Quote of the Week: Raymond Williams

” The basic principle of democracy is that since all are full members of society, all have the right to speak as they wish or find. This is not only an individual right, but a social need, since democracy depends on the active participation and the free contribution of all its members. The right to receive is complementary to this: it is the means of participation and of common discussion

How Are You Developing Future Leaders?

“Your old road is rapidly aging,” Bob Dylan proclaimed to the powers that be in 1964. “Please get out of the new one if you can’t lend your hand.” Recent experiences have left me thinking often of that now-iconic line over the past few days; in this post, I want to encourage you to think about whether you are either standing in the way or offering a hand to those coming after you

Dear Friends and Gardeners: June 14, 2010

Dear Dee and Mary Ann and Gardening Friends Everywhere, Greetings! As I write this letter, I smell the distinctive, strong scent of my night bloomer, Epiphyllum oxypetalum, which bloomed this evening for me. I’ve been so busy outside that I just noticed the flower bud a few days ago, and then this evening I decided to check to see if it was getting close to blooming, and there was the flower.

I Quit My Day Job…Now A Full Time Home Business Owner

I am a part time full time Internet Home Business owner I always wondered what it would be like to write a post like this having seen quite a few of my blogger friends do it, albeit with different circumstances.  Yes June 3, 2010 became an important date to remember for me, much like if it’s your birthday, wedding day, your children’s birth dates etc. It was the day after my last day at the bank I worked for the last 3 1/2 years

5 Starting Points for Building an Information System

I’ve never met a freelance writer who wasn’t at least a little bit of an injo-junkie. Whether it’s jotting down names and numbers in the line at the supermarket when you find someone who could be a great source or spending hours online reading web pages and copying great lines for your swipe file, a good freelance writer is always collecting notes and new ideas. Of course, if you don’t have some sort of system for managing all of that information, all of those notes could turn into a problem, rather than the resource they should be

Wop Bop Torledo – Jungle Fever (1989)

1989! This track is over 20 years old, which – I suppose – is like living in the era of the Beach Boys and listening to the Charleston. Whatever. Wop Bop Torledo were Maryanne Morgan and Gary Stoner and they didn’t last very long (a couple of singles and one failure of an album apparently)
