  I'm sure that was nerves being in the game for the first time.  He looked pretty good after that.

  Yeah,  Weeden looked pretty good while he was in.  He has a real strong arm!  And even I could go in and hand it off to Murray.  LOL

  They also missed a couple of PI penalties on that last drive and holding all second half on the skins.   Dosen't matter.  Dallas should have run the ball down their throats all night and kept throwing screens to catch them on the blitzes.  Poor play calling on both sides of the ball for Dallas.

  I know, that's why I rarely respond to her posts.  Sometimes I can't help myself.

not surprised, they are running scared right now.

  Put him in jail for deliberately endangering his partners.  There is precedent for this.

  Look up WWI  and WWII and see how it was used there.  Also , look up on how Saddam used it on the Kurds and Iranians.  Of course  I know that won't change your opinion, but having a little historical context might enlighten you a little.

huh?

Another tribute from former students,  including Tim Foust from Home Free.   [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6u6EdtX_hPI[/media]

Mrs. Nau founded Ned & Company in the late 70's and ran it until 2009 when she retired.  She also taught German for many other students.  She was recently diagnosed with colon cancer.   Over 50 former Ned & Co students from all over put together a tribute video for her on You Tube using the closing song that they did at every performance.  I think this is a very cool tribute to a teacher who put so much time into her students.  I didn't have her ,  but I always heard positive things about her.   [Hidden Content]   [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsreSJYCThM[/media]

They charge so dang much for season tickets I don' t blame them for selling them.  Much cheaper to watch it on the tube.   And its not just Dallas, its becoming a trend all over the NFL.  That's why its so important for the NFL to get those distribution rights sold to the networks.

not too surprising, FSU has played like crap the last two weeks.

  Well, lets get it back on shall we?

Back on topic!

  Depends.  If the refinery prefers in-house maintenance and I&E techs, they will hire them.  Some stuff is contracted out.  But look at PA's and Beaumont's unemployment rates , they haven't gone down much since the last expansions ( Motiva, ATOFina, etc.)  The PA council is still mad at them for not hiring local, but there are not enough qualified people!

Not trying to be a downer, but if you look at these expansions they bring in alot of construction jobs while they are going on but not a whole bunch of permanent jobs.  It does expand the tax base however.   They might build two whole new units in a refinery but they only need maybe 10-15 operators to run it.

I am surprised California is not higher on the worst list.

  Unless you live in Katy, Cinco Ranch, or Cypress.

That is true.  If you look at the areas with a high amount of industrial jobs, there are a lower amount of 4 year degrees.  Doesn't mean they don't make pretty good money though.

There is not really any pics on their site.  Here is the company that built it.   Surprised it is only 8K seat stadium.   [Hidden Content]

It seems that although some schools have high High School followings that it is not translating to Lamar, even when local players are playing there.  That would point to the product on the field and also to people who are loyal to "their" college school.    A&M , UT, LSU and even SFA have large followings down here, even among LU grads.

Pretty cool, but I have tried those virtual keyboards before.   They are not that easy to type on, because you don't have the tactile response to your brain by typing on keys.
