Oil Market Assessment - September 12, 2001
Based on
Energy Information Administration (EIA) contacts and trade press reports,
overall U.S. and global oil supplies appear to have been minimally impacted by
yesterday's terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
Rumors of scattered closures of U.S. refineries, pipelines, and
terminals were reported, and Louisiana Offshore Oil Port operations were
partially suspended. While the NYMEX and New York Harbor were temporarily
closed, operations are expected to resume soon. Most, if not all petroleum
industry infrastructure is expected to resume normal operations today or in
the very near term. Prices at all
levels (where markets were open) posted increases yesterday, but many prices
fell today, as initial reactions subside.
This event occurred
against a background of already tight crude oil and product markets in the
U.S. and worldwide. Even prior to
yesterday's events, global oil markets were expected to continue tightening
through December, with WTI rising to the $28 to $29 level as the supply
surplus from earlier this year continues to erode.
Stocks were seen as drawing but remaining high enough relative to last
year that crude prices were likely to remain several dollars lower than the
very high prices seen a year ago. This,
of course, assumes normal weather, a sluggish economy, no Iraqi outages,
rising non-compliance by OPEC 10, and no unusual logistical or refinery
event (such as continued draws, outages, weather, or Mideast tensions) could
act as a catalyst to alert markets to the potential for very tight supplies
this winter, and oil prices could swing upward.
While yesterday's events could serve as such a catalyst, OPEC has
assured us that oil supplies will be maintained. Resuming full U.S. downstream
operations should also help to calm any initial wholesale and retail "kneejerk"
supply and demand fundamentals feature relatively low inventories for crude
oil and petroleum products, and moderate concern over potentially tight
supply/demand conditions during the coming winter.
As of the week ending September 7, EIA data show domestic crude oil
inventories 6% higher than a year ago, but below the seasonal average for
recent years. Distillate
inventories stand 9% above year-ago, and gasoline stocks nearly identical to
last year, but both are near the low end of their seasonal average range.
Relative inventory levels vary by product and region, with crude oil
and distillate stocks in the Midwest (PADD 2) one of the areas of most
concern. Refinery utilization is
reported at 95% of operable capacity.
have been scattered reports of sharply increasing prices at both wholesale and
retail levels for gasoline and diesel fuel.
At present, these appear to be relatively isolated panic reactions due
to buying and/or retailers fears of product outages, and are expected
to subside once it becomes clear that product flows will remain uninterrupted.
the bulk of energy trading operations are located outside of New York
(primarily around Houston), a number of large energy traders, are located in or very near the World Trade Center.
Most Houston-based operations and their off-exchange trading systems
are in operation today. Additionally,
the International Petroleum Exchanges (IPE) contract will serve as the worlds
benchmark, until the NYMEX is operating again.
Access to these important off-exchange markets and the IPE provide a
critical outlet for spot purchase and risk management transactions.

We asked Ken Onion, Hawaiian custom knife maker, designer, inventor and member of the Blade Magazine Hall of Fame, to give us his ideas for a no-nonsense line of sport and work folders. Our goal was to offer great utility and quality in a rugged high-value locking liner folder.
Ken came up with a work knife version featuring an almost indestructible glass filled nylon frame that we call the Shenanigan Z. Even though Ken is known for his assisted opening folders, in this case, the combination of the open-build frame, blade flipper, and lubrous washers and bronze bushings at the pivot allow for fast one hand opening in an exceptional knife. All models feature 3.25" long blades with a classic Ken Onion profile.
There is a modified drop point with a slight recurve and a swedged top edge. The stainless steel liner lock is a strip lock, inset into one handle to save weight. This makes for a knife that is exceptionally strong, lightweight and comfortable.
Shenanigan Z offers our workhorse AUS 8 blade steel in a bead-blast finish, plus a frame of tough, glass filled nylon. This is a rugged, value-priced knife that can be used daily on the job. It is one that will take the worst abuse from impacts, abrasion, and solvents and still look good. The combination of contoured handle, index finger notch and checkered grip pattern make the Shenanigan models very friendly to the hands.
Both models come with a thoughtfully designed custom stainless steel pocket/gear clip with a black corrosion-resistant coating.
Ken Onion isn't playing any tricks here. CRKT is pulling the Shenanigans.

Hello? Hours of entertainment right there! Just look at this one!
I'll need to laugh my way to the end of the world.
Hello? Hours of entertainment right there! Just look at this one!
I strongly believe we'd be very good friends in real life. And having a friend when the world is about to explode is important.
I will need him to sing to me every waking hour in our final days if I'm not going to lose my shit and have a breakdown.
The decision to have a Jack Russell around when time is of the essence should be a given.
A battle of wits to keep the brain sharp and to induce belly laughs should be able to keep the spirits up.
Just look at that smile! No tears with that smile around!
I'd really like it if he and Zooey could not only get married before things fall apart, but if they could also re-enact (500) Days of Summer in those final moments, there will be no need for TV.

Vancouver-based Orato.com used to describe itself as the "only news site in the world dedicated to First Person, citizen-authored journalism".
The citizen journalism site is perhaps best known for assigning two former sex trade workers to cover the trial of Robert Pickton, convicted in December 2007 on six counts of second-degree murder in the deaths of six women whose remains were found on his farm.
The concept behind Orato was to allow people's voices to emerge, with as little editorial interference as possible.
But it has now turned its back on the notion of a site filled with content from "citizen journalists". As part of a major editorial and design overhaul, Orato recognised that:
For the first 3 years of Orato's existence, the previous management intentionally encouraged first-person stories rooted in an intimate and authentic perspective and deliberately offered very few editorial guidelines or oversight when it came to journalistic standards and Web 2.0 approaches to search.
Instead the focus is on "concrete and trustworthy information that is objective and under-reported". The owner and founder of Orato, Sam Yehia, said the changes were made to "further professionalize the site, focus its newsworthy content, create and enforce a viable business model and keep pace with Web 2.0 standards".
New editor-in-chief Joy Joy Gugeler has positioned the site as an outlet for freelance journalists seeking an additional source of income:
We will grow content and traffic to reward correspondents with both pay and profile. They post video, audio, photos and articles live; our editors review the material in 24 hours; readers learn at a glance, and our writers earn from the first ad click. We hope those in search of a value-added training will consider us a vital new client in the freelance marketplace.
This is a significant shift away from Orato's origins as a citizen journalism website to the extent that it can no longer be considered as one.
And it does raise questions about the very viability of the phenomenon of "citizen journalism". Similar sites have experienced problems with quality control.
There is no doubt that having more voices in the news can provide a rounder picture of the world. The problem may lie in the term "citizen journalism".
As CEO of the participatory news network NowPublic.com, Len Brody, likes to say, "telling someone they're going to be a citizen journalist is like telling people they're going to be a citizen dentist."

VIP requirement is High Volume transactions then they allow, not for your Am with 2 dogs. "EE VIP Our AKC VIP program is exclusively for our high volume AKC handlers."
Pro enters all of his Master Dogs and does not pay until "prior to the test" which can be the last day leading up to it. That's a lot of flexibility and helps cash flow ... and allows them to enter all dogs at one time without paying. If you can not see this as an advantage, then ..... in the two TX tests there is one Pro that owes $2200 and all the AMs (4 or 6) paid in advance.

I get your point, just don't think that feature of EE is being used that much to make a difference.
With my trainer, the OWNER enters and pays for the dog to be entered. So there isnt any EE advantage there.

If someone calls EE and scratches prior to the closing date, do they update the website and show that there is an opening?
I think you misunderstand how this works.
I am a VIP member. If I enter my dogs as a VIP, EE needs to receive my check by the day of the event. This does not help cash flow.
If, instead, I enter as non-VIP, I use my credit card, I don't get charged for 30 days. This does help cash flow. Also, if I use my credit card, I earn miles, points, etc.
The upshot is that I don't use the VIP function and nobody I know uses the VIP function. It is more practical to use a credit card like everyone else.

What is the state of thermodynamics on the 100th anniversary of the death of Lord Kelvin?
Mark Haw
One afternoon in 1842, in the town of Walsall in the heart of England's industrial midlands, two young men stood by a canal, watching a lock fill with water. The rising water lifted a barge crammed with valuable trade goods, one small step up on its climb to some unknown industrial destination. The two men mused upon this ingenious use of power, this impressive demonstration of the simple technology underpinning Victorian Britain's industrial dominance.
The two men were brothers. One was James Thomson, a shipbuilder's apprentice later to become Professor of Engineering at Glasgow University. The other was James's brother William, destined for an even grander career. William's sojourn as Professor of Natural Philosophy—also at Glasgow—would span half a century and include fundamental contributions to an astonishing range of sciences and technologies, from the transport of fluids to the design of ultrasensitive telecommunications. William Thomson would ultimately be ennobled by Queen Victoria, becoming Lord Kelvin of Largs.
December 2007 sees the centenary of Kelvin's death. That early curiosity about energy, shared with brother James as they stood by the Walsall canal, was just the beginning of Kelvin's part in the most significant transformation of physical science since Newton. In tandem with others, such as French engineer Sadi Carnot, German physicist Rudolf Clausius, and English experimenter James Joule, Kelvin developed the science of thermodynamics: the fundamental understanding of the nature of heat, energy and temperature.
The key to the Industrial Revolution and to Britain's dominance in the 19th century was the use of energy. But what fascinated the Thomson brothers that day by the Walsall canal was the potential waste of energy. What became of the power lost when water cascaded over the gates of the lock instead of helping lift the barge? What rules determined how much power was wasted—in this or any other of the myriad technologies on which industry relied?
This question, it turned out, was not just the key to industrial efficiency, but to understanding the nature of all energy transformations—of everything that happens in the Universe, essentially. In pursuit of an answer to this question, Kelvin in Glasgow and Rudolf Clausius in Germany developed perhaps the most fundamental physical law, the Second Law of thermodynamics, which states that every exchange of energy is wasteful; perfect efficiency is impossible.
Whereas Kelvin developed many of the concepts behind thermodynamics, it was Rudolf Clausius who expressed the Second Law in mathematical terms. Clausius introduced a quantity he named entropy, which describes the state of order or structure in a system. According to the Second Law, entropy or disorder (a simpler if not entirely accurate synonym) increases with every energy transaction. Hence, entropy is a sort of dark twin to energy, one that contrasts energy's constancy (the First Law states that energy is conserved) with its own inevitable rise.
Kelvin and Clausius thus presided over the first thermodynamical revolution. The force behind it was a practical one: the need to harness energy for industry. Its dogma was the triumph of entropy and disorder. Yet a hundred years after Kelvin's death, research in thermodynamics is questioning this message of chaotic doom. Some scientists have begun to step beyond the major limitations of 19th-century thermodynamics to explain why our Universe seems characterized not by spreading disorder, but rather by a fantastic degree of structure, complexity and creativity.

We talk a lot about Character and making men of Character in Scouting. We spend a great deal of time reinforcing the ideals found in the Scout Oath and Law and expect our Scouts to live those values which will lead him to a life in which he will be counted as one that has Character.
I have talked about Character a lot here in this blog and believe that if we do nothing else with these young men, we owe them the very best training in being a man of Character.
I have said it before and I will echo it till the end of time… I really don't care if a Scout earns his Eagle as long as he develops Character. His Character will get him much farther in life than a red, white, and blue ribbon with an Eagle suspended from it. Having said that though, you all know that I want them all to earn their Eagle, but the Eagle award does not make the man, Character does.
I was listening to some sports talk radio today and they were discussing the "steroid Ballot" for the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame. Now, I am not going to bother getting into the details of the discussion and I also will not share my opinion on the ballot.. well actually I am in a round about way.
The reason that this caught my attention was that to the folks hosting the discussion made it an issue of Character. And yes sir.. that's what it is all about. There was an argument that the guys that are on the ballot that used "Performance enhancing Drugs" were Hall of Famer's before they used the steroids.. well if they were Hall of Famer's then.. why did they need to cheat?
Mark McGuire who is the only player that actually admitted to the use of steroids said that it was important for him to "come clean" because at some point he had to look his children in the eye and explain all of this.. and that is what got my attention.
In previous posts I have explained the rule of "Saying it aloud". It works every time. I really liked the idea of McGuire holding himself accountable to his kids. That is a great rule for character. We are all accountable to some one and we should act accordingly.
Along with the values of the Oath and Law, knowing that at some point we will have to answer for our actions should force us to act with character. I was listening to Dennis Prager the other day, he said something that reinforced this idea. He said he did not care how you feel.. he cares more about how you act. This too plays a big part in curbing selfish behavior and a lack of character. We live in an era where people feel entitled and that as long as they feel it is ok, then it is. On the contrary, we are still accountable for our actions and at the end of the day you will have an effect on someone else. Knowing that at some point I will have to answer for my actions and that the last people on earth that I ever want to disappoint are my children, I act in accordance with my values. Does it always make those around me feel great.. No, but at the end of the day they can see that I acted with character.
I have made it a point to always demonstrate good character to my kids. It has not always been the cool thing and at times it has left them feeling like I am mean-spirited or a jerk, but then they realize that I care and want only the best for them and all of us.
We often use the standard of the Oath and Law in our discussion of wrong and right. We know that at some point we will all have to answer for a decision we make. If more people used that standard, the world would simply be a better place. There would not be spouses cheating on each other, there would be less crime, there would be far less Congressmen… oh I just could not resist, but seriously our leaders would be driven to make better decisions… after all they are accountable to US.. right.
So Barry Bonds, Mark McGuire, and Sammy Sosa all juiced and had amazing stats in baseball… they are all on the ballot for entry in the Hall of Fame. We don't get a vote, but can they say they got in as a player that did not cheat? Just because they all did it, does that make it right? Not if you are judging based on character. If they get in they are in and will have to continue answering the questions about steroid use. If they don't get in, they will still have to answer for why they did not get in.. the steroid use. If they were actually Hall of Famer's before they used.. they should have use McGuire's standard of how he would answer to those that are most important.. his kids. Personally I don't care one way or the other if they are Hall of Famer's. To me, they cheated and therefore lose the privilege of being in the Hall of Fame, but then my only vote is how I look at them in regard to their character. I judge.
As for me, I will use the values I have and the remember that one day I may have to look in my children's eyes and answer for my actions. That should be enough to make anyone remember that Character matters more than Eagle Medals or statues in the Hall of Fame.
Have a Great Scouting Day!
Character again…
We talk a lot about Character and making men of Character in Scouting. We spend a great deal of time reinforcing the ideals found in the Scout Oath and Law and expect our Scouts to live those values which will lead him to a life in which he will be counted as one that has Character.

The lower half of the face does indeed look like the lower half of Bel-Cam's face. However, this could actually be an obscure Batman villain called, um, Half-Bel-Cam-Face.
Luckily, the extended cut on the blu-ray includes an extensive subplot where Bel-Cam plays a bounty hunter hired by the mob to capture Tom Hanks. Which he does, putting the entire rest of the movie at risk until the Fantastic Four (the version from the unreleased Roger Corman film) rescue Hanks and the movie continues.
Chux, I thought I could trust you to post "Spoiler Alert" statements. :mad: Why should anyone see the movie now, nor its sequels? I'll admit, the 4th film was really weak in the middle, but the ending definitely makes up for that. JJB, I apologize for this Forumite ruining the movie that you obviously already saw, exactly as El Chuxter posted.
Oh, and Love and Other Drugs has been a movie I've seen on cable often this weekend.
Picnic (1955). William Holden gets a bunch of ladies all excited over the Labor Day holiday.
The Killer (1989). Chow Yun Fat and John Woo. Need I say more? But I will: Fat is a hit man who accidentally blinds a cabaret singer during a job. He takes work to raise enough money so she can get a cornea transplant. Nice action sequences.
Gambit (1966). Michael Caine is a cat burglar who employs Shirley MacLaine to help him on a heist. Never knew the two of them worked together before I saw this movie.
On the Beach (1959). The aftermath of a nuclear war and how it affects survivors living in Australia. I don't know why but I find this film depressing yet fascinating at the same time. Good performances by Gregory Peck and Fred Astaire.
I've been re-watching the complete series of Breaking Bad. I'm currently finishing season 3 in my marathon, "b#^CH!"
SyFy's had Raiders of the Lost Ark on this weekend; man, I'd forgotten just how great this movie is.
I'm watching THOR for my first time.
I'm finding I'm actually enjoying it.
I objected to superheroes (besides Superman) being alien "gods" or something, but this is kind of interesting.
Thor is the main reason I never saw Avengers, Thor 2, or Ironman 3. I am revisiting that decision now and possibly correcting it depending upon what my final opinion of Thor is.
I do have this compulsive urge to stand out on my balcony and scream to all my neighbors that "I am THOR! Master of the Universe!"
I will let you know if I drink enough to the point where I accomplish this. I think it will go over big!
Finally got around to seeing Pacific Rim the other day and I thought it was awesome. It's definitely a movie I'll be watching again and I'm kind of wishing that I had made more of an effort to catch it in theaters when it was originally released.
Fail Safe (1965). An Air Force bomber received incorrect orders to bomb Moscow, and the US and Russian gov'ts are trying to stop it.
King Rat (1965). Not your typical WWII POW meeting in the vein of Stalag 17 or Bridge on the River Kwai. It's more about survival than anything. George Segal is an American POW who's running a black market operation within the prison.
Black Dynamite (2006). I've missed seeing this movie until recently. Laughed my butt off.

Anybody see Duck Dynasty last night, their finale for the season??
Sure didn't make me feel very competent as a turkey hunter to see those guys bag nothing less than a double on the first trip to the woods with no practice and terrible tactics.
Let me set it up for you. They decide they need turkeys for their cook off. So Jase and Uncle Si, 2 of the main characters open a box of turkey decoys and calls and head to the woods to turkey hunt.
First issue, they have a full strut and a jake decoy, no hen.
They then play the calls like banjoes, making all kinds of racket. Si even does a dance with a couple of the fans for the decoy in the turkey woods. But worst of all, they hear gobbles to all of this. Not sure if it was a set up with tame turkeys, Lord I hope so. But if not, I've got revisit my own strategies. They have 2 hot strutters come in and one breeds the jake decoy. The guys line them up and successfully harvest the 2 birds, this after all the shenanigans they were up to. Now, I know you can edit like crazy, so I do hope they did truly harvest the birds and then cut in all the other stuff for interesting TV. We all know real turkey hunting would be brutal TV except for the endings of successful hunts. I enjoy this show, but really was aghast last night watching crazy Si doing his dance and Jase disrespecting that box call so badly.
Anyway, see if you can find it and let me know if I'm alone in feeling a little embarrassed for not bagging a bird everytime out.

Something wicked this way comes.…
Suddenly, being bitten by a werewolf is the least of Joanne Walker's problems.
Her personal life in turmoil, her job as a cop over, she's been called to Ireland by the magic within her. And though Joanne's skills have grown by leaps and bounds, Ireland's magic is old and very powerful.…
In fact, this is a case of unfinished business. Because the woman Joanne has come to Ireland to rescue is the woman who sacrificed everything for Joanne - the woman who died a year ago. Now, through a slip in time, she's in thrall to a dark power and Joanne must battle darkness, time, and the gods themselves to save her.

"Fast paced exciting ride through Irish Mythology!"
I do consider this audio better then print for this book. The whole series stands out more for me since I traded in my print for the audio.
I have been happily married for 17 years, I have 3 children (12, 14, & 16), and 2 dogs. I am currently working on a 2nd degree. Life is chaotic and stressful, but I wouldn't change it. I am blessed and enjoying my life.
"This book was sooooo worth the 2 credits!"
This was a wonderful story told with great skill. I have loved the heroine throughout all the previous books and especially this one. ???Raven Calls??? is a great story that was written with incredible intensity and depth. It???s a totally rich experience. I hated for it to end!
Plain and simple I Love to Read! Books take me places and make me feel the world...
"Okay But Not Great!"
I love the way she does the different voices and brings sass to the charters.
I Love the series but it seems like she is dragging it out and I feel that most of the story is filler.
"Holy Crap, so much is going on in this book"
I actually almost did listen to this book in one sitting, I went for a quick morning walk and 8 miles later, I was in downtown Denver. (The walk back was terrible!) There is so much that happens in this book I just got sucked in. I was really glad I went back and skimmed through the other books in the series before listening to this one though, otherwise I would have been a little lost! This is one I will definitely have to listen to again to pick up everything that happened.
"Just fun!"
I have enjoyed this series from the beginning and CE Murphy doesn't disappoint with the most recent installment. I really appreciate how Jo has changed and matured from book to book. Unlike so many of the heroines in this genre, Jo fumbles around, srcews up, faces the consequences of her decisions and learns from them. Very refreshing!
Gabra Zackman does a great job conveying the humor and sarcasm inherent in the dialog.
Looking forward to seeing where this series goes from here.

"set in Ireland"
Slightly harder to follow due to its being in a locale I know little about. Much time travel. Or is it really time travel? Might be mind travel. Gary is more involved in the proceedings. I really like this series.
"Series is growing"
I like the way this book pulls separate strands from the others together. The interaction between Jo and her mother are strong and revealing.
She has gotten better. I like her voices.
"A grand listen"
One of the best stories in urban fantasy today.
A heroine who is smart, stubborn but capable of learning. Willing to standup for her beliefs.
Zackman's reading brings out nuances that might be easily missed otherwise
A heroine with a sense of humor and capable of examining her motives, quite unusual.

- Due to the handmade nature of Majolica, colors and design may vary slightly.
Oval Day of the Dead Kitchen Canister
Majolica pottery originated in the 16th century and is primarily distinguished by the milky-white glaze used after the first firing. Majolica pottery is a diverse category of clay arts under which, Spanish-influenced Talavera and Italian Maiolica are sub-genres. Mexican Majolica primarily differs from traditional Talavera in the art form and use of colors. Traditional Talavera is known for its intricate pattern work whereas Majolica uses more free-form designs and artwork.

text: National rental affordability scheme - taxation issues The national rental affordability scheme (NRAS) is designed to encourage large-scale investment in affordable housing. It offers tax and cash incentives to providers of new dwellings on the condition that they are rented to low- and moderate-income households at 20% below market rates. The NRAS is no longer taking new investments. The NRAS started on 1 July 2008 and offers annual incentives for a period of 10 years. The NRAS tax incentive is tax-free income and has two components: a Federal Government contribution in the form of a refundable tax offset or payment to the value of $8,187.78 per dwelling per year in 2015–16 a state or territory contribution in the form of direct financial support or an in-kind contribution to the value of at least $2,729.26 per dwelling per year in 2015–16. The incentive is indexed in line with the rental component of the consumer price index. The Department of Social Services (DSS)External Link is responsible for administering and implementing the scheme.

I'm completely bored due to all my clients cancelling due to the "cold" weather. I figured I'd input my current playlist (it's always changing). If you like 'em download 'em...if not, fuck off! I like to have mine slowly shift from one genre to the other and I try to time up my list to be done playing when I have to hit the road. Hey...I've got kids and other responsibilities, so I can't spend open to close on the mountain. I generally try to start it out mellow, build a little bit of tempo, go hard, and mellow it back out at the end.

High resolution inverted seismic images of CO2 migration at the Cranfield, Mississippi field injection site: a) Areal view of the reservoir after injection at a depth of 3000 m below the surface showing CO2 migration (indicated by purple shaded areas within and outside the circled region) near the injection wells. (b) Areal view of the rock layer above the injected zone, at a depth of 2600 m below the surface, showing no evidence for leakage of CO2 through the reservoir seal.
Computation algorithms were developed to increase the information content from time-lapse seismic data at CO2 geologic storage sites. This unique seismic inversion technique images the thin layers of rock that can influence the migration of the CO2 plume, providing a high-resolution monitoring capability. The effectiveness of the technique was validated with the time-lapse surface seismic surveys at the Cranfield Mississippi field CO2 sequestration demonstration site.
Removal of CO2 from the emissions of fossil fuel plants is a priority for clean energy. One method involves sequestering the CO2 underground after collection from the power plants. The high-resolution imaging capability will offer more effective monitoring of CO2 plume migration during geologic sequestration, enhancing the prospects for this potentially impactful technology.
A powerful new "seismic inversion" technique uses time-lapse seismic data to make high resolution images useful for evaluating subsurface migration of CO2 following geologic sequestration. Migration of CO2 alters the mechanical properties of porous rocks which can be monitored from high frequency rock property variations embedded in the seismic amplitude data. The technique utilizes a dictionary of seismic "wavelets", information derived from seismic data before CO2 injection, and an optimization algorithm to identify the set of common wavelets that best describe the variations in seismic amplitudes observed pre- and post- CO2 injection. The University of Texas-Austin team applied it to investigate the migration pathways of the CO2 plume at the Cranfield, Mississippi field demonstration site where such time-lapse surface seismic surveys are available. The raw seismic data showed only a weak signature of CO2 injection. However, "seismic inversion" of the data enhanced the information content, showing that the injected CO2 migrated mostly along the top of the layer of rock into which it was injected, but there was no leakage through the reservoir seals. This technique affords an effective way to monitor potential leakage of CO2 plumes at various reservoirs.

with a head injury.
i hope he is not out... Cause i want us to beat NE with Brady.
whatever breaks we can get now id gladly take, bc we r also pretty banged up ourselves.

what head injury? B.S. He has an *** injury!
Doesnt he automatically have to sit out?? NFL new rule??

The Patriots released a practice/participation report today, as they are required to do, but given that the team held a walkthrough inside the Dana-Farber Fieldhouse today, this might be another mythical-type report, as the team had last Thursday when there was no practice at all for Thanksgiving.
During the media-access window, only Fred Taylor was not spotted.

Only Head injury Tom has is from Jizz'ls Teeth.
Does it matter? Fitzpatrick just torched our secondary! It doesnt matter who shows up for them but rather who shows up for us.
Actually the new rule states...If a player leaves the game because of a head injury he will have to sit the following week. Well, Tom Brady did get taken out of the Saints game, but it was most likely due to the fact they were getting smoked! The Patriots have been manipulating the injury report for years! Wouldnt it be awesome if the NFL made Brady sit?? Fat chance in my opinion.

MAXWELL ANDERSON: John Hellmann is a Professor of English at Ohio State University and the author of The Kennedy Obsession: The American Myth of J.F.K.JOHN HELLMANN: John F. Kennedy ran for President precisely in the year where, for the first time, it was said, it was reported that virtually every American home had a television set. And he drew upon the power of film—and Jackie Kennedy I think, learned to do that as well. MAX ANDERSON: Jacqueline Kennedy carefully planned her husband's funeral, which was broadcast into countless homes across the nation. JOHN HELLMANN: There was a black horse in the funeral that walked along without a rider—and this was meant to symbolize the fallen hero. She also came up with the idea of the eternal flame at his grave and it still burns at his grave in Washington DC. All these were grand, theatrical elements that gave a special, kind of ceremonious meaning to her husband's death. And it transformed its meaning from simply history and political science into the realm of art and myth. I think that's one of the things that Andy Warhol, in the painting Nine Jackies, is drawing our attention to.

Smoked Bluefish Paté
Hawkeye and I were sharing recipes at the Mass Striped Bass event in Plymouth and I told him how I do Smoked Bluefish Paté. He said I ought to share it with the board, which I now have reason to do. I caught my first bluefish of the season on Monday, brined it overnight, smoked it Tuesday, and made the first '02 batch this way:
2 medium fillets smoked bluefish (4-5 cups when crumbled?)
2 8-oz. Packages of Kraft Philly cream cheese (at room temperature)
Juice of 1½ fresh lemons (more or less to taste)
2-3 tablespoons horseradish (more or less to taste)
½ cup chopped chives (or scallions or finely chopped white onion)
Coarsely ground black pepper
Dash of Worcestershire sauce
Crumble the fish in a ceramic bowl
Add the lemon juice and cream cheese
Blend with a kitchen fork to a rough paste
Add horseradish, chives, pepper, and Worcestershire to taste
Chill and serve
I don't scale or skin the fillets. The scale-side down on the smoker rack means easy removal and little or no clean-up. I smoke with a combination of alder and apple in a Little Chief (thanks to advice from this board). I smoke wet first, then dry. With the skin and scales on, I smoke for a full eight hours.
Mixing by hand in a bowl creates a coarser paté, which I prefer. A blender or food processor will give you a smoother result. I put this up in 12-oz Tupperware bowls, freezing some and refrigerating the rest. It keeps well.
Serve on Bremner wafers, Carr's crackers, Triscuits, Wheat thins-anything with a little crunch and salt. Something about smoked bluefish cries out for a gin and tonic-cold, fresh Schweppes in the small bottles to keep it bubbly. A toast to you all.

Ganglioneuroblastoma is an intermediate tumor that grows nerve tissue. An intermediate tumor is one that is between benign (slow-growing and unlikely to spread) and malignant (fast-growing, aggressive, and likely to spread).
This rare tumor occurs in less than 5 out of every 1,000,000 children each year.
Tumors of the nervous system have different degrees of differentiation. The degree of differentiation is based on how the tumor cells look under the microscope. It can predict whether or not they are likely to spread.
Benign tumors are less likely to spread. Malignant tumors are aggressive, grow quickly, and often spread. A
A ganglioneuroblastoma may be only in one area or it may be widespread, but it is usually less aggressive than a neuroblastoma. The cause is unknown.
Most commonly, a lump can be felt in the abdomen. However, this condition may also occur in other parts of the body.
Because these tumors are rare, they should be treated in a specialized center by experts who have experience with them.
Depending on the type of tumor, treatment can involve surgery, and possibly chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
You can often help the
The outlook depends on how far the tumor has spread, and whether some areas of the tumor contain more aggressive cancer cells.
Call your health care provider if you feel a lump or growth on your child's body. Make sure children receive routine examinations as part of their well-child care.

The Glen Oak Neighborhood Impact Zone, a two-block area in the East Bluff – the city's top target area for crime reduction, neighborhood revitalization and home improvement assistance, surrounding District 150's new $25 million Glen Oak School.Last night's East Bluff murder at Peoria Food Stop Inc., took place immediately across the street from the new Glen Oak School (one block from the Boy's and Girl's Club).
The Glen Oak Neighborhood Impact Zone was identified by the City Council in May 2009 to be targeted for revitalization. The city designated millions of dollars in public investment, with more than $3 million in sidewalk and road projects already completed.
The City has already noted that there has been very few applications for down payment assistance to purchase a home near Glen Oak School. This murder in the Impact Zone certainly won't help the situation. Unfortunate.

Thread: Don't want Boomer to die
Water is not what we are referring to when we say cycled.
Cycled means having bacteria that eat ammonia and nitrite growing on your filter media (the spongy stuff). Otherwise, the waste from fish adds up very quickly to toxic levels.
Old water is never a good thing. :)
And even with cycled tanks, we do water changes to remove nitrate (the by product of bacteria) and other bad stuff.
I'm very glad you have a heater, I must have missed that line. Also, we aren't all American, all are welcome. :)
There are anti-intestinal parasite foods out there to try. Also, sometimes their bellies bulge from constipation...either way, a pea shelled and cut to bits is good for them every once and a while...cleans out the system. If the water stays pristine clean, then the ulcer should go away.
If you don't care about the snails, a bit of aquarium salt in the water may help the betta heal, but will hurt the snails.20 gallon with a male betta, neons, glowlights, and red cherry shrimp. (work in progess) Recently added a few LIVE plants and driftwood, Woooohoooo!
Just looked at the pic...definitely try feeding him the pea (avoid canned peas, too much salt).
And likely he does have parasites.
Bettas can live longer than 2-3 years if kept in the right conditions.
If you washed the filter in straight tap water, the chlorine killed all the good bacteria that had built up, and that means you need to check for ammonia and nitrite build up. Anything over .25ppm is *very* bad.20 gallon with a male betta, neons, glowlights, and red cherry shrimp. (work in progess) Recently added a few LIVE plants and driftwood, Woooohoooo!

Oki doki, the tests at the pet store showed too much ammonia a few days ago but I have been doing several water changes since then. I did what you said ( massive water change) and cut his pimafix and melafix in half.he has bee hanging around the lower tank today, and racing to the top for air, strange behaviour and I know from a previous post that's not a good sign. I will give him peas,help me here.....do i cook them? silly question I know but who would have thought they eat peas at all? I did another big water change today, bought one of those suction thingys to vacuum from under the rocks, Boomer....still not a happy fishy, worried about his lack of activity, turned up the tank one degree ( it think he liiked it)...ditched the old heater, bought a new one ...how can I get good bacteria back in the tank and will the peas cure internal parasites? It looks like this long wormy thing is gone..wonder if the colloidal silver helped kill it......if he is looking better overall ( i mean his visible condition)....why he he falling to the bottom of the tank>>>>......even caught him nose down, which is a change from his nose pointing upwards the last week.This sounds silly but worrying about the fish has kept me awake this week *sigh* it's as bad as the dog or a child being sick.... thanks again guys.

Also, when I said he's looking a bit better overall, I meant his scales dont look as shabby as yesterday, all other signs are negative.....this ulcer thing he has under his mouth? appears to be making an infectious type hole...like eating away. Just checked the cupboard, no peas....have to get them in the morn before work and hope he is still alive then :( Ta
Hmmm...ok sounding more like bacterial infection. I did some research for you and the poop thing can be caused by bacteria too. A pea will still do him good...if fresh/frozen, just thaw and chop up into little bits, then serve.
The temperature should be about 27 degrees C or over, so raise it a degree and hour as needed.
Add aquarium salt (though it will harm the snails, you can get more...they are common pests and are adding to the bioload).
And keep up on the water changes. Your good bacteria will eventually regrow, but until then his water needs to be pristine if he has hope.
I've never used melafix or pimafix, and the reports on its effectiveness are varied, but those won't hurt him with the salt.20 gallon with a male betta, neons, glowlights, and red cherry shrimp. (work in progess) Recently added a few LIVE plants and driftwood, Woooohoooo!
just a reminder to not feed the entire pea to him... 1 or 2 chunks the size of his eye ball.

One more quick question, what should I do to prep the new tank before I put him in? Ta :)
Get the water up to temp, and dechlorinated.
Any decor you may want.
When you move him, move the filter with him, making sure it stays wet in the transition.
Run the new filter alongside the old filter for a few weeks, or just never take the old one away (I have two running off my 20g for when I need a QT).
Make sure the ph and temp is the same, and you can just net him in. If it isn't, float him in a bag for 20 min in the new tank, adding a small amount of new tank water every 5 min or so.
Anyone else think of anything?20 gallon with a male betta, neons, glowlights, and red cherry shrimp. (work in progess) Recently added a few LIVE plants and driftwood, Woooohoooo!

Ok, decided to take the night off work and get this tank change done because I have to work day and evenings for the next seven days and if I don't do it ow, it's not going to get done!
I need to know how much salt per litre.......and should it be rock salt? Also, noticed that since the other long white stringy thing fell off he has a new one that has appeared since this morning, really really looking like the parasite thing I saw on the pic of the gold fish I posted in the link of a previous post so I am hoping this tank change with salted water will save him????? I tried feeding him peas, he wont eat them simply because he's busy hanging around the surface of the water for constant air and the peas sink straight to the bottom.

Just over a year ago I received a message from a (at that time) new friend of mine saying "You need to do me a favor. we need to talk. I was going to call you anyways. But i have something going on i think you'd enjoy. Call me later tonight. I'll be free." So of course I called him and he proceeded to tell me about this idea for a non-profit monthly dance party that revolved around a group of like minded individuals who love music. He said that there will be a select group of 100 people hand picked by him that would get to have input on whose booked and that would get to come to each of these parties free of charge. He said that the goal was to provide all of it's members and anyone in attendance with a one of a kind opportunity to experience said artists/djs in an intimate house party style setting free of the commercialized bullshit that makes the average club going experience a nightmare. He said that any money made would go right back into the next party. I immediately told him that I thought he was a genius and that I think it's going to be the start of something BEEEAUTIFUL. He said "I hope so…we'll see. He then asked.."So are you in? You're like the 3rd person I've told."
Here we are a year later and this party has exceeded my expectations. Not only has it provided all of it's members (past/present) with an opportunity to engage in and contribute to a movement that has made a huge impact on the Denver music scene, but also a chance to develop new friendships with amazing people. And how about the vibe? There's nothing like it! Simply put It's the highlight of every month for me and I'm quite sure the same goes for my fellow "Hundredteers." I look forward to celebrating the one year mark with everyone and (on behalf of Starstuffscallywags) I'd like to thank the man who made it all possible, Brennan Bryarly aka option4. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your amazing vision homie. I think I speak for everyone when saying that it's been a helluva ride thus far. Cheers to another year!!
Seeing that this is such a momentus occasion, all stops have been pulled and your headliner for the evening is one Jerome LOL. He gained notoriety as one half of the recently de-funked LA/Montreal duo LOL Boys. Jerome was the LA side of duo and he's certainly staying busy on his own by quickly building a strong base of quality original productions and remixes via his Soundcloud page which you can check out here. He also runs Body High Records with fellow bass aficionado Samo Soundboy. An artist in the truest form of the word, his creativity doesn't lie within music alone as he's also a very skilled "internet artist." (as showcased here). So much so that Rihanna allegedly stole one of his concepts for a recent SNL performance of her latest single 'Diamonds." A track which, ironically enough, Jerome very recently remixed. For more on that take a look at this interview he did with Fader Magazine here .
From a stylistic standpoint his production work, both solo and with LOL Boys, is nothing if not completely original. The best way I can describe it is forward thinking bass music with touches of house, hip-hop and R&B. I think we can expect to hear a few selections and edits from the short, but sweet LOL Boys catalog and some of his new solo material strewn about what promises to be a brilliant and eclectic set. Jerome is hands down the most forward thinking artist we've welcomed for the party and seeing that we're moving "forward" into another year, that seems very appropriate.
Of course the local support will be exteremly strong with the godfather option4, Lust, Narky Stares and a little help from San Francisco based DJ Enso.
Set Times:
option4 – (Deep house set) 9PM
Lust – (Holy Underground) 945PM
Narky Stares – (Damn Gurl) 1030PM
ENSO – (San Francisco) 1115PM
option4 – (TheHundred, Lipgloss) 12AM
RSVP Here
Cover is only $7…as always a steal for the talent in the building. I also encourage you to save some gusto for the official afterparty at Rhinoceropolis which you can RSVP for HERE. Cover is only $5 and it will feature sets from locals Loo Gutz aka Werq, option4, Hollagramz and a surprise guest from Jerome's Label Body High. Bang! There's your night Denver. See you on the dance floor.

Zakian to deliver final President's Lecture
Posted April 14, 2011; 01:52 p.m.
Princeton molecular biologist Virginia Zakian will deliver the final talk in the 2010-11 President's Lecture Series at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, April 28, in Thomas Laboratory, Room 3.
Zakian will discuss her research on telomeres, the physical endpoints of chromosomes, in a lecture titled "Maintaining the End: Telomere Replication and Its Connections to Human Health." Zakian will describe her lab's work on telomeres in baker's yeast and how these studies inspire novel ideas for regulation of telomere activity in humans.
Zakian is Princeton's Harry C. Wiess Professor in the Life Sciences and a professor of molecular biology. Her talk will be webcast; viewing information will be available at on the Webmedia site.
The President's Lecture Series was started by President Tilghman in 2001 to bring together faculty members from different disciplines to learn in a public forum about the work others are doing in a variety of fields.

watch out for terrell sinkfield!! undrafted wr from northern iowa same as kurt warner
Has anyone checked out this website? They're pretty good at updating the team depth chart throughout the year it seems. I just found it today, but it already has Clabo penciled in as of this afternoon.
In the last couple of years Ourlads ditched the subscription idea and now it is back up free. They do a terrific job and keep it updated and I check it when I am looking for depth charts for other teams. As for the Dolphins I still continue to produce my own version, mostly because I think I can still get it more accurate then them. Obviously guess work is still a big part of these offseason depth charts, because no one knows for sure what Philbin is thinking. But some things I see on Ourlads that I disagree with is that they have Don Jones listed as a safety, it has been reported locally that they see him as a cornerback. They have Thomas as the starting running back when the consensus is that Miller is the starter. They have Jordan listed as a starting defensive end when I believe Odrick will be the primary starter but Jordan will be more of a passing down rusher in his first year. Yeatman at right tackle when he finished the year at left tackle? I don't agree with that either.
Ourlads is a great site, I just don't think they are as plugged in as we are to what the Dolphins plans are.
Thanks for the info. I noticed a few of those differences as well. The biggest surprise to me was seeing D. Thomas as our starting RB. He could possibly end up 3rd behind Miller and Gillislee when all is said and done. I think Taylor has a very good chance of stepping in and taking the starting job from Marshall.
The link 72 champagne posted has Deon Jordan starting and Jared as the back up. I wonder if that actually will be the case?
Thanks Josh!

Twitter has hired its first head of commerce: a recording artist with an MBA who is being brought in to sing a new tune.
The man of the hour is Nathan Hubbard, who was president at Live Nation Entertainment (LYV) unit Ticketmaster. Twitter is looking to participate in online retailing by promoting e-commerce, and Hubbard has experience selling concert venue inventory.
"We're going to go to people who have stuff to sell and help them use Twitter to sell it more effectively," Hubbard told Bloomberg. He's a Princeton University grad with an master's in business administration from Stanford University. And he has recorded music.
Twitter can harness some piece of online sales, and be an advertising and marketing conduit. How? Not clear. In Yahoo (YHOO) or Google (GOOG) search, a retailer gets more information on consumer desires, versus a news headline or a sports observation in a coded Tweet. The Amazon.com (AMZN) marketplace is well built with much more visual real estate. "Twitter has always been a place where you can say, 'hey look at me, look at what I am saying,' " said Jon Erlichman, a Bloomberg journalist, on Bloomberg Radio.
Twitter has been supported in its private domain by investors. So as Twitter considers a public offering, it needs to prove it can build revenue. More from Erlichman in this Bloomberg story.
In today's market, roiled by the the decaying situation in Syria, shares of Yahoo are down 2.6%, Amazon is down 2% and Google is down nearly as much, while Live Nation is down nearly 4%.

This new edition corrects a few minor errors that were present in the 1928 edition published by Curwen and also shows the trumpets in Bb; they were shown in C originally. The six movements which are based on sixteenth century dance tunes are:- Basse-Danse, Pavane, Tordion, Bransles, Pieds-en-l´air, Mattachins.

I received a comment on my post about Backpacking Trip planning made easy. The Reader asked a few questions I would love to answer.
Here is his comment:
Oregon must be a great place for backpacking. Tell us how far you have to go to get to the trail heads around you. And how far is too far away for a weekend camping trek.
Oregon must be a great place for backpacking. Tell us how far you have to go to get to the trail heads around you. And how far is too far away for a weekend camping trek.
I live in the midwest, in a plains state, and have to travel hours to get to even the Ozarks in Arkansas to find more than a 2 mile wilderness trail. Do you go 3 or 4 hours from home base? More than 150 to 200 miles? Do you camp at a park the first night and hit the trail in the morning? Or do you hike a bit at night and camp on the trail?
Yep Oregon is an amazing place to be a backpacker. We have a lot of wilderness area and hundreds of miles of trail. Not to mention the famous Pacific Crest Trail.
In so far as distance and time travel to get to the nearest trail head. I can be on the Pacific Crest trail in 25 minutes from my front door. Within a 30 minute drive I can be on any number of trails and fantastic weekend adventures.
Mt. Hood is 45 minutes away, and on it are an endless amount of backpacking opportunities. In fact my Troop will be backpacking the Historic Barlow Trail over the labor day weekend. The trail head is 40 minutes from my house. I live in a suburb of Portland. From our Troops meeting place (which is 5 miles from my home) we can be backpacking in Central Oregon's high desert in 2 hours, on a trek at the Oregon Coast in 2 and half hours, and hitting the trail in the Cascades Mountain range in 40 minutes. So time and distance is not a problem here.
We typically camp at the trail head or a park close by on Friday nights, then hit the trail in the morning.
Thanks for the comments, glad I can answer the questions for you.
Get out and hike…
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Bahcall explores universe's 'dark side'
Tuesday, April 8, 2008, 8 p.m. · A02 McDonnell Hall
Posted April 4, 2008; 10:04 a.m.
Neta Bahcall, Princeton's Eugene Higgins Professor of Astrophysics, will deliver a lecture on "The Dark Side of the Universe" at 8 p.m. Tuesday, April 8, in A02 McDonnell Hall.
Bahcall will discuss surprising findings about the composition of the universe, which includes not only dark matter but also "dark energy" -- a form of energy that opposes the pull of gravity and causes the expansion of the universe to accelerate. She will discuss recent observations of clusters of galaxies, distant supernovae and the cosmic microwave background that provide evidence that the universe includes 5 percent "normal" matter, 20 percent dark matter and 75 percent dark energy -- much less matter than previously thought. These observations of the "dark side of the universe" suggest that it will keep expanding forever.
Bahcall is known for her work in cosmic cartography, divining the structure and properties of the universe on large scales from massive sets of data accumulated through deep surveys of the sky and with the Hubble Space Telescope. She has been a pioneer in developing innovative techniques to interpret astronomical data, including a statistical approach to understanding how giant clusters of galaxies are distributed in the universe. The determination of the mass density or total mass of the universe is among her most fundamental contributions to astrophysics.
The lecture, which is intended for a general audience, is designated as the annual Evnin Lecture sponsored by the Council on Science and Technology.

In a week in which we mark the Martin Luther King Day holiday, we are reminded that, despite great strides in racial equality, there are still Kansas Citians who remember vividly a shameful chapter in American history including a time when lynchings were a commonplace occurrence in America.
Before the generation of people who remember such atrocities dies off, a Kansas City scholar is trying to record eye-witness accounts and what she's finding is not just graphic photos and consuming hate, but the ability of some of those most affected to forgive.
The PBS series Religion and Ethics Newsweekly recently came to Kansas City to report on that work. Bob Faw filed that report for the PBS series Religion and Ethics Newsweekly, which runs Sunday afternoons at 1:30 on KCPT.
WARNING: This report contains some disturbing images. Viewer discretion is advised.

Time Conversion: ISO timestamps, mktime(), and UTC
In the C library, there is a very handy function called mktime()
which takes a struct tm pointer, pointing to time data in the local timezone,
and converts it to a unix time_t.
- iso_to_tm() - simple ISO timestamp converter
- utc_mktime() - the brute force UTC to time_t converter
- TzWrapper - C++ wrapper class for setting and restoring TZ
There is also a very handy set of functions that goes in the other direction. The function gmtime() takes a time_t and converts it to a struct tm in the UTC timezone. And localtime() does the reverse of mktime(), converting a time_t to a struct tm in the local timezone.
The one function missing is the reverse of gmtime().
One way to do it, via standard library function calls, is to adjust the TZ environment variable to "UTC" and then call mktime(), which will then use it as the current timezone. But that gets messy. Not only do you have to save the old TZ setting to restore it afterward, if your program uses threads, messing about with the global TZ variable is hardly safe.
Another way to do it is to use gmtime() as a reference point, and loop while adjusting the original struct tm until mktime() + gmtime() gives you the result you started with. This is brute force and inelegant, but it manages to do the job without fiddling with the global environment.
When parsing ISO timestamp strings, this problem is hit pretty quick. An ISO timestamp can contain a time in either the local timezone or UTC, depending on the trailing 'Z' flag. In my research, it does not appear that more specific timezones can be specified in the timestamp format, so at least we only have two states to worry about.
After much searching, I've ended up with something that I find suitable enough to release. I tackled this problem back in 2007 for the OpenSync project (you can see similar code in the opensync_time.c file), but looking back on it now, the code is not clean enough for me to reuse very easily. And even though there's a vtime2unix converter function, it leaves the burden of timezones to the user.
I took a look at Boost's date_time library as well, and while huge and comprehensive, and though it breaks the problem of time, dates, and durations into nice manageable chunks, it seemed to reverse the status of the C library: it made UTC conversions easy, and local timezone conversions hard. And it reads timezone information out of CSV files... I don't want to have to maintain my own timezone database when the OS does it for me.
So, if I don't want to write my own conversion routines, and if I don't want to maintain my own timezone database, I'm stuck with the C library method, and the first two solutions. Might as well make it easy to use.
The source files for TzWrapper contain the following utilities:
Using TzWrapper, it's now possible to do things like:
struct tm pacific_tm = { ... }; time_t t = TzWrapper("Canada/Pacific").mktime(&pacific_tm); cout
If you have any further tips to make this code better, or pointers to better libraries that make this code obsolete, please let me know!

Falcons Receivers a Huge Challenge for Broncos

Roddy White and Julio Jones are the best receiver combination in the league. Both are big, fast, strong and sure handed, and this is trouble for Denver's secondary. Denver did a good job against Mike Wallace, Antonio Brown and the rest Pittsburgh's passing attack, but these two are a whole different breed. Trace Porter had an incredible game week one, culminating in the game clinching pick-six,...
