Texas Oil & Gas Enforcement - Violations
Violations data - limited, incomplete
According to the Texas Sunset Advisory Commission, "When [RRC] inspectors uncover violations of statute or Commission rule, they report the violations to the district office for review, and the agency sends a notice of violation [NOV] to operators."[1]
At the present time, RRC does not have a publicly accessible database that allows the public to examine the violations recorded by RRC inspectors or the NOVs sent to operators every year.
Rider 17 of the 2012-2013 General Appropriations Act required the RRC to publish information about violations on its web site.[2] In 2012, RRC began posting summary statistics of violations on a quarterly basis. It would be more useful and transparent for the RRC to create a publicly accessible database of the violations. An on-line database of oil and gas violations exists in Pennsylvania, and other states like Ohio also make violations data available electronically. It is not clear if RRC plans to create such a database.
It would be useful to know which rules in particular are being violated, as this might help the RRC and citizens to track the types of violations that are most problematic for operators. In 2009, RRC provided the Texas Sunset Advisory Commission ("Sunset Commission") with statistics on the top ten most frequently violated rules in the state. The data are summarized in this table.

According to the Sunset Commission, the RRC tracks the number of violations of statewide rules per year, but until 2012 violations by statewide rule were not posted anywhere on the agency's web site. Because of Rider 17, RRC now publishes quarterly statistics on violations by statewide rule, but for some unknown reason only does so for a small portion of the total number of alleged violations. For example in the first quarter of 2012 there were 13,196 "alleged violations identified through oil and gas inspections," but just 140 of those were itemized by rule number. It is not clear why only a small subset of the alleged violations are itemized by rule number.
Looking at limited data provided for the first three quarters of Fiscal Year 2012, there are certain rule violations that stand out. Rules with the most violations are: No. 14 (Plugging - 357 violations), No. 8 (Water Protection - 194), and No. 3 (Identification or properties - 132).
Violations down, but compliance still a problem
Prior to 2012, RRC did not publish any violation statistics on its web site. We were able to find some violations data in RRC and non-RRC reports. As seen in the chart, between 2006 and 2010 the number of oil and gas violations recorded by RRC inspectors decreased from approximately 90,000 to just over 71,000.[3] Meanwhile, as seen in the chart, the number of inspections increased between 2006 and 2009.
The trend Texas is contrary to what has been observed in other states: typically, when inspections increase, more violations are found (for examples, see our information on inspections and violations in Pennsylvania and Ohio).
There are a few ways to interpret the Texas violations statistics:
- It is possible that by conducting more inspections there has been a more visible presence of Texas RRC personnel in the field, causing operators to work more carefully, and violations to go down.
- Alternatively, it is possible that inspectors did not find as many violations in 2010 because the inspections were not as thorough as they were in 2006. Between 2006 and 2010 the number of inspectors remained fairly constant (87 in 2006, 88 in 2010), but there were approximately 3,500 more inspections in 2010 than in 2006, meaning inspectors spent less time on each inspection.
It is also possible that inspectors simply stopped issuing violations for minor offenses, or that inspectors were instructed to treat violations differently in recent years. For example, regulatory agencies under administrations that wish to encourage oil and gas development and emphasize employment and revenue over public safety could direct agency personnel to avoid issuing violations and instead talk to operators about their observations.
Former Railroad Commission District Director, Mark Henkhaus, recently wrote that, "I know that a Commission field technician is able to detect 'technical violations' on almost any lease or well site. . . many less-serious violations are dealt with in the Commission's district office by district staff in person, on the telephone. . ."[4]
Despite the drop in violations, the fact that there were 70,000 violations in 2010 makes it clear that a very serious problem with compliance still exists in Texas. In 2010, RRC inspectors consistently recorded more violations per inspection than their counterparts in other states.[5] In 2010, RRC inspectors found 0.6 violations per inspection, while inspectors and Pennsylvania and Ohio found 0.2 and 0.1 violations, respectively.
Companies repeatedly violate the same rules
The Sunset Commission, which reviewed the RRC enforcement program in 2011, stated that "part of the reason for the large number of violations is that the Commission's enforcement process is not structured to deter repeat violations." The Sunset Commission also found that "the [RRC] does not specifically track repeat violations unless the violation is one of the 4 percent brought forward to enforcement.[6]
Data compiled by Earthworks from the RRC severance database reveals that there operators who repeatedly violate certain RRC rules.[7] This database includes information on wells that have been required to stop producing oil and/or gas because of rule violations. shows that for some oil and gas operators, receiving a violation does not appear to deter them from breaking the same rules over and over again. This section outlines two indicators that behavior may not be seriously affected when companies are issued a violation are that: 1) companies violate the same rules on many well sites (one violation does not alter their behavior); and 2) companies repeatedly violate the same rule (i.e., have recurring violations). Both trends indicate that some companies have little regard for the rules. As a result, the Commission cannot be certain that operators are not committing repeated violations."

Companies violate the same rule on many well sites: In Texas, operators with inactive wells are required to conduct a well integrity or H-15 test "to establish that an inactive well over 25 years old does not pose a potential threat of harm to natural resources, including surface and subsurface water, oil and gas."
Data from the severance database show that over a two-year period (2010 and 2011), there were 1,713 delinquent H-15 reports for natural gas leases. As seen in the chart, there were thirteen companies with 15 or more delinquent H-15 reports for gas leases during this period.[8] Devon Energy and Pioneer Natural Resources were by far the worst offenders, failing to file 100 and 82 H-15 reports, respectively.
Companies repeatedly violate the same rule on the same site: When specific well records were examined, they showed that companies repeatedly violate the same rules at the same facility. For example, in 1995, 1997, 1999, 2002, 2004, and 2006 Chesapeake Operating, Inc. was sent certified letters for failing to file H-15 forms for the Detijerina, H.C. lease as required by law. Similarly, Devon Energy Production Company, L.P. was issued certified letters because of delinquent H-15 filings on its Fagan H.F. lease in 1994, 1995, 1996, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2009.
There is no doubt that many other examples exist of companies repeatedly violating the same rules in Texas. Unfortunately, because the RRC does not yet have a publicly available database of violations, it was not possible to determine the full scope of the problem.
The data above show that despite repeated issuance of violations and oil and gas severances/seals, operators continue to violate the same rules – sometimes on the same well site, sometimes at many of their well sites. The repeated occurrence of the same violation shows a pattern of disregard for RRC rules, and the environment. To reduce the number of repeat violations, RRC should significantly escalate penalties for repeat offenses.

I meant reg villager. Whatever color.

TheHammer24 wrote:Okay, so I just read through pages 7-16 rather quickly though. PS87 screamed good guy (green or blue) and Columbia went after him/her (did we ever figure this out)? He claims green though. I am big on not going after a claimed green because it's usually an horrible idea, but do we even know who the greens roles are? Can we even refute Columbia's claim? Just keep that in mind because it might explain his claim but attack evidence. What is Columbia's justification for PS87?
Redwill is now claimed green because Columbia used his resurrect power (allegedly), right? Is it possible that Columbia was originally an independent, then started working with redwill but the two are trying to blend as green? Does the game ever play out like that?
Benny was going hard after redwill after we said "We think a red will go after redwill." That could be flaunting what we said as an effort to make it look so stupid to deflect attention. Benny was also in late on some of the votes to finish people off.
I am not big on a Benny vote, but I also don't think Benny is green, so that's important. I guess, I'm somewhat sticking with Benny. However, the seer should definitely be looking at Columbia for his erratic play.
Gaucho was raising my eyebrows as I read, but I can't remember why any more.
TheHammer24 wrote:Okay. Let's figure something out. What roles are there? I am pretty new to this but it seems like you guys are assuming too much into what already seems like a kind of whacky game.
Gaucho doesn't really concern me any more, but it is strange that he kept going after PS87. His annoyance with non-participation seemed genuine though. I won't vote for Gaucho yet.
TheHammer24 wrote:I am thinking TEIB.
Here are a few questions. I have to run out for a few hours.
Can someone piece together what the writeups have said? How has the recruit process worked in the past?
And can someone, for the love of God, explain where we stand one Redwill? Are we okay with him just because Columbia's claim green?
And can someone explain WTF the seer is doing?

TheHammer24 wrote:I'm so confused. Can someone give a general summary of how this stuff goes down in previous games?
I think MWB is a brilliant recruit. I think Willie Kool would make a good recruit just because he was blatantly blue, but I wouldn't move on that until we see more. I'd probably make a decent one, too, based on my criteria. However, i don't think it would be fair and based on the write up it doesn't seem like it is the case, that the recruit all took place in one night.
We still have the reds outnumbered 12-3. Assuming an independent or a recruit it could be at worse, something like 9-2-4.
I could get behind a TEIB vote or an IE vote based on the reasons you got on him last night. I wouldn't go against the non-parts but I would get behind the passive-parts. And for the love of God, could the seer tell us something?!?!?!
TheHammer24 wrote:When was Gaucho cleared. My long post previously said everyone had been cleared in one way or another except for Gaucho and Mac and Willie. To a lesser extent, Benny but he did get in second on Rylan, which would be a bizarre baddie move.
I'm on Board with Mac for reasons stated previously.
TheHammer24 wrote:No one thinks this is a bit off?Benny Fitz wrote:mac if you dont cool it TEIB is gonna be peepin yo crib tonight!
Maybe nothing but it seems like Benny was trying to accomplish something. However, the only plausible explanation is Mac is bad and Benny was recruited.
I like Mac more than Gaucho, still.
TheHammer24 wrote:Sigh.
This is only my second game, which is why I ask easy questions.
And moreover, TEIB saw me and said I was blue on night one -- most of those posts that you just quoted were before Night Five, which is well before the recruit occurred. (Unless you think it happened on Night 2, but that is inconsistent with Night two).

Let us know the ZIP Code of the property you would like to cover to see all available products
There's a complicated network of pipes, lines, valves and drains that make up your home's plumbing system. All these parts can get clogged and break as they age and it's your responsibility to fix these problems. Plus, most pipes and drains sit behind your walls, making it more difficult to know when something will go wrong. When problems do occur, leaks and clogged drains need to be fixed quickly before they cause flooding and water damage to your home.
With a repair plan from HomeServe USA, you can help protect yourself from the cost and hassle of emergency repairs. Enter your ZIP Code to find available plans in your area.

charging system problems
Ok Here is my problem... I'm driving down the road, and i use my turn signals and the lights start to blink, turn signals go slow, etc. step on the gas a bit and blinker speeds up, lights brighten up, etc. Now when i'm at a stop the lights are dim and the charge indicator gauge is at D . i'm giving the car a bit of gas and the lights start to blink.. the charge indicator light goes from D to just above D to D and back to above D and then back down to D.. etc.
Now i went to an alternator shop, and they checked my belt, and tightened it up a bit and said there you go see you later... but the problem persists.. They tested the battery and the charging system and said that it is 14 volts. I haven't had the car die on me from having a dead battery yet, but i don't want it to happen to me.
What other tests can i do to make sure my charging system is working properly.. It is the only thing left on this car to do that will make me feel safe driving it. (I've gotten the engine rebuilt, the tranny rebuilt, the windows pulled and reinstalled and got all the rust in the window frames repaired.
Oh yes... I drive a 64 Tbird. it has an external voltage regulator.
I want to turn my charging system into something a little bit more reliable than i feel that it is now... I'm thinking of doing away with the external regulator, and getting an alternator with a built in regulator wired into my car instead. Or else going through and replacing all the wire in my car so i know that it is all good. which will be a major job.
*If you are charging at 14 volts, you will be fine. Internal regulators are no better than an external one, as long as they are working.
A quick way to check if it is charging, pull off the neg battery terminal while it is running. If it stays running it is charging.
i just drove about 1/2 hr away, and the lights were barely working... I couldn't see the road. dropped it off at the shop... gonna work on it next week i guess. Decided to pick up the trusty 05 corrolla xrs.
if everything is working properly, then I think i will have to upgrade so that it is more modern, and reliable
Doc here
Try adjusting the regulator (air gap and field screws in the regulator) to cut in earlier or higher in voltage, If it won't, replace it before abandoning the system.
Changing the alternator is not going to help you if you are already charging now...unless you want the benefit of non adjustable regulator charging..
Remember, the downsides can also be, overcharging, with no way to adjust a regulator, and no indicator tap for a charge light.
You also might have a high resistance to ground through the engine ground (it sits on rubber mounts) Be Sure your Ground Cable goes straight from your battery to a bolt near your starter on the block.
Get a battery cable with ring terminals on both ends on it (about 6 bucks at the auto parts store) and using a star washer and lock washer bolt the junction of grounds near the starter..The other end of the cable with ring terminals goes to the frame.
With a 10 gauge wire or better, a hand full of ring terminals and star washers, run a wire from the Alternator bracket or case up to the firewall and ground it there, make another wire and join with the firewall wire and run that to the bolt at the main ground.
Use Star-washers and burnish off any paint where you are attaching a ground wire for good bonding. This will give you a reliable ground system that will outlive your car.
On the battery wire , unhook the main battery cable, with a DMM, set it to Rx1 scale and measure the resistance between the alternator (or regulator) to the battery cable, If it's more than 0.03 0r 0.04 ohms (lead length resistance)... you have a bad connection or corrosion somewhere track it down OR just replace the wire.
Usually regulator adjustment or good grounding will cure the problem if the alternator is working.

HORARY SERIES VOLUME II:The Forty Chapters
of al-Kindi
Buy all three horary books (Judges, Search, and Forty Chapters) for 10% off!
The famous, "first" Arab philosopher, al-Kindi (ca. 801-870 AD) wrote many instructional letters and works on astrology and the universe. The Forty Chapters is on horary and electional astrology: answering questions and choosing auspicious times to act. It is the second horary volume in the Essential Medieval Astrology cycle. (308 pages)
The Forty Chapters was used extensively by later medieval and Renaissance astrologers such as 'Ali al-Rijal (Haly Abenragel) and the great William Lilly. Beginning with an introduction to astrological principles and types of perfection (how planets indicate success or failure), al-Kindi addresses how to interpret and cast charts pertaining to legal conflicts, missing objects, thefts and fugitives, travel, attaining honors, treason and sieges, war and peace, wealth, real estate, ships and commerce, marriage and pregnancy, friendships, medicine, weather, and more. Preview the Table of Contents.
Al-Kindi also provides valuable general information on desigining elections and chart interpretation. With commentary and a detailed Introduction by the translator, Dr. Benjamin Dykes, it is essential for traditional astrologers. Preview the Introduction and text.

Most of my Office 365 engagements are hybrid projects connecting Office 365 with Exchange on-premises, and most are with larger companies concerned with securing the hybrid deployment.
Exchange Online Protection servers send SMTP emails using a TLS connection usually to the hybrid or Edge Transport server to enable mail flow between cloud and on-prem users. Microsoft does not support any sort of SMTP gateway or appliance between EOP and the Edge or hybrid server. For this reason, customers normally have to open TCP port 25 on the firewall to the hybrid server from the Exchange Online Protection servers.
Companies can secure this SMTP traffic by configuring the perimeter firewall to allow inbound TCP 25 traffic only from Exchange Online Protection servers to the hybrid or Edge servers.
I've seen a number of articles that list the public IP addresses used by EOP to send SMTP emails to on-prem customers, but the one true list is maintained in the article, Exchange Online Protection IP Addresses. Currently, this article lists seven IPv4 blocks and one IPv6 block for SMTP delivery to on-prem:
- 18.104.22.168/24
- 188.8.131.52/26
- 22.214.171.124/24
- 188.8.131.52/24
- 18.104.22.168/26
- 126.96.36.199/24
- 18.104.22.168/24
- 2a01:111:f400:7c00::/54
Up until April 2014, Microsoft used many other IP addresses to send emails from Office 365 tenants to on-prem customers. This is because they maintain another set of IP addresses for something called the High Risk Delivery Pool, which is used to protect the production Exchange Online namespace from "spammy" senders. EOP no longer uses the High-Risk Delivery Pool when sending emails between the customer's tenant and their on-prem servers.
It's nice to know that we now have a single source to point to when configuring firewalls for Office 365.

NBC Spotlights Family Homelessness
November 30, 2012
Last night NBC's Rock Center with Brian Williams ran a short news segment about two homeless families. It was a rare instance of a national television network sharing with the nation the plight of homeless families and the issues they face.
One of the families spotlighted in the program received shelter from a church program that required them to move to a different church every week; while the other family faced the threat of being broken up because of the scarcity of shelters that accommodate large families or families with older male children.
A particularly heartbreaking image from the segment that has stuck with me is of the nine-year-old daughter of the first family tightly clutching a pink Popsicle stick bird house that reminded her of the home she used to have.
As a nation, we have a responsibility to prevent children like her from falling into homelessness, or to divert them from becoming homeless, whenever possible. Where prevention or diversion fails, we must reduce the trauma they experience by re-housing homeless families as quickly as possible. We know that rapid re-housing is a successful and cost-effective intervention for family homelessness. Unfortunately, as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Shaun Donovan points out in this story, we need more resources to meet the increases in family homelessness.

Where do you source your residential electrical wire?
Sort of an informal poll for those in any biz (or even DIY'er) using quantities of electrical wire normally found in a residential setting (NM, THHN, MC, etc.) Please list the type of wire, and where you source from.
I've shopped around....unless your buying a boat load....HD is just about as cheap.....
I got as cheap as a box store from my lighting and electrical supply house.
I often use mineral insulated cables from the local electrical supply.
Big box store for boxes of NM. Electrical supply for cut lengths of THWN & SE(R). Also have bought on line and storage locker auctions.
Supply house .They deliver right to my shop.Just a fax away.
My supply houses are about as cheap as the big box stores. Not that I care, I use supply houses almost exclusively.
Box stores seem to have better prices on #14 and #12 NM. But it seems supply house beats them with cut wire. If I need any THHN and its bigger than #10, I get a quote from the supply house. In most every case they will beat the store. But only on individual wire like THHN and in sizes larger than #10.
Supply houses sell crap to.
Box stores pay taxes the same as any other store.
Box stores while not having the most experienced employees, seem to take care of them.
I have never seen a supply house give anything away unless its a raffle type deal. Box stores are always donating materials to good causes.
There are some good things about supply houses.
Should you need a 1500 amp fuse at 2:00 am on Christmas morning, you might have it within two days. HD does not sell this fuse and the supply house has to order it..
And they can usually give you a better price on larger wire.

The 2010 Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) included a provision requiring public companies to disclose the pay gap between chief executives and rank-and-file employees. The pay ratio calculation compares the annual total compensation of the chief executive officer (CEO) to the median of the annual total compensation of all employees. Annual total compensation includes base salary, bonuses, stock and option awards, long-term cash incentive pay, change in pension value, non-qualified deferred compensation earnings and certain other compensation, including perquisites. While the concept appears to be simple, it is riddled with complexities in determining pay amounts across a broad workforce, particularly for global employers. For this reason specific guidance has been delayed, and public companies have yet to be required to disclose this ratio in their proxy filings.
The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has now released proposed pay ratio rules. These rules are subject to public comments, which are due within 60 days of their publication in the Federal Register. The regulations are to be effective for fiscal years commencing after final rules are published, so they will not affect the 2014 proxy season.

Aqva Pour Homme Marine Toniq includes the freshness of mineral waters in each of its crystal droplets. Energetic, vivid and cool summer holiday scent opens with intense notes of tangy pear and grapefruit. Its core contains a mixture of crystal ice and Posidonia sea weed, deposited on light woody base notes of sandalwood and white cedar.
Jacques Cavallier, who created the original editions, also signs these new edition.
It is available as 50 ml EDT.
Aqva Pour Homme Marine Toniq was launched in 2011.

Man pheromone in bottle. i got alot of kardamon and green tea opening,,,,,
optimum for summer nights.
I love this scent. Fresh, spicy.
I may be in the minority here, but I don't get any of the seaweed and fishy notes others mention. I get salty aquatic notes with a decent amount of mint. Maybe a tiny hint of that dirty sea air, but not as much as others are talking. This truly reminds me of being on the coast. It is a perfect fragrance for summer.
For the first half hour, it's hard to hold on to its bitterness. Was very disappointing. But... There comes seaweed and aquatic notes from deep and gives the freshness of seashore with average sillage. Not everyones cup of tea though...
This honestly doesn't smell of fish! Because of it's accurate depiction of marine smells, I think people are making a subconscious association that, thankfully doesn't actually manifest itself in the perfume :-)
This is a great aquatic and, although distinctive, does have aspects in common with Kenzo Homme and Boucheron Jaipur Pour Homme Limited Edition. I'm delighted, because Jaipur Ltd Edtn is difficult to get now, and this will do the job in its individual way.
This is beautifully composed, as Aqva is, and I will now have to buy the other 3 Aqvas by Bvlgari too!
Excellent for summer nights,i wont wear it in summer days as it might be over salty or fishy or what so ever!!! but i m impressed by the longevity..
It really does have the fish smell. It is the MARINE Water scent. But it's nice fragrance. A bit cloying for me I think.
It's pretty strong for a tonic. Great quality grapefruit-aquatic with wet fresh notes on top of a dry woody background. Reminds me of the original Kenzo homme.
I love the idea of this fragrance! It's exciting, and edgey. But, with that said, it has gone way overboard with the seaweed. I smells of washed up, dead, decaying fish on a windy day at the beach. The top of this fragrance is beautiful and bursting with citrus! Not once did I get Pear though. Seems very hard to pull of. Definitely more of a casual, day-on-the-beach scent for the risk taker.
Is this discountinued?
Smells similar to Aqua Marine which is my favourite and this one oddly seems to last longer. There's more citrus in this it seems than Aqua Marine and it's sharp to begin with then mellows to a sweet citrus scent. Aqua Marine on the other hand has one of the best grapefruit openings. I like both. I hate the original Aqua though. Too much saltiness in that one. This one is just perfect along with Aqua Marine.
Wow, wow, wow!! I love Aqva Pour Homme Marine Toniq by Bvlgari. I really do not smell the "fishy" in this. It smells fresh and summery and I like that. It reminds me of the beaches here in Miami. One thing I do smell is tobacco though. It lasts a very long time on me.
Does this really smell of fish?.
I was considering buying this but the comments about fish put me off.
How can something described as fresh also be fishy at the same time?
The online amazon price seems a bargain for 100ml.
This is Summer fragrance Openinng is very Fresh Aquatic, this is one of my signature fragrance.
very good summer cologne. smells like a light breez by the ocean.
i live in Minnesota, but i visit southern california in the summers and i like this cuz it reminds me of being at the beach.
i like this one over the original aqua.
overall i give it a 7/10.. its not very versatile.. good day time wear in the summer. thats about it.
It's not such a big hit. Deffinitely reminds Aqua Marine- nothing new in this fragrance .I preferred Aqua tonique version. More sofisticated and long lasting than this one. Instead to clone again & again the "Aqua" version's Bulgary could create a brand new and stunning perfume for men.
A flanker of a flanker, and the best of the Aqva series. Salty, sweaty melon concoction with peppermint on top. Bravo.
Lasts seriously more than other Aqva's.I think its the best Bvlgari fragrance.For young people,refreshing smell.I LOVE it!
Similar to A-M, but the briny scent is toned down a bit- citrus seems to be turned up a bit higher, so it appears to be a different balancing of the same notes- overall, the effect makes it more ethereal/transparent than original A-M- and, for me, greater wearability- though I do like both for when I'm in a seascape mood.
The opening is just really freaking sharp citrus note. It gets a bit sour. Then the seaweed kicks in and it gets even more sour, and fishy.
Not the kind of perfume that everyone would like or could pull it off. But you should give it a try. Kinf od interesting
I just wanna add that today this Aqva Marine Toniq smells similar to Womanity on my skin but without the sugary sweetness! The seaweed is very pronounced today, and it comes on like caviar; salty sweet and slightly fishy. It's not bad! It's quite different from everyday men's fragrance. Perhaps today's weather helps bring out this saltiness.
On my skin, it's very salty, fishy, linear, a lot spicy. Better or worse, give it a try and pick your choice. Don't blind buy this ^^
I do not have the original or have i even smelled it. I do have the original Aqua. When I first tried it the toniq was overwhelming and the rest of the scent seemed ordinary. I love Bvlgari but figured this was not goon to work. My wife however thought I liked it and suprised me with a bottle. I have to say it has really grown on me. I think I like it better than the original Aqua.
This is not a fragrance that stands out in a crowd or is even anything overly exciting, but I love it for two reasons. The toniq opening is refreshing without being a blast of citrus witch I hate and the dry down has less musk. Two spays of this last about ten hours at work and it does not offend any of my coworkers. It is hard to find a scent that will last that long and is not overpowering, plus I like it.
Well...tried this today: maybe the beginning can smell good and newer than the original with a bit of tonic vibe, but after 2 min it's like the original one, no differences at all!
As it's very much like the original Aqua Marine I tried to give it a go and bought it today...it's sure the best between the two toniqs, as the aqua toniq smells worse than the original Aqua. Will use this at the poolside :) So fresh!
I have not tried this one, so I cannot write a review, but I think those who smelled fish in aqua marine must have gotten bad juice.
Agree with @nattonline, I am the person who dislike the original marine (too fishy for me), this one add sharp citrus at the beginning and tone down the rest of the salty(fishy) smell. Very versatile with average longevity (3-4 hours).
Fresh summery scent, remind me sunny seaside, beautiful beaches with edge less shore line - paradise.
6/10 from me.

Arraignment Basics
Learn what the typical arraignment process is like, when arraignments take place, and posting bail and the time of your arraignment.
A typical arraignment consists of some or all of the following:
- The suspect—now called the defendant —is given a written accusation prepared by the prosecutor's office.
- The defendant is allowed to apply for court-appointed counsel.
- The defendant responds to the written charges, usually orally and almost always with a "not guilty" plea.
- The judge sets a tentative schedule for later courtroom proceedings, such as a pretrial conference, a preliminary hearing, a hearing on pretrial motions, and the trial itself.
- The judge decides unresolved bail issues (bail may be set, raised, or lowered; or the defendant may be released on his own recognisance ("O.R.").
When Arraignments Take Place
Arraignments are usually held within 48 hours of a suspect's arrest if the suspect is in jail. If the suspect has bailed out or was issued a citation, the arraignment typically occurs several weeks later. The exact timing of arraignments varies from one locality to another.
The requirement that a suspect be arraigned shortly after arrest is intended to protect the suspect. A quick arraignment before a judge means that suspects can't be required to languish in jail while the police rummage around for enough evidence of criminal activity to support a charge. All states must adhere to the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling that an arraignment should take place "as quickly as possible" after arrest. (Mallory v. U.S., U.S. Sup. Ct. 1957). For more on the time within which the authorities must bring arrestees to court, see Arraignment: Getting to Court.
Posting Bail and the Timing of Your Arraignment
By bailing out, a suspect can count on the arraignment being delayed for at least a week or two. The delay rarely disadvantages a bailed-out defendant, because speedy arraignments are intended primarily to benefit jailed suspects. However, in an unusual case, a bailed-out suspect might still ask the judge to dismiss charges because of a delayed arraignment. To be successful, the suspect would have to demonstrate that the delay was extraordinary, that it was not the suspect's fault, and that it ruined the suspect's opportunity to present an effective defense (perhaps because it allowed a crucial defense witness to flee the country).

Doctor Who -- Up Pompeii
There were enough good jokes to keep even the meanest classicist amused in Doctor Who's visit to Pompeii on Saturday night.
For a start, when Donna and the Doctor emerged from the tardis, they immediately assumed that they were in ancient Rome. Well actually they were. Any keen follower of historical movies can spot the "ancient Rome" built at Cinecittà in modern Rome a mile off (it's actually very like the "ancient Rome" built in modern Tunisia, except the whole thing is a bit bigger and the extras tend to have a slightly lighter facial colouring).
But just a few minutes into the plot, the table were nicely turned when we saw an unmistakable Vesuvius looming at the end of the street. The penny quickly dropped for us and for the Doctor. This must be Pompeii.
And it turned out to be August 23 AD 79: for those in the know (like the Doctor) the day before the final eruption. At least that is the usual date: an alternative school of thought, based on the traces of pollen found in the volcanic ash and on the heavy clothes worn by a number of the victims thinks it must have been later in the autumn. (I'm not convinced by the clothing argument. I always imagine I might put on my winter woollies in the middle of an eruption.)
A good start. And hopes that the writers actually knew something about the history of Pompeii and even knew a little Latin were not disappointed.
There were, for example, plenty of reference to the earthquake which had struck the city in 62 (or 63 according to another alternative line of thought) – which may, or may not, have had something to do with the Pyroviles (I cant honestly remember). The city had also obviously been experiencing a fair number of tremors in the run-up to the "Big One". That is exactly in tune with modern archaeological orthodoxy. We now think that the reason that almost every Pompeian house seems to have had the decorators in at the moment they were overwhelmed is because they were trying to patch up all those recent cracks. No archaeologist, so far as I know, has spotted the Pyrovile connection.
Best of all, the screen writers had obviously done the Cambridge Latin Course back in high school. For those reading this outside the UK, the CLC is the favourite modern school course for teaching kids Latin in this country. The first book is set in Pompeii, around an ordinary Pompeian family: Caecilius the banker, Metella his wife, and Quintus the son.
Who did the Doctor meet when he arrived? Caecilius, of course (though apparently no longer a banker, but in the marble trade), Metella and Quintus. The family had also, since the CLC was written, grown a daughter Evelina, who was here briefy in the power of the Pyroviles, uttering weird prophecies and having her arm turn to stone.
For Doctor Who fans the big question at the end was whether the time-lord Doctor was going to allow himself to re-write history and rescue Caecilius and his family. The human Donna eventually persuades him to do so. So, whereas in the CLC only Quintus lives to fight another day, in the Doctor Who version, we find the whole family six months later living happily ever after in Rome.
What actually happened to the REAL Caecilius (for the CLC had based him on the figure of Lucius Caecilius Jucundus, hundreds of whose wax tablet survive detailing his transactions) – we do not know. The chances are that he died before Vesuvius started to rumble.

Exped Schnozzel. $10, including shipping. Paypal only. New, never used. Dimensions say 19" x 3" on the package, but I measure it to be 21" x 2.25". Weight .72 oz. This is the tube only. The package says Schnozzel 2010. It attaches to the pad and a shrink bag. The Backcountry.com website describes it like this: Simply attach one end of this tube to your Exped mat without an integrated pump (AirMat Basic 7.5, SynMat Basic 7.5 or any Exped SIM mat), and the other to the Exped Shrink Bag or any Exped stuff sack with a purge valve. Then use the sack to pump up your pad with ease for a happy night's sleep.
cancel that. It is only the tube. sorry
@rosierabbitLocale: Pacific Northwest
Yeah, that's why it's for sale. A friend of mine and I each ordered the Schnozzel with the yellow pump bag from a site on ebay. Mine came as advertised, and hers came with only the tube. It sells for $17.95 new on several sites. One site had it on sale for about $14. The ebay guy apologized and told her she could just keep it, but also he didn't have any more of the ones with bags. So I offered to sell it for her, since she has no use for it. Hey! I get 50% commission!

The effects of habitat fragmentation on the demography and population genetic structure of Uromys Caudimaculatus
Streatfeild, Craig Anthony (2009) The effects of habitat fragmentation on the demography and population genetic structure of Uromys Caudimaculatus. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.
Habitat fragmentation can have an impact on a wide variety of biological processes including abundance, life history strategies, mating system, inbreeding and genetic diversity levels of individual species. Although fragmented populations have received much attention, ecological and genetic responses of species to fragmentation have still not been fully resolved. The current study investigated the ecological factors that may influence the demographic and genetic structure of the giant white-tailed rat (Uromys caudimaculatus) within fragmented tropical rainforests. It is the first study to examine relationships between food resources, vegetation attributes and Uromys demography in a quantitative manner. Giant white-tailed rat densities were strongly correlated with specific suites of food resources rather than forest structure or other factors linked to fragmentation (i.e. fragment size). Several demographic parameters including the density of resident adults and juvenile recruitment showed similar patterns. Although data were limited, high quality food resources appear to initiate breeding in female Uromys. Where data were sufficient, influx of juveniles was significantly related to the density of high quality food resources that had fallen in the previous three months. Thus, availability of high quality food resources appear to be more important than either vegetation structure or fragment size in influencing giant white-tailed rat demography. These results support the suggestion that a species' response to fragmentation can be related to their specific habitat requirements and can vary in response to local ecological conditions. In contrast to demographic data, genetic data revealed a significant negative effect of habitat fragmentation on genetic diversity and effective population size in U. caudimaculatus. All three fragments showed lower levels of allelic richness, number of private alleles and expected heterozygosity compared with the unfragmented continuous rainforest site. Populations at all sites were significantly differentiated, suggesting restricted among population gene flow. The combined effects of reduced genetic diversity, lower effective population size and restricted gene flow suggest that long-term viability of small fragmented populations may be at risk, unless effective management is employed in the future. A diverse range of genetic reproductive behaviours and sex-biased dispersal patterns were evident within U. caudimaculatus populations. Genetic paternity analyses revealed that the major mating system in U. caudimaculatus appeared to be polygyny at sites P1, P3 and C1. Evidence of genetic monogamy, however, was also found in the three fragmented sites, and was the dominant mating system in the remaining low density, small fragment (P2). High variability in reproductive skew and reproductive success was also found but was less pronounced when only resident Uromys were considered. Male body condition predicted which males sired offspring, however, neither body condition nor heterozygosity levels were accurate predictors of the number of offspring assigned to individual males or females. Genetic spatial autocorrelation analyses provided evidence for increased philopatry among females at site P1, but increased philopatry among males at site P3. This suggests that male-biased dispersal occurs at site P1 and female-biased dispersal at site P3, implying that in addition to mating systems, Uromys may also be able to adjust their dispersal behaviour to suit local ecological conditions. This study highlights the importance of examining the mechanisms that underlie population-level responses to habitat fragmentation using a combined ecological and genetic approach. The ecological data suggested that habitat quality (i.e. high quality food resources) rather than habitat quantity (i.e. fragment size) was relatively more important in influencing giant white-tailed rat demographics, at least for the populations studied here . Conversely, genetic data showed strong evidence that Uromys populations were affected adversely by habitat fragmentation and that management of isolated populations may be required for long-term viability of populations within isolated rainforest fragments.

text: Hey folks, Picked up an '01 'Burb 2500 back in July and didn't notice the driver's mirror glass was buggered. It's supposed to be the one that "dims" with the rear view mirror when it senses bright headlights behind. Needless to say, it doesn't work and is "stuck" in the dimmed/buggered state, which makes for some nasty double vision scenarios, especially at night. Soooo, I'm not sure if that glass can simply be replaced, or should I look into replacing them with some retractable mirrors that I can use for towing our trailer. Right now I have some add-on mirrors for that purpose. Can anyone recommend any aftermarket mirrors that they've had success with? Mine are electric and heated, so I'm hoping there'll be a set that'll connect right up. Cheers, Mike

Kathmandu's marketing people may have been left scratching their heads at comments made by non-executive director John Harvey in the Herald's Mood of the Boardroom business survey.
Asked what his one big change to improve New Zealand would be, Harvey said: "We need to step up the search for natural resources that can be mined or harvested for the benefit of all New Zealand."
Anyone fancy tramping or camping in an open cast mine? Not quite the image Kathmandu will be using to sell its latest range.
Shares in Kathmandu closed down 3c at $1.56 yesterday.
The Financial Markets Authority says it is "interested" in the announcement made by stock exchange operator NZX on Monday but won't be making any other comments at this stage.
The NZX surprised investors by revealing a fall in half-year earnings and an increase in expenses.
Its half-year net profit was $4.5 million in 2011 but the company has said it will be between $3 million and $4 million for the six months to June 30.
It has blamed an increase in costs on a transition to the new chief executive, litigation costs relating to the Clear Grain exchange and other one-off expenses.
The announcement took the market by surprise, sending the share price down 14c to close at $1.18. At one point the stock fell to $1.14.
If the FMA does take its interest any further, one person who sits in a difficult position is James Miller. He is on the board of the NZX and the FMA.
Shares in the NZX closed up 4c at $1.19 yesterday.
Forsyth Barr analyst Andrew Harvey-Green has retained his reduce view on accountancy software firm Xero.
In a note this week Harvey-Green said Xero's customer growth had exceeded his expectations but the company was still at least 12 to 24 months away from breakeven.
"Xero's momentum to date has been highly positive and we expect news flow to remain positive in the near term."
Harvey-Green said customer and revenue growth for the company was expected to more than double in financial year 2013 but the company was overvalued.
"It is our view that the current share price reflects too high a probability of success and overlooks the downside risks."
Shares in Xero closed up 6c at $5.31 yesterday.
Now that Diligent Board Member Services has joined the NZX 50 index more fund managers are having to consider it.
One manager spoken to recently said it was hard to know what the company was worth given its rapid share price rise.
There are some concerns about the company's rate of growth in North America - its main market - where sales haven't increased much in the past nine months as well as what its long-term growth prospects might be.
But one investor who remains confident is Milford Asset Management's Mark Warminger. Milford recently increased its stake in the company from 7.62 per cent to 9 per cent.
Warminger said the business model was not all about new customers in the US but quality growth by stages.
He said Diligent was at present focused on growth in the European market where its margin was higher. Warminger said Diligent had strong cashflow growth and looked cheap for the type of growth it was generating. "We conservatively value it at $6. It is also an attractive takeover target for one of the large US software companies."
Shares in Diligent closed up 1c at $3.96 yesterday.
Broking firm Macquarie has lost a second member of its research team. Last week Stock Takes noted Macquarie's Stephen Ridgewell was moving on to a role at Craigs Investment Partners.
Now it seems fellow analyst Brooke Bone will also leave the firm in about a month to head to fund manager Milford Asset Management.
The double departure in such a short time raises questions about what might be going on at the firm. Macquarie, like all broking firms, has had its revenue streams squeezed in recent years with global uncertainty driving investors away from the markets. Investment banking deals have also been few and far between.
One market source said there had been a lot of uncertainty about the New Zealand operation although he scotched talk of any plans for the company to pull out of New Zealand.
The source said it was more about what size its operations here needed to be, given more and more decisions were being made from Australia. "It certainly makes it a lot harder for staff here."
The company's investment banking team has shrunk in the past five years and the firm's retail broking is no longer done in house but through Direct Broking.

Seattle Public Utilities send residents survey on roadside rain garden project
In order to better engage the community about Phase II of a work-in-progress road-side rain garden project -- meant to mitigate combined sewer overflow -- Seattle Public Utilities is sending out a survey to Ballard residents to gather feedback.
The survey, which most should have received by Saturday, Dec. 22, was sent out via U.S. Mail to about 4,000 Ballard residents -- which includes nearly all households connected to the combined sewer system. The coverage area is between 16th Ave NW and 30th Ave NW, and NW 65th St and NW 85th St.
So SPU can present the results of the survey along with a soils analysis at the Feb. 12 project open house -- to be held at the Sunset Hill Community Club -- SPU is asking residents to submit their responses by Jan. 7.
For residents' convenience, they can also take the survey online at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/BallardCSO
Water pollution has become a particular problem in Ballard as rainwater will drain into a combined sewer system -- meaning when any significant rain event happens, the sewers will overflow and dump water into Salmon Bay. Last year there were 73 combined sewer overflows, more than one per week, which dumped 43 million gallons of pollution into Salmon Bay, according to SPU.
Also according to SPU, a typical single-family home generates nearly 51,000 gallons of storm water runoff each year on average.
SPU says they are asking residents two kinds of questions: "Experiences with drainage on and around their property," and "Preferences and needs related to their neighborhood and project communications."
Rain gardens are just one method of diverting rain water so it doesn't cause pollution in the Puget Sound, though they have been a subject of controversy among some Ballard residents after Phase I had some less than satisfactory initial results. SPU, through this survey and community meetings, hopes to better work and communicate with the community this time around.
Representatives have expressed confidence to the Ballard News-Tribune that the roadside rain garden project will work better this time around.
For further updates, check SPU's Ballard CSO project website at www.seattle.gov/cso/ballard. Survey results will be posted on the website as soon as possible after the open house.

My son recently got his compulsory Buzzy Bee. I can't tell if he is excited about it. He is 6 months old so his emotional range is limited but, if he makes it as far as becoming a father, his children will likely get Buzzy Bees, too.
We inherit more from our parents than language, appearance and religion; we also pick up our parents' brand preferences. However, it is hard to know if this preference is hard-wired or learned behaviour; so some American economists tried to find out.
The National Bureau of Economic Research used an intergenerational study of 18,000 people that began in 1968 and tracked lifestyle and consumer decisions for more than 30 years. The researchers looked at vehicle-buying patterns of parents and their children as the least likely to reflect non-genetic influences.
GM versus Ford was used as a proxy. Both make vehicles that compete at similar prices.
The results were clear; you are 67 per cent more likely to buy a brand your parents drove than one they didn't. It could be that knowing the car worked for your parents reduces the risk of a bad purchase or it could be nostalgia.
This helps explain the endurance of brands such as Telecom and Coca-Cola and reinforces the challenge for those who manage to establish their own brands in a competitive market.
When new markets emerge, such as the battle over search engines, there is no inbuilt brand loyalty. However, once a brand cements itself in the mind of one generation it has the opportunity to be passed on.
