Susan you should be reading Slacktivist as an antidote to all those dominionist blogs -- [link] Fred, the blogger is awesome and a huge Buffy, The Tick, and BSG fan so things like that are often in his posts. And he has Left Behind Fridays where he's doing a chapter by chapter disection of the book. It's really quite interesting.
Book: I am a Shepherd. Folks like a man of God. Mal: No, they don't. Men of God make everyone feel guilty and judged.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I'm already a big Slacktivist fan, and never miss a Left Behind Friday!

A quick run & post, because I had to share...
Now, the comic strip 'Get Fuzzy' is usually pretty darn funny, but rarely does it get as visually disturbing as this - [link]
Yeah. Scared now.

Left Behind Fridays are a very good thing, it's one of the things I look forward to each week.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Y'all help me.
My bosses had a really good idea for our end of the year presentation. I'm usually the one stuck doing it late one night at the conference, so I appreciate the simplicity of their idea.
It's Most Wanted posters with the staff member and their stats. So our coworker who travels a lot will have WANTED: Escapee from Dallas office last seen in Chicago, New Orleans, etc. Great, sounds good.
Then they start saying they want some sort of Mission Impossible thing at the end. !?!?! Stick with a theme people!!!! Also, I do not want to do a cheesy effect where a picture of the whole region disintegrates as the Mission Impossible theme starts up.
Sigh. Maybe I can change the wanted posters to like, CIA files or something.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
DJ, could the theme be from "Dragnet", instead?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I think everything now is to revolve around the theme.
Aaaaaand I was just asked if I could have something with a newscaster.
STOP OVER THINKING IT PEOPLE!!!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Happy Birthday, sumi!!!!
Tracking is definitely valuable in high school, and I can see it's value for math as young as 7th grade. Earlier than that, though, I think it's generally a bad idea.
Totally agree with this. My school starts math tracking in 7th grade and our math scores show the advancement by both gifted students and not-so-gifted students. The gifted ones really soar and the struggling students get more individualized attention and grow faster. Seems to work.

I cannot even begin to express how profoundly uncomfortable school has become. I feel a rant coming on, but I will try to restrict it to my LJ.
