Tropical Stonehenge

SAO PAULO, Brazil – A grouping of granite blocks along a grassy Amazon hilltop may be the vestiges of a centuries-old astronomical observatory — a find archaeologists say indicates early rainforest inhabitants were more sophisticated than previously believed. On the shortest day of the year — Dec. 21 — the shadow of one of the … Read more

Canada Day

Living abroad for the better half of my life makes me a true Ex-patriot (or expat) but that doesn’t mean I’m without a homeland. On the contrary, I love Canada to a degree that no-man should possibly feel towards a place, or area of land (dirt and trees). Most of my life away from Canada … Read more

I’ve been publishing web pages for over 12 years now and an advocate of the open source movement. A few years ago I started following the OSWD (open source web design) and have found some really great themes and templates there, actually it’s largely because of reverse-engineering other designers web pages that I’ve learned what … Read more

Discipline and Consistency

If discipline and consistency are maintained over a sustained period of time towards a fixed objective, then it stands to reason that a favorable desired outcome would result. Probably one of the hardest things in life is to remain consistent about the things that bring affluence and yet not to lose sight of the day-to-day … Read more

Breakthrough Thinking

We live in a world of compiled ideas, accrued over time, reinvented with applications of old ideas combined with new breakthroughs. Every day pieces of this enormous cosmic jigsaw puzzle fit together, making clear new ideas to manifest into improvements in the things we use to make our lives better, or more comfortable. So many independent minds, adding improvements on so many already effective tools and systems, that we’ve brought this planet and it’s inhabitants to this level of technological sophistication is amazing. Almost every person alive today has the ability latent in them to make the world a better place.

Crown & Anchor

My first effort of image development for a web site design started over 10 years ago with the “crown & anchor” which I believe offers image correlation for “invest & offshore”. Back in my early days of learning Photoshop this was a good practice subject, one which I’ve continued to devote time to right up … Read more

Mind Altering

UrantiaOver 12 years ago I first started reading the book called Urantia and attended several study groups so I could ask questions and attempt to understand where the book came from, why it was written, by whom, and why more people weren’t reading it? One of the answers that had meaning to me was that it matters not why or who the book was written by but rather how I felt about reading it? and what impact the message would have on me?
Without having read a single page of the Urantia for over 8 years I can say still that it’s amongst the most profoundly effecting things that I’ve ever read, it’s so profound that most people who read it feel no compulsion to promote it afterwards, rather just let new readers find it when they’re meant to.

Body of Evidence

My writing assignment today is to write something suitable for this Blog’s category “body” and since I’m not feeling inclined to write about my own body, which is getting fitter but fatter, I’ll save that for another article. So I ran a search in Yahoo News of the word “health” and read a round-up of the days news stories related to health. The 2 stories which were news-worthy to me, and relevant to “body” were about Bird-Flu reaching Canada and another article about substance abuse and painkillers in USA.
