We are also having record heat in New Mexico, with barely a light rain since the first of May.

I heard a strange statement on the radio recently, that it is a good year for death.

A search turned up a Scottish poet with a poem with that name, a poem memorializing seven dead Scots.

Has anyone else heard this phrase in the media?

Solar neutrino problem
Only one third to one half of predicted number of electron neutrinos were detected; neutrino oscillation explains the difference but requires neutrinos to have mass.
Neutrinos have mass and so can change type.
The solar neutrino problem was a major discrepancy between measurements of the numbers of neutrinos flowing through the Earth and theoretical models of the solar interior, lasting from the mid-1960s to about 2002. Introduction
The Sun is a natural nuclear fusion reactor, powered by a proton–proton chain reaction which converts four hydrogen nuclei (protons) into helium, neutrinos, positrons and energy. The excess energy is released as gamma rays and as kinetic energy of the particles, including the neutrinos — which travel from the Sun's core to Earth without any appreciable absorption by the Sun's outer layers.

Since it was so overblown, I looked up the first hypothesis, that a heavy dose of solar neutrinos heated up the Earth enough to make Yellowstone volcano erupt.

The current solar monitoring satellites are opening the book to how the Sun works, and currently the Sun is much quieter than normal. Events on the Sun are followed daily at www.spaceweather.com .
The Wikipedia article above does not mention a relationship to geomagnetism and neutrinos, the movie to the contrary.

I suspect there is a straight and narrow way for music too, since music is so much a part of us.
We didn't watch American Idol this year, but one gets to be on top by making the music one's own, which means changing it. "When I was growing up", the idea was to learn a song the way it was and pass it on as a hymn to those around us. (Unless it was On Top of Old Smokey or 100 Bottles of Beer On the Wall) I would think in Heaven that the grouping thing would be more prominent.

EARTHQUAKES INJURE HUNDREDS IN IRAN; NUCLEAR SITES NOT DAMAGED
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu

Two powerful earthquakes devastated northern and southern areas of Iran late Friday night and Saturday, but the stricken areas did not include the Islamic Republic’s nuclear sites.
At least one person was killed, and 300 others were injured. The first earthquake, measuring 5.7 on the Richter scale, struck shortly before midnight Friday and was followed by 11 aftershocks. An estimated one-third of the buildings in four villages were demolished.
A second quake in the north, measuring 5.8, struck approximately 600 miles south of Tehran damaging hundreds of homes...no aftershocks...

This (solar flare/CME) has both government officials and satellite manufacturers worrying.

NASA scientists warned recently that high-energy electric pulses from the sun could cripple our electrical grid for years, causing billions in damages. In fact, the House is so concerned that the Energy and Commerce committee voted unanimously to approve a bill allocating $100 million to protect the energy grid from this rare but potentially devastating occurrence.

The sun's activity usually ebbs and flows on a fairly predictable cycle. Typically, a cycle lasts about 11 years, taking roughly 5.5 years to move from a solar minimum, a period of time when there are few sunspots, to peak at the solar maximum, during which sunspot activity is amplified.

The last solar maximum occurred in 2001. The latest minimum was particularly weak and long- lasting.

The most recent solar eruption is one of the first signs that the sun is waking up -- and heading toward another maximum.

Some of those songs you listed are my favorites, too, and have played many of them either on the piano or organ. Oh, btw, Revelation states that in the New World, we will all be singing a 'new song', remember?

Sela,

Ah, but maybe the "new song" will be something really new, something totally unexpected--to you and Donald anyway. Maybe a pagan song like this one?

We are the rising of the moon, we are the shifting of the ground
We are the seed that takes root when we bring the fortress down.
We are the tongue that speaks the truth, we are the dragon on the wind
We are the courage to step forth – we are the change that now begins.

(1) "And they sung a new song, saying, You are worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for you were slain, and have redeemed us to God by your blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation." Revelation 5:9, AKJV.
{quote}"they sung a new song" -- a new revelation of the glory of the Lamb, a new approach to the knowledge of God. (Quoted from "The Final Unveiling," pg. 47, © 1984, by Lois Hoover.)

(2) "And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth." Revelation 14:3.
{quote}'144,000' -- we have already studied the significance of this company in Chapter 7. (These are the people who will be miraculously preserved during the Judgment.) Just before Final Judgment, the Lord steps in to reassure His own that He is already taking the place of government, and that His own are safe in Him. These are the ones who have refused the mark of the beast, and have chosen the spiritual life (obeying the Father's Commandments which includes the Law and the Gospel) and rejected the worldly life. That is what is signified by "Father's name written in their foreheads." See John 17:6. (Quoted from "The Final Unveiling," pg. 130, © 1984, by Lois Hoover.)

(3) "And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvelous are your works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are your ways, you King of saints." Revelation 15:3, AKJV.
{quote}"'the song of Moses'-- See Ex. 15:1-19. 'I will sing unto the Lord, for he hath triumphed gloriously.'
'song of the Lamb' -- See Rev. 1:5,6. To sing the song of Moses and the Lamb is to sing the song of physical deliverance and spiritual redemption. Moses, the leader of the children of Israel in their deliverance out of bondage of Egypt, was a type of Christ, who delivered us from the bondage of sin, death and the devil. Moses and Christ are also linked together in Heb. 3:5,6." (Quoted from "The Final Unveiling," pg.144, © 1984, by Lois Hoover.)

I think what your daughter is doing is commendable; but as Donald said, there obviously was little if any publicity about it since he didn't even hear about it in Albuquerque.
