... scrambled eggs in toast with very good coffee at far greater cost than the meal the previous evening. We also had some club sandwiches prepared for the train presented to us in a classic Chinese takeaway box. It was worth the expense! Wandering away from here we chanced upon a very pleasant rose garden, made all the more pleasant by there being no one it and then a super-loo with Japanese style douching and drying options plus David Attenborough on a TV loop ...

... Royal School. Most people went to bed really, really early. The next day, we went to a welcome speech and lecture along with 700 other American students and teachers. The best part was making bracelets in the auditorium. In the afternoon, we toured the hanban headquarters and the Confucius imperial college/temple. Some of us started being approached by Chinese people to take pictures with them, which was ...

Some of the girls we meet yesterday were told that they could not teach English and the best they could do would be to translate. Interesting, isn't it? Of course the first thing we do is go to Lunch. No meals are missed on this trip. The only problem is they have been serving us the same food for every meal and add in something.

Mati made me a delicious Bibimbob, a classic Korean dish that consists of rice with tons of veggies and spicy pepper paste. I scraped the bowls clean and thanked Mati, then headed back to Xingping. There I saw Raphael and receptionists staring and replaying a video of Raphael handing over a bill to the girl behind the desk. Apparently the ...

BlackBerry Playbook Has Terrible Battery Life, Says Analyst (RIMM, AAPL)
Published 4:00 am, Tuesday, December 28, 2010
The launch of Research In Motion's BlackBerry Playbook tablet is being pushed back to the May quarter, thanks to crappy battery life, says Kaufman Bros. analyst Shaw Wu.
Wu says in a note picked up at All Things D he is hearing from sources the battery on the PlayBook only lasts a few hours. Since the iPad does ten hours, this is devastating news for RIM, if true. (One gossipy source talking to Wu isn't exactly gospel.)
Wu says in his note, "Keep in mind that QNX (the OS on which PlayBook runs) wasn't originally designed for mobile environments but rather for devices like network equipment and automobiles where battery life isn't as much a constraint."
John Paczkowski at ATD says RIM will have to slap on a bigger battery, making the tablet heavier, if this is true.

Question & Answers
Friends reefs only getting new reefs
When I swim to another reef instead of full established reefs for the last week all I get are new reefs with very little in them the game works fine other than this is there anything I can do? thank you
Answer from: Trishsreef7201
Invite friends to your reef input there names
Answer from: brit
Ditto. I often have to swim to multiple reefs just to get five plants.
Answer from: Dee
That is weird. Next time you find one that is good, remember their name or write it down. Then when you go into the Friends area, look for where you can add or invite friends by name. Just type in their name and they'll be listed for you next time, and you can go there repeatedly. I constantly am going to the same guy's reef every day because it's never picked over and he's got TONS of the good plants. Good luck!
Answer from: jjjagzzz
I too have been visiting reefs only to find reefs which people played for a day and left with few plants. I am at Level 40, so don't need the rewards, but if it helps you can visit either of my reefs. jjjagzzz and jjjjagzzz. Both have lots of cats paw coral which give really high rewards. Good luck.
Answer from: Julie4144
I too have this same problem. When I go to random friend all I get is new reefs with nothing in them. I used to enjoy looking at other reefs. Any help please . I am Julie 4144.

we want a world with polar bears
February 26, 2015 by: Marie PThis post currently has 2 responses.
February 27th is International Polar Bear Day, a day to challenge ourselves to reduce our carbon footprint. Polar bear mothers keep their tiny cubs safe in caves they dig from ice. I want a world where there is more than enough ice for hunting grounds and caves for the mama bears, don't you? I want this guy to know that the bears are fighting back from a reduced population, reduced size in adulthood, and reduced litter numbers. Let's all celebrate the bears tomorrow by powering down if we can (those of you under snowdrifts probably are doing all you can already, so you get an extra blanket and hug from the rest of us). Happy Polar Bear Day from the littles here.

PoliticsHow will the world remember Hugo Chavez? We examine the global implications of the death of Venezuela's charismatic but controversial leader. Inside Story | 07 Mar 2013 16:05 GMT | Politics, US & Canada, Latin America, Bolivia, Iran "We are all Chavez" - those were the chants from his supporters following the death of Venezuela's president. Losing his two-year battle with cancer, Hugo Chavez died on Tuesday at the age of 58 and Venezuela has declared seven days of mourning. "He is leaving behind industries that have been ruined by his economic policies. Many people will miss him, but why will they miss him? It's because he is a man who nationalised industries and created jobs in that way, which is not real job creation, and actually redistributed wealth in order to gain re-election - effectively bribing people to vote for him .... He actually had mad intentions. The man believed that the moon landing was fake, he didn't believe that bin Laden was a real person, he was a conspiracy theorist of the hightest order and a man who befriended tyrants around the world. Nobody should be happy that the man is dead, but should certainly be excited for the prospect of Venezuelans now having the opportunity to get some real freedom for their country." - Raheem Kassam, the executive editor of The Commentator Always a contoversial figure, Chavez rose from the ranks of the military to become the leader of one of Latin America's largest economies. And he divided opinion throughout his presidency. But loved or loathed, Chavez always made an impression.One of the most colourful figures on the world stage, he styled himself as a leader of global anti-imperialism which was reflected in his international allies.His relations with the US ranged from strained to outright hostile and they were at their lowest during George W Bush's presidency - who Chavez famously portrayed as the devil. His strongest regional ally was Bolivia's Evo Morales, who joined Chavez's fight against neoliberalism and imperialism.And his anti-American policy found a natural fit with Iran - their strong ties were dubbed the 'Axis of Unity'. Chavez was a vocal critic of Israel and severed diplomatic ties following the 2008-2009 Gaza offensive. And despite being well-liked by Arab nations, he squandered popular goodwill by backing Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, describing the latter as a martyr following his death. Reaction to his death was as divisive as Chavez himself, with some describing it as a tragedy and others seeing an opportunity for Venezuela to come out of Chavez's shadow. Iran's President called for a day of mourning describing him as a martyr. He added: "Venezuela lost its brave, strong son and the world lost a wise and revolutionary leader." "I think there's going to be a lot of people going to romanticise his legacy because he was very pro-poor. He tried to speak directly to the poor, he didn't try to speak above them. He seemed like a man of the people, he stood up to the West, and he was not really kleptocratic or overly repressive like some other dictatorships. But at the end of the day he was not very democratic and he wasn't committed to good governance at all." - Natasha Ezrow, a lecturer of government at the University of Essex Obama said Venezuela was marking a "new chapter in its history" affirming his support for the Venezuelan people. A tearful Bolivian President Evo Morales said he was an inspiration adding that "he is now more alive than ever." William Hague, the British foreign secretary, said he was "saddened" by Chavez's death saying he had left a lasting impression on the country." So, how will the world remember Hugo Chavez? And what kind of leader was he? To discuss the implications of the death of Hugo Chavez on the world stage, Inside Story is joined by guests: Jeremy Corbyn, a member of the British Parliament, from the opposition Labour Party; Natasha Ezrow, a lecturer of government at the University of Essex, and the author of the book Dictators and Dictatorships: Understanding Authoritarian Regimes and Their Leaders; and Raheem Kassam, the executive editor of The Commentator, and director of communications for the Henry Jackson Society. "He will be remembered as a great figure of Latin America, one that spoke up for the indigenous people and the poor and changed the whole narrative of the politics of the continent towards redistribution of wealth and spending oil resources on people rather than returning it to distant multi-national companies. I think he will be remembered very warmly by a lot of very marginalised and very poor people across the continent .... [British politicians] They all recognise what an incredible figure he was politically .... His legacy is one that has asserted Latin American cultural values and asserted Latin America in a way that very few leaders in the whole continent ever have. I think he'll be remembered ... as somebody who stood up against very difficult odds." Jeremy Corbyn, a member of the British Parliament Source: Al Jazeera

Jay Gertzman's Pulp According to David Goodis: DAVID GOODIS AND HORROR ("SHUTTER") PULP
Sometimes in the 30s, Harry Steeger, president of Popular Publications, organized a trip to Paris to see the Grand Guignol performances, in which scenes of horror fascinated and terrified audiences. On stage, blood flowed as eyes were gouged, entrails displayed, bodies danced like puppets, and famous literary figures (K in The Trial) were tortured and executed amid screams from both actor and audience.
Eventually, Popular started th
e "shudder," or "weird menace," pulp genre. It was these that Mayor LaGuardia used to enflame public opinion so that he could get them removed from newsstand sale. The French theater productions often explored the madness and belligerence of the "apache" [underclass] of the city toward those who thought them to be without the reason and restraint needed for survival.
The horror makes the reader think about how his response goes beyond fear of the alien apache to the reasons and consequences of that fear. In Goodis' Street of the Lost (1951), the mob boss Matt Hagen rules Ruxton St by the knife and the gun. Cops and politicians cannot protect the citizens against him and his thugs. He is also infatuated with an Asian woman whom he is "breaking in" very painfully as his mistress. As the novel progresses, there is plenty of violence, from people getting heads bashed, throats cut, and bones smashed to drunken family bouts of rage. Goodis had incorporated the shutter pulp conventions into his novel.
The final butchery of Hagan by the residents of Ruxton St. is revenge against a powerful tormentor. But it is also a further degeneration of his executioners-- knives, blunt instruments, and a can of lye are all used. As they turn against one of their own, their act is guaranteed to bind them in a tighter net of shame. Not only that, but readers are made to identify with the underdog Ruxton streeters, and yet at the end, they have to also feel shame at what they cannot help giving support to, which is a case of men into beasts.
One of Goodis's favorite films. Not for the faint of heart!

PADGE-VICTORIA Windslowe, the self-proclaimed "Michelangelo of buttocks injections," testified yesterday on cross-examination that she had enhanced the butts of celebrities like model Amber Rose and had even been sought out by the likes of rapper Nicki Minaj.
"Amber was like a walking billboard," she said.
Windslowe, who goes by the stage name "Black Madam," explained that Philly-native Rose had come to see her for injections prior to her fame-days.
She claimed that rapper Kanye West, who had dated the model, even once dropped Rose off for a procedure.

'Black Madam's' boyfriend takes the stand
Minaj, however, never made it to their alleged appointment, Windslowe testified.
When asked by Assistant District Attorney Carlos Vega why someone who was dating Kanye West wouldn't go to a licensed plastic surgeon, Windslowe responded: "I was the best, and I don't mean that to be cocky."
Her customers, she said, also included the girlfriends of music artists Mario and Chris Brown.
During cross-examination, Windslowe also testified that Rose brought her good business from "VH1 girls."
Neither Rose nor her representatives could be reached for comment yesterday.
Windslowe, 45, is on trial for third-degree murder in the 2011 death of Claudia Aderotimi, a 20-year-old British student. She is also charged with aggravated assault in relation to the alleged injuries suffered by Sherkeeia King, 23, as a result of receiving butt injections.
Windslowe used low-grade industrial silicone with Aderotimi who originally wanted high-grade silicone but couldn't afford it after customs confiscated a portion of the cash she had brought with her to Philadelphia.
"She wanted a really big butt," Windslowe testified yesterday.
Aderotimi became ill after receiving the injections and later died at a local hospital. An autopsy revealed that the liquid silicon had traveled through her blood and into her brain, liver and lungs, causing her death.
Earlier in the week, King testified that she had to be hospitalized for 15 days after coughing blood and experiencing a high fever after receiving the injections.
During cross-examination, Vega asked Windslowe whether she was aware of the dangers of the silicon she used on her clients. She replied that she was told that it was "safe enough to drink."
Windslowe testified that she had used the silicon on herself, injecting her face, butt, hips and labia.
Medical experts have established that liquid silicon is no longer used for plastic surgery because of its risk of spreading away from the site of injection and into the bloodstream.
During questioning, Windslowe admitted that she had no formal medical training, but said that she had been taught by a nurse in Washington Heights, N.Y.
She told the court that she injected "thousands of girls" and that there had never been any problems.
Windslowe said, while the money was good, her primary motivation for her injection business, was to make girls feel proud of themselves and their bodies.
She explained that many of her transgender customers wanted butt and hip injections for a more feminine look.
Windslowe, born Forrest Leon Gordon, said she had a sex-change operation in Ecuador, South America in 1994. She said that while she was there, she learned body sculpting techniques from the doctor who performed her surgery.
Yesterday, she was questioned about her multiple names, addresses and business ventures, which included an escort service she ran from 1993 until 2003. When Vega asked what sort of services the escorts provided, she said, "It wasn't always sexual, some men just wanted companionship."
"[One] customer just wanted a girl to step on Twinkies while she wore $1,200 high heels," she said.
Windslowe said she halted her escort business after the death of her father in 2003, saying she didn't feel comfortable with it any longer.
Vega persisted with his cross-examination asking Windslowe to clarify her numerous addresses and eight different phone numbers, which she allegedly kept for her different business operations. Visibly agitated, she stated, "You twist things, Mr. Vega."
Yesterday was Windslowe's second day on the stand. The cross- examination will continue on Monday before Common Pleas Judge Rose Marie DeFino.

Noir: They Saved Hitler's Brain for 11 million dollars!
Could doctors transplant a HEAD onto a body in 2 years' time? Italian surgeon confident he can perform £7.5milllion operation
Italian surgeon Sergio Canavero believes head transplants are possible
The techniques allows the patient's head be grafted onto a healthy body
Paralysed patients and those with incurable illness could benefit
However, each operation will cost an estimated £7.5million to complete
Dr Canavero said both heads would be removed at the same time
He would then glue the patient's head onto the donor's body
It sounds like the plot of a bad horror film, but doctors are gearing up to do the world's first head transplant.
Italian surgeon Sergio Canavero wants to take the head from someone with an incurable illness and graft it on to a healthy body.
He claims the first operation could be done in just two years' time.
Sergio Canavero said his new body swap technique could help paralysed people such as Christopher Reeve
He claimed that even people such as Professor Stephen Hawking, pictured, could benefit from the technique
The £7.5million body swap would initially be used to give a new lease of life to paralysed people – including those with spinal cord injuries similar to those sustained by the late actor Christopher Reeve.
People with muscle-wasting diseases and those whose organs are riddled with cancer could also have their head put on a new body.
Those with motor neurone disease, the condition suffered by Stephen Hawking and portrayed by Oscar-winner Eddie Redmayne in the film The Theory of Everything, might also benefit.
Eventually, the technique could be used to extend the life of healthy people in the 'ultimate cosmetic surgery'.
Dr. Sergio Canavero predicts head transplantation is possible
Critics have described the plans as 'pure fantasy', but Dr Canavero claims all the necessary techniques exist and that he just needs to put them together. It is already more than 40 years since the first monkey head transplant and a basic operation on a mouse has just been done in China.
Dr Canavero already has a long list of potential patients, and will announce his plans at a top medical conference this summer in a bid to get the backing needed to do the first transplant in 2017.
The location has yet to be decided, but the surgeon, from the Turin Advanced Neuromodulation Group, says he would love to do it in London.
The new body would come from a normal transplant donor who is brain dead. Both the donor and the patient would have their head severed from their spinal cord at the same time, using an ultra-sharp blade to give a clean cut. The patient's head would then be moved on to the donor's body and attached using a 'glue' called polyethylene glycol to fuse the two ends of the spinal cord together.
The muscles and blood supply would be stitched up, before the patient is put in a coma for four weeks to stop them moving while the head and body heal together.
If that doesn't sound bizarre enough, they would then be given small electric shocks to stimulate their spinal cord and strengthen the connections between their head and new body.
When the patient is brought out of their medically-induced coma, they should be able to move, feel their face and even speak with the same voice, this week's New Scientist reports. Powerful immunosuppressant drugs should stop the new body from being rejected and intensive psychological support would also be provided.
Dr Canavero says he believes it would be ethically sound to carry out the procedure when people have no other hope of a cure.
However, the ethical arguments extend past the transplant itself.
For instance, if the patient went on to have children, they would biologically belong to the donor because the sperm or eggs would have come from the new body.
Initially, a shortage of donors means that the surgery would be limited to those with severe illness. But eventually, it could be used to allow healthy people to live longer.
Dr Canavero said that if science reaches the stage when human cloning is easy, a 60-year-old could make a copy of themselves.
They could then put their old head on a new, healthy body made from their own DNA – meaning they would keep their memories and personality.
William Matthews, chairman of the American Academy of Neurological and Orthopaedic Surgeons, said: 'I embrace the concept of spinal fusion and I think there are a lot of areas that a head transplant could be used but I disagree with Canavero on the timing.
'He thinks it's ready, I think it's far into the future.'
But Harry Goldsmith, a California doctor who has carried out one of the few operations that has allowed someone with a spinal cord injury to walk again, said: 'I don't believe it will ever happen.'

Orlando City Surpasses 13,000 Season Tix Pirates' Nutting Described As "Underrated" NBPA's Roberts Questions Media Availability Franchise Notes Cubs' Ownership Sales Support Wrigley Renovations Sources: Rays' Frankel Bidding On Hawks Heat Could Face Steeper Rent For Adjacent Lot Wizards' Season Tickets Going Up In Cost Seattle Mayor Ready To Fast-Track Arena Padres Ownership Excited Fans Are Re-Energized
Upcoming Conferences and Events
Published November 21, 1994
In Toronto, Randy Starkman compares the progress of the Grizzlies and the Raptors: "Vancouver seems to have the leg up." ARENA: GM Place is half built and should be finished on schedule; the Raptors' future home? "The much ballyhooed plans for an arena by the Eaton Centre that helped the group led by John Bitove Jr. win their franchise bid have been shelved." TEAM MANAGEMENT: The Griffiths family has a "long tradition in sports ownership"; The Bitove group, "by comparison, is unproven on the sports ownership scene." SEASON TICKET SALES: As of last week, the Grizzlies said they were close to 8,000; the Raptors are at approx. 6,500 (TORONTO STAR, 11/19). In Vancouver, Mike Beamish writes of the Grizzlies, "If we've made a mistake, it may be that we've become overly smug in believing this basketball team is a sure thing" (VANCOUVER SUN, 11/19). From an editorial in the Vancouver PROVINCE: "The proposed NBA franchise for Vancouver is clearly deserving of support and attention, particularly in the next six weeks. To not do so could mean the end of Vancouver as an emerging major league sports market in North American" (Vancouver PROVINCE, 11/21). Both teams have until December 31 to sell 12,500 season tickets. RAPTORS NEWS: "Apparently concerned about undermining the credibility of its own mandate," the NBA yesterday ruled that "Basketball 101" -- a planned Raptors' promotion to sell the lowest priced season-tickets at the SkyDome for $101 -- would not count toward the 12,500 season ticket mandate. Raptors VP/Communications Tom Mayenknecht: "Basketball 101 will be rolled out somewhere down the line" (Craig Daniels, TORONTO SUN, 11/21).

Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly from Flickr, none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. These photos are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos (as well as their copyright and license details) within Flickr. Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web. If you are a Flickr user and use Flickr Stats you may have seen people being led to your photos via Flickr Hive Mind (as a Referrer). Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them. There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples. If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can (a) make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. These settings will be instantly honored by Flickr Hive Mind and all other API-driven applications. (b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at: http://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites. (c) Finally, you can Banish Yourself From Flickr Hive Mind. To banish yourself from Flickr Hive Mind, you must first authenticate to Flickr, which lets Flickr Hive Mind identify who you are.

CBS Adapting Cameron Diaz Starrer 'Bad Teacher' With Hilary Winston
Feature writers Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg are on board to executive produce the half-hour project for Sony Pictures Television.
CBS is hiring a bad teacher.
The network has given script orders to a half-hour comedy based on the 2011 Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake feature Bad Teacher, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
The project hails from Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg, the screenwriters behind the Columbia Pictures feature that grossed more than $216 million worldwide.
STORY: Film Review: 'Bad Teacher'
The film starred Diaz as a gold-digging middle school teacher who set her sights on a wealthy colleague (Timberlake) but ultimately wound up receiving an education about life and love -- and romance with the gym teacher (Jason Segal).
Hot writer Hilary Winston is on board to pen the script and executive produce the single-camera effort alongside Stupnitsky and Eisenberg for Columbia sibling Sony Pictures Television and the film's Mosaic Media Group.
The project marks the latest for Happy Endings and Community scribe Winston, who in April inked a new two-year deal to remain at SPT. This past pilot season, Winston had a workplace comedy Happy Valley starring Freddie Prinze Jr. and Mena Suvari set up at NBC. The network passed on the single-camera project in May.
Winston's credits also include My Name is Earl and Blue Collar TV. On the feature side, she's adapting her book My Boyfriend Wrote a Book About Me with SNL's Lorne Michaels for Paramount. Winston is repped by UTA, Mosaic and Morris Yorn. The scribe has also set up Girls on Film, a relationship comedy with Fanfare's Jamie Tarses on board to exec produce about three best friends who are all single at 30 with different levels of dating experience. The single-camera comedy received a script plus penalty commitment from NBC.
Stupnitsky and Eisenberg, both long-time writer/executive producerss on NBC's The Office, also penned the upcoming Ghostbusters III and Year One. They're repped by WME and Mosaic.
FX landed the first-run TV rights to Bad Teacher last year.

"sell the hedges".. That is essentially what Continental Resources did late last year, and, well, it didn't turn out well. Poor Harold Hamm, things haven't gone too well for him the last 12 months between what amounts to one of the most expensive divorces in US history, the falling price in CLR's share price, which nearly halved his fortune and then totally botching the cash out of their crude hedges. I doubt anyone will shed any tears for him as he is worth billions.
Of course, on the other hand, Linn would be monetizing their hedges at a much better position (i.e. nearer the bottom than CLR did) with crude near $53, thereby negating much of the risk. It seems likely that crude will drop into the $40's but seems very unlikely that it will drop into the $30's. Linn could very well monetize their crude hedges and hope that 2015 brings higher prices but then again, that would be a huge deviation from Linn's modus operandi, which is to mitigate risk and produce stable, steady cash flow. The last time Linn strayed off the beaten course, they got shellacked by the Hogshooter and Granite Wash fiascos. If crude drops into the $40's it might however present an opportunity to monetize the '15 crude hedges at what is likely the nadir. I would not be happy seeing monetization of hedges beyond '15 or gas hedges.
The Blackstone carry is interesting, giving Linn a nice 15% working interest. It remains to be seen how much will actually be invested and what returns they will achieve, with the caveat being that Blackstone must achieve 15% IRR before the bulk of their working interest reverts back to Linn.
The step-up to 95% on the back-end is not going to do anything for them in the near term, but will give Linn a nice shot in the arm when it does happen. Remember, by the time Blackstone's working interest reverts back to Linn, the wells will be well into the flat part of the decline curve. Nevertheless, it opens the door for future farm-outs which, barring a meaningful uptick in crude pricing, will allow Linn to grow in a capital efficient manner.
What you say is true regarding the Utica acreage, however, the divestiture of UEO will likely present no difficulty and should allow them to redeploy those proceeds at a lower multiple of cash flow into PDP properties.
I hold little hope in them monetizing more Utica or Eagle Ford other than perhaps small chunks, but would be delightfully pleased if they do.
No doubt EVEP management has not delivered on the much anticipated Utica divestiture. The irony is that when EVEP was trading as high as it did, they had a very low yield and could have simply issued units to purchase existing production.
I would add that, while they have failed to produce any earth shattering transactions, they find themselves in fairly good shape, with cash to deploy in a market that might produce some nice PDP assets if prices stay low. I have no doubts that Enervest is eyeing KWK's Barnett operations when KWK finally goes under.
I would expect EVEP to purchase gas assets at current prices as most producers are not likely interested in selling crude production at current prices.
Well, EVEP has fared much better than most of the other E&P MLPs. The monetization of CGS and the potential monetization of UEO in '15 should allow them to purchase assets, potentially at low commodity prices which may provide some upside in the future. The buying by Walker seems like he supports EVEP long-term. I doubt he throws that kind of money into EVEP if he felt like it was overvalued or was going to "crash and burn".
They have very low exposure to oil relative to many of the other E&P MLPs. Of course, now natural gas is crashing, but EVEP has decent natural gas hedges.
I think EVEP has a very good chance of weathering the storm without having to cut the distribution. That being said, I wouldn't look for anything more than the nominal quarterly increase. At current prices, it's a nice 15% yield.
Yes, but it is good news that producers are responding so prudently and soquickly. The quicker that rigs are dropped, the quicker that natural decline can start taking over and supply/demand can be restored. It will take 12-18 months.
Last weeks decline in oil rigs was quite frankly, much lower than I had expected. This weeks was larger. I'd look for, on average, 15 to 20 rigs to be dropped every week over the next 3 or 4 months.
The distribution will decline somewhat. SJT typically gets some premium if I remember correctly, but clearly the direction is downward.
The Saudi's are most likely going to stick by their plan. They will let the rest of the world cut supply and then pricing will creep back up, perhaps to $70 by year end. I think they have realized that the rest of OPEC has used them for years, with SA almost always being the country that makes the big cuts.
They want to maintain market share, punish Iran and Russia and reduce growth of shale oil. Their current plan does all (3).
ARP is going to suffer, like most E&P's. The few bright spots are that their natural gas hedges, while declining in terms of percentage of production hedged, actually are rising in terms of hedge price over the next few years. This should give them at least a little stability on the gas side. The oil/liquids side isn't pretty, but with nearly 70% hedged, they should manage, at least in '15.
Distributions are "projected" to be flat in '15. I suspect that it is highly dependent on commodity prices and partnership funds raised. Clearly if oil goes back to $70 and gas to $3.50, things don't look terrible, we can forget growth and perhaps eek through intact. The downward pressure on crude is severe but one must remember that these downturns will result in significant reductions in capital budgets by most producers. In time, the market will stabilize, and also, Wall Street is likely to be so willing to fund high yield debt, which fueled a lot of the growth. I think however, the recent shake-out shows that the E&P MLP sector is not nearly as stable as the midstream sector.
Yes, the 2020 8.625% notes are interesting. I checked and they appear to be trading around $.90 on the dollar right now. As you mentioned, yield to maturity of pushing 12%
You are correct that it is a joke that management has done virtually nothing. Look at Vanguard, Memorial, Atlas that have either reiterated their hedges, given a sensitivity table, invoked a unit buy-back etc.
But remember, Mark Ellis and Kolja Rockov are very arrogant. The fall from grace has been quite humbling to say the least. I suspect they cringe when someone says "Hogshooter"....
Yes, that seems appropriate. There are a little over 1500 oil rigs running as of last week. It seems likely that we will see about 1/3 of those idled at some point during 2015.
Another sign of producers being prudent and responding to lower commodity prices, Continental has yet again slashed its drilling budget, now down to $2.7 billion. Now, they plan to reduce rig count from 50 to an average of 31 thru 2015. Would be interesting to see a compilation of all of the announced reductions of the majors, mid majors and independents.
Agreed. Ellis really punted on the earnings call. Again, he either was saying they have no clue what they are doing, or they know a distribution cut is almost certain. They really haven't done themselves any favors.
One must remember that while Ellis really screwed up with the fiasco of the Granite Wash and Hogshooter, he did have the misfortune of walking into a company that was burning off the last of their fabulous '08 hedges. As those ran off, Linn was forced to layer on hedges at much lower prices, hurting their margins and necessitating them to make countless acquisitions to shore up the depleting DCF.
"How about avoiding such areas that are known bad spots and corrupt. Instead of looking for confrontation"
Who said anything about looking for confrontation? No one in this nation should feel intimidated to go anywhere. That Is why concealed carry is so important. Criminals don't know whether victims are armed or not. Note that crime in states where concealed carry is allowed is much lower.
I don't think you clearly understand the Berry arrangement. Berry's value is not intact or preserved.
Yes, the criminals will never abide by the laws...that's why they are criminals. It really is quite comical to listen to liberal logic.
I had heard on TV that Sharpton was in arrears on his taxes, but do not know any details.
As for police, agree fully, not all of them are good, but I believe by far that most of them are good and mean well. It is not a financially rewarding career and requires a lot of sacrifices so clearly, those entering the field are likely doing so because they desire to protect and serve.
Of interest will be what happens to Quicksilver's world class Barnett Shale assets once KWK finally slips into bankruptcy.
That production will be highly desired by MLPs due to its high quality, relatively low decline and heavily developed infrastructure in the basin as well as a generally favorable drilling environment.
I expect Enervest and EVEP will be interested, as will Linn.
Agreed, our rights are being infringed upon. It is one of the reasons why fire arms sales have surged since Obama and his cronies (Holder) have been in power. Holder has been the most heinous of all of them. It really is a shame though, MLK would be so embarrassed by the childish behavior that so called "leaders" have exhibited inciting violence rather than seeking real progress and improvement. Of course, the cycle of poverty and violence will continue until real values are restored.
Appreciate your concern, but you do not need to worry about me or my household. As a lifelong sportsman and hunter, I can assure you that my household is....WELL protected.

Research has suggested that we get less sleep than our ancestors before us, and that this lack of sleep can have a profound physical and psychological impact on adults and children alike. With today's hectic lifestyle, we're all getting less sleep than those who lived a hundred years ago, but it's still possible to make sure that whatever shut eye we can catch is of the highest quality.
Having a relaxing bedroom atmosphere would be an ideal choice for you to leave the hassles of your daily grind behind. This can be easily achieved through the installation of one or two designer bed in a bag comforter. Good bedding, containing a high thread count and nice pattern, not only contributes to quality sleep, but has the additional benefit of being the main focus point of a room's atmosphere.
You need not be forced into a financial corner by the prospect of decorating or redecorating a bedroom, but you may have to do some careful plotting and thinking if you don't want to achieve your goals at the expense of a huge credit card debt. Clearance bedding is provided by many online sellers however you have to study for best one. Be sure you're cognizant of all the materials that have been used in making the linens that are in the collection you're considering.

Human RightsWhat has a sportswoman got to do? A women-free shortlist for the BBC Sports Personality of the Year is a call to arms, writes Joanna Tilley. Joanna Tilley | 30 Nov 2011 17:01 GMT | Human Rights, Sport, United Kingdom Not a contender? In October Britain's Chrissie Wellington won her fourth Ironman World Title. That's 2.4 mile swim, 112-mile cycle and full marathon in eight hours, 55 mins and eight seconds of pain [GALLO/GETTY] If you are a woman who loves sport, now is the time to get on your soap box and make a great big song and dance about it. It is time the male-dominated sports media were awoken from their pre-21st century slumber. "Wakey, wakey!" "Rise and shine!" Women are sick and tired of being ignored by your male-driven daily scribbles. Although it was disappointing to see the British Broadcasting Company fail to include a single woman in their shortlist for the 2011 Sports Personality of the Year, it was equally predictable. The sad truth is that women are not 'sports personalities' anymore. With the sports pages increasingly dictated by football, women have lost the media's backing and support. Female sports personalities are a dying breed with the public kept in the dark about the women who dedicate their lives to the sports they love. Not many people have heard of world champions Rebecca Adlington, Katherine Grainger and Kerri-Anne Payne, and this is why they failed to make it on to the shortlist. Their water-based accomplishments drown in each media storm around the latest FIFA scandal or Chelsea result. However, while sportswomen are angry about this, really angry in some cases – it is action, not anger, that can help to change this sad situation. The silver-lining is that the absence of women in the BBC shortlist gives women (and hopefully also some men) the chance to publicise the raw deal sportswomen (and female sports fans) are being dealt by the British media. It also gives us the chance, as several leading British sportswomen have already done, to criticise the BBC's twisted nomination process for their 2011 Sports Personality of the Year. Just a quick glance at proceedings reveals a shoddy system that is indicative of the way women's sport is treated in this country. The BBC hands over the nomination process to 27 newspaper and magazine editors. There are two problems with this method. Firstly, all the editors are men. Secondly, and more crucially, the British print media lags behind the BBC and Sky Sports' attitude towards women in sport. Sports journalists at The Guardian, The Times, The Daily Mail, The Sun are predominantly male, and many yet to grasp the concept that both women and men want to see more female sports coverage. In fact, research carried out in 2010 showed more than 60% of UK sports fans would like to see more women's sports. While most areas of the media, and society, work hard to achieve more equality for women, sports journalism is allowed to move backwards. It's Nuts Swimming world champion Rebecca Adlington - enough brand power to attract major sponsors but still no award nomination [GALLO/GETTY] So who were the chosen publications voting for the Sports Personality of the Year? Reading down the list I was greeted by the usual suspects: The Independent, The Daily Mail, The Times, The Observer, The Sun, The Daily Telegraph. Then I saw a couple of words and gaped in horror. Nuts and Zoo Magazine... The plot had thickened. It turns out that the well-respected BBC, which prides itself on equality and fairness, is relying on 'sports experts' at lad mags to identify their Sports Personality of the Year. For those not familiar with the delights of Nuts or Zoo, these publications focus on a woman's more superficial assets. The sports editors at both establishments spend their days pondering which girl's breasts deserve to go on their front cover. Women deserve a right to participate in sport but only if they are playing topless tennis. The BBC should be embarrassed. They should be ashamed that, for even the briefest moment, they considered a lad's magazine worthy of selecting a sport figure who can act as a positive role model in society. Ashamed they entrusted such a decision to publications that undress women rather than address their sporting accomplishments. Is it too much to ask for a little common sense? Former world champion Karen Pickering offered some in her reaction to the BBC's 2011 shortlist. She claimed the nomination process should shift from using sports editors to letting past winners of the award decide the shortlist that goes before the British public. But instead of this view gaining support it will more likely leave people asking: who is Karen Pickering? Joanna Tilley is a freelance journalist working with Al Jazeera on the Sport website.
