1 Hazardous Waste Management, nd ed. Instructors Manual CHAPTER 16 REMEDIAL TECHNOLOGIES Supplemental Questions: The opening quote describes the fifth labor of Hercules. How many labors were there and what are they? King Eurystheus, set Hercules 1 mighty labors: 1. Killing the Nemean lion 7. Capturing the Cretan bull. Killing the mufti-headed Hydra 8. Capturing the mares of Diomedes. Capturing the Arcadian deer 9. Procuring the girdle of Hippolyte 4. Capturing the Erymanthian boar 10. Capturing the cattle of Geryon 5. Cleansing the Augean stables 11. Procuring the golden apples of the Hesperides 6. Driving off the Stymphalian birds 1. Capturing the Cerberus What was so laborous about cleansing the Augean stables? The story of the cleansing of the Augean stables is the earliest recorded instance of site remediation. Augeas, King of Elis, kept 000 oxen in the stables and they had not been cleaned for thirty years. Hercules had to clean the stables out in a single day. He did this by re-routing two rivers through the stables. There is no record of an environmental impact statement ever being filed for this project. When Augeas failed to pay him, Hercules killed the king. Many consultants today use somewhat less extreme measures when dealing with recalcitrant clients The remedial investigation site characterization at an old industrial facility on Long Island revealed a sandy site with shallow ground water contaminated with low levels of volatile organics. The contaminant plume was found to migrate a short distance beyond the property line but had not yet reached residences relying upon ground water for their drinking water supply. What might be the objective for cleanup of this site? The objective might be to immediately contain the contamination from further movement to then allow for treatment or removal to ultimately protect ground water in the area for drinking. Continued migration of contaminants from this site would obviously threaten the nearby water supplies. Thus the immediate objective of this site remediation is the protection of these water supplies by stopping or reversing the migration of the contaminants. Over the longer term, the threat to public health due to contaminated ground water can best be minimized by the removal of the contaminants from the ground water. For this particular site, in order to accomplish the above stated objectives, a remedial system was selected which included a series of groundwater pumping wells and a water treatment system. What goals would be established for the components of this system? Pumping wells: The ground water withdrawal system must alter the groundwater gradients to capture the zone of contaminated ground water. Treatment system: The extracted ground water must be cleaned to some acceptable level; in this case, the drinking water j standards. Duration: The cleanup system must be operated until the remaining contaminants in the ground water are below some acceptable concentration; in this case, the drinking water standards. 001 Environmental Resources Managment Page 1 of 1

Cost effectiveness 1. Design uncertainties. Little attention is necessary after implementation. Questionable long-term liability (passive containment). Can be used in conjunction with other treatment. Does not actually clean up the site, contaminants methods remain 16-. Suppose that a section of the circumferential barrier wall described in Example 16-1 Is constructed without adequately keying into an underlying layer of low hydraulic conductivity. A section of the original material 100ft long and ft deep remains with the original aquifer hydraulic conductivity of 1 x 10 - cm/s (a shallow buried valley). What would the leakage through the wall be from this zone? Would this jeopardize the success of the associated pump and treat system?

First, a thorough site characterization needs to be done. This will be followed closely by an assessment of risk. Then an analysis of remedial alternatives will be done. Economic environmental factors will play key roles in this decision. 001 Environmental Resources Managment Page 4 of 1
5 Hazardous Waste Management, nd ed. Instructors Manual Describe the hydrologic pathways for contaminant migration at a typical waste disposal site. - migration of leachate - runoff that encounters waste - contaminates transported in groundwater - contaminants in groundwater discharged to surface water List and briefly describe the types of vertical barriers available as passive containment alternatives. Slurry trench cutoff walls - These are commonly made of soil-bentonite, cement-bentonite, or plastic concrete. The process involves excavating a trench around the contaminated area, and replacing it with the low permeability backfill. Grout curtains - These are most commonly used when materials such as rock are involved (and cannot be excavated). The grout curtain is pressure injected into the rock and then sets in place, filling the fractures and voids What are active containment systems? List three alternative techniques. Active systems are systems which require ongoing energy input while controlling and containing contaminant migration. Some additional alternatives might be: - excavation and disposal of the contaminated soil - electrokinetic soil decontamination - biological or chemical permeable treatment beds - soil washing - low-temperature soil treatment 001 Environmental Resources Managment Page 5 of 1

7 Hazardous Waste Management, nd ed. Instructors Manual Soil on a five-acre site has become contaminated with a mixture of volatile organic compounds. Prepare a brief outline indicating what type of data you would need to collect to begin analyzing remedial measures. The different soil, contaminant and environmental properties are to be found to analyze remedial measures for the compounds. The different soil properties that affect the treatment method are Permeability, Porosity, Grain Size Distribution, Moisture Content, ph, Organic Content, Bulk Density. As the site has been contaminated with different VOC's, only representative compounds should be taken into consideration. For example, TCDD should be taken as a representation for all PCDD's. The contaminant properties which affect the treatment methods are Henry's Law Constant, Solubility, Adsorption Coefficient, VOC Concentration in Soil, Polarity, Vapor Pressure, Diffusion Coefficient. The environmental properties also affect the treatment methods. The different environmental properties that affect the remedial measures are Temperature, Humidity, Wind Speed, Solar Radiation, Precipitation, Terrain, Vegetation Use Hartley's method to estimate the rate of volatilization of trichloroethane.

10 Hazardous Waste Management, nd ed. Instructors Manual Briefly describe the alternative processes that could be considered for removing volatile organics from soils. 1. Soil Vapor Extraction: a non-steady state process by which VOC's are removed from the soil. It may be accomplished in situ in the vadose zone or above ground. It operates by passing an air stream through the soil and transferring the contaminants from the soil to the air. (See Sec. 9-). Soil Washing: The passing of solvent through the soil in a fashion similar to Figs: 10-1 and 10- (pages 596, 597). Organic contaminants are removed from the recovered solvent using solvent extraction and the solvent may be reused.. Chemical Stabilization (see Chap. 11): Stabilization is a process where additives are mixed with waste to reduce the toxicity of the waste and to minimize the rate of contaminant migration. In this process, the contaminants are fully or partially bound by the addition of supporting media, binders, or other modifiers. 4. In-situ bioremediation: The process where the contaminated ground water and subsurface contaminant are treated at the same place where they are found without excavating the overlying soil is called Em-situ Bioremediation. All the treatment actually takes place in the subsurface. (See Section 10-6) 5. In-site vitrification: In-situ Vitrification is a process where the remediation of the contaminated soil is done by melting the soil into a molten mass by applying electric current. As the current flows through the soil, heat builds up, eventually causing the soil to melt. (See Section 11-) 6. Low Temperature Thermal Stripping: Soil is excavated and placed in a device where the soil is mechanically dis-assugated (typically thru the use of a screw conveyor). By passing a heated oil through the center of the screw conveyor, heat is added to the soil and organic vapors are driven off. Additional details may be found in "Hazardous Waste Soil Remediation" (Wilson, D. J. and Clarke, A. N. ed.), Marcel Dekker, Inc., Environmental Resources Managment Page 10 of 1
11 Hazardous Waste Management, nd ed. Instructors Manual An underground storage tank (UST) containing trichloroethane at a chemical plant has ruptured. The plume currently extends west to a distance of 45 feet and is 10 feet wide at this distance. The depth of the plume is 1 feet and the seasonal high ground water table is at a depth of 7 feet. Provide a preliminary design and layout of a soil vapor extraction system. Specifically determine: pressure (a) (b) (c) The required number of extraction wells and their layout. The volumetric capacity in cubic feet per minute (CFM) and operating system of the blower. Equipment layout and any required ancillary facilities. State any assumptions made. Contaminant - Trichloroethane Plume Extension - 45 ft - west; 10 ft - wide Depth of the plume - 1 ft Water table - 7 ft Assumptions: the curves in Fig and 9-11 are applicable to this site. The minimum measurable vacuum pressure at the radius of influence of the extraction wells will be 0.5 inches water gauge (15 pa). Solution: 1) Using Fig. 16-, a vacuum of 0.5 inches water gage can be obtained from either CFM blower, with 5 foot radius of influence per extraction well, or a 40 CFM blower with 40 foot radius of influence. Selecting a 40 CFM blower yields an extraction well spacing of 80 feet. Eight extraction wells should be adequate to cover the plume. ) Using Fig. 16-, a 40 CFM blower per extraction well must be capable of generating a vacuum of 4 inches of water gage. This does not include any losses in the piping system, which would have to be considered after the piping system is designed. Because the blowers will be manifold to all extraction wells, the system must be capable of producing 8 x CFM at 4 inches of water gage (8450 pa). ) Ancillary equipment required includes manifold piping, a Knocrout drum to remove any water removed by the vacuum system, and a Carbon adsorption system or other means of removing organics from the air before release to the atmosphere. As the water table is above the plume depth, ground water extraction pumps has to be installed into the vapor extraction wells to either lower the- ground water table (and therefore enlarge the vadose zone) and/or concurrently remove contaminated ground water. Many of the system options, enhancements discussed above may be considered in this Preliminary design. A schematic representation is shown below in Fig Identify additional parameters other than those presented in Table 16- that might affect SVE system performance. Further, describe how these parameters influence system performance. (Refer to Lyman, et al., Reference 85, for additional information.) The additional parameters that might affect the SVE system performance other than those listed in table 9- are: 1. Vapor density : It is the chemical concentration in air in which the saturated vapor is the maximum concentration. The volatilization rate can be determined by vapor density. Vapor density and vapor pressure are affected by interaction with soils. 001 Environmental Resources Managment Page 11 of 1
12 Hazardous Waste Management, nd ed. Instructors Manual To have a saturated vapor in moist soil, some chemicals may require only a low total soil concentration. The total volatilization rate decreases if the chemicals are incorporated into the soil.. Mass transport by Wick effect : The process of transport of a chemical from the soil body to the surface by capillary action is called Wick effect or Wick evaporation. The rate of evaporation increases with evaporation of water causing capillary action Given the following octanol water partition coefficients, K ow, indicate for which compounds vacuum extraction is a candidate process for removing the compound from the vadose zone of contaminated soil. Compound Log K ow Trichloroethene.8 Pyrene 4.88 Polychlorinated biphenyl congeners 6.01 Vinyl chloride 1.8 Ethyl benzene.15 Phenol Lindane.9 0 DDT Butanone (methyl ethyl ketone) 0.6 The Octanol Water Partition coefficients, K OW Co C where Co concentration in Octanol (mg/ L or µg/ L) C concentration in Water (m g/ L or µg/ L) The Octanol-Water Partition coefficient is useful in estimating fate and transport of chemicals and is related to soil adsorption coefficients. Chemicals with low values of K OW (< 10) tend not to be hydrophilic and have low soil adsorption. As vacuum extraction is used for removing the compound from vadose zone of contaminated soil, that is from soil/water, higher the K OW, more efficient is the vacuum extraction process. Compound Log K OW K OW Vacuum Extraction 1) Trichloroethene Possible ) Pyrene Possible ) Polychlorinated Possible Biphenyl Congeners 4) Vinyl Chloride Possible 5) Ethyl Benzene Possible 6) Phenol Possible 7) Lindane Possible 8) DDT Possible 9) -Butanone Not Possible (methyl ethyl ketone) As for most of the cases K OW > 10, vapor extraction is possible. The efficiency is greater for DDT, followed by Polychlorinated Biphenyl Congeners, Pyrene and Lindane. 001 Environmental Resources Managment Page 1 of 1

When a police informer (a 'balance') is murdered in a tough area of Paris, the cops - looking for a replacement - put the squeeze on a local racketeer, Dede (Leotard) and his prostitute girlfriend. They are aware that Dede is out of favour with his mob bosses, and will exploit the situation any way they can.
With its gritty, street-level feel and warts-and-all, anti-heroic cop characters, there are obvious comparisons between Bob Swaim's film and The French Connection. But while celebrated at the time for its realism, this sporadically violent tale of a Parisian plain-clothes unit's exploitation of a pair of informers doesn't pass the test of time as well as Friedkin's movie, trapped somewhat by its very early-'80s stylistics.
WHat do hold up well are the performances. Shot in the - now typical, but then not so - verite style, Leotard and Baye are believable as the pair caught between the devil and the deep blue sea, and the cops - coming across like a particularly rotten branch of The Sweeney, are a reminder of the bad old days.
It's as tough and gritty as it needs to be, but is hamstrung somewhat by its '80s-ness.

Updating your home decor doesn't need to be a major undertaking and you don't have to shell out a king's ransom to get it done. Here are few methods to give your home a fresh look in a short time span, without having to break a sweat or your budget.
Upgrade lampshades with fresh ones in more fashionable shapes or fresh white shades.

Paint is the timeless makeover potion. In lieu of re-painting an entire room, simply paint one wall with a focal color or paint another rectangle over a couch to use as a gallery space. It's also possible to paint the interior of book shelves in a surprising color or paint the ceiling with a lighter variation of the wall color. Upgrade your kitchen area with fresh paint and other space in the home.
Update your window dressings
Maestro Bath and other home retailers have tons of ready-made draperies you may hem to the appropriate size, or you may create your own from covers or lengths of designer- outlet fabric. Suspend from an eye-catching fresh curtain rod, also offered in stock sizes.
A traditional display scheme from Victorian times
Make a gallery wall of your family photos along with other smaller pictures in contrasting (matching) frames, set up in a collage manner on a wall such as a hallway or stairwell. (For best outcomes, first develop a plan by organizing them on the ground till you identify the perfect balance and composition.
Upgrade your carpets
Carpet outlets frequently have remnants of top quality carpet at rock bottom prices which make an excellent area rug. The outlet may have edges bound for you or you can do it on your own with carpet-binding tape and other neat hand-sewing.
Re-tile kitchen backsplashes
If you're renovating, set up a wood-burning or gas fueled fireplace in such a way that enables you to appreciate flickering flames anytime you are seated in a cozy chair or under the sheets- all available at MaestroBath.

Seasonal Accents for your home
Take a stroll in the woods, beach or park and pick up exciting (and free) periodic accents for your house. A tray filled with pine-cones, a large vase of dry pampas grass-stalks, or a bowl of striking beach glass, pebbles or shells all highlight eye catching home decor extras.
Liven up the entrance
Liven up the entrance by painting the front door a pleasing color. Combine it with a fresh lighting fitting, house numbers, and mailbox.
Built to Last
You can find high-quality furnishings which designed to last-leather often lasts much longer than cloth or vinyl .Certain vinyl sofas can vie with leather for long life but with proper care, you'll have fixtures that you can appreciate for a long time. However, if you need a feminine, kitschy or even pattern, you should go with cloth.
Since the decision regarding home decoration is important one, don't rush, and ensure that you're selecting the decoration ideas that work finest for you.

For the first few years of his life, the boy didn't know the Still Room was there. To him, the heavy wooden door was simply the point at which the cellar stairs ended, just as the pantry was where they began. He often played on those stairs, enjoying the cool dampness and the reassuring sound of the kitchen floorboards creaking above his head as Mrs. Henderson prepared supper. He would sit in the coolness and run his toy cars over the grey stone, and think of adventures for his tin soldiers. Sometimes he would search for a toy for hours before finally finding that he had left it two or three steps above the wooden door while playing on the stairs. But as for what lay beyond that door, he gave little thought. It was like the locked drawers in his mother's desk, or the trunk in the attic warped shut with rust and age. Something beyond his reach, and not interesting enough to consider further.
The first time he tried to open the door, he was perhaps six years old. Certainly young enough that his chubby hands could scarcely clasp the massive iron handle. Later, he would be unable to recall what had sparked his curiosity after years of disinterest; he would remember only how strong and impenetrable the door seemed. He pushed down on the latch with both thumbs, but it stayed still even when he dangled from the handle with his full weight. After that, he thought about the door more often. He tried on other occasions to open it, thinking each time that he simply hadn't been strong enough on the last attempt. Each time, it refused to budge.
One day, as the boy tugged on the door with one hand, model airplane dangling from the other, his mother's voice drifted down the stairs. "Darling? What are you. . ." Her voice trailed off as she saw him jump quickly away from the door. She looked surprised for a moment, and maybe a little frightened, but she laughed and pushed a dark curl of hair behind her ear. "Oh, sweetheart, you mustn't feel guilty. What little boy wouldn't be curious? And besides, it will be yours one day."
"Can I go inside, Mummy?" he asked.
She scooped him up in her arms, resting his weight on her rounded hip. "Oh, no, darling, never. You must promise me that you will never, ever go in that room. Do you understand? We can look inside, but we can't open the door."
She smiled as she said it, and he smelled her breath, the peppermint leaves she liked to chew. "I promise," he said, and he meant it, because he felt certain in that moment that she wasn't just trying to keep something from him.
"Right, then, let's take a look, shall we?"
In the upper part of the door, at the level of his mother's face, there was a square of black metal with a keyhole just like the one near the handle. The boy's mother reached inside the neck of her dress and fished out a chain with an iron key dangling from it. He hoped that she would open the door completely, but instead she unlocked the little window. "There, darling, can you see?" she asked, holding him up.
The first thing he saw was a stone wall speckled with green moss. It was illuminated by a large fire burning in the hearth. But the fire looked wrong, the boy realized. It didn't move. He could clearly see the orange flames, lightening to yellow at the edges, and the deep red glow of coals at the center. But none of it moved.
Then, to the left of the hearth, he saw the men.
They stood in the center of the room, facing each other across a distance of about five feet. Except they didn't stand, they strained towards each other; one man's left foot was raised just slightly off the ground in mid-step, while the other had his knees bent into a crouch as though about to spring. But neither moved. Their feet stayed in the same position, their hands didn't tremble, the draft of cold air in the cellar didn't move the hair on their heads.
The boy tore his eyes away from the two men and craned his head so that he could see the room's other walls. All held torches, bright and flaming yet frozen.
"Why aren't they moving, Mummy?" the boy asked at last, petulant in his confusion.
"They are," his mother whispered as though they could hear. "They're just moving very, very slowly. So slowly we can't see it. Your great-great-grandfather spent his life measuring their speed. He calculated that they move only one quarter of an inch forward every year. At the start, hundreds of years ago, they were on opposite sides of the room. Can you imagine?"
The boy looked back at the men. He studied their clothes. One, who the boy would learn to call the Knight, wore thin linen hose and a dark green woolen shirt that hung almost to his knees. His feet were wrapped in rough leather shoes. Despite the crude-looking clothing, a gold pendant hung around his neck and he wore a ring with a large blue gemstone. He held a long sword in both hands, awkwardly extending out from shoulder level. The boy could faintly see the Knight's bared teeth, and a drop of spittle frozen in the air beneath his bearded chin.
The second, who the boy would come to think of as the Squire, wore even rougher clothes, his baggy trousers made of patched, blotchy wool. He seemed young, although the boy couldn't make out much of his face. He had black hair tied at the nape of his neck in a leather thong. His shapeless tunic was unlaced at the top to reveal pale, hairless flesh. In his right hand, he held a kind of club with metal spikes emerging from the top. It hung in the air over his head, caught in an arc between himself and the Knight.
Along the walls hung some shields, along with several strange weapons. There were trunks and boxes in several of the corners, and barrels lining one entire end of the room. One small patch of floor seemed to serve as a simple bed, with a pallet and thin blanket. A rough wooden table lay on its side, knocked carelessly out of the way. Try as he might, the boy could not divine the room's purpose.
"Why are they fighting, Mummy?"
She set him down on the stones and closed the window. "No one remembers. Some say the Knight. . . did, did something, to the Squire's sweetheart. There's another story, that the Squire stole from the Knight and was caught. There are other stories, ones I'll tell you when you're older." She laughed quietly. "But, really, we don't even know if they actually are a knight and his squire. It's been forgotten."
The boy stared at the dark wood of the door, silent. "Then. . . Why are they there?"
She started to say something, hesitated, bit her lip. "We can't be sure. The important thing, though, is that we have a very, very special job. We're guardians."
The boy silently considered the word. Guardians. It felt noble, and important. "How? How do we guard them, Mummy?"
"We have to keep this door closed, and never, ever tell anyone that they are there."
The boy's excitement deflated into mild disappointment; he'd been picturing battles, epic defenses of their charges, the way it happened in the stories of knights and kings Mummy read him before bed. "So that's all we have to do to keep the Knight and the Squire safe?" he asked, hoping vaguely that there was more to it than that.
"No, darling," his mother replied gently, and when the boy was a man he would realize it was the first time she had spoken to him like he was an adult. "It's not those two we're keeping safe. It's the rest of us."
Then came the days of bombs, and blackouts, and ration cards. Mrs. Henderson went to work as an ambulance driver, and a lot of the ladies Mummy knew went to be nurses or secretaries, or take other jobs the boy didn't quite understand. Many of the boy's friends went away to the country, and before she left to drive the ambulance Mrs. Henderson tried to convince Mummy to send him away as well. "He's only ten, Ma'am! He shouldn't be here, not now. Your uncle still has that lovely house in Yorkshire, why don't—"
"Thank you, Mrs. Henderson," Mummy said icily, sounding unkind for one of the few times in the boy's memory. "But that won't be necessary. We'll be safe here."
Mrs. Henderson looked as if she wanted to say more, but just shook her head. She kissed the boy on the cheek and cast him a pitying look as she left with her suitcase. "Be safe, lad. Take care of your Mum."
On the nights when the sirens went, the boy and his mother went down to the cellar and sat with their backs against the wooden door. Mummy assured him it would be safe, but she still flinched whenever they heard a bomb fall nearby. She often had dark circles under her eyes now, and the boy began to notice strands of grey in the deep brown of her hair. Even after nights when they had no sleep because of the bombs, she left for her job early in the morning. She'd been forced to take the boy with her once, when the road to his school was blocked, and he had spent a bewildering morning watching her and four other women bustle about and shuffle papers and tell people whose houses had been bombed where they would be staying now. He'd watched the line of grubby, silent people and thought of the bomb craters and piles of rubble where there had once been buildings, new ones every time he went with Mummy while she did the shopping. He wondered when he and Mummy would have to join that line of sad people.
In the years since she had shown him the Still Room, they had spoken of it only occasionally. There had been times when he had asked to see it again and she had gone down to the cellar with her key. The boy had tried to detect the slow movement of their bodies, but couldn't be sure if anything had changed. Mummy had always indulged these requests, but never seemed to want to stay in the cellar or discuss it for very long.
Now they didn't speak of it at all, even though they spent so many of their nights leaning against the door. At first it was because they were both too busy thinking of other things. Then, the boy realized that Mummy had always been a little frightened when she talked about it, although she hid it well; he understood that they didn't speak of it anymore because there was too much fear already.
One night, when the raids were particularly bad, he asked a question in nervousness without really thinking about it. "Did Father know about the Still Room?"
Mummy's eyes tilted toward the ceiling as the shrieking whine of a falling bomb passed overhead. "No," she said after they heard the explosion. "Seeing that would have ruined him. I told him when he proposed that there would be only one secret I would ever keep from him, and that he could only marry me if he could bear never knowing." She let out a little laugh. "He kept his word, and never asked me about it once, even though he lived with it right under his feet the entire time, and I know he must have wondered. Oh, he was such a patient man. I wish so that you could remember him."
The boy stared into their lantern light and pulled his blanket tighter around his shoulders. "Why would it have ruined him?"
"He was very logical, very scientific. He couldn't bear superstition, it was the only thing that could make him truly angry. If he'd seen that room, his whole world would have fallen apart."
The boy felt her turn to look at him in the half-darkness. "Because, what else could have created that room, except for God?"
Something fretful moved in the boy's stomach. He'd never heard her talk about God. He went to Church with Aunt Maureen, not Mummy. Once or twice, he'd heard whispers about the fact that his mother was never there. He had never thought to ask, but he realized now that before this moment he would have said if pressed that she didn't believe.
"Why would God do that?"
"I believe that he granted us a reprieve. He didn't stop what's happening in that room, that battle, but he slowed it." The convulsive shudder of anti-aircraft guns sounded from the east. "He gave us more time. It's not just the room either, it's the house; this house has survived everything. The Great Fire, Cromwell, every other horrible thing that's happened in the last six hundred years, all of it."
The boy understood now why they stayed at home instead of going to the shelters like other people. More planes groaned overhead. "What do you think will happen when they reach each other? The Knight and the Squire?" he whispered.
"Oh, I think the world will end." Her voice came out flat amidst the clatter of the fight raging above them.
The boy felt a sensation like falling, and he bit down on his tongue in an effort not to panic. Mummy must have realized how much her words frightened him, because she took his hand in her own. "But they won't reach each other yet, not for generations. And do you know what that means?" She waited, but he didn't respond. "That means, the world isn't ending now."
The fear didn't leave him, but it settled, and he leaned against her shoulder. He fell asleep, and in his dreams airplanes dropped death from the sky and everything burned except him and Mummy and the Still Room.
On a different night, one in which the sirens sounded and he and Mummy slept in the cellar, the boy awoke with his heart pounding and his stomach twisted in fear. At first he thought it was just one of the bombs, which often kept him in a state of fitful half-sleep, but something about this was different. Mummy sat too still, and her hand squeezed his arm so hard it hurt. "Mum—"
"Shh," she hissed, and then the boy heard the creaking of footsteps on the kitchen floorboards. He remembered, now, that the sound of breaking glass had been what jerked him out of sleep.
The boy held his breath, listening to the sounds of someone rummaging through the house, objects dropped, doors opening. Over all these sounds his pulse hammered in his ears, and Mummy's breath came in quick gasps like she'd been running.
The footsteps returned to the kitchen and the door to the cellar swung open. Things clattered as they were knocked off the pantry shelves, and then a beam of torchlight swept down the stairs and settled on the two of them. The boy closed his eyes against the harsh light while Mummy let out a little cry.
"Don't scream. Not a word, hear?" The man's voice came out in a rough, low whisper.
"Please," Mummy said, "there's jewelry upstairs—"
"I said, shut it!" A pause, then. "What's in there?"
"Nothing," Mummy answered. "Just an old wine cellar, please. . ."
"Bollocks." The boy still couldn't make out a face behind the torchlight, but he could see the man's bulky form as he shuffled awkwardly down the stone steps. Mummy clambered to her feet as he neared the bottom, her hands half raised in a pleading gesture. The boy stayed seated, legs weak and rubbery.
The man pointed the torch right into Mummy's eyes, so that she had to wince and turn her face away. He had a short, stocky build, with lank hair falling into his eyes. A bulging canvas bag hung from his left hand. The boy's nostrils filled with the man's rank, unwashed odor.
"Open it."
"I can't, I don't have—"
The man dropped the bag and hit her, an open hand across the side of her face. She staggered to the side, blood already trickling from the corner of her mouth. "Bitch, I told you to open it!"
"Please, you don't understand, I can't—"
He hit her again, this time in the stomach with a closed fist. She crumpled against the wall, gasping for breath. The boy found himself on his feet. He threw himself at the man, fists swinging; they connected, but the blows hurt his knuckles and seemed to glance harmlessly off the man's body. Then a callused hand encircled his throat, and the back of his head hit stone, and his feet kicked in search of the ground.
"You little shit," the man growled. Through the haze of sparks invading his vision, the boy dimly heard his mother scream. It wasn't a sound of pain or panic, though, but rage.
"Stop! I'll open it! I'll give you everything you want!" she shrieked.
The fingers loosened but didn't leave his throat. "Do it now, or I'll snap his fucking neck."
She fished the key out from under the neck of her nightgown. She didn't look frightened anymore but hard, determined. She unlocked the door and flung it open, stepping back quickly.
The man let the boy slip to the ground, forgotten. He stared, took a hesitant step forward, stopped. "What the hell is this?" He sounded nervous for the first time.
"A fortune," his mother murmured. "That sword. The ring on the Knight's finger. Everything else, the shield hanging on the wall, the contents of the trunk, it's all centuries old. The things in this room are worth more than the Crown Jewels."
"But what. . . What is it?" he snapped, looking wildly between her and the scene in the room.
"You don't need to understand that. All that's important is that they can't move, they can't stop you. You can take it all." She lowered her eyes, and the boy could see something false in the way she spoke. "This is my family fortune, but if saves my son, take it."
The man hesitated, throat working as he swallowed. Then, "You try anything to stop me, and that boy dies first."
"I know."
The man nodded and moved into the room, pausing to scoop up the bag full of their things from upstairs. He walked with timid steps toward the Knight and the Squire, as though afraid they would suddenly spring into motion.
It didn't happen right away. He passed through the threshold at normal speed. The boy saw his steps slow, and thought it was just caution. But then the man's sixth step into the room seemed to take minutes, his foot rising and returning to the floor with excruciating slowness. His arms, instead of moving normally at his sides, drifted as if floating underwater. On his next step, the man began to turn his head, to look back at the boy and his mother. The boy saw his blunt, filthy face in profile, halfway through the turn. After that, he could see no movement at all.
Finally, the boy turned away from the sight of the intruder and looked up at Mummy. She stood illuminated by the room's unmoving firelight, one white-knuckled hand gripping the edge of the door. She stared at the thief, jaw set and eyes narrowed. Blood stained the white skin of her face, and a violet bruise had begun to form on one cheekbone. Then, without a word, she shut the door and locked it. Scooping the boy up in her arms, she held him tight and let him weep.
The boy grew up, while his mother grew older. The war ended, and the city's lights returned, and the cellar once again became a place they rarely went. One day, after he came home from university, his mother said she was getting too old to climb the cellar stairs and wished to move to a smaller house; he didn't believe her, but he saw the pleading look in her eyes and smiled and let her put the chain with the key around his neck. He quickly became accustomed to the weight of it under his shirt. When he saw her happiness during visits to her little cottage he realized how much staying in the house had cost her.
The day came when he brought his new wife to live with him in the house, and he told her of the responsibility he had and that one of their children would one day inherit. She understood, and said she loved him, but never returned to the cellar after the day he showed her the Still Room. One day he found his daughter at the foot of the stone steps, fumbling with the latch, and he lifted her up and showed her the Still Room, and told her stories of the Knight, and the Squire, and the Thief. Later, he did the same for his grandson, even though he was now old and his back ached when he lifted the boy in his arms. First his daughter and then her son, when they were old enough, heard what his mother had believed about what would happen when the Knight and the Squire finally met in combat.
Now the old man watches his second grandchild, a girl, toddling about the kitchen and wonders if he will still be alive to show her the room as he did her mother and her older brother. He hopes so. He would like a chance to tell the stories once again.
But there is one thing he will not speak of. Over the decades, he has been able to perceive small changes in the men. He has seen how the hate-filled eyes of the Knight and the rage of the Squire have shifted away from one another. He has seen how their gaze has now turned in the direction of the Thief, this interloper in their incomprehensible reckoning. The feet of the Squire, once pointed ever so resolutely toward the Knight, have turned toward the Thief. The Knight's sword is no longer angled at the Squire's throat, but at this more distant figure. And the Thief has managed to turn just slightly toward the door, enough so that his stance can be recognized as one of retreat. Perhaps he is imagining it, but the old man thinks the Knight and the Squire already seem to be catching up.
And as for what will happen to the world when they reach him, the old man cannot say.

I know, I know, if it ain't broke, don't fack with it but the NFL seems to have these meetings every year and tries to make the game better by haircuts and imbecilic rule changes. So why can't I propose some rules of my own? (Feel free to add any)
1. Pro Bowl- The Pro Bowl invitation has become the Gold Glove of the NFL: the player is honored, but unless you're a first timer or Peyton Manning, chances are you don't want to play. After a long, hard, backbreaking season, the first thing you want to do is fly to Hawaii, put on some pads and go at it again--for fun? But watching AP last year should've struck an idea... why not let only rookies and 1st and 2nd year players in. They would actually play with heart and it may salvage the game.
2. Draft Lottery- Worse gets first. It's just not fair. I understand we can't have 8-8 teams grabbing first rounders year after year, but if you make it like the NBA lottery, the worst team gets better odds I'm tired of the Raiders getting top picks year after year and blowing it.
3. Suspended for Life- There's a disparity in suspensions: Chris Henry is getting chance after chance while Pacman Jones is on the outside looking in. I like that Roger Goodell is ruling with an iron fist, but if you are going to ban one, ban all.
4. No More Icing the Kicker- It's becoming an annoying trend and it barely works or it completely backfires.
5. Stop Being a B*tch, kick and play defense- The "Devin Hester" rule got shot down, but I think they should reconsider. Intentionally kicking away from Hester is about as b*tchmade as taking knees in the 1st and 3rd quarter.
6. Radio for LB- The Linebacker is the Quarterback of the defense he should be able to get signals just like the QB.

Merit Financial: A Broken System - What the Debt Ceiling Debate Really Means
Perhaps the only thing worse than watching our great nation's creditworthiness disintegrate as we default on our obligations is the idea that we may have to endure another whole week of watching politicians give dueling press conferences on the topic. Hopes were high last night that some sort of progress would be announced during the President's unusual televised address, but no such luck. Instead he pointed the finger at house Republicans while their leader, John Boehner, struck back by blaming the whole crisis on the President. Was that a productive way for the two most powerful politicians in the country to spend an entire evening while the nation is hurling toward a major crisis, only days away? I'd venture a guess that it was not.
Let's take a moment to put this whole charade in perspective. Though this question of whether or not to raise the debt ceiling is being treated as some groundbreaking battle on which the future of the American way of life rests, that's simply not the case. Raising the debt ceiling is not a new process. In fact, it has been raised seventy four times since 1962. Ronald Regan raised it 19 times, just during his presidency. So the idea that the debt ceiling debate is some novel battlefield on which the nation's fiscal direction should be decided is rather silly.
If you go back to the beginning of the debate, there was a purpose behind congress' refusal to increase the nation's borrowing limits. They wanted to create a solution to our nation's horrific deficit problems before borrowing more money, right? But to solve the long term imbalance, at least one of two things must happen. Either we must reform the tax code to increase revenue, reform entitlement programs to decrease spending, or do some combination of the two. As of this morning, there are two plans on the table (one offered by house Republicans and one by senate Democrats), neither of which does either of the above. So at this point, we are seven days from a US debt default, and neither plan we have does anything but kick the can down the road. Didn't the whole debate start out of a desire not to kick the can down the road? From a practical standpoint, this is essentially the definition of insanity.
So what's the real meaning of all this madness? If we go back to the midterm elections, you'll recall that the new house majority John Boehner stated that his single goal over the next two years was to ensure President Obama is defeated in the next election cycle. This is not a recipe for progress in a divided government. At the same time, it's unclear if the senate Democrats' plan would even get enough votes from their own party to pass, seeing as it does not raise taxes. That does not sound like a party ready to compromise. The point is neither side is willing to put the nation's interests in front of their own political agenda. Thus, the system is broken and ineffective.
The fact that there has been no progress made on one of the simplest, most routine fiscal issues ever debated is a terrifying statement. There is little doubt now that the United States of America will lose its triple-A credit rating, but that's not the terrifying fact. Yes it could cripple the economy, raise borrowing costs, and send shockwaves through financial markets. That's a problem, but it's not the problem. Since we can't come together on a simple little issue like this, there is little hope for a solution to the true catastrophe in the making; the $60 trillion of US deficits and unfunded liabilities. That's the real problem.
So forget next Tuesday for a moment. Maybe a deal will be struck in Washington and maybe it won't. In the long run it won't much matter because absolutely nothing is being done on either side of the isle about the real deficit problems. Even if we wake up tomorrow and they've struck a deal, the message has been sent: our system is too dysfunctional to tackle even the simplest fiscal issues.
I met someone last week who bought gold for the first time at $1585 per ounce. He was worried, having bought near the all-time high and asked if I thought gold would keep going up. My response to him was pretty simple. I asked him "Don't you think the falling dollar and America's debt issues are the biggest driving factors behind higher gold prices?" He agreed. Then I asked "What do you see that makes you think these debt problems will be solved any time soon?" To this he had no answer, and neither do I.

Please indicate if there is a document that references Apache Tomcat icd-10 support as my searches of the Tomcat FAQ and Tomcat related websites have not produced any hits. My US based employer is a health care based organization that requires that we research every application to determine if there is a roadmap to support the migration to icd-10 by 2013. My initial response to my employer that there is a low likelihood of any issue with Tomcat and icd-10 was rejected as not being sufficiently 'official'.

About Me
Originally from NJ; now based in Brooklyn, NY.
I have recently become *very* busy with a number of different things in my life. I still love doing great photo work, but I have become a lot more discriminating about who I will work with for TFP. Please do not let that discourage you from contacting me about it -- I welcome and respond to all enquiries -- it simply means I may have to say 'no' for reasons that have nothing to do with you.
If you're looking for quick shots to throw up on the web, do not bother. I take my time and I edit extensively -- that's just how I work. Please understand that this is not my job -- I do it because I enjoy it and I'm good at it.
I look forward to hearing from you!
Escorts are fine, provided they do not attempt to direct the shoot. If I feel the escort is getting in my way, I will pack up my gear and leave.
