The runners (risers) shall be either glass reinforced plastic, UHMW polymer or high density polyethylene. All nuts, bolts and washers shall be 304 stainless steel. All risers over 2 inches in height shall be reinforced. Wooden skids are not an acceptable alternate. III. INSTALLATION III.1. REFERENCE POINTS AND LAYOUT: The Contractor shall be responsible for setting all grade lines, centerline of construction, and locating property lines. JEA or the Owner will provide a bench mark. Any reference points, points of intersection, property corners, or bench marks, which are disturbed during construction, shall be restored by a Land Surveyor registered to practice in the State of Florida, and all costs thereof shall be borne by the Contractor. The Contractor shall assume all responsibility for the correctness of the grade and alignment stakes. III.2. HANDLING AND CUTTING PIPE: Every care shall be taken in handling and laying pipe and fittings to avoid damaging the pipe, scratching or marring machined surfaces, and abrasion of the pipe coating. The lined Pipe and Fittings must be handled only from the outside of the pipe and fittings. No forks, chains, straps, hooks, etc. shall be placed inside the pipe and fittings for lifting, positioning, or laying. If damaged, the material shall be repaired in accordance with the liner manufacturer's recommendations. Any fitting showing a crack and any fitting or pipe which has received a severe blow that may have caused an incipient fracture, even though no such fracture can be seen, shall be marked as rejected and removed at once from the work. In any pipe showing a distinct crack in which it is believed there is no incipient fracture beyond the limits of the visible crack, the cracked portion, if so approved by JEA, may be cut off before the pipe is laid so that the pipe used may be perfectly sound. The cut shall be made in the sound barrel at a point at least 12 inches from the visible limits of the crack. Except as otherwise approved, all cutting shall be done with a power driven cut off saw. All cut ends shall be examined for possible cracks caused by cutting. III.3. PIPE INSTALLATION: III.3.1. General: The pipe laying shall proceed upgrade, beginning at the lower end of the sewer, with all bell ends upgrade.

Pipe shall be laid to conform accurately to the lines and grades indicated on the drawings. It shall be the Contractors responsibility to locate all underground utilities in advance of construction, to insure that no conflicts occur with the proposed line and grade. The contractor shall coordinate utility locates with Sunshine State One-Call of Florida, Inc. (#800 /432-4770 or web site www.callsunshine.com), at a minimum. If approved by the Engineer, minor changes in the alignment but not the grade will be permitted to avoid underground facilities, provided that straight alignment can be maintained between manholes. However, if a conflict is found between an existing utility and Revised: August 1, 2008 Revised By: KGL Approved By: RHS GRAVITY SEWERS – SECTION 428 IV. 2. - Page 13 of 20 Water & Sewer Standards proposed grade, the Contractor is to furnish the Engineer all pertinent information so that remedial design can be performed. III.3.2. Laying and Jointing: The pipe shall be laid on an unyielding foundation with uniform bearing under the full length of the barrel of the pipe. Suitable excavations shall be made to receive the bell of each pipe, which shall be carefully laid true to line and grade. All adjustments to line and grade must be made by scraping away or filling in under the barrel of the pipe and not by wedging and blocking up any portion of the pipe. The spigot end of each pipe shall abut against the base of the socket of the adjacent pipe in such a manner that there will be no unevenness of any kind along the bottom halves of the pipes. Just before jointing the pipes, the mating ends shall be thoroughly cleaned of all dirt, debris, and foreign material. The pipe shall be jointed in accordance with the recommendations of the manufacturer of the pipe and gasket. The trench must be dewatered when joints are made and kept dewatered with a dry trench bottom, until pipe trench has been backfilled. The pipe shall not be driven down to grade by striking it with any unyielding object. The Contractor shall take all necessary precautions to prevent flotation of the pipe due to flooding of the trench. III.3.3. Pipe Cover: The cover over all piping shall be a minimum of 30 inches in unpaved areas and 36 inches in paved areas. III.3.4.

Good, but not great.
The story was pretty good in keeping with the character of the original German Grimm Faerie tales, but it seemed to put a little too much emphasis on setting the viewer up for the shocking finish. When the voice announced "The End" I didn't feel as though I had been challenged enough (intellectually) to have been dismissed by the smarmy voice of the female narrator. The animation was pretty good. The story, like I said before, was pretty good. But It wasn't great enough to warrant being betrayed by the narrator thinking I viewed this flash due to some physiological need to do so. The movie was good, but it was not great.
AIght, thanks a lot for the criticism :3

Great artwork, a little dark, but a nice little fairytale.
Rated 0 / 5 stars
Uhhh this is so exagerated its ...crap. Sorry but I really don't get this one. 1 must sleep at some point or the person dies. plain and simple. 1 cannot cry and fill an entire castle until people drown. I mean, is this castle glass proof; no windows, no glass, no doors ? Do you know what kind of pressure it puts the window or doors when a room is filled with water. Medival construction wasn't really precise so water would come from every corner of a door and/or window very easily.
If I had a baby that didn't sleep like that would I go emo...nope. I would try lots of stuff to make him sleep but if nopthing worked...I wont force him to sleep. Is this a fantasy story with a morale...probably so but I never saw that.
Once upon a time, there was a reviewer who rated flash animations and fairy tales on logic.

Super Bowl: Ben Kingsley Leads British Invasion in Jaguar 'Rendezvous' (Video)
Jaguar drove full speed onto the radars of the millions of viewers with their first-ever Super Bowl spot during the game's fourth quarter on Sunday.
The slick ad to launch the F-Type Coupe was dubbed "Rendezvous" and directed by Tom Hooper, who won the best director Oscar for The King's Speech, and featured Ben Kingsley, Tom Hiddleston and Mark Strong.
VIDEO: The Muppets Head to the Super Bowl in Toyota
The premise of the 60-second spot -- which was laden with cinematic action and British drollery -- is that British villains are as reliably intriguing as well-designed British sports cars.
"Rendezvous" was filmed in London in partnership with Hooper's Smuggler Films. The F-Type Coupe goes on sale this spring, starting at $65,000.
PHOTOS: 11 Outrageous Super Bowl Halftime Moments
Jaguar posted the full 60-second commercial ahead of the Super Bowl last week, as well as a making-of video that includes interviews with Hooper and the actors.

Fiber Ivory Ganesh Statue 11" Item # 1f2
Price: $99
Please take a minute and click here to tell us about your experience with Lotus Sculpture, our customer service and how you like your statue. We appreciate your feedback!
I bought a unique, one-of-a-kind statue from Lotus Sculpture which depict Krishna sitting sideways on a cow and playing his flute, while the cow has twisted her neck around so she can gaze up at him with loving eyes. It depicts a very touching moment. The cow's posture shows such love and devotion. I've never seen anything like it. The artistic balance between Krishna and the cow is wonderful, and Krishna is very well done, with a slight smile on his face as he plays his flute. It's the most remarkable statue of Krishna I've ever seen. In addition, the shipment was extremely prompt and a proper statement of value accompanied the statue. This has been a very good experience with Lotus Sculpture. --Maris WhitakerReviewer:Maris Whitaker (Boulder, Colorado, US)
Purchased a 19" painted Ganesha. It arrived last week and it is better than expected. It was very well packed. The colors are vibrant and the hues are perfect. I was afraid they might be garish in hand, but those fears were completely unfounded. Beautiful color palette. The carving is well detailed. It is a very handsome piece. I couldn't be happier with it In fact, I was so happy that I just finished purchasing a 36" painted Garuda. Once I saw the quality of the Ganesh I felt confident in purchasing a more expensive piece.

New US CFTC member wants cross-border rules rethink
WASHINGTON, Sept 23 (Reuters) – The U.S. swaps regulator
should revise its policy that determines how its rules apply
overseas, a new commissioner said on Tuesday, wading into a row
between international regulators and his own agency.
Rather than sticking to its so-called cross-border guidance,
the Commodity Futures Trading Commission should start a more
formal rule-making process and take in industry comments,
Commissioner Chris Giancarlo said.
U.S. Fed raps Santander over unsanctioned dividend
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Federal Reserve on Thursday disciplined Spain's Santander over paying out a dividend without approval, as it tightens control of how foreign banks manage risk in the United States.
In a written agreement with the Boston Fed, Santander Holdings USA, Inc. said it would tighten management standards to make sure it did not pay out any dividends without the prior written approval of the Fed.
U.S. watchdog CFTC proposes rules for uncleared swaps
WASHINGTON, Sept 17 (Reuters) – The U.S. derivatives
regulator on Wednesday proposed a new rule for safety margins
for uncleared swaps, a last remaining building block in its
efforts to make the $710 trillion global market safer.
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission's rule will be
largely identical to one proposed by bank regulators, which
determines the margin for swaps traded outside clearing houses,
firms that stand between buyers and sellers.
U.S. derivatives watchdog to propose rules for uncleared swaps
WASHINGTON, Sept 17 (Reuters) – The U.S. derivatives
regulator on Wednesday met to propose a new rule for safety
margins for uncleared swaps, a last remaining building block in
its efforts to make the $710 trillion global market safer.
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission said the rule will
be largely identical to one proposed by bank regulators, which
determines the margin for swaps traded outside clearing houses,
firms that stand between buyers and sellers.
U.S. court mostly upholds CFTC's cross-border rules on swaps
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A court on Tuesday largely rejected a challenge from banking groups to the way the U.S. swaps regulator applies its rules overseas, a hotly debated issue as it reins in the $710 trillion global market.
The majority of the claims by the three banking groups failed because the 2010 Dodd-Frank Wall Street reform law stated that the Commodity Futures Trading Commission could apply its rules to overseas business in certain cases, the ruling in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia said.
Bitcoin gets boost as U.S. watchdog approves first swap
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – TeraExchange on Friday launched a swap based on the bitcoin virtual currency, becoming the first to receive approval from a U.S. federal regulator for a financial product based on the budding technology.
The derivative allows clients to protect the value of their bitcoin holdings by locking in a dollar value, offering an insurance against the astronomical price swings that have plagued the computer-generated currency.
CFTC keeping tabs on LME amid aluminum warehousing crisis
NEW YORK (Reuters) – The U.S. commodities markets regulator is still keeping tabs on the London Metal Exchange as the 137-year-old exchange tries to resolve an ongoing crisis over its warehousing policy that end users say has inflated prices and distorted supplies.
In an interview with Reuters, Timothy Massad, the newly installed chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) said the regulator has been in touch with the LME as it prepares to launch a new aluminum contract in a bid to ease concerns that global aluminum pricing is broken.
U.S. regulator would welcome delay of EU clearing rules
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A top U.S. regulator said on Wednesday he would welcome a delay by the European Union that gave more time to resolve a conflict with Washington over making derivatives markets safer.
Reuters reported last week that the EU is discussing whether to move a deadline by which U.S. clearing houses, which act as go-betweens for buyers and sellers, must meet EU rules when doing business there.
MetLife contesting 'systemic' tag by U.S. risk council
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Insurer MetLife on Thursday spoke out strongly against a proposed government designation that would subject it to stronger regulatory oversight, saying it did not rule out any legal means to fight the decision.
MetLife is the third insurer to be tapped for such a designation as "systemically important," which comes with heavy capital requirements and strict supervision by the Federal Reserve comparable to that of the largest banks.
Exclusive: U.S., Europe head toward delay in squabble over swaps rules – source
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The European Union is discussing delaying a deadline for a second time in its efforts to reform the global derivatives market, a source familiar with the matter said, as talks with U.S. regulators have failed to produce a breakthrough on a main sticking point.
The two sides are still at odds on allowing clearing houses, which stand between buyers and sellers of derivatives to reduce risk, to operate in each others' jurisdictions.
