    2012 Toyota Camry

    I drove a 12 Camry Hybrid about a month ago and was very impressed too. Did not handle or drive like a hybrid. Drives like a moderately powered V6 yet averages 40 MPG -> that is 40 MPG city and 40 MPG highway.

    *****The Super, Mega, Huge Big 12 Expansion Thread*****

    Assuming MHver3's info is correct, there is one thing that is glaring: If ND joins as 13 the 14th invite will NOT be Louisville as ND will want one of their natural rivals like GT or Pitt. If true, I'm kinda disappointed cause was looking forward to Louisville for their basketball. Maybe that...

    A letter to the neighbors

    That was pretty funny but a little too close to home. Years ago while living in KC I had a neighbor who thought it was his god given right to let his 2 dogs bark 18 hours a day. I when confronted him over it his answer was almost verbatim what was in that email ... must be my problem cause the...

    Charities - Central Iowa

    I worked on a project for Habitat for Humanity a year or so ago. There is a central Iowa branch that is very popular (Building Homes, Transforming Neighborhoods, Changing Lives - Greater Des Moines Habitat for Humanity). They have a "reuse" store where people can buy refurbished materials for...

    ever closer

    I was wondering the same thing. With conference expansion ... likely more in-conference games and raising the bar to 7 wins for a bowl game ... how long until we stop playing Iowa. At this point, I can't say that I would miss it. How important is playing UI to our long term future anymore...

    *****The Super, Mega, Huge Big 12 Expansion Thread*****

    At this point it looks like FSU and Clemson to get back to 12. The 10 billion dollar question is what would ND need in order to commit to a conference affiliation. One of its natural rivals like Pitt or GT? If that's what it takes then they get the invite.

    *****The Super, Mega, Huge Big 12 Expansion Thread*****

    Do you really think UNC, Virgina, or Maryland will bolt on the ACC? I don't. There have been rumors of GA Tech and VA Tech involved in the realignment discussions and think those are far more likely. My comment was based on my perception (right or wrong) that Pitt is a far more natural and...

    *****The Super, Mega, Huge Big 12 Expansion Thread*****

    I'm not against Pitt joining and would be pretty awesome if it was the nail that brought ND into the fold. How about 16 with the following adds: FSU, Clemson, Miami, Lousiville, Pitt, ND. Damn, now that would be the first SUPER conference.

    After this years NBA Draft

    Nice analysis ... but gotta question the validity of the stats. Iowa has 15 yrs in the top 25 in attendance? You gotta be shittin me. That place is a morgue compared to Hilton !

    *****The Super, Mega, Huge Big 12 Expansion Thread*****

    I'm not sure that FSU or Clemson would bail if they joined the B12 or SEC offered later. I think the deal would be structured that it would be awful hard to leave. Didn't they just extend the Rights to 13 years ???

    Rural Speed Cameras on the Way

    Exactly ... more politicians lying to us. I want to start a BOYCOTT WINDSOR HEIGHTS movement ... as far as I am concerned having the city of windsor heights tax me for driving by their city on I235 is taxation without representation. I want to set up a boycott that costs them more in revenue...

    is it illegal?

    I don't know if the state by state explanations that were referenced above have been updated to reflect the latest .... but the criminals have exempted themselves from the laws that apply to everyone else. Like they always do. I am referring to cops, politicians, judges, etc. It is OK for a cop...

    Laptop recommendations?

    I was thinking the same thing. I actually have a dead laptop with a flawless display. It was from a 15 incher that was about 3 years old and not used too much. If you want to give a shot and replacing it then PM me ... I'll give it to you for free.

    Someone needs a life ... spying and invading the privacy of someone else is not cool or interesting or fun. Its a form of sickness but unfortunately is a sign of the times we live in ... one of the most widespread forms of mental illness right now is CWS -> Celebrity Worship Syndrome. Of course...

    meningitis

    As you know there are 2 types which are very different. Bacterial can kill you and is contagious but is treatable. Viral is not contagious, usually does not kill you, and in many cases (like mine) is not treatable. You need to do some research and its very easy to do on the internet. Or talk to...
