The market is legalized gambling, and it is always more fun to use other people's money......

Buy and hold long-term or be at the mercy of the power brokers.

I used Yelp last week on a vacation in New Mexico.  I used it to select over 80% of the meals I ate. If Yelp or sites like it are to become the new standard, the success rate has to be better then I experienced.  While visiting one of the top rated restaurants on Yelp near Santa Fe I had the worst s...

For the guys, what about the Negro league baseball museum or Steamboat Arabia or WW1 museum.


I have never gone, so maybe someone can chime in here, a tour of the Harley Davidson plant might be interesting....

Things would have to be massively worse for an overthrow....... However, there will not likely be a better time in the next 25 years for the Libertarian party to try and build support.  If they can manage to get even 10-15% of the voting public with them (most needing to be moderates)  then both of ...

Don't quote me, but I think it is off Waukomis and Wakanda Ave/50th Terrace.  (may be on 50th Street)

Built by Harlan Shaver Sr. at the age of 70 in 1980.  His son is the current Mayor of Northmoor.

He was quite the character, and anyone that knew him loved him......

I think every classroom in America should be equipped with a camera and mic.  Let parents have access to the camera's.  I bet you would have both the students and the teachers operating at a different level......

Steamboat Arabia and the Minor league baseball museum are both well done and interesting.

I also like some of those already mentioned.

I think this is a good idea as well.    If I had  $4,950 to pay down my debts, I could eliminate some of my debts and as a reult have more spending power to pump into local businesses each and every month.   Imagine 140 million households suddenly with better spending power. This isn't some kind of...

This is a bubble not unlike we have seen in the past. Here is just one interesting article on the subject.   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causes_of_the_United_States_housing_bubble One of the biggest differences between this, and say the tech bubble, is that this time WALL STREET people are losing t...

...and no different putting a moratorium on new check cashing stores. Ahhh, but only certain types of check cashing stores....thick glass is ok, but not if they have windows with bars.... Caffeine is bad for you, there should be a ban on expresso and energy drinks. Alcohol - ban it!  Obvious issues...

You realize that is no where close to Liberty right?

That Lowes is going to the old Blue Ridge mall site near the Stadiums......

Star Wars opening weekend on the big screen May 1977.......etched in my memory forever.....

I know this thread is really about throwing out generalities and unfounded claims, and I really don't want to get in the way of that  :twisted:  but, it is my experience that management ethics are not constrained by chain vs. independent operation. I worked for a chain that had the manager seen anyo...

Most chains are simply businesses that sell food. They are not truly restaurants. Most chains run with horror at the thought of a scratch kitchen... It has been hit upon by others on this thread, but most people avoid taking risks and choose where to eat based on  prior experience or word of mouth. ...

When entering the field of education, don't teachers already know what they are getting into?

To complain after the fact on their pay grade seems a bit crazy.....

Smithville, the next Olathe!

On Amazon most blu-ray titles are 19.95 -23.95.


Still more then regular DVD, but if you have the system to take advantage of the 1080p and new audio codecs....it is hard to ever go back to regular DVD after seeing it in action.

In addition to the PS3 making the biggest dent in HD-DVD, Blu-ray spent the last half of 07' doing buy one get one free promotions, and had several really big titles come out to dominate sales, the weeks HD-DVD had big titles, blu-ray did the BOGO promo's and led in sales every week last year becaus...

Not sure if this is a regular here on the boards (FotoEdge) or not, but came across his Flickr site and thought I would share it. If it has already been done, then forgive my reposting. But compliments on the great shots and the trip down memory lane. http://flickr.com/photos/fotoedge/ I really like...
