  1. Yasser, love the last one, but I'd clone out the line running from that bright spot down at an angle to the right. The third to the last one is also really cool. BTW everyone should number pics. much easier to say which ones you like.

    School Levys

    This sounds just about perfect.

    School Levys

    Well this levy is for "NEW SCHOOLS" not expenses. The current schools are 35yrs old. Pretty new considering what a lot of the states schools are like (I know, I'm in schools all over the state daily.)

    I know what your saying, but to the schools they will stop when they get a YES. The people have no known recourse. "I guess there might be some means of appeals, but I bet that takes some doing."

    I used to think "only property owners" too, but renters do pay the same tax, they just pay it in rent which is then applied to the cost of operating the apartment/house so they get to vote too. Just think how old the current system is. It pretty much goes back to one room school houses at the township level well before income taxes even exsisted. The system is bigger now, much bigger and it answers to rules and requirements from the top of the executive branch of the federal government. Whole thing really needs corrected, but who's gonna do it.

    LOL my kids won't be going to any public school anyway, but thats not the point. I just think that the rule "No taxation without representation" isn't being applied in this case. The people have "represented" 4 times and are being ignored and that to me can't be legal.

    I thought I'd tell yal about the school district in which my parents live. Warren school district near Marietta, OH wants money and keeps spamming special elections trying to get one passed so far in the last 12 months they've held 4 elections and been voted NO each time. They will be having a 5th soon because the people voted no last Tuesday. To me this has to be wrong in some way. I mean what good is a vote if the schools can simply ignore it and hold another election. I also bet that if they get a YES the "NO" voters can't just hold elections every 3-4 months until they get the "NO" they are waiting for.
  8. I hate doing it, but to me its cheaper to do it myself because I don't have time to wait to get into a shop. I also know its been done right. My wife can easily take hers in since its next to her work.
  9. yeah I'm done with the half acre pond in my back yard. Though showing my daughter all the frogs and various other critters is kinda fun.
  10. Also I did two treatments of marvel mystery oil + STP super concentrated gas treatment in mine and it did make a notable difference in performance. Though I'm at 170K and I bet no ones ever tried cleaning the injectors like that. I also sea foam the crap out of all my vehicles oil every few months and it keeps the oil nice and clean. Mine is my DD and it sees +1000miles per week though. The fuel pump is also something that goes out, but more often its an o-ring on the fuel pump assembly that fails and causes backflow into the tank which causes the side effect of lower fuel pressure. If you run into the problem of having to try to start it more than once to get it going that is an indication of the problem.
  11. Does it slow down, stay the same, or what. The GC's don't like to downshift much while going between say 15-40mph and not a lot can be done to fix this from what I've read. You can always use the shift lever though. If the throttle position sensor hasn't ever been changed it could be bad, I replaced mine to fix some intermittent fast idle conditions. Also the trans gov pressure sensor, gov pressure solenoid, and O/D / TC lockup solenoids are easy to change and go bad. I've changed them all in mine and it works much better. Tip don't bother trying to change the harness that comes with the O/D / TC solenoid assembly, you'll spend another hour and decide to just reuse the old one thats halfway built into the transmission.
  12. The times they've open my own or my families luggage they just cut the locks and put a tag on it.
  13. Needs more height otherwise cool enough I guess. I don't really like the direction jeeps been heading, but I guess you can only do so much once you start needing to meet mileage standards and rollover/safety requirements.
  14. If an identifiable person in the photo objects to their photo being taken then that is a violation of privacy rights period. But that is how it applies to a photographer. Not sure that it would apply to a coworker during business.
  15. Mine just blow around my yard in true morrow county fashion until trash day. Or they just lay in the ditch at the end if our driveway

    If you get something that nice make sure the photographer can get you some cool photos with it. Hopefully you'll have some time allowed for it.

    Limo Rental

    Here's a site with a few http://www.columbusbrideandgroom.com/transport.htm Wish I could remember the names of some of the companies I've seen around with Rolls Royce and other unique limos. Better find out what your using the limo for. If its just a trip around the block then I'd get something real classy for you and your bride. If its a trip downtown for photos with the whole wedding party then you need to know that and get the right car/bus. May 1st at Tuttle Mall there will be a Bridal show that I'm attending. They may have a limo service at the show to check out if you still haven't found anything by then.

    Ive been meaning to go. I keep forgetting though.
  19. Its cool how some days you see about all Canons and other days you see lots of Nikons, then there's the Sony crew. Yeah mine was a 5DMKII + 70-200mm L F2.8 lens. I cropped to my liking and applied a slight unsharpmask to counter the effect of the glass at the exihibit giving a slightly lower contrast image.
  20. I love those tiger shots. What lens? It handled the brightness of the polar bears fringes great.

    win 7 help

    I tried the built in repair and the built in wipe, I'd say it was a virus in the MBR or somewhere else those programs didn't fix because an install from a CD seems to have fixed the issue. Thanks guys.
  22. we use a RC cruise line card. In a years time we can get most of a family cruise free. And an airline card.
  23. Yeah membership is worth not having to wait in line for ever. Sunday the parking lot was full and we were able to walk right up to the gate and get in. I was helping my wife learn more advanced camera settings so I didn't take a lot of photos, just that one of the polar bear and a few of the kids. Wife was snaping away like a bandit though and got some from the underwater viewing area.
