Howdy just trying out the Opera web browser
It seems pretty good with a few different features
I find most browsers to be pretty similar.
I've tired Firefox, Navigator, Epiphany, Modzilla,
Internet explorer, Safari and a real old one made by and
for Java. I find not much significant difference between them
I suppose some are a little faster but I suppose in the end
its like just different colors for the same model T. I guess some have different "skins" that give a different show but the nuts and bolts seem to be pretty basic. Oh there was this one I tired that only did web cams that was pretty neat and this other one called Earth browser but it was difficult to use.
Anyway opera is free for the moment with no ads so i thought i'd give it a whirl. Actually I suppose there is some difference as I tend to use different browser depending on what the thing I wish to accomplish is. More >

A Noteable Measure
It would seem that the determination as to whether or not something is or
was worth the effort and such of its inception, implementation
and execution, is whether or not it has or will inevitably result in any significant
amount or degree of sustainable global satisfaction or so.
Given the admonishments of the Rolling Stones it would seem much is not to be the case.
ie: "I Can't Get No.... Satisfaction!"
Satisfaction by The Rolling Stones
mid 1900s
To often it would seem, satisfaction is often overlooked
or forgotten in the haste of ..... ???

This is my blood given for thee = wine = alchohol
Jesus Christ
The blood of the Earth/Gaia is for her = oil
Don't you see Christ foresaw this day when we
were burning the blood of Gaia when he indicated
we should be burning his blood instead.
Ethanol vs Oil....
Ethanol is manufactured from the grains of crops like corn.
and it pollutes less as well. It is in effect synethic oil or more
properly "alchohol". More >

Hurakan, the Hurricane God
I recently discovered that the origin of our word "hurricane" actually comes from the name of a Mayan storm god, "Hurakan." This seems pretty unusual, since I'm really not able to name probably a single other Mayan god, let alone one which has penetrated our language like that.
________
Hurakan is the ancient Mayan god of wind and storm. He visits the anger of the gods upon humanity by bringing about the Flood. He is a creator god who according to legend dwelt in the mists hanging over the primeval flood, in the form of the wind, ceaselessly repeating the word "earth" until the solid world rose from the seas. When the gods became angry with the first human beings, Hurukan unleashed the deluge which destroyed them. From his name the word 'hurricane' is derived. Hurakan means "one-legged".
It seems the ‘one-legged’ god has been particularly unhappy with us this year. Hurakan, the Mayan creator god who blew his breath across the Chaotic Waters and brought forth dry land, has been angry off and on since the beginning of time: destroying the first humans, or men of wood, with a great storm and flood. Even the Caribbean know of him, though they spell his name Hurican, and refer to him as the god of evil. This is especially apt, when considering the damage that Katrina has done to the American East Coast – it was indeed a most evil wind. No wonder that we have come to call these tremendous storms ‘hurricanes’!
