Further Your Education

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

Everybody knows that getting a degree will help you when it comes time to get a job. The higher the degree, the more you are likely to make. With the advent of the online degree from an accredited university like Columbia Southern University now is a great time to get started. This being the case, what is stopping you from advancing your career by furthering your education?

Maybe you think you don’t need to. With more and more people attending college and getting the degree you don’t have, the job market is becoming more competitive. Even having a Bachelor’s degree doesn’t mean you will stand out from the crown anymore. (Columbia Southern offers Masters and even Doctoral degrees.)

Maybe you think you can’t afford it. Look at what you are making now and find out how much you could be making if you had a higher degree. Multiply the difference by however many years you plan on staying at your job or in your field and that will tell you how much you can’t afford NOT to do it. (And Columbia Southern offers financial aid.)

Maybe you think you haven’t got the time. Remember we’re talking about an online degree. You can attend class in your free time and sacrificing a little free time now will earn you the degree you need to get ahead.

The whole process starts with an attitude that doesn’t say ‘I can’t’ even before you see if you can.

Technical Difficulty

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

I just found out that it’s impossible to post a comment on this blog right now.  Impossible, that is, unless you are the administrator, which I am.  Therefore, just to keep things fresh until we can get that glitch figured out I am going to start posting comments on my own blog posts.

I will be honest and insightful and will include my usual witty inner monologue gone crazy style to entertain you all until you can once again thrill me with your own remarks.

Thank you for your time and attention,

Fantasy Baseball

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

Being in a fantasy baseball league of any kind requires that you be able to keep on top of baseball current events especially as they relate to the players on your team. Who’s injured and needs to be dumped? Who can you trade to improve your team? Is that player in a short slump or is it time for you to get them off the team? All this and more needs to be addressed if you are hoping to be the winner in your league. Baseball teams have many people who put their minds together to come up with the answers to these questions, but in a fanatasy baseball league you have only yourself to rely on and for most of us that would require too much time.

That’s why so many people use computer programs like the Fantasy Sports Prophet’s Fantasy Baseball software to help them. This particular program uses modeling to produce player rankings, artificial intelligence to help with your season’s roster management and allows you access from anywhere via the web. You can drink a beer at the bar (or sip coffee at Starbucks if you prefer) while tending to your team.

Of course if you’re not interested getting the pool of money that so many leagues offer to the winner, go it alone. If you enjoy the inevitable taunts of the person you let win, pass this by. But if you want the bragging rights and everything that goes with it, consider using this tool. Enter code BMC200 at the checkout for the $10 off special.

Live Perpetually in Spring

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

Sunday was bitterly cold snap after a lovely trend of days of warm.  I actually had to turn the heater back on when it got down to 67 inside.  Thank goodness it’s warming back up.  I got used to not shivering in bed.

Now the trick is to get it to stay this way.  I don’t want to have to deal with any of this 100 degree junk.  I need it to stay just warm enough to keep the heater off and just cool enough to leave the cooler off too.  It’s what I hope for every year and I just know this is the year it’s going to happen.  We will stop and live perpetually in spring.
