Of Mentors, Being Mentored and Being a Mentor Part 1: Life Mentors
Dec 28 2007
Posted by Lorie Therese as Character Profiles, Family Features, Family Life
In this world, it is best to learn from others. Even in Proverbs, this had been advocated extensively by King Solomon. It is wisdom to learn directly through experience, but it is greater wisdom to learn from advice or from others’ experience.
I am about to write a two-part series on learning from others. One would cover one’s personal life, and the other would cover career/vocation.
Today, I will talk about learning from others (being mentored), and mentoring others, in the context of personal life.
Being mentored about life is something we all long for. That is why children get fixated on teachers and adapt heroes and role models, aside from relying on their parents for their initial decisions. When I was younger, I was taunted for being the “teacher’s pet” because I liked hanging around them, simply because I wanted to learn more.
Celebrity Babies and Paparazzi: Invasion of Privacy!
Dec 02 2007
Posted by Lorie Therese as Character Profiles, Entertainment
I was just trying to lighten things up a bit, because I was getting too focused on working when I found this AOL.com stash of celebrity baby videos. My favorite was Liv Tyler’s baby, Milo Langdon. I liked how he said “please” when he wanted the camera flashes to stop irritating his eyes. And I’m sure the paps found that adorable too.
While I was watching Kingston Rossdale’s (Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale’s son) video, I couldn’t help realizing how the stars we so envy actually live lifestyles that are not so envy-eliciting after all.

Character Profile: Lippy the Lion and Hardy Har-Har
Aug 22 2006
Posted by Spengs as Character Profiles
Most of the characters in the Hanna Barbara universe were punching bags. In fact, I’d say that about every last one of them. Whether they were maniacal schemers (Yogi Bear) or good-hearted pansies (Huckleberry Hound), they always got their asses kicked left and right no matter what they were doing. However, amongst all the characters getting mauled by dogs or shredded in wood-chippers, Lippy the Lion and Hardy Har-Har had to be the most tragic outlets for Hanna Barbara’s psychotic pent-up rage.Â
They were traveling handymen, willing to take ...
While I haven’t put very much research into this, I’m fairly confident that Loopy de Loop was the very first cartoon character to have a French accent and NOT be a sex-offender. And he was a wolf, too, which is especially surprising as wolves in cartoons are either shown to be godless killing machines or serial rapists.
But not Loopy de Loop. Probably because he was French-CANADIAN. Now, I’ve never actually met a Canadian before, but I hear they’re rather pleasant. Loopy de Loop’s major ...
You know what made Peter Potamus so entertaining? Well, mildly entertaining, at the very best. Anyway, what made him so cool was that he had a time-travel cartoon that DIDN’T try to teach you anything! Nearly every cartoon that had time-travel as a major plot-point used it as a front for supplemental education. Back to the Future the Series, Flint the Time Detective, Peabody & Sherman, Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventures, Times Squad…the list goes on!
But not Peter Potamus, no sir. Sure, he might ...
Mildew Wolf, one of the forgotten Hanna Barbara villains, never really achieved the status of Dick Dastardly or Muttly; Hanna Barbara’s premier bad guys. The reason for that is probably because…he just wasn’t very evil.
But for everything he lacked in the evil-department, Mildew Wolf made up for ten-fold in flaming homosexual ambiguity. Probably the thing that made him so flamboyant was his voice. It’s hard to describe, but…okay, do you remember Samurai Pizza Cats?
Alright, so maybe that isn’t the best example, but try real hard. ...
Ricochet Rabbit, the poor-man’s Quick Draw McGraw. To be honest, I’ve never been a big fan of Westerns or Western cartoons, Quick Draw included. So Ricochet Rabbit was never my cup of tea.
Still, I liked him more than Quick Draw McGraw, mostly because Ricochet had a super power; he was a speedster not unlike the Flash, Quicksilver, Max Mercury, Johnny Quick or, um, the Wizzer. Yeah, I guess Quick Draw was kind of a super hero. He had that El Kabong thing going. ...
In The News
Daryl of Dunder Mifflin
This news is a little sad for me because I am a huge fan of the TV sitcom “The Office”. I’ve been following this show for the past two years and have really admired all the characters. One of my personal favorites was Daryl, the Dunder Mifflin warehouseman whom Michael (the boss) always always try [...]-

What is your carbon footprint? Hmm… ok, let’s start over… What is a carbon footprint?
A carbon footprint is a “measure of the impact human activities have on the environment in terms of the amount of greenhouse gases produced, measured in units of carbon dioxide“.
Here’s a nifty tool from ivillage.com, an online calculator to measure carbon footprints. I think this is [...] -

Madonna Louise Ciccone Ritchie (born August 16, 1958) is from Bay City, Michigan. Moved to New York city for a career in modern dance. After 25 years [...]

Pack it well!
I’ve had my fair share of local and international travels. Everytime I “hit the road” I am always brought to “hit the wall” when the time comes to pack. I just couldn’t fit what I need to bring in a small suitcase. Really! My solution? Have the wife do the packing for me. I tell [...] Family Life
Avoiding Debt Triggers
While summer can be the fun-filled time of the year IT CAN also be a huge debt trap. Every year, Americans splurge on summer expenses like trips, hotels, summer clothing, gears, and gadgets. Oh and all those have-nots that people just “need” to make summer extra perfect.
Every mall will hand out “special deals” to hook [...]From the Editor
