Diet suggestions after illness?
Long story really short. Tar had his first real sickness this poast week. Throwing up foamy piles and some undigested food gradually became bloody liquid diarrhea. I had a general knowledge of things to do since I work at the shelter, still scared the poop out of me! He has been on Metronidazole, Para Pectilin tabs, I/D food after fasting. Stool checked for parasites (I went ahead and gave a multi parasite treatment) and Giardia (negative for both.) Precipitating factor could have been marrow bones. I had given both Tar and Jocassee marrow bones all their lives with no ill effects, but for some reason last Sunday (they got two new bones) he got sick. It's possible that he ate both his and Jocassee's. They trade off and "fight" each other over the bones when they are new so it's hard to know. I also gave him a dish of a different food on Sunday morning, mixed half and half with his old food.
I have been feeding the 4Health Weight Management mixed with the 4Health Grain Free Whitefish and Potato. Weight management for Jocassee (who needs to lose) and the whitefish mixed 50/50 so they have the good taste and since Tar doesn't really need to lose. I was almost out and wouldnt' be to Tractor Supply for a couple of days, so I bought some Purina One Beyond and mixed with the 4Health mixture to make it stretch out another couple of days. I can't imagine that that had that detrimental effect. Jocassee was unaffected but has a rot gut stomach anyway.
So now he is pooping almost normally again and has no blood in his stool. Stool is formed and can be picked up with nothing left behind but is soft. No vomit for several days now. Has another day of Metro left and has finished the Pectilin tablets.
He acts fine...fully back to himself. He was definitely OFF for a couple of days. Never got dehydrated or anemic but was tired and almost lethargic.
Vet seems to think a pancreatic episode based on the marrow bones and the fact that she saw a lot of undigested fat globules in his stool.
It's almost time to start transitioning back to real food (Good Lord that I/D is expensive!) and I'm almost afraid. I NEVER, EVER want to see that bloody poop again!
I still have the huge barrel of 4Health mix that Jocassee is eating. Here are the specs of the Healthy Weight
4health? Healthy Weight Formula for Adult Dogs, 5 lb. Bag - Tractor Supply Co.
and the whitefish/potato
4health? Grain Free Whitefish & Potato Formula for Adult Dogs, 30 lb. Bag - Tractor Supply Co.
If the incident was a pancreatitis type attack, is the fat content of the food too high? Should I feed the weight management alone? It really has no flavor or smell much and I'm not sure they would even eat it. Or would you suggest an entirely new food? I can't afford to feed the super high dollar foods, so I try to do the best I can for them within my means.
Or should I just start adding some enzymes or supplements and stick with the whitefish/potato alone?
Thanks for your input! He really scared me this week!
Also..does anyone else have any issues with marrow bones? Poor doigs..they love them so much and I'm afraid to give Tar one now.

Amanda Sharkey is an economic sociologist who studies how social and cultural factors impact organizational behaviors and market outcomes. She is particularly interested in questions related to status and reputation in markets, as well as the evolving role of firms in society. Her research has appeared in Administrative Science Quarterly, the American Sociological Review, the American Journal of Sociology, Organization Science and Sociological Methods and Research.
Sharkey's previous work has focused on the role of industry prestige in shaping how investors react to firms that announce earnings restatements. She has also studied how matching processes in labor markets interact with features of organizational hierarchy to influence rates of entrepreneurship. Sharkey is currently researching the role of external ratings systems (e.g., KLD, Fortune's Best Companies) and peer effects in influencing organization-level outcomes, such as the level of pollution emitted.
Sharkey earned a bachelor's of science in journalism, as well as a bachelor's of arts in economics, from Northwestern University in 1999. She completed a master's degree in social research methods from the London School of Economics in 2004. She received her Ph.D. in sociology from Stanford University in 2011.

Smash Bros. Drink Coasters
This one started as a case design for the upcoming Super Smash Bros. for the Wii U, but I felt that drink coasters would be more appropriate. The coasters are based on the "chips" used in the player select screen, and they are stored in a very familiar crate. This set makes for a fun and colorful design that would look at home in your living room or rec room.
Smash Bros. is the very epitome of a what you'd call a "party game", and these coasters reflect that. Also having these coasters in front of corresponding players will help you know who is who in the game (I often hear questions like "Hey, who is Kirby?" when playing).
A lot of people give Nintendo a hard time for their backwards approach to online gaming, but you know what? The best gaming experiences you'll ever have are with your friends and family in the same room. I can't wait to play the new game.

This is the second time at Sawmill and the accomadations were excellent!The only complaint was that the owners of the condo above us had two chioldren who made an excessive amount of noise by jumping off of their furniture on to the floor and running up and down their condo and this continued for long periods of time. We did register a complaint with the office and, we believe, they tried to address the issue but it is difficult to do when the problem is caused by the owners of the condo above us. However, we did enjoy our time and we were out of our condo during much of the daytime. We would like to rent the same condo at Sawmill again but would check that it does not coincide at a time when the owners of the condo above are also there.

Lady Gaga Wears More Fur, Beehives + More Turbans in Sweden
Terry Richardson continues to share photos from Lady Gaga's latest leg of her Born This Way Ball world tour, which further endears him to little monsters. He posted Gaga wearing turbans and more in Finland earlier this week and now, in the latest images from Sweden, Gaga is cloaked in fur, which doesn't look real, and turbans. And pink. Lots and lots of pink. She's also wearing turbans and beehive hairdos.
Why Does Justin Bieber Have a Gun?!
Whoa. An ill-advised pic of Justin Bieber made it to the Twitterverse and has caused a storm of criticism to rain down on the singer. The Biebs posed with girlfriend Selena Gomez and the father of an actor while on the set of her film 'Feed the Dog,' pointing a prop gun at the dad, who is between he and Gomez. Given the recent rash of shootings, namely in Colorado, Wisconsin and New York City this summer, the Biebs posing with a gun is a reaaaaalllllyyy baaaaaaad choice.
Watch Ed Sheeran Get Interviewed By a Cat
British Ginger kid Ed Sheeran was interviewed by a large cat, courtesy of those ever-creative folks at the New Zealand publication Coup de Main. Yes, we said a cat. Sheeran was a good sport during the cat chat, fielding lots of awkward, hilarious and inappropriate questions from the bulky kitty.
Justin Bieber Gets Crown Tattoo
Justin Bieber continues to add to his tattoo collection. After getting a 'Believe' tattoo when his album dropped in June — not to mention getting all sorts of guff from David Letterman about inking his body while a couch guest on the show — and a music symbol in the summer, the Biebs has added a crown on his chest.
Katy Perry Stars in Pun-Driven Popchips Ads
Katy Perry is the face of Popchips, and the 'Wide Awake' singer is also an investor, so she stars in the new fall ad campaign for the light snack. The ads are colorful, with green, blue and red backgrounds, and they are pun-driven. Doesn't Perry look thrilled to be a part of the Popchips team?
Lady Gaga Gets Pelted With … a Britney Spears Cell Phone?!
While Lady Gaga was performing in Finland this week, a little monster threw a cell phone with a photo of Britney Spears on it on stage. We're not sure why a monster would toss their valuable phone on stage, since they are expensive, contain sensitive personal information, are essential to modern communication and not something that Gaga really needs in hand-me-down form. But it did get a response out of Gaga, and a relatively positive one at that.
Taylor Swift Planning 2013 Spring Tour
Taylor Swift may be dropping her new album 'Red' in 2012 (Oct. 22 to be exact), but she plans to hit the road and support the album with a tour in the spring of 2013. Taylor's returning to the road sooner than you'd think!

Gwen Stefani Has the Blues on ELLE U.K. Cover
October is a big month for No Doubt frontwoman Gwen Stefani. She'll turn 43 on Oct. 3 and she'll be hot on the heels of the release of 'Push and Shove,' No Doubt's first album in over a decade. She has the blues on the cover of the October issue of ELLE U.K., but that's just the color motif. Stefani is anything but blue.

Why all the fuss? The jeers and whistles that greeted the Olympic flame on its route through the city, albeit from a minority, explained the tight security. 'We are under military occupation by Spain. Freedom for Catalonia now,' said posters and pamphlets distributed on the Ramblas as the flame was carried past by joggers with a heavy police escort on Friday night.
Two bombs which caused a spectacular fire on Friday at a gas pipeline not far from Barcelona were a further reminder that not everyone is bathing in the Olympic spirit. Yesterday police broke up groups of Spanish and Catalan nationalists to prevent clashes before the Olympic torch was carried through the city.
To the people of this autonomous Spanish principality, Catalonia, these are Els Jocs (Catalan for 'the Games'), not los Juegos, as in Spanish. Nationalist feeling has been running high in the run-up to the Olympiad but yesterday the Catalonians' renowned seny (common sense) appeared to be holding sway.
The friction was obvious at the final pre-Games news conference held by the International Olympic Committee president, Juan Antonio Samaranch. 'What is your name?' a journalist asked him. 'I am the president of the IOC, Mr Samaranch,' said the Olympic chief, struggling to keep his composure. The journalist had been making the point that most native sons of Barcelona, of which Samaranch is one, would use the Catalan version of their Christian names, in his case Joan Antoni.
Did the IOC chief not feel a certain embarrassment that he once served the dictator Franco in suppressing his own Catalan language and culture, asked another newsman. 'I am very proud of my past, you can be sure,' he replied.
On, then, with the show, billed as the 'most complete' Olympic Games in decades, if not in history. No boycotts, few absences, diplomatic compromises to ensure maximum participation. In ancient Greece, they halted city wars while the Games went on. Few expected Bosnia's warring factions to follow that example but the presence of athletes from all of Yugoslavia's former republics, under varying conditions, was hailed as a great victory by Mr Samaranch.
By way of celebration, he announced that he would run for another term when his tenure expires next year. That would take him through the IOC's centenary, in 1994, and the centenary of the modern Games themselves, in Atlanta in 1996. The word behind the scenes was that his re-election was far from certain, with the Mexican IOC member and multi-millionaire Mario Vazquez Rana lobbying enthusiastically for the job.
As the quadrennial show began, everyone who is anyone was in town. The line-up included Nelson Mandela, who said he was 'thrilled' to see South Africa back on the Olympic stage under a newly designed flag. A 22-year-old light-flyweight boxer, Abram Hkewafana Thwala, will be the first South African to compete when he steps into the ring today.
Even before the ceremony started, the Games' first scandal erupted when the German shot-putter, Kalman Konya, was dropped from the team after refusing a random dope test. It was an early, ominous echo of the 1988 Ben Johnson affair, even as Johnson himself was rumoured to have gone underground, possibly in Portugal, for intensive training for a renewed attack on the 100 metres sprint. 'He's fast. He's been holding back. Watch out,' one Canadian sports writer warned. Johnson's coach, John Cannon, was asked by reporters how the other sprinters felt about running a relay with the man who disgraced himself, his country and the Olympic ideal. 'You just have to pass the baton, you don't have to hold hands,' he said.
As in Seoul, the differing styles of Carl Lewis and Ben Johnson are already in evidence. Even before the Games opened, Lewis, billed here as el hijo del viento (the son of the wind) was everywhere - in training, on television, on giant billboards and in the newspapers. Although he did not qualify for the sprint events and is down only for the long jump, the smart money is on an unexpected Lewis sprint appearance, perhaps in the relay.
Tighter drugs checks, inspired by Johnson's ignominy and the collapse of Communism, are likely to be the two most important factors that make these the most 'complete' Olympics for many years. Germany will compete as one nation for the first time since the Second World War. The tennis player Boris Becker, 'roughing it' in the Olympic village, was much sought after by autograph hunters. He arrived late after dental treatment and showed off a shiny gold crown. On recent form, that could be the only gold he has when the Games end on 9 August.
The former Soviet states are in Barcelona. So, too, is Cuba, with President Fidel Castro on hand to watch his team take part in the opening parade. Not all the 172 teams in the parade were equally well received by the crowd. The Iranians stood out as the only team whose national name-plate was carried by a man. They refused to allow a woman to do the job. The team representing their Iraqi neighbours was booed and jeered as it entered the stadium.
The 27-strong Bosnia-Herzegovina team, by contrast, received a rousing welcome. They were flown out of Sarajevo with the help of United Nations troops and an IOC-chartered plane, to join their former Yugoslav compatriots from Croatia and Slovenia. Bosnia's 3,000 metres runner, Mirsada Buric, flew in after training in defiance of Sarajevo snipers. Arriving on Barcelona's flag- and bunting-lined avenues, she and her team mates described their journey as a voyage 'from hell to paradise'. Teams from three other former Yugoslav republics - Serbia, Montenegro and Macedonia - were missing. After diplomatic compromise, all three were barred from the parade but allowed to take part in the Games under the neutral Olympic flag.
Perhaps one of the more striking changes this year is in track fashion. The days of baggy shorts and floppy shirts a la Chariots of Fire are long gone. In are knee-length bodysuits designed for their aerodynamic qualities but likely to distract many television viewers across the world. The bare-midriff Lycra outfits to be worn by the Australian women athletes have been accurately described as 'fairly exciting'.
According to the local media, some of the more conservative Spaniards may be taken aback by the groin-hugging costume worn by the British sprinter Linford Christie. Christie was described by one onlooker as 'carrying all before him' during a training session on Thursday. The runner himself says his suit has 'an exhilarating psychological effect', similar to the body-shaving tradition among swimmers.
Talking of skin-hugging outfits, among those most angered by the Games are Barcelona's transvestites and prostitutes. In an effort to keep the seamier side of the city hidden, the authorities have moved them from their traditional city-centre sites to an isolated industrial estate. They have already held protest marches and are threatening to do so again.

Ashlee Landahl Is Our Good Kid Of The Week
She's 14 years old, attends Eden Junior/Senior High School, and she's this week's Good Kid of the Week. Her mom says Ashlee Landahl is always willing to help out with anything that needs to be done around the house. And while she gets upset when she can't make the whole world get along, she still tries.
She always helps her brothers and sisters, especially her younger sister. Her mom says she deserves more than they can give her. Since she's the middle child among five kids, she often gets the short end of the stick. It's an award her mom says will let her know they appreciate all that she does.
Congratulations to Ashlee Landahl of Eden!

Results 21 to 28 of 28
Thread: Sway bar specs...
Chad, the difference between the mk2 and the aw11 doesn't so much lie in the spring rate split front to rear, it lies in where the weight is located in the car. And that's why I wouldn't recommend loosing the front swaybar just because it worked in your aw11. There is nothing in the front of your aw11, it has a short low nose and all the weight up there is on the same level as the wheels. But the mk2 has a huge hunk of iron, a giant tall inline 6. Its tendency is to roll up and over its front wheels mid corner (regardless of your cars tendency to oversteer or understeer), and nothing fights rolling like an anti-roll bar. Don't think so much about effective rates at the wheel, think about how a sway bar actually works compared to springs. By connecting the two sides and pushing forces in the opposite direction, those huge lateral roll forces (twist in the forward direction) are resisted by the mass of the car on the opposite side, something individual springs can't do.
Removing sways in the rear can most certainly be beneficial on front engine rwd cars as their primary mass is up front and keeping the rear tires level with the pavement is key. But again, the mk2 has a lot of mass to fight against and if you combat it with only springs, you can easily end up with rates that make the car completely unlivable on the street. I haven't checked out your build thread yet, its on my list. You haven't yet mentioned here how streetable you want to keep this car or what motorsport your focus for building this thing to be competitive in is (I assume autox).
I personally have found changes in ride height, and more specifically center of gravity, to be almost more effective on these cars then big changes in spring rate. You mentioned camber brackets, but what are your targets for ride height? One thing so few people realize when messing with older cars like these is that the suspensions in these things were engineered for 1 ride height only, and changing that drastically requires huge modifications well beyond the bolt on nature. Its easy to hide introduced vices from subtle changes in ride height due to the huge benefits of lower CG, but most of us who have changed our ride height have actually compromised the design of our suspension and there is so much to be gained by getting it working the way it was engineered to again. The rear suspension in particular. Once you go lower then an inch and a half, the standard camber bracket fix alone is insufficient for what you have to do to get our IRS working correctly again. This is where I'm spending my time this year, re-engineering all of my pick up points to be correct for my actual ride height. I definitely hit an improvement wall awhile ago, where the last couple rounds of new hard parts effectively made no difference to my track times because I haven't dealt with my geometry problems. Time to correct that sin.Black 86 mk2 Project Car

Thank you for your thoughtful post. You definitely have experience with this chassis. I am for sure going to give the front sway bar a shot as I agree that the weight that lies beyond both, ahead in front and behind in rear, of the axles is of major concern and limited solution.
I realize that the any weight centered beyond or behind the axles (in front and rear, respectively) will exaggerate the documented MK2 chassis weight distribution of 54%/46%. I am also not trying to say that the AW11 and MA61 chassis can be directly compared, only that the philosophy of tuning without the use of sway bars remains consistent.
I also do agree that the most important thing to do would be to get the geometry back in line. Once the ride height is set, it is most important to set the height so that the center of gravity aligns with the roll center and that both points are above-ground. Once this is calculated, then the geometry of the suspension should be corrected, then the car should be corner weighed and matched with driver weight included. This, as you know, is a long and arduous process where most people take shortcuts along the way. I am still working on the AW11 platform, especially now that I am moving up from STS to SSM with a 3SGTE swap. So yes, I am concerned at the weight shifted slightly more behind the rear axle with all the intercooler, piping, and approximately 300 more pounds from the engine swap.
To specifically answer your question, the AW11 will be a dedicated AutoX car with only occasional use at the track (partly because I want to experience the MK1.5 at the track at least once...that has to be fun!) and the MA61 will be more of a track car that can also be used in SM class at AutoX's. I keep my cars running and licensed for road use and do not care if they are necessarily 'comfortable' for street use. Many people's idea of comfort varies, as this is subjective. It personally bugs me to be in a sports car on the street and take a turn only to feel the weight of the body start to sway like a boat...not comfortable to me. This would not be the same idea of comfort when I fire up the Tundra. The spring rates in the AW11 would shock you (maybe pun intended!) but I also enjoy driving it to and from work on occasion.

Yes Chadrick, you
I thought I had a lot of cars, but you really need a barn sized garage! I'm retired now and still feel like I don't have enough time to wrench on my cars. I guess maybe consistent with my autox driving style....slow
Well spring rate wise for the ma6x, my car is used pretty similarly as yours. But for me, I think 500lbs/ft up front is my limit for for this car. I drive it to race venues and car shows, some of which are in WA state. My koni yellow's are super comfortable though, so much better then my old KYBs, but I am already at a point where my car is just barely tolerable on the street for myself for longish drives, and well past that point for my spouse lol. In fact for our planned trip to SIV and JCCS this fall, I think I'm going to have to detune the suspension for it. Drop in some softer front springs and turn my swaybar down (still running the adjustable whiteline).
Also keep in mind, Don tows his car to venues The rates he plays with would break spines on the street lolBlack 86 mk2 Project Car

Heck yea, I tow my Supra just to get to the curb
I unfortunately have to do engine tuning around the neighborhood, so when possible I "detune" the ride by mounting 245/40-17 in front and 295/40-17 in rear. More civilized but still wouldn't take it on a long drive. The thing about crazy hard spring rates is they really require adequate shocks to work well. Most OTS shocks won't handle 800 lb springs very well, and the ride becomes harsh, jittery, bouncy. Good shocks and the ride is more just very firm, not quite harsh, better than a buckboard. Really pretty dramatic.
I would never suggest more than 500 lbs springs in front for a street car, and likely be less. More than that and lots of compromises!
Some people have had luck with rates in the 600 to 650 range on the street when paired with tender springs. Personally, I don't like them though as the total spring length gets too tall to fit above the wheel and then it cuts into your wheel clearance. Plus I prefer a consistent rate, and I like being able to change my springs without removing the struts.Black 86 mk2 Project Car

Amtrak: We Broke Another Ridership Record, 49% Growth Since 2000
For the ninth time in ten years, Amtrak has broken a ridership record. The national rail network carried 31.2 million passengers in the twelve months before September 30, 2012. This news comes smack in the heat of an election season where nationally subsidized services like passenger rail and public television have become campaign issues.
The news: ridership grew by 3.5 percent in 2012, giving Amtrak its highest number of passenger trips since the company began operations in 1971. As the chart above shows, Amtrak ridership has grown steadily--a total of 49 percent since 2000.
Ticket revenue increased 6 percent, accounting for $2 billion of a roughly $4 billion budget. That revenue comes in about $100 million above projections in the 2012 budget (PDF). The government chipped in a $466 million operating subsidy, according to the Federal Railroad Administration. The federal government also allocated an additional $952 million for capital expenses.
Amtrak President and CEO Joe Boardman said in a statement, "ridership will continue to grow because of key investments made by Amtrak and our federal and state partners to improve on-time performance, reliability, capacity and train speeds."
In the speed department: Last month, Amtrak began testing Acela trains to run at a new top speed of 160 miles per hour along several stretches of the Northeast Corridor. And 82 percent of trains were on time in 2012, up a bit from last year, which is about on par with airline industry performance compiled by FlightStat. (PDF) Amtrak has been growing in part by stealing business travelers from airlines on shorter flights.
The newly released numbers show the Northeast Corridor is still the anchor route for Amtrak with more than a third of all riders (11.4 million) traveling between Boston and Washington, D.C. Amtrak won't release new state-by-state and line-by-line numbers until next week, but the 361 miles of track along the Northeast Corridor are likely to continue to bring in more than half of all ticket revenue for Amtrak, as it did last year according to the 2011 annual report. According to projections (see PDF, last page of Appendix), only the NEC and Kansas City - St. Louis lines earn a profit on a per passenger basis. When final numbers are in, we'll find out if this new ridership and ticket revenue peak brings any other lines into break even territory.
Amtrak was established to provide passenger service that private train companies would not, or could not offer profitably.

LSD's have a lot of advantages beyond just making your corner exit faster. When I first learned about them I was told they help corner exit speed, and that's like kind of "meh", I don't care about my lap time, so it's hard to get too excited about that. But they do much more.
They make power oversteer much more predictable and controllable. Your two rear wheels are semi locked together so you know how fast they are spinning and thus how much grip you have back there. With an open diff, if you push the throttle, you might just lose grip in one wheel, then when you apply power you spin that wheel but still have grip on the other wheel. If you want to fool around with drifts or donuts or whatever, an LSD is much more fun. It also is safer in the sense that your car is predictable, it's less random whether you oversteer or not.
Without an LSD you can get a nasty chirping/hopping through tight turns. What happens is one wheel lifts, and you speed it up, then it connects to pavement again and you get a sudden jerk and chirp. Through a tight turn (especially with some elevation change) you can get several lift-fall events so you go jerk-chirping around the corner. Not cool.
There are two main types of diff used in sports cars. One is Quaife/Torsen mechanical type, the other is clutch-pack friction disk type. Some random things I have read about these diffs :
Clutch-type diffs can have variable amounts of "preload" and "lockup" or "dynamic" locking. Usually this is expressed as the % of lockup (eg. 0% = open diff, 100% = solid axle), but sometimes it's expressed as the amount of force through the clutch pack. "preload" is the amount of lockup with no force coming through the drive shaft. If you lift the wheels up and turn one side and see how much the other side turns - this is the "preload". Preload can make the car hard to make tight turns - it eliminates the ability to turn one wheel without turning the other, so street cars often have 0% - 20% preload. The housing of the LSD has this ramp built into it and when force comes through the drive shaft, it pushes a pin against the ramp which forces the clutch plates together, creating more lockup. This is the "dynamic number". You will see LSD's described as 20/40 or something, which means 20% preload and 40% under force. Sometimes this is also described as the "ramp angle" because the angle of that ramp determines how quickly the LSD adds more pressure.
Race cars use LSD's with 40/60 or 50/80 settings. This is lots of lockup. This works for races because you are never actually making super tight turns on race tracks. For Autocross people generally use less preload or a Torsen diff. If you have a high lockup, you can only take tight turns by drifting the rear end. Preload also greatly increases low speed understeer. Most OEM LSD's max out at 20-40% (Porsche Cayman/911 non-GT3 LSD maxes at 30%).
Torsen diffs act like zero-preload , and also don't provide much lockup under braking. Clutch type LSD provide stability under braking - they keep the rear end straight, because a wiggling rear end can only happen if the rear wheels are spinning at different speeds.
Clutch type LSD's wear out and have to be serviced like any other clutch plate. TBD's generally don't need much servicing unless they are beat up hard, roughly like transmission gears. Many OEM LSD's have very low settings so you would want to replace them anyway. It may still be wise to tick the OEM LSD option because it can be easier to fit an aftermarket LSD if you had the OEM one in the transmission (details depend on the car). OEM clutch-type LSD's also often wear very quickly; when buying a used car "with LSD" it is often actually an open diff because the LSD is shot.
Gordon Glasgow LSD tech
Porsche GT3 LSD Buster Thread
Early 911 LSD setup
BTW Lotus doesn't fit LSD's, and the new McLaren has no LSD. If your goal is sharp steering and fast lap times, then an LSD is not a clear win. If your goal is the "driving pleasure" of being in good control of your rear end slip angle, an LSD is more obviously good. See Lotus Evora with no LSD for example.
In non-slip scenarios, LSD's increase understeer by binding the sides of the car to each other. (this is why Lotus prefers not to fit them). In some cases, it may be that ticking the optional LSD box actually makes a car worse. For example this may be the case with the Cayman S, where the LSD added to the standard suspension increases understeer too much ; in contrast, the Cayman R has LSD standard and the suspension was set up for that, which involves more camber and stiffer sways, both of which are anti-understeer moves.
Some commentators have been knocking the MP4-12C for not having an LSD, but those commentators "don't get it". The MP4 is a computer-controlled car, like the Nissan GTR or the Ferrari 599. It does not rely on mechanical bits for power transfer, stability under braking, control of over/under-steer / etc. Traditional mechanical bits like LSD or sway bars or spring rates or whatever just don't apply. You don't need an LSD to keep you straight under braking when the car is doing single-wheel braking based on the difference in steering angle and actual yaw rate. Normal car dynamics is a balance between twitchy vs. safe, or turn-in vs. stability; Lotus and McLaren have bent the rules and avoided this trade-off, however that means less hoon-ability. See for example : Lewis Hamilton fails to do donuts in the MP4 .
It's much easier to kick a drift and countersteer through it correctly if you don't have to think through it rationally. It's almost impossible to catch the countersteer fast enough and with the right angle if you are doing it with your conscious mind going through the steps. What you have to do is get your body to do it for you subconsciously. Fortunately there's an easy way to do that :
It just requires using the old adage "look where you want to drive, and drive where you look".
Step by step :
Start steering into the corner.
Choose a spot out in the distance that is in the direction you want to go after the corner.
Stare at that target point and keep your eyes on it the whole time.
Kick your drift (power-on oversteer, clutch kick, whatever you want to do)
Point your steering at the target point - keep looking at the target point and just keep the wheel centered on it.
You will automatically transition from steering into the corner to countersteer as the tail comes around.
This helps you countersteer quicker, and also helps you to not over-do your countersteer (ala Corvette club), because you aren't thinking "countersteer", you're just thinking "point the wheel where I want to go". The standard mistake to catch it too late, and then over-do it because you are thinking too hard about "countersteer" so then you fish-tail in the opposite direction. You do not have to "countersteer", all you have to do is point the front wheels in the direction you want to go.
(* note : this is not actually true, the correct steering angle is slightly past pointing the wheels where you want to go, but I find if I think this way, then my hands automatically do the right thing).
It really is true that you should "look where you want to drive, and drive where you look" ; it's one of those things they tell you in race school and you're like "yeah yeah duh I know, let me out on the fucking track already", but it doesn't sink in for a while. 99% of the time that I make a mistake driving, I realize after the fact that I wasn't looking where I wanted the car to go. You want to be looking far ahead, not ahead on the ground right near you. When I really fuck up I realize after the fact that I was looking at my steering wheel or my shifter, eg. looking down inside the cabin.
One thing that does help is to put a piece of tape on the top of your steering wheel (if you don't have a mark built in). Again this seems totally unnecessary, you will think "I know where fucking straight ahead is, I don't need a mark", but it does help. What it does is give you a *visual* cue of where straight ahead is, so it connects the eyes to what the hands are doing. You want that connection of visual to hand motion to be subconscious, to avoid the rational mind. Your hands perform better when they are out of conscious control.
I got a lot of bad information when I was shopping for cars. You have to ignore all the mainstream press, Edmunds, Motortrend, all that kind of shit. The professional automative writers are 1. lazy (they don't actually research the cars they write about, or how cars work in general), 2. corrupt (they praise cars so that they can get free testers), and 3. just generally stupid. They don't write about what you actually want to know or what would actually be useful. Furthermore, the idea that you can tell a lot from a test drive is I believe not true. One thing I have to get over is I'm afraid to really thrash cars in the test drive, and without a really hard thrashing you can't tell how they behave at the limit. For example, you'd like to know things like what does the car do if you mash the brake while cornering near the limit of grip? The auto writers won't tell you and you can't find out in a test drive.
A good source of information is web forums. Not your normal "I love my car"/"check out my bling" web forums, but the actual racer's forums, like the SCCA and other groups (spec miata, spec boxster, etc, lots of racer forums out there). There you can read about the things that really matter in a sports car, how it acts on the edge, how much prep it needs to be track-worthy, whether the engines blow up on the track, etc. Even if you don't track and have no intention of tracking, the guys who do tend to be a better class of humans than the normal web forum car people, who care more about "brand history" and rims and who has a faster quarter mile.
The vast majority of modern sports cars are set up for understeer (eg. Porsches, BMW's, etc.). The only ones I know of that aren't set up for understeer are the RX8 and S2000. Of course most of the retarded mainstream press says absolutely nothing about the intentional understeer (which you can fix pretty easily) and they say that the RX8 and S2000 have bad handling because they are "twitchy" or "bad in the rain". That's retarded. Those cars have great handling in the sense that it is predictable - if you go around a corner fast in the rain and jab the brakes, you will likely spin. That's not bad handling, that's a bad driver.
To some extent, "sharpness" or "liveliness" inherently go together with "twitchiness" or "dangerousness". For example cars that give you a nice little bit of oversteer will generally also give you lift-off oversteer, which you probably don't want. The ideal thing would be a car that you could press a button to make it milder and safer for normal use, or twitchy and sharp for fun times. This is sort of impossible with traditional mechanical suspension, you can only get a good compromise. This is why the new crazy cars from Ferrari and McLaren use computers to control the handling. The Ferrari approach is a bit like the "Euro Fighter" - they make a car that is mechanically inherently unstable, and then use computers to keep it under control. The McLaren MP4-12C approach uses crazy new techniques that nobody else is using.

Trimbach Cuvee Frederic Emile Riesling 2005
Riesling from Alsace, France
Winemaker's Notes
The 1990 vintage of this wine was ranked #10 on the Wine Spectator's Top 10 Wines of 1995
Deep golden, vibrant and reflective. Lush ripe white peaches with a hint of beeswax honey. Dense and intense flavors of burnt orange peel, lemon zest, and stone fruits with subtle elements of minerality and honeycomb.
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "The 2005 Riesling Cuvee Frederic Emile follows the lead of the "reserve" bottling in offering palpable extract yet elegance and refinement. Peach, apricot, apricot kernel, lime, and pungent floral notes in the nose lead to a juicy mouthful of citrus and pit fruit with further invigoration added by accents of salt, huckleberry and toasted pumpkin seeds. Blazingly bright in its citricity and palate-staining in its fruit, nut, and mineral intensity, this displays an amazing tiny-berry concentration and utmost clarity when one considers its having been rained on early in October – tribute to an impeccable viticultural regime as well as the breezy location (on the Osterberg) of these vines. It won't be released until 2010, by which time it can be expected to have "shut down" and re-opened, as well as – I hasten to add – to promise further richness and complexity over the following 12-15 years. Chalk dust, sea breeze and lime in the nose of their 2004 Riesling Reserve set the rather austere tone for this densely-concentrated wine. A hint of muskiness signals an exotic aspect that runs right though a minerally-intense finish that really shows the wines ripe but ultra-bright acidity. This (like some of the other 2004s) appears to already be in the process of shutting down a bit, leading me to wonder whether it might hit the market while in a vinous trough. "
International Wine Cellar - "Pale color. Complex nose combines dusty stone, quinine and lime blossom, with a note of white grapefruit emerging with aeration. Began quite tight and citric, but with time in the glass this showed a creamy texture without any loss of inner-palate energy. Almost painfully brisk on the finish. I'd expect a wine like this to go into a shell within the next year or so."
Wine Spectator - "Hints of petrol and smoke on the nose mix with subtle flavors of Gala apple and white peach on the palate. A dry, tangy white, with fine length and a briny finish. Drink now through 2015. 4,000 cases made."

Trimbach Winery
Maison Trimbach began in 1626 when Jean Trimbach settled in Riquewihr and established the family wine trade.
Jean-Frédéric Trimbach, born in 1811, was appointed Gourmet of Hunawihr, a position designed to protect the quality of wine exports. He transferred the Maison Trimbach business to Hunawihr, where he served as mayor for many years.
Jean-Frédéric and his son, Frédéric-Emile continued the family tradition, and Frédéric-Emile traveled extensively to promote the wines. In 1898 he received the Certificate of Highest Quality at the Brussels International Show. With Frédéric-Emile at the helm, Maison Trimbach began bottling its wines in Alsace rather than selling in bulk, providing a new guarantee of quality and authenticity. The contribution of Frédéric-Emile Trimbach was recognized when the family adopted his initials in the firm's official name: Maison F.E. Trimbach.
Today, the tradition of quality continues with the 11th and 12th generations of the Trimbach family. Hubert and his older brother Bernard, along with Bernard's sons, Pierre and Jean, have continued operations and currently produce approximately 80,000 cases of wines annually. Over one-third of their production is exported to the United States. While one of the smallest of the many producers in Alsace, they are nonetheless the largest, most widely recognized Alsace brand in the United States. View all Trimbach Wines
About AlsaceView a map of Alsace wineries France and Germany, nestled between the Voges Mountains and the Rhine River. These landmarks give Alsace an ideal climate for the white grapes that have become the mainstays of the region. Pinot Noir is also grown, with plantings of the grape increasing with consumer demand for red wine.
In the 19th and 20th centuries, Alsace underwent a territorial tug-of-war, bouncing from France to Germany and back to France again at the end of the first World War. While the French led the renaissance of fine wine production in the 20th century, Alsacians have integrated both French and German influences in their wine. Alsacian wines are mostly white, with Riesling, Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer leading the plantings. Pinot Blanc, Muscat and Sylvaner are also popular varietals. The bottles are flute-shaped, like many German wines, and the type of grape is clearly placed on the wine's label – quite unlike the typical French practice of labeling wines by region.
Notable FactsAlsace wines have four noble varieties: Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris and Muscat. These are the only varietals allowed in the 50 Alsacian Grand Cru wines. Pinot Blanc, while not noble, is key in making many of the Cremant d'Alsace (sparkling wines) and is found in many Alsace AC blends. Most of the wines from the region are dry – with steely acidity and round fruit flavors, typically more full bodied (aka, more alcohol) than their German counterparts. There are also sweet wines and, of course, sparkling.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

- RIAs continue to blend active and passive funds in a single portfolioForty percent of RIAs agree that now more than ever they are creating client portfolios using a blend of active investment vehicles and passive ETFs. Less than a quarter of RIAs utilize an exclusively all active management portfolio (24 percent) or an all ETF/passive management portfolio (19 percent).
- Risk management remains a priorityConsistent with the 2011 survey, RIAs cite managing risk as a predominant philosophy in managing client assets (40 percent). The survey showed wealth preservation as the most important issue for clients, followed by mitigating risk.
- Risk management investment strategies have not changedRIAs continue to mitigate risk in client portfolios by creating a blended asset allocation of active investments and passively managed ETFs (62 percent) and applying a more conservative asset allocation (56 percent).
- Alternatives, emerging market equities and large-cap funds drawing more attentionWithin actively managed mutual funds, RIAs are most likely to increase capital over the next 12 months in alternatives (46 percent), emerging market equities (43 percent) and U.S. large-cap funds (40 percent).
HOUSTON, Oct. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Registered Investment Advisers (RIAs) expect to see increased usage of Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) in client portfolios, while aversion to risk remains high, according to results of an Invesco market research study released today. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110131/MM39469LOGO-a ) RIAs surveyed believe ETFs will make up 24 percent of portfolio allocations over the next 12 months and 33 percent over the next three years, representing a 10 percent increase over results reported in Invesco's survey of RIAs in 2011. Against a lingering backdrop of global economic uncertainty, RIAs still see clients remaining vigilant in their aversion to risk as 91 percent believe their clients are more interested in minimizing losses than maximizing gains. "This year's study continues to show how RIAs are embracing the value of ETFs and the many ways they can be implemented in their clients' portfolios," said Bobby Brooks, National Sales Director for Invesco PowerShares. "But even as the equity markets have enjoyed a strong run year-to-date, RIAs are still indicating that risk management is a primary focus and they are looking to a variety of products, including alternative assets, to manage risk." With such issues as portfolio allocation and risk management in mind, Invesco partnered with Cogent Research to conduct its second blinded study to learn what's top of mind for RIAs and their clients given current market conditions. Among other key findings in the Invesco study:

It seemed appropriate on April Fool's Day to confirm that the BigFoot hunter hoaxster was exactly that….a hoaxster.
Rick Dyer spoke with Matt Patrick in February, claiming his Bigfoot carcass was in taxidermy, but he was about ready for his traveling road show of the body he claimed to have found of the mythic creature.
Now Dyer admits online….it was just a lie. And it's not the first time. His first attempt at touring display….the Bigfoot corpse proved to be a rubber suit.
But his road show reportedly took in almost 60-thousand dollars from people who wanted a look-see. Whoopsie. Any surprise that Houston's Morning News tried to reach Dyer, but he's apparently as elusive now as the creature he claims to track.

Contraceptives, that is By Kimberly Straub
She followed her doctor's recommendation for forgetting pills: "Take two the day you remember and two the next day." But Stacey Hunter found it impossible to keep up with her birth control regimen.
She calls it "playing catch up." And like many women who constantly struggle to stay on top of their birth control pills, Hunter was through with the game. Fed up, Hunter's last resort, tubal ligation, was looking more and more enticing. But her doctor told her to try one last option, a new semi-permanent intrauterine device (IUD) called Mirena. And the Lansing mother of two found her troubles solved.
Experts say the best indication of a woman's ability to use contraception and use it correctly is how well the method accommodates her lifestyle. Ten years ago, the predominantly prescribed pill was widely considered the "one-size-fits-all" solution to every woman's contraceptive wants.
"Now we're able to fit contraception to the people," says Dr. Tracy Vera, a Chicago obstetrician-gynecologist.
Today there are a variety of contraceptive options. And now, a woman's accessibility to those options has never been better, with the prospect of an over-the-counter morning-after pill and a new Illinois law requiring insurance providers to cover the cost of contraceptives.
But still, one in four unintended pregnancies occur in women who use contraception, according to statistics from the Alan Guttmacher Institute.
"I always say there's always two numbers quoted when it comes to birth control-actual use and intended use," says Vera. Women actually use their preferred methods of contraception far less than they intend to. The problem, she says, are all the women, such as Hunter, on the wrong contraceptive method for their lifestyle.
"Contraception needs to be tailored to each person's needs," says Vera. "I think the most important thing about contraception is that women be honest about what they can do."
Chicago single mother Shataika Head values variety as one of the best advantages in birth control today. Since the birth of her son five years ago, Head has used four different methods of birth control. "Every woman responds differently," she says. "At least now you have the option to choose."
An array of options Several new brands of hormonal contraceptives are making it easier for women to tailor birth control to their lifestyle. The following products are more than 99 percent effective and significantly reduce human error:
• Ortho Evra: a birth-control patch placed on the skin weekly for three weeks. It can be worn discreetly on the outer arm, chest, back, buttocks or abdomen. Advantages include less nausea, less estrogen and a rapid return to fertility. Disadvantages include possible skin irritation and decreased effectiveness in overweight women.
• NuvaRing: a flexible plastic ring inserted in the vagina by the user once a month. Advantages include less menstrual bleeding and a low and steady dosage of hormones and less nausea. Disadvantages include the possibility of vaginal discharge and headaches.
• Mirena: a T-shaped IUD that prevents pregnancy for five years. It is inserted close to the uterine lining by a health care practitioner. Advantages include less or no menstrual bleeding, a rapid return to fertility and a high success rate for women who are in or approaching menopause, breastfeeding or have histories of breast cancer, endometriosis, heart disease or certain bleeding disorders. Disadvantages include the possibility of vaginal discharge and the fact that it cannot be used by women at risk for sexually transmitted diseases.
• Seasonale: the latest brand of oral contraceptive on the market (approved in October). The product reduces the number of periods a woman has to just four per year. Besides the obvious convenience, experts say it is perfectly safe and in many ways healthier for women.
"It's better not to have all that bleeding," says Dr. Edward Linn, chairman of the department of obstetrics and gynecology at Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge. "There is no scientific reason you need a period. And if you're on the pill, the periods you have are not from your body's own natural cycle."
Women who bleed heavily or suffer from the effects of cramping, bloating or painful migraines right around the time of their period each month will benefit most from this product. The most common complaint is breakthrough bleeding or spotting between periods.
Debra Slater, mom of one in Itasca, has been suppressing her periods through continuous use of oral contraceptives for 12 years on the advice of a doctor. Every month, she starts a new pack of her prescription oral contraceptives at the point when the inactive pills begin, thus preventing a period. She says it has changed her life.
"You don't have any mood swings. I've been able to maintain my weight. There's no cramping. It's just been wonderful," she says.
A timely Plan B Access to the morning-after pill could become as easy as a trip to the drugstore.
In December, an advisory board to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommended that Plan B, the safest emergency contraceptive on the market, become available as an over-the-counter product. Expected to rule at the end of February, the FDA announced it will delay its decision until May. Marketers of the product say the drug meets all the specifications for over-the-counter status.
"Women who use emergency contraceptives have big challenges," says Linn. "Whether it's [that] they can't find a doctor who will write out a prescription without seeing the patient, or more realistic, the women can't call their doctor for a prescription on the weekend, or most likely, the woman doesn't even have a doctor to call."
FDA-approved in 1999, Plan B emergency contraceptive pills-not to be confused with the abortion pill (RU-486) that terminates a pregnancy-is a high-dose oral contraceptive that prevents pregnancy in three ways: It prevents ovulation, or the release of an egg into the uterus; it thickens the cervical mucus so the sperm is less likely to penetrate and, if those two efforts fail, it may thin the lining of the uterine wall so a fertilized egg cannot implant. Since Plan B contains no estrogen, it produces less nausea and vomiting than other emergency contraceptives available by prescription.
Tests show Plan B is 95 percent effective if taken within 24 hours of a contraceptive accident or unprotected intercourse. But effectiveness diminishes after that, says Dr. Carole Ben-Maimon, president and chief operating officer of Barr Research, the company that is acquiring marketing rights to the product.
"Even a woman who uses birth control on a regular basis encounters problems-the condom slips or breaks. ... The importance of Plan B is that it is there as a form of secondary defense," she says. "Timing can mean the difference in preventing an unwanted pregnancy."
According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, making the morning-after pill available without a prescription could prevent half the unintended pregnancies and half the abortions in the United States each year.
Insurance will pay For many women who pay out-of-pocket for contraceptive costs, the best form of contraception for their particular needs is not always an option. The good news is Illinois state law now requires health insurance companies that provide prescription drug coverage to also cover the cost of contraceptives.
"It [the law] will help you make sure you get on the right form of contraception, not just the cheapest," says Judy Appelbaum, vice president and legal director of the National Women's Law Center.
Illinois joins 19 other states in mandating contraceptive coverage. That means "literally tens of thousands of women in the state of Illinois who have historically paid out-of-pocket for those expenses are now going to be covered," according to Tracy Fischman, vice president for public policy at Planned Parenthood Chicago Area.
Religiously affiliated insurance companies and self-insured employers are exempt. But other companies that amend, issue or renew employee health plans after Jan. 1, 2004, must include contraceptive coverage. With the exception of sterilization and abortion procedures, the mandate covers all FDA-approved contraceptive services, drugs and devices.
"We are in need of a federal law that would mandate contraceptive coverage across the board [and hold all businesses accountable]," says Fischman. "But I don't want to understate what a huge stride this is for women living in Illinois."
"This is great news," says Head, about the contraceptive coverage mandate. "A lot has changed. It should be this way though, where everyone has the option to be on some sort of form of contraception."

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Welcome to the site. I will be helping you today.
As I understand your question, the 2012 returns were never e-filed. Not returning the e-filing authorization is the cause.
And, the tax prep place is not cooperating with providing you with a copy of the prepared return.
Payments have been made and processed, but no returns are filed.
If you have copies of the returns, as long as they don't have that annopying "do not copy' or other watermark on them, you should be able to make paper copies and file them.
I would anticipate having to pay late filing penalties to both agencies, but filing paper returns would take care of the rest.
Thanks for asking at Just Answer. Ask any follow up you need. I'm PDtax.

Fluids associated with oil & gas production frequently move across subsurface property lines. For example, injected fracing fluids and disposed saltwater often move beyond the lease on which the particular injection well is situated. Generally, the Texas Supreme Court has held that when fluids are used in support of oil & gas recovery efforts, and those fluids cross a subsurface property line, no actionable trespass occurs. But the issue is not wholly settled. A case currently before the Texas Supreme Court—FPL Farming Ltd. v. Environmental Processing Systems—will hopefully bring more certainty to the issue. The stakes are high, because fluid injection is critical to oil & gas production, and there is frequently little the injector can do to keep the fluids from migrating underneath other properties.
Three key Texas Supreme Court cases govern the issue of subsurface trespass:
- Railroad Commission of Texas v. Manziel (1962). In this water-flooding case, the Court held that when injected fluids cross property lines as part of oil & gas recovery efforts, a trespass does not occur.
- Coastal Oil & Gas Corp. v. Garza Energy Trust (2008). The Court held that the rule of capture usually trumps a claim for trespass when fracing fluids move across subsurface property lines.
- FPL Farming Ltd. v. Environmental Processing Systems (2011). Most recently, the Court declined to decide whether the injection of wastewater, which then migrates across subsurface property lines, constitutes a trespass. But this case is now back before the Court, and it is likely that the Court will rule this year on whether the subsurface disposal of fluids gives rise to a trespass claim.
No trespass when fluids are used to stimulate production
The Texas Supreme Court first addressed subsurface trespass by fluids more than fifty years ago in Railroad Commission v. Manziel, 361 S.W.2d 560 (Tex. 1962). In that case, the Railroad Commission permitted a water-flood operation as part of a secondary recovery effort. The plaintiffs owned the property adjacent to the water-flood injection site and sued to set aside the permit. All parties agreed that the water-flood operation would cause water to move across lease lines and under the plaintiffs' property. Further, plaintiffs argued that the water-flood operation would cause the premature demise of a well on their property, by driving hydrocarbons from their property.
In deciding the case, the Court emphasized that the pressure on the reservoir had dropped significantly, so that the remaining oil was "dead," and that water-flooding was the best means of increasing pressure on the reservoir to allow for additional recovery. Id. at 562. The Court further recognized that once the water-flood began, there was no way to stop fluids from spreading across lease lines. Id. at 564. While recognizing the Railroad Commission had broad authority to issue water-flooding permits to prevent waste and protect correlative rights, the plaintiffs argued that the Commission did not have the authority to sanction a physical trespass of water underneath their own land, so as to result in the premature destruction of their own producing well. Id. at 565.
In reaching its decision, the Court recognized that forcing water underneath the property of an owner who did not want it there, on its face, certainly seemed to be a trespass. But the Court emphasized the important policy considerations behind allowing water-flooding, explaining that such operations "should be encouraged" in order to increase production levels, and that "secondary recovery programs could not and would not be conducted if any adjoining operator could stop the project on the ground of subsurface trespass." Id. at 568. Also, the Court reasoned that the nature of the subsurface and the surface were obviously different, and the rules governing one need not necessarily apply to the other. Id. Ultimately, the court concluded that where the Commission appropriately authorizes a secondary recovery operation, "a trespass does not occur when the injected, secondary recovery fluids move across lease lines . . . ." Id. at 56-69.
Importantly, the Court did not address whether the injecting operator might have tort liability if the injection caused actual damages to the adjoining property. Id. at 566. Instead, the Court addressed only "whether a trespass is committed when secondary recovery waters from an authorized secondary recovery project cross lease lines." Id. at 566-67. Thus, just because a trespass does not occur does not mean that the operator is shielded from other liability for actual damages. But, given the depth at which water-flooding occurs, it is difficult to conceive how a property owner could fashion a claim for any significant actual damages for negligence or some other tort.
The rule of capture trumps trespass law in the context of fracing
More than forty years after the Court's decision in Manziel, it addressed whether hydraulic fracturing constituted a subsurface trespass in Coastal Oil & Gas Corp. v. Garza, 268 S.W.3d 1 (Tex. 2008). Given the decision in Manziel, it would seem that the Court's decision would be rather easy. After all, like water-flooding, fracturing involves injecting subsurface fluids outside of lease boundaries in order to maximize recovery. But instead, the Court returned a somewhat convoluted decision, with a majority, a concurring, and a partially dissenting opinion. Nonetheless, the general rule that emerged from the case is that there is no trespass action for the subsurface movement of fluids during fracing operations.
The plaintiffs in the case were royalty owners. They argued that Coastal had fraced wells on property that bordered theirs, thereby allowing substantial drainage of their hydrocarbons. Among other things, the plaintiffs claimed that the fracing constituted a trespass. At trial, a jury agreed with the plaintiffs on the trespass theory and awarded $1 million damages for lost royalties. Id. at 8.
As the Manziel Court had earlier done, the Coastal Court emphasized the laws of trespass were not absolute and that what might constitute a trespass on the surface might not constitute one deep underground. "Had Coastal caused something like proppants to be deposited on the surface of [plaintiffs' land], it would be liable for trespass, and from the ancient common law maxim that land ownership extends to the sky above and the earth's center below, one might extrapolate that the same rule should apply two miles below the surface. But that maxim . . . has no place in the modern world." Id. at 11 (internal quotation marks omitted).
Ultimately, though, the Court declined to reach the trespass issue. Instead, it turned to the rule of capture and held that rule trumped any trespass claims:
[A]ctionable trespass requires injury, and [plaintiffs'] only claim of injury—that Coastal's fracing operation made it possible for gas to flow from beneath [plaintiffs' land] to the Share 12 wells—is precluded by the rule of capture. That rule gives a mineral rights owner title to the oil and gas produced from a lawful well bottomed on the property, even if the gas flowed to the well from beneath another owner's tract.
Id. at 12-13 (footnotes omitted).
Driving the Court's decision were at least four policy considerations. First, even under the rule of capture, the plaintiffs still had adequate protection without resorting to a trespass claim, either by drilling their own well, suing their lessee for a violation of the implied covenant to protect against drainage, or seeking a pooling arrangement, either by agreement or through the Railroad Commission. Id. at 14. Second, the Court found it preferable to leave the Railroad Commission (rather than the courts) as the authority regulating fracing activities and any associated drainage. Id. at 14-15. Third, the Court found that the judicial system was ill-suited to determine the value of the hydrocarbons drained. Id. a 16. Fourth, there was wide-spread opposition from all corners of the industry against allowing hydraulic fracturing liability for improper drainage. Id. at 16-17. Thus, the Court held that a cause of action for trespass did not exist when the accusation was that the fracing activity had caused drainage. The Court reserved judgment on whether fracing might constitute a trespass in non-drainage cases that resulted in injury to property. Id. at 37.
In his concurring opinion, Justice Willett explained that he would have closed the trespass door entirely, stating that fracing was essential to the Texas economy and the possibility of allowing trespass by fracing "threatens to inflict grave and unmitigable harm" to the state. Id. at 29. For Justice Willett, the analysis in Coastal should follow the Manziel case: "[T]his case should turn not on the absence of injury but on the absence of wrongfulness. Balancing the respective interests as we did in Manziel, this type of subsurface encroachment, like the waterflood in Manziel, simply isn't wrongful and thus isn't a trespass at all, not just a nonactionable trespass." Id. at 30.
The Court leaves open the issue of whether wastewater disposal is a trespass
A few years after its decision in Coastal, the Texas Supreme Court again turned to the issue of subsurface trespass. This time, the Court addressed wastewater disposal. FPL Farming Ltd. v. Environmental Processing Systems, L.C., 351 S.W.3d 306 (Tex. 2011). In this case, a company received a permit from the TCEQ to construct and operate two deep, non-hazardous wastewater injection wells. A neighboring rice farm brought suit claiming that the injection wells were causing a subsurface trespass of wastewater under its land.
At trial, the jury found that a trespass had not occurred. The rice farm appealed, arguing that the jury charge had wrongly placed the burden of proof onto it to show that it had not consented to the trespass, as well as other grounds. Id. at 309. The Beaumont Court of Appeals avoided the jury charge issue and instead focused on whether the plaintiff could assert a trespass claim at all for wastewater disposal that crosses property lines. It held that there could be no liability for trespass damages because the TCEQ authorized and permitted the well. Id. at 309. The Texas Supreme Court then reversed and remanded, holding that simply because the well was permitted did not mean there was not a trespass. Id. at 314. Nonetheless, the Court declined to decide the larger issues: "whether subsurface wastewater migration can constitute a trespass, or whether it did so in this case." Id. at 314-15. Instead, it sent the case back to the intermediate court to address these matters.
On remand, the Beaumont Court of Appeals reexamined the trespass issue and determined that the farming operation [FPL] did have standing to sue for trespass. FPL Farming Ltd. v. Envtl. Processing Sys., 383 S.W.3d 274 (Tex. App.—Beaumont 2012, pet. granted). The intermediate court determined that there was sufficient evidence that the injection operations had created a plume that did affect the briny water under FPL's land, albeit more than a mile beneath the surface. Id. at 282. "We conclude that Texas law recognizes FPL's property interest in the briny water underneath its property . . . [and that] FPL has a cause of action for trespass at common law." Id. at 282. The court then ordered a new trial on the trespass claim because the original jury charge had erroneously placed the burden on FPL to show that it had not consented to the trespass. Id at 284.
Predictably, the wastewater injection company appealed, and now the issue of whether wastewater disposal can constitute a trespass is back before the Supreme Court. Oral arguments in the case were held on January 7, 2014 and it is reasonable to think that the Court will issue a decision this year.
It is, of course, difficult to say how the Court will rule and what the scope of that ruling will be. One important item to recognize about the FPL case is that the disposal well at issue was not associated with the oil & gas industry. As such, it was a Class I well governed by the TCEQ. Had the well been associated with, or incidental to, oil & gas drilling or production, then it would have been a Class II well governed by the Texas Railroad Commission. This could be a distinction that does not make a difference. After all, both types of wells involve injecting potentially hazardous materials at zones beneath fresh groundwater.
On the other hand, the Texas Supreme Court could find that this is an important distinction given how critical it is for oil & gas producers to be able to dispose of produced saltwater and fracing fluids. Thus, the Court could rule that in a general wastewater disposal context, subsurface wastewater that crosses property lines can constitute a trespass. But in the oil & gas context, such movement does not constitute a trespass. This would certainly keep with the decisions in both Manziel and Coastal, in which the Court expressed a strong policy preference that subsurface property rights are not absolute, especially when an exercise of such rights might curtail oil & gas exploration and production.
In Texas, exploration and production companies are generally shielded from subsurface trespass liability when they use fluids to stimulate production. Whether they are also shielded from liability when their disposed fluids cross property lines remains an open question, but one that will hopefully be decided shortly.

Newly-engaged Johnny Depp and Katy Perry join Paul and Ringo at star-studded Beatles tribute28 JANUARY 2014 Hollywood heavyweights including newly-engaged Johnny Depp, Sean Penn and Tom Hanks joined some of the biggest names in music on Monday night at special tribute concert to the Beatles in LA.
Johnny, who attended without his fiancée Amber Herd, was on presenting duty at the event, which marked 50 years since the iconic band appeared on the New York based Ed Sullivan Show.
The TV gig was their first US appearance, and is widely noted as one of the memorable moments of their career and the start of the British invasion of America which happened in the 1960s.
A myriad of music stars took part in the special The Night That Changed America event, which was billed as a Grammy Salute To The Beatles. Among them was Katy Perry, who took to the stage with an acoustic band to perform.
The Firework singer forewent her usual revealing outfits for a demure, floor-length satin dress complete with cape. She was joined at the event by her other half John Mayer, who also did a turn at the gig - a duet with Nicole Kidman's husband Keith Urban.
Other musical performers included Annie Lennox, Alicia Keys, Stevie Wonder and Pharrell Williams - who wore the same hat as he had at the Grammy Awards the previous evening.
Pharrell sang with accompaniment from performers from the Cirque Du Soleil show Love, which is set to Beatles songs.
And the Los Angeles Convention Centre concert wouldn't have been complete without a performance from the two surviving members of the band, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr.
It was the second duet in as many days for the pair, who had played Paul's song Queenie Eye the previous evening at the Grammys. That performance marked the first time they had teamed up in five years.
The concert will air in the US on 9 February - exactly 50 years to the day since the Ed Sullivan show appearance.

Do you prefer forward cant or do you prefer neutral straight drop for your IWB snubbies at the 4 0'clock position. Also, if you have a remora or a custom holster, how deep do you like to carry.
I have a 442/remora that I find I naturally give a good 20 or so degree cant. However, I've been experimenting and it seems that the neutral drop seems to work if I carry very low, so that only the grip is above the belt. I'm thinking of getting a nice leather holster, and I was curious about the different ways people iwb their j frames. Thanks
