Bertha repair plan surfaces. Questions about cause of damage and cost disputes linger.
The contractor building the Highway 99 tunnel under downtown Seattle shared a heap of technical information on Monday about repair plans for Bertha. What remains unanswered are questions about what caused the damage that brought the massive boring machine to a standstill and whether the contractor would continue to press the state for additional money to cover repair and delay costs.
A repair schedule presented by the contractor, Seattle Tunnel Partners, at a news conference on Monday showed that the 57.5-foot diameter machine would be mining again in late March, 2015. If that schedule holds, the machine will have been stopped for nearly 16 months by the time digging resumes. Bertha first encountered mechanical problems last December, further investigation revealed that a seal system protecting the machine's main bearing had failed.
The contractor has been working closely with the machine's manufacturer, Hitachi Zosen Corp., to orchestrate the repairs. Seattle Tunnel Partners project manager, Chris Dixon, said that on June 4, he and executives from Tutor Perini and Dragados USA, the two companies that make up the contracting venture, went to Japan and met with executives from Hitachi Zosen. Dixon described it as a "critical meeting."
"We got a couple things from them; we got a commitment to meet the schedule," Dixon said. He added: "It is an aggressive schedule."

"The other thing we've impressed upon them," he said, "is that whatever repairs they carry out to fix the seal problem, we expect them to go above and beyond that, so that we have a machine that we are 100 percent confident can tunnel the remaining 8,000 feet under the city of Seattle, without any further incident."
Dixon described the seal system failure as the "root problem" that will be fixed during the repair process. The machine has seven main bearing seals, two of which will be much thicker in a new, more robust, system that Hitachi Zosen is engineering. The repairs will also involve replacing the main bearing itself, as well as adding 86 tons of steel ribs and other new reinforcement parts at the front of the machine to strenghten the area around bearing assembly. A computer system will also be upgraded to provide Bertha's operator with more information while the machine is digging, including additional sensor data about the status of the bearing seal system.
When the seals failed, contaminants, such as grit and water, entered the area around the main bearing, which is one of the machine's more important components. Weighing approximately 88-tons and measuring about 33-feet in diameter, the main bearing allows Bertha's cutter-head to spin and bore through the earth. Seattle Tunnel Partners has decided to replace the bearing even though it is unclear how severely it was damaged when the seal system failed.
Bertha is currently about 60 feet underground in Pioneer Square. The machine is stopped about 1,000 feet into the planned tunnel path, which stretches roughly 9,000 feet between SoDo and South Lake Union.
To access and fix the machine, Seattle Tunnel Partners will build a concrete-lined pit between the Alaskan Way Viaduct and Pier 48, just south of South Main Street. The pit will be about 120-feet deep and roughly 83-feet wide. Once the pit is excavated, Bertha's cutter-head, along with other parts at the front of the machine, which together weigh almost 2,000 tons, will be removed. A crane-like "modular lift tower," which is shaped like a goal post, will straddle the pit and raise the hefty components to ground level in a single lift. The lift tower will then rotate the cutter-head assembly and set it face-down on the ground so the repairs can be performed. The pit is scheduled to be finished in September and the cutter-head removal is slated to take place in October.

None of this would matter, if the contract had been properly written: design, build, and maintain. It is their problem to fix, it is their tunnel to dig and it is their road to maintain. But they--the contractor--is making noise that the taxpayers will pay for the fixes.
Washington State Department of Transportation should have driven a stake in at the southend of the tunnel and another at the north portal and said, "Dig it anyway you want, but you will get this money and no more". Then, they should have absolutely refused to email them, answer the phone or asknowledge their very existence.
What we need to do now is to pull the plug. Will somenone have the common sense to just stop it. Now. Totally. Just pull the plug. Tear down the viaduct or strengthen it, but stop this tunnel madness.
If they are having trouble at this point, imagine the nightmare as they go under buildings (I don't think the federal government will risk a third 'federal building' --after Oklanoma City and the World Trade Center--with these Keystone Kops of Civil Engineering get within two hudnred feet of their foundations)?

I drove the viaduct again last night. I love those views. I love the fact that I can see into the downtown building windows - face to face with many of the workers in the buildings.
Bertha sucks pondwater. Time to stop. Build a new viaduct.

And soon it will suck seawater. The views on a viaduct are wonderful. The views in the tunnel will stink unless they're through the portals of WSF submarines.

Kangaroo restored by The Video Cellar
The Magician's at The Video Cellar have done it again! The source of this film was washed out and no matter how many times it was fiddled with it was never quite right. I am featuring films from The Video Cellar (where I include the name in the tags by saying 'This Film has been Conserved by The Video Cellar') on my new YouTube channel. This is an incredible job and I have been encouraging folks on YouTube to subscribe and download the films in this fantastic collection!
Am waiting for Becky Sharp as that is a disaster as well as The Constant Woman and That Uncertain Feeling with Merle Oberon. As You Like It with Olivier as well.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Well worth a look for anyone interested in the Australian film industry and its invasion by foreign producers during the nineteen fifties. It also shows what US studio executives thought at the time was a viable way to market the land down under to the masses - Fox have been trying ever since, via the two Smileys, Bootmen, Garage Days, and the ultimate Australian story (and box office flop) Australia.
Even though it's a second eleven in terms of creative team (Lewis Milestone's best days were behind him), and the cast is also only fair average (Maureen O'Hara, Lawford and Boone), it's a chance to see Rafferty and Tingwell working for the man, and a chance to see how stampedes, Aborigines, and Australian fauna, could be sold as exotically interesting (just like Australia tried, many years later).
Probably only one star as a film, but four for its cultural implications if you're interested in that kind of thing. Thanks to the uploader and may he continue to keep uploading old Australian films (he's a better resource than the NFSA).
By the way, the term abo is currently deemed to be derogatory, offensive and racist in Australia, a rough equivalent of the "n" word in America. Rolf Harris recently apologized for using it in his song, and removed the offending verse.
Oh and as an update, I see a few others have penned words of praise. Well if they can't get a laugh out of all the animals Maureen O'Hara encounters in the first five minutes - the standard wombat moments beloved of Hollywood in Australia, not to mention the indigenous fauna - perhaps they should head off to a zoo ... and leave the rest of us to enjoy our camp movies. And the anime ...

It doesn't live up to the producers billing as a great achievement in anything in particular, but the movie itself was fine. Acting was good, script was good, action was good, but it was only a snap shot of hard times by cattlemen and thieves out to do them in. It could have just as easily been done in California or Texas or anywhere there are cattle and the script/outcome would have been about the same. The mere fact that Hollywood uses derogatory terminology shouldn't surprise anyone because for years prior and even after this film many movies used the term "Boy" in referring to both Afro Americans as well as bell-hops, waiters, bus boys and so on..

really worth a look
honestly the previous reviewer's opinion is devoid of aesthetic intuition or interest. this movie is richly evocative of an imaginary Australia; the early technicolor speaks for itself. besides the willife crawling everywhere in the outback scenes, the picture overall is full of interesting dialogue and details of late 1800s sydney harbor 'color'; richard boone is excellent, and peter lawford has non-gray hair. perhaps the previous reviewer should stick with the anime on here and leave the films alone.
Completely devoid of anything
Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport.
Honestly, this movie offers nothing.
Remember, don't mistreat the abos, if anyone is watchin'.

Do the concrete paints such as Drylock actually work? I have a below grade garage with 2 walls made of concrete block. Because it is below grade, I often get dampness on the walls creating mildew in the garage. My walls have never been painted. I know the proper way to control water is to do it from the exterior (excavatation, drains, sealing, etc), but the condition is so minor, I was wondering if the paint would work. Would it also make it feel drier and kind of keep moisture from coming through the earth to the block? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Yes, they do. But I'd never use them. And I'd never buy a home that had Drylok on a wall. They DESTROY walls. They trap the moisture within the concrete and lead to early degredation. Drylok should be, in my opinion, taken off the market. |
They work. We had a hairline crack in the basement foundation wall, which used to exude some seepage. and I used it, and never saw leakage there again. |
Why do Consumers Reports say Drylock is good and rate it as the best concrete block paint? It has been around for ages...if it was so bad, wouldn't it be pulled from the market by now? |
I am sure Drylock will help keep down the dampness and be an overall improvement to your situation. I never heard of it damaging the walls though? I would think with any paint treatment, if enough water is behind the block, it will work its way out regardless, and blister the paint off. How much water can it actually hold back? In the USA, everyone finds a need to finish basements. Actually, basements are the worst places to finish and should be left unfinished in my opinion. Many basements are finished by homeowners who have no clue what they are doing. Basements can harbor unhealthy mold and mildew if finished incorrectly. |
Does anyone know how these paints actually work...and what they are made of? Are they just a very thin cement mix than fills the pores in the block? |
Wouldn't water coming through the block actually draw out the minerals from the concrete reducing its strength? I also heard dehumidifiers ruin walls too for the same reason. They draw moisture through the blocks removing the minerals from the concrete. |

Well - See pictures below? That was when I bought the house. After fixing the grade outside & DryLocking the walls, I swear it is Bone Dry down there. We had downpours for hours, rain for 3 days straight, I GOT NOTHING! Truely amazed I added a 2nd coat. The water was seeping through the concrete not coming from floor. I had a quote of $7000 to fix the problem. I did it for $90. Screw those basement waterproofers! They are a scam. & P.S - Cinder Blocks have cavities so water can build up "inside" the blocks as opposed of having pressure on them from the outside. |
I had the same kind of leak thru the wall and would build up to an inch deep. Regraded the outside, did NOT drylock and its been dry for over 6 months. chrisphillipi; you shouldn't join, resurrect an old thread, and try to peddle your wares. Not nice. |
I heard drylock will buy you one year, I've used it as a patch but not to paint the wall, best to check the landscaping around the house, I've been fighting the water in the basement for a couple years, it heads toward the floor drain so I live with it. I think you can fix the cracks but find it pretty hard to stop the moisture vapor |
Drylock is resin in a solvent. The older stuff was acrylic resin in a petroleum solvent, the newer stuff is water based. It can stop minor movement of vapor, but is not as effective against large amounts of liquid. It is also good for preventing dusting of masonry surfaces. |

Ok, If Drylock is not very good for block walls, how is XYPEX concrete waterproofing website: http://www.hi-dry.com This company is in Canada and I have read good things about their product. |

Chris implies that "15-18 gallons of water vapor per day." seep through my walls and only his system can stop it. ?!? I don't buy that, unless he is calling these gallons of "vapor" as opposed to gallons of "liquid water". If all the water is coming through my walls, why don't I need to run my dehumidifier in the spring when there is a lot of water in the soil? I only need to run it when the air humidity levels get high in summer months. The answer to this previous questions is that in most cases, most of the water vapor comes from outside air, not through the wall. The dampness on the walls that shows up in mid summer is condensation from inside air, not water seeping through. And the little that does come through does not amount to much at all, unless there are leaks or cracks or excessive hydrostatic pressure which will eventually force water through. The BEST solution to moisture or water coming through the wall is to divert the water away from the foundation by drainage, sump pumps, gutters, and landscaping. The next best solution is to patch up the cracks as good as possible and install some sort of interior drainage system if needed - but that is a poor second choice. Sometimes, a wheelbarrow, a shovel, and some elbow grease to do a little landscaping to raise the grade near the house (keeping water draining away) is all that is needed. I just fixed one of our problem areas that way last summer. |

Many houses from the 60's on, have their below surface areas parged with tar or other waterproofing and some even wrapped in plastic. Unless there are cracks or extremely poor outside grading or downspout placement, vapor migration from outside is practically zero. New construction will have many gallons of water in the concrete and block walls required for the mixing and processing of them. It can take up to 3 years to totally remove that excessive moisture depending on the processes used to remove the moisture from the structure. Many of the waterproofing products use various methods for applying their waterproofing solutions which are in essence paint. Any good waterproofing will contain hydraulic cement and most likely not painted on per se. Hydraulic cement is a powdered limestone that has been heated to higher temperatures than general purpose cement and it is very dry. It gains it's strength by being confined. If you put it into a hole or crack, as it cures, it also expands and becomes very strong. If you were to smear it onto a wall without cracks or fizures, it will dry hard and in a few years, it will start to powder off the surface except those areas where pressure has been experienced through swelling into a crack or hole. You can mix hydraulic cement into a ball, submerse it in water and plug a hole and within about 3 minutes will swell,cure, and plug the hole even if water had been agressivly flowing through it. You can buy hydraulic cement at any home supply or hardware store. When you mix it, mix only the amount you will use in 3 minutes. It cures similar to how an epoxy will cure (although it is not an epoxy, it is limestone)in that it hardens at the same rate all the way through.It gets very hot as it is curing and can burn your skin if not careful. If you use warm or hot water, it will cure much faster. I would suggest only mixing (using cold water) an amount you will use in 2 minutes. Obviously this is a time consuming process and as you work it into pores of cinder block and cracks, you need to smooth the excess off to make it look nice, after assuring it has been forced into pores and cracks. Once allowed to dry, the areas treated will have strong and permanent waterproofing properties. Then paint can be applied if desired. Unfortunatly, if there is a major water problem outside (especially where hydrostatic pressure can build) the repaired area, water will eventually seek a source which will allow it to come in. However, water vapor will not be an issue. It appears it will come in and migrate to areas where you have expensive items stored or as any mechanic or handyman will tell you, where metal is stored and can rust. |

drylock, sanitred, etc. Do Not Work, They are a temporary problem solving paint. they are good for small cracks. The only product that is actually Proven and Tested to WaterProof is "Armor Guard", ArmorGuard is certified green, odorless and non toxic. its a coating, NOT PAINT. its used to coat seawalls, aquariums, and dams, its an industrial coating. look on www.ecosmartalternative.com for more information. |

Thank you to everyone who posted here. But I have a bigger problem and wonder if there are any suggestions or solutions. Approximately 10 years ago, we drylocked 1/2 or our basement. Only the side that we were using at the time. We couldn't afford to finish the basement and wanted it to be more presentable, so we were just going to paint it. But after a trip to Home Depot and talking with their friendly helper, he convinced us to use drylock. It was white, which was more presentable and it would seal the basement which would keep it dry. So, being the trusting people we were, we bought it and applied it. It worked well for about a year. Then imagine our surprise when we found mold! And not just a little mold, but mold on every box, every toy, walls, furniture. To the tune of thousands of dollars of cleanup, plastic boxes, ruined furniture, ruined clothing, medical bills, headaches. . . and so on. After the extensive cleanup (which we consulted with a mold expert on), it came back 3 times! This is exhausting. I'm at my wits end with this. Any ideas? Thanks!! |
The information from the Owens Corning guy is ridiculous. He's just a salesman. If you want to know what will waterproof a below grade block wall look at what is specified for the repair of elevator pits: chemical grout injection and/or hydraulic cement. |
Install two large dehumidifiers connected to waste lines. Set them so they cycle off from time to time. Location is not important. Be prepared to replace them every few years. |
rdasmile1352 The only long term solution to fix water/moisture from getting into a basement through the walls is to prevent the water/moisture from the OUTSIDE. That means digging away all the dirt around the basement and applying water proofing materials. Doing that to a specific area that leaks can work. There is another problem that can cause water in basements. Water UNDER the floor. From a spring or from the water table. The only solution I have found for that problem is done by removing the floor along the walls, adding a water catching/channeling system with sump pumps, replacing the concrete(while leaving a narrow gap all along the walls), gluing heavy duty plastic to the walls(the gluing is done in strips with a special glue) and then finishing the walls by adding 2x4 walls installed about an inch inside the narrow strips. I worked on three houses where there had been several attempts to use Drylok or other inside fixes. None of the solutions(including using dehumidifiers) worked. None of the three. The only cures that solved the problem were as I described above. I have no connection with any other company, I do not own any stock, much less in any repair company, and often disbelieve most advertising. But, the one company in all three cases I mentioned was Dry Basement in Kansas City, Missouri. They came on time, did the work in the time specified(less than two days) and the water/moisture problems in all three houses disappeared. The three basements were completely finished(sheetrock, wood trim, paneling, etc.) and after 5 to nine years there has been no water/moisture problems. Is it expensive? Sure. One house cost $7,000. Can you spend that much or more over time. I'd venture to say yes. |

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! And it SHOULD be taken off the market. First of all, the paint gets brittle and will chip off in patches within a few years, so it does no good. Secondly, it compresses moisture inside of the block and erodes it. More than once I have seen pieces of foundation wall come off at a light touch because water was stuck in the wall. |

I have a home built in about 1929. all four basement walls are below grade and composed of glazed ceramic block. The house sits on a slope, the back wall being the uphill side and leaking the most. My landscaping angles away from the house so i don't think that's the issue. There are some small cracks in the morter that squirt in water but no cracks to be seen in the ceramic blocks. The basement was painted at one time but the paint is flaking off the glazed surfaces. The floor is unfinished concrete but the edges and corners are lower that the middle so water puddles in the corner. I was thinking of repairing the cracks and drylocking the walls but idk if that would work based on some research iv done. Will it just peel off as this old paint has already began to do? Will it stick to the glazed surfaces? Will i have to pressure wash/wire wheel off ALL the existing paint? If drylock wont work what are my options other than digging around the foundation and water proofing externally, internal trenches and sump pumps? Perhaps if i just repaired the morter with cement that would sure my issues? any help would be great. |
I too have a tuck under concrete block wall garage like Tom P PA (2005). I also have a slight dampness in two spots. Reading that Drylok or paints of this type seem to not be preferable, is there a stain that would allow for vapor/moisture transfer and yet have some color enhancement for the walls? |
"Secondly, it compresses moisture inside of the block and erodes it. More than once I have seen pieces of foundation wall come off at a light touch because water was stuck in the wall." There was a lot of other problems if water damaged a concrete or block wall. Those materials are considered waterproof, to the extent water does not harm them. Freezing of water saturated walls is a different matter. |

I would recomend a waterproof cement and then a painting we call it "tanking" in the UK |
I have seen many a dryloked basement where the drylok was peeling and a black mold was growing behind it or showing through as a dark stain usually towards the bottom of the wall. My applications on basement walls and floors is always with Hydroseal 75. This is a waterbase epoxy that is mixed 1 to 1 prior to paint on application. One great feature is it is odorless and another is it is applied with paint rollers and brushes. I always paint out a rollers lenght on the floor and if there is a gap where the floor meets the wall I mix concrete sand mix into the Hydroseal 75 and make a mortar that I can force into the gap or joint with the back of a spoon. Then two coats over the entire area I am coating does the trick. 1 day to apply 2 coats and patching , all with one product. I have not found anything better and easier to apply or anything that stops water better. This is easy epoxy to work with, has no smell, comes with an anti microbial added so it will not support mold growth and is sold in singles gallons or pails so you can buy as little as you like or do a test area with a gallon. I use the gray almost always but it is available in white as well. The white can be pigmented with universal tint. I have also mixed it with hydraulic cement in very wet situations where the concrete was to wet to let the Hydroseal dry, and I have sprayed the Hydroseal 75 through an airless spayer to do a stone foundation over 100 years old. Mostly though I roll it and patch with it. this stuff works great and there is a need for this type of product. Not all coatings peel off; like the guy said above, you need a coating that is used in elevator pits that can stand high amounts of pressure like Hydroseal 75 |

One of the reasons concrete waterproofing paints flake off is because the wall had efflorescence on it prior to painting. The moisture coming through the wall carries salts and other chemical compounds to the surface of the wall. It often dries as a white powder. It should be completely rinsed from the wall prior to painting. Special efflorescence cleaners which are available at hardware / big box stores usually contain some form of acid. Muriatic acid diluted 1:12 with water can also be used, but produces fumes which can be toxic (so ventilate the area with fresh air). Saturate the wall prior to using acid products, because you only want the acid on the surface rather than soaking into the wall. Acid soaking into the wall will deteriorate the wall. Sponge the wall with fresh drinkable water to remove the excess acid and the efflorescent chemicals. Only then are you ready to paint the waterproofing coating onto the wall. The link below from the Masonry Institute website discusses efflorescence, with information for removal at the end of the article. |

Let me start by saying that I own quite a few super dark shades..over 24 at the moment. The ones I have that are closest to Vamp are Essie Wicked, Revlon Vixen, OPI Black Magic Mountain, OPI Mrs. O'Leary's BBQ, and Isa Dora Midnight Red. I have to say that I find Vamp's color unique. It has a nice balance between plummy and red tones with a deep, subtle shimmer that shows up in sunlight. The rest of the time, it looks like a glossy creme that's somewhere between the color of dried blood and a dark bing cherry. Colorwise, I do agree that Vamp has something that it's many clones just haven't been able to capture. It's that subtle shimmer that Chanel does so well. That being said, I prefer the darker Essie Wicked with its dried blood look or the darker and more eggplant tones of OPI Black Magic Mountain. Both also last much better on my nails than Chanel's formula. I know that some people get great wear out of Chanel polish, but I am not one of them. This is my fourth Chanel and performance is as lackluster as always. With Vamp, I had noticeable tip wear after 8 hrs. Granted, even the best performers only last 3-4 days on my nails, but for the price, I expect Chanel to at least perform at the same level as the best. I wish I would have learned my lesson the first 3 times that I tried Chanel. I would not get this polish again and if I keep my current bottle, it will be just to have this famous polish in my collection.

A very sexy, creamy, and ultra shiny blackend red. My favorite of the "vampy" colors. I love that it takes only 2 thin coats to get streak-free gorgeous coverage. I've had great luck with Chanel's lasting power and this one did not disappoint. Dark colors can tend to chip quickly, but I got 6 days of great wear out of my mani. A staple in my n/p wardrobe.
Don't be fooled into thinking that the Vamp you just bought at the Chanel counter is the original one, which was called Rouge Noir (Red Black = Ripe Black Cherry)! The current vamp, as one reviewer noted is more like BBQ sauce, very nice, just not the Vamp you may have heard of for years, which is only available in Europe as Rouge Noir!

beautiful maroon color. gorgeous packaging. kinda weird that the top screws off and a bit pricey. overall: excellent.
It's nice, but not as wonderful as the hype would have you believe. As mentioned below, Mrs O'leary's BBQ by OPI is very similar. I love rich deep reds, and this one was nice. But I have others as nice for far less money. And very slow drying. Just not a HG for me.
Finally caved and tried this much-raved about color after previously trying and liking Essie Wicked. Vamp is a gorgeous, blackened-red with an underlying purplish tone. Similar to Wicked, but I think I like Vamp a little more. I also hope that Chanel does not chip as quickly as Essie, my biggest gripe with the Essie line. As with Wicked and any other dark color, you have to take your time and apply thin coats, but your patience will pay off...Vamp is such a classy color and perfect for these colder winter months.

I love this color. It is both sexy and classy. You need to use a base and top coat with this. Dark colors do not last as well and any error can be seen a mile away.
This shade looks best on short, rounded, well manicured nails anything to long could possibly be translated as trashy.
Alas I think OPI has come up with a great sub for this shade. Mrs's O'Learys BBQ. Check it out!

17 Problems Only Disney Princesses Understand
1. You wear the same outfit every day. Even if it is cute, dont you ever want to switch it up with some Forever 21 crop top?
MORE: Cara Delevingne's New Disney Jeans Are The Best Things Ever
3. You cant ever cut your hair. No #shorthairdontcare for you.
4. Theres a pretty good chance youll be a maid for awhile. Or live alone in a tower. With no WiFi.
5. You have zero female friends whatsoever. No, that female bluebird does not count as a girlfriend. She cannot give an eloquent, yet appealingly edgy toast at your wedding reception.
6. Youre not allowed to have a BGF.
7. Youre pretty much trapped in whatever situation youre in. To start.
8. You have no cell phone. We dont think we need to tell you why this is a problem.
9. You never get to french kiss.
11. People photoshop Nicolas Cage's head onto your body.
13. Your stepmom is usually evil.
14. Jafar.
15. Youre kind of sassy sometimes, but not when it counts. We're glad you can spit a good game, but you sure didn't try to get out of that tower yourself.
16. You have to sing, even when youre sad. Sometimes you just do NOT feel like singing a lovely ballad about how everything sucks.
17. You have to rely on a guy (and occasionally a fairy godmother) to do everything. And at the end of the day, your only reward is a boyfriend. (Not you, Merida.)

Invading personal space of others is a very common thing in India because we do not know what a personal space is? In India, we develop as a society which lives in the personal spaces of each other. Every morning it starts with the loud speaker voices of Mandirs, Masjids and Gurudawars. The loud speaker voices are so loud that the people living in the adjacent 2km year radius get easily these voices entering their ears. A similar kind of trend also can be seen in marriages where people run high loudspeakers up to the mid night. In elections by political parties, on general day's shops with some kind of sales and with latest high tech mobile phones at any place, people can make us to listen the unwanted things. We tolerate all this as a routine of our life, some time for religious tolerance, some times as a good social person and some time for not creating any fight. Most importantly, people should take care of the personal space of others and not try to invade it unnecessarily. However, every thing is not going to change in India in future because most of do not what a personal space is and why it is important to respect the personal space of others. For example, in the morning when I was traveling through Shatabdi Train then two persons were continuously playing music on high volume through their mobile while this thing was hurting many people getting sleep and was creating a noise pollution. The same people can have opted for hearing this music on the headphone while not disturbing the others.

With Tam's top attacking player out for most of the season, coach Dustin Nygaard knew he needed a big season from midfielder Lucas Janetos this year. Janetos, the Marin Independent Journal's boys soccer player of the year, did his part to help fill the void created when Teddy Mauze was injured, delivering 15 goals and 20 assists to help the Red-tailed Hawks win their fourth consecutive MCAL title and their second North Coast Section Division I title in a row.
"Between losing Teddy and graduating (Julien Melendez and Tesfaye Paine), we were without any experienced attackers at all for the first part of the year," Nygaard said. "Lucas played holding mid and outside back most of his career. I turned him into more of an attacking mid this year. ... He really blossomed into a really dangerous offensive player which speaks volumes about his overall game."
Janetos saved his best game for last, scoring a goal and assisting on two others to lead Tam to a rousing come-from-behind victory against top-seeded Montgomery in the section title game.
"That was definitely my most memorable game," Janetos said. "The whole team played really well. To get that back-to-back NCS championship and have that be (my) last high school game, that was pretty sweet."
Janetos will continue to play club soccer for Marin FC while preparing himself to take the next step in his playing career at Yale next fall.
"I'm just going to keep playing as much as I can," Janetos said about preparing for college soccer. "Get as many quality games under my belt as I can and work on my fitness level. The biggest transition is the speed of play in college."

Dear Editor:
Readers of my letters to the editor over the years will not be surprised to learn that the city Campaign Finance Board has charged state Assemblyman David Weprin with numerousviolations from his ill-fated 2009 city comptroller campaign.Weprin personally owes $28,000 in penalties and his old campaign committee must return $325,561 in matching public campaign funds.
How ironic that former City Council Finance Committee Chairman Weprin's claim to fame for holding or running for higher public office was his so-called "financial expertise." Responsibility for adhering to all CFB rules and regulations resides with Weprin, along with his campaign manager and finance directors. They clearly could not balance and properly manage his city comptroller campaign budget, which resulted in all these fines.
Weprin raised and spent several million dollars. A majority came from "pay-to-play" fundraisers, from $1,000 to $4,900 per contributor. These dollars supported his numerous quests to hold various public offices and leadership positions. Contributors were looking to making political investments today in return for favors in the future.
All the money in the world could not buy Weprin victories in his bids for City Council speaker in 2001 and 2005, state Comptroller in 2007 and Congress in 2011.
Weprin's September 2009 Democratic primary loss for city comptroller was devastating. Out of 351,000 Primary Day voters, only 38,922 actually voted for Weprin. Having raised and spent almost $2.5 million dollars, each vote cost him $64 representing a terrible return on his investment.
Perhaps Weprin should consider taking a finance course to rekindle his accounting skills.

From Green Right Now Reports
Kimberly-Clark Professional, a division of the paper products company serving commercial and institutional facilities, said today it is launching an awareness campaign that encourages industry professionals to go beyond recycling and think about reducing what they use in the first place.
The company said the campaign called "Reduce Today, Respect Tomorrow" will be its first environmentally focused, global communications effort.
One of four global business sectors within Kimberly-Clark Corp., Kimberly-Clark Professional is among the world's largest manufacturers of washroom products, serving office buildings, hotels, schools, health-care facilities, manufacturing plants and other public buildings.
"Our ongoing efforts to achieve outstanding environmental performance are not just our responsibility as corporate citizens, they are vital to our success as a business," Jan Spencer, president of Global Kimberly-Clark Professional, said in a statement. "These efforts are also guided by global, company-wide objectives for improving operational performance in energy, water, waste, and environmental management systems."
The company said that while many regard recycled fiber content as the main measure of environmental stewardship, Kimberly-Clark Professional wants to reduce environmental impact at every stage of a product's lifecycle. K-C said that by practicing "source reduction" it can essentially prevent waste before it is ever created. If less is consumed in the first place, it often means there is less packaging waste, which further reduces the amount of waste to recycle, or send to landfills.
Kimberly-Clark Professional said it has implemented other practices to reduce the environmental impact of products, including:
- Developing unique fiber-efficient technologies, such as the patented UCTAD manufacturing process, which reduces by up to 17 percent the amount of fiber needed to make tissue, towel and wiper products versus competitive wet press technology.
- Compressing or redesigning products and packaging so that more fits into every case.
- Introducing products such as Scott Coreless Standard Roll Bath Tissue, which reduces packaging waste by nearly 55 percent, compared with standard roll bath tissue — including 100 percent core and paper wrap elimination.
- Resizing cases to optimize how they fit onto standard pallets, so truck space can be used more effectively, reducing the total number of deliveries needed to fill orders.

Two Bosses Enter: Mannoroth vs. Lord Godfrey {WoW}
Apr 2nd 2012 6:55PM Godfery can still pinch this.
With Tyrande's help, Valo'then wont be an issue. Meanwhile in the main bout, Illidan's glaives to the face of Mannoroth keep his attention, allwoing Godfery to get off the odd pistol barrage. Mannoroth wont even realise "Tex" Godfery is even there until he cops a sword to the guts.
This is where things get tough.
Mannoroth is now annoyed at himself for FF'ing Illidan. Godfery pops his ghouls and leads him a merry dance. Godfery is smart enough to wait till after the fel fire has cleared a bit to pop his pistol barrage then summon a fresh lot oh ghouls. Meanwhile Illidan is still applying judicious amounts of Glaive to Face pain. Godfery makes use of Tyrande's buffs when possible.
Finally Manaroth becomes bored with the game and buggers off, Godfery Hearths back to Shadowfang just in time for the next unfortunatle matched group of ilevel 33 randoms to attempt him in his cellar.

Mar 15th 2012 9:26PM I believe repeatable dailes were in vanilla but they didn't amount to anything. (Old Wildhammer Dalies) Possibliy the wintersaber ones to but I may be wrong there.
I have never been a fan of daily quests. Ever. I did Shatari skyguard and Ogrila and got halfway through the netherwing ones and that was ok. I like popping out my ray still!
Quel'dannis killed it for me. I wasnt up with teh content then and had better thhings to do. I still got my title by the end of it but it felt compulsary.

Personally I would rather something encoraging guild run to make guilds more meaningful again. Getting nostalgic here but I loved doing guild runs in vanilla for nature res gear, gearing up newbies and the ever elusive UBRS run for the carapace. Felt more fun I suppose. Perhaps a system when you earn points for doing guild runs that you can spend on valor like gear and a cash reward? Or at least offer some alternative.

This leaves me with 2 optioins.
Ride of with the group and let the opposing faction recap, wich results in "Waly, you said you were going to D at LM you suck"
Conversely I remain and get smashed by 1,370,000 Allies and loose anyway.
1 DPS or even better a prot, blood or feral to hang around and we hold it for the whole game. I want my bonus honor and conquest points TYVM.

Feb 26th 2012 9:54PM 1) Damn you and you ass-kandy Rossi. You had me back in BWL the other day to get the bloody think for my pally!
2) Being in BWL reminded me of the firemaw fight (i think) where you had to dip out of LoS to drop the flame buffet. DPS had god forbid, use a pot or bandage cause there was a standing order from myself and the other healing leader not heal the DPS. We even booted people from the raid and would take an undergeared but more consumate raider who had a stack of bandages and pots for the fight. We even booted a healer once for going OOM and causing a wipe cause he was healing his mate in the DPS. They really have it easy these days the DPS. Here's hoping that bandaging becomes more commonplace in raids. It kept the DPSon their toes and made smarter players.

IF what Ensidia say is true and the rogues use the bombs in their rotation.... That's just epic fail on Blizzards part.
Besides most of of who raid have used and exploit from time to time. Gonna take our Saurfang kills from the first week away because we could use one tank? Gonna take away Malchezaar kills pre the safe spots being removed? From memory you could staid in a certain spot and not have to dance with Heigan in Naxx 40man. Use of the Luffa early on in the piece on Mores? How many other fights are made trivial by clever use of class mechanics or items.
This is only an issue because its a world first.

Not broken no, but for that fight as the ooze tank....../facepalm!
As for our DPS, we dropped Fester with 2 warrior tanks. is its JUST enough atm.

Lonely In KC
Ever wonder what it would be like to live in Kansas City and not know anyone?
Loneliness is a feeling that we have all experienced at one time or another in our lives, but for some it can be a chronic condition that affects their physical and emotional well-being.
On Tuesday's Central Standard, we'll talk to resident psychologist Dr. Bruce Liese, and sociologist Monica Kirkpatrick Johnson from Washington State University, about the causes and treatment of this strictly human condition.
We'll also be joined by Matt Pearce, author of the recent Pitch article Can't A Guy Just Make Some Friends Around Here? Maybe. that examined what it's like living anonymously in Kansas City.
And as always, we want to hear from you. Call 816-235-2888 during the show, or email email@example.com.

100 Frum Things
(14) Bina, March 29, 2014 8:40 PM
As a start, I plan to get rid of 100 things.
...then a hundred more next week, and then a hundred more! Thanks Lori, I may eventually get down to100 things, but I doubt it. But I think losing 100 at a time is a good idea. I started by losing 20-25 shoes to the donation box on the corner. Next will be a box of 20-25 dishes to the GoodWill. Then clothes. Then ...Wish me luck !

As a frum person running a normal home-impossible!
As frum pple, we need a lot of stuff. Look at the difference between a weekday dinner and a shabbos table. Yes, we have a lot of stuff to beautify the shabbos- candle, becher, challa board, challa cover,nice dishes, white tablecloth, shabbos clothing...i dont think we should be disposing of all that! I'm sure all items above is already 100 items! And that's just one small pc of our life! Don't think this can work for a frum family unless god forbid there was some extreme life situation having them live at poverty

Anyone who uses the awesome Movie Guide capability in Media Center to view currently aired and upcoming movies has noticed for almost a year now that the cover art is missing for Movies from 2010 til the present. Instead of Cover Art, one of the following is displayed: blank blue box, a blank DVD, or the title of the movie.
To reproduce issue:
1) Launch Windows Media Center
2) Under Movies, select movie guide
3) Select genres then All
4) Select By Year
Examples of movies made in 2011 and 2010 with no cover art:

There are two active Feedback entries on the Microsoft Connect Windows Media Center Feedback website, one of which has a whopping 94 votes!

Sandack claims victory in state House primary
Rep. Ron Sandack of Downers Grove claimed victory in a heated state House contest in which only 153 votes separate the Republican opponents, according to unofficial tallies.
Sandack squeaked past Downers Grove school board member Keith Matune in the 81st District Republican primary with 50.6 percent to 49.4 percent of the votes, according to preliminary numbers.
"I expected it to be close," Sandack said Wednesday. "This was an extremely difficult race. There were clear issues of divide. I've been trying to expand the party's base and get more people into the party and focus on the issues that affect all families, which is the financial future of the state."
Matune, a member of the Community High School District 99 school board, conceded the race late Wednesday.
"This has been a particularly tough and public race. Both sides were passionate about supporting their candidate and that's a good thing, because we need people to become reengaged with their government and the democratic process. But this current race has come to an end," Matune said in a press release issued Wednesday evening.
The race became contentious from the get-go, as Matune lambasted Sandack for endorsing gay marriage legislation and for not upholding bona fide conservative values, while Sandack and his supporters accused Matune of not being forthright about misdemeanor pleas to public indecency and criminal trespass as a college student in the 1990s.
The vitriol intensified in recent weeks over social media and through mailers supporting each candidate. Sandack acknowledged the charged tone but declined to discuss it further, saying that he needed time to carefully reflect on all that had happened.
Noting the near 50-50 split of voters, Sandack said he is now focusing on reaching out to the residents that sided against him.
"My next step is to shore up different constituencies to make sure they know that their voice will be heard and that I will listen to them," he said. "I think it is about focusing on the issues that matter to all, like the financial future of the state."
Robert T. Saar, executive director for the DuPage County Election Commission, said there are 61 absentee ballots yet to have been collected and 50 provisional ballots that will be scrutinized.
Saar said the commission does not automatically recount or reassess votes in close elections, as is the custom in other states. In cases where the losing candidate garnered at least 95 percent of the votes of the winner, he said, he or she can file a petition for discovery, in which the candidate can request to review the ballots and to have the machines retested, among other measures.
The candidate could then file suit in circuit court to make the case that there is overwhelming evidence indicating that a recount would overturn the results, Saar said.
"The Election Commission is a neutral party. We have no horse in this," Saar said.
DuPage officials will begin retabulating the results on March 25. The state elections board is scheduled to certify the results April 18.
The 81st District encompasses parts of Bolingbrook, Downers Grove, Naperville, Lisle, Darien, Westmont and Woodridge. There was no Democratic candidate on the March 18 ballot.

Uviedo Wins, Gimenez Homers
Not many winter league playoff games today, but a few player moves:
LHP Wil Ledezma had been DFA'ed right before Christmas, and yesterday he was claimed off waivers by the Blue Jays.
Both INF Delwyn Young and RHP Brian Bass signed minor league contracts with the Phillies today.
Earlier in the week, RHP Joe Martinez, who had also been DFA'ed by the Pirates shortly before Christmas, was traded to the Blue Jays for cash considerations.
Leones del Caracas 11, Bravos de Margarita 3 — Los Leones posted 14 hits, which was enough to make up for their 3 errors. Three singles and a Bravos' fielding error gave Los Leones their first 3 runs in the 2nd inning. In the third, the first six Caracas batters reached base — a double, two singles, and three walks (including a walk by LF Mike Ryan) — then a sacrifice fly and another single gave Los Leones 5 runs. A 3-run homer in the 8th capped their scoring. Margarita scored one run in the 6th, with the help of one of those errors. An error by Ryan in left field, plus a walk and two singles (one by C JR House) brought in two more runs in the 9th. Ronald Uviedo earned the win for Caracas, going 6 innings and allowing only the unearned run in the 6th inning, on 3 hits and a walk, with 5 strikeouts.
Caribes de Anzoategui 5, Tigres de Aragua 4 — New Blue Jay Wil Ledezma came into the game for Los Tigres in the 6th inning with one run in and runners on the corners. Ledezma gave up a single, which broke a 4-4 tie, and eventually gave the win to Los Caribes. Ledezma also retired the side in order in the 7th. Los Caribes started the game with 3 runs in the bottom of the 1st, on a single, a double, an error, and a sacrifice fly. Los Tigres scored one run in the 2nd, when 1B Hector Gimenez walked, then scored on an RBI double. Gimenez added a 2-run homer in the 4th, and another homer in the 5th gave Aragua their 4 runs. LF Lastings Milledge singled and stole second base in the 6th, and advanced to third base on another single, but he got no further. C Raul Chavez went 0-for-3 for Los Tigres.
Venezuelan League Round-Up
A quick look at what some of the Pirates' players and friends were up to in the Venezuelan League recently:
Anthony Claggett joined Los Bravos de Margarita, and has made two relief appearances. On the 17th, he pitched one inning, giving up only a 2-out double, then finishing the inning with a groundout. On the 21st, Claggett pitched 2 innings and allowed only a single to former Indy Indian Jorge Cortes, who he then erased in a double play.
Los Tigres de Aragua got two hits each from1B Hector Gimenez, SS Ronny Cedeno, and C Raul Chavez on the 17th. Unfortunately their only run in the game was Gimenez's solo home run. Brian Bass made the start for Los Tigres on the 19th. He pitched 5 innings and gave up 4 runs — one run on a pair of singles and his own throwing error in the 1st inning, and 3 runs on a homer then two walks and 3 singles in the 3rd. The score was tied when Bass left the game. Lastings Milledge contributed a 2-run homer for Los Tigres in the 1st. Aragua won the game in the bottom of the 10th on a walk-off RBI single by Cortes.
Also on the 19th, Sean Gallagher suffered his third loss of the season for Los Navegantes. He pitched 4 innings against Los Aguilas del Zulia and gave up 4 runs on 8 hits. In the 3rd inning, he allowed a 2-run homer, then in the 4th, Gallagher gave up 2 more runs on a walk and 3 singles.
Justin Thomas earned the win (his first in Venezuela) for Los Bravos de Margarita on Saturday the 20th. He was first charged with a blown save when he gave up a solo home run in the bottom of the 7th to Los Navegantes del Magallanes. But he was then credited with the win when Margarita hit a 3-run homer in the top of the 7th. Corey Hamman also was charged with a blown save for Magallanes in that same game, when he faced 3 Margarita batters in the 5th inning and gave up a homer, a single, and a double. Jean Machi pitched the top of the 9th for Magallanes and got three ground outs.
Gallagher and Bass Have Good Starts In Venezuela
Cheering for the Pirates' farmhands and friends in Saturday's winter league games…
Cardenales de Lara 2, Tigres de Aragua 1 — Brian Bass suffered the loss for Los Tigres, though he did not pitch poorly. Bass threw 7.2 innings and scattered 5 hits and 3 walks. He gave up a run on a single and a double in the 3rd inning, and another on a hit batter and a double in the 6th. A walk and a double play on a bouncer back to the mound started the 8th inning, then Bass was relieved. Los Tigres scored their only run in the 5th inning. A pair of singles and a walk loaded the bases for SS Ronny Cedeno, whose sacrifice fly plated the run. Cedeno singled in the 1st inning. LF Lastings Milledge singled in the 4th inning, but he was picked off. DH Hector Gimenez doubled in the 8th, but was left on base. CF Jorge Cortes was the only Tigres batter with 2 hits, both singles. Romulo Sanchez pitched to two batters in the 6th for Lara — he walked Milledge, then got a ground out.
Navegantes del Magallanes 6, Leones del Caracas 3 — Sean Gallagher earned his third win for Magallanes, going 5 innings in this start. Gallagher faced only one batter over the minimum over the first three innings, allowing just a walk in the top of the 1st. He allowed a lead-off homer to DH Jesus Guzman in the 4th, then a single and a double in that inning. Guzman got to Gallagher again in the 5th, with a 2-run homer. Jean Machi earned his 5th save of the season with a scoreless top of the 9th for Magallanes, allowing only a single to
Tigres del Licey 5, Toros del Este 2 — C Jason Jaramillo drove in one of Los Toros' runs with a sacrifice fly in the 2nd inning, but Los Toros would not score after that. SS Pedro Ciriaco singled in the 9th innning, but was left on base. Los Tigres scored one run in the 3rd, and tied the game with a solo homer in the 5th. Licey took the lead in the 6th. Pinch-hitter Jake Fox began the rally with a single, and he came in on an RBI single. C Robinzon Diaz gave the team a pair of insurance runs with a 2-RBI single.

The Formation of the Modern UCSC landscapeStarting about 130 million years ago, the UCSC landscape was repeatedly found at the bottom of many oceans of varying depths. The dead marine organisms, mud, and sand deposited at the bottom of these oceans formed limestone, mudstone, and sandstone, which later metamorphosed into marble, schist, and quartzite. Between 130 to 91 million years ago, intrusions of magma forced their way into these rock layers; once cool, they formed various granitic rocks. Over the last 3 million years, as the North American and Pacific plates slid past one another along the San Andreas Fault system, the Santa Cruz mountains (and UCSC) have risen up beyond the reach of the sea. This most recent of repeated periods of uplift has exposed the rocks mentioned above in various places on campus (see map). Meanwhile, the erosive force from wave action and an ever-changing sea level combined to carve marine terraces that are still distinctly visible on campus and even more so south and west of UCSC. Much of the campus bedrock remains covered by the most recent deposits of sediment associated with the marine terraces' formation. |

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

House Republicans say former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton bears responsibility for last September's attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
Four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stephens, died in the attack. An interim report faults Clinton and other senior State Department officials for approving security reductions at the Benghazi facility.
"Senior State Department officials knew that the threat environment in Benghazi was high and that the Benghazi compound was vulnerable and unable to withstand an attack, yet the department continued to systematically withdraw security personnel," the report said.
The report is also critical of President Obama and White House staff. It accuses them of altering accurate talking points drafted by the U.S. intelligence community in order to protect the State Department.

At every one of their shows, Hometown is going to share with you tales from a town that you've never heard of, that never even existed until the moment Hometown started to create it. You give them a town name and that town's slogan, and they'll take it from there, using a combination of interview-style scenes, fast-paced play and wild character work to bring you inside the life and times of small-town (or big city) America (or Ireland or Brazil or south-west Uzbekistan).

I have seeds and seedlings available. Looking for other like shrubs or trees that can handle our weather swings and always able to handle drought. My want list was disolved by GW admin or other site related phenomena ,so in brief I like plants that can handle hot dry summers but wont drown if we get an unusually wet summer like this year. I would like to trade seedlings for seedlings and seeds for seeds.I have a strange work schedule but will work w/ you on an individual basis to make a successful trade. |
