The everyday power of pipelines
What do the following everyday items have in common?
- Band-Aids
- Bicycle, hockey and ski helmets
- Life jackets
- Toothbrushes
- Heart valves
- Running shoes
- Bicycle tires
- Waterproof jackets
All of these items help our families live safe and healthy lives. But that's not the only thing that links them – they also have a connection to pipelines. Pipelines are one of the safest and most efficient means of transporting large quantities of crude oil and natural gas. This crude oil is used to manufacture many of the household products we use on a daily basis, including the ones listed above.
But the connection doesn't stop there. Pipelines, and the energy they transport, play a big role in our everyday lives. From the heat that warms our homes, to the gas that powers our cars, these convenient fuels are made from energy sources that are often concentrated in areas far away from where these fuels are used — this is where pipelines come in.
According to Kim McCaig, Vice-President and COO of Canadian Energy Pipeline Association, the role of pipelines in our daily lives is bigger than we realize because pipelines operate safely and efficiently underground, so we're not even aware of their presence:
"I think most Canadians would be surprised by how much a role this energy plays in their everyday lives, as these pipeline systems are so reliable that they only see the end result."
Pipelines bring the comforts of home
Canada is known for our frigid winters and a toasty-warm home is a welcome respite from the cold. For most Canadians, this comes courtesy of a furnace fuelled by pipelines. In fact, the majority of (90%) furnaces in Canada generate heat by burning a fuel such as natural gas.
But climate control isn't the only pipeline-fed comfort of home – in fact, most of the amenities that make a house a home come courtesy of the crude oil and natural gas transported by pipelines:
"These fossil fuels are key to our way of life – from how we heat and cool our homes and how we cook our food, to the electricity we use and the vast majority of the goods we use to go about our daily routines – these are all created by utilizing this energy," says McCaig.
Planes, pipelines and automobiles
Every day Canadians pull into gas stations to purchase fuel for their vehicles. It's such a routine activity that many of us take it for granted. This on-demand access to fuel is a direct result of the efficiency of transmission pipelines, says Peter Boag, President of the Canadian Petroleum Products Institute:
"Pipelines are an essential component of our fuel supply system. They are a safe and efficient mode of transport for refinery feedstocks and refined products that help ensure Canadians have access to the right fuels at the right place at the right time."
Just how much do we rely on pipelines when we travel? Ninety-four percent of all Canadian transportation energy comes from petroleum products. Whether you hit the road or take to the sky, chances are the vehicle you're riding in is fuelled by gasoline. But the link between pipelines and transportation doesn't stop there: the products that stock the shelves of our grocery and department stores are transported by freight vehicles fuelled by diesel.
Pipelines fuel our economy
Chances are you know someone who works in the pipeline and energies industries. According to a 2011 report by the Petroleum Human Resources Council, these industries employ 186,635 (as of 2011) Canadians coast to coast. And every year since 2007, Canadian pipelines have delivered over $100 billion worth of energy to Canadian energy users and export consumers.
A new perspective on pipelines
Pipelines transport millions of barrels of oil and natural gas underground every single day. We don't see this happening, but we experience the resulting energy firsthand in many aspects of our daily lives, notes Bob Oliver, in his Primer on Energy Systems in Canada:
"We usually focus on where our energy comes from, how much it costs or how abundant the supplies are. It is important to remember that what we are really interested in is what the energy can do for us."
For more examples of how pipelines play a role in our daily lives, check out these diagrams:
The Canadian Energy Pipeline Association represents Canada's transmission pipeline companies who operate approximately 110,000 kilometres of pipelines in Canada. In 2011, these energy highways moved approximately 1.2 billion barrels of liquid petroleum products and 5.3 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. Our members transport 97 percent of Canada's daily natural gas and onshore crude oil from producing regions to markets throughout North America.

The Detroit Red Wings had a hat trick of losses Sunday afternoon. Defenseman Jakub Kindl left the game in the first period with what the team called an upper-body injury. Goaltender Jimmy Howard did not take to the ice for the second period with an unspecified lower-body injury. Then the remnants of the team dropped a 2-1 decision to the Chicago Blackhawks.
The loss was the first of the season at Joe Louis Arena for Detroit backup goalie Joey MacDonald and ended his personal winning streak at seven games. He has lost both games in which he's appeared but did not start.
The Blackhawks opened the game's scoring on the power play, just 3:17 in. Patrick Sharp's shot from just in side the left point deflected off Detroit defenseman Niklas Kronwall's skate and past Howard to give Chicago the early 1-0 lead.
Kronwall answered back for the Red Wings at 6:03 of the period. Darren Helm gained the Blackhawks' zone, jumping around Patrick Kane before circling back as the teams completed line changes. Kronwall stepped up to the blue line to take a pass from Helm and rifle a shot past netminder Ray Emery.
With 1:19 left in the second period, the Blackhawks capitalized on a Detroit turnover to score what would be the game-winning goal.
Wings' defenseman Brad Stuart had the puck behind his own net when he sent a soft pass that was picked up by Sharp. Sharp sent it to the front of the goal to Kane, who outwaited a sprawling MacDonald and slipped a shot past him.
The Red Wings would be unable to even things up, even in the game's final minute with MacDonald on the bench for an extra attacker.
Detroit finished the game scoreless on four power play attempts, while Chicago scored on one of their three tries with the man-advantage.
Howard stopped four of the five first-period shots he faced in the Detroit net before MacDonald took over to stop 12 of 13 Chicago chances. Emery made 23 saves on 24 shots.
The Red Wings' next game will be Tuesday when they visit the Philadelphia Flyers.
Notes: Both Howard and Kindl are listed as day-to-day by the Red Wings... Detroit was already without forwards Pavel Datsyuk (knee) and Patrick Eaves (concussion), as well as defensemen Nicklas Lidstrom (ankle) and Jonathan Ericsson (wrist)... Forward Chris Conner did not play and was sent back to the Grand Rapids Griffins following the game, having been called up in case Todd Bertuzzi was unable to go.
Already down Nicklas Lidstrom, Pavel Datsyuk, Jonathan Ericsson and Patrick Eaves, the Red Wings could also be without Todd Bertuzzi this afternoon when they host the Chicago Blackhawks.
Bertuzzi left Friday's 6-0 win over the Minnesota Wild with a lower-body injury and will be a game-time decision against Chicago. If he's unable to play, Chris Conner has been called up from the Grand Rapids Griffins to take his place.
The Blackhawks, meanwhile, are without captain Jonathan Toews.
Game time is 4:00 PM on FSD.
So we've had the predictable PPG against, an awful turnover turned into a goal against, an ineffective power play, and two injuries. Sounds like an afternoon game, except the Wings actually look a little better than usual.
And Kindl is out now? Bad feeling about this game.
Now Howard's out. Knew I had a bad feeling.
Did they ever end up saying what for? Or is it still a mystery?

Marc Ratner, the UFC vice president of regulatory affairs, spoke about the change at a meeting of the Nevada State Athletic Commission. According to MMA Junkie, he also encouraged the NSAC to change its levels. Currently, state commissions decide their own levels for fights. Nevada, however, is one of the leading states in regulating MMA. If it changes its threshold, other states would likely follow.
Recently, the UFC has had to deal with several fighters who tested positive for marijuana. Pat Healy lost $130,000 in bonuses to a positive test after UFC 159. Matt Riddle had two positives and was cut from the UFC after the second one. Alex Caceres also tested positive in March. With attitudes and laws changing in the United States about marijuana, fighters being punished for marijuana use made little sense.

Congrats Ret!!
Can't beat retirement. You'll be so busy!
Congrats Ret. I was surprised that on both my retirements how I left no discernible ripples in the workforce pond. Within hours it was like I never existed. My ego was pinged but I came to realize that I'm not so important after all. It was a good thing for my soul. Now I look back and can't imagine being obligated to appear at some work place every day. Activities seem to multiply without my intervention. The good news is that these activities are ones I WANT to do.
Every time I start talking about the "old" days I think to myself "big deal, what have you done lately?". It puts my feet back on the ground. :embarassed:
Congrats, make it stick this time....:bier:
Just when I thought I was out.....they pulled me back in
HooYah Ret ! Congrats!
I've just started my 'second' career (one retirement down) so I still have a little ways to go to catch ya..............
Congrats Ret...This time retire for good. Enjoy life and be safe.....
Congrats and best wishes.
I'll send young Anthony over to spray you in the face with the bug spray. :tongue:
Ken, Congratulations! Now, do something fun...after your surgery!
Every time you retire you get to buy a new gun! Enjoy!

THE detective who led the investigation into the 1989 'silent rape' says some police officers at the time may not have believed the victim.
Leslie Marshall was today jailed at Preston Crown Court for six-and-a-half years for the rape in Briercliffe, Burnley.
Detective Constable Lisa Baxter, of Lancashire Constabulary's cold case investigation unit, said her team had to build the case back up from scratch after original files were destroyed.
She said: "A lot of the case files had been destroyed. There had obviously been a decision at some point, not knowing what the developments were going to be, and the advances in DNA.
"Police officers back in the day obviously thought 'well, this won't get detected' and a decision was made to destroy files for whatever reason. That doesn't happen now.
"For the victim, it's nothing to do with the sentence, it's more justification that she was believed because quite clearly there were doubters out there who didn't believe her.
"It has affected her life quite clearly.
"There were doubters within the police as well, unfortunately, back in the day.
"It is a different police culture now than it was back then.
"I'm not saying everybody didn't believe her because the focus of the investigation wouldn't have continued, but yes there were certain police officers involved in the investigation that didn't believe her - at the time.
"I wasn't in the police service back then, but I am aware that the way police officers dealt with rape investigations was different then to what it is now.
"That's not to say she wasn't not completely believed.
"The senior investigating officer was fully committed to trying to identify who these offenders were and it is unfortunate he didn't manage to do that."
Marshall, who was a driver, was arrested for fiddling his tachograph and when his DNA was put on the national database it matched.
DC Baxter said the case would 'never have been solved' without the much-debated DNA database.
She said: "I'm very pleased, more pleased for the victim in this because that's what it all revolves around.
"The fact that somebody has now been convicted and sentenced in relation to her attack brings a lot of justification and satisfaction.
"It's very rewarding but we are very mindful all the time that we have a real victim out there and what their thoughts and opinions are on how the case progresses is at the forefront of what we do.
"How best to approach that victim is looked into very carefully because you just don't know how that person is going to react and who else in their immediate family actually knows now what happened to them all those years ago.
"You can't predict how someone is going to react to the news that after 20-plus years we're coming back to tell you we may have an offender for what happened to you.
"It is difficult now for someone to have to go through the court process, but to have lived with it for 20 plus years and then be facing the prospect of having to go to court, it takes a very strong person to want to do that.
"You can only begin to imagine what it must have been like for her.
"She really didn't know if she was going to come out of this ordeal alive.
"Thankfully she did but then that brings with it another ordeal of having to go through it all.
"Left in the middle of nowhere, freezing cold, having suffered at the hands of these men.
"Knowing that he had done it all those years ago, I'd like to think he was probably just waiting for that knock on the door knowing this was going to happen."
Marshall answered no comment to all the questions during his police interviews and never told police who his accomplice was or his motive.

Anderson Family Genealogy
1 Folder
Return to the Alphabetical List of All Online Finding Aids
Processed by: Lucinda Barnhart, December 2004
The Anderson family genealogy begins with John Howe and Rachel Pindell. Howe and Pindell were married on July 26, 1782 in Cat Fish Camp, Pennsylvania. Howe, a sergeant during the Revolutionary War, moved to New Albany, Indiana in 1810 along with his wife. While in New Albany, the Howe's started their family and Howe eventually fathered fifteen children. In 1834, John Howe settled in Lima, Indiana in Lagrange County. In 1884, Lima was renamed Howe Village in honor of John Howe.
The author of the genealogy narrative, Joseph Edwin Howe, was born near Celina, Indiana, Perry County, May 18, 1886 to Abraham and Letitia Caroline Howe. He received his elementary and high school education in Perry County, and went on to the Central Normal College located in Danville, Indiana where he received an L.L.B. degree in law. After graduating, he practiced law for a few months and eventually attended the University of Wisconsin where he received an. M.A. in education. In the following years, he taught school in Clark Township of Perry County, was superintendent of schools at Cannelton, Indiana, and later spent seven years as principal of schools at Chrisney, Indiana. After his tenure at Chrisney, Howe moved to Evansville where he worked as a school administrator for thirty years before retiring.

Students who have college work study as part of their financial aid award have priority for on-campus employment. The college work study award is the maximum amount the student may earn during the year. The awarded amount is based on the student's need as determined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
How many hours a week do students usually work?
Students are awarded anywhere from 2 to 15 hours per week to work. Some stipend jobs are available. This is when students are paid by the job rather than by the hour. These jobs require certain skills such as working in the theater department, on the radio staff or serving as a resident assistant.
How do students find a job?
Students are responsible for contacting campus employers and finding their own job. A Job Fair is held the first week of classes and student may use the Work Study Handbook as a guide for the various jobs available on campus.
What papers do I need to complete in order to begin work on campus?
You need to have the following papers on file with the Business Office: an I-9 form, a W-4, Direct Deposit form, and a copy of social security card, driver's license and hiring card.
Can I work on campus if I do not have work study in my financial aid award?
Students without work study as part of a financial aid must be approved with the department and financial aid office before beginning work.
How do I get paid for work study?
Students are paid on the 10th of each month beginning in October. Checks are directly deposited to your college or personal account.
What if I don't earn my entire work study award?
Work study money is not spending money. It is a part of your financial aid package; therefore, any money not earned becomes a part of your family's responsibility.
How much do students get paid?
Students earn state minimum wage.
What if students earn more than the awarded amount?
Students who earn more than their job awarded will have that difference added to the student contribution for next year. It is helpful to the student to keep a record of his earnings and plan work hours appropriately. The Financial Aid Office monitors the student's earnings. Government and college regulations stipulate that the student can not earn more than awarded.
What if a student cannot find a job?
Sometimes job openings run out or become very difficult to find. Not unlike looking for a job in your home community, finding a job on campus may require patience and persistence for a while. If a student is unable to find a job, frequent stops in the Financial Aid Office to check current openings is advised. The student can also place his/her name on a waiting list, to be notified through campus e-mail of new openings as they become available.
Can a student be fired?
YES. Hiring and firing is up to the discretion of the employer, not the Financial Aid Office. Each employer expects appropriate work behavior from the students. Employed students should follow the following guidelines to keep their jobs.
- Be willing to work hard.
- Be prompt.
- Present a neat appearance.
- Be cooperative and pleasant.
What about off-campus job opportunities?
The Financial Aid Office does receive job announcements from community employers and individuals. Many requests for Child Care Providers are received throughout the year. All off-campus as well as on-campus information is posted on a bulletin board outside the Financial Aid Office.
What about work during breaks and summer?
There are several departments that offer employment while the students are on break and during the summer vacation. Since students do not have a job award to work during these particular times, students are encouraged to talk to employers about available work. Krammes Service Center, the Admission Office and ARAMARK Food Service employ a limited number of students during these times. Money earned during breaks and summer vacation are not included in the student's job award total.

A stunning KO during the UFC main event on Saturday night is generating big buzz on the Internet this morning. Fabio Maldonado didn't even last 35 seconds in the ring when he faced Stipe Miocic at the Brazil UFC event. MMA Junkie reported on the fight and the rest of the card on June 1. The site reported that Saturday night's bout was the shortest fight of Maldonado's career.
Even with the main event being completed in quick fashion, fans still had plenty to see during the UFC event in Brazil. The winners of the current season of "The Ultimate Fighter" were crowned during the event. The two winners are the 35th and 36th to be crowned from the reality series. In seven of the 12 bouts during the event, the winners won due to a knockout or submission.
For his win, Miocic received a $50,000 bonus after the event. His record in the UFC is six wins and one loss. That loss was by knockout. His MMA record is 12 wins and one loss. The TUF Brazil 3 Finale took place at the Sao Paulo's Ibirapuera Gymnasium, and it was reported that 8,986 attended the event.
Video of the event shared by Canada Journal showed how quickly Maldonado was handled during his bout. A big right hand was behind his fall to the mat, and Miocic continued to pummel him until the fight was stopped by the referee. Miocic was originally scheduled to fight Junior dos Santos during the event, but that fighter had to back out due to a broken hand. Maldonado stepped in to take on the bout with less than a month's notice, according to MMA Junkie.
Will Miocic take on his original opponent at a later date? He was asked if he would reschedule his bout with Junion dos Santos after his win in Brazil on Saturday night. The UFC is not rushing to reschedule the event though. He said the following in a press conference following the event, according to MMA Fighting: "If it happens, it happens. I'm just happy with the 'W' I got tonight. I just want to get back home to hang out with my family."
Miocic also admitted during the press conference that he landed a good punch on Maldonado. The video of the event makes that very clear. What do you think? Did you watch this stunning KO when the event aired on Fox Sports 1 on Saturday night? Share your thoughts on the bout below.

There could be a myriad of health hazards in your home or office that are slowly harming your health that you may not be aware even exist.
Some such hazards are but not limited to are as follows:
Lead-based paint, paint chips and dust are often in older homes built before the known health hazards from smelling lead ever became known around 1977 they stopped painting homes and offices with the dangerous chemical. Living in a home or working in an office that was painted with lead-based paint has several serious health threats to those who dwell there such as: Anemia, brain damage, kidney damage or failure, nerve damage, and even reproductive problems to name a few. If you suspect your home or office was painted with lead-based paint you can hire a home inspector to test for any signs of lead in the home or office.
Mold is often found in homes where moisture-generating appliances are found, and in homes previously damaged by water from flooding. Some types of mold are known to cause headaches, allergies and breathing problems. To help prevent mold in your home or office keep the dwelling clean and dry by insulating doors and windows, clean out your heating and cooling systems, fix any plumbing that is leaking or dripping, look under sinks and around toilets for leakage.

The American mint grows in clusters or clumps from an underground stem in moist places. This mint plant was photographed along our shore line where it grows up through the blue shale rip-rap. The flowers of the American mint form in clusters in axils of leaves, as can be seen in the central plant and in bud clusters in the lower left of the photo. (The larger buds in the upper right of the photo are from another wildflower and not mint.)

Former University of Massachusetts standout goalkeeper Angela Napoli has been appointed UMass Women's Soccer head coach for the 2009 season, Director of Athletics John McCutcheon announced on July 21. Napoli, a 2000 UMass graduate, spent the past four seasons as an assistant coach of her alma mater after joining the women's soccer staff in July of 2005.
"We are very pleased to hire Angela Napoli as our head coach for the 2009 season," said McCutcheon. "As the pre-season is just three weeks away, we feel that it is in the best interests of our program to move forward and give this leadership opportunity to Angela. We are fortunate to have an individual of Angela's experience and skills to provide direction to the program at this challenging time."
Napoli, 31, takes over for longtime frontman Jim Rudy, who announced his retirement after 21 seasons at UMass on May 27.
"I am thankful and honored for the opportunity to lead my alma mater," said Napoli, a native of Longmeadow. "I look forward to the upcoming season and to showing what I can achieve as head coach of the UMass women's soccer program."
Over the past four years, UMass has combined 34-30-6 record, including an 11-6 mark in 2006.
Prior to coming to UMass, Napoli spent the 2004 season at the University at Albany as an assistant coach, specifically working with the team's goalkeepers.
Napoli also served as an assistant coach at William & Mary for two years. While on staff at W&M, the Tribe won the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) title in 2003 and made two appearances in the NCAA tournament (2002, 2003).
After earning a degree in Sport Management from UMass, Napoli spent the 2001 season as an assistant coach at the University of Colorado.
In addition to her collegiate experience, Napoli worked the John Daly Girls Soccer Camp in 2002 and served as the Director of Goalkeepers for the Boulder County Force Soccer Club in Colorado.
She was a four-year letterwinner in goal for the Minutewomen (1996-99), playing in 35 games (27 starts) with a 1.38 career goals against average. In the UMass record book, Napoli ranks seventh all-time in career shutouts (13) and saves (159).
In 2003, Napoli played with the New England Mutiny when the squad advanced to the WPSL semifinals.
A 1996, graduate of Longmeadow High School, Napoli was an all-state goalkeeper for the Lancers. She garnered three all-league nods from the Springfield Republican and posted 10 shutouts her senior season.

text: Hi All, First time on this alias so excuse any redundant questions. We are investigating using vnc to enable our new work from home model. Our department's main use is some CAD software that is fairly graphic intense and we would be using through VPN. What I'm looking for is tuning information and what things are the biggest factors in graphics refresh. How much does the server speed affect the performance vs. the client speed. How does the clients graphic card play in the equation. And I assume the biggest hitter is your Internet connection speed. Any advice or statistics along these lines would be much appreciated.

I am in a meeting with a client later on, regarding an ASP.NET web app we are creating for him. The app includes a lot of 'form' style screens with 20-30 textboxes, and of course a 'Save' button that posts back to the server and saves the data.
The client really does not like this as he is worried users will forget to click 'Save' and lose their data.
While I obviously understand that we can use AJAX to save as the user goes along, I believe this is beyond the scope of the project and is prone to error.
Has anyone dealt with clients like this?

Recap | Box Score
Head Coach Mitch GaspardOpening statement:"We got a great start from Adam Morgan and really for the first time, certainly on the road, we got production throughout the lineup. This game shows what can happen when we get production from the bottom of the order. But more importantly, we put pressure on them throughout the game, even when we didn't score. Miller had a really big day and came up with some clutch hits for us. After they made their run in the sixth inning, I thought the bullpen did a nice job, and Smart did a great job at the end and shut it down with runners on second and third and nobody out." On Miller's hit in the fourth:"I thought that was the key to the game. Obviously we needed for someone other than the top three guys to deliver a big hit. I think when Andrew did that a ton of pressure was released throughout the dugout. You can see from that spot on our at-bats got better and we started putting better swings on pitches. A lot of times that's what it takes to get over the hump and start moving in the right direction. More importantly, to win the game in the fashion we had to win it we competed really hard today and showed something after a poor performance last night. We responded today and came back and competed like crazy and found a way to get a win on the road." On adding the insurance run in the ninth:"Every run is so critical in the SEC when it comes down to the end of a game. It's a big difference between one run and two runs. The way they have to play the ninth, going for two runs instead of one run, they may have safety squeezed the run in and moved the other guy to third. To add the insurance run is always big."On Smart's performance in the ninth:"The one thing about Jonathan is he's got ice water in him and his nerves are really good. He's very solid and has a great demeanor on the mound. The situation was right as they had a couple left-handers in the bottom of the lineup. The one thing he's going to do is throw strikes, and throw a good breaking ball and a changeup. The matchups were really good and he was very confident. He attacked them and threw really good pitches."

if your birthday was on leap day?

I'm thinking I would do March 1st.

A good friend of mines son was born on leap day and they celebrate on feb. 28th so that it is at least the same month but I think that I would do it on March 1st because technically that would be the "correct" day.
That picture is beautiful!

Oh Katie,
You are asking a question I have had on my heart about Brenham for such a long time but afraid to mention. I am thinking maybe do both days as he is so special to have picked leap year. Follow your heart sweetie. It will lead you through.
Love and Hugs, Laurie
- January 25, 2009 at 9:40 PM
I'm delurking (after months of quiet admiration) to say that I think Brenham's birthday should be celebrated on BOTH days. TWO special days for ONE special boy. Why pick one day when you have the perfect excuse to honor Brenham on two days? One day could be reserved for a quiet, family day to reflect on your son. The next could be party for family and friends to honor Brenham. Warm wishes for whatever day you choose but I'm still sticking with BOTH days.

Both!! Someone so special deserves two days of celebration! I have enjoyed reading your blog everyday!

- Gailybop said...
My birthday is on Leap year, as well as my aunts, and we have always celebrated on the 28th. That was the same as two others in my grade who had Leap year birthdays as well! I like to say only extra special people are born on Leap year!:)

Hi Katie...
My son was actually born on Leap Year 2004...
It breaks my heart to think that while I was celebrating my son's "real" birthday last year, you were grieving for yours...and I am so sorry for that.
As far as when to celebrate...I do both days!! I want to do it the 28th because he was born in Feb., but technically his "birth-day" was the 1st! Now that my son is almost 5 years old(well, technically 1 year old)...he tells people his real birthday is Feb. 29 but his "pretend" birthday is Feb.28.! He got the calendar out the other day and was looking for 2-9 on the calendar in Feb. and he goes,"mom, there is no 29 on here!" Ahh, broke my heart! My husband says it is my issue and I need to get over it! haha!
Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers as this day approaches...

I love my birthday so much, if I was born on a leap year I would celebrate BOTH days :).
- January 25, 2009 at 11:01 PM
- tscarter7 said...
I think both days sounds great but if you had to pick only one, I'd say Feb 28 because it's still February. Does that make sense? Bless you both as you anticipate this first birthday of your sweet boy.
- January 25, 2009 at 11:24 PM
- Amber, That's Me! said...
I am going to suggest that on the 28th you celebrate him and his birth with you and on the 1st you celebrate his new life with Jesus. They are both cause to celebrate!
- January 25, 2009 at 11:59 PM
- Soralis said...
I hope you find a day that works for you. I am so sorry he can't be in your arms that day but I believe he is with you.
Take care
- January 26, 2009 at 12:39 AM
I say March 1st because, technically, Brenham was born the day after Feb 28th. Regardless of the number, the day after would be his actual day.

I agree with the majority...BOTH days! I liked the idea from Amber, That's Me! about making the 28th a celebration of his birth with you and on the 1st you can celebrate his new life with Jesus.

What a wonderful idea people have to celebrate both. I say both...one for his birth and one for his crossing over to be with God.
I just have to say how fitting that he was born on a leap year...it makes him all the more special...if that is even possible!
Thinking about you as the day draws near.

March 1st, because it's the day after Feb 28th... if that makes any sense.

This might not be do-able, but I think I'd have a celebration from 11:00pm on the 28th to, like 1:00am on the 1st. That way, you're celebrating his birthday over midnight and you recognize the specialness of the moment between both of those days.

WOW...this is a hard one...I thought about giving some great advise, but you will do what your heart believes is right...You know that you remember and celebrate him in your heart EVERYDAY...just hoping that God will give you the strength to be able to honor his role in your life as a celebration...hard to do, I know...when you miss him so much. We always make a special birthday cake, (depending on the weather) we write a special note and send it up in a balloon...gets me everytime we do it. Silly...I always think, maybe...he gets it.
No matter what you do/day you pick...you are a great Mommie...
Praying for you...Nichelle

I looked on the calendar, and it's Saturday and Sunday. Why don't you do something really special that weekend? A trip somewhere maybe? Then you can spend both days celebrating his birthday. God bless you- you are so strong and I can't tell you how inspiring you are to me. Thank you for sharing your story with us. Your faith in the Lord encourages me to grow closer to Him as well.

I had a friend in school that celebrated his on the 28th.
Someone said a few posts up that you should celebrate his birth on the 28th and his life in heaven on the 1st!!

I think I would celebrate it in February to keep it in the same month. My son is February 28th and he'd love to share with someone so special! I like the idea of both days too. I've followed your blog a long time, Brenham has a wonderful legacy!

My grandma's birthday is Feb 29th and she celebrates on the 28th.

I personally love my birthday and if I had such an awesome one as Leap Year, I would for sure do both! 2 days for a fabulous boy <3 <3 <3

I think that Brenham's Birthday should be celebrated on both days! This way you can honor Brenham on two days because everyone knows how special he is to his Mom and Dad.

I hope it is a pleasant and peaceful day for your family.

I've heard people using either day. If I had the decision I'd choose Feb. 28 just because it is probably easier to identify with the month, then again March 1st... well you know what I'm gonna say.
Just enjoy the day that you choose, and do what feels right. Don't let a neighbor or family member sway you either way. That's our job in Blogland. :)
I can not wait to find out how you celebrate little Brenham's special day.

REVIEW: Full Blooded by Amanda Carlson
Full Blooded is Carlson's debut urban fantasy, and I really enjoyed it. Jessica McClain is the only female born into a pack of werewolves, and with the help of the Cain Myth, which declares she is evil, Jessica is feared among her kind, even those of her Pack. But Jessica has never been full blooded, until now. One night she wakes up in agony and goes through the change unexpectedly, kicking off a chain of events that change her life and those around her forever.
Jessica is dogged by a cop to the point of obsession, attacked by a werewolf intent on killing her, has to fight hordes of werewolves, vampires, and a sorceress. Finds her mate (a complete surprise to her, and to him), then loses said mate, all the while trying to figure out what's happening to her. Poor Jessica. Life is well and truly complicated.
But, what it does show is Jessica's resilience. There's a lot more to her than just being the only female full blooded werewolf in the world. She can also do things that no other wolf can do; she's stronger, can shift half way and still fight with strength. She is an enigma, which causes a lot of fear. Her life is now at risk more than it ever was before.
Luckily her father is Alpha of the Pack, which is one of the strongest sects in the world. Her brother is also an alpha and stands by her side through everything. I really enjoyed reading the dynamics between Jessica and her family and friends. They are really close but also squabble, making their relationships easy to believe and identify with.
Jessica is a fantastic heroine. I loved her as soon as I read the first page of the short prequel novella, Blooded, and continued to love her in Full Blooded. I enjoy her personality, her feistiness. She's snarky but not overly so which is kinda refreshing, but there are many moments when I'm giggling at the things she says. She reads as naturally funny too rather than overly forced.
To be honest I can't believe that this is a debut novel. It reads as though Carlson has been writing urban fantasy for years. I just love her voice. As well as the well-rounded, three dimensional characters, the world building is good too. Not excessively complicated but still has depth, which makes you feel as though you could be there. What I also liked was there was no info dumping. Carlson manages to explain a lot of the Pack politics through dialogue or from Jessica's own thoughts, which made it less boring than it could have been.
Full Blooded is an amazing start to a new urban fantasy series. I love the author's writing style and voice, and Jessica McClain is a cool heroine. I can't wait to read more in the series and will be reading Hot Blooded soon. There is also a short novella, Blooded, which takes place seven years before this book, and it's a fab way of introducing you to Jessica and her world. But you can easily just start with Full Blooded if you'd prefer.
Full Blooded has everything you could want from an urban fantasy. Great characters, plenty of action with some fantastic fight scenes, a little bit of mystery and a dash of romance. Basically this is a great read all round. I can't wait to read the next book in the series to find out what Jessica gets up to next. A great start to a new series.

CARBONDALE, Ill. - Southern Illinois (3-9, 0-1) will host Illinois State (9-3, 1-0) in a New Year's Day men's basketball game on Sunday at 2 p.m.
Head coach Chris Lowery fielded questions from the media prior to Saturday's practice at SIU Arena.
Is Illinois State doing anything differently defensively this year?
I think starting their two little guards out front helps them. The big guys are playing well -- (Jon) Ekey's having a great year, his stats are phenomenal playing the three and the four.
Is it pretty much (Jackie) Carmichael inside and everyone else shooting threes?
He's posting up smaller guys. He's their only inside threat and is really dominating. It seems the bigger the game, the better he plays.
Do you expect Dantiel (Daniels) to cover him?
We don't know yet. (Carmichael) has to see different people. The one thing he does is get tired real easy and comes out. He has flurries where he's unbelievable, they take him out and rest him, and put him back in. When they play him in shorter periods, he gets a lot more done.
Do you feel you have a better chance playing at home?
We feel better. It wasn't a great showing for us coming back from Hawaii. That's why we didn't want to play until today. We asked to play on the 30th and the 1st, and it didn't happen for us. You have to play the schedule you get and we're going to move forward and try to get better.
Is Kourtney (Goff) feeling better?
He didn't practice yesterday. After not eating all day in Evansville and not eating yesterday, we didn't want anybody else to get what he had, so we sent him home.
Did you take a step back offensively at Evansville?
We needed to be a little more aggressive to start the game. We turned it over 23 times against a team that doesn't pressure past the 3-point line. That is knowing when to attack and when not to. When we moved the basketball, we got good stuff on them.
It was something we definitely needed to look at because of Mamadou Seck's activity. Hopefully, that will keep him out of foul trouble. He and Davante (Drinkard) getting into foul trouble the last three games has really hurt us.
Do you feel like you're getting the right 3-point shots?
At certain points we are. That's something we addressed yesterday in practice. The right guys need to shoot threes. T.J. (Lindsay) and Kendal (Brown-Surles) are the guys that shoot threes. Everybody else needs to get it inside.
Is Kendal getting into a rhythm?
We hope so. He had a long layoff. It's playing games, consistency, habits. Basketball players are creatures of habit and doing things over and over will help him.
How has Kendal's return helped the guard position?
It gives you an older guard whose been in there. He has to show more leadership. That's something we've struggled with all year. We have to have more leadership, whether we're winning or losing, it has to be consistent.
Have you figured out your rotations now that you have a full roster?
Stats don't lie and how hard you play, when you look at Josh Swan, his stats aren't great, but his effort and energy are tremendous. Those are things you take into account, too.
Can you talk about how Kourtney has grown?
He's really done a good job of starting our defense. When he's in, we have a lot more pressure to start games. He makes them start at 35 or 40 feet.

Ever been to a night club that runs on solar power? No, because it's a night club, right? Well, a company in Santa Monica called SolarReserve is out to change that. As reported in the New York Times, they have plans to build a "solar farm" in the Sonoran Desert, east of Plam Springs, which would have the ability to store the energy of the day for use at night. You're probably thinking really big
IWhat the plant might look like,
From SolarReserve
rechargeable batteries, but in fact these plants will store the energy in salt.
The planned plant is a solar thermal plant, one that uses focused sunlight to generate heat which is used to make steam and turn turbine generators. The proposed plant works like this: A field of mirrors covering about two square miles is focused on a tower of about 600 feet in height. At the top of the tower is a tank of liquid salt (similar in composition to garden fertilizer). The salt is heated up to over 1000 degrees Fahrenheit and is then transferred into storage tanks that can keep it hot for hours.
When electricity is needed, day or night, the molten salt flows into a heat exchanger and turns water into steam, which turns turbines, which makes electricity, which keeps the beats pumping at the night club. When its heat is spent, the cooled salt is pumped back into the tower to be reheated. Best part? The entire process generates no emissions at all.
This technology has been proven to work at a pilot plant in Barstow back in the 90s, but, according to the Los Angeles Times, "…the complex was shuttered in 1999 when the cost of natural gas fell to one-tenth of what it is today."
One megawatt can power 500-1000 US homes for a year. According to the Wall Street Journal, "The company says plants using this method will be able to generate as much as 500 megawatts of peak power or run continuously at 50 megawatts." That's 24 hours of solar power.
The planned plant would generate 150 megawatts, and is scheduled to open in late 2013, barring complications. For more, visit SolarReserve's web site. They have an FAQ, links to more articles and more on the technology.
