NASA video showing oceanic currents with 2 years of information. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=CCmTY0PKGDs (Job 26:12) 12 By his power he has stirred up the sea, And by his understanding he has broken the stormer to pieces. And I like this one, too: (Isaiah 57:20, 21) 20 “But the wicked are like the sea that is being tossed, when it is unable to calm down, the waters of which keep tossing up seaweed and mire. 21 There is no peace,” my God has said, “for the wicked ones.”

808.1 A VERY INTERESTING FIND: http://www.wnd.com/2012/02/earliest-gospel-of-mark-found/ Interesting find. Here's a bit of the article: A New Testament professor is setting the world of Bible scholarship on fire with his claim that newly discovered fragments of early Christian writings could include a first-century version of the Gospel of Mark, from the same century in which Jesus and the apostles lived. Daniel B. Wallace of the Dallas Theological Seminary made the stunning announcement during a Feb. 1 debate with Bart Ehrman at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill on whether we have the wording of the original New Testament today. “If this Mark fragment is confirmed as from the first century, what a thrill it will be to have a manuscript that is dated within the lifetime of many of the original followers of Jesus!” Wallace said. “Not only this, but this manuscript would have been written before the New Testament was completed.”

The blog is alive and active and I will post some content later, but this for right now is just a test.

Great idea for those of you cutting back yet still wanting the 'flavor' of good meat. You might try the 'fake steaks' idea(s) below (or the full meal):

Take about 10 or 11 ounces of good angus hamburger and set your oven on broil. As it warms, put your burger on a strip of foil. At this point begin spicing. (If you leave the center slightly frozen, you can get a bit of rare in it.) What I like to do is add mesquite smoke to one side along with Ms. Dash Original, parsley, a bit of garlic powder, some butter, some onion powder, basil, thyme, celery seed, rosemary, plenty of salt and pepper. These are my preferred beef spices and I vary them slightly from time to time. Broil one side about 5 minutes and about 4 minutes on the second side giving you approximately medium. On the second side, repeat it, but use some hickory smoke flavor and/or Bulls-eye BBQ (keep it lite). As Ramsey says, 'Delicious.'

If you want to go ahead and make a great meal, take some of the pan drippings and put in a small saucepan. Add a pat of butter or two and a tablespoon or two corn oil, then flour it up to make a roux. When it's ready, add 2 or 3 tablespoons of 1/2-1/2 and then enough whole milk to make a medium small amount of gravy to which you add canned (or frozen) peas and some olive oil (virgin) to taste for a creamed peas delight. Bring back to temperature until the peas are hot then put in a dish. (I eat half of them.) Don't do anything with what's on the bottom of the pan. Now get some frozen corn out and add to what's left on the bottom of your saucepan for a bit of creamed corn. Heat just enough to warm the corn good (I prefer frozen). Put into small bowl or on plate.

Enjoy! Any questions? You can post here or my Ancient Scrolls site.

Have a look at what is happening only 300 km from my city:

And this is not Armaggedon yet!

Miren lo que está pasando a solo 300 kms de Valdivia:

Y eso que todavía no llega Armagedón.

Here's your first five that someone else wrote (at their site):

And here's my take as well for 10 total:
There's room for a few more for a 'top ten.'
#6. If there are 3 stalls with modesty panels, don't make a stranger or coworker uncomfortable by taking the middle one. Take a side stall. Let's face it, two's a crowd and three's forced company so we can live with that. Create a buffer zone. Same with empty stalls, mitigate last night's shrimp, lobster, and bean casserole by 'space.'
#7. I may burp, barf, or flatulate, so you may want to talk to your sweet pumpkin outside the restroom. And yes, I know it stinks in here, so comments about it irritate me.
#8. For those unisex bathrooms: girls, take care of your feminine problems completely, a guy is possibly coming in next and may call 911-hazmat so don't leave unflushed (if flushable) feminine napkins OR dispose of them in the provided containers. I don't shop that aisle, but it seems as if most are now flushable.
#9. The bathroom isn't your personal smoking room. Keep it outside or in approved places. Same with that stupid 'tobacco spit.' I don't need to see spewed and chewed tobacco leaves all over the potty, urinal, or bathroom floor. Don't be a bubba.
#10. If there's some air freshener provided as a convenience, spray it! You're not rich, and even if you are, UR-POO-STINKS-2. And don't forget to wash up as soon as you're done, you'll undoubtedly touch something. If we know you and even shake hands and you're 'wet,' we'll wonder what it was.
