Looking for that perfect gift for the geophile in your life?

How about a VOLCANO THAT ERUPTS A DINOSAUR. Honestly, could it get any better?

When I saw this in the store, I was a little dumbfounded ... but really, it just makes sense.

PROOF that dinosaurs did not evolve.
Instead, they were created by volcanoes!

They had these on sale at the Circle K on the corner of 15th and Monroe for months. I think they sold 2 of them. I thought about buying one for some sort of stupid geoblogosphere contest, with a silly "secret prize." Then they put them up for sale at a remaindered price and were gone.

I could kick myself.

Wow! That dinosaur requires almost as much care as tropical fish. Is anyone else here thinking of "20 Million Miles to Earth" (1957)? :-)

When I first tried I was not able to view this entire site on my mothers computer. Every time I typed in the address and tried to view it, I was met with an404 error page. Now I don't know if this had anything to do with it but I was using the Internet explor 8 Browser and I'm not using that on this computer so perhaps that was the reason it didn't work??

This is often getting a iota over subjective, but I a good deal of want the Zune Marketplace. The boundary becomes lively, has much more feel, as well as some peaceful features desire 'Mixview' that allow you to speedily observe linked albums, tune, as well as alternative slimmers linked to any you are listening to. Clicking during one of those can base placed on that piece, and one more set of "neighbors" will come towards landscape, allowing you to pilot here probing with similar artists, songs, and clients. Speaking of individual users, the Zune "Shared" can also be great fun, putting you discover other products by using communal tastes and becoming associates at their side. Next you can take heed to a playlist designed based on an group of what all your friends will be listening to, that is definitely also entertaining. Many on privacy is going to be solved to recognise you may restrict most of the people coming from looking at your personal listening habits should you in this way pick.

The bottom line is that blogging is like sex. You can't fake it. You can't fake passion. You can't fake wanting to engage with the public. If you do, it will ultimately be an unsatisfying experience for both the blogger and their readers.

I think the Packers offer a very similar matchup that the 2008 Cardinals had for SB 43 against Pittsburgh. A spread passing attack that's very deep and talented at WR, and little to offer from the TE and ground game. The big difference is Rodgers is mobile while Warner stayed in the pocket. I'm pretty sure the Steelers had the same secondary in that game, other than Deshea Townsend being gone. They handled the Cardinals pretty well until the 4th quarter. Jennings is good, but I don't see him taking a game over the way Fitzgerald did. I do expect a lot of passing from GB, and Rodgers might be the leading rusher in this game for GB. Anyone in the media that even thinks about talking up Starks or GB's "improved" running game is crazy. They will not run the ball well in this game. Not a chance.

I'll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
