    Any Bowlers out there?

    It's all in the amount of games that you throw. Trust in what everyone has said so far, it takes time. I've been throwing a hook for 5 years and still dont have it down as I don't spend the time at the lanes like I need to. One league night per week only frustrates! Learn the lane oil...

    I AM SO PROUD OF THIS TEAM!

    VERY short memory as we need them to play like today for 2 more weeks. I, too, am very proud of this team and just down that we had so many opportunities and ended up with the L. They played with heart...that is all that I will ever ask of a Cyclone team as an alum and fan.

    Nice! Iowa State on Game Day!

    That was AWESOME!!!!!!! Watching the Marv Seiler run again (after being there in person) and of course how well they spoke about our coach and "one of the best scenes from college football last year"...that was just awesome. Thank you College Game Day!

    What's the last good book you've read?

    Excellent book...and you are so correct that it is hard to put down! It made a flight from Phoenix to Chicago a very short one...and I still ahve a long ways to go. I am kind of a history buff anyway and I have family from Wales, keeping me even more interested in the book! Highly recommended!

    Anyone else relieved?

    At least the fans were somewhat back to normal on sunday...the real fans were still sporting black and gold, and the rest were in hiding like normal, mad that they couldn't gloat all week. Kind of a nice day after a Hawkeye loss story...went to see my new niece yesterday, sporting my cyclone...

    Hate U of I, the football team, or the fans?

    +1 I come from the exact same situation with family, and have the same thoughts towards the U of I as an institution, team and fan base. Although...just last night, we piled into our minivan leaving a huge fireworks display in town. My cousins kid was wearing all black and gold, and got mad...

    Do you change your oil every 3000 miles?

    I know an engineer at Donaldson Filters that is running a Ford F150 to 15,000 miles between changes...he changes the filter at 7,500. Make sure you use a good synthetic and a good filter, and I would suggest changing the filter half way through.

    Max Towing Capacity

    Yes yes yes for the brake control...as one poster said it is against the law to go without one and is a huge safety concern for you. I have a Reese in my pickup towing a 21,000 lb. trailer and it works great. As for the hitch, if you want my opinion I would get a weight transfer hitch. With...

    Your best Honeymoon ideas

    Maui. You can do a full week out there for less than $4000 for both anymore, especially if you look around. Very romantic island, plenty of places to get away on your own. We stayed at the Kaanapali Beach Hotel north of Lahaina on Maui...would highly recommend it! Great rates, breakfast...

    XM Radio question

    I don't knoe about XM and the hardware, but if you are interested in listening to ISU football and basketball on satellite, Sirius is the way to go. I travel a lot for work and I can hear a game anywhere in the US.

    Your Cell Phone

    My company supplies us with iPhones...LOVE the phone but the service is the worst I have ever had. Great features and is super easy to use, but if you really want one wait until Verizon and one of the other carriers get them in late 2010.

    NSCR: Carl vs. Brad K - last night's Nationwide race

    I just watced the video...wished I would have been home to watch it live. Brad looks to have drifted into Carl just after the white flag was displayed...looked intentional to me to loosen him up and make the pass, a pretty normal move made on both pavement and dirt tracks these days. But we...

    21 Only Hurting Iowa City Bars

    But are they paying this to themselves? A lot of business owners own their building/property and rent it to their business...nice wy to pay yourself versus a larger salary. Would be interesting to find out.

    Are Extended Warranties Worth It?

    I bought a 1 year old Ford Taurus years back for business purposes...with the miles that I put on, the extended miles was worth it. It came in very handy...it cost me about $400 for the warranty but saved me in the end as I had problems with the power steering pump, which then too out the...
