13. Have fun with it! Kids love activities, doing cut and paste, and learning! |
14. Assign a student to be the "Station Checker" that makes sure everything it put where it belongs at the end of station time. |
15. Have a voice monitor for each group that makes sure the volume level is appropriate (my class needs that!). I don't need a task manager with this because all of the students stay on task. |
16. When a group finishes their station early, they clean up and silently increase the quality of their Student Recording Packets at their seats. |

Mallard's Infinite Playlist: Song of September... |
I am - for the most part - a proud ignoramus when it comes to sports. I never played sports (my youth was given over wholly to fishing, hunting, drinking beer and skipping school to repeat items 1,2 and 3), and I never grew up around anyone who did, so it's not that I've lost interest in sports, it's that I never cared... |
I've heard that my home state now has a professional basketball team, the Thunderclap something or other, but since watching basketball interests me about as much as watching platypuses screw, I know nothing of the team, other than most of us here in Oklahoma pay much more attention to our millionaire ballplayers than ... |
But there is one glaring exception to my disinterest. See, I grew up in Norman, Oklahoma. And when you grow up in Norman, Oklahoma, you are beaten daily as a child until you develop an interest in Sooner football (honest, it's in the city charter). So gradually, even if you're not naturally inclined to do so, your inte... |
Sounds brutal, I know, but at least in Oklahoma it's confined to Norman. I hear that in Nebraska - a state much like Oklahoma in its lack of excitement but with only one state university football program to distract its people from ingesting meth and/or watching crops grow - the required beating is a statewide mandate.... |
I mean, let's face it: it's Oklahoma we're talking about. It's not like we have a helluva lot we can point to in this state and say "see, look how good we are at this!" So for the past half-century or so we have placed our collective pride and our sense of shared self-worth in the on-field accomplishments of the Univer... |
And as much as I hate to admit it, as much as the snobbish too-good-for-sports, shun-the-herd iconoclast in me fervently wants it to be otherwise, when I hear this song I completely understand how emotionally invested someone can get in a hometown sports team. |
When I was a student at OU I used to live in a crummy little apartment on the south edge of campus, an area that during WWII had been part of a military base. It's mostly developed now, but back in the mid-90s it was an overgrown, largely forgotten jumble of crumbling old buildings and encroaching wildness. |
On Saturday mornings during dove season (and later deer bow)I would throw my shotgun in a dufflebag, hop on the bike, cross the highway south of campus and go hunt the south Canadian riverbottom. But even then, miles away from the stadium, I could still hear the roar of the crowd and the band playing the fight song, an... |
"OK," you ask, "if you're such a fan, what the hell were you doing dove hunting when you should have been there watching the game, supporting your school, your team and watching stalking admiring your future wife?" (who as a member of the Pride of Oklahoma's flag corps spent every fall Saturday marching on Owen Field t... |
To which I can only reply, it was dove season, man, and during hunting season being a fan has its limits... |
And just to give you an example of that, the Sooners are a consensus pre-season #1 and we're the odds-on favorite to win the national championship, but one of the toughest and most important games of the year is September 17th at sixth-ranked Florida State. Every Sooner fan has had that date circled all year. |
Where will I be? Hunting prairie chickens in Kansas. Like I said, being a fan has its limits. But you can bet your ass I'll have a radio... |
1. Now that my Huskers are no longer a part of the dysfunctional Big 12, I'm wholeheartedly backing the Sooners. |
And on September 17th, let's hope your boys aren't playing at the same time as mine... or we might wear out that radio dial. |
2. We're golden. The Huskers kick off at 2:30, the Sooners at either 7:30 or 8 pm. Both are on ABC or maybe the Sooners will be on ESPN. |
We gotta find a bar somewhere... |
3. Right. You can trust just about anyone to replace you at the stadium - yelling and beer consumption are simple enough for that - but who can you trust to do the gentle and responsible act of taking the animals? :) |
Reminds me: The former Governor of the region I live in was both a hunter and an avid fan of the local soccer team. The opening days and the team's home games were back then scheduled to avoid the conflict of interest :) |

If your condo allows you to rent at all then you CAN rent to a section 8 renter. They have all the rights and probably more of a normal tenant. Go to their home and check out the condition of their place, that’ll give you an idea of how your condo will look like when they are through with it. |

As landlord, I know, sometimes we delay certain repairs. Having Section 8 renters force you to keep your property in good conditions.

All you need to do is post in your ad that you accept Section 8 renters. Then when a tenant comes and says they have section 8, ask them for their papers which should have directions on how to deal with the local housing authority. |

It is true that they can go under a re certification where Section 8 will reevaluate their new income level and may change the payment to you accordingly, up to the full rent. However, the tenant must be proactive about this and request a hearing immediately with their case worker to make this adjustment. You can... |
