10 year old blows all away 2008-04-20 11:43:01 I was surfing around this morning and ran across this video of this cute little Swedish girl, Zara Larrson, who blows everyone away with her amazing voice in this talent search.

Giving - Power Quotes Series 2008-04-23 09:28:36 This might be one of the most powerful things that any person can possess. It is GIVING. I see this characteristic practiced the most at the holiday times which leaves me to wonder where it goes for the other 11 months? In my opinion, this is something that you should practice every day. Giving
in the right spirit is returned to you 100 fold. If it is no more than giving of your time or maybe it is giving your neighbor a lift down the road, or maybe it is helping your colleague out with something they do not understand. Giving is the easiest thing to do. And what baffles me is when I hear someone say they do not have time to give.I hope that you find something here that will help you or inspire you today.

Who handles your event planning 2008-04-24 15:02:59 A few years ago, I had the pleasure of attending a corporate sponsored event
. When I arrived, everything was planned out to a "t" for us and we had it all. Whether it was the quest speakers, or the music each night, or the events during the day, this event was planned out.

Braves Baseball 2008-05-08 17:23:00 Can any team be hotter than the Atlanta Braves
? With Chipper Jones and Manny Acosta providing the power in hitting and closing, the Braves are on a roll like you have never seen before. As for the pitching, the Braves have currently on the DL Mike Gonzalez, Mike Hampton, Anthony Lerew, Peter Moylan, John Smoltz, Rafael Soriano. These 6 pitchers were figured in to be big parts of the plans this year. The Braves have enjoyed success on the most recent home stand but it still seems like it is all for naught as they still remain 3rd in their division. There are 2 division that have this tight of a race. The other is in the American League Central where the spread is only 3 games. Of course, there is a lot of baseball left to play and you never know where that might leave our great superstars o

Identity theft tops the Federal Trade Commission's complaint list 2008-05-07 22:20:41 I hate when I talk to people and hear that they have become a victim of identity theft
. Problem is, it is becoming more common a problem. In our business of lending people money for the purchase of the American dream, homeownership, this is one of the evils that sometimes stands in the way of getting that task done. Lifelock is a great website that helps you guarantee your good name.
One might even suggest that they not have to be subjected to protecting their good name or spending money to do just that. I would say to that person, spend a day in the life of a person that has fallen victim to identity theft and you will understand why it can be so important.
People need to wake up and take precaution to protect what is there. Your good credit can be the lure that it takes to attract the Read more:Federal

Kiss the Rain. 2008-05-07 20:02:53 Enjoy the music as you read this post. Well, I have just one thing to say at this moment. I’m back. And Frankly, I have missed this place and missed all the friends that I have made here. I have to say thank you for all the emails and the calls that I have received. I guess you never really never know what kind of impact that you have had on a place or the people in that place until you are away for some time. I had to spend that time away and I am back now, refreshed because I have been standing in the rain silent and I missed the interaction that this forum gives me. Making the move to Tennessee and getting this branch set up and running has been a task that was overwhelming and taxing to me and to the people that I am constantly around. All that is behind us now and we are moving fo

Road Woes Continue 2008-05-11 10:09:41 The Atlanta Braves enjoy the confines of Turner Field this year. This is something that they could not say last year. Currently leading the majors with a 14 - 4 home stand record, the Atlanta Braves could be enjoying success if they could just figure out how to win on the road. With an almost identically backwards record on the road of 4 - 13, it does not take one long to figure why these guys are not on top. Soon, and very soon, they will figure it out and then and only then will teams fear the day that the Atlanta Braves come to town.
After last nights fall apart from what started out to be another great game with Mark Teixeira hitting his 5th home run into the left field bleachers. The Braves jumped out to a 2 - 0 lead that would seem to be enough until the 4th inning where Chuck James Read more:Continue

Honesty - Power Quotes Series 2008-05-16 09:50:14 I have come across a lot of loan officers in my time that do not practice this with their customers. The outcome is devastating when they arrive to the closing table and what was told to the customer is not what is on the paperwork. To me, it makes no sense why you need to lie to your customers to get them to do a deal. Problem is this; this is not just a problem in the loan officer world.
