From today's WSJ, "The Declining Value of Your College Degree":For decades, the typical college graduate's wage rose well above inflation. But no longer. In the economic expansion that began in 2001 and now appears to be ending, the inflation-adjusted wages of the majority of U.S. workers didn't grow, even among those who went to college. The government's statistical snapshots show the typical wee

1. Little SuprisesWhile there’s nothing necessarily wrong with, “Honey, I’m pregnant with quadruplets,” this isn’t the kind of little surprise we’re talking about. But, “Babe, I picked up a new pair of khakis for you,” or “Sweetie, I got a babysitter for tonight so we can see a movie,” definitely is. Besides getting a new pair of pants or a hot date out of the deal, we’re rem

THE 10 ELEMENTS OF CARE by Peter White1. Necessaries — food, clothing, shelter, medical attention, basic education.2. Affection — This involves “the great big person who takes care of me opening him or herself to me, making him or herself vulnerable and human in a way, connecting with me physically and in spirit, and thus affirms my significance as a person.”3.

We had a variety of Maddie-related tasks to do today - prescriptions, follow-up appointments & consults, and lessons on how to mix her medications - so when I woke up this morning feeling like my appendages weighed 1,000 pounds each I knew it would be a long day. I had a physical therapy appointment at 7am with a different therapist than usual. She couldn't believe all the knots in my back and nec

Received this from a forwarded email. Take a good look at this picture, can you see anything else besides coffee beans? Nothing? Let me give you a clue, according to the email, there's a man inside the coffee beans. Can you see it now? Can you? Can You?From the email:Doctors have concluded that if you find the man in the coffee beans in 3 seconds, the right half of your brain is better developed than most people. If you find the man between 3 seconds and 1 minute, the right half of the brain is developed normally. If you find the man between 1 minute and 3 minutes, then the right half of your brain is functioning slowly and you need to eat more protein. If you have not found the man after 3 minutes, the advice is to look for more of this type of exercise to make that part of the b

Enlarge picture Nokia N95 was until now officially available only in two colors, silver and red. Well, the red one is not for sale world-wide, but it can still be called "available". As of April 2008, the Nseries handset will also come in white and blue, but unfortunately these new versions can only be bought in Japan, from Softbank, the third largest mobile operator in the country. However, knowing that Nokia doesn't want to lose any chance of boosting the sales of its phones, we can hope the white and blue N95 will also be released in the rest of the world sometimes soon. On the other hand, the Finnish company might not want to do this, since N95's successor, N95 8GB, was also launched, and Nokia probably wants to keep it into the spotlight. Even more, the N96 the &q

Rumored boyfriend Chris Brown has reportedly bought his new girl Rihanna an exclusive diamond necklace.

Hi everybody,Besides and beside São duas palavras que geralmente confundem os estudantes de Inglês. Gramaticalmente, besides é um advérbio ou uma "preposição", e beside uma preposição. Beside Beside significa próximo(ao lado), perto: A house beside the sea She sat beside her friend.

I do not profess to be a historian nor am I a political activist. Yet November 22, yesterday, came and passed as our Thanksgiving Day celebration. Nowhere and I mean nowhere in mainstream media, print or television, was there a mention that November 22, 2007 marks the 44 year anniversary of the assasination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy our country’s greatest hope for justice and peace. Yes 44 years is not a round number or one that we traditionally celebrate or mourn an anniversary in this country. But it is very significant that we continue to pretend that the assassination of one of this country’s greatest statesman was nothing more than a single act carried out by a lone gunman bent on taking political Cold War action for his beloved Cuba. The proof that this was a coup led by our government to silence JFK permanently is everywhere-except in our mainstream media. Without listing the facts regarding the trajectory of a bullet, the lack of a standard operati

I don’t know anyone of you faced this. Most of you, guys and girls are here because you blog. No matter how many time you have dedicated to blogging, I am sure there are still some time for your other daily routines and you have other things to pursue for. How high “blogging” is in your daily life activities ranking? You rank it as your top priority or you don’t care about it at all or is it between something and something? When you look at my blog, how high will you think I rank blogging in my life? I am not sure what you all think but I rank two things high up in my priority, my studies and blogging. Do you think this is possible? Trying to write a “quality” post (if you think it is) everyday and surfing the blogs of all my wonderful visitors, blogging is more than just a hobby for me, it’s like part of me! I don’t call it a job and I don’t like people calling me part-time blogger either because I don’t buy food and pay my

I am quite worn out now after a day's out in Ipoh. I took 2 buses before I reached Ipoh this morning. I had to go down to Ipoh by bus as my hubby had already been there a few days earlier. Once we met up, we went to buy our new computer. I told you my computer was broken down a few days ago, right ? As we could only get our new computer at 5 pm, so we went to Parkson Grand and enjoyed foot

Super Bowl XL is, of course, the talk of the town, but sports bettors have other events on which to wager leading up to the big day.Basketball, college and pro, and golf are among the biggies, but the horses and buggies are in action -- or soon will be -- too.Thoroughbred racing already has kicked off its run to the Triple Crown, but the 3-year-old campaign will share the spotlight this weekend with a fairly new offering called the Sunshine Millions, a $3.6 million eight-race card that's designed for Florida and California-breds and alternates events between Gulfstream and Santa Anita Parks.Run for the Roses devotees will have the opportunity to wager on the first of three Kentucky Derby pools, being offered earlier than usual this year.Two others will coincide with big races in March and April.The key for those who participate in Derby pools is to pick the right one on which to wager, as odds fluctuate and horses move in and out of the picture.Pools list odds, made by Churchill Downs

I've recently discovered Orla Kiely, who's laminated canvas hand bags are not only weather proof, but drenching the photos of fellow flickr friends. Like my auntie, this is not a fashion blog, but Orla's form-follows-function designs can not be ignored. I usually trot out my, soon to be vintage, red canvas Coach purse from 2002, with over sized C logos and chestnut leather details, each winter. Rain drops and suede hobo's don't mix, so patent leather and canvas are what I take with me on rainy day errands. I'm young and don't have babies so this is one of the distractions I spend my time thinking about.

 BAR-B-CUTIE® OPENS ON RECORD BREAKER 104°F DAY  Nashville, TN – Nestled between several rival high schools, just down the street from Cool Springs Galleria and the Factory of Franklin, under a 10 minute drive to antique shops, museum and mansions is the NEW Bar-B-Cutie® Restaurant. Bar-B-Cutie® opened its doors today, on a Nashville, TN record-breaking 104° F day, a day when Bar-B-Cutie® will probably sell more BBQ Salads than BBQ Sandwiches.  Yes, today something other than the weather is sizzling!  Franklin residents have been eagerly awaiting Bar-B-Cutie®’s opening.   “One of the finest BBQ restaurants we had closed over a year ago.  There are so many schools, churches, and families out here who love to pick up those home cooked veggies and barbecue.  I know we’ll all make good use of the new Bar-B-Cutie® right here in Franklin,” says Lynn Lunn, a Franklin reside

I'm pretty sure everything else he's saying is something along the lines of "Infidels! I shall floss my teeth with your entrails! Hey, is that gum? Dubble Bubble! Delicious! Now I shall kill you in the name of Allah! The fat one dies first as a warning to all who live in American excess!"

My hubby and I have funds earmarked for bills and savings, but we do not have any just-for-fun account.I was told by my buddy that life without having fun is boring and meaningful.

This time around though, we stand to win great prizes during their HDTV Tuesdays thanks to Bid4Prizes.com sponsorship.

So in order grab one of these highly sought after tasks, posties would have to drill-down into the task details to find out for sure. Posties who successfully obtain these tasks would also earn the money

I'm sure I've written most of this before but, as usual, something I heard on radio started me reflecting on the subject again. To me this seems so obvious that I now have trouble really get my head around why people make this mistake. However I can remember how this came as an eye-opening statement of clarity when I first came across it.Much of Western religious thinking seems to take God vs Atheism as the only possibilities. There is perhaps a fairly token nod towards pagan pantheism, and trying to find names that make God a bit more 'spiritual' and less of the old man with the long white beard (almost a sort of Merlin/Gandalf image). But this blank-and-white polarity is about as daft as saying that if a country isn't ruled by a Monarch then there must be Anarchy. If there isn't a King or Queen then there is some other form of government - it's that simple.Buddhism isn't atheistic (in the sense of denying the possibility of beings that appear to humans as god-like) but i

I don't know just exactly where this blog will go from this point, but I feel a need to kick the collective in the butt to wake them up. I may fall flat on my face as I have found that most people are very good at complaining but woefully short of doing. Such is the American way.Over the last several years I have sat by and listened to friends and acquaintances bitch and moan about the state of affairs in Washington, and in my case, Austin. Those mangy politicians are tearing the country down and giving it away. Those scurvy scoundrels are taking away all our rights (both real and imagined). The democrats are socialists and the republicans are fascists. We need to get rid of them and get something better.....and so on....endlessly. We are quick to bemoan the state of affairs and slow as a lava flow to get off our backsides and actually get involved.Last presidential election, Bush was elected by about one-quarter of the eligible voters. ONE BLOODY QUARTER! Most voters sat at home and

Apparently, being Irish in Illinois can make a person quite popular, perhaps just popular enough to be elected to a public office and determine the rights of freedom for the general public.
