Your Roman-Style Garnet & Copper Earrings could easily have been worn by a Roman woman of the first century. This style was very popular, and much of the Greek artistic tradition was absorbed into the Roman economy and art tastes and values. Ancient Romans were avid collectors of ancient artifacts.
This is the most powerful ancient style Copper Earring Set you’ll ever buy. Here’s what you should have received in your kit — check each item off this list to make sure you have everything you’re supposed to have in the kit:
It’s easy to make a pendant from a single piece of wire. Later, we’ll see how to use several pieces of differing dimensions to create a more complex form, but here’s the simple solution to a real Iron-Age Pendant.
Start with a 6 inch length of .12 gauge or .14 gauge wire.
With your needlenose pliers, gently COAX the wire into a nice, wide loop, big enough inside to accommodate not merely a chain, but the clasp of a chain as well. Like I said, big, roomy, lots of space in there. Continue reading
First of all, you have to have a gold mine somewhere. This is a photo of the Prosperity Mining Claim in Nevada County, California. Note that it’s a nondescript general photo of the small stream on the property. There are no identifiable reference points in the photo — that’s because I don’t intend to give away the location of the mine, because I don’t want swarms of city folks blasting away at the bedrock out of sheer greed.
If you’re taking minerals out, notably gold, lead, silver and iron pyrites, along with several of the heavier gemstones such as garnet, which is used to make carborundum polishing compounds, you have two basic choices, once you’ve located an outcropping or gold ledge — go with heavy equipment and blasting powder, or take a little at a time.
Here’s the thing — gold mining by itself never pays more than survival and a tiny bit extra for sex, booze and camp supplies.
Oh, yes, when you mine full-time, you live there, either in a tent or an expensive home built right on the claim site. Of course, if you give up the claim, you lose the house, unless the claim is patented, and that’s a whole ball of wax right there. I’ll explain: Continue reading
Reincarnation Relic Rings — that’s what I’m doing tonight, all night long, custom rings made to your specifications, by date, by location or by occult powers of stones.
Even ancient glass has profound occult effects, and some glass is over 1200 years old, dating to the earliest known manufacture of glass, which is more or less melted sand, but with various elements added to the mix to make a variety of types of glass, everything from dark green all the way to brilliant opalescent clarity.
I have made many Relic Rings, but never had the packaging that could let them sell without me being right there to custom-explain the thing, and that goes double for online sales.
With the New Improved Packaging System, we get several things.
So from whence came all these relics and ancient objects? Continue reading

BARDOTOWN FULL-COLOR PHOTOPRINT GREETING CARDS $8.95
Now, at last, my pinhole-photography taken with my antique Canon AE-1 with Fuji Color Film, is available as stunningly color-printed on a million-dollar printing machine, and mounted professionally on a 100% archival heavy rag cream pastel paper with a matching envelope, packaged for resale & counter-top & Point-of-Purchase racks. Wholesale price is only $3.95 apiece, no further discount. These cards are expensive to produce, but totally worth it.

So won’t you give my BardoTown photo greeting cards a try? They look great, and sell well, and they’re a great way to introduce subjects like parallel worlds, past lives and end of life. Continue reading
Is the Internet actually evil? No more so than the telephone lines or the equipment that handles millions of calls a minute. The Internet is a virtual Post Office. Nobody can possibly maintain an effective vigil on postal mail and telegram and teletype and messenger-delivered and air-freighted that pass between millions of people at a time, much less the CMT — Casual Message Traffic — that has developed electronically, where someone might write into their facebook or twitter log several dozen times an hour, the equivalent of snail-mail output of hundreds of letters per day to hundreds of friends all over the world, and all that electronic chatter is sent over some kind of wire, whether metal, light-optic fibre, radio, short-wave, wireless transmitter, Atlantic Cable, or somebody pounding on a talking drum.
The mail services around the world do not typically encourage their folks to send porn through the mails, but all over the world, they do, and in other countries besides the United States, they don’t have to send them in “plain brown wrappers” as folks used to do back in the Good Old Days, 1930 to the present time, yet we don’t say that the mail services are responsible for porn.
Scavengers and derelicts and scoundrels abound, but then, they always have. Anyone unfortunate enough to end up a victim of some kind of Fagan, the pickpocket boss from the musical “Oliver”, based on “Oliver Twist”, a famous Dickens novel about a boy who went from pickpocket to millionaire overnight, just by singing instead of talking.
These days, all the wrappings of civilization and the veneer of congeniality have been stripped away. Never mind who’s at fault. People who are badly educated or uneducated have no idea about the world beyond their own skins, and no concept of a world larger than their immediate territory and personal needs.
The United States used to have one of the finest educational systems in the world. Today, it ranks near the bottom, and that includes many undeveloped nations.
Education pays off. Continue reading
We’re at the end of the very first week of our new Android Godd Engine and in our third decade in the GODD Engine. The Android engine, which I have dubbed “AndyGoDD” has accepted BardoTown without groaning too much, so I’m ready to prepare a map for release, and the very first map we’re trying to bring out into the Android app store is BardoTown, my largest and most complex map. Why the toughest, most demanding and most likely map to go wrong, for our very first Android effort? Think about it.
We need to know what parts break down first, if any, and I have to know for sure that most of the folks who download it will be able to use it on their Android smartphone. Continue reading
The official word is this: KEEP WHATEVER YOU WANT TO KEEP on the 3250 meters level. This level will not be taken down. It will function as an advanced student area and you can put your shrine, temple or home at the 3250 meters level. What you’re seeing in the screenshot above is the GROUND LEVEL street layout. You are expected to build there, and to take note of the layout and the fact that it’s a community and not a free-for-all battleground of contrasting tastes and values. That’s strictly for the ape-descendents.
So what about all the other stuff on your parcel???
You have only so many prims to spend. Prims are like your Net Worth, your bank account plus everything else you have. When you run out of Prims, you need a larger space or you must cut back what you’ve put up, which I’ve done hundreds of times, wiping out thousands of hours of previous work in order to make the improvements my advancing skills will allow.
I’ll cover all the details in this morning’s broadcast at 6:30 am PST, but basically there IS A PLAN and you need to find out what the plan is and make your parcel conform with the plan as soon as you’re able. There’s plenty of room for self-expression in the plan, but you MUST take the plan into account when taking action on your parcel!!!
See You At The Top!!!
