Thunder Birds
Check out the US Air Force Thunder Birds performing a loop at Quonset Point while flying in the delta formation. It is absolutely amazing how they manage to fly so close together through the entire loop at such high speeds.

Stonewall Jeremy
Well Jeremy liked my James Bond style Image on www.Haynes.tv so I have fixed up his image from him the war he was in. This is him standing in the middle of the battle with shells exploding all around him, just standing there like a stonewall.

Manticore
A manticore is like the embodiment of evil in has the body of a lion and a tail like a scorpion, the face of a human, three rows of teeth, and it eats humans, in fact the very name manticore comes from old Persian meaning 'man eater'. It seems that the manticore is associated with the Persians earliest. But if you ask me I think it is some how connected with the Bible. especially those creatures described in the book of Revelation by Saint John. It is also said to originate from the time of Jeremiah when he was thrown into a dung pit, I will have to look into this more but it is interesting how we still use these creatures today in our moves, card games, and legends, but maybe there is some Biblical History behind it.

Two carriers in Newport
I have given up trying to comment on Tim's photo site so I will put it here.
Yeah one of the carrier is the USS Forrestal. It was built in 1951 and had been reclassified several times. The most recent classification was a training carrier, then in was decommissioned in 1993 and is still to be disposed of. Apparently in "April 2004 Navy officials identified ex-Forrestal as one of 24 decommissioned ships available to be sunk as artificial reefs." Seems like kind of a waste of a carrier to me.

The other one most people have heard of is the USS Saratoga which was built in 1952 and launched in 1956. She was also reclassified several times, and currently is on donation hold since being decommissioned in 1994. I am not quite sure why they are pushing to save the Saratoga more; I guess they just had better success in getting that one. http://www.navsource.org/archives/02/60.htm

Guinea Fowl
Today I was walking out of staples in NK through a few bushes in the middle of the parking lot and I hear something making noise. I was slightly alarmed at first I did not know what it was, but low and behold it was a wild turkey, I guess it was a hen. I wasn’t quite sure whether to just be surprised or to try and catching so I could cook up and eat it. Anyhow I ended up just taking some pictures of the turkey. Well it turns out my wild turkey is actually a guinea hen or guinea fowl. I thorugh it looked a like a very weird turkey I just did not know what else it could have been and I still do not know where the thing came from since they apparently are African in origin. Therefore I do not think the guinea hen I saw was wild unless we do have a wild population of guinea fowl around in Rhode Island. It must have escaped from a farm or something, that is my best guess anyway. I am also very disappointed that I did not catch this guinea hen since they apparently are an expensive and good tasting bird, it would have made a good meal if I realized just what the thing was.

Messed up one of my sites
Well I have successfully screwed up http://www.thechrist.us If you click on this link before I am able to figure out how to fix it you will get a forbidden 403 message. I messed up a very important file. At least that is the only thing I can think happened after reading the error logs. The .htaccess file I think is what I messed up somehow by trying to install front page extensions. Well if anyone knows how to fix this problem please let me know.

Update on walmart boycott
While I have somewhat relented my boycott of walmart. My boycott still stand even though they have become very influential, and I have mistakenly chosen to bank with a bank located inside of them. I was tempted by the convenience of buying something there and unfortunately ending up doing that. Also as many might know the infamous Jimmy Sole of http://jimmysole.com works there so I ended up visiting him although I have still to hear him wish people a Merry Christmas. We will see what happens when it gets closer to Christmas and they start wishing people that "all inclusive" term happy holidays, which usually completely avoids them having to say the word Christmas. Since it has the word Christ in it and is associated with Christians that is has become a political incorrect word. Seems all the Christian holidays and celebrations have been under attack lately, I don't know what is supposed to be so evil about Christian holidays. Like I still will not understand Kirby's email because it seems he was arguing against himself. If Christmas was a pagan holiday with all those connections to different religions then where is the problem it includes more religions and ethnic groups then any other holiday. It would then include Siberians, Caucuses, Celts, Goths, the god baal, and he even says it is a wide wide world. I am so confused I though that business were teaching they needing diversity, where is the secular world's problem with Christmas except for the Christmas aspect!

More Pictures of Mayan Ruins
This is a picture of a Temple guard at the Mayan ruins of Con Pon, which was like the Athens of the Mayan world. It is a whole different atmosphere down there as far as law enforcement and security goes, and that was before we in the US were even thinking much about security it was in 2000 over a year before the September, 11 attacks. I remember we were leaving the airport in Tela and drove by a couple of, I think they were police officers, on a motor bike wearing urban camouflage, and the guy on the back was holding what looked to a sub-machine, and we were so close to them that he could of practically put the gun right in the van. It took a little getting used to seeing guys with shotguns and sub-machine guns around. Anyhow they are seriously down there, so don't go down there and except to commit a crime you wouldn't live long.
I think this is the human sacrifice alter, and the other one was the animal sacrifice alter. I can not remember, If anyone knows please leave me a comment and let me know.

Boycot Walmart
“Walmart is a world wide organization and must remain conscious of this. The majority of the world still has different practices other than “christmas” which is an ancient tradition that has its roots in Siberian shamanism. The colors associated with ‘christmas’ red and white are actually a representation of the aminita mascera mushroom. Santa is also borrowed from the Caucuses, mistletoe from the Celts, yule log from the Goths, the time from the Visigoth and the tree from the worship of Baal. It is a wide wide world.”
This was signed by some walmart employee named Kirby, who at least got fired, but only after the Catholic League president Bill Donohue got involved here is what he said: “This statement was signed by someone called Kirby. When I read it, I thought he might be drunk. But I was wrong. We sent Kirby’s response to Wal-Mart’s headquarters only to find that Dan Fogleman, Senior Manager, Public Relations, agrees. After acknowledging that he read Kirby’s response, Fogleman said, in part, the following:”
“As a retailer, we recognize some of our customers may be shopping for Chanukah or Kwanza gifts during this time of year and we certainly want these customers in our stores and to feel welcome, just as we do those buying for Christmas. As an employer, we recognize the significance of the Christmas holiday among our family of associates . . . and close our stores in observance, the only day during the year that we are closed.”
I believe Walmart has issued an apology, but still Walmart is clearly anti-Christian and anti-Christmas and therefore should be boycotted.
This guy Kirby obviously has no respect for why Christians actually celebrate Christmas. Even if those things have been incorporated into the Christmas celebration they are not the main focus and really have nothing to do with what Christians are celebrating. Christians are celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, hence The Christ in Christ-mas that is what is important about the word Christmas and the whole holiday celebration for that matter, further Kirby's email mentioned nothing about manger scenes which are popular among Christians.
“The percentage of Americans who celebrate Kwanzaa is listed at approximately 1.6 percent, while Jews make up only 2 percent of the US population. Christians, who most would say Christmas is their prime religious holiday, make up 80 percent of the US population, according to 2001 US census data.”
I took these quotes from from http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2005/nov/05111007.html

Human Sacrifice alter
This is a human sacrifice alter use by the ancient Mayan to sacrifice the winner of an ancient ball game. Surprisingly it was actually an honor to be sacrificed, hence the reason the winner was sacrificed. Another interesting thing about the ancient Mayan is they had a cross as a major religious symbol; they associated it with the Maize plan. The Mayan concept of the cross in fact bears striking similarities to the Christian cross. "The cross was a religious symbol in Middle American long before the arrival of Christianity. The Maya connected it with the maize plant, which was ,a and is , their staple crop, the foundation of their agriculture and the centre and mainstay of the whole traditional Maya way of life. It is also, in myth the substance of which man is made. In a sanctuary dedicated to maize at Palenque, the plant is shown in human form, standing with its arms extended in the shape of a cross and worshipped by two priests. The Maya see the stages in the growth of maize as analogous to human development and teh ripe corn is portrayed as a beautiful young man. The plant is a friend and ally, and the Tzeltal Maya still leave ears of maize to guard unattended children." Legands of The World Richard Cavendish
If that is not in fact evidence for the truth of Jesus Christ death and resurrection than get this. Joseph Campbell who was one of the worlds leading experts on myth up until his dead in 1987 said this. "Getting out the childhood motif requires a death and a Resurrection; a fundamental experience that everyone has to undergo. We are in childhood for a least the first 14 years of our life then to get out of that posture of dependency, physiological dependency into one of psychological self responsibility requires a death and resurrection, and that is the basic motif of the hero journey. Leaving one condition, finding a source of life to bring you forth in a richer or more mature or other condition." Later he says in that same interview he say "Christ now there is a perfectly good hero deed represented there..."
