Here are some interesting facts:
Television cuts into family time, harms our
children’s ability to read and succeed in school, and contributes
to unhealthy lifestyles and obesity. Here are just a few of the facts:
- On average, children in the US will spend more time in front of
the television (1,023 hours) than in school this year (900 hours).- Forty percent of Americans frequently or always watch television during dinner.
- As US Surgeon General Dr. David Satcher said at the Kick Off of
TV-Turnoff Week 2001, “We are raising the most overweight
generation of youngsters in American history…This week is about
saving lives.”
From Reformation 21 » Two Points on the Arts: "First, even if it is the case that the Bible doesn't tell us which music, for example, is better than other music (and in this sense Carl is right to say that this is a non-biblical judgment), I believe that the stuff of creation itself -- the inherent capabilities of sound, and the human ability to create sound and listen to sound -- does discriminate between the good, the bad, and the ugly. To put it another way, even if special revelation cannot resolve matters of artistic taste (it does give us some principles, though), general revelation does address these issues. So the question of artistic taste retains its spiritual significance; it is not a matter of neutrality.
Second, when it comes to thinking about Christians and the arts -- as well as non-Christians and the arts -- it is always helpful to remember that God has not given all his gifts to Christians. This is one aspect of common grace, and it reminds us to expect to find the good, the true, and the beautiful beyond the boundaries of the church."

Will You Buy a Car That Runs on Air?: "Will You Buy a Car That Runs on Air?
One day, in the near future, we'll have the opportunity to make driving safer for our health and environment with options like the pollution-free Air Car, being readied for market by Spain-based Moteur Developpement Int.
Based on proven technology used on the Space Shuttle, the Air Car runs on Compressed Air Technology, a pollution-free engine that burns compressed air stored in tanks made of carbon fiber. The only emission: Cold air that's used to run the car's onboard air conditioner.
The vehicle is built for city driving, as it gets about 100 miles per tankful. Why oil and gas companies are probably very worried about this latest innovation: The average cost of a fill-up is about $3.

Johan Huibers' replica of Noah's Ark
Mr Huibers started work on the ark last summer
Dutchman Johan Huibers is building a working replica of Noah's Ark as a testament to his Christian faith.
The 47-year-old from Schagen, 45km (30 miles) north of Amsterdam, plans to set sail in September through the interior waters of the Netherlands.
Johan's Ark is a fifth of the size of Noah's and will carry farmyard animals.
Mr Huibers, who plans to open the vessel as a religious monument and zoo, hopes the project will renew interest in Christianity in the Netherlands."
