Philadelphia Water and a broad group of partners interested in protecting our rivers, parks and planet gathered on the Schuylkill River on Friday, Oct. 23 to announce a new network of drinking water stations along the Schuylkill River Trail. The water bottle filling stations/fountains will help fight pervasive single-use water bottle litter found along the Schuylkill River by making it easy to use refillable bottles. Philadelphia Water also partnered with Head of the Schuylkill Regatta to give away over 12,000 reusable water bottles.
Speakers and guests included: Mayor Michael Nutter, Councilman Curtis Jones, Jr’s Chief of Staff, Josh Cohen, Deputy Mayor for Environmental and Community Resources Michael DiBerardinis, Philadelphia Water Commissioner Howard Neukrug, Chair of the Schuylkill Navy River Stewards Committee Alan Robinson, Captain of the Water Initiative for the HOSR Deirdre Mullen, Commodore of the Schuylkill Navy Paul Horvat, President/Co-director of Head of the Schuylkill Regatta Ellen Carver.
4th Grade Students from FS Edmonds Elementary School also took the #DrinkTapPHL pledge to “Choose to Reuse” and were given refillable bottles to take home.

St Peter's at Dormington sits close to the road where this small but attractive building may be admired by many passers by. At a glance it may appear a fairly humble building, a simple two-cell structure of nave and chancel crowned only by a weather-boarded spirelet belfry at the west end, but there are rewarding things here for those who stop.
The chancel was mostly rebuilt in Victorian times but the nave is still largely late Norman, though this is not readily apparent from outside given the later windows. The first real sign of Norman work here is a very special one revealed upon entering the south porch: the door knocker is a rare piece of late Romanesque metalwork in the form of a feline head (nowadays a copy takes the place of the original which is kept in the treasury at Hereford)..
Inside the antiquity of the building is much more apparent, with the tiny chancel arch seemingly bored through the east wall of the nave revealing little of the space beyond. The style is transitional as the arch is pointed, but the proportions suggest a late 12th century date nonetheless. Various 17th century memorials adorn the walls with some details of sculptural interest.
The most memorable features inside the church however are the two very fine stained glass windows, that at the east end being a rare work by Mary Lowndes and Isobel Gloag depicting the Last Supper from 1901. Lowndes is famous for setting up the Glass House at Fulham to provide studio space for a number of renowned Arts & Crafts artists, Her glass here is a striking piece with faces full of character. At the west end is a late work by Morris & Co using cartoons by Burne Jones for the figures of Fortiitude & Justice, all in characteristic cool greens and warm orange.
Dormington church is normally open and welcoming to visitors and well rewards a visit for its antiquity and glorious glass.
With a closure ceremony planned for Oct. 4, the remainder of the Mound Site will be turned over to the Miamisburg Mound Community Improvement Corporation (MMCIC), a community reuse organization. Meanwhile, the DOE Office of Legacy Management will conduct long-term surveillance of the site.

Random camera PCB I've been thinking about recently... I got a lot of these cameras broken from ebay a while back - Have been planning to reuse the sensors (they're rather nice, ~8mp-ish I think), but need to do some detective / reverse engineering work. Not something I have time for in the very near future.
We reuse clean but non-potable water from the county’s wastewater treatment plant. The water goes to the waste-to-energy plant for its use in generating electricity, and the Laurel Hill Golf Course and the Lower Potomac Ball Fields use it for irrigation purposes. The program has delivered 471 million gallons of reclaimed water in 2014. Because less electricity is needed to pump, treat, transmit and distribute reclaimed water, we estimate that it saves approximately 1.1 pounds of equivalent carbon dioxide (CO2e) per kilowatt hour.

Los Angeles-based ska band The Interrupters will release their self-titled debut album on August 5 on Hellcat Records.
Bound by their rebel spirit and deep love for 2 Tone, The Interrupters make super-high-energy ska-punk that’s equal parts catchy and confrontational. Produced by Rancid’s Tim Armstrong, the band’s self-titled debut for Hellcat Records sees frontwoman Aimee Interrupter, guitarist Kevin Bivona, bassist Justin Bivona, and drummer Jesse Bivona spitting out lyrics that take on matters as thorny as martial law and Big Brotherism while churning out rocksteady rhythms and snarly guitar riffs.
After teaming up with Armstrong—whom Kevin got to know while taking over as touring keyboard player for The Transplants in 2005—The Interrupters and Tim wrote and recorded all of their debut in a matter of days. “Working with Tim, nothing ever gets overthought—it’s like lightning in a bottle,” says Kevin, adding that many of the songs on The Interrupters were captured in one take. Aimee also points out that the fast-and-loose approach was key to giving her a vocal performance the raw urgency that the lyrics demanded. “Recording the vocals, the most important thing was to be real and honest and if things weren’t perfect, that was totally okay.”
The Interrupters’s shared commitment to “never taking ourselves too seriously” also goes a long way in offsetting the heavy subject matter at the heart of so many of their songs. “We have a lot of things that we’re outraged about and we need to sing about those things, but we make sure to keep it fun,” adds Aimee. “Sometimes it’s good to be happily outraged.”

For the green theme, I decided to go eco-green for the week. The color green would have posed a bit challenging. Plus I'm a crunchy nut, so green fits.
I get some of my reuse savvy from my mom. She was less about being green and more about using everything to its last drop. That's just the way it is when you live extremely modestly in the country. I still have her jar of buttons. She would not only keep lost buttons, but also cut the buttons off of any shirt before throwing it away. All of them ended up in the Miracle Whip jar.
Yes, that is an 85 above the label.

[Pix of previous Stop Killing Cyclists actions]
In a protest organised by Stop Killing Cyclists, and joined by Extinction Rebellion, three horse-drawn hearses carrying symbolic coffins lead a procession of several hundred cyclists from Lincolns Inn Fields to Trafalgar Square where a die-in was staged. The protesters condemned the failure of governments to take comprehensive action on provision for safer cycling and the urgent need to cut air pollution. They called for £6 billion/year to be invested in a national protected cycling network, an end to annual tax cuts for toxic diesel/petrol fuels which kill thousands of people and contribute to climate change, and the establishment of car-free villages, towns and city centres with safe neighbourhoods for children.
A rally was later held in the Mall, where flowers were laid and speakers addressed the crowd.
