  1. Hint: Home to a Big Ten team.
  2. Hint: Somewhere in Indiana.
  3. Anyone care to take a stab at this one? (Resized as to not break the new forum style sheet.) Full Version
  4. The quality of the sensor and lens is also to be considered, in addition to the MP count. However, I've had some of my 8MP XTi pictures blown up to 20"x26" and they look just fine for hanging on a wall. If you look very close you can see some of the pixel artifacts, but it's not noticeable unless you are closer than 1' from the picture. I wouldn't worry about blowing up a 10MP image to that size, especially if it is going to be hanging over an object that prevents people from getting within one foot from it, such as over a desk or mantle.

    I think I see 9 cats in that picture...
  6. Am I the only person here who would rather not see the two teams play, at least not in the regular season? Perhaps it's that I have no preference for one team of the other as I am not a student/graduate of either, but I would prefer them to continue not playing each other. (Maybe this opinion has more to do with my undergrad and graduate schools playing each other every season....) Both teams had a real shot at going undefeated this season (and a one loss season is still a realistic outcome for the Bucks), and an OSU/UC matchup would have meant one team was walking away a loser. Let them duke it out in a bowl game once they both have gone undefeated. (Of course, they would not play each other in a bowl game unless they were #1 and #2...) Anyways, just my 2c.
  7. I don't know if it was all that much smaller than past years. What I do know is that there were a lot more ground effects than high-flying shells. The biggest problem with the show was that the air was stagnant; there were a lot of fireworks that I just couldn't see because of the lingering smoke, and I was just behind the serpentine wall. The finale was a waste to anyone on the north side of the river, you just couldn't see any of it. See the pictures at the bottom here.

    Amazing. There is so much character in this set.

    ^Plus, right across the street from this CVS is a Walgreens that has second and third floor apartments.

    People are pansies anymore. This wouldn't have been an "emergency" at all even a few years ago. edit: added quotation marks.

    My company does not close, it only encourages the use of "Approved Time Off" which is our bag of sick days and holidays. To be fair, back in the wind storm we didn't lose power, and the roads to it are all major county roads, so it really hasn't had the need to shut down.

    I did as a kid. I had quite a large LGB setup. All the trains are in boxes in the basement right now and have been for years. The train table in the garage is now used as a storage unit. I will get back into it at some point, just not in the near future.

    Cyanoacrylate is the generic name for cyanoacrylate based fast-acting glues such as ethyl-2-cyanoacrylate (commonly sold under trade names like Superglue and Krazy Glue), n-butyl-cyanoacrylate (used in the veterinary glues Vetbond and LiquiVet), and 2-octyl cyanoacrylate (used in liquid bandages such as Indermil, Histoacryl, Dermabond, Nexaband, Traumaseal and SuperBonder). Cyanoacrylate adhesives are sometimes known as "instant glues". The acronym "CA" is quite commonly used for industrial grades. The inventor of cyanoacrylates, Harry Coover, said in 1966 that a superglue spray was used in the Vietnam war to retard bleeding in the wounded, whilst they were being transported to hospital. As it can irritate the skin the FDA did not approve superglue's civilian medical use until 1998 when a variant called 2-octyl-cyanoacrylate was developed.
