    Metal innovation = faster guitar players and deeper bass drums :roll:
  2. You can go to Columbus Public or OSU's Science-Engineering Library and see their collection of transit studies for Columbus.

    Nothing to add, I just wanted to move this post out of the middle of C-Dawg and CDM's Hip-hop piss off.

    If you two keep taking this discussion out of Ohio, I'm going to get the Lower Ninth Ward expatriates involved. :shoot:

    Better drummers down here. :-D
  8. Actually, it wasn't that bad in well-lighted outdoor situations. I just learned to be very steady, and I got a lot of very respectable slides from it. When I got caught without a tripod in less-than-optimal situations there were usually alternatives -- set the self-timer and put the camera on top of a trash can or fence post, or hold it against a wall or pole, or sometimes just sit on the ground and brace my elbows on my knees, etc. How much control did you have over the shutter speed (one length fits all, or as variable as with cameras today)? Well lit, fast shutter, no blurryness (and no depth :-()
  9. Ohio RNC head Bennett might get his wish. But not for the reasons he would like. :lol:
  10. Last I checked the NRA had pulled their conference from Columbus for St. Louis in 2007 because of Columbus's "progressive" laws on guns. Unless something has changed in the last 6 months.
  11. The more things change the more they stay the same. ODOT realigned Oh 315 and added the double traffic lights there in 1980 (Source: Delaware Gazette) I don't know why Stratford Rd needs to be realigned. It doesn't have the traffic problems, it's US 23 & Oh 315 (coming and going to Columbus) that have the problems. I also see City Council working here. They've been angling for another bypass for US 23 & US 36 for over a decade now. While rejecting this small project isn't quite "cutting off ones nose to spite their face." It is a gamble to try hardball to get what they want from ODOT. Let me nip this revisionist history in the bud. US 23 was still following Sandusky St. in the 1950s and even the early 60s The Bypass wasn't open till 1966 (this is from Stanford Rd/Oh 315 to Pennsylvania Ave) and there was only "pie in the sky" talk about rerouting traffic from Sandusky St prior to 1950. In fact, according to the Delaware Gazette, "City officials were concerned about traffic through the heart of the city endangering motorists and pedestrians and hampering business activity So either the writer or Tom Homan (the former certainly wasn't in Delaware back in the post war era) got some bad information. BTW, Delaware has also been angling for an full interchange for Pennsylvania Ave (on the northside of town) since 1985, at least. More lousy writing. Glenn Rd already exists from US 36 to Curve Rd on the far eastern fringes of Delaware (used to be surrounded by farmland till Krogers built a distribution facility out there 4 years ago). What is being discussed is an extension. evidently from US 23 (New Grady Hospital) to Cheshire Rd (Golf Course). I guess Glenn Rd has already been extended south from Curve Rd to Cheshire (I don't recall see anything that way when I was in Delaware over Christmas) If it wasn't for the fact it costs .36 per issue ($114 a year) to see the Delaware Gazette online (http://www.delgazette.com/), I would recommend using them instead of the Dispatch weekly paper.

    If the Cavs don't win the NBA title this year, then praisefest was a fraud. :evil:

    Actually it hit the MidSouth first. I have friends in Memphis that got hit on Friday. It completely shut the region down. Even the few friends I have in Atlanta say, on saturday/early sunday, they got off and on light snow showers as the temperatures dipped to about 30 The cold front with that storm barreled through Louisiana that night with some serious storms (but no tornados in New Orleans this time, thankfully)

    You mean Tony's Creole Seasoning is used elsewhere than Louisiana?!?
  15. 1/2 a million for a model? :-o (I take it someone has been keeping that model up to date? The twin towers of the WTC weren't around in '64 were they?)

    You forgot.... Play guitar in a 12 bar, AAB verse formation.
  17. You'd be amazed at the signed books you can find at the bi-annual OSU book sale (though, those signed books cost $10-20 each, vs the unsigned masses which can be bought at $2 a bag full.)

    And I constantly see all the Suburban Baton Rougeans jump up and down demanding these trailor park homes stay out of their neighborhoods. :-(
  19. Type in Gulyas (not Magyar) on the online program and you should find me.
  20. WOSU producing it's own TV show (besides "In the Know)?! :-o I didn't know they had it in them.
  21. Make sure to wake up extra early on Friday morning to hear me compare Memphis and Jackson, Ms (I go on at 8:20 AM)
  22. Something that I've started playing with on Photoshop 6 is the word art features. I found myself easily amused by the colors I was able to put on the words in this latest piece I finished tonight.
  23. Or on this picture I took You might be able to see my edit job concerning some of the wires.
  24. If you are using Photoshop you can use the stamp function and cover them up with nearby pixels.

    Jon Saunders is Canadian. So that should explain 2/3s of the Toronto jacket
