The key to keeping the kids off your computer is to show them this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MskqyR5DRpQ

My kids don't even know I have a key logger. Good luck to them.

I would tell him if he is too stupid to cover his tracks on a computer without getting caught he is too stupid to cook meth.

testing anyway.. here is a link http://www.bbcode.org/reference.php/ Only the bold, italics, and underline seem to work.

Have you considered giving your friend an all expenses paid trip to Aruba?

Happy Birthday!! :flowerforyou:

The best birthday I ever had was the year my wife forgot my birthday. I didn't care at all. It just took me off the hook for any future birthday, anniversary, whatever!

I know right??! It was from years of being beat down by my wife, 4 daughters, female cat and female dog.

I would like to think it was my post that set her off.

You could blame the college administration. Seems like this would be a reason you would have a union representing you. To protect you from this type of abuse.

I guess I am just trying to understand how that happens. I had a brief period in my life when I worked for a supermarket in the deli section. I had many years of experience working in food service and in deli's in hs/college so I wasn't green. I was used to making ~10 per hour for that type of work. Because I had to join a…

Why is he considered a part-time instructor if he works full time?

Relax... Clearly my fun is different then your fun. I have 4 daughters and my wife had as much input as me in their names :) I am partial to Lexie.

I am confused. Why is he even allowing you input?

Georgia recently had a scandal where teachers were changing answers on standardized tests in order to meet their goals so that they would get their bonuses. Good Times! If evaluations are too cumbersome or impossible to quantify for every condition then remove evaluations and bonus pay. Make up the difference in regular…

Apparently in Chicago... http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/ezra-klein/wp/2012/09/10/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-chicago-teachers-strike-in-one-post/ http://www.teacherportal.com/teacher-salaries-by-state/

A teacher's pay is not tied to test scores. If a teacher makes 75k per year they will make that much regardless of what they do. Teachers want bonuses. In order to provide teachers with a bonus they need to be evaluated. Rahm wants to evaluate teachers with 40% of their score relying on standardized test scores. Charter…

The evaluation system used in Chicago Charter schools is more stringent then the one the union teachers are fighting against. The Charter schools in Chicago consistently out perform the unionized schools in Chicago. They want bonus pay but they don't want to be held accountable for when their students don't pass. Their…

At least we both agree that Wendy Rosen is stupid!

If someone wants to vote twice there is no law that will prevent it. Lets just stop pretending voter fraud doesn't exist as the reason we shouldn't require voter identification.

I did 9 weeks of P90X when I was ~360 lbs. Only reason I stopped was because of the flu and then holidays. Never started up again. During the 9 weeks I probably maintained about 3k calories per day although I don't know since I was not using this site yet. I lost about 30 lbs during the process and always had lots of…

Voter fraud never happens... until it happens. How stupid is this woman? http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/politics/bs-md-wendy-rosen-withdraws-20120910,0,3764352.story

This is directly from the article. "Sticking points for the union and the school system included issues such as compensation, job security, merit pay and an evaluation system." So two of the three issues deal with pay. I grouped merit pay with an evaluation system since they go together.

A lot of times financial aid offices have students working in the front taking care of other student's questions. In many cases, they do not understand the laws. Make sure they know you are married and provider for a child. If they still give you problems ask to make an appointment with the Director of Financial Aid. When…

You do not need to be 24 to be considered independent for financial aid. If one or any of the following apply to you, then you will be considered an Independent Student: You are enrolled in a Masters program, Doctorate Degree, or graduate Certification program age does not matter, if you are enrolled in any of these types…

http://www.cnn.com/2012/09/10/us/illinois-chicago-teachers-strike/index.html?hpt=hp_t1 Thank you Unions!!! Chicago offered teachers a 16% pay increase over the next 4 years. Most people would be happy just to work in this economy. Many of us took pay decreases to keep our jobs. What do Chicago teachers do? They go on…

GWB had 9/11 and inherited a recession in his first term. He also had two wars, one of which I don't agree with but that is for another thread. Despite that, the economy was in recovery by the time he was up for reelection. In addition, the unemployment rate was >2% less then it is right now when he was up for reelection.…
