For borrowers, the allure is the prospect of securing an interest rate that's lower than the 6% to 16% that conventional lenders charge for private loans"

Comfort Food -- Ray Comfort's Blog: Special Post--from <em>How to Know God Exists</em>: "It is legitimate, though, to ask: How can we know the Bible is divinely inspired? The Bible declares that it is the Word of God, His communication to humanity, so He certainly would give us evidence that it truly is His Word. The fulfilled prophecies, the amazing consistency, and the many scientific statements of the Bible provide evidence that it is supernatural in origin. We will look at some examples, and then we’ll consider what it is that gives even more credibility to the reality of God and the inspiration of the Scriptures."

Truth Or Tradition - 23 Arguments for the Historical Validity of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ: "If true, the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is the single most important event in the history of mankind, and therefore the one most crucial to establish as an authentic historical event. In fact, the resurrection is the very linchpin of the Christian faith, holding together every claim and every blessing. If the resurrection could be proven a fraud, Christianity would disintegrate as a total fabrication with little redeeming merit. Jesus would not even be an example of a “good moral teacher,” as some maintain, for his most important prediction—that he would be raised from the dead—would be found a lie."

: "These are pictures I took by hanging cameras from kites, a hobby I've played with on and off over the years. To get the camera to take pictures, I built a 555 timer circuit that, every 13 seconds, throws a relay wired to the camera's shutter button. I used a small delta kite (larger ones on the way) and a cheap $30 digital camera with a large SD card."

How to Roll Your "R"s - wikiHow: "Learning to speak Spanish? Going on vacation to Spain or Mexico and need to brush up on your pronunciation? Living in Canada during 'Roll up the Rim' season? One of the major skills you'll have to perfect is the ability to roll your 'r's, known to linguists as the alveolar trill. It's one example of many trill consonants apparent in a variety of world languages. Sound like a challenge? It can be. Many people have trouble creating the rolling R sound if they have not learned to do so as a child.

Sex, drugs and dating make teens feel older: "Researchers at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, with assistance from the University of Victoria, surveyed a random sample of nearly 700 adolescents from a medium-sized North American city and asked them questions about dating, sexual experience, smoking, alcohol and drug use. The participants, males and females between 12 to 19 years of age, were also asked how old they felt compared to their same-sex peers. Survey results indicated that, as is typical for teens, the sample felt older than their chronological age."
