MOSCOW -- Gazprom has to pay over $1.3 billion compensation to RWE, magazine Der Spiegel reported in an article preview.
RWE said it has been awarded compensation in a dispute over pricing mechanisms of long term gas supply deals, but didn't indicate how much. The company declined to comment on the report, while Gazprom couldn't be reached for comment.
The arbitration award ends years of discussions between the two companies on the matter.
Like many of its European peers, RWE's natural gas business has been suffering heavy losses as oil indexed, long-term procurement prices far exceed selling prices in an over supplied European wholesale market.
RWE's midstream gas business posted heavy losses as a result of these unfavorable supply contracts, but the company gradually agreed on new terms with its suppliers. The Gazprom contracts were the last remaining supplies that needed to be settled.

A couple of issues
The difficulty scale is schizophrenic, and it seems that the primary goal of the enemy AI is to eliminate my party. When the odds are in my favor this is no problem. When we get to 2-on-2 combat, I'm fighting almost alone. Add to that my buddy is quite nearly pants-on-head retarded and we have a major difficulty.
And, also, the updates you mention don't seem to be affecting my previously saved game. Only one re=spec, golems still using supression, audio's still out of sync, etc. Don't know if I'm buggy, but it might be your game.
Just wait for the NG admins to update it... Should just day a couple of days :D
- Krin
Some bugs
Great game, I noticed a few bugs.
When you complete the battle where you meet the first party member (the medic guy) it shows a little conversation and if you do a training battle after that battle it shows that conversation again.
All the tool tips tear when they pop up and you move the cursor.
Some tool tips dont show up straight away.
The spoken conversations dont stay in sync with the written parts of the converations when the game is running slowly.
Thats all i can think of for now. You've made a great game with awesome music. I love it.
I'm adding this game to my fav's list. Good job, really.
Great game
Great game there were a few things that could of been better... faster battleing and instead of just 1 point should get 2-3 for each cause this made game really timely to even be able to take on certin enemy and bosses.
Good game
This is a very good game but the teammate AI pissed me off so much.

That's retail's answer to everything....Just open new stores....who cares about anything else....I'm not short, I'd never go short a retail stock, but this short squeeze today makes no sense to me.
I don't know if Cruz is the right candidate to run, but Kelly's question was a typical, stupid liberal question.
I admit I'm concerned right now, not so much about the CEO selling shares, everyone does that, but rather the price action is indicative of a near term top.
My advice is don't bother....because technically it looks like $27-$30 could be in the cards, within a few weeks or less.....sorry.
There it is....no deal.....otherwise, why the secondary?
It looks like WLL is heading back down to around $35 for now. Yes, the news reports were apparently incorrect, misleading, or both. I sold my long position the other day at $41.27, but I didn't go short from there, because the stock is still a headline risk, both long and short. Having said that, with no substantive deal at all, including an asset sale, WLL could fall to around the $32 range. I can say this with conviction.....not always, but usually, the longer it takes for any deal to consummate, the less of a chance it will actually happen.
Good luck to all...
Matthew Monks and Bradley Olsen broke the news in their Bloomberg follow up story.
Suffer all night shorts, you're doomed.
Maybe he thinks the stock has peaked, and he wants to get his profit at the highs.
They did miss their revenue numbers....But this is the Dow, and then there's the Fed, and the chart was good, and yes it's all fixed and manipulated.
Does WLL sell cords, switches, and toys too? I thought I'd add my stupid post to match yours.
Hearing $48 now......
Just look no further than the bearish oil ETF, symbol DTO......now down over $6 and falling. The dollar is gettin killed, all good for oil related stocks. Tomorrow or Friday would be a great time to announce the deal.......
You'd think they just discovered a cure for all diseases......They make me sick.
take down other message boards? I can't enable the SPY board and many others.....
We're now hearing a conservative $47......
You may be correct Chuck.....FYI, usually when a stock spikes ahead of a big news announcement, it usually means someone with big money already knows the news.....
there's always that chance a higher bid can materialize. Keep in mind, according to reports there are at least 4 major oil companies interested in WLL.
I'm a premium client at my broker, and I pay a premium to see breaking news before others do.

Humorist's Ohio Home On National Register Of Historic Places
The suburban ranch-style home in Ohio where humor writer Erma Bombeck launched her nationally syndicated column has been added to the National Register of Historic Places.
The Columbus Public Service Department is proposing a way for residents to regain yard waste pick-up – for $1.90 per week.
A new trial date is set for the Columbus teen accused of killing his twin brother last January. WOSU reports the new trial is scheduled for August 10.
When cancer strikes a father or mother, a child might become frightened and confused. If the parent dies, it might take years for a child to recover from the loss. A program at Ohio State University's James Cancer Hospital has been helping children work through the process of understanding cancer, death and grief.

Tropicanna infected again...
Last year, i contacted the Tropicanna supplier and asked if they were aware that all the Tropicannas in my area were virused. I got a reply saying that they were aware and should have thrown the tubers out. They indicated that they were growing clean stock and next year (2010) they would be selling healthy stock. They went on to say ow they invested a lot of money to grow healthy, virus free plants in Isreal.
Well, it's 2010 and I saw last week that Rona had Tropicanna cannas listed in their flyer for $17.99 for a 17 cm pot. I went to one Rona and they were out of cannas. I was just at another and I saw about 10 pots of the sickest looking Troopicannas I have ever seen.
I looked at the rest of their cannas and they were virused too.
I sure hope that no one on the forum bought this canna from Rona. If you did, take it back.
I have restricted my buying of cannas - too many sick ones out their. Last year, I infected a few pots of Tropicanna and have thrown several out.
This year, careful screening, see a few infected cannas - and out they go. The majority of my cannas are virus free. I'm also staying on the aphids - who can spread the virus.
I'm keeping an watchful eye on them.
I have a few other people growing Tropicannas to keep a clean supply.
Too bad the company didn't live up to their word.
Thanks for the links.
Sounds like the virus isn't obvious at first, but soon(?) causes plant to manifest symptoms leading to collapse.
If I bought a questionable canna at HD, could I grow it in a pot for just this season? Would I know by summer's end if it was infected? Would it have any effect on my new cannas? I just ordered another canna from Karchesky Canna. Thanks!!
If you saw these Tropicanna - they look horrible. The problem is that some people do not know what a canna is suppose to look like.
These are definitely showing signs of a virus.
I know a company that contracted a grower for some healthy cannas, Australia.
I recently saw them and they are showing sickly streaks in their leaves. Such a shame.
The big box stores sell what they receive and do not question it.
I did see some good cannas at HD - they were a dwarf variety.

Larry Mac: What to expect at Daytona testing
JAN 06, 2014 11:00a ET
Well, we officially get back to the track this week with NASCAR testing at Daytona International Speedway. It pretty much will be same ol', same ol' when it comes to testing down there. Everyone will be on a different agenda.
For the most part, unless there is a Goodyear tire test down the road later in the month or the year, this is truly the test for the four restrictor-plate races this season at Daytona and Talladega. You simply aren't going to see a team burn a test at either of these tracks later this year.
The reason I say that is because what you learn at Daytona or Talladega is only relative to those four races and has nothing to do with the other 32 events this season.
Certainly, the focus this week in Daytona will be on Speed Weeks in February. That will encompass the Sprint Unlimited race, Daytona 500 qualifying, the qualifying races and then naturally the big daddy of them all -- the Daytona 500 on Sunday, Feb. 23, live on FOX.
Even though it is only four races a season at Daytona and Talladega, teams never cease to work on their restrictor-plate programs. When you look at the top four engine programs -- Roush/Yates for the Fords, Toyota Racing Development for the Toyotas and then Earnhardt-Childress Racing and Hendrick Motorsports for the Chevrolets -- they all have a designated group that does nothing but work on restrictor-plate engines all year long.
Everyone knows that in restrictor-plate racing that if you can find a 1- to 3-horsepower increase from the previous year, trust me, it'll show up on the charts. There haven't been any major rule changes in the off-season, so when they roll those cars off the truck on Thursday and take to the track, those teams are going to be looking for any gains from 2013.
There has been a slight change from the last time the teams were down in Daytona and that's because NASCAR has mandated a little bigger rear spoiler. We know it's going to slow the cars down, but it should be relative because it should slow every team down.
If you look at the top 10 or 11 organizations in our sport today, only three of them are going to Daytona for testing with the same driver/crew chief combo that they ended the 2013 season with. Those three organizations -- Hendrick Motorsports, Joe Gibbs Racing and Penske Motorsports -- are it. They have the same combos, while everyone else has had changes to their lineup.
So while it's pretty much business as usual this week in Daytona for testing, it does give all these new combinations a chance to get used to each other at the race track. They will work on their communication and of course, their chemistry with each other, which is so critical. This is a really great opportunity to get everyone's feet wet for the upcoming 2014 NASCAR Sprint Cup season.

I might've ruined one of my closest friendships. Should I make amends?

heart surgery for 77 years old-mitral valve stenosis and repair for it
I have a feeling that hospitals push surgery all the time. my grandma was diagnosed with a heart defect that she was born with and they recommended surgery for 40 years.she has mitral stenosis and she was fine and on meds and no major issue except once when she was in the hospital. however now that we revisited the subject, I asked her if she should get the surgery. she is 77. she is saying God forbid that old people have trouble recoviering from it and that she can die from a surgery when she can just live as long as she can naturally and the pills help her. we know that the pills only treat the symptoms not the underlymg cause. so from your experience and with your old beloved, how do they handle heart surgery after 75? did you have good or bad experience with such surgery? of course I will just respect her wish but I wonder what experience did you have with your beloved ones undergoing mitral stenosis surgery

Resources on Alan Moore's process
I couldn't find any information as to how Alan Moore goes about writing his comics (namely Watchmen, V for Vendetta, and From Hell). I found an excerpt from his Watchmen script which shows how incredibly detailed he is in describing each panel. I once read that on Watchmen, it was a back-and-forth between him and Dave Gibbons, where Gibbons starts off with roughly sketching out the panels, gets comments from Moore, gets greenlit, then proceeds to drawing the final version. Any more information on Moore's process? Any other scripts you know of and is his writing as detailed for all his projects as detailed (I know that From Hell has labyrinthine appendices that almost match the work itself in length for example)?

Soda water bottle, have a banana?
In the curious 1975 comedy Linda Lovelace For President, there's a scene in which, faced with the bankruptcy of her campaign, Lovelace starts inexplicably chanting the phrase "Soda water bottle, have a banana." This is picked up on by members of her marching band, and then becomes a series of calls and responses. The scene, completely safe for work, can be seen here. What on earth is this a reference to?
Has anyone heard of spontaneous remission for severe bouts of depression
I've struggled with depression for 30 years and have tried multiple medications/treatments, light therapy, Transcendental Meditation, etc. The last modality I had so much hope for was Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation; the treatments actually made my depression worse. Since we all know of cases where tumorous cancers have disappeared without explanation, I'm hoping someone has witnessed this occurring in a friend or loved one who's been diagnosed with clinical depression?

Silver Spoon Windchimes
kudzukweenMarch 29, 2008
Hi ya'll,posted this on garden junk,too. I went through a lot of drill bits!The stainless blade of the knife handle was hard to finally get a hole in the tip. Drilled holes in the handles of the spoons and the knife, hung a prism on the knife handle, used a fork with the tines twisted in different directions and attached the spoons to the 4 tines,and drilled a hole in the middle of the fork to hold the knife. I used beading wire and spacer beads to string the spoons and knife.
Here is a link that might be useful:

The 10 Best Sci-Fi Books That Should Be Box Office Blockbusters
August 1st, 2012, 06:01 PM #2
Well that article is a little out of date, because three of those are already in production (Ender's Game, Neuromancer and Snow Crash).

Books to Movies
I remember reading that book, didn't really care for the book so if they were to put that in a movie, would I see it? Probably would, maybe it would make me see the book in a different way. But for now, didn't really care for it.

There are mostly classic titles in this list, so it is incomplete without Tales of the Ketty Jay by Chris Wooding.
August 2nd, 2012, 06:12 AM #6
Its imagery and themes have been so cannibalized over the years, I don't know if it could reasonably be done, but Childhood's End belongs on the list.

Firstly I find it funny that the author of the linked article berates Hollywood for its lack of creativity, then goes on to list 4 books that have already been filmed.
For my money some better examples would be
Altered Carbon
The Scar
The Iron Council
Chasm City
The Lost Fleet Series
Thee Blue Ant Series by William Gibson
The Serrano Legacy books
Pushing Ice
The Heorot Books
August 4th, 2012, 07:22 AM #13
The problem is the a BLOCKBUSTER has to attract a lot of people who don't read science fiction. It probably has to attract a lot of people who don't read much of anything.
Hence we have so many comic book movies.

I second Coyote, that would make a great movie: SF but mostly without looking it, obvious parallels to the American revolution and continental exploration and expansion, lots of action, animals similar to our prehistoric past (and not wildly alien). If it did well, you have the rest of the series for new movies.

I applied online. The process took 4+ weeks – interviewed at DPL in January 2010.Interview Details
It took about two weeks after I first applied through a local job search site to be called regarding the position. At that time, I took part in a short phone interview. Basic, basic screening type questions and information about the position. From there, I was invited to take the customer service skills test.
The CSR test is one of the hardest pre-employment test I have ever taken. It was roughly two hours of computer assisted, real-time industry/company specific scenarios. There were three parts, and you had to pass the first part to even take the other sections. I am not one to ruffle easily but by the end of this test I thought I might break down and cry. There was so much information, and so little time! The third section was policy and math heavy, and I timed out of a question because I got hung up on the procedure. That being said, I did not feel at all confident that I was going to receive a call for an interview.
At the end of the test, I had been given a timeframe of response on the test results. When that timeframe expired, I wrongly assumed that I had been correct about not getting a call back. It actually took about two weeks to get a call for an interview.
At the time my interview was set up, I was informed that it would consist of two half-hour interviews. One with the supervisor & the other with a panel of other employees, most of whom turned out to be team leads. The face to face was the good old behavioral customer service type of interogation. I felt like I had a good rapport and I have certainly had worse interviews but as of this writing I am still unemployed.
I liked that I would be working in a modern, secured office that seemed to have a good culture. Everyone I met during the process was super nice and professional. However, I think that there could have been a better job on the front end of accurately describing the job. There were aspects of the position that were not revealed until the panel interviews, and to be honest, they might have changed my mind in the beginning about pursuing the CSR position. I don't think that if I had been on the phone interview for hours that I would come up with the questions that would have given me this information in the beginning.
After I had taken the test, I did question to myself whether or not the pay rate was really in line with job. I still do question it, but I suppose that it is one of those things where they will find the people who will work that hard for that amount.
At the very least, I am super prepared for my next interview based on my experience here.Interview Questions

Border Security:
Challenges in Implementing Border Technology

One of the primary missions of the new Department of Homeland Security (DHS) focuses on border control--preventing the illegal entry of people and goods into the United States. Part of this mission is controlling the passage of travelers through official ports of entry into the United States. Facilitating the flow of people while preventing the illegal entry of travelers requires an effective and efficient process that authenticates a traveler's identity. Generally, identifying travelers at the ports of entry is performed by inspecting their travel documents, such as passports and visas, and asking them questions. Technologies called biometrics can automate the identification of individual travelers by one or more of their distinct physiological characteristics. Biometrics have been suggested as a way of improving the nation's ability to determine whether travelers are admissible to the United States.
GAO found that biometric technologies are available today that can be used for border control. However, questions remain regarding the technical and operational effectiveness of biometric technologies in applications as large as border control. Before implementing any biometric border control system, a number of other issues would have to be considered, including the system's effect on existing border control procedures and people, the costs and benefits of the system, and the system's effect on privacy, convenience, and the economy. Furthermore, technology is only part of the solution. Effective security requires technology and people to work together to implement policies, processes, and procedures. At land border ports of entry, DHS faces several challenges including ensuring that the inspections process has sufficient integrity to enable inspectors to intercept those who should not enter our country, while still facilitating the entry of lawful travelers; ensuring that inspectors have the necessary technology, equipment, and training to do their job efficiently and effectively; and providing inspectors the access to necessary intelligence information.

I'm building my first AR...first of all, thanks to EVERYONE for all their input.
My question is, is there anything I while consider or any minor tweaking I may need to do if I'm going with a lower and an upper from different manufacturers? It's a BCM upper and a spikes lower. They're both 5.56.
I didn't think I'd have to worry about it, but I read something in another thread about maybe running into minor tweaks I'd have to do?
An I mislead or what?

About the only thing that you should run into is a slight difference in color between the upper and lower, it might bug you at first, but you don't even care after a while
There may also be a slight bit of wobble between the upper and lower, which again isn't that big of a deal, you can remedy that with a $3 accu-wedge. Don't worry about it, it isn't complicated, I doubt you'll have any issues.
You SHOULD be fine. These parts are made within a standard set of tolerances. But there is no way for us to know until you physically have the 2 pieces and put them together. Plus you have 2 very reputable brands going into it. That always helps

I am about to order/buy my upper, and the thought crossed my mind too. I was considering buying another manufactures upper... Rock River is really slow right now, so many orders... I guess, I could get something else, and eventually match an upper later, and then user the one I order for another build... I like that...

Friction Stir Welding (FSW) has gained much importance throughout the last years. Beside comprehensive experimental work that has been carried out, the simulation of the welding zone is of major interest. Due to the high strains observed within the welding zone, the Eulerian (CFD) approach seems to be the most promising for the prediction of flow around the FSW tool. However, the CFD ...

The legal reasoning that underpins the bill that seeks to scuttle collective bargaining for faculty unions in Ohio's public colleges came from the president of the state's association of universities, he said Tuesday.
Senate Republicans in Wisconsin find way to pass governor's plan to bar or limit most collective bargaining in public sector.
Faculty unions and the Los Rios and San Diego Community College Districts find labor harmony by basing contracts on shared revenue agreements.
Senior faculty at Vermont state college say they were told to step aside or junior faculty would have to be let go.
Governor's plan to force faculty to teach one more class every two years sparks more bitterness.
Three bills that are advancing in Florida's statehouse are pushing faculty union leaders to ramp up organizing efforts this semester to stave off the extinction of several chapters.
One of the bills would require a majority of faculty members to officially join unions -- and it would decertify the unions if they did not cross that threshold. At many campuses, a majority of faculty are not members, and signing up would require them to have 1 percent of their salaries deducted for union dues.
As Ohio's bill barring collective bargaining advances, a U.S. Senator calls it a "terrible mistake."
Higher education union leaders vow to fight on, despite crushing losses in states.
Following a vote not to renew his contract, Gary Rhoades is expected to leave position as general secretary.
Administrators and unions should work to restore "collective" to the notion of collective bargaining in higher education, conference participants say.

Just in time for the heat wave that is August in Austin, Blaze opened up for her second bloom cycle (that I know of). Only took a few years, but you get used to waiting with these plants :)
So difficult to get the colors on any red, but this one is orangy red with those distinctive dark gold sparkles.
The colors on the next few pics are pretty close to real life.
Funny, as the flowers get older they start to close up again and fall off almost completely closed.
The leaves, which are very distinctive, also start to close toward the end of the day. This is inflo #2.
It will be a few years before this tree is big enough to take cuttings, so I'm sorry I can't share it. And Rox, the scent is herbal/spicy but very faint. Thought you might ask ;)
Thank you, K. This is my favorite red, and the only other I've ever seen in person or pics that has the orangy overtone is JL Red-Orange, which I also have but hasn't bloomed yet. One day I'll hopefully compare them.
Rox, this is one of three big seedlings I bought from a gentleman who grew them from seeds. His memory, as he says, is terrible and he only thought that maybe this was grown from a seed from India. No other information he could recall.
Thank you, everyone! I wish I could take credit--all I did was keep her alive, LOL. I was very surprised the man was willing to give her up but he had to thin his collection very dramatically and this was maybe a shy bloomer for him, too.
Peg, the cutting of the grape-scented flowering seedling came from him, too, and I'm still waiting for any sign of an inflo on that one. At least it's very compact.
Dave, at the rate this one grows and branches I'll be able to take cuttings in 2020 or so :) But thank you for your confidence!
Joan, we still have a seedling cutting deal, my friend! How are you? It's been a long time! And I couldn't go to the sales this summer. Hope your patch is doing awesomely!

+ - Google converts links sent via Google Chat to referral links 1
A friend of mine sent me a link, incidentally about an MIT study about the futility of folio hats in blocking the thought police. I use Chrome for Gmail, but being the folio-hat -wearing type, I do all my other browsing in a tightly locked down FF. I copy-pasted the link to FF, and noticed that there was flash of a Google URL before it went to the right URL.
After pasting the link to a note, I noticed it's a Google referral link, similar to the ones most (all?) links on Google search are — in case you weren't aware. So now Google knows who sent what link to whom. The only way around that is to select the entire link, and copy the text.
Now, I'm aware that by definition of me being on a Google platform they implicitly know our conversations. But the fact that they bother to make a referral link means there is even more datamining going on behind the scenes than what we already knew of."
