    Yet another car question for SUX...

    No rush...just something I want to take care of this summer and was wondering what it will set me back. I am just assuming I need a new one. One crack runs about mid height from passenger side towards drivers side about 1/3 of the way across window. Another one runs vertical about midway across window. It extends about 1/4 of the way up then makes a 90 degree turn toward the driver's side for about 2 inches. Both of these continue to expand. I figure they will soon be in my primary viewing area. Another spot has a chip out from where a rock hit, but it never spread.

    American Idol

    I just find Blake to be an average singer and his movements are just annoying. That freakin' hand gesture he does like he's scratching records all the time...even when he is not beatboxing...makes me want to snap his elbow. Melinda is the best singer there. She has been the best from day one. She is the only one of the three I would even consider listening to outside the show. That mousey, shy, "oh I'm not very good" type schtick she does wears on you. Overall great voice, great talent, but would seem to have questionable marketability. Jordin...meh. I htought she shoud have been gone in previous weeks.

    fixored Municipal Stadium was like a ghost town for Tribe games through the 70's and 80's as I was growing up. The stadium held over 80,000 but a Tribe game would draw about 5-8k (unless there was a special event). You would go and buy the cheapest ticket, then sit wherever you wanted.

    Solve for x

    Since it seems we must wear our credentials to enter this thread...I have a BS in Astronomy and Physics with a minor in Mathematics and a MEd in Educational Technology...FWIW I fully agree with nobody's analysis (and others who supported it). I also send out props to Riddlen for his commentary concerning GF's misrepresentation of Quantum Mechanics.

    Moss to be traded to NE for the 127th pick

    It appears as though the system is evolving. The addition of Moss and Stallworth should redefine the system. The vertical game is going to spread the field wide open for Maroney to find some seams.

    I am not going to rant on teachers anymore

    I am not trying to rain on your parade...I truly appreciate the intent behind your idea, but I have now been in public education for 16 years, and the system (for some legitimate reasons and some not so legit) just isn't set up to make what you want to do an easy thing. As far as making suggestions, that is what I was trying to do...I apologize if it sounded as if I was just trying to derail your plan. 1. If you truly want to teach/do something in the public schools, I recommend you contact the State Board of Education for addition information. While school districts can set their own policies and procedures, there are certain things that must meet state requirements. Since you mentioned Florida, I provided a link to the Florida Department of Education. I am in Ohio, so I have no first hand knowledge of how things operate in Florida, but I imagine it can't be too drastically different. 2. My other suggestion was that perhaps you try to offer this course through some sort of community educational program. I know that where I live, the city offers all kinds of programming throughout the year including sports programs, business classes, basic computer skills classes, arts and crafts, youth camps, and a wide rage of special interest programming. This route might be more conducive to what you are trying to accomplish. I'd be happy to help, if I can...

    I am not going to rant on teachers anymore

    Then you will not even get your foot in the door of a public high school...especially if the "class" will be available for credit. It doesn't matter if it is free...It doesn't matter if it is not part of a "standardardized" curriculum...It doesn't matter how well intended you are. You can not teach in a public school without a certification. It doesn't necessarily have to be the type of certification a regular teacher may have...there may be temporary, provisional, or alternative type certifications available. You would have to check with the state department of education. But no Board of Education is going to approve some Joe Schmo being placed in charge of an educational offering in their school. You may have better luck going through some sort of Community sponsored educational program rather than a school system.

    Lemonade stands for kids?

    You want to tap the crowd gathering for the Taste of Tacoma???? Now, I am not from the area, but I would think that an event billed as the "Taste of..." is an event where people are going to eat and sample foods from area restaurants, maybe some wine tasting, etc... Why the hell would people want to buy your kids piss water when they are on their way (or leaving) to an event where they intend to eat and drink???

    Are you certified to teach in Florida? Are you certified to teach at all? You aren't going to get very far in this endeavor regardless of how well intended (and free) you may be without a teaching certification. Florida Department of Education - Certification

    How fockin dumb are people?

    On what grounds do you sue??? That's absurd. A student felt threatened by something that was out of the ordinary, so they called the police. The police investigated. Are police no longer allowed to question people regarding suspicious behavior???

    Crazy drivers

    We ought to be able to revoke some people's driver's license. I am driving down the Interstate today doing about 65 mph. It is a four lane section of road and I am in the lane second from the right. Up ahead, I see some hazard lights flashing and I seem to be approaching them awefully quick. I start to slow down and look to my left and right looking to make a lane change. Before I know it, I am right on this car. It turns out the crazy bastard is going in REVERSE!!!!...In the second lane of a four lane section of Interstate with traffic flowing steady at 65-70 mph. Fortunately I had a open space to my left and managed to swerve around the car. The car behind me nearly hit me when I slowed down. There was lots of screeching, swirving, and horn blowing. I am not sure if anyone actually crashed, but it seemed like that would be pretty likely. The only thing I can figure is that th car going in reverse missed the intended exit and was backing up to get there. Obviously this is a ridiculous thing to do, but if they wanted to do this, couldn't they have at least gotten off onto the shoulder? This episode scared the hell out of me, not to mention my two kids in the back seat.

    My Idiot, Trailer Park Trash G/F

    What is she blowing her money on then? If she has the money to pay you back, why doesn't she just pay the focking bills??? If she doesn't have the $$$ to pay the bills, how is she supposed to pay you back??? If her resources are going into paying you back, then she will just fall behind on the bills again. Where did the $5 k tax return go??? She either blew that money, or she can afford to pay her own bills. You're getting played...
