Fundamentalism is a religious position typically characterized by a rigid adherence to what are perceived to be the most basic and traditional principles and beliefs of that religion.
The term originated in America as a part of Christianity when The Fundamentals: A Testimony of the Truth was published between 1910 and 1912 - a 12-volume set of books outlining the "fundamental" beliefs which were supposed to be required of all Christians.
The following are "fundamentals of the faith" according to most born again believers:
- The infallibility and inspiration of Scripture.
- The virgin birth of Christ and the Deity of Christ.
- The substitutionary death of Jesus Christ for sinners and the blood atonement.
- The bodily resurrection of Christ and His visible return to earth.
- A judgment of the saved and lost followed by a literal heaven and a literal hell.
Although fundamentalists like to regard themselves as heirs of original Christianity, this is not an accurate view because fundamentalism has emphasized certain doctrines which were never very important within the Christian tradition and which do not appear to have played any particular role in the early church. Among these new doctrines are dispensationalism, premillanialism and biblical inerrancy.
But the term fundamentalism has not been limited in usage just to Christians. Over time, it has been applied to movements in many other religions as well. The Fundamentalism Project offered these "family resemblances" found in most fundamentalist movements:
- religious idealism is used as a foundation for personal and communal identity;
- truth is revealed and unified;
- fundamentalism is intentionally "scandalous" (i.e., makes dramatic an fundamentals challenges to prevailing norms);
- members are part of a cosmic struggle;
- historical events are reinterpreted in light of their cosmic struggle;
- opposition is demonized (because the opposition is on the opposite side of the cosmic struggle);
- what parts of their tradition and heritage are stressed are chosen selectively;
- men almost always control positions of power;
- the modernist cultural hegemony is envied, eve as they try to overturn it;
- the erosion of religion and its proper role in society is normally presented as their primary concern;
- some form of Manicheanism (dualism) is used;
- absolutism and inerrancy in their sources of revelation is stressed;
- some form of Millennialism or Messianism is used.

The line between theology and the philosophy of religion isn't always sharp, but the primary difference is that theology tends to be apologetical in nature, committed to the defense of particular religious positions, whereas Philosophy of Religion is committed to the investigation of religion itself, rather than the truth of any particular religion.

What is your theory of parenting? Is it the "caretaker theory" or the "apprenticeship theory?"
Do you see your role of parent, as your child grows past babyhood, as totally one of making sure s/he never suffers? Do you do almost everything for your child because it is easier, cleaner, takes less time, prevents errors.
Or do you share your world with your child? Are household tasks taught by doing them together according to the child's capability? When appropriate, is your child a participant in activities you, as an adult, are involved in? This last year I have been privileged to see a family that enjoys their children and uses this "apprenticeship style." The child generally gets great pleasure in being able to help.
It can be easy for a parent to justify that s/he doesn't like to see their child not having something or doing something other children have or do. S/he wants the child to be happy. Since I have seen the ultimate unhappiness of these children when grown, the reasoning of these parents is very questionable. Many grown children of "caretaker parents" lack basic abilities to do things for themselves. Unless they can get someone to do what is needed for them they give up on a task. Because there are things they would like and can't afford, they feel deprived, although they have all the necessities of human life. Their learned expectations leave them unhappy.
Parents who see themselves as responsible to teach their "apprentice child" how to live life will make sure the basic needs are filled. Besides this, they will help their child learn skills of living with people; of what one does when disappointed; how to support others when they need it; how to try again when they fail and to know what real love is. These children learn to live life by living it with their parents.

By Bob Nightengale, USA TODAY
MINNEAPOLIS Minnesota Twins center fielder Torii Hunter scans the stands during the national anthem. He's not looking for a particular face. Just a black face.
He stops after a few minutes. It's no different in Minneapolis than in Detroit, St. Louis, Atlanta, Los Angeles or Chicago. He can count the number of African-American fans usually on one hand, almost never more than two.
Why should it be so surprising, though, if there are fewer and fewer African-Americans on the field?
"It's a legitimate problem," Commissioner Bud Selig says. "We're trying to do something about it."
Baseball's African-American population has dwindled from 27% in 1975 to 8%, lowest since baseball was fully integrated in 1959. Baseball has launched numerous programs in an attempt to counteract the decline everything from the RBI (Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities) to building their first Youth Baseball Academy in Compton, Calif. But progress has been slow.
"This decline didn't happen overnight," says Tom Brasuell, Major League Baseball's vice president for community affairs, "so progress won't happen overnight, either."
Hunter, 30, and several African-American players have grown tired of waiting. They are contributing $10,000 apiece to launch an urban Little League program, the "Torii Hunter Project (ToriiHunter48.com)," inviting players of all races and nationalities to contribute. It is designed to sway inner-city youth toward baseball, providing equipment and transportation and upgrading facilities.
"We talk about this problem among ourselves all of the time. We call it a 'blackout,' " says Baltimore Orioles reliever LaTroy Hawkins, 33, who has sent in his check. "There's just not many of us left. Pretty soon, there will be none of us around. We heard all of the excuses. ... So we're doing something about it ourselves."
Twins left fielder Shannon Stewart, 32, was the first to submit his check. Soon came checks from New York Yankees outfielder Gary Sheffield, 37, Seattle designated hitter Carl Everett, 35 on Saturday, Tampa Bay shortstop B.J. Upton, 21, and his brother, minor leaguer Justin, 18. Cincinnati Reds star Ken Griffey Jr., 36, made the most recent $10,000 pledge. Others came from Chicago Cubs' first baseman Derrek Lee, 30, and right fielder Jacque Jones, 31, Seattle left fielder Matt Lawton, 34, and Tampa Bay outfielder Joey Gathright, 25.
"We know people have been trying, but it's time to take things in our own hands," Hunter says. "I don't see more inner-city kids playing baseball. It seems like it's just getting worse. So we want to do it ourselves. ... No advertising people. No one from the commissioner's office. ... We, as players, are going to see what we can do about it."
That draws rousing support from Selig and others in baseball.
"This is exactly what baseball needs," Toronto Blue Jays general manager J.P. Ricciardi says. "Let's face it, we're doing a lousy job getting the African-American kids playing baseball. It's almost like we've had this elitist attitude. It's like we're saying, "This is baseball, you should play our game.'
"Well, those days are over. We're losing almost all of the inner-city athletes to basketball and football. And that's sad. Here's a game that prides itself on Hank Aaron and Willie Mays and Jackie Robinson, and we can't get the next generation to even play."
Shortages of players and coaches
Only 10-15 African-American players are projected to be taken in the first five rounds of this month's amateur draft, according to Logan White, the Los Angeles Dodgers' amateur scouting director. Only high school pitcher Jeremy Jeffress from South Boston, Va., is a likely candidate to be taken in the first round, White says. According to the NCAA, only 6% of collegiate baseball players are African-American.
"We're not asleep. We go in and scout the players," White says. "I'm all over the country ... and the number of African-Americans playing college baseball would shock people. You can go ... weeks without seeing a black player. It is absolutely shocking."
Ken Williams of the Chicago White Sox, MLB's only African-American general manager, says: "I'd love to get involved (with Hunter's program). ... There are so few scholarships, and we're losing these kids to other sports. It's become an expensive game to get good at. ... What's happening is that the best fields, best equipment and best instructors are in the suburbs and not the inner cities."
The MLB-constructed Youth Baseball Academy is scheduled to provide education and baseball instruction to players as is done in Latin American countries. Baseball's RBI program, which introduced baseball programs to inner-city teens, has been around since 1989. The Little League urban initiative program, which has contributed $500,000 to renovate youth fields and help provide for 10 teams to attend a Jamboree in Williamsport, Pa., during the summer, has been around for six years.
Hunter and the other players have agreed to sponsor four inner-city Little League teams from North Richmond, Va., Mount Vernon, N.Y., New Haven, Conn., and Wilkes-Barre, Pa. to play exhibition games at the Little League World Series in August. The teams will be flown into Williamsport, stay in the dorms with the championship teams, eat in the dining room and soak in the environment.
Brasuell, who annually attends the American Baseball Coaches Association Convention, said there are also precious few African-Americans among the 3,000 youth coaches.
"You can count the coaches of color on one or two hands. ... So we're missing on some kids because they aren't being seen," Brasuell said.
"It's going to help having guys like Torii Hunter and Derek Jeter being active in programs like this because players nowadays don't live in the inner-city communities. It's not like the days Willie Mays was out playing stickball with all of the kids."
Boston Red Sox center fielder Coco Crisp, a member of the 1995 Los Angeles Senior Division RBI World Series championship team, believes the impact of the players involved with Hunter's program could be immeasurable.
"That these kids will actually know who's behind the program and see them play on TV, will be huge," Crisp, 26, says. "The RBI program is good, but I think this will help get kids more involved.
"Let's face it, the competition these days is rough. You've got all of the Japanese players and Latin players coming over now to play. That means fewer jobs. Baseball wants the best players out there, no matter what their color."
Better marketing needed
The program was an idea born in talks with Hunter and his agent, Larry Reynolds.
Reynolds contacted his brother, ESPN analyst and former major leaguer Harold Reynolds, who directed them to David James, director of the urban initiative program for Little League baseball.
"We've seen our numbers decline in the urban communities, too," says James, who gave no figures. "We saw a continuing decline in Chicago. We had gone five or 10 years in St. Louis and Kansas City where we didn't have any Little League program operating. This will impact the child that doesn't have the resources or talent to be an All-Star to come to Williamsport to play on the field."
MLB, too, is frustrated by the lack of African-American players and fans.
"It's happening more and more. You're seeing it reflected in the stands, as well," Chicago White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf says. "Other than the early days of Jackie Robinson and the first wave of black players, black attendance in major league baseball has been very, very small. We've tried everything we could think of, and nothing has worked.
"We even had trouble giving away tickets. We went to churches and schools in black communities, and that (didn't create) any enthusiasm.
"We're open to ideas."
Teams are starting to target ethnic groups in an attempt to increase their fan base, Brasuell said. Many teams will have different promotional heritage nights, such as Latino Night or Asian-American night. The Pittsburgh Pirates are opening a Negro League exhibit later this month at their ballpark.
Still, Brasuell said, much work needs to be done.
"We have not done the best job in letting (the African-American community) know how great our product is," Brasuell says. "We've got to get the word out how available these tickets are. ... One of the things that created momentum was in '97 when we celebrated the 50-year anniversary of Jackie Robinson throughout the season. Next year is the 60-year anniversary. We're going to have to get that momentum back and not lose it this time."
In the meantime, Dodgers scouting director White says the scarcity of African-American amateur players needs to be addressed and resolved.
"Look at the major cities," he says. "Chicago hasn't had a high-end African-American player (come from there) in years. There might be one high-end kid in New York. The Bay Area doesn't have anything. Even in L.A., what have we really had since Eric Davis and (Darryl) Strawberry?
"I just think the game has become such a socioeconomic game now," he says. "The average family can't afford to spend $1,500 to have their son playing traveling baseball or $100 for hitting and pitching lessons. We need to get these kids playing, and that starts from the floor up."
Black heritage unknown to youth
Hunter, who grew up in Pine Bluff, Ark., with a father whom he says was a crack addict, could have turned to football and basketball. But baseball was his passion, the sport everyone played.
"You go around the neighborhood in any city, and there are no kids playing baseball," Hunter says. "You stop and tell these inner-city kids about the history of the sport, and they have no clue. You mention the Negro Leagues, and they say, "What is that?' They don't know who Hank Aaron is. Willie Mays. Satchel Paige. ... But no one seems to care."
Hall of Fame shortstop Ozzie Smith attended Locke High School in south central Los Angeles, as did Hall of Famer Eddie Murray, and believes one of the biggest problems simply is patience.
"These kids are all looking for the quick fix," Smith, 51, says. "When they see players like Kobe Bryant and LeBron (James) go straight from high school to the NBA, that's their focus. It's not like the Latin American countries, where baseball is still the king. It's time to beat the bushes. It's time to send a message about our sport.
"What Torii and these guys are doing is great. Now these kids have faces and names to look up to. It can only help, before it's too late."

We dedicate this year's fair in honor and remembrance of our brave miners.
It is once again time for our Community Awareness Fair, and there are many things which we have been thinking about for the last year or two. One of those things is evacuation.
With all the wild fires throughout our state in the last couple of years in which people have been evacuated in a hurry, there is a great urgency in getting 72 hour kits together for families and pets. If you were evacuated, and you had only two minutes to grab what you needed, would you be able to get it and go?
It is very important to have all of your needs met in a 72 hour kit: food, water, temporary shelter, hygiene, clothing suitable for the weather, toys and activities for children, pencils, paper, cell phones and chargers, important numbers (Family and other emergency contacts), things that your pets may need, and things for the grown-ups to do too (Sudoku puzzles, crosswords, word searches, etc.).
Each child should have their own kit with toys, some small coloring books, crayons or colored pencils, and small games. I know of several moms who have said that this is a great idea.
Don't forget a small can opener to get into cans. The Internet has become a valuable tool in today's search for things that families may need in an emergency. The following sites are quite helpful.
http://www.fema.gov/ This is the Federal Emergency Management Agency's web site.
http://www.quakekare.com/ This website has some already made 72 hour kits for families and pets
http://www.lifesecure.com/ This site also has 72 hour kits, and it has bird flu kits as well
http://www.safetycentral.com/ This site has 72 hour kits among other things
Some sites offer a range of products and brand names, while others stay very simple and generalized.
Another thing that we have been thinking of is home preparations.What can we do to prepare our home for extreme weather, flooding, and fires?
There are many different answers to this question, from the shingles on the roof, to landscaping.
We should also have first aid kits, not only in our homes, but it is smart to have one in each of our vehicles as well. Our homes need to be as prepared as we can make them for emergency situations.
Carbon and Emery County have both had their fair share of wild weather, and flooding is no stranger to any of us here either. Remember, it never hurts to plan for the worst and hope for the best.
Come out to the Carbon and Emery Emergency Preparedness Fair and receive information on a great deal of emergency preparedness items and subjects. We are working together to bring education to our communities, and protection to our families.
Serving in our communities, we can make a difference.

Skip to comments.Zombies vs. Jesus
Posted on 04/06/2013 5:56:58 AM PDT by Kaslin
On Easter Sunday evening, a TV show about good and evil aired on the History Channel -- the final installment of "The Bible" miniseries in which Jesus is executed. AMC ran the season-ending episode of "The Walking Dead" -- the series where zombies try to eat the brains of human beings. One footnote: The world might have been a better place had the zombies preemptively gotten to the guy who thought up this series in the first place.
Anyway, the zombies won. They beat Jesus in the ratings, especially among viewers ages 18 to 49.
What lesson can be derived from Jesus losing to the walking dead? Well, it proves that about 12 million Americans want to see blood and gore. Wait -- there was plenty of that in the Bible's crucifixion scenes. Maybe the zombie viewers simply wanted cheap thrills. Yeah, that's it. Cheap thrills triumphed over a spiritual experience. Cannibalism beat baptism.
Base entertainment almost always beats highbrow stuff. But watching flesh-eating zombies on Easter does put a different spin on things, does it not? I mean, how soon can we digest dismemberment on television after eating our baked ham dinner? One hour? Two?
At least Jesus was in context. The New Testament says the son of God rose from the dead on Easter. The zombies rise from the dead whenever their makeup is finished.
Honestly, I have no idea what this zombie phenomenon is all about. Way back in the 1960s, I saw the first modern zombie movie: "Night of the Living Dead." Things were creeping along OK until a little girl turned into a zombie and tried to eat her mom. At that point, my entire group decided enough was enough, and we bolted out of the theater.
But today that scene would be tame. Now zombie kids will eat their entire families if given the opportunity. Depravity doesn't even begin to cover it. Apparently, we Americans have an unending appetite for gross behavior. Pun intended.
What must Jesus think? Here he is, being nailed to the cross by smirking Romans and getting trounced by TV zombies at the same time. The prince of peace preached that we all should love our neighbors as ourselves. I do not believe that Jesus would condone eating your neighbor even if you are dead.
Many folks who like this zombie business freely admit it's a low form of entertainment. "But so what?" they say. It's fun to envision yourself outsmarting zombies, blasting them to hell with shotguns and then escaping to some tattoo parlor. I guess that's fun in some precincts.
But not for me. I threw in with Jesus even though the guy who played him looked a bit like Spicoli in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High." Sure, I knew how the miniseries was going to end, but there are worse things you could do on Easter Sunday -- like watching man-eating zombies.
All I know is this: When Jesus appeared to the apostles after he died, thank God they did not have access to AMC.
Quite right. In fact, attempts to use the Bible as the rationale for opposition alienates more people than it convinces. It is counter-productive.
Same with religiously based arguments for any other policy.
I happen to think this attitude on the part of so many Americans is idiotic, but not as idiotic as continuing to alienate them by promoting what they see as theocracy.
You must not have been paying attention to the Mormon Wars around here. Some truly vitriolic stuff has been posted, along with some perfectly legitimate criticism.
It's been a while, so I may be wrong, but I seem to remember Jim having a policy for a while of banning those who were overly vociferous in their defense of Romney, although possibly not entirely because of his religion. This was back during the primaries.
The fact that some people have issues with Mormons is a far cry from FR being anti Mormon. The issue most people have with Romney is the fact that he's a liberal. Where is all the screaming about FR being anti Mormon when it comes to Mormon democrats?
I don't have issues with Mormons and I don't wet myself over those who do.
Maybe, maybe not, but he's certainly not a baby-killing, FP-communist, intent on destroying every aspect of the USA.
A pox on all those who helped the Kenyan get re-elected.
Yeah, that's the gasbag's excuse so he can straddle the fence and and avoid strong convictions. Didn't he once refer on-air to Free Republic as a "right-wing hate site?"
The only thing I'll ever miss about his show is seeing his swollen ego occasionally punctured. I'm not much of a Neal Boortz fan, but that time he provoked O'Reilly into a vein-pulsing screaming fit was priceless.
I'm taking it up with those who actually did it...the non-voting conservative Einsteins. They also could have changed the personnel of the GOP.
You can wear that Obama label with pride.
You don't know how I voted now STFU and do as Karl Rove tells you.
I have not watched a single TV show live since DVRs came out, and I had one before Cable companies ever considered them. I have used EyeTV to record since the old 240 LPI days.
Before the election I would record Fox then watch it so I could fast forward past the BO bloviating. same with Shannity.
Have been FOX free since November 1st when I gave up on the dis-informatio age.
You dont know how I voted now
Well you sure seem to be defending the "I didn't vote" crowd. You didn't vote against Obama. Did you?
do as Karl Rove tells you.
He can't seem to get his instructions through to me.
Right back atcha sweet-talker. What are ya, some kind of a fifty-third party freak?
Well, I do not know what to say, except you are correct.
You didn't vote against Obama. Did you?
LOL! Your second statement belies your first.
I don't care about Romney's loss, I care deeply about Obama's win.
Had he lost, the economy would have righted itself the following week, none of this progressive crap would be happening.
The Low Information conservatives are just as to blame for this as the RAT election-thieves.
So you didn't vote against him either.
Any Christian that can not say God or Jesus Christ on TV is neither a Christian or Consevative.
Maybe we could consult the deity as he often does.
Maybe you like him because he endorsed gay marriage with that scum Rosie? He also supports many of the democrat gun control policies publicly and I bet he supports all of them privately.
Keep throwing your little tantrum. I'm ignoring it from here on out like I would any other toddler.
You haven't denied it...wear it with pride.
It is impossible to vote against anyone. Think.
Truth is stranger than fact. Call me at BR-549.
Flunked math didn't ya.
>> "Any Christian that can not say God or Jesus Christ on TV is neither a Christian or Consevative." <<
Some may prefer the Biblical names Yahowa and Yashua, rather than caving in to Greek mythology (Christos being a mythjological pagan 'god.')
He ranks right up there with Geraldo Rivera
Flunked Logic, didn't ya!
>> "He ranks right up there with Geraldo Rivera" <<
Somewhere between the Facultative and Septic layers of the sludge tank?
In the US, there's two sides, not three or four or more.
In a fair voting scenario, the side with more votes wins.
If one side cheats, the other side has to out-produce them with turnout.
Looks like the Obama/RAT side did their job.
Something wrong with that?
I actually looked it up, because of your inquiry.
They have a package called 'starter' that does not have either AMC or the History Channel, they both poop up at the next level called 'essential'.
>> "The New Testament says the son of God rose from the dead on Easter" <<
Uhhh No!
The NT says: (Mat 28)
"1] In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
[2] And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
[3] His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
[4] And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.
[5] And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
[6] He is not here: for he is risen, as he said."
Thus, long before it began to dawn on the First Day of the Weeks, he had arisen as the third day ended (sundown "saturday" by the pagan calendar) just as had been prophecied.
My how so-called "Christians" love their mythology!
As I said, you flunked logic completely.
In US elections, there is no box to mark "against" any candidate. One must vote "For" one, or not vote at all.
I voted for McStain but don't run around blaming everyone else for his complete and utter failure.
The GOP has serious problems and those screeching the loudest about it being the fault of the people are headed for a lifetime of disappointment.
Some folks have convinced themselves of some great political history of the Romney family which isn't really true. George Romney was a liberal republican who actively sought the help of Saul Alinsky to save Detroit. He also stomped offstage when Goldwater won the nomination then actively campaigned against him in the general election.
Mitt Romney was a one term governor who saw the writing on the wall and chose to step aside after 1 term. Scott Romney (Who the GOP is pimping for a senate race for the Levin seat) is a failed attorney general candidate. Scott's wife Ronna Romney was a state senator who ran against Levin and was defeated.
Nope. In fact the math is on my side, as the last election clearly demonstrated.
"....Right back atcha sweet-talker. What are ya, some kind of a fifty-third party freak?"
You're probably wasting your time trying to reason with the simple minded. They typically have difficulty recognizing the unintended (i.e., unintended except for the Trolls) consequences to which their thinking and actions may lead so will remain totally unopened to your lines of reasoning. Believe me, I've tried and failed repeatedly.
I wish we could be united in opposing the progressives' agenda and stop attacking and wounding each other.
Voting for his opponent IS voting against him, whether you love the opponent or not.
Failing to vote IS NOT voting against him.
The last election demonstrated obvious election fraud which nobody challenged. There were instances in several RAT cities (aren't they all) which had 120+ percent of voter turnout and all votes were cast for Obama, some ballots had no down-ticket selections. People complained about having voted differently and then seeing their vote having gone to Obama.
Some RATs were prosecuted for multiple voting, but what do you expect from a party whose motto is "vote early and often"
Who challenged any of this?
A few million of the Rocket Scientist Conservatives who brilliantly stayed home would have changed the outcome.
Right. As always.
Some RATs were prosecuted for multiple voting [...]
Right. likewise, as every election.
A few million of the Rocket Scientist Conservatives who brilliantly stayed home would have changed the outcome.
Again, as always. And more over (and more importantly) the people who normally stay home did too.
You are making my case for me.
If you want Conservatives to vote for you and change the outcome, give them someone to vote *for*.
And if you REALLY want a landslide, get the folks who don't vote to come too. Give them something to vote *for*.
As always when someone is whining and butt-sore, It's YOUR PRODUCT, not your competition.
These people should have been voting against Obama to save the US. It will take us decades to recover...if we do.
What more reason would you need?
There have been a lot of zombie movies and they all seem to have "dead" in the title.
"Night of the Living Dead" (1968) -- with all its endless remakes and sequels -- is the most famous.
"The Plague of the Zombies" was a 1966 flick from Britain. "Orgy of the Dead" was a 1965 American one.
And lo! "Creature of the Walking Dead" was a 1965 low budget exploitation film that got very low ratings from critics and viewers. So that must be the one.
About O'Reilly: he's sort of right, but it's been that way for a very long time, at least since cable broke up the old three network monopoly.
I wish we could be united in opposing the progressives agenda and stop attacking and wounding each other."
Do you think you should maybe take your own advice?
Here's the thing. More and more Republicans are pushing amnesty, and one by one, they're caving to sodomite marriage. At some point, the GOP will adopt both as official party planks. Then, when you go to cast your vote for one of them, you'll be supporting the progressive agenda instead of opposing it.
The difference with the AMC show is that the title refers to the human characters.
"Do you think you should maybe take your own advice?...."
Did I write something to you that offended you? Did I somehow "attack and wound" you?
Seriously, you know nothing about me or who or what I support. A little searching of posts might enlighten you somewhat, but perhaps that's a little too much work for you.
Bill O'Reilly complains that The Walking Dead was shown on Easter Sunday and at the same time as The Bible on the History Channel.
Please let me know if you would like on or off The Walking Dead ping list.
This weak article was written about TWD for one reason only, to generate article hits, for revenue.
Seriously, you know nothing about me or who or what I support. A little searching of posts might enlighten you somewhat, but perhaps thats a little too much work for you."
A little hormonal this afternoon? I pointed out your hypocrisy. A person of integrity would own up to it...it's simple to do. Never mind, though.
I don't need to search posts. You told me the other day that you would vote for a Republican who supported sodomite marriage over a Democrat, but hey, that doesn't mean YOU"RE for it.
Keep telling yourself that.
Conservatives live by and vote by their principles. You can't expect them to vote *for* someone who doesn't adhere to those principles. If it could be done, there would not BE Conservatives. This outcome was PERFECTLY predictable (and was predicted as such).
Again, look to your product. It was inferior, to be kind, and you got spanked for it. Opposition, the clarion call, does *not* form around "well, our guy is better than the other guy..."
If you want the Christians, don't feed them a homo-lovin' abortionist (and a Mormon to boot). Feed them a hard-core Pro-Life, Pro-Marriage Evangelical. You've got to be an idiot to do otherwise.
If you want the Military vote, You don't feed them a guy whose whole family has never served. You feed them a guy out of the Military and foreign policy arena - A guy who KNOWS why they put their ass on the line, and will honor that as sacred.
If you want the civil-libertarians, don't feed them a 'living document' liberal who embraces illegal aliens. Feed them a Constitutional Constructionist and federalist who believes in the Rule of Law.
If you want Fiscal Conservatives, don't feed them a Keynesian Tax and Spender. Feed them an Austrian Capitalist.
If you want the south, don't feed them a Yankee. And if you want the West, don't feed them a Yankee.
I know that ain't what you are used to hearing - Rove want's everyone to get along and pimp his ride. Conservatives come at a price, and they always have.

Transferring Federal Aid
Learn more about transferring your aid to JBU
Have you received federal aid elsewhere based on the current year's FAFSA?
Due to federal regulations, students may only receive federal aid at one institution at a time. If you are interested in receiving aid at two institutions during this school year, complete the following steps to transfer your aid to JBU:
1. Add JBU's school code of 001100 to your current FAFSA. JBU should receive your FAFSA results a few days thereafter. Note: you must be applicant or have already been accepted into the Degree Completion Program for financial aid to be processed.
2. Provide documentation of the aid already received at your other school and the time period in which it was received. For example, an email to Erica Kollman describing aid received, such as: "I have received a $100 Pell Grant, a $1,000 subsidized loan, and a $1,000 unsubsidized loan at ABC College during fall 2014, and I will not be receiving any aid at ABC institution spring 2015" would give us some of the needed information to set up your financial aid at JBU.
By submitting both of these items, the information provided can be used to generate your financial aid award at JBU.
If you have accepted aid at another institution for the time period that you will now be attending JBU, be sure to notify that institution that you wish to cancel the aid for that time period.

Does anyone know if this is going to be aired on TV or on IceNetwork?
Thank you!
Does anyone know if this is going to be aired on TV or on IceNetwork?
Thank you!
well NBC has skating this afternoon and during prime time again today. first broadcast looks to be a repeat of last night's free skate...the one during primetime only says "countdown to vancouver" so I don't know if it's an exhibition or a recap or what?
Ok! Thank you.
I hope Ice Network has rights to the gala :P Knowing NBC they'll only show the top 2 senior winners or something =__=
Turns out the prime time chunk of skating being aired on NBC is in fact the gala
Good god, I hope they don't all skate a watered down version of their SP.
Ashley skated a great exhibition! Oh I wish we could send three ladies...
does anybody know the name of the song Ashley skated to?
That little 10 year old Novice Champion Nathan Chen was so cute! He is amazing at this age!
Love Johnny's exhibition, his footwork is amazing
Pfft, Nathan Chen totally under rotated that 3sal. Just kidding! He wasn't just adorable, but the footwork and transitions and command of the ice was at a higher level than a lot of senior skaters.
Massive fail on the part of the lighting and camera work for Samuelson and Bates' disco routing, causing us to miss most of Bates' solo moves. But still, fun!
And speaking of campy, Johnny must've been inspired by his recent Lady Gaga concert, because he vamped the hell out of that performance of Poker Face.
Did we really need to see that parade of corpses? I know zombies and the undead are popular now, but let's save it for the movies.
After a slew of inspired and energetic song choices, Jeremy brings it all down with an insipid ballad from Michael Bublé. I hope Rachael Flatt can salvage some of this.
Nope. She uses a techno remake of Fame that sounds more dated than the original. Painful.

The USTA Pro Circuit, the largest developmental tennis circuit in the world, kicks off its 35th season this week with two clay-court events in Florida—the $10,000 men's Futures in Plantation and the $25,000 women's event in Vero Beach. This year, the USTA Pro Circuit will feature 87 events, including eight $100,000 events and a record 36 tournaments on clay, and will award nearly $3 million in total prize money to its players.
The Plantation tournament begins a string of seven clay-court men's Futures events, and the Vero Beach tournament is the first of three consecutive $25,000 women's events to be played on clay. This is the first of two clay-court seasons that will take place on the USTA Pro Circuit calendar this year, with the other beginning in the spring prior to the French Open.
In conjunction with USTA Player Development, the USTA Pro Circuit continues to emphasize the importance of increased training for younger players on clay, particularly at the $10,000 and $25,000 levels for women and the $10,000 and $15,000 levels for men.
"For 35 years, the USTA Pro Circuit has developed hundreds of American players and brought world-class tennis to local communities nationwide," said Brian Earley, Director of the USTA Pro Circuit. "We are excited to begin 2014 with strong playing fields and look forward to what the year will bring—from high-quality live streaming for fans, coaches and players, to the chance for players to compete in Grand Slam events through their results on the Pro Circuit. We also have many new events this year that will contribute to the USTA's mission to promote and develop the growth of tennis throughout the country."
Following its success in 2013, live streaming will continue this year for all 16 USTA Pro Circuit men's Challengers (prize money of $50,000 and higher). Live streaming will begin on Jan. 20 at the $50,000 Royal Lahaina Challenger in Maui, Hawaii, and will be offered for select women's events this year, as well. Live scoring will also be available for all men's and women's events at all levels at www.procircuit.usta.com.
Also this year, USTA Player Development will again award wild cards into the main draws of the French Open and US Open based on players' results on the USTA Pro Circuit. In April, a series of three men's events (the $100,000 Challenger in Sarasota, Fla., and $50,000 events in Savannah, Ga., and Tallahassee, Fla.) and three women's events ($50,000 events in Dothan, Ala., Charlottesville, Va., and Indian Harbour Beach, Fla.) will comprise the Har-Tru USTA Pro Circuit Wild Card Challenge, with Har-Tru signing on for another year as the sponsor of the wild-card events.
In July and August, a series of hard-court men's and women's events will decide the men's and women's wild cards into the 2014 US Open. Wild cards will be determined by the American man and woman who accumulate the greatest number of ATP and WTA ranking points at the selected events.
The opening weeks of competition for the 2014 season feature both up-and-coming players and veterans looking to rebuild or develop their games, including Ryan Sweeting, who has not played in an ATP or USTA Pro Circuit tournament since March 2013 due to injury. Sweeting, who married "Big Bang Theory" actress Kaley Cuoco on New Year's Eve, peaked at No. 64 in the world in 2011, winning the U.S. Men's Clay Court Championship in Houston that year. Sweeting holds three singles titles and three doubles titles on the USTA Pro Circuit.
World No. 95 Bradley Klahn, two-time NCAA singles champion Steve Johnson and top young Americans Ryan Harrison, Donald Young and Denis Kudla are also scheduled to begin their seasons in the coming weeks, having entered the Maui Challenger, which will take place during the second week of the Australian Open.
On the women's side, up-and-coming Americans Tornado Alicia Black, the 15-year-old who reached the girls' singles final at the 2013 US Open and won the first pro singles title of her career at the $10,000 USTA Pro Circuit event in Amelia Island, Fla., in September 2013, and newly minted pro Allie Kiick, the daughter of former Miami Dolphin running back Jim Kiick and a finalist in 2013 at the USTA Girls' 18s National Championships singles event and won the doubles title with Sachia Vickery, will be in action, as will 2012 US Open girls' champion Samantha Crawford, who is coming back from injury, and Top-10 junior Louisa Chirico.
With prize money ranging from $10,000 to $100,000, the USTA Pro Circuit is the pathway to the US Open and tour-level competition for aspiring tennis professionals and a frequent battleground for established players. Last year, more than 1,000 men and women from more than 70 countries played on the USTA Pro Circuit, competing for valuable ATP and WTA ranking points. Administered on the local level, the USTA Pro Circuit brings world-class tennis to local courts nationwide as part of the fabric of communities, providing an opportunity for current and new fans to experience the excitement and intensity of the professional game in their neighborhoods.
Since 1979, 17 USTA Pro Circuit alums (including five Americans) have achieved the No. 1 world singles rankings. Maria Sharapova, Andy Roddick, Lindsay Davenport, Pete Sampras, Justine Henin, Jim Courier and Andre Agassi are among the game's top stars who began their careers on the USTA Pro Circuit. The past few years have seen breakout performances by a number of USTA Pro Circuit players, including John Isner, Sloane Stephens, Jack Sock and Madison Keys.

How-To Geek
How to Type Faster with the Swype Keyboard for Android
The Swype keyboard for Android replaces pecking at letters with gliding your fingers over them. Swype automatically interprets your gesture and figures out the word you meant to type.
Swype is possible thanks to Android's flexibility — third-party developers can replace your system's keyboard, offering new text-entry experiences. iPhone users are out of luck.
Switching to Swype
Many Android devices come with the Swype keyboard, but it isn't enabled by default. To find out if you already have Swype installed, long-press any text entry area with your finger. You'll see a menu.
Tap "Input method" in the menu.
Switch to Swype by tapping it if it appears in the menu.
If you don't have Swype installed, you can download the beta from Swype's website. It's a non-Market application, so you'll have to enable the "Unknown Sources" option on your Android to install it.
Basic Usage
If you wanted to type "how to geek" on a normal touch-screen keyboard, you'd tap each character in succession, lifting your finger from the screen after each tap. You may have to go back and edit what you've typed if your finger missed a letter.
On Swype, you swipe over words. Touch your finger to the H, move it to the O, move it to the W and lift your finger. Swype will automatically detect the appropriate word and place it in the text box.
I actually overshot the O here and went to the P instead. Swype is smart enough to correct for this error and know that I probably meant to type "how," not "hpw."
What if I meant to type "hope" instead? No problem. Swype displays other possible words above your keyboard; tap a word to use it instead.
This works even if you're typing several words at once. You can tap the incorrect word in the text entry field to select it and view the suggested alternatives.
To type additional words, lift your finger from the screen between each word. Swype automatically inserts spaces for you.
Double Letters
Swype tries to detect when a word, such as "geek," requires two of the same letters in a row. There's also a way to tell Swype that you want more than one letter: make a little loop over the letter or scribble over it while swiping.
Swype automatically capitalizes words that appear at the beginning of a sentence, but you can also use a special gesture to capitalize letters. If you'd like to type "How", with a capital H, start at the H, swipe above and off the keyboard, swipe back down onto the keyboard and swipe over the other letters normally.
Adding Words to Swype's Dictionary
Swype's magic depends on its internal dictionary of words. If it doesn't know a word or acronym you want to type, it won't let you swipe it. Luckily, you can add words yourself. Let's say we want to add "HTG" to the word list. Swype can also be used as a normal, hunt-and-peck keyboard, so we'll tap it in normally.
At the bottom of the screen, Swype suggests NTH as the closest match in its dictionary. We can tap the "HTG" option down there to select it.
Tap the "Add to Dictionary" option to add your new word to Swype's dictionary.
Punctuation and Single-Letter Words
To add punctuation, swipe from the punctuation mark to the space bar. For example, to add a comma after typing a word, press your finger down on the comma, move it to the space bar and lift it. This automatically inserts the punctuation mark, followed by a space, so you can continue swiping. You can also swipe to the space bar to type a single-letter word, like "a" or "I," followed by a space. Swype automatically capitalizes the word "I."
Let's say you want to type the word "pot." The direct route is a straight line from P to T. But that could be a number of words: pot, put or pit.
Your swipe doesn't have to take the direct route. Avoid the U and I and Swype will know exactly which word you meant.
Configuring Swype
You can press and hold the Swype key at the bottom-left corner of the keyboard to access Swype's settings. You can also find its settings under Language and keyboard in your system settings menu.
From Swype's settings screen, you can adjust Swype's language and preferences, manage your personal dictionary and view Swype's tips and help.
Swype seems like a rather odd idea at first — screenshots of it in action, with scribbles all over the keyboard, can look a bit haphazard. But if you give Swype a try, you'll be surprised how fast everything clicks into place.
Comments (21)
swype rocks…
You forgot the important gesture from the "Swype Key" to "Sym" which shows you a great navigation option for longer texts.
I use swype all the time and I never had to press "add to dictionary option". In mine, it gets added automatically after I "manually" typed it once. I'm using version 126.96.36.19960
For those running newerish version (v3 & up), you can swype from the swype key to a (to select all) — swype key to c (to copy) — swype key to x (to cut) & v to paste. this definitely saves time.
the only feature i want out of any other keyboard into swype is the swype fast from far right to left to delete previous word. yes, you can press the swype button & it highlights last word typed, but it's easier to do it from a quick swype for me. i like that feature in swiftkey
Any hope of this being available to iPhone users?
I can't type very well, but with Swype, it makes it very easy. I would hate to text without it.
At one time, I had the ability to remove words from the Swype dictionary, but this seems to have disappeared recently. Any ideas on how to restore this feature? It is a bit irritating that my Swype keyboard wants to automatically insert "lsat" when I try for the word, "last." Almost without fail, I have to delete the word and manually type each letter to get it right, which takes away from the appeal of Swype.
(Running Swype version 22.214.171.12417 on Android 2.3.4, HTC T-Mobile G2, for anyone who has technical expertise he/she can offer.)
Aside from that, I prefer Swype over the other input methods.
Great tip about not taking the direct route when you swipe. I find that it can be really annoying when the wrong word appears, and more often than not, it's because I ran my finger over another letter enroute to another.
I'm finding more and more that touch screen keyboards are bit ineffective. I'm on a Galaxy S and am actually thinking of switching back to a tactile keyboard. I've got pretty small hands and holding the phone while swiping with the same hand/thumb is cumbersome–it's an uncomfortable fit that literally causes you mis-swipe.
Despite that, I have to admit that, for a touch screen, swiping is a more efficient method.
Swype is a godsend for me as I have big fingers. The thought of using a touch screen phone used to scare the hell out of me. I still have misspelling but it's not nearly as often. As I have been practicing I can almost go as fast with Swype as I can with a physical keyboard. I suspect that over time it will only get better.
Can I put in a word for the SlideIT keyboard? Maybe it's because I started with SlideIT that I prefer it but I don't think there is any feature that it doesn't have. I never worry about double letters because it gets them right 99 times out of 100. Punctuation doesn't need a slide to the space bar because it automatically puts a space after each mark. Probably Swype can do that too.
Give SlideIT a try and compare it to Swype, which did come with my phon. It's in the Marketplace.
How do I turn off tips, mine doesn't have "Show Tips" check box. It's annoying because everytime I type a hidden word it pops up.
HTC (Desire S) has a similar (possibly a derivation or licensed version of swipe) called Trace in the keyboard setup.
Swype is great! I have been using it for
a month now, doesn't even bother to check if it's correct spelled, because it's done always! ;)
I cannot say enough good things about swype! It has actually made it easy and fun to type on my mobile.
Swype is a "non-market app" because it's not good enough to be on the Market, and if you've seen the crap that's on the Market… that's saying something. There are two reasons for a free app to want to steer clear of the Android Market. One, they want to avoid bad reviews. Two, they want to avoid a low rating. Go ahead and take your pick.
Swipe-to-type is a neat gimmick, but other keyboard apps can do it, too, and they're good enough to be available in the Market. Somebody mentioned SlideIT; FlexT9 can do it as well and has a few other neat text entry options. Personally, I don't like the gimmick. I can type as fast as the next guy, but thinking about that path from letter to letter… no thanks. I have a big (4.3″) screen, so I use Thumb Keyboard to sort of divide and conquer. I type pretty fast with it.
Swype is actually available on jailbroken iPhones via the Cydia appstore. Enjoy!
SwiftkeyX all the way
Boooooo!!!!!! It won't work with my screen resolution 9.7″ screen LePan TC970. Guess it's made for cell phones, which makes sense. Doesn't mean much for 10 finger typists, only thumb stabbers and single finger amputees.
Ouch, sorry to hear it. Maybe you can find a similar app in Google Play? (formerly known as the Android Market).
Android's lack of tablet-optimized apps is a real problem.
The list of words it knows is huge and sometimes too big. One of the suggestions it gave me yesterday was interregnum, from Hari Seldon's history in Foundation. Not helpful having that right at the top of the list of guesses.
I find the up-to-capitalize gesture only works if I float there for a while.
It writes you're in place of your whether or not I aim for the apostrophe key.
An attempt to write "it" usually spells p"out". In usually becomes on, vegetarian sometimes becomes
(continuing, because getting back to the last lube of (line of) a message in a Amdahl (Amdahl, small) text box is impossible)
vegetarian becomes Croatian, of becomes odd, scribbles are missed mmaking the tip show frequently, finger-down events are missed making the trace start late.
Still, it's faster than pecking and mire (more) accurate than voice transcription.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
The Desertview Pro Rodeo came to town the end of July and along with cowboys and cowgirls from across the United States came rodeo judge Kenny Behling. Behling is a Ferron native and now resides in Clovis, Calif. on a cattle ranch outside of a large metropolitan area.
Behling graduated from Emery High in 1978 where he was active in high school rodeo. He attended trade tech for two years and worked in a coal mine for two years. He returned to school at Utah State University in Logan.
Behling earned a full ride scholarship to the University of Wyoming where he spent four years of rodeoing at the college level. In high school and college he went to the finals in team roping. Behling was the high school state champion calf roper. Behling remembers his partners in team roping as Brenda Durfee in college and Shane Nielson in high school roping. He went to the high school finals in team roping with Hallie Lemon.
After college he turned pro and went rodeoing. "When I started winning I just took off and hit the circuit," Behling rode bulls full time, "It was a full time vacation that paid for itself. I met my wife Sally at a rodeo in California in 1986. We were married in 1987.
"I was still riding bulls, she couldn't travel with me too much because she had a job. Her family had a cattle ranch in Clovis and I helped out on the ranch and did some construction work too. In 1993, I broke my neck riding bulls, so I quit. I hit the ground wrong when I landed and landed on my head. While I was recovering from that injury I started judging more rodeos. I had judged a little bit before my injury and I started judging more after my injury. I was doing maybe 10 rodeos a year before and now I do 25-30 in a year. It's a nice part time job. We own the cattle ranch now and we run 300 head of mother cows. We have two sons 14 and 16 years old.
"In the rodeo all events need a judge. Bareback, saddle bronc, bulls and the other events. There is a rule book which lists the criteria for the rider and the animals. On a bareback ride you look for a horse that bucks hard and has a lot of qualities. You look for how well the rider rides the horse. A perfect score is 100. When you have two judges you each give up to 50 points. Twenty-five of the points are for the animal and the other 25 is for the cowboy. There's only been one perfect score. We each have our own side to watch to make sure the rider spurs the horse out. I like all of the events.
"To be a good bull rider you have to be half crazy and draw a good bull and ride it well. Guys who do well have that competitive spirit. It takes a lot of practice and a lot of it is mental and having a positive attitude. More of the cowboys these days are athletes. You have to be aggressive.
"I travel to rodeos all around the United States. Some of the bigger rodeos have four judges and you're more event specific at those rodeos. It's set up to break up the responsibility so there's not as much pressure judging all the events. I usually judge the rough stock. Sometimes people get upset, but a rodeo judge is hired for their opinion. If you stay within the guidelines in the rule book you're fine. It boils down to how well you can identify the criteria for each event. You watch for the spur stroke. You watch for how much control the cowboy has. You identify how well the animal bucks and the power he has and the amount of kick. You come up with a number (score). You need to stay consistent. The smaller rodeos usually have two judges.
"I really enjoy what I'm doing. I usually fly to a rodeo, or drive if it's close. Judges apply for the rodeos they would like to judge a month in advance. Tommy Keith is the supervisor of the Pro Rodeo officials, he is from Colorado Springs, Colo. and he makes all of the assignments. The judges belong to the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association. The judges are all rated. The judges with the higher ratings are assigned first for the month and it continues until all the rodeos for the month are assigned. The judges all get along pretty well. They are team players. Our job is to get the money in the right spot. Judges are trained and go to a judging seminar each year to get caught up on new rules.
"This year I've been to Ft. Worth, Texas, Palm Springs, Calif; Clovis, Calif; Lehi, Prescott, Ariz; Spanish Fork, Hermiston, Oregon; Santa Barbara, Calif; Canby, Oregon and San Juan Capistrano, Calif; to name a few.
"I have friends and acquaintances from everywhere I go. Some of the people, I've made business deals with for our cattle business. I've learned a lot traveling to many different places. One of my friends from Prescott when we were down there has an 80,000 acre ranch and he took us on a tour through it. We judged the college finals together. From these ranch tours and seeing how they operate, I have been able to incorporate ideas from that into my business.
"We do associate with the cowboys, but we can't be buddies with them. We talk to them and we're approachable, but it's a business, rodeo and judging.
"It's fun to have a chance to come back to Emery County and visit my parents and family. I get back here once or twice a year. California is home now. But, it's more laid back here and I like that. Our ranch is on the edge of town in Clovis. It's seven miles to the center of town from the ranch. Our ranch is 3,600 acres and we sell off the calves each year. We breed the cows so we buy a few bulls each year. I've found a ranch in Oregon where we've purchased the bulls the last nine years. The genetics of the bulls have improved and we've had good luck with them. We sell our cows on the internet. We have a website. Some feedlots in Nebraska have been buying our cows. Our cows are a cross between Gelvey and Angus. About two thirds of them are black and the rest red. Approximately 99 percent of the calves we are getting are black.
"I like the challenge of rodeo judging. Every place you go is a different challenge. The places and the people are great. I really like everything about it. I enjoy it. I might get tired of the travel. But you can pick which rodeos you want to judge. The pay is adequate. It's a great part-time job to supplement the income. Since it's part time and flexible, I can come and go as I am needed on the ranch. The end of August is calving season, so I won't judge then or only judge close to home. There are many major rodeos in California. I set up the shipping of our cows between rodeos.
"My wife goes with me to some of the close rodeos. Every now and then the boys come along, but someone has to be home to do the chores.
"At first I really missed bull riding. I love the bull riding. The cowboys now are riding for more money and there are better stock contractors out there than there were when I was riding. Everything has improved. The stock's better, the breeding better and the talent level of the riders has gotten better.
"As a judge I've been run over and had some close calls, but I try to get out of the way. My younger son is interested in competing and getting into the roping events," said Behling.
Behling judged the three nights of rodeo at the Desertview Pro Rodeo in Castle Dale and has now hit the road for the next rodeo at the end of the trail.

|In response to Re: threading galvanized pipe
I thought of that, but then discounted it since it is a rental unit and it was unlikely to have been modified for close quarter threading.
: There is a 4th possibility. The opening in the thread cutting die is larger on one side of the die than the other so you can get the pipe "started". In many ratchet threading devices, it is possible to insert the die into the ratchet assembly backwards. Make sure the side of the die that you are presenting to the pipe you wish to thread has the larger opening.
: : Three possibilities. First it caught once and "stripped" so you already have a beveled end that needs more pressure to get the die to catch. Second, it was cut with something that left a burr and you also have to push harder to get the die to mill it off. Third, you just have to push harder to make it catch.
: : : We have rented a hand held ratchet type pipe threader and want to put a thread on the cut end of a 1/2 inch galvanized pipe that is still part of the supply system (still attached) why can't we get the threader to "catch" and start to thread the pipe? Thanks!
