They ransacked the place and only took a 19 inch flat screen. No money, no video game system, no CDs or DVDs, no clothes or shoes. [/quote] But that's all I asked them to take, just to send a message. ;) [/quote] Those big dummies just can't get it right. They were supposed to only take your computer :D Seriously; That really sux and its not a very welcome return.

OCARC results [Hidden Content]

[quote name="DP#1FAN" post="1031382" timestamp="1312459056"] The Bears just need to build off what they did last year. They are moving in the right direction. Look for the defense to be much improved. A couple of people are going to have to step up big on offense. We all kow they lost some talent there.  Don't count the Bears out this season. [/quote] Agree

OCARC tounament this weekend. A great tournament and a great time [Hidden Content]

Does he have the same potential? if so; wow!

Here is where you need to be

Probably no coincidence that Community School is starting up their six man football team this year. Go Lions!

Fear not! We still have Carlos Lee.  >:(

How many years do you think it will take for this to pay off, if ever?

Pence just pulled mid game because of trade.

In most cases the expectations are very high at the beginning of the season. There's always a lot of talk about deep runs or even state championships, not to mention being ranked in the top ten year after year. To loose out in the first or second round makes some feel more was expected. I'm not saying they're right but thats what people think. WOS has a successful season every year. Some just expect/hope for more

[quote name="incognito123" post="1028016" timestamp="1311628169"] That I'm reading this board, counting down the hours until next Monday, while getting a pedicure? ? Haha. Amazing... ;D [/quote] It's wrong that you had to ask. ::)

I have high hopes for WOS but it is a new offense and even though I expect them to do well I hope fans can be patient if they have to work out any kinks. Thompson has played a huge role in the Mustangs past success but to say he ran the program for the last 20 years is a bit insulting to coach Hooks. JMO

Nice haul. Finally some photo proof to support the credibility of all those fish tales. ;D

Sounds like a good trip. Where's Destin? You sure don't catch Trigger fish like used to.

[quote name="I dont play well with Jaguars" post="1022863" timestamp="1310060474"] Just heard from very reliable sources that WEAK BROOKE SUCKS! Now i cant confirm nor deny the info is credible but the info came from the North End of Beaumont and from somewhere West of the I-35 corridor.  ;D [/quote] One thing I agree with, your news is broken.  ;D

I gave Pleasure Island a try Saturday morning. I only caught a couple and it heated up quick but still had a great time. I tried some of those private piers. I told 'em I knew a couple of guys named three balls and TVC but got ran off anyway ;D

Maybe some flounder

[quote name="tvc184" post="1020606" timestamp="1308943773"] Private pier. [/quote] FYI - Posting fishing reports like this from a private pier really doesn't count as a fishing report. It's just braggin'  :)

The wind will dictate where you can fish. I read a good report about the Neches River.

[quote name="tvc184" post="1020606" timestamp="1308943773"] Private pier. [/quote] You guys are killin' me

[quote name="tvc184" post="1020568" timestamp="1308908087"] We probably put about 50 on the dock with 20 keepers. We lost about another 20 (at least) that dropped off the hook as we were lifting them out of the water onto the dock as we were about 6 feet above the water and a 3 foot rail. About 12 of the keepers were at least 17" with no really big ones except the mega-speck that OTB let go. NEVER NEVER NEVER try to pick a speck out of the water with your hands......  ;D It would have gone 4 pounds minimum. We thought it was a redfish. [/quote] Causway Pier?

I never said there was no place for any contract services in school maintenance. Of course you have to evaluate the value of certain things. The issue was contracting out the whole maintenance department. To do so is usually not practical or economical. True, industry and schools both have laws and regulations. The point is, there are many industry focused maintenance contract services but they can’t transition into education maintenance. There are very few education focused maintenance contract services out there. As bad as I hate to bring it up, when Nederland’s first bond failed construction costs were the highest they had ever been. In terms of value, now would be a good time to pass a bond because construction costs are quite low now and may not go any lower. A community’s school system plays a big role in successful growth. If a. family is relocating what is the one thing that determines where they choose to move? Schools

Smitty As I stated earlier, IF a maintenance department is run correctly and IF the department has the budget and has the support of admin it is more efficient and affordable than contracting out those services. Maintenance within a school system has a lot of state and federal laws and requirements that are totally different than the industrial world. It would require a specialty contracting service to perform school services. Most districts that resort to this type of service do it to alleviate the headache rather than for financial reasons. Thus, reinforcing the problems of a maintenance department that is not run correctly or not supported. A typical maintenance department handles way more than needed repairs. One of the most important values of school maintenance gets neglected by contract services or a poorly run department is the preventative maintenance that adds life to your building and equipment; saves money in the long run. Many maintenance departments have the ability to do small scale construct and renovations that save money and add value to the department. Something else that’s important; it’s important to know who you have working around you kids. I could go on but I really don’t like long winded posts (I guess it’s too late for that)
