Online company based out of Colorado with California Employees
by JBanks, Window Shopper
- Created: January 22, 2011, 7:33 pm
I have received conflicting information and I am hoping for a straight answer. My business is an online company, we create websites for creative professionals. The product we make is built in CO and we are a registered business in CO but we employ people in CA. The employees in California help us with bookeeping and customer support. We have registered as an employer in CA but we have not registered as a business.
We were told by our original accountant that if we are not creating a product in CA we did not need to register as a business there but we are now being told that we need to. Here is the quote we were given by our CO accountant:
'Corporations that organize in California, register in California, conduct business in California, or receive California source income, must file California Form 100.'
Unfortunately, I did not study tax law and cannot make heads or tails of this and our accountant does not seem to know anymore than we do.
With as aggressive as CA is with their taxes we would of course prefer not to pay taxes to both states for registering our business. Any advice out there?
phanio | Contributor | 3/23/2009 - 5:02 pm
I would change my relationship with the CA employees. Fire them then hire them back as contractors - just make sure you treat them as contractors. Will save you tons of money and headache. Good article on Articlebase: http://www.articlesbase.com/entrepreneurship-articles/reduce-your-payroll-costs-with-contractors-645808.html
NutriDoc | Window Shopper | 5/26/2009 - 12:17 pm
Our company is based in North Carolina, yet will be contracted to deliver services in California, thereby engaging vendors and insurance requirements in multiple states. After researching HR company organizations, I located one that met the reporting standards that we will be needed in order to 'grow' our business, when we take out contract model to other states with their own laws. Please visit TriNet.com, who has met company standards, has compent quoting data, and excellent customer service. Karim N, is my contact there. To meet our company ethical standards, we built into the quote, a cost for medical services, albeit tests, premiums, etc, to be paid to our 'vendors'. This was important since our vendors are health care providers and would like to be able to 'choose' their own providers/insurance.
ITsTaxTime | Performer | 3/19/2009 - 12:21 pm
Based on my understanding of Colorado with California Employees, Colorado please correct me if I am wrong you are not doing business meaning selling products or services in California you have employees who perform administrative services for you company (i.e. bookkeeping etc) but live in California. So if my understanding is correct of your business you would not be liable for sales tax because you are not selling any products or services in California and you are not a franchise correct me if I wrong if that is true there would be no franchise tax.
BobK | Community Administrator | 3/20/2009 - 7:16 am
There are some issues you will need to address with your accountant for your particular circumstances. You will be subject to California employment taxes. If you sell your product in California, you will be required to collect California sales taxes, but you'll need to obtain a Seller's Permit first form the Board of Equalization. If you or your accountant have specific questions about your situation, I recommend contacting the Board directly. The franchise tax in California is a tax imposed on corporations (not necessarily a tax on franchises). Basically, the law is that if you are a corporation derving income from doing business in California you need to pay a corporation tax. So, the question for your accountant is if you are derving any income from the work your company is doing in California. Check out the Form 100 Booklet for more information about the corporation/franchise tax. If you feel you don't have all the answers, you can always contact the California Franchise Tax Board directly. Message Edited by BobK on 03-20-2009 07:17 AM
ITsTaxTime | Performer | 3/19/2009 - 12:24 pm
Additional thought, however, if your are selling products in services in California you would be liable for sales taxe but probably not franchise tax or less you have a franchise in California.
JoeGamer | Creator | 6/17/2009 - 4:40 am
DO NOT Forget to file your payroll taxes / your own Social Security taxes. Otherwise you could end up with trouble from the IRS. Even if you're self employed you need to pay social security.
ITsTaxTime | Performer | 3/14/2009 - 6:15 pm
Let's clarify somethings to ensure that I understand your situation 1. Your business is located physcially in CO, and registered as a business in CO. Question - What is your business entity? 2. You have employees in CA but they do no do business in CA, they are the adminstrative support. According to my research you do not need to register your business in CA because you are not physically located or doing business in CA you are based in Co and doing business in CO. However you do have to register as an employer in CA because you have CA employees and you have to pay payroll taxes for California they are: Unemployment Insurance (UI) is paid by employers. UI provides temporary payments to individuals who are unemployed through no fault of their own. Employment Training Tax (ETT) is paid by employers. ETT provides training funds to empower workers, promote business and boost California's economy. State Disability Insurance (SDI) is deducted (withheld) from employees' wages. SDI provides temporary payments to workers who are unable to perform their usual work because of a pregnancy or a nonoccupational illness or injury (work-related disabilities are covered by workers' compensation). Beginning January 1, 2004, SDI also includes Paid Family Leave (PFL), which provides benefits to workers who need to care for a seriously ill family member or to bond with a new child. California Personal Income Tax (PIT) is withheld from employees' wages and credited toward the amount due for the employees' annual California state income tax. Elective Coverage is offered to specific types of individuals and classes of employees who are excluded from UI and/or SDI. These can include: self-employed individuals; sole proprietors, husband/wife co-ownerships and certain family members working for them; partners; certain categories of workers for nonprofit organizations; SDI for employees of public entities; and school districts. For specific information, call EDD's toll-free number (888) 745-3886 or visit your nearest Employment Tax Office. Should you register your business in California you would then be responsible for CA taxes on your business since you are not a CA based business why would you register you business there. I found this site and others very helpful in my research http://www.taxes.ca.gov/newbus.shtml, www.deborahchew.com/start.html and cch state tax master guide for California and ColoradoI hope this answers you question. I am not an West Coast tax practitioner but I enjoyed the tax law research.
CutCompCosts | Contributor | 5/29/2009 - 8:42 pm
You definitely will be required to file payroll tax returns in CA. Forms 940 and 941. I think there's another one I just don't remember of the top of my head. I would recommend using an agency to hire your employees through. Either some type of temp or employee leasing agency if you are required to have them in CA. One less headache to deal with. I don't recall what the laws are regarding sales tax if you don't have a physical location in CA. Some states require you to collect sales tax regardless.

NVidia driver 4496, GeForce4 MX 440 gfx problems
I'm experiencing display problems with OpenGL fullscreen apps since I upgraded to the latest 4496 driver on Linux: The bottom right corner of the screen shows random bits.
Previous version of the driver had no problem. Downgrading to the previous version 4363 indeed fixes the problem.
2D Gfx has no problem. Problem shows in games like UT2003 or ET.
The video BIOS version is :
Model: GeForce4 MX 440
Video BIOS: 04.17.00.61.23
Card Type: AGP
The computer is a Shuttle with a 2.5MHz Pentium4 CPU. The motherboard is based mainly on SiS components (Host bridge SiS651)
I'm running kernel 2.2.22-ac1 but previous versions showed the same problem too.
Any idea how I could fix this problem (other than downgrading the driver :)
Thanks in advance,
Yeah - I'm still having the same issues.... Is what you're having something like this:
...and they kinda move and are more and less visible depending on what is being rendered.
It's much harder to see in the second image... The same thing happens with UT2003, and all other 3D games as well. Anything beyond the 4463 series, and you get this... So I've stuck with the 4463 for some time...
This is going to be a hard one when I try to upgrade to the 2.6 kernel! I've tried to see if using the Debian kernel modules (in apt) but as they're still based on the 4496, things don't work!
Athlon 1800XP, 256MB DDR333 RAM
Leadtek Winfast A170 PRO TH (64MB NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 460)
Debian Sid, with custom 2.4.22 kernel build
1 Attachment(s)
i have the same problem :(
linux kernel 2.4.18
geforce4 mx 440
athlon 1800+ xp
xfree86 4.1.0
this problem seems to have been deprecated by the 1.0-5328 release of the nvidia drivers. yay!

Atmospheric RG LED
The ADJ Atmospheric RG LED is a laser light show in a box. The features offered within can be used by the professional or the DJ that is just starting out. With durable metal housing and quality manufacturing, you can be assured that you are getting a great deal. The Atmospheric RG LED, from American DJ, creates a psychedelic atmospheric effect from unique "web type" red and green laser patterns and a dark blue LED wash all built into one case.
Vibrant Green, red, and dark blue LEDs will look great projected on a wall, floor, or ceiling. The Atmospheric RG LED offers a wide range of motion through its 70 degree (laser) and 66 degree (LED) beam angles. Even with the size and power this unit puts out, it only takes up 13W of power. The Atmospheric RG LED can be ran out of the box using the sound active mode with the included built in programs. If you want to customize it yourself, there are 2 DMX channels and 1/4" input for the optional UC3 remote control.
The Atmospheric RG LED also operates in Master/Slave or DMX modes. It features a digital DMX display for easy navigation. Users can also use the UC3 easy-to-use controller (sold separately). This laser is approved by the FDA.

Petron plans to raise more funds via securities issuance
popular .
Petron Corp., the country's largest oil refiner and distributor, is set to issue dollar-denominated securities to raise additional funds, on top of the $500 million it raised in February this year.
In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange on Wednesday, Petron said it "expects to offer additional securities which, upon issuance, will be fungible and consolidated with the securities issued by the company on Feb. 6, 2013, to form a single series."
Petron was able to raise $500 million from the sale of perpetual bonds. It priced the hybrid capital notes at 7.5 percent a year after a "well-received" road show in Asia and the United Kingdom.
To serve as joint bookrunners and lead managers for the new issuance will be HSBC, Deutsche Bank, Standard Chartered Bank and UBS.
In a text message, Petron chairman Ramon S. Ang said the proceeds from the issuance would be used for the company's expansion program. He, however, did not indicate the amount the oil company was planning to raise from the reopening of the dollar securities.
For this year, Petron has earmarked P51.9 billion for its consolidated capital expenditures, as it moves to further strengthen its foothold in the local and Malaysian oil markets.
Of the planned capital spending, 72 percent, or P37.37 billion, would be allocated for the implementation of the Refinery Master Plan 2 (RMP-2), which is aimed at upgrading the oil firm's 180,000-barrel-per-day refinery in Limay, Bataan.
Another 13 percent, or P6.75 billion, will be used for the company's cogeneration power plant project, which will generate 140 megawatts by 2014.
The $500-million facility will serve the oil refinery's current and expected future electricity and steam requirements and is expected to reduce the company's refining costs.
Another 2 percent (P1.04 billion) will be earmarked for retail service station network expansion in the Philippines; 1 percent (P519 million) for enhancing the facilities at the Port Dickson Refinery; and 3 percent (P1.56 billion) for the rebranding and refurbishing of Petron's retail service station network in Malaysia.
Petron did not indicate where the remaining 9 percent would be spent.

Daniel Cicero's Sketchbook, (16 years and onward)
Hi CA!
My name is Daniel Cicero in I am 16 years old, live in Australia and love drawing. I basically have the dream and goal of working as a concept artist at Blizzard entertainment and to achieve this once I complete my art degree in about 6 years. From here on this will hopefully serve as a progression of my artwork until the day I become a concept artist for Blizzard.
Construstive critisism and suggestions would be greatly appriciated.
Thankyou for visiting my post and I hop you enjoy it

Welcome to CA, glad to see another teen. I laughed when I read your first post because I have the same goal as you. To work as a concept artist for Blizzard. Well, I know you haven't posted much, but from what I can see you'll need some work. Keep doing those anatomy studies and don't forget to draw from life. I hope to see your progression

Keep up a good drawing! =)

thankyou so much aLDoDarK
June 17th, 2010 #16
Nice to see you getting a early start.
About the blizzard thing you might want to modify your goal to something less specific, maybe to just be the best character designer you can be or something and if you so happen to get a job at blizzard great, if not, you could just wind up as a artist for some other cool studio. The goal should be more on the craft than a Specific place of employment, but its good to have goals though and the only reason I mention it is because its something that comes up a lot.
I have a couple links in my sig to some good tutorials .
Some specific links
Another link to loomis(already mentioned) if you dont already have it.
Some creature design/anatomy stuff
Some good stuff on perspective
Bobby chiu great for getting motivated
Above all else just draw everyday keep consistent and you'll always improve.
Dont waste time and practice everything you can from life,photo, and imagination as much as you can.
Keep at it.

I think your focusing way to much on detail, you can't hide a bad foundation with lots of detail, you lack of knowledge anatomy and pose shows through like a bright light in the dark. Get some Andrew Loomis and George Bridgman books those should help you

well I thought I had improved a great deal in a matter of a month.
Yes I know my anatomy could be better, but it is improving but I dont believe there is anything wrong with adding details, it can only help right?
August 18th, 2010 #27
This is a work in progress, please leave a comment to let me know how I am going, I would really appreciate it. Thanks guys

Support-vector networks
- Corinna Cortes,
- Vladimir Vapnik
- … show all 2 hide
Thesupport-vector network is a new learning machine for two-group classification problems. The machine conceptually implements the following idea: input vectors are non-linearly mapped to a very high-dimension feature space. In this feature space a linear decision surface is constructed. Special properties of the decision surface ensures high generalization ability of the learning machine. The idea behind the support-vector network was previously implemented for the restricted case where the training data can be separated without errors. We here extend this result to non-separable training data.
High generalization ability of support-vector networks utilizing polynomial input transformations is demonstrated. We also compare the performance of the support-vector network to various classical learning algorithms that all took part in a benchmark study of Optical Character Recognition.

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 11/17/14
Terry Francona spent Friday in Cleveland interviewing for the Indians' vacant managerial job. Francona formally met with members of the team's front office and scouting and player development departments at Progressive Field, according to MLB.com. Sandy Alomar Jr. interviewed with the club Thursday. "Just looking at Terry, he's obviously had a lot of success," Indians general manager Chris Antonetti said Thursday. "He's won two world championships. He's also had success in developing players." Francona and Antonelli were not immediately available for comment Friday. Francona and Alomar are the only publicly-announced candidates so far. The Indians fired Manny Acta on Sept. 27 and Alomar finished the season as the interim manager. Cleveland may name a manager as early as Monday or Tuesday. Because the playoffs have started, the team must coordinate making an announcement with Major League Baseball's Commissioner's Office if it makes the hire before the World Series ends. ...

A Fresh Bioinformatics Breeze Is Blowing...
There is an initiative under way to revamp the way FDA approaches orphan drug development that goes above and beyond the 1983 Orphan Drug Act. The 2010 Brownback/Brown amendment was created as a market-based approach to address rare and neglected diseases by incentivizing biotech and pharmaceutical companies to invest in drugs for these conditions.
The first push to incentivize drug companies to develop therapies for orphan diseases, the 1983 U.S. Orphan Drug Act, was focused more on the economic incentives for drug development as market size was inherently limited. Companies were given seven years of data exclusivity, approval application fee waivers, and tax credits for up to 50% of R&D costs.
The Brownback/Brown amendment requires formation of an FDA team that will submit a report to Congress by March 11, 2011. The document is supposed to cover current issues regarding development as well as approval of therapies for rare and neglected diseases. As per the Brownback/Brown amendment, FDA held an open public hearing to gather suggestions.

Win a Rockin' Guitar-Pick Pet Tag for Your Cat's Collar
If your cat's purr sounds like music to your ears (or should we say mewsic?), then maybe it's time to start thinking about your cat like the musician he clearly is, and make sure he has the proper accessories to go with his rockin' reputation.
Think about it: He meows perfect melodies and scratches out tunes on his cat scratcher. He purrs for percussion (Purrcussion? Sorry, had to!) and sometimes hisses for effect.
What he needs is a guitar-pick pet tag to go along with the act!
Kathy of KatsPickJewelry has always had a passion for live music, and she's collected guitar picks over the years. She looked at them as little pieces or art -- and now she's making wearable art with them for you and your kitty!
One lucky Catster reader will win one of these funky guitar pick pet tags from KatsPickJewelry. They come with different charms, and at 1-and-a-quarter-inch by 1 inch, they're the perfect statement piece for your cat's collar. You wear nice jewelry -- your cat should, too!

I picked up my buddies 2011 Boxxer RC off his new Demo. It has the red spring that feels a little stiff for me with my 160lb weight. So I was thinking of changing the spring to a softer rate but noticed on eBay:
35mm BoXXer WC Air Spring Assembly | eBay
Would this for the most part convert the RC to a Worldcup? If not what is the best upgrade that I could do to this fork besides changing to a softer spring. I like a plush ride. Thoughts?

Phase I/II Study of Neoadjuvant Lapatinib in Breast Cancer
Basic Trial Information
|Protocol IDs
|Phase II, Phase I
|Biomarker/Laboratory analysis, Treatment
|18 to 70
Trial Description
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, fluorouracil, epirubicin, and cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Lapatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as trastuzumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Giving these treatments before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. Giving trastuzumab after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of docetaxel and lapatinib when given with or without combination chemotherapy and to see how well they work in treating women with locally advanced, inflammatory, or resectable breast cancer.
Further Study Information
- Determine the maximum tolerated dose of neoadjuvant therapy comprising docetaxel and lapatinib ditosylate before or after fluorouracil, epirubicin hydrochloride, and cyclophosphamide (FEC chemotherapy) in patients with HER2-positive locally advanced, inflammatory, or large resectable breast cancer. (Phase I)
- Determine the safety of this regimen in these patients. (Phase I)
- Determine the pathological complete response rate in patients treated with neoadjuvant docetaxel and lapatinib ditosylate followed by FEC chemotherapy, and with neoadjuvant docetaxel and trastuzumab (Herceptin®) followed by FEC chemotherapy. (Phase II)
- Determine the biological activity (i.e., changes in apoptosis and proliferation markers [PTEN mutation and function, pAkt, mTOR, and associated proteins]) of neoadjuvant docetaxel and lapatinib ditosylate in these patients. (Phase I)
- Determine adverse events or biological modifications. (Phase I)
- Determine the tolerability of these regimens in these patients. (Phase II)
- Determine the clinical activity of these regimens. (Phase II)
- Identify genes that may predict response in patients treated with docetaxel and lapatinib ditosylate. (Phase II)
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter, open-label, phase I dose-escalation study of docetaxel and lapatinib ditosylate followed by a randomized phase II study. Patients enrolled in the phase II portion of the study are stratified by institution and disease status (locally advanced disease vs large operable tumor).
- Phase I (completed as of 5/26/2010): Patients receive docetaxel IV over 1 hour on day 1 and oral lapatinib ditosylate once daily on days 1-21. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for 4 courses. Two additional courses may be given at the discretion of the physician.
- Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of docetaxel and lapatinib ditosylate until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which at least 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity (DLT).
- Phase I bridge step (completed as of 5/26/2010): Patients receive FEC chemotherapy comprising fluorouracil IV over 15 minutes, epirubicin hydrochloride IV over 60 minutes, and cyclophosphamide IV over 60 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for 3 courses. Patients also receive docetaxel and lapatinib ditosylate as in phase I at the MTD for up to 3 courses.
- Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive de-escalating doses of docetaxel and lapatinib ditosylate in combination with FEC chemotherapy until the MTD is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience DLT.
- Phase II: Patients are randomized to 1 of 3 treatment arms.
- Arm I: Patients receive docetaxel and lapatinib ditosylate at the MTD as in the bridge step of phase I followed by FEC chemotherapy.
- Arm II: Patients receive docetaxel IV over 60 minutes and trastuzumab (Herceptin®) IV over 30-90 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15. Patients then receive FEC chemotherapy as in the bridge step of phase I. Treatment with docetaxel and trastuzumab repeats every 3 weeks for 3 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
- Arm III: Patients receive docetaxel IV over 60 minutes, lapatinib ditosylate at the MTD as in the bridge step of phase I, and trastuzumab (Herceptin®) IV over 30-90 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15. Patients then receive FEC chemotherapy as in the bridge step of phase I. Treatment with docetaxel, lapatinib ditosylate, and trastuzumab repeats every 3 weeks for 3 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
All patients then undergo surgery to remove the tumor. Patients may then receive trastuzumab every 3 weeks for 1 year.
Blood samples are collected at baseline and periodically during study for pharmacokinetic studies. Patients also undergo tumor biopsies at baseline and periodically during study for laboratory studies. Blood and tissue samples are analyzed by quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction for biomarker profiling (HER1-3, Akt 1-3, mTOR, RICTOR, RAPTOR, CCND1, p21, survivin, PTEN), immunohistochemistry, fluorescent in situ hybridization (TopoII, HER2), and proteomics.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 150 patients will be accrued for the phase II.

..... "You are relieved of command."
..... Standing on the bridge of her new command, she felt the eyes of the other officers on her. To her left stood Besuhar Nana, her Lieutenant pips bright and shiny. To her right was T'Carr, cool and composed as always, even when in combat.
..... The Commander nodded and smiled at her. "This is a really fine ship. I'll be sad to go."
..... "I understand you'll be taking some key officers with you?"
..... "Well, the Admirable did lose quite a bit of staff in her last run. I'll have to heal what I can with what I have."
..... "Of course. My First Officer and my Tactical Officer join me from the Göttingen. I have come to rely on them and cannot imagine trusting another at this time. And not with where I will take the Cologne."
..... Commander Houghton nodded slowly and lowered his voice a bit. "Keep an eye on Ensign Valik, from Engineering. He is gunning for a promotion and he has been nothing but direct and helpful."
..... It was T'Carr who replied. "Is he capable in his ambition?"
..... Houghton nodded to her trusted second in command. "Very much so. He managed to enhance the energy transfer routing from Auxiliary to Shields while under heavy fire. He stuck himself down a Jeffries Tube to get the job down and came out with second-degree plasma burns. We've not had to worry about shields since that day."
..... The tilting of her head and court nod spoke volumes for the Vulcan. She was impressed.
..... Houghton smiled and turned back to Her. "Captain, with your permission, I'd like to leave to the Admirable now."
..... "Permission granted. Godspeed."
..... She waited a few minutes, dismissing her First and Second Officer to the bridge first. As she then followed out onto her new bridge, an Ensign bellowed "Captain on the Bridge!" and the staff rose.
..... Knowing that each pair of eyes and ears was on her, she strode to the center chair and sat down. After a moment, she tapped a panel on the armrest.
..... "Computer: Record log entry. Captains Log. Supplemental. I have taken command of the U.S.S. Cologne today. I already am impressed with the efficiency and the protocol that is followed. I have already gotten the names of promising officers and I am looking forward to observing them as they grow and follow up through the ranks. For now, I will tour the ship and introduce myself and the ships new First and Second Officer. We may have been send here by Starfleet Command, but this does not mean that we cannot ensure a smooth start. End Entry......
Oh, and Computer: Schedule a reminder. Protocol review. Invite senior staff and ask them to bring overviews of previous protocol and current Starfleet standard protocol." She smiled at Nana. "Some things like having everyone stop what they are doing when I come to the bridge can be reviewed, I think."

I personally love Goldstar - Skyline's taste just isn't as good.
Goldstar > Skyline. Too bad the Reds picked the wrong official chili

I personally love Goldstar - Skyline's taste just isn't as good.
Goldstar > Skyline. Too bad the Reds picked the wrong official chili
Goldstar, I don't like Skyline for 2 reasons, it's more runny then goldstar, and I don't like cinnamon :D
Skyline...which I can actually get in NE Ohio. Just had some for lunch today!
Skyline hands down.
Camp Washington Chili.
Skyline on Ludlow. Nothing beats it.
My family owns and runs a Skyline, so I am a bit partial. For what its worth, people love what they are used to, and to most that is Skyline. As to the Reds dropping Goldstar for Skyline, it was the other way around. As far as I know, Goldstar refused to renew the contract. Its all for the better, on opening day of the Reds chili switch, chili sales more than doubled any day Goldstar had ever had.
We go to Goldstar more, but mostly because their locations seem to be more convenient. I like Skylines too. Skylines chili sauce is little more cinnamony but that's about it really.
Going to a Skyline restaurant is more of the Cincinnati chili experience whereas Goldstar of more fast food-ish.
Skylines table hot sauce is lot hotter that Goldstar's so I have to remember that. More than once, I've doused my 3-way with really hot sauce (I love hot sauce) and paid for it :eek:
I've got my kids trained now to eat the oyster crackers before the chili comes with a little dot of hot sauce on top of each.
I like them both.
None of them are here, so it's frozen Skyline from Wal-Mart if I do crave it.
The coney bites are pretty good.
Blue Ash Chili
Then Goldstar
Skyline - 'nuff said! :thumbup:
What's the 3rd choice?
Originally Posted by MWM

I had never heard of Skyline until I moved to Columbus. First time I had it I was hooked. Then we moved to Cincinnati, and I had Gold Star.
There should be Skyline, and/or Gold Star nationwide! (and Marion, IN) :D

Customer Reviews:
Rated 4.9 out of 5�by 12 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by CVS68 Great balance and excellent eye alignmnet! Liked the feel of this putter from the moment I picked it up at the store to try it out! Once the eye alignment was checked I purchased it without putting it down. Worked even better than expected on the greens, the eye alignment fit really improved my putting. April 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Gmoney94 Great Putter Love the feel of this putter and the early roll off of the face. The extra weight of this putter gives me the touch I have been looking for. I tend to leave putts online and short, this putter helps me finish my putts by being just a bit heavier. I also like the fact this putter has the center mark on top of the blade as opposed to the back. It helps me "see" the line easier if you will. Overall a great putter for my game, helps me save probably 2 strokes per round on average and bring my handicap to a 3. Definitely worth the money May 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Jeff Awesome putter Could not go wrong with this choice! Great value and has a very nice stroke! Would strongly recommend to a friend. May 21, 2013

Actually, four others would be able to say that, Hill and Barrichello even managed to do it TWICE. So once again, DC's legacy falls just short of anything unique.
