I do love the new mac commercials :-D esp when the bill gates looking guys just falls over (crashes)

check out the newest version of open office, it doesnt have those bugs and aslong as you set the defaults to save in the same file format that microsoft uses you will be fine creating documents that can be opened up with microsofts version.

I was talking about a desktop

You should check out the new sles linux desktop 10.1, its the best linux os I have seen yet. once you install it you will have everything you need. If you get the novell edition then they have a tweeked version of Open Office thats IMHO is better the Microsoft Office.

what type of monitor is it a crt / or flat panel? if its a crt(big ass monitor) then you can screw with it and maybe fix it if its a flat panle and the lcd are going bad i dont think their is anything you can do, but if you pm me you could build a computer and get a monitor that would last for a couple years with no problems. the key is building the thing yourself and getting good componites on every level but this can usally be done on the cheep, esp if you can get software from uc bookstore. for 1k you could build the equivilant computer of a dell that would cost you about 3k.

I think you have the right ideal, every game i have been to this year has been a blow out loss

If we really wanted to figure out this guys salary couldn't we do it, because he is state employee and that should be public record?

I guess rising interest rates/construction cost might put a damper on some development plans around the area.

^ but its actually more expensive to install the things that the zoo installed In an effort to be more conservative with natural resources.

"And despite the zoo's water being provided free by the city of Cincinnati, it installed waterless urinals and used low-flow plumbing fixtures to send the message of conservation to the public." Bravo :clap: :clap:

not to get to way off topic, but why isn't military/shipping/political cost included in the total energy required to procure oil/gas. since energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it seams as if who ever wants to make an argument eather way about the cheapest energy source just has to frame the discusion accordingly.

I had to do some cipherin' to answer your question. I looked that heating value up in a text, and found more info on the wiki site for E85... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E85 I'm guessing the 15% gasoline in E85 closes the gap in energy difference from 60% to the 72% that is referrence here. But the moral of the story remains...I would only buy E85 if the price was more than 25% below the price of regular gasoline. For those interested in putting it in non fuel flexible vehicles, there is more info on the wiki site for you. but it depends what you are driving.. if you drive a WRX then it make some sense to switch. "Fuel economy does not drop as much as might be expected in turbocharged engines based on the specific energy content of E85 compared to gasoline, in contrast to the previously-reported reduction of 23.7% reduction in a 60:40 blend of gasoline to E85 for one non-turbocharged, fuel-injected, non-FFV. The reason for this non-intuitive difference is that the turbocharged engine seems especially well-suited for operation on E85, for it in effect has a variable compression ratio capability, which is exactly what is needed to accommodate varying ethanol and gasoline ratios that occur in practice in an FFV. At light load cruise, the turbocharged engine operates as a low compression engine. Under high load and high manifold boost pressures, such as accelerating to pass or merge onto a highway, it makes full use of the higher octane of E85. It appears that due to the better ignition timing and better engine performance on a fuel of 100 octane, the driver spends less time at high throttle openings, and can cruise in a higher gear and at lower throttle openings than is possible on 100% premium gasoline. In daily commute driving, mostly highway, 100% E85 in a turbocharged car can hit fuel mileages of over 90% of the normal gasoline fuel economy. Tests indicate approximately a 5% increase in engine performance is possible by switching to E85 fuel in high performance cars" edit to add this Interest in E85 is high enough that there are now competitions for engine builders to develop winning combinations for both power and fuel economy on this fuel. One such competition is sponsored by the AERA Engine Builders Association. It makes sense that an engine the was built specificly for gas is going to perform best with gas but what about the an engine build for E85?

^ great pic montecarloss :clap:

I guess because of the new regulations in place this dosnt matter much, but it must have been e10 based from this article i found. http://www.e85fuel.com/news/041404_fyi.htm More motorists may soon be trying ethanol-blended fuel - not because of their concerns about the environment, but because of concerns over their wallets. Ethanol industry leaders say the recent sharp rise in gasoline prices could prove to be a boon for ethanol-blend gasoline, which is as much as 5-cents-per-gallon cheaper than regular gas at pumps around the Midwest. "It's true that the economy of ethanol makes it more attractive to consumers financially than straight gasoline," said Ron Lamberty, market development director of the American Coalition for Ethanol in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. "If there's an upside to higher gas prices, I guess that's it." In the competitive market around Omaha, some gas stations offer E-10 gas - 90 percent gasoline blended with 10 percent ethanol - at prices 4 cents a gallon cheaper than regular. One of those is the Fantasy's station in Papillion, where a gallon of E-10 sold Monday for $1.64, compared with $1.68 for a gallon of regular blend gas.

I have news for you, almost all Ohio gas stations already use 10% ethanol. E-85 is 85% ethanol which is a big difference. I'm trying to remember what the % was I know It was defiantly higher then anything available in Ohio, but i don't think it was 85%, but based on memory it was cheaper (probably because of location) And I'm 90% positive we got better gas millage.

I don't know driving out west last year when you go through Iowa and Nebraska, most of their pumps are high levels of ethanol i think 10 %, I ran it in my Honda civic with out any problems, it actually increased our gas millage for a stretch of the trip. the gas it self was cheaper then regular unleaded if i remember correctly buy about 15c.

they still have a chance to meet in the big east conf tournament, plus I think that this will put more importance on the regular season game, and playing Louisville three time a year can suck esp. when both teams are usually good.

its an uber-rightist propaganda mill.

Man, you are too conservative and this comment proves it. ;) Well, I was born in Cincinnati ;). so thats why your racist ;).

But I guess for someone who probably get history lessons from 700 wlw, your ignorance is understandable Honestly, you have no idea what you're talking about. I'll happily admit I have a ton to learn about European history - but dude, basically all I do in my spare time is study Arabic, read history and surf UrbanOhio. I listen to 700 when the Reds are playing. point taken, your comment just rubbed me the wrong way. I guess I'm just sick of some of the crap i here spewed from listeners of 700 that is just a very ignorant way to look at the world. I apologize for lumping you into that crowd it basically makes me in a way a hypocrite because i just did something to you that i hate. :wave:

^ What Is Bastille Day? Bastille Day is a National holiday in France. It is very much like Independence Day in the United States because it is a celebration of the beginning of a new form of government. At one time in France, kings and queens ruled. Many people were very angry with the decisions made by the kings and queens. The Bastille was a prison in France that the kings and queens often used to lock up the people that did not agree with their decisions. To many, it was a symbol of all the bad things done by the kings and queens. So, on July 14, 1789, a large number of French citizens gathered together and stormed the Bastille. Just as the people in the United States celebrate the signing of the Declaration of Independence as the beginning of the American Revolution, so the people in France celebrate the storming of the Bastille as the beginning of the French Revolution. Both Revolutions brought great changes. Kings and queens no longer rule. The people rule themselves and make their own decisions. .. I'm completely offended with your reign of terror day comment. But I guess for someone who probably get history lessons from 700 wlw, your ignorance is understandable

also this one witch makes me think of a cross between a vagina/eye of sauron

I like this pic better of the first one,

sound like a good prospect, I wonder how long it will take Dantonio to turn the program around.

I can just imagine, living on the banks, watching Bengals/reds games, going to concerts at the arena, and going over to newport to hang out abit, all without a car, then walking to work on Monday. build it I will come, but I'm not a millionare so dont price it way out of my range, keep some options open for the 130k-200k young professionals. i guess the ones that a city needs to keep.
