12/13/14-Last Sequential Date of the Century!

Today's date DECEMBER 13, 2014 (12/13/14) is interesting not only as a mathematical oddity but more so because it's the last sequential date this century!  The next one won't roll around for 89 years.

Last Sequential Date of The Century—December 13, 2014 (12‐13‐14)
(Aziz S. Inan, Ph.D., Professor, Electrical Engineering, University of Portland, Portland, Oregon)

A professor at the University of Portland Aziz Inan pointed out that this isn't just any old sequential date — the dates themselves are made up of just four sequential digits: 1, 2, 3 and 4. 

It may just only be a play of numbers mixed with Man's curiosity-but of course...there will always be the religious angle....

from awordforthesoul.com

From Bayo Afolaranmi : "What are you doing now? Is it good or bad? You may be thinking of later repentance. However, hear the words of Solomon: “Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil” (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 NIV)."

What does it all mean? Does it mean nothing at all? Who knows.....

"King" LeBron James commits a Royal foul!

When LeBron touched the future queen of England on the shoulder after a basketball game, royal watchers cried foul! 

LeBron James met Prince William and his wife Kate at an NBA game between Cleveland Cavaliers and Brooklyn Nets in New York where the three posed for a photograph and James put his right hand on the Duchess of Cambridge's right shoulder.

According to protocol in Britain, a commoner is not supposed to touch members of the royal family even if it is an innocent gesture.

The official website of the British Monarchy says "there are no obligatory codes of behavior" for meeting a member of the royal family, "but many people wish to observe the traditional forms."

William, who is the grandson of the queen and second in line to the throne after his father, Prince Charles, was on a three-day visit to the United States with Kate.

Five Most Powerful Storms to Make Landfall in Human History!

Here are the top five most powerful storms on record in human history to make landfall across the globe: 

Super Typhoon Haiyan (known locally as Yolanda)- Samar, Philippines, 2013

Animation of Super typhoon Haiyan through 07, Nov. 2013 Friday (NOAA); See Philippine map at the foreground (left)

It left a trail of death at least 2,500-wide in its wake. Typhoon Haiyan's winds blew at sustained speeds of 195 miles per hour, and blasted out some gusts that reached 235 mph—it was like an island-sized tornado that whipped up 20 feet of flooding, too. An entire city was wiped off the map, along with many smaller villages and communities. It now ranks as the deadliest natural disaster in the history of a nation routinely besieged by earthquakes, hurricanes, and eruptions.

Hurricane Camille - Mississippi, 1969

Hurricane Camille in the Gulf of Mexico

A Category 5 hurricane, the storm formed on Aug. 19, 1969 and claimed the lives of 259 people. Winds, which reached speeds of 190 mph, pummeled Mississippi as well as nearby states. The storm surge climbed to 24 feet and the cost of damage was an estimated $1.41 billion.

Labor Day Hurricane - Florida Keys, 1935

Pages from the Past: TheTimes-Tribune.com

More than 400 people died after the Labor Day Hurricane made landfall in the Upper Keys of Florida on Sept. 2, 1935. With winds that roared at 200 mph and a storm surge that reached 17 feet, the storm became one of three in the U.S. to be listed as Category 5 storms -- the other two being Hurricane Camille and Hurricane Andrew.

Typhoon Megi (known locally as Juan)- Luzon, Philippines, 2010

The super typhoon made landfall on Oct. 18 and hit the Philippines with winds of 145 mph. Dozens of people died and the cost of the damage was calculated at more than $700 million.

Typhoon Zeb (known locally as Iliang)- Luzon, Philippines, 1998

Fifteen years before Typhoon Haiyan and 12 years before Typhoon Megi, Typhoon Zeb boomed through the island of Luzon in the Philippines on Oct. 10 with 125 mph winds, claiming the lives of almost 100 people. The cost of the damage caused by the Category 5 storm was estimated at more than $830 million.

McDonald’s-Only Diet: Losing 40 Lbs in 3 months!

Here's an interesting article from the inquisitr.com of a High school teacher John Cisna who lost 37 lbs. over the course of 3 months by eating a diet consisting only of McDonald’s! This is of course reminiscent of the filmmaker Morgan Spurlock  of his infamous Super Size Me documentary. Read before you make the McDonald’s-Only Diet leap though. This is NOT the "fast-food enabler" documentary you would expect from the title...

Prior to undergoing the McDonald’s diet regimen, Cisna was 280 lbs. with a six-foot frame, putting his body mass index (BMI) in the “obese” category at 38. This story though is not the bad influnce type especially coming from a teacher....The catch in Cisna's case is that he followed a 2,000-calorie McDonald’s diet and exercising daily, part of a plan he devised with his students at Colo-Nesco High School, in Colo, Iowa . 

“I can eat any food at McDonald’s I want as long as I’m smart for the rest of the day with what I balance it out with.“The point behind this documentary is, ‘Hey, it’s choice. We all have choices. It’s our choices that make us fat not McDonald’s,’” ” Cisna said. Check out the news video below from You Tube.

Death Due to Moviehouse Texting: Cop guns down man for texting- claims Popcorn assault "self- defense"!

Movie texters beware.....

The shooting occurred inside The Grove 16 theater in Wesley Chapel at around 1:30 p.m. 

A 71-year-old retired Tampa police captain Curtis Reeves Jr., is in custody after allegedly shooting and killing 43-year-old Chad Oulsen and injuring his wife over a texting dispute during a Mark Wahlberg war movie. He was arraigned on a second-degree murder charge Tuesday in a Florida court.The retired cop's  lawyer said in court that Reeves "had every right to defend himself" after the man hurled a bag of popcorn at him.

Curtis Reeves, 71, appeared for a bond hearing Tuesday in a Florida court. A judge ordered him held without bail.

According to the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office, Reeves shot Chad Oulson with a .380-calber handgun after a verbal and physical confrontation. Chad was pronounced dead at a hospital while his wife, Nichole, was treated for a gunshot wound to her hand.

Chad Oulson, seen here with his wife, was fatally shot in the chest after he allegedly
refused to stop sending text messages in the theater. His wife was shot in the hand.

Reeves and his wife were sitting behind the Oulsons as the preview trailers were rolling just before the showing of “Lone Survivor,” the Mark Wahlberg movie about a failed 2007 Navy Seal raid in Afghanistan. Reeves asked Chad several times to stop, to no avail. He then left the theater to complain to the theater's management before returning to his seat. The two got into a verbal altercation upon his return which shifted to a physical confrontation. It was not clear if the physical confrontation involved the Popcorn "assault" mentioned by the lawyer.

Then the suspect, Reeves, pulled out a gun. Only one shot was fired. Nichole was wounded in the hand when she grabbed her husband as Reeves pulled the trigger.

Reeves retired as a captain from the Tampa Police Department in 1993. He helped set up the department's first SWAT team.
