So thankful for Wilson County District 3 EMS!
Audio articles on Wilson County News made possible by C Street Gift Shop in downtown Floresville! On Sunday, March 17, at approximately 4:15 p.m., I was talking to my wife, Eleanor, and in 3 seconds she went from talking to being gone — meaning no breathing or heartbeat. We live in Stockdale. EMS was called and CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) was started.
Look Before You Leap
This article reviews a lesson I learned many years ago, but put into practice my first week working at my new employer Enterasys Networks in October 2006. My dad’s favorite expression was “Look before you leap." In this article, this saying really becomes "look before you simulate or measure." After working at Digital Equipment Corporation for just shy of 20 years, followed by a few startups, I decided to try a middle size networking company.
What’s up with wipes? An update on flushability standards
By Robert Haller and Barry Orr Municipal wastewater utilities have always dealt with grease and feminine hygiene products, and tried their best to educate customers to only flush the 3Ps – pee, poop and paper (toilet paper). We would get the odd clog, but we were doing “fairly” well, until the introduction of wipes. Read the full article in ES&E Magazine’s August 2022 issue: Subscribe to our Newsletter!

Wastewater Professionals Release Specification for Flushability
It’s not flushablejust because the salesman says so! This has been our debate with the powerful wipes manufacturing industry for well over a decade now. Currently, anyone can call anything ‘flushable.’ There are no rules. There has been no legal definition of the term.
So You Think You're Cool? On Referencing Pop Music in Fiction
I was 14 or 15 when I became predictably insufferable about music. By which I mean: determined to like only music that had been deemed “good” or “cool” by some higher authority, and determined that at least some of my identity would be wrapped up in my “good taste.” I already knew I wanted to be a writer—was writing constantly—but there was some small part of me that dreamed of being a rock star.
Bath Salts: An Excerpt from Another Life | Joyland Magazine
I wasn’t a bad girl. None of it had been my idea. Under the gazebo in the park, it was Bethany who started up about the bath salts and how snorting them was supposedly like taking acid. But she didn’t know for sure, it was just what she’d heard some of the senior girls saying in the locker room last week. And, of course, Ian wanted proof. So we piled into his car and headed to Walmart, the only store that sold bath salts in our town, the only store still open at this time of night.

One Size Does Not Fit All
Watching with great interest how the implementation of the Wastewater System Effluent Regulations (WSER) plays out across Canada, I wonder if there is some opportunity for reasonable, case-by-case review. WSER requires new reporting and sets stricter effluent targets for all Canadian communities. Municipal utilities have been ranked by their risk, or rather, their priority requirement for upgrades.
Here’s what it will take to flood-proof Ottawa and other cities
Water is starting to drop around Rue Saint-Louis in Gatineau Tuesday May 9, 2017. Home owners around the Gatineau area can only wait until the water goes away before the clean up can begin. Boater on Rue Rene Tuesday. Tony Caldwell Tony Caldwell / Postmedia Network The heavy rains that descended on Ottawa this past week are what they used to call a “one-in-100-year” storm, the kind of disaster that could catch any of us off-guard. But this week’s extreme weather is no longer exceptional.
How to Make Sense Of the IEEE Std 802.3bj-2014 Alphabet Soup
The industry appears to be transitioning from 10x10G to a more efficient 4X25G. The first standard for 25Gb/s signaling was the OIF-CEI with VSR, SR and LR standards. What I have been looking at recently are the Ethernet 802.3bm 100GBASE-KR4 backplane standard and the Ethernet interconnect standard 802.3bj. To achieve 100G there is CAUI10, which is 10 lanes of 10G = 100G, while CAUI4 is 4 lanes of 25G = 100G. 100GBASE-CR4 is 4 lanes of 25G using CAUI4 = 100G throughput.
