Monsanto...I should've known. This will never happen though, as the organic farming movement is too strong. All this does is make Monsanto look worse to the public eye than it already does.

"Greenwashing" - Not "Green" Just Because it Says So

Since time began, companies have fought each other for the right to identify certain colors with their brand. Now we see a change in all the products on the store shelves, the billboards, everywhere - they are turning "green". But are they really?

Weird World of Sports: Chess Boxing!

Two very well composed gentlemen survey the fine game of chess spread out before them. One makes a move. Then they stand up, don a pair of gloves, and proceed to beat the living crap out of each other while others gape in horror!

Hello, I am new to Smaller Indiana and thought I would reach out to connect and say hello. My name is Brandon and I am the Director for Musical Medicine. We build music libraries for hospitals.

Are you planning on attending the Chocolate Blues and Business Networking Festival next Thursday? I hear it's going to be huge, they expect about 1,500 people to attend. It should be a great networking day! I have free tickets, if you need a ticket, let me know and I'll email you one. If you want more details about it, it's listed under events on the 26th.

Have a good day and I look forward to networking with you. Please let me know if I can ever do anything for you,
Brandon

Hi John...hope all is going well for you. I lost my lilly job a couple of weeks ago...they said there was not enough work for me. Basically, I was called to the B&C office and told that and was not allowed to go back and get my effects. Am currently looking.
