priority #1 in the off season, find a closer!

8-8...their schedule is brutal..plus this is their first season of dealing with any sort of expectations, no telling how the team will react

thanks guys...duohome looks way cool...i will definitely check that place out...cd-clev...jjwoodcraft's store looks enormous...

ok, here are some ideas of what i like...my partment is off of shaker square, so MTS you probably know a little about what the inside looks like...hardwood floors, crown molding, white walls, exposed radiators..

i have no idea what my preferred style would be called...but i really like the dark wood colored furniture..i don't care much for white/lighter colored furniture, or anything with a pattern on it...i guess my style would be called "modern minimalistic"? :? MTS..i need furniture for bedroom/dining room/living room

Does anyone have any helpful suggestions on where to go to buy new furniture? I've gone to Value City, Levin, and a half-dozen or so local, non-chain stores. So far Value City is by far the best when factoring in both cost and style. Anybody else have any thoughts? :?

Any list that does not start with Zeppelin IV as #1 merits no consideration!

i will be happy so long as mike the hatter is still there!

the medical mart / convention center is most assuredly stalled/delayed until further notice. there will be no progress made on this project until the investigation is complete, which will take years...

I wonder if the FBI/IRS pushed their raid up after seeing what happened to Cimperman's house yesterday morning? The thinking being w need to act now, before this escalates any further...

^yes...

^i hope so...if you prorate his ABs/HR ratio over the course of an entire 500 AB season, he's on pace for 37 dingers....not too shabby... ...i really think he fell into Wedge's doghouse and is only playing now b/c management has forced Wedge's hand

you cannot legislate morality

at least it's mixed use!

this game should do a lot to quiet the OSU naysayers always siting a weak non-conference schedule

if you look at things like range factor / dps turned / assists /etc his numbers aren't bad...but maybe some of that can be attributed to the # of ground ball pitchers on the indians

I envision him moving to a third/ss/dh role next year. doing this will provide insurance against marte/hodges not being ready to take over in 2009.

:clap:

nice job mccleveland you are like urbanohio's very own project-paparazzi

it seems Wedge has finally found some consistent hitting of late...team could still have a shot at .500 if Carmona comes back and is the pitcher he was last year

it won't let me sign up to use the service....

True, but how does this whole scenario play out? A recession would only cause further drop in demand, thus theoretically lowering the prices of oil further, but then making it potentially too costly for oil companies to extract the remaining quantities. Tough to guess where the "correct" market price of oil should be, but it would appear that $140 in 2008 may be too high.

"Peak Demand" also needs to be taken into consideration. The 30 billion barrels of oil figure above assumes that demand will not drop (or not grow), but remain flat over time. Given what we are seeing in the non-BRIC, Westernized societies with respect to domestic oil demand (it is falling), there is a chance we could see that 30 billion figure drop. Considering that China, and other government regulated markets, are feeling growing pressure to stop subsidizing it, this potentiality should not be immediately dismissed. Consider the US, in April day to day demand was down nearly 1 million barrels and most assuredly continued to drop in subsequent months. That translates to a drop in US demand of 350 million barrels over a year. The same is being seen in Japan/Germany/UK/France/Italy/etc. So while demand in BRIC may still be growing (China's growth was 310 million barrels from 05-07), the drop seen in already fully-developed nations could more than offset it. I do believe relatively high oil is here to stay though. $75/barrel oil may not be profitable enough for oil companies to bother going after some of the more elusive, untapped reserves. It's really economics 101 at the end of the day, finding that equilibrium between supply and demand.

sir2gees/oldmanladyluck what exactly are you referencing when you make the claim that cleveland "officially" made the transition from manufacturing to a service/medical based economy in 2007? I don't doubt you, but is it based on # jobs in the region that fit into that description, or something else?
