All - If there ever was a time to read SHTF books, It was during the Bush administration. And we have a staggering amount of damage To undo, before we can truly move forward again. Willow bark is natural aspirin. Salicylic acid, I believe. http://www.umm.edu/altmed/articles/willow-bark-000281.htm ho...

It happens. Something about human nature...... :roll: Sam Salmon - It certainly is.

Re: Gratefulness
His criticism was that I worked incredibly hard all the time but never congratulated myself. Excellent advice. You cannot be grateful for others until you are grateful for yourself. Cognito - And just how are "aliens and ghosts" Different from God? Just wondering.................. hoka he...

I will bow to your experience. But would the same techniques be used in the very different conditions of the mid east? kbs224 - Yup. Arrow straighteners of similar geometry are spread across the Globe, and across time. The key to this is the cognitive understanding of the behavior of Lignin when he...

Pictures
All - http://dsc.discovery.com/news/slideshows/marijuana-stash.html Simply incredible cognitive/cultural assemblage. And now i know what that damn kongou harp looks like! The other thing which astonished me is the picture of the wool Cloth. It does not appear to be plainweave, but A (simple) twill. ...

Re: Origins
Paul Renne strikes again - in a good way. So we are now pushing on the 300,000 year mark for H. sapiens . The article brings to mind one of the rebuttal arguments for Valsequillo - the technology found was too sophisticated at 250Kya to be valid. This article demonstrates otherwise. The question I ...

As I understood it John, it wasn't so much for straightening out a bend in the shaft as a kind of smoothing, or sander-grinder, tool to take out nicks etc. kbs224 - Not so. It is actually a multistep process. Shit, this takes me back 38 years to when I was living In an isolated one room cabin in th...

John: Good guess based on the size of the hole. The problem is that once an explanation like that is accepted, it starts to be applied out of context. I remember a lot of sites around Israel where they found donut shaped objects in an obvious military context. They insisted on calling them “loom we...

John: My best memory of I5 was when, despite my waving my arms around while being followed to try and show we were having a heated discussion, a CHP pulled the local guy I was with over for speeding. Sitting on the right, I could tell he wasn’t going to write up my driver, just slow him down. The q...
