Here at Maximum PC, we've always done our fair share of website recommendation articles--including a couple of doozies from the past few years. And of course we're not the only ones who do this sort of article either; it's a proven popular format. But this year, we thought we'd mix things up a little bit.

How to Make a Fire Wire [Easy Fireworks] Do these mysterious stones mark the site of the Garden of Eden? By Tom Knox Updated: 11:10 GMT, 5 March 2009 For the old Kurdish shepherd, it was just another burning hot day in the rolling plains of eastern Turkey.

Following his flock over the arid hillsides, he passed the single mulberry tree, which the locals regarded as 'sacred'. The bells on his sheep tinkled in the stillness. Then he spotted something. The man looked left and right: there were similar stone rectangles, peeping from the sands. They certainly were important. The site has been described as 'extraordinary' and 'the most important' site in the world A few weeks after his discovery, news of the shepherd's find reached museum curators in the ancient city of Sanliurfa, ten miles south-west of the stones. They got in touch with the German Archaeological Institute in Istanbul. As he puts it: 'As soon as I got there and saw the stones, I knew that if I didn't walk away immediately I would be here for the rest of my life.' Schmidt stayed.

Aurora Borealis Activity Now. Everything You Need to know. By JIM THOMAS -- Soft Serve News Auroras are difficult to predict with precision.

Why miss your Aurora? Now, find the Kp number line on one of the following maps that matches the Kp number predicted above. It's critical to get confirmation of activity with NOAA's Ovation map.

This was written from the point of view of the monarch at the time (King John), consequently "we" and "us", etc, refer to the monarch.

The 'twenty-five Barons' are a bit of an enigma today, however the intent is pretty clear. Perhaps these days 'Lords' or even (since the advent of Parliament) 'MPs' could be substituted. What Article 61 says to me (at least) is that a modern implementation would take 25 people (possibly elected) who could even be given the courtesy title of 'Baron'.

Here is Article 61 in its entirety. All we need is "25 Barons" (who are decent and honest human beings). Note to debunkers, legal eagles, constitutional lawyers & other superior beings, etc: The Magna Carta was written in Mediaeval Latin and translated into English, and I am English. Furthermore the original (1215) Magna Carta pre-dates any 'parliament'.
