    Good places for lunch in Urbandale area?

    terry - I moved to Grimes last year and still haven't been, but I have heard nothing but good things and that I "have to go". Want to take my wife who is vegetarian - any recommendations on the menu?

    Good places for lunch in Urbandale area?

    I actually tried Ruby Tuesday's recently, not expecting much, but it was pretty good. I don't usually like chains (this is a bit like an applebee's if you've never been) but this was different enough to seem new and the price was very reasonable. other than that my favorite locals are, Taki...

    High school fball coach fired because of photos sent to girlfriend

    In a legal sense, there is no definition of public, there is only an expectation of privacy (or lack of expectation of privacy). At the time he sent the message his expectation of privacy was diminished because he had no control over what his girlfriend would do with it. Have you ever noticed...

    High school fball coach fired because of photos sent to girlfriend

    It became "News" when he got fired. It became public the second her mother found it. Once information extends beyond who the sender intended to see it, it is no longer private. While I don't agree with his behavior, the content of the message isn't really his biggest mistake here. His...

    High school fball coach fired because of photos sent to girlfriend

    You and everyone on here knows about it = Public The fact that he intended this to be private does not make it so. I'm sure Tiger Woods intended his affairs to be private.

    The ones that allow those things about themselves to become public, yes, they should expect discipline/termination.

    High school fball coach fired because of photos sent to girlfriend

    This. If you don't want your employer to judge you on your behavior outside of work, better make SURE they can't find out about it. His rights have not been violated in the slightest because his employment is not a right. The only invasion of privacy that has occurred here is the mother's...

    High school fball coach fired because of photos sent to girlfriend

    A person's conduct outside of work is absolutely cause for termination if it represents the company in a negative light or does not fit with the value system of the company. People are confusing his right to behave this way (which he has) with a non-existent right to be employed. Public...

    High school fball coach fired because of photos sent to girlfriend

    If his contract creates an at will employment status for the first three years, the guy will have no standing in court. Personally, if my 17 year old went to his school and I heard about this, I'd want him gone too. He did nothing illegal, but I hold teachers to a higher standard of behavior...

    Passenger Van Rentals

    I rented a 15 passenger van from Dewey ford and thought it was great. Very clean, was ready when I was scheduled to pick up, no hidden charges, pretty smooth process. My wife tried a small place on the southside, I think A to Z, but not sure, for a van for a bachelorette party, and it was...

    Matt Perrault

    Matt has a great track record of speaking directly out of his ***. Someone check me on this, but where was Michael Jordan a COACH? I know he has held different levels of front office jobs in the NBA, but I don't ever remember him being named a coach. Matt also said that it didn't work for...
