House Theme deals with Camping

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.us...er-season-21-theme-house-revealed-photos/amp/

There has only been 16 announced House Guest but yet the table has 20 placeholders. I’ve seen rumors that 4 vets would be brought back as “counselors”.


Will be hard to beat BB20 as that was probably my favorite season I’ve seen, but the cast looks.. interesting to say the least.

Upcoming Kansas City Trip

Hey Fanatics,

Spending long weekend (July 4th -8th) in Kansas City . We are staying about 10 minutes drive East Of River Market. I've been to KC many times so know most of the big stuff but still welcome some recommendations. The River Market and West Bottoms neighborhoods are fairly unknown to me.

1. Good place to see fireworks preferably with minimal hassle and crowds
2. Great food (live music is a plus)
3. Hidden tourist attractions
4. Good beer selection

Thanks!!!

NCAA reacts to california athlete compensation bill

California bill to allow student athletes to profit from their images has got NCAA threatening that Cali schools would be banned from champships. No surprise there from NCAA, hypocrites. Cali sponsors say intent is to force NCAA to update and bill isn't effective till 2023. Good that their status quo comfy zone is getting challenged. Hope the bill passes and that Texas follows suit.

NCAA president Mark Emmert suggested that if a California bill allowing in-state college athletes to be compensated passes, schools could potentially be barred from competing in NCAA championships, a letter sent to the chair of two State Assembly committees last week said.

A bill asserting that athletes at California schools could earn compensation for use of their own name, image or likeness, beginning in 2023, easily passed in the state Senate last month, 31–4.

NCAA be all, no WE own their likeness!

RECRUITING INSIDER: Some insight on the two 2020 QB commits/crazy week

Just been feeling around on this today...

No worries from the Bouman camp. If you saw, Aiden actually welcomed Dekkers on Twitter after it today's commitment. I'm told that Bouman was aware that ISU could add another QB if the right guy came along and was totally fine with it.

I think a big thing to consider here too is that they are different types of QBs and as Campbell has proven before (and I believe he will prove again this year), he's not afraid to play two guys who bring different things to the table.

Dekkers ran a 4.6 40 at ISU's camp and blew the coaches a way. A true dual-threat guy.

Also notable that Bouman will be a mid-year enrollee while Dekkers is a summer guy.

Some stuff for you all to chew on.

Oh and buckle up. I'm hearing that this is going to be a wild week for recruiting.

Stamp Collection - Advise on Selling One

I'm in possession of a stamp collection dating back to the early 1900's. Maybe some earlier. Probably.

Mostly stuff from the 30's 40's 50's 60's 70's 80's.

Lot of First Day issues. Some full Sheets. Some Block plates.

A total of 4 pretty good size boxes like you get paper in. Looks like lots of unsorted stuff too. Some foreign. A large number of United Nations stamps.

My knowledge of stamp collecting is so limited and I'm not going to do a lot of research. Wanting to get a decent price.

Anyone with experience selling stamps? Or know a private collector or stamp dealer that would buy at a fair price? Local to Eastern Iowa or Central Iowa preferred.

I know stamp collecting is not a popular pastime with interest falling greatly in the last 30 years or so. Just want to get them out of my house and get something close to a fair price. Which I'm at the mercy of somebody else to determine.

Honors Program

My daughter made her decision to become a Cyclone and couldn’t be more excited. Now she is deciding if she should join the Honors program. I go back and forth on if she will be better off being in the program or not. I have heard it is harder classes and the grading curve is harder since everyone is at a higher level. But there are good benefits of housing, smaller classes, and it looks good on resumes later in life. Any suggestions?

Children's educational programming

Anyone have some good recommendations? My son is 5 and he's not really interested in PBS educational cartoon anymore, however he still likes Octonauts. I'm a big fan of Octonauts due to the sealife educational slant in each episode.

He also enjoys chasing monsters(extreme fishing show) which isn't huge on the educational aspect, but he learns things and gets exposure to different countries and cultures. In general he likes to acquire information on animals/sealife/dinosaurs, and Octonauts/Chasing Monsters meets that need. For a while he was into Meerkat Manor but seemed to lose interest, which I was ok with. That show bores me.

He really likes RoboZuna, but its a cartoon about some sort of robot fighting competition, and its basically mindless entertainment which I'm not a fan of. Get off my lawn! :D

We have Netflix, Hulu, Prime, etc. Whadda ya got for us to check out?
