It's Time For Updates, including my 3rd video blog post!


Hello Blogger Readers, 

In today's post, assuming that all goes as planned, I have uploaded, as is below, my 3rd video blog post. This was created yesterday, on Thanksgiving Day.  So, as I would rather blog in this written form, I am taking a break of the "norm" and bring to you this 3rd video blog post.  

In other news, I am currently, also in the process of updating my business page on my website with links to my business form (PDF, Word, and and Online Form).  Also updated on my website is a new breaking news update on my blog, as well as this 3rd video blog post.  So, wit all the updates on my site, I thought that it would be time to give this "daily" blog, or journal blog an update! 

So, enjoy this 3rd video blog post and after you have viewed it, please feel free to post a comment to this post! So, Enjoy! 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Is DR. WEB harmful or not? / BACK FROM RETREAT: My Reflected-Scheduled Notes



Hello Friends, Family, and all else who may read this blog of mine, 

Well, I'm back.  It's been about a week, or so, since I lasted blogged to you since I last blogged to you on Halloween and the previous couple of days leading up to that spooky, All Saint's Day EVE, holiday!  So, what's on the "so-called, brief" agenda for today's UPDATE of me and thoughts to share.  Well, basically, going off the title of this post, there are two topics to be discussed for today: the first (I.) is going to be a recommended website that I am providing you all and based on that site, I will briefly ask/discuss with you is: Is "DR. WEB" harmful or not?; and the second (II.) is my reflected notes from my Shellbourne College Retreat--as taken from my small "memo-book", 60-sheet, notebook.  So, that's the brief introduction and now, onto the body (and point) of today's "updated on me" post! 

I. Is DR. WEB harmful or not?
Its amazing at what you learn (and apply) from a CST 100-01 (essential computer skills) class.  (and yes, this is the same class that this "daily" blog, that you are currently reading, was created.)  So, anyways, it is from this class, that my instructor, Professor Wright, gave us a link to a health related website (maybe you've heard of it, or maybe you've not), so here it is and let me know if you find use of this helpful health website and what your thoughts are, using these questions to guide you in your thoughtful response about this health-related website: Is it a good site or not?-- meaning is it harmful or good that people could "potentially diagnose" themselves over the web without consulting a "real-life" doctor.    Dr. Web, Web MD, can be accessed/located from the following website: http://www.webmd.com/
*RELATING THIS SITE/STORY to the RU community, this could bean equivalent
substitute, of sorts, to a student health center--a recommended source where
students could go to for health related information-- basically this could be
this could be the basis in seeing if one (a student/person) would have to see if
he/she is need of a "real-life" doctor consultation or not.

*Coming possibly soon might be an article, written by me, for the Torch (RU's student newspaper) on this first topic discussed, briefly, above. 


II. My Reflected-Scheduled Notes: From My Shellbourne College Retreat

Shellbourne College Retreat
(Oct. 31 - Nov. 2, 2008)
Insights, Resolutions, and Notes 
reflected by: Daniel S.
  • I stayed in ("my living quarters"): Lodge, 2nd floor-- Room 2-7
  • Retreat Attendees: Fr. Paul(chaplain); Jeff(retreat director); Dan(me; collegiate retreat attendee); Matt(collegiate retreat attendee); Erik(collegiate retreat attendee)  ---------->there were "3 retreat attendees"
The college Retreat "officially", as said on the schedule, begins/began at 7:00 p.m. (scheduled activities were subject to change and did have notable adjustments and changes for a few of the activities.  

The following is my documented schedule, with various notes, insights, and resolutions that I "journalistly" took down-- most related to the subject/topic manner of the various activities of the retreat, while a few went off topic relating to some reminders that came onto my head during the retreat to remind myself of at a latter, some time after, the retreat.
