Two posts in a row for me, and I'm still in the same section! Fine Homebuilding was a writeup for a CMS from Craftsman for $90 (March Issue, p. 40). It uses a 7 1/4" blade (circular saw blade), and has a laser track guide. That saw would suit the purposes of most mome remodelers. You can spend upwards of $600 and more for a good 12" slider, but how often would you use it? It's hard to buy a tool for someone unless you know exactly the tool they want. I would suggest a gift certificate to Amazon.com, and let him choose the one he wants. Bottom line, though, I can't imagine doing a remodel without a CMS.

There is a small writeup for SharkBite fittings in the latest issue of Fime Homebuilding (March 2008 issue) if anyone is interested. It's in the "Tools and Materials" section, p 42.

To me, the genius of the PEX/SharkBite system is its flexibility, both literally and figuratively. You can make a 100

"Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear And it shows them pearly white" Oh, sorry. Got carried away there. What type fittings are you going to use? When I first saw PEX on This Old House, the tools and fittings were very expensive, but worth it because of ease of labor. Home Depot carries SkarkBite fittings from CashAcme also known as Cash Valve. I was told they were solid performing. All you do is slip the tube into the fitting, and there

This was posted on a forum I hang out at.

A few years ago, a city activist/lawyer was murdered at his home on Worthshire in Timbergrove. After he was shot, the house was set afire presumably to cover the crime. I think his name was Allem or something like that. The victim was gay, and I believe he was a gay activist. Those are the “facts” as I remember them. Sometime after that murder, another gay was shot and killed, and his house set on fire. The house was on Rosslyn the second house from Latexo. Now, I only mentioned the guys were gay to show the striking similarity of the two cases. So, was Allem’s murder ever solved? And does anyone know if there was a connection to the two cases?

Of course they do. However, people in New York are smart enough not to call 911 saying they are going to murder someone.

Well, it was a given DA Bears would win - Bobby Douglas was starting quarterback.

BTW, I am in the 4th inning here right now. I gave up my DishTV a couple of weeks ago, so I am watching my old tapes and CDs. At this moment I am watching Ken Burns' Baseball, the 4th inning - 1920-29, the heyday of The Babe,

Yeah, me too.

Maybe that was the time left in the game? JB, if the game started at 2:35, and the clock shows 3:53. that means they played the game in a little over an hour. I would swear the opening game with the Yankees was played at night. It was probably one of the biggest single day events in the City's history. If anyone remembers, the very first event in the Dome open to the public was a sellout. It took place a week or so before the Yankees series. The event? It was the Boy Scouts Jamboree. People didn't care about the event. They just wanted to be the first to see the Dome. ETA: JB, I looked at the link you provided. The story says the first game was an Astros win, 2-1 in 12 innings. In your picture, the 'Stros won 3-2 in 9 innings. That picture is surely not the first game. Besides, I wouldn't argue with the man who taught Nolan everything there was to know about pitching. In fact, rumor has it that T-Bird also taught Satchel Paige, but that can't be confirmed.

I don't know if it was this game or not, but at one of the first games, Julius LsRoas sang the National Anthem - and forgot the words!

I remember the

I have never really liked the Dome. So I would have no qualms if they tore it down. But that's not my decision since I am no longer a resident there. I have many, many great memories from going to the Dome. I still have my ticket from the UH/UCLA Hayes/Alcindor basketball game, the one that put college basketball in the Big Time. I saw Clay fight Big Cat Williams there. I saw Jamie Bravo gored by a bull, just as he was in every performance there. I saw the first soccer game played there, although I was so bored I think I fell asleep and SNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORED! I saw the worst pro football game ever played there. It was the Oilers and the Steelers when Pastorinni and Bradshaw were both rookies. Pittsburgh won 10-7. Both teams were so inept it was laughable. The other 10 people in the crowd thought it was boring, too! I have all those and many, many more memories of the Dome, but still I disliked the place. It made you feel like you were watching a show that a sporting event. It was just too
