Brief SummaryRead full entry
Diversity of Living Giraffidae (Giraffe and Okapi)
The family Giraffidae is one of a number of families in the mammal order Artiodactyla (even-toed ungulates). There are just two living species, the Giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis) and the Okapi (Okapia johnstoni). Giraffes occur in a patchy distribution in savannas across parts of sub-Saharan Africa. Okapi are endemic to the forests of DR Congo.
Giraffes are the tallest mammals in the world. At birth, they stand between 1.5 and 1.8 m; at maturity, females may reach 4.5 to 5 m and males 5 to 6 m. Body mass at birth is around 100 kg (less in captive animals). Body mass of mature females can reach 1100 kg and mature males can reach 1500 kg. Giraffes have very long necks although, like nearly all other mammals, they have just seven cervical vertebrae—their cervical vertebrae are very long (as are their lower leg bones). The neck is held upright when a Giraffe walks, but stretched forward when it is running or moving uphill. A variety of morphological and physiological adaptations related to blood flow prevent problems from arising when the Giraffe lowers and raises its neck (e.g., to drink).
Okapi are secretive forest-dwellers that have been known to science only since 1901 (although they were already familiar to local indigenous people). They share some evident similarities with Giraffes, but bear an overall resemblance to some of the larger antelope species. In contrast to Giraffes, Okapi females are taller and more massive than males.
Ecology and Behavior
The structure of a Giraffe herd is fluid and the same individuals rarely stay together for long. Females and young are usually found in a herd together; younger males may form bachelor herds. Mature bulls are generally solitary, although they may join a temporary harem of females. Unlike Giraffes, which are not territorial, Okapi of both sexes hold territories.
The Giraffe is one of just two ungulate species known to have a gestation period longer than a year (450 days). In the wild, females become mature at 4 to 5 years. When her young is born (usually just one), a female may produce 10 liters of milk each day. Giraffe milk is richer in fat and protein than that of dairy cows. The gestation period for Okapi is shorter than that of Giraffes, around 14 months.
Giraffes are almost exclusively browsers. Acacia leaves are a major component of Giraffe diets, as are Combretum trees. Giraffes favor food plants rich in calcium and phosphorus, which are important in building their large skeletons. Giraffes use their powerful prehensile tongues to pull shoots and twigs into their mouths, where leaves are stripped off between the lower teeth and the upper dental pad. The tongue is very rough and Giraffes are reported to munch fully hardened thorns, although they prefer to feed on vegetation without thorns. Okapi feed on plants in their forest habitat. They use their prehensile tongues to strip leaves from branches and bring them into the mouth. An Okapi's tongue is so long it can wash its eyelids and ears with it.
Although Giraffes are generally able to survive on the water content of their food, when water is accessible they tend to come to drink at intervals of three days or less. Drinking Giraffes, with head lowered and forelegs splayed, are particularly vulnerable to predators.
Within historical times, Giraffes were widely distributed throughout Africa, but never in the tropical rainforest of the Congo River, which is home to the Okapi. The Giraffe's current distribution is far smaller than it once was and very patchy, but Giraffes can be found in a range of dry savanna habitats, from scrub to woodland, and are closely associated with acacia thornveld, as well as deciduous woodland tree species.
Male Giraffes often fight, striking one another with their necks and heads. These bouts are generally highly ritualized in young males, causing no injury, but when they occur between mature bulls they tend to be more serious. Although it has been suggested that the long necks of Giraffes are a product of sexual selection in males, with longer and heavier necks being favored in the struggle among males for mating opportunities, necks of both sexes grow in length and mass at similar rates.
Communication among Giraffes seems to involve mainly vision and olfaction.
Conservation Status of Giraffes and Okapi
Although the Giraffe is listed on the IUCN Red List as Least Concern, it has declined dramatically over parts of its range, especially in West Africa. It is now extinct in many countries where it once occurred, including Burkina Faso, Eritrea, Guinea, Malawi, Mauritania, and Senegal (and possibly Mali and Nigeria). Some named subspecies are in trouble as well. The Okapi is listed by IUCN as Near Threatened, although given its secretive nature, an accurate population assessment is difficult. Habitat loss is a serious threat. Okapi were once present in Uganda (and possibly elsewhere) but are no longer believed to occur anywhere outside DR Congo.

Getting Washington-grown foods into schools is the goal of the annual Taste Washington Day, this year on Sept. 25.
The Washington State Department of Agriculture and the Washington School Nutrition Association invite both producers and schools to sign up for the event.
"We've been participating with the School Nutrition Association since 2010," said Acacia Larson, WSDA's outreach and education specialist. "We've had 50 farms in the past, and we'd like see that level of response again."
Success is not based on the number of participants, she said, and neither of the agencies dictates the arrangements between farmers and schools.
"We take farms that sign up and schools that want to participate and match them up," she said. "Schools take it from there. They send out lists of what they're looking for, gather the information and decide who they get the food from."
Sample menus include chicken with rice or roasted chicken, barbecue lentil loaf, roasted vegetables, sliced fresh vegetables, Moroccan carrot salad, dinner rolls, yogurt parfait with seasonal fruit and low-fat milk.
Schools and growers work out details, such as how much processing is required, Larson said. Some school districts have central kitchens, some have individual kitchens and some have very little available. They might work with a local processor who gets product from local growers.
Product prices are also determined by individual schools and individual growers. "Some farms bend over backward," she said. "They want to make sure kids are getting the product, and they're getting product into the school."
In general, delivery is the grower's responsibility. "That's one of the questions we ask farms," she said. "When talking with the schools, we can assess whether that farm is a good match."
The WSDA and the School Nutrition Association also encourage schools to include other activities, such as inviting a farmer to lunch, visiting a farm or farmers' market, or hosting local FFA students.
"We want Washington's kids to spend Taste Washington Day considering the farmers who grow their food," said Tricia Kovacs, outreach and education coordinator at WSDA.

Maybe, but arahant talk, remember things, have pertsonalities, so what does SN 22.36?Ñāṇa wrote:Well, according to SN 22.36 there is no relationship.tiltbillings wrote:I tried to make a point about the relationship of the arahant to the khandhas.
Of course; that is not in question, but arahants seem to do things that indicates some sort of intention going on.They still have eye-, ear-, nose-, tongue-, body- and mind-faculties. But there is no specific fabrication or volitional intention towards either existence or non-existence.tiltbillings wrote:Outside of not being conditioned by greed, hatred, and delusion do the living arahants see, hear, think, remember, talk, poop, walk somehow differently?
The text would always be good to have.Sure. But somewhere in the Aṅguttaranikāya there is a sutta which explains that with the remainderless passing away and cessation of ignorance there is no longer a fabricated body, voice, or mind conditioned by which pleasure or pain arise internally. My guess would be that this means that an arahant doesn't generate either kusala or akusala kamma.
My point is fairly simple: the arahant, while "emobodied" has to deal with the conditioned (in part by kamma) mind/body process, even though they are not identifying with it. It just goes with still being alive. That is it. That's the whole of what I am trying to say.At any rate, I haven't been paying attention to what it is that you guys are debating so I'll step aside.

You may not tell others, but you know you gained a few pounds during the holidays. You've resolved to eat better, exercise more, lose those holiday pounds and maybe even a couple more. But first, you have to figure out how.
If you want a little help and motivation, the Eat Smart, Move More, Weigh Less program offered by the N.C. Cooperative Extension in Brunswick County may be just what you need.
This class starts at 5:30 p.m.
Thursday, Jan. 10, at the Dinah E. Gore Fitness Center on the Brunswick Community College campus.

To start out the new year right, sign up for a gardening class at the community college and/or take a seminar offered by the Extension Center. There is always new information coming out that will help you with your gardening skills and it's a great way to meet more gardeners.
Fertilizer offers a wonderful boost to help your turf and your bedding plants to grow healthy and robust; however, fertilizer that falls on roadways will go directly into creeks, streams and rivers and can cause excessive aquatic plant growth.

If you would like to have an abundance of flowers without spending hours and hours on maintenance your wish is my command! Here are my tips for having a beautiful garden without investing a ton of time or money:
This past year I've frequently written in this column about food safety at home and in restaurants. This week I'm reviewing of the basic concepts by suggesting some "food safety" New Year resolutions that can help prevent you or a family member from getting a food-borne illness.
Another good thing: These resolutions may be easier to keep than most and they might save you a trip to the doctor or hospital.
•I will wash my hands and encourage kids to wash their hands before eating.
After scrounging around the kitchen for one last holiday goodie, you find a single sugar cookie hiding in the bottom tin. You grab it, and head toward the mountain of decorations that need to be packed away until next year. Several hours later, the last box has been shoved into the attic or garage.
Surveying the house, you see that all the gifts have been put away and everything appears to be back to normal…finally. And then you spot it, shouting at you from the bathroom floor…your old friend, the scale.
Eat a variety of foods from the protein foods group each week. Experiment with main dishes made with beans or peas, nuts, soy and seafood.
Choose lean or low-fat cuts of meat like round or sirloin and ground beef that is at least 90 percent lean. Trim or drain fat from meat and remove poultry skin.
Try grilling, broiling, roasting or baking. They don't add extra fat. Some lean meats need slow, moist cooking to be tender. Try a slow cooker for them. Avoid breading meat or poultry, which adds calories.

Combine annuals, bulbs, perennials and shrubs; no one plant should have to do all of the work. Plant your beds with a backbone of perennials, shrubs and bulbs. These plants provide permanent color in your garden. Leave some open spaces that you can fill with annuals for all-summer color. Because perennials, shrubs and bulbs don't need to be planted each year, spring planting takes less time.
Holidays are the time for traditions. Special holiday foods are some of the biggest traditions of all. Unfortunately, these foods may include some risky products or cooking methods that might result in a food-borne illness.
Salmonella food poisoning might happen after eating raw or undercooked eggs. Even eggs with clean, uncracked shells may occasionally contain the salmonella bacteria. Researchers say that, if present, most bacteria are usually in the yolk, but it also has been found in the white, but not as often.
Learn the right techniques for handling, preparing, serving and storing foods safely during the ServSafe Food Safety for Restaurant Managers class being offered in three sessions on Jan. 28, Feb. 4 and Feb. 11 at the Southport-Oak Island Area Chamber of Commerce, 4433 Long Beach Road in Southport. Classroom sessions will be from 12:30-4:30 p.m.
Students who successfully complete the class and exam will receive a certificate from the National Restaurant Association Education Foundation, which is often seen prominently displayed in restaurants.
Several days a week I meet a great group of women early in the morning for a one-hour walk. We've been doing this for more than five years and I highly recommend it.
Having friends to walk and talk with makes exercising easier. There's also that peer pressure that encourages me to get out of bed. It's also a great way to share ideas.
A couple of weeks ago, we were talking about Thanksgiving and all the food. Several commented that it's really hard to avoid all the excess food that's around during this season of the year.

Crestview residents have responded to the City Council�s inaction following a fast food restaurant developer�s request for tax relief.
Crestview residents have responded to the City Council�s inaction following a fast food restaurant developer�s request for tax relief.
The result among our readers is clear: Crestview wants Krystal back.
Our second most talked about report last week � on the restaurant�s construction being �in jeopardy� � drew often-harsh criticisms directed at anyone threatening the project�s progress.
However, the topic of who put the project on pause is debatable.
City leaders on April 8 unanimously approved locating the restaurant on State Road 85 across from Dunkin� Donuts.
Developers then said a 1,700-square-foot eatery � to open before August � would employ some 30 workers on the 1-acre site. Long-term plans included a 3,000-square-foot retail building across the parking lot.
Nevertheless, developers a month later expressed concern about a Florida Department of Transportation mandate that requires the restaurant�s owners to pay for turn lanes to the eatery.
Such infrastructure improvements would exceed the restaurant�s budget by $30,000, a Z Development Services spokesperson said before requesting tax relief.
That�s where the debate comes in.
Some people believe a fast food titan � reportedly worth $175 million, as of its 2012 sale to Atlanta investors � should be able to foot the bill; others say the city should OK the incentive because additional tax revenue eventually would boost city coffers.
That leaves the project in limbo � actually, �in jeopardy,� as developers said.
Remember: John and Joan Crestview didn�t put their savings into the lifelong dream of owning a restaurant franchise. Rather, The Krystal Co. wanted to bring a company-owned restaurant to Crestview and tapped Z Development Services for the job.
City Councilman Shannon Hayes has a point: Krystal probably could afford the extra $30,000.
Then again, cities anticipating additional tax revenue frequently offer businesses incentives.
Let�s hope this stalemate reaches a conclusion � soon � because a vocal majority of residents want more fast-food options.
However, more important is that Crestview could use 30 new jobs.

I live in the Bible Belt of North Carolina. There is a place called The Christian Family Book Store near me. I briefly had a girlfriend who worked there, so I visited several times. What I saw amazed me. In this weak economy, they had three cash registers with three lines of customers wrapped around the store all day, every day. The store sold Christian books, but also tons of "sanctified" household items. There were Jesus lamps, fish ashtrays, Jesus board games, and crosses painted on or attached to just about anything you can think of.
My point is, I could go to the Dollar Tree and fill my van with low budget items. By adding crosses, fish, or other Christian symbols to the items, I increase their value by ridiculous amounts. A three dollar hammer becomes a 18 dollar hammer. A five dollar broom becomes a 25 dollar broom.

GenGAME writes: "If the 'commotion' generated by Miiverse can really work effectively as a feedback mechanism, then that could be the path towards growth as Nintendo continues to refine its games' quality and appeal. If it does its job as a native marketing tool, Nintendo will be able to spread its software to players in a completely unprecedented way. Either way, Miiverse isn't just an online community; it's a new way for Nintendo to get people playing."
That would be amazing seeing as Miiverse looks to be the future and set new standards for the online gaming space. Pure innovation, combined with an already existing successful formula looks to be the golden ticked that Nintendo online has always needed. The complexity of this Elite service that was shown on Nintendo Direct several months ago looked nothing short of astonishing. A completely new way to enjoy our evolving hobby.
The Nintendo Wii U entertainment system looks to be doing everything right so far. Day one purchase for this amazing machine. Online gaming will never be the same again. Nintendo has always been a company for the people, with a never ending battle to get as many people to enjoy gaming as possible. Nintendo Miiverse looks to take that existing tradition to the next level with next generation connectivity.
Have a blessed day and happy gaming.
Rated E For Everyone
If the tablet could be taken anywhere and used to interact with Miiverse at anytime, then perhaps you could get somewhere. It would also help if Miiverse could be accessed from things like computers and smartphones.
Ease of use is the best way if Nintendo is actually serious about it.
It could work given the tablet and it's an added plus that what you have to say has a higher chance of being heard by Nintendo. Unfortunately, parental controls could sway people away from participating there more than in Internet forums.
Judging by what goes on at N4G...
That would be a definite mistake(I'm not against the proposition, though).
The only thing that worries me is that nintendo said it could take 30 minutes or more for the posts to get through

A latest survey showing that Vote Leave is points ahead dragged the British pound to 1.41 cents against a stronger US dollar. As the EU referendum approaches, the sterling is swaying nonstop due to voters' sentiment and the release of poll results after another.
TNS revealed yesterday that 47 percent of respondents wanted the UK to leave the EU, while only 40 percent wanted to remain a member of the bloc. GBP/USD fell to two-month lows.
UK inflation in May was also on the red, printing only a 0.3 percent rise, similar to the same period last year. Analysts were expecting a 0.4 percent growth. In m/m terms, CPI also disappointed as it climbed by 0.2 percent, missing the forecasted 0.3 percent. Transport costs rose by 0.9 percent in Mayi from the previous month but was offset by declines in food and clothing.
As we predicted, CPI didn't have significant effect on the sterling especially because a Brexit poll was released in the same day. The Bank of England's decision on its interest rate is next on the GBP's economic headline.
The USD performed slightly stronger than its counterparts with the release of positive retail sales which hit 0.5 percent m/m against a 0.3 percent forecast. Core retail sales was in line with expectations at 0.4 percent. Both exports and imports at 1.1 percent and 1.4 percent respectively eclipsed their forecasted rates.
Atlanta Fed upgraded its GDP forecast for Q2 to 2.8 percent from an initial estimate of 2.5 percent. Strong retail sales was also viewed as a signal that consumer expenditure will most likely print robust numbers.
We are looking at an immediate support of 1.4089 and 1.4040 subsequently, while resistance is at 1.4265 and 1.4350. The MACD indicator is in negative location. The spot exchange is at 1.4142 and rising.

Guys I am not allowed to debate. I cannot force you to believe anything I say. I can only plant a seed. God himself must make it grow. I can clarify anything I've said, but I don't see any questions being asked for clarification.
Quote from: nogodsforme on June 30, 2013, 03:17:17 PM1) Satan and his angels were created by god, so why are they bad?It seem that God prefers the company of independent thinkers over mindless slaves. I dunno why.
1) Satan and his angels were created by god, so why are they bad?
That leads me to think that you don't really know what you believe, but are repeating something you have been told.
When you try to mesh what you have been told about god, the world, and so forth with common sense reality, you end up sounding like you are making up stuff as you go along.
You talk about all the people who have ever lived being brought back to life, but there being no overcrowding....
What does that entail, please? What lessons are going to be taught by Jesus?
Which basically means you know deep down that if you debated us seriously, you'd risk losing your 'precious' faith.
That's why all you're willing to do is try to plant a seed. Imagine if farmers operated in a similar manner: "I'll just toss these seeds on the ground here and hope that God makes them grow."
Also, you're straying very close to preaching here. By declaring that you aren't willing to debate anything, only answer questions for clarification, you're expecting other people to listen to you but you aren't willing to do the same for them. That's practically the definition of preaching.
Here is where I have left a gap. I said everyone will be brought back to life, but not in an absolute sense. Many, but I don't know how many, will not be resurrected.
People on this thread are questioning if my statements are true and I am answering as best I can. Some of my statements have been opposed and I respond as I am doing now. That is different than debating. A two sided discussion is fine with me, but if it descends into pointless debate then I must obey God.

The goal of debates on forums like this is to win, but not necessarily to be right.
Seriously - read that above sentence. You've stripped the word 'resurrection' of any coherent meaning. Define 'resurrect' in some manner that makes the above sentence not a blatant disregard for basic logic.
Do you ever ask yourself if the statements you are making are true?
How will Jesus cure mental illness? Will he alter the genetic makeup that leads to schizophrenia? Will he regulate the brain chemicals that cause depression? Will he fill in the holes in the brain that cause dementia? Will he change the past events of a person so that they never experience the war trauma that led to PTSD?
Each time you make a statement, you just open up a whole new set of questions.....
^^^You obviously know nothing about the history of agriculture, how the domestication of animals happened or basically anything real on this planet. Do you really think that all the plants and animals (and viruses, insects and bacteria) on earth were put here to benefit human beings? Or are you going to try to argue that the things we like (puppies) were put here by god and the things we don't like (mosquitoes with the malaria virus) were put here by Satan?
I don't know the exact details......
How do you suppose he'd go about removing abuse, I wonder?
he will not judge as one having eyes that cannot see. He will know his people and he will know how to help them. And he will help them out of their weaknesses, all those that listen to his voice.
Sorry, what does that actually mean? Can you give an example?
It means disobediance comes in many shades and he will look beneath the surface just as he did while on earth. He will know the heart of a person just like he knew the heart of the criminal crucified next to him.....
But that's not what you said. You said "he knows how to help them" and "he will help them out of their weakness". And we were looking at this in the context of "how he would remove abuse". Very easy to move the goalposts when you don't quote the whole exchange.So - specifically - how will Jesus remove abuse, given that he "will know how to help them"?
.....Abusers that willingly participate will learn not to be abusers and will not abuse. Those that refuse to participate will be removed from the kingdom and will be returned to their state before resurrection. They will sleep in death forever.....
Oh dear - STILL not answering the question. Closest you have come is that bit I have bolded.What does that entail, please? What lessons are going to be taught by Jesus?(Why is it so hard to get a believer to answer a direct question?)
I don't know the exact details. I can only answer according to what I know. I know the Christ will have the same personality as he did while on earth, but he will not have to submit to higher man made authorities. I'm sure some miracles will occur but there will be no magic spell to take away our free will. His lessons will revolve around loving others. Probably there will be counselors since he has provided some in our current day. .....
My God does not approve of a sedentary lifestyle. It is he that provided man with the satisfaction of accomplishment. He provided the first human pair with worthwhile work to do. His children today have work to do. During the 1000 years there will be work to do. For one, the earth his not going to turn itself into a paradise. Those resurrected must be welcomed and instructed. It's not going to all be chaos or occur without our participation. There will be new divine instructions that will need to be learned. There will be no lack of things to do.
If ever there was a message God wants us to hear, it is this one and that of his sons sacrifice.

Quote from: jdawgDo you ever ask yourself if the statements you are making are true?Yes I wrestle with that every day. The last thing I want to do is spread lies about my God. That is why sometimes you're going to get the answer of "I don't know"
It is understandable that there are many problems that people have not been able to solve.
Frankly it frustrates me - not so much that they have a belief baed on faith (although it does), but that they feel the need to twist and squirm and obfuscate, and trot out the high-sounding statements that - when pressed - simply dissolve. Maybe its a defense mechanism, I don't know.
Apparently, we have to make up anything that makes sense, from the prime directive: Love Thy Neighbour. Paul got it right, when he said "For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." After that, it was all down hill.
So why not just say 'not everyone will be resurrected'? You mean 'not everyone', so just say 'not everyone'. Why say "Everyone will be resurrect, but I don't actually mean everyone. Some people won't. But I want to use the word 'everyone' just because, even though I mean the opposite of the word 'everyone'."
And if god wanted you to spread lies about him/her/it, would you be able to tell?
So....Jst, how long before you become a non believer? I sense by your questions and replies that you're getting close to being rational.
... I am not fully convinced in my own mind. .... I often feel like they avoid me.

Maybe its a defense mechanism, I don't know.I understand your sentiment. My goal is not to mislead. And before I say, "I don't know" I want to give voice to what I do know. In short Jesus will heal the same way he did while on earth. But taking this and applying it to a global scale is a different matter. In short he will do it by the removal of sin and imperfection. But I don't know how he will do this.
I apologize for being unclear. I am not the most spiritual of servants. I did not mean to mislead you.
Earlier I said that "all those in memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out". This statement is true and this includes the vast majority of mankind. However not everyone that is dead are in memorial tombs. Some have already experienced second death from which there is no resurrection. And some still will.

I dunno why. LOL - that's a good one!When Adam and Eve demonstrated independent thought, did your god (a) reward them, or (b) get into an almighty strop about it?Yahweh was happiest when A&E were doing exactly what he told them, without thinking about it. Yahweh likes mindless slaves, not thinkers. He may SAY he likes people to think, but his actions when they do give the lie to his words.
In that case you are being bullied for being honest.
If God exists I think he would value integrity over fearful conformance.
With respect, I don't accept this in any other field of my life, I don't accept it for religion.If a politician says "I will be tough on X", that means nothing unless he can explain what that actually means. If a decorator says "I will make your house look nice", I want to know the specifics.And when someone else says to me "this will happen" - but is unable to articulate how it will happen - then I wonder how accurate or reliable their "vision statements" can be.
I don't think I know what you mean by 'memorial tombs' however. Could you go more into detail there?
And if another entity was pretending to be god and giving you some messages or knowledge, would you be able to tell that?

Quote from: WilliamIn that case you are being bullied for being honest.This may be true, but I am not afraid.
Quote from: WilliamIf God exists I think he would value integrity over fearful conformance.He does.
Maybe you should be afraid. Invest a little of your time checking out ex jehovah's witnesses support group forums.
Great to hear. Can you give me some references to where God says this please.
Here is one that represents God's will for his children. "My son, if thou wilt receive my words, And lay up my commandments with thee; So as to incline thine ear unto wisdom, And apply thy heart to understanding; Yea, if thou cry after discernment, And lift up thy voice for understanding; If thou seek her as silver, And search for her as for hid treasures: Then shalt thou understand the fear of Jehovah, And find the knowledge of God." (Proverbs 2:1-5 ASV)
I don't see any integrity in this. I don't see a person using their own reasoning faculties to assess and decide if what they are hearing from God makes sense. This is about accepting God even before God says anything. Like an obsequious puppy dog receiving a treat only after it cowered in fear before us.
Speaking for myself, I was taught to believe before I even knew much about the scriptures. I was fertile ground because of innocence and childhood brainwashing. As I grew I didn't actively decide to see problems with religion. I wasn't even looking for them. The problems just became plain obvious and nothing I could do - not even heartfelt prayer - produced any answers from God. The "knowledge of God" in Proverbs 2:1-5 was withheld from me. It's a lie to me.
I did nothing other than use my brain (which I thought was God-given) so see the massive problems in religion and scriptures. Would I have any integrity if I shut out those thoughts without looking for more information? What should I do if what I find confirms that the problems and inconsistencies are real? Suppress it because I'm scared of God? No! I'm not a coward.
And back to the point of the OP, this same experience of dissonance between scriptures and reality (I think) is the main reason people disobey Jesus (and God). The scriptures just don't make sense when you take them seriously: Why would anyone hate their family, and abandon them?Why would anyone sell all their stuff and give it all away? Why would we not feel relieved, even happy, that Osama Bin Laden was shot dead?Why do we save for our retirement?Why would anyone mutilate themselves because they thought somebody looks sexy?Why are we (most of us) afraid of handling snakes?Why do we label poisons as poisons and avoid ingesting them?Why do we take our injured loved ones to hospitals and doctors instead of prayer groups?
Blind faith in Jesus or God's "Word" is patently dangerous and stupid. We'd have ZERO integrity accepting what scriptures say with respect to any of the above. We'd have ZERO integrity if we didn't question EVERYTHING else in the same book the above nonsense appears in.
But as any casual observer should see, answers in the Bible are not always as plain on the nose on our face. If you would seek understanding you must do it as one searching for "hidden treasure" and not as one that just scratches the surface. You will not find the treasure on the surface.

Austin Dillon has heard all the talk of him possibly racing Dale Earnhardt's famous No. 3 car in the Sprint Cup Series.
And he's fine with that, although he would like it to be when he runs a full Cup season and not a partial schedule.
MORE: Childress on No. 3 | Top prospects | Harvick and RCR | Junior's outlook
There's pressure when running the stylized No. 3 made famous by the seven-time Cup champion, and Dillon doesn't want to wait a long time between races to feel he has to prove himself as worthy of the Richard Childress Racing number.
The 2011 Camping World Truck Series champion, Dillon won two Nationwide Series races on his way to a third-place finish in the standings as a rookie last year. A grandson of team owner Richard Childress, he has two career Cup starts, one in a No. 98 car and another in a No. 33. He will drive the No. 33 in the Feb. 24 Daytona 500.
"I'd kind of would like to do it as a full season, personally, going all out, having a full year to do it," the 22-year-old Dillon said recently. "One or two spotty races are just hard to go in there and compete when you're not competing at that level of competition every week."
The No. 3 has not been used in Cup since Earnhardt's death in the 2001 Daytona 500. Childress said that 85 percent of fans want him to bring the No. 3 back to Cup, but he would only use it for a member of his family or the Earnhardt family.
Childress has said he is heavily considering letting Dillon keep the No. 3 when he goes full-time Cup racing, which he hopes will be next year.
"This past season, with Austin running it in Nationwide as much as he did, it's kind of re-energized a lot of the fans," Childress said. "The fans come up and the cards and the calls and the emails we get, when we said he was going to run the 33 at Daytona, overwhelmingly people wanted to see the 3.
"Who knows? We haven't made any decisions at this time."
Dillon has run the No. 3 for much of his racing career.
"I remember the first year we brought out the 3 (in trucks) and wrecking at Daytona and if we would have had a part-time schedule there, that would have been pretty tough to overcome a wreck on the first lap, on the pole," Dillon said.
"The good thing is we had a season ahead. We won races and were able to prove ourselves. That's pretty important."
Dillon laughed when asked if he really has a choice in the matter.
"I'm kind of leaning toward the full season," Dillon said. "I think that would be more of what I would like to do.
"But if it happens earlier than that, oh well. Hopefully it will all work out my way but sometimes you don't get that."
Dillon is running a partial Cup schedule this year in addition to his Nationwide full-time slate. In Cup, he's running the No. 33 for Richard Childress Racing and the No. 51 for Phoenix Racing.
"I do like running it but you always question certain things every now and then when you think back about it and people say things," Dillon said. "The great thing is I had a lot of support with it, especially lately. … People come up to you and say, 'Man, we'd love to see you in the 3 in the Cup Series.'
"That's all I need to hear is a little bit of support here and there. Past that, it's a number and I have to give 110 percent if I'm in the 3 or not in the 3."

Profit From Mortgage Debt With MBS
In its May 2006 edition of Research Quarterly, the Bond Market Association estimated that mortgage debt represents $6.1 trillion of the $25.9 trillion bond market. As more people buy their first homes, move into bigger spaces, or purchase vacation homes, this borrowing is bound to expand. This situation creates an opportunity for astute investors, who can use mortgaged-backed securities (MBS) to own a piece of this debt. In this article, we'll show you how you can use MBS to complement your other fixed-income assets.
How They Are Formed
MBS are debt obligations purchased from banks, mortgage companies, credit unions and other financial institutions and then assembled into pools by a governmental, quasi-governmental, or private entity. These entities then sell the securities to investors. This process is illustrated below:
Real estate buyers borrow from financial institutions.
ß ß ß ß
Financial institutions sell mortgages to MBS entities.
ß ß ß ß
MBS entities form mortgage pools.
ß ß ß ß
Individuals invest in mortgage pools.
Types of MBS
The pass-through or participation certificate represents direct ownership in a pool of mortgages. You will get a pro-rata share of all principal and interest payments made into the pool as the issuer receives monthly payments from borrowers.
The mortgage pool will usually have a five-to-30-year maturity. However, the cash flow can change from month to month depending on how many mortgages are paid off early - this is where the prepayment risk lies.
When current interest rates decline, borrowers might refinance and prepay their loans. Investors then must try to find yields similar to their original investments in a lower, current-interest rate environment.
Conversely, investors can face interest rate risks when current interest rates go up. Borrowers will stay with their loans, leaving investors stuck with the lower yields in a rising current-interest rate environment.
Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMO)
Collaterized mortgage obligations (CMOs) are pools of pass-through mortgages. The formation of a CMO is illustrated below:
Pass-Through Securities
ß ß ß ß
CMO Issuer
ß ß ß ß
Individual Investors
There are several types of CMOs that are designed to reduce investors' prepayment risk, but the three most common are:
1. Sequential Pay CMOs
In a sequential pay CMO, CMO issuers will distribute cash flow to bondholders from a series of classes, called tranches. Each tranche holds mortgage-backed securities with similar maturity and cash flow patterns. Each tranche is different from the others within the CMO. For example, a CMO might have four tranches with mortgages that average two, five, seven and 20 years each.
When the mortgage payments come in, the CMO issuer will first pay the stated coupon interest rate to the bondholders in each tranche. Scheduled and unscheduled principal payments will go first to the investors in the first tranches. Once they are paid off, investors in later tranches will receive principal payments.
The concept is to transfer the prepayment risk from one tranche to another. Some CMOs may have 50 or more interdependent tranches. Therefore, you should understand the characteristics of the other tranches in the CMO before you invest. There are two types: Planned Amortization Class (PAC) Tranche
PAC tranches use the sinking fund concept to help investors reduce prepayment risk and receive a more stable cash flow. A companion bond is established to absorb excess principal as mortgages are paid off early. Then, with income from two sources (the PAC and the companion bond) investors have a better chance of receiving payments over the original maturity schedule.
Z-tranches are also known as accrual bonds or accretion bond tranches. During the accrual period, interest is not paid to investors. Instead, the principal increases at a compound rate. This eliminates investors' risk of having to reinvest at lower yields if current market rates decline.
After prior tranches are paid off, Z-tranche holders will receive coupon payments based on the bond's higher principal balance. Plus, they'll get any principal prepayments from the underlying mortgages.
Because the interest credited during the accrual period is taxable - even though investors don't actually receive it - Z-tranches may be better suited for tax-deferred accounts.
2. Stripped Mortgage Securities
Strips are MBS that pay investors principal only (PO) or interest only (IO). Strips are created from MBS, or they may be tranches in a CMO.
Principal Only (PO)
Investors pay a deeply-discounted price for the PO and receive principal payments from the underlying mortgages.
The market value of a PO can fluctuate widely based on current interest rates. As interest rates drop, prepayments can increase, and the PO's value might rise. On the other hand, when current rates go up and prepayments decline, the PO could drop in value.
Interest Only (IO)
An IO strictly pays interest that is based on the amount of outstanding principal. As the mortgages amortize and prepayments reduce the principal balance, the IO's cash flow declines.
The IO's value fluctuates opposite a PO's in that as current interest rates drop and prepayments increase, the income can go down. And when current interest rates rise, investors are more likely to receive interest payments over a longer period of time, thereby increasing the IO's market value.
Safety Ratings
Fitch Ratings provides credit ratings as well as coupon rates and maturity dates for MBS.
MBS Issuers
You can buy MBS from several different issuers:
Independent Firms
Investment banks, financial institutions and homebuilders issue private-label, mortgage-backed securities. Their creditworthiness and safety rating may be much lower than those of government agencies and government-sponsored enterprises.
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac)
Freddie Mac is a federally-regulated, government-sponsored enterprise that purchases mortgages from lenders across the country. It then repackages them into securities that can be sold to investors in a wide variety of forms.
Freddie Macs are not backed by the U.S government, but the corporation has special authority to borrow from the U.S. Treasury.
Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae)
Fannie Mae is a shareholder-owned company that is actively traded (symbol FNM) on the New York Stock Exchange and is part of the S&P 500 Index. It receives no government funding or backing.
As far as safety goes, Fannie Maes are backed by the corporation's financial health and not by the U.S. government.
Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae)
Ginnie Maes are the only MBS that are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. They mainly consist of loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Veterans Administration. \
Mutual Funds
If you like the idea of profiting from an increase in the growth of mortgages but are not up to researching all the different types of MBS, you might be more comfortable with mortgage mutual funds. There are funds that invest in only one type of MBS, such as Ginnie Maes, while there are others that incorporate various types of MBS within their other government bond holdings.
Besides greater diversification of loans, mutual funds can reinvest all returns of principal in other MBS. This lets investors receive yields that change with current rates and will reduce prepayment and interest rate risks.
The Bottom Line
MBS can offer federal government backing, a monthly income and a fixed rate of interest. The downside, however, is that the term can be uncertain and they might not increase in value like other bonds when current interest rates drop. Also don't forget that you could get a piece of your principal returned with every monthly payment. Consequently, at maturity there may not be any principal remaining for you to reinvest.

Florahome ("Home of flowers") is a VERY small town in N. Florida that lies on S.R. 100 between Gainesville and Palatka (or St. Augustine, for those of you who have no idea where Palatka is). The population is about 2000 and consists mainly of white trash... with a few exceptions (mainly depending on proximity to waterfront property). In Florahome there is a Post Office, A gas station/convenient store, a flashing yellow light, a park, a softball field, a newly built General Dollar, a plant nursery, and a feed store. Oh, and a bunch of old, grungy trailers. And that's about it.

Internationally acclaimed impressionist Peter A. Miller follows his artistic instincts on light and composition to expose the inner vitality of his subjects. The application of light and color projects emotionally rich expressions and establishes themes of peace, reflection, simplicity, and nature. He brands his work with dynamic composition evoking a sense of motion, depth, simplicity, and flow between natural elements.
Miller's portfolio consists of impressionistic portraits, landscapes, and still lifes portraying the harmony between composition, light, and color. Though he is currently working exclusively in oils en plein air, Peter Miller has also spent considerable time in other mediums including pasten and charcol. Peter frequently travels around the country and overseas to paint. The Maine coastline is particularly alluring to him for its rugged environment and hard working marine community. Peter integrates the natural elements from his surroundings in his alla prima methods. Painting outdoors whenever possible, he works only with natural light and the composition of the landscape.
Peter Miller was born in New York in 1949 and has been painting since 1977. He currently lives in Vermont with his wife and three daughters. He began his studies in New York City at the Art Students League under Dan Greene and Ray Goodbred. Peter later studied with Robert Brackman and Carroll Jones. He has also gathered education and inspiration from the works of artists including Velazquez, Turner, Constable, Pissaro, Bellows, and Schmidt.

2007 December DUI Crackdown
How often have you seen someone driving down the road that you were pretty sure was drunk, or at least driving dangerously? Haven't you said to yourself, "I wish a police officer was here to see this and pull this guy over!"
Now, you can be the one on the spot. Now, as you travel California's streets and highways, you can do something to help get drunk drivers off the road.
The Office of Traffic Safety, California Highway Patrol, and local law enforcement want everyone to drive safely and responsibly. Always designate a sober driver, and if you see a drunk driver on the road, call 911. The public can use the emergency number to report and help the CHP identify drunk drivers before it is too late.
