  1. the #1 issue with britain is plumbing what they call a "power shower" is an electric water sprayer you have zero guarantee on potable water quality especially in the private homeowner rental market both cold and "hot" water could be coming from an open cistern in the attic with dead birds in it i would inquire with the owner of every rental property as to the type of plumbing they have on site you want to hear the owner say PRESSURIZED hot water, which you follow up with the question to clarify that the property has an UNVENTED CYLINDER for hot water creation those words will get you the bathing experience you take for granted in the rest of the western world +++ January days are SHORT in Escocia - with the time change it will be real tempting to burn half the available daylight before you've finished breakfast +++ I have too many recommendations that would break your primary itinerary so I will only say that if you are going to Mallaig and skipping Loch Morar shame on you +++ I want to hear more about this @Brisketexan Glasgow situation.
  2. I am pleased to read that admissions are taking in to account a number of the topics cited in this thread. Under current standards I never would have made the 40. There are still way too many admissions that should never be taken at the expense of the truly capable or deserving, and I'm not talking about grades. The System-7 paradigm ya'll are describing is admitting test takers over critical thinkers and achievers with ambition, and in my opinion the best way to moderate their presence in any admissions class would be a SAT/ACT style 1-hour extemporaneous interview with a panel of admissions experts. The opening question would be "what would you like to talk about today?" Questions should range the spectrum of topics - all disciplines - nothing off limits. No wrong answers. I want kids on the 40 who can think and do want to change the world. From personal experience I cite a 3.7 Philosophy grad from the 40 in the last decade who used the word "like" 2 or 3 times in every sentence in an interview, and when asked what s/he wanted to do with their degree, and what were their goals in life, could only answer "i'm still trying to figure it out". That kid took up a valuable place for 4 years and while s/he was admitted on grades and tests, would have been just fine at aggy.
  3. i hope we have aggy boxed out from anything to do with design, construction, engineering, etc.
  4. i stand corrected this means 8 of 12 3rd-place teams will make the round of 32 so we are playing 72 games to eliminate 16 teams
  5. remember - they ditched the groups of 3 and doing the correct thing: 8 groups of 6, which means 5 group games and fuck jerry it sucks the final won't be here but attending a US fixture is going to start in the thousands just to get in unless you win the lottery
  6. a lot of maroon schools are going to have .... a challenge with this
  7. the key point in the yahoo article: +++ SEC, Big Ten on Project DI The buzz within the two conferences grew louder last week, when Yahoo Sports published a story ahead of a meeting in Washington D.C. between the five major conference commissioners and NCAA president Charlie Baker — a story that outlined the Big Ten and SEC’s internal pushback of Baker’s proposed new college athlete model, dubbed Project DI. Project DI will be one of the first topics addressed by the joint advisory group, Sankey said. Project DI, revealed in December, would permit schools to strike NIL deals directly with athletes while also creating a separate subdivision in FBS for high-revenue producing schools. Those schools in the new subdivision will be required to put away into a trust a minimum of $30,000 annually per athlete for at least half of a school’s athletes.

  11. samuel practiced today normally running routes and catching passes in both RB and WR drills the only stat i can find for detroit to wishcast around is the 49ers have the most conference title appearances, but the most losses with a record of 7-11 in 18 games https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/most-conference-championship-losses-nfl-team
  12. friday 17th is only 7 days between semis and final - not nearly enough time for physical recovery, preparation for the next opponent, and depending on how the prior locations sort out, no way enough time for 2 fanbases to potentially undertake their 2nd transcon trip in as many weeks the better move would be push it back to the 25th, the saturday on the weekend of the league's conference finals

  18. armybrat plaintext: In 2015, University of Missouri Deans met with University of Missouri System President Tim Wolfe on October 9 and October 13 to ask for Loftin's resignation. On October 21, the Curators met behind closed doors in what was speculated by some to be related to proceedings about Loftin's role in shutting down ties between Planned Parenthood and the University. State Rep. Caleb Jones, R-Columbia, speculated on Twitter that Loftin would be fired for his role in shutting down MU's connections to Planned Parenthood. On November 3, The MU English department faculty voted unanimously in a vote of no confidence against Loftin. Then on November 9, nine deans called on the UM System Board of Curators for Loftin's removal. Citing Loftin's handling of race and cultural issues, the firing of the dean of the School of Medicine, the abrupt cancellation of graduate student health insurance subsidies in August, and the elimination of the vice chancellor for health sciences, they wrote that Loftin had created a “toxic environment through threat, fear and intimidation." That same day, amid protests which culminated with the resignation of president Wolfe earlier that day, Loftin announced that he would resign at the end of 2015 and take a research role at the University.[6] On November 11, the Curators voted to hasten his departure from January 1 to be effective immediately. Loftin's responsibilities were transferred to Interim Chancellor Hank Foley. In his not clearly defined role after his departure from the office of Chancellor,[7] Loftin's annual salary was $337,500.[8]
  19. does the book talk about the origin of the standing offer they were claiming in '07?
  20. fwiw THECB is currently run by a made ex-Horn with zero visible aggy ties on his linkedin, and he has been in the job for 4+ years. as for slocum, allow me to post his wiki job history: 1972 Texas A&M (offensive asst.) 1973–1978 Texas A&M (defensive asst.) 1979–1980 Texas A&M (DC) 1981 USC (DC) 1982–1988 Texas A&M (DC) 1989–2002 Texas A&M with the exception of 1 year he was there when the cheating began, flourished, and was finally punished was he a driving force? or just complicit? does it matter? he absolutely paid for sherrill's bullshit anyone with integrity much less an adherent to the aggy creed was out of there by '84 when the cheating reached full velocity
