Here's an article and interview with the boy's mother. Just a simple series of bad decisions we humans make. The woman who came to Steve's aid said that he asked if the child was okay before he lost consciousness. Can we please focus some positive energy on this subject for Steve's recovery...
Would you believe Rodgers & Hammerstein's "South Pacific"? WWII backdrop for American navy personnel in Polynesia and dealing with conflicted feelings about how they feel about the exotic people of the islands, including a Frenchman with mixed race children. The young lieutenant in the clip...
It is very easy to label someone who is different or looks different or thinks differently from one's self. It is a way to brand a group or a person as "the other", something that I learned about in a documentary on the history of propaganda (in the context of wars and lead up to a war). Once...
I think you all are feeling for Steve due to the importance for him to be healthy to support his family, and so do I as do a huge number of people who find this attack to be outrageous and uncalled for. Not just firemen nor policemen share that kind of brother (sister) hood when one of their...
Jonathan,
I had a quick look, and it is a very, very good first effort--clean with a lot of white space to rest the eyes, great logo and tag line! I believe you use Weebly, which is a good way to ease into websites. I didn't go into it in great detail but there was one typo that stood out...
Hi Royce,
If you'd like, I can have a look at your website and talk with you about some other internet-based marketing options you might want to look into. I'm next door in Rhode Island (lived in Massachusetts over 30 years--I looked at your profile on the Buzz). Is it possible for you to...
Detroit's East Side has been the hot zone for a lot of the area's crime, lot of gang violence. Did some quick research just now. The inner-city African American community (like that in my home town of Flint) didn't have much luck in getting the good auto jobs in GM-Ford-Chrysler's heyday and...
TMI. TMI.
And I think Canadian--remember, we Yanks are the ones with the odd spellings, the rest of the English-speaking world write "tyre" and "colour" and "recognise".
Attach is from TCIA. Maybe when you're asked to come talk with a prospect about a job, you can open with the compliment that you're impressed that they are contacting you because they are being smart about how important it is to have the job done right and they expect you are providing them...
Quarter horse? Interesting. I would think he wouldn't have the best temperament for draft horse work. Bred more for speed and turning on a dime (preferred choice for polo ponies, I learned) so more of a rodeo horse and cattle driving.
Chuck,
I doubt he knows himself, however Torrisdale Castle is probably a good place to ask. Duncan's a good friend of the laird of the Castle (seriously) and I can ask him to ask the laird about this. I can PM you when I get an answer.
