| Mithra: Another Pagan "God" That Acharya S & Zeitgest Have Been Pushing As A Source For The Stories About Jesus | | 2008-07-02 11:58:00 | | Another of the main "gods" that Acharya S and Zeitgeist have been pushing as a source for the stories about Jesus is Mithra.Now, Acharya S is a self-proclaimed "high priestess" of her own religion, and most scholars laugh at the incredibly flawed scholarship that is found in the movie "Zeitgeist", but a lot of people on the internet are watching that film, and therefore it is important for us to address these issues.During the Roman era, Mithraism was perhaps Christianity's leading competitor for the hearts and minds of the Roman world. It was an ancient mystery religion that began in the middle East, and Acharya S and "Zeitgeist" believe that there are over a dozen things that Jesus supposedly has in common with Mithras.Our friends over at tektonics.org have done a complete and thorough job of totally debunking these "parallels". After reading the following article, you will realize just how ridiculous and fraudulent Acharya S and "Zeitgeist" really are:http://www.tektonics.org/copyca | | By: Shattered Paradigm | | |

More than 300 incidents of fish kill have been reported in the last five years. Someone's not doing good detective work! Newton Abbey Times.If you were a mining company in Canada with lots of toxic tailing to get rid of, and you wanted to get around laws prohibiting destruction of fish habitat, what would you do?

| Stories Finish: Now What? | | 2008-06-22 00:27:00 | | I've been working on two short stories as of late: Dreams of Priory and Nobody Gives a Crap About Compsagnathus (working title, I think). Both clock in around 8,000 words (the latter a little shorter, if memory serves me correctly). Both stories are drastically different too. The first story is a bizarre take on life, death, and the afterlife, with aliens thrown into the mix, and the other is about reverse engineering chickens into dinosaurs, which is meant to be mildly humorous (and which the girlfriend really doesn't like even though she hasn't read it because she asserts, given her genetics background, that such things are simply impossible...even though I got the idea from a news article).In fact, the first story is really hard for me to pin down to a specific genre. I started writing it with aliens and the supernatural together, perhaps "future urban fantasy" would be a sufficient title. The problem is that I don't know what to do with it. I'll be editing it pretty soon an | | By: The World in the Satin Bag | | |

| Salvation Stories | | 2008-06-09 14:25:00 | | What a joy it is to see God working in people's lives. What a privilege it is to be a part of His work to reach out to lost people that are without Christ. Yesterday (Sunday) morning we were at Igreja Batista Ipiranga in Sao Paulo leading the 1st of 2 parts of a People Sharing Jesus seminar. The seminar was well attended by a majority of the church and it was a blessing to be there and see church members and leaders commit to share Christ with others. We received a special surprise in that there were some people visiting the church, so at the end of the training period I shared the Gospel and 7 people accepted Christ.One of these was an elderly woman named Cidinha. Cidinha was raised in the church (Presbyterian), and her family was very actively involved. She has been attending a small group Bible study in the home of one of the members of Igreja Batista Ipiranga, and various people have shared Christ with her.

| Christmas/Summer Blanket Stories | | 2008-06-05 07:16:00 | | My Christmas and Summer Blanket started on Christmas of my junior year of college, four years ago. My grandmothers had given me carte blanc in the yarn store, and the result was me buying yarn for my first pattern where I followed the directions- almost.From the first I knew this project was going to be big. I have a big family (two parents and four children including me) and we have an appreciation for a blanket that can span the length of the couch and cover all of our legs for movie night. It was no wonder that I wanted a big blanket, something I could imagine surrounding family in folds of love and bright colors.However, having this big blanket did present some problems. Namely, ability to transport. I found after a certain size the blanket could no longer be comfortably carried in a craft bag, and it began being brought out less and less. Thus, it became my Christmas/Summer Blanket, because those were the times I worked on it- over Christmas when I had the leisure to sit dow | | By: Garnfiti | | |

I feel like I have a spy network or something.The Boy hasn't really spoken to me since the night of the Formal.I know it wasn't necessarily something I did that has prompted my apparent fall from grace, because as he was leaving the Formal (the last time I saw him) he was suggesting that I pop in on him the next day (I thought I'd be around Caufi_ld, which happens to be very near his house). I didn't end up doing that, but it's enough to convince me that it wasn't because I'm a horrible, boring person that he is now uninterested in talking to me.It would appear that something happened in between then and the next couple of days, when he basically ignored my attemp | | By: Oh My, said Miss Milk | | |

If you gave a look to the "currently playing" window on the right you probably noticed that I've been replaying Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. That has been my inspiration. Back in the day, amongs the general enthusiastic comments, some journalists wrote some absolutely appalling criticism.They went on talking about "philosophically burdensome story" or the plot being "incomprehensible and overly heavy for an action game".I can't do anything else than define such remarks as absolutely idiotic, with all due respect. Metal Gear Solid 2 has one of the most beautiful and deep stories of the whole videogaming history, a story that peaks in an incredibly beautiful way with the scene depicted in the picture on the left (which I won't describe, for the sake of the ones that still didn't play the game, and NEED to play it before pl | | By: Classy Gamer | | |

| How To Tell Stories Effectively... | | 2008-04-04 12:15:20 | | I know you are interested to apply the skills to tell a good story. So, here you are:1. You need to know what you want to achieve from your stories. There must be a purpose to tell a story either to enroll people into your list or to sell a product. Every purpose will have different approach to tell the story.Only when you are clear with what you want, you will be able to choose a good and influencing story.2. You must at least understand the basic needs of your customers. It is useless to talk about the benefits if affiliate marketing if your audiences are looking for information about the benefits of article marketing.The more you understand your customers, the better.The best way to do it is to ask your customers what they want and share relevant stories with them.3. You need to check your story before you post it to your audiences. Imagine what will your customers respond if they read your story.

Along the way, he surpassed Arnold Palmer and caught Ben Hogan on the PGA Tour's career victories list. 2. Drug Testing Golf does not begin drug testing until July, but mandatory meetings to outline the process was such an eye-opener that some players have begun asking about the need to form a union. Augusta National is part of the World Golf Foundation, meaning drug testing likely will take place at the Masters next year.3. Slow Play The PGA Tour has twice changed its cut policy to limit the size of fields on the weekend, particularly the final round, which has led to outrage among players who feel as though playing opportunities are being taken away.

Well as luck would have it, when I went to use the camera, the batteries did not have enough juice in them to take any photos and the extra batteries could not be located. So I took the batteries out and Reiki-ed them for about 7-8 minutes, then tried again. Volia! It worked and we were able to use the camera the rest of the trip with the reiki-ed batteries.

| Book Review: Roast Chicken and Other Stories | | 2008-02-08 11:43:00 | | And a cookbook review from BlogCritics:Simon Hopkinson is a venerable English chef and newspaper columnist who enjoys pushing for simple, home-y food. This cookbook, originally published in London in 1994, is a small but useful collection of Hopkinson's favorite recipes, along with personal stories and asides to accompany each one.My husband is a retired chef and his most basic meals are my favorites. Not that I don't love the rolled and stuffed game hens or the complex patés, but nothing compares to his beef lentil soup and his roast chicken with garlic buttermilk mashed potatoes. In Roast Chicken and Other Stories we find a celebration of simple home cooking. There's plenty of butter, cream, and other "no-no's" to be found, but very little processed pre-cooked and microwaved food. This book celebrates fresh food, be it potatoes, chicken, or calves brains. It is simply organized around Hopkinson's favorite ingredients, and while many of them are not appetizing to an American tast | | By: Pilates & Reiki In Paradise Blog | | |

| Fishing Horror Stories - Ice fishing safety | | 2008-01-04 10:14:32 | | I came across this post in one of my favorite fishing forums. I hope the original author (GraphixDude) doesn't mind me posting it here, but I thought it was a good reminder of ice fishing safety (of which I know nothing about - being from the tropics of Australia).Ice fishing in Michigan.Since I was a little kid, my uncle has taken me ice fishing every winter. Usually we go to remote lakes in the Allegan County area, and my uncle has a history of fearlessly fishing on thin ice either late or early in the season. This always made my mom nervous about letting me go with him.I was about 12 or 13 years old, and we were fishing on a lake called "Hodge Lake"...a very deep lake with natural springs that feed it. There are spots in that lake where the ice is black in huge areas and it usually indicates thin ice.There was a dusting of snow covering the whole lake and the ice was VERY smooth and slippery. The temperature was FREEZING cold with a very low wind chill. I was setting up tip ups in one section and my Uncle was setting some up in another area. For those that don't know these are devices made of 3 sticks - 2 that cross each other and one that goes verticle into the hole with the cross as a stand to hold it up. On the bottom is a spool of line and on the top is a little orange flag. You put a minnow on the hook hanging from the line, and when a fish bites, the little orange flag "tips" straight up so you know you have a fish. You usually catch big bass and northern pike on these.After setting the tip ups, we got close to each other and started to fish with regular ice fishing rods....tearing the blue gills and perch up. Suddenly far on the other side of us one of the little flags popped and my uncle ran over to check it. About 35 yards from the flag (in a spot we hadn't yet walked) my uncle suddenly disappeared with a loud crack in the ice that vibrated the ice all the way where I was standing. Immediately my uncle surfaced and started to yell and claw for the edg | | By: The Ultimate Fishing Blog | | |

| Vietnam Zippos: American Soldiers' Engravings and Stories (1965-1973) | | 2007-12-27 17:08:13 | | We are the unwilling, led by the unqualified, doing the unnecessary for the ungrateful—from an engraving on a Vietnam-era Zippo lighter In 1965, journalist Morley Safer followed the United States Marines on a search and destroy mission into Cam Ne. When the Marines he accompanied reached the village, they ordered the civilians there to evacuate their homes—grass huts whose thatched roofs they set ablaze with Zippo lighters. Safer’s report on the event soon aired on CBS and was among the first to paint a harrowing portrait of the War in Vietnam. LBJ responded to the segment furiously, accusing Safer of having “shat on the American flag.” For the first time since World War II, American boys in uniform had been portrayed as murderers instead of liberators. Our perception of the war—and the Zippo lighter—would never be the same.But as this stunning book attests, the Zippo was far more than an instrument of death and destruction. For the American soldiers who wielded them, they were a vital form of social protest as well. Vietnam Zippos showcases the engravings made by U.S. soldiers on their lighters during the height of the conflict, from 1965 to 1973. In a real-life version of the psychedelic war portrayed in Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now, Sherry Buchanan tells the fascinating story of how the humble Zippo became a talisman and companion for American GIs during their tours of duty. Through a dazzling array of images, we see how Zippo lighters were used during the war, and we discover how they served as a canvas for both personal and political expression during the Age of Aquarius, engraved with etchings of peace signs and marijuana leaves and slogans steeped in all the rock lyrics, sound bites, combat slang, and antiwar mottos of the time.Death from Above.

| The Top 5 Mobile - Wireless Stories of 2008 | | 2007-12-22 20:47:00 | | ComputerWorld's David Haskin gives some thought to the top wireless stories of 2008, and I think these 5 points are worth pondering:1. Will Sprint's WiMAX effort succeed? Sprint says its Xohm WiMAX will be cheaper and faster than 3G. Others believe it's not enough to drive people to Sprint. Telecom consultant, Derek Kerton, says, "It's the do or die year for WiMAX."I agree. But my fingers are still crossed on their behalf. If they succeed, it's going to be great for competition within the industry.2. Will Sprint remain independent?It all depends on Hesse's ability to do two things: - stop the bleeding (churn)...and, - make WiMAX succeed.3. Industry consolidationAs noted in the article, Sprint's challenges make it the likely takeover target. But 2008 will bring a lot of consolidation in the wireless industry. Which is cool, as we'll have lots to write about.4. Openness comes to mobilityIt's all about openness: open platfo | | By: WirelessJobs.com | | |

Buy Mojave's new album, Stories
(December 19th, 2007 - 3:44PM)
Mojave, a local Vancouver band, has just released their debut album, Stories.
Here's why you should buy it.
Mojave is a great local Vancouver band.
If you support the Vancouver indie music scene (and you should), get behind Mojave. I'm a friend of the singer, and if you give them a listen you'll agree that she's a fantastic vocalist.
Mojave is helping the environment.
From their website:
"mojave is at the forefront of creating a green music scene. their debut album 'stories' is offered exclusively through digital retailers (cds are not recyclable or biodegradable), and all travel made by the band is carbon offset through tree canada. mojave are also members of 1% for the planet and donate a portion of their profits to environmental charities."
Mojave is anti-DRM.
