    Expedite Expo 2016 - Expedite Expo moving to a new city

    In addition to just being downtown with lots of foot traffic, there's a popular 3-level shopping mall at the Lexington Center, as well. There's also the Lexington Opera House right there as part of the Center. We could probably use that on Karaoke Night.

    Expedite Expo 2016 - Expedite Expo moving to a new city

    The Lexington Center is a big place. If the Expo outgrows that, the next step is the Las Vegas Convention Center, the largest exhibition space in the world.

    Stupid load pictures

    This one cracks me up every time I see it. Does the freight slip off the truck? Oh, no, no, no. It's very well secured. :D

    Obama, the criminal's friend

    Depends on the state, but I don't know of any state that allows the screening of all applicants (other than a handful of states which have no employer drug laws). Most states allow drug testing of applicants, but only allow the testing to occur after a conditional job offer is made as a final...

    Hence the questioning of your use of the word "all."

    Classic Movie Saturday

    Love that movie, despite the literary licensed inaccuracies. It's really a comment on McCarthyism moreso than it is about the trial. It's fitting justice that one of the screenwriters who wrote the adaptation of the play for the screen was a McCarthyism blacklisted writer.

    Well, testing them all and then doing randoms are both unconstitutional, so I didn't think you were serious when you suggested those.

    You keep pointing out the things you don't like about it, but have yet to list any solutions or alternatives.

    Taking offense at flags

    Oh, I dunno, I'm quite well educated about the Civil War and the history of the South, obviously much better educated than you believe me to be. And what you call "supported by facts" are a combination of highly selective facts, narrow in scope, and opinionated conclusions presented as fact...

    Obama, the criminal's friend

    You're a little too absolute in some of your statements. For example, they weren't considered ALL false positive tests. The failed tests were actually ALL considered positive (failed), and because of that they were asked to be retested (because it could have been a false positive). But those who...

    Obama, the criminal's friend

    A test can come back inconclusive, so you'd be asked to retest. And I think (but I'm not positive) that if you fail a test, because of the false-positive rate of drug testing, that's who are asked to retest. As for the disparity in numbers, realistically you'd toss the extremes (AZ, MS, OK) and...

    There are other reasons beyond the answered questions that will prompt a required test, though. It's not like the test hinges solely on that question. DES officials would administer tests based on reports of possible drug abuse received from law-enforcement or other government agencies (although...

    Obama, the criminal's friend

    Well, as GOP state Rep. John Kavanagh Arizona Sonora News Service, "If you want to be a pessimist, you say it's failed. If you want to be an optimist, it's a strong deterrent and they're not using drugs," Or, it could be that people with no money don't have any money for drugs, and/or most of...

    Obama, the criminal's friend

    Except the results from every state that has done it shows it's not a deterrent, because so few welfare recipients are on drugs in the first place. The deterrent is to deter people from doing what they don't even want to do. Arizona is a good example, as the Republican legislators who pushed...

    Headlight Restoration

    Once you have an edge on the knife, you can keep the edge by periodically "steeling" it on the unfinished top edge of a car/truck/van driver or passenger window, the bottom un-glazed ring of a ceramic coffee cup, or even a wet river rock. The fine edge of an emery board works, too.

    Trusting Iranians...

    I'm blaming autocorrect, giving Leo the benefit of the doubt. As an Admin I have to at least make the attempt to appear to be more neutral. Then again if he'd have just said that N.C. didn't stand for North Carolina, which 99.99% of North America thinks it does, then he would have been clear...

    Trusting Iranians...

    When Leo said, "Or it's comparing N.C. who conceded, appeased and conceded again..." I though he was, for some odd reason, talking about North Carolina seceding from the Union, and maybe autocorrect had had its way with the post. It's probably best that when people use acronyms that others...
