The present invention relates to acoustical logging instruments, and particularly, acoustical logging instruments designed to detect the presence of vertical fractures in formations surrounding boreholes. The detection of vertical fractures in formations surrounding the borehole is important in the petroleum industry since many formations produce from fractured reservoirs. In normal drilling operations, the drilling mud used in drilling the borehole will invade vertical fractures, and prevent the location of the fractured formations using normal or conventional logging tools.
In the past, attempts have been made to provide acoustical logging instruments which would produce acoustic waves that would travel circumferentially around the borehole to detectors where the acoustical waves were received. The signals produced by the received waves were separately reported. Normally, the logging instruments were constructed to detect both the compressional and shear waves traveling circumferentially around the borehole wall. Both compressional and shear waves were detected since compressional waves would pass through a fluid-filled fracture while shear waves would be absorbed in the fluid filling the fracture. Thus, if a compressional wave was present but no shear was present, it would be an indication that a vertical fracture was present in the formation.
The prior attempts to instrument the above conception have suffered from certain disadvantages. For example, one approach, described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,794,976, was used with omnidirectional transmitting transducers to produce acoustical waves which traveled through the formation. The received waves were then processed to separate the compressional and shear waves which could then be displayed. This approach was not entirely successful, possibly due to the fact that the transmitting transducer was located a considerable distance from the surface of the borehole wall. Another approach, as described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,775,739, utilized two sets of transmitting transducers. One of the transmitting transducers was oriented to produce substantially compressional waves in the formation while the other transducer was angled so as to produce substantially shear waves in the formation. This approach is a considerable improvement over the single omni-directional transducer in that the shear wave and compressional waves were separately produced and received. While this approach improved the results, it also included the additional complication of having two transmitting transducers and two separate receiving transducers in place of a single-transmitting and a single-receiving transducer.
The present invention solves the above problems by providing a logging tool having plurality of greatly elongated, resilient arms; one end of the arm being firmly attached to the logging tool, and the other end being free. The free end of the arm may be extended so that it is in relatively close proximity to the wall of the borehole. At the free end of each arm there is attached, by means of a transducer mount, a transducer which is held closely to the borehole wall. The transducer is covered by a soft, resilient material, such as soft plastic or rubber. A relatively soft wear pad is attached to the transducer mount which is, in turn, attached to the arm. The wear pad rubs the borehole wall during logging operation and maintains the distance from wall to transducer small and constant. By providing a means for extending the arms after the tool has been lowered into the borehole, the possibility of damage to the transducers, is greatly reduced. Further, after the interval of interest has been logged, the arms may be retracted and the tool can be removed from the borehole without the possibility of damage to the transducers.
The cylindrical transducer on each of the arms is oriented with its major axis parallel to the axis of the tool in the borehole. The length of each transducer is made relatively long compared to the wave length of the acoustical energy to produce a source substantially directional as to azimuth. This use of a highly-directional sound source insures a maximum amount of acoustical energy will be concentrated in a very narrow circumferential band in the borehole. The concentration of acoustical energy in a narrow band around the borehole improves the performance of the tool, and the cylindrical form of the transducers simplifies the generation and detection of both compressed and shear waves.
The invention will be more easily understood from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the attached drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a elevation view of the logger with the arms in the extended position;
FIGS. 2A and 2B are partial vertical sections of the instrument showing FIG. 1; FIGS. 3A and 3B are additional partial vertical sections of the arms in the extended position;
FIG. 4 is a section taken along line 44 of FIG. 2;
FIG. 5 is a section taken along line 55 of FIG. 3;
FIG. 6 is an enlarged vertical section showing the transducer mounting attached to the end of each of the arms;
FIG. 7 is a cross-section taken along line 77 of FIG. 6; and
FIG. 8 is a block diagram of a circuit for use with the logger.
Referring to FIG. 1, there is shown the logging tool with the arms in an extended or logging position. As explained above, the arms are retracted as the tool is lowered into the borehole, and then extended to start a logging run. After the interval of interest has been logged, the arms are again retracted and the tool withdrawn from the borehole. The tool comprises an elongated case, or housing 10, having an extension 34 at the lower end. The extension serves to support both the mechanism for extending and retracting the arms and a stabilizer-protector 14 at the lower end. The stabilizer 14 is provided with a plurality of radially-extending flexible fingers 15 which serve to stabilize the tool and center it as it is lowered into the borehole. The radial fingers 15 may be suitable, flexible plastic, or solid rubber fingers. The tool is provided with four elongated arm members 11 which have suitable transducer mounts 13 and transducers 12 disposed at their lower ends. It should be noted that the arms 11 are relatively long compared to the diameter of the borehole and the diameter of the tool. For example, it has been found that a tool having a case diameter of 41/2 inches and arms 36 inches long successfully logged boreholes up to a diameter of 10 inches. The use of the long arms results in very small changes in the vertical displacements of the transducers as the arms move in the response to changes in borehole diameter during logging operations.
Referring now to FIGS. 2A and 2B, there is shown a detailed construction of the logging tool with the arms in the retracted position. The case, or housing 10, is comprised of an elongated, thin-walled, tubular member which is closed at its lower end by threaded end cap 20. The end cap 20 is provided with suitable cut-out, or flat sections 22, on which the upper ends of the elongated arms 11 are secured. The arms may be secured to the flat recesses by means of flathead cap screws 21. The arms are constructed of suitable spring material, and formed so that their natural bias will tend to retract them; and thus, it is only necessary to forcefully extend them and they will retract on their own when the means used for extending them is also retracted.
The arms are extended by deflection arms 23, which are pivotly mounted by means of pins 24 on a lower extension 34 of the housing. Upper end of the lower extension 34 threads onto an upper extension 31 which, in turn, is secured to end cap 20, at its upper end by means of a series of cap screws 35. Suitable o-rings 36 and 41 are provided for sealing the connections between the upper housing extention 31 and the means used for actuating the deflection arms 23, as explained below. The deflection arms are operated, or rotated, by means of operating members 25 which are pivotally connected at their lower ends to the deflection arms by pins 26. The upper ends of the operating arms 25 are pivotly connected to a tubular member 30 which slides, or reciprocates, along the outer surface of the upper extension 31. The operating arms are pivotly connected to the tubular member 30 by pins 27. As seen in FIG. 5, each of the elongated arms 11 is extended by two deflection arms 23, with the operating member 25 being disposed between the two spaced deflection arms.
The tubular member 30 is coupled to a reciprocating actuating member 40 by means of a pin 32 with the pin 32 having a limited axial movement in the upper extension 31. The axial movement is controlled by the length of the slot 33 cut in the side wall of the extension member 31. The reciprocating member 40 is coupled at its upper end to a traveling nut 41, as shown in FIG. 2A that is reciprocated by means of a ball screw 43, which is driven by an electric motor 45. The ball screw 43 is held in an axial position by means of the thrust bearing 44. The traveling nut 41 is provided with a radial extension on its left side 51, which slides in a slot 52 cut in the upper portion of the end cap 20 with the combination of the extension and slot, limiting the travel of the nut as well as preventing its rotation.
From the above description, it can be seen that the arms 11 are normally retracted by the spring action of the arms. In order to extend the arms, the electric motor 45 rotates the ball screw 43 in a direction to move the traveling nut 41 upward, as shown in FIG. 2A. The upward movement of the traveling nut will reciprocate, or move, the rod member 40 upwardly. The upward movement of member 40 moves the tubular member 30 up, and the operating arms 25 pivot the deflection arms 23 outwardly. The outward movement of the deflection arms forces the arms 11 outwardly with the degree of extension of the arms 11 being controlled by the movement of the traveling nut 41. The movement of the traveling nut can be controlled by counting or otherwise monitoring the revolutions of the drive motor 45.
The arms 11 are shown in an extended position in FIGS. 3A and 3B with the maximum extension of the arms being controlled by the design of the deflection arms. When the deflection arms arrive at the position shown in FIG. 3B, the upper cam surface 53 contacts the shoulder formed on the extension member 34, and prevents further movement of the deflection arms. Of course, as explained above, the arms can be extended to any position intermediate between the position shown in FIG. 3B and a fully retracted position.
FIGS. 6 and 7 illustrate the detailed construction of the transducer mounting, transducer, and wear pads that are attached to the free end of each arm. Transducer mount 13 is secured to the free end of the arms by means of cap screws 62. Also, a plastic wear pad 60 is secured to the transducer mount 13 to provide protection for the transducer which is mounted below the mount. When the arms 11 are extended, the wear pads 60 contact the borehole wall and thus, protect the transducers while maintaining a constant distance between the transducers and the borehole wall. The upper end of the transducer 12 is secured to a mandrel 63, which is attached to the lower end of the transducer mount 13. The lead 65 from the transducer is threaded through a passageway in the wear pad 60 and up the inner side of the arm 11. The transducer is protected by means of a plastic tube 66, which is secured to the upper end of the transducer by means of a clamp 67, and has its lower end enclosed by a plug 70 which is clamped in place by clamp 68. The interior of the plastic tube is preferably filled with air.
As explained above, cylindrical transducers are used which have a length that exceeds one wave length of the frequency of the power supply used for energizing transducers. For example, excellent results have been obtained using a transmit wave train having a frequency of 100 KHZ, and a transducer having a diameter of 1/2 inch and 1 inch length.
The use of cylindrical transducers is important in the present invention since they radiate acoustic energy over 360�. As is well-known, shear waves are produced in a medium when a compressional wave strikes an interface between the medium and a second medium at the proper angle. Thus, some energy from the transducer will strike the borehole wall at the proper angle to produce shear waves in the formation surrounding the borehole. It is also important that the transducers be placed as close to the wall of the borehole as possible, preferably within 1/16 inch of the wall. This can be accomplished in the present instrument by proper design of the wear pads 60 in relation to the mounting of the transducers. Further, the transducers can contact the wall of the borehole since they are protected by the plastic tube 66.
While the transducers radiate energy over 360�, no means are required for absorbing the energy radiated into the borehole fluid in the present invention. Fractures always occur in hard formations in which acoustic waves have a high velocity. Thus, shear waves produced in the formation will have a high amplitude while compressional waves will have a low amplitude. Likewise, the shear wave amplitude will be much greater than the water wave. Thus, no means are required for absorbing the water wave or isolating the shear wave from the compressional wave in the formation.
The tool is raised and lowered in the borehole using a conventional logging cable 70 that is attached to the top of the housing by a cable head 71. A series of centralizers 72 are positioned on the housing 10 to centralize the housing in the borehole and prevent the housing from contacting the borehole.
In operating the above-described tool, the tool is inserted into the borehole with the arms in a fully retracted position. The tool is then lowered until it reaches the lower depth of the interval to be logged, and the arms are extended by energizing motor 45. By use of suitable servo-mechanisms, or counting the revolutions of the motor, one can accurately position the arms until the plastic wear pads 60, shown in FIG. 6, contact the borehole wall. After the arms are extended, the logging tool is raised through the borehole while energizing the transmitters and recording the received signals. After the interval of interest has been logged, the arms are again retracted and the logging tool removed from the borehole. The lowering of the tool with the arms retracted permits a rapid lowering speed while the retracting of the arms after the interval of interest has been logged permits a rapid withdrawal of the tool from the borehole.
A block diagram of the electronic circuits used is shown in FIG. 8. At the surface, a synchronizing wave generator 80 produces a signal having a wave form 81. The wave form 81 comprises the basic 60-cycle power plus a negative and positive pulse on each positive and negative cycle. The signal from the generator 80 is transmitted downhole to a synchronous separator 82 which separates the negative and positive pulses from the 60-cycle power. The synchronous separator produces two output signals having wave forms 83 and 84. The negative and positive pulses of waveform 83 are used to operate a switch 85 that alternately couples the power supply 86 to the two transmitting transducers T1 and T2. The 60-cycle signal having waveform 84 is supplied to switch 90 that alternately couples the receiving transducers R1 and R2 to logging cable 70. At the surface, the decommutator 91 separates the receiver signals into four separate signals that are individually recorded on the recorder 93. In operation the switch 85 alternately connects the transmitting transducers T1 and T2 to the power supply 86. Thus, the transducer T1 produces acoustic impulses in synchronism with the negative pulse and the transducer T2 produces acoustic impulses in synchronism with the positive pulses. In a similar manner, the switch 90 connects the receiver R1 to the logging cable 70 during positive cycles of the 60-cycle power, and the receiver R2 during negative cycles. Thus, during positive cycles R1 will receive acoustic waves first from T1 and then T2. Similarly, during negative cycles, R2 will receive acoustic waves first from T1, and then T2. At the surface, the receiver signals can be separated and recorded in the desired order.
Obviously, the speed of energizing the transducers in combination with the speed at which the tool is moved through the borehole will determine the degree of coverage of the borehole wall. Again, excellent results have been achieved using the logging speed of 30 feet per minute in combination with 240 transmitter firings per second. This would produce 50 complete coverages of the borehole per foot of depth.

One-Bowl Buttermilk Chocolate Cupcakes
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 14 mins
Easy cupcakes to make and eat :P
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1⁄4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1⁄4 cup butter, melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Preheat oven to 350°F Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda and salt.
- Pour in the rest of the ingredients (it's helpful to have the buttermilk at about room temperature) and stir until just combined.
- Divide evenly into the prepared muffin tin and bake for 14-16 minutes at 350F, or until a tester comes out clean.
- Cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.
Most Helpful
The batter was really thick, but not to worry, they still bake up beautifully. I filled the liners 2/3 full and got 17 cupcakes. We topped half with buttercream icing and the other half with a fudge icing.
Did not like these much. The apple cider vinegar flavor came out too strong and the chocolate was too weak. I agree with the Breezytoo that if I'd try these again, I'd up the amount of cocoa. Mine also baked and were sunk in the middle. Not sure if that meant the baking time should've been longer. It was just a little strange.
So delicious - I made a peanut butter frosting to top them with, and it tasted just like a Reese's! Thanks for sharing!

COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, PENNSYLVANIA HUMAN RELATIONS COMMISSION (APPELLANT AT NO. 60)v.STUART R. FEESER, JR., AND AVIS ANN FEESER, HUSBAND AND WIFE (APPELLANT AT NO. 59) (TWO CASES)
Ralph W. Boyles, Jr., James H. Stewart, Jr., Harrisburg, for appellant at No. 59 and appellee at No. 60.
Sanford Kahn, Harrisburg, for appellant at No. 60 and appellee at No. 59.
Gerald Gornish, Deputy Atty. Gen., Harrisburg, for intervenor, Robert P. Kane.
Jones, C. J., and Eagen, O'Brien, Roberts, Pomeroy, Nix and Manderino, JJ. Jones, C. J., and Pomeroy, J., dissent. Eagen, J., dissents and would affirm the order of the Commonwealth Court.
[ 469 Pa. Page 175]
This case involves cross-appeals from a decision of the Commonwealth Court vacating an order of the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission (hereinafter "PHRC") and remanding the case to PHRC for a new hearing.
On August 23, 1973, Mr. and Mrs. Williams filed a complaint with PHRC charging the Feesers*fn1 with refusing
[ 469 Pa. Page 176]
to sell them a particular house in Dauphin County because of their race. PHRC's investigation established probable cause to credit the allegations of the complaint, and it attempted to conciliate the matter. When conciliation failed, PHRC scheduled a public hearing*fn2 and attempted to secure a preliminary injunction enjoining the Feesers from selling the house to any other purchaser.*fn3
A hearing was held on the application for a preliminary injunction on October 4, 1973. After the hearing the court of common pleas denied the application, stating that "the evidence [did] not establish probable cause," apparently, to credit the allegations of the complaint.*fn4
The Feesers thereupon petitioned this Court for a writ of prohibition directing that the public hearing scheduled by PHRC be canceled on the ground that the decree of the court of common pleas refusing the application for a preliminary injunction disposed of the central issue in the case. We denied the application on October 29, 1973. PHRC held a public hearing on November 19, 1973, and November 26, 1973. The hearing panel took testimony, heard oral argument and allowed the parties time to submit briefs. On November 4, 1974, the hearing panel submitted to PHRC both its recommendation that it find that the Feesers had committed the unlawful discriminatory
[ 469 Pa. Page 177]
practice charged in the complaint and proposed findings of fact, conclusion of law and a final order. PHRC adopted the recommendations of the hearing panel.
The Feesers appealed PHRC's decision to the Commonwealth Court which, on July 23, 1975, filed an opinion setting aside PHRC's order and remanding the case for a new hearing. The Commonwealth Court held that (1) the decision of the court of common pleas denying the temporary injunction was not dispositive of the complaint filed with PHRC; (2) the Feesers had been denied due process of law because PHRC's general counsel both represented the Williams before the hearing panel and advised the panel during the hearing, and (3) "observed" that the issue decided by PHRC may not have been dispositive of the case. Commonwealth Human Relations Commission v. Feeser, 20 Pa. Commw. 406, 341 A.2d 584 (1975).
Both parties petitioned this Court for permission to file an appeal,*fn5 which petitions were granted on December 29, 1975. We vacate the order of the Commonwealth Court and remand to that court for further proceedings in conformity with this opinion.
The Feesers assert that the statement of the court of common pleas that "the evidence [did] not establish probable cause" acts as a bar to any further PHRC action. We disagree. The jurisdiction of the court of common pleas in this case was limited to the power to decide whether an injunction was necessary to preserve the status quo pending PHRC determination of the merits of the complaint filed by the Williams.*fn6 Regardless
[ 469 Pa. Page 178]
what reason the court gave for refusing the application for an injunction, neither it nor the Feesers can avoid the limits placed on its jurisdiction under the Act.
The Legislature has chosen, in the PHRA, to charge an administrative agency with the jurisdiction initially to receive, investigate, conciliate, hear, and decide complaints alleging unlawful discrimination.*fn7 When the statutory procedure is invoked, it is exclusive.*fn8 Decisions of PHRC are to be reviewed by the Commonwealth Court using a standard of review which gives great deference to the findings of the Commission.*fn9
[ 469 Pa. Page 179]
Giving final effect, as the Feesers urge, to a finding by a court of common pleas that there is no basis for the complaint in a proceeding on an application for an injunction would disrupt the statutorily mandated procedure. Under the scheme the Feesers urge, the court of common pleas, not PHRC, would receive evidence, weigh the credibility of witnesses and make findings of fact. In their scheme, the court of common pleas, which has no experience handling PHRA complaints, would resolve the dispute, while PHRC, the agency created for this purpose by the Legislature, would be denied an opportunity to hear and decide the case. Finally, the resolution of factual disputes by the court of common pleas, not PHRC, would be given deference by the Commonwealth Court on appeal. This is not the procedure called for by the Act.
We may not distort or destroy the statutorily created scheme of enforcement of the Act in this way.*fn10 We hold that in a proceeding for an injunction under
[ 469 Pa. Page 180]
section 9.1 of the Act, the only issue resolved is whether an injunction should issue. No other effect is to be given the court of common pleas' determination.
We turn now to the central issue in this case. The Feesers argued before the Commonwealth Court that they were denied due process of law when PHRC's general counsel both represented complainants and gave the hearing panel legal advice at the public hearing. The Commonwealth Court accepted this argument and remanded the case to PHRC for a new hearing with conflict-free counsel. We find no evidence in the record to support the contention that PHRC's general counsel advised the hearing panel at the hearing or in the decisional process.
The Feesers base their claim that general counsel for PHRC gave the hearing panel legal advice on three incidents which occurred during the hearing. We have examined each of these incidents as they are reported in the record and find no impropriety. In each instance general counsel was serving solely as attorney for the complainants by arguing the merits of a motion pending before the hearing panel.
The first incident involved the collateral estoppel claim:
"MR. STEWART [counsel for the Feesers]: We have a motion to dismiss in this matter and to terminate the proceedings on the ground that [PHRC] made an application before the Court of Common Pleas of Dauphin County . . . in which . . . the Court found that there was no probable cause for the complaint in this matter . . . .
MR. KAHN [PHRC's general counsel]: The argument advanced by Counsel for Respondents was the basis of his petition in the Supreme Court for petitions of writ of prohibition. . . . [The Supreme Court
[ 469 Pa. Page 181]
has] since denied the petition for a writ of prohibition and rejected the very grounds that now Counselor seeks to raise anew. That matter has already been disposed of by the Supreme Court.
MR. STEWART: May it please the Commission, the writ of prohibition before the Supreme Court is a discretionary writ with the Court and they have many reasons for denying that writ under their procedures other than refusing our fundamental legal position. . . .
MR. KAHN: I think Mr. Stewart is correct. The fact that the Supreme Court denied the petition for writ of prohibition does not in itself mean that -- I submit it's probable that they have denied on the merits his argument, but he certainly has a right to raise it again at this stage of the proceedings. I ask that his argument be denied as without merit. As you know, Section 9.1 of the Human Relations Act authorizes the Commission to proceed in a Common Pleas Court when in a housing case the housing under question threatens to be disposed of before the Commission has an opportunity to complete its processes of investigation, consultations and public hearing so in order to render the property in question still existent, in order not to have the case be rendered moot, the legislature provided in Section 9.1 for going into Common Pleas Court. It's true we went into Common Pleas Court to seek that injunction. The Common Pleas Court denied it. By no means does the act indicate that when you go into Common Pleas Court and seek an injunction you thereby do so at the peril of having your case thrown out of Court if the Common Pleas Judge in his discretion . . . elects not to grant the injunction.
The argument is without merit, and I ask that it be denied.
DR. SMITH: The motion is denied."
[ 469 Pa. Page 182]
We see no evidence of impropriety in this exchange.
The second incident involved Mr. Feeser's claim that he had a right to face-to-face conciliation with the complainants.
The first client, the one against whom the complaint was originally brought, is Stuart Feeser. Mr. Feeser went through the procedures before your Commission for a conference of conciliation. We take the position that conference that was given to Mr. Feeser in this proceeding didn't comply with the requirements of the statute in that he was not permitted a face to face confrontation with the Complainants in this matter in order to determine whether conciliation was possible between the parties. In lieu of that, he was faced merely by three members of the staff of this Commission who failed to give him any information that they had gotten from the Complainants and who insisted that he enter into an agreement that was unacceptable to him on the basis of the explanation he had given them as to what happened.
We think that does not comply with the statutory requirements.
MR. KAHN: Mr. Chairman, neither the Human Relations Act nor the regulations promulgated pursuant to it require or provide that Complainant be present at the conciliation process nor is it the policy or practice of the Human Relations Commission to have Complainants present. The Commission is instructed and mandated by the Act to engage in the process of conciliation and indeed they have attempted to conciliate this case. I ask that the motion be denied.
DR. SMITH: The motion as made by Counsel is denied."
In this case too, general counsel represented the complainants, argued the merits of the motion as an advocate
[ 469 Pa. Page 183]
on behalf of those he represented, and the hearing panel chairman ruled on the motion. We find no impropriety in this incident.
The third incident involved the claim that Mrs. Feeser had been denied her right to conciliation.
"MR. STEWART: I have a motion to make on behalf of Avis Ann Feeser. She was not a party to this proceeding at the time that the complaint was administered and she was served as a party in this proceeding on the 12th of November. She has never had an opportunity for conciliation and we object to the public hearing going on with respect to her claim at this time until she had her statutory rights as provided under the law.
MR. KAHN: . . . [T]he co-respondent, Mrs. Feeser, was not a party to the original complaint in this case. As you know, under the Act the Commission is entitled to amend its complaint at any time up to and including the public hearing. The complaint in this matter was amended within the ninety day statutory period to include Mrs. Feeser and she was indeed served with a copy of that complaint.
The motion is not proper before this panel at this time . . . in that at no time since receiving that complaint did they request additional conciliation nor indicate that there would be any value in additional conciliation. . . . [F]urthermore, . . . Mrs. Feeser was indeed represented by Counsel at the conciliation efforts held in this case; and I have here a letter which I will offer to the panel, . . . from Mr. Boyles dated September 14 in which he acknowledges that he represented Mrs. Feeser as well as Mr. Feeser.
[ 469 Pa. Page 184]
that the entire matter boiled down to Mr. Feeser's statement that if the Complainants were going to meet his advertised price for the house and the lot in its pre-completion state of $43,700, he and Mrs. Feeser would still be willing to enter into an agreement to convey that property to them."
So I represent to this panel that Mrs. Feeser was indeed represented at the conciliation conference on September 14. That if not formally so, in fact she was. That there has been no request or indication that there would be any value nor was there any request nor desire for individual conciliation on her behalf.
She claims she was not afforded that opportunity but again denies categorically all the charges set forth and indicates there was nothing to conciliate. . . . The proper procedure would have been at some point to have requested an opportunity to conciliate. Not wait until the day of the hearing and raise this as a motion for grounds of dismissal.
MR. STEWART: I think my motion with respect to Mrs. Feeser was not for dismissal but that she shouldn't go to public hearing at this time. We set forth in our answer, which we filed in this matter, the fact that she hadn't been afforded her statutory right of conciliation; and . . . I think the record should show . . . [that] the only person represented at the conciliation was Mr. Feeser and we have no evidence that Mrs. Feeser was represented in these proceedings until she was served with the complaint, with the amended complaint. We did represent Mrs. Feeser in an act brought in the Court of Common Pleas because she was sued there. We have never represented
[ 469 Pa. Page 185]
her in this matter until she was served with a complaint.
Now the letter that is before you does make some indication that she would join with her husband in trying to work the matter out in a manner that was there suggested for conciliation, but there was no evidence in that letter that is being written by Mr. Boyles as Counsel for Mr. and Mrs. Feeser or that he participated in the conciliation [as] Counsel for Mr. and Mrs. Feeser.
Furthermore, all of the evidence that we have been given in this matter shows that Mrs. Feeser at no time refused to sell this house. We don't know that there is probable cause as to Mrs. Feeser. I don't know how the Commission knows if they had no conference with her.
MR. KAHN: I repeat Sir that Mrs. Feeser was in fact represented at the conference in this regard. It's untimely to wait until the convening of the hearing itself for purpose of further delay to ask that this matter be set aside for purpose of conciliation. They have not requested conciliation since served on November 12 with an amended complaint. I ask that this motion be denied.
Once again, there was a motion by the Feesers, both sides presented their arguments on the merits of the motion and the hearing panel ruled. There is nothing in the record to indicate that the ruling of the hearing panel was made because PHRC's counsel had advised it so to rule. Each motion was denied by the panel in the exercise of its independent judgment after hearing both arguments.
[ 469 Pa. Page 186]
The limited, purely adversary role of PHRC's general counsel in this case is easily distinguished from the conduct condemned by this Court in Horn v. Township of Page 186} Hilltown, 461 Pa. 745, 337 A.2d 858 (1975), upon which the Commonwealth Court relied. We described the facts in Horn as follows:
"At the hearing board, the township was represented by its solicitor, Charles Wilson, who also served at the hearing as the zoning board's solicitor. Mr. Wilson conducted the meeting and ruled on evidence presented by appellants and on objections made to the township's evidence presented by Mr. Wilson, himself, when an objection was interposed by appellants. Thereafter, Mr. Wilson, as the zoning board's solicitor, advised the board in legal matters concerning appellants' case."
Id. at 747, 337 A.2d at 859. It was on the basis of this record that we stated:
"In the case at bar, . . . we are presented with a governmental body charged with certain decisionmaking functions that must avoid the appearance of possible prejudice, be it from its members or from those who advise it or represent parties before it. In the instant case, the same solicitor represented both the zoning hearing board and the township, which was opposing appellants' application for a zoning variance. While no prejudice has been shown by this conflict of interest, it is our opinion that such a procedure is susceptible to prejudice and, therefore, must be prohibited."
Id. at 748, 337 A.2d at 860. It is clear that Horn describes a situation which is completely different than that encountered in this case. In Horn the attorney involved was: (1) making objections to the evidence offered by his opponent, and then ruling on his own objections; (2) offering evidence to which his opponent objected and then ruling on the objection to his proffered evidence; and (3) advising the hearing panel concerning the law during the post-hearing process of deciding the merits of his opponent's case. In this case, PHRC's general
[ 469 Pa. Page 187]
counsel argued the merits of motions made by his opponent and asked that they be denied. So far as the record shows, and it is clear that counsel for the Feesers would have objected had the record not accurately reflected what transpired at the hearing, there was no consultation between PHRC's counsel and the hearing panel. Each motion was decided by the panel on the basis of the arguments presented by both counsel in open session.
We find no violation of Horn on this record. Therefore, the order of the Commonwealth Court remanding the case to PHRC for a new hearing with conflict-free counsel must be vacated.
Finally, PHRC asks us to review the Commonwealth Court's "observation" that the issue decided by PHRC was not the controlling issue. This Court does not review "observations." After the Commonwealth Court, on remand, has decided the issues which were properly left undetermined once the first hearing was determined, albeit erroneously, to be faulty, either party may again petition this Court for permission to file an appeal.
Order vacated, case remanded to the Commonwealth Court for proceedings consistent with this opinion.

March 3, 1982
UNITED STATES of America and Andrew Rosenblatt, Revenue Agent, Internal Revenue Service, Petitioners,
ISLAND TRADE EXCHANGE, INC. and Mark Goldston, President of Island Trade Exchange, Inc., Respondents
This is an Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") summons enforcement proceeding brought pursuant to 26 U.S.C. § 7604(a).
The IRS is conducting an investigation into the tax liability of certain unknown members of Island Trade Exchange, Inc. (the "Exchange"), a bartering exchange. It alleges that these members have omitted altogether or, at least, improperly reported income from their bartering transactions.
In April 1981, the IRS filed a petition for leave to serve a third party John Doe summons pursuant to sections 7609(f)
and (h)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954. 26 U.S.C. § 7609. Based upon this petition and a supporting affidavit, on April 7, 1981, Judge Thomas C. Platt of this Court determined, ex parte, that the statutory requirements of section 7609(f) had been met and he entered an order allowing the IRS to serve a John Doe summons on the respondents.
The summons was served, but the respondents have failed to comply. Accordingly, on December 3, 1981, the IRS filed an order to show cause why the summons should not be enforced. The respondents appeared and strenuously opposed the summons on the grounds that the IRS failed to meet its burden under section 7609(f) and that the summons was an improper research tool. The IRS countered that the Court had no power to review Judge Platt's ex parte order, and, even if it did, that the IRS had satisfied the statutory requirements.
Briefs have been filed by the parties on both issues, as requested by the Court. In addition the IRS has submitted a Supplemental Affidavit, without obtaining the Court's permission. Respondents vehemently object to its consideration by the Court.
Three issues are involved in this proceeding: (1) whether this Court in an enforcement proceeding has the power to review Judge Platt's ex parte order; if it does (2) whether the Court may consider the Supplemental Affidavit filed by the IRS; and (3) whether the IRS has met its statutory burden under section 7609(f).
1. The Court's Power to Review the Ex Parte Order.
The Supreme Court has stated in no uncertain terms that any person summoned "may challenge the summons on any appropriate ground." United States v. Powell, 379 U.S. 48, 58, 85 S. Ct. 248, 255, 13 L. Ed. 2d 112 (1964). Indeed, a summoned party is entitled to a "full opportunity for judicial review before any coercive sanctions may be imposed." Reisman v. Caplin, 375 U.S. 440, 450, 84 S. Ct. 508, 514, 11 L. Ed. 2d 459 (1964). Nevertheless, the IRS seeks to deny that right to the recipients of a John Doe summons.
Although it pays lip service to it, the IRS apparently ignores the dictates of United States v. Powell, 379 U.S. at 57-58, 85 S. Ct. at 254-255, which sets forth the standards for enforcement of an IRS summons. To obtain enforcement, the IRS must show four things: (1) that the summons was issued for a legitimate purpose: (2) that the summoned data are relevant to that purpose; (3) that the data are not already in the government's possession; and (4) that the administrative steps required by the Internal Revenue Code have been followed. Id.
Thus, even if we accept the IRS argument that the Court cannot review the District Court's ex parte finding that the statutory criteria under section 7609(f) have been met, the IRS has made only the fourth showing that "the administrative steps required" for issuance and service of a section 7609(f) summons have been followed. A John Doe respondent is still free to challenge the IRS' showing on any of the other three grounds. The Exchange has done just that here, arguing that the summons was issued for an improper purpose, that is, as a research tool. The Court certainly has the power to review that claim.
There is nothing in section 7609(f), nor its legislative history, to suggest that the Court's power in an enforcement proceeding is limited in any way. Indeed, section 7609(b) clearly contemplates enforcement proceedings. It provides a right to intervention "in any proceeding with respect to the enforcement of (a section 7609 summons) under section 7604." So does section 7609(h)(2) which provides that "a proceeding brought for the enforcement of any summons" under the section is to "take precedence on the docket."
The Staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation responsible for drafting section 7609 explained that Congress intended that a third-party record keeper, like the respondents here, would have standing to assert "defenses to enforcement which witnesses are traditionally allowed to claim." Explanation of the Tax Reform Act of 1976 at 366-67. See also S.Rep.No.94-938 at 368-69, 94th Cong., 2d Sess. (1976), U.S.Code Cong. & Admin.News 1976, p. 2897. As a leading text observes, the "third-party recordkeeper has the right, as under prior law, to assert such defenses as may be available to it." J. Mertens, 8A The Law of Federal Income Taxation § 47.41(c) at 229 (1978).
The root error in the IRS argument is its failure to distinguish between the right to issue a John Doe summons and the right to enforce it. As the Third Circuit noted in United States v. Pittsburgh Trade Exchange, Inc., 644 F.2d 302, 305 (3d Cir. 1981), the " "determination required to be made under (section 7609(f))' is only that: a determination that a summons may issue, not that it should be enforced." Id. at 305. I find, therefore, that respondents are free to challenge the IRS showing that the statutory requirements of section 7609(f) have been met in order to rebut the IRS' showing that the required administrative steps have been followed. United States v. Powell, 379 U.S. at 58, 85 S. Ct. at 255. See United States v. Pittsburgh Trade Exchange, Inc., 644 F.2d at 304-05. Other courts considering this question have agreed. See United States v. Brigham Young University, 485 F. Supp. 534, 537 (D.C.Utah 1980), appeal pending, (No. 80-1058 10th Cir.); United States v. Maxwell, 81-1 U.S.T.C. P 9378 (D.C.Nev.1981). But see United States v. Hays, 81-2 U.S.T.C. P 9627 (N.D.Ga.1981); In the Matter of Purchasers of Master Recordings from Bowman Recording & Prod. Co., 45 A.F.T.R.2d 80-1553 (N.D.Ga.1980).
2. The IRS Supplemental Affidavit.
This enforcement proceeding was brought on at the IRS' behest by an Order to Show Cause, dated December 3, 1981. The Order required the IRS to serve its petition for enforcement, along with supporting exhibits and affidavits, and directed respondents to file its responsive papers thereto prior to the hearing. The Order clearly contemplated that only those papers would be considered by the Court.
At the hearing on December 23, 1981, the IRS was granted permission to file a Memorandum of Law on the issue of whether the Court had jurisdiction to review Judge Platt's Order permitting the issuance of the summons, as well as whether the IRS had met its burden under section 7609(f). It was not granted leave to file a Supplemental Affidavit. I therefore will not consider the Supplemental Affidavit or any references made to it in the IRS' Memorandum of Law.
3. The Sufficiency of the IRS' Showing Under Section 7609(f).
The respondents agree that the IRS does not have a reasonable basis for believing that members of the Exchange are failing to properly report their income. § 7609(f)(2). However, in another case involving a bartering exchange, remarkably similar to the case here, the Third Circuit held that enforcement of an IRS summons was proper. In United States v. Pittsburgh Trade Exchange, Inc., 644 F.2d 302 (3d Cir. 1981), the respondents argued that the IRS failed to show that it had a "reasonable basis for believing" that members of the exchange were not complying with the internal revenue laws.
§ 7609(f)(2). Based principally on an IRS Agent's testimony that barter transactions are "inherently susceptible to tax error since no cash is involved," the Court held that the IRS had shown a reasonable basis for believing that exchange members failed to comply with the tax laws. 644 F.2d at 306.
In this case, the affidavit of IRS Agent Rosenblatt filed in the ex parte hearing before Judge Platt establishes that (1) prior examinations of bartering exchanges and their members by the Internal Revenue Service revealed high levels of omitted or improperly reported income (Rosenblatt Affidavit, P 9-14); and (2) the "unique and nontraditional features of bartering transactions" cause taxpayers to omit or improperly report income. Rosenblatt Affidavit, P 14.
I may not "ignore the considerable expertise that (Agent Rosenblatt) gained from (his) special training and experience." United States v. Mendenhall, 446 U.S. 544, 565-66, 100 S. Ct. 1870, 1882-83, 64 L. Ed. 2d 497 (1980) (Powell, Jr., concurring). Accordingly, I find that the IRS has demonstrated a "reasonable basis" for believing that unknown members of the Exchange have violated the tax laws. United States v. Pittsburgh Trade Exchange, Inc., 644 F.2d 302, 306 (3d Cir. 1981); United States v. Maxwell, 81-1 U.S.T.C. P 9378 at 87,028-29 (D.Nev.1981). But see In the Matter of the Tax Liability of John Does, Members of the Columbus Trade Exchange, No. C-2-80-410 (S.D.Ohio June 17, 1980); United States v. Brigham Young University, 485 F. Supp. 534 (D.Utah 1980), appeal pending, No. 80-1058 (10th Cir.).
4. The Purpose of the Summons.
Respondents argue that this summons was issued for an improper purpose, that is, as an information gathering or research project. See United States v. Humble Oil & Refining Co., 488 F.2d 953, 962-63 (5th Cir. 1974), vacated and remanded, 421 U.S. 943, 44 L. Ed. 2d 97, 95 S. Ct. 1670 (1975), aff'd per curiam, 518 F.2d 747 (5th Cir. 1975). They concede, however, that the summons is directed at an ascertainable group of persons.
The Fifth Circuit has succinctly ruled on the standard to be applied in these circumstances:
A section 7602 summons may be issued to gain data that will subsequently be used for research purposes, where the summons is also issued for a purpose authorized by the statute. ...
United States v. First Nat'l State Bank in Dallas, 635 F.2d 391, 396 (5th Cir. 1981). In this case, the respondents have effectively conceded that the summons was issued for the proper purpose of investigating an ascertainable group-the members of the Exchange. Based on this, and the facts alleged in the Rosenblatt Affidavit, I find that the IRS is engaged in an actual investigation and that the summons was issued for a proper purpose. That the IRS may also use data disclosed for research or informational purposes is no reason to refuse to enforce this summons. See United States v. Pittsburgh Trade Exchange, Inc., 644 F.2d at 307-08; United States v. First Nat'l State Bank of Dallas, 635 F.2d at 394-96.
For all of the above reasons, I find that the IRS has met its burden under United States v. Powell, 379 U.S. 48, 85 S. Ct. 248, 13 L. Ed. 2d 112 (1964). Accordingly, the summons will be enforced.

I just finished reading Dean Graziosi\"s book and am looking to build a cash buyers list.My short term goal is to work with other wholesalers and to learn all i can about putting properties under contract and assigning.If there is a mentor out there that can help me with this i would greatly appreciate it.I can work as many hours as it takes to learn this business.In the meantime,i will build my buyers list and i will drive around looking for possible properties.
Update.Since i started,i have sold close to a hundred properties.I consider myself the king of joint ventures.In the beginning i had plenty of properties but no buyers.I learned that there were other people with buyers looking for properties.i I knew at that point that the jv could work and it was key to making my first check for $9000.00 !!! I was hooked.

my firmware version is v220.127.116.114.
i tried hard rebooting(didn't work), changed my audio settings to audio treble(didn't work). need help!
Hi Everyone,
I recently picked up a 9900 from Telus and I have noticed that it is randomly losing sound on outgoing and incoming calls. With outgoing calls it dials out fine and connects to who I am calling but I don't hear the ringing when the call goes out and I can't hear the person on the other end when it connects. When I receive a call I hear my ringtone but when I answer it I can't hear the person on the other end.The only way I can talk to someone when it is acting like this is to switch from headset mode to speaker.
I played around with my phone and sound but could not find a fix. The only thing that works is a battery pull but even that is only temporary. So far the longest I can go is two days before I have to do another pull.
Any ideas on what could be wrong or should I just take the phone back and get a new one? I've heard this is actually an issue with the 9900 so I am a bit worried about replacing it when it could happen again.

Blackberry Jam in the online game CountryLife is made in a jam'r from honey and blackberries (which you can grow from level 23).
The jam'r can store three trays of fruit (each earning 1 XP) and three jarfuls of honey (each earning 1 XP). It produces one jar of jam in 60 seconds if both ingredients are in place and there are no more than two finished jars on the output bench.
One jar of jam sells for 145 coins; profit 15 (after allowing for the sale prices of honey and fruit forgone): that's 2.50/h if you harvest the fruit as soon as it's ready.
If you find that bedtime is less than 6 hours away, you can plant:
- blueberries, which take only 3 hours to grow and when turned into jam produce 7 coins of profit, i.e. slightly fewer coins per hour for the same amount of work (and the same number of XP).
- clover, which grows in only 4 hours (earning 1.25 per hour if sold but 2.50 if fed to a cow) and will add to your honey supply if your beehive is operating to pollinate it;

An easy zig zag lace pattern mimics the lapping of waves back and forth. The Rushing Tide Socks are knit from the top down with a reinforced heel for better wear. Knit in cashmere-blend yarn for maximum coziness!
Rushing Tide Socks feature a lovely allover lace pattern that meanders back and forth along the length
of the sock. In between each lace "panel" is a thin vertical line of purl stitches, making it the fabric
ribbing-like and increasing the stretchiness of the socks.
Each row of the lace pattern increments in a way that is easy to remember, and there are "resting
rows" to help speed along your knitting.

Attitude Determine how Well We Can be in Doing Everything
How good we are doing is determine by our attitude towards life and that will be the determines to reach for others.
Opportunities in life create through our attitude and from the respect that we give to others, this also creating more goodwill as the opportunities come to undertake something all together.
If we ourselves are not motivated to do something, we will never have the opportunities to be dexterity in our knowledge.
Our own interest and willingness can decide what we want to achieve in life, the more energy and time we spend into something, the better the results and benefits we will be getting there.
That's just one indication of ourselves if we want to obtain something in life thus we will have no problem for doing so.
It is a prerequisite to adapt ourselves to the community with decent statements and a respectable attitude towards fellow human beings.
Everywhere make trouble over trifles will yield no appreciation but result in a bad reputation and become widespread more faster than we think.
Trust and friendships which achieve with peaceful intentions will be admired throughout the world.
Caution should also be taken into account, as the kitten will be disadvantaged quicker than a tiger.
But a kitten will be coddle faster than a lion, so be ourselves and the determination is therefore can be evaluated easily.
To do everything well is almost impossible because there are no chefs who can cook to feed the mouths from all the different culture.
But our own attitude determines whether we are open to learn something or adapt it so then we have the possibility to do everything.
I wish you a healthy life.
Kindly Regards,
Author Jan Jansen
