Maybe things should have stayed that way.

4th floor.

East University Ave.

Taken today. My digital camera was $100 in 2001, explaining the quality.

There's too much Michigan in those photos. I saw a Michigan Ave. sign and a Michigan license plate. Blur that shit out next time. :)

Look again where Toledo's dot is. I-71 and I-77 are going to it. City names are to the right of their dots. 71 and 77 go to Cleveland on the map.

That's really cool!

I think that they were hamming it up. Southerners aren't THAT bad. They can take a joke.

Carl Rogers uses the term "Federal Route" rather than "U.S. Route" and calls traffic on them "Federal Traffic", infuriating certain members of the misc.transport.road community.

^^^ That was really cool!

On tour.

Do remember that Whitesnake was an English band that featured well-established musicians from Deep Purple, Thin Lizzy and Rainbow, not just a bunch of 18-year-old hacks on the Sunset Strip.

I like the way the band looks. I like the band's look!

I'll ask this here first so that I don't have to sign up for a Whitesnake forum if it's not necessary -- does anyone know in which city this picture was taken? A buddy of mine has this in a 2'x3' poster. We think it may be Cincinnati (either east or west of Downtown, with the band standing on the Kentucky side of the Ohio River, and Cincinnati in the background), but we're not sure. Even on the poster it is a bit too blurry to tell. Anyone know?

Why should it take one person years to learn "Eruption" when someone else learned it in a week, right?

That's their own fault for not going to class.

Another important factor to examine is student's different learning curves. When dealing with difficult material, especially for the first time, some students' learning curves prevent them from "getting" the material in only ten weeks. Give them 15 weeks and they will nail the first 10 weeks' material plus easily learn the extra 5 weeks' stuff. On quarters they get a D, while on semesters they earn an A.

Many "evil" highway engineers actually move over to the rail side, and vice versa.

Yes, if they want students to learn less and be more frustrated. :-P

I think that an internship/co-op would be much easier to do on semesters. Plus, since most other states are on semesters, Ohioans on quarters can get locked out of national internships and co-ops because they are stuck in class for a month after everyone else is done for the summer. That would have happened to me for my DC internship if I wasn't on semesters at Marshall. And, summer jobs are also gobbled up by those on semesters (even in Ohio, because of private schools) before quarters people even get a shot at them. Many other states don't even know quarters exist. Another bullshit thing with quarters is the lack of a "Dead Week". For those not familiar with the concept, a Dead Week means that professors cannot assign homework or hold tests in the week before finals week. Therefore, students can focus on the final. I have already had my performance negatively affected by lack of a Dead Week after only one quarter at UC. I had to compromise both an assignment and finals study because there was a large, difficult assignment due during finals week.

As somebody who has done both (college at Shawnee State on quarters, grad school at Marshall on semesters, then more grad school at UC) semesters ARE better. It's worth all the BS associated with the switch.

Also, the money for all those new elementary, middle and high schools across the state was taken at least partly from higher education.

I was just thinking of this today. The fact that Columbus is so overweight may scare single people off. Most people don't want to bust their ass at work to end up with a fat spouse. When I go home, I'm always struck by the number of fat people I see.

I need to catch up with MTR. I think LBMHBF (or whatever the hell it goes by now) is an automotive journalist looking for arguments against overzealous highway regulations.

Oh man, like Laces on Columbus' East Side. I loved that place when I was a kid. It was where the new Wal-Mart is being built on Main. No real surprise...
