    This is London Olympics are a big fiasco. Earlier olympics perhaps were much stricter, the london olympics seems lenient in rules and gameplay. The results seem 'instant' rather than testing endurance, the games are of skills and performances. The arena seems too small than usual. Like many games seem totally childish. Before i write about my own personal visions i would like to point out many flaws in this years london olympics. A) The 100meter seems is just 75 meter in actual length so many athletes are just casual jogging rather than putting real effort. B) In shot put event the weight is half than what is showcased, i.e. 4 kg in womens category is infact just 1.7kg…

  7. Just found out today that my company, that I have worked for for 24 years, is closing my facility in two months. "A tough business decision". Where is the loyality, the dedication, the intrinsic value? How does one transition from a team member, who has taken a thousand punches for his company, taken responsibility for a thousand problems, solved a thousand problems, sweated and worried and fretted over meeting deadlines, doing a good job and doing the right thing for his workmates, bosses, department, customers and company, for 24 years, to being a duplicate "skillset"? Me thinks they know not what they do. I will not mention the company. It's still my co…

    A good acquaintence and I were golf partners at Ford for a few years. He was from India, also Sikh and a gentleman. He didn't drink, smoke or swear, I swear! A good honest hard working electrician who came to the job each day with a turbin wound around his head and his beard in a hair net. I partnered with him for about 4 years and never once was expected to do more than my share. I even went with him to his Temple once, explaining that I wanted to compare the difference between his religion and western theology. Oh yes! I've been in several churches of different denominations on occasion for the same reason. My question is, how can one person hate another person without …

  15. I'm a bio major (pre-med) and my grades are really terrible. I have a .89 gpa for my major and a 2.22 overall. I admit, i have been fooling around and partying, but at times when I did cut down on the tom-foolery and decided to take work serious, i noticed that I was overwhelmed / struggled. my math and science skills aren't that strong so that explains the struggles. I'm also wondering if I'm in the correct major for me. yes, i do like the sciences and I'm interested, but w/ my poor skills, i'm really struggling and my grades aren't good for med school. to help narrow things down: - i like to work w/ my hands (build, fix things, etc., thus I was considering surgery…
