March 23, 200916 yr Does anyone here have Cincinnati Bell? If so, how do you like your service? Any dropped calls?
March 24, 200916 yr Aww, It's like a little part of my childhood just became unavailable. Not that she was ever 'available' anyway, but you know what I'm saying http://buzz.yahoo.com/buzzlog/92397?fp=1 Play this while you read
March 24, 200916 yr MTS, any suggestions on the best BBQ in Harlem? There isn't any. NYC in general has horrible BBQ. and if you are at all thinking about trying Dino BBQ.....I'll kick your skinny lil republican @ss all the way back to Solon!
March 24, 200916 yr woah hold up... Dino BBQ??? If it's THE Dinosaur BBQ that's also in 'Cuse and Rochester then you better watch what you say!! ;-) Best BBQ around!!
March 24, 200916 yr woah hold up... Dino BBQ??? If it's THE Dinosaur BBQ that's also in 'Cuse and Rochester then you better watch what you say!! ;) Best BBQ around!! Yes that craptastic Dinosaur BBQ! All those drunk college kids, unattended spoiled brats running around spilling sauce on sneakers, horrible wait staff and a dismal environment. The food is even worse. Oh, God don't even get me started!!
March 24, 200916 yr Go up to Syracuse where it all started, my friend. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
March 24, 200916 yr Go up to Syracuse where it all started, my friend. I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Gracias pero no gracias!
March 24, 200916 yr f$&k upstate, I'm talkin Harlem world! The best bbq i've had in Harlem has been at Mobay's. The best I've had in Manhattan is a toss up between two places Daisy Mae's waaaaaaaaaaaay over on the west side near 44 street or place downtown in the Village, but the name escapes me. MRNYC...help...I think the name is Hog Heaven (or Maws or Joint). Hog Something.
March 25, 200916 yr Go up to Syracuse where it all started, my friend. I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Gracias pero no gracias! be nice. I went to SU and many a great meal at Dino. good local bands there too. It's no Whitmore's but it got me through 7 years of snow encrusted hell.
March 25, 200916 yr We would fly into Syracuse then drive up to our plant in Belleville. We drove through that 100 inch snow storm in 2007. that sure was fun!

March 25, 200916 yr We would fly into Syracuse then drive up to our plant in Belleville. We drove through that 100 inch snow storm in 2007. that sure was fun! I was long gone by then. But I was there in 93 when they had 3 feet in march.
March 25, 200916 yr My brother lives up there and attended SUNY ESF and he has said a few things about the weather up there. One thing he said was that you don't see the ground from November until mid April. Also he once said there are two seasons in 'Cuse, "Snow Season", and "Construction Season" lol.
March 27, 200916 yr Authorities believe alcohol was involved. ... however marijuana is illegal? Hmmmm- ok.
March 27, 200916 yr Marijuana kills your short term memory. I don't know if there's statistics on it but it has to be true. The guy at the convenience store up the street is a blatant pot head. Every time I go up to the counter he's like "you need anything else maaan", I'm like "no, I'm good". Then three seconds later he's like "Is that all you need maaan". He does it almost every time!

Me living in the city is "bad" for my allergies (according to my doctor). The point isn't that it's healthy or beneficial, it's that we live in a country where on one hand we have a substance that is extremely addictive, heightens aggression and a lack of respect for anyone and is legal and on the other we have the opposite, except this one is illegal.

No, don't get it twisted. I think it should be legalized too. I agree. I don't have anything againt people who smoke weed - I have friends who do it. It's harmless compared to cigarettes or alcohol. Cigarettes are as addictive as heroin and they're legal so it makes no sense. I just can't believe how it fries some peoples memory.
March 28, 200916 yr Speaking of drugs, I just tried this 'Deton 8' energy drink and it is really kicking in. I looked at the ingredients and there's almost 2000 mg of Taurine and no caffeine. That sounds a hell of a lot higher than the amount of Taurine I've seen in any other energy drink. My brain feels so stimulated right now; watch me crash hard in about 2 hours lol I should have just gotten that double shot espresso at least I'd be in a known and certain world. I'm always reluctant to try the new stuff but it was only a buck.
March 28, 200916 yr I have RoadRunner through Time Warner Cable. This month, the rate for my service just increased from $34.95/month to $46.95/month. The old rate was not a "promotional" rate -- that expired long ago. So I guess they just decided to impose a 34% rate hike for an unknown reason.
March 28, 200916 yr Call and complain. It sounds like they should have told you about it in advance. I wonder what the state laws are regarding that.
March 28, 200916 yr fellas. try as they may....ny and bbq just do not mix. Thank you. When I hear folks rave about Blue Smoke, I just look at them like they are crazy.
March 30, 200916 yr Finished up the last of my graduate capstone project. What an incredible feeling. Held down for 7 months, and the responsibilities fell pretty heavy on me and one other member toward the end. I spent 12 hours on two days getting it printed and bound. I then celebrated with a trip to Chicago this weekend. Making labels for 40 CD's to be sent out to our project sponsors. That computer console is where I enjoy urbanohio Preparing the documents to be cut down in a large cutter. I wanted to cut the "unprintable" margins off you can see on the edge of the blue cover.

I canceled my TW account, yet they just sent me another bill. Go figure. It's making me consider giving my wireless router password to my neighbors and splitting the monthly bill with them... which my be against the terms of service or something... but, come on -- an unannounced 34% price increase?
March 30, 200916 yr TW has been very cooperative in negotiating rates. First of all, simply call them and ask why it went up, then ask to speak to the retention department and tell them this increase is unacceptable. They will probably make an adjustment.
March 30, 200916 yr Well, I tried that when I got that awful customer service (a few pages back). Retention told me that they would take care of the installation charges (e.g. eliminate it), but then I was slapped for $40 + $70 in installation (cable and internet are separate). All the guy did was come in, remove the old cable, and install a new cable to the wall. For that money, give it to me and I'd do it in a fraction of the time.
March 30, 200916 yr I spent some time on Saturday at a friend's house who has Cox. Their HD offerings were significantly better than TW...probably in the neighborhood of 25-30 more channels, including some that you would think are pretty standard like CNN, FX, and USA. I've called multiple times to ask why and I never even get an answer, outside of "we review our channel offerings in markets regularly and add them as demand dictates".
March 30, 200916 yr I was at a friend's over the weekend, and they had AT&T's UVerse installed. Blows TW and Cox out of the water. Not only better HD selection, but better overall selection, and the ability to pull up menu items like weather, stocks, etc. right on your channel. It's not available in my area yet, but when it is I think I might check it out.
March 30, 200916 yr Great New York photographer Helen Levitt dies: full story: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/30/arts/design/30levitt.html Helen Levitt, Who Froze New York Street Life on Film, Is Dead at 95 By MARGARETT LOKE Published: March 30, 2009 Helen Levitt, a major photographer of the 20th century who caught fleeting moments of surpassing lyricism, mystery and quiet drama on the streets of her native New York, died in her sleep at her home in Manhattan on Sunday. She was 95.Her death was confirmed by her brother, Bill Levitt, of Alta, Utah. Ms. Levitt captured instances of a cinematic and delightfully guileless form of street choreography that held at its heart, as William Butler Yeats put it, “the ceremony of innocence.” A man handles garbage-can lids like an exuberant child imitating a master juggler. Even an inanimate object — a broken record — appears to skip and dance on an empty street as a child might, observed by a group of women’s dresses in a shop window. http://www.mainstreetpainesville.org/
March 31, 200916 yr Go to the link so you can see a picture of this thing. I must have one. Ohio man charged with drunken driving on bar stool http://www.usatoday.com/news/offbeat/2009-03-31-bar-stool-dui_N.htm NEWARK, Ohio (AP) — Authorities in Ohio say a man has been charged with drunken driving after crashing his motorized bar stool. Police in Newark, 30 miles east of Columbus, say when they responded to a report of a crash with injuries on March 4, they found a man who had wrecked a bar stool powered by a deconstructed lawn mower. Twenty-eight-year Kile Wygle was hospitalized for minor injuries. Police say he was charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated after he told an officer at the hospital that he had consumed 15 beers. Wygle told police his motorized bar stool can go up to 38 mph. Wygle has pleaded not guilty and has requested a jury trial.
March 31, 200916 yr Has anyone heard of the McDonald's in Manhattan that serves its food on actual china with real silverware? I heard they did a segment on it during a show on the travel channel, I want to check it out, but can't find anything on it on the internet.

I know that on lower Broadway in the Financial District a couple of blocks up from Wall St. there's (or there used to be?) a McDonald's that was considered sort of upscale w/a pianist and kind of a semi-formal ambience. Don't know about the silverware and china though. http://www.mainstreetpainesville.org/
April 1, 200916 yr God d@mnit! No April fools jokes allowed? I was going to make a little rendering and fake news article about "The Broadway Commons Re-development". Everyone would have been like "YES! YES! Cincinnati is taking over! Muahahaha!" Then I'd chime in like, ...syke.

April 1, 200916 yr The "No April Fool's Jokes" item IS the April Fool's Joke. :) That's what I thought. Good one guys!!
April 1, 200916 yr This is officially my favorite April Fool's Day article: City Officials Favor 'Stupid Growth' Posted by: planetizen 1 April 2009 - 8:00am ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Officials in Shelbyville, Kentucky are officially adopting a citywide "Stupid Growth" policy. The city plans to release the new Shelbyville Stupid Growth General Plan, which emphasizes "building whatever." Shelbyville Planning Director Helen Yang calls the move the obvious choice for the city. "Let's face it: I'm pretty stupid, our mayor is an idiot, and the vast majority of our residents test at or below a fourth grade level. 'Smart Growth' is ideologically incompatible with our community makeup," she said. Development in the city will now largely be guided by whim, drunken impulses, and the city's long-held motto: "git 'er done." ------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.planetizen.com/node/38094
April 1, 200916 yr Well, the "just" restored home across from my apartment building was in flames today. I woke up from a nap when my smoke detector starting going off. Looks like the house will be salvageable but the front iwll need to be rebuilt. My camera battery was dead, so no action shots, but I did get some photos after everyone cleared out.
April 2, 200916 yr Has anyone heard of the McDonald's in Manhattan that serves its food on actual china with real silverware? I heard they did a segment on it during a show on the travel channel, I want to check it out, but can't find anything on it on the internet. Several years ago some of the fast-food franchises in my area tried that in order to spiff up the "dining" experience. Didn't work; the local fast-food clientele were accustomed to taking stuff out of a paper bag and eating it with their hands, and the concept of eating food from a plate using metal utensils was utterly baffling to them. They tried to play frisbee with the plates and used the forks to stick each other in the face. :roll:
