America, the land of big things, huge debt and large consumption; why change? The whole idea of capitalism and business are to get bigger, gain more and in return settle into a comfy nest of wealth. Nothing is wrong with success. But times they are a changin’ and the world is moving in a direction [...]
I did a sketch for this week's David & Goliath, this was one of the ideas that came to my head a quick sketch something about these characters in the Bible.CHEERS!

STEPHEN LONG: In Australia, in the food business, two retail giants dominate the supply chain. It's among the highest concentrations of retail power in the developed world.
Last month the competition watchdog delivered its report on grocery prices. It says the market is working.
GRAEME SAMUEL, ACCC CHAIRMAN: We characterise it as workably competitive.
STEPHEN LONG: But there's another
The Philistines had come. The Israelites were scared. To move or be courageous, no one even dared. A giant named Goliath, stood waiting for a fight. No one there came forth, considering his height.

The Federal Trade Commission’s decision to issue subpoenas in its antitrust investigation of Intel for anticompetitive conduct is, in part, the successful result of an intensive strategic communications campaign launched years ago by Intel’s chief U.S. rival, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD).
According to media reports, the FTC investigation will probe accusations that Intel’s pricing policies h

First Drafts reports on Nick Clegg's "exasperation" over the running of Parliament. Mr Clegg has written rather frankly about what he views as the centralised, undemocratic system whereby governments almost always get their way:No amount of whooping and yelling in the Commons can obscure Westminster’s guilty secret: the rules of the game are totally stacked in favour of the Government, rendering

In his tribute to EDDINGTON’s victory in Saturday’s Gomma Gomma Challenge Gr1, top turf writer David Thistleton observed that EDDINGTON’s performance was a complement to the quality of this year’s three-year-olds, and in the manner of his victory it’s only hard to disagree. In his two previous outings, EDDINGTON had been comprehensively beaten by SA Derby winner, KING’s GAMBIT in the SA Classic, and prior to that by IMBONGI in the Gauteng Guineas and the SA Guineas. Before Saturday IMBONGI and Cape Derby Winner ROYAL SAGE, shared the distinction of holding the highest rating among the current three-year-olds, though that may have changed after this Saturday.

We just recently had a new air conditioner installed. While the technicians were here, I had the kids put up in their rooms. I know what it's like when your trying to complete something very tiring, and there are dogs crawling all over you. I had sympathy for the tech's, and did not want to subject them to this annoying element of having pets around. The kids were not very happy about it, and made sure that we knew. We also put the Bassets in the front yard, seeing as that the technicians would be working mostly inside the house and the back yard. Everything went great until it was time to let the kids out. I did not know it but the Technicians had opened the gate on the far side of the house from the back to front yard. Well I made sure the Bassets were in the back yard, and then let the

Yahoo’s new radio campaign is both ridiculous and an obvious attempt at propping up what can and is being perceived as a sinking ship takeover target.

Michael Chang was just elected into the tennis hall of fame (1/23/08). It's an amazing accomplishment when you consider all that he had to overcome in his career. He was never blessed with any of the god-given talent or ability that many of his rivals possed and he was almost always the smallest/shortest player in his matches. Still, he managed to climb to the peak of his sport thanks to his incredible work ethic, unrelenting determination and awe-inspiring heart. No one hustled more than Michael Chang, period. The first thought that pops into any tennis fan's mind whenever we hear the name Michael Chang is the 1989 French Open champtionship that he won. It is considered one of the biggest upsets and greatest underdog performances in sports history. What he accomplished transcended sports

The Goliath grouper, formerly Jewfish until an official name change in 2001, is a large growing reef dwelling species and as you will see is one of the hardest pulling fish you can hook into! Although they are reputedly very good eating the Goliath grouper is totally protected from harvest and is recognized as a critically endangered species by the World Conservation Union1. Like most grouper's the Goliath grouper is slow growing and is essential to the health of the underwater reef systems so protection is necessary.This is one amazing video of one of the biggest groupers I have ever seen. It was estimated at 500 pounds! This is a great video that is a must watch (it does contain some self promotion, but nothing over the top.)1. Wikipedia
In a recent edition of the Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society (JETS 50/3), there is a discussion about the "giant" status of Goliath (of "five smooth stones" fame).Daniel Hays argues that Goliath was "only 6 feet 9 inches tall and not 9 feet 9 inches." He concludes,Thus, Goliath was probably about the size of an NFL lineman like Flozell Adams of the Dallas Cowboys (or perhaps I should use Michael Strahan of the Giants as my illustration?). ("The Height of Goliath: A Response to Clyde Billington," p. 516)In the same edition, Clyde Billington responds to Hays' arguments. He rejects Hays' contention that Goliath was this height because he thinks all of the best manuscripts of 1 Samuel 17:4-7 point to the traditional reading of his height being 6 cubits (around 8 feet tall). He con

Got this piece of information from TechCrunch. Rick Skrenta (a very media savvy guy) who is known more for first computer virus and stuff like that is coming with a bang by starting up something which intends to take on Google...Yeah, on Search.This is what he said in this blog post:...But I get asked - why do search? Simple - the idea that the current state-of-the-art in search is what we'll all be using, essentially unchanged, in 5 or 10 years, is absurd to me. The web is big. Really, really big. It's literally billions and billions of pages. It's Carl Sagan big. And it's doubling in size every year or two. So the idea that what you can see in positions 1-3 above the fold on Google are the sum of what the web has to say about every possible query is crazy...The guys are still work
Hardbeatnews, WASHINGTON, D.C., Mon. Dec. 24, 2007: The Caribbean island of Antigua & Barbuda, viewed largely as a ‘David’ in its fight against the mighty Uncle Sam, aka, ‘Goliath,’ has won another round at the World Trade Organization.

I awoke late yesterday morning rushing and prodding my way out the door. I was running behind, and that just makes me nervous. You see, I hadn’t been as resourceful as I usually am the night before. I generally have everything ready that I need to take with me the following morning. I sit it by my front door to ensure that I remember to take it all with me. Of course, on the morning I’m running late, I have accomplished nothing. I have to run through my house gathering everything last minute while trying to not wake Allie up, because that would make the process of leaving the house take much longer.
(You wouldn’t believe how difficult it is to convince a two year old to wear pants some mornings. Some mornings it’s just that she wants particular pants and yada yada yada.Blue jeans, purple pants, blue jeans, repeat.)
Back to the story, my tardiness would have been fine had I not gotten half way into the drive to Allie’s babysitter for my low f
It's interesting to know that only 86% of non-mainline Protestants believe that David actually, literally... really, truly killed Goliath. Maybe the rest should decide whether or not they really love Jesus.For more on the current status of American Christianity... check out this news article here.
Paul Byrd is perpetuating a myth, and he must be stopped."They have Mariano Rivera, throwing 94 [mph] and carving up the strike zone, and we throw our blue-collar closer, Joe Borowski. He doesn't have the best fastball or the best ERA, but that's how we do it. That's how we've been winning all year, playing as a team and working together." --Indians starter Paul ByrdYou also throw your unhittable lefty-righty tandem of middle relievers named Rafael: Perez, and Betancourt. Both of whom had better years than Rivera, and both of whom do plenty of strike-zone carving and 94-mph-fastball throwing. Also, "Blue Collar" Borowski made $4.25 million this year. So give me a break; the world's smallest violin is already engaged elsewhere (Chicago, for example). The Indians weren't plucky underdogs confronting a big, bad, quasi-invincible Yankee machine; they might not have had the name recognition of their New York opponents, but they did have a collection of talent which won more games than
STANFORD! STANFORD! STANFORD! STANFORD! The pundits gave us a 0.0457 chance to beat the number one ranked USC, who hasn't lost at home since the September 2001 (also STANFORD!!!!) and whose coach had only lost 12 total games at USC.

The two most storied brands in pharmaceuticals and rescue & relief are going toe-to-toe. Johnson & Johnson and the Red Cross have peacefully shared the iconic red cross symbol for more than 100 years–until now. J&J is suing the Red Cross for trademark infringement, claiming that the charity has violated their original agreement of 1895 by licensing use of the red cross logo on products in direct competition with the drug giants’.
From an intellectual property perspective, I’m sympathetic to Johnson & Johnson’s situation. When a company allows their brand to be diminished–whether by a well-known non-profit or cutthroat competitor–they’re opening the door for others to follow suit. It’s well within their rights (and their responsibilities to their shareholders) to protect their intellectual property and their brand.
But when we move from a business perspective toward a communications perspective, it is critical that companie

The only reason this guy didn't end up in the Character Hall of Shame is that he changed his name to Giant-Man and actually had a pretty cool costume after this one.What is with that window pane over the stomach? If I wore something like that, it would look like someone squeezing a tube of cookie dough.And I always hate that huge collar, no matter who is wearing it. You know, when your fighting for your life on a regular basis, I would think that peripherial vision might be something to strive for. Not with this guy.
As many of you may know, I am getting ready to make candies this week. Making some 50 plus pounds of candy takes thoughtful planning. Items such as packaging, wax paper, cellophane, ribbon, chocolate, sugar, corn syrup, almonds and other less perishable goods can be purchased several weeks or more in advance. I time my candymaking marathon carefully to allow any candies that I will be shipping to reach their recipients by Christmas. Therefore, I should start making candies around December 13th and finish no later than one week before Christmas.
All of my non-perishable supplies are on hand by the end of November, which leaves a rather quiet first week and a half of December to do other holiday activities like decorating, shopping and celebrating my birthday. As the candymaking window looms closer, I do one of the few ingredient-related processing tasks that can be done in advance—the chopping of nine to ten pounds of roasted, unsalted almonds for the English Toffee. Yes, you can

Algunos ejemplares aun con la boca cerrada se le pueden ver los grandes dientes.
