BloodRed

I found my new favorite place to hang out.

I hope it fails too. School districts need to learn that they need to be able to live within there own means. If you can only make 25 million a year from taxes, grants, etc, don't spend 30 million an expect the tax payers to foot the bill for the rest. Westerville 4th grade teacher lives right next door to me. She doesn't have her masters and makes over 60K a year. Her car is in her drive way when I leave for work at 7:30 am, and is sitting there when I get home at 5:30 pm. Doesn't work extra or anything. Oh yeah and was bragging about her big raises she has gotten over the last couple years, while companies around the city are either not giving raises and some even cutting wages. I am sorry, but I graduated from a High School where the only extra courses was French, Spanish, Art and Computer courses. That was only 11 years ago. Also we didn't have any of those "fancy" extracurricular activities. Football, basketball, baseball, track and that was it. If you want to have those extras and your kids want to participate in them, the parents are going to have to pay for them. Not everyone else that could care less about Westerville's Rowing team. Oh and look at all the other school districts that "threaten" they are going to have to cut all these sports because of a levy fail. Yet after it fails, some how they figure out how to keep them. Hilliard is a great, recent example of those actions.

Went for the weekend a few years ago. We stayed in St. Clairsville, Ohio and just drove over. Hotels were much nicer and cheaper in Ohio than over by the Casino. There is a Cabelas store just a short drive from that area too.

The Jacket's and Columbus have been trying to get a All-Star game or a Winter Classic for quite some time. NHL said, get your arena problems sorted out and build some more parking garages and higher end hotels near the arena. Only waiting on the final paperwork on the arena deal, parking garages are being built and the hotels are suppose to be open in September of 2012. Too bad the world will come to an end a month early...

Knowing Porty, he probably just read your post and then made it his article. I am a huge Jackets fan and proud ACA member. This was the first year that I purchased season tickets and well that seems to have been a mistake. I still enjoy going and hanging out with my friends and watching hockey, no matter the outcome. Of course some major changes need to be made. From upper management to the lockeroom. But this idea of a protest is not going to do a damn thing. You really think the management cares what the fans think? They are all on vacation this week as well as the team.

I know both the R Bar and 3 Legged Mare by Nationwide have it on tap. Pretty sure World of Beer does too.

I have a basic Truxedo soft tonneau cover on my 09 Ram. I only had to add a little extra foam pading to the end by the cab and the bed has stayed perfectly dry since I put it on almost 2 years ago. As long as you keep the cover on right, you can barely fit a hand between the top and rails when you pull up the velcro. You can't unlock the cover without putting down the tailgate, and my locking tailgate works to prevent that. Again of course if someone really wants to get into my bed, it would just take a knife to cut the top, but I love the fact that when I do need to use the bed of the truck, it just rolls up quickly and I can see out my rear window and have a full bed.

I have an 09 Ram that I love. I have drove my brother-in-law's 09 F150 with 5.4 and I don't think it even compares. He even agrees he should have went with the Ram. But opinions are like assholes, everyone has one and they all stink. Get out there and test drive both and go with which ever one you like best.

I love my 09 Ram 1500. Wouldn't even think twice about picking up another one. I have the 4x4 Crew cab, with short bed and HEMI. Got to love 390 hp from the factory. And honestly doesn't get that bad of gas mileage on the highway for a gasser. My best trip was from Ohio to TN, with 4 adults and 1 kid, bed loaded to the bed rails and got 23 mpg. Averaged about 75 mph the whole way.

Dealer will put the work out to a third party (Safelite, etc...)

Very nice. I would be in line for a diesel Dakota.

Yes they are small and compact, but pass. I was interested in them as well until I started reading the reviews on them. Never read a good thing about them.

Nice, now if more automakers actually bring over the diesel versions of their cars to the US. Esp in the small to mid-sized car market. Would solve some of those federal MPG requirements.

Edmonds is normally good, but the older the vehicle, the less likey that you will find the info you are looking for. Wikipedia normally is good too, but also can sometimes be very general. Another throught would be if you can find the make/model specific forum.

Man first Shanes' Rib Shack and now Hoggies.

If you are both residents of the State of Ohio, exchange the cash(etc...) for the guns. There are no requirements for private sale of guns as long as you both met the federal age requirements for long guns and pistols. If you want, write up a bill of sale with the model and serial numbers and have both of you sign it and keep a copy of it. I only really do that when I sell to people I don't know.

Heard an add on the radio the other day for it. Kind of surprised me that they were having one in Columbus. If the wife and I were not already soo busy next weekend, we might go, but still may end up going for some of it.

Jets sucks and is nothing like a Chicago style pizza. You want Chicago style pizza, you won't find any good ones here in Columbus other than when you go to the airport and catch a flight to Chicago

Yes I would. Why because it is F'n crazy to be able to say you really have done it.

Leave it rusted and busted or Rustoleum job.

We have one at work and have always used Dublin city tap water. Never had a problem.

Going to the Jackets vs. Caps game and then spending time with my friends in the RBar until the ball drops. Then home. On the 1st, some friends are coming over for dinner.

I have a Kata brand camera backpack and love it. Tons of room for the camera, lens, and supplies. Mine even holds my laptop and tripod.

Yeah if the price wasn't so high on the 2012 Wrangler 4-door, I would have one. But I would want more of a strip down model and build it the way I want.

I have been reading a "post-apocalyptic" series from S.M. Sterling called The Change series. Basically one day, across the word basically all modern advances stop working and the world is thrown back into an age before gun powder again. The 8th book in the series came out this year and the 9th is due out in 2012.
