Roger Ebert's Website

I like movies. I watched Siskel & Ebert for years with friends before Gene Siskel passed away.
If you like movies, you'll probably like Roger Ebert's site as well as Ebert & Roeper's reviews when you catch them on TV. Same goes for their reviews on the net. Every once in a while I strongly disagree. I still remember wondering what Siskel & Ebert were smoking when they gave two thumbs up to Kingpin. Probably the same thing that Time Warner was smoking when they merged as equals with AOL.

Are You An Adult Who Wants To Benefit Military Families?

Please do not visit this site if you are easily offended. As I read it, the site says that all profits will be donated to a fund supporting comfort homes where military families stay while their loved ones undergo medical treatment.

Blogging Since Compassionate Communication

Before Christ. That's how most people view B.C. when they see 40 B.C. I remember the first time I heard B.C.E when I saw Abba Eben on PBS. Being Christian and not as academic as I thought, I was not familiar with "Before The Christian Era" nor Abba Eben, the late former Israeli Foreign Minister.

I have experienced watershed events in my life before such as the death of both parents and a young niece, to name a few. I even remember being three or four and a neighborhood kid explaining to me that we die. That was an amazing realization. I have had some really positive watershed events like a personal saving relationship with Christ, getting married, the birth of my son and going through the personal growth [or personal development, if you prefer] work of Fran Cannon of Cannon Business Institute and his former partner, Michael Griffin.

As a Toastmaster, I am familiar with spoken communication.

Yet I was unfamiliar with Compassionate or Nonviolent Communication. My personal preference is for the term Compassionate Communication. Compassionate Communication is a watershed in communication and personal development for me. From now on I'll be blogging A.C.C. - After Compassionate Communication. I highly recommend Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life: Create Your Life, Your Relationships, and Your World in Harmony with Your Values.
