Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

The Frederick County, Maryland, councilman's name was published Tuesday in newspapers, websites, news and opinion blogs and seemingly every corner of the Internet after he threatened to sue his local newspaper if it dared to publish his name without his permission.

"Use my name again unauthorized and you'll be paying for an attorney," the Republican official told a Frederick News-Post reporter in a Facebook post.

The paper responded by ridiculing his demand.

"I just don't know how to respond to a request that stupid," Terry Headlee, managing editor of the 33,000 daily circulation newspaper, told The Associated Press on Tuesday in a telephone interview.

The News-Post did respond by posting an advance look at its Sunday editorial on the newspaper's website. It pointed out that Delauter's demand ignores, among other things, the First Amendment right of a free press.

But the newspaper could not resist mining the rich opportunities for sarcasm that Delauter's demand offered.

There was the editorial's headline: "Kirby Delauter, Kirby Delauter, Kirby Delauter."

And the body of the editorial, describing the laughter that his demand provoked and exploring the ways The News-Post might henceforth refer to Delauter without using his name. Perhaps "K---- D-------." Or "Councilman (Unauthorized)."

Capping it off, the first letter of each paragraph spelled out: K-I-R-B-Y-D-E-L-A-U-T-E-R.

The 2014/15 season has been a miserable one for Brendan Rodgers. HisLiverpool side has floundered in the Premier League, perhaps due to the added pressure of European competition.

The Reds currently sit eighth in the Premier League table, seven points behind fourth-placed Southampton, and a shake-up in personnel this January would be advised to improve the side's failing form.

How would Liverpool's ideal January transfer window play out?

Here we discuss the perfect outcome of what could well be a hectic month of business for Rodgers' side.

Rodgers' Transfer Strategy

In recent Rodgers press conferences, two intriguing soundbites have surfaced on Liverpool's upcoming transfer strategy.

The first, that January would be a quiet transfer window for the club, is relayed by the Liverpool Echo's James Pearce:

Whether this news is to be taken with a pinch of salt, however, could be determined by Rodgers' further comments on the value of the January window:

This is a bemusing concession. Liverpool's 2012/13 season was given a formidable boost when Rodgers signed midfielder Philippe Coutinho and striker Daniel Sturridge in January 2013, both of whom are now considered key players at Anfield.

Liverpool: Outlining an Ideal January Transfer Window for Brendan Rodgers' Reds

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) January 06, 2015

Gas Monkey Garage, owned and operated by Richard Rawlings and home to the Discovery Channels top rated international series Fast N Loud, has gone since conception without air conditioning. For over a decade, the Gas Monkey Garage crew known as The Monkeys, led by motor master Richard Rawlings and mechanic master Aaron Kaufman, has worked in the heat restoring hot rods and classic rides in the now world-famous garage. The garage is located in Dallas, which is home to the infamous scorching Texas heat. The Discovery Channels production crew, Pilgrim Productions, started filming at Gas Monkey Garage over three years ago and have also been dealing with the heat ever since. As of August 2014, A#1 Air changed all of that.

Rawlings contacted James and Sherry Green, owners and operators of A#1 Air because of their long-standing reputation as Dallas most trusted HVAC provider. Rawlings requested air conditioning for Gas Monkey Garage, believing it to be a simple job. It turned out to be much more.

The first step was engineering a retrofit and adding various structural enhancements onto Gas Monkey Garages 15,000 square foot facility. Before putting a total of eight Daikin air conditioning units on the rooftop, a team of engineers and welders were brought in to install I-Beam Suspension. This allowed the units to be secured and supported on the roof, enabling A#1 Air to produce 80 tons of cooling capacity.

Once the support structure was in place, the use of cranes and many experienced A#1 Air HVAC technicians were needed to properly place and secure the air conditioning units on the rooftop and begin installation. In addition to traditional ductwork, A#1 Air also installed DuctSox, a fabric material attached to the supply air plenum to help evenly distribute air throughout the garage.

A#1 Air also had to create solutions for the buildings electrical supply. The facility was operating on a 240/120-volt electrical system that was simply not powerful enough to handle the new, incoming air conditioning load. A#1 Air Electric had to fully engineer a conversion in order to increase power to 480-volts and enhance utility efficiencies for all electrical systems being utilized in the garage and offices.

A new main distribution panel had to be designed and installed, as well as new feeder conduits to each of the eight air conditioning units, along with a step down transformer. The transformer was needed to redistribute the existing 240-volt panel that was supporting existing lights and plugs, saving Gas Monkey Garage and its offices from having to be completely rewired.

Another issue that had to be solved was where condensation from the units would drain. The solution, provided by A#1 Air Plumbing, involved soldering copper tubing to connect to every air conditioning unit in order to divert condensation from the units to a sanitary location. These connections required cutting into the concrete flooring in Gas Monkey Garage in order to remove a section and gain access to the sewer line underneath the floor. The copper tubing connected to the rooftop units were met with more copper tubing that was then installed along the top of the roof and penetrated down into the building. The tubing terminates at the floor where a code required hub drain was added in order to comply with city and state regulations.

Once everything was in place, start up and testing of the air conditioning units took place. The Monkeys and the film crew began to cool off. Gas Monkey Garage started sharing images on their social channels of the before and after temperatures in the garage while Rawlings joked about having to keep The Monkeys working because they were so cool and comfortable. He advised them they still better sweat from labor!

Unfortunately, another issue arose of a serious matter. Just a couple of short weeks after the units were installed and the cool was being enjoyed, Rawlings communicated to The Greens that thieves were trying to steal copper and other materials off the rooftop units. He requested A#1 Air Security put theft proof cages around them.
