Maybe because there is more than one building on the site? so "the" roof is one of several, and the leaks might not even bee from "the" roof in the first place? maybe it's from the seams between buildings? it is really harder than most people think to track down leaks, water in motion is tricky stuff.

You're trying to tell me that directly over the bucket isn't a good start? That there's some sort of roller coaster happening between the ceiling and the roof that cause water in one location to fall on the ground somewhere completely different?!

Now this is just bizarre....

Is this what psychologists call "projection" (though I may be wrong about the term and am describing something else instead): one person has a situation-specific bad experience and then sees that experience in all sorts of other situations that don't really fit the original situation except in a very superficial way.

there's no doubt that the female student did suffer some kind of serious trauma, and one feels bad for her. at the same time, to act out in this manner?? doesn't she realize how she is taking a serious problem and making it sound trivial? which is just the opposite of what she wants??

Doesn't their 'husky' logo look a LOT like the MN Timberwolves logo? Just Askin'.

So, wait... Crunch raped her?

On the weekend of May 17, the state Department of Transportation will be closing lanes on northbound Interstate 95, as well as the Long Wharf entrance to I-95 north....During the weekend of May 17, there will be additional restrictions, including closing the northbound Long Wharf Drive entrance ramp between 11 p.m. May 17 and 5 a.m. May 18. Mercure said it will be a “weekend’s worth of work that’s going to cause some disruption” for drivers.

sounds innocuous enough, right?


well...

One complication is that May 17-19 is commencement weekend for Yale University, the University of New Haven and Albertus Magnus College,

What the fark???

Three colleges having graduation on the same weekend, and that's the weekend you choose to close the major interchange? I95 and I91 are both major arteries and you are going to take thousands of out-of-town drivers and do what with them exactly?


New Haven isn't exactly the most sensibly-laid out city to begin with. You can be standing in the middle of an intersection, and the street to your left will have one name, and the street to your right will have a different name, yet the road runs directly from one into the other. and many of the major streets wind around in loops and swirls. have fun on your detours, folks!

Transgender student told to wear female gown

ALBUQURQUE (KRQE) - A Saint Pius senior was born a girl, but refuses to go graduate in a girl's gown. The Catholic school says too bad.

At the Saint Pius High School graduation ceremony, the girls wear white gowns and the boys wear black. It is school policy and Saint Pius insists Damian is a girl.

“I just want to walk in my black robe, nice and proud and have that memory to look back on with my family and friends,” said Damian Garcia. “I would rather not walk than to embarrass myself by wearing a female robe.”

Damian Garcia was born Brandi Garcia, but identifies as a male even having a legal name-change last year. Fellow students, teachers and faculty call Garcia "Damian" and so does Damian’s family.

“I look at him and I call him my son. That's how he wishes to be acknowledged is as a male,” said father Luis Garcia.

The Saint Pius Superintendent tells KRQE News 13, Saint Pius goes by what the student's birth certificate says if there's any question on what gender-color they wear at graduation.

Sorry, but that's not a WT* post, and I have little sympathy. It's a private school, if he and his parents don't like it, they should've sent him to public school.

So if your school made you wear a girl's robe to your graduation you wouldn't say "UUTF?" Interesting.

We had unisex robes at my Catholic high school. Everyone wore the school colors.

It sounds like color is the only difference here, it's not like they're making him wear an evening gown and carry a purse. Regardless, the point still stands. It's a private school, and they set the dress code. If the boys wear black robes and the girls wear white robes, then that's that.

Look, I don't like it either, I think it's an obviously dogmatic move by a conservative Catholic administration, but I'm not going to pity the kid nor his parents too much, they're paying for the privilege of sending him there. If they wanted him taught in a more understanding environment, they should have sent him to public school.

I don't see that it makes much difference what the kid wears. Seems like the administration is trying to make a point needlessly, to humiliate the kid in the process. On the other hand, I've had it up to here with people who make it their life's work to force others to "accept" (meaning, "approve") of their choices.

The TG issue is going to be a mess while people figure out what the heck to do.

What do you do with sports teams when Robert who is now Roberta wants to play on the girls team? H/She has not yet undergone assignment surgery or hormone therapy b/c h/she is too young. Washington State, I think, is the first state to formally address the issue.
