This is the cave where Bedouin shepherds found the Dead Sea Scrolls, while searching for a missing goat. The otherwise excellent interpretative video at the nearby visitor centre sadly neglected to tell you the fate of that goat.
April 22, 2010 Ð Scroll of Honor Dedication. Nearly 500 Clemson University graduates who died in service to their country were remembered Thursday during dedication ceremonies for the Scroll of Honor. Clemson President James Barker and selected dignitaries unveiled two purple-shrouded tiger statues as a crowd of up 1,000 applauded and stood at attention. To date 470 names are etched into the stone scroll. There are 27 names from WWI; one from the Nicaraguan campaign; 378 from WWII; 17 more from Korea; one, that of a pilot, from the Cuban missile crisis; 25 from the Vietnam War: and 19 from the Cold War era and the wars on terror. Two additional names were added just as the ceremony took place. The Clemson Corps, organized in 1999, is responsible for maintaining the Scroll of Honor records. The corps is associated with the Clemson Alumni Association and helps raise funds for the preservation of ClemsonÕs military history and the creation of scholarships for ROTC cadets..
Yes, it’s true. The Dead Sea Scrolls have suddenly become alive! From the marriage of technology and ancient history, what has been available for only a chosen few to see is now on display for the entire world.
This year is the 65th anniversary of the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in a cave in the Judean Desert, the same desert where the anointed King David hid in caves from King Saul; the same desert where Jesus fasted for 40 days before subjecting himself to the outlandish temptations of Satan; the same desert that is part of the Israeli West Bank territory; the same desert where the Bedouin have lived under the heat of the sun and of the Palestinian passion to possess the land for themselves.
Once miraculously preserved for centuries in a cave, the scrolls have been preserved through recent years by the Israel Antiquities Authority. Early attempts to preserve the thin, brittle scrolls actually resulted in additional damage. Today the IAA keeps the scrolls in a unique storage facility dedicated solely to their preservation, using strict protocols established by the input of conservation and preservation experts. Conservators record every detail of each manuscript’s condition, treatment, and maintenance, no matter how miniscule.
In terms of scroll content, the project is not complete, but in terms of website content, there is more than enough to keep lovers of God’s Word busy for a very long time. Viewers may search and browse by content, by language or by discovery site.
What a blessing to Christians and Jews the world over. We can view and read portions of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Ruth, Judges, Job, Psalms, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel. God’s Word is forever settled in Heaven. (Psalm 119:89) It is a blessing to see how the Bible has been preserved in print and available through the ages. It is equally a blessing to see how the Dead Sea Scrolls have been, and are being, preserved through the ages, and how they are now available to us. What a great and mighty God we serve.
Let us pray with thanksgiving for yet another demonstration of the awesome and powerful love of God in preserving and publishing these scrolls for us to see. Let’s pray with thanksgiving for the Jewish people and the nation of Israel. Let’s pray God’s blessing upon Israel and pray for the peace of Jerusalem. (Psalm 122:6)

My favorite Signing Scroll Commission of 2009! I just love flowers, and loved that this bride wanted them so colorful and front and center.
Ink used for the lettering is Dr. Ph. Martin's "Burnt Orange", radiant concentrated watercolors.
Wizard 14" scroll saw bought many years ago from Western Auto, mounted on a board with a 1/4 HP Emerson Electric motor. I will clean it up and use it in my shop.
When the prayer scrolls become old, instead of throwing them away, they stuff it into the walls of the monastery. That way they weather away on their own.

Scrolling through some images I shot in the last few years I came across a bunch that I think might be worth sharing. I don't like fireworks very much, in fact they bore me and I don't understand what all the fuss is about, maybe because I am partially colourblind. However, during a holiday in Vanuatu I witnessed something that really stuck in my mind. Mt. Yasur on the island of Tanna is a very active volcano and what is even better you can stand right at the edge of the crater and take pictures.....while the ground shakes, hot rocks fly through the air, and there is a continuous rumble and thunder. Anyone who has the chance to visit Tanna, this volcano comes highly recommended

From the Wyewood Arts and Sciences championship. To clarify, this isn't BY me... it was given TO me.
Thank you to Catroine di Risteaird, Kathy McLaughlin, and Tvorimir Danilov for the work of creating this lovely scroll!

Along the River during Qingming Festival
Where the great bridge, called the Rainbow Bridge (虹橋 Hong Qiao), crosses the river is the center and main focus of the scroll. A great commotion animates the people on the bridge. A boat approaches at an awkward angle with its mast not completely lowered, threatening to crash into the bridge. The crowds on the bridge and along the riverside are shouting and gesturing towards the boat. Someone near the apex of the bridge lowers a rope to the outstretched arms of the crew below.
Scroll Saw Work, the fur was stained with Dark Walnut and the rack with natural stain, mounted on a smoke tinted mirror!

I really miss my old cello. I will probably have to wait another 10 years to have a nice acoustic cello. It would have cost more to repair than it was worth, so when I disassembled it, I kept certain pieces for sentimental reasons.
This side scrolling bar mysteriously appeared on my Flickr photostream late this afternoon. Is it a glitch or is it a new "improvement?" Well, I certainly hope it isn't here to stay. I use a desktop computer and it's been added as if I were using a cellphone and a tall and narrow-width screen. I have plenty enough width on my screen so that it doesn't need the side scrolling bar to get all the information to fit in my screen. Please don't take the functionality away from us desktop users all for the sake of some other upstart platform.
