The Mended Spiderweb series came about during a six-week period in June and July in 1998 which I spent on Pörtö. In the forest and around the house where I was living, I searched for broken spiderwebs which I repaired using red sewing thread. All of the patches were made by inserting segments one at a time directly into the web. Sometimes the thread was starched, which made it stiffer and easier to work with. The short threads were held in place by the stickiness of the spider web itself; longer threads were reinforced by dipping the tips into white glue. The morning after the first patch job, I discovered a pile of red threads lying on the ground below the web. At first I assumed the wind had blown them out; on closer inspection it became clear that the spider had repaired the web to perfect condition using its own methods, throwing the threads out in the process My repairs were always rejected by the spider and discarded teach a spider how to advertise

So, my strange thought is this: If I were a wealthy republican, and wanted McCain to win, I would contribute the maximum the law would allow to his run for office. But if I were a smart wealthy republican, I would also contribute the same amount to Nader and get people to talk him into running. This way my second contribution would benefit McCain by splitting the Democratic vote once again and hopefully doing the same thing it did in 2000.
I wonder who exactly is contributing to Nader's campaign? Does anyone know where to find this info?
Toronto pagans are mobilizing against a beauty pageant being held Saturday night, after one of the judges was rejected because she is a fan of the occult. Ralph Hamelmann, who runs The Psychic Brunch, said 16 of 18 sponsors have withdrawn their sponsorship of the pageant. Of the two remaining, Alfredo DiGenova, general manager of Adrenalin Fitness, has no plans now to withdraw despite pressure. “I’ve received seven e-mails since Tuesday asking me to drop my sponsorship. I think the whole thing is blown out of proportion. It’s their pageant so they can have whoever they want.”

"They said that God, Jews, Muslims and Christians frown upon Reiki and tarot cards, and that these were the occult and that I use them to commune with the dark forces," Ms. Conover says.

Are they afraid of Ron Paul getting nominated?
I then thought of the marketing agent telling the puzzle maker, "Make the puzzle, so that even if a kid is stupid as dirt, he'll make it through and feel good about it, that's what will get him to buy more of our cereal." But where's the challenge? What about the kid that wants to be "pushed" beyond what he can already do? I think this is a major problem in the United States, it's probably why we are so far behind other countries academically. We are so concerned with people "feeling good about themselves" that we forget that we can rise to a challenge, we forget that some things worth accomplishing are difficult.
What our modern culture is doing is raising a generation that abhors the difficult and challenging. We raising people who think everyone deserves a "gold star" and they get pissed off when they don't get one. Very sad, this stupid "feel good" society of ours.
The Seasons and Axis Tilt
The Earth's axis is tilted from perpendicular to the plane of the ecliptic by 23.45°. This tilting is what gives us the four seasons of the year - spring, summer, autumn (fall) and winter. Since the axis is tilted, different parts of the globe are oriented towards the Sun at different times of the year. Solstices

The Golden Compass Controversy DE SOTO, Ill. - It's fast becoming one of the most talked about movies of the year. Now, "The Golden Compass" is causing some controversy in southern Illinois, even before it opens in local theaters. It all started with a note sent home to some parents in the De Soto Consolidated School District. The note comes from the Parent Teacher Organization at the school warning parents about taking their kids to see the movie, basing their warnings on the fact that the author of the trilogy Phillip Pullman is a well known atheist. Some parents were upset to read such a note coming home with their kids on Wednesday afternoon. "I was actually kind of shocked and a little surprised. My son said I can't go see the movie because of the school and the teacher said I couldn't. It's not their place," said Gidgyt Glisson of Elkville.
