The Tips Guru > Inspiration > Revenge – do you really want revenge?
If we are hurt by someone and we retaliate by hurting that person in return, it doesn’t do us any good and it surely doesn’t do them any good either. We think that by taking our revenge, it might become easier for us to move on in life. But, in reality, we just keep dwelling on that topic and it leads us to an even bigger sense of sadness than what we’d usually expect.
Often the major reason why we even think to take revenge is that we don’t want to lose face. It is a very serious thing for some people. We try to avenge thinking it might get us the love and respect that we lost through the journey of hatred. We become less forgiving and that takes us from being an innocent, hurt person to an almost cruel one.
We might think that revenging will bring us back everything that we have lost, but we forget to take into consideration the feeling that follows it – the guilt, the shame, and the sadness.
However, it is very important to realize that hurting someone the same way that we got hurt, is not going to get us anywhere in life. Forgiving them, might. That is why, it is necessary that people realize that revenge should not be questioned of whether it is good or bad. Because it can never be good. We think it will bring us closure, but it might not. Even if it does, it brings the closure at a price – the price of our self-dignity and the goodness that we had inside of us.
If we learn to forgive people instead of hurting them back in return, we will not only help ourselves in being happy, but we may also be able to teach that person a lesson in forgiving and letting go. We can simply make this world an inch better place by forgiving the people that have hurt us.
It is natural to be angry, to be sad and to be hurt, but we should only try to get even with that person if it is going to make us feel better for the rest of our lives, which in most cases is not possible. Taking revenge may seem like the only option, but in reality it is just the easier option. Hence, most people tend to take it.
Forgiving someone is difficult, but once we do it, we can see how that makes us a better person and as Oscar Wilde once quoted, ‘Always forgive your ermines, nothing annoys them so much.

Debate is a method of formally presenting an argument in a structured manner.Through logical consistency, factual accuracy and some degree of emotional appeal to the audience are elements in debating, where one side often prevails over the other party by presenting a superior “context” and/or framework of the issue. The outcome of a debate may depend upon consensus or some formal way of reaching a resolution, rather than the objective facts.In a formal debating contest, there are rules for participants to discuss and decide on differences, within a framework defining how they will interact.
Teachers often use the debate to effectively increase student involvement and participation during tutorial/seminar sessions, especially within the Humanities and Social Sciences and selectively within the Sciences. When a teacher uses the debate as a framework for learning, s/he hopes to get students to conduct comprehensive research into the topic, gather supporting evidence, engage in collaborative learning, delegate tasks, improve communication skills, and develop leadership and team-skills—all at one go.
Debaters become better critical thinkers and communicators. People begin to see them in a different way.
Debaters improve their social interactions. Debaters are not argumentative with their family and friends, but oddly enough, more understanding.
Debaters improve their personal expression. There seems to be something in us as human beings which wants to express ourselves. Their voices are heard.
Debaters are more often seen as leaders. Studies in America show that those who communicate often and well, and give a balance of positive and negative comments, are seen as leaders. Leadership is given, not taken. Debaters are more likely to be given leadership.
Debaters tend to become citizens in the real sense of the word — informed, active, participating, a force to be harnessed for the betterment of all.
N.B.:- Children who are good in constructive debates have a higher potential to reach their goals.

The SNP's internal feud reached new depths of bitterness last night when party leader Alex Salmond was told by treasurer Ian Blackford to apologise for criticisms made last week or face being sued for defamation.
As moves continued to oust Mr Blackford, the party was also preparing disciplinary action against one of his closest allies, Ms Margo MacDonald, who faces accusations of breaking internal rules by publicly challenging a parliamentary group decision.
Ms MacDonald, a critic of Mr Salmond's leadership style, will be dealt with on Thursday at a meeting which her supporters claim could mark the start of a campaign to have her deselected.
Nationalist spokesmen desperately sought to play down the effects of the furious row which erupted between Mr Salmond and Mr Blackford last week over reports that the SNP was in deep financial trouble.
Press officer Kevin Pringle refused to give details of the behind-the-scenes leadership attack on Mr Blackford at the weekend party executive meeting which passed a motion of no confidence in him by 18 votes to three.
SNP rules allow the executive to admonish, suspend or expel a member - which some observers think could be the leadership's next move if Mr Blackford stays put.
Party insiders have pointed privately to Mr Blackford as the source of recent stories about the SNP's financial state. Mr Blackford has hotly denied any wrongdoing. The cause of the row is Mr Blackford's reputedly hard line as treasurer in drawing up tough housekeeping rules for the party which is in debt.
He is thought privately to believe Mr Salmond and former chief executive Michael Russell, together spent irresponsibly during the Scottish Parliament elections and then left him to clear up the financial mess. Mr Blackford has repeatedly said that as a prominent and wealthy banker in Edinburgh he must ensure his conduct is above reproach because his professional reputation is on the line.
The latest dispute between the leader and treasurer involves the extent of the party's overdraft and the effectiveness of Mr Blackford's efforts to have it cleared before the General Election.
He and Mr Salmond were involved in an acrimonious dispute last summer after The Herald revealed that Stagecoach millionaire Brian Souter had made a major contribution - said to be about #200,000 - to the SNP but had not been named as the source. Rules at the time did not require the identity of major donors to be revealed but parties had agreed to abide by the spirit of the new procedures.
Mr Blackford irritated Mr Salmond, who claimed the SNP had behaved perfectly properly, with his insistence that there must be no ''jiggery pokery''.
Relations between the two men have never recovered and hit a new low last week with newspaper claims that the SNP was broke and had been forced to sell its Edinburgh HQ to help pay off an overdraft believed to be #400,000.
In fact, the SNP had planned long ago to sell its offices. The party is believed to have struck an agreement on the sale last week and it must now find a new headquarters.
Proceeds from the sale are not expected to be used in clearing the overdraft which deputy party leader John Swinney predicted last month would be paid off around the end of this year and which was about #600,000 at its worst.
Mr Blackford, who is reputedly wealthy, told Radio Clyde that when he was involved in talks with his bank about personally helping the SNP out of its financial difficulty, Mr Salmond was encouraging former party leader Willie Wolfe to run against him as treasurer. Mr Wolfe subsequently withdrew. ''I don't need lessons from Alex Salmond on integrity or trust,'' Mr Blackford said.
The SNP would not confirm a report that Mr Salmond accused Mr Blackford of incompetence and of destabilising the party and had appeared to blame him for the overspend.
He rejected suggestions that he and allies like Ms MacDonald were being purged as an offensive against dissidents. ''I don't believe in conspiracy theories,'' he said.
Mr Blackford pointed out that his treasurer's report to the national council last month had been accepted without questioning.
Ms MacDonald incurred the wrath of the leadership when she complained publicly about the parliamentary party's refusal to set aside SNP debating time in the chamber for her ideas for exploring the use of cannabis, particularly as an aid to those suffering pain. She accused some of her colleagues of ''reneging'' on the issue.
between the leader and treasurer.
Labour revelled in the SNP disarray. Scotland Office Minister Brian Wilson said: ''Alex Salmond's control freak tendencies have finally come home to roost. Having ousted the party treasurer in the night of the long sgian dubhs he has now turned his sights on the independence-minded Margo MacDonald.

December 7, 2016, New York City, NY – The five nominees for the Cinema Eye Honors Heterodox Award were announced today, honoring films that actively blur the line between narrative fiction and documentary. For the first time in Cinema Eye history, two films that are nominated for Cinema Eye’s nonfiction film craft honors are also nominated for the Heterodox Award.
In nonfiction nominations announced last month in Brooklyn, All These Sleepless Nights was nominated for Outstanding Cinematography and Outstanding Original Score and Kate Plays Christine was nominated for Outstanding Direction. Both films debuted in the Documentary Competition at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival, and critics and audiences have debated the films’ place on the fiction/nonfiction line ever since.
The other three nominees continue the celebration of international cinema that the Heterodox award is known for. The Fits and Neon Bull debuted at the 2015 Venice International Film Festival, Mountains May Depart celebrated its World Premiere at Cannes that same year.
This marks the seventh year for the Heterodox Award at Cinema Eye. Previous winners of the award are Matt Porterfield’s Putty Hill (2011), Mike Mills’ Beginners (2012), Jem Cohen’s Museum Hours (2013), Carlos Reygados’s Post Tenebras Lux (2014), Richard Linklater’s Boyhood (2015) and Jafar Panahi’s Taxi (2016).
With the announcement of this year’s Heterodox nominees, all of this year’s Cinema Eye nominated films and filmmakers have been revealed. The recipient of this year’s Legacy Award will be announced in the coming weeks.
Ten finalists for the Heterodox Award were selected in voting by the Cinema Eye Honors Nominations Committee, made up of more than 25 international programmers who specialize in nonfiction film. The ten finalists were then viewed and five nominees were selected by a second round committee, composed of 8 nonfiction programmers and journalists. The second round included Scott Macaulay (Editor in Chief, Filmmaker Magazine), Hadrian Belove (Executive Director, Cinefamily), Eric Hynes (Associate Curator of Film, Museum of the Moving Image), Doug Jones (Executive Director, Images Cinema), Mads Mikkelsen (Programmer, CPH:DOX), Dan Nuxoll (Program Director, Rooftop Films), Rachael Rakes (Film Critic, Brooklyn Rails) and Alison Willmore (Film Critic, Buzzfeed).
The Honors Ceremony is the centerpiece of Cinema Eye Week, a multi-day, multi-city celebration that acknowledges the best work in nonfiction film through screenings and events. The final four days of Cinema Eye Week take place in New York City, where a series of celebratory events brought together many of the year’s most accomplished filmmakers. This year’s dates are January 8-11, with awards presented at the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens on January 11, 2017.
Nonfiction film nominations for the 10th Annual Cinema Eye Honors were announced last month at the Alamo Drafthouse in Brooklyn. A full list of nominees can be found on the Cinema Eye Honors website: www.cinemaeyehonors.com.

Thanks for the reply @v_kyr, that did the job. I didn't think to check for any fixes in the beta. But that is exactly what was missing from the grid manager, and the isometric studio also is a nice addition. Although I don't know why they didn't just call it axonometric studio. I know isometric is the most popular form of axonometric projection but still.
This formula does seem to solve the alignment of 2 of the 3 planes, but the downside is that the grid isn't uniform anymore, making it impossible to make proportional cubes for example. I don't know if this is possible but it seems to me that the solution is to shift the plane consisting of the first and up axis and the plane consisting of the second and up axis down or up to align with the plane consisting of the first and second axis. I would really like to have other grid types be able to have aligned plane sets, just as the isometric grid type does.

I am in Myrtle Beach this week taking a much-needed vacation. We've been planning this trip for months! I haven't been to the beach in four years and Reed has never been. So we planned and plotted and saved, and now the week is here!
I tried taking my worries and cares to my husband, who shook his head and laughed. "Rebekah. Reed digs holes in the mud, finds worms, eats grass, hunts turkeys, and swims like a fish. He's going to love the beach. You can't worry about everything people say." I knew he was right, but STILL! I want to worry! What about all the what ifs?!
Nevertheless, we endured 625 miles, 10 hours, 6 stops, 2 traffic jams, 2 bags of animal crackers, and countless Veggie Tales episodes and made it to North Myrtle beach. When Reed looked out of the window of the car and saw the beach, he said in soft, perplexed amazement, "That's a lotta sand out there, Mommy". Later, as we walked out for the first time, I held my breath as he stepped onto the beach, picked up two handfuls of sand, rubbed it all over his chest and belly, and smiled.
Later that night, I took him down to the beach again, this time in actual swim trunks. He spent 45 minutes running in and out of the waves laughing and yelling, "Mommy! Mommy!" He felt the sand in his hands. He rolled in the waves. He licked the salt water. He dug a hole and watched it fill back up. He brought me 13 shells. And I watched in wonder and complete joy. I don't think I have ever in my life seen someone experience a moment so fully.
Mightier than the thunder of the great waters, mightier than the breakers of the sea-- the LORD on high is mighty.
I wasn't sure how having a child would change that. After all, my husband is back in Ohio, and even though I am here with my parents and sister's family, I am really busy making memories with TLO. But watching him experience the ocean for the first time kind of made me feel... convicted. I mean, this two year old showed more love for life, God's creation, and simple pleasures in that one moment than I had during the entire trip! Reed radiated with love and joy as he took in everything about the ocean. As I watched him play, I thought about recent events where I chose not to enjoy my life but instead worry, complain, or gossip.
I thought about worrying about saving money the months before the trip. And shark attacks.
I thought about all of the times I complained when the family plans didn't go exactly, perfectly right or MY way.
Yikes. Ok, Lord. I think I've had a revelation on this verse. I hear You say that You want me to enjoy this life, trust my Father, and love and appreciate every simple moment. I understand that You want me to take it slow. I will run my fingers through the sand. I will roll in the waves of this life and taste and see that You are good (Psalm 34:8). Yeah, sometimes I might get salt water on my face, but I'll laugh (Proverbs 31:25), get up, and enjoy this life anyway. My time here was not meant to be spent worrying about the sounds of the unknown, complaining about the rough texture of unpleasant situations, or focusing on the bitter, salty taste of trials. This wonderful life that our loving Father has created is meant to be reveled in, enjoyed completely, and filled with expressions of gratitude, joy, love, and amazement.
So that's my reaction to Reed's first beach experience! It is definitely not what I expected, and certainly much more meaningful. I am so excited for what the rest of the week will bring. Fingers crossed for no sunburns! Uh oh, I'm worrying again! I'll keep ya updated!

Quite frankly, thoughts and prayers can only go so far. They have limited ability to protect our families. The time has come for our elected leaders – including President Barack Obama – to stand up and fight for our families and children, and their safety.
But the American people support stronger gun safety measures more than he believes or cares to say. Polls now demonstrate this to be true.
When our children are being shot at and killed in their schools, or movie theaters, we have to take meaningful action. These tragedies are too frequent, and are, as the president said, heartbreaking.
We need to talk about gun laws. We need an open and honest debate about the tragedies happening in our communities, one after another. There are common-sense laws that can help prevent these tragedies, and Americans support them.
The “Fix Gun Checks Act,” if passed, would make it tougher for the mentally ill to legally buy guns by strengthening background checks so people like James Holmes (the Aurora shooter) can’t acquire guns. Ninety percent of Americans want to fix gaps in government databases that allow the mentally ill or drug users from buying guns. Even gun owners support the laws.
Eighty-two percent of gun owners (National Rifle Association and non-NRA members) believe that a criminal background check should be required for anyone purchasing a gun, according to data released by Republican pollster Frank Luntz for Mayors Against Illegal Guns earlier this year, 76 percent of gun owners support prohibiting people on the terrorist watch list from buying guns, 80 percent support mandatory gun safety training for anyone applying for a concealed permit, and 78 percent of gun owners believe that concealed permits should only be granted to applicants who have not committed violent misdemeanors.
The NRA, which fights against all this, is out of touch — even with its own membership. Its power to dictate this debate has to be challenged.
The data on assault weapons is just as telling. The man identified Friday as the gunman, Adam Lanza was armed with semiautomatic pistols and a semiautomatic rifle and the killers in Aurora and Portland both used an AR-15 semi-automatic assault rifle. Sixty-three percent of Americans said they favor a nationwide ban on assault weapons, according to a 2011 CBS/New York Times poll, and 63 percent favored banning high-capacity magazines that hold many rounds of ammunition.
We found, in a 2011 survey we conducted for the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, that 57 percent of Americans support a law that would limit the size of ammunition clips so that the gun could not fire more than 10 bullets without having to be reloaded. Only a third, or 34 percent, of Americans opposed that law.
The Brady Bill, which expired under President George W. Bush, and that Obama said he supported, regulated these kinds of assault weapons (AR-15). Those guns are now unregulated and the result is tragedy after tragedy that won’t end until elected leaders step up.
Support for sounder, safer gun laws is not restricted to blue states or big urban cities. In a study conducted by Lake Research Partners earlier this year in swing state-senate districts in Virginia, we found that two-thirds of voters (65 percent) in a rural western Virginia district believe the gun laws should be made stronger — including 52 percent who strongly believe so. Just 24 percent say they should be less restrictive.
Ninety-two percent of voters in a state senate district centered in Roanoke, Virginia, strongly endorsed requiring background checks for people purchasing guns and permits for people who want to carry a concealed loaded weapon.
The NRA and those who oppose gun safety measures should welcome a gun-control debate — especially if they think they have the winning hand.
The consistent lack of leadership on this issue is stunning. But what is most unnerving is that it does not have to be this way – the American people support common sense gun laws.
Others have said, even on Friday, that now is not the time to discuss more gun laws. They said this same thing after Aurora, after Portland, and now after Newtown. They are trying to silence the millions of Americans who want stronger protections from gun violence in their communities.
These silencers, led by the NRA, continue to use the 2011 Gallup poll, which we have already explained is problematic, to shut down the debate about new gun laws that will make us safer. That poll said that 43 percent of Americans support stricter gun laws, a 6 percentage point drop from 2008.
But as the numbers we have cited here show, this single Gallup question is too shallow to really tell the story of what Americans think about gun safety measures.
Now is the time to have a discussion about gun laws that will make our communities and families safer. The American people are ready.
Obama showed great courage earlier this year when he stood up for the right of gay and lesbian couples to marry. His courage and leadership is needed here too. These tragedies will happen again and again until our leaders stand up and pass meaningful gun-safety laws that the American public supports.
No, the public doesn’t agree.
The majority of Americans support the constitutional right to keep and bear arms. This is a fact.
The public does not agree. The only reason there were so many deaths is because the federal ban on firearms within 100feet of a school does not permit a responsible citizen from carrying a firearm. Otherwise someone would have dropped this Perp in his tracks. The police and your gov’t can’t be everywhere and make you safe. Grow up and start taking responsibility for your own security. This article represents the psychology of the victim.
The Republicans need any and all fringe groups to make up for the fact that they represent a small percentage of the electorate.
Their greatest fear is that people will figure them out.
Which public is this that you speak of? The 26% as usual? Stop using tragedy to push your BS agendas.
Almost every Swiss man has an assault rifle and its ammunition, at home, as part of his obligation to do military service. Yet killings using these rifles are extremely rare. Why?
The two writers of this “opinion piece” (you noted, I didn’t call it news, nor refer to the authors as journalists), have managed to present about as much political drivel and spin as I’ve ever seen, in one single story. The vast majority of the article is composed of opinion, half truths, and highly targeted, and vague opinion “polls”. PULEEZE, can we get some real journalism here?
A species that eats its young or fails to protect them becomes extinct. Think about it.
@saildog07. You are clearly remarkably ignorant of what the US is, what we face as a people and what “inalienable rights” means.
I think we should ban meth and heroin, that would keep it off the streets and, keep people from doing it.
The Colordao theater killer chose the only movie theater within 20 miles that had a ban on concealed weapons. You want the only people in the world to have guns to be governments and criminals? a naive concept.
This guy was insane – lets address the problems with mental illness and get some security at schools for God’s sake.
For the first time in my life, I am thinking about buying a gun.
The only places where these mass shootings have happened are where guns are not allowed. (Schools, churches, government buildings) These people maybe mentally ill but they still know enough to do this in places where someone can’t shoot back at them. Anyplace that does not allow legal gun owners to carry a firearm should be required to have an armed guard 24/7. Even then the armed guard won’t be in the right place at the right time. I would feel much safer sending my kids to the school in Texas with the Guardian program where some of the teachers are licensed to carry firearms. Outlaw firearms and only criminals will have them.
This is not what the public wants. This is what the liberals want for the public.
I believe in gun control. I control mine very well. How about controlling the pez dispensing of mind altering, psychosis enducing drugs you’re giving people. Even dispensing these harmful drugs to young adults!
In the Supreme Court case, Castle Rock v. Gonzales, 545 U.S. 748 (2005), the court ruled that our local police are not responsible for protecting us. SOOOOOO, who IS responsible for protecting us? We are responsible. That’s why I responsibly conceal carry. I protect my wife and 2 small children. When more responsible people carry, violent crime goes down. The FBI crime statistics don’t lie. Why do the left and gun grabbing crowd ignore this fact? Liberalism is a mental disorder.
Lets look one poll that this particular article is using for it’s numbers.
The poll used 2 Senate Districts in the State of VA. District 21 and District 38.
with the total numbers of respondents being 305 voters in District 21 and 302 voters in district 38.
That’s a fairly small sample size considering Roanoke VA (part of district 21) has a population of 92,376 (2010 numbers) but polls being what they are they can’t call every registered voter.
So they are making a statement for the entire state of Virginia with a population of 8 million give or take from the words of 607 people. Now not all of the 8 million are old enough to vote or even care enough to vote. But the statement that such a small group of people are the norm for a much larger population is suspicious.
Lets now look at the generator of the poll and the authors of this piece. Lake Research here is a snippet from their web site.
Nothing unusual there, next check their “outstanding clients” I did not check all of them but the ones I did check are Democrats with a history of voting for more firearms laws or outright bans.
So going down to the list of causes that they have worked for I see several that catch my eye, The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, MoveOn.org, Coalition to Stop Gun Violence. So I think it is safe to say that this is a group that is defiantly not non-bias. Nothing wrong with that, but I would not trust this group to give me honest results any more than I would a Republican think tank on gay marriage.
So as to the title of this opinion piece states “Public agrees” there is not enough data in their source material to even make that assumption let alone any reason to believe that the authors are trying to give anything but their own viewpoints legitimacy.
I think the founding fathers would have had a different opinion if they realized that modern “constitutionalists” were defending the right of 14 year old drug dealers to carry semiautomatic weapons or mentally deranged people to spray bullets into elementary school classrooms. The one part that is frequently lacking in these types of discussions is any realistic alternate solution or approach for stemming the regular occurrence of these types of events. Arming guards at the entrances to all schools? Really? Is that really the statement of our times? Ok, so we are the most heavily armed society in the world and we kill more fellow Americans every year than the combined total of the Gulf War, the Twin Towers assault, the Iraq war and the War on Terror in Afghanistan. Every year. Are there any serious suggestions of how to begin to address these murders?
A gun is an inanimate tool not deviant behavior and crime is deviant behavior not an inanimate tool.
You can’t prevent deviant behavior by regulating tools because tools are incapable of behavior and the number of tools available to the world’s deviants is endless.
Even if you could legislate guns out of existence, deviants could, would and have used other things that gave them a power advantage over their victims—knives, clubs, rocks or even sharp sticks—all of which are very legal and very accessible.

quite frankly, thoughts and prayers can only go so far. they have limited ability to protect our families. the time has come for our elected leaders – including president barack obama – to stand up and fight for our families and children, and their safety.
but the american people support stronger gun safety measures more than he believes or cares to say. polls now demonstrate this to be true.
when our children are being shot at and killed in their schools, or movie theaters, we have to take meaningful action. these tragedies are too frequent, and are, as the president said, heartbreaking.
we need to talk about gun laws. we need an open and honest debate about the tragedies happening in our communities, one after another. there are common-sense laws that can help prevent these tragedies, and americans support them.
the “fix gun checks act,” if passed, would make it tougher for the mentally ill to legally buy guns by strengthening background checks so people like james holmes (the aurora shooter) can’t acquire guns. ninety percent of americans want to fix gaps in government databases that allow the mentally ill or drug users from buying guns. even gun owners support the laws.
eighty-two percent of gun owners (national rifle association and non-nra members) believe that a criminal background check should be required for anyone purchasing a gun, according to data released by republican pollster frank luntz for mayors against illegal guns earlier this year, 76 percent of gun owners support prohibiting people on the terrorist watch list from buying guns, 80 percent support mandatory gun safety training for anyone applying for a concealed permit, and 78 percent of gun owners believe that concealed permits should only be granted to applicants who have not committed violent misdemeanors.
the nra, which fights against all this, is out of touch — even with its own membership. its power to dictate this debate has to be challenged.
the data on assault weapons is just as telling. the man identified friday as the gunman, adam lanza was armed with semiautomatic pistols and a semiautomatic rifle and the killers in aurora and portland both used an ar-15 semi-automatic assault rifle. sixty-three percent of americans said they favor a nationwide ban on assault weapons, according to a 2011 cbs/new york times poll, and 63 percent favored banning high-capacity magazines that hold many rounds of ammunition.
we found, in a 2011 survey we conducted for the brady center to prevent gun violence, that 57 percent of americans support a law that would limit the size of ammunition clips so that the gun could not fire more than 10 bullets without having to be reloaded. only a third, or 34 percent, of americans opposed that law.
the brady bill, which expired under president george w. bush, and that obama said he supported, regulated these kinds of assault weapons (ar-15). those guns are now unregulated and the result is tragedy after tragedy that won’t end until elected leaders step up.
support for sounder, safer gun laws is not restricted to blue states or big urban cities. in a study conducted by lake research partners earlier this year in swing state-senate districts in virginia, we found that two-thirds of voters (65 percent) in a rural western virginia district believe the gun laws should be made stronger — including 52 percent who strongly believe so. just 24 percent say they should be less restrictive.
ninety-two percent of voters in a state senate district centered in roanoke, virginia, strongly endorsed requiring background checks for people purchasing guns and permits for people who want to carry a concealed loaded weapon.
the nra and those who oppose gun safety measures should welcome a gun-control debate — especially if they think they have the winning hand.
the consistent lack of leadership on this issue is stunning. but what is most unnerving is that it does not have to be this way – the american people support common sense gun laws.
others have said, even on friday, that now is not the time to discuss more gun laws. they said this same thing after aurora, after portland, and now after newtown. they are trying to silence the millions of americans who want stronger protections from gun violence in their communities.

PHMSA’s responsibility in pipeline construction is assuring that the pipeline will operate safely once it is placed in service. PHMSA has established regulations governing aspects of pipeline design and construction and conducts inspections of pipelines under construction in order to fulfill this responsibility.
Requirements related to pipeline design and construction are in Chapter 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). 49 CFR Part 192 establishes requirements for gas pipelines and 49 CFR Part 195 does so for hazardous liquid pipelines. Design requirements address such issues as the required strength of pipe for certain applications and the design of components that will be attached to the pipeline. Requirements specifically addressing construction issues include how welding must be performed, limitations on pipe bending, installing pipe in the ditch, and the required depth of burial.
PHMSA inspects pipeline construction to assure compliance with these requirements. Inspectors review operator-prepared construction procedures to verify that they conform to regulatory requirements. Inspectors then observe construction activities in the field to assure that they are conducted in accordance with the procedures.
There has been a significant jump in the amount of pipeline under construction in the past few years. PHMSA has responded to this increase by devoting more of its inspector’s time to performing construction inspections. The graph shows the number of inspector-days per year devoted to inspecting pipeline construction.
