Snow: travel chaos with flights and trains cancelled, roads closed, 36 hours of blizzards and 10,000 without electricity across Britain
Strong winds mean blizzards – and the big freeze lingers into next week

Friday 18 January 2013
Motorists were stranded in cars across the UK today as heavy snowfall left thousands of people without power, closed schools and caused widespread disruption across the travel network.

As much of the country lay under a thick white covering, breakdown companies said they were struggling to reach drivers who ventured out despite being warned to make only essential journeys.
In Wales, put on "red alert" by the Met Office, blizzards closed dozens of roads and left 10,000 householders across a variety of locations without electricity, though supply was restored later in the day to 5,000. The highest flurries were recorded in Powys; where 25cm snow fell in Sennybridge.
Elsewhere, in some English regions, the covering reached 10cm. Frantic scenes were reported in shops in Wales, the West Country and the Home Counties as shoppers fearing shortages panic bought. Scotland escaped the heaviest snow, which drifted down steadily throughout the day in an oblong block ranging from Belfast to Brighton.
More than 2,000 schools across the UK closed, including 1,200 in Wales, 700 schools in Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Warwickshire and Staffordshire, 500 in Hampshire, and 300 in Norfolk. Dozens more took similar action and some FE colleges delayed A-level exams, to the delight of some students.
In Wrightington, Lancashire, a 16-year-old girl was airlifted to hospital with serious head and back injuries after a snowboarding accident.
Most airports managed to keep flights open, but 405 flights were cancelled at Heathrow, while Birmingham and Southampton were closed for most of the day. There was also disruption at London City, Jersey, Belfast, Exeter, Leeds/Bradford and Bristol airports.
Eurostar cancelled four trains between London and Brussels while South West Trains, East Midlands, Greater Anglia and Southern companies ran amended timetables.
Many drivers heeded calls by motoring organisations to stay at home. Those who strayed out often regretted the decision. Despite the efforts of Highways Agency snowploughs and blowers to clear major route, jack-knifed lorries, other crashes and treacherous conditions caused long delays.
Dozens of A-roads were closed in Wales and the Midlands and there were snarl-ups on the M25 in Hertfordshire, Essex and Surrey; the M4 in Berkshire; the M3 in Surrey; the M1 in Leicestershire, the M6 and the M54 in Staffordshire. The Severn Bridge was shut and Cardiff city centre became a sludgy bumper-to-bumper convoy of commuters.
RAC spokesman Simon Williams said reaching stranded motorists was a "real challenge". By the end of the day, the AA expected to attend around 11,000 call-outs, compared with 9,500 on an average Friday.
But the snow pleased some: pictures posted on the internet showed a few brightly-coloured adventurers joyously skiing down Park Street in Bristol. Ironically, the bad weather also forced the closure of Telford's artificial ski slope.
In a poll for ITV News, 83 per cent of people said travel was too often disrupted by bad weather and 90 per cent felt train, bus and airport operators should be better prepared. But they should have fewer complaints this weekend, as forecasters predict the snow will ease off, with only light flurries – though heavier snowfalls are expected in Scotland.
Frank Saunders, Met Office chief forecaster, said: "Although some further slight snowfalls are likely, with 1cm to 2cm of fresh snow in a few places, the focus switches to ice, with temperatures staying below zero over snow cover for many areas.
"The public should be aware of the risk of localised disruption to transport during this spell of wintry weather."

Yell At Them
Make sure you yell at your kids to play/work harder. Like, really loud. Also, be sure to yell at them when they make a bad play or aren't doing something properly. They probably don't realize they've made a mistake, so it's up to you to point it out. Loudly.
Note: Sometimes your kids are working so hard they can't hear you, so it's important you yell louder.

State Assemblyman David Weprin (D-Fresh Meadows), facing a potential challenger of South Asian descent, last week touted the endorsements of three organizations representing residents who trace their lineage to or have immigrated from that part of the world.
But it turns out two of the three endorsements, announced in a late March press release from Weprin's spokesman, were not real.
The Bangladesh American Public Affairs Front apparently has endorsed Weprin in his run for re-election, and not his possible opponent in the Democratic primary, Ali Najmi, an attorney from Glen Oaks. So too has a women's group cited in the release.
But two other organizations touted in the statement say they did not make an endorsement.
One, the Alliance of South Asian American Labor, said in a Twitter post that it has not yet made an endorsement in the race but will do so after considering the candidates. It posted the tweet in response to a Queens Chronicle story last week about Najmi's candidacy, in which Weprin touted his backing among the South Asian community.
The press release quotes Mazeeda Uddin, a leader of ASAAL, as saying that Weprin's re-election would bring success to many people, as he will fight for women's rights and human's rights. Uddin's statement concludes, "He is our future."
The group could not be reached for comment for this story. Weprin's spokesman, Eugene Noh, said he does not understand why the group would disavow what he termed "a resounding endorsement" from Uddin.
"I don't know what the story is there," Noh said.
The other endorsement-that-wasn't allegedly came from the Sikh Cultural Society. The group's president, Gurdev Singh Kang, was quoted in the Weprin press release as saying he is "very happy to support" Weprin's re-election, because the assemblyman cares about the needs of the community, including minorities and is hardworking and honest.
"You are like a brother to our Sikh community," Kang said in the announcement. "We give you our vote and support."
Reached after last week's story ran, Kang said that the Sikh Cultural Society cannot make endorsements because it is a religious organization. Kang said he personally backs Weprin, but did not intend for his endorsement to be mistaken for that of the group.
Like all legislative districts, the one Weprin represents, the 24th, was redrawn following the 2010 Census, to lines that took effect for the 2012 election. Running from Glen Oaks down to Briarwood and Richmond Hill, it now has a substantially larger share of residents of South Asian descent than it did before.
Some members of the South Asian community gathered in Jamaica earlier this week to claim they are not being represented in the district, or in the Queens Democratic Party as a whole.
Najmi declined to comment.

Office Chair Review: Humanscale Diffrient World Ergonomic Task Chair
Humanscale Diffrient World Ergonomic Task Chair - Tested and Tried and Neocon 2009.
Scheduled Release Date: August 2009.
Estimated MSRP: Starting at $750.00
What we thought:
Elegant and simple. Humanscale told us that was the goal with the chair, and it seems they have mostly achieved this. Like true Humanscale fashion, the World Chair, designed by famous Humanscale designer Niels Diffrient, the chair is ridiciously simple to adjust - only height adjustment and a seat slider are available, but for most users, it's only what is needed.
The Bad:
Before I get into how great of a chair is was, let me go over what I felt was the not so lovely element of the chair - the lumbar. As with the Liberty, the mesh is very nice, and very conforming, however, it does not provide adequate lumbar support for people with lumbar issues. It certainly won't be causing any lumbar pain for non-sufferers, but it won't be solving any chronic back problems either. But that is to be expected when a chair, especially a task chair, is designed to fit a large majority of the populace.
The Good:
Despite the lumbar issue for a lower back pain sufferer like myself, I did find the chair overwhelmingly comfortable. It did fit me right, and I'd be able to sit in it comfortable for 8 hours a day (if I committed to interval periods of back stretches, which is not a bad thing). The mesh, as previously mentioned, is the Libery mesh, which is comfortable, soft, and springy. The front egde on the seat takes the waterfall front seat style to a new level - there is no frame on the front edge of the seat, meaning there is absolutely no pressure on the thighs - this is a great thing. The seat can also be upholstered to match the look of the Liberty, as well.
The backrest pivots, meaning that it has motion within the recline motion itself of the chair. This essentially means your back will never be in a static position, a key factor in Humanscale's treatment of ergonomics, and a nice feature indeed. The armrests are attached to said backrest, so they move with the chair's recline motion and match the overall style of the frame, which comes with fixed arms, adjustable arms or no arms options.
Speaking of the frame, it comes in black or white, the latter which looks very contemporary yet art deco - stylish and sleek, to say the least.
As an added bonus, the chair weighs a measly 25 punds, and that is a good thing. It is easily movable and adjustable, and wieghs less using 97% recycable content, meaning it is very green. Despite its slim profile, the chair can hold users up to 300 lbs - considering most task chairs only rate up to 250 lbs and weigh twice as much, that is also a very good thing!
Overall, the chair is a winner. When judging and reviewing any chair, we take into account the value of said chair, namely, what do you get for what you pay for? After all, that is the most important thing with a chair. The Humanscale Diffrient World Chair, while not cheap, does represent a great value proposition in the high end seating market. Compared with other ergonomic office chairs in its class range, the Diffrient world chair looks to be in a world of its own!
Office Chair Review: Inertia Mesh High Back Chair
1. Stylish Mesh colors to go with Fabrics.
2. Thick, plush padded seat.
3. Many additional options available!
The Thorough Review:
The Inertia is a great line of chairs. Within the family of Inertia Mesh Office Chairs, you will find the reviewed high back, the mid back, the executive, and side chairs. Really, the Inertia has a mesh chair for any need, allowing to any user to completely customize their office space to look contemporary and matching with one product line. As a bonus, the Inertia can be upholstered in various different mesh finishes, which greatly enhances the options one can have with the chair, as opposed to the more conventional and not as fun black mesh.
The Inertia Mesh High Back Chair looks simple. It is clean and elegant and modern, but that doesn't mean it limits itself in comfort or ergonomic capability. The chair features a built in passive lumbar support, meaning the back (which is highly durable polyester mesh wrapped around a steel tubular frame) is contoured at the lumbar region to provide a built in support structure for the lumbar.
The chair also features various add-ons/upgrades that provide for a more ergonomic sit. The chair can be outfitted with a seat slider, and the seat can be created with Memory Foam for extra soft comfort. As well, with 3 different arm options, you can choose the arms that suit your needs best, whether it be standard arms, or fully rotating arms!
Overall, this is a very modern and stylish chair that does not leave comfort behind. It combines all these features in a very nice package as a high quality, mid priced ergonomic office chair!
The Ratings:
A very durable chair from a very durable company. Rated for 325 lbs, and with a lifetime warranty.Adjust-ability:
Nothing flashy. Up, down, seat slider, infinite tilt lock. Just enough for anyone to adjust and everyone to be comfortable.Style:
One of the nicest looking chairs we've seen...Very stylish and modern and the optional mesh colors make the chair customizable to any color scheme!Overall Rating (Not an average):
Kinda wish it had an adjustable lumbar support, but as far as modern chairs go, it is one of a kind. Perfect for management applications where a common style is necessary - a chair that will have everyone sitting in comfort and style.Want to know more about how we rate chairs?

Mesh Office Chairs are the Right Decision
If you find yourself spending more and more time in your office chair, do you feel yourself growing warmer as the day moves forward? Are you wishing you hadn't worn that sweater to the office? Well, turn around and look at the chair. If you haven't done so already, it might be easier to stand to do this. Is it a fabric other than mesh? If so, you should seriously consider making a change. There are all types of mesh chairs now-a-days. From an executive mesh chair to mesh office chairs for the receptionist, assistant, staff, or whoever sits for long periods of time, can certainly benefit from these cooler 'fabrics.'
Cutting back on a piece of equipment you or your employees spend so much time with, is not forward thinking. A serious lack of focus can occur when someone is uncomfortable, and the staff member is up all the time stretching, or possibly even dealing with physical ailments directly resulting from having to sit in an uncomfortable chair. Injuries like this can occur more often than not now-a-days. If you are not placing the right amount of finances to your seating, you're probably making a mistake.
If you're thinking the price of mesh office chairs are expensive then you should consider that mesh chairs don't remind you how long your day is and they also last for many years. If you spread the cost, or amortize the cost, of the chair out over a ten or more year period, you'd see the cost actually associated with a mesh chair is not so expensive after all. Mesh office chairs, depending on factors like model, size and advanced features will influence the cost, but they can range roughly between $200-$500.
Mesh chairs meet a variety of tastes with countless models and colors. With the assortment from leather grid, deluxe, matrix, and an array of colors, the right mesh chair can provide the utmost comfort during the long work day.

So the sibling rivalry in my house is extremely high. Of course they all do want the same attention and I try. We are working on the sibling love but this has become a big project. They love each other but somehow they do not get along. They never do unless there are only two of them together.
When they say 3 is a charm, I know they are not talking about my Home. I wanted to come up with some ways so that they compete with each other but in a positive way. I have tried the chart approach which seems to be working.
My kids also love to help me to do chores but before I had positive rewards they only wanted to help me when I did not need it.
Behavior Chart
So I wanted to come up with a way so that my kids would compete at being good. They were such pros at competing to see who could annoy each other the best, that I thought this could work. So I have a dry erase board hanging in a room in my house. I have all of their names on it and several boxes.
The boxes on the behavior chart include: talking back, doing chores, being nice to siblings, doing well in school, and minding. Every day when something happens that is out of line, in any of the columns, I place a check mark in it. For instance, I ask my son to do something such as pick up his clothes from the bathroom. If he ignores me and I find out later, he then gets a check mark in the minding section of the behavior chart.
The goal of this behavior chart is to have the least check marks at the end of each week. There are various rewards in which I discuss with them each week. Obviously first place gets the best reward over the others.
An example of a weekly chart goal:
1st place- gets two dollars for the week
2nd place- gets one dollar for the week
3rd place- gets a coupon to skip vegetable for one day of the week and still get desert
The prizes can vary and they are still quite young so money is not always the prize. This is just an example of what could be decided by all of us. There is another variable involved in this tactic though. If they go over seven check marks in one week then they are excluded from the running. Believe me they do not like to be out of this competition very often.
This has done really well so far and incorporates another chart into the process. As we can see there is a section for doing chores. Well where do they get there chores from? Introducing…………………………………
The Chore Chart
This chart is set up the same way as the behavior chart. There are many things that need to be done in the house. Mind you they are still very young so these tasks are fairly simple.
The first and most important thing to me is picking up after themselves. I got so sick and tired of picking up shoes and towels from the bathroom. Remember I am a single father and I work hard each week. It drives me crazy to come home and have to be the one to pick up after all my precious children.
I am trying to teach them each responsibility. So not only do they help me but they learn a little about life as well.
On this Chart are simple things like unload the dishwasher, pick up your room, and other simple chores. This chart is part of the behavior chart so it does not get special rewards. However if they do not do the chores on the chart then they get a check mark in the chores section of the behavior chart.
The sibling love is not shown very much but the sibling rivalry plays a big role in this chart as well. The behavior charts have been working so far and I intend to keep using them.
Reward Chart
So finally I use the reward chart and this is a record of the rewards that are won each week. It starts to tally up what they have earned and allows them to remember what they have accomplished. It has a running tally of whatever they have accumulated over the weeks. The kids love to look at this chart. They then look at the behavior chart as a must do job each day. It shows them how work pays off when we consistently do it each and every day.
It is very simple to accomplish this project and the time it takes to put it together, pays off in the amount of help you begin to receive from your children. Not only does it help you but it also helps you in raising your kids in the right way. It makes me feel good when they want to do well and also the people they are growing up to be. Here are some tools that I suggest in setting this up for your family.
3 dry Erase boards – it is easier to use these then standard paper is because you can simply erase them each week and start again.
Dry erase markers – I like to have at least three colors. I do use red for check marks on the behavior chart and green for check marks on the chore chart.
Time – I like to include my children when deciding the chores they will do each week as well as the rewards that can be won. Again it is not always money but you can be creative as you know your kids well.
So this is a fun project and it does not take more than a few minutes to invest in your children's future. At the same time you get the needed help when you are a single parent. I mean isn't life hard enough without the little extra cleanups involved. Now I am a single dad laughing and making the best of the tools I can work with. Behavior charts have really helped me.

The SOS chair by Italian architect and design icon Fabio Novembre is like a resplendent space-age throne for those who think they are King Tut. Just imagine ordering your servants around from the comfort of this great chair. It looks like it molds to the body and is extremely comfortable. And of course, it goes without saying that sitting in this chair nude is optional, but should be tried at least once.

We're the Millers
- Genre: Comedy
- Runtime: 110 min
- Year: 2013
There isn't any doubt that Jennifer Aniston has been the queen of the modern romantic comedy in the last decade. And there's no denying her general acting talent far beyond what we've seen in too few dramatic performances. That's why it might be off-putting to some seeing the red-band trailer for one of her comedy films "We're the Millers" showing Aniston playing a stripper.
Mind you, movie comedy is on the path now where someone playing a foul-mouthed striptease performer doesn't bat an eye. It might even be considered mild when you go by the Seth Rogen and Judd Apatow frame of mind for the romantic comedy. Still, associating Aniston with the role of a stripper somewhat lessens any sense of classiness that she's mostly kept in her films other than Horrible Bosses.
Watch We're the Millers Online
There seems to be something increasingly appealing about portraying strippers in movies that's attracting more and more surprising actors. After all, nobody would have thought a decade ago that Matthew McConaughey would create an iconic character. "Magic Mike" somehow managed to be a stripper movie with some meaning as a differing path for the genre.
Not that most movies about strippers haven't attempted a serious edge, despite plots about strippers ending up on the same contrived trajectory. The modern equivalent of how we view the female teaser arguably started when Elizabeth Berkeley took it nearly all the way in 1995's "Showgirls." And Natalie Portman perhaps began some acting prestige to the movie with "Closer" nearly a decade later. Marisa Tomei even managed an Oscar nomination not long ago for playing in "The Wrestler."
But the bulk of most stripper movies are intended to be full-fledged excuses for an actress to show her assets and fronts. As well, the dramatic story of Aniston facing the likelihood of being washed up for her industry has possibly been played out. Now the only thing left is comedy.
Enter the last person we'd expect to show up to this forum: Jennifer Aniston. Based on the trailer to We're the Millers, those who ever wanted to watch Aniston strip have plenty of chances. It could also be the most unlikeable role she's ever done based on her character description being noted as a "cynical stripper." With the twist of her being recruited by a pot dealer to impersonate a normal wife, it could at least reinvent the stripper movie to places it hasn't gone.
Can Aniston help stripper movies transition into the world of satire rather than tragedy? Danger always lurks in making a character unlikeable from first description. And making Aniston annoyingly cynical may backfire rather than help anything.
Regardless, Aniston perhaps needs a change after more or less playing the same type of character in most of her romantic comedies. Plus, she couldn't have been believable playing a stripper in a drama without audiences thinking it as derivative.
It may simply be Aniston making another brief stop along the way to do the overly raunchy comedy that she's mostly avoided until recently. Her legacy from that might be our future view of a stripper pole garnering a guffaw rather than as something erotic or as a symbol of tackiness.

Even when programming in a 32-bit environment, there are times when working
with 16-bit applications is necessary. In Windows NT, 16-bit applications
run within a Virtual DOS Machine (VDM). VDMDBG.dll contains many functions
that are useful for working with 16-bit applications. This library is part
of the Microsoft Platform SDK.
VDMDBG functions provide a good way to enumerate, create, and terminate 16- bit processes (tasks) within a VDM. This article describes how to use these functions on Microsoft Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Windows XP. MORE INFORMATION
When you use any of the VDMDBG functions, you need to link VDMDBG.lib with
your project.
The VDMDBG functions mentioned below are only a subset of the available functions. However, the functions that are not mentioned are only relevant to a debugger. Enumerating VDMsThe VDMEnumProcessWOW() function provides a simple way to enumerate all VDMs running 16-bit Windows tasks. These VDMs contain the WowExec.exe task. DOS VDMs are not enumerated.The declaration for this function is as follows:
PROCESSENUMPROC is declared as follows:
Enumerating 16-bit Windows TasksYou can use VDMEnumTaskWOW() and VDMEnumTaskWOWEx() to enumerate tasks within a particular VDM. The difference between the two is that VDMEnumTaskWOWEx() provides more information to the callback function. You should only use VDMs returned by VDMEnumProcessWOW() with these task enumeration functions. Using DOS VDMs does not make sense because every DOS application runs in its own VDM.The declarations are:
TASKENUMPROC and TASKENUMPROCEX are defined as follows:
Example of Enumeration
Creating 16-bit TasksVDMStartTaskInWOW() creates a task within a VDM. The declaration is as follows:
Terminating 16-bit TasksTo terminate a task within a VDM call VDMTerminateTaskWOW(). The declaration is as follows:
This method is a rough equivalent to TerminateProcess() in Win32. It should be avoided, if possible. It does not give the task a chance to cleanly exit, so data may be lost. Unlike Win32, the WowExec is not guaranteed to clean up after a terminated task. This can leave the VDM corrupt and unusable. To terminate the task cleanly, send a WM_CLOSE to its top-level window. Note Regarding 16-bit DOS ApplicationsNone of the VDMDBG functions work with 16-bit DOS applications. To enumerate DOS VDMs, you need to use another method. First, you could use VDMEnumProcessWOW() to make a list of all Win16 VDMs, and then enumerate all instances of NTVDM.exe using some other scheme (such as PSAPI). Any NTVDM.exe from the full enumeration that was not in the Win16 list is a DOS VDM. You can create and terminate 16-bit DOS applications with CreateProcess() and TerminateProcess().PropertiesArticle ID: 182559 - Last Review: February 24, 2014 - Revision: 3.4 APPLIES TO

2009 Hyundai Genesis 3.8
The V-8 version of Hyundai's new Genesis impressed us, and now so has the V-6. The interior is particularly well done, and the list of available equipment is long. Despite its rear-wheel drive, however, the Genesis is no sport sedan. Its suspension tuning is too soft for that. The Genesis rides well around town but loses some composure at higher speeds. Still, the Genesis is an impressive, if imperfect, effort.

White Chocolate
White Chocolate
Smooth, creamy and sweet
White Chocolate brings out the child in us - it is smooth, creamy and sweet.
It reminds us of hot summer days when we were children - religiously eating our "milky bar kid" white chocolate bar.
Melt, of course, has taken white chocolate much further than that - sourcing the best white chocolate we could find and using a higher percentage of cocoa butter than the mass produced chocolate you are used too. So for a delicious pick me up or treat to get you through the day, try our delicious white chocolate.
Of course, even luxury white chocolate is not really chocolate - it is a combination of cocoa butter and sugar. But cocoa butter has a wonderful texture and has been credited with health benefits in its own right. We have also taken white chocolate in a different direction - adding a new taste experience. By combining White chocolate with Strawberry and Tarragon - we have created an unusual recipe that will raise eyebrows. The sweet white chocolate balances beautifully with the fruity strawberry and tarragon gives a note of surprise. Who dares wins!!.
White chocolate has that childish innocence about it - which is why it is ideal for weddings or gifts for loved ones. Of course children always love white chocolate, as well - but one has to be careful to keep the sugar content low - which we always aim to do.

Good day, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the third quarter 2007 Gulfport Energy earnings conference call. My name is Samuel, and I'll be your operator for today. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only-mode. We will facilitate a question-and-answer session toward the end of this conference (Operator Instructions).
As a reminder, this conference is being recorded for replay purposes. I would now like to turn the call over to today's host, Mr. John Kilgallon. Please proceed.
John Kilgallon
Thank you, Sam, and good morning. Welcome to the Gulfport Energy third quarter 2007 earnings conference call. I'm John Kilgallon, Director of Investor Relations. With me today are Jim Palm, Chief Executive Officer; Mike Moore, Chief Financial Officer; and Mike Liddell, Chairman of the Board.
During this conference call, representatives of the Company may make certain forward-looking statements relating to the Company's financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives and future performance.
These generally can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. We caution that the actual results could differ materially from those indicated in our forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors. Information concerning these factors can be found in the Company's filings with the SEC.
In addition, we may make reference to other non-GAAP measures, this morning. If this occurs, the appropriate reconciliation to the GAAP measures will be posted on our website promptly.
Today, we'd like to walk you through an overview of our third quarter earnings and update you on our operations in West Cote Blanche Bay field as well as our exploratory activities in Hackberry and an update on our investment plans.
We'll start this morning with Mike Moore, our CFO, who'll provide an overview of the third quarter results. Mike?
Mike Moore
Thanks, John. In the third quarter 2007, the company reported net income of $12.7 million, or $0.33 per diluted share as compared to $0.26 per share in the second quarter of 2007 and $0.37 per share in the third quarter of 2006. In the third quarter of 2007, the company generated $21.3 million of the EBITDA and $20.9 million of operating cash flow before working capital changes.
Production volumes for the third quarter 2007 totaled approximately 440,000 barrels of oil equivalent, or BOEs, or approximately 4,790 BOEs per day, which is up 11% from approximately 396,000 BOEs in the second quarter of 2007 and up approximately 16% compared to the third quarter of 2006.
Total net crude oil production for the quarter was approximately 4,400 barrels of oil at an average realized price is $70.46 per barrel. Total net natural gas production for the quarter was approximately 218 million cubic feet at an average realized price of $6.88 per MCF. Measured (ph) third quarter realized price was $68.05 per barrel of oil equipment.
For the third quarter, leased operating expenses were approximately $4 million, or $9.10 per BOE. LOE had trended higher this year due to the increase in associated labor and maintenance related to adding three new compressors and a production barge in southern Louisiana. In addition, the total work down the field has increased, which also drives adequately cost.
G&A remained virtually unchanged for the quarter at approximately $1.2 million, or $2.71 per BOE. DD&A was $7.8 million, or $17.81 per BOE for that quarter. DD&A has risen over the past few quarters due to the mix of wells we've drilled this year.
For the third quarter 2007, total capital expenditures, including the activity in Canada, increased to $49.2 million on an accrual basis as a result of the added activity of having two rigs drilling at both West Cote and Hackberry.
CapEx attributed to our project in Canada totaled $5.2 million this quarter. We do expect lower CapEx is in the forth quarter due to the lower rig count in the both fields. Total estimated CapEx for the year is now expected to be in the range of $130 million to $140 million. However, this is a $10 million increase completely attributed to our Grizzly activities in Canada.
The company recently filed an S-3 Shelf Registration statement to reestablish a $100 million of availability. Our previous shelf had been drawn down to approximately $78 million as a result of our 1 million share offering in July '07, which was priced to $22 per share.
We expect that our cash flow and credit facility availability will fully fund our capital needs for the remainder of the year. The shelf filing then provides with added flexibility in the event the need for capital arises.
We currently have $36.5 million in outstanding debt on our revolving credit facility and term loans of $4.5 million associated with financing the gas compressors. As a reminder, our revolving credit facility has total availability of $60 million.
We expect total borrowing at yearend to be approximately $41 million. Recently the company added forward contracts for the second half for the 2008. We had 2,000 barrels a today at approximately $80 per barrel from July to December 2008, before transportation and quality premium adjustments.
Our hedging strategy remains the same. If we see prices that enable us to lock in profits in the future, we'll act on it. We have opportunities within our portfolio, and the hedges provide downside protection and assurance of some future cash flow levels.
A complete listing all the companies' forward sales contracts can be found on the schedules attached to our earnings press release from this morning. As at November 6, year-to-date production is approximately 1.4 million wells barrels of oil equivalent, which include volume from West Coast as well as Hackberry. Our original guidance range for full year 2007 was 1.7 million to 1.9 million barrels of oil equivalent.
We continue to remain focus on our production target and currently expect to be at or just slightly below the low end our range. Jim will elaborate further on our production and provide an update on our operation. Jim?
Jim Palm
Thanks, Mike. In the third quarter, we continued to grow our production base at West Cote and began bringing on new production from our exploratory efforts at Hackberry.
At West Cote, we've drilled six wells this quarter and all six wells are productive. Year-to-date, we have drilled 22 wells at West Cote, of which 18 are productive and 4 were non-commercial. We remain on track to drill our projected 26 wells at West Cote for the year.
We performed 12 recompletions in the third quarter at West Cote, bringing our year-to-date total to 49 recompletions. As Mike mentioned, we are behind on our production guidance of West Cote.
We've maintained an active drilling program at the field over the course of the year. However, this year' s program has not delivered the expected level of growth as planned.
The late wells drilled this year have had quality performance issues, and the number of dry holes is up this year as well. In addition, we've also battled a few infrastructure issues because of the substantial growth we've tried to achieve this year. We estimate we were deferred about 25,000 barrels of oil this quarter.
Until we see improved yields from our new wells, we will be maintained a one-rig program at West Cote going further. One rig should be capable of drilling 17 to 20 wells in a calendar year.
This deal continues to be a valuable core asset to the company, given its production is prominently heavy Louisiana sweet crude, which provides significant cash generation at current commodity prices.
Capital will be closely watched, going forward, to insure adequate return on dollar spent. We're also continuing to look at the MLP market. Given recent premiums paid for properties with similar cash flow characteristic, we believe, a portion of our West Cote field fits in that model.
Turning to Hackberry. Our exploratory efforts are provided meaningful production this quarter. Production from the Hackberry field this quarter totaled 70,000 barrels of oil equivalent net to Gulfport.
Let me briefly summarize our activities in the Hackberry field. To-date, we have drilled and tested 11 wells during this exploratory program, which is on pace for our projected 12 to 14 wells in 2007. We have seven wells that are currently producing and two wells there are awaiting recompletion or sidetrack and two wells that were dry holes. Let's get into a little more color around the producing wells.
Of the seven producers, two are outstanding wells. Those if you were on our field tour, you'll remember seeing those logs hanging in our office, these wells are averaging over 250 barrels a day net to Gulfport. And this is one of the sweet spots we were looking for where we're going to be drilling next year. Four other wells are solid producers, and those wells are averaging over 100 barrels a day net.
One well is pretty skinny. It's averaging less than 30 barrels a day net. In total, we're averaging over 900 barrels a day net at Hackberry. We just finished drilling our 12th well and the run logs. And it looks to be productive, and we are currently completing that well.
Throughout this year, we've evaluated our interpretation of the 3D seismic, electric logs, and our limited production history from the field. We've continued to stress that Hackberry is an exploratory program and in a learning process at this stage. Unlike any such program, we are finding out where the sweets spots are.
The two wells drilled from a single (inaudible) location continues to be the best performing well in the program. Following the success from these wells, we started the permitting process for several additions and the trend. We also expect our average drilling cost during the calendar year will be less than this year because the targeted depths on will not be as deep.
Overall, we remain encouraged with the upside potential of our Hackberry field. Our exploratory program is ongoing. We have further tested more production history to better understand the more efficient manner to develop this field. We are currently permitting 22 wells for future drilling locations.
We feel we've learned a lot this year. And we think our drilling performance will be more capital efficient during 2008. Our program next year will be success-based. It will center around to offset for best producers, and it will be more targeted with less capital.
Now, the Canada. For those new to Gulfport, Gulfport owns an approximate 25% in interest in Grizzly Oil Sands ULC. Grizzly has continued to increase its acreage position in the oil sands in Alberta and now has approximately 511,000 acres in the oil sands play.
The third-party assessment of only a third of the acreage is estimated at 11.9 billion barrels approximately of original oil in place over approximately 153, 000 acres. More specific details of the assessment can be found in our press release from this morning.
Based on this assessment, Grizzly estimates 4 billion barrels of recoverable resource. That means 1 billion barrels of recoverable resource net to forward. Grizzly is opportunity rich in this play.
Let's walk through the brief near-term development timeline. Grizzly intends to drill 80 to 124 holes this coming winter and then submit for approval a permit to begin inspection 1,000-barrel a day Side B facility at Alger Lake.
Construction would begin in 2009. The first team would be expect to by early 2011. First production followed by mid 2011. Customer projects would begin the permit process annually with the intend of bringing on incremental 10,000 barrel a day projects annually other then 2012.
We realized to meet such timeline there will be capital to raise, facilities to build, permits to get, however the beauty of this play is the resources base is enormous and it has 11 geologic risk.
Grizzly has announced that they are considering raising capital from third parties to fund its 2007, 2008 winter delineation drilling program and other capital requirement. We understand that Grizzly is seeking to raise approximately $150 Canadian or approximately 9.5 to 12.5% of the company.
However, the actual amount that will be raised and the percentage interest may not be determined at this time. I believe the Gulfport remains the only small cap U.S. independent with a stake in oil sands play.
And now let's move back domestically and discuss Gulfport's acreage in the Williston basin. Gulfport plans to increase activity on its acreage in the Bakken shale play in Montana, North Dakota in the Williston basin. Gulfport owns a 20% interest in a company known as Windsor Bakken, LLC, which is born in 2005. Company currently owns approximately 64,000 net acres, or 12,800 net acres to Gulfport.
We have been actively accumulating acreage and activity on the play has really picked up. We recently received 11 well proposals. EOG announced last week during their earnings call, the two well in Montreal County had initial production of 2000 barrels a day. One of the well we're participating there with EOG is a direct offset well to these producers. EOG also said the Bakken was their highest rate of return play for their entire drilling program.
Our CapEx could grow materially in 2008 in this area based upon the rate at which we receive new well proposals and further announce success in the area.
In closing, in the third quarter we continue to grow our production organically and increased volumes by 11% versus second quarter of '07. We'll continue to scrutinize our capital spend of West Cote to ensure we are receiving an accurate return even with these current high prices.
At Hackberry, we made great strides in understanding in this field through our drilling program this year. We remain excited about our potential to grow this asset. Hackberry has the capability to be a very profitable field for us and we have a sizeable room (ph) ahead of us.
In Canada, activities are underway and preparation for a busy winter including Grizzly's clear hole (ph) well program in 3D seismic shoot. And as I just mentioned, we recently allocated capital in 2007 to the Bakken oil shale play. We have a modest acreage footprint and are expanding our acreage even further.
We also continue to look at the M&A market for assets with compelling value as well as the MLP trades. As I mentioned, Gulfport assets including West Cote, could be better assets for MLPs and for Seacorps (ph) and we are concerning some MLP activity.
We remain very bullish on oil and remain oil focused. Our near term production from Louisiana provides substantial cash flow. We have broadened our activity base, included the Bakken play this year. And already have exposure to an estimated 1 billion barrels of recoverable resources net to go forward in Alberta. I believe this is an unmatched, all cap oil-focused portfolio and now I would like to turn the call back to John. John.
John Kilgallon
Thanks, Jim. Sam, at this point, we would like to turn the call over to the Q&A section, if you could please queue the questions?
Question-and-Answer Session
(Operator Instructions) Our first question comes from Ron Mills with Johnson Rice. Please proceed.
Ron Mills - Johnson Rice
Good morning, guys. As it relates to the Bakken play, just out of curiosity, there is a lot obviously have been said about that play recently, can you give us an idea of where figure (inaudible) 12,000 net acres are located in terms of potential counties and beside the OEG, who are some of the other operator are who have proposed wells to you?
Jim Palm
You know, Ron, 35% of our equity is in Montreal County, 50% of the acreage is in Dunberg and McKenzie counties, which are nearby and the proposals we have to date are from EOG, Marathon, Headington and Continental primarily.
Ron Mills - Johnson Rice
Okay. And how quickly do you think you will get well drilled in and/or have data to talk about on this place.
Jim Palm
Well, we are trying to see what's going to happen. The things are speeding up and we are participating in wells right now. We've already committed to about a $1 million so far and the last part of 2000. And Ron it's really not out there. We are acquiring more acreage. You know we will get some guidance before the end of the year but I wouldn't be surprised if next year we spend $1 million or more.
Ron Mills - Johnson Rice
Did you say $10 million?
Mike Moore
$10 million or more up there because we're already at a $1,000 net to go forward this year and the year is not over.
Ron Mills - Johnson Rice
Okay. Small clarification on the Grizzly, if they go out and raise money, you on 25% entity, which you receive proceeds from that would be at the actual company, corporate levels selling shares.
Mike Moore
We would not receive proceeds from them.
Ron Mills - Johnson Rice
And then finally in West Cote in Hackberry this you had three to four rigs operating throughout the majority of the year. You might have read into your comments that next year you plan on having one rig active in both plays for majority of the year and to the expense you get depending upon timing for permits for the additional land locations that you may end up with the second rig at Hackberry.
I'm just trying to get sense is the 2008 well count versus 2007
Mike Moore
This point of West Cote, one rig going will definitely be down for hope this year and Mike said that could change, but that's the plan right now.
As far as Hackberry there's going to be times (ph) two rigs going because we drawn both in Lake and on land. But I think for most part probably want one rig will get us there next year and one rig in time.
Ron Mills - Johnson Rice
And would you be able to drill if, are you still planning on drilling them, as similar number of wells in Hackberry next year.
Mike Moore
It's got basic sense driven, but we like and hope we say and we going to plan, as we go along, but good things are happening.
Ron Mills - Johnson Rice
I just want one thing. You clearly, the two well, the best two wells that you talked about it at Hackberry what did you say those reproducing per well.
Mike Moore
That's been about 250 barrels at day net to Gulfport and that's per well.
Jim Palm
Okay and then the production that you talked, you made mention of that West Cote some of that was well performances. Can you give us little more color on the well performance and also what was not well performance related IE, its sounds like you had compressor, you added in new compressor and that took time.
Mike Moore
That's right. First with regard to the well performance, we just didn't grow to do well this year, as we have the last couple of wells, last couple of years and to talk about we had dry holes (ph) surely and we have some reported wells early so that challenges to meet our numbers this year.
But sure as regard to the compressors we had some runtime issues with the new compressor, but we also had some stand by over compressors that we had more runtime with and we, but we got programs to replace in those,
We had to slow down for over a while, while we put in fifth compressors that were ordered last year. The net affect to that was about 25,000 barrels of which heard. Because we couldn't come up with the gas-to-gas light thing.
Ron Mills - Johnson Rice
Okay. Let me let some others listen of (inaudible) back on it and I will jump back.
Next question comes from Neal Dingmann with Dahlman Rose. Please proceed.
Neal Dingmann - Dahlman Rose
Good morning guys.
Mike Moore
Good morning, hi Neal.
Neal Dingmann - Dahlman Rose
Say Jim you say are there infrastructure West Cote would that just sort of temporary you see that you had there and I mean I think you should be or you said now going forward.
Mike Moore
Hello Neal. I am going to worry too much about, it was temporary the long operation that we got a couple of mechanics that we just hired that first one came on this week and they are work 7 and 7. So. It several pampers (ph) have been take care of things now we are going to have two full time mechanics, so we think we got the problem take care.
Neal Dingmann - Dahlman Rose
Okay. And then moving on the Hackberry, we are going to after few more wells where you then start include that guidance in and you want to seen few more wells behind that will be seen in your guidance today in corporate set.
Mike Moore
Yeah. We will give '08 guidance some time before the end of the year.
Neal Dingmann - Dahlman Rose
Okay. And then on the Bakken you say besides maybe partner not, is there are acres available or is that pretty come to combine now out there on that piece?
Mike Moore
We are out there still pick up acres, still acres to available. But it's all area, its competitive.
Neal Dingmann - Dahlman Rose
Sure, okay. And then on -- you didn't mention anything new to report on that Thailand or the other forum play?
Mike Moore
Not really, things are going long this time, but nothing really. It's driven long.
Neal Dingmann - Dahlman Rose
Okay. And then lastly, I assume it still on, you mentioned about maybe had in rigor next year I guess still rig availability that still pretty good down there?
Mike Moore
Yeah. No problem.
Neal Dingmann - Dahlman Rose
Okay. Okay, thanks guys that's all for now.
Next question comes from Scott (inaudible). Please proceed.
Scott- Analyst
Hi guys. Just wanted if you guys can give me a little more color on the dry holes, you guys are run into this year?
Jim Palm
Yeah. For the most part its been released, - we have the drill some wells in Halo around West Cote where we don't have producing well those state Nexus hold that agreed to drill two wells on high level like we usually do, actually had one producer and one dry hole out there.
Scott- Analyst
Okay. Will there any implications on year end reserves with the dry holes?
Jim Palm
No, I don't know surely tell, we still got the rest of the year to drill.
Scott- Analyst
Okay. Now moving to Grizzly, can you guys comment on the possible impact of the proposed Alberta royalty increase?
Mike Moore
No. It hasn't been as big a deal, as we though it might. We're seen reports from the investment bankers up there. We've seen the way the small cap starts and responded, seems to be more of a non-issues and we thought it would be.
Scott- Analyst
Okay. And with respect to possibly, you know being some assets, what are the declines on assets that you guys are first thinking about doing that?
Mike Moore
We got lot to annualize before we really do that, and we're looking at a whole (indiscernible) and whole field that it's complicated but normal. We think there is some chance over its going to fit the modal pretty well, but we've got a lot of research still to do.
Scott- Analyst
Okay. Great. Thanks.
Next question comes from Bo McKenzie with Pritchard Capital. Please proceed.
Bo McKenzie - Pritchard Capital
Hi guys. You just give me the couple of my questions. Thanks.
Next, we have the question from Rose Dahlman with Midwood Capital. Please proceed.
Rose Dahlman - Midwood Capital
Hi, guys. Congratulation on your progress. Jim, I just wanted to make sure, I understood some math that you had, you said you would be selling your ballpark 10% of the Canadian Oil Sands for $1.5 billion. So that would mean -- sorry for $150 million. So the plan roughly $1.5 billion with the value.
You guys, with the little less than quarter-than-quarter, so it looks like there about the $350 million of value. The Gulfport 9 or $10 of share with the value in Canada, Montana math right?
Mike Moore
Well, I'll tell you, what's you're saying, it sounds like a sign but its not really our place to speculate about the Grizzly values, and forth. So we can't to have hold up I'm talking about that.
Rose Dahlman - Midwood Capital
That's Okay. I was just going of that you're going to raise a $150 million and that would be 9.5 to 12% of Grizzly, so I was just backing into sort of the implied value of Grizzly at about $1.5 billion?
Mike Moore
We didn't get match their time stand good.
Rose Dahlman - Midwood Capital
Okay. And then maybe you can comment on - or maybe not but I know noted in some cases valuations up there been it has a dollar full recoverable, so in this case we have $4 billion recoverable. What needs to happen to these assets before sort of conversion, conversion on that valuation or before it begins to look like the property that transact with that valuation?
Mike Moore
Well, I think we're just going to draw some more well, so we can evaluate the property better that's all the engineering firms need, but we've just evaluated the tiny fraction of our acreage so far and those we drill wells will get more of this included.
Rose Dahlman - Midwood Capital
Okay. Very good. I appreciate to take my questions.
Next we have follow on questions from Ron Mills with Johnson Rice. Please proceed.
Ron Mills - Johnson Rice
Any ideas, guys? Next year in terms of on a lower rig count. What the capital budget would look like and more importantly, I guess how much do you think you will end up spending up in Canada?
Jim Palm
Ron, I'm not sure on Canada at this point, we going to drill 80 to 120 barrel up there. So those economic should be about the same, but beyond that I'm not sure for Canada. But also as it relates to, are you asking about our…
Ron Mills - Johnson Rice
With this year, you're going to spend..?
Jim Palm
We'll -- next for West Cote Lake as well.
Ron Mills - Johnson Rice
Exactly, its sounds like that will be down a little bit relative to this year.
Jim Palm
Right. Our cost will be down. Our cost for well have -- we'll be about the same in West Cote next year, as they were this year will be strong as wells at this point. We're still working on our capital budget. We don't know for sure we'll no more latter in the year.
Ron Mills - Johnson Rice
Okay. And then what are you, you sounds like you also issued some size make up in Canada. What's that design to do?
Jim Palm
Ron, this will be specific on Algar Lake this year, 3D. And it helps you model your reservoir enough your plan, your horizontal wells. It's just to really understand the reservoir there because we anticipate we don't provide the facility there.
Ron Mills - Johnson Rice
And any latest update on what you all think the cost of the 10,000-barrel a day a facility would end up running?
Jim Palm
Yes. More or less in the $215 million range. Just to get ballpark number.
Ron Mills - Johnson Rice
Okay. Thank you guys.
(Operator Instructions) We have a question is from Rob Burt (ph) with CellPoint Capital. Please proceed.
Rob Burt - CellPoint Capital
Hi, guys. I heard before that you all mentioned putting part of West Cote into an MOP. How much West Cote production would you all be thinking about putting into an MOP?
Jim Palm
Rob, we are still just exploring idea, this is too early to tell, But and we might put in anyone, we'll see.
Rob Burt - CellPoint Capital
Okay. Thanks.
Mr. Kilgallon, we have no further questions at this time. I'll turn the call back over to you for any closing remark. You can hear me?
John Kilgallon

I love a bright white kitchen and am having old laminate replaced with Cambria Torquay on the outer perimeter and either Cambria Bellingham or New Quay on the white cabinet end center island. Problem is I have a small kitchen so I'm worried the combination of two patterns might be too busy. Would love to hear from anyone who has used a combination of Torquay with either Bellingham or New Quay and any helpful advice is welcome. Picture of old countertop attached. |

Too similar and too busy. Cambrian Black or one of the darker more solid colors might work. |
We were going to use Bellingham until we googled the image. Liked it on the small sample, but it was too busy when viewed as a larger piece. I like the PP suggestion for more solid color. |
With a small kitchen I would stick to one counter type. |
- Posted by Jackie54016 (My Page) on Fri, Jun 20, 14 at 21:52
Thanks to all for the helpful input so far. I work in Minneapolis directly across from Cambria's big showroom so I visit it often. It's just so confusing when I have local interior designers and Cambria showroom personnel tell me the combinations would be fine. I realize we all just expressing opinions, but a little voice in the back of my head tells me as much as I want to combine Torquay with one of the other waterstone patterns, I'm not certain if it's too much activity. That's why I'm hopeful someone out there has already combined them in their kitchen and can give me their opinion too. |
I agree with sas, do the Torquay on perimeters & island...or, how about a wood top on your island. Either option would be lovely. |
I googled Bellingham and found this image of Bellingham and Torquay. I agree that it's too busy. I have Torquay in my kitchen and pantry and like it, but don't love it. (I still kick myself for not choosing marble). Do admit so far it's been pretty bullet proof. "Love the idea of a bright white kitchen" - what else are you planning? I don't think either of your current choices for the island will give you this. A white subway tile, with the Torquay perimeter and Torquay island, or if you want the contrast, Torquay perimeter and wood island, would be lovely and clean. |
- Posted by Jackie54016 (My Page) on Sat, Jun 21, 14 at 9:35
Thanks for the photo and advice oldbat2be. Would you further elaborate why you like vs. love your Torquay? Do you think the goal of a white clean look In my small kitchen would be greatly diminished if I forego the Torquay and instead install all Bellingham or all New Quay? I am not aiming for a sterile look but would want a fresh clean look and have definitely settled on using something from Cambria. Sorry to bother you with so many questions! I will also be installing an Elkay ss sink and pull down faucet, and replacing bar stools. The perimeter countertops will have a 4" cambria backsplash too. |
A little off-topic, but since you've been in the official Cambria showroom perhaps you can answer a question that's been nagging me since Torquay came out. Don't laugh! How do they pronounce it? When we were in Sidney, Australia, we discovered lots of places named "something-Quay" all pronounced "key." Nothing in my end of the world (San Diego) is named "quay," so I have no idea how we pronounce it. Are Torquay, New Quay, etc. pronounced "key" or "kway"? |
- Posted by Jackie54016 (My Page) on Sun, Jun 22, 14 at 1:19
Suzannesl, the Cambria personnel I was working with were pronouncing Torquay as as tour-key, and New Quay as new-key, which was a revelation to me! |
Ha! tour-key sure sounds like turkey, so I'll keep pronouncing it Tor-kay :) Jackie54016 - Most people who come in to our home love the countertops and island and ask if they're marble. (Obviously not GW-ers!). My mixed feelings are due to mistakes on my part, things I'd do differently 'next time'. 1) Seams are getting dirty (no way to do an island our size without seams). On the plus side, 95% of the time, I'm very happy with it and LOVE how reflective the surface is. I can do pretty much anything to it and with the exception of the seams, there has been no staining or etching. Some slabs definitely have more 'movement'' than others. I'd insist on looking at them and waiting for the right slab(s)! Do you have an inspiration picture or pictures? Please post and solicit input on identifying the elements in it, which make it work. Then, we can answer which surface might be best. I'm linking to my reveal, if you're interested in seeing more pictures. There have been more than a few threads on Torquay, so definitely google them too. |
Here is a link that might be useful: More pictures of kitchen

Oldbat2be, thank you so much for sharing photos of your absolutely stunning kitchen. I find the movement within the Torquey very calming and serene, juxtaposed to your spectacularly sophisticated backsplash. Personally, I like your edge on your center island. Would you please reveal the edging you chose, and is your torquay 3 mm or thicker? Now I'm trying to weigh the advantages/disadvantages of the types of edging profiles available for the 3mm thick Cambria. I will also continue to search for additional inspirational photos in the meantime. As always, appreciative of your input. |

GREAT FALLS — A Wolf Point man faces federal charges for a series of fights in March that left one man dead, another severely beaten and a third with a broken nose.
Mervin Clarence Hale Jr., 42, pleaded not guilty Monday to second-degree murder, assault with a dangerous weapon and assault resulting in serious bodily injuries during a hearing before Magistrate Judge Keith Strong in Great Falls. Strong ordered Hale detained while the case proceeds.
Witnesses told investigators that Hale beat, kicked and stomped on Laramie Wallace repeatedly early on March 19, leaving a shoe print on his face. Witnesses said Hale would kick Wallace every time he tried to get back up.
Hale was reportedly upset because Wallace owed him money and because Wallace's girlfriend had complained about Wallace hurting her in some way, court records said. The son of Wallace's girlfriend suffered a broken nose when he tried to break up the fight, charging documents said.
After Wallace was beaten, Hale went to a nearby residence where prosecutors say he beat another man so badly the man needed plates in his forehead and his jaw wired shut, court records said.
Wallace, 47, did not receive any medical treatment on March 19. The next day, a co-worker who was a home health provider came to have him sign a time card, noticed the injuries and called her supervisor, who is a nurse. The nurse took Wallace to the hospital, where he was treated for the assault and checked for head injuries, court records said.
Wallace died the next day of blood loss due to a lacerated liver suffered in the beating, prosecutors said.
Hale told investigators he was intoxicated and does not remember assaulting Wallace. Hale has been assigned a federal public defender.
