My boy friend and I will be staying in the S. Bronx for three nights leading up to New Years. Reading all of the information on here I'm starting to get a little worried. My boy friend is a dark skinned Italian/Puerto Rican and I am a super light skinned blonde that weighs about 105lbs. Anyone have any tips or advice that will keep us from getting into trouble. Are the metros considered safe during the day or should we take taxis everywhere we go? Are there certain streets or areas we should absolutely avoid?
I'd also love to know if there are certain places that you recommend we see; restaurants, sites etc.
What's the best option (transportation wise) to take from LGA to Lafayette Ave/White Plains Rd, Bronx area? A friend and I have never been to that area and don't want to be completely clueless. I'm debating if I want to deal with the subway/bus system or just take a cab straight from the airport considering that I will have to lug some luggage around. Also, can someone advise me about the area? I'm planning on staying with a friend for a few days and spend the rest in the city. Does the buses have enough space for luggage or is it just certain ones?
Any and all advice would greatly be appreciated. :D Thanks!
When visiting Riverdale in the BX I noticed an area along the Henry Hudson PKWY (on left/water side coming from Manhattan) with walking trails and a beautiful columned structure overlooking the water. I am visiting again soon and would like to go there but am unsure what it is called. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I need to take the 2 train to Wakefield-241 Street /White Plains Road - the last stop in the Bronx. It seems to have a negative reputation. How safe is it here? and how late can you be around this area?

But any suggestions a 20 and 19 year old can do in the are thats safe around 7:00-10:00pm?? Or any areas I should make sure they avoid, they will have there own car. They really enjoy the music/coffee shop scene…

I'm planning to buy a house in the Bronx, NY area. I'm Asian, with two kids both of which are in the school age. I would appreciate very much anyone who could recommend a place in the Bronx area which matches my requirements as follows: (a) good neighborhood, (b) accesibility to public transportations,e.g., sub-way, buses, (c) accessibility to school, hospital, and groceries. (d) accesibility to church. I don't have much knowledge about the Bronx area. Aside from Riverdale area, any recommendation of other good places to raise a family in the Bronx area would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your kind help.

Hi everyone, If all goes well; i should be working at these two hospitals in the summer. I am currently debating whether to live in the Bronx or in Manhattan. As I would be moving from abroad, I would like the aviod the hassle of buying a car. My question is, is the area around these two hospitals safe enough for me to take the metro at all hours? I am particularly concerned about walking to the metro stops in the dark. My working hours will be quite varied: like 5am-11pm (or later). I like to think I have good street smarts, I lived in Philly for 13 years. Thanks ahead for any info!

TWO Ryanair jets have collided at London's Stansted Airport, but none of the crew members or passengers were injured, police say.
Essex police said they conducted "routine breath tests" on both pilots after the incident early on Saturday morning but there were no signs of alcohol.
They said no further police action is planned.
Ryanair spokesman Robin Kiely said the wing tip of one plane and the tail cone of another "made contact" while one plane was approaching the stand and the other was pushing back.
He said passengers were put on other planes after a three-hour delay.
Airport spokesman Chris Wiggan said both planes were damaged and the Air Accident Investigation Board is handling the inquiry.
He said the airport was operating normally despite the incident.

This ended to be the perfect house for our family. The kids loved the third floor dorm and there was plenty of space for the 11 of us. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you need. The view was amazing and there was plenty of space outside to play badminton, soccer, etc. not to forget the kayaks to enjoy the lake. Of course South Hero region is amazing for biking, and we took advantage of it. Our one-day bike trip to Burlington was a nice adventure and allowed us to also enjoy the city.
This was a wonderful family vacation. The owners, Tina and Jack gave us multiple tips and suggestions of things to do in the area and insured we had what we needed to spend a wonderful time. We would definitively go back again!
We would definitively recommend to anyone who want to take vacation in the Lake Champlain region.
Went up with a group of 5 and a dog it was just lovely. The house is cozy and beautiful, and the view of the lake is extraordinary. We spent the days touring Burlington and in the evenings had a great time relaxing by the fireplace, cooking, and playing board games. John and Tina made sure we knew how to reach them and seemed like they would have been very responsive should any issues have arisen -- though the house was waiting for us so perfectly, there was no need. We'd love to come back again!
Our large family stayed at this great lakeside property for a wedding in South Hero. The house was spacious and had great accommodations, large family room to gather in while looking at the lake and a great kitchen, quiet sunroom for reading, and fun backyard for playing around in. The kitchen was perfectly set up and allowed a team effort to cook and serve dinner to the group. The wind off the lake was restful and everyone said how much they enjoyed the chance to be together throughout the weekend. The bedrooms were spacious and wonderfully decorated. We felt this experience added tremendously to the wedding of our nephew because we had such good memories of being together instead of at a hotel where everyone is separated in different rooms. We hope to return in the summer!
Great Choice! Our family and friends stayed for a a week prior to a wedding on Grand Isle, and we were all amazed how well apponted, maintained and located this wonderful home is. Large back yard with great views of the islands and Adirondacks and only a 10 minute walk to the town beach. We biked the ENTIRE island and with the exception of the main highway saw few trucks or cars. We look forward to returning. Kayakiing was also fun. Easy access to local farms, produce airport and Burlington. Thanks Jack & Tina!
We had a family reunion celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary and this was the perfect place. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking and baking. The large table accommodated our family and the living room was very comfortable. Our grandchildren ranged in age from 17 to 1 year old. Our children and grandchildren swam, kayaked, jogged, and rode bikes. The younger children walked around the corner and waded into the lake. And the hammock was never empty.
I always read the reviews when making decisions. I wanted to share how much we enjoyed being in this home. It never felt like a rental. Not sure if the view from the kitchen, or seeing the moon on the lake from our bedroom was my favorite.
What is written in the explanation for the property is absolutely true. From kitchen appliances to games, it's all there. I highly recommend this lovely home.
This is a wonderful house for a family vacation. We stayed there with children and grandchildren (13 of us) and there was plenty of room and privacy for everyone. Everything was very well maintained. The newly remodeled kitchen is beautiful, functional, and a pleasure to use. The house and grounds were spotless when we arrived and the owner called the next morning to make sure everything was alright.
While there are lots of things to do in, and around South Hero, many days we were all perfectly happy staying right on the property. The house is very well equipped for indoor and outdoor activities - there is also a mooring offshore, so in addition to the kayaks that come with the house, we were able to moor a sailboat.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this house to friends and relatives. Our children and grandchildren were unanimous in their hope to repeat our visit next summer. Make sure to go to the Blue Paddle for dinner and Allenholm Farm for Maple Creemees.

text: I am writing here after a long time. Just wanted to update that I got remap done from Siddharth of Tune-O-Tronics. I was planning to do this for a long time and when he had that discount running, I jumped on the opportunity. This "fee" covers all subsequent visits and consultations as long as I am the owner of the car. Frankly earlier I never liked to drive the car in city. As I felt it to be "heavy" or "laggy" in city conditions. It was jerky from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd gear change. Bumper to bumper traffic was a BIG pain. On initial clutch release it would dart forward but then due to short 1st gear and engine noise have to shift to 2nd and 2nd would be laggy if it was even slightly uphill and when it did pick up still it is short so cannot get that "pinned in the seat" feeling. Real kill joy I tell you. Only from 3rd gear it was "driveable". But in highways it's character used to change. The car was a complete "split personality". But still I did not like the noise after 2500 rpm - some "drone" noise. Ok on first remap he gave his usual "powerized" tune. As I started to drive, I did not feel much but then when I drove for a few minutes, I immediately realized, the "drone" noise after 2500 rpm was not there. Also rev counter was climbing super fast and when pushed with my driving style, there was no hesitation in the engine, no crankiness, no complain - felt like a honda petrol engine revving up. Consistently could see rev counter skirting 5000 rpm. Actually I went to his residence for the remap. Where he lives there are empty stretches to test. Ok to be very frank I could not feel too much difference in performance at mid/high range. But I think the problem is - in Punto I can't feel speed, or at least the way I drive it. I personally think it will take 150bhp to start challenging the chassis capability. He did check my air filter and it was clogged - he dusted it and put it back but advised me to get it cleaned or get a new one. While returning I got the air filter changed in TASS. Ok while driving around in the city for the next few days I realized, 1500 - 2000 rpm, there is higher torque. I slowly realized, city driveability has improved by a good factor. In fact with the way the car had trained me to drive it, now I would reach 3000 rpm when I thought I was probably doing 2000. I mean the rpm climbed quick. So I consciously tried to keep under 2000 and found that it was entirely possible to drive around now with 95% of the time within 2000 rpm and the only time I revved past 2000 was during 2nd to 3rd change although it was also not necessary. My city mileage increased from around 14 to 15.8. Highway mileage I felt there was some wee bit drop, but I was revving around and doing crazy things. I went for a Kanyakumari trip to test it. In highways, I was able to climb to higher cruising speeds. Earlier, my "comfortable" limit was 120. Beyond that I did not like the NVH. But now it seemed that there was no upper limit where I would stop feeling comfortable. I was able to cruise VERY comfortably and relaxed at 130. In fact, in the NICE link road from PES college to NICE ring road - 10 km stretch, I was able to climb up to around 185 without fuss before thoughts of tyre burst began to bother me and I realized the GT3 is rated 190. The car was super stable even at that speed and that stretch is not exactly straight or even plain although traffic is non existent most of the times. About performance, I always felt the car was already doing 120/130 before I could test anything, so I never got to feel that "pinned in the seat" feeling. However while driving from NICE junction at Kanakpura Road to Sri Sri Ravishankar Ashram, one can feel the acceleration, the chassis, the suspension working while overtaking others at the twists and turns. Now that stretch from PES college to Kanakpura Road is a regular stretch for me. I do 130/140/160 etc etc. - like this has become standard fare - as I told I did 185 once. Never did I feel even once that I was out of control. In fact at these speeds one can appreciate the stability of the car and the chassis suspension setup and the confidence it gives. I must say I am also impressed by the GT3 wet grip as I did this once while raining. Also water sprayed below at high speed does not unsettle the chassis - only some mild rocking. But I am not planning to do any of these things now as I think such high speeds are very very dangerous. A late realization is better than none. I would advise others also not to get carried away and reflect for a while before pressing the throttle. But I felt a curious half second lag every time I shifted gears. I talked to Siddharth, and he advised me to change my driving style, may be start pressing accelerator before the clutch is fully released. I tried that and it does work, but then I have to do it consciously as I have never driven like this before. Usually I leave the clutch fully and only then I press the accelerator. So I did not like this way of driving. Also I began feeling that I need to press the throttle more to get the expected response. I contacted Siddharth if he could do a second remap. This was anyway due as I was supposed to give him some feedback in a month's time but due to my extra busy schedule I kept putting this off. So we talked over the phone and via emails about this lag and the need to push the throttle more. I pointed him to some websites mentioning similar symptoms on remap and whether he needs some adjustment in his maps. He told his maps are infact "caliberated" ??? Ok I am not sure what this means but I assume he meant it is "tested". When we met again this Monday, first he took a test drive and in general was happy with the "health" of the engine. He has a different way of driving - step on the throttle etc, - very very aggressive, so I had to tell him how to drive like me to feel the lag. He did acknowledge the lag. He told me it could most probably be a weak/dirty MAF sensor. So he suggested that he could give a compensation for a weak MAF sensor signal and then I could try it out. He gave some explanation of the compensation which I frankly did not understand. If the MAF was weak but stable, the compensation will work, but if it was progressively dying, then eventually I would have to change it. But it seems the ECU is programmed for some tolerances before it issues engine check for a weakening MAF. I also asked him if I could get some more power. He was hesitant but then seeing my disapproval for his hesitation, he said he will provide some more boost over the entire rev range. He told me that the car would jump if clutch is released, he was concerned if the driveability would be compromised. But I was not convinced with his explanation as I do not drive like him, I drive with very little pedal and expect the car to respond. I knew it would not be a problem for me. Anyway he provided me with that extra boost. I also asked him what to do with the EGR. He said it was my wish. I asked what others had done. He told some keep it open, some close it entirely and some close it partially. So I took this middle path and closed the gate partially (closed to 10%). He advised me that on highways I need to let go off the throttle for a second or two in between just to cool down the exhaust temperature. If I keep the throttle pressed, the exhaust temperature will keep building up slowly, but if I take off the throttle for a second or two it will cool off immediately and then I can resume the throttle. Actually I had read somewhere, closing the EGR will lead to higher temperature stress on the exhaust valve. Ok now was the test drive. He drove it and felt it was seriously fast. I also feel the car is "seriously fast" when he drives it and when I sit on the passenger seat Advise # 2 was to leave the clutch pedal slowly or the transmission will take a big hit. On rainy days be careful not to let your left foot slip off the clutch. Look around for pedestrians. Be careful in general. He did a half clutch and made me feel the engine torque hitting the gears. He repeatedly told I need to be a bit more careful with this power. OK anyway I took the test drive and since it was dark I drove slowly, Oh my god now there was a REMARKABLE change in driveability. Turbo Lag was gone, throttle responded with minimal push. This is the first time I actually enjoyed driving in the city. Ok so far, for the last two days I am driving, it is entirely inside the city and now there is good boost in 1000 - 1500 rpm range. And it is just a breeze to drive. He told me there will be some hit in mileage, but who cares, there is such a huge improvement in driveability - no lagginess, no hesitation, no heaviness. No pushing the pedal to get the expected response. Ok I haven't yet tested what boost he has provided me in the performance zone, but I had some glimpses of it and all I can say is that it does feel interesting. It is OK, I do not intend to to take on Sebastian Vettel. I am now consciously careful about high speed gimmicks. About the mileage, in any case since I am able to drive comfortably at lower rpms, I do not think the city mileage will drop much and so far it looks like that.

For more course tutorials visit\nwww.tutorialrank.com\n\n• LEG 500 Assignment 1 Employment-At-Will Doctrine\nDue Week 3 and worth 200 points\nAs a manager and supervisor of an accounting department, discuss the following issues related to the employment-at-will doctrine and liability of an employer based on actions and responses to the employee's behavior and actions. Jennifer, a recent graduate, has recently been hired by your accounting firm out of college. Upon being hired, she engages in a number of different behaviors that need your attention.\nFor each category of behavior, describe what steps you would take to address the situation. In your responses, you may want to consider the following\n Should the firm be legally allowed to fire her based on the employment-at-will doctrine? Why or why not?\n What are the legal implications for the employer vs. the employee in this particular instance?\n What preventive measures should the employer have in place in order to reduce any risk or liability on its part?\n Are there any "exceptions" to the employment-at-will doctrine that would apply in this case?\nWrite a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you\n 1. Describe what steps you would take to address the following scenario involving skills, competence, and abilities\n The employee seems to be unable to learn the computer applications that are basic to her job responsibilities, but, consistently "tells" her boss that she is "a good worker and a genius" and that he does not "appreciate her". Even after a few months of training and support, she is unable to use the computer tools to be productive and efficient in completing the required tasks.\n 2. Describe what steps you would take to address the following scenario involving management, behavior, and performance\n The employee tends to burst into a rage when criticized and is frequently late to work as noticed by her boss and other staff members. When her boss attempts to address her behavioral issues and the company late policy, the employee's response is that she " knows her rights and what to do" if she is wrongfully discharged. She also says she took a business law class in undergrad that taught her "everything she needs to know about exceptions to the employment-at-will doctrine and wrongful discharge in violation of public policy".\n 3. Describe what steps you would take to address the following scenario involving labor and laws\n The employee takes a day off from work, without management consent, for her religious holiday observance that falls on a day that is during "tax season". The day off occurred during an incredibly busy period for the company during which the employer had notified all employees they were not allowed to take off without prior management approval. Also, there is no labor union for accountants. However, she begins talking to her co-workers during lunch breaks and sometimes during regular work hours, encouraging them to organize and form a union to "protect ourselves".\n 4. Describe what steps you would take to address the following scenario involving policies and procedures\n

SIR EDWARD HOWARD, second baronet, who has died aged 85, was the second of three generations of his family to be Lord Mayor of London.
At the time of his election in 1971 as the City's 644th mayor, Howard acknowledged that his was not a story of rags to riches: "If I was not born with a golden spoon in my mouth," he told the press, "I might describe it as a gilt edged one." In a similar vein, a colleague described him as "a blue chip off the old block".
His father Sir Seymour Howard - created a baronet in his own mayoral year, 1955 - had started life as a grocer's boy and had been a Liberal candidate and friend of Lloyd George before the Second World War.
After the war he became a prosperous stockbroker and entrepreneur, having bought Eucryl, a modest Southampton firm which made tooth powder, and expanded it by acquisition into a successful conglomerate. After Sir Seymour's death in 1967, Eucryl was merged into the London Rubber Company - later LRC International, and better known as the manufacturer of Durex contraceptives - of which Sir Edward Howard was chairman from 1971 to 1982.
As lord mayor, Howard devoted his efforts to promoting the City's role as a European financial centre. Though his manner was that of a perfect City gentleman, he was noted throughout his civic career for the independence of his opinions, and for his opposition to anything he regarded as non-essential spending by the City Corporation.
In 1966 he opposed a grant to reduce the debts of the Mermaid Theatre, and he was a longstanding critic of the Barbican development, the cost of which rose from £15 million to £50 million - a monster, he said, that had "grown like Frankenstein's". In his view, the value of City land was so high that it "could not afford residents"; nor did he think that it could afford arts festivals, and shortly before he became mayor he held out against plans to spend a further £2 million on the Barbican arts centre.
But he was defeated in a heated Guildhall debate in which a former lord mayor accused him of wanting the City to return to the middle ages, when it was "only for trade": the Corporation's motto, Domine Dirige Nos, should now read Mammon Dirige Nos, his opponent declared.
Hamilton Edward de Coucey Howard was born on October 29 1915 and succeeded to the baronetcy in 1967. He was educated at le Rosey, at Rolle in Switzerland, then at Radley and Worcester College, Oxford, where he read politics, philosophy and economics. During the Second World War Howard joined the RAFVR and was sent to Canada for training, but, by his own account, his eyesight was too weak to allow him to be a pilot and he was too tall for a rear gunner, so he found his niche as a staff officer.
On demobilisation he joined the stock exchange firm of Charles Stanley & Co, where his father had been invited by the Stanley family to become a partner. Howard was senior partner and chairman of the firm for many years, as well as chairman of Eucryl before its takeover by LRC, and of Advanced Electronics Ltd.
He became a common councilman of the City in 1951, an alderman in 1963 and Sheriff in 1966. He was one of Her Majesty's lieutenants for the City of London from 1976 to 1990. He was appointed GBE in 1972.
Howard made one notable change to City tradition. For his Lord Mayor's Banquet at Guildhall in November 1971 he yielded to pressure from environmentalists and was persuaded to drop turtle soup from the menu; Clement Freud was commissioned to invent a new soup to replace it.
Away from City ceremonial, Howard was a man of a simple tastes. He was a teetotaller, and a devoted gardener at his home on the North Downs. Much of his charitable work was also connected with gardens: he was master of the Gardeners' Company and chairman of the Gardeners' Royal Benevolent Society. He received an honorary degree from City University in 1971, and became a Knight of St John the following year.
He married, in Canada, in 1943, Elizabeth Howarth Ludlow; they had two sons. The heir to the baronetcy is his elder son, David, born in 1945, who is the current Lord Mayor of London and chairman of Charles Stanley.

People still say however that Christmas is the season for giving, there are some people out there who still firmly believe in that and take it to heart. A great example of Christmas spirit came from a former athlete. Andre Johnson recently retired from the NFL, but he is still doing it big off the field. As part of his annual tradition, Andre went out and did something amazing for needy kids.

hungry tiger too…full vegan menu!
Because I live so close to Hungry Tiger, it's an easy take-out option when I really don't feel like cooking. Well, that option just got easier. They've expanded their vegan options and now have two menus, one omni and one all-vegan-all-the-time. The prices have gone up a bit, but then again, where haven't they?
The fact that they have no website other than a Myspace page has pretty much ensured we order the same thing every time. But the other night we went in and I asked if I could borrow a menu (no paper ones to be found). And I got one. So I'm sharing it with you. I've editorialized a bit in purple text. And forgive me for any messy typing. I've tried to be as accurate as possible, but it's a big menu and I'm doing it on my dime.

text: I decided to journal Trapper's hatchlings on a new thread (see http://www.tonmo.com/community/index.php?threads/6959/ for the mother's journal and the hatchlings first 12 weeks). Another journal ends the experience with the last two surviving grandchildren. Recap summary: The Mercatoris hatchlings (does anyone know the proper name for octo babies and at what point I should call them juveniles?) began being born March 17th. Over a 5 day period, only six babies hatched. During the first week one died after climbing up the net about an inch above the waterline and apparently could not find its way back into the water. The remaining five are now approaching 13 weeks old (I changed the breeding net to one that is larger and has no netting out of the water). They rarely leave their current shell dens (but do change shells on occassion) and lie in wait for small shore shrimp and pipette fed Cyclop-eeze. Two of them will occassionally hunt the lower side of their partitioned net. In addition to the shrimp and Cyclop-eeze I have provided sailfin molly fry, snails, new hatch brine, pods and live mysis (brine, pods and mysis for the first 3 weeks only and in combination with Cyclop-eeze). The fry and snails are surviving very well on the Cyclop-eeze but the octopuses have no interest in the fish or snails as food. It is appears that they ate the brine, possibly the pods and always the Cyclop-eeze. So far, there has been no cannibalism but they are very well fed. I have recently twice found one shell firmly secured to another occupied shell but neither octopus seems to have damaged the other. I have also seen squabbles over the use of a particular shell. I keep the shells at least an inch apart and so far, everyone is alive. I plan to add a couple larger shells this week to try to avoid more arguing The net is open topped to the water but none have ventured out into the main tank. Since Mercatoris are nocturnal, it is difficult to photograph them and impossible without a flash. They do not appear to be concerned with the flash and remain visible after my attempts to capture them on film (well, electronic media).

|APEGA Summit Awards - 2014
Laricina's Saleski Pilot was recognized by the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta (APEGA) at the 24th Annual Summit Awards Gala in Edmonton on April 2014 as a recipient of the 2014 Project Achievement Award. The APEGA Summit Awards recognize leadership and excellence in the practices of engineering and/or geoscience, and the contributions these professionals make to the community. The Project Achievement Award recognizes a unique project improving conditions for society and substantially conceived and executed by Albertans. The Saleski pilot was recognized as demonstrating engineering and geoscience skills along with representing substantial contribution to technical progress and the betterment of society.
|Grand Rapids Geology
Bob Gibb, Senior Staff Geologist at Laricina discusses the Grand Rapids Geology. This video represents the first in a series describing Laricina's development at Germain.
|Germain Commercial Development Project First Steam
Start-up at the Germain Commercial Development Project (CDP) in the West Athabasca will open up an entirely new region in Alberta for oil sands production and will begin to shift roughly 150 billion barrels of bitumen from ultimate potential to established reserves. On June 8, 2013 Laricina took the first step towards this milestone by injecting first steam into the reservoir. Watch our video to learn more about the planning, development and construction of the Germain CDP.
Cyclic Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage Recovery
Cyclic Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage (C-SAGD) is a recovery method based on established thermal processes to produce bitumen from Laricina's Grosmont C and D carbonate formations. Watch our video to learn how we use a single horizontal well to inject steam into each formation and then use the same well to pump bitumen back up to the surface; using several alternating steam injection and bitumen production cycles over the life of a well.
Laricina is advancing new and innovative in situ recovery technologies through a combination of lab-based research, advanced simulation modelling and in-field testing. Watch our video to learn more about Laricina's oil sands innovations, including the development of our carbonate resource, and the use of solvents with the SAGD process.
SAGD or steam-assisted gravity drainage is highly efficient for producing bitumen from the oil sands. Watch our video to see how injected steam heats the immobile bitumen which by gravity drains to the production well and is brought back up to the surface for processing and transport.
Water is an important component of in situ oil sands recovery. We will recycle over 90% of the water used in our commercial operations. The remaining 10% is sourced from deep underground and is not fit for human or animal consumption.
Solvents such as propane are used to reduce the natural gas requirements to generate steam and improve recovery at both our Saleski and Germain projects. Laricina's Solvent-Cyclic SAGD process (SC-SAGD) maximizes bitumen recovery by varying the solvent type and rates, in combination with steam in the SAGD process.
|Reservoir Units within a Multi-Layered Dolostone Formation: Grosmont Formation, Saleski Area
Laricina's Sr. Carbonate Geologist, Kent Barrett and Dr. John Hopkins, Geology Professor, Emeritus at University of Calgary, describe the geology of Grosmont bitumen bearing zones at Laricina's Saleski Pilot. This presentation was recorded during the 2008 Canadian Society of Petroleum Geologists annual convention.
|A New Devonian Subcrop Bitumen Play
At Laricina's Germain property, the Devonian age Blueridge Member of the Winterburn Group contains a significant bitumen resource that Laricina is evaluating. This video which was recorded at the 2008 Canadian Society of Petroleum Geologists Convention shows Laricina Sr. Carbonate Geologist, Kent Barrett describing the merits of two bitumen bearing Blueridge cores from Laricina Germain wells.

Bhuteshwar Nath Mahadev where Lingam size is increasing Every Year for unknown reason
We always think that only living things grow in life but what if you get to know that natural stone also grow year by year. This is true in this case where natural stone grow and become the center of attraction for people believe and they link this with their powerful deity Shiva.
In Indian state Chhattisgarh there is village Marunda in Gariaband district located between the forest. In this place there is a natural stone also known as lingam. According to native people this is world's largest natural alive stone and the fact that belong to this is its height and width increasing itself year by year. Current height of this structure is 18 feet and circumference is around 20 feet. According to government official which takes measurement every year its height is increasing constantly approx. 6 to 8 inches per year.
According to story told by people that hundreds of years ago there was a resident landowner Sobha Singh lives in this area. At every evening Sobha Singh went in his farm to check his crops. In his field there is a specific mound shaped place from that place roaring sound of Lion and sound of bull came at regular interval. After listening specific voice several times Sobha Singh discussed this matter with villagers.
Villagers also heard this voice several times and try to discover the source of sound by discovering Lion and bull but they did not find anything. When they did not find anything then people began to believe in the mound shaped place as the lingam. The people of this village stating that the size of mound shape lingam was very small in the past.
The height and the roundness of this shape increases gradually which is still continues today. The lingam is also shown natural water source, which is coming up slowly to the ground.
This location is also known as Bhuteswaranath and Bhkura Mahadev .The religious magazine which published from Gorakhpur in 1959 state the mythical significance of this huge lingam by mentioning it on page number 408 as world's great and huge lingam.
According to legend this lingam was worshiped by the ancestors of king Chura of Bidnwagadh .Despite being located amid forests flock of tourist came here in the spring and on Shivaratri festival.
But there is a no scientific explanation for size of stone why it is increasing year by year.

A one-man play by Marco Mazza performed for one audience member at a time
In a close relationship between viewer and actor sitting at the table of a cafè, the performance investigates the world of Hamlet lying within ourselves. A tarot reading acts as an excuse to question one's ego, in a story intertwining past, present and future through cold places such as Denmark and Norway, where the Shakespearean tragedy unfolds, and then taking us back to the here and now of present time.
There will be four sessions:11am -12pm -13pm -14pm
Time:45 minutes

A Hoffman Estates man is accused of attempted murder and aggravated domestic battery after police said he beat a female relative.
Bond for Robert J. Granger, 32, of the 600 block of Hillcrest Boulevard, was set at $750,000 in Cook County Circuit Court this morning in the case.
According to a police news release, officers were called to an address on the same block early Sunday morning amid reports of a woman screaming for help. Police said they observed through a window a woman being beaten and could also hear her cries for help. Police forced their way into the home and arrested Granger, while the woman was taken to the hospital with "severe injuries," the release said.

"Did you ever feel like an alien who somehow became stranded on a planet called Earth where nothing seemed to make any sense?" A quote from "Ming The Merciless"
Recovering from civilization can be brutal but neccessary if we are to become truly free from it's influence. Kick the civilization habit here!
The Condition Of Our ConditionArticles on the Human condition and how we might improve it.
We question whether our single minded focus on the materialiatic explanation of reality hasn't deprivedus of an even greater opportunity to explore a vast territory of undreamed of possibilities.
With the aid of science and our ability to imagine, our minds are able to take us back to any point in time, and if we go back to when the Human species was very young and inexperienced and imagine the environment our ancestors lived in, we can make some pretty reliable inferences.
For example; in the relatively safe and secure world of today, the idea of the here and now is just an interesting exercise related to meditation. But back then, if you took a walk outside the cave and let your mind wander from the here and now for an instant, you would likely end up a meal for the neighbors. So there was no great environmental pressure for the evolution of the abstract mind that early in Human history.
I would be willing to bet that the rise of the abstract mind was in direct relation to the Human mastery over the environment and the other life forms on the world by virtue of the Human brain and social organization and collaboration. The reason for this is that slowly over time it made the everyday struggle for survival easier and safer. Which in turn gave us more time to consider and explore the mysteries of our world, ourselves, of life and our place in the scheme of it all.
Exploring mysteries is difficult without first becoming aware of them, and so curiosity could now be entertained, and asking questions would inevitably lead to the question 'what if ?' and this is when our mind's ability to wonder began to develop the other abilities of imagination and visualization. All three of which would eventually open the door to infinite possibilities. But in the early days it was probably easier to go with what could be easily verifiable by our direct senses, but also, back then the concepts of the power of belief and faith may not have been widespread. So, the material world was the easiest way to go.
In fact, there is a good chance that it was during this same time that many of the obstacles to exploring the unknown may have come about through fear and undeveloped thinking ability. Obstacles such as superstition, the result of misinterpretation of perceptions of reality. Thankfully throughout history, there have always been a few who had the courage to listen to their own song of life rather than the collective version which is almost always the product of fear.
Ignorance breeds superstition and ignorance is a natural state that can only be changed through the power of thought. Thinking ability does not develop automatically. The accurate processing of thoughts is learned by effort and practice, which explains why ignorance has so long held sway in Human history. Not to mention that there have always been a few who after acquiring a certain level of thinking skills found it to their advantage not to spread this knowledge around much. This of course was about power and control and led to a good many people being killed who wanted to share this knowledge.
Too much ignorance for too long creates an environment where irrational fear can conscript the power of emotions to create superstitions and carry out agendas rationalized and justified by those superstitions. This was the situation behind the inquisition and the burning of innocent Humans after labeling them by a fearful term such as witch during the dark ages. Ignorance is responsible for extinguishing more life on this world than any other condition. Therefore, ignorance is, always was, and always will be, the greatest enemy of life on earth.
With time and the continued acquisition of knowledge came mastery over the material world. Connecting the dots we could see and infer those we could not, began to build a larger and larger pool of knowledge from which the Human mind could draw more and more material to feed the imagination in order to explore the limitless creative possibilities.
But all this was confined to the material world, the world without. The world within has been long neglected. But now the investigation of the material world is beginning to reveal small indications that the spiritual Human may possess undreamed of power and potential across yet unknown realities where even space/time are no longer relevant. A world within which the material world is contained and by which the material world is created.
The world of spiritual energy finds expression through the Human mind when the mind organizes that energy into thoughts which in turn are organized into actions and or feelings which in turn are manifested in the objective world we call physical reality that our physical senses detect and experience, that is, after our mind instructs them regarding what to expect.
There is of course more than one liability that comes with materialism. But by far the most critical was and is the fact that by its very nature it precludes the exploration of the inner world, the spiritual Human power. To be clear, when we speak here of the spirit or the spiritual, we do not refer to, associate with or relate in any way to the concept of religion.
One of the most ironic aspects of the story of which way the Human species chose to take, is the part about how we could have missed the fact that without mind, the material world could not exist. All material reality is built from, and maintained by mind. The exploration and creation of the material world, which is called science, seems to be slowly bringing Humanity full circle back to its origins, the mind. Will we finally turn our gaze upon the lost frontier? And when we do, what might be there waiting for us to discover? And are we ready for what waits there?
One thing is clear. The materialistic view and perception of reality has and is now revealing consequences that our minds were too immature to foresee. The concept of exploiting, producing and consuming material resources for strange dysfunctional purposes, is now coming back to haunt us. Our minds were not yet developed enough to think the materialistic reality through completely, or we would have foreseen all that is happening in our physical world now.
There is no question that the evolution of the Human mind has been retarded, and there may be many reasons why that is. In fact, there is a wisdom long held that goes 'we only receive what we are ready to possess'. However, the advent of the nuclear age into a civilization of adolescent Humans makes that horse crap. But maybe the material world and the spiritual world have different rules and laws. We just don't know because we haven't yet seriously taken on this challenge.
Where the evolution of the Human mind is concerned we may well be in or infancy. And ready or not the Human species better step it up in this area of exploration, because it may also be our only hope to survive the mistake of neglecting this critical undiscovered world.

Highway chiefs have already used nearly half of their winter stocks of salt, despite bringing in record amount.
Forecasters have predicted that the big freeze will continue well past Christmas, prompting a number of councils across the west of England to ration their supplies of grit.
Wiltshire's head of road services said 7,000 tonnes of the 13,700 tonnes ordered have already been used, and expressed concerns that stocks are running low. The council has now asked for extra supplies from the national reserve.
Graeme Hay, manager of the council's highways department, told the Western Daily Press: "We're going to have to be cautious in our approach.
"We will put down sufficient to do the job, but not too much."
In Somerset, the highways team, which has used 2,000 tonnes of grit over the last two weeks, has asked the Government to provide more supplies.
In Plymouth, only major routes have been gritted with supplies beginning to run low, but the council received a new delivery of salt earlier in the week.

Our foster care program, in Cartersville, GA, is taking donations for precious special needs foster children so they may have a very special holiday this year!
Want to help but live too far away? You can donate online at www.Meritan.org and designate for the Cartersville, GA office!
Here's a bit from an article in their local newspaper...... or you can read it all here.
"With Christmas around the corner, Bartow County Division of Family and Children Services and Meritan Inc. are reaching out to the public to help meet the wish lists of more than 300 youth in state custody.
To support Meritan's efforts to assist 62 foster care children, area residents can select an ornament adorning the Christmas tree at Swheat Market Deli, 5 E. Main St. in Cartersville. Along with the children's first names, the ornaments contain their ages and desired presents.
"We are a specialized foster care, meaning that we take children that have behavioral needs or medical needs," said Shemaria Garcia, recruiter trainer for Meritan. "... The foster parents get training mostly to ensure that they are meeting the needs of the kids.
"We have children [with] ages ranging from ... [7 months to 21 years], so we have a wide range of children in our care. We do also have families that take medically fragile children that may be wheelchair bound. Several of our families also in the process will adopt a child that's in their home."
Once purchased, the gifts — totaling $50 to $75 — need to be delivered to Meritan, 920-A N. Tennessee St. in Cartersville, by Friday. In addition to donating gifts, area residents also can sponsor a child for Christmas, by making a donation of $10, $25 or $50."

See, I might be some kind of lunatic, but I think my life, or my neighbor's life, or the life of some dude or gal halfway across the state that I've never met, is just as important a life as any cop, or politician, or any other great and wonderful Poohbah. If it's such a good tool for the purpose it was built, then it's just as perfectly built to help me defend myself as it is for anybody else, employment notwithstanding.
Me, I think cops SHOULD have ARs in their arsenals, and you know what... I know a lot of cops that feel the same way about me. Unfortunately, their bosses don't, and when the rubber meets the road, these are the poor saps you guys are going to try to march out and round up all the scary, icky bad ARs. And a few of us won't be so accommodating.
GHARB!! We need better health treatment!! They need doctors!!!
Doctor: Here, you need to take these to help with your mental health issues. Pfizer made this just for you.
Side effects include bleeding from the eyes, restless leg syndrome, compulsive gambling and fits of homicidal rage. Ask you doctor if WhargMahrgLargAMaGhard® is right for you.
I'll save you the google search, here's one of my classmates.
This is grandstanding nonsense, who has stated anyone's life is of lesser value? You're entitled to your opinion about what firearms you think are best, no one has stated they will round people up and take their AR's.
James Yeager learned his lesson for acting like a moron.
Prince Andy made his (in)famous speech where he declared "confiscation is an option", and then while 'grandstanding' (to use the parlance of the times) he stated that the NYSafe Act (requiring registration) was "an important first step".You're entitled to your opinion about what firearms you think are best, no one has stated they will round people up and take their AR's.
Insults and intimidation. Now I'm positive you work for the govt. (or possibly Scientology)James Yeager learned his lesson for acting like a moron.
Banning Ars as you have suggested has no real effect on crime. You know it. I know it. The people who wrote the law know it. There's no real decrease in criminal activity with "assault weapons" coming from this new ban, other than to make previously law-abiding citizens into criminals. It's all just a big exploitation of emotionally charged times, and a power-grab. There's only two types on the other side of this one in my book, those who are complicit in the exploitation and their sycophants. You can't have conversation with those who want to get rid of certain "icky" guns, they've already decided that their emotions on the subject trump any real discussion of costs insued and progress gained by any such new laws. All ****ing emotion. That's why they try to ram new laws like this on the heels of tragedy. Rahm Emmanuel said it himself, "never let a tragedy go to waste". Your side is determined to make this some sort of showdown. Try to spare me the faux surprise and indignation when someone actually stands up for what is there's. It might be an odd sight in America these days, but it's due for a revival. You know what? There might not be as many as I suspect, who will stand and say "I will keep what's mine." But there won't be as few as you suspect either.

From your article:
These kids were lucky and the article jumps to a conclusion, no? These kids assume the barrel of a empty rifle made them leave. Assumptions are now conclusions?Nothing was taken and no shots were fired.
The rifle was not loaded at the time of the home invasion, according to Raymond.
Libs love leaving out relevant facts that don't fit their illusionary viewpoint...
also from the article:
On that same night, approximately 5 hours previous, two U of R students faced a similar situation. They we're unarmed. They, consequently, we're robbed.Rochester, N.Y. Early Tuesday morning, Christopher Boise heard a noise coming from the basement. As he walked toward the source of that noise, the RIT student noticed two men standing in the downstairs portion of his apartment.
"They were waiting for me at the bottom of the stairs," said Boise.
One of them had a handgun trained on Boise.
Within moments, Boise screamed. His cries were heard by his roommate, Raymond.
"It wasn't like a, 'I stepped by stepped on a piece of glass' kind of scream," Raymond said. "So, I instinctively went to my gun bag."
Raymond owns an AR-15 which is a military style rifle.
Raymond estimated that just five seconds passed until the door started to open. It was one of the intruders.
"By the time I had it out and ready, one of the men came at my door, slowly opened it, saw that there was a barrel on the other side and from there backed out," Raymond said.
The two men fled the apartment.

Also - what are your thoughts on the LA riots of the early 90s, when there were neighborhoods the cops had abandoned and shopkeepers were left on their own? A lot of them had assault type weapons.
i love how the ar15 is now targeted by every ignorant gun hater as the one that is the most dangerous of all "assault" variants, meanwhile, there are probably 20 or 30 other rifles that are virtually identical in firepower, capacity, looks etc.
these, you dont hear about. probably because those who want the ar15 banned really dont have a clue about guns in general.
hanguns kill. not ar15s
I have no doubt that given the opportunity Barry and the rest of the gun control loons would do the same on a national scale.

difference betwen theory based solutions and numeric for heat tansfer
hi guys i have a problem with my basic analysis
my case is a simple recalculation of 2d puiseulle flow with numerical. i have surface domain 1m x 40m and i made laminar flow inside with changing velocity inlet. i added constant heat flux at top and bottom wall with same value, for example 10w/m2.
i expected that average outlet temperature have same value with calculated from theoritical equation. but it was not same.
M^dot(mass flow inlet) x Cp x (Toutlet - Tinlet) =Qdot(heat flux) x A (area)
in this equation with known mass flow inlet, Cp, heat flux and Tinlet, Toutlet can be calculated. But, calculating outlet temperature in cfd-post with drawing line at outlet and using calculator for average temp. at this line is not give same value with theory above.
so, what i still have missed, it is a very basic convection relation and it has to be give same results with any simple numerical case
it is spelled
How did you calculate the outlet average temperature?
Just to give you a tip, the left hand side of your energy balance is a thermodynamic relation, i.e. the temperatures there are Equilibrium Temperatures.

When I saw the weather forecast for Sunday, Easter, a quiet day when I had absolutely nothing lined up to do, I immediately knew I wanted to spend the day outside. My weather app promised sunshine, 14ºC (57ºF). Maybe I should have stuck my arm out my front door to feel the not-14ºC weather, but I was optimistic. The sun was shining (that wasn't a lie), which fooled me into thinking it was much warmer than it actually turned out to be. I picked my warm weather outfit accordingly: Black Keds with no socks. Black, ankle-grazing skinny pants. Black and white Buffalo plaid shirt. Cool necklace. Spritz of perfume. Sunscreen, mascara, blush, lipbalm. Boom. Nailed it.
The point is, I wanted to go on a picnic (and just like that, we've arrived at the food).
I predicted it would be a quieter day in wine country due to it being Easter, and therefore, I could score a picnic table without any trouble. In about 45 minutes, I had made this cold noodle salad, got myself together, threw a blanket in my vehicle, filled a mason jar with water (and a baby mason jar with sriracha for the noodles – life essentials), tossed in a slice of French chestnut apple "sweet pizza" I had made the night before for dessert, sent a text (or three) and captured someone to bring along. They didn't know what we were doing, where we were going or what I had planned. Things were going so well. I felt so…spontaneous.
And then we arrived in beautiful Ontario wine country, right at the lake, scrambling for sunglasses because there wasn't a cloud in the sky. Parked, we took one step outside and turned into marble statues due to an icy gust of wind that continued throughout our meal.
But we were having this picnic, dammit. There was no need to lug around heavy ice packs, because, well, the weather. And, of course, there was no problem finding a free picnic table because it was freezing cold outside. While we watched the choppy, icy waves with the sunshiny blue sky that went on forever, we ate our noodles, shivering, with our hands conveniently frozen into the fork-holding position. The obvious remedy to the cold was a hot drink, which happened, followed by a wine tasting at a gorgeous vineyard (indoors, clearly).
Maybe next Easter weekend, regardless of what the liars at the weather centre say, I'll make this super-packable, super-delicious, sweet-salty-umami cold noodle salad, capture an unsuspecting guest, eat in the freezing cold spring wind by the lake and finish the day by getting gently buzzed (semi-drunk) at a wine tasting. I'm not into traditional, anyways.
- ½ pound (8 ounces) spelt spaghetti or gluten-free brown rice spaghetti or buckwheat soba noodles

- ½ teaspoon ground dried ginger
- Sesame seeds, for serving (optional)
- Sriracha sauce, for serving (optional)
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook noodles (pasta) according to package directions, adding asparagus in last minute of cooking. Drain, rinse with cold water until chilled, and drain again. Add cooked noodles and asparagus to a large bowl along with tofu and basil.
- In a medium bowl, whisk all dressing ingredients until combined. Add to noodle mixture and toss gently to mix (use your hands for best results). Chill until ready to serve or up to 2 days. Serve with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and hit of sriracha sauce, if using.
