Sometimes, half a big box is better than none
Thursday, October 29th, 2009Retailer Petco has signed a lease for half the 30,000-square-foot Linens-N-Things space at Legacy Place in Palm Beach Gardens, says Dan Lynch of Atlantic Retail Partners.
The 15,000-square-foot deal lights up a small part of the dark big-box space vacated by bankrupt retailers Linens-N-Things and Circuit City. Nordstrom Rack said this week it would take a 36,000-square-foot former Circuit City in Boca Raton.

Discover more resources for these services: Web Sites
You use the Windows Azure Management Portal to scale your web sites, and to specify whether you want to run them in Free web site mode, Shared web site mode or Standard web site mode.
When a web site is first created it runs in Free web site mode, meaning that it shares available compute resources with other subscribers that are also running web sites in Free or Shared web site mode.
A single instance of a web site configured to run in Free mode will provide somewhat limited performance when compared to other configurations but should still provide sufficient performance to complete development tasks or proof of concept work. It is recommended that you configure any "proof of concept" web sites to run in Free mode. You can create up to 10 web sites per region in Free mode.
If a web site that is configured to run in a single instance using Free web site mode is put into production, the resources available to the web site may prove to be inadequate as the average number of client requests increases over time. If the CPU time quota is exceeded for the web site, all web sites in the same subscription are stopped (Web site instances normally unload after going idle for 20 minutes). The web sites are started again at the next quota interval.
Before putting a web site into production, estimate the load that the web site will be expected to handle and consider scaling up / scaling out the web site by changing configuration options available on the web site's Scale management page.
A web site that is configured as or updated to Shared mode uses a low-cost scaling mode that provides high availability and more performance than Free mode. Changing to Shared mode is easily done in the Scale tab of the management portal. These changes take only seconds to apply, and do not require code to be changed or the application to be redeployed. You can create up to 100 web sites per region in Shared mode.
A web site in Shared mode is deployed in the same multi-tenant environment as one in Free mode, but has no quotas or upper limit to the amount of bandwidth it can serve. The first 5 GB of bandwidth served on a Shared web site is free; subsequent bandwidth is charged at the standard "pay-as-you-go" rate for outbound bandwidth.
A web site running in Shared mode also now supports the ability to receive mapping for multiple custom DNS domain names, using both CNAME and A-records. Using A-records allows web sites to be accessed using only the domain name (e.g. http://microsoft.com in addition to http://www.microsoft.com). If you require custom domain SSL support, you can upgrade to Standard mode, which has support for both SNI and IP-based SSL.
A web site running in Shared mode benefits from high availability even with a single instance, but you can add up to 6 instances ("scale out") for even greater performance and fault tolerance. For more information, see "How to Change Scale Options for a Web Site" later in this document.
A web site that is configured as Standard will provide high availability and more consistent performance than a web site that is configured as Free or Shared. Standard mode also has support for SNI and IP-based SSL certificates for custom domains. Before switching a web site from Free web site mode to Standard web site mode, you must first remove the spending caps in place for your Web Site subscription. To view or change options for your Windows Azure Web Sites subscription, see Windows Azure Subscriptions.
In Standard mode, you can create up to 500 web sites per region. If you have more than one web site in the same region, you can use the Choose Sites feature to decide which of the sites you want to run in Standard mode.
When you configure a web site as Standard, you can specify the size of the web site (Small, Medium or Large). A web site that is "scaled up" (configured with a larger Instance Size) will perform better under load.
You also specify a value for Instance Count (from 1 to 10). A web site running in Standard mode benefits from high availability even with a single instance, but scaling out (that is, increasing the value for Instance Count) will provide even greater performance and fault tolerance.
Unlike Shared mode, Standard mode web sites are priced based on instance count, not the number of web sites. A Standard mode instance can host multiple Standard mode web sites
The Autoscale feature, available in Standard mode only, lets you have Windows Azure automatically scale the instance count and instance size depending on load (scale by metric), or time (scheduled scaling), which makes running your web site more cost effective.
By default, a web site that is configured to run in Free or Shared web site mode has access to the resources associated with an ExtraSmall Virtual Machine Size described in the table at Virtual Machine and Cloud Service Sizes for Windows Azure.
To change the scaling of resources for a web site, in the Management Portal, open the web site's Scale management page to configure the following options:
Web Site Mode - Set to Free by default. When you change the Web Site Mode from Free or Shared to Standard, the web site is scaled up to run in a Small compute instance on a single dedicated core with access to additional memory, disk space and bandwidth.
Note: In order to configure Web sites to run in Standard mode, you must first remove spending limits associated with your Web sites subscription. To view or change options for your Windows Azure Web Sites subscription, see Windows Azure Subscriptions.
Choose Sites (Standard mode only) - Choose which web sites in the current region and subscription to run in Standard mode. To run all web sites in the current region and subscription in Standard mode, leave the Select All checkbox selected.
Instance Size (Standard mode only) - Provides options for additional scale up of a web site running in Standard web site mode. If Instance Size is changed from Small to Medium or Large, the web site will run in a compute instance of corresponding size with access to associated resources for each size. For more information, see Virtual Machine and Cloud Service Sizes for Windows Azure. The Instance Size setting is global for the web site
Edit Scale Settings for Schedule (Standard mode only) - Use this Autoscale feature to scale resources based on daytime versus nighttime, or weekday versus weekend. To start, choose Set up schedule times to bring up the Set up schedule times dialog box where you can make the following choices:
Choose a Time zone for the web site. Daylight Savings Time is respected for the time zone that you select.
Note: To scale for a different time zone, you must create a separate web site and configure it accordingly.
To scale the web site differently based on daytime or nighttime, choose Differing scale between Day and Night. Use the Time feature to specify the day start and end times in half hour increments. By default, the day starts at 8:00 AM and ends at 8:00 PM.
To scale the web site differently based on weekday versus weekend, choose Differing Scale between Weekday and Weekend. For the purposes of this feature, the weekend starts at the end of day Friday (8:00 PM by default), and ends at the beginning of the day on Monday (8:00 AM by default). The weekend profile uses the same day start and end that you define in the Time setting.
After you have made these settings, click OK to close the Schedule Times dialog box. The Edit Scale Settings for Schedule box now displays up to three recurring schedules: Week Day, Week Night, and Weekend. You can now select one of these schedules and use the Scale by Metric and the Instance Count features to fine tune the scaling of resources for the schedule that you chose.
Note: The Instance Size setting is global for the web site and does not change according to the schedule selected.
After you have finished making changes to all the schedules, click the Save icon in the command bar at the bottom of the page to save all schedule settings at once (you do not have to save each schedule individually).
Scale by Metric (Standard mode only) - For this Autoscale feature, choose CPU to have Windows Azure automatically scale the instance count and instance size depending on load. Enabling Scale by Metric enables the Target CPU option so that you can specify a target range for CPU usage, and modifies the Instance Count feature so that you can set the minimum and maximum number of virtual machines to be used for automatic scaling.
Note: When Scale by Metric is enabled, Windows Azure checks the CPU of your web site once every five minutes and adds instances as needed at that point in time. If CPU usage is low, Windows Azure will remove instances once every two hours to ensure that your website remains performant. Generally, putting the minimum instance count at 1 is appropriate. However, if you have sudden usage spikes on your web site, be sure that you have a sufficient minimum number of instances to handle the load. For example, if you have a sudden spike of traffic during the 5 minute interval before Windows Azure checks your CPU usage, your site might not be responsive during that time. If you expect sudden, large amounts of traffic, set the minimum instance count higher to anticipate these bursts.
Instance Count (Shared and Standard modes only) - A single instance in Shared or Standard mode already benefits from high availability, but you can provide even greater throughput and fault tolerance by running additional web site instances (that is, "scaling out"). In Shared mode, you can choose from 1 through 6 instances. In Standard mode, you can choose from 1 through 10 instances, and if you enable the Autoscale feature, you can set the minimum and maximum number of virtual machines to be used for automatic scaling.
Target CPU (Standard mode only) - This option appears only when Scale by Metric is enabled. Use the sliders to set the minimum and maximum percent CPU usage that you desire for your web site. Windows Azure will add or remove standard instances to keep CPU usage in this range.
Linked Resources - If you have linked a SQL database to your web site, you can scale your database here. Choose Web or Business depending on the storage capacity that you require. The Web edition offers a range of smaller capacities, while the Business edition offers a range of larger capacities. For more information, see Accounts and Billing in Windows Azure SQL Database.

During the week of Nov. 12 through 18, Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation (NCCF) will join more than 700 community foundations across America for Community Foundations Week. For more than 20 years, this effort has raised awareness about the increasingly important role of these philanthropic organizations in fostering local collaboration and innovation to address persistent civic and economic challenges.
The public is invited to celebrate Community Foundations Week with NCCF at an Open House on Nov. 16 at the SUNY Incubator on Central Avenue in Dunkirk from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
"Community foundations impact lives, solve problems, and improve futures," said Peter Clark, NCCF President. "In a down economy, with limited resources and a growing need for services to help families in need, we are more determined than ever to bring our community partners together to find innovative and effective solutions to some of our most challenging social problems."
Article Photos
According to Clark, Community foundations are independent, public entities that steward philanthropic resources from institutional and individual donors to local nonprofits that are the heart of strong, vibrant communities. This year NCCF has given out grants and scholarships totaling $348,143. Representing one of the fastest-growing forms of philanthropy, every state in the United States is home to at least one community foundation that is advancing solutions to a wide range of social issues.
Launched in 1989 through a proclamation by former president George H.W. Bush, the first Community Foundation Week included a congressional briefing about the work of community foundations throughout America and their collaborative approach to working with the public, private, and nonprofit sectors to address community problems.
The NCCF was incorporated in 1986 as a tax-exempt charitable organization. Since its establishment, the NCCF has distributed more than $8.6 million in the community through its various grant programs. It is an organization inherently committed to enriching the northern Chautauqua community and encouraging local philanthropy. For more information on the NCCF, visit www.nccfoundation.org or call 366-4892.

Lexington County authorities have charged three area teens with breaking into a home near Chapin on Dec. 12 and stealing more than $2,000 worth of jewelry, coins and other goods.
Charles Jacob Leo Frick, 17, of Little Mountain, and two 16-year-olds, from Irmo and Chapin, were arrested Tuesday. Because they are juveniles, the two 16-year-olds were not identified.
Frick was charged with second-degree burglary, conspiracy, receiving stolen goods, petit larceny, and possessing a 2006 Chevrolet Impala that was reported stolen in Atlanta on Dec. 17. Items stolen from the home on Stevens Creek Road were found in Fricks and the two other boys homes, Lexington Sheriff James Metts said.
Frick was arrested Tuesday morning after deputies found him sleeping in the front seat of the Impala which he is believed to have stolen, Metts said. Mail taken from mailboxes on Amicks Ferry Road in Chapin was found in the car.
Frick was being held at the Lexington County Detention Center on Tuesday night.
The two juveniles were released to the custody of their grandparents, Metts said.

Tucked away in an unassuming Denton shopping center, Crossroads Bar is just as the name suggests — a cross section of young students and old cowboys. It's not uncommon to see people of all walks enjoying the bar's cheap draft beers on the same night.

Live music permeates the bar throughout the week, offering karaoke on Tuesdays, live piano performances on Wednesdays and various Americana acts on weekends.

With just a Big Buck Hunter arcade game, a broken pool table and a slot machine in the corner, unless you come for the live music, Crowbar offers little by way of entertainment.

The Augusta Futurity wrapped up its weeklong event at the James Brown Arena on Saturday. Final events included a horse auction which saw a decline in attendees this year.
Curtis Chester looks forward to the Augusta Futurity every year, especially the horse auction. This is the second year in a row he has not left empty handed.
"We just bought a Little Trona Mare, a real nice cutting mare," said Chester.
Chester and his wife bought a horse last year at the auction and are proud to take home one more.
"We will take her home and play on her a little bit and see what she can do, hopefully come back down here next year with her," said Chester.
Augusta Futurity continues to bring back loyal visitors from 30 different states and considered to have the second largest economic impact on Augusta following the Masters.
However, According to Futurity Chairman Billy Morris, this year's impact may not be as significant.
"We're down slightly but the whole horse industry is down because of the recession," said Chairman Morris.
One buyer shared with FOX54 the difference in the auction from years past.
"It's not as crowded as what it has been," said Kip Davis.
Fewer crowds means less people were there to buy.
"It's certainly affected the horse business, people don't have as much discretionary income," said Mark Herron, advertising manager at Cutting Horse magazine.
Chairman Morris says there is nothing to worry about because the Futurity will be here again next year.
Those that were buying are already making plans for 2014.
"I'm going to take him home and try to bring him back next year," said Davis.
About 70 horses were up for sale. Buyers are eligible to bring their horse back in four years to compete in the 2018 Augusta Futurity.

Firefighters 'snap' into action to clear Clinton road hazard
Early Tuesday morning, Prince George's firefighters responded to an unusual call about a traffic hazard in Clinton.
When they arrived at at the intersection of Piscataway Road and Woodyard Road, they discovered a large senior snapping turtle wandering around the intersection, endangering his own life, and causing drivers to maneuver around him.
Firefighters Ryan Ferriter and Wesley Auld carefully scooped up the turtle and returned him to a wooded area near the intersection.
"The Prince George's County Fire/Emergency Medical Services Department is an 'all-hazards' agency. Typically, our Department will respond and mitigate whatever may be happening; anywhere, anytime," a spokesperson said.
The department did not specify how they knew the turtle was a male, and we didn't ask.

TEAMS: Texas Rangers
ARLINGTON, Texas The Texas Rangers could be without set-up man Mike Adams for the next few days as he deals with a tight trapezius muscle in his right shoulder.
Adams felt it Tuesday night in the eighth inning against Cleveland. He allowed two runs in 23 of an inning. He said the muscle tightened up on him during the outing and gradually got worse. He said it felt like he was shot putting the baseball instead of pitching.
Adams won't throw Wednesday and then will see how he feels Thursday. He's hoping he'll miss just two or three games.
"My trap started tightening up," Adams said. "It's a little more discomfort than I'm used to. You always pitch with a little discomfort. Very rarely do you pitch completely fine. Last night was a little more than I'm used to. It was bothering me enough that I couldn't finish my pitches. Hopefully it's not anything more than two or three days."
Texas manager Ron Washington didn't sound too concerned about Adams.
"I don't think it's serious with Adams, just a hiccup," Washington said.
Without Adams, the Rangers could use a combination of Alexi Ogando, Tanner Scheppers and Michael Kirkman to get the ball to closer Joe Nathan.
Texas did get some good news on the pitching front as left-hander Robbie Ross threw 28 pitches in a bullpen session and had no problems. Ross, who is eligible to come off the 15-day disabled list Friday because of a left forearm strain, may be ready Friday. The club will see how he feels Thursday and then make a decision. Washington said Ross will not need to make any rehab appearances.

Maryland ColorTyme Announces High School Essay Contest
The new store layout is customer friendly and gives a more retail-like experience. Our customers tell us every day how much they like the way the showroom looks. Marco Scalise, ColorTyme Franchisee
Largo's first ColorTyme, which opened in early December, represents the next generation store for the nation's oldest rent-to-own (RTO) company, with an updated retail-inspired design that will begin emerging at ColorTyme locations nationwide in 2008.
Store owners Marco Scalise and Tom Jackson are the first ColorTyme franchisees in the nation to incorporate all the new design elements, which feature "room within a room" furniture vignettes, complete with accessories like lamps, rugs and artwork, throughout the 5,250-square-foot showroom. Scalise utilized ColorTyme's offerings of new warm earth tones, top-of-the-line TV and computer displays and a ceramic-tiled appliance area to design a store all his own.
"People want to know what a new couch or chair will look like in their house," said Jackson. "The new store layout is customer friendly and gives a more retail-like experience. Our customers tell us every day how much they like the way the showroom looks."
Jackson and Scalise are both seasoned professionals in the rent-to-own business, with more than 30 years combined experience. In addition to the new design, they say the product offerings, pricing and payment structures set their store apart from other rent-to-own stores.
"There's a perception that rent-to-own is more expensive than retail, but we are priced very competitively," said Scalise. "We also carry some higher end furnishings and electronics that might have been out of reach for many rent-to-own customers because most rent to own stores don't have that level of merchandise available."
Scalise and Jackson offer monthly and semi-monthly payment plans and even 90-days-same-as-cash, rather than a week-to-week rental agreement typically found in the rent to own environment.
A grand opening celebration is planned for January 31 – February 2 at the new store, located at 11897 Seminole Blvd., a mile south of Largo Mall. The event will also include a live radio remote broadcast on 97X, with free food and a drawing for prizes including a Nintendo Wii game system.
ColorTyme, Inc. is the oldest franchised rent-to-own or rental purchase company in the United States with approximately 206 traditional rent-to-own stores, one pay day loan store and twelve custom wheel and tire stores for a total of 219 stores.

Wikipock not working after .1088 update?
I registered Wikipock several months ago and was very pleased with it. After the .1088 OS update, I can no longer get it to work. Every time I attempt to start the app, I see the "permissions" dialog one normally sees only on first execution of an app, then a dialog that says "Loading...", and then a crash back to the PB home screen. Has anyone else seen this? I thinking it must have to do with the way the updated OS puts Android apps in their own sessions. I've asked for support from the publisher and I'll update here if I get a solution.

An attempt to push a medical marijuana bill to a vote in the Illinois House during the veto session will have to wait until next week. Published reports say while the bill passed the Senate in 2010, it had run into opposition from members of the House, but may now have the necessary votes. Illinois is looking to become the 20th state in the nation to legalize marijuana for medicinal purposes, with a proposal for a three-year pilot program, reported to be one of the most restrictive in the nation.

Grape Creek RV Park Campground and Cabins
[ 10/10 ]
We stayed here right after the new owners bought the park. They are much more pleasant than the people we booked our stay with. The new owners were busy the whole time making the place beautiful and it was looking great by the time we left. The location is georgous and very quiet. We would stay here again for sure!

[ 10/10 ]
Wow!!! What a great campground! We met other family members here because it was a great half-way point between hometowns and stayed for a week. We found it on the internet and the place looked even better than the internet pictures. The staff is wonderful. The grounds are maintained beautifully and it is close to nearby towns. The only suggestion I have would be to book a golf cart early as there are a limited number for rent. We had a great time here and will be visiting again soon!

A Miami University student was struck by a police car early this morning and now investigators are working to determine what led to the incident.
Police and medical personnel were dispatched at about 1 a.m. today to West Spring Street and South College Avenue.
The student, only being identified as a male Miami University student, was taken to McCullough-Hyde Memorial Hospital in Oxford by ambulance and then taken by medical helicopter to Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton.
Sgt. Jon Varley said the preliminary investigation shows the police car was traveling east on West Spring Street through the intersection and struck the student. Police have not released the names of the officer or the student, citing an ongoing investigation.
This story will be updated as soon as details become available.
The intersection is controlled by an electronic traffic control device and technical accident investigators from the Oxford Police Department, Miami University Police Department and the Ohio State Highway Patrol are conducting a joint investigation.

Prince William County Police investigators have arrested a Woodbridge man in connection to the attempted strangulation and assault of a teen girl, according to police spokesman Jonathan Perok.
Ronald Doggett, 54, of the 17000 block of Cass Brook Lane, is charged with strangulation and domestic assault and battery. He is being held on a $2,000 secured bond.
Officers arrived at the home at 2 p.m. Saturday in response to a call. According to police, Doggett and the 15-year-old victim, a family member, were involved in an argument that escalated.
More police and fire coverage at Dale City Patch
During the encounter, Doggett allegedly assaulted the victim and, at one point, grabbed her by the throat, according to Perok. The victim fled the house and contacted police from a neighbor's home.
The victim sustained minor injuries, Perok said.
A court date for Doggett is not available.

Awesome magnets, varied color options, only one issue
Hawaiian Turtle Save the Date Magnets Our colors are a bit different it's blues and coral colors, I was worried that the colors wouldn't come out as they looked on our computer screens but they were exactly what we expected! It's fantastic. One thing though giving them the average overall, we ordered 50 cards/envelopes/sealing stickers what we got was 55 magents, 49 envelopes, and 50 sealing stickers. So we are in envelope short but got extra magnets. Just beware it happens, envelopes are pretty easy to find, I would rather have less envelopes than magnets.
Nice magnets!!
Hawaiian Turtle Save the Date Magnets The magnets came a day early and were printed nicely. I also ordered coordinating address labels and stickers for the back of the envelopes which also look great!!
Great print quality!
Birds in Bloom Save the Date Magnets I love my save the dates! The magnets came exactly as designed, and the print quality was flawless. I'm very pleased with my purchase!
Perfect Magnets
Birds in Bloom Save the Date Magnets I was more than happy with my save the date magnets! The colors and design were exactly as they appeared online. Very happy!
Hawaiian Turtle Save the Date Magnets I love how everything arrived in a cute turquoise box neatly arranged. The magnets look perfect on the fridge.. I couldnt be happier with choosing Magnetstreet!!!!

text: "And I don't understand why God gave me these hands And I don't claim to know it all But he said it'd be okay, said we'd find our own way And he will catch us, should we fall" Vibrating in my memory invested in these words. First time that I heard this song I cried till it occurred. My name Kristen is derived from Christ, yet religion I didn't get. I follow the path of fate because it seems to me correct. Years of studying why I felt this song was meant to teach. Gave me a calm conclusion that one should never judge or preach.

text: We're getting married in Mexico, so far just the two of us. My friends are still planning on having a bridal shower for me, and probably a party for us after we get back - should I still register? I like the idea of a honeymoon registry like thebigday.com, especially since I can add things that are for our actual wedding. I also thought about Target, and we do need some stuff from the Home Depot. Would it be too much to register at all three places? How do I let everyone know where we are registered - just tell mom and a few closest friends and let the word get out? Thanks!

The town of Dixon is thanking a 7-year-old girl who did the right thing by turning in a wallet found on the street.
Jessica Gutierrez found the wallet on the ground when she was walking one morning to Tremont Elementary School. Inside the wallet were hundreds of dollars.
Without hesitation, she turned it in at her school because she remembered her mother's words that you don't keep anything that is not yours.
The woman who lost the wallet gave the little girl a reward, but the town wanted to do more. On Thursday, she was picked up in a white stretch limousine from the Bryan-Baker Funeral Home.
At school, she met a police dog and his officer-handler from the Dixon Police Department. Her class earned a pizza lunch from Mary's Pizza Shack in Dixon.
Other businesses will also recognize Jessica's honesty: Cattleman's Restaurant is giving T-shirts to Jessica and her siblings. Anytime they go to Cattleman's wearing the shirts, they eat free.
Cool Patch Pumpkins and World's Largest Corn Maze will give Jessica and her family free pumpkins for life and Jessica gets a lifetime pass to the corn maze.
"Jessica showed everyone that honesty really is the best policy," said Dixon Police Chief Jon Cox in a news release.

Loud & Proud: Expanding Diminished-Seven Arpeggio Shapes Across the Fretboard
The following content is related to the August 2012 issue of Guitar World. For the full range of interviews, features, tabs and more, pick up the new issue on newsstands now, or in our online store.
Last month, I demonstrated a handful of ways to execute fast melodic bursts based on diminished-seven arpeggios. In doing so, I wanted to lay the groundwork for incorporating these ideas into solos rooted primarily in other sounds, such as minor pentatonic, the blues scale, minor modes and so on.
This month, I'd like to examine other ways to play an E diminished-seven arpeggio (E G Bb C#). In doing so, I'll introduce and detail new shapes that work across greater stretches of the fretboard and in more diverse, expansive ways.

Water-Based Suppression for the New Indianapolis Airport
NFPA Journal®, July/August 2008
By Gary E. Mohr, C.P.D.
When you're the home of the Indianapolis 500, you like to do things fast, and you don't like anything to get in your way of the finish line. That's why, when Indianapolis decided to replace its airport, it did so with speed and efficiency in mind. In fact, the city is building the new airport right where the old one is while it is still operating.
That's not an easy task for a busy airport. More than 8 million people pass through the airport each year, and it ranks eighth in the country in terms of cargo shipments. When completed in late 2008, the $1.1 billion New Indianapolis International Airport will be among the most sophisticated in the nation.
Building a new transportation gateway The existing airport terminal, built in 1928, has been expanded since the 1950s with various addons. The last concourse was built in the 1980s. The new terminal, which is being built in the midfield between the airport's two runways, will reduce the notoriously long time planes now spend taxiing to gates. It will feature about 55,000 square feet (5,110 square meters) of retail space for shops and concessionaires, about 30,000 square feet (2,787 square meters) of which will be located beyond the security checkpoint.
In addition to the new terminal, the New Indianapolis Airport will have two concourses, A and B. Each concourse will have 20 gates for a total of 40 gates, as compared to 33 at the existing airport. Overall, the terminal will be four stories high. Level 1 is the Arrivals level at the terminal building, and its finished floor elevation is 758 feet (231 meters). Level 2 is the mezzanine level in the terminal baggage hall, and its finished floor elevation is 775 feet (236 meters). Level 2's apron for the concourses has a finished floor elevation of 778 feet (237 meters). Level 3 is the Departures level at the terminal building and the concourses, and its finished floor elevation is 792 feet (241 meters). Level 4 is the office level, with two mechanical equipment rooms, and its finished floor elevation is 809 feet (247 meters). Levels 5 and 6 are various roof levels and mechanical equipment rooms. The highest point of the terminal's roof is 871 feet (247 meters). The roof covers more than 5 acres, and its elevations vary due to its unique saddle shape.
The sprinkler system design The airport is equipped with a number of large water mains. A 24-inch (61-centimeter) water main runs cross-field from south to north between the existing airport and the new airport, from which extend to the west two 20-inch (51-centimeter) water mains. Each 20-inch (51-centimeter) main flanks the north and south concourses. The two mains are cross-connected in front of the terminal building with a 20-inch (51-centimeter) water main, and a 12-inch (30-centimeter) combination fire and domestic water main extends from the 20-inch (51-centimeter) water main into the fire pump room in the terminal.
The design criteria used for the terminal fire protection systems are based on the latest enforced edition of the applicable codes, an initial flow test before the water main extension, and a current flow test from new hydrants in front of the terminal building. The fire protection codes being used include the 2000 editions of the International Building Code (IBC) and the International Fire Code; the 1999 edition of NFPA 13, Installation of Sprinkler Systems; the 2000 edition of NFPA 14, Installation of Standpipes and Hose Systems; the 1999 edition of NFPA 20, Installation of Stationary Pumps for Fire Protection; the 1995 edition of NFPA 24, Installation of Private Fire Service Mains and Their Appurtenances; the 2002 edition of NFPA 415, Airport Terminal Buildings, Fueling Ramp Drainage, and Loading Walkways; and the 1994 edition of NFPA 2001, Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing Systems.
The initial flow test was actually taken south of Interstate 70 off of the project site. Preliminary calculations were performed and later revised when more definitive information became available. The areas protected by the automatic sprinkler system include the pedestrian bridge, terminal building, and the two concourses. There are 14,200 sprinklers and 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) of fire protection main piping.
The building will have a combined automatic standpipe and sprinkler system throughout, supplied by an automatic fire pump and related jockey pump. The automatic fire pump will be supplied by two independent water services, with an approved double check valve assembly, and connected to a water main provided with a sectional valve.
All floor areas are protected by fire department valves (FDVs) located inside each entrance to an exit passageway, at the main entrances to the terminal building, and in exit stairwells and other locations, as required by code. The FDVs will be 2 1/2 by 2 1/2 inches (6 by 6 centimeters) with a 2 1/2- by 1 1/2-inch (6- by 4-centimeter) reducer coupling and a 1 1/2-inch (4-centimeter) cap and chain. FDVs will be on combined standpipe risers at the intermediate level of the stair towers. Fire hoses and nozzles are not provided. Fire department connections are located on the exterior wall of the terminal building at grade level.
The sprinkler system is zoned per floor, and each floor is subzoned into areas that do not exceed 52,000 square feet (4,831 square meters), with control valves and water flow switches for each zone.
Quick response sprinklers are located throughout the building complex. Automatic wet-pipe standpipe flow demand will be 500 gallons (1,893 liters) per minute to the most remote standpipe and 250 gallons (946 liters) per minute minimum for additional risers, with the total not to exceed 1,250 gallons (4,732 liters) per minute. Residual pressure at the highest and most hydraulically remote fire hose outlet will be 100 pounds of pressure per square inch gauge (psig). Fire extinguishers are provided in each retail space, within 30 feet (9 meters) of all the commercial cooking equipment, and in each storage, maintenance, mechanical, and electrical equipment room.
Sprinkler systems for specific areas The airport has sprinkler systems appropriate for the area within the building and for the way that area is used. For areas designated as tenant spaces, there are two occupancy classifications as specified by the IBC: Ordinary Hazard Group 2 Occupancy for kitchens, concession areas, and storage areas, and Ordinary Hazard Group 1 Occupancy for all other areas. In cooking areas with hoods, there is a pre-engineered approved type fire suppression system supplied as part of the hood package. Unfinished areas without suspended ceilings have upright sprinklers. In finished areas with suspended ceilings, concealed sprinklers with cover plates are provided. Friction-fit cover plates are not allowed. And around the civic plaza and mechanical equipment rooms 212°F (100°C) heads are provided.
A sprinkler system is installed throughout the baggage area, including the spaces above and under the conveyors, under the catwalks, and in other locations. All obstructions to sprinkler coverage were considered, as required by NFPA standards.
Building service chutes are also protected internally by automatic sprinklers. A sprinkler is placed above the top service opening of the chute, above the lowest service openings at alternate levels in buildings over two stories high. The room or area into which the chutes discharge is also protected by automatic sprinklers.
A Novec 1230 clean agent system is installed in the local area network room, the public address system room, the main communications rooms, and the airport communications rooms.
The water supplies Care was taken to ensure the best hydrant location for the fire service. Hydrants are located between the terminal and the parking garage. Two of them were tested and used as a design basis for hydraulic calculations.
Hydrant #1 static pressure is 70 psig, with a residual pressure of 57 psig, and Hydrant #2 has a flow rate of 1,190 gallons (4,505 liters) per minute. The fire pump curve is 1,250 gallons (4,732 liters) per minute at 130 psig.
Several types of automatic sprinkler systems are used at the new airport. The wet-pipe system is a combination automatic sprinkler/standpipe system with 2 1/2-inch (6-centimeter) FDVs located at the intermediate stair landings and floor control assemblies located at the ceiling of each floor to cover main zones and subzones. The FDVs are rotated at a 45° angle to accommodate 2 1/2-inch (6-centimeter) fire hoses when connected.
Double-interlocked pre-action systems are used where expensive equipment, such as uninteruptible power supply rooms, the public address system, the motor control room, the north and south baggage halls, and the baggage handling system control room, is being protected. A preaction system is also used for the water curtain at the entrance to the terminal from the pedestrian bridge at the Departures level, which links the parking garage to the terminal. A water curtain system provided at the connection of the pedestrian bridge to the terminal is supplied from the terminal combination sprinkler/standpipe system. A water curtain system is also provided at the other end of the pedestrian bridge where it connects to the parking garage. It is supplied from the garage system.
A dry-pipe system serves the loading dock. That is the only location for a dry-pipe system. For the dry-pipe systems and pre-action systems, the area of sprinkler operation will be increased by 30 percent without revising the density.
The civic plaza is a multifunctional space 200 feet (61 meters) in diameter. The distance from the plaza floor to the roof is 80 feet (24 meters). Since the entire roof of the civic plaza is a large skylight and there is no place to put sprinklers or piping, the decision was made to use water cannons.
There are four water cannons, one in each quadrant of the plaza. They are mounted at the top of the perimeter of the rotunda, at a point 40 feet (12 meters) above the floor. Each water cannon is angled so that its discharge pattern covers 120 feet (37 meters) from the edge to the center, overlapping 20 feet (6 meters) from each quadrant. Each water cannon is supplied from a deluge system that uses four triple, infrared flame detectors and beam detector transmitter and receivers located strategically around the plaza.
The fire pump is sized for 1,250 gallons (4,732 liters) per minute, the maximum allowed by NFPA 14. The pressure is calculated to have a static head of 103 feet, 8 inches (31.5 meters) or 45 psig. The top-of-riser pressure will be 100 psig, and the pipe and fitting loss is estimated to be 15 psig. The pressure loss from the static head is 160 psig, but the 30 psig available from the city main reduces the required pressure boost to 130 psig. The fire pump is equipped with a 150-horsepower, 3,550-rpm, 460-volt, 3-phase, 60-Hertz motor. Since the pump will churn at 216 psig discharge pressure, 250 psi flanges are provided on the discharge of the pump, which is equipped with a solid-state, soft-start controller. The jockey pump will provide 15 gallons (57 liters) per minute at 140 psig and will have a 5-horsepower, 460-volt, 3-phase, 60-Hertz motor.
The most difficult challenge of this project was designing the water cannon system. Special attention was given to selecting the type of water cannon and the type of heat and smoke detectors. Due to the unusual shape of the area being covered, only a functional test, and not a water test, will be performed.

, which revealed his genius as a storyteller, satirist, propagandist and creator of comic situations and characters. In 1534 he published
, a companion to
, which contains some of his best work. It mocks old-fashioned theological education, and opposes the monastic ideal, contrasting it with a free society of noble Evangelicals. Following an outburst of repression in late 1534, Rabelais abandoned his post of doctor at the Hotel-Dieu at Lyons and despite Royal support his book
Tiers Livre
was condemned. His last work, and his boldest,
Quart Livre
was published in 1551 and he died two years later. For the last years of his life Rabelais was persecuted by both religious and civil authorities for his publications. His genius however was recognized in his own day and his influence was great.
