CALGARY, Feb. 22, 2013 /CNW/ - Enerplus Corporation ("Enerplus") (TSX: ERF) (NYSE: ERF) is pleased to announce fourth quarter 2012 results as well as 2012 year-end operating, financial and reserves results.
We delivered significant production and funds flow growth in 2012 ending the year with strong fourth quarter results. Our funds flow improved by 12% over 2011 due to a 9% increase in production and a higher weighting to crude oil largely due to the successful results of our drilling program at Fort Berthold in North Dakota. We also delivered another strong year in terms of organic reserve growth, replacing over 190% of our production in 2012 at attractive finding and development costs ("F&D costs") for the second year in a row. Our proved plus probable ("P+P") F&D costs including future development capital ("FDC") were $24.21 per BOE in 2012. In addition, we preserved our financial flexibility exiting 2012 with a debt-to-funds flow ratio of 1.7 times and are positioned to deliver on our corporate objectives in 2013.
Finding and Development Costs
Contingent Resources
(1) Non-cash amounts have been excluded. (2) Net of oil and gas transportation costs, but before the effects of commodity derivative instruments.
*December month
U.S. Crude Oil
Our U.S. crude oil assets located within the Williston Basin represent approximately 40% of Enerplus' total crude oil and natural gas liquids production. Throughout 2012, we continued to focus the majority of our capital spending program in the Fort Berthold region in North Dakota. We also acquired an additional 20% working interest in the Sleeping Giant project in Montana, thereby growing our interests in both regions.
At Fort Berthold, we advanced our understanding of both the Bakken and Three Forks opportunities in the region and grew production by approximately 120% in 2012, exiting at 14,000 BOE per day. We drilled a total of 26 net operated wells, 19 of which were Bakken wells and seven of which were Three Forks wells. We also participated alongside our partners on 5.1 net non-operated wells.
We continue to evaluate optimal spacing and densities in this region. Based upon results to date, we believe that ultimate recoveries will vary depending upon a number of factors including the lateral length and number of frac stages, the number of wells drilled within a drilling spacing unit and whether the wells are producing from the Bakken or Three Forks formation. We anticipate expected ultimate recoveries ("EURs") will be lower for wells landed in the Three Forks formation and for the third and fourth wells drilled in a spacing unit. As a result, we continue to expect that EURs per long lateral well could range between 500 and 800 Mbbls of crude oil.
As a result of our drilling activities, we grew reserves by 53%, adding 34.2 MMBOE of P+P reserves at a cost of $25.38 per BOE including FDC. We have 86.1 MMBOE of P+P reserves booked as of December 31, 2012 and the Fort Berthold region now represents 25% of our corporate P+P reserves. In addition, our internal assessment of the best estimate of contingent resources, as audited by our independent reserve evaluators, is now 33.5 MMBOE at Fort Berthold. We converted 31.2 MMBOE of contingent resources to reserves during the year and added 2.0 MMBOE of Bakken and 13.6 MMBOE of Three Forks contingent resources to our estimate.
In 2013, we expect to reduce our capital spending by approximately 25% over 2012 levels and plan to run a two-rig program drilling between 20 - 25 net operated wells during the year. We expect to grow daily production by approximately 30%. Our focus is to improve our capital efficiencies in 2013. As we exited 2012, we have seen significant cost improvement in the region, particularly in completion costs. As a result of these reductions and an improvement in execution, we would expect our well costs to decrease by 10% - 15% in 2013.
U.S. Natural Gas
Our U.S. natural gas assets are principally comprised of our Marcellus shale gas interests in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. During 2012, our efforts were focused exclusively in the Marcellus and were largely driven by lease retention of core acreage on our non-operated properties in the northeast Pennsylvania region. As natural gas prices declined throughout the year, our partners slowed their activities which resulted in a 20% reduction in capital spending from our original guidance to $154 million. We participated in the drilling of 11.6 net wells with 13.8 net wells brought on-stream. We experienced delays in bringing wells on-stream in the latter half of the year due to pipeline and infrastructure constraints. Despite these delays, production from the Marcellus doubled in 2012 to average 41 MMcf/day. Also as a result of our drilling activities, we estimate that approximately two thirds of our core non-operated acreage is now held by production.
Subsequent to year-end, a number of additional wells were tied-in and production is currently over 65 MMcf per day. Based upon current NYMEX prices, our U.S. natural gas production receives an operating netback of approximately $2.15 per Mcf, roughly 25% higher than our average Canadian natural gas production. We expect our U.S. natural gas production to represent almost 35% of our corporate natural gas volumes in 2013.
As a result of our drilling activities, P+P reserves increased in the Marcellus by 46% to 225 Bcf at year-end. Approximately 124 Bcf of contingent resources associated with our non-operated leases were converted to P+P reserves at year-end. Marcellus shale gas now accounts for approximately 27% of our total P+P natural gas reserves. The best estimate of contingent resources associated with the Marcellus declined to 1.3 Tcf from 2.3 Tcf in 2011.
We expect to reduce our capital program in the Marcellus by over 50% in 2013. We plan to spend approximately $80 million essentially all of which will be invested with our non-operated partners. By year-end, we expect the majority of our core non-operated Marcellus acreage will be held by production.
Canadian Crude Oil
Our Canadian crude oil assets are comprised primarily of properties under waterflood and are a core holding in our portfolio due to their low decline, significant EOR potential and the free cash flow they generate. Our key focus areas in 2012 were the advancement of our EOR programs at Giltedge and Medicine Hat as well as optimization and waterflood development at Medicine Hat Glauc "C", Pembina Cardium and in the Ratcliffe trend of Saskatchewan. In aggregate, a total of $169 million was invested in drilling, facility upgrades and optimization activities. As a result of this investment, we grew production by 7% in 2012, to 23,891 BOE per day up from 22,303 BOE per day in 2011.
At Medicine Hat Glauc "C", we continue to see positive results from our horizontal drilling and polymer injection programs. Production volumes increased from 2,600 BOE per day at the end of 2011 to 4,500 BOE per day at the end of 2012. Given the positive results we are seeing from the polymer injection, we expect to be in a position to make a decision to expand the polymer EOR project by mid-2013. In total, 5.5 MMBOE of incremental P+P reserves were booked at year end, including the conversion of 2.1 MMBOE of contingent resources associated with our EOR project, with an attractive F&D cost of $14.25 per BOE.
We replaced 107% of Canadian crude oil and natural gas liquids production in 2012. Total Canadian proved plus probable crude oil reserves decreased by 8% to 91.6 MMbbls, primarily due to the sale of our Manitoba assets which included 8.3 MMbbls of P+P reserves, In addition, our internal estimate of contingent resources associated with a portion of these assets increased by 7% year-over-year to 60.3 MMBOE with the addition of 14.3 MMBOE of contingent resources.
Canadian Natural Gas
As a result of the weak outlook for natural gas prices, capital investment in our Canadian natural gas assets was limited to projects with associated natural gas liquids. Our activities included delineation of our undeveloped acreage in the Cardium and Duvernay and additional drilling in the Wilrich. No capital was allocated to our shallow natural gas assets. As a result of the reduced spending, Canadian natural gas production and reserves declined in 2012 by 9% and 12% respectively.
Enerplus drilled and completed two horizontal wells in the Wilrich formation in 2012. Based upon our drilling results in 2012, we added approximately 24 Bcfe of P+P reserves and have internally assessed 283 Bcfe of best estimate contingent resources associated with the play.
We drilled our first vertical delineation well in the Duvernay late in 2012. Core and fluid analysis has confirmed that we are in the liquids rich fairway and we plan to drill a number of vertical delineation wells in the latter half of 2013 in order to further increase our understanding of the play. We continue to pursue joint ventures in both the Duvernay and Montney areas given the scale of these opportunities and to provide additional near-term funding.
All reserves information, including our U.S. reserves, has been prepared in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 51-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities ("NI 51-101") standards. Independent reserve evaluations have been conducted on approximately 88% of the total proved plus probable value (discounted at 10%) of our reserves at December 31, 2012. McDaniel & Associates Consultants Ltd. ("McDaniel") evaluated 76% of our Canadian reserves and essentially 100% of the reserves associated with our western U.S. assets. They also reviewed the internal evaluation completed by Enerplus on the remaining 24% of our Canadian assets. Haas Petroleum Engineering Services Inc. ("Haas") evaluated 100% of our Marcellus shale gas reserves in the U.S.
See "Information Regarding Reserves, Resources and Operational Information" at the end of this news release for information regarding the presentation of company interest reserves and contingent resources.
Forecast Price Assumptions
The estimated reserve volumes and the net present values of future net revenues ("NPV") at December 31, 2012 were based upon forecast crude oil and natural gas pricing assumptions prepared by McDaniel as of January 1, 2013. These prices were applied to the reserves evaluated by McDaniel and Haas, along with those evaluated internally by Enerplus and reviewed by McDaniel. The base reference prices and exchange rates used by McDaniel are detailed below. These forecast price assumptions reflect a reduction in the prices of natural gas at AECO and Henry Hub and also a decrease in the prices for our portfolio of crude oil as compared to the price assumptions used to calculate our reserves and NPV at December 31, 2011.
Reserves Summary
The following table sets out our company interest, gross and net reserve volumes at December 31, 2012 by production type and reserve category under McDaniel's forecast price scenarios. Under different price scenarios, these reserves could vary as a change in price can affect the economic limit and reserves associated with a property. Company interest reserves consist of gross reserves, which are before the deduction of any royalties, plus Enerplus' royalty interests in reserves. It should be noted that tables may not add due to rounding.
Future Development Capital
Changes in forecast FDC occur annually as a result of development activities, acquisition and disposition activities and capital cost estimates that reflect the independent evaluator's best estimate of what it will cost to bring the proved undeveloped and probable reserves on production. The aggregate of the exploration and development costs incurred in the most recent year and the change during the year in estimated future development costs generally reflect the total finding and development costs related to reserve additions for that year.
The significant increase in FDC reported at year-end 2012 is primarily related to the increase in the number of undeveloped drilling locations added in Fort Berthold and the Marcellus along with higher well cost assumptions on previously booked locations mainly in Fort Berthold. F&D and FD&A costs have been calculated both including and excluding FDC.
The following is a summary of the independent reserve evaluators' estimated FDC required to bring total proved and probable reserves on production:
Reserve Reconciliation
The following tables outline the changes in Enerplus' proved, probable and proved plus probable reserves, on a company interest basis, from December 31, 2011 to December 31, 2012:
Proved Reserves - Company Interest Volumes (Forecast Prices)
Probable Reserves - Company Interest Volumes (Forecast Prices)
Proved Plus Probable Reserves - Company Interest Volumes (Forecast Prices)
The following table provides a breakdown of the best estimate of contingent resources associated with a portion of Enerplus' assets. The evaluation of contingent resources associated with the Wilrich and our leases at Fort Berthold was conducted by Enerplus and audited by McDaniel. Haas evaluated 100% of our Marcellus shale gas assets in the U.S. and provided the estimate of contingent resources. The contingent resource assessments associated with a portion of our waterflood properties were completed internally by qualified reserve evaluators.
The following table provides an estimate of the net present value of Enerplus' future production revenue after deduction of royalties, estimated future capital and operating expenditures, and before and after income taxes. It should not be assumed that the present value of estimated future cash flows shown below is representative of the fair market value of the reserves. The after tax net present value of future production revenues reflects the tax burden on properties on a stand-alone basis and does not consider the business entity-level tax situation or any potential tax planning.
Despite a 7.4% increase in our P+P reserves at December 31, 2012, the estimated before tax NPV using a 10% discount was 11% lower than the NPV 10% at December 31, 2011. This is due primarily to a reduction in both the forecast prices of natural gas and crude oil, and wider crude oil differentials used by our independent reserve evaluators.
Enerplus' estimated net asset value is based on the estimated net present value of all future net revenue from our reserves, before taxes, as estimated by our independent reserve engineers, McDaniel and Haas, at year-end plus the estimated value of our undeveloped acreage and other equity investments, less decommissioning liabilities, long-term debt and net working capital. This calculation can vary significantly depending on the oil and natural gas price assumptions used by the independent reserve engineers.
In addition, this calculation does not consider "going concern" value and assumes only the reserves identified in the reserve reports with no further acquisitions or incremental development, including development of contingent resources. At December 31, 2012, the estimate of contingent resources contained within our leases was 364 million BOE. As we execute our capital programs, we expect to convert contingent resources to reserves which could result in a doubling of our booked proved plus probable reserves. The land values described in the Net Asset Value table below do not necessarily reflect the full value of the contingent resources associated with these lands.
We plan to spend approximately $685 million on exploration and development projects in 2013, 20% lower than our capital spending in 2012. Approximately 85% of our capital is expected to be allocated to crude oil and liquids rich natural gas projects, with 75% targeted to crude oil specifically. We expect production to average between 82,000 BOE per day and 85,000 BOE per day with a 50% weighting to crude oil and liquids. This is an expected increase of 2% versus 2012 using the mid-point of this range. Exit production is expected to average between 84,000 BOE per day and 88,000 BOE per day. Given the timing of capital spending and expected downtime for winter weather conditions, we expect production volumes during the first quarter will be slightly lower than the fourth quarter of 2012.
Based upon our production expectations and forward commodity prices at February 7, 2013, we expect to grow funds flow by approximately 8% over 2012 levels. As a result of this growth and lower capital spending, our adjusted payout ratio is expected to decline significantly in 2013. We plan to continue to sell non-core assets in order to preserve our financial strength and also improve the focus of our operations. We expect to end the year with a year-end debt-to-funds flow ratio of less than 2.0 times.
In addition, with the majority of funds flow expected to be generated from crude oil, we have hedged a significant amount of our 2013 crude oil production in order to provide greater certainty with respect to funds flow for the year. We currently have 60% of our anticipated 2013 crude oil production net of royalties hedged at an average price of approximately US$100.00 per barrel. We also have downside protection on 28% of our anticipated natural gas production net after royalties through 2013.
We navigated a challenging economic environment in 2012 through active portfolio management and preservation of balance sheet strength. We delivered significant production and reserves growth in 2012 which has positioned us well for 2013. We have a large portfolio of future opportunities in crude oil, dry natural gas and liquids rich natural gas that we will seek to maximize the value of through both our capital spending programs as well as possible joint venture opportunities. Our growing component of U.S. based production also provides us exposure to alternative markets and is expected to help improve the profitability of our business. Given the results we have achieved in 2012, we believe we provide a compelling value proposition for investors seeking exposure to the North American energy market.
Gordon J. Kerr, President and CEO, will host a conference call today, February 22, 2013 at 9:00 a.m. MT (11:00 a.m. ET) to discuss these results. Details of the conference call are as follows:

All amounts in this news release are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise specified.
Barrels of Oil Equivalent and Cubic Feet of Gas Equivalent
This news release also contains references to "BOE" (barrels of oil equivalent), "Mcfe" (thousand cubic feet of gas equivalent), "Bcfe" (billion cubic feet of gas equivalent) and "Tcfe" (trillion cubic feet of gas equivalent). Enerplus has adopted the standard of six thousand cubic feet of gas to one barrel of oil (6 Mcf: 1 bbl) when converting natural gas to BOEs, and one barrel of oil to six thousand cubic feet of gas (1 bbl: 6 Mcf) when converting oil to Mcfes, Bcfes and Tcfes. BOEs, Mcfes, Bcfes and Tcfes may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. The foregoing conversion ratios are based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and do not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalent of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading. "MBOE" and "MMBOE" mean "thousand barrels of oil equivalent" and "million barrels of oil equivalent", respectively.
Presentation of Production and Reserves Information
All production volumes and revenues presented herein are reported on a "company interest" basis, before deduction of Crown and other royalties, plus Enerplus' royalty interest. Unless otherwise specified, all reserves volumes in this news release (and all information derived therefrom) are based on "company interest reserves" using forecast prices and costs. "Company interest reserves" consist of "gross reserves" (as defined in NI 51-101), being Enerplus' working interest before deduction of any royalties), plus Enerplus' royalty interests in reserves. "Company interest reserves" are not a measure defined in NI 51-101 and do not have a standardized meaning under NI 51-101. Accordingly, our company interest reserves may not be comparable to reserves presented or disclosed by other issuers. Our oil and gas reserves statement for the year ended December 31, 2012, which will include complete disclosure of our oil and gas reserves and other oil and gas information in accordance with NI 51-101, will be contained within our Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2012 ("our AIF") which will be available in late February 2013 on our website at www.enerplus.com and under our SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com. Additionally, our AIF will form part of our Form 40-F that will be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and will available on EDGAR at www.sec.gov. Readers are also urged to review the Management's Discussion & Analysis and financial statements filed on SEDAR and EDGAR concurrently with this news release for more complete disclosure on our operations.
Contingent Resource Estimates
This news release contains estimates of "contingent resources". "Contingent resources" are not, and should not be confused with, oil and gas reserves. "Contingent resources" are defined in the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook (the "COGE Handbook") as "those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations using established technology or technology under development, but which are not currently considered to be commercially recoverable due to one or more contingencies. Contingencies may include factors such as ultimate recovery rates, economic, legal, environmental, political and regulatory matters or a lack of markets. It is also appropriate to classify as "contingent resources" the estimated discovered recoverable quantities associated with a project in the early evaluation stage. Enerplus expects to develop these contingent resources in the coming years however it is too early in their development for these resources to be classified as reserves at this time. All of our contingent resource estimates are economic using established technologies and under current commodity price assumptions used by our independent reserve evaluators. There is no certainty that we will produce any portion of the volumes currently classified as "contingent resources". The "contingent resource" estimates contained herein are presented as the "best estimate" of the quantity that will actually be recovered, effective as of December 31, 2012. A "best estimate" of contingent resources means that it is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the best estimate, and if probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 50% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the best estimate.
For additional information regarding the primary contingencies which currently prevent the classification of our disclosed "contingent resources" associated with our Marcellus shale gas properties, our Fort Berthold properties, our Wilrich natural gas properties and a portion of our Canadian crude oil properties as reserves and the positive and negative factors relevant to the "contingent resource" estimates, see our AIF for the year ended December 31, 2012 (and corresponding Form 40-F) dated February 22, 2013, a copy of which is available under our SEDAR profile atwww.sedar.com and a copy of the Form 40-F which is available under our EDGAR profile at www.sec.gov.
F&D and FD&A Costs
F&D costs presented in this news release are calculated (i) in the case of F&D costs for proved reserves, by dividing the sum of exploration and development costs incurred in the year plus the change in estimated future development costs in the year, by the additions to proved reserves in the year, and (ii) in the case of F&D costs for proved plus probable reserves, by dividing the sum of exploration and development costs incurred in the year plus the change in estimated future development costs in the year, by the additions to proved plus probable reserves in the year. The aggregate of the exploration and development costs incurred in the most recent financial year and the change during that year in estimated future development costs generally reflect total finding and development costs related to its reserves additions for that year.
FD&A costs presented in this news release are calculated (i) in the case of FD&A costs for proved reserves, by dividing the sum of exploration and development costs and the cost of net acquisitions incurred in the year plus the change in estimated future development costs in the year, by the additions to proved reserves including net acquisitions in the year, and (ii) in the case of FD&A costs for proved plus probable reserves, by dividing the sum of exploration and development costs and the cost of net acquisitions incurred in the year plus the change in estimated future development costs in the year, by the additions to proved plus probable reserves including net acquisitions in the year. The aggregate of the exploration and development costs incurred in the most recent financial year and the change during that year in estimated future development costs generally reflect total finding, development and acquisition costs related to its reserves additions for that year.
See "Non-GAAP Measures" below.
The oil and natural gas reserves information contained in this news release has generally been prepared in accordance with Canadian disclosure standards, which are not comparable in all respects to United States or other foreign disclosure standards. Reserves categories such as "proved reserves" and "probable reserves" may be defined differently under Canadian requirements than the definitions contained in the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") rules. In addition, under Canadian disclosure requirements and industry practice, reserves and production are reported using gross (or, as noted above, "company interest") volumes, which are volumes prior to deduction of royalty and similar payments. The practice in the United States is to report reserves and production using net volumes, after deduction of applicable royalties and similar payments. Canadian disclosure requirements require that forecasted commodity prices be used for reserves evaluations, while the SEC mandates the use of an average of first day of the month price for the 12 months prior to the end of the reporting period. Additionally, the SEC prohibits disclosure of oil and gas resources, whereas Canadian issuers may disclose oil and gas resources. Resources are different than, and should not be construed as reserves. For a description of the definition of, and the risks and uncertainties surrounding the disclosure of, contingent resources, see "Information Regarding Reserves, Resources and Operational Information" above.
This news release contains certain forward-looking information and statements ("forward-looking information") within the meaning of applicable securities laws. The use of any of the words "expect", "anticipate", "continue", "estimate", "guidance", "objective", "ongoing", "may", "will", "project", "should", "believe", "plans", "intends", "budget", "strategy" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking information. In particular, but without limiting the foregoing, this news release contains forward-looking information pertaining to the following: Enerplus' asset portfolio; future capital and development expenditures and the allocation thereof among our resource plays and assets; future development and drilling locations, plans and costs; the performance of and future results from Enerplus' assets and operations, including anticipated production levels, expected ultimate recoveries and decline rates; future growth prospects, acquisitions and dispositions; the volumes and estimated value of Enerplus' oil and gas reserves and contingent resource volumes and future commodity price and foreign exchange rate assumptions related thereto; the life of Enerplus' reserves; the volume and product mix of Enerplus' oil and gas production; the amount of future asset retirement obligations; future funds flow and debt-to-funds flow levels; potential asset sales; returns on Enerplus' capital program; Enerplus' tax position; sources of funding of Enerplus' capital program; and future costs, expenses and royalty rates.
The forward-looking information contained in this news release reflects several material factors and expectations and assumptions of Enerplus including, without limitation: that Enerplus will conduct its operations and achieve results of operations as anticipated; that Enerplus' development plans will achieve the expected results; the general continuance of current or, where applicable, assumed industry conditions; the continuation of assumed tax, royalty and regulatory regimes; the accuracy of the estimates of Enerplus' reserve and resource volumes; commodity price and cost assumptions; the continued availability of adequate debt and/or equity financing, cash flow and other sources to fund Enerplus' capital and operating requirements as needed; and the extent of its liabilities. Enerplus believes the material factors, expectations and assumptions reflected in the forward-looking information are reasonable but no assurance can be given that these factors, expectations and assumptions will prove to be correct.
The forward-looking information included in this news release is not a guarantee of future performance and should not be unduly relied upon. Such information involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking information including, without limitation: changes in commodity prices; changes in the demand for or supply of Enerplus' products; unanticipated operating results, results from development plans or production declines; changes in tax or environmental laws, royalty rates or other regulatory matters; changes in development plans by Enerplus or by third party operators of Enerplus' properties; increased debt levels or debt service requirements; inaccurate estimation of Enerplus' oil and gas reserves and resources volumes; limited, unfavourable or a lack of access to capital markets; increased costs; a lack of adequate insurance coverage; the impact of competitors; reliance on industry partners; and certain other risks detailed from time to time in Enerplus' public disclosure documents (including, without limitation, those risks identified in Enerplus' Annual Information Form and Form 40-F described above).
The forward-looking information contained in this news release speaks only as of the date of this news release, and none of Enerplus or its subsidiaries assume any obligation to publicly update or revise them to reflect new events or circumstances, except as may be required pursuant to applicable laws.
In this news release, we use the terms "payout ratio" and "adjusted payout ratio" to analyze operating performance, leverage and liquidity, and the terms "F&D costs", "FD&A costs", "recycle ratio" and "operating netback" as measures of operating performance. We calculate "payout ratio" by dividing dividends to shareholders, net of our stock dividends and DRIP proceeds, by funds flow. "Adjusted payout ratio" is calculated as cash dividends to shareholders, net of our stock dividends and DRIP proceeds, plus capital spending (including office capital) divided by funds flow. "Operating netback" is calculated as oil and gas sales revenues after deducting royalties, operating costs and transportation. A "recycle ratio" is calculated as F&D costs divided by operating netback.
Enerplus believes that, in addition to net earnings and other measures prescribed by IFRS, the terms "payout ratio", "adjusted payout ratio", "F&D costs" and "FD&A costs" are useful supplemental measures as they provide an indication of the results generated by Enerplus' principal business activities. However, these measures are not measures recognized by GAAP and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. Therefore, these measures, as defined by Enerplus, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.

Why do I want to become an Occupational Therapist and how have I prepared for the O.T program?
UNDERSTANDING OCCUPATIONA THERAPY Understanding Occupational Therapy Author 's Name 2007 Abstract Occupational Therapy is one of the many fields with the purpose of helping its respective patients address their needs and cope with with their disabilities . Being into this profession and the children being my most valued clients , this will describe the volunteer works I have done to serve patients who need my professional service . Aimed at specializing on helping and caring children with disabilities and those who need rehabilitation , this essay will picture the services and works

Understanding Occupational Therapy
I love helping people throughout my entire life . This is who I am . With a B .S . Behavioral Science course in hand , I have volunteered in my cousin 's occupational therapy clinic and will continue to do so . Being a part of a volunteer program at church helping children with disabilities made me realize that I do not only want to help people who are in physical need but also psychological thus pursuing a career in Occupational Therapy will allow me to fulfill this mission . In the near future , I will specialize in helping children through their disabilities and rehabilitation . To start with , I already took initiatives that will develop me in preparing in the field of Occupational Therapy . But first I need to have an understanding of OT in for me to develop these qualities and meet my goal
The American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA ) defined Occupational Therapy as a treatment that focuses on helping people achieve independence in all areas of their lives , can offer kids with various needs positive , fun activities to improve their cognitive physical , and motor skills and enhance their self-esteem and sense of accomplishment ' Occupational Therapy is not only for adults just because they are the ones who have occupations but it is also for children whose main job is playing and learning
AOTA further stated that aside from an individual 's physical well-being , OT practitioners respond to the psychological , social , and environmental factors that may prevent an individual 's functioning in various ways . This unique approach made occupational therapy a vital part of health care for some kids who are my most concern of giving my help
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U .S . Department of Labor , improving the patient 's ability to perform tasks in living and working environments and working with those who suffer from a mentally physically , developmentally , or emotionally disabling condition are only two of the many functions of an Occupational Therapists .

We were not able to go to Disney for the last few years and we missed a lot of decorations for home use. Mostly tree ornaments. Can somebody confirm when 2013 Christmas decorations will come out? I am not looking for dated products, but NEW products.
I doubt that anybody could give you an answer. First they would need to know what items are currently being sold at over 200 locations that are christmas related. Then you are expecting them to know what items are exclusive to this year only. You are also asking this in February, 8 months before they really start putting out Christmas items (Other than the Christmas shops). It would be like going into your grocery store at home and asking the manager what items are new this year, just on the cereal aisle.
Not true at all. There are many people who go to Disney quite often and some who spend a great deal of time in the stores. There is also cast members who frequent these forums as well as Disney personal shoppers. Mother Gothel, I searched the Disney Parks Blog, but didnt see anything. Last year they released information on new items in June, but that was for specific items. You can call WDW Merchandising and if you get somebody who is helpful, they may be able to give you an idea. I called last year and they told me about the Ear Hat Ornaments as being new limited edition items.
In these two posts you are asking for the opposite thing. If you want info on ornaments that have the date 2013 on them, they are out now, they were on the shelves in December when we were there. They have scaled back from the past and there are not as many choices for those types of ornaments as in the past.
I think you need to re-read. If you look at my posts, I never said that or modified any posts that previously said that. That was somebody else. All I asked for is non-dated items.

Just like with Red Robin's signature beer milkshakes, these Can-Crafted™ Cocktailstake traditional burger and beer pairings to a whole new level. The 21-and-over beer cocktails are a unique combination of beer and liquor and are available in two styles:
The gourmet burger expert has been designing the innovative reusable beer cans for the past year, which are made of a sturdy aluminum and have the look and feel of a real beer can. The Coors Light® and Blue Moon® branded cans can only be found at Red Robin for these Too cold to hold! ™ cocktails, which are sure to provide guests with cool relief during the summer heat.
"Souvenir glassware is a big part of Red Robin's heritage, and it was important to me to create something unique that could only be found at our restaurants," said Donna Ruch, Red Robin's Master Mixologist. "My vision for the Can-Crafted Cocktails was to craft a craveable adult beverage in a one-of-a-kind glass that would catch the eye and act as a conversation piece for our guests. The Can-Crafted Cocktails definitely have that wow factor."
The beer cocktails will be served through the summer, and the signature beer cans will be available to purchase for $5* at participating locations, while supplies last.
"Creating unique presentations and appeal is an integral part of food and beverage innovation at Red Robin," said Denny Marie Post, Red Robin's senior vice president and chief menu & marketing officer. "Through our Can-Crafted Cocktails, we're bringing our 21-and-over guests more adventurous, outside-of-the-box mixology. These cocktails have a multigenerational appeal and definitely shine a spotlight on the creativity that made Red Robin famous."

The Serenity Prayer - Long Version
God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and Wisdom to know the difference. Thy will, not mine be done.
Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, p. 41
God, I offer myself to Thee--to build with me and to do with me as Thou wilt. Relieve me of the bondage of self, that I may better do Thy will. Take away my difficulties, that victory over them may bear witness to those I would help of Thy Power, Thy Love, and Thy Way of Life. May I do Thy will always!
Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 63
My Creator, I am now willing that you should have all of me, good and bad. I pray that you now remove from me every single defect of character which stands in the way of my usefulness to you and my fellows. Grant me the strength, as I go out from here, to do your bidding. Amen.
Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 76
Lord, make me a channel of thy peace--that where there is hatred, I may bring love--that where there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness--that where there is discord, I may bring harmony--that where there is error, I may bring truth--that where there is doubt, I may bring faith--that where there is despair, I may bring hope--that where there are shadows, I may bring light--that where there is sadness, I may bring joy. Lord, grant that I may seek rather to comfort than to be comforted--to understand, than to be understood--to love, than to be loved. For it is by self-forgetting that one finds. It is by forgiving that one is forgiven. It is by dying that one awakens to eternal life. Amen
Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, p. 99

The province is moving ahead with legislation which will require chain restaurants to put nutritional information on menus. Health Minister Deb Matthews is acting off of a panel report and industry consultations. If passed, this legislation would require restaurant chains and grocery stores with more than 20 locations to place calorie counts on menus and menu boards. This would be for both food and drinks. Matthews says it would also make restaurants give a contextual statement about the food, such as how many calories the average adult should consume in a day. Food inspectors would be able to fine an establishment that didn't do any of this. The goal is to give customers information they may not have in order for them to make healthy food choices. The province hopes it will counteract rising childhood obesity numbers, an issue the healthcare system has been struggling with. This would not affect smaller restaurants. This legislation only recommends posting calorie counts, with Matthews calling it a first step.

Who is the Philippines' Iglesia ni Cristo?
Catholic cardinal's primer on this powerful sect
Picture: Rappler.com
- Aries C. Rufo for Rappler
- Philippines
- July 23, 2014
More than 2,000 years separate the Roman Catholic Church and the homegrown Iglesia ni Cristo. While both claim to be of divine origin, the former traces its authority to St Peter and the succession of popes, while the latter, from the late Felix Manalo, its founder.
A wide gap of doctrinal differences also separates the two faiths, and in the Philippines, leaders of the Catholic Church and the INC do not see eye to eye – even politically.
Sometimes, they even find themselves on opposite sides of the political fence, obtaining mixed results in the process.
How different is the Catholic Church from the INC, and vice-versa?
In anticipation of the centennial anniversary of the INC, Cotabato Archbishop Orlando Cardinal Quevedo prepared a primer to act as a catechesis guide for Filipino Catholics. Quevedo, a Canon law expert and a Church scholar, stressed that differences in religious belief should not hinder unity and harmony.
"The respect we give to the religious belief of others should motivate us to get to understand those deep beliefs, as this is demanded by the requirements of sincere dialogue. Differences in what we believe do not make us distant from those who hold those beliefs…among ideas contradictions are inevitable, but not among persons," Quevedo said in the foreword.
Rappler summarizes the main points in the primer.
The divinity and humanity of Christ. To the Catholic Church, Jesus Christ "is the Son of God" and the "Second Person of the Blessed Trinity." He is the central figure in the apostolic teaching. For the INC however, Christ "remains man in His state of being. Christ is never the true God. He is a true man." That Christ "was subjected to the experiences and circumstances of human life" is proof that Christ was never God.
Central teaching about God. To the Catholic Church, the Trinitarian Faith guides its belief in the oneness of God. That there are 3 Persons in God: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, that "equally possess the fullness of the one and indivisible human nature. This mystery of the Most Blessed Trinity forms the central mystery of the Christian faith and life."
To the INC, however, "there is only one God. He alone is God (Ps. 86:10)." Another Bible verse says "For I am God and there is no other." As such, "the INC interprets these as proofs against the Trinity of Persons in one God."
Sources of divine revelation. For the Catholic Church, there are two: Apostolic tradition and the Holy Bible. Apostolic tradition "is the transmission of the message of Christ brought about from the very beginnings of Christianity by means of preaching, bearing witness, institution, worship and inspired writings." It occurs in two ways: through living transmission of the Word of God and through Sacred Scripture.
To the INC, however, only the Bible is the source of divine revelation. "They believe that the words of God are written in the Bible; that when the Bible speaks, God himself speaks. So when the Bible is silent, the INC is silent too, for it recognizes no other basis and authority in serving God except the Bible."
What's in a name? The Roman Catholic Church began to be called as such in the 4th century. St Ignatius, the bishop of Antioch and a disciple of St John, is credited for it when he said, "Where there is Christ Jesus, there is the Catholic Church." The word "Catholic" is from the Greek wordkatholikos, which means universal.
The INC, using the *Lamsa version of the Bible, took its cue from various verses in the Holy Book, where the Church that Christ built is called the Church of Christ, or Iglesia ni Cristo in Filipino. To them, the INC is the only true Church.
(*George Lamsa authored "The Holy Bible from ancient Eastern Manuscripts." He based his translation on Aramaic, not Greek. The Lamsa version is also accepted by the Jehovah's Witnesses and the Christadelphians. Apart from the Lamsa version, the INC also adheres to James Moffat's version of the Bible. It is the Moffat version that INC founder Felix Manalo "used as source of the identity of God's last messenger. "From the Far East will I bring your offspring.")
Path to salvation. The INC adheres to the exclusivist doctrine that outside of it, there is no salvation. "To be reconciled and to be saved, one must become a member. Unless he becomes a part of the Church of Christ or the Body of Christ, he is not embraced by the redemptive death of Christ."
In comparison, the Catholic Church teaches that eternal salvation is also granted to "those who, through no fault of their own, do not know the Gospel of Christ or His Church, but who nevertheless seek God with a sincere heart and, moved by grace, try in their actions to do His will as they know it, through the dictates of their conscience (from the encyclical Lumen Gentium)."
Apostate Church. The INC accuses the Catholic Church of "unfaithfulness" or apostasy. Citing the prophesy of Apostle Paul, the early Church strayed away from the teachings of Christ. They cite the words of St Paul, who said that after his death, "men will arise who will speak perverse things to draw away the disciples of Christ after them (Acts 20:30)." The INC also cites St Peter, who said that false prophets will preach heresies "denying the Master, the Lord Jesus Christ, by rejecting him as Head of the Church…and by rejecting His name."
The INC believes the descriptions squarely fit the Catholic Church. "The Catholic Church denied the Lord Christ's headship by putting Peter and the Popes in His stead. It rejected His name, Christ, by sporting such an unscriptural name as Roman Catholic Church."
The Catholic Church however, counters that it "has been faithful at all times to the Revelation" amid erroneous teachings and persecutions. The martyrdom of early Christians in the first 3 centuries is proof of the fidelity of the Catholic Church to Christ's teachings.
In the first place, if the Catholic Church committed apostasy, "why does the INC use the Holy Bible that was ratified by the same Church in the 4th century?"

I found something disturbing
I was planning on editing my contacts but when I came across it I stopped.
Quoting Cenedra64:
How old is your dd? You think she mightve contacted him? I had to reread...my bad...YOUR phone. I dunno but we only have one cell. They do weird things ive had text reappear..dissapear. My dd dl pics and they disappeared and ones she deleted disappeared. My outbox totally disapears if someone on their phone deletes their text. Now thats a server thing. I suspect its an internal memory thing
Quoting Cenedra64:
Reread all i said. I realized wasnt your dd...i was thinking some sites and phones do contact backups. Mine does. Itll send to online visa versa. If you ever did a contact backup it mightve added
Quoting steviechick:What about friends and family members? Would they be able to get a hold of your phone and make the changes? If not then check with your phone service provider. They would have the answers AND they can make sure your ex is blocked.
did you even know his address before this incident or is this like totally new info for you?
second question is the address the same address that his phonebill would go to maybe it is a new service who is your carrier and what type of phone is it?
I heard the new IPhones do some crazy stuff way futuristic

Viewing Single Post From: Ali Sweeney about.com Interview | |
Ponz | Apr 6 2009, 08:23 AM |
Full interview is at the link. Here's the DAYS-related stuff: GM: Days of Our Lives, let�s talk about that. How do you like working with Galen Gering (Rafe)? AS: Oh, it�s been so fun getting to know Galen. I mean, we�ve known each other for nine years since he started Passions, and I get to see him longer than that now. And it�s funny to have known him for so long through NBC events and stuff like that and then to all of a sudden be working together in a storyline. It�s been wonderful. I think he�s a very talented actor. We have fun working together, and it�s nice. It�s a new, different storyline for Sami. GM: He�s caught on with a lot of fans, and many seem to be rooting for the pairing of Rafe and Sami. AS: Safe? GM: Yes! AS: Yeah, it�s been fun to see that reaction, to see people getting on board with that. GM: And Dylan Patton, he�s doing a great job as Will. How do you like working with him? AS: He�s cute! He�s a good kid. It�s sort of overwhelming to me sometimes to realize my character has a sixteen-year-old, but I love working with him and it�s been fun getting to know him and getting used to having Will on the canvas like that as a teenager, and in some ways I think a reflection of myself. You know I started when I was sixteen and it�s so funny that I have that full circle feeling. But he�s great, he�s talented, he�s fun to work with, and I enjoy the dynamics Sami has with Will, so we�ve been having fun. GM: And I saw that you mentioned so much awesome stuff is happening right now. Does that mean that Sami�s going to try and stop the wedding between E.J. and Nicole? AS: Oh yeah, it�s very exciting! There�s a lot of good stuff happening on the show and you couldn�t imagine how this storyline is progressing with Nicole. She�s got a lot to balance with all these secrets that she�s keeping and it�s definitely a very tangled web. And Sami�s got her own secrets, so it�s definitely like I said...I don�t know if I mentioned it in my blog, but what Ari (Zucker, Nicole) and I were talking about is that every person in the story, every character has such a strong motive of where they�re coming from and such strong feelings about their side of the situation. So I think that makes it so compelling to tell and such a great, classic soap story and taking it in a really interesting direction. As a fan, you can imagine what emotional levels there are to every step of this story. From Sami�s point of view, hopefully the truth coming out eventually and finding out that she�s still in love with this beautiful little girl Grace. I think there are so many beats to play out in the story and as actors we relish that opportunity. Even just the moment where Sami had to tell them that she had adopted a baby. You know from Sami�s perspective the idea that the lie is so painful to her, but she�s doing it for the baby�s benefit. So having E.J. be so nice to her all of a sudden, compassionate, and trying to help her and all that, it�s just interesting. GM: And it was so nice to see you working with Bryan (Dattilo, Lucas) again yesterday. I really miss seeing Lucas and Sami together. AS: I do too! I am definitely a long-standing Lumi fan and I miss working with Bryan every day. He is so fun! I was in a scene the other day and looking around, like he and I have such a history together, for some inside joke and he wasn�t on the set. It�s just strange when I don�t get to work with him all the time. GM: Is there any glimmer of hope for Lumi or it is pretty much over? AS: You know, I do not believe in being hopeless. I think on this soap anything is possible, and I think that Lucas and Sami obviously have a history. We find that every time we work together there is so much past between them. I love the fact that she chose to confide in him and the fact that it was so painful for her to lie to him in the first place, to not tell him the truth about Grace. It speaks a lot about their history and their friendship.....their past is such a deep relationship and ultimately a friendship and a trust that they have with each other. No matter what they say, no matter what the words that are coming out of their mouths, there�s obviously a lot underneath it all. So I took that as a sign that, you know, never say never I guess is all I can say. Because ultimately, I don�t write the show. I don�t know where it�s going. All I know is the scripts I hold in my hand. GM: You just have chemistry with all the men. AS: Oh, thank you! And the hard thing for me is that, I feel like it�s hard for me to speak to it because I always want to make sure that I don�t want to take away from the other storylines or relationships that Sami has on the show. And I don�t want people to think I prefer one over the other or have favorites or whatever it is. I love walking in Sami�s shoes, I mean she is certainly a lucky girl. They are all very good-looking, wonderful men, and I�m really lucky to work with all of them. http://daysofourlives.about.com/od/interviews/a/AlisonSweeneyInterview_1.htm |

Hello, Rock, we haven't been properly introduced; I'm The Miz - the WWE Champion and star of Wrestlemania. You, on the other hand, are only the host of WrestleMania, so you should know your role and be the best Ryan Seacrest that you can be!The Miz has a backstory/motivation thats easy to believe. Hes an egomaniac with a chip on his shoulder. His promos deliver the passion and sharpness few others can muster.
And if you have the guts to show up to RAW or Wrestlemania let me tell you exactly what will happen I will take your little eyebrow, your 45 catchphrases, your sunglasses, your father, your grandfather, roll 'em up into a ball, flip it sideways, and stick it STRAIGHT UP YOUR CANDY-ASS!! Because Im the Miz, and Im
At this point, the Miz hits Cena with his finisher, then rips off his armband, and drops the Peoples Elbow on Cena, finishing with, AWWWWWWSOME!

Whether you actually have that problem or not depends on just how much screen space the models would be taking up and how large the textures are relative to that.
If the models are "typical" as in not usually taking up the whole screen, especially if they are scenery, the texture size of 1024x1024 is likely plenty, however if said model is a focal point in your game/render, you would maybe need 2048x2048. It also depends on if they are going to be rendered with normal-map and/or detail map(usually meant for terrain, but sometimes you'll find it on other things). If you need to, you may be able to re-create the texture at a bigger size yourself, using the smaller version as a reference. This won't affect the uvs at all, as long as you keep everything relative.
I'd say check the texture size, and if you need to, you may be able to contact Turbosquid and/or the creator of the model to confirm if it is fit for your purpose.
Also, on the other problem, I don't think you'll have oddness when scaling models, as long as the objects fit right. In fact, you are scaling to make things fit, so at least the geometry itself shouldn't look oddsized, because that is the point of you scaling in the first place. 3d is all relative. It doesn't matter much exactly how big a human and a car are as long as about 1 human fits into a car seat. The exceptions to this issue is physics simulation(which behaves weird when it seems huge objects move to fast or the other way around) and camera frustum issues. If everything is too small, they may be invisible because you'd have to get too close to the camera to see them, and likewise with high distance, if you have to scoot the camera very far away to see objects at the right size. Renderers(and 3d engine cameras) have a frustum that counts as visible, which tends to be like from 0.3 to 1000 units, and anything outside of that doens't get rendered.

Landscaping Ideas for Garden Bridges

Along with trees, plants, lawns and gardens, many homeowners have also added fish ponds to their yards. If you have a pond in your landscaping theme then you might need a Pond Bridge or a Garden Bridge! Feel free to browse our many different styles and sizes of custom handcrafted bridges on this website (see menu on the left). The following will give you some ideas on how to landscape your bridge. Also see our Landscaping with walkways, bridges and waterscapes page.
