Underground Storage and Geotechnology Systems. PCL a software for 3-D leaching simulation developed by UGS

1 Underground Storage and Geotechnology Systems PCL a software for 3-D leaching simulation developed by UGS
2 PCL a software for 3-D leaching simulation developed by UGS Characteriz ation of the program PCL is an interactive software for the threedimensional (3-D) simulation of transient salt dissolution processes in salt caverns during - leaching operations, including SMUG solution mining under gas - liquid product storage operations (injection, withdrawal with water or under-saturated brine) - flooding of emptied caverns with fresh water or under-saturated brine with a cavern development around a vertical axis. The program is mainly intended to be used by experienced salt cavern design and operating engineers. It can take into account dipping salt layers with varying dissolution characteristic as well as anisotropic salt leaching behavior within these layers. The program is neither capable to simulate the development of fingers or pockets nor to consider such features of imported initial cavern shapes. The program allows for a gradual change of blanket level depth during an operating stage and therefore for the simulation of - leaching processes under gas (SMUG solution mining under gas) i. e. the leaching process continues while a large quantity of gas is injected to or withdrawn from the cavern); - product storage processes with fresh water or under-saturated brine for withdrawal. If required pressure loss calculations can be included on the operation stage level for both vertical and S-shape wells. The necessary thermo-physical properties are calculated by the program depending on the temperature. To define a start configuration the import of sonar survey data sets of different file formats is possible. The cavern shape development is instantly graphically displayed on the monitor screen while the calculation is still progressing. The import of leaching process data is possible (triple data set of date, freshwater flow rate, density of out-coming brine). The software can be run in - edit mode (design work, history match); - view mode (input data and result display without simulation capability); - admin mode (administration of default settings) PCL is characterized by high calculating speed. This allows for an inter-active adjustment of leaching parameters and immediate evaluation of the calculation results. German and English language versions are available. A user's guide and a dynamic help are an integrated part of the software. Picture 1 Cavern shape imported from sonar survey 2
3 The graphica l us er int erface Picture 2 The initially displayed windows can be changed in size, closed and again opened, minimized, detached and arranged in a different manner by drag-and-drop. The project structure window is always visible, it can neither be closed nor doubled. It exhibits the hierarchy of a project structure: - 1 st level represents the salt structure. A salt structure can encompass several caverns. - 2 nd level Represents a cavern project within the super-ordinated salt structure - 3 rd level Represents a calculation variant of the superordinated cavern project. Cavern variants are independent on each other. They can vary to a large extend. They can be copied and subsequently edited. - 4 th level Within a cavern variant salt layers with their dimensions, spatial orientation and specific leaching properties are to be specified. They can exhibit an anisotropic leaching behavior. operating stages with setting depths of the leaching strings, flow directions, flow rates, blanket position and the stage termination criterion are to be defined. A new operating stage inherits the properties of its predecessor and needs only an adjustment.

4 Graphical d isp lay of r e sults There are three different modes for the graphical display of the calculation results: 1. Cavern shape development during the calculation process The cavern shape is displayed in real-time during the calculation process. The blue shading reflects the mineralization distribution of the brine within the cavern (picture 3). While the computation process continues the cavern can be rotated. In this way dipping salt layers with different leaching properties can be visualized. When hovering with the mouse cursor over the graphic area spatial related data are displayed (picture 4). 2. Overlapping shapes Once the simulation process is finished the cavern shapes at the end of each leaching stage can be visualized in one picture by overlapping (picture 5). 3. Stage main characteristics The major technological parameters characterizing one or more leaching stages (setting depth of the leaching strings, flow direction, blanket level, sump level) are displayed in a single chart (picture 6). Picture 3 Cavern shape development during calculation Picture 4 Visualized dipping salt layers with anisotropic leaching behavior Picture 5 Overlapping cavern shapes Picture 6 4
5 Disp lay of numerica l r esults There are two different types of windows for displaying the numerical results: - Windows for the Overview mode The overview window displays the relevant data of each operating stage such as start and termination date, operating and standstill time, cavern volumes and volume increase, water consumption, brine volume produced and the termination criterion that finished this operating stage. - Windows for the time step mode The time step window displays the results of one or more time steps of the selected operating stage. Overview Gives an overview on chronological data characterizing the process schedule up to the selected time step. Process Gives an overview on the balance of the media involved up to the selected time step. Mineralization Mineralization distribution in the cavern versus depth at the selected time step. Geometry Gives a geometrical characteristic of the entire cavern (volumes, maximum diameter and cross section, partial volumes filled with blanket and brine and sump volume, etc.) up to the selected time step. Radii Displays the actual cavern shape in numerical form; azimuth values counted clockwise from north at the selected time step. Pressures Displays major pressure values at the selected time step if fluid dynamic calculation for the borehole is activated. Picture 7 Picture 8 Picture 9 Overview-window Overview-tab in the time-step-window Process-tab in the time-step-window Picture 10 Process-tab in the time-step-window for two time steps 5
6 Export of resu lt data The following PCL-data can be exported: - Leaching process data for further processing particularly with MS EXCEL or for the generation of diagrams. After the operating stages and the time steps are specified for which the data shall be further processed, the related parameters can be selected from a list. These data are then written into a text file which can be directly imported to MS EXCEL. - Cavern characteristics are depth depending data describing cavern properties like partial volume, cross section area, average diameter, mineralization, etc. for further processing particularly with MS EXCEL. - Cavern shape as input data for other IT-applications. In this way e. g. a 3-D-model of the cavern can be created by the SOCON software CavView which can be downloaded from the internet. Picture 11 Selection list for process data export Summary PCL is an effective, fast calculating software tool for the 3-D simulation of leaching processes. It is particularly suited for the planning of leaching operations. But furthermore it can be used for the simulation of liquid product storage operations, flooding processes and for history match based on data records from the leaching process. Experienced leaching engineers get easily acquainted with this tool due to its intuitive graphical user interface. Picture 12 Selection list for cavern characteristics data export 6

Tradition, change, and acting before it's too late
International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach on driving change
June 25, 2015
While Lausanne is the home of IMD, it's also home to many other top organizations including the International Olympic Committee (IOC). In 1914, the founder of the Olympic Games, Pierre de Coubertin, moved the organization from France to neutral Switzerland just before World War I.
"We're not just neighbors, we're friends," were IOC President Thomas Bach's opening words. The prestigious keynote speaker, who has met more than 100 heads of states and governments since his election a year and a half ago continued on a light note: "Next time you need a plumber, we'll be happy to help out."
Taking time out from a phenomenally busy schedule, which includes the IOC centenary celebrations in Lausanne, Thomas Bach addressed the Orchestrating Winning Performance audience before a guided visit of the newly renovated Olympic Museum.
He came to share the ideas that served as his electoral platform to become President of the organization and that have already entered into a phase of implementation.
Introducing change before it is too late
"You have to introduce change when things are going well. Otherwise it might already be too late." Bach was constantly being challenged: why change anything when everything is going so well and the ratings are so high.
The IOC, he explained, has been around for 121 years, and has had to adapt to its times. "If we still followed the original ideas of its founder, maybe we wouldn't be here. One thing for sure is that the games would still take place without women."
Pierre de Coubertin was a traditionalist, but he was also a great reformer because he understood very early on the link between sports and business, as well as politics. Bach said that he kept this in mind when thinking of a plan to adapt the Olympics to society's needs today.
"Imagine the IOC, leader of the Olympic movement, that must deal with strong and autonomous stakeholders, 35 international sports organizations and 205 national agencies. They all have different needs and interests."
He realized that he would be going against the tide of tradition, and decided that changes could only be made by bringing all partners on board.
A culture of dialogue
The first thing he did was to come up with the theme: Unity in diversity. "Diversity is an enrichment that produces more creativity, more ideas and shows us what the world really looks like."
Without making the organization too nervous, he started to talk to the stakeholders to collect their ideas.
Paraphrasing Shakespeare, he used as his campaign motto: "To change, or to be changed, that is the question." He reminded OWP participants that this is also true in the business world and that many traditional companies have disappeared because they did not anticipate changes and were not prepared on time.
When he won the election, Thomas Bach immediately instituted a culture of dialogue. He invited the five candidates who had not been retained to expose their priorities for change, went on a retreat of three days with the IOC Board and then convened a full IOC Session for an open discussion on the future.
"This was the first time it had happened in 121 years," said Bach.
And finally, the public at large was invited to send comments via a dedicated e-mail address. There were more than 43,000 submissions.
The multiple results have been filtered into a roadmap that is referred to as Olympic Agenda 2020, which in reality stands for two times 20 objectives.
Olympic Agenda 2020
The world is more fragile that ever, said Bach, with crises and conflicts wherever you look. It is no surprise that many societies and their governments have sidelined sports in recent years, but the CIO has been working at top political level to bring it back: "We want sports in the middle of the sea of society, not as an isolated island," he said.
To materialize that ambition, three top priorities will permeate the action plans of the IOC over the coming years:
The first is to establish the credibility of competition and of sports organizations through compliance, transparency and good governance. The CIO is showing the lead by having its accounts audited to IFRS standards and made public, as are the allowances for the members.
"People will discover that we really are a not-for-profit organization and that only 10% of our revenues are used for administration. 90% goes directly into the development of sport."
The CIO also helps host countries finance the Games, as in the case of Brazil that will be receiving $1.5 billion from the Olympic organization.
Furthermore, in an effort to eradicate doping, corruption and manipulation, a $20 million fund has been set up.
The CIO has changed its the entire philosophy behind the tender process. Instead of imposing pre-established requirements, the host country is now asked to consider how the Games fit best into their environment and how they can contribute in the long term to their social, economic and ecological development.
"We want the candidate cities to think about the legacy before, not after."
This priority is condensed into a single sentence, said Bach: "How to get couch potatoes off the couch." There has been a disastrous decline in physical activity among the young, which will inevitably have a serious impact on health and education in the coming years.
Bach has been told by heads of state, including the President of China, that in our society, not only the teachers, but even the parents consider sports to be a distraction from education.
The CIO is working in collaboration with UNESCO and governments to get physical education back on the obligatory curriculum of schools. It is also using social media via the national Olympic committees to motivate young people to start moving again.
A recurring theme in the 2015 edition of OWP has been digital disruption, which even sports must take into consideration.
"Sports are an important part of society. A healthy spirit needs a healthy body and children learn better when they oxygenate their brains. They are more successful," hammers Bach.

One of the five men arraigned yesterday on charges of trying to solicit sex from underage girls served time for molesting a 16-year-old girl in an alleyway near Faneuil Hall, after which he gave her a poem, according to court records.
William Barlow, 40, of Brighton told Judge Tracy Lee Lyons during his Boston Municipal Court arraignment yesterday he has not gotten into any trouble since finishing up a 21â"2-year stint in prison for indecent assault and battery in the 2006 sex crime.
"It's been 21â"2 years since I got out and I have been paying my own rent and I'm not on any subsidies," pleaded Barlow. "I apologize for anything."
He and five other men were arrested Tuesday in a sex sting by Boston police for allegedly using a website to try to entice a 17-year-old girl, who was really an undercover police officer, to perform sexual services. Lyons set Barlow's bail at $1,000.
Ali Hassan Houdroge, 46, of Sharon; Michael Pacquette, 30, of Somerville; Richard McIver, 46, of Brockton and Michael Feeney, 20, of Quincy were released on personal recognizance at their arraignments. Lyons issued an arrest warrant for a sixth defendant, Robert Anzalone, 44, of Bellingham, who failed to appear in court.

Govt backs down over GSTmailout
KERRY O'BRIEN: New legal advice has forced the Federal Government into an embarrassing backdown on its giant GST mail-out through the Tax Office.
The Government has now had to pulp a personally addressed letter from the PM to every voter on the electoral roll after advice from the Solicitor-General that the roll could not be used in that way.
Instead there will be a letterbox drop with more basic GST information to households around the country.
The ruling vindicates two key Labor Senators who attacked the Government on the issue over a week ago.
But according to the Attorney-General, the Electoral Commission has been handing out information from its rolls to government agencies since 1993 -- a loophole both sides say they'll now move to fix.
Political editor Tim Lester.
TIM LESTER: Just how freely can governments use the 8 million names and addresses on Australia's electoral roll?
For a glossy GST mail-out?
Sure, says the PM.
JOHN HOWARD, PRIME MINISTER: The correct procedures have been followed.
TIM LESTER: No, they haven't, and Labor's two most senior senators have been telling him the Electoral Commission and the Australian Government Solicitor as much for a fortnight now.
SENATOR ROBERT RAY, LABOR COMMITTEE MEMBER (May 29): As much as I respect the Electoral Commission and the Government solicitor, I do think there's a possibility, not definitely, a possibility they are basically badly wrong.
You're in harm's way if you rely on 91.10 for your material.
I really think you should seek urgent advice and come back to this committee on this.
MICHAEL CARMODY, TAX COMMISSIONER (May 29): I've taken every precaution to ensure that the Tax Office is on solid legal grounds, as you would expect me to.
TIM LESTER: On that basis, the PM was happy to confirm he'd be sending a prime ministerial letter with the tax mail-out.
JOHN HOWARD: I'll be signing the covering letter, yes.
TIM LESTER: Well, you can stop waiting for the PM's letter.
All 8 million copies are to be pulped, despite advice from the Australian Government Solicitor that a mail-out based on the electoral roll was legal.
DARYL WILLIAMS, ATTORNEY-GENERAL: The Solicitor-General advised today that he disagreed with that advice.
The Commissioner of Taxation will not use the electoral roll for a mail-out to explain the benefits of the new tax system.
Instead, Mr Speaker, the Treasurer has advised me that the Australian Taxation Office will distribute information on the new taxation system on a household distribution basis, not using the electoral roll.
TIM LESTER: It didn't take Labor long to claim the credit.
SIMON CREAN, SHADOW TREASURER: Wasn't this advice provided after receipt of the letters of demand sent this morning by Senators Faulkner and Ray to the Electoral Commissioner and the Tax Commissioner, demanding that they take this action?
JOHN ANDERSON, ACTING PRIME MINISTER: The Labor Party's grandstanding on this and hiding a simple reality that the PM announced yesterday that he was seeking further advice on the matter.
SENATOR JOHN FAULKNER, OPPOSITION SENATE LEADER: The PM's letter was illegal.
The idea of sending out a prime ministerial letter promoting the GST should never have been contemplated by anyone.
TIM LESTER: In the Senate, those who'd championed the issue took the Government to task on the extent of the problem.
SENATOR JOHN FAULKNER: How much did it cost to print the PM's illegal letter?
How much has it cost to pulp the PM's illegal letter?
SENATOR ROBERT RAY: A whole series of illegal acts has occurred.
TIM LESTER: The problem for Labor is the illegal acts they've highlighted, the illegal use of the electoral roll, could have happened not just now but right back to the time of the Keating Government.
SENATOR CHRIS ELLISON, SPECIAL MINISTER OF STATE: Since as early as 1991, the Australian Electoral Commission has acted on a consistent advice that it was able to transfer or provide, I should say, information in electronic form.
TIM LESTER: The Solicitor-General doesn't take issue with the Electoral Commission distributing the roll, but says the law limits its use to medical research and public health programs.
PETER COSTELLO, TREASURER: This government will have to enact either legislation or regulation retrospectively to cure the breaching of the act under Labor administration.
SENATOR JOHN FAULKNER: I can say absolutely confidently that there was never any intention at all to use the roll for this sort of political purpose.
TIM LESTER: But was it used illegally in any way?
SENATOR JOHN FAULKNER: I do not believe so, and I don't believe the Government can point to any such case.
I'm very confident that that is the situation.
TILE The Solicitor-General's finding adds fuel to growing privacy concerns about government departments and how freely they pass on personal information.
There are already red faces in the Tax Office after a breach of privacy laws over the possible sale of addresses of those who hold Australian business numbers.
Today's developments highlight the case for limits on the use of the electoral roll.
SENATOR ANDREW MURRAY, DEMOCRATS: What it does is give us all the opportunity to tighten up its use.
Plainly, data matching should go on within government, but then people will blanch, will resist the idea of an electoral roll which everyone feels has to have the upmost integrity being used for what are contentious advertising purposes.
TIM LESTER: Today's developments are another embarrassment for the Government in its campaign to explain and sell the GST.
Costed by Labor at $431 million, letter pulping not included.
But the Democrats are now moving an amendment in the Senate that would commit a future Labor Government to put taxpayer-funded advertising up to independent scrutiny.
SENATOR ANDREW MURRAY: It would demand that they committed themselves to having an independent committee, which would examine all government advertising and clear it or otherwise.
And it would lay down principles which would establish the basis on which government advertising could proceed.
SENATOR JOHN FAULKNER: Sure, I'll have a look at what the Democrats might be promoting there, but I want to see strong guidelines that government agencies and departments are obligated to adhere to and I want to ensure that that is accepted by both houses of the Australian Parliament and that the Government signs off on them.

This was our second stay at the Banff Caribou Lodge. We had a nice time 2 years ago and decided to come back. We were in a 2nd floor room with 2 double beds, which are comfortable and clean. There is a little mini-fridge, which is nice when traveling with kids. Our view this time was not terribly great. We faced the adjacent parking lot of another hotel. Definitely ask for a room that faces the front street. Those rooms often have small Parisian balconies that open, which is nice in the summer. The front desk is very friendly and parking and wireless are included. The only suggestion I have is that if you want to eat at the Keg steakhouse restaurant downstairs, you should make reservations in advance. We waited over an hour to get in on a Thursday night. Lovely property, though! Would recommend to anyone.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):

Some Zoning discriminates
I am dismayed at the current zoning debate raging in Provo, which restricts the number of singles allowed to live together. In today's society of supposed equality, the idea of discrimination based on any type of status — in this case marital — flies in the face of everything I thought America stood for.
Making restrictions based on behavior such as noise, parking, upkeep of a home and safety concerns is one thing, but saying "you cannot live in my neighborhood because of who you are" is another thing entirely. As a wife and mother, I would be horrified if the government were to place restrictions on who could be a part of my family, or where we could live.
Yet that is exactly what this proposal does — and it is akin to sanctioning segregation in an attempt to enforce the hopes and expectations of some homeowners while ignoring the civil rights of others. It does not guarantee playmates for my girls, the church we would go to or the school we would attend. That is no one's job but mine — though the planning commission and Councilman David Knecht seem to think differently.
I would be doing my girls a disservice in teaching them that my rights can trample someone else's, and I would be depriving them of growth and diverse friendships if I limited who could live by us in fear it would "change the nature of the neighborhood." Provo needs all residents to have equal rights and decent housing, even the unmarried ones.
Sarah Ruff
Death by Zoning
Zoning laws were created as a restriction on the free use of property in order to prevent one person's use from destroying everybody else's -- to keep me, for instance, from turning my corner lot into a pig farm or a paper pulp factory.
But zoning laws quickly turned into a tool of snobbery and stupidity -- keeping the "riff-raff" out of rich neighborhoods, and separating people from everything they do. ...
Orson Scott Card
Get out and vote!
As a single student attending BYU and living in Provo, I've met with frustrations when looking for a rental house. Recently, ordinances concerning rental property have been put in place in areas like the tree streets that are not single student friendly.
I think part of the problem is that some people do not see BYU students as real members of the community. I personally have looked for ways to contribute to the community by volunteering at a local elementary school and with the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
Just because I don't plan to spend 20 years living in Provo doesn't mean I should be treated as a second-class citizen by long-term residents. It is too late to go register to vote today, but many students registered to vote in last year's presidential election. I strongly encourage these students to get out and vote[!]
[Some of the candidates are] not single students who need to look for approved housing around BYU campus. This task is getting harder and the prices are getting higher as a result of ordinance changes like those [some of the candidates] pushed for through grassroots activism in the "tree streets".

News : Covered California Signs Temporary Call Center Deal
Oct 1, 2014 -- Covered California has signed a contract for peak-time call center in south Sacramento that's expected to hire 500 people in the next 30 days.
InSync Consulting Services in Roseville is partnering with Virginia-based Faneuil on the deal. Faneuil just signed an agreement with the Washington Health Benefit Exchange for similar services as these programs gear up for the start of open enrollment Nov. 15.
"It's a ramp-up center for peak demand times," said Covered California spokesman James Scullary. "That's one of the lessons we learned the first year, so we are adding temporary staffing capacity to answer questions and enroll consumers."
InSync is a national provider of IT staffing and consulting services. The Roseville office is managed by Tim Coxen, an entrepreneur who helped found and grow a successful local nurse staffing business called Valley Healthcare Systems. The call center will be located off Interstate 5 in the Greenhaven area of Sacramento, he said.
Jobs at the new call center will pay $12 an hour to entry-level workers, $12.50 to entry-level workers who speak a second language besides English and $14 to $16 an hour for experienced team leaders. A few supervisory roles are left, too.

Physicians provide a number of health care and medical services, from helping patients develop healthier lifestyles to treating potentially fatal diseases. It's an important job, and one that requires the longest training period of any profession. As a physician, you need at least four years of undergraduate school, four years of medical school, and an internship and residency that typically lasts three to eight years. Small wonder that physicians and surgeons receive some of the highest salaries in the country. They averaged $190,060 a year as of May 2012, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. However, salaries vary significantly by specialty.
Topping the physician compensation list are anesthesiologists, who manage pain before, during and after surgery. They earned a mean annual $232,830 as of May 2012, according to the BLS. Those who worked in their own offices earned a mean $241,910 per year, while those employed by specialty hospitals that did not include psychiatry or substance abuse averaged $229,400. Among the states, anesthesiologists in Wyoming and Tennessee earned the highest average salaries. For metropolitan areas, Hartford, Conn., and Burlington, Vt. topped the list. The BLS did not list specific averages for these locations, noting instead that pay at all of them exceeded a mean $187,199 yearly.
Surgeons use invasive, minimally-invasive or non-invasive surgical methods to treat patients. The BLS reports that surgeons earned a mean $230,540 a year as of May 2012. Most worked for themselves and averaged $237,770 per year. However, the highest average pay, $238,120 yearly, was at specialty hospitals that did not include psychiatry or substance abuse. Top-paying states for surgeons were Wyoming and West Virginia. The top paying metro areas were Worcester, Mass., and Waterbury, Conn. In all these locations, average salaries were more than $187,199 per year.
Obstetricians and Gynecologists
Obstetricians and gynecologists focus on women's issues, especially those involving the reproductive system. They earned a mean $216,760 annually as of May 2012, according to the BLS. Most worked for and received their highest pay in their own offices, averaging a $223,070 a year. Among the states, Idaho ranked first and Oklahoma ranked second. The BLS did not list a specific average for Idaho, though it said obstetricians and gynecologists in Oklahoma averaged $249,960 a year. Among metro areas, Winston-Salem, N.C. and Warren, Mich., ranked at the top.
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons
Oral and maxillofacial surgeons handle injuries, diseases or defects by operating on the hard and soft tissues of the face and mouth. They earned a mean $216,440 per year as of May 2012. Most worked for dentists' offices to average $226,280 yearly, but their highest wages were in physicians' offices at a mean annual $230,350. Top-paying states for the profession were Washington and Utah, and the best-paying metropolitan areas were Lowell, Mass., and Seattle, Wash. Mean salaries at these locations exceeded an annual $187,199.

Scientists unveiled a new test that can detect cancer ten years before any symptoms appear at the British Science Festival in Swansea.
The test detects mutations in proteins on the surface of red blood cells.
In healthy people, the number of mutations of this type averages about five per million, but in cancer patients there can be 50 to 100 mutants per million.
These mutations do not have a role in the development of cancer, with the researchers describing the effect as "collateral damage" caused by the disease.
Discovering cancer early is a key factor in successful treatment.

Dollar beer, seriously, $101/03/2007
Chilkoot Charlie's (a.k.a. 'Koots') is such an awesome hangout. They have sports on the tvs, great music, different themed bars, it's ....awesome. You would think the cheap beer is cheap tasting, but they have a huge selection of great beers on tap for a dollar. A dollar! They also feature Sal's Grill, who has the best pizzas and calzones in Anchorage. To make it even better, Koots has a live band every night, Ettinger, Sonic Overdrive, as well as karaoke. Comedy shows all of the time. I just saw Doug Stanhope right before the New Year. Talk about bringing in the new year. I am amazed. Chilkoot Charlie's is by far, my favorite bar, and I will continue to go in for the drinks and surroundings. Thank you, Koots!
koots rocks!03/17/2006
I've gone to bars in las vegas and I'd choose koots over any bar in the us.
Good place for new people in town11/30/2005
Overall good, average priced drinks, a good place to meet people, friendly crowd. Multiple bars with different atmospheres and a stage for live music. The only negatives were the smoking and the cover charge.
User review by bookluvr6508/14/2005
Since the club scene is limited here in Anchorage, Koots is an alright place to go out drinking and dancing with your friends. The service certainly isn't the best. You have to wait too long for drinks and some of the staff are not very friendly. There doesn't seem to be any ventilation system so it gets extremely smokey and in the summer it can get unbearably hot because it gets so crowded and there is no air conditioning.
week day bar08/04/2005
this bar is only good during the week days, becuase after that it's not worth my time to spend 1 hour trying to get a drink when I can go home and make it in 10sec.
GREAT hosts, good crowd. Great place to go out and meet someone. Go early!
Lots of fun!11/02/2004
Chilkoots is a great place to have fun and meet a lot of different people. Only downside is that the mixed drinks are a little expensive, but if you like tap beer then this is the place to go for $1 beers.
wow!! party down02/12/2003
this is my second time going there and it rocks i love the band, the dj and the soo many places to mingle and alot of guys !!! Plus the drinks are awesome and good!!
Whatcha goin' do11/18/2002

Disclaimer: In the past two years since I last updated this story, I have not suddenly gained the rights to Elfen Leid... Sadly xD
Chapter 6 - In meditata etImpetum
The entire complex was in complete disarray.
Flashing lights indicating an unprecedented emergency; incapacitated, and in some cases; dead bodies lined the hallways of the building.
It was truly chaos.
This was the setting that a newly recruited operative found himself in. Looking around in a panic, he began to yell into the phone-shaped item in his hand.
"Intruders have been found in both sectors A, and B, and-SHIT, what the hell was that? Squad 10, do you copy, I repeat do you copy-GAH?"
Being cut off by a stray vector slamming him into a nearby wall, he dropped his receiver and watched in shock as it shattered into a million pieces.
Looking up fearfully at the one responsible for the destruction of his one and only form of long-range communication, he gulped at the hardened eyes of the Diclinous in front of him who stared back into his emotionlessly.
That was the last sight that the unnamed general ever bore witness to.
"Dammit kid, where the hell are we going, anyway?"
Kouta narrowed his eyes slightly.
"We're still following the plan right? Then we just gotta take out this floor, and leave the two above us to Nana and Seras. From what you've told us, the laboratory is actually largely based aboveground and they have little to no defence's underground, which was how we managed to get our way in here by boat so easily. All it took was to wait for nightfall for them to become unable to spot us anymore and-"
"Yeah yeah, I know that much already dumbass. I'm asking when the hell are we gonna finally get up there and kick the directors stupid ass. I've been waiting for this for weeks now, and I can't take much more of this crap."
The teen just sighed at the immature attitude of his companion, before speaking again.
"Look, I don't know what else to tell you other than, that we can't rush this operation. Like you said, they have the numbers, and while that may be all that they have, we can't afford to just rush up all the way to the Directors office without a plan."
A resigned sigh emanated from the right side of him, causing him to smirk slightly at the disgruntled look on Bando's face.
"Fine fine… I'll go along with the plan for now, but if it begins to take too long; no holds barred."
Kouta smiled slightly at the literal gun-hoe attitude of his companion before nodding.
"Alright, that sounds fair-wait, hold up."
Diving off to hide behind a wall partition to his side, he motioned for Bando to do the same.
Sighing at the 'disgusting' act of hiding and setting up a vantage point, he quickly made his way over to the teen, albeit agonizingly slowly.
Looking past the wall, he could see a group of five soldiers all huddled up in a group together.
He gnashed his teeth slightly.
'Alright, so maybe the kid was right to pull me over to hide from them for now… Still, I don't see why I can't just shoot them all down-'
He was cut-off, as the group of soldiers were all sent flying in different directions, unconscious in a matter of seconds.
Looking at the sight in shock, he gulped at the intimidating aura that the Diclonii who had committed the act.
"Damn kid, you got some scary friends."
Kouta just chuckled as he walked over to Nana and Seras, petting the former and smiling at the latter.
Grinning at the soldier, they continued walking on as if nothing happened.
"I know."
"Gah, dammit 'the hell's going on?"
Lucy looked up at the man yelling from behind the control panel in front of her in shock.
'He seems really worried about something… What is going on here?'
A loud sound akin to that of a gunshot suddenly rang out, as the entirety of the glass casing around the man in front of her blew up in a large explosion.
Narrowing her eyes slightly at the turn of events, she looked up at the ropes holding her body in place and gnashed her teeth.
'Well, I can be thankful that they only tied me up like they used to with Nana, otherwise I'd have no means of escape.'
This was a usual procedure for the Diclonius at this facility. They would be strung up and tortured until their spirit was utterly broken. Then, they would be placed in a metal casket in solitary confinement, with no outside interaction with the exception of the most basic aid that any human requires to survive.
She had already gone through it once, and she would be damned if she was going to go through it again.
Using the small inkling of strength that the girl had left in her beaten body, she sliced through the rather fragile bindings with the assistance of her vectors, and forced herself onto her feet.
Almost instantaneously, she fell to her knees in pain.
An unwarranted scream suddenly tore its way through her throat, as she began hugging her body weakly in an attempt to lessen the pain.
It only helped somewhat.
Biting her lip until it bled, she stood back up and with the assistance of the wall to the right of her, she began to make her way out of the room.
Looking at the dead bodies of the scientists behind the glass casing, she couldn't help but wonder why someone would come to this room in specific. There was no other reason that one could have to come down here, unless they knew exactly where she was.
But who the hell would not only purposefully break her out, but keep out of sight while they did so?
'This isn't normal, who the hell would attack the facility at this time-?'
Her eyes widened as realization struck her like running into a brick wall.
Pointedly ignoring the insane laughter of his battle-hardened companion, Kouta continued running through the hallways, with his gun in-hand and two Diclonius in-tow.
"Nana… where the hell is she anyway? I thought that you said that you knew where she would most likely be located at."
The pink-haired girl looked down slightly at that.
"Yeah… that's what I thought too, but it turns out that I was wrong, and they didn't put her where they had locked her up last time. It's because of this, that I think that we should take out the Director first before heading off to look for her, because knowing him, it might not be safe to let him move around while we are still in his building."
Kouta sighed at that. As much as he may wish he could deny it, he knew that what his friend was saying was the absolute truth.
Turning towards his friend, he spoke up again.
"How much farther do we need to go, to get up to the top floor?"
Nana spoke up for the rest of her allies.
"Well, considering the fact that we just passed by the third and final medical bay, I think that it should be right-THERE!"
She pushed open the door in front of her with the assistance of her vectors, and was put face-to-face with the man behind it all.
The Director.
Looking around the room, Kouta narrowed his eyes slightly.
'We have already taken out every single soldier on every one of the floors, so apart from the Director and his assistant, who are both right there… There should be no one left.'
Nodding slowly after his assessment, he turned towards the Director who actually looked… confident…?
"We have successfully taken out every single one of your soldiers and scientists on every floor, including this one."
He pointed towards the two behind the desk with narrowed eyes.
"You two are the only ones left."
Kakuzawa just grinned before addressing those who had entered his office.
"I must admit, I was not prepared at all for an attack of this calibre, and so… I suppose that I must fold."
He kept grinning the entire time, before suddenly pushing a button on his desk, bringing a monitor down from the ceiling with a stagnant picture on it.
He smirked widely and brought his arms above his head in an attempt to make what was on the screen seem that much more intimidating.
"BEHOLD! Your dear friend Lucy has been captured and is being held against her will in this holding chamber. Now, unless you drop your weapons and surrender, I will be forced to terminate her."
Kouta gnashed his teeth together, something was wrong. Something was very wrong.
There was nobody on the screen, it was utterly empty.
The holding cell was empty… As if she was never there in the first place.
A/N: Heyyyyyyyyy guys XD sooo… it's been what, 2-3 years since I updated? XD Yeah, I have no excuse, especially cuz when I started writing, it only took me about an hour or two to actually finish this chapter, and now I know exactly how I want this story to end but yeah :3. Like I said in the story summary, every chapter has been re-written and some of them have had more than just spelling and grammar corrections, so go ahead and re-read through them if you want to ;D :D. And yeah, I'll be posting the last couple chapters weekly until this story is finally done, so please review and stuff and I'll be sure to stick to it until its end :3.
Anyways, I'll see you guys next time! :D

Title's Rough Translation: The Premeditated Attack


text:
"The capital of ISIS" will be a reward to the Kurds for the faithful of the USA
The liberation of Raqqa, a planned opposition "Democratic forces of Syria" (VTS), may lead not only to the actual defeat of ISIS, but also to the less favourable consequences. Apparently, Washington is going to drive a new wedge between the Kurds and Damascus, and at the same time to take the "capital of ISIS" at the end of the Obama presidency.
A parallel attack on Raqqa Syrian government forces and opposition groups of SDS (SDF) in the English transcription) from the looks of the "race to win", continued for nearly a month, and the fate of the occupied LIH* the city seemed predestined. Meanwhile, expect an early release of the "ISIS capital" can hardly. Despite some weakening of the jihadist combat units, caused by fighting in neighboring Iraq, the city is still a sufficient garrison to liberation was delayed until at least autumn.
"The network has repeatedly come across pictures of Americans wearing the uniform chevrons YPG"
The difficulties encountered by the government troops moving into raqqa province, confirmed the latest news. So, according to U.K.-based Syrian Observatory for human rights", on Monday, the militants launched a counter-offensive and drove the army of Assad outside in the same province is the town of es-Saur. In the result of this "rapid counterattack" killed 40 Syrian soldiers. This is a dubious statement, however, is confirmed by "from the field" – "media companies" affiliated with jihadists, spreading the news about the significant damage caused by government forces and Shiite militia", the upcoming on the road Itria – raqqa, and the successful attack made on a Syrian military convoy near the oil fields As-Saura.
An additional factor that reduces the chances of government forces liberate Raqqa is the issue of Aleppo, where still tense urban fighting. For several reasons, control of Aleppo has to Damascus higher priority than unpromising the siege of thousands of the city. And hardly the army, forgetting about other areas, throw all available forces for the liberation of the capital of ISIS". Far more likely the role of "liberators" will get the SDS, or rather the Kurdish backbone of the organization – units of national defense of Syrian Kurdistan (YPG).
The representatives of the Syrian Kurdistan has long declared willingness YPG offensive in Raqqa. First started talking about this back in January of 2015 – after the liberation of the occupied Kobani ISIS and the relative strengthening of the cantons of Syrian Kurdistan. Of course, it was about the fact that the liberation of Raqqa will be the scenario of the battle for Kobani, that is, with substantial support by U.S. aircraft and loyal parts of the Free Syrian army. However, in the fall of 2015 Colonel Steve Warren, responsible for the operation "Unwavering commitment", said that he doubted the usefulness of the participation of YPG in the battle for Raqqa, and suggested that this task will implement another opposition ISIS and regime forces structure – the Syrian Arab coalition, a member (along with YPG) in the "umbrella" organization SDF.
At that time, the Pentagon in the person of Colonel doubted that the presence of Kurdish fighters would be appropriate on land belonging to the Arab population, however to date, the U.S. position has changed – at the end of April, after landing on the Kurdish airfield Rumeilan, SDF joined the American instructors. Most likely, they are responsible for the preparation of the "democratic forces" to liberate Raqqa, at the same time preventing any inter-ethnic clashes are repeatedly come across pictures of Americans wearing the uniform chevrons YPG.
In this context, the rumors that raqqa after his release can join the cantonal system of the Syrian Kurdistan, are quite ambiguous. It is obvious that after the main forces of the Syrian group ISIL will be discarded. SDF, and YPG will be the heroes of the day" and the actual conductors of American interests, showing an example of a credible opposition "to the regime of Bashar al-Assad."
At the same time, the transition Raqqa under "the cantonal government" will cause significant cooling of relations between Syrian Kurdistan and the official Damascus, which will inevitably entail a variety of consequences, up to clashes between YPG and government forces.
It is impossible to exclude that rate to recreate the "Great Kurdistan" can be one of the main points of American middle East policy to be "restarted" after the presidential election. In this context, Syrian Kurdistan are likely prepared for the role of "conductor" of alleged Syrian federalization, it is beneficial to Washington.
It can be assumed that the integrity of the Syrian-Iraqi border in the next six months will be provided to US through a collaboration with completely dependent on the States of the "New Syrian army" and the troops of the Iraqi "Peshmerga", and raqqa is liberated from the jihadist forces of the SDF by November 2016. Ideally, the "battling ISIS" should be a spectacular end to the political career of Barack Obama, and subsequent years will likely be marked by the attempt of federalization of Syria, and regardless of which candidate wins the presidential race in the United States.
As for the Russian side, she still has the ability to influence the Syrian Kurdistan and, if necessary, to mediate in the negotiations between the Kurdish leadership and Damascus to reach a compromise over the ownership of Raqqa. However, recent statements of the United States made clear that time for this is not so much.
