  1. Specific to Cleveland http://www.theweddingshowcase.net/ - Started with Prelude Photo (one of the partners also went to BBH schools with me). Didn't actually get my classmate (she was 8mo preggy at the time), but the guy who came out was great. - Added Jesse Webb for the music. Decent music catalog, and loves getting new stuff from the participants (he had never heard of , for example, which we used for our "get everyone out on the floor" song) - Cakes to You for the cake. Met up with the owner at the mall during one of her open tastings, and came away surprised. If you're on the borderline between cake sizes, go with the larger one. Nobody ever complains that there's too much cake - AmComm tuxedos. You'll need to rent from up there if you want the discount... the franchisees down here won't know what you're talking about. I'll add our officiant and supplemental caterer (our venue was owned by a retired Chinese chef, so we went with him for dinner, and had someone else bring in Slovenian desserts) when I get home and can look them up.
  2. Why bother wasting the time? Soda's cheap, do the whole thing.
  3. Another vote for dusting the whole thing with baking soda and letting it sit overnight, then vacuuming up with a HEPA vac.
  4. I think police, drivers' ed teachers, and just about everyone else who deals with teens on a regular basis should show vids like these during the "Seat belts save lives" campaigns.
  5. This is more or less what I do already with the smaller amounts of #10. As the wire and insulation gets thicker, though, doing it that way becomes a fair bit harder
  6. Anybody have one that can handle between #12 and #6 THHN wire? We'll be doing a big project at work in about a month, and stripping the scrap before taking it to the yard doubles what we get for it (which makes the accountants happy, and me look good ). As an aside, we've been using Ace I&M on Groveport Rd for years just because they're easy to work with, but if there's a place with better prices, I'm all ears.
  7. UAFD's prevention/inspection guys carry these, and they love 'em.
  8. I'd say just about anything with a *real* serial port (whether built-in or through a docking station/port replicator) ought to cover you. USB to RS232 adapters don't always play nicely with the devices they connect to... you'd be surprised how often customers at my office will attempt to use them with their Cisco/Juniper/whatever gear, and it just doesn't work. We hand them our loaner/emergency laptop with the replicator, and poof! Instant success.
  9. Happy for both, really... the Shuttle was, in many ways, an albatross hanging around NASA's neck. Requirements imposed on it by Congress to spend $X dollars in congressional district Y made it a financial disaster that could never live up to the "Cheap and reusable" hype. Passing off routine cargo and transport missions to commercial ventures lets NASA focus on things that a commercial venture would never undertake simply because there's no obvious payout (of which, Mercury/Gemini/Apollo is a perfect example).
  10. Elon's crew has successfully landed on a barge. Just wish Slashdot had actually let us know they were putting a rocket up today so I could have watched the live stream.
  11. The county has also admitted that they CHANGED the PIN code at the request of the FBI, and apparently nobody bothered to write down the new one.
  12. What the FBI doesn't seem to get is that the US Gov't is a *HUGE* purchaser of iPhones, and if Apple is forced to backdoor their own encryption and anti-theft protective measures, guess what'll happen when Russia, China, and Iran get hold of a phone. (Nevermind that we can't even trust our friends not to spy on us.... Israel....)
  13. CVT in my '06 Civic, somewhere around 145 on the clock now. Haven't had any complaints about it in regards to build quality or reliability, just that as others have said, it isn't "fun" the way a manual would be.
  14. I don't think I've ever seen a sheriff or trooper who hasn't been called out on channel 19 miles before got to them It's also rather funny how between miles 183 and 189 on I-71, every single rig and I are locked at 70mph in the right lane, and there's a trooper with a customer on the far left
  15. Sometimes it's collectible just because it reminds someone of something nice from their past, not because there's an actual "market" for the item.
  16. If it's not "new in box" or very close to it, most toys that aren't "collectible" in some way (e.g. brand-name Winchester roller-skates) are generally garage sale fodder. eBay is a great way to get an idea as to whether or not something's worth something, and just because you use it as a reference doesn't mean you actually have to go auction stuff there.
  17. Have you thrown a new battery in there as a very cheap and easy first troubleshooting step?
  18. He is where he is (and so am I) But when it comes to finding info on any house, the relevant county auditor's website (e.g. Franklin), combined with Zillow, are great places to start.
  19. You're posting, so clearly your mind wasn't blown hard enough. Redo from start?
  20. Interesting... what kind of budget are you playing with here? I've seen a lot of Dell R720 and R730 machines around the office, both our own and owned by customers we know are doing their own virtualization work.
  21. Have you attempted to figure out why the current box keeps crashing? Symptoms seem to point to sketchy power, bad RAM, or maybe a failing north bridge. The first I've seen a LOT over the years, and the second occasionally. The third would be a first, but the combination of RAM+HDD issues puts that possibility in play.
  22. Most houses I've seen have the humidifier water coming off the cold rather than the hot, but I doubt it really makes much of a difference. Also normal (as noted) for the solenoid to be warm to the touch, and this is doubly true if you're passing hot water through it rather than cold.
  23. I just posted up a link for Expedient Tier 1/2 yesterday... Definitely an entry-level plus a little more sort of gig, but if he's only looking for 13/hr, and has at least some clue about IT, it could be worth looking into.
  24. Posting just went up for an IT weenie
  25. Is it his company, or the contract his company is working? There are a *LOT* of old systems running this stuff, and depending on what that system is supporting, it could well be worth it for said company to pay someone $200k/yr for that very niche skill-set, than to pay a couple million to someone like Oracle (HA!) or IBM(HA! HA!) to update it.
