I wonder if anyone really gets this message. First, I’m NOT a resident of the USA (not a commentary, please read on), and as such, and please keep this in mind, NOT ELIGIBLE FOR ALL FREE MERCHANDISE AVAILABLE TO ONLY AMERICAN CITIZENS. I do not want Viagara. I don’t want to buy Microshaft software. I don’t want to spam other people to hock your cheap ass wares.
And mostly, I don’t want to go to University online. Not that telecommuting for a course is a bad idea, for many courses, quite the opposite. In fact, I moreso mean this…

Patti ShookAnd what were the results? Let me tell you some stories:.
Those janitors aren’t missing sleeping right now..
I’m not enjoying fighting over there..
12. Ninety six bottles of beer, three a’s, three b’s, one c, two d’s, thirty three e’s, seven f’s, three g’s, nine h’s, twelve i’s, one j, one k, six l’s, fifteen n’s, eleven o’s, eight r’s, twenty five s’s, twenty two t’s, two u’s, six v’s, eight w’s, four x’s, and five y’s on the wall.. I didn’t love dancing for two hours.. i need to get my nails manicured. Don’t you practice dancing as often as possible?. Have you missed reading recently?. But, I spent the next three weeks making a piece of simple software for her son to her specifications. While I was at it, I put 4-8 pictures on the screen as well. The simple program was finished and ready for her child to see. As I was presenting it, the other children in my classroom were pushing each other to get to the computer screen to touch that Touch Window and hear the word spoken again and again. I looked at these kids and was amazed. There was no music, no animation, nothing cute about this program at all, just real pictures with real words. I was stunned. I just watched the children. Within 10 minutes, several children who had never said a word in their life, made approximations of several words. I was hooked.. I am missing working right now.. Then I started ‘teaching’. You know, I’m a good teacher. (Well, maybe just an average teacher, but you get the jist). I know what good teachers do. Or I thought I did. I sat with the children at the computer. When they pressed the IntelliKeys’ keyboard or the Touch Window’ and the computer said the word, I repeated the word and then expanded on the word. After they had pressed the same word several times, I said, “That’s right, that’s a cat, can you find the dog?? Suddenly, I would see the child’s back get stiff, and before you knew it, he got up and left the computer. I didn’t understand. Just a few seconds ago, he loved it. What happened?. They are not missing shouting today.. Joseph has just remembered walking.. 12. Ninety six bottles of beer, three a’s, three b’s, one c, two d’s, thirty three e’s, seven f’s, three g’s, nine h’s, twelve i’s, one j, one k, six l’s, fifteen n’s, eleven o’s, eight r’s, twenty five s’s, twenty two t’s, two u’s, six v’s, eight w’s, four x’s, and five y’s on the wall.. I didn’t dislike cooking at home.. i am terribly hungry, do you want to get some food later on?. I have just practiced talking.. THE PARENT arrived back on the scene. She gave me a tape by Dr. Laura Meyers from UCLA. I listened to that tape eight times. I listened over and over and heard the same thing again and again. Ms. Meyers said, ‘These kids may need to hear a word many times (perhaps 72 times) before they ever say a word. A computer can be patient and say it the same way every time.’ Now I understood. I was not patient enough. I did not allow the student to hear the words over and over. I was interrupting their learning by interjecting, when they were totally engrossed in what they were doing. I was asking questions they were not ready to answer. They were just learning language. They didn’t have the answers yet.. The politicians dislike playing all day long.. Then I started ‘teaching’. You know, I’m a good teacher. (Well, maybe just an average teacher, but you get the jist). I know what good teachers do. Or I thought I did. I sat with the children at the computer. When they pressed the IntelliKeys’ keyboard or the Touch Window’ and the computer said the word, I repeated the word and then expanded on the word. After they had pressed the same word several times, I said, “That’s right, that’s a cat, can you find the dog?? Suddenly, I would see the child’s back get stiff, and before you knew it, he got up and left the computer. I didn’t understand. Just a few seconds ago, he loved it. What happened?. Does Joe hate laughing over there?.
EDWARDS: But what have we seen? Relentless negative attacks against John. So in the weeks ahead, we know what’s coming, don’t we?. The gardners regret skiing well.. i need to get a pedicure. my feet smell and itch.
This email just made me howl. And for those of you not familiar with me, I’m a HIGHLY OVEREDUCATED BOFFIN (read brainy geek), here are just a few of the reasons.
1. Somebody offering higher education to me should know how to spell deal.
2. A PhD in two weeks? I did two years of fluids with satan himself, Dr. Pollard, and it took the whole time to finally get a few simple concepts. So I ask, how worthwhile is your PhD you get with two weeks of “effortTM“?
3. What the fuck is the rest of that email about? Sounds to me this whole course is more about the narcotics experimentation part of “higher” learning rather than getting something of value.
As such, obviously, this is some asshole trying to get rich quick, making suckers believe they’ll get smart quick. So you know what we should do? Everybody, and I mean everybody who reads this, forward ALL OF YOUR SPAM TO this email addy…
yxbtsptzsdxyjp@aemail4u.com. No, it won’t kill this asshole, but hey, it may fill his inbox far too readily.

All I have to say is WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED? It was supposed to be 6-0, Vancouver over Quebec, but, the team held hostage in Colorado had other plans. Quebec won 4-3 in overtime. Well, we got 1 point out of the ordeal.
I’m in denial. I don’t care. It doesn’t help when we played virtually the entire second period short handed. Somebody should tell the refs that the Bertuzzi rule (that infractions he may be responsible for cost him harsher penalties) DO NOT CARRY OVER TO THE REST OF THE CANUCKS ALSO. I don’t care that Quebec is the team that all this hub-ub started with. Grrr. At least there was some humour Saturday night. Ottawa quietly dismantled the worst team in the history of the NHL, the Make Me Laughs, by a score of 8-0. What little relief that was.
In other news, George “Sulu” Takei, 68, came out of the closet, letting the world know the news that he has been with his partner, Brad Altman for 18 years. First off, wow, what a shock. And by shock, I mean meh. Secondly, even with this revalation, Sulu, a supporting character, still got laid way more than Picard ever did, though nobody tops the intergalactic sex this man has had…

So Sulu’s been with Brad since he was fifty. Wow. I still can’t imagine being fifty. Please don’t ever come. But, as such, fifty, as in percent, is just like half. And half of Takei’s current age is 34. And the actual score of the Canucks game was 3-4, for the Nordiques. So, as you can see, George coming out completely changed the whole outcome of the game, and as such, gives us
Utter Golden Perfection.
For our next game, Minnesota finally comes to GM Place to get trounced by the hometown faithful. And, as such, and just to one up Will, Tris, and the rest of Minnesota, the Bert-accu-scoreTM shall be
Vancouver 12 Minnesota 0
Cha Gheill!!

| Name three books you like: | Lord of the Rings, The Art of War, Tao Te Ching. |

Well, as all of you who watch hockey, well, read NHL hockey have noticed by now, all the arenas in the NHL have painted THANK YOU FANS in big clear letters right behind the blue lines. Not that this one little token will erase the missed 2004-2005 NHL season, but rather, as a token that both the players and owners recognize who really got hurt during the lockout, us, the fans. It’s not much, but a start, so long as they maintain the attitude that our enjoyment is paramount.
Well, except for two exceptions. Both Canadian. In Montreal, the message is more universal, as on one blue line it reads THANK YOU FANS, whereas the other blue line reads MERCI A NOS PATRONS, the obvious en francais version, to reach yet even more hockey fans.
So, not to be outdone by the greatest hockey franchise in NHL history, the assholes of the universe Toronto Make Me Laughs Maple Leafs, the only franchise, modified this phrase to read the following:
THANK YOU LEAF FANS.
I wonder if these village idiots realize something. There’s this lovely invention. Let us call it television. Now, Maple Leafs, and Maple Leaf fans, there’s something to realize about the power of this “box” called “television”. It allows the fans of your opponents to watch the game at home when their team visits Toronto to play. And you, Toronto, have singlehandedly, by being different, tainted the solidarity of thanking all the fans as a group, making your fans paramount, and by virtue, giving the bird

just to play to your fans, the suckers they are, so they’ll spend more money on your team than any other NHL fan in North America, despite the 38 year championship drought, and that you’re replacement leader

Eric Lindros, will never, EVER reach the promised land.
Leaf fans, Leaf management, for being elitist, clique minded, and overall whiny and irritating, by not playing as a team (hey, maybe that’s your first hint), I hereby give you

which will not only continue your championship drought, but create a playoff drought of 88 years, the equivalent of the White Sox championship drought. You sorely deserved the 8-0 thrashing defeat at home, to the hands of your provincial rivals, Ottawa.
Cha Gheill!

Okay, okay. I’m back. Kinda sorta. Anyhow, to important business.

As for the last game, the The Bert-accu-scoreTM was Vancouver 4 Quebec 3, whereas the fixed result the fans saw was 6-2, for the wrong side. What a bloody travesty. First off, Colorado fans of the Nordiques booed Bert loudly, not letting the guy forget about the terrible incident that is still referred to until this very day, and may haunt Todd throughout the rest of his career. Secondly, this, in the NHL’s lack of scheduling ability “wonderous insight”, the first of two back to back games at the same venue. And since there were two games, Quebec decided to get all of their goals out of the way in the first game, doubling their score. But, to keep things in balance, much the same way an equation is kept in balance, the Vancouver score was cut in half, which gives us
Utter GoldenTM perfection!
As such, the rubber match is tonight, and the score of the game shall be
Vancouver 6 Quebec 0
Cha Gheill!!
