I’m not sure if this is real or not but was found on some recent lead plates in Jordan.
Some archeologists say these plates could be the greatest discovery since the dead sea scrolls.
Because the plates are small they might have been someones personal plates rather than official church relics.
It looks like Jesus might have had a very broad chin from what I can make out. So what do you think? Real or fake?
Have you ever had one of those moments when you are watching a movie and there is a particular part that catches your attention and sticks with you until the right moment comes to apply it to your life? Well, mine is from National Treasure and this is the moment.
Remember towards the end of the movie and the good guys are being held hostage and forced to help the bad guys find the treasure? And as they are walking along held at gun point, the wise older father turns to his son, and says “You have to change the status quo.”
Well, imagine me as the wise older father and the court houses of Marshall, Texarkana, and Tyler Texas as the son, “You have to change the status quo.” because your being held hostage.
This trend of money-hungry patent trolls coming to these towns must stop. There has been a status quo established in the eastern district of Texas that has helped to intensify the illegitament business of making money off of bought out patents.
This status quo includes sped up court process specifically for patent infringement and a high percentage of victory for plaintiffs of these cases. Now there is not much you can do about the jury’s findings because jury tampering is illegal.
But one thing to consider is the manner in which the judges are handling the court process of these particular cases. A set of “no nonsense” rules have been established in which lawyers are given a limit of time to present all paper work and are timed by a chess timer when presenting their case in which they are abruptly stopped if the timer goes off.
These types of things are a major part of why their courts are found so appealing for this abuse. In order for these judges to continue their commitment to the betterment of our nation they must change the status quo held in their court houses.
Andy’s Frozen Custard in Tyler Texas is not your typical ice cream parlor. This retro styled frozen custard kiosk has become a quick favorite of local Tyler residents since it’s opening a few years ago.
A good ice cream shop is always appreciated, however as appreciated Andy’s has been they do not serve ice cream per se. Andy’s makes a similar yet distinct dessert called frozen custard which shares the same ingredients with ice cream while adding eggs to the formula, giving the frozen concoction a more dense, thicker alternative to traditional plain ice cream.
The custard at Andy’s is made every hour using Andy’s custom design custard machines in order to ensure absolute quality and freshness. Andy’s has a extensive selection of toppings and combinations to improve and customize your frozen custard. Feel free to build your own specific custard creation or simply order one of Andy’s favorites from the menu of thoughtfully constructed custard combo’s of complimentary confections collected carefully conflating cream and garnish.
Traditional treats such as banana splits and chocolate malts are readily available along with original Andy’s innovations like the James Brownie Funky Jackhammer which has no choice but to live up to the all mighty name of James Brown through grandma’s homemade brownies, peanut butter and hot fudge just how Andy’s imagines the god of funk might possibly like his frozen custard. Andy’s is the perfect refreshing and decadent frozen dessert for the scorching summer months in Tyler.
Andy’s is open extended hours during the summer so you can grab sweet frozen relaxation any time from 11:00 am to 11:30am Sunday through Thursday or until 12:00am Fridays and Saturdays, providing a innocent and accessible location to enjoy some time out with your friends or family during the peak of the weekend. Although Andy’s does not have an indoor dining area, there is a large concrete patio for you to eat concretes on while socializing.
A few benches surround their patio which are often occupied making the Andy’s sign a popular resort for sitting when most busy. Andy’s also offers a drive through to all those who need custard on the go, while many simply choose to remain in the comfort of their vehicle while staying at Andy’s simply to get out of the house and essentially relive the age old custom of drive in restaurants. Andy’s has brought a unique dessert to Tyler and we could not be more grateful for it’s soft melting goodness.
I love personal small time computer shops. The truth is you don’t need to walk into Best Buy and other larger electronics stores to get your computer repaired.
If you live in Lindale you will find Advanced Computer Repair right off I20 across from the Country Store gas station and Ellis Pharmacy. Once up on the Hideaway Lake service road just look to your right beyond the banks and you will see Advanced Computer Repair next to a pet boarding business.
Advanced Computer Repair doesn’t just offer personalized computer and laptop repair but also sells refurbished laptops and desktop computers. This means you get these computers for super cheap prices compared to full retail at Best Buy and Walmart.
I stopped by the other day simply to pick up a USB mouse for $10. The service man was friendly, knowledgable and genuinely seemed to care about helping me.
What you get from this Lindale TX computer and laptop repair shop is a lot of personalized expert advice. He will let you know what might be wrong with your laptop and give you status as repair is done. If you simply have a virus or small minor issue he may be able to repair it right on the spot while your still in the store.
I rarely get directly involved in too many community causes outside those promoted by my local church. It’s not that I lack core values; it’s just that I’m not that good a person! No honestly, I find somber events dealing with life and illness outside the realm of religion to be kind of hollow, especially given the fact that I feel essentially powerless to make any quantifiable difference. Ritual apart from faith has always struck me as rather empty. I whole heartily commend those who work tirelessly on behalf of others, and I try to contribute in at least some small way to charity, but I seldom participate in the surrounding pomp and circumstance. Well there’s an event happening in Tyler next week that even I can support.
The Assist Autism Foundation will be holding a community day in the park event, in order to raise awareness concerning the disease. The day’s events will include bouncy houses, face painting, children’s yoga, (whatever that is), great music, and whole litany of other activities. Participation in most events is free; although I’m sure there will be opportunities to give for those who are so inclined. There are a number of local businesses and organizations sponsoring the event which will run from ten am to two pm. It’s an up- beat day of community involvement that promises to be fun for the kids in particular, and goes to supporting a great cause. Businesses and organizations who are interested in taking a more direct and active part can call 903-509-4430.
On a not completely related note, parents or family members of Autistic children who would like to connect with other families in similar circumstances, or simply get some general and anonymous advice are invited to visit the following web page: http://www.findingjackson.com “Finding Jackson” is a great resource, and will hopefully be an encouragement to many families struggling with Autism.
