The Graveyard Boulevard
The Graveyard Boulevard is a rock 'n' roll band from North Carolina that blends elements of metal and punk with dark comedy and things that go bump in the night. The band has refined a music style of catchy tunes without compromising an aggressive attitude
Charlotte, North Carolina dirty garage/punk/rock quartet featuring members of Red Limo, Sex Tapes, Carrion Bomb, Collective Extinction, Hungry Ghost, Bombaye, Mad Brother Ward And The Dividers, La Chocha Loca, etc...
Cemetery Thieves
We are a blue collar lower middle class punk rock band started in 2005 by Jonny Dick. We come from many other bands throughout the years such as17Dead, No More Excuses (NME), Pure Hate, Fat Tortoise Butcher, 134 and The Vivians, just to name a few, so we've been around.
Jack Derringer and the Smokin Guns
Jack Derringer & The Smokin' Gunz got its start in the Philadelphia area when Laura Lithium, trying to make her mark on the DJ world, asked Jack Derringer to record and produce a one-off cover of "Folsom Prison Blues" for an event. It took off unexpectedly and Jack and Laura decided to make a go of it as a band. Long time friend Gus was added on lead guitar, bringing with him years of experience and insanity. Drummer Buzz Ithier came on board a couple of months later, a versatile player who breathed some much needed energy into the band. The four combine their love of punk, rock, and a touch of blues to create music that represents the best of all three genres. Their favorite past times are robbing banks, drinking and blowing things up. Full length album coming soon.
After a recent move to Charlotte, Jack and Laura are reforming with new Smokin' Gunz. Chris Fox is the new lead guitarist. The search for a new drummer continues.

We always have a pair of barn swallows nesting at our house. They sun themselves on our front fence every day and I've had a good time catching them in their morning rituals of stretching and preening.
I am a mostly self-taught artist residing in a small town in SW Kansas. My husband and I reside with three very furry cats named CC, Sas and Gizzy. I do a variety of subjects mainly with domestic animals and wildlife. Animals captured my heart when I was a child. I experiment with different mediums, but pastels have become my passion. I find happiness from the creation of my works, but the end result of seeing people view the completed piece is the best! Young or old, people like to be uplifted with positive and colorful pieces. It makes my life brighter when I see smiles light up their faces. Tracy L. Teeter http://www.TracyLTeeter.com http://www.Zazzle.com/TracyLTeeter* All images by Tracy L Teeter copyrighted.

Beautiful Paper Beads

We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
These Beautiful Paper Beads are a great way to use up old magazines. With this easy to follow tutorial, making paper beads is a piece of cake! Use them on a necklace, earrings, or bracelets.
- A colorful magazine paper
- Glue
- Gauze wire or any strong string
- Tooth pick
- Paper cutter or scissors
- Vanish (nail or wood vanish)
- Colorful small plastic beads
- Stoppers
- Tear out a colorful page from an old magazine.
- Cut a long triangle.
- Flip the triangle so the wrong side is facing up.
- Roll up the triangle starting with the larger part,make sure the whole is big enough to fit your string. Put glue on about one inch at the small end.
- Repeat until you accumulate the number of paper beads you would like.
- Now take your string and cut it in the size you want.
- Knot a clasp at the end of your string.
- Thread your beads onto your necklace, leaving three inches at the end.
- Add clasp at the end.
- At this stage, with your beads stringed, you prepare them for vanishing.
- Pour some vanish into a container and hold your stringed beads from the tip of the string as you mix them into the vanish.
- Then hang them on a wire or rope for an hour. Repeat the process at least 5 times so that the whole bead Is covered in vanish. Because vanish will make them stick together,its important to always keep them from clasping together as they are drying.
- When you are sure they are dry,unstring them.
- Armed with a fresh string and stoppers (these are for joining the two strings), tie a knot in the string and ensure that it is firm. Do this at the other end too.
- You can make many different designs using colored paper. Each bead is beautiful and unique,all these lead to very attractive jewelery!
- You can use small plastic beads in between the paper beads to give them a unique look!

I am wanting to know the pattern or deminsions of the triangle you cut. How do you get the shape of the bead to look like a toy top? Meaning so wide at the equator and narrow at the poles? They are so unique compared to the other paper beads that I have made. Please share the deminsions. Thank you Blessings... ..

My mom made tons of these years ago and strung them using some extra beads and "pearls" every once in a while. She made probably 40 or so of these strings (used fishing line), about 4 feet long, and then hung them from a dowel in a door way for a beaded curtain. It was beautiful!!! And my cat loved playing with the ends.

I like this process of making beads...making them from old magazines as I have lots of magazines and can't seem to part with them. The directions say to cut triangles but I see it as strips...long narrow rectangles. all in all ...the beads are beautiful, :-)
djr121682 8255532
Jun 06, 2013
The directions are good, as far as the process, but there are some glaring spelling and grammatical errors in it! I once had a beadmaker that worked great for rolling the beads; unfortunately, it is no longer made and worked so much better than rolling them on a toothpick or even on a "modern" bead roller.

I think that you mean to use 'varnish' not 'vanish' for this craft idea. I don't think that you are trying to make this project disappear.

Cumbrian killer's jail term cut because he was protecting his family
Last updated at 12:08, Thursday, 15 November 2012
A man who stabbed an acquaintance to death during a family feud over a hat in a Carlisle pub has had his jail term cut on appeal by top judges.
Desmond James Young Snr, 42, inflicted a single fatal stab wound on neighbour Joseph Howard, of Osborne Avenue, off Wigton Road, after ill-feeling between their two families exploded into violence in January last year.
Young, of Balfour Road, Raffles, pleaded guilty to manslaughter and, in June at Preston Crown Court, was sentenced to indefinite imprisonment for public protection (IPP), which is almost identical to a life term.
He was ordered to serve at least eight-and-a-half years before he can even apply for parole.
Lord Justice Treacy, Mr Justice King and Judge Alistair McCreath, sitting at London's Criminal Appeal Court, cut a year-and-a-half off that minimum sentence after hearing that Young had been trying to protect his family and had been threatened with death by his victim.
Mr Howard, 34, was stabbed in the chest with a kitchen knife outside Young's home. Young, a man with previous convictions for violence, then went on the run, fleeing with the help of his son before being arrested in Scotland.
Lord Justice Treacy told the court that Mr Howard and his son had turned up at Young's home looking for a fight on January 16 last year.
Young inflicted a single deep stab wound to his victim's abdomen, believing that Mr Howard was armed and was about to enter his property, where his three children were sheltering, the court heard.
Allowing his appeal against sentence, the judge said: "There was no intention to kill or cause really serious harm.
"The case is to be viewed in the context of an intention of keeping the victim away from himself and his children, and it was the victim himself who brought the confrontation to this appellant's house.
"The known reputation of the victim and the fact that specific threats to kill had been issued by the victim outside his house (led to) his honest belief – with some justification – that the victim had come to the scene armed.
"The sentence was simply too long and didn't pay sufficient regard to the full circumstances or particular background of this offence. The appropriate minimum term is one of seven years," the judge concluded.
A challenge to the open-ended nature of Young's sentence failed.
Young senior always maintained he had not intended to kill Mr Howard.
In June, the court was told that on the Sunday before the stabbing Young senior had been socialising in The Jovial Sailor on Port Road when a man called Thomas Reynolds entered.
They knew each other, the court heard, and Young senior took the hat that Mr Reynolds was wearing. Mr Reynolds asked for it back but Young senior refused to return it.
There was "a scuffle" that led to Young senior falling to the floor. Mr Reynolds left – but Young senior was "furious at the slight to him".
Some days later – on January 14 – Young senior, accompanied by someone else, pulled up by Mr Reynolds on Newtown Road, leaving him in no doubt that he was at risk of being attacked.
On the day of the stabbing Levi Howard drove along Balfour Road and there was then a confrontation between himself and Young junior.
Young senior came into the street and challenged Levi and his family members to a fight. Levi Howard went home and collected Mr Howard.
Back on Balfour Road, Levi and Mr Howard walked towards the house and "challenged the men who were inside".
The court was told that neither Levi nor his brother Downie were armed.
Desmond senior and Mr Howard came together on the pavement. He stabbed him in the chest.

"If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal." 1 Corinthians 13:1
Earlier, we began a "Prayer for Marriage." Beloved, whether you're newlyweds just beginning to travel the road of life together or if you've been married for many years, learning to talk to your spouse can enrich your life and deepen the bonds of your marriage. God is the master communicator, and we can come to Him to be instructed and taught in the art of communicating effectively with the one He has given us. Let's continue this prayer:
Father, whenever we communicate, help us to uphold the priority of our marriage, permitting no other relationship to weaken ours. May the word "divorce" never be formed on our tongue, never pronounced with our lips. May it never be considered as a viable option — for it strikes terror in the heart, fear and anger in the mind, and anxiety to our souls. And it grieves Your holy heart.
May we always, in all our conversations, uphold the oneness of our marriage, understanding that what affects one always affects the other.
May we allow open and honest communication, encourage vulnerability and authenticity. May we never be guilty of breaking each other's spirit. Rather, may we affirm and strengthen one another so that together we can endure any weakness, any failure and not lose hope.
Father, help us to sharpen our communication skills. Teach us to communicate with our eyes — to convey our delight in the other's presence, to say, "I love you," to let our loved one know even in a crowded room, "You're special to me." Remind us to give each other the gift of our full attention when we talk.
Teach us to respond to what is said so that our mate knows he or she is being heard. Help us to keep a confidence, to build a wall of trust so that we are free to share all that is in our hearts. And as we listen, Lord, help us to avoid giving quick or pat answers. Help us to listen patiently. Remind us that our loved one does not always want advice. Sometimes we just want to be heard; to say it, and to get it off our chest.
Father, may we feel the freedom to open up and share our fears. Sometimes it is so difficult to admit weakness or fear, but we need to be able to talk to someone — and of all people, it should be our spouse. May we also know that we don't always have to dispel each other's fear — nor should we think we must have the cure. May we just learn to listen...listen and pray.
Father, we all need to have that sense of significance, of worth, of security, so teach us to continually look for ways, for words in private and in public, to build our loved one's self-esteem. When one of us shares with the other, may we learn not to attack each other verbally. May the goal of all our conversations be for the building up of one another, the healing of one another, and the encouragement of one another so our loved one will want to talk, to communicate. May our words never be demeaning or destructive.
And finally, Father, when our tempers flare, may we make it a practice not to lay our heads on our pillows and close our eyes until we have resolved our anger. You tell us very clearly, "Be angry, and yet do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and do not give the devil an opportunity."
As we look at the one lying on the pillow beside us, may we remember that this is the one to whom we made our vows to love in sickness and in heath, for richer or poorer, for better or worse until death do us part.
Help us realize, Father, that a marriage like the one we prayed for is a marriage that speaks to all the world of the power and indestructible joy of living in obedience to the Word of God. A marriage that demonstrates to the world that with You it is possible to have a marriage without regrets; a marriage that gives others a snapshot of the marriage of the Lamb and the heavenly home You have prepared for us.
Beloved, our prayer for you is that your marriage will become stronger every day as you learn to have effective, loving communication. There may be people out there who just think, "You know, if I have to, I'll endure this marriage." We don't want you to endure your marriage; we want you to enjoy your marriage! God wants your marriage to be sacred, joyful and exciting. Discover how to establish and maintain the kind of marriage God intends for you to have with our 40-Minute Study titled "Building a Marriage that Really Works." For those already familiar with Precept studies, we also have a Precept upon Precept course titled "Marriage Without Regrets." Visit us online to order either of these resources. We want to help change your marriage from "I've got to survive," to "I'm enjoying this marriage," as you learn God's precepts for life.

Beloved, family was on God's heart from the beginning. When He sent His son to earth, he intentionally put Him in a family. Although He was the Son of God, God saw to it that His Son was raised with a mother, father, and siblings in an ordinary family.
I'll never forget his face—the gravity of words haltingly spoken from one so young. He was just a child, yet shouldering the blame of being unaccepted, unwanted, rejected by both his birth parents and numerous foster parents who kept sending him back. "It was my fault they didn't want me. I guess I just didn't know how to be good."
Beloved, we've talked about two kinds of love: Storge, meaning natural affection, and Eros—erotic love. Both of these are based on our own self interests. But today we'll look at two more words for love; one that describes the love of friends and another that has its origins in God Himself! Remember, love is a choice! How will you choose to love?
It was late. She was in bed, reading, and waiting for him to come home. When he walked into the room she looked up and smiled. She opened her mouth to say something, but he walked past her without a word.
O Beloved, do you know that what concerns you is of the utmost concern to God? If you belong to the Lord Jesus Christ, every need, every trial, every temptation that touches you, touches God, because you are part of His Son. You are bone of His bone, flesh of His flesh. You belong to Jesus. He is your Savior, your Lord, your Head, your Elder Brother—a joint-heir with you.
"Resurrection" is a 5-program inductive study of God's Word that focuses on Christ's resurrection as the ultimate source of peace in a peace-less world. No matter your gender or age, The Prince of Peace has secured peace for you through His death for your sins and His resurrection for your justification before God.

As the nights are beginning to draw ever shorter and colder here in the UK I was thinking of upping sticks and moving to Barcelona to train for some of the Winter.
This year was my first full season of racing in the UK, I managed to go from 4th to 1st Cat in one season which I'm quite pleased about. I'm looking to do some big races next year, and so I want to be able to train hard over winter to be stronger for next year. So I thought to myself how I could do this - move to warmer climates!
I was wondering a few things;
1. Are there many groups that I can train and ride with? I'd like to do some long hilly rides (100 miles/ 160km) as well as short intense efforts (1-2 hours 35kph average, ie chain gang).
2. What is it like for racing in the area?
3. Is there a BCF equivalent?
4. Where can I get a cheap place to stay?
5. Is it possible to get some part time work (preferably within cycling but not essential) in order to buy food and rent etc.
6. Are there many teams out there, possibly where I could get sponsored?
Any information whatsoever on any of these questions will be much appreciated,
Stu :-).

Phone rings, DSL works, but no dial tone
My landline is doing something odd. The DSL works just fine and the filters are installed correctly, but I have no dial tone. The phone will ring and caller ID works, but when I pick up there's nothing. When I hang up it continues to ring. This is happening on all the jacks. I have tried unplugging everything for a while and it didn't change anything. We moved into this place recently and I have no idea where the NID is. There is one in the basement that is not in use anymore, but I can't find the new one. I spoke to verizon and they say the problem is inside wiring. When I explained what was happening they said it sounded like hardware trouble. I bought another phone and the problem persists. Any thoughts, ideas, or suggestions? If we had a problem with the wiring would the DSL still work? Any suggestions are appreciated! Thanks!
I wouldn't think one bad filter would account for no dial tone at the other jacks in the house. That being said, I am under the impression that Verizon tested your line remotely and has not actually dispatched a technician to your home.
When the line is tested remotely it measures resistance and capacitance of both wires to each other and each wire individually to ground. This data is compared to the data stored from previous tests at that service address. This test probably ran clean all the way to your NID.
Inside the NID is usually a capacitor that simulates the capacitance normally found on one phone set. If the remote test detects that capacitor at the NID then Verizon will tell you that the problem is inside your house.
I have seen a DSL synch up with only one of the two wires connected (which would give you DSL and no dial tone).
I would also suspect that disconnected wire is grounded (which would allow your phone to ring; but since the disconnected wire doesn't allow the circuit to detect the lifting of your receiver it never answers the call and the phone will continue to ring when you place it back on hook).
My suggestion is that you have someone a little more tech-savvy tackle this problem for you. You would need to find the NID because I suspect the problem to be in the NID or very close to it.

Simply ideally located by the center location in Andräviertel the Mirabell Gardens. All attractions are within walking distance in a few minutes, but also to the train station with connections to the airport, trade fair / exhibition center, etc. It is not far. When apartment-house general parking (limited) available. Nearby are the Salzburg Schrannenmarkt, the pedestrianized zone, Mozart's residence, the University Mozarteum, the Mirabell Palace with the Mirabell Garden and the Capuchin mountain.
In general, the Andräviertel with its boulevards, shops and restaurants, apartment buildings of the century is the classic, central residential area of Salzburg. Closer to downtown you can not live. Accordingly city is also the shopping, leisure and cultural activities. Tip: every Thursday, the Salzburger and their guests gather at Schrannenplatz, a colorful market in front of St.

This apartment was in a great location and was very relaxing and comfortable. We stayed in December 2013 to visit Christmas Markets which were a very easy walk away. I would love to stay here in the Spring to take advantage of the nice balcony/patio. Like the little slippers that we wore while in the apartment. I would give this apartment a 9 out of 10.
The apartment is very well located close to the old town. Our family of five fitted comfortably. I have left of one star because of the difficulty with car parking ( unless you are lucky enough to get a park behind the apartment block) and it was a bit noisy being on the first floor. Also, we didn't have any information on local supermarkets etc so spent a bit of time walking in circles. These things are not serious though and I would recommend it to anyone (we have 3 children, but it can also fit 4, so long as they are happy sharing a room). The kids particularly loved the funky shower/tap touches!
Absolutely splendid accommodation in Salzburg. Excellent space and comfort. Highest possible standard of appointments and a total joy to be there. Wish it was ours. Handy to public transport and not far from the charming Old Town and it's features. Highest recommendation.

Loved our stay in Salzburg. This apartment was great - good location (only a short walk from Old town), well equipped, clean and a nice size. Bathroom good, kitchen great with lounge room providing nice relaxing room.
We will be coming back there again in the future.
Car parking can be an issue. Try and get one of the limited places inside the apartment complex which you can normally get in the morning and then walk around town.
We had a wonderful stay in the apartment Teresa in Salzburg. For less than an average hotel you can have a two bedroom apartment, living room, kitchen, and balcony. It was quite roomy and included a big screen TV for us to watch some Euro Cup soccer games. We found the location to be convenient, as it was just about a five minute walk to the river. The apartment was as described in the listing. Everything was clean and ready for our stay. All the necessary supplies were there including some coffee to start each day. All communication with the owners was handled quickly and with positive results. This is a great choice for anyone, but especially for a family of up to six people.
The city of Salzburg is one of the most beautiful spots on earth, which you can find in Europe, yes what a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1997 received international recognition by the appointment. The Salzach Salzburg divides into two halves, with impressive buildings are on both sides.
On the left is the Hohensalzburg Fortress, the Cathedral, the Residenz, St. Peter with the impressive cemetery, St. Francis Church, University Church and the Festival District's Grand Festival Hall and the House for Mozart and the Rock Riding School.
On the right side of the Salzach should Schloss Mirabell not miss the romantic Mirabell Gardens and St. Sebastian's Church with its beautiful cemetery. Just outside the town is the castle of Hellbrunn with its water fountains and animal garden.
Let yourself be enchanted by Salzburg in any season, whether the enjoyment of art for festival season, shopping, walking, coffee-visit ... it's worth it!

This was a pleasant chilled side dish to grilled BBQ'd bone-in chicken breast. The shoepeg corn is crisp, and the dressing has a nice tang to it. This was a welcome change from my typical mac or potato salad that I often serve with grilled chicken. Thanks, HotGrandma, for sharing your recipe.
Simple and refreshing recipe. I opted not to do the Jalopena peppers and replaced with chopped bacon pieces which was great. This is a keeper for me.
8 Ratings
Tasty and easy to make, well received by picnic guests. I use three cans of rinsed sweet corn as Shoepeg is very hard to find here, and the larger size can. Just 2 small cans leaves the corn swimming in runny dressing.
Tastes best after sitting for 4-5 hours.
Super easy - SUPER TASTY!!! I made this for my husband and I to try first. He tried to eat a huge helping before I even put in the fridge for a few hours. Perfect change for a cookout or cover dish. I followed the directions - no changes and will not make any.
Will def make again and again!!
Very refreshing. I will definitely make this again. Served it with the BBQ ribs.
Would probably add more corn since it was kind of "soupy." Great flavor, though!

RUN GASOLINE IN KEROSENE ATTORNEY United States Patent U.S. Cl. 166---252 20 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The thermostability of a micellar dispersion composed of hydrocarbon, aqueous medium, and surfactant can be shifted to higher temperature ranges by using a low molecular weight hydrocarbon as the hydrocarbon component of the dispersion. Such micellar dispersions are useful in a process for recovering oil from an oil-bearing subterranean formation having at least one production well and at least one injection well in fluid communication therewith, the process effected by determining the temperature of the formation, injecting into the formation a stabilizable mixture of micellar dispersion constituents comprised of hydrocarbon, surfactant, and aqueous medium, characterized in that the hydrocarbon has a sufficiently low molecular weight to stabilize the mixture as a micellar dispersion at the formation temperature, displacing the dispersion through the formation and recovering crude oil through the production well.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The prior art teaches that micellar dispersions are useful as miscible-type displacing agents to recover crude oil from subterranean formations. Gogarty et. al. in U.S. Patent No. 3,254,714 teaches that a microemulsion is useful in flooding subterranean formations to recover crude oil. Micellar dispersions, including microemulsions, are differentiated from emulsions in that the former are thermodynamically stable and are generally transparent whereas emulsions are not thermodynamically stable and are generally opaque. However, micellar dispersion may become an emulsion due to a large temperature change.
Reservoir temperatures tend to vary greatly due to the reservoir characteristics. For example, a reservoir with an active aquifer can have reasonably low temperatures at great depths. However, it is generally accepted within the petroleum industry that the normal subsurface temperature gradient is about 1 F. per 60 feet. Thus, at reservoir depths of about 4,000 feet, temperatures up to and above about 150 F. are possible. In order to effect an eflicient miscible-type flooding operation with a micellar dispersion at such temperatures, the dispersion is preferably designed to be thermally stable at the particular formation temperature. The term thermostability as used herein means thermodynamically stable, i.e. a system below or above the thermostability temperature range will exhibit two or more distinct layers or phases, indicating an unstable system or an emulsion.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Applicants have discovered that a micellar dispersion composed of hydrocarbon, Water, and surfactant can be designed to be thermally stable at the formation temperature by designing the molecular weight of the hydrocarbon within the dispersion to impart thermostability to the dispersion at the temperature of the formation.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The drawings illustrate the thermostability temperature range of micellar dispersion containing 55.9% hydrocar- 3,508,611 Patented Apr. 28, 1970 bon (amounts of kerosense and straight-run gasoline are indicated on horizontal axis of the drawings), 30.0% water, 10.6% sodium petroleum sulfonate having an average molecular weight of about 470 and being about 62 percent active sulfonate, 3.5% isopropyl alcohol, and 3% (FIGURE 2), 6% (FIGURE 1) and 9% (FIGURE 3) Na SO as indicated in the drawings. The average molecular Weights of the straight-run gasoline and kerosene are 95 and 175, respectively. FIGURES 1, 2, and 3 indicate that as the percent of straight-run gasoline is increased within the hydrocarbon component, the thermostability range of the micellar dispersion is shifted to higher temperatures.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The micellar dispersions useful in this invention are composed of hydrocarbon, aqueous medium, and surfactant sufficient to impart micellar dispersion characteristics to the dispersion. In addition, cosurfactant(s) and electrolyte(s) are optionally useful in the micellar dispersion. Examples of volume amounts include from about 5% to about 70% hydrocarbon, from about 20% to about aqueous medium, at least about 4% surfactant, from about 0.01% to about 20% or more of cosurfactant and from about 0.01% to about 5% or more, based on aqueous medium, of electrolyte.
The term micellar dispersion as used herein is meant to include micellar solutions, microemulsions, oleopathic hydro-micelles, transparent emulsions, fine emulsions, and micellar solution technology taught in C. G. Sumner, Claytons, The Theory of Emulsions and Their Technical Treatment, Fifth Edition, pp. 315-320 (1954). The examples of useful micellar solutions include those defined in U.S. Patent Nos. 3,254,714 to Gogarty et al.; 3,275,075 to Gogarty et al.; 3,301,325 to Gogarty et al.; and 3,307,- 628 to Sena. Additional examples of micellar dispersions are taught in U.S. Patent No. 3,348,611 to Reisberg. The micellar dispersion of this invention can be oil-external or water external.
Hydrocarbons useful in the micellar dispersions include crude oil (both sweet and sour) partially refined fractions of crude oil, and refined fractions thereof. Specific examples include side cuts from crude oil columns, overheads from crude columns, gas oils, kerosene, heavy naphthas, naphthas, straight-run gasoline, and liquefied petroleum gases. Refined hydrocarbons are also useful, e.g. paraflin compounds including propane, pentane, heptane, decane, dodecane, etc.; cycloparaffins including cyclohexane and substituted products of the cycloparaffins; aryl compounds including benzene, naphthalene, anthracene, etc. and alkylated products thereof such as toluene, etc. Preferably, the hydrocarbon is a lower molecular weight hydrocarbon and is one locally available. Also, the hydrocarbon should not impart a bubble point pressure to the micellar dispersion which is less than the pressure the dispersion is subjected to.
The aqueous medium can be soft, brackish, or a brine. Preferably, the water is soft, but it can contain small amounts of salts which are compatible with the ions within the subterranean formation being flooded.
Surfactants useful with the dispersions include nonionic, cationic, and anionic surfactants. Examples of such surfactants include sodium glyceryl monolaurate sulfate, dihexyl sodium succinate, hexadeeylnaphthalene sulfonate, diethyleneglycol sulfate, glycerol disulfoacetate monomyristate, p-toluidene sulfate laurate, p-chloroaniline sulfate laurate, sodium sulfato oleylethylanilide, triethanolamine myristate, N-methyltaurine olearnide, pentaerythritol monostearate, polyglycerol monolaurate, triethanolamine oleate, morpholine stearate, hexadecyl trimethylammonium chloride, ditetradecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride, n-dodecyl-diethyleneglycol sulfate, monobutylphenyl phenol sodium sulfate, and triethanolamine laurate or triethanolamine oleate. Other useful surfactants include Duponol WAQE (a 30% active sodium lauryl sulfate marketed by Du Pont Chemical Corporation, Wilmington, Del.), Energetic W'100 (a polyoxyethylene alkyl phenol-marketed by Armour Chemical Company, Chica go, 111.), Triton X-100 (an alkylphenoxy polyethoxy ethanol marketed by Rohm & Haas, Philadelphia, Pa.) and Arquad l250 (a 50% active dodecyl trimethyl ammoniurn' chloride marketed by Armour Chemical Company, Chicago, Ill.), and like materials.
Petroleum'sulfonates (i.e. surfactants) are also useful with the dispersion, they are also known as alkyl aryl naphthenic sulfonates. Such can be obtained by sulfonating at least a portion of a sulfonatable hydrocarbon (e.g. gas oils) and then neutralizing the mixture, e.g.
with NH OH, NaOH, etc. The sulfonate can contain, after extraction, e.g. 60100% active sulfonate. Unsulfonated hydrocarbon within the sulfonates is useful as the hydrocarbon within this invention. Examples of preferred surfactants are the sodium and ammonium petroleum sulfonates having an average molecular weight of from about 360 to about 520, and more preferably from about 420 to about 470. The sulfonate can be a mixture of low and high molecular weight sulfonates. Surfactants of like character are also useful.
The cosurfactants, also known as cosolubilizers or semipolar organic compounds, useful with this invention include alcohols, amino compounds, esters, aldehydes and ketones containing from 1 to about 20 or more carbon atoms and more preferably from about 3 to about 16 carbon atoms. The cosurfactant is preferably an alcohol, e.g. isopropanol, nand isobutanol, the amyl alcohols such as n-amyl alcohol, 1- and 2-hexanol, 1- and 2-octanol, decyl alcohols, alkaryl alcohols such as pnonyl phenol and alcoholic liquors such as fusel oil. Particularly useful alcohols include the primary butanols, primary pentanols and primary and secondary hexanols. Concentrations Within the range of from about 0.01% to about 20% or more by volume of cosurfactant are useful in the micellar dispersion and more preferably from about 0.1 to about 5.0%. Mixtures of two or more cosurfactants are useful.
Examples of electrolytes include inorganic bases, inorganic acids, inorganic salts, organic bases, organic acids, and organic salts which are strongly or weakly ionized. Preferably, the electrolytes are inorganic bases, inorganic acids, and inorganic salts, e.g. sodium hydroxide, sodium chloride, sodium sulfate, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and sodium nitrate. Examples of other useful electrolytes can be found in US. Patent No. 3,330,343. The type and concentration of electrolyte will depend on the aqueous medium, surfactant, cosurfactant, and hydrocarbon. Generally from about 0.1% to about 4% or more by weight of electrolyte is useful, percents based on aqueous medium. The electrolyte can be the salts within brackish or brine water.
The mobility of the oil-external micellar dispersion is desirably about equal to or less than the mobility of the formation fluids (i.e. combination of crude oil and interstitial water) ahead of the dispersion. Preferably, the micellar solution has a mobility favorable to protecting against viscous instability.
Size ofthe micellar dispersion slug useful with this invention is from about 1% to about 20% formation pore volume. Larger pore volumes are useful but such may be economically unattractive. More preferably, from about 2% to about formation pore volumes are useful and from about 3% to about 6% formation pore volumes give very efficient results.
As mentioned previously, the thermostability of the micellar dispersion is shifted to higher temperatures by incorporating alow molecular weight hydrocarbon within the micellar dispersion. Such a thermostability temperature range can be adjusted to meet the needs of the particular reservoir conditions by incorporating within the hydrocarbon component of the dispersion a percentage of a lower molecular Weight hydrocarbon to obtain the desired thermostability temperature'range. For example, a 50/50 mixture ratio, of kerosene to straight-run gasoline can be used as the hydrocarbon component within the micellar dispersion to give a thermostability range higher than one obtained using only the kerosene;
