Live In The Cipher Review: The Game - The R.E.D. AlbumTuesday, 23 August 2011 22:52
The R.E.D. Album is the fourth studio released project from California MC The Game. There is a misconception about the title of the album being R.E.D., the assumption was that it was inspired by his blood gang affiliation. In an interview with MTV News (click for more), Game clears up the misconception by stating the album title was derived from him being "rededicated to hip hop, family, Compton, and rededicated to everything"
Game has always been a controversial MC, who is not afraid to speak his mind and go against some of the heavyweights in the rap game. After giving the hip hop world three quality albums, The Documentary, Doctors Advocate, and LAX, can The R.E.D. Album keep up the streak of good music from The Game? With features from Dr. Dre, Kendrick Lamar, Snoop Dogg, Lil Wayne, Tyler the Creator, and Chris Brown, to name a few from the quality list of featured artists. Will the R.E.D. Album deliver and meet expectations or fall short and disappoint? Tune in at 9 pm est/6 pm pst and you be the judge along with the Live In The Cipher team.

Special Guest: FLY RAH
Nestled in the heart of New Jersey, one man aspires to be one of hip hop's greatest MC's and become a force in Hip Hop. Straight out of the bowels of Plainfield, New Jersey, Rashaan "Fly Rah" O'Neal is determined to turn his street dreams into a reality. Fly Rah fell in love with Hip Hop as soon as his ears tuned into beats and later the rhymes.
Where did the name Fly Rah come from? "Growing up in the hood, my crew was the flyest dudes from our area. We see FLY as anything considered to be positive and that's how we were recognized.", states Fly Rah.
Just three years ago, he decided to take his hobby of rhyming seriously. At the age of twenty three, Fly Rah is now starting his third career as one of the most respected MC's to come out of New Jersey. "My Mentor, Alain Sajous encouraged me to pursue my talent when he heard me playing one of the songs I had recently recorded in the shop. From there the rest is history", states Fly Rah, visionary and owner of one of Plainfield's most prestigious Barber Shops. Turning his cutting customers into party goers, Fly Rah then turned them again into loyal followers.
When asked about his style of rap, Fly Rah states, "I look at myself as a MC. I just try to stay true to what I'm feeling. I rap about my life experiences and the things I observe around me. I don't like to be called a Rapper though. Rappers are more like people who don't care too much about the art of music. They put words together just to match. MC's think about the concept from the beginning to end of a song. MC's make beautiful music".
Starting out as the leader in a group of fellow artists, the trio called themselves FLYKLUB. The group has made strides to make their mark in the industry, rocking every club in the tri-state area. Collectively the group released four mix tapes, STREET TEAM TAKEOVER, EAGLE EYE, DARK OF THE MOON and POINT TO PROVE.
STREET TEAM TAKEOVER was released in 2010 "We sold over 4,000 mix tapes in two weeks. That's when I realized the group's potential. We took off and running in the musical direction from there", recalls Fly Rah. Their follow up, EAGLE EYE was dropped in the summer of 2011. At the top of 2012, the group dropped the mix tape entitled, DARK OF THE MOON. Anticipation of their newest tape POINT TO PROVE has received great feedback from the fans who love their new single "SAUCED RIGHT NOW".
Collaboration with fellow artists on the single has made the mixtape the most talked about collection ready to hit the streets. How do you feel about the mix tape? "I love it. It's very versatile. We have so many different styles and swag. We got everything. This mix tape is hard", states Fly Rah.
When asked one fan states, "The chemistry between all of them is magical. When you listen to the other mix tapes, you can hear the growth within the music with every mix tape they drop".
Fly Rah's biggest musical influences are Jay-Z, TuPac, Biggie Smalls, Fab, DipSet, and more. To date Fly Rah has had the opportunity to open up for Artists such as Cassidy; French Montana; Joe Budden; Wacka Flocka, Vado, Plies and Noreaga (Hot 97 Showcase) to name a few.

Don't Hate The Player Hate The Game| Special Guest: Author Mr. R. Paige SmithFriday, 05 September 2014 07:34
Topic: Don't Hate The Player Hate The Game!!!!
Have you ever surprisingly went over to your significant others house after being out of town and you notice all of your personal belongings is nicely hidden away in the closet. Or, when you call their phone several times and they don't answer. Only to hear the following excuses "My phone was on vibrate and I forgot to take it off".
Do those things sound familiar? Let's take it a step further do you remember the times when you use to tell your significant other that you were working late at the office? Only to find out years later after giving up your players card and meeting someone new that person is giving you the same exact excuses. They say game recognizes game therefore is it alright for a woman to treat a man the same way he treats her? Should society look at her differently? What about when it comes to sex, is it alright for a woman to date or have sex with multiple men? What about when it comes to matters of the heart can men handle the reverse game?

Qt 4.5 Marches Forward with First Release Candidate
Nokia issued its first release candidate for Qt 4.5 that includes, among other things, translucent widgets.
Since KDE developers gave a preview of some of the enhancements in Qt 4.5 at the Akademy 2008 conference in Belgium, Nokia is now ready to release the first candidate, which is under GPL. The announcement also mentions that the LGPL version of the C++ framework should be ready by the final release in March 2009.
Among the most important enhancements are faster Qt 4.5 applications, website rendering using WebKit and Mac OS Cocoa 64-bit support. The version also includes the new Qt Script Debugger and promises translucent widgets under X11, thanks to the ARGB color model. Not least of all was work done on GTK+ integration.
The Qt website has more details on what's new in Qt 4.5.

Style: Dazzle Slowly
Stylish men move just a heartbeat more slowly than the ho-hum majority. Your Uncle Ned is fidgety; Cary Grant was graceful and at ease. Woody Allen is frantic; Johnny Depp, even as the gaudy Captain Jack, seems to have a private cadence in his head.
Style moves with dispatch, but never rushes. It doesn't scurry or blurt things out. Its wisdom won't wilt while waiting.
The wile known as style may require a barely-there across-the-board deceleration. Walk just a little less quickly. Talk as though people will give your thoughts some time. Never hurry wine into a glass, or beer into a mug. Even loosen your tie with languor.
Style savors the journey, not just the destination. Remember the age-old wisdom: He who has command of others is powerful, but he who has command of himself is mighty.

Spokane, WA (November 23, 2012) -- The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor men's basketball team fought back from a double-digit second-half deficit, but the Cru's comeback bid fell short in a 70-61 loss to Whitworth University Friday evening in Spokane, Washington. The loss drops UMHB's record to 1-1 on the season. The 14th-ranked Pirates even their record at 1-1 on the year with the victory.
The Cru fell behind by nine points at 24-15 with 6:24 left in the first half, but outscored the Pirates 9-2 in that final stretch to cut it to 26-24 at the half. UMHB scored the first four points of the second half and pushed the lead to three points at 31-28 1:34 into the second half. Whitworth retook the lead and built a 64-54 advantage with 2:43 left to play. A Kitrick Bell lay-up and three free-throws from James Allen and Thomas Orr pulled the Cru to within five at 64-59, but that's as close as UMHB would get as the Pirates iced the game from the free-throw line.
Orr led the Cru with 17 points and Bell posted a double-double with 12 points and 11 rebounds. Allen also reached double figures with 11 points for UMHB. The Cru out rebounded Whitworth 40-33 but shot just 5-21 from three-point range and 36 percent from the field.
Dustin McConnell scored a game-high 18 points to lead Whitworth and Colton McGargar added 13 more off the bench. Mack Larkin and George Valle chipped in 12 points apiece for the Pirates. Whitworth shot 45 percent from the field and went 9-26 from beyond the arc in the victory.
The UMHB men will close out the Washington swing with a 4:00 PM Central Time tip-off at Whitman College on Sunday. The Cru will then face Trinity University in a non-conference road game next Wednesday night before returning home to open American Southwest Conference play at home against LeTourneau University next Saturday.

After World War II, wolves were present in all forested parts of Romania and numbered over 4,000 animals. However, excessive livestock depredation occurred and as a result in 1955, the government launched a campaign to control wolf numbers.
Intensive hunting, trapping, searching for wolf dens to kill the pups, and particularly the use of poison, reduced wolves to a low level up until the late sixties.
By 1967, the wolf population had declined to about 1,500 and only the remoteness of the mountains and the increasing number of deer and wild boar saved the wolf from even further decline.
Due to the fact that other species, such as brown bears, wild boar, and birds of prey, also suffered from poisoning, the use of poison was forbidden in 1991.
Until then, the wolf population had continued to increase slowly and, according to official numbers, reached about 3,100 individuals in 1996. This represents about 30% of all European wolves west of Russia.

She just doesn't know how to quit you, bro. Jersey Shore's preeminent love birds Sammi and Ronnie were caught canoodling outside a hotel in New Jersey today on this, the first day of filming for JS's new season. Call us crazy, but we're pretty certain that kiss is the real deal. After seeing their relationship unfold almost entirely in public, we think it's fair to say these guys are basically our generation's Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Or they definitely are, seeing as how virtually no one who watches Jersey Shore will understand or care about that reference.
Maybe we're the only ones that didn't see this coming, but we were 99% certain these two were over and done and had already moved on as of last year. "We are not together," Sammi declared in October after the gang had returned from their fourth season abroad in Italy. During this spring's Jerseyliciousfifth season, Sam and Ron were so laid-back about their love, we…well, we assumed they had quietly broken up and the show just didn't get into it. How could we not think that? Remember how insane their relationship was in the third season? Remember The Incident With Sammi's Glasses? We still wake up in a cold sweat just thinking about it, but good luck, you two! It's like everyone says: sixth season's the charm!

Drops and jets of liquids that are miscible with the surrounding bulk liquid are present in many processes. Although the interactions of immiscible drops and jets show similarities to miscible systems, the small, transient interfacial tension associated with miscible systems create distinct outcomes such as intricate droplet shapes, break-up resistant jets, and spreading sessile drops. Experiments have been conducted to understand several basic multiphase flow problems involving miscible liquids including the free-surface pendant drops resulting from drop impaction and the dissolution of sessile drops in a miscible bath. Using high-speed imaging of the morphological evolution of the flows, we show that these processes are controlled by interfacial tensions. Further multiphase flows include investigating miscible jets, which allow the creation of fibers and tubular shapes from inelastic materials that are otherwise difficult to process due to capillary breakup. This work shows that stabilization from the diminishing interfacial tensions of the miscible jets allow various elongated morphologies to be formed. When combined with a mechanism to freeze these fibers, highly oriented materials can be created.

Minorities are still under-represented in the senior ranks, but improvements are in the pipeline.
By John Rice
How many minority senior executives work at your firm? If the answer is none, you are not alone: only 3 percent of the senior management at major companies is African-American, Hispanic or Native American.
In October 2006, The New York Times ran an article and pictorial on the cover of its business section titled "It Pays to Have Pals in Silicon Valley," focusing on PayPal's founders and their key lieutenants since they sold the company to eBay Inc. in 2002. The article highlighted their fascinatingly broad web of influence—they spawned well-known technology start-ups such as YouTube Inc., LinkedIn Inc. and Yelp Inc. and led major venture capital firms and hedge funds that financed these startups and (I would bet) many other companies and philanthropic initiatives. There was not an African-American, Hispanic or female face in the bunch.
The PayPal story illustrates that one's career trajectory and sphere of influence are not only a function of talent and relevant work experience, but also are driven by less tangible factors such as timely exposure to opportunities, mentoring and access to networks of high-performing peers and more experienced professionals. The story also suggests that to change the face of Silicon Valley's leadership and that of other industries, our approach needs to be significantly more comprehensive than it has been to date.
In 2001, the Boston Consulting Group conducted an analysis of the key choke points for minorities along the pipeline to senior management, which was recently updated by management and technology consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton. While African-Americans, Hispanics and Native Americans represent more than 25 percent of the U.S. population, the study showed that they make up only 14 percent of graduates from leading undergraduate institutions, obtain only 6 to 7 percent of the fast-track entry-level business jobs post-college, comprise only 8 percent of students at the major MBA programs and represent only a tiny percentage of senior executives at major corporations.
How do we broaden the minority leadership pipeline? While one-off initiatives such as career fairs, fellowships, conferences and event sponsorships can be helpful, they are not solutions. All have been around for many years and we are still struggling with this issue.
I founded Management Leadership for Tomorrow (MLT, www.ml4t.org) to drive toward a long-term solution. MLT has created a talent development system that prepares minorities to achieve at the highest levels at the pivotal transitions points on the road to executive positions: high school to college, college to early career, early career to MBA and ultimately mid-career to senior management.
MLT's high-touch, high-tech programming model equips our fellows with the key ingredients for high achievement: the hard and soft skills, early exposure to opportunities, a clear roadmap for success, door opening relationships, coaching and mentoring at key junctures and access to the organizations that develop leadership talent. MLT's partner organizations—including Citigroup Inc., The Goldman Sachs Group Inc., McKinsey & Co., PepsiCo, General Electric Co. and Google Inc., as well as all of the top graduate business schools—actively participate in the professional development of MLT's participants. MLT develops and delivers its curriculum in conjunction with these bar-setting organizations, many of whom lead intensive "day-in-the-life boot camps" and skill development workshops.
MLT's partners help prepare the talent pipeline, build meaningful relationships, and then recruit our fellows into fast-track positions. In fact, more than 90 percent of our undergraduate career preparation program fellows receive full-time offers, and MLT is now the number one source of minority talent at the top 10 business schools. Nearly 40 percent of Harvard and Wharton Business School students are MLT alumni.
There is still so much work to be done toward our long-term goal of doubling the number of minority senior leaders in corporations, entrepreneurial ventures and non-profit organizations. It will take 10 to 15 years to see the full impact, when this generation of leaders populates the executive suites of the nation's top corporations. When there is a critical mass of minority leaders who have the skills, experience, relationships, capital and commitment to be change agents within their organizations and their communities, we will have reached our goal.
How can your organization accelerate solutions to these challenges?
1. Take a Strategic Approach
Approach diversity with the same level of strategic and tactical rigor with which your firm approaches the development and delivery of its core products/services. Assess what drives recruiting return on investment (ROI) for your firm, however you define it. Make a long-term commitment to those initiatives that meet the ROI bar and then eliminate those that do not. Invest in opportunities that have potential to broaden your talent pipeline rather than just give you access to the existing pool.
For example, one MLT partner in the financial services industry evaluates ROI for each of its diversity-related investments over both the short and the long term:
For the short term they evaulate:
And for the long-term:
As a result of this analysis, this organization has scaled down certain investments that were not driving incremental value and has invested more resources (both financial and personnel) in those that were creating value, in order to maximize their potential return.
2. Define Success
Develop a deep understanding of what it takes to be successful in your organization and how that affects the success of your diversity recruiting and retention efforts. Many of MLT's corporate partners understand what it takes to be "great" and how that influences recruiting and retention practices. A smaller number of our partners are now seeking candid feedback directly from our Fellows. (e.g., What can we do better to attract and retain top talent? What factors influence your decision to commit, stay or leave to pursue other opportunities?)
3. Get C-Level Buy-In
Commit at the highest levels to address those factors that make it difficult for you to attract and retain the best talent. Don't expect it to happen just because you have staff focused on diversity, or a diversity task force in your organization. Those corporations that recognize that it takes a senior executive to champion these efforts will be the most successful. The people who are driving the talent acquisition and retention efforts must themselves understand what it takes to get to the senior level if they are to be effective in helping those professionals navigate the path to senior management.
John Rice is Founder and CEO of Management Leadership for Tomorrow (MLT), a non-profit organization that prepares minorities for success at top-tier companies and business schools.

Marinating Venison and Deer Meat Tutorial
Marinating Venison & Deer Meat – Overview
Marinating Venison and deer meat is a simple process that when done properly, will produce a wonderfully tasting and delectable meal for all occasions. Follow the follow guide for information on how to marinate venison and other tough to eat meats. The process of marinating does not have to be difficult, so read on for more information!
Science Behind Marinating Venison & Deer Meats
Marinating venison and other meats serve two different functions: as a tenderizer and a flavor enhancer. You probably already know that some tough cuts of meat benefit from the tenderizing effects of marination, but how does it exactly work? The cooking process itself turns connective tissues into gelatin to varying degrees. Depending on the cut and type of meat, it may need a little assistance to bring it to a palatable range of tenderness. To do this, certain plant and fungi enzymes and acids can break down muscle and connective proteins in meats – which is why marinating venison is so important.
History of Marinating Venison & Other Meats
As far back as pre-Columbian Mexico, cooks found that wrapping meats in papaya leaves before cooking made for more tender results. The active enzyme in the papaya leaves is papain, now refined from papayas and commercially available. Connective tissue that comes in direct contact with the protein-digesting enzymes gets broken down. These tenderizing enzymes also reduce the capability of the meat to hold its juices, resulting in greater fluid loss and thus drier meat. Enzymes are heat activated at levels between 140 and 175 degrees F. and deactivated at the boiling point, so it really serves no purpose other than flavoring to let meat sit in a marinade at room temperature. In fact, refrigeration is recommended while marinating venison and other meats to avoid the growth of harmful bacteria. Let meat come to room temperature before cooking.
Marinating Venison & Other Meats Requires Contact
Direct contact is the important point while marinating venison, since it is necessary for the chemical reaction to occur. This means that soaking a piece of deer meat in a marinade will only penetrate just so far into the surface of the meat. If you marinate a large cut of meat in a tenderizing marinade, you end up with a mushy exterior and an unaffected center. Puncturing the meat for the marinade to penetrate gives an uneven result, with the further undesirable side effect of allowing the meat to lose even more juices while cooking. Thus, flat cuts of meat benefit most from tenderizing marinades.
Steps to Follow When Marinating Venison
Place the deer meat in a heavy zip-top bag with the air squeezed out and turn it often to be sure all surfaces benefit from the marinade. Some slaughterhouses now inject papain into the animals just before slaughtering. The injected papain is carried through the bloodstream to all parts of the animal and is later activated by the cooking process. This sometimes results in a mushy piece of meat due to the enzyme destroying too much of the muscle fiber firmness. The newest method being researched is a machine which immerses tough cuts of meat into a water bath and then sends a shockwave through the meat, breaking down tough fibers. Toughness is meat is determined by a number of things, the length of the muscle, the age of the animal, nutrition, time of the rut, etc. If you are presented with a tough piece of meat, there are ways to make it more palatable. Tenderizing actually requires that you break up or soften the muscle fibers, which you can do either physically or chemically.
Eliminating "Gamey Flavoring" By Marinating Venison
The distinct game flavor of either birds or animals will be milder after marinating venison or other meat overnight in the refrigerator in either a salt or vinegar solution. To use this method, follow these general rules of thumb:
Salt solution - one tablespoon per quart of cold water
Vinegar solution - one cup per quart of cold water
Use enough solution to cover the venison completely and discard the solution after soaking.
Coca-Cola solution:
Soaking the deer meat in Coca Cola for 2 to 4 hours or overnight in the fridge is another marinating venison you have. The acid in the Coke dissolves or neutralizes the wild game taste. Wash meat thoroughly before cooking. You can also marinate game to give it a savory flavor or to tenderize it. Always marinate it in the refrigerator (1 to 2 days for birds; 3 to 5 days for game animals). Boil used marinade before basting meat as it cooks or using as a sauce on the cooked meat. Discard any uncooked leftover marinade.
Use buttermilk on the animals that are really gamey and soaking it overnight in the 'fridge and the next day, pour off, and just WIPE and PAT the meat, don't rub.
Marinating Venison & Deer Meat – Conclusion
Marinating venison and other tough meats is essential in order to produce a palatable meal. We hope this information in our guide was useful to you, and that you continue to visit VenisonHQ for all your Venison needs. Good luck with marinating venison and continue to visit us for other how-to's and guides on cooking with Venison.

The 2011-12 season was a good one for Bieksa. While still playing a shutdown role alongside Dan Hamhuis, he set a career-high in points with the third 40+ point season of his career. In addition, he finally succumbed to PITB's omnipresent pressure and joined Twitter, giving Canucks fans what would end up being the second best Canuck player Twitter account.
His interviews this season were legendary, such as the Milk Hot Dog Interview and the one in which the interviewer mistook him for Ryan Kesler and Bieksa ran with it. Then there was the time he threw a glove at Cal Clutterbuck. Basically, Bieksa had a hilarious season off the ice that also happened to be highly successful on the ice.
Along the way, he scored 8 goals. When we take a look at all 8, I think you'll agree: Bieksa Real Good!Continue Reading —›

The Fisher family is working to save what they can from their mobile home Wednesday. That's after it was blown 15 feet of its foundation during storms Tuesday night, according to the Franklin County Sheriff's Office.
The home is just off Highway 64 near Mulberry, about three miles from the Crawford County line, Sheriff Anthony Boen said.
Paul Fisher was at work when the storm blew through but said his wife, Christine, and their three children were all inside the home.
Christine Fisher told 5NEWS that she heard what she believed to be a tornado outside, and that's when she grabbed her youngest son, Nicholas, 14, and her 16-year-old daughter Rachel, trying to protect them.
In a matter of seconds, their house was off the ground.
Joshua, 17, was thrown against the other side of the room once the house went airborne, according to Christine.
"I was just at work and she called me," Fisher said. "I just hollered at my boss and told him my house had blown away and I jumped in my truck."
Fisher found his home several feet closer to the road when he pulled in his driveway.
"That's all the damage," Fisher said. "That`s it. Nothing else as far as I know. Even the buildings around it, it didn`t touch them."
Fisher said he's just thankful that his family survived the storm.
"The house, that's something that can be replaced," Fisher said. "Christine and my kids, I'm just happy they're all okay."
Christine and the three children did have some cuts and bruises, but did not suffer any major injuries.
"A lot of memories are gone," Fisher said. "But we'll make new ones and keep going. That's all we can do. Count our blessings and go on to the next day."
The family plans to put another mobile home on the same property, once they can have their current home gutted and removed, Fisher said.
Fisher said they're working with the Red Cross, but for now are staying with relatives who live nearby.

i got to watch the games this weekend since i'm out in the bay area - tribe looked the good first two games but sunday they just looked tired and ready to get back home. the pitcher from oakland looked locked in. ray fosse (oaklands tv anouncer) always has good things to say bout his old team...
with all the holes this team has i keep coming back to the fact that there is no deep threat at WR. without it opposing teams will continue to stack the line and negate any above average offensive line and running game. i still like this guy as our pick, then a WR and then a DB. wait next year for QB - and don't we already have 2 stud RB's? who have yet to really play?
red sox and yankees suck
same situation yesterday with the tigers... verlander looking sharp - winning, closer comes in the 9th - blows the lead. the difference being that the tigers had the BATS to win it without dragging the bullpen and the fans through the mud
RHCP were a huuuuge influence on me as a musician in the mid 80's - perfect blend of LA funk punk sex and drugs. saw them many times in the early days. But when Hillel died and my boy Jack Irons quite - that sort of killed it for me. glad to see they're gettin their props...
I personally think Big Mike looks like Wallace of Wallace and Gromit when they're ready to attack a plate of cheese...
I believe most of those guys juiced - yes, they were work-a-holics - so was Bonds - and they were amazingly talented. But the juice turned the single into a double, a double into a homer.
Brown's are going nowhere till they figure out how to beat the steelers on the field - not the front office. When Tressel came on board at OSU - first order of biz was to beat the school up north - even though at the time UM didn't view it as a rivalry anymore. He understood - got it done and the rest is history. Why can't this regime figure this out????
heisman trophy winner + number 1 draft pick = bust
Ratbird fans want a rule change so that Evan's pass would be called a touchdown - based solely on the fact that a runner only needs to break the plane of the goal line - I guess they're trying to get around that whole "establishing possession of the ball" rule. Sorry, unless you're from the Steeler organization the NFL isn't going to listen to your crying.
They're feeling it out here in the bay area too as 9er fans took quite a gut punch last night with that kid fumbling the ball in OT. But any Brown's fan has gotta love the rat-birds getting a good dose bad luck. But now the rest of us are looking at another Boston vs. NYC final - - - - how wonderful (insert sarcasm)

This is an overpriced venue that has poor service. Even if the food is nothing to write home about, I like good service and did not get it at all. I'm an ex-bar owner of many years and now have the time to wine and dine. I had to wait (in an unbusy restaurant) for 21 minutes for my cocktail. Then upon ordering, the waiter told me twice, that what I wanted was not available. This was on a Saturday evening and the restaurant was not busy at all at around 8:00 p.m. I ended up getting crab cakes and they were not good at all. It came with cole slaw that was horrible. How do you manage to mess up cole slaw..well they did. The waiter was handsome but not a good server at all. He said he'd been there since they opened around St. Patty's Day. They are extremely overpriced for food that is not commensurate. My friend got the blackened catfish and that was...okay. We will never go back there and that's a shame because we live so close. We were hoping that it'd be like the Fish Market in Brookfield (that has excellent food and service) but much to our dismay, it was not. The Manager was there when we came in and I was so hoping that I could tell him about my dining experience. When we checked out, he was no where to be found. We will never go back to this pricey-pretend restaurant!!!!!

APPARATUS FOR REPAIRING WELL CASING Filed May 12. 1961 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 GEORGE E. O'NEAL INVENTOR.
MMQM M ATTORNEY United States Patent 3,111,91 fiEiARATUS iF DR REPATRENG WELL CASENG George E. UNeai, Tulsa, Gide, assignor to Pan American ?etroicum Corporation, Tulsa, Okla, a corporation of Delaware Filed May 12, 1961, Ser. No. 109,742 3 Claims. (6!. res-2s? This invention relates to the art of repairing leaks in well casings. More particularly, it concerns means of making casing repairs wherein a sleeve of a settable patching material is expanded inside the casing at the leak and held in place until setting occurs. The present invention embodies an apparatus which protects the settable material from mechanical damage While the assembly is being lowered into the Well.
In recent years a method has been developed for patchirig holes in well casing by expanding a sleeve containing a settable material against the surface of the casing. Partially polymerized epoxy resins have been found to be particularly suitable, owing to their inertness to well fluids and their property of forming a strong bond with the metal casing. The sleeve of patching material is prepared on an expansible tool, then lowered into the well opposite the leak. The tool is then expanded to press the patching material against the casing, filling the leak with the settable resin. The tool is maintained in its expanded position until the resin had hardened. This method is described in US. Patent 3,028,915, Jennings.
In addition to the resin, the patch usually contains a fabric, such as wire mesh, glass cloth and the like, to increase the strength of the patch as well as to provide permeability for the viscous, resin-forming material during the placement of the patch. Additionally, the fabric retards sagging of the resin-forming material and reduces the erosive effect of the well fluids on the resin-forming material as the tool is lowered into the well.
Centralizers above and below the patch assembly are helpful in preventing damage to the sleeve as it is run in the well; nevertheless, some repair jobs have been unsuccessful for the reason that the partially polymerized material was deformed somewhat while being run. Presumably, the turbulence of well fluids displaced through the narrow annular space between the tool and the casing, as well as the obstructions on the wall of the casing, contributed to the deformation. There is a further possibility that droplets of well fluids become entrained in the partially-polymerized resin, effectively diluting it and weakening the strength of its bond with the casing.
It is therefore an object of my invention to provide apparatus for placing a patch containing a partially-polymerized resin in a well without subjecting the patch to abrasion and erosion by solids and fluids in the well. it is also an object of my invention to prevent contamination of the resinous material with the well fluids. These and other objects may be accomplished by my invention described in greater detail hereafter.
FIGURE 1 is a View in cross-section of the apparatus of my invention as it is being run into the well.
FiGURE 2 is a view in cross-section showing the apparatus as pressure is being applied to hold the patch against the casing.
FIG. 3 shows the apparatus as it might be assembled to run in a well.
Briefly described, the invention comprises a protective cover for the patch sleeve which is slipped off the sleeve at the start of the expansion of the setting tool.
Referring to FIGURE 1 for a description of the apparatus, elastic tube 2t} is covered with patch sleeve 21. The sleeve may comprise layers of glass fibers impregnated with a viscous, partially-polymerized epoxy resin and a curing agent. The glass fabric is folded or wound such that the sleeve may be expanded. The structure of the sleeve, and the application of the sleeve and resin to the elastic tube are described in more detail in US. Patent 3,028,915, Jennings. Upper and lower clamps, 22 and 23, respectively, hold the ends of elastic tube 20 on tubular body 1'3, whereby fluid in the tubular body can pass through perforations 19 and inflate the elastic tube. Housing 16 surrounds the patch sleeve. Ports 18 in the tubular body above upper clamp 22 admit fluid to the space bet-ween head 17 of housing 16 and upper clamp 22. O-ring 24 confines the fluid to the space above the upper clamp. Stop 15 on the tubular body limits the upward travel of housing 16. The tool assembly may be lowered into casing 11 on tubing. Check valve 1-4 in the lower end of the tubular body provides a bypass through the tool for well fluids while the tool is being run in the well.
FIGURE 2 shows the positions of the various components after the patch sleeve has been expanded against the casing and before the setting tool is removed from the well. Housing 16 is held in the upper position with head 17 against stop 1'5 by inflating fluid 25. O-ring '24 seals the space between the upper clamp and the housing. The inflating fluid also holds the elastic tube and patch sleeve expanded until the resin solidifies.
In using my invention to repair a leak in casing, the tool is first assembled at the surface. As shown in FIG- U'RE 3, centralizers 27 and 23 may be installed on tubular body 13 above and below the patch sleeve to keep the tool from dragging against the casing when it is lowered into the well. Also, circulation joint 29 may be installed above the upper centralizer to permit displacement through check valve :14 and tubular body 13 when the tool is run in the well. It is preferable to use a housing which does not fit snugly over the patch sleeve in order that the housing can be displaced with low fluid pressure. A unold release agent may be applied to the inside surface of housing is to prevent bonding of the housing to the resin, in case there is contact between them. Additionally, three or more spacer lugs may be positioned about the lower clamp to hold the patch assembly centralized within the housing. In some instances it may be desirable to provide an O-ring on the lower clamp to exclude well fluids from the patch sleeve while the tool is being run into the well.
With the housing pulled back so that head i7 is against stop 15, the fiabric and resin sleeve may be applied to the elastic tube. The outside diameter of the sleeve may be about one to two inches less than the inside diameter of the casing. The tube is usually coated with a mold-release agent to facilitate its ultimate removal from the well. After the sleeve is in place on the elastic tube, the housing is moved to its position over the sleeve, as shown in FIGURE 1. The tubular body is then connected to tubing and run into the well until the patch assembly is centered over leak 12 in the casing. The circulating valve is then closed. Fluid subsequently pumped down the tubing flows through ports 18. The elasticity of tube 20* prevents any significant inflation of that member until the housing has been removed and comes to rest against stop 15. It is desirable that the housing cove-rs the patch sleeve without touching it to avoid any resistance to displacement of the housing from its running-in position. Thereafter, a pressure about to 500 p.s.i. greater than well pressure is applied to the elastic tube to produce the necessary expansion of the patch sleeve. A small quantity of the resin is usually extruded through the leak, forming button 26, as seen in FIGURE 2. The pressure is held on the tool for a length of time calculated to perunit the setting of the resin on the sleeve. Thereafter,
the pressure is released, permitting the elastic tube to contract and be withdrawn from the Well.
Housing 16 is a cylindrical member having sufficient tensile strength to Withstand the pressure differential which exists across it during the patch setting step. It is desirable that the housing occupy as little space as possible, in order that the patch sleeve can be assembled for minimum expansion during placement. For example, a tool for patching SVz-inch casing can use a housing made of 16-20 gage steel plate where the plate is boiler grade. The stop is positioned on the tubular body a distance above the upper clamp, which enables the housing to clear the patch sleeve, but does not move beyond the O-ring.
While I have described my invention as a tool to be run on tubing, it should be understood that it can also be run on a wire line. In that embodiment the housing would be removed and the patch sleeve expanded by fluid pressure either stored or generated within the tool. For example, a propellant charge of the type used in Wire line stimulation tools might be used. The charge could be detonated by a go-devil, or similar device, introduced at the well head. Examples of this type of equipment are illustrated in US. Patent 2,781,854, Boer et al.; US. Patent 2,842,212, Lebourg; and U8. Patent 2,843,- 042, Andrus. Also, this invention may be used in repairing pipes other than those in Wells. Pipelines sometimes develop leaks in locations not readily accessible, where this could be used to advantage. A leak in an underwater river crossing, for example, could be repaired in this manner. Therefore, my invention should be limited only by the scope of the appended claims when read in light of the present disclosure.
I claim:
1. Apparatus for applying a liner to the inner sunface of a cylinder comprising: a perforated tubular body, an
elastic tube enclosing said perforated body, means for 4 tube and housing, a check valve in the lower end of said tubular body, and a circulating joint above said elastic tube and housing for attaching a tubing string to said tubular body.
2. A tool for applying an expansible settable patch sleeve to the inner surface of a cylinder comprising: a perforated tubular body, an elastic tube enclosing said perforated body, means for sealing the ends of said elastic tube to said perforated body, a housing loosely enclosing said elastic tube, sufiicient space being provided between said elastic tube and said housing for said expansible settable patch sleeve, means for displacing said housing axially along said tubular body to expose said expansible sleeve in operation of the tool, centralizcrs above and below said elastic tube and housing, a check valve in the lower end of said tubular body, and a circulating joint above said elastic tube and housing for attaching a tubing string to said tubular body.
3. The tool of claim 2 in which said means for displacing said housing comprises first and second fiuid seals between said housing and said tubular body to define a variable volume chamber between said housing and said tubular body, a fluid port in said tubular body said port connecting the interior of said variable volume chamber to the interior of said tubular body and means to limit the movement of said housing to a position which uncovers said expansible sleeve While maintaining said second fluid seal.

If there is a problem with not having enough people to keep up with the changes in any project, does it not mean that you are unable to attract enough developers, rather than the claim that too many changes are being made by the projects which you are trying to maintain?
The number of developers in a project like OpenBSD is another issue entirely. Attracting new people is somewhat of an issue. The problem here is that it's difficult to keep people focused on somewhat ungrateful work. Gratuitous incompatible changes are just a big mess to sort through and to port to OpenBSD. That's definitely not sexy, not fun work.
Except for very dedicated people, you attract people because they want to do fun stuff. Sorting through someone else's garbage is not very funny, yet that's what you have to do each time you port some "Linux" software.
Yet I'm still with OpenBSD, because we do some fun stuff. One good thing about a relatively small project is that, if you're a good developer, you can quickly gain some interesting responsibilities, and touch a breadth of things that would be hard to be involved in in other projects.
What do you mean by "It's also quickly turning POSIX and Unix into a travesty: either you have the Linux goodies, or you don't. And if you don't, you can forget anything modern..."?
It used to be that POSIX took every good thing from UNIX systems out there and turned that into a standard, with a fair evaluation of what was good.
These days, the standards process is obviously heavily biased towards Linux, even though a lot of interesting things happen in various BSD (and under Solaris, up until Oracle took over), but you won't see these in recent POSIX.
I could talk about the strlcpy() family of functions, which was adopted by almost every open source project out there outside of the glibc, for instance. Or about how, for a lot of tools, if things keep going that way, next version of POSIX will basically document GNU-sed, GNU-make, and GNU-m4...
This is kind of offensive, especially for me, after the number of hours I've spent getting our make and our m4 into something really nice and interesting, and in some parts, totally distinct from GNU stuff, yet implementing most of the current POSIX spec...
Your other quote that caught my attention was "in some cases, you even have some people, who are PAID by some vendors, aggressively pushing GRATUITOUS, non compatible changes. I won't say names, but you guys can fill the blanks in." I guess you are talking, in the main, about Lennart Pottering and Kay Sievers, both Red Hat employees. Is this correct?
I still won't fill the blanks. But I'm reasonably certain some things are not truly necessary, the likes of systemd, to take a recent fairly obnoxious example.
In other cases, there is some delightful irony: tools like autoconf and libtool were built, in the first place, to make working with UNIX systems "simpler" and "more portable". Over the recent years, I've spent WAYS more time *fighting* with that build system to convince it to do things *correctly* for OpenBSD rather than work *with it* to do new stuff.

Two of the most historic programs in college football, Alabama and Notre Dame played for the national championship in a game that few would have predicted when the season began. That is, many would have predicted that the SEC West powerhouse would seek its third national title in the last four years, but most would have penciled in a Pac-12 or Big 12 opponent rather than the resurgent Irish. Denied the crystal ball since 1988, the Irish sought to complete an astonishing perfect season in a defensive slugfest where they hoped that star linebacker Manti Te'o could contain the dual Alabama running threats of Eddie Lacy and T.J. Yeldon. Much improved from last season, Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron sought his second straight national championship under famed coach Nick Saban, whose only loss this season came to the Texas A&M squad of Heisman winner Johnny Manziel. Saban had led Alabama to the national title following a one-loss season last year, and his team entered as heavy favorites to repeat the feat with a seventh straight national title for the SEC.
First quarter:
Never in the regular season had Notre Dame allowed a touchdown drive of 75 yards or more, but the Tide rolled 82 yards on five plays (and two Irish penalties) to start the game, an ominous sign that foreshadowed what lay ahead. Punctuating the scoring surge was a 20-yard touchdown run by Eddie Lacy, the hero of the first half with his series of punishing charges past a Notre Dame front seven that could not contain him. The Fighting Irish had earned much more applause for their defense than their offense all season, so it came as little surprise that quarterback Everett Golson could not break through the stingy Alabama defense on his first attempt. Offered the opportunity to add insurance, McCarron and Lacy took over the spotlight again with a second 20-yard run by the latter and a fine spinning short touchdown throw by the former to tie the total number of touchdowns allowed in a game by Notre Dame this year. Remarkably, equally dangerous running back T.J. Yeldon had exerted no impact at all, and yet Alabama surged easily to a lead without one of their top three playmakers.
After the Irish stalled with just 15 yards gained, Alabama continued to pound away at Te'o and his compatriots, exposed as physically unequal to the Tide's offensive line. On a key third down at the Notre Dame 33, McCarron looked deep down the field for a bold completion on target that crushed the dwindling spirits of Notre Dame fans. With the quarter at an end, Alabama had compiled over 200 offensive yards to 23 by their opponents, and they stood six yards from another touchdown.
Alabama 14, Notre Dame 0
Second quarter:
Two plays into the period, T.J. Yeldon asserted himself for the first time with the second of two straight rushes, which brought the Tide into the end zone for the third straight drive. Desperately needing an answer, Notre Dame produced their best play of the half with a 31-yard completion from Golson, but their momentum quickly stalled with three incompletions on the next four plays. Although Alabama could not turn the turnover on downs into points, they justifiably relied on their defense to stifle the flustered underdogs again. Notre Dame running back Theo Riddick reeled off a long run to start the drive, recalling the impressive start to the previous possession. Also recalling the previous possession was the stagnation into which their offense fell afterwards, continuing an unproductive span for both offenses that resulted in four straight punts. Gaining a first down or two before flipping field position, neither Alabama nor Notre Dame could move the ball significantly until the Tide broke through shortly before halftime. This time, Yeldon took over the reins of the running game from Lacy with four runs on the first five plays.
Focused on the running game, Notre Dame failed to cover a long completion by McCarron on a throw that perfectly led his receiver beyond the defender's reach and towards the sideline where he could run out of bounds to stop the clock. With less than a minute remaining, the Alabama quarterback then settled for a short toss to Lacy and let his mammoth running back do all of the work thereafter as he muscled a route through a stunned-looking group of Irish defenders into the end zone. That 11-yard run showcased the physical mismatches between the teams, reflected in the lopsided halftime scoreboard.
Alabama 28, Notre Dame 0
Third quarter:
Opening the second half in an excellent throwing rhythm, Golson completed consecutive throws to lead his team inside Alabama territory, while the Tide's defense lost much of its sting. An interception on a deep ball snuffed out that early momentum, and Lacy dug Alabama out of field position inside its own 5 while continuing to bully the Irish defensive line. Completing the 97-yard drive was a 34-yard touchdown completion from McCarron to his best receiver, Amari Cooper, whom a Notre Dame secondary left wide open in an apparent display of fatigue. With the game essentially out of reach, Golson led his team on their first scoring drive as he dodged pressure repeatedly from the pass rush and even drew a timely personal foul penalty. Not reluctant to pass with a four-touchdown lead, Saban called for a McCarron throw towards the sidelines that moved the ball across midfield as Alabama plowed forward inexorably.
Alabama 35, Notre Dame 7
Fourth quarter:
With their third touchdown drive of 75 yards or more, Alabama continued to humiliate the vaunted Irish defense as they passed the 40-point and 500-yard threshold early in the fourth quarter. The only meaningful record remaining lay in the margin of victory for a national championship game, which stood at 36 points in USC's vacated victory over Oklahoma. Notre Dame at least avoided that indignity by scoring a second touchdown midway through the quarter following accurate completions from Golson into the space provided by a slackening Alabama defense. The last several minutes ticked off uneventfully thereafter as both teams in a quiet finish to another thrilling college football season.
Final score: Alabama 42, Notre Dame 14
Dominant from start to finish, Alabama recorded its second straight rout in a national title game, which this year lacked suspense from midway through the second quarter. Its victory more than salvaged an otherwise disappointing bowl season for the SEC, accustomed to excellence in all of its non-conference games. While Notre Dame surely regrets its lackluster effort early in the game, especially on defense, it substantially enhanced its reputation this year simply by appearing in the national championship game. Coach Brian Kelly built a team whose value exceeded the sum of its parts, a fact that NFL employers should note over the offseason. But the explosion of talent on both sides of the ball left no mistake that Nick Saban's juggernaut at Alabama continues to accelerate from one year to the next.

(ABC 6 NEWS) -- "I started competitively swimming when I was five-years-old, and I had the same coach that I do now," Mayo senior Elliot Lynch said.
"He's been a phenominal kid, and he definitely fits the sprinter's mentality with that high energy," Mayo head coach Ted Dow said.
And now, as Lynch begins to wrap-up his fifth and final year on the Mayo Spartans swim team, the co-captain is forced to slow down and reflect on his time in the water.
"It's a little emotional. I guess it's time to move on," Lynch said.
Lynch is headed to Iowa State next fall, and the Cyclones don't field a men's swim team, so the Spartans senior will just have to settle for dominating at the high school level.
Last week at the Austin Packer Invitational, Lynch took home first place in both the 50 and 100 freestyle.
He hopes to ride that momentum to the state meet in two months.
"Last year, it looked like I was going to have a pretty good shot. The week before state, I got strep throat, missed practice and didn't do very well," Lynch said.
Hopefully, Lynch gets a shot at redemption, kind of like when he was just six years old, and didn't qualify for the YMCA state meet.
"They had an opening, and he was the next one up, so we called him down. He came out of the stands and finished seventh overall. I'd like to see him at least finish in seventh at state this year, to end his career the same way he started," Dow said.

The aim of this book is to make more widely available a body of recent research activity that has become known as applied general equilibrium analysis. The central idea underlying this work is to convert the Walrasian general equilibrium structure (formalized in the 1950s by Kenneth Arrow, Gerard Debreu and others) from an abstract representation of an economy into realistic models of actual economies. Numerical, empirically based general equilibrium models can then be used to evaluate concrete policy options by specifying production and demand parameters and incorporating data reflective of real economies. Shoven and Whalley describe all aspects of developing applied general equilibrium models, including developing an appropriate equilibrium structure, calibrating the model, compiling counterfactual equilibria, and interpreting results. The authors contend that the Walrasian general equilibrium model provides an ideal framework for appraising the effects of policy changes on resource allocation, assessing who gains and who loses, and the policy impacts not well covered by empirical macro models. The applications in the book illustrate a number of ways in which fresh insights are provided in long standing policy controversies.
