Correct.

Hint: Home to a Big Ten team.

Hint: Somewhere in Indiana.

Anyone care to take a stab at this one? (Resized as to not break the new forum style sheet.) Full Version

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...

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.

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.

Nail-biter tonight... Glad to see UC pull it off in overtime.

I'm absolutely shocked that you didn't enjoy (and rather hated) the Goose Island Matilda brew. What did you not like about it? I couldn't finish it. One of three beers on the list I didn't finish. (Cranberry Lambic and the Chili beer being the other two.) For some reason, I do not like Belgian style beer, especially the cask conditioned ones. (I forget if the Matilda was or not, but I think it was.) It's just a matter of personal preference. That being said, the Trappist beers are pretty good. The Dortmunder Gold and Commodore Perry IPA are by far their best products. But again, this is all opinion. The 60 minute IPA was awesome, the 90 minute IPA was amazing (I even had it through Randall the Enamel Animal at Ale Fest 2008 in Dayton), but the 120 minute just tasted bad. I thought it might have been old, but the whole point of an IPA is that it survives longer than a normal ale... I don't know if I just got a bad one or if it was characteristic of the 120 minute IPA, but it wasn't very good at all. And at the outrageous price for a single bottle, I didn't see any reason to give it another shot. They do on occasion. That is where I found my bottle. It is not for sale in the state of Ohio, so your only shot in town is on the KY side of the river.

I have a year long project for 2008. My goal, by the end of the year, is to have tried 365 different kinds of beer. It may not sound like much, but it is actually quite a challenge to find 365 different brands/types of beer. The local grocery store my top out at around 50, if it has a good selection. The key to this will be microbrews and brewpubs, along with some specialty shops in the area that carry a wide selection of beers. (Namely: Jungle Jims in Fairfield, OH and Tha Party Source in Newport, KY.) The list is slightly interactive, allowing the user to sort by various parameters, in ascending and descending order. If anyone has some suggestions for making it better, feel free to let me know. The list may be found here.

Clearly you are not familiar with shrinkage...

Very interesting. What's the story behind the flag, when you said Confederate flag I was expecting something like the General Lee's roof...

Thanks for the enthusiastic remarks, UncleRando.

^Wow. That's a kick ass pool/view. There are lots of leaves on the ground already out there, but there were also a lot of green trees that had not started to turn yet. If I had to guess I would say peak is a week or two off. Thanks guys.
