With the football season in full swing, some MU football games are televised only on pay-for-view TV. Here
on the tiger sports blog was a link to the blog that gave play by play of that last game which was shown only on pay-for-view:

The direct link to the blog:

We do not know if this same url will work for every game, but it is worth having in case it does. The last game’s play by play is still online here. When the blog comes up on your screen, click on the space below and outside the square box.

A checklist for everything. I thought this specific checklist would be of special interest with school starting later this month.
This is one-stop place for all local election information: http://www.showmeboone.com/clerk/
For those of you looking for extra money, there is information on how to become a poll worker: http://www.sos.mo.gov/elections/
This is a “one-stop source for practical education on almost anything.” Of special interest is the “Tip of the week” section which includes health, gardening, and food articles. Many of these articles are available online. Another area of special interest is the “Free e-newsletters” section with all the previous issues archived online for easy access.
