Written exclusively for Salaam by al-Maktabi
The movement of history is unthinkable without migration. Migrations of ideas and of people are as old as civilisation itself. The meeting of concepts across cultures and continents have produced some of humanity's best inventions and ideas. Transport of commodities across borders and boundaries has given humanity everyday items of consumption that are now taken for granted. People who imagine themselves indigenous and native have much earlier origins elsewhere that they cannot, or do not want to, now to remember.
Islamic history is nothing if not the perpetual coming and going of ideas and people - From its very beginning the small body of Muslims in Arabia was familiar with migration. Even before the community was securely established in Madina a group of Muslims had already migrated to Abyssinia (now Ethiopia). Afterwards, of course, the major migration to Madina happened. From this migration our Islamic dating begins, called hijri - from hijra (migration). The Quran, hadith, fiqh and fatawa literature - all address the question of emigration. Thus migration and Islam are closely intertwined.
European migration since the late 15th century took the form and was premised upon conquest and colonisation. The 'discovery' of the Americas by Europeans witnessed some of the most brutal 'clashes of cultures' in which the local inhabitants mostly lost out (indeed in a few cases suffered what amounts to genocide) in the meeting of ideas and peoples. Furthermore, Africans were then forcibly transported by Europeans the Americas.
Colonialism enabled the massive migration of Europeans to the newly acquired territories. The 19th century is the century of the great European migrations. Among the peoples of Great Britain the Irish stand out as immigrating in the largest numbers. By the middle of the century they constituted about 30% of the British population but just over 40% of the overseas territories of Britain, of the Empire. The Irish of course were themselves colonised by the English and had suffered under English domination. Yet they used and benefited from English-led imperial expansion through their settlement in the colonies and reliance on cheap local labour there and vast expanses of land after they were taken form the locals. But the Irish were not the only emigrants. The poor from nearly every European state either left willingly or where sent overseas. This was a quick way of settling 'empty' spaces and solving the problems of European unemployment and poverty.
Migration was never a one way street. The empire struck back after the middle 20th century. In the 19th century the powerful European states thought that migration was one way, always out of Europe (and forcibly out of Africa at the hands of Europeans) never into Europe. But as a slogan on an East End wall in the 1980s put it: 'We are here because you were there.' The post-World War Two economic boom led to the search for cheap labour in Europe. First the poorer southern Europeans were recruited to the colder North. Very soon afterwards, the old colonial sources were tapped: South Asians and Caribbeans were brought to Britain, and East African Asians forced out, and reluctantly (even though they carried British passports) accepted into Britain as well.
The Germans, having no ex-colonial possessions to talk of, found in Turkey a source of cheap labour. The Turks only amount to 2% of the German population today despite persistent fears of over-running the country. (Chancellor Schroeder now wants to bring in bright Indians to help re-start the flagging German computer industry. These engineers would be welcome but not their families Herr Schroeder says!) The French relied on their West and North African ex-colonies. Recently Spain, a late comer to the great European post-War boom have found many North African, especially Moroccans as helpful labour. The North Africans make up a very small percentage of all immigrants in the EU but they have been the objects of repeated abuse and debate as 'a problem'.
The immigrants were all supposed to stay temporarily but to the dismay of the host countries the migrants had minds and demands of their own. Why move on or elsewhere? By the turn of the 20th century, immigrants constitute only 5% of the EU population. So for all the reckless noise, racist abuse and use in political campaigns by conservative groups, immigrants in Britain and Europe make up a surprisingly small percentage of the population. But on all sides of the political spectrum there is agreement on the policy of keeping secure 'Fortress Europe' from 'bogus asylum seekers' (an expression Tony Blair and Jack Straw repeatedly employ) and other wreckers of the dream of a harmonious and prosperous continent free of foreign 'interlopers'.
The forces against immigration are acting against history itself. If migration and mobility are the essence of history then so too is the termination of individual migrations a part of the historical process. The southern Europeans went back home after a short period in the North, and now they are free to move all over the EU. The Irish no longer move elsewhere for Ireland is an economic bright spot. (Interestingly, Ireland is now receiving Asian and Black immigrants, and it would be worth watching how they welcome they are made there.)
Muslims entered history by migrating. But once migrant communities were established they stabilised and integrated with locals, or they returned to where they came from renewed, and reintegrated with their original communities. Similarly, just as emigration is mentioned very often in the classical Islamic literature there are limits to its circulation; it never became a fixed chapter in the books of jurisprudence.

Style: 37392412 Colour:
Classic button jumper in a boiled linen-wool blend with statement ribbing and raised dots.
Free People
not for me
This cardigan looks just like the picture. The only problem I had was that the little balls sewn all around the cardigan made my arms look big. Also when I buttoned the sweater it just looked very padded around my body. I would recommend this if you're wearing a very light tank underneath or my advice would be to order a size up to get a more slouchy look.
Extremely fragile
I absolutely loved this sweater the second I saw it; it was the number one thing on my christmas list. But after trying it on one time in my bedroom, I noticed two of the little balls that make up the pattern had already fallen off. Two wears later, I have lost count of how many have fallen off, and most of the remaining are loose. I don't know if I just got a bad one, but I am scared to wear it now. I would have asked for something different if I had known, especially for this price :(
Hi lescristaux, We're sorry to hear about your sweater! Someone from our team will be in touch. -Free People
Surprised this is not sold out...
This piece is amazing. I love Free People, but I it is not often that they sell pieces with a lot of structure. And I sadly, the flowy boho pieces they peddle do not suit my figure. So when a garment like this comes along, I snatch it up and buy it as soon as I can - and this cardi does not disappoint. It fits nicely and is unique enough to be special, but not so out there that I can't make it a fall/winter staple. The picture accurately shows the color and I would say it fits true to size. The only negative is that it is a little difficult to button and unbutton. Otherwise, if you like this sweater, do yourself a favor and buy it before it sells out!!!

Romney, George
Students of Romney, George studies need not worry about paying for over-priced textbooks anymore – renting textbooks is an option! Romney, George textbooks – for example George Romney in Canada by [Jennifer C. Watson], and George Romney and His Art (1894 ) by [Mrs. Hilda Gamlin] – are often some of the most frequently updated books by Publishing companies. The field of Romney, George is constantly changing, and new editions can come yearly and at a huge cost to students who continually buy new books. So why buy when you can rent cheap textbooks? There are plenty of Romney, George books to rent – BookRenter has of them all!
Used book sales can be a cheap option as well, but often can be more expensive than textbook rentals. However, there are very few return policies with used books, and especially when taking Romney, George classes, buying a used book can be dangerous and costly.

- Embedded Linux has gotten popular; but there are few veterans
==> e.g diagram of cross development environment is a jabberwock for new comers
- Information specific to embedded systems
- Information on general Linux is widely available
==> Info specific to embedded systems is difficult to get
- Information on general Linux is widely available
* Build system
- Used Autotools
- A lot of actual cases
- Implemented in perl/m4/sh
- Generates configure/Makefile
- Autotools itself is not necessary just to compile
- Serveyed other tools too:

Dutch delight as Gunners hit five
Arsenal 5-1 Middlesbrough
Mark Overmars scored a hat trick, with Dennis Bergkamp adding two more as Arsenal turned on the style to completely overrun Boro at Highbury.
Overmars opened the scoring from a Bergkamp pass, before the striker got in on the act with a delightful individual effort before half time.
The same player added his second and his side's third just after the break.
Seven months ago, the Gunners handed Middlesbrough a 6-1 pounding at the Riverside.
Open season
It is a win that will do much to bolster Arsenal's Premiership-topping pretensions.
They put the visitors to the sword from the outset as the Gunners' Dutch duo turned in arguably their best performance of the season.
Then Bergkamp and Overmars combined to force keeper Mark Schwarzer to make three good saves in quick succession.
The first goal came as Bergkamp dispossessed Boro's Robbie Stockdale.
The Dutchman sent a through-ball, which he delivered to Overmars for the opener.
Goal number two came courtesy of a tangle between Bergkamp and Middlesbrough's Juninho.
The Brazilian robbed his Dutch opponent, only to immediately relinquish the ball and see the striker slam it into the back of the net from 22 yards.
Four minutes into the second half, Bergkamp scored his second. Fredrik Ljungberg served him the perfect pass to put Arsenal 3-0 up.
Ginaluca Festa was then penalised for handling in the area and Overmars stepped up to take the spot kick in preference to the penalty-shy pairing of Kanu and Bergkamp.
With 12 minutes to go, Overmars completed his hat-trick following a superb passage of interplay between substitutes Davor Suker and Nelson Vivas.
To add to Boro's woes, Paul Ince, Paul Gascoigne and Brian Deane were all booked before Ricard pulled back a consolation goal.
Arsenal: Seaman, Dixon, Winterburn, Adams, Ljungberg, Bergkamp, Overmars, Parlour, Petit, Grimandi, Kanu. Subs: Vivas, Suker, Manninger, Henry, Upson.
Middlesbrough: Schwarzer, Fleming, Vickers, Festa, Cooper, Gascoigne, Ince, Deane, Ricard, Juninho, Gavin. Subs: Mustoe, Beresford, Campbell, Armstrong, Stockdale.
Referee: N Barry (Scunthorpe

Lion Meat Tacos Cause Uproar
Tacos filled with lion meat are getting all kinds of reaction in Tampa. Many are anxious to try the $3,500 taco while others are outraged that the king of the jungle is reduced to a menu item at the Taco Fusion restaurant. The "Tampa Tribune" reports that the restaurant gets the meat from a Philadelphia supplier who sells farm-raised lion and other exotic meats. The owner tells the paper he's looking forward to serving other unique tacos using bear, zebra, and even iguana.

the research by reading reviews of the stores online. It is also better to be sure about the efficiency of
the delivery process. While there are certain stores that might do well sending flowers locally, they may
not be as good when it comes to shipping flowers to other destinations. Also, it's important to register
with a site that has a fairly standard method of payment processing. It must not be very complex. Most
online stores make use of PayPal, which is the best mode. And, at the end of it all the most important
thing is to ensure that the flowers sent are fresh and not damaged or wilted.
ones then there is no better way than to order them from the Internet. Follow the link to know more

Single Ig IL-1-related receptor (SIGIRR) or TIR8 is a member of Toll-like receptor-interleukin 1 receptor signaling (TLR-IL-1R) receptor superfamily. Although SIGIRR/TIR8 shows the typical conserved motifs that characterize the IL-1R and Toll superfamily, it is structurally and functionally distinct from both. SIGIRR/TIR8 has only one Ig domain in its extracellular portion whereas the IL-1R family contains three Ig folds. An unusually long cytoplasmic domain is reminiscent of the structure of drosophila Toll, yet the SIGIRR peptide sequence is more closely related to IL-1RI. SIGIRR/TIR8 was mainly expressed in mouse and human epithelial tissues such as kidney, lung and gut. Resting and activated T and B lymphocytes and monocytes-macrophages expressed little or no SIGIRR/TIR8, with the exception of the mouse GG2EE macrophage line. Inflammation is enhanced in SIGIRR-deficient mice. SIGIRR negatively modulates immune responses. Inflammation is enhanced in SIGIRR-deficient mice, as shown by their enhanced chemokine induction after IL-1 injection and reduced threshold for lethal endotoxin challenge.

Open wide for burgers at Commercial Drive's Cannibal Café
Rest easy: assuming that Jeffrey Dahmer's first cousin isn't on dish-pit duty, the chances of you becoming the special of the day are pretty much slim to none. And with the menu weighted toward good, old-fashioned hand-ground beef burgers, it's highly unlikely you'll end up sitting there going, "Well, I'd sure like to know what the hell this is I'm chewing. Well I said, 'Holy fuck! It's another human!' "
Savvy students of ancient punk-rock history will totally get the above lyrical references. They come from S.N.F.U.'s "Cannibal Cafe", a classic 1985 thrash-punk ode to a folks-who-eat-other-folks eatery where singer Chi Pig suggests discerning diners "Don't dare order the leper's foot."
Take one step into the Cannibal Café on Commercial Drive, and it's obvious that owner Matt Thompson is a fan not only of the Vancouver-via-Edmonton hardcore legends, but of everything fast, loud, and local. The walls are plastered with literally hundreds of old gig posters from Vancouver's punk-rock past, and not just for S.N.F.U. Take a look around and you'll see handbills advertising everything from an acoustic D.O.A. at the Arts Club to the Scramblers at the Town Pump.
Don't have a clue who half those acts are? Don't worry, it's not like you'll be judged for showing up at the Cannibal Café in something other than a crusty-punk leather jacket and a multicoloured Exploited Mohawk. The overall vibe here is classic burgers-and-fries diner, from the black-and-white-checkered floor to the giant wood counter with stools at the front of the room. It's also friendly and inclusive.
"I wanted to build a cool burger joint, like a diner, but something that had a little more edge to it," Thompson told the Straight in a phone interview. "I had this poster idea for a long time, and I know poster guys in Vancouver, so I was like, 'Do you have old punk, vintage posters?' And he did. There's nothing new in the restaurant—they are all '90s and older."
Thompson, whose other Lotusland ventures include the Five Point on Main Street and the Charlatan on the Drive, also had a clear vision on the food side of things.
"As a restaurant owner over the past 15 or 20 years, every time people would come in they'd always have a burger," he said. "When I was younger, it would piss me off, like, 'Why won't they try something else that we make?' Over the years, I finally started to think, 'Well, why don't we do what we do really well.' My idea was, if I'm going to open up a burger joint, it's got to be the best in the city."
When we stopped by on a recent Saturday, the restaurant was packed with everyone from East Van bohos to young families to screaming hockey fans watching the return of the Canucks on the big-screen TVs.
Consider this a heads up that you aren't getting fine dining at the Cannibal Café. The appetizers were the hit of our visit. We started with seared kimchi albacore tuna, which delivered a satisfying amount of Korean-style zap, offset by a pleasingly understated sesame dressing.
Best in show went to the crispy onion rings. This was partly because they came stacked like miniature whitewall tires in their own impossibly cute mini deep-fryer basket, and partly because the beer-batter coating was so light you could almost convince yourself you weren't doing irreparable damage to your arteries. More, please, even if the accompanying lemon aioli seemed like someone forgot to add the lemons.
Moving on to the mains, the Korean BBQ Burger and the Farmhouse Turkey Burger (both $13.95) looked great enough to make you wonder if you were really in a burger joint on the city's gritty east side. Think vertical and loaded with toppings, each presented like a miniature Leaning Tower of Pisa and topped by a crunchy pickle spear. First-place honours went to the Farmhouse, a cranberry-relish dollop hitting the right blend of tart and sweet, the applewood-smoked bacon making a wonderful case that Vincent Vega knew what he was talking about when he sang the praises
of cured pork belly in Pulp Fiction.
There was nothing really wrong with the slightly overdone Korean BBQ but nothing about it that would make Jeffrey Steingarten do cartwheels on Iron Chef America. I'll take part of the blame for that—due to a tactical error in approaching the burger, the first few bites were nothing but plain beef and bun, things improving only mildly after my discovery that the curiously tame sriracha chili mayonnaise and kalbi barbecue sauce had squirted out the side undetected.
As far as the cocktails go, the Weekend at Bernies (Sailor Jerry's and butterscotch schnapps shaken with fresh lemon and ginger syrup) tasted suspiciously like the LL Cool Gin (gin plus muddled cucumber and lime shaken with ginger syrup) with a splash of what may or may not have been pickle juice. Balancing that disappointment was the strawberry-powered Vanilla Sky (vanilla vodka, Cuervo, and triple sec shaken with fresh lime and strawberries). A thick chocolate shake compensated for the fact that there are no desserts on the menu.
The great thing about the Cannibal Café is that it's not going to break the bank (the bill for three people, including two cocktails, was $85 before tax and tip), even if you happen to be a career punk rocker who's been stuck on welfare since the '80s. Well, that and the fact that you won't have to sit there staring at menu items like "The Ass of the Farmer's Wife", which, as Chi Pig once sagely observed, is typically "very tender, not too juicy—heavy on the cellulite".

Even though the Turkey Burger and Onion Rings look delissio I think I'll have to pass and take a double order of the Dena Sanderson!
Jan 30, 2013 at 3:28pm
The food is delicious. I've had great meals there twice so far. The service is very good and take note, ladies: even as the guys love her, Dena is one of those quality women who treats her female customers as excellently as she does the male customers...unlike some lesser places in this town.

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Gritty! HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA

It is actually pretty offensive to suggest that people on welfare can afford a luxury like a $30+ meal at a burger joint when the fact is welfare doesn't even provide enough money for the most basic nutritious diet.

Can people just stop with the BS notion that Commercial Drive is just so damn cool? It's just a street folks, food and coffee there is just as good as anywhere else, if you cared to look that is.

Clearly the 8 years I have been away from Vancouver are starting to bite: $85 before tax and tip (that's over $100 now) for burgers for three and 2 cocktails says two things. 1. Smokin' gentrification. 2. Throw any official inflations measures into the tidy city dumpster out back.

2011 debut full length from the Folk/Country duo. The Civil Wars consists of John Paul White, hailing from Florence, AL and Joy Williams, originally from Santa Cruz, CA, but now residing in East Nashville. The duo''s chance meeting a year and a half ago fueled an immediate songwriting chemistry and creative synergy. Their second show ever, performed at a sold out Eddie''s Attic, was recorded and released as a free digital album. Of the duo, Reg''s Coffee House host, Scott Register, praises: ''In my 13 years on the radio, few of the artists I''ve championed had as immediate a reaction as The Civil Wars. When I first spun `Poison & Wine'' listeners couldn''t get enough of it and wanted to own it immediately. This band has the `it'' factor that you look for. Don''t miss out.''

The worst riots in a generation have not deterred Australians from travelling to the United Kingdom, according to major airlines and tour companies, but there are fears that London's tourism industry could be severely damaged just a year before the city hosts the Olympic Games.
Britain ranks as one of the most popular destinations for Australian travellers but unlike the London subway bombs in 2005 which killed 52 people, the violent riots, looting and arson across London, Liverpool and Manchester have not tarnished its popularity with Aussie tourists
Travel agents say they have fielded many inquiries from worried people travelling to London in the next week. "We have certainly had people asking whether it's safe to travel but there has been no decline in bookings over the last little while,'' said
"Australians are generally resilient travellers. There's been so many things happen, from ash clouds to the riots in the UK. They understand these things happen.''
Australian Federation of Travel Agents chief executive Jayson Westbury said the riots had not "tarnished the British brand" and the violence was not comparable to the subway bombs six years ago.
"On the day the riots started there was a lot of news on it and a lot of inquiries were made. But the Department of Foreign Affairs has not upgraded travel advice so I don't think it's tarnished the reputation of the UK as a destination.
"When the bombs occurred in the subway . . . we saw a significant drop in inquiry for travel to the UK. But [with the strengthening Australian dollar] it came back strongly.''
"Most people see it for what it is," he said. "It would have to be of a much longer duration and sustained basis for any damage to occur. I don't think that has happened yet. At the moment business is extraordinarily strong and we are not sure why. July is up 22 per cent for international and domestic bookings.''
A surge in people travelling overseas boosted the number of passengers on international flights to a record 25.7 million in 2009-10, up 8.6 per cent on the previous year, official figures indicate.

Cubs two-hit Jays, win FSL North title
The Cubs will take on the Charlotte Stone Crabs in the FSL Championship series beginning Thursday at Jackie Robinson Ballpark.
By Robbie Aaron / Daytona Cubs | September 4, 2013 9:25 PM ET
Dunedin, FL - RHP C.J. Edwards and RHP Ryan Searle combined to two-hit the Dunedin Blue Jays in Wednesday's 4-0 win at Florida Auto Exchange Stadium. Edwards (W, 1-0) worked five no-hit innings while walking one and striking out eight to earn his first win in the Cubs organization. Searle (S, 1) did not surrender the two hits until there was one out in the ninth inning.
"I'm very proud of these guys," Cubs Manager Dave Keller said. "We played great defense, had even better pitching and came up with timely hits."
Edwards struck out the side in order in the first inning before the tarp was pulled due to rain after just 11 minutes of play. The game had previously been delayed 120 minutes to start due to rain.
"It was frustrating seeing the tarp come out," Edwards said, "but luckily it was short enough [of a delay] where I was able to come back out."
Fresh out of the 29 minute delay, 3B Kris Bryant was hit by an RHP Aaron Sanchez fastball to start the second. Sanchez, the top-ranked prospect in the Blue Jays system according to MiLB.com, started the game for the Jays and also survived the delay. With Bryant on second and two outs, 2B Wes Darvill lined a double to left-center to score Bryant and give the Cubs a 1-0 lead.
In the bottom of the frame, Edwards picked up right where he left off and struck out CF Jonathan Jones. After retiring the first 10 batters of the game in order, Edwards walked C Derrick Chung, the lone Blue Jays player to reach base against the Prosperity, SC native over his five innings.
"I had my fastball really working tonight," Edwards said. "I went out there to compete and give my team the chance to win."
Edwards felt motivated by the positive mentality his teammates showed towards him prior to taking the mound in game two.
"They had confidence in me and it made me feel great," Edwards said. "Just coming to a new team, in general, and them having confidence in me right away is something special. It makes me feel welcome in the family."
The Cubs scored the remainder of their runs in the third and fourth innings.
RF Pin-Chieh Chen walked to begin the third. CF Zeke DeVoss then grounded an infield single to the right side and advanced to second on a throwing error by 2B Jon Berti, his second in as many games. After Sanchez struck out back-to-back batters with runners on second and third, Bryant lined a single to left that scored both runners and gave the Cubs a 3-0 lead.
"Our two out hitting was really clutch tonight," Keller said. "We've been coming up with the two-out hits like Darvill's and Bryant's and that really makes a difference when you look back at the game."
In the fourth, Darvill singled to left and scored on a SS Elliot Soto double which was blasted to the wall in right-center field to take the 4-0 lead.
Bryant went 3-for-3 in the game and 5-for-6 in the series with four RBIs, a walk and the hit by pitch.
Searle struck out five in his four shutout innings with a walk and the two ninth inning singles.
The Cubs did not allow an earned run in the series and have 17 shutouts on the season, the most in Daytona Cubs history.
Daytona will take on the Charlotte Stone Crabs in the best-of-five FSL Championship Series. The Cubs will play at Jackie Robinson Ballpark on Thursday, September 5th and Friday 6th, with both games scheduled for 7:05 p.m. The final three games of the series will be played at Charlotte Sports Park. Saturday's game is scheduled for 6:00 p.m., Sunday's game (if necessary) would be played at 5:00 p.m. and Monday's game (if necessary) would be played at 6:30 p.m.
Tickets for Thursday's and Friday's games are available online at daytonacubs.com, by calling (386) 257-3172, and at Jackie Robinson Ballpark. Both night's will feature Thirsty Thursday prices, including $1 small sodas and domestic draft beers.

The Sutton Guardian can exclusively reveal the amount of pupil attacks on teachers has fallen dramatically across the borough.
There were four reported incidents of primary school children assaulting their teachers for the year 2013 to 2014, compared to 34 cases from 2012 to 2013.
From 2011 to 2012 there were 47 recorded cases, which rose from 35 incidents from 2010 to 2011.
The figures obtained through a Freedom of Information request show the amount of attacks from pupils in special schools has also fallen by a huge amount.
For the year 2013 to 2014 there were 19 attacks on teachers, dropping from 37 cases the previous year.
Between 2011 and 2012 there were 70 reported incidents, up from 25 for 2010 to 2011.
In secondary schools the number of attacks has remained at a steady figure, falling somewhere between two and five incidents every year since 2010.
A Sutton Council spokesperson said: "Challenging pupil behaviour is not a regular occurrence but when it does, the council will always support staff as they are the biggest asset for our schools.
"That is why we have provided school-specific, specialised handling training and personal safety advice, which is designed to help deal with incidents before they escalate.
"Our teachers do an excellent job, which has been recognised by Ofsted inspectors, this is part of our commitment to enable them to be the best."
The figures also show the cases of anti-social behaviour and verbal abuse.
See the tables below for full details. Each year represents the number of incidents over a 365-day period.

Roger Gracie of the famed Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Gracie family makes his mixed martial arts (MMA) debut against ex-WWE superstar Ron Waterman at BodogFight's spectacular pay-per-view event at Vancouver's PNE Agrodome on Saturday, December 2. This headline Superfight will stamp Vancouver as an elite MMA destination city alongside Tokyo and Las Vegas.
"Bringing Roger Gracie and his family's tradition to Vancouver marks a new era in sports entertainment," says Bodog.com Entertainment Founder Calvin Ayre, whose company recently announced plans for international expansion into the European and Asian markets. "MMA is one of the world's fastest growing spectator sports and BodogFight is holding its promise to deliver fans incredible matchups."
Roger Gracie is a highly decorated Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practitioner and son of Reyla Gracie, the daughter of Carlos Gracie and Mauricio Motta Gomes. Carlos Gracie was co-founder of the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) discipline and Mauricio Motta Gomes holds a seventh degree BJJ black belt and is one of the sport's foremost authorities. With such pedigree, it's easy to understand why this debut carries such significance in the MMA world. The Gracie fighting heritage, which spans five generations, has fallen from the top ranks of the fighting world because the spotlight has been seized by a succession of American wrestlers and hybridized MMA competitors. However, 24-year-old phenom Roger is the great hope for the Gracie family to reclaim prominence in the sport in the 21st century.
Gracie isn't shy about his chances Saturday, proclaiming in a recently published Bodog Nation article that he will submit Waterman, a 13-year veteran in the sport. "I know my physical conditioning is better than his, so it'll be in the first or second round, maximum," Gracie predicted, sparking a war of words. To read the full article, visit the popular online magazine Bodog Nation.
BodogFight: Season I culminates Saturday with a spectacular fight card featuring the eight Team USA vs. Russia matches, three incredible Superfights headlined by Gracie's MMA debut and two undercard bouts guaranteed to provide heavy-handed stand-up action. For ticket and PPV ordering information go to http://www.bodogfight.com/ppv/.
With the PPV date closing in, fight fans are already anticipating BodogFight: St. Petersburg, scheduled for filming through December in St. Petersburg, Russia, which will be topped off with BodogFight's second live pay-per-view event in March. Biographies of all fighters, exclusive footage, and unedited interviews from the St. Petersburg filming will soon be available at BodogFight's official website, http://www.bodogfight.com , with additions added to "The Latest" section as MMA news happens. Each second season episode will air simultaneously on the BodogFight.com broadband network and in over 43 million homes across the United States on DISH network and Men's Outdoor and Recreation.

Strong Third Quarter Financial Results For McAfee (by Dave DeWalt)
Today, McAfee reported excellent Q3 financial performance with strong results across nearly all areas of our business. We're proud to report:
– Q3 revenue of $523 million, up eight percent year-over-year
– Q3 deferred revenue of $1.4 billion, up eight percent year-over-year
– Year to date operating cash flow of $431 million, up 23 percent year-over-year
– Q3 non-GAAP earnings per share of 67 cents, up 9 percent year over year
In Q3, our corporate business continued its strong growth with revenue of $324 million, a five percent increase year-over-year. McAfee closed 525 deals greater than $100,000 in value – a record, including 33 deals greater than $1 million.
Our consumer business also performed very well, reaching record revenue of $199 million for the third quarter, up 13% year over year. Our OEM relationships continue to pay off and our direct online business had its eleventh consecutive quarter of double digit year-over-year growth.
McAfee's strong performance in Q3 was in conjunction with what I believe is one of the most exciting developments in the company's history. As you know, on August 19 we announced that McAfee has agreed to be acquired by Intel. I'm very excited about the expanded opportunities McAfee will have as part of the Intel family. This transaction fits perfectly with our vision of ubiquitous security and is expected to accelerate innovation at McAfee and ultimately make the digital world a safer place.
The proposed combination of Intel and McAfee will be about helping provide greater protection and efficiency to endpoint, mobile, and embedded devices by bringing software and silicon together to do the heavy lifting. We are not moving away from our core security business of software-based endpoint protection and network security technologies but instead intend to improve security for all customers by providing integrated hardware and software solutions.
There are three critical areas of focus:
1) Mobile and Embedded Device Security: Connected devices such as copiers, smart meters, medical devices and others require optimized protection with a lower memory footprint and low CPU utilization, such as whitelisting.
2) Security Moving Down the Stack: We expect the combination of software and silicon to create the next generation of security technology, following a path similar to the one virtualization technology has taken over the past decade. We will be able to utilize the silicon to enable the security software and provide better performance and higher efficacy.
3) Managing Security: With McAfee, Intel is acquiring ePolicy Orchestrator, the industry's leading security management platform, which gives enterprises the capability to centrally manage security across a myriad of devices using a single console.
In addition, it is important to understand that McAfee will be a standalone, independent subsidiary of Intel and continue to operate without interruption and with autonomy. This means a continued focus on multi-platform and multi-device support. McAfee and Intel have been working together for some time already and we look forward to introducing the first products from our strategic partnership next year.
I am very proud of our accomplishments in Q3 and very excited about our future. We continue to drive our growth with industry leading solutions, a world class workforce, and the strongest partner relationships in our history.
This discussion may contain forward looking statements, which include statements regarding McAfee's preliminary results for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, the anticipated benefits from McAfee's acquisition by Intel, the security market, the demand for and value of McAfee's security solutions, and McAfee's strategy, market leadership and positioning for continued market share gains. These statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in these statements. Additional information concerning these risks and uncertainties can be found in McAfee's most recent periodic reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. McAfee assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

Dorie Hagler: Taos Traditions
Updated 5:07 pm, Friday, September 14, 2012
Dorie Hagler, a self-taught photographer, has always found value in photographing her community. Although watching disasters like the war in Bosnia or 9/11 unfold would force her to question this fascination, she would always turn back toward Taos, where she has lived for the better part of 20 years.
"I have never gone to school for photography. I have never worked with an editor. But I have been able to develop my own style - the positive flip-side of isolation."
Hagler created the Viewfinder column for the Taos News years ago. As she began to research subjects, she realized that there were many traditions that have survived in and around the northern New Mexico community for generations - particularly the land-based traditions of the Hispanics who settled there centuries ago.
Her body of work entitled "Keeping Faith" is a collection of images depicting Spanish customs in Northern New Mexico. "I am not Hispanic and not Catholic so I was able to learn more about my neighbors and my community through photographing their ways. I also feel it is important to document these practices because I am not so sure these traditions will go on forever."
"I often think of the photographers for the Farm Security Administration and how the government paid them to document communities around the United States in those desperate times [of the Depression]. I feel that it is really challenging for people to get their documentary work out there these days.
"The FSA does not exist anymore. Photographers like me who are committed to something they have been photographing for years and maybe are shy and/or not able to promote their own work fall into the shadows."
She points to the recently discovered work of Vivian Maier, a self-taught photographer who worked in Chicago as a nanny, all the while shooting photos that she would hide from the world in a storage locker that was eventually auctioned off due to delinquent payments. The 100,000-plus negatives, most likely taken from 1950s to the 1990s, resurfaced in 2007 at an auction house in Chicago.
"Vivian Maier - she was so interesting!" Hagler says. "The sense that she was isolated, having to take care of other people's children... I've heard people say that she wouldn't have made the cut back then if she was trying to compete for work against the other photographers. I wonder what she would have had to do to get her photographs in front of big curators and if she did, would they have taken notice of her talent?"
Hagler feels that her work, like Maier's, is very quiet, and says she identifies with her.
"She was a street photographer and I am a dirt road photographer," Hagler says, referring to the rural existence she lives with her family in Taos. "I feel like I have been isolated by both choice and by location and often wonder if Vivian Maier would have gone digital if she were still out there shooting."

ATLANTIC CITY - Sergio Martinez kept his WBC middleweight championship with a devastating second-round knockout over Paul Williams at Boardwalk Hall on Saturday night.
Martinez (46-2-2, 25 KOs) uncorked a left hook that thudded against Williams' temple. Williams' face bounced off the canvas and he remained there with a blank stare as referee Earl Morton counted him out at one minute, 10 seconds.
While Morton was counting, Martinez leaped atop the turnbuckle in a neutral corner and thrust both arms skyward as a stunned crowd of 5,502 watched in stunned silence.
Williams (39-2, 27 KOs), who won their first bout by majority decision, remained motionless on the floor for several minutes before getting helped to a stool.
"I just got caught with a good punch," Williams said. "That's all. I knew it was going to be a tough fight."
Martinez, 35, who won the title with a 12-round unanimous decision over Kelly Pavlik last April in the same ring, started aggressively at the opening bell. He attacked Williams at the outset, ripping left and right hooks to Williams' body and jaw.
Williams, a lanky left-hander, landed a few good shots of his own in the first round, but seemed to have a hard time keeping Martinez at bay.
"I started to attack (in the second round) and when I did, we knew he was going to make a mistake because he always makes mistakes," Martinez said through an interpreter. "He left me a lot of room to come in and hit him. So I did. But I was surprised it happened so soon."
There was a bit of controversy before the fight began. According to the official bout sheet, Martinez was supposed to be in the blue corner, which is traditionally reserved for defending champions. He was shifted to the red corner about 10 minutes before the introductions, presumably under orders from Williams' promoter, Dan Goossen. Curiously, all six undercard winners were in the blue corner.
"That's ridiculous," Martinez's promoter, Lou DiBella said while crumping a bout sheet and tossing it on the floor. "Why does my fighter, the champion, have to be in the challengers' corner? It makes absolutely no sense."
The color of the corner didn't matter.
Martinez' powerful left hook took care of that.
"In my heart I thought he was going to win, but that was one of devastating punches I've ever seen," DiBella said. "That punch would have knocked out anyone on Earth. I know what I've got and I've got the best fighter in the world."
Talk of a Martinez-Williams III surfaced immediately.
Before the fight, there was a possibility that the winner may fight Manny Pacquiao or perhaps Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
"I plan to have three or more fights before I retire," Martinez said. "I'd like one of them to be against Pacquiao or Mayweather," Martinez said.
That doesn't seem likely in the wake of Martinez's one-punch victory.
"If you were Manny Pacquiao, would you want to fight Sergio Martinez after that?" DiBella asked. "I didn't think so."
The bout was a rematch of a brutal-yet-exciting, 12-round fight the two waged 11 months ago at Boardwalk Hall's Adrian Phillips Ballroom which ended with Williams earning a controversial majority decision. Both fighters registered knockdowns in the first round and kept throwing and landing powerful hooks and uppercuts for the next 11 rounds.
The crowd paid tribute to them that night with a standing ovation before the final round and remained on their feet while Williams and Martinez exchanged big punches for three more minutes. Judges Lynn Carter (115-113) and Julie Lederson (114-114) scored the fight extremely close. Pierre Benoist (119-110) was roundly criticized for giving Martinez just one round on his scorecard.
"I didn't want the judges to rob me this time," Martinez said after his knockout Saturday.
Martinez was making the first defense of the crown he captured with a 12-round, unanimous decision over Kelly Pavlik at Boardwalk Hall last April 17. Martinez, who was also the WBC junior-middleweight champ at the time, opened cuts above both of Pavlik's eyes that required three dozen stitches to close.
"My life is much different now because of that fight," Martinez said through an interpreter earlier this week. "I have a better life. I used to work very hard, but nobody recognized my talent. Now they do."
Williams' last fight ended with him earning a bizarre victory over Kermit Cintron in Carson, Calif. last May 8. Cintron fell through the ropes in the fourth round, landed on the floor outside the ring, and waited too long to signal officials that he was able to continue. Williams was awarded a four-round technical decision.
Before Saturday's fight could be made, Martinez and his camp had to agree to a catchweight of 158 pounds, two under the normal middleweight limit, to accomodate Williams.
Williams, who had never weighed more than 157 for a fight in the last eight years, had been training for a welterweight fight at 147 before a rematch with Martinez was first suggested. His handlers were concerned that Martinez would have a decisive edge in size and strength, even though Williams put himself through a grueling training camp in Washington, D.C.
"I had a lot of time to prepare for this one and I'm in great shape," Williams said earlier this week. "I'm ready to go big or go home."
Martinez trained in Oxnard, Calif. just a few miles away from where Antonio Margarito was preparing for his Nov. 13 fight against Manny Pacquiao.
Pacquiao dominated Margarito en route to a 12-round, unanimous decision at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Martinez, who said he sometimes ran into Margarito while doing road work in the mountains, watched the fight on TV.
"It was a massacre," said Martinez, who suffered a seventh-round TKO loss to Margarito in 2000. "They should have stopped it six rounds earlier. This one will be different. I'm ready to prove why I'm the middleweight champion of the world."
PUNCHLINES: One of the best fights of the undercard saw Philadelphia welterweight Steve Upsher Chambers (23-1-1, 6 KOs) earn an eight-round, split decision over Mongolia native and Virginia resident Bayan Jargal (15-1-3, 10 KOs). Most fans thought Jargal won.
Boxing returns to Atlantic City on Dec. 4, when Galloway Township welterweight Shamone Alvarez (21-2, 12 KOs) faces Ghana's Ayi Bruce (17-3, 12 KOs) for the vacant IBA title. Wildwood light-heavyweight Chuck Mussachio (16-1-2, 5 KOs), a guidance counselor at Ventnor Elementary School, will face Theo Kruger (10-10-2), of Port Charlotte, Fla., on the undercard.
Millville junior-middleweight Ismael Garcia (2-0), who earned a four-round win over Cory Preston Friday night at Harrah's Resort, will also be on the card.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
The breakfast tacos at Gorditas Aguascalientes include eggs with carne deshebrada, ham, bacon, chorizo and potatoes, and they're all built on handmade flour tortillas. The sensational chilaquiles, which are served on the side of the huevos rancheros, are made with dark chile sauce and white cheese. Don't miss the machacado, a popular northern Mexican breakfast made with eggs and dried beef. Tejanos are also fond of the taco de barbacoa and the menudo. The antojitos here -- sopes, gorditas, huaraches and the rest -- are cooked to order with the fresh corn dough called masa. They come to the table piping hot and lovingly garnished with refried beans, lettuce, sour cream and the filling of your choice. Fresh-squeezed orange juice mixed half and half with fresh carrot juice over ice is the best breakfast beverage. But this taqueria also has smoothies, horchata and other aguas frescas, as well as fresh-brewed coffee. The cheery tiled interior make it a charming morning hangout. A little Spanish goes a long way here.
On Saturday afternoon, Burns Bar BQ is party central in Acres Homes. The crowds line up when the place opens, and they never let up until the ribs are gone. Burns Bar BQ serves their ribs well done under a sweet and subtle glaze of sauce and smoke. They're the best in the city. Patriarch Roy Burns grew up in Midway, Texas. He sold barbecue from a smoker on the side of the road until arthritis slowed him down. Fourteen years ago, he opened this restaurant and brought in some family members to help out. His brisket falls apart on the way to your mouth; it's as soft and wet as pot roast. If you judge it by the standards of white barbecue, then you won't get it. Beef that isn't falling apart simply isn't done enough according to the black East Texas aesthetic. Carolina barbecue is whole-hog, slow-smoked to stringy mush; the black East Texas style does the same thing with beef, which was always cheaper and more plentiful in Texas. Put some of Roy Burns's falling-apart brisket on a bun with barbecue sauce, pickles and onions, and think of it as Texas's answer to a Carolina pulled-pork sandwich. Suddenly, you'll understand.

At Under the Volcano, you won't be burdened with tacky mint syrups or low-rent spirits. Here, they do this Southern drink right. Watch in amazement as your bartender meticulously crushes a heaping handful of mint into your glass with a long prod, splashes on some top-shelf Kentucky bourbon and kisses it with just the right amount of sugar, suga. It's an exquisite spirit, perfect for drinking on the porch on a hot day.
The huge awning outside this classic little joint on the southwest side announces that Cafe Miami is the "King of Black Beans." In this town, that's no mean feat, and the fact is, the restaurant deserves the title. Also, try a basket of fried plantains and some yuca relish bathed in lime and cilantro. They will leave your taste buds both tantalized and titillated. Other favorites include tasty Cuban sandwiches, mind-blowing ropa vieja and steaks slathered in garlic paste. Follow it all up with some smooth-as-velvet flan. This stuff heals bodies faster than a splint ever could.
Can't imagine hot coffee on Saturday morning without hot, gooey, fruit-filled kolaches? Then you owe an homage to the Original Kolache Shoppe. Fifty years ago, the fresh, doughy Czech pastries called kolaches were a treat you found in the homes of Eastern European immigrants and their ancestors, not in bakeries or restaurants. Beginning in 1956, this little East End bakery started putting kolaches on Houston's breakfast table. Baked fresh six days a week, their kolaches are still yeasty and light with a wonderfully fluffy texture, just like in the good old days. They bake an assortment of fruit-filled kolaches as well as the sausage-and-cheese-stuffed "pig in a blanket" variety. For a real eye-opening breakfast, try the ones made with the jalapeno sausage.
Once, there was a convenience store with the wonderfully cryptic name "Christian's Totem" that was famous for its awesome burgers. Unfortunately, owner Steve Christian removed the convenience store shelves, expanded and renamed it Christian's Tailgate Bar & Grill. (A religious sports bar?) But lucky for us, Christian didn't screw up the burger. You get a hand-formed patty of never-been-frozen, freshly ground beef served on a perfectly toasted bun with just the right amount of lettuce and tomato, artfully wrapped in tissue paper and balanced on the edge of a red plastic basket full of fries. Jalapenos are extra and highly recommended.

We just bought a contraption called a "Rechargeable Mosquito-hitting Swatter." It's basically an electrified tennis racket. When you swat a mosquito with it – ZAP! – the disease-ridden pest meets its maker. It's a good invention, though I doubt it would pass muster with the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The swatter is made in China, of course, and the English-language warnings printed on the package are pretty hilarious. To wit:
1. For more safety, do not press the switch or touch the surface of net when swatter is in charge.
2. Please do not finger the medium-layer net.
3. Please shake swatter for cleaning off insect carcasses which remain in net. Be sure don't wash it with water, so as to avoid shortcircuit.
4. The swatter may become without high-voltage or in low-voltage conditions when it absorbe damp in wet weather, the effect will be declined. Then, it can be dried by blowing with electric blower or shining with sunshine. The effect will be recovered soon.
5. Children must instruce under adult when use it.
(Is that last one even legal in the United States?)

Product Information
Smelly collars are not a problem anymore with the Headwater Dog Collar by RuffWear, they are waterproof.
Why We Love It:
The waterproof, stinkproof Headwater Dog Collar is great for dogs that frequent the water or live in wet climates. The coated webbing is flexible, yet waterproof and non-absorbent - solving the wet, stinky collar problem! A reflective pattern on the collar provides visibility in low-light conditions.
Sizing Information:
Medium: 14-20" Neck x 1"
Large: 20-26" Neck x 1"
This is the best collar purchase ever. The medium size fits my 25 pound miniature Schnoodle perfectly. My favorite features are a sturdy leash ring and a separate tag ring. It appears that it will last for many years to come.
This is the best dog collar I have purchased! It is good-looking, light-weight and water resistant. My German Shepherd was getting a rash on her neck from swimming in the pool and her cloth color staying wet. This collar is water resistant and odor free - super easy to use and I like that it has a separate ID tag clasp!

It was a big day for the Cincinnati Reds and the city of Cincinnati Wednesday morning as the city and team officially unveiled the 2015 Major League Baseball All-Star Game Logo which is scheduled to take place at Great American Ballpark next season.
The logo was unveiled and presented by numerous individuals including Reds president and CEO Bob Castellini, MLB executive vice president of business Tim Brosnan, Cincinnati mayor John Cranley and Hamilton County Commission president Chris Monzel.
"In 49 weeks, on Tuesday, July 14, Major League Baseball couldn't be prouder than to bring the Midsummer Classic back to one of the game's most historic cities, Cincinnati," Brosnan said.
The logo itself includes the Cincinnati "C" embedded behind the writing of the All-Star Game. Also included is the Reds mascot, Mr. Redlegs, which is placed near the top of the logo. It will be the fourth time the annual All-Star Game will be held in Cincinnati, the last one being in 1988.
Castellini discussed how important baseball is for the city of Cincinnati and how the sport has been a part of the residents' lives for some time.
"This has been a baseball town for generations," Castellini said. "It's extremely generational here in Cincinnati. Kids leave, go to other cities, take jobs elsewhere. When they call home, the first thing they ask their parents, 'How are the Reds doing?'"
The stadium has continued to be upgraded including cosmetic upgrades, the riverboat deck aboce the batter's eye in center field, and more attractions in the concourse. The city itself has undergone a major facelift since the new ballpark was been built.
Seeing your team play in the SuperBowl is priceless. Watching the SuperBowl live in the stands for $1 per week is beyond priceless. Find out how at TicketScore.com, the future of Championship Tickets.

Figure 1. Structure contour map on the top of the Upper Cretaceous Sussex Sandstone Member of the Cody Shale, and approximate age equivalents, Powder River Basin, Wyoming and Montana. Location of the House Creek field is shown. Areal extent of the Sussex "B" sandstones is delineated by black-colored fields. Shaded fill outlining the basin are outcrops of Lance Formation and Fox Hills Sandstone. The rectangle located next to the 30-miles scale bar defines the area of studied outcrops of the Sussex and Shannon Members, much of the Salt Creek anticline, and the towns of Midwest and Edgerton. Contour interval is 500 ft. Datum is mean sea level. A detailed (176 KB) version is named indexfig.gif.

Figure 3. Map showing Cretaceous epicontinental seaway paleogeography during Campanian time (Late Cretaceous) (modified from Brenner, 1978, reprinted by permission, Gill and Cobban, 1973) (wseaways.gif). The large rectangle is Wyoming, the small one shows location of the Powder River Basin.
Figure 4. Basin morphology during deposition of shelf sandstone beds in the Powder River Basin (Tillman and Martinsen, 1984 reprinted by permission). The House Creek field is located about 10 miles (16 km) east of and approximately parallel to Hartzog Draw field. Oil in the Hartzog Draw and Heldt Draw fields is produced from the Upper Cretaceous Shannon Sandstone.
Figure 5. This north-south-oriented vertical slice of the 3-D porosity model (3dns_img.htm) shows upward and westward (landward) increase in sediment thickness, and progressive westward deposition of later sands in the Sussex "B" sandstone (wedgessx.gif). Blue on the 3-D model is primarily mudstone and sandstones containing less than 8 percent porosity, green is mainly fine- to medium-grained sandstones exhibiting 8 to 12 percent porosity, and yellow contours are mainly medium-grained trough-cross-bedded sandstones that contain greater than 12 percent porosity. Respective average porosity of the "B" sandstone and of reservoir intervals are about 8 percent and 12 percent. Slice width and thickness are about 2.5 mi (4 km) and 50 ft (15 m). Vertical exaggeration is 60x. Yellow dots are well sample locations. Index contour map shows cumulative oil production per well; contour interval is 40,000 barrels.
Figure 6. Isopach map of the Sussex "B" sandstone showing thickness in feet of the interval between bounding disconformities; contour interval is 4 ft (1.2 m). Map scales are meters. The small index contour map is cumulative oil production; contour interval is 40,000 barrels. The thin red line outlines the boundary of the House Creek field. Thin white lines in the southern half of the field are limits of sand ridge 1 and overlying sand ridge 2. The large-scale 64 KB image is named ssxiso.gif .

Chert pebble lag core links the detailed (576 KB) ctlagc.gif core image. The bimodal grain distribution (mix of large and small grains) is visible on both images. Chert pebble thin section shows the large-scale (736 KB) ctlagts.gif photomicrograph image. Labels are Q quartz, CT chert, and C calcite. Quartz grains incorporated from underlying central-ridge facies sandstones commonly "float" in a matrix of (blue stained) ferroan carbonate cement.
Figure 10. This transmitted-light thin-section image is from 8,014 ft (2,443 m) depth in the Empire-Federal "C" oil well. Deformation of glauconite (G) pellets and other soft sediments in trough-cross-bedded sandstones form microscopic and macroscopic permeability baffles to fluid flow. Note also that quartz (Q) grains surrounded by glauconite do not exhibit the later-diagenetic quartz cementation. Mudstone (brown) and glauconite (green) are concentrated along the lower-depositional-energy laminae of trough-cross-bedded sandstones. Late-diagenetic dolomite cement is stained dark blue (D). Medium-blue epoxy fills pore spaces (ellipse with a line through it). Glauconite is 1.4 MB thin section (glauts.gif) image.
Figure 11. Photograph of an outcrop of Sussex Sandstone Member low-energy-ridge-margin (LRM) sandstone; outcrop is located in NW. corner of sec. 7, T. 40 N., R. 78 W., Natrona Co., Wyoming. LRM thickness is about 1 ft (0.5 m). Greater dispersal of glauconite, clays, and mud in lower depositional energy facies decreases porosity and permeability. This thin trough-cross-bedded sandstone, and the bounding burrowed and bioturbated sandstone/mudstone facies, contain mudstone and glauconite laminae and beds that are preferentially eroded, causing greater relief. Blue and purple lines in this small-scale image separate bedding planes. Trough cross-bedded sandstone 1 MB (ssxcrp2.gif) outcrop image.
Figure 12. Core photograph of trough-cross-bedded medium-grained sandstone from 8,169-ft depth in the No. 1 Mandel-Federal well. Depths are in feet. Arrow points up. Siderite (S) clasts are concentrated on the bedding planes. Trough cross-bedded sandstone 512 KB (trs8169.gif) core image.

Arrows within core point up-hole. Wavy-bedded sandstone - 688 KB core (wss8194.gif) image.
Figure 14. Core photograph of a bioturbated very fine grained sandstone from 8,038-ft depth in the No. 1 Empire Federal well. This facies exhibits very low porosity and low permeability and is a reservoir seal. Black arrow points to a mudstone lamina. Gold arrow shows a burrow trace. Core width is 2 inches. Bioturbated siltstone - 800 KB core (bss8038.gif) image.
Figure 15. Graph of core and well-log porosity versus depth for 2,600 Sussex Sandstone Member points. The average 8.8 percent porosity of the Sussex "B" sandstone and of reservoir intervals (13 percent) is also plotted. Scatter in data is considerable.
Figure 16. Volume percent porosity and permeability for 791 core plug samples for 30 wells, Sussex Sandstone Member (Higley, 1994). Greater porosity correlates with permeability increase. Scatter in data is considerable. Dotted green lines are geometric averages for this data of 8.8 percent porosity and 0.62 mD permeability. Dashed red lines represent average porosity and permeability of 13 percent and 15 mD for reservoir intervals of the "B" sandstone. Yellow circles surround average porosity and permeability values for sand-ridge facies determined from core examination of 8 wells. Sandstone facies are: chert-pebble lag, C; central-ridge, R; high-energy ridge-margin, H; low-energy ridge-margin, L; wavy-bedded, W; inter-ridge sandstone, S; and burrowed inter-ridge sandstone and mudstone, b.
Figure 17. Plot showing volume percentages of core porosity and calcite cement for the Sussex "B" sandstone. Low-porosity sandstones associated with greater than 10 percent calcite cement commonly contain no effective porosity. This occurs mainly during the earliest stage of calcite cementation. The region with low porosity and minimal calcite cementation results from early diagenetic compaction. These samples are primarily burrowed and bioturbated sandstone and mudstone.
Figure 18. This outcrop of a Shannon Sandstone Member trough-cross-bedded sandstone is located at Shepperson Ranch, west of Midwest and Edgerton, Wyoming (figure 1). The thin, low-porosity, quartz-cemented beds are outlined in purple in this small-scale view. Porous and permeable intervals are bounded by a blue line. The 1.2 MB image is named snncrp1.gif .
Figure 19. Illustrated are the lensate form of the reservoir, and of individual reservoir sandstones, in this vertical east-west slice showing 3-D distribution of porosity across sand ridge 1 and overlying sand ridge 2. Yellow dots are locations of well-log porosity measurements. Blue and purple areas are primarily non-reservoir intervals. These are basal and landward low-depositional-energy sandstones and mudstones of individual sand ridges (porosity ranges up to 8 percent). Green areas are reservoir-grade porosity of 8 to 12 percent. The breakover point between green and yellow is average porosity of reservoir intervals of about 12 percent; yellow through red (20 percent porosity) are the best-quality reservoir intervals. These are largely the medium-grained trough-cross-bedded sandstones, although even here there is considerable interbedding of low- through high-depositional-energy facies. Width of the reservoir at this slice is about 2 mi (4 km). Vertical exaggeration is 60x. This is 3dewlens.gif, slice 10 of the 3-D distribution of porosity model, as shown in the ewporosv.MOV movie.
Figure 20. East-west oriented vertical slices of porosity (left, percent) and permeability (right, mD). This image (porpermv.gif) shows the highly variable porosity (left) and permeability (right) using core data. Porosity values/colors are reservoir grade (green through red) of 8 through 21 percent, and below-reservoir-grade low-porosity (blue) of less than 8 percent. Permeability ranges are: purple and blue, up to 5 mD; green, 5 to 16 mD; and yellow through red are greater than 16 mD. Average permeability of Sussex "B" reservoir sandstones is 15 mD. The close-spaced 3-D grid essentially treats each well as a separate set of points for the purpose of showing the variation in porosity and permeability. The various diamond shapes and streaks of low through high porosity and permeability illustrate the interbedding of thin beds of reservoir- and non-reservoir-grade sandstone and mudstone. These diagrams include the eastward and upward increases in porosity and permeability, and stacking of sand ridges shown in previous images. This slice is located in the northwestern half of the field. Yellow dots are (left) core and well-log and (right) core sample locations. Slices are 1.8 mi (2.8 km) wide and 50 ft (15 m) high. Vertical exaggeration is 30x. Respective names of the east-west porosity and permeability slide-image files are 3dew_img.htm and 3dvk_img.htm .
Figure 21. A. This (por8vol.gif) 3-D view of 8 to 21 percent porosity exhibits a total volume of 358.6 million cubic meters. This is about 70 percent of the total volume of 525.5 million cubic meters of the Sussex "B" sandstone within the field boundaries. The 64 KB full-size image is named eside10f.gif . B. This (por12vol.gif) 3-D image of 12 to 21 percent porosity has a total volume of 115.9 million cubic meters, which comprises less than 25 percent of the total volume of the "B" sandstone in the field. In comparison, the 13 to 21 percent porosity range is about 62.2 million cubic meters; this is about 12 percent of the field volume. The 64 KB full-size image is named eside10j.gif . Green on the figures is 8 to 12 percent porosity. Yellow through red are 12 to 21 percent porosity. Blue arrow marks the boundary between sand ridge 1 and 2. The thin white line marks the upper disconformity surface of the "B" sandstone, except for the seaward margin of the House Creek field, which is outlined in red. The white arrows and line separate the northwestern and southeastern ridge systems; the gap in reservoir-grade porosity units is apparent. X and Y scales are shown in meters around the base of the block. Maximum thickness of the "B" sandstone is about 60 ft (18 m). North arrow is included. Vertical exaggeration is 80x.

Dissolution of the large feldspar (F) grain, located near the center of the image, results in secondary porosity. The crystal structure and outline of the feldspar grain is still apparent. Primary (depositional) porosity borders this and other grains. Quartz grains are labeled Q. Microporosity results primarily from breakdown of feldspar into kaolinite (K on large-scale view) and other clay minerals; this causes a mottled appearance of the blue epoxy that fills pore spaces.

Figure 32. Contour map of cumulative oil production across the House Creek field area. Field is delineated by the red line. Contour interval is 40,000 barrels of oil. Map scale, in meters, is shown around the margin. Township and range line intersections are also drawn. Greatest production is proximal to field axes; these are also areas of stacked sand ridges; oil is commonly produced from 2 sandstone bodies separated by a permeability barrier. Porosity and permeability generally decrease west of the eastern margins of the field, so increase in production along the field axes is a function of thickest intervals of stacked sandstones with greatest porosity and permeability.
Figure 33. Sussex "B" sandstone isopach showing thickness in feet of the reservoir-grade sandstone interval. The House Creek field is delineated by red lines; the faint white lines outline sand ridge boundaries. Contour interval is 4 ft (1.2 m). Map scales are meters. In some areas, contours are extrapolated outside of data control. Reservoir sandstone intervals were determined by examining well-log traces of about 120 wells, as well as core and petroleum production data; boundaries correspond to a cut-off of about 8.5 percent porosity. This interval includes lower porosity sandstone and mudstone located within and between sand ridges. Index map is cumulative oil production across the field; contour interval is 40,000 barrels of oil (BO) for the range 0 to 400,000 BO. Resiso.gif is the large-scale 64 KB contour map of reservoir intervals.
Figure 34. Plan-view map on the upper disconformity surface of the Sussex "B" sandstone within the House Creek field. Reservoir-grade intervals are shown by green through red (8 to 21 percent porosity); low-porosity non-reservoir intervals are purple through blue (1 to 8 percent porosity). Sand ridges 1 through 4 and field boundaries are delineated by yellow and tan; dashed lines separate townships and ranges. Basal sand ridges are 1 and 3.
Figure 35. Production decline curve for monthly intervals from 1976 through August 1992 in the House Creek field. Oil (BBL), gas (CFG) and gas/oil ratio (GOR) curves are shown. GOR is multiplied by 100,000 to better view increase in through time of gas production relative to oil. Water production is not shown due to small volumes. Cumulative production to January 1976 was 8.73 MMB of oil and 4.06 MMCF of gas (Petroleum Information Corp. production data).
Figure 36. Transmitted-light thin-section photomicrograph of an oil-productive trough-cross-bedded, medium-grained sandstone from the House Creek field. Oil (brown) coats primary and secondary pore spaces. Spotty distribution of oil in the kaolinite (K) results from low permeability and microporosity. Feldspar (F) grain is partially dissolved. Quartz (Q) and chert (CT) grains are labeled. Blue epoxy fills pore spaces (ellipse with a line through it). The full-size photomicrograph is oilstn.gif, 1.4 MB .

follow up and investigate further.
JAMES PETRIE's address at death in 1856 was listed as Backhill of

which states his address at the time of the marriage as Backhill of
Chapelhouses ....
his parents are noted as JAMES PETRIE & CATHERINE ANDERSON
I may be clutching at straws with this one...and it certainly needs further
work and investigation, but a few co-incidences are showing up :
WILLIAM PETRIE's address at death in 1856 was listed as Badentoy, Banchory &
The only other reference I have to the address of Badentoy, is on an 1862

The Snow Queen
Hyeon Bin stars as Tae Woong, a lonely, washed-up boxer who continues to blame himself for the accidental death of his good friend years before -- until he encounters the beautiful but icy Bo Ra (Sung Yu Ri). Now, Tae Woong sets out to win over Bo Ra, but first, he must relinquish the guilt that keeps him closed off to the world. Lee Hyung Min directs this emotional Korean serial drama.
