    Math Questions

    For leap years, the daily rate changes to offset the extra day, because the 7% annual rate is constant whether it's a leap year or not. Making this assumption may not be exact, but it's going to be a pretty doggone close approximation (well beyond any significant figures the professor could want).

    Skinny burgers are for Cyclone fans

    I thought it was clever. However, that didn't stop me from writing a pissy note to Hardee's on their website in hopes of getting free burger coupons or something as an apology. :yes:

    Big XII Championship Turf Question

    I thought I had read when the stadium opened that Jerry Jones bought separate fields for college and the NFL. They may repaint the end zones and logoes, but I'm pretty sure it's a different field than the one they use on Sundays. No link though. :dull:

    Want to buy or build a 10x10 shed in Ames

    By my math, a 10' x 12' x 3" concrete pad would only be 1.111 cubic yards of concrete, so about $100.

    Westin Crown Center in KC

    We stayed at the Westin for the football game last year and it was great! About a $5 cab ride to and from the Power & Light district if you're going out at all. Also, we did the Hotel Phillips for the NCAA Tourney at Sprint Center last year, and it was nothing short of ideal. The rooms were...

    Dumpster-sex-robbed

    I'm trying to figure out how I'm just now hearing about this! I need to get out more, I guess. On the other hand, now that I see where it happened I am not too terribly surprised.

    Who's traveling to K State?

    I'm in the same boat as you - married a KSU alum this summer. However, for my birthday she bought me club-level seats on the ISU side:yes: We made the deal that we get to sit on the "home team" side for the next two years, so I'll have to hang with all the purple people next year.

    excitement level for the ksu game?

    From what I've seen of K-State and heard from my fiance that went there, they have a habit of letting down after big games almost always. She's feeling pretty scared about this one. I'm looking forward to driving up there tonight - I think if we play like we did against OU and Texas we've got a...

    Anyone know of a good deal for a Refinance?

    A small bank here in the Wichita area. I'm not sure what they do outside Kansas, but I suppose there has to be some sort of benefit to living here!

    Anyone know of a good deal for a Refinance?

    I am closing on my first house in 2 1/2 weeks, and I just locked in 5 minutes ago at 4.875% with no points, and closing costs of about $1900. When you couple that with the $7,500 first-time homebuyer's tax credit, I feel like going home and doing a little jig :yes:
