Create a place on Strava where all the segments you've ever ridden would be listed, with sortable columns like current place in the leaderboard, number of times ridden, or categorization, etc.
I am on the brink if giving Veloviewer my money for this very feature. Veloviewer is so much more powerful and useful than Strava because of this oh so simple feature!
I use Strava because of the segments, which is Strava's raison d'etre, yet seeing a simple list of segments I've ridden is near impossible (unless I star each and every one, which then makes having favourite segments usless).
Veloviewer allows me to filter the columns by distance / time behind the KOM / position, etc., and, most importantly, shows me every segment I've ever ridden. Additionally, Veloviewers maps of where I've ridden are fantastic.
Awesome to see the discussion this has generated. Guess I might have to stop using Map My Run and move to Strava:)
Any news from Strava Team?
Is this request will be implemented? If yes, when? Note there are around 550 vote in favor...
FYI, I canceled my Premium account and use another service for that (Veloviewer). I'll be back on Strava Premium account once this feature will be available.
I've been asking MapMyRun for this for years. It started when I was ocean kayaking the Auckland coastline and harbor. I used a paper map and a highlighter and every day marked off where I had finished and that would be my starting point for my next outing. I now walk and want to be able to see every road segment I have walked. Then I can see where in any suburb I have been to, which roads I haven't been on and plan walks to include as many as possible roads I haven't been on. There is also a walk that goes the entire length of New Zealand, most people will never do it in one go, but the ability to walk segments of it when you are in that part of the country and add it to the map to again be able to continue the segments you haven't been on would be highly motivational. Is this similar to what the rest of you are requesting?
The excellent VeloViewer is moving to a paid model for those who want to continue to access its full features that up to now have been free. At first, I was disappointed by the move, but I get so much more value from VeloViewer compared to any current feature of Strava Premium, that I figure Ben deserves to be rewarded.
For me, the ability to *filter* and *sort* the full list of activities or segments by *any* field and to visualise the data in graphs is very valuable. I can answer nerdy questions such as, "How does my performance this year compare to last year on uphill segments of 2-4km when my HR is in the range of 155-170 BPM?" or, "What is my average speed on bike X this year excluding time spent on a trainer?" It is also great for highlighting other rider's dodgy activities: if I put some effort into a segment and a year later notice that my PR time 100% behind the KOM time, then there is a good chance that the KOM "rider" forgot to turn off their GPS for the drive home, so I might flag their activity.
I'll be sending my cash to VeloViewer, as VeloViewer Pro will give me much more for much less money than Strava Premium. The kernel of Strava is the segment functionality, yet the one thing it doesn't show you are your segments. I don't get it.
I'm definitely opting for this feature as well. What I would like to do is getting a list of all the segments that I have done, showing my position in the ranking. Then I can select and further improve ranking during my rides. Probably some additional filtering is needed to show only segments within a 100KM radius of your house or something. Perhaps also include how many attempts you have made before... maybe it is time to give up on that segment :)
In any case, I ride from home to work and back and the track is full of segments. This way I can choose and improve and motivate myself before going out to select the ones I have a better shot at improving.
This will motivate a lot of ppl!
It would be great to see all segments that an athlete ever ran/biked on one page along with few sortable stats like: rank, PR pace, number of attempts, average pace, athlete's current place in terms of absolute number and percentile.
Speaking of sorting your rides and segments. I'm over 65 and would like to compare all my rides to the over 65 people rather than to try to compete with those 30-40 years younger than me. I would like to see the sorting some by the criteria you pick to be sticky and apply to every leaderboard rather than have to re-select it every time you look at one This should be a site wide preference. Also it would be good to sort leaderboards by multiple criteria (i.e by country, maybe even state), age and weight) so we can easily see how we are doing compared to people in our age/weight group and in our local area. As it is, the filters are only one at a time and are not sticky. It would be so much nicer to have the multiple criteria and be able to set them as preferences.
Yep, the new heat map is great! It would be nicer if there was a n adjustment to intensify the orange colour of the routes so the one less travelled could be seen easier.
Looks like no one has said that you all got your wish re: MAPS of overlaid rides etc... Heat Map! (I'm not premium so don't have it but it looks good...)
Ben Lowe is really improving the Strava experience greatly. The segment overview, segment history (so you can look at your times), position score (to see how much a segment is really worth :) and the resulting VeloViewer score are basic needs for any Stravavarius related to segments. I really hope Strava takes a good look at his innovations - maybe not only those related to this topic :)
"Just go to the segment page and then click on the 'My Results' link in the left hand column."
I can't see any "My Results" button, either here: http://app.strava.com/athlete/segments/starred or any tabs on that page, or here: http://app.strava.com/segments/search or any of those tabs. I don't know what other "segment page" there would be.
"Just to mention Ben Lowe's VeloViewer again : http://veloviewer.com/ The excellent "Segments" page there is a complete answer ro this request (still hoping for it to be replicated in Strava). You can sort by any column and the "Pos Score" is very useful in helping you find the segments you want to improve."
This is exactly what I need! I've only started using Strava, so I don't have too many segments run yet, but Veloviewer already let me know about one I didn't realize I had run. Something like this page: http://veloviewer.com/athlete/2361519/segments is what I would like to see on Strava.
Great Apps Strava.........keep up the good work.
Awesome, thanks Scawen! It is great. Now, just need to add runs...
Ray P. and Michael Brown - you can see that map using Jonathan O'Keeffe's multiple ride mapper :
http://www.jonathanokeeffe.com/strava/map.php - just enter your Rider ID.
I think that is exactly what you are looking for (though it would be convenient to have it in Strava).
A map of all of my rides/runs together - as Ray P. suggested above - would be very cool!
Hi just thought I'd plug a little something I've been working on (on and off)
Fast 50 Jquery Sortable Table
Javascript Hypertree Visualization
It will (for the time being) lookup your (or anyones based on your vanity athlete id) latest 50 rides, the efforts associated with those rides, and the segment efforts best, segment data (the whole bit!) and even filters by team. It will only return segments where you appear in the top 50, but it will also give you some statistical data about your competitors (like nearby ranks and the time differences of those ranks, and how many times you rode the segment (in those 50 rides)
Ex: You placed 3rd, so it will show you the time of the person who placed second and the number of people who did so (ties), in addition to the leader and the placing below your own (4th or higher)
Result sets can't take longer than 2 minutes to load but typically take anywhere from 20 seconds to 90 seconds (depending on the number of segments.) Segment's efforts data is cached in 5 minute intervals; so it'll be pretty close to up-to-date (if strava.com is working...)
If you're a developer most of the code is on github ... and made it so its easily deployable via Redhat's Openshift in a distributed manner (for free; NO JOKE) using node.js and express.js framework .. I built it to be somewhat non-atomic so walking all of your rides/efforts/standings would be a minimal coding effort (if your servers can handle it!). You can read more about how to get that going at https://github.com/redcap3000/Strava.node.js
Just to mention Ben Lowe's VeloViewer again : http://veloviewer.com/ The excellent "Segments" page there is a complete answer ro this request (still hoping for it to be replicated in Strava). You can sort by any column and the "Pos Score" is very useful in helping you find the segments you want to improve.
Going slightly off topic, it would be nice to have an option to be notified when any of your top 10 places changed (not only KOMs). Though that can be replicated currently by using Jonathan O'Keeffe's Strava KOM Notifier Service http://www.jonathanokeeffe.com/strava/notifier.php
I think this is a great idea and am glad others suggested it before me. I find myself wanting to coherently organize the segments I want to improve in, but have no organization other than by ride. It would help a segment-conscious user like me to track those in which I want to move up the rankings.
How're we getting on with this, Strava? I'd find it a great motivator to see a list of my segment PBs to target for improvement rather than having to go into each segment individually to see how I'd done.
I would like, in addition to a list, to see a MAP of all my rides overlaid. That would allow me to see what areas I've neglected, but more important—if others were allowed to see it—for them to make suggestions of other routes I might like to try.
Ben Lowe mentioned his StravaViewer site earlier in this thread, but he's since written a newer and excellent'er version, VeloViewer:
There's a "list of all segments I've ridden", which can be sorted by a lot of different metrics (things like VAM, ~normalised leaderboard position, time behind KOM etc). There's also graphing tools, a nice segment/elevation profile viewer, forum signature image generator etc
Unlike(?) the previous incarnation, it doesn't require any signup - you just enter your Strava athlete ID and click update
I like that I can go into a specific ride and look at individual segments, but I agree with the rest of you that we need easy access to a list of segments we have ridden so we can evaluate our progress a little easier. It might be useful to be able to name the overall areas that we ride to organize the segments that are going to be grouped together. This app is awesome and I cant wait to see it get better over time
Deinately a feature that would hugely improve Strava
Definetely a feature that is required. Interesting also to differentiate ridden segments on the map.
"It's not immediately obvious what the Y-axis represents, sure, but when you work it out, it can be much clearer than the "chasing dots" which is all that Strava itself shows."
But the problem with their graph is that you don't know if one person stopped or the other person just had a surge. Your example is a good one because it perfectly illustrates this flaw. It uses the more-inconsistent of the two rides as the "consistent" baseline, and then plots the other ride relative to that. So, it makes the other rider look inconsistent. In fact, the second big jump, the other rider isn't even moving, yet he's, somehow, pulling away from you (yes, I know why it's happening, you don't need to explain it. My point is that it's very counter-intuitive.)
I think it would be much easier to understand if they just used the Y-axis for distance and the X-axis for time. Distance would be slightly analogous to elevation (for a hill climb, anyway), and would lend itself very well to the vertical axis. Then, as various riders traded the lead, you'd see them, alternately, climb above each other for a given X position. The distance gap between them would just be the vertical space between them at any given X. The time gap would be the horizontal distance between them at any given Y. It's not fantastic, but it wouldn't be the train-wreck that they have now.
> He doesn't understand why he is further down the leaderboard
http://i.imgur.com/d9DTW.png - as far as I can tell, he stopped for 20 seconds or so after the start of the segment (as shown by time-gap increasing a lot, and the map-marker being stationary).. Then he caught up over the rest of the segment
> the graph is just very counter-intuitive. [...]. Also, their whole premise is flawed, I think
It's not immediately obvious what the Y-axis represents, sure, but when you work it out, it can be much clearer than the "chasing dots" which is all that Strava itself shows.
Particularly if you stop during a segment, the opposing dot jumps ahead rather confusingly, whereas the timegap graph shows the stops clearly (almost-vertical line), and shows how long you stopped. E.g in the following segment:
...you can see I slowed down to tinker with water bottles, just before stopping the first time, then I stopped for another minute to talk to someone. The graph tells this better than just the chasing-dots alone
Also, between my stops you can easily compare speeds with the KOM, by the line being either the same angle (same speed), my line approaching the KOM (me being quicker than KOM), or the gap increasing (me being slower than KOM) - e.g in the above, between the first two stops, I lost time. After the second stop, I gained timed because the gap decreased. This is impossible to tell with the chasing-dots
I think the only problem is the "marketing text", implying the graphs magically make you able to beat the KOM - but I don't think that prevents it being a useful visualisation tool, just that it's made by an enthusiastic programmer trying to make boring graphs sound more exciting :P
Err, anyway, this is getting a bit off-topic from showing all-segments-ridden!
I played more at Raceshape and started to see it. It also helped if we used say... the KOM as baseline, then I used myself and my friends rides as "normal" I coudl better see our rides and how they coinside. As to him (beating me visually) but strava said I won. I think Strava was right. When using raceshape, I could see that I was ahead the whole way, my friend fired up at the end and (seemed to beat me) but he quickly faded (apparently before the finish) as raceshape showed him FALL OFF below me at the very end. (just) So it appears the actual finish was a BIT further than we thought. Strava and Raceshape seemed to be without error. I really like raceshape - once I found that one is a BASELINE (pulled staright) and even so you can put someone as the baseline that is just a bit above your pace and it really visually makes sense. THANKS FOR THE LINK! I think Strava is the coolest site ! Though the premium price is to high. I'd rather pay 25.00 for the app and have all premium features for life.
@Ron: I have that happen all the time. I'll sometimes ride with a buddy, and we'll get to a hill, and he starts a little behind me, then he passes me going up the hill, and crests the hill well before I do. Then, back home, Strava says that I beat him by a second or two on the hill segment. This is life at Strava. Get used to it. I'm not sure if it's due to differences in GPS's, or if it's due to Strava having some strange ways of determining when you're on a segment or not.
@Ben: I agree with Ron. I took a look at RaceShape before, and the graph is just very counter-intuitive. Those guys... let me just say that data-visualization isn't their forte. Also, their whole premise is flawed, I think. They seem to think that, if you can see just *where* on a segment you got bested, that you can just put in a little more effort on that part and, presto, you've got the dude beat. But that will probably blow up your legs for later in the segment. Besides, to presume that you can just put in a little more here and there is to presume that you're not, already, putting in your best. RaceShape seems to imply of strategy of "just put in your best-est".
Also, if you want virtual partner courses, my tool (http://joe.emenaker.com/StravaTool/) does that in addition to showing you all of the segments you've ridden. It lets you download virtual partners for: your PR, the KOM, and the person just above you on the leaderboard (I call him "the carrot"), all at once.
http://app.strava.com/rides/15332355 Is the race then (up a Hill) Ron Kramer57yrs is my standard line. Ryan Loucks 37yrs is my son in law. He doesn't understand why he is further down the leaderboard. He was behind me - started about 4 seconds later, but ended he thought ahead of me. (I thought so too) but if I read the line right... it appears he fell off before reaching the actual finish line?
Ben THANKS! that's great, though a little under to read. I guess it's showing I'm straight line and my buddy is the other line (under me is less than and over me is better than?)
Still kinda hard to decypher. But I'll keep trying.
@Ron the segment viewer on http://raceshape.com/ can show you that. You can load multiple people from the leaderboard, or multiple rides from a specified user (with the "athlete:" dropdown), and it shows them with a nice timegap graph
On the leaderboard listing, you can even click the little "^" arrow, and it will create a virtual-partner course for Garmin devices..
The only way I can the "My Results" is to actually click the segment then scroll to the bottom and click "My Results", I don't see it on the "My Segments" page off of the dashboard or any other listing of segments. A couple people have asked already, is this only for premium accounts?
Any updates on this? We really deserve this:)
Well, you can get a list of all of the segments you've ridden here (http://joe.emenaker.com/StravaTool/), although that's not its main purpose. It's sorted by the number of times you've ridden it.
Also, I'm finishing up a tool which kinda does what you're looking for ("a % measurements indicating your position relative to the rest of the group..."). It's designed to help you find segments where you're most-likely to either get a PR or move up on the leaderboard. But your "percentile" idea is intriguing, too...
Having a list of "Segments I've ridden" would be ideal. If this was a premium feature it would probably motivate me to join as I do not see enough value in the membership right now. I live in a area of many pro athletes so getting a top 10, let along a KOM, is a major achievement and for most trails an unrealistic expectation for most riders. I think having a % measurement indicating your position relative to the rest of the group would be helpful.
For instance, one segment I ride I have been climbing up the leader board. I'm now at position 22. However if I had a percentage system I would know that i am now in the top 8% of all riders on that segment. To me that more interesting that saying that I have a top 10 finish on a segment that has only had 16 riders....
To quote my response from a similar thread on this forum:
Until this becomes available in Strava you can get this exact functionality on my site http://stravaviewer.com You do need to register your interest to see you details but I think it ticks most of your boxes. Still work in progress but I'm showing sortable lists of all completed segments, rides along with a graphical "dashboard" to compare all your segments.
It would be great to be able to mark all (or some) of the segments you've ridden and see them in the My Segments page. A lot of people seem to be creating new segments just so they can have them on their page, despite there already being segments that cover exactly the same stretch of road.
For what it's worth, I'm in the home stretch on building an app which will tell you all of your segments. It's actually going to try to sort them by how easy it should be for you to get a new PR and/or move up on the leaderboard. Also, it's going to let you download, as a Garmin TCX file, the KOM's effort, your PR effort, and/or the effort of the athlete just above you on the leaderboard. So, you can load those on your Garmin and use your PR or the KOM as your virtual partner and you'll know, while you're doing the segment, how you're doing.
Oh, didn't realise that was still a problem.. There's a post explaining how to use the startTime/endTime to grab the best results, http://marc.durdin.net/2011/11/working-around-limitations-in-strava...
...although I'd be tempted to just parse the data out of the leaderboard HTML, which has a page and per_page parameters which work sensibly:
Yup. That works. Unfortunately, it looks like it only works if you don't use "best=true" (to see the leaderboard). Frankly, I'm only interested in people who's best effort is on par with mine, so I'd like to only see the leaderboard. I don't mind parsing through the data to find everybody's best time, but the segment I'm testing my perl script on... there are 370 people in the leaderboard, but there are about 2,200 efforts. Querying 50 at a time, that's 44 queries instead of 8. I don't like hitting the server like that, unnecessarily.
Joe - there's an offset parameter on most of the API methods, so something like http://app.strava.com/api/v1/segments/792376/efforts?offset=50 should do it (to get all results, you'd increment the offsets by 50 until there's <50 results returned)
There's something resembling API docs on https://stravasite-main.pbworks.com/w/browse - also, because of how the site is created, the data for lots of stuff like the maps-paths, graphs, challenge participants etc are loaded as JSON also, which you can usually find with Chrome's dev tool network tab
Hey Ben, that's great! I never knew that Strava just barfs all of their DB data out over JSON. Here's a question for ya, then... I'm trying to find, for a given segment, the people who are close to my best time. In other words, I want to find the people who occupy the handful of spots above and below me. However, when I try an API url like:
it doesn't show the whole leaderboard (or the whole list of all efforts). Do you know if there's a fix for this?
If anyone happens to like Python, I wrote a script to show a list of segments you've ridden more than once, along with the times for each attempt:
Example output: https://gist.github.com/2925018
Would definitely be nice to have this as part of the site - particularly if you could sort it based on how far up the leader-board you are (e.g so you could see segments you are in the top 10% or whatever)
John, I didn't look hard enough. Thanks!
@ Bruce - does the 'My Results' tab on the segment results not cover this?
I'd like to access my history of times on each segment ridden. Would be a great tool to measure my improvement.
Agree, it can be difficult to track segments you've ridden, not just ones you've got KOMs on (for normal people who have no/few KOMs anyway!)
This would make things more well rounded. For instance, if someone creates a new segment within a ride I did a year ago, I'd like to know if I need to head out that way and do it again to pitch for the KOM.
or the segments I created last year
I dont see anything from october back to when I started using strava my koms are gone, I can see it still on my phone app but not online at home.
I use the My Results bit, but agree with others that a sortable list of all the segments you've ridden would be another excellent feature!
I second the request for this. A sortable list of all segments you have ridden, with the 'trophy' icon next to the ones you are top 10 on
Oh wait, disregard the last bit of that didn't read it properly. I see what you meant.
Definately needs this, not just the KOMs. As for "it's already there" I can't find it either, so if it is, it should be more prominent :).
sortability on various columns and search by name!
the 'explore' feature on the map is already great to find any (and your own) segments
may I suggest the dataTable jQuery plugin?!? it does it all (and more!)
If this is implemented please add a filter to let you screen for segment based on your placing, for example top 10 or 20.
Al, I don't see it. Does this work with the basic membership? There are multiple segment pages depending on if you go through 'explore' or 'training' but either way I still don't see the 'My Results'. Can you provide a little more detail to help me find it? Thanks!
hey -- awesome. Never noticed that option before. Thanks, Al.
You can already do that John.... Just go to the segment page and then click on the 'My Results' link in the left hand column... Hey presto, exactly what you wanted.
It would be nice to be able to go to a segment and see all of my times only for that segment. i.e., if I ride a particular segment all the time, it's more interesting to me to see how my time on that segment changes from ride to ride than to see where I am on the leader board or see that, e.g., today was my 3rd fastest time on that segment. Just a list, sorted by date, of every time I rode that segment would be super helpful from a training standpoint.
Sortability in general under "my segments" would be appreciated... They used to be sorted by "number of times ridden" (or something like that) - now its just chaos! I have loads of KOMs on segments I barely have heard of (either automatically generated or made by someone else) - but really only care about the most popular ones.

COLLEGE GROVE, TN – May 17, 2012 – Coach Hill Farm is pleasantly situated on 95 acres of beautiful flat farmland. With that land comes pigs, ducks, horses, goats, gardens, two smaller guest homes, a waterfront view, and of course… lightning strikes.
The family of five was enjoying an evening at home Monday, May 7, when lightning hit, and destroyed, the chimney of their 2.6 million dollar farm home. According to Coach Hill Farm's listing realtor, Pam Simmons, the strike set fire to the attic while the family was still inside. Everyone escaped without injury.
Simmons said volunteer fire fighters arrived on scene 15-20 minutes after the fire started. The fire marshal was confident that they were able to save the building only because the foam insulation slowed the burning.
The home has been EnergyWise-guaranteed by EnergyWise Structures for the past three years. Richard Rue, owner of EnergyWise Structures, says they do not plan to re-visit this property, after it has gone through repairs, unless contacted by the property owner.
According to Simmons, the home is being re-wired due to lightning strike. There is some water damage, but no smoke damage.

Lifestyle brand
A lifestyle brand is a brand that attempts to embody the interests, attitudes and opinions of a group or a culture. Each individual has an identity based on their choices, experiences, and background (e.g. ethnicity, social class, subculture, nationality, etc.). Some recent contributions[1] have defined lifestyle brands as one of the possible ways of consumer self-expression: customers believe that their identity will be reinforced or supplemented if they publicly associate themselves with a lifestyle brand or other symbol-intensive brands.
Lifestyle brands are suitable to inspire, guide and motivate people, contributing to the definition of their way of life. They bear an ideology, gathering around them a relatively high number of people, thus becoming a recognised social phenomenon.[2]
Many lifestyle brands purposely refer to existing groups or cultures, other originate from the insight of a visionary leader who anticipates a deep and keen social need.
Apple's founder Steve Jobs managed to transform the industries of music entertainment, and telecommunications offering a unique and unmistakable perspective about information technology to hundreds of million of people.
Burton has built its lifestyle brand by drawing on the snowboarding subculture and Quiksilver has done the same with the surfing community.
Patagonia proposes an environmentally friendly way of life. Volcom, with the promise "Youth Against Establishment", gives a label and a sense of belonging to those who are "against" the world of adults.
One popular source for lifestyle brands is also national identity. Victoria's Secret purposely evoked the English upper class in its initial branding efforts, while Burberry is recalling the hip London culture.
Lifestyle brands focus on evoking emotional connections between a consumer and that consumer's desire to affiliate him or herself with a group.
When it appears, a Lifestyle Brand typically covers a semantic territory, creating a disruption with the status quo and proposing an innovative viewpoint on the world. The driver may be the product, the shopping experience, the service, the communication or a combination of these elements.
In 1990s, Abercrombie & Fitch successfully resuscitated a 1950s ideal — the white, masculine "beefcake" — during a time of political correctness and rejection of 1950s orthodoxy, creating a lifestyle brand based on a preppy, young Ivy League lifestyle. Their retail outlets reflect this lifestyle through their luxurious store environment, admirable store associates (models), and their black and white photographs featuring young people "living the Abercrombie & Fitch lifestyle". In doing so, Abercrombie & Fitch has created an outlet for those who lead, or wish to lead or wish to dream about leading this lifestyle.[3]
One key indication that a brand has become a lifestyle is when it successfully extends beyond its original product category.
For example, Nike used to be a product-focused company focusing on making running shoes. But over time, the company and its logo has become associated with the athlete subculture. This has allowed Nike to expand into related athletic categories, such as sports equipment and apparel.
Gaiam started out as a yoga company, but has had great success in developing a lifestyle brand, which has allowed them to move into other markets as varied as solar power and green building supplies.
Nautica started out as a collection of 6 outerwear pieces but built itself into a global lifestyle brand by having collections for Men, Women, Kids, Home and Accessories.
Indeed, a "Lifestyle Brand" status is not just achieved by the way of a wide product range but above all by type of benefit and symbolic value that the customer associates to the brand.[4]

The latter, which is more toxic and poses potential health risks to people, has been shown to cause allergic dermatitis in people who over many years use water containing water with a total chromium level in excess of the recommended maximum contaminant level (MCL). It can be found in the compounds salt sodium dichromate, chromium trioxide and various salts of chromate and dichromate. Hexavalent chromium is used for the production of stainless steel, wood preservation, textile dyes, leather tanning, and as anti-corrosion coatings.
Marhaba noted that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) set a Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG) for total chromium at 0.1 mg/L or 100 parts per billion (ppb). This level was set at a level below which there were no adverse health effects on humans. The EPA has set an enforceable regulation for chromium (total), called a maximum contaminant level (MCL), at 0.1 mg/L or 100 ppb. MCLs are set as close to the health goals as possible, considering cost, benefits and the ability of public water systems to detect and remove contaminants using suitable treatment technologies. In the case of chromium (total), the MCL equals the MCLG, because analytical methods or treatment technology do not pose any limitation. It should be noted that EPA still does not have an enforceable MCL for the more toxic form of chromium (i.e. hexavalent).
The EPA has set the following "best available technologies" for the removal of chromium (total) to below 0.1 mg/L or 100 ppb: a) coagulation/filtration, (b) ion exchange, (c) lime softening, and (d) reverse osmosis membrane processes. All these technologies are generally applied in large scale or at "point of treatment". However, there are "point of use" home units that have ion exchange

13 Reasons Linux 3.13 Is Going To Be Very Exciting

Add A Comment
While the merge window for the
Linux 3.13 kernel
isn't even over yet, this next major kernel update is already looking to be rather exciting with a number of new features.
Here's some of the changes that have been merged for this next kernel release that make it really great:
- The
multi-queue block layer was merged
. The multi-queue block layer (blk-mq) provides
better disk (SSD) performance and with lower disk latencies
by allowing I/O load to now be balanced across multiple CPU cores, supporting multiple hardware queues, etc. The multi-queue block layer can scale much better and developers have reported improvements in the range of 3.5 to 10 times greater IOPS and a 10 to 38x reduction in latency.
AMD HDMI audio improvements
. This includes the AMD hardware on the open-source driver now supporting the reading of ELD audio information, 7.1 channel audio support on capable hardware, and DTS HD-MA and TrueHD audio support. The Radeon HDMI driver is now enabling HDMI audio support by default where as on earlier kernels it required a special kernel command-line switch due to some users experiencing problems.
- AMD has published
open-source Hawaii GPU support
to allow
the Radeon R9 290 series to work on Linux
without Catalyst. Besides needing Linux 3.13, you will also need
other new code in user-space
Radeon DPM is now enabled by default
. For users of the open-source Radeon driver there is now dynamic power management being enabled by default rather than being concealed behind a kernel command-line boot-time switch. Dynamic power management allows AMD GPUs to dynamically adjust their clock speeds and voltages based upon load, allowing for lower heat output and energy consumption while idling. This also allows newer, high-end hardware to operate faster as previously the Radeon driver wouldn't up-clock GPUs compared to their boot frequencies. More details are covered in
Radeon DPM Is Fantastic For Power Use, Thermal Performance
There's now NFTables
as the eventual replacement to IPTables. After several years of work, NFTables will be in line for Linux 3.13 and it offers better error reporting, more efficient filtering rules support, a simpler kernel ABI, and will reduce code duplication over IPTables. IPTables isn't yet dead, but this should be a step in the right direction.
- Intel has published
open-source Broadwell
support for the graphics in the 2014 processors succeeding Haswell. The code comments make us really excited for Intel Broadwell hardware with it said to bring "some of the biggest changes we've seen on the execution and memory management side...equally large and exciting changes for the userspace drivers." Additionally, Broadwell graphics "dwarf any other silicon iteration during my tenure, and certainly can compete with the likes of the gen3->gen4 changes." The Intel Broadwell support will be further refined over future Linux kernel releases and there's also new user-space code required for Broadwell graphics with hardware acceleration on Linux.
New power management and re-clocking code
for the open-source NVIDIA (Nouveau) driver. With the new power management code is now fan management being enabled by default. The re-clocking work does include support for GeForce 400/500 "Fermi" and GeForce 600/700 "Kepler" GPUs, but this re-clocking support isn't yet ready for use or enabled by default. Right now video memory re-clocking isn't working right so there's still a huge performance handicap to Nouveau. Proper re-clocking will allow
Nouveau to really compete with NVIDIA's driver
- There's now an
Armada DRM driver
in the mainline kernel along with
PRIME and Render Nodes improvements
to the MSM driver, overall continuing to improve the open-source ARM graphics landscape on Linux. There's also
mainline NVIDIA Tegra support for new hardware
- There's ongoing work with
Btrfs performance tuning
- Samsung's
F2FS supports new features
as the promising Flash-Friendly File-System.
- In making the Linux power efficiency and performance competitive, there's been
a number of changes to ACPI and power management
, including more hardware having CPUfreq drivers.
- While part of the power management work, Linux 3.13 introduces a
Linux Power-Capping Framework
Run-Time Average Power Liming driver
from Intel. The RAPL driver allows limiting power consumption of certain components from exceeding defined thresholds.
- Intel's open-source Direct Rendering Manager driver now supports
HDMI Stereo/3D
. This support is for the HDMI specification's handling of a standardized stereoscopic 3D display format since version 1.4.
That's 13 interesting items about this next kernel release, but stay tuned for more articles as the 3.13 merge window isn't even over yet! The kernel releases lately have been very exciting in
the road to the Linux 4.0 kernel
in about one year.

USI's Brandon Hogg still playing
Senior guard set for Division II All-Star game
Brandon Hogg will get to play one more college basketball game.
A senior guard and the leading scorer on this season's University of Southern Indiana men's team, Hogg has been chosen to play in the National Association of Basketball Coaches Reese's Division II All-Star Game. The contest will take place March 23 at 6 p.m. CDT at the Bank of Kentucky Center, the site of the NCAA Division II Elite Eight tournament at Northern Kentucky University in Highland Heights, Ky.
"It takes me back a little," said Hogg. "I played like two or three of them in high school.
"It's just fun to see the guys representing their teams and the recognition you get and the different talent you'll be placed with."
The 6-foot-1 Hogg averaged 16.5 points for the season as well as 4.5 rebounds and 2.6 assists.
He also led the Screaming Eagles with 67 3-point baskets, finishing 67-for-189 (35.4 percent) for the season, and said he'll probably compete in the 3-point shooting contest.
Hogg was particularly effective in the Great Lakes Valley Conference Tournament, averaging 19.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 2.3 steals during the final three rounds. He was later named to the All-GLVC Tournament team.
In addition, he was chosen first team All-GLVC and second team Daktronics All-Midwest Region.
This year's all-star game includes 20 players, two from each of the eight regions and four at-large selections.
Hogg is the second USI player selected to play. Former Eagles' all-American Chris Thompson played in the inaugural game in 2006.
"This is a great opportunity for Brandon to showcase his skills with some of the best players in the country," USI coach Rodney Watson said in a written statement.
"He's worked extremely hard to become a top-notch player, and to get a chance to play (in the all-star game) is a great reward for that effort."

I loved staying here! It was a last minute booking, but it was very close to the Duomo and the staff were very helpful and friendly. I stayed in a 4 bedroom private and while it was a little cramped we had a great stay.

Cavaliers guard Kyrie Irving is determined to stay positive despite a broken finger that will keep him off the court for a month. Irving broke his left index finger on Saturday against Dallas and he played the next night in Philadelphia before an MRI revealed a crack in the bone. Irving could keep playing with the injury, but he would risk doing more damage and be sidelined even longer. It's the latest medical setback for the 20-year-old Irving, the NBA's reigning rookie of the year. He has missed time with a foot injury, sprained shoulder, concussion and broken hand in the past two years. Irving's index and middle fingers were taped together as he shot jumpers during practice while his teammates, who have lost six straight games, prepared for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

Memorial Day is a U.S. federal holiday wherein the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces are remembered. The holiday, which is celebrated every year on the final Monday of May, was formerly known as Decoration Day and originated after the American Civil War to commemorate the Union and Confederate soldiers who died in the Civil War. By the 20th century, Memorial Day had been extended to honor all Americans who have died while in military service. Many people visit cemeteries and memorials, particularly to honor those who have died in military service. Many volunteers place an American flag on each grave in national cemeteries. It typically marks the start of the summer vacation season while Labor Day marks its end. (www.wikipedia.org)

New Teen Books:
"Tilt," by Ellen Hopkins – Witnessing the fallout from the poor choices their parents make and the lies adults tell themselves, three teens are clinging to the last remnants of the secure and familiar world in which they've grown up. However, the ground is shifting. What was once clear is now confused. Everything is tilting. Mikayla is sure she's found the love her parents seem to have lost, unwilling to lie anymore about who the boy is, but finds herself struggling to keep it all under control in the face of first love and a horrific loss. Harley, a good girl just seeking new experiences, never expects to hurtle toward self-destructive extremes in order to define who she is and who she wants to be.
"Ketchup Clouds," by Annabel Pitcher – Zoe has an unconventional pen pal – Mr. Stuart Harris, a Texas Death Row inmate and convicted murderer. Then again, Zoe has an unconventional story to tell a story about how she fell for two boys, betrayed one of them, and killed the other. Hidden away in her backyard shed in the middle of the night with a jam sandwich in one hand and a pen in the other, Zoe gives a voice to her heart and her fears after months of silence. Mr. Harris may never respond to Zoe's letters, but at least somebody will know her story – somebody who knows what it's like to kill a person you love. Only through her unusual confession can Zoe hope to atone for her mistakes that have torn lives apart, and work to put her own life back together again.
"How to Love," by Katie Cotugno – Before: Reena Montero has loved Sawyer LeGrande for as long as she can remember: as natural as breathing, as endless as time. However, he's never seemed to notice that Reena even exists…until one day, impossibly, he does. Reena and Sawyer fall in messy, complicated love. Then, Sawyer disappears from their humid Florida town without a word, leaving a devastated – and pregnant – Reena behind. After: Almost three years have passed, and there's a new love in Reena's life – her daughter, Hannah. Reena's gotten used to life without Sawyer, and she's finally getting the hang of this strange, unexpected life. Then, just as swiftly and suddenly as he disappeared, Sawyer turns up again. Reena doesn't want anything to do with him, though she'd be lying if she said Sawyer's being back wasn't stirring something in her. After everything that's happened, can Reena really let herself love Sawyer LeGrande again?

After docking at Belfast, we met our driver/guide and headed out of the city to the Antrim Road. It runs right along the coast of the Irish Sea and is strikingly scenic, with bays and green hillsides studded with sheep and little seaside villages.
The weather was beautiful. All of the meteorological reports we heard in London a week or so ago were gloomy. Record rains. Floods. Cold. But it's actually been pretty nice, at least where we've been, and today was gorgeous.
We paused in Carnlough for a break, and, while we were there, watched a funeral go by. It was an Irish wake, with four pallbearers carrying the coffin of an elderly man, followed by perhaps a hundred or a hundred and fifty mourners, walking very slowly behind the hearse. When they reached a small bridge, they put the coffin into the hearse, but they continued to walk slowly until they passed from view.
Carnlough also has a small salon called "L.A. Beauty." It was gratifying to see that my hometown is having an international cultural impact.
At Carrick-a-rede, we walked a couple of miles along a spectacular coastline to a rope bridge and over to a small, slightly offshore island, from which we had a magnificent view not only back along the Irish coast but across to Rathlin Island and Scotland and the Hebrides. It was a marvelous place, with soft spongy soil, incredibly green grass, and a beautiful sea.
(I've given up on trying to post photographs from the ship. The Internet onboard is incredibly slow. I'll try to make up for it when I return. We've seen some wonderful things.)
From Carrick-a-rede, we went to the Giant's Causeway, a striking coast of volcanic basalt laid down upon a base of limestone sixty million years ago. It evidently extends all the way over to the Hebrides, although I couldn't get a very clear idea of the natural history of the place from the new visitors center, or our lengthy walk along the coast or the map that they gave us. Accordingly, I bought a small book on the local geology – a strong hobby interest of mine.
We had lunch there, and then drove over for a quick look at Dunluce Castle. Funny story there: The family that owned the place was having a party when, suddenly, the castle's kitchen dropped into the sea, taking seven cooks with it. (Okay. Maybe it's not all that funny.) So they decided that it was no longer safe and moved out. But the ruins, on a cliff above the sea, are breathtaking.
We ended our tour of the city with a drive around Belfast itself, visiting both Protestant and Catholic neighborhoods, looking at political murals from each side, passing through the separation fences and gates – walls, really, all too sadly reminiscent of the Berlin wall and the Israeli "peace fence" — that still divide the two communities in certain areas of the city. Our driver/guide, a Protestant, said what I have long maintained: The struggle is not, and never was, about religion; the "Protestants" and "Catholics" who did the violence – it's pretty much over, now – were never churchgoers. But he was quite willing to say that Northern Irish Protestants had indeed discriminated against Catholics in grievous and shockingly brazen ways. It was amazing, though, to see how thoroughly ordinary the most afflicted portions of the city were. And, on such a beautiful day, it was difficult to imagine the murderous hatreds that boiled here and that, evidently, still simmer in some hearts.
We visited Queen's University, Belfast, drove past the area where the Titanic was built, talked about C. S. Lewis (who was born in Belfast, but left when he was young and had no particularly happy memories of the city and never expressed any real fondness for it).
I have to say that I wasn't expecting much from our stay in Belfast, but I enjoyed it much more than I had anticipated. I had expected the scenery of Ireland to be captivating, but, to this point, it hadn't captivated me. Today, though, it made a very serious effort to do so.
Thirteen hours out of Belfast, Northern Ireland.

|Author and speaker Gary Kah sees several connections between the September 11th attacks on America and the push toward globalization. He comments in this article.
On Tuesday morning, September 11th, America was caught off-guard, completely unprepared for an act of terror on such a monstrous scale. My wife and I sat stunned in front of our television as the unbelievable series of events unfolded. Like most Americans, we were horrified by the images of terror, pain and grief that came across our set. We have been gripped by the scope of this tragedy and sympathize with those in New York, Pennsylvania and Washington D.C. who lost loved ones.
Now America must respond...but how? What do we need to know about our enemies, about ourselves and about God's purpose if we are to see victory in this land?
It is important for us to realize that most of America's six million Muslims are not terrorists. A majority, I believe, are peace-loving and decent citizens who love this country. Although we as Bible-believing Christians disagree with many of their religious beliefs and practices, and must not support them, it would be wrong to persecute Muslims for their faith. Rather, we must go out of our way to show them the love of Jesus Christ, hoping they will receive His gift of forgiveness and eternal life.
Having said this, we must nevertheless be aware of the fact that Islam has historically been a bloody religion. This is partly due to the strong influence of violent secret societies in Islamic culture and the wide acceptance of peripheral religious writings that promise a better place in paradise–including a harem of 72 virgins–for those men who die while taking the lives of "unbelievers." It is also due to Islam's holiest book, The Koran, which is militant in its views toward Christians and Jews. Consider the following quotes taken directly from The Koran:
Many Muslims in the United States have probably never read all of the Koran or, at least, do not take all of its decrees literally. The problem is, if they keep their innermost beliefs to themselves, how do we distinguish those Muslims who accept all of The Koran's teachings from those who do not. If only one in a thousand were willing to kill for their faith we could be in serious trouble. I would not be surprised if there are hundreds, if not thousands, of potential Islamic terrorists in this country at this very moment...not a pleasant thought!
Our leaders will need great wisdom and discernment to deal with this delicate situation. How does one protect peace-loving Muslims while punishing those who approve of terrorism, if one cannot tell the difference?
I first became a student of global religious and political trends during the 1980s when I was the Europe and Middle East Trade Specialist for the government of Indiana. My travels took me to over 20 countries where I worked hand-in-hand with U.S. Embassy personnel who were responsible for arranging most of my meetings. Through my contacts at the embassies and in the international business community, I soon discovered that there was a concerted effort underway to establish a one world government. A push was also being launched to unify the world's religions into one collective whole. Various interfaith/New Age meetings were being planned to make this happen. I wrote about these developments in my two books En Route to Global Occupation and The New World Religion in an attempt to warn the world, particularly Christians, of things to come. If we were forewarned we could perhaps become spiritually prepared for the difficult times ahead.
As a result of my research, I became fully convinced that terrorism is an important part of the one world agenda. I believe Satan is using it to apply pressure on Western society to get people to go along with a solution that under normal circumstances they would never accept. If humans could be brought to the point where they thought the world is on the verge of destruction, then perhaps they might finally be willing to embrace a one world political/religious system promising to bring peace while solving Earth's many problems.
If this conclusion is accurate, then we can be certain that Osama bin Laden and his Taliban supporters are not acting alone. The Al Qaeda network of terrorists is vast and has a large secret support base throughout the Islamic realm and around the world. During my years with the government I discovered that secret societies are a big part of Middle Eastern culture (and have a significant influence in other nations too). The most dominant of these societies is Freemasonry.
A prominent Arab-Christian leader in Lebanon once told me that King Assad of Syria was a Mason. He thought that Saddam Hussein was as well, although he could not verify it. Many of the most influential globalists who are pushing the one world agenda are also Masons, including Mikhail Gorbachev. Recently while doing a talk show in California, the host, Dr. Stan Monteith, told me that he now had documentation proving that Gorbachev became a Mason while in England.
The fact is, secret societies have an ultimate goal. This is why they exist and why they are secret.[1] On pages 144-145 of En Route to Global Occupation I wrote about their hidden agenda: "In August 1871 Albert Pike, the head of Scottish Rite Freemasonry... described a distant final war, which he felt would be necessary to usher in the New World Order. According to Pike, this conflict between two future superpowers would be sparked by first igniting a crisis between Islam and Judaism." He went on to state:
I continued to write,
I penned these words in 1987. The book went to print in 1991. I had no idea how close this depiction might eventually come to reality.
Where does America fit in, and what role, if any, is it playing in shaping the emerging global government? During the last century our beloved country has been blessed beyond measure. By the grace of God and through His favor it has risen to become the wealthiest and most powerful nation on Earth. However, since World War II the influence of the U.S. has increasingly been manipulated by internationalists to accomplish their purpose.
Beginning in a major way with the founding of the United Nations, the chief task of the United States would be to "build" the New World Order. Only the U.S. had the wherewithal to put all of the pieces in place. It has been our financial resources, creative technology and cultural diversity that have made the occult New Age dream of "one world" possible. We are also the only nation comprised of people from all other nations, giving us an unparalleled influence over the rest of the world.
But now that we have taken humanity to the verge of global unification through the United Nations, is there anything left for us to do? Has the United States fulfilled its destiny in the eyes of global planners? How might the answer to this question affect our future?
If global leaders still have a purpose for America in their overall scheme of things, then perhaps we have a bit more time. But, if in their eyes, we have achieved our purpose, then we are expendable and could soon be eliminated from the picture. I addressed these possibilities in En Route to Global Occupation. Regarding the fate of America, I wrote:
The current unfolding crisis could determine America's future, one way or the other. Maybe the purpose of the recent attacks was merely to give America the "opportunity" to further lead the way in uniting the world against a common enemy–terrorism. At this very moment an unprecedented international coalition is being built to combat this terrible menace. But could this coalition and the steps it puts in motion actually help speed the cause of global government?
The world's unified response to terrorism, no matter how restrained, will only serve to strengthen the hand of government at the expense of personal liberty. It will lead to higher taxes, increased surveillance, less privacy and fewer freedoms, to say nothing of the many smaller inconveniences such as having to arrive two hours early at airports for flight travel. All of these are natural responses by governments to protect their citizens, but represent a victory for terrorists nonetheless. If national governments aren't extremely careful, these measures could be used to further empower the existing international infrastructure, leading us more quickly to world government.
September's atrocities are producing another result. The spirit of interfaithism is running at an all time high in America. Every religious service I have witnessed on network television during the last two weeks has been interfaith in nature. The eventual "success" of a world government will depend heavily on the degree of religious unity it can achieve throughout the world. Revelation, chapters 13 & 14, describe a global political system that will use its economic and military might to enforce a deceptive form of religious worship. Once in place, this corrupt antichrist system will become so invincible that only the return of Jesus Christ will stop it (II Thessalonians, chapter 2).
We have considered one potential scenario for America; but another possibility exists. If America has fulfilled her purpose for the cause of globalism, the coming war could be a trap designed to bring her to ruin. How could this happen? Let's consider a potential sequence of events.
In the very near future America will undoubtedly retaliate for the evil perpetrated against her. Bin Laden expects nothing less and will use America's response to unify Islamic fundamentalists. He and his supporters will do so by declaring a Jihad (holy war). When this declaration goes forth a sizable segment of the Islamic population, not only in the Mideast, but elsewhere, could respond. If so, a second and unprecedented wave of terrorism would hit the U.S. and, possibly, Israel. But this would be just the beginning.
After multiple rounds of terrorist acts–potentially ranging from biological/chemical warfare to the detonation of nuclear devices–the impact on U.S. citizens and the economy would be devastating. Completely preoccupied with managing these disasters, and in a state of disarray, America would be in her weakest hour. If America's historical enemies (Russia and China) were ever to make a move, this would be the time. As unthinkable as it may seem, they could use such an opportunity "to finish us off."
We have been led to believe that we are the world's only remaining superpower; but nothing could be further from the truth. A number of former Soviet military leaders–some of them now Christians–have warned the United States that while Russia appears to be economically weak, from a military standpoint she is stronger than ever. The fact is, Russia has been engaged in a concerted military build-up while we have been scaling back.
In my book The New World Religion I document numerous aggressive statements made by Mikhail Gorbachev since the beginning of glasnost and perestroika. None are more troubling than the following. Speaking to the Politburo in 1987, he remarked:
Gorbachev is not alone in his views. There are still forces in Russia (as well as China) who would love to see America brought down.
Fortunately, a third and more optimistic scenario exists for the United States. If we, as a nation, repented of our sins–beginning with you and me–and if we humbled ourselves before God, in the name of Jesus Christ, I believe God would restore His protective covering over our nation and delay our impending doom, as He did with Nineveh many centuries ago. Our repentance would have to be genuine and come from our leadership down. However, the clock is ticking. Time is short!
If the year 2000 was a coming-out celebration for globalists, this year–and the years to follow–promise to be a time of implementing the one world agenda. The events and meetings being planned for the rest of this year and beyond are specifically designed to give "teeth" to the United Nations and the cause of world government.
Global planners are covering all of the bases–from economics and interfaith religion to issues of sovereignty, gun control, and laws on how to rear children. Paramount to the success of their globalization efforts is the public's acceptance of their extensive environmental program, which is intended to be the main vehicle for achieving U.N. empowerment. The core document of their agenda is the Earth Charter, viewed as the "Magna Carta" of the new world civilization. The chief spokesperson on behalf of the Charter is Mikhail Gorbachev.
Gorbachev officially unveiled the Charter during a formal ceremony in Urbino, Italy on June 8th. He hopes to get his Charter cleared through the U.N. by the end of next year, after which he expects to move forward with the rapid implementation of global government. If the U.S. doesn't cooperate in helping to "empower" the U.N., Gorbachev and his allies have hinted that the world government might be constructed around a united Europe instead, with Russia at the helm.
Working closely with Gorbachev on this agenda is Pope John Paul II. In The New World Religion I share excerpts from a Denver Post article in which Gorbachev describes his special relationship with the pope.
Gorbachev's friendship with the pope has not been in vain. On November 4th and 5th of last year, unbeknownst to the public, the pope hosted an unprecedented global planning session. The Vatican web page referred to the event as a meeting of "the world's parliament." With prominent European Union officials, thousands of members of national parliaments, and powerful dignitaries such as Gorbachev in attendance, this meeting eclipsed even the prestigious U.N. Millennium Summit as the most important gathering of political leaders last year. Amazingly, to the best of our knowledge, not one American television network covered the event.
Along with playing a critical role in the push for global government the pope has been at center-stage in Mideast diplomacy, meeting with Yasser Arafat and numerous other Arab leaders in the last 18 months. Earlier this year the pope even visited an Islamic Mosque in Syria. Western diplomats, recognizing the Church of Rome's influence, have regularly consulted with Vatican officials over the Jewish/Islamic dilemma.
The end-time alliances spoken of in the book of Revelation are quickly taking shape; the march toward a "new world civilization" is gaining momentum. Even as a fulltime researcher and writer on this subject I am unable to keep up with all of the rapidly unfolding developments. The stage is nearly set!
Apart from becoming overwhelmed, how do we respond to the current state of affairs? In order to answer this question we must first address another important question, one being asked in the aftermath of last month's tragedy: "How could God have done this?" Some of those who lost loved ones are unfortunately blaming God for what happened.
As difficult as life can sometimes become, we must all be careful never to blame God for evil when it occurs. God is perfect and created man perfect. It was Satan who lured man into sin and brought evil and destruction into the human race. What happened on September 11th was of demonic origin, coming from the pits of Hell. God did not cause this; but He did allow it. In His sovereign power He could have stopped these events from occurring in any of a number of ways, but He didn't. What are we, as a people, to learn from this experience?
We must first of all realize that there are times when decent godly people are unfairly treated or persecuted by Satan's vessels for no other reason than because they are doing God's will. We need look no further than the fact that all but one of Jesus' disciples were martyred for their faith. Their deaths were not the result of God's judgment, but rather of Satan's persecution. God in His infinite justice and goodness will see to it that those persecuted for His name's sake will be abundantly rewarded in Heaven, while the evildoers will be justly punished for their deeds.
There are other occasions, however, when God lifts His protective covering from individuals or nations because they have refused to repent of their sins. In such cases, God allows evil to run its course to show people where their actions will eventually lead if they keep going in the same direction.
If God were to lift His protective covering from the entire world, Satan could quickly destroy all of mankind. The Bible teaches that Satan "is as a roaring lion...seeking whom he may devour." (II Peter 5:8) His sole purpose is to deceive and destroy in order to foil God's plan of redemption (John 3:16; I Thessalonians 5:9; II Peter 3:9).
It is important for us to understand that we, as humans, exist only because of the grace and mercy of a loving God. God's purpose for temporarily lifting His protective covering is to bring repentance (a turning away from our sinful ways) so that we are not destroyed. But if we, in our stubbornness, refuse to obey, we will suffer the consequences–the infliction of pain or death and, ultimately, eternal damnation. [Death can occur as a result of many different causes, such as old age. In this instance we are considering only those cases involving the unnatural, violent death of people at the hands of their enemies. In the case of individuals who died in the recent terrorist attacks, those who had placed their trust in Jesus are permanently in His care; tragically, those who didn't know Jesus are now eternally lost. This emphasizes the importance of being prepared to face eternity.]
We can learn from ancient Israel. The Bible reveals that as long as the Israelites were obedient and faithful to God, they enjoyed His protection. However, when they rebelled by embracing the false gods and forbidden ways of surrounding nations, God gradually lifted His protective shield allowing them to be overtaken by their foes. When the Israelites repented of their sins, God once again restored their covering and they were able to defeat their adversaries.
The lesson here for America is, if we are to experience the Lord's blessing and protective covering, we must walk uprightly before Him, especially if we are going to battle. In order to stand against a vicious and determined enemy we must be spiritually and morally prepared. At the present time, WE ARE NOT!
While it is noble to love one's country, we must realize that a sudden burst of patriotism will not win the coming war; nor will celebrating the resilience of the human spirit and displaying "God bless America" banners if we do not honor Him. Holding interfaith prayer vigils and services won't help either.
God will not tolerate the acceptance of false deities. He will not respond to prayers offered in the joint names of Muhammad and Jesus Christ. Such practices are a mockery unto Him. It is because of these very things that God lifts his hand of protection from a people. God provides salvation only through Jesus Christ–not through Buddha, Krishna, Muhammad or anyone else.
(Also read John 3:18, 36; I John 2:22-23; and Galatians 1:7-9)
Along with pursuing false gods and occult practices America is guilty of many other sins. Never in history has a nation declined so fast morally. In one generation she has gone from being a predominantly Christian nation and a moral leader to being a center of depravity.
Her pornography and sex-crazed culture is being exported around the world–assisted by the Internet. Her greed, pride and arrogance have become infamous. Her great liberties have been abused to pave the way for every type of sinful indulgence. She behaves as if she is the queen of the world, but she has become a haunt for every unclean spirit. We, America, have led the world to drink of the maddening wine of our adulteries!
In the early 1990s I met a Romanian pastor while visiting friends in Wisconsin. He was not afraid to speak his mind. He was deeply disappointed and discouraged by what he saw in the United States and how it was affecting his homeland. Dumitru said:
When I heard Dumitru speak these words I was grief-stricken, because I knew they were true. He went on to share that God had brought him to America to warn this country of coming destruction if it did not repent. He said that God would not tolerate our sins much longer and would soon lift his protective hand from us. When this happens he said, parts of America would burn, being destroyed by fire, resulting from an attack.
Dumitru, however, also said that God dearly loved the people of this country and had taken note of the many Christians over the years who had served Him faithfully and had spread His Gospel message around the world. He said that God wanted to spare and protect us but if America didn't repent soon, it would be too late.
A few years ago Dumitru went to be with the Lord. He continued to preach this message until the day he died, never retracting his statements. His words resonated with me and stuck in my mind, I believe, because I felt the same way.
God is an awesome, loving God–full of mercy and goodness. But He cannot and will not resume His divine protection of our nation unless we, as a people, repent of our sins and humble ourselves before Him. We must take to heart the words of the Lord found in II Chronicles 7:14: "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."
If we are to be healed and restored as a nation we must seek God's forgiveness and turn completely from our sinful ways. We must individually place our full trust and faith in Jesus Christ alone. If we do, I truly believe that God will honor our humility and obedience and will spare our land.
We must pray for those around us who do not know Christ as Lord and then share His saving message with them. We must also pray for our leaders, including President Bush. So much of a nation's direction depends on its leadership. We must ask God to grant them discernment along with the boldness to act on their discernment.
Words cannot adequately describe the extreme sense of urgency I have over this country's spiritual condition and the lateness of the hour. I would not have strength to keep going each day if it wasn't for the fact that I am certain God is all powerful and still in control. I find great comfort in knowing that Jesus Christ holds the key to eternity.
If you have never accepted Jesus as your Savior this is the time to do so. It is not too late. The fact that you are reading this message is not a coincidence. God loves you and wants you to spend eternity with Him.
Simply pray to God in your own words. Confess to him that you are a sinner and would like to be forgiven. Tell Him that you accept His Son, Jesus Christ, and that you believe His sacrifice on the cross was sufficient to take away your sins. God will hear your prayer if it comes from a sincere, repentant heart.
If you prayed this prayer, begin to read from God's Word, the Bible, and pray to Him each day. Draw near to Jesus and He will draw near to you. Be assured, our Lord will NOT be defeated. He is worthy of our trust!

I think this "Find-a-Grave" website is wonderful, and I hope more people will add data to it. Hopefully my input will help someone out there.
I so enjoy finding & visiting the old pioneer cemeteries, where the dates go back to the 1700-1800's.
I'll be more than happy to make corrections and/or add data, make relationship links, etc, but I am curtailing (not stopping) transferring memorials due to a growing misunderstanding of what Find-a-grave is all about.
Please DO NOT not leave me a message of "any kind" without leaving a way for me to get back to you. It makes no sense to do so - it is useless and it will be ignored.
Your "e-mail" must be present in your messages to me.
DO NOT ask for transfers without return contact information either.
TRANSFERS: Per Findagrave regulations:
Transfer requests should be for direct relatives within four generations. This would be your siblings, parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. This DOES NOT include aunts, uncles and cousins.
God Bless!

Della was my ex husband's grandmother. She died before he was born. William was his uncle who committed suicide, was cremated and his ashes buried with his mother, Della. Della was married to Charles Edgar (1899-1967) whom is buried with his second wife in Zionsville indiana. Her parents were Martha and Jerome McCain. I at first thought Bill was buried on top his mother but was able to verify yesterday that he had been cremated and his aches are buried with her. I can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. Thank you.
