With another steaming pile of cryptic sayings, Archer Quinn is officially bidding his all-too-entertaining free energy project farewell. From what we can gather, he's decided that the problem of free energy is really too simple to warrant his time and effort -- we're all "monkeys" who let The Man keep us down with Newton's outdated laws of physics. "You look but you do n
Two billion dollars is a lot of cash for "general corporate purchases". Sounds more like it is for a "investment in long term opportunity".

I have been asked to review the Archer line of energy drinks from multiple readers, so I stopped putting it off and here it is. I guess I was overdue. Targets are everywhere so trying out their private label energy drink from Archer Farms makes sense in giving many readers an accessible energy drink to learn about. Archer Farms Energy Drinks come in several flavors, but I’m going to start off

The Archer's Tale is the first book in the Grail Quest series by historical fiction writer, Bernard Cornwell. It is set toward the beginning of the Hundred Years War in France, in the 14th century. As per his obligatory historical note at the end of the book, all of the major battles are mostly historically accurate with the characters and the places.The story is mostly told from the point of view of Thomas of Hookton, a bastard child of a priest from southern England. Following a raid on Hookton, Thomas, already excelling with the bow, flees and joins a unit of arms that serves the king of England. The underlying tale, behind the invasions and battles, is of a Christian relic, a lance that is old ash and warped but is said to possess power, a la Gabriel's feather, or the leg bone of the d

Somerset: 74-year-old Tilly Trotter has achieved the rare feat of firing an arrow into the back of her previous arrow and splitting it. Peter Jones from the Grand National Archery Society says it is comparable to acing two holes in a round of golf.Adding to the odds is the fact that Tilly has been blind for 17 years and only took up archery two years ago. She aims her shots based on her husband telling her where her previous shots hit."The second arrow made such a noise going into the back of the first that I thought I had hit the ceiling. Then I heard people jumping up and down and shouting. But it was a bit of a fluke," said Tilly. Source: Thesun.co.uk

ConocoPhillips, the third-biggest U.S. oil company, and Archer Daniels Midland Co., the world's largest grain processor, agreed to collaborate on development of renewable fuels derived from biomass to boost alternative energy supplies. The alliance will research and try to commercialize conversion of biomass from crops, wood or prairie grass into transportation fuels, the companies said today in a statement. Annual research investment will be at least $5 million ``for many years,'' said Lou Burke, manager of biofuels at Houston- based ConocoPhillips. Biofuels, including ethanol made from corn starch and biodiesel made from soy beans, are drawing increased interest as energy sources after demand growth and concern over the adequacy of supplies pushed oil prices to record highs. ``ConocoPhillips believes that the development of next- generation biofuels is a critical step in the diversification of our nation's energy sources,''

I received an advance copy of Alex Archer's Rogue Angel: God of Thunder.Publisher: Gold Eagle (July 10, 2007)ISBN-10: 0373621256ISBN-13: 978-0373621255I have read all of the Rogue Angel books.

The sword has some mystical properties and for some reason causes Annja to be a trouble magnet. She is often drawn into fantastic adventures, quite often to right a wrong or bring justice to the downtrodden.God of Thunder is no different. It is part murder mystery, part action adventure.Like most good adventures, God of Thunder starts off with a gripping action sequence. Annja is attacked by four men who are masquerading as law enforcement. She immediately is involved with a chase and running gun battle. At first she has no idea why these men are gunning for her.Then Annja receives a mysterious package from and old friend. Before she ca

In a part of the Underground Railroad, a mystery has been uncovered…one dating back to the before the Civil War. The remains of several slaves have been found. But archeologist Annja Creed discovers that these aren’t just any slaves.

Another installment in the adventures of Annja Creed. Annja is up to her neck in murder, mystery and mayhem again, this time from California's gold rush ghost town to the desert of Eastern China.Annja is asked by Huangfu Cao to help find the remains of a Chinese immigrant who was murdered in Volcanoville, a gold rush shanty town in the hills around San Francisco.Cao claims he is searching for the remains of an ancestor to return him home for burial.

Annja'a knack for survival, not to mention the Sword of Joan of Arc, keep her alive an one step ahead of death. Annja escapes the killers and is rescued by park rangers.The police try to protect her, but fail and she loses the plaque,
This book has a different flavor from the others in the series that I have read. Annja Creed is an archaeologist that is a trouble magnet. That is due to the fact that she has been gifted with Joan of Arc's sword along with mystical powers, not to mention enhanced speed and strength. Annja is drawn into the investigation of Santo Nino, the Holy Child, while on a dig in New Mexico. Also drawn into the mystery of the Child is a Jesuit priest, Father Robert Godin. He is more a religious troubleshooter of cop than a priest. His character is an interesting addition to the mythology of the Rogue Angel. His involvement becomes even more interesting when he is revealed to be the latest incarnation of the Inquisition. The resolution to the story leaves an opening for some interesting interactions between her and the Catholic Church. Garin puts in a small appearance, but there is no real development of that character. Annja is stalked once again by monsters, both human and non-human. which lea
Annja Creed is an archeologist with a problem. She is broke. She takes a job as a reporter for a cable TV archeological tabloid show called Chasing Histories Monsters . Her income helps to support her serious archeology work. She is the only person associated with the show that takes the history seriously. She is a professional and is disappointed that the others involved with the show are not.The book starts off in France where she is searching La Bête, a local mythological creature responsible for many deaths in the late 1600s. The book starts off with a great action sequence that introduces her main antagonist for this story, a vicious criminal named LeSauvage, who for his own reasons is searching for the monster.Annja is a scrapper, and has been her entire life. She grew up in a Catholic orphanage in New Orleans. Her life has been a series of tests that have tempered her character into someone that you have to respect. A comparison may be made between her and Lara Croft, but I thi
Tasmin Archer - “Sleeping Satellite”
I blame you for the moonlit sky
And the dream that died
With the eagles flight
I blame you for the moonlit nights
When I wonder why
Are the seas still dry
Don’t blame this sleeping satellite
Did we fly to the moon too soon
Did we squander the chance
In the rush of the race
The reason we chase is lost in romance
And still we try
To justify the waste
For a taste of man’s greatest adventure
I blame you for the moonlit sky
And the dream that died
With the eagles flight
I blame you for the moonlit nights
When I wonder why
Are the seas still dry
Don’t blame this sleeping satellite
Have we lost what it takes to advance
Have we peaked too soon
If the world is so great
Then why does it scream under a blue moon
We wonder why
If the earth’s sacrificed
For the price of its greatest treasure
I blame you for the moonlit sky
And the dream that died
With the eagles flight
I blame you for the moonlit nights
When I wonder w

Dave Archer Space Paintings on glass.In reverse glass painting, Dave Archer applies paint to the back side of the glass, which in essence makes the glass his canvas. This is a difficult process that yields effects unparalleled by other painting techniques: vibrant colors, depth of view, even a sense of movement or three dimensions. He mixes media, using a variety of paints and unconventional materials such as metallic powders, crystals, and other substances. Then he hits the mixture with his signature process, using high voltage of electricity to add nebulosity and other fantastic details to his paintings. Amazing technique!Artist's GalleryDave Archer Electric MachinesSource: Dave Archer's personal website
