Falling Through the Cracks: How Private Schools are Solving the Education Dilemma

Today’s children have everything
it takes inside each and every one
of them to become tomorrow’s
leaders. In spite of that, more and
more children are falling through
the cracks. They are in the
trenches and running out of adults
to uphold the very standards vital
to their success.

With soaring crime, drug, and
illiteracy rates, the last thing a
child can think about is learning
how to prepare for college and life
beyond college.

Day-to-day survival entails making it from
8am to 3pm without getting
bullied, sexually harassed, drugpushed,
or ignored.

This white paper will examine the
current state of education in
America and will touch on what
private schools are doing to
shoulder the responsibility of
fostering tomorrow’s leaders. The
intention of this report is to help
parents and educators differentiate
between private and public
education in order to make an
informed choice.

The Historian Review

The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova

My review

rating: 3 of 5 stars
Just finished reading this book. Very methodically written, fictionalized story about a suspenseful journey to discover Vlad the Impaler's final resting place.


I enjoyed the book, but my copy was 909 pages long. I felt I wasn't truly compelled to read it until I was around page 675. There was just enough suspense to keep me engaged up to that point, but I flew threw it from there until the end because the action started to really pick up.


That said, if you enjoy traditional vampire stories, you will like this one.

Ovarian Cysts No More

Ovarian cysts can be a recurring, and sometimes painful, problem for many women. I've suffered from them myself for several years and am working with a nutritionist to handle the causes.

Why DODTracker.com is where it's at.

D.O.D. Tracker (aka, Deal of the Day Tracker), has got to be the best all-in-one site out there for good deals. Now, a year ago I would have said that I was no expert in finding deals, my husband can attest to that, but he is. He has taught me well.

In the past few months, thanks to my DODtracker-addicted husband, I have become the proud owner of an Oakley Jury watch, a Sessions Snowboard jacket, a pair of Excel wetsuit booties for surfing, a year's subscription to Yoga Journal for $10 off the yearly fee, and some super cute shoes for our toddler from MamaBargains, one of the sites linked to DODTracker.

Now, those are just the deals I've received benefit from. My husband has bought snowboard helmets, wetsuit booties, guitar strings, and several other items for friends as well.

DODTracker.com has links to sites that sell anything from T.V.'s and electronic items on SecondAct.com, to T-Shirts on Shirt.Woot!, and other clothing (can you say sexy lingerie girls?), to toys for the kiddies. Even Amazon, REI, and Sears are listed.

DODtracker.com works like this:

1. Go to their website.
2. Scroll down through each of the listings until you see something you like.
3. Click on the link to that website, and steal, uh-hm, I mean buy your item.

You will see that the sole purpose of DOD is to gather all the deals from various internet sites and list them all on one page. How convenient!

Now, buyer beware: You will soon find yourself addicted to this website, especially once your deals begin arriving in the mail. It's like your birthday and Christmas every day. Your friends may begin to call you a DOD-Junkie (the modern day equivalent to those old ladies we used to make fun of who watched QVC all the time).

It's all worth it when you can watch your friends drool when you say you got a $550.00 Oakley Jury watch for only $99. And, if you are a die hard QVC shopper, guess what? QVC is one of the links on DOD! It really is a win-win scenario for all.
