Roush racing SUCKS!! I can't stand Jack Roush. He and his organization totally suck! He cries about everything and now he and Best Buy have screwed RPM. They will never win a championship with Edwards. Their great FR9 didn't do much for them when it counted. UPS and Best Buy can screw off as well. They both jumped ship to be with Edwards. Hopefully Rousch has terrible luck in 2012.

Best Buy to Roush Fenway creates more questions than it answers
By admin | December 20, 2011
By Richard Allen
In one of the least surprising moves of the current off season, it was made official on Tuesday morning that electronics provider Best Buy was ending its association with Richard Petty Motorsports to partner with Roush Fenway Racing for the 2012 season. The deal is for the company to serve as primary sponsor on the #17 Fords of Matt Kenseth for nine races, on the #99 Fords of Carl Edwards for two races and on both cars as associate sponsor when not in the primary role.
While that announcement does in fact answer the question of which team the sponsor will align itself, there are a number of other questions that arise in the wake of the move.
First, the deal with RFR is only for nine races on the #17 car. Last year in a model that seems to be the emerging trend in racing sponsorship, Kenseth's ride carried a number of different primary backers that were pieced together throughout the season. So, will there be other sponsors to come on board the that car in 2012? And if so, who?
Second, where does the Best Buy announcement leave Richard Petty Motorsports? The two car operation that had planned on fielding rides for both Marcos Ambrose in the #9 car and A.J. Allmendinger in the #43 machine(which had been sponsored by Best Buy), now finds itself seriously lacking in sponsorship funding. So, will this organization be able to maintain two cars? Will the famous number #43 remain on track? And, will Allmendinger have a ride going forward?
And more, this move seemingly casts a dark shadow on the hopes of Kurt Busch securing a fulltime ride for 2012. The 2004 Sprint Cup champion had been rumored to move into the #43 car replacing Allmendinger in an attempt to keep Best Buy in the RPM stable. Now, with the sponsor leaving, it would appear unlikely that the team would want to commit the dollars necessary to secure a driver of Busch's stature.
All in all, the announcement that Best Buy is going to Roush Fenway Racing only manages to answer the question of which cars will actually carry that company's colors in 2012. Beyond that, there are a number of questions left unanswered.

Roush Racing is a class act..Jack Roush when it comes to ethics is as good or better than most teams !
Jack has not complained no more than most team owners, the only thing is Nascar press seems to demonize him because he tells his opinion to them and not behind their backs !!!!
Nascar needs more 'car guys' like Roush!!

Tyler, i wouldn't discount cousin carl out of a championship. He's one of the best. As far as jack goes…yep, he's always been a whiner.

I agree this move does raise a few questions as you say.
1. Long term what is the future of Best Buy as a sponsor? While we dont know the dollar amount it would be surprising if this is an increase over what RPM was getting for the #43. Best Buy itself is under serious pressure from Amazon and its earnings have declined as a result.
2. Does Kurt Busch have the ability to attract a sponsor in the short term, or, like Michael Vick and Tiger Woods (to name two extreme examples) will their be a exile period until sponsors are willing to associate their name with his.
3. Will RPM be able to attract sponsorship, or, if not will they continue with just one car.
As to the previous comments about RFR, they do have a certain reputation, and from what I hear its well deserved. Just ask the owners of the company that used to distribute ford racing parts.
Richard Allen Says:

According to a number of reports out this morning it appears as though at least one of those questions has been answered. AJ Allmendinger is likely destined to take of the #22 car.
There are also reports out that David Ragan may fill the seat of the 43 ride.
Kurt Busch still waits.

So another full time sponsor leaves NASCAR. Since last season (off the top of my head) UPS, Red Bull, Crown Royal and now Best Buy have all either left or cut back on their sponsorships.
That does not bode well for the sport.
Jim Says:
December 21st, 2011 at 1:10 pm
Best Buy has indeed moved to RFR and scaled back. I for one, wish they would leave the sport all together. They are a classless retailer, and are proving to be a classless sponsor, as they again have switched teams and left a well respected driver and team in limbo.
I'm am happy that AJ Allmendinger is working on an agreement to take over the 22 car at Penske Racing, but that still leaves Petty in a bad situation.

Racing takes money. Money is tight these days. Leave your thin skin at the door.
Russ Says:
December 22nd, 2011 at 3:01 pm
When talking about sponsors, Stop and think about all the government sponsorship of Nascar race cars.
As a veteran I'm not anti military far from it. And I realize they waste a heck of a lot of money on other things. But I dont think that my tax dollars need to be spent on that.
Particularly as because of the economy there are more people trying to get in the military than they can take.
If that money was removed how many more cars would be parked?
Charles Says:
December 23rd, 2011 at 9:11 am
I agree with you on military spending!!!!!
Seen a report that said just the National Gards sponsorship of Dale Jr and Hendrick Motorsports is close to $22 million a year!!!!
Have freinds retired in National Gard, cannot get things for their reserve unit, because of lack of money as a excuse!!!!!
Plus with all the fly overs that cost money as well, dont think it will do a thing for recruiting!!!
Russ Says:
December 23rd, 2011 at 2:02 pm
Thanks. My personal opinion is that this is all a result of political contributions, and allegiances with the political class.
Interesting in that many of the hard core fans, which used to be one of, have a real problem with government bailouts - unless it is to something like this.
As the past president of a local charity I can't understand the logic of a "feed the hungary" organization paying millions to sponsor a race car!
Charles Says:
December 23rd, 2011 at 5:59 pm
Again thumbs up…this AARP Feed the Hungry program just in all due respect pass the smell test!
I mean they are probably puting in close to $15 million a year or more in Jeff Gordons racecar!!
You could feed a lot of hungry people with that…I mean we have our government giving tons of aid…Red Cross, Salvation Army etc!
AARP who I" use to be a member" should be helping lowering senior citizens cost of insurance…instead of this program, I mean I try to help some local folks who have needs when a fire or death or accident hurt them…but $15 million in Nascar I have issues!!!!!
Russ Says:
December 24th, 2011 at 8:51 am
As you have figured out, its part of the game. Some of those in the ruling class scratching each others back. (We dont need to talk about tax breaks do we?)
We operated a successful and growing food bank in our community, which continues today. Additionally in the community were several other church based foodbanks. Not one turned anyone away, or paid for food.
Neither one of these issues passes the smell test. In fact they do smell, but not like a bunch of roses.
Remember last year, when it was proposed that the government cut this funding to the teams? The outcry about how unfair it was? Well, I think it is unfair,and a bit of a shell game.

It can all be much more subtle, though. An abusive relationship might involve one partner trying to control another, such as limiting which friends you see, or when you can go out.

Amazing shoot for Vogue Portugal
Model - Isa Asklo
This peacoat is from a newcomer, a Korean brand called Wooyoungmi. Beautifully designed double breasted coat, epaulettes, tap collar, single vent, buttoned cuffs. Just all around great job done on this coat. I don't know why the went the wool blend route, with 70% wool, 20% nylon, and 10% cashmere. Just sounds like a weird choice of composition, throwing a cheap man made fiber in with wool and cashmere doesn't really make sense but either way its a great looking piece. Only available at select locations in the us, Mr. Porter's got em. $980
This is a gorgeous messenger bag from Marc by Marc Jacobs. Sleek design, textured leather, polished silver hardware, enough pockets to hold everything you own. Great piece and all things considered, the price isn't too bad either. $500 at Mr. Porter.
All over print Goyard clothes and wallpaper…. looking like 80's Dapper Dan creation.

I know this is may come as a surprise to the few who have been reading my blog, but I am actually denoting an entire post to a specific J. Crew product. I came across this shirt hanging at my tailors shop while I was getting some clothes done and it was love at first sight. I had no idea who made it (which probably helped my initial reaction) but from the second I saw it, I knew I had to have it. You probably think I'm nuts, but these pictures do it no justice, it's a beautiful shirt, a beautiful pattern, and its beautifully tailored, from the stitching to the gussets, they did a great job. I bought one that night. $65 at J.Crew. (it's in the secret wash section)
Here's a new piece from one of my new favorite design houses, AMI by Alexandre Mattiussi. Following the seasons color trends, here is a beautiful oxblood (close enough) flannel wool shirt. Tailored to look like a standard OCBD, however works as the perfect over-shirt, and in that beautiful hue, would add depth and refinement to nearly any casual ensemble. $435 at Mr. Porter.
This is Boglioli's S/S 2013 look book, and as you can see, they make absolutely beautiful garments. This Italian design house has made a name for itself by making gorgeous clothes with the finest materials available, yet in a lighter weight composition. So for all those living in warmer climates, you would be foolish not to invest in some Boglioli suiting, for you will have a 4 season suit that is impeccably made. For those in colder climates, you should move.

Used leftover pot of black beans and left out the bacon. Added entire bellpepper just like everyone else and threw in some chopped tomatoes - absolutely delicious. Did seasoning exactly as writtine, a tiny bit spicy, very nice flavor. Ate it with avo and a little grated cheese on top. Can't wait to make again.
I too went with a less brothy version and ended up using about 2 quarts of liquid (1/2 vegetable broth, 1/2 water). I used a whole red bell pepper and amp'd up the garlic and jalapeno as well as adding red pepper flakes and some ancho chile powder. I served it with a little spicy chorizo. Very good.
Good easy recipe. I just use canned black beans, double the bell peppers (what are you going to do with the other half?), leave out the jalapeno b/c we have small children and use only 1 qt ckn broth and everyone, from my 1 year old son to my hubby to my very picky father in law, loves it. With the canned beans, the whole recipe only takes about 1/2 hour, so very good for a weekday night, especially with nothing to defrost. But if possible, I do prefer to let it simmer for 1-2 hours, to let the flavors meld. It always seems better the day after, even cold. I always serve it with Mexican rice and avocados and it makes a good hearty meal. One other change...I just leave all the bacon in. Sprinkling it on top didn't really add anything, and with the low sodium ckn broth, the extra saltiness in the soup is nice.
I love this recipe... just as it is or with canned tomatoes added. I've roasted the red pepper and added more than it asked for. But the broth amount seems way out of whack! I've used much less and it's still very brothy and different.
This soup is yummy. I had some grilled poblano peppers in the freezer that I subbed for the red pepper which added a smoky and spicy edge. I didn't have any stock and used water instead and it was great. I'll make it again for sure.
Perfect the way it is and lovely for a luncheon or an entree. I give it a meatier flare sometimes by doing the bacon as written, but add two big meaty boneless country style pork ribs cut into 1/2 inch cubes and seared/cooked with the bacon. And, I add three to six nice big deseeded fresh off the vine tomatoes. Either way, the flavors are the testament to a delicous meal!
For my vegetarian daughter, I use vegetable broth. I skimp a bit on the broth and add a bit more beans so that the end result is thicker. Also, I puree the whole thing, including the cilantro, because I like the thicker texture better than the whole beans. If needed, I add a splash of honey. For the rest of my family, I use chicken broth and the bacon, and I puree it all, bacon and all at the end, once again adding honey or brown sugar if appropriate. If, for some reason it turns out not as thick as I'd like, I serve it over white or brown rice. This is the best black bean soup I've ever eaten. Freezes well.
I love beans, specially the black variety,so I have made variations of this soup for years.A tip about cooking the beans: really try to soak them all night in lots of water, rinse next day using a colander under runing water,cook in a pressure cooker covered in a couple of inches of water(or unsalted broth) for 20-25 minutes then ,and only then mix in whatever seasonings and salt you want and finish cooking.That way they will always be soft and not at all "gaseus"
This is outstanding (and black beans are not my favorites), but it's only going to be as good as what you use in it. I used 48 oz. of homemade turkey broth, two cups of soaked overnight and cooked beans, and a whole red pepper. I think 96 oz. of liquid would make it way too brothy, and cooking it down would destroy it. Don't skip the cilantro.
I made a quick version of this with a few alterations and it turned out really well. 1 can of black beans drained, 1 48 oz can of chicken broth, chopped ham instead of bacon, and a bit of lime juice before serving. I cooked the peppers, onions, etc in a bit of olive oil, and put the ham in with the broth.

Thingamagoop 2 Kit Instructions
This project can be completed by those who are new to soldering, but it is very important that you know how to solder safely before you start. This includes working in a well-ventilated area and wearing safety glasses.
Check out bleeplabs.com/kits for more info about tools and videos on soldering properly.
Begin by installing all the parts that go on the top of the circuit board, or "PCB". Refer to the parts list for help differentiating all the little electronic doo-dads. Note that location of some part on your circuit board might differ from those pictured here. Simply place parts in the spots indicated on your board.
These are sockets that protect the chips from direct soldering. The chips, or "ICs" will be installed after all the soldering is done.
Insert the DIPs into the outlined spaces. One 8-pin DIP in the small space and two 14-pins in the large ATMEGA168 space. Orientation of the DIPs does not matter. Bend the pins toward each other using your flat head screwdriver once they are in..
This is a voltage regulator that powers the AVR chip.
Bend the leads out slightly so they fir into the PCB. Don't push the 78L05 all the way down, it should stand a little above the board.
Make sure that it's in the correct direction and clip off the excess leads. Leads can shoot off with some force so be sure to wear your safety glasses. The best place to cut is just on the outside of the pad, leaving enough lead for the part to hang on but not too much so that it could touch another pad.
Starting with the first value on the left (10k), install all of the resistors for that value and move on to the next value until all 7 resistors are installed. Put a 220 resistor in the space marked "R1". Direction of the resistors does not matter.
Bend the leads of the resistor down so that the part resembles a U and insert the leads into the PCB. Then flatten the leads away from the resistor and clip the excess off just as you did before.
The small, yellowish caps are not polar, meaning you can put them in either direction. The larger caps are polar and must go in with their short leads in the square pads.
If you have a larger, cylindrical cap with 10uF marked on the side, this goes into the top most space between the pitch and A/D switches.
The resonator goes in just the same. Direction doesn't matter on.
Insert the photocell into the standoff then into the board. Make sure to fold the leads down tightly so the standoff doesn't wiggle.
Switches and Pots
There are two types of switches. One with three positions and two switches with only two positions. The switch with three positions goes in the MOD space.
All three of the potentiometers currently included with kits are 10k or 20k (marked B1 03 or B2 03 on the underside). Place one in each potentiometer space, regardless of how the PCB is marked.
If your kit is older and one of the pots is 1M (marked 05 on the bottom) and two are 10k (marked B1 03), place the 1M pot in space for LFO rate and the 10k pots in the other two spaces.
Now that all the PCB components are in and their leads are clipped, it's time to solder. We'll add the switch potentiometer and do the wiring after everything on top is soldered.
With all the top side components in. it's time to solder. First check if everything is in the correct places.
Before you solder make sure that your soldering iron is in good shape. If your tip is torn up, you might destroy the pads. The tip should be clean, shiny and not have any craters in it. If you're unsure if your iron is the right type or if you have any other questions about soldering, see bleeplabs.com/thingamagoop2 for more info.
We soldering, remember to heat the part then push the solder into the joint. Don't try and "paint" the solder on.
1 – Heat the part for 2 seconds.
2 – Push in just enough solder to cover the joint
3 – Remove solder but continue heating joint for 2 seconds.
First, solder the switches and pots. Make sure the part is perpendicular to the board before you solder it.
Next just work in lines from top to bottom so you don't miss any pads or connect any leads together.
Switch Pot
The switch pot goes in on the top let corner. Push it in and solder the middle three leads. Then use small lengths of wire or leftover resistor leads to connect the lugs on the side to the outside pads. Fold the small tab on the side out.
Battery Connector
Thread the leads of the 9V battery clip through the hole on the left side.
Solder the black wire into the square 9V pad and the red wire into the circular pad. It's best to solder and clip the extra leads as you go.
If you're building the Thingamagoop 2 RGB continue to the RGB addendum.
Output PCB.
Start by cutting and stripping the lengths of wires (your wire color might be different than shown). You should create four wires that are about six inches long and four wires that are three inches long.
Solder the four longer wires to the "G B L S" pads on the right and thread them through the hole as shown.
The shorter wires go in the "SPK" and "Button" pads. Nothing goes in the "LED" holes quite yet.
The 1/4" and 1/8" jacks go in from the bottom and are soldered on top.
Next, solder the other ends of the "SPK" wires to the speaker's pads. Polarity doesn't matter.
Now you can solder the long "G B L S" wires to their corresponding places on the main PCB as shown. Don't wire the button or LEDacle up yet.
Now it's time to test! Insert the chips into their corresponding DIPs with their text right-side up.
Before you put in a 9v battery, there are a few things to test:
- Wiring: Make sure each of the "G B L S" wires is going to the correct place.
- Chips : Are they in the correct way?
- Capacitors: Electrolytic caps on the right side have their black marks on the left, and the two 220uFs on the left side have their black marks on the right.
- Solder side: Make sure that all of the points are fully soldered. You shouldn't be able to see any of the pads or holes. Also, no two solder points should be touching each other. Use your iron to clear any bridges between pads.
Once everything looks good, turn the top middle switch up, snap in a battery and turn the switch pot on. You should be instantly delighted by bleepish noise!
If it doesn't come on and you've checked everything a couple of times, the best advice is to come back to it later. Seriously. I cannot count the number of times I have spent hours infuriated by a project, only to look at it the next day and find the problem immediately. If it's still not working, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com
There are two types of speakers included with the kits. If you got a flat one with a black cone:
Make sure no pieces of metal have become stuck to either side of the speaker. Place the screen on the speaker and set it in the enclosure.
Put the 1/4″ jack through the hole as shown and tighten the black plastic nut on the other side. There is no washer for the jack.
Put two of the 1" screws through the small holes on either side of the speaker. Center the speaker and screen and place the bracket on top. Then place a toothed lock washer, then flat washer, then nut on each screw and tighten them up by hand. Use a screwdriver to tighten them further by holding the nut with your pliers. Don't over tighten them, as you can easily squish the speaker.
If you received a speaker with a silver cone:
Put the 1/4″ jack through the hole as shown and tighten the black plastic nut on the other side. There is no washer for the jack. (Yours will have wires soldered too it of course.)
Place the screen over the slots.
Make sure no pieces of metal have become stuck to either side of the speaker and place it on the screen.
Put the screws through the back and screw them through the speakers holes until it is firmly held down.
Then tighten nuts on with your pliers.
The rest is the same for both speakers:
Put the button in the large hole on the side and use pliers to tigthen it up. Hold onto both lugs with one set of pliers and tighten with the other.
Then solder the wires from the "Button" pad to the button's lugs. Be careful to not heat the button's lugs for too long, as the plastic will melt.
The LEDacle goes in next. Put the grommet in the other hole on the top and push the LEDacle through it.
Bend the LEDacle as shown and loop it over the screw on the left. Put the star washer then flat waster over it and tigten it down with a nut.
Solder the ledacle wires to the board, making sure to put the black wire in the square hole.
Push the 9v snap through the hole in the battery box. Snap a battery a battery in and test to make sure everything is working.
Now for the front plate. Start by removing all the nuts and washers from the switches. Tun all the switches on and slide the top plate on. Place the star washers on the switches then tighten a washer on. You won't need the rest of the hardware.
Bend the volume pot inward slightly and put the plate on the enclosure.
If everything looks and sounds good you can screw the top on. Use the flat headed screws on the front panel. Then place a nut on the switch pot and tighten it up. No washer is needed.
Now that all the insides are done you can put the knobs on. Place the knobs on the potentiometer shafts with the screw facing the flat sides of the shafts. Tighten the screws up, making sure to leave about 1-2 mm of clearance between the enclosure and the knob.
The last step is to put the faces and feet on. Peel the back of the eye off to revel the adhesive and place it over the photocell. There might also me a layer of masking tape on the eyes and mouths that needs to be removed. Make sure you have it in the correct position and press it down firmly. Repeat for the mouth. The feet stick on as shown.
Have fun making noise!

Identifying and Treating Disparate Causes of MS continued...
''Clinically, we treat everyone the same," Weiner says. ''We need to think more broadly." MS, he says, maybe caused by multiple factors -- low vitamin D in one person, something else in another person, and understanding the various causes could lead to targeted treatments.
Perhaps the most controversial idea about the potential cause of MS is one proposed by Paolo Zamboni, MD, of the University of Ferrara. He suggests that an abnormality in blood drainage may contribute to the nervous system damage of MS. The condition, called chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency or CCSVI, may cause changes in blood flow patterns within the brain, in turn causing brain tissue injury and neuron degeneration, he proposes.
The ''fix" is inserting a tiny balloon or stent in the vessel to improve blood flow. The technique continues to be studied by researchers, including scientists at Stanford University and the University of Buffalo.
But many MS experts are skeptical. ''I can't see how anyone can claim this is what is causing MS," Calabresi tells WebMD. In the ongoing Buffalo research, more than half of MS patients were found to have the condition. But so did more than 20% of the healthy patients, Calabresi says.

'A postmodern novel about the members of a Montreal book club who find themselves involuntarily acting out The Epic of Gilgamesh may not sound like a crowd-pleaser, but playwright and banjo enthusiast Sean Dixon's debut novel has been a surprise success, netting many delighted readers in Canada, as well as a six-figure two-book deal in the UK. The pleasure of the book comes from Dixon's deft handling of his weightier literary themes, making it reminiscent of the kind of irrepressibly mischievous and literary novels that John Barth used to write. Call it populist pointdexterism.' – Quill & Quire

Item #13 is one of the best explanations I've seen for how haste behaves when you start really stacking on the gear. It's a "it depends" answer but it does a really good job of explaining why. If you're bad at math like me, read it slow and look back at the graph a bunch. :)

My son just graduated from Center Academy. 2 years ago we were getting hopeless. He was failing in public school. We found out he had a slight processing disorder and public school was just overwhelming for him. Center Academy was a life saver. He graduated with all A's & B's and is very excited about going to college.
Center Academy has been a true blessing for my son, Michael. Michael Began Center Academy 2 years ago, after failing at 2 other high schools. This May, 2014, He is graduating! Before he began Center Academy, we were afraid he would never graduate from high school. He has become a confident, goal oriented, young man and I attribute that to the nurturing and positive environment we found at Center Academy. Mrs. Cooper, the director, and Mr. Nelson, his primary teacher, have been wonderfully supportive and without them I do not think he would be where he is today. I am so proud of him and so happy with Center Academy!!
An interesting setting designed to assist special needs children. I would recommend this school for children who are unable to keep up in the regular school system.
Second to none for us! To begin with Mrs. Cooper, the school's Director/Principal "gets" our kids. She has bent over backwards for my son & my family :) The teacher's are extremely patient & kind yet at the same time, consistent & great educators. My son, like most, has very strong points & some weak. Reading,Spelling, Vocabulary are easy for him, as he loves it! Math is another story. The complexity, multisteps, & his lack of interest in this subject have taken a toll on him (and me) in the past. Not anymore:) He said, "Mom, you know the fractions I was struggling for months to understand ( at his prior A rated, top FCAT rated school ) to add, subtract, multiply them?" Well, he said to me, " I learned it all in one day from my teacher at Center Academy!!" Not to say the prior school didn't try but, Center Academy accomplished. I drive, on average, roundtrip to & from this school 3 hrs. a day. Why? Because this school is so worth it. Thank you Center Academy!!
My daughter has High Function Autism, ADHD, Anxiety, and Diabetes. In March of 2012 the private school that she attended couldn't attended to her needs, so the only option was public school. She don't do well going from a school under 1,000 kids to over 3,000 kids, was to overwhelming. I put her in Florida virtual school at home, that worked okay till Jan 2014, as our family was going through lots of changes and loss. I started looking for a school in Jan 2014 knowing that I felt that I would not be able to teach high school material, she needed so much extra help, I visited Center Academy and was impressed not only with the school, but the principal Ms. Cooper. The school was small perfect size for our daughter. We decided to have her finish 8th grade at Center Academy she started mid Feb 2014 and loves the school, her teacher( the best she has every had) and the staff. She is making friends with the students plus getting A and B, understanding the subjects. I have final found the school that fits my daughter perfectly, it's awesome! Thank you Center Academy for giving my daughter a place to fit in and caring about her from the first day she step into the your school.
My son has attended The Center Academy since February 2013. We pulled him out of public school in the middle of 7th grade due to the poor support we were getting regarding his IEP. Ms. Cooper and her entire staff and beyond awesome! My husband and I have been extremely happy with the progress our son has made. He was averaging C's & D's in public school and that was turned around to A's & B's. As a result he has great self esteem and is overall a happy boy again. Thank you, thank you, thank you to Center Academy for the care and patience in dealing with children who have comprehension struggles.
Great school overall director and teachers are awesome, and they give the individual attention that the children need.
From the moment you step into the building , you are greeted with a smile from a knowledgeable administrator , to a wondeful director down the hall..to brilliant teachers in every classroom, this place really is all that and more. So glad my child attends Center Academy. Corporate should focus on buying a bigger school and changing the location so everyone can see it and maybe get help for their child in need. Check it out
Our child has tremendous issues with reading comprehension and inability to retain what was being taught in the classroom. This caused a large amount of school work to be sent home for completion....homework had already become a battle ground at our house and the added school work coming home almost put us over the edge. The constant fighting about homework and school became overwhelming for our entire family and we had to find another way. With the small class size and individual attention students receive, school can be school and home can be home again. Grades have started coming up and for the first time in a long time, my child feels good about how they are doing at school and has a new confidence we haven't seen in a while.
Center Academy has been a blessing. We found center academy after having our son at two other private schools. The staff has been nothing but helpful and they have worked hard to make my sons school experience a great one. His grades and accomplishments are the true sign of what Center academy has done for him.
Since my son has attended Center Academy he is more Confident in himself. He has come so far in a short time. He was very hesitant at first to attend a private school where his friends would not be going, but I asked him to try for one year. That school year is ending and he asked me if he could go back next year. I am so with Center Academy; the individualized attention he receives, the teachers, the after-school clubs and the Director. Thank you Center Academy!!!
Since attending Center Academy my daughters grades have improved tremendously, she is more on task and on track, and also has more self esteem and compassion and seems to be just happier overall. The staff is educated and caring and seems to know how to get each child to excel to their potential, its just a wonderful place to learn.
Center Academy has changed my son's life and the entire family. He is in a nurturing caring learning environment and now getting the attention he needs to be a success. The staff are always responsive and eager to help.
Center Academy, Coral Springs Terrific High School! They even offer summer Classes. A great alternative to public school!
Center Academy - Terrific Teachers - amazing school administrator, who understands teens.... YES! someone who really understands teenagers and the frustrations of parents. If you are looking for an alternative to public high school, check out Center Academy. They even offer summer classes for credit make up. This school offers it all and is run by Mrs. Cooper, who truly is making a difference in quality education for teenagers with unique sometimes troubled learning situations. Mrs. Cooper and her staff don't give up, they turn failing students into successful students. Thank you Center Academy!
The Center Academy provides individual attention and educational programming for our son. The teachers seem to really care and take the time to get to know our son and provide what he needs to be successful.
Wonderful School Teachers are best Mrs.Cooper exceptional Thank you all of you My son wants to school everyday
Each day is a blessing my daughter has been learning so much, She has advanced so much that she tutors other kids i'm still in shock on how good she is doing and how much she has accomplished you can say we are proud parents to have a school that really focuses on the childrens education.
Center Academy is the best school my son ever attended! He used to say that he hated school before, but on his first week at CA he came home very excited that he was finally learning. That helped his self steem and gave us hope. He's now a senior, and oddly enough, I feel sad, that he's finishing High School, mixing feelings, because he's not going to get the same understanding, help, caring and attention that's used to. Mr. Nelson is a great teacher, actually all teachers are terrific, I never had any doubts about their skills, but Mr. Nelson is "the man". Mrs. Cooper also made such a difference, it was great already before her, but her energy, focus and idealism pumped up the whole structure. I can stay here all day praising the wonderful job this school has done in my son's and our lives...but I don't think anybody will read everything anyway...lol...do your homework, and go check this school out! Way to go Center Academy! thanks for all the hard work!
Thank you Ms. Cooper and the entire staff at Center Academy. My daughter is a Senior and couldn't be happier at school. The individualized attention and challenging classes are what make this Coral Springs private school so successful. Thank you for helping my daughter with her self confidence and wonderful academic assistance.

The internet helps entrepreneurs' work in a lot of other ways. With the globe wide web, you can have all the details you need at your convenience. This implies that you essentially have the whole globe at the hand of your hand.
Because of this, company owners have entry to every piece of details that can impact their businesses. We all know how cautious one must be of factors that one cannot control. The industry is a very intermittent factor in company, with individuals modifying their choices all time. Through the globe wide web, entrepreneurs' work can be prepared for any possible activities.
Having all this details also allows you to take a nearer look at competitors. What sets those companies apart? What is the competition's weakness? How can you get ahead in the market? These questions and more can be responded to by a easy google search.
The internet also allows you entry to individuals. This implies that you can arrive at important connections and create company choices quicker.

Georgia's "Dream Team" recruiting approach is getting mixed reviews from the state's top uncommitted football prospects.
Is UGA's "Dream Team" approach working with the state's football prospects?
- Yes. Just look at who UGA has committed.
- Not sure, too many big fish out there yet to announce
- No way. Just another recruiting gimmick
The "Dream Team" is the phrase borrowed by Georgia coach Mark Richt for his in-state recruiting efforts. It will be another strong year for talent among the state's top rising high school seniors, with more than 200 expected to sign major-college scholarships in February.
Richt and his assistant have been using the "Dream Team" sales pitch since early spring, telling the state's elite that if they join together and sign with Georgia next February, the Bulldogs will contend for future SEC and national championships.

Odile Dumping Heavy Rains on Southwest U.S.; Edouard Becomes a Major HurricaneBy Dr. Jeff Masters
September 16, 2014
Residents of Mexico's Baja Peninsula are picking up the pieces after devastating Hurricane Odile smashed ashore at Cabo San Lucas near 12:45 am EDT Monday as a Category 3 storm with 125 mph winds. The San Jose del Cabo airport (7th busiest in Mexico) is closed until September 22, and the Cabo San Lucas airport may be closed until October. Fortunately, no deaths are being attributed to the hurricane--a tribute to the excellence of Mexico's civil defense system for hurricanes.

What the 5th IPCC Assessment Doesn't IncludeBy Angela Fritz
September 27, 2013
Melting permafrost has the potential to release an additional 1.5 trillion tons of carbon into the atmosphere, and could increase our global average temperature by 1.5°F in addition to our day-to-day human emissions. However, this effect is not included in the IPCC report issued Friday morning, which means the estimates of how Earth's climate will change are likely on the conservative side.

I could not agree more. How arrogant and selfish to think that you can find happiness by being selfish. It is serving all of the needy and poor people that would bring her happiness, yet she totally "misses the boat" because she is a typical self-centered American woman who is discontent and never thinks she has enough, meanwhile not noticing all those who have so much less. I love your comment. p.s. I am an American woman myself, but I am appalled by most and their attitude problems.

|MSN Entertainment's 100 favorite films, 60-41
45. 'The Godfather'
"The Godfather" has been my favorite film for some time now, and I don't see that changing any time soon. Based on a rather sloppily written pulp novel by Mario Puzo about a fictional New York mob family called the Corleones, the film, as directed by Francis Ford Coppola, became something else — one of the greatest American films in history and an epic, tragic, blood-drenched meditation on the price of loyalty, the amorality of power and the loss of a single man's soul.
That man is Michael Corleone (Al Pacino), the youngest of Mafia don Vito
Corleone's (Marlon Brando) three sons and the one adamantly kept out of the
family business at first. But once an attempted hit on his father brings Michael
into the fold, he transforms into the most ruthless crime boss of all — one who
will stop at nothing to consolidate his reign. Much of the attention over the
years has gone to Brando's iconic performance, but Pacino is brilliant and
eventually frightening in the role (it's hard to imagine Robert Redford pulling
it off — as Paramount Pictures originally demanded, leading Coppola to almost
quit the production).
The rich thematic concerns of "The Godfather" rise above the source material, but it is also far from some sort of drawing room drama. The film's operatic set pieces, such as the infamous horse's head scene and the bloody surprise attack on James Caan's Sonny, are unforgettable. The jaw-dropping climax, in which Michael baptizes his nephew with a clear conscience while his minions are unleashed to settle the family's business in one sustained orgy of death, remains my favorite cinematic sequence of all time in a movie overflowing with them. — Don Kaye(Al Pacino, Marlon Brando, James Caan, John Cazale in "The Godfather"/©Moviestore Collection/Rex Features)

EMMETT TOWNSHIP (WKZO) -- Homicide Charges may be filed against an Emmett Township man who got into a fist fight with a neighbor about 2:45 Saturday morning in the 500 block of Westbrook.
Police haven't said why the two men fought, but Shane Medley was found lying on the ground in his backyard, bleeding from the head. Attempts to revive the 27-year-old failed. The neighbor was taken into custody and questioned and then released.
Neither man was said to be particularly violent. Investigators are waiting for autopsy results before submitting their investigation to the prosecutors office for possible charges.

The astonishing story of the decade-long captivity of Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight has enthralled the country. The incredible tragedy, like all good narratives, has even had a touch of comedy. The neighbor who was credited with helping Amanda Berry escape, Charles Ramsey, became a media darling after a series of colorful interviews. In one, he famously said, "I knew something was wrong when a pretty little white girl ran into a black man's arms." But now there's doubt about Ramsey's true role in this story, and whether or not he's the hero everyone has made him out to be.
Charles Ramsey has made it clear from the beginning that another neighbor, Angel Cordero, was the one who alerted him to Amanda Berry's desperate struggle to free herself of the house where Ariel Castro had been allegedly holding her and two other women for a decade. As Ramsey has told it, he was sitting in his house (eating McDonald's -- a constant theme in his interviews) when he heard a scream like a "kid got run over by a car," and saw his neighbor running to the Castro house. He has admitted that the neighbor running was really what drew his attention.
He then said in interviews that while Cordero got to the house first, he left before Amanda could get out of the house. Cordero is now disputing that account, saying that it was he who kicked down the door to free Amanda. He told an ABC affiliate:
I helped her and I was first. Ramsey arrived after she was outside with the girl. But the truth who arrived there, who crossed the street, who came and broke the door, it was me.
Ramsey has always contended that he helped Amanda kick down the door because it was chained and only her hand could fit out. Once Amanda and her 6-year-old daughter were free, he called 911 (the call is recorded, and his colorful description of events has helped make him famous). He also says he then told Amanda, "you see that f*** that didn't help you, go get his cellphone. You call 911 from his phone. That way, while I'm trying to get through and you trying to get through, we both bound to make this happen."
There is also recording of Amanda calling 911 from another neighbor's house. Sad that Ramsey felt two calls would be needed to get a response, but given the somewhat callous response of Amanda's 911 dispatcher, which is now being investigated, perhaps wise.
Now two other neighbors, Aurora Marti, and her friend, Ana, say they were the first to respond to Amanda's cries for help. They say they called to Ramsey but since their English was limited, decided to turn to their Spanish-speaking friend, Angel Cordero, for help and also say he's the one who first kicked down the door.
It may seem petty to be arguing about who helped Amanda first, but with a possible reward on the line, not too surprising. Additionally, fame can be monetized. Ramsey already has the rest beat in terms of that -- he's been memed, gif'd, and autotuned ad nauseum online. He's done the media rounds and is still doing them. He's got a GoFundMe. McDonalds tweeted that the corporation would be "in touch" with him. Spokesman deal? Free lifetime supply of McRibs?
Who knows what really happened in those adrenaline-filled moments when Amanda was first able to crack open the door to hell and scream for freedom. Given the crazy circumstances, no one may know exactly who did what first. The real story is that these women were found and everyone -- from Amanda herself to Cordero to Ramsey to the cops who first entered the house and found the other two victims -- are heroes.
If Charles Ramsey gets his 15 minutes, who cares? He may not have been the only one who helped, but he did indeed play a vital role in getting the women out. And his personality lends itself to fame. So let the man have his due.
Here's Songify's autotuned version of Ramsey's interviews:
Do you think that it matters who got there first?
Image via YouTube
I think people are fighting over it because of the money, and because Charles Ramsey said he didn't want the reward, and that it should go to the girls.
Sonia- why are you so sure he's lying? Because he's black? These people are coming out of the woodwork because money was mentioned. Plain and simple. Sickening. Ramsey as right- the only ones that deserve a reward are the girls that lived through it. PTSD and a limited skill set (since they held captive so long) will make it hard for them to gain employment and provide for their family.
I completely disagree with the author of this post. If Angel kicked the door down.. that means that Charles was lying! Why should he be regarded as the sole hero while the media ignores the one who actually did the rescuing? Should we say to hell with the facts and stick with Charles as our hero because people find him more interesting? Both men have stated they don't want any recognition and do not view themselves as heroes, but if Charles is lying and Angel did actually kick the door down.. don't you think people ought to know that?
mamatreat: what makes you so sure Angel is not telling the truth? Because he is an immigrant that does not speak english very well? I would not really say he "came out of the woodwork." It seems more to me that he has been overlooked because he is less sensational than Mr. Ramsey. He was there, he was part of the rescue, that has been confirmed. What roll he played exactly, we are unsure. But I think we should wait until we have all the facts before assuming he is just looking for money.

Nope, I don't chop my own garlic. I'm too obsessive-compulsive to do something like that, because each tiny smidgen of garlic would have to be exactly the same size and shape. It would take me hours to get each piece to be exactly 1/16th of a millimeter.
Instead, I use the garlic press. I know, I know….real chef's don't use this ugly contraption. But, I get some sort of pleasure from squishing the hell outta a chunk of vegetable and getting a squirt of puree land on my cutting board. Its a very satisfying sound.
I'm not coordinated enough to do the Martin Yan move – where he whacks the unsuspecting clove of garlic with the side of his fat Chinese cleaver. I got the warrior-yell down pat "whhhhoooooppppaaaaaccchhhhaaaawwww!!!!" but adding a sharp instrument with a kung-fu like swing is way too dangerous for me. I can barely hit a whipple ball with a golf club!
I recently made a garlic press review video for one that I really like.
Hi, what kind of garlic press do you use? The ones I've used have created more work than made things easier, requiring me to peel the garlic before hand, and mashing the garlic into a pulp that doesn't even come out the other side — leaving a press that is really hard to clean. I've been in search of a good one though, if you're in the sharing mood!

Graphic Content At Cannes
ANNE-CHRISTINE POUJOULAT/AFP/Getty Images
French actress Charlotte Gainsbourg and her husband Yvan Attal arrive for the screening of the movie "Antichrist" directed by Danish director Lars Von Trier in competition at the 62nd Cannes Film Festival on May 18, 2009. Gainsbourg, known for her cool, rock tinged, bohemian style was considerably more dressed up for the Cannes premiere of Antichrist than she was for the photo call earlier in the day, but was decidedly casual in a figure skimming, runched graphic print mini-dress and strappy, power heels. Fellow Cannes stars such as Abbie Cornish were decked out in frills, trains and chiffon on their special night, but Gainsbourg played it low key. Antichrist, also starring Willem Dafoe polarized Cannes audiences with its graphic scenes of sex to the extent of eliciting simultaneous boos and cheers. Gainsbourg's dress combines two trends we have been seeing lately, graphic print dresses and animal prints. Was Charlotte's style appropriate for a festival such as Cannes? See more photos here.

We here at Ramblin' Fan have been calling for the Rams front office to make a move to bring in more talent at the skill positions for several months, and it looks like they finally listened. The team traded a late-round draft consideration to Baltimore for wide receiver Mark Clayton. Clayton was made available after the Ravens signed TJ Houshmandzadeh to a one-year deal earlier in the day. I know many of you would have rather had Housh, but I really think Clayton is a better fit for this team. At this point in his career, Housh is more of a possession/slot receiver, and pretty much everyone we have on our roster is pretty much the same receiver. Clayton is more of a dynamic option who can stretch the field for Sam Bradford and company, and I think he will be a good fit.
Here is some background info on Clayton. He was the Ravens' first round pick in 2005 out of Oklahoma, and he has started at least 10 games in every season since he came into the league. Clayton's best year was probably 2006, when he caught 67 passes for 939 yards and seven touchdowns. Last year he had 34 receptions for 480 yards and two touchdowns.
Clayton has widely been regarded as a bust since he came into the league, but no one doubts that the skill set is there. He had a nice preseason this summer, and he beat out Donte Stallworth for the third receiver job before the deal. This could be a case of Clayton needing a change of scenery, and I really hope that's the case. In fact, as I'm writing this and watching NFL Live on ESPN, Adam Schefter just said that he thinks the Rams are the winners of the day. Gotta love that.
In more receiver news, the team is apparently interested in the recently released Demetrius Williams, as he is expected to work out for the team. There were some rumors that Williams was a part of the Clayton deal, but that is not true. I'd like to see the team give Williams a chance, as I really ejoyed watching him in college while he was at Oregon. Still, there is a chance he could be a part of this team, so stay tuned.
