       I am very lucky to have lived in an age where there was flower power ,peace ,and love..hippies and Rock & Roll Groups  like Jefferson Airplane ,Jimmy Hendrix and the Doors..I went to the Electric Factory when it was a small Club where you saw these Bands.. I was  planning to go to  Woodstock but missed my ride.Then it became a mega power force, and then everyday stuff..or I just grew up This week i was fortunate to have participated in REBar Camp.It took place right here in Philadelphia.What an amazing new wave age I am living in again.Technology the new Rock Stars of years gone by. I feel so exhilarated to be a part of this magical presence that is apon us..          I have drank the Google juice. Went to a Party with the Twitter Queens...and ACTIVE RAIN STAFF  Jeremy Blanton ....

    The Bob Woodruff Foundation, named for the ABC correspondent who was injured in 2006 by a roadside bomb in Iraq, is launching a fundraiser through the social media network Twitter.

The foundation, through its Tweet to Remind campaign, seeks to raise $1.65 million to help military men and women get assistance through a variety of services-from adaptive housing to psychological care-once they return from war.

                  THEY ARE HERE !  Part 2 I received a call asking for help from the History Channel......My receptionist Jane thought it was a prank call.When I called back it was not a prank caller it was the History Channel.. Well it was not..I thought they wanted to do some Historical documentary.. I when asked why they called me they said they googled and I came up! I was really surprised when they put me through to UFO HUNTERS...   Look around you they are in the area. They are filming and interviewing strange UFO sightings in the Philadelphia and Bucks County area. They are also going to be doing experiments on the ground. Testing it with blow torches to see how hot they can get it and to see if they can petrify the earth's soil..what does this mean??? I guess we will have to loo...

After a Saturday morning at the office I took a drive. There are beautiful tree lined roads in Torresdale the section of Phila. Pa. which boarders on Bensalem Bucks County.You don't even know you are out of the City of Phila.until you see "Welcome to Bensalem".You see all these historical signs.These were the country roads where our founding fathers traveled. They are paved city streets now . I wonder if they walked into town,traveled by horse, or maybe by boat.. There are a few of the original estates left along the Delaware River with signs that say "Private Property Do Not Enter".A few have been converted into Banquet facilities with breathtaking views of the Delaware river and the neighboring Jersey shores.. The one I turned into is Pen Ryn Mansion & Belle Voir Manor   Here are some...

Another way to look at the DISC, personality, and how to deal with others. Your boss walks into your cubical and says, "I need that project from you by 2:00" turns around and walks out. How do you feel? Well if you're a get it done kind of person, you might appreciate that he didn't waste your time with niceties and was in out. But if that is not your style, you may get pretty mad. You're really excited to tell your team you have a new project. It will require a lot of work and the deadline is almost impossible to meet without everyone putting in extra hours but you're pumped.
