2009 Final Attendance figures
QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ Sep 28, 2009 -> 11:21 PM) I agree and disagree. As one of the 10%, I still would buy game day tickets. I can't and won't buy season tickets or a package, but I would still buy tickets to a couple of games a year if I can. Also, I believe unemployment rates have leveled off and actually went down in Illinois last month. In fact, I know of many people that have gotten jobs in the last month and all of a sudden I have two, possibly three interviews this week. Good luck!

Teaching Abroad
QUOTE (Stocking @ Sep 29, 2009 -> 01:40 AM) Man I would love to try out Brazil. South Korea, while it does pay fairly well and is fully set-up, doesnt intrigue me so much. Who knows tho, Im trying to jet the Isles by January so really got to get the ball rolling. What grade level are you looking into teaching? Do you have any schools in mind yet? I have a friend's friend family who runs a school out there if you want a lead. Yeah, I interviewed with a school today that I'm very optimistic I'll get. I'd be working with mostly adults, the school has a good reputation with businesses in the area so they are sending their employees there to learn english. I hope it works out, it seems like a great fit. I appreciate the lead, though, I'll let you know if it arrives. Places like Brazil, Argentina, have a lot of demand for learning English, so even in times where classes aren't heavy, you can find plenty of students for private lessons once you get networking.

Teaching Abroad
QUOTE (Stocking @ Sep 28, 2009 -> 08:45 PM) Thats how I feel. I have my BA in Secondary Ed, the cert seems like a complete waste. However I cannnot find a placement company that places in Japan without a TEFL cert or being an Alum of their program. Go to South Korea, my man. Or meet me in Brazil if you don't mind just making enough to live.

Teaching Abroad
QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Sep 28, 2009 -> 06:26 PM) Wouldn't you need to know Korean pretty well?....and if you're teaching advanced levels of English, in English only classrooms, wouldn't you need to know English pretty well?..... I mean advanced grammar, not just basic conversation. A lot of these Korean programs are looking for complete immersion in the classroom. They train for like 2 weeks, and then you are teaching their structure and materials. No Tefl necessary, and to be frank, a lot of the "programs" that have you pay like $2000 for certification and then "guaranteed" placement are scams.

Teaching Abroad
If you are looking for money, go to south korea. I'm in Brazil right now doing what you are doing. You come in Late July/December, hundreds of schools that teach english and don't give an eff about teaching certifications. The problem, i guess, there is less certainty, more illegality, but more brazilian women.

Official 2009-2010 NFL Thread
QUOTE (SoxFan101 @ Sep 28, 2009 -> 10:01 AM) These last 2 Bears games have been plenty ugly but Ill take a win anyway you can get it, honestly all 3 games the Bears have played pretty poorly imo and been in position to win them all which I guess says something. Ill also add I think our defense played better when Hillenmeyer was taking out because of injury, I know he is smart but he is a liability on the field. I'll take looking like s*** and pulling out wins as opposed to last year where we were looking great and then losing in the last moments for the first 5 games.

I hope the IOC choses RIO and not Chicago.....All the mayors courupt buddies are waiting for a piece of the pie$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$" I too hope it goes to Rio, where there is no corruption and everyone will be safe.

Zambrano: Sox One of Three Teams He Would Go To
QUOTE (lostfan @ Sep 28, 2009 -> 03:46 AM) Yeah this is obviously BS as has been noted a few times already, because this "deal" straight up would be one of the worst of all-time. Legit boycott material. I mean, still though. Besides the fact that he is dumb as hell. If just a fan on a message board did this you'd be like, lol. But Rogers stuff gets read by both teams, so surely he knows sox fans will read this, and Rogers in his past has been quite pro-sox (The sh** he'd take for going with magglio in the All-City team)... I guess what I'm getting at, is he might be so stupid, that he actually thinks this is a good deal for the sox. Wow, huh?

It was only a matter of time
things we've learned since then: Fed is confirmed to be on his chest. Sources say it was not a suicide. Rumblings that there was duct tape around his neck. Great timing. I have already intimated that this killer will have acted on his own accord. But, my point is, a US congresswoman and a TV host with a 2.5 mill audience are making completely inciteful and insanely inaccurate and untrue comments, and we're being told by you to just laugh them off. Is it AS possible that this was a dumbass meth dealer not understanding that by sending a message to the feds to stay out they would be getting the opposite? Of course. Is it possible the murderer was just bats*** insane? That is not just a possibility, that is an absolute truth. and finally: That's right, none of those other forms encourage violence, but some sort of round about way of saying that the government might come after you, in the context of something that the majority of the country doesn't even realize actually happened... Yes THAT will be actually something that causes violence. I'm just going to take from this, since because kap is allowed to run free and act like this, we all are, that you are implying that michelle bachmann is right. That this is a prescient analogy, because during an actual WORLD WAR 70 years ago, we used census data to round up a population that emigrated from an enemy country, it is analogous to a 2010 census...that will be used to map out congressional seats and see what the different populations are in the country. Census' have been done for thousands of years. What a hoax. What a travesty that you are stuck defending this scum. and you wonder why we continually make fun of you for false equivalencies.
