The year England won the World Cup (1966) I was 8 years old and living on the coastguard station at Newhaven with my younger brother, you could hear my late father yell as England lifted the World Cup, we beat West Germany.

Throughout the course of his career as a Ranger, I was always pretty supportive of Marian Gaborik. While I understand some fans appreciate powerforwards more so than pure snipers, I try not to weigh one skill set vs. the other. At the end of the day, teams need skill and will players to create offensive balance. Indeed, Gaborik wasn't one who created offense by lugging the puck through 3 zones, putting moves on 3-4 players and then finish by dekeing out the goalie. He was simply a snipeshow whose strengths were his shot release and his foot speed. For me, the questions with Gaborik were never really about fitting our aggressive forechecking system or staying healthy, but rather about finding consistency and elevating his game. After almost four seasons as a New York Ranger, the answers to those questions are still a bit of a mystery to me. For starters, I don't blame Tortorella at all. I know that last sentence alone will bring out the small contingent of fans that want to axe John,...

FPSO Noble Seillean
|Noble Seillean
|Noble Corporation
|Port of registry:
|Liberia Monrovia
|Harland & Wolff
|Laid down:
|18 September 1986
|4 April 1990
|General characteristics
|Class and type:
|249.7 m (819 ft)
|37 m (121 ft)
|11.54 m (37.9 ft)
|19.8 m (65 ft)
|Installed power:
|7.3 knots (13.5 km/h; 8.4 mph)
The FPSO Noble Seillean is a dynamically positioned floating oil production, storage and offloading vessel.
The name Seillean means "honeybee" in Gaelic.
The vessel was designated as a single well oil production ship (SWOPS) when constructed for BP by Harland and Wolff in 1990. The vessel was designed for the Cyrus oilfield on Block 16/28 in the UK sector of the North Sea. Later she served on the Donan field. Seillean was sold by BP in 1993 to Reading & Bates.[2] As Brazilian oil company Petrobras took the decision to develop the Roncador field, a four-year charter for Seillean was signed. In 1997-1998, Seillean was upgraded and arrived in Brazil in December 1998.[3]
After acquisition of Reading & Bates by Transocean, the vessel was acquired by Frontier Drilling in 2002.[2] She was moved to Jubarte field.[4] In February 2006, the vessel started to operate in the Petrobras-operated Golfinho Field in the Espirito Santo Basin off Brazil.[5] In 2007, Seillean was moved to Pipa 2 oil field.[6]
In June 2010, FPSO Seillean was contracted for the oil collection and processing at the Macondo Prospect to deal with the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
With the purchase of Frontier Drilling in 2010, FPSO Seillean was acquired by Noble Corporation. She was renamed Noble Seillean and her flag was changed from Panama to Liberia.[1]
FPSO Seallean is a dynamically positioned monohull floating production, storage and offloading vessel. She is classed by Lloyd's Register of Shipping as a 100A1 Oil Processing Tanker. Seallean is equipped with a flare, two cargo-handling cranes, a process plant inside the hull, a completion tower, and crew accommodation. The vessel has a displacement of 79,600 tonnes, the capacity to process up to 20,000 barrels per day (3,200 m3/d), and to store up to 306,000 barrels (48,700 m3) of oil.[3] Ship's length is 249.7 metres (819 ft), breadth is 37 metres (121 ft), and depth is 20.5 metres (67 ft). She could operate at the water depth of 2,000 metres (6,600 ft). The vessel is equipped with a helideck of 29 by 27.5 metres (95 by 90 ft).[7]
Seillean is powered by a hybrid system of three Ruston gas turbine of 3.3 MW each, and three MAN diesel driven generators 4.2 MW each.[7] These are operated such that when fuel gas is available from production operations, the gas turbine generators generate electrical power. When fuel gas is unavailable, the diesel driven generators provide the power, supplemented by the gas turbine driven generators operating on diesel oil.
Seillean has the following production facilities:
- 26,500 barrels per day (4,210 m3/d) processing plant. Maximum oil production is 25,000 barrels per day (4,000 m3/d) and maximum produced water handling capability is 15,000 barrels per day (2,400 m3/d).
- Storage and transport facilities for 310,000 barrels (49,000 m3) of oil.
- A 6-5/8" riser which can connect to a subsea wellhead.
The crude oil is pumped from the process plant to six cargo oil tanks. During the 1998 upgrade, an offtake reel system was installed which allows to ship discharge of cargo to a dynamically positioned shuttle tanker.

Pity Isambard Kingdom Brunel, writes Katherine Demopoulos, whose majestic image is being eroded by the university that took him as its namesake.
Brunel University last week unveiled a life-sized bronze statue of Brunel based on the iconic photo of him standing in front of his steamship, the Great Eastern.
He is airbrushed, however , and appears without his trademark cigar.
Brunel in his former glory
The university says it wasn't attempting to push an anti-smoking message, but was hoping to deter vandals who might have attempted to break off a solid bronze cigar.
The same happened to Harold Wilson in Huddersfield. When a commemorative statue was planned, his wife specifically requested his trademark pipe be removed as she didn't want to see him immortalised as a caricature.
Late last year , however, a school text book was published with the front cover image of Brunel doctored and the cigar removed to avoid influencing pupils. Should they have done? Are children going to be influenced by sepia pictures of long-gone engineers smoking pipes or cigars, or is it only if David Beckham turns Marlboro Man that they notice?
Questions of doctoring history aside, is it the continual reinforcement with any kind of smoking images that normalises the activity? And yes, they do also say that reformed smokers become the most puritanical non-smokers.

General Hugh Shelton, commander of the Haitian operation, and ambassador William Swing held yesterday's briefings as the country's de facto military ruler General Raoul Cedras insisted he would not leave the country when Fr Aristide returns on 15 October.
General Cedras noted that an agreement signed by the US envoy Jimmy Carter and Haiti's military- appointed 'President' Emile Jonassaint did not require the general to leave. It does not even specify that he should step down although Washington insists his resignation is central to the deal.
'Certain military officers of the Haitian Armed Forces are willing to consent to an early and honourable retirement . . . when a general amnesty will be voted into law by the Haitian parliament, or 15 October, whichever is earlier,' last Sunday's rushed agreement said.
President Bill Clinton and his special envoys - Mr Carter, General Colin Powell, and Senator Sam Nunn - have said that according to the agreement, the three leaders of the 1991 coup that overthrew Fr Aristide must step down. These were General Cedras, Brigadier General Philippe Biamby and the police chief, Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Michel Francois.
US military officers were said to be meeting the rarely seen police chief, who initiated the coup, and a US embassy spokesman, Stanley Schrager, said that Washington was still trying to persuade the three men to leave the country.
Mr Schrager said that after a successful military deployment, the US was now attempting to revive Haiti's democratic institutions and in particular to get the pre-coup parliament back in business, with its priority to pass the amnesty bill.
It may be significant that US officials have increasingly been mentioning the name of Evans Paul, 38, the now-underground Mayor of Port-au-Prince and a leader of the National Front for Change and Democracy for which Fr Aristide, a Catholic priest, swept to power in 1990. 'The legitimate Mayor, Evans Paul, is in hiding. We hope to provide the security for Evans Paul to do his job in a short time,' Mr Schrager said yesterday.
Some believe the US sees Mr Paul, a popular former broadcaster, as the ideal candidate to take over from Fr Aristide, who cannot run again in the November 1995 presidential elections. Mr Paul has an untarnished reputation, is intelligent and is seen by many American officials as a preferable leader to assuage those who find Fr Aristide unacceptable. Mr Paul was an ally of Fr Aristide in the run-up to their coalition's 1990 election victory but his own popular support has allowed him to criticise the elected President on occasion. Some Haitians believe Mr Paul had enough military contacts to stop the 1991 coup against Mr Aristide, but he opted not to.
Meanwhile, a top American officer said US forces could now move in to stop beatings or other civil disorder. 'American soldiers can use force proportionate to that used against them . . . and to protect the lives of others,' Colonel John Altenburg said.

Woman who lost leg in February hit-and-run talks to Channel 11
TARENTUM, Pa. - Tammy Roberts lost her leg in a hit-and-run accident in Tarentum last February, but she refuses to feel sorry for herself.
"I cry and I stomp my feet. But then I wipe my tears off and say, 'Knock it off Tammy. Knock it off.' I just know things are going to get better and I'm going to get tougher," Roberts said.
The East Deer woman said she and her boyfriend Pete Gearhart had just had dinner at the Creighton Hotel and were walking home when the unthinkable happened.
Police said a man driving a purple Mustang was speeding along Freeport Road, hit Roberts and pinned her to some stairs of a building.
"I looked down at my leg that night and I seen I lost it already. It was awful," Roberts said.
Gearhart said he and another stranger who witnessed the accident immediately jumped into action.
"I look up and this young man had already had his belt off and around her leg. I looked at him and I said, 'Do you know what you're doing?' He said, 'Yes sir. I'm an ex-Marine," said Gearhart.
"I'm very grateful for that young man. He and Pete are my heroes," Robert said.
At the hospital, Gearhart said he was told by doctors that Roberts' leg would have to be amputated.
"That was the biggest decision I ever made in my life, to sign that paper," said Gearhart.
To make the situation worse, police said the driver who hit Roberts left the scene.
"I remember the first three digits of the license plate: HJ7. I chased him until he made the turn up the other alleyway," Gearhart said.
Investigators said they eventually made an arrest in the case, but the man hasn't shown up for court hearings.
"I don't understand how he can be out there running around. You know, what if he would have hit a little kid?" Roberts said.
After enduring more than a dozen surgeries Roberts said she now just hopes she can put the incident behind her and return to her job at a nursing home.
"I don't know if I'm going to be able to do that anymore. He took that. He took my life away from me," Roberts said.
Family and friends have set up a fund to help Roberts pay for her medical costs. Anyone interested in making donations can do so through Citizen's Bank at the New Kensington Giant Eagle.

Manta sounds like a cloud service optimized for rapidly processing large volumes of unstructured data — so much that relying on DRAM for it all is out of the question. Expect the list of possible applications to multiply as companies kick Manta's tires and resolve their doubts about big-data possibilities on public infrastructure. Issues around speed and cost could fall by the wayside.

I worked on the following case recently:
We can't seem to enroll for certificates from our Windows 2008 OCS Servers, the error we get is "A required certificate is not within its validity period when verifying against the current system clock or the timestamp in the signed file.".
We have no problems requesting certificates from the same template and same CA server from our Windows Server 2003 servers.
The error code being returned by the system was 0x800b0101 – looking that up in winerror.h (publicly available in any of the OS SDK's) it translates to this:
# for hex 0x800b0101 / decimal -2146762495
CERT_E_EXPIRED winerror.h
# A required certificate is not within its validity period
# when verifying against the current system clock or the
# timestamp in the signed file.
# 1 matches found for "0x800B0101"
This *usually* means that one of the CA server certificates in the chain has expired. So, we did the usual PKI troubleshooting bits….exported the certificates in the 3-tier CA server chain and checked the validity on them, all were valid for the next 6 months at least. We then ran certutil -verify -urlfetch <certname.cer> against them to check for revocation errors but everything was fine… all certificates in the chain passed revocation checks and there wasn't really anything wrong that we could see anywhere.
When we looked closer at this, we determined the following:
– The CA server issuing the certificates was 13 minutes ahead of the rest of the domain (the w32time time sync hierarchy was obviously broken within the domain).
– A change has been made to the W2k8 enrollment code so that it aborts the enrollment operation if *any* of the certificates in the chain (including the certificate being issued) is not (yet) valid.
In short; the CA server attempted to issue the certificate to the servers and stamped it to be valid 13 minutes into the future (from the client perspective). W2k3 servers won't mind (the certificate won't be valid for 13 minutes however) but W2k8 servers do care and they will reject the entire operation and log the message "A required certificate is not within its validity period when verifying against the current system clock or the timestamp in the signed file."
Once we resynced the time on the CA server with the rest of the domain, everything started working normally and W2k3 and W2k8 servers alike were able to enroll again.
As it turned out,this wasn't exactly ground-breaking stuff nor did it require Neil Armstrong-type of troubleshooting to resolve once we had identified the cause – but to me it does show the importance of checking the time on the CA and comparing it with the enrollee (in case Win32Time on the machine(s) is not synching with the domain as it should).
Edit: when a CA issues a certifiacte it is by default valid 10 minutes in the past to account for clock skew within the domain, you can increase or decrease this by using the ClockSkewMinutes registry key on the CA, see http://blogs.technet.com/b/pki/archive/2008/06/05/how-effectivedate-thisupdate-nextupdate-and-nextcrlpublish-are-calculated.aspx
