Diagenesis significantly impacts mudstone lithofacies. Processes operating to control diagenetic pathways in mudstones are poorly known compared to analogous processes occurring in other sedimentary rocks. Selected organic-carbon-rich mudstones, from the Kimmeridge Clay and Monterey Formations, have been investigated to determine how varying starting compositions influence diagenesis.
Umiat field in northern Alaska is a shallow, light-oil accumulation with an estimated original oil in place of more than 1.5 billion bbl and 99 bcf associated gas. The field, discovered in 1946, was never considered viable because it is shallow, in permafrost, and far from any infrastructure. Modern drilling and production techniques now make Umiat a more attractive target if the behavior of a rock, ice, and light oil system at low pressure can be understood and simulated.
The Umiat reservoir consists of shoreface and deltaic sandstones of the Cretaceous Nanushuk Formation deformed by a thrust-related anticline. Depositional environment imparts a strong vertical and horizontal permeability anisotropy to the reservoir that may be further complicated by diagenesis and open natural fractures.
Experimental and theoretical studies indicate that there is a significant reduction in the relative permeability of oil in the presence of ice, with a maximum reduction when connate water is fresh and less reduction when water is saline. A representative Umiat oil sample was reconstituted by comparing the composition of a severely weathered Umiat fluid to a theoretical Umiat fluid composition derived using the Pedersen method. This sample was then used to determine fluid properties at reservoir conditions such as bubble point pressure, viscosity, and density.
These geologic and engineering data were integrated into a simulation model that indicate recoveries of 12%–15% can be achieved over a 50-yr production period using cold gas injection from five well pads with a wagon-wheel configuration of multilateral wells.
The presence of hydrocarbon-bearing sandstones within the Eocene of the Forties area was first documented in 1985, when a Forties field (Paleocene) development well discovered the Brimmond field. Further hydrocarbons in the Eocene were discovered in the adjacent Maule field in 2009. Reservoir geometry derived from three-dimensional seismic data has provided evidence for both a depositional and a sand injectite origin for the Eocene sandstones. The Brimmond field is located in a deep-water channel complex that extends to the southeast, whereas the Maule field sandstones have the geometry of an injection sheet on the updip margin of the Brimmond channel system with a cone-shape feature emanating from the top of the Forties Sandstone Member (Paleocene). The geometry of the Eocene sandstones in the Maule field indicates that they are intrusive and originated by the fluidization and injection of sand during burial. From seismic and borehole data, it is unclear whether the sand that was injected to form the Maule reservoir was derived from depositional Eocene sandstones or from the underlying Forties Sandstone Member. These two alternatives are tested by comparing the heavy mineral and garnet geochemical characteristics of the injectite sandstones in the Maule field with the depositional sandstones of the Brimmond field and the Forties sandstones of the Forties field.
The study revealed significant differences between the sandstones in the Forties field and those of the Maule and Brimmond fields), both in terms of heavy mineral and garnet geochemical data. The Brimmond-Maule and Forties sandstones therefore have different provenances and are genetically unrelated, indicating that the sandstones in the Maule field did not originate by the fluidization of Forties sandstones. By contrast, the provenance characteristics of the depositional Brimmond sandstones are closely comparable with sandstone intrusions in the Maule field. We conclude that the injectites in the Maule field formed by the fluidization of depositional Brimmond sandstones but do not exclude the important function of water from the huge underlying Forties Sandstone Member aquifer as the agent for developing the fluid supply and elevating pore pressure to fluidize and inject the Eocene sand. The study has demonstrated that heavy mineral provenance studies are an effective method of tracing the origin of injected sandstones, which are increasingly being recognized as an important hydrocarbon play.
Interpretation of seismic data from the Sorvestsnaget Basin, southwest Barents Sea, demonstrates gradual middle Eocene basin infilling (from the north) generated by southward-prograding shelf-margin clinoforms. The basin experienced continued accommodation development during the middle Eocene because of differential subsidence caused by the onset of early Eocene sea-floor spreading in the Norwegian-Greenland Sea, faulting, salt movement, and different tectonic activity between the Sorvestsnaget Basin and Veslemoy high. During this time, the margin shows transformation from an initially high-relief margin to a progradation in the final stage. The early stage of progradation is characterized by the establishment of generally oblique clinoform shifts creating a flat shelf-edge trajectory that implies a gentle falling or stable relative sea level and low accommodation-to-sediment supply ratio (1) in the topsets. During the early stage of basin development, the high-relief margin, narrow shelf, stable or falling relative sea level, seismicity, and presumably high sedimentation rate caused accumulation of thick and areally extensive deep-water fans. Seismic-scale sandstone injections deform the fans.
A fully prograding margin developed when the shelf-to-basin profile lowered, apparently because of increased subsidence of the northern part. This stage of the basin development is generally characterized by the presence of sigmoid clinoform shifts creating an ascending shelf-edge trajectory that is implying steady or rising relative sea level with an accommodation-to-sediment supply ratio of greater than 1, implying sand accumulation on the shelf. This study suggests that some volume of sand was transported into the deep water during relative sea level rise considering the narrow shelf and inferred high rates of sediment supply.
Bulletin E P Note
The petroleum trap for the Athabasca oil sands has remained elusive because it was destroyed by flexural loading of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin during the Late Cretaceous and Paleocene. The original trap extent is preserved because the oil was biodegraded to immobile bitumen as the trap was being charged during the Late Cretaceous. Using well and outcrop data, it is possible to reconstruct the Cretaceous overburden horizons beyond the limit of present-day erosion. Sequential restoration of the reconstructed horizons reveals a megatrap at the top of the Wabiskaw-McMurray reservoir in the Athabasca area at 84 Ma (late Santonian). The megatrap is a four-way anticline with dimensions 285 x 125 km (177 x 78 mi) and maximum amplitude of 60 m (197 ft). The southeastern margin of the anticline shows good conformance to the bitumen edge for 140 km (87 mi). To the northeast of the anticline, bitumen is present in a shallower trap domain in what is interpreted to be an onlap trap onto the Canadian Shield; leakage along the onlap edge is indicated by tarry bitumen outliers preserved in basement rocks farther to the northeast. Peripheral trap domains that lie below the paleospillpoint, in northern, southern, and southwestern Athabasca, and Wabasca, are interpreted to represent a late charge of oil that was trapped by bitumen already emplaced in the anticline and the northeastern onlap trap. This is consistent with kimberlite intrusions containing live bitumen, which indicate that the northern trap domain was charged not before 78 Ma. The trap restoration has been tested using bitumen-water contact well picks. The restored picks fall into groups that are consistent both with the trap domains determined from the top reservoir restoration and the conceptual charge model in which the four-way anticline was filled first, followed by the northeastern onlap trap, and then the peripheral trap domains.
Bulletin Geologic Note
Offshore sequences of volcaniclastic rocks (such as hyaloclastite deposits) are poorly understood in terms of their rock properties and their response to compaction and burial. As petroleum exploration targets offshore volcanic rifted margins worldwide, understanding of volcanic rock properties becomes important both in terms of drilling and how the rocks may behave as seals, reservoirs, or permeability pathways. The Hawaiian Scientific Drilling Project phase II in 2001 obtained a 3 km-(2-mi)-long core of volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks that records the emergence of the largest of the Hawaiian islands. Core recovery of 2945 m (9662 ft) resulted in an unparalleled data set of volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks. Detailed logging, optical petrology, and major element analysis of two sections at depths 1831–1870 and 2530–2597 m (6007–6135 and 8300–8520 ft) are compared to recovered petrophysical logs (gamma ray, resistivity, and P-wave velocity). This study concludes deviation in petrophysical properties does not seem to correlate to changes in grain size or clast sorting, but instead correlates with alteration type (zeolite component) and bulk mineralogy (total olivine phenocryst percentage component). These data sets are important in helping to calibrate well-log responses through hyaloclastite intervals in areas of active petroleum exploration such as the North Atlantic (e.g., Faroe-Shetland Basin, United Kingdom, and Faroe Islands, the Norwegian margin and South Atlantic margins bordering Brazil and Angola).

SONAR, historical and aerial photographs, and vibracoring were used to assess the type and thickness distribution of sediments impounded by Gold Ray Dam on the Rogue River in southern Oregon. From these data, a volume of about 400,000 cubic yards (
) of sediment was determined for the inundated area of the reservoir.
Overall, sediment volumes in the impounded part of the reservoir were less than expected. There are three possibilities that may explain the perceived absence of sediment: (1) the gradient of the Rogue River in this stretch is less, and therefore sediment yields are less; (2) the extraction of gravels and/or other impediments upstream decreased the availability of sediments delivered into the reservoir; and/or (3) sediment was deposited by a prograding delta that filled in the inundated area of the floodplain upstream from Gold Ray Dam. The amount of sediment deposited on this inundated floodplain may have been as much as 1,800,000 cubic yards (), bringing the total amount of sediment impounded by Gold Ray Dam to yards ().
Applied sedimentology is not only vital to developing a depositional model for the filling of a reservoir, but also providing insights into depositional and erosional changes that will occur upon the removal of a dam. In particular, the processes of delta formation, reoccupation of abandoned channels, and avulsion are paramount in determining sediment accumulation and distribution in reservoirs.

Deltaic depositional facies result from interacting dynamics processes (wave energy, tidal regime, currents, climate, etc.), which modify and disperse riverborne (fluvial) clastic deposits.
Sequence stratigraphy is the study of genetically related facies within a framework of chronostratigraphically significant surfaces. Paleontologic data, integrated with seismic and well log data, are an integral part of sequence stratigraphic analysis.
Pore type, pore geometry, and fluid properties are critical factors affecting permeability. Sandstone texture directly affects pore type and geometry. Knowing what textures and fluids to expect, as well as what authigenic clays might be present, can help us predict permeability
Solar energy is the use of direct sunlight, the solar energy arriving on Earth. Direct sunlight can be used for two main purposes: for heating and cooling and for the generation of electricity.
Seismic facies analysis is the description and interpretation of seismic reflection parameters, such as configuration, continuity, amplitude, and frequency, within the stratigraphic framework of a depositional sequence.
Coal is a readily combustible rock containing more than 50% by weight and more than 70% by volume of carbonaceous material, including inherent moisture.
An oil shale is defined as a fine-grained sedimentary rock that contains a high proportion of endogenous organic matter (kerogen) mostly insoluble in ordinary petroleum solvents, from which substantial amounts of synthetic oil and/or gas can be extracted by heating it to a sufficiently high temperature, a process called retorting. Oil shales have a low calorific value and high ash and mineral content.
Hydroelectric power is, as of 2005, the second largest source of electricity in the world (18%) after coal, which supplies about 38%, but ahead of nuclear power, natural gas, and oil, which contribute 17, 16, and 10%, respectively, of the total generated electricity.
Gas hydrates (also called gas clathrates) are icelike, crystalline solids composed of natural-gas molecules, principally methane, trapped in rigid crystalline cages formed by frozen water molecules.

Sandy Alderson watched former San Francisco Giants closer Brian Wilson in a private workout Saturday, according to USA Today's Bob Nightengale.
However, Mike Puma of the New York Post confirmed the Mets are not likely to pursue the one-time closer, "Alderson said he's not sure the Mets will extend Wilson an offer."
Fueling that is the fact Wilson wants a major league deal and the Mets are still only doling out minor league deals until further notice.
Wilson is returning from Tommy John surgery and will reportedly be ready for the start of the season.
I thought Wilson would be a good target for the Mets which you can read below,…
Original Post
The San Francisco Giants declined to tender a one-year contract to their former closer, Brian Wilson, thus making him a free agent as he recovers from a second ligament-replacement surgery on his right elbow.
Wilson, 30, earned $8.5 million during his injury-shortened 2012 season, and according to CBA rules could not be tendered less than $6.8 million for the 2013 season.
The Giants will try to sign him for a lower price, but Wilson has hinted that he prefers to move on and sign with a new team after learning he would be non-tendered.
Before his injury shortened 2012 season, Wilson went 6-4 with a 3.11 ERA and 36 saves in 57 appearances in 2011 for the Giants.
The three-time All-Star was one of the league's most dominant closers before his elbow problems, but given the incredible advances with Tommy John Surgery, I wouldn't be averse to giving him a shot to close for the Mets.
The procedure is not as scary and career threatening as it once was, and some pitchers are back on a mound in as little as seven months after surgery with no loss in velocity.
With Wilson most likely looking for a chance to close on a one year deal to establish his value, the Mets might be just the opportunity he'd be looking for.

With a 10-7 lead over Louisville heading into the third quarter, Kentucky needed to pour it on, or at least trot out something resembling an offense. Instead, the Wildcats finished the third quarter with zero yards of total offense as Louisville took a 17-10 lead.

The San Diego Padres signed Orlando Hudson to a two-year, $11.5 million contract before the 2011 season.
This turned out to be not a great idea. Hudson posted a .681 OPS (94 OPS+) in 2011, and was declining this year, hitting .211/.260/.317 through 35 games and 123 at-bats (63 OPS+). The Padres decided on Thursday that they'd had enough:
Hearing Orlando Hudson has been designated for assignment— keithlaw (@keithlaw) May 17, 2012
The Padres owe Hudson about $6 million -- about $4 million left on this year's contract, and a $2 million buyout of a 2013 team option. And all this on a day when this was tweeted:
Only NL 3 players who have hit HR against all 30 clubs: Jim Thome, Alfonso Soriano and Orlando Hudson. @cantpredictball— Kazuto Yamazaki (@LaBlynne) May 17, 2012
Hudson has 91 career home runs. Oh, and as of Thursday he's also leading the National League in triples, with five.

Album Rating: 1.0Yeah, I had my first review of this deleted and re-wrote it to ultimately redeam myself. I still didn't talk very psotively about this but I think I justified myself much better.
Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound OffI'm just going to skip the whole thing on "justifying your court review with this review" and just vote. :D
Album Rating: 2.0So what if there's only barre chords or power chords? Alot of Metallica is just power chords and then a solo or two. And as for the statement about Bush, the public, and album consumption, that's just stupid, really. And patronizing. Well written, but really... yeah. This Message Edited On 07.12.06
Album Rating: 1.0Bron, true but Metallica also has lots of graet riffs, bridges and interludes in a majority of there songs. And as for buch etc. that's just how I feel abou the band. Patronizing or not.
Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound OffBut Green Day on here (for being pop-punk) scored some riffs of their own. American Idiot featured a catchy well executed riff. Holiday did as well. For the genre it was a decent album as far as instrumentals.
Album Rating: 2.0[quote=metallicaman8]Bron, true but yadda yadda[/quote]
That's not the point, though. There are only a few veiled and vague references to Bush throughout....And justice For All is far more blatantly political, and it gets just as gobbled up by the public. Musically, simplistic songs are often derided as talentless, but it takes alot more talent to write a simple, great pop or rock song than it does to shred up a storm.This Message Edited On 07.12.06
Album Rating: 3.0This album is just alright by now. I wish they would play how they used to. The story is neat, but the songs got overplayed way too much and arent too great anymore. I still love "Jesus of Suburbia", though.
Good review. You proved your points pretty well, even though I dont agree with all of them.
Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound Off[quote]Musically, simplistic songs are often derided as talentless, but it takes alot more talent to write a simple, great pop or rock song than it does to shred up a storm.[/quote
Here's an analogy that should get most people's attention:
Which is easier? Getting a woman to climax, or masturbating?
Writing consistent, catchy hooks and memorable riffs is a hell of a lot harder than just picking up a guitar and wanking the crap out of your favorite scale.
Album Rating: 2.0Exactly.
Album Rating: 3.0Since there's nine reviews now one will have to be kicked probably. :-
I still don't like your review, but it was well-written and a lot better than that other review of this you did.This Message Edited On 07.12.06

One of the dumbest things I've ever read ever. Especially taking into account Metallicaman8 is from Canada. By the way, I notice that your album rating for this just rapidly changed from a 4.5 to a 2. What trends are you subscribing to?This Message Edited On 07.12.06
If you americans hate him so much why did you vote him in for a second time?
Album Rating: 3.0 | Sound OffIf you americans hate him so much why did you vote him in for a second time?
Besides the fact that most of us didn't (conspiracy theory) there is an unrepresented amount of uptight hillbillys/republicans in this country. I'm not old enough to vote anyways.
EDIT: Oh yeah, and I'm subsribing to the Bron trend on this one.This Message Edited On 07.12.06
Album Rating: 3.0[quote=iluvatar]There are 10 reviews to be exact, Kripes. Fun, eh?[/quote]That means it's your turn now, lulu. :p
the comment was directed to anyone who can explain this trend of "bush hatred"
I myself am not what you would call a bush fan.
but the whole "phase" of hating bush, as metallicaman8 put it, has become popular culture, any ten year old who listens to green day can hate bush and not even know why they hate him.
Album Rating: 2.0... I have a trend? DanJoe, perhaps some elaboration?
.This Message Edited On 07.12.06
Album Rating: 3.0 | Sound OffNow that was well put. I myself have been in the presence of kids who hate on bush, but can't name his vice president.
You still didn't respond to the dramatic lowering of your rating though. Whats that about?
EDIT: It was just a [not]clever way of saying I agree.This Message Edited On 07.12.06
Album Rating: 3.0I was watching MTV's Summer Hit List: You and a guy was on there and the video for "Holiday" was going to come on and the guy said Green Day is punk at it's finest.
Babies died at my hands then, not really, but I did kick my brother in the nads.

Exterior with the exception of the front looks OK and a evolution of the original. The front however looks awful IMHO…
Interior a good step forward. Before anyone gets behind the wheel you know it will be a nice drive though…
I have to agree.
The back doesn't look as bad as the old model's did. Although maybe I have just become used to it.
But the front just doesn't work at all.
Interior looks nice though and I suppoese that's where you will be spending your time if you own one.
BMW has completely lost it – this new corporate look is just wrong, bland and boring. I'm actually surprised that they managed to make 1 series uglier then before, what an achievement, but then again people buying these cars only look at the badge so can't really see sales suffering.
More analysis has made me conclude that the headlights are placed strangely and, as anyone would say, are a funny shape…
I really have to admit, the new BMW corporate face does not work well here. And neither do the VW Polo tailights. They havent even changed the profile of the car.
Nice interior, slightly boring… but nice never the less.
… but whats with that HUGE nose job???
The front looks good although it could do with bigger grills.
The rear looks okay but too similar to a polo!
Overall, a HUGE step up from the current 1 in the aesthetics department.
Oh dear, front lights way to big
What has been seen cannot be unseen! Hideous front end, it's like an X1 shrunk in the sun
X1 meets mini 5GT. Odd looks.
Do they need to bring bangle back?
It seems there a lot of people disappointed because it is an obvious improvement.
It would be nice to drive a brand that made other people jealous.
It would be nice to kick you in the face, however I shall refrain and let you drive your 120d with 19″ Alloys back to the Coffee Club.
Vibe, How is your anger management course going?? I never seem to understand the abuse people cop just for having their say or opinion. P.S. Vibe, there is no 120d at this stage. And btw, what do you drive to the Fight Club???
Seeing as BMW have just recently registered "M2″ as a trademark I wonder if we'll see these cars badged as the "2 series". Given that they are bigger than the current 1 series it kind of makes sense.
Or, given that the 6 Series are coupe bodies on (modified) 5 Series platforms maybe the hatch will stay as 1 Series and the coupe will be 2 Series.
135i convertible is AUS$ 40,873 in the US.
here, $76K before LCT, and stamp duty
we have been fooled in to thinking these cars are worth this much, and the importers are not passing on the decreased cost from our rising Aus dollar. But we keep buying them
Everything is cheaper in the US. A Ralph Lauren shirt that will cost you $160 here is $50 there. You can subscribe to most magazines for $15/year. Netflix gives you unlimited movies online for $8/month. Over Christmas, there was outrage that the average price of 'gas' had gone over $3/gallon (3.8 litres), with people saying it would ruin their holidays – it is now up to $3.80/gallon, I'm not sure how the country hasn't collapsed.
Economics of scale
wrong John. That's just one of the excuses the importers put out. They even admit they charge what the market will pay. And we are willing to pay a lot more than most, so they charge it. Well, everyone else is overcharging as well.
Sorry bud, weak arguement – the same items are also cheaper in places like Singapore and Malaysia.
Exterior: That hideous headlights…is the descendant of Bangle coming up with this design? The backlights are almost strikingly from current VW Polo
Interior: Looks nice and clean. Vast improvement over the predecessor
Well, lets be kind and say it wont be mistaken for anything else on the road…(except perhaps from the rear where is does look a lot like a polo).
Hopefully they have liberated more room in the rear and boot, the current model is basically a 2+2.
Its completely and utterly FUGLY, how are people even saying it looks ok let alone good? What has the world come to..
VW called, they want the rear end off their Polo back…
It's much nicer, and if it's roomier in the back, it will win over some of those who favoured a fwd competitor over the old model.
WOW, can't afford to buy it
less mazda 3, more vw polo…
Nah, the proportions are almost purely Alfa 147… But the detail is all wrong. So very wrong.
Revealed online because they could not afford enough buckets for the vomit there hideous
I think the main problem is that they haven't tried hard enough to integrate the grille into the design (with the navy model, at least). It simply looks like they've just slapped on a pair of stickers a la a bad faux-BMW mod.
If BMW could design something as pretty as the 7-Series, why have they given us this piece of *THING*. The front looks like a monster. The interior is nice but bland.
Ugly ugly ugly, and people thought a Lexus ct 200h was ugly. This is terrible.
Why the hell have they tried to cram a 7 series face onto a much smaller car? The front just doesn't work for me. Maybe we need to see it in the flesh…
VW Polo Taillights though.
Such an overpriced car when compared to other German offerings.
damn this thing is fugly
The headlights have been installed upside down! Flip em up the other way and they work quite well!
That's exactly what I thought!
Have owned a 1series – good small car – the revised interior looks great – BUT – the new exterior front is a step backwards – those lights are so oversized – hope this is not a warning of what the new 3series nose will look like…
Very hard to judge until seen in the flesh , iam a fan of the big aggressive BMW front , but how it works on the smaller models , well lets wait till one is seen on the move.
bangel, get real. If Holden styled a car like this you'd laugh your backside off.
That second last pic in the gallery reminds me of the green pigs on angry birds…
I have a 1er and I bought it not because of it's badge or how it looks, it's how it drives. They're a sports car made practical as opposed to competitors who make a practical car sporty. Take one on a drive through the hills and you'll be hooked!
I had one as a loaner for a day and confirm it was indeed a lovely handling little thing. Pedal weight, steering etc all great. Pity most buy for the badge and have no appreciation of what they have…
nice car but is it just me or does the rear lights look similar to the VW Polo
hi chris,
how's samsung?
i love you bangle!
Virtually every comment so far has been about how the car looks, as do most comments to this blog. If you only buy cars based on how they look then I guess you get what you deserve. There are probably another 10 good reasons to buy a car but all the shallow minded people here purely are interested in what other people will think of them. Guess you all have pretty Barbie doll wives with big boobs and empty heads. Looks great hanging off your arm but then you have to live with them. Reality check boys!
So you'd buy a Ssangyong?
Not in a million years! They fail on all my 10 good reasons to buy a car but the BMW probably fits most. Exceptions might be the totally subjective areas of looks and value for money.
So, one's taste in women is reflected in one's taste in cars. Interesting.
In fairness, Homer, looks is all we have at the moment. The car's not yet released and nobody outside of BMW has driven it. Yes, it will be a great drive but, until it's released, let everyone comment on its looks to their hearts' content.
I see BMW has FINALLY made the move from fender signal repeaters to mirror mounted ones.
Decent car, but I'd pick a Alfa Giulietta over it any day
Current 1-series hatch owner.
Do like the knuckles in the bonnet. Gives it a muscular look.
Don't like the headlights, or the Hitler moustache grille.
A slightly upmarket Polo is what this should be called. Eugh.
I think that would be the Audi A1, you know with front wheel drive.
and a slighlty down market moron is what you should be called
haters… i think it looks better then the old hatch back. i hope the sedan is going to look good
I dont find headlights themselves ugly, but the plain space between the grill and where the bottom of the lights kick up is just freakin weird looking… I have no idea why but i absolutely love the taillights
Hmmmmmm. Not bad definately more modern looking-)
Doesnt look like an I30 anymore!
But will still be overpriced in OZ!!
Yes, but it's a BMW sir! It's a lifestyle choice.
Tell me the front is just another practical joke. For the first time, a few CGs floating around the internet looks better than the actual cars. No wonder they make a big thing about the suspension. Hopefully it could bounce a few more sales back. The back look too familiar with Polo. This one exceed Bangle's era as the ugliest BMW of all times.
If you could look beyond the skin though, the improvement is great, especially in the fuel consumption and power output. I've been waiting for the new 1 series but I guess I have to wait a few more years for the facelift
Same haters who bagged Bangle years back out in force again.
What about the fact it looks more squat and less top heavy than current model and that the front looks great compared to the hum drum VeeDub offerings including Audi.And thank God BMW has not succumbed to the dreaded ostentatious fairy lights like the other slaves to fashion Audi MB Porsche et al.
Besides the looks i bet it is great drive which is the most important factor cause lots of good and great cars are ugly eg Veyron .
polo tail lights. old one was better, hope they added leg room to the rear seats
a bad copy of the new Polo. fugly is the keyword here.
Straight in the fugly basket with the Lexus CT200h… With cars popping out of the seems in the segment, this car will flop…
Comparing this to the Lexus CT200h is way out of line- the Lexus is a trumped up Corolla Seca at best. At least the 1 series is fairly original and like it or not seems to continue its lineage with respect to the original form certainly aside from the ripped off VW/ Audi LED lights.
Shape wise, I like it although I think BMW need to do a total reprice structure. They need a better entry level priced car.
I saw this article last night and absolutely hated the new look. Looking at it again now, it doesn't look as bad. At least it has a bit of character, something the other new BMWs are lacking
Looks like BMW have hired some designers from Subaru. Shame about the looks cause it will be a cracker to drive.
I think the front headlights will be changed in the next facelift. Wait for it if you don't like this.
Bring Bangle back from designing phones and funiture, or whatever it is he does!! Adrian Van Hooydonk's just keeping the board of directors happy with his bland designs, oversized grilles, and freaky headlights!!
Kill it with fire – one ugly face!
Just when I thought they couldn't make the 1 series any more ugly. As a big BMW fan it is sad to see BMW go this way…

A Campaign Without Ideology: Profile of a Unicorn
Posted on Jun 3, 2012
What might a reasonable, constructive presidential campaign look like?
To ask the question invites immediate dissent because we probably can't even agree across philosophical or political lines what "reasonable" and "constructive" mean.
But let's try an experiment: Can we at least reach consensus on the sort of debate between now and November that could help us solve some of our problems? I'll let you in on the outcome in advance: Ideology quickly gets in the way of even this modest effort.
Start out by defining goals everyone could rally around. We need to get the economy moving faster and bring unemployment down, an all-the-more-urgent imperative after last week's disappointing jobs report. We want all Americans to share prosperity and to reverse the trend toward widening inequality. We want a sustainable budget where, in good times, revenues more or less match expenditures. And we want an education system that prepares members of the next generation for productive and rewarding lives.
Notice a few things about this list. It does not include social issues. Many Americans on both sides of politics legitimately believe that matters such as abortion, gay marriage, gun control, contraception and religious liberty (I could mention others) are of absolutely central concern. Some of them would reject my agenda at the outset. I'd defend it by insisting that the vast majority of Americans, whatever their views on any of these vexing subjects, want to get to certain basics first. They know the social issues won't go away.
Square, Site wide
Thus a challenge to conservatives: If cutting taxes is really more important to you than fiscal balance, why not just say so? Why pretend that balance matters when your real goal is a sharp reduction in the size of government? Alternatively, if we could agree that revenue is needed, let's argue about the right mix between spending cuts and tax increases, and about which taxes to raise.
And can politicians and commentators stop hiding behind vague promises of "tax reform"? Offer specifics or shut up about tax reform. Let's also agree that slashing programs for poor people—and I'm one who thinks we should spend more—won't come anywhere close to resolving our fiscal difficulties.
Job creation is at the heart of the campaign, and it is the issue about which we will have the least clarity. To me (and, I would say, to most non-ideological economists), it is perfectly obvious that rolling back government, both here and in Europe, has been exactly the wrong thing to do in a time of high unemployment. To save words, I refer you to a pile of fact-rich Paul Krugman columns.
The unemployment numbers would be much better without the massive loss of government jobs, and private-sector job growth would, in turn, be higher as those public workers spent money. It would be helpful if conservatives who disagree would offer evidence for why they are so certain that government austerity will make things better.
I'd like to hope we'll get somewhere on education, but as for rising inequality, many on the right don't even think it's a problem. So let's debate over whether greater inequality impedes faster growth or promotes it. Again, I think the evidence shows that when inequality gets out of hand (see 1929 and now), it's a drag on the whole economy. Forgive me for noting that conservatives seem to believe that the rich will work harder if we give them more, and the poor will work harder if we give them less. But let's have it out. Arguing in a serious way about the single question of economic inequality would make all the other nonsense of the next five months endurable.
What I do know is that if we don't use this campaign at least to define the problems we face, we will end up wasting the $2 billion or so this campaign will cost, and a lot of time.

Albany -- You see a police officer pulled over on the side of the road making a traffic stop, blue lights flashing. What should you do?
A Georgia law mandates drivers change lanes, if possible, to give the officer some room and slow down. Dougherty County Police say they're enforcing the law, but they've found few people have even heard about it. And, it comes with a whopping fine.
Police videos shows an officer plowed down while making a traffic stop. And there's a near miss for another officer, when a car hits the vehicle he pulled over. "You are more likely to be killed by a motorist than a bullet from someone," said Dougherty County Police Lt. Tommy Jackson.
Jackson says each year, public safety officers are killed during traffic stops by passing motorists. To reduce injuries and deaths, Georgia lawmakers passed the "Move Over" law last year.
"I want to get a message out here to let people know that they are required by law to move over. If they don't, we can stop them and write a citation," said Jackson.
The law requires drivers to change lanes if they safely can. If you can't, you should slow down and be ready to stop. DCP officers are writing tickets for violators. "Most of the people I stopped, aren't even aware of it. Or they make up excuse like 'We'll I could do this or I was going to get over but I didn't get over,'" said Jackson.
And the fines are hefty! "The fine through the state is $500 but it's my understanding in Dougherty County, it's up to $750."
Lt. Jackson says people are shocked to hear about the high fines, but he says the cost of driving recklessly can be deadly to Georgia's public safety officers.
The Governor's Office of Highway Safety also trains officers to be careful where they pull someone over, avoiding spots that are not visible to coming traffic.

COMMENT: Upheaval must inspire rather than disrupt United
9:00am Saturday 5th July 2014 in Sport
PRE-SEASON is normally rife with speculation about new signings. But one thing has dominated Oxford United's close season so far.
Fans across the city have wondered, speculated and hypothesised about the future of the club.
Finally now, after all the rumours and theories amid deals behind closed doors, the situation has become clear.
There are sweeping changes with a new chairman, chief executive and head coach.
Among the new, Ian Lenagan will stay on in the boardroom as the new regime comes into force.
It is clear this deal is one of two halves, to borrow from the football phrasebook; one part a football deal and the other a business deal.
And much like activities on the pitch, when there is a winner there is also a loser.
The local consortium, led by Charlie Methven, put together a brave bid to keep the ownership of the club in the hands of those closest to it.
But ultimately the bid failed. Despite this, they deserve huge credit in attempting to strike a deal.
As the floodlights dim following the day of drama, we can reflect on where the club is now.
Regardless of what has gone before, we must look ahead with kick-off of the new season fast approaching.
We should all get behind the new board at the club and hope the upheaval inspires rather than disrupts the team.
Hopefully this new dawn will produce results both on and off the pitch and help the club rise through the ranks of the Football League.

And regards the Stadium- whether it's to be at Grenoble road or Water Eaton I get the feeling things are going to move relatively quickly.

The Richland Wide Awake Club met Dec. 19 at the New Salem Lions Club for their annual Christmas Dinner.
Six members and seven guests sat down at a beautifully decorated table complete with a survival kit and prayer rock.
As usual, Diana Bedel, our inspired party leader had given us all our Christmas blessings. Our ever-inspiring cateress served a delicious Christmas dinner. She assured us that the meal had been specially prepared and blessed so that we were not ingesting any fat producing calories.
After dinner, Diana led us in thought necessitating games. Each game produced several winners but Diana was prepared to break all ties so that a winner emerged. No meeting of this group is complete without catching up on the local news, or do I mean gossip; after this we went home (where I am certain most enjoyed a refreshing nap).

"George McGovern was clearly one of South Dakota's most outstanding public servants. The USA and the world would have been better off if he had defeated Richard Nixon in the 1972 presidential election." — South Dakota native Al Neuharth, Cocoa Beach, Fla., founder of USA TODAY, Freedom Forum and Newseum
"Our hero, role model and remarkable friend, U.S. Senator and historian George Stanley McGovern, was a courageous, wise, noble, kind and decent man who inspired a more peaceful, just, healthy and humane world. There are some people we wish could stay with us at least a while longer. Their presence is reassuring. George McGovern is one of those people. We miss him dearly but will never forget the high principles he upheld and the great lessons he taught us." -- Jack Marsh, Sioux Falls, S.D., president of the Al Neuharth Media Center at the University of South Dakota and the Freedom Forum Diversity Institute
"Senator George McGovern lived a life of exemplary service. George's legacy of service will live on at the leadership program created in his name by his beloved Dakota Wesleyan University and in the hearts of all of those who took courage and inspiration from his public life and quiet, but powerful voice in the counsels of government. Throughout his post-political life, George dedicated himself to the service of his fellow man in the crusade against hunger around the world. Today South Dakota mourns the loss of a war hero and a great statesman, and our history will forever reflect the impact of George McGovern. Despite our political differences, I was always proud to call Senator McGovern my friend and he will be deeply missed by those he met and those who were fortunate enough to experience his goodwill through the world. Kimberley and my prayers are with his family and friends during this difficult time." -- Senator John Thune, (R) South Dakota
"I was saddened to learn of the death of Senator McGovern. George McGovern was a self-made man who served our nation, in war and in peace, with courage and conviction," the Governor said. "He worked hard on behalf of South Dakota, and made history as the only South Dakotan to be nominated for President. Linda and I extend our sympathies to the McGovern family." -- Governor Dennis Daugaard, (R) South Dakota
"Jill and I are profoundly saddened to hear about George McGovern's passing. I was honored to serve with him, to know him, and to call him a friend. George believed deeply in public service. It defined him as a Senator and as a man. And he never stopped serving for his entire life – whether it was his courage in World War II, his time in Congress, or his fight to eliminate hunger at home and abroad. Above all, George McGovern was a generous, kind, honorable man. He will be missed, and our thoughts and prayers are with his family today." -- Vice President Joe Biden
"Today we have lost a leader, patriot, and advocate for those in need, Senator George McGovern. Senator McGovern always had the courage to stand up for his convictions, and his lifelong commitment to serving our country —first in World War II and later in elected office—was an inspiration to so many of us." -- Democratic Party National Convention Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz
"George McGovern was a war hero, a statesman, and a champion of those who are sometimes forgotten. Simply put, he was a good man who always did what was right regardless of what was easy. He lived a lot of life in 90 years and will be held up as a role model for generations to come."-- Ben Nesselhuf, Chairman of the South Dakota Democratic Party
"He served the state and nation with courage and distinction over many decades while modeling humility and civility in public life. Especially significant was his advocacy for the poor and under-nourished both here in South Dakota and around the world. As an educator focusing on social justice, Senator McGovern will be remembered for personally living the corporal works of mercy to feed the hungry and give drink to the thirsty. Many were given new opportunities to live healthy and productive lives because of his efforts. May he rest in peace." --Most Reverend Paul J. Swain of the Catholic Diocese of Sioux Falls

Melo wants out, it's going to happen, and the Clippers are suddenly a preferred destination. What we really need is some help up front and to get rid of JR and his problems all at once.
The link below is a trade of Melo and JR for Griffin/Gordon/Kaman. This might seem like an unrealistic trade but there are several factors. Griffin, with all his talent, is a completely unproven player. Gordon is obviously a stud but a bit undersized and not a bad straight-up trade for JR, although better for us. Kaman would basically be a sweetener and could be thought of in place of draft picks we might have asked for in addition to young players. We could move Nene down to PF, play Harrington at SF (try it out anyway, not sure about his quickness but he could cause some match-up problems on the offensive end as well) and Gordon would be a great JR type 6th man to come of the bench and put the ball in the hole. We drop 3 mil. or so off salaries and only Kaman is under contract for more than 1 year (2) so the others could be signed or released at the end of the year for cap relief.

Has anyone ever looked over the rankings at Rivals/Yahoo and noticed that they include Head Coach rankings? Updated weekly and based, evidently, on how well their teams play. Is it just me or is that a stupidly silly idea?
Well if the idea itself isn't ridiculous, it certainly became that when Rivals decided to rank John Calipari at #2. Not only above Pitino, but also above Jamie Dixon (who has swept UConn) and Tom Izzo (who has kept the Big 10 relevant), who would be my top two. Bill Self was their #1 and I won't argue with that, but how could anyone justify putting Calipari there?
This Memphis madness has to end. Who looks at that team and can honestly say they are better than Michigan State or Oklahoma? But that's how they are ranked. And its not just a matter of them moving up as other teams lose and fall down in the rankings. No, Memphis received two 1st place votes from the AP poll this week and three 1st place votes from the coaches. WTF.
Two AP voters--not coaches, who might be trying to hype their team or conference--two AP voters decided that Memphis deserved to be the number one team in the country over a Pitt team that just completed a season sweep of former #1 UConn or a UNC team that survived a fairly competitive ACC, including two victories over bitter rival and former #1 Duke.
Am I wrong to be outraged?

When we made the decision to combine Lighting Dimensions, Entertainment Design, and SRO in to a new magazine called Live Design, we weren't sure what the industry response would be. Yes, we received positive feedback from our advisory board; yes, we were encouraged by the response we got from individuals in a one-on-one setting; and yes, we were utterly convinced it was the right move. But putting together a new magazine like this is a lot like designing a show: you have an idea, you create it, tweak it, and put it out there for the public to see, without ever fully knowing how they'll react until the house lights go down and the curtain goes up.
But after three issues, we're clearly on to something here. The response from you, the reader, has been overwhelmingly positive and more than a little humbling. You like the look, the size, and especially the content. You like that we offer a mix of tips, opinions, stories worth reading, and unique voices from the industry. We've received more letters in the last three months in support of what we're doing (all unsolicited, by the way) than I can remember receiving in entire years at the other magazines. You can see the latest sampling of feedback on page 11. And we'd like to say a big thanks to all of you who have called, written, or told us in person how much you appreciate what we're trying to do and also to all of the great advertisers who've supported us financially thus far.
But make no mistake — our work is not done. Not by any means. Just as a hit, long-running show still requires tweaking and fine-tuning to keep it fresh and exciting, we'll continue to look at improving what we do editorially and visually, giving you the kind of information you need and deserve in a trade magazine that covers an industry as creative as this. It's what you do in your line of work, and it's what we do, too.
To that end, I have a favor to ask. Continue to tell us what you like, but just as important, let us know what you don't like. Tell us when we screw up, and let us know what we can do better. You expect that kind of feedback from your director/producer/client; it's how you become a better designer. Well, we expect the same thing. Keep those cards and letters coming!

Robert S. Whitney (1904-1986) was born in England of an English mother and an American father and spent his childhood and early adult years in Chicago. The Whitneys were a musical family and Robert, his father and four sisters played together as a chamber music ensemble. Also, he and sisters Grace and Noreen performed as the "Whitney Trio," a group often heard on WMAQ, Chicago, where Robert was a radio announcer. His formal musical training was taken at the American Conservatory of Music, Chicago, where he studied piano and musical composition. He began composing at the age of 18 and, in 1934, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra performed his "Concerto Grosso."
In 1937, at the age of 33, Whitney became the first musical director of the Louisville Orchestra, then known as the Louisville Civic Symphony. He earned national renown as a champion of contemporary music when in 1948 the Louisville Orchestra began commissioning the works of current composers. With grants from the Rockefeller Foundation, the Orchestra recorded these works on a series of First Edition records, unique in that it was the first time an orchestra manufactured and distributed its own recordings. In 1949 the Orchestra, near financial insolvency, scheduled a final concert for January 4, 1950. For that performance Whitney selected an arrangement by a young American composer, William Schumann, titled "Judith" and invited Martha Graham, a modern dancer, to be the soloist. The response was so overwhelming that not only did the Board rescind its "death sentence," but the Louisville Orchestra was invited to present the piece at Carnegie Hall in New York City. There the performance drew rave reviews from the New York critics and launched Whitney and the Louisville Orchestra to the forefront of 20th-century American orchestras. In 1965 Whitney and the orchestra were invited by President Lyndon B. Johnson to appear at a "White House Festival of the Arts," in recognition of their service to contemporary music.
Believing that music appreciation started at an early age, Whitney inaugurated the "Making Music" concerts series in which he and the orchestra played for thousands of Kentucky school children, exposing them to the fundamental principles of music.
From 1956 to 1971, Whitney served as dean of the University of Louisville's School of Music. During 1976 he served as station consultant for the University's FM radio station WUOL, where he helped plan and evaluate programs.
On 4 April 1967, Whitney conducted his final concert with the Louisville Orchestra. But on November 19, 1983, he again conducted the Orchestra in honor of the opening of the Kentucky Center for the Arts, whose 2,400 seat auditorium was named Whitney Hall. He passed away on November 22, 1986 at the age of 82.
Among the acclaim Whitney achieved were the American Composers Alliance Leaf; the Ditson Award; the first Giovanni Martini Award from Bellarmine College (1962); and honorary degrees from the University of Louisville, the University of Kentucky, and Hanover College. He appeared as a guest conductor for orchestras in Europe and South America.
The Robert S. Whitney papers in the University of Louisville Archives span his career in the music field from 1917 to 1983. The bulk of the material is from the "Whitney Scrapbooks" and pertains to his involvement with the Louisville Orchestra as conductor from 1937 to 1967. The scrapbooks primarily consist of clippings from the Louisville Courier-Journal and the Times relating the events and activities of Whitney and the Orchestra during his tenure. All of the Louisville Orchestra's season and special concert performance programs from 1937 to 1965 are included. The items were placed in the acid-free folders in the same order as Whitney himself had placed them in his scrapbooks; they are arranged by orchestra year, but are not in exact chronological order as to the months and days. In addition to the scrapbooks, the Whitney papers include a separate box of clippings and articles regarding Whitney's career as conductor and also as Dean of the University of Louisville's School of Music, a post he held from 1956 to 1971. Some miscellaneous Orchestra material, mostly financial, includes Rockefeller grant information, 1955-57, and a Louisville Orchestra Board of Directors Handbook, 1982.
The collection is rich in material from the "Whitney Project," an oral history documentary of the Louisville Orchestra which was produced by Whitney in cooperation with Dr. Joseph Maloney, Director of the University of Louisville, Institute of Community Development and the University's radio station WUOL. This particular project was actually the second part of an oral history documentary that was aired on WOUL in 1977 and titled "In Retrospect." While the first part centered on the Louisville Orchestra in its first decade under conductor Whitney, the material in this collection pertains to the orchestra's rise to international prominence as the first to play the works of contemporary composers, especially pieces from American artists. The "Whitney Project" items in this collection include the initial plans of the project, correspondences to and from composers whose compositions were commissioned by the Louisville Orchestra, recordings of interviews with the composers, and transcripts of two of them. There are twenty-three cassette tapes including the edited version of the actual program which aired on WOUL (1981?).
While there is an abundance of information concerning Whitney's professional career as related by others, there is almost no material from Whitney, a very private, modest man. For more information regarding Robert S. Whitney and the Louisville Orchestra see the Louisville Orchestra (RG107) and CharlesFarnsley (RG237) collections.
In some instances, letters from whitney (responses) are attached but not counted.

Mixed martial arts and kickboxing veteran Mirko 'Cro Cop' Flipovic signed for kickboxing promotion Glory at the weekend. The current K-1 world champion and Pride 2006 open weight champion, is reportedly going to take on Remy Bonjasky for his first fight in a rematch from their 2002 encounter. Cro Cop won that match due to a doctors stoppage in the second round.
The fight has not officially been announced yet but reports indicate that 'Cro Cop' will make his Glory debut in his homeland Zagreb, Croatia. Bonjasky, who is a three time K-1 world champion, will be looking to settle the score in what could be his retirement fight. The dutchman is 38 in January and will be looking to relax after having a staggering 94 professional fights in his career.
Flipovic left the UFC after being knocked out three times in a row. He is 1-1 in smaller organisations since he left the UFC but he has primarily focused on kickboxing. After beating Ray Sefo in his kickboxing comeback 'Cro Cop' went on to win the K-1 world championships. In his prime the Croatian was a devastating finisher who had some of the most lethal high kicks in martial arts. "Right leg,hospital; left leg, cemetery.
There is no doubt that 'Cro Cop' is one of the greatest fighters of all time, even if he never made it to the top in the UFC. His Pride and K-1 wars are legendary and his battle against Fedor Emelianenko at Pride Final Confilct in 2005 will go down as one of the greatest fights of all time. At 39 years of age however, you just have to wonder how much longer 'Cro Cop' could possibly have left? How much more can his body take after alll the battels it's been through?

After putting in nine days straight of 12 hour shifts, ODOT driver Gary Sears is ready for some down time. The massive storm meant all hands on deck for hundreds of ODOT workers.
"We're hoping to get a break this weekend," says Sears. "It looks like with the warmer weather we'll be able to go home to our families. I think I've spent more times with my hands around the wheel than my hands around my wife."
Between January 5 and 9, they traveled more than 125,000 miles within the six counties of Northwest Ohio. They cleared snow, salted roads, and did all they could to keep drivers safe.
"It's been a tremendous snowfall over the last month and a half or so," Sears tells 13abc. "We've been working our equipment quite hard and the employees have been working hard also."
ODOT officials estimate the combined costs of labor and materials for the winter storm will be about $1.17 million. Crews used almost 7,500 tons of salt, and worked more than 10,700 hours.
Now that roads are almost clear, the next obstacle is repairs. Workers will be out trying to fix the multiple potholes left behind by the weather.
With Mother Nature backing off, Sears says it's time to go back home
"It's time just to have a little fun with the family this weekend," he says with a smile.

There's a great ice cream parlor at Third and Evand, and a large meat market two blocks away inside Harvest Fresh. But no downtown cigar store, and it would be nice to see Ma Jenkins' popcorn wagon again.

Interview with Gary Pennick, design and technology teacher
Age 28. Comes from Whitby, North Yorkshire.
Did you originally set out
to be a teacher?
No, I set off doing 'A' levels at school in art and design
but I found art 'A' level too restrictive. After a year I
got some good advice from a teacher - like most kids I didn't
realise then that teachers are trying to help you - who pointed
me towards a BTEC National Diploma in Art & Design at a local
college in York.
You were happier studying on
a more general course?
Why did you decide on teaching?
How did you get into it?
Then a teaching qualification
And now you're doing it for
What's the best thing about
what you do? Would you
say teaching was a good career to go into?
What about the bad bits?
And the financial rewards?
Have you any advice for someone
considering a career in teaching?
And do you look forward to
work everyday?

Thorpe: Wolves could take Biyombo #1
Minnesota Timberwolves Even with all the high draft picks and some free-agent acquisitions, the Wolves have holes at every position except whatever spot Kevin Love plays. Though they still own the rights to Ricky Rubio and sit on a very disappointing -- but talented -- Jonny Flynn, the Wolves clearly will have to consider taking Kyrie Irving, of course. But pairing up your best player with a complementary one makes sense, and if the Wolves decide to go that route, they'll have to consider Bismack Biyombo. If you think he's too raw a talent to go No. 1, you're wrong. Think of it like this: He averages 6 and 5 with more than two blocks a game while playing in Spain's top division, which is the second-best basketball league in the world after the NBA. And he does that while playing less than half the game. It's a league far more rugged than college. How would Irving fare over there in 17 minutes? Biyombo pairs up perfectly with Love, as his above-the-rim game and high intensity matches up with Love's solid positional defense and calm demeanor. BB would give the Wolves a constant threat in the paint to dunk anything he touched while allowing Love to float outside for his great jumper. And they would form one of the top rebounding tandems in the league. His energy alone would help Love and every other player on the team. Flynn, Wes Johnson and Love all want lots of touches and shots, and BB could excel just playing off their misses. The two players he's always compared to are Ben Wallace and Kevin Garnett.

Craig Sande grew up in the house he lives in, in Juniper Hills. But lately, he feels like he lives in a zoo. After spying some unusual droppings, he brought out his special outdoor video camera. As he showed us, "I just took this Bushnell camera, and I just put it up against this tree." Which is how he caught video of a bobcat: "There he is, he's licking his chops, and off he goes..."
And then, just last week, the camera caught his neighbor's bee hive being raided by a big hungry black bear. Narrating the video for us, Sande said, "The bear came back about 2:30 in the morning and started tipping over the beehive, and started breaking it open."
They repaired the hive and surrounded it with fencing. The next night the bear came out and tried to get in, but later gave up. But it hasn't been on stranger on Craig's street. As he showed us on video, "You can see how big he is. He's a pretty beefy bruin. Until I put up this camera, I didn't know this was happening almost every night…about 2:30 in the morning he was coming in."
At the Nevada Department of Wildlife, Chris Healy has been hearing stories, and seeing videos like that a lot lately. This is the time of year they'll get dozens of calls a day. They cover the gamut from bears in dumpsters to backyards.
Encounters with bears have reached a surprisingly high number in neighborhoods like where Craig caught his video. Healy says neighborhoods like Juniper Hills, "used to be the bears natural habitat until it was developed. Those places used to be traditional wild lands, and over the years they've been developed. People have grown fruit trees in their yards, and the bears love the fruit."
He says they're seeing bears they never have before. The bear in Craig's video? "This one didn't have an ear tag, so that means it's a wild bear! And that tells us the wild sources of food may be drying up and may be going away."
After 2 years of drought, he says new bears are moving down here, not just for loose garbage, but for the bounty growing in yards, "So they're actually coming into places like west Reno where fruit trees have dropped a lot of fruit on the ground."
Anything they can find to fatten up for hibernation. He says bears like the one spotted will be out in town, all the way to mid-November, and looking for more than loose garbage. Craig's is secured, but he knows, "They love the fruit, and then of course the beehives. They love honey."

A simple PGP Mail Form Plugin. Enter your PGP public key, then visitors will be able to send you PGP encrypted messages by mail from a form.
Awesome little plug-in. Works as advertised. Thank you for giving us a free version. You may recall, Phil Zimmermann used to give away PGP for free as well. The only constructive criticism I can offer up is I don't think you need the captcha option if the message wont be sent unless you click the "encrypt" button. Not sure how a bot could do that....but I might be wrong. Other than that, I love it. Thanks.
This is an excellent and very easy to set up and use plugin. I've used several other contact forms in the past and this is as easy as the best of them and encrypts the message sent as well. It also includes an anti spam field to stop the spammbots. Just follow the video instructions to set up.
What it does:
wp2pgpmail is a simple, anti-spam, contact form with an extra 'encrypt' button. A site visitor types a message in the usual way. Before sending they press 'encrypt' and the message is encrypted using your public pgp key (these can be generated using the Chrome plugin 'Mailvelope' if you don't have PGP or GnuPG). The encryption takes place on the clients device not the server. That is before any part of the message is uploaded on to the internet.
Since so many people are slack about encryption this seems about the simplest way possible to get encrypted messages sent to you. Visitors to your site don't need any extra software or do anything more than press the 'encrypt' button.
