Dedication: May all that is on this web site and all that is in the heart of the designer be to the Glory of God, the Father, and Jesus Christ, his only Son. An Important Word From God: John 1:12-13 "Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God - children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God."

There is good reason to know that man made "pollutants" are not causing global warming. In fact, the weather has control over CO2 and there are twice as many polar bears now as there were in 1950! Answers-in-Genesis and Coral Ridge Ministries got together to look at the real evidence on this issue and the facts are dramatic. They show that man is not influencing temperature by the creation of "greenhouse gases." This team effort produced a very informative 50 minute video, Global Warming: A Scientific and Biblical Expose of Climate Change, that you can view for free or purchase for $7.99 and download from the web (under "We Also Recommend" toward the bottom of the Answers In Genesis webpage). It is worth the effort. Become informed before we are stuck with legislation that is completely unnecessary, extremely expensive, and tax draining on everything we do. You can view it for free at this webpage: Click here. (Back to top) A Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) Estimator; An Excel spreadsheet. Please drink responsibly. Download BAC Calculator Now! (36kb) I do not advocate the use of Alcohol, but for those who do use it, here is a handy educational tool that can be used to estimate the approximate level of Alcohol in the blood after a given number of drinks at whatever level of Alcohol content (proof) is appropriate. I used three sources to develop this estimator: the National Highway Safety Administration formula, Duke University and the University of Oklahoma. Details are in the spreadsheet.   NOTE: Many factors can enter into the determination of a person's true Blood Alcohol Level. This tool is for rough estimations only, as an educational tool, to show the probable effects of levels of drinking and when it may be time to quit for the evening. If you are seriously concerned about knowing your BAC level when you are drinking (and anyone who drinks when they may have to drive latter should be), get a personal BAC meter. Google "BAC meter" for some places to purchase one. Office Max even sells one for about $50.00. They are cheaper than a DUI ticket. I assume no responsibility for how you may choose to use this calculator, or the consequences of your actions, if you do. (Back to top) My Wundergound Weather Photos. (Back to top) Ever see a Minuteman ICBM launch? I spent four years as a missile combat crew commander for the Minuteman system. We had Minuteman I-Bs which were not quite as sophisticated as the multiple warhead IIIs seen in the video linked below, but they could do a job if needed. I was on one of these tests, but our missile blew up as the second stage ignited. This test went a lot better. I spent two years as a Combat Crew Commander with the 320th Strategic Missile Squadron at Frances E. Warren A.F.B. at Cheyenne Wyoming and two more years as an Airborne Combat Crew Commander with the 4th Airborne Command and Control Squadron (4th ACCS) at Ellsworth A.F.B. just outside of Rapid City, South Dakota. This YouTube link shows the journey of a test missile This YouTube links is a TV live look inside a missile command control center. The ones I worked in were configured a bit differently but were the same size. (Back to top) Enjoy My YouTube Videos at the YouTube site. Ever see a 360 degree Rainbow? I made one with my "widdel wadder hose." It's on YouTube also. YouTube videos of a carrier style TBM Avenger (Tactical Bomber - Medium) that visited the Bolingbrook Cavalcade of Planes sponsored by the Illinois Aviation Museum at Bolingbrook's Clow International Airport June 7, 2009. This reconditioned TBM Avenger bears the tail number of "63" which was George H.W. Bush's plane number (he flew this model in WWII).
