Evacuate!
2008-10-20 09:44:00 This past weekend I was on a layover in Seattle, peacefully sleeping in my bed. All of a sudden, I heard a piercing noise. The fire alarm was going off! I looked out the window and saw poeple scrambling to the parking lot. This hotel is known for false alarms, however, to be on the safe side I decided to evacuate, too. The problem was, “Should I change clothes first?” I looked down at my Tinkerbell night shirt and wished that I had packed my Gap pjs instead. The only other clothes I had was my uniform or t-shirt & shorts. Did I mention it was in the lower 50s outside? I decided that the t-shirt was the best option especially since I was bound to see my other crew members down there and the last thing I wanted was to subject myself to unmerciless teasing. So, I ran downstairs in my tee & shrots, wrapped in a blanket, and clutching my laptop. I still got teased. Later we found out that the alarm was triggered by someone smoking in the stairwell. Arrgghh! If you ha...

2008-05-31 10:20:00 Autore: Ultime Notizie Agenzia di pubblicità Oggetto: Terremoto in Cina, evacuate 200mila persone nello Sichuan Inviato: Sab Mag 31, 2008 7:20 pm (GMT 11) Le frane causate dal sisma del 12 maggio hanno trattenuto una quantità spaventosa di acqua. La zona interessata e' quella delle aree vicine al lago di Tangjianshan, formato dalle frane provocate dal terremoto del 12 maggio. Il bilancio ancora provvisorio del sisma è di 68.858 vittime e 18.618 dispersi. Superstiti, soccorsi, opere di ricostruzione potrebbero essere spazzati via in un lampo se si rompessero gli argini del lago che contiene oltre 150 milioni di metri cubi d'acqua (sufficiente a riempire 50.000 piscine olimpioniche). Centinaia tra soldati e ingegneri hanno lavorato per creare un canale che consenta di svuotare gradualmente il bacino e hanno piazzato la dinamite che farà saltare in aria la barriera. I soldati dell'Esercito di Liberazione Popolare continuano intanto a lavorare sulla diga naturale formata dai detrit...

exit evacuate exodus escape & now, EXCELLENT
2008-02-08 19:59:00 This is my favorite t-shirt; I've had it for years. It's really a woobie.I haven't quite figured out how to use my new tripod & focus. My camera outwits me every time.I bought it when I was pregnant with Miss Lexi, although we just called her the 'bean' back then so really, I looked more like this:Isn't my hair scrunchilicious today? Don't judge. Fine. I cannot tell a lie. That's extra padding, folks. When I went into labor on a Friday, we whispered 'Exit, Evacuate, Enter our world' as I walked around the hospital and then the mall. By Saturday, I begged for Exoneration and perhaps, an Escape. By Sunday, the 'E' on my bosom stood for Elation & Ecstasy when we heard: 'It's a girl!'*****My favorite Bad Mom and Daisy have awarded my humble blog with a mighty E for Excellent! I couldn't be more pleased. I'll wear it with pride, ladies. I'll wear it with pride. *****And my blog has officially hatched too. Thank you, kindly, Bradley.(I have some awards to dole o...

Chinese flooding affects 15 million, half a million people evacuated safely
2007-07-09 05:30:00 Stories that scream disaster often ignore the good part of the story. And todays’ unreported “good” story is that the Yangtze has had one of it’s periodic floods, and only a handful of people died.. “Good” Story? Well, you have to put it into perspective. For example, everyone in the world knows about New Orleans and Katrina, but ignores that over one million people were evacuated safely and found shelter with relatives, friends, and government facilities. Similarly, the headline says: 94 dead, 25 missing in China floods (Xinhua) Updated: 2007-07-09 08:39 Floods have left 94 people dead and 25 others missing in seven provinces in China, a spokesman with the Ministry of Civil Affairs said on Sunday.

McDonald's Evacuated After Workers Create Toxic Fumes
2007-06-08 06:25:00 A McDonald's restaurant in Brevard County was evacuated Monday night after several workers were overcome by toxic fumes. Firefighters and HAZ-MAT crews were called to the restaurant on US-1 in Port St. John after the workers started having trouble breathing. Firefighters quickly found the source of the fumes. "We poured kitty litter back behind the fry mat and, apparently, you're not supposed to do that because it makes toxic fumes when it gets heated up. It gets toxic and a lot of people were going home sick," said Matt Hoff, an employee. The workers were using the kitty litter to clean up grease.

Green Building Elements: Evacuated Solar Tubes
2007-06-04 17:47:00 Photo Credit: Silicon Solar Inc.We are pretty familiar with most of the ways solar energy is collected. There are photovoltaic panels (PV) which directly convert sunlight into electricity. Solar hot water systems are another widely known system. Water circulates through a series of tubes or through a pipe to be heated by sunlight. And solar concentrators use mirrors to focus sunlight on a narrow area, either for direct heating, or to boil water to make steam for electrical generating purposes. Evacuated tube heaters are another method of collecting solar energy. Rather than running the water through a long circuitous course, each tube is a separate heat collector. It is made of a clear glass cylinder which allows sunlight to pass through, and a central heat collector tube. The evacuated tube insulates the collector element, which makes it more efficient in colder environments. The collector itself is typically filled with an antifreeze mix rather than just water. The top of...
