Upon a Rainy Rainy Day I sat and pondered what I could do. There were birds to watch as the torrents fell down upon the ground in a green and muddy swell. The birds though wet prissed and strutted as they got one another's attention to eat and to mate and to build nests of soft and beautiful bits to raise their new to come babes within and rush and feed and seed them until they could fly. Everyone prissed and strutted the girls did dance about As the rolly polly insects crept upon the green and... Sign in to see full entry.

the sound of the television and traffic and screams and squeals of the kids. Get a nice hot cup of tea or coffee and sit out in the sun and watch what is happening around you on the earth. It is everywhere you look--the sun and blue sky, birds chirping and posturing to one another as they mate and begin building their annual nests for the spring. The doves quietly coo in the trees and wait for the sild bird seed to be sprinkled about the front yard for them to pick and peck through as they graze... Sign in to see full entry.

You know, it worries me what is happening on this earth as it becomes less and less healthy to breathe the air. And we are the ones who have made things this way. What is even worse is the fact for every green house gas and every drop of spilled oil thousands of small creatures have dies or become very sick. Some are on their way to becoming extinct. Yet, I look at my own neighborhood and the cute little critters living beside us. They were here before us. Squirrels, birds, frogs, turtles,... Sign in to see full entry.

It is a known fact that our future lies in our children. What we teach and the examples we give to them by which to live depends on us. Not the classroom by itself, but the world in generall teaches children everyday about crime, drugs and alcohol, what are the most important things in our society. We lead by example. One of the most important things in society now appears to be sports among many others. The world of football, basketball, golf, car racing, etc. We can pretty much tell this by...

Yes, the testing of brain function using instrument that I was trained to use while working 14 years in the field of neuropsychology and cognitive neuroscience. Sounds heady, but it is simply the use of the utmost in instruments for assessing the funcitons of memory in the brain of a child.

This article is a new twist from an old blog on news and politics, and from now on I will try to focus on education. I taught school in a large city school district for 1 6 years. It was an experience that held hope and at the same time smashed dreams. For the most part, it was a new adventure eveyday as to the goings on within the classroom. I never was aware of who was going to do what to whom in 3rd grade, but within 2 weeks of the first of school I would find out. From then on not much came... Sign in to see full entry.

What we are allowed to view by public tv stations is quite selective. Only exciting unreal events are pumped up to seem more than they really are. Have you asked yourself why? Well, it just is. Government does not want anyone to know of its errors. It will not apologive for them anyway. What one is led to think as the issues is saved for PBS, sort of, and other stations. But to get the low down, one needs to look at papers outside the USA and see what is being reported about Mr. Bush and our... Sign in to see full entry.

of studies when in World History one may recall that the Roman Empire did fall What caused that fall is simialr to what is happening in our government today. The Senate in the Roman Empire was giving way to bribes and making laws and changes accordingly to fulfill the bribe demands. How does this apply today? Well, look at the lobbyists for big corporations and individuals here and in other countries. It made the news last year. Large donations were made to help persuade Congressmen and Senators...

THE THOUGH T THAT IRAN IS TRYING TO BUILD WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION. WHIM WITH NO BASIS. I think its time to look into some personality features based on observations over the recent 5 years. We have a person in a powerful place who seems to have a narcissistic personality--well traits of having one. Let's look at the traits of narcissistic personality disorder from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual IV TR. Patterns of behavior indicate various things and one must have many observations in...

topic. You know, one would think by this time people of this planet could do more about having a peaceful planet. Yet I think about ego drive in the personality and realize that it is a major factor in how one perceives the world and how they often crave power. It seems that power is not really possible as one realizes that no matter what one does, we all ultimately end up in a graveyard, as ashes, or frozen in cryotech; but we are definitely not living forever no matter how much money or power...

obsesrve them through news, magazines, books, and appearances and compare what person says with what they carry out in their endeavors. When one thinks back through the events and promises for office of president, senator, and representative, and coompare what was said and what has been done along with their patterns of behavior, you may come up with some different angles to put together a profile of what that person in office is doing.

In the mid 1960-70 period, the United States had an anti-trust act to prevent the development of large conglomerant companiies that monopolized the prices of things in our country. It became so bad that these corporations were able to price fix everything they controlled. It did not matter if the item you purchased or the service you purchased was worth the amount charged. The monopolies ruled the world of the citizen. They controlled the markets. The phone company we termed "Maw Bell" was a... Sign in to see full entry.

Ah television! man's window to the world and how it vividly paints what's not so real. Remember those times when news would be interupted and you would see a clip about Ohsama ben laden? This is in the past year.They would show him in his white robes and with a long beard yammering away about something involving the infedels.
