UPDATE Just after 1:00 pm an alarm in the Chlorine Room of the Maple Ridge Leisure Centre sounded alerting the pool staff that chlorine gas levels were above normal levels. The Chlorine Room is located on the outside of the building and isolated from the public areas of the Leisure Centre facility. Leisure Centre Staff immediately contacted the Maple Ridge Fire Department. As a precaution, staff conducted an orderly evacuation of the building allowing patrons to obtain personal belongings. The entire facility, including the pool, fitness centre and youth centre was completely cleared within 10 minutes. The Maple Ridge Fire Department arrived within a few minutes and followed Hazardous material (Hazmat) protocols around the Chlorine Room. In addition, Firefighters assisted staff in doing a final sweep of the entire facility to ensure that no one remained in the building. The preliminary assessment was that there was a minor leak in the Chlorine service conduit, and the Fire department, working with Leisure Centre staff, isolated the Chlorine system, purged the conduit and stayed on site until the gas levels Chlorine Room were zero. The automatic Chlorination system has been shut down and manual water testing and chlorination will be used until the main system has been examined by a technician early next week. At no time did the gas get into any public areas. At no time was there any health risk to patrons, first responders or District staff due to the fast implementation of all safety procedures and protocols. The Fire Department and District staff would like to thank all of the people that were in the facility at the time of the incident for their cooperation and understanding during the orderly evacuation. Patrons affected by the evacuation were given a complimentary pass for the facility. The facility has now reopened to the public.

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the debut edition of The Green Room on Lordsofpain.net. My name is Leaf and I am the winner of the Voice competition that was contested in the Columns Forum earlier this year.

On that note, I strongly urge you to consider entering the latest competition: The LOP Grand Prix. This contest is purely for fun so if you wish to give column-writing a try, this is the perfect platform to do so. The rules for the contest can be found HERE. I will be one of five judges for the event so I will personally look forward to any new entrants wishing to take part.

Plugs aside, I think we are all set to enter The Green Room, a magical place in which we pull up a chair and thoroughly analyse a given topic. With a new WWE World Heavyweight Champion set to be crowned at WWE Money In The Bank this Sunday, I figured we would sit down with our eight championship contenders and play a very special game of the board-game Snakes and Ladders. I never thought that I would type that sentence.

With that being said, lets find out which of our eight men will slide down a slippery snake and which will have a chance to climb a ladder of greatness.

Im always wary of last-minute additions. The last minute addition of Kane tells me that he was never in line to win the match. This is a different situation than Dean Ambrose in the contract match as the other competitors for that match were announced on the same night that he was later inserted.

As seen during Smackdowns conclusion, the Big Red Machine truly has been added for storyline purposes. He assisted Randy Orton in climbing a ladder, proving that he will be aiding the Viper on Sunday. That is not a bad thing, it actually makes perfect booking sense. Triple H handed Orton a slot in the match, then Roman Reigns found his way in. To counteract that, the Game added The Big Red Monster. Kane is the necessary insurance policy.

The only possibility of Kane winning the match on Sunday would be if he went rogue. He is a monster after all. However, unless Orton defeats Kane for the championship between now and when Bryan returns, I dont see how an altered face vs. face match between Bryan and Kane would work considering their interactions throughout the Authority storyline. Wouldnt you just cut out the middle-man and have Orton win the match, rather than play out that scenario? The WWE wouldnt benefit from a sudden face turn and title reign for the 47-year old Glenn Jacobs.

I like the addition of Kane in this match. He is aligned with the Authority and he was previously set to be the #1 Contender for Bryans title. As demonstrated though, he wont be winning this match.

Maine Township High School District 207 officials are planning to build a $9.3 million addition to the existing spectator gym at Maine West High School in Des Plaines.

George LeClaire | Staff Photographer

Maine Township High School District 207 is planning to build a $9.3 million, 23,000-square-foot addition to the existing gym at Maine West in Des Plaines that would include locker rooms, a weight room and wrestling room.

It would bring those athletic amenities out of the basement of Maine West's spectator gym. But it stops short of something many around Maine West have long sought, and something Maine East and Maine South already have: a field house.

Such a project would take up a larger footprint to make room for an indoor track, which is staying put for now in Maine West's basement. The biggest obstacle to making it a reality, district officials say, has been finding the money to pay for it.

"It's a thought," said Dave Beery, the district's spokesman. "The proposal here is to construct an expansion in such a way that if a (school) board at some future date wanted to add a field house, it could do so. It would work with this expansion. But the district does not have the financial resources to do a field house at this point."

At a meeting of the board's buildings and grounds committee in May, Maine West Athletic Director Jarett Kirshner asked committee members to consider the addition of a field house. Board member Sean Sullivan "expressed flexibility in having a field house" since all district facilities should be "comparable and equitable," according to meeting minutes.

A smaller-scale gym addition, as proposed, could be funded without borrowing or raising taxes through the district's budgeted 10-year capital improvement plan. In its second year, the plan has focused on upgrades to each of the district's schools, including window replacements, roof repairs and improvements to electrical, mechanical, plumbing, heating and cooling systems.

The Maine West gym addition would be one of the largest and most expensive projects in the 10-year plan -- and the only one involving new construction, Beery said.

East Hampton, NY (PRWEB) June 25, 2014

The East Hampton Library hosted a Grand Opening Celebration for their New Childrens Addition on Saturday, June 21. More than 500 people were in attendance for the ribbon cutting ceremony, including actor Alec Baldwin (with wife Hilaria and daughter Carmen). Baldwin donated $1.275 million to the East Hampton Library for the construction of the addition, which features the state of the art Baldwin Family Lecture Room on its lower floor.

The opening ceremony was held on the Library grounds, followed by a ribbon cutting, tours of the New Addition, refreshments, and entertainment for children. The ceremony featured speeches by the Librarys Board of Managers; special proclamations from elected public officials; the announcement of the winning entries in the Librarys writing and drawing contest; the placement of special items into a time capsule; and music by the East Hampton Middle Schools all-girl chorus, The Bonnettes.

ABOUT THE NEW CHILDRENS ADDITION The New Childrens Addition at the East Hampton Library adds 6,800 square-feet to the existing Library. Constructed by Ben Krupinski Builder, the addition was designed by noted architect Robert A.M. Stern Architects (RAMSA), and features a Childrens Reading Room on the main floor, with interior design and environmental graphics by Lee H. Skolnick Architecture + Design Partnership (LHS+DP).

For children, the expansive new main floor space (approximately 4,000 square-feet) allows for the addition of 10,000 more childrens books, new computers and technology, ample seating, dedicated areas for toddlers and teens, and other age-appropriate improvements. The whimsical interior design and graphics are informed by the historic architecture of the existing building and the nautical heritage of the surrounding seaside community. Interpretive design elements by LHS+DP include tall, blinking lighthouses, a large windmill with shelves and seating, and a boat-shaped Librarians information desk. As with the Librarys 1997 addition, the architectural style of the new addition by RAMSA blends seamlessly with the original structure.

The high-ceilinged lower level floor features the state-of-the-art Baldwin Family Lecture Room, providing space for community programs, meetings, film screenings, readings, lectures, and book events. A partnership with the New York Public Library will allow for live streaming of that institutions programs, as well as others from around the world. The spacious lower level gallery-style lobby features lit wall exhibition space for art displays, leading to the Librarys new book sale and storage room.

The addition has allowed for other improvements in the Librarys existing spaces including painting, new carpets, new DVD and CD shelving and updates to the HVAC system. The installation of the new second elevator now makes the entire Library handicapped accessible. Sixteen new parking spaces have also been added to the Librarys parking area and beautiful new landscaping features, including a charming childrens secret garden with imaginative topiary plantings, designed and installed by Marders, add to the smoothly unified integration of the new and existing spaces.

In one room, a group of adults met for its weekly Bible study class. In another room, two young girls were attending Sunday school class with their two teachers. Next door, was an empty room waiting to be filled with people and their singing voices for choir practice.

Holy Trinity Presbyterian Church, with the help of its parishioners and a business next door that donated land, has added four additional rooms to its facility, as well as a new roof, new color to the building, and landscaping.

On Sunday, the church celebrated the five-month process with a dedication and party following its morning service.

Holy Trinity Presbyterian Church is at 19251 N Tamiami Trail. Sunday services are held at 10:25 a.m..

Dr. Valerie Bell, Holy Trinity pastor, said the addition was necessary for the church to expand its religious offerings.

"It seemed like God was telling us that this was what we needed to do. The Dollar Store started construction 18 months ago and they asked us if we needed 1.5 of the three acres they had," Bell said. "We put in the rooms in anticipation of building a new sanctuary."

Construction began in February, with the project costing about a quarter-million dollars, which was raised by its 160 congregation members, friends and affiliates.

Bill Balentine, of Cape Coral, a member of the church, designed and built the addition. He said there's still room for a 15,000 square foot sanctuary and 50 parking spaces.

"We have engineers already giving us some bids. All we need is a congregational growth (to about 300 to 400 members)," Balentine said. "And we're ready to go with that."

The addition was completed two weeks ago, and early returns show the congregation loves it.

Google announced Android TV at Google I/O today, the company's latest attempt to grab a foothold in the living room.

Unlike the Chromecast, Android TV will feature a full onscreen interface and search capabilities, and is designed to be built into TVs and set top boxes. Navigation is handled using a combination of smartphone control and voice search, with the Android TV interface overlaying over content that's currently playing.

Android TV runs on the latest version of the Android operating system and developers should be able to write one single app that will work on mobile and living room devices. Apps will be arranged on the user interface according to usage and Android TV has a neat feature allowing it recommend specific content from the home screen -- letting you to jump right to the next episode of the show you've been binge-watching, for example. There's traditional "casting" functionality available as well, letting you load content and push it your TV just as you would on the Chromecast.

Gaming will also be supported and Google showed off a controller-based "NBA Jam" game during the demo. However, no specific hardware details -- controller or otherwise -- have been announced yet, although Google named a handful of hardware partners including Sharp, Sony, LG, and Asus. Razer also made its own Android TV announcement, in the form of a micro-console dedicated to gaming.

Google says Android TV devices will be available in the fall, but no prices have been announced yet. In addition to Android TV, Google also announced a host of updates for Chromecast, including Google Plus photo integration and smartphone mirroring capabilities.

This is a breaking story and will be updated shortly. Follow along now on CNET's Google I/O live blog.
