Amen to that-the last ghetto trash of any ethnicity I’ve known were clients when I was a case manager-and I left that line of work about 14 years ago to work in construction-they were few and far between, but that might be because I’ve never worked in a Detroit or Chicago type city...
Thanks, Robt-that is fascinating info-correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t the Maunder Minimum occur during the Little Ice Age? I don’t like the thought of that-an ice age winter isn’t something I want to live in-even in Texas...
Yes. Some of my cousins got a lot done and saved serious money doing so. Wish the program had been around when I was in high school. Then again I would have done anything as an alternative to high school.
Have you seen the Reverand Manning’s video on this subject?
That's what remedial classes are for. Just think the taxpayers waste at least $130,000 getting a kid through LK to 12 and then they need remedial classes at the college.
OMG. I'm going to need to watch it tonight.
No, I haven’t.
But I do realize that I am reacting the way the race-baiters are trying to get me to. So, I need to stop that. It’s both terrifying and infuriating to see what is going on.
Dual enrollment. Nothing new.
No, I didn’t-who is Reverend Manning?
Rev Manning is the leader of a black church who is actually a man of God first, and black second. he has consistently spoken out against obam and the “church” he used to worship in. His latest sermon was about how folks were putting being black BEFORE being a Christian or they would see the truth about the zimmerman trial. he challenged them to consider going to the projects to help a sick parishioner - they get into an elevator and the only other person is a black kid wearing a hoodie. You are all alone, in the projects, with this kid - what do you think? Are you a little bit scared? Do you begin to worry? He says you KNOW you are thinking this kid has his face covered for a reason - and since so many rapes, robberies, attacks are made by young black men in hoodies of course you are right to be a bit scared..... he then goes on to talk about him being high and that is why he went for skittles - because he had the munchies. He says, what else does pot make you feel? Paranoid! It is a great sermon -
It sounds like it-I wish there were many more ministers of every denomination and ethnic group willing to come forward and tell the truth about crime.
Yes. Some of my cousins got a lot done and saved serious money doing so. Wish the program had been around when I was in high school. Then again I would have done anything as an alternative to high school.
Jean (now 27) started taking honors Spanish, math and English in middle school. With those, she got some limited HS credits when she began at East Paulding HS while St Ronnie was teaching AP Chemistry, physics, chemistry etc. So, Jean immediately loaded up with sophomore and junior HS classes and as many AP classes as she could find time for.
Then Jean, being the lovely and astute girl that she is - but hating to work any harder than she absolutely has to AND really, really hating to wake up early in the morning - found out about dual enrollment between the local HS and Southern Tech University. She wasted no time getting into the college - figuring that
(a) she could get the same credit HS credit for the same price as she could take college classes
(b) she could take one college class (in English for example) two days a week for 1-1/2 hours as she could take 5 days of HS classes
(c) she could sleep in until 10:30 while taking that same college class two days a week
(d) she could tell us that she “needed” an immediate drivers license and car so she could drive to class at college (and do after school work and after-school meetings, and go to the library, and go to her job, and still get to the HS plays (she was stage manager at the time) instead of taking the school bus five days a week
(e) she could actually take and easily get credit for college classes by taking college classes instead of “maybe” getting AP credit after taking 5 days a week of AP chemistry physics, physics II, chemistry II, biology, English, etc AND all those all-day AP credit classes
... So she quit HS after two years and went to college at at 16
graduated from college at 18 with a BS in Physics and a BS in Mathematics
was the youngest ever Southern Tech graduate at 18

It was. But things aren't quite so “pretty” and convenient when you look at all of the interfaces and temperatures.
The Little Ice Age can only be identified by proxies and assumptions based on what people wrote down and what they did: died in Greenland from starvation - but how long did they “almost” survive while starving their sheep and cattle? Growing grapes in mid England is obvious from the tax records earlier during the Medieval Warming Period - and not during the Little Ice Age is clear evidence, but when did one stop and the other began?
The Medieval Warming Period was (broadly speaking) peaking 1150 through 1300, but that's a broad peak with high and low years (Whether weather happens whenever, at last you all die!) showing up now and then. The LIA was at its worst around 1600 - 1700 (1650 is a working average), but it certainly wasn't just limited to those years. Some writers claim we did not get out of the LIA until 1850 for example.
And there's the whole separate conflict about whether or not sunspots are a good proxy for earth's climate at all.
Regardless, as you point out, right in the middle of the Maunder Minimum - when we KNOW flat out that there were NO sunspots at all for many dozen year - the average weather over the entire planet was very, very cold compared to the hundreds of years right before and right after the Maunder Minimum.
Sobering thoughts for today's world.
Ebonics, it’s not just for witnesses anymore.
Sobering to the idiots who think man can control the climate, despite the evidence that most factors affecting it do not even originate on the planet, but beyond the atmosphere-good luck controlling that...
Brilliant and fiscally savvy way to do it. She saved you a fortune!
