SourceINDIA, March 30, 2015 (by Rupa Subramanya, Firstpost): An unsettled and ongoing debate in the area of foreign development assistance concerns the extensive role played by faith-based organisations (FBO). In the US context, in particular, FBOs have been heavily involved in the delivery of both domestic social and foreign development assistance activities funded by the US government. One of the principal avenues through which FBOs receive taxpayer support is the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Indeed, several major US-based FBOs, which receive USAID funds, are active in India in a big way. An obvious concern is that when explicitly religious organisations are funded by tax dollars, what happens if those organisations are tempted to use the funds for proselytising activity rather than just the intended humanitarian or charitable purpose?Nothing prevents an FBO from quickly transitioning from a humanitarian activity such as disaster relief to evangelizing to the same group of people -- and such activity is widely reported. Second, as monies are fungible, the fact that FBOs receive government support means that they can transfer money away from humanitarian activity toward proselytising, and still come out ahead financially. This sort of activity, blending charity and Christian evangelism, has aroused the concern of the Indian government. "Can social service not be performed without resorting to conversion and will any country allow changes to its demographic character?" asked India's Home Minister Rajnath Singh recently while addressing a government commission charged with protecting the rights of minorities in India.For more, go to source
SourceUNITED STATES, March 25, 2015 (Washington Post): Rice, the lifeblood of so many nations' cuisines, is perhaps the most ubiquitous food in the world. In Asia, where an estimated 90 percent of all rice is consumed, the pillowy grains are part of almost every meal. Rice is popular because it's malleable--it pairs well with a lot of different kinds of food--and it's relatively cheap. But like other starch-heavy foods, it has one central flaw: it isn't that good for you. White rice consumption, in particular, has been linked to a higher risk of diabetes. A cup of the cooked grain carries with it roughly 200 calories, most of which comes in the form of starch, which turns into sugar, and often thereafter body fat.An undergraduate student and his professor at the University of Sri Lanka have been tinkering with a new way to cook rice that can reduce its calories by as much as 50 percent and even offer a few other added health benefits. The ingenious method, which at its core is just a simple manipulation of chemistry, involves only a couple easy steps in practice. "What we did is cook the rice as you normally do, but when the water is boiling, before adding the raw rice, we added coconut oil--about 3 percent of the weight of the rice you're going to cook," said Sudhair James, who presented his preliminary research at National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS) on Monday. "After it was ready, we let it cool in the refrigerator for about 12 hours. That's it."More at source.

SourceBERKELEY, CALIFORNIA, March 3, 2015 (Press Release): The Graduate Theological Union has introduced new degree options in Hindu Studies and Interreligious Studies for its Master of Arts program, and has extended the application deadline through July 1, 2015, for students seeking to enroll in these programs for the Fall 2015 semester.The Master of Arts with an area of concentration in Hindu Studies will be offered in connection with the GTU's newly established Hindu Studies Initiative. The primary foci for the program will be the study of Hindu philosophy of religion, theology, art, and sacred texts; Hinduism and world engagement in consideration of its historical and cultural contexts; and the interrelationships of Hinduism with other Indic Dharma faiths--particularly Jainism and Indian Buddhism. In accordance with the interreligious environment of the GTU, the Hindu ethos will be studied in dialogue with other religious traditions, in order to deepen understanding and relationships amongst cultures and faiths while honoring the distinctiveness of each religion. With this new degree option, the GTU becomes one of the first masters programs in North America with a clear focus on Hindu Philosophy of Religion and Theology (which integrates art and music), as well as engaged Hinduism.GTU will also offer a Certificate in Hindu Studies which can count toward later graduate studies. The most important Endowed Lectureship of the GTU Berkeley is the Singh Lecture Series in Comparative Religious Thought. It is known as the "Flagship" GTU lecture. This is an annual lecture delivered by an invited eminent scholar. Renowned authors, poets, professors and public intellectuals have given this lecture, which is shared across the academy.The 2015 GTU "Flagship" lecture will be delivered by a Hindu scholar to promote and announce the groundbreaking Hindu Studies initiative at the GTU, on April 10th, 2015 at the Doug Adams Gallery in Berkeley. Professor Anantanand Rambachan, an expert in Vedanta, and Indian Philosophy of Religion will deliver the GTU 2015 Singh lecture to celebrate the development of the world's most ancient and vibrant spiritual tradition at the nation's singular and eminent interreligious graduate university.

Japan just got its sixth new leader in five years. Yoshihiko Noda replaced Naoto Kan, who was forced out after 14 tumultuous months, in which Japan was brought low by an earthquake and tsunami. Mr Noda pulled off what supporters call a miracle by winning the leadership race in the ruling Democratic Party of Japan. Will he pull of another by staying in office longer than either of his five predecessors?
The Economist welcomes your views. Please stay on topic and be respectful of other readers. Review our comments policy.
...ANY of his FIVE predecessors...
...EITHER of his TWO predecessors...
You can't say... EITHER of his FIVE predecessors
Ok, I'm feeling a bit petty right now, so I will point out that the economist has made an error in the question, you see, 'either' can be with reference to just two people. When we are talking about 5 people, the correct word would probably be 'any'.
And now to the question on hand. I do not think popularity has anything to do with this. The lows that Japan has seen in recent months, it is not likely that they want any more turbulence, especially the political kind. He'll here to stay for some time.
He is new and unproven, I would err on the side of caution and say that he would last two years at most until we see what he is like.
This guy is different!
Probably not, there will be a new one next year. -_-
This is getting a sour joke, but politic people seem to enjoy trashing the head of the government every year.
You have to vote no. There's no reason to believe that this trend won't continue.
Me Noda probably is more understood from usa. I Hope Japanese will be more close to )we wstablishment in order to increase new rise of Japan. Hope and good will must be the engine of Nods and his staff.
... staying in office longer than EITHER of his five predecessors???
On the one hand: Yes. On the other hand: No. But I am not sure any of my hands have it right.
Of course and beyond question, I give Yoshihiko Noda 100% possibility that he can finish his tenure until July 2013 since the first day when Mr. Noda disclosed his willingness of succeeding Naoto Kan to Finacial Times.
Although Mr. Noda's political experience is fewer than these five incumbents, Liberal Democratic Party is hard to overthrow him or there is no stronger figure than him. Second, Noda has put forward the idea that LDP or other parties' assmbly can join in the cabinet working together. This mechanism might have been keeping the political arena peaceful and stable. And after the 311 Eastearn Japan-Quake, rebuilding the economy and letting Japanese regain their confidence is the long-term scheme in addition to recovering the disastrous areas.
On the other side, with his background of finance, at least he carries out his routine and doesn't suffer any unfortunate accident like 2008's Japan Airline or political donation's scandal of Yukio Hatoyama, or social welfare's argument against LDP of Naoto Kan, and Mr. Noda must hold the power continuously. And the dispute of Futenma, the United State's Okinawa military base, is going to soothe through the accord between these two countries. Compared with LDP, DPJ believing Fabianism exercises moderate political plan for Japanese. So I think that after he meets America's President Barack Obama in several weeks, he can attend the summit of East Asia chatting with South Korea's President Lee Myung-Bak and my boss, Le Kai-Qiang, who is destined to succeed China's Prime Minister Wen Jia-Bao more than twice.
Noda is a slightly more capable candidate coming in at an even rougher time period. Disaster after disaster is falling upon Japan, and I wish any man taking over good luck in running this unfortunate yet economically strong country.
Accordingly, Noda has shown a good amount of admiration and respect towards the United States. He knows China building up its military, so he is engaging with a large amount of trade and diplomacy with the USA. From the USA's point of view, Noda's a treat. An economically strong country such as Japan becoming an increasing friend of ours is great news. Noda has also moved to restart the nuclear power plants which were offline because of the Fukishama disaster... hopefully a movement like this will make things easier for Japan in a difficult time. As a prime minister, he has thrown no curve balls thus far. Everything he said he would do, he has done. He is a capable minister and I hope as an American he does well and Japan begins to flourish (and for gods sake i hope they dont have to deal with anymore natural disasters). Ill give him an 85% chance of lasting longer then the previous 6 incumbents.
I give him 60% chance of coming up with an agreement with LDP to hold off elections until July 2013, because only decisive result for either party can come from a simultaneous election for both houses at that time. LDP should be really careful what they wish for, since an early election may saddle them with slim majority in the Lower house and NO majority in the upper one, enabling the DPJ to turn the tables on them...

... heavily on the whole 'historic route 66' thing, and it was certainly a touristy kind of place but it wasn't all t-shirt shops like it might have been. There were lots of cool buildings and shops owned by Native Americans; there were train tracks there with some old trains, a zip line for some reason, and several interesting restaurants and what not. The main thing that interested me was the old architecture, the hills above the town with the pines, and the cool small town vibe. ...

Palatini variation
In general relativity and gravitation the Palatini variation is nowadays thought of as variation of a Lagrangian with respect to the connection. In fact, as is well known, the Einstein-Hilbert action for general relativity was first formulated purely in terms of the spacetime metric . In the Palatini variational method one takes as independent field variables not only the ten components but also the forty components of the affine connection , assuming, a priori, no dependence of the from the and their derivatives.
The reason that Palatini variation is considered important is that it means that the use of the Christoffel connection in general relativity does not have to be added as a separate assumption, the information is already in the Lagrangian. For theories of gravitation which have more complex lagrangians than the Einstein-Hilbert Lagrangian of general relativity Palatini variation sometimes gives more complex connections and sometimes tensorial equations.
Attilio Palatini (1889-1949) was an Italian mathematician who received his doctorate from the University of Padova, where he studied under Levi-Civita and Ricci-Curbastro.
The history of the subject, and Palatini's connection with it, is not straightfoward, see the references. In fact, it seems that what the textbooks now call Palatini formalism was actually invented in 1925 by Einstein and as the years passed people tended to mix up the Palatini identity and the Palatini formalism.

Suicide bomber strikes Sunni mosque in the heart of Damascus, dealing blow to regime
Syria is widely believed to have a large stockpile of chemical weapons. And, there are fears Assad would use those weapons against his people. There are also concerns that al-Qaeda-linked rebels might obtain and use them.
The war, which the U.N. says has killed more than 70,000 people, has become increasingly chaotic as rebels press closer to Assad's seat of power in Damascus after seizing large swaths of territory in the northern and eastern parts of the country.
On Thursday, rebels captured a village and other territory on the edge of the Golan Heights as fighting closed in on the strategic plateau that Israel captured from Syria in 1967 and later annexed, activists and officials said.
The battles near the town of Quneitra in southwest Syria sent many residents fleeing, including dozens who crossed into neighboring Lebanon. The fighting in the sensitive area began Wednesday near the cease-fire line between Syrian and Israeli troops.
One of the worst-case scenarios for Syria's civil war is that it could draw in neighboring countries such as Israel or Lebanon.
There have already been clashes with Turkey, Syria's neighbor to the north. And Israel recently bombed targets inside Syria said to include a weapons convoy headed for Hezbollah in Lebanon, a key ally of the Damascus regime and an archfoe of the Jewish state.
If the rebels take over the Quneitra region, it will bring radical Islamic militants to a front line with Israeli troops.

Will Ivy go dormant and come back in spring?
mizcupcakeOctober 23, 2009
I have some planters that I brought in from my deck...they have some ivy, grasses, geraniums and potato vine. As in other years I will store these in the crawl space and restart them in March but the ivy was a new addition this year and am wondering if it will live by going dormant.
Thanks so much for any advice? Brenda

It depends on the ivy
It depends on the ivy
I have ivy that comes back and it has a really tough woody stem, so I don't even bring it in, but have had some in planters in the past - a German Ivy which is tender and must be overwintered in side. I never let it go dormant, but kept on watering it. Then in the early spring, cut off pieces, rooted them and set them outside again. A lot of bother for a cheap plant, but a good challenge anyway

Four of the severely injured shifted to KGH
Five persons were injured, four of them severely, in a fire that broke out due to gas leak on the first floor of a house at Gollallapalem near Singh Hotel junction on Thursday.
Gas leaked at the house of Ch. Vamsi Krishna Rao (30). His family members woke up at around 7.30 a.m. on Thursday and realised that gas was leaking from the cylinder. Fire broke out as soon as V. Vijaya (40) put on the light switch. Krishna, Vijaya (40), Sai (14), and Sravani (13) were severely injured and K. Ramana (25) sustained simple injuries in the blast.
They were shifted to the King George Hospital for treatment. Assistant District Fire Officer Ch. Krupavaram visited the blast site. "The fire was put off with a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher. Ramana jumped from the first floor and managed to escape with simple injuries," said Station Fire Officer M. Sanjeeva Rao.
In a cylinder blast at Dolphin School, Seethammadhara, the walls of the watchman's room below the stairway were partially damaged. Luckily, there was no one in the room and the school was closed for Pongal holidays. There were no casualties.

Do you like bread pudding?
Are you lazy and/or impatient?
They are the most genitalia and sex obsessed group of people I have ever encountered.
And that's saying a lot.
They scream "small government" and run on a platform of jobs. Then since 2010, ten states have banned abortion past 20 weeks. When none had a ban before. And how many jobs bills have they proposed? Try zero.
I wrote this 8 months ago & it sat as a draft.
But published it today as it is sadly still relevant.
So that's really all I have to say.

It's Sunday night, 1am, and Toby has finally settled down. He has two different types of cancer, end stage, and is rapidly declining. It's sad really that his appetite is fantastic, always has been, but after he eats he's uncomfortable, nausea and pain for hours. He can't find a comfortable position. We try all sorts of things. It's never the same. His regimen of medications is extensive. His prescription diet is not cheap. I've been averaging five hours of sleep, interrupted, for a month now. I'm used to operating on little sleep. Insomnia has been an issue for me for years. But stressors push me off balance. And this- caring for my terminal pet- is most definitely a stressor. I'm not complaining, mind you. But the fact is that caring for a terminally ill pet is a lot of work. And it can be hard. As a house call veterinarian who sees a lot of palliative and end of life appointments, I have this conversation on almost a daily basis in some form with my clients. Is he in pain? What is going to happen? How long does he have? How will I know when it is time? Am I being fair to him? Everyone asks those questions, including me. And I don't know the answer to most of them. And that drives me crazy.
Cancer is an evil thing. I'm watching the effects of it on Toby, who has gone from a chubby 20 pound french bulldog to 14 pounds. His favorite thing in the world is eating and his appetite is still strong. But he is painful and nauseous for hours after every meal. That is part of the evilness of it all. His favorite thing-eating- causes him discomfort and pain. Some nights are quiet and I am thankful for those. Others are not and one of us holds him for hours. He is normally very stoic, so I know he is very uncomfortable. And he gets so upset and anxious. And he isn't an anxious dog. And I know I am doing everything I can to help. And I know it is getting worse. And I don't know how long we can keep doing this. And of course, as soon as I have those thoughts he has a few good days in a row. So I am taking the approach of taking it one day at a time. Or at least trying.
I'm not very good at that.
One thing that has been helpful is keeping a journal. Recording his meals, his meds, his symptoms, his vitals, poos and pees, etc. He could have a very eventful or stressful day but a week later I won't remember the details. Recording things helps keep it all together for the big picture. And you can find patterns. And gradual changes will be clearer and more visible. It helps me determine where he is, where he seems to be going, and what we can do to help him along the way. The thing I have to remember, that we all have to remember, is that they will keep going. They will keep trying. And when we can tell they are sick, they really don't feel well. The big question is always… when do we stop? When are we doing it just for us. When are we not being fair to him? And that's a hard one.
He still skips around a bit. Not nearly as much as he used to. But he does.
He cuddles. And just wants to sleep next to someone.
And when he is uncomfortable, he seeks attention and wants to be held. And he does seem to respond and settle down.
But it's so hard to see him feeling so bad. Every day. Triggered by meals- his favorite thing.
And he is weak in the rear end. And occasionally incontinent.
And he is so skinny. He's lost 25% of his body weight. He is losing weight no matter how much he eats.
And he gets so anxious. So, so anxious, when he's feeling sick. It breaks my heart.
The pomeranian & the cat sleep next to him more and now groom him. They know something is different too.
So when my clients look at me and ask those questions, I answer as honestly as I can. And it depends on the pet and the client and the situation, of course, but I know how badly everyone wants to know. And I know how it feels to just want someone to tell you that you are doing the right thing. Every day I hear that now and I think of Toby. And I talk to my clients about him because I can relate. Most people think it must be hard to do that kind of work, especially right now. I don't think it is hard at all. Sad and challenging sometimes, yes. But it is one of the most rewarding aspects of what I do.
I've been through this part of having a pet before. This part is so hard and sad. It isn't new to me. But it's never easier. Going through it now gives me a different perspective, or at least a fresh perspective on this part of it all. It allows me to relate on a more personal level with my clients. I think it helps them not feel so alone. I know those appointments help me not feel so alone. I see what people will do for their pets. I see all of the factors that have to be considered. I see the heartache every day.
Every day.
I feel it's my job now to provide information, compassion, and dignity. If more can be done, I let people know. If it can't, I help people figure out what can be done at home to provide time and comfort, for as long as possible. And what that looks like. And where is the line that shouldn't get crossed for that pet. And I try to objectively help people figure out where that line needs to be. And how to be ready to make a decision that palliative care is no longer best for the pet. When does uncomfortable become suffering? I ask Toby that every day. If he could talk, that'd be really helpful. Instead, I use my judgment. He has such a sweet face. And it breaks my heart that we have reached this point. I look at how he is and I know that when he declines again, he won't be able to sustain a comfortable life. I don't know when that day will be. I look at him and I can't bear the thought of him being in pain, unhappy, suffering. I look at him and I can't bear the thought of losing him. Of him being gone. Both such sad scenarios. But one ends the pain for him. And that's the only kind thing I have left to offer.
So I know we are going down that road. I don't know how long that road is going to be. Or what we'll encounter. I just know I love him. And I'm thankful to him for being in my life and for reminding me what my clients are feeling, and helping me connect in those moments just a little more. I try to look at it as a gift. I won't be taking anything away except pain and discomfort that can't be fixed. But until then, we take it one day at a time. What matters most is what we do for them at the end. And if I can help that be less scary or painful or stressful or uncomfortable, then it is my honor to do it. For Toby or for anyone. And now, at 2:00am, he is snoring by my side, so all is well.
I don't know about you but I'm sick of the GOP bullshit. Someone blatantly falsified White House e-mails & then released them to the press. I smell a rat in Congress. A line has been crossed. I demand answers. Join me. Sign the petition for an investigation. Americans deserve the truth.
Here's a collection of quotes of things that God does not like from the Bible: I'll give my summary or example at the beginning of each one, followed by the actual quote. And then you'll get a bit of commentary. Hey it's my blog. No one's making you read this. (Except my partner who I make proofread everything- sorry sweetie… ) So, here we go! A quick summary of God's immutable rules:
Having slaves is cool as long as you buy them locally: Leviticus 25:44: "Both your male and female slaves, whom you shall have, shall be of the nations that are round about you; of them shall you buy male and female slaves."
No tattoos or piercings: Leviticus 19:28: "Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD." (So that Jesus tattoo on your arm was a bit misguided.)
Don't wear cotton-poly blends: Deuteronomy 22:11: "Do not wear clothes of wool and linen woven together." (I told you to rethink that jacket.)
Yes, you can sell your daughter as a slave but she will never be freed like your son might: Exodus 21:7: ""When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are" (Good to know during recessions like this.)
Just don't go anywhere near a woman when she is having her period: Lev. 15: 19-24: "'When a woman has her regular flow of blood, the impurity of her monthly period will last seven days, and anyone who touches her will be unclean till evening. Anything she lies on during her period will be unclean, and anything she sits on will be unclean. Anyone who touches her bed will be unclean; they must wash their clothes and bathe with water, and they will be unclean till evening. Anyone who touches anything she sits on will be unclean; they must wash their clothes and bathe with water, and they will be unclean till evening. Whether it is the bed or anything she was sitting on, when anyone touches it, they will be unclean till evening. If a man has sexual relations with her and her monthly flow touches him, he will be unclean for seven days; any bed he lies on will be unclean." (They really want to make sure you know not to go near a woman who is having her period.)
No working on Sunday: Exodus 35:15: "For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day must be put to death." (So pray you don't get the Sunday shift at StarBucks- it's death for you!)
Don't eat shellfish: Lev. 11:10: "But whatever is in the seas and in the rivers that does not have fins and scales among all the teeming life of the water, and among all the living creatures that are in the water, they are detestable things to you, and they shall be abhorrent to you; you may not eat of their flesh, and their carcasses you shall detest. 12'Whatever in the water does not have fins and scales is abhorrent to you." (So, sorry, no more Red Lobster for you!)
Don't shave your head or beard: Lev. 21:5: " They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard." (Vin Diesel has some repenting to do.)
Women who have slept with another dude are off limits: Lev. 21:7: " They shall not take a wife that is a whore, or profane; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband: for he is holy unto his God." (Too bad this one isn't enforced- the Kardashians wouldn't be able to continue procreating.)
If you're a preacher's daughter that has sex outside wedlock, you'll be burned to death: Lev. 21:9: "And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire."
Only marry a woman who is a virgin: Lev. 21:14: "A widow, or a divorced woman, or profane, or an harlot, these shall he not take: but he shall take a virgin of his own people to wife." (Funny that again, it's just women who must be a virgins-I wonder why God is so concerned with women's sex lives but not men's?)
If you've got almost any kind of physical deformity, you can't approach the altar of the Lord- sorry: Lev: 21: 18-21: "For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous, Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded, Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken; No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God." (Funny how that seems to directly contradict what Jesus taught.)
Don't eat rabbit or pork- or touch a football: Lev. 11:6-8: "And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you. Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you." (So much for Easter Sunday- ham and football- both forbidden.)
Mules are unholy. Don't mix crops in your field: Lev. 19:19: "Keep my decrees. "Do not mate different kinds of animals. Do not plant your field with two kinds of seed." (These are just random and weird.)
Anyone who takes the Lord's name in vain shall be stoned by the entire community: Lev. 24:13-16: "Then the Lord said to Moses: Take the blasphemer outside the camp. All those who heard him are to lay their hands on his head, and the entire assembly is to stone him. Say to the Israelites: 'Anyone who curses their God will be held responsible; anyone who blasphemes the name of the Lord is to be put to death. The entire assembly must stone them. Whether foreigner or native-born, when they blaspheme the Name they are to be put to death." (Seems harsh.)
Mediums/fortunetellers should be stoned: Leviticus 20:27: "A man or a woman who acts as a medium or fortuneteller shall be put to death by stoning; they have no one but themselves to blame for their death." (Bad news for Dionne Warwick.)
Also, apparently, if you've ever called Dionne Warwick, you're in kinda big trouble too: Leviticus 19:31 "Do not turn to mediums or spiritists; do not seek them out to be defiled by them. I am the Lord your God." The penalty for that? Lev.20:6: "As for the person who turns to mediums and to spiritists, to play the harlot after them, I will also set My face against that person and will cut him off from among his people."
Hitting your parents is punishable by death: Exodus 21:15: "Whoever strikes his father or mother shall be put to death." (although I'd think he'd create a loophole for Tatum O'Neal and Lindsay Lohan.)
If another country disagrees with you religiously, it's ok to invade them and kill them all. In fact, God will be happy about that: Deuteronomy 13:13-19: "Suppose you hear in one of the towns the LORD your God is giving you that some worthless rabble among you have led their fellow citizens astray by encouraging them to worship foreign gods. In such cases, you must examine the facts carefully. If you find it is true and can prove that such a detestable act has occurred among you, you must attack that town and completely destroy all its inhabitants, as well as all the livestock. Then you must pile all the plunder in the middle of the street and burn it. Put the entire town to the torch as a burnt offering to the LORD your God. That town must remain a ruin forever; it may never be rebuilt. Keep none of the plunder that has been set apart for destruction. Then the LORD will turn from his fierce anger and be merciful to you. He will have compassion on you and make you a great nation, just as he solemnly promised your ancestors. "The LORD your God will be merciful only if you obey him and keep all the commands I am giving you today, doing what is pleasing to him." (I think we might still be taking this one too literally.)
Cursing God's name is punishable by death: Leviticus 24:10-16: "Any Israelite or foreigner among you who blasphemes the LORD's name will surely die." (Death for saying Goddammit. Wow.)
If someone goes against God, kill not only him, but all men, women, children, and animals around him: 1 Samuel 15:2-3: "I will punish what Amalek did to Israel when he barred his way as he was coming up from Egypt. Go, now, attack Amalek, and deal with him and all that he has under the ban. Do not spare him, but kill men and women, children and infants, oxen and sheep, camels and asses." (Mass murder as punishment for one guy's sin. What could possibly be wrong about that?)
If someone asks you to hit them and you don't, you'd better hope God wasn't commanding you through them or a lion's gonna kill you ass: 1 Kings 20:35-36: "Meanwhile, the LORD instructed one of the group of prophets to say to another man, "Strike me!" But the man refused to strike the prophet. Then the prophet told him, "Because you have not obeyed the voice of the LORD, a lion will kill you as soon as you leave me." And sure enough, when he had gone, a lion attacked and killed him." (I just like this one because it's bizarre and features death by lion. WTF?)
If you're having sex with your brother's wife, and you, ya know, pull out early to avoid getting her pregnant, God will be displeased with you (bc you didn't get her pregnant) and make you suicidal: Genesis 38:9-10: "Onan knew that the offspring would not be his; so when he went in to his brother's wife, he wasted his seed on the ground in order not to give offspring to his brother. But what he did was displeasing in the sight of the Lord; so He took his life also." (OK. This is my favorite. Really? If you're gonna screw your brother's wife, make sure you inseminate her with your sperm. Really?)
If your junk is deformed, you can't come to God's altar. Sorry dude: Deuteronomy 23:1 reads (this is the God's Word translation, which spells it out better), "A man whose testicles are crushed or whose penis is cut off may never join the assembly of the Lord."
If you're an illegitimate child or a descendant to anyone who was, you can not approach God's altar: Deuteronomy 23:2 reads, "No one of illegitimate birth shall enter the assembly of the Lord; none of his descendants, even to the tenth generation, shall enter the assembly of the Lord." (Sorry Oprah. No praying at the altar for you. Or any of your descendants.)
Ladies- all that jewelry and those braids. God isn't a fan- : Timothy 2:9: "Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments." (Only pertains to women so I guess Mr. T is ok- except for the shaved head.)
Anyone who is divorced and remarried is an adulterer. (Not such good news when you see Leviticus' punishment for adulterers below): Mark 10:11-12, "And He said to them, 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her; and if she herself divorces her husband and marries another man, she is committing adultery." (Rush should have been stoned 3 times by now.)
Adultery is punishable by death: Leviticus 20:10: "If a man commits adultery with another man's wife, both the man and the woman must be put to death." (Ergo: Newt Gingrich and Calista Gingrich must be put to death.)
Don't argue with priests or judges. Ever: Deuteronomy 17:12: "Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge or of the priest who represents the LORD your God must be put to death. Such evil must be purged from Israel." (So… don't question authority?…)
If you are in a fight with another dude, and your wife tries to protect you and she touches the other guy's junk, even accidentally, you've got to cut off her hand: Deuteronomy 25:11-12: "If two men, a man and his countryman, are struggling together, and the wife of one comes near to deliver her husband from the hand of the one who is striking him, and puts out her hand and seizes his genitals, then you shall cut off her hand; you shall not show pity." (That's just weird. I mean, how did THAT rule come about?)
Mind your angry oxen: Exodus 21:29: "If you are an ox that has attacked a person once already or if you are its owner and it kills someone the ox shall be stoned, and his owner also shall be put to death."
And finally, the most famous one of all, the one that is the word of God, even when all of the above are ignored on a daily basis: Leviticus 20:13: "If a man lies with a male as with a women, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives." (Interesting women lying with women isn't mentioned at all- free pass for lesbians? or maybe women just didn't matter in that society…?)
Just to be clear, Jesus never said a word about homosexuality. Only the old testament. Which dictated most of the rules above. He did say a lot about the hungry and poor, though…
Also, let's note what activities are punishable by death according to the Bible:
Working on the Sabbath
Not crying out while being raped
A woman not being a virgin on the night of her wedding
Worshiping other gods
Taking the LORD's name in vain or cursing his name
Cursing a parent
Homosexuality (but only male)
A woman speaking in church
Being a psychic or spiritualist
Lying about virginity (women)
Not penning up a known dangerous bull
Sexual activity with a woman who is menstruating (possibly- so why chance it)
Raping a virgin who is engaged (if she's not engaged, you can just pay her father and it's fine)
Being a rebellious son
Also- not necessarily capital offenses (depending on the source) but definitely not OK with God:
Consuming blood, including blood in meat
Cooking a goat in its mother's milk
Eating fat
Eating pork
Eating a meat more than three days old
Eating shellfish
Consuming the meat of strangled animals
Consulting a psychic or spiritualist
Planting more than one kind of seed in a field
Wearing clothing woven of more than one kind of cloth
Cutting the hair on the sides of your head or clipping of the edges of your beard
Touching the dead carcass of a pig
Disobedience by slaves
So it looks like it's not only the gays that need to be concerned. In fact, given that there's really only one line in the Bible about homosexuality, some of those other things on the list are actually more thoroughly reviled by God. So when you're about to go get your Jesus tattoo, just remember, you're no better than the gays.
I have a hypothesis I want to run by you. It's kind of out there, but just read the whole thing before you decide whether or not you think it's bullshit. Then, if at the end you still do, go ahead and tell me. That's fair.
First I should start by saying I consider myself agnostic. What I mean by that is that I don't know whether or not there is a God, but I don't believe in the one defined by modern Christianity… ie…the Bible is the Word of God. I believe it's a moral code. And I don't know whether it was inspired by any greater being or not. But if it was, I'm about to propose the God I would believe in and a church I would attend.
First we just have to assume that a God exists. What if God inspired the Bible all that time ago with the intention that we would take it, read it, consider society at the time it was written, learn from science over thousands of years, and then develop our own moral code, informed by facts and history, as our society matured? I know that's crazy talk. It means that instead of being a narcissistic power freak, God would be a kind and teaching God. He would give us the room to evolve and grow as our understanding of the world grew. He wouldn't hold us to some set of standards developed by men thousands of years ago… when slavery was normal, women were property, our understanding of science and the world was minuscule. I mean, we thought the world was flat until someone figured out it wasn't. But the Bible said it was. How do you explain that? I can't.
I'd like to think that if there is a God, he isn't worried about whether I'm eating pork or shellfish, crushing on my neighbor's wife, or attracted to the same sex. I think he's hoping we all figure out how to live together without murder, rape, robbery. He's hoping we just aren't assholes. He's hoping we keep in mind the things that are really important- the things Jesus taught: Love. Forgiveness. Compassion. Peace. Maybe he's hoping we'll figure out how to work together, in communities, and possibly with structured governments to ensure everyone is cared for? I know. Crazytalk.
I'd like to think if there is a God, he's hoping we take everything he's given us- life and a moral code… and also science and evidence… and putting it all together to create and even broader understanding of life. But we don't seem to be doing that. We just seem as a society to be using the Bible to condemn people we don't agree with. Meanwhile we ignore the parts of the Bible that condemn the things we think are OK. How is that following his word?
I don't think it is.

I refuse to list my qualities, most people...
I refuse to list my qualities, most people write what sounds good so I insist you figure it out for yourself. I've only posted current pics and interests that I keep up with. If you have up pictures from High School or say you go hiking because your dad took you once when you were a kid, you're lying. Don't misrepresent yourself, just saying. Music, food and travel should be high on your list. I haven't done much international traveling yet (just Canada and Costa Rica) mostly because almost all my friends are now married, have kids or just don't share the same enthusiasm. So what I'm looking for is someone who has that enthusiasm, has their own dream destinations and is willing to work for them. Someone who doesn't mind going to see some music they've never heard of or trying to make a fancy dinner you saw on some cooking show. If your still reading it means that your not just shopping for a face that you think will look good next to yours. Obviously there is more to me than what you're reading here on match.com so if you want to know more then you know what to do. On a final note I'm a sucker for a sweetheart and appreciate a someone who can balance work and play. So there it is....... let me know...

Crime spike down, say police
A wave of break-ins and property theft that peaked earlier this month has dropped substantially, says Alice Springs Police.

A crime spike that saw 40 reports of property crime in a week seems to have abated, say police.
Earlier this month, police say they received 40 reports from members of the public about property crime, but the following week the number of reports fell to five.
Detective Senior Sergeant Peter Malley says the numbers over the last two months show the surge.
"Over the last eight weeks...we had 11, 4, 8, 6, 9, 9, 15 and then 40, and now we're back to five again," he says.
Mr Malley says Eastside, not usually a target for property crime, was hit particularly hard during the crime wave.
Eastside resident Robyn Delaney was one of those broken into earlier this month.
She says her wallet and phone were stolen out of her bag while she was hosting a dinner party.
"We had a couple of friends over for dinner ...and when I went looking for my wallet and phone...I couldn't find it," she says.
"It turned out that despite the fact that we had crimsafe doors, we'd unluckily left them unlocked..."
Robyn says she's heard multiple stories of break-ins around town in recent weeks.
"Our neighbors got broken into the next night, the neighbors across the road were done two days after that, someone else up the street...someone tried to break into their car and a couple of streets away in a different suburb, friends have been broken into twice now."
Sgt Malley says reports of unlawful entry and property theft peaked during the week of the NAB football match.
"With the football we probably experienced at least another 5000 visitors to town so with that came some crime," he says.
However, of the forty people currently under arrest for these offences, Sgt Malley says half are local offenders known to police.
"We have another two [offenders] in the cells at the moment so we're up over 40 arrests for 110 offences at this stage," he says.
Sgt Malley says the arrests are the result of a recent operation, 'Strike Force Vega', which has been targeting property crime over the last three weeks.
He says residents can help police by being vigilant.
"Because we live in a small town people do leave their doors open and their windows open...][but ] please lock your doors, please close and lock your windows," he says.
"Sensor lights are fantastic, big dogs are also fantastic, security screens...if you're inside your house, don't leave your car keys sitting on the bench or hanging next to the fridge -take them to the bedroom with you or hide them somewhere."
