I'm waiting for Jesse Jackson to fly down there with big yellow boots and talk about how Americans did this to themselves and were to blame for starting Global Warming :spam:

I may be a bit more touchy than some. My wife and I have a niece who is married and has a baby living in New Orleans. No one has heard from them. Most communications being out doesn't help either. So we wait...

I just got done looking at a series of pics from mississippi and louisiana. Devestation! Plus the thought that the toll is worse than originally thought.

I have a couple friends that got out a few days before sh*t hit the fan. I can only imagine about those still their or those with family and friends still their.

At first I was getting sick and tired of the news being all about the Hurricane but after everything that is going on with the dead bodies, looting, and violence. It's really turned into something I've never seen before :blink: and now with the water level getting higher.... :o It has to be so gross walking thru that water. I hope as many people can get out of there safely

Not that we need it and we are very self sustainable but where's the offers from foreign aid?

Didn't you know WC? It's Americas duty to give money and aid to other countries and every other countries duty to say "bite me" to America. (With a few exceptions... very few)

Just like Police there hated until their needed I guess.

It's amazing how this country really comes together to donate and help out.

Foreign aid I wouldn't expect. A little simpathy would've been nice. Instead the Germans are blaming the hurricane on Global Warming, which, of course, is America's fault. Lots of people in Arab countries are probably out in the streets reliving the euphoria they felt after 9/11. Even one of the Kennedy's is blaming the governor of Mississippi for his role in the US veto of the Kyoto treaty. Now, there's a man who should be run out of town.

It would sure be awfully tempting, the next time there is a catastrophic event in another country, to just shoot them the bird. But, you know we won't. As a nation, we're just not like that.

You're right, Sign Guy, I too am proud to be an American. :usaflag:

You're a gem, Sign Guy. And Marines on Mt. Suribachi, to boot.

It was something that I realized but never really put thought to. But it was mentioned several times after 9/11. That the USofA comes to aid for most every devestating event that may happen throughtout the world. Whether the nation is a friend or foe. At the same time most every nation, friend or foe, leaves us to fend for ourselves.

The world simply refuses to believe that the mighty USofA wants everyone to live life free and happy. The one sure fire way to live free and happy is to be a family and to help others as they need.

Bless all that give donations for aid, the red cross, coast guard, neighbors, friends, etc. :headbang:

Canadians are very concerned with the devistation. Yesterday a 40 man

emergency response team left from Vancouver,search dogs, engineers,

doctors, etc. The Canadian army have offered our "DART" teams, who's

specialty is large, mobile water purification plants,!000's of liters/hour. (deploys in 48 Hrs. ) .The Canadian government has already pledged 2 million dollars,( with more to follow I'm sure).Canadian Red Cross and other agencys are sending blankets, clothing etc...........

Canada has always responded when America has been hurt.

We,ve been friends and neighbours for hunderds of years........

During Vietnam, I spent a few weeks at nuke school in Washington State. We went to Vancouver on the weekends. At the bars we had lively discussions with our brothers to the north concerning the Nam. We always left those bars on good terms, and as I recall, with as much money in our pockets as when we got there.

Later, during the hostage crisis in Iran, it was the Canadian Embassy personnel who secreted a good number (I think 15-20) of American personnel out of the country, which, I'm sure, could've meant the loss of life for the Canadians.

I'll always remember these 2 episodes, especially since recently the politicos of the 2 countries have not exactly been on the best of terms. To me, Dwight, you'll always be my brother to the North. :beer:

And, hey, who was it that gave us SCTV, EH?

Dwight....It only took you a little over 2 and a half months to finally check in :P To be quite honest I never think of Canada as a seperate country or as a foreign place :wiggle: I don't know why.....Maybe it's just me :D

Our independance as a nation is as important to us as it is to Americans.

It's hard not to feel a little insignificant living along your northern border.

Stuff like your government's stance on softwood lumber,and cattle ,etc.

really hammer our much smaller economy.

That being said,your our friends, and always will be.

Ask any American that was stuck in Canada when the planes were grounded on 9/11, how they were treated up here!

We do have differences of opinion over the Iraq situation, but we're

shoulder to shoulder with you in Afganistan,(which is where this hole thing really started anyway).

Come on up for a visit, you'll love it ( and we need those US dollars):)

      Overflow with Permit Drawings, Shop Drawings or Material Takeoff? We Might Be Able to Help

      By Night Owl · Posted

      One thing that can make a good sign project more complicated than expected is location. You may have the client, the drawings, and the project ready to go, but then you have to figure out who can fabricate the signs, who can install them, whether they can meet the schedule, and how everything will be coordinated from a different city or state.   This becomes even more challenging when you're dealing with multiple locations.   We have helped sign companies with the work that happens between getting the project and getting it completed, including:   Project Estimating Material takeoffs, quantity takeoffs, reviewing plans, and preparing pricing for commercial sign projects.   Design and Drawings Sign design, permit drawing packages, shop drawings, fabrication drawings, and production-ready files.   Vendor and Installer Sourcing Finding suitable fabricators, installers, and other local vendors when a project is outside your normal market.   Project Coordination Keeping track of vendors, approvals, revisions, fabrication schedules, installation dates, and project deadlines.   Multi-Location Sign Programs Coordinating signage projects across multiple cities and locations while keeping the information and project requirements organized.   This can be useful for shops that want to take on work outside their usual territory without having to build a new vendor network from scratch every time. We also provide overflow support when an internal team is simply overloaded with bids, drawings, takeoffs, or project management work.   If you are working on a project where you need help with estimating, sign drawings, material takeoffs, vendor sourcing, installation coordination, or project management, feel free to reach out.   Sign Bridge Request a quote at office@signbridgeco.com Call or text: 619-953-1209 You can also visit www.signbridgeco.com to see the services we provide.

      Yes LEDs Can Start Fires

      By Cra-z · Posted

      Did you put your tongue on it to see if it still works? LOL    All jokes aside, yes LEDs can burn the place to the ground just not quite as risky as HIGH VOLTAGE NEON.

      Yes LEDs Can Start Fires

      By Erik Sine · Posted

      We always see a lot of conversation about how "Safe" LEDs are because they are "Low Voltage".    That is not true.   A lot of times it can just take a little bit of moisture getting inside of a module casing.   So NO, LED Module are not SAFE or DUMMY PROOF just because they are low voltage.

      The Principal Sloan Monopoly just got Larger

      By Erik Sine · Posted

      I'm sure ISA will post "Congratulations" followed by re-posts and likes....as Users get ready to PAY MORE....the competition just became LESS!!!           Options and Choices at your local Sign Supplier just became fewer, and prices just went up.   Be sure to check out your International Sign Association Web Blast and Announcements which will contain "Congratulations Principal / Sloan on your newest / latest acquisition!!!"     We all know what this means to the market place....lesser competition....higher prices...lesser quality.   This is the reason for Brighton LEDs....It will always remain Top Tier Quality!
