As a Saints fan this is...frustrating. Seems we no longer want to score any points at all. Not that we were scoring much anyway. This guy is fast and will make Darnold even better. Good for him I guess.

I wish they would make it more readily available then (not in study section materials and so far hard to find elsewhere). One workaround is to use an older template and update. Seems like a lot of folks are using notes or creating their own.

Good advice. I really wish they still had an offline template available that I could use to then copy paste transfer into the online portal.

Agree with this and even any coordination might cross that line even without meaning to. I think the best thing to do is review the proposals as best we can, submit by the deadline, and hope we can meet. At the worst, the reviews are already done and ready for when the meeting is reinstated.

I just got an email from CSR last night letting me know the situation and to try and review and prep as normal with the hopes of reopening and holding the meeting. It seems they are doing the best they can to try and inform people with the little communication allowed. On to my reviews!

I have a close colleague here who is standing member and was supposed to serve last week and it just...didn't happen. No notice. I think there can't be communication sadly.

I have one in early Nov and haven't been able to have orientation for the new review approach so I am not even sure if I should (or can) review at this point. What a mess and I am feeling terrible for the applicants.

It sure as hell got me to feed in more quarters though, as intended. The quick flash for stick direction lives in my nightmares.

That's cool. My dad has a vintage Vacheron Constantin that I hoping wills to me. I also love the Laco pilot watches (approx $400). For Swiss watches Tissot makes amazing reasonably affordable pieces (more than you want to spend but amazing). I love automatic watches so that is my bias.
