When my old church implemented protection policy mid 1990s. It was two adults regardless of number of youth. Policy written by the insurance company. Sad part was people who didn’t like it relented when we said it would save money,
That standard is all over churches now as yes, it was written by legal teams in the employ of the insurance industry who then made it a stipulation of your insurance coverage for liability.
Like most things in America, laws that legislate behavior can be tough to enforce but laws/policies that hit the pocketbook are more effective.-

Yea the Cavaliers were never even in the state of New York in 2002. I am not the world's best in geography, but it looks like Toledo Ohio was the closest they ever got to Buffalo that year.
To be fair. Buffalo and Toledo are both armpits on the end of Lake Erie…

The Navy should have been saying that saying back in 1991. The "Tailhook" scandal shook the Navy to its very foundation.
By the time I got to Boot Camp in 1997, we were receiving training and lectures on it.
Yeah, I was in a grad school seminar in a fairly progressive school where a guest speaker from the Navy (recently retired) in 1993 was giving his two cents on why the forthcoming "Don't ask, don't tell" policy was a terrible idea because, "we have men as young as 18 joining the military and there might be perverts after them."
A woman in the back stood up to presumably ask the next question and simply said, "Tailhook," and sat down.
Navy guy shut up pretty fast.-

DCI WACO just added to the schedule. @Hook'emCavies may have to drive a little north if the Houston show doesn't get flushed out. Cavies will be in WACO.
Why not both?

1983 - I was 13 and enthralled all way from Rocky Point Holiday to Simple Song
1987 - We sat around in August band camp talking about how great that closer was and how cool the play to exit the field tag was (something not really seen again until Phantom 2010 I think?)
1993 - For all that I was pulling for Star because I had friends in that show, the Holsinger was incredible and not to be denied.
2000 - Forgot to add this one on the initial post. I was there in College Park and the "anything you can do, I can do better" between the sections was bonkers.
2014 - for all the criticism it got, I loved it (until they did the banners at finals, i could live with the ramp). The narrator nailed that night after night.

There are plenty of years that the gold medal show wasn't my favorite show that season. Heck i can admit as a BD Honk, there are some years BD wins, their show isn't my favorite on the field that year.
2015, like it or not, Crown had no one to blame but themselves. They had a flat run, while BD arguably laid down their best run of the year. If Crown matched their Semi's run on finals night, we might be having a different conversation. Crown left the door open, BD walked thru it. Period.
2019. Honestly, I was fine with either BD or Bloo winning it. As fans we were lucky to have two worthy gold medal shows. The fans won that year. That Saturday night, it happened to go to BD. If there was a Sunday night, that easily could have went to Bloo.
And the Bloo fans were EXTREMELY classy here on DCP that night. I remember that clearly because that's when I became a huge fan of Bloo's fanbase. Bloo fans are my favorite followed by BAC fans. Great fanbases.
The hatred and nonsense that was being spewed on DCP that night in 2019 after scores were announced weren't from Bluecoats fans. It was the ABBD crowd and other assortments of basement trolls.
And people annoyed by Damp Otter announcing “The Blue…..”

It just occurred to me that religion is not mentioned anywhere in the report. Anyone know why?
As a professor of religion and interfaith studies I presume it isn’t because whatever consultant they’re using as they develop this doesn’t have it on their radar. Which is something that would be a red flag to me for any diversity and inclusion work. There are surely marchers who need as the least dietary considerations for religious reasons.

True w/ knees. And shoulders even more so - consider all the ways that they can move. I’m looking at a shoulder replacement in about a year or so. My whole right side will be metal - shoulder, femur, ankle.
Concerning recruitment- I hope everyone is able to field the numbers that they want.
Alumni Corps should come out full blast with cyborg themes!

Wow, that’s quick. I think my knee took about three hours. It was a mess.
His was pretty textbook hip replacement. He was to the point where there was bone on bone but it hadn't done the worst in breaking through or anything. So it was the usual fairly small incision, go in and scrape out the goo set the titanium rod into the femur then the self installing hip thingy that expands. The video on it was pretty nifty.
I've gotten the impression from people who have had knees done that knees are more complicated because they move more different ways-

It's ok; they've got you covered. Most groups now travel with a Level 1 mobile trauma unit. Hip replacement? Not a problem... 😂
When my dad had his hip replacement they said the surgery will take “about an hour” and they were right. But all I could think was “HipCrafters; a new hip in about an hour.”

Ok. Just rewatched that show and heck yes. A few other things my eye and ear sees in retrospect.
1. They were carrying through some of the musical things they'd done in previous shows such as the theremin from 2015.
2. They were testing some of the things they'd do with great effect the next year, soloists listening clear across the field to form a duet.
3. That. Flag. Feature.-

Honestly, last year's announcement didn't buzz that much for me. And the Concert in the Park video that followed had me appreciating the music book and that they were continuing to develop the complexity level.
But when I saw together on the field...wow. Yeah that got my attention.-

If push comes to shove, and they really overlook the age rule, I'm available.
That word 'really' is doing a lot of heavy lifting in this sentence.
Maybe forging the birth certificate in one digit could fool a few but not changing all four digits...

brb. Getting my movie stub collection to go collect some Oscars.
I mean, I get that the creative collective is motivated by who buys tickets to be entertained by their productions. But never have I had illusions that that I had a say in the 'outcome' of what determines 'excellence' in film beyond a right to spout my own 2¢ for people to ignore.-
