I was on my daily news cruise this morning, and found a wonderful "Merry Christmas" type article. Evidently a group of archaeologists in Jerusalem uncovered a batch of coins dating back to the 7th century. Now I know to the casual observer that only seems like Jack Sparrow Pirate Loot, but to those of us continuing to build the case for the validity of the Bible, it's another arrow in the Quiver.

By Maria Anderson. A small two months in Peru. Taking an inventory of a wandering self. I am somehow apart. I write on red leaves that stain my hands with their powder and pocket soil to save for later. I like to put a handful of dirt in a stranger’s hand, lean close and whisper, “here,” and walk away. I am the whore, whispering secrets to the young and virginal and the filthy and decrepit. I am the priest, baptizing those who are born to sin in the arms of their parents. I am the wraith,

Ladies and Gents, Gents and Ladies- I’ve been in a little hiatus (theme of the latter half of 2008 for this blog), but this is for good reason. I’ve been working out the annual CSV Top 20 albums of 2008! I have to say that this year produced some very interesting results; whereas 2007 was ripe full of obviously excellent albums, I felt that 2008 was a little more subtle in this manner. Nonetheless, I think you’ll be pleasantly pleased with the results. So let’s begin! 16. Ray LaMontagnLa Habra Chamber of Commerce A Christmas Story

One of the most significative programs in Windows is, without any doubt, Windows Explorer.exe. This important program is the shell of all Microsoft operating systems (it was introduced in Windows 95) and manages Start menu, taskbar, desktop, File Manager and all the graphical interface. That’s why it shouldn’t be terminated at all, because it is vital for the stable and secure running of your computer.
