Why decrease Productivity?

Well, after the Thanksgiving weekend I came back to a lot of stuff to catch up on. One article just stood out and could not let go of it. It was written in Canada but can assure you that this problem is alive and well in America. Adults should know better and grow up, learn to leave this garbage at the door. However, from experience and the feedback I get daily, I can assure you that childhood bullies grow worse and exist in the office as well. In the article, I read of a woman working in an o… Continue

Starman

From the whirling clouds of matter swirled From some dark distant place, Far beyond the distant vistas that The Hubble's lens could trace, There approached a battered vessel like The long lost Holy Grail, With a magno-drive, half crippled, as It landed on its tail. With the crusted metal glowing with The detritus of space, And an inner hum, a grinding like A flywheel out of place, There was seen to be an opening, A long descending lip, And a man with moons and crescents On his helmet, left the… Continue

Holiday Magic

HOLIDAY MAGIC In spite of the economy and all its miseries, as the Holiday Season descends upon us like the first gentle snowfall of winter, we cannot help but be caught up in its magic. A magic instilled within us as children, passed on to future generations; a magic dating back to that most profoundly magical night in Bethlehem almost 2000 years ago. There was hope that year, for a new world and that hope has nurtured us throughout the ensuing centuries with all its horrors and its wonders. I… Continue

. . .And We Thank Thee

. . . .AND WE THANK THEE Spicy, aromatic whiffs of pumpkin pie, plum pudding, and candied sweet potatoes mingle with and enhance the hearty, mouth-watering smell of roasted, stuffed turkeys. Thanksgiving, a harvest festival thanking the Creator for a bountiful year, has remained virtually unchanged since the pilgrims in Massachusetts shared that first feast with Chief Massoit and some of his braves.: although many of the foods we share today did not exist in that time. In many homes across the… Continue

Marketing 4 UR Writing

Marketing is a part, or it should be, of any writer’s life. Without it no one will ever hear about your efforts. This is where an outline of your goals and how you are going to achieve them come in handy. By putting them down on paper you have committed to them – in some way if you are determined – and will move the process toward an attainable victory. One of the items on your goal plan can be to submit so many manuscripts and/or articles a month to various sources. Before you do this, however… Continue

The Godwake

He stretched himself slowly And rubbed at his eyes, Rolled over and got to his feet, His breastplate was rusty, the straps and the eyes Had mouldered while he was asleep, And on the horizon, though barely awake The sun struggled over the hill, It gleamed on the droplets of dew on the grass As the figure stood listening and still. His eyes, they looked puzzled His visage was grim, He looked for the pillars of home, And where were the votaries praying to him, The Standards, the Legions of Rome? A… Continue

Facebook and Online Safety

Yesterday kicked off Anti-bullying Week and it goes from November 16-20 2009. One thing that is really being focused upon is the problem of cyber-bullying.

The problem is a huge one on social sites like My Space, Facebook, Twitter, Bebo and others where kids can go and interact with their friends as well as adults. . Facebook has decided to take some preventative measures and has launch… Continue
