In this research article the sustainability of different practices to collect the metal fraction of household waste in the Helsinki metropolitan area, Finland is examined. The study is carried out by calculating and comparing the greenhouse gas reduction potential of optional practices for collecting the metal fraction of household waste in the Helsinki metropolitan area, Finland. In order to locate the greenhouse gas reduction potential of the separate collection of the metallic fraction of municipal solid waste (MSW) collected from residential sources, a comparative carbon footprint analysis using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) on six different waste management scenarios is carried out. The modeled system consisted of a waste collection system, transportation, and different waste management alternatives, including on-site separation, separation at the waste management facility as well as metallurgical recovery of separated scrap. The results show that, in terms of greenhouse gas emissions, separate collection and recycling of the metallic fraction of solid MSW at residential properties is the preferable option compared to a scenario with no source sorting and incineration of everything. According to this research scenario where the metal fraction of solid household waste was not source-separated or collected separately have clearly higher greenhouse gas emissions compared to all the other scenarios with separate collection for metals. In addition, metal recycling by regional collection points has considerably lower greenhouse gas emission potential than metal recycling by collection directly from residential properties.
Recycling of metals in solid household waste is an integral part of sustainable waste management in Europe. The EU member states are required to establish collection schemes for different recyclable waste fractions including metal by 2015, and reuse or recycle 50% of the recyclable materials from households by 2020. The EU Packaging Directive 94/62/EC [
In 2007, the waste management system of the Helsinki metropolitan area covered the cities of Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa and Kauniainen, consisting of households with all together around 906,000 inhabitants [
In addition to regional drop-off collection systems, the households and properties negotiate metal collection contracts with private waste collection providers independently. The metal fraction is then collected separately from other solid household waste fractions. This leads to a situation that the adjacent properties might have a contract with a different collector, which makes the collection system economically as well as environmentally ineffective.
Producer responsibility also applies to metal packaging. The producers and importers of metal packages are required to arrange the disposal of the packages at their end of life. This has been defined in the Finnish Waste Act (1072/1993) [
The target material of this study was the MSW collected from residential properties, in this article referred to in short by term
The total amount of solid household waste in the Helsinki metropolitan area in 2007 was 339,060 t, which is 336 kg/capita [
Metals are often considered to be 100% recyclable. In theory this is true for pure metals, but in practice it is unrealistic for several reasons. Recyclability is strongly affected by the collection efficiency and the quality of the sorted metal fraction and the separation processes chosen and available for treatment of the metal fractions. In the Helsinki region solid household waste forms about half of the total MSW [
Currently, there is a debate whether more effective collection schemes of metal fraction of solid household waste would be sustainable in terms of the emitted greenhouse gases (GHG). It is however possible that material recycling produces more GHG emissions than what can be credited by substituted material in primary material production [
The Waste & Resources Action Program report (WRAP) [
The purpose of this research was to analyze and compare the changes in the GHG emissions reduction potential of six alternative metal fractions of solid household waste collection schemes in the Helsinki metropolitan area.
The research questions were as follows:
– How much does a separate metal collection affect the GHG emissions of the MSW management system?
– What would be the best collection system in terms of GHG emissions?
– What are the benefits of different collection scenarios chosen in terms of GHG emissions?
Life Cycle Inventory Assessment (LCIA) was carried out in order to compare the environmental impacts of the alternative collection scenarios of the metal fraction of household packaging waste. Data from the literature and from the local waste management authority was used for the assessment. The scenarios with alternative separate collection systems for metal were assessed by means of a life cycle assessment. The article is based on the results of the research completed by the first author [
In order to compare the collection scenarios for the metal fraction of solid household waste, it was necessary to consider the overall GHG emissions generated by metal collection systems and the effect their utilization has on the overall GHG emissions. In other words, the entire process from metal collection, separation, mixed household waste collection, metal separation from MSWI bottom ash, and substitution effect of primary metals production was studied. The emissions from MSWI were assumed to remain unchanged between the different scenarios and were not analyzed separately.
The six scenarios of the study are described in
In Scenario 0, all the solid household waste is incinerated, forming a benchmark for comparison of the other scenarios. In this scenario, all the metals end up in to the MSWI process. In Scenario 1, the separate metal collection is organized using only 135 regional collection points. Scenarios 2–4 were residential property collection scenarios, where the metals are separately collected from residential properties of over 20, over 10 and over five households, respectively. In Scenarios 2–4, there are also 135 regional collection points, which are targeted for properties that do not have residential property collection. Scenario 5 represents the other end of the spectrum, where the metals are source-separated for recycling with known source sorting efficiency in all the properties and there is no regional collection. In the Scenarios 1–5, the metals that are not source-separated, end up into the incineration process.

The collection services were optimized according to the accumulation of the metal fraction of solid household waste. The collection services for suburban single-family houses and suburban apartment blocks were assumed to be similar. The source-separated metal fraction of solid household waste was collected directly from properties or collected with a regional collection scheme with centrally placed regional drop-off containers.
The modeled scenarios were formulated in collaboration with the Helsinki Region Environmental Services Authority (HSY) and took into account the HSY requirements for future collection systems.

The metal fraction of solid household waste was considered to be used as substitute raw materials to produce new metal products. The method used in this research was a life cycle assessment in terms of emitted GHG. In this assessment, the goal was to describe the relevant parts of the technological system of recycling of solid household waste metal fraction. The assessment is described in the following section.
The GHG reduction potential was calculated in terms of GWP. GWP describes total warming impact of equal masses of different greenhouse gases on atmosphere over chosen period of time. The gases that contribute to GWP are mainly CO2, CH4, and N2O. The values used in this study are from the IPCC 2007 Fourth Assessment Report [
The GHG emissions were computed both from direct emissions and indirect emissions. The direct emissions taken into account were caused by motor vehicles, which were used to transport and move the materials from collection sites to recycling facilities and further to material recovery processing plants.
The indirect emissions taken into account in this study were:
– Emissions caused by production of electricity and fuel consumed at the treatment plant.
– Collection and transport of metal fraction of solid household waste from households. Emissions caused by production of diesel fuel and the release of GHG emissions by the collection trucks.
– Material substitution. Use of recycled metal fraction as raw material in metal production processes was accounted as credited GHG emissions, compared to metal production from primary raw materials. The production of sorted metal feeds into the metal production processes also required energy, but led to overall energy savings at the metal production plant.
– The main energy carriers were coal, natural gas, oil and electricity, which were produced by different energy carriers. GHG emissions caused by using and production of these energy carriers.
Indirect emissions based on construction of buildings, machinery and equipment for provision of the above-mentioned products and services were not included in the life-cycle inventory.
For this study, the consequential life cycle assessment approach (described in Ekvall & Weidema [
The functional unit, the base unit of assessment, was defined as one ton of the mixed metal fraction of solid household waste. GWP per one ton of collected metal fraction of solid household waste was linked to this functional unit. GWP values were expressed in kg CO2-equivalent (CO2-eq)/t collected metals in different scenarios. The GHG reduction potential was calculated by comparing the GWP of different scenarios.
The scope and the boundary of the researched system are shown in
According to the scenarios, the metals are either source-separated into separate metal fractions, and the rest ends up in the MSWI process with the mixed waste. The researched system (

The following aspects were taken into account and assumptions were made when formulating the scope of the study:
– The recovery of metals from waste was taken into account as a credit in metal production systems;
– Only the recycling and collection processes of the metal fraction of solid household waste was included in this study;
– It was assumed that the new district collection system with 135 drop-off collection points had been introduced and the other scenarios were compared with this situation, and it was assumed that the new incineration plant was already operating;
– The suggested collection systems included the combination of the collection of the metal fraction of solid household waste at properties and from regional containers;
– The offered service level was assumed to be the same in all areas;
– The WEEE scrap and metal cans with refundable deposit were left outside this study;
– The emissions caused by the construction, production, and maintenance of the transportation system and collection infrastructure was left outside the study;
– Aluminum was not recovered after the MSWI process. This assumption was a crude, in reality up to 25% of the aluminum could be recovered from the bottom ash [
– The emissions from the disposal of the non-metallic fraction of MSWI plant bottom ash was assumed to remain independent from the metal concentration in the ash;
– The transportation of tin-plated steel scrap was not included in this study, because this fraction was transported abroad and its accurate destination was unknown. In addition, the transportation of raw materials was included the data of the used databases. Nevertheless the containerships used for transportation were large, and thus the amount of collected scrap material was diminishingly small compared to the total shipped steel scrap. Consequently, the GHG emissions caused by shipping this material would be diminishingly small per ton;
– The definition of the time frame was from the moment the metal waste was produced to the moment it turned into a new metal product, in practice grave to cradle.
The emissions caused before collection of the metal fraction of solid household waste were not included in this study.
The fraction chosen for the study was the metal fraction of solid household waste. In the research carried out by Lassila & Tikanoja, the research composition of collected metals was analyzed in a regional collection point in Vantaa [
The composition of the metal fraction of solid household waste.
In this study, the main fractions were tin-plated steel, aluminum and stainless steel. According to Buró and Holappa [
Four parameters were used to describe how much of the metal fraction of solid household waste was recycled: 1) household source sorting efficiency, 2) separation efficiency of different metal fractions from the pre-sorted mixed metal fraction of solid household waste in the recycling processes, 3) separation efficiency of different metals from MSWI bottom ash and 4) material recovery in secondary metal production.
The source sorting efficiency for metals is defined as the amount of source-separated material in relation to the total amount of that material in the generated waste. The non-separated material was included in the mixed household waste. The source sorting efficiency applies to the whole system and is the product of scenario coverage, the individual persons source sorting efficiency and rate of participation. The separation efficiency of the recycling process was defined as the recycling process yield and final recovery of material.
Property-specific source sorting efficiency was calculated from a study performed by Vares and Lehtinen (2007) [
Property collection was assumed to yield higher source sorting efficiencies than regional district collection with regional drop-off containers. The regional collection scenarios did not include an increase in recycling rate in the near future, because there are no plans for building more than 135 regional drop-off points [
The estimate for the yield of separation of metals from MSWI bottom ash was 50% in base case and 80% in the first stage. This was assumed to be the same for steel and stainless steel. Two different estimations were made, because the yield can rise in the future due to new technologies utilized. The estimation was done for the whole metal fraction of household waste, but only recovery of steel and stainless steel was taken into account and the effect of separation of aluminum was tested in a sensitivity analysis. Separation from bottom ash is analyzed more thoroughly in
It was assumed that recyclables would be brought to regional drop-off containers without additional use of cars. The delivery to recycling centers and to metal separation plants was assumed to be by collection trucks. In mixed waste, collection emissions were allocated only for the metals. The used values for diesel consumption for the collection scenarios in regional collection was 0.44 L/km [
In this study, CO2-eq emissions per ton of transported mixed waste and per ton of collected metal fraction were analyzed.
The emissions for collection were calculated from accrual of driving kilometers of collection trucks in regional collection and in property collection. The calculations were made based on the filling rates of collection bins in different sized residential properties, and the frequency with which collection bins were emptied in a year was calculated. In the regional collection, emission calculations where done based on the same principle.
As the number of people per collection bin was known, the filling rate of the collection bins from different size residential buildings was calculated using estimates on collected metal/person/annum and the source sorting efficiencies, 30% (base case) and 50% (first phase). The volume of the collection bin was 240 liters in property collection. The regional collection filling rate was assumed to be 80% and the source sorting efficiencies (

The population in each collection point was estimated using mixed household waste collection data [
The collected metal fraction of solid household waste was assumed to be transported by trucks to the treatment facilities. The property collection was assumed to be transported by trucks collecting glass and metal fraction of solid household waste. The trucks have two different compartments with pressuring mechanism to maximizing the bulk density of the collected material. The transport distances taken into account were the transit of collection trucks from depot to collection bins, the distances between the collection bins, the transport to collection station and finally the transfer of collected fraction to material recycling facility. The modeled transport distances were set to 124 km from collection stations to material recycling facility. The average distance from property collection bins to collection station was calculated from the average distance of postal codes to the closest collection station. The resulted average distance was 16 km. In regional collection, the average distance to the closest collection station was assumed to be the same 13.3 as the collection point's distance in regional collection. The distance from the depot to the collecting area was assumed to be 8 km in property collection [
The required driving kilometers for the collection of the metal fraction was calculated from the average distance of the collection. The amount of the needed number of pick-ups was calculated with the collection frequency derived from the filling rate of collection bins in different sized properties. The transports to collection stations and transports of the collection vehicles from the depot to the collection area in property collection were calculated from the required collecting rounds during one year. Collection rounds were calculated from the capacity of the collecting vehicles and the bulk density of the collected material. The average bulk density of collected metals was 120 kg/m3 [
It was assumed that the regional collection was performed by pick-up truck carrying a capacity of 2 tons of metal scrap [
The web-based calculation system for traffic exhaust emissions and energy consumption LIPASTO [
In the model, mixed waste was transported directly to the local MSWI plant. The incineration plant does not exist yet, but will be built within the next few years. The removal of large metal objects before incineration was assumed. The incineration technology used in the model was an open-hearth incinerator. The metal recovery from MSWI bottom ash was modeled based on the study of Kinnunen
Different metals from metal fraction of solid household waste were mechanically separated after delivery to metal recovery facilities. The energy consumption of the processes was included in the LCI data used and was not calculated separately (
The yield and the grade for metals recovered from MSWI bottom ash were estimated using earlier studies [
The emissions for metal recycling and recovery of the metal fraction of solid household waste was calculated by using Athena's [
Stainless steel production emissions were estimated using Eurofer's [
The output after recycling and pre-treatment processes for aluminum and steel and stainless steel was assumed to produce substitutes for primary raw materials for metallurgical processes. The resulted yields are presented in

In the WRAP (2006) report the benefit for recycling was calculated in most of these earlier studies by comparing Electric-Arc-Furnace (EAF)-route production to Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF)-route for steel production [
According to Smith
For tin-plated steel, the used data was the average data from the United States and from Canada. In all other cases, the European average data was used. Loss of material and quality of the materials during these processes were taken into account.
GHG reduction potentials of recycling for each metal were calculated by subtracting primary production emissions from secondary production emission. Total credits were calculated with the assumption that recycling would replace primary production with the amount that was collected in every scenario. The results are presented in terms of comparison of GWP of different scenarios, in other words, as GHG reduction potential of different scenarios.
Energy was also included in the LCI data applied and was not separately taken under consideration. In the LCI data, electricity supplied is assumed to reflect the average national mix.
The GHG reduction potential for the different collection scenarios compared to the situation, where no metals were recovered, ranges from -8000 to -9000 t CO2-eq, when source sorting efficiency was 30% and from -12,000 to -14,000 t CO2-eq with 50% source sorting efficiency. In Scenario 0 the GHG reduction potential is -3400 t CO2-eq with a 50% yield from MSWI bottom ash and -5500 t CO2-eq with a 80% yield from MSWI bottom ash. The GHG reduction potential of the regional collection Scenario 1 is -4600 t CO2-eq. Results show that separate collection from residential properties, or "property collection", clearly produces more environmental benefits in terms of GHG emissions compared to the scenario without source sorting. One of the reasons for this is the choice made of not recovering the aluminum from MSWI bottom ash as well as the loss of metal quality due to the incineration process.
The major cause for higher GWP of regional collection, compared to property collection, is that the recycling rate is rather low at regional collection points. The reason for the low recycling rate for regional collection is likely that collection is less controlled at regional collection points compared to property collection and that consumers are more likely to separate at source rather than travel to a collection point. Kaila [
In terms of GWP, the best scenario was the "separate collection for all"- scenario, Scenario 5. The second best practice is to collect metals from properties that include five or more apartments and from regional collection points (Scenario 4). The GWP of Scenario 4 is about 3–5 percentage units higher than that of Scenario 5. Sensitivity analysis shows that the effect of the metal yield or grade on the GWP does not affect the scenario rank order. In addition, the sensitivity analysis shows that not performing a metal yield from MSWI bottom ash results in a significantly higher GWP. This indicates that separation from MSWI bottom ash is important, but cannot replace source separation. A larger amount was saved elsewhere in the system due to recycling. Furthermore, taking into account the fossil fuels with regard to energy content instead of mass and scarcity does not change the tendency observed in the results. The results presented here have been weighted with regard to the scarcity of the resources, where the weighting criterion of the EDIP1997 method [
It is clear that a sorting or separation efficiency of 100% is theoretical only, but efficiency could be increased by targeted initiatives such as better guidance and education as well as providing a better infrastructure for citizens. As an example, the deposit-return system of beverage cans and bottles reaches a sorting efficiency near 100%. Such an efficiency, however, is not realistic to expect from the recovery of the metal fraction of solid household waste. Nevertheless, a future target of 50% reuse or recycling can be set and be expected to be realizable. This will depend on the development in waste composition, amount of waste as well as recycling technology. Therefore, development in waste amounts and efficiency of collection scenarios should be carefully monitored in the future.
Reduction of emissions from collection and transport could make recycling more beneficial, but reduction of emissions from waste treatment is needed as well. Merrild [
The net GHG emissions reduction potential of different collection scenarios, relative to the benchmark scenario reduction potential, is shown in
The net greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction of different collection scenarios relative to the benchmark Scenario 0 (MRF=Metal Recovery Facility).
Poor availability of real data made several assumptions necessary in this study. The effect of the assumptions regarding transport, material density and filling rate of bins were found not to significantly affect differences in GHG emissions between scenarios.
The metal fraction of solid household waste in this study was found to be 67%. The sensitivity test showed that the remaining fraction did not contain any metals did not change the ranking order of the scenarios, but reduced the differences substantially (
The second sensitivity analysis shows to what extent the collection of metals from MSWI bottom ash affects the results. The assumption for this sensitivity analysis is that there is no metal collection from MSWI bottom ash. Comparison of this analysis result to the base case result is shown in
The base case analysis was made with the assumption that the aluminum was not recovered after MSWI process. The significance of this assumption is that the analysis was run with an aluminum scrap grade of 42% and a yield of 80%. With these assumptions, the total recovery rate for aluminum was 34%. The tin-plated and stainless steel scrap was tested with a grade value of 92% and a yield of 80%. The sensitivity analysis result comparison to base case is shown in
Tin-plate can be utilized by EAF-route or by BOF-route. Main analysis calculations were done with the EAF-route. This sensitivity analysis compared EAF-route (base case) results to BOF-route results (
stt = emission factor of tin-plated steel BOF secondary production route with recycling rate c
ptt = emission factor of tin-plated steel BOF primary production route
k = emission factor, when GHG reduction potential of steel recycling rate of 1% = 13.7 CO2-eq kg/t
c= recycling rate of tin-plated steel
The results show (
The final sensitivity analysis takes into account the total losses in recycling with different separation efficiencies. Total losses mean all the metals that are lost in waste incineration and in the metal recovery processes. In theory, all the losses in recycling must be replaced with primary production, because the need for metals is considered to be increasing over time. In this analysis, the emissions of the losses were calculated multiplying the total losses and the different primary productions GWP values of all the metals. Separation efficiency in property collection is shown in the x-axis and the incineration's separation efficiency is assumed to be the same as the separation efficiency in property collection. For example, when the separation efficiency is 30% in property collection, it is assumed to be the same 30% in separation for incineration bottom ash. In this analysis, only steel and stainless steel were recovered.
The results in
The effect of separation efficiencies on total GHG emissions when losses in collection are taken into account.
The recycling of the metal fraction of solid household waste causes direct and indirect GHG emissions, mainly due to its energy use and combustion of fossil fuels. The impact of the type of energy plays an important role in terms of GHG emissions and strongly depends on the energy profile and energy use of the produced metal.
The total GHG emissions of the waste management system in the Helsinki metropolitan area in 2009 was 87 000 t CO2-eq [
The collection systems for recyclables in the various scenarios were defined with respect to the organizational and technical boundaries in the waste management system at hand, and only easily recyclable fractions were considered. It is recommended that municipalities enhance the recycling rate by establishing new collection schemes for the metal fraction of solid household waste. Within the scenarios studied, Scenario 5 provides the highest recycling rate and the highest environmental benefits. Scenarios 2, 3 and 4 were also environmentally beneficial compared to Scenarios 0 and 1. The main distinctions between Scenario 5 and the other scenarios are that waste is collected from the property and not regionally from collection points. In Scenario 0, collection is also done at the property, but without source-separation and all the mixed solid household waste is incinerated. Hence, a combination of collection directly from the properties and source-separation shows the greatest benefit, measured in GHG reduction potential emission.
Incineration of all waste is not recommended because the recycling rate would decrease due to quality decrease of metals in the MSWI process. This quality decrease leads to the loss of credited GHG emissions from recovered metals and thus to lower environmental benefits for the scheme. The magnitude of changes in environmental impact, resource consumption and costs may be relatively small, but these changes should be compared to the effect of other initiatives within the waste management system before judging their importance. In this study, it is assumed that all aluminum is not recovered after incineration, although a non-negligible amount of metallic aluminum may in practice be recovered from MSWI bottom ash. The purpose of the study presented in this paper is however to investigate the differential impact of various scenarios on the reduction of GHG emission through a collection scheme strategy. Sensitivity analysis shows that recovery of aluminum from MSWI bottom ash does change GHG emission for each scheme, but does not change the relative ranking of scenarios.
If the decision makers conclude that the alternative collection systems are all acceptable with regard to environmental impact and costs, they would have the opportunity of putting weight on other aspects such as improvement of sorting efficiency and level of service. It is important to note that the results of this work are sensitive to our assumptions regarding the potential utilization of the recycled metals. The calculations were done for pure metal fractions, and the recycling processes were assumed to substitute for virgin production of similar materials. The actual options for recycling and utilization depend strongly on the amount of metal scrap collected and its quality, and it is recommended that these issues be thoroughly assessed in each case. Further economic assessment is also needed in order to determine the economic ranking of these different scenarios.

Seoul, South Korea: As a ferry with 476 passengers was badly listing off the south-western coast of South Korea two weeks ago, one of the students on board asked, "Are we becoming a Titanic?"
"This is fun!" another shouted, apparently not realising that the ferry would soon capsize and sink.
In the background of videos recovered from the mobile phones of passengers aboard the ferry Sewol, a voice can be heard over the ship's intercom urging students and their teachers to stay put, telling them they are safer where they are. But as the ship continued to tip and the voice over the intercom repeated the same instructions, panic spread. Some passengers apparently sensed the approaching doom, and sent farewells to their families.
"This looks like the end!" a boy shouted into at a mobile phone held by one of his classmates, Park Su-hyeon.
Before he could finish, another boy cut in: "Mum, Dad, I love you."
The young passengers were among 325 second-year high school students on board the 6825-ton ferry, which sank on April 16. After Su-hyeon, 17, was found dead, the police returned the boy's recovered personal items to his family, who discovered the video footage on his phone. This week, his father, Park Jong-dae, released the video to the local news media, saying that South Koreans must watch it to learn what went wrong.
As of Wednesday, 210 people were confirmed dead, with 92 still missing. Of the dead or missing, 250 were students on a school trip to a resort island.
Among the text messages, photos and video clips that have been produced by passengers of the ill-fated ship, Su-hyeon's 15-minute footage bears the most dramatic witness to the panic and fear, as well as youthful naivete and optimism, of the students trapped inside the ship.
"This is by far the most heartbreaking scene I have seen in my 27-year broadcasting career," said Choi Seung-ho, a veteran television producer, when he introduced the footage on Newstapa, a website run by the Korea Centre for Investigative Journalism. JTBC, a cable channel, also broadcast a shorter version of the video.
The footage was edited to blur the faces of the students, and the students whose voices were captured were not identified. But the videos show how students who followed the crew's instructions were trapped while many of the crew members, including the captain, were among the first to desert their vessel.
Su-hyeon's video begins at 8.52am April 16. That was three minutes before the ferry sent its first distress signal to maritime traffic controllers on shore.
"The ship is leaning!" one passenger can be heard saying.
"Help me!" another said, sounding almost as if it were part of a youthful prank.
As students felt the ship shuddering and wondered whether it was sinking, a crew member came onto the intercom, urging students to stay put.
"Nonsense!" one student shouted. Another said: "I want to get off. I mean it."
The video showed no sign of students trying to escape. The vessel had tilted so much that some students were grabbing the railings on the wall to pull themselves up and move about the crowded cabin.
At 8.53, a voice on the intercom again advised the passengers not to move.
"What? Hurry! Save us!" a student shrieked.
One student said, "This is fun." Another wondered, "Are we going to die?" A minute later, as the ship listed further, some students suggested donning life jackets. An announcement over the intercom again instructed passengers to stay where they were.
At 8.55, while the ship's crew sent its first distress signal, one student in the cabin below shouted, "We don't want to die!"
Over the intercom, the students were again urged not to move and to hold onto what they could. The ship's captain and crew members later told reporters and investigators that they had thought it was safer for the passengers to stay in their cabins than to move in a panicked mass, causing the ship to list faster, or for them to jump into cold waters when the first rescue ships were still far away.
Some of the male students appeared to hide their growing fear with jokes and uneasy laughs. One student said, "We are going to make news with this." Another said, "This is going to be a lot of fun if we get it onto our Facebook."
At 8.57, as another announcement from the crew advised "please never move," one student said: "Should I call Mum? Mum, this looks like the end of me."
After a 2½-minute break, the video resumed at 9.00, when at least one student could be heard saying he was getting out. Students began passing one another life jackets, and one wanted to have a picture taken as a "souvenir". Some students complained that the zippers of their life jackets did not work, and one student gave his life jacket to a classmate who could not find one.
"What about you?" the classmate asked.
"Don't worry," his friend responded. "I will get one for myself."
Amid the growing panic, one boy shouted that he did not want to die. "I still have lots of animation movies I haven't watched yet," he said. Another boy made a V sign with his fingers in front of the phone's camera.
At 9.03, one student wondered, "What is the captain doing?"
It is over, another student said, finding no more mobile phone signal and unable to send his last words to his family. A few shouted into Su-hyeon's camera. One said he loved his parents. Another advised his little sister never to take a school trip like the one he was on.
Three minutes later, students yelled "Silence! Silence!" as the ship's intercom crackled again, repeating the same message: stay put and wear life jackets if possible.
"Yes, sir!" a few students responded in a hopeful tone. But another questioned the instruction: "What's going on? If they are telling us to wear life jackets, doesn't that mean that the ship is sinking?"
At 9.07, the voice over the intercom repeated the instruction.
At 9.08, a minute before the video ends, one student was heard saying, "I am scared," and others wondered whether their teacher was safe.
More than 20 minutes later, the first Coast Guard helicopters and ships arrived at the scene. Video from another student's phone shows female students cheering when they hear helicopters overhead. That four-minute video was taken beginning at 9.37 by Park Ye-seul, who died on the ferry, and was released to JTBC by her father.
One of Ye-seul's classmates could be heard pleading: "Save us, save us." But one of the first things the Coast Guard rescuers did was help the ship's captain, Lee Jun-seok, and other crew members off the sinking ferry.
Video footage released by the Coast Guard showed no officers trying to move below deck where the students were trapped. Investigators are reviewing the mobile phone videos as part of their investigation into the accident.
Mr Lee, the captain, was in his room, and the least experienced of his four mates was in charge of its navigation when the vessel suddenly listed in waters notorious for rapid and unpredictable currents. Mr Lee and 14 other crew members have been arrested on charges of abandoning their passengers in an emergency.
When he was deserting the ship, the 69-year-old captain was still in his underpants.

|Wicked Weed Milk & Cookies Stout
grat (6) ST. Louis, Missouri | April 3, 2006
Being a Mellow Mushroom the decor is awful. Broken bits of hot neon colored pottery cover the walls. Obviously not known for their decor. Food is excellent best pizza in town in my book. Beer selection is really good for Winston-Salem...I mean excellent. Victory golden Monkey, hop devil, v lager Fullers london porter, Flying Dog Gonzo on tap, brooklyn black chocolate, And Brookklyn lager, local fav's like Foothills seeing double IPA (in a pint glass unlike foothills itselff serves in a little pilzen glass) HOWEVER - BE WARNED. They do an AWFUL job of upkeep with their beers. Frequently spoiled (Spoiled hop devil wasn't all that bad actually) or flat they do a terrible job of rotating kegs...some of this I know is because we are in BMC wasteland out here and buying an expensive keg of beer and no one drinking it because they'd rather drink BudLight is...understandable, so it isn't all their fault (unless you're a republican pragmatist) But they try somewhat. Service is usually slow. Food ROX and when the beer is good this is the best beer and pizza place within a hundred miles.
Travlr (2848) Charlotte , North Carolina | December 7, 2016
This place reminds me of a post-modern diner, everything shiny and new, big windows. Large taplist included some interesting stuff. Worth a look.
Boudicca (1231) London, England | April 11, 2015
A cafeteria style place, and a bit of a goldfish bowl, that lacks the usual cosiness and warmth of Mellow Mushrooms. Apart from that, it's as you'd expect with pizzas and a long beer list. (Visited 11 February 2014).
rumproasts (208) Grand Rapids, Michigan | February 4, 2015
modern-ish location in downtown w-s. food was excellent. solid taplist of many regional beers, including a bunch of wicked weed. sample flights available.
italarican (115) Indiana, Pennsylvania | July 5, 2014
The bar has an excellent tap selection, arguably the best in Winston-Salem. Great variety of styles, and though they focus on regionals they will have a variety geographically. I've never been a fan of Mellow Mushroom pizza: often greasy and insanely overpriced. You could go just for a beer, but I feel odd going into a pizzeria and staying at the bar.
GT (672) San Diego, California | November 12, 2012
Next door to Foothills, which we went to after Sexual Chocolate because it was such a nightmare to get food served to us that day. This place has a much more diverse tap list than Foothills and carries 4-5 Foothills beers on tap. So you get the best of both worlds. Pizzas were decent, filling, odd topping. Ambiance is trippy, uncomfortable. Service was below average. Probably has the best tap list in Winston-Salem.
Onenote81 (74) Winston-Salem, North Carolina | April 20, 2012
I've been here a few times, but never gave it a review. Alot of the times the service is hit or miss, but today's stop was stellar. I sat at the "bar" and the guy working there was quick and helpful. Got the steak and cheese calzone. Excellent. I've always been pleased with the food whenever I've stopped at one of these places. This specific 'Shroom has 32 beers on tap. Nice! I saw some from Rogue, Avery, DFH, Starr Hill, SN, Bell's, Foothills, Natty Greene's, etc. It looked as if the brews came out in frosted glasses. Seriously?! With a stellar lineup like they had, I'm surprised they stooped so low. Ah well. Still a great place to stop for a great beer. Recommend.
doboy (24) Morehead City, North Carolina | March 15, 2012
Beer was good, food was good, sdervice was a little slow.
ttutony (15) Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania | February 20, 2011
Fairly good selection of beers here. Unfortunately did not get to try the food.
poleywog (3) Winston Salem, North Carolina | May 7, 2010
Good pizza, very dependible the same each visit. Lots of different beers availible, I try to stick with a micro brew on tap.
biznizness (25) Charlotte, North Carolina | December 22, 2009
Used to be a lunch spot during school... awesome pizza and a nice selection of beers. Service was always good and friendly here, and the bar is a pretty nice place to hang out. Not the best Mellow I've been to but definitely not the worst.

Apr 5, 2013 - By Craig Blumenshine, Staff WriterCASPER - Close counts in horseshoes. But not in soccer.
With a regenerated offensive attack, the Riverton Wolverines generated solid shots on goal but hit the post four times, three times in the second half, to fall short against the Casper Natrona Mustangs 3-2 Thursday evening in Casper at Cheney Alumni Field.
Tristan White had both goals for Riverton, the first in the second minute. After starting a run from the outside, White took a through ball from Kade Salisbury and gave the Wolverines an early lead.
But the Mustangs scored the next three goals in the match, answering first in the eighth minute and scoring twice in the second half. Casper Natrona scored again in the 55th minute and made the game-winning shot in the 64th minute on a rebound after RHS keeper Mike Jones made a nice save but could not hold on to the ball.
"We have plenty of time," RHS coach Erly Cornejo said after NC's third goal, and the Wolverines (1-2-2) amped up their offensive attack.
White scored his second goal in the 74th minute on a penalty kick after a Natrona player touched the ball with his hand in the penalty area to draw Riverton within one.
White nearly had the hat trick and equalizer moments later when Scot Sowards, just after hitting the post himself from a solid shot on frame, sent a nice ball forward, but White was flagged for being offsides on his run.
"I thought Tristan was on, I had the perfect view," Cornejo said of the close offsides call. "We played well. It's been an unlucky run for us more than anything. They did the things we asked them to do. We had high intensity throughout the game, pressured the ball up high and creating chances from different angles. We took a huge leap forward, we just didn't get the results."
Riverton has the rest of their spring break week off and will return to the pitch Friday, April 12, and Saturday, April 13, with road games in Green River and Rock Springs.

Toni Adams is responsible for VMware's global partner marketing for the channel, alliances, system integrators, service providers and independent software vendors. "My role is to help them accelerate their accounts. So from a priorities perspective, we look at the entire engagement life cycle," said Adams, who held a similar role at Symantec Corp. before taking his current position. "We're at the front end of the funnel, looking to generate demand. We're making sure they have the right materials at the right time in order to accelerate the life cycle." The company recently added several new marketing programs that build on its existing VMware Partner Central, a portal that houses assets for partner digital marketing efforts in addition to training, product information and sales tools. The latest offering, PartnerLink, allows the company's 55,000 partners to create their own digital communities. "Like most vendors, we're providing 99% of the information to partners, but we're hearing very little back," he said. "We want to know what they are implementing, what support issues they are having. PartnerLink gives us a way to encourage two-way discussions." There are already 3,800 active PartnerLink users who can access about 20 VMware-managed public groups and 168 private ones. The communities can be created and categorized by location, product, customer segment—anything that might help partners sell better, Adams said. VMware employees monitor and join the conversations taking place in the communities. Partner Powerplays, a marketing program currently in the pilot stage, gives resellers access to enablement and demand-generation materials that focus on solutions that incorporate partner marketing.

Santa Fe Reporter editor lands Knight Fellowship
Santa Fe Reporter editor Alexa Schirtzinger* was picked to receive a prestigious John S. Knight Journalism Fellowship at Stanford University for the 2013-14 academic year.
According to the Knight Fellowships's website the fellowships, "champions innovation, entrepreneurship and leadership in journalism by helping the fellows pursue their ideas to improve the quality of news and information reaching the public."
Schirtzinger will research how "To use the innovative strengths and contemporary challenges of the modern alternative weekly newspaper as a platform for exploring new revenue models in local journalism."
She will leave the paper for her fellowship. Still, her heart is with alt-weeklies.
When NM Telegram called Schirtzinger Tuesday afternoon to speak to Schirtzinger, she joked, "My proposal is to save alt-weeklies."
She believes that alt-weeklies have an advantage over newspapers in that they were always free and knew there was a way for the free model to work. Still, alt-weeklies have been facing troubles in selling ads and monetizing the online model that is increasingly necessary.
Schirtzinger says that among the advantages of alt-weeklies is that, "They're community tastemakers."
Through her proposal, she wants to see how to turn alt-weeklies into more than just newspapers and turn them into community entities — things that will be around for a long time and are able to pay journalists a fair pay.
"There's always this sense that we're always going to be poor," Schirtzinger said about journalists. She has experienced firsthand not being able to give an employee a raise because there just isn't enough money.
"It is a community service," Schirtzinger said about journalism, "but you shouldn't have to be a non-profit."

First post, short time lurker. I've joined to take advantage of you X5 owners collective knowledge for the purpose of perhaps purchasing a used X5 to replace our very noisy 08 Honda Accord EX-L. The Honda is nice to drive at a reasonable pace but has so much road noise transmitted to the cabin that long trips are annoying, that and the seats are not that comfortable. I've done a number of searches and googled for answers regarding the various options and have had some luck in figuring out what some of the terms used in ads for used units. We will be in NW Washington for the Thanksgiving week and will look at some of the vehicles I have earmarked, probably will have many more questions after that activity. We did test drive an 07 near our home in NW Montana and for the little I was able to sample it, it did seem much quieter on the road (I beleive it had the 18" wheels). One of the disadvantages we may face is the nearest dealer is some 250 miles away.
I am somewhat surprised at the number of negative posts regarding reliability, I would have thought an expensive auto would have less discussion on this subject. I do realize that a specific forum will raise a lot of these posts, but would have thought there would be an near equal amount of rebuttals to those posts rather than the (it's a performance vehicle so that is the norm).
Just as an aside, my screen name just denotes my interest in Off-road motorcycle riding and racing so no need to throw rotten tomatoes or to steer clear of me

A worker at a Bumble Bee Foods factory in Santa Fe Springs, Calif., died in industrial oven accident this week, NBC News reported.
Safety officials said Jose Melena, 62, was accidentally cooked in a "steamer machine" at the seafood canning company's plant, NBC News reported. Police pronounced him dead at the scene at 7 a.m. Thursday.
California Division of Occupational Safety and Health spokeswoman Erika Monterroza said it was unclear how Melena ended up inside the oven, the Contra Costa Times reported. Cal-OSHA has launched an investigation into the accident which it plans to complete in six months, she added.
If it turns out that the factory did violate state health and safety regulations, Bumble Bee Foods will face civil penalties, Monterroza said, according to the Contra Costa Times. In addition, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office could decide to indict the company on criminal charges.

*le sigh* The Terrible Ones are upon us. Corey (my Quaker) appears to be hitting puberty. The little lovebug has decided that all things near his cage are in fact HIS and no evil hands shall be permitted near that which is HIS. Also, I'm not allowed to raise my hand above elbow level because apparently my hands become a threat to my head with which HE is in love. So... *sigh*
Corey will be living on the floor (well insulated, no worries) to keep him below even my seated eye level. He will also be finding his movements outside the cage restricted for a while. No need to spread the territory any further. But I still have to feed him and socialize/train him every day, and hands are evil. Oh well, what's a few more scars after years living on a farm.
Fortunately I know that this is a phase and that with proper care he should come out of the worst of it. Keep me (and my hands!) in your thoughts for the next few months!

Hi, Steve! How are you? What are you doing right now?
Trying to get free of a disastrous house sale, buy a camper-van and hit the road as a musical gypsy.
What was your first introduction to music?
Were there any musicians in your family?
I was drawn into music from watching films like Sparticus at my local flea pit.
I was mesmerized by those colorful blockbusters and the music stirred up my emotions.
At the age of eleven I donned my best suit and stood outside the projection rooms trying to pluck up the courage to ask for a job in the films. I was convinced that this room was where it was all created and it made sense to me to knock on the door. It never occurred to me that a mile down the road was Beaconsfield Film Studios.
Unfortunately I didn't find the courage and walked home a dejected little boy.
I was contemplating on this recently and asked myself what did I really want from films, I've never really seen myself as an actor or anything else in that world. I came to the conclusion that what I really wanted was to be drawn into a make-believe world. In short I wanted to be a figment of my imagination.
I still do.
I began buying records of film music, which led to me discovering classical music, a journey I still pursue.
The fascination with films has carried on till this day. I can watch pretty much anything and throw myself into the adventure. I am eagerly awaiting the total immersion experience, wearing goggles and diving into a new world.
My Parents loved music but neither of them liked classical music, they were both into the songs of the day. So I was left to find my own way.
You are a multi-instrumentalist. What was your first instrument?
I first bought a sax from the 'exchange and mart' paper. The sax arrived by post. I had no idea how it worked or whether it played chords. I made so much noise on it, the neighbors called the police, who arrived at the door with a noise abatement order.
Most progressive musicians who appeared at the end of the 60s or the beginning of the 70s were influenced by the Beatles or early Pink Floyd. What were your influences?
None really, I just joined a band to support my Painting.
I was always surprised with what people got away with, it seemed to me the worse you were the more people liked it. Now they call it culture and even knight people. I find it completely mad.

Published: July 26, 2007 at 6:48 PMDoesn't bother me one bit. Now I can depart the station knowing my personal belongings are safe in a locker that I only have the key for. Is it really that much? We're talking $2 for 3 hours. That is less than $1 per hour. Do you know how much you can do at SFA in three hours. You could easily cover all of the coasters in the park in 4 hours, so I don't think it would be to hard to ride as least half of them in three hours.
Published: July 26, 2007 at 8:38 PMSFA also has all-day lockers in the Hurricane Harbor section for $9. If you plan on being there all day, I recommend getting one of these. While I was there, this past weekend, I ran into a lady that had spent $6 on three rides on the "temporary" lockers. She stated she didn't know about the lockers in the waterpark. Also, the waterpark closes an hour before the regular park but the locker area stays open till the park closes so that people can retrieve their items.
Published: July 27, 2007 at 7:17 AMThe first time I was exposed to being required to put items in a locker was at IOA on the Hulk. At the time it was a mild inconvenience because it was hard to stuff my overload backpack in there. However, I appreciated that it was free. For a park to charge you for a ride locker is a little ridiculous. Yeah it's only two dollars, but I already spent $60-$100 (depending on the park) to get into the park with my wife. I like how my home park (Worlds of Fun) and its sister park Knott's approach this. They have cubbyholes at the loading area and I have never had anything lost or stolen.
Published: July 27, 2007 at 1:31 PMSea World San Antonio does this for the Steel Eel, and Great White - lockers are only 50 cents, though. It still feels like a toll to ride a ride you already paid for.
Published: July 27, 2007 at 1:48 PMI think it's rediculous. Just another way to skim money out of our pockets when we've already spent almost $100 just getting into the park, not to mention food. I carry my fanny pack on my person at all times regardless of rides, no one has said anything to me yet, it moves to the side or haunched over the bar if necessary. If a family has a lot of stuff then I think it'd be worth it but like someone else said, look for all day lockers, kinda like all day parking in Nashville, pay $8 for all day & you don't hafta worry but forcing patrons to do that is wrong, it should be an option. On boomerang at SFFTx, they just said put your stuff over to the exit side, there was a gate w/the attendant who also pushed the start button to keep others out of the area. However, this last time for Poltergeist, the attendants were allowing ppl from the exit hop on although there were others in line waiting so I don't think that was fair plus it made me feel uncomfortable for those who left stuff in the bin, the people who were standing in the exit area cudda just walked or reached over & grabbed stuff. It was totally unorganized with the new flash pass.
Published: July 27, 2007 at 2:15 PMridiculous. But I almost never buy souvenirs anyway, except when I'm in Orlando, but Universal has their locker deal.
Published: July 27, 2007 at 2:47 PMThey should do what they are doing at Six Flags New England on Mind Eraser and Batman:DK. They have lockers, one side painted one color for one train, the other painted a different color. They slide a door between the two different sides, and that protects people's valuables.
Published: July 27, 2007 at 3:48 PMThe forced locker situation is OUTRAGEOUS! I think the sliding door over the cubby holes, monitored by an attendant is a brilliant idea (which they have on another coaster and should be done at every major ride - especially during peak season.) At the beginning of the summer I went to Skull Island at SFOG and paid, I believe it was $8 to an attendant (would have been $11 for a large locker) because the electronic system was not working. I just did not want to risk someone walking off with my $500 camera while I was on the water slides. At Carowinds recently I used the lockers by the Borg Simulator. They are a VERY reasonable 75 cents. HOWEVER...it was a long walk to a store to get change. They NEED a change machine or even a host there to make it easy to stow articles since the way the ride loads they would have to move all personal items over the track. (They already have to carry a bin over filled with all the flip flops!!!)
Published: July 27, 2007 at 8:07 PMCargo shorts. You can get just about anything into the pockets - cell phones, small-to-medium-sized cameras, even a floppy hat can go in and be safely tucked away. How can a SFoAnything be losing money? how much is parking? admission? the "special attractions"? the food? Oh, and now you have to use the high-priced lockers, too???
Please. Enough already. I'm not going back to 6F.
Published: July 28, 2007 at 5:42 AMThey can take those rides and shove them as far as I'm concerned; I'm serious. Sorry to say this to you theme-parks, but NO ride is worth being subject to surcharged lockers. (Free keyed lockers just before the loading platform I'd be perfectly cool with.) On my last several theme-park visits I've purposely had nothing loose with me at all except for a hat. However I'm not about to store this in a locker for half the day. It's not only for show but for sunburn prevention, and thus "essential equipment at all times". This includes while waiting in line; not all queues are shaded.
At Knotts several rides also have that setup with the compartments and sliding cover. It's good to hear other parks do this too. I think every ride where loose articles are a risk should have this. I put off riding Silver Bullet for hours because I was afraid things would get stolen and I knew of course you can't carry things between your feet on that type of ride. Eventually I took the chance and fortunately it turned out to have those compartments.
Published: July 28, 2007 at 6:40 AMYet another example of why i will not attend a Six Flags park. Poor guest service, poor house keeping, rides that appear unsafe and un managed, and just down right rude employees. Now they want to charge you extra for all of this...
Published: August 1, 2007 at 10:32 AMI recently saw the slide cover on the cubby hole feature & thought it brilliant. (Wish that they had that on the Demon at Great America when that idiot chose to steal my six flags umbrella).

Dear Reader,
I am a fifteen-year-old highschool sophomore who wastes her time on silly things like homework, homework, homework, sleep, and fanfiction. I'm also writing things outside of the realm of Harry Potter, but that involves doing my own character development, so I'm no good at it.
I have a lot of stories posted on here, so I would be much obliged if you checked them out and what I like to call "read" them. It's a crazy idea, but it just might work.
My favorite characters are Harry, Hermione, the entire Weasley family (except for Percy, I don't like him much), Snape, Buckbeak, and Sirius (RIP).
Now for some other random facts about me.
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Eye Color: Green like Harry! Man, I'm obsessed.
Hair Color: Brown, like the actor who plays Harry!
Favorite Color: Pink, like nothing involving Harry.
Yeah, so now that you know a bunch about me, you should definitely read my fanfics. Some of them are pretty awesome, if I do say so myself.
I am the cousin of Isabella Rose, who still has nothing posted here. She is, however, working on her first fanfiction, which is being beta-ed by me. I am also the dear friend of Leah Preston, who does not intend to post anything, and The Second Snape, who has already posted something, the sly dog. Yes, for those of you who have read her fic and follow it banging your heads into your computers because she never updates, I'm working on it too. And yes, she has updated.
By the way, my website has absolutely nothing to do with my fanfiction, so until I get really bored with this site and switch over to a new one, it'll stay there and have nothing to do with Harry Potter.
And now, dear reader, I am off to write for you. Do not despair, for I will not abandon any fics. Ever. I hate it when people do that!
Sincerely yours,
Ella Norman
Here is the awesome banner for my story:
by Jenova
Ah, I'm dying! I read it this morning before school, and consequently thought about it ALL DAY. This is your fault ... Keep going! Sirius and Marin are much more interesting than Biology ... :) Funny how your writing has such power over me.
*breaks down sobbing* I know I've been needling you about this for a while, but -- I NEED MORE STORY!!! Agh, I can't stand this. More! Listen to the radio for a week straight or something! Get inspired! Agh, I can't take much more of this. They're all so wonderful! Just write -- I don't care what, just do it! Ahem. Now that I've said my bit, I'll leave it to you.
Author's Response: Ella . . . you know I love ya, right? I mean, you're my most faithful reader/reviewer for this story . . . I treasure you, I do - and I don't want to let you down . . . BUT, yes there's always a but, I have no ability to write at this time . . . Sob story time: My dad was in the hospital because of a stroke, I'm incredibly stressed with my classes (no motivation for school or for writing - 7 tests, two papers, and a presentation to go!), I've got issues with friends that won't go away, I'm trying to get a job lined up for this summer, trying to get organized because I'm studying in England next fall, planning and organizing my mission trip to Africa in three weeks (for three weeks), was working on top of everything (teaching, gah!) until two weeks ago when I quit because I have NO time for much of anything! So trust me when I say that I won't leave this story unfinished. . . just that I can't possibly write at ALL until school is out and I am back from Africa . . . I am terribly sorry, but that's how its gonna be for me for a while. . . So much love and thanks for being so patient!
Oh yay! ... and ... oh no! ::sobs relentlessly onto some invisible shoulder:: Marin, poor Marin! Ah! Sirius is so sweet ... that is the way that all boys should be, I swear! Please, please, please write more! I'll die if you don't! 10!
Author's Response: Sirius is the ideal guy, so far. Don't worry, he'll become more male-like soon enough. I can't write every woman's dream man for long - they don't exist in the Potter or the real world. I have one more chapter to add before I have to start writing again . . . it'll come in time!
This looks like it'll be awesome ... I love James/Lily, and more than that, I love the Marauders. You've captured their witty and sinister sarcasm --- I love it! Write on, friend, and take this shiny 10 with you!
Every single time I look to see if you've updated, I see that last chapter and that song Broken by Amy Lee starts playing in my head. I love that song ... it fits perfectly too.
Author's Response: Thanks! Sometimes if the lyrics aren't quite right, the music is . . . but in that chapter's case, the music and words are fitting. . . I'm all about the soundtrack to life :-)
Oh, gosh, you're amazing! This is an awesome fic. I totally know how Marin feels. It's not like she reacted some weird way that wouldn't happen in real life ever. She really was hurt because of that -- from the way that she's been acting around him, it sounds like he really wounded her. We've all been in her position, haven't we? We're either a Marin or a Delaney. Lol. Your character development is superb. Thanks for continuing the story!
Author's Response: I think Marin and Delaney are kind of polar opposites . . . I think that more of us sit somewhere in between . . . I was hoping I could get the characters across in a way that was honest and real - and obvious. . . I'm glad that you picked up on it all!
Oh, I luff that song! So immediately, you score brownie points with me, just for using it. Anway, it's really cute, and I want more!
Author's Response: Thanks! Try reading my Love will find away story!
This was absolutely splendiferous! I don't remember precisely where I got that word, but it seems to apply here. I love the endless ranting, but it's got a plot too, no matter how thin ... Keep writing!
Author's Response: haha, thanks! Splendiferous...intriguing...
This is funny in a very different sort of way ... I love it! It's like mock-serious, and therefore it's funny ... I'm confused. Don't worry, I'm still reading the next chapters.
Author's Response: This whole story confuses me...and I'm writing it...haha, look for an update soon!
Oh, the OOCness! I absolutely love it! Brilliance, I tell you!
Yes! It is another stroke of genius, I'm sure of it! Yay! This is a masterstroke, my friend ... and it's been on my favorites list forever and will remain there, I assure you.
Author's Response: Very cool
Yay for updates! I definitely love this story -- it's one of my favorites. You deserve a million tens, but I do have a life, you know. Ooo, Parvati is using Harry now is she? Awesome. This should have an interesting ending.
Author's Response: Oh trust me, this will have an interesting ending...it's so interesting that I don't even know what it is yet!
Wow, once again, I'm at like the fourth review! Good chapter, once again! Florescent pink feathers and a long bushy tail? Hee hee, how do you come up with this stuff? Whatever it is, it's really good, and I'm glad you're doing one more chapter. Much better than the very disappointing four chapters of the prequel.
Author's Response: The 'prequel' as you called it was my first fanfiction...so I had absolutely no idea what I was doing and just...rambled. Dunno if I'd call them 'disappointing' though...though I will admit it ended pretty abruptly.
Good run. I'm glad you are an author who can end her stories when they need to end. It makes me sad when people throw their plot out the window just to get more reviews. I love the story and am sad to see it end, but I will always look on it fondly. 10! 10! 10!
Author's Response: THANK YOU for understanding that every fic has to end sometime! Thanks for all the reviews!
I. Absolutely. Love. This. Story. It's one of those idiotic funny hilarious stories that I usually hate, but this time you've catered to my sense of humor. It's hilarious. Well done, mate. Urgh, who the heck is Harry spending his day with? Please let it be Ginny!
Author's Response: Ah, you're one of those Harry/Ginny people (I think I might end up becoming one...but I'm not quite there yet...) Update coming whenever I actually get time to write!
Cool, he HAS gone insane! Uh-oh. This story has a lot more plot and a lot less random humor. I like it like this. I think that is mostly because I have a cough and whenever I start giggling, I start coughing, but that's beside the point. This is a really great story, and I can't wait to read more!
Author's Response: Ironic...I just got a review for my other story claiming that it didn't have much of a plot, but I thought that one was more plot-ful and this one more random/rambling. Oh who cares. Thanks for the review!
Brilliance, I say! Brilliance ... "I have a headache ... Yes, I am blaming this on Parvati ..." So incredibly preposterous! I love it!
How do you DO that? I don't usually laugh at these ... smiles perhaps ... but not the raucous peals of laughter that this sent me into!!! Absolutely love it, my dear. I think it must be the combination of fluffiness and randomness, and perhaps sugar ... I'll think about that, but there is a nice, shiny ten in store for you!
Author's Response: Wow. A shiny ten, as opposed to a dull ten...or a fuzzy ten...or even a rough ten...thanks! I am completely insane, if you haven't noticed...
Ah! Not so good! Bad Parvati! I agree --- really inoppurtune moment for McGonagall to act out of character! Okay, time to give you the big shiny 10 that you deserve! 10! See? Yay for 10s!
Author's Response: Yay 10! And not only a 10, but a BIG...SHINY 10!

Is Mark Dever an Apostle?
I received another great e-mail question today:I became interested in your blog when I found it through Mark Dever's 9 Marks website. I attended his church for a semester in college, and am friends with two of his former interns (James Santos and Paul Alexander).

Apostles are meant for today- Challies wheels out the big guns in the charismatic debate
Challies has brought in the big guns and is interviewing Dr Sam Waldron and Dr Wayne Grudem on the subject of cessationism/charismaticism. Today, Sam Waldron has an interesting argument which is essentially a cascade argument:The people we read in my doctoral program (and at the same time these people that would assume that cessationism was nonsensical and not even discussable) would in almost the same breath admit or assume that Apostles no longer exist in the church today ("big A" Apostles). … [Read more...]

The same applies when we use phrases like 'God told me.' Calling my own spontaneous (and subjective by the way) impressions … [Read more...]

Terry Virgo of newfrontiers writesWe certainly need what those early Christians seemed to have. Maybe we should try and do church the way they did it! Or is that asking too much? Maybe if we took God seriously, believed Him and obeyed Him and made space for the Holy Spirit, we might see something happen. G.K. Chesterton is reported as saying, "The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult, and left untried.

Are the 'New Church' streams stagnating?
In common with the not so 'New' Labour, I guess many people must be ruing the use of the word 'new' in connection with church.

Building an alternative reality means building community
In an era when settlements are a given, when criticizing the occupation is tantamount to treason, and when there is no viable alternative to the Right, building a community is one way to create a new reality.

One advantage of Apple equipping the latest MacBook Pro models solely with USB-C is that each port can multi-task. Power, video, and data can all pass through an adapter connected to a single port. For photographers and videographers, this is a bittersweet change: losing the built-in SD card reader on older Mac laptops is awfully inconvenient, but now a single device can handle several tasks.

Way back in 1918, Max Fleischer gave us Out of the Inkwell, a series of shorts featuring Koko the Clown. Koko was an animated character interacting with live action people on screen. Audiences flocked to this rotoscoped novelty. In 1923, Walt Disney turned the idea around when he put Alice, a live action girl, into a cartoon world. Since then, there have been numerous attempts to combine animated characters into live-action films.

The classic sunset shot that closes out the day or the entire narrative of your film is a cinematic staple. Whether you want your characters sitting on the beach, standing on top of a building, or riding off into the sunset, capturing the shot is the first step in the process. Because sunsets are so wildly different from one another, they all need different color grading. Here are a few different ways to color grade your sunset in Premiere Pro and After Effects.
