why in the world would your kid need to know how to read when it was 1 year old. it’s not like it’s going to sit there and read a book. At one, they mostly just pull shit up off the floor, and try to grab their own genitals.
That article has more to do with baby sign language, which has already been a big ole fad in America. I must have two baby books with sign language in them. I bailed on it, because teaching my kid sign language wasn’t as easy as just getting him whatever he was screaming and pointing at.

I was out yesterday but saw that article about the USA ranking in global education. A friend of mine does some research on that. A major flaw in some of those reports is the other nations don’t include all students. For example, if a kid does poorly in school around the 4th-8th grades in some nations, that’s it. Those dumb kids aren’t in high school, etc – bringing down the overall #’s. No other nation sends as many kids to school through high school on a percentage basis as the USA, as I understand it.

December 13th, 2012 at 9:08 AM
If you live in a town with decent public transportation, google maps really helps as it’ll give you directions via bus/subway/el/etc, including time of next bus/train and transfers. This saves you from having to navigate internet sites with horrible or no mobile sites to search for the information.
December 13th, 2012 at 9:08 AM

well, claiborne has a concussion, ratliff is still out again (he hurt himself counting his money), they signed another corner off the street, this time a guy that played for the giants during that first game and might have been the worst player on the field.
They’re down 7 starters on defense, and have filled many of those holes with utterly unwanted veterans, or their own guys playing out of position.
The good news is that Pittsburgh has similar injury woes. The bad news is that Livings, who isnt’ that good, is out on the Oline, so it’s more of the Derrick Dockery experiment, this time at LT.
December 13th, 2012 at 9:10 AM

Between installing a madrasa in the West Wing, painting the White House black, funding and writing the script for Django Unchained, forcing e’rybody to get gay married by union workers, and personally going door-to-door to take away everybody’s guns, I don’t think the man has time to outlaw maps.

Before smart phones and map apps I accompanied my buddy as he drove back to Boston for school. This was mid-Aug of 2005. Since I couldn’t drive stick shift, I was the map guy. I took the job all kinds of serious and actually used the maps to navigate us when we got lost at Gettysburg.

If I’m going on a trip, I’m setting aside a bit of time to get directions from google, then compare those directions to an actual map (on google). I’ll fiddle around on google maps, find a bit different route that’ll save me an hour, then print that out and take it. The smartphone becomes a back up.

My dad was a real pain in the ass about maps. Between his business and that he drove a firetruck so he knew most of the enitre region by heart. When he’d give me directions he’d always be “turn north, then west” and never give you “turn left, then right”. It was a pain in the ass when you were 16 and got turned around, especially off freeway exits, etc. A few years ago he got turned around going to some golf course and was asking for help so I gave him the old “turn south” nonsense and he was pissed and demanded the left/right instructions. It was great to twist the knife there for a while.

wouldn’t it still be a kids book even if the kid was illiterate? It’s more about the person with ownership of the book.

No. Not just Tiger. Most of the players hate being lectured by an old drunken asshole. He is NOT well-liked.

the Gazeteers they have for each state are badass, and still necessary if you enjoy driving dirt/back roads where smart phone maps are about useless.

City Slickers II barely made its money back, the original made over a hundred million profit. The difference? No Bruno Kirby in the sequel.

Tom Watson as the 2014 Ryder Cup captain. NOTE: PLEASE look at some of the young guns who were left off this year

Nice rack on mom
mom boobs rule.

This looks Dana from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (not a main character, she makes appearances now and then).
She’s a little nutty and a lot rich.

The announcers fawn over him like he’s Arnold flippin’ Palmer. Any reason?
December 13th, 2012 at 9:50 AM
That’s fine golfercraig. I really dont care much about Watson. I was just saying how I am not sure how having Larry Nelson be the captain helps us win the Cup more than having Watson. It’s possible, nobody’s really made that point yet. I was saying to me, the Nelson ship sailed and this is admittedly a terrible crop of candidates.

Because he would go out and get shit-faced with them for years. He was a drunk. He was hard to be around.
December 13th, 2012 at 9:56 AM
Watson has 8 pro majors (Palmer 7), so he has a lot of cred. He’s just about 15-20 years older than you’d prefer a RC captain be. And apparently he’s pissed some people off. He did have a bit of a drinking problem, I don’t think that’s much of a secret. Golfercraig might have more to the story on that.
December 13th, 2012 at 9:56 AM
There’s a store in Charlotte called The Map Shop that I always drive by and I’ve wanted to go in but never manage to do so, they sell a shitload of huge maps and it’s one of the things that if I were loaded I would bleed money on.

How much stock are we putting in Ryder Cup captains translating to success?
I get that the matchups are a big deal.
But what else?
December 13th, 2012 at 9:57 AM
Fowler is done. No way he makes the team. His swing is more prone to degradation than anyone since 19 year old Sergio. He was better at 18 than he will be at 26.

I’m more phyched for Ryder Cub 2016 played at Hazeltine, which is just a 20 minute drive from my home. Saw the PGA there a few years ago when Tiger lost to YE Yang.

That’s just it – really hard to say. I’d say it’s worth a few points and Ryder Cups are often down to a few points. They are a fun topic to kick around though.

Back then explorers were just guys with the biggest nads, now it’s some cunt director in a sub or some midget math nerd in a rocket.

Ryder Cup in your area, that’s 1x in lifetime. Never be cheaper than seeing it someplace where you have to pay inflated lodging costs.

sergio figured out a way to make his swing consistent tho, but it helps he’s got such passive hands thru impact. fowler gets really nice lag, but he still times his swing more than sergio does. i mean, shit, look at how much that clubface has turned over.
December 13th, 2012 at 10:35 AM
Maybe he was trying to hit a fade/draw on that shot?
December 13th, 2012 at 10:43 AM
Going to be my 40th birthday splurge. I have to knock that one off the list.
December 13th, 2012 at 10:54 AM
i mean, that’s REALLY turned over. regardless of what he’s trying to do, that requires a ton of timing. hogan, moe norman, trevino…the clubface was square to the line a LOT longer with somewhat similar methods of powering the swing.
