Energy giant Shell UK has today publicly apologised for the serious failings which led to a massive explosion at its Bacton gas terminal.
The hearing at Norwich Crown Court has heard how the blast in February 2008 could have killed as many as 10 people, had it happened at a different time.
Fortunately the blast happened when workers were swapping over with night-shift teams.
Shell Uk has admitted seven breaches of health and safety and environmental regulations following the explosion and subsequent fire.
Clare Donahue, of Un-NaturalGas.org, is a principal founder of Sane Energy Project, a coalition of like-minded groups relative to the environment and how gas pipelines and fracking are destroying our lives in so many ways. Consider her comments and plan on seeing The Pipe.

Dear Minister Pat Rabbitte,
Following your interview on Morning Ireland programme (June 1 2011) Pobal Chill Chomáin is very concerned with many of your comments in relation to the Corrib gas project as they appear to show a lack of familiarity with a project which has taken over the lives of the residents of this parish for the past 11 years.
A number of people have requested a sample letter to send to TD's. Below is a sample letter which can be sent
Here is a small selection of the messages of support sent in to the website, since "The Pipe" was shown on More4 on Tuesday. Other messages of support can be viewed on http://www.facebook.com/shelltosea
Sorry i have to ask what mayo man enda has done to help you ? Did he support you before his election .
CORRIB gas partner Vermilion expects to pay Marathon Oil an additional $135 million (€95m) in order to complete the purchase of its 18.5% share of the gas field.
Listen to Richie O'Donnell of The Pipe and John Egan of Shell in interview here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-13764678
What do you do when a gas company wants to drill a pipeline through your neighbourhood?
That's what some residents in Rossport, County Mayo, have been fighting against since gas was discovered off the coast of Corrib in 1996.
Shell Oil wants to pipe the natural gas from under the sea to a refining plant inland.
ALL the gardaí at the centre of the 'Corrib rape tape' debacle have now been interviewed by the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (GSOC), it has emerged.
The chairman of the garda watchdog, Dermot Gallagher, also confirmed last week that the videotape – in which officers were inadvertently recorded joking about raping a female Corrib protestor – has been sent out of the jurisdiction for forensic analysis to confirm its authenticity.
LAST NOVEMBER, at the annual meeting of the Northern Plains Resource Council, which took place in the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Billings, Montana, I watched a cowboy cry.
As someone born east of the Mississippi, I'm aware that I may have my vocabulary words mixed up here. The crying man called himself a rancher, not a cowboy. But he had the hat. The legs in the blue jeans were bowed. And he said things like, Sometimes you have to ride with the brand, and sometimes you have to speak yer mind.
Which sounded like cowboy talk to me.
Madam, - Terry Nolan of Shell's call for "real dialogue" on the Erris pipeline/refinery stand-off does not convince. He says, for example, that "the project has been through a rigorous planning and consents process". This is disingenuous: did he not notice Lorna Siggins's report in your edition of October 19th which referred to omissions from the original environmental impact statement regarding cold venting (the release of contaminated gas into the atmosphere), and explained how the Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Marine and Natural Resources refused to allow North Mayo residents to address it on this issue?

Dáil Éireann - Volume 614 - 07 February, 2006
Written Answers. - Economic Competitiveness.
Mr. Durkan Mr. Durkan
128. Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the action he intends to take to ensure the competitiveness of Irish industry, with particular reference to escalating costs and the tendency for industry to relocate to lower cost economies; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4047/06]
Mr. Martin Mr. Martin
Mr. Martin: Ireland's unprecedented period of economic prosperity has led to the creation of a modern, advanced European economy typified by all the associated advantages of high incomes, employment growth and rising living standards. Our future prosperity and success is dependent on our ability to develop, attract and retain higher value added operations that are characterised by both high productivity output and higher returns to labour.
Despite increasing global competitive pressures, the latest quarterly national household survey from the Central Statistics Office shows that the number of persons in employment grew by 96,200 in the year to reach almost 1.99 million in the third quarter of 2005. Moreover, we have seen employment increase in most sectors of the economy, not only construction, with financial and business services showing strong growth. These facts demonstrate that we remain a competitive economy for both foreign and indigenous enterprise and retain a strong capacity to generate and sustain employment while managing the transition to a more knowledge and services oriented economy.
To further expedite this transition my Department and its agencies are encouraging enterprises to undertake increased levels of investment in research, to make more and better use of technology, to invest in training, and to encourage more innovation across all sectors of the economy. This will help firms produce improved value added products and services. In the longer term this will provide longer lasting and higher quality jobs.
Sustaining Ireland's competitiveness continues to be a key priority for this Government. It is monitored in particular through the work and advice of the National Competitiveness Council. The Government's response is manifested in numerous ways, most recently as evidenced by the fact that for the third consecutive year it implemented a non-inflationary budget in budget 2006. This displays the Government's prudent fiscal management of the economy at a time of ever increasing global competitiveness pressures.
In my Department I have assigned more resources and given more powers to the Compe[154] tition Authority. I am currently steering legislation through the Oireachtas to repeal the groceries order. Furthermore, I have established the enterprise advisory group, which is charged with the overseeing the implementation of the recommendations of the enterprise strategy group, ESG. The group's work is progressing well and it will submit its first periodic report to Government on the pace and progress in implementing the ESG's recommendations by June.
Another fundamental element to safeguarding our competitiveness will be the successful completion of the present partnership talks. These talks will strongly influence our economic progress over the next few years. They will be crucial in setting wage increases at sustainable levels, which will both simultaneously protect our competitiveness and improve our living standards.

No Transport residential move in Los Angeles
Communication, and quote and service order processes were prompt, very organized, and accurate. Rudy and Tyler did outstanding work, across the board. This was a difficult move-in. Everything but the garage required a trip up a flight of stairs, and access to all of the bedrooms involved a second flight. Rudy and Tyler were polite, communicative, and fulfilled my requests exactly as described. They worked very hard, carefully, and in an extremely efficient manner.
Also, both of them are clearly in great shape, and it was very obvious that this had advantages, both in minimizing the risk of any damage (There was none), and in minimizing the time it took to complete the job. (Even if you find a low hourly rate, it is no advantage if the movers work slowly, and do not have the strength or conditioning to be careful.) I have moved many times, and have never before hired a crew that was as good as Rudy and Tyler.
The final total was exactly the same as the quote. There were no extra fees tacked on that you will often find if you hire a crew that - seemingly - has a lower rate. I recommend Meathead Movers with the greatest enthusiasm, and no reservations.

Local residential move in Los Angeles
As a 13 year US Air Force veteran, I've moved all around the world and had many experiences with moving companies... Some good and some not so good. Meathead Movers were so professional and efficient, and most of all they treated my things as if they were their own. I can honestly say this is the very first move I've ever had that nothing ended up broken or damaged. The icing on the cake was just how courteous and upbeat the movers were. Not a single groan or complaint, even when they spent most of their day jogging back and forth to my new place on the 4th floor! I will definitely recommend Meathead Movers to everyone I come across, in fact I already have! Thank you again!
one box was completely broken during move and a baseboard was significantly damaged with a 4 inch long gouge. no notice was given when the damage to the baseboard was made.
The movers were very professional and did an excellent job. Very satisfied with the service. I have used this company for 4 previous moves.
friendly, quick, and super nice guys
Nice, clean and friendly movers. Nothing scary about them....
The guys are friendly, they care, and they hustle.
Selected you first from internet due to your name. Very professional website. Liked CEO video.
Everything about the experience was great. Guys were very courteous, professional and extremely
Hard working . I will absolutely recommend you. Wish you could teach other companies your method
Of business.
Quick efficient snd friendly movers.
Careful with moving things
your guys are amazing! all my things we're taken care of and it was done very
professionally and was very inexpensive. these guys rock!!
Friendly and quick
Absolutely spectacular service--such hardworking guys!
Courteous, professional, prompt, fast.
You have been incredibly thorough throughout the lead up to the move. And the packers today were incredible. They were efficient, professional, and made moving seem less overwhelming.
I like that you called to confirm my move date a week or so before the actual move. I like that your movers arrived on time. I liked how professional and efficient your movers were. Your guys set the bar high -- the movers on the other end of move in Chicago fell very far below that bar.
The boys are energetic and friendly. It's obvious that they've been trained to move carefully and efficiently. They work well together, which is fun to watch.
There were a number of issues:
1) Lack of transparency with the sales representation: I felt that there was some miscommunication between myself and the sales representative. My opinion is that she should have been more forthcoming about the time needed to move given the list of items I provided. She said that I could just stop the movers when a certain number of hours had passed to try to keep the costs down (which was important to me), but this really didn't seem possible during the move. When I spoke to the moving team leader, he looked at the inventory list and said, "This will be an 8-hour move." Fine, I just wish the sales rep had really just told me the truth at the beginning and I could have planned accordingly. Even if it was an honest mistake, I felt like it came off dishonest. And there is a big difference between $850 and $1500.
2) I also wish the sales rep would have told me the movers required a lunch at 12 noon and that they would have been "working since 7am" according to the moving team (because they were coming from far away). I completely understand that a team requires a lunch, of course, but I would have moved up the arrival time from 10am to 9am to compensate. I had a very tight schedule to try to miss the bulk of LA traffic. Because we didn't get on the road until 1pm, the truck took 1.5 hours rather than 1 hour (50 minutes no traffic). At double drive time, I paid for a hour more of service that was not really needed. I know the traffic extremely well and it really does make a difference to leave anytime after 12:45. If I'd ever thought the move would be more than 6 hours, I would have realized they needed a lunch, but good service means the sales rep provides this information.
3) When the moving team arrived they said there were no boxes listed on their form. The inventory Meathead Movers sent to my email does have 35 boxes, so I don't know how those disappeared from then to the actual contract/information given to the movers. I haven't checked back through the contract I signed, and again, that is probably my fault. But nevertheless, the customer isn't necessarily going to assume that the boxes would disappear between the inventory and the contract. This was very awkward for me when the movers arrived and told me this. They said they would take them, but it felt like it was a "favor" and made me uncomfortable.
4) The last time I used Meathead Movers, I had a great experience and no damage to my items. This time, I had significant damage to several items. Most of it I didn't notice until later, but it is unacceptable.
2) Again, last time I used Meathead Movers, I had an amazing team that would run back and forth from the truck and really showed outstanding teamwork and professionalism. While I think the moving team supervisor was very professional, I wouldn't say the workers were the fastest team. If given a choice, I wouldn't choose them again. The other two movers would make jokes at the team leaders expense (when he couldn't hear) and seemed to chat away at the truck. I felt like I had to come down to "make sure" they were moving quickly. Again, I'm just comparing this to my previous experience with Meathead where I never felt like I had to do that.
Because I had such an amazing experience the last time I used Meathead (and I said so on my Yelp review from 2011), I'm disappointed in this service. I could have paid another lower-rate service $500 less for the move, but I wanted everything to go smoothly and with no damage. Part of the issue this time was miscommunication with the sales rep on my part, but a great deal was low service in terms of damage to my items and overall transparency in the process. I'm sorry to say I won't be using your services again.
I like that you were able to fix problems when they arose.
Fast, friendly, and efficient

(CNN) -- Having played the same hole 10 times in one day, you'd think Raphael Jacquelin would be sick of the sight of the 18th at Valencia's Parador de El Saler.
But the French golfer was more relieved to have ended a two-year wait for a European Tour title, especially with a new member of the family on the way.
"That is very tiring but I am really, really happy," he said after winning a nine-hole playoff at the Spanish Open on Sunday, the equal longest decider in the tour's 41-year history.
The 38-year-old clinched his fourth European Tour win, and first since triumphing at the 2011 Sicilian Open, having been tied with Chile's Felipe Aguilar and Germany's Maximilian Kieffer after the 72 regulation holes.
Aguilar, also 38, bowed out at the third extra hole, and the other two matched each other par for par in the next five.
Read: Record cut boosts 'birdies for Boston' bid
Jacquelin finally broke the deadlock with a wedge to five feet, sinking the birdie putt to deny 22-year-old Kieffer his maiden top-level victory and claim the €250,000 ($327,000) first prize. It should lift the 146th-ranked player inside the top 100.
"I could not make any putts (in the play-off) but the last one dropped, which means a lot for me and my family," Jacquelin said on the European Tour website after taking his career earnings past €9 million ($11.8 million).
"There's another baby coming at the end of November; every time I get a baby, there's a win so I'll have a football team after a few years!"
Scotland's Marc Warren had led for most of the final day, but four bogeys in his last five holes meant he finished in a tie for fourth -- one shot away from making the playoff as he was left to rue a three-putt at 18.
Sergio Garcia tied for 12th at his national event, having flown from Augusta after finishing eighth at the Masters last Sunday.
Miguel Angel Jimenez, playing his first tournament since breaking his leg in a skiing accident last year, missed the halfway cut along with former major champions Michael Campbell and Jose Maria Olazabal.

|A Non-Profit Educational and Caretaking Corporation
Dedicated to the preservation, performance and enjoyment of the "King of Instruments"
The MTOS work group will meet Tuesday 6:15PM at the Workshop until further notice.
Project: Working on things to do with Pipe Organs!
Come join us we're always learning and improving our skills, be it rebuilding / restoring organ chest or what ever it takes to make it work.
This is the "new" Robert Morton Console. It suffered moderate water and pest damage while in storage in Atlanta. That damage has been repaired, pedal board rebuilt; all three keyboards cleaned and re-bushed; and new stop-tab bolsters custom manufactured making room for nearly twice as many SAMs as original. The number of thumb and toe pistons has also been greatly increased.
Once funds are collected to allow the purchase of the needed interface boards - they will be installed, the console painted it's final color - and details gold leafed. At that point - it will be ready to replaced the original console at the Temple Theater. The original console is in only fair condition - itself in need of an overhaul; and does not have the needed number of stop-tabs to accomodate desired expansion and enchancement of Pipe-work (i.e. additonal ranks of pipe).
|The Temple Theater in Meridian, MS houses one of only two remaining Theater Organs installed in it's original location in the State of Mississippi. Both this organ - and it's sibling at the Saenger Theater in Hattiesburg are under the care of the Magnolia Chapter of the American Theater Organ Society, as well as several other organ - smaller and larger - installed in private residences around the state. Magnolia Chapter membership is open to anyone with an interest in preserving, playing and enjoying these magnificent King of Instruments. You can click here - or on the picture above for more pictures of the Temple Theater.
|Here - Chapter member Frank Evans is testing the organ after some repairs.
This is the console of the Temple's Robert Morton 3/8 Theater Organ.
Noted as a "3/8" as it has three full keyboards - controlling 8 "ranks" or voices of pipes.
You can click here - or on the picture - for more pictures of this organ.
Where the music comes from
|If these mighty instruments interest you - come on and join us in keeping these wonderful gifts from the past making beautiful music!

Slammers owners optimistic despite lower attendance
By Bob Okon Sun-Times Media September 8, 2013 9:50PM
Article Extras
Updated: October 10, 2013 6:17AM
Joliet Slammers attendance was down by more than 10,000 this year, but the new management has an upbeat outlook on next year.
The minor league baseball franchise has had three changes of ownership in the last four offseasons, but there won't be a change this time, said Josh Schaub, who leads the group of owners finishing their first season.
"We're extremely solvent," Schaub said Friday. "We're on solid footing. We're getting ready for 2014. We're all in."
The Slammers also cut front office staff in midseason from 11 to seven. Schaub called it a "restructuring" and said it was not a financial move.
Attendance at Silver Cross Field for the Slammers, whose season ended Thursday, was 93,875, ranking ninth in the 13-team Frontier League, according to league records. The average attendance per game was just under 2,000.
That compares to 2012 attendance of 104,019 under the previous ownership, about 2,200 a game. The Slammers last year ranked eighth in attendance out of 14 teams.
A losing season on the field did not help this year. But even in 2011, when the Slammers won the Frontier League championship under a new owner and attendance was 108,610, management said that was not enough for the team to be profitable.
The attendance decline this summer might seem a disappointment, given the Slammers' strategy of lowering food prices and offering assorted deals to attract more fans. But "we put more actual bodies in the ballpark this year than last year, believe it or not," general manager Chris Franklin said.
Franklin said attendance counts can be misleading because they include tickets that may have been sold as part of a season package or group plan but were not used. He said the turnstile count at Silver Cross Field was higher this year, but he would not release the figure.
It's obvious, however, that the turnstile count in 2012 was a lot lower than the attendance. When Joliet, which owns Silver Cross Field, worked on a rental agreement for the new owners, the attendance number used for last year was 70,000, which was the turnstile number, City Manager Thomas Thanas said.
Thanas also sees reasons to be optimistic after the new owners' first season.
"They were very clear to me that this is a three-year plan," he said. "They knew what they were walking into. They were walking into a brand that was extremely bruised when it went under the name of JackHammers."
The JackHammers' era started in 2002 with big crowds at Silver Cross Field. But the team suffered during the recession, and the JackHammers folded in 2010, owing money to many area businesses.
The city has tried to help out by lowering the rent at Silver Cross Field to reflect a less-robust business.
The rent for the JackHammers was $230,000, although they did not pay the rent during their last season. The rent was lowered to $150,000 for the next owners, and Schaub's group renegotiated it down to $50,000 a year.
The city negotiated a variable rent, depending on attendance, but attendance would have to hit 110,000 before Joliet could begin collecting more money.
Meanwhile, the Slammers are busy making plans for next year, Franklin said. Owners have already met with the staff during two all-day meetings, working on plans to develop business during the offseason, he said.
"We've got the first year under out belt," Franklin said. "For this group, we haven't been in the building for a full year. I'm really excited for the offseason to put our plans into effect."
The team is still working on its budget for next year, but Franklin said some of the four staff positions cut in midseason would be filled but on a seasonal basis.
Schaub said the new ownership has a positive outlook after the first season.
"All the bills are paid. We're ready to go," he said. "I think we're on a steady footing for the long term."

pennystocks2232.com Treat Your Binary Options Trad (go back »)
October 20 2012, 6:20 PM
So, you have identified a number of straightforward approaches to strike some binary solution trades. But, can it seriously be a way to make a residing on the internet? You superior imagine it! Not just simply because it can, but simply because if you don't feel it can be your most important source of income resource, it may possibly not take place for you.
Seem, buying and selling binary options is just buying and selling. Investing with a new twist I will acknowledge. A uncomplicated twist that quite a few traders have been looking for! I have been preaching "Maintain It Easy" for a long time. day trading Digital choices make that a lot more possible than at any time. They are basic by nature. You can add a number of twists to your trading (and really should in my view) with spreads and strategies, but the reality of the matter is you just have to choose up or down.
You might say that is genuine of any variety of buying and selling. Nonetheless, standard trading goes on and on. Binary options expire. So the trade is over at some point. With stock trading for case in point, you could hold that stock for years in most daytrading6636.com instances (unless you opt for a actual dud that goes out of small business). The similar is true of currency, futures, and other markets. Choices expire, and most binary alternatives expire just about every hour.
Due to the fact these fairly new kind of choices contracts are not governed by Wall Road, several seem to be to assume they are a fraud. Personally, I am glad that Wall Road won't have their finger in the pie! That tends to make binary investing even far more appealing to me.
You can be guaranteed that the economic giants are seeking at the industry, and seeking pennystocks2232.com to get their arms on it! I am hoping that is a handful of a long time off. Also, with the net in the image, we could have offshore binary organizations that would not ever bow down to Wall Street. Might hat's off to them!
If you and I take care of our trading cash flow like a organization, it will shell out off like a single. A business has a organization program. Do you have a person as a trader? You must! If a company will get off monitor they can seem at their strategy and see the place they failed. options trading You can do the similar as a trader. And indeed, you can do it with binary options, just as nicely as any sort of trading, probably far better!
So never let Wall Street or the nay sayers out there explain to you that you can not make a complete time living on the web with binary trading. You can! Just the other day I was at a website the place the leading puppy binary trader for that day had produced around $20,000. The 2nd area trader was up over 17k for the day. Third location penny stocks was just underneath 13k. Certainly, these are Each day figures.
You really don't have to be a best dog to make a living with it do you? A handful of hundred a day would transform many people's lives. You can get there rather quickly, and you can open up your account with a handful of hundred dollars (attempt to do that on Wall Road). So what are you waiting for. Why not get started off now? Just do not overlook to handle it like a organization, cause it is. A genuine organization that you can take to the financial institution!

Roberta Vinci secured Italy's fifth Fed Cup final appearance in eight years on Monday after battling past Lucie Safarova of the Czech Republic to give the hosts an unassailable lead on the red clay of Palermo.
Vinci's 6-3, 6-7, 6-3 win over Safarova handed Italy a 3-1 lead ahead of the dead doubles rubber to be played on Monday afternoon.
Italy will now meet Russia, winners Sunday over Slovakia, in the final on November 2-3.
Early lead
The hosts had powered to a 2-0 lead on Saturday after straight singles victories for Sara Errani and Vinci over Safarova and Petra Kvitova respectively.
Former Wimbledon winner Kvitova gave the Czechs hope of launching a fightback when she defeated Errani 2-6, 6-2, 6-0 on Sunday.
However any momentum gained, and indeed the day's play, was soon halted by rain which had already disrupted proceedings, prompting the decision to carry the tie over to Monday.
Vinci, who was tied at 1-1 from her previous two encounters with Safarova, showed little fear on her way to a commanding 6-3 win in the first set.
Safarova put up more resistance in the second and after spurning the chance to close out the set while serving at 5-4, she made amends in the tiebreak where she dropped just two points to force a decider.
The Czech burst into a 2-0 lead in the third set but Vinci broke back and maintained the pressure to take a 5-3 lead before sealing victory on her third match point.
Flavia Pennetta and Francesa Schiavone are slated to face Andrea Hlavackova and Lucie Hradecka in the doubles later Monday.
