10 CFR § 61.7 - Concepts.
(a) The disposal facility.
(1) Part 61 is intended to apply to land disposal of radioactive waste and not to other methods such as sea or extraterrestrial disposal. Part 61 contains procedural requirements and performance objectives applicable to any method of land disposal. It contains specific technical requirements for near-surface disposal of radioactive waste, a subset of land disposal, which involves disposal in the uppermost portion of the earth, approximately 30 meters. Near-surface disposal includes disposal in engineered facilities which may be built totally or partially above-grade provided that such facilities have protective earthen covers. Near-surface disposal does not include disposal facilities which are partially or fully above-grade with no protective earthen cover, which are referred to as "above-ground disposal." Burial deeper than 30 meters may also be satisfactory. Technical requirements for alternative methods may be added in the future.
(2) Near-surface disposal of radioactive waste takes place at a near-surface disposal facility, which includes all of the land and buildings necessary to carry out the disposal. The disposal site is that portion of the facility which is used for disposal of waste and consists of disposal units and a buffer zone. A disposal unit is a discrete portion of the disposal site into which waste is placed for disposal. For near-surface disposal, the disposal unit is usually a trench. A buffer zone is a portion of the disposal site that is controlled by the licensee and that lies under the site and between the boundary of the disposal site and any disposal unit. It provides controlled space to establish monitoring locations which are intended to provide an early warning of radionuclide movement, and to take mitigative measures if needed. In choosing a disposal site, site characteristics should be considered in terms of the indefinite future and evaluated for at least a 500-year timeframe.
(b) Waste classification and near-surface disposal.
(1) Disposal of radioactive waste in near-surface disposal facilities has the following safety objectives: protection of the general population from releases of radioactivity, protection of individuals from inadvertent intrusion, and protection of individuals during operations. A fourth objective is to ensure stability of the site after closure.
(2) A cornerstone of the system is stability - stability of the waste and the disposal site so that once emplaced and covered, the access of water to the waste can be minimized. Migration of radionuclides is thus minimized, long-term active maintenance can be avoided, and potential exposures to intruders reduced. While stability is a desirable characteristic for all waste much radioactive waste does not contain sufficient amounts of radionuclides to be of great concern from these standpoints; this waste, however, tends to be unstable, such as ordinary trash type wastes. If mixed with the higher activity waste, their deterioration could lead to failure of the system and permit water to penetrate the disposal unit and cause problems with the higher activity waste. Therefore, in order to avoid placing requirements for a stable waste form on relatively innocuous waste, these wastes have been classed as Class A waste. The Class A waste will be disposed of in separate disposal units at the disposal site. However, Class A waste that is stable may be mixed with other classes of waste. Those higher activity wastes that should be stable for proper disposal are classed as Class B and C waste. To the extent that it is practicable, Class B and C waste forms or containers should be designed to be stable, i.e., maintain gross physical properties and identity, over 300 years. For certain radionuclides prone to migration, a maximum disposal site inventory based on the characteristics of the disposal site may be established to limit potential exposure.
(3) It is possible but unlikely that persons might occupy the site in the future and engage in normal pursuits without knowing that they were receiving radiation exposure. These persons are referred to as inadvertent intruders. Protection of such intruders can involve two principal controls: institutional control over the site after operations by the site owner to ensure that no such occupation or improper use of the site occurs; or, designating which waste could present an unacceptable risk to an intruder, and disposing of this waste in a manner that provides some form of intruder barrier that is intended to prevent contact with the waste. This regulation incorporates both types of protective controls.
(4) Institutional control of access to the site is required for up to 100 years. This permits the disposal of Class A and Class B waste without special provisions for intrusion protection, since these classes of waste contain types and quantities of radioisotopes that will decay during the 100-year period and will present an acceptable hazard to an intruder. The government landowner administering the active institutional control program has flexibility in controlling site access which may include allowing productive uses of the land provided the integrity and long-term performance of the site are not affected.
(5) Waste that will not decay to levels which present an acceptable hazard to an intruder within 100 years is designated as Class C waste. This waste is disposed of at a greater depth than the other classes of waste so that subsequent surface activities by an intruder will not disturb the waste. Where site conditions prevent deeper disposal, intruder barriers such as concrete covers may be used. The effective life of these intruder barriers should be 500 years. A maximum concentration of radionuclides is specified for all wastes so that at the end of the 500 year period, remaining radioactivity will be at a level that does not pose an unacceptable hazard to an intruder or public health and safety. Waste with concentrations above these limits is generally unacceptable for near-surface disposal. There may be some instances where waste with concentrations greater than permitted for Class C would be acceptable for near-surface disposal with special processing or design. These will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Class C waste must also be stable.
(c) The licensing process.
(1) During the preoperational phase, the potential applicant goes through a process of disposal site selection by selecting a region of interest, examining a number of possible disposal sites within the area of interest and narrowing the choice to the proposed site. Through a detailed investigation of the disposal site characteristics the potential applicant obtains data on which to base an analysis of the disposal site's suitability. Along with these data and analyses, the applicant submits other more general information to the Commission in the form of an application for a license for land disposal. The Commission's review of the application is in accordance with administrative procedures established by rule and may involve participation by affected State governments or Indian Tribes. While the proposed disposal site must be owned by a State or the Federal government before the Commission will issue a license, it may be privately owned during the preoperational phase if suitable arrangements have been made with a State or the Federal government to take ownership in fee of the land before the license is issued.
(2) During the operational phase, the licensee carries out disposal activities in accordance with the requirements of this regulation and any conditions on the license. Periodically, the authority to conduct the above ground operations and dispose of waste will be subject to a license renewal, at which time the operating history will be reviewed and a decision made to permit or deny continued operation. When disposal operations are to cease, the licensee applies for an amendment to his license to permit site closure. After final review of the licensee's site closure and stabilization plan, the Commission may approve the final activities necessary to prepare the disposal site so that ongoing active maintenance of the site is not required during the period of institutional control.
(3) During the period when the final site closure and stabilization activities are being carried out, the licensee is in a disposal site closure phase. Following that, for a period of 5 years, the licensee must remain at the disposal site for a period of post-closure observation and maintenance to assure that the disposal site is stable and ready for institutional control. The Commission may approve shorter or require longer periods if conditions warrant. At the end of this period, the licensee applies for a license transfer to the disposal site owner.
(4) After a finding of satisfactory disposal site closure, the Commission will transfer the license to the State or Federal government that owns the disposal site. If the Department of Energy is the Federal agency administering the land on bahalf of the Federal government the license will be terminated because the Commission lacks regulatory authority over the Department for this activity. Under the conditions of the transferred license, the owner will carry out a program of monitoring to assure continued satisfactory disposal site performance, physical surveillance to restrict access to the site and carry out minor custodial activities. During this period, productive uses of the land might be permitted if those uses do not affect the stability of the site and its ability to meet the performance objectives. At the end of the prescribed period of institutional control, the license will be terminated by the Commission.

"Arrested" - Part One
- John P. Kee Author of Not Guilty! The Script
- 2003 27 Feb
Little Tony broke from the circle and began to run as though a Rottweiler were chasing him. As I looked over my shoulder to see what he was running from, I found myself being taken to the ground in a WWF-style wrestling move. Three policemen had come out of nowhere, and they were placing all of us under arrest. Two of the guys were forced against my car and searched. Red Dog and Raheem were so high they didn't even know what was going on. The cops had rolled up from behind the building. I was startled, of course. But I cannot say that I was afraid. I knew my purpose there.
They immediately separated us and began their interrogation. After explaining who I was and why I was there, I was disappointed at the rudeness of the cop who questioned me. His name was Detective Anthony Sloan. He was known as a mild-mannered cop, but he hated the drug dealing in the inner city. His assistant was Detective T.D. Miller, a hard-nosed cop from Newark, New Jersey, who had an attitude with me from the beginning. When I finally got up from the ground, handcuffed, I noticed that the cop who had chased Tony came back empty-handed. Next, the policeman began reading us our rights. At this point, I was starting to become impatient—I had more ministry to tend to that evening.
Then, just when I thought things couldn't get worse, they did. The cops discovered individually wrapped packs of crack cocaine on the two men I did not know. So they were not only charged with possession of an illegal drug, but also with the intent to sell.
Red Dog and Raheem were so high and panicked that they could not answer any questions, and they became very uncooperative with the officers. The policeman who had failed to capture Tony was visibly agitated and began to make a lot of negative comments.
I asked the detective why I was being detained. He said, "I don't know what you guys were passing to each other, but we saw something pass from your hand to theirs."
I looked up. "Are you serious?"
"We photographed the transaction."
"I pray it's on video so that we can examine it and show you your inaccuracy," I said. I assured him that when our hands met, we were preparing to pray in a circle.
Sergeant Miller laughed arrogantly. "Do you expect me to believe that?" Before placing me in his car, Miller looked at me and said, "It's over."
Before I knew it we were all headed for the Mecklenburg County Jail. Once there, they carried me into a dark room, and we sat around a round table. The room was freezing. I complained, and they assured me I would not be there long. "Not long" turned into eight hours. They asked me the same question over and over: What was my affiliation with Red Dog, Raheem, and the other two guys?
The other men, I later discovered, were Corey C and Michael H. I thought I had convinced the policemen that I had never met Corey or Michael, but Detective Miller was not buying it. Every time I told him that I was there as a minister of the Gospel, he made negative comments like, "Yeah, right! Try it again. I've heard that before."
Though I was uncomfortable at first, as the evening went on, I began to feel at peace with the situation. Truth is, as I look back at it now, I really got a kick out of the whole experience. It gave me the opportunity to testify to two detectives who could not comprehend the thought of a person wanting to help others, after midnight, in a place like Double Oaks.
Around eight o'clock that morning, Detective Miller stood up, slammed his hand on the table, and said, "All right Kee, while questioning Michael H and Corey C, we found out that you are not only the supplier; you have been running this drug operation for some time now."
I started to laugh in disbelief—and because I understood his strategy. Even if he felt I was not guilty, the fact that I was there, on the Hill, meant I knew something. So by accusing me, he felt I would talk. The ensuing questions made it clear to me that they had been following and watching me for some time.
They showed me pictures of properties that I own, and Miller even made the comment, "How could you gain so much in such a little time?" I was asked many questions about the business of drug trafficking, and I did not deny knowing how drugs were sold and the names of some of the people brought up in the investigation. This made Detective Sloan very enthusiastic, and I thought I saw him look at Detective Miller and say, "We got him this time."
This was not my first time being brought in for questioning. About ten years ago I had been followed for two days, brought in, and asked some of the same questions. Because of my testimony and willingness to share with others who I used to be and what I used to do, the officers were frankly puzzled—and angry. But I was still not prepared for what happened next.

Minyard Enters., Inc. v. Southeastern Chem. & Solvent Co.
ELR Citation: 29 ELR 21369
Nos. Nos. 98-1207, -1264, 184 F.3d 373/48 ERC 2025/(4th Cir., 07/13/1999)
The court holds that $200,000 awarded to a former owner whose property was damaged by an underground storage tank (UST) operator's negligence is not duplicative of the former owner's award for past and future response costs under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). A magistrate judge determined that the UST operator caused the property to be damaged and awarded CERCLA response costs to the former and present owners of the property. The magistrate judge also awarded the former owner damages for the UST operator's negligence under state law. The court first holds that the magistrate judge's finding that the UST operator ruptured one of the USTs on the property, thus proximately causing the property to be damaged, is not clearly erroneous. Soil samples taken from the property revealed the presence of the same type of chemicals supplied by the UST operator for use with the UST system. Furthermore, the magistrate judge's finding is fully supported by eyewitness testimony.
The court next holds that the $200,000 award to the former owner on its negligence claim for diminution in value of the property as a result of the UST operator's negligence and the damage award under CERCLA to the former owner do not constitute an impermissible double recovery. The two amounts are intended to compensate the former owner for two separate and distinct harms. Moreover, while the former owner was reimbursed for $24,000 it incurred in past response costs, the former owner cannot benefit economically from any future response costs because the former owner no longer owns the property.
The court then holds that the magistrate judge did not err in holding the UST operator liable for contribution under CERCLA §113(f) despite the former and present owners' failure to expressly seek contribution among potentially responsible parties under CERCLA §113(f) in their complaint. The owners properly pleaded and proved allegations supporting an entitlement to contribution from the UST operator for response costs under CERCLA §113(f), and the owners' failure to expressly demand relief in their complaint under §113(f) did not unfairly prejudice the UST operator. The court, however, holds that in apportioning all response costs under CERCLA §113(f), the magistrate judge improperly placed the burden of proving the appropriate allocation of response costs on the UST operator rather than on the former and present owners. The court, therefore, vacates the judgment with respect to the damages portion of the owners' contribution claim under CERCLA §113(f) and remands the case for the magistrate judge to reapportion costs with the burden of proving the UST operator's equitable share resting on the former and present owners.

****** up some exclusive merchandise for as little as $30.
The life of Bieber.
After setting up shop with pop-up stores in Miami, New York and Toronto during his Purpose Tour stops, Justin Bieber is collaborating exclusively with Urban Outfitters to sell his merchandise worldwide.
Tour merch is having a moment in fashion as of late, as you may have noticed Bieber sporting vintage Marilyn Manson, 2Pac and Metallica tees or every Kardashian-Jenner walking around in Kanye's Life of Pablo clothing, so the savvy 22-year-old is ready to take his fans' coins.
"The Purpose Collection" is made up of five pieces – a hoodie, short and long-sleeved t-shirts, a baseball cap and bomber jacket – ranging from $30-$90, all of which carry the jagged logo of his most recent LP.
All Urban Outfitters stores will stock the collection from this Friday (August 5) at 6pm local time before making it available on their website from August 8.
2 days until #PurposeTourXUO merch drops in all stores at 6pm. Find a store near you: https://t.co/qBaE9ClKr0 pic.twitter.com/pT4wmHOMf0

I'm like a kid without his ADHD medication after a few days of not exercising. I reach a point of having too much energy. I need to keep active, and my bike is the best way for me to release that energy. Is it too clichéd to say I couldn't live without my bikes?
I wish someone would invent cycling clothing where you can tan through the jersey and shorts. I tan particularly well and get bad tan lines. It's fine when I'm cycling but when I'm on a night out and I'm wearing a T-shirt with sleeves a bit too short, everyone thinks I've been hitting the sunbed.

I live in a good area of Dudley, even if it has got a rough reputation. We are all proud of our Black Country heritage. Birmingham and Wolverhampton are only eight miles away, offering the city life, yet the countryside is on my doorstep, including the Shropshire Hills and Severn Valley, which is very good for riding. I'm fortunate, location-wise.
I'm quite nerdy now, reading a lot of cycling scientific textbooks. David Epstein's The Sports Gene is the book I'm reading right now. It entertains me. I just wish I [read more] while I was first at uni; you could say I'm quite boring now.
I thoroughly enjoyed uni but it was hard combining cycling with the drinking culture. It's hard when you're drinking and then, in the winter, don't feel like riding till 5pm and it's dark by then. You don't feel like getting on the turbo in the student halls when everyone else is already drinking for the next night.
I have got a lot of embarrassing stories involving myself that I don't fancy sharing with Cycling Weekly! I won't go into any detail.
I neglected my studies in the first two years but I pulled it out of the bag in the end. If I did it again, I'd make more use of the time available to cycle.
A lot of my mates have been travelling around Europe, and one has just come back from India. Travelling is attractive to me more now but it's hard to fit it in with my cycling because you can't be off the bike for a lot of time. But I'm lucky that I go to a lot of different places with my cycling and I still do get the chance to have a look around.
Bread is my food of weakness. I love it. I could literally survive off just bread. I eat far too much of it. I love a fresh bakery. I can't help snacking on it.
When I'm not cycling, I'm like a sloth. It's the best way to describe myself, just lounging around. Sloths are cool, chilled and do nothing.

There are some business dinners where you actually need to do business. This requires a restaurant that makes an impression, but not such an impression that it distracts from the work at hand.
The Napa Grill fills this role nicely. Those who recall J's seafood restaurant in Hyde Park remember a quiet, classy but not pretentious place with good food and exceptional service. Napa Grill opened in the J's location with a contemporary menu and a special emphasis on fine wines.
The atmosphere and attitude are behaved. This is still a place where what's said in private can remain private, and patrons are not bombarded with background clamor or annoying music. The Napa Grill has plenty of elbow room. You can stretch a little after a long day and spread out plans. There's no private room, but Manager Craig Nuncio talks to every customer and can happily accommodate your needs. With a little notice he can get you a quiet spot in the side room for chat, even for a large group.
Another strategic advantage is location. If you're pulling business diners together from Northern Kentucky, downtown, Blue Ash and West Chester, the Napa Grill would make an easy rendezvous with its location right off the Dana Avenue exit from I-71.

In this blog I would like to humbly suggest a change in how hacking is calculated in CF rounds. I've talked to some of my friends and they agree that it feels a little unfair that someone who solved more problems scores less than someone who hacked more. A great example from where this happens is from the top positions (and other positions too) in today's round: Codeforces Round #482 (Div. 2) .
I have two main suggestions on how to calculate hacking points in a way that I consider fairer. The specific way may vary, but the key points are:
1) The more you successfully hack a certain problem, the less you should score with it. This means that the first hack on problem A should get you 100 points, but the second 50, the third 25 and so on (or something like this, maybe keep 50 for all the following hacks starting with the second one). I feel that a decreasing function for this is fairer because, in most cases, when you hack a certain problem, it is easier to hack it again. It only depends on luck to have lots of people in your room that made the mistake you spotted. Notice that, in this suggestion, if you hack problem A one time and then problem B one time, both of them should get you 100 points each.
2) The harder the problem, the more you should score by hacking it. This means that hacking problem A should get you 100 points, and hacking problem B 150 points, or something like this. I feel that in most cases it is harder to hack harder problems because generally their solutions are longer and therefore harder to read. Also fewer people solve harder problems, so it makes sense to increase the value of hacking them to make it more attractive for people that did passed pretest for this problem to try to hack others' solutions.
I am happy to discuss ideas in this regard.
Thanks for reading! (Also if you spot any mistakes in my english I would appreciate to hear about them in my private talks :) )

Pastor Gilbert Jules and his wife Legette serve the Lord in the counry of Haiti.
It is estimated that 80% of citizens are Roman Catholic. Most of the remainder belong to a variety of Protestant demoninations. While the Constitution provides for freedom of religion there are many obstacles to overcome in their work. One of those obstacles is Voodoo, a traditional religion, which is practiced alongside Christianity by a large segment of the population. The government has officially recognized Voodoo as a religion, but it continues to be frowned upon by elite conservative Catholics and Protestants.
SCHOOL OPENING -Update from Pastor Gilbert
September 4th is the opening day for Haiti Schools. It was a big challenge to open a school in the Belanger area the first day. When I made the statement, many people laughed and made fun at me because that never happened. We had several parents meetings, last one was yesterday. Finally, we opened school this morning with 42 students and 6 teachers. It is a miracle.
We had opportunities to separate 4 classrooms and built a fence with wires and even a gate with roofing material to secure the children some. The children came to school with no uniforms, some with no shoes. We went to the market and bought 10 shirts, 3 pants, and 3 skirts to help out. From time to time we will buy more.
We really need the sponsorship program going so we can support the children there. It is one of the poorest neighborhoods I have ever worked.

That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death…(Philippians 3:10)
What a beautiful and rich desire Paul had and what a powerful indicator this verse is, of where our lives as believers ought to be headed.
There's two aspects of this verse that I would like to write about and I'll do it as a two- part series. Firstly, 'The Power of His Resurrection' and secondly, 'The Fellowship of His Suffering'.
The Power of His Resurrection
More and more in reality and experience, not just in theory and head-knowledge, I am seeing that this Christ we love and serve, truly is a risen Christ. I'll say it again…He's a risen Christ! That's everything! That means, He died and He rose from the dead. (How can we even comprehend such an event unless the Holy Spirit opens our eyes to this reality?! It is too mighty for us).
Incredibly though, there is something even greater about Christ than this. His being risen from the dead is one thing. An astounding thing. An incompressible thing unless the Spirit enables us to believe. But we have read accounts throughout scripture and even in modern day times, where people have been raised from the dead. So we accept that God can and does raise people from the dead, to His own glory. However, even those who have been raised from the dead, whether in scripture times or present times, still eventually die. But not so with Christ!
Christ is beyond risen, He is living right now and forevermore!
I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades. (Revelation 1:18).
Jesus said to Martha;
"I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die;(John 11:25)
So there is much more than the miracle of people being raised from the dead on the earth only to one day again die and await the final resurrection with all God's children. There is much more to Christ having been raised from the dead. Christ remains and lives forever as a resurrected one, as no other before or after Him (until all who belong to Him are resurrected in that final day). There is now, in Him, a resurrection life to live by, for all who are in Christ, right now!
But what did Paul mean when he said he wanted to know the power of His resurrection life? How can we know this power?
I suppose the obvious answer is the precursor to this phrase in what Paul said in Philippians 3:18 and that is to 'know Him', to 'know Christ'. It seems that to truly 'know' Christ enables us to know the power of His resurrection life. To know this power of Christ's resurrection life, is to know and partake of all the abundance of Christ which through His death and resurrection has been made available to us right here and now. But without knowing Him, how can we partake?
Christ's resurrection life is a type of life. It's a quality and type of life that is not of this world. It is a life that has overcome death. It is a life by His Spirit. It is not just 'a' life, it is HIS life. It is in fact, Christ Himself! Paul, like us, wanted to know the 'power' of Christ's resurrection life. That means that His resurrection life is one of power, doesn't it?
Do you feel like a Christian who lives with power? What power are we talking about, then? We're not talking about power to live out our own will, lives, passions, desires, wants. We're not talking about a power to serve ourselves. No, we're talking about Christ's life! We're talking about the power to live out HIS life here on earth! It's His Life, by His power.
So how do we do this? How do we partake and appropriate His resurrection life in all its power that has been made available to us?
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us
in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. … (Ephesians 1:3)
As fellow-blogger Cheryl McGrath (Bread for the Bride) so beautifully describes, this 'heavenly realm' mentioned here in Ephesians 1 is not a physical locality, but a realm in which we as believers now live, in Christ. We are not waiting to die and go to heaven to then have every spiritual blessing! We have every spiritual blessing in Christ and Christ is now! He is the Living One, and we are in Him.
Milt Rodriguez (The Rebuilders) once described this partaking of Christ's resurrection life as like taking food from a fridge. When we need something to eat or drink, we who live in first world countries, go to our fridge and open the door and take from the shelf. We don't look at the fridge and wish and hope and pray that the food that is inside the fridge will suddenly become ours. We open the fridge door and we reach in our hand and we 'take' what is available.
This is like Jesus. Christ's resurrection life is readily available to us. And just like opening the fridge door and taking what is there for ourselves, we, by faith, take what is already available to us in Christ. This is called partaking of His life and this is called appropriating what we know to be true.
It is an act of faith to live by HIS resurrection life.
How does this play out practically, you might ask? Well, I'd like to share an experience I had recently that has really encouraged me in this practise of appropriating (putting action to) my faith in this way.
I'm not a person who loves confrontation, in fact I tend to shy away from it unless I feel very passionate about the situation and then I'm bold to go right in, though often with shaking hands and quivering voice. I recognise however, that over the years, I have mostly confronted situations…people really…out of my own strength. I've done it out of my own set of values or preferences or sense of right and wrong. I know when I've acted on my own volition, or out of my own soul-life and not led by the Spirit of Christ within me, because I'm left with guilt or pride, no peace and generally the situation has only worsened.
Recently, I was presented with a situation where one very dear to me was being verbally attacked by another. Both are Christians. And the one who is very dear to me, well, I've witnessed her life and I believe I know her heart as well as anyone could know another's heart. Things had been pretty dreadful between both parties for a long time but on this latest attack I felt something rise up within me, to speak up and defend her. I had the peace of God to do so and even after the event, that peace remained.
The party who was verbally attacking of-course responded to me and I felt somewhat attacked but it didn't matter. Now, normally, this sort of thing would leave me feeling sick with anxiety and upset. As I was being tempted to focus my thoughts on the dialogue that had gone on between us, and being tempted into imagination and thinking the worst, I remembered the fridge.
I turned to the Lord and held out my arms as a display of embracing all that He is, all that is His abundant supply available to me right now. I declared that in faith, I take Your calmness Lord, I take Your patience, I take Your peace and Your ability to let it go into Your hands. In and of myself, I cannot let it go so I take Your capacity to let it go.
Miracle of miracles. I let go.
Miracle of miracles. I am sitting in the peace that surpasses all understanding, spoken of in Philippians 4:6-8 which reads;
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think on these things.…
I appropriated by faith what I know to be true and I partook of Christ's resurrection life, and it has become power to me. I didn't do it. I couldn't do it. I know what I can do and at the best, I can self analyse and apply some positive self-talk and pray. No, Christ's resurrection life overcame the temptation to indulge in fear, anxiety, upset, judgement and sin. The angst and upset of the situation lost it's power like a bucket with holes in it drains of water.
I believe this has been a lesson 101 for me, in learning to know the power of Christ's resurrection life. This resurrection life of Christ is the power to live by His life. Can I encourage you to turn to the Lord and take for yourself, all that He is for you in every situation, by faith. Draw from His life. This is power for us to live by His life in every situation because He is the Living One. He was dead but now He is alive and lives for ever and ever.

A series of educational videos on the abortion issue.
Volition – full short film HD – A film that demands a radical choice
Volition places its central character, who goes unnamed, in the historical contexts of what the filmmakers clearly believe to be three of the greatest human rights violations in history: the holocaust, slavery, and abortion.
This film explores the hope that lies behind every decision made in the face of adversity; the hope that is buried in the heart of those that look beyond themselves and see something bigger worth fighting for.
Little Button music video
The song "Little Button" was written specifically for the Buttons Project, which is to help people towards healing from abortion. For more information on the Button Project, see the Buttons Project mini-documentary below.

Is your property left unoccupied or unattended during the heating season? Whether you leave for a weekend or for the entire winter, we want to inform you of the need to protect your property from the potential risk of winter damage related to frozen water in the pipes, toilets, sinks, water heaters, etc. This may happen in the event of a malfunctioning furnace or an interruption in the electrical or gas supply. If your dwelling has not been winterized and the water remains turned on, you could sustain substantial damage and require costly repairs.
We recommend that you take the following precautions to help ensure this doesn't happen to your dwelling:
- Install a low temperature warning device to warn you if the temperature level in your dwelling drops to a dangerous level.
- Obtain the services of a caretaker to check on your dwelling regularly for the structural integrity, monitor the building temperature and provide safe driveway access for deliveries, etc.
We want you to be aware of the problems surrounding gas usage associated with seasonal occupancy or intermittent gas usage. Only you can best determine when your building will need gas deliveries. If your delivery type is WILL CALL that means you must initiate the delivery order and we recommend the suggestions mentioned above. If your delivery type is AUTOMATIC DELIVERY, we require your dwelling to have the above-mentioned precautionary systems in place to protect your property. For either type of service during the heating season, it is your responsibility to notify us if your tank percentage has fallen to 30%. You may want to check with your insurance carrier to see if installation of a low temp warning system would quality for a premium reduction.
Out of Gas – If we are informed or discover an out of gas tank, we will deliver to the customer tank, if accessible, under the following circumstances:
- Building access is GAINED – We will do a leak test on the gas system and perform appliance startup procedures.
- Building access is NOT GAINED – We will shut the propane tank gas service valve off stopping the flow of gas and you will need to have a gas system leak test done by a qualified person before appliance start up.
If we find an unsafe gas system, we may not be able to deliver gas into the tank. In such cases, we will attempt to contact you using the contact information you have provided.
We want every customer's property, whether it's your primary residence, cabin, business, or second home, to remain structurally sound and ready to use as you intended it. While following the precautions above may not prevent all potential problems from occurring, they may help minimize the risks associated with unoccupied dwellings. Lakes Gas Go. will not be responsible for damages that may occur due to gas run out.
Please contact your local Lakes Gas office with the best telephone number and email address for you and/or your caretaker in case of an emergency, such as a NO DELIVERY situation due to restricted driveway access.
To Close Gas Supply Valves
To locate the shut off valve; follow the gas line from the ground to the regulator under the hood, then to the valve handle. Turn it clockwise to shut off.
When your Gauge Reads 30% Call Us for a Delivery
Letting your propane tank run empty can be dangerous and expensive. Your gauge is located under the hood of your propane tank. When the gauge reads 30% call Lakes Gas to order your delivery. If you're unable to locate or read the gauge, ask your Lakes Gas Representative for help. Please be aware that the gauge is a mechanical device and can be susceptible to sticking. When checking the gauge, it is a good practice to tap the side of the gauge to see if there is any movement in the needle. If you observe the same reading on the gauge over a period of time when you should be using gas, contact your Lakes Gas office to have it checked as soon as possible. If the gauge isn't moving, you could be in danger of running out of gas.
Low Temperature Monitoring Systems
There are many different types of low temperature monitoring systems available for structures that are occupied on a full time, seasonal, or intermittent basis. These warning systems let you know when the temperature in your structure has fallen below the selected temperature. This allows the property owner to take action before any damage occurs to your home, vacation home, office, or any building.
These are available at most home improvement or building supply stores, or by searching "low temperature monitors" online. You can also visit your local Lakes Gas office to pick up information.

According to the "Interim Review of Gaming Liberalisation for Games of Fortune in Macao: economical, social, livelihood impacts and operating conditions of the concessionaires"– an interim report released on 11th May 2016 – all six of Macao's gaming operators have satisfied their contractual capital commitments.
Commissioned by the office of the Secretariat for Economy and Finance and conducted by the Institute for the Study of Commercial Gaming at the University of Macau, this report will be an important government reference for further improvement of gaming laws, regulations and a regulatory framework.
Over the next seven years, the government must decide how and to whom to grant nearly 2,000 additional gaming tables.
It must also decide whether to renew gaming licenses in 2022 to the six operators who received them between 2002 and 2006. The report's assessments will greatly impact these decisions.
Whether the concessionaires have fulfilled the commitments set forth in their contracts is a necessary pre-condition for attaining government approval to renew these operating licenses. Of the US$32.7 billion (MOP262.31 billion) of investments made by the six operators between 2002 and 2014, Sands China Ltd. was responsible for the most – US$10.8 billion (MOP86.97 billion), amounting to 33 per cent of the total from all six casino operators. Melco Crown Entertainment came in second with US$6.5 billion (MOP52.68 billion), and Galaxy Entertainment Group third with US$6.3 billion (MOP50.91 billion).
The review concludes that the gaming industry's dramatic expansion since 2002 has been both positive and negative for Macao.
During the Portuguese administration, only one company, Sociedade de Jogos de Macau, held a gaming license. After Macao's handover to China in 1999, the Special Administrative Region (SAR) government decided to grant five more licenses, a decision that has since transformed the city.
But it has also made housing more expensive, led to high inflation and higher costs for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), contributed to more gaming-related crime and worsened the quality of life for many.
Gaming revenue in 2015 totaled US$28.75 billion (MOP230 billion), more than 10 times the US$2.7 billion (MOP22.18 billion) in 2002. As of the end of 2015, the number of casinos operating in Macao had reached 36.
In 2006, Macao overtook Las Vegas as the world's leading gaming centre and has since extended its lead. In 2015, the SAR had 30.7 million visitors – a 300 per cent increase from 2002 – largely driven by the gaming industry.
The transformation of the past decade and a half includes the construction of giant casinos, hotels and tourism facilities. The 39-storey Venetian, covering an area of 980,000 square metres, is the largest casino in the world and the biggest single hotel structure in Asia. Its construction required a total investment of US$2.4 billion (MOP19 billion). Projects of this kind have completely changed the city's landscape.
The industry's rapid growth has translated into a correspondingly rapid growth in GDP, increased fiscal reserves, improved social welfare, record foreign investments, increased labour productivity, relatively low unemployment rate and favourable conditions to drive development in other industries, such as hotel, luxury retail, catering, convention and exhibition, as well as performance and entertainment. This expansion has also seen a net increase of nearly 35,000 companies.
The industry's boom has provided lucrative local employment. "The proportion of local employees (of the six operators) of managerial grade or above increased from around 60 per cent in 2008 to 80 per cent in 2014."
The report's analysis of the industry's knock-on effect on the overall economy finds that, between 2003 and 2013, the added value of the hotel industry rose 11.4-fold, wholesale and retail industry 7.4-fold, construction 5.1-fold, banking 3.5-fold and catering 3-fold.
The growth of the gaming industry, however, hasn't been without drawbacks, especially in one of the most densely populated cities in the world covering only 30.4 square metres.
The report identifies a number of issues linked to the industry's advancement, including a persistently high inflation rate, increased stress on the elderly and other demographics, acutely rising and increasingly unaffordable housing prices, hikes in operating costs for SMEs and an increase in gaming-related crimes.
"The economy and employment became too dependent on the gaming industry and challenged traditional values," it adds. The report also identifies cases of all six gaming operators failing to take measures to adequately prevent money laundering and financing terrorists.
In an interview with Macau Business in May, Secretary of Economy and Finance Leong Vai Tac states that, until 2023, the government will permit a maximum of 1,892 additional gaming tables. "The authorisation of tables is a very important measure in the management and supervision of the gaming sector. It is an important stimulus for gaming operators to invest in non-gaming elements."
"We must consider all the factors globally, especially investment in non-gaming areas, the participation of SMEs in these projects, the capability to diversify sources of clients, etc. These are all essential factors for Macao to become a world centre of tourism and leisure."
Speaking on the sidelines of the report's publication, Leong adds that "We cannot depend upon a small number of people, that is, a small number of customers to generate the largest revenue. In the face of international competition, we need to discover new customers, new growth points."
Industry diversification is a major point of research in the review. "Development of the gaming industry has scaled up the added value of its related industries… Non-gaming elements have created a large amount of non-gaming job positions. In 2014, non-gaming employees accounted for 44 per cent of the total number of employees in gaming operators."
The report cites data showing that the cumulative non-gaming elements of the six operators created US$2.9 billion (MOP23.2 billion) of revenue in 2014, a figure comparable with that of Las Vegas. However, it comprises a far smaller percentage of total gaming revenue compared to Las Vegas.
The central and Macao governments have demanded that casino operators diversify their sources of income and clients and also reduce their dependence on gaming and on the mainland market, which last year accounted for more than 60 per cent of all visitors to Macao. This will factor into whether licenses will be extended.
The review also addresses the issue of gaming promoters, locally known as junkets, who handle high rollers and VIPs. A dramatic drop in spending from this demographic accounts for declining overall gaming revenue for the past two years. More than a decade ago, 60–70 per cent of casino gross profit came from VIP rooms. In 2015, this figure dropped to around 54 per cent.
Revenue for May 2016 was US$2.17 billion (MOP17.4 billion), a drop of 9.62 per cent year-on-year and the 24th successive month of decline.
Most analysts believe that this decline in junket revenue is long term, making it an economic as well as a strategic imperative for casinos to focus on the mass market and diversify offerings.
The government, meanwhile, is trying to strengthen supervision of junket operations.
In October 2015, the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau (DICJ) issued a new financial accounting system to all the junkets, but according to the review, of the 183 promoters in Macao, 35 had failed license renewal due to failure to comply with these regulatory requirements.
In February 2016, the DICJ officially launched a review of all promoters' adherence to the new accounting guidelines. So far, the bureau has conducted site visits to over 80 promoters and expects to finish all reviews within six months.
This interim review has stimulated lively debate and given the government much to consider as it plans the next stage in the economy's diversification.

We all know what they say about first impressions. Yes, we're not supposed to judge a book by its covers, but often times we can't help it. Especially, when it comes to people's houses…

Front doors and entry way are one of those features that we tend to notice first when we visit a house. They are often understated and neglected, which is a bummer considering how much hard work they do to protect your home from potential intruders. Not to mention harsh weather conditions!

It's time for a new front door, if…
- Your door won't fully close. If you have to force it to shut, it's time for a change.
- You can see daylight around the door frame. Yet another sign your front door is not doing its job!
- You can tell the weather outside without having to open your door…
- Your door is just plain ugly. Is your entryway the darkest part of your home? Does it feel welcoming? Remember, your entryway is the first impression your guests will have of the house! Make it count!
If all these signs or at least one applies to you, it's time for a new front door. Ferris Home Improvements is here to help you with all your needs. We specialize in doors and roofing.

The world's most beautiful women prove that they're perfectly imperfect
They're the most beautiful women in the world: Miss Universe, Miss USA and Miss Teen USA. But behind the pretty veils of flawless makeup, perfectly done tresses, and those million dollar smiles, they have struggled to accept themselves, as many women do.
"People think that because we're on TV we're perfect, we're flawless," says Nia Sanchez, Miss USA, to Mashable."Everyone wants to put out that front that everything's perfect and everything's perfectly fine. But that's not real life."
Sanchez, who moved around the U.S. in her early years because of her parents' divorce, reveals to Mashable the adversity she's overcome. From living at a women's shelter with her mother, to becoming her younger brother's second mom, the 25-year old faced difficulties from an early age. "It made me grow up really quickly," she says now, poised and confident beyond her years.
"It's kind of sad and makes me emotional talking about it but I remember in the third grade I moved into a new town looking in the mirror and thinking, 'no one wants to be your friend,'" she says.
Sanchez says her advice to her younger self would be to worry less about what people think about her.
Along with Sanchez, Paulina Vega, Miss Universe and Miss Teen USA, K. Lee Graham reflect on what beauty means to them, talk about their upbringings, insecurities, and struggles of self-worth.
Graham, looking at a sunny picture of herself in fourth-grade, tearfully said she wished she could tell her younger self that "she is beautiful and she shouldn't be worrying about what she looks like and how other people think about her. That she is valuable and has a lot to bring to this world more than her weight, or her looks, or her hair."
We asked each of the title holders what advice they'd give to their younger selves if they could. Their advice is powerful. Watch below for the entire video, and check out Miss USA's new winner come July 12 on NBC.

PM Minister Robert Fico along with Deputy Prime Minister Ľubomír Vážny and 13 ministers of the cabinet have arrived at a decision not to answer questions raised by Denník N in protest against cartoons caricaturing PM Fico.
"Cabinet members agreed upon this after the cabinet's session last Wednesday," the Cabinet's Office informed on May 11 as cited by the Sme daily.
According to the cabinet, the daily "informs about the operation of the cabinet in a tendentious way in the long term". Because of this Fico has already refused to answer questions of its reporters at press conferences in the past. Other cabinet members used to answer the questions. Fico does not answer questions from the Sme daily either.
In her response, editor-in-chief of Sme Beata Balogová writes on the website of the daily that the approach chosen by PM Fico contradicts the principle of equality of approach to media and in the end harms the reader and the democratic society.
"I hope that the journalistic community will demonstrate solidarity with reporters of Denník N and will ask the cabinet also questions which it has refused to answer," Balogová wrote.
The decision to ignore Denník N came from the cabinet after last Wednesday the daily published an appendix of stickers with cartoons by Martin "Shooty" Šútovec depicting Fico. One of them shows Fico with a package of money as a burglar shouting "Catch the burglar!" while another one depicts Fico with his head as a letter box with the slogan "I obtained money with my own head".
The Cabinet's Office responded to the stickers last week when it cancelled accreditation of two of Denník N's reporters who were to fly with Fico to Moscow for celebrations of the 70th anniversary of the end of WWII.
"By this activity Denník N joined, in an unprecedented way, opposition political subjects and thus the Slovak Cabinet does not see sense in further communication with it," the Cabinet's Office wrote in its stance as cited by Sme.
Matúš Kostolný, editor-in-chief of Denník N, considers the cabinet's decision to be tragic.
"So far it was only a personal failure of PM Fico, who was afraid of questions of our reporters already for some months," said Kostolný, adding that he perceives it to be peculiar that the cabinet is dealing with stickers.
The question is whether the cabinet by its decision does not violate the law; while the situation recalls moments from the 1990s when the then PM Mečiar banned communication with the SITA newswire, Sme and Markíza TV. It lasted three months at that time.
Tomáš Czwitkovics, media analyst and editor-in-chief of the medialne.sk website dedicated to media, considers the decision to select journalists on the basis of their opinion as unethical even though his stance regarding the cartoons' campaign is reserved, as he thinks that the campaign exceeds ethical journalistic standards of an independent media.
"It is a violation of the principles of freedom of speech and press from the side of constitutional representatives; simultaneously it is a declaration about a conscious violation of the press law," said Czwitkovics.

NEW YORK—Colin Goddard has never really left behind what happened to him at Virginia Tech. Shot four times during the single deadliest shooting massacre in U.S. history at his alma mater, Goddard has somehow managed to harness his pain for the greater good. Now he works as the Assistant Director of Federal Legislation for the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, and is a passionate advocate for better gun control legislation.
"I got involved with this because of what is happening to other people," said Goddard. He joined a large group of gun control advocates at New York's City Hall on June 14, six months after the Sandy Hook shooting. "Here in New York, representatives need to co-sponsor the Background Check Bill, H.R. 1565."
He added that Rep. Michael Grimm, Rep. Chris Gibson and other members of congress representing New York have "no excuse" not to back H.R. 1565. Twenty-one of New York State's congressional representatives co-sponsored the legislation, Grimm and Gibson were among the six that refrained from supporting it.
H.R. 1565, the King-Thompson Background Check Bill, amends the 2007 National Instant Criminal Background Check (NICS) Act to make sure all people who shouldn't be able to buy a firearm are listed in the NICS System, and enhances the current background check process so criminals and the mentally ill cannot buy firearms. It also includes measures to protect Second Amendment rights.
"Learning about our laws in this country alarmed me," said Goddard, who says that his advocacy is a "way to bring some good" from what happened to him and other victims at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. He noted with pride that every injured student went back to Virginia Tech after the shooting and graduated.
These days, the hard part in his advocacy work isn't getting up and speaking in front of crowds; it's hearing about other acts of senseless violence.
"It brings me right back to that day—I want to lock myself in a room," said Goddard on his reaction when he hears about other shootings like Sandy Hook. In the end, he finds the strength to keep working to make things better.
"You get to the point where you try to find a positive place."
Several members of the New York state legislature were also present, including Sen. Daniel Squadron and Rep. Linda Rosenthal.
New York State Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman had a generally positive take on the gun control, although he pointed out there have been 5,000 shooting deaths since Sandy Hook.
"I do believe there is more energy, more will, and more smart strategy," said Schneiderman. "There is a fundamental shift taking place."
Schneiderman noted that despite legislation already in place in New York state is facing challenges, he believes the "New York model for 100 percent gun background checks" will eventually lead the rest of the nation to action.
One of these legal measures, the NYSAFE Act, which was made state law in January 2013, is now facing at least six lawsuits. Schneiderman has no plans of backing down.
The act prevents criminals and the dangerously mentally ill from buying a gun. It does so with a requirement for universal background checks when people try to buy guns. It also has tougher penalties for the use of illegal guns.
Under NYSAFE Act, the murder of a first responder can land the killer in prison for life without parole. It also created the strongest assault weapons ban in the U.S.
"The fight to keep people safe from gun violence is a fundamental right to safety," Schneiderman said.

HP's first birthday came and went nearly two months ago. I never wrote a recap. That is in part due to the inconsistent nature of my blogging, but mostly because it did not feel worthy of a post.
The internet is filled with images of beautiful, creative first birthday
parties. They showcase professionally designed invites, themed
decorations, smash cakes--some even have matching labels for the elaborate spread on the food
When I stumble across such parties my reaction is never to think I should do that! My inner dialogue is more along the lines of That's beautiful! But thank God I am not doing that!
I do not feel like a failure as a mother or human being for not
creating something equally extravagant; I feel relieved that I am not
spending limited my time and money bringing those pins to life.
is not a post to criticize elaborate birthday parties or the people who
create them. Planning and executing those events brings many people joy
and happiness, and I think that is fantastic. I am just not that
person, and do not pretend to be.
With HP's birthday two months in the past, I can state with some certainty that no one will be pinning pictures of the weekend. Its simplicity was both perfect for our family and unsurprising given my past avoidance of planning such events. Case in point: our wedding.
There were no decorations when we got married. Zero. None in the ceremony, none at the reception. There was not a single flower to be found (who needs a bouquet?) and I wore a blue off-the-rack dress I found on sale rather than a traditional white one. At the time, people told me I would look back and regret those choices. They were wrong. When I look back on our wedding day, I think about (1) how happy I am to be married to my husband, (2) how supported we felt by our friends and family, and (3) all of the hours of stress and hundreds of dollars we saved by not investing in the day's aesthetics.
I applied that same "eliminate unnecessary details and stress" approach to HP's birthday. The day before his birthday we had a
small gathering of friends at the park. On the actual day, Henry took off work and we
had a family day of fun--pancakes for breakfast, children's museum in
the morning, swimming in the neighborhood pool in the afternoon, and
more cupcakes after dinner.
Part of my attitude is a result of my personality (see wedding description), but part of it stems from my upbringing. As a child, we never--I repeat, never--had a
birthday party where dozens (or even half a dozen) kids came to our
home. We had a family celebration and were allowed to invite one friend. That
was it. I never felt deprived or jealous of the larger birthday
parties I attended for my friends and classmates. Birthdays were about spending time with family and the
traditions we created. It was the little things--like sitting at the
head of the table and picking the dinner menu. It sounds simple when I
write it out, but it felt special as a child.
And that is what I want to create for HP. Not a big bash with a perfectly executed theme, but yearly rituals and time spent together as a family celebrating him.
No Pinterest-worthy events here. And that is just fine by me.

Richa Chadha wore Ridhi Mehra croptop and a long white skirt with a hint of red and black by Veda Raheja, from Cruise Resort 2015 collection. She wore it at the opening of cinemalounge night club in South Delhi.
She tied her hair in a ponytail, kept a simple makeup- dark eyes and nude lip color. For accessories, she wore simple ear studs. She finished the look with black shoes. A simple and neat look and we cannot find any fault with it. She nailed it.

Germany's foreign intelligence agency has been spying on Turkey for nearly four decades, Focus magazine said on Aug. 23 in a report which could raise tensions further between the NATO allies.
The details about the duration of possible surveillance and on the decision-making surrounding it go further than first reports earlier this week.
Turkey summoned Germany's ambassador in Ankara on Aug. 18 after media reports that Berlin had identified Ankara as a top target of surveillance in a government document from 2009 and had been spying on Turkey for years.
Focus magazine said the BND intelligence agency had been spying on Turkey since 1976 and that German government under the then Social Democrat chancellor Helmut Schmidt had expressly approved the step.
The magazine also cited government sources as saying the BND's current mandate to monitor Turkish political and state institutions had been agreed by a government working group. That included representatives of the chancellor's office, the defense, foreign and economy ministries.
A spokesman for the German government declined to comment on the report.
The report is a further embarrassment for Angela Merkel's government which faces accusations of hypocrisy because of its outrage over allegations of widespread surveillance by the United States on Germans, including the tapping of the chancellor's phone.
However, conservative lawmaker Hans-Peter Uhl told Focus there were "good reasons" for the BND to bug Turkey. He cited human trafficking, drugs and terrorism as issues of concern and his comments chime with the views of many German politicians.
"We need to know what is coming to us from EU-applicant Turkey," Focus quoted him as saying.
Germany is Turkey's largest trading partner in the European Union and home to at least 3 million Turks. But relations are not always smooth. Merkel's conservatives are skeptical about Turkish EU membership.
In response to media reports about U.S. spying in Germany, Merkel has said spying among friends is "not at all acceptable".
In a public spat which chilled relations between Berlin and Washington, Germany told the top U.S. spy in Germany to leave earlier this year after a double agent at the BND was unearthed.
Der Spiegel magazine reported that the BND has also targeted Albania, another member of NATO, for surveillance.

Tax authorities have determined that the founder of major music production firm Being Inc. and some 30 group companies failed to declare about ¥2 billion in taxable income for five years through 2012, sources said Tuesday.
Of the amount, ¥1 billion was reportedly concealed by the founder, Daiko Nagato, 65, and the group firms of Being, which has contracts with popular acts, including B'z. Taking into account losses incurred by the group during the five-year period, tax offices told them to pay slightly more than ¥200 million in back taxes.
A Being official said the firm did not fully agree with the tax authorities' judgment but paid the back taxes as instructed anyway
The agency listed expenses associated with the training of singers as costs, but tax authorities viewed such spending to be higher than normal, while finding some of the money had been paid to talent management agencies to which the singers belonged.
Tax authorities also found that a real estate company affiliated with Being let its artists and executives live in condominiums in Tokyo and Osaka free of charge while reporting the properties as vacant. Tax authorities said the unpaid rent should be recognized as taxable salary.

I read somewhere that the internet is destroying the tradition of trail names. That is, they used to be given to you on the trail, based on some quirk or personal trait that others observed. Volia, you had a trail name. Now, people arrive on the AT with their own self-chosen names, which they've usually adopted on forums like this before setting out.
Anyone care to comment on this?

The stars of The Master, the new movie that is not about Scientology but may actually be about Scientology, were not very forthcoming about the film's possible religious inspiration.
Amy Adams, when asked if she researched the religion for her role in the film, said, "No, I actually read Dianetics a long time ago because my mother had the book lying around the house" before saying, "I am not talking anymore about Scientology."
Ms. Adams talked to the Observer Tuesday night at the Ziegfeld Theatre screening of The Master, which Paul Thomas Anderson wrote and directed. Mr. Anderson was originally scheduled to be at the New York premiere organized by the Weinstein Company but was absent on the red carpet.
The film, which focuses on the relationship between a returning World War II sailor (Joaquin Phoenix) and a charming cult leader (Phillip Seymour Hoffman), swept the Venice Film Festival awards and has generated extra buzz due to its similarities with the beginnings of Scientology.
Madisen Beaty, who plays Mr. Phoenix's love interest in the film, was mum on all topics alternative religion, though not shy in her appreciation for Fashion Week.
At least one red carpet walker who was not involved with the film shared his thoughts on film's storyline analogy. Thomas Matthews, the Kennedy-dating son of MSNBC host Chris Matthews and actor on HBO's The Newsroom had read the L. Ron Hubbard's introduction to the religion and said "I think there was a lot of really good stuff about positive attitude, about presenting yourself to other people." When asked about Scientologists in Hollywood Mr. Matthews said, "… I don't know who is and isn't. I love Elizabeth Moss though. I think she's great in Mad Men."

It seems to be a favorite Vid on 2nd KKT AMV Contest ( I Hope )
Nobody knows who or what will stay behind him yesterday!!!!
(just my thoughts)
Like it...... or don't like it......
I just want to show you my opinion about what is WORLD about....
I must've dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
They're moving into the street
Now did you read the news today
They say the danger's gone away
But I can see the fire's still alight
They're burning into the night
*There's too many men, too many people
Making too many problems
*And not much love to go around
Can't you see this is the land of confusion
This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in
Oh Superman where are you now
Everything's gone wrong somehow
The men of steel, men of power
Are losing control by the hour
This is the time, this is the place
So we look for the future
*But there's not much love to go around
Tell me why this is the land of confusion
*This is the world we live in
*And these are the hands we're given
*Use them and let's start trying
*To make it a place worth living in
I remember long ago
Oh when the sun was shining
And the stars were bright all through the night
And the sound of your laughter as I held you tight
So long ago
I won't be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
We're not just making promises
That we know we'll never keep
*Too many men, there's too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go round
Can't you see this is the land of confusion
This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Stand up and let's start showing
Just where our lives are going to
