The Navy game? 72
-
Fox Sports 1 gives us the nod as one of the most awesome helmets of the postseason.
Maybe some comments about the game will prompt them to talk more about the play, and not just the helmet? (Which does still deserve a lot of talk.)

I second Kram's suggestion of Munich and Saltzburg. Although my favorite German city is Berlin. Save money by staying on the east side, and take mass transit to get around. The city has some awesome history (although you'll find that throughout Europe) and really interesting atmosphere. But if you're going to Munich, go to Marienplatz around 7am one morning and listen to the bells and enjoy the square before it gets crowded.

My father served as a Minister of Music when I was growing up, so I've got quite a lot of experience with Sacred Harp Hymns, new hymns, and contemporary music. I think they all have their place. Those songs you call old hymns, some were originally drinking songs. Fanny Crosby (Blessed Assurance, I Am Thine oh Lord, etc) often used secular tunes. The Salvation Army did it as well. The whole point is remaining relevant in the evolving culture. Good churches are constantly trying new ways to reach the lost. I'm not saying it's all effective or completely pure in motive, but the best part is that God can use anything, regardless of how much we humans mess it up. Contemporary and traditional services both have their place because they allow people to worship in the way that best speaks to them.
Some of the additional buildings that churches build seem unconventional but are designed to meet people where they are. For instance, the church we attend built a new sports complex a few years ago. It was built to serve a community need for more safe places for children to get involved in sports because all the church leagues in the area had waiting lists. The complex is free and open to the public, and while there is a small coffee bar in the main house, we added it so moms could sit and talk while watching their kids play. Church members of all ages are encouraged to go to the complex and build friendships with people who use the facilities. So it's truly an outreach ministry. All that to say that some of those buildings really do have a higher purpose and while they may not be for you, they can reach others.

We also got a call from a guy on the track and field team. We weren't home, so he left us a message, but it was very personable and sincere. I wish we'd been home to talk to him. It was a nice way to come home, and sure beats a bunch of telemarketer calls on the machine. Thanks, Athletic Department and the young man who called us.

Or, since we're stressing defense this year..."You're going to score less points than us."
I hate to be the board grammarian, but it should be 'You're going to score fewer points than us.' But I still like the sign.

The only reason to make a pregnant woman see a sonogram is to punish her for something you disapprove of. That's wrong.
As for when a fetus becomes human, I think the exercise is silly. An oocyte or a sperm cell is human but I don't think you want to grant those cells legal rights. If you did half the posters on GMG would be committing mass murder every evening.
No, sperm and oocytes are gametes that contain only half of our requisite chromosomes. They are of human origin but are not human.

We can't find it either...

We had our first child about 18 months ago. At 8 weeks we heard his heartbeat. For me, at that moment he was truly alive. At 12 weeks they were able to predict gender with 97% accuracy. If a tiny human, with distinct internal organs like mine and a heartbeat like mine can be seen at 8 weeks post conception, I just don't understand the argument that life begins at birth.
I personally don't believe abortion is right, but I also don't believe it's appropriate to tell someone else what is right for them. And I believe that should extend to the government as well.

How are more people not in love with Poppy's Kettle Corn? That stuff is super addictive. I also think a smaller serving option is a good ideav.

Talked to a cop and a CSC guy. They said he got charged with felony criminal treaspassing. He defintely spent some time at the jail.
That's really going to suck when he gets out of school and on every single job application has to say that he's been convicted of a felony...

Another thing to keep in mind with the sentencing - Sandusky was labeled a dangerous pedophile so even if he were to get out, he would always have to register with tge state, and would have plenty of restrictions. Not that it's better than the guy getting 60 years, but it is another aspect of his sentence.

Ehhh, I'd say it's a smart policy. Unless you're using an outside entity to information gather from a person's social media, you're likely gaining access to protected class information, even if it's not private. Legally, you're not allowed to come upon age, race, gender, etc. in a search. If it's a question you can't ASK on a job form or in an interview, it's one you can't find the answers for online. What this means is you have to have a pretty complex search method and criteria, as well as concrete policies and procedures for how to handle the information. Anything less, and the company is open to lawsuits.
I know a few companies farm this stuff out, because then they can adopt the criteria from a vendor who's software or search methods can parse out the information that you're not legally allowed to view. Otherwise, you can't have anybody involved in hiring actually do the searches, and then they'd have to record and separate the information.
This. I work for a very large public company. We contract out the initial screen, so unless an employee knows a candidate personally, the first time we see a candidate's name is after they make it through the first resume and phone screens. An employee on the candidate's potential team then does a basic skills phone screen,and then if the candidate passes, they're brought in for a 4-6 hour in person interview. Employees who participate in interviews get trained precisely because the company doesn't want to open itself up to lawsuits. However, during the interview process we do quite a few behavioral interviews, so we get some pretty good ideas of a person's social media responsibility.
Also to clarify, the social media monitoring is specifically when the company is referenced.
-
It is absolutely forbidden at my company to use social media search results as a criteria when screening a candidate. If we are caught doing it, well, let's just say you won't be making hiring decisions any time soon.
However, when you're already employed by the company, I do know that they'll monitor anything you post online.

We have a 17 month old whom we bring to all the games. Last year we juslt kept him in our laps but we went ahead and bought a season ticket for him this year. That way we can still keep our awesome seats once he gets older.

Mid-Major All Tournament Team
There will be some serious mid-major talent featured in the early rounds of the NIT Season Tip-Off including a pair of projected 2013 lottery picks in Tony Mitchell and CJ McCollum.
Tony Mitchell, North Texas – Mitchell is unlike anything you'd expect to find in the Sun Belt. He's 6-foot-8, 235 pounds with a 41-inch vertical and a 7-foot-4 wingspan. Measurables more than good enough to make NBA scouts drool. Mitchell was a top-20 recruit out of high school and attended four schools in three states. He was ruled an academic non-qualifier at Missouri before paying his own way to North Texas. After playing one semester, or 22 games, last season, Mitchell opted to forgo the NBA draft and return for his sophomore season in North Texas.

I'm getting married in about three weeks, and other than the regular wedding cake, we are going to have a green cake in the shape of the SOW...still trying to find a way to incorporate the fight song.
Have them play the fight song either as you leave the chapel (she might have issues with this though) or when you enter the reception.

When I was working on my Master's, we took a tour through the Rare Book Room. If you've never gone, you should. They have some amazing history in there, and even if you're not a bibliophile, the place is fascinating. They have so much material that they can't display even half of what they have. Glad to hear the space was renovated.
