My New Neolithic Trinket...

So the other weekend I (as well as some other folks) went up to Black Mountain, NC to visit my sister. We spent most of Saturday doing some Christmas shopping around the town shops.   In one of the antique shops we went into, there was a little box of stuff on the front counter that I usually don't bother to look at in a store: 'Arrowheads'   I have quite a few, but they have all been found by me or in a few cases my great uncle. I've never really felt driven to pick through a box and pay m

Redbull Is King

I just read this article Red Bull wings its way past diet sodas   It doesnt happen often that an austrian company is known in the USA or worldwide, one example would be PEZ, yeah you heard right, thats from Austria   Now i guess everyone knows RedBull, but did you know it is from Austria? Headquarter is in Salzburg, about an hours drive from my home town.   cheers viggen

Eureka!

I had a Eureka moment today at work, one of those once-or-twice-in-a-year breakthroughs in an experiment that remind you why you put up with the endless drudgery, thankless sacrifice and at times mind numbing boredom.   I'd like to thank Apollo, Mercury, Angita, Felicitas, Aescapulus and mom without whom none of this would have been possible.

Artifact Context...

"Artifact Context" - This is an issue that has always nagged at me. However, while researching one of my current lines of investigation, the whole concept of artifact context and how it's used (and abused?) has begun to really bother me.   This unease is by no means a mark of me joining the 'Orthodoxy Disparagers' club... however, in regards to common practices related to artifact context I really have to take issue.   I've tried to find recent papers on the subject (because it's been a whil

I'm Sharing This With Everyone

I actually have an 83% in AP Chem right now! That's for the end of the marking period (meaning, that at least that will be on my report card. I say "at least" because I'm almost positive there are some extra credit points in there which have not been added in yet.) I was expecting like...a 70-something. But 83?? YEEEE!! ::dances::   EIGHTY-THREE! EIGHTY-THREE! EIGHTY-THREE!   (ok, I'm done now, lol.)

Projects I Need Scribes For

I have always been one to want to do a million things, and thus naturally have no time for anything. My Roman related wish-list activities include:   1. Reconquer the world in Barbarian Invasions using Western Roman Empire. 2. Conquer the world using RTW:RTR. 3. Experiment with barbarian factions in BI. 4. Read every last original source of the histories of the Roman Empire, itself a worthy venture but in order to: 5. Make a grand list of every last civil/religious/military office holder f

The Haps In October

To recap my month...   I read Choke by Chuck Palahniuk and The Informers by Bret Easton Ellis. I enjoyed Choke more than most of the books I've been reading lately. I've been slowly reading my way through The Virtue of Selfishness by Ayn Rand for several months and pondering it while working during the day. I've also been slowly completing After the Ice by Steven Mithen. I would highly recommend this book to anyone curious about human pre-history.   I've spent copious hours of my free time w

I Feel Pretty

I'm so happy...lol today in chorus I actually managed to use my entire range...I can sing anywhere from bass to soprano one on a good day (I normally have no break in my voice) but often I lose the top half of my range...   My scratch art of a retairus I'm making in art class is turning out very well, the hard part is over now I just gotta do the "floor" and the net, I'm really pleased since it was a rather ambitious first attempt at scratch art lol.   I found a new project for shop class, I

Snow

Yesterday we had the first real snowfall of the year. We had an assembly at school, meaning we did not go home early (the presentation was painfully loud by the way...I had my fingers in my ears and it didn't help). Because we did not go home early, the buses could not get to the school because of roads being closed. My bus left about the time I should have gotten home. We got stuck at one of the stops, and I hear that after I got off they got stuck AGAIN When I finally left, the power was g

Damnnation! Curses!

This is the third week now trying to get this Rome Total War Barbarian Invasions to work. I have patched, driversized, reloaded and rearranged every possible iota of my computer to no avail. One last resort will be tested tonight: perhaps my vid card and computer need a better or new powersourse. Please deliver me from my pain oh mighty and new 650W PSU!   I swear, the west shall not fall. The barbarians shall not pass!

List Of Printers Which Do Or Don't Print Tracking

This is a list in progress of color laser printer models that do or do not print yellow tracking dots on their output.   Remember that a "no" simply means that we couldn't see yellow dots; it does not prove that there is no forensic watermarking present. (For example, the HP Color LaserJET 8500 series does not include any yellow tracking dots that we can see, but it may still include some kind of forensic marking, since the majority of earlier CLJ models did.)   Remember that a "yes" simply

A Ramble...ramblerambleramble...bramble?

Silence. The silence that lives inside of us. The calm after battle...before a storm...that little space inside of us that is so often forgotten, ignored, but never leaves. That space inside where joy, love, and hope go when fear takes over...pandora's box...that little space is the one good thing left at the bottom...listen to that silence inside you...it speaks without words...it knows nothing of words...the language of the soul is silence...it knows only one thing: "I am"...and knows no defin

A Sad Thing Happened Today

I left out a rat trap to catch the pesky vermain that were eating the Strawberries outside of my house. I left this rat trap for about 2 days and I knew I should have snapped it but I was too lazy. Well this morrning I walked out to find a poor Sparrow caught in a death grip in the rat trap. It was the most heartbreaking site I have ever seen, and by the gods I almost cried, if I hadn't been so lazy such a fate would not have befallen the poor creature. The worst part about it was that it was st

12288 / 1024

12288 / 1024 thats the fastest (and sort of affordable) dsl rate in austria. I know that austria is relatively expensive when it comes to broadband fees, for that 12288 down/ 1024 up connection you pay 89 Euro per month (about 95 dollars), i wonder what the fees are in other places around the world.   Here are some prices for broadband in Austria;   12288 / 1024

No. 1

Gathering together a couple of books on early christian monasticism to do a few new topics in the religion forums, should I focus on the structure of the religious settlements, the architecture, the interplay between christian sects and pagans, or the way they lived by? Should my focus for discussions revolve around men like Anthony, Arsenio, and Origien, or the communities themselves?   How to approach this area in depth and force while keeping people interested? Such an area of high diversit
