Every successful private investigator has a tool box. On TV you’ll see a PI using a gun, lock picking tools and disguises. In real life it’s a bit less glamorous but also a whole lot more legal.
In real life an investigator will handle a telephone handset a million times more than he will ever handle a firearm. So in this series of articles we will examine the tools every PI must have in order to conduct successful telephone investigations. Reverse phone number databases, telephone trap lines and blind lines or caller ID spoof cards are all tools every investigator should have.
Reverse Phone Number Databases:
Before you can use the phone you need a phone number. Or you may already have a number but need to know the customer name and address of that number. This is where the telephone number data base comes into effect.
Every investigator should have access to databases that will return a customer name and address (CNA) from a non published or unlisted phone number. These database services will also have information on telephone numbers. They may be able to provide you with an unlisted phone number from a just a name or just an address. They also may be able to supply you with a cellular or wireless number from just a name or address.

I heard about a secret closed door restaurant in Buenos Aires from a few of my ‘in the know peeps’. I had never heard of this concept – but, I knew I wanted in. Having a Jet Set Life to me is all about different, new and exciting things to do. Kim and I had our Buenos Aires contact, Fiorella, get us into Casa Felix on a Saturday night (which was a little like juggling flames). We really had no clue what to expect. All we knew was that the ‘restaurant’ was the house of professional Chef Diego Felix.
We jumped into a cab and headed to the comfy residential neighborhood of Chacarita (which is near Palermo). We pulled up to a beautiful building from the 1920′s, rang the bell and chef Diego Felix warmly greeted us. From the moment you step foot in his house you can feel the intense and creative vibe. Diego was kind enough to grant us special access to interview him about an hour before his guests arrived (see video below).
Then it was show time. 12 guests, who don’t know each other, ring the door bell and enter the world of Diego Felix. He greets them one by one and welcomes them back to his kitchen for an amazing cocktail (wish I could tell you what it was – all I know was that it was made of herbs from his garden and bordered on a lemoncello kind of taste – it was a triumph!).

I’m not sure if the people in Cape Coral, Florida are aware of this, but one of Cape Coral’s citizens has a very, very dark mind. I’m not sure of where he lives in Cape Coral, but if people of Cape Coral want to take a deep look into his mind they need to turn on Showtime and find out.
Whenever discussing my favorite television shows, I cannot go without mentioning the Showtime series Dexter. It involves one of the most vile, brilliant concepts on television today.
Dexter is about a serial killer, who only murders the bad guys. It is a topic often brought up in vigilante stories, but usually the stories involve heroes in comic books and movies. Dexter works for the police department as a blood splatter expert and sees the flaws in the judicial system.

In the early part of December, the Vatican issued a pronouncement, again condemning the use of embryonic stem cells for medical research and medical treatment.
While this proclamation will hinder the development of some therapies in medicine, it should not be a major stumbling block in the management of osteoarthritis.
The reason?
Current approaches using stem cells for osteoarthritis are able to make use of autologous stem cells. These are stem cells obtained from the iliac crest (hip) of the patient using a special biopsy needle.

If you cannot get your vehicle under cover in a garage then your options are fairly limited when it comes to protecting the look of your vehicle. Paintwork is especially vulnerable to the elements and needs protection from rain, sun, animals and people so it makes sense to look at a car protection cover to provide a robust layer of all round protection for your pride and joy.
Modern car protection covers are made from durable and flexible materials which perform a variety of protective functions. They will be waterproof and so keep your bodywork from coming into contact with water which will cause discoloration of your paint job and if left unchecked, rust which will ravage the look of your car very quickly and cost dearly to put right. They will also be able to block out the harmful effects of the sun’s ultraviolet or UV radiation; the same rays which cause sunburn in people also cause damage to your paint job and the sun is the major cause of a faded paint job which always looks unsightly and there is nothing you can do to remedy it once it has happened.
Prevention is definitely better than cure in this instance!

There is a rather funny commercial that shows two moving men attempting to hoist a piano through a high rise window. They slip up and the poor baby grand falls and breaks into hundred of pieces. The workmen deliver these pieces to the comically startled owner and ask her where to put the destroyed instrument.
While the commercial was played for humor, the reality is, a piano is an expensive investment that would be painful to lose. Whether you are a teacher or a lover of music, damage to you piano can is a rather unacceptable thought.
This is why special considerations will have the made for something as large and delicate as a piano when relocating, especially if you plan to move it yourself.

Down in Tasmania, beady little eyes watch you, eyes of a devil, the Tasmanian devil that is. Tasmania is the only known habitat for this little creature. Tasmania is an island separated from Australia by the Bass Strait (a channel running 80 –150 miles long). It’s a mountain island similar to Australia; its climate changes moderately. This is probably why the creatures have inhabited it for well over hundreds of years. This little guy is no bigger than the family pet, but not always as sweet and a tad bit more muscular. They possess a strong jaw and are black in color with some white spotting towards the backside. They have an odor that can rival a skunk when they feel pressured.
For a small guy, the little devil picks on large prey such as Lizards and Kangaroos. Those inhabitants of Tasmania like to hide up in the hills and are generally loners, but sometimes dine with others. They are excellent night hunters and they are known to hold fat in their tail and one can tell it by the thickness of their tail, if ill. Hunters and farmers protecting their farm animals are the main cause of their death of late, not to mention a fast spreading cancer that has aided in their demise. Their average life expectancy is about six years. Those that remain in Tasmania are part of what is considered to be the only meat-eating marsupials around today.
The mating season in Tasmania is generally in the spring. The female is most fertile when reaching about two years of age. The male devils battle for the right to be with the female, who usually chooses the victor. If the male is not careful the female will wonder off after mating, so one should keep his eye out on his prize.

Debt advice played an important part in the Chancellor’s Pre-Budget report, revealing just how important the Government thinks it is for people with debt problems to seek debt advice earlier, rather than later.
On direct.gov.uk, the section ‘Debt advice services’ is one of only three sections on the ‘helping people in financial difficulty’ page. The section states that: ‘The government is committed to ensuring that any family facing debts which they can’t manage can access free impartial debt advice to help them get back on track.’
It also says that ‘The Pre-Budget Report announced additional government funding of £5.85 million for an extension of telephone advice services, and £10 million to extend face-to-face advice services, to ensure everyone has access to free debt advice when they need it’.
Whatever the economic climate, debts can always be a problem if the borrower can’t keep up with the repayments. In other words, debt advice always has an important role to play, helping people learn to budget, negotiate with their lenders, plan ahead – and one day get out of debt altogether.
