Tag banned from school?

Wow!

The schools ban tag because it is a "touching" game? They did this because they are afraid they will be sued if some one gets hurt.

Fear only breeds more fear.

Maybe if we had Judges that had enough sense and backbone to throw out these frivolous cases America could be America once again.

But no we're afraid.

Tag you'r it.

Wildfires expose artifacts

DESCANSO, Calif. - An oak tree was still burning nearby when Margaret Hangan made her way across a wildfire-scorched landscape and spotted to her delight a set of flat-topped granite boulders that served as kitchen counters in an ancient village 2,000 years ago.

Here are some interesting finds mentioned in the article.

Fires are a double-edged sword," said Richard Fitzgerald, an archaeologist for California state parks. "They can be very destructive, but after a big fire you can find new sites, even in areas that have been surveyed before."

Crews found an abandoned gold mining camp and an adobe homestead from the 1800s.

After a smaller fire there in June, they discovered a cave with rock art and a site with unusual beads made from freshwater shells.

Most finds are small, rock flakes left behind by hunters sharpening arrowheads, or piles of rich brown earth, called midden, that remain from prehistoric kitchen scraps.

In rare instances, fires unveil large structures. Archaeologists discovered fortress-like stone walls after a 2003 fire ravaged Cuyamaca State Park northeast of San Diego.

Reminds me of when I was younger and Dads neighbor would burn off the pasture next to us. My brothers and I would don our rubber boots and search the area to see what was left behind.

Never found an Indian village though we mostly found snakes, chipmunks, balls and rockets we had lost in the tall grass.

I can remember thinking how it must be like the surface of the moon, ash grey and barren.

Treasures looted 'back in the Holy Land'

A COLLECTION of sacred artefacts looted by the Romans from the Temple of Jerusalem and long suspected of being hidden in the vaults of the Vatican are actually in the Holy Land, according to a British archaeologist.

These were stolen in 70 A.D. when Rome attacked Jerusalem and is chronicled in stone in the "Arch of Titus" pictured above.

I think this is quite interesting that as we draw nearer the end Gods things and people are making or have made their way back to Jerusalem.

A Pale Blue Dot

On October 13, 1994, the famous astronomer Carl Sagan was delivering a public lecture at his own university of Cornell. During that lecture, he presented this photo: The photo above was taken by Voyager 1 in 1990 as it sailed away from Earth, more than 4 billion miles in the distance.

This page goes on and gives us Carl Sagan speech.



When the picture was taken I and my entire family is in the photograph (see me waving?) along with the rest of the worlds population. Cool thought.

It is a pretty interesting speech but it ends with a wrong and sad conclusion.

This is what came to my mind. Psalms 8

When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all [things] under his feet: All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, [and whatsoever] passeth through the paths of the seas. O LORD our Lord, how excellent [is] thy name in all the earth!

Who has controlled the Middle East over the course of history? Pretty much everyone. Egyptians, Turks, Jews, Romans, Arabs, Greeks, Persians, Europeans...the list goes on. Who will control the Middle East today? That is a much bigger question.

New Cave Found

A Giant Crystal-Filled Cave was Discovered in California by amateur cavers.

September 26, 2006—Four amateur explorers have discovered a giant, crystal-filled cave in California's Sequoia National Park that scientists are hailing as a major find.


I have always dreamed of finding something like this in my back yard.

It seems I have passed it on to my kids as well.

My boys have told me of their crawling head first into every little hole that they find in the woods. So I give them the stern warning about being careful and then grin really big.

It seems the apple doesn't fall far from the tree after all.

And as we walk they share that their dream cave they will find is also filled with ancient treasures just as mine have always been.

I wish it would have been me but finds like this still keep my hope alive.

Well done cavers and good for you!

Death Clock

Want a sobering thought?




Plug in your information and see the estimated time of your death.

We don't like to think about it but the death rate is still 1 out of 1 people die, we had better be prepared for it.

If your not prepared you need to be.

3.3 million-year-old girl fossil

"The new bones belong to a three year old girl who lived 3.3 million years ago -- 150,000 years before Lucy,"

Here is an interesting comment.

"Evidence indicates that she probably died in a flood from the nearby Awash river,"

Hmmm Noah's flood perhaps?

They always say how old these bones are and that they are the oldest ever but I would say the ones they find in coal or rock would be older. If the bones they find in coal/rock are fake (which some argue) what about man made objects found there?

I think they don't mention these because they are clearly human or man made and that messes up their "only found in text books" strata layers/time table.

The article ends with another curious statement.

"On the shores of what was formerly a lake in 1967, two Homo sapiens skulls dating back 195,000 years were unearthed. The find pushed back the known date of mankind, suggesting that modern man and his older precursor existed side by side."

In other words Man and ape have always lived side by side one did not evolve one from the other,

Hubble Videos

Here is a link to some short Hubble telescope videos.

I love to see the handy work of God in space.

If you watch the deep field video you get to see somthing amazing.

In the darkest spot in space, where we see no stars, is a field of jewels we never knew existed before.

This is my favorite space picture, gems and jewels of galaxies floating in space waiting for us to find.

God is good and magnificent artisit.

Here is a website that tracks objects in space in real time.

I say objects because it is mostly satellites but when the shuttle is up (It is a picture of the Shuttle above) you can track it as well.

It is amazing how much stuff is floating in our orbit.

False Christ

Jesus warned us that in the last days false Christ's would come, here is a (video) link to one of them.

He violates so many warnings in the bible.

One of the big ones this clip reminds me of is 1-John 1:8 "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us."

And of course Jesus warned us in Matthew 24: 23-26----"Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here [is] Christ, or there; believe [it] not.
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Behold, I have told you before.
Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, [he is] in the secret chambers; believe [it] not.

Powerful Microscope

A field ion microscope (FIM) image of a very sharp tungsten needle. The small round features are individual atoms. The lighter colored elongated features are traces captured as atoms moved during the imaging process (approximately 1 second).


Thats what I call one powerful microscope, I mean you can see the individual atoms?

Living Fossil

The first pictures showing a live specimen of a rodent species once thought to have been extinct for 11 million years have been taken by a retired Florida State University professor and a Thai wildlife biologist.



The "living fossil," looks like a small squirrel or tree shrew.

Scientists have nicknamed it the Laotian rock rat. The creature is not really a rat but a member of a rodent family once known only from fossils.

Another "living fossil" found.

I love stories like this and can't wait until they find a living dinosaur.
