on sabbatical

Dear readers,

I have not posted in quite some time, and I don't know when I'll be able to post again. My busy life has only become busier, and so I feel it's only right that I go on a short sabbatical. Please do check out some of my favorite teacher blogs, though:

firstyearteacher.blogspot.com
posthipchick.blogspot.com
mildlymelancholy.blogspot.com

I'm sure these lovely ladies will keep you entertained.

Until next time, readers...

    Here's hoping you blog again this fall. I really enjoyed your comments, and I wish I'd been reading it during the year, while _I_ was a first year. (I had only one prep--at least in theory--and a classroom all my own, and I STILL found organization impossible. I admire you so much for getting through the year!)

    But it would be fun to read what you have to say in Year Two, while I'm struggling alongside you...

    Anyway, thanks for the wisdom, and here's hoping your fall is a good one, and all your classes are saintly.

    Watch this One to Trade!

    Because, EGTY has secured the global rights to market
    genetically enhanced fast growing, hard-wood trees!

    EGTY trading volume is beginning to surge with landslide Announcement.
    The value of this Stock appears poised for growth! This one will not
    remain on the ground floor for long.

    Keep Reading!!!!

    ===============
    "BREAKING NEWS"
    ===============

    -Energy and Asset Technology, Inc. (EGTY) owns a global license to market
    the genetically enhanced Global Cedar growth trees, with plans to
    REVOLUTIONIZE the forest-timber industry.

    These newly enhanced Global Cedar trees require only 9-12 years of growth before they can
    be harvested for lumber, whereas worldwide growth time for lumber is 30-50 years.

    Other than growing at an astonishing rate, the Global Cedar has a number of other benefits.
    Its natural elements make it resistant to termites, and the lack of oils and sap found in the wood
    make it resistant to forest fire, ensuring higher returns on investments.

    the wood is very lightweight and strong, lighter than Poplar and over twice
    as strong as Balsa, which makes it great for construction. It also has
    the unique ability to regrow itself from the stump, minimizing the land and
    time to replant and develop new root systems.

    Based on current resources and agreements, EGTY projects revenues of $140 Million
    with an approximate profit margin of 40% for each 9-year cycle. With anticipated
    growth, EGTY is expected to challenge Deltic Timber Corp. during its initial 9-year cycle.

    Deltic Timber Corp. currently trades at over $38.00 a share with about $153 Million in revenues.
    As the reputation and demand for the Global Cedar tree continues to grow around the world
    EGTY believes additional multi-million dollar agreements will be forthcoming. The Global Cedar nursery has produced
    about 100,000 infant plants and is developing a production growth target of 250,000 infant plants per month.

    Energy and Asset Technology is currently in negotiations with land and business owners in New Zealand,
    Greece and Malaysia regarding the purchase of their popular and profitable fast growing infant tree plants.
    Inquiries from the governments of Brazil and Ecuador are also being evaluated.

    Conclusion:

    The examples above show the Awesome, Earning Potential of little
    known Companies That Explode onto Investor�s Radar Screens.
    This stock will not be a Secret for long. Then You May Feel the Desire to Act Right
    Now! And Please Watch This One Trade!!


    GO EGTY!

    Hi Teacher Lady,

    If you do or don't start your blog again will you help with some preliminary research on blogs that contain
    strong reference to work or employment.

    I've set up a quick questionnaire on work-related blogs and would
    appreciate it very much if you would spend a few minutes filling one
    in for me.

    You can access the questionnaire at:

    http://www.my3q.com/home2/62/apr2112/24991.phtml

    In the meantime, you can find out more about my research and
    myself by visiting my blog. The details are situated on the right-
    hand side just below my profile.

    Thanks for your time and feel free to contact me about anything
    related to my request or work-related blogs.

    Stock Alert - FPPL On The Rise!

    Make no mistake: Our mission at Tip Top Equities is to sift through the thousands of underperforming companies out there to find the golden needle in the haystack. A stock worthy of your investment. A stock with the potential for big returns. More often than not, the stocks we profile show a significant increase in stock price, sometimes in days, not months or years. We have come across what we feel is one of those rare deals that the public has not heard about yet. Read on to find out more.

    Nano Superlattice Technology Inc. (OTCBB Symbol: NSLT) is a nanotechnology company engaged in the coating of tools and components with nano structured PVD coatings for high-tech industries.

    Nano utilizes Arc Bond Sputtering and Superlattice technology to apply multi-layers of super-hard elemental coatings on an array of precision products to achieve a variety of physical properties. The application of the coating on industrial products is designed to change their physical properties, improving a product's durability, resistance, chemical and physical characteristics as well as performance. Nano's super-hard alloy coating materials were especially developed for printed circuit board drills in response to special market requirements

    The cutting of circuit boards causes severe wear on the cutting edge of drills and routers. With the increased miniaturization of personal electronics devices the dimensions of holes and cut aways are currently less than 0.2 mm. Nano coats tools with an ultra thin coating (only a few nanometers in thickness) of nitrides which can have a hardness of up to half that of diamond. This has proven to increase tool life by almost ten times. Nano plans to continue research and development into these techniques due to the vast application range for this type of nanotechnology

    We believe that Nano is a company on the move. With today�s steady move towards miniaturization we feel that Nano is a company with the right product at the right time. It is our opinion that an investment in Nano will produce great returns for our readers.

    hey, i just found your blog by googling the phrase 'raise your hand,' looking for ideas as i rethink my classroom management plan for next year. i'm a teacher, too.

    you might like my blog:

    i named it that because i wanted to write about how brilliant and creative my inner city students are, but in the end, i pretty much just bitched about parents and my god-awful principal.

    anyway i hope you come back to blogging.

    Good day, sun shines!
