It seems that all of the night shift was unable to work for one reason or another. That’s when I had to take action</p>
<p>I called for replacements but no one seemed to be available. I stayed on until some people finally decided to show up. I am glad to be home but tomorrow is sure to be another busy day. I hope I am up for the challenge.</p>

<p>They are proposing a 731 mile pipeline from their oil sands to the coast in order to easily deliver their gas to China. I certainly wish that the Obama administration could have worked out a deal with Canada so that we could have their gas. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since I am rising up in status at my job, I am taking on more and more tasks. It seems that the higher I go the more things appear on my desk. I don’t mind that so much as long as the compensation rises with it. That has been happening so far. One thing I have noticed lately is that we need more exposure to the public. It seems that nobody knows who we are or what we do. I wanted to change that if I could.</p>
<p>I looked into some of the various ways that we could advertise. The newspapers were one way and maybe a few radio spots would help as well. As I looked into the situation farther, I realized that I would not have time to keep up with all these things. That’s when I came up with the idea of using an <a href="http://www.thatadvertisingagency.com/">Advertising Agency</a> to do this work for me. After all, it’s good to let the experts do your job whenever possible. </p>
<p>I think I have come to a great conclusion. I will hire some people who can assist us with getting our name known. Though we may have to spend a little money to start with, the pay off will be big in the end. I believe that those who are higher up in my company will agree with my ideas. I certainly hope that they will as our company needs to grow. I believe that using this strategy will help us do just that. I guess we’ll just have to see if I am right or not. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am sure that many people who are my age remember the T.V show called Lost in Space. I spent many hours watching the show and still love it till this day. Anyway, I was saddened to hear that one of the key players in the show died today. His name was Dick Tufeld and he was the voice of the robot.</p>
<p>Dicks most famous line was when he said “Danger, Will Robinson!” it became one of the best catch phrases ever. Dick was 85 and started a new adventure this week when he died at his home. Goodbye Dick.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One thing that nearly every sports fan on the losing end of a game has said is that the refs ripped them off. I have said this many times myself. A bad call in a critical situation has caused many teams to win or lose a game that was important to them.</p>
<p>That’s why the NFL is looking into the situation and is looking for ways to improve rule enforcement during the games. They are beginning to hire former referees to critique the current officials and to find ways to make the games fair for everyone. I say it’s about time!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This year I was desperately trying to make some new years resolutions. I really plan to try to keep the ones I made. I want to lose some weight and so I have made a promise to myself that I will spend more time at the gym. </p>
<p>Another resolution I made was to change my driving habits. I know that I have using my cell phone while driving and that this is a dangerous practice. From  now on, I will take my calls only when I have reached my destination or are in a safe place to talk. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Christmas tree is finally on the curb. It took us a while to get rid of it but you know how I tend to procrastinate. It took a lot of effort to get the tree into shape, but it has served its purpose and we are done with it for this year. </p>
<p>I feel that it is time to move on to other things. There are birthdays coming up and I have a lot to look forward to. Now that the holiday season is over, it is good to be done with it. For all those who still have their tree up, I say its time to take it down.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The article written by Alonso Kramer</p>
<p>My sister owes me BIG! I spent all weekend helping her move into her new home. Like everything else, she was ready to buy a house at just the opportune time for a buyer. She got a huge house, in a super nice neighborhood for such a reasonable price it wasn&#8217;t even funny. My sister always has the best luck! She could pick random numbers and play the lottery and probably hit the jackpot on her first try. That&#8217;s just how she rolls. We all joke about it but it&#8217;s so true. So she found this steal of a house, bought it and moved in (with a whole lot of help from yours truly). Since she&#8217;s living by herself, she asked me to research <a href="http://www.securitychoice.com/adt-security-systems/District-of-Columbia/W/Washington-Security-Systems.html">HOME Security systems DC</a> for her. She wants peace of mind and a better feeling of safety. She&#8217;s all set up now and called to thank me for all my help earlier tonight. She&#8217;s welcome, but she still owes me big. I&#8217;ll let her pay me back sometime! I&#8217;m a nice sister like that!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>  Chestnuts and open fires. Jack Frost is not yet nipping at our nose. While many people look forward to the snow and cold weather if not just on Christmas day, we haven’t received any cold weather as of yet. It would seem as though Jack Frost is on vacation.</p>
<p>    For some reason, at this time of year, the hustle and bustle just doesn’t seem to be such a nuisance. As a matter of fact, it’s a little more welcomed. Hearts are open and full of good cheer.                                                                                                                                                                                     </p>

<p> But Christmas music, also known as yuletide carols passed down through many generations just add so much to the sprit of Christmas. Mostly if there is music in the air there is music in the heart. So in the spirit of Christmas, keep a song in your heart.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the Rhine river of Germany, a remnant of the past lay waiting to destroy the future. A 1.8 ton British bomb that had been dropped in World War 2 lay unexploded. This caused a risk to all the citizens of Koblenz, a city in Western Germany. It was successfully defused on Sunday by a team of experts. </p>
<p>The discovery was due to low water levels in the Rhine due to a lack of rain. The finding of the bomb led to an evacuation of nearly 45,000 citizens who left their homes early Sunday morning while the bomb was dismantled. Everyone is now back in their homes and feeling a little better about the future.   </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have seen many things in my life. One thing that has always surprised me is the way that people can be identified by the way they dress. Whenever I go out, I tend to notice what people are wearing and enjoy trying to figure out what they do for a living. It’s a fun game to me but sometimes I get surprised. This happened to me the other day at the store while I was standing in line.</p>
<p>A nice lady was wearing some clothes that she said she bought from a site called <a href="http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/Scrubs/Scrubs-for-Women/Original-Scrubs/">http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/Scrubs/Scrubs-for-Women/Original-Scrubs/</a>. She looked like someone who might work in a hospital to some people, but I thought she was something different. I guess I was way off that day and could not figure out what she did while at work. </p>
<p>After we talked for awhile, everything was revealed. She said she was wearing <a href="http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/Scrubs/Scrubs-for-Women/Original-Scrubs/">nurses scrub uniforms</a> that she had bought off the internet. She could not believe that I didn’t know right off that she worked in a hospital. We both laughed at the way things turned out. I guess I am not always right and it certainly is humbling sometimes. I guess it’s just the way things go when you’re having an off day. </p>

Since I do not have a specific item to buy in mind, I thought I would just wait until I needed something.</p>
<p>I did go out for a minute, but when I saw how crowded the mall was, I changed my mind and went home. I think I’ll enjoy my time here better than fighting with other shoppers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since I have this weekend off from work, I thought I would do a little shopping. I know that the malls are full because it is black Friday, but I thought I might be able to find some deals. I went off with high hopes toward the mall. When I got there, I found it was a madhouse. There were people everywhere and I could hardly find a place to park. As I was walking in, I met some people who were coming out. They told me that I should not even bother to go inside.</p>
<p>They said the mall was packed and that the lines were very long to check out. I knew right then that I was wasting my time. I decided to go home and take my chances on the internet. When I arrived home, I went online and started to check out some different sites. I finally found a site I liked and started doing some serious shopping. That’s when I found a <a href="http://www.aeropostale.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=11327010&#038;cp=3534618.3534619.3534624.3542203.3536103">hoodie</a> that I really liked.</p>
<p>The price was good and I thought I would order it. After all, why should I go out get something when I can have it delivered to my home. I turned on the T.V. and thought about how much better my time was spent that fighting the traffic and the crowds.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While many states have been suffering the effects of the bad economy, some states are doing well. The state of Alaska has actually enjoyed a surplus this year and has plans to expand their roads and bridges. Another state that is doing well is West Virginia. They are paying back some of the money they have borrowed before.</p>
<p>I believe that as a whole, America is still a strong nation. When one state suffers, another will come shining through. This is what makes America great and I believe in its people. I hope everyone else does too. </p>
