Whatever is on 105.9 WNKU. Holy cow @ the great mix they have! Major props to the station, even if it is in Kentucky. :)

Well, it's either him or Blackmon, IMO. Blackmon showed #1-type speed in shorts and can obviously catch, but I don't think the Big XII plays defense well and there's where I can agree with you about RGIII; if he fell to them @ 4, great but don't mortgage the house for a Big XII QB.

Funny that Temple is out of the MAC and UMASS is in and last night UMASS beat Temple on the basketball court. Is UMASS in for Bball or just football?

Are the Browns allowed to get good players? I know they will draft Trent Richardson and he will be a bust. They should at least try to get a #1 wideout, I have no idea who that would be but they need someone.

This is kind of cool, saw it yesterday on rustwire.com: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/934674631/sustainable-neighborhood-fish-farm-for-idora I wonder if this could work elsewhere?

Don't forget to set your clocks, both internal and external, ahead one hour today.

Not 100% certain I understand but here goes: I say "Ont" for aunt to sound fancy I basically like mainstream rock music because it's just easier I once ordered Dewarr's scotch calling it Dew-Wars (as in "stars") I only like watching Sci-fi and hockey on Tv anymore I have a bigger car than I need Bonus: i recycle more than I throw away only because our recycle bin is bigger than our trash bin

I'm not one to think athletes can really do anything substantial for a city, but Cleveland fans have a legit "how could he do this to us" coming if James leaves. The thing is, they aren't making any moves in the FA market themselves to help him out, so WTF?

Listening to some old "jam" stuff lately, the Band, the Allmans. I want to go to our place in PA and record my kids, brothers and sisters doing a kind of "mountain jam" w/bongos and whatever we got that doesn't plug in. Could be epic.

The business world is for people who can't deal w/home life. :lol:

Good article that well describes the Catch-22 of clean energy in the Rust Belt. I don't know enough about the debate to comment intelligently on it, but it seems like a problem of culture as much as technology or economics. We don't hear enough about small manufacturers acting w/environmental awareness in these parts and hear all the time about "big steel" and "big autos" and their pollutive (my own word!) ways.

What's to do in a small town when it rains and you don't want to drink yourself into oblivion?

I saw that thread earlier. I have to look at viability as some kind of well-paying, secure, manufacturing position. The area's mentality, and I don't blame them, seems to be that it won't be "back" until there is a huge manufacturing facility operating there w/regularity. But, the area has been down so long that coming back won't be a problem in a while, no one will be alive who remembers what it was to be "back." I find it quite odd that there are more jobs there now while the obvious decline rolls on. What are people doing? There can only be so much you need @ wal-mart. What are the other big employers now? Please forgive me, I left the area in '92, and while my family is still there, I haven't paid much attention.

Is there any viable business left in youngstown/warren? Is the GM plant safe?

Just to second or third the thoughts offered on Mill Creek Park and the north side. If you are interested, you can absolutely steal a beautiful home on 5th avenue. I remember driving from Warren to YSU that way every and gawking at the gorgeous cribs. I've only been to MCP like three times but it was worth it every time, a great park. Also, if the movers in question want something a little more suburby with good schools, Poland has come a long way. Don't hate me if you hate Poland, just saying it's nice and should have good schools, but I don't know if it does because it's been like 15 years since I've lived around the area.

I've gone to Middletown for the sole (soul?) purpose of going to Miami's branch there. Not being from the city I found the downtown frustrating to navigate, maybe a change in traffic patterns would help some of the businesses? I'm certain people way smarter than me have thought about this and decided that the current pattern is best. Meanwhile, AK is opening a new coke furnace much to the consternation of Monroe which will get the beneficiary pollution. Sigh. Ya can't win.

NFL Championships>Super Bowls. :)

While looking for a new couch for our basement we went to Value City. I thought it would be all white trashy or ghetto, but actually we were pleasantly surprised by the quality for the dollar we spent. We had gone to Ikea (crap but cheap) and Crate & Barrel (not crap but overpriced) earlier and VC seemed to offer the best product for the money. Delivery was a little outlandish (100 bucks? No, thx. So, we supported the home team and seem to have gotten a good deal. Word to Value City. :lol:

Your anti-pattern reads like a place I visited this weekend, Ikea. LOL @ anyone buying that crap and thinking they got some kind of deal. Just spend more for something you won't have to replace in three months. Flea markets are supposed to sell crap, that's why they are flea markets. Now, if you're looking for bargains, go to yard sales in spring. We're having one featuring some baby stuff and assorted crap. I would be glad to take your money. :)

Excellent! But really it isn't much closer to me than Dayton. In fact, nothing is close to Oxford. :(

I freaking love Cheeze-it.

LOL @ Carnegie giving cities libraries after his company literally works people to death and refuses to pay them for it. But, hey, here's some books, thx!

LOL @ any Cincinnati fan thinking playoffs. Not until you retool both offensive and defensive lines, Who-Dey. Anyway, DiStillers should have their way w/St. Louis (LOL), but it would be great to see Warner win another. Bible-thumping aside, dude can slang it.

Sorry about the misplacement. It's freaking 21-6 as I write, a tough row for McNabb to hoe. Pittsburgh should be your champions, I like Ben (I'm @ Miami writing this) but really Steeler fan is about as annoying as Bosox fan. Bandwagon.
