    would the above German poster be so kind as to take a moment if possible and either translate her entry for the majority of us who speak english or french and no German? It would be so very sweet. Thank you.

    Jn 21:25
    "And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contina the books that would be written. Amen."

    and a bonus random dictionary word (c'mon luck be a lady......etc)....

    overblown adj. 1. Excessive; overdone. 2. Inflated; exagggerated.

    (kiss_the_sky!! I have a very strange bible dip story that I would like to share w YOU if you wanna hear it send me a pm + I'll tell ya. Very strange. Almost too unbelievable.)

    By the luck of the draw, the Newark Giants of the International League counted on their roster the dandy battery of George Stovey and Fleet Walker that year when the two New York National League teams, first the Brooklyn Bridegrooms (forebears of the the Dodgers) and then the NY Giants, came across the Hudson River for games in early April.

    "A number of sources, including the book Japan's Hidden History: Korean Impact on Japanese Culture, document the reality that the Korean peninsula has played a pivotal role in shaping Japanese culture."

    Adam Gamble & Takesato Watanabe, A Public Betrayed: An Inside Look at Japanese Media Atrocities and their Warnings to the West. (A gift book donated to the library that just hasn't left my desk yet... everything else at hand was sheet music!)

    I examined the map: after the last of the Baulé villages, it pictured a ten-mile stretch of forest before the first Beng village - perhaps another twenty minutes until we arrived.


    :)

    That's from the book Parallel Worlds, written by Alma Gottlieb and Phillip Graham. It's like an ethnography and a memoir in one. Alma Gottlieb is an anthropologist and the book is about her life in Africa.

    It is the scholar who indulges in fastidious but morally undirected research into Shakespearian sonnets of nineteenth-century European diplomatic history any less of a mere technitian than the typical electronics engineer.

    Departed to the judgment, A mighty afternoon; Great clouds like ushers leaning, Creation looking on. A flesh surrendered, cancelled, The bodiless begun; Two worlds like audiences, disperse, And leave the osul alone.

    "At the same time we must intensively patronize trade and industry, but, first and foremeost, speculation, the part played by which is to provide a counterpoise to industry: the absense of speculative industry will mulitply capital in private hands and will serve to restore agriculture by freeing the land from indebtedness to hte land banks."
