The Tinker's Toy
Ward C. Tipton
Tink Lochs started working for the trade federation right out of college. He started out as a legal assistant in the legal department for litigation and complaints. His job was to review litigation and complaints against the trade federation by the sponsoring corporations and the colonists. He would then annotate them with any and all of the proper and relevant laws, by-laws, rules, regulations and requirements and forward them to the proper legal department for adjudication. Six years later, here he was, performing the same mundane and routine tasks on a daily basis.
Unlike many people who get lost in a single cubicle among thousands of others just like it and seemingly forgotten as long as they continue to perform the duties which are expected of them; Tink had never become disillusioned. He still believed in the federation and the work and services that they performed and provided for the Planetary Inhabitation Project Colonies. The PIP colonies provided many benefits to both the trade federation and the people of earth. In exchange, colonists were given the opportunity to own land without any cost to them. As much land as they could control or care for was there for the taking.
As a direct result of his work for the federation, Tink had an intimate knowledge of all of the red tape that kept the massive gears turning smoothly. He understood that sometimes individuals had to suffer a bit in order to maintain the greater good. It really was quite that simple. It was harsh in some ways but it was a necessary part of doing business. If a vendor found himself in the position of having a monopoly on a colony, that was fine as long as they did not abuse the situation to take advantage of the others there. If a corporation was found to be in violation of the laws, they too were held equally accountable. Anybody openly trying to maintain a monopoly or any type of abusive control was subject to fines and penalties including the loss of everything that they owned or even their corporate autonomy.
Writing Blog Entries

For many aspiring writers and even for some professional writers, the very idea of writing lengthy articles filled with facts and information can be a daunting task and seemingly impossible to accomplish on a regular basis. While it is not nearly as difficult as some people would like to believe, it still can be difficult enough for some people to want to build up to or get some practice before they start.
Writing blog entries can be an excellent way to get experience, learn to relax with a pen in your hand and allow you to find out whether there is a large amount of interest in the knowledge that you have to share.

With the economic times getting tougher for everybody, many people are looking for ways to save money without making too many personal sacrifices. One of the most common and very popular results of this is what is known as window-box gardening. This is especially popular in more urban settings where yards and open ground are more than just a little bit scarce.
Christ as the Last Adam

One of the many parables that seem to lead to more questions than answers is the comparison of Christ to Adam. Going back to the whole thing with the “apple” it is easy to see why this can be confusing to some people. Eve was deceived by Satan but Adam sinned willfully. Since this was done before they had any offspring, sin and death have been passed down to all of us as their posterity. Had it not occurred in such a manner, I may not be sitting here writing this today but since it did, well, we all know the story I think.
Bad Fad Diets

If you are at all familiar with the term “fad” you may be able to see right away what would be wrong with fad diets. If you are not familiar with the term, in American terms, it is generally viewed as a passing craze. In British terms, it means to be overly fussy, particularly when it comes to what a person will or will not consume. Both of these definitions have negative connotations and that is not entirely without reason. When you are beginning your personal weight loss challenge, are you going to want the negative aspects or the positive aspects on your side? To better understand this, first take a look at exactly what the negative connotations are in association with fad diets.
