Seeking the Beloved: A Prayer Journey with St. John of Crossby Wayne Simsic
Prayer is not just time set aside for God or the use of certain techniques-it is primarily an intimate relationship with God the Beloved. If we hunger for a prayer that is deeper than words and that we can bring to every part of our lives, no matter what we are doing, then we can turn to St. John of the Cross as our guide. Retreat master and author Wayne Simsic insists that while it's easy to write off this saint as an otherworldly ascetic and mystic, he was actually a down-to-earth and wise administrator, poet, and artist whose writings have great relevance for us today.
In this book, Simsic helps readers discover the gift of contemplative prayer as unfolded by this Carmelite saint, whose longing for a deep intimacy and union with God can become our longing as well.

This is a wonderful book for anyone who is trying to draw closer to God and to pray in a contemplative way. It is put in simple words and easy to understand and just a joy to read. I can say that it has been a big help to both my husband and myself in our individual prayer lives. In fact, we each have a copy and use it on a daily basis. If you have tried St. John of the Cross and/or St. Teresa of Avila and felt it was beyond you, and yet, you still yearn to draw closer in prayer to the Lord, this book will help you to do just that.

Distortion Points Chapter 12
To clear Chapter 12, you will have to craft 7 distortions. Their precise areas can be hard to discover. You will have to develop karma by carrying out and assaulting citizens Witch Supremacy on different structures, all without the Limited Gaze aspect geared up (because it avoids you from acquiring karma). As you get karma, you can go back to familiar maps and trigger cutscenes, which in some cases consist of battles and which constantly end with a battle with a monster referred to as The Editor (its precise kind and attacks differ). The last occasion on the list needs that you have actually initially completed the 6 prior occasions prior to it will appear. The place of each occasion is as follows:
- Near St. Dulche - See our home near the far northwest corner of the map, which was formerly obstructed by a degree 38 anti-magic stone.
- Downtown Amataya - Technique the alley on the right side of the map several times to cause a series of scenes leading up to a boss battle.
- Tettara Desert - See Lucchini's home town, Hidden Astaro, near the northeast corner of the map. You will set off an occasion near the well.
- Wudes Forest - Browse through the Witch's Yard area, a lot of quickly available from the far northwest pillar.
- Brokenturm - From the Select Pillar, start up the stairs just to the.
- Yaptolacca Ravine - Go to the hut where you discovered the medication guy formerly. The scene is activated just east from there. You could require to rob the hut.

Getting the complexity out of fat loss
Losing weight is normally seen as a really difficult task. One require merely browse around to see proof of how genuine that statement in fact is. Folks are constantly seeking ways to slim down. But in the same time society is getting heavier rather than skinnier. There is multiple known reasons for this. But among the most critical precipitates towards the sheer ceomplexity of the problem. There's thousands of studies and countless statistics concerning the science behind fat loss. However the sheer amount of info on the market makes it extremely difficult to manage. Fortunately you will find solutions which wrap-up the most effective science into a straightforward to make use of package. Cutting-edge fat loss supplements assembled a number of the most remarkable findings into a thing that literally requires little more than the usual second to use.
Probably the most effective approach to slim down
Rightnow one of the most basic way to slim down is through something known as CLA. CLA works via a variety of different methods. Among the most important is the fact that it boosts one's natural metabolic process. This may fundamentally rampup fat burning capacity for the absolute ideal. In addition it serves to counteract issues relating to the thyroid. This, consequently, will most likely build localized fat loss within some regions. As an example, it will frequently produce quick work of any belly fat. It will also help to promote muscle growth. This can be especially very important to fat loss as each of that extra muscle may also be burning off calories. And also the increased metabolism will help to create all of the added energy needed seriously to utilize those new muscles and build a lot more. All of this merged makes CLA a fat loss item which requires the complexities of modern science and wraps it all up in one easy to take supplement. E.g. most effective weight loss pills.

I am trying to use a hardware optimized 2D library to zoom (non-interpolated scaling) in and out of an image. Right now I am
- Loading the original image
- Making a copy of the original image
- Using the 2D library to "zoom" into the copy
- Generating textures using glTexImage2D from the images
- Applying them to rectangles that I drew
I can't upload images (yet) but here is a link to a screenshot. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v336/prankstar008/zoom.png
I would like to zoom in and out of the image on the right by a certain amount every frame, and rather than kill my performance by using glTexImage2D every time, I would like to render to a texture. My questions are
- Is this a valid application of rendering to a texture? For clarification, the 2D library takes a pointer to a buffer filled with raw RGB(A) data, and returns a pointer to the new data with the 2D operation applied.
- I think most of my confusion has to do with how textures interact with shaders. Can someone explain the simplest way to apply a texture to a surface in GLES2? I obviously have something working, and I can post snippets of code if necessary.
- Also for clarification, although I'm not sure it matters, this is being run on Android.
Thank you.

The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency has been honored with the Teaming with Wildlife Award for Partnerships for its collaborative research on hellbenders in Tennessee.
Bill Reeves, TWRA chief of Biodiversity, received the award in a ceremony in Washington, D.C. at the Rayburn House Office Building. The award is the culmination of extensive work on the current status of the species of giant salamanders that is endemic to eastern North America.
Hellbender populations were historically abundant in Tennessee and other states. Surveys conducted over a two-year period verified that hellbender distribution and abundance within its historic range have severely declined over the last 20 years.
A team at the Nashville Zoo is developing new reproductive technologies to breed hellbenders in a laboratory setting. It is the goal that when perfected, large numbers will be produced and genetically diverse offspring will be reintroduced into the wild. The Nashville Zoo project launched about five years ago with three male hellbenders and one female from a healthy wild population.
Other partners with the TWRA in the project are Lee University, Middle Tennessee State University, Nashville Zoo, Orianne Society, University of Tennessee, Antwerp Zoo, and the University of Idaho.

I was in Italy two years ago and did not take a phone, Just got phone card from a tabacchi for the couple of calls I needed to make. I will be travelling to either Spain or France this year and Italy next year.
I need advice on the easiest and most cost effective phone to use as my Verizon iPhone 5 doesn't work in those locations.
I would like to take my iPad (also Verizon) and assume i can use it with WIFI only. I could alternately take my Macbook AIr for downloading photos and internet WIFI searches while in those locations.
I would prefer one stop shopping. I am somewhat tech savvy but simplicity would be great.
Any advice would greatly appreciated.

Buy a cheap quad-band unlocked dual-sim-card cell phone on e-bay or Amazon (under $30). Sign up for the free starter Lebara sim card (www.lebara.com) for France - they'll send it to your US address - then top it up when you arrive. Buy an Italian SIM when you get to Italy. Pop the Lebara SIM into one slot and the Italian into the other, and you're good to go. If you want to keep your US number also, buy a tri-SIM phone and take the SIM out of your Verizon phone and put it in as well (I haven't tried this, so am not sure if/how this works).

Hydrophilic vegetable gums have been known and utilized for a variety of industrial applications for many years. They are readily utilized in aqueous solutions in many manufacturing processes such as textile, cosmetic, foodstuff, and the drilling and secondary production of subterranean wells. Of particular importance is their ability to form viscous colloidal dispersions in aqueous environments.
Even in small quantities, the addition of the gum causes an increase in viscosity and in some instances a gel structure develops. This gel formation is especially desirable when minute undissolved solids are present in an environment, and must be maintained in a relatively uniform state of dispersion after agitation has been reduced or terminated. Such conditions are typical in the drilling of subterranean wells for oil, gas, water, and the like. One of the most versatile hydrophilic vegetable gums is galactomannan gum, which has a high tolerance for the presence of electrolytes.
To enhance thixotropic characteristics and enable greater viscosities to be developed from a given amount of the galactomannan material in solution, a crosslinking effect may be utilized. Linear polymer chains can be joined together by materials having two or more functional groups. The crosslinking may involve covalent, ionic-coordination or hydrogen bonds. Weaker bonding, such as achieved through hydrogen bonding, induces a labile structure that is easily disrupted by mechanical force.
The polygalactomannan gums are polysaccharides composed principally of galactose and mannose units and are usually found in the endosperm of leguminous seeds, such as guar, locust bean, honey locust, flame tree, and the like. Guar flour, for example, is composed mostly of a galactomannan which is essentially a straight chain mannan with single membered galactose branches. The mannose units are linked in a 1-4-β-glycosidic linkage and the galactose branching takes place by means of a 1-6 linkage on alternate mannose units. The ratio of galactose to mannose in the guar polymer is, therefore, one to two. Guar gum has a molecular weight of about 220,000.
Locust bean gum is also a polygalactomannan gum of similar molecular structure in which the ratio of galactose to mannose is one to four. Guar and locust bean gum are the preferred sources of the polygalactomannans, principally because of the commercial availability thereof.
Polygalactomannan gums swell readily in cold water and can be dissolved in hot water to yield solutions which characteristically have a high viscosity even at a concentration of 1-1.5 percent. Guar gum and locust bean gum as supplied commercially usually have a viscosity (at 1% concentration) of around 1000 to 4000 centipoises at 25� C. using a Brookfield Viscometer Model LVF, spindle No. 2 at 6 rpm.
There are various rigorous applications that require greater stability under variable conditions than is provided by hydrocolloid gums that are commercially available. For example, it is desirable that a gum which functions as a protective colloid or gelling agent in oil well drilling mud compositions and oil well fracturing compositions exhibit a degree of solution stability and heat stability under operating conditions.
Further, solutions of ordinary hydrocolloid gums are not sufficiently stable under variable conditions of pH and temperature, or not sufficiently stable in the presence of polyvalent metal ions, to qualify for general application in the textile industry for sizing, printing and finishing operations, or in the paper industry as sizing and coatings agents.
Accordingly, it is a main object of the present invention to provide hydrocolloid gum compositions having improved viscosity properties for applications in petroleum, textile, printing, paper and pharmaceutical industries.
It is another object of the present invention to provide dry blends of polygalactomannan gum-containing thickening compositions and high viscosity aqueous solutions produced therewith.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide thickening agents which have superior solution stability and heat stability, and which contribute exceptionally high viscosity to aqueous solutions due to a synergistic viscosity effect derived from the interaction of thickening agent components.
Other objects and advantages shall become apparent from the following description and examples.
One or more objects of the present invention are accomplished by the provision of a dry blend composition adapted for application as a thickening agent in aqueous solutions which comprises (1) a polygalactomannan gum and (2) a copolymer of an α,β-olefinically unsaturated dicarboxylic acid anhydride and a comonomer selected from α-olefinically unsaturated hydrocarbons and alkyl vinyl ethers.
The present invention further provides an aqueous composition having a pH in the range between about 4 and 13, which has superior high viscosity properties derived from the presence of the above-described novel thickening agent.
Whenever the following description refers specifically to guar gum, it is understood that the disclosure is applicable to the other closely related polygalactomannan gums in general, and locust bean gum in particular.
By the term "degree of substitution" as employed herein is meant the average substitution of ether groups per anhydro sugar unit in the polygalactomannan gums. In guar gum, the basic unit of the polymer consists of two mannose units with a glycosidic linkage and a galactose unit attached to a hydroxyl group of one of the mannose units. On the average, each of the anhydro sugar units contains three available hydroxyl sites. A degree of substitution of three would mean that all of the available hydroxy sites have been substituted with ether groups.
Preferred types of polygalactomannan gums for application as a component of the invention thickener composition include guar gum and locust bean gum. Another preferred type of polygalactomannan gum is the hydroxyalkyl ether derivatives which have a degree of substitution between about 0.1 and 3, and which have an alkyl group containing between 1 and about 6 carbon atoms.
Etherification of polygalactomannan gums is generally accomplished with polygalactomannan gums in the form of finely divided powders or in the form of gum "splits".
Guar gum and other polygalactomannan hydrocolloids are derived from certain seeds of the plant family "leguminosae". The seeds are composed of a pair of tough, non-brittle endosperm sections referred to as "splits", between which is sandwiched a brittle embryo layer. The entire structure is enclosed in a tough seed coat.
The endosperm splits are extremely tough and non-brittle. This renders them difficult to reduce into a finely divided state. One method of separating the endosperm splits is described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,132,681. Methods of reducing endosperm splits into finely divided powder are described in U.S. Pat. No. 2,891,050; U.S. Pat. No. 3,455,899; and references cited therein.
Hydroxyalkyl ethers of polygalactomannan gums are readily prepared by the reaction of a polygalactomannan gum with an alkylene oxide containing between 1 and about 6 carbon atoms, e.g., ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, butylene oxide, hexylene oxide and the like.
The reaction of a polygalactomannan gum and an alkylene oxide is conveniently conducted at a temperature between about 20� C. and 100� C. and a pressure between about 15 and 150 psi, in a solvent medium in the presence of an alkaline catalyst such as sodium hydroxide or calcium hydroxide. Suitable solvent media include water, cyclic and acyclic alkyl ethers, alkanones, hydrocarbons, dialkylformamide, and the like, and mixtures thereof. Illustrative of useful organic solvents are pentane, acetone, methylethylketone, diethylketone, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane and dimethylformamide.
The preferred types of copolymers for application as a component of the invention thickener composition are those which are composed of an α,β-olefinically unsaturated dicarboxylic acid anhydride and a comonomer selected from α-olefinically unsaturated hydrocarbons and alkyl vinyl ethers.
Illustrative of α,β-olefinically unsaturated dicarboxylic acid anhydride comonomers are those represented by the formula: ##STR1## wherein R1 and R2 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, cyano, alkyl, aryl, alkaryl, aralkyl, cycloaliphatic, and the like.
Compounds corresponding to the above formula include maleic anhydride, chloromaleic anhydride, 2,3-dichloromaleic anhydride, cyanomaleic anhydride, 2,3-dicyanomaleic anhydride, methylmaleic anhydride, 2,3-dimethylmaleic anhydride, ethylmaleic anhydride, propylmaleic anhydride, butylmaleic anhydride, 2,3-di-n-butylmaleic anhydride, phenylmaleic anhydride, cyclohexylmaleic anhydride, 2,3-diphenylmaleic anhydride dodecylmaleic anhydride, naphthylmaleic anhydride, o-chlorophenylmaleic anhydride, and the like.
Illustrative of α-olefinically unsaturated hydrocarbon comonomers are those which contain between 2 and about 6 carbon atoms, such as ethylene, propylene, butylene, isobutylene, pentylene and hexylene.
Illustrative of alkyl vinyl ether comonomers are those in which the alkyl substituent contains between 1 and about 10 carbon atoms, such as methyl vinyl ether, butyl vinyl ether, octyl vinyl ether and decyl vinyl ether.
The ratio of the comonomers in the copolymer component usually is in a 1:1 ratio, and in some cases the ratio will vary between 5:4 and 4:5. The molecular weight of the copolymer may vary over a wide range between several hundred and several million. In terms of viscosity as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,781,203, the specific viscosity values can vary between about 0.1 and 10.
Illustrative of a suitable copolymer is Gantrez AN(GAF), which corresponds to the structural formula: ##STR2## where n is an integer between about 11 and 700.
The dry blend thickener composition of the present invention is prepared by simple physical admixture of the polygalactomannan gum and copolymer components. The degree of blending and homogeneity of the thickener composition in the dry state is not critical, since complete homogeneity is achieved when the thickener is hydrated in an aqueous medium with stirring.
The polygalactomannan gum and copolymer components are employed in the thickener composition in a ratio between about 0.05 and 15 parts by weight of polygalactomannan gum per part by weight of copolymer.
The aqueous composition of the present invention is prepared by adding the thickener composition to an aqueous medium in a quantity between about 0.2 and 5 weight percent, based on the total aqueous composition weight. On the average the preferred quantity of added thickener composition will be in the range between about 0.3 and 2 weight percent, based on the total aqueous composition weight.
In order to achieve solubilization of the copolymer component of the thickener composition in an aqueous medium, it is advantageous to add alkali metal hydroxide to the aqueous medium to convert the carboxylic acid anhydride groups of the copolymer into the form of neutral salts. Hence, it is desirable that the ultimate pH of the thickened aqueous composition be in the range between about 4 and 13, and preferably in the range between about 7 and 11. The adjustment of pH, and the hydration of the copolymer component, are facilitated by the addition of an appropriate quantity of sodium hydroxide.
If desired, the thickened aqueous composition can be prepared by first dissolving the respective polygalactomannan gum and copolymer thickener components to form individually separate aqueous solutions, and then blending the two solutions together.
The present invention dry blend thickener composition imparts advantageous properties to an aqueous medium when incorporated in the manner described above. The resultant thickened aqueous composition exhibits excellent solution stability under a variety of adverse conditions.
The present invention thickener composition has the unique ability to impart high viscosity to an aqueous medium at a relatively low concentration. This is due to a synergistic viscosity effect derived from the interaction of the polygalactomannan gum and copolymer components of the thickener composition, i.e., as demonstrated in Example II.
The present invention thickener composition is superior to conventional hydrocolloid gums for application in petroleum, textile, printing, paper and pharmaceutical industries.
A particularly important application of the present invention thickener composition is as a gelling agent in a hydraulic well-treating fluid medium, e.g., a hydraulic fracturing fluid composition.
A hydraulic fracturing fluid composition functions to force fracturing under hydrostatic pressure, and it serves to transport the suspension of propping agent into the porous subterranean formations. The hydraulic well-treating fluid medium must exhibit advantageous viscosity and particulate solids transport properties.
Hydraulic fracturing fluids commonly employ a viscosity increasing agent such as a water-soluble polymer to improve the flow characteristics and the suspending ability of the fluids. Carboxymethylcellulose, polyacrylamide, polyvinylpyrrolidone, guar, tragacanth, Irish moss, modified starch, and the like, have been employed as water-soluble or water-dispersible additives to provide pumpable gels having solids suspending properties. U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,483,121; 3,757,864; 3,779,914; 3,818,998; 3,900,069; 3,971,440; and references cited therein, describe hydraulic well-treating compositions which contain novel polymeric friction-reducing gelling components.
Hydraulic fracturing fluids which contain a natural gum, such as unmodified polygalactomannan gum, commonly include a breaker additive to effect a delayed action thinning out of the fluid medium. This facilitates the subsequent removal of the hydraulic fracturing fluid composition from the fractured formation.
Breaker additives include enzymes which under the well-fracturing conditions in a delayed manner autonomously reduce the hydraulic fluid viscosity by degrading the natural gum incorporated as a gelling agent. U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,681,704; 2,801,218; 3,615,794; 3,684,710; and references cited therein, describe new enzyme compositions, such as mannan depolymerase which is derived from a microbiologic source.
The disadvantage of employing natural gum as a gelling agent in hydraulic fracturing fluids is the lessening of fluid loss control caused by plugging of apertures which reduces the permeability of a fractured formation. In the case where a natural resin such as guar gum is employed as a gelling agent in combination with an enzyme breaker additive in a hydraulic fracturing fluid, the hydraulic system is unsatisfactory because the hydrolysis residue of the natural gum is present in sufficient quantity to create a plugging effect and reduces the permeability of a fractured formation.
Hence, a further embodiment of the present invention is the provision of a well-fracturing fluid composition having improved viscosity and suspending properties, which composition comprises an aqueous solution containing (1) a gelling agent consisting essentially of a polygalactomannan gum and a copolymer of an α,β-olefinically unsaturated dicarboxylic acid anhydride and a comonomer selected from α-olefinically unsaturated hydrocarbons and alkyl vinyl ethers, and (2) a breaker additive for reduction of solution viscosity.
More particularly, a preferred well-fracturing fluid composition of the present invention comprises (1) an aqueous medium; (2) a gelling agent consisting essentially of a polygalactomannan gum and a copolymer of an α,β-olefinically unsaturated dicarboxylic acid anhydride and a comonomer selected from α-olefinically unsaturated hydrocarbons and alkyl vinyl ethers; (3) a breaker additive for subsequent autonomous reduction of the gelling properties of the gelling agent; and (4) a propping agent. Illustrative of propping agents are sand and walnut shells.
The breaker additive is preferably an enzyme which under formation fracturing conditions autonomously degrades the polygalactomannan gum component so as to reduce the viscosity of hydraulic fluid which is under hydrostatic pressure. Although the effect of the enzyme breaker additive commences immediately upon intimate admixture of the gelling agent and the breaker additive, the time required to reduce the solution viscosity by 50 percent can range over a period between about one half hour and two hours. The rate of polybalactomannan gum degradation is affected by pH, temperature, and salt content of the hydraulic fluid system.
The enzyme breaker additive can be employed in a quantity between about 0.01 and 5 weight percent, based on the weight of polygalactomannan gum in a hydraulic fluid composition. Hemicellulase enzyme is illustrative of a suitable breaker additive for the present invention, hydraulic fluid compositions.
Another type of breaker additive compounds which can be employed are oxidizing agents. Illustrative of suitable breaker additives of this type are ammonium persulfate, potassium dichromate, potassium permanganate, peracetic acid, tertiarybutyl hydroperoxide, and the like. This class of breaker additive can be employed in a quantity between about 0.5 and 20 weight percent, based on the weight of polygalactomannan gum in a hydraulic fluid composition.
The above-described classes of breaker additive compounds are known in the art. The selection and application of breaker additives in hydraulic well-treating fluid compositions is described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,922,173; 3,960,736; 4,021,355; and references cited therein; and in Hydraulic Fracturing, by G. C. Howard and C. R. Fast, Monograph Series, Volume 2, Society of Petroleum Engineers, Dallas, Texas (1970).
The following examples are further illustrative of the present invention. The reactants and other specific ingredients are presented as being typical, and various modifications can be derived in view of the foregoing disclosure within the scope of the invention.
Guar gum is extracted with methanol to remove methanol-soluble oils. The guar gum so treated is wetted with isopropanol, then sufficient water is added slowly to form a 0.05% solution. After standing overnight, the solution is centrifuged at 8000 rpm for 30 minutes. The clear supernatant is decanted from the insoluble residue and filtered through glass fiber filter paper.
The filtrate solution is diluted with ethanol to precipitate the guar gum. The precipitate is filtered, dried, and ground in a Wiley mill through a 40 mesh screen.
The purified guar gum powder has less than 0.1% nitrogen content, and about 0.48% ash content. For the purposes of the present invention, either purified or unpurified guar gum or other polygalactomannan gum can be employed to produce the dry blend compositions and aqueous compositions of the present invention.
This Example illustrates the preparation of dry blend and aqueous compositions of the present invention.
A dry blend composition is prepared by the simple expediency of admixing the respective composition components. It is not required that the admixture be blended until homogeneous, since the dry blend composition components dissolve individually when the composition is added to an aqueous medium as a thickening agent.
A typical dry blend composition is prepared by admixing 10 grams of purified guar gum with 10 grams of Isobam HH.sup.(1) or Gantrez AN-179.sup. (2).
An aqueous composition is prepared by adding a dry blend composition as described above to an aqueous medium as a thickening agent. Dissolution of the copolymer component (e.g., Isobam HH or Gantrez AN-179) is aided by adjusting the pH of the aqueous medium into the range of 7-11 with sodium hydroxide.
As an alternative method of preparation of the aqueous compositions, the polygalactomannan gum and the copolymer components are first dissolved individually in water to form separate aqueous solutions. Then an aliquot of each solution is combined to produce one of the desired high viscosity aqueous compositions of the present invention. The following procedure and data are illustrative of this alternative preparative method.
Guar gum and hydroxypropyl ether of guar gum are individually dissolved in water to form separate 1% by weight solutions. Isobam HH is dissolved in water in the form of the sodium salt to produce a 1% by weight solution. Gantrez AN-179 is dissolved in water in the form of the sodium salt to produce a 3% by weight solution. All of the solutions are allowed to stand overnight.
Various aliquots of the polygalactomannan gum solutions and the copolymer solutions are blended, and the viscosities of the resulting solutions are measured after one hour using a Brookfield RVF Viscometer, Spindle #4 at 20 rpm. The viscosity data are summarized in the following TABLE.

Guar gum hydroxypropyl ether (D.S. of 0.3) is dissolved in 400 milliliters of water to form a 0.5% aqueous solution. A second 0.5% solution is prepared in the same manner by dissolved Isobam HH sodium salt in 400 milliliters of water. The two solutions are then blended together. To the resultant solution is added 0.01% by weight of hemicellulose enzyme, and the solution is aged overnight at 30� C., and then centrifuged. Supernatant liquid is decanted, and insoluble residue is recovered. The residue is slurried with water, then the residue is separated from the liquid, dried and weighed.
The weight of the insoluble residue from the gelled solution after enzyme treatment is 1.5%, based on the original weight of guar gum hydroxypropyl ether and Isobam HH.
The Insoluble Residue Test can be conducted in the same manner employing an acid, ester or oxidizing compound as the breaker additive, e.g., sulfuric acid, potassium permanganate or methyl formate.
These results demonstrate that a present invention composition is adapted for application as a gelling agent in hydraulic well-fracturing fluid compositions.

Giroux reaches 600 points
Oklahoma City Barons forward Alexandre Giroux added another impressive milestone to accomplished American Hockey League career on Saturday night as he became the 44th player in history to join the AHL's 600-point club.
Giroux attained the milestone with a second-period assist in the Barons' game vs. San Antonio at the Cox Convention Center in Oklahoma City.
The Quebec City native now shows 318 goals and 282 assists for 600 points in 667 regular-season AHL games for Grand Rapids, Binghamton, Hartford, Chicago, Hershey and Oklahoma City.
Giroux's 600th point comes one day shy of the first anniversary of his 500th point, which was recorded on Dec. 19, 2009.
Giroux, 29, won the AHL's goal-scoring title and the Calder Cup each of the past two seasons with Hershey, combining for 110 regular-season goals and 200 points in that span, including a career-best 103-point effort (50-53-103) for the Bears in 2009-10.
A three-time AHL All-Star and the league's most valuable player in 2008-09, Giroux has topped the 30-goal plateau in each of the last six seasons and also ranks sixth on the AHL's all-time postseason scoring list with 100 points (50-50-100) in 112 Calder Cup Playoff games.
Giroux is set to make his fourth AHL All-Star Classic appearance next month in Hershey, where he will serve as captain of the Western Conference All-Stars.

I think Alex400 has not watched the last ODI carefully. It is beyond me how Misbah is being blamed for playing a slow inning on a track where mighty Indians could not play complete 50 overs. It was a very difficult pitch to bat on. It required patience and grafting. Misbah did both. He was patient. He not only played the role of anchor sheet but contributed with 39 runs. How can you blame Misbah for slow innings when he and Umar Akmal got out, Pakistan's required run-rate was well below 5.5. It does look like a fixed match if you look at the way Umer Akmal got out. Pakistan needed 44 runs and had 66 deliveries. Umar Akmal knew that along with Hafeez, he is the last recognized batsman, yet he went into the middle of the crease and gifted his wicket to India. Why would any player in the world go in the middle of the pitch to get stumped when the equation is 44 off 66 balls?
People need to understand these two young bowlers are not wasim akram and waqar younis. They are ok. Just young and energetic. Nothing special. If they play another 20 matches they will be nothing just like all indians bowlers were. Because each indian have a goal of playing for india , once achieve that their goal is done. It is time to occupy and play for spot not to excel and hurt and lose the spot. Issue is this. All young indian players are just young but there is nothing physically. They are not stronger bonewise or dietwise or gymculture.Once all the liquid in joints evoporate they will be limping. I can't blame them, it is whole society issue. I feel a country is great when common man has multiple options. I feel multiple choice means growth and evolution of a society. What i am saying is Pakistan deliberately lost the game. Period.
Misbah and pakistan won series 2-1. My gut feeling say he is fixing matches. He deliberately batted slow in semifinal to lose the game. Pakistan means aggression in attitude , with misbah he caves in too many times to my liking. if pakistan went after indian bowlers whole thing would have been over by 40th over. I am not sure he bring calmness but i can say bring brain freeze to pakistan. I am not sure hafeez is the answer or shoaib malik. They are good contributors. Younis khan better captain. I think Nasser jamshed or junaid khan can be future captain. Shahid afridi is better bowler in ODI. I never seen afridi went wicketless in ODI matches. I think they should get rid of akmals. Umar akmal learn to build inning first. I used to see javed mianded and salim malik score runs in singles like dhoni does now...why not pakistan run for every ball? Pakistan has smart coach but they need better captain.
@Alex, Misbah was not the captain of WC Afridi was, true his innings in semifinal was painful but he ran out of partners. And he wasn't even in the T20 squad. Having said that, inspite of his sometime painfully slow innings he is the best thing that has happened to Pakitan's cricket for a long time, it is the healthy environment mainly created by him and supported by sincere seniors like Younis and Hafeez and Afridi that the talents like Junaid, Nassir and Azhar Ali are expressing themselves. Before his time it was crimes, infighting and volatility that was surrounding Pakistan's team. As a Pakistan supporter more important thing for me is he bring back the respect, and produce results that are better than their talent potential. Notice that now Pakistan team play with positive, aggressive but yet polite attitude and hardly gets involved in anything negetive not even minor fines.
He will be in media all the time he wins. But this is first time indian team fought. I think key was bowlers. No one else. They had two fighting young bowlers feed off on crowd energy. People say fielding won the game. For me i think crowd energy was the key and also two young bowlers were did their part not leaking runs as all indian bowlers do. Also it was pakistan game to lose. Misbah is worst captain ever. I am not sure why pakistan keeping him when lost t20,50 over world cup and now by poor strategy especially his batting is awful. He is a traitor to pakistan. I am indian i rather win game in right way. Pakistan gifted this one.

Baker's Gold
The Case:
A viewer from Colorado thinks he may have discovered a gem of Gold Rush memorabilia when he found an unusual drawing.
This drawing depicts four huge gold nuggets, weighing one, two, six and ten pounds. Someone has overlaid the nuggets with curious, almost cartoon-like pictures: a bag of gold dust, a scowling turtle, a Colt revolver, and the profile of a man's grinning face. The signature, I.W. Baker, catches our contributor's eye.
Could this be the Isaac Baker famous for his photographs of the Gold Rush? And did miners actually find gold nuggets that large? History Detectives visits Baker's haunts in California and talks with Gold Rush curators to reveal the story behind this drawing.

Bryan Clark & the New Lyceum Players
Southern Intermission
US: 20 Mar 2012
UK: 20 Mar 2012
Texas native Bryan Clark offers up a couple rousing songs on Southern Intermission, but unfortunately there's much more that falls flat. Album opener "Voodoo Flame" is a jolting rocker that auduaciously kicks off the proceedings with a six-minute blend of Southern stomp, slide guitars and lyrics about, well, that voodoo woman over there. With such a promising beginning, Clark sets himself a high standard, but unfortunately isn't up to meeting it. The term "middle of the road" was coined to describe bands like this; there is nothing particularly compelling until "Southern Amen" bursts forth from the speakers seven songs later. Missteps are many, ranging from the bewilderingly "cute" lyrics of "Transistor Love" to the duller-than-dirt "November Moon". The songs are well played and Clark can carry a tune as well as the next guy, but there is little here to compel a listener to choose this band over anyone else.

We need more goals! Jol plea as Fulham bid to end winless run against Newcastle
Martin Jol admits Fulham are in dire need of a goal to kick-start their season after going almost five hours without scoring.
After starting the season brightly despite a number of high-profile departures, the Cottagers' lack of squad depth has been brought into sharp focus.
The 1-0 defeat of Aston Villa in mid-October was the west Londoners' last victory, meaning they face Newcastle on Monday evening without a win in seven attempts.
Shooting boots: Fulham manager Martin Jol has called on his strikers to deliver the goals to reverse a seven-match winless sequence
Fulham are also two minutes shy of going a full five hours without scoring and Jol knows his side need a morale-boosting three points.
'I don't think it was a big problem before the Sunderland game (where Fulham lost 3-1) so for us failure and success is an unbelievably thin line,' the Dutchman said.
'We had a loss after that against Stoke, then we had a draw at Chelsea and lost against Spurs so everything happened in two weeks.
'We have to pick up ourselves and pick up some points.
'Even in the first half against Spurs we had three or four chances - more chance than they had, more attempts on goal.
Danger man: Dimitar Berbatov has five goals in 11 appearances for Fulham so far this season
'Against Sunderland, for example, before Brede Hangeland's red card, I thought we were the better team.
'That was probably the biggest disappointment because those three points would have given us 20 points.
'It all started on that day and we got injuries to Bryan Ruiz and Alex Kacaniklic so after that we had to change things and I feel we are good enough to come up with a solution.'
Jol can welcome Hangeland and Kacaniklic back tomorrow from suspension and injury respectively, although Ruiz remains sidelined after suffering setback in his recovery from a hamstring complaint.
Boost: Jol will have Alex Kacaniklic back from injury for Monday night's home match with Newcastle
Veteran goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer is set to start again tomorrow despite some questioning his display in the 3-0 defeat to Tottenham, where he was at fault for Sandro's opener.
'It is always the same,' Jol said. 'Three weeks ago we were all very happy at Fulham and two weeks later the situation totally changes.
'It is the same with goalkeepers. You make one mistake and everyone will doubt your quality and talk about it, but he is strong enough.
'He is a very good goalkeeper. He saved a lot of points for us so he will be back.'
Jol has also been impressed by Schwarzer's opposite number at Newcastle, Tim Krul.
The 24-year-old has established himself as Newcastle's first-choice goalkeeper and become a regular for Holland.
Backing: Jol gave his support to goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer despite a couple of errors in the 3-0 home defeat by Tottenham
'He is good and young,' Jol said of his countryman. 'It will be the first time a guy like him is a regular in the national team.
'Normally we have they likes of Hans van Breukelen and Edwin van der Sar - quite old goalkeepers.
'Van der Sar probably had his breakthrough while he was here at Fulham when he was 30 or something.
'Krul is a big talent, good goalkeeper, but we've got the other guy at Swansea, Michel Vorm. He is very talented, maybe one of the most talented ones.
'Krul is versatile, big but don't forget that we've got one of the best in Europe, Maarten Stekelenburg. I had him at Ajax and he is a good goalkeeper.'
Another player Jol had during his time as Ajax manager was Vurnon Anita, who has become an increasingly important player at Newcastle since his summer arrival.
'He is a number four, he is a holding midfield player,' Jol said.
'I can remember going there and he didn't play. I had a problem at left-back so played him there.
Praise: Vurnon Anita played under Jol during his time at Ajax and has now become an increasingly important player at Newcastle
'After a couple of months he played in the national team, so he is very versatile.
'He can play left-back and right-back but his best position is probably the number four position.
'As you well know, it is not easy for players who come from foreign countries to settle straight away and that is why he needed a couple of months.'

Nowadays, every single car part can be used to improve the performance of the car. Even if a certain piece of equipment doesn't require fuel or electricity to work, the advanced engineering solutions can still be implemented. For instance, the hood seems to be nothing more than a shield. Crafted from various materials, this shield serves to protect the engine and other internal parts from any physical damage. But the manufacturers of aftermarket parts have found a way to make the Chevy Impala custom hood into a valuable add-on. Now, it greatly enhance the performance of any vehicle. For instance, the hood scoop's sophisticated form will redirect the air flow directly to the engine. A cowl hood can be used to reduce the temperature of the overheated gears. Finally, you will definitely need a bulge hood if you want to replace an OEM part with an aftermarket one that has a bigger size.
The Chevy Impala custom hoods are produced by the brands that have redefined the term "quality." At the US market, these are: SEIBON, Duraflex, Carbon Creations, etc. We understand the needs of our customers and aim to provide every motorist with a specific solution. CARiD.com is your number one source of reliable aftermarket accessories.

- Custom HoodsWhat Is The Procedure To Install A Hood Scoop?In the custom hoods section of our website, you'll find add-on hood air scoops that create an unmistakable look of power. Since the beginning of hot-rodding, racers have been fitting scoops onto their cars both for looks and function. Over the years, many high-performance muscle cars have even featured them as original equipment on top trim levels. Hood scoop openings can face forward in order to guide cool air into the engine, or the openings can face rearward to take advantage of the high pressure area at the base of the windshield. Whichever way they are positioned, airflow under the hood increases - a factor that improves both induction and heat ventilation to varying degrees.
- Custom HoodsWhat Are My Choices For Custom Hood Materials?An automobile hood is one of the body panels on your vehicle with the largest surface area, and it's the one panel you'll be looking at every minute you're behind the wheel. Considering this, maybe you find it as odd as we do that many vehicle manufacturers have chosen to make modern hood panels flat and boring, thanks in large part to the search for low wind resistance.

Kori Udovicki said Serbia received from Azerbaijan the equipment and items it exactly needed.
Adviser at the Embassy said humanitarian aid was a sign of "relations of friendship and strategic partnership between Azerbaijan and Serbia".

Episode 552: MSB vs. Chris Dennis
June 23, 2016 · Print This Article
This week sees the return of the once thought lost Mark Staff Brandl!
Chris Dennis!
From his site:
Chris Dennis grew up in, England. He studied natural history illustration at Bournemouth and Poole College of Art and this classical training is evident in his current therianthropic work. After completing his BA (Hons) at the University of Wolverhampton he relocated to the United States, and in 2000 earned his MFA from the University of Art in San Francisco. In 2010 after a period in Berlin, Chris made Auckland his home. He has exhibited in New Zealand, Europe and across the United States.
He currently resides in Zürich, Switzerland.
My paintings are perhaps best described as 'Narrative expressionism' or 'internalized portraiture'. The stories behind these 'Therianthropic' pieces have been carefully obfuscated and invite the viewer to create their own narrative, bringing to mind facets or emotions that maybe more difficult to confront if not disguised behind a mask.
Episode 551: Tim Kinsella

Tim Kinsella!
Yes that Tim Kinsella. The visionary musician behind Joan of Arc, Owls, and Mid-Western indie rock world changers, Cap n' Jazz. He joined Duncan in his class "The Late Late Afternoon Show" to discuss all things indie rock, writing books, and now being a publisher at Featherproof Press.
Minds will be shredded.
While your listening to the show, why not head over to the Elastic Arts Space and check out Joan of Arcs many Artist/Musicians work and if you hit it on a Tuesday on or after the 21st you'll catch one of their many tied in bands…

Episode 549: James Wines SITE Architect
May 24, 2016 · Print This Article
Low and behold, in conjunction with Rhona Hoffman and on the eve of the 2015 Chicago Architectural Biennial we had a once in a life time opportunity to sit down and speak with James Wines of SITE. An architect so radical his buildings have a power quite unlike most contemporary architects, they don't bend us with spectacle, physicality, or industry, they delight us with wit and whimsy. They open our eyes to a magic in the everyday or in the second glance you have to give to a building telling you the story of its demise.
Some days this is the best job.
Episode 548: Amanda Williams

This week Duncan, thanks to Columbia College Chicago and a class called the Late Late Afternoon Show, rocks the mic with Amanda Williams whose work blew our collective minds with the "Color(ed) Theory" series of public works on the south side of Chicago. She pulled in the lion's share of the press at the 2015 Chicago Architectural Biennial and seems to have been going nonstop since!
