Dude - I'm not debating it either. It is significant, but does every spot that has a tragic event have to be "memorialized"? The WWII memorial has significance because there was a mitigating factor, Hitler and the attack on Pearl Harbor. This event does not, other than human / equipment error.

Questions. What makes this "hallowed ground"? Why should there be a memorial? Yes, something tragic happened here, but nothing sacred. There is no indication that there was an act of heroism (ie, Flight 93 - 9/11) that prevented something greater from happening. I would think that just a patch of green grass with some flowers and a simple marker is sufficient.

Plus, would you want to rebuild and live in the same location that your husband / father perished along with 49 others? Sorry, not me. Let the parcel go back to green.

Got to admit - one of your better avatars.

Clarence Center Fire Dept is only 5 houses away from site.

Rime ice being mentioned in some sources as a potential cause. Definition

Domestic: Q at The Salt Lick in Dripping Springs TX Int'l: Coq au vin Alsatian style at small neighborhood bistro in Paris this past fall.

Ryan and Kirwan on Sirius NFL show are not completely sold on Mack. I respect their opinions a lot. Saturday has to fit in the right scheme. I don't think he would be right here. Plus, he has a few years on his tread (approx 10yrs). Birk - I'd say yes.

Local weather dude is now saying that strong storms working through C'bus at the end of the day rush hour. Strong winds afterwards. Good luck!!

Let me know how you like the stadium and Columbus.

Weather forcast for Columbus. Just last week we were fighting through the after effects of about 8in of snow. Linky

I put my 13yo lab Tex down last Father's Day. Helped to some extent that our vet is a close personal friend and neighbor. Tex went through displasia and congestive heart failure towards the end with a pretty good rebound with some meds the previous fall. Tipoff was the rapid loss of appetite and loss of control in the house. Procedure is not fun by any stretch, but for all the unquestioned love she gave us it was the least that I could do to be there for her in her final moments. Her eyes told me that she was ready and understood. What Cincy said is spot on. Be understanding, to each other.

A good guacamole.

Jeez, why does this always breakdown to a "connection" thing? Find the best guy available and get on with it!

Sounds like tomorrows Obama-fest will be interesting. Couple of inches of snow forecasted for tonight with temps in the lower 30's tomorrow and winds 10-15mph, gusting to 25.

Watch "52 Pickup".

-8F in C'bus burbs. "Thankfully" not a cloud in the sky.

Take it. Option would be to have some sort of performance bonus baked in (% quality improvement over X time).

My 2 cents. I would re-think the market. Rather than residential roofing, what about commercial? When $ are tight most homeowners are going to defer the expense (Honey, we need to put off the new roof so that we can get the kids braces.). However, when a commercial building needs a new roof - if needs a new roof.

If you use the ShurLine paint edger just be careful that you might have a band at where you applied the paint. I "backrolled" the edging with a small roller to blend in the edge before rolling the wall.

I used to work for a company that built new electronic equipment and serviced out of date equipment for a variety of customers. I was transitioned to a "customer service manager" from a project manager. When I took on the new role I promised myself that I would provide the customer something extra. I initiated periodic status meetings with the customers. Content included order status, issue resolution, return material status, etc. I also would communicate shipping information (carrier, tracking number) when an order was shipped as the customer was responsible for the freight charges. Many of these customers where shocked at this and the level that I went into. Why are you doing this they asked? Because, if I roles were reveresed I would want this information. Many could not get over this idea. In fact, I was able to get some added service fees added to our contracts for this. It is not hard to do this. Just takes some time, attention to detail, and a commitment to your customer. Sorry for your issues with Dell. I would send a note(s) outlining your issue.

Paint used was Zolatone. S-W has a similar product, but is called something else - don't know the name. I had a friend apply the paint as it is not a "at home" process and there is a bit of technique involved. Clear sealant was then applied. Zolatone linky
