Arizona Cardinals
Kurt Warner sees frustration in Larry Fitzgerald
The most successful years of Larry Fitzgerald's career came when Ken Whisenhunt was the head coach and Kurt Warner was throwing him the ball.
From 2007-2009, Fitzgerald caught 293 passes for 3,932 yards and 35 touchdowns.
He was dominant, gaining a reputation for being one of the league's best receivers.
Life has not been the same since Warner retired, though, with Fitzgerald's numbers slipping to the point where they are now: 11 games, 55 catches, 627 yards, four touchdowns.
Fitzgerald's struggles -- along with those of the Cardinals themselves -- have led to the Pro Bowler being visibly frustrated on the field, which is something his former quarterback has picked up on.
"I think any great player wants the ball in their hands as much as they possibly can," Warner told Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo Friday. "Yeah, I don't think there's any question Larry is used to having more success."
Warner, who is an analyst for the NFL Network, noted he thinks Fitzgerald cares more about winning than individual stats, so his mediocre start to the season was an afterthought when the Cardinals were 4-0.
"I think that's where it gets frustrating," Warner said. "Early in the year maybe he wasn't getting as many touches, but it's like 'it doesn't matter to me, we're finding ways to win and that's all that matters.'
"And then when you get into those stretches where you're not winning and you don't feel like you're able to really impact the game like you want to and like you can, that gets frustrating for any playmaker."
Fitzgerald and the Cardinals will look to both get back on track Sunday in New York against the Jets. It's the first time the teams have met since 2008, where the Cardinals lost 56-35.
Warner threw for 472 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions on the day, while Fitzgerald caught eight passes for 122 yards.

Versed in a variety of massage techniques and experienced in martial arts, licensed therapist Lee Campbell manipulates soft tissues to relax musculoskeletal systems and encourage proper alignment. Each session consists of three phases—warm-up and relaxation, massage coupled with trigger-point therapy, and corrective stretching plus core strengthening. During the Swedish or deep-tissue massage, soothing strokes and repurposed Whac-A-Mole mallets relieve tension, allowing muscles to expand for maximum protein absorbency. The Thai massage mixes in heated rocks to radiate warmth into the body, enhancing both deep-tissue massage and passive stretching. In addition to inviting relaxation, massage may ease aches, improve posture, and enhance sleep, while stimulating the nervous and lymphatic systems in humans and the human touch receptors in robots.

Now an international brand of premium ice cream, Häagen-Dazs began as a humble, family-owned business in the Bronx. In the 1920's, Reuben Mattus sold his mother's fruit ices and ice-cream pops out of a horse-drawn wagon. For decades, the family business thrived, and around 1960, Reuben officially founded Häagen-Dazs. He chose the name to evoke Old World traditions and quality craftsmanship, the bedrocks of the brand. Originally, the ice cream came in just three flavors—vanilla, chocolate, and coffee—made from fine ingredients gathered from around the world, such as Belgian dark chocolate, hand-picked vanilla beans from Madagascar, and ice shaved from lunar glaciers. The resulting confections so delighted sweet teeth that the brand grew exponentially, leading to the creation of dozens of flavors and forays into sorbets and frozen yogurts.
Though Häagen-Dazs ice cream was immensely popular in grocery shops, their first parlor didn't open until 1976. Not far from the Mattus family's original ice-cream beat, the Brooklyn store sold ice cream as well as treats such as sundaes, shakes, and cakes. Shops eventually dotted the country and globe, wherein friendly ice-cream scoopers fill waffle cones, blend frosty coffee and ice-cream drinks, and wrap ice-cream cakes in bright ribbons.
Sufficient Grounds Cafe's crew of baristas fills a.m. energy tanks with a menu bursting with delicious morning brews, breakfast and lunch fare, and tasty sweets. Staffers begin each morning by brewing up delicious coffee blends from around the world, as the espresso machine whirs into caffeinated action. Brew-thusiasts start with a base of espresso, mix in milk or soy, and stamp the potation with the dulcet taste of Torani syrups for decadent mochas or the signature Milky Way infused with chocolate and caramel. During the summer, when the days get longer and the southern hemisphere gets a bikini wax, patrons can sit on the open-air patio, surfing the year-round free WiFi while noshing on freshly made breakfast sandwiches, wraps, or pastries. The café boasts two convenient Little Rock locations, but if schedules are tight or legs have low battery power, free delivery is available within downtown.

Seattle Public Schools' maddening 'Blank Stare of Bureaucracy'
Two years ago, my son took a battery of tests at the expense of Seattle Public Schools qualifying him for a special program. When we inquired a few weeks ago about enrolling him, we were surprised to be told that he wouldn't be able to participate because we hadn't submitted a form back in the fall to apply for another set of testing.
Two months and a long string of email exchanges later, everyone agrees that my son didn't actually need any additional testing. But he still would not be admitted because there is only one process, and "no exceptions." There is no appeal or recourse.
As the director of an education think tank focused on national issues, it feels indulgent to write about my own kids' experiences in the public school system. But there's no better way to illustrate one of the reasons my organization pursues the work it does on behalf of students.
The ease with which Seattle Public Schools neglects or dismisses the needs of families — through what I call the "blank stare of bureaucracy" — is one of the primary elements driving parents, in this city and throughout the nation, to seek alternatives.
The percentage of children attending private schools in Seattle is more than double the national average. When charter schools come to town, SPS faces even more attrition. If the school system wants to compete — and, more importantly, if it wants to do right by the children who stay — it must adopt a customer service mindset.
There is no SPS form I know of that can be filled out online, and sometimes no dropbox in which to leave forms if you take time off of work to go to the John Stanford Center and find the relevant staff out of the office. There is no way to find out what, say, "Spectrum" means compared to "Advanced Learning Opportunities" without clicking through several schools' websites and emailing principals — and even then you still might not know.
I know people who are experts in education, but can't figure out how to make sure their kids can buy milk at lunch.
These are minor inconveniences, though, compared to the flippant way the system responds — or doesn't — to students' special needs. No matter how evident it is that your child's situation merits individual consideration, your inquiries are met by maddening emails that repeat the policy and assert that there are no exceptions.
If, on my first exchange with SPS, I'd been welcomed into the office and told that they couldn't make an exception to the policy, but wanted to help me find some other way to ensure my son's learning needs would be met next year, things would have been different. But I wasn't welcomed, and, it turns out, neither were many other parents. Special education services and assignment processes are so opaque (and often illegal) that the Seattle Special Education PTSA recently requested state intervention.
These kind of frustrations underscore why people sometimes turn to charter schools or pay to attend private schools at great cost. Parents want their kids to be in schools and school systems marked by humanity, trust, goodwill and customer service. There are many school districts around the country that have figured out how to be more flexible and responsive, hiring parent advocates and secret shoppers and embracing choice and innovation.
If Seattle Public Schools wants to thrive, and wants its students to thrive, in an increasingly competitive marketplace, it needs to start putting students before bureaucracy.

First, much of what Ms. Lake says is true. (I do find it disingenuous for her to not mention that her "education think tank" is mostly a charter school think tank but I digress.)
I'm fairly sure she is speaking of the Advanced Learning program at SPS which has been an ill-defined, hard-to-navigate place for years. In fact, it's why I started becoming a public education advocate (and you can see how far I have gotten in creating any change). There is progress underway via two taskforces to address this issue. But the office is underfunded and thus the very strict policies (that and AL parents tend to be a fairly aggressive group).
I have to smile that she is so late to this party. Most of us have been complaining for years that this program is confusing and ill-conceived. Maybe some of that advocacy she has for charters might be handy for this program because if she believes there are charters with great programs for advanced learners, they are few and far between. (And, judging from reading the charter school applications, most of the charters have little in the way of serving advanced learners.)
"There is no SPS form I know of that can be filled out online, and sometimes no dropbox in which to leave forms if you take time off of work to go to the John Stanford Center and find the relevant staff out of the office."
I assume she is still speaking of Advanced Learning because I know what she is saying is false for enrollment which is going on as we speak. There are online forms to enroll and a dropbox to put the enrollment forms in should you want to go to JSCEE.
"No matter how evident it is that your child's situation merits individual consideration, your inquiries are met by maddening emails that repeat the policy and assert that there are no exceptions."
You can tell that to Special Ed parents who have experienced far worse.
Welcome to Seattle Public Schools. If you want to learn more about advocating within our district, you might follow my blog, Seattle Schools Community Forum.
Posted Wed, Mar 5, 8:37 a.m.
I did forget to mention - Seattle Schools IS growing and by about 1,000 students a year. It has been for the last three years. It is one of very few urban districts in the country to be growing.
So while Lake is right about the customer service and the Byzantine nature of SPS, the numbers are on their side. While the private school numbers stay steady (and there are several reasons for that), the public school numbers continue to rise. And for areas like advanced learning and special education, charters will NOT fill that gap. Ms. Lake knows that data very well and charters are not the place you go for students with special needs.
Posted Wed, Mar 5, 8:51 a.m.
While I agree with what Ms. Lake says, I will say that she and others like here are the root cause of the problem.
Too many "centers," studies, forums or whatever you may wish to call them have paralyzed school systems across the nation. Lawyers have brought so many suits against the school system that many fear to teach for fear of what they may be sued for.
The school system is afraid to teach, discipline or violate any procedure set to placate offended parents. Offended parents are the bane of a good school. As a recently retired teacher told me: "When I started teaching 38 years ago, a person considered to be a good teacher had a strong lesson plan. Now, a teacher is considered good when they have a relationship with the parents and students."
This follows for administration, they are all fearful of loosing their jobs because of some whining parent. It is not just from the left of the political spectrum, or the right, it is from the whole spectrum right left and in the middle. This I believe is a result of thinking that every child is special. They are not; they are just like every other student in their classroom. They may be special to their parents, but we need to have that end at the front door. Once the student walks into school, they are just like every other student.
When this happens, administration and teachers will be free to address the real needs of every student no matter what their needs are.

Are you honestly in favor of one-size-fits-all, sage-on-the-stage, conveyor-belt learning?
Posted Thu, Mar 6, 6:43 a.m.
In reply to your multitude of "witty" comments, I do not think anybody indicated they favored that.
Posted Wed, Mar 5, 8:53 a.m.
No matter the hundreds of press releases telling the world about your innovation, leadership, excellence, tolerance and inclusiveness, no matter how many fancy brochures you print and mail, no matter how many luncheons are hosted with dynamic speakers...
Reality remains.
Posted Wed, Mar 5, 10:23 a.m.
The Great Recession forced Seattle Public Schools to close a funding gap of $125M. Special ed. programs were cut to the bone, while Ms. Lake and her colleagues pushed "reforms" that took dollars and supports out of our classrooms.
I am glad Ms. Lake has gotten out of the echo-chamber of her "think tank" and into the real world of education.
I have to wonder if Ms. Lake is referring to advanced learning?
Ms. Lake and her colleagues sit in their "think tanks" and push high stake testing. Perhaps now, Ms. Lake will understand problems with such systems.
Ms. Lake complains about bureaucracy, but she has pushed initiatives that involve high levels of bureaucracy and administration. So much so, that the folks in the John Stanford Center are busy meeting Federal and State Laws.
Ms. Lake complains about bureaucracy and lack of programing. Yet, Ms. Lake pushes charter schools and fails to acknowledge the additional burdens of bureaucracy and the dollars charter schools will take out of an underfunded system.
Regarding private schools, Ms. Lake is out of touch. Seattle is growing at leaps and bounds, and private schools are full.
I find this piece rather amusing.
Posted Wed, Mar 5, 12:21 p.m.
I have to admit Ms. Lake sounds naive, but what is really amusing is the amount of people willing to challenge and attack her piece anonymously. Do you really think your words have any weight when you won't even claim them? Ms. Lake might be misguided, in your opinion, but she is doing something.
I have an idea. Why don't you attack her children? It's effective, less chance of there being any repercussions, and Ms. Lake will then "get" it.
Posted Wed, Mar 5, 7:30 p.m.
Ms. Lake pushes controversial initiatives that has impacted the lives of tens of thousands of children. These initiatives have stressed an already stressed system. I "get it".
Posted Wed, Mar 5, 10:25 a.m.
I have to challenge Ms. Lake's assertions of one time process. Seattle Public Schools offers multiple opportunities to get a child into advanced learning. Of course, this involves "high stake testing"; something Ms. Lake promotes! You want to measure student progress? Then, have your child take the MAP test. If they had a bad day, the same test would disqualify them from advanced learning.
There are also multiple opportunities to provide your child with sp. ed. services.
Welcome to reality of your own policies.
Posted Wed, Mar 5, 10:27 a.m.
What decent parent knowingly and willingly places their child in the middle of an adults' political squabble, if they have other options?
Posted Wed, Mar 5, 11 a.m.
Ms. Lake. Move or attend private schools if you don't like the public school choices in Seattle. Then write to the School Board, the Mayor and City Council about your decision. Probably that won't help, but the reality is, your child comes first. Quit wasting time complaining, and make a decision that is specific to the kids needs.
Leaving may be your best decision for your kids benefit. Time wasted is not.
Posted Wed, Mar 5, 2:04 p.m.
Let's begin with some disclosure. Robin Lake, the author of this column, is the Director of the Center on Reinventing Education. In that role she has done research which has lent support to a number of Education Reform positions. This has earned her the enmity of public school activists.
The ground that divides them may surprise you.
Both Education Reformers and public school activists agree that the leadership of Seattle Public Schools is perfectly dreadful. In fact, I'm pretty sure that nearly all of the teachers, principals and school staff would agree with that as well.
There's widespread agreement that the district headquarters is impersonal, political, capricious, dishonest, non-responsive, arrogant, harmful to the district's mission, and totally unaccountable. The only question is: what can or should be done about it?
The school staff choose to just keep their heads down. All they want from the district is to be left alone. They have learned that any intervention from the district will be a negative experience for the school and the community. Every single public school in the city is trying to fly under the district's radar. Fortunately, the district headquarters staff are so incompetent and detached that nearly every school is successful in avoiding the district's notice. This does leave the schools in a sort of anarchy of benign neglect. It makes the selection of the principal an intensely critical decision since that principal will be granted (or will usurp) broad authority essentially without any supervision. With this authority they are free to adopt their own math textbooks (good!) or dismantle programs (bad!).
The public school activists bring their complaints and concerns to the Board - the only people in the District who are accountable to the public. They continue to believe that the solution to the problem is to elect courageous people of integrity to the school board. Then, the idea goes, those people will use their authority to insist on compliance with policy, regulations, and laws, and to require the superintendent and the staff to adhere to the District's stated values. Unfortunately, that just doesn't happen. No matter who is elected to the school board, within a year that Board director switches from representing the community to the District to representing the District to the community. Within a year they go from firebrand to branded cattle. Why? Because they want to preserve their working relationships with the superintendent and the staff. That's why they don't enforce policy. That's why they vote to approve crappy ideas that run counter to everything they promised when they campaigned. I don't know why activists continue to believe that this is a problem that can be solved by courageous people with integrity on the school board.
What do Education Reformers propose? Get rid of the district administration. Replace school districts - with their ineffective bureaucracy and bloated senior staffs - with corporate management companies operating charter schools. The introduction of the private sector brings all kinds of other influences, but an NPO - a true NPO - would only mean liberation from the burden of the district administration.
I have been a public school activist for over 13 years. For all of that time I have done everything I could do to encourage School Board directors to do their jobs - to enforce policy, to require the superintendent and staff to adhere to the District's stated values, and to confirm compliance with regulations and laws. I have never been successful. After all of this time I have only recently become convinced that this strategy will never be successful. Even if it were, it would not be sustainable because it is dependent on specific personalities. We already have all of the right rules in place. It's just that nobody follows them. Seattle Public Schools has a culture of lawlessness. It is a sick, dysfunctional culture that creates bad outcomes.
Again, this dysfunction is in the headquarters - not in the schools.
Posted Wed, Mar 5, 3:49 p.m.
I write from Bainbridge, where I am experiencing almost identical bureaucratic obstacles here.
There are a couple of other interesting similarities. One is the almost knee-jerk response that anyone gets who dares to criticize public schools. It is like criticizing your church. Some things are supposed to be above it all. Most of these defenses are of the "they're doing the best job they can" nature. And naturally it is easier to say that money would fix everything, since this obviously puts a fix beyond management control.
I've come to the belief that only charter schools and other alternatives will get the public schools to change, when those alternatives have reached critical mass. Thirty years ago we thought the best we could do in our public mail service was "special delivery", and then Fedex came along, when you "absolutely, positively" had to have it there the next day. Now, defensively, the postal service has gotten in the overnight business, but still without the absolutely, positively. Unless they have to change to survive, our big public institutions probably won't.

I worked for Seattle Schools for over 20 years. Its bureaucracy was byzantine then; it sounds even worse now. However, most of the people I worked with--in schools and in administrative offices--did give a damn and gave good service.
Posted Wed, Mar 5, 5:38 p.m.
Why must she say "special program" if she means APP? Does she know she'd be a thousand times less likely to get readers' sympathy? Ooh, ouch! Yes, I touched that. But it's true. A person with a super-smart kid is in a different pickle than a person with a kid with learning disabilities. They've both got pickles, but they land on different spots on the sympathy meter and she knows that and so she starts this whole thing off from a point of strategic disingenuousness.
Posted Wed, Mar 5, 6:11 p.m.
Oh, and, "But there's no better way to illustrate one of the reasons my organization pursues the work it does on behalf of students."
Heck yeah there is, my otherwise "data-driven, evidence-baced" friend. You can't really believe that AND pursue the line of work and rhetoric you do. An anecdote always comes in handy when the evidence doesn't quite scratch your itch.
Oh, and, "If, on my first exchange with SPS, I'd been welcomed into the office and told that they couldn't make an exception to the policy, but wanted to help me find some other way to ensure my son's learning needs would be met next year, things would have been different. "
Gack! But you push policies that would take even more resources away from already impecunious districts. How are we paying for the employee who would be welcoming you into their office? Welcoming you and every other disgruntled parent for a nice cuppa? And how loudly would you be complaining about those dollars not going "into the classroom?" Waste! This is why we need charters! No one to welcome me at the district! This is why we need charters! I'm mad! This is why we need charters!
Talk to all the parent advocates in this district who have had the same experiences as you and tried to HELP the district get better (yeah, it's hard, frustrating work, baby - just about everything that matters is) instead of running off to smart bomb it from a "think tank." Really. Welcome all of us into your office to hear our complaints and tell us why, regretfully, you must trash our kids' schools in order to keep SPS "competitive." Maybe that would make things different.
You know, upon several re-reads, this piece doesn't even make sense.
Posted Wed, Mar 5, 9:59 p.m.
I hates me a typo! "Evidence-baSed." What are you going to do?
Reflecting, this was kind of a mean, unhelpful comment from me. Robin Lake is a nice person, but she shouldn't have the bullhorn she does and she makes me super peevish. I don't like to add to internet bile. And I do think she means well. Just too bad about the conclusions she's made and the wheel to which she's decided to put her shoulder.
Posted Wed, Mar 5, 7:47 p.m.
I am sure there are exceptions, but from my experience SPS is one of the most extreme examples of an organization where the central administration seems almost uniformly less capable than those delivering the service (both principals and teachers). I think that is the basic reason why efforts to advocate for and improve SPS make slow progress at best. I am pretty sure that the "Blank Stare of Bureaucracy" is in fact a "Blank Stare of Incompetence".
Posted Thu, Mar 6, 7:41 a.m.
As noted above it does seem as if Ms.Lake's beef is with Advanced Learning and her desire to circumvent the department's application process.According to the Advanced Learning web pages,nearly 5000 families managed to submit on-time applications. 10% of the District submitted the required paperwork by the published deadline. What she suggests is the equivalent of line jumping -in my case make an exception. How many exceptions would then follow?
Deadlines exist everywhere and at times seem arbitrary and unfair particularly with regards to children. Any bets that charter schools have application deadlines? Do charter schools provide specific exceptions to policies and procedures? If that faceless bureaucracy with its annoying deadlines is a public school, its off with their heads!
Can and should the District be more user friendly -yes. Can and should Advanced Learning build in a little flexibility to their process -probably. But I find it amusing that in this case the District follows their own procedures and is criticized for it. What a world.
Posted Thu, Mar 6, 9:44 a.m.
I am pretty sure that the point of this piece is not that a specific service is not being rendered but rather that there is little capacity within the district to serve the child rather than simply administer programs.
It happens that in this case our child (yes Robin is my wife) is eligible for both advanced learning services and special education services. In the case of the advanced learning deadline it is a testing deadline and our child has already been tested as was stated in the original opinion piece. No special treatment was requested. For many kids on the Autism spectrum it is a challenge to find the right mix of flexibility and rigor to best meet their development needs. No one program is quite right. We have had the great fortune to have enjoyed the support of many dedicated and creative individuals in the Seattle School District. All of these individuals have made a difference in spite of the systems put in place by the district, not because of them.
But the idea that readers of Robin's opinion piece would be more sympathetic in the case of a learning disability strikes me as odd. First, it misses entirely the key point, which is that how institutions relate to individuals matters greatly. The fact that the services in question are advanced learning services is beside the point. Second, it makes the common mistake of assuming people with unique challenges require sympathy.
I know a lot of parents and kids out there with much more challenging circumstances than our own. My experience, in fact, is that most kids need some specialized attention at some point in their schooling. No sympathy required, just the willingness to try to address the needs of individual kids.
Posted Thu, Mar 6, 2:52 p.m.
@mkitchen If a signed parent form was submitted by the Fall deadline, then you and Robin certainly have a legitimate issue. It is important to understand that the signed form is a requirement of WAC 392-170-047. The District asks that it be signed and returned early in the school year. It is not a testing deadline. I agree that District customer service can be lacking and procedures need to be rational. But the process for determining eligibility for Advanced Learning programs is already a bit chaotic,and allowing families to apply any old time would be ten times more disorganized than it already is. Sometimes deadlines are necessary to provide some semblance of customer service.
Posted Thu, Mar 6, 3:34 p.m.
So she missed a required deadline and blames - yes, the school system. Hmm. Whose fault was that?
Like any big organization it is a tangled bureaucracy - just like most private huge organizations. Sounds like she just needs to a calendar/organizer.
Posted Fri, Mar 7, 10:02 a.m.
Mr. Kitchen, if you have to write in to explain your wife's piece, I think someone else missed the point,not the readers. (There are a lot of us out there with twice-gifted children.)
Posted Sat, Mar 8, 10:36 a.m.
Can we move this discussion off the personal (Ms Lake and Mr. Kitchen's twice exceptional child, the missed deadline, the absent cuppa, etc.) and even move it off the gratifying but ineffective bashing of District headquarters staff and put it where it would move things forward: what can we do to help Seattle Public Schools become more responsive to the needs of the community it serves? What can we do to improve the District's institutional culture?
A number of things have been tried, without success. We have elected activist board directors who campaigned on a platform of accountability, but they quickly become rubber-stamping lapdogs of the administration. Believe it or not, Harium Martin-Morris started out brilliantly. He had a blog on which he responded to citizens. He tried to get the District to fulfill some of their hundreds of un-fulfilled promises. He voted "no" sometimes. But within a couple years he scolded his board colleague for trying to verify a (false) claim made by a staff member. He told them that they had no business confirming the truth of staff statements and that they should simply accept everything the staff said as true - especially when they knew the statements were false. Other current board members are no better. Director Carr talks about a "culture of compliance" but takes no action against non-compliance. Directors Peaslee and McLaren no longer challenge the staff even when the staff thumbs their nose at policy.
If we can't make the change we need with school board elections then what can be done?
Attempts to starve the beast only result in accounting tricks (headquarters staff see their jobs re-classified as school-based in the ledgers, but not in reality) and cuts to schools. The District went from having 9% spent on administration to 6% spent on administration by laying off some janitors.
The greatest success I have seen to change the culture came when Dr. Enfield replaced a lot of staff, especially in operations, facilities, and finance. That's how you change a culture: replace personnel. She reformed the culture through firings in nearly every department, but she left her own department, Teaching and Learning, full of dysfunctional staff infected with the bad culture. And HR. The HR is a solid block of dysfunction comparable only to the VA. You could reform it for a decade without making progress. Unfortunately the culturally infected spread their disease to the new people and the dysfunction is now worse than ever.
I think the solution is out-sourcing. The District should only have staff that work on their core competency and mission: education. Every thing else - property management, accounting, HR, etc. - should be outsourced. The remaining staff could be housed in a much smaller space and the Board, who are overwhelmed with property maanagement issues instead of education issues (look at the history of their votes; 40% are about property management), can finally put their focus where it belongs. Also, the fewer people doing work for the District who are participants in the dysfunctional culture of public K-12 education the better.
The District already outsources transportation. They should outsource everything that isn't academics, then focus their reform efforts on academics
Posted Sun, Mar 9, 11:22 a.m.
I've often wondered if there's a better way to deliver public education in Washington, better than dividing the state into 295 separate and independent school districts, each one presided over by a small board of elected volunteers.
Hawaii has a single state-wide school system presided over by a board appointed by the governor, a legacy of territorial days and probably the monarchy before that. I wish we would take a look at that model. It can't possibly be any worse than what we're doing now, and it might be a whole lot better. It would at least destroy the incompetent local bureaucracies that coolpapa laments.
Posted Mon, Mar 10, 7:22 a.m.
The problem with this solution lies in the dysfunctional culture of the state education bureaucracy. It's the same or worse than the one we find in the Districts.
The OSPI refuses to fulfill its regulatory function. So does the State Board of Education.

The Fire of Bradbury's Enthusiasm,
By H. Grove (errantdreams) "Errant Dreams Reviews" (Maryland, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Zen in the Art of Writing (Mass Market Paperback)
"Zen in the Art of Writing" might not separate out into easy bullet-lists of suggestions the way many writing books do, but there are so many great ideas here. Word associations, letting things percolate through your mind, honestly editing your work... Bradbury couches everything in examples from his own life and work. He loads everything up with context. Perhaps most importantly, he lends his words a vibrancy, a poetry, a life that speaks far louder than any dry essay on writing ever could!
He talks of love and hate, and how emotions drive good writing. He speaks of work and relaxation, and how both are necessary at once. All of this in beautiful, easy-to-read language that you can easily cruise through in a day. It's hard not to come away from this book without a sense of this man: a whimsical, driven, fire-breathing soul of wit and humor and great understanding. I normally have little interest at all in meeting famous people, but I wish that I could meet Mr. Bradbury. Certainly his work has inspired many a dreamer, and all writers of the fantastic owe him and his work a great debt. I cannot recommend this writing book highly enough. If you're looking for dry suggestions to help you get published look elsewhere, but if you're looking for inspiration, this is the place to find it. The passion, energy, and enthusiasm that flow through the words are contagious. I cannot imagine a single author that could not be improved by reading this book.

Excellent book for real writers,
By KTB "KTB" (NYC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Zen in the Art of Writing (Mass Market Paperback)
Zen in the Art of Writing is my favorite kind of writing book. One that doesn't tell you how to write, but how to be a writer. Those are the best kind. A collection of essays from various sources and points in his career, Bradbury gives us many glimpses into the kind of writer he is, touching on such subjects as how to keep and feed a Muse, where ideas come from and what it takes to be a writer.
You won't find any discussions of plot, character, pacing, etc. here. Instead you'll find inspiration, ideas, passion and a little bit of who Ray Bradbury is. Just like a story. A few excerpts: You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you. If you are writing without zest, without gusto, without love, without fun, you are only half a writer. A good idea should worry us like a dog. We should not, in turn, worry it into the grave, smother it with intellect, pontificate it into snoozing, kill it with the death of a thousand analytical slices. At heart, all good stories are the one kind of story, the story written by an individual [writer] from [her] individual truth. And finally... WORK RELAX DON'T THINK! Zen and the Art of Writing remains an excellent book for any artist to read. It would be almost impossible to not catch Bradbury's enthusiasm, running down the pages as it does. Again, just as in good fiction.

Most Excellent,
This review is from: Zen in the Art of Writing (Mass Market Paperback)
I recently picked up a copy of Ray Bradbury's "Zen in the Art of Writing", partly out of curiousity, and partly out of an initiative to re-focus my writing.
I can not say enough good things about this book. It is cheap, and it is a quick read. I finished it over the course of one weekend - a weekend that has re-defined my writing like no weekend has in a long time. Whether you write songs, stories, or jot notes in your journal, this book will open up new possibilites. Even non-writers might benefit from some of the insights, particularly the one that discusses science fiction, problem solving and education. And it isn't even anything overtly "brilliant". Some of what the author presents is simply common sense stuff that we tend to miss in our busy lives. I identified many parallels in my own life that related to the experiences described in this book, and I'm sure you will too. I also enjoyed the complete lack of mamby-pamby, feel-good new agey attitude that is prevalent in some writing and creativity guides.

Zen and the Art of "Ahh, Now I Get it.",
By BJ (FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Zen in the Art of Writing (Mass Market Paperback)
I've just started this book and I have already, by direct inspiration of Mr. Bradbury's examples, taken my earliest childhood dream and created a sci-fi story. In his book he gives simple approaches to inspiration. I often enjoy recounting certain life experiences to friends, (and strangers), but not until I read this book did I realize I'm sitting on an endless source of raw material to mold into speculative fiction- from my own memories.
I felt a bit like a parasite writer when a critic who read my first sci-fi mentioned that my story was "Ray Bradbury-ish". I scrambled to try to change my style for fear that someone would think that I'm trying to copy his style. When I read that much of his inspiration comes directly from the writings of other authors and poets I was relieved. I actually began writing another story that is almost the same as one of his more popular stories from the Martian Chronicles. Yet, I can confidently state that my story is still completely different. I suddenly find myself with more story ideas than I can possibly write. This book is an absolute inspiration. Reading many of the technical "how to" books for writers has done nothing but make my brain smoke. There are stories all around me now- actually, they were always there. Suddenly I see. "Ahh. This is Zen."

Zen + Writing + Bradbury = Success,
By Jonathan A. Marshall (Adrian College, MI, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Zen in the Art of Writing (Mass Market Paperback)
Zen in the Art of Writing is a collection of essays by Ray Bradbury. Ray Bradbury wrote them throughout his life between the years 1961 and 1986 to tell aspiring authors how to become great writers by using his methods.
Ray Bradbury has every right to write such a book. His many books have granted him fame throughout the United States. His book Fahrenheit 451 about censorship had such an impact that it is part of the curriculum in many public schools. This book has good advice. He tells that "the first thing a writer should be is-excited." I could tell that he not only meant what he wrote, he followed it. It seems that each word was put on the paper in a splurge of excitement. That is the way he says all writers should write. He explains the process of writing with three phrases: "Work", "Relaxation", and "Don't Think." He says to write at least a thousand words a day. This starts a habit that makes writing comfortable. The quantity of writing gives experience, which gives quality. Relaxing and not thinking about the writing allows the stories to flow naturally. The "Don't Think" is so you won't be thinking about gaining money or fame. Bradbury succeeded in this book. He gave some excellent information for aspiring fiction writers to use, and inspired the reader to go and write a story of their own. This is a good book and is interesting enough to warrant a read even for non-writers.

Teachers ought to read this, IMHO...,
This review is from: Zen in the Art of Writing (Mass Market Paperback)
Although the whole book is excellent, the essay "On the Shoulders of Giants" is, for me, the most important part of Bradbury's message. Bradbury is not writing only about writing and the "creative process", he is also making a more personal argument against censorship and for the wisdom and understanding of children. In this time of debates over Harry Potter's place in the classroom and "zero-tolerance" policies that lead to children being suspended from school for pretending that a chicken nugget is a gun, it is so refreshing to read essays by a man who likes children, trusts children, and believes that children are capable of teaching adults a few things.
Bradbury, in the clever disguise of giving advice to beginning writers, also makes a powerful case for the legitimate literary value of science fiction, fantasy, and even cartoons and comic strips. My only small (very small) quibble with this is that he is more than likely preaching to the converted. Unfortunately, the message needs to be spread more widely.

Writing Scenes from a Memory,
By doomsayer (Adrian, MI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Zen in the Art of Writing (Mass Market Paperback)
Dipping into the subconscious to pull out memories, dreams, and ideas for writing is the main theme of Ray Bradbury's book, Zen in the Art of Writing: Releasing the creative genius within you. Zen in the Art of Writing has no clear progression or organization, but is instead a collection of essays Bradbury has written over the years. Each "chapter" is a short story in itself, full of ideas and advice. Some include overlapping ideas; some are as similar as a dream and reality. All give methods for developing the "creative genius." One helpful tool that has worked for Bradbury thus far - word association - may help your writing if you have a creative block. Bradbury compiles lists of nouns, usually beginning with "the" as in "The Veldt," "The Skeleton," and others to use for titles. He then implements his own memories and thoughts to fill in the actual story. The book is full of interesting stories, but the advice in each chapter could be a little more direct. Bradbury often seems to just write about his books, which doesn't help the reader much. His writing style does help make it an enjoyable read, however. The writer having trouble developing story ideas will benefit from Zen in the Art of Writing. Bradbury's own experiences, stories, and style make this book approachable for anyone, and may give you enough know-how and advice to break out on your creative own and start writing about their own scenes from a memory.

What You'd Expect From Bradbury . . .,
By Turnaround365 "http://turnaround365.blogspot.com" (CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Zen in the Art of Writing (Mass Market Paperback)
I'm calling this review What You'd Expect From Bradbury, and when I say You, I do mean You. It's typical Bradbury, which for me is heart-poundingly, jaw-droppingly, emotion producingly powerful. I think Bradbury's metaphor really communicates with me, tugs at my mind and heart. I find I'm not alone in this sentiment. However, I know it's also not universal. If you yawned your way through Dandelion Wine, then, alas, I fear this book is not for you. And if you are looking for a textbook on technique, with easy answers and sound-bite size "Tips," keep browsing, my friend, and good luck. But if you are looking for a book that can remind you WHY you took up writing to begin with, that can reawaken your passion for writing on those days when you feel like smashing in your word processor, that can express, as only Bradbury can, why are all so vain and foolish as to persue this ridiculous enterprise we call "writing," then grab this, buy it, snatch it up now, and put it where you'll find it when you need it.

A rare book that offers insights into the writing process.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Zen in the Art of Writing (Mass Market Paperback)
As a rule I find books that profess to "explain" the writing/creative process to be useless at best and numbing at worst. Bradbury, however, isn't interested in writing a "how-to" book. This is because he rightly considers the creative process to be impossible to neatly sum up or explain.
Still, this book doesn't mystify writing either. Bradbury reminds the reader/writer that the creative process is highly individual and that the best source that we have when we write is ourself: our memories, our experiences and our imagination, which allows us to take the stuff inside us and transform it into something fresh and new. His discussions of how he got the ideas for some of his stories (particularly fascinating to me because I had read all of them) are gems, offering insights that are fascinating in their own right and instructive to those examining their own methods of writing. As a playwright, this book was an inspiration to me when I first read it several years ago, and it continues to be to this day. This is possibly the only book on writing that I would recommend to anyone who is a writer who thinks he/she might want to be one.

Just go for it!,
By isala "Isabel and Lars" (London, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Zen in the Art of Writing (Mass Market Paperback)
Already the first page of this book contains revelations that other books lack. Bradbury does not offer any fancy techniques or anything like that, he just - as the title promises - tells us to go back to the basics. Write about what comes up, what you care about. Even if you do not agree with him the book will stir up emotions, and help you create.

Pontiac Grand Prix Engine fires 3800 series II 1996-2003
reek Posts: 1My wifes 1997 Grand prix caught on fire about year ago. The 3800 caught on fire right under the coil pack. My insurance fixed it but the dealer never said why it happened. The fire was put out rather quickly so it didn't do much damage($1200.)She was driving it right before it happened and it was running fine. She stopped and a few minutes later it was on fire.
Haven't had any problems with it since. -
tommy231 Posts: 27Hello Julie,
I forwarded your contact information to GM. I presume from your note that they didn't contact you. My hope was, and still is, to find a vehicle that was caught early enough for them to get a better idea what the cause is. As you can imagine, it is nearly impossible to positively root-cause a fire when the vehicle is a total loss. Since your vehicle is not available for inspection, I don't think there was much they could do with your contact information. So I guess that just means you are one of the 180 names they have on file with this issue.
NHTSA has closed their Preliminary Evaluation (PE07006) on GTP under-hood fires and has opened an Engineering Analysis (EA07008) on a wider range of GM vehicles. Non-supercharged engines are not part of the new effort either, as the investigation of those vehicles (EA02030) remains closed. Here is a link to the PDF that describes the new NHTSA initiative: http://tinyurl.com/yo8jnf
According to EA07008, they still don't know the cause. However, the response given to NHTSA from GM, http://tinyurl.com/3832xa, had all the content eradicated, presumably for confidentiality reasons, so it is difficult to know the whole story. The good news is that many of these so-called Preliminary Evaluations, like PE07006, never advance to the Engineering Analysis level, so we are one step closer to a root-cause and a possible recall. If the subject vehicles are ever recalled for this issue, I am not sure what your available legal actions might be as I am sure you'll need to consult an Attorney for that advice.
My personal investigation into this hasn't gone very far either. I posted one possible cause and my proposed fix for it. However, I doubt that this is the only cause, or the main cause, as some of the qualified vehicles I looked at were wired differently than mine and were therefore exempt from my concern. This weekend I plan to change my fuel injector o-rings as yet another precautionary measure. -
tommy231 Posts: 27I find it interesting to note that in GM's NHTSA response, http://tinyurl.com/3xr4j5, the posted document failed to exclude the name of one of their suppliers, Bend All Automotive, Inc.
According to Bend All's web site, http://www.bend-all.com/, their products include:
· Transmission Oil Cooler Hose & Tube Assemblies.
· Engine Oil Cooler Hose & Tube Assemblies.
· Heater Hose and Tube Assemblies.
· Air Conditioning Tubes.
· Cooling-Radiator-Fan Module Assembly.
Hmmm... I think I'll be taking a closer look at these components on my car.
Of course it is entirely speculation that any of Bend All's products are suspected as a root cause. -
tommy231 Posts: 27It seems that even the engine coolant should be suspected as an accelerant. The DEX-COOL MSDS says its autoignition temperature is 752 °F (400 °C), which is below the temperature of a hot exhaust manifold. It might be wise to make sure all the hoses and hose clamps on your GTP, or other L67 engine equipped-vehicle, are in good condition.

crispy2000gtp Posts: 7I bought an ENGINE FIRE 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP 2dr from a salvage auction on 4/30/2007. It only has 77,284 ACTUAL miles. Appears to be a all-stock, well cared for, garage kept "cream puff" car. The engine fire was put out with a fire extinguisher pretty early. I emailed "tommy231" an engine pic. The only damage noticeable from the outside of the car is a palm sized paint discolor cirle on the outside of the hood. The battery still had a full charge and the interior lights went on when you opened the door (I've since disconnected the battery). I think this would be a perfect canidate for GM and/or NHTSA to examine! :sick: ">

Any other reports of this? Should it be included?

azcatmike Posts: 2My Grand Prix caught fire on 10/12/07 after approximately 10 minutes after parking my car in the driveway somebody knocked on my door telling me my car was on fire. I was able to put it out spraying water through the vents in the hood but by the time I was able to open the hood the fire had burned everything inside. The insurance adjuster came out to the mechanics garage and said it was totaled. Does GM & NHTSA still taking reports on this issue?
kopi32 Posts: 4My grand prix caught on fire this morning (10/29/07) after i parked it in the parking garage at my work. About 10 minutes after I went into the office, someone notified me it was in flames. Came back to the car and sure enough the whole engine compartment was in flames. How do i go about reporting this to GM & NHTSA? Do you know if there will be any reprecussions owed to me on behalf of GM? It seems like this is a somewhat consistent problem.

tommy231 Posts: 27I'd like to see some of the pictures, if you don't mind. I still hope to find vehicles that can be easily root-caused, as many are burned beyond what can be diagnosed. Cars that are burned badly are not helpful to them. I still hold on to hope that a solution will be found so I can prepare my own car before I become a victim myself. Please feel free to email me directly if you'd like.
tommy231 Posts: 27Last I checked, GM is still interested in looking at vehicles with minimal damage. You should be sure to report the incident both to NHTSA and GM. If it only has minor damage I can send your info to the GM contacts I've been talking to, as they might want to look at it. Otherwise, NHTSA and GM customer service are your best routes, in my personal opinion.

jonny97 Posts: 1I recently had my 97 Grand Prix catch fire after the engine had been shut off for 15 to 20 minutes. With some help I was able to pop the hood and extinguish the fire with a couple of small fire extinguishers. There was very minimal damage to the car. Just wires and any thing that is plastic is melted or deformed. This was a well maintain vehicle and the engine was completely stock.
barbijo Posts: 1A friend of mine has (Had!) a Pontiac Grand Prix, 1999. I am not sure what the engine was, but a couple weeks ago she arrived at work and about 10 minutes later someone told her the car was on fire. I guess that got it out fairly quickly. I can ask her for pictures. I think it might be minimal damage. In the meantime, her insurance company and the fire investigator is giving her a really hard time. Any numbers or contact info as to where she can report this would be appreciated.

apocolipse Posts: 2Hey tommy23,
Yesterday my 2001 Grand Prix GT went up in flames at an intersection. I had just filled the car up at the gas station (had the car off for about 10 mins i suppose), pulled out, idled at the red light, began to move at the green and BAM! went up in flames, lost all power steering and brakes, and was just able to pull into a parking lot beside the intersection. The car was running perfect before I pulled in to get gas... I don't understand! Now the car is at a compound and I need to give the insurance a call on monday. What do I do about this? I've never had this happen nor have any of my friends / family! -
bedens Posts: 23I am responding to this post. I had a 2001 Grand Prix GT. In March, 2006 mine went up in flames. I had driven it approximately 30 miles, switched it off and 15 minutes later it was in flames. I called my insurance company and I also called GM. GM sent someone to check it out and supposedlly they can't determine the cause of the fire. I have never gotten any kind of reimbursement from GM.
j195 Posts: 1Hello,
I just did a simple Google search and found this post / forum. My car started on fire 11/16/2007. I was standing at the light waiting when all of a sudden, I heard a loud bang, car started rattling, like on the cylinders died, then white smoke, then black smoke, after witch I saw fire. Fire department put showed up, but half of the car is burned, and what was not burned was flooded with water.
This really sucks. -

Most forms of dance music are built on a basic principle: build and release. DJs ratchet up tension until they transition into another song or a "drop." The latter is particularly characteristic of dubstep and electro, the branches of EDM currently dominating the mainstream and most prevalent at Ultra this year (and roughly what Tommy Trash plays). Drops occur when a song builds and builds and then evolves, quickly, into a harder, bass-heavy section. Jon stands beside me saying things like "Wait 'til this drops hard." The common DJ move is a sort of hammer-like mid-air pounding, with DJs bringing their arm down especially hard after the drop. Some then throw both arms out wide in celebration, eliciting cheers. The pre-drop outstretched arm can start to look like a preacher's hand signal. I notice there aren't any female DJs. Like, at all.
During Tommy Trash's set, I meet Arlen, a sound engineer for Skrillex and Bassnectar. Arlen has been a part of this scene for 14 years, promoting shows and working as an engineer for a variety of artists. He's seen it balloon, particularly in the last two years. I ask him about what sort of changes he's seen in the crowd. He says that "bros" are a new addition to the scene, and seem to be primarily drawn by the dubstep trend. The fact that EDM has been brought out into the mainstream, out from clubs and into parks, has also made it accessible to a younger crowd. He says some within the scene grumble about the recent crossover, but he doesn't seem to mind: The kids genuinely like the music, and that's cool.
Most importantly, Arlen alludes to the paradox of EDM that drew me here—the tension between the party and the more abstract, spiritual experience inherent to a dance show. As far back as the new psychedelia of the late '80s/early '90s rave scene, there are elements of both: the escapism of MDMA and a beat juxtaposed against the communal, the transcendental possibilities. It's an indistinct line. What parameters are used to judge whether something's escapist or transformative? Who judges?
As I talk to Arlen, two dancers join Trash onstage, standing out in front of the DJ booth and leading the crowd. (The presence of dancers becomes perpetual throughout the weekend and almost always seems superfluous. The crowd never needs help getting riled.) They look like women out of some cyber-punk artifact: miniscule black faux-leather bikinis, gaudy sunglasses, occasional edgy strap accessories, giant fake hair like a plastic blonde ridge. Also, glittery body oil.
After his set, I join Tommy Trash in his trailer and ask him about the moment that converted him from playing in Smashing Pumpkins-inspired rock bands to being an electro artist. His answer is one word: "Ecstasy." The faintest bit of nostalgia colors his smirk.
Later that night, after Tiësto's set, I'm trying to find Skrillex backstage amongst the artist trailers. I meet Adam Sellers, a long-time devotee of the EDM scene, PR guy for Above & Beyond and Twelfth Planet, and personal friend of Skrillex. I get the sense that Adam has spent many years of his life defending the legitimacy of this scene he loves so much. He calls it the happiest music in the world, stressing the communal quality of it. He feels no animosity toward the new contingent of mainstream fans. He claims the drug use is "grossly exaggerated," and doesn't think EDM is escapist at all. We end our conversation with him telling me about a festival where he saw a man tear off all his clothes and start running around the barricaded walkway in front of a stage. It took the police tasing the man three times to make him finally fall, at which point three cops jumped onto his collapsed, hairy form.
Thanks to my production pass, I'm able to interview Steve Aoki as we drive around the backstage grounds on one of the artist-transport carts. He talks about how the scene's taking off.
"2012 is a really exciting time in dance music," Aoki says. "We're like a four-year-old child. And everybody's excited to see our cute little faces and fucking play with our hair and shit. In Europe, it's decades of electronic music being popular. You play festivals there and there's fucking moms pushing strollers with their kids."
Aoki does seem to harbor some ambivalence about EDM's growth.
"The dance scene obviously has gained attention because, well, you're here," he says. "We're gaining people's attention. But we're always going to be an underground music media form because we're based on the music rather than the vocals. For radio, for pop music, it's about the voice. We're building ourselves around the music. It's an experiential form of music. You have to experience it to understand it. I saw Daft Punk for the first time and it was fucking life-changing even though I was already a dance guy. I was once again reinvented. It gave me something that nothing else in life could give me and it was all samples and music."
There are a few ways you can lose yourself at Ultra. Festivals have that quality—the temporary mixed with recurrence. Not one but several massive stages with incredibly expensive and intricate light systems. They're great at creating a world where you forget that outside world exists. Like really forget, like every now and then you need to look up at a building to be reminded "Oh, yeah, I'm in Miami, bitch." (As hundreds of shirts proclaim over the weekend). Then, after it's over, it all starts to feel sort of dream-like, as if three days spent so intensely amongst a few people in such a specialized realm could only have been some collective hallucination.

You must have really enjoyed the orange juice :]
EDIT: Front page!?!!? *Dies*
EDIT: Fifth place game; Month of July 2008.
I'd like to thank everybody that made this possible,
i never knew the game would be that popular :D
Glad you liked it, PM me if you have suggestions, or critiques.
Thanks a bunch :]
WARNING: This movie contains strobing colors, high pitched tones, and an angry computer;
By playing this flash game you agree as viewer that I, the author, am not at all
responsible for any injury that may happen to you. Thank you.
I'll never be the same after making this flash.
Every single letter made in this had to be done frame by frame,
the most tedious, back breaking progress that i'll probably never do again.
This isn't your normal test,
it helps you discover yourself, and compare yourself to others.
And yes, it's a quiz.
You get scored on every click you make, so,
pay attention.
Enjoy ;]
1. Select [cancel load]
2. Select each answer that is furthest to the left for every question.
3. When you get to the numbered task, select 36 in the top left corner.
4. Keep selecting answers furthest to the left.
6. Again, continue pressing answers that are furthest to the left.
Done now? When you get to your final score, it should be 51.
If it's something else, you did it wrong.
You basically just ripped off the portal survey from www.aperturescience.com. It's mostly the same (actually yours is shorter and less clever) but you changed the name and replaced Cake with Bagels. Real fucking original.
When i got the idea of this i didn't even know of www.aperturescience.com,
somebody actually told me about it through one of these reviews.
Trust me, i hate people who copy,
but may i ask you a question...?
Is there a reason behind the fact that you
just made your account today, and
this review is the only contribution to the site you've made so far.?
i took it twice and with the same answers (my answers not your who should prove it not to be random) and i got 49 and 2
the psychological preasure in the quiz is actually high but the questions are dumb and random. By the way there is only 1 task to complete besides the random questions which matters incredibly little to anyones intelligence or mental state. and this one task requires memory beyond believeable to acomplish... personally i took the lowest number i could remember and the highest number and took the number closest to the average of those. and thats about as much as you can do.
you made a great tension in the quiz but the questions were stupid.
Are you kidding me? Top 5? Come on...
How did this get onto the Daily Top 5? There were no graphics, no storyline or plot ... just a quiz with some humorous answers. It amazes me what you people will rank up there.
Did you play much of the game?
Games don't need graphics,
games don't need plots,
games don't need anything.
You can bend the rules if you know them well enough,
and that's what i've done with this game.
That's why i got a good prize for this,
people saw beyond the fact that
there wasn't amazing graphics.
I'm sorry you were expecting a little more ;[
Maybe after i get my graphics tablet you'll
like some of my future movies.
Even if you didn't like it, though,
thanks for reviewing :]
it sure is random number generator around here
seriously this is tthe worst i've seen.

Calling all sluts! Need to register to vote? Look no further. You can Rock The Slut Vote right here.
This is a movement which was created to "fight the GOP effort to bully, subjugate and silence women," and "wrest the power from the word slut and help women get informed, get involved, get registered and vote".
The word slut was used publicly by Rush Limbaugh earlier this year to describe Sandra Fluke, who testified on behalf of women's right to contraception at a Congressional hearing. After that he lost many of his advertisers, and inspired a movement to reclaim the word.
This brings us to Rock The Slut Vote. Let me tell you everything you can do on this website.
1. Register to vote, obviously.
2. Send a letter expressing your thanks, or a proverbial ass whooping to your Senator or Representative
3. Look up the website and phone number for your state's Secretary of State office, where you can get information about elections and find out where to vote.
4. Get directed to ELECTIONLAND, a website that informs you all about "everything related to elections in your state," and also gives you "access to experts and election officials. In some states you can even ask candidates questions directly". That's completely awesome.
5. Find out if you are a slut or not with their extensive poll. You might be one if you have lived with a boyfriend, gone to Planned Parenthood, or downloaded Dixie Chicks music.
6. Buy awesome stuff, like bumper stickers and T-shirts, with phrases such as "Rush Limbaugh Thinks I'm a Slut!" and "Make Love, Not War on Women".
7. Add your location to the map to show the world that women are standing together.
8. Get a free dog tag.
BUST readers, what do YOU think of the re-appropriation of this word?
