  • My photo was taken by someone from the press during Hurricane Katrina. How do I find it?

    Posted by admin on July 2nd, 2009 and filed under hurricane katrina | 6 Comments »

    I was at the Louisiana Superdome before and during hurricane katrkatrina. On a few instances, I had my photo taken by professional photographers for some press agency. I have yet to see these photos in any books, on TV, or on any internet site.

    Is there a repository somewhere that I can do a search for my pictures? I would like to have a copy of them for my personal record?
    I also do not know who took the photo. It was myself and 3 other people walking down the street outside the Superdome and someone from press was there taking pictures. The guy stopped taking pictures of the line and took pictures of us walking along the line. We didn’t have time to stop to ask for his business card. We were kind of busy.

    You can search the news wire services for your photo. The primary source where I would begin is the associated press.

    How can I find data on changes in poverty rates since Hurricane Katrina in the affected areas?

    Posted by admin on July 2nd, 2009 and filed under katrina | 1 Comment »

    I’m interested in comparing poverty rates before and after katrina in the affected counties but am having trouble getting good data. Can anyone help with this? Thanks.

    The data is tough, because many of the people in poverty actually moved out of their homes, or were dislocated…

    Try the Center on Budget Policy and Priorities. It looks like they have a lot of good information.

    What can I do to fix a basement drain that floods when I use the washer?

    Posted by admin on July 2nd, 2009 and filed under floods | 3 Comments »

    Every month or so our basement drain floods when we use the washer. I have had two plumbers and Roto Rooter out here in the last three months. When they show up, it generally doesn’t flood for them:) How do I solve this long-term?
    The washer is in the "basement" and drains to a pipe on/in (?) the wall…the water is coming up from the drain that is on the floor…and that is the ONLY drain on the floor in the basement…Is there another way to drain the washer? There is no utility sink in this room (and no room for one)…Thanks sooooo much for the helpful advice!

    If it is really FD (floor drain) you should have also a CO ( clean out) on the drain line , loose its cover push a steel wire 1/8 inch in the direction of flow several times during puring water in the FD by a hose of pressure source until all deposits and strings are removed
    it is a mechanical cleaning method I successfully used it

    Emergency Medical Professionals: How often do you get male patients that are wearing panties?

    Posted by admin on July 2nd, 2009 and filed under emergency | 4 Comments »

    I asked this question already, but I accidentally resolved it before I was ready. So here goes…

    My mother always said "Wear clean underwear everyday. You never know when you’ll be in an accident."

    There appears to be a lot of men wearing panties these days and I was wondering how common it is that doctors, nurses, and EMT’s discover that their emergency patients (males) are wearing ladies underwear. Do you and your colleagues get a nice chuckle out of it?

    Non-emergency medical professionals, how often do your male patients show up in your office and flash their panties?

    I wear female thongs 24/7 and i was at the doctors 2 weeks go for a flu jab i thought i would get it in my arm but i was taken aback when SHE said trousers down and gave me it in the hip, when i dressed she just said "nice panties but dont be so shy as i see LOTS of men wearing female undies"

    what caused the columbia(space shuttle) disaster?

    Posted by admin on July 2nd, 2009 and filed under wikipedia disaster | 8 Comments »

    please be as basic as possible. i read the wikipedia article about this event but i still am not quite sure what was the cause. thank you. :]

    What caused the Space Shuttle Columbia Disaster?

    Security was tight at launch and no indication of sabotage.

    Initial speculation was the vertical tail fin broke apart.

    The reason for the break up: it seems the left wing was hit by a piece of foam from the Space Shuttle External Tank (ET) during launch. At the time of the launch it was judged that event did not represent safety concern.

    Is there one website with all the good disaster preparedness links that I could go to.?

    Posted by admin on July 2nd, 2009 and filed under preparedness | 2 Comments »

    I see many many disaster sites, all seem really good for one thing or another, but is there one site with all those links?

    You should check your local civil defense agency whose number can be found in the local telephone book.

    The American Civil Defense Association may be a good start.
