I dunno it just seems the OK conference HQ should be in a different area I guess.

I hate to say it but it sounds to me like SSC, RSC needs the UICA more then the UICA needed them. I just think its so odd that RSC would push so hard for UICA to come in, couldn't they have found easier profitable tenants faster? Or is this more of a preemptive strike on the area 5 potential development?

Zeeland secretary might be rehired. I really have to wonder why the school felt so much remorse over firing someone who couldn't do their job... Whats disturbing is that the OK conference is ran out of Hudsonville... something tells me that school's best interests aren't being fully represented here.

I'd like to see a day where Wal-Mart has to pull out of the Midwest just like it had to pull out from Germany.

She'd go to the click pen, if her insurance would get off their a**es and approve it already. We've had to fight tooth and nail just to get any support out of them I guess one of the big concerns is they don't make cartridges for Humalog, which is what she uses now (along with Lantus) Its finally to the point we can get something out of them, and move her to a better delivery system. But my mother definitely doesn't want a pump, she is adamant about that.

I'm sorry about that, didn't know its been asked already (And I'm one who normally looks for this answer) I still want to know why that cat has no legs

I have a question for those who know, can BRT lanes be easily adjusted to Street Car lanes? Or would it be better to bite the bullet, and go full hog on Street cars? I gotta say http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Strasbourg-tram.jpg that looks cool, and I'd love to see it in GR someday. Infact I kinda hope that someday we too will have tram-only lanes in GR. some of the less trafficed roads one or two blocks off of the big ones would make great tram-only streets. edit: Where is that cat's legs?

I'd never say anythings foolproof, theres going to be someone somewhere that will not know how to do something

Well my mother has Type 1, shes been living with it since she was 12. So I've been giving her shots since I was like 6 or 7, so my fear of needles vanished the day I realized: "Hey my mom does this everyday, and I'm a boy and I can't do it? Time to be tough mister." (I'm paraphrasing using my 6 year old logic) I quickly got over the fear, and now that shes much older, and although can giver herself shots still, its more difficult with some of the problems that come with being diabetic for 30 years (loss of sensation in the extremities, retina degeneration which made her partially blind, etc.) I still help out whenever I can, but my dad's still more then capable of helping her, which is a great thing to have. If you talked to my grandmother, she could give you some insight on whats to come though GRDad luckily I have had such a great teacher when it comes to handling a type 1 diabetic. Can't beat her level of experience Luckily with today's technology your daughter is going to come out much better. diabetic training in the 60s and 70s was much less sophisticated then it is today. Knowing what my mom goes through, and has gone through for so long makes it much easier to give blood, take IVs, etc. I once was giving blood, and they couldnt get my veins to go and they said "we can put it in your hand if you like" and I said "letter rip!" imagine sticking a needle between your bottom index and middle finger knuckles... didn't even bother me a bit

I found this article to be particularly fascinating, mostly because I was doing this for years while I was at home: When I was at home I was giving my mother 2-3 shots of insulin a day! Even when she was down because of surgical recovery for a couple weeks we were having neighbors come by and giving her insulin shots daily, these people weren't even trained to do it. I'm not "trained" to do it either, but I bet I'm just as good as any nurse would be since I had to do it for nearly 15 years. Its such an easy thing to do though, and to read this article just made me giggle!

They could still be the Lakers, just not the GVSU lakers, instead they'd be the MSU-Grand Rapids Lakers anyways I was just kidding when I posted that

Think this could have a future in GR? http://thehighwayinthesky.us/frames.htm

Oh GVSU, and MSU should just merge, and have GVSU be a sattellite campus for MSU. [/shocking]

You'd think with everyone huddled up in home to escape the weather it'd be busier

That smell is fish carcasses, and their umm "left overs" Its 100% natural!

they count too. but still avoiding those menus is a win-win if possible.

ACK! they still use those annoying pop up menus... Any seasoned web designer will tell you those are bad bad bad!!!

Who wouldn't love a fanny farmer store in downtown GR again? (I know I would, if only for giggles)

I think it's just some stock figure skating footage thrown into the trailer. I don't think they were here in town.

Van Andel Arena makes it into a movie trailer: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=41...Blades+of+Glory Looks funny.

MSU Med school slated to be named after Peter Secchia according to WOOD TV

Not so fast there man, by the time the DeVos Children's hospital gets a tower crane I would think the JW crane, and possibly the GRAM crane would be taken down.

Last time I parked there I was able to put money into it

Multi-level-parking I tend to make acronyms for things that don't need them. Why I feel its needed is because I'm thinking if you have one MLP Ramp, you could eliminate two or three surface lots. I would think by automated it is like the gate at the surface lot off of Fulton at Plaza Towers (where Kinko's is) I would imagine.

I find it odd that this ramp was deemed news orthy today but: http://www.wzzm13.com/news/local/grmetro_a...x?storyid=68012 After having an interview in this area of town, I can see why it desperately needed some MLP.
