NEW YORK – Negotiations resume over Iran's nuclear program in Vienna on Tuesday over details of a prospective final agreement to the longstanding crisis.World powers and Iran would enter talks in apparent agreement on their progress.Several governments assert their negotiators are on track to begin drafting a comprehensive accord next month.Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and Catherine Ashton, European Union high representative, dined on Monday night before the opening plenary sessions, as they have on the eve of every session since negotiations began in earnest last year.In Moscow, Russian officials set moderate expectations for the latest round of talks, conducted at the political directors' level between the governments of Iran and the P5+1 powers – the United States, United Kingdom, France, China, Russia and Germany.Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said that Moscow had "no special expectations" for the talks, which should be oriented towards building a framework for the continuation of talks, he told a local news media.And yet Iranian officials hope to "get to the details" quickly and "start writing the text" of a comprehensive agreement that would end the impasse."We hope that in the upcoming talks, we would be able to bring the views closer and narrow the differences regarding major issues," Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi told Press TV, a state-run Iranian news agency.The aim of the talks is to hammer out a long-term deal to define the permissible scope of Iran's nuclear program in return for a lifting of sanctions that are damaging its oil-dependent economy.Ahead of the resumption of talks, a senior Obama administration official told journalists that any final deal would be "highly, highly technical," and that the negotiation sessions through April would be focused on working through each detail, piece by piece.The parties "set out a work plan of how we were going to proceed to get to a comprehensive agreement, and we are on pace with the work plan that was set out," the official said, adding that the drafting of the deal might begin in May.The upbeat tone from Tehran came amid US concerns that Russia and Iran mightsoon sign an oil-for-good agreement valued at $20 billion."We've been very clear about our concerns with both parties regarding this or any similar deal," the senior official said in response to reports. "If such a deal were to happen, it appears it would be inconsistent with the terms of the P5+1 plus European Union Joint Plan of Action, and could potentially trigger US sanctions against the entity and individuals involved in any related transaction."In a conversation with The Jerusalem Post, an Obama administration official delineated between actions inconsistent with the Joint Plan of Action – the interim nuclear deal forged in Geneva last fall granting the parties six months to negotiate a final agreement.Proportionate sanctions would be triggered should such "inconsistent" action be taken, the official said.However, the US has assessed that "Iran has abided by the JPA," State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said on Monday.Responding to the reports, Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman Robert Menendez (D-New Jersey) and Senator Mark Kirk (R-Illinios) wrote to US President Barack Obama on Monday, calling on the president to put Iran "on notice" for skirting the interim deal."If Iran moves forward with this effort to evade US sanctions and violate the terms of oil sanctions relief provided for in the JPA, the United States should respond by reinstating the crude oil sanctions, rigorously enforcing significant reductions in global purchases of Iranian crude oil and sanctioning any violations to the fullest extent of the law," the two senators wrote.Reuters contributed to this report.

Developer shakes up Montreal's conservative condo market
Mitchell Abrahams, head of The Benvenuto Group, has trained his sights back on the city of his birth, launching trio of condos that have shaken up Montreal's real estate market.

Mitchell Abrahams is getting back to his roots.
The Montreal native has built a successful real estate career in Toronto over the past 15 years, most recently as head of The Benvenuto Group, which is redeveloping the The Benvenuto apartment-hotel near Avenue Rd. and St. Clair Ave. W. into luxury condos.
Of late, however, Abrahams has trained his sights back on the city of his birth — with gusto. He's launched a trio of condo projects that have shaken up his hometown's real estate market, most notably Le Peterson, a 31-storey tower with a facade of undulating balconies that Montreal's mayor described as "audacious," Abrahams proudly points out.
There's also Le Belvedere, a luxury development that will be the first highrise condo in the posh suburb of Hampstead; and Onyx, a midrise project located at the foot of Mont Royal that offers amenities not typically found in Montreal condos.
"Montreal has had a slow but steady condo market for a number of years now," Abrahams explains, noting that on average around 10,000 units have been built there each year. "The city has a very conservative, risk-averse development community that has been building good condos, but they've been much smaller-scale, midrise projects."
Although Montreal has lower real estate prices and cheaper land costs compared to Toronto, Abrahams says that the City of Saints' smaller condos haven't offered the sort of lifestyle amenities that have become the norm in most Toronto projects. "So we saw a gap in the market."
Onyx, the first of Benvenuto's Montreal condos, will have 107 units and a fitness centre, outdoor terrace and theatre/party room. The 10-storey development, with units priced from $189,000 to $600,000, is slated for occupancy next summer.
"We sold 90 per cent of the project in 90 days," Abrahams boasts, noting that the purchasers were primarily end users. "It was real people buying homes, and the big suites sold before the small suites, which was unheard of at the time in Toronto.
"It was eye-opening for us and eye-opening in many ways for the Montreal development community," he adds.
Benvenuto's next project, Le Peterson, with its wild, wavy balconies, offers something "really different in terms of architecture," Abrahams says.
Overlooking the Quartier des spectacles, a new entertainment district in the heart of downtown Montreal, the building will have 250 units — priced from $214,000 to $1 million — and amenities that include a 25th floor terrace, as well as a theatre, fitness centre, games room, lounge and bar. Construction on the project is scheduled to begin next spring.
Benvenuto's latest Montreal condo offering, Le Belvedere, located in the high-end suburb of Hampstead, is one Abrahams says he takes "quite personally, because it's close to where I grew up."
The 16-storey building will be Hampstead's first highrise, with suites priced from $500,000 to $2 million. The project will include eight townhouses. "There are all kinds of people who are selling homes in different areas (around Montreal) who think this would be a great, serene neighbourhood to retire to," he says.
Born and raised in Montreal, Abrahams got involved in real estate at the age of 18 when he began buying and renovating apartment buildings while still at university.
He honed his skills through jobs with a variety of major developers over the next two decades. Abrahams moved to Toronto in 1997 and served as an executive with GE Capital, Trizec Properties and Great West Life Realty Advisors, working on multi-million-dollar commercial and industrial property deals and repurposing nearly 1,400 older apartments across Canada.
In 2003, Abrahams struck out on his own and launched Malen Capital, an investment property firm that today has a portfolio of more than $500 million in projects in Ontario and Quebec.
He also co-founded The Benvenuto Group, a company focused exclusively on infill developments. "We only do projects in strong urban locations," Abrahams says. "Because we really don't like to do cookie-cutter stuff; we like to create really interesting places for people to live."
Benvenuto has done two condo developments in Toronto to date: The Benvenuto, the building from which the company derives its name; and 83 Redpath, a 212-unit condo-townhouse development near Mt. Pleasant Rd. and Eglinton Ave.
While Abrahams has had a good run in Toronto over the past 15 years, he insists he hasn't lost his ties to Montreal. "I never gave up my Canadiens season tickets," he points out.
And although he's made quite a splash in his hometown lately, he doesn't believe the local development community perceives him as an outsider. "I think people in Montreal see me as a guy who left, has done well and has come back to see if he can do some interesting things there," Abrahams says.
"Sometimes it takes a fresh set of eyes to come in and look at certain opportunities differently."

I opted to try a lavender mocha as opposed to a lavender latte, and they were happy to experiment. This is a funky little coffee shop in Downtown Stowe, and worth the stop!
I had a latte my husband the house coffee and I have to say it was not very hot or top notch. The price is fine the atmosphere is like most is smaller towns - kids working behind the counter, the entire places could use a really good cleaning, more comfortable chairs, better music selection overhead.
In a pinch go...
The coffee is good, but the staff totally disorganised and slow : looked like they'd only started that morning and didn't know what they were doing, so there was a big line of orders on the counter and the girl was doing them one at a time - painful to watch
Stopped here for coffee whilst riding a bike. The coffee they made us was very good. We have decaf but the finished drink still tasted like a proper coffee. We sat outside to watchthe world go by. Nice place for a decent coffee
I agree with many of the previous posters. The location is good, the product is pretty good, the service and attitude of the person taking my order was horrible. The woman who waited on us on Saturday morning. October 25th, was about as rude as you can get. I almost just walked out. I felt like a piece of dirt...
I reviewed Black Cap over a year ago, and though I don't usually bother with an update, I found that the place has steadily deteriorated. It is such a missed opportunity for Black Cap's owners. One of Vermont's premier attractions, Stowe needs a great coffee shop, but this place needs a lot of attention. The baristas do not understand how...
We were in Stowe to see the sights and wanted to sit for a coffee. Black Cap filled the bill for us. My husband's Americano was based on a smooth and tasty shot. I inquired about the granola -- homemade there, very fresh, with nuts -- which comes with natural yogurt. The serving was generous and hearty. I also had...
Went their for a light breakfast and coffee our second day of a two day visit to Stowe. The croissants were very fresh and the coffees made as we requested just right for us. Weak latte . We were able to make use of. Their available free wifi that we found easy to use and efficient.
Just across from the rec trail so its a great way to end some morning exercise.
Good coffee , nice atmosphere and just get this muffin! You will understand .
Great selection of baked-goods, cards, and nice gift items (and not too cheesy) in a nice, big room with cozy seating and free wifi. I'm only giving 3-stars as the coffee was just so-so, but better than Starbucks, which isn't all that difficult, but says something as to the quality.

Hyundai Motor posts surprise Q4 profit fall
SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korea's Hyundai Motor (005380.KS) posted a surprise 5.5 percent fall in quarterly net profit, missing forecasts, as record car sales were dented by the impact of a stronger local currency and the cost of compensating drivers in North America for overstated fuel-economy claims.
The South Korean automaker, ranked fifth in global sales with affiliate Kia Motors, reported October-December net profit of 1.89 trillion won, down from 2 trillion won a year earlier. That compares with a consensus forecast of 2.15 trillion won in a Reuters poll of 15 analysts.
Hyundai, which has enjoyed strong sales growth in recent years by offering stylish, yet affordable models such as the Sonata and Elantra, sold 1.23 million vehicles in the fourth quarter, up 11 percent from a year earlier.
Shares in Hyundai Motor touched a four-week high on Wednesday, but are among the worst performers in the global autos industry with a 10 percent drop in the last four months. Over the same period, shares in Japanese rival Toyota Motor have gained 30 percent - a reflection of the recent shifts in the two economies' currencies.

The Candy Store Historian
Mr. Preminger, a 59-year-old former soda jerk who is married to a television executive, has shared his knowledge and presented his collection of candy store memorabilia at churches, synagogues, senior centers and historical societies. The other day, while handling the plastic wristwatches and comic books in his collection, he talked about this small corner of a bygone New York world.
THIRTY years ago I came across a candy store on Avenue U in Marine Park, Brooklyn. I walked in and there was everything from my childhood, just frozen in time. I talked to the owner and he let me rummage through the shelves, through layers and layers of dusty games and coloring books and novelty items from the 40's and 50's. It was so interesting that I began going to other neighborhoods and doing the same thing. I became what I would call a candy store archaeologist.

Enjoy an "island experience" at Lighthouse Festival
Enjoy an island experience on the mainland at the Toledo Lighthouse Waterfront Festival July 11 and 12 at Maumee Bay State Park in Oregon.
Festivalgoers can enjoy boat rides around the lighthouse on a restored Cedar Point boat; nautical arts and crafts; a lighthouse photo contest; a sand castle contest; clam chowder contest; and lots of entertainment
Festival hours are 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday. Admission and parking are free.
Take a ride aboard a former Cedar Point Boat. See where Toledo draws its drinking water, West Sister Island, Little Cedar Point and more. Tickets go on sale at 9 a.m. Saturday on a first-come first-served basis for the four trips offered every 2.5 hours on Saturday and three trips on Sunday beginning at 10 a.m. The tickets will be sold at the Toledo Society Lighthouse tent at the festival. The cost is $15 per person ($12 for members).
The popular annual festival is a celebration of the Toledo Harbor Lighthouse, which is served and promoted by the nearly 400-member all-volunteer Toledo Lighthouse Society. Members devote their time and efforts to restoring the one-of-a-kind buff brick, rolled-steel roof structure, which boasts 70 windows that rise 64 feet out of the water.
"The view from the top is spectacular," said Sandy Bihn, Preservation Society president, adding that the original lighthouse Fresnel lens is featured in the lobby of the lighthouse.
Access to the lighthouse is being worked on. In April 2009 the dock and ramp installed in 2008 disappeared. The ramp has just been located but the dock remains lost.
For more information about the festival or membership in the society, call 419-691-3788 or visit www.toledolighthouse.org.

New Oklahoma State offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich has been lauded for the crazy numbers the offenses at Shippensburg put up under his direction. He's been credited with speeding up the tempo even more at OSU.
OSU football: Mike Gundy praises Mike Yurcich's personality at OKC caravan stop
Yet at Sunday's Oklahoma City Caravan stop, OSU coach Mike Gundy praised Yurcich's demeanor while adjusting to the Cowboy program.
"He allowed Clint (Chelf) and J.W. (Walsh) — and at that time, Wes (Lunt) — to teach him the offense," Gundy said, "which is the same thing Brandon Weeden did with Todd Monken. It's important to bring a guy in that's willing to sit back and listen and learn.
"He's in a tough situation, coming into a program that's been in the top 10 in the country in offense (five of the last six) years. That's a lot of pressure, and he's handled it really well."
Jeremy Smith is primed to be the Cowboys' No. 1 running back in 2013, bringing skill, experience and more than 1,400 yards of production into his senior season.
Behind Smith are two players with little meaningful game experience in Desmond Roland and Caleb Muncrief and two incoming freshmen in Corion Webster and Rennie Childs.

Dec. 19, 1967 E. R. LE BLANC METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FREEING A WELL TOOL AND CABLE 2 Sheets-Sheet 1 Filed Jan. 26, 1966 INVENTOR.
- ATTO/W Dec. 19, 1967 E. R. LE BLANC METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FREEING A WELL TOOL'AND CABLE 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 Filed Jan. 26, 1966 Edward /5. ZeB/anc v INVEN'IOR.
United States Patent 3,358,765 METHOD AND APPARATUS FQR FREEZING A WELL TOOL AND CABLE Edward R. Le Blane, Houston, Tex., assignor, by mesne assignments, to Schlumberger Technology Corporation, Houston, Tex., a corporation of Texas Filed Jan. 26, 1966, Ser. No. 523,226 Claims. (Cl. 16646) This invention relates to methods and apparatus for freeing tools that have become lodged in a well bore; and,
more particularly, to methods and apparatus for releas-v ing a tool-supporting cable from the tool and subsequently freeing the tool.
In those well completion operations conducted with a tool suspended from a wireline either with or without electrical conductors therein, it is not too uncommon for the tool to become lodged in some manner in the well bore during the operation. When this occurs and the tool cannot be dislodged by application of a reasonably safe tension to the cable, it becomes necessary to retrieve the tool and cable by a so-called fishing operation.
It will be appreciated that retrieval of a cable-suspended tool presents several considerations which must be taken into account. First of all, it is preferable to disconnect the cable at or as near as possible to the tool to avoid leaving a loose skein of cable on top of the tool which will interfere with its subsequent recovery. Secondly, it is obvious that as much of the cable should be recovered intact as is economically possible. Finally, it is desirable to connect a fishing tool to the stuck tool before disconnecting the cable to prevent the tool from possibly falling into an even more awkward position from which its extrication might be impossible.
Heretofore, in one manner of conducting such a fishing operation, it has been customary to employ a so-called cut-and-thread procedure to free a stuck cable-suspended tool. In this procedure (as described in greater detail on page 769 of the 1962-63 Composite Catalog of Oil Field Equipment and Services), the suspension cable is first severed at the surface and the free ends are passed through a joint of drill pipe having a so-called overshot on its lower end and temporarily reconnected. The joint and overshot are then lowered into the well around the cable and halted with the upper end of the joint near the rotary table. The cable is disconnected and its free ends are passed through a second joint of drill pipe before it is coupled to the first joint. The coupled joints are then lowered until the upper end of the second joint reaches the rotary table and the cable is again disconnected. Thus, by successively disconnecting and reconnecting the temporary cable connection, a drill string having the overshot on its lower end is progressively assembled and lowered around the cable. By continuing to add additional joints in this manner, it will be realized that when the overshot reaches the stuck tool, it can be manipulated to securely engage the tool and prevent its subsequent loss. It will be recognized, of course, that with the overshot firmly engaging it, the stuck tool can usually be dislodged and returned to the surface.
Recovery of the suspension cable is not quite so simple. For example, although such well tools are customarily connected by a so-called weak-point to the lower end of the cable, such weak points must be capable of supporting the static weight of the tool as well as any normal loads induced by drag in raising the tool or additional tension that may be reasonably applied in an effort to dislodge the tool if it becomes stuck. However, since the point of greatest cable stress is at or near the surface when a suspension cable is under tension, circumstances can be such that a pull on the cable otherwise sufiicient to fail the weak-point will instead break the cable near ice the surface and thereby leave a substantial length of loose cable piled in the tubing string. For example, if a cable having an average tensile strength of 12,000-pounds is used in conjunction with a weak-point having an average tensile strength of 6,500-pounds and 6,000-pounds of cable is within the borehole when the tool is stuck, additional tension may quite possibly break the cable at or near the surface before the weak-point can be loaded beyond its tensile strength. Thus, it is generally risky, if not impossible, to use the weak-point if the tool becomes stuck at substantial depth.
Accordingly, when it is believed too risky to disconnect the cable from the stuck tool by breaking the weak-point, it has been necessary heretofore to remove the tubing string a section at a time (typically consisting of a stand of three 30-foot joints) and sever the cable at the rig floor each time a stand of tubing string is disconnected. Thus, although the tool is recovered, its suspension cable will be totally lost since it is impractical to resplice such short sections. Although this may not be of too great significance where the suspension member is only a steel cable, a considerable economic loss will be represented where the cable includes one or more electrical conductor-s covered by suitable fluid-resistant insulations and enclosed within an armor sheath and an outer cover.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide methods and apparatus which permit the safe recovery of a stuck cable-suspension well tool as well as the recovery of its suspension cable in a fully usable condition.
This and other objects of the present invention are accomplished by coupling a first member to the stuck well tool, gripping the cable a short distance above the well tool with a second member and moving the two members apart to separate the cable from the well tool and permit the separate retrieval of the tool and cable. One embodiment of apparatus in accordance with the present invention is comprised of selectively operable cable-gripping means, a body adapted for dependent connection from a suspension member and having first means thereon adapted for engaging and supporting the cable-gripping means and second means dependently connected thereto adapted for engaging a well tool and imparting a downward force thereon as the suspension member is pulled upwardly.
The novel features of the present invention are set forth with particularity in the appended claims. The present invention, both as to its organization and manner of operation together with further objects and advantages thereof, may best be understood by way of illustration and example of certain embodiments when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing one embodiment of apparatus arranged in accordance with the principles of the present invention;
FIGS. 2 and 3 are enlarged cross-sectional views taken respectively along the lines 22 and 3-3 of a portion of the apparatus shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is an isometric view in one of the elements depicted in FIG. 1; and
FIGS. 57 are successive views illustrating the practice of the present invention with modification of the apparatus of FIG. 1.
In practicing the methods of the present invention it is necessary only to have first means for securely engaging and imparting a downward force on the stuck well tool and second means for selectively gripping the suspension cable at a point a substantial distance below the surface of the ground and pulling upwardly thereon. Thus, by moving the first and second means apart with a combined force sufiicient to break the weak-point (or part the cable at a point between the first and second means should there be no weak-point), all or at least a major portion of the suspension cable will be disconnected from the well tool. Then, after the suspension cable has been retrieved, the well tool can be recovered. It will be appreciated, of course, that the first means must be supported by a suspension member of sufi rcient strength to permit retrieval of the stuck well too]. Similarly, the second means must also be supported by a suspension member of sufficient strength to sustain the force necessary to break the weak-point or part the suspension cable.
In analyzing the combined forces necessary to break the weak-point or part the suspension cable, it must be considered that the well tool may remain fixed until after the cable is recovered or it may come free during the recovery operation. In the first instance, the downward force imparted to the well tool by the first means must be sufficient that the total of this force plus the weight of the tool and the restraining force holding the tool equal or exceed the breaking point of the weak-point (or suspension cable). Thus, with the tool being held against upward movement, the second means can pull the suspension cable upwardly with sufficient force to accomplish the separation. In the second instance, should the tool come free as the suspension cable is being tensioned, the summation of the downward force applied by the first means and free weight of the well tool must equal or exceed the breaking point of the weak-point (or suspension cable). In either event, however, it is necessary that, once the first and second means are respectively engaged with the well tool and suspension cable, the first and second means must be capable of independent movement away from one another a distance at least equal to the total elongation of the length of suspension cable between the second means and well tool which will result in failure of the weak-point or some portion of that length of cable.
Accordingly, in one manner of practicing the methods of the present invention, tool-securing means, such as a tool grapple or spear or even a strong magnet as may be determined by the particular circumstances, are lowered on a first cable and secured to the stuck well tool. By mounting the tool-securing means on a body of substantial weight, the necessary downward force will be imposed on the stuck tool. Then, suitable cable-gripping means, such as a solenoid-operated clamp or the like, are lowered into the well bore on a second cable to a position above the tool and firmly engaged to the suspension cable at a point above the stuck well tool. By pulling upwardly on the second cable with sufiicient force to part or release it from the stuck well tool, the suspension cable is pulled free of the well tool and recovered. Then, the tool itself is pulled free by the tool-engaging means.
Turning now to FIG. 1, a preferred embodiment of one form of apparatus for practicing the methods of the present invention is illustrated, As seen there, the tooland-cable releasing apparatus 10 is comprised of first and second tubular members 11 and 12 telescopically arranged together at their adjacent ends for longitudinal movement relative to one another. To determine the extent of relative longitudinal movement between the tubular members 11 and 12, one or more lateral pins 13 projecting inwardly from the outer member 12 are each confined within elongated longitudinal sl-ots 14 in the inner member 11. Thus, it will be appreciated that the pins 13 and slots 14 corotatively secure the members 11 and 12 to one another while permiting their relative longitudinal travel within the limits defined by the slots. It will be appreciated that the slots 14 and pins 13 can be reversed as shown in FlGS. 5-7.
The upper end of the inner tubular member 11 is suitably sized to receive a selectively operable cable-gripping 7 tool 15 which, as will subsequently become apparent, is adapted to move freely down a suspension cable 16 passing through the inner and outer members 11 and 12 but resist upward movement thereon. Abutment means, such as one or more inwardly extending dogs 17 mounted within longitudinal apertures 18 around the wall of the inner tubular member 11, are provided to engage and prevent further downward movement of the cable-gripping tool 15 through the tubular members 11 and 12.
Although these dogs 17 could be fixed to the inner tubular member 11, it is preferred to pivot the dogs on transverse pins 19 secured on opposite sides of the apertures 18. By positioning the pivot pins 19 near the outer wall of the inner tubular member 11 and adjacent to the bottom surfaces 20 of the apertures 18, the dogs 17 will be prevented from pivoting downwardly but will be free to swing upwardly from their extended position and back into their respective apertures. Biasing means, such as leaf springs 21 mounted along the outside of the inner tubular member 11 and urged against the outer ends 22 of the dogs 17 above their pivot pins 19, maintain the dogs in their extended position but Will yield to allow the dogs to swing upwardly and inwardly in response to an upward force on their inner ends 23.
The cable-releasing tool 15 is comprised of an elongated rigid bod-y 24 having a longitudinal bore 25 through which a suspension cable 16 may be passed. Cable-gripping means 26 are mounted within the body 24 and arranged to securely grasp the portion of cable 16 received in the longitudinal bore 25. As best seen in FIGS. 2 and 4, the cable-gripping means 26 may take the form of one or more tandemly disposed pairs of opposed wedge-shaped blocks or slips 2'7 confined within inwardly facing recesses 28 on opposite sides of the longitudinal bore 25, The outer face 29 of each slip 27 is tapered downwardly and inwardly for sliding engagement with a complementary tapered rear wall 30 of its respective recess 28. To insure a more positive gripping of the cable 16, teeth 31 may also be formed on the inner vertical face of each slip 27. A compression spring 32 having its ends respectively confined within aligned recessed bores 33 and 34 in the top wall of each recess 28 and the upper face 35 of each slip 27 normally urges each slip downwardly and inwardly toward the cable 16. It will be appreciated, of course, that the springs 32 are so selected that the cable-engaging slips 27 do not engage the cable 16 with sufiicient force to prevent the relatively free travel of the cable-gripping tool 15 down the suspension cable.
As best seen in FIG. 2, these slips 27 are preferably closely confined between the opposed side walls 36 and 37 of the recesses 28 to prevent lateral tipping of the slips. As further seen in FIGS. 2 and 4, the inner vertical faces of the slips 27 are also preferably formed in a generally semi-circular concavity so the teeth 31 of the opposed slips can grip the cable 16 substantially around the full circumference of the cable.
To simplify the installation of the cable-gripping tool 15 around the cable 16, the body 24 is made of separable longitudinal parts 24a and 24b, with the plane of cutting being through the bore 25 and between the opposed slips 27. As best seen in FIG. 3, longitudinally spaced pairs of bolts 38 straddling the longitudinal bore 25 may be used as necessary to fasten the separable body parts 24a and 24b together. Thus, it will be realized that the separable body parts 24a and 24b may be readily assembled and secured around the cable 16 without having to further sever the cable. If desired, a split wiping ring 39 may be disposed within a concentric counterbore 40 in the nose of the body 24 to wipe away mud on the cable 16 as the cable-gripping tool 15 is traveling downwardly thereon. Lateral fluid passages 41 may also be provided in the body 24 between the longitudinal bore 25 and the exterior of the body to permit well fluids to pass readily through the bore.
Turning now to FIGS. 5-7, a well tool 42 is shown dependently suspended in a borehole 43 from a suspension cable 44. The well tool 42 has become inadvertently lodged in a reduced portion of the borehole 43 such as might be caused, for example, by a cave-in as at 45. To illustrate the practice of the method of the present invention with the apparatus 10, it is assumed that the well tool 42 is lodged with a force so great that the tool cannot be safely released by pulling without risking parting of the cable 44 near the surface of the ground.
Thus, briefly stated, once it has been determined that the tool 42 is firmly stuck, the tool-and-cable retrieving apparatus 10 is assembled around the cable 44 and low ered by a tubing string 46 into the borehole 43. As best seen in FIG. 5, once the tool-and-cable retrieving apparatus 10 has reached the stuck well tool 42, tool-engaging means, such as an overshot grapple 47 or the like, at the lower end of the retrieving apparatus are engaged onto the stuck well tool 42 to impose a downward force thereon and connect it to the tubing string 46. Then, as best seen in FIG. 6, the cable-gripping tool 15 is co-engaged between the cable 44 and the tool-and-cable retrieving apparatus 10. Once these tools 10 and 15 are co-engaged, the tubing string 46 is pulled upwardly with sufiicient force to break the weak-point (not shown) within the stuck tool 42. With the weak-point broken, the lower end of the cable 44 will be freed from the well tool 42 to permit the cable to be reeled to the surface. Then, once the suspension cable 44 is out of the way, the tubing string 46 is manipulated with sufficient force to dislodge the stuck well tool 42 and return it to the surface.
Accordingly, when using the tool-and-cable releasing tool 10 of the present invention, a suitable well tool-securing device, such as an overshot grapple 47 that, if circumstances so require, may be the one shown on page 768 of the 1962-63 Composite Catalog of Oil Field Equipment and Services, is connected to the lower end of the outer member 12. Although the overshot 47 (FIGS. -7) may be coupled directly to threads 48 on the lower end of the outer tubular member 12, it is generally preferred to connect the overshot to the lower end of one or more drill collars 49 and 50 which are in turn dependently connected from the threads 48. In this manner, the weight of the drill collars 49 and 50 will impose a downward force on the stuck well tool 42 that is greater than the force necessary to part the cable 44 from the stuck well tool. By using the already-described cut-and-thread procedure, the overshot 47, drill collars 49 and 50, and the tool-and-cable releasing apparatus are passed over the suspension cable 44 and lowered into the borehole 43 on the lower end of the tubing string 46 as the tubing string is progressively assembled at the surface of the ground and lowered into the borehole.
Then, as best seen in FIG. 5, Whenever the overshot 47 has come into engagement with the upper end of the stuck well tool 42, it may be appropriately manipulated through the tubing string 46 to securely engage it with the upper end of the wall tool. It should be noted that the cooperative co-engagement of the lugs 13 and slots 14 will permit rotation to be transmitted to the overshot 47. Moreover, should it be necessary to impose a downward force on the well tool 42 greater than the weight of the drill collars 49 and 50, it is necessary only to lower the tubing string 46 until the lugs 13 rest on the shoulders at the lower end of the slots 14.
As the overshot 47 is being engaged with the stuck well tool 42, it may be preferred (by making suitable piping connections at the surface) to maintain fluid circulation down the tubing string 46 and out the open lower end of the overshot to remove any sediment or the like that may have become lodged on top of the well tool. Furthermore, it is also preferable to maintain a slight tension on the suspension cable 44 to prevent it from becoming entangled within the tubing string 46 or the tool-and cable releasing apparatus 10.
As best seen in FIG. 6, once the overshot 47 has been firmly engaged with the upper end of the stuck well tool 42, the tubing string 46 is lowered slightly while maintaining a slight upward tension on the cable 44 to permit the inner tubular member 11 to telescope into the outer member 12 as far as the cooperative arrangement of the lugs 13 and slots 14 will permit. Then, either before the tubing string 46 is slacked-otf or shortly thereafter, the
cable-gripping tool 15 is assembled around the suspension cable 44 and released and allowed to free-fall down the cable and come to rest on the extended dogs 17.
It will be appreciated that, at this point, the suspension cable 44 is being held taut and the cable-gripping slips 27 in the cable-gripping tool 15 are securely gripped thereto. Thus, as best seen in FIG. 7, by picking up on the tubing string 46 to at least the full length of travel permitted by the cooperative arrangement of lugs 13 and slots 14, the dogs 17 will pull the cable-gripping tool 15 upwardly therewith. Inasmuch as the cable-gripping tool 15 cannot move upwardly relative to the cable 44 it will be appreciated that this upward pull will progressively stretch the suspension cable until either the cable parts or, if such is provided, the weak-point 51 within the stuck well tool 42 will fail. This will, of course, release at least a major portion of the suspension cable 44 from the upper end of the stuck Well tool 42. It should be appreciated that should the downward travel of the tubing string 46 as shown in FIG. 6 dislodge the stuck well tool 42 so that it falls free from the wall of the borehole 43, the suspension cable 44 will be similarly stretched and parted from the wall tool.
In any event, once the suspension cable 44 has been separated from the well tool 42, it is necessary only to reel the cable upwardly by its winch (not shown) at the surface of the ground. Should the terminal portion of the cable 44 be connected to a member 52 having a diameter too great to pass between the opposed free ends of the pivoted dogs 17, it will urge the dogs upwardly and outwardly into their apertures 18 so as to permit the free passage of the terminal portion 52 of the cable on up into the tubing string 46 and to the surface. Once the cable 44 has been removed from the tubing string 46, it is necessary only then to manipulate the well tool 42 with the tubing string 46 until the stuck well tool has been freed. Then, the tubing string 46 can be successively disconnected at the surface as the tool 42 is recovered without difficulty.
Accordingly, it will be appreciated that the new and improved methods of the present invention provide a positive approach for the separate recovery of the suspension cable as well as the tool itself where a cable-suspended tool has become stuck in a well bore. By first parting the cable at a point at least fairly close to the upper end of the well tool, the cable may be retrieved intact as well as removed from subsequent interference with the operation. Similarly, the new and improved apparatus of the present invention provides means for coupling a well toolengaging or coupling member to the well tool and then moving the well tool and its suspension cable relative to one another and in opposite directions so as to part the cable from the tool and permit separate recovery of each.
While particular embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it is apparent that changes and modifications may be made without departing from this invention in its broader aspects; and, therefore, the aim in the appended claims is to cover all such changes and modifications as fall within the true spirit and scope of this invention.
What is claimed is:
1. A method for freeing a well tool dependently suspended from a suspension cable and lodged in a well bore comprising the steps of: coupling a first member to the well tool; coupling a second member to the suspension cable above said first member; moving said first and second members apart with suflicient force to separate at least a major portion of the suspension cable from the well tool; and retrieving the suspension cable and well tool.
2. Apparatus for freeing a well tool dependently connected to a suspension cable and lodged in a well bore comprising: first means adapted for connection to the well tool and imparting a downwardly directed force thereto; second means adapted for selectively gripping the suspension cable and immovable upwardly with respect thereto; and third means between said first and second means adapted for connection to a stronger suspension member and movable upwardly thereby from a first position engaging said second means toward a second position with a force sufficient for moving said first and second means apart and separating at least a major portion of the suspension cable from the well tool.
3. The apparatus of claim 2 further including means connecting said first and third means for limited longitudinal movement at least as far as the distance between said first and second position.
4. The apparatus of claim 2 wherein said first means includes well tool-securing means dependently connected to one or more joints of pipe.
5. The apparatus of claim 2 wherein said second means includes a rigid body adapted for sliding downwardly along the suspension cable, and means on said body adapted for gripping the suspension cable and preventing upward movement of said body relative thereto.

How to Find a Good Trainer
Tired of moving from trainer to trainer only to find that your workout results pay the price? With very little agreement between different trainers even within the same gym, it's difficult to decide which trainer has your best interests in mind, and which trainer just plain doesn't. Strength and conditioning coach Arnav Sarkar breaks it down for us and tells us how to find a good trainer. Listen up!
How can an average gym-goer ensure that the advice he/she gets from a trainer is authentic and accurate?
Word of mouth is a good way to estimate a trainer's competence. If his clients speak about the positive experiences that they have had training under him, then chances are that he is worth listening to. This however is not always possible, especially if the trainer is new. In this case taking a few sessions under him would be the best way to go. A good trainer will listen to you and not try to kill you during the workout, and neither will he ask you to follow extremes in your dietary habits. If he is asking you to make extreme changes like give up a particular food group, or asking you to train 2 hours from day 1, then he is likely to be incompetent at his work, and best if avoided.
My friend Sean Casey wrote a very definitive article on how to choose a trainer, and one that I recommend all should read to make a better choice when selecting a trainer.
Many trainers recommend protein and fiber/vitamin supplementation without checking their clients' current food intake or even body type. Is this correct? Are all trainers qualified to give dietary advice, or do only a few courses cover dietary theory as well?
Why only protein and vitamin supplements, they also try to sell anything from Creatine, fat burners to dangerous drugs and steroids too. The reason is simple, to make extra cash by selling you costly and overpriced supplements. You see, most of these supplements offer a large percentage of profit to the trainer if he can sell them to you, and most of the times people who buy them, think or are brainwashed to believe that these supplements are the key to physique transformation and thus become regular users, and become a monthly source of income for the trainer.
On the other hand a good trainer is not a supplement salesman! He will first try to know about the client's food intake, physical demands, etc before advising a diet and/or supplements. Plus good trainers will often avoid suggesting a supplement for most unless they are not at an advance stage. As far as whether trainers should give dietary advice is concerned, I think that a well read trainer can give dietary suggestions to healthy and normal individuals, but if the client is facing any medical problem like high BP, high blood sugar, etc then he should suggest the client to meet a nutritionist or some medical authority who works with patients of the same medical problem.
Are all "certified" gym trainers at the same plane? There is very little knowledge about the hierarchy or credibility of trainer certifications. Could you briefly, explain this to us.
As much as trainer's these days love to brag that they are "certified" to impress prospective clients, the fact remains that being certified does not guarantee much. For eg there are some very well known and respected courses out there which conduct open book examination, meaning that the trainer can sit at home, look for the answers in the book and give the exam. So when someone passes such an exam, there is no way to guess how good he or she is actually.
Plus even with the courses that take exams in a regular manner, often times the course itself involves things that are more theoretical and less practical. For eg most courses teach a ton about physiology, but very little about the specifics of program design, exercise progression, and very little to nothing is tested in a real practical gym to see if the trainer is really able to apply what he has learned in class. Having said that I would still suggest that between a non certified and certified trainer, your best chances of improvements are still probably by working with the certified trainer, but overall I would suggest that looking at the trainer's track record and how well you feel working out with him might be a better indicator when choosing a trainer.
How can we tell if a trainer is good?
Here are some indicators that can be used:
- If his or her clients look healthy, strong, and feel great working with him/her, then that trainer is likely to be good
- If he is known to be a thorough professional, who does not cancel sessions all the time without reason and shows up on time, then he is worth trying. Also beware of trainers who spend a lot of your training time talking on their cell
- Continuously keeps educating himself
- Pays attention to how you workout and points out to what you are doing wrong when you make any mistakes
- Enquires about what you ate, and at times shows displeasure if you make dietary slips
On the other hand here are some ways not to judge if a trainer is good:
- Has a great physique- often they can be genetically blessed or use steroids, so this by itself is not a complete criteria to choose
- Has results with clients that are too good to be true- if a trainer brags about how most of his clients lose 30 pounds in 2 months or gain 30 pounds of muscles in 2 months, then he is most likely using steroids and drugs to achieve such results. A good trainer will often focus on the process of training regularly, eating well rather than make out of the world guarantees
- Is young and has too many certifications- a master trainer who has been in the profession for 2 decades or more can collect a lot of certifications over such a long period of time, but if someone who has been in the profession for a few years and brags about 10 or more certifications that he has, then chances are that he is a fake

News Corp. considering new goal for Fox Soccer channel
Send this to a friend
Soccer is so popular in America that the Fox Soccer channel may air original narrative programming instead. News Corp. is considering dropping the sport entirely and turning the channel into a general entertainment network, according to a report in the Los Angeles Times.
While the company is not ready to confirm the rumors, Fox Soccer recently lost a major deal to NBC Sports Group which could cause the channel to plummet in the ratings. NBC became the exclusive carrier of all 380 English Premier League games in English and Spanish across all platforms. NBC Sports Group was reported to have paid $83 million for the rights, more than triple what Fox Soccer was previously paying.
According to the Times, Fox Soccer hits almost 50 million homes, so News Corp. won't be surrendering that market anytime soon. Sources close to the situation claim that Fox's soccer programming may migrate to a new national network, Fox Sports 1, to be created out of what is now the Speed channel. Meanwhile, the current Fox Soccer channel will become something akin to FX.
News Corp. will then have to undergo a re-branding initiative which will start with convincing distributors to allow it to reinvent the channels, according to the report. Distribution contracts can be scrapped if a network makes substantial programming changes, which can be good or bad news for News Corp. If all goes well and the new channel is well conceived, the company can be looking at a success story. However, with distributors looking to cut costs and underperforming channels, as Time Warner recently did with Ovation, then distributors could cut the Fox networks with ease.
