I would recommend that anyone interested in the recent Somali Piracy issue view the YouTube video Somali Piracy: The Real Story. It just might give you a different perspective.

Spelling does not appear — nor in my estimation has it ever appeared — to be the strong suit of American-English. Ours is a spoken miracle of a language that does not get translated accurately to paper — or file, sign, letter, poster, whatever — by the majority of its adherents. Makes you wonder what the word adherent really means, doesn’t it?

We look at information on a day-to-day basis, and sometimes, only fleetingly, consider its usefulness. In terms of this list of companies that may close in 2009, we may do ourselves a service by paying attention. Each of these companies have inventory of some kind — which, I guess, in the case of Krispy Kreme donuts is exactly the problem — and will need to liquidate these assets. Might do a person well to keep an eye on the liquidators of various items and commodities. The silver linings on clouds come in many ways, both predictable and unpredictable.

To all of you that have listened to the AllnAll with Paul since its inception as a semi-regular podcast, your wait for the next episode is almost over. This one has been a long time coming, in thta AllnAlls never get recorded before their time. This episode will feature highlights of a couple of failed attempts to get episode 12 out — each were beset with both technical and calnder-related difficulties. The Holiday season still takes its toll on me — Grandkids and the like being the thrust of my interest in it, at this point.  So, keep your eyes peeled to the iTunes feed over the next week. You never know when Episode 12 will show — I hope only that it is worth it when it does.

Vampire moths evolving from innocent fruit-eating species. How long before evolution itself decides to make life a little worse for us? Truth is, this is just another demonstration that anything you can imagine, can be real.

A periodic podcast that deals with anything, everything or maybe nothing at all. Paul will discuss — usually with Alva, the other seminal host of thisBrownsfan’s Podcast — many informative, humorous, or just-plain-odd items and attempt to tie that into the overall effort of living and making sense of it all. Bottom line: if it’s happening or being talked about in the world, it’s part of the AllnAll.

A one-year old baby boy, subpoenaed for an outstanding debt. It just goes to show you, if they think you owe them some money, they will come and keep coming until you give in or prove them wrong. A question not related to the collections end of this story does occur: What do you take a newborn to a chiropractor for? And a statement: I’ll bet the insurance company wouldn’t pay it.

Microsoft has spent considerable time and money on the PR alone for his OS, to no avail. Sure, Vista has a more protective security model and an updated look — neither of which seem to be enough for people to voluntarily adopt the OS — but is that really what we’re looking for in a desktop OS. I doubt it.

Here’s the latest in a long line of unfortunate developments in the story that is Microsoft Windows Vista

In the wake of the Pennsylvania Primary, both Democrat candidates are off “spinning” the results — as we expect them to. A closer look at the bottom-line results of Hillary’s “decisive win” shows that it ain’t so darned decisive after all. She picked up — get this — one more delegate than did Mr. Obama. Now, I certainly expect that the Clinton campaign will continue to try to paint this as some sort of come-from-behind win. Actually, she was originally favored to win the thing by near 20 percent, which — if you factor that expectation against result — sounds like a 10 percent shortfall to me.

Some stories just don’t go away, but get curiouser and curiouser. Now they’ve taken the substance, called graphene, and made a transistor one atom thick by ten atoms wide. That’s pretty damned small and may lead the way to even more breakthroughs in this field. Can the marvels of science keep coming to fruition in the vacuum of knowledge without spirit. Firstly, I think not. Secondly, I believe that it is in the sub-atomic and quantum realities that we will start to rediscover the true harmony of science and spirit.
