grounding switches in old work plastic two gang box
I have a two gang old work plastic switchbox inside my home's front door. One switch in that box is unipole and drives porch light. Second switch (let's call second switch "foyer light switch") in the 2 gang box is one of three switches in the home where the foyer light can be controlled (two other switches are on second floor in two separate locations). I just replaced the foyer light switch near the front door with a dimmer, and it works great. OK..question is almost here.... Like a newbie (which I am) I did not pay scrupulous attention b4 I started as to whether the ground wire in that two gang by the front door was connected only to one of the switches or was connected to both of the switches. As I write, ground wire is connected to the dimmer switch (only). The ground wire attached to the dimmer arrives at the dimmer through a hole in the plastic cap that sits on a twisted bundle of ground wires. The unipole switch driving the front door light has no ground hooked to it. Question - Do I need to ground the second switch...and if so, how should I do that ? thx
thanks InPhase277. I appreciate the quick reply
Little trick if you have another wire nut (cap) with a hole in the small end, and the ground wire end that went to the dimmer is long enough.
Slide the new wire nut down the ground wire and use it to hold one tail (pigtail, additional short length of bare wire), and now you have two ground wire ends for the dimmer switch and other switch respectively.
Don't undo the first wire nut with the hole and covering the first twisted group of ground wires.

Question: My wife and I own a 21/2-storey house in the West End, and we need to replace the roof in the next couple of months because it is leaking. The fir planks underneath are in good condition, according to an inspector who looked at them from the inside, so only spot repairs will be made to specific boards that may be rotting. We plan to have all the shingles removed, a proper waterproof vapour barrier laid down, and then if we can afford it, have a metal roof installed directly onto the vapour barrier surface. There will be no strapping and therefore no gap between the metal and the sheathing or vapour barrier. My question has to do with venting and keeping the third floor cool.
I had an estimator from a local company come out, and he suggested that I didn't need anything apart from the ridge vent on a metal roof, and that we may not need any roof vents if we only go with shingles. The reason being that we plan to gut the entire third floor and do a good layer of spray-foam insulation inside before finishing it with two bedrooms and a full bathroom. I am far more concerned about keeping the third floor cool in the summer rather than warm in the winter. Right now, with the insulation being sawdust stuffed up behind the plaster walls between the roof joists, it is an absolute sauna in the summer. I would have assumed we'd need to vent like crazy to stop the buildup of hot air, and we even considered putting bathroom exhaust fans, vented out to the exterior via roof vents, in all rooms on the third floor just to give us a way to clear out the hot air.
The finished third storey will have a three-foot knee wall on the exterior wall of each room, but it won't be a sealed wall because we plan to build drawers and shelves into the knee wall.
Thanks for your help, Bjorn Radstrom.
Answer: Many homeowners confuse attic ventilation with proper air flow through the interior of a house. Both have some similar functions in summer, but also differ in fundamentals during the heating season. I will expand on this and suggest the proper methods for insulation of the upper floor of your home.
Most attics in our climate can be effectively ventilated with a combination of passive vents. These vents on a typical hip or gable-style roof may be located either on the peak or the roof, in the soffits or at gable ends. Passive vents normally work by a combination of convection and wind. In most cases, warm air that collects in the attic under a peaked roof will rise and vent out through roof vents. This will often be aided by cooler air that is drawn in through the soffits, which helps push out the warmer air as it rises near the peak. Gable vents can also aid in some houses by allowing wind to blow through attics, removing stale, damp air that may be stagnant if minimal soffit ventilation is available. All of these factors are important on very warm, summer days, but are critical in the cold winter to prevent condensation and moisture damage in the roof system.
While these attic vents will help cool a hot attic in the warmer months, this may have little effect on the interior air quality or temperature. Because warm air rises, the heat from a very warm attic will not heat up the upper floor, except for some possible radiant heat in a very poorly insulated ceiling. Adding more attic vents should have little cooling results for your upper floor. Adding high-density blown-in foam in the attic, roof system, and wall cavities may provide some more relief, but will not provide the results you desire. That is because warm air will also rise inside the home, just as it does in the attic. If your house walls are poorly insulated, and doors and windows older and leaky, warm air from outside will work its way into the living space. This air will heat up further from passive solar heating and indoor activities and will rise to the highest point in the home, the upper floor. Opening strategic windows to vent some of this warm air will help, but is not the final answer.
The only way to cool the upper floor of your home is with mechanical means. This will require the use of either window or central air conditioners, especially on the upper floor. Even with good insulation and ventilation on the upper floor and attic, interior air currents within the home may make the upper floor unbearable on hot summer days. Air conditioning on the upper floor will cool and dehumidify this warm air, allowing it to slowly fall to the lower floors. This cooler air may even help to reverse the normal convective currents within the home, making the entire building more comfortable on the hottest days.
Adding roof vents to the upper portion of your currently designed roof system will be important, but future needs will depend on where you are planning on installing the new foam insulation. If you leave the small, flat ceiling in the upper floor and insulate this area as well as the rest of the space in between the rafters, the vents can stay. But if you are planning on removing the ceiling and changing to an insulated, vaulted ceiling, there will be no need for vents as the entire roof cavity will be filled with foam.
While it may seem odd with a very old home such as yours, air conditioning may be the only effective way to make the upper floor cool enough for your liking in the heat of the summer months. Insulating the roof system with modern foam and adding attic vents may make sense for many reasons, but it will not make the upper floor much cooler in July and August. Only mechanical air conditioning will provide cooler, dryer indoor air for your living space.

Police investigating alleged child sex abuse by the late BBC star Jimmy Savile have identified around 300 possible victims, making him one of the worst offenders in British history, a senior officer said Thursday. Scotland Yard is preparing to arrest other suspects over allegations they acted alongside the veteran television presenter, who died last year aged 84, Commander Peter Spindler said. The claims against Savile have plunged the BBC into crisis and destroyed the reputation of the man who, with his garish tracksuits and ever-present cigar, was one of the most famous faces on British TV for decades. The inquiry was a "watershed" moment in the investigation of child abuse in Britain, Spindler said. The platinum-haired Savile was "undoubtedly" one of the most prolific sex offenders in recent British history and the weight of evidence from the victims against him was overwhelming, Spindler said. "We have to believe what they are saying because they are all saying the same thing independently," he said. All but two of the alleged victims were female, he said. Officers had spoken to 130 of the 300 victims who had come forward and formally recorded 114 crimes. Scotland Yard is believed to have investigated an allegation of assault on BBC premises in the 1980s but officers have not found the original file, he added. He said police had not yet arrested or interviewed any suspects but Scotland Yard was "preparing an arrest strategy". "There's Savile on his own, and that's the vast majority of what we're being told about, (then) there's Savile and others. And it's the others, if they're living, we can look at them." There was a third category of abuse that police were looking at which involved people other than Savile committing abuse, he said. Savile was one of Britain's top broadcasters and presented a string of programmes that brought him into contact with children -- most notably Jim'll Fix It, in which he made the wishes of youngsters come true. His work for various charities brought in millions of pounds and earned him knighthoods from Britain's Queen Elizabeth II and the Vatican. But the abuse allegations that emerged since his death in October 2011 have destroyed his reputation. The state-funded BBC has launched two inquiries into the scandal. One is into how he was able to get away with the abuse, and the other is into why a programme investigating his activities was dropped. Chris Patten, chairman of the BBC Trust which oversees the BBC's work, said on Thursday that the broadcaster had been engulfed by a "tsunami of filth" because of the Savile claims. It took a rival channel, commercial broadcaster ITV, to go public earlier this month with claims from several women that they were abused by Savile when they were young. Rumours about him had been circulating for years. Britain's director of public prosecutions announced on Wednesday that he had ordered a review into a 2009 decision not to file charges against Savile after pupils at a school for disturbed children alleged he abused them. Earlier Thursday British newspapers reported that police investigating the Savile case had been passed the names of three doctors accused of sexually abusing children. The doctors worked at hospitals where Savile is also alleged to have molested young and vulnerable patients while carrying out charity work, the Guardian and the Daily Mail newspapers reported. But Spindler said they had not yet received those allegations.

LAS VEGAS (May 2007) — The National Automatic Merchandising Association Spring Expo, held April 11-13, lived up to its theme – "Making the Right Moves" – at its new Mandalay Bay Convention Center venue. The convention and trade show, previously held at the Las Vegas Convention Center and surrounding hotels, was brought back under one roof for the first time since 1968.
Dan Mathews, NAMA's senior vice-president and chief operating officer, said the show's "high energy and outstanding buzz" were sparked by increased operator turnout and 7% more exhibitors than last year. The trade show exhibits featured an extensive display of cutting-edge technology, innovative equipment and the newest products and services for the vending, coffee service and contract foodservice industries.
NAMA's Supervisor Development Program, launched last year, was again one of the most sought-after educational opportunities at the Spring Expo. The four-day program, which began a day before the official start of the convention, is designed to provide supervisors at all levels with tools, goals and training to help them become effective team leaders. Topics covered include decision making, time management, communication, personal selling skills, working with customers, safety and security, food handling and an accounting overview. The program will again be available at the 2007 National Expo in Chicago from October 9 through 12.
The perennially popular day-long Quality Coffee Certification Program, held on Wednesday, was sold out for the 17th consecutive time. Registrants learned the history of coffee, its progression "from the bean to the cup" and the factors that influence the quality of brewed coffee. The ability to provide consistently excellent coffee is a skill that can help distinguish QCCP graduates from their competitors.
Asked to grade the workshop on a scale of 1 to 5, participants' overall rating was 4.78, Mathews reported. "This is truly outstanding and a tribute to the highly professional presenters," he commented. The ongoing program also will be offered at the National Expo in Chicago.
Also on Wednesday, Brad Bachtelle and Gary Terrell of Bachtelle & Associates returned by popular demand to repeat their in-depth seminar on category management, initially presented at the NAMA National Expo in Orlando last fall (see VT, December 2006). At the session, Bachtelle and Terrell discussed the fundamentals of category management and explained in detail how operators can apply its principles to improved merchandising in order to maximize sales from every machine on location.
The convention program formally got under way on Thursday, with the opening general session welcome address delivered by NAMA chair James H. Terry II, vice-president of national sales for Coca-Cola North America. He reminded participants that today, as never before, "the consumer is king," a fact to bear in mind while touring the trade show exhibits.
Terry emphasized the importance of taking the time to access real-world data on consumer purchasing preferences to make the decisions necessary for successful retailing. "We're in charge of 'vending stores,' and we need to market to the consumer and deliver convenience day in and day out," the Coca-Cola executive urged.
The speaker stressed the importance of convenience to the vending consumer, citing consumer research conducted by Harris Interactive for NAMA that ranked convenience and value as the primary drivers of the consumer vending experience. The results of the study, first presented at NAMA's National Expo last fall (see VT, November 2006) with a repeat session held during the Spring Expo, also confirmed the long-known importance of branded product in guiding consumers' purchasing decisions at the vending machine, Terry pointed out.
Critical to the industry's future success is its ability to stay in step with a swiftly evolving market. "You have to keep your fingers on the pulse of today's workplace," Terry continued. "Manufacturing is down, but there is great opportunity in education, healthcare and professional and business services."
Likewise, operators must rethink their one-size-fits-all approach in order to cater to the various sectors of an increasingly diverse consumer base. "There's an enormous Hispanic market that keeps growing; you have Baby Boomers moving into later retirement," the speaker instanced. "We can't just sell what's easy; we have to sell what consumers want to buy. We need to shift to a more consumer-first strategy in marketing and category management."
Terry pointed out that dark chocolate is "having its day in the sun" and that consumer research indicates fresh fruit is among the top healthy items in demand. "You have to get the right mix to satisfy these demands," the speaker emphasized. "Study NAMA's Balanced for Life materials and use the consumer marketing materials available to reinforce the positive role of vending."
Vendors must also take initiative in bringing consumers up to speed on the available technological advances that enhance the vending experience, Terry advised. Harris International's survey determined that consumers have only a 15% awareness level of new technology in vending.
"The application of available technology can dramatically increase purchases, and research confirms that customers are more willing to use cellphones and credit cards for purchases," Terry noted. "Incorporate cashless technology, and tell consumers that it exists – or we're sending the message that we're behind the times and are a less-worthy shopping option."
Terry introduced Larry Felix, director of the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing, who led off his keynote address by crediting NAMA for voicing the industry's concerns about changes to U.S. currency and initiating the close collaboration between the Bureau and payment system manufacturers that has smoothed the transition as new currency rolls out.
"NAMA reached out to us and has been a great partner, and we look forward to deepening our relationship," said Felix. "We have the mutual goal of facilitating commerce by making transactions as seamless as possible."
The BEP director explained that the Treasury has accelerated the pace of banknote redesign, and that this trend will continue. "In the past, we didn't have color copiers and scanners that could faithfully duplicate any printed image in any home," Felix commented. "A counterfeiter's level of technological savvy had to be much higher in the past than it is today. Digital photography is driving technological sophistication into the home. People today readily manipulate photos – this process used to require a highly skilled graphic professional," he remarked. "Cellphones today have built-in cameras, and your average consumer has image acquisition and processing capabilities that once were possessed only by professionals with years of training."
The most insidious contributor to counterfeiting, he added, is the Internet, which enables counterfeiters to conspire, share information and purchase supplies without leaving their homes. In the past, counterfeiters had to purchase large quantities of toner and specialty paper stock face to face with a store clerk, which aroused suspicion. Law enforcement depended upon store management to bring these "red flags" to their attention. The Internet has moved counterfeiters off the radar screen.
"All of this is forcing the Treasury to redesign at a faster and faster rate," Felix pointed out. "These frequent changes will have a significant cost impact to you, which is something that can't be helped, but I'm committed to making each of them work the first time, every time."
Currently, the BEP is planning a new $5 banknote that will be unveiled to the public in the fall and enter circulation next spring. "Based very much on NAMA input, we weren't planning to redesign the $5 note at all, but the counterfeiters started lifting the '$5' off and replacing it with '$100.' The security strip on the $5 note was very close to where it is on the $100 strip, so when clerks held it up, it looked OK," Felix explained. "The note will change and this will have a cost to you, but we intend it to remain a 'legacy' note from here on out unless its integrity is compromised."
BEP designed the new $5 notes specifically for interaction with machines, with hard lines and easily recognized features that facilitate authentication. "You'll have the software six months before the notes are issued, and we're open to continued discussions with NAMA as we move ahead," the speaker assured audience members.
At the end of 2008, Felix added, the BEP will unveil a newly redesigned $100 note.
To the benefit of operators of vending machines and other unattended point-of-sale devices, the BEP is currently looking into the feasibility of applying a protective coating to banknotes that would extend the useful life of the notes and facilitate their acceptance.
The BEP director recalled that 25 years ago, efficiency was the driver of currency production, while today the focus is on flexibility to quickly adapt in order to safeguard the integrity and ease of use of U.S. currency. As a result, the BEP is upgrading its production capabilities with new presses for all of its notes. "There is a possibility that there will be slight modifications to the inks, and we hope your machines recognize them," he noted. "We will provide notes to machine manufacturers as we move ahead, and will reevaluate our approach should any issues arise."
A looming concern to the BEP, and one with potentially serious implications for the vending industry, is the lawsuit filed by the American Council of the Blind against the U.S. Treasury Department (see VT, December 2006). In his decision, Judge James Roberston of the Federal District Court for the District of Columbia found that the U.S. system of banknotes discriminates against blind Americans because all notes are the same size and otherwise indistinguishable by touch. He has ordered the Treasury Department to begin discussion of possible remedies for this discrimination, suggesting that these might include different sizes of note for different denominations, raised numerals and/or perforations.
"The Treasury is concerned about the blind community and is looking for ways to help them to more readily identify their currency," Felix concluded. "Tactile features don't work in bill acceptors and won't help the blind or the industry, so we are looking for a better approach. If the judge rules against the Treasury, we may have to produce currency in different sizes. If it does happen, NAMA will be involved as a very important stakeholder."
Next to take the podium was master raconteur Dr. Dale Henry, who established the upbeat tone for the show with a rousing presentation entitled "How To Get Your Whack Back." Participants were energized by Henry's humorous approach to identifying the warning signs of being "out of whack" and knowing how to restore it in order to help team members perform better, have more fun and improve communications in their businesses and personal circles.
An expanded repertoire of educational offerings began Thursday afternoon with a presentation on the findings of the comprehensive vending consumer research project conducted by Harris Interactive for NAMA. The first consumer study on the vending industry in more than 10 years, it provides the latest data on perceptions, expectations, usage patterns and habits, barriers to vending machine use, pricing and awareness of alternative payment systems and new products.
Concurrent sessions on Friday morning included the Coffee Service Forum, with Newco Enterprises' Steve Hyde moderating a panel of industry leaders who fielded questions covering OCS sales, service, operations and route delivery.
During "What America Drinks: Trends in Beverage Consumption," Beverage Marketing Corp.'s Gary Hemphill offered a detailed overview of current beverage trends and predictions for the future (see Page 1).
NAMA Endowed Professor Michael Kasavana led a discussion by a panel of experts on "Understanding Remote Machine Monitoring." Panelists included Mandeep Arora, Cantaloupe Systems; Bill Lockett, Crane Streamware; Gene Ostendorf, inOne Technology; and Warren Phillips, Validata Computer & Research. They offered updated overviews of their respective remote data collection and remote machine monitoring applications, using wired and wireless networks as well as Web-based interactive analysis.
Rounding out Friday's educational agenda was a presentation by Bachtelle & Associates' Brad Bachtelle and Gary Terrell on "Managing For Improved Profit: An In-Depth Look at Your Financial Decisions." The industry veterans examined vending's profit history and the opportunities available for operators to manage their businesses to deliver better profitability.
"Hot Topics" presented at the NAMA booth in the exhibit area included "Energy Star: Selling Energy Efficiency" by Shawn Shaw of The Cadmus Group; a presentation on NAMA's new Foodservice Operating Manual, created to assist members in operating onsite foodservice, by NAMA Knowledge Source Partner Jerry McVety, McVety & Associates; "Everyone Profits with Better-For-You Choices in Vending," led by Lori Valencic, Med, RD, LD, another NAMA Knowledge Source Partner and advisor to the Balanced for Life program; and a presentation by Larry Eils, NAMA senior director or technical services, on the association's Crisis Manual, which takes operators step by step through developing their own plans for survival and recovery in the event of disaster.
Plans are underway for the NAMA National Expo, which will be held Wednesday through Friday, October 10 through 12, at the Lakeside Center at McCormick Place in Chicago. Information is available online at vending.org.

Welcome to my website. I hope that you find something of interest!
Born and bred in Edinburgh, I have been writing for as long as I can remember, mainly books with a historical background. However, I began to become more serious about the process after I graduated from Dundee University as a mature student in 2001.
My main theatres of interest are in the nineteenth century and in the connection between historical reality and folklore and fantasy. At present I am exploring two themes in the nineteenth century: crime and the Scottish whaling industry. Crime had always been present but the rise of industrialisation in the 19th century raised fears it could spiral out of control. That led to the creation of professional, uniformed police forces, with Glasgow being the first in 1800. I have covered that in Glasgow: The Real Mean City. There were also plain clothes detectives such as my fictional James Mendick in The Darkest Walk and the second in the series: A Burden Shared: the Dundee Murders. My non fiction crime books cover Dundee, Glasgow, the Highlands, Aberdeen, Scotland as a whole and Liverpool.
Whaling was a Scottish industry that employed thousands and brought home blubber for oil and baleen that had a hundred different uses. It was a savage, bloody business that cost hundreds of lives and scores of ships. In Whalehunters I examined the lives of the men who went whaling. My fictional Whales for the Wizard won the 2005 Dundee Book Prize with its portrayal of the Dundee whaling industry in 1860. In July 2013 year Dundee University Press published my The Dundee Whaling Fleet that covered the ships in more detail. I wrote about the Fraserburgh whaling industry in the [Kindle only] A Wild Rough Lot. In November 2013 Black and White publishing, in conjunction with Dundee Museum, bublished Ancestors in the Arctic, a pictorial history of the Dundee whaling industry, with pictures exclusively from Dundee Museum.
Folklore and the fringe area between reality and perception also fascinates me. I have written about nautical and natural folkore, while the fictitious Mother Law combines both history and the supernatural. I have plans for another along the same lines. My Shadow of the Wolf [Creativia] is a historical fantasy based loosely on the exploits of Alexander Stewart, the Wolf of Badenoch.
If anybody has any questions, queries or comments, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Top-up fees of £3,000 would have made four out of five current students reconsider their choice of university, according to the latest poll into student life.
While nine out of 10 students told the annual Mori poll into student attitudes that going to university was a worthwhile experience, more than half felt top-up fees would have made them think twice about where they went.
Seventy-nine per cent of current undergraduates said they would reconsider their choice of university "to some extent" if the fee was £3,000.
Working-class students were more put off by the thought of higher fees, with 44% saying they would have "definitely" chosen a different university, compared to a third of middle-class students.
The survey for student accommodation company Unite, based on 1,065 responses, showed student debt had increased by 43% in less than four years and that students were borrowing more from credit cards and commercial loans. Just over half of students said they were receiving some financial help from their parents, but most were paying this towards tuition fees.
Out of the 43% of students with term-time jobs, 70% said they needed to work to pay for essential living expenses. Students also found their debts harder to manage as they progressed through university, with 69% of final year students struggling to pay the bills. More students felt that they would have to work straight away after graduating rather than travelling.
Nicholas Porter, chief executive of Unite, said it was it was clear that students had accepted debt as a way of life, but not all of them had the knowledge to cope with their finances:
"Managing finances and debt have become defining features of the student experience, a reflection perhaps of today's wider society. Many students are reporting a worrying confusion over sources of funding and a lack of financial awareness, leading them to choose expensive forms of debt such as bank loans and credit cards," he said.
Both the government and universities denied the survey showed student opposition to variable fees and pointed out the high levels of satisfaction among students with their education. A spokesman for Universities UK said:
"This consistently high satisfaction rate is hugely encouraging to see at a time of great debate over the value and future of UK higher education." They pointed out that the survey was conducted before the details of the graduate contribution scheme had been released, but that even at this stage 55% of students said that they would still have chosen the university they were currently at, even if they were to charge a higher fee.

The Truman Heartland Community Foundation's "School of Philanthropy" had an exciting field trip on Saturday April 12 Our Youth Advisory Council students from 14 area high schools participated in an incredible service project with a goal of filling box truck full of food to be donated to the Community Services League and their eight area food pantry locations…and fill the truck they did.
We had teams of students working from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on a beautiful spring day outside the Hy-Vee at U.S. 40 Hwy. and Noland Road. I had the pleasure of being there for just a few hours to assist them, and what an incredible job they did reaching out to our community to provide food for the hungry. Throughout the day many of our 150 student members participated and they all did a great job and enjoyed their service.
The foundation is very proud of all the students involved from these 14 area high schools and their success with filling the truck. It's great to witness teams of students from different schools come together for a common goal. Typically, when these schools come together it's focused on competition. Our School of Philanthropy gives them a rare opportunity to work together as one big community team to support great nonprofits in our area, like CSL.
Doug Cowan, CSL's president and CEO has declared this the most successful one-day food drive in the organization's 98-year history. "Our unending thanks go to the outstanding young men and women of the Youth Advisory Council. Our Eastern Jackson County community is stronger because of their commitment to alleviating hunger."
The Fill the Truck food drive would not have been successful without the dedication of Henri Goettel our Youth Advisory Council Coordinator, Hy-Vee and its managers.
This week we had two orientations for new students who are interested in joining the Youth Advisory Council and had more 150 attendees including their parents. It's strong evidence that our young people truly do want to serve our community when we invite them to get involved. Let's all look for more opportunities to invite them.
Next up for the Youth Advisory Council is assisting our grants committee with our annual Community Grants program. They help us make better decisions on grant requests for programs serving youth and will be actively involved throughout the summer. There is no summer vacation for the "School of Philanthropy."
Phil Hanson has been the president of the Truman Heartland Community foundation since January 2010. Raised in the Raytown area he went to Rockhurst University for his undergraduate and UMKC for his MPA.

Snowfall prompts fear of disruption in England
Snow began falling in parts of southern England late yesterday, prompting fears of ice and disruption in today's rush hour.
There was expected to be a covering of up to six centimetres in some areas.
Paul Mott, a senior forecaster with MeteoGroup, the weather division of the Press Association, said: "We are starting to see some snow in the south Midlands and over the hills of Surrey.
"There was snow earlier today over parts of Scotland and northwest England, mostly over the hills. We expect to see snow over northern parts of southern England, north of London, up towards the Midlands, and North Wales, and there are likely to be 2cm-5cm of snow in places overnight." The falls are expected to stop today, but the accumulations could still cause widespread disruption for several commuters.
More light flurries are predicted for today and tomorrow, after which the rest of the week is expected to turn milder.
Thousands of passengers have been stranded in America after flights to Britain were grounded when a massive snowstorm hit the US east coast. Heathrow Airport said 10 inbound flights – all from New York and Boston – were cancelled yesterday, as was one outbound flight, to Washington.
British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, Delta Air Lines, United Airlines and Air Canada were all forced to cancel flights yesterday, Heathrow said.
Passengers were advised to check with their airlines to see if their flights are affected.

A furious fourth-quarter comeback attempt by Taylor County came up just one play short, as undefeated Class 5A Wakulla escaped with a 20-14 victory over the Bulldogs Friday night in Perry.
Wakulla scored a single touchdown in each of the first, second and third quarters to build a 20-0 lead, but the Bulldog defense shut down the War Eagles in the second half – holding Wakulla's vaunted offense to just 44 total yards in the final two quarters and forcing three second-half turnovers.

Atlanta Weather-Ready Nation Ambassador Moves City into Gear; Making the Metro-Region More Resilient
Date Posted: June 10, 2014
Though many areas already are feeling spring or summer-like conditions, only a few months ago Atlanta, GA—the 9th largest metropolitan area in the United States—was brought to a virtual standstill by a rare snowstorm.
In the wake of the January 2014 storm, Garry Harris, Managing Director of the Center for Sustainable Cities (CSC) and Executive Director for Emerald Cities Metro-Atlanta (ECMA) knew the city could have responded better and needed to be more resilient to extreme weather. As a first step, Harris thought the city and metro-region needed a constructive dialogue. The NOAA Weather-Ready Nation Ambassador initiative dovetailed perfectly with that goal so he signed CSC and Emerald Cities Metro Atlanta up. Building on the Weather-Ready Nation principles, he invited policy decision-makers, educators, media, government leaders, and community leaders to explore together how the city and region could be more ready, resilient, and responsive to snow and other extreme weather.
In March 2014, Harris and his team partnered with Atlanta City Council President Ceasar C. Mitchell to create a regional round table and town hall on Building Resilient Cities, Communities, Towns and Infrastructure to Mitigate the Effects of Extreme Weather.
"The Regional Roundtable and Town Hall was an excellent opportunity to bring all sides of the issue together for the purpose of discussing how the city of Atlanta can best prepare for future severe weather events. We convened elected officials from local, county, and state levels, weather experts and members of the public to work together towards establishing recommendations for submission to the severe weather task forces created by Mayor Reed and Governor Deal," said Ceasar Mitchell, Atlanta City Council President.
This open forum included the public, the City Council President and City Council, Office of the Mayor (City of Atlanta), the Atlanta Regional Commission, the Commissioner County government, The Weather Channel, the National Weather Service (NWS), Small Business Administration, labor union officials, and several other federal and local agencies including education, transportation and health care. The Town Hall was followed by two high level 'Lunch and Learn' meetings, one at the NWS Peachtree, GA, Office and the other at The Weather Companies (TWC), the parent company of The Weather Channel.
The Regional Round Table and Town Hall drew 60 residents and Council reps that, in turn, developed 19 comprehensive recommendations submitted both to the Governor of Georgia and the Office of the Mayor, City of Atlanta. The recommendations detailed action's the city; region and state need to take to be more Weather-Ready including building more resilient infrastructure. The 'Lunch and Learn' sessions and tours gave decision-makers and educators a unique, behind-the-scenes look at public and private weather services and operations. Harris favored the meetings because "the in-person and eye-to-eye contact, when possible, goes a long way in building lasting and meaningful partnerships and the commitment that is needed to be a Weather-Ready Atlanta."
At the Town Hall meeting, keynote speaker Keith Stellman, NWS PeachTree Office Meteorologist-in-Charge (MIC) compared the 2014 snow event to a remarkably similar snow storm in 1982. Both storms struck with frigid temperatures and occurred on workdays. The key difference, Stellman commented, was a huge increase in population: from two million residents in 1983 to five million in 2014. More people means the area needs to activate emergency plans faster and decision-makers, from the Governor to local homeowners, need to work with orchestra-like harmony. Stellman left an impression on the audience by saying, "we can only have a Weather-Ready Nation once we have a Weather-Ready Georgia", a comment that stresses that local and state-level coordination is fundamental.
A key message from these events is that a perfect forecast is just the beginning for a Weather-Ready Nation. Communities need partnerships to respond to a forecast quickly and appropriately. The team effort that CSC and Emerald Cities Metro Atlanta organized is the core of a Weather-Ready Nation. NWS Director Dr. Louis Uccellini comments, "The National Weather Service can't build a Weather-Ready Nation alone. It takes partners – the media, emergency managers, state and local officials, businesses owners and managers, and everyday people like you -- preparing for severe weather and making good decisions."
Thanks to CSC and Emerald Cities Metro Atlanta engagement, Atlanta and region is taking steps to ensure it will be more prepared when the next extreme weather event strikes, whether it's a tornado, hurricane, snow storm or even a non-weather challenge. One immediate example, Harris noted was the inclusion of ready, resilient and responsive in a city-scale "ECO-District" for smaller cities, towns and communities.
"The Weather-Ready Nation initiative gave CSC of Atlanta and Emerald Cities Metro Atlanta the pathway to reach far and wide in making these events happen. It was a first on many levels," according to Harris.
CSC's and Emerald Cities Metro Atlanta next step is to launch a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) program this fall to teach Atlanta's youth about the importance of being ready, resilient, and responsive for tomorrow's weather.

Now that I give Mommy big hugs, sometimes I stand up on the side of her office chair and just stay there. She keeps typing and says I'm reading my own email over her shoulder. She is one funny lady, I can't read! But I enjoy having my head next to hers and she can just lean over and kiss my face. That's the good life and I'm livin' it!
Barkatcha later,
I have learned another trick. Actually, I invented it, Daddy just named it! I have my humans so well trained, lemme tell ya'.
Anyway, I put my paws on the seat in front of Daddy, who is sitting down. I then get my paws on his shoulders and lick his face. I do it to Mommy, too, but she kisses my face so I don't get to lick her! She prefers it that way.
I can't do this with the ladies, they are way too old! But they bend down to kiss my face.
I love it here, we are such an awesome family!
Bow WOW! I haven't been online in so long it's not even funny. First, as mosta my pup pals already know, my Dad had back surgery earlier this year. He's doing great and he's been playing with me and Judd and loving every minute of it. No more back pain – YAY DADDY!
Then Mom had to plan for her trip. Mom has this very best friend (Mom and Leslie have been friends for 47 years, since mom was only 13) who lives in California. When they met Mom lived in Chicago. They were pen pals for 7 years before they even MET (Mom lived in Chicago when they started being pen pals), but had so much in common that they stayed friends all these years. It's a long story (what 47 year friendship ISN'T?) but Leslie's new roommate said that they hadn't seen each other in so long (it had been 33 years since they last were in the same room, if you can believe THAT?) so Leslie's roommate (her name is Stacey) sent my Mom a ticket to go from Florida all the way to California! They camped at the ocean, Mom took some awesome pictures and me and Judd missed her something FIERCE! We were so happy when she came home! Judd was bouncing up and down when she saw Mommy come in the gate! She said she had fun, but she was happy to be back 'cuz she missed our snuggles and she missed Daddy, too.

Mission Possible
Scott Swan/Eyewitness News
April 4, 2009 was a day for romance in Indianapolis. More than two hundred people filed into the Garrison Golf Resort and Conference Center to not only watch a wedding. They also wanted to witness a comeback. In the bridal room, Nikki Tooley glanced in the mirror and thought about her special day.
"You are supposed to look at the bride, but there is such a special man standing up there to look at and admire. And, you don't want to miss that either," said Tooley.
That man is former a Greenfield Marine. Josh Bleill, 32, cannot help but think about the road he has taken since October 15, 2006, when he was seriously injured by a roadside bomb in Iraq. Doctors amputated both legs above the knees.
"It has been a crazy two and a half years," said Bleill. "At one point, I really never thought I would walk again."
Bleill's brown tuxedo pants covered his prosthetic legs. The former Marine used a cane to stand at the wedding alter and exchanged marriage vows with Tooley.
"To be up there standing is priceless to me," said Bleill. "People say 'don't lock your knees,'" joked Bleill. "I won't pass out. I won't fall down either."
Josh's best friend from the Marines was a member of the wedding party. Tim Lang was also injured by the same 2006 roadside blast in Iraq and had his right leg amputated below the knee.
"When we got injured together, we recovered today," said Bleill. "We strengthened each other. We challenged each other. And we've continued that friendship and that brotherhood."
Bleill is walking a new path in Indiana. After returning from his honeymoon, Bleill began a new job with the Indianapolis Colts, participating in the team's new program called "Hoosiers Helping Hoosiers." Bleill says he will give speeches at Colts events and share how he has overcome his injuries.
"It's a dream job," Bleill said. "I want to go out and help the community," said Bleill. "They have done so much for me. I want to give that back."
Bleill joined the Marine Corps in 2004 at the age of 26. Bleill was in Iraq only 10 days when a roadside bomb blew up his humvee.
"When the blast went off, I was knocked out," Bleill said at the 2008 "Set a Good Example" dinner at his alma mater, Greenfield-Central High School. "It went off directly underneath me, taking both legs at the time," added Bleill. "It killed two of my good friends."
When he woke up, Bleill was in a Germany hospital unaware his Marines were killed.
We first met Bleill on October 31, 2006. It was sixteen days after the explosion that put Bleill in a hospital bed at Bethesda Naval Hospital in Maryland.
"It is still a hard concept to grasp that they are not there," said Bleill at the time. Bleill touched the wounds where his lower legs were amputated. "I still feel like they are there most nights. I touch them more now. Kind of feel them."
Doctors at Bethesda performed several complicated surgeries on Bleill and placed 34 pins and one screw in his hip. The roadside bomb also broke his jaw, two fingers and dislocated both thumbs.
Bleill's parents were at their son's hospital side in October 2006.
"You're a great Marine," Myra Bleill told her wounded son. "Although he doesn't have his legs, he's got his mind and he's going to have his voice. And, he has his sight," said Bleill's mother.
"We are the lucky ones," said Virg Bleill. Josh's father also served in the Marines. "He's alive. We'll get to touch him."
Their son survived the blast. Two others Marines did not.
Bleill's best friend from the Marines recovered in the hospital room down the hall at Bethesda Naval Hospital. In October of 2006, Tim Lang described the blast.
"It was Sunday afternoon. We were the fifth vehicle in the convoy," said Lang. "We followed in the same tire tracks to avoid IEDs (improvised explosive devices)," added Lang. "I remember this incredible explosion." The Humvee flipped over. "I thought I was dying," said Lang.
Bleill's mother stood in the hospital room listening to Lang describe his relationship with Bleill on the battlefield.
"Me and Josh shared bunks," said Lang. "He was my fire team leader."
Long road to recovery
It would not take Bleill very long to begin a new mission. Within weeks of the blast, Bleill attacked rehabilitation.
"They build your cardio back up. And then, they're going to hit your core," said Bleill in December of 2006. "Your abs and everything because that's where all of your strength is going to come from," added Bleill.
Bleill lifted weights and worked on balance to strengthen his upper body for the challenges to come.
"Missing my legs, it's a different world. It's learning how to crawl," said Bleill.
Bleill's girlfriend Nikki Tooley helped with rehabilitation which took place between October-November 2006 at Bethesda Naval Hospital in Maryland and continued until August 2008 at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington DC.
"His healing is actually the most amazing thing I think I've ever seen," said Tooley during a break in Bleill's rehabilitation. "It is his spirit and his faith in God that are pulling him through. He just shines. It's extremely obvious to other people."
His attitude in rehab inspired his physical therapist at Walter Reed Medical Center.
"He is upbeat, positive. He always has a smile on his face," said Annette Burgeron. "He works himself to fatigue. For me, I have to hold him back."
The long rehabilitation was inspired by one goal. Bleill promised he would not return to Indiana unless he could do it on his terms.
"When I do have my legs, when I walk home, I'll walk off that airplane," said Bleill.
Learning to walk again
The steps began one new leg at a time. Bleill tried standing on a prosthetic leg for the first time since the explosion.
"It felt good. It felt like freedom was coming back," said Bleill. "It was the first time I stood since October 15th. The day we were hit in Iraq, so it was a great feeling," added Bleill. "I have my left leg now, which is exciting. And, I'm working on that until I get my other leg in another month," said Bleill.
In between workouts, there were visitors. Bleill met Senator Bob Dole at a Thanksgiving dinner. Bleill met Senator John Glenn, wrestler Hulk Hogan, singer Stevie Nicks and actor Gary Sinese. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld stopped by to shake hands with the Greenfield Marine. President Bush gave Bleill the purple heart.
"I think President Bush giving it to me meant a ton. It was an honor to receive it from him," said Bleill. "I went to a baseball game with him," added Bleill. "I got to sit in the suite with him and he cracked jokes and hung out."
In February of 2007, four months after the blast, Bleill traveled to Miami to watch the Indianapolis Colts win the Super Bowl. The players and owner brought the Vince Lombardi trophy to Bleill during a hospital visit.
Six months into the recovery, Josh reached another milestone. His moved his wheelchair over to see his new prosthetic legs.
"Look at those fancy things," Bleill said before trying them for the first time. "Feels good. There are a couple of adjustments to make, but for the most part, it feels really good."
A moment to savor
Ten months after the blast, the Bleill family experienced a huge moment at Indianapolis International Airport. Myra and Virg Bleill gathered with other family members to watch their son make good on a promise. Bleill walked off the airplane using two canes to balance on prosthetic legs.
"This is my goal to walk home," said Bleill. "It was awesome. It really was," added Bleill. "To see my family waiting on me and be back in Indiana, it was nice to get back to familiar territory."
Since returning home, Bleill visited a school in southern Indiana to show children how his prothestic legs work and to thank the children for writing him get well cards.
"Did it hurt?" wondered one child. "It did hurt," Bleill responded. "But I got better because all you guys wrote me letters and sent me candy."
"Children are curious," said Bleill. "I like to explain to them how they work."
His comeback story inspired the people who know him the best.
"He has such a great story to tell," says Tooley. "He doesn't even need to say anything. People admire him."
Starting a new life
On August 11, 2008, ground was broken on Bleill's new home in Carmel. The Marine organization Semper Fi, Pulte Homes and their contractors gave their time, talents and treasurers to build a ranch-style house. In January of 2009, Bleill moved into the new home.
"It is absolutely gorgeous. Everything about it," Bleill said. "it is an open floor plan. That way, if I am in my wheel chair, I have a lot of room to move," Bleill added. "The kitchen has lower cabinets and everything. So, again if I'm in my wheelchair, I can cook."
The home has an elevator that takes Bleill to a theatre room, a shuffle board table and weight room.
I asked Bleill if his life has gotten better or worse since the explosion.
"Better. Definitely better," replies Bleill. "You start looking at what's important in life," Bleill explains. "You see how important your family is and you want that time. You realize how precious things are."
Bleill says his faith in God carried him through the last two and a half years.
"He carried me through and really said, 'there's a new mission at hand.' And, so I just have to trust in Him," said Bleill. "It strengthened my relationship with Jesus."
"It (the blast) eliminated my physical ability but it's opened a lot of doors," said Bleill. "That day (October 15, 2006) will always mean something to me," said Bleill. "A lot of people celebrate that day. It's called their alive day. I lost two friends on that day, so it's really what I remember," added Bleill.
Bleill says he sometimes experiences phantom pain.
"The nerves still think they're connected to my toes, so my brain still thinks they're there sometimes," explains Bleill. "I will get cramps in my toes and in my calves, which are not there. You really can't do anything to get them out," added Bleill. "At first, they feel like walking on stilts. But, the more I walk, they feel like part of my legs, so I can feel the vibration of the floor when I walk. They feel more like me now."
As Bleill begins his new life with his wife, he realized how many possibilities exist.
"A lot has happened in the last two years," said Bleill. "It (the road) is open before me and I can go anywhere and do anything."
Suggested Links
Bleill smiles when he thinks about his wife. "Our love's grown and she's a Christian woman. And she's been there," said Bleill. "She's everything to me."
His new bride beams with pride when talking about Bleill's recovery.
"I'm so proud of him. Just watching him and knowing his walk and knowing what he's been through," said Tooley. "We have taken what we've been dealt and made the best of it. We're looking forward to the rest of our lives together."
