My LeNiche Downward Spiral

Lloyds Apple

Not the Whole Truth

While our web endeavors have been a good time I'm still finding myself
needing a J.O.B. It's not that we won't or aren't making money, just
that if I want to live the high life my ass needs a job. I've got a 3rd
interview with a web company coming up just 2.4 miles from where I'm
currently living. A presentation will be made, then an offer will be
made.

What I bring to the Table-Lots and Lots of Emotional Baggage

First 'le niche' Article Published

I've been working on an article about Kiva.org for a couple of days, as something to use for a portfolio. I think the topic is extremely ineresting, and I want to rewrite it for a variety of audiences. The one I posted today is intended for a general, web-saavy audience. I want to write another for a parenting audience, with the goal of using Kiva as a tool for teaching charitym, geography, etc. to children.

Destruction of Churches

You don�t hear much in the news about it anymore. It still has many unsolved problems and we still have troops there. The place is Kosovo. The conflict between Serbians and Albanians in Kosovo has not been resolved. The UN and NATO still have a presence in the region but that is not entirely what this article is about.

It is about the destruction of churches that has taken place in Kosov [...]

Freedom

Paladin

Freedom and liberty what do those words mean? Are there universally understood and excepted meanings for these words? The dictionary defines freedom as the condition of being free from restraints and the capacity to exercise free choice. Liberty is defined as the right and power to act, believe, and express oneself in the manner of their own choosing. It is also being physically and legally free from confinement, servitude, or forced labor. Liberty is joined with freedom to also mean being wit [...]

Impossible dream

The book Don Quixote was written in the 1600's by Miguel de Cervantes. In more recent times it became a musical called Man of La Mancha.

In prison as he tells his story he is dubbed the knight of woeful countenance. From Quixote we derived the word quixotic, meaning extravagantly chivalrous and romantically idealistic.{mosloadposition adsense}

Who Am I?

Ninigurl

Who I am? An American Woman first and foremost. Someone who believes in Freedom of Choice and that ALL killing is wrong whether necessary or not! A hypocrite I am not. I do not run from criticism and will give explanation rather than excuses. I admit when I am truly wrong, apologize and try to make up for my mistakes good and bad! Remembering Karma and that what goes around comes around is very important. I am in no way Left or Right rather Middle of the Road! Far too many bad [...]
