Lol nope shes my little sister

I feel like I know you from somewhere. Didn't I see you stumbling into Johnstone/Fulton 25 or 30 years ago.

Also Seven Days is the local weekly. They will have a calendar of events and also a section called Seven Nights that offers restaurant ratings. And I forgot to mention Pho Hong is another good cheap place to eat.

Hey I work in Burlington and live in the area. I figure people are planning their trips and I'm happy to offer any info I have. LODGING: The state houses homeless people and families in some of the cheaper hotels in the area. It may pay to pay a bit more. If money isn't an object I would stay on the water front/downtown area. The Hilton, Hotel Burlington, and the Courtyard Burlington Harbor will put you right down town. Church Street is Burlington's local restaurant/shopping pedestrian area. Those hotels will put you within walking distance. It is also where the night life lives GETTING AROUND: Pedestrians have no fear of cars. Expect narrow streets, aggressive cyclists, skate boarders and people just walking out into traffic in the core areas of town. Also there is no "going around the block" That being said it's not aggressive like Boston. You just have to go slow and expect surprises. It is a town built on a hill and the crawl from the waterfront to the University is a haul. Monday through Friday the College Street Shuttle runs from Union Station near the waterfront through Church Street and to the campus. It is free. It does not run on Saturday or Sunday after Columbus day. The bus service beyond that goes to places you may want to go but it will likely be full and possibly late. If you are going down town you will have to pay to park. The area down town has several parking garages. Parking in the main area of town will take credit cards. It is more expensive. Away from the core you will need quarters. Burlington has a lot of commuters. During the week you can expect rush hour from 7:30 to 9ish and 4pm to 6ish. It is slow going but does not extend very far. I’ve never used Uber here but it exists. Cabs can be flagged downtown or called for. I use Green Cab on occasion. Call ahead if you have a firm deadline. You may wait for a bit for them to arrive. Towns touch each other so it is entirely possible to be in a new town without noticing. Street names will change at town borders. For example Main Street in Burlington turns into Williston Rd in South Burlington. That one may well impact you as it is main drag. FOOD: Burlington and the surrounding areas have A LOT of food options. If you have any questions about a particular restaurant I’m happy to answer if I know. Some of my favorites (many of these are not right down town) Tiny Thai in Winooski. It is a very affordable, popular place. BYOB with no corkage fee. There are also a number of bars and restaurants right in the area. It is on an abomination of a traffic circle. Whoever designed it will surely spend some time some place very warm. That being said; once you cross the bridge and enter the circle take the very first right. There is a garage to the left. Misery Loves Co is in the area as well. The food is good and the beer is varied but the hipster population is high. The Davis Center on Campus has a food court. I can suggest the Thai Chicken wrap at New World Tortilla. I’m sure other things are good but it’s what I eat there. There is also a Pine street location. Ben and Jerry’s on Church street is a given (although not the original site) Church Tavern serves good bar food. Vermont Pub and Brew is on a side street and is also good. They also brew their own beer. American Flat Bread Pizza is near there and they serve upscale thin crust Pizza from a wood oven. If I were going to order Pizza I would order Leonardo’s. Another suggestion would be A Single Pebble. Upscale Chinese served family style. You order as a group and things are brought as they are cooked. If the whole party is willing they do a tasting menu that is fun and delicious. The dry fried green beans and mock eel are local faves. If you just want a plain old salad bar and steak I would do the Windjammer on Williston RD. For a quick sandwich and a view Burlington Bay has a glass wall that looks out over the lake. There are also some very high end places. It’s hard to go wrong with most of them. Hen of the Woods is a top suggestion. Khakis and a polo or dress shirt will take you almost anywhere in town. It is a dressed down area. ALCOHOL: Beer and wine available in grocery stores. Hard liquor is available at state stores only. The nearest one to down town is Pearl Street Beverage. There is also a small location at Burlington Bay near the water. Vermont doesn’t do happy hour. You can also only have one drink at a time. Don't bother with pitchers of beer. They are required to be about 2.5 pints. There are so many local beers to make you happy. Many of them offer tours. Switchback is my fave. The Other Place or OP is my favorite dirty bar. Nectar’s was the starting local for Phish if you are into that. They also do a trivia event on Thursdays. Breweries:Zero Gravity Craft Brewery / American Flatbread - 115 Saint Paul St, BurlingtonSwitchback Brewing Company - 160 Flynn Ave, BurlingtonThe Vermont Pub & Brewery - 144 College St, BurlingtonMagic Hat Brewing Company - 5 Bartlett Bay Rd, South BurlingtonFour Quarters Brewing Co. - 150 W Canal St, WinooskiThe Traveler Beer Co. - 431 Pine St, BurlingtonQueen City Brewery - 703 Pine St, BurlingtonSimple Roots Brewing Company - Not Open To The Public, BurlingtonThe Just Beer Project - 209 Battery St, BurlingtonThree Needs Brewery & Taproom - 185 Pearl St, BurlingtonInfinity Brewing Co. - 80 Ethan Allan Dr, South Burlington ETC: If the weather is nice (and that could go either way) there is a water front bike path that makes for beautiful walks and views. Foliage will likely be passed. If any remains I would take a drive through the Champlain Islands. Cider doughnuts at Hackett’s orchard and a meal at the Blue Paddle Bistro would be good. You can park outside the gates of state parks and walk the paths in the off seasons. Grand Isle State park would be good choice. In other directions; a car loop through Smugglers Notch is a good way to see the country side. The Shelburne Museum is world class and full of old buggies, tools, quilts, train cars, guns, etc as well as fancy pants art. It is really worth the trip. If you are out in Shelburne parking at the base of Mount Philo and walking up the road will net you a panoramic view of the Champlain Valley. Montreal from Burlington would be about the same as going to Winnipeg from the Forks. They mean the French speaking thing. Don’t expect them to have English road signs. Pont is bridge. That might save you some of my past misery. Sadly, Burlington is not really a hockey town. Residents aren’t going to know about our program or most likely their own with few exceptions. The Gutterson field house is on the out skirts of the campus. There will be no beer there. TL:DR If you have questions about Burlington I’ll be glad to try to answer them. ,

Well call me a Flickertail and hang me the banner

This also assumes that grades/transcripts/scores are the only thing considered when med schools take students. You can ace your MCAT and have a perfect transcript and still be a horrible MD if you don't listen to your patients when they talk. All the book "learnin" in the world won't help if you ignore what people report because you know what's wrong with them just because they are a woman, or a mexican, a fat person, a poor person etc. Or if you won't return your patient calls, or sign your notes because you are lazy or just not that into your job. There are many things that go into making a good Doc. Further we all know that being connected can help grease the wheels for students. Programs like INMEd just help level the nepotism factor.

Never mind. Not worth my time or effort.

Because we needed more consonants?

This means I am going to have to negotiate with my husband for both the laptop and the biggest tv. The amount of marital capital I am going to have to expend is staggering. Sigh.

http://www.quinnipiacbobcats.tv/ If you want a peek at Quinnipiac you can catch a free stream here in a few weeks.

And I have no problem with them reaping the consequences of their actions.I don't think the punishments seem out of line. I don't think they made good sound choices for sure. I just think they were not extraordinary in their wrongness. And I don't think it means they are a bankrupt group of young men who are teetering on the edge of failed lives. Do dumb risky stuff and pay the price it happens.

They had the same alcohol awareness programs in the halls that they have now. (I guess I shouldn't say that. I have no idea what they do now. But the info was presented on the floors.)

And this is what I meant by "THE WORST THING EVER". If you don't agree you are clearly bloodless and horrible.

Because the act of transporting someone to the ED merely says this person should be looked at. IF they admitted him(for something beyond observation) , or pumped his stomach, or he seized etc (facts that are not in evidence anywhere I've seen) then I'd be more on the horrified end of things. A trip to the ED is no evidence of life threatening. In your entire life you've never passed out or had a friend do so? I'm not saying it's good. I have no problem with the punishment. But I'm not going to act like college kids don't pass out all the time. I live in a college town. If I were to be horrified by the thought of a kid passing out after being drunk I'd never sleep again. Further, I have in my misspent youth passed out. I'm not enough of a hypocrite to start wringing my hands because someone else did so too.

I remain unhorrified. YMMV

I guess this is what I imagined so I am not any more horrified. I don't have any problem with punishment being meted out. I have no problem with what the RA did. It's a judgement call and better to come down on the side of caution. But in all honesty I've been to parties that ended the same way. A fair amount of college parties end the same way. Passed out people don't generally talk to you. So like I said I have no problem with them getting their pee pees smacked, but to I think acting like this is "THE WORST THING EVER" and "THE SIGN OF THE END OF DECENT YOUTH FOREVER" is over kill. I saw similar things after bucks in the 80's. As far as being transported; people get sent to the ED all the time for things that don't end up to be life threatening. It's where they evaluate you. Just being there does not put you on deaths door.

Unless more information emerges it looks like there are major difference. Latullipe met with coaches ahead the the "Big Night", he sued the university, and as far as that goes recanted some of his story. Also I can tell you that Vermont ain't ND when it comes to culture; not on campus and not in the community. Not sure it's a fair comparison.

The Fighting Frackers...for the joy of waiting for announcers to mess up.

A lot can happen, but contracts don't just change even in 18 months. They might have better streaming options, but that is where the options lie. Or I guess CBS could decide to pick up more of our games.

I just don't understand why we ceded so much with no visible gain. Perhaps there is more to the picture that I can't see, but it feels like our negotiation skills were lacking. If I understood why it had to go down this way it would tast less like a turd sandwich.

But the right to free speech doesn't mean that you will be free from people who disagree with you or criticize you. If someone puts ideas I find dangerous into the public sphere I think I have the right/duty to present an opposing idea. I think the idea that women are responsible for keeping men's sexuality in check is a dangerous one. Isn't that really the underlying rational for the repressive dress of the burka? It's a matter of degrees but I hear the same underlying message "Women should be ashamed of their bodies and the effect that they have on men. Only the man that is in charge of you has the right to see his property." Women have the right to own their bodies and to be sexual creatures. Some may make really bad choices and pay the consequences. But as self willed people they have the right to those choices. I will also say that I don't think premarital sex is a horrible choice that leads to a broken unfulfilled women. Having premarital sex without knowing what you want out of it certainly can. When he is a Pastor he will be preaching to people who want to share the same path he is trying to walk. People have the absolute right to choose that path. Counseling them on the best way to achieve that is one thing. Not everyone wants to walk that path and you are likely to get push back when you advocate that everyone hop on board. I don't think I would have had a word to say if he had addressed his tweets to his fellow believers as opposed to the world at large. Thanks for the conversation. I'll leave it at opinions differ and Go Sioux before we shred the poor dead horse to pieces.

I don't have a problem with people who have a set of values they live within. I don't have a problem with him voicing his beliefs. But inherent in his statements is that others should conform to his beliefs or they are bad people and are harming others. That frequently leads to "We should do something about them." It's that part of the equation that concerns me. I don't think he's going to march around campus with burkas or turtle necks. I also don't think women need to cover themselves to help him conform to his own religious beliefs. That's a demon he needs to face by himself. I also think when a public figure makes controversial statements people are going to talk about it.

And that's about where it ends for some people. If you don't toe the line we'll call you ugly cuz you know your only value to society is how you look. That ought to shut you up and make you feel bad about yourself. You keep up the sound arguments sweetie.. I'll just sit here chastened and admire your big, big brain.

I don't think feminism advocates androgyny. It merely says that every adult has a right to self determination. And by that I mean, just cuz you've got danglies you're not the boss of me. There isn't one right way to be male or female and society shouldn't pick an archtype and try to make everyone conform to that image. And anecdotes don't equal data. Was happy single, am happy married did it all as a card carrying feminist. Don't even have to ask my hubby if I can travel for the games. Ain't it a grand world.

I long ago got over the idea that I will agree with everyone on a sports team. Everyone has a right to say what they want. However, Grimaldi is obviously putting this out there. It's open tweet not closed. I don't see any thing wrong with responding to a publicly stated idea in a public form discussing the issue. Ideas have consequence. If I disagree with one I think it's good to present the opposing view. If not the idea; stands unchallenged and it looks like everyone believes the same things. In this instance I reject the idea that others have the right to dictate what women should wear. Societies that try to strictly control female sexuality end up deeply messed up. I also reject that the male gender should be in charge. I think his ideas are harmful. That being said his job here is to play hockey and none of that will stop me from watching the Sioux play hockey. I just think he's wrong.
