DRY STONE WALL - QUALITY WORK PLACES LARGER STONES AT THE TOP

Submitted by Jeff Buster on Sun, 03/20/2011 - 21:12.

The most difficult stones to place on the top of a stone wall are the larger stones.  But to hold the wall together you need the larger stones on the top. 
Today, with hydraulic loaders and other fancy lifting equipment, you will see the small stones on the top. 

Observation: the more difficult the physical construction, the better the quality of the work.

A CAREFULLY MANICURED SET OF FACTUAL PREMISE DO NOT NECESSARILY AMOUNT TO TRUTH

Submitted by billduff on Sun, 03/20/2011 - 06:15.

Certainly, in order for truth to exist, all impacting factual premise must be considered before the truth can be discovered.  Anything less can only be conjecture.  While it is true that the Evelyn Schwartz matter should not and could not  be settled in this forum it is also true that using this forum to describe the injury caused Evelyn for the edification of its participants is a reasonable endevor.  We all need to be made aware of the nature of the illness in our society so that we may navigate around it.  Evelyns story is such a bouy.  The facts, all of the

Sunbelt Construction gets to Demo houses in Cleveland, Ohio too...

Sunbelt Construction

Interesting how our local government ascertained millions of dollars to demo most of Cleveland's blight and now carpetbagging contractors are in from as far away as Kentucky to do the work while local persons are out of work!

Our great City leadership should be assessing these contracts and soliciting local contractors for this work!

What part of the City of Cleveland planning commission's 2020 vision is helping our lifelong residents?

Pretty amazing what can be done with totally amateur imaging equipment these days.   From the back porch to the computer and then onto the web.

Almost at no cost.  Check out the material tracks out of the crater on the lower right hand side.  Well at least Japan hasn't been hit with a meteor like this.

"Rather than ponder moral questions like, 'Why can't we all get along?' Dr. Page asks practical ones like, 'How can we all be more productive together?' The answer, he suggests, is in messy, creative organizations and environments with individuals from vastly different backgrounds and life experiences."--Claudia Dreifus, New York Times

JOINT EPA/DOE STATEMENT: Radiation Monitors Confirm That No Radiation Levels of Concern Have Reached the United States

Submitted by Norm Roulet on Fri, 03/18/2011 - 17:45.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE  - March 18, 2011

Air News Release (HQ): JOINT EPA/DOE STATEMENT: Radiation Monitors Confirm That No Radiation Levels of Concern Have Reached the United States

WASHINGTON – The United States Government has an extensive network of radiation monitors around the country and no radiation levels of concern have been detected.  The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency RadNet system is designed to protect the public by notifying scientists, in near real time, of elevated levels of radiation so they can determine whether protective action is required.  The EPA’s system has not detected any radiation levels of concern.

In addition to EPA’s RadNet system, the U.S. Department of Energy has radiation monitoring equipment at research facilities around the country, which have also not detected any radiation levels of concern.

As part of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Organization’s International Monitoring System (IMS), the Department of Energy also maintains the capability to detect tiny quantities of radioisotopes that might indicate an underground nuclear test on the other side of the world.  These detectors are extremely sensitive and can detect minute amounts of radioactive materials.

Douglas fir tip drop disease - what is it?

These two green 6 inch long douglas fir branch tips were two of hundreds carpeting the  ground under a 50 foot high Douglas fir last week.

I believe there is some type of a boring insect which invades the cambium right at the point of break-off.   But I couldn't distinquish what exactly invaded.

Sadly, a another child has disappeared in NEO--and an AMBER alert is not warranted, because the girl has been deemed a runaway. If you can help with any information, please call Cleveland Police at 911.
