Hmm ... not expressly prohibited in the summons (although I think it's covered under a different rule, I believe you have to have specific permission to put a camera in any courtroom in the state). I did notice they omitted mp3 players however.

Congrats!
What state? I know Florida and Kentucky were similar - late September/early October. Hated the waiting.

North Carolina. (Quickest in the nation, maybe? I have friends in the Northeast who will only hear around Veterans Day; I don't think I could stand that.)

Waiting for KY was the worst. As a kid out of law school, waiting 60ish days was hard, but it was nothing like quitting a job, taking a new one, selling a house, moving my family, taking the bar exam during that time, and then having to wait about 75 days to find out if I passed. HUGE amount of pressure on me during that time. I was always in a bad mood until the cloud lifted.

Most certainly. Mid-afternoon on Tuesday, there was a powerful thunderstorm with strong winds (as can happen in NC) that knocked the power out _twice_ during the exam. As ATL described, this was essentially a livestock pen on the state fairgrounds with 1200 anxious test-takers inside... and it went pitch dark. Handwriters and people with bad laptop batteries were out of luck (I wasn't one of them). The examiners told us to keep testing through the outage (a crazy idea!). I was able to type and to use my laptop as a backlight to read the essay prompts. When the power came back on after a few minutes, the vinyl air ducts by the ceiling suddenly re-inflated, making a big enough sound that multiple people dropped to the floor and under their tables, thinking the roof was collapsing. Moments later, though, the power went out again -- this time for 45 minutes. Again, we kept testing. When the power was finally restored for good, they allotted us an additional 45 minutes at the end of the session to try to level the playing field. In the following days, however, the examiners apparently reconsidered. At one point, we were told that we might have to submit to a partial or complete re-test of the essays. That would have been a lovely prospect, and a logistical nightmare to boot. Finally, someone knocked some sense into them and they came up with the "afternoon essays optional" scoring method for this exam. It was a crazy time.

when I watch a show like Modern Marvels or something similar and they feature a an assembly line, I always wonder about how said assembly line comes to be. Does Hershey just go to factoryparts.com to order a giant label machine? Do they have engineers on staff to design all this stuff? Or a build staff to build new machines?

Wife signed paperwork on our new home a few days ago. We will be moving in around February.
I'd love to say I signed as well, but the loan will be in her name only due to my ex-wife wrecking my credit. My credit was bad before the divorce. It's just plain awful now. Credit score has been slightly improving this past year, but the damage was clearly done prior to that.

As long as I've known the song Our House, I don't think I ever realized it was Crosby Stills and Nash. Came on XM yesterday and the name flashed up there and I had no idea.

That's fair, though. It's very much Graham Nash, with Stills and Crosby just doing a little backup vocals. Though a lot of CSN songs are structured that way, depending on who wrote the song. |

I will always be partial to the one that sounds like the Beatles, not the one that sounds like the 80s.

Smooth first day of school for us.
Daughter, 2nd grade, was great. Last 2 years were struggles but she loved being responsible for her brother getting to his room, etc. Son, kindergarten, was a champ. He was dressed, on the couch with his backpack on at 7:20...for the bus at 8:30.

740? WTF? We're not even supposed to drop ours off before 745a (for an 805a official start) Is your system doing that split schedule stuff, where the HS doesn't start until like 9 and gets out at 4whatever? (so as to be able to double-shift the buses)

Kinda, but not that big a difference, just 30 minutes. Elementary goes 7:40-2:45, and middle/HS goes 8:10-3:15.

My kids are one final pickups. I believe first bell is 9a, and they begin at 9:15a. Done at 3:45p, home at 4:15 or so. We have the same that they shouldn't be dropped off more than 30 minutes prior, so 8:30 for elementary kids. Next door has a HS age son, the bus passes about 7:15, I think they start at 8a.

I can't imagine my kids being up that early consistently. My wife's a nurse, works a ton of 7a-7p in the summer. My parents watch the kids when we both work. I get them up at like 6:30-6:45, and it's a struggle. And that's twice a week Max. Can't imagine daily.

My high school started at 7:30. We were the early ones and then the other schools started a little later, I believe. I had to get up before 6 to catch a bus at around 6:45, iirc.

It does suck. Both kids get up at 6:15, just because I leave by 6:30 and the older one helps my wife gets things ready. The young one is not an early morning person, either.

It appears that no one has figured out that it's the high schoolers who need the extra sleep... they ship them off to 7:30a start times while the 6-year-olds who would wake up at 6 in the morning anyway don't start until 8:45.

Ours is set up that way - the older kids go later. It's just that it's not THAT much later. But that's probably due to the fact that we've got a small school system. The same bus that picks up my 8 year old at 6:55 is back by 7:35 to get my 13 year old. They probably start middle/HS so early because they can.

It is the opposite for us. The Elementary kids go in later and the middle/HS go early. It is a big difference, too. HS starts at 7 and Ele starts at 9. I think HS goes an hour longer as well.

At a prior job, I worked downtown and was in typically at 7, and always before 7:30. Days we both worked (kids not in school yet), I'd be up at 5, everything in the car by 5:30, kids in their carseats, out the door before 6, trolley parking lot by 6:30...looking back now, no idea how I did it.

Wow our 3rd grader starts at 7:15 and our 6th grader starts at 8:00.
Couldnt imagine a 9a start. If the 3rd grader rode the bus she'd have to be on it at 5:05. |

After two months of being primary caretaker of my now 15-month-old because of vacation, I finally get to go to the office and work my brain! I have never been so excited to go back to work in my life. My mind is racing with two months worth of ideas. Poor college freshmen... Poorer literature majors.

This is the first year since 1997 where I'm not playing fantasy football. I also skipped fantasy baseball for the first time in a about a decade. I miss drafting, but not feeling the need to react and take note of tidbits I hear about teams' backup RB situation. Hopefully I can enjoy the bigger picture or something. I probably spent 2-3 hours a week on my team for the last 15 years.
