    First down and 18

    If it was during the play why wouldn't it be 1st and 25. There aren't spot PF's.

    That would make sense. I thought it was a PF for some reason. Thanks

    First down and 18

    Can someone explain to me how late in the forth quarter TT ended up in a 1st and 18 situation. As I saw it a play was run with a gain of 7. There was a PF penelty on the offense. I'm pretty sure the only options to follow this play are 2nd and 18 if it was during the play or 1st and 25 if...

    Rent Cyclone Bus for Wedding

    We hired the firetruck that leads the football team down the spirit walk. At the time the guy worked at Butches. Corner of Duff and L-Way. I think I still see the truck there from time to time. He wore a fire suit and was really cool about the whole thing

    Auto Accident - Diminished Value & Other Questions

    Others will disagree, but if there were no injuries I would deal directly with the other owner or their insurance company. Leave your insurance company out of it. Come up with a figure you can live with including rental car, reapirs ect and tell them thats your number. If you are 0% at fault...

    Locating property pins, Ankeny

    You can usually tell by the sidewalks. Unless the all the sidewalks were poured at once (not likely) there should be a cold joint between your sidewalk and your neighbors. You would generally see an expansion joint (black stuff 1/2" wide" at this junction.) If you find this point the...

    Realignment Tidbits from Saturday

    Thank you for posting this info in a new thread, I quit reading that mega thread a week ago and have been going to other sources for info because I don't want to read through 500 posts a day. I thought T. Boones interview was pretty interesting the other night during the OSU game. He seemed...

    Are Airplanes Really Messed Up By Electrical Devices

    They don't do anything to the plane. When I have had opportunities to fly private for work the crew always tells you that you are welcome to use any electronic devices, this includes cell phones. However cell phones don't tend to work very well because you are flying a lot faster then you...

    Conveniences to plan into new home construction

    I think the key phase here is "If you can find it". I have never seen Cat 7 and i'm not sure it is even manufactured yet. The current standard is Cat 6. You will find some Cat 6e which is even faster and some Cat 6a which is the fastest. Cat 6 is would be my recommendation but you will pay...

    Dumb electrical question-3 way

    You can leave the existing switch the way it is. The location where you removed a switch from needs to have two of the three wires tied together. If you remember which color screws the wires where on you need to tie the one that was on that black screw to one of the other two wires. Leave the...
