(2008) Yaphet is currently co-starring in the comedy Witless Protection.
Yaphet co-starred with soul music pioneer Isaac Hayes in Truck Turner (1974).
Yaphet claims to have proof that he is the great-great-great-grandson of Queen Victoria. According to Kotto, the Queen's son Albert (later King Edward VII) had an illicit affair with Princess Nakande, daughter of King Doualla Manga Bell, which produced Alexander Bell, Kotto's great-grandfather.
Yaphet wrote, directed, and acted in Speed Limit 65 (1972), in which he played a motorcycle cop.
Yaphet has been married three times, first to Rita Dittman from 1960 to 1975, then to Antoinette Pettyjohn in 1975 to 1988, and now to Tessie Sinahon, since 1998.
Yaphet is 6 feet 6 inches tall.
While filming Alien (1979), Yaphet deliberately provoked fights with Bolaji Badejo, the actor inside the Alien costume, to make his character Parker's on-screen hostility towards the creature more realistic.
Yaphet was nominated for the Emmy for Outstanding Performance by a Supporting Actor in a Comedy or Drama Special in 1977
for his portrayal of General Idi Amin Dada in Raid on Entebbe.
Yaphet was nominated for the Image Award 4 years in a row for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for Homicide: Life on the Street, from 1996-1999.
Yaphet's most famous science-fiction role was in Alien (1979) as Parker.
Yaphet portrayed the first black James Bond villain, Mr. Big, in Live And Let Die (1973).
Yaphet portrayed President Idi Amin Dada in the 1977 teleivsion movie Raid On Entebbe.
Yaphet's name was used by a San Fransisco Bay area punk band.
Yaphet moved from Littleton, Colorado to Canada in 1997, feeling that it would be safer to raise his children there. 2 years later, he saw news coverage of the Columbine High School massacre and recognized some of the children fleeing the school.
Yaphet campaigned for Steve Forbes' Republican Presidential nomination in the 2000 primaries.
Yaphet has written two books: "Royalty" (1997), and "The Second Coming of Christ" (1999).
Yaphet turned down the role of Lando Calrissian, in Star Wars, Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back because he feared the character would be killed off and he would be typecast as a result.
Yaphet has a San Fransisco Bay area punk band named after him.
Yaphet's father was royalty in Cameroon, making Yaphet the son of the Crown Prince of the Royal Bell family of the Doualla region of Cameroon.
Yaphet's son, Steve, is a police officer in San Jose, CA.
Yaphet Kotto: I do have a favorite kind of director, which is the kind who allows me to create. Some haven't allowed me to create and I think by doing that they don't need an actor. They need a puppet.
Yaphet Kotto: I'm afraid that I'm either going to have to write myself something or direct something if I'm going to get somewhere.
Yaphet Kotto: All I'm being offered now are parts that are authority figures. I've done that. And that's not what I want. I want something different.

Michigan Gay Marriage Ruling May Wait Two More Weeks
Detroit federal Judge Bernard Friedman says he will spend the next couple of weeks reviewing the case before issuing his ruling on whether Michigan's ban on same sex marriages violates the U.S. Constitution.
April DeBoer and Jayne Rowse of Hazel Park are challenging the constitutional amendment passed by voters in 2004 on the grounds it violates the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution. The couple also wants to change Michigan's adoption law so they can adopt each other's children.
This week's trial was dominated by testimony from social scientists and other experts about research, or a lack of research, on children in same-sex households.
The state's final witness testified that in his studies in Canada, children of same-sex parents don't perform as well in school as those raised by married parents and testified he thinks homosexuals who don't repent will be damned to hell.
Rowse and DeBoer have been together for eight years. They're raising three adopted children who have special needs, but they may not jointly adopt each other's kids because they're not married.

Willie Nelson Is About to Become a 5th Degree Black Belt
A lot of people may not know that WILLIE NELSON is skilled in the martial arts. He's been doing it since he was a kid and has studied Judo, Kung Fu ... and has a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.
These days he practices the Korean art of Gong Kwon Yu Sul, and he'll be getting his fifth-degree black belt in that discipline on April 28th, which is the day before his 81st birthday. (Feeling like a slug? Me too.)
Don't mess with Willie Nelson. Really. http://t.co/ceHYXCVXVq by @craighlavaty

The U.S. infrastructure for the transmission, treating, storing and distribution of water requires drastic changes because of its increasing inability to sustain the new demands for potable water and water recycling. The majority of water treatment plants in the U.S. are suffering from old infrastructure technology, limited processing capacity and unpredictable weather. The overwhelming pressures on current water systems are forcing municipalities to acquire new technologies despite the funding shortages. Although the demand for infrastructure systems is undeniable, the lack of appropriate funding could undermine the ability of municipal governments to select the most technologically advanced alternatives.
Many U.S. water facilities have exceeded or are exceeding their lifetimes. Because of a lack of funding, resources are constrained, which impedes the installation of the most appropriate technology. However, the absence of any investment will impose an $11 billion annual shortfall for drinking water and a $13 billion annual shortfall in wastewater.
Additionally, $390 billion will be required for wastewater infrastructure systems and building new facilities in the next two decades. One program currently in place by the federal government is the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (SRF) with $2 billion allocated for drinking water and $4 billion allocated for wastewater.
Municipal governments are encouraging private investment and promoting monetary incentives to raise funds for the necessary projects. The driving factors of this initiative include new pressure from the federal government to improve water quality and safety, the increasing water supply costs because of depleted source water, a decline in the quality of raw-water, and the need to replace water distribution and wastewater collection systems for the first time. Municipal governments are also considering the population growth that is overloading current facilities in need of technology upgrades.
In addition, some municipalities have developed water conservation initiatives that include setting irrigation days and creating tax and incentive programs related to environmental and residential appliance upgrades. By 2025, the U.S. is projected to have medium-to-high water stress, which is a measurement of the proportion of water withdrawal rate to the total renewable resources. This will be a challenge for water reuse management technologies that will play an important role in the future as U.S. water shortages worsen.
For example, in the Midwestern U.S., aging sewers often overflow after recurring storms. Over time, this problem will impact the drinking water supply and ultimately the region's public health. Similarly, dam infrastructure—including structural dams and non-structural runoff water management dams—suffers from flooding because of melting snow from the north. Significant upgrades are required to protect the fresh water supply and the general ecosystem from carried-down pollutants. Other states struggle with the opposite problem—water scarcity. States such as Arizona, California, Florida and Texas suffer from depleted water supplies, which are needed continued population growth, industrial manufacturing and agriculture. As many cities in these states are growing rapidly, the states must develop larger capacity to maintain the water supply demand.
The Environmental & Financial Requirements
According to the Environmental Protection Agency's Clear Water Needs Analysis (2004), the wastewater treatment systems in the U.S. require $69.1 billion in investment or 34.1 percent of the required total investment. Water collection and conveyance requires $65.3 billion or 32.2 percent. Combined sewer and overflow correction will need $54.8 billion or 27.1 percent. Stormwater management programs require $9 billion or 4.4 percent, and recycled water distribution is $4.3 billion or 2.1 percent.
The states with the largest capital costs for infrastructure—such as replacement, upgrade, expansion and maintenance—are New York, Illinois, California and Ohio. The states with the largest need for municipal programs for the compliance requirements of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System and Clean Water Act initiatives are Texas, Florida and Arizona. California and Florida have the largest need to implement irrigation systems.
As a result, municipal governments want to adopt emerging technologies that meet strict environmental requirements, have retrofit capabilities and occupy significantly less square footage than traditional systems. When evaluating new water infrastructure technology, the main challenge for municipalities is the cost versus the effectiveness of a new technology or process. First and foremost, the systems must prove to be economical on a life-cycle basis or at least more economical than conventional water processing systems. Second, the system's price needs to align with the allocated funding, and last, the infrastructure system supply must match the demand for the application. Simply put, new infrastructure systems must provide innovative technological solutions at an economical price.

A Changing of the Guard: Traditionalists, Feminists, and the New Face of Women in Congress, 1955-1976
The third generation of women in Congress, the 39 individuals who
entered the House and the Senate between 1955 and 1976, legislated
during an era of upheaval in America. Overlapping social and political
movements during this period—the civil rights movement of the 1950s and
1960s, the groundswell of protest against American intervention in the
Vietnam War in the mid- to late 1960s, the women's liberation movement
and the sexual revolution of the 1960s and 1970s, and the Watergate
Scandal and efforts to reform Congress in the 1970s—provided experience
and impetus for a new group of feminist reformers. Within a decade, an older generation of women Members, most of whom believed they could best excel in a man's world by conforming to male expectations, was supplanted by a younger group who challenged narrowly prescribed social roles and long-standing congressional practices.1
Yet, this group of Congresswomen began to embrace a unique legislative identity and an agenda that distinguished them from their predecessors. Representative Martha Griffiths, a central figure in the passage of gender-based civil rights legislation, vocalized this new mindset. First elected in 1954, Griffiths chafed at the deference senior Congresswomen showed to the traditions of the male-dominated institution. "The error of most women was they were trying to make the men who sat in Congress not disapprove of them," Griffiths recalled years later. "I think they wanted to be liked, they didn't want to make enemies. So they didn't try to do things they thought the men would disapprove of. I didn't give a damn whether the men approved or not."2 More often than not, the women elected to Congress after Griffiths shared her sentiment.

And everyone give your best fake smiles for the camera. I love how Katie is holding the glass of beer but never drank a sip the whole night.
This is Athina Onassis. I haven't seen a picture of her in a long time. Back in the day before the internet this girl when she was literally a toddler she was front page fodder for tabloids all over the world.
At the same event was Martina Hingis.
This is Martina jumping. Well, not her, but getting the horse to jump.
This is Martina after the jump.
I'm guessing when she played tennis it was a little easier. Except for the drug testing and all that.
Is there a reason why Carmen Electra poses like this? It is expected of her? Do people think it is cute?
Love Christina Ricci in this but I am kind of meh about Mandy Moore. Yesterday was much better for her.
Does Daisy Lowe even look like her dad Gavin Rossdale? I don't see it.
I will say though that Georgia May Jagger did seem to get her dad's lips. Jerry Hall looks great.
Donna Summer – Oslo
Lately all of the pictures of Ellen Pompeo show her alone and unsmiling. Has anyone seen her baby?
Harry Hamlin works to keep his intestines in place and
the whole family helps.
Jessica Biel and Isabel Lucas giving themselves a party before they go on a hike. OK, OK it is up Mt. Kiliminjaro but it is still just a hike.
The happiest I have ever seen Jennifer Espositio. Her old drama school invited her back to teach an acting class.
This is JoJo. What does she even do now besides running around in the hat she stole from the Monopoly guy.
I believe John Krasinski is wearing more lipstick than Emily Blunt.
All of you can try and explain Kate Moss' look because I don't get it.
Penelope, Nicole and Fergie. I guess Nicole didn't get the memo about everyone was supposed to wear black.
And later Josh gets nothing but air when he goes in for the kiss on Fergie.
Long time no see Michelle Rodriguez. In her case that is probably good since she is usually in the news only for bad reasons.
Nick and Vanessa Lemon Jello selling some kind of dating game or cologne or something equally as useless.
Love the pictures of Nicole Richie and Joel Madden and family. First thing I would do if I had money or broke into a Chuck-E-Cheese would be to get one of those camera booths for the home.
Reader Photo #1
Reader Photo #2 & 3
Great. Now Paris Hilton has ruined Fraggle Rock for me for all time.
When you sleep with Tiger Woods then what you buy your dog is suddenly very interesting to the rest of the world.
Steve Martin & Rita Wilson.
I love this picture of Reese. She actually looks relaxed. Well relaxed for her.
The Sex And The City poster.
Have you ever wanted to sit in on a Baldwin holiday dinner? I would love it.
Sarah Silverman and honestly she just can't be helped at this point.
A very rare photo of Tina Fey with her husband.
Taylor Swift and her new hair.
And Victoria Beckham with what I guess is a Cleopatra look?
And everyone give your best fake smiles for the camera. I love how Katie is holding the glass of beer but never drank a sip the whole night.

Flowers are blooming, love is in the air, and hopefulness abounds for one and all.
So even by the measure of hopefulness, the Norwegians have been colossally wrong.
My spouse, Jeff Bechtloff, and I were wed during that brief window of hopefulness when same-sex marriage was legal in California.
The hopefulness of it takes my breath away; it makes me cry.
But in the film, he says, "underneath it is a hopefulness and a love letter to the system."
Once more he read over the Colonels letter, with all its good cheer and hopefulness.
After all, there was something contagious in so much youth and hopefulness.
Mrs. Clemens writes of her own hopefulness, but adds that her husband is often depressed.
The hopefulness of her words seemed to have found no echo in his heart.
They had great need of hopefulness and courage, and He sought to inspire them with these qualities.

I'm waiting to find some critical duty ammo.
As far as critical defense, I have had over expansion, it seemed, shooting water filled jugs; a bullet hole in front and a crack in the back. The bullet got through, but, no definite exit point. All other ammo, no matter how much or how little expansion, always left some hole or damage that clearly indicated where the bullet exited.

Re: workbench and java 1.6 ??
I find that things work better (under windows) when I use Wolfram

there is a smarter way to do it on Windows, but this is good enough

Aloha! Sorry for the long hiatus - I can't believe it has been a month already. I'm in Ljubljana, Slovenia right now and it's pretty great. Yesterday was my birthday and that was fun too -- I bought a used mountain bike for 60 Euro and even did heavy squats and deadlifts at Crossfit ljubljana.
I'll spare details for now and just give you a link to my personal site which affords links to my recent travels and photography.

I am more primal than I have ever been - I spend over an hour walking each day - my PR in the past month was 3 hours walking around prague and again in Copenhagen. I don't have access to a refrigerator here in Slovenia but the eggs keep well outside of them and so do my sardines, carrots, bananas and pumpkin seeds. All I need now are brazil nuts and maybe some canned oysters...
Ljubljana is super spread out and navigating to anywhere on bike is sort of hard until I learn the area better -- every street corner looks the same! Today I went and worked out with a buddy of mine at a gym we biked 20 minutes to. He's 25 so he is a great, energetic motivator who is also pushing for another set and a couple more reps. I have high expectations of being in really amazing shape by the end of the year! I lost a few lbs in scandanavia -- down to about 193 last time I checked. Now that I'm in charge of my diet (unlike in prague where I ate out everywhere) I expect full on beast mode!

Ha Ha - well I do try my best to act like one!
And here's my key chain:
Some pics from yesterday's workout at this other, non crossfit gym:
Today did squats and deadlifts even though they were still feeling week from Tuesday's lifts. I had poor sleep owing to some 90% dark chocolate I ate at 10 pm (that kept me up until about 2) and these workouts outside who made a ton of lawnmower-like noise from 6 am on. Did a yohimbine and could still function - probably going to crash later this evening.
After exercise went to the store, downed a liter of kefir and bought three cartons of eggs (they come in 10 instead of 12 here and taste much better the yolk is dark dark orange almost red). Also got some brazil nuts. Kind of happy that mark's blog post from yesterday (10 primal foods that you don't eat enough of) -- actually highlights most of the things I eat a lot of. I still fail on liver, offal though ;[ came back home and ate 5 eggs. What I've been doing is doing 3 yolks + 2 entire eggs -- it gives an amazing flavor without any of that egg-white filler (althought I guess I should probably be eating more egg whites for the protein -- which is hard to get enough of without a refrigerator). In danger of consuming too much fruit since it is convenient and keeps well outside of refrigeration. WIll try to work more veg in. Bought some yelloe bell peppers today which are much cheaper than stateside.
Lots of cute girls on this trip much younger than me - in their early twenties. They are pretty flirty but for some reason I have almost zero interest in pursuing them. Since I will be travelling alongside of them for the next year I just want to avoid any sort of drama!
Only thing I haven't figured out yet in SLovenia is a good place to do yoga. I got super hooked on Iyengar yoga when I was in prague - i describe it as OCD yoga where they are super anal about your position and how you hold them. Very interactive instructors -- I learned a ton and even began the process of correcting my shoulder positions which has already paid off immensely for the comfort of my thoracic spine.ad astra per aspera
Had a pleasant weekend in Ljubjljana - I think I'm finally getting into flow here. At liver and gorgonzola last night (wonderful) and just made myself a tea-like drink with cacao powder and water, stirred patiently with my finger. More bitter than the stuff I was eating in the states but I think that's a great sign that it's full of nutrients and hasn't been dutch processed. Made my egg yolk omlete for breakfast after biking 20 minutes to an exercise facility to do upper body today. Tomorrow is squats at the crossfit gym here.
Went to a water park (called atlantis) here on Saturday afternoon and then watched an outdoor showing of Mad Max in an amphitheater in this castle in the center of town - very cool venue -- they show movies every night there during the month of July.
So my diet is pretty good... but the whole alcohol thing is still throwing me off. Drinking in the social circle is constant and pretty hard to avoid. I'm not much of a drinker because it makes me sleepy and feel kind of gross. But while walking around and exploring water is inaccessible and frankly when I stop at a street cafe and am thirsty a beer tastes better and is more refreshing. The good news is that my activity level pretty much cancels out the calories -- I just kind of dislike the way alcohol affects my metabolism and the way I feel afterwards. I try to consume on an empty stomach so not to feel bloated and so I can feel a sort of effect from it but it's hard to do. I'd like to get super lean for Dubrovnik since I'll be on the beach a lot there, next month - have about two and a half weeks before I head there.
I'm struggling to find focus for work - so many distractions socially and as a traveler. Will be working from my apartment/dorm this week to try and regain it instead of the shared workspace.ad astra per aspera
TFC what do you do for a living? Is there a specific program that has you traveling around like that? I'm quite jealous!
Hey Heregoesnothing - I think you are envious, not jealous! For work, I'm a voodoo sorcerer - VoodooSorcerer.com ; the program that's facilitating my international travel this year is http://www.remoteyear.com ; I don't work for them though - they just organize a place for me to live and work and some extracurriculars and 70 other like-minded compatriots who love to travel and are working remotely as well. The group represents about 15 countries -- I'm older than a lot of the guys on it though.
Today was squats and deadlifts even though my sleep was garbage -- the guy I live by had a party until 3 am and I kept getting woken up by their drinking and fun. Humbug! Also the construction work outside at 6 didn't help. But I did get my ass out of bed early and biked 20 mins to the 7:30 am crossfit class (I just lifted). Almost got hit by a car on the way (had to do a power slide on my 50 euro mountain bike after a car turned around a blind corner). No more catastrophic injuries for TFC!!!!
Ate 8 egg yolks with the whites of about 3 eggs, a yellow pepper, an orange, a liter of kefir (3.5 milk fat%), some brazil nuts and pumpkin seeds and then chased it with my new favorite invention -- cacao and water, mixed together with my finger. Terrific replacement for coffee with easy preparation -- just add cacao powder to water and stir together with your finger. The stimulant within the cacao is similar to caffeine -- but also different. It is very bitter but you can sweeten with protein powder if you have a blender. Give it a shot post work out for a very nutritious pick me up that will feed your chocolate lust!
Speaking of lust... Yeah I need to have sex again. The call of the wild

Found a swimming pool half a mile away from where I sleep - today was my rest day so went and did casual laps for an hour (didn't bring sunscreen and didn't want to get burned) -- so awesome getting up in the morning and getting some fasted swimming in!
Loving my nutrition now. Feel very proud of the nutrients I am pounding in my #nofridgelife
-pumpkin seeds
-brazil nuts
-eggs (and lots of them)
I think If I want to build more muscle I need to increase my calorie intake - I just feel so bloated when I eat more throughout the day and then feel like a flabby flab ass. Espcially in the summer when it's hot outside -- strange because in the winter I go into hibernation mode and have no problem downing a pizza.
I'm not moving as much these days since I'm working from where I sleep (in a private office) but everything else is good and I'm productive with work. two weeks left until move to Dubrovnik and start the whole cycle of building a routine again!ad astra per aspera
40,000 views on this blog - that's a milestone. I guess to celebrate I'll link to the photography site I'm working on
Reid Peryam Photography
I'll plan something more epic for 50k (if we ever hit that milestone).
Squats today after a couple of days of good sleep - did some overhead squats too to see how they felt -- pretty good after not doing them for about 4 months?. Did a few at 155#- not as solid as I would want. I'll try again next week. So hard juggling all of the lifts!
So this crossfit gym I lifted at today - god I have no desire to be doing 20 minute wods anymore. Or even 10 minute! Ha ha - no longer have that innate drive or anxiety that I need to be doing them. I guess part of that is being 35 years old and another part of it is exerting the energy and focus that I used to have reserved for it on work and social stuff as well as other areas of self improvement.
I wanted to recommend this book I recently finished, "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius. Good stuff for any young man or father out there. Stoic zen that got me thinking a lot about the way that I interface work with others. Recommended.
I think once I get to Croatia the access to weights will be scarce. Instead I might be substituting morning, fasted ocean swims -- which really isn't such a bad substitute! I can probably make a ton of progress with just push ups and sit ups - but bro gonna want a pull up bar. I guess you could say my immediate goal for the next couple of weeks is centered around LGN.
Unsure if I've related the story of this other gym I've been going for my upper body days (non squat days) -- it's a globo gym with machines and a couple of free weights - a place I can do curls without being laughed at by my crossfit homies. Well there is this personal trainer there who hates me. He works out at the same time I do and gives me really crusty looks whenever I turn around and see him. I always smile and wave and he acts all weird.
Anyway at gyms in europe it's seemingly rare to find a water fountain - most places make you drink out of the bathroom faucet (strange that water is generally harder to find in shared spaces and in the public than in the states -- you'd think it's scarce). But at this place they have a water cooler, but no cups for it. The cup dispenser is always empty. So two days ago I just unscrew the cup dispenser, turn it upside down, and use it as a cup -- perfect. A while later mr glaring personal trainer comes over and starts upbraiding me in Slovenian -- and then in English -- "That is not what this is for-- CAN I GET YOU A CUP??" yes please! He comes back with a stack of little plastic cups designed for the cup dispenser, hands me one and instead of filling the cup dispenser, returns them back to the storage closet. Thank you! I said laughing at myself and generally letting him feel appreciated for helping me through my embarrassing incompetence. He just kept giving me mean glares. Bro just hates that I do more pull ups at his gym than he does and upscaled the water cup dispenser.
In other news I see why people have girlfriends. When you want sex and can't get any it kind of... sucks!ad astra per aspera

Vodafone tends to be known as the network which charges a premium in return for excellent network coverage and it's looking to once again prove it is worth the money this summer.
Today the monster telco has announced it will begin a multi-million pound investment to extend its 7.2Mbit mobile broadband network to a further three million people across Birmingham, Bristol, Glasgow, Liverpool, Manchester and Reading. Formal rollout is expected to be completed by the Autumn and will mean these conurbations have caught up with London and the country's major airports which were first in line.
"The recent acceleration in the take up of mobile broadband has demonstrated just how hungry consumers are for internet access wherever they are," said Nick Read, CEO of Vodafone UK. "As a result we are significantly investing in our network so that more customers can experience our award winning, fast and reliable mobile broadband network."
Interestingly, Vodafone also casually mentions that it will "simplify the way it sells mobile broadband services to customers" but doesn't expand upon that other than roping back Nick Read to say "From June we will focus on providing additional relevant information with details on everyday usage scenarios, which will ensure customers can continue to make the most of Vodafone's high speed mobile broadband service."
This could, quite frankly, mean anything but as usual we'll keep you up to date with all developments as and when they happen...

You'll never see two dotted eight's barred together like that. Rather, you should have written it as a dotted eighth, then a sixteenth tied to another eighth note. Also, since the 3rd note in the full measure begins on an up beat, it should be written as an eighth tied to a quarter. The math is correct how you did it, it just looks awkward, not how true music would be written.

I'm a little surprised by this, my musical experience is fairly non-negligible (I've played the double bass for 15 years, for instance) and this doesn't look odd to me at all. I wonder if this is some difference between US and British musical teaching - a quick hunt on Google threw up http://www.mymusictheory.com/grade1/lessons/7_beaming.html, which mentions that one can beam dotted quavers (or at least heavily implies it - they beam a dotted quaver to a semiquaver, and say that "dotted quaver have one beam"), but also is apparently a 'UK version'. If this is a case of a difference across the pond, that'd be pretty interesting. Thanks for the vote.

| MSHA's Accident Prevention Program
Safety Idea
Mark Buried Utility Lines
Recently a fatal mining accident occurred when a 992D Caterpillar Wheel Loader operator was in the process of removing rock binder material above a coal seam in preparation for removal of the coal. The loader bucket penetrated a buried 20-inch diameter, high pressure, public utility natural gas transmission line. The loader became engulfed in flames resulting in serious and ultimately fatal burns to the loader operator.
Based on the accident investigation it was determined that the utility company line markers may not have provided adequate location information for the miner while working in the vicinity of the underground utility line. Each curvature in a transmission line may not have been adequately identified by line markers to alert the mine operator of the exact location in an active mining area.
Therefore, the following precautions are recommended to minimize the potential for additional accidents involving accidental contact with underground utility lines:
- Determine the type and location of all underground public and private utility lines.
- The utility line information should be retained and transferred to any future change in mine operators.
- Post for viewing, by all miners, a mine map which clearly depicts the type and location of all underground utility lines within the mining property. The mine map should be located in a convenient and publicly accessible area.
- When active mining operations are in the vicinity of underground utility markers, call your local One-Call Center or the toll-free National Referral Center.
State Specific One Call contact information can be gained using the following link:
Additional information concerning safe excavation practices can be obtained at Dig Safely:
Request the utility company to identify the exact location of the utility line. Temporary line markers should be placed at 20 to 25 feet intervals directly above the utility line throughout the active mining area. The line markers should extend at least 150 feet beyond the ends of the active mining area.

I am trying to be a peaceful, attached parent to my DS, who is 19 months old. I was able to be a full time SAHM for the first 17 months of his life. I am currently working evenings from home for 4 hours, 4 days a week while my DH is taking care of my DS. This is working out fairly well, but for financial reasons I will most likely have to return to full time work next september. My DS will be just shy of 2 and 1/2 at that point. I'm pretty sure he'll be with my mother in law while I'm at work, and she is truly wonderful with him and he loves her dearly.
However, I'm already developing anxiety about leaving him for 35 hours a week. Can someone point me towards some research or any kind of information about the best time for a mom to return to work? I have read a few that say you should attempt to stay home for the first year, others say the first 3 years. It's kind of hard for me to wait until he's 3 because I work in a school and cannot start in April since it's the middle of the school year. We can't really afford to wait until the next year when he would be 3 and 1/2. One positive aspect is that my husband and I have roughly the same hours, so we would all be home at the same time, which I feel would be beneficial to my DS, as opposed to me working part time when DH is home, like I'm doing now.
I know there is no right/wrong here, I'm just wondering if there are any negatives to returning to work before your DC is 3.
Mom to Kevin, : born naturally 4-7-10
From what I've read, most of the "stay home for a year" are geared towards supporting breastfeeding through infancy. I've never seen a study or even news coverage that wasn't in some way linked to breastfeeding/immunity/daycare type concerns.
At 2.5, your DS will have a well established relationship with you (heck, he already does!), and will likely be just fine. It will be an adjustment, but if he is with another family member that he loves and also already has a close relationship with, he'll do even better.
Don't worry about it!
As it was already said, I think being with a family member vs. a stranger is a huge difference. Also,the fact that he'll have one-on-one attention vs. being one of many in a day care center is ideal! He'll do great.
eta: I don't know about an ideal age for a child to be left with someone other than parents. Both of my kids were around 2-2 1/2 when they started being taken care of by other people/daycares. It really worked out perfectly for both of them, so there's my personal experience fwiw.
Single student mama to dd 5/04 and ds 11/07.
I agree with the comment about 1 year being for breastfeeding. I'm just getting a little sad knowing that I won't be there for every part of my DS's day. He'll probably handle it better than me!
Mom to Kevin, : born naturally 4-7-10
Quite a while ago I read the book:
The attachment connection: parenting a secure and confident child using the science of attachment theory by Ruth P. Newton
and I don't quite remember the age she suggested that children can handle increased separation but she seemed to suggest some answers to your question. I do remember that she suggested that another secure attached caregiver is the best substitute (so avoid large daycare centres with high staff turnover). It might be worth seeing if your local library has a copy of the book.
Best wishes!
I agree with this. With my ds, I stayed home with him for 18 mo, then dh stayed for 18 mo.
With dd, we stayed one year each and now at 2 she is being taken care of by her grandparents, who live with us.
I was home with my son until he was 2.5 and then he went to a daycare where he is in a class with 24 kids and 3 teachers and they have a fairly organized day. I was very nervous about it but he has done so awesome. He really loves going, we both love his teachers, it has been such a good experience for both of us.
even if there was research on the best age - i wouildnt buy it. because it all so depends on the child.
plus you know being at the place of acceptance is really helpful. you gotta do what you have to do. its not a choice. it IS heart wrenching but as you said - you'll discover your the one with the issues - not your son.
dd and i both didnt want her in dc when she started at 2. (it was too early for her coz she started at dc for eight to ten hours a day which was too much for a 2 year old. had it been a gma it would have not beein the issue it became). but we had no choice. i sat with dd and told her how much i wish life had handed us a different plate but this is what we have. even at 2 i let her know that i wasnt doing this out of choice. i had no other way of paying for rent and putting food on the table. had i a choice i would be right there with her.
while it didnt take the pain away for both of us - we both realised that we had to do the best we could with what we had.
in retrospect - now that dd is 9, its become a life skill. even when things dont go her way, and she is disappointed - life still is bearable. she figures out different ways to make things tolerable for her at that moment.
however i would pay heed to transition. i would from now on increase a little more time with gma than usual - because transition is the hardest on the kids. and if it feels more normal they handle the distance much more easily. i'd start transitioning 6 months earlier than just a month.
Hi Mrs. T!
Well....I don't really know of any stats/recommendations on the best ages of a child to have their mom start back to work. If I'd had my "best case" scenario, it would have been once they started school, so that I could be working while they're gone...and not have to miss out on anything. But, like you, our family had financial needs, and I had to go back to work, too. If you have to do it, having a MIL available to watch him is a great deal!! And...he'll have lots of great memories of his time spent with grandma, too....and that is priceless!
I struggled with guilt/anxiety (especially at first), but for us, it has gotten easier as we've all adjusted to a new "normal" schedule in our family. There's a book called Working Moms 411 that gives a lot of helpful tips for organization, schedules, and balancing all the stuff we have to juggle as working moms. Best wishes to you as you transition to working full-time....it will get easier as you adjust to the routine. I have no doubt that your son will ALWAYS know that his greatly loved...by you, and by all who take care of him!
I can't imagine there is any real research about the "best" age to go back. I think you can get a good idea from people who have done it at different ages. There is also research on brain development and attachment. I found an interesting article by Richard Bowlby (son of the founder of attachment theory) suggesting that children develop the capacity to deal with separation and form a secondary attachment bond somewhere between ages 2 and 3, which you can read here: http://socialbaby.blogspot.com/2007/04/richard-bowlby-stress-in-daycare.html
He suggests that by 36 months, the left side of the brain, which includes complex speech, ability to remember the past and anticipate the future, etc., becomes dominant. Sometime between 24 and 36 months, they develop the capacity to deal with the separation without it causing a lot of stress. Of course, the exact age will depend upon the child. Of course, if you are putting him in care with your MIL, then he will already have that secondary attachment begun, if not already formed. It will surely go quite well, though there may still be a few tears in the beginning (for both of you). Of course, as others have suggested, definitely start increasing the time with MIL bit by bit, if possible, to help things go more smoothly. Your confidence that the situation is good for him will also help. He will be so much better off in this type of care situation (one-on-one with family) than if he were to be going to day care (which, of course, can also be okay, as long as it is the elusive, high quality type).
My DS1 was definitely NOT ready to be in a group care environment at 24 months to deal with day care (we tried, but then we found a nice SAHM to watch him with a little companion and he did quite well). We started him in preschool M-F at 45 months and it went perfectly -- he loves it (it is also a very nurturing one)! He still has some difficulty separating from me in other situations, but never with his preschool.
You've done great by staying this long! Good luck!

DS1 (6) , DS2 (3) , DD is here!
Thank you, that is what I was looking for. I am definitely not ready to leave him all day every day, and he gets very clingy when I'm working my part time job. He spends a lot of time with my MIL, she is the only babysitter he has ever had and we see her once a week or more. I really wanted to know at what age it would be the least stressful for him.
Thank you everyone, for the helpful replies!
