'Shake His Finger In
The Presence Of God'
(and catcheth flack
from servant of same)
Don L. Wood
Introduction: Cliff Walker used the database of a popular online to search for atheists, and found several hundred member profiles which contained either the word atheist or the word atheism. The goal was to alert atheists to our web Page.
Cliff's orignal spam:
I am writing to tell you about our exciting new Athieist / Separationist WEB Page.
I got your [e-mail address] by entering "atheist" or "atheism" in the [online service's member profile search engine]. I tried to weed out the many who made cracks about atheists in foxholes or atheists in falling aircraft; if you are one of those, I accidentally left your name on the list and I profusely apologize for the inconvenience.
We will be posting an extensive collection of pieces about Gora, Lavanam, and Atheism in India. I am having their "souvenier" book scanned, and am typesetting two of Lavanam's booklets: one, an autobiography; the other, two pieces about Mahatma Gandhi final days as a secularist. Also in the works are two of Gora's full-length books: "We Became Atheists" (completed) and "An Atheist with Gandhi" which inspired Martin Luther King, Jr. Atheists in America and Europe do well to look toward India for inspiration and leadership.
The Historial Writings index is growing by leaps and bounds, and the News section is constantly updated with stuff from various sources, including American Atheists.
Separationists: check out "Cliff Walker's 'Recovery Watch'" page which exposes the rampant abuses of religious freedom in the addiction treatment industry, the criminal justice system, and the recovery group movement (Alcoholics Anonymous, ad naus). You may like out "DARWIN Frog" pitch; our "Money Stamp" bit is rapidly gaining momentum as well.
Links for these items and much more are listed in our Main Index.
Thanks, and have a nice day!
Cliff Walker
Mr. Wood responds to the spam:
Dear Mr. Walker:
You found my name under "atheist" because under my profile I have a statement that reads "most people think atheists and theists have one thing in common. Neither one of them can prove their position. Wrong! A theist can!"
You see by using the Baconian Scientific Method (hopefully you studied about Francis Bacon of the 17th Century who is the father of modern science) one can pretty easily come to the knowledge that there is a God and that He can be known.
If you're interested in this write me again. If you are already convinced and don't want to be confused by objective facts, then don't bother me and take me off your mailing list.
Thank you.
Don L. Wood
Cliff's reply:
"If you're interested in this write me again. If you are already convinced and don't want to be confused by objective facts, then don't bother me and take me off your mailing list."
You presuppose several things -- including that I have a mailing list. I don't. This was a one-shot deal and the file with the names was emptied from the Windows 95 "Recycle Bin" before I went to bed that night. All I have now are replies unless I decide to do another tedious, hand-typed word-search on [the online service] in the future.
You can send me whatever proof you have of the existence of this "God" fellow which you and your associate, Mr. Bacon, insist can be proven. I'd like to take a look at it.
Cliff Walker
Mr. Wood offers his proof:
You can send me whatever proof you have of the existence of this "God" fellow which you and your associate, Mr. Bacon, insist can be proven. I'd like to take a look at it.
In my profile on [the OnLine service] I said something like "most people think the atheist and the theist have one thing in common. Neither can prove their position. Wrong! A theist can!"
That's true. A genuine theist can, and I mean by means no thinking person can deny. The "Mr. Bacon" I refer to is the "father of modern science." In fact there is no science today which has not benefited from his inductive reasoning process. No truth can escape the process, and of course it was around long before he identified it. He lived in the early 17th Century.
Now, in my 53 years I have found with very rare exception that atheists work so hard convincing themelves of their views that it becomes their religion! (Look the word "religion" up in a dictionary.) Sadly, it is the most illogical position one can claim, because no one can prove that there is no God whereas, as I have said, a genuine theist can prove God! In other words, I usually have very little difficulty getting an "atheist" to admit his grossly illogical stand, but with a quick adoption of the logical agnostic's stance he usually exhibits an attitude of "okay, I don't know whether there's a God because I cannot prove it, but I don't give a damn either. Don't bother me!"
Interestingly, this is the same individual who hates those that claim he is going to hell for disbelief. Why? I don't know any reason other than the one I offered: He is so driven by his atheistic religion that he is compelled to dogmatism no differently than the obviously pagan or supersticious fanatic. He believes it so passionately that no manner of logic (truth) can persuade him of his stupidity. (Please don't confuse me with the facts.)
Okay, that's harsh, but that's also the reality of it. If you're serious you would have to admit the irrationality of an atheists view, but I can only continue (with my very limited time) to continue with some one who is seriously in search of truth and not so passionate as to get to the "deep water" of truth and suddenly make for the deck saying "I don't want to discuss it any more." That's the same as "don't bother me!"
It might be bothersome to hear that a dam broke and that the valley is flooding, and that life can only be saved by seeking high ground, but if it is true one would be rotten to the core if he did not sound the alarm.
Remember this, my friend: (by the way, I've read the atheist's bible) the same Bible that warns of hell promises a heaven. If you are so sure there is no God then you should have no problem with those who believe in heaven. It is beyond ignorance -- to be blunt -- it is stupid to put off weighing the matter of an eternity with or without God when the question is really so obvious.
Serious enquiry would have to start at the beginning. Like any structure of belief, atheism not excluded, the foundation or the presupposition is where you find error. Inductive reasoning cannot exclude God, and the evidence to support His existence is so over whelming it is stupid or dogmatism or mysticism at its height not to admit it. Would one shake his finger in the presence of God and say "you do not exist!"
Don L. Wood
Cliff's response:
Er, where's the beef -- proof?
I don't see any case here, only jumping up and down and veiled threats of hellfire.
And when did I ever state that I know there are no gods? (One cannot prove a negative existential claim.) My position has always been that I have yet to hear a claim for the existence of a god that holds water with me. This is why I asked you to send me your much-touted proof -- which, I guess, turns out to be a lot of hot air!

Sustainability Sustainability Initiatives
The Division of Housing and Food Service Bleeds Orange but Thinks Green! We are committed to reducing our footprint and helping the environment by supporting eco-friendly initiatives at all DHFS locations on campus. See the PDF version of our Initiatives.
View our Recycling with DHFS infosheet
Click on the images below for more information on our green initiatives:
Recycling and Resource Conservation
DHFS strives to first reduce the resources we use, encourage the reuse of materials and recycle as much as possible. Student residents have access to in-room recycling and staff are provided with office and break room recycling. Materials are diverted from all DHFS dining locations through recycling and composting.
Sustainable Food Service
All DHFS kitchens and dining facilities are recycling and composting as well as increasing the amount of local and sustainably produced foods in the dining facilities. A small amount of food is also produced on campus and the Kinsolving Courtyard and Concho Community Gardens.
Sustainable Living Environments
Indoor air quality, efficiency, material sourcing, natural lighting and recycled content are a few of the many factors considered for renovations, construction, and procedural changes.
Education, Outreach and Policy
As part of an institution of higher learning, DHFS strives to provide our residents with a living and learning environment. Sustainability events and outreach campaigns help to educate the students about the sustainability initiatives undertaken at DHFS and to provide them with the tools to make sustainable living choices after they leave the residence halls.
DHFS strives to be a sustainable organization and has been recognized by various local and national organizations.
Recycling and Resource Conservation
- Cardboard, paper, aluminum, steel and plastic are recycled in all DHFS residence halls, offices, and kitchens.
- Appliances from the graduate apartments are salvaged.
- All register tape used in our retail locations is made of 100% recycled paper.
- Packaging waste is decreased through bulk purchasing of dish machine chemicals and other items.
- All tree limbs at the University apartments are diverted from the landfill by chipping them into mulch that is used in landscape areas.
- All carpet in DHFS facilities is recycled as it is replaced and contains recycled content. Carpet tiles are used to allow for decreased waste when renovations are needed. From 2006 through 2010, we have purchased 14,655 square yards of climate neutral Cool Carpet from InterfaceFLOR, saving the equivalent of 238 tons of greenhouse gas emissions.
- When replaced, old computer equipment is recycled, sold or donated to schools.
- The Campus Environmental Center (CEC) and other local charities collect used, unwanted items from students during move out. They are then donated or sold in a garage sale that supports the CEC.
- E-waste recycling is available at many of the residence halls' main desks.
- Our recruitment brochures are printed on Reincarnation Matte paper (FSC), made with 100% recycled fiber and 60% post-consumer waste, processed chlorine free, designated Ancient Forest Friendly and manufactured with electricity that is offset with Green-eR certified renewable energy certificates.
- Refrigeration compressor racks are being installed in all dining locations to consolidate the compressors for all refrigeration units into one unit which will decrease the air conditioning need to offset the heat generated from the compressors. These refrigeration units will now cool from the chilled water running through our buildings for air conditioning and will significantly reduce the energy usage in these dining areas.
- New dish machines in Jester and Kinsolving are Energy Star rated and also use significantly less water than the previous machines.
- When able, office printers are set for double-sided printing.
- All residents in Fall 2011 have been given a reusable bottle for discounted soda and tea refills in our retail dining locations.
- DHFS Administrative office has significantly reduced paper usage by changing housing reservations, billing, newsletters and report generation to electronic forms. All together, these changes save an estimated 300,000 sheets of paper per year.
- Printed key cards were eliminated in lieu of an on-line system. Saves printing approximately 8000 key cards on heavy stock paper annually.
- DHFS participated in a university-wide lighting retrofit to T12 fluorescent bulbs.
- Instant hot water generators have been installed in Moore Hill, Blanton, Prather, and Kinsolving residence halls. Energy is saved by not having to keep the water in the storage tanks hot.
- Vending machines use 50% less electricity than typical machines by changing the type of compressor and turning off the lights in the machine. li>
- Energy conserving occupancy sensor light switches are installed in residence hall and office common areas.

- Rain Sensors on irrigation controllers turn off the watering programs after a rain.
- Renovated landscapes at many residence halls utilize low water use plant materials and also control erosion and water runoff.
- Energy Star rated TVs have been purchased for some residence halls, saving 44% of the energy used in a comparable TV.
- All campus laundry machines have been upgraded to Energy Star, front loading, water conserving models. The washing machines use less water and also spin out more water so the dryers use less energy to dry clothes, saving an estimated 42% total energy use over older models. DHFS received a $45,000 rebate from the City of Austin for installing these energy and water efficient appliances and an ICI Water Efficiency Achievement (WEA) Award.
- All residence hall MicroFridges are now Energy Star rated models, saving an estimated $5,000 per month in electricity use.

John Legend's "All of Me" tour rolled into Raleigh's Red Hat Amphitheater Wednesday night, giving the crowd their money's worth.
Billed as intimate, raw, and unplugged, Billboard Magazine called it one of the "best concerts of the year."
Legend even says on his website, "The 'All Of Me Tour' will be unlike any tour I've done before."
The concert started out slowly, with an orchestral accompaniment, but soon gathered steam. Legend admitted to having a career that did not start the way he had originally wanted, but said he's ended up exactly where he dreamed he'd be.
He quipped, "You know Lauryn Hill?" Then he'd play a piano solo. "Yep. That was me."
He continued with piano pieces from collaborations with Alicia Keys, Kanye West, and others. "Yep, that was me, too."
According to Red Hat Amphitheater's website, Ohio born John Legend (whose real name is John Roger Stephens) is a critically acclaimed, multi-award winning, platinum-selling singer-songwriter. He's sold an impressive seven million albums worldwide. His work has garnered him nine Grammy Awards, three Soul Train Awards, the BET Award for Best New Artist and the special Starlight Award from the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
Some of the music from the "All of Me" concert features material from Legend's new album, Love in the Future, which recently claimed the #1 spot on Billboard's Hot 100 Singles Chart. The single "All of Me" marks Legend's highest selling and charting single of his career to date, with sales over 3 million in the US.

Former "Teen Mom" star Adam Lind was arrested this week on charges of violating his drug and alcohol test program requirements. The ex-boyfriend of Chelsea Houska from "Teen Mom Season 2," Lind has a known history of getting in trouble with the law. Now, confirms the Daily Mail via Radar Online this Monday, June 30, 2014, he has been put behind bars again and will be missing valuable reunion time with his daughter, Aubree.
Chelsea Houska gained considerable fame from her time on "Teen Mom," but it's her past boyfriend — Adam Lind, who has apparently gained some muscle and some more tattoos over the years — who's making pop culture headlines today. The 23-year-old star and dad of 4-year-old Aubree was reportedly placed under arrest and taken into police custody this Friday night.
According to the crime report, Lind is charged with violating his test program, which is a daily drug and alcohol procedure conducted to make sure the teen dad isn't drinking or doing drugs. The young man has been charged in the past of more than one DUI (driving under the influence) accusations, which eventually led to the daily testing requirement. Hopefully, this latest stint will serve as a wake-up call for the young father to finally get his act together.
As a result, notes In Touch Weekly News, the "Teen Mom" star has been placed behind bars throughout the weekend. He remained in Minnehaha County Jail in South Dakota without an opportunity for bail until this Monday afternoon. A spokesman for the local jail has said Adam would not have an opportunity to be released until 2 pm today. The reason for the arrest is either a failure of the test or never showing up for his daily testing procedure.
"He either didn't show up for testing or tested positive for alcohol," added the police official.
Sadly for the former "Teen Mom 2" star and his relationship with his daughter, Aubree, the 23-year-old's time behind bars has resulted him missing a weekend with his child. This particular weekend was his sole time per month allotted for Aubree to spend time with her dad.
"The saddest part is [the time of his arrest] was his one weekend per month with Aubree, so now she won't get to see him,' shared a source.
Adam Lind has also been placed under arrest for DUI charges and most recently this May for operating a motor vehicle while having a license that had been revoked. He currently faces several misdemeanor charges; the statement concludes that since 2009 alone, Lind has been accused of numerous license-related criminal charges, including driving without a license no less than eight times. It is unknown whether his violation of his drug and alcohol testing program may result in more stringent charges or heightened drinking testing requirements.

Original post by Alexis Lawrence of Demand Media
No matter which state you live in, you are subject to capital gains taxes on profits made on any property bought mainly for the purpose of investment, including stocks or real estate. The amount of federal capital gains taxes does not vary from state to state, though some states have state capital gains taxes as well. The rules on property sale capital gains in Texas mirror those of many other states.
Real Estate Gains
When you sell a property in Texas, the profits, or capital gains, on that property equal the selling price of the property minus the original price that you paid for the property. If you buy a house for $100,000, for example, and sell the house for $150,000, you must declare the $50,000 difference as a capital gain for taxation. You can also, however, subtract any fees associated with selling the property, such as real estate agent fees, from the total profit. So, if you paid $10,000 to a realtor, you pay tax on only $40,000.
When it comes to determining the profit on a property, you don't always use the purchase price of the property as the profit basis. If you inherited the property in Texas, the base price of the property changes upon the death of the property's original owner. The value of the house defaults to fair market value, as determined by an appraisal, at the time that you take possession of the house. When you figure the profits on the house, use this appraised value to determine the profits, instead of the original purchase price of the house.
Capital Taxes
As in any state, the amount of capital gains tax that you pay in Texas equals a percentage of the total profits made on the sale of the property. This percentage maxes out at 15 percent on the federal level, and depends upon state tax rates on the state level. Since Texas has no state income tax, or property gains tax, the sale of a property in Texas carries no additional tax burden over the federal capital gains.
Tax Return
The sale of a property in Texas, as in any other state, must be declared on the IRS' yearly federal tax return. Capital gains are reported in the "Income" section of the tax return as a separate line item, which remains separate from the taxpayer's earned income for the year. No matter how much earned income you make during the tax year, and what tax bracket you fall into as far as earned income, you will never pay more than the 15 percent maximum rate on capital gains.

College Hockey:This Week in the ECAC West
Searching for an Identity
Elmira has arguably faced one of the most difficult schedules to open the season. The Soaring Eagles hosted Oswego three weeks ago and then hit the road for a game at Plattsburgh and a rematch in the Lakers barn. The stretch started off well with a 3-2 win over the Lakers, but Elmira came up on the short end of the games at Plattsburgh and Oswego.
I thought Plattsburgh was going to be the No. 1 team in the country, said Elmira coach Tim Celgarski. They didnt graduate a lot from their team and they were as good as I expected them to be.
The game at Plattsburgh also opened up the newly renovated Stafford Arena, and the pumped up Cardinals jumped all over Elmira from the opening face-off. Plattsburgh scored a controversial goal just nine seconds into the game and then added a second tally at 3:29 to put Elmira deep in a hole that it couldnt dig out of.
I thought the first goal was a high sticking goal, said Ceglarski. But their energy level and their skating is amazing, especially in their own building. They just had two new faces in the lineup that we faced in the semi-final game and we had nine. They are a very good hockey team.
Elmira played well in the pair of games against Oswego, at least for the first five periods. But the Lakers took advantage of the Soaring Eagles in the third period of their game this past weekend, outscoring Elmira 4-2 in that stanza to win the game 6-4.
The first game at our place was back and forth, pretty intense and pretty physical, said Ceglarski. The same for two periods anyway this past weekend. I thought it was a really good game for 40 minutes. They outplayed us pretty badly in the third period and I was a little disappointed in our guys. To get a split with Oswego this early in the year, against a team that is going to be ranked pretty highly in the nation, and doing so with a young group of guys, Ill take the split anytime.
Elmira has been dressing seven or more freshmen in each of its games so far this season and the youngsters have been answering the call. Rookies have chipped in over a third of the goals for the Soaring Eagles.
The freshmen are playing well, said Ceglarski. We really need some of our veteran guys to step up and start playing better. One of the reasons we brought the freshmen in was to chip in on the offensive end and were excited that they are doing that early.
Besides a productive freshmen class, what has the Elmira coaching staff learned about the team now that they are four games into the season?
Not a whole hell of a lot, to be honest, said Ceglarski. We talked about it Saturday night when we got back and again this week with the captains. We are waiting for this team to take on its own identity. Three years ago when we went to the final four, it was the never say die kids, winning games late. That team just never gave up and were never counted out. Last years team was a great start, great defense, and could win any game that we played.
To be successful, teams often need more than just a sniper or a hot goalie. Many times it is chemistry, character, or some other special factor to define the team and provide that magic ingredient.
How will this years Soaring Eagle team start to define itself?
This year, were not so sure what thats going to be yet, said Ceglarski. We need to find our own identity and realize that we are not the same team we were last year. We are faster than we were last year but we have a lot of guys that havent faced much adversity. The sophomores this year started off 17-0-2 last season and havent lost two games in a row ever. The new guys dont really know what to expect. It is kind of a question mark now that needs to get ironed out before league play starts.
Hump Day Hockey
Utica and Lebanon Valley wrapped up an unusual pair of Wednesday games this week. The Pioneers traveled down to the Giant Center in Hershey on October 29 and put a pasting on the Flying Dutchmen. Utica ripped off five goals in the first period, and went 5 for 10 on the power play to cruise to a 11-1 victory that didnt quite follow the history of close games between these two teams.
We did a history of our games down there and youre looking at a lot of 2-1 or 3-1 wins for us, said Utica coach Gary Heenan. It has always been a tough place to play with a big building and nobody there. We go down and back on game day. Its tough getting up for classes on Thursday.
Utica repeated the same trip on Wednesday this week, playing this time at Lebanon Valleys home rink of Hersheypark Arena. The odd schedule is made possible by Uticas academic schedule as classes on Wednesday end at noon.
If we are going to play a mid-week game, wed rather do it on Wednesday so the guys dont miss classes, said Heenan. Lebanon Valley agreed to that.
Despite the number of goals that Utica racked up against the Flying Dutchmen, the Pioneers are seeing improvements in Lebanon Valley.
{Lebanon Valley is} a young team that is full of energy and believing in themselves, said Heenan. I think Teddy (Lebanon Valley coach Ted Russell) has some new ideas and systems and has a more disciplined team this year in terms of systems.
Game of the Week
Hobart and Elmira games tend to be some of the most entertaining hockey in the ECAC West. Both teams like to play an up-tempo style in games that are always competitive.
Last season, the teams split four meetings, with each getting a win in one game and the other two games ending in ties. Elmira got the last laugh, however, by defeating the Statesmen, 6-3, in the league playoffs.
Mark Taylor does a great job with his team and they love playing for him, said Ceglarski. We play very similar styles in that we like to move the puck. Its always exciting to play Hobart.
Both teams are coming off a quartet of non-conference games against SUNYAC and starting their league schedule this Friday. Elmira has played the more difficult schedule but Hobart has had more success so far. Watch on Friday to see whether preparation through trial by fire or confidence will win out.

A Charlotte mom's 'Fire Challenge' arrest has outraged many parents because police say the mom allowed her son to drench his body with fingernail polish then set himself on fire. The act was done as part of a challenge to gain popularity on social networks, police said. According to a report from The Charlotte Observer on Aug. 11, the irresponsible mom was arrested and charged with contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile.
Janie Lachelle Talley, 41, watched her 16-year-old son as he prepared to make a 'Fire Challenge' video to post on Facebook on July 29, said the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department on Monday.
"The mother of the victim was present and aware of what her son was doing and facilitated the recording," police said in a statement.
An investigation by the Social Services and detectives of Youth Crimes determined that Talley was fully aware of the incident and even assisted in the recording. As a result of the act, the teenager suffered minor burns to his chest and neck.
To those unfamiliar as to what exactly the 'Fire Challenge' entails, The New York Daily News sums it up with the following statement: "The point of the challenge is to spray a small amount of flammable liquid like alcohol or perfume on an area of the body and light it on fire for a few moments."
The 'Fire Challenge' has quickly spread on social media media networks. However, Public health and law enforcement agencies across the nation strongly warn against it, saying it has severely burned several teens across the U.S.

Proof That Cats are Ninjas -- The Animal Video of the Day!!!

Deep down inside, anyone that is a cat owner knows that they have the souls of ninjas. Hell, my cat tries to kill me on a daily basis. Just this morning Buster launched across the bed and landed full-force on my stomach. At roughly 25 pounds, it felt like a massive punch to the belly. That's a harsh way to wake up. But at least he doesn't have a sword like a few in this video posted by Human0907 on January 12, 2011:

The Architectural League of New York has just released their 8th pamphlet in their ongoing Situated Technologies series.

"In Situated Technologies Pamphlets 8, Christian Nold and Rob van Kranenburg articulate the foundations of a future manifesto for an Internet of Things in the public interest. Nold and Kranenburg propose tangible design interventions that challenge an internet dominated by commercial tools and systems, emphasizing that people from all walks of life have to be at the table when we talk about alternate possibilities for ubiquitous computing. Through horizontally scaling grass roots efforts along with establishing social standards for governments and companies to allow cooperation, Nold and Kranenberg argue for transforming the Internet of Things into an Internet of People"
This is a well timed book that initiates a public debate about an Internet of Things
in the public interest moving forward and should be in your reading list.

"We kept saying, "Why doesn't Madison have this?!" "Madison NEEDS this!!!" as we scribbled down every detail of our menu: small, simple and everything breakfast."
This is happening during our epiphany at a no-name restaurant off the beaten cobblestone streets of Antigua, Guatemala in the summer of 2010. We shared an oversized cushion on a bench of a dark hookah bar, eating and drinking things we couldn't pronounce. We willingly wasted 50 or so napkins as we scribbled down ideas that little did we know, would lead us to where we stand today; opening our first restaurant. We kept saying, "Why doesn't Madison have this?!" "Madison NEEDS this!!!" as we scribbled down every detail of our menu: small, simple and everything breakfast. Over the next three and a half years, we have gone through every detail. We wanted to give you guys the perfect breakfast anytime, day or night. We hope you like it.

A friend told me how much he had spent on himself in topshop on some nice jeans and a leather jacket, around £300 in total, so I replied "oh i wouldn't spend that on clothes, imagine how many rugs i could buy"
he turned to me with a very serious face and said "you collect rugs?" he thought i meant rugs for the floor!!
also one years ago from another male (typical!) when talking about a horses feathers, he piped up "i thought horses had fur, not feathers?"

------ End Quote ------
I've heard the exact same thing!! Then the person was horrified when I informed him that "no, the dentist uses a file, and some use power tools with a file on the end"
But to be honest, before I was properly horsey, I was also horrified at that prospect. Now I've seen it done I understand!

To combat water shortages, many cities are creating and expanding programs that give residents and businesses rebates or utility-bill credits for conserving water.
Today, GIS and SCADA have been so thoroughly built in to functions from environmental and construction permitting to billing and customer service that public works managers may not remember how their agencies functioned without them.
Despite the fact that Florida is surrounded by water, an increasing demand for a fresh water supply—especially for irrigation purposes—is a challenge many municipal officials in the state continually face.
While the city of Santa Rosa, Calif., needed to reduce the discharge from its water treatment plant into the Russian River, Calpine Geothermal needed water to replenish the aquifer feeding its geothermal steam fields.

After announcing MTV would be canceling "Teen Mom 2" last week, there are talks of reviving "Teen Mom." The network aired updated stories of the moms and the response was very positive. While this is just in the beginning stages of talks, there are some very real concerns from some of the moms. According to a March 19 report from US Weekly, Catelynn Lowell and Amber Portwood want Farrah Abraham fired from the show. The claims are being made because they don't want their children around someone who does porn or sells sex-toys. Fans are a little confused about the claims, especially coming from Portwood.
Fans of "Teen Mom" know that Catelynn Lowell and her boyfriend Tyler gave up their daughter for adoption. It is a story many can identify with, leading to Lowell being one of the more popular stars of the show. Amber Portwood has had some rough times since beginning the show. She was arrested and sent to a rehab facility, leaving her daughter with her ex-boyfriend. These are the same young ladies who are making demands from MTV about not filming unless Farrah Abraham gets the boot. Hypocritical? Maybe, but they are still mothers looking out for their children.
There is no further information regarding a possible reboot of "Teen Mom," just the reports of the stars being unhappy. If MTV does decide to side with Amber Portwood and Catelynn Lowell, Farrah Abraham wouldn't be terribly upset. She has been keeping herself busy since the show and probably will continue to do so.

Depending on which test I take I get either INFP or ISFP. on the Jung Typology Test I scored low on the S part.
I was wondering, could I be 50/50 NS? and how would it effect my personality results?

Depending on which test I take I get either INFP or ISFP. on the Jung Typology Test I scored low on the S part.
I was wondering, could I be 50/50 NS? and how would it effect my personality results?
You could be an IxFP, yes. This, however, is unlikely, once you consider functions.
Have you explored functions in any form? If so, do you feel you use Ne and Se equally?
I think I am a bit of both.
I like what is fact, I like step by step instruction, I have plenty of common sense, I follow my experience, but I am also a big day dreamer, I am hard to understand, I like to think of different possibilities
I'm afraid to say those aren't really indicators of ISFP versus INFP. Unfortunately, the base of the MBTI (N v. S, J v. P, I v. E, and T v. F) leads people to believe that they could just switch to ISFP over INFP at the drop of a hat, or that they can truly be a perfect middle on one scale. I'm very imaginative and can lose myself in my imagination for days, but I also like instructions, I value concrete information, and I never go with my gut without consulting the facts first. I believe, however, that I am an INTJ because of my functions.
What about the ISFP description don't you fit? What about the INFP? Don't mind the 'abstract vs. concrete' idea of S v. N. That's not what it's about.
Green is what is me, and red isn't
As an ISFP, your primary mode of living is focused internally, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit into your value system. Your secondary mode is external, where you take things in via your five sense in a literal, concrete fashion.
ISFPs live in the world of sensation possibilities. They are keenly in tune with the way things look, taste, sound, feel and smell. They have a strong aesthetic appreciation for art, and are likely to be artists in some form, because they are unusually gifted at creating and composing things which will strongly affect the senses. They have a strong set of values, which they strive to consistently meet in their lives. They need to feel as if they're living their lives in accordance with what they feel is right, and will rebel against anything which conflicts with that goal. They're likely to choose jobs and careers which allow them the freedom of working towards the realization of their value-oriented personal goals.
ISFPs tend to be quiet and reserved, and difficult to get to know well. They hold back their ideas and opinions except from those who they are closest to. They are likely to be kind, gentle and sensitive in their dealings with others. They are interested in contributing to people's sense of well-being and happiness, and will put a great deal of effort and energy into tasks which they believe in.
ISFPs have a strong affinity for aesthetics and beauty. They're likely to be animal lovers, and to have a true appreciation for the beauties of nature. They're original and independent, and need to have personal space. They value people who take the time to understand the ISFP, and who support the ISFP in pursuing their goals in their own, unique way. People who don't know them well may see their unique way of life as a sign of carefree light-heartedness, but the ISFP actually takes life very seriously, constantly gathering specific information and shifting it through their value systems, in search for clarification and underlying meaning.
ISFPs are action-oriented individuals. They are "doers", and are usually uncomfortable with theorizing concepts and ideas, unless they see a practical application. They learn best in a "hands-on" environment, and consequently may become easily bored with the traditional teaching methods, which emphasize abstract thinking. They do not like impersonal analysis, and are uncomfortable with the idea of making decisions based strictly on logic. Their strong value systems demand that decisions are evaluated against their subjective beliefs, rather than against some objective rules or laws.
ISFPs are extremely perceptive and aware of others. They constantly gather specific information about people, and seek to discover what it means. They are usually penetratingly accurate in their perceptions of others.
ISFPs are warm and sympathetic. They genuinely care about people, and are strongly service-oriented in their desire to please. They have an unusually deep well of caring for those who are close to them, and are likely to show their love through actions, rather than words.
ISFPs have no desire to lead or control others, just as they have no desire to be led or controlled by others. They need space and time alone to evaluate the circumstances of their life against their value system, and are likely to respect other people's needs for the same.
The ISFP is likely to not give themself enough credit for the things which they do extremely well. Their strong value systems can lead them to be intensely perfectionist, and cause them to judge themselves with unneccesary harshness.
The ISFP has many special gifts for the world, especially in the areas of creating artistic sensation, and selflessly serving others. Life is not likely to be extremely easy for the ISFP, because they take life so seriously, but they have the tools to make their lives and the lives of those close to them richly rewarding experiences.
As an INFP, your primary mode of living is focused internally, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit into your personal value system. Your secondary mode is external, where you take things in primarily via your intuition.
INFPs, more than other iNtuitive Feeling types, are focused on making the world a better place for people. Their primary goal is to find out their meaning in life. What is their purpose? How can they best serve humanity in their lives? They are idealists and perfectionists, who drive themselves hard in their quest for achieving the goals they have identified for themselves
INFPs are highly intuitive about people. They rely heavily on their intuitions to guide them, and use their discoveries to constantly search for value in life. They are on a continuous mission to find the truth and meaning underlying things. Every encounter and every piece of knowledge gained gets sifted through the INFP's value system, and is evaluated to see if it has any potential to help the INFP define or refine their own path in life. The goal at the end of the path is always the same - the INFP is driven to help people and make the world a better place.
Generally thoughtful and considerate, INFPs are good listeners and put people at ease. Although they may be reserved in expressing emotion, they have a very deep well of caring and are genuinely interested in understanding people. This sincerity is sensed by others, making the INFP a valued friend and confidante. An INFP can be quite warm with people he or she knows well.
INFPs do not like conflict, and go to great lengths to avoid it. If they must face it, they will always approach it from the perspective of their feelings. In conflict situations, INFPs place little importance on who is right and who is wrong. They focus on the way that the conflict makes them feel, and indeed don't really care whether or not they're right. They don't want to feel badly. This trait sometimes makes them appear irrational and illogical in conflict situations. On the other hand, INFPs make very good mediators, and are typically good at solving other people's conflicts, because they intuitively understand people's perspectives and feelings, and genuinely want to help them.
INFPs are flexible and laid-back, until one of their values is violated. In the face of their value system being threatened, INFPs can become aggressive defenders, fighting passionately for their cause. When an INFP has adopted a project or job which they're interested in, it usually becomes a "cause" for them. Although they are not detail-oriented individuals, they will cover every possible detail with determination and vigor when working for their "cause".
When it comes to the mundane details of life maintenance, INFPs are typically completely unaware of such things. They might go for long periods without noticing a stain on the carpet, but carefully and meticulously brush a speck of dust off of their project booklet.
INFPs do not like to deal with hard facts and logic. Their focus on their feelings and the Human Condition makes it difficult for them to deal with impersonal judgment. They don't understand or believe in the validity of impersonal judgment, which makes them naturally rather ineffective at using it. Most INFPs will avoid impersonal analysis, although some have developed this ability and are able to be quite logical. Under stress, it's not uncommon for INFPs to mis-use hard logic in the heat of anger, throwing out fact after (often inaccurate) fact in an emotional outburst.
INFPs have very high standards and are perfectionists. Consequently, they are usually hard on themselves, and don't give themselves enough credit. INFPs may have problems working on a project in a group, because their standards are likely to be higher than other members' of the group. In group situations, they may have a "control" problem. The INFP needs to work on balancing their high ideals with the requirements of every day living. Without resolving this conflict, they will never be happy with themselves, and they may become confused and paralyzed about what to do with their lives.
INFPs are usually talented writers. They may be awkard and uncomfortable with expressing themselves verbally, but have a wonderful ability to define and express what they're feeling on paper. INFPs also appear frequently in social service professions, such as counselling or teaching. They are at their best in situations where they're working towards the public good, and in which they don't need to use hard logic.
INFPs who function in their well-developed sides can accomplish great and wonderful things, which they will rarely give themselves credit for. Some of the great, humanistic catalysts in the world have been INFPs.
I don't think there is enough information on those 2 profiles to make a proper decision.
I am slow to anger, which isn't N, and I daydream, which is N.
Looking at those links, I feel I am more of a Se than a Ne
Well, you're not specifically a 'Se' or 'Ne' -- those are functions. Why do you feel you relate to Se more?
The part I need concrete facts. I looked at the Ni and Si too.

The Custodian of the two Holy Mosques King Fahd Bin Abdul Aziz last night patronized the inaugural ceremony for the project of linking Saudi hospitals with specialized university medical centers in the United States by means of satellites available round the clock. This project is part of the plan to provide state-of-the-art communications to enhance medical and educational services introduced in line with King Fahd's directives, and will enable doctors working in the Kingdom's hospitals to make direct contact with a number of American centers such as the Texas Children's Hospital, and the medical centers at George Washington, Yale and Virginia Universities.
After being briefed on the project by a number of experts and consultants, King Fahd stated: "I would like to express my heartfelt congratulations to our friends in the United States and to our sons in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia". He also expressed appreciation for the efforts exerted by Prince Bandar Bin Sultan Bin Abdul Aziz, the Kingdom's Ambassador to the United States, in the execution of this tremendous project. Referring to Saudi-American relations, King Fahd said they had been established in the era of King Abdul Aziz, the founder of the Kingdom, and President of the United States Franklin D. Roosevelt, and added: "Since then Saudi-American relations have been the same; they never change, and circumstances and events never alter them".
Through the satellite network link-up, King Fahd was able to watch as a case diagnosed for a patient at King Faisal Specialist Hospital in Riyadh was followed up by a medical center in the United States. He also watched open-heart surgery at that hospital conducted by Dr. Zuheir Al-Hileis, head of cardiology there. King Fahd praised the role being played by King Faisal Specialist Hospital in the service of the people.
Prince Bandar Bin Sultan Bin Abdul Aziz, the Kingdom's Ambassador to the United States and supervisor of the program for cooperation between King Faisal Specialist Hospital and the American universities, underscored the importance of the project and said the idea for it was initiated by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Fahd Bin Abdul Aziz about two and a half years ago. One year later, work on the project was started in collaboration with five universities in the United States.
Through this program it will be possible for Saudi citizens to have a medical check-up in Riyadh and the follow-up by specialists in the USA, which, Prince Bandar said: "will save a lot of effort and expenditure". Last year, US$ 60 million were spent on sending patients suffering from liver problems for treatment in the United States, compared to the US$ 9 million that it would cost under this program. Prince Bandar further pointed out that trained Saudi surgeons can now carry out operations inside the Kingdom while collaborating with international medical experts, and remarked that this program puts Saudi Arabia ahead as regards medical services as well as enabling the country to extend the best of services to its citizens.
For his part, Dr. Anwar Jabert, Supervisor-General of the King Faisal Specialist Hospital, said that this program will place his hospital, and others in the Kingdom, on the same level as the most advanced in the world. Thanks to this program, he said, the Saudi citizen will now benefit from the experience of doctors worldwide without leaving his country or his city. At the same time, Dr. Principato, Director of the Saudi-American Medical Cooperation Program, said that the introduction of the project provides clear evidence of the farsightedness of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Fahd Bin Abdul Aziz, saying that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is the first country to introduce such a specialized network for medical services.
