Is Job Hunting Like Finding a Needle in a Haystack?

Where are all the jobs? The newspaper classifieds are dry. The online job sites are dry. Even the local job agencies are DRY.

But I have discovered a gold mine! You can truly leave no rock unturned now.

No need to register. Just type in your town. Then you can narrow the list down by business type. And sort by number of employees or alphabetically or by profit margin.

You'll be amazed. It will take you days to exhaust this source and hopefully you will hit paydirt and land a job!

Miss Pooh Wants to be Green

"Miss Pooh" is in Kindergarden now and just celebrated her 100th day of learning with her classmates. But there is something we're not breaking out the party hats about and that is the strange fact that she has been sick ever since she walked through those doors.

And now we have the added concern of water and airborn pollutants, radioactive ones even we are now learning, due to the huge TVA coal ash spill just 60 miles upriver from us.

It is highly possible that her school has "sick building syndrome" and the good news is that there is a simple cure for this.

President Obama's Stimulus Package includes improving our schools and I am hoping that this will include improving the air quality in them by installing "green walls" in every classroom.

Other names for green walls are living walls, vertical gardens, biowalls and active walls.

There are so many good reasons for wanting this and not one single bad reason.

1. It will pay for itself as green walls are proven to reduce the air conditioning bill and provide needed humidity in the winter.

2. It will teach students about the role plants have in our environment.

3. It improves the quality of the air removing toxins as the air is circulated through the wall.

4. It helps asthma sufferers.

5. Students can concentrate and learn more when they can breathe better.

6. They are feng shui peaceful to look at.

7. Once installed they are easy to maintain.

8. They can also be set up to recycle and reuse greywater.

9. They provide a natural sound barrier.

10. They can even provide the class with a snack!
