CVHS

As I’m sure some of you have heard, or read, Matt gave a site to Mom called greatschools.net or something like that and asked her to check out Camp Verde. I was curious to see what people had to say as well, and I’d have to say that this comment was my favorite one out of them all:

Run away fast, very, very fast. Administration is incompetent, guidance non-existent and instuction vague and imcomplete. Teachers don’t respond to telephone/e-mail requests. My child entered as an A student and left failing/behind grade level. There is no support system for kids with ADD or 504 plans. Just look at the web site! There are errors in spelling & grammar everywhere, assuming you can find links that work. Administration lied to me about state mandated accomodations concerning my child. Drug use is rampant in the school and with the kids in the area. Sports program is more important than anything else. No SAT prep offered (guidance didn’t even know when/where the test was being administered. CVHS is a den of iniquity staffed by incompetents hoping for parents too busy to notice that it borders on the criminal. Run away! Run away very, very fast.

Needless to say, this person gave the school one star out of a possible five. I’m still laughing about the “den of iniquity” line….

I want to see this!

So Ashlee and I were just chilling on the bed, watching trailers through iTunes hooked up to my awesome JBL speakers (Becky said it sounded like a movie theater over here). Anyway, we finished up watching the the trailers in the Family section. Ashlee took off, so I switched over to the Science Fiction section and I find the Star Trek trailer. Now this isn’t Start Trek XIV or anything, it’s just plain old STAR TREK. Woot! The trailer looks suuuh-weeet!

If you haven’t seen it yet, check it out at the iTunes store, apple.com, or at the movie’s website. It looks cool! And isn’t that Sylar(?) from Heroes who’s playing Spock? I haven’t been excited for something Star Trek in a long time. May eighth though, I want to go!

Ben Cahoon FTW

So I’m sure a lot of you remember a great BYU receiver by the name of Ben Cahoon. This guy has been tearing it up in the CFL, establishing himself as one of the greatest to ever play in that league. Well, at one point last season he had the opportunity to attempt the game winning field goal. He’s normally the holder for the kicker but the kicker got thrown out. Here’s the proof and the attempt.
