ah yeah....
When you start to turn orange cut down a bit and yu should be good.

Unless you like looking like John Boehner.
John Boehner is the Speaker of the US House of representatives. Given all the stuff in the news about the Sequestration I'm amazed you have no idea who he is.
Is he bright orange froma spray tan?
It was all a lie...I now need reading glasses. Carrots. lying bastards.
Probably every carrot in the world. Even with all the carrots I've eaten, I'm still going blind. In the next few years, I'll probably have shooting eye pain and retinal tearing.
dont know but eyes are muscles so roll em around often . close your eyes for 20 minutes/as needed or so & just roll your eyes in every direction.
None because it doesn't work.
Still doesn't work
Still doesn't work I think we've just been tricked.

While it's still early, one lesson is clear: The credibility of the vote won't come from technical soundness but from political goodwill.
Uhuru Kenyatta may have won the Kenyan presidential election, but the dust has yet to settle.
He barely made it past the 50 percent mark to avoid a runoff with the current Prime Minister Raila Odinga. The election itself exceeded and fell below expectations. Violence did not follow, as some warned, and the voter turnout was much higher than predicted. What looked like a likely runoff between Odinga and Kenyatta appears to be over.
All of this raises some new questions.
I spoke with Kennedy Opalo to hear about his personal experience voting in the election, why the turnout was higher than expected and what may come next following the final results.
"The election of Kenyatta and Ruto confirmed that, ultimately, the administration of justice...is political and should therefore not be treated as a mere law enforcement problem."
Opalo is a Nairobi native who is presently studying for his Political Science PhD at Stanford University as the Susan Ford Dorsey Fellow. He also writes the popular blog Opalo's Weblog, a vital resource on issues regarding Kenyan politics. In the run up to the election, Opalo published analysis of the campaigns and opinion polls. Read on for his view of the process and where this is all headed.
What was your experience like in terms of voting? How did people you know feel about the campaign, election, media coverage and vote tally?
I waited for three hours to vote. And this was in a relatively sparsely populated area of Nairobi. I heard stories of people who got in line at 5 a.m. and did not vote until in the early afternoon.
The campaigns this time were not any different from the past. Real issues took a back burner and were instead replaced by veiled calls for ethnic unity in the respective alliances against unnamed enemies, historical injustices, and straw men. The big media houses did not explicitly take sides but it was evident in the coverage which of the two main coalitions were favored by the respective editorial teams.
With 2007 fresh on everyone's mind, the media went into overdrive with messages of peace. After voting, this was extended to the censoring of anything that was considered inflammatory. While this was commendable, to some extent it went a little too far - especially when the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission was experiencing massive problems with the tallying process; the media did not independently verify the results and censored any substantive discussions of what the faults in the electronic system meant for the integrity and eventual outcome of the election.
The failure of the electronic tallying system exposed a serious lapse in the IEBC's ability to deliver credible elections. Sources close to the commission have admitted that when the system was tested the Friday before the election it failed, yet the commission decided to go live on Monday anyway. I don't think the system meltdown affected the eventual result - a Parallel Vote Tabulation done by Elections Observation Group confirmed IEBC's findings - but it raised concerns over IEBC's vulnerability to manipulation.
Polls leading up to the election had Kenyatta leading, but below the 50 percent threshold needed to win. What happened?
The last polls showed the election close. In the last week or so some polls had Kenyatta up by less than a full percentage point. The very last polls actually showed Odinga ahead by about 2 percentage points. In my estimation I think the pollsters dropped the ball when they gave up on trying to ascertain the potential turnout rates in the different regions of the country. The polls were based on interviews of registered voters as opposed to likely voters. Kenyatta's strongholds not only registered at higher rates, they also voted at much higher rates compared to Odinga's (88.6 percent vs. 84 percent). That made a difference.
Also, as I highlighted on my blog, I think the pollsters did not weight the different regions correctly. Even just based on their numbers you could detect that they were over-estimating Odinga's support by about 3 percentage points.
A lot seemed to depend on turnout and the numbers ended up being much higher than expected. What accounted for this underestimate?
The 86 percent turnout rate was the highest ever in Kenya's history (not the highest participation rate ever, just highest turnout of the registered voters). I think the biggest factor was the fact that this time round we had county elections that actually mattered. All politics is local. And so when people had the chance to elect county governors, senators, women representatives and county assembly people (on top of the usual president and MP) they showed up in large numbers.

We need rain! The garden isn't stressed yet, but it could use a drink. The good news is I finally caught my pesky mole! I do it the old fashion way--patience with a shovel in hand. He tested my patience!
And I made a batch of dill pickles from my own cukes and dill weed.
Time to plant seeds for a fall crop of peas and lettuce.
I spent all spring and summer, until now, clearing out the weeds and jungle, so didn't get my vegetable seeds into the seed starter. Now, I really regret it as I read about all the fresh vegetables out of your gardens and the delightful meals you create. I still have my seed. I have been propagating a lot of the overgrowth so I can share with Laura and the neighbors. This morning I cut part of the raspberry patch back and found lovely clematis completely covered with canes. I am pulling all the raspberries out of that part of the garden and moving them to a place of their own. The clematis is too pretty to be covered with berry bushes. There are dozens of raspberry runners that got way out into the rich soil of the garden and I will dig them and replant them when it gets a little cooler.
Get Ready For Monarch Migration
A monarch feeds on nectar from goldenrod in Rhode Island. Such late...National Wildlife Photo Contest entrant Bernadette Banville.
Thankfully, I have Goldenrod and Asclepius in my garden.
My garlic comes up spontaneously every spring. I've tried planting the bulb seeds by sprinkling them around, but I don't know if that works. I do like garlic.
Ćenek that's what it is all about! I love having whole meals from the garden too. We had potato salad that included home grown potatoes, onions, peppers, garlic; and stir fry that included home grown summer squash, onions, garlic tomatoes. And lots of fruit now!
Joan I enjoy looking at the garlic scapes too. If they are yong and tender they make a good stir fry. Once the flowers form, they are too tough. One year I tried removing the little garlic bulbils to see if the flowers would set seed - sort of a holy grail for some seed savers, garlic from seed would allow hybridization and selection of new varieties - it was tedious and I did not succeed. Oh well!
A heat wave hit us hard this week after last week's one day of very heavy rain. Thankfully, the forest fires were brought under control during that time. I didn't have my timers set for this heat wave and everything looked parched. The raspberries dried up, and after I increased the water, the ones coming ripe were huge, juicy and delightful. A handful of blueberries this morning and I am in Shangri-La!
Lots of birds at the feeders. Did I tell you a flock of turkeys was in my back yard this week and left me a huge feather? There is a vacant lot with a huge basalt rock big as a house a few blocks east of me and a flock of turkeys have lived there for years. They come through the neighborhood on a regular basis and I keep cracked corn in front for them. I never thought they would come down the long driveway between my house and my neighbor's. They discovered the bird feeding stations I have back here and I suspect I will have regular visitors.
Cary took photos of one of my garlic species that has gone to seed. It is pretty and quite unique.
This is a stock photo of the same kind of garlic earlier in the summer:
Here are Cary's photos of the same kind gone to seed:
Eating from food one produces just tastes better. Ćenek, your menu sounds delicious.
Tonight I ate primarily from my garden. I made chili with herbs and onions, with sides of zucchini and red potatoes. Only the pinto beans were bought.
Spud, thank you for that wonderful film of 40 fruits.

Historic spacecraft, fragments of far away worlds, and maps of the galaxy make outer space seem completely within reach. That's the magic of the Adler Planetarium. From the moment visitors pass through the Clark Family Welcome Gallery?a portal of aluminum tubing, fabric, and video projections?they embark on a journey through space, time, and imagination.
Before moving to Chicago, Dan Smith and Steve McDonagh began their culinary careers in New York as a way to support themselves while they looked for work as actors. It wasn't their acting that brought the duo to stardom, however. Against odds of 10,000 to 1, they sent a tape into the Food Network and, to their surprise, became the first-ever winners of the Next Food Network Star contest, landing their own show on the cable channel. That success enabled them to grow their catering business's small café into a full-fledged restaurant serving up brunch, lunch, and dinner.
"Our focus is on what we love, which is mid-century food and the American culture of dining, and that kind of collective memory we have . . . taking those recipes and updating them for a modern palate," Steve says. For example, they top sweet potatoes with black-thyme-pepper marshmallows and create corn dogs with rabbit sausage in red-velvet butter. Steve says that they love creating conversation at their tables, especially as guests reminisce about memories evoked by dishes such as tuna noodle casserole and their Hearty mac 'n' cheese. "For Dan and I, that's a major part of the dining experience," he says. "If we can get their heads moving as well as their mouths, we feel pretty successful." Their efforts have paid off. "The duo is making magic by keeping it simple," said Phil Vettel in a review on WGN. "There's at least one wow ingredient on every plate. A simple burger is brightened with triple-cream cambozola cheese, sugar-cured bacon, and garlic aioli. Bacon-wrapped shrimp arrives on a pile of wonderful white cheddar grits . . . It's fun and delicious."
Dan heads the kitchen, while Steve forges many of the signature cocktails, aiming to discourage the intimidation that often surrounds craft cocktails. He and Dan even authored a book whose 200+ drink recipes include every cocktail made at Hearty, proving that everyone can make the drinks at home. Steve's even been known to chat up tables in hopes of introducing them to a new drink. "It's amazing, the amount of people who don't think they drink gin—so I have to force them," Steve says. "Once you have a gin that is different than that gin that you drank in the 1980s that was so harsh and juniper-heavy, once you're having one of these new American gins along with just simple fresh citrus and the other spirits… you understand what the fuss is about." He's also curated an exclusively American wine list with bottles from unexpected sources—including Dr. Frank's Salmon Run rkatsiteli from the Finger Lakes in New York, which he calls "floral and highly acidic . . . Everybody loves it."
After attending boot camps for a while, Maizah's motivation fizzled and she dropped the course. But refusing to accept defeat? even if it weren't his own?The Boot Camp Guy's cofounder, Chris Brown, gave her a call and made a case. He showed her some before-and-after shots of people she'd met at the sessions before she left?and was astounded by their transformations.
"That could have been me," she kept thinking. So she headed back to class determined that this time, it would be. Months later, she'd gone from a size 16/18 down to a size 12 with extra energy to boot.
As a former Marine with 14 years of professional fitness experience and a passion for helping people reach their goals, Chris knows that boot camp isn't about the stereotypical screaming drill sergeants depicted on TV. Instead, he and his trainers employ a realistic, no-scales and no-diets philosophy and focus on supplying their students with the motivation they need. They identify each student's fitness level within moments and calibrate their workouts accordingly, pitching the signature boot-camp classes at beginner, intermediate, and expert levels. This approach seeks to get students to their own desired level of "skinny", whether that's a size two, size 14, or any other goal. The trainers further outfit their boot-camp base model with nine different tracks?with one designed to shed weight?and total-body sessions up the ante with weights, resistance bands, and mat exercises to strengthen entire physiques rather than honing in on left pinkies. They also encourage students to eat the food they enjoy, and to be mindful of which nutrients their body needs to address deficiencies and restore balance.
The fitness menu unfurls a feast of other group classes. Cycle circuits combine intensive spinning with ab work on the turf and toning dumbbell drills. Cardio-kickboxing classes blend aerobics, boxing, and martial arts. All told, they offer more than 100 classes each month from their well-stocked studio, which the staff stocks with free weights, strength-training machines, exercise balls, and resistance bands, as well as a recently added indoor obstacle course.
A nonprofit theater helmed by passionate cinephiles, Facets Cinematheque instills a love of film in its youngest moviegoers through its groundbreaking children's programs. Since establishing their first children's film exhibition series in 1975, the theater's stewards have branched out into education and outreach, introducing students to positive films and the inspiring stories behind them through channels including family film events, in-school screenings, and the Facets Kids Film Camp. They also oversee the Chicago International Children's Film Festival, which presents hundreds of films from around the globe during its annual autumn run. Though the festival caters to its smallest attendees, its scope is impressively large; welcoming over 20,000 attendees each year, the festival often offers the first screenings of award-winning fare, such as recent Academy Award winner The Fantastic Flying Books Of Mr. Morris Lessmore.
In addition to their children's programming, the theater also lights up its silver screen with indie films, award winners, foreign flicks, and documentaries. Celluloid-caretakers curate a collection of reels that seldom see screenings elsewhere in Chicago, frequently enjoying their city debut within the intimate 125-seat theater. Occasionally, production-team members or film experts join audiences immediately following the show for Q&A sessions—known as film dialogues—taking questions, exploring themes, and providing tips for removing stubborn popcorn kernels from teeth. Upcoming films can be found on Facets' website.
Eyeballs absorb moving pictures thanks to the dual capabilities of Facets' projection system, which handles digital and 35 mm films with equal aplomb. While the ephemeral stories fill brains with new ideas, soda and popcorn—acquirable at the old-fashioned concession stand—fill mouths with flavors that have defined every classic moviegoing experience since Orson Welles first invented the snack.
Beginners and seasoned yogis alike are welcome at 105F - Bikram Yoga Chicago. Here, instructors lead classes that are designed to lure students to their limits, providing a demanding physical challenge for all skill and fitness levels. Each of the three studio locations contains a practice room that is heated to 105 degrees with 40%?45% humidity, creating a sweat-inducing, tropical setting that aids practicers by loosening their muscles as they sink into each stretch.
The 90-minute classes all follow the same sequence: two breathing exercises and 26 standing and seated asanas, which use deep twists and bends to methodically work organ systems and muscle groups throughout the entire body. Instructors slowly guide students into poses and ensure that they can perform each asana at a level that safely challenges their limits. Continued practice can help yogis hone their strength and endurance while also learning to maintain a greater sense of focus and mind-body awareness, even in the face of physical distractions like another student's Sudoku puzzle back tattoo.

For every color in Roscoe's Tavern & Café rainbow-striped logo, there's a reason to visit the multi-faceted bar. During warmer months, a quaint sidewalk café sits outside the entryway. The interior is spacious enough to accommodate pool tables, a dance floor, live-band karaoke, and a regular schedule of drag shows and other events. Of course, the real draw is the bar's well program—more accurately called a "drink well" program, as it promises higher-quality well vodka, whiskey, rum, gin, and tequila. It's helped Roscoe's earn a spot on Out magazine's list of "The 50 Greatest Gay Bars in the World."
With 25-year-old roots in Boystown—the wooden Indian in the doorway is a neighborhood mainstay—the staff at Roscoe's has a vested interest in helping the surrounding community to thrive. They work with local businesses and charities, including Dance for Life Chicago, a performance-based non-profit that boosts awareness and raises funds for HIV and AIDS care, education, and prevention. The staff also helps patrons register to vote and join neighborhood associations so that they can make their voices heard without having to train a flock of really loud parrots.
**Groupon Celebrates Pride Month** Over the last 50 years, the gay-rights movement in America has overcome tremendous obstacles to become a powerful voice for inclusion and diversity. Even as it has grown, the movement—like Groupon—is local at heart, and we applaud the commitment to real change that improves everyday lives. At Groupon, we are happy to add our voices to those celebrating PRIDE, their achievements as a social movement and a continued march to equality for the LGBT community. Plus, we love a chance to dig that rainbow wig out of storage. This month—and throughout the year—we salute our merchants and customers who support PRIDE and all efforts that promote dignity, respect, and equal opportunity. We're highlighting these merchants' deals with a special badge to show Groupon's pride in working with people who share our values.

Common, I could not agree more! Perhaps if they got off their a** and got a job, they wouldn't be complaining so much about the sad state of the economy.
I know one thing is absolutely for sure...if given the chance to switch places with say the CEO of Goldman Sachs...not ONE of the occupy protestors would say no!

|I am hosting a party for my parents' 60th birthdays (they are a week apart) in June on my farm. It will be very casual, for maybe 30-40 people. I'll provide sodas, beer, hot dogs, burgers, the basics, with potluck sides.
I need clever ideas!
It will be outside, and I plan to rent tables and chairs. I was trying to think of some clever things to do, but I think I'm coming up short. I have a white pony, and I was thinking of writing "Happy 60th!" on her with washable paint, and decorating her with ribbons and bows and such. She can graze in the yard and be a living ornament. She'll also be providing pony rides for the kids. I also have pygmy goats, and I was trying to think of a way to incorporate them... betting on them for goat races or something, but I can't think of anything more precise.
Basically I figure I'd like to use the unique aspects of the farm to add fun to the party. Any ideas would be appreciated!
Follow-Up Postings:
|These are some of the things I like to do when we have the family down.
Cover the outdoor tables with quilts, or unfinished quilt tops. (If you don't sew, unfinished quilt tops can be picked up inexpensively; use them for a tablecloth in the summer at your party, and later, you can have them finished as quilts/comforters to give at Christmas.) I use wildflowers or whatever is blooming in the yard for informal arrangements in mason jars, and galvanized washtubs with ice to hold drinks, also fruits like apples for snacks, or watermelon. Bushel baskets are also good to have on hand; put pots of blooimg flowers in them for decor, or set one on the table to corral packages of buns.
As far as entertainment, I've found that if the kids are amused, the adults will have a wonderful time as well, even if they don't get out and engage in the planned activities.
We raise dairy goats and sheep, and for the most part, either one in the yard is a huge No No. I've found it takes about 60 seconds for a goat or sheep get away from someone, rush over and strip all the flowers off some prized shrub (ACK!!), not to mention that some ornamental plants might be poisonious. I have a bowl of apple, orange, and banana peels handy for people to feed them over the fence as a treat, which people thinkis interesting. If we have any bottle babies, they can come in the yard briefly to amuse small children, but once they've eaten, been duly petted and admired, and maybe had their picture made with the guests, they go back out where they can stay out of trouble.
If you raise chickens, I've found that children are fascinated by collecting eggs. Have extra egg cartons on hand so they can take "their" eggs home, and, if you expect very many kids, you might want to have extra eggs that you can sneak out to the hen house so everyone can "find" at least a half dozen. You might find that some of the older guests will want to tag along, just because it reminds them of when they were young and had to collect eggs as part of their daily chores. (have extra eggs for them too)
You could have egg relay races; divide everyone into teams and give each one a spoon. Each team gets one raw egg they are supposed to hand carry in the spoon to destination X, then turn around and take back to the team, successfully hand off to the next person. Have extra eggs available for this too, as it would be a shame for one team to have to drop out if they break an egg. ;^)
We have a pond, so one or two of the adults usually volunteers to take the kids fishing. Perfect for creating those Happy Family Memories™, even if they don't catch anything. If you don't have fish, give them clean plastic peanut butter jars and let them look for frogs and tadpoles. (to be released back into the pond) and if you don't have a pond at all, send them out to hunt grasshoppers. (to be disposed of at the chicken house)
Even a plain old nature walk is a neat idea; make your "trail" wander in and out of as many different kinds of terrain as you have; woods, field, around the pond, through the goat pen, explore the barn. The point is, it's all a different world from what most people know.
Homemade ice cream to go with the birthday cake. The anticipation is the best part, especially if it's a hand cranked and all the kids can take a turn at "cooking".
Oh, and don't forget to set aside an area for photos with the most picturesque, unobstructed view on your place. Remember, most people can get a photo of themselves standing next to a house or garage at home; you have wide open spaces for a background. Set a bench with a couple of baskets of flowers around that. Make sure there isn't distracting with telephone poles, overhead wires, or branches close enough to look like they're growing out of someone's head in thepicture. If you have a really nice barn, set people up far enough in front that you can see the barn in the background off to one side, without giving them the "mug shot" look of being posed against a blank wall. If possible, keep it not too far from where the pony or goats will be, as some people might one or both in the picture. Throughout the day, get each family group together to pose for a picture. (Also a nice gift later)
Hope these give you some ideas, good luck with the party. :^)

|I did my husband's retirement party on the farm. The invitation was sent with an airplane (woodish texture). I got a gross of them at oriental trading post for like $10.00. There were instructions in the invitation to decorate their airplane and be prepared to race it. Old and young alike got so competive! The planes were decorated to the hilt. We broke the guests into 'like' groups and all ages were screaming with delight. The other thing I did was to call the local square dance club and they entertained the party, gave lessons and in general had a wonderful time. They asked for $25.00 and for dinner. The best least expensive entertainment I have ever had for a party.
|Auntnete, Wonderful ideas! Announcing the airplane contest pre-party was genius. I can imagine how much fun that must have been for the guests designing *their* airplane; not to mention the anticipation leading up to the party. :^)
The Square Dancing is also brilliant; perfect for a farm theme. What a clever hostess!
|Horse shoe pitching.
Have a big pile of sand brought in with toy trucks and shovels for the kids. (Trust me, you'll never have to worry about them wandering off or bothering anything...kids LOVE dirt) Plus, they won't be in your house terrorizing the cat.
Lawn chairs and a box fan (for flies and heat) and cool beverages and all will be wonderful.
Have fun!

Sometimes we get in a rut and our usual line-up of weekly meals tends to get boring. This is a warning sign that you are about to stray from your blood type diet…that plate of french fries is starting to look mighty tasty, but, oh how bad you'll feel after you indulge! Instead of diving into a plate of avoids, spice up your meals with some blood type friendly ingredients that will put a little zing back into your cooking.

Portland, OR (Sports Network) - LaMarcus Aldridge scored 32 points to carry the Portland Trail Blazers to a 98-91 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder in an intense battle at Rose Garden.
Nicolas Batum contributed 19 points while Andre Miller and Gerald Wallace added 13 apiece for the Blazers, who have won four of six and moved into sole possession of the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference, one game ahead of New Orleans and Memphis.
Kevin Durant totaled 25 points and 11 rebounds for Oklahoma City, which still sits comfortably in the No. 4 slot in the West standings.
The Thunder had won five in a row and were coming off a 14-2 stretch in March, but shot just 26 percent from the field in the second half on Friday.
"It felt like their defense flip-flopped in the second half," Durant said. "We couldn't hit a shot."
They made 13-of-19 in the first quarter en route to a 30-20 lead, though the Blazers cut the deficit to 59-53 by halftime and scored 15 straight points midway through the third to jump ahead.
Aldridge threw down an alley-oop dunk during the spurt and ended it with a jumper for a 72-65 lead with under four minutes left.
The hosts took a 78-70 edge into the fourth, and Wallace and Batum each hit from long range in the early stages to push the advantage to 84-72.
Portland shot just 2-for-14 from the field from that point, but made enough free throws down the stretch to hold on for the much-needed win.
"We did what we needed to go," Trail Blazers head coach Nate McMillan said. "We got to the free throw line and took care of the ball."

Introduction to U.S. Scientific Ocean Drilling
For more than 40 years, results from scientific ocean drilling have contributed to global understanding of Earth's biological, chemical, geological, and physical processes and feedback mechanisms. The majority of these internationally recognized results have been derived from scientific ocean drilling conducted through three programs—the Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP; 1968-1983), the Ocean Drilling Program (ODP; 1984-2003), and the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP; 2003-2013)—that can be traced back to the first scientific ocean drilling venture, Project Mohole, in 1961. Figure 1.1 illustrates the distribution of drilling and sampling sites for each of the programs, and Appendix A presents tables of DSDP, ODP, and IODP legs and expeditions. Although each program has benefited from broad, international partnerships and research support, the United States has taken a leading role in providing financial continuity and administrative coordination over the decades that these programs have existed. Currently, the United States and Japan are the lead international partners of IODP, while a consortium of 16 European countries and Canada participates in IODP under the auspices of the European Consortium for Ocean Research Drilling (ECORD). Other countries (including China, Korea, Australia, New Zealand, and India) are also involved.
As IODP draws to a close in 2013, a new process for defining the scope of the next phase of scientific ocean drilling has begun. Illuminating Earth's Past, Present, and Future: The International Ocean Discovery Program Science Plan for 2013-20231 (hereafter referred to as "the science plan"), which is focused on defining the scientific research goals of the next 10-year phase of scientific ocean drilling, was completed in June 2011 (IODP-MI, 2011). The science plan was based on a large, multidisciplinary international drilling community meeting held in September 2009.2 A draft of the plan was released in June 2010 to allow for additional comments from the broader geoscience community prior to its finalization. As part of the planning process for future scientific ocean drilling, the National Science Foundation (NSF) requested that the National Research Council (NRC) appoint an ad hoc committee (Appendix B) to review the scientific accomplishments of U.S.-supported scientific ocean drilling (DSDP, ODP, and IODP) and assess the science plan's potential for stimulating future transformative scientific discoveries (see Box 1.1 for Statement of Task). According to NSF, "Transformative research involves ideas, discoveries, or tools that radically change our understanding of an important existing scientific or engineering concept or educational practice or leads to the creation of a new paradigm or field of science, engineering, or education. Such research challenges current understanding or provides pathways to new frontiers."3 This report is the product of the committee deliberations on that review and assessment.
The first scientific ocean drilling, Project Mohole, was conceived by U.S. scientists in 1957. It culminated in drilling 183 m beneath the seafloor using the CUSS 1 drillship in 1961. During DSDP, Scripps Institution of Oceanography was responsible for drilling operations with the drillship Glomar Challenger. The Joint Oceanographic Institutions for Deep Earth Sampling (JOIDES), which initially consisted of four U.S. universities and research institutions, provided scientific advice. Among its numerous achievements, DSDP

10 SCIENTIFIC OCEAN DRILLING Box 1.3 Innovations in Riserless Drilling: Project Mohole and Beyond In 1957, a number of prominent scientists suggested an ambitious project to drill to the Mohorovičić discontinuity (Moho), the sharp increase in seismic velocity 4 to 6 km below the seafloor in the ocean and 30 to 40 km below the surface of the continents. Such a project would require drilling in far deeper water than the routine depths of 20 to 50 m that commercial drilling attempted at the time. There were two major hurdles to accomplishing this feat: drilling in deep water without anchoring (the standard practice for drill ships at that time), and drilling or coring without a riser (a pipe with an outer casing, allowing drilling fluid to circulate between the ship and borehole while maintaining constant pressure within the borehole; see figure below). From 1958 to 1961, many engineering challenges associated with deep scientific ocean drilling were discussed and new approaches designed: a dynamic positioning (DP) system consisting of four shipboard propellers and a series of sonar buoys; a guide shoe to relieve stress on the drill string; a landing base for hole re-entry; and diamond drill bits for biting into hard rock (NRC, 2000; Winterer, 2000; Pete Johnson, PowerPoint presentation, 2011). During the March 1961 Project Mohole cruise, the CUSS 1 drillship used dynamic positioning to maintain its position over a small circle at a site in the Pacific Ocean offshore of Guadalupe Island, Mexico. The scientists and engineers aboard the ship managed to retrieve both soft sediment and basement rock, reaching a depth of 183 m beneath the seafloor while drilling in 3,570 m of water (NRC, 2000). This definitively proved that an unanchored drillship could main- tain station in deep water and have continuous drilling or coring operations. Today, the majority of modern deepwater drillships and other self-contained floating drilling machines (also referred to as mobile offshore drilling units) have DP systems that can maintain a watch circle of 3 to 10 m under normal surface conditions (Ambrose et al., 2003). Without DP systems, many deepwater oil and gas discoveries worldwide would not have been economically viable. In some cases these sites could not have been drilled without DP, especially in water depths beyond 2,000 m (Smith and Parlas, 1979). Conventional offshore drilling in the 1960s and 1970s with a mobile offshore drilling unit was limited by water depth because of the heavy riser pipe and blowout preventers required for well control purposes. Drilling for sediments and hard rock, while specifically avoiding hydrocarbon formations, could instead be done without a riser system and blowout preventers. The DSDP drillship Glomar Challenger was specially built to do non-riser drilling by circulating drilling fluids through the drill pipe and out the borehole to the ocean. This practice ultimately led to the now-common deepwater oil field practice of drilling a surface hole before the first long string of casing is installed and a riser employed. The next drillship for scientific ocean drilling, the JOIDES Resolution, was converted from a commercial oil drillship to a riserless scientific vessel. The JOIDES Resolution improved capability for scientific ocean drilling because it could drill in deeper and shallower water depths, had superior station-keeping capabilities, and better heave compensation (Cullen, 1994; NRC, 2000).
