CW15 to have Monday's U.S. Open men's singles final
By Ken Schott
Friday, September 9, 2011
For the fourth straight year, rain has altered the U.S. Open tennis schedule. That means the men's singles final will be played again on Monday, the day after the tournament was supposed to end.
If you want to watch CBS' coverage of the men's singles final at 4 p.m., you will need to tune into CW15 instead of CBS6.
The women's singles final, originally scheduled for 8 p.m. Saturday, will be played at 4 p.m. Sunday. That will be on CBS6.

As the title says, can I mix the fully synthetic high mileage mobil 1 with the regular fully synthetic mobil 1? The Walmart by me never has the regular 5W-30 fully synthetic mobil1 5 quart jug, but they have the stuff labeled "High Mileage" fully synthetic (says for cars with high mileage). My Tacoma only has 20,000 miles on it, but I've been using synthetic since 1200 miles.
Any Pros/Cons to use the stuff labeled "high mileage" in a low mileage vehicle?

howdy, beer hivemind, i brewed a belgian dark strong on sunday, and after about 48 hours of strong fermentation the krausen died down - to reveal two dead earwigs floating in the beer. i suspect they got in there while i was cooling, just after the boil. ideally they got in while it was still hot (maybe even fell in during the boil) and they were disinfected by the heat. however, i have to assume that they crawled in after that, and that they dragged in whatever nasties they had on their bodies. i know that fruitflies can carry all sorts of bugs on them and i can't see why it wouldn't be the same for earwigs. any thoughts on the chances my beer will develop an infection? the beer is somewhere around 8-9% alcohol now but assuming the insects got in there before pitching whatever bugs they were carrying had a chance to start growing before the sacc was pitched. i suspect that in the end i'll just have to wait this one out and see what happens, just wondering if something similar has happened to anyone else. thanks!
no way to know what will happen, insects are covered with yeast and other tiny organisms but your beer may be fine. keep us posted.
Maybe the Alcohal might neutralize your earwigs? Thats my guess. If it was me id go with the flow and make a cool name out of it.
yea, nothing that you can do at this point... whatever happens, happens. ive had an occasional bee, fly or moth that kamakaze'd into the boil kettle. as long as its sanitized, they just add some extra protien

DisposableJustice's evolution of music from 1999-present
Hello everyone
I have seen quite a few members here list either their favorite albums of all time, genre, or focus on a certain band; I have enjoyed looking at these and have decided to try out my own, but it will be a little different:
I have decided to do a "evolution" of my hard rock/heavy metal music from when I really discovered it in 1999 when I was 13 to today. I will show you the albums that really got me to where I am today
Now some of the albums I will post I may not listen today because of various reasons but I include them because of their impact at the time, and I may comment on how I view them today in many cases will be a lot different.
I will start with 1999 and move forward, and in those years I will have both albums that were produced in that year as well as albums that are older.
I hope you enjoy this is my first crack at a larger project on here and I would love hear you thoughts and if you have/had similar interests.
First album in next post
02/17-Machine Head
05/03-Mastodon (maybe)
08/19-Slipknot/Lamb of God
08/23-Weird Al (perhaps)

text: Liverpool - Rafael Benitez has apologised to Liverpool fans for his side's woeful season but the under-pressure Reds boss insists he has no intention of quitting.Benitez saw Liverpool's troubled campaign hit a new low on Wednesday when Championship strugglers Reading claimed a shock FA Cup third round win at Anfield.The Spaniard had already presided over a Champions League group stage exit, as well as what looks certain to be another failed attempt to end Liverpool's 19-year wait to win the league title.It appears unlikely that Benitez will be sacked by Liverpool's American owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett midway through the season after club sources hinted that the manager's job was safe for the moment.That may not be the case if he fails to secure the top four finish that guarantees Champions League football and Benitez, speaking ahead of Saturday's trip to Stoke, was quick to acknowledge that performances have been way below what is expected by the fans.Recalling his infamous rant at Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson last season, Benitez addressed reporters from a sheet of paper as he mounted a staunch defence of his reign."We are not playing well and everyone here feels sorry for our fans," he said on Friday. "This is a bad moment, we are not doing well during the season and we know have to improve and we have the belief we can do it."How can we improve? Winning on the pitch. How can we be sure we win on the pitch? By training well."If I am worried about my position or the future of the club at this moment I will lose my focus."Stoke is the most important game now and we have to prepare properly. I cannot be worried about the other things. My future is Stoke now."With Liverpool's financial worries mounting, Benitez could also be protected by the long-term contract he signed in March worth an estimated 20 million pounds.Paying off that deal would be a daunting prospect for Hicks and Gillett, but regardless of what his employers' may be planning, Benitez is determined to concentrate on getting Liverpool back on track.The Spaniard's hopes of restoring the feelgood factor around Anfield won't be helped by the injuries to key players Fernando Torres, Steven Gerrard and Yossi Benayoun sustained against Reading.Torres needs knee surgery which will keep him out for six weeks, Benayoun sustained a broken rib which is likely to sideline him for a month and Gerrard is out for a fortnight with a hamstring problem.However, Argentine midfielder Javier Mascherano returns after a four-match suspension and new signing Maxi Rodriguez will also be involved after joining from Atletico Madrid in midweek.Facing an obdurate outfit like Stoke at the intimidating Britannia Stadium is hardly the fixture Benitez would have chosen to erase the Reading defeat.But he was backed by Stoke boss Tony Pulis, who said: "I think Rafa has been a little unfortunate this year in the respect that his best players have either been injured or not really on top form. They've not performed like they can do."Against Reading, (Pepe) Reina didn't play, and he is arguably the best goalkeeper in the Premier League."(Javier) Mascherano was missing, and he's the best holding player in the Premier League, and then you've Gerrard and Torres who have played with injuries and who have come off. You also had a quality right-back in (Glen) Johnson who didn't play through injury."So there are five players who, if they were available and playing to their maximum, would make Liverpool a completely different team."

Sen. Feinstein's Hubby Transferred USPS Land to His Cronies
December 15, 2013 | Posted by Staff under Corruption |
This 2013 excerpt of Naked Capital, Spt 20, is by Yves Smith.
US Congress has ordered the US Postal Service to prepay retiree benefits 75 years in advance. USPS has to fund benefits now for workers who haven't even been hired. It is the only agency subject to this requirement. If that were eliminated, and the Post Office stopped pricing business mail (meaning all that junk you get) at a loss, the USPS would be profitable.
The forces against the Post Office include DHL, Federal Express, UPS, and USPS supplier Ursa Major.
The husband of powerful Senator Diane Feinstein (DiFi chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee), Richard Blum, is the chairman of C.B. Richard Ellis (CBRE) which has the exclusive contract to handle sales for the Post Office's $85 billion of property.
• CBRE has sold valuable postal properties to developers at prices that appear to have been steeply discounted from fair market values, resulting in the loss of tens of millions of dollars in public revenue.
• In a series of apparently non-arm's-length transactions, CBRE negotiated the sale of postal properties all around the country to its own clients and business partners, including to one of its corporate owners, Goldman Sachs Group.
• CBRE has been paid commissions as high as 6 percent by the Postal Service for representing both the seller and the buyer in many of the negotiations.
• Senator Feinstein has lobbied the Postmaster General on behalf of a redevelopment project in which her husband's company was involved.
In June 2013, Postal Service Inspector General David C. Williams published a scathing audit of CBRE's exclusive contract to manage all the sales and leasing of postal real estate.
Ed. Notes: This corruption could not happen without the land. Grasping for the profit from locations long ago became an obsession. The only rule is to get as much as you can, any way you can — until the geoist vision spreads.

I'm removing some wallpaper from the 90's and need some techniques. I have a $50 wallpaper remover and some leftover diff. The last time I done this it seemed I had more problems with the wallpaper backing and glue than the vinyl itself. Now I searched on here and found that chomp or safe and simple is a better remover solution. If you were to buy on which would it be? I can get chomp shipped to my local store and save on shipping. I also read to prime with Gardz. Thanks! |

safe and simple is way better than anything else out there( imo)and yes Gardz for priming after paste removal |
Here is a link that might be useful: s&s
Chris, What is the difference between s&s 603 and 826? |
- Posted by christophern (My Page) on Sat, Dec 15, 12 at 5:34
603 is what you want I don't think the 826 is even made anymore |

We had a house (1985 build) full of wallpaper and we tried Diff and a few other commercial removers. When we had enough of the DIY effort and hired someone to finish the house, he used a mixture of water and fabric softener. (inexpensive fabric softener and warm water in a spray bottle) Wallpaper peeled right off the walls! Worth a try if you have any fabric softener in the house. |
Wallpaper came right off with the Diff over here. |

Last week I auditioned to be a kickboxing instructor. Preparing for this event was beyond stressful. I have complete confidence in my mind and creativity, and have no problem performing at traditional job interviews. But at this audition, I was putting my physical body up for judgement. Was I slim enough? Did I kick my leg at the right angle? Should I be smiling, or snarling? Despite my worries, I ended up having a great time, and it was way easier than I thought it would be. While I haven't yet heard if I made it or not, I am so proud of myself for trying. Here are a few things that helped me believe in myself, relax and do my best.
1. Put on your sunglasses.
My friends and I were relaxing on a patch of grass on campus. A man came up to us and asked if he could freestyle for us. He requested a word from each of us (twilight, button, and exorcist), then started rapping with them. When his flow stuttered, he paused to put on his sunglasses. "When my eyes are closed, I can see a picture painted by your words. Then the words just flow." Sunglasses are my new favorite creative tool!
2. Try this mantra: "I live this moment fully as it is without needing it to be different."
I found this idea in How to Wake Up: A Buddhist-Inspired Guide to Navigating Joy and Sorrow. Last week, in the days leading up to my audition, an old knee injury started acting up. I spent a lot of time making peace with what was, and this mantra really helped me put things in perspective.
3. Have a knee injury? Check your ego.
According to Louise Hay, knee injuries are related to pride and ego. I had been stressed about how people were going to perceive me at my audition, and knew the injury was directly related to my thoughts about myself. Louise suggests the mantra, "I am flexible and flowing," which helped me release attachment to a specific outcome. Low and behold, the instant my audition was over, my knee felt 100% better.
4. Try this mantra: "I love miracles!"
This past weekend was my friend Emily's birthday, and I really wanted to spend some time with her. But our schedules just weren't going to allow it. I had friends in town, and she was busy with her own celebrations. I let my desire go and trusted I would get to see her eventually. Sunday afternoon, as Kelly and I walked our bikes down Barton Springs Road, we saw Emily and two other friends walking towards us. I SCREAMED with delight. The universe brought us together with zero effort on our part. It was a miracle! Wanting to plant a seed from the experience to grow more like it, I thought, "I love miracles!" The more I placed my focus on the thought, the more miracles I started seeing everywhere.
5. Just have fun!
The day before my audition, I got a Facebook message from one of my instructors at the gym. She wished me luck, and reminded me, "Just have fun!" I remembered that fun was the whole reason I wanted to try out in the first place. Remembering to be light and playful helped me enjoy the experience no matter what the outcome.
6. Try this mantra: "I've decided to feel good about that. It'll work itself out."
So my knee was hurting, I was nervous about transportation to the audition, and my anxiety levels were through the roof. Just in the nick of time, I got a pingback from Jesslyn Littlepage, reminding me of this mantra. Every time I thought of my audition, I said to myself, "I've decided to feel good about my audition. It'll work itself out." Kelly told me to make it into a game. "The less you think about it, the better," she said. And what do you know, it worked itself out.
7. Prepave.
Neale Donald Walsch suggests, "Choose a State of Being (Happy, Compassionate, Wise, Caring, Creative, Considerate, Forgiving, etc) in advance of each approaching moment." When you set intentions before entering a segment of your life, you're on the lookout for evidence that your intentions are manifesting. What you focus on, expands.
These intentions help me to practice the feelings of inadequacy, shame, jealousy, judgement and dissatisfaction:
I intend to stop eating pizza and ice cream.
I intend to go on a 21 day juice fast.
I intend to stop picking at my body.
I intend to get on a normal sleep schedule.
I intend to stop using drugs.
I intend to stop drinking.
I intend to make more money.
These intentions help me to practice the feelings of ease, acceptance, peace and excitement:
I intend to let it unfold.
I intend to feel good no matter what.
I intend to love myself the way I am.
I intend to let myself have fun.
I intend to allow more love into my life.
I intend to be mad!
Intention is powerful because it helps you practice feeling a certain way. How you feel attracts your thoughts, which in turn create your reality.
Being aware of the feelings your intentions generate is the key to using intention to serve yourself and the greater good.

Welcome to Tuesday Tips, a weekly gathering of positive thoughts for your collection. This week I have some notable quotables helping me keep my head above water. I may have jumped in the deep end, but I'm getting a great swimming lesson!
1. "I dont do a post now unless I'm worried about what people will think about me."
Advice from James Altucher to Kamal Ravikant in Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It. Lately every time I post another article before telling Kelly, she gasps. She's all, "Omg, what did you do now?!" That's how I know I'm getting better at writing.
2. "I know attention creates, so my #1 intention is to pay attention to what I want more of." ~ Kelly Cree
Your most valuable resource isn't money, it's your attention. When you PAY attention, you're giving value to. You're literally investing in it, making it part of your portfolio. If you want stock in it, keep thinking about it. Otherwise think about something else. From now on, I will only give my attention to funny jokes, cute animals, pretty girls, and cold hard cash.
3. Instead of thinking, say a mantra to yourself over and over and over.
Using a mantra creates a channel in your mind for the rest of your thoughts to follow. Try one of these:
- It's working!
- I live the magick life.
- I have plenty.
- I know I'm free.
- I love and accept myself exactly the way I am.
- I love my now exactly the way it is.
- I love myself.
4. "Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain." ~ Kahlil Gibran
Your incredible pain is creating incredible joy. It's all part of the process. Now click the link to read the rest of that poem because it will make your day!
5. "Everything happens for me, not to me." ~ Byron Katie
Enjoy the contrast—that's how you get out of it. Only contrast helps you know what you want! It's pulling your desires through you. Bless the contrast you experience, because it's creating the solution you desire. Every single time I remember, "Oh yeah, I'm supposed to like the hard times," I find a way to make peace and the situation resolves itself.
6. Meditate.
Here's a great technique: "Try the following exercise first with your eyes open & then repeat it with your eyes closed. Take a deep breath, hold it and notice the sensations as your heart beats three times, relax & breath out — repeat 3X. Breathe in and out slowly to a count of 4, as you do so notice how your body feels — relaxed & warm."
7. "There is only one question in Life that is truly important: How does what I am doing right now serve the agenda of my Soul?" ~ Neal Donald Walsch
The soul likes laughing and loving and playing, so let's go!

"Come on you piece of crap!"
As X-Force fights their way through the future, while in the present the X-Men continue to try to hold their ground, holding on to all they all hold dear, just trying to stay alive. Some actions in the future will have an impact on what happens in the past. What will the cost be in the end as there are just 2 more chapters till the even is over.
What You Need To Know.
Hope is pretty pissed at Scott for sending Cable into the future, even though they all volunteered, must be the teenager in her. In the future X-Force face the Sentinels. Magneto finally got off his hospital bed, telling Beast to sit back down and tend to the wounded. The Good.
Mike Carey delivers a solid script, it wasn't the best chapter in the event, but it wasn't a filler and basically fulfilled my expectations from the cliffhanger of the prior chapter. Magneto's scenes were really good, he said things that make sense to his character so it was really good seeing him show off his skills in this issue. The stuff that was going on in the future was pretty good, I think they could have focused a little more on it, but then you lose focus of the present fighting. The art had some really good moments, there was a two page spread showing both the future and present attacks, which was really cool to see.
The Bad.
Hope is supposed to be 16-ish and for the most part it seems that every artist forgets this fact. The art had really good moments, but there were some moments where it was so-so. I understand Hope is 16, but I'm not a fan of her being a crazy person to Cyclops. Plus her face in that scene is actually pretty frightening.

I'm 52 years old, I'm female, I'm happily married, I'm retired from the work force... and I spend way too much time gaming. I enjoy long walks on the beach, with a gun, sometimes with my husband - shooting n00bs.
I not only like to shoot people, I also enjoy cooking and crafting. Mostly I make my own armor in games like Skyrim and cook my own potions after a busy day of hacking and slashing my way through various critters, guards and bandits in most any WRPG game.
If you're into a threesome or foursome with a mature couple, then come join us - only be sure to bring a med kit. We're old, sometimes we fall down and can't get back up without some help!

FPS games are all the same.
on 11.01.2011
The stoic soldier, with gun pointed down... walking away from a hazy wartorn backdrop.
There are too many shooter games. North Americans are obsessed with their stupid FPS games. AAA games are all becoming FPS games. FPS games are all in shades of gray or brown... they're all about war... they're boring... they're all the same. FPS games are ruining gaming! I see these statements littered through the comments, and frankly, it pisses me off . Usually the person making the statement has not played a lot of FPS games and their only exposure to the shooter concept is aiming for the toilet bowl... and probably missing.
Shooter games involve shooting... and that similarity extends through the genre in the same way that RPG games have quests, or that platformers involve moving, jumping, exploding or rolling from one platform to another, or that fighter games involve mashing some buttons to pull off combos. As with any genre, when one game become inordinately successful, others unfortunately seek to copy it. How many Mario clones are there out there? Why are many JRPG games all similar in some way to Final Fantasy? Why does Bayonetta seem like Dante with boobs? Why do Two Worlds 2, Divinity 2, Dragon Age and Fable all seem suspiciously similar to Oblivion? Yes, the incredible commercial success of the Call of Duty series has had an impact, but this has always happened in gaming. Ideas are often stolen and used as a genre of games grows, evolves and changes.
Sometimes we see the back of the stoic soldier... walking into a hazy, wartorn backdrop.
First off, games like Portal, Borderlands, Half Life, Bioshock and Fallout 3 are all FPS games. They all involve shooting from the first person perspective. Secondly, even among the "typical" war based FPS games there are huge differences. I realize that people generally tend to have a problem with the second part... the war based "realistic" shooters, so I'll restrict myself to discussing those.
Let's look at the single player element. FPS games tend to borrow from a variety of other genres which often makes them all a little different and keeps them interesting. Most tend to have a convoluted story of sort, and yes, the story is usually shitty and often involves Russians or some random terrorist group, not unlike the usual crappy RPG story line of save the Kingdom. Many even involve a quest structure, like Far Cry 2 where the game is very much like a WRPG with a main quest and optional side quests in a fairly open world. The only real difference between Far Cry 2 and Oblivion is that there are guns and jeeps in Far Cry 2 instead of horses and swords.
Other FPS campaigns include racing elements, vehicle sequences, and boss battles. These are very similar to boss battles in other genres - a boss or mini-boss with special powers and you must figure out their weakness through trial and error. They require the same persistence and skill to defeat, although the boss isn't always a specific person - sometimes it's a large group, or a new class of enemy with a specific weapon, a stealth section to get through without being spotted, or sometimes it's a large creature or vehicle. Just like most RPG games, conquering a mini-boss or boss often unlocks a new skill or weapon or alternatively you are given a new weapon/power that must be used to defeat this boss. Many FPS games are based on real-world weaponry, but others like Halo, or Resistance: Fall of Man are based on incredibly fun and imaginative weapons - sniper rifles that can slow down time, bubble shields, or a gun that can shoot through walls. In some FPS games you are alone, in others like Rainbow Six you have a "party" or squad that you can control. In still others, like sections of Modern Warfare, you follow the lead of another character who gives you specific instructions, and in Battlefield: Bad Company you had a hilarious group of A.I. sidekicks that often made me laugh with their humour.
My main point is that FPS single player games are NOT all the same. They are not even all in shades of grey and brown. While they tend towards a more realistic look, I think that the colors of Resistance 2 were closer to a Ratchet and Clank-ish colorful world, than the sepia tones of the first Resistance game. Far Cry 2's jungle areas were alive with bright greens and colorful flowers.
While the single player campaign portions of most FPS games have quite a wide variety of styles, and lean more towards the "adventure" genre, many gamers tend to buy FPS games, not for the campaign, but more for the online portion. Again, these games may seem to be all the same to the view of a more casual outside viewpoint, but they simply aren't any more similar than the platforming in Mario when compared with Super Meat Boy.
Sometimes the soldier is even pointing his gun... against a hazy, wartorn backdrop!
In general, FPS gamers are not attracted to these games because they are violent sociopaths who want to kill (well, maybe a few of us are), they are attracted to these games for the same reason that MMO's are so addictive - it's the social aspect. The game is continually changing depending on who is on your own team and who is on the opposing team. Clans form and people gather together to share a social evening of chatting and teabagging some opposing team. Like MMO's, FPS games also tend to incorporate the hook of "leveling up". There are new ranks, or guns, or classes to be unlocked. For the money spent on a game, FPS online games tend to offer value... hundreds of hours of value.
Yes, most have similar modes. There is deathmatch, team deathmatch and then various objective based modes. No, on closer examination they are NOT even remotely the same. Some are team based games requiring team cooperation in order to win the match (MAG), others are squad based (Battlefield) and others are more individual, where players play mostly on their own for killstreaks and a high score (COD). Additionally there are co-op games like Left for Dead or Resistance 2 which are again similar to MMO's where members group up to take on a quest against A.I. Some FPS games are "twitch shooters" or reactive games that are extremely fast paced like Halo and other arena style shooters, while others are proactive - slower and more strategy based like SOCOM. There are even some FPS games where a high score is not at all based on kills, but can be based on points gained by reviving teammates and repairing team assets. Playing each of these differing game types within the FPS genre requires a substantial shift in how you play. Those used to getting high killstreaks in COD will often find themselves placing last in MAG games because they're not running with their squad getting objective points, revive points or repair points. Those used to using vehicles merely as a form of transportation in MAG will be reviled in Battlefield or Homefront where the use of vehicles is more key to decimating the opposing forces, and using a tank as a taxi to the front lines is a waste of a team asset. In Killzone, the choice of class is often key, not just to a team's win or loss, but also your personal points within a game. There are many variations of FPS games and they can't all be played in the same manner.
In conclusion, before you ever type the words "FPS games are all the same" please don't make an idiot of yourself. There is a reason that FPS games are so popular, there is a reason that a lot of developers create new FPS games - the reason is because they are not all the same. The genre is growing and evolving. In addition to RPG and MMO elements, we are increasingly seeing RTS elements also entering into the category of FPS games. There is room for growth not only in gameplay, but also in social elements. There is a large variety of single player and multiplayer forms of FPS games, creating a vast genre. For fans of the genre there are nuances and substantial differences to the games. Yes, there are lots of sequels in the genre... but who can complain about FPS sequels while they're playing Final Fantasy XIII, Mega Man 9 or the most recent Pokemon, Mario or Madden game. Any genre looks somewhat the same at first glance, that's what makes them part of the same group, but if you think FPS games are "all the same"... then you either don't play them - or you're playing them wrong!
... or maybe you're just judging the book by it's cover, cause yeah, I'll agree that the box art on a lot of FPS games is pretty similar! LOL!

One Year In
Howard Duhon has served as the technical director for a year and looks ahead to the PFC offerings planned for 2015.
Unconventional Resources: New Facilities Find Solutions to Limited Water Sources
Depending on the region and its specific challenges, operators are finding unique ways to address the water issue. In the past couple of years, new facilities have been built or repurposed with new technologies that may affect how companies work in water-stressed shale plays in the future.
Taking On the Technical Challenges of Sour Gas Processing
Sour gas reserves, historically left undeveloped because of the technical challenges and costs involved in their extraction and processing, are being revisited as potential sources of supply in areas with high demand for natural gas. Only in recent years has technology advanced to an extent that makes processing of sour gas with high carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide feasible.
Spar Innovations: Thinking Inside the Box Reaps Savings
When people think of innovative design, they picture improving on an existing design based on lessons learned, or striking out in a new direction with a disruptive approach. For Anadarko, the secret of the "design one, build many" approach to offshore production facilities is to control its enthusiasm for change.

Thermodynamic Performance Indicators for Offshore Oil and Gas Processing: Application to Four North Sea Facilities
Thermodynamic performance indicators were evaluated for technically achievable potential, the use of theoretical potential, and the total use of energy resources. The indicators were then tested on four North Sea platforms.
Simplified Dynamic Models for Control of Riser Slugging in Offshore Oil Production
A proposed model for severe-slugging flow in pipeline/riser systems is compared, along with five other simplified models found in the literature, to results from the OLGA simulator. The new model compared well with experiments and OLGA simulations. Its limited number of state variables allows it to be used for model-based control design.
A Modular Subsea Direct-Current Electrical-Power System
Subsea processing is increasingly used to boost production and reduce cost. Reliable subsea electrical–power is growing to support these loads, which calls for systems that are suitable for the hostile and remote operating environments. A modular, direct-current, electrical-power system was designed for a subsea field with medium or long step-out distance. Its performance was verified by a scale model.
Polymer-Flood Produced-Water-Treatment Trials
Pilot plant trials in Oman of coagulation/flocculation-, flotation-, filtration-, and adsorption-treatment trials for polymer-flood produced water demonstrated the removal of most of the polymer, along with oil and suspended solids.

The prospect of devoting an issue to viruses in Linux launched a lively conversation in our 5000-mile-wide virtual office. We in the media receive a lot of press releases, and some of those press releases are from vendors with anti-virus products. We in the Linux media are supposed to like it when vendors take an interest in Linux. But the problem when it comes to anti-virus vendors is that every product is based on a need, and, in order to establish the need for their Linux virus protection products, the vendors are working overtime to sprinkle their path with ominous warnings that a Linux virus attack is on the way. Many of the old Linux hands have been equally vociferous in their skepticism. "How is a virus going to get into Linux unless you're checking your mail as root?" they say, and they are mostly correct, of course, but still the sound of someone saying "don't worry" always leaves me a little worried.

Got a nice little note from FirearmsTalk asking me to stop by "let you know what Ive been up to" , so I thought id do just that. Latest project is the rebuilding of a 1903 Springfield '06, and it was finished in time for the last day of Elk Season here in OR. Reason the rebuild was necessary, started on the last day of Deer season here in OR. I was in an area here known as 10 mile Canyon, fairly rough country, and a section of Mountain gave way underneath me. I went down about 150 feet of rocky cliff and the stock of the '03 was shattered. (Funny thing , the only game I came across was the bear that came by to see if I was dead or not after I hit the bottom. Luckily I must have smelled as bad as I felt) Some nice history in the rifle, my Father had sporterized it originally, and he had crafted the stock. Anyway, even though I used what was left as a walking stick to get back up the cliff, after a thorough teardown and cleaning only the stock was lost. I ordered a used Bishop sporter stock from a real nice fellow I found through gunbroker.com, and with a minimum of fitting. (Someone had used resin to match the stock to a reworked action) I had the rifle back together. I was going to re-blue it while I had it apart, but the worn places just...feel right so I left it. Added a couple of Uncle Mikes quick disconnect sling swivels and a reasonably priced nylon sling, and were back in the 30-06 business. I left the Lyman peep sights as that was how Dad had hunted it, and all in all it makes a nice combination of old and new rifle tech. I think at some point Ill take some of the nice blonde maple that is left from the original stock and do some inlay, just to keep the old work around. Just took some pictures, and as usual I cant find the thingie that connects to the doohick in order to get the pictures onto the computer, so Ill post them later. Best wishes to all, have a good safe Winter. VLG Vince

Please post some pics when you get a chance. I can't wait to see how it turned out.
I'm glad you didn't get hurt or killed in the fall. You got one heck of a story to tell. Plus just the stock got trashed. No blood no fowl.
Those old Bishop stocks will really let you know what a 30/06 recoil feels like.They sure look good,but damn do you feel the pain,afterwards! Glad to here the fall didn't kill you.
Lifetime Member- NRA Texas State Rifle Association North American Hunting Club
Thanks for the kind response(s). Wasn't killed true, but I didn't walk away Scott free. You see, I hadn't exactly told my wife that I was going hunting that day, In fact I was supposed to be somewhere else...(Shakes head) In hindsight it might have been kinder if the bear had eaten me. Anyway, here's a picture of the rebuilt rifle. VLG
Good looking ol'Springfield sporter.
that is a nice looking rifle! i saw some of the old bishop stocks many years ago, and they were very good looking stocks. i wish i had some hindsight, as i would have bought several and held on to them.

Medical marijuana, letters, and law in West Tisbury
West Tisbury selectmen met Wednesday, March 19, and voted unanimously to approve a letter of non-opposition for Susan Sanford, owner of Greenleaf MV Compassionate Care Inc. The letter is one part of the Department of Public Health (DPH) application for any company seeking a license to operate a medical marijuana dispensary in Massachusetts.
On January 31, DPH announced the statewide recipients of a limited number of registered marijuana dispensary (RMD) licenses. None of the four Martha's Vineyard applicants for a license in Dukes County made the list.
Four Vineyard applicants were in the running for the Dukes County license to own and operate an RMD. Ms. Sanford, Oak Bluffs businessman Mark Wallace of Kingsbury Group Inc., Geoffrey Rose and Jonathan Bernstein of Patient Centric of Martha's Vineyard Ltd., and Michael Peters, doing business under the name MV Greencross.
Ms. Sanford, whose business scored the second highest of the Island businesses in the application process, said the letter from selectmen would bolster her company's chances of being approved during a future review by the state.
Unwilling to sign any letter that appeared to be an endorsement of medical marijuana, selectmen took no action on a similar request for a letter from Ms. Sanford last October. However, when Mr. Rose submitted a similar request in February, selectmen were swayed by the argument that a locally owned dispensary would be better than one opened by an off-Island business.
Ms. Sanford asked the selectmen to sign a letter she had authored, but Richard Knabel and Jeffrey "Skipper" Manter, the two selectmen present, only agreed to sign the same letter they had signed for Mr. Rose. Mr. Manter said he was reluctant to change the first letter without participation by selectman Cynthia Mitchell, who was absent Wednesday.
The letter states, "The Board of Selectmen is not opposed to the operation of an RMD for the cultivation, processing and dispensing of medical marijuana in the Mixed Business District subject to all applicable zoning laws and permits. Further, we believe that local management of the RMD is important to the integrity and overall success of the operation."
Mr. Manter said that the state had not given the selectmen enough options to express their position on the issue.
"I'm uneasy enough sending this letter as it is," Mr. Manter said. "I don't want people to misinterpret this, because we are not in opposition and we are not in support of it either."
Mr. Manter, a West Tisbury police sergeant, said that the selectmen have taken a neutral position on the issue, but the state doesn't allow them to clearly express a neutral position.
In other business, there were no questions or comments during a brief public hearing that preceded a unanimous vote to grant the Lambert's Cove Inn a seasonal beer and wine license. The Inn had a year-round license. The seasonal license allows the inn to close for a longer period in the off-season.
Selectmen voted unanimously to accept a donation of $3,300 from the friends of the library committee to pay for a library website redesign.
Seems the town should have sensed unsolicited support for Ms. Sanford! After all, she is clearly the most qualified, look at her record of taking care of vineyard people for years regardless of their economic status! She has devoted her time, energy and health care know how to many vineyarders and families! She has provided guidance and hands on care and has assembled a great team of providers to help as well! She has the best credentials hands down, there is an obvious flaw in the process when the state scores a discounter and real estate/ film person a slightly higher score! Local politicians need to speak up for our community and tell the State the real facts! You need to speak unsolicited for support! You can make a difference!! The voters are counting on you to look out for our best interests!
That is a lot of exclamation points!
Thanks for Exclaiming that fact!!!!
But did I do the right thing in pointing out your abuse of punctuation? Was it helpful to the discussion at hand? Or was it a distraction? Was it even a fact that I exclaimed? Wait, what were we talking about? Is commenting on these stories even a productive use of our time? Anyhow, you are welcome!!!!! (I one upped you there, five to your four).
Ok, back to the weed debate.
Please comment on content!!!
I don't really have a strong opinion on the content. My mind isn't made up. +2s maybe?
Both businesses would be beneficial as both are presenting cannabis in a different way. Yes, Susan is an amazing community asset and has helped so many people, she is also partnered with a great group of holistic health practitioners in RI. Mr. Bernstein and Mr. Rose have a comprehensive team of capable, qualified and very knowledgeable members in the community ready to jump into action to provide high quality cannabis medicinals and edibles. Having this team and the 40 years of culminated business sense, I imagine this is why they may have scored a few points higher. Both would be very positive representations of offering cannabis medicine to MV.
Do not agree, their dealings with primarily an over priced grocery chain is sufficient!
