Your 13-Year-Old Heart Just Shattered: Nick Carter Got Married
Thousands of children have been told by their 30-something mothers to go and play in the street or whatever, because mommy needs a little "me time" and by that she means she needs to scream and bawl out the words, "IT SHOULD'VE BEEN MEEEEEEEE," while doing the endless wall slide of woe. Because the youngest Backstreet Boy Nick Carter got married yesterday in Santa Barbara, CA. I'm not one of those hos crying about this shit, because I was never into the Backstreet Boys and if I was, I'd get the tingles for Kevin Richardson. I wouldn't turn down a chance to suck off those brows.
Anyway, People says that 34-year-old Nick married fitness expert/actress (nothing is more L.A. than a fitness expert/actress) Lauren Kitt in front of 100 guests, including 2 of the Backstreet Boys, at the Bacarat Resort. Nothing says "wedded bliss" like a groom making a "the fuck did I just do?" face while his bride smiles at the camera. Nick and Lauren bumped fuck parts full-time for a while before they got engaged last year. Because Nick would rather Vh1 pay for his fancy wedding to a chick he might only be married to for a quick second, the whole thing was shot for a reality show, which will start airing sometime this year.
Sadly, the best Carter, Aaron Carter, wasn't at his brother's wedding. Aaron cannot turn down a check, so he performed at the Cherry Blossom parade in DC and he didn't make it back to California in time because the plane had mechanical problems. Damn you, Spirit Airlines! Aaron's rep (yes, he has on those) said this:
"Aaron signed a contract to appear at the Cherry Blossom parade in D.C. before Nick's wedding date was announced. [We] realized there was a problem and figured out he could perform and get him to Santa Barbara so he would be there for the last two hours of the reception. Tickets were purchased and the plan was in place. It was a major operation to get him there in time. Aaron didn't blow anything off and would have been there – it's a real bummer for him. He feels bad he missed the wedding."
Nick Carter is an asshole for not canceling his wedding. How can he get married without his former partner in meth, his brother, next to him? How can he dance with his new wife without his brother next to them dancing with a Hilary Duff cardboard cutout? I bet the Hilary Duff cardboard cutout was finally going to put out last night too. Poor Aaron.

Aaron Carter Still Really, Really Wants Hilary Duff Back
Meth might've eaten Aaron Carter's face and any dignity he had in his being, but it didn't eat the undying love he feels for Hilary Duff. Hilary and Aaron "dated" when they were just 13 years old and that was over 14 years ago, but every night he blasts "Come Clean," crawls into his Lizzie McGuire sleeping bag and as he stares at the photo collage of her he pasted onto his ceiling, he faps while crying. My thoughts and prayers go out to Aaron Carter's neighbors who every night have to block out the sound of him fap-crying while screaming out the lyrics to "Come Clean."
Aaron has let it be known on Twitter before that he wants Hilary Duff back. And yesterday, the Romeo of Florida once again figuratively threw tiny rocks at Hilary Duff's bedroom window when he re-tweeted a picture of her and then spilled out this declaration of love, which will later be used in court when Hilary Duff tries to get a restraining order against his ass.
Don't be that stupid douche that loses the love of your life forever..
Like me…
I'll spend the rest of my life trying to better myself to get back to her.
I don't care what ANY of you think.
That tweet just gave me an anxiety attack
..people who have no idea who I am and/or what I've been through.
If you're that interested watch my interviews or google me.
At least I'm real and don't hide behind the persona of being a celebrity and an entertainer, &try to portray positive feelings all the time
On a lighter note it's almost Easter and I want tons of candy to eat!!
Lindsay Lohan probably DMed Aaron with, "Aw, I never stopped loving you either, got any coke?" But Aaron told one of his followers that he was talking about his childhood girlfriend Hilary Duff.
If you think it's creepy that Aaron is still slobbering over a girl he dated when he was 13, then you're obviously the kind of monster who shits on true love and stabs cherubs for fun. Because true love will always prevail! 50 years from now, Aaron will be laughing at all the haters who thought he was a creepy motherfucker while cuddling on the couch with his wife of 49 years Hilary Duff as they watch their grandchildren play on the rug. You know, I think I just described the scene that Aaron is going to daydream about in his jail cell after the cops catch him licking Hilary Duff's dirty panties in her bedroom.
And welcome to your future, Justin and Selena.
Aaron Carter Might Be Trying To Woo Back Recent Divorcée Hilary Duff
I don't know what's worse: referring to Hilary Duff as a divorcée, or that it's 2014 and I'm bringing you a story about Aaron Carter that isn't about declaring bankruptcy or his appearance on a 3rd-tier reality show like Curling with the Stars or I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here – Ukraine Edition.
It's only been 4 days since Hilary Duff announced her split from Mike Comrie (a man with the hardest working neck in the business), but it looks like Aaron Carter is hoping to swoop in and rekindle the romance they had once upon a time. Oh, don't tell me you've already forgotten the pre-Angelina-Brad-Jennifer love-triangle that was Hilary-Aaron-Lindsay?
It all began when Aaron took to Twitter to tweet some cryptic messages immediately after news broke that Lizzie McGuire's marriage was dunzo:
But everyone knows that on Twitter, "don't ask" means "please ask, I have so many thoughts" so most of his followers started tweeting him asking if he was referring to the possibility that Hilary Duff is back on the market. He allegedly responded to one inquisitive follower via DM with what I accidentally mistook for Air Supply lyrics:
Shortly after this, some of Aaron's Twitter followers started tweeting that Hilary Duff had followed-up her divorce announcement by following Aaron on Twitter, so I went through the list of who she's following to see if this was true, but I didn't see Aaron. I'd call Aaron's followers a bunch of drama-loving dummies, but I'm the one who spent 10 minutes of my life scrolling through Hilary's following list like Bob Woodward on the cusp of breaking the story of the century, so who's the real dummy here.
Nobody's asked what Hilary Duff thinks of all of this, but one can assume she's at home frantically squeezing into her wedding dress and using flashcards to teach her son Luca about his new 'Unky Aaron'. I think I smell the next Nicholas Sparks movie; Aaron's Heart (Come Get It). Hilary could be played by Emma Roberts (or if the budget is tight, Haylie Duff) and Aaron could be played by a janitor's mop in meth drag.

Look Out Aaron Carter, Sarah McLachlan Is Coming For Your Ass
Aaron Carter, best known for his singing career, living as a walking, talking Faces of Meth poster and being the piece of scrap meat Hilary Duff and Lindsay Lohan once cat fought over in a back alley, is filing for Chapter 7 after getting his ass in a ridiculous amount of debt.
This is how the numbers play out according to TMZ:
Assets- $8,232.16
Liabilities- $2,204,854, including owing $31,166 to American Express
He owes the IRS $1,368,140
Monthly income – $1,997.75 with monthly expenses of $2,005 ($600 of which is spent on food)
As for his assets, he lists a 61″ flat screen worth $500. He also lists 2 MacBooks, 2 Headset Mics, a Mini Keyboard, Portable Beats, a speaker, a guitar, Louis Vuitton backpack, a duffle bag and a printer worth a total of $2,500. And he owns a Brietling watch worth $3,750.
What the fuck did he buy to rack up thirty thousand dollars in credit card debt to end up with the same crap you can find in any college student's shitty apartment after student loan checks are sent out? Well, except for the LV backpack and watch, which scream "Scottsdale retiree". Do drug dealers even take AmEx? Bitch needs to dial back his dietary needs if he's still spending $600 a month to feed himself. Broke times call for broke measures and that means all the Ramen and canned chili your ass can stand (literally on that last one).
The worst part about Aaron's paperwork was that he valued his dog at ZERO. Call Lloyd Dobbler and have him bring the boom box- Aaron is about to get a wake up call serenade of Sarah McLachlan's "Angel" on repeat until he cries like someone just flushed his stash. Animal friends are PRICELESS, thank you very much! This is giving me shades of my parent's divorce when my dad put our golden retriever as an asset. Thankfully, we got the dog and he got an Ethan Allen couch so ugly it made you flinch.
Aaron's current financial situation is so dire he's living with a family member and I hope he's spending his nights stretched out on a curb couch that smells like pee and hepatitis and looks like it came from one of the rooms those gross assholes at Febreeze dream up to put in their commercials. Aaron should call Lindsay up to hang out and get some tips from the Teflon Queen on how to skate through a puddle of shit and end up on the other side smelling like roses. They can pass a Grey Goose bottle they found empty in a dumpster and filled with Seagram's back and forth while they pick each other's scabs and crank call Lindsay's sober coach before sending Dina out to "entertain" a gentleman caller for tomorrow's booze money.

Aaron Carter Got Beat Up By New Kids Fans For Being On The Wrong Turf
Not since the Sharks fan kicked the Jets down has there been a gang story as hard as this one. Aaron Carter let all of us know that wearing an Aaron Carter t-shirt in Boston is like wearing red in Crips territory. You're going to get beat. (Actually, wearing an Aaron Carter t-shirt anywhere is going to get you beat, but wearing one in Boston will really get you beat.)
Aaron Carter posted a picture on his Instagram this past weekend of him with a busted eye and he says that he got it from four hardcore NKOTB fans who didn't like him being in Boston. Aaron was in Boston over the weekend to play a show on Sunday night and he says that as he was leaving a restaurant on Saturday night, a grown dude came at him in the parking lot and said the most threatening words that have ever been said, "I heard you're doing a show here tomorrow. This is the town of the New Kids."A Chevy Malibu then pulled up (A CHEVY MALIBU!) and three other dudes jumped out. They popped the collars on their acid wash denim vests and chanted at Aaron, "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Everybody's always talkin' 'bout who's on top! Don't cross our path, 'cause you're gonna get stomped!" Then they knocked him out by doing the Hangin' Touch dance in unison. At least, that's how I picture it happening.
Aaron tells TMZ that as soon as the three other New Kids fans, who were all grown men, jumped out of the Chevy Malibu, they whooped his trick ass. Aaron said, "I think my knuckles might be broken, but that's what they get. People think I'm a pretty little white boy but no way. I think I won. I'm still standing."
Aaron performed in Boston anyway, because he's hard like that. Aaron says he didn't file a police report because that's "girlie." That's right! Real men run to their hotel rooms and upload pictures of their bruises on Instagram.
I LOVE THIS STORY. If this story had a b-hole, I'd bone it. Who cares if Aaron made this entire story up and he probably got those bruises in a meth deal gone wrong. Who cares if that black eye probably came from a meth dealer who didn't appreciate Aaron asking, "Uh, can I suck yo dick for a gram?" Who cares! Aaron Carter makes up the best stories.
"This is the town of New Kids" is the most badass line I've ever heard.
Leslie Carter Suffered An Overdose Of Prescription Pills
When the Carter family, I mean the other other Carter family, released a statement yesterday morning about the death of 25-year-old Leslie Carter, they were mute about the cause of her death. The Coroner isn't issuing an official cause of death until toxicology results come back, but a police report shows that she most likely died of an overdose.
ABC News says that Leslie's stepmother, Ginger Carter (that's a really hot name), told police that her stepdaughter was suffering from a mental illness and was taking medication for it. Leslie usually lives in Canada with her husband, but she brought her 10-month-old daughter with her to stay with family in upstate New York so she could kick her addiction to pills. Ginger says that on the morning of her death, Leslie slipped in the shower. Ginger helped Leslie into bed to lie down and when she checked up on her a few hours later, she wasn't breathing. Next to Leslie's bed were bottles of Olanzapine (for bipolar disorder), Cyclobenzaprine (a muscle relaxer) and Xanax.
The police report also says that Ginger Carter was messed up herself when they talked to her. Ginger was full on LOHAN. Ginger was slurring her words, had glassy eyes and kept falling asleep while talking to the cops. Ginger told the cops that she was so upset about Leslie's death that she took five or six Xanax. Ginger told police that she'll tell them more as soon as she sobers up. Why do I have a feeling that won't be anytime soon. Why do I also have a feeling that Ginger Carter looks like this?
Leslie Carter Has Passed Away At The Age Of 25
Two R.I.P. posts in a row and it's not even noon. Grab a few bottles of Strawberry Hill, bring a fully stocked bong and pull the blanket over February.
Aaron and Nick Carter's sister, Leslie Carter (in the middle), died yesterday in upstate New York and that's pretty much all we know. The Carter family released a statement to Access Hollywood, but they're keeping the cause of Leslie's death to themselves for now.
"Our family is grieving right now and it's a private matter. We are deeply saddened for the loss of our beloved sister, daughter, and granddaughter, Leslie Carter. We request the utmost privacy during this difficult time."
Like Aaron and Nick, Leslie was a singer and had a song called "Like Wow" on the Shrek soundtrack. Leslie was also in the family's mess of a reality show The House of Carters. She married her husband Mike in 2008 and gave birth to their daughter Alyssa Jane on April 1, 2011.
Aaron Carter's Meth Abs Are No More
It was over a year ago when Aaron Carter challenged your claim to fap to anything when he posted a shirtless picture of himself looking like an HGH-addicted clitoris with Madonna arms. Aaron had the six-pack that meth built. But at Angels & Kings in NYC last night, the beats he threw down were so hot (your eye roll goes here and load the next on) that he ripped off his sequined blouse (your second eye roll goes here) from International Male and showed the paps that he no longer has a body straight out of the pages of Bodies of Meth Weekly.
The ghost of Justin Bieber's future has completely dried out, so he says, and unlike a year ago you couldn't tweak out from snorting up his sweat. Aaron is totally a Nancy Reagan kind of drug-free and he has a "frat boy porn star turned freelance car mechanic" body to show for it. Or maybe Aaron's got an "XY Magazine model turned day-shift bartender at a Long Beach gay club" body.
And that has to be a stick-on happy trail wig on Aaron's body, because I refuse to believe that it's possible for a Carter to grow body hair. They don't even have to follicles down there. The meth ate 'em!
UPDATE: Aaron Carter Denies Saying That Michael Jackson Gave Him Lohan Powder
A couple of days ago, Sweetas brought us the news that Aaron Carter opened his mouth on the face that meth built about his time with Michael Jackson, and what he said made the glass on Detective La Toya's monocle fog up and crack. Daphne Barak from OK! Magazine Australia alleged that Aaron told her the late Michael Jackson fed him wine and cocaine when he was 15. But wait, Aaron tells TMZ that he never claimed that MJ sedated his 15-year-old body with the bad shit and dropped a red wine waterfall down his froat.
"Nothing was said that was reported."
The Ghost of Justin Bieber's future pointed to a YouTube video of the interview where he doesn't mention anything about MJ feeding him coke. But Daphne stands by her story and still claims that Aaron told her "that Michael Jackson gave him alcohol and cocaine while he was 15. He also said that Michael invited him to sleep in his room, and when Aaron woke up at 5:00 AM, he found Michael on his bed."
This is absolutely ridiculous, offensive and is making me do the moonwalk towards Daphne's face so I can slap the wrong out of her! MJ never gave Aaron coke or wine. Why would MJ ever do such a thing? That's not only illegal, but it goes against ever fiber of MJ's moral being. How dare Daphne throw those hurtful accusations around! We all know that MJ only served Jesus Juice and the White Dust of Christ to minors. DUH!
I Feel Dirty
Well, well, well-UH. Aaron Carter dropped a few bombs (and maybe some acid) on Michael Jackson in an interview with OK! magazine. In a candid interview, he comes clean (actually, I don't think you could ever come clean again, but I digress) about his time with the late pop icon. Apparently, they had a really close relationship, in which MJ gave him wine, the bad shit, and maybe more. Here are a couple of quotes from Aaron. Don't read into them (totally read into them).
"I never talked about it… This is the first time. I do… I miss Michael… I have spent such incredible times with him. I did things with him that nobody else did… But I was also troubled about what he did to me."
Me: What he did to me??? wtf??? Moving on…
"Yes, he gave me wine. I mean, I could have refused, but I was 15."
Ahem. Maybe Michael just had a European view of wine? More…
"He gave me cocaine. I felt weird about that and other stuff… We spoke afterwards, hours and hours, on the phone. I admired Michael, but his behaviour bothered me a lot. Then my mother called the police…"
UM. Other. Stuff. And then his mom called the popo. I'm sure it was all good clean wholesome fun! *side eyes MJ's ghost*
You know, I may be understanding Aaron Carter's um, "issues" a little bit better at this point. I'm not saying MJ did anything inappropriate, unless you call giving minors wine, coke, and "other stuff" inappropriate. I think I'm gonna go bathe in bleach now.

It was my birthday, I was to have a party, but what the hell do I know about throwing parties? You go to a party, You get drunk at a party, You take drugs, get buzzed then wasted at a party. You listen to music and meet interesting people with whom you have mediocre, consensual sex at a party. No, you never, ever throw a party.
"Think of the mess," You tell yourself. "You don't clean-up, that's not You, that's what friends and neighbors are for. You are a born guest." But I still had to throw a party.
So, I looked for tips, asked around, shoe-shines, bar flies, and shadowy figures who smoked cigarettes in car parks. Then I googled it, and lo, there it was What Makes a Good Party?. I thought, I know this - alcohol, drugs, sex? No, I was wrong. What makes a good party is charades, conversation, dancing and a big smiley sing-song around a piano. Now you know. So, don't flick ash on the carpet, use the coaster for your drinks, and brace yourself for small-talk. You still want to come to my party? No? It'll be fun. We can do Twister.

It's been over ten years since we've seen the likes of Jon Gruden in the iconic silver and black, but we may not have to wait much longer. Like George Lucas went back to the Star Wars well some ten years after Return of the Jedi, the Oakland Raiders are plucking on our nostalgia stings and are reportedly in talks to bring back Chucky to the Bay Area.
. @hub_arkush of @profootballwkly just told @boers_bernstein that Jon Gruden and the #Raiders are in talks to bring him back to Oakland.
— Dan Bernstein (@dan_bernstein) December 4, 2012
Before we get all excited we have to remember who we are dealing with. After all the years of that scowl and the gruesome profanity, it turns out Jon Gruden is just as much of a coaching diva as the next guy. From his dangling of the University of Tennessee late last month to his constant plea that he's fully committed to his ESPN gig, we really don't know what to believe when it comes to Gruden.
Not helping the matter is still that Nick Saban debacle some years ago where it turns out that no really means hell yes.
Over in Oakland, things haven't been the same since Gruden left in 2002 to join the Buccaneers (well, technically he was traded there). Sure the Raiders made the Super Bowl that year but they have been a mess every since, and owner Mark Davis has simply had enough. After a loss in Week 12 to the Bengals, Davis admitted he and head coach Dennis Allen got into an argument.
"I wouldn't say it was heated; the most heated I got was when we first got on the plane and I told him it's not good enough." Daivs said. "I told him not long after we boarded: 'It's not good enough.' I admit I was pissed off."
Pissed off used to be the only expression Jon Gruden had before being handed a microphone softened him up. The only question is will Gruden be the same coach he was before his job at ESPN? To be a stickler, Gruden wasn't a Hall of Fame coach with the Buccaneers or the Raiders, but he wasn't Dennis Allen either.
The hope is that Gruden has had some time to ferment and that when he returns to the sidelines, he'll be an even more wiser and better coach than he was before. For Raiders fans — or fans of whatever team he is hired by — hopefully the wisdom comes hand in hand with the scowl we've all come to love.

Setting aside a special day just to honor mothers is a wonderful tradition. Being a mother is one of life's greatest privileges, but it is a full-time job. I did not truly appreciate my mother until I became one myself. It gave a new perspective to all of the countless hours that she spent giving to me. I always knew that she loved me and that she "took great care" of me, but I had no idea that once the path of motherhood began, it would open up a new place in my heart. My children are constantly in my thoughts. Every day I think about my sons and their needs. It is a joy and a privilege to be able to watch them mature and take pride in their accomplishments.
My favorite Mother's Day celebrations always included handmade school gifts. Both boys made beautiful "sunflower broaches" for me when they were in kindergarten. I still treasure the sweet poems and specially designed cards that I received through the years.
The bottom line: The best gifts are the ones that come from the heart and express your appreciation for your mother. They do not have to be expensive, but they do have to be special. Below are a few ideas to help you find the perfect gift to celebrate your mom.
1. Thank you note/poem
This is a thoughtful and inexpensive gift. Every mother will treasure a heartfelt message from a child. It does not have to be long or flowery to be effective.
2. Special time or a date night
Planning a special time to be with your mother will be a big hit. Dinner and a movie is always a treat. And, little ones can plan the evening at home with a favorite DVD or board game. It would also be fun to plan a day trip to a local destination or museum.
3. Flowers
A favorite flower is always a good gift. If your mother is practical, a hanging
basket of annuals would be the right touch.
4. Spa treatment
A manicure or pedicure at a local salon is a good choice for
a mother who always works hard and never spends any time on herself.
5. Breakfast in bed
Surprising your mother with a hot cup of coffee, an easy French toast casserole and her favorite juice is the perfect way to start a memorable Mother's Day.
Easy French Toast Casserole
1 loaf of challah or French bread
8 eggs, plus 3 more for the morning
4 teaspoons sugar
3 cups of milk
3/4 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon
2 tablespoons of butter, cut into small pieces
1/4 cup of half-and-half
1 teaspoon of vanilla for morning
Maple syrup
Remove the crust of the bread and cut the bread into 1-inch pieces. Arrange the slices in a buttered 9x13-inch baking dish, overlapping the slices. Combine the eggs, sugar, milk, salt, vanilla and cinnamon. Beat together until combined. Pour evenly over the bread slices. Cover and chill overnight. In the morning, mix the additional 3 eggs with 1/4 cup of half-and-half and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Pour over bread mixture and bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes. Serve with maple syrup and sliced fruit.
A mother's love is a constant. In good times and bad, she is always there. Take a moment to show her that you appreciate her. Wishing all mothers a very special day filled with love.
As always, thanks for reading.
Properly yours,

Great ideas, thanks for your thoughts. I agree, Mother's Day so meaningful after you become one and even more when you add grandchildren. Henrietts

I agree that the best gifts are the ones that come from the heart. Some of my most cherished gifts are the ones that my three children made for me when they were young. I still use the "fabulous" burlap yard stick holder that I received one Mother's Day. Most of the fine decorations have long since fallen off, but it holds a place of honor, attached to the side of the fridge with a magnet:) You are right that being a mother is one of life's greatest privileges and that we are always thinking of our children and ways to help them. Happy Mother's Day to you, Cindy! I know you are a wonderful mother.

These ideas are so appropriate for "Mothers Day" and would make anyone feel special. The French toast recipe sounds delicious and so easy to make. I wish everyone a wonderful Mothers Day!!! Looking forward to the next post.

DonorsChoose.org and DonorsChooseGift.org got a visit from a purple-clad Santa this week.
In place of the gifts they usually give to their high-end customers, Yahoo! turned to the charity search engine and sent gift cards of donations to the charity of your choice.
The people seeking donations are various school based requests for aid that teachers from around the US make through the Donors Choose interface.
"Teachers ask. You choose. Students learn." is the slogan.
The cobranded card congratulated the recipients. "you have received a DonorsChoose gift certificate. At our not-for-profit web site, public school teachers submit propsals for materials or experiences their students need to learn. These proposals become classroom reality when concerned individuals like you choose one to fund," the card read.
The site allows you to search propsals by location or area of interest. Simple but clever, this idea could take off - after I used the gift card donation code I went back and gave a little more.
Hopefully this one becomes contagious.
The Original Search Marketing Event is Back!

Usagi: Cracks the biggest, cheesiest grin. It looks silly but it makes everyone laugh, including the photographer.
Ami: They all turn out perfect but rather identical.
Makoto: Super nervous in front of the camera. Can't relax and isn't a good enough actor to fake it, so all her photos end up with a weird, uncomfortable smile.
Minako: One of those people who does a fresh manicure, haircut, face mask and makeup routine for school photos, resulting in her looking really nice but almost entirely unrecognisable. All her school photos look like strangers. Photographer eventually gives up trying to make her not flirt at the camera.
Manga!Rei: Turns up on the day, says "Oh, was today photo day?", sits down and gets it perfect first time.
Anime!Rei: Same as above, but secretly spends all night practicing even more than Minako.
So. Perfect!

5 questions heading into the Orioles' offseason
The Orioles' participation in the 2012 playoffs wasn't just surprising; it was illuminating. It demonstrated how far the club had come this year and also what it needs to do to get back to the postseason -- and last longer -- in 2013.
No one -- at least no one whose paycheck doesn't have a bird on it -- could have predicted that these Orioles would win 93 regular season games and three more in the postseason.
But this is a what-have-you-done-for-me-lately business. And losing to the New York Yankees in five games in the American League Division Series highlighted the club's deficiencies as well as its strengths.
The Orioles need to become less one-dimensional offensively. And, like most teams, they lack an ace that will grab the ball in clutch situations and pitch deep into games, sparing the bullpen while frustrating the opposition.
So with that in mind, here are the club's five biggest questions heading into the offseason and our best attempt to answer them:
-- Dan Connolly
Image 5 of 5
Who will be in the starting rotation?
The Orioles have plenty of options for once, even if Saunders does not return.
Jason Hammel likely will lead the rotation even if he chooses to have a second surgery on his right knee this offseason. Chris Tillman, Miguel Gonzalez and Wei-Yin Chen all will be back.
Jake Arrieta, Zach Britton and Steve Johnson will compete for a rotation spot next spring, and Dylan Bundy will, at the least, be knocking at the door at Triple-A Norfolk.
Orioles manager Buck Showalter said lefty Brian Matusz will head into spring training as a starter to build up his innings. Ultimately, though, he could end up back in relief after he became an invaluable member of the bullpen in the second half of 2012.
The organization also believes that this year¿s No. 1 draft pick, Kevin Gausman, is coming quickly. And, eventually, Tsuyoshi Wada will have recovered from the Tommy John elbow surgery he had in May.
Still, it wouldn't be a surprise if Duquette adds to the starting pitching inventory.
Although Zack Greinke is the only unrestricted free agent considered to be a potential ace, there are some solid arms available including Ryan Dempster, Hiroki Kuroda, Shaun Marcum, Anibal Sanchez, Kyle Lohse and Edwin Jackson. Jake Peavy, Dan Haren, Gavin Floyd (Mount St. Joseph) and James Shields could also become available if their options aren't picked up.

|Chris Chelios
Advisor to Hockey Operations
Chelios enters his third season as advisor to hockey operations for the Red Wings. In his position, Chelios works closely with Detroit's front office, as well as the Red Wings' coaching staff, providing insight on a wide range of on-ice issues and helping to develop and mentor young players in the organization. He also assists the team's business operations, appearing at games and other functions to interact with fans and potential business partners.
Chelios retired as a player from the NHL on August, 31, 2010, after 26 seasons with the Montreal Canadiens, Chicago Blackhawks, Red Wings and Atlanta Thrashers. He played the most games by a defenseman in NHL history (1,651) and was the only player in league history to play in over 400 games for three different teams – Chicago (664), Detroit (578) and Montreal (402). He made his NHL debut on March 8, 1984, when the Canadiens hosted the Hartford Whalers and skated in his final game on April 6, 2010, when the Thrashers battled the New Jersey Devils. For 26 years, Chelios accomplished a litany of feats that place him among the game's all-time greats. He played the fourth-most regular season games in NHL history (1,651) and the most postseason games in league history (266), won three Stanley Cups (Montreal-1986 and Detroit 2002, 2008), three Norris Trophies as the NHL's best defenseman (1989, 1993, 1996), finished second in Norris Trophy voting twice (1995, 2002), made 11 NHL All-Star Game appearances (1985, 1990-94, 1996-98, 2002, 2008), finished as a first team NHL All-Star five times (1989, 1993, 1995, 1996, 2002) and a second team All-Star twice (1991, 1997), ranks 10th all-time among defensemen with 948 points (185-763-948) and at the age of 48, Chelios retired as the second-oldest player in NHL history behind the legendary Mr. Hockey, Gordie Howe (52).
Chelios also played an integral role in the development of USA Hockey during his illustrious playing career. He represented the United States at four Olympic Winter Games (1984, 1988, 2002, 2006), three Canada Cups (1984, 1987, 1991), two World Cup of Hockey events (1996, 2004) and once at the World Junior Championship (1982). Chelios led the U.S. to a championship at the 1996 World Cup of Hockey and a silver medal at the 2002 Olympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City.
Chelios lives in the Detroit area with his wife, Tracee, and their two daughters, Caley and Tara. His two sons, Dean and Jake, are currently enrolled at Michigan State University and play hockey for the Spartans.

I'm colorblind so I sniffed around the webs and found this awesome color test.
I'm apparently blind as f*ck. My score was 122 after like 10 minutes of fidgeting with so many ultra-similar squares and I can do a bit better, third row looks pretty similar all the way through, but it just hurts my eyes so I stopped, the longer I look, the more everything blends together.
So guys, how good are you?
According to Photoshop color blindness simulation, this is how I see the test.. OHGODWHY?!
I hope you guys see how screwed am I
EDIT: After my second try, I got 75, but that was hard

I did this test 5 years ago and thought I'd give my middle aged eyes another go at it.
I did it twice and got a 20 score and then a 0 score on the second try (nothings changed in 5 years). The second time around I concentrated harder, enlarged the page/swatches, cropped around the dark space and blacked out the screen background.
I did it really fast and got a score of 8 I like it, I think I'll do it regularly to keep me on my toes. Thanks for posting.
I'm 100 I never know I'm colorblind until now. This is unbelievable. I'll practice with it until I get good score.
Thanks for the great test link.
I'm 49.
Not bad in my eyes considering I'm working with one real lens and one artificial.

It's probably a good idea to merge this with the already existing thread if possible.
on a sidenote, it was pretty easy to get 0 for me. It's great that I can see the colours, applying them in a painting is a completely different matter
I got 8 but I think I broke my eyes in the process.
11, but I think it was beginning to trigger the beginnings of an opthalmic migraine.
Sweet - apparently I have perfect colour thingy!
...just worked with what came up - no enlarging of swatches etc - been a bit worried about my eyes lately, so this cheered me up. thanks!

That was neat. I think the quality of your monitor will affect your results.
I did it first with a very zoomed-out screen, and quite quickly. 25 score.
Then I zoomed it a lot, double-checked each movement and position. Perfect score!
I don't know if you can extrapolate anything from that.
I had some trouble with the blue-green section, though. I've long experienced some small amount of difficulty telling the difference between very close turquoise colours, and the bar graph seemed to back that up on the results of my first test.
The first time I did this I got 44 or something but I rushed it. However on my second try I did much better lol

Dover Offers Potential Pitfalls for Denny Hamlin
By admin | May 31, 2013
By Richard Allen
The Dover International Speedway, with its high speeds and concrete canyon like straightaways, is known for hard crashes. And that is exactly what Denny Hamlin cannot afford to have happen this weekend, or any other for that matter.
As anyone who follows NASCAR with any degree of regularity knows, Hamlin suffered a serious back injury in March when he crashed while racing for the win with Joey Logano during the Sprint Cup Series race on the two-mile track in Fontana, Calif. The result for the 32-year-old Virginia native was to be sidelined for several weeks.
But even with those four missed races, Hamlin and his Joe Gibbs Racing team still cling to the hope of making the Chase for the Sprint Cup. Because of the provision that allows for two 'wildcard' entrants into the 10-race playoff, this driver and team could still qualify if they can make it into the top-20 of the standings and Hamlin can be one of two drivers outside the top-10 of the standings with the most race wins.
At this point, every track offers potential pitfalls for Hamlin. However, the one-mile facility in Dover could possibly be the most hazardous of all.
Due to the fact that the Delaware facility has a horse racing track in its infield, there is little room to work with for the racing surface. Each straightaway is very cramped with walls closely lining each side. As a result of this crowding and the high speeds attained around the high-banked concrete track, there is little room for error. And those errors could be of a driver's own making or those of someone else.
Even after his doctor's clearance, Hamlin does not need another hard crash so soon after his recovery.
But aside from the obvious health risk involved, Hamlin cannot afford a crash or any other setback on the track due to his precarious points situation. He currently ranks 24th in the standings, 53 points behind 20th place Tony Stewart. And while that sounds like a margin that could be potentially overcome, one has to remember that with the current points system in use by NASCAR, that number places him more than a full race worth of points behind his ultimate goal.
And to make matters even more primed for potential disaster for Hamlin, Dover is not one of his better tracks. In 14 races there, he has no wins and only five top-10 finishes. His average finishing position on 'The Monster Mile' is little better than 20th place.
Needless to say, this weekend trip to the Dover International Speedway offers plenty of potential peril for Denny Hamlin. However, there is a bright side to this story. The Joe Gibbs Racing Toyotas have shown tremendous strength throughout the 2013 season. No doubt, Hamlin is hoping that will be enough to overcome any other hazards 'Miles the Monster' might hurl in his direction.

Rich, I know i am off subject but NASCAR is in deep trouble. I have attended 4 races this season to be amazed by the amount of empty seats.Talking to fans who have attended races for as long as I have [30 years]you get lots of opinions about why.I believe there is disconnect with the drivers,a lack for the love of fast cars as in the muscle car and sport sedan days of the 70's and 80's,and other prominent reasons as well.One thing for sure,someone in Daytona better wake up and take off the rose colored glasses!

Well, you called it. Hamlin blew a tire. Hopefully he didn't injure himself again.
Loose nut, I agree with you about the crowds. The crowd looked good at Martinsville & Darlington. Dover's crowd has been diminishing for several years. The racing over the past 5 years at Dover has been boring as heck. This race, the powers that be at Dover added a new attraction. A 45 minute to an hour wait at ALL the gates due to some new security thing they implemented. Not, of course, that anyone thought about how it would impact fans getting inside the track.
As annoyed as I was at being forced to wait in line for 45 minutes in the heat and humidity and blazing sun, when the racing was it's usual Dover "grind" and parade laps. ZZZZZ. Count me out. I won't bother to go back in the fall.

I have figured out a great scam to try to win a race. Let's say you're restarting in the closing laps of the race. Let's say you are restarting in first, and the guy restarting in second has a car you know for a fact you cannot beat on this particular day. Let's go out on a limb here and say your name is Montoya and JJ is behind you and this is your only chance to actually win on an oval.
So here is the scam: you brake check the restart, pile everybody up behind you, and when JJ hits the gas within the box right where you should have, JJ looks to the world like he did the world's most colossal jump on the restart. Then you further the scam by hanging back and not retaking the position he is trying to give back. You do this in full knowledge of the rule book, in that you know Na$car will black flag said car that you know you can't beat, leaving you a clear shot to the checkered flag.
It didn't work on this day in that JP did not ultimately win the race, but it sure did take the best car out of contention. Since it worked so well in that regard, I can imagine seeing the move tried again.

Dave in Ohio,
Of course it's very easy to negate having that happen. If you are the 2nd place car and know you are better than the guy in f1sdt, don't try to beat the leader to the line. Concentrate on maintaining second place knowing you will pass them within the first 5 laps. After all it wasn't a GWC, there were 20 laps and, if as you say, Jimmie's car was that great (which I agree with) you have nothing but yourself to blame for being greedy on the restart.
Why was it so important for Jimmie to be leading when they got to turn one. It wasn't! He just got greedy and got burned this time.

MyWi isn't Free..although I have to admit I've owned both myself n Both work well for me..
One thing i have to admit is better on android is the tethering ability. Not only is it built in with a simple switch, but phones like the Evo 4G create real infrastructure hotshots. My cousin has one and he uses it to play Modern Warfare 2 online on 360..can't do this with the iPhone. Yet anyway.
The reason I challenged the writers post was becuase I've always valued MMI as a great source and I felt this strayed a bit.
I'll be sure to line up with the sheep next time.
And no please dont be a sheep, lets just move forward
PDANet does not require a desktop client anymore unless you want to connect via USB. I actually used it before when I've been on the road and found it to be a little buggy but I updated and gave it a try anyway. The new hotspot feature is really cool! It let me password protect my
network. But the really big surprise was the speed. I was on an Edge network at the time and it was blazing fast!! You guys should try it out. And no I don't work for June Fabrics.
I own PDANet, Modem and MyWi. For all it's worth MyWi performs better in all instances for me. Since I have "grandfather" unlimited data, I've cancelled my internet service at home. PDANet was a bit buggy for me and Modem does not have wifi tethering. Just an opinion.
Really nice app, I've been looking at this on Cydia for a few weeks though lol.
I have used PDANet in the past, I think I may have even purchased it before (I can't find the receipt, so I am not sure). That being said, here is problem that I had with PDANet:
It used a proxy to do it's work, the setup it used ended up draining the battery twice as fast as other solutions. With MyWi, if I have the phone plugged into the wall or Computer, the battery still charges up to 100%, with PDANet, it would drain within two hours.
The other problem that I had with PDANet is that it was a pain to setup on WiFi, you first had to create an AdHoc network from your computer, then join it, then start PDANet, with MyWil, I can simply leave it running in the background and connect anytime that I want. And PDANet would only work about 30% of the time that I wanted to connect to it.
I do not know if it still does this or not, but since I already have purchased MyWi and it is working, I see no reason to find out.
for the app being free im not complaing works fine for me on my iphone 4 and its not bad speeds either
mywi is cool but u got to pay for it -_-
this is free if u dont like it then why use it go pay for mywi then
Re-hashing the OLD problems/issues ....
Any more comments on the CURRENT release?
wow..i just read through all these pages and i dont think i read one review that was half informative
i have the new 4.1 version of the iphone. How do I get this app?
Why PDANET is not showing in Cydia. What apt do I need to have
wait for it...
aww, never mind.

A Series Of Poems in issue 12 of "The Superstition Review"
Wherever it was I thought I was
I guess, by now, I've already been.
I need a subway token, a mystery
and a buttered bagel in a brown paper
I need a better excuse to get a tattoo.
I'm thinking about ink, and how it
and the way we use it to see what we
A token, a turnstile, a possible ride on
cross-town shuttle as it tucks its tail
leaps the rails. Going through the
takes so much time.
The ride is the riddle, the unclaimed
The dirty teacup my son left in the
I want to believe in not being noticed.
I want to remember, I want to forget;
The hours I've wasted, the dimes I've spent,
the anger I've fed with a silver spoon
while my
daughter, in the green lizard T shirt,
and torn
up jeans, the knees gaping, runs from my
an unspooled thread I must catch in
my fist.
That's the lost ticket, the unseen map;
the thing I am doing, when I'm doing
my best;
just riding it out, the turns I take, the
I make with my two front teeth on the
skin of the first peach of Summer.
This bird has flown, this bird has flown,
unmanned killer drone,
that I have worn these
forty-six years, in my hair;
crown of thorns, crown of stone.
Beauty, I will survive you.
I release you, frenemy.
Faulty economy of lips and thighs,
tricked-out bubble machine,
wither, you styrofoam cupcake.
I've chewed clean through the bit.
Tasting blood, I pulled you further.
I thought you were my mother.
Wrong, wrong, always wrong,
just the junk for my habit, all along.
On padded backseats, crashed at the bar.
On tipsy balconies, and shuttered rooms.
I tested, taunted, splayed you out.
Rode you hard, and shot as far as
you could take me.
O' floating Isle, O' floating Isle
the bridge is down. I'll cross no more.
My lipstick bleeds.
I squint to focus the glittering shore.
I think I am an orphan.
I know I am an orphan.
My ribs show through my borrowed dress
from this heavy grip, packed when I was young.
An orphan, yes, but I refuse to starve.
I'll snack on the crumbs you knocked from my tongue.
The hawkers are silent at last.
I cast no shadow at noon.
Unnoticed, I probe the wreckage alone.
Those muscular fish I caught in your trap,
picked down to the clean white bone.
Beauty, cruel mistress,
your dummy has come undone.
I don't ask your forgiveness.
I bear my own witness,
for what is still to come.
Slack, slack, slack.
Loosen your grip. Don't look back.
I won't come crawling.
Cover your tracks.
I'll keep my scars. I'll give you your strap.
A weapon, a weapon
we all want a weapon,
the cinch and the whip
on shivering flesh.
No pleasure we take without pain.
This ill-gotten gain,
we are destined to lose.
I have too many shoes,
but none to fit
the shape of my fear.
False idol, I'm done reciting.
I'm not your puppet,
I do the writing.
My love is the knife, to cut you down to size.
I've trapped you forever,
in my children's eyes.
The Collector
She collects things in pairs,
has puppies on the brain
and worms in her hands.
If not worms, then ladybugs,
or even snails. She can spot
tiny lizards, half hidden beneath
seed pods from 20 feet away.
And often, as a last resort, when no
creature can be found for comfort,
she becomes one herself, pawing
the ground, snuffling and baying.
She has even cosied rocks,
arranging them into families, and
the viscous slug she holds out to me,
an angry welt on her rosy palm,
needs another to complete it.
"So slug can have love, Mommy," she says.
If I buy her the puppy, a pelted surrogate,
dig hard in the garden for a brace
of fat worms to keep in a jar,
will that satisfy her need?
Or will I have to bear her
loneliness, her desire to return
where I can no longer carry her.
One must have a mind of winter

The Lucky One
On the lip of the bottomless abyss of disappointment,
My grandmother sits in the rec-room,
sewing me a slip. The venetian blinds permit a greenish light,
so it must be Montclair New Jersey;
light as cool as her old Frigidaire.
I don't like to mention that I never wear skirts.
Her knuckles are swollen with leftovers,
But she's very good with the scissors. She snips coupons
for dead sisters ", 'Cause ya still gotta eat."
She was always the lucky one.
On the lip of the bottomless abyss of disappointment,
My sister pins a photo of our father to the inside of her slip.
It's going to draw blood, blood the color of the roses in her hair.
I help her to walk down the aisle, every step is a calculated miss.
Soon, she's going to shed her flesh and fly away.
It's a girl thing. She can't win, but if she did
she'd have to be the lucky one.
On the lip of the bottomless abyss of disappointment,
I treat all the sisters to manicures at the mall,
nails the color of gravestones. I could finally let my hair down,
but I cut it off. Everyone's getting along, they're so chatty,
The dead aunties laugh at my sister's jokes, and
I have to tell them when it's time to go, or we'd all be stuck
at Paramus Park forever, that cauldron for cut-rate alchemies,
no finer place to transmutate the losses.
On the lip of the bottomless abyss of disappointment,
my mother removes paintings from the wall of the hotel room in Paris.
Her slip is showing and the Eiffel Tower, tall and gray
is standing at the window, singing a chanson with top hat and tails,
but she doesn't notice. Some romance. She steps back to admire her work,
all the empty places. Her masterpiece.
On the lip of the bottomless abyss of disappointment
My sister and I fly to Rome. She's not afraid to keep me company.
The traffic is streaming all around us, it's time to visit the ruins.
We consult a map and look just like tourists. She checks first one way,
then the other. She takes my hand and pulls me in. Way to go, Kiddo,
how to be the lucky one.

I just completed this project and it looks great. The use of two yarns together, mixing every other row and fading into one another is simply gorgeous. I improvised a bit. There was enough yarn in the kit to add an extra pattern repeat to total three. I bought two additional balls of the Earth color to work a border around the edges and it is stunning. Fun pattern, great colors and very warm. A+.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Discussions and surveys are two ways to gather input from others.
Discussions are organized by topic. Anyone can post a message to a discussion, and multiple people can respond in a free-form manner. Surveys are presented as sets of questions, and answers are collected and organized.
Note This article refers to an example SharePoint site created by Adventure Works, a fictitious company that manufactures bicycles, bicycle components, and bicycling accessories.
For example, the members of the Marketing team at Adventure Works use discussions to informally discuss projects or even logistics, such as sharing rides to events. The managers of the Marketing team use a survey to collect feedback from employees about team processes and team morale.
On a Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 site, a discussion board is a place where team members can discuss topics and brainstorm with each other. A discussion board is set up similar to a newsgroup in which any participant can post a message, and multiple people can reply to it.
The discussion board shows the most recent discussion first, as well as the number of replies for each discussion. This way, you can quickly see which discussions have the most recent activity and which ones are the most popular. Members can also customize their own views of the discussion board.
To see the replies to a discussion topic, click the title of the topic.
When you create a discussion item or reply to an existing discussion, you can format your text, insert a hyperlink or table, and link to a picture on the Web.
By default, people in the Members group can participate in a discussion in the following ways:
Surveys enable you to present specific questions and collect the answers in an organized format, similar to a poll. You can create several types of questions, such as multiple choice, fill-in, and ratings.
Depending on how a survey is set up, you may be able to respond to that survey only once. If you cannot finish answering every question in a survey during one session — for example, if you are interrupted while answering the questions — you can save a partial response and then finish it later. This saves your answers and closes the survey.
If you are the person creating the survey, you can add branching logic so that the survey changes according to the responses to specific questions. In a survey that branches, questions appear only if they apply to someone's situation. If the questions don't apply, the person skips that set of questions or is offered a different set of questions.
After people respond to the survey, you will want to see the results, including any patterns in the results. Surveys provide a graphical review of responses, similar to a chart, or you can export your results to another program, such as Microsoft Office Excel 2007.
To make the survey most effective, do the following when you design the survey:

Brad Gero: Palm Beach Class 6A › 5A › 4A All-County baseball Player of the Year
Park Vista senior
Brad Gero, of Park Vista High School (left) and Adaric Kelly of Trinity Christian are the 2010 Palm Beach County Baseball Players of the Year. (June 3, 2010)
Park Vista, senior
Position: Pitcher-outfielder
Stats: 9-2 record, 0.68 ERA, 70 strikeouts, 71.2 IP, .351 BA
Of note: Gero was voted by area coaches as the FACA District 17 Class 6A Player of the Year and selected to play in the FACA all-star games in Sebring. A control pitcher who issued only nine walks this season, he tossed a two-hit shutout against a strong Jupiter lineup. He will join battery mate Peyton Walsh at Daytona Beach State College this fall. They both played in two state final four tournaments during their careers.
Athlete's quote: "Playing in two final fours has been an experience I'll never forget. I'm looking forward to a new challenge in college, and having Peyton there will really help my comfort level."

I got these off whiskey for around $30.
These are sick shades. I have a thin face and these fit just right. They are sort of like '70s style roundish aviators.
I have them in the limeaid-bronze and they look rad.
The front looks dark in the picture but it is actually a subtle blue that you can see in the light.

I've used the Oakley A frames before these and I like these way better. So much peripheral, they are awesome for park.
These never fogged up on me. I have a small face and was worried they would look strange on me since they are so huge, but I look like a badass.
I bought the white with orange-chrome lenses and they were perfect during bright days, but also weren't too dark later in the day when the shadows came out. Buy them.

President Obama Wants a Longer School Year ... Do You?
I know True Mom. Her daughters are both teenagers, one still in High School and the other In College. She was a sucsessful Marketing Analyst and quit a six figure job when they were born to stay home. They struggled for years, but she and her husband thought her staying home was the best all around for her girls. I watched the relationship that they have, and knew that this was THE relationship I wanted with my son. It isnt about "Playtime" it is about the mental well-being of your family. An overstressed child= overstressed parents.
I think it's obscene that parents don't want a better, more realistic school schedule for their children. Year round, 9-5 school with a one week break per season is ideal!
Wow. Ok, let's look at one of our most famous technological leaders-Japan. Hmmm…what about their school system? Those kids can go to school sometimes Mon-Sat and with the addition of school related clubs they can spend all day until around 6pm "in school" and that is year round. Of course, they're doing well scholastically!! That's ALL they're doing! I am proud that America has been able to hold on to our priority of family time, at least for a little while. Spending time in a classroom chewing up and spitting out bits of knowledge for a standardized test so the school system, or country for that matter, can LOOK good is the problem! So I don't think making them sit in said classrooms longer to do this even more, is not the answer. I have heard this from countless teachers, when the focus turns from looking good on a standardized test so the school system can receive more funding from the State, to actually teaching with the goal of learning AND retaining knowledge-only then will we see our children succeed academically. When we stop piling more book work on them and engage and challenge their ideas will we see real progress and thinking for themselves! When we allow them appopriate breaks to enjoy family time and use their ima (THEY ARE CHILDREN!) ginations and creativity will we see success!
Kids DESPARATELY NEED LONGER SCHOOL YEARS!! Kids now are only legally required to be in school is ONLY 180 days - that's it!! Kids require year round school, not only for retention, but to learn responsiblity and have more opportunities to have broader schedules that include more art/language skills/math classes. Most U.S. children are WOEFULLY and EMBARASSINGLY undereducated and undermotivated. Kids no longer have chores,after school jobs, nothing. They lollygag in school and come home, sit on their bum and play video games. I'm sorry, any parent who doesn't want the best for their children, feel free to keep your kids in a stunted school year but the real parents want the best for their kids and their futures which is a year round school year!!
Momto3girls -um, not sure how long you spent teaching in Japan, but I taught there for 4 years and their education system is EXCELLENT!! And school is not "all they do" - far from it. Family is much bigger focus in Japan than it's ever been in the U.S.
Children in Japan are in school year round with 1-2 week breaks per season. There days run from 9-4/5 EXPRESSLY to match their parents so they can all spend their mornings and evenings together. Their days are very well rounding with academics,music, arts and sports. I've never seen a better education system.
I just can't understand how immature and selfish parents can be not wanting a great education for their children.
NO! What happened to the "quality time" with your kids the democrats always chanted?
Do you really want NO time in the whole week to spend with your kids???
This is utterly ridiculous. You don't need longer hours for kids to learn. YOU do need to fire incompetent teachers. My neice stayed with us and for 2 years in grade school did not do well in math. Instead of her teacher working with her or even trying to see WHY she couldn't do the multiplication/division she ignored her. I taught her how to add/subject correctly FIRST. Yes, it was THAT simple. We played rummy every night at dinner time, (she thought we were just having fun) but I had an ulterior motive. I told her SHE had to add the scores. I would double-check it. After several weeks, she had no problem doing her math and her grade climbed.
Hell no! more kids r gonna commit suicide!!!!!!!!
Very good commentary. The opposite day I used to be told approximately this website online and wanted to can help you realize that I have been gratified, going through your posts. I will probably be signing up to your weblog's feed and can look ahead to your subsequent post.
Very interesting info, i'm waiting for more !!! Keep updating your website and you will have a lot o readers
