Perhaps it’s the deep shadows, the unseen animals lurking in the brush, or the absence of people and lights. After reading these creepy tales from SurvivalistBoards.com, you’ll never want to go camping again. Enjoy! The Land Remembers One night I was camping near where an old river dam had been. The Scream Some friends and I were doing some night fishing on the James River. We were all staring across the river and felt as if something or someone was staring back. By this time, several of us were sprinting to our trucks that were parked within 20 or 30 feet and retrieving various firearms. The Invisible Assailant It was very early in the morning around 2-3 a.m. and I was in a very open area waiting for my boss to return with some equipment. As I opened my drink, I hear this woosh woosh woosh sound flying through the air from behind me. I get back and meet up with my boss and he’s pacing back and forth in our shop freaking out.

Row Three » Brave New Worldview – 30 Science Fiction Films of the 21st Century A decade into the 21st Century and we have arrived at the future. The promise of Tomorrow. But instead we have looming energy crises, endless middle east conflict and more disappointing, we have no flying cars, Heck, for all the bright and clean future promised in 2001: A Space Odyssey, none of the real companies used as brands in the film even exist anymore. Even moving from the late 1960s to the mid 1980s, nobody makes DeLoreans (although they occasionally sell on Ebay), but cloning and tablet computing (as promised by Star Trek: The Next Generation) have more or less come to pass in this century. It is not the gizmos or the distopian aesthetics, that have brought Science Fiction into the new millennium, but the questions it asks of people or society in a future time or place and how they reflect on our own times. There have been a surprising number of excellent science fiction films to come about in the past decade that do this and do this well. The Fountain 28 Weeks Later The Host

Spooky Photo Shows Phantom, Expert: "I Believe This is a Real Ghost" A New Hampshire man made a startling discovery when he noticed a ghostly figure photobombing a friend’s Facebook snapshot. Now, an expert photo analyst is saying that the phantom is real. Two weeks ago, Daniel Tanner decided to peruse a friend’s online photo album when something eerie caught his eye. In the background of an image that shows Tanner’s friend posing with her canine companion, what appears to be the ghost of a young girl can be seen peering through a window. “My friend has been claiming for months that her house is haunted,” Tanner told Reddit. Tanner claims that the only people in the house at the time of the photograph were his friend and her husband, who snapped the image. While plenty of skeptics were quick to argue that the phantom girl was simply a trick of the eye, a a reflection, or even a clever hoax, the only investigator to bring any expertise to the table was a veteran photo analyst with 15 years of experience under his belt. What do you make of the creepy image?
Kairos Kairos (καιρός) is an ancient Greek word meaning the right or opportune moment (the supreme moment). The ancient Greeks had two words for time, chronos and kairos. While the former refers to chronological or sequential time, the latter signifies a time lapse, a moment of indeterminate time in which everything happens. What is happening when referring to kairos depends on who is using the word. While chronos is quantitative, kairos has a qualitative, permanent nature. Kairos also means weather in both ancient and modern Greek. In classical rhetoric[edit] In rhetoric kairos is "a passing instant when an opening appears which must be driven through with force if success is to be achieved Kairos was central to the Sophists, who stressed the rhetor's ability to adapt to and take advantage of changing, contingent circumstances. In Ancient Greece, kairos was utilized by both of the two main schools of thought in the field of rhetoric. Modern rhetorical definition[edit] See also[edit] Notes[edit]
early-childhood-education-pays.html#.T4XLr10Qgu8 It’s widely accepted that early childhood education has long-term academic benefits for children. But a national nonprofit organization released a study Tuesday that says high-quality early care and education is a serious player in the Kansas economy, too. The study says every dollar invested in early care and education generates $1.68 in short-term spending on local goods and services. “You don’t have to wait for 20 years for that economic benefit to Kansas,” said Susan Gates, national director of America’s Edge, which released the study at the Hiersteiner Child Development Center on the Johnson County Community College campus. America’s Edge is a nonprofit organization of business leaders that advocates for targeted investments in children. “The news from this study is it shows that early learning is a viable economic sector in the state of Kansas,” Gates said. Gates and local business leaders used the study to call on lawmakers to not cut programs that affect children age 5 and younger.
FOR OVER ONE HUNDRED YEARS AMERICANS KNEW PIT BULLS FOR WHAT THEY DID BEST. BABYSITTING. Part I. | Yonah Ward Grossman Astoundingly, for most of our history America’s nickname for Pit Bulls was “The Nanny Dog”. For generations if you had children and wanted to keep them safe you wanted a pit bull, the dog that was the most reliable of any breed with children or adults. The Nanny Dog is now vilified by a media that always wants a demon dog breed to frighten people and LHASA-APSO BITES MAN just doesn’t sell papers. Before pit bulls it was Rottweilers, before Rottweilers it was Dobermans, and before them German Shepherds. Part II of this post may be found at: My Fan Club: Stop, You're Killing Me!
