  • Water Quality 1 Executive Summary
    Confidential Yes No TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM Water Quality Water Treatment Facilities and Water Resources Master Plan TO: City of Ann Arbor FROM: CH2M HILL DATE: May 2006 1 Executive Summary The water quality task looked at water quality and monitoring practices in the Huron River and groundwater. The objectives of the water quality task are to: • Make recommendations for dealing with sulfate and 1,4-dioxane in groundwater • Make recommendations for monitoring and improving water quality in Barton Pond and groundwater 1.1 1,4-Dioxane 1,4-Dioxane is a potential human carcinogen and has been found in some Ann Arbor groundwater aquifers in the City of Ann Arbor. One of the aquifers where 1,4-dioxane has been detected contains one of the City’s drinking water supply wells. 1,4-Dioxane has been measured at low levels in the City’s well. Subsequent to detection, this well has been taken out of service. A review of treatment technologies for removal of 1,4-dioxane from water indicated that a combination of ultraviolet (UV) light and hydrogen peroxide may be effective. Removal of 1,4-dioxane at the water plant with existing treatment processes was also reviewed. Based on published literature, it was not anticipated that the existing treatment processes would achieve a high degree of 1,4-dioxane removal. Bench scale tests using Ann Arbor raw water spiked with 1,4-dioxane indicated that only moderate removal (about 40 to 70 percent) could be achieved through all the current water treatment processes. To achieve a high degree of removal (90 to 99 percent), additional processes, such as UV light and hydrogen peroxide, would be needed.

  • Walkthrough 2018 Version: Gog 1.0B Hotfix1
    Walkthrough 2018 Version: GoG 1.0b_hotfix1 Party creation and Game Mechanics The party may contain up to six characters. I played with four, and don’t see the need for any more than that. Fewer characters get more XPs for each fight, and learn skills quicker. My party had no problems during the game. (I also had some dummy characters, used for storing excess items which I couldn’t or didn’t want to sell or drop. These were moved from town to town as needed.) The way the game is constructed it’s an advantage, actually a necessity, to change classes frequently. Most traits are taught by the different guilds, and some traits only taught to high-guild-level members, hence ideally all characters should be member of all guilds and do all quests to advance as far as possible. Note that even though a skill once learned can be advanced irrespectively of current class, this does not apply to magic skills. If you change to a class that cannot learn a spell book, spells from that book will be very costly to learn, as you need twice the normal skill level to learn spells. (E.g. a Paladin former priest will need a skill level of eight to learn level four Vine spells). An exception is the Warlock class which can learn any spells from known spell books at actual cost. The general advice here is to learn all the spells you need from one class, then change class, as acquiring new skills and spells at level up takes much longer once past about level 13 or 14 or thereabouts.

  • Location, Location, Location by Pam Horack Page 15
    Nancy Drew: Location, Location, Location by Pam Horack Page 15 Nancy’s World (to me) In real estate, the mantra is “Location, Location, Location”. As in a story, the right setting can be an effective plot device and can be used to evoke specific feelings. The Nancy Drew books often used a location to create the backdrop for the mysterious and adventurous. As a child, I was able to use my grandparents’ home as a true reference for many of the Nancy Drew settings, thus bringing the stories to life and turning me into Nancy Drew Green’s Folly, located in Halifax County, Virginia, was home to my maternal grandparents. As my mother was raised there, our family visited frequently. The estate has served many functions through the years: county courthouse, a racetrack, a farm, and currently an 18-hole golf course, which was originally developed by my grandfather, John G. Patterson, Jr. As a child with a vivid imagination, my senses were aroused by mysterious features of the old home. This was the world of my childhood and it made a natural location for many of my adventures with Nancy Drew. As many of the Nancy Drew stories involved large old estates, my mind easily substituted the real world for the fictitious. There seemed to be too many coincidences and similarities for it to be otherwise. I found my imagination using Green’s Folly as the backdrop for the following stories: 1. The Hidden Staircase 2. The Mystery at Lilac Inn 3. The Sign of the Twisted Candles 4.

  • New Secret Door Kits from Rockler
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Lorilee Torrey Phone: (541) 552-1133 Email: [email protected] NEW SECRET DOOR KITS FROM ROCKLER Kits Make Easy-to-Build Secret Passage Doors That Replace Existing Doors with Functional Bookshelves MEDINA, MN (April 10, 2013) - Rockler Woodworking and Hardware has just introduced Secret Door Kits to its product line. The new Secret Door Kits allow users to convert a doorway into a secret passage or a closet into a secret storage space by the construction of a bookcase that fits the door space and which then functions as a hidden door. The bookcase can be used for display or storage purposes, as the hardware is designed to allow the bookcase to slide open without disturbing the items on the shelves. The result is a fully functional bookcase which conceals the room or closet behind it and allows secret access by pulling on the fixed shelves to slide it open. "We've all seen movies where bookcases impressively transform into secret passages," says Scott Ekman, Vice President of the Marketing Department. "The Secret Door Kits turn that clever idea into reality. Now people can build secret passages in their own home and experience a little bit of Hollywood magic as well as additional concealed storage anytime they want. As a bonus, the bookcase provides extra storage space." The Secret Door Kits are comprised of all the necessary components to construct a secret bookcase door, including all of the wood and hardware used to install the structure. The Secret Door Hardware allows the bookcase to open like a door and also provides secure mounting to the door frame or wall surface, depending on the specific kit.

The passing bells rung, beckoning over the small town. It was in a wreck, the engines of busses groaned, solitude was spreading rapidly around the park. Only a few people would go on holiday there- one of those being Anna. She was a young lady with dark brown locks stroking her pale white neck. Her hair was in plaits and she was sitting down in an uncomfortable dress her mother had sewn. The park bench was cold and its ebony black paint was peeling off slowly, softly, sadly. The ducks from the pond were long gone. Mostly shot for food since the whole town was running low on money and supplies. Tiredly, Anna ate her sandwich and watched pigeons fly by and land near to her bench. Anna had been staying in one of her father’s houses for the past week and she had loved it. Anna didn’t really get on with people so some peace and quiet was like paradise for her. Of course, coming from a rich family, Anna had lots of luxuries including: living in a mansion with many maids and servants, having one of the largest boats in England named after her, a five acre garden and thirteen dogs.

  • An Alternative Explanation of the Royal and Select Master Degrees
    An Alternative Explanation of the Royal and Select Master Degrees by Sir Knight Gene Fricks The legends behind the ritual of the Royal and Select Masters degrees are among those with only a vague basis in biblical antecedents. Unlike the legend of Hiram and the building of the first temple or that of Zerubabbel and the second temple, we have only a passing mention of Adoniram as the first overseer of King Solomon and a listing of Solomon's chief officers in I Kings 4:4. We do not find the secret passageway or the nine arches described in the II Kings story of the temple's construction. Recognizing that the writers of the original rituals were men steeped in classical learning, we should look elsewhere for the source of this story. I suggest that the writings of the 15th century Arab historian, Mudjir ad-Din, may have been that source. What prompted this thought was the celebration of the 3000th anniversary of Jerusalem several years ago and the renewed interest in its ruins that the commemoration sparked. Let us review some of Jerusalem's history after the Roman destruction of Herod's Temple in 70 A.D. to set some background. Titus and his son Vespasian conquered Jerusalem after a long and bloody siege. Determined to bring the recalcitrant Jews to heel, the Roman 10th Legion, left to garrison the city, were ordered to level the temple down to its foundations. What we see today in Jerusalem is the temple mount platform upon which the temple sat, all that remains of Herod's imposing construction project.

    CHRONICLES OF LERIDIA A HELP GUIDE FOR THE SAINT AND DEVIANT PATHS (version 0.3.4) by Manifold You probably won’t need the help guide after a certain point. This game is not your usual mind- fuck blue-ball nightmare. Read the first few pages for tips, use it eventually as a help guide for the early game, and you should be fine afterwards. Warning: it can get you into spoiler zone. CTRL+F for keyword search. Pick and choose what you need as you move along with the game. If you can’t find an answer, you can always help me complete this help guide! BASIC RULES -Play with your keyboard, NOT the mouse. Sylia will make you develop amazing and unbeknownst one-handed keyboard skills, rest assure! -Always remember the SHIFT+ENTER option when talking to characters, or you feel you’re stuck calling any kind of object or entrance. -CTRL: dialogue panels on/off -Be sure to constantly save, increment and test-play. It’s a player-friendly game, some warnings ahead, no bullshit surprise bad endings, etc. But there are many non-repeatable scenes with sex content, and most perverted monsters become unavailable as the game moves on. -The game is quest-based. This help guide as well. Don’t feel stuck if you feel you can’t go further on a particular quest. Moving on other available quests will unlock the event you might be looking for. -There are three different times of day (day, evening and night). In the villages and the Masa Hot Springs, try evening/night if you can’t find something.
