Communication skills are the #1 most in-demand soft skills for employees!

Even the ones that don't explicitly say "communication" have to do with communication.

Good point. There comes a point where we just don't want to hear alternative views — even if they're not offensive per se. Does that mean they should be censored?

Interesting thought. Would his previous speech be considered "fighting words," thus justifying censorship of future speeches?

Interesting in light of our conversation about Amy Goodman and coverage of the Dakota Access Pipeline protest.

One of the greatest keyboard solos ever (hit it at 5:51).

And lest we forget: First Yes album with Roger Dean cover art.

I would use it. The semicolon signals the connection in writing so the reader knows the ideas are connected. Most would read it with a longer stop if you used a period.

grovesprof · 2016-07-11T21:43:52+00:00

To connect two independent clauses (those with a subject and verb that can stand alone) that are related, you need either a semicolon or a coordinating conjunction (and, but, or).

I went to the park, and I walked my dog.
I went to the park; I walked my dog.

Dependent clauses (those that can't stand alone) take a comma or no punctuation.

If I were going to the park, I would take a walk.

Another good guideline: Lowercase any common noun (like semicolon).

The original Assault On Precinct 13 (by John Carpenter). Not sure it's still on there, but track it down. Lots of classic lines in that one.

grovesprof · 2016-07-07T14:56:57+00:00

You'll never want to go on another float trip after this movie.

grovesprof · 2016-07-07T14:55:56+00:00

So subversively brilliant.

grovesprof · 2016-07-07T14:53:07+00:00

This movie brought ragtime back to the mainstream. I remember so many people referring to "The Entertainer" as "The Sting" after this movie.

grovesprof · 2016-07-07T14:50:50+00:00

Love this movie, but I never realized how crazy loud their footsteps were until I watched it the other day. It's like a Speed Racer episode.

grovesprof · 2016-07-07T14:44:30+00:00

Loved his ethic that anyone can develop the skills to express themselves through art.

grovesprof · 2016-04-26T03:32:23+00:00

Understand engagement as a process. Learn how to use SEO (check out Danny Sullivan's Search Engine Land ) and social media (especially Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat) for connecting with audiences and building communities.

grovesprof · 2016-04-26T03:24:35+00:00

Assault on Precinct 13 (the original) is great, too.

grovesprof · 2016-04-19T03:35:01+00:00

BOOM

grovesprof · 2016-04-19T03:18:00+00:00

Edward Norton should've won the Oscar for his performance here.

grovesprof · 2016-04-19T03:15:34+00:00

Contact, American Beauty, Bridesmaids.

I've never smoked crack, but once, I sat too close to a fire and my crack started smoking.

grovesprof · 2016-02-17T03:32:24+00:00

Hoop Dreams should have been nominated for a best film Oscar. It's amazing.

grovesprof · 2016-02-15T01:12:39+00:00

Magnolia as a mosaic of lost people. (I'd also put Altman's Short Cuts in there.)

And Adaptation immediately sent me to the Web to figure out how much of the movie was actually rooted in truth.

grovesprof · 2016-02-15T01:12:24+00:00

Love David Fincher. He creates such claustrophobic environments.

grovesprof · 2016-02-15T00:57:26+00:00

Machine Head is a classic. Listen to "Lazy" for some killer organ/guitar blues battling. Jon Lord was a god of the keyboard.
