Our family has always liked New England style clam chowder. We have used various recipes over time but recently we adapted one that we originally found on Recipezaar, created by Derf, her version, Recipe #14134.

Are You Trying to be a One-Man Band?
At one point, I wrote resumes for local television media on-air personalities and reporters in news, sports, and even weather. During time, I learned their jargon and the insider details in the media industry. For instance, I learned how television market rankings are defined. Did you know that each area has its own market ranking….
Giving up control

I can't help helping

Julie's Take on Health Care
As a self-employed business owner, I have watched the health care debate from the sidelines. For over 20 years of my 25+ year self-employment, I paid my own health insurance. In 2005, when premiums reached $500 / month with a $5,000 a year deductible per person for my then family of 4, I stopped. I…

In this economic climate where everyone is challenged, not just job seekers but also employers, there is often a disconnect between the outplacement packages offered to high echelon employees and the next tier of sales professionals, middle management, production leadership, and others. Executives are often offered substantial packages that serve to compensate them for their…
