Holiday Happings

Its's great to get to Memorial day as this means nice parades to go to and lots of friends want to see you again. I think I am going to spend this day just remembering my family,ex wife Michelle and my 2 dogs that died Lester,Charlie and 1 dog Brownie who was stolen from me in Nov. 2007 still living when stolen . I hope brownie that he's alive still and I will see him someday sooner and get him back from the people who stole him. I remember my african grey bird named bimini,momma rabbit my new zealand and the other a mini rex rabbit named chocolate as well as my lifetime freinds who have made my world a nicer place to live in. I thank all of them for what they have done and for supporting me when no one wanted to do that. I must allways thank you to God and his family for all the great things that he has given me and done for me so that with this life has made it better for me. I am going to go to the beach today and hopefully see a parade this day and fireworks too.. I love Memorial Day for some things but the loss of people and animals this day is a day to remember them and to be sad at thier being gone.. I miss you all and will not forget all of you that I have known and cared for over my life time. This is what Memorial Day means to me plus a celebration of this country and what it used to stand for being free but sadly and unfortunately no longer do we as a people and a nation have freedom.

Monday today is Memorial Day May 25th 2009

Today is Memorial Day and so I thought I would write this blog today in memory of the members of my family who are dead. They served this country with great service both public and private in their life and did many things to emprove the world. I think of my father who was the designer and brains of most of the Navy ship building in this country and his designs and engineering genius could not be matched by anyone living. He silently created in his little office at General Dynamics and other places he worked over his lifetime designs for ships,aircraft and for the space program at NASA a veriety of components that were far advanced in the future and gave this country a unique advantage. My father was a master inventor and engineering genius that is in secret projects his designs ships,planes,all types of other components he created. I know that all that stuff is still being used to advance the cause of space exploration and even the modern passenger jet made by Boeing has most if not all his design and technology in it. The Navy and all the other service branches uses his inventions and designs to better the advantage of this country. I honor a simple man today who served in the korean war aboard ship and in too many other places on this planet that is earth and got a few medals for military service. It really was and is his inventions and designs that he got no public credit for, but that made the most difference for this country and the whole world. My father sought to make a difference by advancing the technology and knowledge of all humanity but sadly he recieved no public Presidential Freedom medal or any public recognition for the all the important inventions he created and developed over his life time. Even today a real hero is easily forgotten and dismissed and that is what has happened to my father since he died in 2007 by all the people and countries of the world and my Dad was a real hero who does deserve a place in national honor and buriel in Arlington cemetary for the great things he did and for all he spoke out in favor of this country. He championed the counsitution and spoke in favor of the right to free speech and the right to bear arms and all other things related to the independance of America. I remember him speaking in front of many state and national congress hearings on first and second etc. rights over his lifetime and he was widely listened to and many of ideas were adopted into law. Why does a man who gave so much to this country and to all of mankind be left to be forgotten?? I say it is time to honor him the way he does deserves and put him in Arlington National Cemetary and give him the public military funeral he really wanted and give him many nationl honors by the current President Oboma and all the past living Presidents should get together and do this for him.. I remember my Granny who worked in a airplane factory in up state New York making her contribution to the war effort during World War 2 and rivetted planes to together so the could support this counties freedom. I remember both of my uncle by marriage George who was the top gun pilot who started along with three other pilots in the NAVY who started the TOP GUN FLIGHT SCHOOL in Merimar California and was the first instructor at the school to teach pilots to live on the edge and be the best ones in the whole world He was the first top gun ace pilot during korea and vietman war. This made him special as it is but he just made more sucesses in private collaboration with the Navy ove his life. He was also a inventor and designer of many plane and submarine advancements in his Navy and affliliations with the navy and other branches of service. So I honor his success and accomplishments on this day as well as my great uncle chester who served in ever jungle in the pacific area. He remains the first one to be military to ever have reached the top of the island as a marine in Iwo Gima which is called Mount Saribacchi and he was one of seven men standing there when the famed picture was taken showing him and his marine buddies holding the flag smoking a cigerette. So today I honor a man who got the congressional medal of honor and many other medals in marines in the south pacific fighting the japanese and others during World War 2. These are some of my family and what they did to advance freedom,tecnology, and human knowledge over all their lifetimes so it is time honor their accomplishments and remember them on this Memorial Day.. I wish they were all still living so they could coninue their contributions to mankind and freedom.

Financial Meltdown Coming

With the debate raging in congress and wall street getting richer you would have to wonder who out here is really benifiting from all that new wealth. I say nobody in main steam america is not getting any value for what money is supposed to spent on us by goverment. We seem to live in a time were spending on a personal level is down and credit markets have failed and most businesses are going broke. The goverment fat cats who are supposed to guard us against financial ruin are instead having a field day throwing lavish parties and living it up while the rest of us become hungery and permently homeless. Well, that is not the only ones who are benefiting but wall street is too with all the new programs and loup poles enacted every year that only help the rich and not the poor. I would think that the only way to stop our country from total bankruptcy is to stop spending and borrowing money we don't have. This is the first road to recovery in our economy and emproving the jobs problem too. Second we should also close most of the programs that we don't need and scale back the rest of them so that we can save money and begin to reinvest in our country. Third we need to trim our entire goverment work force in this country and devote more to better paying jobs for all who need it,help the homeless and struggling home owners who have been clobbered really bad by this economic meltdown. This would be a good partial solution to our reinvestment in our own future and help all generations who just are finding out that they too are about to go broke. This is my ideas for today on the American economy for which we need to fix soon or we all won't a penny to our name and have any country to call our home for the next generation let alone our current living generation presently.

See even in Old times we humaniod still loved women.

A carved ivory female figurine is presented in Tuebingen, southern Germany, Wednesday, May 13, 2009. …
Wed May 13, 3:42 pm ET
BERLIN – A 35,000-year-old ivory carving of a busty woman found in a German cave was unveiled Wednesday by archaeologists who believe it is the oldest known sculpture of the human form. The carving found in six fragments in Germany's Hohle Fels cave depicts a woman with a swollen belly, wide-set thighs and large, protruding breasts.
"It's very sexually charged," said University of Tuebingen archaeologist Nicholas Conard, whose team discovered the figure in September.
Carbon dating suggests it was carved at least 35,000 years ago, according to the researchers' findings, which are being published Thursday in the scientific journal Nature.
"It's the oldest known piece of figurative sculpture in the world," said Jill Cook, a curator of Paleolithic and Mesolithic material at the British Museum in London.
Stones in Israel and Africa almost twice as old are believed to have been collected by ancient humans because they resembled people, but they were not carved independently.
The Hohle Fels cave discovery suggests the humans, who are believed to have come to Europe around 40,000 years ago, had the intelligence to create symbols and think abstractly in a way that matches the modern human, Conard said.
"It's 100 percent certain that, by the time we get to 40,000 years ago in Swabia, we're dealing with people just like you and me," Conard told The Associated Press, referring to the southern German region where the sculpture was recovered along with other prehistoric artifacts.
Conard believes the 2.4-inch-tall (6-centimeter) figure may have been hung on the end of a string. The left arm is missing, but Conard said he hopes to find it by sifting through material from the cave.
The Hohle Fels sculpture is curvaceous and has neither feet nor a head, like some of the roughly 150 so-called Venus figurines found in a range from the Pyrenees mountains to southern Russia and dating back about 25,000-29,000 years.
But Cook warned against trying to draw any connections between the Venuses and the Hohle Fels figure, saying that would be like comparing Picasso to a classical sculptor — too much time had passed.
"I wonder whether at this point we're looking at figures which are unique within themselves and unique within the cultures that they're arising in," she said.
Archaeologist Paul Mellars, of the University of Cambridge, suggested a clearer continuum.
"We now have evidence of that sort of artistic tradition of Venus figurines going back 6,000 years earlier than anybody ever guessed," he said.
Neanderthals also lived in Europe around the time the sculpture was carved, and frequented the Hohle Fels cave. But Mellars said layered deposits left by both species over thousands of years prove the sculpture was crafted by humans.
"Nothing within a million miles of this has ever been found in a Neanderthal layer," Mellars said.
The archaeologists agreed the sculpture's age and features invite speculation about its purpose and the preoccupations of the culture that produced it.
Cook suggested it could be symbol of fertility, perhaps even portrayed in the act of giving birth.
Mellars suggested a more basic motivation for the carving: "These people were obsessed with sex."
Conard said the differing opinions reinforced the connection between the ancient artist and modern viewer.
"How we interpret it tells us just as much about ourselves as about people 40,000 years ago," he said

Another Day spent in Paradise

Well, it is wednesday may 13th and i just decided to start this new blog online. It sure has been a while since i have beeen writing a column for anything except myself. I decided it is time to start doing something new and create some content that is my comments on life. Humm. I wonder what my freinds would say if they thought i actually have something interesting to say. Yes, I sure do and I do read alot of books that others don't have any interest in reading. Gee, it sure is getting warmer outside and I love it warmer is better allways. Seems to me that golf and fishing season is here again in New England and that is great. Yoo. Come on warm weather and never leave as I wish it would be for me. I am also continueing to write my count them five books and I got a new movie that i got to produce soon and I hope to have that script and casting done by July. I hope I can get my new music tracks done by that time too but I keep putting some things of .. I should get to work on it but I keep doing other things instead.. Boo Hooo.. Well, someday I will learn to manage my time better and complete my projects in days or months instead of putting things off to later. I sure wish I would be able to go to another nicer part of the country to live as this place is too cold for my liking ,but I guess this is where i am presently unfortunately here. Oh,well I guess things turned out unfortunately different than I hoped for as it sure seems that happens too much to me lately in the last few years.
