Mizzou Football Links
Sometime this afternoon, one of the bigger -- if not the biggest -- official visits in Missouri's history begins. Some believe Dorial Green-Beckham has already made up his mind regarding his school of choice (though they disagree as to which school that is), but to say the least, a great visit will go a long way. We'll see what happens; I'm sure we'll be getting to-the-minute updates and rumors on Twitter and at PowerMizzou...

2 prior dui's makes it a felony
but there are many loophole’s as to what constitutes a prior dui. So just because someone has been arrested and plead guilty to dwi twice before, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the court will look at the next one as his 3rd.
But a 3rd dui would be a D felony, up to 4 years in prison and/or a $1,000.00 fine to the court.
4th is a C, up to 7 years
5th is a B, 5 – 15
If the prosecutor gets really creative, they can generally make any B felony an A felony by proving the person up as a prior and persistent felon (as well as a chronic offender for DWI). That would be 10-30 years or life in prison.

well it depends on what you mean by "fixed"
Back in the day, you could get a DWI reduced to a Careless and Imprudent driving.
Watch groups like MADD have applied enough political pressure on elected prosecutors that it doesn’t happen very much.
1st time DWI is a B misdemeanor. That’s up to 6 months in jail (not prison) and up to a $500 fine.
An attorney can very likely make it so you don’t spend a day in jail and probably aren’t convicted of the DWI (though you would plead guilty).
So the question would be, is avoiding jail time and a conviction having it “fixed”?
Keep in mind that avoiding a conviction does not necessarily mean it can’t be used against you for your 2nd DWI.
In Kansas, an attorney can get you a diversion on a DUI.
Busting Bill C since September 19, 2011 10:19 CST, 8:19 PDT.
fair enough...
i was just curious. most kids my age don’t really have a problem with being a multiple time offender and just make a mistake one night. so that’s what i’m familiar with.

I think that's absolutely how it's portrayed.
And to an extent, I understand it. Mizzou doesn’t threaten to pull in Top 10 recruiting classes, and they don’t exactly land many five-star kids, so I understand why people would initially assume that someone like DGB might go elsewhere. But the fact that people have completely and totally ignored Mizzou’s presence in this race, even as it has continued through the fall and winter, has been fascinating.

Curious thought:
Will the SEC move affect the amount of out-of-town Mizzou fans who attend home games? Obviously, total attendance will be boosted by the travel party of SEC teams, but will Mizzou fans who travel to one game a year opt to see a new SEC city rather than return to Columbia?

That's what I thought
It makes sense, I mean if you can only afford to make one game this year(if that), it’s going to be a lot easier for our DC contingent to go to the other Columbia or Athens, for example. I don’t know if that contingent is big enough to really notice in attendance numbers, and like CBonerfied notes there will always be the “come home” allure of going to a game at Faurot, so it would think to be a minor/personal thing for those folks.
by Transmogrified Tiger on Jan 27, 2012 9:17 AM CST up reply actions
I can say that as a Florida resident...
I will be attending the 2 games here (Gainesville and Orlando), but will not be able to make a trip back to CoMo. Although I was not guaranteed to be able to make it back for a game anyway this year. Not easy travelling anymore (my daughter will be 1 year old at the start of next football season).
Well
I live in Maine, and am fortunate enough to be able to afford travel. For my money, the can;t miss game this year is Georgia at home — summertime weather in Columbia, SEC debut, major early season clash. etc. (Might also do the Bama game, sans family).
In future years, I think it will depend on the schedule. No way am I missing our first game at LSU - but that might be 10 years away. Ole Miss, too. But honestly neither the Swamp nor UT seems that fantastic to me, so it will just depend on how things break down. It’s hard to underestimate the comfort of return trips to Columbia.
i think it could affect me
we live in co and usually attend 1 game in como each year (2011 being the exception, we went to the one state bball game in j-town instead).
i always enjoy visiting columbia, but i never really considered going to a road game except for in boulder.
i would be much more likely to visit athens or baton rouge or gainesville than the crap towns we used to go to.
i don’t know if it would be an either/or situation. depends on if we go to columbus for a game i guess
m-i-z... z-o-u!
Out-of-town alumni will always be drawn to CoMO
if it’s one or the other, I’m choosing a home game. However, if it’s more feasible to go to a road game that is closer than CoMO, I’d do that.
This is the way it typically goes
here lately I’ve only made Auburn games in Auburn or in Fayetville. If you can only go to one a year, you go to the closest, or you go home.

Will do then
Mine is nowhere nearly as well rounded as yours, but I has some great things.
If you are looking for a great ethnic/fancy cookbook, I have found a great one. It’s called “Luchow’s German Cookbook” by Jan Mitchell. It’s based off of the food of a historic, extremely up scale (though now defunct) German restaurant called Luchow’s in NYC. The recipes are a fantastic, though some of them are definitely directed toward a different palate (includes a lot of aspics and fish recipes that are definitely German). But man oh man are there some great, hearty (not in the grease and starch way) recipes.

I would be wary of apple butter that old
What we like to do with either chicken breasts or whole chickens, is marinate them in some cajun seasonings (i ilke slap ya mama) and then put on the grill. When your chicken is about half way done, use a brush and just slather the apple butter on. This will give you a good sweet crust on top of that deep spice that has soaked in. It is awesome!

We lived in Snoqualmie Ridge which was up in the mountains a little, but It’d be a dream to have a place somewhere on Union (maybe near ol’ B. Gates) sometime down the road.

My only complaint about Seattle is the housing market.
They were hit HARD by the recession. Case in point, we haven’t lived there in nearly 3 years, but still own the house there b/c we can’t sell it without taking a huge hit. Have a friend who is in the same boat. We’ve been renting the house out for the last 2 years, hopefully can try to move it in the near future, but not holding my breath.

our house in Fulton is still on the market
but word is things are starting to look up. Prices in the metro area have already started to rebound, if the radio isn’t lying. Outside of some of the really hard hit areas (Atlanta, Detroit), I think it’s going to start getting better. Also, I’ve been hearing that rents are starting to go up again now (landlord market right now). That will slowly start driving people back to buying, with the interest rates so low, and likely to stay low for some time.
The whole “20% down” really sucks.

I think we were hoping for something around 300-350, and the smaller floating homes were in the 425 and up.
Though I thought I did find a house boat for 325, it was something like 450 sq ft, with no bathroom. You had to have it in a mooring that offered full amenities on land. Which they have but….damn.
The one you post is freaken sweet though!! The garage door like thing opening up on the water.

wow
In belton, 325 will buy you 5000 sq feet and an in ground pool with some land.

Yep.
That’s one of the reasons we didn’t buy.
Just off the top of my head a house like what you posted, on say Queen Ann Hill (a hill just west of Lake Union) would by close if not over 1mil.

Kenmore Air! THAT's the name of that company.
I couldn’t think of it for the life of me. We took a ride in one of their planes several years ago. It was absolutely awesome.
That's awesome. We haven't done it yet 'cuz the wife doesn't trust it.
They start flying every weekday morning at 8am, and weekends at 9am.
I know I’m in trouble getting to work when I hear the first plane and I’m still in the Apt.

I'm going to try to post this pic. Kenmore Air is totally safe
I don’t undestand the uneasyness of flying with them.

by MarioVanPeebles Republic of China on Jan 27, 2012 1:45 PM CST up reply actions
Awesome pic.
The ride was amazing. Went around Rainier and the Sound. And it was very safe the whole time. Trust me, I’ve been on a LOT more sketchy sea planes than Kenmore’s (see: Alaska bush planes).
Totally agree. I think it would be awesome.
I really want to do it. The wife does not.

Just let her know the facts...
It is statistically safer to fly that it is to drive. ESPECIALLY in the Seattle area.
Dont forget that shes not allowed to have any Dr. Pepper 10!

So, St. Pats is on a saturday this year
And I have convinced the wife to spend the day in CoMo. It is also the first day of the 2nd round of the NCAA tourny. Heres hoping Mizzou plays that day, so that the wife will be forced to watch MU b-ball with me at harpos.

Well, I was aware of the rugby team's love of McNally's
The love of McDonald’s doesn’t exactly surprise me though.

Haha I was joking, but yes we are quite fond of that little establishment
And Hey! That’s an OLine joke, not a rugby joke. Proud to say I haven’t had McDonald’s in months
