Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

      I have the impression the left part of the dam is going to give away, most likely half of the water will be dumped.
      They are expecting dry weather for couple days but it is going to be rain for many days in a row starting mid week.
      You can see how soft is that red dirt part on the left. What was build as a secondary prevention measure is going to be the cause.

        3 tries to log in and I made no mistakes on first 2 attempts ... What a jerk act.
        Now to the post.
        I had a couple of friends that worked on building the Orville damn and related constructions.
        I was told the construction company or a construction company bought more than a million $$$ worth of copper pipe that was charged to govt but never used. The company put the copper pipes at the bottom of the reservoir before it was filled and became a lake. My friends and I never had the resources to salvage the copper but we knew where it's at.
        If my memory is correct, it was Peter Kewit (sp) construction company.
        Millions of dollars of copper buried so company could charge for it. That's standard American big business.
        You and I paid for that.
        The copper is still there, under hundreds of feet of water.

          Only when dealing with useless government entities. Plenty of tax payer's $ to waste, non-stop.
          I suppose, when you have a currency that is used as THE peg and Quantitative Easing (distribute as you please) doesn't effect one's economy, might as well spend spend spend.

              Once again it took 3 tries to log in. Each attempt said I have used zero of 5 tries. Still a phony jerk act.
              Now to the post.
              From the time I was 15 to about 24, I hung around with men 15 years or more senior. My two friends, now both deceased were truck drivers on the feather river project. Feather river project was what the Orville damn project was generally referred to.

                They worked as fast they can, but nothing major was fixed in the couple days they had with dry weather.
                Now they are going to get the motherload of all weathers in rain. In perspective, 4x more precipitations of what they got last time that damaged the dam.



                With five overlapping weather forecast rainfall models, a full 3-5 inches of precipitation will fall in the drainage basin of the Oroville Dam, which will ra...
