Skill Level Beginner
Now that we've talked about how to target content on the page and how to resolve any conflicts that might arise. I want to move on to focus on the properties that we can set for CSS rules and I want to start by focusing in this chapter on typography. Basic text formatting is a natural place to start when discussing CSS properties, because typography is such an immediate need for beginning web designers. I want to start by going over the syntax for choosing font-families. So I have the font-family.htm file open here and you can find that in 04_01 folder.
Very basic page structure. Again we have our article tag inside the body tag, inside of that we have a headline and just a couple of paragraphs. So what I want to do, is I want to go up to the body rule that's one of the places where we've been sort of setting font-families in the past and you may have remembered doing this in some of previous exercises, I'm just going to create a new property, I'm going to use the font dash family property, font-family and I'm just going to ahead and pass the font name Arial.
So you'll notice we don't need any quotation marks there, the font doesn't need to be capitalizes it is case- sensitive and it must be spelled correctly. So when I save this and if I test it one of my browsers, I can see that I am giving Arial as the font-family. Now, I'm not embedding Arial in the page. What's happening is the web browser is requesting from the client machine the font Arial, its saying hey do you have Arial installed. Well, one of the problems with using these types of system fonts is that we are relying on the client machine.
So in this case if the page we're being previewed on a system that maybe didn't have Arial installed what would happen is the browser would just go ahead and use its default font whatever that might be to display the page. What happens if the default font is a lot different than Arial? What happen if it's Times New Roman or Times? The page is going to look entirely different? So there are few things that we can do when we are defining our font-families the sort of combat this fallback procedure. So I'm going to go back to my code and right after Arial, inside the semicolon, I'm going to type in comma Helvetica. I'll save that and if I preview this in my browser I'll notice no change and I notice no change because we'll Helvetica is installed on the system, but Arial is as well.
So this is what's known as a font stack and you can have as many fonts listed here as you want. What's going to happen is that the browsers is going to request from the client machines this font first, if it finds it, it will display the page using that font. If it's not installed it will fall back to the next font in the stack, so you can just keep adding as many to the stack as you'd like. Usually at the end of the stack you're going to pass a generic font-family that is basically the same as the fonts you're requesting, so at the end of this stack if I type in comma sans-serif, I'm asking for whatever the devices default or generic sans-serif font might be.
So in the case that Arial or Helvetica wasn't installed I would at least get a sans-serif font. In this case if I saved it and tested it, again I'm not going to notice any change, because Arial is already installed. Well let see this fallback actually working. So I'm going to go ahead and remove this font stack and add another one, I'm just going to enter NoFont, Georgia, serif. I'm going to go ahead and save that and if I test this in my browser, I notice I get Georgia, because no font is not a font.
So it was the first font that the browser request for my system, the system said I have no idea what font that is I don't have it, so went ahead and used Georgia instead. Even if you were to have two of them fail on you, so I went NoFont, NotAFont, serif, if I saved this and tested it, notice that I'm not getting Georgia anymore, but I am giving the default serif font. So serif and sans-serif are part of the generic font families all systems have a font that's dedicated to be the generic sans-serif or generic serif font. Let's take a look at what those fonts might be.
Now this fonts are always going to change based on the operating system that you're using, what fonts are installed on the machine, whatever those preferences are. So as you're testing this with me, I would expect that you're going to see different results than I am. So don't be surprised by that. Remember, you're basically getting the default font that set for that sort of generic font-family. Two are the generic font families we've are talked about serif and sans-serif, but there are few more out there that I want to talk about. One is monospace. So if I just do a font stack with nobody else in front of it, I just name the generic font face, if I save this then I get what if the default monospace font might be in this case looks like it is Courier.
I could also request to little- known ones and that is cursive, so if I go ahead and save that and test that in my browser, I get this lovely font here, that's very nice. And we also have in place of cursive, you could use fantasy and it's probably my favorite. Now I'm going to save this and test it, and I get oh, Papyrus, well yes that's the first thing that comes in my mind when I think fantasy. Now if you're using a PC, you might even have in a comic-sans here which is even little bit more ironic.
Let's go back to our font stack and what I want to do now is to do sort of a longer font stack using Georgia. I'm going to type in Georgia, Times, Times New Roman, serif. So you can string as many fonts together as you want, there is no limit to them and typically you want to stick to two or three fonts, four fonts probably at the most. Now there is a little bit of a problem with the syntax that I've written here.
Times New Roman is one single font, but the problem is there are white spaces in its name. Whenever you have a font that has multiple words in its name, it's best to go ahead and pass that in as a literal string. So I'm going to want to go ahead and encase Times New Roman in quotation marks. So if I save this, test in my browser now I'm getting Georgia again, perfect. Now overall other than some of these little things you have to remember like quotation marks around any fonts that has more than one word in it.
The syntax is pretty easy to master it making declaring a font family one of the easier things that you'll ever do in CSS and that's a good thing, because you're going to be doing it a lot. Now if you want to get a little bit more information about system fonts and building really high-quality font stacks, I'm going to recommend a web site to you and that is code styles font stack builder. You can find it here at codestyle.org, you can just search their web site for built better CSS font stack then it'll take you here. Here you'll find a lot of information on the installation base of specific fonts, so you know which fonts are most widely installed and then some of the recommended font stacks that can help you get started.

8 Artisanal Foods You Didn't Know Were Made By Prisoners
Inmates help make a surprising amount of the feel-good food products you eat, from cage-free eggs to goat cheese sold at Whole Foods.
State and federal inmates have long manufactured products like license plates and office furniture for the U.S. government, but thanks in part to the Prison Industry Enhancement Certification Program (PIECP), which allows certified correctional agencies to form partnerships with private companies, prisoners around the country now produce everything from blue jeans to motorcycles to, increasingly, high-quality food.
Founded in 1979, PIECP is designed to "place inmates in a realistic work environment, pay them the prevailing local wage for similar work, and enable them to acquire marketable skills to increase their potential for successful rehabilitation and meaningful employment upon release," according to the National Correctional Industries Association. Forty-one states have participated in the program as of December 2013, according to the most recent quarterly report. The National Institute of Justice claims the program prepares inmates for life outside and lowers recidivism rates.
But critics say the program is exploitative and takes jobs away from non-incarcerated workers to benefit prisons, which can withhold as much as 80% of prisoners' pay for restitution and incarceration costs. Plus, inmates have no benefits or recourse if they're mistreated.
Both massive corporations and boutique companies take advantage of the cheap labor — and the chance to say their product is "made in the USA" without specifying exactly where. Starbucks subcontractor Signature Packaging Solutions once hired Washington prisoners to package holiday coffees; in the 1990s, subcontractor Third Generation employed South Carolina inmates to sew lingerie for Victoria's Secret.
Here are some products from small businesses that advertise sustainable, responsible practices — and are often less transparent about the inmates working for them.
1. Alfalfa (and "Premium Natural Beef")
On its website, Five Dot Land and Cattle Company says it's committed to providing "the best tasting beef California has to offer while working closely to promote stewardship of the land in a sustainable, environmentally conscious manner." It's been raising natural cattle for almost 15 years thanks to "low stress handling, proper nutrition and holistic management practices."
It has also outsourced its alfalfa production to California inmates.
2. Cage-Free Eggs
Hickman's Family Farms is Arizona's largest — and only — egg producer. The "third-generation operation that began on Grandma Hickman's backyard porch" says it uses "stringent methods of conservation and recycling to remain as environmentally friendly as possible." A "supporter of the community," Clint and the Hickman family "contribute to a variety of charitable efforts and causes year-round in Arizona." They also employ prisoners.
Colorado Natural Eggs in Denver has sold cage-free "eggs with a conscience" cared for by inmates under NestFresh, which produces "certified organic and cage free eggs because we believe in doing business responsibly."
(Hidden Villa Ranch acquired NestFresh in 2006 and said via email that NestFresh had ceased use of prison labor before it was acquired.)
3. Award-Winning Goat Cheese
Haystack Mountain partners with the Colorado Correctional Industries (CCI) inmate-run goat dairy in Cañon City to produce its "nationally recognized" premium, handcrafted raw and pasteurized cheeses. They're available at Whole Foods.
5. "Jazz" Hybrid Apples
The McDougall & Sons orchard was one of the first Washington growers to plant Jazz apple trees when they became available in 2004. In 2011, they hired inmates to help out.
6. Whole Foods Tilapia
Whole Foods Market sources tilapia "only from farms that meet our unique, industry-leading Quality Standards for Aquaculture," meaning "we know exactly where our farmed seafood comes from and who is doing the farming," according to its website.
Arrowhead Fisheries, which sells to Whole Foods, breeds, packs, and ships tilapia through Colorado Correctional Industries.
7. Buffalo Mozzarella
Denver-based Leprino Foods says it's the world's largest mozzarella cheese manufacturer. They get their buffalo milk from the Four Mile Correctional Center in Cañon City, home to "what could very well be the country's largest herd of domesticated water buffalo," according to Harvest Public Media.
8. Award-Winning Wine
The Winery at Holy Cross Abbey produces award-winning chardonnays and cabernet francs using prison-grown grapes.
- Hidden from public view, there's a parallel legal universe that empowers corporations to bend countries to their will, an investigation reveals.
- Mexican music legend Juan Gabriel has died at 66. The singer was known for his mariachi tunes and ballads on love and heartbreak.

Druzy is a glittery coating of crystals directly on another stone. It occurs naturally on the surface or in cracks of another stone. Tiny quartz crystals cover the stone, resulting in a sparkling appearance that makes a dramatic piece of jewelry.
Jewelry artisan Meg Galligan of Margaret Elizabeth has used druzy in a white druzy pendant necklace , a charcoal gray druzy pendant, and an exquisite bracelet with druzy teardrops.
Cynthia Bloom's beautiful druzy pendants are perfect examples of druzy's glittery impact. Different colors can occur naturally as druzy, or it can be dyed, like this necklace from Cynthia Bloom, In these pieces, the surface of the stone looks like it has been scattered with stony glitter.
When the surface of the druzy stone has been polished, the glittering effect of the druzy is still seen beneath the polished surface. Check out Miller Canning's agate druzy necklace!
Whether it has a rough surface or a polished surface, is spelled druzy or drusie,you will love the glittering starstruck look of this beautiful jewelry stone.

Sequoia/Kings Canyon NP > Cirque Peak > Climber's Log
Cirque Peak Climber's Log
[ Sign the Climber's Log ]
|Loop up NAP, down Chicken Spring Lake and PCT.
Date Climbed: Jul 20, 2016
|Not bagging this peak two years ago when I hiked Langley bugged me. For that day I planned Mount Tyndall but a lot of reasoning made me push Tyndall for next year. Therefore I wanted instead a peak easy on my knees, with a long distance to travel, that could fill the whole day. Cirque Peak fit the bill. I was planning to go up New Army Pass and down Old Army Pass. I also knew of another loop, up NAP and down to Chicken Spring Lake where I'd take the PCT to Cottonwood Pass and than down to Horseshoe Meadow parking lot. I chose this loop since, besides the excitement of seeing a new route and bagging Cirque, I'd also bagge Peaks 12524 (which has a class 4, 15 ft high climb to make the summit), 12417 (which is really just a walk over keeping the elevatin from 12525), and 12336 (a class 2 easy bolder hopping hike to the summit, also nicknamed the Trail Master). This loop also turned out to be 3 miles shorter than my initial New Army - Old Army combination. However, the Cottonwood Pass seems like an arduous hike going up. I didn't like it going down and I don't even want to know how it is the other way around. The whole deal was 17.75 miles and lasted 8 hours and 35 minutes.

First visit was from Cirque Lake, from which the scramble is a bit closer to 3rd class here and there, but on the finest, most consistent talus I've see in the Sierras. This time, started at Checkin Spring Lake and its just a hike really until the last bit. Not as elegant or scenic, but so much easier! Trail to Checkin reminded me of hikes out of Idyllwild. Will happily do this one again and again.

|Mike, Brooke and I went to the top of this mountain via Cottonwood Lakes. We were telling the stories of our lives while going up and down so I don't remember too much of that hike except for the sunshine and snow. There was still snow left on the top of the mountain. Beautiful view of the Sierras from the summit!

|I started off with a small group from Horseshoe Meadows and hiked up to Mount Langley. On the way back, I broke off at Old Army Pass and headed up to Cirque. The route out there is straight forward, but very rocky. Upon reaching the summit I saw that the registers went back to 1989, but were in poor shape, so I didn't spend time reading them, not wanting them to fall apart. I dropped down off the east face and encountered plenty of steep, loose, avalanche prone scree, and fortunately, plenty of class 3 rock to hang onto while working my way down about 1200' to the moraine below. Once past the moraine, the going was easy. Beautiful meadows, streams, and ancient trees. I followed the South Fork of Cottonwood Creek and eventually ended up on the main trail out of Horseshoe Meadows, about a mile from the parking lot. The distance came out about the same as an out and back to Langley, but with an additional gain of over another 1000'.

|Started from Cottonwood Lakes Trailhead about 10:30, hiked up via New Army Pass, went too far to the left on the scramble up the rocks so had to traverse almost the whole summit plateau, took a more direct route down and then climbed Cirque Peak. Got to the summit there about 7:00 pm and then dropped down to the PCT to camp by an unfortunately dry lake. After hiking some on the PCT, camped at Chicken Spring Lake the 2nd night, very delightful!

The Soldier
by Rupert Brooke
Analysis: Setting
Where It All Goes Down
We can sum up the setting of this poem in one word for you, gang. Two syllables. Ready? Here they come: England. That's right: England from the speaker's past, England in a foreign field, heck—even England up in heaven! No matter where the speaker's mind roams (because the poem literally takes place in his mind, rather than, say, a London pub), it always finds England. Of course, for any good soldier and patriot, it's expected that home will be high up on the list of things to appreciate and think about. What's really telling about this poem, though, is the way that England so dominates our speaker's thoughts and takes over every possible setting—real or imagined. And what's not to like? We're told that it's got flowers, rivers, sun, air that's nice and breathable. Sounds like a good place to us. For the soldier, though, this setting is everything. It dominates his mind, and this poem.

Council passes Reggie's Resolution
Published: Sunday, September 3, 2006 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, September 2, 2006 at 11:55 p.m.
The Terre-bonne Parish Council has made it tougher for ordinary residents to speak their minds at its committee meetings.
I understand the councils stated intent, but I question whether its action was necessary at all.
"The council realizes that public comments are crucial to the democratic process and wishes to hear comments from the public in a timely and orderly manner yet allow a mechanism so that the chair may maintain control of the meetings," its recently passed resolution proclaims.
Sounds reasonable.
No council members have admitted it publicly, but the real impetus behind this change goes by the name of Reggie Bourg. The Dulac residents repeated appearances before the council, during which he criticizes members for alleged mistakes and misdeeds that sometimes sound like stream-of-consciousness conspiracy theories, have just become too irritating for them to take.
An e-mail from the council to the state Attorney Generals Office singles out one person as being a problem during meetings, though it doesnt mention Bourg by name. It reads: "One citizen continually comes before the Council and its committees with ëquestionable topics some say it is the individuals 5 minutes of fame." The e-mail goes on to say that an attorney generals opinion, dated Jan. 23, 2002, "would solve our problem."
Lets call this Reggies Resolution.
I understand that council members would be annoyed. Heck, so does Bourg.
"I do this as a matter of protest. I have the right to speak," Bourg told a Courier reporter in a story last Sunday. "Even though its controversial, even though its negative, even though its critical."
Yes, he has a right to speak, and to me, its part of an elected officials job to listen to constituents, however distasteful, annoying or odd their comments may be.
The council also has a responsibility to maintain decorum at its meetings and a right to prevent people from abusing the public forum. The council is, as the state attorney general says, under no obligation to let anyone blather as long as he wants about anything he chooses.
The councils new rule specifically deals with speaking at Monday-night meetings, when all nine members meet as a so-called "committee of the whole." In the past, anybody could speak on any subject, regardless of whether it was on the committees written agenda.
Now, you can still speak, as long as its about an agenda topic. If you want to speak about something thats not on the committees agenda, you have to get permission from one of the nine council members. And then the council has to vote whether to hear your new topic.
If you want your topic on the committees written agenda, which is published before the meeting, one member needs to support it. But its ultimately up to the committee head to decide whats put on the written agenda.
Parish staff members, officials and other elected representatives are still allowed to talk to the council at any time if giving information about their government-related activities.
Under state law, the council could have cracked down harder if it wanted to, and I credit members for showing some restraint. Even after the change, you can still say anything you want to the council at its regular Wednesday meetings. And you can still say anything you want at committee meetings, as long as you jump through the extra hoops. This is an issue of where to draw the line, but I wonder why a line had to be drawn at all.
The Terrebonne Parish Council already had a five-minute limit on public speakers, so the worst Bourg could do at any committee meeting is ramble for five minutes about whatever he wanted to discuss. Is that really worth making it tougher for everybody to address a council committee?
Yes, I have a soft spot in my heart for open government and vigorous public debate, and I think our elected officials should go to great lengths to make sure thats what the people who elect them get.
Boards like the Parish Council operate meetings under a widely accepted set of standards called "Roberts Rules of Order." The rules give committee and council chairmen plenty of latitude to rein in debate when it gets redundant or out of control. Isnt that sufficient?
Of course, council and committee chairmen rarely use those or any tools to silence their own public discussion, especially when members are trying to make themselves look good or criticize someone they think has made them look bad.
The newspaper I work for and I have occasionally been the subject of those tirades. Last year, council members spent 40 minutes at one meeting blasting The Courier for reporting that some of them had run up excessive cell-phone bills at taxpayer expense. I remember a collective diatribe in 2003 when one councilman, angered about a news story that caught several outgoing members repeatedly playing hooky, accused me of being part of the "Little Mafia" that runs The Courier. Council members spent more than an hour at a meeting ranting about that one, following their well-honed practice of playing to the cameras so their comments go out to the public unfiltered, unquestioned and without rebuttal when HTV replays the meetings later.
Yes, something good may come from council members new effort to "maintain control of the meetings" by preventing people from wasting time on "questionable topics" in an attempt to grab "five minutes of fame." If only they would apply these strictures to themselves.

Beck: I am so sick of the media labeling this as a 'bathroom' issue. If they would report the truth - this applies to locker rooms, showers, and dorms in ALL public schools - people might actually understand the backlash to this bill. Twelve to sixteen year old girls should not be forced to change into a swimsuit or shower with a biological male, no matter how that male identifies! This bill states that it is up to the transgender student if they use the common area or not. Teenage girls have enough body issues as it is without this mess.

The fear of summer electric bills is upon me and I am dead set to do anything I can to minimize them. In my quest for lower utility bills I found the easiest and cheapest green home upgrade....in a power strip? Yep.
D'Bug's Life
DIY quick tips, howto's, home improvement, electronics, residential manufacturing, CNC, tools and product reviews, all just part of D'Bug's life.
Attic Duct Upgrade
Here in Oklahoma it's kind of hard to tell that Summer is right around the corner, but it is. Since air conditioning is a large portion of my utility bills I am moving my energy saving focus in that direction before it gets hot. When I bought this house the HVAC unit was virtually non-functional, and to be honest I was a tad scared to turn it on, so I had it replaced. Having a spiffy new HVAC I didn't pay much attention to it as a place to save money until I went in the attic and saw this; The main return air duct was patched together with plastic and duct tape.
DIY Lancape Rock Light
Ever see those neat landscaping lights that light up your tree at night but stay hidden in the day acting like rocks? Ever notice how the store bought ones look fake? Plastic rocks are hard to make look like real rocks, and even if you find one that looks like a real rock, does it look like the other rocks in your garden? Probably not, and you just paid $20 to $50 to have a plastic rock in your garden. We can do far better for far cheaper.
Simple Desktop Power Supply Hack
the PC power supply DIY option. I've seen both and I neither wanted to spend a Benjamin on a supply nor wanted a monstrous PC power supply sitting on my desk all the time. I came up with a quick hack that makes for a nice, small, inexpensive desktop power supply.

Posted on 07/11/2008 7:21:18 AM PDT by Soliton
In the past, I have observed that the newsmedia and scientific establishment commonly promote the Darwinist bias against intelligent design (ID), where the media "carefully selects the sources of information it will broadcast to the public on this issue." (To see how various groups in the establishment serve as checkpoints to prevent scientific information that challenges neo-Darwinism from reaching the public, observe the diagram at left.) National Geographic (NG) is doing its job as a media checkpoint, promoting biased information to the public on ID.
(Excerpt) Read more at evolutionnews.org ...
The Discovery Institute created the Intelligent Design movement deliberately to get around the supreme court ruling prohibiting teaching creationism in public schools.
ID was found to be just another name for creationism by a court of law headed by a church-going Republican.
A textbook that they created before the SCOTUS ruling used creationism throughout. Shortly after the ruling, they changed it to Intelligent Design. Here is a short video showing the "smoking gun."
To Christian FReepers: Is it acceptable to break one of the ten commandments to try and promote religion?
Obviously YOU deny God, in calling those that believe in Him, "liars". Gee, can if be MORE obvious that YOU are so BIASED?
"The Discovery Institute created the Intelligent Design movement deliberately to get around the supreme court ruling prohibiting teaching creationism in public schools."
NO, it's another form of the 2nd Amendment, or is that ONLY reserved for atheists and evolutionists to pursue the truth?
"ID was found to be just another name for creationism by a court of law headed by a church-going Republican."
No, SCIENCE actually backs up "Creation" or "ID". Must really make you angry ... .
"A textbook that they created before the SCOTUS ruling used creationism throughout. Shortly after the ruling, they changed it to Intelligent Design. Here is a short video showing the "smoking gun." "
Since using the word "God" is so offensive to people like YOU, they tried to neutralize things by referring to God as an "Intelligent Designer", hence the term, "ID". Even that makes YOU paranoid.
"To Christian FReepers: Is it acceptable to break one of the ten commandments to try and promote religion? "
As a Christian, I am troubled that YOU have no respect or tolerance for another view founded on objective SCIENCE.
Perhaps YOU need to visit the "Ten Commandments" and stop the lying? Christians are speaking the truth about Creation. The truth is that the MAJORITY of people, don't beleive in eolution so I suppose this bothers you all the more. There is NO case for evolution.
You perhaps have some evidence to back up this statement?
"There is NO case for evolution." ~ nmh
Of course we must all be on the same page with our terms before any valid debate can occur, to wit:
"Which theory of evolution are you talking about? "...What is the significance of such a theory? To address this question is to enter the field of epistemology.
A theory is a metascientific elaboration distinct from the results of observation, but consistent with them.
By means of it a series of independent data and facts can be related and interpreted in a unified explanation.
A theory's validity depends on whether or not it can be verified; it is constantly tested against the facts; wherever it can no longer explain the latter, it shows its limitations and unsuitability. It must then be rethought.
Furthermore, while the formulation of a theory like that of evolution complies with the need for consistency with the observed data, it borrows certain notions from natural philosophy.
And, to tell the truth, rather than the theory of evolution, we should speak of several theories of evolution.
On the one hand, this plurality has to do with the different explanations advanced for the mechanism of evolution, and on the other, with the various philosophies on which it is based.
Hence the existence of materialist, reductionist, and spiritualist interpretations.
What is to be decided here is the true role of philosophy and, beyond it, of theology.
Consequently, theories of evolution which, in accordance with the philosophies inspiring them, consider _the spirit_ as emerging from the forces of living matter or as a mere epiphenomenon of this matter are incompatible with the truth about man. Nor are they able to ground the dignity of the person. ..."

And no, I'm not RCC, Baptist, nor any so-called "fun
No, I call people who lie liars. The Discovery institute was busted in a court of law for bearing false witness when they claimed that ID wasn't just another name for creationism They lied in order to break the law. There are many believers who consider lying a sin. Do you?
They're EVERYWHERE!:
The Reverend Sir John Houghton, former head of the UK Meteorological Office, Publisher of Al Gores book on GW and Former Co-Chair of the IPCC, said this (with what some would call, "malice aforethought"):
Unless we announce disasters, no one will listen
.. human induced global warming is a weapon of mass destruction at least as dangerous as chemical, nuclear or biological weapons that kills more people than terrorism.
Personally, I think that Houghton, Algore, Hansen, et.al., should be arrested and brought up on charges for the horrible suffering and nightmares they have caused to little children and adults around the world as a direct result of their deliberate "scare-mongering".
This is merely the _latest_ example of it (There are many more):
I UNDERSTAND the basics of evolutionary science and am in awe of God's wonderful works. Evolution is a miraculous thing, and to me it's so clear ... it IS intelligent design on many levels, physical and spiritual. Evolution sends a clear message that we must adapt to God's laws or perish.
YOU, on the other hand, presume to name me an atheist because some poor, pitiful atheist scientists have used the reality of evolution as an argument that God doesnt' exist -- really it is EXACTLY like the guy who says cavities prove God doesn't exist because if He really loved us, why would he give us teeth that rot?
Soliton has it right: you guys are Liars for God, you do it out of pride, and YOU are the ones being conned by the devil in disguise. God is truth and God is love. If evolution is truth -- and there's every indication that it is -- then it IS GOD. You are shallow, emotional, and uninformed enough to think that "survival of the fittest" means "lack mercy and compassion promotes survival," which goes against God. But that is in truth NOT what evolution is about; evolution says that adaptability equals survival. We humans must ADAPT to God's laws or we perish, just as all of God's creatures, for the past 4.5 billion hears, have either adapted to changing environments or perished.
God's steady and wise hand is very visible in evolution. Your pride and unwitting league with the Creationist devil, who has made you comfortable with falsehood, blinds you to it. Wake up and stop serving the real devil.
Intelligent Design = Creationism
Anybody who has been following this debate knows that the whole ID fig leaf was created to prevent accusations of pushing religion as science.
It was proven in court.
Undeniable truth of life # 23. Evolution cannot explain Creation. — Rush Limbaugh (1980's)
"...evolution does take place, but it doesn't explain Creation. Obviously, it can't .." Rush Limbaugh Facts, Science Smash the Global Warming Myth February 28, 2007
"No science is ever frightening to Christians. Religious people don't need the science to come out any particular way on IQ or AIDS or sex differences any more than they need the science to come out any particular way on evolution...If evolution is true, then God created evolution. ... Although God-believers don't need evolution to be false, athiests need evolution to be true. ". — Ann Coulter (from her 2006 book, "Godless")

Romney Elaborates on Evolution By Michael Luo
DES MOINES, May 11 Mitt Romney expanded on his belief in evolution in an interview earlier this week...
I believe that God designed the universe and created the universe, Mr. Romney said in an interview this week. And I believe evolution is most likely the process he used to create the human body.
He was asked: Is that intelligent design?
Im not exactly sure what is meant by intelligent design, he said. But I believe God is intelligent and I believe he designed the creation. And I believe he used the process of evolution to create the human body.
While governor of Massachusetts, Mr. Romney opposed the teaching of intelligent design in science classes.
In my opinion, the science class is where to teach evolution, or if there are other scientific thoughts that need to be discussed, he said.
If were going to talk about more philosophical matters, like why it was created, and was there an intelligent designer behind it, thats for the religion class or philosophy class or social studies class.
Intelligent design is typically defined as the claim that examination of nature points to the work of an intelligent designer, as opposed to the utterly random, naturalistic processes that are taught as part of evolutionary theory. Critics have called intelligent design a thinly disguised version of creationism, which takes a literal approach to the creation account in Genesis, that the earth was created in six days and is less than 10,000 years old.
Mr. Romney ..told his interviewers that he did not believe there was a conflict between true science and true religion, he said.
True science and true religion are on exactly the same page, he said. they may come from different angles, but they reach the same conclusion. Ive never found a conflict between the science of evolution and the belief that God created the universe. He uses scientific tools to do his work. .."

If quotes like the ones below seem to contradict each other to you, I would suggest that the subject under discussion is waaaaaaay more complicated than your "teachers" (religious or secular) have (ignorantly or otherwise) led you to believe. :)
QUOTE: Evolution by natural selection in the classical senseunguided, with no transcendent agent to direct mutations along certain beneficial lines, as Asa Gray put it, hasnt a clue about how to explain religionor mathematics, or philosophy, or our ability to do science, for that matter.
Evolution might or might not be able to account for the complexity of our brains, per se, but its mute and powerless to explain the higher products of our brains, which are of course by far the most complex objects yet known to us anywhere in the universe. Many agnostic and atheist philosophers, mathematicians, and scientists have stated this much in frank terms.
Our ability to do higher mathematics, for example, was utterly irrelevant to our survival in evolutionary termsour ancestors needed to know absolutely nothing about topology or fractals, manifolds or tensors, even differential calculus, in order to outwit mammoths and saber-tooth tigers. Nor did they need to know the profoundly shocking fact (from the point of view of naturalism) that mathematics of the kinds just mentioned is incredibly powerful for understanding the external worlda fact that just cries out for a deeper explanation. Pinker, Dawkins, Dennett and company are flying into the face of the facts on this one.
We can not only do mathematics, but our mathematics actually matches the subtlest details of the external world.
How does this make any sense at all, if we arent in a very real sense created in the image of God, the divine mathematician (as Kepler, Galileo, and Copernicus regarded God) who also created the external world? ~ Ted Davis 3/24/08 Professor of the History of Science Web page: http://home.messiah.edu/~tdavis/
QUOTE: See here if any of you find this objectionable http://www.sciencemag.org/about/authors/prep/gen_info.dtl).
My patience has been exhausted. Rather than accept the fact that ID proponents have not stepped up to the plate this myth continues to be propogated. So, let me suggest one more avenue for the ID proponents to prove their point. Poll your colleagues ask them how many papers were rejected and from what journals. Summarize here with the number of researchers polled and the results. We can compare the rejection rates with people here that are not ID proponents. If I hear crickets, combining this with what I have previously presented it should be patently obvious to all that ID is truly a science stopper. ~ Rich Blinne

QUOTE: ..I do have an idea for their [the Intelligent Design Movement] research program. Show how the evolutionary process is not random, not how it cannot happen. We can give them help here. This could be like the 95 Behe/Miller debate in reverse where Behe showed that Millers textbook claimed purposeless evolution and Miller knowing that evolution is not random in the popular sense fixed the error. It came back to bite him in the Dover trial where the old version was being used and Miller pointed to the new version. If the heart of the problem ID has is a random, purposeless, evolution, then we are here to help show how current, mainstream, evolutionary theory shows otherwise. It would require them to risk getting expelled by their YEC allies, though. ~ Rich Blinne Member ASA 04/24/2008 http://www.calvin.edu/archive/asa/200804/0583.html Other interesting conversation may be found here: http://www.calvin.edu/archive/asa/200804/
regardless of the quotes you submitted, my point is still the same.
all sorts of shrill voices chime in from the anti christian, anti religion, anti free inquiry, whenever the forced religion of humanism and its sacrement of evolutionism is challenged....
name calling, whining, elephant hurling (confusing length of a 'rebuttal' with substance or fact) scare tactics that the 'religious bible thumpers' are coming, etc...
it's all part of their game plan.....
"anything and everything has to be done to prop up the humanist religion of evolutionism,"
You clearly don't understand the difference between science and religion. Evolution, like all science, explains observed phenomena using natural processes. When observations (including those of the fossil record) don't match the theory, a new theory is conceived. This is part of the "scientific method".
Religion, on the other hand, invokes the "unknowable" and "supernatural". In the face of observed facts that contradict religious dogma, that religion generally stridently insists that its dogma is correct, and the observations are wrong. Examples of this from history include the Church insisting that the Sun revolves around the Earth, and that the Earth is the center of the Universe. Most Christian sects have admitted their error in these cases. One notable current issue of this nature is the insistence by some Christians that the Earth is only 5,000 years (or so) old. Numerous scientific evidence indicates that's just not true...we'll see if religion accepts reality once again.
Given the historical track record of religion vs. science on issues considered just as fundamental and important as evolution at the time, I invite you to consider the likely outcome.
yes of course, there is that tired old, "you dont understand science"...uh huh, thanks for enlightening me, im such a backward-ass country bumpkin....
please, modern evolutionary science is part and parcel of the humanist religion, and all the 'whining' about us poor uneducated fools, who dont 'understand' science like you intellectucal giants, well, you can stuff that crap pal...i dont fall for that and never have....try something else.....
".i dont fall for that and never have....try something else....."
'None are so blind as they who will not see.'
Sorry for your loss.
no loss here...lucidity is a great gift when confronted with lies......
"lucidity is a great gift when confronted with lies......"
Please explain what the 'lie' is exactly. Are you claiming scientists are fabricating evidence such as the fossil record or DNA evidence? Or....?
Alternatively, are you claiming evolution is a 'lie' simply because it conflicts with your religious beliefs? If so, I'm afraid that's a fruitless accusation, since both the scientific method and the evidence of evolution are well documented, and the term 'lie' isn't applicable unless fraud is involved. It is simply the best, simplest scientific theory that explains the observed facts.
Just out of curiosity, do you consider the Church to have 'lied' when it instructed the faithful that the Sun revolved around the Earth?
And by sticking up for those who engage in that sort of behavior on the "other side" (and maybe even also engaging in it, how can you legitimately excuse yourself?
"..In many ways, the historic controversy of creation vs. evolution has been similar to Galileo's conflict, only with a reversal of roles..."
What were Galileo's scientific and biblical conflicts with the Church?
actually, the conflict arose because the catholic church asked galileo to keep quiet about his discoveries, until the church could verify them with those who were scientists within the church..
galileo refused to do so, and therefore, the church took action against him. which by the way, was basically house arrest in, for the time, an apartment with all the amenities of the time.
this is what you never hear about from the 'media' or 'science news' which always tries to paint the church as being anti science....
it makes for good fodder for anti christians...but as i noted before, lucidity helps one see through the lies.
one can be deceived and thus be lying, without doing it on purpose.
history is abound with the the 'honest' scientists' fabricating fake missing links, i.e. using the pig tooth and building an entire non existant missing link that was displayed for years...etc....
but generally speaking, folks like you and those you support, are looking at the exact same evidence, fossil wise, dna wise, astronomy wise, etc....
it is the starting point that differs, we believe in what God said, and look at the evidence thusly.
those in the other camp, start with the premise of 'nature is all there ever was' and proceed to interpret the same evidence....
that fact that they are lying, and dont know it, well, that is the problem isnt it?
"one can be deceived and thus be lying, without doing it on purpose." ~ raygunfan
That's true.
Kurt Wise: "Given what we currently think we understand about the world, the majority of the scientific evidence favors an old earth and universe, not a young one. I would therefore say that anyone who claims that the earth is young for scientific evidence alone is scientifically ignorant. "
Who is Kurt Wise?:
Towers Online - The News Service of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary http://www.towersonline.net/story.php?grp=news&id=344
April 13, 2006 By Jeff Robinson
"Trustees at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary on April 11 unanimously approved the creation of two new theological study centers...
Seminary President R. Albert Mohler Jr. said the new study centers aim at equipping pastors and church leaders to think biblically about pivotal issues which dominate contemporary culture.
"One of the ways we want to lead Southern Baptists is through helping evangelicals and Southern Baptists in particular to engage some of the most critical issues of our day," Mohler said.-
"This is not a time for Christians to be out-thought by the world, but in general that is what happens. We find the church behind the times in thinking about some of the most crucial issues of our day."
...Mohler also named Kurt Wise as the new director for Southern's Center for Theology and Science, and professor of theology and science. Wise currently serves on the faculty of Bryan College in Dayton, Tenn., where he is also director of the Center for Origins Research.
Wise earned both a doctor of philosophy and master of arts in paleontology from Harvard University. He and his wife Marie have two daughters.
Wise replaces William Dembski, who is leaving Southern Seminary to join the faculty at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary so he can be closer to his family.
"With the addition of Kurt Wise, we are recognizing that creation is a ground zero theological crisis point right now in American culture and even in our churches," Moore said. [snip] ..
A couple of interesting items on the web regarding Kurt Wise:
[1] 7/3/2003 http://www.christianforums.com/t43741&page=12 "Ok, I just got a email from Dr. Wise. This is what he said:
"I am a young-age creationist because the Bible indicates the universe is young. Given what we currently think we understand about the world, the majority of the scientific evidence favors an old earth and universe, not a young one. I would therefore say that anyone who claims that the earth is young for scientific evidence alone is scientifically ignorant. Thus I would suggest that the challenge you are trying to meet is unmeetable." ~ Kurt Wise
[2] December 19th 2004 http://www.theologyweb.com/campus/showthread.php?t=44017 Theologyweb.com
Post # 7:
"...there is new breed of YEC out there, of which Kurt Wise is an example, who recognize that there are scientific problems with their Weltanschauung. I knew Kurt was exceptional, but there are more of his stripe. Affectionately, I'd like to refer to them as neo-YECs, as opposed to the Wieland-Ham-Morris-Safarti-Jorge YECs for which I would propose the oxymoronic moniker paleo-YECs."
Of course, that sort of stance rightly invites articles such as this from snickering, rabid atheists like Richard Dawkins:
Sadly, an Honest Creationist - by Richard Dawkins http://www.secularhumanism.org/index.php?section=library&page=dawkins_21_4
see quotes wars can be amuzing...but, again, those who are part of the yec group, sarfati, morris, et al, are emminently qualified to speak in favor of YEC.
"that fact that they are lying, and dont know it, well, that is the problem isnt it?"
That is a BIG problem, since one is not lying if one does not intend to deceive. From Merriam-Webster:
1 : to make an untrue statement with intent to deceive
Statements made by the merely ignorant aren't "lies".
It's difficult to hold a conversation when basic terms are open to interpretation.
I'm done with this thread, enjoy your weekend.
yes, it is difficult, but i tried my best, i dont usually speak in dictionary terms, one usually can convey the meaning without having to resort to looking up a word in the dictionary, to get a point across.
I don't know what your father did to you but it must have really made you angry at God. I don't believe that you are an atheist.
No, I am agnostic. I am not angry with God, but with the anti-science nutjobs on FR who aren't content to worship in church, but want religion taught in science class.

FORT HUACHUCA, Ariz. -- Thirty years of compassion were recognized on Sunday in a celebration to honor the Fort Huachuca Widowed Support Center's contribution to area widows and widowers.
Located just before the Fort Huachuca main gate entrance, the corner building with orange doors has been the center's home since 1983. From providing food on the day of a funeral to offering survivor resources, the center's volunteers handle it all. Widowed persons of all ages from all branches of the service, regardless of rank, and civilians are assisted.
Volunteers also aid those seeking to ease their spouse's transition to life as a single person. "They tell us, 'I'm dying. What does my wife need to do?" said Widowed Support Center President Barbara Adams. "We have a packet we give them so when it occurs, the survivor knows what to do and where to go," Adams stated.
The center's community support reaches beyond its primary mission of helping widowed persons. Through its Critter Program volunteers clean donated dolls and stuffed animals and provide them to local organizations. As a non-profit it welcomes donations of all kinds, not simply cuddly creatures.
The center, which operates through the Fort Huachuca Chaplain Activities Office, was the vision of founder Betty Cottrell who wanted to create a place of support for widowed persons. "When they started this organization nothing like it existed," said Adams. Cottrell and fellow early organizer, Wanda Otterholt, spent a year lobbying the Department of Defense for support of the concept and meeting with fort officials. Their efforts paid off when the center finally opened in 1981 in a smaller facility on post.
Remarkably, the center provides its depth of services solely through word of mouth and with a volunteer team that is dramatically less than the 48 it started with 30 years ago. "We had seven people at our meeting last week," said Adams. "We need volunteers," she continued. "But they must be widows. We want someone who has been through it; someone who knows what these people are going through and understands," Adams stated.
"I tell people this is a place where they can laugh, they can cry, they can complain, and there's always a hug," said Adams.
The Widowed Support Center is open Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. -- 2 p.m. For more information, call 533.3807.

On all the pages (except for the home page) there's a "home >> page i'm on" sentence. the "page i'm on" is a link, but the "home" is not-- is there anyway to make the "home" a link to my homepage?
*On the blog page, the breadcrumb does allow me to click on "home"
But no other pages allow me that.
The only difference that I see is that the blog page is a custom page whereas the others are default template, but when I change another page to custom page, it still doesn't let me click on the "home" to link back to the homepage. So I'm not sure what the difference is.
These are set in Customizit!>Pages and Posts Layout>Display breadcrumbs tickbox.
By design, they don't appear on the Home page itself.
Maybe a link to your site might help us?
I think it might be a browser issue. On my home computer (macbook- uses Safari), the breadcrumb "home" link works to take me to my home page- but on my work computer- PC on both chrome and internet explorer, the "home" is not a link.
Do you think it's a browser issue too?
I am also having some problems with the "home" breadcrumb. Doesn't seem to be a hyperlink on some of my pages as mentioned above. The "home" breadcrumb works on the page I have set as the posts page but not the others. Is this the way it's supposed to function? http://sandigz.com/
The problem you have is the title of the pages is somehow over your breadcrumb so you can't click it.
Add this css on your CT or your custom css box.
.breadcrumb-trail {
position: relative;
z-index: 90;
Let us know if it worked!
Worked great! Thank you Galegri
Well done Galegri!
@nikeo, this solves the bug reported here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/back-to-home-button-doesnt-work-breadcrumb-bug
Works for me too! Thanks Galegri!
Hi to all. Why my home button at insuraati.com takes me back to where i came from i.e insuraati.wordpress.com ? I installed wordpress on bluehost and then imported the whole theme from insuraati.wordpress.com as well ... Which somehow left the title logo back there :-( Any Help would be welcome . Thanks
