My wife dragged me to the Garden of Cosmic Speculation. It basically looks like a big miniature golf course. But these caught my eye.
I recently learned of speculation that it was really a pomegranate rather than an apple in the garden of eden. How the heck did that change over the years? (I mean, I know how that happens, but still.)

"Hannah Courtoy (1784 - 26 January 1849), born Hannah Peters, was a London society woman who inherited a fortune from the merchant John Courtoy in 1815. Her distinctive Egyptian-style mausoleum in London's Brompton Cemetery has been the subject of considerable curiosity and speculation ever since a report by Reuters in 1998 repeated claims that it contained a working time machine.
"Hannah Courtoy was born Hannah Peters in 1784. She never married but had three daughters, Mary Ann (1801), Elizabeth (1804-1876), and Susannah (1807-1895). In 1830, Susannah married Septimus Holmes Godson, a barrister of Gray's Inn.
"In 1815, Courtoy inherited a fortune from the elderly merchant John Courtoy (born Nicholas Jacquinet in France, 1709) through a Will that was disputed in court.
"Courtoy's distinctive Egyptian-style mausoleum of 1854[9] in Brompton Cemetery, where her unmarried daughters Elizabeth and Mary Ann are also interred, has been the subject of considerable curiosity ever since a report by Reuters in 1998[10] reported on rumours that it might be or contain a working time machine, a speculation that has been fuelled by various articles written by the musician Stephen Coates of the band The Real Tuesday Weld."

"Brompton Cemetery is a London cemetery in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. It is managed by The Royal Parks, and is one of the Magnificent Seven cemeteries. Established by Act of Parliament and erected in 1839, it opened in 1840 and was originally known as the West of London and Westminster Cemetery.
"Consecrated by Charles James Blomfield, the Bishop of London in June 1840, it is one of Britain's oldest and most distinguished garden cemeteries. Some 35,000 monuments, from simple headstones to substantial mausolea, mark the resting place of more than 205,000 burials. The site includes large plots for family mausolea, and common graves where coffins are piled deep into the earth, as well as a small columbarium. There is also a secluded Garden of Remembrance at the northern end, for cremated remains. It is also an urban haven for nature.
"By the early years of the 19th century, inner city burial grounds, mostly churchyards, had long been unable to cope with the number of burials and were seen as a hazard to health and an undignified way to treat the dead. In 1837 a decision was made to lay out a new burial ground in Brompton, London. The moving spirit behind the project was the engineer, Stephen Geary, and it was necessary to form a company in order to get parliamentary permission to raise capital for the purpose. Securing the land – some 40 acres – from local landowner, Lord Kensington and the Equitable Gas Light Company, as well as raising the money proved an extended challenge. The cemetery became one of seven large, new cemeteries founded by private companies in the mid-19th century (sometimes called the 'Magnificent Seven') forming a ring around the edge of London."

Anna is down in Texas and has taken the Rebal with her. There were several times I wished I had the camera with me, but oh well. Here's another shot from VBS.
U.S. Ambassador Dan Shapiro told reporters today that President Obama’s upcoming visit to Israel has “a very urgent agenda.”
Although the White House has not officially released the date of the president’s visit, speculation is that it will begin on March 20th. March 20th is six weeks away.
Shapiro also said, “We have a very complex agenda about Iran, Syria, and the need to get Israel and the Palestinians back to the negotiating table.” That would seem to suggest that Mr. Obama may have an agenda in which everything is tied directly or indirectly to promoting negotiations with the Palestinians, especially since he also intends to visit with Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas and Jordan’s King Abdullah II.
The Palestinian Authority seems to be reading the purpose of the trip entirely differently than how Ambassador Shapiro framed it. A spokesman for Abbas said that “He welcomes the visit, which he hopes will result in the establishment of a Palestinian state alongside Israel.”
The Palestinian agenda is to circumvent Israel through the United Nations, to train its children to hate Israel and prepare for war, and to stop Israel from executing its program of expansion of its rightful and legal territory in the West Bank. You can be sure that President Obama’s “urgent agenda” is primarily focused on getting Israel to yield to its enemies to solve “The Palestinian Problem.”
Israel cannot afford to negotiate. Doing so can only lead to the destruction that the Palestinians seek. Israel needs leaders like Benjamin Netanyahu who are not afraid. She needs leaders who understand that the Lord is unfolding His promise that “With deep compassion I will bring you back . . . with everlasting kindness I will have compassion on you.” (Isaiah 35:7-8) To which He added, “Tyranny will be far from you; you will have nothing to fear. Terror will be far removed; it will not come near you. If anyone does attack you, it will not be my doing; whoever attacks you will surrender to you.” (35:14-15)
If anything is urgent, it is that we cover Israel and Jerusalem with our prayers for God’s peace and protection as we are enjoined to do in Psalm 122:6. Please join with us, and pray those verses from Isaiah. When we pray God’s Word, it never returns void.

REVEALED: Kapil Sharma asserts that his health is the only reason behind his break
With a fresh controversy being brewed related to Kapil Sharma, there have been several speculations regarding the break that the actor-comedian has taken from his ongoing comedy show The Kapil Sharma Show. From rumours of him being thrown out of the channel owing to low TRPs to him joining a rehab to deal with alcoholism, several such reports have been doing the rounds and now, Kapil Sharma has decided to put an end to all.
Kapil Sharma is currently in Bengaluru undergoing a treatment for anxiety, blood pressure and sugar problems. The popular stand-up comedian asserted that he is indeed extremely unwell which is a result of his unbalanced diet and hence is taking up Ayurvedic treatment to deal with the issues. He explained that since he has been working for the past 10 years without a break and ignoring his health in the process, he now wants to focus on the same before his health condition worsens.
Denying that the break from the show is a consequence of low TRPs, Kapil Sharma asserted that he continues to share a great camaraderie with the Sony officials and that the channel has been supportive even when he asked for a break. Furthermore, he also quashed the ongoing reports about his arrogant behaviour towards Shah Rukh Khan stating that he wouldn’t jeopardize his biggest source of income by disrespecting a superstar like Shah Rukh Khan. He also appreciated the niceness and kindness with which the superstar has always behaved towards him and also about how much he respects Mr. Khan. He also clarified that he wouldn’t make any superstar or any other person wait for his show.
If that wasn’t enough, the comedian turned actor also spoke about his ‘big fight’ with Sunil Grover wherein the reports claimed that he had allegedly hurled a shoe at Grover in a drunken state. Terming it to be an accident, Kapil admitted that the incident, which happened when he was shooting with Sunil for seven days a week, was wrong on his part. He maintained that it was the result of him grappling about 50 things and hence wasn’t able to handle the situation tactfully. He however extended his best wishes to co-star Sunil Grover for his future endeavours.
Talking about his alleged romance Preeti Simoes walking out of his life as well as their fallout professionally that resulted in her starting up a new show titled The Drama Company, all Kapil Sharma had to say was that he never asked anyone to leave or be a part of the show. While he and Sunil had prior to this sorted out their differences as the latter even returned to the show, Kapil continued to state that even now, he would be happy to welcome anyone who wants to re-join the show. He also wished Preeti all the luck for her new show and added that personal equations do not decide his professional moves.
As for his own return, Kapil revealed that his treatment would be completed by the end of September and that he would be back with the show on Sony network once he finishes the promotions of his film Firangi. He also added that Firangi is almost on the verge of completion and that only the shoot of a promotional video and a song is left to be shot in Mumbai.

Banksy is a pseudonymous England-based street artist, political activist, and film director whose real name and identity remain unconfirmed and the subject of speculation. Active since the 1990s, his satirical street art and subversive epigrams combine dark humour with graffiti executed in a distinctive stenciling technique. His works of political and social commentary have appeared on streets, walls, and bridges throughout the world. His work grew out of the Bristol underground scene, which involved collaborations between artists and musicians. Banksy says that he was inspired by 3D, a graffiti artist and founding member of the musical group Massive Attack.
Banksy displays his art on publicly visible surfaces such as walls and self-built physical prop pieces. He no longer sells photographs or reproductions of his street graffiti, but his public "installations" are regularly resold, often even by removing the wall on which they were painted. Much of his work can be classified as temporary art. A small number of his works are officially, non-publicly, sold through an agency he created called Pest Control. Banksy's documentary film Exit Through the Gift Shop (2010) made its debut at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. In January 2011, he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature for the film. In 2014, he was awarded Person of the Year at the 2014 Webby Awards.
Banksy's name and identity remain unconfirmed and the subject of speculation. In a 2003 interview with Simon Hattenstone of The Guardian, Banksy is described as "white, 28, scruffy casual—jeans, T-shirt, a silver tooth, silver chain and silver earring. He looks like a cross between Jimmy Nail and Mike Skinner of The Streets." An ITV News segment of 2003 featured a short interview with someone identified in the reporting as Banksy. Banksy began as an artist at the age of 14, was expelled from school, and served time in prison for petty crime. According to Hattenstone, "anonymity is vital to him because graffiti is illegal". Banksy reportedly lived in Easton, Bristol, during the late 1990s, before moving to London around 2000.
In an interview with the BBC in 2003, which was rediscovered in November 2023, reporter Nigel Wrench asked if Banksy is called Robert Banks; Banksy responded that his forename is Robbie. The Mail on Sunday claimed in 2008 that Banksy is Robin Gunningham, born on 28 July 1974 in Yate, 12 miles (19 km) from Bristol. Several of Gunningham's associates and former schoolmates at Bristol Cathedral School have corroborated this, and, in 2016, a study by researchers at the Queen Mary University of London using geographic profiling found that the incidence of Banksy's works correlated with the known movements of Gunningham. According to The Sunday Times, Gunningham began employing the name Robin Banks, which eventually became Banksy. Two cassette sleeves featuring his art work from 1993, for the Bristol band Mother Samosa, exist with his signature. In June 2017, DJ Goldie referred to Banksy as "Rob" in an interview for a podcast.
Other speculations on Banksy's identity include the following:
Robert Del Naja (also known as 3D), a member of the trip hop band Massive Attack, had been a graffiti artist during the 1980s prior to forming the band, and was previously identified as a personal friend of Banksy.
In 2020, users on Twitter began to speculate that former Art Attack presenter Neil Buchanan was Banksy. This was denied by Buchanan's publicist.
In 2022, Billy Gannon, a local councillor in Pembroke Dock was rumoured to be Banksy. He subsequently resigned because the speculation was affecting his ability to carry out the duties of a councillor. "I'm being asked to prove who I am not, and the person that I am not may not exist," he said. "I mean, how am I supposed to prove that I'm not somebody who doesn't exist? Just how do you do that?"
In October 2014, an internet hoax circulated that Banksy had been arrested and his identity revealed.

Red Bull’s Daniel Ricciardo says there is little substance in rumours linking him with a switch to Ferrari next year, and that he treats the media chatter as a bit of ‘fun’.
With speculation continuing to swirl around Kimi Raikkonen’s future with the Italian squad, Ricciardo’s name has been one of several put forward as a potential replacement. The Australian outshone current Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel when the two were team mates last year, www.formula1.com reports.
“I don’t even know where the rumours started actually - it’s really exploded,” Ricciardo said. “Ferrari is probably the only top team potentially with a seat open, which is why I guess my name and a few others have been linked to that.
“It’s a bit of a laugh. You know what, it’s fun - we talk about these things now, so it creates some variety in our conversations! Obviously it is nice to be regarded by a top team like that - it’s nice to know there is interest from other teams as well. But I am with a top team too.”
Asked if either he or his management had held talks with Ferrari, Ricciardo joked: “I am my manager. I haven’t had any talks - we’ve had indirect talks through the media I guess!”
Ricciardo was one of the stars of the 2014 season, taking three wins and finishing third overall in the drivers’ standings. However, he and Red Bull have struggled for form this season - he currently lies seventh overall, with his best finish being fifth at Monaco.

GOLDEN RULE FIRST IN CITY
San Francisco was the feverish center of another gold rush in 1872 – a rush of wild speculation in the great hydraulic and quartz mines during which hundreds lost their fortunes and dozens of firms failed.
In this fermenting time the Golden Rule Bazaar opened it doors under the leadership of the Davis Bros.
All San Francisco was eager to inspect the new store– the only bazaar on the Pacific Coast and one of the first in the United States.
Before long the Golden Rule had outgrown its original building and by 1893 occupied three separate stores.
That year Adolph Feist leased a building on Market-Street below Fifth, with the idea of turning it into a large department store, hoping to interest an Eastern concern in the venture. This failing, he was obliged to organize his own company based on a loose co-operative basis, renting space to individual merchants, and in 1896, with great pomp, the new store – the Emporium – stood open.
But the business did not thrive. It lacked centralized policy and management. F.W. Dohrman saw possibilities in the project, in spite of general opinion that any department store south of Market Street must fail. Through his efforts the Golden Rule Bazaar and the Emporium were merged.
Soon a well-knit organization was thriving and the store became a popular social as well as shopping center, with band concerts every Saturday night.
From 1898 to 1906 an unbroken line of success forged the Emporium up among the leaders of the city's retail trade. For two and one-half years after the [1906 earthquake and] fire, the Emporium maintained a temporary "crossroads" store on Van Ness-Avenue while quarters were being erected on the old Market-Street site.
The new building with 775,000 square feet of floor space, a glass arcade, lofty dome, solid mahogany fixtures, and the new grocery department, the Emporium ranked among the greatest department stores in the country. Today, it is still the largest store in San Francisco.
