If your passport is dog-eared and border officials are running out of places to put stamps, you are not alone.
The surge in Australians heading overseas continued in July, according to new data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
A record 737,000 went overseas in July, an increase of 5300 from June. Travellers were apparently undeterred by the sagging value of the Australian dollar. The July figure was 0.7 per cent higher than June in trend terms.
In July, the Australian dollar was worth, on average, US91.7¢, compared with US94.3¢ in June.
Despite the dollar buying fewer greenbacks, Australians' love for the United States continued to blossom. Outbound visitor numbers grew 2 per cent in the month and were up 12 per cent in the year.
Cheap flights help
A large part of the reason is cheap flights. On Wednesday,
Australians also visited destinations closer to home. New Zealand was the most popular with more than 100,000 Australian visitors. Indonesia took out second place, attracting 77,000 visits from Australia.
Since 2007, Australia has generated more outbound tourism than it has attracted visitors.
The tumbling Aussie dollar should attract more tourists but there are no signs of a rush on the borders just yet.
Short-term arrivals increased by 0.2 per cent in the month to 526,000. Chinese visitor numbers increased again, by 0.9 per cent in the month, to 64,000.
China is now Australia's second-largest source of visitors, behind New Zealand, with 98,600. Visitor numbers rose 17.9 per cent in the year to July.
China's increasing openness and rapidly growing wealth make it a major source of tourists for Australia.
Tourism is worth about $107 billion to the Australian economy. As the economic reliance on the resources sector wanes, the tourism sector is well-placed to pick up the slack
A key concern for the industry is whether it can invest enough to accommodate the potential growth and it is looking for investment from China.
On Wednesday, the opposition said it would, if elected on Saturday, move responsibility for tourism to the Foreign Affairs and Trade portfolio, arguing the sector needs "prominence".
Visa applications made easier for Chinese visitors
It will also streamline visa applications for Chinese visitors.
"For Chinese nationals, we will introduce online lodgement for visitor visas; work toward multiple entry visas to encourage repeat visits; and consider trialling a premium visa processing system," the policy document states.
The policy also pledges to work to increase global aviation liberalisation by seeking access for Australian airlines into foreign markets.
As well as pledging to abolish the carbon tax, the Coalition says it will keep the passenger movement charge to $55 for the whole next term of parliament.
The passenger movement charge rose from $47 to $55 in July 2012, causing controversy. It is roughly equal to 1 per cent of the average spending of a foreign visitor to Australia.
Tourism and Transport Forum boss Ken Morrison said the passenger movement charge should be included in a tax review but welcomed the overall thrust of the policy. "Demand for travel among Asia's burgeoning middle classes continues to grow and we must ensure we have the right policy settings in place to ensure we can capitalise on those opportunities," Mr Morrison said.
Victoria Tourism Industry Council chief executive Dianne Smith said: "We are delighted to see the Coalition commit to supporting one of our state's most important industries, and we look forward to seeing further commitment to the growth of the sector."
Global annual tourism numbers are now more than 1 billion, according to the United Nations World Tourism organisation.
The UNWTO committed to increasing the number of air transport connections as part of its general assembly, held in August.
Separately, the Victorian government announced on Monday that Air India would begin flying direct to Melbourne.
"India is one of Victoria's fastest growing inbound tourism markets with 73,000 Indian visitors travelling to Victoria in the year ending March 2013 – a 17 per cent increase over the previous year," said Tourism Minister
The Australian Financial Review

Here's another reason (in my husband's family):
Parents' acrimonious divorce; mother dies; father remarries and moves across
country. Since the mother's family name had ended when a baby boy died,
this boy was adopted by his mother's twin brother at the urging of the
grandfather. This adoption was done at the age of 13, and the boy consented.
However, the state where this happened in the '60s seals its records, and
had he been younger, this only child may never have known. So, a name lives
on with the DNA of another.
Also, I recall reading some years back in Irish America magazine about
babies from Ireland that were put up for adoption in the US in the early
50s. These were closed adoptions, and there were some heartrending stories
of freckle-faced redheads placed within families where they stood out for
lack of physical resemblance to the rest of the family (and
taunted/shunned). Some of them spent years trying to get to the truth. One
such child was named Doherty, a common one in our group.
I suspect these NPEs happen more frequently than we expect, and I think it
would be fascinating to find out what percentage of our database is men
trying to ascertain their parentage.

Sandy listed some of the ways a man can end up with a different surname than
his biological father.
- adoption
- using the mother's surname when the mother is unmarried
- misattributed paternity
- pregnant by a different man at time of marriage
- adultry during marriage
- father unknown
Here are some other ways a man can have a different surname than his
biological father:
- changing family name to the name of the wife in order to receive an
inheritance or garner social standting
- person without a surname choosing or being assigned one.
- person who has a surname changing it to hide from the law or show
switched clan loyalty.
- name changed in connection with moving between cultures or linguistic
groups, as with immigration officers altering or changing altogether
they could not pronounce at Ellis Island.
As for statistics on NPEs, I remember but cannot give a citation for the
statistic that 2% to 5% of fathers turn out not to be biologically related
to their presumptive children when tissue typing is done in connection with
looking for an organ donor. As for your calculations about the Dal Riata,
you must consider that in the case of most NPEs in this group, the
biological father and the owner of the surname would both have been in the
Dal Riata group.

Maj. Nidal Hasan has asked for a three-month continuance, placing the start date of his trial in jeopardy yet again.
The 42-year-old Army psychiatrist stepped into a little hot water in his first afternoon of running his defense when he asked the judge, Col. Tara Osborn, to delay the trial while he prepares a "defense of others."
What appeared to tick off the judge was the fact that Hasan had explicitly stated in his motion to go pro se that he would not need any further delay. Osborn said she allowed him to go forward acting as his own attorney in part because of what he had put in the motion.
We will find out tomorrow. Osborn placed strict deadlines on all new motions, with them staggered throughout the day. Meanwhile, the government must spend a lot of the afternoon preparing facilities for Hasan.
He has requested access to legal research tools, such as LexisNexis and a telephone. Osborn also ordered that Hasan be provided a computer loaded with all previously filed legal documents in the case and a printer, so he may create his own motions.
But what was on the mind of every reporter leaving the courtroom today, what the heck is a "defense of others."
The above mentioned LexisNexis provides some insight here. It looks like Hasan may justify the killing of 13 people for which he is accused by claiming he was protecting someone else. It lends to the likelihood that it will have something to do with his alleged religious extremism. Quite a development.

Today was awful! Absolutely Horrible!
School was crap & every teacher ticked me off. Even Anna. & I wanted to beat John to a pulp at lunch. GR! Stay out of my way unless you're a bunny, Ginger, Jamie, or Teal! -Gnashes non-existant sharp teeth- Rawr!!!!!
& To make matters worse today I had my health poster due, which I completely forgot about, & tomorrow I have my Presidents paper due in U.S. History & I haven't even started that! -Sob- Why does every teacher feel the need to assign the projects & actually make us do work when our brains are dying at the end of the year? -Sob- Then after school me & my mom went & emptied some boxes at the new house. I organized the spice cabinet & put all the spices on the bottom two circle shelves & medicine on the top circle shelf. But I only started doing work after much anger was exchanged between me & my mom. I was sitting on the mattress reading when she comes in & tells me to get some paper for my health poster. So I got up & went to get some paper. She gave me construction paper. Not poster paper, freaking construction paper. So that made me mad. Then as if to piss me off more she told me to draw & paint & be crafty with my poster since our printer is broken. Oho. Absolutely not. I Hate being crafty. So I then got Really mad & dropped the paper & went back to my room. Then later she comes in & takes the book from underneath my arms, throws the bookmark in, & yells at me to work on my poster. I said no & she got mad & we started yelling at each other. Then she took my book & Hid it from me! That's when I got bored & angrily started working, in the kitchen unpacking boxes. I would rather dig my own grave the do a terrible job on a poster using paints & crap. So I emptied a lot of the boxes in the kitchen & organized the baking cupboard too ^^ I made a lot a progress & eventually stopped being so mad.
Then I went outside to the dock & visited the birdie nest again. The moomy bird, of course, flew away but as always I got a look at the nest. But instead of there being two eggs in there as usual there was one egg &….. a baby birdie! ^^ One of them had hatched! Oh I was so happy! I had noticed some very minor cracks in one of the eggs a few days ago & I had had been right about one hatching soon! ^^ So now I just have to wait for the other one to hatch. Which it's in the smae condition as the first a=egg was a few days ago. Yee! I would've taken a picture of it but I didn't have my camera with me -.- I'm gonna' start taking that thing everywhere with me.
So my day ended in happiness & hopefully tomorrow is a better day. Bye!

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
the staff at arrival was very helpful (a young gentleman and later at dinner time also a young lady)
attentrive staff & excellent food The road noise is intrusive & the matress awful!!
In general service was slow at times, although very good once you did get served.
There was a shortgage of staff and the the overflow car park that is used by guests has been badly pitted and in need of repair for the last three visits, and its even in a worse state now, and we consider it to be dangerous to drive over. Our room (No 2) had a cracked basin and the soap dish over the bath had been broken in two and badly repaired with Mastik, and not cleaned up. Very dangerous. Also the breakfasts were not up to their usual standard, i.e. greasy.
The long wait for food in the evening although it was very good when it eventually arrived, not such a long wait for breakfast which had an excellent selection.
Comfortable enviroment
As always the location and friendliness of the Dartbridge Inn made our stay a pleasure. The food's good too! Occsionally service a bit slow-but we weren't in a hurry!
Food Creaky floorboards
Staff Friendly, Room very clean, plenty of hot water at all times. Table reservation for evening meal was 'find a table with scruffy hand written reserved on it'. Faulty lock on 'late night' entry door for guests.
Walking on Dartmoor Could not provide many of the items on the menu at dinner
Clean, friendly staff, lovely setting. Car park a bit awkward.
very friendly and responsive staff with high customer service attributes . Also an excellent breakfast service with freshly cooked items served at the table . Much better than the serve yourself arrangements where items are left under a hot lamp system The restaurant for evening dinner is a bit overpriced. £6.45 for a starter which turned out to consist of a 4" sardine on a miniscule bed of apple slices and celeriac is pushing it a bit.
Very welcoming staff. Food excellent. Room comfortable but not as luxurious as we expected. Hotel situated on main square, great in daytime for shopping etc. But noisy at night
Bedroom fitted out with attention to detail and design- bed was very comfortable. We liked the toiletries and lovely perfume left for guest use in bathroom - a simple nice touch. Food , particularly breakfast was excellent and hotel had a relaxed friendly atmosphere Hotel undergoing some refurbishment to outside so didn't look attractive when we first arrived
The staff were exceptional nothing was too much trouble always has a smile and were very friendly but professional. excellent food and selection of real ales. None
Very friendly staff and highly efficient service. The staff / customer experience was on at least a par with multi-starred hotels. The building is quite old, and some thought should perhaps be given to improving the soundproofing of the rooms. One was woken several times during the night by sharp noises from adjoining rooms, which was somewhat irritating, and detracted from what was otherwise a flawless experience.
Very friendly and helpful staff - good food in all bars/restaurant plus breakfast Only a couple of late evenings. Some furniture was moved past our room into a storeroom next door which was rather noisy especially since one of the evenings it was past 10.30pm,
Very friendly staff, nice atmosphere in the hotel Window opens onto rather noisy road
Everything excellent. Only the booking process that wasn't very easy!
We were recommended the hotel by my uncle and aunt who live in Totnes who we were wishing to visit but do not have sufficient space to accommodate us. They described it as comortable and convenient for their location in Bridge Terrace. We found that the hotel was as described and that the staff were friendly and helpful and the facilities very good. It was good being able to sit and read the papers in the upstairs sitting area and generally felt friendly and relaxed.

Ask a Mechanic Online and Get Answers to Your Car Questions
Welcome to JA.
You said you checked the ac drains but you will need to pull the little nipples off of the ac drain ends under the car so they will be freed up. Also open the sunroof all the way and located the drains in the front corners of the sunroof pan. You will see little holes in the corners. Fill up a small cup of water and pour it into the front corners so it will drains into the holes. Look behind the front tires because that is where the water drains out at. If you see if flowing good then it is ok if not then you will need to try to blow the drains out with compressed air. Also when water tested if have found that sometimes just spraying it isnt enough. You may have to let the hose run over the car for anywhere up to 30 minutes to find the leak. So just somehow prop it up over the top of the car and let it run. Most you may also have a drain hose leaking where it fits on the drain tube on the sunroof pan which will require pulling down the front of the headliner to access and securing a zip tie on the rubber hose to tighten from leaking.

A CBS News report out of Oklahoma is tearing the heart out of two continents: police are saying a group of teenagers were bored, wanted someone to die, and thus randomly chose a jogging Australian baseball player to shoot dead in their local neighborhood.
The shooting happened last week, and the boys were charged today with first-degree murder:
2 Oklahoma teens charged in fatal shooting of Australia baseball player, 3rd named as accessory - @AP
— Breaking News (@BreakingNews) August 20, 2013
Police Chief Danny Ford, speaking on Monday, said that Christopher Lane was visiting Duncan, Oklahoma (population 24,000) to spend time with his girlfriend and her family. Lane was a college student attending East Central University on a baseball scholarship. Ford said the oldest suspect told police "they saw Christopher go by, and one of them said: 'There's our target... [the suspect claimed] 'we were bored and didn't have anything to do, so we decided to kill somebody...' [The boys killed Lane for] the fun of it."
Lane's father choked back tears while acknowledging that "There's not gonna be any good to come out of this cause it was just so senseless," and that trying to understand why this happened would be a "a short way to insanity." Lane's girlfriend felt the heartbreaking part was "that it was such a random choice those guys made that drastically altered so many lives in the process."
In a statement from East Central University, Lane's baseball coach Dino Rosato said that "Chris was an extremely well-respected teammate. ... He set a great example for all of his teammates, but more importantly for the younger players. He was a mature student-athlete who his teammates could look to for advice and support... He was an absolute joy to coach."
A mother of one of the accused, Jennifer Luna, said in the report that the boys are her son Chancy Luna, James Edwards, and Michael Jones, and all three are in a "wannabe gang" together. Twitter's reactions have been appropriate, much of which is dedicated to spreading the word of the Christopher Lane Fund:
They should be tried as adults. Worst Thing I have heard, did it cause they were "bored". http://t.co/TjdGvXGTvu

MIDDLEBURY, VT - Junior sharpshooter Andrew Schiel (Wayne, PA) splashed five three-pointers in six attempts en route to a game-high 22 points as the No. 1 ranked Amherst College men's basketball team improved to 15-0 (3-0 NESCAC), equaling its longest-ever winning streak with a 91-67 win at NESCAC rival Middlebury College (9-5/0-2) on Friday night. The win sets up a key NESCAC matchup at third-ranked Williams College on Saturday, with first place in the conference standings at stake. Amherst downed Williams 78-62 in a non-league tilt earlier this season.
The victory was no "gimme" for Amherst - the Jeffs had fallen to Middlebury twice during the regular season in recent years (both 2000-01 and 2001-02). But Amherst broke open a tight first half with an 11-4 run over the final 3:46 to take a 10-point lead (41-31) at the break. Schiel keyed the barrage with a four-point play, drilling a trifecta from the left wing and getting hacked in the act by Middlebury senior Nate Anderson (Hinesburg, VT). Middlebury helped Amherst's cause by shooting just 1-for-10 from three-point land and just 33.3% (11-for-33) overall in the first half.
Middlebury managed to cut the lead to just three points (56-53) with 11:50 left in regulation on a pair of charity tosses by junior Mike Salek (Fairfield, CT), but the Jeffs responded with renewed defensive intensity, holding the Panthers scoreless over a 3:30 stretch and ballooning the lead back to 17 points with an 11-0 flurry. Amherst's reserves took over from there as rookie forward Dan O'Shea (Lawrence, MA) capped the 24-point win with a game-punctuating layup inside the final minute.
The Jeffs placed three players in double figures with senior guard Adam Harper (Washington, DC) and sophomore slasher John Bedford (Ridgewood, NJ) joining Schiel with 19 and 13 points, respectively. Harper's offense came on 6-for-9 shooting and a 4-for-4 showing from the free throw line. Bedford also dished out a game- and career-high seven assists. Senior forward Tim Jones (Richmond, VA) paced Amherst on the boards with a game-high seven caroms.
Senior guard David Coratti (Pawling, NY) led Middlebury with 14 points on 6-for-7 shooting.
Saturday's Amherst-Williams showdown is set for 4 p.m., following a women's matchup between the Ephs and Lord Jeffs. Williams has won 48 in a row at home, but Amherst has won 10 of the last 14 meetings overall. The Jeffs were the last visiting team to win at Williams, downing the Ephs 73-64 on Jan. 13, 2001, behind senior Brian Daoust's game-high 27 points.

Josie DeCarlo, R.I.P.
Josie DeCarlo, widow of comic book legend Dan DeCarlo and the model for the character Josie, has passed away in her sleep. I don't have her age but her husband Dan was born in 1919. Dan passed away in 2001 and Josie continued to promote his name and work, and she attended comic book conventions as long as her health permitted.
Josie Dumont was a French citizen when she met Dan via a blind date in Belgium shortly after the Battle of the Bulge. Photos of her at the time suggest her as an obvious model for all the beautiful women that Dan was known for drawing throughout his career. She was a direct inspiration for perhaps his most famous creation, Josie. Josie (the woman) fashioned a pussycat costume for a shipboard ball on a Caribbean cruise they once took. Dan's sketches of her in that outfit figured into the later life…and her first name provided the name of the star character when Dan shopped around for a proposed newspaper strip. When no syndicate jumped at what he offered, he offered Josie (the strip) to Richard Goldwater at the Archie company where he was already working. Goldwater accepted the idea and the comic was launched, later turning into Josie and the Pussycats, a rock group dressed much like his spouse had dressed on that cruise.
Dan was the star Archie artist for over 40 years but in 2000, he got into a legal altercation with the Archie company over ownership of Josie and took legal action. Josie stood beside him when he was fired by the firm. He died the following year.
She was a lovely lady and every one of Dan's many friends and fans loved her just as much as they loved Dan. Funeral services will be held Monday is Scarsdale, New York. E-mail me if you need information.

"I always knew that schmattes were my destiny," says Brandon Svarc, BCom'04, founder of Naked & Famous, a Montreal-based denim brand that has acquired a cult following since its launch in 2008. "My grandparents worked hard to survive in Europe and then started a business here that my dad continued. It would almost be like slapping them in the face to not keep it alive."
Still, Svarc didn't join the family business right away. After graduation, he spent about a year doing marketing for a friend who made watch winders for high-end timepieces.
"The trade show experience – how to make a booth look nice, how to attract people's attention – was invaluable," recalls Svarc, who then did a two-year marketing stint at Point Zero.
"One lesson I took away from a strategy and organization class at McGill was how to change people's perceptions, and that's what started my interest in the power of PR," says Svarc, who left Point Zero to start his own PR firm.
"I knew all the stylists and magazine editors across Canada, and got lots of press for clients in the clothing and jewelry industries. But then I got jealous of all of them; I wanted to start my own brand that was very story-based, with crazy products that people would have to write about. And those stories would help launch my brand."
Svarc, a self-described "denim nerd," began building Naked & Famous by scouring the globe to find the best fabric. He discovered Japanese selvage denim, made on old machines from the fifties.
"There was a cult around Japanese denim, and I knew that if we could get it and make super high-quality jeans and offer them for half the price of all those ridiculous Hollywood brands, then we'd really make an impact."
Svarc planned to position his products in high-end stores at the lowest price. But without a single connection in luxury markets, he had to knock on a lot of doors.
"My family has been doing workwear and prison uniforms for 60 years, but I wanted to sell to Barney's and Holt Renfrew," he explains.
Svarc brought Naked & Famous' first jeans to market in February 2008, along with never-to-be-broken rules for his new brand: made in Canada from raw Japanese fabric, no advertising and no freebies.
That last rule raised a few eyebrows from the Hollywood handlers of A-listers like Justin Bieber and Zac Efron, as Svarc repeatedly turned down requests for free swag.
"They'd say to me, 'You don't understand – we're going to wear these in our music video!' I'd send them Barney's address in Beverly Hills, and mention that there's free valet parking," laughs Svarc. "Isn't it funny that the richest people in America want the most free stuff?"
The Naked & Famous factory – Svarc shares digs with father Alan, BCom'79, and sister Kari, BA'10, on St-Laurent Boulevard – employs just 12 people and sells to more than 30 countries worldwide.
Fashion mags have happily bought into Svarc's vision: Naked & Famous has gotten some serious ink in GQ, Details and Sharp, featuring its glow-in-the-dark jeans, raspberry-scented scratch-and-sniff jeans and, most recently, thermochromic denim that changes colour with body heat.
On the fashion site Hypebeast.com, one Naked & Famous fan called Svarc "The Willy Wonka of denim."
"Willy Wonka appealed to the imagination and that's how we design," says Svarc. "When I come up with something new, I picture myself as an eight-year-old kid again. Glow-in-the-dark jeans? We made them because I had glow-in-the-dark stickers on my ceiling."

Playing: Red Steel 2, Hyperbakersdozen Neptunia: mk2many. PSN: Jext77 feel free to add me.
While we're making this a general discussion topic, what do you guys think are the best Over Energies to have?
For example, my preferred DNA Board currently has this setup in my game.
OD Antibody LV12
LIB Regeneration LV10
OD Healing LV10
Odds Up LV9
Critical Shot LV9
Power Surge LV8
LIB Inferno LV7
LIB Energy Shot LV3
I think CF skills are pretty worthless, but I've been rethinking keeping the OD skills too. OD Healing doesn't seem very useful, for example, and I don't think I've ever seen OD Antibody activate.
I am pretty happy with the rest of my board, aside from knowing, now, that I need to level up LIB Energy Shot, and getting Odds Up would be useful in any event.
I just looked over all of the OE chips available, and picked out some of the ones that sound good.
- Impact Wave sounds interesting--has anyone here ever got it? It's the first time I heard of it.
- Energy Defense sounds like a must, and I'm pretty interested in this one.
- Barrier is another one that sounds good, but depending on the duration of the invincibility, it could ultimately be a useless skill.
- Pre-raise is another wildcard; it doesn't sound particularly useful since it only activates once per episode, but revival is nonetheless tempting.
- Kill Boost is another one that sounds like a must-have, since it makes OD Kills that much more effective.
- Haste is the last one I thought of. It... actually sounds really useless due to how it executes, but the concept intrigues me.
EDIT: I'm doing some research now, and according to this topic, Antibody is bugged, and LIB Regeneration only works when Aya is standing still. Meaning I should prooobably remove them from my Board posthaste. >_>
EDIT: I found a good Board here.
And various DNA Boards here.

It's nice reading some of my old works from those links. But yes, of this list.
"OD Antibody LV12
LIB Regeneration LV10
OD Healing LV10
Odds Up LV9
Critical Shot LV9
Power Surge LV8
LIB Inferno LV7
LIB Energy Shot LV3"
Get rid of Antibody, it's bugged and worthless. Dump Regeneration right away as it interferes with Energy Shot and is very useless otherwise. Healing is alright but unless you want to spam triangle to get it to work a few times it's not really worth using. Odds Up is fine for now but in a final board set up or chip farming you'd want it on another board exclusively to farm chips. You don't really have any reason to use Inferno either, you sacrifice a soldier's life to do damage, really not worth using.
Ones you do want and most of which you noted are
Energy Defense, it's a passive defense increase so always worth having even in Insane mode.
Kill Boost to increase Overdive Kill damage, again a no brainer.
Barrier will absorb a hit for you and make you temporarily invincible for a few seconds, doesn't activate often though when it does it can sometimes save you from otherwise fatal hits.
Pre-Raise, it's an auto-revive once per episode. It's value really comes into play on Deadly and Insane but it's always worth having anyway.
Energy Shot, which you already have, it's a passive Liberation damage boost so no reason not to keep it.
Power Surge, again another great one to have which you do.
Critical Shot is good if you use handguns a lot and a certain handgun series later (S459 and S449) is beyond fantastic for liberation gauge building, otherwise don't bother.
Restock, works like healing (as in just keep mashing triangle till it works) though it's for your ammo. Restores about 30% of your ammo when it works. You shouldn't need to worry about ammo much until later difficulties but if you can get it on the board, no reason not to have it earlier.
Haste is okay, I've used it but you just have to remember that when Haste is active, stuff like Energy Shot won't take affect as Haste has priority so just avoid being in Liberation Mode when Haste is on, if you can help it an it'll be alright.
I myself for my 9th slot actually went with Rapid Link just because during Crossfires it makes you and the soldiers invincible for a bit, that can be really handy on later modes if you're trying to keep them alive and maybe spare yourself a hit if you time it well. Otherwise just stick with something like Haste or if you don't like it, can go back to something like Healing if you prefer it.
Playing: Red Steel 2, Hyperbakersdozen Neptunia: mk2many. PSN: Jext77 feel free to add me.
I used this for Rank AAA, no deaths, no soldier deaths, all Feats cleared and some other stuff I can't remember. :)
- Pre-Raise can be swapped in for Boost Fire or Rapid Link, though I'd pick the former. Crossfire doesn't have much use in Insane bar keeping the soldiers invulnerable. I didn't bother with it.
- To maximise Restock efficiency, I personally avoid equipping other Orange OE's. I can't really vouch for Impact Wave, never played around with it enough.
Everything else is more or less self-explanatory or already covered. :)
Edit: I think I need to go to sleep...

I looked at your DNA Board, eixeeee, and since the titles don't appear to be on there, I'm gonna take a guess.
Starting at the top-left, going down.
Kill Boost
Rapid Link
Power Surge
Energy Shot
Boost Fire
Sounds like a good Board. I think I'll ultimately go with gadgaurd's in the second topic I linked in my previous post.
The discussion on DNA Boards isn't necessarily over, mind you, unless the regulars here say otherwise.

Fixed. Like I said I don't use Pre-Raise. Barrier is a worthy addition though, but I never really thought about that one too much.
Just go with what you feel works for you, no one DNA board is the end-all be-all anyway.
Edit: I'm not a regular? :(

(27/10/11: Eix ~ MysteryVeil)
Oh, I was talking to, like, the general populace with that last sentence. You know, in case a non-regular comes along and wants to get in on the discussion.
EDIT: Actually, I think I'm going to go with your board, eixeeee. I mean, I use Crossfire a lot, and just because there are a couple battles (The end of the game, for one) have Aya alone, that doesn't negate the rest of the game, where Rapid Link and Boost Fire would be extremely useful, especially for my play style.
Pre-raise might go on another Board.
How many DNA Boards do you get, anyway?
"Be confident, think positive!"
SSj7CloudS 4 years ago#48
Eh, use whatever board you want really, everyone ends up agreeing on at least seven or eight of the nine abilities that are essential with the last one being interchangeable based on preference so use whichever suits your style.
You get 5 DNA boards in total.

kyushudanji 4 years ago#49
How many DNA Boards do you get, anyway?
You get a max of five: the starting board; one after Episode 3; and one for completing the game once, twice and three times.
As SSj7CloudS suggested, you should have a board ready for specific situations (e.g., High One, chip farming, blitz of Twisted). Each board should have the basic OE chips equipped, then any optional ones.
Impact Wave is useful if you dive into soldier surrounded by Twisted. I kept it on a board just to see what would happen. When it did activate, the room was already cleared.
@51793Moeman, Impact Wave might be useful for your style of play.
Oh I'm aware of what Impact Wave does but aside from seeing johnan88 use it in his videos, I dunno if its really worth the slot. Better then Antibody at least I guess!
I also recommend Odds Up while you're building any DNA board up to Level 25. Having better quality chips to shuffle with does make a difference instead of using the common Level 1/2 chips.
Also, Level 20/21 is the magic level for getting single-slot OE chips from bosses, so it's worth having Odds Up until you get to Deadly/Insane, at which point you can just change it into something else you need. :)

The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.

► A Star Product, A Well-Formulated Fairly Priced AHA Lotion
This is a Star Product for those who are looking for a well-formulated AHA lotion. With 5% glycolic acid plus lower amounts of the lesser-known AHA ingredients lactic and malic acids, all formulated at an effective pH level of 3. IMHO, this product is a great exfoliant especially for those with normal to dry, sun-damaged skin. It contains antioxidants and a dry skin-friendly mix of emollients, while the fragrance from lemon extract is subtle. In many respects, the antioxidants chosen have very reliable scientific records when it comes to their skin-care benefits. Those antioxidants are essential to stimulate healthy collagen production. Packaging is correct for this product as air-tight packaging is critical to ingredient efficacy and stability, and antioxidants deteriorate in the presence of air. It is very normal to experience a small amount of tingling. It dissipated quickly and stop altogether with ongoing use. Within a few weeks of applications, my skin experiences renewed texture, color and tone, as well as a reduction in the appearance of sun damage and fine lines. Taking everything into account, I highly recommend this high performance cost-effective product. I am a strong advocate on scientific medical research and evidence-based information, and constantly want to differentiate between marketing hyperbole and real world effects. I hope you'll find my review Helpful to you. Best wishes and good health to everyone!

Wonderful Exfoliator

Every time I use this, I wake up in the morning with baby soft skin! I also appreciate the fact that it mainly exfoliates with glycolic acid, which is the smallest of the alpha hydroxy acids and would, therefore penetrate the best among them. It is a must-have skin care product in my opinion.

That was the message from Commission Chairman Joe Meek, who spoke Wednesday to the Chronicle's editorial board.
"We've addressed the shortfall for this year," Meek said, referring to the amount outstanding after Progress Energy/Duke Energy paid only a portion of its tax bill. "The closure of the nuclear plant is being built into next year's budget."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 21/5/2013 (1527 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The 33rd annual Terry Fox Run in Winnipeg may not happen if a volunteer organizer doesn't step forward soon.
"We're looking for somebody who can pull it together in Winnipeg," said Tammy Ferrante, provincial director of the Terry Fox Foundation.
The annual run to raise money for the foundation that conducts cancer research is scheduled to take place Sunday, Sept. 15.
But Ferrante said if they can't find a volunteer to organize the run, it may be cancelled this year.
An organizer is needed to "motivate and mobilize a volunteer team and their community," a news release the foundation issued said.
The organizer is responsible for: recruiting committee members, facilitating committee planning meetings, setting and confirming the 2013 Winnipeg Terry Fox Run route, seeking refreshment donations, promoting the run and overseeing run-day activities.
The time commitment may range from two to four hours weekly during the months leading up to the run, the release said.
Interested applicants are asked to contact 204-231-5282 or email@example.com for more information.

News Release
For Immediate Release
September 26, 2012
Catherine L. Bernhard, Senior Assistant Attorney General
NH Insurance Department Fraud Prosecutor
Consumer Protection and Antitrust Bureau
(603) 271-7973 x 235 (603) 271-2898
Attorney General Michael A. Delaney and NH Insurance Commissioner Roger A. Sevigny announce that on September 26, 2012, at the Merrimack County Superior Court, Randy Ekmarck of Pembroke, NH pleaded guilty to one Class B Felony Insurance Fraud. As part of a negotiated plea, Mr. Ekmarck received a sentence of twelve months at the House of Corrections, and a $2,000 fine, both of which were suspended for a period of one year. Mr. Ekmarck was placed on probation for one year and required to obtain a LADAC* evaluation and comply with any follow up recommendations.
On December 13, 2011, Mr. Ekmarck took out a personal articles policy with State Farm Insurance to cover his fiancé's diamond engagement ring. He filed a claim in February of 2012 claiming that the ring had been destroyed when it fell into the running kitchen disposal. Mr. Ekmarck failed to cooperate completely with the State Farm investigation, and the claim was denied. The matter was referred to the NH Insurance Department Fraud Unit for further investigation. The false story Mr. Ekmarck told State Farm to support his fraudulent claim was uncovered; the truth was he had pawned the ring to pay his expenses. The ring was located at Atlantic Traders in Chichester, NH.
This prosecution was collaboration between the NH Attorney General's Office and the NH Insurance Department. The Attorney General and the Insurance Commissioner remind consumers that fraudulent insurance claims affect all insurance consumers because the cost of insurance fraud is reflected in higher insurance premiums. The Insurance Department Fraud Unit receives referrals from insurance companies pursuant to RSA 417:28, and either in writing, on-line, or by phone from other agencies, consumers, or from any source.

Digital River Now Accepting Bitcoin
Digital River has announced it has added bitcoin as a payment option for merchants that are selling online in the United States and using its small to mid-sized commerce solution. Bitcoin will now be available along with other international payment options, such as credit and debit cards, wire transfers, bank transfers and third-party wallets.
"Bitcoin continues to attract more mainstream attention," said Tom Peterson, executive vice president and general manager of commerce at Digital River. "We're excited to be among the first pure play ecommerce providers to make the cryptocurrency available for small to mid-sized businesses interested in providing their online shoppers more payment choices and added convenience.
"Because Digital River acts as the merchant- and seller-of-record, our international base of customers can accept and process bitcoin payments in their U.S. online stores with less risk than they could on their own," added Peterson. "In addition, this business model creates an opportunity for our customers to offer payment solutions that may be in earlier stages of adoption in their domestic markets."
Digital River partnered with San Francisco-based Coinbase, a bitcoin wallet and platform provider, to handle the conversion of bitcoin into U.S. dollars and process the payments.

Greenbelt MD (SPX) Aug 13, 2014
At times, the sun erupts, hurling a magnetic superheated cloud of gas toward Earth. Racing at thousands of miles per second, and hundreds of times bigger than the sun, this cloud of solar particles can cause a magnetic storm near Earth, disrupting satellite communications and-in worse case scenarios-overloading power transformers.
Here on Earth, Dhaneshvaran Krishnarao monitors satellite footage for this type of activity. He started at NASA in 2013 as a space weather forecaster after his professor at American University recommended the internship. Krishnarao returned to NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, to continue his work this summer.
"We'll be looking at images, like x-ray data and UV data," Krishnarao said.
"We monitor everything to see if something crosses a certain threshold. If it does, we would send out notifications for NASA robotic mission operators. Sometimes we respond to requests that the Air Force or other agencies would make to us."
Modern technology makes society more susceptible to the blackouts caused by solar storms. When struck by one of these huge clouds of solar material, called a coronal mass ejection, our planet's magnetic fields jostle back and forth.
As the atmosphere changes, GPS satellite frequencies that must pierce the ionosphere now betray exact coordinates by a couple of yards. For airplanes, military operations, farmers' vehicles, and financial transaction that rely on GPS, this can prove devastating.
Another type of eruption from the sun, called a solar flare, can interfere with shortwave radios. These low frequency radio waves use the ionosphere as a mirror to reflect transmissions around the globe; but during a solar storm, they simply disappear up into the sky-unable to bounce off of an atmosphere so changed by these storms.
But our technology also allows us to monitor these solar events and take necessary preparations. Goddard trains intern forecasters in a space weather boot camp for two weeks. During this orientation period, presentations and lecturers train the interns to study past space weather events so they would know how to respond to certain space weather events.
"I now forecast eight hours a week," Krishnarao said.
"The rest of the time, I work on a project to use preexisting spacecraft to monitor solar conditions. This new system will allow mission operators to select a spacecraft and ascertain the likelihood of different risks occurring."
Krishnarao hopes to continue working in astrophysics and heliophysics in grad school. He found the environment at NASA conducive to his education.
"They're really pushing us and encouraging us," Krishnarao said of his mentors. "They are our friends."

The bar is changing, with new rules and requirements forcing sets to move into the 21st century
Is over-regulation restricting innovative growth at the bar? And if so, why?
Jonathan Hirst QC, joint head of chambers, Brick Court Chambers: There have been a number of instances recently of unnecessary regulation – in particular, the requirement that a client be told in writing at the earliest opportunity of how to make a complaint. it risks starting the relationship on the wrong basis. In this modern age clients who want to complain have no problem finding out how to do so from the website.
Has this restricted innovative growth? Probably not, but that does not justify the regulation.
Luke Parsons QC, head of chambers, Quadrant Chambers: It's certainly not restricting our growth. One has to acknowledge the fact that the bar as it evolves is fragmenting. Thus, those sets that rely on public funding are having to react to forces and drivers that are not bearing in the same way on sets operating in other practice areas.
Increased bureaucracy is frustrating at times but it's understandable in the modern business world. To some extent it is necessary as the bar drags itself into the 21st century.
Paul Darling QC, head of chambers, Keating Chambers: The bar is developing its thinking on business models. Regulation is not yet acting as a brake. The Bar Standards Board (BSB) regulation model is unlikely to restrict innovation.
Nigel Jones QC, joint head of chambers, Hardwicke Chambers: I don't accept the premise of the question. When I started, the bar was a small self-regulated monopoly. This did not encourage initiative and was unfit for a larger profession operating in a more diverse society under a more diverse system of law, with opportunities to work globally and while managing competition from other professionals.
Independent regulators were required. They are, in fact, creating opportunities for growth that the bar would have managed alone. Recent costs and funding changes require us to adapt but will also drive innovation. We have not identified any innovation constrained by regulation.
We don't see regulation as a threat. Good businesses require good management, and regulatory discipline can help in that. The costs of compliance and monitoring are manageable by successful chambers and the proposed review of advocacy standards does not threaten innovation: Hardwicke has already introduced an internal peer review system to aid best practice.
Is direct public access (DPA) an opportunity for growth or a threat to solicitor referral relationships?
Hirst: Commercial clients have always been able to come to the bar direct via in-house counsel. Chambers will be cautious about taking any step that might imperil their relationship with instructing solicitors. By contrast, for areas of the bar reliant on publicly funded work DPA will be an essential way of attracting work from litigants.
Parsons: For us at the big-ticket commercial end DPA doesn't apply but direct access does. There's a trend for corporates to increase their in-house capabilities to cut legal spend and, in turn, while we don't court it, more work comes to us from them than via private practice intermediaries.
This creates new opportunities for the bar not only to increase levels of direct access work, but also to refer work to solicitors. We know what we're good at – market-leading advocacy skills mixed with a nuanced understanding of the commercial context our clients are operating in; and we know what our solicitor clients are good at – project management of large legal teams and co-ordinating legal and commercial advice across multiple geographies and areas of practice. The bar is simply not geared up for full-scale litigation so there will always be the chance for us to work with solicitors. But the traditional workflow dynamic of solicitor-to-barrister has changed.
Darling: Public access is no threat to the bar. It has caused no tension and has worked well. Public access does not fundamentally change the balance. I've advised in a number of cases direct, at the suggestion of the client's solicitor.
It is an opportunity for growth, but if, as I do, you see the bar as a specialist and referral profession then it's not an opportunity for enormous growth.
Jones: The short answer is both, but only up to a point. There has always been an element of client-sharing between chambers and solicitors. Those relationships have always been capable of management and mutual benefit. The 'threat' identified only arises with potential repeat business clients, but referrals and recommendations work both ways and in the corporate world I see this as becoming more common. With care, it will be beneficial, not threatening.
The two really big changes are the growth of non-corporate direct access and the new ability for barristers to conduct litigation. These changes are likely to create polarisation: many chambers will chase this work while others will elect to emphasise their consultancy status and may even have policies to discourage or prevent it.
I anticipate real concerns that a significant rise in the conduct of litigation by barristers will increase practice overheads, lead to more claims and imperil mutual insurance arrangements. This will necessarily and rightly mean more regulation to protect the public.
Will multi-disciplinary partnerships become more common?
Hirst: At the criminal bar, this depends on what happens to public funding. If there's a single payment per case, chambers will only be able to compete by offering a full service, which will mean employing solicitors and paralegals to work alongside barristers. Maybe the same will happen in other areas where there is public funding, such as public family law.
I'm much more sceptical that this is a route the specialist civil bar will wish to follow. The present model has held up well for chambers and our professional clients. The move towards in-house advocacy departments has by no means been universally adopted.
Parsons: Yes there will be innovation as the bar experiments with its freedom to conduct legal business in different ways. But in the end, the bar doesn't want to take on the work of solicitors.
The boundaries between the members of a legal team are changing, but the individual elements of that team are still required. If chambers started to run large litigation teams with solicitors, barristers and paralegals their cost bases would go through the ceiling and competitiveness would be eroded.
We prefer to concentrate on perfecting teamwork with solicitor and end-users, and not worry too much where the boundaries are as long as we have the hard and soft skills to do the best possible job.
Darling: The publicly funded and the privately funded bar face different issues. The privately funded bar also has sections. Some will adopt new structures while others will not. My hunch is that the construction bar will not, but it's too early to be sure.
Jones: Joint ventures of different kinds will start to appear. Chambers like Hardwicke already employ law graduates in their practice management teams to help meet the expectations of an increasingly corporate client base. We have no plans to engage staff to conduct litigation.
For those chambers which remain primarily consultants these changes will not affect their current business model of self-employed barristers held together primarily by constitutions and possibly service companies. Incorporation or partnership vehicles may be used for management, tax and profit distribution: this will erode the practice of barristers in the same chambers acting on different sides of the same case (Hardwicke is not alone in finding that international clients increasingly refuse to understand or accept such arrangements) and that will affect income rather than the consultancy business model. Chambers which chase the conduct of litigation will become indistinguishable from small solicitors' firms and will have to find ways of absorbing larger overheads.
What will the bar look like in five years' time?
Hirst: The criminal bar will be smaller and more specialist, but I'm optimistic about the specialist civil bar. Despite dire predictions from some quarters we have thrived in the past few years and continued to recruit outstandingly able people. I'm sure chambers will continue to develop their international practices.
This section of the bar will not look very different from now, save that there will be an increasing number of able female practitioners getting to the top; some famous old warhorses will have retired; the profession will evolve and adopt even higher standards of client care and technological expertise; and it will find new ways to collaborate with solicitors and clients.
Parsons: There will be an even bigger disparity between the commercial and public sector ends of the bar. Also, given that we are facing such significant change, the chairman of the bar should be in position for much longer than a year, so they have a fighting chance of grappling with these issues.
Darling: The honest answer is that I have no idea but I strongly believe that there will remain a corps of specialist advocates.
Jones: My guess is that the bar will thrive but be smaller and different. Large firms may accelerate the concept of establishing their own 'in-house chambers' but that will remain the exception. The polarisation of the solicitors' profession has been slower to hit the bar, but it will do so now. The top 30 chambers will become increasingly focused on specialist sectors and selling services globally. Specialist chambers not strong enough to survive independently in this group will merge or be swallowed up. There will remain a vigorous high street bar with a strong local and public service ethic with multiple business models and joint ventures, many routinely conducting litigation.
The secret is: forget the illusory comfort of the past, analyse skills and strengths, adapt, retrain if necessary, establish a business plan and implement it.

As a general rule, I do not believe it is a good investment thesis to buy stocks on the sole basis of it being bought. If one invests in good companies, it will grow and produce decent returns. Companies that produce good returns have a better chance of being bought, which is added upside. The recent purchase of Helis operated acreage in northeast McKenzie County has started talk of further acquisitions in the Bakken. QEP (NYSE:QEP) purchased this core area along with the non-operated interests. It has on average 90% working interest in the 27,600 net acres.
QEP wasn't buying acreage blindly; it was looking for a good fit. QEP's core is in Fort Berthold. Its acreage is predominantly in two fields. Heart Butte Field is located on the west of the lake, and Deep Water Creek Bay is on the eastern shore. It also has smaller non-core acreage in Williams and McKenzie counties. QEP purchased acreage in Grail, Croff, Spotted Horn and Blue Buttes fields. Grail Field has seen the most development and would be considered the main portion of the core acreage. It is 13 miles west from Heart Butte Field. This is important as it is not far from its existing acreage. It is also off of Fort Berthold, where well costs have been approximately $500,000 more per well. It is important to remember if this deal doesn't get the approval of all selling parties, it doesn't happen.
The QEP purchase doesn't specifically effect the chances of other buyouts, but it may show us there is value. QEP's purchase shows a new trend in the Williston Basin. Given the decrease in costs, improving differentials and move to pad drilling could help to push the price per acre upward.
There has been much said as to the best way to play the next Bakken buyout. Looking for the best candidate is no simple task. There are several things that need to be known about the company. The most important is acreage. Even a poor operator could be sitting on a gold mine, if they have the right geology below their feet. In some cases, the operator could be as important as the acreage. Brigham's buyout by Statoil (NYSE:STO) was done with the intention of keeping the company together. Brigham was known for some of the best wells in the Bakken, and by keeping the key players involved, Statoil didn't have to worry about that end of the business. Operated acreage is also important, as bigger companies that purchase smaller ones want to have control of their own destiny. Although costs tend to be lower as a non-operator, the acreage is worth less as you are stuck with developing the acreage when the operator wants to. Infrastructure is important. If natural gas, oil and water can all be piped, costs decrease significantly plus there are no worries of snow or flooding causing wells to be shut in. Let's not forget, the company has to want to sell.
There have been several Bakken producers mentioned as "best buyout prospects" with little concern for the variables needed for a buyout to occur. Brigham is a good example. In the face of a difficult winter followed by severe flooding, costs were spiraling out of control. The company had gotten very big, very fast and it was also getting difficult to manage. Management wanted to keep running the operations, but essentially needed some help, and more importantly security. Rumor has it there were several companies invited to take a look at Brigham, and Statoil was one of the few that was interested. The deal went through, management was rewarded and kept on to run the Bakken program. Statoil was able to get into the Williston Basin, and do this without overpaying.
There are several names that have gotten a lot of traffic based on a buyout. Of these, I believe two have a very good chance. The first name, and the company that has the best chance to be purchased is Oasis (NYSE:OAS). Oasis has about 320,000 net acres in the Williston Basin. It has 108,000 net acres in East Nesson. When it began accumulating this acreage, it did so near the Nesson Anticline. This structure was the basis for vertical oil development in the 80s, where the Madison pay zone was targeted. Being to the east of the anticline, it was expected to be a better area for horizontal development. Its acreage in Mountrail County is very good, as it has developed a fairly large area in Alger Field. It has 8,000 acres in the Sanish Field, but most of those acres are non-operated. Another very good prospect for Oasis is in Camp Field. This is in north McKenzie County and is known as its Indian Hills prospect. It is characterized as a deep, higher pressured area that produces some very good IP rates much like Alger Field. Its Red Bank prospect in western Williams County and Cottonwood prospect in northwestern Mountrail and south Burke counties are somewhat similar. These areas are defined by geology of lower pressure at a lower depth. These wells are less expensive to drill, but do not produce the real high initial production rates seen in better areas. Although IP rates are lower, these wells are economic and still produce EURs in the 400 MBoe to 450 MBoe range. It should be noted that GeoResources was recently purchased by Halcon Resources (NYSE:HK) and had Bakken acreage in the Red Bank area. Although it doesn't get the press, it is still a good area. Its West Williston acreage totals 204,000 net acres, including areas in Montana.
Oasis is attractive on many levels, and to many different types of companies. With 320,000 acres, it is appealing to bigger international oil companies that want a big footprint in the Bakken. It also provides acreage in most areas of the Williston Basin, making it much easier bolt on additional acreage in the near future. This company is also attractive to smaller companies that predominantly produce natural gas and natural gas liquids. The price of natural gas is difficult enough, but natural gas liquids have also decreased in value significantly. Companies the size of QEP and bigger could be motivated to grab a company that will average production of 22 to 24 MBoe/d in the third quarter of 2012.
Kodiak (NYSE:KOG) comes in a close second to Oasis. Although I like Kodiak better as an operator with better acreage, this company may fit a more specific type of buyer. It has 155,000 net acres in the Bakken. 42,000 of these acres are in its Polar prospect. This acreage is in southeast Williams County and is part of Kodiak's most recent acquisition. Once Kodiak began drilling and completing wells in this prospect, it was already producing IP rates double that of the last operator. 24-hour initial production rates between 3,000 and 4,000 Boe/d have been the average, but at a much higher GOR than wells in the Koala. EURs may be higher here, but at a much higher natural gas content. Kodiak's Dunn County acreage is separated into several different prospects. Two Shields Butte is located in Mandaree Field, 10 miles west of the lake. In the third quarter of last year, Kodiak had a 90-day IP rate in this prospect at over 1,000 Boe/d. Skunk Creek is in the same general vicinity as Two Shields Butte, and also had a 90-day IP rate over 1,000 Boe/d. Moccasin Creek is approximately 10 miles south of Skunk Creek and Two Shields Butte. In 2010, Kodiak had two wells just under 1,000 Boe/d in this prospect. Of its Dunn County acreage, only Charging Eagle has been a disappointment. It is to the east of Moccasin Creek, just across the lake. Charging Eagle wells have average 90-day IP rates in the 450 to 500 Boe/d. Kodiak has 34,000 net acres in Dunn County.
Kodiak's Koala acreage is very good, and might be its best. It has 10,000 acres in this north McKenzie County prospect. Kodiak's best wells are here, and has two 90-day IP rate above 1,100 Boe/d. Its Smokey prospect is six miles west and thirteen miles south of the Koala prospect in Poe Field. The Smokey prospect is in Pembroke Field, and has had 24-hour IP rates in the 2,400 to 2,800 Boe/d. Longer-term production numbers aren't in yet, but these wells will still be quite good. In north Williams/south Divide counties is Kodiak's Wildrose prospect. It has 24,000 acres here, and its most recent well was economic. Well costs here are much lower as the play has less depth, and has lower pressure. Kodiak is not planning on doing many wells here in the near term as the rate of return is not as good. Its Grizzly prospect is in southeast McKenzie County and accounts for 27,000 net acres. These wells are Kodiak's worst and will be interesting to watch going forward. EURs are still in the 400 Mboe range.
Kodiak is an interesting company. It has some of the best acreage in the Williston Basin. It is also one of the best operators. Of its 155,000 net acres, 86,000 is considered prime. If the Smokey prospect is added to this group, the total moves to 103,000 acres. What is important about the location of this acreage is the upside to lower benches of the Three Forks. Contiental's (NYSE:CLR) Charlotte wells are in Banks Field which is only a few miles from the Koala and Polar prospects. Burlington's (NYSE:COP) Sunline well, in Clear Creek Field was a successful test of the second bench of the Three Forks and only 16 miles northwest of Mandaree Field. Kodiak's Dunn County acreage is not far from QEP's two 10 well pads. If these tests are successful, it should increase the total resource recoveries in the area.
In summary, both Oasis and Kodiak have interesting buyout prospects. Both are Bakken pure plays, and have acreage in viable fields throughout the Williston Basin. These two companies have come a long way in a short time with respect to reducing costs, and it would seem these costs will continue to head lower. Bakken oil transportation will continue to improve as well, and should see tighter differentials. Right now is one the best times to buy in the Bakken in the past couple of years.

Perfect, that'll do it.
Thanks for the quick reply.
Is there something in the download that indicates what the version is?
Just states v2 in the Licensing folder / GPL.txt
I bought this less than a few months ago and the download was a v188.8.131.52 from last April 2013. (?)
Can someone check that it is v188.8.131.52 please?
Thanks for your ongoing quality support.
Best regards.
Tested the Get Notified by entering various emails. No emails have been received.
Are these email sign ups supposed to go to the Admin's email? If so nothing received. Have tried changing the Admin email also, same result no emails for those signing up to Get Notified. Not in the spam or trash either.
Thanks for the ongoing help and support.

The logo I designed looks great in desktop browsers and tablets, but on a mobile it seems to be scaling the width of the header instead of fitting the logo in the available width and the logo (the most important aspect of the brand) is too small on a mobile.
It's at http://hippiechickoriginals.com
Any way to fix this specifically for mobile?
Best regards, Marc
The Revolution Slider as demonstrated here http://demo.averta.net/themes/lotus/all-in-one/features-2/revolution-slider/ , shows the text is bunched up after the first astronaut slide. It's the same on Mac OSX 10.8.3 for Firefox and Chrome, and also on Windows 7, IE 9 and Chrome.
First question…
Is it misconfiguration or just not cross platform / browser tested? I'm interested in buying.
Last questions….
And about the astronaut that floats across the slider viewing area in the link noted above. Can I do that with using an image with a transparent background, or is that flash or something created with another app?
Thanks all for your considerations and support.
Best regards, Marc
When I buy a theme, are the sliders that come with responsive themes full versions of those sliders?
...or do I have to upgrade for full functionality?
Best regards, Marc

Five UNC students injured in rollover crash
April 15, 2013
Five University of Northern Colorado students were injured last week in a single-car rollover accident in north Weld County.
According to Weld County Sheriff's Office Bureau Chief Steve Reams, the accident occurred sometime around midnight April 3 near Weld County roads 57 and 96, northwest of Briggsdale near the Pawnee National Grass Lands.
Reams said all five were transported to area hospitals with various injuries ranging from minor broken bones to a broken neck.
Alcohol is not believed to have been a factor in the accident. It is unknown if they were wearing seatbelts.
"It appears they were driving in an area unfamiliar to them and in dense fog," Reams said. "It does not appear they were exceeding the speed limit or that drugs and alcohol were a factor. The driver lost control of the vehicle and rolled several times."
The driver has not been charged with anything. The investigation continues, Reams said, while police await blood tests.
The driver was identified as Nickolas Retallick, 19. The passengers were identified as Brian Fischer, 20; Samuel Nadon, 20; Ryan Tweed, 20; and Garratt Hogue, 23.
According to a story in the UNC Mirror, the five were all members of Sigma Chi Fraternity and were returning from an off-campus event for new members at the time of the crash.
Requests for interviews with leaders of the fraternity were not returned, and UNC spokesman Nate Haas had no additional information.
"According to a release from Assistant Dean of Student Life Evan Welch, appropriate university officials, the dean of students, legal counsel, counseling center and UNC Greek Life have been notified," the story in the Mirror said.
The Mirror also said a candlelight vigil was held for the students April 4 outside the Sigma Chi house, 1922 8th Ave.
"At this time, it looks like it was just a bad accident," Reams said.
