Broadway Across Canada subscribers jump to secure tickets to hot new musical
Canada's favourite heartwarming, homegrown musical, Come from Away has stunned audiences in Toronto, and across the United States. It's currently one of the most critically acclaimed musicals on Broadway, and has garnered a whopping seven Tony Award nominations, including Best Musical. It's no surprise Broadway Across Canada jumped at the chance to bring this show's touring production to audiences across the country, including an engagement in Ottawa in 2018-19.
In anticipation of this hot ticket, Broadway Across Canada subscribers are scooping up their favourite seats before the subscription window closes in a few weeks. Priority access to additional tickets, automatic subscription renewals, and zero interest payment plans keep loyal theatre fans coming back every year. With this exceptional new Canadian musical on the horizon, and a spectacular lineup of shows coming to town in the interim, subscriptions to the series in Ottawa are a hot commodity.
Before Come from Away comes to town, Broadway Across Canada will be bringing a season of pure spectacle to Ottawa's National Arts Centre. The company's much anticipated 2017-18 season in Ottawa boasts three large-scale, immensely popular Broadway juggernauts, each of which serves up a feast for the senses.
"We are constantly looking to provide the most compelling benefits for our season subscribers," explains Shana Levin, vice-president of Broadway Across Canada. "From guaranteed seating locations and avoiding ticket pricing increases to our new interest-free payment plan, we ensure that subscribers enjoy every moment of the season – from the moment they purchase until the last second before the curtains close."
The 2017/18 season begins with a new, lavish production of the worldwide phenomenon, The Phantom of the Opera.
Cameron Mackintosh's brilliant original production of The Phantom of the Opera has been capturing the hearts and imaginations of audiences since it opened in London's West End in 1986 and on Broadway in 1988, and now this spectacular new production will come to Ottawa in a production that critics are calling "bigger and better than ever before." The production is replete with stunning stage visuals including the original Maria Björnson costume designs, exciting special effects including the show's legendary chandelier and, of course, the timeless score by legendary composer Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Next up on the season lineup is a visually stunning new production of one of the greatest mega-musicals ever written, Les Misérables.
The timeless story of Jean Valjean, an unjustly imprisoned convict on the run from the law in 19th century France, has touched the hearts of millions of theatregoers for almost 32 years. The sweeping epic is brought to vibrant life with an updated, resplendent design in this must-see new touring production.
The final show presented in the season of spectacles is Broadway's The Illusionists. A world-renowned magic show featuring some of the globe's finest magicians, this eye-popping evening at the theatre will astound audiences of all ages.
A high-tech, mind-blowing record-breaking magic show, The Illusionists has dazzled audiences across the globe with its powerful mix of the most outrageous and astonishing acts ever to be seen on stage. This non-stop show is packed with thrilling and sophisticated magic of unprecedented proportions.
"You really need to see it to believe it," says Levin.
Individual tickets for the 2017-18 season will go on sale to the general public at later dates, but audience members interested in seeing each of these performances can access tickets now by becoming a Broadway Across Canada subscriber.
"We are delighted to be bringing beloved shows like The Phantom of the Opera and Les Misérables to Ottawa for the first time in over 10 years," says Levin. "These shows are truly iconic, having defined a generation of Broadway fans. We are equally excited to introduce Ottawa to The Illusionists, after a phenomenally successful run in Toronto and New York. The mix of classic Broadway titles alongside this thrilling new production featuring stunning acts of grand illusion means there truly is something for every taste"
The Phantom of the Opera plays the National Arts Centre Oct. 17-29.
Les Misérables plays the National Arts Centre Feb. 12-18, 2018
The Illusionists plays the National Arts Centre March 27-April 1, 2018

Part 2: The new organization creates a few additional demands and/or constraints upon our pack parent/leaders and our families.
The Lansing Scout Service Center/store has reduced hours. Families need to adjust the timing of their visits to the scout store. The pack can still take registration money to this office. That money is then forwarded to national headquarters or to Flint.
All the computer programs which contain our existence (charter) , rank advancements, training, event attendance, etc. must be inputted and run by our unit parents. This makes involvement and our parent meetings more necessary than ever before. We need parents who know computers well enough to get our work done. Since everyone has a full time job other than scouting, I think we need two or three parents to help do this. The business group ( committee ) of our pack cannot remain at two or three people. Burnout and dissolving the pack are the natural results. As you are aware, in the last few years, some longtime local units have been unable to continue. As when one of our den leaders is sick - not much gets done. The boy's program suffers. A strong nucleus and back up is necessary. Our size and your past involvements have kept us going thus far. But, we need more.
Incomplete paperwork might be months in arrears, before Flint or National Office return them to us, for corrections. This means proofreading by our parents is imperative. Insurance coverages (etc.) are questionable, at best, when not recorded as being a scout or registered volunteer or on tour/trip permits, even if money was submitted.
Scout rank advancements cannot be purchased without a computer download that indicate requirements were satisfied. Units are responsible for timely input. tragically , this month we did not make the Webelos Woods advance computer sign-up timeframe. Several of our families have suffered.
If and when the Lansing scout store closes, the volunteers will just have to get used to driving to Flint. I believe some Lansing merchant may carry scout uniforms in their inventory. A flaw in this is that scout uniforms are fair trade items. Therefore, a merchant would have to contribute shelf space out of community concern and welfare, not for profit. I think Grand Rapid's Scout Store being on the south east side of GR, may be the easiest for us. The current Lansing property is paid for, but, maintenance and taxes are on going concerns. Awards, derbies, books and more, also continue to be a part of our support. Merchants would much rather have a community of scouts, than gang bangers, it is better for us all.
Monies raised for local scouting has a new meaning to me. Rogers City, Alpena and Grayling, Gladwin etc. are just as important to the council's vision as Lansing and Pack 386 and we also contribute to Flint's funding. The council governs 1/3 of the State of Michigan's lower peninsula. Lansing, as another out state region of Flint, cannot possibly receive extra for our particular needs.
It is obvious there are less paid scouting jobs in Lansing. These may have gone away or they may be located in a different city. We have been assured our support will be better. The pack now writes checks to Boy Scouts of America, not to Chief Okemos.
There seems to be less local camporees lately, and, there was no spring camporee in any of our "old" districts. The miles to the new "council" events has been greatly increased. Some Lansing based Boy Scout Troops indicate they wish to hold events and invite cubs. The problem is their parent/leader resources are not much better than our cub pack's, so burnout is a concern.
Pack 386 will continue to finance its own program. and each year we must decide on how to do this best. In the past, we have not had much extra money to support our scout office. As a normal pack, we deal with 1st, 2nd and 3rd graders for the most part. Which really equates to young families - just starting out in life, not knowing the whys of scouting.
These reorganizational impacts are more significant for cub scout packs. Packs deal with families who are completely unaware of scouting's grand potential for their sons. Scout troops have people who have had scouting as a part of their lives for four or five years or more and have seen their sons & friends grow into Eagles. Pack families, being new, aren't even sure that they want to be a scout family. Getting parents to be active is very difficult, usually relegated to those who were boy or girl scouts in their youth. Packs are training grounds for lifetime ideals of scouting. I will tell you it is worth it. I was never a scout, but seeing my children and their friends and my grandchildren plus many many more, has kept me involved, and be in a position where I can be of most service to you, my friends, for about 30 years now.
I hope to continue to transition great scouts and great families to Boy Scouts. But I need your help. Scouts make great citizens!
This is not all the impacts which will trickle down. I will communicate more when more is known. But it is obvious, volunteers in scouting, must be more dedicated and more committed to become involved. Our efforts to control this "business end" of our program and make it transparent to our sons depends upon us all. This is the direction of the wind!
As always, your input is welcomed and needed to run our pack. These opinions are my own.... Al Opdyke

Just in time for cold and flu season comes the results of a study which found that a single sneeze in a busy area can infect up to 150 people withint five minutes. The snotty science found that a sneeze expels about 100,000 droplets of germs into the air at the speed of about 90 miles per hour. In a busy area such as a subway station these droplets will infect up to 10 percent of commuters, or about 150 people. (The Scotsman)

Okay, I promise, after this post I'll stop talking about the crazy last few weeks I've had, what with Scammy Scammerton and the flu and moving. But let's not forget that often troubles and adventures go hand in hand. So maybe we should call this:
Jae and the Incredible Car Adventure!
I've owned my current car, Azul, for 5 years and despite its 12 years of age, it's been a good friend to me and hasn't asked for much. Mostly I followed the recommended replacements and kept it frequent on oil changes and tire rotations.
And then one day out of nowhere, with no warning or previous indication of problem Azul decides to play dead.
My first thoughts are battery. After all, I have one of those fabulous cars that if you leave the keys in the ignition AFTER the car has been turned off the radio will stay running all night long. I'm sure the engineers thought this would be a convenience, especially at the drive-in movie theater. I mean in 2001 EVERYONE was going to the drive-in theater. Right? Right? That's the location of one of my favorite and somewhat terrifying episodes of Psych.
But alas, the battery was fine and keys had not been left in the ignition.
I cannot tell you how awful it feels to have a car you believe to be 100% reliable—okay, 99% reliable—suddenly refuse to come back to life. It would be like waking up at 8am and realizing the sun hadn't come up that morning. At first there's confusion. You double-check your clocks, call your neighbors, check the interwebz and then that awful pit of realization settles in your stomach.
The first time this happened, the BFF and I had someone come and jump it, even though I was fairly certain the battery was just fine. Azul made that whirring turning over sound, but it never roared to life. But this may be because the BFF's solution for everything is a little electricity.
Anyway, with about 0% other options, we opted for the jump. Somehow that seemed to work, so we took it right over to the mechanic who hooked up the computer and carefully explained that… NOTHING. They couldn't find a thing wrong with it. We even killed the engine and it started right back up without a hitch as though my little Azul was just playing a naughty prank on me.
Bad Azul! Bad!
And several days passed as though nothing had happened. Maybe it was just one of those things. (Okay, with cars, it's rarely just one of those things. Those are warnings, people! Warnings!)
While out to pick up a Redbox rental, I went to fire up my little muchacho and Azul was out for the count. Gah! Not again! We asked for a jump again, since it had worked the last time, but as I had feared, the battery wasn't a problem.
The dude helping us said if we got some starter fluid, he'd get the car started. I walked into the gas station, picked up the starter fluid and handed it to Helpful Dude. And then what can only be described as pure voodoo nonsense magic happened next.
He stood over the engine, cigarette lit in one hand, highly flammable-in-fact-more-flammable-than-gasoline starter fluid in the other hand and sprayed away. VROOOOM!
When I visited my parents, the faux dead thing happened again, and the voodoo nonsense magic worked again, but now I was getting worried. I talked to my uncle, a mechanic, about the problem. He had a few ideas, but suggested I start with the fuel filter since it was the least expensive fix. Since my car needed an oil change anyway, I took it in, requesting a fuel filter change as well.
Azul and I were back together again. Reunited! Okay, all our troubles are behind us now.
But not really.
After shopping later in the evening, I returned to my car only to find it had been smashed by some strange blue police box.
No, I'm kidding. But it might well have been. It was dee-yad (dead). Again. Well, not battery dead. I mean won't roar to life, violently shaking when I try dead. I even pulled out a can of black voodoo nonsense magic and pretended to be smoking a cigarette while spraying parts of plastic that would have no effect on getting the engine started. It seems the VNM was running on empty.
I called my insurance company, of whom I pay to come and tow me in situations like this, but decided to try once more to see if I could wake Azul up. VROOOOM!
Okay, first stop, the mechanics shop. Left them a note, Azul, and the keys.
Next morning they'd discovered that after much thorough investigation they'd come up with NOTHING again. But I explained what happened and that they'd better fix Azul OR ELSE! (I never explained what or else would be).
Actually, they were very nice and spent an hour or two trying to get my car to replicate the problem so they could be sure of what it was before replacing what they thought it might be. Yeah, I appreciate mechanics that are looking to know rather than guess.
Them: Hi Jae, well, your car finally died.
Jae: What? ¡No me digas! You killed Azul?!
Them: Well, no, I mean, Azul—er—the car, anyway, we were able to replicate the problem. It turns out you had a fault flux capacitor.
Jae: Say what? I've been up to 88 mph tons of times and I've never once traveled back in time.
Them: Exactly our point! Faulty flux capacitor. Anyways it fortunately will only cost you one arm. No legs required.
Okay, so maybe it wasn't a flux capacitor but crankshaft position censor sounds nearly identical to that doesn't it? Either way it looks like I will be able to travel back in time to catch the premiere of this in the near future. I just need to find some plutonium first.
Thankfully Azul is doing just fine and there are plenty more adventures for us ahead. But now you know the tale of the Incredible Car Adventure.
What's the worst car trouble story you've ever heard or experienced? Do you love your car, hate it, or a little bit of both? Have you named your car or is it too utterly ridiculous to name an inanimate object? Did you know what a crankshaft position censor was before this story?

I agree with your method, Carey, on how you handled the situation with the client who had unjustified wrath against you. It was wrath, not anger that he had against you and his new system. His language toward you was not justified. The way you handled was justified.
The rest of the show was great. I agree with you both on antivirus, MSE's test results, and malwarebytes pro. I want to adopt yours and Mike's malware protection strategy, but where I work we still have 295 days on our Kaspersky account so it will be a while before we adopt the strategy. At work I have OpenDNS for our DNS servers (no trouble from that – 3 years running) and web filtering, then Kaspersky as our malware/virus protection. In 3 years we haven't had any malware issues on our machines.

After listening to Carey expatiate on deloying the 'Law of Nature', hope he switches hobbies from firearms to stamp collecting….
Nasty comments are just unnecessary.
glow said on December 18th, 2012 at 12:41 pm
Both Google & Amazon are 'public' companies in the sense anyone can buy their stock.
Before their IPOs, only insiders could do this.
As public companies, their only obligation involves obeying various levels of governmental security laws and SEC filing regulations.
There is zero connection between ownership status and marketing strategy.
Should you be curious about the latter plans, a fruitful place to look would be their recent 10K, 8K, & 10Q SEC filings available on Edgar, since these public records must be truthful by law.
Yosif said on December 23rd, 2012 at 9:55 am
I liked this podcast particularly, its a very good show and good tips that you both talked about. One thing that irritates me every time when I'm using Google is their layouts changes, they make it to something that is "stupid" and unnesserly. Why would you change things that worked well and make it complicated and not userfriendly. Maybe is that their new strategy but its useless from my point of view to Google.
Greetings from the Netherlands.
Hey guys I'm from the UK, I have only just recently found careys' videos on youtube which actually helped me with my most recent build, thanks for that! although I have built around 4 machines in total now, it's nice to see a pro do it and take notes for self-confidence.
Fantastic videos on youtube carey, I can't wait for more! Would like to see the next parts of the DAW-build you are currently doing and also you have an amazing setup in your lounge with all that sound equipment you have hooked up, real nice, that sort of visual aspect provides me with motivation to succeed further!
Hey Mike, I've only come across you on your podcasts but you also provide great information and fantastic views of modern day tech and software tips, appreciate that also, keep it up!
Now, for my input in regards to google, I work within the SEO industry and all I see after google updates, is that google seems to only favour the major branded stores and couldn't care less about small businesess, they smash small business websites down to the ground in terms of rankings in most updates! Could this be a ploy to force smaller business owners into using adwords instead spending much lesser amounts on SEO? who knows but I personally think so.
You touched on DuckDuckGO, and I had a little play with it, it's actually quite a good search engine, the results are accurate, moreso than Bing, I must admit and it looks slick.
Anyway, keep up the great work and publishing content, you guys are onto a winner!

Wetlands Protection
Protecting our precious wetlands
The need for evaluation of wetlands on Clear, Ston(e)y and White Lakes was identified as early as 1990 by Trent-Severn Waterway (TSW) and other government bodies with an interest in the environment. Wetlands in the southern part of the Province and on our lakes were rapidly disappearing due to development – a total of 70 percent wetland loss over the previous few decades.
This concern was shared by what was then the Ston(e)y Lake Environment Council, which was working to try to protect the lake environment. In 2005, this group sparked the beginning of the Lake Planning process, which was done on a local watershed basis, including Clear, Ston(e)y and White Lakes.
Cottagers, lake-residents, on-lake businesses, and local government and agency representatives were consulted and involved in this process. At public workshops, participants expressed support for protection and restoration of natural shorelines and wetlands because they play such an important role in protecting water quality in the lakes –the top priority identified by lake residents during the process.
The final Lake Plan report, issued in summer 2008, contained recommendations reflecting the commitment of the Environment Council/Lake Plan Steering Committee to assist in the study of approximately 900 hectares of wetlands on the lakes. While the report was being written, a multi-year in-water wetland program was launched in 2007. It began with an environmental scan of areas believed to have important wetland features, as previously identified in studies conducted by TSW and Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR).
Other government bodies also recognized the need, and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO), TSW, MNR and Otonabee Region Conservation Foundation offered funding and in-kind support to the Environment Council/Lake Plan Steering Committee to get the job done. Other funding was provided by charitable organizations with an interest in the environment, including the Stony Lake Heritage Foundation and the RBC Bluewater Foundation. MNR has reviewed these data and confirmed Locally Significant Wetlands now known as Clear Lake South Wetland, Viamede Wetland Complex, Davis Island Wetland Complex and Juniper Island Wetland. For a complete map of these wetlands and the PSWs described above, click on Wetlands Map under this main Wetlands heading.
Provincially Significant Wetlands
Detailed field studies were carried out by professional biologists using the official MNR protocol, the Ontario Wetland Evaluation System. Field work was carried out in South Bay and Hull Bay areas in 2008, the Big and Little Duck Ponds in 2009, and in Gilchrist Bay in 2010. Data from these wetland studies were reviewed and evaluated by MNR, and all of these areas have been designated Provincially Significant Wetlands.
This designation results from the many special features of these wetlands and the exceptional abundance and diversity of vegetative and animal species – including muskie and a number of at risk species – that they and the land immediately around them support.
In April 2012, following evaluation of the data from Gilchrist Bay, MNR combined the Duck Ponds, the former Clarina Wetland and Gilchrist Bay into what is now known as the Whetung Road Wetland Complex. This complex also includes the north end of White Lake. To see maps of these designated areas, click on Presentation in this section.
As is its usual practice, MNR provided updated mapping and information on this complex to the affected municipalities and other government agencies such as Otonabee Region Conservation Authority, for incorporation into their planning and regulations.
During the summer of 2011, biologists studied Hamilton Bay, an area west of Mount Julian, and Clear Lake. MNR has reviewed these data and confirmed Locally Significant Wetlands in these areas. The Fraser Property Complex and the Fairy Lake Island Complex continue to be designated by MNR as Provincially Significant Wetlands.
All evaluated wetlands are reflected in municipal Official Plans as Areas of Environmental Protection that require careful review in the planning process.
Designation affects planning and development
Provincially Significant Wetlands (PSWs) are protected natural heritage features within the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) under the Planning Act, and under the County of Peterborough Official Plan. The Conservation Authorities Act also provides protection of wetlands and adjacent land. The Townships around Clear, Ston(e)y and White Lakes are required to have regard for the protections provided under the PPS and to reflect them in their Official Plans.
The PPS states that any development within 120 metres of a Provincially Significant Wetland requires an Environmental Impact Assessment prior to approval.
If you are thinking of carrying out work on your property that requires planning approval, such as re-zoning, severing the land, or variance to zoning setback, contact the County and/or your local Township planning department for further information about the process that must be followed. If you are planning work that requires a building permit and/or Otonabee Region Conservation Authority (ORCA) permit, such as constructing a building or addition, grading or filling, contact ORCA and your township building department to find out about permitting and approval requirements. If a landowner on the Trent-Severn Waterway wishes to undertake any shoreline or in-water work, written approval is required from the Trent-Severn Waterway/Parks Canada before any work begins. For further information and permit application forms, please go to TSW Permits.
If your plans include an expanded septic tank or bed, the Peterborough County-City Health Unit will also need to consider whether it could affect a PSW.

The subject matter of this application is related to the subject matter disclosed in application Ser. No. 256,710, entitled "Apparatus & Process for Manufacture of Tunnel Tubes"; Ser. No. 256,728, entitled "Apparatus & Process for Improved Manufacture of Shells for Tunnel Tubes"; and Ser. No. 256,709, entitled "Access Tower for Manufacture of Tunnel Tubes", which were filed on the same day as this application and assigned to the same assignee.
This invention relates to the construction of tunnel tubes for use under rivers, bays and other bodies of water, and more particularly to improved apparatus and process of manufacture of the component parts for such tunnel tubes. Then the tubes are positioned in open-trenches on the floors of the bodies of water, the tubes are assembled from individual sections which are fabricated on land and then floated to the tunnel site where they are lowered into place. Due to their enormous size, the tunnel sections are in turn constructed of a plurality of separate modules which are individually fabricated and then assembled together.
Tunnel tubes for vehicular highways or mass-transportation systems can be on the order of one-half mile to a mile or more in length. Typically, the tunnel sections used to make up the tunnel tubes are made of steel, can be 300 to 400 feet in length, 30 to 40 feet in diameter, for example, and thousands of tons in weight. The tunnel modules in turn are the same diameter as the sections, but are a fraction of their length and weight and are easier to assemble and handle. For example, a tunnel section can be comprised of five to ten tunnel modules or more, each module being 30 to 45 feet in length.
The tunnel tubes can have a single passageway or lane for traffic, or can have several lanes. Often two tunnel sections are intimately joined together side-by-side forming a tunnel tube with four lanes or more for traffic.
The individual tunnel modules are welded or otherwise securely fixed together at the construction site into an elongated tunnel section. Where a single tunnel section is utilized, the requisite number of modules are reinforced, positioned end-to-end, and then joined together as a unit. Where two tunnel sections are to be constructed as a tunnel unit, the modules are welded both end-to-end with other modules, as well as side-by-side with adjacent modules. An external framework of steel plates is positioned around the perimeter of the tunnel sections forming enclosed units. The open ends of the hollow tunnel sections are also covered with steel plates so that the sections can be floated and towed to their final positions. Either at the site where the tunnel sections are assembled, or at another site where the sections are first towed, the sections are completed internally with a concrete lining, roadways, fresh air passageways, wiring and the like. In this manner, once the tunnel sections are positioned in the trenches, most of the remaining work will involve connecting the internal structures and mechanisms together.
The construction methods and equipment used to position and lower the tunnel sections into the trench and then fasten them together underwater are known and do not form a part of this invention. A preferred method is disclosed in the article entitled "Deep-Water Tunneling Operations Tie-In with Pinpoint Accuracy", which appeared in the September, 1973 issue of "Construction Methods & Equipment", the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
The trench is dredged and the bed is prepared while the tunnel sections are being constructed and towed into position. The tunnel sections are accurately positioned over the trench on the water surface by barges and tugboats and then weighted further with ballast and slowly lowered beneath the water into the trench. One end of each section has a large rubber gasket mounted around it and hydraulically operated jacks and locking devices are actuated to pull the sections together in the trench and secrurely lock them together. Since the tunnel sections are hollow and sealed, the only water which needs to be evacuated is contained in the areas between the sections. Once this is pumped out, the facing plates on the ends of the sections are removed and finishing work is done to connect the sections and complete the tunnel tube. When the tunnel sections are finally positioned and locked in place, they are covered over with fill as well as the material originally excavated from the trench.
The tunnel modules are formed from a large rectangular steel plate of about 1/4 to 9/16 inch in thickness which is rolled into a large cylinder. A cylindrically-shaped fixture is used as a form around which the cylinder is rolled. The rolling fixture (also called a "spider") is collapsible so that it can be removed later from the module.
After the module shell is formed, the shell and fixture are placed as a unit on pedestals where a supporting and bracing framework is constructed around the external surface of the shell. The shell and fixture unit is adapted to be rotated so that the external framework can be secured to it in the easiest manner. As access tower is provided for workmen so they can more easily position and secure the framework components to the shell.
Once the braces, struts and other supporting framework are fixed to the shell, the module is complete except for the external skin or surface of steel plates. The plates can be added at this time before the fixture is collapsed and removed, or afterwards when the module is being secured to other modules.
When all the modules are welded together and the external plates and end plates are welded on them forming an integral tunnel section, the section is complete and ready to be launched. Access to the tunnel sections for any further internal work is accomplished through one or more holes cut in the top thereof.
Heretofore when tunnel modules have been constructed, some problems and difficulties have been encountered in the construction process. Some of these problems relate to the rolling up of the steel shell, the rotating of the shell and fixture on the pedestals, the collapsing of the rolling fixture, the removal of the fixture from the shell, and the reassembly of the fixture for reuse. Another problem area concerns workman access from the tower to the shell for assembly of the diaphragms and support framework.
It is an object of this invention to improve the apparatus and process for fabrication of tunnel modules. It is a further object to overcome one or more of the problems and difficulties heretofore encountered in the construction of tunnel modules and sections.
The above problems and difficulties are overcome by means of the apparatus and process described and claimed herein. The apparatus and process are further shown in the appended drawings which are described below.

A section of a tunnel tube for a multi-lane vehicle roadway is shown in FIG. 1 and generally designated by the reference numeral 50. An exploded view of the tunnel section 50 showing the individual tunnel modules 52 and 54 is shown in FIG. 2. The section 50 is formed in this instance of fourteen modules, ten modules 54 each approximately forty-five feet long and four modules 52 each approximately thirty feet long. Other combinations and sizes are of course possible. One of the individual tunnel modules 54 is shown in side and end views in FIGS. 3 and 4, respectively.
As shown in FIGS. 1-4, each of the tunnel modules and thus each of the tunnel sections has a cylindrical-shaped internal hollow shell 56. When the modules 52, 54 are connected end-to-end, an elongated tunnel 58 is formed. The shell 56 is surrounded on its external surface by a plurality of bulkheads or diaphragms 60 and supporting girders or struts 62. The outer surface of the shell 56 also has a plurality of stiffening members 64 which are secured to the plate prior to the time it is rolled up into a shell. The diaphragms 60 act to form a stabilizing framework around the shell to help strengthen it for its ultimate use and at the same time act together with struts 62 to form a supporting framework for the external plates 66. A plurality of plates 66 are secured as by welding around the entire outer surface of the tunnel modules and sections. Later, after the tunnel section is almost finished, some of the compartments formed between the shell 56 and the outer skin of plates 66 are filled with concrete or ballast. Eventually, when it is time to sink the tunnel sections and position them into the trench in the seabed, virtually all of these compartments are filled with concrete or other ballast.
The shell 56 and the plates 66 are formed of about 1/4 to 9/16 inch thick steel plates. The diaphragms, supporting girders and stiffening members also are made of steel.
The diaphragms are preferably formed into I-beams or T-shaped beams in cross-section, and the girders are either angle irons or metal box beams with a square-shaped cross-section. Also, all of the metal plates, girders, etc. are secured and permanently fastened together by welding. Of course, other materials with similar properties and performance are also believed to be usable.
Although the internal shell 56 is circular in cross-section, the outer surface formed of plates 66 is generally octagonal in cross-section. When two tunnel modules are to be positioned side-by-side as depicted in FIGS. 1-4, one side 68 of each module is adapted to abut a corresponding side of another module which is formed as a mirror-image of the first one. The side 68 and corresponding side of the adjacent module also do not have plates 66 positioned thereon, but are butt welded together facing each other as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. The plates 66 welded to all of the remaining external surfaces of the two-part tunnel section 50 completely enclose the structure.
After the modules 52 and 54 are welded together into a completed tunnel tube section, the structures inside the tube or shell 56 are completed. A concrete liner 70 is formed around the entire inside diameter of the shell and a concrete roadway 72 is added. A ceiling surface 74 is formed above the roadway 72 and openings 76 and 78 are left for fresh air passageways, wiring, conduits, ducts and the like. Typically, the completion of the internal structures is done after the tunnel section is launched and floated, but before it is towed into position above the trench or lowered into it.
The apparatus and procedure used to construct the shell 56 is shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. The rectangular piece of steel 56' from which the shell is to be made is laid out float on a roll-out table 80. The table 80 is constructed of I-beams and other steel components in a grid pattern essentially as shown and the table is positioned on concrete footings 82. The flat plate 56' is fabricated from numerous smaller plates 84 which are cut to size and butt welded together along their seams. The length and width of the plate 56' are predetermined and the plate 56' is cut to the size necessary to form the shell 56 of the module. A plurality of long, thin stiffening members 64 are welded to the plate 56' before it is laid on the table 80. (The stiffeners 64 are better shown in FIGS. 4, 16 and 22.) The stiffeners 64 are positioned on the bottom of the plate 56' when it is laid out on the roll-up table 80 so they will be on the outer surface of the shell 56 when it is rolled up. The stiffening members 64 fit within a plurality of spaced-apart slots 86 in the grid members on the table so that the plate 56' will lay flat.
The plate 56' is rolled up around a fixture 88. The fixture is also called a spider and is described in more detail below. The fixture 88 is placed on one end of the plate 56' on the roll-up table 80. Blocks 90 and 92 are provided on each end of the table 80 to limit the movement of the fixture and hold it steady at the beginning and conclusion of the roll-up process. The end of the plate 56' (the left end as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6) is secured to the fixture 88 using a plurality of U-shaped brackets (not shown) positioned over appropriate members of the fixture and welded to the surface of the plate 56'. Later, after the plate is completely rolled up and two opposite ends of the plate are butt welded together, the U-shaped brackets are knocked off.
During roll-up, the fixture 88 with the plate 56' attached is rolled in the direction of the arrow 94 from one end of the table 80 to the other. The position of the fixture 88 at the conclusion of the roll-up process is shown in phantom lines and designated by the numeral 88'. Steel wire cables 96 attached at one end to the fixture 88 and at the opposite end to winches 98 are used to roll the fixture along the table. Preferably the winches are hydraulically driven but can be electrically or pneumatically driven instead. A pair of cables and winches are provided, each pair associated with a U-shaped channel 100 extending in a circle around the outer edges of the fixture 88. (For a better understanding of the channels they are also shown in FIGS. 8, 11-14, 16 and 23). Before the roll-up procedure is initiated, the cables 96 are wrapped at least once completely around the fixture (in the channels 100) and securely attached thereto. Preferably, the cables are wrapped 11/2 times around the fixture channel, as shown in FIG. 5. In this manner, the cables do not have to be detached, repositioned and reattached at any point in the roll-up process, as was necessary with prior tunnel fabrication procedures, but the process can be continued from start to finish without any interruptions.
FIG. 14 is an enlarged view depicting the manner in which the cables 96 are attached to the fixture 88. A wedge-cable anchor socket 102 is attached by pin 104 to a bracket 106 which is secured to and part of the fixture. The cable 96 after it is wrapped in the U-shaped channel 100 completely around the fixture is passed through a gap 108 in the channel 100 and secured to the lug 102.
If the two ends of the plate 56' overlap when it is rolled up, the excess can be cut off and the two ends welded together, or the plate can be sprung open to allow the two ends to meet. If, on the other hand, a gap is left between the ends of the plate when it is rolled up, means must be provided in order to compensate for it. In accordance with the present apparatus and process, a mechanism is provided in the fixture for slightly adjusting the diameter of the fixture to compensate for such an occurrence. This mechanism is discussed below in connection with the discussion of FIG. 15.
The details of the fixture 88 are shown in FIGS. 7-13. An end view of the fixture is illustrated in FIG. 7 and a side view in FIG. 8. FIGS. 9, 10 and 13 depict cross-sectional views taken along lines 9--9, 10--10 and 13--13 respectively of FIGS. 7 and 8 and are viewed in the direction on the arrows.
The fixture 88 has a central axle 110 and a plurality of circular main support members 112 and 114 (resembling spoked "wheels"). Three complete wheels 112 are provided (two or more are believed necessary) which have a complete framework of girders and I-beams, including some girders 188 and 188' extending inwardly to the axle 110. The girders 188 and 188' are attached to enlarged hub plates 116 which in turn are secured directly to the axle. The remaining circular members 114 are incomplete in the sense that they do not have any structural members connected directly to the central axle (see FIG. 9). The members 114 are connected to the other circular members 112 by means of the supporting framework of braces, I-beams and the like, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 13.
As mentioned earlier, the fixture 88 is adapted to be collapsed in order for it to be withdrawn from the completed or semi-completed module. Essentially, each of the circular support members 112 and 114 consists of four parts which allow the diameter of the fixture to be reached sufficiently for removal. As shown in FIGS. 7, 9 and 10, the members 112 and 114 have a stationary base portion 118, two inwardly rotating side portions 120 and 122, and a folding top linkage portion 124. The two sides portions 120 and 122 are pivotally connected to the base portion 118 by hinges 126 and 128 respectively. The top linkage portion 124 in turn is pivotably connected to the two side portions 120 and 122 by hinges 130 and 132, respectively. The linkage 124 is comprised of two foldable portions 134 and 136 which are pivotably connected together in the center by hinge pin 138. (The linkage arrangement is shown in more detail in enlarged form in FIGS. 11 and 12.)
The center pin connection 138 between the two parts of the foldable linkage is directly attached to a jacking truss 140. The truss 140 extends the axial length of the fixture 88 and operates all of the foldable linkages on all of the wheels 112 and 114 at the same time and in the same manner. In this regard, the operation of the jacking truss and thus the collapse and reassembly of the fixture is described in more detail below.
In general, when the jacking truss is lowered (i.e. pulled downwardly in FIG. 7 in a manner to be described hereinafter), the linkage 124 will fold inwardly causing the side portions 120 and 122 to rotate inwardly around pivot hinges 126 and 128. Stop members 142 and 144 limit the amount of movement of the linkage 124 and thus control the amount of collapse of the fixture.
A series of wheel members 146 are positioned along the length of the fixture and aid in the removal of the fixture from the module (as explained later). As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, two rows of four wheel members 146 are provided. When the shell 56 is being rolled up and the module is being constructed, the wheels are in their "up" position (as better shown in FIG. 27). Later, when the fixture is being removed from the module, the wheel members are lowered into their operating positions. It is understood that the wheel members 146 are not shown in scale in relation to the other parts of the fixture 88 in FIGS. 7-10 and 13, but have been enlarged for ease of presentation and clarity.
The circular support members 112 and 114 and the various cross-braces, angular connecting and axial connecting members of the fixture 88 are comprised of I-beams, girders, box beams and other steel structural members arranged as shown in the drawings. It is not believed necessary to specifically identify and describe each of such members. Persons of ordinary skill in the art have sufficient information from the drawings together with this written description in order to duplicate and construct a similar fixture. It is also possible to build into the inside of the fixture various walkways, additional supports, ladders and the like if they are needed depending on the frequent use and specific application of the fixture. For example, three ladders 148 and a walkway 150 for access by workmen to the jacking truss operating system are included in the fixture shown in FIG. 8.
The ends 152 and 154 of the axle 110 extend outwardly beyond the supporting framework of the fixture 88. The ends 152 and 154 are circular shafts and are adapted to rotatably mate with cradle-type sockets at the top of pedestals 156 and 158 (FIGS. 16-18 and 21) when the fixture and shell unit is removed from the roll-up table 80 and subjected to further processing. The axle 110 and ends 152 and 154 act as a shaft to allow the fixture and shell to be rotated as a unit on the pedestals for assembly of bulkheads or diaphragms, girders and the like on the outer surface thereof.
The jacking truss 140 is best shown in FIG. 13. The truss 140 is made from a series of I-beams, box beams and other girders in the configuration shown. The truss 140 extends the entire axial length of the fixture 88 and acts like a rigid beam for collapsing and reassembling all parts of the fixture simultaneously and in the same manner. The top beam 160 of the truss 140 is attached by connecting members 162 to each of the foldable linkage mechanisms 124 of the circular support members ("wheels") 112 and 114.
The operating mechanism 164 for the jacking truss 140 are attached at one end 166 to the truss itself and connected at the other end 168 to the central axle 110. Three identical operating mechanisms 164 are provided (two or more are believed necessary) in the fixture 88 and one of them is illustrated in enlarged detail in FIG. 15. The mechanism 164 generally comprises a structural support 170, a dual action hydraulic cylinder 172, and, sliding member 174. The support 170 is comprised of several girders and I-beams and provides the necessary rigidity and support for the cylinder 172 and sliding member 174. The cylinder 172 is preferably hydraulically operated but could be pneumatically operated instead. The cylinder 172 is a two stroke mechanism with two actuation chambers 176 and 177, a long stroke piston 178 and a short stroke piston 180. The long stroke piston 178 is attached by connecting mechanism 179 to sliding member 174 which in turn is directly connected to the jacking truss 140. The short stroke piston is attached directly to axle 110 by connecting member 181.
When the foldable linkage 124 is in its normal unfolded position (as shown in FIG. 11) and the fixture 88 has full cylindrical-shape, the long and short stroke pistons 178 and 180 are in their fully extended positions. In order to prevent the weight and the forces applied to the fixture 88 during roll up and subsequent processing steps from prematurely collapsing the fixture, a pin 182 is positioned in mating holes 183 and 185 through the structural support 170 and sliding member 174.
The pin 182 is attached by connecting mechanism 189 to piston arm 184 of another hydraulic cylinder 186. The cylinder 186 is positioned perpendicular to the hydraulic cylinder 172 and is attached to and supported by a beam 187.
When it is necessary to collapse the fixture 88 for removal from the module shell 56, the cylinder 186 is activated withdrawing the pin 182 from the sliding member 174. Then, the two cylinders 176 and 177 are activated and the jacking truss 140 is pulled inwardly toward the central axis of the fixture. This in turn causes the foldable linkage 124 to fold, the side portions 120 and 122 of the fixture to rotate inwardly, and the fixture to "collapse". The latter steps are shown in FIGS. 24 and 25. In this manner, a clearance "D" (FIG. 25) of from 8 to 10 inches can be obtained where the fixture has a diameter of from 30 to 40 feet.
Before the fixture 88 can be collapsed, it is also necessary to allow the inner ends of the beams 188 extending to the center of the circular support wheels 112 to have some freedom of movement. This movement is provided and is accomplished by the bolt and slot mechanisms shown in FIGS. 7, 29 and 30 which are formed as part of the hub plates 116. In the circular support members 112, the plates 116 are welded directly to the center axle 110 and the beams 188 which extend inwardly from the movable side portions 120 and 122 are attached (welded ) to arc-shaped members 190 and 192. Since the two lowermost beams 188' which also extend to the center of member 112 are connected at their outer ends to the stationary base 118 they do not need a similar freedom or availability of movement.
A series of slots 194 (four are shown) are provided in the plates 116. The bolts 196 extend through such slots and are threadably connected to nuts (not shown) on the opposite side of the arc-shaped members 190 and 192. When the fixture 88 is in its normal non-collapsed position, the bolts 196 and nuts are tightened and the arc-shaped members are in the positions shown in FIG. 29. When it is necessary to collapse the fixture, the bolts and nuts are loosened. In this manner, the arc-shaped members 190 and 192 will assume the positions shown in FIG. 30 when the cylinders 177 and 177 are activated and the linkage mechanism 124 is folded.
The dual action or two-stroke cylinder 172 also serves another purpose. If the steel plate 56' on the roll-up table 80 is cut slightly too small or a small gap exists for any other reason between the ends of the plate when it is rolled up into a cylindrical shell, then the short stroke piston 180 and its corresponding cylinder 177 can be activated. This will reduce the overall diameter of the fixture 88 to the slight extent necessary to close the gap and allow the ends of the plate 56' to be welded together. When the cylinder 177 is activated in this manner, it is not necessary to loosen the bolts 196, although it is necessary to remove the pins 182 from the operating mechanism 164. There is sufficient clearance and elastic flexibility in the parts of the fixture which will allow the diameter of the fixture to be reduced slightly without loosening the bolts on the hub plates 116.
After the shell 56 has been rolled up on the spider 88, the shell and fixture is moved as a unit onto pedestals 156 and 158. This is shown in FIG. 16. A tower 198 is positioned at one end of the pedestals to allow workmen to have ready access to the shell for further processing.
The pedestals 156 and 158 are A-frame type structures (see FIGS. 17 and 18) made of steel beams and other structural components. Pedestal 156 is positioned adjacent to and supported by the access tower 198, while pedestal 158 has a rear brace 200 for support. Pedestal 156 is permanently installed in the position shown, while the other pedestal 158 is adapted to be removable. As explained later, pedestal 158 must be removed in order for the fixture 88 to be pulled out and removed from the tunnel module.
The tops of each pedestal 156 and 158 have hydraulically operated jacking beams 240 and 242, respectively installed in them. (See FIGS. 17, 18 and 21.) These beams 240 and 242 comprise slidable steel frameworks 244 and 246 which are attached to the piston arms of hydraulic cylinders 248 and 250 and supporting cradles 252 and 254. The frameworks 244 and 246 are slidably arranged in the tops of pedestals 156 and 158 and the cradles support the shafts 152 and 154 of the axle 110. When the cylinders 248 and 250 are actuated, the fixture 88, together with the shell 56 (or completed module), can be raised or lowered.
The access tower 198 has sufficient height to allow workmen to have access directly to the top of the shell 56. Due to the weight and structural configuration of the diaphragms and supporting framework members, as well as the manner in which they are positioned on the shell, it is easier to assemble them on the top surface of the shell. In order to facilitate easy assembly of these members on the shell and always on the top surface, the shell and fixture unit is rotated on its pedestal supports.
The tower 198 has a steel I-beam framework and a series of ladders or stairways 202 leading from the ground to the upper platform 204 as shown in FIGS. 16 and 17. A house or booth 206 is positioned on top of the tower to protect the workmen from adverse weather elements. A moveable bridge 208 is positioned in the booth 206 and on top of the platform 204. After the shell and fixture unit is positioned on the pedestals 156 and 158, the bridge 208 is rolled out and extended over the surface of the shell so that the workmen can have safe access to the top of the shell. Also, as indicated earlier, the tunnel modules sometimes have varying lengths (30 to 45 feet), but, since they all have the same diameter and are constructed in essentially the same manner, they are all made on the same fixtures 88. Thus, the moveable bridge 208 is adapted to extend far beyond the edge of the fixture 88 in order to allow workman access to shells which are much smaller in length than the fixture.
Further details of the bridge 208 are shown in FIGS. 19 and 20. Handrails 209 are included on the sides of the bridge. A pair of V-rollers 210 are installed in the floor of the platform 204 and mate with bridge members 212 positioned underneath the floor 214 of the bridge 208. In addition, a pair of small rollers 216 are attached to the rear of the bridge by appropriate supporting members 218. These small rollers 216 glide along the underside of a supporting frame 220 attached to the platform 204 and prevent the bridge from tipping when a workman is on the outer end thereof. The frame 220 also has a stop 222 which prevents the bridge from rolling too far off the tower.
The arrangement for rotating the fixture and shell unit on the pedestals is shown in FIG. 22 in conjunction with FIG. 16. A pair of winches 224 and 226 are positioned on the ground or other supporting surface 225 at one end of the fixture 88 and approximately on opposite sides of a cross-section thereof. Cables 228 and 230 from winches 224 and 226, repectively, are positioned in one of the U-shaped channels 100 used earlier to roll up the shell. The cables 228 and 230 which are 5/8 inch diameter wire cables, are wrapped prespecified distances around the circular channels 100, passed through appropriate gaps in the channel, and attached with wedge-socket cable anchor lugs 232 and 234 (in the same manner as that discussed above with reference to FIG. 14). Cable size is of course determined by the load. The winches 224 and 226 can be either electrically, hydraulically or pneumatically operated and preferably are similar in type, size and operation to the winches 98 used on the shell roll-up table 80.
The cable 228 is passed from winch 224, wrapped approximately three-quarters of the way around the perimeter of the fixture channel 100 (as predetermined for this construction), and connected to anchor lug 232 at the position shown in FIG. 22. Similarly, the cable 230 is passed from winch 226, wrapped approximately one whole turn around the fixture channel, and connected to anchor lug 234.
When the diaphragms 60 are assembled and installed on the shell 56, the portions comprising each diaphragm ring (eight are shown) are installed separately or may be installed as combinations of several adjoining portions. As indicated above, the diaphragm portions and other supporting framework members (such as members 62 shown in FIG. 3) are installed on the shell from the top position, although the other supporting framework members may also be installed from the bottom. To accomplish this, the winches 224 and 226 are operated and the shell and fixture unit is rotated on the pedestals 156 and 158 so that the appropriate surface of the shell is presented at the top position.
To install the diaphragm 60' as shown in phantom lines in FIG. 22, the first diaphragm portion to be assembled is portion A. At that point, the portion A' of the shell 56 adjacent portion A will be at the top position. The shell and fixture unit is then rotated at 45° intervals counterclockwise and diaphragm portions B, C and D are welded in place. Then, the unit is rotated 180° clockwise and diaphragm portions E, F and G are installed. Finally, the unit is rotated another 45° in a clockwise direction and portion H is welded in place. At this point, the anchor lugs will be at the positions 232' and 234' (shown in phantom lines). Due to weight and balance considerations, the number of rows of diaphragms that may be installed at the same time may vary. If less than a complete set of diaphragm rings 60 and other adjacent support members are assembled in place initially, the process is repeated over and over until all of the requisite rings are in place. At this point, the module is essentially completed and the module will resemble the one shown in FIG. 23.
After the module is complete, the spider or fixture 88 must be removed so that the module can be transported to the site where the tunnel section is being assembled and the exterior plates 66 are added on. To accomplish this, the jacking beam mechanisms on the pedestals 156 and 158 are activated (described above) and the entire fixture and module unit is lowered onto blocks or other supports 256. This is shown in FIG. 23. At this point, the weight of the structure is supported by the blocks 256 and not by the pedestals.
Next, the fixture 88 is collapsed inside the module. As shown in FIGS. 24 and 25, the jacking truss operating mechanisms 170 consisting of hydraulic cylinders 176 and 177 are actuated and the foldable linkages 124 are collapsed. Of course, prior to activation of the cylinders 176 and 177, the pins 182 are withdrawn (through activation of hydraulic cylinders 186 described above) and bolts 196 in the slots 194 in plate hubs 116 are loosened (also as described above). The resulting collapse of the fixture 88 results in a sizeable space (D in FIG. 25) being formed between the top of the spider and the inner surface of the module shell 56.
As the next step, the pedestal jacking beam mechanisms 240 and 242 are again actuated and the spider which is now free from the module shell is raised approximately one-half the distance D formed by the collapse. This is shown in FIG. 26. At this point, the wheel mechanisms 146 shown in FIGS. 27 and 28 are lowered into operating position and a series of roller mechanisms 258 are installed. The wheel mechanisms 146 are described above and each comprise a wheel 260 arranged in a support 262 which is pivotably mounted at one end by member 264 on one of the beams or girders 265 of the fixture 88. The other end of support 26 is mounted in its "up" position by pin member 266 and adapted to be secured in its lowered position by pin member 268.
The roller mechanisms 258 are preferably of the type manufactured by the Hillman Equipment Company and are shown in more detail in FIG. 32. The mechanisms each have an endless chain track of cylindrically-shaped rollers 290 positioned around a bar 292 in a strong housing 294. As shown in FIG. 28, the roller mechanisms are welded in position directly beneath an I-beam 265 which extends the length of the fixture 88. Two rows of three or four roller mechanisms 258 are provided along the length of fixture 88. They are positioned beneath an I-beam 265 so that the fixture can be removed easily and without damage by rolling it along the rollers 260. Later, after the spider is removed from the module, the Hillman rollers are knocked off from the shell for reuse.
After the wheel mechanisms 146 are lowered into position and the Hillman roller mechanisms 258 are installed in position, the pedestal jacking beam mechanisms are actuated further. The mechanisms 240 and 242 are actuated to lower the collapsed fixture onto the Hillman rollers, as shown in FIG. 31. The wheels 260 are not quite touching the shell 56 at this stage so that no damage will be done to the shell.
Since the module is now resting on supports 256 and the fixture is resting via the roller mechanisms on the inside surface of the module shell, the pedestals 156 and 158 are no longer required. Thus, pedestal 158 is now detached from its supports, slid backwards, and removed completely from the area.
In order to remove the spider from the module, a roll-out table 267 is provided. As shown in FIGS. 23 and 33-35, the roll-out table is positioned opposite the access tower 198 and supported on footings 269. The table 267 comprises a pair of tracks 270 and 272 made from steel I-beams supported by a framework 274 of other beams and girders. The tracks 270 and 272 are arranged in line with the rows of wheels 260 so that the wheels will rest, roll on and be supported by the tracks when the spider is pulled out from the module. A close-up view of wheel 260 after the spider has been rolled out onto the roll-out table 267 is shown in FIG. 36. In order to ensure that the wheels 260 remain on the tracks when the fixture is rolled out, retaining ridges or flanges (not shown) can be welded along the length of the upper surface of I-beams 270 and 272.
The spider 88 is preferably pulled and rolled out from the module by means of a cable and winch mechanism although it is understood that there are various other ways in which the fixture can be removed or pulled out. If a winch is utilized, it can be positioned at the furthest end of the roll-out table away from the module or at least a point which allows the fixture to be pulled out completely from the module at one time.
Preferably the roll-out table 266 and removal winch have dual-purpose abilities as shown in FIGS. 33-35. The roll-out table is situated between two sets of similar pedestals (156, 158 and 156', 158') and used to roll out the fixtures 88 and 88' from adjacent modules when they are finished. This feature conserves space and materials at the building site. The access towers 198 and 198' on each side of the roll-out table, as well as the other features relating to each of the pedestal arrangements, are the same.
A common winch 276 is utilized for the dual-purpose roll-out table and is situated approximately in the center thereof. In order to remove one of the fixtures, such as the one shown inside the left-hand module in FIGS. 33-35, the cable 278 from the winch is passed first around a pulley mechanism 280 on the opposite removable pedestal 158' and then attracted to the fixture 88 at connection point 282. Activation of the winch 276 will then pull out the fixture from the module and roll it onto the tracks 270 and 272 on the roll-out table 266.
The common winch 276 can also be used to slide back pedestals 158 (and 158') so they can be removed from the pull-out area. Preferably, the removal of pedestals 158 and 158', as well as the placement of plate 56' on the roll-out table 80, the position of spider 88 on the plate 56', and the placement of the shell and fixture unit on the pedestal, is accomplished by the use of a large crane.
When it is necessary to remove fixture 88' from the right-hand module in FIGS. 33-35, the procedure which was used to remove fixture 88 is repeated in a similar fashion. The winch cable 278 is passed around a pulley mechanism 280' on pedestal 158 (which has been secured back in place) and then attached to fixture 88'.
It is also believed that the general principles and features of the present invention may be equally applicable to the construction of other similar generally cylindrical structures.
While it is apparent that the preferred embodiments illustrated herein are well calculated to fulfill the objects above stated, it will be appreciated that the present invention is susceptible to modification, variation and change without departing from the scope of the invention, as defined by the following claims.

The sneaky liberal media will do just about anything to promote its agenda — especially if it involves presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Recently it was reported that a Bay Area man who allegedly planned to bomb a California mosque supported Donald Trump — even though he was obviously a Hillary Clinton supporter.
William Celli, 55, was arrested Sunday "on suspicion of possessing an explosive device and making criminal threats after police received word that he expressed interest in harming Muslims," according to KPIX. Police discovered a possible homemade explosive device and the bomb squad detonated it.

Celli's arrest was cheered by the San Francisco Bay Area chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
The station also reported Celli "praised Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump whose plan to bar any Muslims from entering the United States has drawn criticism even as he continues to rise in the polls."
TRENDING: Look: Cartoon Perfectly Skewers Both Anti-Kavanaugh Crowd and Abortion Activists
It didn't take long for other left-wing outlets to run with the story. The Huffington Post was among many that emphasized Celli's alleged support of Trump, suggesting Trump was responsible for promoting bigotry.
However, what the mainstream media conveniently left out was the fact that Celli also appears to be a supporter of Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
Advertisement - story continues below
In one post, Celli wrote: "Hillary Would make a great president. If she would commit to what she is hiding. But she has to crucify the president. Then her run for the White house is over."
This omission was just another glaring example of the media distorting the truth to help push its agenda onto the American people. At this point, they have largely destroyed their credibility with these kinds of reports.

ESL Yes/No Question Games
Changing Chairs
Age/Level: Any Time: 20 minutes Players: Individual Preparation: Question cards
Aim: To write and respond to yes/no questions
This is an excellent ESL game for teaching a variety of yes/no question structures. It's guaranteed to get your students' attention.
Before you play, write a set of incomplete questions, e.g. Are you...? Have you ever...? Do you like...? Can you...? Etc. Make one copy of the incomplete questions for each student.
Give each student a copy of the incomplete questions.
Tell the students to complete each question however they want, but they should try to make questions that require a 'yes' answer.
When everyone has finished, collect all the questions from the students and put them in a bag.
Next, put the chairs in a circle.
Explain that the students have to move chairs if they would answer 'yes' to a question.
Then read out the first question from the bag, and as the students move, grab a seat and remove it from the game.
The student left standing is out of the game.
Then, repeat with the next question and so on.
The last player left is the winner.
The Ring
Age/Level: Any Time: 15 minutes Players: Individual Preparation: A ring
Aim: To practice yes/no questions
This yes/no question game can be used to practice appearance and clothing.
Choose a student to begin the game. Ask that student to step out of the classroom.
Hand a ring to one of the students in the room. All the students in the classroom should see who receives the ring.
Call the student back into the room.
The student must try to guess who has the ring by asking yes/no questions.
The student can ask up to ten yes/no questions and must ask a different classmate each time.
Student: Does a boy have the ring?
Classmate 1: Yes.
Student: Is the boy tall?
Classmate 2: Yes, he is.
Student: Does he have dark hair?
Classmate 3: No, he doesn't.
Student: Is he wearing a blue T-shirt?
Classmate 4: No, he isn't.
The student is only allowed one guess to name the person that has the ring.
If the student guesses correctly, he or she gets another turn.
If the student guesses incorrectly, the student who has the ring becomes the next player.
You can change the number of yes/no questions the player is allowed to ask, depending on the size of your class, e.g. For small class sizes, you may wish to limit the number of questions to five.
Twenty Questions
Age/Level: Elementary and above Time: 20 minutes Players: Individual Preparation: None
Aim: To guess the name of a famous person or character by asking yes/no questions
In this yes/no question game, students guess the name of a famous person or character by asking the player 20 yes/no questions. This is an imaginative speaking activity for practicing different yes/no question forms and should prove useful.
A player sits at the front of the class.
Write the name of a famous person or character on a piece of paper and give it to the player.
The other students take it in turns to ask yes/no questions to the player in order to find out his/her secret identity.
A 'yes' response from the player earns a questioner another chance to ask one more question.
When a student correctly guesses the player's identity, he or she becomes the next mystery person.
Depending on the level of your students, you may need to print or write up some example questions.
Example questions:
Are you male?
Are you a real person?
Are you an adult?
Are you alive?
Have you written a famous book?
Do you play a sport?
Are you an actor?
Do you come from England?
Do you work in Hollywood?
Do you play a musical instrument?
Are you Japanese?
Have you been on TV?
Are you a scientist?
Are you a cartoon character?
Variation: Animal, Vegetable or Mineral
For higher-level students, you may wish to play this variation. Instead of choosing a famous person or character, the player's identity is an animal, vegetable or mineral.
This game is slightly different as the first question is always 'Are you animal, vegetable or mineral?' This is the only question the students may ask, which does not require a yes or no answer.
Apart from that, the game is the same. The type of questions the students ask will depend on the first answer.
Example questions:
Can I eat you?
Are you made of plastic?
Are you heavy?
Do you have fur?
Are you green in colour?
Yes No Laugh
Age/Level: Elementary and above Time: 25 minutes Players: Individual Preparation: None
Aim: To ask and answer yes/no questions
This amusing ESL game is useful for teaching or revising yes/no questions and short answers.
Ask the students to write 10 to 15 yes/no questions. Tell the students that they will ask these questions to one another.
When they have finished writing their questions, write the words, Yes, No, and Laugh on the board. Then cross them out.
Make a scoreboard for the game. Draw a happy face for the 'winners' and a sad face for the 'losers'.
Seat the students in a horseshoe shape and put a chair in the middle facing the horseshoe.
Explain that you are going to sit in the chair for one minute. During that time, the students ask you questions going from one end of the horseshoe to the other.
The students' job is to ask you questions that will make you use the words 'yes', 'no' or to make you laugh.
Your job is to answer the questions without saying yes or no. Smiling is allowed, but not laughing!
Student: Are you happy?
Teacher: I am.
Next student: Do you have a car?
Teacher: I don't.
Next student: Do you like Vietnam?
Teacher: Sure, I love it!
Next student: Can you play football?
Teacher: A little
Next student: Can you say yes?
Teacher: No. Ah!
The teacher has lost the game. He/She then writes his/her name under the sad face.
In turn, each student sits in the chair and tries to survive for one minute without saying yes or no or laughing.
If a player can survive one minute, write their name under the happy face.
Age/Level: Any Time: 10 minutes Players: Individual Preparation: None
Aim: To ask and answer yes/no questions
This ESL game is great for teaching yes/no questions and short answers.
First, review the question and answer form that you want the students to ask.
Tell all the students to close their eyes.
Walk round the class and touch one student on the shoulder. That student has the virus.
Now, ask the students to open their eyes.
The students now go round the room asking questions, e.g. Can you...?
The students must answer positively, e.g. Yes, I can.
The student with the virus must answer negatively, e.g. No, I can't.
Any student, who asks the student with the virus a question gets the virus and must also answer negatively, e.g. No, I can't.
The aim of the game is to avoid catching the virus.
Play the game for ten minutes and see who has survived.

Tim and Tausch in the MorningTim & Tausch in the Morning! Ep 34 - Back Baby... BackSeptember 10, 2018
Steve "Sparky" Fifer
Weekdays 2:00pm - 6:00pm
Steve "Sparky" Fifer started out his career in radio in Kenosha, WI interning for Tim Allen and helping to produce a weekend sports talk show for Tim Allen and John Weiser. After a couple of months of interning, he was put on the payroll and started jocking oldies at night on the AM station while engineering high school football and basketball games during the week. During this time he attended Gateway Technical College for Radio Broadcasting, while maintaing two other jobs outside of his radio gig.
After ownership changed, he left to go to Lake Geneva to try his hand in sales. After three months of making every attempt, he didn't make one sale!! Management figured out they made a mistake and made him the morning show producer. While in that role he broke out as an on-air personality by playing the character "Stuttering" Stu Michaels. Sparky used that momentum to cruise into Milwaukee radio a short time later. He landed a gig at WISN-AM as producer of The World's Greatest Sports Talk Show, staying in that role for 6 years.
When WSSP launched in 2005, Sparky joined the roster. One of the most busy personalities on the station, you can hear him on The Big Show(Weekday Afternoons 2-6pm), Sparky's Final Inspection (Saturdays 12p-2p), Milwaukee's Real Basketball Post Game Show (after Bucks games)and the Usinger's Baseball Post Game Show (after Brewers games). When he's not on the air, you can catch the avid NASCAR fan following the exploits of his favorite driver, Kevin Harvick.
