Seattle Campus BuildingsThe school occupies three buildings on the UW Seattle campus: Alfred H. Anderson Hall, the Hugo Winkenwerder Forest Sciences Laboratory, and Julius H. Bloedel Hall. In addition, the UW Botanic Gardens (UWBG) occupies building complexes at Union Bay and the Washington Park Arboretum.
The school maintains the UW campus Brockman Memorial Tree Tour. This tour of significant campus trees, most non-native species, is dedicated to the memory of professor C. Frank Brockman (1902-1985).
Field FacilitiesThe school field facilities include two major forested areas covering more than 4,000 acres, an arboretum, a reserve and several cooperative research centers and stations. These lands offer a wide variety of terrestrial and aquatic characteristics in support of a full range of scientific investigations. They also provide a general natural science laboratory for the many disciplines in the School concerned with natural resource science and management.
- Union Bay Natural Area
The Union Bay Natural Area, located adjacent to CUH, is a large grassland and wetland. It supports research, education and outreach programs in the fields of urban horticulture, forestry, ecology and restoration.
- Washington Park Arboretum
The Washington Park Arboretum is a spectacular urban green space on the shores of Lake Washington just east of downtown Seattle and south of the UW. Its 200 acres comprise a dynamic, living learning experience with collections of oaks, conifers, camellias, Japanese maples and hollies that are known internationally as our country's largest. The School manages the Arboretum's plant collections. The city of Seattle Department of Parks and Recreation holds title to the land and cooperates in its management.
- Olympic Natural Resources Center (ONRC)
The Olympic Natural Resources Center, near Forks, Wash., is administered jointly with the College of Ocean and Fishery Sciences. It conducts research and eduction in natural resource management practices that integrate the generation of economic benefits with the maintenance and enhancement of ecological values. Biological, physical and social scientists cooperate on projects ranging from basic scientific research to public policy assessment. Much of the Center's work is conducted cooperatively with other research institutions, state and federal agencies, resource owners and interest groups. The major focus is on forest and marine resources of the Olympic Peninsula.
- Charles Lathrop Pack Experimental Forest and Center for Sustainable Forestry at Pack Forest
The Charles Lathrop Pack Experimental Forest of approximately 4,200 acres is located 65 miles south of the UW, near Eatonville, Wash. This forested property is the focal point for on-the-ground academic work in environmental science and resource management subject areas, both at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Broad forest and soil diversity has led to extensive biological, management and engineering research, much of which may be characterized as a "pioneering effort." A full-time resident staff manages the facility. Rustic but comfortable facilities provide housing and support to academic and research programs and are also are used extensively for conferences both within and outside the UW.
- Lee Memorial Forest
The Lee Memorial Forest, of approximately 160 acres, is located about 22 miles northeast of the UW near Maltby, Wash. This forested property provides valuable academic and research opportunities near the campus. Characterized by forest types and soils common to western Washington lowlands, Lee Forest is used extensively for part-day trips and for research and demonstration projects especially useful in a land base where long-term study commitments are difficult to achieve.
- Wind River Experimental Forest
The Wind River Experimental Forest (WREF) is one of the few remaining old-growth forests left in the Pacific Northwest. It operates under a special use permit with the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, the U.S. Forest Service Pacific Northwest Research Station, and the University of Washington. SEFS has been a long-time research partner at WREF, working together on canopy tower operations and other projects.
- Thompson Research Site
- Joe E. Monahan Findley Lake Reserve
The Thompson Research Site and the Joe E. Monohan Findley Lake Reserve in the 640-acre Cedar River watershed are utilized by the School in cooperation with the city of Seattle's Public Utilities for studies in forest hydrology and mineral cycling in the forest ecosystem.

Dewar's Signature
- By Jack Bettridge
- | From Tyson vs. King, Jan/Feb 04
Long the best-selling Scotch whisky blend in the United States, Dewar's can now count itself among the costliest. With the introduction of Signature at $200, Dewar's joins Chivas Regal Royal Salute and Johnny Walker Blue Label among the hyperpremium blends that easily hold their own amongst single malts.
Since the nineteenth century, Dewar's has sold itself with masterful marketing, which included the philosophical quips of cofounder Tommy Dewar, the first film advertisement, the legendary "Dewar's man" campaign and a general attempt to pitch its whisky as an upper-crust pursuit. Until recently the company hadn't tried extra age as a marketing tool. That changed with the introduction of the 12-year-old two years ago and Signature represents an even larger step in the same direction.
The 12-year-old Dewar's Special Reserve entered as a markedly richer product than entry-level White Label, a light, bright whisky that isn't as challenging. Signature moves the bar up even more. Its color is a deeper amber than even the 12 and the nose bursts forth with a big balance of maple, honey, anise and smoke. The step up to the Signature also adds a finesse and a hint of almond that the midlevel Dewar's does not enjoy. On the palate, it becomes even richer with cream, vanilla, rock candy and a pronounced heightening of the licorice quotient. The finish goes on and on and turns slightly floral before drying up. Unlike the progression with Chivas and Johnny Walker, which become more elegant but remain very traceable versions of their lower end whiskies, the Dewar's takes on a taste profile that has little connection to the White Label as the price goes up.
While no age statement is given for the newest Dewar's, master blender Thomas Aitken has said that 27-year-old malt made at the company's distillery, Aberfeldy, is at the heart of Signature. By law, the youngest whisky in a blend defines its age and stating it can draw attention from older whiskies that make up a blend. Johnny Walker Blue Label ($200) also specifies no age, even while it sells for about three times the price of Gold Label, which is dated at 18 years. Chivas Regal's Royal Salute ($150) is a 21-year-old.
Signature will be shipped to the United States in dribs and drabs in the coming months. Until your dram arrives, take heart that another industry giant is taking a strong stand for blends.

The cover story for the Jan. 29 issue of Entertainment Weekly merits some scanning for old sports news.
It tries to list "TV's 50 Biggest Bombs Ever!" — a complete list of "flops, blunders & really bad decisions." OK, we get it.
But will NBC ever get it.
Jay Leno's 10 p.m. show has superceded everything on this list, coming in at No. 1 — maybe because it's the most recent act of stupidity.
Actually, as NBC Sports boss Dick Ebersol explained earlier this week on The Dan Patrick Show (KLAC-AM 570 and DirecTV 101), it wasn't so much putting Leno in that time slot but making a decision five years ago that it would terminate Leno's deal and put Conan O'Brien in as "The Tonight Show" host. It tried to fix its blunder by hiring Leno back, trying to get best of both TV worlds. Ratings haven't recorded it to be very successful, and affiliates were rumbling … but they couldn't have stuck it out a little longer?
Back to the list…..
According to EW (as it likes to call itself), among the decisions by NBC to cancel "Baywatch" in 1990, the decision by NBC to air "Pink Lady and Jeff" in 1980, the decision to NBC to air a remake of "Bionic Woman" in 2007, and the decision by NBC to air "My Mother The Car" in 1965 AND 1966, here's some other sports-related things you may remember that were blunderfully terrific in TV history (with the magazine's ranking::
10. The XFL (NBC, 2001):
NBC and the World Wrestling Federation teammed up for something that was going to compete with the NFL as far as …. we're not sure. It wasn't quality football. From the league that gave us "He Hate Me" and hot-tubs on the sideline of the L.A. Xtreme games at the Coliseum, the lesson learned here: "Tough-sounding team names don't matter if the teams are just plain tough to watch." They're being too kind here. Only Tommy Maddux seemed to make anything of this. The former UCLA quarterback, who was the MVP of the league with the Xtreme, got a job with the Pittsburgh Steelers after this.
11. Terrible late-night talk shows: The Magic Hour vs. The Chevy Chase Show.
Magic Johnson's show came and went in 1998. EW: "Magic's low point came when he allowed Howard Stern's crew to come spend an entire hour farting into microphones and telling him how horrible his show was." Look back on all this from our experience: We were at Farmer's Market in L.A. and someone was giving out tickets to see the Magic Hour being taped nearby at CBS Television City. Again, the tickets were free. Most people checking out the produce looked at the distributors were Hari Krisnas. From our recollection, Magic lasted just a month on the job. The syndicated show on Fox disappeared. Poof. Like Magic.
45. Dennis Miller on Monday Night Football: (ABC, 2000-2002)
EW: "If there's one thing football fans love, it's for some know-it-all to club them over the head with obscure referencs that require an encylopedia to decipher." Really, was that the problem? Or was the audience too dense to get jokes? Nope, it was that Miller, the "Saturday Night Live" star who also tried his own late-night shows, afternoon shows, cable shows and carnival shows, thought he was supposed to be a game analyst and add snarkiness when appropriate. Dan Fouts didn't butt in enough and Al Michaels wasn't sure who to turn to. Tony Kornheiser tried to be Dennis Miller Lite for a few seasons, and that wasn't so bad. It's just that it wasn't so good.

The Police Log is a digest of reports filed by the Warwick Police.
Officer Nicholas Reay reported a disturbance and assault in progress around 4:25 p.m. at Lakis Pizza on West Shore Road on April 23. The suspect told Reay he had come to the restaurant to speak with his boss, a contractor, about an issue with his pay. He told Reay he never put a hand on his boss but admitted he did kick his boss's van.
The suspect's boss told police he was sitting at the bar in the restaurant eating when the suspect came in and grabbed him from behind by the neck and threw him to the ground. He told police he used the suspect as a subcontractor but had recently fired him. He said he had been getting threatening text messages from the suspect saying he would "hurt him" and "knock his teeth out." He told police that the owner of the restaurant told them to take their fight outside, at which time the suspect began kicking his van.
Witnesses in the restaurant told police the same story that the contractor did and the suspect, Wagner Jurandir Jacinto, 37, of 53 Wetmore St., Central Falls, was arrested and charged with assault and malicious damage to property. He was later released with a summons for District Court.
A 52-year-old Providence woman was charged with shoplifting at Macy's in Warwick Mall on April 22 after loss prevention at the store told police she selected a pair of earrings, a ring and a necklace and concealed them in her purse before entering a second jewelry section where she took two bracelets from a display and concealed them in her purse as well. Loss prevention said they stopped her in the mall after she walked out of the store without paying for the goods. They told police they recovered $395 worth of jewelry from her purse. Angelita Inoa, of 508 Chalkstone Ave., Providnece, was processed at headquarters and later released with a summons.
Shanna Miller, 22, of 4 Cathedral St., Providence, was charged with stealing three t-shirts worth $69 from the JC Penney store in Warwick Mall on April 10. A loss prevention agent at the store told police he watched her on closed circuit television as she took three t-shirts from stock and brought them to the cashier as a return and exchanged them for three other shirts she had selected. Loss prevention said the transaction amounted to $69, and Miller was charged with shoplifting at headquarters and later released with a summons for District Court.
Rebecca Desiata, 19, of 1441 Main St., West Warwick, was charged with shoplifting after an employee of the Ocean State Job Lot on West Shore Road told police she saw her take several pieces of clothing and a bottle of nail polish and conceal them in a bag before leaving the store without paying for the goods. Desiata was processed at headquarters and later released with a summons for District Court.
Officer Jason Brodeur reported he was on patrol around 9:35 p.m. on April 16 when he got a call about a potential road rage incident near the intersection of Toll Gate and Bald Hill Roads. He said he arrived and found a blue Ford stopped in the right lane of Bald Hill Road even though it had a green light. He said he directed the driver to pull over into the Town Faire Tire parking lot and went to speak with her. He said the driver appeared to be under the influence and he asked her if she had been drinking and she responded, "So what? Go ahead and arrest me." He said he asked her why she had stopped in the middle of the intersection and she replied that she was trying to find someone "who gave a [expletive]," and that no one cared about her and she should just commit suicide. He said the woman refused to complete a field sobriety test and was taken to headquarters, where she refused a breath test. Brenda A. Demasi, 52, of 115 Borden Ave., Johnston, was charged with DUI and refusal and then taken to Kent Hospital for evaluation because of her suicide remark.
Officer Christian Vargas reported he was on patrol around 9 p.m. on April 17 when a pickup truck cut in front of him on Post Road, forcing him to slam on his brakes to avoid hitting the truck that had turned onto Kentucky Avenue. He said he followed the truck as it left the road and went onto the grass before it pulled over for the vehicle stop. He said the driver appeared to be intoxicated and admitted he had a few beers and was driving to a friend's house on Chestnut Street, which Vargas noted was in the opposite direction the truck was headed. He said the man told of previous broken bones and crushed discs and had a cane in the back of the truck, so he dispensed with the field sobriety test but did give the driver a preliminary breath test and he blew a .298 on the portable breath analyzer. The driver was arrested on suspicion of DUI and taken to headquarters, where he registered a .251 and a .253 blood alcohol content on the breath test. Paul F. Miranda Jr., 45, of 38 Fiume St., West Warwick, was charged with DUI. He was also charged with felony possession of marijuana, second offense, based on the five grams they found in the truck and a prior conviction for the same charge, and held for the bail commissioner.

Even after 2 cans, she's still not WHITE, I guess the fabric soaked up a lot of the paint. She's now a lovely shade of grey with green undertones. It looks like Restoration Hardware's Silver Sage! YAY! What a happy accident.
I made a few fabric and ribbon rosettes to adorn her shoulder. She's going to live in one of the girls rooms and hold their necklaces and earrings! Look at that before photo...she's come a long way, BABY! If you are curious about how I made the chalkboard go HERE
I also found a few more butter pats for the Whimsy...found store while I was thrifting this weekend. They are a lovely lovely trio! The roses are so sweet and delicate. I think I might put the first photo in the store too, 'cause I'm in love with the light and shadow play from the early morning light.
I've linked Ms. Delilah to a couple blog parties...they are over there on the right under PARTY TIME, go check out every ones goodies!
|These little charmers are so sweet and pretty...PERFECT to hold your rings and earrings at night...or a nice PAT OF BUTTER!

Timely and Accurate Information Is Needed to Identify and Track Frozen Defined Benefit Plans

While private-sector pensions help millions of Americans achieve retirement income security, the number of private defined benefit (DB) plans1 has declined substantially over the past two decades. Recently, those concerned with the viability of the private defined benefit pension system point to significant increases in pension contributions plan sponsors must make and to the fact that most plans are currently underfunded. The underfunding of plans, due in large part to the sharp decline in the stock market combined with a general decline in interest rates, has increased substantially. The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC), whose single-employer insurance program insures the benefits of over 34 million workers and retirees in private defined benefit plans, estimated that the total underfunding exceeded $350 billion as of September 4, 2003. According to employer groups, plan sponsors face inflated and unpredictable pension contributions that have greatly diminished the attractiveness of maintaining DB plans. As a result, employer groups have suggested that plan sponsors may consider freezing their plans rather than confronting the possibility of increased pension contributions. A plan "freeze" could have adverse consequences for the retirement income security of participants because new employees are precluded from participating in the plan, and current participants might not receive additional benefit accruals. Because timely and accurate information on plan freezes could be important in assessing the overall health of the private DB system, Congress asked us to determine how many DB plans have been frozen since 2000.
We could not determine the number of defined benefit plans frozen since 2000. Currently available public information cannot be used to readily identify and track frozen DB plans. Officials at PBGC and DOL we interviewed considered potential approaches to using Form 5500 filings to determine how many DB plans have been frozen, and we found that such approaches have limitations with respect to the accuracy and completeness of the results. Consequently, PBGC requested that the 2002 Form 5500 Annual Return collect information on DB frozen plans. This information, however, is limited and will not be available until 2004. We reviewed other reports and disclosures that DB plans must provide to the government or participants, but determined that these are not useful in identifying frozen plans. Publicly available information is of limited use in identifying and tracking frozen plans in part because there is no statutory definition of a DB plan freeze. Private surveys from benefits consulting firms seek to estimate the incidence of DB plan freezes in recent years, but the results reflect information from their clients only and do not provide a clear and complete picture of plan freezes among all DB plans. More complete and timely information on frozen defined benefit plans could help assess the potential risks plan freezes pose to participants' retirement income security and the viability of PBGC's single-employer insurance program. Because it is uncertain to what extent DB plan freezes pose risks to participants' retirement income security and PBGC's single-employer insurance program, we believe that additional steps are needed to collect information on such plans and evaluate their potential consequences. Accordingly, PBGC's Executive Director should direct the agency to identify, track, and analyze frozen DB plans on a pilot basis.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: PBGC developed a survey instrument to identify frozen defined benefit pension plans, the reasons they were frozen, and the intentions sponsors have for changing the frozen status of the plan. However, PBGC canceled the survey because it was difficult to find a bidder--consulting firms didn't want to bid on it due to the very high response rate that PBGC required (per OMB). PBGC concluded that it could do a useful study on frozen plans through an analysis of the 2003 Form 5500. However, PBGC initiated its own study of frozen defined benefit plans using available Form 5500 data and published the results. The study, entitled 'An Analysis of Frozen Defined Benefit Plans,' was issued on December 21, 2005. Due to limitations of the 2003 Form 5500 data, the study identified and analyzed so-called 'hard frozen' plans, a subset of frozen plans in which no participants accrue any new benefits under the plan. The study also identified a number of plan characteristics associated with the 'hard frozen plans' including plan size, type of plan, funded ratio, and industrial sector. This substantially addresses our recommendation..
Recommendation: To enable the federal government to determine the risks defined benefit plan freezes pose to participants and PBGC, the Executive Director of the PBGC should direct the agency to conduct a pilot study to identify frozen DB plans it insures and assess the usefulness of information on the characteristics and consequences of plan freezes. The information PBGC obtains from plan sponsors could help it assess the extent to which plans are frozen, the eventual outcomes of plan freezes, and the likely consequences on PBGC's single-employer insurance program and participants' retirement benefits. The results of a pilot study could help PBGC determine whether a regular data collection and analysis effort is warranted and if an additional reporting requirement for plan sponsors is needed.

Investigators on three continents are moving closer to definitively tying Al Qaeda and its Indonesian allies to the Oct. 12 bomb blast at the Sari Club on the island of Bali that killed at least 190 people.
In particular, an alleged Al Qaeda operative in US custody has told interrogators that he and members of the regional terror group Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) agreed at a meeting in southern Thailand last January to strike at Southeast Asian tourist resorts such as Bali, according to a regional intelligence official.
Investigators say all of the evidence, while not quite a smoking gun, is pointing them in one direction. But even as it does, some analysts say, the opportunity presented to Indonesian President Megawati Sukarnoputri to move decisively against domestic radicals is slipping away. Instead, the convoluted politics of the world's most populous Muslim nation are threatening to protect alleged members of terrorist groups.
Since the Bali bombing, domestic sympathy for JI which US and Indonesian investigators strongly believe was involved in the attack has only increased. At the same time, suspicion of foreign investigators, particularly those from the US, has soared.
Ms. Megawati has been largely silent, failing to try to rally the nation around an antiterror effort. The vacuum has been filled with rumor and speculation, with fingers pointing almost anywhere but at the small, tightknit network of Indonesian militants already linked to JI and implicated in a series of smaller bombings in the past three years.
"This whole discourse of denial and the strange behavior of the Indonesian government is attributable to domestic political realities,'' says Andrew Tan, a professor at Singapore's Institute for Strategic and Defense Studies. "Neither Megawati nor anybody else wants to risk being branded un-Islamic. So I think it's likely that radical groups will continue to flourish in Indonesia."
At present, Indonesia has roughly a dozen radical groups who claim their own militias. Although these are technically illegal, Jakarta has continued to leave them alone.
The government has, however, taken a small risk in the Saturday arrest of Abu Bakar Bashir, a 64-year old cleric. The State Department named Mr. Bashir as the leader of JI when it placed the group on its list of international terrorist organizations earlier this month. Bashir, who has complained of health problems since the police said they were considering arresting him, is currently being held at a police hospital in Jakarta.
He denies any ties to terrorism and claims that the US, a country he deems an "enemy of Islam," has pressured Indonesia to arrest him because of his religious beliefs.
National police say the cleric has not been arrested in connection with the Bali bombings instead, he's been charged with involvement in the bombing of almost a dozen churches on Christmas Eve 2000. But the two events are far from unconnected.
In a court filing yesterday laying out the charges against Bashir, the police cited a string of evidence against him, all of which is at least a year old. But only now has the government chosen to move against him, leaving a clear impression in the Indonesian public mind that he's being punished for the explosion on Bali.
Still, analysts say he's unlikely to be able to shed any light on what happened in Bali, and warn that the Indonesian government is risking burning political capital on a red herring. They say Bashir's knowledge of operations has been limited since the start of 2001, when he began to emerge as a senior leader in the movement to bring Islamic law to Indonesia as the chairman of the Majelis Mujahidin Indonesia (MMI), a high profile umbrella group for Indonesian militants.
"They're not going to get any information leading them to the Bali culprits from Bashir," says Rohan Gunaratna, a terrorism expert who has written a book on Al Qaeda.
According to regional intelligence officials citing interrogations of alleged JI members, Bashir's rising public profile worried the group's principal operations man, Riduan Isammudin better known as Hambali. To protect the organization, Bashir was apparently cut out of the loop.
"There's no doubt that Bashir's a bad guy,'' says a Western diplomat in Jakarta. "But we don't think he pulled the trigger on Bali."
A string of suspicions
Indonesia's national police say they aren't certain yet who did pull the trigger on Bali. This week, the police announced the arrests of three Indonesian men on suspicion of involvement in the blast including the alleged owner of the minivan used in the attack. However, they warn that the detainees may eventually be released.
But police do have serious suspicions. Hambali, who is considered to be the JI's principal link to Al Qaeda, remains at large and was a participant in the January meeting in southern Thailand, according to Mohammed Mansour Jabarah.
Mr. Jabarah, a native of Kuwait with a Canadian passport, was arrested in Oman in March for allegedly plotting, along with JI, to blow up the US Embassy and other Western targets in Singapore. That plot was foiled last December with the arrests of dozens of alleged JI members in Singapore and Malaysia.
Jabarah is currently in US custody, and described the meeting to interrogators, according to a regional official. His account is the first in a string of evidence pointing toward JI.
The Singapore government says Jabarah came to Singapore along with another Al Qaeda operative, Indonesian Fathur Rahman al-Ghozi, in October 2001 to provide technical expertise for the attack on the US Embassy. But after that plot was foiled, operatives who remained at large decided that traditional targets like embassies were getting too difficult to attack.
Instead, Hambali and the other participants at the January meeting agreed to focus on clubs and bars frequented by Westerners. Most of the victims in the Sari Club blast were Australian. That shift to softer targets is something that Western intelligence agencies allege is happening within Al Qaeda and its loose network of affiliates across the globe.
Mr. Al-Ghozi was arrested in Manila before that January meeting, and is now serving time in the Philippines for a bomb blast that killed 22 at a Manila train station on New Year's Eve 2000. He received training in bombmaking at an Al Qaeda camp in Afghanistan, Indonesian and Filipino officials say.
Philippine officials say he's also confessed to building the car bomb that almost killed the Philippine ambassador to Indonesia, Leonides Caday, in August 2000.
That car bomb, in turn, is the only explosion in recent Indonesian history that compares to the style of bomb and skill that was involved in the construction of the car-bomb that destroyed the Sari Club. "The ambassador's house was a smaller blast, but it was quite similar,'' says Prasetyo, the deputy spokesman for the Indonesian National Police.
Nevertheless, with the exception of Bashir's arrest, there has been little effort to round up the literally dozens of leads that the interrogation of Jabarah and another alleged Al Qaeda operative who was arrested in Indonesia, Omar al-Faruq, have yielded, according to the terrorism expert, Mr. Gunaratna.
"They have the knowledge to move against a number of people but they don't have the political will," he says. "It's a terrible mistake."
President Megawati has appeared to misunderstand the impact of the attack on Indonesia's image. Her first meeting with Australian Prime Minister John Howard after the attack came at a Mexico conference of Pacific leaders on Oct. 26. Rather than focus on condolences and promises to catch the killers, she complained that Australia's stark warning to nationals to defer travel to Indonesia, issued since the attack, was hurting Indonesia's economy. Mr. Howard reminded her that his responsibility was the safety of Australians.
"As far as Megawati is concerned, the travel warning, and not the fact that terrorists are running around her country, is the problem,'' says Mr. Tan of Singapore's Institute for Defense and Strategic Studies.
That could create a backlash in Mr. Bashir's favor if evidence connecting him to the Bali blasts isn't forthcoming. Mr. Bashir is already seen by millions of Indonesians as a persecuted and sympathetic figure whose only crime is speaking his mind.

Rollover Recovery - Kopycinski's BrainPosted in How To on March 21, 2014
Flirt with physics, push your rig too hard, and you may find it sitting on its side or with the shiny side down. Rollovers happen. It might be as simple as a light flop to the side or as drastic as multiple rolls at high speed.
Aside from the obvious injury that can occur to vehicle occupants, those helping with recovery may face danger as well while the vehicle sits, as rolled, or during recovery. With scorching engines, and hot and flammable liquids, the potential for burns or other bodily harm rises. Leaking fluids can catch fire or ruptured cooling systems can spew scalding water. It's also possible to encounter spilled battery acid or electrical fire due to pinched and shorted wires.
Once a rollover has occurred and any injuries attended to, make a careful pause to take stock before proceeding with the vehicle recovery. Broken glass and sharp metal can slice people or additionally damage the vehicle as it is moved. Some vehicle systems respond poorly to being flipped or squeezed.
Once righted, and before attempting to start the engine, consider the possibility that engine oil may have seeped past the piston rings and into the engine cylinders. Cranking over the engine with oil in a cylinder can quickly lead to internal engine damage. If you have any question, pull the spark plugs and crank the engine shortly with them removed to purge any oil that may have entered the cylinders.
Here's hoping you stay shiny side up!

The journey is long and lined with struggle. The climb out of the hole is a war in itself. It is hard to imagine the struggles that the first African American female pastor in the 283-year history of St. Michael's Lutheran Church, 6671 Germantown Ave. in Mt. Airy, has been able to overcome.
Pastor Andrena Ingram grew up in a home filled with violence and was molested by her alcoholic father as a child. She flirted with heroin in high-school and was later swept away by alcohol and cocaine addiction. Continuing the destructive cycle, Andrena was physically abused by her first husband as well. When the crack epidemic raged, she was a user in Staten Island. She was a homeless mother of two and was HIV-positive, though at the time she did not know it.
And now she has been clean for 23 years. After she served a two-year temporary pastor's role, the congregation at St. Michael's voted to hire her full-time. A woman who was hungry in the streets, who timed her homeless days around various "church kitchen" services, now runs a "Community Meal" at the church (aided by St. Peter's Lutheran Church in Lafayette Hill) for anyone in need every Saturday, and Andrena counsels and befriends all who walk through the doors.
The story of Pastor Andrena Ingram, 57, is the odyssey of an abused youth with low self-esteem who has sailed the ship of herself through a series of storms and managed to survive. Now a strong captain on the ship of life, her life serves as an archetype for personal triumph and rebirth.
Ingram is candid about her HIV status, sometimes dons an "HIV-Positive" shirt that is as red as a tomato and works and volunteers in various ministerial capacities to help others who suffer silently from their own HIV-positive diagnoses. The congregation recently celebrated the fifth anniversary of her ordination as pastor of St. Michael's.
Ingram was raised in Jamaica, Queens. In 1973, her senior year in high school, she experimented for a short while snorting heroin. In 1974, she married a young man from the neighborhood. She spent one semester at LaGuardia Community College and worked at various jobs for a few years.
At 21, in 1976 she enlisted in the Army after her husband, who had gone to Fort Hood in 1974, was honorably discharged. She enlisted at Fort Hood, Texas and finished her service in Germany in 1983, where she had risen to the ranks of a Drill Instructor. All the while, she was drinking heavily. Her first daughter was born in 1981 in Heidelberg, Germany.
In 1983 Ingram was honorably discharged from the Army and came home to Queens. When the couple returned stateside, the warehouse which held their household goods from Germany burned down. They lived with Ingram's parents-in-law. But with the money from the government because of the fire, she had the income to spend on cocaine.
She worked full-time at Sony Pictures while bowing to a cocaine addiction. It was something she rationalized by saying it was what the in-crowd was doing at the time. After a few years she was fired for using cocaine. And during this era she was also a victim of domestic violence.
"I was not being strong enough," said Ingram during a recent interview. "I escaped into drugs. It made me feel like I was down with what the 'in-crowd' was doing, in all actuality; I was simply medicating my feelings." Eventually the marriage dissolved. The last time her husband beat her was in front of their daughter. "Something just clicked in my head, and I said I can't let the cycle continue."
But if the cycle of violence inflicted upon her by others did not continue, her cycle of self-abusiveness did. She moved back home with her parents, where the presence of her father and emotions from the past still contributed to tense living conditions. Her drinking escalated. She was kicked out of the home by her father in 1985, entered the welfare system and lived in a welfare hotel on Staten Island.
At the time, Ingram was pregnant again and smoking crack in a welfare hotel when her water broke. She simply put a towel under herself and continued to smoke while her friend got the manager, who called an ambulance. At the birth of her daughter, she wanted to return home instead of raising her daughter in a welfare hotel.
After all, Andrena had been raised in a middle-class Baptist family. However, when she called home, she found out her father had died a month earlier. No one had been able to find her. That set her off back on the streets for a three-day drug run, which when over, left her contemplating death. With the help of an organization called "Project Hospitality" on Staten Island, a bed was secured for her at Phoenix House, an 18- month residential treatment facility in New York City.
"If I had to have an excuse," Ingram said about her drug abuse, "it would be the dysfunction in the family, the sexual abuse, low self-esteem, wanting to be understood, peer pressure, witnessing life in the four walls of the house…"
At the Phoenix House she met Warren, whom she married in 1991. They had a son in 1992 while Ingram worked at a halfway house. Warren died from complications due to AIDS in 1993. He had contracted the virus during his days as an intravenous drug user. It was during her husband's final hospitalization that medical personnel suggested Ingram be tested for HIV. She quickly discovered she was HIV-positive, and medical personnel concluded that her HIV infection was the result of her lifestyle before entering drug rehab and before she met her husband.
Initially, when Warren died, Andrena figured she had three options: drugs, suicide or continued sobriety. She chose the last one, and unlike Warren, who she says shut down and ran away from the fact he was HIV-positive, Ingram decided to be open and up front about her positive diagnosis, which is currently managed through treatment. "I saw firsthand what keeping that secret did to my husband. For me, being open freed me up," she said. "Secrets are deadly."
In 1998, Andrena was working two jobs when she began to suffer with bouts of depression. Life seemed to be just too much. She was trying to figure out a way to care for her son that would free up some time for her to wallow in self-pity, and she enrolled him in Vacation Bible School at the Transfiguration Lutheran Church down the street from her home in the Bronx.
It was during that time that a minister named Heidi Neumark, saw something in Ingram and asked Ingram if she could help with Sunday School because a teacher was absent that day. Ingram said no. Neumark nudged. And so Ingram began to take on more responsibilities within the church and eventually became president of the church's council. She was then sent to conventions and training in Vancouver and at the University of Notre Dame.
In 2002, Neumark suggested Ingram go into the seminary. Again, Ingram said no. Nonetheless, the following year she enrolled in the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Mt. Airy in a one-year program. Her grades were quite good, and wanting to leave no doubt that she was academically qualified for the ministry, Andrena asked to be enrolled in the four-year program. In 2007 she earned a Master's of Divinity and came to St. Michael's Church in Mt. Airy.
"When I came to St. Michael's, I put everything about myself on the table. I am blessed to be a part of a congregation which accepts the totality of who I am. I use every bit of my life," said Ingram about the content of some of her sermons and her interactions with parishoners. "I empty myself".
Ingram is also the chaplain of Southeastern Pennsylvania's Lutheran Youth Organization. In July, she will speak to more than 35,000 high-school students at the ELCA National Gathering in New Orleans in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. And while her travails make for a supremely compelling story, Ingram wants to be known more for how that story ends, for her work as a pastor and activist. She wants to be known as a woman who experienced awful things but is now able to share a message of strength, hope and rejuvenation.
Still, like many recovering addicts, there have been some days she might feel the urge to relapse. She adheres to the 12-step program's motto: "One Day at a Time." She "replays the tapes," a technique she learned at the Phoenix House of remembering the lowest places in her life, like sleeping in abandoned buildings and collecting cans all day in order to buy a bottle of wine.
She insists, "There's no way I am going back to that! By the grace of God and with the support of family, friends and my support network, there is no way I am giving up 23 years of sobriety and the life I have!"
On the first Saturday of every other month, Ingram hosts confidential HIV-testing at the church. She also facilitates a "Living with HIV" Facebook group. St. Michael's next testing event is Saturday, April 7, between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.
