The Gap Filler

Over the last few months lots has happened. My grades for my classes were all realy good and in the spring I will have a 17 creadit load. However, the benifits that I was receving from my job decided to cut me off after 6 months insted of a full year like they promised. This is only one of several issue I'm having with them changing there minds about something they have promised me.
On a good note just the other day my dd informed me that she has a green puppy named Charkie, lol. I'v been whating for the stage where she has imagenary friends. It is so fun to see her interact with her puppy. I wish I could rember my imagenary friend; can you rember any?

Thought for today

This semester I am taking a variety of classes one of which is U.S. History and culture. One of the interesting things that I have taken away from this class is the culture of the Native Americans tribes. For instance did you know that the women had the final say in any trade made by her husband. On top of that women were the ones who divided the food between the tribe. But the most interesting thing I learned was that most of the tribes traced the genealogy through there wife's side of the family.

Trying something new

Right now I'm sitting in the library at school ''studding'' for my quiz in geology at 11 and I needed a break. So I'm trying to make a post using my palm. It takes a little getting use to and is not as fast. Now for something new I call it the fact of the day. Did you know that the largest diamond found in the world was about the size of a bowling ball. Where is it now? It has been cut several times the largest piece is the size of a tennis ball. Currently adorns the top of the royal scepter of England.

Monday Muse

This is a comic that one of my teachers had in there slide show that I think is very funny.

Hope you enjoy it

New Gadget

Most people will tell you guy's love gadgets, well that is true. At the start of the school year there was one gadget that I really wanted it is a Palm TX. Sure enough I got my gadget and It has been the biggest help to me. I do not want to sound like I'm defending myself but my memory is getting very shotty and I'm forgetting things left and right. However, Now that I have it I have all my classes and assignments in it along with scriptures both bible and book of Mormon and hymns with the children hymns book and the current president manual. On top of that i can use it as an mp3 player and surf the web. So I think like it is a very reasonable purchase.

Friendship bread

My wife (with my persistance) is making friendship bread which is the best bread ever. It takes over a week to prep the bread the main ingredance which is a bag of milk shugger and flower. However, when the bread is cooking it smells hevenly. If you ever get a chance to make it it is well worth it.

Geology & College

If you were wondering where I found out about the giant quartz crystals, it was from my geology class. However, the information about this amazing discovery is a couple of months old, April 9 of 2007, which shows you just how much out of the loop I am. Now considering that my major is geology, I need to work on being better informed about this kind of thing.

A couple of weeks ago I started a class that I didn't think I would like that much. It is American History and Culture. It sounded like all the other boring history classes that I have taken in my life. I have been pleasantly surprised at the information that we as a class are covering, some I have never heard of or even thought about before. For instance, did you know that in the Native American culture before the Europeans came over was mostly a Matriarchal society? Meaning that the women were more in charge of things than the men. For example when men the women were married it was the man who would change his name, and their lineage was traced through the female side rather than the males side.

Kind of interesting.

The Fortress of Solitude.....in Mexico?

You might remember the Fortress of Solitude in the movie Superman it looked something like this and was located at the South Pole.

Well it looks like Superman has another one in Mexico. Maybe he got tired of the cold weather. (See below) Just check out the link to the discovery of this cave of crystals.

Life Cycle

I wouldn't recommend eating while you look at this but as a Natural history picture it's fantastic.

Dog Pack Attacks Alligator in Florida: At times nature can be cruel, but there is also a raw beauty, and even a certain justice manifested within that cruelty. The alligator, one of the oldest and ultimate predators, normally considered the "apex predator", can still fall victim to implemented 'team work' strategy, made possible due to the tight knit social structure and "survival of the pack mentality" bred into the canines. See the remarkable photograph attached courtesy of Nature Magazine. The Alpha dog has a muzzle hold on the gator preventing it from breathing, while another dog has a hold on the tail to keep it from thrashing. The third dog attacks the soft underbelly of the gator.

Not for the squeamish! Not really! But go ahead and read the story first anyways, trust me! “

Game Night

Lately my wife and I have geen inviting friends over and playing games with them like Cranium, Clue the great Museum Caper. My favorit game is the last one it uses the classic charictors from the orignal clue game however, in this version it is a littel different. One person playing is the bad guy and the rest is are the charictors trying to find the bad guy and stop him or her from stilling all the art in the museum. This game is not in stors any more but it is the funest game that I have ever played. I like being the bad guy it is very tense trying to sneek arround and still all the paintings in the museum and not get caught. Another game that I like is Risk 2210 a verson of the game brought into the nucler erea with the addition of concering the Ochens and the Moon makes this game realy difficulet. What game are your favorit games?
