		<title>What I Learned In Class So Far</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Looking back at my years and years (and years) of schooling I really can&#8217;t say I have much to show for my time.  I still don&#8217;t understand why I have to take 4 years of University; I could do it in 2 for sure.  Cut all the unrelated useless courses out of my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Top 10: Deal With Bad Tenants</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I own a rental property currently, and I have 3 people renting from me.  Unfortunately, I had a bad tenant.  Not one who didn&#8217;t pay rent or damaged things, but someone who was very disturbing to the other tenants.  The eviction process went quite smoothly, and despite a few insulting letters, I remain unscathed.

		<title>Tom Peters on the Education System</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Tom Peters, a self proclaimed &#8220;loudmouth&#8221;, talks about the failings of the modern education system.  It rewards those who &#8220;colour in the lines&#8221; and punishes those who show creativity, even though we are living in a world that values creation extremely highly.

		<title>Rules of Green Thumb</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
&#8220;A general guideline, rather than a strict rule; a means of approximate measure based on experience or common knowledge.&#8221; (Thanks Wiktionary.)
There seem to be an infinite supply of &#8220;rules of thumb&#8221;, passed on and on from generations of old.  By no means are they real substitutes for sound financial analysis; however, in a pinch [...]]]></description>
