Ormus or M-state elements became a known phenomena in the scientific world after David Hudson found some unusual material in the soil on his land and had it analyzed. He originally brought a batch of the material and laid it in the sun to dry. While it dried, suddenly there was a flash of light and it disappeared. He found another sampling but didn’t put it the sun. This sample made it to the research lab without incident.

The laboratory found the soil contained several substances such as gold, silver, iron and platinum, but even when all the elements were removed, 98 percent of the original material still remained. He took it from lab to lab and each time learned more about the substance. At one point he found that it was a solid until it heated to 70 degrees, then it lost its material form. When the air was cooled, the material Read the rest of this entry »

 Hersonissos,

Crete,

Greece

February 2008

Dear David,

I don’t know really what possessed me to even think doing this, but never having been further than Sitia to the east of Hersonissos, I decided that I would take a ride out to Kato Zakros on the eastern coast of Crete. I suppose I do have the advantage of being able to [tag]travel[tag] to any part of the island whenever I want without the tourist traffic during the summer months, so it was a good a time as any to go! And I suppose even gay accommodation owners are allowed out for the day sometimes.

 Leaving my house on a bright and sunny, but rather blustery, February morning, I headed for St. Nicholas, a trip that takes about 25 minutes along the main road. Summer time it takes a bit longer because Malia is a bit of a bottleneck, a problem soon to be solved when the next stage of the New National Road opens, which will bypass Malia. (My latest road map is being a little optimistic and showing this as already complete, inevitably this will lead to several lost tourists during the next couple of years!)

 Beyond St. Nicholas the road turns into a single-track affair, but it is still quite a fast road as it is still the main road to Ierapetra. There are fewer villages along this way, but as the road climbs and twists there are some marvellous views over Mirabello Bay, and, of course, that stunning blue sea! From the Ierapetra junction, at Pachia Ammos, the road goes inland and twists and turns, passing through few villages on its way to Sitia. Read the rest of this entry »

Planning a party for a kid can sometimes be a big headache if you are not up to the task. In this article you will find how Aunt Susan turns this big headache into a big joy and fun for all the party kids. Are you ready to play a game with her?

Back in the living room, after the feast, when we oldsters normally became drowsy and the youngsters fussy or boisterous as their temperaments dictated, Aunt Susan roused us all with a suggestion. She reminded us that as Puritans we still had our houses to build. These forebears of ours were self-sufficient as far as building materials were concerned. They were thrifty too. If one man had more of a commodity than he could use he would trade it for something he lacked. She then gave each of us an envelope of paper money, which was cut from cardboard. Instantly we became merchants, and dealers in house building materials.

Aunt Susan was the storekeeper. On hand she had a supply of cardboard logs some twelve inches long, others six inches and still others three inches long. Also a supply of windows and doors cut from cardboard. Each one was given five cardboard logs to start with. The paper cash each had was insufficient to buy a complete house, so it was necessary to barter.

Swords were not effective weapons until the dawn of the Bronze Age, and truly became great tools of war during the Iron Age. Previous to this era, rough blades were fashioned from flint, wood, or other materials like bones and antlers. While these materials were effective for clubbing, cutting and piercing, metal swords are vastly superior to their ancestors.

It was not until man found copper around 3700 BC that swords could be considered truly effective. Copper on its own was very soft and swords crafted from this material needed frequent sharpening. Read the rest of this entry »
