What happens to male chickens?

Jon — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 00:37:06 +0000

I saw this video yesterday about what happens to male chickens (chicks) in the poultry industry as was thoroughly surprised to say the least. I had *assumed* (a very bad word and set of ideas) that, like cows and other animals, they were fattened-up for slaughter like their female counterparts. It still isn’t pretty, but [...]

Interesting Video: Kirk Cameron vs the evil Athiest industry

Jon — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 05:02:11 +0000

I don’t honestly care what people believe as long as it does no harm towards others, they don’t try to brainwash others into believing what they do and mutual respect is observed but I found this video rather interesting… sure, there are many out there like this but so far, this is the clearest. Although believe [...]

Friend gets a heart attack… his advice to you!

Jon — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 06:19:46 +0000

A designer whom I worked with on the site WoodMarvels.com (he designed the great looking planes on my site), Jerry, just had a heart attack and here is what he wrote so that this doesn’t happen to you. In the past I was told “Your cholesterol level should be below 200” and I was running about [...]

J.K. Rowling: A Year in her Life Review

Jon — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 05:49:30 +0000

As a fellow author who is working on his third book (this time, science fiction), I can now relate far better to the success that J.K. Rowling has had with her books. When luck, creativity and a strong ambition come into perfect sync, you get the explosive success that she has enjoyed with her Harry [...]

Men who walked the Moon

Jon — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 01:42:31 +0000

There are two aspects of ultimate achievement I find fascinating, the first, is the unlikely climb, coincidences and shier luck that lead to it and then, “what happened after wards?” There are firsts for everything, many of which have been forgotten by time, but let’s explore what happened to twelve individuals who landed on the [...]

Our brains can rewire themselves in seconds!

Jon — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 14:11:47 +0000

When I grew-up, we were taught a few things about the brain, some of which have since been proven wrong. We will only be born with a certain number of neurons which are not replaced as they die. FALSE! Old people can’t learn new things (lead to the expression that you can’t teach an old dog new [...]

Five things your dentist isn’t telling you!

Jon — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 14:18:58 +0000

It’s a proven fact that a dirty mouth affects not just your love life but your overall health as well. ABC News Interviews Dr. Nancy Rosen ABC News had an interesting video with a dentist’s top 5 industry secrets based on a Readers Digest article that was rather tame in my opinion, they were: You cannot mask smoker’s [...]

2847AD is finally done!

Jon — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 13:32:07 +0000

I am happy to report that I have completed the first draft of 2847AD. I am now entering the world of heavy editing and cleaning-up the story lines and plots while leaving a huge gaping window that could easily lead to a sequel down the line should the book become successful. I started work on [...]

Getting through the home stretch

Jon — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 13:34:40 +0000

WoodMarvels.com Marketing Advice I haven’t been updating this blog as much as I would have liked – it isn’t from a lack of material but time. LegendaryLife.com is [...]

The Persistence Hunt

Jon — Sat, 09 May 2009 14:39:49 +0000

Long ago, before we had the luxury of convenient and grocery stores, modern agriculture and “civilization”, we use to have to hunt and gather each and everyday for our days food. Each day was filled with trying to live one more using nothing but our wit, strength and endurance. The reason our bodies are so [...]

Mannatech legal threats, I’m not alone!

Jon — Wed, 06 May 2009 02:43:48 +0000

I decided to do a little research online regarding my (so far), two cease and desist orders originating from Mannatech’s legal department and guess what, they sent the same identical letter to others as well! Each time, to people who disprove or question the validity for their sales people’s claims that their products cure diseases [...]

Mannatech’s Cease and Desist… again!

Jon — Wed, 06 May 2009 01:15:21 +0000

Apparently Mannatech’s lawyers still do not know how to read English, think that their web compliance policy applies internet-wide and freedom of speech is as worthless as their own products . I wrote repeatedly that Mannatech’s products have never been proven to work but Mannatech’s own sales people write that it cures everything known to [...]

How to prepare for the flu epidemic

Jon — Tue, 05 May 2009 12:50:22 +0000

I just watched this and I can’t help but think of zombie movies. If a virulent form of the H1N1 flu strikes, buy lots of ammo and a shovel as the government will stick its head in the sand (protecting itself of course) and everybody else around you will freak-out and die in short order. [...]

2847AD: Writing Science Fiction is Hard!

Jon — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 01:50:25 +0000

I have discovered something while writing my next book, 2847AD… writing science fiction is really hard! Imagining the uninvented Creating a whole future civilization across multiple colonies is a challenge in itself, trying to imagine technology that doesn’t exist, hasn’t been seen or experienced first-hand is quite a task. Describing how things work, describing how one machine [...]
