New Zealand's multibillion-dollar energy industry will become uneconomic if fracking is banned from drilling operations, an industry report says.
Banning the controversial practice could potentially endanger the future of the lucrative sector, says the report, prepared by New Zealand-owned Todd Energy.
Fracking is a method used to pump fluid into wells under great pressure to fracture the oil and gas bearing rocks so they can flow better. The Todd report says the fluid used is up to 99 per cent water, with the remainder made up of chemical additives, most of which have common applications around the home.
Posted on the company's website, the report lifts the stakes just three weeks ahead of the scheduled publication of the parliamentary commissioner for the environment's inquiry into fracking - "hydraulic fracturing".
Todd's conclusions highlight the importance of the industry to New Zealand's energy supply and coffers and raises the possibility of major oil and gas players walking away from uneconomic prospects.
The result of a three-month research project, the Todd report has been written as its submission to the PCE inquiry. Close to 180 pages long, it is the most comprehensive industry report into fracking published in New Zealand.
It says opposition to fracking in New Zealand is being based not on evidence, but on misinformation and emotion.
The 2010 movie Gasland, which received significant public attention, has also been comprehensively discredited, the report says.
Yesterday Todd Energy chief executive Paul Moore said the success of his company's petroleum operation depended on it being able to continue to frack.
"We need to do it - but we also need to assure the public that we're doing it well. We believe the way to do this is to be totally transparent. That way we are confident the public can be educated that fracking is safe and environmentally sound," he said.
Mr Moore said it was not Todd Energy's intention to stir up anything by making its submission public before publication of the results of the PCE inquiry.
"All we want to do is honestly say to everyone that we are wanting to do the right thing, that we are fully committed to New Zealand and our environment."
Pointing out that the petroleum sector annually contributes $2.2 billion to New Zealand's GDP and employs 6000 people, the Todd report claims fracking has been directly responsible for the success of almost every currently-producing oil and gas field in Taranaki.
It argues the technique has been used safely and successfully in New Zealand for more than 20 years and has become the standard treatment for maximising production from deep gas wells.
It says fracking is an essential technology for the development of these wells, including those being drilled at Todd's Mangahewa gasfield inland from Waitara.
The Todd report says the company has so far performed a total of 12 fracks in five wells, and there have been no incidents of fresh groundwater contamination.
Todd Energy is a major player in the New Zealand energy scene with interests in the Mangahewa gasfield, the McKee oilfield north-east of Waitara, the Kapuni gasfield, and the Maui, Pohokura and Maari oil and gas fields.
It plans to invest $760 million in further development of its Mangahewa field over the next few years, the work including drilling at least 20 more wells, adding millions to New Zealand's GDP and creating more than 1000 jobs.
Royalty payments will be about $45 million each year.
Natural gas provides more than 19 per cent of New Zealand's primary energy supply and 18 per cent of electricity supply. About 247,000 New Zealand households and 10,000 businesses use gas.
"The petroleum sector is a valuable contributor to the New Zealand economy and way of life," the report says.
"As production from the large Maui and Kapuni fields winds down, hydraulic fracturing has become an increasingly important tool in ensuring long-term security of natural gas supply and maintaining the benefits it provides to New Zealand."
Contributes $2.2 billion to GDP every year
Provides more than 6000 jobs for Kiwis
Each worker produces about $525,000 in labour productivity, which is five times the national average
Estimates show the Government received $1b from the oil and gas sector in the 2009-10 year
Since the 1950s, more than 350 wells have been drilled both onshore and offshore
Most of New Zealand's oil and gas industry is in the Taranaki basin
Industry body Petroleum Exploration & Production Association believes the country is underexplored, saying "a substantial find" is likely in the offshore Great South Basin to the south of the South Island
This story has been edited to fix a subbing change and clarify the explanation of fracking in the third paragraph.

Stormclouds by RechkaWatch
©2013-2016 Rechka
This started as an exercise in environment design and grew from a tiny thumbnail into this strange landscape. I don't like the waterfall too much but it looked a bit barren without it. And I have no idea why that tree is pink. It's just a pink tree, ok? Ok.
omg i love this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very nice!
Beautiful piece!
This is beautiful. I just assumed the pink tree was a cherry tree.
Magnificent.. I love it. Every part of it. <3 Incredible work I wish I could do that^^
Gorgeous! I love the waterfall. I think it is really a nice touch and I like pink trees.
Aw, it's gorgeous! Peaceful, but also expectant; like one is waiting for something... and is okay with waiting. I love this.
This is really beautiful. The lighting/shading and detail look beautiful.
wow, too bad the res ain't any larger :/ nice mix of colors
I think the waterfall adds a tranquility to the piece. Instead of fearing the storm maybe the person under the tree is anticipating it? Very beautiful work!
wow! this is awesome!
nice tree
stunning colours!!
the picture's composition flows very well
This is a very strange scene, but I really like it
I really like the tree
This is a great piece. I love the color in the tree and how the waterfall moves my eyes. I also like the little person relaxing after the boat ride to enjoy the sunset just off the page. I can't see it but I know it is also beautiful just by the little figure there.

Snail Games: Details of Crime and Punishment in Age of Wushu
Age of Wushu's open PvP world creates a Wild West atmosphere in the game. Players walking the streets can witness killings or be challenged themselves. Snail Games has countered this madness with a few unique options. Though killing players nets large amounts of silver, it comes with Infamy and the ire of the entire server.
Killing players without a legitimate cause (rival school, defense) adds Infamy. The first change a player may see when Infamy increases is to their name color. White to Orange, Orange to Red, and Red to Purple are the show the increasing levels of evil deeds committed. When Infamy reaches "Orange", other players can place a bounty for the offending player's arrest. Bounties attract attention to villainous players. Constables, of the NPC or player variety, can track the infamous player down and try to take him or her out. A successful arrest will yield a handsome sum from the original victim. The criminal will be taken to the nearest jail.
Wanted Constable Comparison
Each server can have up to 1000 Constables. Both Wanted and Constable Players will be denoted by a circling graphic on their character. Players that see a blue chain walking up to an orange Sword may want to stay clear of the upcoming skirmish, or aid one. Constables are held under tight scrutiny, player will be removed from service if their Infamy gets too high. A no nonsense officer is one thing, but vigilantes are unattractive for the government.

With the days drawing in, it's definitely time that i got some lighting sorted out for my commute.
As usual, i want to be a little different and get something that i can fully mount on my head rather than the bike itself - probably on a strap that i can put over a beanie hat or helmet.
I've seen a few headlight-only options on eBay (basically for fishing etc) but was wondering whether there was something a bit better with front and rear lights and perhaps a battery pack on the side - otherwise i shall have to cobble something together myself.
Cheers, Matt

Kenmore dishwasher leak
My Kenmore model 587 15182402 dishwasher is leaking at the bottom of the door, about a cup each time. I was thinking of replacing the door bottom gasket ($15), but the part dealer said many customers had tried to return this part because it didn't fix the leak.
He said the door/gasket won't stop a direct spray, and to check the spray arm, how?
Any advice?

April 18
NEW YORK (AP) _ The country's top tax collector has been named
the new president of the American Red Cross.
Mark Everson, the commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service,
comes to the post as the charity restructures itself after intense
criticism over its response to Hurricane Katrina.
Jack McGuire has been interim president since December 2005,
when Marsha Evans resigned because of friction with the charity's
board of governors. Her resignation coincided with congressional
hearings critical of the Red Cross' uneven performance in
responding to Katrina.
Everson, who will take the Red Cross post on May 29Th, has
served as I-R-S commissioner since May 2003.
Before that, he was a vice president of S-C International, a two
billion dollar food services company.

I don't hear the fuel pump when i turn the key on. fuses are fine. tank is about 3/4 full. the car ran before i put it away for 6 months. the car isn't in a good spot as it sits to drop a fuel tank, and it also isn't in a good spot to be towed either. any suggestions as to getting the fuel pump running, or if it could be another issue? also i notice my SES light doesn't come on when you first turn the key for it's self diagnostic checks. it always used to. any ideas about that? maybe could these 2 issues be related?

ANSWER by dandd , March 25, 2011
I would definitely say that no SES light is a big issue, because that means the computer is not working properly, so the fuel pump will no be turned on by the computer. The initial spark out put is independent of the computer on this car.

Chinese workers and army soldiers were racing to sweep snow-covered highways and unclog railway routes for millions of travelers trapped by cold weather. More than 67 million people have been affected by the weather and economic losses are expected to reach as much as $3 billion.
Blizzards have snapped power lines and destroyed houses and farmland, prompting fears of food and energy shortages. Twenty-four people have died and some 827,000 people have been evacuated in 14 different provinces, according to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Over the past week snowstorms have hit the provinces in central, eastern and southern China. The snow has hit places that are used to mild winters, not extreme wintry blasts.
The snow and sleet have paralyzed roads, railways and airports, leaving tens of millions of travelers marooned. Many of them are bound for home ahead of the traditional Lunar New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, which falls on February 7.

Additional Information
Important InformationAbout Asociación Arariwa
Asociación Arariwa is a large non-governmental organization that started offering microcredit in 1994 to improve the quality of life, skills and equity of the population in the rural Cusco region of Peru. Arariwa serves the southern Andean provinces of Peru, and is distinguished by its efforts to reach the very poor, who often live in isolated rural areas. Arariwa fosters village banking, supports savings accounts, promotes access to education, and empowers women entrepreneurs (who make up 78% of its borrowers).
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Unlike Lee Daniels' last two films, his legally titled "Lee Daniels' The Butler" went wide in its first weekend of release, and it sure did pay off. Though Indiewire's Sunday report is typically exclusive to limited release indies -- we'll get to that in a minute -- it seemed worth leading off with what is clearly the box office story of the weekend, wide or limited. The Weinstein Company scored a $25,010,000 gross from "The Butler" from 2,933 theaters, which gave it a clear spot at #1 and significantly upped its awards season potential (Oprah Winfrey is as close to a lock for a nomination as they come at this time of the year). The reported $30 million budgeted film outgrossed "The Paperboy" seemingly in its first minutes of release (that film took in $693,286 last fall), while it should top the $47,566,524 "Precious" grossed in 2009 by next weekend.
As for the platform releases, a trio of promising Sundance titles -- Sony Classics' "Austenland," IFC Films' "Ain't Them Bodies Saints" and RADiUS-TWC's "Cutie and the Boxer" -- all found good-not-great numbers in their first weekends.
Jerusha Hess's "Austenland" -- which stars Keri Russell as a Jane Austen-obsessed woman who heads to a resort themed around the author -- had the best average of the three, grossed $42,633 from 4 theaters for a decent $10,658 per-theater haul. How it manages as it expands will be the true test, particularly for a romantic comedy aimed at women (which tend to have strong holding power).
IFC Films set David Lowery's acclaimed "Ain't Them Bodies Saints" in 3 theaters in New York and Los Angeles, and saw a similarly so-so $9,600 average as it grossed $28,800. The film -- which stars Casey Affleck, Rooney Mara and Ben Foster -- will roll out to the top 10 markets next weekend.
Doc "Cutie and the Boxer" -- which won the directing award at Sundance for Zachary Heinzerling -- hit 3 theaters as well via RADiUS-TWC. The result was a $21,093 gross and a $7,031 average. That doesn't compare well to RADiUS-TWC's numbers for another Sundance 2013 doc, "20 Feet From Stardom," which they released earlier this summer and saw turn into the season's documentary breakout hit. Notably this weekend -- its tenth -- "20 Feet" became the first doc of 2013 to hit the $4 million mark, a very impressive feat.
The weekend's best per-theater-average actually belonged to French import "You Will Be My Son," which Cohen Media Group released on a sole screen. The Gilles Legrand-directed film about two men working on a vineyard grossed an impressive $15,469, giving it the best average of any film in release this weekend.
The best average for a holdover, meanwhile, went to the fourth weekend of Woody Allen's continuously overperforming "Blue Jasmine." Like "The Butler," it seems like a safe bet for a summer film to take some Oscar nods (in this case for Cate Blanchett's staggering lead performance). That's certainly aided by its box office performance. In week four, the Sony Pictures Classics release went to 229 theaters and grossed $2,359,395, averaging a strong $10,303 as it took its total to $9,489,976. The film is now tracking slightly behind Allen's 2011 megahit "Midnight in Paris," which was at $13.9 million by the end of its fourth weekend. However, that film had expanded to nearly 1,000 theaters by this point which makes the comparison problematic. When Sony sets "Jasmine" to that wide number, it will be much more clear how close it can come to the Allen record of $56.8 million that "Paris" grossed.

Austin, Texas ROBERT S. WEDDLE
Texas Furniture. By Lonn Taylor and David B. Warren. (Austin: Uni-
versity of Texas Press, I975. (Pp. xiv+200. Illustrations, appendix,
notes, glossary, bibliography, index. $20.)
When Miss Ima Hogg died in the summer of 1975 at age ninety-three,
she represented the last of a distinguished line. Her father, the first native-
born governor of Texas, was allied with the reform movements of his era
and laid the foundation of the family fortune at Spindletop. Her brothers
built on that foundation to become business leaders of the state, while Miss
Ima, who survived the other members of her immediate family by a genera-
tion, earned the title "First Lady of Texas" for her taste, style, and phi-
lanthropies. Her interests ranged the gamut from antiques to mental health,
so she cannot be simply categorized. Yet, it is not too much to say that
she was to the cultural history of Texas what her father was to the political
and her brothers to the economic history.
This book, a project of the last decade of her life, is a by-product of
her interests. A connoisseur of American furniture, she chose the rare Bayou
Bend Collection which she gave to the Houston Museum of Fine Arts;
and, proud of her Texas heritage, she restored several nineteenth-century
Texas homes, among them Varner-Hogg Plantation and Winedale Inn.
The two interests came together when she noted the distinctive characteris-
tics of Texas furniture crafted before the factory replaced the cabinetmaker.
Sturdy, utilitarian, often crude but sometimes ornate, the furniture had a
charm of its own.
Convinced that the furniture had not attracted the attention it deserved,
Miss Hogg acted with her customary directness. She enlisted the assistance
of Lonn Taylor, curator of Winedale Inn, and David B. Warren, associate
director of the Houston Museum of Fine Arts, and began a listing of early
Texas cabinetmakers and a search for representative examples of their work.
This handsome book is the result of that collaboration.
The text includes a perceptive sketch of the society that produced the
furniture and a discussion of the craftsmen, their tools, methods, and
materials. More than two hundred items are pictured and described in
detail; and more than eight hundred and fifty cabinetmakers are included
in an annotated checklist. In addition, maps pinpoint the centers of furni-

Speaking days after new FA chairman Greg Dyke highlighted the "frightening trend" of reduced numbers of domestic players in the top flight, Hoddle claimed it was time to "show some teeth".
English players made up only around 32 per cent of teams' starting line-ups in the Premier League last season and Hoddle fears that figure will only continue to dwindle.
Any attempt at a quota system would be hampered by European employment laws but Hoddle insists the matter still must be explored.
"We all know it is difficult, because at the end of the day the rules are the rules and the Premier League will just abide by that," he told BBC Radio 5 Live's Sportsweek programme.
"We have got to show some teeth. If it is a maximum of five (foreign) players and the rest have to be English, whatever we can do with the rules, but it always seems they come up against a brick wall.
"Maybe the government could be helping that, but it is a bigger, deeper issue for politicians and the FA to get together, because this 32 per cent is going to get less and less each year."
Hoddle, who guided England through to the knockout stages of the 1998 World Cup, believes quality coaching from a young age remains the answer.
He said: "We have to focus in on English talent and be bold enough to say if foreign players are coming in to fill our clubs aged 17, 18 or 20, then we have to build a 10-year plan which allows these lads being taught by the best coaches - being paid good money, which is what the Dutch did - and bring them through where they master the ball first.
"There is definite talent out there, we just need to source it."
Meanwhile Rio Ferdinand believes the massed ranks of foreign players in the Premier League is "disgraceful."
The Manchester United defender, who came through the ranks at West Ham, told The Mail on Sunday: "Having so few English players in the Premier League diminishes the English team, of course it does.
"Look at the Manchester City game recently against Newcastle. There was barely an English player on the pitch, three out of 22 starters.
"That is a disgrace.
"If you look at it and ask whether there should be a stipulation that you have a minimum number of players who are English, even just in your squad, I think that should happen.
"If you look at a lot of teams, there are England players who aren't playing for their clubs - yet we're hoping to go to a World Cup and do well!"
Although it would be nigh-on impossible to implement, Ferdinand would look to copy the example of Turkey, adding: "I would do what Turkey do, and have limits.
"In that country, clubs can have a maximum of 10 foreign players on the books, and no more than six in any 18-man matchday squad.
"I know that European laws won't let a legal quota happen. So you can't do that. But if you want to protect English football and its heritage and its future, something like that has to be done."

Pros: Handling on bumpy streets; easy to fold
Cons: Poor quality and customer service
The swivel front wheels on the Baby Jogger Double City Series can make maneuvering in tight environments a hundred times easier. It is an ideal option for families living in the city. The swivel front wheels on this Baby Jogger double jogging stroller also lock in place so the unit can go straight for walking in a more open environment. In addition to the great swivel mechanism, Baby Jogger offers one of the easiest folds in the industry. The patented Quick-Fold Technology is the only true one hand folding system in the market. It makes taking the Baby Jogger stroller in and out of the house or car a breeze. The Baby Jogger City Series features the Quick-Fold which certainly has a "wow factor" which not often found on other joggers. The Baby Jogger Double City Series is designed to easily fit through standard 30 inch doorways.

Tube combo guitar amplifiers are the path the finding the warm vintage tone you're after. Combo units are a pocket-friendly way to acquire a speaker and amp in one complete package. Smaller venues and at home practice are the ideal space for compact units as they have the power to let you be heard, but also the capacity to keep the volume lowered, should your neighbors require it. Classic rock n' roll formed its signature sound around the creation of the tube amp. As electric guitars became more popular in the 50s and 60s, the tube amp became the main way to let that unique fuzzy tone be heard. As such, many fans wanted that same gain in their own musical endeavors so combo units were born. By adding in a high quality speaker, the musician could easily play and transport a tube combo amp to parties or gigs, making electric guitar even more accessible to the masses. In these units, the vacuum tube serves as the pre-amp to the speaker itself. Many prefer the tone of a tube pre-amp to the electronic solid state as the warm vibe the tube offers is hard to replicate. The sound must travel through the glass tubing to get that buzzing tone and to some, sounds inauthentic when attempted through an electronic unit. Having the tubing in place also gives you the ability to replace a worn out tube instead of exchanging a costly electrical board. The array of channels and tuning knobs available on most combo tube amps allows you to further customize your sound or even add in a loop or two as featured on the Peavy Classic 30 tube combo or the Line 6 DT25 12. Jazz, blues or even heavy rock guitarists will benefit from the tone, gain, middle and great selection of channel options. Getting you amp to sound the way you want is part of the process and becomes a big part in choosing what amp is right for you. If you aren't playing any particularly large arenas any time soon then a tube combo guitar amplifier is your best bet. Their compact nature and quality components give you the sound you're looking for while still being easy to travel with. Keeping that signature vintage rock tone alive is simple with one of these combo amps.

Problems of Orthodox Formal Capital Markets in Developing Countries, with Particular Reference to Nigeria
In Nigeria and many other developing countries, the formal capital markets, which are essentially orthodox in nature, have proved grossly inadequate in financing business enterprises. These formal capital markets, broadly defined to include banks and other western-type financial institutions and markets, having been largely introduced by expatriates about a century ago, have some major adaptation problems that have made it quite difficult for them to cater to the financial needs of the bulk of indigenous business enterprises. Their operations in such a maladapted form are thus increasingly being criticized in these countries, particularly in Nigeria, where the president and other policymakers often criticize the formal financial institutions and markets as unhelpful in promoting economic development in the desired manner, making the large informal sectors lag far behind.
The formal financial institutions and markets have been functionally unable, or have not cared, to accommodate the financial needs of small borrowers--farmers, small and medium-sized enterprises, and consumers--which account for a majority of economic units. The vacuum thus created in the nation's finances had to be filled. Here the informal institutions and markets, about which we know very little, have evolved to meet, by and large, the requirements of the small, most indigenous enterprises in farming, petty trading, and other activities in many less developed economies.
In the view of the Committee on the Nigerian Financial System ( Nigeria 1976), Nigeria had no financial system under the colonial era; what it had then was a set of financial arrangements within the financial system of the metropolitan country. The committee defined a financial system as the "congeries of financial institutions and arrangements which serve the needs of an economy." The service is rendered through (1) the provision of financial resources to meet the borrowing needs of individual and households, enterprises, and governments; (2) the provision of

'Swamp' goes green with help of carbon neutral plan
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Screaming fans, marching bands, hulking linebackers — and offsetting a carbon footprint.
Which one doesn't belong? Actually, starting at this Saturday's annual football match-up between theUniversity of Florida and Florida State University, they all go together. That's because UF on Saturday will become the first university in the nation to attempt to counteract the greenhouse gases created by a college football game.
To do it, UF and its partners, the Florida Forestry Association and Environmental Defense, are arranging for approximately 18 acres of rural North Florida land to be set aside and managed as a pine plantation forest for 10 years. UF calculates that this is an acreage and period of time sufficient to absorb all the carbon emissions from the game.
Dedee DeLongpré-Johnston, director of UF's Office of Sustainability, is coordinating the effort on behalf of the university.
"This is a way for us to highlight the fact that even routine college events like football games generate large amounts of greenhouse gases," she said. "We also want to show that we can help to counteract these emissions, and that Florida's forests have value beyond their usefulness for paper products."
The land is part of a 100-acre tract being set aside by UF supporters Jim and Winston Bailey. The remainder may be used for future carbon offset projects.
Carbon dioxide, which results from the burning of fossil fuels by power plants and vehicles, is the leading human contributor to global warming. As a result, governments and scientists are seeking ways to offset human carbon emissions through tree growth or other methods that sequester, or store, carbon.
One method already being pursued worldwide involves trading carbon emissions from one source for carbon uptake or storage by another mechanism. The UF initiative falls into this class of efforts, although, unlike others, it seeks to achieve the trade in the same geographic region so that it is more readily verifiable.
DeLongpré-Johnston said that with an anticipated 88,000 fans, this year's game is expected to generate more than 1,750 metric tons of carbon dioxide. One metric ton, the standard measure of carbon dioxide, equals about 2,204 pounds. Carbon sources include fans and the FSU team traveling to Gainesville, lighting and operating the stadium, and lodging.
"We worked with the International Carbon Bank & Exchange to calculate the emissions," DeLongpré-Johnston said. "Individual cars carrying fans to the game will have the greatest impact, producing 63 percent of the game's carbon. Operating the stadium will generate 15 percent, with hotel and private air travel making up 10 percent of emissions."
More details on the calculations are available at the UF Office of Sustainability Web site,www.sustainable.ufl.edu.
To counter that carbon output, scientists in the UF School of Forest Resources and Conservationcalculated the amount of carbon stored in a managed pine plantation tract. Forests sequester carbon because trees take up carbon dioxide and release oxygen as part of normal growth. The scientists determined that 18 acres of managed forest, or about 14 football fields worth, were sufficient to take up and store the game's carbon.
"Private forest landowners own more than 60 percent of Florida's forests, and well-managed forests play a vital role in combating climate change, says Jeff Doran, executive vice president, Florida Forestry Association. "The faster a tree grows, the more carbon dioxide it removes. Since Florida's climate provides optimal growing conditions, our forests can be very efficient scrubbers of greenhouse gases."
To compensate the Baileys for preserving the forest, Environmental Defense, an environmental advocacy group, will pay the family to manage the plot for the next decade. Environmental Defense is now completing a technical review of the project, and will acquire additional offsets as needed to store the game's carbon permanently.
"Florida's 1,300 miles of coastline mean we're the state that is most vulnerable to climate change, so it's especially fitting that this is the first NCAA game to help tackle the problem," said Jerry Karnas, Florida Climate Project Director for Environmental Defense.
DeLongpré-Johnston said an important goal is to raise awareness about the amount of carbon generated on college campuses and the challenges associated with dealing with it.
"At 18 acres for one game, some quick calculations reveal that we would need 126 acres to be managed for 10 years just to offset our football program for one year," she said.

I keep seeing the term "big bore" as applied to rifles.
What the heck is this "big bore?" I would certainly consider a .50 caliber a big bore, as well as something like, say, a .45-70.
But the .30-30, .30-'06, and the wide variety of 7.x mm rounds would seem to fall into a "medium bore" catagory. Problem is, I've never seen the term "medium bore" used.
So what do these terms mean?

A real man loves his wife, and places his family as the most important thing in life. Nothing has brought me more peace and content in life than simply being a good husband and father.
I am not sure there is a definitive description - might be but ... I tend to initially separate by ignition and so small-bore/rimfire is category #1.
Then onto center fire ... well some folks call ''big bore'' anything .30 cal and up - reserving maybe medium for .223. OTOH logically, maybe .30 cal region could be medium, when we consider the true big bores such as 45-70.
If we look at power tho then big bore could include 300Mag, 7mm Mag, 338, 375 H&H ... all the hot loaded options around .30 cal category.
600 Nitro Express too - forget cal exactly but that for sure deserves big bore LOL.
Others yet may use ''big bore'' just to describe sizes that can take large game .. and so .375 H&H as an example could be called such.
See? I have no idea what is definitive

It's all pretty subjective; small bore, big bore. If you're going to Africa you'll hear light, medium, medium heavy and heavy rifles referred to. To me Big bore is larger than .30, since .30 cal is pretty much the standard for centerfire rifles.
+1 for .30 and larger
Stand up for what's right..... Even if you stand alone.
This is what Chuck Hawks says about big bore.
Big bore cartridges include those with bore diameters ranging from .40 to .70 (and larger, should a sporting rifle ever be made with a bore larger than .700). Excluding pistol cartridges that are also chambered in rifles (such as the .44 Magnum), and ancient deer cartridges that happen to have bores over .40 (such as the .44-40 WCF) big bore rifle cartridges are generally intended for tough and dangerous game.
Sounds reasonably good to me.
Just remember that shot placement is much more important with what you carry than how big a bang you get with each trigger pull.

might just be me but even a .22 looks like a big bore if your looking down the wrong end of the thing
anywho I would agree with the .40 and above. Hard call on including the .357 though.
The will to survive is not as important as the will to prevail... the answer to criminal aggression is retaliation. Jeff Cooper
anything 30 cal and above to 40 call is consider medium by most but i call anything about 30 big bore
If that refers to my post - I was mentioning the .375 H&H - a ''useful'' cal (not .357!)Hard call on including the .357 though

"Big Bore" is old terminology that comes from Africa where many of the game animals there required the use of a .40 caliber rifle or greater as mandated by various Fish and Game Commisions.
Medium bore rifles were considered less than .40 caliber.
"Big bore" pistols were generally designed to shoot shotguns slugs or ball such as the "Howdah "pistols that were chambered in various gages to use for personal defense against lions and tigers and other things that thought humans were tasty.
I've seen an old Howda pistol in 8 guage, a double barrel with 10 inch barrels. Trust me, it had some big bores...

Excellence de L'Age Eye and Lip Regenerating Cream is an eye and lip cream for mature women of 50+ years that targets dark circles, puffiness, lack of volume and tone, lines, and wrinkles. This light but intensely nourishing daily treatment helps reduce puffiness and dark circles and smooth fragile contours for an unmistakable radiance. This cream will reduce the appearance of fines lines and wrinkles for a luminous smile and redefined eye and lip contours.
At the outset, I will say that I have used Decleor products exclusively for over 10 years and love them. However, I have extremely sensitive skin and must be very selective about what I use. I've used 2 other Decleor eye gels/creams for years, but at age 51 thought that I wanted to try something with greater anti-aging properties. I was very pleased with the packaging, texture and scent of this product, but after 3 days of use found that it did not work well for my highly sensitive skin. No major problem, but probably some of the ingredients that do exactly what I wanted (plumping, etc.) were just too much for my skin. I did return it, but this is the first time I've returned a Decleor product, ever. I'm sure that for someone with less sensitized skin it would be perfect.
I have always had a problem with dark undereye circles and have been battling the signs of aging (I'm 50). A myriad of products that promise to lighten & reduce the signs of aging in this area have been tried on my skin. A few "helped" but, I swear, within a few days' use, the fragile skin under my eyes truly is lighter and brighter, smoother and more hydrated. In fact, I have had to use far less concealer, which is a plus since it may tend to creep into fine lines (not pretty), and I'm touching the skin less. I am also using it around my lips as directed. Another positive thing I have noticed is that the dewy softness lasts all day long. I look more rested, relaxed and youthful. Since I've gotten all these benefits in only one week, I'm interested to see what will happen as I continue using it. The aroma, silky light texture and quick absorption make this cream a winner. There is a fair amount in the jar, and it takes so little to apply that I'm sure it will last quite a long time, which justifies the price. In the end, though, the fact that it actually works is nothing short of amazing and worth every penny. I should mention that I'm using the eye and lip cream in conjunction with 3 other Decleor treatments formulated for 50+ skin, so I believe they complement one another.
Morning and/or evening, after removing make-up, lightly dab around the eye and lip area, starting from the outside and moving inwards.
