In the past it was fashionable to assert that the Internet treats censorship as damage and routes around it. In the current era we might say that "Web 2.0 treats censorship as inspiration and creates performance around it."
Witness the attempts by the AACS Licensing Authority to keep HD-DVD and Blu-ray cracks off the net. The censors and the crackers have waged a running battle that reached something of a peak this week, when a Digg entry containing the 09 F9 crack was posted. Digg received a quick DMCA takedown notice and away went the entry.
But Digg isn't a sole-author site. Its content, like that of many Web 2.0 sites, comes from its users. Those users were inspired by this act of censorship and simply bombarded Digg with submissions containing the key sequence. According to Eric Bangeman in Ars Technica:
For a few hours, Digg's front page consisted of little more than a succession of links to the hexadecimal HD DVD key.
A good Web 2.0 site listens to its creators and Digg is no exception. Within hours the site issued a pledge that it would not kill stories or comments containing the key. I don't think it's possible to have a clearer distinction between the old (Cartel) business model and the new (Web 2) model. The old model treats customers as enemies to be censored, sued, and publicly pilloried. The new model treats customers as valuable assets, key contributors, and policy makers.
Now let's see which model wins in the marketplace, shall we?

Hey ESD, I don't think you can compare Digg to the (fairly low!) influence Mr. Wong has in Germany.

A useful overview... [that] captures the technological, economic, and cultural sweep of an industry that influenced... what would become the Global Village.
A tour-de-force narrative of more than six decades of American television and its impact on U.S. society.... An important contribution.
An excellent addition to any undergraduate library and also a nice addition to public libraries.
A marvelous, detailed, and comprehensive narrative... This remarkable book, unquestionably one-of-a-kind, belongs in every reference library.
Positioned with the monumental works of Erik Barnouw, Asa Briggs, Christopher Sterling and John Kittross, Edgerton contributes a comprehensive study of American television's popular culture.... The Columbia History of American Television should be on the shelf of every television historian and popular culture scholar, as well as the non-specialist.
A seminal work of meticulous scholarship... Welcome and highly recommended.
Highly informative... eminently readable... Edgerton tells a compelling history of the medium. His book would work well as a primer for general readers, as well as for scholars (particularly international readers) wanting to gain an understanding of the history, forms, and economics of the U.S. television system as well as pointers for further research from his meticulous referencing.
[The book] is meticulous and inspired. Devoted to television, it is richly resourced, eloquently written, and nicely illustrated.
This book is best seen as an update of Erik Barnouw's widely read and concise history, Tube of Plenty: The Evolution of American Television. Moving beyond Barnouw, Edgerton has attempted to craft a unified narrative that simultaneously engages some of the more fine-grained scholarship in the field.... A highly readable account of the development of a complex industry and cultural form.
A monumental and definitive account of American television.

A method has been developed to improve the accuracy with which the polarization state of light can be characterized by the rotating quarter-wave plate technique. Through detailed analysis, verified by experiment, we determine the positions of the optic axes of the retarder and linear polarizer, and the wave plate retardance, to better than

One of the most assured, unashamedly danceable albums that weve heard for quite a while.
An album that nails both the balance and the imbalance promised by any true fusion of rock and dance music.
This is the smartest fun music (and the most fun smart music) I've heard this year.
Louden Up Now is easily the best record to come out of the [new wave dance punk revival] movement; its ten tracks are filled with fervor, hooks, passion and power.
!!! has put together an end-to-end burner here, full of songs that will move your ass and stick in your ear for weeks.
Make no mistake: You will dance. [#64, p.80]
Old loves Liquid Liquid, ESG and A Certain Ratio havent been abandoned and their percussionist still works overtime, but the spirits of Prince, Kraftwerk (both on the wryly self-referential "Dear Can"), Chic and even ABC (on the politicised "Shit Scheisse Merde Pt 1") make cameo appearances.
A funkdafied smart-bomb that's one part Brooklyn, one part Madchester, guitar-meets-echo-chamber, a little Kompakt but still a little sprawling.
If bastard of ceremonies Nic Offer would shut his piehole, Louden Up Now! would improve 50 percent. [Aug 2004, p.106]
Sound[s] like the most genuine "no wave" tribute album yet. [Jun 2004, p.83]
What's so exhilarating about this record, despite all its precise playing, is the casual way in which it shifts rhythmically, never seeming to follow a specific course, yet never losing its way. [#7]
Music that makes you 10 percent sleazier than you were--now where's that dancefloor? [Jul 2004, p.110]
The caveat is that this is primarily dance music, and doesn't make for a super-compelling listen on a full attention basis.
Eighties punk-funk meets '60s idealism and reefer-toking? Make way for the hipster hippies. [#27, p.134]
Sounds like the house mix for a Marxist disco. [#11, p.92]
Some of the cuts get lost in a stagnant loop. [25 Jun 2004, p.166]
Sounds like a funky offshoot of the Stone Roses, mining blissed-out acid grooves, hypnotic rhythms and the kind of distant, detached vocals that don't sound like vocals at all.
Resolutely bottom-heavy and abstract. [#7, p.73]
There probably isn't a track here you won't be hearing in some club, park or block party throughout the summer, so you might as well start now. [#245, p.51]
For their righteous dance moves alone, these guys are for keeps. [5 Jun 2004, p.56]
So the production is great, the songbook is varied, and the band is tighter and more ambitious than ever-- the only problem with Louden Up Now is the unfortunate paucity of ideas within the songs themselves.
The only real downside to Louden Up Now is the surprising amount of filler surrounding the meaner cuts.
Nimble as they are, !!! are definitely a little too certain of their own funkiness.
It's exuberant dorkiness, as well as fluidity of playing, that makes !!! stand out. [Jul 2004, p.106]
A decent album, then. But one containing an EP that would've had us going "!!!!!".
The music is still missing one crucial elementhooks. There really arent any of which to speak, and no amount of production skill and instrumental finesse is able to mask that.
Their dark disco punk is as close to a New York sound as anything these days.
They write some good tunes, and they have some appropriately strident abuse for lyrics. But theres not enough for an album.
Unfortunately, the elements that clicked so well on "Giuliani" prove an awkward fit on !!!'s sophomore full-length. [Jul 2004, p.111]
If you take away the 9 minutes of their already-released big single, you could probably squeeze a tight EP out of Louden Up Now, but as a full-length [it] starts with a bang and ends with sort of a whimper. Fun to filler in 53 minutes.
Now, this wouldn't seem so bad, or filler-friendly, if !!! offered an advancement on "Giuliani." Alas, no.
While the album certainly has cuts worth hearing, it's just not a satisfying listen.
User score distribution:
Positive: 16 out of 17
Mixed: 1 out of 17
Negative: 0 out of 17

Surely the act of creation, if there was suc a thing as a big bang would have been a cosmic male dog with a cosmic female dog acting together in high congress.

LOS ANGELES — Cory Monteith appeared a few months ago as if he was truly looking forward to the future, having finally put behind him the demons of substance abuse that had plagued him since he was a youth.
"Sending out my love to everyone," the "Glee" star said in a late April tweet to fans following a monthlong stint in rehab. "Thank you for the continued support. It means the world to me." The tweet ended with a smiley face.
He was pictured in magazines that month smiling and vacationing with longtime girlfriend and "Glee" co-star Lea Michele, who had proclaimed her steadfast support for Monteith through his struggles. And he was planning to return to "Glee," the television show that had made him a heartthrob for fans known as "Gleeks."
Monteith's apparent happiness and turnaround made the news of his death even more shocking to co-stars and fans. The body of the 31-year-old actor was discovered Saturday shortly after noon in a room at the Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel in downtown Vancouver, British Columbia, after he failed to check out as scheduled.
Police noted there seemed to be no evidence of foul play and said an autopsy was planned for today to determine the cause of death.
Monteith had been staying at the hotel since July 6, and hotel security records indicated he had returned to his room in the early-morning hours of Saturday and was believed to have been alone at the time of his death.
"OMG!! My Cory ... ," tweeted Iqbal Theba, who plays Principal Figgins on the Fox series, which will be entering its fifth season this fall. Dot-Marie Jones, who plays Coach Shannon Bieste, tweeted, "I have no words! My heart is broken. Cory was not only a hell of a friend he was one amazing (man) that I will hold close to my heart forever."
Representatives for Michele, who recently has been putting the final touches on her debut album, released a statement Sunday: "We ask that everyone kindly respect Lea's privacy during this devastating time."
How Monteith's death will affect the series, which revolves around graduates and present members of a high-school choir filled with an odd collection of characters whose love of performing brings them both pleasure and pain, remained uncertain Sunday. Executive producers and executives at 20th Century Fox Television and the Fox network had not had any discussion about how the sudden death would affect the show, according to a source close to production.

Krag Peak Climber's Log
[ Sign the Climber's Log ]
Brian Jenkins | More than advertised Date Climbed: Aug 12, 2014 | |
After doing Borah Peak in Idaho the day before, I headed up thinking I would easily bag this one as a throw-in on my way back home. The trail is easily the most ridiculously over-switchbacked one I've ever been on. Some switchbacks gain maybe 20 feet over hundreds of yards. And it's overgrown with chest-high (to me) weeds. You get to love on that for 1800 feet, then another 1200 through another overgrown area until you get to the lakes. I followed the route info but not sure what happened. I headed NW but ended up in loose Class 3-4 scree/dirt/talus ledges and had to make a few leap-of-faith moves to get out of trouble. Finally gained the ridge and then saw the real Krag down the ridge. Weather was now moving in so I raced the storm and summited about 1:30 pm. Wasted no time getting down as I heard a gentle rumble from one of the clouds. Descended to a tarn then down the correct SE ridge to the granite cliffs above Crater Lake and picked my way down through them to the lake. Was pumping water when the deluge began. Enjoyed a nice soaking hike down through the weeds after that. After Borah the day before and it's 5200 feet, then this 4500 foot climb today, I can safely say I am tired.... I'll post a beta shot but I would suggest going NE from the lake around the granite cliffs to the right before cutting back NW to gain the ridge. Actually, you don't even need to gain the ridge, you can pick your way to the summit pinnacle from the tarn above Crater Lake. | ||

Kept scrambling the ridge over humps not being sure if the last hump was the summit or not. Finally, arrived at a loose "class 3 headwall" - scrambled that and saw nothing higher thus concluded we were on the summit (consistent with map info.) I'm sure the summit offers excellent views of Red Mtn and inner Wallowas to the north - which we did not have. This "little" mountain does look a lot more impressive from the distance - we saw it from W. slopes of Red Mtn. the next day (see photos). Crater Lake to summit and back took us about 2.5 hrs. | ||

When we got to Crater lake snow started coming down and our planned climb to Red was not possible, but Krag Peak looked still doable, so Radek and I decided to give it a shot. Without packs we were able to move rather quickly, skirted some rocks NW of the lake before heading straight up to the ridge top which looked like the summit due to low visibility. Once on the ridge we could barely spot few other higher points. The ridge scramble was straightforward, first west then north over snow covered very loose rocks and scree we reached the summit. There were few exposed sections but we had no views. Came down the same way. The next day when the skies cleared we were impressed by the nice shape of the mountain. | ||

Released: Jan 01st, 1986
Running Time: 71
Director: Jack Remy
Company: Caballero
Jerry Butler, Harry Reems, Tom Byron, Christy Canyon, Marilyn Chambers, Traci Lords, Lacey Luv
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Feature
Any project that features Marilyn Chambers has the inside track to success; and Private Fantasies #6 is no exception. This time around, the offering contains four short subjects: cookie-peddling boy scouts, Kevin Gibson and Tom Byron, meet Marilyn, the ultimate customer; Marilyn gives her black gardener, Andre-Bolla, the ideal fringe benefit; Traci Lords entertains police detectives, Gibson and Jerry Butler, with some help from Lacey Luv; and finally, Marilyn indulges in kinky antics with an aristocratic couple and their butler, featuring the assistance of Christy Canyon, Harry Reems, and Jerry Butler.
Ironically, the best of the batch is the episode that does not feature Chambers, but rather showcases Traci Lords (looking as delectable as ever!). Pound-for-pound, it packs the hardest punch of erotic action delivered at an electrifying pace.
Only the boy scout episode is less than ideal. It features minute flaws in the audio overdubbing and its length (nearly 20 minutes) prevents it from maintaining peak levels of excitement.
On a whole, Marilyn Chambers' Private Fantasies #6 has the right combination of good sex coupled with technical craftsmanship to thoroughly entertain even the most stodgy viewer. Bring on Private Fantasies #7!

Hello, From A New Intern: Feminism, Felines, and Finding Intersectionality
Hi, GLSEN community. My name is Lucy, and I'll be working behind the scenes as a Communications Intern. As a self-identified feminist, and a queer woman with a girlfriend (and two cats) I love dearly, I look forward to bringing my pun-loving, nerd-grrrl feminism to GLSEN!
From a young age, my teacher mother instilled a deep appreciation of education, and its critical role in advocating for social change. Though she likely never would've placed her twenty-something-year-old daughter as a zinester or a feminist calendar art coordinator, I do know that she accepted my awkwardly rehearsed coming out monologue with a knowing eye roll and a: Well, yeah. I still expect grandchildren, you know. And for that, I count myself lucky.
But I haven't always been that lucky, and neither have been my closest loved ones. When you factor in that 1 in 3 women will be sexually assaulted, and another 1 in 3 women are currently restricting their caloric intake on a diet (regardless of body type or BMI), it becomes exceedingly clear women are bombarded by various levels of demeaning emotional and physical attacks that suggest 'we aren't good enough.' My interest in combating these messages, particularly aimed at young girls, prompted me to join a Peer Health Advocacy Program in college (where I specialized in lesbian health) and, upon seeing there was no such resource, to start my own feminist group. And you know who my greatest allies were? The LGBTQ community. From our very first meeting over coffee to our more trying campaigns to stage the first student-run burlesque show the campus had ever seen (which was a huge success, in case you were curious), the preexisting LGBT student group supported my feminist vision no matter how blurry or far-sighted it seemed at times. I am proud that both of my communities were able to harmonize effectively, but unfortunately, that isn't always the case.
I'd like to keep pushing for intersectionality, not just among LGBTQ activists and feminist activists, but amongst overlapping boundaries of ethnicity and race, and amongst class lines and differently abled bodies. I come from a background of political protest for gendered and sexual equality, but nowhere was intersectionality better expressed than in the international zine community. At around sixteen, a beautiful girl gave me a mixtape. It was on my bed, bent over a handwritten love note that I first heard Bikini Kill, and a world of teen grrrl angst, heart-and-soul-felt punk music, and cut n' paste zines opened itself up to me. It was through writing zines and trading them across the world—oftentimes receiving in turn a stapled publication scrawled in a language I could barely identify without the aid of an online translator—that my suburban experience was livened up by a chorus of uniquely different voices. Intersectionality means questioning and embracing the intersecting lines of our shared and unique oppressions, and addressing one another with a respectful awareness of such differences. A white man may appear to hold a great degree of social privilege, but if he is also transgender, differently-abled, and working-class, it is just as important to consider his intersectional lines of oppression as it is his dominance. In short: nothing is that easy. The feminist and LGBTQ rights movement have become unlikely bedfellows, but here I am! Just as the lesbian and the gay, and the bisexual and the transgender communities have had their own intersectional conflicts of identity, feminists and LGBTQ activists have plenty to be gained from working alongside one another and cohesion.
I look forward to working together, both as a GLSEN intern, and down the long road ahead of my personal brand of queer sexual health activism, peppered by my feminist upbringing. The feminist in me is excited to meet the lesbian and queer activist in me, and the other way around. GLSEN perfectly marries my own passion for youth activism and education, and it's a happy marriage. I'd love to see more happy marriages now, too. But before we can do anything, we need to support and advocate for our most vulnerable and most potentially powerful population: our marginalized youth.

Real signal downconversion (self.DSP)
submitted 2 years ago by munkeegutz
Hey r/DSP!
I'm trying to perform real-time analysis of a signal (which happens to be a pseudo-randomally generated frequency comb). I want to sample the amplitude and phase of each of these tones using a Polyphase Filter Bank (basically a super-FFT). I've already done that, but I'm having problems when the frequencies happen to be directly between filterbank channels. My solution is to mix the input signal down by 1/2 a filterbank-channel-width, and run two filterbanks, so I always have a sample near the middle of a channel.
actual question starts here I would like to know if there is an efficient way to downconvert a real signal by some small incremental signal. I don't care about the upper/lower 10% of the spectrum, and I'm okay if some small amount of leakage happens, as long as it's controllable.
Ideas: Convert to analytic signal (hilbert transform, two LPFs), mix with complex sinusoid, continue processing with complex FFT instead upsample, LPF, mix with real sinusoid, LPF, downsample, continue with real FFT (looks like this is just a more expensive version of #1)
anything else? Thanks guys!

You might try a variation on the Weaver modulator. It's normally used for single-sideband modulation but applies here as well.
1) Multiply the real input by a complex sinusoid at -fs/4. This applies a circular shift of your input spectrum such that the upper sideband of your input is now centered around DC.
2) Apply a low-pass filter with cutoff at +/- fs/4. Now everything but the upper sideband has been attenuated. This is basically a frequency-shifted equivalent of the Hilbert output.
3) Multiply by another complex sinusoid, at fs/4+f0 (where f0 is the amount of shift you originally wanted).
4) Discard the imaginary component of the result. Process using a duplicate of the original filter bank.
Edit: Fixed formatting.
[–]munkeegutz[S] 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Excellent, thank you very much. I'll do some research and report back :-)

It´s PvAll realism vs. PvE-only immersion breaking mode with some meaningless PvP option tacked on. We´ll see, probably they are taking the carebear friendly route like the other 123 casual MMOs.

"I would not call this game a hardcore MMO." - Terry Michaels If here is "FFA PvP", or even "FFA PvP with full loot", it will obviously be limited in a way or another, either to specific areas, but more likely, like they say a couple of years ago in another SoE Live, to a "Hardcore" server.

Originally posted by FoeHammerJT I chatted to a guy at SOE live last night who asked about this. They said the plots will be in the real world, not instanced, and if the area gets filled up they will just generate a new landmass for more. There will be areas in EQNext itself where you cant build so its not too cluttered like UO. The land itself so far is bigger than both EQ1 and EQ2 combined. As for PVP they said a few things of interest: First, when asked about balancing between PVE and PVP they replied that they were building the mobs in the exact same way they build the players, so they dont have those seperate balancing issues. Then when asked about the destructability he said imagine if a group of players in PVP are attacking your castle, and launch a boulder at it, you dont see a damage bar like in other games, you physically see the damage being done and can judge how much is done based on that. That implies they have WvW at least planned. Not much, but its encouraging. "When people don't know much about something, they tend to fill in the blanks the way they want them to be filled in. They are almost always disappointed." - Will Wright |
As long as I can be a Dark Elf Arsonist, can sneak into Rivervale, and can burn all the little halflings in their houses I will be happy.

Originally posted by Saxx0n I have to say after everything ive seen and read, I'm really surprised by these answers and that pvp will even exist. They made it seem like it would complicate the system they were designing in other interviews. I agree, he did seem that they have something up their sleeve. Wouldn't even be surprised if it was like I originally said weeks back where PvP will exist in some form on every server. In a game where your faction goes up and down based on your choices and they are enforcing player accountability, and where guilds and "rulers" of territories could condone or legitimize PvP combat (without necessarily affecting your overall reputation), theres huge opportunities for the introduction of complex pvp systems in EQ Next. |
Originally posted by SavageHorizon Actually SOE doesn't seem too worried about what the pve crowd thinks or wants. They weren't to worried about killing off the trinity, they didn't include high end raiding, put in action combat and there is no vertical progression/levels. Which has cause many fits of whining and crying here since Friday. They are making the game the way they think it should be. There will be a time and place to reveal the integrated pvp but this is not the time or place and I'm ok with that. edit - I seriously doubt it will be full loot and I and most pvpers don't care about that. Most of us don't even give a shit about ffa either. Most of us just want a good faction based system with territory control and meaning.
The main reason why they won't talk about PvP now, just like they won't take about player housing or crafting, is certainly because they are still working on those aspects and nothing is set in stone, and they don't want to give false information and/or false hopes. Originally posted by Saxx0n I agree with that.

I'll admit I could have fun with a good faction system... But not compromising the definition of sandbox I subscribe to, you should be able to attack anyone anywhere.. With major consequences for attacking your faction. Like you are banished and on your own, which would be brutal.
On the other hand... Abilities like the warrior whirlwind make me think it has to be faction based... Otherwise friendly fire would be unmanageable. |

Judging form the overall list of features we've seen EQN have, together with Dave's excitement of talking about the possibilities of PvP I somehow get semi-relieved. When their bringing so much new stuff to the table, would he be so excited over a classic, simple and repetetive battleground system, 10vs10 and CTF? I'm not so sure. Although, I realize that that might still exist in the game, as it should. But I feel that there is a lot more behind the curtains, all based on his excitement when PvP is brought up. They have somewhat successfully set the mood and excitement in everyones head so far, I'm sure they can think of something cool and original for PvP as well. |
Originally posted by DocBrody I will totally agree with you that the market is full of PvE games. Then you have to take a logical look at the market and wonder why... it shouldn't take to much logical thinking to make a conclusion. In a flooded market if nobody is going after the part of the Market that isn't flooded... why is that... The other problem is that people who want a PvP game base most of their online presence in doing one of two things... 1) being snarky to PvE Players 2) posting on forums The problem is not what people choose to do.. It is the fact that neither of those things is going to make a PvP game happen. A company has to decide they are willing to put down the 100 Million (or so) in development cost to make a AAA PvP game... so those companies need to have people talking to them (not posting on this forum) to convince them that there is enough market for that PvP game. Now if SOE when they talk about PvP in EQN suddenly mention FFA (meaning any kind of forced pvp even if its faction based intead of FFA etc) ... well that is great. However, it won't take much of a rocket scientist to also realize they will lose the majority of their potential PvE player base at that exact same time. Ultima Online in my mind was the greatest MMO ever made.... I loved FFA full loot PvP.. but there is no denying (unless you are just trying to be difficult) what the result of that system was on the player base. In a perfect world everyone could be happy.. but I don't see how that happens when anyone is having something forced on them that they don't enjoy (whether its PvE or PvP). Which means no matter how you cut it in order to retain the PvE players there has to be some sort of seperation.. or they (SOE) have to be happy with a niche playerbase. We'll just have to wait and see I guess... *edit* somehow part of an entirely different reply was mixed into this one. Moderator's on this site allow certain posters to create endless troll threads. Yet "warn" people for giving recommendations... account *pending* deletion because.. why bother. |
Originally posted by Lorgarn Nothing would ruin my interest in this game more than if the devs started mentioning their awesome instanced battlegrounds that we can queue up for at any time. Please. God. No. |
Originally posted by Fratman And nothing kills the interest for this game faster then open pvp for arguebly the majority of players. I have zero problems with the option to pvp nor having some pvp servers to go along with pve servers. I liked what Funcom did in AO and to a lesser extent in Aoc. Taking the AO excample.. most zones where 75% suppression gas, aka pve only, some areas ( ussually not even the entire zone) where 50% (faction based pvp) and 0% where you where pretty much able to attack everyone. |
Look at all the chaos on the forums just over what was revealed so far. Makes a lot of sense to me that they avoided talking about PVP... Maybe they will let the dust settle first.
Originally posted by Bidwood truth is they going to have to bite that bullet sooner or later, it will arguebly have the same end result on the people playing anyway. The majority of pve players wont play open pvp, infact the majority wont play without having the option to expose them selves and/or their creations to it. The majory of pvp players wont play it if there is no option to pvp. They will still play this even if the pvp is limited. And/or have a choise to play on a pvp server. Few pvps wil pass up on this game if pvp is restricted (in anyway) SOE will have to come out with that info sooner or later, the above wont change one way or another. That and.. knowing the above.. if you where a betting man.. we allready know where the smart money goes. |
As I stated earlier in this thread SOE is not to concerned about upsetting pve players with all core game changes and the massive amount of crying going on just in these forums alone. SOE is making the game they want not what the pve masses want and from Georgeson's reaction pvp will play quite a role in EQN.
people cry about games theses days regardless, no matter what you do. however they are taking some pretty big chances by completely changing what everquest is in almost every way. i will not be surprised by what they will do with pvp at this point, there could be a ffa full loot pvp system and it wouldn't surprise me one bit. especially if there are multiple server rulesets. |
Originally posted by baphamet That would be the smart money. Multple server rulesets.Not that it will stop people from complaining.. but then again.. what does? :P It would definately work rather well that the role pvp (or pve) has in the game if its set by server specivic rule sets, The world on a pvp server would be effected largely by pvp, and on a pve server pvp would effect the game little to not at all. I can see how that may be tricky to impliment but thats probebly the only way they can appease the masses. If pvp will have a big role in the game, granted on how DOES it effect the game/world, it will definately keep the majority out. |

The Fracking Tales Of Natural Gas Producers 11 comments
There is a controversy on shale gas. Natural gas (NYSEARCA:UNG) producers love to boast the high productivity of their shale wells. Some claim that they could still make a profit even at current ridiculously low gas prices. But the data speaks otherwise.
Fracking Tales Meet The Reality
Recently USGS published report OF12-1118 which surveyed the EUR (Estimated Ultimate Recovery) of gas wells in 132 different natural gas resource areas. The USGS numbers released are very damning to the rosy claims made by NG producers over the years. Let us look at the numbers for the top US shale plays below:
The Shale Shock Media called the report a Huge Fracking Surprise and had this to say:
Southwestern Energy (NYSE:SWN) and Chesapeake Energy (NYSE:CHK) claim average EUR's in the Fayetteville of 2.4-2.6 Bcf. The Powers Energy Investor, an industry publication stated:
"To put into perspective how ridiculous Chesapeake's claims of 2.6 Bcf is, consider the following: of the company's 742 operated wells completed on the Fayetteville, only 66 have produced more than one Bcf and none have produced more than 1.7 Bcf. Chesapeake's average Fayetteville well has produced only 541 Mcf."
The USGS confirms these numbers again with the average EUR for Fayetteville wells coming in at 1.1 Bcf, significantly lower than 2.4-2.6.
Critics like Arthur Berman, Chris Neddler, or any one who cared to study the real shale gas production data already know that the NG industry exaggerated the productivity of they shale wells. The data does not lie. Here is a quick statistics of all major US shale plays:
Taking the cumulative volume of shale gas produced and dividing it by number of wells in each play, the results are far below the EURs that the NG industry claimed for these shale plays:
- Barnett: 0.663 BCF. CHK projected EUR of 2.65 BCF per well.
- Fayetteville: 0.673 BCF. CHK calculated an EUR of 2.4 BCF.
- Marcellus PA: 0.662 BCF. But Southwestern Energy (SWN) pitched EURs of 6.00 BCF or higher.
- Haynesville: 2.63 BCF/well. But Goodrich Petroleum (NYSE:GDP) pitched EURs as high as 8.6 BCF per well.
Overall, for all US shale plays, there are 35,996 production wells with an accumulated shale gas production of 22,971 BCF. The average is only 0.638 BCF. At current gas price of $3.40/mmBtu, 0.638 BCF of gas is worth $2.17M. That is only a fraction of the costs of drilling a well and brining it into production.
Shale Gas Is Neither Cheap Nor Abundant
Decades after the NG industry venture into shale gas development, the industry has spent more than half a trillion dollars and developed 36,996 shale wells, averaging more than $13.5M per well total cost. The industry only had 23 TCF of shale gas production to speak for the money spend. That amount of gas is less than one year of US consumption, and is worth only $78B at today's gas price.
I believe it is conclusive that shale gas is non-economical at current gas price environment. The industry might be able to pitch a few exceptionally good wells drilled at sweet spots, but the overall performance of the entire shale gas industry is dismay.
Implications to Investors
As I always said, if you invest in NG producers, you need to do your own due diligence study. You cannot take the well performance claims of the producers at face value.
If shale gas cannot be produced cheaply, price must go a lot higher to allow some producers to make a decent profit. That means the current low price of NG is only temporary. NG cannot compete with coal in the long term.
I believe investors should switch away from the NG sector, and switch to the coal sector. Do you notice that investor put 75 times more investment capitals in the NG sector versus the coal sector? I think this is one of the biggest investment portfolio imbalances in the history of energy investment. Money was put in the wrong sector. This means huge investment opportunity for people willing to stick to coal, when naysayers claim that NG is replacing coal.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

The author has made a good case. This is not a good time to be in NG producer stocks. I also suspect that NG will decline for a number of weeks (shaking out the longs), before resuming it's upward march. As Mark pointed out, the producers need higher prices to make profit on the shale plays. They will eventually get them but it won't be overnight. I will be a buyer below 2.90. Of course, winter weather can change everything. The coal stocks are looking stronger but I still am wary of JRCC when there are many healthier coal stocks to choose from. I don't think we are going to see any more significant pullbacks in the coal sector and any pullbacks can be bought with confidence.
CNX answered a question on the quarterly earnings call today stating that teir average EUR for PA Marcellus was 8.5 BCF, and their average well cost was $6.5MM, and stating a well cost of $0.75/MCF. They said that Ohio Utica wells are deper and more expensive, but more productive and cost about $1.25/mcf to drill. You may want to listen to this call. One more question - How do you acount for wells which have been drilled, but are shut in waiting for pipeline capacity? -
2. They have exceptionally LONG laterals -
Answerining a question on tday's quarterly earnings call for CNX, Brett Harvey CEO stated that the average eur for their marcellus wellswas 8.5BCF and the cost of an average well was $6.5MM, giving a capita cost of $0.75/mcf. The Utica wells cost more and produce more, but average $1.25/mcf to drill those wells.Plase listen to the call and see if you get the same thought.

Thread: One More Time for Baby Girl!
March 7th, 2013 12:16 PM #66
I just wanted to mention, Ottilie, that I'm covering a class for a co-worker right now and one of the students is named Zenobia! I had said it sounded like a cranky old aunt, but now that I see it on a real person, I think it's adorable! She is the most beautiful teenager I've ever seen! She goes by ZeZe and Bia. I think the nn might be what swayed me.

I hadn't checked this thread in a while because I honestly thought it was just people complimenting your name list! But now that you've changed it up a bit, here's my new favorites order:
1. Rosalind Illyra Isolde
2. Daphne Hespera Beatrice (prefer ever so slightly)/Daphne Hespera Arden
3. Fiammetta Ophelia Elaine
4. Cressida Charis Amoret
5. Zenobia Viola Marian or Zenobia Nerissa Marian or Zenobia Miranda Marian♥ Henry John, Charles Wesley
♥ Eleanor Lily, Margaret Jane

dindle, haha, yeah I'd like five little girls. I love that you've met a Zenobia! ZeZe is cute as a bug. Bia too!
Emma, I do like Zenobia Viola Ondine quite a bit actually. But where does my Marian go? And Joy and Dawn does sound good with Rosa.
Garnet, yeah I'm just begging for praise... Thanks for the ranking![FONT=Palatino Linotype][CENTER]My darling Marian Illyria Aphrodite, March 2013 & Little Bunny (a girl!) due 9th of February 2014[/CENTER][/FONT]

Rosalind Illyria Eirlys ("snowdrop" as you know, and I like how it echoes Illyria) Come to think of it..
Rosalind Illyria Echo
Rosalind Illyria Clemency
Rosalind Illyria Nyneve (Lady o.t. Lake)
Rosalind Illyria Cybele
Rosalind Illyria Villanelle
Rosalind Illyria Fern
Rosalind Illyria Maris (previously mentioned by Blade, in lieu of Marian)
Rosalind Illyria Mariel (or Meriel, or Marian actually, though it does repeat the IA.)
Also, congratulations on your upcoming nuptials! How excellent.
Most importantly, do you have a dress?! ;-) I imagine you in a silvery spiderweb veil with a necklace of dewdrops, like Anita Louise as Titania in the old musical.
March 7th, 2013 03:19 PM #74
I left it by the sowing machine...
On to business:
I vote Arden. It is 'unisex' in that it is the name of a forest, but its quasi-homophonous with 'ardent' and 'garden,' as well as being Shakespearean.
With Rosalind, I do like Isolde [though like Yseult or Ysolde even more]-- though so many of emma's suggestions were amazing, especially Meriel & Eirlys. Perhaps Clemence, as opposed to Clemency? Rosalind Illyria Clemence?
For Zenobia, if you'd like Marian as-is then Nerissa for sure; otherwise I do like the alliteration of Zenobia Miranda Maris [seems to work better with 2 syllables at the end rather than 3].Blade, MD

Re: Man over board
First rule is stay on board - MOB is not as easy as it looks, and requires a well-practiced helmsman.
Lifesling works best, but you need to know how to set it up. We set it up to the main halyard; I always worry about setting up to the boom, as I am not sure if the topping lift can be trusted in this situation.
Also note that there are two lifesling tackle options, 3:1 and 5:1. The 3:1 relies on a winch - it is what I have, and works very well for lighter weight/weaker rescuers.
There are other options. On many boats the swim ladder is not an option - mine is tough enough in calm conditions, but in a new Catalina with a swim platform, that can work. We also tried running a docking line from a cleat to a winch, the person stands on it while they are winched up; that works, but the person in the water needs to be very alert.
Given your concerns - and likely your wife's - the best thing to do is to practice. Try a few things out; if both you and she are comfortable with a technique, it will give you both peace of mind.
And don't fall off the boat!

When High School Musical star Corbin Bleu boarded the Oasis of the Seas for a Make-A-Wish fundraiser Monday, he knew he was in store for some serious fan flattery. And while being chased by paparazzi and fans may not be completely foreign to Bleu, how about a high-speed chase at sea by a bigtime fan in a wheelchair? After a meet and greet with three Make-A-Wish kids and their families at the Oasis's Seafood Shack, Bleu was spotted by a little boy confined to a wheelchair. But don't feel bad for Tony from Wichita, another Make-A-Wish kid flown in specifically to meet Bleu. He clearly makes his own wishes come true. According to our seaworthy spies, little Tony "hits the button on his electric wheelchair and takes off like a bat out of hell" after Bleu. When the chair came to a screeching halt in front of the High School Musical star, instead of calling security like some tools would, Bleu got down on the kid's level and started chatting. After catching this, all the other kids followed. Bleu spent most of his free time right there and later behind closed doors with all his fans and their families. Refreshingly real. Also pretty cool, we hear, was Dancing With the Stars' Karina Smirnoff, who also spent time with fans and Make-A-Wish kids, posing with them in various ballroom dance-y poses. And in other news, we think Sylvester Stallone actually moved his face to smile at Art Basel today.

Biography's History In England Explored
Richard Holmes is editing a new series of classic English biographies. The first titles cover three centuries: there is Defoe on the criminals Jack Sheppard and Jonathan Wild, representing the early 18th century. There is Southey on Nelson. And there is a curious rarity, The Portait of Zelide, by Geoffrey Scott, first published in 1925. This is about a highly educated Dutch woman with whom both Boswell and (later) Benjamin Constant fell in love. The titles to follow are Johnson on Savage (the celebrated life of the hopelessly self-destructive poet, itself the subject of a book by Holmes), Godwin on Wollstonecraft and Gilchrist on Blake. The publisher is Harper Perennial.
Biography in English has a long and rich tradition, much more extensive and interesting than many of the standard accounts would have you believe. The other day I turned to Bishop Burnet's life of the poet Rochester, expecting it to be dull with piety. Read as an account of the last conversations, in his lucid moments, of a man dying of syphilis, it was convincing and vivid.
The word biography dates from the 17th century. It was pioneered by Dryden. The word autobiography is an invention by Robert Southey (Nelson's biographer) in the early 19th century. (Previous terms for the same thing include self-biography and idiography.) The term"life-writing", which has recently been revived in academe, does have its uses, covering popular narratives which have hitherto been somewhat ignored. But it sounds affected to me, rather as if one were to drop the term"portraiture" in favour of the earlier"face-painting".
Still, the fact is that the Greeks and Romans (from whom the art derives) did not write biographies. They wrote lives. They wrote them about good people and about bad people. The distinction - between eulogy or panegyric (that is, a speech in praise of an individual) and a life - is very old. Johnson told Boswell that"a man's intimate friend should mention his faults, if he writes his life". And elsewhere, defending his own work, he said that it was"the duty of a biographer to state all the failings of a respectable character". But there were limits, even for Boswell, who filed some of what he learned about Johnson's sexual arrangements under the heading Tacenda - things to be kept quiet about.
Previous generations of historians paid scant attention to whole classes of biography, such as the slave narratives, believing them to have no evidential value. And if you look at what writers of the Bloomsbury generation said about biography you will discover that a great wealth of material is ignored because it falls outside some narrow or foolish definition. For instance you will find them telling you that English biography flourished in the late 17th century, but then went into abeyance until Boswell. They only say this because they are ignoring the popular genre of short journalistic lives, including notorious figures such as highwaymen, pirates and jailbirds.
No doubt it was for this reason that Holmes took care to include Daniel Defoe early in his series. What you find in the volume called Defoe on Sheppard and Wild is three of these brief and entertaining narratives. Shep pard was an accomplished jail-breaker, whose true story inspired the creation of MacHeath in The Beggar's Opera. Wild was a fence who specialised in a business of returning stolen property, at a price, to its owners. Exactly how the scam worked is explained in vivid detail. The beauty of having Sheppard and Wild in the same volume is that Wild was responsible for the recapture of Sheppard. In The Beggar's Opera , he becomes Peachum.

You've got to love the balls out, unpolished, New York attitude of this vid. It's fucking cold, it's fucking crowded nad the home teams is fucking well… fucking. There is no prissiness here. The team fucks some place public until they get caught, then they move on to the next drive-by-porking. Sometimes the video quality suffers for the theme, but it's a definite stocker.

Day 12
... stop was the amphitheater a truly spectacular sight where they still perform opera and ballet. They really built things to last here!!! Final stop in Verona was the Giardino Giusti gardens which were created at the end of the 15th century and from the top offer a beautiful panorama of Verona. All in all I think Verona has been the place I have enjoyed the most in Italy. Off to Switzerland ...
Day 11
This is the last leg of our Italian adventure. Left Venice this morning by water taxi from our hotel to the train station. After a short train journey arrived in Verona. Our hotel is a beautifully converted palazzo very grand!!! Of course we had to explore the shops first although shock and horror there is no Prada!! Very strange when there has been several in every other city we have stayed. So we crossed the oldest roman bridge in Verona Ponte pietra ...
A city of balconies
... a tiny courtyard. I'm sorry to say the house actually has no connection with the Shakespeare tale and the balcony was added in 1936 for tourists. The entry walls are littered with love notes on bits of scrap paper and stuck to the wall, some times with gum. In 2012 there were big finds issued for littering, but it hasn't stopped people. There is a bronze statue of Juliet in the courtyard and visitors rub ...
An Unexpected Gem
... to the historic arena, locked up the gear and
started to stroll. We had a coffee in a pavement caf� in front of
the arena, and wandered down the shopping streets until we came
across the market square. More coffee, or maybe beer followed.
Every street we turned down led to a hidden square, fabulous old
architecture or something else of interest. This city proved to be
the unexpected gem of the holiday and it was a pity we did not have
more time.
Desanzano & Sirmione
... the old castle
gates and another bar or two. At the end of a lovely day, we hiked
back to the hotel and sat on the roof top watching the sun drop in
the sky while drinking Prosecco. Our evening meal was in the pizza
restaurant near the hotel again. Unfortunately the friendly waiter
was not there again.
Having waited ten years
to see the Italian lakes, we were not disappointed. What a wonderful
