August 19, 2012 (BOSTON) --For just the second time in 131 years the USS Constitution sailed under its own power Sunday for a big anniversary.
The world's oldest commissioned warship afloat sailed for about 10 minutes on the 200th anniversary of a major battle.
The short trip marked the day two centuries ago when the Constitution bested the British frigate HMS Guerriere in a fierce battle during the War of 1812.

When Conette was just seven years old, her life changed forever
Conette arrives every day to Becoming Independent, bounding into the building with a smile on her face and enough enthusiasm to wake a hibernating bear. On either side of her, she supports herself with a silver and red walker which is strewn with her purse and bags full of snacks to last her the whole workweek. "You bring your whole kitchen in with you today?" I ask as she finds a seat. "Almost!" she responds with a chuckle. Watching her socialize with her peers and the staff, one would never know the traumatic obstacles she has overcome in her 29 years of life. I asked Conette if she would share her story with me on how she has overcome so much in life, and where she found the courage to do so.
Conette was born with cerebral palsy. She grew up using canes and walkers to support her while she walked. Although she needed these supports, this did not stop Conette from enjoying a normal childhood. However, when she was just seven years old, Conette's life was changed forever. She was out in her neighborhood, enjoying an afternoon with the other children when a young boy accidentally lit the hem of her dress on fire, setting her ablaze. Her neighbor saw Conette and the fire. He immediately rushed to her, throwing himself onto the fire, which engulfed her. Conette was taken to the emergency room, and then was flown to St. Francis hospital in San Francisco. Upon her arrival, doctors informed her family that she had a 50% chance of surviving her burns and that her lungs were so damaged, she would need a ventilator to help her breathe. Thankfully, Conette made it through and for the next few months; she would endure "hundreds of surgeries" to help repair and graft her severely burned skin, which covered over half of her body.
I asked Conette if she remembered being burned, or the early days of her time in the hospital. She told me no, she doesn't have much recollection from that time. Still a child, Conette's life had been completely changed before it had really started. I asked her how differently she was treated by people and how it affected her. "Other kids were told to stay away from me…it made me feel lonely, like no one liked me", she explained. Conette spent most of her childhood and teens, feeling like an outsider. Although her appearance had changed, Conette's spirit did not. She persevered and remained strong through her childhood and teens, taking the initiative to start conversations with people, just to be friendly. It wasn't until her 20's that she felt she was accepted and treated normally by her adult counterparts.
When Conette turned 21, she had three more surgeries to correct her legs, which were turned inwards due to her cerebral palsy. As well, at age 27 she had surgery to repair a slip disc in her spine caused by a fall. "I didn't want another surgery" she said, "It's so hard on the body."
Today, Conette works and makes a modest living working at Becoming Independent. She lives at home with her mother, has a boyfriend, and enjoys baking and cooking.
There is a saying, how a person handles hardship in their life, determines a lot about that persons character. As someone who has known Conette for over a year, I would say that she is one of the most courageous and inspiring people I have met. She has overcome several traumatic experiences, and has left them in the past. These experiences may have changed her life, but they do not define her.
At the end of the interview, I asked Conette, "Where do you think all the courage came from to help you through those traumatic experiences?" She simply replied, "My heart."

Other side effects include increased risk of heart problems in older men with poor mobility, according to a 2009 study at Boston Medical Center. A 2017 study published in JAMA found that treatments increase coronary artery plaque volume. Additionally, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires manufactures to include a notice on the labeling that states taking testosterone treatments can lead to possible increased risk of heart attacks and strokes. The FDA recommends that patients using testosterone should seek medical attention right away if they have these symptoms:
Transdermal patches (adhesive patches placed on the skin) may also be used to deliver a steady dose through the skin and into the bloodstream. Testosterone-containing creams and gels that are applied daily to the skin are also available, but absorption is inefficient (roughly 10%, varying between individuals) and these treatments tend to be more expensive. Individuals who are especially physically active and/or bathe often may not be good candidates, since the medication can be washed off and may take up to six hours to be fully absorbed. There is also the risk that an intimate partner or child may come in contact with the application site and inadvertently dose himself or herself; children and women are highly sensitive to testosterone and can suffer unintended masculinization and health effects, even from small doses. Injection is the most common method used by individuals administering AAS for non-medical purposes. [45]

Buy a water ionizer. Water ionizers attach to your faucet and are very user friendly. The water becomes electrically enhanced (ionized) because the ionizer runs it over positive and negative electrodes. Doing this separates the water into alkalized water and acidic water. The alkalized water makes up about 70% of the produced water and can be used for drinking. Don't just discard the acidic water. Acidic water can kill many types of bacteria. You can use it for washing your body, killing some of the bacteria living on your skin. Purchase an ionizing water filter. These filters are easily transportable and cheaper than buying an electric ionizer. They work in a similar fashion to a normal filter. Pour water into the filter and let it sit for three to five minutes. While you are waiting, the water is being sent through a series of filters. Once it passes through the filters, it sits in a pool of alkalizing minerals. These filters can often be found with the kitchen appliances in home stores.
Add pH drops. pH drops contain potent alkaline minerals and are highly concentrated. You can purchase pH drops at health food stores or online. Follow the directions on your specific pH bottle to determine how many drops you should put into your water. Keep in mind that while pH drops increase the alkalinity of your water, they do not filter out any of the things like chlorine or fluoride that can be found in your tap water. Cut up one lemon into eighths. Add the lemons to the water but do not squeeze them--simply place them in the water. You can add one tablespoon of pink Himalayan sea salt to your lemon water if desired. Adding the salt mineralizes your alkaline water. Use baking soda. Add 1/8 tbsp baking soda to an 8 oz. glass of water. Baking soda has a high alkaline content. When the baking soda mixes with the water, it increases the alkaline properties of the water. Shake (if you are using a water bottle) or stir (if using a glass) the mixture vigorously to make sure the baking soda mixes in thoroughly with the water. If you are on a low sodium diet, do not add baking soda to your water. Baking soda is high in sodium.
114 Conversely, cancer cells have no way to normalize their internal pH, where normal cells are relatively unaffected by high concentrations of alkalizing minerals. However cancer cells take up primarily two elements: glucose and potassium. In practical application, then, it is necessary to find a way to guide alkalizing elements - such as cesium, germanium or rubidium - into cancer cells, without impacting normal cells. It turns out this can be done using a transport agent that penetrates the bone/blood barriers, then relying on the normal uptake of alkalizing elements that follow the potassium pathway. Cancer cells appear to have preferential uptake of cesium chloride in particular, but also take up germanium, rubidium, selenium, etc. all through the potassium pathway.
There is a compound that is frequently applied to the skin by arthritis sufferers for relief of inflammation, used in brain surgery to relieve intracranial pressure and topically used in sports medicine and veterinary medicine, also for reducing inflammation. This compound is called DMSO and it is formed in the slurry created from soaking wood chips in water that is a bi-product of the paper making industry. Folklore has it that workers in the paper making industry were observed to have their hands in water continuously, but they never developed arthritis and had rapidly healing skin and strong nails. Experimentation with DMSO as a medical treatment began in the 1800's and continues to the present day. DMSO is medically approved in the United States only for the treatment of interstitial cystitis, a type of inflammation of the bladder

'American Idol' Winner Scotty McCreery Makes Chart History With No. 1 Debut
The season 10 victor's first album, "Clear As Day," tops the Billboard 200 this week, making the 18-year-old country singer the youngest male artist to do so.
American Idol winner Scotty McCreery made history today as the youngest male artist to top the Billboard 200 chart with a debut release. Clear As Day, which came out October 4, moved 196,739 in its first week, good for the No. 1 spot. He is the first new country artist so far in 2011 to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. The last time a country singer achieved such a feat was in 2005, when Carrie Underwood's Some Hearts was released.
"Everybody hopes for the number one, but you never really expect it," says McCreery, who turned 18 on Sunday. " To see it up there is pretty incredible. It's a very good birthday present! I can't think of anything to top it!"
Some 15,000 fans attended his album release party/homecoming concert/birthday celebration at Raleigh's Time Warner Cable Music Pavilion at Walnut Creek on October 8, where McCreery was presented with a gold record certifying digital sales of more than 500,000 for the single "I Love You This Big" (see photo).
"It couldn't have happened to a nicer young man," says Luke Lewis, chairman and CEO of Universal Music Group Nashville, which includes Mercury Nashville.
McCreery and Idol season 10 runner-up Lauren Alaina, whose new album Wildflower is out this week, are both managed by Simon Fuller, CEO and founder of XIX Entertainment, who commented, "Scotty is a true talent; he will stand the test of time and I am honored to be helping guide his career."

The National Weather Service keeps the thermometer six feet above ground in a white box thus keeping the sensor in the shade. Measuring Pressure: A barometer measures pressure. *Pressure (P) - the force exerted on a surface divided by the area of the surface Properties of Pressure o o Pressure increases as more gas is added Conclusion - Pressure (P) is directly proportional to moles of gas (n) Pressure is measured in units that describe force exerted by the gas divided by area over which the gas is distributed. e.g. lb/in2 Conclusion Pressure due to a gas is the same in all directions whereas pressure due to weight is directional Barometer - apparatus used to measure pressure; is derived from the Greek "baros" meaning "weight" Created by Evangelista Torricelli in 1646 Inverted a tube filled with mercury into a dish until the force of the Hg inside the tube balanced the force of the atmosphere on the surface of the liquid outside the tube o Example: Aneroid Barometers: (without liquid) The aneroid barometer responds to variation in air pressure by the flexing of an evacuated bellows against the tension of a powerful spring. The movement of the bellows is amplified by a system of levers and converted into a rotation by a chain wrapped around a pivoted rod to which a pointer is attached. The chain is kept in tension by a hairspring, which also takes the slack out of the lever joints. Variations in air pressure can give about 200 degrees of movement of the pointer. Aneroid barometers require no special precautions when moved, and many were designed as pocket barometers and altimeters for surveyors and climbers. Measuring Winds: An anemometer measures wind speed; A wind vane measures wind direction. Measuring Precipitation: A rain gauge measures precipitation. There are two major types of rain gauges used in weather observations. One type is a tipping bucket and the other is a weighing rain gauge. Generally, 10" of snow for 1" of rain can work as a fairly good ration but not always. Measuring Humidity: A hygrometer measures humidity. Measuring Temperature, Dewpoint, and Humidity (mobile instead of a fixed station): A sling psychrometer measures wet bulb and dry bulb from which you can get temperature, dewpoint and relative humidity. Definitions of humidity-related terms Absolute humidity: The mass of water vapor in a given volume of air( i.e., density of water vapor in a given parcel, usually expressed in grams per cubic meter Specific humidity: The mass of water vapor in a parcel divided by the total mass of the air in the parcel (including water vapor) Relative humidity: The amount of water vapor actually in the air divided by the amount of water vapor the air can hold. Relative humidity is expressed as a percentage and can be computed in a variety of ways. One way is to divide the actual vapor pressure by the saturation vapor pressure and then multiply by 100 to convert to a percent. Wet bulb temperature: The lowest temperature that can be obtained by evaporating water into the air at constant pressure. The name comes from the technique of putting a wet cloth over the bulb of a mercury thermometer and then blowing air over the cloth until the water evaporates. Since evaporation takes up heat, the thermometer will cool to a lower temperature than a thermometer with a dry bulb at the same time and place. Wet bulb temperatures can be used along with the dry bulb temperature to calculate dew point or relative humidity Actual vapor pressure: The partial pressure exerted by the water vapor present in a parcel. Water in a gaseous state (i.e. water vapor) exerts a pressure just like the atmospheric air. Vapor pressure is also measured in millibars. Condensation: The phase change of a gas to a liquid. In the atmosphere, the change of water vapor to liquid water. Dewpoint: the temperature air would have to be cooled to in order for saturation to occur. The dewpoint temperature assumes there is no change in air pressure or moisture content of the air. Dry bulb temperature: The actual air temperature. See wet bulb temperature below. Freezing: The phase change of liquid water into ice. Evaporation: The phase change of liquid water into water vapor. Melting: The phase change of ice into liquid water. Mixing ratio: The mass of water vapor in a parcel divided by the mass of the dry air in the parcel (not including water vapor) Saturation of air: The condition under which the amount of water vapor in the air is the maximum possible at the existing temperature and pressure. Condensation or sublimation will begin if the temperature falls or water vapor is added to the air. Saturation vapor pressure: The maximum partial pressure that water vapor molecules would exert if the air were saturated with vapor at a given temperature. Saturation vapor pressure varies with atmospheric pressure. When a given atmospheric pressure is steady, then the saturated vapor pressure is directly proportional to the temperature. Sublimation: In U.S. meteorology, the phase change of water vapor in the air directly into ice or the chance of ice directly into water vapor. Chemists, and sometimes meteorologists, refer to the vapor to solid phase change as "deposition."

An important person, not covered in detail yet is Stanley Wheeler, my Grandad, and husband of Elaine Cynthia Wheeler. If it wasn't for his early deviant ventures (deviant might be too strong a word), I may not be here to tell the tale.
It all starts in 1917, Stanley Wheeler is born in Darlington, UK:
This revealed:
- Birth date: 29 October 1917
- Place of birth: 90 Yarm Road, Darlington, U.D.
- Name: Stanley
- Name of mother: Mary Ellen Wheeler
- Residence (mother): 43 York Street, Darlington, U.D.
- Occupation (mother): Lady Barber
- Name of father: ——- (blank)
- Occupation (father): ——- (blank)
- Registrar: J.F. Tomlin (Deputy Registrar)
This confirmed his name and date of birth. Mary Ellen Wheeler is stated as Stanley's mother, however, there is some confusion as to whether this was in fact his grandmother. Mary's residence is recorded as Darlington and her occupation as a lady barber. Stanley's father is not recorded on his birth record.
Stanley's place of birth is interesting. 90 Yarm Road, Darlington, was a workhouse. Workhouses were built to provide accommodation to the public in return for work. Typically, the poorest people in a specific locale resided in workhouses. The use of workhouses date back to 1631, although their origins can be traced back further to the Statute of Cambridge 1388, which restricted the movement of labourers and beggars. A short history of the Darlington site, with pictures and maps can be viewed here.
Little is known about Stanley's early life, although it is believed that he ran away from home in his teenage years to join the military. His records show in 1935 he did enlist in H.M. Forces:
First serving (9 Jan 1935 – 7 Feb 1949) in the Royal Artillery as War Sergeant (this was a rank given by the British Army during the hostilities of WWII). Stanley then became Battery Quarter Master Sergeant (B.Q.M.S.) in 1949, Acting Sergeant in 1950 and [Subaltern] Bombardier (1953-57). There are many records and details about these military positions which will be covered in a future blog post. There is also evidence of Stan (potentially) lying about his age (A la Edith Wharton), hence the earlier reference to 'deviant ventures'. Stanley also went on to work for the electricity board and at Cummins, in Darlington. All for a future blog post.
Stanley served over eight years in India with the Royal Artillery from 14 September 1937 to 18 December 1945. It was here he met his wife. Aged 25, Stanley married Elaine Cynthia Hassett. The marriage details have been published in a previous blog, with discussion, but the details are replicated here. Their marriage took place on 27 June 1943:
This revealed:
- Marriage location: St Mary's Church, Parel
- Marriage date: 27 June 1943
- Names: Stanley Wheeler and Elaine Cynthia Hassett
- Registered age at marriage: Stanley: 25, Elaine: 19
- Condition (marital status): Stanley: Bachelor, Elaine: Spinster
- Rank or profession of Stanley Wheeler: Sergeant in R.A.
- Residence at time of marriage: Stanley: Ahmednagar, Elaine: Dadar
- Father's name: Stanley: John William Wheeler, Elaine: David Vincent Hassett
- Banns (public announcement in a Christian parish church of an impending marriage)
- Witness signatures: C. Bedford and B. Bedford
See previous post for discussion of marriage details.
We know that Stanley and Elaine moved to England with first born child, David around Nov/Dec 1945. Living in Darlington they went on to have four more children. He lived in Darlington for the rest of his life, more detail about this will be covered in a future blog post.
On 18 January 2004, Stanley sadly passed away:
He was, and is, a pivotal part of the family. His life is very important to the shaping of most recent generations and this will be explored in more detail. Survived, initially, by his five children, thirteen grandchildren and six great grandchildren, his memory now lives on through three generations: five children, thirteen grandchildren and fifteen great grandchildren (at the time of writing).

Mr Hollobone said: "The upgrading and electrification of the Midland Mainline would be of immense benefit to Kettering and to the East Midlands."
He said passenger journey numbers on the line between London and Sheffield have increased almost 130 per cent from 5.8 million in 1996-97 to 13.2 million now compared to a 69 per cent increase nationally, and a further 28 per cent increase is expected in the next decade.
But the line has attracted only two per cent of the investment in other rail networks nationwide.
Mr Hollobone, who also raised the issue at Prime Minister's question time that morning, said track improvements at three 'pinch points' at Leicester, Derby and Kettering-Market Harborough, such as lengthening platforms and straightening tracks, would increase the number of off-peak trains to London from two to three, including from Corby, and cut journey times from 62 to 48 minutes.
He said: "Upgrading and electrification will bring higher speeds, which will not only make the service more attractive and have a positive commercial benefit, but increase capacity to meet the increase in passenger numbers."
He said the proposals, which the Government is expect to rule on in July, would generate £450 million of wider economic benefits to the East Midlands and reduce the annual costs of running the line by £60 million, meaning the project would pay for itself in just 10 years.
Mr Hollobone said: "Ours is very much the country's overlooked line.
"I think the Midland Mainline's time has now arrived.
"For what should be relatively little expediture, major improvements can be made to the line."
Minister of State for Rail Theresa Villiers said: "Although the case for electrification looks good, it is a major undertaking with a significant price tag.
"Just electrifying the line is expected to cost more than £530 million. The further upgrades that many campaigners are asking for could add more than £100 million to that figure. The Government already have commitments to improve the rail network in the period up to 2019, amounting to some £5 billion."
Responding to Mr Hollobone's call for him to commit to upgrading the line, David Cameron said: "There is a large amount of support for the Midland Mainline electrification and the decision will depend on whether it is affordable and on assessing competing priorities, but I will listen very carefully, as I know the Treasury will too, to what he says."

I was trudging up the hill from the country club, past million-dollar mansions, to the green where I was performing my second show with the Reno Jazz Orchestra, led by the affable Chuck Reider. Typically, the guys had left me behind and ridden golf carts back to the stage (because typically, I had disappeared for too long in the bathroom doing makeup/wardrobe). As I approached the stage from a dirt road, I came to two trumpeters lounging in a golf cart. One was warming up, the other having a smoke with his wife.
We started talking and it turned out that Mark Curry, the other trumpet player, had been in Ray Charles's band for half a decade in the 80s. He told me Ray's band had been based out of Los Angeles, and that in fact the recording studio he built there in 1964 was now a museum. I said that one thing I loved about big bands was how all the players had such interesting backgrounds, and how all the horn players knew each other.
"Yeah, it's a network," his wife chimed in. "I was on the street in New Orleans and I saw a guy going to a gig with a trumpet case. I asked him where he was going, and he told me, and I said my husband plays trumpet too." The musician asked her who he was, and when she said his name, he said, "Oh, you mean Mark Curry out of Reno, Nevada who played lead with Ray Charles and Woody Herman and makes mouthpieces? I know him. In fact, I need to call him for a new mouthpiece."
I looked him up. Here's a testimonial about Curry from trumpeter 'Pops' (Clint McLaughlin): "He has a line of mouthpieces based on Bach rims and diameters. These are very accurate and every diameter is available in several depths. All of the different depths have the same rim. (What a concept.) So you can have your Bach 1, 3 whatever with the very deep cup, deep cup, medium cup, medium shallow cup and shallow cup.
Mark also has a line of commercial mouthpieces with a softer bite on the rim in shallow and medium cups. These are in all sizes from .600 – .690
Mark also duplicates old mouthpieces… You have not lived until you play one of his flugel mouthpieces. The sound is like butter. He has REAL cornet pieces too."
I love little stories like that, all the connections in the music world, and the details around how instruments are made and improved.
I also love musician humor. Couple of gems from the brass section at the sound check:
Trombonist: "If the audience here seems disinterested, it's because they're disinterested."
Sax player, sitting down with the section: "So how the hell is everyone doing?" Another sax player: "Oh, you know, just living the dream."
Tenor sax: "The bass low-end is overwhelmingly loud." Sound man: "Oh, that's just coming from the back of the sub over there near you. We can't turn it down. Can you deal with it?" Sax: "Sure, but it's making me extremely nauseated."

Pay-to-Participate: We Welcome Your Donations
Given the continued effects of declining revenue sources, the School Board is continuing the policy of having extracurricular participants pay a fee.
High school student athletes will be charged $60 per sport and middle school student athletes will need to pay $30 per sport. Athletes must pay their fee no later than one day prior to the first game/event (not the day of) in which the athlete is eligible and does not guarantee playing time.
Please make your checks for Pay-to-Play payable to the Wahkiakum School District for both MS and HS student athletes.
Low income students who request assistance, may tap the "donation pool" for 50% of their fee.
Donations are welcome and should be delivered to the District Office with a check payable to the Wahkiakum School District. If desired, your donations can be earmarked to assist a specific extracurricular program, otherwise they will go to a general "pot of money." If you want to make a 100% donation for a particular athlete for a particular sport, we will honor your request.
If you have any questions about making a donation, please contact the School District office at 795-3971, or either school building.
Middle School Sports Eligibility Policies
Students at the Middle School level who participate in sports have their grades checked every Friday. If students are failing a class/classes the students will be notified on Friday and have the weekend to work on assignments. These assignments must be turned in to the teacher before school on Monday. Test retakes are to be arranged by the teacher if permitted. In some cases there are no make-up assignments that can be given so it is important for athletes to keep their grades passing at all times. This is especially important at the beginning of each quarter when there are not many grades in the grade book and one poor grade or missing assignment can make a huge difference.
It is the athlete's responsibility to get the assignments to the teacher on Monday morning. If they are passing after the work is graded they will get to participate that week. If they are not passing they sit out of contests and do not travel with the team but still attend practices. If a student is not eligible for three weeks they are no longer a part of the team. For more detailed information, please refer to the Middle School Athletic and Activities Policies Handbook
Forms Required to Participate in
For each sports season, Middle School athletes must be sure they have submitted all the paperwork listed below and met all the eligibility requirements before the first practice in order to participate in a sport during that season.
If you have any questions, please contact our Athletic Director, Rob Garrett.
Checklist of Items Required for All Sports
Student Accident and Health Insurance
All student athletes are required to have health insurance coverage.
For those who do not have medical insurance, Wahkiakum School District makes available to parents a relatively low-cost Student Accident and Sickness Coverage for their children. Families without student athletes are also allowed to purchase this coverage, if they are so inclined. There is however, no requirement on the District's part for student non-athletes to have this coverage.
Forms are available through our student registration process, as well as in both school offices. Feel free to contact your student's school office for more information and/or to pick up the form describing the Student Accident and Health Insurance.

ASTON >> About 100 people voiced their concerns during an open house held by Sunoco Logistics Wednesday evening.
As part of Mariner East 2, Sunoco Logistics wants a 350-mile twin pipeline to carry propane, ethane and butane from Ohio through West Virginia into Pennsylvania and finally to the Marcus Hook Industrial Complex, where it would be stored and distributed to domestic and international customers. The project is anticipated to include two lines, one measuring 20 inches wide and the other 16 inches.
The company has been acquiring property rights throughout the pipeline's corridor and anticipates arriving in Delaware County soon. Wednesday night's meeting was intended to have a conversation with property owners, public officials and other interested parties.
Some, like officials from the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Union Local 654 and International Union of Operating Engineers Local 542, support the project.
The engineers have more than 80 members working on it and the IBEW local has more than 200 employed there.
"I'm very optimistic about everything that's going on here," said Bill Adams, IBEW 654 president. "It's a shining example of putting local labor to work. That's really what's going on down there. They're not employing workers from out of state to work cheaper."
He said he anticipates that more work will continue to come as the natural gas liquids make their way to Delaware County.
"It just opens up so many other possibilities for other companies to think about coming down here and setting up shop," he said.
Maya van Rossum of the Delaware Riverkeeper Network, on the other hand, had concerns about the project.
"They don't want to recognize that when a pipeline cuts through a community, it cuts through a whole community," she said of Sunoco Logistics. "Every time one of these pipelines cuts through a community, you have a permanent, indelible scar and footprint on the community. It does permanent environmental damage. It puts people permanently at risk because you're living next to the pipelines."
When asked about the company's right to eminent domain in taking properties, Don Zoladkiewicz of Sunoco Logistics communications said it's used as a final option.
"We work real hard at trying to avoid that," he said, adding that Sunoco Logistics has eminent domain rights as one of several pipeline companies in Pennsylvania with public utility status.
Another attendant asked about the various volunteer fire companies along the pipeline's route and their ability to handle an incident with any of these natural gas liquids.
Zoladkiewicz said Sunoco Logistics is training emergency responders in the counties where the pipelines transverse.
"We are highly ingrained in the emergency responder process and we will continue to be," he said.
A part of the discussion revolved around a Sunoco Logistics junction station in Middletown.
"I came home from work one night and thought a tornado had come down my hill," Joyce Murray of Glen Riddle Road said. "I got out of my car ... all my trees were down."
She also said there was one night when the smell of gas filled her home and she questioned who is responsible for these things.
"Who do I call?" Murray asked. "When these things happen, there's nobody down there."
Zoladkiewicz said the junction project was a six- to eight-month process.
"We tried, we thought we did OK," he said, adding that it sounded like inadequate notification was given to the property owners.
Hank Ternove, who has lived in an old farmhouse off Martin Lane and Glen Riddle Road since 1985, made an impassioned plea to get some landscaping on the home he said he poured everything into to make it a home.
"It's a disgrace what you did," he said to Sunoco Logistics officials. "(It was) such a beautiful area and you destroyed it. My house went from $350,000 to $60,000 ... What would the president of Sun Oil, how would he like for his house ... to have this right next to his home?"
Even with those sentiments, Ternove said he simply wanted resolution and asked if some kind of plantings could be accommodated.
Zoladkiewicz said the company would look into landscaping for the Middletown resident.

I'm a Synesthete and My Initials are Brown
Well actually, just the J is brown. The H is more of a light burnt orange, but it's close.
I have a common, harmless condition called Synesthesia. This is a condition where one area of the brain is connected to another, causing a merging of senses. They can vary. Some people associate sounds with colors, or tastes with letters, or even emotions with colors.
I have a common and mild case of Synesthesia. In my case I associate colors with letters and numbers. To clarify, I look at black letters on paper the same way as anyone. But in my mind's eye, I see them quite differently. I didn't even realize this wasn't normal until I was in my late teens. The idea of seeing letters and numbers as black just felt weird and bland to me. They say Synesthetes are creative, and that's definitely true in my case, at least to some degree.
I often get people asking me what the color for each letter is, or for their name. I don't really have colors for words, except sometimes it matches the color of the first letter. Someone recently suggested that I make a chart of all the letters, numbers, and their corresponding colors. So here you go!

The operator of North America's largest power grid says it is prepared to ensure reliable electricity supplies during a total solar eclipse on Aug. 21, when solar power resources will fall temporarily. Although the eclipse will reduce solar power generation, PJM Interconnection expects no power grid reliability issues in its footprint, which includes 13 states and the District of Columbia and 65 million people.
PJM joins other U.S. grid operators and regulators, including those in solar-heavy California, that have also been working to mitigate the potential reliability issues from the upcoming eclipse.
"Certainly, this is an unusual solar event, but as far as potential impacts to the grid, PJM and its members are prepared," says PJM President and CEO Andrew L. Ott. "While this is an anticipated event, we routinely plan and prepare for unpredictable events or things that can't be forecast far in advance, such as severe storms and heat waves."
When the moon blocks the sun on Aug. 21, PJM says solar power generators in its footprint will lose their fuel source in varying degrees from 1:30-3:40 p.m. ET. The grid operator expects a temporary reduction in solar power of up to 2,500 MW, and PJM says it will use its sufficient reserves for replacement generation.
The exact amount of solar power affected by the eclipse will depend on how sunny or cloudy it is that afternoon, PJM notes. Certain states in its footprint will experience a greater impact, including North Carolina, which will experience a complete solar eclipse, and New Jersey, which has more solar PV generation than most other states served by PJM.
PJM says it will ensure sufficient resources are ready to replace any solar generation loss and will refine its analysis prior to the eclipse to factor in the latest weather forecasts. The grid operator adds that its established planning, operations and markets functions have produced a reliable, diverse resource mix that includes natural gas, coal, nuclear, renewables and demand response.
About 500 MW of solar generation is connected to the PJM grid, and another 2,000 MW is generated by rooftop solar panels that serve individual consumers. A reduction in power from the rooftop panels results in an increase in electric demand on the grid. Although growing in the region, solar generation comprises less than 1% of PJM's 185,000 MW of generation capacity.
For context, PJM notes, 1 MW can power up to 1,000 homes.
Because rooftop solar is not wholesale power and, therefore, not monitored by PJM, the grid operator says post-eclipse analysis will provide valuable information for future planning. PJM will also integrate lessons learned from the Aug. 21 event into preparing for the next solar eclipse, predicted to occur in 2024, when the grid is expected to have more solar generation.
According to PJM, Europe experienced a total eclipse in 2015, with no impact on electric reliability because of coordinated planning for the ramping up and down of electricity on the grid. PJM says the last total solar eclipse to occur in the continental U.S. was in 1979, before the rise of solar power. It was viewable only from the Pacific Northwest. Citing data from NASA, PJM says August's planetary event will be the first total eclipse since the year 1257 to begin and end exclusively over the territory that now makes up the U.S.

and the music matches the lyrics well.
The song is about problems, and using a medication or pills to take care of it. It's a deep song, if you really look into it.
i'm not sure what "shoot shoot on the radio" is supposed to mean, maybe expressing the feelings or the troubles into a song, which goes onthe radio.
i think instead of " we'll take care of it" it is "will take care of it."
i love the line " mouth to mouth suffocation"
as if two people, or maybe one person personifying a drug, cut off the rest of their lives except that one person/drug. It becomes the only thing in their life and they close themselves from the rest of the world, as if muffling them away from the pain but slowly killing them at the same time.
the "i need you more than this" couls stand for needing a person or drug more than the life they have, or maybe even needing a person more than a drug and wanting to quit. I think it's the first opition though.
It's funny, i posted this song on my myspace and everyone is falling in love with it. They are a really good band and will hopefully gain more fame with time.

3 weeks later...
It has been 3 weeks since Maddie has been allowed to walk on her leg. She is still pretty cautious with it and limps on i. I am hopeful that in another week or two she will be walking normally. I am surprised that it is taking so long for her to walk normal again. I guess once bitten, twice shy... Need to build her confidence back up. I am just glad we do not have to go back to Dr. Piefer. He was a nice man, but Maddie was so upset every time we went.

Happy first day of summer vacation! I'm thrilled to have the boys home from school - no schedules, ice cream every day, fun bonding times with my boys, swimming, bike rides, the list could go on. My only worry is how to teach them how to work when they'd rather be shooting some alien on the XBOX. Any advice? I think my first attempt is absolutely no devices until chores are done and they've done something outside to improve a talent. Should work for a few weeks!

Sounds like the makings of a perfect summer Cami. Well at least for everyone but the aliens.ReplyDelete

Interview:Healthcare for the masses, or 1984 revisited
This past week I was approached by the magnificent blogger, Merelyme to provide her with a quote for a piece on the new Obama health care plan she is writing for Health Central.
I am happy to oblige, Merelyme, was the first person to add me to her blog roll when I started. and I have grown to be quite fond of her and her baby kitten Mew Mew. I also knew, that even though I do not discuss politics with people in real life or on line, my views on this subject would be, um, well, controversial and perhaps upsetting. If you haven't figured out where I stand, look at the picture.
Anyway, Merelyme has written a great piece about digiitalized health records, and it's a definite must read, And it's fine if you don't agree with me. I think the only one who will was named Eric Blair. Just keep reading me! John D of A Storied Mind is also quoted. He's high quality writing too.
And yes, to answer a question, I really do have flat feet.

I don't know anyone who doesn't agree with you.
I think it's very dangerous to have a database saying one is mentally ill...
I know people who have died and almost died because docs find out they have a psychiatric diagnosis and don't believe they're really sick.
Also those of us who do not want to be treated by the psychiatric industrial complex are at greater risk of forced treatment with such databases in place...
the risk of gross human rights abuse against those of us with psychiatric dx's becomes much bigger with this scenario...
I want off the grid altogether...
this is insanity.

Thank you for the visit and I'm sure of your position, picture or no. :)
She writes extraordinarily well on so many topics and is fortunate to have you as a friend. I'm glad she welcomes varied opinion, even seeks it. She should get it with that post!

@Gianna, thank you , that is how I feel but I am not just comfortable discussing politics on this thing. Maybe I should get over it.
@Paul, thank you very very much and I enjoyed reading your blog this morning.
I will add you to my blog roll shortly when i am feeling better.

I avoid other politics...but shoot my blog is in large part a mental health POLITICAL blog...
we have to care about the politics of mental health if we ever want those of us who are labeled to be treated fairly under the law.
- January 17, 2009 at 2:02 PM
- Marian said...
I agree with Gianna. Actually, IMO, the mental health industry has a lot more to do with politics than with health, and to start and digitally register anything beyond what you mention in the quote in Merelyme's piece (blood type, allergies, and a few more basic informations) equals to me to registering if a certain individual votes democratic or republican. 1984, yeah.

The thing that scares me about it is the mental health side too. Inaccurate diagnoses abound, and people could easily be labeled nationally forever because some inadequate health care practitioner either diagnosed inaccurately or put the wrong code into a computer. *shudder* Is the country ready to pay disability for every single person with a mental health dx too? Because that could happen when employers get into the database. Note that I say when, not if, as in the case of credit reports which now every Tom, Dick and Harry can get if they have your ssn.
Mmmmmph I'm stopping now.
Good quote and good article both.

Isn't it curious that at $2.2 Billion the FDA dummies up about adverse drug events because their computer system is inadequate to process them, but Citizen Activists filing FOIs seem to get that missing data out of the same "inadequate" FDA computers?
While every kick backed pill peddler in the country can and does raid Everyone's records from Anywhere, Everytime they want.
10 years ago I met a guy with a thick Russian accent, and we'd had exactly 2 sentences apiece, when he came back with:
"I be here 6 months and this country more communist than Russia."
I'm currently looking at a hive of psych geneticists in Virginia and one of them listed his co-occuring interest in "Data Mining." Look up who buys the info off your grocery store discount card, then Lose it and get a new one under Jane Smith @ 123 Nowhere St.
Don't worry about being political. This is way, way, Way beyond acceptable to Anyone whose paying attention.

@Gianna, I just have to get comfortable. I don't mind blathering on other people's blogs, for some reason I cannot do it on mine. I'll get there. Don't worry.
@Marian, thanks for agreeing with me. Somethings I don't mind, like on the back of my drivers license lists my blood type and organ donor- and also has a box for diabetes, and of course glasses/contacts. That doesn't bother me- if I am in an accident the paramedics have to know that. But do they really need a list of every trip to the dentist, every yearly gyno exam? It's a slippery slope and I am afraid the ground might give way soon.
@D Bunker- you never fail to amaze me. I learn so much from you my friend. You really knew someone from Russia who said that? My mind is reeling. So according to him, the only thing in the states that is better than over their is our TP?
Sad. And scary. If I still drink, I would pour a Stoli.

Hello. Found your posts very interesting. Drew inspiration from your courage and strength. I have been a depressive for 25 years and recently suffered a major depressive crash. Writing about my feelings has helped, especially with the crushing isolation, despair, hopelessness and suicidal thoughts. All the best.

Earlier this week we learnt that blue eyes are the sole indicator of intelligence. Enough of that frivolity. There's much more serious news in Tuesday's telegraph. I have deleted the appropriate word for sarcastic effect:
But another, sadder thought occurs to me. This attack on basic liberty, which was allowed through without any significant protest, might mark the end not merely of [removed], but of literature.
Oh crap. What have we missed? Did the government ban adverbs? No, literature could survive, melancholily, without adverbs. Verbs, then? Punctuation marks? Serifs? Line breaks?
The true answer is, of course, smoking. The ban on smoking in public places might mark the end of literature.
Well, that's certainly a bold claim. Let us examine the evidence behind it:
I have been racking my brains to find a single non-smoker among the great English poets or novelists of the 17th, 18th, 19th or 20th centuries. Possibly, Keats had to lay off the pipe tobacco a bit after he developed tuberculosis.
Don't think Jane Austen smoked. Not sure Ian McEwan does. Just saying. Otherwise, convincing case. The standard of newspaper columns has certainly already fallen.
