I hear people talk about their "Christianity" as though they are wearing some kind of "badge of courage." I constantly hear these same people ask "what would Jesus do?" As everyone who is a regular here knows I don't care what religion you may follow. I don't care if you don't follow any religion. I don't care if you don't even believe in religion or god.
But, what I do care about is that if you truly believe in religion, you have a duty to actually live by the teachings you say you believe in. As I have written before, all religions have their faults. All religions, by definition are discriminatory. That is just the nature of the religion business. You can't really believe in a religion unless you believe the "my god is better than your god" theory.
As we know, America is predominantly a Christian country. That doesn't mean that Christianity is the "official religion" of America as the Christian Cult want's you to believe. It just means that more people in our country count themselves as Christian than anything else.
Conservatives are the most vocal "Christians" we hear talking today. So, I ask, if conservatives are so Christian, why are their policies so "Un-Christian?" Why is it that Conservative Christians claim to have "accepted Jesus as their lord and savior" and yet go against 99% of his teachings? How is it that Conservative Christians can claim to follow the "teachings of Jesus" all the while hating their neighbors and pass discriminatory laws and policies?
I ask these questions now because Christians are celebrating their most holy week, Easter Week. This is when Christians are supposed to "reaffirm" their belief system and their acknowledgement of the teachings of Jesus. It is also a time when we are seeing more and more discriminatory laws being passed by states whose politicians claim to be "Conservative Christians."
We are seeing more anti-LGBT laws being passed under the false pretense of "religious liberty." Just for the record, Jesus never said a single word about the LGBT community. What he said was that there were only two commandments: "Love God with all your heart and soul, and love your neighbor as yourself."
Now, I don't care what version of the Bible you read, you will not find an asterisk after the "love your neighbor as yourself" quote. There was no "exception" offered by Jesus to this law. But, todays "Conservative Christians" want you to believe that asterisk exists. That is the only reason there is such an outcry about same-sex marriage we see today.
Just in the great-thinking state of Texas, over 20 discriminatory bills have been introduced already this year. All are in the name of "religious liberty" and of "states rights." Only these bills have been written by national organizations with their roots in the belt-way. Hardly something that screams "states rights."
There have been a lot of talk against the Islam "Sharia Law" in this country. These discriminatory laws are nothing less than "Sharia Law." I guess it depends on which "Sharia Law" you support on whether or not it is good or bad.
Yesterday was Palm Sunday. Many Christians were in church starting their Easter Week holiday celebration. The Governor of Indiana was on television trying to defend the law he passed making it legal to discriminate against LGBTs. In his interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos he utterly refused to answer the yes or no question about whether the "Religious Freedom Restoration Act" would allow discrimination against LGBT Indianans with either a yes or a no. Eight times.
The funny thing is that Jesus did mention something about your yes and no answers. It's in Matthew 5:37 and it's really very simple. Jesus said, "Let your yes be yes and your no be no." If the Governor cannot give a simple yes or no to the question about discrimination, one has to wonder what the real purpose of the law is. Another example of a so-called "Conservative Christian" claiming "religious liberty" all the while avoiding what his savior, Jesus told him to do. Answer with a yes or no.
Look, I don't care if discriminatory laws are intended to hurt LGBT, Blacks, Latinos, Irish, Germans, Muslims, Jews, or anyone else. They are evil all by themselves. Their intent is to create a multi-level citizenship status. They are an attempt to force one person's religious beliefs on everyone else. There is no other reason for them.
Additionally, these same Conservative Christians are all in support of a budget blueprint that raises the budget numbers for DOD while paying for those increases by hacking the social safety nets for our most vulnerable people. These are the same people who want to gut Medicare and make it a voucher system. They want to make the VA a voucher system. The want to gut food stamps. They want to take away health insurance from the poor and needy. And, they don't want to raise the minimum wage so people at the lower ends of our society can earn a living through their hard work.
On the other hand, they refuse to raise taxes on the wealthy. They refuse to close loopholes that allow the rich to "hide" their money overseas so they don't have to pay taxes on it. They claim they want to "balance the budget" but keep adding to the deficit by adding "breaks" and "incentives" to the wealthy without paying for them.
To me, these actions by the Conservative Christian Cult just don't add up. If you really are a Christian and claim to be "a God-fearing" person, how can you support laws that take away the civil rights of other groups? How can you openly support what I call "hate laws?"
How can you be willing to let the most needy in our society suffer even more while protecting the income of the most wealthy? Didn't Jesus say "It is harder for a wealthy person to enter heaven than it is for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle?" With policies like the ones they are pushing, I can see how that is so.
I guess the easy answer would be to say these Conservative Christians aren't really Christians at all. But, I won't go to those lengths. I won't try to look inside the hearts of people to find their motivation. But, I will say that if they truly believe in the teachings of Jesus, they have a funny way of showing it.
I once had a priest tell me that "religion is supposed to bring hope and comfort" to people. If that is true, the policies of our Conservative Christian politicians are doing just the opposite. It is more like the saying of "do what I say and not what I do."
Sometimes I wonder that if Jesus lived today, if our Conservative Christians wouldn't be the first in line to crucify him. I believe their actions and policies say they would be.

Visiting Alabama
Hi Alabama gardeners,
I will be visiting the Florence, Alabama area in mid-August (I know, I know, it's going to be hot!!!). We will also go to Birmingham, and probably Huntsville. What are some nurseries or gardens I shouldn't miss?
I know you guys will know all the good spots!
Thanks in advance,
Marcia in Texas
In the B'ham area, three that you won't want to miss are:
The Plant Odyssey - 2912 6th Ave. S.
The Plant Odyssey Nursery - 2900 4th Ave. S.
Hanna's Garden Shop - 5485 Highway 280 E.
Of course the selection is likely to be way down from Spring, and not quite stocked for Fall, but I believe you'll find something at each one that you'll want to take back home!
Have a great time while visiting, and take home lots of good memories!
Thanks, guys. The Huntsville Botanical Garden sounds like something we'll want to do, for sure.
Outside, is Across the Pond a retail nursery or a public garens? I can only find one reference to it on the 'Net, and it is sort of vague.
On another site I found a reference to something called the "Dismals" that sounds interesting? Anyone know about this place?
for sure do not miss Bennett's in Huntsville. It is a retail nursery, but really it's almost a tourist attraction! They have complimentary drinks for customers (coke, diet coke, dr. pepper, bottled water), and on Saturdays (by far the best day to go) they have live musicians (usually a guitar/violin duo) and free barbecue (OMG is it ever good--smoked chicken quarters). DH and I used to go over there on Saturdays just for fun (and it's really easy to drop some serious cash on plants in there).
Across the Pond is a retail water-garden center. They have all kinds of koi and beautiful fountains, planters, and landscape stone. I wouldn't go up there just for Across the Pond, but if you're going to Bennett's anyway, then you may as well go over and look at some huge fish, too!
HSV Botanical Garden is great, too.
angela w. who lives in hsv.
Huntsville Botanical Garden is right near the Space and Rocket Center on Bob Wallace Ave. You can't miss it right off of I-565.
Here is a link that might be useful: Huntsville Botanical Garden
Thanks, Angela and mlogsdon, and all. I know we'll be going to Bennett's and the Botanical Garden. The relatives we are visiting were already somewhat aware of Bennett's, and your description confirmed it was the place she had already scoped out. We visited them in Florence last year, but they had only been there a few months then, and weren't familiar with the area yet.
I'm also a water gardener, so Across the Pond sounds scrumptious.
We think northern Alabama is fabulous!
Thanks again for all your help.

March Event Highlights
See, touch and experience the Old Capital What's on this month!
*Time, dates and information of events are subject to change.
Pick Up Events1
Hina Matsuri
Praying for Girls' Healthy Growth
Hina Matsuri, or Doll Festival, is the one of the traditional Japanese celebrations for children held on March 3rd. This is the day to pray for young girls' growth and happiness. It is also called ''Momo no Sekku (Season of Peach)'' because it is peach blossom season in the old lunar calendar.
Many families with girls display hina ningyo, a special doll set for Hina Matsuri and dedicate peach blossoms to them. A large set of the dolls is usually arranged on a five or seven-tiered stand covered with a red carpet. At the top are the Emperor (Odairisama) and Empress (Ohina-sama). The next step contains three court ladies (Sannin kanjo), followed by five musicians (Gonin bayashi), two ministers (Udaijin and Sadaijin), and three servants ending the bottom row in a five-tiered display. There are also small pieces of furniture, small meal dishes, and other interesting articles.
The custom of displaying dolls began during the Heian period (794-1185). Formerly, people believed the dolls possessed the power to contain bad spirits. Hina matsuri traces its origins to an ancient Japanese custom called hina nagashi, in which straw hina dolls were set afloat on a boat and sent down a river to the sea, supposedly taking troubles or bad spirits with them. Shimogamo Shrine celebrates the Nagashibina (hina nagashi) by floating these dolls in the nearby stream within the precinct to pray for the safety of children.

SAPPHIRE supports latest Intel CPU family with Pure Platinum Z68 mainboard
SAPPHIRE Technology, a leading manufacturer and global supplier of graphics, mainboard and multimedia solutions has just introduced a new mainboard developed to support the latest SandyBridge family of CPU's from Intel.
The SAPPHIRE Pure Platinum Z68 is a full ATX sized board that supports the 2nd Generation Intel SandyBridge i3 / i5 / i7 processor family using socket LGA1155. Four dual channel memory sockets are provided, supporting up to 16GB of DDR3 memory with current technology, and capable of supporting up to 32GB when suitable modules become available. There two USB 3.0 ports and four USB 2.0 ports (plus 8 on headers), as well as Gigabit LAN and Bluetooth connectivity with EDR (enhanced data rate). It has four SATA II 3G ports, and two SATA III 6G ports (+ two more on a header) and supports Intel "Rapid Storage" technology as well as RAID 1, 0, 5 and 10.
Four Video output options are provided for the on-chip graphics output of the CPU - VGA, DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort - of which any pair can be used simultaneously. The HDMI 1.4a port supports both video and audio. The rear panel has the standard I/O configuration for the on board 8-channel HD 7.1 Audio as well as SPDIF.
Add-in graphics support is provided by two PCI-E Gen3 x16 slots, spaced to allow the installation of two dual width graphics cards in CrossFireX. Further expansion is provided by an additional PCI-E x16 slot and three standard PCI slots. Lucid Virtu software is bundled with this board, which provides dynamic switching between the built-in processor graphics and discrete graphics cards. This is ideal for people who want to use high-end, 3D cards for high-resolution gaming and enjoy the power savings of switching to the built-in graphics capabiity of 2nd Generation Intel processors for 2D or media applications.
The Z68 chipset supports performance tuning by allowing separate adjustment of clock speeds, multipliers and voltages, ideal for overclocking. All these changes can be made in the BIOS of the SAPPHIRE Pure Platinum Z68. The board has a Dual BIOS, allowing for experimentation and updates, and for the hard-core enthusiast, voltage test pads have been brought out to the edge of the board for the critical voltages on the CPU and memory circuits. Other user friendly features include digital debug display and a push button reset for the BIOS, as well as start and system reset buttons.
Hardware monitoring tools and the SAPPHIRE proprietary Mainboard TriXX software allow users to review and adjust a range of system parameters while optimising performance of the CPU.
The build quality of the SAPPHIRE Pure Platinum Z68 is high. It has a black multilayer PCB, and uses high quality gold plated connectors for USB 3.0 and LAN. It incorporates many of the high end features associated with the SAPPHIRE brand, such as the use of high reliability solid capacitors throughout. The multi-phase voltage regulation circuitry, 6 + 2 phase for the CPU and 3 phase for the memory modules, incorporates the patented SAPPHIRE Diamond Black chokes with coolers that have featured on SAPPHIRE's high end graphics cards, and the chipset is passively cooled contributing to reliability as there are no moving parts to fail.
The SAPPHIRE Pure Platinum Z68 is in production now, and will be available through SAPPHIRE's usual channel partners and retailers.

SNL's Norm MacDonald Tells a Crazy SNL 40 Story About "Celebrity Jeopardy!" and Eddie Murphy
SNL episodes are hard, often frenzied work, so you can imagine the sort of time and dedication and stress that went into the SNL 40 show, which featured new and former cast members along with several guest stars. One of the highlights of the three and a half hour event was the return of "Celebrity Jeopardy!" with Norm MacDonald, Will Ferrell and Darrell Hammond reprising their iconic sketch roles alongside fellow SNL stars, including Kenan Thompson doing a hilarious (and timely) Bill Cosby impression. But according to MacDonald, Thompson wasn't originally supposed to be in the sketch: Eddie Murphy was.

Still recovering from Sunday night's SNL 40 super special, Fallon was eager to share his recollections of the evening with his studio audience (and also Questlove, who was actually there, but who charitably recounted the whole evening with the giddy Fallon). There were a lot of people there!

But, after just a short time of being in Mexico, I quickly started thinking about my feet and where they were. What they were walking away from? What they were walking to? Who were they were walking with?

After the bull ring, we spent the rest of the afternoon walking around the streets of Madrid until we found a nice tapas restaurant to get dinner. We got 12 different tapas and a jug of sangria to share. The tapas included blood sausage, croquttas, potatoes, grilled peppers, salad, meatballs, calamari, battered shrimp and Spanish sausage. It was a fantastic choice, and the Sangria was great too!
We finished our night ...
A slightly imperfect day
... before we went and had dinner around the corner from the plaza, which incidentally contains a strange Germanic feel. The restaurant itself was rather upmarket, however my stomach was feeling very poor, and it was getting so severe that I was now experiencing sharp tightness in my chest, similar to that of a very bad asthmas attack or nut reaction, and I suspected that it may have been the latter that caused it, after Dad had stuffed ...

Ciudad real is pretty much a ghost town between the hours of 2 and 5, because it is too hot to be outside as well as all the stores close for lunch. Thats the next difference, stores closing for lunch doesn't happen at home.

I don´t recomend Przemysław and his friend as a guests!
Experience with Przemysław and his friend was very unpleasant and the deal was very cold and distant, there was no communication from them at any time. The rules of the house have not been respected and the room was not left in good conditions.
I am sorry to write a bad review about you, but I think it is best for the community!
No recomiendo a Przemysław y su amigo como invitados!
La experiencia con Przemysław y su amigo era muy desagradable y el trato fue muy frío y distante, no había comunicación por su parte en ningún momento. No se han respetado las reglas de la casa y la habitación no la dejaron buenas condiciones. (muy sucia)
Lamento tener que escribir una crítica negativa sobre usted, pero creo que es mejor para la comunidad!
Please indicate the specific things that are not warned in the regulations. The room was dirty on our arrival. A lack of any shelves for our stuff forced us to keep the clothes on the ground.
Belle rencontre faite de faits et gestes ;) Locataire très agréable, respectueux et ponctuel. En espérant que vous êtes content de votre séjour à Paris ! Margaux !
Very nice family, good communication and respectful for the flat! Everything went smooth with them, hope to see you next time!
Przemek and his nephew were great guests - considerate, friendly and respectful! It's a shame I was away over the weekend they were here as it would have been great to get to know them better. :-)
We hope that we will be able in the future to meet and get to know :)
I think that you aren't in our apartment...or the rest off all our Host are coming with a strong fever because are in opposite way of your "worst experience"! Any way we are sorry about your bad experience in Florence.
I suggest though one night to live in this apartment and then talk about it ...
Przemyslaw,stayed only a few hours,but he was really nice and very kind,hope to see him again in the future
So nice to be with Przemek, he stayed with us 2 times and each time was wonderful.
I suggest to have him as guest
it was so WONDERFUL to host Przemek and his friend. They are very simple, outgoing and exquisite talkers. I had the GREAT opportunity to host them. Everything was kept in order and clean.
I recommend them absolutely, they warm welcome back to Genoa at any time they wish. The house doors are open for you!!

We had a few issues we wanted to be sure were taken care of in the proper manner. He designed a plan, including second to die insurance for us. He is always available to answer questions and doesn't nickel and dime you. His assistants are friendly and knowledgeable.
Over the years we have had a couple of significant revisions. Again, he doesn't over charge. He explains what will happen in plain english and likely outcomes.
If you work so hard in your life to develop an estate and wish it to provide benefits to those you care about, then his service will help you sleep better at night!
We do!
For more than fifteen years, through changes in our lives and changes in federal and state law, Bob Glorch has helped my wife and me create and revise estate planning documents that satisfy our needs in every respect. We trust him implicitly. We have every confidence in his counsel and readiness to serve our needs. We appreciate periodic publication of bulletins regarding matters that may affect our planning either immediately or under changing circumstances. Bob is impeccably discreet, but we know from our friends that at least two have employed Bob as a result of our recommendation, and we suspect others have as well. We have no reservation about that recommendation.
Save your money! This is the worst excuse of an attorney ever! He screwed my family big time and does NOT take his client's best interest to heart. Thanks to him, we are stuck in a huge legal battle with a huge portion of the estate going to legal fees. He's rude and doesn't look out for his clients.

Betty White on Winning Entertainer of the Year Honors: 'It's Ridiculous'
"It's ridiculous," White said in response to the award. "They haven't caught on to me, and I hope they never do."
Despite being the busiest cameo artist of 2010, making appearances for 'Community' and TV Land's 'Hot in Cleveland,' the final tally for the honor was a nail biter. White narrowly beat out FOX's mega-hit cast of 'Glee' by two votes out of total of 102 ballots.
The powering force behind White's climb to the top was when she hosted for 'SNL,' an opportunity she turned down three times before finally taking it on.
"I thought I was so Californian and it's so New York-oriented that I would be like a fish out of water," White said. "This time, my agent said, `No, you've got to do it.' ... But I was scared to death."
For what made one of the best hosting performances on 'SNL' in recent memory, garnering 12.1 million viewers, White explained she had never been more nervous.
"It was the insecurity, I think, that had me scared," she says, noting that she can't stand using cue cards, a necessity for a live show that's revised until minutes before broadcast. A tip to focus on the cue cards instead of her fellow actors helped, but she still had to adjust. "I thought, `How do you not look at Tina Fey when you're standing right next to her?'"
When people say this is White's comeback, she doesn't understand where everyone was before.
"It's been phenomenal, but everybody keeps congratulating me on my resurgence and my big comeback," White said. "I haven't been away, guys. I've been working steadily for the last 63 years."

I have always adored her, thru most of the decades that she has entertained us, she is 21 years older than me. She is also a dead ringer , dead ringer for my mother. Except for her being blonde and my mothers hair being auburn, you would never had been able to tell them apart. I am glad to see her getting all of the recognition that she is getting, what a lovely lady & I wish her the very best. What a lady to go at the pace she is going at at her age.

Betty White deserves all the accolades she receives -- and more. She's a terrific performer.

Pelargonium endlicherianum summer dormancy?
bubba62June 30, 2009
I planted 2 healthy plants of Pelargonium endlicherianum in a large container filled with scree-type soil this spring, and in the last two weeks, all foliage has yellowed and dropped from the plants. The stems seem to be turgid and green, which leads me to believe they've gone into some kind of a summer dormancy. I know they're from the Southern hemisphere, and that all pelargoniums here tend to slump during the longest, hottest days of summer, but none of the others drop every leaf. I'm keeping it on the dry side for now and watching carefully, but can't find much cultural info on the plant. Any thoughts on this behavior?

"Blew me away"
This was a long journey that leaves you in a different place when you're done reading it.
"A well crafted story"
I really enjoyed this story which focused on the spouses of "famous" people, in this case the wife of a professor at "Corinth" college (must be really Cornell) and the husband of a famous novelist. It was a very intimate portrait of the characters enmeshed a story line with just enough momentum to keep you moving.
"deeply emotional but too long"
This ranks in the top half of the books I've listened to. I finished it! I enjoyed it, but it was a bit slow.
When the book finally gets near the conclusion and all the story threads come together it was quite engaging. It just took a bit too long to get there.
The characters were well read and distinguishable. As usual, female narrators do the women better than the men, but overall still quite nice.
The book covers a forgotten (at least from the US) part of world war II and does a great job of making the period come alive.
"Good in small doses"
There are some really good essays and some pretty good essays. All of it is worth listening too, but it gets to be a bit boring after the 10th essay or so.
"Still good, but not perfect"
The second volume of the Eragon Series has some exciting plot developments and a generally good story. Still, the prose can be a little awkward at times.
