Happy Anniversary

Five hundred years ago today , a young German monk began the Protestant Reformation, shattering the authority of the Catholic Church by posting 95 thesis and complaints on the door of a German church.   Luther, a biblical scholar, introduced the idea that man could gain heaven by faith alone --- the righteous man.  So began the Protestant Reformation. ]

"I began to understand that the righteousness of God is that by which the righteous lives by a gift of God, namely by faith."

Insurance Fraud Investigation

Insurance fraud alone has an estimated loss of more than $80 billion annually.

40+ States have enacted legislation to create insurance fraud bureaus.

The number of private firms/investigators has increased with hundreds of jobs now advertised. Many tips on individual fraud cases are  made from neighbors.

Criminal Ornithology

It's time to get the wild geese away from the playing fields of our children!
It's time to put the robins' nests back into trees and off our homes.
It's time to enforce reasonable rules on bird feeders, i.e. starlings  not allowed.

I call upon Washington to form the Department of Criminal Ornithological Investigation, COI at once. let's end abuse by birds now!!!

EHD killing large number of deer

EHD is a viral disease of white-tailed deer that is transmitted by the biting midge in the family Culicoi\  These insects breed in static pools of water in late summer It can not be passed from deer to deer or be transferred to humans or other animals. All deer, any age, male or female, can get infected with the disease. It causes a high fever and extreme hemorrhaging in deer. The animal usually dies with 5 -10 days.

Cowboys in Brooklyn

NYPD officers like to say 'they see everything on their job.'  But here's a new one.  A rogue bull calf went on the lam in Brooklyn Tuesday, escaping a slaughter house — breaking free from its captors and causing a rodeo-style ruckus in the heart of stroller mom turf.   Emergency Services Unit cops shot the bull with an air-powered tranquilizer pistol, corralled it into a horse trailer, and gave it to a New Jersey animal sanctuary

Cheaters

Academic cheating and plagiarism have increased dramatically as students struggle to keep up with the expectations and demands of our current education system. Furthermore, the advent of new technologies makes it much easier for students to cheat than ever before

Bolsover Castle in Derbyshire, which is built on an ancient burial ground, has been voted the 'spokiest' by the 1800 people who manage such historical sites in England.  The ghost of a boy is seen holding visitors' hands without them noticing.  Other events include strange footsteps and slamming doors.  People also said they had felt like they were being pushed, had cold sensations and heard muffled voices.

Lovely Caribbean Scene??

Sorry, its the eastern coast of Scotland.  The warm gulf stream brings palm trees and flowers common to the Caribbean.

the slinky

 Richard James was a marine engineer employed at the Cramp Shipyard outside Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, during World War II. One day in 1943, as James was devising a spring that would hold shipboard marine torsion meters steady, one of the springs fell off his desk, springing end over end across the floor. Impressed and intrigued by the simplicity of it, James went home and told his wife he had a great idea for a new toy.

The slinky has found many other applications. During the Vietnam War, U.S. soldiers used Slinkys as mobile radio antennas. Over 250 million Slinkys have been sold.

Black Bear Den

When biologists discovered the many metabolic changes that let black and grizzly bears hibernate up to 7 ½ months without eating, drinking, urinating, or defecating, they realized that body temperature was only a small part of hibernation. ...Black bears are now considered highly efficient hibernators.

Why college soccer isn't good enough

1. too little
2. too late

More Ridiculous English Sports.

Thousands of conker fans descended on the village of Southwick in Northamptonshire (UK) to watch the 230 competitors from 14 countries fight it out with conks.   Conking is a child game played for hundreds of years.  Competitors attached a 20" string to a horse chestnut and swing it at their opponent's in an attempt to smash their conk.  The winner this year in the 'men's' was an 85 year old.   And they say the English aren't boring.

One of my old golfing buddies was a flight engineer on a bomber in WWII.  He said that the Flight Engineer was charged with repairing the plane while it was in flight!  His plane was shot down over the Alps.  He parachuted out and spent the next 3 nights in the high alps without so much as a blanket.  He was then captured and was a POW for the rest of the war.  

Early Bible

A text that may be the oldest copy of a gospel known to exist — a fragment of the Gospel of Mark that was written during the first century, before the year 90 — is set to be published. Some scholars believe Mark’s to be the first gospel.  The fragment  was recovered with other documents used to make a mask of an Egyptian mummy.  Many scholars believe that the gospels of Luke, Matthew, and probably Mark were compiled from a common older source, a collections of Jesus sayings, called the ‘Q source or Q document. ‘ That source, as yet undiscovered, may have been an oral tradition that originated closer to the time of Jesus, or a document written in Greek, or both.

Game Changing Roman Artifacts

Archeologists have found more than 400 handwritten wooden tablets at a construction site that detail Roman life in London as early as 56 AD much earlier than previous theories.  Finds suggest a more developed society than expected, incluing buisness transactions, evidence of schooling and the oldest reference to London as London.

Researchers believe this tablet, is the earliest ever reference to London predating Tacitus' mention of London in his Annals which were produced about 50 years later.  Itt reads "Londinio Mogontio" which translates to "'In London, to Mogontius".

More thoughts that will Pzzz folks

One of the most compelling arguments in favor of easily available birth control and abortion (morally I do not condone) is that the dramatic reduction in violent crime is because of these policies.  

I poke again...

I've observed thru the years the Pharmaceutical Reps that stop by the clinics and doctors and etc.  I can recognize them by the valise they carry and way they look - beautiful, handsome, greek gods and goddesses.  I am observant.  I am horny. I am obsessively preoccupied by beauty. I golfed with a drug rep, a handsome college fullback with muscles and charm.  Just curious I guess, has anyone ever seen a plain looking drug rep?

I'm nearly cured...

of my conspiracy theories obsession.  I'm still one of, maybe the absolutist, a skeptical and (because it tastes good) cynical SOB.  Yet I've been flummoxed by watching the endless threads of ideas about the Las Vegas Tragedy and the millions of fools posting some kind of video that sets the record straight.  I think most want to be able to understand events so that it restores order to the mind.  Such a bizarre event, we think requires some extraordinary explanation; to give us as much Peace of Mind as possible.  I'm sure that those involved in solving and understanding such problems, i.e my brother, are likely for now to be dumbfounded and without an explanation. 
I still believe in some conspiracies (JFK; 9/11; et al) but this event/tragedy makes me ask for a time out.  Overwhelming.
Be vigilant but most of all be humble and kind.

If only I had the cash.

One of the world's rarest and most expensive single malt whiskies has gone on sale. The Private Collection Glenlivet was matured for 70 years and just 40 decanters are going on the market for $45,000 each. The spirit went into its cask in 1943, when World War Two was at its height and whisky was scarce.  A few years ago I bought a bottle of 50 year old whiskey in Scotland as a gift for my doctor (he collects whiskeys) in St. Lucia. I had a $75.00 taste. Horrible.  Oh well.
