The error that bugs me is the misplaced apostrophe. *shudder* ("Beliefs" is a plural, not a possessive.)<br /><br />And CG Grim, I heard something about that scene from Indiana Jones. There was supposed to be a big duel of some kind, but Harrison Ford was sick and just couldn't face it. So he pulled out his gun and "shot". They let it stand.<br /><br />Whoa! Any idea where that "country drive" is? Because it sure looks like a road about ten miles from us that has had numerous landslides. It's a curved sandstone formation and occasionally the top layer will spall off just like that. Yikes.<br /><br />Was anyone else not surprised when Komen caved, after only three days? And did you see the news stories revealing that Planned Parenthood <i>does not provide mammograms at all</i>? They only do manual exams, which aren't exactly going to find most tumors. Further, about 80% of their clients are under 35 - long before most women develop breast cancer. Well, I could go on and on about that but I won't.<br /><br />JulieHerding Grasshoppershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15668974245505544238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-51963955182303219832012-02-10T15:26:36.420-06:002012-02-10T15:26:36.420-06:00Well, Marla, your FB friend was correct.

The mice learn a T-shaped maze where the food is placed on the right or left side, once they learn where the food reward is the reward is switched to the opposite arm and scientist measure how quickly the mice learn the new maze. Alzheimer mice forget where the food is or they are unable to learn where the food will be when the food reward is switched to the opposite arm of the T.

There is zero ambiguity. He doesn't try to find a sword of his own to give his attacker a sporting chance. He doesn't try to bargain with his attacker. He doesn't wait until his attacker is within arm's length. He just shoots him.<br /><br />That scene probably kept Lucas up at night with anxiety.CGrimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03257084521984285384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-25465066909689661782012-02-10T11:09:44.554-06:002012-02-10T11:09:44.554-06:00Hmm, I always thought that the scene with Greedo w...Hmm, I always thought that the scene with Greedo was like a Western. Greedo is going to shoot Han but Han manages to fire a fraction of a second before Greedo, which causes Greedo's shot to be off. It's not like Han shot way before Greedo because otherwise Greedo couldn't have shot.<br /><br />If Greedo shot first, it doesn't explain the miss (other than he's a terrible bounty hunter who has never fired a blaster before).<br /><br />I do get tired of the Director's versions. What the director did to the Last of the Mohicans is a shame.

My wife and I both wandered if he might be converted and repent. It is pretty much the first question that comes to mind with anybody who is diagnosed with a terminal illness or dies. In the case of those diagnosed with a terminal illness that refuse to repent, it reminds me of the picture of the people in Revelation trying to hide under rocks while still shaking their fists at God.

I...Quite a full serving this week...thanks, Dan! <br /><br />I remember driving up to Tulsa and driving past walls of rock with signs warning to watch for falling rocks. This reminds me of how I used to always be scared of getting buried in falling rocks.<br /><br />Listening to Talbot's version of Psalm 51. This is something I could do with listening to (and meditating upon) a few times each day.<br /><br />And all this time, I thought squirrels were just brown. I especially never thought of them being green.<br /><br />I like the graph, too, but if you do a global expansion of that, I'm sure Muslim would have to be separated into its own category. What bother's you about the spelling?<br /><br />Hahahaha...12345? Seriously? <br /><br />Christians persecuted by Muslims in an Islamic country...and Obama talks about Jews, Muslims, and Christians worshipping and praying together. Of course, since only Christians worship God, that doesn't make sense in the first place, but this article just shows how impractical that thought is, too (outside of the time of the peace set up by Antichrist in Revelation, but even that is dicey).<br /><br />Very exciting to see the discovery of such an early manuscript if it is confirmed.<br /><br />It was nice to read that list about Santorum...definitely much more comforting than Romney or Gingrich.<br /><br />I was one of those who mistakenly thought Solo shot first. Oh, well...been wrong about much more important things than that!<br /><br />One has to wonder how effective this testing on mice really is. I guess it is a starting point, but until you try it with people, you can't really tell what all will happen.<br /><br />That is a sad story about the guy thinking his g/f was drowning and trying to save her. As for Kennedy, we can pray for him to repent and trust in Jesus or else he will face the righteous Judge and have to own up to what he has done.<br /><br />Definitely not thinking of snowmobiling on a mountain after seeing that. That person was very fortunate.<br /><br />Hahaha...I need a similar list for my scales...although I'm not sure I'm going to think about my great self-worth much.<br /><br />I'd never heard of Bear Grylls before. Looks like some good stuff, though.<br /><br />Hahaha...that doesn't look like a samurai, but the ninja looks good.<br /><br />I think the close buttons on elevators must be on a 10 second delay or something.<br /><br />Yikes! Obamacare to the rescue?<br /><br />Hahaha...yes, many promises he has. I think he just makes them up as he goes along.<br /><br />Hahahaha...definitely the .00099% there!<br /><br />That sounds like our printer at work...it is usually being serviced every couple of weeks.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13987985549747283669noreply@blogger.com
