Even more fun is that they offer Google Earth add-ons that show traffic going to some of the country's most popular airports including: Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago's O'Hare, Atlanta and New York's John F. Kennedy. Download the files for these airports for use in Google Maps.

Once you load the map, be sure to zoom in towards each airport and tilt the camera up from the runways to watch them land! The picture to the right is showing the flights coming in over Lake Michigan landing on 27L and 27R.

If you are an aviation buff download Google Earth and head over to fboweb.com today."

Octopus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Octopus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "An octopus's camouflage is aided by certain specialized skin cells which can change the apparent color, opacity, and reflectiveness of the epidermis. Chromatophores contain yellow, orange, red, brown, or black pigments; most species have three of these colors, while some have two or four."

One bath — Of wine. The bath contained about eight gallons. Thus an acre did not yield one gallon.

An ephah — Which was of the same quantity with the bath, only the bath was the measure of liquid things, the ephah of dry things; and a ephah was the tenth part of an homer. So instead of the increase which that fruitful land commonly yielded, they should loose nine parts of their seed."

Cows of Bashan, Oaks of Bashan
Cattle have been raised in this area, in ancient times as well as today. Both beef and dairy cattle are currently raised in the Golan Heights. In biblical times, this area (known as Bashan) was known for its cattle and its oak trees. Amos 4:1-2 (NASB) “Hear this word, you cows of Bashan..." (cf. Ps 22:12). Zechariah 11:2 (KJV) “Howl, fir tree; for the cedar is fallen; because the mighty are spoiled: howl, O ye oaks of Bashan; for the forest of the vintage is come down” (cf. Isa 2:13).

I set my face like a flint

Flint arrow head found in Rogestorps mossen (R...FLINT ARROW HEAD FOUND IN ROGESTORPS MOSSEN (ROGESTORP BOG) THE YEAR 1940, 4 KM SOUTH OF FALKĂ–PING, ...Image via Wikipedia
In reading scriptures today I came across this verse and wondered what it meant to be like flint.

For the Lord God will help me, therefore shall I not be confounded. Therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.


I found this web site:

Set Your Faith and Trust Like Flint! « Thoughts, Words & Devotions by Tim Burt
Flint is a variety of quartz that, due to its extreme hardness, is easily shaped by flaking. Known and used since very ancient times, flint was used by the Israelites for knives, ax heads, arrow heads, spear heads and starting fires. God wants us to be immovable by circumstances instead standing hard core like flint in His promises. .... When we draw close to Him with that kind of tenacity, God will help us see the cup half-filled while He is filling it the rest of the way. Our face will be set like flint and our faith ignited.
I think it interesting that flint flakes off easily but in one direction.  The Lord wants us to be focused, being hard and tenacious in following him, but easily bent to his will (flake off) but only his will (one direction.)
