In this powerful episode of the Utility Safety Podcast: Voice of Experience, veteran lineman and safety consultant Danny Raines, CUSP, shares hard-earned lessons from decades of storm response—from Hurricane Katrina to ice storms in Georgia. With hurricane season in full swing, Danny offers real-world guidance on preparing for storm duty, understanding system hazards, and staying mentally and physically resilient in the face of chaos. Whether you're a new lineworker heading out on your first storm or a seasoned pro, this episode delivers critical insights to keep you safe, sharp, and storm-ready.   Key Takeaways: Preparation is Everything: Danny emphasizes the importance of personal checklists, including meds, hygiene, and weather-appropriate gear. Test and Verify: Don't assume equipment is de-energized—especially with the increase in generators, solar, and battery backups. Mental & Physical Fatigue is Real: After 14–18 days, exhaustion sets in, increasing the chance of errors. Know your limits. Find a Mentor: For new linemen, a trusted mentor can be a lifeline during complex storm work. Storm Hazards Go Beyond Electricity: Environmental dangers like snakes, alligators, and aggressive customers add to the challenge.   3 Questions & Answers:   Q1: What's one of the most overlooked parts of storm prep? A: Personal medications. Many new crew members forget that pharmacies may be closed or destroyed post-storm, making it impossible to refill critical prescriptions.   Q2: Why is it so important to “test and verify”? A: With so many modern power sources—from Honda generators to solar panels and battery storage—assumptions can be fatal. Always check for voltage, even on lines you think are isolated.   Q3: How long can a lineworker realistically stay sharp on storm duty? A: According to Danny, the magic number is around 14–18 days. After that, physical fatigue and mental exhaustion dramatically increase the risk of mistakes and injuries.   You can read the current magazine at Incident Prevention Magazine.

The Dodge City CC, KS signee discusses his present and future with Steve Stein

There's something of Missy Raines in every song she records or performs. Whether she wrote it herself or selected it from another songwriter, she's lived inside the story and the sound. And she wants you to experience it alongside her. Love & Trouble, Raines' latest album with her band Allegheny, offers views from the highest peaks of her native West Virginia and from the deepest hollers of heartbreak. The 10 songs come to life with people, places, and stories that have caught her heart during her five-decade journey in bluegrass and beyond.“Who I am,” Raines reflects, “is because of what I've been through, what I've seen and experienced, what I've loved, what I've been moved by.”As a kid, Raines often traveled with her family to festivals in Baltimore and Washington, D.C., the beating heart of bluegrass in the 1960s and 70s. She'd dabbled in piano and guitar, but when her father bought a bass for himself when she was 10, she picked it up and never let it go. (The same bass is still her primary instrument now.) She started performing as a young teenager, and since then she's played with some of the greats across several generations: Mac Wiseman, Kenny Baker, Eddie Adcock, Bobby Osborne, Alison Brown, Bill Evans, Laurie Lewis, and Claire Lynch, to name a few. In her 40s, she took on the mantle of bandleader, cementing her own legacy in the bluegrass world. In 1998, she became the first woman to win IBMA's Bass Player of the Year award, and she's won that title another nine times since, as well as IBMA awards for collaborative projects with a wide range of her bluegrass peers and a Grammy nomination for her 2018 album, Royal Traveller. Her stature and her sparkle made her a well-received host of the 2024 IBMA Bluegrass Music Awards show alongside fellow bassist John Cowan.Nearly all the songs on Love & Trouble are rooted in some moment along her path, in the people and places and feelings she wants to share with her audience for the kind of connection that lasts.“Yanceyville Jail” stems from one of Raines' earliest memories of bluegrass, or at least from the backstory behind it. It was the early 1970s, and she was a kid in the audience at the storied Camp Springs, North Carolina, bluegrass festival. When Jimmy Martin's set time rolled around, festival promoter Carlton Haney walked onstage and explained that Martin wasn't going to be performing that evening, though he'd rejoin the festivities the following day. “You're not going to hear Jimmy sing tonight,” Raines, in a near-perfect mimic of Haney's North Carolina drawl, recalls him explaining, “because Jimmy's gonna spend the night in the  Yanceyville jail.” The way she's heard it, there was a backstage scuffle between Martin and Haney before the set. The ground was muddy and tempers were high, ripe conditions for a juicy bit of bluegrass lore. Decades later, Raines has committed the story to song, told from Martin's imagined perspective: “I've been in hard liquor and soft red clay / And I've been in some trouble here today / Roll and tumble tooth and nail / I ain't going to the Yanceyville jail.”

In this episode, we unpack the vital safety standards, OSHA regulations, and field-tested insights that govern bucket truck operations in the electric utility industry. Based on the article “Bucket Truck Safety: OSHA Standards and Other Considerations” by Danny Raines, CUSP, we dive into key differences between Class A and Class B trucks, daily control tests, fall protection, and the nuances of operating near energized lines. You'll learn why dielectric testing matters, how improper tool placement can lead to serious hazards, and what often-overlooked basics can prevent catastrophic incidents. Whether you're in utility operations, safety management, or just curious about what keeps linemen safe, this is your shortcut to understanding critical compliance. Gain practical takeaways, understand real-world challenges, and walk away with a new appreciation for the safety systems behind the power grid.   Read the article: https://incident-prevention.com/blog/bucket-truck-safety-osha-standards-and-other-considerations/   Key Takeaways: OSHA 1910.67 is the foundational standard for bucket truck safety. Daily lift control tests and proper bucket stance are mandatory safety practices. Class A (barehand) and Class B (gloving) trucks serve different functions and require different protective strategies. Fall protection is a non-negotiable requirement—fall distance and impact risk must be minimized. Misconceptions about insulation and inadequate cover-up procedures are common contributors to incidents. 3 Podcast Questions and Answers:   Q1: Why is OSHA 1910.67 considered the backbone of bucket truck safety? A1: Because it outlines non-negotiable requirements such as daily lift control testing, safe bucket operation, and movement restrictions—all of which are essential to preventing falls and electrocution.   Q2: What's the key difference between Class A and Class B bucket trucks? A2: Class A trucks are designed for direct contact with high-voltage lines and rely on the boom's insulation, while Class B trucks require full cover-up and rubber glove protection due to lower insulation properties.   Q3: What unsafe practice is commonly observed and highlighted in the article? A3: Moving trucks with elevated booms without proper exemption, and workers failing to properly cover energized parts—both of which dramatically increase risk.   Subscribe to Incident Prevention Magazine - https://incident-prevention.com/subscribe-now/ Register for the iP Utility Safety Conference & Expo - https://utilitysafetyconference.com/   Danny Raines, CUSP, is an author, an OSHA-authorized trainer, and a transmission and distribution safety consultant who retired from Georgia Power after 40 years of service and now operates Raines Utility Safety Solutions LLC.   #UtilitySafety #BucketTruckSafety #OSHAStandards #LinemanSafety #ElectricalUtilityWork   ________________________________ This podcast is sponsored by T&D Powerskills.

We've interviewed hundreds of writers on The Writing Community Chat Show, but this one stands out, because our latest guest brings not only writing chops but serious filmmaking cred to the table.In this brand-new public episode, we sat down with Josh Mendoza, the award-winning filmmaker of What Still Remains and now the debut author of the sci-fi noir novel Shadow of the Eternal Watcher.You can now watch the full interview right here on YouTube:Trust us, this one's worth your time.

"Big Dave" joins us back on the show to reminisce about careers and past associations he and Charlie survived together. Sounds yet again like these guys had a pretty good time in life. I'm not much needed here, but surely enjoyed it.

Writer/director Josh Mendoza is already well known in the world of film, and he's used those skills to create his debut novel, “Shadow of the Eternal Watcher.” Here's a look at the story: Lately, Duster Raines has started seeing an alternate version of reality where he leads a life of importance, wealth, and power. Visions so vivid they seem more real than the life he lives as a PI, scrounging the gutters of Los Angeles for an easy buck. It's enough to drive anyone insane. Pulled into a missing persons case he never wanted, Raines finds himself framed and hunted by the government. But as he searches for answers to clear his name, he discovers a truth he never could have imagined. He possesses the ability to bend spacetime to accomplish incredible feats. With these powers, maybe he's got a shot at the life he deserves. There's only one problem standing in his way—the other Duster Raines. Josh and I talk about what inspired this blend of science fiction and LA film noir and how the two sides came together. He shares the background of Duster Raines and how he adapts from being a down-on-his-luck PI to a reality-crossing being with reality-warping powers. Mendoza is the founder of Strike the Sun Entertainment, and we talk about going from the realm of script writing—where brevity is key—to the wide-open spaces of novels. He shares the revision process, plans for a sequel and maybe, just maybe, a film adaptation.

On this edition of The Knife Junkie Podcast (Episode 588), Bob DeMarco speaks with custom knife maker Bobby Raines II, who specializes in hand-forged Bowie knives that are as functional as they are beautiful.Bobby shared his journey from making his first "knife-like object" at age 12 to creating his signature "Rainmaker" Bowie, which has gained recognition through knife expert Rolando Escotada. What sets Bobby's work apart is his commitment to traditional forging techniques rather than stock removal, allowing him to create knives that "move like a feather but hit like a sledgehammer."Drawing inspiration from legendary knifemakers Bill Bagwell and James Keating, Bobby's designs combine historical accuracy with practical innovations. He demonstrates how every aspect of his knives—from the sharpened swedge to the ergonomic handles—is designed with purpose, particularly for fighting applications.Whether you're a collector, practitioner, or simply appreciate fine craftsmanship, you'll want to hear Bobby's insights on the art and tradition of American knife making. Find Bobby on Instagram @bobby_raines_2.Be sure to support The Knife Junkie and get in on the perks of being a patron, including early access to the podcast and exclusive bonus content.

In the early morning hours of December 17, 1968, two gunmen burst into the Atlanta motel room of Barbara Jane Mackle and her mother, Jane. After tying up and chloroforming Jane Mackle, the two kidnapped Barbara, forcing her into their car at gunpoint. Later that day, a family friend received a call at the Mackle home in Florida, instructing them to look in the northwest corner of the Mackle's yard, where they would find a ransom note with details about how to ensure their daughter's safe return.Once the note was unearthed, the Mackle's learned their daughter had been placed inside a box and buried in the ground in a remote location. She has enough food, water, and air to survive for a few days, but if the family doesn't act quickly, there's a good chance Barbara will dieThe kidnapping of Barbara Jane Mackle was an elaborately planned, well-executed crime that quickly dominated local and national headlines, which was no small feat in a year of major social upheaval. By the 1960s, kidnapping for ransom was a familiar concept, but to be kidnapped and buried alive was a terrifying thought that shook Americans to their core and left everyone wondering, what kind of person could do such a thing?Thank you to the incredible Dave White of Bring Me The Axe Podcast for research and writing support!ReferencesAssociated Press. 1968.

In the early morning hours of December 17, 1968, two gunmen burst into the Atlanta motel room of Barbara Jane Mackle and her mother, Jane. After tying up and chloroforming Jane Mackle, the two kidnapped Barbara, forcing her into their car at gunpoint. Later that day, a family friend received a call at the Mackle home in Florida, instructing them to look in the northwest corner of the Mackle's yard, where they would find a ransom note with details about how to ensure their daughter's safe return.Once the note was unearthed, the Mackle's learned their daughter had been placed inside a box and buried in the ground in a remote location. She has enough food, water, and air to survive for a few days, but if the family doesn't act quickly, there's a good chance Barbara will dieThe kidnapping of Barbara Jane Mackle was an elaborately planned, well-executed crime that quickly dominated local and national headlines, which was no small feat in a year of major social upheaval. By the 1960s, kidnapping for ransom was a familiar concept, but to be kidnapped and buried alive was a terrifying thought that shook Americans to their core and left everyone wondering, what kind of person could do such a thing?Thank you to the incredible Dave White of Bring Me The Axe Podcast for research and writing support!ReferencesAssociated Press. 1968.
