Here in the last year I have come to realize that nothing is guaranteed and everything is dependant on everything else. Although I have always known this, the idea seems more relevant with the recent occurrences in my life and in the lives of the people around me. From the loss of a good friend to the ever-changing dynamic of the music scene I'm involved in, life is unstable. Good news is often of

We can't change the market...  We can't change our clients and who they are (well we can, but that is usually a pretty painful process!)...  We can't change the economy... We CAN change our attitude.  We can make a positive attitude a habit for ourselves, daily.  I am reminded of a fantastic quote from Dr. Chuck Swindoll.  I had this hanging on my office wall for many years.  Dr. Swindoll sa

Regardless of the size and complexity of infrastructure you are running, it is always very important to have an established process of change management to your resources.

We talk a lot on this blog about writing, our projects, our experiences. It's weird, then, that we haven't really written about our actual writing processes.As you can tell from my Writing Weeks, I'm abut 19 weeks into the year and have completed two first drafts of new scripts from scratch. Two new specs in about 10 weeks apiece. Factor in the fact that I tend to experience a two week lull after completing a project, and that brings it down to about 8 weeks I spend on a script. From start of the outline to finishing the draft. Yeah, I'm fast (... in my writing).Don't get me wrong, though, I don't consider those two months on each script to be all that I need to complete a project. I'm usually pleased with my first drafts, though aware of the work they need. I just can't get myself to loo

Until recently, the title tags generated for each page of your Blogger blog would display the blog title first, then the name of your post.This wasn't so good for SEO (search engine optimization) as this made keywords from your post titles appear after your blog title.Luckily, Blogger have come up with a simple fix for this problem for those who use Layouts templates: the <data:blog.pageName/> tag! This new tag is already installed for new blogs (or if you change your existing template to one of Blogger's default ones).However, if you have customized your template or uploaded a third party template, you will need to change the original <data:blog.pageTitle/> to the new <data:blog.pageName/> tag for this change to take effect.But don't worry: this is REALLY easy!

Last year, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concluded that warming oceans could contribute to increasingly severe cyclones with stronger winds and heavier rains."While we can never pinpoint one disaster as the result of climate change, there is enough scientific evidence that climate change will lead to intensification of tropical cyclones," said Sunita Narain, director of the Indian environmental group Center for Science and Environment."Na

Many who suffer from panic and anxiety attacks have given up hope finding any salvation. Some studies have shown that a majority of those who suffer from panic and anxiety attacks have given up trying to find a way to regain life without them. If you are one of them, you will be happy to know there are now new and innovative ways for treating anxiety attacks. If you think you might be one of those affected, the first important step is understand exactly what a panic attack is, and what it is not. These attacks actually stem from a normally beneficial component of our self defense mechanisms. The "fight or flight" response serves as an early warning system thus alerting us to danger. The problem arises when this normally protective system becomes activated at inappropriate times when one is

And they, the users, only have to wait until the second half of 2008 to see it, which is pretty close.

Microsoft, which has been under a lot of fire for the high failure rate of its Xbox 360 consoles may by August of this year be facing an end to this problem. This is simply because the 90nm GPU, which is the troublesome part in the current Xboxes, will be phased out in favor of the 65nm GPUs. This new GPU will be called Jasper and has been subcontracted to TSMC and Nanya PCB corp.This move comes reportedly on the basis that Microsoft has already exhausted its current supply of 90nm GPUs, paving the way for the company to reduce its costs and improve performance, by using smaller chips based on the 65nm process. This is however not the final move in the GPU/CPU integration program. A year after the release of the ‘Jasper’ GPUs, Microsoft will move to integrate the GPU/CPU into a single

If the world is going to truly combat greenhouse gas emissions, China and India have to be part of the fight, the chief economist for the Paris-based International Energy Agency said Tuesday. Fatih Birol told oil and gas executives at the Offshore Technology Conference in Houston that the economies of China and India are growing at such a pace that they'll keep needing more energy, much of it from coal. Even if Europe cuts emissions by 20 percent in the next dozen years as pledged, it won't be enough to overcome emissions anticipated to increase in the developing giants, he said.But don't blame China, the bigger of the two, he said.China's growth is "simply imitating" what developed countries have already done. Americans love their cars, and increasingly the Chinese do as well, driving mo

For many years on the crew there has been the debate about having BLACK hard hats and how hot they get. The crew has had the black hard hats since about 1999 when the Superintendent Dennis Baldridge decided to change from the standard yellow for firefighters and red for overhead when the crew celebrated their 25th anniversary by returning to the original crew logo (Oak Tree) and the original ringer crew T-shirts of grey and black. Well, with new overhead in place it has been decided to change the color of our hard hats to something a bit cooler in the hot weather. We wanted something that would still blend the crew colors of grey and black and be original. Below is the new crew hardhat.

Hey everyone,This post is totally related to my personal experience in the past 20 years of the changes I have observed in communication system on phone in India.Today I am over 30 and I can easily remember how it used to be when I was 10 year old.I remember, whenever we (family) had to made a long distance call 20 years back, we had to book a call through our phone service provider (PSP). I remember calling to our PSP and asking the person on the other side to dial a number for us. After hours of waiting , there used to be a call back from our PSP. Then we were able to talk to our desired person.Time changed and I remember nearly 15 years back, that we got the facility of long distance dialing by ourselves. That made it easy for us to call a number and talk. We no longer had to wait for o

BIG DIFFERENCE. $13.00 x 5 oil changes a year =$65 PER VEHICLE!Ask if they have any specials. The place I used to use was really bad for this, they would give you the oil change for $29.99 because thats what everyone asked for, but they had an LOF (lube/oil/filter)

We are not as frozen into categories as we may think (pro-gay or anti-gay). There is a spectrum of ways in which people think about all of these issues. Individuals move. Progress is made. People change. I received an e-mail the other day from Andy Cullen, who wrote a testimonial for the Covenant Network last fall. His testimony is on page three. I urge you to read it.Here is a minister who changed his mind. What if the denomination had split before he had changed his mind? He might never have had the opportunity to shift and grow. As much of a drag it is to deal with these debates again and again, we are not as rigid as we may think we

Back in 1999 - long before Bank of America’s Keep the Change program - my bank teller supervisor was filling us in on her sneaky snowflaking technique that worked much the same way. For every check she wrote or debit card transaction she made, she would write the amount in her checkbook register as an even number.  The [...]

We look for all kinds of ways to motivate ourselves, but sometimes all we really need is a little change of environment.  An extra light here, books on the other side of our desks etc can do wonders to our energy level. One of the things I did lately was change my laptop from a Dell [...]

Long-term mortgage rates saw very little change over the past week, according to Freddie Mac. The company said that interest on 30-year fixed loans came in at 6.06% compared to 6.03% for the previous week. Other rates registered a little downward movement, but not much, with the 15-year fixed mortgage averaging 5.59% compared to 5.62% a week earlier and the five-year hybrid adjustable rate floating up to 5.73% from 5.68% over the same period. The one-year ARM, meanwhile, held steady at 5.29%.It does not appear that there is much mortgage rate relief in the immediate future. The bond rates are fluctuating, the New York Stock Exchange is unpredictable, and mortgage backed securities are not seeing the funding required to lower Nashville rates.

The Crewe and Nantwich By-election will be upon us very soon. An unseemly rush to hold the election, an unseemly scramble for candidates to be nominated. All very unseemly in the unseemly world of New Labour.The election will be on the 22nd May and Labour have announced that Gwyneth Dunwoody's daughter Tamsin will fight the seat. There has been a long tradition in British politics for spouses or other relatives to take over the party cause in by-elections. Some would say this is a way to keep the electorate on side with a sympathy vote, others think it gives a natural feeling of dynastic continuity. After all, an MP in the Westminster model of democracy is very much wedded to a constituency. In fact, constituents are known to get the hump on occasions as with Mark Woodnutt in the Isle of W

with Professor of Fangeekonomics, Ms. Melissa Voelker Reference Materials for today's class: Xena: Warrior Princess, Episode 1.14 – A Fistful of Dinars As everyone knows, Xena did not live the life of a saint before her meeting up with Hercules set her on the path of goodness. Instead she lived the life of a mercenary warlord who was out to conquer everything in her path, no matter what it took to do it. And while she lived this bloodthirsty existence, she socialized with people who lived similar existences. Eventually she was able to change, because deep down she was not a bad person. Yet it seemed difficult for her to see that other people were able to change too. Even those that had wronged her in her previous life, who seemed just as if not more ruthless and bloodthirsty as she, co

If you're among those that wants to see change in the world, you've probably heard Ghandi's "be the change you wish to see in the world." I try to do that, even when it's really not what I want to do. For example, there is a stereotype that "environmentalists" are urban dwellers who know nothing about nature. I grew up in a small town in the middle of a traditionally farming area. When I was a kid, my friends and I spent hours and hours wading around in a slough looking at bugs, catching frogs and tadpoles and filling our rubber boots full of water from time to time. Most city kids probably haven't even had that exposure. But even though I grew up relatively "in the countryside," I still don't know a whole lot about nature, much to my embarrassment. However, a free paper that goes around m
