Birches near shoreline in autumn

Submitted by Jeff Buster on Thu, 11/10/2011 - 19:30.

Why is it that the birches and the cedars have their toes in the water while the white pines like it a little drier?

Pretty neat elevational organization.

Is Cleveland Fire/EMS merger about Union survival or better public service?

Submitted by Jeff Buster on Wed, 11/09/2011 - 22:03.

Across the United States the absolute trend of fire incidents is headed down.  With improved building codes, fire resistant construction materials, fire sensors, smoke alarms, fire suppression systems, smoking awareness, etc. the fire department is getting called less and less.  

On the other hand, medical response needs are strong and growing stronger.

Please Read Pavarini's commentary concerning his interaction with the Cleveland "Democratic" machine

Submitted by Jeff Buster on Mon, 11/07/2011 - 22:02.

 Mr. Pavarini's experience with City Councilors, the Dirty Plain Dealer, and the "Democratic" machine explain very well why North East Ohio is sliding directly down the toilet.

Voting is a JOKE here in NEO.

Anyway, I strongly suggest, vote for PHIL PAVARINI!

Jobs Americans Won't Do - Carpentry for Home Building

Submitted by Jeff Buster on Sun, 11/06/2011 - 10:25.

Starting with US President Duwbya, our Government has been telling Americans that there are jobs which AMERICANS won't do.    

I always wondered about these Non-American Jobs because who did these jobs in America 30 or 40 years ago?    I thought it was Americans who built the subdivisions 30 years ago.

Submitted by Jeff Buster on Mon, 10/31/2011 - 23:06.

 Just as in Afghanistan, where an American runs the show, Libya's new head guy is  Prime Minister Abdurrahim El-Keib.

The BBC wasn't sure when Mr. El.Keib decided to get back home to Libya from his Petroleum Institute job...but nevermind, they must a known he was commin',

Man, that's cool.  

An American Libyan was the most popular in all of Libya!

Comment block now hidden by default and Recent Blog Posts block hidable - users may activate them individually

Submitted by Jeff Buster on Sat, 10/29/2011 - 10:21.

 Realneo Administration  over the past few days has recieved requests from users to gussy up the front page of Realneo and bury the vitriolic stuff which has hanging around and popping up in the right hand side bar.

It turns out that the present Drupal modules operating Realneo can be set by the administration and any realneo user to show by default or hide by default any one of the blocks on the front page of Realneo.  This may be part of the software solution needed.   There in Drupal all the time....

Solvent Retention Capacity (SRC)

Submitted by Jeff Buster on Fri, 10/28/2011 - 21:19.

 Realneo puts lots of attention into what's goin' on in North East Ohio - but Google doesn't care were we are.   So any helpful news is welcome here.

When you bake bread, or make cookies, or do anything with flour I'm sure you'd had different results from one time to the next. 

But you followed the formula exactly.

So what caused the difference in the dough?

Maybe the flour is a bit different. Probably..

We are What We EAT ; Jesus, I just remembered, I forgot to take my meds this morning!

Submitted by Jeff Buster on Thu, 10/27/2011 - 19:27.

 The Great Lakes, and especially Lake Erie, are part of the United States environmental recycling project - the green philosophy.  

So ever since cities were inhabited on the shores of the Great Lakes, we have been putting our sewerage into the Great Lakes so that our sewerage was available to us for drinking. 

Man is a fabulous engineer. 

God's species.

TOP 10 Popular Rules for Web moderators/administrators/editors!

Submitted by Jeff Buster on Thu, 10/27/2011 - 10:11.
There are a few well established rules for web site editors:
 
The first web editor rule - which is so basic it really even doesn’t need to be in the list below – is that the editor is responsible to ensure that all reader/user fights are conducted in public (on the web, never in private emails) – to provide the “protection” to the reputation of each fighter which public voyeurism allows.

Submitted by Jeff Buster on Sat, 10/22/2011 - 21:33.
This story is COMPLETE FICTION! Right, jeff.
Is  LIBIDO WIRED   to your BANK ACCOUNT balance?
It was a hot, hot, hot summer August night and Doris called me to invite me to dinner.
Doris was the neighbor cross the street whose son I often drove to school.
Sure! I would love to come to dinner…(the wife was away -I was eating canned beans)
So I showered and put on some shorts and walked across the street to Doris’s.
They lived upstairs.
