I'm selling an RF Universal Remote Control. Â New in box, never opened. Â Husband bought it, found different solution for our family room. Â Paid well over $100 for it.

Hmm, maybe your mail is just slow. Â I received a letter mid last week saying I would get the census within a week. Â The census arrived yesterday.

My father's side settled in Omaha after the completion of the Union Pacific transcontinental line in the late 1860's (that's how all the Irish ended up here), and mom's in the 1880's. Both sides moved to the city of South Omaha in the 1890's and were founding members of St Agnes' and later St. Mar...

Yeah, I think you can talk me into the entry level DSLR. Â We talked it over and although we'd miss the put it in your pocket and go convenience, picture quality is most important. So what are your recommendations on that? Â Also, are there classes in the area like a Intro to Photography? Â I want ...

We ended up getting the Fuji F200EXR. Â This camera took crapier pictures from the first one shot than the Olympus. Â Fuji said it probably has a bad sensor, so we are returning to B&H. Â This camera has been discontinued, so they are not exchanging it. Â Back to the drawing board. There is a Fu...

I reset the the factory settings this morning upon the recommendations with no change. Â So it is destined to become a toy for 2 and 3 yr olds and I get a new camera!

Thanks, for the suggestion. And to be safe, I will never put a camera on a tripod again :lol: .

The one at the Botanical Gardens looks like the ISO was turned all the way up. Another thing I noticed. See the how the bottom of the tree is bright and the top is dark, you flash is not powerful enough to get to the top of the tree. As far as the two outside Boudin, I would need to look at the E...

Thanks Brad. Â I think the fuji looks great. Â In fact, I talked to the director of my daughter's daycare about donating our old one and she said Rockbrook recommended the Fuji to her as well as bad experiences with the coolpix. I don't feel comfortable posting too many personal pics (esp of my daug...

Hi, wanting some advice... Our current camera an Olympus, is |expletive|, takes grainy pictures (have tried adjusting just about every setting) and needs to be replaced.

Anyone know what is going in at Valley View Village? The last bay that has been vacant forever between the coffee shop and Cellar 19 has been rented and they are starting the finishing work.

I am very certain that Sam & Louie's is open. Â Last night, there were TONS of cars in that parking lot and Sam and Louie's had a flashing neon sign that I looked like it said Open.

Thanks for the recommendations, but it appears that Dr. Patil doesn't perform Lumbar Spinal Fusion. Â Still would love info from those that have had the surgery or know someone that has.

Looking for feedback from those that have had or know someone that has had fusion of the discs on their experiences with their Neurosurgeon. Â Who was the Dr? Would you recommend?

I haven't ever used a iPhone, but have been a crackberry user since 2005. Â It has certainly come along way. Â Our company only uses AT&T for cell service and every employee that is approved for cell phone has a Blackberry. Â I will tell you one application I learned about earlier this year th...

Fair Trade refers to "artisans", farmer cooperatives, etc in developing countries that have direct partnerships with importers/wholesalers in Developed countries like the US (Europe has an extremely high support as well for fair trade). Â These artisans, farmers, etc are paid a "fair&...

I'm a little off-topic, but it would be great if North Downtown or the Old Market could score a "Fair Trade" store like Blue Summit on 120th. I like their business model---and it supports groups who truly need the revenue. Thread revival! Anyway, I would love to hear more about what you ...

Amen, brother. I thought the exact same thing. Solve the alleged age-ism issue and make everyone actually take a real test every 4 years or so. I agree.

For the past couple weeks, we have had big issues with them in our neighborhood. last week - never came to pick up YW or trash on scheduled day (not a holiday week either), came the next day this week - picked up YW late and picked up trash the next day For the many weeks up to now, they have been v...

I recommend Janine McClintock. Â She does a great job! Â Several friends of mine used her for wedding and family portraits, they all loved her.

I've got a friend who is a manager at Target in Omaha. Â She said that there is going to be a new target in CB. Â I've also heard Sears will be building a new store in CB too, but another friend who is a manager at a Sears hasn't heard anything about it. Â A relative of mine was also told that Shopk...

Hmm, Supper Thyme has been open for quite a while here in CB at Valley View Village, but I've never run into anyone that uses it. Never been by there when it's been open. The mother of a friend of mine runs the one in CB. Â They are typically only open in the evenings and on Saturdays, by appt. Â ...

Don't count on the Lake being as big as stated. Â A relative a mine owns most of the land around this subdivision. Â This lake would cause flooding on his land, and the corps of engineers agrees. Â There will be a lake, just not as big as described. There are already some homes built or being built ...

I ate at one of these in Dayton, OH. Â Was pretty good, despite my reluctance to enter a resturant with such a strange name and appearance. Â It was packed on a weeknight.

I suppose this will be a stand alone, or is it going in the empty strip mall?

A group of southwest Iowa farmers has announced plans to build a $135 million ethonol plant in Pottawattamie County as another market for their corn. The plant would produce 100 million gallons of ethonol a year and would employ 40 people. More details later. Pretty vague story at this point, but I...

I like the painting of the tree on that one building.

Sam's Italian Villa (3312 W Broadway St) is really small, so if you absolutely, positively cannot tolerate smoke, you just hope there are no smokers while you are there. :wink: Really though, I can't remember the last time I was there that the smoke got to me. The 'Italian' in the name should clue ...

A couple of weeks ago I heard that Wal-mart was going to build a "neighborhood" market store there. I didn't think it would really happen, but I guess it looks like its a go. Mainly, because I didn't believe the Ranch Bowl would close.

I went a ways down Broadway, and saw a total of two of those god awful looking No Frills Supercenters, Are these No Frills Supercenters really a good thing?

Thanks ice. In my defense, I haven't lived there for nearly 20 years. The school buildings themselves are outside the city limits, and the vast majority of the kids that go to school in the district do still live outside the city limits. But I'll admit, that's nitpicking. Actually, all Lewis Centra...
