    WTF? Why no DirecTV 657 SD?

    Sports Pack? I have the Premier Package (I get the sports pack at no additional cost) and this game is on 20+ channels (a couple channles were blacked out). IMHO the sports pack is ideal for any sports fan. If you do not have the Premier Package the cost is $13/month (you can cancel it when...

    Evil Fire Department

    I have been told by a Fire Chief, non-member fees as high as $1,500 per engine responding (not per hour) + $500 for each firefighter per hour, plus the cost of a non-member fee being $1,000. Break it down - On average you have 2 engines ($3,000), 8 firefighters for 4 hours ($16,000), $1,000...

    Evil Fire Department

    Here is my take on this. . . I bet he wishes he paid that $75 yearly fire protection fee now. To top it all off, people are mad at the fire department. . . Timothy Cranick, the owner’s son, was arrested for driving to the fire station and punching the fire chief. So much fail on the...

    DishNetwork losing FX?

    Re: Dish Network - Fox Sports removed When you take your business to any place do you always ask the owner if they donate to ISU? If they don't, do you always take your business elsewhere? John Dasher is the owner of McDonalds in Ames, Nevada, Story City, Boone, and Carroll Iowa. Do you...

    Lost Cell Phone - Can GPS Find It?

    For this to work, the person with the cell has to initiate contact (call into 911 dispatch). - 99% sure that if 911 calls the cell phone, they can't ping it. Futhermore, even if you have "E911 Only" or "Location On" (usually in the settings) the same rules apply. "Location On" allows the phone...

    Venues for a wedding/reception in the DM-Ames area

    If you consider Boone to be in the "Ames Area", we rented City View Reception Hall. Think we had 260 people in the building. IIRC, fire code said 300 was the max. They do not allow you to bring in your own alcohol, they provide the alochol (kegs are roughly $160, mixed drinks were $3-$5. Went...
