Green Energy Sources – Where Do They Come From?
Published May 27, 2011 | 
Ever since machines were invented, the world has depended largely on fossil fuel as its main energy source. Coal, fuel and natural gas are examples of fossil fuel and they are called non-renewable energy mainly for the reason that they are derived from limited resources. Aside from being expensive due to its limited supply, fossil fuel is also hazardous to the environment.
It is for these reasons that much research has been done and is still being done to possible alternative energy resources. According to scientists, alternative or green energy is better as opposed to non-renewable energy because the resources from which these energies are derived from will never run out.
Aside from the fact that it can always be replenished, it has also been proven that energy that come from green energy resources produces little or no pollution at all. To help you understand the concept of renewable green resources better, here are some examples.

Leave a commentOur First Day Back to School
Published May 25, 2011 | All the dreading and worrying and wondering has been for nothing! Yay! Our first day back to school went wonderfully well!
We started out with a prayer that God would bless our day and help us listen and learn what He wanted us to. Then we did our “pledge of allegiance” to the American Flag and the Christian Flag. We don’t own those two flags yet, so I found images of them online and had the kids say their pledges to the computer image!
After that we all sat down at the “school” table and started on Bible. The oldest, a third grader, went off to do her own book work, while the three younger ones did a “classroom” style period. The youngest two listened in on the story portion and orally answered questions, while the second grader wrote down his answers and then did a little extra work after the younger two were dismissed.

Published May 18, 2011 | The popularity of for-profit colleges, e.g., Capella University, DeVry University and University of Phoenix may pose a conflicting dilemma for many parents. Some fear that their child may not receive a legitimate degree upon graduation. In this article, I will answer some common questions about these schools. I hope that with this additional information you will have the tools to help your child make the best decision for his or her education.
If for-profit colleges are often much more expensive and in some cases have bad reputations when compared to public universities, why are so many people enrolling?
There are three main reasons: advertising, customer service and fast degrees. Many of these schools are owned by large corporations with huge marketing budgets. As a result, they can use aggressive and expensive recruitment campaigns that utilize radio, flyers, side-walk sales agents, newspapers, public transportation and TV. Some pay internet search engines to be listed as first picks when people conduct searches. Some of the search phrases they have paid for are “top colleges”, “online colleges” and “top accredited schools.”

Published May 11, 2011 | Shopping at a department store the young woman (customer) had three pairs of pants, three sweaters, and a handbag in her shopping cart as she made her way to the fitting room. Upon reading the labels she wondered if the sweaters would shrink after washing. Hmm… maybe asking a store associate would help her decide if she should buy these three sweaters. She noticed a young lady in store uniform with her back to her, so she approached her, “Excuse me, could you tell me a little bit about this fabric?”
The young uniformed lady didn’t turn to answer.
“Excuse me!” the shopper repeated in a louder voice. The young lady still didn’t respond.
“How rude!” the shopper said out loud. The young uniformed assistant just continued about her business of pulling new inventory out of the box to get ready for pricing and hanging.
