    Hard Drive Failure?

    Uh oh. This is what shows up when i turn my computer on. Any suggestions? It's a Dell Inspiron One 2305 (All in one) if that matters. Of course despite my reminders I'm sure no one has backed anything up. Need to know if its recoverable at least enough to get the pics off it and if that's not a...

    Hawk Nation/Deace Glowing re: ISU

    Jon D Miller is probably is as good as any of those in the "support your team of choice website/news business at being honest about how good or bad a particular team is or on evaluating the state of a particular program at the school of choice. While I don't read the HN message boards much I try...

    firekirk.com up and running

    I found cyclonefanatic by typing in www.firewaynemorgan.com. we need to start a www.keepkirk.com. I'm afraid they will keep him and when they finally fire him it'll be the same year Bret Bielema is let go from Arkansas. Wisconsin is the model for Iowa to be successful and he knows how to do it...

    US Cellular vs Verizon

    I made that switch a few years back primarily because my new work provide was Verizon and I got a discount on the family stuff. My MIL and wife are on it, and so is our home phone. At the time I traveled frequently out of state and never had any coverage issues including northeast iowa. It was...

    Tournament committee considers in-season "reveal"

    You are such a negative nancy. Of course there wouldn't be 18001 bracketologists out there. This is amateur athletics and as such the NCAA will monetize this and they will be the only bracketologist. They will sell a sponsorship and it'll be the Amway or Advocare or Wal Mart 64. K-Mart will...

    Tomorrow the regent's universities will be partnering with the Iowa Donor Network to raise awareness for organ donation. There are approximately as many organs being waited for in the US as there will be people in Kinnick and Jack Trice tomorrow combined. There are about 559 organs being waited...

    Caring 4 Combatants

    Today a young man came to our door apparently in order to solicit money for "caring for combatants." He told my wife that they used the money collected to send care packages to troops over seas. She clearly was intentionally given the impression that it was a charity telling her that had two...

    Help Pollard pay the fine! Kickstarter

    Please read the first post. This isn't about helping Pollard at all. He's not even going to pay the fine. The University will.

    Help Pollard pay the fine! Kickstarter

    This is a good cause. So much of this stuff doesn't go to the researchers. We might consider the Iowa Donor Network too since Iowa State Athletics is doing some stuff with them. I'm sure most have seen the video. They will also be doing something before the November 1st Football game against...

    Pollard Calls Out Big 12 Officials

    The idiots on here claiming people are saying the refs lost the game for us just aren't paying attention. In sure a few people have said that (didn't read every page) (if people are saying that they would be similarly idiots) but the ones I saw were complaining about the quality of officiating...

    Travel trailers?

    Thanks for backing me. It was priced to move before winter and I can afford it. I'm pretty sure that not having a place to store it or a way to pull it doesn't make it the most well thought out decision. Neither does the fact that we've never camped before but I think the jury is probably out on...

    Travel trailers?

    Surprisingly I wasn't in trouble because it was as much of her impulse as mine, maybe more. My wife is not a camper. I have wanted one for a long time (well I really want a lake house at Okoboji but that's not happening). My 8 year old has been on a camper kick for about a year. Finally a few...

    Travel trailers?

    I have lots of buddies with trucks. I just hate to be that guy. And yes I'm aware that in a very 21st century way I literally put the cart in front of the horse.

    Travel trailers?

    I just bought a travel trailer a few weeks ago. It was a bit of an impulse. I can't actually store it at my house because of the covenants. I don't actually have a vehicle that will pull it. While I can find any number of storage places in the Ankeny area I'd love to hear any suggestions or...

    Top 10 MBB Recruit on Campus for Baylor Game

    No, no, no. They gave his dad a tractor in the movie. You've got it all wrong. You are going to screw this up for all of us if you give him a tractor.
