Lifeline

Today was... today I capsized. Throw me a lifeline.Like most screenwriters, or people aspiring to be screenwriters, I have a day job, which I can tolerate most of the time. As far as day jobs go, it's really not that bad. But today, I felt like I was drowning. Today was one of those days where I realize just how much time I spend in a place that I don't want to be. For the most part, I manage to allow myself to care about work only when I'm actually in the office. And I care to the point where I know what I have to do and I do it, but I can just as easily take a breath, step out of the office, and be in my own place again. But today, after various office crap happened, I was hit in the face by the notion that I need something more. Soon.I don't mind working, but I want to work for me, to m

April 26, 2008 Bankrupts find lifeline with new HDB loan plan Scheme makes it easier for them to find new homes while paying off their existing debts By Arlina Arshad ABOUT 40 people who have been made bankrupt and face trouble securing home loans from a bank or the Housing Board (HDB) have found a lifeline in the form of a new loan scheme. Introduced in July last year by the HDB, these loans are designed to make it easier for bankrupts to find new homes and pay off their debts. But loan applicants must first satisfy the HDB's criteria, which include having the money to service monthly mortgage instalments while still satisfying creditors. An HDB spokesman told The Straits Times yesterday that proceeds from the sale of an existing flat should be used to finance a smaller home. 'To be real

Those snout-nosed number-crunchers from Brussels have been drawn into sniffing around the emergency government funding given to Northern Rock last year, after it was hard hit by the credit crunch. Some Danish bankers have complained to these bureaucrats that the British government is not playing fair.All I'd say is that before these guys pick up their pens they start to look at the appalling accounting system within the confines of the Brussels Bureaucracy. Otherwise they'll look a bit like Robert Mugabe probing the London Mayoral election results, should there be a complaint.The EU is in a mess financially, no accounts signed off for 13 years, and a simpering President, Jose Manuel Barroso, who no doubt knows how the brown envelope culture works, in complete denial.Whatever the Northern R

The banks of the Nile were and are very fertile. This important characteristic is what attracted the early settlers to Egypt. They formed two different kingdoms: Upper Egypt in the south, and Lower Egypt in the north, with the Nile Delta. People fished in the Nile and farmed on its banks. An entire civilization was [...]

With five local Post Office branches about to close, it appears that a late lifeline could be thrown if the Crewe and Nanwich Borough Council are allowed to intervene. If you've followed the national news headlines you might have seen the story about Essex County Council stepping in to run/fund a number of branches across their county (see BBC story here). CNBC wrote to the Post Office last month but were denied access to the information required to assess if/how they could help. Now another attempt is being made, this time direct to the Prime Minster! ....Margaret Simon, Deputy Group Leader, said: "I do hope that Gordon Brown will help us to obtain this information that could assist us in saving our local Post Offices. Post Offices are vital to our Borough's elderly and vulnerable residen

It will be interesting to see if the Clintons want to win this election enough to ask for Al Gores help. It is an open secret that there was never any love lost between either of the Clintons and Gore during the Clinton administrations two terms. Even more to the point it was often said that Al Gore was in direct competition with Hillary for not only the presidents attention but his trust as an adviser as well. And with an ambitious Hillary in the White House it comes as no surprise that Al Gore was tasked with very little of import during his tenure as Vice President. So, will Gore toe the DLC line and endorse Hillary or will he support Obama? Either way it has to be seen as a win win by Al Gore. Either the Clintons come to him hat in hand or he gets to stick it to the

Yet another plan hoping to aid homeowners was unveiled this past Tuesday. Now don’t think for a moment that this plan, introduced by the Bush administration and six of the largest mortgage lenders, will help every homeowner facing foreclosure. No…It won’t, but with the combination of this plan, the “Mortgage Rate Freeze,” the Economic Stimulus [...]

Addicted to junk grabs? Don't worry. Doctors in India are now offering a lifeline to fast food addicts and couch potatoes, whose mass of fatty tissues is touching the obesity meter. It's Bariatric or weight loss surgery which helps a obese to get back in shape by tinkering with the size of the stomachs. A person with a bio mass index of 35.2 is considered obese by doctors. "It is not liposuction. Bariatric surgery is a medical procedure in which the stomach is reduced to limit the intake of food and lose weight in the process," says Dr Sandeep Malhotra of the Obesity Control Team at the Artemis Hospital in Gurgaon. read more

BANDA ACEH, Indonesia (AP): For years Irwandi Yusuf fought for the independence of Aceh province. But now he's at the forefront of another struggle: trying to persuade wealthy nations and companies to offset their carbon emissions by saving his homeland's forests.Irwandi, who was elected governor after the 2004 tsunami ushered in an era of peace in the province, has traveled the world hawking the innovative plan to potential investors, including Starbucks and Goldman Sachs. Indonesia is one of several tropical countries, including Brazil, pushing proposals at the ongoing U.N. climate talks in Bali that offer up their forests as stocks of carbon for wealthy nations or companies to buy to offset their emissions of greenhouse gases. In effect, it means they get paid to stop chopping down thei

According to a Money Magazine article posted on the CNN Money website yesterday, those who bought homes in the United States as an investment may not be helped by the proposed U.S. Treasury Department rescue plan to save the homes of subprime borrowers with adjustable-rate mortgages who cannot afford higher payments as their interest rates reset in coming months, but who otherwise could afford to stay in their homes. The article said: It has also been reported that homes that were bought as investments - as opposed to for the purpose of living in - would be excluded. More than 50% of the increase in delinquent mortgages are actually investor-related, said Wachovia senior economist Mark Vitner. “It’s hard to conceive how any people are actually going to meet this criteria. There’s nothing at all in there that addresses investors,” said Vitner, who added he doesn’t support an investor bailout.

In my area, I am astonished as to how many agents do not have a separate website that promotes their name. I do realize that some agents may be new and may not have the advertising dollars to spend money on creating a web site or do not have the expertise to maintain one.  I also realize that some agents may be forbidden by their companies to have a website that is not associated with the company. But a good, clean website is extremely important to making a positive impression on your clients. It needs to be easy to use as well as be sufficient to support all the needs of potential clients. If you make it a one stop service area, then they will not have the need or desire to go to a different website.  Keeping them at your site is important to securing a good qualified lead. By keeping them there, it makes it easy for them to find the house that they are looking for, prior to them even contacting you. Remember, your website can bring customers in, or drive customers away

Ben Harper is one of the few surviving “traditionalists” in todays musical landscape. Even though Harper is a child of the eighties and nineties his music has always been a throwback to the decades before that. Harper has throughout his career shown a high esteem for the Blues and Soul men of the past. The homages to the likes of Robert Johnson and Otis Redding were often well visible on the surface. Not only on his own records but also in the collaborations he has chosen. At the end of a nine month European tour, Ben Harper & the Innocent Criminals went to a studio in Paris and completed their new album, Lifeline, in just seven days. The result: a soulful masterpiece with beautifully direct lyrics and undeniable grooves. No computers used. Just straight up good music. It’s no surprise that most bands today don’t record albums live, straight to tape, in one room, no Pro Tools, no auto-tune. There are only a handful of modern artists that can pull it of

We've all heard horror stories about being stranded sans a cellphone (or a signal), and while we doubt the majority of you break out into the wilderness on a regular basis, a little peace of mind for when you do won't hurt. SPOT Inc. has introduced the simply-titled SPOT, which operates as a personal GPS-enabled tracking device to inform relatives, friends, and emergency personnel of your status. Among the features are a 911 button that automatically calls in help and gives them your exact location, an Ask for Help button that beams up friends / family, a Check In selection that informs contacts that you're a-okay, and a Track Progress option that sends your location to a Google Map that relatives can monitor. The unit itself is powered by a pair of AA cells, weighs just seven-ounces, floats on water, and is rugged enough to handle most any encounter. Price wise, the SPOT will run you $149.99 along with a $99 'service fee,' but monthly and multi-year options will purportedly be av

Abstract: Despite attempts to raise awareness of mental health problems in China, the situation remains grave with very few of the country’s 20 million mentally disabled having access to appropriate healthcare. Private care centers, such as the Hui Ling network, have provided an opportunity for mentally ill from all backgrounds to receive badly-needed treatment and social rehabilitation.When studying a timeline of mental health care in China, one could be forgiven for assuming the outlook was bleak. Government reports and private studies both confirm that a growing number of Chinese people suffer from mental disabilities and that most of them do not have access to adequate health care and treatment. In big cities like Beijing or Shanghai where awareness of these problems is on the rise, a lack of trained professionals impairs many health institutions’ abilities to treat or even diagnose mental ailments, many of which remain relatively unknown in China. In rural areas, the prognosis

SHIVNARINE Chanderpaul has made the most of being dropped by Monty Panesar to give West Indies hope of a record-breaking win in the third Test with England at Old Trafford. At stumps on the fourth day West Indies, looking to level the four-match series at 1-1, was 5-301, needing a further 154 runs to reach a victory target of 455 in a minimum of 90 overs tonight (AEST). Chanderpaul, reprieved on 18, is 81 not out after more than four hours at the crease following his first innings 50. Denesh Ramdin, dropped by wicketkeeper Matthew Prior on four, is unbeaten on 26. Panesar, who 4-50 in the first innings, tried to atone by removing Runako Morton and Dwayne Bravo on his way to figures of 3-87. It is not the first time experienced left hander Chanderpaul, now in his 103rd Test, had played a key role in a large run chase. In May 2003 he made 104 when West Indies scored a Test record, fourth innings winning total of 7-418 against Australia in Antigua. West Indies started today

Even if you're not pro-life, this is an issue of giving people from both sides of the abortion debate the resources and credibility as an official club so they can encourage positive dialogue. Shutting them down is an injustice and cowardly on the part of the pro-abortionists.
