If you want to get a message to Holden, use his address and the email will go through. The computer just reads the address.

The people of Pasadena need to make their displeasure known as he supposedly represents them.

Comment on Remembering Carl Pilnick by Rosemary Pilnick Balsley

Thank you for the kind words about my father, Carl Pilnick. I will always know him as a Dad,not necessarily as a telecommunications professional, or even a chess master. It is good to know that he is remembered and was well-regarded in his chosen field.

Susan, I will certainly and strongly disagree with you about the FCC EME standards, and the lack of repeatable or reputable science that attempts to dispute the FCC standards, but that is an argument for a different day. We certainly can agree about this bill against the public interest. It virtually assures that the public will no longer participate in the wireless siting discussion for the majority of work being performed by the industry.

Yes, it is Assembly Member Chris Holden sponsoring the bill. As to which wireless carrier or organization is the real sponsor behind the sponsor, we do not yet know.

I would like to express grave concern about Assembly Bill 162 – Cal 6409 (a) & Shot Clock Law. Just as the World Health Organization has moved rf radiation onto a list of carcinogens, and 1800 new peer reviewed studies have been evaluated, showing the terrible health impacts of microwave rf radiation and electromagnetic fields (EMF’s), as seen in the BioInitiative Report 2012, consideration of this assembly bill is placing the entire public health not only at risk but significant and certain harm. We must get this bill withdrawn. Anyone supporting it will be seen as against children, pregnant mothers and their precious unborn children, seniors, medically ill and disabled people, and the general public health. This is an industry-favoring bill that is dangerous. The FCC guidelines have been proven to be far too lax even by the US GAO, and are in the midst of change. They are 3.3 million times higher than levels of rf radiation recommended by scientists. CEP opposes this bill as a major threat to public safety. In addition, it threatens California’s agriculture, as insects are also harmed by this type of radiation.

I wrote a version of this for Chris Holden, but it stopped me from sending it as my address is not in his district. Is Assemblymember Holden sponsoring this bill? plse write me at director (at) electrosmogprevention.org to inform about this. Thank you for the heads up.

Comment on Is Tower Building a Dirty Job? by Kevin Reski

Kevin Reski — Fri, 29 Mar 2013 02:33:39 +0000

When Pilgrim Films (Dirty Jobs)first contacted me to film their Top Tower Hand episode of Dirty Jobs I alerted them that tower work was not really a dirty job. I told them it is a sucky job, They said sucky was OK.
Yes, I did throw my big hook onto that still floating section to pull her back down. I was also belted into the tower section I was standing on with another safety hook (monkey tail)assy. Any that knows me & my operation would know & view in that episodethat everyone on the tower had redundant safety fall protection as standard practice.
My co-star was pleased that he lived through the tower stacking & sucky weather but offered no request for a sequel episode.. ha,,
