WorldNetDaily: 'Da Vinci Code' errors: A quick list

WorldNetDaily: 'Da Vinci Code' errors: A quick list: "We are all entitled to our own opinions, but we are not entitled to our own facts. It is OK for a novelist to create a fictional story and even a fictional setting if he wishes. What you can't do with impunity is create a fictional foreground and fictional background, the latter of which you claim is based on fact. That is precisely what Dan Brown has done. His novel, 'The Da Vinci Code,' claims to be based on facts, but his 'facts' are just as much fiction as his fiction.

Upon examination, 'The Da Vinci Code' is chock full of errors. Some are unimportant; others, if true, would spell the end of Christianity. Here is a short list of 'Da Vinci Code' errors. More errors from the book are rebutted on the new documentary special, 'The Da Vinci Delusion,' which airs May 13 and May 14 nationwide. For listings, go to www.davincidelusion.tv."

WorldNetDaily: Coulter's hottest book ever

WorldNetDaily: Coulter's hottest book ever: "In 'Godless,' she throws open the doors of the Church of Liberalism, showing us:

* its sacraments (abortion)

* its holy writ (Roe v. Wade)

* its martyrs (from Soviet spy Alger Hiss to cop-killer Mumia Abu Jamal)

* its clergy (public school teachers)

* its churches (government schools, where prayer is prohibited but condoms are free)

* its doctrine of infallibility (as manifest in the 'absolute moral authority' of spokesmen from Cindy Sheehan to Max Cleland)

* and its cosmology (in which mankind is an inconsequential accident)

Then, of course, there's the liberal creation myth: Charles Darwin's theory of evolution."

Pros and Cons to go to Florida

Thanks for your input, I appreciate that you took the time to review my decision.

Yes, I desire to be settled somewhere at least enough to better hear from the Lord. Hearing the Lord is my deepest desire. This Florida decision has been a great exercise to pursue my goal to improve my hearing from the Lord.

Returning to IT After a Hiatus? - Tech & IT Job Resources from Monster.com

Returning to IT After a Hiatus? - Tech & IT Job Resources from Monster.com: "Indeed, employers often view techies who have been out of the workforce a year or longer as stale, even if their most recent position involved technologies still in use. And if your technical knowledge is no longer relevant, even if the underlying experience is still applicable, the bar for returning is that much higher. An example would be a programmer with expertise in out-of-date languages.

Gausman says techies who want to return at the same level should take no more than six months off. A break of one or two years means 'you're going to have to be willing to take a lesser position.'

Jon Byrd, principal of IT staffing firm Eximer Technology Solutions, similarly says techies returning to the field after being away a year or longer will often 'have to take a less-than-optimal position to get some hands-on skills.'

But others are more optimistic. 'Up to two years, returning to IT is very possible,' says Joshua Feinberg, cofounder of Computer Consulting 101, a training firm for IT consultants. 'Between two and five years, it's possible but difficult. More than five years, you'd be facing an uphill battle.'"
