The names stratosphere and stratopause come from the Latin stratum ("a cover"), implying a layered or stratified condition without vertical mixing. The stratosphere extends from an altitude of 18 kilometers (11 miles) above sea level to about 48 kilometers (30 miles).

Some people fear alligators, but there are not many authentic cases of alligators attacking people. Most reports have not been backed by facts.

In this paragraph, the word authentic means:
A. long
B. thin
C. real
D. lengthy

(Not much excitement there either.... the only books I have close to me at the moment are Michael's workbooks. :D )

"The Bible Exposition Commentary, Volume II" by Warren Wiersbe". He's writing about Ephesians 6. If anyone ever wants to really understand the bible like never before, this stuff is the best!!

I have a number of books beside me. I work in a library. ;) I am at home, but I check a lot of books out all the time. I have about 45 items out right now. :D (Keep in mind that even though I am a heathen backslider that we don't watch TV so videos are included in that list of 45.)

Another book I have beside me:

"It made me wonder why I heard Tupac talking about juveniles getting sent to prison.....but never for a second did I think it could happen to me!" From A Question of Freedom A Memoir of Learning, Survival, and Coming of Age in Prison.

It all begins with a cry. And the kind the psalmist was talking about erupts from the deepest part of a person's soul as if his or her life depends on it.

Reading a missionary story from Sudan. She is talking about (p. 59) riding a train and the dust being so thick, she couldn't see out of her glasses, so she just went to bed.

2nd book beside me: "Embrace the Struggle" by Zig Ziglar. "Although they have given their struggle to God, that does not mean that the daily struggle becomes easier and their lives are stress free." He's talking about a family of a little boy with DMD - a type of Muscular Dystrophy.

Bosendorfer pianos were established in 1828 by Ignaz Bosendorfer in Vienna, Austria. They still build about 300 pianos a year in Vienna, in which 90% are exported around the world.

They are now owned by the Austrian banking company BAWAG-P.S.K Group.

Page 59 of Pritchard's Ancient Near Eastern Texts - an excerpt from the Epic of Gilgamesh:

On the road from which there is no way back,
To the house wherein the dwellers are bereft of light,
Where dust is their fare and clay is their food,
They are clothed like birds, with wings for garments,
And see no light, residing in darkness,
In the House of Dust, which I entered,
I looked at rulers, their crowns were put away;
I saw princes, those born to the crown,
Who had ruled the land from the days of yore.
These doubles of Anu and Enlil were serving meat roasts;
They were serving bake meat and pouring cool water from the waterskins.
