1. Technical Field
The present invention relates to a system and method for measuring permeability and pore volume of core samples and, in particular, to an automated system and method therefore for measuring Klinkenberg permeability and pore volume of very tight oil core samples (i.e., permeability of less than one-hundred microdarcies).
2. Discussion of Prior Art
In FIG. 1, is the conventional schematic diagram of a helium flow system in an automated Klinkenberg permeameter/prorsimeter. The apparatus shown in FIG. 1 includes a helium reservoir 10 containing a small helium tank 20 and a large helium tank 30, a manifold 40, a pressure transducer 50, and a core sample holder 60. Valve 80 connects the small helium tank 20 to the manifold 40 over lines 82 and 84. Valve 90 connects the large helium tank 30 over lines 92 and 94 to the manifold 40. The helium that is delivered through valve 130 flows through lines 132 and 134. The vent valve 100 is in fluid communication over lines 102 and 104 with the manifold 40 and the manifold 40 is further connected with the sample holder 60 over lines 112 and 114 through valve 110. Finally, the pressure transducer 50 is connected to the manifold 40 over line 52. Contained within the sample holder 60 is a core plug 70. A poppet valve 120 releases gas to atmosphere as shown.
In conventional operation, the core plug 70 is mounted into a sample holder 60. The core plug 70 is subjected to atmospheric pressure by opening vent valve 100, valve 110, and poppet valve 120. After a period of time, pressure within the core plug 70 reaches equilibrium with atmospheric pressure at zero psig. After reaching atmospheric pressure equilibrium, valves 100, 110, and 120 are closed. The manifold 40 is then pressurized with helium gas by opening fill valve 130 and the manifold is pressurized with helium to a typical value of 250 psig. The pressure in the manifold 40 is monitored by transducer 50. At the desired pressurization, valve 130 is closed. For a period of time, such as a few seconds, the manifold pressure is allowed to stabilize and the pressure in the transducer is recorded.
The system is now ready for testing. Valve 110 is opened and the pressurized helium in manifold 40 is expanded into the sample holder 60 and into the core plug 70. This is further explained by reference to FIG. 2. In FIG. 2, the initial pressurization of the manifold 40 is termed PFILL. At time t1, valve 110 is opened and the pressure decreases, in a nonlinear fashion, to an equilibrium pressure, PE at time t2. Curve 200 represents the change in pressure due to the increase in volume by adding the volumes from the sample holder 60, i.e., (a) the volume below valve 110 and above the upper surface 400 of core plug 70 and below the sample 70 and above valve 120 is termed the dead volume and (b) within the core plug 70 is termed the pore volume.
FIG. 2 illustrates the pressure-time behavior for four different cases. Curves 210 and 210a depict the approach to pressure equilibrium, PEa, for two core plugs having identical pore volumes, but having differing permeability. The plug corresponding to core 210a has a higher permeability than the 210 plug, hence pressure equilibrium is reached more rapidly in the plug for curve 210a. Curves 200 and 200a correspond to core plugs with identical pore volumes, but having volumes which are higher than those depicted by curves 210 and 210a. The higher pore volume allows more gas expansion, which results in a lower equilibrium pressure, PE. Again, the permeability of the plug represented by curve 200a is higher than that represented by curve 200. Consequently, pressure equilibrium occurs more quickly for plugs having curve 200a than for plugs having curve 200.
Hence, under conventional approaches, when there is no further change of pressure with respect to time, equilibrium has been reached and the pore volume of the core plug 70 can be calculated based on the ratios of the initial pressure PFILL the equilibrium pressure PE, and further based upon the known manifold and dead volumes.
For example, if the manifold volume, Vo, is 20.277 cubic centimeters, the dead volume, Vd, is 4.238 cubic centimeters, PFILL at time t1 is 238.12 psig, and PE at time t2 is 162.56 psig, then, the pore volume, Vp can be approximately calculated as: ##EQU1##
There are several drawbacks to the conventional approach for measuring permeability and pore volumes in low permeability (very tight) core plugs (i.e., having a permeability of several microdarcies). Such core samples take longer times (t1 and t2) to reach the equilibrium pressures of atmosphere pressure initially in the core plug and PE and, therefore, the conventional approach is time consuming. Secondly, for any core plug and especially for very tight core plugs, there is no determination (i.e., no way of monitoring) of whether or not the pressure within the plug has truly reached atmospheric pressure, which may take several minutes to an hour or more to obtain. The present invention, as will be explained in the following, eliminates these two major drawbacks and provides a quicker and more accurate determination of pore volume and a quicker determination of permeability for very tight core plugs.
Two problems, faced in current systems and methods for measuring Klinkenberg permeability and pore volume of very tight core samples is (a) the determination of whether the core sample has obtained atmospheric pressure prior to testing and (b) is the length of time that it takes to conduct these tests. The improved permeability/pore volume system and method of the present invention provides a solution to these problems by first changing the location of the pressure transducer 50 from the manifold to a point between valve 110 and the sample holder 60.
To measure the pore volume of a core plug, the manifold volume, dead volume, and pore volume are pressurized to a predetermined pressure, PFILL. After several seconds, valve 110 is closed and the pressure in the transducer, dead volume and pore volume is allowed to come to a first equilibrium. In the meantime, the manifold is vented to atmospheric pressure to obtain zero psig. After the first pressure equilibrium has been obtained, the manifold is sealed and valve 110 is opened, allowing the pressurized gas below valve 110 to expand into the manifold and a second equilibrium pressure is measured. The pore volume is determined from the two measured equilibrium pressures. The system and method of the present invention provides greater accuracy and speed.
The Klinkenberg permeability of a tight core plug is measured in the same manner as in the prior art automated Klinkenberg permeameter/porosimeter. However, in the present invention, because the transducer is located below valve 110, this valve can be closed during the permeability measurement. The reduced-volume helium reservoir, which comprises the volume within the transducer and in the lines between valve 110 and the upper face of the core plug, causes a proportional decrease in the time required to make the permeability measurement compared to the time required if the manifold volume were also included in the helium reservoir volume--as it is in the prior art design. Thus the system of the present invention also increases the speed of permeability measurements in tight core plugs.
FIG. 1 sets forth a prior art device for measuring permeability and pore volume of oil reservoir core samples;
FIG. 2 is a graphical illustration of the operation of the prior art system shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a graphical illustration showing the pressure changes and the operation of the improved permeability/pore volume system of the present invention as shown in FIG. 4;
FIG. 4 is a block diagram of the permeability/pore volume system of the present invention; and
FIG. 5 is the cross-sectional representation of the volume in the region of the core sample and the pressure transducer.
A preferred modification of the prior art apparatus of FIG. 1, which can be used in the method of the present invention, is set forth in FIG. 4. Where possible, like references refer to like items between FIGS. 1 and 4.
Specifically, in the modification, as shown in FIG. 4, the manifold 40 of FIG. 1 has been designed to have a smaller volume. Pressure transducer 50 has been removed from manifold 40 and has been attached to the line 114 below valve 110.
In the embodiment of FIG. 4, manifold 40 is constructed so that its volume is approximately 5 to 10 cubic centimeters and the "valve 110-transducer 50-core holder 60" assembly is constructed so that the dead volume (i.e., from the lower portion of valve 110 to the upper face 400 of the core plug 70 and into the transducer 50 and from the bottom of the core sample to the poppet valve 120) is approximately 3 to 4 cubic centimeters. In comparison to the arrangement of FIG. 1, the manifold volume, Vo, down to valve 110 of FIG. 1 including the volume into transducer 50 is typically about 20 cubic centimeters and the dead volume, Vd, is about 4 to 5 cubic centimeters. The ratio of Vo to Vd in the prior art approach of FIG. 1 is about 4:1 or 5:1 whereas the ratio of Vo to Vd in the preferred embodiment of FIG. 4 is 2:1 or 3:1.
With reference to FIG. 4, the operation of the present invention occurs as follows for pore volume measurements. Poppet valve 120 is closed, valve 110 is opened, valve 100 is closed, and valve 130 is opened to allow the manifold 40 and the sample holder 60 to become pressurized to approximately 250 psig or PFILL for a period of time from several seconds to one or two minutes. During this time, the core plug 70 will also become partially pressurized. Then, valves 130 and 110 are closed. The pressure transducer 50 is monitored until the pressure reaches equilibrium. This pressure PE1 is then recorded.
During the period when the pressure in the core plug is approaching PE1 equilibrium, valve 100 is opened venting the manifold 40 to atmosphere. In a second or more, the manifold quickly reaches zero psig, then valve 100 is closed. After pressure equilibrium, PE1, has been achieved valve 110 is reopened so that the pressurized helium in the sample holder 60 and core plug 70 is allowed to expand back into manifold 40. Eventually, after a period of time, the helium gas in the manifold 40, the sample holder 60, and the core plug 70, will reach a second equilibrium pressure, PE2.
This is illustrated in the graph of FIG. 3 wherein PFILL is the initial pressure to which the manifold 40 and pressure transducer 50 are charged. The core plug is also subjected to this pressure, but because of its very low permeability the core plug does not become fully pressurized throughout its entire length. At time T1, valves 110 and 130 are closed, after which time the volume of gas contained in line 114 down to the core face 400 (i.e., the dead volume) and the gas in the core plug 70 and in the volume below it, to valve 120, gradually reaches pressure equilibrium, PE1 at time T2, after which there is no further change in pressure. Before time T2, the manifold 40 is vented to atmospheric pressure by opening valve 100 for several seconds and then closing it. At time T2, pressure PE1 sensed by transducer 50 is recorded and then valve 110 is opened. Gas from lines 114 and 52, and from transducer 50 above core face 400 quickly expands into manifold 40, causing a sudden decrease in pressure to pressure Pt. Gas from the core plug and the volume below it flow more slowly into the manifold 40 and into pressure transducer 50, causing a gradual pressure build-up until equilibrium pressure, PE2 is achieved at time T3, after which time no further pressure change occurs.
Hence, under the teachings of the present invention, both PE1 and PE2 are pressures that are recorded and delivered over lines 162 to a suitable device 160 such as a computer for ascertaining the pore volume. It is to be expressly understood that device 160 is further capable of controlling the operation of valves 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, and 130 over suitable connections not shown in FIG. 4. Based upon the ratios of the two pressures, the pore volume of the core plug 70 can be ascertained. The curve 300 of FIG. 3 represents the solid curve for a very tight core plug whereas the dashed line curve 300a represents a curve for a core plug of higher permeability, but having the same pore volume as the plug represented by curve 300. In typical embodiments, pressure PE1 is 180 to 240 psig and pressure PE2 is between 90 to 120 psig. It is desirable to keep the equilibrium pressures in this range as will be explained more fully in the following.
The time to reach equilibrium is approximately proportional to the compressibility of the fluid used. For example, and in way of illustration, suppose the manifold 40 were filled with water at 250 psig, and the core plug were filled with water at zero psig. Because water has such a low compressibility, only a fraction of a drop flowing from the manifold into the core plug would equalize the pressures in both. If the fluid were instead a gas at low pressure, considerable volumetric flow from manifold 40 must take place into the core plug 70 in order to obtain pressure equilibrium.
Less time is required to reach the initial pressure equilibrium, PE1, when the teachings of the present invention are followed, compared to the methods of the prior art as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. The initial equilibrium pressure for a pore volume measurement, according to the prior art, is zero psig, whereas it is preferably 180 to 240 psig according to the present invention. The higher pressures result in a thirteen-fold to seventeen-fold reduction in the gas compressibility over that performed in prior art and a corresponding reduction in time to reach equilibrium.
In the present invention, the second equilibrium pressure, PE2, according to FIG. 3, is somewhat lower than the corresponding equilibrium pressure, PE, of the prior art (see FIG. 2). This causes a higher gas compressibility and would require a longer equilibrium time were it not for the smaller manifold volume of the present invention. The time required to achieve this second equilibrium should be about half that required in the prior art. Thus, the time saved for both equilibria involved in a pore volume measurement under the teachings of the present invention is considerable.
There is another important benefit found in the configuration of FIG. 4. An absolutely leak-free system is required to obtain accurate pore volume measurements. Leaks are difficult to ascertain in the prior art configuration of FIG. 1. The approach to equilibrium (see FIG. 2) is accompanied by a declining pressure. One cannot easily tell whether the decline is due to helium diffusing into the core plug or due to a leak in the system. Both would cause the pressure to deline. On the other hand, the approach to the final equilibrium, PE2, as shown in FIG. 3 for the configuration of the present invention, is achieved with an increasing pressure as helium diffuses from the plug, which is at a higher pressure than the manifold. If a leak is present, then the pressure rise will be followed by a decline; i.e., the pressure will pass through a maximum with time.
The configuration of FIG. 4 offers yet another benefit. The time required for measuring the permeability of very tight core plugs is reduced. To accomplish a permeability measurement, poppet valve 120 is closed as is valve 100. The manifold 40 and the core plug 70 are pressurized to about 240 psig with helium by opening valve 130. After a few seconds, valve 130 is closed and valve 120 is opened, allowing helium that exits from the core plug to be vented to atmospheric pressure. Permeability can be calculated from the instantaneous time rate of pressure decay based upon a number of measurements under methods that are well known; e.g., Jones, S. C., "A Rapid Accurate Unsteady-State Klinkenberg Permeameter", Soc. of Petroleum Engineers, J., (October 1972), 383-397.
This rate of pressure decay is directly proportional to the volume of the manifold 40, lines 112 and 114 and pressure transducer 50 up to the upper core face 400. Because this volume is reduced, in the configuration of FIG. 4, by a factor of 2 to 2.5 from that taught in the prior art, so, too, is the time for a permeability measurement reduced by a factor of 2.0 to 2.5.
A further time reduction can be made in measuring the permeability of an extremely tight plug, i.e., less than about 0.1 md. To accomplish this, the core is charged with helium to pressure PFILL as before. But now, before poppet valve 120 is opened to start the pressure decay, valve 110 is closed, leaving only the volume below valve 110 as the helium reservoir to be delivered through opened valve 110. This results in approximately a eight-fold time decrease from the prior art configuration. This is made possible because the pressure transducer is now connected below valve 110, and can monitor the pressure decay when valve 110 is closed.
In measuring high permeability plugs (i.e., greater than 50 or 75 md.), one or both helium tanks 20, 30 are charged with helium as taught in the prior art by selectively opening valves 80 and 90 and this feature is also implemented in the present invention.
In making pore volume measurements, an error analysis shows that the maximum accuracy is obtained when: (1) pressure PE1 is as close as practicable to the full-scale reading of the pressure transducer, which, in the preferred embodiment, is 250 psig, (2) pressure PE2 is about one-half the value of pressure PE1, and (3) the dead volume, Vd, i.e., the volume in sample holder 60 above and below core plug 70 and below valve 110 and above valve 120 is as small as possible. The minimum practical dead volume under the teachings of the present invention, without severely restricting the flow paths to and from the core, is about 3 to 4 cubic centimeters. The second requirement under the teachings of the present invention sets the most desirable manifold volume, Vo. It should be equal to the sum of the core's pore volume Vp and the dead volume Vd. If the dead volume, Vd, is 3 to 4 cubic centimeters and typical pore volumes, Vp, range from 2 to 8 cubic centimeters, then the manifold volume, Vo, should fall in the range of 5 to 10 cubic centimeters. The lower end of this range is favored because the maximum accuracy is desired for plugs having the smallest pore volume. Here, a given error in the absolute measurement causes the largest percentage error. The smaller manifold volume is also desired because it results in a higher PE2 than would a larger volume. Hence, the time to reach equilibrium is reduced.
In FIG. 5, a core sample holder 60 is set forth which corresponds to the type of core sample holder disclosed in co-pending patent application Ser. No. 06/651,558. Sample holder 60 has a main body 500 with a top cap 510 firmly holding a connector portion 520. The conduit 114 connects to the valve 110 so that a fluid path 540 is provided from the valve 110 to the sample holder 60. The fluid path 112 is established from the valve 110 to the manifold 40 and a fluid path 52 is estabished to the pressure transducer 50. The valve 110 works in a conventional fashion through actuation of a plugner 570 to open and close a fluid path between fluid paths 940 and 112. Such a valve may be modified from a conventional valve of the type manufactured by Nupro Company, 4800 E. 345th Street, Wilboughby, Ohio 44094 as Model SS-4BK-V51-1C. The modification consists of counterboring and tapping the bottom of the valve to accommodate the fitting that leads to transducer 50, and of providing an O-ring seal therefore. Fluid path 540 accesses a perforated plate 580 and then the upper surface 400 of sample core 70.
FIG. 5 is intended to be only an example of one way to achieve the flow configuration shown in FIG. 4. Several variations are possible under the below described formulas; for example, a compact arrangement can be configured by incorporating valves 80, 90, 130, 100, and 110 into the manifold body itself by drilling appropriate holes in the manifold to accommodate the air-operated valve stems. Several seals are also eliminated when these valves as well as helium tanks 20 and 30 are integrated into the manifold block.
Hence, upon inspection of FIG. 5, the volume, Vb, equals the volume of the transducer along path 52 plus the volume of the line 114 plus the volume of the perforated plate 580 plus the volume of the cavity 111 beneath the valve plunger when it is in the closed position. And, the lower volume, Vd, equals volume, Vb, plus the volume at the bottom of the plug 70 and valve 120. Hence, the following formulas:
Vb =V(TRANSDUCER)+V(LINE)+V(PLATE)+V(CAVITY) (Formula 2)
Vd =Vb+V(Bottom) (Formula 3)
In the preferred embodiment, the total volume Vd is designed to be typically 3 to 4 cubic centimeters.
The upper volume Vo is equal to the volume of the manifold 40, the volume of the line 112 and the volume to the valves 130, 100, and their associated lines. Hence, the upper volume can be expressed as:
Vo =V(MANIFOLD)+V(IN VALVES 80, 90, 100, and 130)+V(LINES 84, 94, 104, and 134) (Formula 4)
In an ideal situation, under the teachings of the present invention, the upper volume Vo should equal the lower volume Vd plus the pore volume of the core plug VP as set forth in Formula 3:
Vo =Vd +Vp (Formula 5)
In the construction of the permeability/porosity apparatus of the present invention, valves 100, 130, 110 and the associated lines, the manifold 40, the pressure transducer 50 and the sample holder 60 are all designed to be within the ranges provided by Formulas 2 through 4. It is to be understood that when the plunger 570 opens, a displacement of about 0.1 to 0.3 cubic centimeters occurs, and that this plunger displacement can be accounted for. The embodiment of FIG. 4 is desirable over that shown in FIG. 1 since monitoring of the pressure by pressure transducer 50 is located near and is in fluid communication with the core plug 70. Furthermore, since equilibrium time is inversely proportional to compressibility of the helium gas, the embodiment shown in FIG. 4 is several times faster than conventional pore volume measurements. Finally, in the prior art embodiment of FIG. 1, the smallest available reservoir volume for the measurement of permeability was the combination of both the upper and lower volumes, Vo plus Vb or typically 25 cubic centimeters. Under the teachings of the present invention, the smallest is Vb or 3 to 4 cubic centimeters. This relationship provides a factor of at least six times in speed up of measurement for permeability. For example, under the conventional approach shown in FIG. 1, typically if 45 minutes passed for a permeability measurement, now under the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, only six or seven minutes would pass. Hence, for very tight core plugs a definite speed up occurs.
Although the system and method of the present invention has been specifically set forth in the above disclosure, it is to be understood that modifications and variations can be made thereto which will still fall within the scope and coverage of the following claims.

Blackpool Community Trust have been nominated for the prestigious 'Outstanding Kickz Delivery' award.
Established by the Premier League, The Kickz scheme helps the most disadvantaged parts of the community by encouraging people to play football. The club has been nominated for the award, just days after winning the 'Reducing Crime and Violence in Blackpool' Award at the Fairshare Trust Awards.
Blackpool is one of the newest of the clubs involved in the programme, and it is proving to be a hit with the community, with more than 240 young people attending sessions at Sports Bar and Revoe since September.
The scheme delivers a broad range of projects, such as work experience at the club's Community Trust, a tour of the local police station and alcohol awareness sessions, and there have been regular football matches between the two centres.
Five young people have also embarked on Lancashire FA referee courses and are now officiating local matches while there have also been career workshops to help with interview techniques and CV writing.
One of the major projects of the last year involved the restoration of the Sports Barn facility, which was covered in graffiti. With the help of Blackpool Council, the young people refurbished the facility, which has been praised by local residents.

Say It Ain't So! Jason Sudeikis Is Leaving SNL
During the taping of yesterday's David Letterman show, Jason Sudeikis announced that, after eight glorious years, he will be leaving Saturday Night Live. Sudeikis is now the fourth male cast member this year to retire from the venerable NBC institution, as both Fred Armisen, Bill Hader, and Seth Meyers (who will be replacing former SNL-alum Jimmy Fallon on his late-night talk show) have made their farewell.
Sudeikis has not given any indication as to what he'll do next, though he has joined the cast for Horrible Bosses 2 (2014). We know he will do amazing (and hilarious) things with his career, but for now, consider our little hearts broken. (AP)

Oscar-nommed scribes to adapt "Power Of The Dog" epic bestseller
February 1, 2013 - 09:50 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Nikolaj Arcel and Rasmus Heisterberg, who scripted the Swedish The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and followed with the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar nominee A Royal Affair, have found their next project. It's a feature adaptation of The Power Of The Dog, the epic Don Winslow bestseller framed around the drug war and a 30-year struggle between a hard DEA agent and a family of cartel kingpins in Mexico, Deadline said.
Arcel will direct, and the script will be written by Heisterberg, Arcel and Shane Salerno. Salerno will produce through The Story Factory. This is the same Salerno who wrote, directed, produced and financed the J.D. Salinger documentary Salinger that earlier this week was licensed in the U.S. for an American Masters broadcast and is being shopped for feature distribution after a companion biography sold in a 7-figure deal to Simon & Schuster.
Winslow's masterwork, The Power Of The Dog, offers sprawling story lines that span from New York to Tijuana and involve DEA agents, an Irish hit man, vicious drug lords and mobsters, and a heroine whose loyalties are divided between a cartel leader, a crusading priest and the destructively obsessed DEA agent.
Top stories
The film will add to awareness as it looks at eyewitness testimonies recorded in the 1980s to help understand the severity of the tragedy.
Already included in the List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity are the Duduk, Armenian khachkar, lavash,"David of Sassoun."
She joins an impressive group of fashion moguls on the list that includes Spanx founder Sara Blakely and bridal tycoon Vera Wang.
It's only the second movie of 2016 to cross the 10-figure threshold, the other being fellow Disney title "Captain America: Civil War."

20 Best KDE Applications
In this article I will overview 20 KDE applications which I believe are best in their niche, one application from each important category, in no particular order.
BasKet (Notes-taking application)
I think each time I've talked about BasKet I mentioned it is a 'killer app' for Linux. BasKet is a full-blown notes-taking application for KDE, but it takes the concept to a whole new dimension, bringing features which make it a fully-fledged content creation program. It supports inserting text, images, links, frames. It organizes notes in a tree-like hierarchical manner, supports tags, importing notes from other notes-taking applications or text files, back/restore function.
Amarok (Music player)
Amarok 2.x has reached the level of maturity each Amarok user expected from such a player, especially since the change from the older 1.4 releases. It has countless features, including music library, lyrics and info widgets, powerful configurable playlist, scripting support, 5-star rating system, 10-band equalizer, integrated music stores and much, much more.

How I welcomed an immigrant family with a Linux laptop
From the LibriVox website, I downloaded the free, public domain audio reading of Helen Keller's amazing autobiography, The Story of My Life, which is an excellent book that was first published in 1903. Then, I downloaded the text of the book (it's in the public domain) from Project Gutenberg and imported the text into Calibre, the free ebook reading software. Using my favorite Linux screencasting software, SimpleScreenRecorder, I married the text (in a large font) to the audio recording. I created the first 11 chapters of the book as video files in this way, and uploaded them to YouTube. I also copied these onto the Dell Inspiron 9400, so these video files could be viewed offline.
Linux Practicality vs Activism
One of the greatest things about running Linux is the freedom it provides. Where the division among the Linux community appears is in how we value this freedom. For some, the freedom enjoyed by using Linux is the freedom from vendor lock-in or high software costs. Most would call this a practical consideration. Others users would tell you the freedom they enjoy is software freedom. This means embracing Linux distributions that support the Free Software Movement, avoiding proprietary software completely and all things related.
What is the Fedora Modularity project and how do you get involved ?
The Fedora Modularity Project is an effort to fix several problems that all distributions face. One of them is the disconnect between Fedora's release cycle and the release cycle of larger Fedora components like for example GNOME, KDE or even the kernel. Those components obviously don't have the same lifecycle that Fedora follows and Fedora can't always wait for major components to be released upstream and on the other hand doesn't want to ship outdated software. An earlier attempt to work around this disconnect were the Fedora Rings with a central core 'base design', a concentric ring #2 around it for 'environments and stacks' and a ring #3 for applications. It wasn't possible to have different release cycles for packages in ring #2 as dependencies wouldn't allow that most of the time.
antiX 16 & OpenMandriva 3.0 Beta 2 Release, openSUSE Numbers
It was a busy day in Linux with Slack, antiX, and OpenMandriva all working towards their next releases. Sam Varghese quoted Alberto Planas who said openSUSE sees about 1600 new installations each month and Gentoo's Donnie Berkholz posted his retirement notice. Bruce Byfield posted two interesting articles today, one explaining the difference between an Open Source user and a Free Software Activist and the other describing the stringent Debian packaging policies. As a bonus, a lady in California won a $10,000 award in small claims court from Microsoft over its Windows 10 behavior. Also: OpenMandriva Lx 3.0 Beta2 is here! New Releases!

Fans create mod that restores censored content for Tokyo Mirage Sessions

Also, there are only so many games. I think Nintendo have released the vast majority of their own back catalogue now, pre-N64? Reply +1

That kickstarter campaign was never going to succeed. Dizzy is a quintessentially British series (does it even have any nostalgia factor anywhere else?) so the audience is pretty limited.

Watch: Aoife forces Johnny to play Final Fantasy X
FFX is short and aggressively to the point. Every single scene forwards the story at an astonishing pace.

I recently played through FF4 and it was over in around 17 hours. Reply +1

Video: The Final Fantasy VII scenes that probably won't reach the remake
I tempered my fear of a Cloud-centric Kingdom Hearts action game when I remembered that Cloud spends a good quarter or more of the game in a wheelchair, babbling about Xenogears.
Either they would have to expand player control to the other characters - which would not only mean a ton of extra work, but raise question of how characters like Red XIII and Cait Sith would control - or they would have to cut that entire section of the plot...
Everything they cut and change is going to have a knock on effect on everything else. Drastic changes would only multiply their workload.
Which is why I have so little faith it will end up any good. Hopefully they're taking hints from the 3DS remake of FFIV... Reply 0

Most publishers wait until the big events like E3 to reveal stuff. Had Nintendo saved all their news for their Digital Event - Fatal Frame, Devils Third, Ryu in SSB, Earthbound Zero, Bravely Second, SMTxFE etc - it wouldn't have seen nearly so empty.
Why they still didn't include most if that, regardless, is a mystery. Reply +9

Sailing World Cup Mallorca - One year down for Martinez and Pacheco
by Daniel Smith on 29 Mar 2014
Martinez and Pacheco gear up for Sailing World Cup Mallorca. Maria Muina
The 45th Trofeo Princesa Sofia marks the one year anniversary for the Nacra 17 duo of Iker Martinez and Tara Pacheco (ESP).
The Spanish sailors commenced their Rio 2016 campaign at the 2013 edition of the regatta and the experienced pair have seen a noticeable improvement over the last 12 months.
'An intense year full of surprises,' explained Martinez, 'but if after twelve months we continue with the project, this means things are moving forward.'
Pacheco added, 'After sailing together for one year we know we can be among the top places, but to be there we must put a lot of effort and train every day both afloat and ashore.'
The pair finished 18th at the 2013 ISAF Sailing World Cup Mallorca and steadily improved as the year unfolded. An 18th followed at the 2013 ISAF Sailing World Cup Hyeres before they won their first regatta together in Kiel, Germany.
A 25th at the Nacra 17 Worlds and a 10th at the Europeans followed before they made a strong impression at the start of 2014.
Martinez and Pacheco narrowly missed out on their first ISAF Sailing World Cup podium in Miami have lost out in the Medal Race against World number one Ben Saxton and Hannah Diamond (GBR) on the final day in the USA.
Saxton and Diamond kept the Spaniards behind them in Medal Race and the Brits took the final podium spot having finished a place ahead. With this on their mind Martinez has one eye on the podium, 'In Mallorca, if we finish among the top five it would be incredible and among the top ten it would be good. These twelve months of adaptation have gone by very fast. We have been able to start sailing with certain consistency and without major weak points recently. The time has come to consolidate all the work done and if we do well, we can take a step forward and think about being on the podium.'
A strong 74-boat Nacra 17 fleet will take to the Mallorca race course on 31 March through to 5 April. Whilst World Cup honours are the immediate mind-set, the Santander 2014 ISAF Sailing World Championships are on the horizon and Martinez realises the significance of the year, 'It is a very important season. The real goal for this year is that we can assure we can be competitive in the future, but at the end results are important and we need to finish among the top ten, also a podium every now and then to feel good and finish among the top ten at the Worlds to be able to classify Spain for the Olympic Games.'
Ten Rio 2016 Olympic spots are up for grabs in Santander and Pacheco was slightly more abrupt explaining the teams priorities, 'This season it is very clear that our goal is no other than the Santander 2014 Worlds.'
Martinez and Pacheco are one of six Spanish Nacra 17 crews competing in Mallorca so as well as international battles there may be a few internal tactics coming into play when racing commences at 11:00 on Monday 31

With the 4th of July weekend coming up, I have been thinking of having an old school backyard cookout like when I was a kid. Going through the recipes here on the blog, I realized that I have never written a post about how to grill up perfect classic BBQ chicken. You know — on the bone, with skin, slathered in BBQ sauce (preferably homemade) and served with plenty of napkins.
There is something to be said about the convenience of the boneless, skinless chicken breast… well, it's convenient for a quick weeknight meal. I know that all too often grilled chicken beyond said breast can end up burnt on the outside and raw on the inside. Here are a few simple solutions to ensure that you get that tasty, juicy, tender picnic style BBQ chicken….

Perez's family has lived in that area of Alaska since her aunt and uncle homesteaded in Kasilof in the 1950s. Several family members are in the fishing industry, sparking Perez's fishing themed art.
Her colorful animal renditions feature Alaskan wildlife.
Perez, who has won numerous awards in Nebraska for her art, loves to create.
"I want people to appreciate the magnificence of this planets' inhabitants," she said. "If people enjoy my artistic conception, then my art is a success."
Many of Perez's artworks are on display downtown at the Art and Gift Gallery at 516 N. Dewey. The newly remodeled gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday, from 11 a.m.- 5 p.m.
A grand re-opening of the Art and Gift Gallery will be held soon.
