I wrote at length yesterday about the poor quality of the bubble and how several teams are failing to meet even minimum standards of success.  Some of those teams are still in the bracket this morning, most notably Florida, which at only 17-14 is the last team in the field.

Multiple times in the last couple weeks this has happened. Typos, grammar errors and now walls of text? HaD really doesn’t care about at least having the appearance of a good staff of writers, does it?

Hey guys, I was thinking about building a HIGH POWER PVC AIR CANNON, and wondered if anyone had any advice about safety considerations?

Keep in mind that you’re grinding the tip of your drill bit, meaning a coating like black oxide or titanium is going to come off. It won’t affect the entire bit, just the tip. Bits that have material blended with the steel, like cobalt, won’t be affected like a coating.

Dallas heavyweight Shawn Henniger concluded his career with 90 wins, while Lake-Lehman 220-pounder T.J. Meehan walked out of Giant Center with 65 wins in three seasons wrestling varsity.

No matter where he plays, Yates is just happy for the opportunity to be on the ice with the Penguins.

Meanwhile, a foot injury cost Stevens nearly all of 2018, keeping him in a boot during spring practice and training camp, forcing him out of the first four games of the season and limiting his effectiveness when he did return after that. He underwent surgery in December and missed the bowl game as well.

The period that particularly excites Hudson’s passion is the Bronze Age (about 2,500BC) in ancient Sumer, Mesopotamia and Babylon. This era is not well known to most people since about the only things that have survived are ruins and tablets with cuneiform script. Yet echoes still exist: the Statue of Liberty, for example, reflects the Babylonian practice of emperors holding up a torch when they made a proclamation. The inscription around the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia — “Proclaim Liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof” — also harks back to Babylon. Hudson explains why the phrase has particular significance: “liberty”, he says, does not simply refer to the abstract idea of freedom but to another idea — debt forgiveness.

Over the past few years, there has been a rash of catastrophic fires in multiple dwellings of lightweight wood-frame construction that had fully operational NFPA 13R life safety sprinkler systems.1 The most significant deficiency of 13R sprinkler systems is that there is no requirement to install sprinkler heads in concealed spaces such as attics and interstitial space between the ceilings and floors. Attics in modern wood-frame and ordinary constructed multiple dwellings are typically a “lumberyard” of lightweight engineered wood trusses supporting plywood or oriented strand board sheathing. When firefighters encounter a fire that originates in or spreads to the attic, they are very dependent on the presence and integrity of fire-rated barriers to keep a fire from taking possession of the roof assembly. Floors in modern multiple dwellings are commonly supported by lightweight parallel chord trusses that result in a substantial void space between ceilings and floors. This “truss loft” between floors and ceilings allows a fire to extend horizontally throughout the entire floor unless it is stopped by aggressive firefighters or fire-rated barriers (photo 6). Because of the rapid, unimpeded fire spread in truss voids of these floor assemblies, some fire officers consider them the “balloon frame construction of the 21st century.” Fire officials should make every effort to mandate the installation of a fully compliant NFPA sprinkler system in new multiresidential construction, which requires the installation of sprinklers in combustible concealed spaces such as the attic and floor truss voids (photo 7).

If price and flexibility are important factors in your decision, then a third-party extended warranty may be the route to take.

Like many Pennsylvanians, I have been watching with great interest the debate surrounding the future of nuclear power. Proposed legislation currently circulating within the Pennsylvania General Assembly would require electric utilities to purchase as much […]

That mattered little to Bavaro, the soft-spoken but bone-crunching end who was regarded as one of the toughest players — not just at his position, but among all players — during his time in the NFL. He delivered crushing blows to defensive ends and outside linebackers when the ball was handed off to one of his teammates or when he was assigned pass protection duties.
