I got a sample size of these when I was out if town because I forgot my normal makeup wipes. Love these!! I have sensitive hormonal acne and rosacea prone skin and these don't sting my eyes or my skin and take makeup off so easily!! Plan on buying the full size next.

I know makeup wipes don't take off all of your make up, but these did a pretty good job. I still had to use a eye makeup remover to take off my mascara. They have no scent which is great. They didn't irritate my eyes at all. These are just okay. I really like the fact that they have no scent to them.

One of my favourite makeup wipes ever, removes every bit of makeup on my face, including eye liner and mascara. I don't use an eye makeup remover, only these wipes to take off all of my makeup and they work beautifully, Definitely worth checking out! They are kind of pricey, and you only get 25 wipes in a pack, but Simple constantly has coupons out or value packs in stores, so keep an eye out for those. I always have backups of these wipes, and I hope they don't change the formula anytime soon. The packaging could be better, I like snap closures, but that's only preference. The wipes are thick and saturated, but I find that sometimes the first few wipes can be drier than the rest, so I would suggest storing these upside down so every wipe is evenly covered in product. An excellent product!

I have never in my entire life had an allergic reaction to a product until I tried these wipes. For something that claims to be 'kind to skin' I am so very disappointed. I do not even have sensitive skin but 1 use of 1 wipe was enough to inflame my skin and cause a small rash. One day on and my face (mainly cheek area) is still sore, hot and red. I have used so many face products and so many brands of wipes (even super cheap ones) and have never experienced this before. From research on other sites this type of reaction isn't that rare with these wipes. Avoid.

I wait until Ulta has the 2 for one take together sale of these wipes for 6$ plus the 3.50 off or 20% off coupons. Whenever they go on sale I rush to Ulta and buy about 6-8 packs of face wipes that I use every day. A plus to these face wipes is that they can be cut in half and still be potent enough to take off all the face and eye makeup. Plus that don't irritate my skin or make it feel dry. Just clean!

I have been using these every night for years! They are very soft and gentle but leave my face feeling clean and refreshed. The sticky part on the wrapper doesn't stay closed very well though.

I have purchased this so many times! I buy these two at a time from Target, they smell delicious - like freshness and they remove makeup like a dream too. Everything gets removed with 1 wipe, not multiple ones. The MAC wipes which I have used before were a bit too 'loud' smelling so I am happy that I found a drugstore alternative. I just store these in my bathroom drawer upside down so that they don't dry out and every towel is moist from the first to the last.

Truly does not leave a residue, skin feels clean and refreshed, and removes my CG Lashblast Fusion Water Resistant Mascara. Honestly, I truly wonder if the mascara is "water resistant" because it does remove so easily. Anyway, this is one brand and type of wipes I repurchase frequently.

These wipes are fabulous. They feel clean and not at all irritant on my face and do a pretty good job of removing even the most stubborn eye makeup, though I do prefer my Mary Kay eye makeup remover for my eyes.

How is it on normal skin?
Well in my experience it stings my skin and leaves me with a greasy feeling. Although, its great for taking of make up and I use it daily to take of bb cream, eye-shadow, liquid liner, waterproof mascara and lip gloss.
What are the long term effects?
It doesn't change your skin at all.
Other people experience?
My friend has sensitive skin and when using it she says it hurts and stings a lot. She uses simple eye make up removal to remove all her make up instead of these wipes.
Would I buy it again and where to buy it?
Yes but only for make up removal. I buy it from the local supermarket or drug store.
Would I recommend it?
Only for removing make up.

Not only is this a fine example of a modern reef aquarium featuring a rimless design, T5 fixture and open aquascape, the frags in this glass box are stunning. How many frags can you count?

10 Megapixel DSLR group test

Kit lens corner sharpness: Canon EOS 400D / XTi vs Nikon D80 vs Sony Alpha A100
To measure corner sharpness we photographed the Enhanced Digital Camera Resolution Chart with each kit lens at its widest and longest focal lengths and with various apertures selected in Aperture Priority mode.
The crops are taken from the lower left corner of the chart and presented here at 100%. The 18mm crops show a larger area of the chart because minimum focusing distances forced us to shoot it from further away.
All three kit lenses are visibly soft in the extreme corners at wide angle with their apertures fully open. Closing the apertures improves matters across the board, most obviously on the Canon EF-S 18-55mm, although the Nikkor DX 18-70mm disappointingly still suffers beyond f8. Zooming-in to telephoto shows the Nikkor still has some issues in the extreme corners, while the Canon and Sony lenses deliver reasonably good results, if a little low in contrast.
Note: this is a particularly tough test which concentrates entirely on the extreme corners of the frames. Examining areas even just a little further in can yield far superior results, especially for the Nikkor lens, which revealingly out-performs its rivals on outdoor tests when focused at infinity. That said, it's a good result here for the Canon EF-S 18-55mm.

Loch Arkaig Road Latestby Dan Bailey - UKHillwalking.com Feb/2013
This news story has been read 1,032 times
The road along the north side of Loch Arkaig, a popular access route into Knoydart and the Rough Bounds, will be closed on and off for repairs for much of the spring. There have been changes to the timetable since we last reported.
The work to the road and bridges, reported here on UKH is now expected to stretch from February into May (not April, as previously thought). The precise timetable of events seems to be taking shape slowly. Here's the latest from the civil engineering firm in charge:
A few unknowns there still, then: we'll keep you abreast of any further updates from the engineers.

Forest agreed a fee with Walsall for Paterson last week and they look to have fended off interest from the likes of Middlesbrough, Huddersfield and Peterborough to land the 21-year-old.
All three clubs are believed to have expressed an interest in the player, but Forest are confident of bringing the 21-year-old to the City Ground.
Forest chief Billy Davies is keen to improve his side's creativity in wide areas and sees Paterson as a key addition to his squad for next season.
Paterson is believed to have agreed a three-year deal at Forest and is on the verge of becoming the club's third signing of the summer following the arrivals of Eric Lichaj and Gonzalo Jara.

Commissioners approve animal shelter money
HUNTINGTON — Cabell County Commissioners Nancy Cartmill and Bob Bailey approved an allocation of $25,000 to the Huntington-Cabell-Wayne Animal Shelter on Thursday.
The money has been in an account through the assessor's office dedicated to proceeds from the sale of dog tags. Although money have been allocated to the animal shelter from this fund in the past, County Manager Chris Tatum said no disbursements have been made since 2010.
Tatum said there are several needs at the animal shelter, including a new HVAC system, parking lot repair and a new porous flooring system recommended by the Humane Society. The most pressing is the HVAC system as winter approaches, he said.
Assessor Ottie Adkins said there is about $38,000 in the account, which also is used to pay claims to farmers for livestock that are killed by wild animals.
Commissioners also approved the hiring of Tim Keaton to replace Connie Gray as the administrator of grants, planning and permits for the county. Gray is retiring, effective Oct. 31. Keaton has been serving as a mitigation officer with the state department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management. He will be paid $33,000 per year.
Commissioners did not take action on a public hearing to allow the Pea Ridge Public Service District to expand its boundaries to the Mason County line along W.Va. 2.
Cartmill made a motion to approve the change, but Bailey did not second the motion. Commissioner Anne Yon, who last week gave birth to her second child, was absent.
Bailey objected to the change, saying those customers currently in the Pea Ridge district would have to bear the financial burden to pay for future expansions. Currently, there are no utilities other than electric running along the stretch of property the district wanted to incorporate.
However, it was noted that customers in the district pay the lowest average rate of any district in Cabell County, despite a 4.6 percent increase in 2011. The attorney for the district said the Pea Ridge board could bring the matter back to the commission if it chooses.
However, Thursday's action will not impact the district's project plans for the area that includes Alcon's new location and about 100 residences.

If you don't know who Chip Foose is, then you've probably been living under a rock for the past 10 years. This 2007 Foose Stallion is a Ford Mustang that has been given a full makeover by one of the most talented designers of all time, and if you've ever wished for a pro-built custom, this might be as close as you ever get for under six figures.
Tuner Mustangs are nothing new, but most are just a collection of bolt-ons and off-the-shelf pieces. Not this Foose Mustang. Every single aspect of the car was fine-tuned by the man himself, from the body components to the wheels to the interior, and if you're a fan of Chip's work, you'll see his signature style everywhere you look. Most notable is the exterior, which is still very much a Mustang, but now with more style, more aggression, and a totally unique look. The two-tone paint is a Foose trademark, with subtle colors that aren't your usual hot rod fare but always look right when he's done. A single red pinstripe separates the black and silver, a hot-rodding technique that works quite well on the 21st century Mustang. And despite being properly exercised and enjoyed, it remains in outstanding condition and continues to attract attention everywhere it goes. When people ask, you'll be able to proudly say that yes, it's #171 of only 220 built, and even at that, it has many unique features.
The ultra-clean look continues inside where it remains mostly stock. Where some tuners choose to add bright graphics, logos, and tacked-on gauges, Chip chooses to go the opposite direction and leave the good stuff alone. That means supportive leather buckets that are still in outstanding condition, a brushed-aluminum instrument panel, and those retro-styled gauges with the Foose logo on their faces. The three-spoke steering wheel is a marvel of packaging, adding an airbag without losing the classic Mustang look, and the stubby 5-speed shifter feels incredibly slick and precise. Everything is standard, including power windows, locks, and A/C, plus a powerful AM/FM/CD stereo system with in-dash CD changer. Custom Foose floor mats are a subtle reminder that this is no ordinary Mustang, and, of course, Chip signed the dash of each one of them. The trunk is neatly finished to stock specs, and includes a subwoofer enclosure for a big sound.
The Foose's 4.6-liter V8 is fortified with a few goodies to up the output to match its stunning good looks. The most notable upgrade is a cold air intake, but Foose also did his own programming on the ECM, so throttle response is immediate and it has a cackling bark that sure as heck doesn't sound stock (working with Ford does have its perks). The engine is beautifully maintained with fresh synthetic fluids throughout, including oil that was changed every 3000 miles by a meticulous owner. The suspension is upgraded with Ford Racing components for a lowered stance and more bite, plus a strut-tower brace and a K-member upgrade. Massive 20-inch Foose wheels are another signature feature, and wear 225/30/20 front and 285/30/20 rear Falken radials.
Fully documented with manuals and other Foose paraphernalia, this is a rare opportunity to own a limited-edition car designed by one of the best in the business. Call today!

University of Florida being sued by student run paper over removal of newspaper racks
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- A student-run newspaper is suing the University of Florida in federal court to stop the removal of orange newspaper racks from campus. The university has said it plans to remove more than 20 of the Independent Florida Alligator's distinctive racks next week. The racks would be replaced by black modular units owned by UF.
The Alligator's nonprofit owner filed a lawsuit late Wednesday in Gainesville federal court to challenge the plan on constitutional grounds. Campus Communications also seeks a preliminary injunction to stop the rack removal.Alligator attorney Thomas Julin tells The Gainesville Sun ( http://bit.ly/RwvJED ) that UF's plans "violate the First Amendment because they give too much discretion."
UF spokeswoman Janine Sikes says the newspaper refused to offer alternatives and the school already delayed enforcing regulations it adopted in 2009.

With T-Mobile throwing a party for the T-Mobile G-Slate on April 20th, the date is looking pretty likely for the official public launch of the Honeycomb tablet from LG. TMo stores are currently stocking up the device and its accessories in anticipation of the big day. If you recall from the time we have spent with the G-Slate (Optimus Pad), the device features 3D video capture, though it lacks an actual 3D display. Hence the red and blue anaglyph glasses packed with the slate. How retro.

Gear Review
Very very small. Ordered a XXL. I am 5'8 a size 10 and this didn't come close to fitting. The top was big enough around, but very short in length. Strip was in the middle of the bust line, not attractive; and the length stopped right below my waist.
Brett Beal
I wonder if you got a defective one. I'm 5'9", size 8, ordered a medium and it fits perfectly, even the length!

Step 1: Tools
You will need:
leather punch (recommended)
Step 2: Select a purse.
Lots of metal on the purse helps, and leather is better than vinyl (since it is going on your head the leather breathes better and is less scratchy) . The purse should be at least 12"x10" to fit your head when cut out.
Be sure to parade around the store with several purses trying them on your head ( in front of the mirror with the most people..have fun) .
If you can find one with a nice arch where your neck goes, great.
The measurements on the greyscale picture are accurate, if you enlarge it and print. (Leave 1/4 inch for sewing)
Step 3: Symmetrical Cutting and one seam to sew.
Trace the right shape with some leeway for sewing, cut out the leather and then pin or tape it together backwards to sew with the stitching on the outside. Most of the sewing will be around the crown of the skull. With optional reinforcement sewing elsewhere.
The red dots are where I did most of the sewing. My machine wont do leather so i punch starter holes all along the area to sew with a needle. (close together about the length of long stitches )
But...um...why aren't you wearing a shirt?
Aren't you a Flamer of Piggish Males? You're kind of inviting it here...
I wasn't inviting anyone to make judgments about what I wear when I'm at home, I was just making the point that it's totally normal to feel comfortable enough in your home to go without one if you choose! If you want to rock a aviator helmet and no shirt, I say go for it! :) I just didn't understand why your reaction would be O.o!

British researchers are reportedly developing a new treatment they hope will combat ageing.
They allege reducing the daily intake of food by 40% may help in enhancing a person's lifespan by 20 years.
Researchers at the Institute of Health and Ageing at the University College in London are looking at how genetics and lifestyle, adapted to offset the effects of ageing, can add years and possibly decades to a person's life.
Age-related diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer and neurodegeneration can also be combated, researchers claimed.
One line of inquiry the team is developing is how the life of a rat can be increased by up to 30% simply by reducing food intake.
"If you reduce the diet of a rat by 40% it will live up to 30% longer. So, we would be talking 20 years of human life. This has shown on all sorts of organisms, even Labradors," lead researcher, Matthew Piper told The Independent.
Scientists are also studying fruit flies which share 60% of human genes and age in a similar manner.
Researchers have already reportedly prolonged the healthy lifespan in both flies and mice by using drug treatments and a modified diet.
Researchers hope the combination of drugs and diet will also work to extend human life.
Mr Piper said if the genes involved with ageing are discovered, then ageing itself should be able to be delayed.

2. Lug Depth Left & Right. Is this as they face us in the picture or as they travel into the Front Trunnion?
They appear in the picture that the Left locking lugs are the Thicker ones.

I heard about 6 or 7 absolutely outlandish stories. Can they really be true?
Apparently this fellow got angry because he had ordered his commercial to be played every 45 minutes on AFRTS. While watching TV one day, he realized it had gone longer than 45 minutes with no commercial. He went nuclear and demanded to know why. Well, PA tracked it down and informed him it wasn't on the Euro AFRTS channel, but rather the Pacific AFRTS channel. He then instructed PA to contact PACOM and get them to air his commercial. Apparently the general at PACOM refused and he went through the roof.
Also heard he blew through execs every 90 to 120 days. 20 hour days for the execs as he wanted his computer screen configured in a certain manner each morning with the topics he would have to review that day and he wouldn't leave until 10PM at night. The execs would then have to arrange his computer for the next day prior to his arrival at 5AM.
Truth? Fiction?

paint suggestions
paint suggestions (post #175877)
I have a design issue that I need some help with. We just moved and have a huge guest bedroom with wall to wall dark green carpet. The carpet is like new and we don't want to spend the money right now to replace. Any suggestions on paint colour to take the focus off the carpet.
Please help...
(post #175877, reply #1 of 3)
I'm not an interior designer or anything, but as an artist, I would say that to make the carpet less apparent, you should paint the walls a lighter shade of the same green as the carpet.
[Origionally I said that I would probably consider some shade of red to compliment the carpet--however, that may actually make the carpet stand out more. So I thought about it and think that a lighter green would do it.]
(post #175877, reply #2 of 3)
I'm no designer either. I like Danno's suggestion of a lighter green paint, in the same color family so it doesn't clash. (Bring home green paint chips to match the darker and go up the chip for a lighter compliment. Further, when considering fabrics, if you can find something that integrates the darker and lighter green with a nice complimentary color, it could be quite nice. If done successfully, the carpet color should not take center stage. Have fun and good luck!
(post #175877, reply #3 of 3)
I am ashamed to admit that we have a dark green bedroom that we never liked but never got around to painting. Instead I have had to work with the green for the past 10 years. It turns out that there are a lot of beautiful floral patterns that encorporate green. So you can leave the rug and work with it with a pattern that you love. But I wouldn't paint the walls green as well. I'd paint them white or some palest of pale color and work with beautiful prints in curtains, bedspreads, and maybe even a border.

Libero Chelsea Crocker receives a serve in the back row during the second set. Crocker is a Mater Dei graduate who played volleyball for Fred Rakers.
Brianna Whittington serves to Lewis and Clark in the second set.
Blue Angels Extend Streak to EightThe Kaskaskia College Blue Angels celebrated "Fighting for Fred" night with a win in four sets over Lewis and Clark Community College Friday in Centralia.
Scores in the match were 25-21, 26-28, 25-12, 25-15.
Jessica Kasch led the Blue Angels with 11 kills. Kelsey Stauder had ten. Breese native and former Mater Dei Lady Knight Chelsea Crocker led the team with twenty digs. Highland graduate Alicia Halleman had thirty assists and also led KC with three aces.
Blue Angels Head Coach Kim Rahar says Kaskaskia lost some focus in the second set, and that is also happened earlier in the week. Rahar adds that the a lineup change in third set helped get KC back on track.
"That's something we struggled with on Wednesday, and then again tonight. To get the girls to come off the bench in that third set, kind of changed it up a little bit. They got the momentum. They were talking more. [It] just kind of shows everybody that anybody can step out on the court for us at any given time. Nobody has a spot out on the court."
It was "Fighting for Fred" night, and former Mater Dei volleyball coach Fred Rakers was in attendance. Rahar said the evening was a nice opportunity to honor a man who has helped the sport of volleyball in the region for countless years.
"He's given a lot to volleyball, not just at Mater Dei, but everywhere, and has influenced a lot of lives. So it was just our kind of way of telling him
'thanks.' You know, they [Mater Dei] are right down the road from us, so this is just our way of saying 'thanks.'"
The Blue Angels have now won eight straight games. They travel to the St. Louis College of Pharmacy on Monday.

Ohio Wesleyan Professor Earns National Research Award
April 10, 2007
Sarah M. Leupen, Ph.D., an assistant zoology professor at Ohio Wesleyan University, is one of six researchers nationwide and the first Ohio Wesleyan faculty member selected to receive a grant from the "Support of Mentors and their Students in the Neurosciences" (SOMAS) program.
SOMAS is designed to help junior college faculty launch research projects involving student collaborators and also provide those students with opportunities to conduct original research. The 3-year-old program is supported by the National Science Foundation and Davidson College in North Carolina. More than 50 applicants sought 2007 SOMAS grants.
Leupen will use the non-renewable $9,026 grant to expand her research into how pesticides and other chemicals in groundwater are affecting the reproductive development of male and female salamanders. Scientists already know that some of these chemicals act like the female sex hormone estrogen once they get inside the body. Exposure to these chemicals has even caused some male frogs to become female.
But how are other amphibians affected? And what do their experiences tell us about the potential dangers of groundwater pollution to other species?
"We don't know how dangerous some of these chemicals are," says Leupen, who will focus much of her summer research on the pesticide atrazine. "But if problems are going to exist, we will see them first in aquatic species. They are the 'canary in the coal mine' when it comes to water contamination."
Leupen is especially concerned about atrazine because it is the most common pesticide used throughout the world and the most common chemical found in groundwater. "We probably will never have a world without pesticides," she acknowledges, "so we need to understand them. Once we understand how they act in the body, we can try to make them safer."
For her 10-week SOMAS-funded project, Leupen will work with Ohio Wesleyan student Sara Nienaber, a junior, from Cincinnati. After the summer, they will prepare a presentation to give in November at the combined annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience and the Faculty for Undergraduate Neuroscience. A second student also will be chosen to participate in Leupen's research through Ohio Wesleyan's annual Summer Science Research Program, which is funded by the university.

I can't say enough about taking turmeric for inflammation. I was having a LOT of pain due to degenerative arthritis, and turned to turmeric rather than NSAIDs. It wasn't a quick fix but after a couple of months, it really kicked in. I was really getting pretty debilitated from severe lower back pain and shooting nerve pain down my legs. As a professional pet sitter and dog walker, it was wreaking havoc in my life. I still have pain when I turn over in bed at night, or when I move heavy items, but overall I'm good!
I chose Organic India because of its high quality and because it's organic. You can find cheaper turmeric but this is important enough to me to spend more. Plus ordering from iHerb lowers the cost considerably.

Earth Retention
Deep excavations for new structures require earth retention systems, particularly
in urban areas.
Layne has developed advanced ground retention systems over the years to suit a variety of site and ground conditions. Permanent earth retention structures are designed and constructed to provide long-term support and enduring performance. Layne has extensive experience and advanced capabilities to offer the latest technologies and to provide the best and most cost effective solutions for all types of deep excavation retention systems.

Slurry / Diaphragm Walls
The term "Slurry Wall" is used to refer to the construction of a wall beneath the ground surface using a slurry fluid to stabilize the sidewalls of the trench from collapsing during the excavation before being filled with concrete.
Diaphragm Walls refers more specifically to a slurry wall built for some type of structural support. Since most Diaphragm Walls are usually thick (>2.5ft) and built of reinforced concrete, they are very rigid walls offering significant resistance to bending from lateral loads as well as being very water resistant. Diaphragm Walls are ideal for lateral earth support for deep excavations and are often incorporated as the permanent building basement walls. This creates additional savings for the project by eliminating the need for temporary earth support and extensive dewatering.
Secant Walls
Secant walls are created by drilling a series of vertical bored piles that overlap each other creating a continuous wall. The so called primary piles are installed along an alignment and spaced far enough apart so that when the secondary piles are drilled they overcut 20% to 30% into the sides of the existing primary piles. Secant Walls can use a variety of drilled pile sizes depending on the depth of the wall. Typical sizes are 18" to 60" diameters although larger diameter piles have been used on some deeper walls or heavily loaded cantilever type walls. Secant walls can be effective earth retaining walls to depths up to 60ft or more depending on pile diameter and loading configuration. Secant walls can also be relatively water resistant.
Retaining Walls
Retaining walls are used to retain earth when there is a differing grade elevation on either side of the wall. Retaining walls must have the structural capacity to hold back the lateral earth pressures and maintain long term stability from bending, sliding and overturning. Retaining walls can be temporary structures or permanent. There are many different types of retaining wall systems available out on the markets. Retaining walls are constructed from a variety of materials. Rigid structural walls that are free standing rely on gravity and are usually made of concrete or rocks for the weight. Reinforced concrete is the most common type of rigid structural wall. Horizontal anchors may also be used to provide additional lateral support. Steel sheetpiling is also placed in the ground for retaining walls.
Another type of retaining wall system that has been around for a number of years relies on Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) to self-support the lateral earth pressures that exist. These types of walls use some type of facing panels to provide an attractive protective cover for the wall (usually made of precast concrete) and are very commonly used in highways and bridge construction.
Earth Support Systems
Any type of deep excavation requires that the earth be laid back on a slope for safety and stability. If there is no room for laying back then some type of earth support system will be required. There are different types of earth support systems that are used but the most common utilizes steel beams and wood lagging also known as "sheeting." The function of sheeting is to laterally support the earth in place around an excavation for a period of time while a new structure is being constructed below existing grade. Depending on the depth of excavation multiple levels of anchors or bracing may be required. Sheeting systems are usually for temporary support so they are not designed and built to last more than several months. After the structure has been completed up to existing grade, backfill may be placed between the structure and the temporary sheeting system is buried in place. Some municipalities require that some of the sheeting elements such as anchors and tops of steel beams be removed.
In order to allow for deeper excavations in congested areas, an increased need for economical earth support systems have been developed and installed by Layne. Soldier beams with wood lagging using tiebacks or bracing, soil nailing, and cast-in-place bored piles are typical retaining wall techniques that are offered. The company's activity in these fields extends to the installation of diaphragm wall systems supported by the use of bracing and/or tiebacks, drilling and grouting, and jet grouting for underpinning.
Tunnel Access Shafts
Modern Tunnel construction projects often use Tunnel Boring Machines (TBM) to excavate the tunnel. These large machines either drill directly into a vertical face such as the side of a mountain or portal. If the tunnel starts below the ground surface however, the TBM needs to be lowered into the ground through a vertical access shaft. This vertical shaft is usually round for stability and needs to be of a diameter large enough to allow for the TBM to be lowered down to the design tunnel elevation. At the other end where the tunnel ends, a similar shaft needs to be constructed to allow for the TBM to be extracted and raised back up to the ground surface for reuse on another tunnel project. These shafts can vary in depth and diameter depending on the project. For shallow shafts less than 60ft steel beams with wood lagging or secant shaft walls are an effective means to provide earth support.
For deep tunnel access shafts where the bedrock is also far below the ground surface and groundwater inflow is significant, the use of slurry diaphragm walls is the most cost effective means of earth support. The superior strength, rigidity, vertical accuracy and water resistant performance of diaphragm walls cannot be replaced by other foundation systems. The equipment used to excavate diaphragm walls such as hydromills, have the capability to excavate deep panels through nearly any material and maintain very accurate verticality (<.3%) which is essential for proper closure at depths of hundreds of feet.
Bencor (a Layne company) has been a world leader installing diaphragm walls since 1969 and has the largest and most modern fleet of state of the art hydromills in North America, capable of excavating down to depths of 490ft (150meters) complete with all of the supporting service equipment and experienced personnel.
Ground/Rock Anchors
Anchors are designed to counteract lateral forces and overturning on dams and other critical structures; they also provide lateral excavation support. Anchors consist of post-tensioned grouted steel bars or multi-strand steel wires.
Applications include:
- Earth Retention Systems
- Post Tensioning Dams
- Seismic Stabilization
Anchors provide a cost effective bracing system for all soil conditions. Additional advantages include:
- Final strength of the stabilized soil can be predetermined.
- Attainable large loads.
- Installation in limited access areas and complex drilling conditions.
Ground anchors are also frequently utilized for lateral support of slurry diaphragm. Since the ground anchors provide intermediate points of support at one or more levels, they reduce bending moments and consequently reduce the need for thicker walls, reinforcement, and depth-of-toe requirements. Anchors eliminate the need for internal steel bracing and strutting within the excavation and leave it free of obstructions which reduce excavation costs and speeds up construction. This aspect can be particularly valuable in congested urban locations with limited surrounding space for equipment and materials. Anchors are may be used in soils or in rock and may be either permanent or temporary.
Soil Nailing
Soil Nailing is a type of earth support system which consists of driving, screwing or drilling and grouting a series of steel bars or nails behind the excavation surface and then covering the face with shotcrete which may or may not be reinforced.
The placement of near horizontal steel bars or nails behind an excavation in a fairly close pattern increases the shear resistance of the soil against rotational sliding as well as resistance against lateral stresses within the soil mass. Soil nails are normally located in a square or rectangular grid pattern and are placed horizontally or inclined 20 degrees or less from horizontal. After a row of nails are installed the excavation surface is covered with layers of shotcrete, which is generally reinforced with a steel wire mesh and may depend on site conditions. After the shotcrete has gained sufficient strength, steel bearing plates connect the nails to the finished face. When a row of nails is completed, the installation operation progresses down to the next row, repeating the procedures until the excavation is complete. Soil nail walls are usually designed for temporary earth support but can also be designed to be permanent under the right conditions.
Soil Mixing
Soil Mixing refers to a technique where a mechanical device consisting of drills, augers, paddles or mixing wheels break up the soil matrix while a cement grout is injected in. The resulting soil will have improved engineering properties such as higher strength, homogeneity and impermeability. Soil Mixing is used for ground stabilization and improvement, cutoff walls, earth support systems and seismic retrofitting.
miniJET® Technology
This technology was developed and is patented by Tecniwell (a Layne Company) based out of Italy. It incorporates the use of jet grouting through hollow, high strength drill rods that are left in place in the ground and become the structural element. They are available in different sizes to handle load requirements. It has developed into several versatile applications, including a new type of micropile system, and also a robotic Under Water Anchor system that provides a cost-effective rehabilitation option for existing marine wharf structures.
Top Down Construction
This term refers to a type of construction which involves, as the name implies, going down with the building basement excavation while at the same time starting the erection of the building superstructure. This technique has been successfully used on projects that have a relatively deep basements as well as high rise construction. This process can save significant time on the overall construction schedule, cost and deliver the finished building to the owner sooner.
Diaphragm Walls are used to install the perimeter walls which can also be designed to provide load bearing support for exterior columns of the building. The interior column loads are supported by either drilled shafts or barrette piles using the same slurry wall techniques. Since these column supporting elements must be installed at the same time as the perimeter diaphragm walls so that superstructure erection can begin it is often advantageous to use barrette piles rather than have a separate drilled shaft contractor trying to occupy the same tight construction site. It is much more effective for all parties involved to have one contractor install both the diaphragm walls as well as the barrette piles for the columns.
After the diaphragm walls and the barrette piles are completed the excavation of the basement can begin as well as the erection of the superstructure. Building structures made of structural steel as well as reinforced concrete have both been successfully built around the world using top down techniques.
Underwater Anchors
Underwater Anchor System (U.W.A.) is an innovative and unique solution to wharf deepening using the miniJET® technology developed by Tecniwell, a Layne company. Conventional techniques typically require installing new seawalls in front of existing ones in order to deepen the wharfs.This results in very costly and time consuming work with significant impact to shipping operations. The U.W.A. eliminates the need for a new seawall by installing additional horizontal anchors at the proper level to allow safe dredging to the new depth required. Jet grouting can also support and safely deepen the existing seawall if required.
After the Under Water Anchors are installed and the jet grouting has cured to gain sufficient strength, a galvanized anchor head assembly is lowered into place through the anchor rod. A diving crew using a crane and calibrated hydraulic ram set will post tension each anchor to the required loading.

After the Under Water Anchors are installed and the jet grouting has cured to gain sufficient strength, a galvanized anchor head assembly is lowered into place through the anchor rod. A diving crew using a crane and calibrated hydraulic ram set will post tension each anchor to the required loading.
Composite Foundation Systems
This refers to a method of construction that incorporates the most effective use of different foundation techniques to produce a more cost effective design. For example:
- The use of slurry diaphragm walls to form the permanent basement walls eliminates the need for traditional sheeting, shoring, and underpinning.
- Barrette piles, installed using the same diaphragm wall equipment, provide for structural column support and eliminate the need to bring on a different contractor to install piling.
- A jet grouted base seal installed in advance from the ground surface eliminates the need for massive dewatering if next to a large body of water in permeable soils.
All of these systems when combined can produce significant savings to the overall project construction.
Advanced Jet Grouting Technologies
Jet grouting is a specialized process that produces in-situ mixing of soil and cement grout. After drilling to the required depth, the jet grout drill rods are rotated and raised to the ground surface at controlled rates, while injecting cement grout at a high pressure, forming a soil-cement column. When placed in engineered configurations, the columns can be constructed to provide effective treatment of large masses of soils.
Advantages to the jet grouting method include: higher compressive soil strengths in comparison with other soil improvement methods; more uniform soil treatment; capability to improve isolated soil areas; and definitive quantity and scheduling.
Key principals of Geo have been engaged in jet grouting production and technology since its origins in Italy. Many jet grouting techniques and specialized equipment improvements that have become industry standards were conceived and advanced by these individuals – several during their associations with predecessor companies of Layne Christensen.
Ground Freezing
Ground freezing is a process involving the circulation of a refrigerated coolant through a series of subsurface pipes to convert soil water to ice, creating a strong watertight material. It is the primary method of groundwater control and soil support for deep shaft construction. The frozen barrier is created by drilling and installing freeze pipes around the perimeter of the project. Pipes are then connected to an enclosed coolant system that delivers refrigerated brine to each individual pipe.
Applications include:
- Groundwater Control
- Excavation Support
Advantages of this ground improvement system are many:
- Environmentally compatible
- Proven Technology (has been in existence for over 100 years)
- Significantly less impact on surrounding water table than conventional dewatering techniques
Real Time Monitoring
Layne Geo remains an industry leader in the development of computerized systems for real-time monitoring of critical drilling and grouting parameters. Long-range wireless communication with remote field equipment can provide engineers with ground improvement telemetry from multiple production rigs and locations.
Drilling and grouting data are collected through a network of sensors and are recorded by dedicated on-board computers. Engineers can monitor real-time telemetry simultaneously through a long-range wireless link.
Applications include:
- Jet grouting with single- or multi-axis drill rigs and connected high-pressure injection pumps
- High-mobility grouting and associated water testing
- Low-mobility grouting and ancillary ground response
Advantages include:
- Provides real-time, continuous quality control to verify compliance with design parameters
- Allows real-time analysis of water test data
- Allows monitoring of pressure-displacement and ground response during compaction grouting
Environmental Cutoff Walls
These types of walls are not used for typical earth
retention but rather to retain contaminated soils from moving
or flowing past the wall. Layne offers several construction techniques to address the containment of subsurface contaminants. Depending on jobsite requirements, our environmental cutoff wall remediation methods can be applied for the following:
- Soil Encapsulation
- Soil Treatment
- In-Situ Stabilization
- Cut Off Walls
Using single or multi-axis jet grout drilling equipment, Layne can encapsulate radioactive waste in-situ with a special hot wax injected at high pressure or other liquid stabilizing agents. Using our bioJET® technology, we have also completed in-situ treatment of organic waste by injecting Synergistic Biochemical System at high pressure into the contaminated area below the ground.
Resonant Sonic Drilling
Resonant sonic drilling is a useful and versatile drilling technique that has applications within the geotechnical construction industry. The sampler barrel is vibrated vertically at high frequencies between 50 and 180 Hz as it is rotated so that the sampler barrel advances by slicing through the soil, even very hard formations allowing the extraction of undisturbed samples.
Specialized Foundation Equipment Design and Manufacturing
Tecniwell S.r.L. of Podenzano, Italy, was established in 1987 with the goal of designing, developing, and fabricating state of the art ground improvement equipment, specifically machines used for advanced jet grouting.
Tecniwell (a Layne company since 1996) gives Layne the unique capacity to design, customize, manufacture and test grouting and drilling equipment under a multitude of varying field conditions.
Tecniwell's factory manufactures equipment used for jet grouting, grouting, miniJET® applications, vibroflotation (vibratory ground improvement and stone columns), and the drilling and oil field industries. In addition Tecniwell produces a complete range of hydraulic crawler multipurpose drill rigs for piling (large and small diameter), anchoring, jet grouting, CFA, reverse circulation drilling, and hydromining.
All products are manufactured according to the UNI EN ISO 9001/2008 standards and the fabrication process complies to the most rigid environmental rules. For product orders,catalogues, and descriptions please visit www.tecniwell.com

Ma Yan Update
Man, I love it when authors google themselves. (At least, that's the only reason I can figure why they're finding my blog.)
Sometimes it leads to awesome things, like Kirsten Miller hooking me up with my awesome Kiki Strike t-shirt.
And sometimes it leads to really awesome things. Yesterday, I reviewed The Diary of Ma Yan: The Struggles and Hopes of a Chinese Schoolgirl, which is edited by Pierre Haski.
Now, I'm sure you don't read my comments as obsessively as I do, but Haski commented on yesterday's post to update me on Ma Yan's situation. She has finished school in China and is about to arrive in France, to study there-- a very happy ending to her story.
Also, when talking to someone yesterday, I realized that I want to say more about Ma Yan and China in general.
As many of you know, I was in Beijing earlier this fall, and spent a semester studying n Nanjing. I commented on Ma Yan struggling with spending 50 fen (about 6 cents USD). I once had a beggar in Nanjing through 20 fen back in my face--in the cities it's useless. When briefing Dan on Chinese currency this fall, I had forgotten that fen existed, until it became an issue at the grocery store.
One term at elementary school in Ningxia costs $12. I spend more than that on coffee every week. That's about how much Dan and I spent on a super-tasty meal of Peking Duck at one of Beijing's most famous duck places. I spent that much getting up Taishan. I got bilked for more than that in the Great Wall adventure that will one day be funny, but isn't yet.
But, in the interior of the country, the new economy hasn't hit yet, and it never will if children cannot go to school.
The Diary of Ma Yan created such a stir, there is an organization to help the children of Ningxia. You can help. Click here to find out how.

Rihanna Accused of Ripping Off Dave LaChapelle In S&M Video
Rihanna has found herself in even more controversy surrounding the S&M video, this time for ripping off famed photographer Dave LaChapelle. According to side by side stills that can be found on Perez Hilton's site (who's ironically in Rihanna's video), the music video was heavily influenced by the work of LaChapelle that can be found in Italian Vogue from 1995-2002. The only problem is, LaChapelle had nothing to do with the video nor did he direct it. Rihanna's video director also failed to mention LaChapelle while explaining each scene of the video to MTV. As for a response from LaChapelle:
