1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a method of detecting possible porosity zones in the subsurface from seismic velocity data and presenting results on a two-coordinate display indicating spatial positions and depths with a color coding corresponding to the depth interval of the zones.
2. Background of the Invention
The reflection technique of seismic exploration in principle involves the generation of an elastic wave at the near surface which penetrates the earth and is partially reflected back to the surface by the boundaries between successive geologic formations in depth which differ in their density-velocity (acoustic impedance). The reflections are detected by instruments placed on the surface at varying distances from the source of the initial wave. From such detectors the times needed by the wave to travel down through the earth and return after being reflected by each formation boundary at varying depths and possibly having differing dips are recorded, as are any modifications to the waveform.
In practice the seismic waves are initiated at a succession of regularly spaced points (shot points) along the line of survey, and recordings as described are made for each shotpoint. According to such procedure, many of the recording locations are used several times with the source at different locations. Hence this approach is known a "multiple ground coverage" and leads to use of the "CDP" or common-depth-point method developed originally by W. H. Mayne (Common reflection point horizontal data stacking techniques, Geophysics Vol. 27, 1.927-938, 1962). This is an imaging technique which simulates data from a coincident source and detector at the surface using "views" of essentially the same area in the subsurface from different angles as produced by the different source to detector separations. All the recordings in a CDP collection share a common symmetry point at the surface between the source and detector. Profiles of CDP stacked data are usually displayed as vertically plotted wiggle traces along a section with the horizontal axis being the location of the particular synthesized coincident source/detector position and the vertical axis being the two-way travel time of the reflections which are now enhanced by the summing process inherent in the stacking.
The multiple ground coverage view of the subsurface supplied by the survey when combined or stacked according to CDP imaging to form the profile requires the use of stacking velocities. These velocities are derived from an analysis which determines the two parameters which mathematically describe each hyperbolic trajectory corresponding to a reflection event in the trace collections going into the CDP stack. One parameter of the hyperbola is the stacking velocity while the other is the stacking or normal incidence time for the particular event as it will appear on the resulting CDP stacked trace. (See M. T. Taner and F. Koehler, "Digital Computer Deviation and Applications of Velocity Functions", Geophysics, Vol. 34, No. 6, 11-859-881, 1969).
Another relatively common format for displaying seismic data starts with the CDP stacked seismic section which is then further processed to approximate vertical traces of relative or absolute velocity as functions of two-way travel time. Varying colors which relate to the velocities of the geologic formations are then often superimposed to present such information for interpretation. Examples of this kind of display are the SHADCON™* and Seislog™** sections produced on the Applicon ink jet plotter (Applicon, Inc., a subsidiary of Schlumberger, 32 2nd Avenue, Burlington, Mass. 01803).
This type of color display also aids in the detection of low velocity zones in the subsurface but does not make direct use of moveout curves in the CDP gathers. Hence this previously available type of display in conjunction with the one described by this invention offer more certainty and precision in the detection and localization of velocity anomalies in the subsurface.
The object of this invention is to provide a display for identifying zones of low subsurface velocity which may indicate porosity.
The specific method involves tracking particular reflectors horizontally along stacked seismic data. Arrival times of these reflectors are determined for every shotpoint or every other CDP position. Using such times, the same reflectors can be tracked also on appropriate velocity analysis displays which have been computed for at least every other CDP point along the seismic profile. For each time corresponding to a reflector of interest a stacking velocity is picked and plotted according to its CDP or shot point number, preferably on the same horizontal scale as the seismic section and with a velocity scale increasing downward.
Each of the velocity plots are then overlain one on another in pairs in order to bracket all possible zones between the reflectors of interest. The process of overlay is designed to predict the deeper velocity based on an intervening uniform or slowly varying regional velocity and may include a semi-empirical alignment to compensate for any development of discordant dips between two reflectors as well as some smoothing for presence of noise. The overlain pairs are arranged such that when the measured stacking velocity curve from the deeper reflector approaches or rises above the value predicted for it from the shallower reflector this may be easily identified and should indicate an intervening anomalous low velocity occurrence.
For any two reflectors which are closely spaced in arrival time (usually intervals of 1000 feet or less) a quantitative calibration or prediction procedure may be used to overlay the pairs of plots. First the interval velocity between the two reflectors is calculated according to the Dix equation (See Sheriff, R. E., Encyclopedic Dictionary of Exploration Geophysics, Soc. of Expl. Geophys, Tulsa, 266P, 1973.) using the stacking velocity-normal incidence travel time pairs picked from the velocity analyses on a shotpoint by shotpoint basis. This gives actual but noisy estimates of interval velocities. Lateral running averages across 3, 5, 9, and 15 terms are then calculated to smooth these velocities. Both the actual interval velocities and smoothed averages are plotted by shotpoint or CDP locations for comparison and further analysis.
Another set of calculations is performed in connection with this calibration step which gives estimated or predicted deeper stacking velocities from the shallower stacking velocities of the particular curve pair bracketing an interval of interest. The predictions assume there are no anomalous zones between the two reflecting boundaries and use in turn the Dix interval velocities and their smoothed valves. Plots of the smoothed interval velocities are compared to the plots of the "raw" Dix interval velocities. From these displays calibration "points" or key points of consistency are determined empirically and these can be used to align the pairs of graphs of the stacking velocities despite discordant dips and to give emphasis to the likely low local velocity anomalies.
The pairs of velocity curves predicted and measured should track each other (after the described adjustments) in good approximation unless some zone between the two reflectors contains a porous zone or other material change which could cause an anomalously high or low velocity as referred to the averages used in the calibration step. A possible anomalous low velocity is signaled by either a curve convergence or crossover, where the deeper velocity curve approaches or rises above the prediction using the shallower one. This may indicate porosity and for pronounced effects, porosity containing gas. Once a zone of probable porosity is indicated by its velocity effect, an attempt is made to corroborate its validity by demonstrating that the anomaly is shown consistently by all reflector velocity curve pairs which bracket the zone of special interest.
All curve pairs used for a particular seismic profile are plotted on one display. The pairs are aligned vertically starting with the pairs which bracket the shallowest interval. Pairs are arranged according to reflection arrival time with the curve for the shallowest reflector combined first with the next deepest reflector, then the next deepest reflector and so on. After the deepest reflector has been used, a similar sequence is initiated starting with the next arriving reflections. This process continues until all possible combinations are included on the display.
The objective of this display is to make zones of anomalous low velocity easily recognizable by their vertical alignment and consistency over all the intervals which contain them. All crossover or convergence zones in each individual combination pair which show possible anomalous low velocity are marked with one color--usually red--so that they are readily identified. Vertical alignments of anomalous zones are color coded (usually other than red) according to the inter-reflector interval in which they occur.
Next a calculation determines the "aperture" with respect to the particular seismic spread length and the thickness of the interval between the reflector pairs in each combination. A length is derived which indicates the width in feet below which the basic method is unlikely to reliably resolve an anomaly. A dashed horizontal line with each dash corresponding to this distance is placed below each curve combination pair on the final display for reference purposes. Intelligent use of the appearance of an anomaly through different apertures can give important clues as to whether the anomalous zone lies below the vertically standing plane of the seismic profile or is in fact laterally in whole or part out of such plane.
So that the manner in which the above-recited features of the present invention will become apparent, and the way in which they are attained can be understood in detail, the appended drawings which form a part of this specification will be described. The illustrated embodiments and the above brief summary convey all the particulars of the invention.
It is to be noted, however, that the appended drawings illustrate only typical embodiments of the invention and are therefore not to be considered limiting of its scope, for the invention may admit to other equally effective embodiments.
The present invention, both as to is organization and manner of operation, together with further objects and advantages thereof may best be understood by way of illustration and example of certain embodiments when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a CDP stacked seismic profile.
FIG. 2 is a contoured velocity analysis of a type suitable for determination of stacking velocities.
FIG. 3 is an individual plot of reflector number 5 of FIG. 1 stacking velocity curve having a horizontal axis corresponding to shotpoints or CDP's along the seismic profile and a vertical axis corresponding to stacking velocity in feet/second.
FIG. 4 represents an overlain pair of velocity curves for reflectors number 1 and number 5 of FIG. 1.
FIG. 5 represents a final display constructed to show all of the possible combinations of reflector velocity curves overlain in accordance with the method of this invention.
FIG. 6 is a graphical representation of the aperture calculation utilized in accordance with the method of this invention.
Referring now to the drawings and first to FIG. 1, there is shown a typical CDP stacked seismic profile. The vertical axis is the two-way travel time of a reflection measured in seconds. In this case the time coordinate ranges from 0.0 seconds to 4.0 seconds. The horizontal axis represents the lateral distance along the survey line in CDP increments which are the particular locations for coincident source/detector positions, as synthesized by that method and as previously discussed. Each vertically oriented wiggle trace positioned along the horizontal axis represents the CDP data sampling denoted by shot point number in this case with numbers ranging from 105 at the left to shotpoint 160 on the right. The prominent, and visually coherent horizontal lineations seen on this profile represent reflections off the interfaces between geologic formations and in this way give a view of the subsurface structural "relief" or geometry. Examples of strong reflections are seen on FIG. 1 at approximately 1.7 seconds and 2.6 seconds.
The gathering of seismic reflection field data using the CDP technique and its standard processing is well known and is described in detail by Professor Milton B. Dobrin in his book Introduction to Geophysical Prospecting (McGraw Hill, 1952) to name just one common reference.
The method used in this invention involves tracking continuous reflections over lateral distances across a CDP seismic profile such as that shown in FIG. 1. The particular reflections to be tracked are selected because they represent tops or bottoms of zones of geologic interest or else because they bracket such zones. They are chosen on the basis of interpretability and lateral continuity. The more continuous seismic reflections usually also provide for better or more interpretable data on the seismic stacking velocity analyses as shown in FIG. 2. Two-way travel times for reflections of interest are noted on a shot point by shot point basis (or CDP point basis as appropriate) for all reflection events that are tracked.
Referring again to FIG. 2, there is illustrated an example of a contour type velocity analysis. Along the vertical axis is a stacking velocity scale measured in feet/second. The range of values for this particular display is from 5,000 to 19,000 feet/second. The horizontal scale measures two-way reflection time in seconds--in this case from 0.0 seconds to 3.0 seconds. The theory underlying such analyses is well known and discussed in some detail in the previously cited reference by Dobrin. The usual basis of the velocity analysis consists of a large number of trial or test fittings of a CDP collection of traces with hyberbolic move-out curves representing a sampling of the appropriate range of stacking time and stacking velocity. In FIG. 2, the analysis display shows the collective results of such test fits as a "map" of goodness-of-fit using some coherence measure. Pronounced contour closures denote the primary reflection events and the centroids of such closures have as coordinates the desired stacking parameters needed by the CDP approach.
It is also known that abrupt lateral changes in the subsurface lithology distort stacking velocities determined for reflections at depth below them, hence making the relation of stacking velocities to interval velocities quite complex. Zones of porosity (possibly hydrocarbon-filled porosity) are likely to have a slower stacking velocity as picked from such an analysis for the reflectors below such zone than would be seen where little or no lateral velocity change occurs. For subsurface geometries which are relatively simple (flat layers, conformable dipping surfaces, etc.), stacking velocities bear fairly straight forward relationships to interval velocities. In fact, the magnitudes of stacking velocities usually relate quite directly to the lithology, these magnitudes increasing as one goes typically from shales and sands to sandstones and limestones and then dolomite. In all circumstances however, a rock of reservoir quality will show a reduced velocity as compared to that same rock without appropriate porosity. Where gas is the pore fill fluid, the velocity reduction is further emphasized.
According to the method described here reflections of interest are tracked laterally according to stacking velocity on an analysis-by-analysis basis by using the times for these reflectors from the seismic profile to aid in the event identification on the velocity analysis. For each recorded event time and for each analysis a velocity is picked. Referring to FIG. 3, the velocities so obtained are first plotted separately for each reflection according to the analysis location. The horizontal axis of this plot consists of velocity analysis locations along the line of the survey. Velocity in feet per second plotted in the sense to show increase in a downward direction is then plotted vertically. This same procedure is undertaken for each reflection tracked on the profile. Plots thus obtained represent stacking velocity trends as picked for each reflector of interest.
Referring to FIG. 4., each of the individual velocity plots is then overlain in pairs with all other velocity plots in order to effectively "bracket" all zones between reflections. This process may be viewed as predicting a deeper stacking velocity from the velocity curve of the shallower reflector assuming the interval between the two particular reflectors undergoing comparison is uniform, or varying only regionally in interval velocity. A semi-empirical alignment compensates for the possible development of discordant dip between the particular reflector pair. Plotted velocity values for the deeper of the two reflectors are connected with dashed straight lines for purposes of easy identification.
Any overlain curve pair under study should approximately follow one another if the lithology between them is uniform. Local changes in the intervening layers will result in their divergence or crossover. When the dashed predicted velocity curve for the deeper reflector approaches or crosses over the curve for the shallower event, this may be readily recognized on such display as a possible zone of anomalously low velocity. The word possible is necessary since the basic underlying data has a noise component which is rarely insignificant. Anomalous low velocity zones could indicate possible porosity and even hydrocarbons in appropriate circumstances.
The basic mathematical relations for a calibration procedure start with the Dix Equation as follows: ##EQU1## Vd =velocity of the deeper reflection of a pair Vs =velocity of the shallower reflection of a pair
Td =time of the deeper reflection
Ts =time of the shallower reflection
Vint =interval velocity between reflection boundary pair
This calculation is applied for any two reflections that are closely spaced (about 1000 feet or less). A velocity estimate for the interval between the two reflections being compared according to the Dix equation (loc. cit.) is made for every spatial velocity analysis location. The result is a set of "noisy" interval velocity values. Spatial running averages are then calculated across 3, 5, 9, and 15 terms and these are subsequently plotted laterally in a manner similar to the basic stacking velocities themselves (refer to FIG. 3). These averages help to identify and to eliminate some of the effects of noise which are ever present.
Yet another calculation based on a simple rearrangement of the Dix Equation is used to predict stacking velocities for the deeper of the two curves being compared from the shallower curve values and the smoothed interval velocity values. Specifically the Prediction Equation is: ##EQU2## Vd =prediction of velocity of deeper reflection Vs =velocity of shallower reflection
Td =time of deeper reflection
Ts =time of shallower reflection
Vint =average interval velocity
Since the mechanics of the calculation rest again on the Dix Equation they therefore make use of the normal associated assumptions. This prediction calculation gives velocity values which might be expected was no local variations in the lithologic velocity between the two reflections being compared occur. Both the raw Dix interval velocities as previously discussed along with their smoothed values are used here. Calibration points are determined empirically from the comparison of the smoothed value plots and the predicted value plots. Such points are needed to determine empirically where the original velocity trend curves should be aligned for overlay and comparison.
When all possible combinations of velocity trends are overlain according to the method described, a final display showing them all is constructed such as seen in FIG. 5. The horizontal and vertical scales for each curve pair are the same as described for FIGS. 3 and 4. All curve combination pairs are aligned beneath the proper surface reference positions on the display. The shallowest reflections are placed at the top of the presentation with comparisons in turn with deeper reflections taken in depth order. Then the next shallowest reflector is treated in similar fashion and so on. Places along the profile where the dashed line (deeper velocity values) rise above the solid line (shallower or predicted velocity values) denoting possible low velocities are colored pink or red for visual emphasis.
Where low velocity anomalies line up vertically and bracket a suspected low velocity zone in common, this is interpreted as strong corroboration of the reality of such anomaly. Vertical lines are now drawn to delineate the anomalous zone. The vertical band between such lines is color coded or coded graphically as shown in FIG. 5 according to the geologic interval in which the anomaly is thought to occur. The specific interval is in fact localized by the curve pair bracketing the narrowest interval within the vertical band of consistent low velocity indications. Vertical zones showing an anomaly in more than one geologic interval are codes with stripes corresponding to the colors of each intervals in which an anomaly in interpreted. For reference, the physical dimension of the far source-receiver offset for the particular seismic profile under analysis is placed to scale on the upper part of the display.
FIG. 6, is a diagram which relates to an "aperture" calculation where the raypaths from source to receiver for two reflectors are shown. Snell's law is ignored for the deeper reflector and the transit along the raypaths are taken as V1 and V2 respectively, where these are the stacking velocities. The aperture determines the limitations of the technique of this invention in resolving an anomaly according to the depth of the reflectors (and their corresponding depth interval or separation) and the maximum offset of the acquisition geometry used in the particular survey. The aperture is determined by a set of equations which encompasses several crude approximations. First, an interval thickness, d, between the two reflectors is estimated as follows from the two stacking velocities and the corresponding arrival times or, ##EQU3## next, the effective source-receiver offset, X, at depth, D, to the shallower reflector is determined using d from Equation (2) and the surface offset parameter Xm and by similar triangles, ##EQU4##
All quantities and parameters are also noted in the simple model depicted in FIG. 6 and represent simple approximations of subsurface parameters. Anomalies in an interval of lateral extent less than that of the aperture cannot be deemed reliable since not all the raypaths of the CDP gather will consistently "see" it. The time/velocity pairs indicated for use in this equation (V1 T1, V2 T2) are averages for the particular reflection which as noted are crudely estimated from the stacking velocity analyses values. This calculation is done for each reflector combination on the final display and provides an important interpretive reference. A dashed horizontal line indicating the aperture is plotted to scale below each combination curve pair. Each dash in fact corresponds to the aperture dimension.
To summarize, a structural seismic section will show the topographic relief of the boundaries of rock formations in the subsurface. The display herein described is designed to show lateral variation of velocities which relate to properties of rocks and in particular porosity. Zones of anomalous low velocity and hence possible porosity should be easily recognized on the display by their vertical alignment, consistency, and the color codes. Such a display should aid in the detection of stratigraphic traps of oil and gas which result from the existence of porosity.
In its broad sense therefore, the invention involves a seismic method for identifying the presence of low velocity subsurface zones which might constitute hydrocarbon reservoirs. Broadly, the method constitutes the steps of first plotting velocity curves for a plurality of seismic reflections according to common depth point location. The velocity curves may be stacking velocities if desired. Each of the velocity curves is then overlain in best fit manner with all other velocity curves in turn. The overlain pairs are then analyzed for the purpose of identifying zones of consistent low velocity via consistent disparity of deeper velocity curves with shallower velocity curves bracketing a common zone. The consistent zones thus identified suggest the presence of low velocity in the subsurface formation.
More specifically, the seismic method of low velocity zone identification comprises marking reflections of interest on a stacked seismic profile, timing the reflections of interest by shot point and listing them and then plotting the listed times on the velocity analysis. Stacking velocities are then selected which correspond to the selected reflections, the stacking velocities being taken at the plotted times on the stacking velocity analyses. Stacking velocities are thus obtained on a shot point by shot point basis and seismic reflections of interest are tracked according to stacking velocity on an analysis-by-analysis basis using the times from the reflections from the seismic profile.
Selected velocity curves are then plotted for each selected reflection and the velocity curves are overlain in best fit manner with each of the other velocity curves taken in turn for each selected reflection. A semi-empirical alignment is then conducted to compensate for possible development of discordant dip between the particular reflector pairs and the overlain pairs of velocity curves are arranged in order of depth, the overlain pairs of velocity curves defining low velocity disparity zones. An aperture equation is then applied giving an aperture dimension for each reflector pair and the resulting aperture length is then plotted on the display of overlain pairs for reference in confirming the reality of possible low velocity zones. The low velocity disparity zones are then colored to enhance the visual identity thereof and finally vertical lines are placed on the display to bracket zones of consistent low velocity disparity.
In cases where the overlain curves are within 250 msec. of one another a calculation is conducted to establish a more precise calibration.

I wanted to love this game. I really did. But it is so broken and based on pure luck (especially for the badges), that I can barely give it a 2 star. I would give it a 1 star if not for the fact that it seemed well intentioned.

You should add a sort of par number of clicks, like with golf. Like, "this puzzle can be solved with 4 clicks", and then you get points based on how many clicks it takes the user to solve. Or maybe add a clock that also gives points based on how fast they do it. Also...MORE LEVELS! 5 stars!
There should be a click limit, otherwise you can solve any of these by randomly clicking.
More! MORE LEVELS! This was fun!

Great game, though things could have been explained a bit better in the tutorial. At first, I thought the max capacity was representative of total atoms, not each individual element. The interchange of words made it slightly confusing. Either way, as a biochemist, I love love love that there is a chemistry game on here. I was thinking of making one, but obviously this requires a lot of know-how that I don't have.

Word of advice for people. Holding down the button for the rocket constantly is a waste of fuel if you're at top speed since you will lose it upon hitting the floor. So only rocket til you hit your top forward speed (thrust), then let go to regain fuel until you see it drop again significantly.

Nice concept, but so much improvement needed. I highly recommend the creator reads the comments and takes the criticism well. I like these types of game, but when there are so many flaws, it makes it not fun at all. I give it 2 stars, one for style, one for effort.

EA Regen edges Cebuana Lhuillier
MANILA, Philippines – Jimbo Aquino scored 19 points to lead EA Regen over Cebuana Lhuillier 73-69 Monday in the PBA D-League Foundation Cup at the FilOil Flying V Arena in San Juan.
Aquino, a first round pick by Barangay Ginebra in the 2010 PBA Draft, shot nine points in the first quarter alone to help the Delta jump to a strong start.
EA Regen's formidable frontline of Raymond Almazan and Ian Sangalang combined for 25 points, 20 rebounds and five blocks.
The Delta chalked up their second straight win after beating Cagayan Valley 103-92 last Thursday to improve to 3-2 while the Gems slipped to 4-3.
Alvin Padilla paced Cebuana Lhuillier with 15 points while June Dizon contributed nine points and 16 rebounds.

In the wake of poring through many item postings searching for models that fit those criteria, we tried a few hoverboards and observed them to be fundamentally the same in outline and execution. Notwithstanding, the Swagway X1 is one of the main hoverboards sold by an organization with a client administration office that really answered to our solicitations for help—imperative since it's possible characteristic of how responsive the organization will be to client bolster demands. A committed "learning mode" makes the Swagway less demanding to begin on than the others; we felt more happy with going speedier on it than on different models, as well. What's more, it has a UL-guaranteed charger, which not all contenders do, alleviating expects that it may torch your home. On the off chance that you should purchase a hoverboard soon, it's what we'd get.
It's a rationale framework inside the board that balances out the machine. It's greatly difficult to balance out, so yes it's not just my parity. For instance, we utilize like the same sort of gadgets like you use on an automaton to balance out. The issue is to make the calculations, the right calculations, to consolidate the knowledge in the board and in your mind. So we spent around four months to make that work.
The sight is so recognizable now that it's just about adage: a superstar on a hoverboard, spouting honest richness, as her company looks on and sits tight for the unavoidable online networking post.
You likewise have only six minutes of flying time before expecting to revive, which brings 35 minutes with the additional charger and a fun-killing six hours without it.
They begin shipping Friday, so any day now you may see individuals with an excessive amount of cash to smolder screeching all over town, six minutes on end.
Hoverboards worked likewise on a basic level to skateboards in that they required energy by the rider and most would get to be futile in landscape not suited for them, i.e. water, ice and other low footing surfaces, put something aside for the all the more intense Pit Bull model.
There was a sign by the lake in Courthouse Square which obviously read NO HOVERBOARDING. Griff Tannen and his group were apparently likewise accused of disregarding this neighborhood mandate, and in addition bringing on genuine harm to the front of the Hill Valley Courthouse, which they slammed straight into amid their hoverboard quest for Marty.

Just recently we took a look at the AMD K10 architecture in the form of the Phenom X4 processor, and while it doesn't have the power and clock speeds to directly compete with the Core 2 on a clock for clock basis, AMD has one idea in mind; cost, that is where Phenom can't be argued on.
With the top model Phenom costing around the $250 AUD mark, it's a hard processor to go past, especially when you consider you can have it with either an AMD chipset to support Crossfire or an NVIDIA chipset to support SLI and Crossfire (that's coming soon folks).
While the X4 is the more costly option (though in today's world the cost of a $250 processor isn't really that expensive), AMD is going to start shipping a cheaper option based on the same K10 architecture, and yes it keeps the Phenom branding, it's a direct descendant of the X4, but with a few modifications.
On the chopping block today we have the new kid on the block designed to take over where the Athlon 64 X2's price range is set. Help us welcome to the Phenom family the triple core X3. How well does it perform? Stick around while we find out!

Donald Trump Tells His WV Supporters To Not Vote In the Primary (VIDEO)
Donald Trump telling his supporters to not vote in the primary and "save their vote" for November was predicted in 1972Read More »
Hi folks – I know that there has been a lot of discussion on redstate about the power of prayer, and that so many of us are raising our voices to the Lord in this election.
I know that not everyone here is Catholic, and I do hope I'm not treading on sensitive ground – but I just felt I had to pass this on – Father John Corapi, who appears on EWTN television, has suggested a nine day Rosary novena starting on Monday, 11/27, and continuing up to and including 11/4. 9:00 PM in whatever time zone you are in is what he suggested as the prayer time.
Catholics in the pro-life movement use the Rosary as a POWERFUL weapon against the pro-death forces that are running amok in this country and the world. Since there are incredible risks to pro-life laws in this election, along with other terrible risks to our country, I think it's an apt prayer to use.
Thank you for your love, support, and encouragement. Your words have really uplifted me over the past few uncertain weeks.
God is more powerful than any poll!!!! And now back to prayer!Mike from SI, NYLonely red guy in a blue state

Loved the article.
Tomino has been my favorite creator/director for quite some time now. I love his stories and the unscripted fill he gives them. Although I will admit, when he does something bad its really bad. I can't wait to see what this new project is.

We didn't get it, but this HK/Western B-movie guy used an unauthorized music sample from the show.
I know it sounds kinda weird, but I liked the original Gundam more than Zeta. Feels more focused, and Amuro has a reason to be in the show. And Char's Counterattack would probably have more impact if that Transformers animated movie didn't cover a lot of the same ground, first. Does make for a nifty fan video, though.
BTW, Bandai tweeted that they got an exclusive interview w/ Mead for the U.S. home video release of Turn A.

Yay Tomino! I've been looking forward to this, I always figured when you got around to him it'd be a good article to point people to who want a good overview of his career, and as usual, you deliver.
Wholeheartedly agreed on Xabungle - its cast is tremendously lovable and memorable. It's often been said Tomino shows are addictive, but with this one in particular, it's easy to just pull out a random episode any old time later and have a blast. Never fails to earn a smile.
Maybe it's been a while since you've seen any of it, but what'd you make of ZZ? Seems most people either don't like it or only like part of it, so I'm curious.
He is? Might just have to do with where I hang out and what I've read, but he's never seemed particularly disliked from what I've seen. Of course it might have to do with how Gundam Seed came out during the time I was getting really heavy into knowing all there was to know about Gundam, and fans had plenty of other people to complain about...
It was actually 1993 btw, just to be the snooty know-it-all before anyone else gets the chance to be snootier. :B

Ah, V Gundam, the legendary show which, according to the Tomino rumor mill, he actively DISPISED, and lobbied for a sticker to be placed on it that basically read "Don't buy this!"
Tomino has always been a love it or leave it kind of guy. He can come up with great worlds and character types, but doesn't seem to be able a coherant story behind them. Brain Powerd leaps at me as an obvious example, ZZ Gundam's Glemy is another example. But Tomino is kind of interesting, if only for his perceived bullheaded-ness, which always made me root for the guy, even though a lot of his stuff gets confusing near the middle part.

|Don't think I've seen anythign non-Gundam related by Tomino aside from King Gainer which I recall digging when my brother was picking it up. I'm a little sad to hear it didn't do too well over here. Had no idea the "Kill 'em All" attitude started before Gundam and Ideon. I'm kind of interested in checking out some of these other series.

My two favorite works of Tomino are probably Turn A Gundam, and Overman King Gainer.
In particular I love how the characters in Turn A Gundam have realistic motives, and have problems that can be seen in the world. The Moon People want to recolonize Earth, but the Earthlings don't want the more advanced Moon People on the planet. That and the voice cast is really good especially Tetsu Inada and Takehito Koyasu. UNIVERSE!
As for Overman King Gainer, it has Adette Kistler in it.
My problem with Zeta is that while the series looks nice Tomino bungled the story by having the Titans be shallow, insane villains that never really have an actual ideology. They're basically just the SS in space. Halfway through Tomino basically gives up on the Titans and simply replaces their leaders with Paptimus Scirocco who has different motives all together. Say what you will about Logos but at least they seem to have a motivation for all the people they killed (they hate Coordinators).
Although Zeta is the perfect way to add Metal Wolf Chaos into Super Robot Wars simply insert Michael Wilson as the Earth Federation President, and Richard Hawk preforms his coup d'état and creates the Titans to preform his acts of villainy.
I just love Tomino when his actually happy and not trying to come up with new ways to kill off characters.
What Japan likes and what the western world likes can be very different. For example Kira Yamato is one of the most despised characters in the history of anime in America, but in Japan he rivals Char and Amuro as one of the most beloved characters in the history of Gundam. As for Uso Ewin, checking out Newtype favorite character of the decades poll he doesn't appear on the 90's list so his not popular.
Kind of interesting that Mike made the V Gundam mistake, as V Gundam's failure caused Bandai to create the AUs to restore the ratings, and improve merchandise sale.

|What a timely choice for such an article, especially with Bandai having just released the original Mobile Suit Gundam series on dvd. (before I logged in, there was an ad for it on top of this forum's web page ) I'm just enjoying watching this original series and seeing what started this whole big Gundam thing going. Excellent article. I've been waiting to see the Turn A Gundam series, but the article and poster's comments here make me want to see it even more.

Star of the Seine sounds like a series I would really enjoy, but a quick Google search shows absolutely no options for someone who only knows English. Alas.
I'm familiar with some of Tomino's work, but obviously just a small percent of it! I'm going to have to look into some of his other works.

It's always nice to read another of Mike Toole's articles, even if I don't usually get to comment on most of them these days.
To make a long story short, I can certainly appreciate a lot of the work Yoshiyuki Tomino has done for Mobile Suit Gundam over the years, as well as some of his other unrelated projects, but I also share the hope that he will get at least a few more opportunities to work on something new before his time finally runs out. It would be a shame if he never directed another full length animated project again.
I agree that Turn A Gundam was, quite fittingly, probably the best thing he had done for the property, precisely because it's simultaneously very different on the surface yet extremely familiar in terms of the underlying themes. Many of his strange quirks and bits of random weirdness still make an appearance, of course, but they're usually kept in check by one of his most interesting worlds and a relatively coherent narrative. A more cynical mind would remark that Tomino may have almost tried to copy the look and feel of a Hayao Miyazaki production in certain respects, but it's still quite creative by Gundam standards and has enough original or at least unusual elements to stand out on its own.
Having real or perceived influences isn't entirely bad, in my opinion, and sometimes taking a few risks within a specific context requires looking outside the box for other sources of inspiration. The concept of absolute originality almost seems a myth by this point in history, when there's really little that hasn't been done before, one way or another, in both anime and fiction.

You may have already heard that Tomino personally requested it be removed, but as for the reason...well, here is his answer at a panel a few years ago:
This particular episode is known for having some especially dreadful animation, so that may be it. But really, who knows, there may be more to it than that.
I'm well aware of that. Still, if there's particular ongoing disdain for a character here or there or anywhere, you tend to hear about it one way or another, and I'd never come across anything of the sort. Still, the polls you link to bring up a good point - perhaps it's not so much of a matter of dislike as him not being as well loved as the many other protagonists. Either way, I don't doubt it's been so long since anyone's cared to talk about it...

Reading this sentence made me wish I could send electric shocks through the Internet to your keyboard, sir. This idea is TERRIBLE. Sullying the good name of Metal Wolf Chaos like that. You should be ashamed of yourself. Ashamed.
Dude, hardly any anime fans in America even know who that character is, let alone consider him "one of the most despised characters in the history of anime in America." AH BUH BUH BUH, you're about to say something about something-or-other from 7-10 years ago, but you are still mad wrong: what you're saying is only true when limiting things to an incredibly small (yet very vocal) minority of anime fans on the Internet.
And speaking of small yet vocal minorities of anime fans on the Internet: for those wishing to hear Mike talk more about Garzey's Wing and Yoshiyuki Tomino aka "the George Lucas of Japan," (for all the positives and negatives that designation conveys) you can listen to his podcast appearance here. One look at our show notes will reveal that we're never going to be getting any Japanese sponsors!
Be forewarned that you also have to listen to me talk about these things at the same time.

Name me a counter example then (not being rude, I am just asking for who do you think is more hated), who can still get that much hate after 5 years? Most characters who get complaints either have a large fanbase (something Kira lacks in America), or are forgotten in a year.

So who is this ultra annoying character in Char's Counterattack?
You know, with "Island" in the title, I was first thinking the episode might have been naughty like the hot springs episode debacle with Outlaw Star, then I thought maybe something really too gruesome for TV happened on said island (besides I can't imagine Tomino suddenly inserting a fanservice-y episode in any Gundam). Well other than spoiler[Tiffa's nude swimming scene in Gundam X].
I see no mention of Gundam X at all. It really was unloved. =<

The "ultra annoying character" is likely either Quess Paraya (Who causes a number of other characters to wind up dead because she's a deluded, selfish little teenage brat), or Hathaway Noa (son of Captain Bright Noa, who is probably the biggest loser this side of Zeta's Katz Kobayashi).
As for Gundam X, Tomino had no involvement with it, so it wasn't mentioned.

KUCHING: One of the first tasks of new Chief Minister Tan Sri Adenan Satem will be to decide on the Barisan Nasional candidate for the Balingian by-election in Sarawak.
State Legislative Assembly Speaker Datuk Amar Mohd Asfia Awang Nassar said no matter how soon polling is to be held, it will be during Adenan's tenure.
"So it is the decision of the new Chief Minister (to decide on the candidate)," he told a press conference here yesterday.
Asfia confirmed receiving a letter of resignation from the Balingian seat on Wednesday from outgoing Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud.
He notified the Election Commission of the resignation yesterday for it to decide on when nomination and polling would be held.
A by-election must be held because the vacancy occurred more than two years before the expiry of the current term of the state legislature on June 20, 2016.
The EC will meet on March 6 to discuss the vacancy.
Taib, who has been Balingian assemblyman since 2001, is to become Yang di-Pertua Negeri.
He is scheduled to receive his instrument of appointment from the Yang di-Pertuan Agong in Kuala Lumpur this afternoon.
He will then take his oath of office at the State Legislative Assembly Complex here tomorrow before the Chief Judge of Sabah and Sarawak.
Asfia said the appointment of the Head of State was made by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong after consultation with the Chief Minister.
He said this was provided for under Article 1 of the state constitution.
He added that the Chief Minister in turn was appointed by the Head of State under Article 6(3)(a).
"The Governor shall appoint a member of the State Legislative Assembly who in his judgement is likely to command the majority of support in the assembly," he said, referring to the article.
