"I was just sitting in my living room and heard this big bang," Clark said. "By the time I heard he was right here in front of me."
The Campbellsburg Station Community Center may be six weeks from completion.
The playground, however, is still months away from becoming a reality.
Monday night, city council members got a tour of the building that will serve as the community center, and an update from Craig Bratton.
Bratton said some line items, like excavation and painting, would exceed budget, while some items like plumbing were under budget.

How can I recommission it?10. My door only closes approx. 10 cm and then comes to a standstill. What is the cause of this fault?11. Is the maintenance of sliding doors mandatory and if so, how often? (all operators)12. Can I dispense with the emergency-stop pushbutton?13. Where do I route the connection leads?14. Who can help me in the event of glass breakage?15. Can emergency exit sliding doors be locked at night?
The connection possibilities vary depending on the operator type used. a) ES90: A floating NO contact can be found on expansion module EM3/terminals 25 and 26. b) ES90-FST2D: A floating NO contact can be found on expansion module EM5/terminals 16 and 17. c) CS / CS-FST2D: A floating NO contact can be found directly on the control unit/terminals 19 and 20. d) ES and CS EC2: There is no bell contact provided on the control unit. This function can, however, be implemented via an additional special photoelectric cell/light barrier. Please talk to our sales advisors or our Application Engineering department.
There are various possibilities: a) If the door remains open without any fault signal, it may be that the photoelectric cells/light barriers are being interrupted by water droplets => Clean and dry the light barrier lenses with a soft cloth. It may also be that the external radar motion detector is being activated by the falling raindrops (detected as a moving object) => Have the motion detector adjusted by our service department. b) If the door is opened and a fault signal is being emitted => The number of causes is numerous, so please inform our service department.
The red LED shows the presence of a fault. The fault can often be eliminated by switching the system on and off several times at the program switch (see the relevant operating instructions for the door in question). If the fault signal is then immediately repeated, consult the troubleshooting section of the operating instructions in order to rectify the problem. If you are unsuccessful, please inform our service department.
Within Germany, you can reach our service hotline under the call number 0800 5 24 02 46. Otherwise, please contact your local dealer or DORMA subsidiary.
Please talk to your sales advisor. With the help of our Application Engineering department, he will be glad to assist you in your planning work.
The panel height and opening width are mainly restricted by the maximum permissible panel weights. These in turn depend on the operator being used. In addition, however, it will be necessary to remain within certain height/width ratios that have been specified in order to ensure the smooth and low-wear running behaviour of the door system. You will find guide values in the relevant technical brochures. For additional information, please consult our sales advisors who will be glad to assist.
The adjustment possibilities depend on the operator used. EC2 operators can be adjusted without any external devices or aids directly at the control unit. ES 90 and CS standard and emergency exit operators (FST) can only be adjusted using a special programming unit, the DORMA Hand Terminal, used by DORMA service technicians.
A prerequisite for an airlock control system is the use of suitable operator types (standard operators only, no EC2 or emergency exit systems). The electric circuitry can be found in the relevant circuit diagram for the system. The requisite programming is performed using the DORMA Hand Terminal. Airlock controls in emergency exit doors (FST) can only be implemented provided they have been individually approved! A corresponding special control system is also necessary in such cases.
Generally, no special measures are required. In the case of all emergency exit doors (FST systems), and also in the case of certain standard systems, rechargeable batteries are provided in the operator for power back-up. These may gradually discharge over a lengthy period and thus lead to malfunctions. In the case of emergency exit doors, faults can be avoided by providing manual support for the door movement during the first opening cycle. If a fault signal should nevertheless be emitted, please inform our service department.
This door behaviour indicates a failed battery test (back-up batteries discharged or defective). Following switch-on and opening of the door, the door initially closes approx. 10 cm and then attempts to re-open under battery power. If you manually push at this moment, the door will resume operation and recharge the battery. If the fault should recur (immediately or after just a few hours), you can assume that the battery is defective and it will then have to be replaced by the service department.
A clear distinction has to be made here between "Maintenance" and "Inspection". Inspections are specified in the standards and are mandatory - they either have to be carried out once a year or, in the case of emergency exit sliding doors, twice a year. Maintenance/servicing operations are generally not compulsory by law but are rather governed by the recommendations of the manufacturer. In its operating instructions, DORMA recommends that doors be serviced twice a year.
As our current range of DORMA sliding doors are compliant with the provisional European standards prEN 12650-1 and 2, it is possible to dispense with the installation of an emergency command device (emergency stop pushbutton).
The connection leads are generally fed in from the side. The connection side depends on the operator type and is illustrated in the relevant technical brochure or cable diagram.
Generally, a local glazier can carry out the repair. In the case of emergency exit doors in particular, however, it is advisable to inform the DORMA service department so that any further damage can be identified and correct adjustment of the panels (safety clearances!) can be carried out.
Irrespective of the time of day or night, emergency exit sliding doors may only be locked if there is no one left in the building! Alternative arrangements may only be implemented subject to the specific approval of the relevant building control authorities, and this will only be given on a case by case basis. |

No thanksgiving here either, which is kinda logical due to my location; no, not the one listed on the left, I meant Europe. ;D At least I believe so, never heard of it being widely celebrated on this continent. Never really cared to research this stuff either.

What's unfortunate is how he doesn't know it's a American (as in Canada + USA) holiday. If I'm not mistaken something-something to do with the settlers conquering the land and prosperous year or what-not.
From Europe here as well.

As someone who grew up just a few miles away from Plymouth Rock, I'll be happy to provide a brief overview of Thanksgiving to our friends outside the United States. Thanksgiving commemorates a harvest feast shared by the "Pilgrims" and native Americans living along the shores of Massachusetts near Cape Cod. The Pilgrims were a group of religious nonconformists who fled England around the turn of the seventeenth century. After a brief stay in the Netherlands, they commissioned ships to sail across the Atlantic so they might establish a colony in the "New World." The Pilgrims landed in December of 1620, and most of the settlers who hadn't died in the voyage passed away in the initial, brutally cold winter of 1620-21. Only 53 of the initial 102 emigrants, and just four of the initial eighteen females, survived to take part in the feast. Few of these would have survived without the support of the native Americans who lived in close proximity to the colonists.
The story of the Pilgrims has one remarkable coincidence, the presence of the native American Squanto who was enslaved by John Smith (of the Pocahontas tale) and later lived in England. Considering the enormous size of the United States, the fact that the Pilgrims encountered a native who spoke English and could translate between the two groups has to be an historical coincidence of major proportions. Legend has it that the Pilgrims first stepped foot onto Plymouth Rock when arriving in America. In fact this story is based entirely on the report of one Elder John Faunce who, at 94, was carried to the water's edge so he might point out the place where his father had told him the first step took place. Since the Pilgrims had already spent some time in Provincetown at the tip of Cape Cod before sailing into Plymouth harbor, the story is false on its face. There are also no contemporary accounts in the existing journals of the colonists to support the story. The current Rock is but a mere shadow of the original, having been split in two at one point and chipped away by souvenir hunters before it was placed in a protected location around 1880. It now resides at the bottom of a Roman-styled portico in Plymouth Harbor which was constructed in 1920 to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the Pilgrims' arrival. It's symbolic value is perhaps best summed up by a local historian and member of the Pilgrim Society, Rose T. Briggs, who wrote in 1968, ""It is the fact that they landed - and remained - that matters, not where they landed. Yet it is no bad thing for a nation to be founded on a rock." I researched the Rock for a high-school history project, which is why I know its story so well.

For me the bell tolls
since thanksgiving is being discussed, maybe someone could tell me if this is true..I heard that native Americans view thanksgiving as a day for mourning, since it was basically the beginning of the end for them. I wouldn't be surprised if it were so, but is it true?
ok, the question I really came into this thread to ask, was what is the current state of Yugioh? I stopped watching/playing long ago...but I hear that Yugioh is still strong in the form of yugioh 5D. so, how is this show? Is there any shred of the original plot or characters, or is the name "yugioh" not at all relevant anymore to the show? how about the card game? Is it still semi popular? Are the cards decent? thanks

I asked around and learned that the registration and testing fees for the USMLE for 2011 and 2012 would likely be approx. $3000 for foreigners, not counting the amount habing to spend going Stateside to take parts of it. $3000 is the gross salary of a first year medical resident for one whole year without taxes. In other countries, this is very high amount for someone who really just wants to train and earn while doing it before coming back home to practice.
So yes, ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? (Yes that was a legitimate question) I've dropped Singapore from my list because they don't offer training unless you become a citizen, and even then you still have a conditional practicing status. My research into taking Canada's MCC exam is looking well, but I haven't come across enough details for foreigners looking to apply at an embassy, where to get the study manuals and guides (there are however a ton for the USMLE in every bookstore) and how much the registration costs. Can anyone give suggestions?

As for going about finding out about it, I would suggest that you ask a few Aussies here with regards to their locale and get them to email the authorities for you, like Haruka_Kitten and fallschirmjager. WRT Singapore, I am sure that it is PR and not citizen. I'll drop an email tomorrow morning before I go to school, should be able to get a reply by Friday. PM TRL or hope that he will see your question. I am sure in his field of journalism he should be able to get or regurgitate specific information more easily than me.

It's native to North America. Even today, where I live (a town established in the 1600's, not too far from where the pilgrims first landed) you see wild turkeys crossing the road sometimes. They were probably even more abundant back then, and easy to catch. They're also quite large for a bird and would provide a good meal.

Question about Japan politics (i avoid the word "political culture" because mod may shift my post into culture thread D: )
I mean probably (actually definitely) some of us would consider that politics are quite dirty business with politicians are lying bastards that can't wait to vote on which sheep gonna be for dinner. But what's about Japan's general public opinion on politics? They had a party that ruling over century (probably not that long) before the recent political development.... and stereotypically speaking , probably have that "maintaining-harmony society" status like most East Asia country. And beat me if i'm wrong, but there seems little news about Japanese mass demonstration about social or political issues (opposing to Europe and US or even Korea) since GFC 2008. So in Japan, are there much opposing forces to the government in general? (other than the shadow government/ oppose party)

PDT Sports Report
Fresh off the first playoff win in school history, No. 5 Piketon (9-2) looks to advance to its first-ever regional championship when the Redstreaks travel Friday to Logan and face No. 1 St. Clairsville (11-0) in a Division IV, Region 15 semifinal.
Piketon, which went 15 years between its first and second playoff appearances, defeated No. 4 Minford (8-3) 49-27 in last week's quarterfinal. The Redstreaks exacted revenge on the Falcons, who won a 19-14 contest Week 3 at Piketon.
The Red Devils knocked off No. 8 Cadiz Harrison Central (7-4) 41-6 in another quarterfinal. St. Clairsville will lean on junior middle linebacker and Michigan commit Michael Ferns.
Offensively, Jaylon Brown leads the team in rushing with 1,379 yards and 27 touchdowns. He will line up behind quarterback Matt Kinnick, who is 96-for-152 passing for 2,071 yards, 28 touchdowns and two interceptions. His favorite target, Dan Monteroso, has 45 catches for 960 yards and 14 touchdowns.
"You don't know what is coming, so you have to know where they (Monteroso and Brown) are at all times," Piketon coach Tyler Gullion said in an interview this week with the Pike County News Watchman. "We also have to limit the big plays, they get yards in chunks. A lot of their scoring drives are five plays or less."
The winner of this contest will get the winner of the No. 3 Johnstown-Monroe-No. 2 Ironton contest. In the win over Minford, quarterback Isaac Brabson was 18-of-28 passing for 263 yards and three touchdowns.
No. 3 Johnstown-Monroe (9-2) vs. No. 2 Ironton (7-3) at Athens High School
Fresh off a record-setting night in which he gained 310 of his team's 414 yards on the ground, 249 coming in the second half of last Friday's 41-16 win over No. 7 Bloom-Carroll (5-6), Patrick Lewis and the Ironton Fighting Tigers will try to atone for last year's 34-7 loss to Johnstown-Monroe when the two teams meet Friday at Athens High School in a Division IV, Region 15 Semifinal.
The loss not only ended Ironton's season, but it also sent legendary coach Bob Lutz into retirement for a second time. First-year coach Mark Vass, who was an assistant last year, understands the Johnnies and what they may bring.
"They have five or six guys back on both sides of the ball to give them a solid base, and they new starters are all pretty good," Vass said in an interview with the Ironton Tribune. "It'll be a tough game for us."
Returning for Johnstown-Monroe will be quarterback Tyler Thompson, who moves under center after playing wide receiver in last year. Cody Farley will try to fill the shoes of Ross Franklin at running back. Franklin, who is the state's single-season leading rusher with 2,407 yards in 2011, is playing for the University of Findlay.
The Johnnies defeated No.6 Gnadenhutten Indian Valley (6-5) 24-21 in last week's quarterfinal match-up. The winner of this contest will take on the winner of No. 5 Piketon-No. 1 St. Clairsville in next weekend's regional championship.
Division V, Region 19 Semifinals at Nelsonville-York High School
No. 6 Baltimore Liberty Union (9-2) vs. No. 2 Oak Hill (9-2)
In a match-up that might have been a week too late, Oak Hill and Liberty Union will battle in Saturday's Region 19 Semifinal.
When the sun rose Oct. 27, the two teams were projected to play in the regional quarterfinals. But with the East-Notre Dame game to take place later that night, the Oaks were in line, and ultimately received, enough secondary points from the Titans to take the No. 2 seed away from Wheelersburg (8-3).
The Pirates instead hosted the Lions last Saturday and were eliminated 24-13 at Ed Miller Stadium. Oak Hill needed a last-minute defensive stand to defeat No. 7 Jeromesville Hillsdale (7-4) 26-21 at Davis Stadium last week.
Quarterback Drew Haislop is nine yards shy of 1,100 for the season after last week's win over the Falcons. He had four touchdown passes in the contest.
In his weekly interview with the Jackson County Times-Journal, Oaks coach Nathan Dugan said Liberty Union is a different team from the start of the season to now.
"They made a big change in their offense about midseason and that seemed to spark them," Dugan said. "They started out as an 'I' (formation) team, then they switched over and ran a lot of 'wildcat' after that. When they run the 'wildcat', that's when they've had a lot of success offensively."
Jacob Basso is the Lions' leading rusher with 1,340 yards on the ground and 13 touchdowns. The winner of this contest gets the winner of the No. 4 Bucyrus Wynford-No. 1 Valley game in next weekend's Region 19 Championship.

I posted v1 of my FAK a year ago, everybody yelled at me that it was too big and I said nuh-uh, then I tried to pack the damn thing around for a day in my BOB and reluctantly agreed. I tore it down and made v2 which I was scared to post for about 6 months. I finally posted v2 a few weeks ago and Apache pointed out I didn't have enough dressing or anyway to care for a major wound for 3-5 days. I of course disagreed as a knee-jerk reaction again, then after sitting down and taking a long look at the situation and again reluctantly agreed. Time for another remake.
Here is v3, hopefully I got it right this time, I'm pretty happy with it. Let me know what you would add or remove or alter. I'll try and take criticism well, but if I don't, I'll own up to it if I ever come to agree with you
The purpose of this kit is to support me on a 3-5 day bugout, and temporarily patch up any serious trauma. (I know if my lung is punctured I'm probably not going to survive very long without professional medical attention, but that doesn't mean I don't want to try.)
The large nylon pouch that is spread open is the main FAK that goes on the outside of my gear it is the condor rip-away EMT pouch. It is a very spacious pouch with a carry handle and a MOLLE base that it is secured to by velcro and a fastex buckle. It has 3 PALS webbing strips and a 5"x1.5" velcro loop patch pouch on the front of it if you want to attach something to the outside. I know a lot of people hate condor but there have been a few pieces of their gear that I am very happy with and this is one of them. The two vacuum packed items are supplements inside my main pack.

FIFA 14 reveal happening this week – rumour
A report out of Spain claims EA Sports will show FIFA 14 to the press this week at an event in Madrid, with an embargo on details lifting on April 17. Assuming FIFA 14 releases sometime around September, as previous entires have, the timing seems plausible, so expect new details soon. All we've heard about the new entry to date is that it is "huge", and will emphasise social features alongside traditional single-player modes; we're not even sure if it'll be current or next-gen.
Thanks, Lengendaryboss.

The thing I notice with consoles is that they make early games low tech and then improve the graphical fidelity and game engines gradually so that we think developers are improving their useage of the system. If consoles are created from PC tech with dumbdown specs, then the developers can max out the games they make from the very beginning. Makes you think huh?
Well, yeah that's why most serious gamers hate consoles. PC really is the best when it comes to gaming, but unfortunetly PC gaming is much harder, and more complicated, so not everyone can do it. So we get dumbed down consoles, and rip-off games. That's the price we pay for the ease of use consoles that we enjoy.
I game on consoles btw, so I'm not some PC fanboy, I just know that PC gaming is better, and that with the ease of use consoles we get ripped off and dumbed down games.
@inebriantia @madgame23 The reason why PC is not as big as consoles is not the will or that it is hard. Its because of piracy, plain and simple.

I'm going to be computer-less for a while due to living situation. I'd like to still get online for email and buying stuff, plus it would be nice to be able to read books.
Some people tell me get an iPad, others say no get a smart phone and a Kindle. Others tell me just get a laptop anyway and some kind of wifi service.
So if I get a Kindle or iPad, do I have to have separate wifi service that I pay for (assuming I use these at home, and don't drive out to some public wifi place?) Is Kindle different from iPad in that sense, like, if I buy a Kindle, can I access Amazon, find a book I want, buy it, and have it downloaded without having to pay for a separate wifi service? What about iPad?
How are they different? You see I am a Kompleat Novice here. I do computers reasonably well but this newfangled stuff boggles me still. What you get and what it costs you, plus, very important, how easy it is to use, are all important.

I've done a lot in my life and still have a lot more to do. Follow me as I accomplish my dreams. Most people say "You Only Live Once" or Y.O.L.O. Well I'm trying to live twice.

Because of what it calls a financial perfect storm, the city of Sarasota is considering a number of steps to create a balanced budget, including more layoffs, a wage freeze, a two-week furlough, a pension reduction and more.
"We intend to give you a balanced budget in July," City Manager Bob Bartolotta told the City Commission during an April 23 budget meeting. "But the biggest concern I hear (from our staff) is matching budget cuts with community expectations. We have to start saying 'no' to new services."
The city is expecting property tax revenue for the 2009-2010 fiscal year to come in 20% — or $4 million — below estimates. Its other sources of revenue, such as the gas tax and half-cent sales tax are expected to be $2.6 million short of expectations.
"That's trouble," said Chris Lyons, the city's finance director, who said he couldn't remember a budget crisis such as this during his 20-plus years with the city.
To deal with unprecedented budget problems, the city is considering unprecedented measures. Bartolotta and Lyons told commissioners they were going to have to consider asking employees to forgo raises next year and go unpaid during a two-week furlough period, which equates to cutting their pay by about 4%.
Lyons said he doesn't believe the city has ever taken either of those steps. It would cost the city $1.8 million to give each employee a raise next year.
And, although it eliminated 127 jobs in the past two years through attrition and layoffs, the city will consider laying off more employees and cutting vacant positions.
"We've never seen a budget year that started with a deficit," Bartolotta said.
Other perks that could be cut are pensions and post-retirement health-and-life insurance.
Before 1993, the city promised employees free medical coverage and discounted coverage for their dependents even after employees retired. That policy changed in 1993, but employees hired before then are still entitled to that retirement benefit. The city will be taking a large hit for the next 15 years if a change is not made.
The city's health-coverage expenses were a little more than $6 million last year. Because of the pre-1993 retirement benefit, that cost will rise to about $15 million before it levels off in 2023.
Pension costs are estimated at $9.1 million next year if nothing changes.
Lyons said city commissioners would have to consider reducing those benefits to help balance the budget.
Another perk the commission will need to analyze, said Bartolotta, are bonus days. City employees are entitled to five days off per year, called bonus days, if they don't use any sick days. They are allowed to accrue those bonus days during their entire careers at the city.
Employees can also earn up to six days off per year by participating in the Run/Walk/Swim Program, which gives workers those days off if they hit certain exercising milestones.
"We're going to have to look at all time-off programs," Lyons said.
The city will also look at new sources of revenue. One possibility Bartolotta mentioned was charging non-residents for car-accident investigation.
"We could bill them, and it's covered by their insurance," he said.
Sarasota residents would not be charged, because their taxes already pay for it, said Bartolotta.

Short musical performance on the front straight before the race
Introduction of Drivers
Driving the drivers around the track in pickup trucks
Sky Divers
The playing of "Proud to be an American"
The singing of "America the Beautiful"
National Anthem
Jet flyover
"The number of threads by one poster in the OT is getting a little out of hand, IMHO. "
"In the land of freedom we are held hostage by the tyranny of political correctness...If we speak..we say it the wrong way; if we do not speak we are cowards ."
If you're refering to at the track, usually some suds and food, some eye candy and some racing thrown in for good measure.
And some of the Junior Nation to make fun of.
none of the above is essential to my enjoyment of a race.
although not having a nice rendition of the national anthem would leave something lacking, imo.
I agree. And I usually enjoy having a good flyover since a NASCAR race is one of the few events big enough to draw one.Originally Posted by 9rows
I just need seats with butt room and leg room and for everyone in front of me to sit the eff down so I don't have to get up. Also put food and beer and a urinal in and under the seat so I don't have to get up 20 times a race to let others out of the row.
PS. The seats on the fronstretch at PIR suck. When is that track going to spend some $$ and upgrade them?
No rain.
Minimized meddling from the sanctioning body enhances the experience substantially, IMO.
Both legs broken and nothing else on TV.
After California I agree with this as my number 1 need.Originally Posted by Hilltopper
A good, clean, fast race and a quick short-cut out of the track that nobody else knows.
I put "Other". If they want me to put in the +12 hours it takes to go to a race track I want support races on the same day! All that other stuff isn't racing.
All I need is plenty of H20 and my scanner !!
Go Dario, Dixon and Vitor!!! .42 JPM.

Military flyovers: Extravagance or invaluable?

Gimme a break. How about wanting to watch a bunch of hard headed, take no prisoners drivers goin' as hard as they can to pass whatever's in front of them.
In other words, a real car race.
I voted other. To me it is much more important to see open wheel cars. NASCAR is OK for a change of pace, but IMHO a real oval racing experience requires the cars to have open wheels. Midgets, Sprints, Indy Cars are all preferable to Tin Tops.
...Always follow the money

A whole lotta hoot, and just a little bit of nanny
Mirrored from Infotropism. You can comment there or here.
I've recently had the misfortune of having had to sit through a series of classes on Western Music History that managed to make just about every form of music prior to 1900 seem deathly dull, irrelevant, and inaccessible. It amazes me how they can do this. I mean, it's not hard to find some truly amazing stuff even within the confines of "Western Art Music", and present it in a way that's engaging. So why don't they? Do they not know? Are they just teaching it out of a sense of obligation? Did they sit through dull music history classes back in the day and figure that we have to suck it up just like they did?
The Medieval period. What we learnt in class: there was Gregorian chant, which was basically monophonic vocals without much rhythm or melody to speak of, and then mumble mumble something happened and there was polyphony, SURPRISE! RENAISSANCE!
Yeah right. As if that's all that was going on musically in the middle ages. We're talking about an era that gave you St Vitus' Dance, an uncontrollable urge to dance all over the place as if possessed by the devil. You think they did that to Gregorian chant? Of course not.
Here's Corvus Corax with a little something to show you how it's done:
Yeah, those dudes have a lightshow and moshpit. Their interpretive choices for this Saltarello (a 13th century number, if I recall correctly) are, ahem, somewhat non-standard, but no more ridiculous than the early music ensembles that play medieval dance tunes as if they were lullabies and dirges. No self-respecting medieval musician would've been able to earn his or her living unless they could get the village green jumping.
Corvus Corax use a range of medieval instruments including medieval-style bagpipes, ear-shattering shawms (clocked at 98dB!), and of course a buttload of percussion. But if you really want to appreciate the full ridiculous awesomeness of medieval instruments, you need to check out some of these Youtube videos:

This volume presents current understanding of the mechanisms and environments of the formation of calcretes and palustrine carbonates. Through a series of specific field examples, papers in this volume illustrate the wide variety of potential applications of these types of deposits. The papers presented here cover a wide array of ages and environmental settings of calcrete and palustrine deposition and include many interesting applications, such as the climatic and geomorphic controls on calcrete formation, possible modern analogues for palustrine carbonates, the interplay between palustrine, pedogenic, and diagenetic processes, the utility of radio-isotopic methods for dating pedogenic carbonates, applications to understanding landscape evolution, and reconstruction of diagenetic sequences. The result is a state-of-the-art book on these deposits so common in the geological record and in recent environments.
