Hayden Panettiere's dress seems...well, she's just so cheerful. I think that alone should get her off a worst-dressed list. It's a horrible dress, though.
I don't think hers was any worse than Kristen Bell's. I don't understand the trend of putting tiny, tiny, people in large shapeless wads of cloth. Kids today!
Of course, I also don't understand all these young men on the bus buckling their pants UNDER their butt-cheeks. Not low on the hips, but actually so that the waistband goes where I would think their penis would be, and the crotch is at their knees, and they look like they have tiny, tiny cartoon legs! It is very strange.
Stephanie, I can't speak to the test results, but my impression is female-to-male vaginal intercourse transmission of HIV is actually pretty rare; there's a 25% chance of transmitting the virus to a child during birth, assuming there is no treatment. If HIV status is known, they give drugs and do a C-section and the risk is very low. (This is Wikipedia talking).
There are ways today could have gotten worse.
They have happened.
I just saw Jenna Fischer's dress. Oh, dear.
And the local B&N has The Book.
I bought it at the local Borders over the weekend. It's this week's lunchtime reading.
Which means I'd better get going.
happy birthday, Lee.
Motivation for the able but unwilling.
1) rewards for perfect assignments - as in the ability to skip something.
For me the killer was 30 math problems - I always did the last few, that were more complex - so that I knew what I was doing - which was the pt of the homework - If there had been some sort of system where if I did the 5 hardest correctly and didn't have to do the rest _ I would have done even better in math -
2) serious repercussions for not handing in an assignment. Even ungraded stuff has to be turn in. since this is work skills you are teaching - the consequences should be as serious as not doing something at work - x number of missed , undone or incomplete assignments means not a zero in the homework part of the grade - but a drop of a letter grade ( depends on the class - but some where between two and 5 assignments missing)
Happy Birthday, Lee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope your neck is feeling better.
Thank! I am feeling better today.
Happy Birthday Lee and b.org!
