US 7066972 B2 Abstract The invention provides an apparatus for online and on-site tracer generation for tagging natural gas stored in underground storage fields wherein feedstock is drawn from a feedstock source. The feedstock undergoes initial analysis to determine hydrocarbon levels. The feedstock then undergoes reaction to produce tracers such as ethylene, propylene, acetylene hydrogen and carbon monoxide. The feedstock is then analyzed to determine post reaction tracer concentration. The feedstock including generated tracers is then introduced back into the feedstock stream. Tracer levels in the pre-reaction or initial analysis of feedstock are compared with tracer levels in the post-reaction feedstock and the rate of flow of feedstock through the system is adjusted to achieve a predetermined level of tracer concentration. The level of tracer concentration will then be used to identify the particular natural gas charge in a storage field.

Description This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 10/235,180 filed Sep. 4, 2002 now U.S. Pat. No. 6,793,699 which claims the benefit of PPA Application No. 60/317,702 with a filing date of Sep. 5, 2001. Not applicable. Not applicable. This invention relates to an on-site, continuous method of tracer generation that can be utilized to tag natural gas. Natural gas is composed primarily of methane but contains lesser proportions of many compounds. Notable among those compounds are ethane, propane, and higher hydrocarbons. Although this invention finds application in tagging natural gas feedstock, it can be used to tag many other carbonaceous compounds including pure methane. Feedstock as used in this application encompasses natural gas, pure methane, the components of natural gas such as ethane, or any other carbonaceous substance in either liquid or gaseous form. Most of the natural gas that is used in North America is produced either in the Gulf Coast region or in Northwestern Canada. Yet, most of the gas is used in the Northeast, the Midwest, and the northwestern United States. Therefore, large pipelines crisscross the country to transport natural gas from the producing areas to areas where the gas is used. Natural gas is frequently a byproduct of oil production. To produce oil, one often must also produce natural gas. Thus natural gas is produced year round in oil producing areas. However, there are also areas, which produce only natural gas, without oil. In those areas it is necessary to produce gas continuously, at a controlled rate, to maximize the productivity of a gas field. Further, if gas or oil is produced too rapidly, it can result in groundwater being drawn into the well and can seriously damage or even destroy a well. Because gas is produced throughout the year but used primarily during the winter months, it is necessary to store natural gas until the months of peak usage. The most common method of storing natural gas is in underground storage reservoirs. Many of these storage reservoirs are areas where natural gas was produced years before. Because these reservoirs were demonstrated to have contained natural gas for millions of years, they provide a natural storage mechanism. Underground storage fields generally consist of porous rocks that are overlain by non-porous and non-permeable rocks. The porous rocks generally have the pore space filled with water. If one drills through the non-porous overlaying rock, or cap rock, one can pump gas into the pore space of the underlying reservoir unit, displacing the water. There are over 350 such underground storage fields in North America in which gas is pumped underground during the warmer months of the year, and then withdrawn when additional gas is needed during cold periods. Some of these reservoirs are near the producing areas and others are near the end markets, sometimes in populated areas. Although underground storage reservoirs are designed to contain the gas, leakage of gas from these reservoirs does sometimes occur, resulting in a loss to the owner. There are many scenarios in which identification of gas that has leaked or has been removed from a storage reservoir is critical. For example, if gas migrates to the surface it can enter shallow groundwater, used for drinking water supplies, and can even come to the surface, enter buildings, and result in explosions. Whenever natural gas is detected in the near-surface environment, over or near a gas storage reservoir, it becomes critical to determine if it is naturally occurring, native gas, or if it is gas leaking from the storage reservoir. Another setting in which gas identification is critical is when there are producing oil and/or gas wells near gas storage fields. There are numerous situations throughout North America where this is the case. Although a gas company may attempt to define and describe the limits of the underground storage reservoir, the natural variations in the earth structure make it extremely difficult to be precise. Thus when gas is produced from a horizon above or adjacent to a gas storage field, the question frequent arises as to the ownership of that gas. If the gas occurs naturally within the rocks, it is the property of the producer. However, if the gas has migrated from a gas storage field, depending upon local laws, it may remain the property of the gas company. There have been numerous disputes throughout the country over the ownership of natural gas. Thus, the ability to tag natural gas and the consequent capability of identifying the owner of the gas, is of significant value. To identify the source of natural gas, a tracer (like a fingerprint) may be added to the stored natural gas. By detecting the tracer contained in the gas under investigation, one could trace it back to its source. To qualify, the tracer has to satisfy several criteria: a). it must not normally exist in natural gas; b). it should not segregate from stored natural gas; c). it should not decompose rapidly or react with any other components; d). it should not be absorbed by the aquifer; and e). the detection limit should be low (that is the resolution should be high), so that the amount of added tracer can be low. Natural gas within distribution pipelines in the country is tagged by adding an odorant. This is generally a sulfur bearing mercaptan. Because these mercaptans do no normally exist within natural gas, the presence of a mercaptan within the gas identifies it as pipeline gas. In gas storage reservoirs, mercaptans cannot be used effectively as tracers because, among other reasons, they are very reactive with the rocks. The gas may contain mercaptans when it is injected into a reservoir, but that mercaptan can quickly disappear and not remain with the gas. There are no existing methods of tagging gas prior to gas storage that are simple enough and inexpensive enough to be used on a routine basis as is done for pipeline gas distribution systems. Many tracers have been tried, including ethylene, propylene, hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and others. Ethylene (C2H4) is one of the best tracers among all the tested tracers because it satisfies all the requirements of a good tracer. Pure ethylene generated offsite and shipped to the storage field has been used. Since the amount of natural gas to be stored is huge, in the range of billions of cubic feet, the use of pure ethylene is too expensive if it is used on a regular basis. Furthermore, commercially available quantities of ethylene are either too large or too small and are thus not suited to continuous use in tagging natural gas storage fields. This invention produces ethylene and other potential tracers at a low cost and in quantities ideal for tagging natural gas with this tracer. Although there have been several other tracers developed which can be utilized in gas reservoir studies for various purposes, there are none without serious limitation. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,551,154 to Malcosky describes an approach where the chemical sulfur hexafluoride and/or chloropentafluoroethane is injected into gas fields to determine ownership. Field tests have indicated that the two compounds were not fully recovered whereas as tracers such as ethylene, were fully recovered. The two tracers appeared to be less mobile than ethylene. Low permeability structures could restrict the migration of these compounds. Further, this system utilizes very expensive chemicals and specialized analytical equipment. Other authorities have determined that sulfur hexafluoride was not deemed to be a suitable tracer in this application due to its instability and reactivity under long-term field conditions and its differing dispersion behavior relative to methane, while yet other authorities maintain that sulfur hexafluoride may have toxicity problems that may preclude its extensive utilization. The invention uses materials to generate the tracer that are all readily available and inexpensive, i.e., the primary components of natural gas itself. Most of the processes that are used to generate ethylene or propylene from natural gas use only heat (pyrolysis), or at most, oxygen or water as the other reactant. Oxygen is of course readily available from air. Therefore, the invention does not involve transporting reactants from some great distance and is not hindered by commercially available quantities. With the use of the proper reactor, the only other thing needed to generate a tracer from natural gas is energy, which can even be supplied by combustion of a small amount of the natural gas itself. Pure ethylene can be used as a tracer, but because the amount of natural gas to be stored is huge, the use of pure ethylene is too expensive if it is used on regular basis. A new technology, which could produce ethylene and other potential tracers at a low cost is needed. The invention described herein, provides an apparatus whereby tracer can be added to natural gas continuously, and at very low cost. All current methods of adding tracers to natural gas involve transporting pure or manufactured products to the point where they can be introduced into the gas line. This invention allows on-site generation of tracer. The process generates compounds that are not normal constituents of natural gas and that have been previously verified as usable tracers within the gas storage industry. More specific tracers can be generated by utilizing water that is enriched in deuterium, tritium, oxygen-18, or other isotopic species. The process, being either pyrolysis or the catalytic reaction of air, carbon dioxide or water with natural gas, is such that the necessary, commercially available equipment can be made transportable for easy movement from one site to another. The cost of this process is so low that it will be possible to routinely and continuously tag all of the gas injected into a storage reservoir eliminating many of the problems associated with existing tracer technology. Currently there are no tracers for gas that is stored in underground reservoirs that can be economically utilized on a long term, continuous basis. The analytical equipment and methods necessary for analysis of the basic tracers are those present in most laboratories capable of carrying out routine analysis of natural gas, further adding to the economic benefits of this process. This invention is based on the discovery of a method of utilizing a feedstock, itself, to generate identifying tracers through either a pyrolytic process or a reaction process in the presence of certain catalysts. Ethylene is the primary tracer generated, however, other tracers such as propylene, acetylene, H2, CO, are also generated in the reaction process or other tracers such as deuterated water and isotopically labeled hydrocarbons can be introduced and can serve singly as tracers. Accordingly, these tracers can be used in combination to produce readily identifiable tracer mixtures that serve as unique markers. The invention not only creates the tracers but creates the tracers in predetermined concentrations. Feedstock tagged with predetermined concentrations can also serve as unique identifiers. A further aspect of the invention is the on-site capability of tracer generation. This allows entire storage fields to be continuously tagged at the time the fields are initially filled or injected eliminating the need to acquire tracer in commercially reasonable amounts and transporting those tracers to the field injection well.
This invention utilizes several processes to generate ethylene tracer and other secondary tracers. The processes are the oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) in natural gas process and pyrolysis of ethane, a constituent of natural gas. For pyrolysis, both atmospheric pressure and high-pressure conditions were studied. These two technologies allow a cost-effective on-site and online process for underground gas storage use on a regular basis. Furthermore, the process may also employ oxidative pyrolysis, chloropyrolysis, steam and/or carbon dioxide reforming and partial oxidation of natural gas and natural gas conversion using electric arc or plasma to generate such tracers as acetylene, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and isotopically labeled hydrocarbons An experimental reaction system was designed for the OCM and pyrolysis experiments. Separate sources for CH4, natural gas and air were fed into a central line through individual flow meters. The central line then led to a heat source surrounding the reactor. In the atmospheric pressure experiments, a quartz tube (7 mm ID) was used as the reactor with a heating zone approximately 30 cm long. In the pressurized pyrolysis, a stainless steel tube (0.04 inch ID and ��16 inch OD) was used. Here the heating zone was also 30 cm long. In the latter system, a pressure release valve was used to keep the system pressure at 850 psi. Actual pipeline gas was used but pure methane was tested for comparison purposes. Table 1 illustrates the composition of methane and the pipeline gas used.
In the OCM process, methane, the major component of natural gas, is used as feedstock to generate higher hydrocarbon compounds. The simplified chemistry of OCM process is as follows: 2CH4+O2══C2H4+2H2O. The oxygen can be from air or pure oxygen gas. For the purposes of the invention, air is easier and cheaper to obtain. The OCM process will utilize a catalyst that results in the production of ethylene as one of the major C2 products when the reaction is properly controlled. Since the OCM reaction is very fast and strongly exothermic, only low oxygen concentrations can be applied. Thus the concentration of ethylene in the product stream is usually low. It should be noted that low concentration of product, added to the high cost of separating ethylene from the product stream are factors that hinders the commercialization of OCM process for ethylene production, but are not factors for the on-site production of tracer. One catalyst studied was Mn/Na2WO4/SiO2. Table 2 illustrates the yield of ethylene in one sample of pure methane and one sample of natural gas (NG), both in the presence of the Mn/Na2WO4/SiO2 (LICP-1) catalyst.
These test results show the yield of ethylene from natural gas in the catalytic process increased by more than two percent as compared to that observed for natural gas in the non-catalytic process. Ethane pyrolysis is a well-established process. However, reaction kinetics have been studied primarily with pure ethane (with steam) pyrolysis and at atmospheric pressure. In order to obtain more realistic data, pyrolysis of real pipeline gas (NG) was conducted at a total pressure of 1 atmosphere. Table 3 illustrates the results of ethylene production at standard pressures using pipeline gas.
The results showed that at 900� C. about 70% of the ethane in the pipeline gas is converted to ethylene. A small amount of acetylene is also formed, which can also be used as a tracer. The results are in agreement with the results from theoretical prediction. It can be seen in Table 3 that, as predicted by thermodynamics, higher temperature favors the ethane pyrolysis reaction. Since pipeline gases are usually pressurized and the pressure of gas to be stored underground is even higher, it would be desirable to convert ethane at an elevated pressure, especially at or above the transportation pressure of pipeline gas. Most of the pipeline gas has a pressure range from 600 psi to 850 psi, and 850 psi was chosen as the test pressure. Table 4 illustrates the results of ethylene production at elevated pressures similar to those seen in natural gas pipelines.
The ethylene concentration in the product stream produced at high pressure was lower than the ethylene concentration produced in the atmospheric system. This can be explained by the effect of partial pressure of ethane in the system. Total pressure adversely affects the equilibrium constant for ethane conversion. Increasing pressure decreases the ethylene concentration. At 850� C. and at 850 psi, about 30% of ethane that existed in pipeline natural gas is converted to ethylene, compared with 70% for the atmospheric process. This is in agreement with the thermodynamics. At 850� C., and under optimized residence time, the maximum ethylene concentration is about 30% of the ethane concentration in the feedstock. In this case ethane concentration in feedstock is around 3.6 and the highest ethylene concentration in the test is 1.2%. Ethane partial pressure in the pressurized system is around 3.6%*850=30 psi, which is approximately 2 atm and is close to the pressure used in commercial processes. It should be noted as illustrated in the last column, that propylene is also generated and this too can serve as a tracer. Controlling the ethylene/propylene ratio provides a way of generating different �signatures� in different gas streams. It is interesting to note that the optimized conditions for maximizing ethylene concentration could be very close to the optimization conditions for maximizing propylene concentration. All mechanisms tested generated ethylene in sufficient quantities to allow a tracer concentration of 50 to 100 parts per million to be generated in the post pyrolysis feedstock to be introduced into the feedstock stream designated for injection. Additional tracers can be generated post-pyrolysis by reforming reactions using water and/or carbon dioxide or partial oxidation using air. Reforming reactions involving the addition of heat, would follow the general formula 2H2O+C2H6==2CO+5H2 or 2CO2+C2H6==4CO+3H2. Oxidation reactions would follow the general formula O2+C2H6==2CO+3H2. CO is not present in natural gas and can provide additional tracer functions. De-coking can also be accomplished by the addition of water, carbon dioxide and air, pre-pyrolysis. The basic reactions would be as follows: H2O+C══CO+H2, or CO2+C==2CO, and finally O2+C==2CO. Turning to Drawing feedstock from the feedstock source is accomplished by second line 3 that exits the storage field compressor and enters first flow meter 4 that measures the flow rate within the feedstock source. A transducer in flow meter 4 will transmit data, through first data line 52 to computer control 55 indicating the volume of feedstock passing through flow meter 4. Twenty-sixth line 5 exist flow meter 4 and enters the storage field. Third line 6 establishes fluid communication with the feedstock source and removes feedstock under pressure to flow control and pressure reduction valve 7, also fluidly connected to third line 6. Regulating flow and pressure thorough the fluid communication is flow control and pressure reduction valve 7. Valve 7 is controlled through second data line 53, which is connected to the computer control 55 and controls the quantity and pressure of the gas passing valve 7. The flow control and pressure reduction valve also will serve to reduce the variations in pressure, which may be induced by the storage field compressor and is controlled by computer control 55, again through second data line 53. Fourth line 8 then delivers feedstock to a collector 9 that cools the feedstock within the fluid communication. Collector 9 is designed to cryogenically precipitate certain classes of compounds such as butanes and pentanes, which contribute to coking later in the process. Fifth line 10 then exits the collector 9 and enters second flow meter 11. Second flow meter 11 measures the flow rate within the fluid communication at this stage. Second flow meter 11 contains a transducer, which transmits data, through third data line 54, to computer control 55, reporting the effects, on the feedstock, of flow control and pressure reduction valve 7. Sixth line 12 exits second flow meter 11 and enters heat exchanger 13. Heat exchanger 13 utilizes heat from downstream feedstock exiting from a reaction zone to allow preheating of the feedstock within the fluid communication which then enters the reaction zone of the reactors. Preheating in heat exchanger 13 saves energy and reduces the time necessary for the feedstock to remain within the reaction zone. Seventh line 14 exits heat exchanger 13 and enters first three-way valve 15. First three-way valve 15 directs the feedstock to either first primary reactor 32 or second primary reactor 33. In The post reaction analysis of the feedstock to determine trace levels is accomplished when thirteenth line 45 diverts a sample of feedstock from twelfth line 44 into third three-way valve 45 a. Third three-way valve 45 a then diverts feedstock in thirteenth line 45 into fourteenth line 47 and consequently into analyzer 48. Thus a fluid communication with post reaction feedstock is established. Introduction of the post reaction feedstock into the analyzer is accomplished allowing the measure of tracer levels. Analyzer 48, in this configuration, would be a gas analyzer such as a gas chromatograph, mass spectrometer, infrared spectroscope or other analyzer of similar capability. Analyzer 48 measures the level of tracer and transmits that information to computer control 55 through fourth data line 50. Data establishing the desired level of tracer concentration is introduced into the computer control 55 that has been programmed to adjust the system to achieve a predetermined desired tracer concentration. Computer control 55 consequently transmits flow and pressure regulating data within the fluid communication and adjusts the flow rate through flow control and pressure reduction valve 7 by transmitting data instructions through second data line 53. Adjusting the rate of draw of feedstock into the system is initiated if the analysis reveals that tracer levels are falling, computer control 55 then increases the amount of feedstock flowing through flow control and pressure reduction valve 7 and, consequently, a greater amount of tracer is generated bringing the tracer level up to the desired value. Three-way valve 45 a also will allow a sample to be taken through fifteenth line 46 of the feedstock in second line 3 emanating from the storage field compressor. Thus a fluid communication with pre reaction feedstock is established. Introduction of the pre reaction feedstock into the analyzer is accomplished allowing the measure of tracer levels at that point in the system. Tracer levels within the post reaction feedstock and pre reaction feedstock are compared with the predetermined desired tracer concentration. Software that could be utilized could be programs such as �The Gas Flow Control System� by Zin Technologies or the combined use of �Lookout� by National Instruments and �TLC Momentum from Modocom Instruments. Sixth dataline 51 connects third three-way valve 45 a and computer control 55. Computer control 55 will cause three-way valve 45 a to continuously and alternately draw samples from fourteenth line 45 and fifteenth line 46. As stated, fourteenth line 45 draws product gas from first line 1, however, fifteenth line 46 will draw pre pyrolysis feedstock from second line 3. Feedstock from second line 3 is continuously analyzed to determine the level of tracer that has been introduced through fourteenth line 45 into first line 1. Introducing the feedstock into a reaction zone is accomplished by first three-way valve 15 being set to direct the feedstock flow from seventh line 14 into seventeenth line 16 and into first primary reactor 32. After remaining in the reaction zone for a predetermined period of time, where the tracer is generated. Feedstock then exits through eighteenth line 24 and into second three-way valve 36, which is set to accept feedstock from eighteenth line 24 passing it on through to tenth line 42. In this way, the reaction zone may be shifted from second primary reactor 33 to first primary reactor 32, thereby taking second primary reactor offline to allow decoking. In this manner, second primary reactor 33 and first primary reactor 32 may be alternately taken off line for maintenance, component replacement and decoking. Decoking of the second primary reactor may be accomplished by adjusting first three-way valve 15 and second three-way valve 36 to place first primary reactor 32 online. Then, first valve 19 is closed and second valve 22 is opened. This will allow compressed air from compressed air source 20 to flow into nineteenth line 21 and subsequently into twentieth line 27 and then into second primary reactor 33 allowing coke burn off. At the same time third valve 26 is closed and fourth valve 29 is open. Then the decoking product stream exits second primary reactor 33 via ninth line 34, then enters twenty-first line 35, then into through fourth valve 29, into twenty eighth line 30 and exits the system through vent 31. Alternatively, first three-way valve 15 and second three-way valve 36 may be set to allow the redirecting of the feedstock into second primary reactor 33. Second valve 22 is closed and first valve 19 is open. Thus, allowing compressed air to pass into nineteenth line 21 and on into twenty second line 17, then into first primary reactor 32. The combustion stream from decoking then exits first primary reactor 32 via eighteenth line 24, then enters twenty third line 25 passing through open third valve 26 entering line 30, then closed fourth valve 29 will direct the combustion product to vent outside the system through vent 31. In order to facilitate decoking or to generate further secondary tracers, other reactants may be introduced under pressure through reactant source 38. Reactant source 38 and the consequent introduction of reactants, is activated by computer control 55 through fifth data line 49. Should decoking be desired, compounds such as water, carbon dioxide and air may be introduced. In this case, those compounds would exit reactant source 38 into fourth three-way valve 28, which will be sent to empty into twenty third line 40, which will then transmit the decoking compounds through seventh line 14 into either the first primary reactor 32 or the second primary reactor 33. Alternatively, fourth three-way valve 28 could be configured to introduce reactants from reactant source 38 into twenty fifth line 37, which will then be transferred into secondary reactor 41. An alternative embodiment would be the use of a mechanism to generate pressure differential such as a separate compressor, choke, or valve in place of the storage field compressor, to cause flow through the reactor. As shown in Although the description above contains many detailed specifics, they should be viewed as illustrative and not as limiting the scope of the invention which should be determined by the claims and their legal equivalents.

The Arizona brouhaha over serving gays is just silly. I always find it odd that people "demand" service from people who do not wish to serve them. If I were to do this, I would expect poor service; so isn't it better to seek this service elsewhere? Are laws against providing poor service to follow? How do you draw the line on that one? What if a bakery provided the cake for a gay wedding and included a Bible verse on it? Or mixed in some cayenne pepper or too much salt or dog crap? There are an infinite number of ways to provide poor service and make it clear that being forced into defacto slavery will result in poor service. This will likely result in a bad reputation in the gay community for said bakers, but isn't that the point? When will people learn that laws don't instill what lawmakers believe to be virtues (whether they are or not)?

I like watching old westerns on Youtube like Have Gun Will Travel episodes, Rawhide, Wagon Train, Death Valley Days, et al and recently I've been on running through Gunsmoke.

I loved HGWT the best, because it shows people handling their differences privately without "the law" using natural law, negotiation, reason and a hired facilitator. Gunsmoke is the exact opposite, every conflict must be settled by "The Law" or, as the story goes, we'd all kill each other. This episode in Season 6 "Love Thy Neighbor" is a classic representation of the underlying propaganda that runs through most episodes with authoritarian "justice" being the precursor to civil society. With many of the 1950s and 1960s western icons (Jack Elam, Warren Oates, Dean Stanton, et al) guest-starring in this episode, these poor, ignorant characters could have all been saved if only they had let Marshall Dillon take care of them. When the Marshall kills somebody, he "had to do it", but when others use the same methods as he, then they are criminals because they don't have a tin star on their chest. As a side note, it's funny how Marshall Dillon is a stickler for the law with most people, but when he feels "The Law" needs to be ignored for his friends and those he sympathizes with, then it's the right thing to do to "stretch the law" arbitrarily. Looking back at how I watched these shows as a kid and how easily I was brainwashed into accepting authoritarianism as the righteous alternative to liberty, I must laugh at myself while realizing how most people never even question how they became authoritarians.
Adults who live in the "greatest country in the world" don't even have average literacy skills: http://nypost.com/2013/10/08/us-adults-are-dumber-than-the-average-human/ The trend is also obvious. Aren't government schools just great?
The Corbett Report does and excellent job addressing the most recent global warming propaganda report from the cronies at the UN: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOyBfihjQvI It amazes me how many people can still fall for this unscientific polemic against mankind.
how the National Parks can pay their minions to guard the gates and keep people out of the parks, but not to let them in and enjoy the parks? Even when all they have to do is unlock the gate? Of course, closing the parks and shutting down other "services" that the little guy uses is just for propaganda purposes. This is like the mayor of a City stopping garbage pick-up when he wants a tax increase, it mobilizes the masses to cry for a solution. Otherwise, nobody would notice the shut-down of government and more people would realize that the state does more harm than good.

- Dispatcher who handled deadly Observatory Park call, resigns
The Observatory Park man accused of killing his wife while she pleaded for help on a call with a 911 operator briefly appeared in Denver District Court on Monday.
Richard Kirk faces one count of first-degree murder in the death of his wife, 44-year-old Kristine A. Kirk. The 47-year-old man was formally advised of the charge Monday.
Kirk's restraints jingled as he shuffled into the courtroom. He glanced over his shoulder just long enough to make eye contact with his brother, before he turned to face the judge.
A thin layer of gray stubble grew in patches on his cheeks, emphasizing the shadow below his clearly exhausted eyes. The only time Kirk spoke was a two-word response when the judge asked if he understood the charge against him.
Kirk purchased marijuana candy at about 6:40 p.m. on April 14 and is accused of shooting his wife to death about three hours later. Kristine Kirk called 911 at 9:31 p.m. to report that her husband was ranting about the end of the world, hallucinating and urging her to shoot him, according to a search-warrant affidavit.
According to the affidavit, Kristine Kirk told the 911 operator her husband had taken marijuana and possibly consumed pain pills as well. In the background, Richard Kirk could be heard talking about marijuana candy he had eaten.
Kristine Kirk spent 13 minutes on the phone with the 911 operator. Moments after she asked the 911 operator to "please hurry," the operator heard a gunshot and the line went silent.
Officers found Kristine Kirk inside the home with a gunshot wound to the head.
According to dispatch recordings, it took officers more than 15 minutes to arrive at the Kirk home.
A preliminary hearing for Kirk has been set for June 12. He remains in custody.

House Majority Leader Cantor defeated in stunning upset
June 11, 2014
By Ballotpedia's Congressional team
Cantor's loss
An unprecedented loss by Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA) gives him the dubious distinction of being the first-ever sitting House Majority Leader to lose a primary bid. Cantor is second in line in leadership behind Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH). The stunning upset victory by Randolf-Macon College professor David Brat puts Republicans in the U.S. House into a leadership scramble.
Brat beat Cantor with a margin of victory of more than 10 percentage points in the 7th District. He will face Dr. Jack Trammell (D), who also works at Randolph-Macon, as well as James Carr (L) in the November general election.[1]
Ironically, Cantor, who is stepping down as House Majority Leader, may have fallen victim to an anti-incumbent movement that he helped fund in the last election cycle. In 2012, the Campaign for Primary Accountability was active in an Illinois GOP primary involving incumbent Don Manzullo and newcomer/challenger Adam Kinzinger. Cantor endorsed Kinzinger, and Cantor's PAC made a $25,000 contribution to the Campaign for Primary Accountability. Kinzinger won.
In 2012, Cantor received 37,369 votes in the Republican primary. As of Wednesday morning, Cantor received only 28,898 votes in 2014. The real story, however, is just how many voters participated in this year's primary. The vote totals in 2012 were 47,037 votes compared to yesterday's 65,008 voters. This is a turnout increase of 38.2 percent since 2012. Despite the tea party's high profile primaries in 2010 and 2012, Cantor is the highest-ranking Republican to lose a primary election since the movement's rise.
Virginia has an open primary process, in which registered voters do not have to be members of a party to vote in that party's primary. With the Democrats in the 7th District having already nominated their candidate at a committee meeting on June 8, they were free to vote in the Republican primary on Tuesday.[2] The 17,900 additional voters who cast a ballot in this year's Republican primary, relative to 2012, could have been partly influenced by the open primary system in Virginia. In the week prior to the primary, former Rep. Ben Jones (D-GA) circulated an open letter to all non-Republicans in the district to vote in the Republican primary for David Brat in hopes to retire Cantor. However, considering the definitive margin of victory in the race, it is improbable that Democrats are responsible for this result.[3]
Cantor had spent over $1 million dollars in the last month of the election, compared to Brat having barely raised $100,000 during the entire primary campaign, according to FEC filings.
Cantor, first elected in 2000, was facing heat from Virginia Republicans. In May 2014, Cantor was booed at the 7th District's Republican convention. This was his third contested primary race in his eight congressional elections. In 2000, Cantor won his first primary election by a margin of victory of only .6 percentage points. In 2012, he easily sailed to the general election with a 58.9 percentage point margin of victory.[2]
As Speaker of the House John Boehner's second-in-command, Cantor is responsible for being a top spokesman for the party and setting the House agenda. After this defeat, Cantor may have less pull in the House as he finishes his term with the 113th Congress. Many also believed that Cantor would be the next choice for Speaker.[2][4]
U.S. House, Virginia District 7 Republican Primary, 2014 | ||||
Candidate | Vote % | Votes | ||
David Brat | 55.5% | 36,110 | ||
Eric Cantor Incumbent | 44.5% | 28,898 | ||
Total Votes | 65,008 | |||

Democratic challenger
The Democrats found themselves in a bind a day before the party primary; nobody had filed for the ballot resulting in the Monday nomination of Jack Trammell, a professor at Randolph-Macon College, and co-workers with Brat.
The 7th District Democrats had previously fought off rumors that Mike Dickinson, who refers to himself as an "aggressive progressive liberal democrat," would be on the primary ballot. The party leaders of the district tried to distance themselves from Dickinson who was, as of this week, still stating that he would be on the general election ballot. Dickinson, an active Twitter user, tweeted: "I did not file for their convention. Waste of time. I didn't forget to file w them, I chose not too. I'm running just not w them."
In Virginia, each district's party has some control on the nomination process and decide whether to go to a ballot or use a party convention process. According to Virginia's election code:
" | The duly constituted authorities of the political party, as stated in its rules and bylaws, have the right determine the method by which the party nominates for an office within a congressional, General Assembly district, county, city, or town in which an office is to be filled.[5][2][6] | " |
The general election ballot in Virginia's 7th Congressional District will look different this November. With a race against two little-known candidates that will kick into full-gear in the coming weeks, the 7th District is sure to be the focus of much media attention.

The talented midfielder is a player the club are eager to keep at Upton Park as they look to win an immediate return to the top flight.
With Scott Parker seemingly to depart over the summer as Tottenham continue to be strongly linked, it will be left to the likes of Collison to help lead a promotion push.

Talks are set to continue over the summer as both parties look to thrash out fresh terms for a player highly-rated in the East End.

Charles Owen Body Protectors and Helmets Riding Apparel Press Release
Charles Owen Bespoke Fitting (UK/USA) - 24/05/2004 - The Ultralight Body Protector (shown) has been tried and tested throughout all stages of development by Riders from all disciplines. The design has proved to be light, comfortable and easy to wear.
Fully adjustable quick release fastenings around the waist are additionally secured with aan elasticated belt. The flexible and increasingly lightweight foam moulds to the shape of the body for a look that is flattering and unobtrusive offering protection without restriction. The interchangeable panels within the size range enable unusual fitting requirements to be catered for.
For example, a customer with a large chest and a short back can be fitted using the panels from an Adults medium front with an Adults small Back. Seperate replacement panels can then be re-ordered by the Retailer to maintain a standard size range of products while also having the flexibility of providing bespoke fittings. The problem of carrying non-standard items is eliminated and capital doesn't remain on the shelf waiting for an unusual customer.
The Body Protector Ultralight is available in a total of forty two colours and colour combinations. A Medical Card Holder has now been incorporated into the design which can be displayed when required by Ruling Associations such as The Pony Club or BE. When not required it can be tucked discreetly and securely inside the bottom left hand side of the garment. The Medical Card Holder fastens with pop studs into two postitions within the Body Protector itself. Display and non-display. The holder contains its own medical card ready for completion by the rider, therby negating the need to order on seperatly.
The range of Charles Owen Hats and Helmets aims to cater for every head size and head shape. Round heads, narrow heads, long heads, shallow heads even unevenly shaped heads which sometimes are found in young children before their skull has settled. (For example, a forceps delivery can result in this before the plates of the skull have had time to mature.) Hat fitting training is provided by Charles Owen and qualified fitters are given a personalised certificate. This resource means that retailers are able to confidently provide a Custom Fit Service, making tiny adjustments using the materials provided by Charles Owen themselves.

It has been said, "Patience is a virtue" and "good things come to those who wait." Do you get annoyed when things don't happen fast enough? Do you tap your foot impatiently or keep looking at your watch when waiting on line? I am learning that when we learn to accept what is, and embrace […]

Perfect dresses that lay within your own closet.
High school proms are a big deal and a big expense: limo, tickets, suits and dresses. Now admit it girls, how many prom dresses get worn once and then hung in a closet left to collect dust? A prom dress, if taken care of, can be timeless. I understand the unspoken taboo of wearing the […]

Screen Protector
Will this screen protector work on my 9860? Is the 9850 screen the same size as the 9860?

Re: Screen Protector
I use the Zagg screen protector on my 9850. It is guaranteed for life. (they will replace it for free, if something should happen to it.) I have used them on 3 BB phones and my Garmin GPS. I always wondered my others sell their screen protectors in 3 packs.
Southern Illinois does not start at the southern edge of Cook County! (Chicago) It is about 250 miles South of there!! I really wish Illinois politicians knew this!!! Rockin an AWESOME Z30 - 10-30-12, 04:08 AM #4

I have tried several brands and grains of ammo and they are all hitting low. So far, I have put over 300 rounds though it. I am able to keep tight groups...just too low. Does anyone have any suggestions that may help me out?

The Best of 2014: SuperLunchNotes!
I hope to get around to a "Greatest Hits of 2014″ post for all of DesignerDaddy.com, but until then this one will have to do. It's been a while since I've posted any SuperLunchNotes, so here's a Year In Review/Top 14 (give or take)/Best of 2014 thing. It was hard to narrow them down or pick a statistical manner in which to list them, thus I went with a mix of most popular and personal favorites of both mine and Jon's. Bon Appétit! (Note: click all the smaller notes to view in Big-O-Vision!)
Big Hero 6 Review: A Big Hit with the Whole Family
To cap off a truly epic 5th birthday weekend for our little (sorry, BIG) guy, we put down the LEGO sets and headed out to see Big Hero 6 as a family. This had been in place for several months — long before we'd planned the birthday party or bought presents or spent way too much time stuffing the hero-themed goody bags.
On a previous family movie outing, we'd seen the trailer for a new film we knew nothing about called Big Hero 6. Yet by the end of the preview we were all hooked. Disney + Marvel + superheroes + martial arts + huggable robots = DUH. And then it said it was coming out November 7 — OUR SON'S BIRTHDAY. We made plans then and there to be back opening day.
Since the characters and story were new to us, I had fun doing some "research" and then "educating" Jon in preparation for the birthday viewing. We had a blast on the film's web site, which included character profiles, video clips and a couple of cool games. I even bought a picture book to read at bedtime. Disney — ever the marketing masters — already had quite a few books (for all ages) available prior to the movie's release.
And it probably comes as no surprise that I made lunch notes of all the characters. But okay, enough set up — what did we think of the movie?
Movie-Inspired Halloween Costumes
If you're frantically looking for easy, last-minute Halloween costume ideas, this is probably not the post for you. But if you love Halloween, creativity and the movies, you've come to the right place!
I recently started writing family-related content for Fandango, and my first assignment was an article about creative family Halloween costumes. Our family has always had a blast dressing up together, and I knew I had more than a few friends out there who did the same. So I pooled my massive sea of Internet resources, and they delivered… TOO MUCH! I ended up with more content than Fandango could use, so I wanted to give these other cinematically-creative families the spotlight on my own site. Go grab some popcorn, sit back, and enjoy these picturesque, movie-inspired Halloween costumes!
Rocket from Guardians of the Galaxy
An avid comic book fan, James decided to make his young son into Rocket Raccoon for an upcoming comic-con, who had seen (and been enamored by) the Guardians of the Galaxy trailer he'd seen on TV. The costume was a simpler version than shown here, but James made it all himself. At the convention it caught the eye of an experienced costumer who ended up making the custom mask, feet and tail shown in the photo. Way to work a room, Rocket! James' son will, of course, be trick-or-treating in his full Rocket gear this Halloween.
Get the look: The jacket was made by cutting up and sewing pieces from a red t-shirt onto a navy turtleneck, accented with gold buttons. The raccoon tail (found at a frontier shop) was sewn into the seat of blue sweatpants. Read more here.
Nobody's Hero
I was coming off a four-day stint of flying solo while Papa was away at a conference, and not feeling too confident about my parenting skills. In fact, I was feeling downright shitty about them. Wallowing in self-doubt, self-pity, and other self-related things that suck, I walked by a drawing Jon had done earlier in the day.
The forecast for Saturday had been for a day full of rain, so we had a couple of preschool classmates and their dad over for the afternoon. Sometime in-between watching videos and the MMA match that signaled the end of the play date, the kids had pulled out the crayons and a Star Wars notepad I'd gotten Jon from the dollar bin at Target, and were cranking out quite a few masterpieces.
As I noticed the drawing again that evening, I added to the mental list of my shortcomings, "kid can't draw." I wasn't upset with him or the quality of his artwork. Instead, I took it as evidence of an inability to transfer my skill set to my son. And I was jealous that the other boy that was here was a better artist, and that this was something Jon and I didn't have that in common. All this landed atop the pile of misery I'd already put on my tired, beaten-down shoulders.
SuperLunchNotes: Back to School, or Why I Stopped Telling My Son I Loved Him
Holy Time-loss, Batman! Has it really been a year already?! For the first week of school, I wanted to come out strong on the lunch notes, as this was the start of my son's second year of preschool. So I went back to where it all started…Batman. His image is the most iconic, most adaptable, and rife with puns to be played upon. I threw in some other favorites (Cyborg, GL), Daddy's favorite (Aquaman, duh) and a first appearance from Booster Gold, who we'd watched on an episode of Batman: The Brave & the Bold recently.
And finally, for good measure I added "♥ Daddy" as a signature. This was to be a short-lived addition…
BACK TO SCHOOL WEEK-ish: August 28 – September 5, 2014

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Power Lunch Back-to-School Giveaway
That title's a mouthful, ain't it? Yet it's certainly befitting my epic team-up with fellow Dad Blogger and Lunchtime Super Power, Lunchbox Dad! We're serving up some fun and creative ways to prepare school lunches — plus a ginormous giveaway to help you make lunchtime awesome!
One of the unexpected perks of blogging has been all of the interesting, talented and just downright nice people I've met. Whether online or hanging out in real life, I've found support and inspiration from so many of my dad blogging bros. One whose creativity I've admired for a while is Beau Coffron, AKA Lunchbox Dad. Check out his web site or Instagram to see what I mean — he puts so much fun and imagination into the meals he makes for his kids. It's a scrumptious sight to behold!
I had the pleasure of meeting Beau in person at a conference in July. While we were there, we did some brainstorming over beer and Happy Meals for ways to combine our lunch-related passions into a cool giveaway for our readers.
SuperLunchNotes: I Know What You Doodled Last Summer
Before we're all completely consumed with back-to-school madness, let's take a moment to bask in the fading glow of summer…
My son's preschool has a super-duper summer program. It's similar to the regular school year, but loaded with extra helpings of sunshine, water and dirt. I continued the lunch note habit tradition all summer, and with each week of the program having its own theme, I had plenty of inspiration. Here are some highlights from SuperLunchNotes: Summer Edition.
MARTIAL ARTS WEEK: June 9 – 12, 2014
Michelangelo | Pink Ranger | Iron Fist | Nightwing
Jon attended a friend's birthday party at a taekwondo studio, which helped kick off the start to an exciting summer.
The Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon has been a great way to introduce Jon to a few more Marvel characters. Some purists don't like the teenaged versions of heroes like Iron Fist, but I kinda dig the 21 Jump Street angle of the show. Fun Fact: the actor who does the voice of Iron Fist also does Michelangelo's voice on the current TNMT cartoon.
SuperLunchNotes: The Powerpuff Girls
I'm taking a quick break between all my conference goings-on at Blog-Her'14 to post the final Girl Power Week SuperLunchNotes — THE POWERPUFF GIRLS! They've getting a makeover soon, but nothing can top the originals to truly capture their cuteness, energy and ass-kicking ability!
Speaking of cuteness, energy and ass-kicking, I've already had a chance to reconnect with many of the wonderful women I met at both Dad 2.0 Summit and SalonLGBTQ, and have much more connecting, reconnecting, learning and a bit of drinking (and perhaps karaoke) to do before Saturday night rolls around. More to come…
Have a great weekend, and be sure to tell the powerful women and girls in your life how much you appreciate them. They are NOT to be messed with.

SuperLunchNotes: Zatanna
The penultimate Girl Power Week SuperLunchNotes is the Mistress of Magic, the Princess of Prestidigitation, the Babe of Backwards Black Arts*, Zatanna!
Yup, she's physically (or magically, rather) powerful, but what you're not seeing on the note is her Playboy Bunny-esque outfit, particularly her bottomless tuxedo top and fishnet stockings. Very few female superheroes embody the true feminist spirit, but Zatanna's getup speaks to a bygone era of across-the-board acceptable objectification. For what it's worth, she does make all the Hottest Women in Comics lists (yes, that's a thing).
They tried a couple of other costumes for Zee in the 70s and 80s. And while they covered more skin, they were pretty horrendous looking, and she eventually reverted to her original outfit from her first appearance in 1964. Can't beat the classic, I guess.
So for now I'm just teaching my son there's more ways to be powerful than throwing a punch or shooting a crossbow. And if he ever asks about the fishnets, I'll tell him they have magical powers of distraction.
*I made that last one up.

Whats not to despise,,,,,,, about the people who run this country? They lie, cheat, send people out to fight wars for no other reason than power, money, revenge. Are we supposed to sit back and admire these people?
Almost EACH and EVERY candidate running for office today will lie and say anything to get elected and then go and do what they want with no concern for the people of this country. These people are controlled,, and working, not for the people, but for the Big biz which is polluting the water, air and food we need. The enslavers of mankind.
You are disturbed by the hate towards these people?
Where I do not advocate hate, I certainly can understand what and why people would hate these "people". What I do not understand and am disturbed by,, is some peoples LACK of outrage towards these monsters. Its hard to be civil towards a criminal while he is stealing you blind, killing your kids and raping the country you live in while he wants to spy on you like you are the one doing something wrong.. A president and any other so called public servant which has sworn to uphold and protect the constitution and has then forsaken his or her vow,, or any other vow, is worthy of nothing other than contempt. So I will say it flat out, The Bushs, the clintons, edwards and all the other liars running for and in, a so called public office make me sick. They deserve to be arrested for treason and done with as any should be who has sold out this country and its people. This isn't hate its moral outrage.
When all is said and done it is usually hate of and an overwhelming anger towards the tyrants,, which finally makes a people rise up and throw off the chains of tyranny. They do not say,, lets be civil about this.
