The X-ray Project

Posted in Israel, Middle East, Philosophy & Religion, Pictures, Political, Religion by livingjourney on April 29th, 2008

The X-ray Project is a site that will open your eyes to the horrors of terrorism. The X-rays and CT-scans are from the two largest hospitals in Jerusalem.

Even after spending fifteen minutes in the “spa” in the next room, this was very silencing. I have very little to say about this exhibit but am thinking and feeling plenty. Reading the stories and explanations took me, for moments at a time, into pieces of the horror of each of these humans, bodies, souls. A nearly literal stun to the mind.

For all you wannabe authors out there…

Posted in Personal, Resources by livingjourney on April 29th, 2008

Just HAD to blog this…

Was cruising around and googled ‘blogging books’, and found the BEST site for all of you wannabe authors out there.

Blurb.com” is the place to go.

All you have to do is download their free bookmaking software, and then you can start to get your creative juices running. Blurb.com has many templates and backgrounds, fonts and just about everything you need.

The great thing is you can order just one of your books or as many as you like. You can go hard cover or soft cover with a dust jacket. The website has a forum to browse to make your bookmaking a pleasant experience. And the pricing is really good too.

They ship out to places that I haven’t even heard of. And for those of us that happen to live in the greatest country on earth (down under) they even ship out across that great blue ocean to us Aussies.

And for all of those who desperately want to turn their blogs into books… you can do that too!

Anyway… I thought that was very exciting news… pass this news on if you like!

Or, if you have another bookmaking website that offers us wannabe authors a better deal..Please let us know!!!

Those Diggers!

Just thought you would like to know…

The Park of the Australian Soldier“, an initiative of the Pratt Foundation (one of the largest philanthropy in Australia that contributes heavily

towards Israeli causes), will be officially dedicated on April 28 in Beersheba.

The date coincides with ANZAC day, which falls on April 25 every year in Australia and New Zealand to remember members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who landed at Gallipoli in Turkey during World War I.

The victory of the Australian Light Horse Division’s 4th Brigade against the Turkish on October 31, 1917, was a significant event in both Australian military history and in the history of the Middle East region.

That minimalist feeling!!!

Posted in Personal by livingjourney on April 29th, 2008

Yeah… I am doing some “housework” as Carla puts it!

Feel the need to clean!

Funny thing though… I really need to do some real housework, but this is so much funner!
