Gov. Jerry Brown pitches his budget plan on Republican turf
Whether it's over a beer or with his Welsh corgi, Brown is schmoozing lawmakers to secure just four GOP votes for his budget plan. Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown's first major test is coming down to this: his ability to win over four Republicans, the minimum number he needs to pass his spending plan.

Is all the gold still in Ft. Knox?

Dream on. There is approximatly 6 billion in gold there. That is a pitance. That amount has been set aside so politicians can get the hell out of DC to Brazil when they are asked to leave by Osama binLaden. The rest is in the Vatican waiting for a chance to invade Israel with basically a mercanary military.

A TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow of a travel blog to Lima, Peru by TravelPod blogger Mrjoe titled "Nobody expects the museum of Inquisition" Mrjoe's travel blog entry: "Caught the bus to Lima with Megan and Arien who were feeling a bit better. I, however, was feeling rough from the night before and sat near to an open window for the journey. At the bus station we took a taxi to the very friendly Lion hostel in Miraflores. This is an expensive, but modern and busy, part of the city with lots of bars and restaurants. The central park area is very pleasant and well kept so its worth paying the extra to stay around here. On our second day we decided to walk to Huaca Pacllana about a mile from Miraflores park. This ancient mud brick mound pre dates the Incas and the city of Lima. We had quite an interesting tour of the site which is still being excavated. Unfortunately, the mud bricks haven't survived particularly well and, despite some rebuilding, I found it difficult to picture what the original site must have looked like. Lima's central area is around 5 miles up Avenida Arequipa from Miraflores so I walked up to explore. The parks and plazas around here are busy, well kept spaces and, unlike Miraflores, there were lots of wonderful old buildings. In Spanish colonial times Lima was effectively the capital of all South America leaving some interesting sites to visit today. My first stop was the Museum of Inquisition. There wasn't a tour in English so I joined a Spanish group ...

I need help with our family Christmas party. We want to have all the kids entertain the adults so how...?

We are having a family Christmas party and need some ideas for the kids to put on a show for the adults. What should we do.?
We have about 35 kids. We are going to have them sing about 5 christmas songs and then the younger kids are going to do a play where they will each have a letter of the alphabet and they will say things like "A is for angels at christmas time, B is for Baby Jesus and so on. Now we have the older kids, about 9 of them all between the ages of 13 and 19. What should we have them do as entertainment for the adults? We thought about having them read poems about family and Christmas. Are there any good sites where I can find some poems about family and Xmas? We do not have the funds to get them costumes and not enough time to put together a play. Any other ideas Any help would be much appreciated.

well,13-19 yr olds are difficult because they are all about what looks cool,so you may have several of them who are not going to be too happy about doing this for you guys,and you know kids when they are miserable they will make everyone around them miserable..i suggest maybe a game for them that the adults can sit back and watch and or maybe even join in on..you know like Christmas pictionary or charades.. divide them in to 2 teams,,give them words,movie themes,christmas present items ext. written on pieces of paper that are folded up and put in to a hat,,let each team take turns pulling them out one at a time,each kid has a turn to get up doing one while the rest on their team tries to guess what they are trying to say,and so on and so forth...i know you said not enough money for costumes,,but you could find a nice dollar store and buy 4-5 inexpensive gifts,wrap them up,,the winning team members gets the gifts...watching kids do stuff like that is always fun and entertaining..and who knows the adults may even want to join in..have a blast,,and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Hurtful Christians?

Why do Christians wear crosses around their necks? You would think that if Jesus ever came back to Earth and saw that he'd be very insulted and say: “Hey, how about a little sensitivity? That's where I died in agony, and you're making jewelry out of it?”

your question was a real eye opener. i be live you are right Jesus would be very insulted,i just love the idea of a loaf of bread or a gold glass of wine around the neck.hanging.

Would Jesus Gauges be Sacrilegious or Offensive?

I know that wearing rosary beads is considered offensive (I'm a practicing Catholic and would never dream of it). I also know that I am encouraged to wear several pieces of jewelry with Mary, Jesus, the saints, etc. on it. Example: Pendants, saint bracelets...

Christians - why is some of the Law worth following but some not?

Many Christians say that they should follow the Ten Commandments and biblical laws such as those that prohibit homosexuality, yet biblical laws that prohibit the eating of bacon go ignored. According to Paul, Jesus freed the gentiles from the Law. If this is so, does this only apply to certain laws? If so, which ones? Why do Christians need to follow the Law relating to creating graven images of God, but are free to eat lobster? According to Jews, both are equal.

This is a serious theological question, not a criticism. Please respond seriously. I am not "Christian bashing." I am Jewish, have studied some Christian theology, and have some questions. Thank you.
Just to clarify - I'm not focusing entirely on food laws those just happened to come to mind right away. There's plenty of other laws to use as examples - leaving a corner of your field available for the hungry to take from, eating unleavened bread on Pesach, etc.

The practices of Christian peoples vary more than the practices of the various sects of Jews. Not all the Jews take the law as seriously as other Jews .. both as sects and as individuals. This is same with modern Christians of the various faiths.

And in the early church once it was decided to let the gentiles in(and some isolated groups didn't and died out) .. then the old law was considered over and the law was cherry picked for what was deemed important for the new people .. a people based both on book and faith .. and not book and only for one people and one faith. Peter's "kill and eat" is a famous comment.

Although some are loath to admit it, the deviations from the law stem from both the New Testament and also traditions dating back farther than most can remember.

And weird things entered in .. like the Catholic Friday fish meal (which has been recently dropped by modern catholics and dropped centuries before by other christians) probably comes directly from the cult of Osiris living in the Corinth area where much of early Christianity sprang. see Joseph Campbell for more. In the cult of Osiris it was important to eat some fish on the Sabbath to get some of the god into you. (sound echoingly familiar to another Christian practice related to bread and wine?)

The study of early Christianity is interesting. as a start you might enjoy "Beyond Belief" by Pagels. what was left in, thrown out, and what was thought to be thrown out and is still there.

For example hidden in Roman Catholism are interesting Sufi-like and Gnostic overtones which although there is a line in the sand of "heresy" .. these teachings are rumbling around in the Catholic teachings and practices for almost 2000 years. These are not really found in the more western versions of Christianity.

ps.
The cherry picking from both old and new testiments and revieled knowledge is still going on today.

ps.
Jesus' coments about Love and Compassion and Forgivness being the way transending law man and religious teaching echo in most other religions. If we can cut others some slack and give them at least 1 other chance the world would be a better place. This is NOT to say to let them walk all over you - which some christians would agree and others would disagree.

Good Luck in your search.

dream interpretation please?

i had this dream i cannot take off my mind. i saw jesus, in a green field,nice field, and i was with around i think was 10 people. it didnt really look like the drawings of jesus today, but i knew it was jesus. he was in a white robe, with gold and red, but i couldnt see his face. it was covered with a very white and pure aura. anyways, all of us were kneeling before him and he said he was going to pick someone (IDK Why) but i felt he would pick me. When he picked someone, it wasnt me and i felt bad for some reason, then i woke up. does this mean anything, or was it just a silly dream. i dont really dream allot though.

white is purity, gold is glory, and red is salvation. did you know the person Jesus picked? maybe you will see someone give their life to Christ in the near future and he wanted to show you ahead of time. maybe He wants you to learn something. just a thought, though...

You broke the 10 commandments if you wore a cross.?

"You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth."

An "idol" is an image of a false god. The cross is a symbol of Christ's passion. Two completely different things. It's like saying "Mecca" is an idol because Muslims pray to Mecca.

This is another question that gets asked every day.

Is this a sin, please help?

Hello everyone, I am an earnest follower of Lord Jesus Christ, and I don't use any pirated materials. But lately I had the necessity to get some pictures to make a movie from windows movie maker, and this movie is for my own purpose and not for selling.

I understand your predicament. You have to understand that the ones who took those photographs or made those pictures worked to produce them and publish them.

What you should be more concerned about is plagiarism. If you ever wrote an essay for college you will know that if you use someone else's information, you should give them credit. That is why they have CREDITS at the end of every movie. Maybe you should post credits at the end of your movies.

If you want to use a clip from a movie that is still under copyright protection, contact the ones who are in control of that. Send them an email saying that you respectfully request the permission to use their material. Tell them exactly how you intend to use it. Most of the time they will let you. They don't really care. What they do care about is when people download their movies for free or buy them from pirates. That really makes them upset.

They also hate it when people use their material against them. Kent Hovind is an excellent example of that. At first he refused to copyright his videos because he wanted to get his message spread. Then people who hated him and his ministry used his videos to attack him and misrepresent him. They would spout blasphemes and then post it with his videos. Hovind and his staff did not like that.

Look into citation and plagiarism. That will help you understand when and how you should use information that does not belong to you.

If you want to use Bible verses, use KJV verses and not the newer ones. If you use newer ones, you have to cite the sources and sometimes get permission. KJV is not copyrighted. Use as many verses as you like.
