What’s the deal with this story? (Missing UI student Mollie Tibbetts)
The thing that is hanging me up on this whole story is that she doesn't show up for work on the morning of 7/19/18 and her employer calls Dalton Jack to see if he knows why. Dalton Jack apparently calls her family to let them know that she didn't show up for work that day. Here's the thing... -

Ankeny Summer fest fireworks explosion
There was one firework that look like it went off about 5-10 feet above ground but it didn't ignite any of the adjacent fireworks it appeared. There was a little fire on the ground that I would presume was just the stands / tubes that housed the fireworks that started on fire from the normal... -
I-35 / US 30 Flyover Progress
Cool Fact - There is 4.5 Million pounds of structural steel for the bridge girders. If I counted correctly, there are 75 bridge girders that will be installed when complete. I watched the KCCI report and see that they used sleeves for the anchor bolts...not sure why you wouldn't just build an... -
I-35 / US 30 Flyover Progress
I am in agreement with you that I don't believe the piers were poured 6" too high. If they were 6" too high they would have to cut out all of the rebar in the top of the piers as the finish elevation of the concrete pier would be lower than the existing reinforcing if they just left it in... -
I-35 / US 30 Flyover Progress
You would think that they would be allowed to core drill an oversized hole and epoxy in anchor bolts and have a 3rd party pull-test the anchor bolts so they didn't have to go to this extreme of chipping for months on months. Is there that much uplift on these bridge decks that can't be verified... -
I-35 / US 30 Flyover Progress
Finally got a chance to look at the drawings and see what they missed. Looks like they forgot to install the 1 1/2" diameter anchor bolts that are to have 18" min. embedment into the pier itself. There are no embed plates that get cast into the boxes at the top of the piers. This appears to... -
I-35 / US 30 Flyover Progress
Can you provide the link to these documents, I was trying to find them earlier. -
I-35 / US 30 Flyover Progress
Heard that the embed plates were installed in the wrong locations so they have to chip down 18" on ALL bridge piers, reinstall embed plates, and place concrete back to elevation. They also delivered the main bridge beams and they look 10' tall on the ground. -
I-35 / US 30 Flyover Progress
Anyone have any new insights on what is going on with these bridge piers on the I-35 to HWY 20 Fly-Over bridge? The furthest South pier was already poured, demo'ed, and repoured. They have spent the last 3-4 weeks chipping concrete off the top of the pier and looks like they are setting up to... -

I was told by a guy at Batteries and Bulbs that they are generally the same battery with a different label on top. Obviously there are exceptions for the red top batteries and others. -

Lawn Care: Fall Aeration + Overseeding
I have the same issue in our back yard, but we have irrigation and it just can't handle the heat no matter how much I water it. I do have a large area that I placed compost and "Northern Lawn" blend grass seed from Fleet Farm and it has been exceptional in this hot weather. I did buy a truck... -
Sound Bar Speaker Advice

Look at Sonos playbar...pretty pricey but I have the Play 1 and am saving up for the Playbar as it runs off of your home Wifi System and can connect to auxiliary Play 1, Play 3, or Play 5 speakers anywhere in the house within the Wifi range...So, if you have the game on your TV and sound playing... -
