  1. Probably because they were up front about it and provided the requested dockumentation..... Haha, I was wondering if anyone would pick up on that.

    Also, the Illegal Defense rule has been relaxed since then.

    Chillwave is a Double IPA and is very good.
  4. This was stated a number of times last year. Anyone in the know why a no go so far? I am amazed anyone has faith in The Coral Company to keep their word after the Cedar Center North debacle.
  5. I don't think I've ever seen that parking lot more than half full. That is really disappointing about Winking Lizard leaving Coventry, but hopefully something nice moves in.

  7. Didn't the old movie theater have 8 screens, but you had to go outside to get to 4 of them?
  8. When you come out of Macy's, if you head right, the mall looks like it's doing well, including the wing to the food court. The shorter wing to the left has a fair amount of vacancies and no name stores. The last time I was there, it was pretty busy, and that was before the holiday season.
  9. The Macy's there was pretty nice, definitely the nicest department store at the mall, and always seemed to be doing decent. I think its biggest problem is that it's too close to the University Square Macy's.

    From everything I've seen, he's just a bad shooter. I do agree that he plays tough defense. It's just that he's a nightmare on offense. It's tough in the NBA to play with a guy out there that can be left open and you're pretty sure he still won't score. It makes it even worse when that guy is a shooting guard.

    LOL, I'm not sure I've ever seen a player worse than Dellavedova in the NBA, let alone get this much PT. He's a small, slow shooting guard that can't shoot. But, hey, he hustles at least! :roll:

    I believe the playground picture you posted is in Canada. http://www.orcacoastplay.com/project-gallery/joeys-world-bowmanville/

    I agree. Hopefully Lebron plays it conservatively with his back and saves himself for the playoffs. All those years where we won 60+ games we never won a championship. Getting to the playoffs healthy and rested is what's important, even if you're not a 1 seed.

    Yeah, I can't say I've been all that impressed with Love. He puts up good numbers, but he doesn't seem to come through when we need him to. Also, he's not as athletic as I expected him to be. I guess I hadn't watched him enough when he was in Minnesota.
  15. Laugh? Have you seen my rants about that dump? I don't get the hype either.
  16. And yet, these things were somehow Hoyer's fault when he started.
  17. We were 1-0 against the Bengals this year. Unfortunately, our season ended early at 7-6. Then we sent out a joker with a Browns uniform and a 2 on the back to play a few exhibition games to finish the year out.
  18. Not only did Hoyer give us the best chance to win against Indianapolis, we likely would have won if we had released Billy Cundiff a week earlier. Johnny Manziel looked exactly like the quarterback I thought he would. The things he got away with in college don't work in the NFL.
  19. Exactly. That's why I'm optimistic that his inaccuracy comes from a lack of focus rather than stress. It still has made some games closer than they needed to be. I think more of the inconsistency comes from the fact that we run Ben Tate for negative yardage on some drives, and Terrence West for (short, but) positive yardage on others. The reason our offensive production is lagging can mostly be attributed to the lack of a running game all of a sudden. Sure, Hoyer has been a little inconsistent, but how many QB's could consistently throw for over 200 yards every single game? Let alone when defenses are pinning their ears back knowing we can't run the ball on them? (Answer, nobody since Brian Sipe in 1983 has passed for more than 200 yards in eight consecutive games for the Browns until Hoyer just did it with his 300 yard performance on Sunday.) Especially after closely watching some "elite" quarterbacks the last couple weeks in other games with a more critical eye and seeing them get a pass from the announcers on occasional errant throws, I'm convinced that the media is magnifying every error Hoyer makes in hopes that their wet dream of Johhny Manziel seeing the field comes to fruition.
  20. Do we officially know that the Kimpton will be under the Hotel Palomar flag? For some reason I've always kind of preferred the Hotel Monaco name to the Hotel Palomar name. But I truly think all Kimpton properties should have their own individual names, like they've done with the Prescott Hotel, Argonaut Hotel, Hotel Triton, Hotel Solamar, etc. I was really hoping this would be called The Schofield... Agree. Like Hotel Burnham in Chicago.
  21. I'm so glad someone made a Vine out of that. Watching live, I remember that play and one other time McDonald got put on his butt. It's probably why he didn't even play D1 in college. This crisis is why we are averaging about 50 yards rushing per game over the last 3 games against 3 of the worst teams in the league. I don't think people realized how valuable Alex Mack was.
  22. Awesome! Thanks for your hard work. Unrelated, but I recently used one of All Aboard Ohio's forms to submit letters to Rob Portrman, Sherrod Brown, and Marcia Fudge about Amtrak funding. I got back a ridiculous canned "Republican talking points" response from Rob Portman which had absolutely nothing to do with the letter I sent. I guess that's to be expected. Sherrod Brown replied with a letter that seemed as if it was actually written by a human and directly addressed my concerns. Marcia Fudge sent back a canned email about public transportation funding which did at least mention funding for rail in it, but her opening was "Dear Amtrak Funding [MyLastName]", which I thought was pretty unprofessional and showed a lack of care by not being able to get their automated system working right or at least have a human check over the responses to make sure they make sense.
  23. I will be taking the train east in a couple weeks, so I've been keeping an eye on its timeliness. I have noticed that the last couple weeks it has been "better", normally running between an hour and a half and two hours late instead of six to eight hours late. Did something improve in western Indiana? EDIT: I did notice in NS's response to the STB that the Englewood flyover was completed a few weeks ago. Could that be having a dramatic effect?
  24. At 12MP, iPhones are as good as pretty much any digital for medium distance shots with good lighting. The iPhone camera is very nice and megapixels don't tell the whole story, but all recent iPhone including the 6 and 6 Plus have an 8 megapixel camera.
