"One for the Money" is a single by American country music artist T.G. Sheppard. Released in 1987, it was the first single and title track from the album One for the Money. The song reached #2 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart.[1] It was Sheppard's last Top 10 hit.
One for the money two for the go. One four two four. 14 24. You get to go when its step four not step two. so you get there in half the time with this clue. Half of 14 and 24 are 7 and 12. Elway wore 7 and Gannon wore 12 when they played I'm the super bowl. Both are near crosby :wink:
Associated Press writing style dictates any number below 11 be typed out as a word, not a digit. "1 percent" is incorrect, and definitely odd. Did the web page version use the digit as well?
The problem with '1' is it could represent damn near any vertical object - street light post, fence post,a tree off by itself - you just don't know. Unless someone anagrams something out of this, it really becomes a NON-Clue, which is frustrating.
"One for the money, Two for the Go" is NOT an Elvis song - Blue Suede shoes was "Two for the SHOW" --- when Googled it shows up in a 1951 ad for Mercury Automobiles, and that's pretty much the only place...
Treasure hunt headquarters posted on Facebook that about it being a nice day for a walk in the park and then they posed the question as to which park, and said that is the question. I posted back and thanked them for the bonus clue I'm afraid that my sarcasm won't come through though.
I wouldn't put much stock in anybody at the paper knowing anything about Associated Press writing style. There was a day when newspaper editors made sure style was followed and errors were caught. Today, I don't think there are many of them who could edit their way out of a paper bag. I do think the 1 in this clue refers to the number one being visible from the hiding spot. Time will tell if that interpretation is correct.
Wow, I was the opposite. I went to private school my whole life and had it not been for my grade school merging my 8th grade year and them having to go backwards to catch a chunk of the class up (really stupid move as I look back on it now) I would have been in the AP, on the road to Calc senior year course. So I was ahead of the game in math by 9th grade.
I understand that private and parochial school is much more comprehensive than it was back in the 40's and 50's when I attended. All of my 27 nieces and nephews went through at least eight years of parochial, many of them all twelve, and got wonderful educations. I think bringing laity into the system made the difference from when I attended.
And it could be as simple as I'm really bad with numbers. Strong right-brained here. :smile:
 Any copy editor worth their mettle ought to have a writing style reference such as Strunk & White's "Elements of Style". I was the editor of a hockey newspaper and in that position was also the copy editor. Strunk & White's was my bible.
You'd think they could write a program that would catch such things. But then again if the content doesn't speak "professional", then why worry about whether or not the style does?
Oh, trust me, private education is still lagging behind because they don't get the best teachers or training. This fact breaks Pilotshatguy's heart, but it is true.
I really believe that parochial schools are better now then when I attended in the 50s and early 60s. We had some lay teachers, but most were nuns.
Many of the nuns were good teachers. The 7th grade one was a total nut case. Her room was right across from the principal's office so the principal could keep an ear open and interrupt the class if things got out of hand. That principal was in our classroom at least once a day. That nun would have been charged with cruel and unusual punishment in today's world. The year following a girl had a total nervous breakdown that was traced back to that nun. I totally get that. You would be shocked at some of the things that went on in that classroom.
There weren't enough nuns to teach and so they hung to ones that should have been retired.
There is this perception that parochial and private schools are better. Well, I guess to understand this argument, we need to define what "better" is. There are probably fewer discipline and behavior issues in private schools because they can kick a student out a lot easier than a public school due to the legal process that goes into an expulsion. However, there are also way less students of color and diversity for the most part. If I am sending my child to get an education that will prepare them for the real world, I want them to be part of a student body that reflects the racial and ethnic makeup for the real world.
There is also a stark contrast in what a public and private school teacher can earn in salary and benefits. I think that attracts a lot of applicants and probably leaves less of a talented pool of applicants for the private schools. I am not saying that there aren't talented teachers in private schools. I am saying that many of the teachers that are fresh out of school and looking to teach, are wanting to do so where they can make a decent amount of money to start paying off loans and starting to be established financially.
I also know for a fact that the amount of pull/influence that parents have in a private school setting is significantly stronger than in a public school. Private school teachers tell me that they really do not enjoy the sense of entitlement that writing a check gives many of the parents.
The bottom line, neither one is better or worse than the other. They are just very different from each other in what they can provide. For someone who does not want to deal with discipline issues and a diverse student body, many of the private schools are the way to go. For someone who wants a more diverse student body and greater amount of curricular options and tracks, public education usually gets the nod.
I made the decision long before getting our kids they would be educated in the public schools based on my experience. The fact one is Korean and the other bi-racial made sense to have them in a more diverse surroundings.
We live in the shadows of St. Agnes and when I did licensed care, the kids that I had in my care that attended school there came home with lots of paper from workbooks. My kids came home with science experiments and the like they were excited to share with us. I was always impressed with the education they were getting and the many different tracts they could choose from.
Tom, email the sysop. If you paid by paypal, give them the confirmation number from that payment and the name that would have been paid under. There isn't always a clear path from real name to user name.
They update that manually so that sometimes takes a couple days.
I guess it depends on the schools when it comes to which is better. Here is a chart from Richfield comparing test scores. The parochial school has the highest scores and a private school the lowest. My grandson attends Blessed Trinity. I'm sure he raised the curve. :smile:
Hi Gang! Long time listener, first time caller:) I have a quick question thst some of you may be able to answer. Was the record that Kirk Condie found the puck in at Newell Elvis Presley or Sly & The Family Stone? Thanks & happy hunting!
Strunk and White: I had to memorize that thing! Plus, the Associated Press Style book, it's all "one" vs. "1"; but I think the 1 is in there for a reason.
I would absolutely agree with you. My kids did fine till we got more inside the park then it was dooms day with that ice. Does make me wonder if the CW would go in pretty deep since its so slick.
Seems to have some potential once I could place the clues with what I saw. I almost don't want to attempt in the dark..yikes
I suppose I should get under the covers too.
Goodnight and SCDs!

Heading out for crosby at 10:00.

Some things to consider - VERY icy on paths, I highly recommend investing in boot cleats. Some of the cheaper ones are $5-10 at Gander Mountain.
The snow is very tough to dig (until it warms up). Rakes were not doing the job last night.
All I know if they give us a clue saying - look for a large tree- we're screwed.
