Qualified for the job or position but you don't get hired because you're deaf or hard of hearing? What is wrong with hearing people that they just don't get it? Deaf & hard of hearing people need an income too!

EeBay’s latest ad campaign includes promoting the eBay Green Team by pointing out how environmentally kind and ethical wearing previously owned clothing is: The greenest product is the one that already exists.
The facts presented in the promotion may be new, but the principal probably isn’t news to vintage fashion lovers & those who are generally thrifty. The question is, do you think this will change buying habits?
What will the future hold for Tea Party revolutionaries, militia members, and Oath Keepers, for people opting out of the culture in ever-increasing numbers, once the Revolution ends? It’s unlikely that the future will be as kind to them as it was to the peace-and-love revolutionaries of the 1960s, who lived in a kinder, more permissive world, one with greater career opportunities and a stronger social safety net.
Forget everything you know about how to motivate people - whether at work, at school, at home. According to Daniel H. Pink, the author of the New York Time's bestselling book Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us, we've got it all wrong.

This blog post is largely a pro/con list concerning gaining a graduate degree or avoiding debt. Mull it over with me, will you? I've got to figure out what I'm going to do fairly soon because I need to register for classes this month, but I'd appreciate any thoughts, advice, related articles, or your personal experience with this issue!
This article has sparked a lot of debate, perhaps due to its controversial nature. Nevertheless, I thought it might be interesting to share and hopefully you find it buzzworthy. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the matter!
These are the corporate-minded gatekeepers who block your every effort to maneuver around them and get across the bridge. This is occasionally done maliciously and without conscience, but frequently the blockade is enforced without the Troll consciously comprehending that it is ‘the hold up’, standing in the way and blocking all passage to the other side....
There are few words to accurately describe the vibrant hum of Manhattan during the holiday season and this year was no exception, global economic collapse and all.
We’re not sure what’s worse – having to learn about something we never thought we needed to know, or coming to grips with the verifiable truth that our private pursuits are being systematically archived for future use against us.
We had a dream……and in that dream we saw Greed standing alone in front of the panoramic window of his imperial penthouse suite perched near the top of The Palm Hotel-Atlantis in Dubai. He gazed out at the glistening Persian Gulf with disconsolation, and tried to shake off the gnawing irritation he felt at the fact that the only palm frond island he could see from his luxurious living room was the Palm Jumeirah. ...
SO much is going on in our world today. As a woman, a mother I am completely overwhelmed. I kind of just let loose on some things that I think are so very wrong with society today. It is a dark observation, and I am sure I will have some who completely disagree with my opinions, but then, discussion cannot be one sided. It would be quite boring if it was. So please read my post and tell me what you think. Perhaps you have a positive outlook on what is happening or have seen glimmers of hope that I have not been blessed to see? Please share your insights with me and in turn our readers.
With all the chaos around the Mediterranean, from financial problems in Greece to revolutions in Libya, I thought it was time we look past the individual nations and look at the region as a whole. This article is (will be) a multi-day "voyage" around the Med looking at all of the players and what the future may hold for relations between the nations and the United States.
You get more bang for your buck. You get information tailor made to your interests and if you are adventurous you can add a few 'interests' outside your comfort zone.
But beware, it's addicting, but not in the Facebook way. No passive aggressive comments, no link after link or share after share of the same old thing. But fresh eye candy, good commentary and informative news, art and design blogs.
I love it, just wondering why it took me so long to find it.
There are those that believe that just because you aren’t going to work at a job every day, unemployment is like an unpaid vacation. This perception is very very wrong. First of all, when you are unemployed you are never really off work. You must be ever at the ready, in case something comes up. In addition, a formal job search can take up to forty hours a week. Vacations are fun, exciting, and sometimes expensive. Unemployment is miserable, demoralizing, ans always expensive.
Nationwide budgets are tightening. As the state governments look around at what to cut the resounding chorus of legistlative voices say school finance budgets. School districts and law makers alike are locked into a battle for the future of our school children.
Do we allow the under financing of the poorer districts and ignore those children of immigrants? If we sit by silently than we are allowing for the building of the new American caste system.
Egypt’s cultural heritage is at risk. The current unrest only underscores its vulnerability. While our concern must first focus on restoring security and stability for the people, we must protect Egypt's cultural heritage because information lost to looting can never be replaced.
Until order is restored, we believe that if the demand for Egyptian antiquities is curtailed, if not stopped, the loss of Egypt's cultural patrimony during this tumultuous time would be curbed. What do you think?
The Obama administration’s response to the freedom protests on the streets of Cairo and throughout Egypt—a pained silence, followed by a limp plea for order to be restored on all sides—tells you all you need to know about America’s real intentions in the region. “Democracy” is the gaily colored Christmas paper wrapping the hammer that the US uses on dictatorships that step out of line. Membership in the Axis of Evil usually means you’ve done something to piss off the American Chamber of Commerce. Meanwhile, the US defense budget balloons ever larger.

I've written a downloadable book for the urban scavenger, Secondhand Shabby.
In an age of big box design, Secondhand Shabby can help anyone create furniture and accessories with personal meaning and style, that are fun to do and live with.
Is it really necessary to keep the glass full or are restaurants taking customer service too far? This standard procedure is blatantly wasteful. We could feed small nations with the wasted food and drink generated by US restaurant industry.
One of the ideas I've brought up to help raise money for schools is collecting box tops for education and campbells soup labels for education. Most people buy these products on a regular basis anyway, how hard is it really to take the extra minute and remove the label or box top and put it to the side? How hard is it make one day a year were the person then takes it to their local school? Why does it seem so hard for people to do this? Do they not know about it? Don't they want to help?
