Zachary Rodgers | September 6, 2011 | Comments
In step toward premium mobile, AdMob directs WAP publishers to AdSense.
AdMob is on its way to becoming an app-only ad network.
By the end of this month, the Google-owned mobile ad seller will quit serving ads to older, WAP-based (define) mobile sites. Instead it will direct those publishers to its AdSense network, where Google says it is "pleased to offer a unified, specialized service for mobile web site publishers."
Beginning on October 1, AdMob will be Google's hub for ads on high-end devices such as iPhones and Android gadgets. That includes both app and browser-based inventory, but eventually AdMob intends to kick out all the browser ads. While it hasn't named a cut-off date for when it will stop serving ads to smart phone browsers, it's encouraging all mobile web publishers to begin the switch to AdSense now.
Why the exclusive focus on apps? One reason is they offer a richer creative palette and therefore higher CPMs than many browser environments. By focusing on such premium offerings as the mobile ad space matures, AdMob may hope to avoid the fate of legions of Web-based ad networks that suffered years of weak prices resulting from an excess of Interactive Advertising Bureau standard banner inventory.
According to Google, the bifurcation of web and app mobile inventory is simply another step in the integration of AdMob and Google. That integration was previously indicated by offerings such as DoubleClick ad serving in AdMob and an AdSense backfill option for AdMob publishers with unsold inventory.
In its blog post warning mobile publishers of the change, Google sought to assuage concern among mobile site owners that the move could result in a technical headache and lower revenue. It said, "We are absolutely confident that…we'll be able to offer the best technology and reporting, the easiest to use tools, the highest quality ads, and the most revenue possible."
Google says the division of its mobile ad sales into app and web-based inventory has been underway for some time. Earlier this year, participants in an AdSense for Mobile Applications beta test were switched to AdMob.

Looking for Bucilla Christmas Stocking Pattern
laural-crafterApril 23, 2010
In the 70's I knitted a Bucilla Christmas stocking for my daughter. My daughter is now engaged and I would like to knit another stocking for my future son-in-law. If anyone has the a pattern and would be willing to share, please let me know. Thanks so much.
I googled and found lots of kits in various types of crafts. You might look for 'Bucilla Christmas Stocking' and find the one you want or provide a better description here. I'm thinking that if it's still being sold in kits that the copyright is still in force and permission would have to be obtained to get the pattern without the kit.

These panels arrived quickly, as always, with O. I like the weave and pattern of the fabric. I ordered the color "STRAW" . When received, I reopened the web page and tried to find which color I received but there isn't one shown that is close to what I got, which is a pure GOLD shade, much more yellowish than the photo. Fortunately, the room they're going in needed more color and it picks up the same shade in some pillows, so after letting them hang for a couple of days I decided to keep them. I tend to choose colors that are too bland, so maybe this was good in the end, but I really don't think the photo is representative at all.
I loved everything about these curtains except for the fact that they weren't lined or backed. I should have searched for that detail, but the fabric appeared heavy enough in the picture. Once hung, the backlighting from outside completely obfuscated the rich color and pattern, making it appear translucent and monochromatic. Backing would also preserve the curtain's reverse side stitching. As is, the stitching is exposed and could easily snag.
The product was really worth it and I was very satisfied, however, I ordered the wrong number of panels,and they were out of the color I had ordered. I was really disappointed, but I called the customer service line anyway, and XXXX one of the representatives contacted the manufacturer and was able to get 4 more panels sent to me! It made my week!
I'm so glad I ordered these curtains. They look gorgeous and they do a good job with both light blocking and insulation.
I was a bit apprehensive to order these curtains because of the other reviews detailing the inaccurate color depictions. I purchased the teal/chocolate ones and LOVE THEM. They are exactly what I was looking for and the color was spot on. They are not lines, but the inside is just as nice as the exposed side. The only error I made in purchasing these curtains was I overlooked that it is a single panel rather than a pair. Boy, I thought I was getting quite the deal for a PAIR of curtains! :-) Even with that, I still love and am pleased with the value.

Drainage Easement
My house backs up to a drainage easement (ditch) that I have to maintain. It is approximately 150' x 30' and filled with weeds. It floods back there about 2 or 3 times a year which brings lots of debris from up stream that I have to clean up before I can mow again. There is new construction going on around my area which turns into a rat/mouse issue as well. Also I have an erosion issue with that area. I am needing ideas of what to do with that area. I cant see it unless I open the gate to go back there. I don't want to have to mow it anymore. I was thinking of planting some ground cover but that would just attract rats and snakes to live in. I spoke with the town and they will pretty much let me do what I want accept change the flow of water. The hill faces east, so it gets the morning sun. My sprinklers do not water back there so it gets really dry during the hot Texas summer months.
Bottom line:
1. Erosion issue
2. Rodent issue
3. Flood issue
4. Low to no maintenance
5. As cheap as possible.
Thank you
In your situation, and only in your situation, I would plant willows.
Look up on the internet for willow trees that will grow in your zone.
You will get occasional rain, and it will really help with the flooding. BIG TIME. They soak water up like a sponge.
You don't have to maintain them at all.
As for the rodents, you could get a cat, sorry no answer for mice, I am scared to death of mice. Mice and snakes. Ugh!

We forget too soon that it was 28 years of Republican economic policy, especially the tax cuts that only enriched the already rich, that brought about this Great Recession. It has been Republican opposition that is destroying any sane attempt to address American health care. I am disappointed in Mr. Obama because he has failed to push a public option, which I see as the only way we can fix our health care problem. I also regret that he has not closed Guantanamo, as this has been nothing but a breeding ground for increasing the numbers of dedicated terrorists. We should simply hand the place back to Cuba, since we obtained it through a forced treaty with a dictator in the first place. It will not have any measurable impact on US national security if we were to do that.
Despite the worries that Mr. Obama has not kept his word on many changes, I still cannot vote for any Republican as they seem totally unaware that their tax cut policies will only make the US economy worse and could precipitate a full-blown Depression. Just as they did in the 1920s. Income distribution data in 2008 matches what it was in 1928! And, Wall Street is the same kind of gambling casino as it was in those days.
Be alarmed. Be very alarmed!
"Bigotry cannot explain, however, why Mr Obama's approval rating among white Americans has fallen since he took office, from roughly 60% to 40%."
The issue is not that people like the shopkeeper in Tennessee are disapproving; they were among the 40% disapproving prior to the election.
The issue is me like David Peel who may very well have approved at inaguration but no longer do. These are the men who will swing the election again. Not so much the Tea Partiers, but the quietly disgruntled middle.
The middle is what swings elections either way. The Republicans for years have preached & enacted policies that help their elite base those who have enough estate to pass on to worry about the estate tax, those who actually make significant money on capital gains and therefore were happy with the lowering.
The Democrats unfortunately swing to the other side. The work so hard to help the poorest, that they will make deals with the richest to do so, once again forsaking the middle.
Depending on who hurt them most last, that is how they'll vote.
Lexington is on the right track, but the trend is about to get worse: the President and Democratic leaders have declared their intention to pass a health care reform bill that Americans do not want. Knowingly and willingly violating the wishes of the electorate usually does not pay, but the sentence for this crime of abuse of power should be all three houses -- the House and Senate this November, and the White House in '12. Consider me 'newly angry'.
@cclusn: It was the framers of the Constitution, rather than Barack Obama, who put the Congress in charge of every major decision.
This article seems to sum up the sentiments of many voters in the South, with whom I have spoken. While most were open-minded about Mr. Obama and a majority hoped that he would prove successful, his fecklessness and tone-deaf regard for the fiscal and national security interests of our contry have been simply incredible.
He was pushed heavily by the media prior to the election. Once in office, he evinced no ability to do the job to which he had suddenly been elevated. Instead, he has turned over to an unpopular Democrat-controlled congress every major decision.
It is painful to watch Obama flame out. All the more so since his spectacular failure has such a devastating impact on the country.
"RACISM explains a lot of white opposition to Barack Obama, say some Democrats."
Some members of the Congressional Black Caucus have said the same about current (bipartisan) efforts to get NY. Gov. Paterson and House Rep. Charlie Rangel to step down. Any time a person of color is accused of malfeasance or encounters difficulty some quarters will accuse (white) society of racism. The race card has been overplayed and is losing it potency.
The Republicans will almost certainly gain seats, because that's what happens in midterms. Unfortunately for them, I suspect that anger with incumbents extends to them, too. If the tea party movement runs GOP primary challenges or third-party candidates in November, the Democrats may benefit mightily when the Republicans are forced to shift even farther right. On the other hand, if the Democrats don't do whatever is necessary to pass the bills Obama ran on, their base will stay home on election day; and that will result in a bloodbath, and deservedly so.

Finally, a commenter that gets it. Much respect. I also cannot help but to shake my head at the folks that do not realize that domestic spying opens our own leaders up to being controlled by way of blackmail.
Finally, a commenter that gets it. Much respect. I also cannot help but to shake my head at the folks that do not realize that domestic spying opens our own leaders up to being controlled by way of blackmail.
He turned over the hard drives to Greenwald, who is a US citizen.
You're the idiot for not being able to think far enough ahead about how domestic spying can corrupt the power structure. A former NSA analyst has said that he first saw the orders to tap all of the lines of Obama way back in 2004.
I've reported this comment. My sincere hope is that Buzzfeed will pass it along to the appropriate authorities.
I was in first grade. I remember them calling everyone into the library to watch Challenger blast off. We all saw it explode… live. It was eye opening and my first real exposure to tragedy. Something I will never forget. Having said that, I do not understand why these photos are anything different than millions of people watched live.
The IT thing seemed to apply for me no matter where I worked. Now that I am self-employed, I get out of being the IT guy for family and friends by saying "I'm a Mac guy" while stumbling around on their computer. Even though I know exactly how to fix it. They call me "one of them" and I reply with "one of those guys that never has trouble with their computer?"
They have a cell signal? Must not be Sprint customers.
Did you take the dick out of your mouth before typing that?
"Block" was always a bad term anyway because of the false sense of wellbeing it provided.
That just proves that gay marriage is good for society.
Bet you're too ignorant to spot the bias in your comment!
You've hit the nail on the head. It was come come comfortable, have fun… now its no different than going to a club. Hell, there isn't even an underground scene that I am aware of anymore… so it's really just morphed into clubbing in general. That's why there are now many House DJs that get $100k for spinning a few hours. What I find very interesting is the DJs who were nobodies back then but hung in there and are now somebody's. Most of the top DJs from back then have stopped spinning or only do very intimate gigs. Then there are those that I used to love but just cannot get into anymore… Plump DJs and Stanton Warriors are probably the best examples of this.
This is true. Great DJs were happy to get a couple grand… the very best (which were few) were getting $25k a night tops at top venues that then charged appropriately… now there are tons that command that. The $25k gigs happened two maybe three times a year, tops… and only in cities with a large scene. Most DJs were happy to spin for free, GL spots or just a couple of dollars.
Yes, we drove to London. On a magic K-carpet.
Yeah, when we were planning our trips, Michigan was always at the top of the list. Soooo much better than London, NYC, DC or Philly. /sarcasm
I sure don't missing having to get film developed. Or having to carry a chunky camera to even take photos.
You're either 20 or 60. Hard to tell which.
Ah, memories. It certainly isn't the same anymore… but I'm glad its not.
No, I googled it and it is supposed to be "meters," not "miles." Either a typo or author did not know that sqm is meters everywhere else but the US.
#24 is supposed to be 1,022 square meters, not miles.
Did you buy an island with your college money? ;)
#10 is pretty obvious, no? She tells you to follow a Twitter account with "Hole" in it.
#12 Wouldn't it make more sense to give a higher discount to employees that would benefit from a health boost? You'd think that with their food supposedly being so superior — and not of the junk food variety — they'd want such employees to eat more of their food to save on other corporate costs, such as health insurance. One way to ensure this is a higher discount.
If this isn't the sign of another tech bubble then I don't know what is.
#24 is George Zimmerman?
Exactly! Gayest city in America, followed by Wilton Manors, and neither are on the list?
So the two gayest cities in America, P-Town and Wilton Manors (Fort Lauderdale) don't even make the list? DuPont Circle stopped being gay a decade ago when we all sold our houses for top dollar to the breeders. Shittiest Buzzlist ever.
A Republican that voted for Obama the second time around because she supports equality. There is nothing wrong with socially liberal and fiscally conservative Republicans. That is pretty much just an Independent that "picked a side." I am much like her, but picked the "Democrat" side. I believe in a lot of the things Democrats believe in. I also believe in a lot of the things that Republicans believe in. That is what makes an Independent.
I hear Time Warner mentioned a lot.
I never hear anything good about Time Warner.
How many times is the House going to keep doing this? They always drag it out to the deadline and then pretty much agree to the things they refused to accept. They're becoming the boy that cries wolf and eventually investors are going to pull their money out of the US.
You obviously have no idea what immigration reform is.
Did you do it at work, in an airport? A place that you were very aware of being secured with heightened security?
This is just proof that he was in the middle more than anything else. For instance, he wasn't against welfare, he just thought that it should be a safety net and not something people should get for life. I'd say most Americans agree with that.

While the current use of some mind-altering substances alleviates current level of depression, it facilitates future depression. Our analysis incorporates this intertemporal tradeoff and shows that the stationary status of a consistently overly ambitious sophisticated user is improved by impatience, and that this improvement is amplified by the ratio of the instantaneous depression-relief effect to the status-degradation effect of the mind-altering substance. The analysis also shows that the existence of a supportive personal community leads to permanent cyclical use of mind-altering substances.

X-ray of the Smithsonian's two-headed shark and other specimens

Yesterday, seventy people were injured by carnivorous fish while bathing in the aptly named Parana River in Rosario, Argentina. The fish were likely Pygocentrus palometa, a kind of piranha. (BBC News, thanks Bob Pescovitz!)
The likely source of a strange hum that has been disturbing residents of Hythe, near Southampton, England, has been identified: horny fish. The Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS) investigated the low-frequency noise and think it may be the sound of male midshipman fish eager to mate in a nearby estuary. "It's not beyond the realms of possibility," SAMS scientist Ben Wilson told The Telegraph. "There are certainly 'sonic fish' in the north Atlantic and the approaches to the English Channel."
Jasmine Santana of the Catalina Island Marine Institute was snorkeling off the coast about 20 miles southwest of L.A. when she spotted an 18-foot-long oarfish. It was dead. From the AP:
"We've never seen a fish this big," said Mark Waddington, senior captain of the Tole Mour, CIMI's sail training ship. "The last oarfish we saw was three feet long.""18-foot-long sea creature found off Calif. coast"
Because oarfish dive more than 3,000 feet deep, sightings of the creatures are rare and they are largely unstudied, according to CIMI…
The carcass was on display Tuesday for 5th, 6th, and 7th grade students studying at CIMI. It will be buried in the sand until it decomposes and then its skeleton will be reconstituted for display, Waddington said.
Icelandic news outlets are reporting that an Icelandic whaling company, Hvalur hf, "caught its first fin whale yesterday evening," after sailing out yesterday with two boats, both due back in port today.

This is not a Photoshop job. This is the very real toothy smile of sheepshead fish. It lives in North America, writes Becky Crew at the Running Ponies blog. And, like humans, it has both incisors and molars — perfect for masticating an omnivorous diet. Apparently, they also taste good, which should be some consolation. Worse comes to worse, we can always eat them.
"The earliest sawfishes likely arose in the shallow Tethys Sea, that ocean surrounded by the ancient continents of Godwanda and Laurasia, during the Cretaceous period at least 60 million years ago," writes Dr. M. at Deep Sea News.
These "sole survivors of an ancient bloodline" now number only seven species which roam the muddy bottoms of coastal areas, bays and estuaries.
All sawfishes can move easily between fresh and saltwater and often venture deep upstream into rivers. The sawfish lifestyle puts this both their size and saw near humans. All seven species are considered critically endangered by the IUCN. As much as we have impacted them, sawfish have also greatly influenced our culture.
And now, they're one of the most threatened species on our planet. Thanks, humans!

Maybe somebody who speaks German can explain why this poor goldfish is being tortured. It's certainly interesting to watch the water in its tank float and blob around — while the fish struggles to follow. But I'm really unclear on the point of this particular experiment.

Dolphin carcasses are displayed by conservationists and environmental police officers at San Jose beach, 40kms north of Chiclayo, Peru, on April 6, 2012. The cause of death of over 800 dolphins in the last four months on the shores of Piura and Lambayeque are still being researched, Gabriel Quijandria, Deputy Environment Minister said on April 20, 2012. More about the ongoing investigation into the possible cause of these mass die-offs: CBS News, MSNBC, AFP, DPA, CNN, (REUTERS/Heinze Plenge)
"Avaritia" is a new mixed-media assemblage from Jud Turner: "The name is taken from the Latin term for 'greed' and the bait this mechanized angler fish is using is a coin from 1799. Heightening my enjoyment of the subject (greed) it's a commission for a German financier!"
The Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History has a new exhibit up dedicated to x-ray portraiture of fish. All the shots were taken by Sandra Raredon, a museum specialist in the Division of Fishes (which is kind of a wonderful title, yes?)
I dig this because, on verbal description, this sounds rather dull. X-rays of fishes. Great. But when you actually see the images you remember two very important facts: First, fishes have tons of little, teeny bones packed into a relatively small body; Second, fishes come in a wide variety of frequently crazy shapes. That all adds up to fish x-rays being way more interesting than you might initially guess.
Take the scorpionfish. In real life, this family tends to look a bit like a bunch of Muppet trolls—runaway cast members from "Labyrinth" or something. In x-ray, you can see past the wild colors and stubbly, camouflage skin to spot the spines these fish use for delivering a numbing, toxic poison.
Check out all the fish x-rays at the Encyclopedia of Life.
This is a great find by Not Exactly Rocket Science's Ed Yong. A tourist and a couple of researchers from the California Academy of Sciences have documented an instance of Pacific-dwelling jawfish hiding from predators by blending into the stripes of well-known camouflage guru, the mimic octopus.
This relationship is probably a rare occurrence. The black-marble jawfish is found throughout the Pacific from Japan to Australia, while the mimic octopus only hangs around Indonesia and Malaysia. For most of its range, the jawfish has no octopuses to hide against. Instead, Ross and Rocha think that this particular fish is engaging in "opportunistic mimicry", taking advantage of a rare chance to share in an octopus's protection.
Thanks, Atvaark!
Neat post about an experimental plastic substitute made from fish scales over at Brian Lam's ocean-themed blog Scuttlefish. So far art student Erik de Laurens "has made not only goggles, but eye-glass frames, drinking cups, and a wooden table with a fish scale inlay" from fish scales.

Week 1: Foster propels Texans
Arian Foster
Running back, Houston Texans
The Texans might finally have a legitimate featured back. The unheralded Foster rushed for a team-record 231 yards and scored three second-half touchdowns to help power Houston to a 34-24 victory over Indianapolis. Foster, a second-year player who spent most of last season on the Texans' practice squad, had a 1-yard TD run in the third quarter and fourth-quarter scores of 25 and 8 yards. He had the NFL's second-best opening weekend performance since 1933, topped only by O.J. Simpson's 250 in 1973 for the Buffalo Bills against New England.
Chris Johnson
Running back, Tennessee Titans
Johnson picked up right where he left off last season, rushing for 142 yards and two TDs in Tennessee's 38-13 romp of Oakland. Johnson, the NFL's Offensive Player of the Year in 2009, extended his streak to 12 consecutive 100-yard games to break a tie with Marcus Allen. He trails only Barry Sanders, who had an NFL-best streak of 14 such games.
Hakeem Nicks
Wide receiver, New York Giants
Nicks began his sophomore season with a bang. The 2009 first-round pick caught three TD passes from Eli Manning, all in the left corner of the end zone, as the Giants opened their new stadium with a 31-18 victory over Carolina. Nicks' 5-yard TD grab in the third quarter gave New York some breathing room with an eight-point lead. Nicks also had scoring catches of 26 and 19 yards.
Matt Forte
Running back, Chicago Bears
Forte is the Bears' best running back. In Week 1 he was their go-to receiver as well. Forte caught seven passes, including two TDs, for 151 yards to help Chicago edge the Lions, 19-14. Forte's 28-yard TD reception gave the Bears the lead for good with 1:32 left. Forte also had 50 rushing yards on 17 carries.
Tom Brady
Quarterback, New England Patriots
Brady ended an eventful week (car accident, new contract) by lighting up the Bengals' vaunted defense. The veteran quarterback threw for 258 yards with three TDs and no interceptions, guiding New England to a 38-24 victory. Two of Brady's TD tosses went to Wes Welker, who returned to action less than eight months after a serious knee surgery.
Dolphins' defense
Led by prized free-agent addition Karlos Dansby, the Dolphins turned in a dominant defensive effort in a 15-10 victory over Buffalo. Dansby had a sack and eight tackles as Miami held the Bills to 166 total yards.
C.J. Spiller
Running back, Buffalo Bills
Spiller was drafted to spark the Bills' offense, but it didn't happen in Week 1. The rookie first-round pick gained only 7 yards on six carries in Buffalo's loss to the Dolphins. The Bills had only 50 rushing yards overall.
Jason Campbell
Quarterback, Oakland Raiders
Campbell's regular-season debut as the Raiders' starting quarterback was mostly forgettable. Campbell threw one interception, fumbled twice (losing one) and was sacked four times in Oakland's loss at Tennessee. Campbell finished with 180 passing yards and a 69.7 QB rating.
Jake Delhomme
Quarterback, Cleveland Browns
His numbers weren't terrible (20-of-37, 227 yards), but one terrible throw changed the complexion of the Cleveland-Tampa Bay matchup. With the Browns leading 14-3 late in the second quarter, Delhomme threw an ill-advised, sidearm pass that Ronde Barber intercepted and returned 65 yards to Browns' 3-yard line. Bucs QB Josh Freeman threw a TD pass on the next play, and the Browns weren't the same after that, ultimately losing 17-14.
49ers' running game
49ers QB Alex Smith is at his best when he's supported by a strong running game. Well, he certainly didn't get that in Week 1. The 49ers rushed for only 49 yards on 19 carries (2.6 average) in their 31-6 loss at Seattle. Workhorse Frank Gore was held to 38 yards on 17 carries.

All you need is glove
Everything you ever wanted to know about batting gloves, and the players who use them. As for those who don't -- haven't we heard enough?
Updated: April 27, 2006, 12:09 PM ETBy Paul Lukas | Special to Page 2
As we all know by now, it's hard to compare sluggers from different eras, because modern guys like Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa have benefitted from, shall we say, a bit of extra assistance that wasn't available to old-timers like Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron, Willie Mays and Roger Maris.
No, not that kind of assistance. Look closely at those photos and you'll see that Uni Watch is referring to one of the game's most overlooked and underrated developments: the advent of the batting ...

Trooper answers your trailer, license questions
Question: I have been seeing many tractor trailer rigs where, under the trailer, there is a skirt that I am assuming is for less drag. I have also seen maybe a half a dozen trailers that have an extension off the back of the trailer that I believe is also for increased aerodynamics.
Are these extensions allowed even if they cause the overall length of the tractor trailer rig to exceed the state maximum length?

What is that smell?
My sister had a smell coming from what she thought was her dishwasher. Eventually, after removing a piece of drywall, she realized it was the pipes in the wall behind the dishwasher. Below this wall is her laundry room. Does anyone know why these pipes would be smelly? And how to get rid of it?
A dishwasher setup can be extremely nasty. If you have a small leak, perhaps from an aged coupling or clamp, or from one of those ungodly cheap corrugated drain lines, it could build and build for a long time.
There's no way a pipe can be smelly unless something is growing on it or dripping down it. What are these pipes? Water supply? Electrical conduit? Waste? Plumbing vent? Dryer vent? Were these smelly pipes examined while the dishwasher was running a cycle, or the clothes washer?
A pipe won't smell bad by itself. The solution is at least one step further away than the stinky pipe. Is there mildew inside the wall? Does she have a dead critter?

TORONTO -- Canuc Resources is continuing to expand its activities in Texas. A 15% working interest was recently acquired in a 14,574 acres lease located in Shackleford county, north central Texas. The land package, known as the Walker Buckler ranch, was extensively drilled 60 years ago targeting shallow, oil bearing formations. A recent seismic survey over the area has indicated the presence of hydrocarbons at depths greater than 3,000 ft.
The first hole completed on this lease in September was drilled to a depth of 4,552 ft and intersected 2 potential horizons know as the Caddo limestone and the Marble Falls conglomerate.Following completion of the well, open flow testing showed the well to be capable of producing 500 Mcfd of natural gas however in order to preserve reservoir pressure, production commenced in October at a rate of 250 Mcfd.
A second well on this lease will be started in the next two weeks. It is approximately a five mile step out to the north from the first well and is in an area which is more oil prone. The Walker Buckler Ranch is a substantial land package which, based on the industry standard spacing of wells every 40 acres, allows for the drilling of a considerable number of additional wells. As with the Company's other projects in Texas, natural gas transmission lines are present on the property.With the addition of the Walker Buckler lease, Canuc is now participating at various levels in 16,074 acres of leased land in north central Texas.
At present, the company has 4 wells producing positive cash flow with 2 to 3 additional wells scheduled to be drilled in the next 3 to 4 months including 1 to 2 additional wells on the 1,000-acre Thompson lease located in Stephens county. The first Thompson well, which commenced production in January 2012,continues to produce at approximately 500,000 Cfpd with consistent pressure, suggestive of a substantial reserve. The company's intention is to participate in additional wells as more land leases are acquired in the immediate vicinity.
"The company's oil and gas business is beginning to generate a positive cash flow and indications are that with our significant land package in central north central Texas, this will continue to increase as more development takes place in 2013" said Gary Lohman, President & CEO of Canuc Resources.
