It should be pointed out that when at sea, a flag can be flown higher than the US flag to signal that a religous ceremony is underway on-board. Upon conclusion, the flags should be returned to their proper height.

As for Sly's thinking the Texas flag is somehow special, let that serve as a warning to the rest of the board: Stay away from the orange Kool Aid, it'll make thee drunker than a sailor in a whore house and higher than Dorothy in a poppy field.

The reality is that the flag code for civilian organizations only requires voluntary compliance and you can fly the flag how you wish.

[Sly Fox]

This is true, YR. Tradition predates the Flag Code that everyone is referencing.

That's correct. But just because you can, doesn't mean that you should.

[flamehunter]

Yeah, don't try to exercise that free speech thing while using our flag, for pete's sake.

[ballcoach15]

With the direction our country is taking, I am surprised flag regulations and protocol are still in existence.

I was on campus today and saw the new roundabout, which is nearing completion: it's a round piece of concrete with a yellow stripe around it. I was told that a big LU logo will go on top of the roundabout.

They are also doing a lot of landscaping around the new science building, which really dresses up the place.

[JakeP50]

Which is good because all that dirt/mud took away from the beauty of the science hall.

Liberty’s new student center, which is scheduled to open next fall, will also offer six new dining venues, including Garbanzo’s (Mediterranean), Star Ginger (Asian), UFood Grill (hamburgers), The Grid Marketplace (a convenience store concept), Woodfire Pizza, and Argo Tea, which will be the first teahouse on campus

Other new options include an Auntie Anne’s Pretzels and a Pizza Hut WingStreet in the Jerry Falwell Library. The Tilley Student Center will offer Farmer’s Field, a made-to-order salad concept with fresh protein toppings, including salmon, shrimp, steak, and chicken. Additionally, there will be a “smash burger” station in the Reber-Thomas Dining Hall where students, faculty, and staff can have fresh beef prepared as they watch.

I wish LU would put more of these new projects on Construction Web Cam.

I believe Medic is the man who can get that accomplished.

[PAmedic]

I asked nicely but no one listened. And I'm still butt-hurt that they took the LaHaye cams down

As we speak, I am scouring the interwebs for pics taken by others. They're out there.

new clinic on Wards Road: excellent idea, long overdue

(again thx N&A, Max Oden)

More than 200 people showed up Tuesday to tour part of Liberty Mountain Medical Group’s new full-service primary-care clinic on Wards Road. The clinic, which can handle an estimated 180 patients daily, is the result of a partnership between the Liberty University College of Osteopathic Medicine and Central Virginia Family Physicians.

“One of the things that this clinic, this building represents is tangible proof, physical proof, of the commitment Liberty University has to improve the lives and the quality of life in Lynchburg by increasing access to services for people,” Dr. Ronnie Martin, dean of the Liberty University College of Osteopathic Medicine said prior to Tuesday’s ribbon cutting.

WOW

for the under 30 crowd- realize NONE of this was there when some of us were on campus

thx @LUADjeff

[SuperJon]

I was there five years ago and none of this stuff was there.

[PAmedic]

Crazy.

I watched Vines being built but never saw a game there as a student.

[ATrain]

thx @LUADjeff

I'm still under 30 and none of this was there.

[thepostman]

I'm trying to compare this to the picture in my head of how it use to be, it is hard to believe it is the same place. I has been 7 years since i have stepped foot on that campus.

[Humble_Opinion]

And just think... < 2 yrs from now, that same picture will have a finished extension behind DeMoss, plus the tallest building in Lynchburg. Crazy.

[adam42381]

We drove around campus when we were up there last month and there were several instances where the wife and I couldn't figure out where we were on campus. We were last in Lynchburg in 2009 and it's crazy how much has changed. My biggest surprise was that Dorm 7 is still standing - it's now a female dorm.

I was on 7-1. I loved the homecoming float a few years ago when the students made the float a collapsing building.

So. Freaking. Funny.

[thepostman]

I love the fact that the dorm that nearly fell off the earth is,one of the last circle dorms remaining.

[jack_sparrow81]

They must have brought a hazmat crew in when they switched it over from a male dorm to a female dorm. I remember it from when I was on dorm 5
