You have to find the place you fit, and that means doing what you love. Everyone has something they do that they love. Tom Cavanaugh was 71 before he saw his true reflection—not in a mirror—but in a movie. There he was, at 17, in a scene showing a high school student completely lost looking for his hallway locker, and then spinning the combination lock repeatedly, without result.

Emanuel learned at an early age to be aggressive and stand up for himself. Raised in a family where education was a high priority, he had to read the newspaper every day to keep up with current events and defend his political opinions each night at the family dinner table. This posed no problem for his brother Rahm, former Obama chief of staff and now Chicago mayor, and Ezekiel, a breast oncologist and head of the Department of Bioethics at the Clinical Center of the National Institutes of Health.

Mariotti, who dedicates over eighty hours a week to NFTE, learned the importance of persistence and hard work at an early age, when he was diagnosed with dyslexia. I have all the aches and the pains, much of it is a result of the chemotherapy, the swelling and the lymphedema.

So glad to see the all cotton options — have been waiting to hear back from the tee site. KFC chicken, seriously?!

I just shared. Hopefully with more brave folks like you, everyone will realize that there are MANY cures for cancer. Once again the corporate tail wags the dog. LOVE that you suggest donating the money directly to those who are suffering.

Chemicals used in sub-terrainous fracturing? Really Chris? I was completely supportive until I read this. This hysterical pandering really puts your effort in a different light. You see, I am a natural cure cancer survivor, but I also believe in avoiding baseless hysteria and deceptive scare tactics aimed at the fearful and gullible.

I am also a professional environmentalist and actually know the facts behind what some people carelessly call fracking, which, incidentally, has been practiced for over eighty years. I am directly below this pond. My well water was completely cloudy and smelled of acetone and chemicals that coincided with the fracking for about five days. Not to mention, the time the frack pond overflowed and spilled thousands of gallons of frack water into the stream that exists 8 feet from my back deck where my children play.

Oh ya, forgot to mention the well fire that produced ash and smells so bad that I kept my children in for a week. Also, forgot to mention my neighbor sued the drilling company and won for contaminating his well. I know first hand because I was subpeonaed and attended the hearing. When I see you testing the pre drilling water then post drilling water then maybe the ill-informed is YOU.

Fracking should not include the use of a pond. What your neighbor likely has is a pond that has received drill cuttings or other contaminants from the drilling process. This was allowed in the arrangement that the land owner made with the drilling company or the producer and can be the result of drilling with or without fracking.

This process could have been avoided with nothing more than a stipulation at the time of contract negotiations. Fracking fluids are largely made up of sand and water that is pumped far below the surface to allow gas to migrate up through the porous sand medium.

No pond is needed. Your neighbor did the right thing to file suit but did the wrong thing while making an ill-informed arrangement that allowed some sort of a disposal pit on his property.

I have never heard of a frack pond and I am in the busines of resolving these issues. It may be a local term, but certainly isnt a general industry term. Most of leases are not with the land owners because they do not own the rights. As in my neighbors case. As a man involved in resolving these issues, I would thing that you would know that. Many times these are different people. I was present in court when the drilling company gave a list of chemicals associated in their fracking. The soil samples and water are always tested and always contaminated.

He empties out frack ponds…. They must be double lined. Because of the several hundred chemicals that could be present. By the way, if the pumper trucks are not lined, the metal is eaten away. Any spillage from one of these trucks results in a closure of the spillage area.

You describe a cuttings pond. This is not a part of the fracking operation. I work on behalf of property owners and served as a right-of-way agent in most U. It would be totally illegal to act beyond the original lease acquisition agreement. I promise that I do know this very well.

Only by imminent domain could this be accomplished and would take a room full of lawyers. Your friend was apparently duped and the courts awarded him recompense. This was certainly some sort of disposal pit that would have no legal use or purpose in fracking. Fracked wells have become a whipping boy of politicians.

I know this process and it is certainly not what is described. The majority of wells drilled have never had fracking performed. The issue here is the fact that a drill bit was painted pink. My dealings are with property owners, the EPA, engineers and state environmental agencies. I am not someone spouting off, calling names and trying to insult others. I resent the use of fear and hysteria in order to gain support from gullible people.

I support bringing the truth to the cancer victims of this world; however, I do NOT support doing it by deceptive hysteria. As mentioned, I am a long time survivor who reversed cancer by nutrients and dietary reality — not hype.
