Photo Credit:Sam MugrabyOne of the things you learn when you are running your own home-based business is that you usually work way more than forty hours a week. Working from home, wearing all the hats of your company entail many hours. Yet it is more satisfying because it is your's. Working for someone else is never what we think it will be. I always remember how you just can't wait to get that job! You do everything you can to win it and you talk about it all the time. When you get that job........... w... read more »
In the Mood for Lovefirst seen @ Angelika Film Center, New York, NY2000I've been to lots of other art-house theaters in New York and beyond, but the Angelika Film Center is where I got an education on independent film, particularly during the mid-to-late 90s. I first heard about the place through an article in the paper about it.

On Sunday, I tweeted this linkfrom the US Unemployed Blogsite, "No News But Speculation-So Why Say Anything." The gist of the post stated there is nothing new with no legislation scheduled; so if you can't say anything good.... I cannot dispute the fact about legislation nor the prayers for full employment by Labor Day; I agree 100%. None the less the editor did not address the positive things that happened in August. Maybe there is something to hope for.Before I continue I must offer this disclaimer: Fo... read more »
Last week I received an email from UCubed, an unemployed advocacy group. Along with other groups, they do a great job supporting and organizing to the unemployed. If you have not yet joined (free), please do. The email presented a challenge for me, one that I have not resolved.The email was about an Internet ad that will appear after Labor Day but more importantly the email asked for my personal commitment to vote this November. I received a similar request from Organizing for America. Normally I feel no... read more »

With so many people out there in possession of an Apple-made device – iPhones of various generations, and now iPads – it would behoove us to examine just what it is that makes Apple tick. Millions of people have iPhones, and tens of millions want them. Why? In a recent U.S. poll I read, no [...] read more »
