Not logging on ... nawing on For those familiar with relatively ancient Internet lingo, they are referred to by different names than what I will substitute. But "mud rats" are far less harsh as label than what one could have used. You see, mud rats travel between one or more supply websites...

I thought this matter a non-issue going forward, but yesterday I experienced yet another variation of this problem of 'Authoring a New Thread' on this forum regarding the actions of Darkstar416. A change in wording to a thread to suit that Moderator's belief rather than those of the thread...

Why say anything in response to that last throw in? Returning in the meantime to what is more important, the "primary" in US context does double duty. On the one hand, both state primaries and state caucuses are grouped under a singular label of "Primaries" to describe the entire exercise of...

I beg your pardon, it most certainly is a primary and it is called that by both parties. The Caucus is a method of selecting a candidate, and there are variations of the causus method for the Republicans versus the Democrats. The Iowa Caucuses are alternately called the "first primary" in...

I assumed that this was not done in Toronto based on the original question from Conrad Black, and what I have seen in my brief stay here. I do have two or three questions after your input: How was the construction managed? (By this I mean how were the tenants protected from any particular...

Mr. Alexander's full name and title are David Alexander, Senior Vice President, McHugh Construction. As you will note, Trump International Tower Chicago is specifically singled out for early phase move-ins, as is Aqua. Permits had not been granted at the time of this article. James McHugh...

Yes Conrad Black, I am serious, although that was intended to be a bit of a teaser at the end of the post in which I left it. There are certain types of skyscraper buildings, in certain cities, and for various reasons, that developers push to get people into as early as possible - usually in...
