I say again, "Iron Dancer has end of mission..."

Out.

[Mari333]

33. LOL

damn funny

[enlightenment]

3. I haven't been . . .

looks like everyone else has been abducted by aliens.

You probably shouldn't have upgraded to the super high speed Internet . . . those tentacly folks from the Lagoon Nebula seem to think we're stealing their bandwidth.

9. I KNEW IT!

Back to carrier pigeons for me; out over the muddy fields they go...the shells bursting like deadly chrysanthemums in the darkening sky... .

:hi:

4. No, they are working fine.

No warnings or anything. I am reading from a mac with firefox, if that helps at all.

[Jane Austin]

13. Ditto, ditto and ditto............... n/t

5. I got a hit on the lol cats thread

don't know if that was you. Avast gave me a warning.

[Adsos Letter]

7. No, I don't do the LOL threads...

for lack of humor, if nothing else... :D

[leftstreet]

17. Even with your interest in sunken treasure and pirates and stuff?

[Adsos Letter]

18. Actually, it's for lack of technical skill...and thinking of something humorous to say...

Auuugghhh...your photo is showing the dreaded red "x" :D

[leftstreet]

19. Aack the dreaded red x

http://lolcat.com/images/1038.html

Maybe the link...

[Adsos Letter]

22. The link worketh not for me either...

I am undone! :cry:

[Hekate]

6. So far so good, here on my Mac. Thanks for the heads-up. nt

[alfredo]

10. I got one on my Mac running Safari. The link was a link to reuters

but seemed like it was hijacked.

[Adsos Letter]

11. Would that be something triggered from my computer?

I am running a PC, with a high-end security system (ESET), but I admit to knowing little about how these things work in real life.

I just set the security for daily updates, and do regular scans, including with malwarebytes, but nothing ever gets flagged.

[alfredo]

12. No, it wouldn't be you. The Site might be allowing such ads.

[Adsos Letter]

14. Ah, that makes me feel better...

"I'm just here to be a blessing," as an older finish carpenter friend used to say whenever he caused me extra work. :D

[alfredo]

32. As things go down the hopper, look for more aggressive ads.

[napoleon_in_rags]

15. XemaSab preempted my post with another starting with the same word in subject line.

here:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=5001476&mesg_id=5001498

So your posts are undoubtably empowering Xemasab.

[Adsos Letter]

16. Dang XemaSab to Heck!!! ...

:hide:

[napoleon_in_rags]

20. I know. Not only was I preempted...

But I apparently have the less popular theory on the usage of green stone in Egyptian burials. My night is ruined. :(

[XemaSab]

21. I meant to do that

:D

[napoleon_in_rags]

24. You are a meanie Ms. XemaSab.

A smarty pants and a downright rotten meanie. :P

[Adsos Letter]

23. Actually...

I think, as archaeology and anthropology work more closely, and discover more, your idea of the broad range of cultural influences will prove to be the correct one. :thumbsup:

[napoleon_in_rags]

25. On a serious note...

Its an incredibly interesting question, what exactly comes from cultural transmission and what is 'archetypal' and just happens to appear across cultures. I hope its one that is explored in more detail

[Adsos Letter]

28. You know, if you are ever interested in pursuing the potential in this issue...

William Dever, one of the American heavyweights of Syro-Palestinian archaeology, has written a work: What Did the Biblical Writers Know, and When Did They Know It http://www.amazon.com/What-Biblical-Writers-Know-When/dp/080282126X/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1233991222&sr=8-6

in which he argues strenuously for an integration of sciences, and a much greater cooperation between specialists, in order to gain better interpretation of the large volumes of raw information that are being gathered, and the data produced.

I read it for a graduate class on "The Historiography of the Bible," taught by one of the university's archaeologists, and it was great.

[napoleon_in_rags]

35. Awesome, added to my Amazon wish list. Thanks. nt

[Adsos Letter]

36. You are most welcome! Two others that can be read to round out the sides in the argument...

The Bible Unearthed: Archaeology's New Vision of Ancient Israel and the Origin of Its Sacred Texts by Neil Asher Silberman and Israel Finkelstein.

http://www.amazon.com/Bible-Unearthed-Archaeologys-Vision-Ancient/dp/0684869136/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1234075194&sr=8-1

and

Ancient Israel in Sinai: The Evidence for the Authenticity of the Wilderness Tradition by James K. Hoffmeier

http://www.amazon.com/Ancient-Israel-Sinai-Authenticity-Wilderness/dp/0195155467/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1234075313&sr=1-1

All three argue issues of historiography from different angle, and critique each others works in their introductions.

Happy Reading!

26. Yes, Said I had a zillion worms, trogans etc.

This one.

http://www.reuters.com/article/lifestyleMolt/idUSTRE515...

I'm on a Mac using Safari. Is that what you mean?

[Adsos Letter]

27. Yes, that's the one...

it worked fine for me originally, and most others, including Mac users, have reported no problems.

However, a couple of others have reported some kind of unasked for scan, and my security will no longer allow me to connect to the link, though it worked fine earlier.

I don't know how to read the location of the problem.

[ConsAreLiars]

29. I got a "Page Not Found"

on that link just now. Could be that some putz had previously hijacked that link address and Reuters recently disabled it.

[Adsos Letter]

30. That's what I get now also...

I'm glad they caught it!

Hey, OT, but I went through the photo threads posted in your sig-line...fantastic work! So many of us are guided by such a dearth of understanding about other cultures, and suffer from a subsequent lack of a full sense of common humanity.

And the world in general pays the price.

I consider myself fortunate to have had the exposure I have.

[ConsAreLiars]

31. Thanks for looking through

Luke Powell's photos. They tell far more truth about Afghanistan than the Corporate Media will even hint at. My fantasy world would have every human at the age of 20-30 given a free 2nd class bus/train/plane pass to anywhere and not allowed to return within one year. No one can ever go anywhere, unless shielded by enclosed compounds and military bases) without learning that "we" includes them.

[Mari333]

34. everythings fine here

[crimsonblue]

37. yes.

[EFerrari]

38. Nothing from your (great) posts. What I HAVE been getting is a page load error

pretty consistently just after 1 am Pacific. For a few weeks now, sometime between 1 and 1:30, I can't load DU.

[Adsos Letter]

39. I don't know about the page load errors...

but I am glad you are enjoying the posts! :D
