17. The method of claim 16 further comprising:
before the elongated container is placed in the well and while the well is producing fluids, determining an interval of flow of unwanted fluid along the horizontal portion of the well.
This invention relates to wells and means for modifying or controlling flow of fluids into or out of selected intervals of a wellbore. Specifically, it is a method to place, by firing an explosive, liquid resin in selected intervals of slotted liner devices in the wellbore such that the resin polymerizes to reduce radial flow across the selected interval of the wellbore boundary and later, if desired, to remove by explosive the polymerized resin thereby increasing the radial flow across the same interval.
Wells drilled through unconsolidated rock formations or formations that may collapse into the wellbore are often equipped with slotted liners, which are pipes having narrow slots cut either axially or transverse in the wall of the pipe. The liner extends to a point above the formation where fluid is to be produced or injected. The slots are made sufficiently narrow to exclude particles greater than a selected size while allowing flow into or out of the wellbore. When slotted liners are placed in wells, it is common, but not essential, to place granular material, called "gravel," in the annulus outside the slotted liner. The gravel particles are sized larger in diameter than the slot width. The gravel serves to decrease plugging of the slots by grains of formation rock and finer materials from the formation moving with produced fluids.
In processes for recovering oil, gas and other minerals from wells, it is often desirable to control fluid flow rate into or out of a well in selected intervals along the wellbore. In flooding processes for recovery of oil, for example, the injected fluid often channels through more permeable zones and begins flowing into a producing well prematurely. It is desirable to block or partially block flow of fluid into or out of the zone where the injected fluid has channeled. In thermal recovery processes in which steam is injected into a reservoir to heat the viscous oil and increase recovery rate, it is desirable to decrease flow of steam or condensed steam into a well in intervals where oil has been displaced and to divert the flow of hot fluids to zones having high oil saturation.
A variety of methods have been proposed for decreasing flow rates in selected intervals of wellbores. Some methods involve injection of a polymer solution into the rock surrounding the well. Such methods are applicable in wells with or without slotted liners in the wellbore, but it is difficult to cause the polymer solution to flow into the interval where it will be most effective, particularly in wells having slotted liners. Injection of cement into perforations in the casing of the well is also often employed when the well contains perforated casing, but when slotted liners are inside the wellbore this procedure is not effective. Mechanical methods, generally involving placement of packers at selected depths in the wellbore, also are not effective in wells having slotted liners. Mechanical methods also require use of a workover rig and are relatively expensive.
The production of fluids from horizontal wells or wells drilled at a substantial angle with respect to vertical has recently become common. We use the term "horizontal well" for any well in which the maximum angle from vertical of any segment of the wellbore is greater than about 70 degrees. Such horizontal wells are often completed with slotted liners in the productive zone. In these wells, production of an unwanted fluid often occurs through the slotted liner in some intervals of the wellbore. The interval in which the unwanted fluid enters the wellbore may be known from other data or may be determined by running a flowmeter along the wellbore. It is particularly advantageous to decrease influx into the well in the selected interval producing the unwanted fluid.
In a vertical or horizontal well, it is possible that in a treatment to decrease unwanted flow, production rate of a wanted fluid may be decreased. It will then be particularly important to remove at least a portion of the effects of the treatment.
U.S. Pat. No. 1,592,104 discloses apparatus and method for blasting a cement into the walls of an open hole drilled through the earth. The method is claimed to stabilize the walls of the borehole to prevent collapse. An explosive cartridge is surrounded with a plastic cementing material which is then contained in a collapsible lining.
There has long been a need for an inexpensive method of selective plugging or partially plugging selected intervals of a well having a slotted liners in the wellbore. Preferably, the method would be reversible, such that an interval selectively plugged could be re-opened for production or injection.
In one embodiment, there is provided a process for decreasing flow rate across the radial boundary of a selected interval of a wellbore containing a slotted liner by placing in the selected interval an elongated container containing resin or resin solution and a detonating cord. The cord is fired to cause the resin to coat the surrounding slotted liner in the well. When the resin has cured, flow is initiated in the well and the flow rate across the selected interval is decreased with respect to other intervals in the wellbore. In another embodiment, after a sand exclusion device in a well has been coated and the resin is allowed to cure to decrease flow rate in the selected interval, the flow rate in the interval is at least partially restored by firing an explosive in the same interval of the wellbore. In yet another embodiment, an elongated container with resin and a detonating cord is placed in an interval producing unwanted fluid in a horizontal well, the detonating cord is fired and the resin is allowed to cure to decrease flow rate of unwanted fluids into the horizontal wellbore.
FIG. 1 is a sketch of a wellbore equipped with a slotted liner and a gravel pack in the open hole, showing an elongated container having resin and a detonating cord before the explosive is fired.
FIG. 2 is a sketch of a wellbore equipped with a slotted liner and a gravel pack in the open hole, showing resin coating the slots of the slotted liner after the explosive is fired.
Referring now to FIG. 1, well 10 is shown drilled through the earth into formation 11 where fluid will be injected or extracted by flow across wellbore boundary 12. The well has been drilled and casing 13 has been placed in the well and cemented in place with cement 14. Liner 16 has been placed below casing 13 and gravel 17 has been placed in the annulus between the liner 16 and the wellbore boundary 12. The gravel is placed by techniques well known in the art. Liner hanger 18 then is actuated to seal the overlap between the casing 13 and the liner 16. The liner contains slots 20, which are sized to prevent flow of gravel 17 through the liner 16.
In the process of our invention, explosive 34 is placed in elongated container 30 along with resin solution 36. The container 30 may be rigid plastic such as polyvinyl chloride pipe or a metal pipe with holes and with a plastic bag or pipe inside to contain the liquid resin. If a metal pipe is used as elongated container 30, holes should be drilled such that the spray of resin from the holes when the explosive 34 is fired will cover the circumference of the liner 16 enclosing the metal pipe 30. The holes should be from about 1/4 to about 3/4 inch in diameter, with from about 4 to about 32 holes per foot. The diameter of the metal pipe 30 should be from about 2 inch to a size which is less than about three-fourths the diameter of the liner 16.
If a rigid plastic pipe is used as the elongated container 30, common polyvinyl chloride pipe is adequate for low temperature wells. A stable high-temperature plastic such as epoxy or polysulfone can be used for higher temperature wells. The plastic may contain glass or other filler.
The resin solution 36 placed in elongated container 30 is internally catalyzed. A suitable resin is epoxy. Other suitable resins are of the furan and phenolic types. The hardener or catalyst which causes the resin to polymerize or cure is incorporated into the resin at a concentration that produces a desirable pot life. Suitable resins and hardeners or catalysts are well-known in the industry. The pot life of the resin should be long enough to allow the resin to be placed in the well and the explosive fired before the resin gels, but short enough to allow the well to be produced without undue delay. Preferably, the pot life of the resin is from about 1/4 hour to about 12 hours under temperature conditions expected when the resin is placed in the well. The resin is also selected to be stable under temperatures expected in the well. For example, if the well is to be used in a steam recovery process, very high thermal stability resin, known in the art, is selected.
The resin solution 36 may be only a liquid resin or it may contain additives to increase or lower viscosity, create a higher gel strength in the resin, or increase the wetting of the surfaces of the slotted liner 16 by the resin. The terms "resin" and "resin solution" are used interchangeably herein, as it is understood that these terms describe a mixture of materials having a component which is liquid until polymerization occurs to form a solid. Viscosity and gel strength influence the amount of movement of the resin and the thickness of the resin layer after it is dispersed onto the surface of the well equipment. Viscosity and gel strength should be sufficient to decrease the drainage of the resin from the interval where it is initially placed. The use of diluents in resins to decrease viscosity or gel strength is well-known. Reactive diluent may be used for improved properties of the cured resin. Experiments may determine the need for and the amount of a diluent, if any, in the resin. A gelling agent may be added to obtain greater gel strength. Finely divided solids such as fumed silica are a suitable gelling agent. Improved wetting of the surface of the slotted liner may be obtained by adding agents such as silane bonding agents to the resin.
The elongated container 30 is lowered into the well 10 on wireline 32, using conventional industry equipment. The container 30 is placed at the selected interval in the liner where it is desired to decrease fluid flow across the boundary of the wellbore 12. The length of elongated container 30 and explosive 36 is selected to correspond to the portion of the interval where unwanted fluid is entering the well 10. The location and length of this interval may be determined by measuring flow rate of different fluids at different depths in the well. Flow meters for this purpose are widely available in industry. An interval where unwanted fluid is entering the wellbore at greater than average rates will be selected for applying the methods of our invention. In injection wells, intervals where flow is unusually high will be selected for applying the methods of our invention.
Explosive 34 is fired by a signal sent through wireline 32 from the surface of the earth to a detonator. Well-known techniques are used for firing explosives in wells. A convenient and satisfactory explosive is a detonating cord sold under the name "PRIMACORD". It is desirable that the explosive be in an elongated shape extending over at least most of the length of the container. The purpose of the explosive is to create a high pressure and a volume of gas which discharges the resin 36 from the elongated container 30 through holes in the container (not shown) or which disintegrates the elongated container, allowing the resin to disperse on the inner surface of the slotted liner.
A variety of chemicals can be used for explosives in the process of this invention. For example, detonating cords can be made with RDX, PETN, HMX and other explosives. A detonating cord is particularly convenient for our process. A deflagration, produced by propellants, can also be effective. The burn rate of such materials is much slower than that of a detonation. Binders are often used with explosive chemicals to produce propellants. Other chemicals commonly used in rocket fuels are also effective for propellants. Both type reactions, detonations and deflagrations, are referred to herein as explosions, and the materials used to produce these reactions are referred to as explosives. For our invention, the amount of gas produced must be adequate to cause the resin to be dispersed through the wellbore and impinge upon the surrounding slotted liner.
It is not required for our invention that gravel 17 be present outside the slotted liner 16. If gravel 17 is not present, the surrounding formation 11 will move radially inward to fill the space indicated by gravel 17 in FIG. 1. It is preferred that a solid material be in contact with the outside surface of slotted liner 16, such that high resistance to fluid flow in the axial direction, along the wellbore, will be present. This high resistance will minimize flow of unwanted fluids in the annulus outside the slotted liner such that flow around the interval of the slotted liner 16 which has been coated with resin will be minimized.
Before or concurrent with the elongated container 30 being in place opposite the interval where flow of fluid across the wellbore boundary 12 is to be decreased, and before the explosive in the container is fired, means for decreasing flow across the radial boundary of the wellbore and across the slotted liner is preferably applied. No flow or very slight flow rate through the slots 20 will allow the resin to remain and cure in the slots 20 of the liner 16. The well is preferably closed in to flow at the surface. If the wellbore is filled with liquid and if the pressure in the formation 11 is greater than the pressure of the column of liquid when the well is closed in to flow, flow through the slots 20 will be stopped or minimized when the well is closed in to flow at the surface. If the wellbore is not filled with liquid or pressure in the formation is not greater than the pressure of the column of liquid, the well is preferably allowed to reach as near pressure equilibrium as practical such that flow through the slots 20 will be at a low rate when the explosive 34 is fired. This condition is achieved by not producing or injecting fluids into the well for a time before the explosive 34 is fired, thereby minimizing the pressure differential across the slotted liner in the wellbore. Fluid flow through the slots can be decreased further by a variety of means. In one method, small particles suspended in fluid are pumped into the well before explosive 34 is fired. The particles are sized such that they pass through the slots 20 and the gravel 17 and form a filter cake (not shown) on the boundary of the wellbore 12. A slight excess pressure inside the wellbore while the explosive 34 is fired then allows very low flow rate through the slots 20 until the resin cures. In another method, a slug of gelled fluid (not shown) is pumped down the well to a location above the elongated container 30. The high flow resistance of the slug prevents further fluid movement through the slots 20 until the resin cures. No substantial flow rate of fluid should occur across the slotted liner in the wellbore after the explosive is fired until a time sufficient for the resin to cure. After curing, the resin has sufficient shear strength to prevent displacement of the resin from the slots or other openings of the slotted liner. Therefore, the well should not be opened to flow until after the cure time of the resin. Cure time of the resin can be determined by laboratory tests of resin flow or mechanical strength properties versus time under temperature conditions of the resin expected in the well.
FIG. 2 shows the same well 10 after the explosive in the elongated container has been fired. The resin has now been dispersed and coats the surface of the slotted liner 16 over the interval where the elongated container was present, as shown at 40. The wireline and elongated container have been withdrawn from the well. The flow across interval 40 is now greatly reduced or eliminated by the resin coating 40 after the resin has cured. The flow of fluid entering the well 10 from the top portion of the formation 11 is, therefore, greatly reduced. An unwanted fluid entering through this interval may be natural gas, steam, water or any other fluid in the formation 11. Other numerals shown in FIG. 2 define the same parts as shown in FIG. 1.
FIG. 2 shows placement of resin to decrease flow from the top portion of a vertical wellbore, but it should be understood that our process can be used effectively in any interval of the wellbore. For example, the process as shown in FIG. 2 would be employed to decrease flow of an unwanted fluid which is less dense than the desired fluid, such as gas or steam flowing into an oil well, or in the case of more permeable zones of the formation at the top of the formation 11. The process could just as well be used to decrease flow of an unwanted fluid which is more dense than the desired fluid, such as water flowing into an oil well from the bottom of the formation 11, by placing the elongated container over the interval at the bottom of the formation 11.
The process of our invention can be used in horizontal wellbores. Production of unwanted gas or water into horizontal oil wells is often observed. The interval where these unwanted fluids enter the horizontal wellbore can be identified by measuring flow rate of oil, water and gas into the wellbore at different locations along the wellbore. Our invention provides a method to shut off or greatly decrease flow of these unwanted fluids into the horizontal well by placing an elongated container 30 such as shown in FIG. 1 in the interval producing the unwanted fluids and firing an explosive such as 34 shown in FIG. 1. In a horizontal well, the container 30 would normally be placed in the well by the use of coiled tubing, using techniques well-known in industry for placing logging instruments in wells. The explosive would preferably be fired using a firing head which may be pressure-actuated, using techniques well known in industry.
Especially for use in a horizontal well, an elongated container such as shown at 30 in FIG. 1 preferably has attached to it devices for centralizing the container within the wellbore. Such devices as spring centralizers, commonly used and well known in industry to centralize logging instruments, for example, are adequate. Two or more centralizers are preferred, with at least one centralizer at each end of the elongated container. The flow of fluid across the wellbore boundary before the explosive is fired should be minimized for the horizontal well, as was described for the vertical well.
A 27/8 inch diameter, 6.5 pounds per foot, N-80 metal pipe was cut to a length of 6 feet and 1/2 inch diameter holes were drilled over the middle 4 feet of the pipe at a density of 16 holes per foot. The pipe was welded shut at the bottom and threaded at the top to form an elongated container. PVC pipe of 2-inch diameter was placed inside the metal pipe, this pipe being closed at the bottom. A string of "PRIMACORD" was then placed in the plastic pipe and the pipe was filled with a mixture of epoxy resin and hardener. A detonator was attached to the "PRIMACORD". The detonator wires were pulled through a threaded bullplug cap handling sub which was then screwed on the pipe and the wires were attached to an electric wireline unit.
The resin was EPON 815, an epoxy manufactured by Shell Chemical Company. The hardener was "U-type," mixed at a ratio of 6:1 epoxy to hardener. The "PRIMACORD" contained 25 grains per foot of RDX explosive.
The testing facility consisted of a 16 inch diameter section of pipe placed within a test cell at ambient temperature. A 51/2 inch diameter, 7 feet long, slotted pipe, simulating a slotted liner in a well, was placed inside the 16-inch pipe. The axial slot dimensions in the pipe were 30-mesh width by 2 inch length, spaced on 6-inch centers.
The elongated container consisting of the concentric metal and plastic pipe sections was lowered into the slotted pipe section in the test facility. The explosive was fired by a signal sent through the electric wireline and the elongated container was withdrawn. The slotted pipe was then withdrawn and inspected. The epoxy was still tacky after 25 minutes, but the epoxy resin was evenly dispersed over the slotted pipe and filled the slots. After the resin cured, the slotted pipe was filled with water and was found to be completely sealed to water flow.
A 4-foot length of "PRIMACORD" having 14 grains per foot explosive was placed inside the slotted pipe which had been sealed with the resin and filled with water. The "PRIMACORD" was then fired. This procedure was repeated with a second 4-foot length of "PRIMACORD". Then water was introduced into the liner as water leakage rate from the liner was observed. Visual inspection of the liner showed that 50 to 85 per cent of the casing slots initially sealed by resin were re-opened by the explosive charges.
Vertical wells are used for recovery of viscous oil by steam flooding a formation 50 feet thick. Steam breakthrough occurs in production wells after recovery of only 5 per cent of the oil in place. It is suspected that steam channelling is occurring over the top of the formation containing the oil. The production wells contain an open-hole gravel pack and slotted liners. An elongated container of metal pipe 8 feet in length and 27/8 inch in diameter is prepared by drilling 150 holes 3/4 inch in diameter around the perimeter of the pipe and over almost its entire length. The pipe has one welded closed end and one end having a threaded cap adapted for attachment to a wire line with electrical contact going through the cap. A thin-wall plastic pipe made of polysulfone is fitted inside the metal pipe. A 7-foot long string of "PRIMACORD" having 25 grains per foot of explosive and a detonator are placed inside the plastic pipe. The pipe is then filled with high-temperature epoxy resin having a pot life of 2 hours when heated from 75 degrees F. to 250 degrees F. in 1 hour. The cap is placed on the open end and electrical connections are made to the detonator. The well is closed in to production for two days. The elongated container is then lowered on wire line to the top of the slotted liner in the production well and the explosive is fired by an electrical signal from the surface. The wire line is then withdrawn and after six hours the well is opened to production. The steam-to-oil ratio from the well is decreased from 50 to 10 by the treatment. After 2 months, the treatment is repeated except with the elongated container placed over 10 feet below the 8-foot interval of the first treatment. The steam-to-oil ratio is again decreased from 40 to 8 by the second treatment.
The invention has been described with reference to its preferred embodiments. Those of ordinary skill in the art may, upon reading this disclosure, appreciate changes or modifications which do not depart from the scope and spirit of the invention as described above or claimed hereafter.

Toledo mayor's decision to not seek re-election ends speculation as recall bid heads for ballot
Toledo Mayor Carty Finkbeiner said Sunday that he will not seek re-election this fall and insisted that three terms was his plan all along.
Mr. Finkbeiner, 70, whose term expires in January and is facing a likely voter recall election in November, has for months maintained that he was undecided whether to seek a fourth term.
That posturing, he explained in an interview Sunday afternoon, was an attempt to maintain "leverage" in his running of the city.
"I think the job of executive officer of the city is such that you wish to keep your cards as close to your vest as you possibly can as long as you can," the mayor said.
His announcement comes just days before a July 17 filing deadline and ends months of speculation on whether the mayor would press ahead despite a looming recall election coinciding with the mayoral election on Nov. 3.
The group Take Back Toledo, largely composed of area business people and WSPD-AM radio, collected 20,444 valid signatures, more than the 19,753 re-quired by the city charter to place the recall question on the ballot.
Members of the group contend that the mayor has mismanaged the city budget, driven away potential business investors, and generally embarrassed Toledo.
Mr. Finkbeiner, a Democrat, began over the weekend to send copies of a three-page letter announcing his decision to friends, associates, and select others, including Gov. Ted Strickland. The letter reflected on his nearly 12 years as mayor, which followed his 1993 election as the city's first "strong" mayor in modern times.
THE BLADE/JETTA FRASER / JETTA FRASER Enlarge | Buy This Photo
Mr. Finkbeiner served back-to-back mayoral terms from 1994 to 2002 until term limits forced him to the sidelines. He previously had served eight years on Toledo City Council and two years in the now-defunct post of vice mayor.
After undergoing quadruple bypass surgery in March, 2004, he returned to politics fitter and trimmer in 2005 to defeat incumbent Mayor Jack Ford.
In his letter, Mr. Finkbeiner recounted the promise he said he made to his wife, Amy, and other family members during the 2004 Christmas holiday, several months after he underwent his quadruple bypass.
"My daughters, their husbands, and my wife, all questioned my motivation," the letter read. "I felt terrific, but my family wanted no part of another mayoral term. We reached no conclusion that December, 2004, but I made one promise to them - 'If I run - and win, I'll serve but only one term.'•"
The letter continued, "Toledoans, I thank you from the bottom of both Amy's and my hearts for the opportunity to serve you While I have not yet finished the race, I continue to retain my passion for Toledo, and I always will."
Although Mr. Finkbeiner's letter suggests a fourth term was never in the cards, some of his close associates said they discussed the topic with him as recently as this month.
Jerry Chabler, a director of the Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority and past campaign fund-raiser for Mr. Finkbeiner, said he suggested to Mr. Finkbeiner that he not run this fall.
"I suggested that it was probably in his best interest because of the fact he served in that office for almost 12 years, and that it's time for perhaps somebody else to take over," Mr. Chabler said. "He certainly has given it a lot of thought, but I think his primary concern was his family."
Mr. Chabler also spoke of the mayor's enthusiasm, energy, and work ethic, and voiced a common refrain about Mr. Finkbeiner that is echoed by allies and critics alike.
"There's nobody that could ever deny the passion and the love that this man has for the city of Toledo," Mr. Chabler said.
"You can love him or you can hate him - and there are a lot of people on both sides of that ledger - but the one thing you can't question is his devotion to his beloved city," said Andy Douglas, a retired Ohio Supreme Court justice and a former Toledo councilman whom the mayor recently hired as special counsel for labor talks.
Lawyers for Mr. Finkbeiner have appealed to the Ohio Supreme Court to block the recall election, which could force him to step down from office during the final six weeks of his term once the vote is certified. In such a scenario, the mayor would be replaced by the president of city council until a new mayor takes office on Jan. 4.
Some of Mr. Finkbeiner's critics point to his unfinished economic developments, such as the Marina Project and failed initiatives at the Erie Street Market. Other have seemed more aghast at various highly publicized faux pas, such as when he barred a U.S. Marine Corps Reserve unit from training in downtown in 2008.
Asked whether he was bothered by the prospect of a recall election, Mr. Finkbeiner said he believes he has the support of true Toledoans.
"The vast majority of those who claim that they are the leaders of Take Back Toledo have not ever loved Toledo enough to live in it or have their major place of investment [in it]," Mr. Finkbeiner said.
In his letter, Mr. Finkbeiner listed 30 highlights of his 12 years in office, including the new Jeep assembly complex, the downtown Owens Corning headquarters, and the revitalization of once empty buildings such as the former Commodore Perry Hotel, Hillcrest Hotel, Toledo Trust building, Lasalle building, and One Lake Erie Center.
"I think he has done a number of important and positive things for this community and whenever he has run into difficulty it's always because he has tried too hard," said Tom Palmer, a longtime friend and a director of the Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority.
Mr. Finkbeiner, who said he doesn't plan to endorse any mayoral candidate, told The Blade that things he will miss when he leaves office are seeing through the completion of the Marina District in East Toledo, the Airline Yard Intermodal development in South Toledo, and the rebuilding of the former Southwyck Shopping Center area.
He said his biggest regret of the past four years was the region's sagging economy, which undercut the city's economic development opportunities.
Mr. Finkbeiner said he looked forward to free time but didn't have any immediate plans for his postmayoral years.
He did express interest in helping raise money so that the Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic could return to the Toledo area. When this year's LPGA event ended at Highland Meadows Country Club in Sylvania a week ago, organizers were uncertain whether the women's golf tournament would return.
In his letter, Mr. Finkbeiner urged Toledoans to keep a positive attitude. "There is ample room for improvement in our self-confidence and our positive vision of Toledo's full potential."

As long as war is regarded as wicked, it will always have its fascination. When it is looked upon as vulgar, it will cease to be popular. OSCAR WILDE, The Critic as Artist
If you think of humanity as one large body, then war is like suicide, or at best, self mutilation. JEROME P. CRABB, War Quotes and Quibbles
Accursed be he that first invented war. CHRISTOPHER MARLOWE, Tamburlaine the Great
I think a curse should rest on me — because I love this war. I know it's smashing and shattering the lives of thousands every moment — and yet — I can't help it — I enjoy every second of it. WINSTON CHURCHILL, letter to a friend, 1916
War makes rattling good history; but Peace is poor reading. THOMAS HARDY, The Dynasts
Vietnam was the first war ever fought without any censorship. Without censorship, things can get terribly confused in the public mind. WILLIAM WESTMORELAND, Time magazine, Apr. 5, 1982
When the rich wage war, it is the poor who die. JEAN-PAUL SARTRE, The Devil and the Good Lord
War is like love, it always finds a way. BERTOLT BRECHT, Mother Courage and Her Children
In order for us human beings to commit ourselves personally to the inhumanity of war, we find it necessary first to dehumanize our opponents, which is in itself a violation of the beliefs of all religions. Once we characterize our adversaries as beyond the scope of God's mercy and grace, their lives lose all value. We deny personal responsibility when we plant landmines and, days or years later, a stranger to us — often a child – is crippled or killed. From a great distance, we launch bombs or missiles with almost total impunity, and never want to know the number or identity of the victims. JIMMY CARTER, Nobel Lecture, Dec. 10, 2002
War ... it paid well and liberated children from the pernicious influence of their parents. JOSEPH HELLER, Catch-22
The second best thing about space travel is that the distances involved make war very difficult, usually impractical, and almost always unnecessary. This is probably a loss for most people, since war is our race's most popular diversion, one which gives purpose and color to dull and stupid lives. But it is a great boon to the intelligent man who fights only when he must—never for sport. ROBERT A. HEINLEIN, Time Enough For Love
You can't say civilization don't advance ... in every war they kill you in a new way. WILL ROGERS, New York Times, Dec. 23, 1929
In time of war, when truth is so precious, it must be attended by a bodyguard of lies. WINSTON CHURCHILL (This is an example is a sick politician.)
In war, truth is the first casualty. AESCHYLUS
It's funny how those who are most pro-war are almost always the guys who never had to fight in one. JEROME P. CRABB, War Quotes and Quibbles

Plastic Surgery Gets a New Look
By JAMES GORMAN
Published: April 27, 2004
VANCOUVER, British Columbia— Cosmetic surgery is getting a makeover.
People want to look younger, rather than different -- to have the face in their mind's eye, not the one in the mirror. They want quicker, less expensive and less invasive procedures, and new medical technologies are feeding and increasing the demand.
Along with the incremental improvements come other changes. Surgeons are seeing the numbers and percentage of men increase, and treating younger as well as older patients as cosmetic improvement becomes a lifelong pursuit.
''I think there is a paradigm shift in thinking, right at this moment,'' said Dr. V. Leroy Young of St. Louis, chairman of the emerging trends task force for the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. The group had its annual meeting here this month.
Surgeons, Dr. Young said, are backing off from more aggressive surgeries and moving toward nips, tucks and injections. Operate early and often might be the new motto. Traditional cosmetic self-improvement, in the form of breast enlargement and nose surgery, are still significant, but surgeons see their field in the process of transformation.
The change, said Dr. Brian Kinney of Los Angeles, a member of the trends panel, ''comes for three or four reasons.''
''One is younger people who aren't going to wait,'' Dr. Kinney said. ''They want to start surgery now. Smaller budgets. They don't want to spend as much money. Also, they don't have time. We're an instant-gratification society.''
Drastic changes in appearance are the rare exception, despite the potential influence of television shows that feature extensive surgery like ''Extreme Makeover'' and ''The Swan.'' More typical is the surgeon who asks patients to bring in their high school yearbooks, to see how to go back to the future.
Another force that continues to change cosmetic surgery is the emergence of new technologies. In the past, liposuction and Botox injections were revolutionary. New parts of the body are always attracting attention. Calf implants never really took off, although they are available. But gluteal implants, for what one surgeon called ''the J-Lo look,'' might take off, although numbers remain very small.
Much more important are a raft of new fillers coming on the market for injection under the skin to fill out the face rather than lift it. The whole idea of the lift, some experts say, is old-fashioned and inappropriate. Gravity is not the enemy of youth, they say, but loss of volume.
Face-lifts live, but they have become very specific. It's not the face, but the brow or midface that is done. And there are new minimalist techniques, some involving new sutures, used to produce the weekend face-lift, so-called because the recovery time is so short.
But most surgeons are holding on to their knives, and few predict that the traditional face-lift will be replaced entirely.
Dr. Sydney Coleman of New York is a partisan, the acknowledged guru of fat injections. He developed techniques and instruments to take fat from one part of the body and inject it in tiny quantities into the face and other areas. Fat is living tissue and, under the right conditions, will survive in its new location.
Dr. Coleman also works with other fillers, and he said these methods, all to restore the volume of the aging face, are replacing old-fashioned cutting. ''Syd really doesn't do face-lifts,'' Dr. Young said. ''And of course, when you've got a hammer, the world is a nail.''
But, Dr. Young said, fillers and more limited surgery might well be the future in the intense worldwide pursuit of rejuvenation.
Another partisan of fat, Dr. Richard Ellenbogen of Los Angeles, made a presentation to the assembled surgeons in which he argued that injecting fat or other fillers could be an alternative to just about every cosmetic procedure like face-lifts, breast augmentations and removing bags under tired old eyes.
The business that seems to be changing direction is a big one. Last year, according to the Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 1.8 million cosmetic operations were performed in the United States. There were an additional 6.4 million nonsurgical procedures like skin resurfacing or Botox injections. In fact, first liposuction and then Botox have changed cosmetic surgery, moving it away from the knife. Dr. Coleman said liposuction was the single most common surgical procedure in the world.
Statistics show that the traditional procedures, if Botox and liposuction are included, continue to dominate the field. But the new developments occupied much of the meeting, as surgeons disagreed about the promise and safety of various procedures.
What was clear was the intense interest in new substances as fillers, and in the approach to aging that suggests filling out is more important than lifting up. Dr. Coleman and partisans of volume say the damage from gravity has been exaggerated. The real culprit, he says, is the loss of tissue under the skin.
A brow lift, he said, tackles the wrong problem. The brow, he said, ''descends only because you're missing huge volume, so yanking it up doesn't really make sense.''

Re: Brann Dailor
I thought you were refering exclusively to the sound (sorry about that). Dailor has some sick chops, but I still feel he throws in too many fills, and his beats seem to be broken up by the fills, rather than complimented by them. He is a very good drummer-there is no doubting that, but I juist feel that in his case, "a little dab will do ya".
I like to think of fills like a person would think of speaking; Why say something in 15 words when you can say them in 5? In drumming, you should do the opposite: play something you play in 5 beats over 15 beats. Of course, drum fills require a lot of finesse, but knowing when brevity and longevity will suit the song best requires more skillty. In my opinion, spreading fills over a long period of time, in other words - playing a fill rarely but making it count each time - has a better effect than filling every 10 beats or so.

Being good is its own reward, but skipping class to go to a race car day with cotton candy is an even better reward. And that's just what some of the K-6 students at New Boston School earned on Friday for meeting their goals and behaving in class.
New Boston Kiwanis on Friday hosted the first — what hopes to be monthly — Terrific Kids Day for village students at the New Boston Stadium.
"This program is setting goals for positive behavior," said Kathy Bender, of New Boston Kiwanis. "They set their own goals, like 'I'm not going to backtalk my teacher,' or 'I'm going to turn in all my homework,' or 'I'm going to not get any detentions.'"
Their teachers tracked those goals for them, and the students and their families could monitor their progress online at classdojo.com. Kids that have met their goals were rewarded by getting to participate in the Terrific Kids Day. Teacher Kevin Akers said he saw a definite positive change in his students.
"They were extremely excited when they heard about the reward they would get if they met their goal. So throughout the last couple weeks, I've seen an increase in interest to go online and check themselves," Akers said. "They're more aware of their actions each day in the classroom and out of the classroom."
Each month the event will feature a different theme. This first one was race cars, and kids from the school got out of their classroom to see a few local race cars and meet their drivers. New Boston Fire Department was also at the stadium, along with go-cart racers an a few street cars. The cotton candy and popsicle gave a little relief from the heat.
"They have autographs books with them (for the race car drivers to sign) and after they get their autographs done, then we'll bring them back to the stands and they'll be presented with a Terrific Kids certificate," Bender said.
She said most of the students got to participate — 204 in all — but a few didn't meet their goals. She hopes this will encourage them to work harder so they can join in the fun at Terrific Kids Day next month.

On our first night in Hawaii I really wanted to try a taste of local Hawaiian food. Of course I used urbanspoon to check out the restaurants in Lahaina and found Aloha Mixed Plate. I noticed that it had pretty decent ratings and at affordable rates.
Aloha mixed plate is located on Front Street in Lahaina. We arrived at 9pm thinking that we'd get a seat immediately. Boy were we wrong. There was a 45 minute wait for our seats! After putting our name on the waiting list, we decided to take the time to explore Lahaina Cannery Mall just across the street from Aloha Mixed Plate. After about 15 minutes, we wandered back to the bench in front of Aloha Mixed Plate to wait for our seats.
The service was ok, nothing exceptional. The seating was on a open patio with yellow and green themed decor. It was a casual atmosphere and very unpretentious. There were tiki torch lamps and outdoor LED lights all around the venue providing the patrons a amber glow in the atmosphere.
I found the food quite average. There was nothing exceptional about Aloha. However, it was good decent prices for large plate of food. Expect $10 for a plate of rice and meat. Even though the food was well priced, the food was average. I would not return here. This place was a miss for me.

Gujarat organizes many cultural festivals round the year; the International Kite Festival that takes place in Ahmedabad is one of them. Kite manufacturers and master kite flyers from across the world come here with various kinds of kites. This festival is held at a juncture in between the end of winter and the beginning of summer season based on the Hindu calendar. People from different parts of India come to enjoy the scene of kite flying. In this festival, you will find different kinds of traditional Indian foods like 'Undhyu' and 'Laddoos'. This festival is famous by the name "Uttarayan" in Gujarat. Apart from Ahmedabad, kite festivals are also held in places like Surat, Rajkot, Vadodara, Nadiad and other places as well. The time of Uttarayan coincides with Makar Sankranti and Pongal festivals that are celebrated in other parts of India.
Not only Indians but also people of various countries join at the International Kite Festival, Ahmedabad. The most suitable place to enjoy the festival is at Sardar Patel Stadium and the Ahmedabad Police stadium, from where you will be able to enjoy seeing the bright colors of the flying kites. During this festival, the markets in this area are flooded with many kites of different sizes and colors. Customers would be ready to buy the kites of their choice at much higher costs as well. You can also visit the kite museum that exhibits different varieties of kites.
There is a historical background for this kites festival. This kite flying festival symbolizes raising the Gods from their sleep. Throughout the history, this festival has been related to kings and their raising powers. Many international participants attend this festival with their colorful kites. The Wau-balang kites from Malaysia, 11 Ayang kites from Indonesia, the giant banner kites from the USA, Rokkaku fighting kites from Japan, Italian sculpture kites and Flying Dragon kites from China are some of the examples. Skillful kite flyers from across the world compete with each other to cut the strings of the nearby kites and bring them down. Many celebrities like well-known artists and politicians also visit the kite flying festival.
The kites in these festivals are usually made of leaves, plastic, metal, wood, nylon or some other materials. The main attraction is the central kite that is made of bamboo and lightweight paper; it has its own unique shape. The color and decoration of this kite makes it exceptional. The main attraction of this festival comes just after the dark when kites with lights in them known as "Tukkals" can be seen flying in the skies. During this festive season, people enjoy the beauty of kites and at the same time, they like to have varieties of food. They love to watch the live performance of the artists but still the main attraction is the kites. People love to enjoy the day flying kites not just in Ahmadabad, but elsewhere too. If you happen to be in Gujarat during mid-January, claim no reason to miss this wonderful festival.

"Everything started with a wordplay on 'Ghetto Guetta,'" Crookers' Francesco "Phra" Barbaglia told Billboard of his new release, "Ghetto Guetta". "After I came up with that, then I tried to translate that wordplay into music. My idea behind making 'Ghetto Guetta' was to use a mainstream break, big chords against simple and effective brass and big drums."
"I played it couple of times in clubs around the world and it went down really well, so I was happy," Phra explains. "After I started playing it at big festivals across the summer, it went down even better, so I was even happier!"

(Steven Lane/The Columbian)
The air was still and silent as the herd of about 60 pregnant alpacas grazed along the grass in one of the fields at The Alpaca Group's ranch in Ridgefield.
As on most spring mornings, the shy but curious creatures grouped together, with an occasional brave soul venturing forth periodically to investigate workers or onlookers.
In a few months, the alpacas will give birth and the shearing season will begin. But this weekend, the animals have a decidedly more energetic and sociable event ahead of them.
Alpacapalooza, in its 15th year, will fill the Clark County Event Center at the Fairgrounds with about 600 alpacas that will participate in a variety of shows and contests.
Along with that, vendors from about 150 farms will be on hand with products including socks, hats, coats, sweaters, gloves and stranger items like lamp shades, wine bottle covers and laundry machine dryer balls.
And the public is welcome to attend -- for free.
"We always get members of the public out here, but we'd like to see even more," said Jeff Williamson, president of the Alpaca Association of Western Washington, which organizes the event. "It's always great for parents to bring their kids. A lot of kids haven't seen alpacas before, and they really enjoy them."
Alpacas, with their long necks and shaggy hair, look like something you might get if you bred a poodle with a giraffe. A herd animal from South America, they tend to have calm temperaments and are much more personable than their larger cousins, llamas.
Ranches like The Alpaca Group breed them as stock animals prized mainly for their hair, which is softer and warmer than sheep's wool and doesn't contain lanolin, the root cause of many wool allergies.
And while the industry is growing, it's still a lot smaller in the United States than it is in South America, where some ranchers have 1 million to 2 million alpacas in a herd. The largest U.S. farm, in comparison, has about 2,500 alpacas.
The Alpaca Group, with about 200 animals, is one of the Pacific Northwest's larger ranches. Founded in 1995, the business has grown and thrived, said Cory McNair, farm manager, whose father was one of the founders.
"As far as livestock goes, they're incredibly easy to raise," McNair said. "They don't rip up the ground, they have padded feet, and they don't eat a lot."
Their temperaments are so passive that some people, McNair included, keep them as pets or for yard maintenance, he added.
"There's something about alpacas that's just peaceful," McNair said. "There's a calming effect about them."
A small economy has sprung up around the Ridgefield farm, with neighbors creating knitted goods and other items out of the company's wool that are up for sale at The Alpaca Group's small store.
In a few months, a winery is planning to set up shop next door, with a patio where visitors can sample vintages and watch the alpacas stroll in the grass, McNair said.
The winery visitors will be welcome to check out the ranch, although the animals aren't generally enthusiastic about being petted.
"As an animal, alpacas are more curious than they are friendly," McNair said. "They're like people, they have all different temperaments. There are always a few that come up first and a few that follow you around."
One of the ranch's older residents, a 17-year-old alpaca named Cindy, is usually eager to be part of the welcoming committee -- especially if it involves food.
"She's great," McNair said. "Once you feed her, she'll follow you anywhere."
The animals usually live somewhere between 15 and 18 years, McNair added.
Cindy won't be heading to Alpacapalooza, but a selection of the ranch's young stud and show alpacas will participate.
"It's nice to have a show that's only five miles away, and this show has really been growing at this location," McNair said. "It's a really good venue."
The ranch has been participating in the event for several years, and one of his favorite parts is watching the kids from 4H show their alpaca-raising skills, McNair said.
"The 4H kids love them. It's just a different perspective than the technology world today," McNair said. "They'll train them and run them through an obstacle course. That's really fun, to see the kids getting so excited about it."

I was only able to access one link, "SoftChip Download Here".
All of the one http://onepiece.myftp.org/hidden/... failed. The connection was reset every time.
The "SoftMii or Preloader v0.29 with Cioscorp v3.3 Guide" link takes me to a site I have to register for and login into.
All of the "http://teknoconsolas.tv/wanin..." links took me to a search engine.
Seems to me this tut is a poor reflection on the site and should either be edited with accurate links or deleted.

I often wonder what it would be like to live within Azeroth, and try to imagine what it would be like to actually be a troll or an orc. The perspective of a gnome brings all kinds of challenges, and is one I don't think I would ever knowingly pick. I have had two gnome characters in my time, but each time the camera perspective has frustrated me to the point where I had to delete them and move on. Despite the issues with their height, I can imagine that living in Gnomeregan when it was, you know, clean and such, was a complete blast. An entire community of tinkerers and engineers, obsessed with creating their inventions despite how dangerous they might become.
I'm sure the roleplay opportunities are endless when you play a gnome, and I have seen nothing more amusing than a gnome warrior charging into fight Void Reaver. But still, the world from a gnome's eyes has got to be pretty skewed, and I don't know if I could ever get myself to do it long term. Unless, of course, the gnome were a Death Knight.

and hey(is for horses), if you use those sleek neon straws it will make it look cool also!
Step 1: Get the materials
*A Nerf Dart(Duh!)
*A Straw(Duh!)
*A Scissors
*And some Elmer's School Glue
P.S. Don't you guys just love the stikyness(I don't think that's a real word) of glue?!
Step 2: Do It!
This Instructable is not for Stefans only standard darts.
Now go shoot the little annoying neighbor kid across the street.
(hee hee)
By the way, I've got 50 brand new, tipped and completed, homemade darts to sell, REALLY CHEAP!
Just contact me(Top Dog). Either keep 'em or sell 'em for a higher price on ebay, I don't care.
Idea from some kid on nerfhaven.com Nerf Haven
oh, and cut the straws a little bit shorter so the dart has 1/2 cm.+ of space in the front of the dart so it has some flexibility there, or else the dart will bounce off of your target (even if it's a suction dart.).
one more thing: i'm having some problems with the glue failing and the straw coming out of the dart after about 5-10 shots.

Okay...I am still awaiting biopsy results, but I have been gluten free for 7 days. Though I can say that I have noticed some change, I still get dizzy at times throughout the day and experience complete brain fog. Should this be diminishing after no gluten?? Will I feel like this for a while? Why do I feel like this if I am not eating ANY gluten? Could it be something else in addition to gluten (like other food allergy)? Could I be experiencing cross-contamination.
I told my husband I was just ready to give up...I'm seriously not; it's just all so frustrating. I don't have my f/u appointment for 3 weeks. I'm wondering if I should have other tests run in the mean time.
Has anyone else had to miss work because of similar symptoms? I just don't know how to best describe this to "non-celiacs"...They just don't seem to understand!
Hoping some more experienced readers will be able to help/give advice! THANK YOU!

Subjects with Personality disorder–not otherwise specified (PD–NOS) are similar to subjects with specific personality disorders and differ, as expected, from Healthy and Axis I Controls on measures of psychosocial function and on various dimensions of personality and related behavior. Accordingly, PD–NOS by General Diagnostic Criteria for Personality Disorder is as valid a PD as any other specific PD by DSM criteria.

Cherry Cheesecake BarsBy Jennifer McHenry on July 2, 2015My first cheesecake experiences happened in my childhood and were all thanks to that no-bake mix topped off with a can of cherry pie filling.

Best No-Bake DessertsBy Jennifer McHenry on July 1, 2015As much as I love baking, sometimes it's nice to whip up a dessert that requires no oven time.

I usually prefer to bake cookie crusts briefly just to make them a bit sturdier. […]Read more

Can I download the show manually?
Yes. There is a direct download link in every post on the podcast website, just under the media player embedded in the post.
Can I be a guest on the show?
We look for knowledgeable people who speak well and have something to add to the conversation. We love bringing new people onto the show. Contact us if you're interested in adding your voice to our community. Grease the skids with Skype and a USB headset.
Why don't you cover service provider topics?
Greg and Ethan are strong in enterprise and data center networks, but not as strong with service provider environments. Besides that, SP has a good deal of community in the form of NANOG, mailing lists, as well as IRC. Even so, we do touch on service provider issues from time to time.
Why do you talk about Cisco products so much?
Cisco products are the products we, as well as the listening audience, have worked with the most. We do our best to represent as many other vendors as we possibly can, but Cisco will continue to be discussed in both positive (and negative) ways that reflect their market position in the networking industry.
Why don't you talk more about certification exams and test topics?
We do cover certification experiences and strategies now and then, but that's not really what the podcast is about. Our content focuses on the work that we do everyday. We want to discuss information that isn't covered anywhere else – in other words, real-life topics and issues.
How much time does it take to produce a show?
Roughly 10 hours. We spend many hours each week scheduling guests, researching topics, and writing the show outlines. A show recording usually takes between 1 and 2 hours. The post-production and publication process takes between 2 and 6 hours.
Why do you have sponsored shows?
We started the podcast because it's something that we wanted to do…a bit of fun where we could give back to the networking community by talking about issues, topics and technology that interested us. Since that time, the audience has grown. We've attracted many extraordinary industry guests. We've captured the attention of networking vendors in Silicon Valley. We've grown a blogging community. We started a forum. As a result, the show has become more expensive and time-consuming to operate.
One way that we recoup our costs (hosting services, recording software, microphones, time away from our families, travel to industry events, etc.) is through vendor sponsorship and advertising. We follow strict guidelines to avoid conflicts of interest, and disclose anything that could be perceived as such to our audience. Sponsored shows are clearly noted in show titles and announced as sponsored in the show intro and outro.
We're also choosy about how we do business. Our ability to voice an independent, honest opinion is critically important to us. So, we won't engage in endorsements or other dubious forms of sponsorship. We are genuinely vendor agnostic, and don't play favorites. So yes, a vendor will sponsor a show, and we'll respect them when they do. But we're not going to knowingly have on vendors with boring topics or garbage products, nor are we going to throw vendors softball questions just because they are paying for the opportunity to share with us.

Shares of disk-drive makers Seagate and Western Digital are trading lower Friday morning after Citigroup analyst Joe Yoo cut his ratings on both companies to Sell from Buy. For Seagate, his target goes to $25, from $37; for Western Digital, to $32, from $53.
Yoo writes that he still likes the companies long-term as a way top play growth in data storage, he sees "meaningful downside" near-term "given overwhelming signs of further demand deterioration of not only PCS, but enterprise as well." He sees 20%-25% downside risk to consensus EPS estimates for the two companies for the December quarter, driven a flattish total addressable market or about 140 million drives (below consensus at 150 million to 155 million) with a lower mix of enterprise drives.
On the PC market, he fears conditions could still get worse near term – and he thinks the bar for 2013 has not been set low enough. He notes that Windows 8 will be a non-event for traditional PCs, with the focus on a plethora of new tablets. Citi sees 2013 PC units down 1% from 2012.
Meanwhile, he adds that enterprise hard drive shipments were down an estimated 27% sequentially in the September quarter. He writes that the "alarming drop" suggests a more cautious stance by enterprise storage vendors.
In this morning's trading:
- Seagate is down 89 cents, or 3.2%, to $27.36.
- Western Digital is down $1.04, or 2.8%, to $35.55.

p.s. this is a crap pick.
i cannot believe you have the hubris to call our fan base 'pathetic'. i welcome any other poster to review your catalog of posts (especially on the browns forum) and marvel and your ineptitude. you are simply and instigator and will never be taken serious. thanks for the ignorance.
See Braylon Edwards and Kellen Winslow (assuming you are willing to extend your disdain to top TE).
You realize we addressed the needs at RB, QB, and RT, right? Only so much you can do.
Indian -
McCoy was in the act of throwing while running towards Harrison. He wasn't trying to outrun the defender, he was committing to the play and taking the hit. Not that my explanation would matter . . . you keep on believing what you want to believe.
fan 53 -
"I say to all of the Browns bashers that want to fire everyone from the ballboys to the owner every two years to find a front runner and jump on that bandwagon"
sorry man, but your guy grossi was one of those bashers (i.e., believing in the NY media and popping mangini in the mouth at the first press conference, ripping every draft pick other than BQ, bashing learner for being and absent owner and then bashing again for hiding behind the show, etc). i totally agree with you about the browns bashers . . . just don't understand how you could give him a pass.
one of the reasons why they are a disaster is because you had someone like grossi taking a shot at the administration every chance he had . . . people blindly bought into the hype without thinking on their own.
fred -
shameless billionaire? how much money have you donated to the Cleveland Clinic and other similar organizations? way to introduce politics (re: corporate greed) into a sports blog.
what would sulu do?
this is the second time you failed to realize that there are 16 games in a season. kind of lose credibility when you can't pick up on the basics. moronic.
then put moore in at receiver (God knows he has better hands than anyone else from the receiving corp).
totally agree (re: loving the game). not sure if you caught it, but he was totally in marecic's face after he let the pass from behind the line of scrimmage (translation: lateral) fall to the ground without covering it up. it was the first preseason game and JT was on him like white on rice.
some where, lebron is feeling rather introspective.
hats off to H&H . . . this is the proper way to build the foundation. love this move!
stuckey signed with arizona
Leeds -
Elite players like Couch, right? Kind of pointless when you have all kinds of holes throughout the line up.
There are a lot of reasons why we have the lack of talent. One of the main reason is because we reorganize the coaching staff once every three years (something that grossi promoted without hesitation). To be fair, I think grossi was right . . . Mangini had to go. But to call out the new administration as he has-- especially when the new staff is trying to find multiple solutions to address the switches to offensive / defensive philosophies (again, something that grossi campaigned for), then you have to consider getting the most picks to assist in the transition. grossi would be better respected if he allowed the coaching regimes to congeal rather than tear them down at the first opportunity.
Well said, Dave.
Happy to see someone call out Tony for who he is . . . a contrarian.
Joke -
What I love about your analysis is the fact that it is riddled with specifics and solely based on hingsight (re: available players).
What you and Tony don't get is the fact that we don't have the luxury of picking elite players . . . you need the foundation first and then introduce the high end talent (ask couch). With a consistent front office and Heckert at the helm of the draft board, there is no doubt in my mind that will be more aggressive and get the elite player / players (kind of like what ATL did this year and NE does every year).
i think cincinnati's war room takes grossi more serious than the brown's fan base . . . this will be the second time in so many years that the bengals snipe grossi's front runner (re: maualuga and green)
Loved the question posed by Mr. P (re: "will the janitorial night shift be able to use the facilities? where would the players be expected to go?") Great play on words. Tony either doesn't have a sense of humor or didn't realize that this was a bogus question. Well played.
we got a HC with no experience and a flawed offensive game plan. anyone who doesn't loath mangini can see that we just took a step backwards.

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has reserved $1.2 million in airtime in North Dakota, according to a source with knowledge of the ad buy, an indication that Democrats are optimistic about an open seat that might have easily slipped away from them.
The ads will run between October 2 and Election Day.
Democrats are pinning their hopes on former Attorney General Heidi Heitkamp, who is polling close to or ahead of Rep. Rick Berg in several recent surveys. The latest, a Mason-Dixon poll conducted for KVLY/KFYR TV, showed the two candidates statistically tied, with Heitkamp at 47 percent versus Berg's 46 percent.
The National Republican Senatorial Committee has not yet purchased time in North Dakota. NRSC officials are confident about Berg's chances, but they believe the race will be a single-digit affair.
The Democratic buy is the latest in a series of advertising time the DSCC has reserved in October in states with key Senate races. The committee has also reserved $4.5 million in Missouri; $3.2 million in Montana; $7.5 million in Virginia; and $5.1 million in Ohio (a Democratic source says the Ohio buy is likely to grow).
The NRSC has bought a total of $25 million in Wisconsin, Missouri, Montana, Virginia, Nevada and New Mexico.

Two years after being asked to relocate; they wait to be apprised of the new township site
Dorokha Town: It's been two years since shopkeepers in Dorokha town were asked to move their shops to another location, since the property belonged to the school.
The shopkeepers have stayed put, refusing to move, because they want a place identified for a new town.
"It's not possible to dismantle our shops and move out," town secretary Indralal Dungana said. "The dungkhag office asked us to move in 2011 to our own place, but without a town plan."
The shopkeepers, he said, have given their word that, if an area is identified for a new town, they will move, even if they are given a month's time to shift.
Right now, the town is located in Dorokha, just below the farm road. There are 27 different kinds of shops housed in semi-permanent structures, which are closely built. It has become a central place for those coming from other gewogs, like Denchukha and Dumte, and travellers from other districts.
Indralal said there are about 216 license holders in Dorokha dungkhag, who are waiting for a new township, especially with the feeder road connecting the dungkhag. "Our feeder road will in future become a highway to Haa," he said. "If shopkeepers return to their village, it would affect their business because there's no proper road," he said.
The current town, which gradually came up from 1984, is established on over four acres of land, earlier belonging to the dungkhag. It is close to the road, located at zero point, where the farm road ends. The first place, as one enters Dorokha, is the town, and then come the dungkhag and village.
"If the dungkhag is sure where the new town will be established, we'll move," shopkeeper Shera Dorji said. "Because of this, we aren't even allowed to renovate or repair our houses."
"Also the demand for more commodities is increasing and this means we have to make shops bigger," another said.
Dungpa Kunzang Thinley said several discussions were held and it was decided shops would not have to be dismantled until land has been identified.

LONDON - Benedict Cumberbatch is going from Sherlock to Shakespeare.
London's Barbican Centre said Wednesday he will play Hamlet at the venue next year.
The Lyndsey Turner-directed production of "Hamlet" will run from August to October 2015, and the 12-week stint in the 1,160-seat venue is guaranteed to be a hot ticket. Cumberbatch has gained fans around the world for his role in the BBC TV drama "Sherlock" as cerebral sleuth Sherlock Holmes.
Producer Sonia Friedman called Cumberbatch "one of the most gifted and exciting actors of his generation."
Cumberbatch, who recently appeared onscreen in "The Fifth Estate," "12 Years a Slave" and "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug," won an Olivier theater award for his starring role in "Frankenstein" at Britain's National Theatre in 2011.
