  1. Not sure why during a cold spell, I get a hankering for a Dairy Queen Blizzard. My go to is the Cookie Jar blizzard. It's a combo of Oreo and Cookie dough.

  4. damn, even at the bulk postage option thats easily a $30,000 mistake by the loan company.

  5. Since the rule of law has been usurped, by the collusion to protect the President from his own wrongdoing I pose the question. Should the Dems (if they win the Presidency) prosecute the wrongdoings of the prior administration? Never, ever, before would I have suggested such a thing. Simply because I think it takes us down a dark partisan path. But since the GOP controlled Justice Department and GOP controlled Senate has refused to enforce the rule of law and already set us upon this path, should the Dems follow along this dark path? Now let me be clear here, I am not talking about Trump's very likely incarceration for campaign finance law breaking that landed Cohen in prison. I am talking about the next President taking a hard look back at what would be very, very easy to find criminality, by using the FBI and Justice Department to simply do some investigation. Just as Republican Senators knew that any light shed upon Trump's actions would be very, very damning. Should the Justice Department investigate to find the truth? I don't think it's the solution in all honesty. I am simply posing the question.
  6. I very much disagree with his endorsement of Sanders, but I oddly respect him more for it. Not sure why. https://www.theblaze.com/news/social-media-attempts-to-cancel-joe-rogan-after-his-bernie-sanders-endorsement
  7. Creating chaos for travelers. Spiked overnight from 9 confirmed deaths to 17. Wuhan ain't a rocking. Did not see a post on this but would love to know what the group think is on this one. Reports today stated experts think people were eating bats. We need to learn to stop eating bats. From BBC. Wuhan, a Chinese city of nearly nine million people, is to temporarily shut public transport as it tries to halt the outbreak of a new strain of virus. Those living in the city have been advised not to leave, in a week when millions of Chinese are travelling for the upcoming Lunar New Year holiday. The respiratory illness has spread to other parts of China, with some cases in other countries including the US. There are more than 500 confirmed cases and 17 people have died. Known for now as 2019-nCoV, the virus is understood to be a new strain of coronavirus not previously identified in humans. The Sars (severe acute respiratory syndrome) virus that killed nearly 800 people globally in the early 2000s was also a coronavirus, as is the common cold. All the fatalities so far have been in Hubei, the province around Wuhan. Chinese virus: How worried should we be? Wuhan: The London-sized city where the virus began New China virus: Your questions answered Meanwhile, after a day of discussions in Geneva, the World Health Organization's (WHO) emergency committee has announced it will not yet declare a "global emergency" over the new virus. Director general Dr Tedros Ghebreyesus said more information was needed about the spread of the infection. The committee of health experts will meet again on Thursday. A global emergency is the highest level of alarm the WHO can sound and has previously been used in response to swine flu, Zika virus and Ebola. What measures have been announced? Chinese officials said that from Thursday, all flights and passenger train services out of Wuhan would be stopped. Bus, subway and ferry services would also shut down from 1000 local time. A special command centre in Wuhan set up to contain the virus said the move was meant to "resolutely contain the momentum of the epidemic spreading". https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-51215348

  10. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/jan/08/prince-harry-and-meghan-say-they-are-stepping-back-from-royal-family Apparently it's a big deal across the pond. I don't know why the Brits care so much what a guy 6th in line to the crown does with his life and his hot wife.
  11. several reports that HC Rocky Long is shopping himself to P5 programs as a DC. Rumor that he interviewed with Babers at Syracuse today. Why the fuck would he leave the Mesa for Syracuse? Speculation is, he's almost 70 and tired of the responsibility of being HC. Some seem to think that the AD is pushing him to replace the OC, and this is his way of pushing back. Anyway, if we lose him, I hope Hoke gets the job, again.
  12. That's good. Where is Brad? Oh, south of France I think. Well, shouldn't he be here? Oh, Brad is the executive plumber. We do all the work.
  13. True Story: Texas - W2 West Virginia - W1 Kansas State - L1 Oklahoma - L1 Baylor - L2 Iowa State - L2 Oklahoma State - L2 TCU - L2 Texas Tech - L3 Kansas - L4 So we have that going for us, which is nice. Thanks for shitting the bed in the bowls, Big XII teams not named Texas! Somebody inform Kyle Umlang on Twitter.
  14. Okie lite lost to aggy, ISU blown out by domers, and OU was blown out by LSU. We'll see how Baylor does against Georgia and KState still has to play but regardless I think it's already clear this conference had a down year, and we could only muster 5-4 in this dumpster fire. I just wanted to vent. I'm sure others feel my frustration. Make or break for Herman and co. in 2020. Big 12 champ game or bust

More than half of the adoptions – 3,095 – were by relatives, also a new record for CPS, according to a Texas Department of Family and Protective Services news release Wednesday. The number of children leaving foster care outnumbered the number entering care by more than 1,700 children, a trend the state hopes will continue. “This is certainly great news, and affirmation that our year-round adoption efforts are paying off,” said Kristene Blackstone, CPS Associate Commissioner. “And in many cases we are reunifying these children with their families.” While the number of children entering the state’s care has dropped in recent years, to 18,615 in FY 2019, the number of adoptions has steadily increased, up by 25% in the last decade. ADVERTISING inRead invented by Teads As National Adoption Month wrapped up Thanksgiving weekend, more than 400 children and youth in Texas found permanent homes during Texas’ busiest month for adoptions. But as Commissioner Blackstone said, the need for permanent homes is year-round, and with Christmas only a few weeks away she hopes more foster children will benefit from the season’s good will. “November is our busiest adoption month, by far, but there is nothing more joyful than an adoption at Christmastime,” she said.
  18. I respect Jeff Monken as a football coach and a leader of young men. I imagine a lot of folks are embarrassed by what they thought was a unifying slogan that turns out to be anything BUT that. I have followed Army football pretty closely since 2013 and never even noticed the letters on the skull flag. Nobody worth a shit wants their name tied to something so divisive. Do you feel like it was handled correctly? Army football program dropped motto of white supremacist origin Dan MurphyESPN Staff Writer The Army football program removed a slogan from merchandise and a team flag earlier this year after administrators were told that the phrase originated with white supremacist gangs. For the past several years, the Black Knights have taken the field for each game flying a pair of banners: the American flag and a black skull-and-crossbones flag with four letters inscribed on what would be the upper lip of the skull: GFBD. The acronym is shorthand for "God Forgives, Brothers Don't" and has been part of the football program's lexicon since the mid-1990s. West Point officials and members of the athletic department said they were unaware that the phrase links to motorcycle gangs and Aryan Brotherhood sects until that connection was brought to their attention in September. Athletic director Mike Buddie said head football coach Jeff Monken addressed the team in September after learning about the phrase's roots and told them it would immediately be removed from the program. According to Buddie, Monken was "mortified" and planned to use the instance as a "teaching moment" for his players. "It's embarrassing, quite frankly," said Lt. Gen. Darryl Williams, the superintendent of the United States Military Academy. "... We take stuff like this very, very seriously. Once I found out about this goofiness, I asked one of our most senior colonels to investigate." After finding and adopting this flag as a symbol of team camaraderie upon arriving at Army, Black Knights football coach Jeff Monken has since removed a slogan from it after learning that it originated with white supremacist gangs. Dustin Satloff/Getty Images After a two-month investigation, military officials said they determined that the motto was used without knowing its origin, and therefore its use by the team was "benign" and had nothing to do "with the views or beliefs of white supremacist groups or any other disreputable organizations with which they might also be associated," according to an executive summary of the investigation's final report. An expert on far-right hate groups from the Anti-Defamation League said the GFBD phrase -- an omerta used to discourage snitching -- likely started among outlaw biker gangs and was at some point adopted by members of the Aryan Brotherhood. Mark Pitcavage, who earned a doctoral degree in American military history before studying far-right extremism as part of his role with the Anti-Defamation League, said he was not aware of the phrase being used by any military groups in the past or having roots elsewhere. The skull-and-crossbones imagery was first used by Army football players to symbolize "toughness, tenacity, camaraderie and accountability" in the early 1990s and appeared on T-shirts before it was put on the team flag, according to investigators. The GFBD phrase wasn't made part of that symbolism by football players until 1996, according to Buddie. A group of players adopted the phrase after seeing it in the action movie "Stone Cold," starring former NFL linebacker Brian Bosworth. In the film, Bosworth plays a police officer who goes undercover to join a Mississippi biker gang called "The Brotherhood." The fictitious gang prominently displays Confederate and Nazi flags in its clubhouse throughout the movie, and members wear jackets that feature a burning cross and SS lightning bolts. Bosworth's love interest in the movie has a "GFBD" tattoo, and another member of the gang says "God Forgives, Brothers Don't" during a climactic fight scene. Buddie said West Point's investigators spoke to the former cadet who initiated the use of the phrase in the football program, and he told them he did not know of its connection to any white supremacist groups. West Point officials declined to share the name of the former cadet and said it would be redacted in publicly accessible versions of the investigation report. Officials declined to share the name of the colonel who conducted the investigation or make him available for an interview. They also declined requests to speak to Monken and other current members of the football program. Monken, who has been the Black Knights' coach since the 2014 season, told ESPN in August -- before he or any other members of the athletic department say they were aware of the phrase's origin -- that someone on his staff discovered the GFBD flag in an equipment room shortly after their arrival. The flag had not been used by recent teams, but Monken decided to bring it back to try to inspire camaraderie among his players. An upperclassman on the team told ESPN in August that the flag had come to represent the team's mentality in everything they do. "That's become our symbol," he said. "I don't know if you can see it, but it says 'GFBD' over the teeth: God Forgives, Brothers Don't. That's just something we always say, and that's become part of us." Neither the player nor the interviewer was aware of the motto's white supremacy origins at the time. ESPN is choosing not to use his name because West Point officials have declined to make him or any other players available for follow-up questions. When ESPN first asked to learn more about the history of the skull and crossbones -- before discovering the "God Forgives, Brothers Don't" origin -- multiple spokespeople in the athletic department discouraged the inclusion of any mention of the GFBD phrase. One spokesman said he would "sincerely appreciate leaving that out of the story because it is an internal thing." Another athletic department official said in September that he had not heard Monken or any of the team members use the GFBD phrase before. The phrase appeared on several official social media accounts for the team and its staff, on merchandise and on the flag the team carried to the field and displayed in its main meeting room. It was engraved on the inside of rings given to the team for winning the Armed Forces Bowl. When asked why ESPN was discouraged from using the phrase if no one at West Point was aware of its problematic origins, an academy spokesman said the athletic department officials were concerned that any motto that uses the word "God" might be misinterpreted as the military espousing religion and might create problems for an institution that works hard to keep matters of church and state separate. Since dropping the slogan, the academy has updated the process it uses to vet and approve publicly accessible mottos or phrases used by teams and clubs at West Point. According to the executive summary of its investigation, the academy is considering creating a replacement motto for a "new era" of Army football.
  19. For those who do a fair bit of travel but might be going to a new city/airport, perhaps some good insights might be helpful. I type this because I had one of the better airport meals at MSY at Emeril's Table. Great gumbo and excellent pork chop. Destroys IAH's Pappadeaux offering.
  20. The biggest ATX prospect ever and he's going to go to UNC because we are going to be firing Shaka right around the time Brown signs his LOI. Not to mention potential 2021 five star KJ Adams at Westlake. GBIII has been (according to those who follow this sort of thing) a virtual Texas lock for a long time now. The longer we keep this lame duck coach around, the harder it becomes trying to picture these guys staying home. imo GBIII is the kind of guy who can change your program overnight, and it's going to be a real gut punch if we end up losing out on him wearing burnt orange because of an extension we gave Shaka when Greg Brown was 13.
