There is a match tonight and it's a big match, but between now and the end of the season, we've got fifteen big matches. Fifteen cup finals if you want and that really is how everyone should look at them.
There isn't an excuse that is acceptable. There isn't a way out. There is no place to hide. If we don't pick up the necessary points it is because we were not good enough.
And if we're not good enough, you've not got to look far. But we shouldn't think about the unthinkable right now.
So we have the first of those cup finals tonight and this is another six pointer. Win and we go ahead of Newcastle. Anything other than a win and by close of business tomorrow night, we could find ourselves 19th and if we do and you're not going to like me writing this; the future wont be very bright.
But there is a chance. There is a chance that Newcastle, who are just one place above us in the current form table, are worse than us. There is a chance that with these changes they are likely to make, it backfires. Bringing in new players doesn't mean things get better.
So, we'll be here for tonight. We'll be here a few hours before kick off and we'll be here, fingers crossed, feeling optimistic that it will come good tonight. It will come good with Lambert, the fear is that it takes too long. If we go down, we might not come straight back up and by then, we'll just be happy to be playing in this league. Relegation will be the death of this club unless we get a new owner.
So right now, you can probably tell I don't feel that optimistic and while the odds for this match at PaddyPower make us the favourites at 6/4, I fancy the 7/4 you'll get on Newcastle is a good price.
But the optimism will return later, it always does. Thirty minutes before kick off I'll believe we can beat Barcelona. And tonight is a cup final. If we play like it is and give everything, anything is possible. I've talked myself into a bet on us in two paragraphs.
But before I go, to the statement. I've not seen it, just seen bits, but I wanted to write that it wasn't Lerner that wrote this. It was a PR firm. It was a communication specialist. These are just words and they mean nothing. What we need is Lerner to be put in a room with supporters and for it to be filmed and for him to now know what is coming, although you'd have to be a very bad PR firm or communication specialist to know what questions are not going to be asked.
And, in days gone by, the owner publicly backing the manager was usually a signal that he didn't have long left. Could it be that if we get spanked tonight change is coming? There is only Wednesday and Thursday but a lot can happen in two days and it isn't impossible for those things to happen for us.
Guzan, Vlaar, Clark, Bennett, Baker, Lowton, Westwood, Bannan, N'Zogbia, Benteke and Bent start. On the bench we have Given, Ireland, Lichaj, Holman, Gabby, Weimann and Bowery.
Honest view; I'm not sure about lining up with three central defenders. It promotes attacking from the wing-backs and you've got to have bags of experience to do that. Our wing-backs are also actually full-backs and they've only really played this way since they came to us and it hasn't exactly been something we've done for a long time or very successfully.
I'll write it now; three, five, two isn't the future.
Vancouver said "The really frustrating thing for me is we could have turned this around a month ago for as little initial outlay as 5.5m",,then why didnt Lambert bring this type of player out of the 23 mil he spent,,no instead he said he didnt trust experienced players,,Lambert is every bit as much to blame as Learner,,
""Lambert was delighted to see the crowd rise to applaud the players off at the final whistle, despite the 2-1 loss to Newcastle.",,,is this true,there was a standing ovation,,if true there is something seriously wrong with the fans who are going to Villa Park,"
This is what makes Villa the greatest club in the country. Those fans, not the fans on here.
You can not fault this team for effort.
ah well tried 2nd half they heard me shouting me bolix off, nothing changes we r ****e, wieman is a god. great lad. bannon v cabaye, sissoko v westwood, trhere is the difference, geordies shlt themselves second half hung on but we are stiil ****e, what did randy mean by support ? is it money or his penis
Nothing wrong with 2nd half performance and every fan alike would applaud their effort, If anything it just went to show just how tactically inept Lambert was in the 1st half, Every Villa fan on here and further a field have been calling for a change in formation and go with a 442 because that is were the players look more comfortable, Our manager decided to wait till the 2nd half on the 29 Jan 2013 when we were 2-0 down and it would not surprise me in the slightest if the players demanded it at half time, His tactics have cost us points not everyone can be wrong from radio and sky pundits alike, The same mistake is been made every game, It would not surprise me if he started the next game with 3 at the back, I don't think he is the man for the job, I also do not think the names that are floating around like Curbs and RDM are the right men either, It's very bleak
If vitals turned things must be bad!
I think self-immolation outside villa park is the only way to get Randy's attention nowadays.
Yes its come to that. I would do, but the price of petrol......
John Gregory a great shout! Passion and not afraid to upset anyone and thats why Lerner won't touch a man like him! You've got to tow the party line to be a Villa manager now. Did you see all the stewards in the holte watching out for negative banners so they could pounce and pull them down, I thought we were in communist North Korea for a minute!!!! Diabolical tactics Lambert and you had the gall to blame the players for the first half performance. Lambert won't be sacked and we won't sign anyone and we all know this. Lerner hang your head in shame!!!1
The club are rolling over....absolutely pathetic bunch of people running our club. RL is guilty of gross negligence. I'm quite sure he now wants Villa to be in the Championship. It's blindingly obvious to anyone that the club needed to sign players this window, yet the club have done F all when it was absolutely necessary to get experienced players in to survive in the Prem. This is gross negligence in itself, let alone all the other F ups they've made. Why is it again and again for many years now, the club just don't move or do anything while clubs around us act. We are always so slow to do anything, if we do it at all. The kind of people running our club are the kind of people that if faced with a fight would run in the opposite direction, or if they had to go into war would be branded cowards(and in previous times shot for it!). Apathetic bunch of gutless wonders.
Randy Lerner...what are you doing!?!? Fans have just about had it with you messing around with OUR club! That's right it is OURS, not yours! Aston Villa FC belongs to the fans, not a spoilt little rich brat. I suggest you get off your backside and get over to England and sort the mess out that YOU have created. You can start with dismissing your side-kick(PF) and get in someone with some football knowledge and an experience of running a football club. You need to own up to your mistakes and start putting them right. If you do not have the capacity or ability (or balls) to do that, then please allow someone else to come in and take your place. You are treading on thin ice...I don't think you would want to fall through it. Do you?
Gross Neg
I totally agree with you, how can a man that bought a historic club for less money than the transfer of Ronaldo,debt free. start austerity through the **** ups of previous staff. have a gamble again you tight person you cant take it with you. Imagine the the many thousands of loyal fans that will once again be proud of the silent YANK or is that w**k? . You only need to give us a couple o quid we will give it u back when we survive . COME ON RANDY PUT UP OR SELL UP.
Absolutely gutted. Shouldn,t be as i strongly fancied newcastle to beat us tonight. But didn,t we all expect to lose. This is absolute torture. How could anyone who loved the Villa just sit back and allow this to happen. Its blindingly obvious we need a change and yet NOTHING at all except backing from lerner for the man whos gonna take us down. What is going on lerner. Are you f#cking comatose. DO SOMETHING BEFORE ITS TOO LATE, YOU MUPPET !
As for Lambert - Why is Lambert keep playing this 3-5-2 system?
It hasn't worked before and didn't again today.
it ended up as a bizarre 5-2-1-2 in first half . We were playing with a flat back five and 2 in midfield !
Its no ****ing wonder Westwood and Bannan were completely over run and we pushed deep from kick off.
He changed it at half time thankfully but Lambert ****ed up big time again with his tactics first hallf.
I didn't go the game today but listened to the atmosphere on 5 live and saw highlights, the fans sounded great second half. Applauding effort and not intolerant of the occasional lack in quality. Bannan looked ok second half. A difficult run of fixtures in Feb now considering our situation (though we should be targeting West Ham), but if we play like we did second half we might even surprise a team or two.
I am a little disappointed with how Lerner could have handicapped the future of this club for a couple of years for that one shot at the Champions League, but we're a big club and the potential is always there. I'm not against the idea of trying to run the club at a profit, if that's what he's now trying to do. The problem is it's difficult to know if they have a plan or not...
Despite that I'm still backing the team. Here's hoping for a result soon! UTV!
George your right,,,i was sick at the end of the game,the last thing i wanted to do was stand up and clap,,what the hell is wrong with these people,,how the hell will the club get the message if people are standing up and clapping when we loose at home to a team who have not won away all season and are one place above us,,im baffled,,
effort was there in 2nd half after a terrible first half which was very much to do with Lamberts tactics and formation as it was to do with Newcastle being up for it and having new players. Lambert completely got it wrong in first half although i guess we should be grateful he finally noticed at half time.
Mr Lerner should be ashamed of himself of pulling the plug completely during this window. He hired an unexperienced manager to manage a mess of a team and squad. He should at least back him . Yes Lambert should have done more in summer maybe with funds he was given but to pull the plug completely this window has been nothing short of a disaster .
Lambert took over a bizarre odds and sods collection of players .
And as terrible as we have been there was a few games were a player or two like that Sisoko lad would have made a vital difference in some of our results over this month.
The sheer ammount of games Clark has had to play and Bannan when clearly struggling with form is unforgiveable. Lowton has dramatically faded in last month . Bennett has been dumped into the deep end . These type of players were meant to play every single game of the season ?
Well we've seen the results now . 18th in league , worst goal difference and with some of most ridiculous Villa stats i have ever known.
There was plenty of warning last season just how close we came to relegation . If you were going to hire a rleative inexperienced manager to turn things around my God you had to back him in both windows.
Lerner you are playing a beyond stupid game and your stewardship of the club has been disastrous these past few years and nothing short of disgusting.
Why dont people get it,, Lambert is a liar,he took the job knowing he would relegate us,he bought players for us to play in the championship as was ordered by Lerner,no other manager would take a job with the intention of relegating a club except Lambert,,he is as much a scumbag as Lerner,,,Lamberts job is to bring us down to the wages of the Champ,which means playing in the champ,,every time we are doing well in a game ie UTD,West brom etc he will change the team in a way to make sure we loose,,i hate Lambert as much as Lerner and Fatty,,,,,,,,angry
Ozzy are you stupid or something,,,Revenue has nothing to do with it,a championship Villa will not bring in high revenue but he has no problem with us been relegated,,Randy dont give a **** about revenue,he just made over a billion from the sale of the browns,he is not short of a few bob,,he just wants to own a football club whether its in the PL or the championship makes no difference to him,,its a plaything for the rich,,if he was concerned about money he would make sure we stay up,,he just wants to tell his buddies in america he owns a football club and his buddies dont know the difference between the PL and the champs,
It easy to see why Newcastle had no qualms about paying £1.8m for a player who would have been available on a free in the summer. "Sissoko really grabbed the game by the horns and that's what we needed," Alan Pardew, the Newcastle manager, said.
The 23-year-old's threaded pass for the opening goal was sublime, exposing Nathan Baker's inexperience. The Villa defender was caught ball-watching as Cissé drifted off his shoulder before spinning into the inside-right channel. By the time Baker got his feet moving, Cissé was bearing down on goal and preparing to slip the ball under Brad Guzan. It was tempting to wonder what was going through Lambert's mind at the time, given that the Villa manager had identified Sissoko as a transfer target earlier in the month. What a difference he would have made to Villa's desperately poor midfield.

I dont think we would have lost yesterday if the formation wasn't 3-5-2 or 5-3-2. The best for us is the 4-2-3-1. I hope Lambert realized that. I think that Bent and Benteke can not play together in that formaition. We only need a CB and a ball winning midfielder. Hangeland and Diame. Lambert has to forget Bannan in the holding role, KEA and Delph for me.

Won 4 league games all season and its simply not good enough. Randy should either spend £10/£20m plus wages to bring in a couple of much needed players or sack PL at a cost of around £2m and probably bring in one of the unemployed old guard of manager. Doing nothing is not an option, Lambert looks and sounds out of his depth he has no experience of fighting relegation - something I would have thought essential for managing our club - another Lerner/Faulkner failure!
Beginning to wonder if Lerner fears being in the Premier next season more than he fears being in the Championship.
Watching The Villa in August/September this scenario was obvious.
It's blatantly apparent that if things stay the way they are, Villa can't fight their way out of a paper bag so unless we get a couple of players in things won't improve but why weren't the club looking at getting someone in before the transfer window opened? Months ago we were calling for a decent centre midfielder but the board clearly weren't!
The club has been run by a bunch of muppets for a few years now and it's time to pay the piper!
We are not getting any players and the only chance Lamberk keeps us up is 442 till the end of season and Gabby,Weiman,Benteke and Nzog starting every game(injuries permittting) in a 442 with 2 out of Delph,Westwood and KEA in the middle.He does this and we have a slight,slight chance.I tell you something though if i see a 352/532 agaisnt Everton Sat im gonna put my foot straight through the telly!!!!!!!!!!!
Now Norwich look like they are going to start spending, we will soon be cut adrift.
An out of depth manager and an out of touch owner - we should not be surprised at where we find ourselves!
If Dunne is fit, he has to come into the team against Eveton. That way Baker could be switched to LB as Bennett is having a torrid time at the moment. 4-2-3-1 has to be the formation as this 3-5-2 is not suited to the players and moving Clarke into the defensive midfielder position will give the defence much needed protection. Bannan should be replaced with Ireland as the creative midfielder. My team to face Everton as follows:
Lowton, Vlaar, Dunne, Baker
Clarke, Westwood,
Wiemann, Ireland, Nzogbia
Give it up guys, look at that picture of lerner Damian's put on the front page. That's lerner!
We've got parachute payments, he doesn't see the football league as an abyss.
Why did we play 5 - 3 - 2 at home against our relegation rivals??
Back four of Lichaj ----- Lowton-------Vlaar --------- Baker or
Lowton ---------Vlaar ---------- Clark ------ Baker--------
could not have been any worse then what we produced in the first 45 minutes.
The manager cost us that game last night again, due to his stubbornness and poor tactics...
I think lambert was told to take us down and we can then get rid of all the hign wage earners.Does this sound possible to you! I really do think this is the case.
Lowton - Vlaar - Clark - Baker
Delph - Westwood
Weimann - Nzog - GAbby
Dunne has a setback, I hardly see him to get a match in a Villa shirt again. Lambert considere CLark a CB so he wont play him in midfield, but he can be better than we have at the moment.
This club is on its knees at the moment, something drastic needs to happen in the next couple of days for this club to get out this mire, be it a change of manager or a couple of new players.
Lambert is so out his depth it's untrue, he looks like a zombie on the sidelines.
Its a pity we can't play our remainig games all away, our form at villa park is a total joke,the players cannot handle the pressure.
I think you make a very good point in that perhaps Lerner has grown tired of the grief of being in the Premier League, which lets face it you only win with shed loads of money and investment, and would feel more comfortable and perhaps appreciated if we were in the Championship. He is of course deluded, and I think he underestimates that league in thinking we would bounce straight back at the first attempt. Typical of an owner and CEO with no football knowledge.
Lambert's interview with Pat Murphy on 5Live was embarrasing.
I did notice a tear in Lambert's eye yesterday as it dawned on him just how many tactical errors he's made this season.
Every good half we have played I feel we have created enough chances to win the game in that half alone. Not finishing or that bit of luck deserting us which we really need at the moment. I would be really worried if we wasn't creating any chances, just need that midfielder to sit in the middle of the park to protect our defence
good morning,
cant add much to whats allready been said.
so ill talk about the fans.30,000 against newcastle is an indication of whats to come.take off their fans,and probably 27,000 villa fans.
there lies the warning.how long before the gates drop even further.
but for those that actually applauded them at the end.you are doing as much damage as lerner and lambert.
well for those of you,i hope your happy when we do go down.you deserve it.
as for the rest of the villa fans.im as gutted as you.we feel the passion,anger,rage dispair and all the emotions of real villa fans.
for you i feel total sympaphy.
Morning mate, now you are going to hate me for reminding you about this but you and me are a similar age we both went home and away down to the third division moaning about Norman Smith and then moaning about Doug but we were no different because we supported the team no matter how s**t we were. No different to todays fans.
Was at the game last night and must say, it was a strange atmosphere at the end with the Villa fans giving the team an applause - to be honest i joined in. The effort of the lads in second half was immense and we peppered the newcastle goal - first half was attorcious.
The formation is a massive issue, 4-2-3-1 is the way forward for us and the 3 behind benteke must be nzogbia, weimann and agbonlahor.
We desperately need a strong physical presence in that holding role, i think westwood alongside "that player" will shore us up there.
In addition to that, our back 4 needs desperately addressing.
I like to read between the lines and from what i heard yesterday pre and post match, yes there is money to spend, but very little. The issue was wages, he missed out on a couple of targets because the player chose higher wages (naturally). In offloading Warnock and Hutton, we've free'd up some capacity, but it might be too late.
Take a look at the squads of the top 6, they are fairly limited in terms of opportunities for loan signings of experienced players who will walk in to our team and make an impact.
So what do we do? Unfortunately, go with what we've got. Lambert must take slack for his tacticial approach to the game, but he will say he can only use the tool's he as got (probably a very appropriate word!)
Realistic targets for me (realistic in a sense of fee, availability and impact):
Paul Scharner
Chris Samba
Tom Huddlestone

For those of you who applauded the team off last night thanks for sentencing us to relegation! Support the team during the game but let Lambert know what you think after. This deluded bloke now thinks we were applauding him and so does Lerner which 100% will result in him keeping his job and no new players in. Well i hope you'll be applauding in the championship next season because that's where we'll be with Lambert still in charge. Can you not see what's happening for god's sake, wake up because if you think relegation is a good thing you are on a par with Lambert. You've missed the chance to let them both know how we feel and good old Lerner would have been sitting in the good old USA counting his millions with a smile on his face. Lambert the most inept manager I've ever seen in my life and Lerner the worst owner of our club there's ever been. Good combination and I hope your happy with them both because if your one of them who applauded you deserve them!!!! Before you start bringing the loyalty card out, i'll be at everton on Saturday giving it my all but another loss will result in me telling the chuckle brothers what I think again and no one will stop me!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a season ticket in the holte end , i have done for 30 years , last night i was a corporate guest in the trinity , watching the game from the side , rather than from behind the goal was an eye opener , i run a youth team u21s , if we dont play well i lose it with them , unfortunately watching Lambert last night he clearly is just going through the motions of being a Premier manager , he stands on the side , he claps the players but he doesnt seem to have any tactical nonce , except for hit the big man , he proved this the last 20 mins v bradford , his assistant is even worse with his aeroplane take off hand gestures , Lambert is ruining westwood , lowton , bannan and bennet by playing them altogether at once , our midfield is so weak it is embarrasing , bringing Weimman and Gabby on to push forward papers over the cracks . Those two players really care and put there bodies on the line for the villa , Nzogbia is playing for a move and who can blame him , there were rumours in the press box of David Bentley , Malouda on loan and Charlie Adams from Stoke , with bent going the other way , but i fear it is all to little to late ,
Heard rummors around villa park that bent will go to stoke to replace crouch when he goes to qpr!
Is lambert a misunderstood genius or a complete fuxcing idiot ??? How can this guy get back to back promotions and be so inept tactically ??? Is he the greatest blagger in football history !!! It makes no sense
Picked up on this comment from Ozzy last night. The difference is, Lambert evolved a bunch of League 1/Championship players and took them into the Premiership. They managed to get their way out of two tough divisions, were on a fantastic run and took that form into the Premier League.
Lambert has now tried to fast track this philosophy in the Premier League with Villa and it just hasn't worked out at all. The team hasn't evolved through time and most of the squad is not good enough for this league, and this includes most of our own youngsters (who aren't youngsters anymore). Did he think this transformation would occur overnight? Was he simply hoping that players like Joe Bennett would step up within a month or two?
You have to mingle youth with experience, not make radical changes and rely totally on squad players. Up until this seasn, Clarke, Baker, Bannan, Delph amongst others were only squad players but we are relying on them now and the worst thing is they are not even alongside experienced or in form players. No leaders on the pitch and no one to guide those wobbly youngsters. NZogbia has started to play well, but that is the only real improvement I have seen from anyone.
I agree that Westwood and Lowton have looked decent but again, they are playing in such a weak team that the workload/responsibility on them is immense.
To be fair to Lambert, he has said many a time that he is working under heavy financial constraints and this has obviously dictated the lack of transfer activity and the type of player he can bring in but surely if he managed to pick up Benteke and Vlaar from the continent, there were similar bargains to be had?
mate different times,different circumstances.
we were rising from the ashes of bankrupcy in those days.plus it still didnt stop us letting the villa know how we felt.i remember many a game of less than 20,000 before we rose from the ashes.
plus football was cheap to watch,it was the working mans sport.
now it costs an arm and a leg,and we have live football on tv,computers etc.
but my point,is that a fair few fans today,follow football as a fashion and hobby.they dont get emotionally envolved as we used to.
im not talking about all the fans.
but we know the ones im on about.of course most are still the same.but a few thousand definitaly fit the bill im on about.
Wonder if there is any odds on us playing in league one come 2014, must be worth a few quid given how the moronic board are running this club and heaven forbid if lamberk remains in charge next season, the mumbling buffoon will relegate us again.
Lets face it lamberk can't even speak clearly without bumbling some crap and he thinks he can patronise the fans with his usual 'we go again' bull****'. He is a fraud, an embarrassment of a manager who does not deserve to be associated with our great club.
Forget signings, we won't be making any nor would I give lamberk a penny. Other than Benteke every other signing is sub standard, why give money to someone who thought turds like lowton, bennett and el crapmadi were good enough for this once proud club.
thing is mate,any other manager,would have known you cant apply those methods in this league.
that alone proves lambert to be out of his depth.
and i think we are wasting our time naming players we need.
if we cant afford the likes of sassiko at £1.8 mill.who the hell can we afford.
some of you have all named players that would fit the bill.and none of them would cost the earth.
thats how far we have fallen.
sad sad days.
I still think Lerner might dump Lambert once the window is shut then the next manager cant have any money to spend.
Mr Lerner you are killing Aston villa sell the club to someone who is interested in football as your surely not. Nobody got rich owning a soccer club villa needs funds the fans do their best but you just want to make money
Sorry randy you've failed along with mr Faulkner so do villa supporters a favour and sell

How to Send Flowers on the Cheap
Recession Mama Michele Ashamalla: I love flowers. I like to give them to people, and occasionally I like to buy them for myself. Yes, I know they last longer in nature; I also know that some people regard them as a waste of money. But sometimes it's nice to be able to give someone a beautiful thing that won't pack on the pounds.
I have a few tips for arrangements that won't break the bank. If you live in a metropolitan area that has a flower market where florists buy their flowers, by all means, go there first -- the prices there can't be beat. If that's not an option, flowers at farmers' markets are generally a good deal. Stick around until the market is closing up, and you can get beautiful bunches for practically nothing.
Costco and supermarkets (especially Trader Joe's) are good places for a bouquet. Costco has a standing deal on roses that runs about $14 for two dozen. Most supermarkets have lots of choices. I find the arrangements to be pretty pricey, but the bouquets can be very reasonable -- especially if they're a weekly special. Take a plain bouquet and ask for a rewrap with some greenery and a ribbon. Some markets will do it for free; others will charge a couple of bucks.
Also, I like to patronize the local flower shops. I bring in my own vase or basket, or buy a fun ceramic pitcher at T.J. Maxx or Ross (look in the clearance section first) and take that into the shop. A friend of mine glues pencils all around a coffee can and ties it with a thick ribbon for a teacher's arrangement. Just tell the store what you're looking to spend, and they can fill your container and arrange it.
Lastly, I've had some good experiences with online florists. I buy when there are great specials, use Internet coupons and combine that with cashback. I ordered for myself a couple of times and was pleased with the quality, but most sites have a lot of mixed reviews. They're good to use in a pinch for gifts for out-of-towners, but I find that presentation of a bouquet in a cute container is nicer for the locals.
I am a florist, and first of all, a wholesale florist does not sell to the public. Second of all, there is a difference of design and flower quality from a florist as opposed to a grocery store. We buy from different farmers, and we refuse older flowers, where as grocery stores do not. Also, we do not like to use outside containers because our containers are for the most part inexpensive, and we are liable if anything were to happen to it. Most people don't realize you're better off going to a florist instead of an online order gatherer. They take 30% of the order total and do not give us any shipping and handling fees they charge their customers.
Our downtown flower market is open to the public and I've never had a problem with local florists using my containers. Also, I haven't practiced law in a while, but I don't believe you would not be liable for anything if a customer used their own container. You, as a florist, provide a wonderful service. I am just trying to help people afford your service more oftn!

A very well-known piece of Classical Music. Written by Johann Pachelbel, it is a canon in passacaglia form, based on an ostinato (repeating) bass melody. The piece is usually performed with a string orchestra, but arrangements of it exist for almost every standard ensemble you can think of. Though Pachelbel was largely forgotten after his death (noted primarily for being a family friend/music tutor of the Bachs and thus indirectly influencing the works of J. S.), this piece's rediscovery in 1919 skyrocketed him to fame, albeit of the One-Hit Wonder variety.Enjoy it by clicking here.It is also known by the names "Canon in D", "Pachelbel's Canon in D", and "Kanon D-dur" (the German name, meaning "D major Canon"). The piece is, of course, in D major—Exactly What It Says on the Tin. This hasn't stopped it from being misattributed to everyone under the sun, particularly Mozart.It's commonly featured in collections of "light" or "soothing" music, and is often played at weddings. It is also a popular selection for use in Public Domain Soundtracks. It's the Free Bird of classical music, exacerbated by its own repetitiveness: cellists in particular detest it because it involves playing the same 8-note progression 27 times without variation.The piece is the Trope Namer and Trope Codifier for the Pachelbel's Canon Progression.
It has been used in the following works:

Reader Blog: Blowing up the 2010 Chicago Cubs and Building the 2011 Chicago Cubs.
Since the destruction of the 2010
Chicago Cubs is imminent, I figured I'd go through and see who I
would and wouldn't want out of this organization if it were me,
starting from the top.
Jim Hendry Must Go. The man has an
inability to spend money the right way. Sure, he's pulled off some
monster trades (Derrek Lee, Aramis Ramirez and Kenny Lofton, Rich
Harden) and he's had his fair share of great free agent signings
(Reed Johnson, Ted Lilly) But the vast majority of his signings and
extensions have left the team severely handicapped. In short, The
Chicago Cubs will NOT win a World Series under Hendry, and that's the
goal, isn't it?
The Replacement: I don't claim to know
a lot of front office guys in the MLB, but if it were my decision,
it'd make sense to draw guys from the organizations that build teams
the right way and are regularly competitive (Boston, either LA team,
Lou Piniella is an old man. He doesn't
want to be in Chicago, he wants to be in Tampa with his grandkids. He
needs to be replaced immediately. His coaching staff, on the other
hand, is something I'd keep intact. Larry Rothschild and Lester
Strode can stay, as can Mike Quade, Ivan DeJesus, Alan Trammel and
Rudy Jaramillo. However, to me, Matt Sinatro seems more like
Piniella's little helper than a real coach, so I say he needs to exit
as well.
The Replacement: Bob Brenly is probably
my favorite candidate, as I get to listen to his opinions on the team
most days. Steve Stone could be an interesting choice. Bobby
Valentine isn't really doing much and he could be a good option.
Tim Wilken isn't going anywhere. After
all, under him, the Cubs have developed a wealth of young talent
(Starlin Castro, Andrew Cashner, Tyler Colvin) and the farm system
still has a decent amount to offer (Jay Jackson, possibly Darwin
Barney). Wilken has earned his pay, and there is no reason for him to
be fired
And now, to the roster
The Starting rotation needs to be blown
up. Zambrano needs to be put on waivers or traded. Lilly needs to be
shipped to Minnesota or somewhere. Wells needs to go back to Triple
A. And the Cubs need to sign Cliff Lee to be the Ace of the
Rotation. Jay Jackson is called up to start and Tom Gorzelanny is
used in the rotation. When everything is said and done, my rotation
reads Lee-Dempster-Silva-Gorzelanny-Jackson.
The relief corps was criticized early
in the season as the reason the Chicago Cubs had done so poorly.
However, don't look now, but which Chicago team's bullpen has an ERA
of 2.80 in June. Carlos Marmol, Andrew Cashner and Sean Marshall
shouldn't be going anywhere. All three are young guys who have really
excelled in their roles. Jeff Stevens has proven that he has the
ability to be a solid middle reliever for years to come. However that
leaves four spots open. Bob Howry is an old man and John Grabow can't
throw strikes on a regular enough basis to deserve his spot, but our
good buddy Jim Hendry decided to give him a pretty hefty contract,
basically forcing him onto the 2011 roster barring an injury. Those
five, Marmol, Cashner, Marshall, Stevens and Grabow are fairly solid
pieces in the pen. However, the other two spots can be fairly fluid
in 2011. John Gaub, James Russell and Blake Parker are all
interesting options and Jeff Samardzija is having a nice year in
Iowa, so he may finally be able to pull it all together and finally
be an effective major league pitcher again.
Onto the Position players, first
striking at catchers. There really isn't much to say about the Cubs'
catchers. Geovany Soto has largely done his job this year, and Koyie
Hill is an adequate back-up. If either goes down, Wellington Castillo
also has the ability to be a quality backstop.
First base is the most interesting
issue for the Cubs. Derrek Lee should not be re-signed. There are two
angles to go with this problem. The Cubs could sign Carlos Pena to
mash homers for them after this season, or they could sign a stopgap
for 2011 and wait until next year to sign a big first baseman. Prince
Fielder, Adrian Gonzalez and Albert Pujols are all available after
the 2011 season. Pujols probably won't hit free agency, but the other
three likely will. Personally, I'd like to see Pena in a Cubs
Second Base is arguably the biggest
dilemma. O-Dog and Felipe Lopez are available, But I'd personally
like to see the Cubs inquire upon the availability of Chone Figgins,
Jose Lopez, Aaron Hill or Dan Uggla. I personally like Figgins
because he fills the leadoff void which desperately needs to be
filled on the North Side, and he's underperformed exponentially in
regard to his contract, so Chicago may be able to pull off another
swap of bad contracts with the M's. Perhaps the M's are somewhat
interested in Fukudome?
Third Base is pretty obvious. Ramirez
isn't going anywhere after this year, and if he performs in 2011, he
isn't going anywhere until after 2012. Likewise with Shortstop and
Left Field, Starlin Castro and Alfonso Soriano are stationary, albeit
for different reasons.
A lot of people have been impressed
with Marlon Byrd's hustle and hitting prowess this year. However,
it's no secret that one always needs to sell high. Assuming Brett
Jackson is ready or close to being ready at the end of the year, I'd
trade Byrd during the offseason and install Jackson as the starting
centerfielder. If not, I keep Byrd until Jackson is ready.
Finally, Tyler Colvin has more than
proven that he can hit major league pitching. The kid has earned his
right to play, and it's the job of the manager, whether it be Lou
Piniella or anyone else, to give him the playing time he deserves.
Fukudome needs to be traded. The Red Sox are rumored to be looking
for a defensive out fielder, and eating half the money on Fuke's
contract could possibly get him to Boston for a half-way decent minor
On the bench, I like Hill or Castillo,
along with Ryan Theriot and Jeff Baker. Sam Fuld would be my fourth
outfielder, and I'd sign someone like Mike Jacobs as a backup first
baseman. He's got a fairly decent glove and massive pop in his bat.
Perfect as a guy to come off the bench and pinch hit.
In conclusion, I leave you, the
GoatReaders with how I'd love to see this roster built for the 2010
season. I personally doubt that any of the deals I'd make are deals
that Hendry or his successor would attempt to make, but regardless, I
think that the team I propose here could win.
Subtracting the Money owed to Derrek
Lee, Ted Lilly and Carlos Zambrano and perhaps half the money owed to
Fukudome (as we can't expect anyone to want to trade for the WHOLE
contract), and adding a 20 million per year contract for Cliff Lee, a
15 Million per year contract for Carlos Pena and the 9 Million per
year contract for Chone Figgins, the Cubs spend roughly 7-8 Million
less in 2011 according to my plan that they do in 2010 before
arbitration raises.

Reader's Blog: The Bullpen
It's no secret that the Cubs' bullpen is hurt. Their biggest need is for someone other than Marshall to step up in the 7-8th innings. Prefferably a right hander. So lets see if we can find some of the late inning right handers for Big Jim Hendry to target.
- Jason Frasor's name has been floated around for a while. However, he's not going to be on the trading block until the Jays fall out of competition. Some of us are wary about Frasor's rather large numbers, especially the 4.74 ERA. This is, however, not as huge deal as it would seem in my opinion. After a dismal April to the tune of an 8.38 ERA, Frasor has buckled down in May to wonderful ERA just under one.
- JJ Putz is currently laboring on the South Side of Chicago. He currently has an ERA just under four, which is nice, but one also has to keep in Mind that Putz pitches in an extremely hitter friendly park. A move to Wrigley could potentially drop his ERA a bit further.
- I personally hate Bobby Jenks. But I think he could be a huge help to the bullpen on the North Side. Jenks sports an ERA of 4.20, but that is a bit misleading. They must be playing some awfully bad defense on the South Side, because Jenks BABIP is at an astronomical .460. Thus, expect Jenks to improve quite a bit, especially with a move out of The Cell
- Chad Qualls, like Jenks, has been suffering from a case of Bad luck. A BABIP of .457 simply will not last in this game. Expect Qualls to return to his usual self. In fact, he could be even better if his K/9 rating continues to stay so high (10.34) in comparison to his career norms (8.43)
- I had heard rumblings about other players such as the Padres' duo of Mike Adams and Luke Gregerson, but unless the Friars start dropping games left and right, I wouldn't expect these two to be traded.
Reader Blog: Why do we have human Umpires?
I'm sure everyone remembers last year's World Series. We had a slew of terrible calls. So why do we have Umpires. Last Night, in the Yanks-Sawx game, I saw at least two errors at first base. And now we're all up in arms about the Terrible Call du Jour, Marlon Byrd's single which was "caught" by Nat McClouth.
So, I pose the question to you, Cubs Fan Nation, why do we rely almost entirely on humans, who as we all know are terrible inefficient, when there are other, much better option available?
There is absolutely no reason that managers shouldn't be able to challenge plays. Having this opportunity would make the game that much better. People say that Baseball is a game in which tradition should take a driver's seat. This is, of course, completely ridiculous, as it is no longer the year 1908, and the technology of Instant replay can easily be melded with the tradition of a Human Umpire. We would just be simply unprepared to be simply bound only to one of the two.
So, Goat Readers, which would you choose?
My Project
I'd like to preface this by saying that this has little to nothing to do with the Cubs. If you're looking for a hardcore description of why I think Derrek Lee isn't over the hill yet, but that he can give the cubs 30 dingers, you're out of luck. This is, instead, a description of a project I began to undertake last October.
 I want to visit every ballpark in the Majors. Generally, I take a picture at the ballpark, which I follow up by exploring the city.You may be asking yourself right now "Why is he telling us this?"

 Simple, When I get to a new place that I've never seen before, I haven't the foggiest of what to do there. I'd love it if the various GoatReaders (And the Goat Riders if they can) to let me know what fun things there are to do in a city. If you've been there, please comment and let me know a nice restaraunt or a really cool thing to see.

 I've been to Both Chicago parks, Milwaukee, St. Louis, Detroit, Kansas City, San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland. I'm also going to Boston in July. Please, if you can think of something, let me know
The Bullpen
UPDATE: I was really busy today with school, so this is the first time I looked at the site today. Chief gave us this post today, so with all the other Goats out today it seems, except AJ. I'm going to move this to front for discussion. There will be more content tomorrow as the series gets started with the Cardinals.
I'd like to preface this post by saying that while I've been a longtime GoatReader, this is my first article.
Let's face it, the Offense is finally into 2009, and the Starting Rotation has always been here. However, the 2009 Cubs lack one major detail: their bullpen. I'd like to take the time to examine each arm currently there first.
- Carlos Marmol has been excellent, as has Angel Guzman. Neither has been brought into question this year, and rightfully so. They've done their job.
- Kevin Gregg has been shaky at times, but we need to face the fact: Lou trusts him, and he's not going anywhere. Many think he's done and was a waste of a high level prospect, but he's only had a handful of bad outings, but they've been terrible when he's had them.
- Aaron Heilman was spot on for a while, and lately he's been dreadful, but I think the real Heilman falls somewhere in between. He's a keep, and much better than his 4.86 ERA shows.
- Jose Ascanio was acquired a few years ago in the Will Ohman Trade, and so far, he's been a pleasant surprise, but two innings can only say so much about a guy.
- The Elephant in the room is obviously the Dreadful Duet of David Patton and Neal Cotts. Neither is particularly useful, and I personally think Patton is NOT one of those recent Rule V Draft picks that will revolutionize basebal(Josh Hamilton, Joakim Soria).
So that begs the question, for those two spots, Cotts and Patton, What do we do? We have a few options in our Minor League System.
- Greg Reinhard is a righty in AAA who has been off the charts against lefties, who holds lefties to a .69 BA (Righties hit 3.11)
- Jeff Steven has also been fantastic, who, before tonight, has let up only one run. He currently holds all batters to a .143 BA, with only a marginal advantage against lefties.
- There are, of course, other options such as Mitch Atkins or Jeff Samardzija, but in my opinion, neither has performed well enough at the level they're at to be called up to the big leagues.
Or we could trade for relievers. John Grabow has been rumored to be available, and although he's not exactly a LOOGY, Lou has never really seemed impressed with LOOGY's(Stevie Eyre). Danys Baez has also been great this year, and he's also rumored to be available.
Whatever happens, the Cubs should win upwards of ninety games this year, especially if they acquire a guy like Jake Peavy.

What services are there to diagnose TB?
Situation in 2012
Laboratory capacity to conduct high-quality sputum smear microscopy requires significant strengthening. Only only 14 of the 22 high TB burden countries met the target of having 1 microscopy centre per 100 000 population in 2012.
Globally, laboratory capacity to perform drug susceptibility testing continues to be low and is not growing quickly enough to ensure that TB patients with MDR-TB are promptly diagnosed.
Among the 27 countries with a high burden of MDR-TB, 14 did not have the recommended capacity of 1 laboratory to perform culture and drug susceptibility testing (DST) per 5 million population in 2012.
Xpert MTB/RIF, a new rapid molecular test that can diagnose TB and rifampicin-resistant TB within hours, is being rapidly adopted by countries. Between its endorsement by WHO in December 2010 and the end of June 2013, 1402 GeneXpert machines and 3.2 million Xpert MTB/RIF cartridges had been procured by 88 of the 145 countries eligible for concessional prices.

Saint Edmund was born in Abingdon, England around the year 1175.
Little is known about his family, but his biographers believe that he had at least 2 sisters and a brother. He attended school at Oxford and the University of Paris, although the exact dates of attendance are unknown. He eventually went on the teach mathematics at Oxford. (He is sometimes credited with being the first to teach Aristotle at Oxford, while this cannot be conclusively proven, he was certainly one of the earliest.) St. Edmund Hall, an Oxford college, is named for him.
Edmund had entered an academic life, but found he could not ignore his religious calling. By 1222 he had left Oxford and was preaching in Calne. In addition to his duties at Calne, in 1222 Edmund began a 12 year term as the treasurer at Salisbury Cathedral, where he likely had some involvement with the building of the great cathedral. In 1234, he was elected Archbishop of Canterbury, head of the English Church.
As Archbishop, he was often in conflict with King Henry III , insisting the king stop showing favor to his foreign barons. Henry eventually brought in a papal legate sympathetic to himself, and Edmund was forced to journey to Rome to discuss the issue with Pope Gregory IX. Unsuccessful in Rome, he returned to England.
In 1240, he left England again and traveled to the Cistercian Abbey at Pontigny, which had sheltered two of his embattled predecessors, Stephen Langton and Thomas Becket. He died at nearby Soisy on November 16. His body was returned to Pontigny where it was interred Pontigny and still resides today.
During his life he was known as a powerful preacher, a gentle, kind leader and a particularly austere and learned priest. Miracles were soon associated with Edmund's body, and formal proceedings to canonize him began almost immediately. He was canonized in late 1246. Shortly after, the tomb of Saint Edmund was opened in the presence of Queen Blanche and King Louis of France. There were no signs of decay or corruption at that point, and the body was replaced in the tomb. In 1249, Bishop Guy de Mello placed the remains in a reliquary.
The Cistercian monks at Pontigny took great care of the relics in their guardianship.
A cult arose around Saint Edmund and for many years pilgrims made their way to Pontigny.
In the 18th Century, a new reliquary was built, and the relics were transferred under the observation of many. Both the relics and the reliquary survived the turmoil and destruction that beset much church property during the French Revolution. The subsequent sale of the property had no effect on the relics either.
In 1843, Father Jean Baptiste Muard formed a group of diocesan missionaries around the ruins of Pontigny. In 1852, these missionary priests took formal vows to become a religious institute or religious order. They adopted the name Society of the Fathers and Brothers of Saint Edmund, Oblates of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. They took as their patron Saint Edmund, for whose relics they became responsible with their guardianship of the abbey church at Pontigny.
On September 3 1849, a group of priests and delegates of the Archbishop of Sens examined the relics of Saint Edmund, which were found to be largely undamaged. In addition to the arm, which had been detached for many centuries, small portions of the corpse that had become detached from the main were removed from the reliquary placed in paper, sealed and given to specific dignitaries.
This illustration from an 1861 publication shows three textiles moved from the tomb of Saint Edmund to the Museum. The maniple and the sandal are still housed in the Museum at the Cathedral at Sens France, where they are described as "vestments from the life of Saint Edmund."
The illustration is believed to be a drawing of this textile, which is housed in the collection at Saint Michael's College. There is no information about when the textile came to America; it is probable that the Edmundites transferred it following one of their sales of Pontigny. There is no indication that it came to America in the 1950's with the arm of Saint Edmund.
The Society of Saint Edmund retained control of Pontigny through the 19th Century. They expanded their "missionary" work into Western France, taking responsibility for churches and schools at Mont-St-Michel, Chateau-Gontier, and Laval. They were forced to leave France in 1903 during the Church State controversy. This controversy, which forced the Church to divest itself of all its property, affected many religious institutions throughout France.
Although they were forced out of France physically, the Society continued to define itself as French. They established Houses in England and in North America, but they always intended to return to Pontigny.
In the 1930's following a period of great turmoil within the Society, they
were finally able to purchase Pontigny once again, although during World War II the Nazi's briefly took control.
Following the Occupation, the Society returned to Pontigny, establishing a French-American School on the property.
In 1947, the Society hosted a large celebration at Pontigny for the 700th anniversary of Saint Edmund's Canonization.
In 1954, the Society of Saint Edmund, having failed to regain a strong enough foothold in France, sold Pontigny to the Mission of France. At that time, they asked permission to remove the relic of the arm of Saint Edmund to America. The reliquary was replaced and sealed in September and then traveled by ship to New York. It was taken to Vermont and then later to New York City, where a Father of the Blessed Sacrament unsealed it, made a slight repair and exchanged the
linens with new silks. While in the City, the Edmundite Fathers stopped at the Museum of Natural History, where they asked for advice about the care of the relic. The museum curators advised against sealing the arm with wax, given its condition at 700+ years with no treatment.
Over the years, the Society of Saint Edmund has collected many smaller relics of Saint Edmund. A few are shown here.
Through the years there have been many images of Saint Edmund. A few of the varied images are displayed here.
In 1957, the arm was placed in a shrine at Saint Michael's College, where it remained until 1965.It was then moved to Swanton VT. In 2002, with the building of a new facility at Enders Island in Mystic CT, the relic of Saint Edmund was moved there, where it still resides.

What Facebook and Google Teach Us about the Power of Giving
- Thursday, October 11, 2012
It seems that this degree of separation between the worlds of work and worship is one reason why many men and young people, demographics that the local church often has a hard time connecting with, feel that church and biblical principles are irrelevant to their lives. This is an erroneous but common perception that does not reflect our heavenly father's intent for godliness (1 Timothy 4:7; 1 Corinthians 10:31. This perception of the value of godliness is similar to the way many view math, or even arithmetic – as a hard, abstract subject with limited or little relevance to everyday life issues and applications. While mathematicians view numbers or equations as being intrinsically beautiful, valuable and relevant, many parents and teachers know that middle school students typically do not share this enthusiasm. But sometimes all it takes to motivate the kids to develop interest in math is to show them its practical relevance. For example, how the Google search function is based on a set of math equations known as eigenvectors, supported by lines of (programming) code. Or the other cool but practical applications that math has made possible - like Finding Nemo and Toy Story, modeling how the human body works and drugs function, creating unbreakable spy codes, taking pictures that can be saved on mobile phones and tablets. The kids' eyes literally get big and all of a sudden, math doesn't seem so exotic, irrelevant, and out of reach. They are then often motivated to embrace math and not actively seek to avoid or minimize its use.
Similarly, the growth of Google and Facebook illuminate the power of the biblical principle of giving (Matthew 10:8). It shows that in addition to the fundamental understanding of giving – giving money, aid or charity (Matthew 6:3); and giving mercy, love and forgiveness (Luke 6:38), giving can also catalyze the birthing of new industries, ministries and missions. This understanding of giving compels us to take the gifts, skills, talents, tools and resources God has given us and use them to fulfill His purposes, where and how we work, play and love. Like Joseph put his dream interpretation gift at the service of his fellow inmates. Like Dorcas not only prayed, but also used her garment making and designing skills to keep widows warm in winter. Like the woman who voluntarily provided room and board to a "man of God" (2 Kings 4:9-10). And yes, like the "poor widow" (Mark 12:42) who gave all she had, and those "two copper coins" have been in mint ever since as a source of inspiration. One hundred years from now Facebook and Google may or may not be around, but the word of our Lord that it is more blessed to give than to receive will remain as fresh and relevant as ever.

The guide scope conisists of an Antares 7 X 50 finderscope (with the right angle removed), and Angea Astro Blue Fireball extension, and a DMK21 monochrome webcam. The bracket is from Scope Stuff. This combination has a very low profile, very light weight and NO flexture. It has a SYNTA type dovetail that is secured with a Synta type bracket. The one screw in the bracket holds this light weight system very securely. Beacuse of the very sensitive Sony CCD on the DMK, I have had very few problems in finding a guide star. I use it on my 80mm APO refractor and on my Meade 8" SCT. I use PHD guding and only had to make some initial adjustments with no further tinkering. Maybe it's just luck that I made up this combo with great success, but I'll take it!

TheStreetRatings.com Analysis: TheStreet Quant Ratings rates Trulia as a hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and solid stock price performance. However, as a counter to these strengths, we find that the company's return on equity has been disappointing. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- TRLA's very impressive revenue growth greatly exceeded the industry average of 9.4%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues leaped by 117.2%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- TRLA's debt-to-equity ratio is very low at 0.02 and is currently below that of the industry average, implying that there has been very successful management of debt levels. Along with the favorable debt-to-equity ratio, the company maintains an adequate quick ratio of 1.48, which illustrates the ability to avoid short-term cash problems.
- The gross profit margin for TRULIA INC is currently very high, coming in at 93.32%. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Regardless of the strong results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of 17.42% trails the industry average.
- Compared to other companies in the Internet Software & Services industry and the overall market, TRULIA INC's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.

When we copy, we justify it. When others copy, we vilify it.
— Kirby Ferguson, Everything Is A Remix
Feb 01, 2012
Creativity isn't magic. It starts out simply enough — you're copying and then you're fiddling with whatever you've copied, and then you're merging whatever you copied with something else. It's only over time, with years of practice, that you start to get results that are breakthrough.

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
SPHS is a remarkable school that prepares our teens to excel in the real world. The teachers challenge them to think, thrive and engage plus enjoy learning! Students at SPHS are creative, intelligent and have a strong since of who they are. It is so exciting to hear and witness the passion for learning these teens have at SPHS! These students will and have made major contributions to the community and will in the future! I highly recommend SPHS they prepare their students for college and excellence! Thank you to all the staff for all of their dedication and skills!
Terrible school. Might as well combine itself with Triad which is just down the street. The discipline is similar and so is the quality of teaching. To those of you who enjoy this sub-par school: I pity you.
SPHS is a wonderful school. The small school atmosphere and challenging classes has kept my son engaged. His confidence has increased and as a result his social skills have increased. So thankful for the opportunity to attend this school.
5 Stars! SPHS is off the charts with stars.....My daughter is a senior this year( been a student @ SPHS since freshmen year) and I am so EXCITED to see her graduate. She has accomplished so much over these past years and still maintaining a crazy schedule with duel-enrollment, maintaining As and working part-time. She has gotten so much guidance and encouragement from her teachers (because they care). SPHS is an awesome school! (A+) They push the students to do better, work harder, and act smarter. I appreciate this as a parent. Thank you SPHS!!!
The first thing I thought when we walked into this school was wow. The school is so modern and the students have so much at their finger tips. The staff is very enthusiastic and eager to teach our children. They gave us all a very warm welcome and made me excited for our child. I only wish they had this kind of school when I was in HighSchool. I look forward to all the things my child will experience at Suncoast Poly Tech and all the things I will experience with her!
When our child first decided to attend Poly Tech, we agreed with some degree of apprehension. We realized that our concerns were based on the unknown as the school was 'new'. We have quickly learned that the way the staff, teachers, and students interact makes for an outstanding learning environment. The teachers are 'out of the box' educators - making us wish that our schooling had been this innovative and cutting edge.
I'm pleased with this school. I have a daughter that graduated the inaugural class of 2012. My second child is a junior. The SCTI portion of the program has made the round trip drive (50 miles a day from Venice) worth the time & effort.
Love SPHS!!! :-) The small-school environment is perfect for my daughter! She gets individual attention and is held accountable for her assignments and grades...she will never fall through the cracks! I love that the teachers are committed to the students and seem to love working at SPHS! The team atmosphere is obvious with all the stories that come back to me from my daughter! Keep up the great work you're doing there!!!
This is the best school I have ever been involved with. They employ teachers and counselors that actually care about your children. I am the mom of 5 with the 2 oldest enrolled there with the other 3 to follow. I would not even think of sending them somewhere else for high school. Excellent Excellent school. They are fantastic!!!!!!!
Hands down the best school in Sarasota County!!!!!!!!!!!!! My student goes to SCF and SCTI while enrolled in this school. I could not of asked for more!!!
PolyTech is leading edge when it comes to preparing young adults for their future. The graduates from Suncoast Polytech will be far ahead of their peers from "traditional" high schools as they will graduate with a skill so they can immediately enter the workforce after graduation. These young people are exposed to many different vocations prior to selecting their "major". They begin to work in the field they wish to go into in their Junior year. My son has chosen the medical profession. When he graduates he will have his CNA certification. This will open doors for employment after graduation. He can then chose to work on his LPN after graduation. I think Poly Tech is the "school of the future". Gone are the days of rote learning. We must teach our children how to provide for themselves and become productive citizens. Our world is changing. Don't let your kids be left behind. Think of their future. The campus is state of the art and technologically advanced. These are the leaders of tomorrow!
What a great school and staff. This is a great choice for a great high school experience.
If I could go back and do it all again, I wish I had the opportunity to attend an outstanding school like SHPS. Although we are new to this school, I am in awe of the amazing technology and career paths that are available to the students. I truely believe the education my daughter will receive at SPHS will give her a solid foundation for her future endeavors. The specialized program will give her an advantage over students from traditional high schools. I have never seen my child so excited about school because SPHS offers programs that actually interest and excite her. We are extremely grateful for the teachers and staff that make this such a great school!
My school is the up and coming way to educate! SPHS is a smaller school. I love it because there are teachers who are passionate about what they are teaching. It is rare there is a behavior problem, the kids enjoy coming to school and there is a level of acceptance unlike any other school I've been in. Some of the educational tracks that are offered are not found at any other school and the fact that you can graduate with completed certificates and job training from SCTI is fantastic. Many great clubs are offered like gaming & animation, robotics, academic olympics, drama, archery just to name a few. Parents are really involved to make sure the students have fun at dances, open mic nights, talent show, the annual play. and teacher led field trips. I like best that my son has no problem getting up and going to school because he likes it. After rotating through all his classes and seeing what the kids are doing, I want to go back to high school! I feel like he's getting a great education and when he has trouble there is always help offered. I would recommend this school to any parent inquiring!
SPHS has been a great option for us! Our son, now a sophomore, is doing great there. It's a small school (max of 600 kids) so the teachers really know each student. They aren't just a name and a number at SPHS! It's a great option worth looking into.
SPHS is a great school. It has a great variety of programs. I would highly recommend this school.
My daughter has said "I love it!", about this school. She is already pursuing classes that directly relate to her intended career path in 9th grade. The classes she is taking will put her in a much better position to start college than a traditional high school setting. The teachers, administration and students all seem to be happier with their " lot" than any other school I've seen. I am very grateful my child has the opportunity to attend this school. She would have been lost in the shuffle at the districted school she would have otherwise attended, where the average number of students is close to 3000!!
My son is now a junior (has been at Polytech since his freshman year). He and I both like a lot about the school - particularly the tech driven curriculum. The only thing I do not like is their volunteer requirements for parents - I don't mind volunteering but the fact that my hours must be at the school (while my son can get his in at any Sarasota non-profit) drives me a little crazy (and seems to not be very well thought out) Overall, I'm very happy my son was able to get into this school.
My child loves this school, I don't even mind the volunteer requirement. They are offering my child something she cant get in the mainstream schools and 15 hrs of my time is a small price to pay for that. I also believe that being actively involved in a childs education makes for a better student and a better parent/child relationship. My daughter is looking forward to going to school for the first time since kindergarten. I would highly recommend it to anyone.
SPHS has an excellent campus with amazing career opportunities for the students. This school really has their finger on the pulse of what kids are interested in that results in their desire to excel. SPHS offers wonderful programs that will give the students a great advantage in the workforce. SPHS students are privileged to receive such in depth training with state of the art technology. I really like that the teachers and staff are dedicated to helping the kids prepare for their future. This is an incredible school that should be at the top of the list if you are looking to enroll.

(LOS ANGELES, CA) -- The Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) is pleased to announce that CAM4 has become its newest corporate sponsor.
"CAM4 feels very strongly about the need for corporate and social responsibility and for protecting children online," Shaft from CAM4 stated. "As such, we are proud to sponsor ASACP and encourage other digital media companies to support the association as well."
CAM4 is among the largest worldwide webcam communities, where more daring visitors can setup a free account and start broadcasting their own live shows via webcam. CAM4 features both male and female performers, and is available in dozens of languages for a global appeal.
"We are delighted to welcome CAM4 to the family of ASACP sponsors," ASACP Executive Director Tim Henning stated. "Working with this company is important, as it not only reaches consumers around the world, but like other cam sites, attracts potentially at-risk performers maximizing the need for, and benefits of, ASACPs services."
ASACP provides online businesses with a series of Best Practices targeting specific market segments; while its Restricted to Adults (RTA) website meta label helps prevent a minors unauthorized access to adult-oriented websites and mobile apps. The association also operates an international Cp Reporting Hotline, contributing to the closure of a number of illegal sites.
"ASACP relies on the ongoing generous support of companies such as CAM4 in order to fulfill our mission of keeping kids out of and away from adult entertainment," Henning adds. "This support demonstrates the proactive responsibility and self-regulation exhibited by the digital media industry today, representing society coming together for the benefit of children, wherever they may be found."

Halloween Contest During One Man Star Wars Trilogy
By Amy Somensky Oct 25, 2005, 7:20 GMT
Dressing up as Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, or Han Solo this Halloween?
A costume competition will take place during the October 28th - 31st performances of the show. Audiences are encouraged to come in costume, Star Wars or not. The contest will be judged by performer Charles Ross, Christian Borle from Spamalot and John Treacy Egan from The Producers. Prizes from Toys-r-Us, Mars 2112, Forbidden Planet, Creative Costume, and St. Marks Comics will
be awarded for the best costumes. According to the producers "stormtroopers will be in the audience all weekend and will be serving the audience free Wookie Cookies, Darth Malts, Yoda Soda, and Deathstar Popcorn Balls."
Here is the performance schedule for The One Man Star Wars Trilogy that weekend:
Friday October 28th: 8pm
Saturday October 29th: 3pm and 8pm
Sunday October 30th: 3pm
Monday October 31st: 7:30pm
Charles Ross' One Man Star Wars Trilogy will play the Lamb's Theater until December 31st, but it will take a hiatus from October 31st through November 22nd.
The One Man Star Wars Trilogy is a high energy, nonstop blast through the first three Star Wars films. The catch is, there's only one cast member. Charles Ross, the writer and solo performer, spent too much of his childhood in a galaxy far, far away- adulthood has been similar. Ross plays all the characters, recreates the effects, sings the music, flies the ships, and fights both sides of the battles.
