construction%22+roof+design&hl=en&ie=UTF-8
McLain, who participated in construction of the Louisiana Superdome in the mid-1970s for Hunt Construction, said the supertrusses and design of the roof system are unique. "It's a much more lightweight structure for a roof system than you would typically see on an arena like this," he added. "In many ways, this structure resembles the Superdome and, even before that, the Astrodome.
"And even though the roof structures for those facilities are obviously much larger than this arena - I can still remember the area of the Superdome roof covers nine acres - the similarities are there. The major difference here is the weight. With Walter P. Moore's design, those steel supercolumns and supertrusses allow for a much more lightweight roof, which translates into many things, including reduced construction costs."
"I thought it was , pumped a lot of "PAIN.
ie;drugs"
It does sound exactly like pain or pane, doesn't it? I'm not sure how pain stands for drugs. Now 'cain could be for cocaine, but 'cain doesn't sound quite right either. There HAS to be some official lyrics online somewhere, but I haven't been able to find them yet... lol
I'm not in a position to assess Shep's preferences. :)
CNN showing a long line of cars on the interstate moving slowly away from NO. Right now Katrina is moving faster than the vehicles are.
Wow. Hellstorm.
Something he said was very telling, "Just because a structure is large and heavy does not make it safe-sometimes, the bigger they are the harder they fall. Nature is stronger than the ideas and buildings of men".
mmmm... sweet and salty together... brings back fond childhood memories of popcorn and chocolate in movie theaters. :)
Scary!
Looks like a black hole.
We used to call it the 'Upside-down Adventure'
Sorry about your Business man and a seaplane to boot thats one of the greatest thrills to land and take off from the water I love it
The FOX weather girl, Janice Dean..looks/sounds like she's having an on/air depression. It's affecting her...
Is that what happened in the movie? I saw about 15 minutes of it and didn't finish. I wanted to, but didn't have the space. I only remembered storms disrupting supplies + terror attacks.
When did Bill make his way onto Foxnews?
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan, Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan, Got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home, Oh, well, oh, well, oh, well.
Don't it make you feel bad When you're tryin' to find your way home, You don't know which way to go? If you're goin' down South They got no work to do, If you don't know about Chicago.
Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good, Now, cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good, When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move.
All last night sat on the levee and moaned, All last night sat on the levee and moaned, Thinkin' about me baby and my happy home. Going, going to Chicago... Going to Chicago... Sorry but I can't take you... Going down... going down now... going down....
