I found this today and thought it was pretty creative. Stick with it and then view the cheat sheet to answer any questions that arise.



From the creator:

Before the film was penned, I was imagining a history of ALL conflict. I quickly realized that it would not only take forever to do that, but I had no idea what ancient Egyptians where eating. So I narrowed the scope to American-centric conflict...with a dash of Israeli interest in there, from WWII on. From a production standpoint, these parameters seemed feasable. I kept it as simple as possible and in doing so, as many of you have pointed out, there are countries that don't get a proper say...and to that, I apologize.

Hello All -

It has been a wild past few months. As some of you know, I have relocated (surprise) to Asheville, NC.



I began a new position here a couple of weeks ago and am enjoying it. Asheville is a beautiful city nestled in the mountains. It is small--73,000ish people--but very progressive.

Be sure to read up on it, Wikipedia - Asheville, NC.

I promise that I will get back to regular blogging. Now that things are settling down I will make a better effort.

Cheers

I finally got it, after six months of waiting Dallas Season Eight has been released on DVD. Thanks to a gift certificate from my sister I got it for $1.34.

Season Eight is a big deal for Dallas fans as Barbara Bel Geddes is replaced for one season by Donna Reed.

I will let you know when I finish.



They only release two seasons a year, and with 13 seasons all together it is quite a commitment.

I take great pride in knowing where all the States are on a map, their capitals, etc. It started at an early age learning to list them all alphabetically. See how you do on this quiz.

Try some of their other quizzes too. I like the State Capitals. I am such a nerd, it hurts.

Very funny commentary on the web and its various communities. This is not safe for work.

Not Grandparent Approved - Sorry Mumbie and Dandy.

Heinz knew his Christmas dinner was over when he returned from the restroom and Hitler had stolen his seat.

I am a a fan of 30 Rock on NBC and saw these videos today done by Jack McBrayer (Kenneth). He plays this role VERY well.

I have been running some figures while reviewing new contracts with clients and in my research found this chart.

Salary/Hourly Chart



It is always interesting to look at your income from multiple perspectives. Whether you are a salaried or hourly employee you need to know what those numbers equate to. What difference would an extra $1 and hour make in your daily, weekly, monthly or annual income?

This is a great tool to use when interviewing for a new job or asking for a raise. Sometimes those small increases can add up. Over a year an extra quarter an hour will gross you $520. That's a car payment for many people.
