It does bring out-of-towners in. I don't think the police duty is free, and the marathon organizers have to pay for it using the entry fees

Lucky's was featured on Food TV's Diners Drive Inn and Dives last nite, so I head to search for it. http://www.luckyscafe.com/ (I Have never wanted a Reuben moreso in my life, I will need to swing by on my next work trip up to NE Ohio!)

Thanks, sometimes I miss the obvious

I just want to verify, Issue 9 is only a City issue, its not on the County-Wide ballot?

I think most locals are calling it the "Monroe Outlet Mall" And assuming that everyone that shops there "hates Cincinnati" is way off base

Each CFL contains 5 mg Hg; http://www.treehugger.com/files/2007/05/ask_treehugger_14.php and power plants deposit 50 tons of Hg in the air annually http://www.epa.gov/mercury/control_emissions/index.htm or 45,360 Kg /year, or equivalent to the Hg in 9,072,000 CFL's However, Hg is a potent neurotoxin and I would be more concerned about it in my house than 100 miles away at the coal fired plant Equivalent to 10,160,000,000

Yeah it was Mackinaw Island NP, it only lasted 20 years Restore Hetch Hetchy http://www.hetchhetchy.org/

Inspired by the Ken Burn's show on PBS, starting a thread on the NPS Now, a trivia question: We all Know that Yellowstone was America's 1st National Park named, but what was the second? (Hint, its not a NP anymore)

I deny overtime to my employees. Overtime is seriously a killer to my bottom line, and I can not have people on it. Which is perfectly understandable. But having your employees work more than 40 hours a week and denying them overtime pay is not okay. It's illegal, and for good reason. Not true, exempt employees are just that, exempt from federal labor laws (Professionals, management and executive employees fall under this) the OP (gotribe) may have exempt employees Obviously, if gotribe's employees were exempt, he wouldn't be worried about overtime being "a serious killer to (his) bottom line." :) Good Point, I was just correcting your statement that implied that denying any employee OT is illegal, just non-exempt employees

Were is a nice place to stay in German Village, reasonable price, off street parking... Either a hotel, or a Bed and Breakfast TIA

^ I thought the Clay's ferry spans were closer together that the I-71 spans when they were "stitched" together. The I-71 median is 84' wide, so widening 12' lanes and 10' shoulders to the inside will still leave a 40' wide median. That's too wide to have one combined pier for the median, so the option would have to be an adjacent new pier to support the widened deck- which I suspect would be too thin to be that tall (think stability issues). I am also aware that there are a couple of "suspended spans" there too, a 'bridge within a bridge'; those sections of bridge are suspended by hangers and supported from the adjacent spans

WCET’s online documentary about Kings Island: http://www.cetconnect.org/KingsIsland/

The substructure (piers and abutments) probably dated back to the original construction (1943); and it probably was re decked when they made it one way SB. The current project is replacing the whole thing

I think that's E. Fork of the Mill Creek. From what I seen it has enough width for 4 12' lanes, a 15' right side shoulder and a 10'-0" left side shoulder. The stimulus money is for resurfacing the pavement and minor deck resurfacing of the bridges in the split, a "band aid",

Inre the GINI: (from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gini_coefficient ) It appears that a younger population will give a higher GINI, Was the US's measured just with the income generating portion of the population (18-60)?. The fact that most of western Europe's population growth is flat or deflating will lower their GINI, by definition.

I don't think so. That article is current, I was mainly referring to the gas price spikes around Katrina (summer of 05); which was the post I responded to. http://www.reuters.com/article/marketsNews/idUSN1641107120090716

http://www.enquirer.com/editions/2002/09/01/loc_complex_was_troubled.html Just to make sure nothing is implied that Donald Trump bought the property while still in college, his dad bought it and let him manage it...

Actually, there are some who happen to believe that we have already peaked. After all, if the current producers were actually capable of producing more, why didn't they take advantage of the $4/gallon price of gas to ramp up production and sales? Some have said that the producers were simply taking advantage of the high profits but when you are highly profitable, don't you ramp up production to take advantage of the windfall? But nobody did. Production didn't rise in response to high prices. Why? Some say because production was already at or near peak and the producers didn't want that known. IIRC the refining capacity (to gasoline) was/is the bottleneck in that

What are we making? When was the last time you saw a "Made in America" sticker or tag? When I was growing up in the 60s and 70s, damn near everything was made in America. I just installed $300 worth of tile in my bathroom, the ceramic tiles were made in the USA as well as the cement backer board.

Actually that's not a fair assessment. Mason has an old "downtown" that essentially was the old village before it was surrounded by development. There are some nicer old homes and a neat art deco city building. And they do have sidewalks. You must have just seen SR 741 on your way to the Tennis Center @ Jack Nicklaus

This would be where St Rita's is at? BTW, great intel on the highway. Where did you find this out at? Yup, at St. Rita's <a href="http://www.historicaerials.com/?poi=7114"><img src="http://www.historicaerials.com/featuredPOIImage.aspx?poi=7114" /></a> Old plans...use them a lot in my work
