Another problem is that many companies filter all outbound traffic through one IP, so multiple people could appear to have the same IP.

If RnR doesn't beat you down for that comment, I just might! :)

When we really lost the game was when we had first and third with nobody out in the top of the 4th inning and Hafner struck out, then Orlando Cabrera grounded into a DP.

My thoughts exactly. He probably thinks Dublin is cool and wishes more of Ohio could be like that.

The AL Central has the best combined record of any division in the MLB. AL East: 21-30 (.412) AL Central: 29-24 (.547) AL West: 24-20 (.545) NL East: 26-25 (.510) NL Central: 30-34 (.469) NL West: 27-24 (.529) The Indians and Reds are tied for the 2nd best record in the MLB behind Texas.

Shocker. Conservatives love government spending...when it's spent on them.

When is the next one due? Based on the dates of the other conventions that have been called (1851, 1873, and 1912) I would say some time in the 2011-2013 range.

My theory on why they were winning is that they were scoring more runs than their opponents.

To me, that's what's encouraging. We're playing so well event with Choo and Santana not hitting the ball. And I'm hoping Grady is back in old form when he returns.

Keep it going Tribe! I can't remember the last time I was excited enough about the Indians to stay up for the end of a West Coast trip game on a weeknight.

Ummmm....but that's the exact argument against trains and other public transportation that highway-lovers use. They bash any other form of transportation as "losing money" if it has to receive funding from sources other than user fees to keep it afloat.

It looks like one house has gone in there. I wonder if all of the land is slated to be SFH?

How is that [amending the Ohio Constitution to prohibit Kasich from being governor] illegal, Sherman? Do you have a cite? No, I referred to the amendment that was designed to exclude funding for the Cincinnati streetcar, not to prohibit Kasich from being governor. Huh? I took it the same way as jdm00. Yeah, double huh? natininja: Neither is it illegal to amend the constitution to block him from holding office. Sherman: Yeah, that is. Not sure there's more than one way to interpret that exchange.

If his product is so well loved, maybe he should open up a storefront downtown then? Bingo. The food trucks are a great concept, but I don't think they should be allowed to take the place of restaurants. I think their value is in finding places people need food when it's not easily accessible to them (outside bars late at night, at festivals, parks, etc.). I don't know if our city streets and parking spaces should be "donated" to these food trucks so they can put restaurants (who have invested in a brick and mortar store) out of business.

When I was in elementary school I lived in Mentor. Sometimes when we'd go downtown, we'd drive down to Shaker and Green and ride in from there.

I think Pugu is referring to the $400 million we didn't accept. $17 million sounds about right for the amount Ohio is contributing towards that federal total, which is now going to another state.

Sure. We've got uniforms and everything! Do you think the Indians have a cardboard cutout of Dolan in the locker room, ripping off a piece of his clothing after each win?

Florida beaches are overrated, but they are usable for a much greater portion of the year than Michigan beaches. That is really their main advantage.

Of course it will. But will it be more or less of a problem than teachers who currently keep their jobs over younger counterparts based on seniority despite lack of effort/enthusiasm/creativity in their daily approach? That's the real question. gottaplan -1 It will be much more of a problem. Older teachers lacking "effort/enthusiasm/creativity in their daily approach" isn't nearly as big of a problem as many people love to claim these days. But these stifling standardized tests are helping to ensure that moving forward nearly all teachers (regardless of age) will lack "effort/enthusiasm/creativity in their daily approach". EDIT: Sorry, I just read Clevelander17's post and realized he pretty much said the exact same thing. At least my post reset your Karma points to 0.

I think it's relatively easy to get people to use public transportation for work or a major entertainment venue but much more difficult for dinner at a restaurant in a small neighborhood, even for people who live in urban environments. As much as I love taking public transportation, it becomes very hard to justify using transit to go 2 or 3 miles to have dinner with friends in Tremont, Lakewood, Ohio City, or the Detroit Shoreway. A couple can get in their car and drive 5 minutes from Tremont to have dinner at Luxe, or spend $9 for RTA, take two transit lines, and spend 27 minutes to get there. The Detroit Shoreway is well served by frequent transit lines, however the nature of the destination makes using public transportation inconvenient/costly/time consuming. People generally visit the neighborhood for a dinner or a movie/play as a couple or group and an outing may be just 3 hours. At 51 cents per mile to drive, it's cheaper to drive a distance of 4.5 miles one way than use RTA if driving alone, tack on 4.5 miles for each person in the vehicle. Therefore a group of 4 could live 18 miles away and still find using personal transit cheaper than taking public transit. It really is a paradox. Gordon Square could definitely use more parking, but yet has ample public transit options. As someone who lives 2 miles away and frequents the district with my friend, there's no way we'd ever spend $9 bucks, 20+ minutes on RTA for such a short distance each time we went out. Now if only RTA had some sort of 50 cent fares if you were only going a mile or two ... now that would be nice! The advantage is more for people that already use transit for work/etc. and have a monthly cost. Then it's free for them to get there (already a sunk cost). But your point is still very valid.

I actually thought Vincenzo's closed at 6pm. It has been closed every single time I've tried to go there (which is only a handful, but usually between 6pm and 7pm).

True, but didn't have too many fans at games in the late 90s. :)

"Teaching to the test" is already a big enough problem. Expect it to only get worse with this bill.

And the Browns still sell out every game, even after being horrible (more so than the Bengals) for over a decade.
