    A chance to forget about the Iowa game.

    Okay I went ahead and put the movie in and changed the region code. Now all my DVDs will play with the region one code. So it looks like since I had never used it before it had a default region code. So I think that problem is fixed. Now I have a new problem. I am trying to download a...

    A chance to forget about the Iowa game.

    I am trying to watch a movie on my laptop but I get a DVD region error. It is saying that that my current region code is FREE and the DVD itself is region 1. It will only allow me to change the region code 5 times. What I guess I don't understand is why the region code of the DVD player and...

    Big 12 Men’s Basketball Schedule Announced

    I just hope to have more games in HD this year. Last year the Saturday games as part of the Phillips 66 were painful to watch. Half of the time you were trying to figure out who was even on the floor because you couldn't read the jersey number or make out a face.

    Des Moines area internet providers

    I have moved recently across town and I kept my same phone number. I used to pay like $60 for phone and internet and now I am paying $88. They say that since I moved the package I was under is no longer available, even though I didn't change phone numbers. Now they advertise for $99 phone...

    Des Moines area internet providers

    I currently have Qwest as my internet provider and they are starting to irritate me with there billing charges. I currently have the DSL 1.5Mbps option through Qwest. In the Des Moines area are there any other providers, specifically in Ankeny? The only two that I really can find anything on...

    Templeton Rye Supply and Clone Love

    I know that the Sam's Club off of 8th street in WDM always seems to have cases on the shelves for what it is worth. Only thing is you have to have a membership to purchase.

    MBB Big 12 Predictions

    I don't care who we have coming back. If we don't change the style of our offense then I don't see ISU finishing better than 10th. With Colorado and Nebraska being below. You're not going to win many games having four guys run around the three point line and as soon as a shot goes up have...

    Ankeny Police Incompetent!

    I found out another way you can get pulled over and get ticketed. If you have a license plate cover on your car that covers the county on the plate. I got that from the State patrol coming home from a football game.

    PS3 game error

    Thanks for the help. Once I turned that off it worked fine. It took about 30 minutes to download but it worked. Dumb question but what does turning that off do?

    PS3 game error

    So, I bought my son Burnout Paradise for his birthday and I am having trouble trying to get the game to load. It says there is an update verson 1.7 that needs to be installed and when I click ok it just sits there. After a moment an error 80710723 pops up. I have checked online but I can't...

    Next 4 Games (schedule gets easier)

    I don't know about easier, have you looked at the standings in the Big 12. Being tied for last I don't see any easy games. They will go 1-3 beating Colorado. I agree about the road games, until I see otherwise I will not pick them to win a game on the road.

    Pollard

    I don't hold this against Pollard. I agree he got what he thought was a hot coach. What would upset me is if he doesn't accept that he made a mistake and he will do what it takes to correct the situation.

    What I Don't Understand...

    What I don't understand is the poor fundamentals from this team. I can't stand the poor dribbling and passing that this team makes this late in a season. I do believe this falls on the coaching staff. For crying out loud when I look at the bench there are just as many suits as players. What...

    Driving to game tonight

    Not tonight for me, mine just got destroyed by a vehicles side mirror. The guy was nice enough to give me has name and number to pay for the damages. But the side roads in Ankeny are terrible. I am sitting and watching car slide all over the place.

    Pizza in West Des Moines (area)

    I can' t believe that five pages into this thread and no mention of Marino's. I have been to most of the places mentioned in the Des Moines area and none are close to Marino's. It is about three blocks East of J.Benjamin's on Franklin. It is small local restaurant run by a Italian couple from...

    Official SDSU Meltdown Thread

    Went to the game tonight and I am at a loss as to describe how I feel. I can't remember a game as bad as the one tonight. ISU got completely man handled by the SDSU. This is going to be a tough one for the fans to recover from. I feel sorry for the players, but what about the fans that tried...

    Anyone drive today yet?

    Ankeny to DesMoines took me about 30 minutes. The roads are not too bad.

    Is McDermott's job security in danger

    It doesn't matter if he gets a roster of 5 star kids, if they don't rebound and play defense they are not going to win any more games then they currently have. What happened to the gritty teams of the past? When we lost they at least new it was a fight to win the game. That is how most of...

    Head Coach Poll

    I really don't want to see a HC that is defensive minded. The last two could never get ISU in the top 100. I think it is time to look on the offensive side.
