The Seal Island Bridge is a bridge located in Victoria County, Nova Scotia. It is the third longest bridge span in the province.

The bridge is a through arch design and crosses the Great Bras d'Or channel of Bras d'Or Lake, connecting Boularderie Centre, Boularderie Island on the south side with New Harris, Cape Breton Island on the north side.

Construction
Construction of the Seal Island Bridge began in 1960 as part of the Trans-Canada Highway project. The bridge, officially known as the Great Bras d'Or Crossing, was completed in 1961 at a cost of $4,652,850. The construction of  of approach roads increased the total cost of the project to about $6 million. The bridge is a crucial link in the Trans Canada Highway between Sydney and Baddeck, carrying more than 7,500 vehicles a day in peak periods. The structure carries two traffic lanes of Highway 105 and was originally constructed with a pedestrian sidewalk on each side.

The bridge crosses part of the channel on a causeway connecting the north shore of the channel to Seal Island, a small wooded island. The structure consists of eight steel box truss spans, three simply supported  approach spans, two simply-supported  splay spans, and a three-span continuous main span that consists of two  side spans and a  centre arch span. The steel structure is supported on tall reinforced concrete piers, armoured with cut stone at the waterline.

Closures due to wind
Due to the bridge's height and location in a deep valley that can funnel winds, the Seal Island Bridge occasionally is closed to high-sided vehicles such as transport trucks. There have been a number of incidents on the bridge over the years with winds toppling transport trucks. At times these closures can last for a number of hours, causing traffic to back up. RCMP will stop high-sided vehicles at the bridge and inform they cannot cross. At times as many as 15 to 20 transport trucks can be lined up, waiting for conditions to improve so they can make the crossing.

Controversy
The location of the bridge had proven controversial. It replaced two ferry services crossing the Great Bras d'Or; one at the northeastern end between New Campbellton-Big Bras d'Or, and the other at the southwestern end at Big Harbour-Ross Ferry.

For political reasons, it was decided to place the bridge halfway between the two ferry services on account of an outcry by communities fearing the loss of their transportation links. Unfortunately, this required an extensive modification to the Trans-Canada Highway route on the eastern slope of Kelly's Mountain ( high), resulting in a 180° "switchback".

A safer alternative to continue the highway further east on a gradual descent of Kelly's Mountain toward New Campbellton, crossing at the northern end of the Great Bras d'Or channel was rejected. Likewise, a route between Beinn Bhreagh and Kempt Head at the extreme southwestern end of the channel (much wider waterway but avoiding Kelly's Mountain altogether) was never considered. A number of serious accidents have occurred on Kelly's Mountain and at the switchback at the base of the grade over the years, as many as six or seven accidents taking place in some years.

Deck replacement
By 2001, it was found the existing cast-in-place concrete bridge deck was in poor condition. Forty years of wear and tear from traffic as well as exposure to wind and salt spray necessitated a major overhaul of the Seal Island Bridge. The road deck needed complete replacement, and the steel truss work needed reinforcement. Engineers thoroughly inspected the rest of the bridge structure and found it to be sound and safe.

A major deck replacement project was undertaken. Over the next three years, the original cast-in-place concrete bridge deck was removed and replaced using full-depth, precast, prestressed, half-deck width concrete panels. It was necessary to complete one lane at a time, starting with the south lane, leaving the other deck in place so the bridge could continue to be used for vehicular traffic. Construction was completed with minimal traffic disruptions, and the bridge remained open to single lane traffic throughout construction, with the exception of three, six-hour overnight closures planned per week. This project added several decades to the useful life of the bridge.

The new high performance precast concrete deck system is much more durable than conventional systems since it is less permeable and crack-free under service load conditions. The deck system adopted is significantly lighter than a conventional cast-in-place concrete deck system. This has resulted in considerable savings in the amount of truss reinforcement required, while providing sufficient mass and stiffness for damping purposes. At the same time the guard rails (traffic barriers) were replaced over the entire length of the bridge, with the new guard rails set inside the main bridge trusses to better protect them from vehicle impact. Unfortunately, this made the new bridge deck too narrow to retain the sidewalks, so they were not replaced. However, this modification did result in wider traffic lanes. The overall cost of the bridge deck reconstruction was $15 million. There are now "No pedestrian traffic" signs on each end of the bridge.

Awards
On April 20, 2004, it was announced the Seal Island Bridge Reconstruction Project had won the Lieutenant Governor's Award for Engineering Excellence. The Department of Transportation and Public Works shared the honours with consultants CBCL Limited of Halifax for the major overhaul of the province's third largest bridge.

The best thing about the new Oz horror film The School is its poster
12 December 18Reviews
Sadly, the best thing about the Australian horror film The School – which seems to have been inspired by 80s trashploitation films – is its poster, writes Ari Mattes from University of Notre Dame Australia.
There's something about the Australian context that lends itself to explorations of horror. As I have argued elsewhere, the combination of what historian Geoffrey Blainey famously described as the "tyranny of distance," the barrenness of the Australian outback and landscape for European settlers, white Australia's convict origins, and its guilt regarding the genocide of the Indigenous Australians, have all helped create a cultural milieu ripe for narratives of anxiety, despair, and terror.
Some of the best examples of horror and fantasy genre films have emerged from Australia, from Peter Weir's masterful The Cars that Ate Paris to Leigh Whannell's recent Upgrade.
Unfortunately, The School, a new film from writer-director Storm Ashwood, is not one of them. Like many of the 1980s trashploitation films by which The School seems to be inspired, the best thing about this kids adventure-cum-horror film – think The Goonies meets Silent Hill – is its poster.
The film opens quite well, recalling, in its pre-title sequence, recent, closed-room horror thrillers like Saw and Cube. The protagonist, Amy (Megan Drury), wakes in a grimy, post-apocalyptic style building in a bathtub full of blood, to find herself under attack from "hungries," zombie-like creatures who crawl along the ground, as young Timmy (Jack Ruwald) tells her.
From this point, though, things get murky, with the story cutting between Amy's past – she is a doctor who works in the same hospital in which her son has lain in a coma for two years following a near-drowning accident – and "The School," a kind of purgatory presided over by Escape From New York-style gangs of upset schoolkids and an array of creatures like "weepers" and "the wall walker."
She discovers that her son David (who is or isn't dead?) is in a place called the Forbidden Zone, and sets off with two young guides, Timmy and Becky (Alexia Santosuosso), to help her navigate the nightmarish School. Along the way, they battle creatures and the more menacing gang, ruled by the tyrannical and predictably camp Zac (Will McDonald). It culminates with various revelations that aren't at all unexpected, and yet still don't seem to make much sense according to the rules established by the film itself.
The filmmakers seem to think it's more interesting if the audience doesn't know what's going on, and that confusion automatically leads to curiosity. This, of course, usually isn't the case.
Its incoherent story is matched by limp design choices. It embraces a trash aesthetic, and yet looks cheap and ineffective, and thus lacks the capacity to convince the viewer and make us believe in this world. The creatures look like they've come from a low-rent videogame, and the score is awkward in its attempt to create an atmosphere of dark fantasy.
It is critical to the success of a film like The School, so centralised as it is around the interior psychological and emotional shape of its protagonist, that its lead actor is flawless; this, unfortunately, is not the case here – Megan Drury's performance is wooden and melodramatic, and not at all compelling.
Indeed, the worst thing about The School is the acting. Aside from the always excellent Nicholas Hope in a small role, most of the performances are well below what one expects from a professionally-made feature film with these resources.
Even though it's not a complete disaster – few films are, and The School is efficiently shot and edited – it is a good example of an indie film that doesn't work in part because of a poor story and script.
The scenario of the film should be engaging – seeing someone trapped in an inescapable hell automatically raises compelling existential questions, which explains why it's been the premise of a diverse array of narratives from Jean-Paul Sartre's play, No Exit, to the recent television series Wayward Pines.
And yet The School just doesn't seem to know what it's doing – it never gets into, for example, the potentially interesting material raised by the overlaying of two key modern disciplinary institutions, the school and the hospital – instead settling for lines like Dr Masuta's (delivered by Nicholas Hope with a serious face): "And hell, like heaven – it's only a story… Hell exists only in the mind Amy. It is the place we imagine all our suffering belongs."
The School is a dreary and unsatisfying film; any potentially interesting notes are drowned out by the acting and heavy-handed approaches to most of the key cinematic areas, including composition and production design. It is a shame, because there are much better indie Australian genre films around – Michael Chrisoulakis' Los Angeles Overnight, for example – that fail to acquire local theatrical release.

Ron Paul sells out to the Zionist Lobby
5041 Views April 18, 2012 9 Comments Blog, Uncategorized The Saker
Ron Paul Shocks Campaign Staff With New Position On Israel
Republican presidential hopeful Ron Paul revealed this week that he would support moving the U.S. Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, a surprising position that contradicts conventional wisdom about Paul's stance toward the Jewish state.
Paul first made this position known Wednesday night, during a private meeting with evangelical leaders interested in helping the Texas Congressman reach out to the conservative Christian community.
According to a transcript of the meeting obtained by Business Insider, the leaders started off the meeting by asking Paul whether he would sign an Executive Order to move the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, a major policy objective for Israeli hardliners and many leaders in the Christian Right.
"The real issue here is not what America wants, but what does Israel want," Paul told evangelical leaders, according to a transcript of the meeting obtained by Business Insider. "If Israel wants their capital to be Jerusalem, then the United States should honor that."
"How would we like it if some other nation said 'We decided to recognize New York City as your capital instead, so we will build our embassy there?'" he added.
Even Paul's senior campaign aides were surprised by his response.
"We were floored," senior advisor Doug Wead told Business Insider. "It sounds like pure Ron Paul, but it still caught us off guard…If someone would have asked him that in a national debate, I suppose it would have popped right out, but nobody did!"
Wead added that Paul's position "makes sense after the fact," noting that the candidate has frequently emphasized Israel's sovereignty.
Still, Paul's stance will likely come as a surprise to GOP leaders, most of whom view Paul's non-interventionist foreign policy ideas — and particularly his stance towards Israel — as his greatest weakness. The septuagenarian Congressman has largely been snubbed by the right-wing Jewish community, and was even excluded from a December presidential candidates' forum hosted by the Republican Jewish Coalition because of his "misguided and extreme" foreign policy views.
"I appreciate what he said about Israel — as a matter of fact, I was pleasantly surprised," Brian Jacobs, a Texas pastor who attended Wednesday's meeting, told Business Insider. "It helped answer a lot of questions that I had."
Ironically, Paul and Newt Gingrich are now the only presidential candidates who have said that they are in favor of recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and moving the U.S. Embassy there. President Barack Obama has postponed moving the Embassy. Romney "would like to see the U.S. Embassy eventually moved to Jerusalem," campaign spokesman Andrea Saul said in a statement emailed to Business Insider.
While Paul's position is unlikely to change the near-certain outcome of the Republican primary, it could help Paul gain support among evangelical leaders, many of whom have been hesitant to support Romney. Jacobs, who has worked as a consultant for televangelist Billy Graham, told Business Insider that several evangelical leaders have started to express interest in talking to Paul in the wake of Rick Santorum's departure from the race.
Jacobs said he is now working with the Paul campaign to organize conference calls between the candidate and evangelical leaders. Christian television producer Justin Machacek, who also attended Wednesday's meeting, said he is working on arranging a larger meeting between Paul and other conservative Christian groups.
A relationship with Christian Right powerbrokers could give Ron Paul more leverage within the party, as Romney tries to unite the GOP after this year's divisive primary fight. It could also help broaden the Paul coalition, setting the stage for a future run by Paul's son, U.S. Sen. Rand Paul.
"100% of Christian leaders that I've talked to, do you know the one thing they like about Ron Paul? His son Rand Paul," Jacobs told Business Insider. "Every Christian leader will say, 'You know I'm not quite sure if Ron Paul can win the nomination'…but in the same breath, they tag it with, "But I sure do like the way his son has followed him.'"
Commentary: this is really a very sad development as for all his dogmatic and misguided views on economic topics, Ron Paul always held a deeply moral and fundamentally logical and sound position on US foreign policy and to see this otherwise honorable man cave in, albeit in private, to one of the most immoral and evil lobbies on the planet is terrible way for Ron Paul to end his political career. The only good thing coming from this is now we can honestly say that the Republican Party is truly entirely composed of lunatics, imbeciles and prostitutes.
Lysander on April 19, 2012 · at 1:45 am EST/EDT
I'm not worried about it at all, for the following reasons:
1) It is entirely consistent with Paul's stated principles of neutrality and non intervention. He never campaigned on righting the wrongs done to Palestinians, only that he would cut aid to all foreign countries including Israel. And that he would reconcile with Iran and avoid foreign wars. That position hasn't changed at all.
2) I ***WANT*** the US to move its embassy to Jerusalem. Why? First, because I don't need the US to tell me that Jerusalem belongs to the Palestinians and second, because the only reason the US keeps its embassy in Tel Aviv is to avoid additional embarrassment to Saudi Arabia and the other Gulf puppets. But I ***WANT*** them to be embarrassed. I want them to be denied every possible fig leaf used to cloth their naked treachery.
Now if Ron Paul would start back tracking on foreign aid, reconciliation with Iran, foreign wars, that would be a different matter entirely. But he wont. First, because if he was going to, he would have done it long before now. And second, he has an army of loyal supporters, few of whom are fans of Israel or the foreign wars the US loves to conduct. They (we) would drop him as well as Rand Paul if we thought he was softening up on the most important issues. He knows this. And there isn't an Army of neocons looking to support Ron Paul to replace us.
In, short, this is much ado about nothing IMHO. However, I'm always on the lookout if there is ever a real sign of selling out.

jerusalem is not the capital of israel..tel aviv..zionist jews like to call jerusalem he capital but that is not legal.
RP has just shown he knows who provides the funding for US politicians! US is now firmly a servant of tiny israel
what abizarre comment:
'2) I ***WANT*** the US to move its embassy to Jerusalem. Why? First, because I don't need the US to tell me that Jerusalem belongs to the Palestinians and second, because the only reason the US keeps its embassy in Tel Aviv is to avoid additional embarrassment to Saudi Arabia and the other Gulf puppets. But I ***WANT*** them to be embarrassed. I want them to be denied every possible fig leaf used to cloth their naked treachery.'
translation…Lysander is a zionist..or exceptionally dim.

Justin Raimondo of Antiwar.com ;
NOTES IN THE MARGIN
I note, with a sigh of resignation, the "news" that Rep. Ron Paul has supposedly come out for moving the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem in recognition of the Israeli claim to that city as its capital. I also note that the only sources for this "news" are 1) Business Insider, a site that has never been friendly to Paul and has consistently engaged in baseless speculation about a "deal" with Romney, and 2) Doug Wead, a Republican operative and advisor to Paul whose secret recording of conversations he had with President George W. Bush – and their subsequent release – earned him near-universal distrust. The Paul campaign has issued no official statement of this new policy, and there is nothing on their web site about it as of Sunday afternoon, when this column is being written. Perhaps Mr. Wead will release his secret recording of the alleged conversation Paul had with evangelicals leaders, where he allegedly made this pledge.
so it may not be true
Diane V. McLoughlin on April 21, 2012 · at 5:30 am EST/EDT
My view: the allegation that Paul sold-out to any group is suspect. I agree with Raimondo of antiwar.com.
Lysander on April 21, 2012 · at 2:25 pm EST/EDT
If I qualify as a zionist, then everybody does. As for dim, maybe you need to look into the role the house of Saud has played as a defacto ally of Israel from the very beginning. Anything that hastens their downfall would be a wondrous gift.

He'l consider but might not do it…
Michele on May 01, 2012 · at 3:16 pm EST/EDT
I agree with Ron Paul…it is Israel's nation…if they want the capitol in Jerusalem…it is their choice…not america's to make! GO RON PAUL!!!!
I agree whole hearted ly with Ron paul…and it is completely consistent with his policy of not intervening in another nation's business….It is entirely up to Israel where they want their own capitol…not our choice to make! RON PAUL 2012!!!!

xboxplay.games >División 2 > Division 2: How to beat James Dragov Boss in Warlords of New York
We have prepared a guide on one of the most difficult División 2 battles, we tell you how to beat the boss of James Dragov in Warlords of New York.
Who is James Dragov in Warlords of New York at División 2.
This is one of the four warlords of New York, a corrupt agent who controls the Financial District in Lower Manhattan whom you will have to defeat before arriving in Keener and in order to complete the "Neutralize James Dragov" mission.
How to beat the boss of James Dragov in Warlords of New York in División 2.
We will begin this mission by killing some bad guys of low level, although as you go along things will get more complicated. The strategy here will be to focus first on low level enemies and then move on to higher level enemies.
James Dragov Reserve.
After finishing all the previous enemies you will begin the process of locating the reserve of this boss. Start passing through the entrance on the left side of the bus and cross the bus and go through the door that is on the right side, where when you enter you will find some enemies that you will have to face. When you finish with them you will have to go up the stairs and using your strength open the elevator door, go up the elevator to your left and force the door in front again.
Secure the reservation.
"Secure the reservation" is the name of the target you start when you reach the floor. In that room you will find some enemies again, some of them will be at the end of the room so very pending. The best strategy with them will be to use the sniper rifle to eliminate them and be able to reach the room with orange lighting and go through the door that is on the left side.
Reach street level.
For this purpose you will have to reach the ground level while killing all the bad ones you find.
Get out of the building.
The exit is after crossing the left graffiti fence that says "Our city, our rules" where you will find a computer with which after interacting, the door will open and you can leave.
Search of the stock exchange building.
From this goal things get much more complicated.
When you start you will find a machine gun connected to an ATV and it is firing non-stop. At this point you will have to place a turret next to you to kill the lower level enemies, you will have to shoot the ATV only when it stops.
Avoid the grenades of the enemies and when you have space run and cover yourself behind the pillars of a building on the right side and shoot the ATV again but from this point.
Then you will have to run through the hole in the front wall to kill the enemies that are on the left side, then go through the door to shoot the ATV from behind to destroy it and collect everything you find.
Then run and enter the bus and kill all the enemies you find to complete the objective.
Secure Dragov's lair.
In this objective, the first thing you have to do is access the "Arena and Gymnasium" building where you will find a lot of enemies that you will have to kill trying to take care of yourself because they will attack you with everything, so cover yourself with the elevated platform that is on the right side.
When the enemies are down, move to the far left of the room to deal damage there. Then climb the ladder to the second floor where you will have to defeat some enemies again to complete this goal.
Back to the Stock Exchange building.
Exit the building and go to the orange checkpoint while you finish with the enemies waiting for you, at the checkpoint you will have to shoot at the balcony above and when it falls you can jump into the building window of the Stock Exchange Values on the left.
Find and secure trading halls.
After jumping to the Stock Exchange building you will have to move to the left and then to the right to get to the casino.
Jump to the ground and go through the exit on the left and kill all the enemies you find to complete this objective.
End James Dragov.
Start the last objective by killing all the enemies that are on the floor where you are.
James Dragov will arrive using a shield and will be flanked by two other enemies that also have shields.
It will not be an easy battle, your best weapon will be the grenades, throw them when the boss comes to you with his minions or when they attack you to stop them and then shoot with everything you have.
Using the brightness of the monitor ends the few enemies that are in the distance.
The health of this boss is not easy to exhaust, we recommend shooting at a distance until you hear "Gun power restored", at which time you will use the gun from the box marked with an X that you will find at the point of weapons and ammunition .
Destroy your shield using a mini-gun and the rest will be a piece of cake.
This is our guide on how to beat the boss of James Dragov in Warlords of New York in División 2, which we hope has been very useful and that now that you have everything you need to know to beat him, get it done as soon as possible.

Final Fantasy VII Remake: How to stagger enemies


Generations of children have been enchanted by the detailed miniature world of model railroads. This year during spring break, the Colorado Railroad Museum is honoring this special hobby with a week of programming especially for the model train enthusiast, and those about to become enchanted by this very special hobby whatever their age.
Given the breadth of model railroading, the Museum is highlighting a special theme and craft each day. Monday is all about that beloved British engine – Thomas the Tank Engine — and we will be making our own Thomas, Percy or Emily that young visitors can take home. Tuesday welcomes our friends from the Museum of Miniatures, Dolls & Toys and guests can make a matchbox train layout that photographer William Henry Jackson could appreciate. The Museum will host the Colorado Model Railroad Museum on Wednesday and visitors will create cookie tray landscapes. Thursday sees the President of the Denver HO Model Club demonstrating his hobby and our visitors will make a wooden cube locomotive. We will end the week on Friday by exploring model railroading from a LEGO perspective and you guessed it the opportunity to make your own locomotive out of LEGO bricks while supplies last.
Visitors too are invited to share their own expertise on Thursday when the Museum hosts a "Pop Up Exhibit" themed around model trains. To participate you just need to bring your own special model train, write a label telling its story and display it at the exhibit's table. You can choose to stay and interpret your model train to visitors or leave it in the capable hands of the exhibit's tour host. Those "loaning" a model rail car can pick it up at the end of the day.
A number of the Museum's friends will be participating all week long. Operation Life Saver, the model train store, Caboose Ltd., along with the Denver HO Model Club and the Denver Garden Railway Society will be here offering their expertise and demonstrating their layouts to visitors young and old alike. The Museum will display model trains from its permanent collection in the library where a train-themed storytime will happen each day at 11 am.
Of course, no visit to the Colorado Railroad Museum will be entirely complete without a train ride and one of Colorado's unique Galloping Geese is standing by ready to provide this unique experience for a small fee of $4. While not exactly a "model" train, the geese do fall into the category of a smaller scale rail car that stepped up when it became too expensive for the larger steam locomotive to make the mail run into the mountains. Today, the Galloping Goose provides Museum goers a unique perspective of train travel.
Families are encouraged to spend part of their spring break at the Colorado Railroad Museum. While the train ride is $4, all other special spring break activities are offered at no additional cost to general admission.


I had previously run mx 17.1 and am now back to running Mx 17.1 once again. after updating the OS ..none of my newsreaders work / will connect to a previously good server.
and i can download any all posts i choose with no issues at all.
I can't solve your problem for you, but I just installed Pan on a test box, entered the server details, and it all worked.
If anyone more knowledgeable wants me to test, I will be happy to do so.
I would make sure some hosts based ad blocker isn't blocking your chosen server.
still not able to get pan to work.
Nothing works on either system or ANY flavor of linux (ubuntu mint antergos or manjaro).
Only thing i can think of is that somehow someone put a block on my ATT router to disable newsgroups.
The router works fine otherwise and i checked all the setting and had them reset to as it came to me from ATT.
The really odd thing. In a V.B. if i install ANY flavor of Linux ....it works normally. That is what is driving me nuts over this..!!!
Totally frustrated and considering going back to windows if i cannot get this worked out.
what is the server that is supposed to work?
the other thing to check is to see if the ports in use have changed and that perhaps the firewall is blocking them.


Discussion in 'Forum Games' started by tree, Jul 22, 2015.
of the previously posted word.
want to use the word "chart," you can think of another word.
I don't know any English words starting with the letters R & T.
And this is a game of making words in English.

Emerging State Markets Driving Utility-Supply Solar: SEPA
A new report from the Smart Electric Power Alliance (SEPA) shows that the solar industry saw a geographical expansion beyond the traditional powerhouse markets – e.g., California and North Carolina – in 2018.
According to SEPA's 2019 Utility Solar Market Snapshot, there was 7.3 GW of solar interconnected in 2018, marking a 20.1% increase in total capacity over 2017. Now in its 12th year, the Utility Solar Market Snapshot is based on interconnection data and market insights obtained directly from more than 500 utilities across the country.
The solar snapshot shows that the national market remains strong and competitive – despite minor cost impacts from the solar panel and steel tariffs of 2018, says SEPA. Particularly, emerging markets such as Florida, Washington and Rhode Island saw huge year-over-year growth rates of 311.9%, 150.2% and 344.1%, respectively. Other strong emerging markets included Texas, Minnesota, South Carolina and Oregon.

'Comeback' Cleveland prepares for moment in sun — and braces for Hurricane Donald
By Mary Jordan
Mary Jordan
National political correspondent
Downtown Cleveland looms beyond the Tremont neighborhood, where old factories and warehouses are quickly being replaced with housing and businesses. (Jabin Botsford/The Washington Post)
CLEVELAND — When this former industrial powerhouse beat out Dallas, Denver and other cities competing to host this summer's Republican convention in the same week that basketball legend LeBron James announced his return to the Cavaliers, Cleveland felt it had its mojo back.
Millennials were moving downtown. Lakefront condos, luxury hotels and outdoor cafes were opening around a new convention center, and the Public Square, the heart of downtown, was getting a $50 million makeover with new fountains, lush grass and blooming dogwoods. The "Comeback City" couldn't wait for Republicans from every state and 15,000 journalists from around the world to check out the change — and spread the word.
But back then, in 2014, no one forecast Hurricane Donald.
Now Donald Trump, the most unconventional presidential candidate in modern times, is promising to create "a big spectacle" with a "showbiz" feel, leaving Cleveland excited about the heightened interest — and nervous about what might happen with the arrival of the political storm.
"I would venture to say we have never had this much attention," said David Gilbert, president and chief executive of the Cleveland 2016 Host Committee. "In terms of changing the narrative about Cleveland, showcasing all the change, it's a tremendous opportunity. . . . We are no longer the bridesmaid."

The last time Cleveland held a convention was in 1936, when Kansas Gov. Alf Landon was handed the Republican nomination here and Franklin D. Roosevelt won the Democratic bid in Philadelphia, the city that will also host this year's Democratic convention.
In 2012, 30 million people tuned in to see Mitt Romney accept the GOP nomination on the final night of the Tampa convention. TV networks are predicting far more eyeballs on Cleveland. Facebook, Twitter and Google are all preparing for the biggest social-media political event ever held.
"The accessibility of this convention will be unprecedented," said Audrey Scagnelli, national press secretary for the Republican committee organizing the convention. AT&T just finished laying 50,000 feet of fiber downtown, she said, to "make sure anyone with an Internet connection" in any corner of the world sees what is happening in Cleveland.
Couple global exposure with a "candidate who is a lightning rod" and Clevelanders get nervous, said Christine Link, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union in Ohio. "It was supposed to be Jeb Bush in a slam dunk, and we were going to have a lovely, beautiful party," she said, recalling the thinking back when the city landed the convention two years ago.
Now, Bikers for Trump, the Coalition Against Trump and a growing list of fired-up groups are applying for permits to march down the streets.
With the GOP convention less than two months away, Cleveland scrambles to prepare for the arrival of tens of thousands of delegates, demonstrators and journalists.

"He's dangerous to our country!" said Tom Burke, who is coming from Grand Rapids, Mich., to organize an anti-Trump rally. "I am 51, and in my lifetime we have never seen a candidate like this. He talks about using nuclear weapons! He is going to start another war!"
Demonstrators picket every political convention, but there is added security concern here because punches have already been thrown at Trump rallies — including last week in San Jose. Cleveland police have insisted they are prepared for the thousands of people who love Trump sharing the streets with thousands who detest him.
There is already a lot of focus on police because of the 2014 shooting death of Tamir Rice, a 12-year-old who was carrying a toy gun, as well as a Justice Department finding of a pattern of use of excessive force.
Gun rights advocates have started a petition, signed by more than 45,000 people, to allow people to carry firearms at the convention; Ohio, like many other states, has an open-carry law. But the Secret Service is banning guns in and immediately around the arena.
Police officials said officers will wear body cameras — and many will wear shorts and ride bikes or horses in a deliberate effort not to appear confrontational. If officers don riot gear, which is incompatible with the cameras, special police video crews are to accompany them.

"It's going to be a zoo. Nobody envisioned it would be Trump coming here," said Carl Wendorff, a warehouse manager.
Cleveland sought the convention in the hopes of shedding what Gilbert called "a perception problem."
In other words, people were sick of their city being called the Mistake on the Lake.
It was a way to get thousands of people to see, for instance, paddle boats and pike in a river that was once so polluted it caught fire. That 1969 fire on the Cuyahoga turned the city into a punch line.
Decades of hard times, factory closings and population loss have hurt. But recently, the health-care industry, led by the Cleveland Clinic and University Hospitals; an affordable cost of living attractive to many national firms; and a new effort to market the food, music and art scene helped lead a rebirth.
"I have a two-minute commute," said Peter Hart, 25, a PNC bank employee and one of the thousands who now live in the heart of the city.
Jeremy Paris recently moved here from Washington to lead a group charged with beautifying downtown. The executive director of the Group Plan Commission stood at the edge of the soon-to-open six-acre Public Square park that will have an outdoor art exhibit in summer and an ice rink in winter.
The Republican convention accelerated many projects. Workers are everywhere installing giant flower planters, paving streets and scrubbing 200-year-old facades. Last week, car chase scenes for the latest "Fast & Furious" movie were being filmed near the city's lakefront Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, where the convention's opening-night party will be held.
"You get your house ready for a party — that's what we are doing," Paris, who used to work on Capitol Hill, said about all the activity.
The convention is expected to inject over $200 million into the local economy — a key reason so many in this Democratic county, which voted solidly for Barack Obama, don't mind being overrun by Republicans.
"A barbershop owner was just telling me he has a bunch of Secret Service guys coming in every week to get their hair cut," Gilbert said.
Hundreds of people are already here spending in big ways and small, he said.
Trump, the longtime owner of the televised Miss Universe pageant and star of the reality TV show "The Apprentice," said in an interview with The Washington Post that conventions in the past have been too dull. "It's very important to put some showbiz into a convention, otherwise people are going to fall asleep," he said.
Trump is even thinking about using the 67,000-seat Cleveland Browns football stadium for a Trump address, a far bigger venue than the convention center. But he is not saying yet what celebrities he is hoping to woo to Cleveland. Notably, many GOP stalwarts, including Romney and former presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, are staying away.
So are a "small handful" of companies who usually sponsor the event, Gilbert said. In this hyper-divisive election cycle, companies including Coca-Cola are taking pains to say they are not endorsing any candidate and offering the exact same donation to help pay for both party's conventions.
So far, Cleveland has raised $57 million of the $64 million it pledged to help pay for hosting the event, which is expected to draw 50,000 delegates and media.
On a recent evening downtown, many people jogging and walking talked about the buzz in the Lake Erie air. James and the Cavaliers are in the NBA Finals, and Clevelanders are counting down to the city's big moment in prime time, which begins July 18.
In this city, used to bad news, many people can't help but worry something will go wrong.
But Carol Sanders, who works for the local Sibling Revelry Brewing, is getting into the spirit, even offering a special convention beer called Swing State Pale Ale.
To satisfy every political taste, the beer can be poured from either a red tap or blue tap.
