The Search for Criminals - T.V. Style
August 29, 2008 on 7:21 pm | By admin | In ReferenceI’m addicted to crime-solving shows on T.V., and especially the CSI series.
The incredibly cool-looking CSI’s quickly find many valuable clues at every crime scene (”Look - a matchbook cover - he must be driving a black, 1988 TransAm!”).
After typing a couple of search criteria into an apparently all-purpose, multi-million dollar computer, they find their suspect and solve the crime in 20 minutes.
In real life police rarely have equipment waiting, at their disposal.
If they want to search for arrest records, they’re likely to search a database, and, if they need a DNA sample, it may go out to a lab. They can work weeks, months, or years to solve the crime.
I know this and still watch the shows, if nothing else, for the CSI’s cool clothes and sunglasses.
Turkey Vultures are Condor Relatives
August 23, 2008 on 1:18 pm | By admin | In ReferenceYou have seen turkey vultures soaring overhead all across America. They often soar on thermal currents and rise high above the mountains. These bald birds are close relatives to the California Condor which is an endangered species. Both are bird species that feed on dead or decaying material, often roadkill. That is why the bald heads are so important. If YOU were going to stick your head inside a dead animal to grab a meal, I imagine you would wish you had no hair or feathers where parasites could latch onto you. That is one way they protect themselves from parasites.
Stop telephone harassment
August 15, 2008 on 4:22 am | By admin | In ReferenceThere are several way to attempt to stop telephone harassment. The first way is to simply change your phone number and make sure it is unlisted and unpublished. This makes it harder for a harasser to find you. If this doesn’t work you can try to find out who is harassing you with the aid of the phone company and/or the police. Caller ID can, in some cases, show where the call is coming from. Telephone harassment is illegal and if the caller can be identified they can be fined or arrested. You don’t have to put up with being harassed, even by bill collectors.
So. Cal Mom says.. find me a California probate attorney fast
August 13, 2008 on 7:10 am | By admin | In ReferenceI am a mother of 5 and have 3 children under the age of 4. When my mom died last October she named me in her will as the estate executor. At first I felt honored but then when I figured out the work involved, I felt overwhelmed. I guess my mom thought mothers could do anything… but honestly, I can’t. What I did do is find a California probate attorney. This was a godsend. Once an executor finds a California probate attorney they call delegate tasks to the attorney (except baby sitting). The way I came to find a California probate attorney was doing an Internet search on the keyword phrase "find a California probate attorney. It was as easy as that.
The roots of a hebrew word
August 9, 2008 on 7:12 pm | By admin | In ReferenceThe Hebrew Meaning of Word is determined in a way similar to most other Semitic languages.
