  1. Hehe wife and I were both sun burned badly one time too.
  2. Yes I try to go to the Dayton Airshow every year, but usually end up remembering just after it is over.
  3. You could probably check the cloudynights.com forums to see if anyone on there is talking about the fireballs also. I'm not into meteor watching any more, but I used to use several radios on different AM frequencies of far away cities (depending on the direction I wanted to scan.) When you heard the station start to come in better you looked in that direction and usually could see the meteor that was causing the signal to bounce to you. Lots of fun.
  4. Sounds more and more like a fireball to me.
  5. Here's something that might be the cause http://www.amsmeteors.org/fireball/fireball_log2009.html Seems there were lots of fireball reports for last Wednesday. Bright one too. Magnitude -10 is the brightest full moon equivalent.

    Quitters

    Your taking this kinda hard considering a guy just quit one of the jobs considered the lowest job on the food chain and a job that should only be done temporarily.
  7. I had oak creek dental do one of mine (I'm a cheapskate and only one actually needed removed.) Also had a couple other teeth pulled at the same time. Wasn't to bad except I ended up with dry sockets which kinda hurt, but oh well.
  8. Thats because most can't time the market. Its very easy to tell when to put money in. The current economic climate is a perfect example of a time to buy. Its very hard to tell when to get out though. Human nature makes you want to keep going for the home run, but those are very rare. People make careers out of manipulating the markets and making amatures sell when they should buy and buy when they should sell. They are called "market makers" they are paid to make money for brokers, corps, and some others by creating hype, moving numbers around and messing things up in general (wouldn't be surprised if this practice gets banned in coming years.)
  9. You've lost nothing till you pull out your money. Only other case were you'd actually lose it is if most of the companies you had shares with went under, but the point of a 401k, mutual fund other things of this type is "diversification." Its built in and will work. The best part about continuing to invest is that your now putting your $20 or whatever per week towards much more shares of each company that the 401k is holding. This will mean much greater gains when things turn around. All things turn around just look at any chart even the 1930's depression turned around. If I had to give the market a time frame I'd give it +2 yrs before any real gains start to show up again, but 401k is to be pulled when your 65 maybe even older by the time we get there and its funny to see you guys in your 20's talking about dumping it. I hope its talk because that would be a huge mistake. Oh that and you'll take a pretty good tax hit if you do.
  10. My little Camry went all around for work today. Got over 200 miles in the fun little snow. Got home and it pushed its way down my 1800ft driveway through about 14-18 inches of snow and finally got stopped on the incline up to my house about 30 ft from its parking spot. I used the tractor to park it and then cleared the driveway. I'm looking forward to our march snow:-)

    Well....

    Ouch, this is why you don't do that stuff after your 16yrs old. I'd love to give a skate park a try, but I know exactly how it will end so I just watch the kids.

    Ghost

    So no pics of ghosts at Mansfield? Oh and your site mentions GeoMag. That has nothing to do with Solar Mass Ejections does it?
  13. I'll try to revive the thread. I think its interesting. As for the American Indians scale of advancedness (heheh bushism) they lived the same way for hundreds and for the most part thousands of years. Same with Africa, and Australia. South America got some neat stuff going though. In the case of a civilizations survival against other civilizations military technology can be very important. Thats the basic reason behind continuing to develop new tech. The Indians wouldn't have survived the same type of invasion by settlers from the bronze or iron age either. I'm not ragging on Indians and don't mean to sound like it. I'm descended from native americans myself. My brother got the looks though. He looks so native american its kinda funny.

    Oh shit....

    ^ I agree with him (note that on a calender.)
  15. We need to do some more CR photo shoots. I don't really have anything photo worthy, but I got camera gear and editing knowledge.
  16. Oh one other thing. If your into butterflies and flowers they have a really awesome butterfly conservatory on the Canadian side. Probably the most fun we had. We've been to a few here in the states and they suck compared to that one.
  17. On the first one it looks like there might have been 2 flashes outside the car? For some critique if you got a huge goofy speedo in the center of the pic you should even out those two shadows on its white face. Very cool pic though.
  18. Nice pics. Flash can cause that HDR look. Still wouldn't be any reason not to do a little HDR on those shots.
  19. Not gonna argue since it looks like you know some stuff. I think I'm more referring to earlier times. They basically didn't have to let us come here in the first place. I'm sure the natives were gonna walk over to the New England area and just push us back into the ocean. Sure the frontier was rough, but that was the frontier. Very large area to protect, very young country trying to do it. Not ideal circumstances for any invading army and basically perfect conditions for the defenders.
  20. ?? you cornfused me here. Wrong thread maybe?
  21. Thats pretty cool, but indians were run out by things like yellow fever and technologically superior people. If we go down due to immigration it will be our own fault.
  22. Nice I've always heard OSU's automotive programs are great.
  23. They are east of I-71 ramps in a shopping center on the north side of Polaris Pkwy.
  24. Look up "Mechanics Lien Law" You'll find everything you need. Even a state created standardized contract and letter for notice of legal action. Cliffs on the Mechanics Lien Law, Allows a means businesses to use legal action to collect payment for services rendered. Still not really anything you can do if they don't want to pay, but if they play that game the law allows you to make their live very miserable.
  25. Ain't been there, but just saw and will be going. So far my favorite is Cheese Burger in Paradise. Tried Red Robins recently and that burger wasn't worth McD's prices and the steak fries were worse.
