Remodeling again…

Once again, I got bored with my room and decided to move things around. I remounted the screen so that everyone in the computer lab area can actually see it. Before about 20% of the students had to get up from their seats just to see. Now all of the students can see the screen and watch demonstrations.

Cloned Milk?

WASHINGTON - Milk from cloned cows is no longer welcome at the nation’s biggest milk company.

Although the government has approved meat and milk from cloned animals while it conducts further studies, Dean Foods Co. of Dallas said Thursday that its customers and consumers don’t want milk from cloned animals. The $10 billion company owns Land O’Lakes and Horizon Organic, among dozens of other brands.

Blogging from Baltimore

Well have been in Baltimore the past 2 days because I am helping my wife out with All State Senior Band. I have seen so many students that I had and some current students from CMS. 

I was very impressed by the music and the accomplishments of all the students I saw here. It is really a feat to make it to this level when you are considered to be the best of your pears and other members of the music community.

Low numbers for chess club

I guess the weather really messed up everyone’s schedule. We only had 14 chess players today. I’ll make an announcement to remind students that chess club is still going on!

75 pages and counting….

So I have been working on my masters paper the entire weekend and all of the days we had off last week, and it seems like I’m nearing the end. Of course there is the very meticulous task of searching for mistakes and making final edits.

Audibles Madden Style!

Right now I’m finalizing my audibles and picking out my bread and butter plays on offense. Because Brian Westbrook, and Correll Buckhalter are very different types of backs, I’m using plays that will utilize them based on their talents. So far I have a couple and am picking the last of them.

 

On the defensive end, I realized that if I model my defense after the actual Jimmy Johnson call playing (he’s the D coordinator of the Eagles ), I have far more better success at intimidating my opponent!
