Winning a high-profile case has given a huge boost to New York attorney DeAngelo Di Meglio's career - and his love life. Too bad fame hasn't helped him win the woman he's been infatuated with for years. Tired of waiting and wondering, Angelo books a trip to the singles-only Bahamas resort where Peyton Mahoney is celebrating her thirtieth birthday. And just as he hoped, when they finally connect, the chemistry is mind-blowing....
Two weeks in paradise has given Peyton some sizzling memories. That's all she expects - or wants - from a legendary player like Angelo. Having grown up on Chicago's South Side, she is worlds away from his life of privilege. Then a controversial case puts them on opposing sides. And as sexual tension spills over from the courtroom to the bedroom, there's no way they can ignore the undeniable attraction....

"Once Again, a Winner"
Yes! It has just the right amount of romance and eroticism that makes it believable and stimulating.
A Madaris Christmas Wedding
Yes I have and it is spot on. He has a very sexy voice that pairs just right with the books he reads.
"Courting Justice"
This book was one of the best book I have read. Thank you for that . Can't wait for the movie or tv show about the Madaris's
"not her best work"
slow storyline. the ending appeared rush. I love Jackson's book but this was not her best
"New narrator please"
I love the narrator's deep voice but just can't understand why he chose to drag out the female characters lines. It was like he paused after every word. Is that how he thinks women talk? The story itself was OK but Peyton and her way of thinking got on my nerves.
"Loved It !"
Another great love story! Best moment in the story is when she realized just how much she loved him.....in his office😊!
"A beautiful sto story"
I really loved the story. Once again Brenda deliver's a great story full of drama and cliff hangers but then it all comes together in the end. I am now making a start on the Madris series. I can't wait to get stuck in.

'Equality for all, not just for certain people' - Petition against gay marriage rights sent to Justice Minister
A petition seeking a 'conscience clause' allowing people to ignore gay marriage in some circumstances has been sent to the Minister for Justice Frances Fitzgerald.
Citing recent controversies where businesses have been brought to court for refusing gay couples as customers, a collection of Christian, Muslim, and Quaker groups have asked the minister to "ensure the referendum guarantee equality for all".
"If we are having this referendum on the firm belief of equality then also we should allow people with consciences objections as well," said Dr Ali Selim, of the Islamic Cultural Centre of Ireland in Dublin.
"What we are asking for is that we are not forced to endorse a practice that is in conflict with our fate."
"It is the freedom of choice not to have views imposed on our religious beliefs."

The document states that the religious bodies disagree strongly with the proposed "aggressive secularism" constitutional changes, and warns if passed under their current wording, would discriminate against people opposed to gay marriage for religious reasons who will "risk prosecution" if they hold firm to their beliefs "in employment, worship or social interaction."
Speaking on Newstalk's Lunchtime, Dr Selim said "safeguards" were needed to protect those that disagreed with same-sex relationships from having to go against their beliefs by law.
If a 'conscience clause' was included by Minister Fitzgerald, it would mean that businesses would be allowed to refuse services related to gay couples.
Read More: Freedom of speech has limits, says Islam scholar
Challenged that businesses have the right to refuse to serve customers, Dr Selim said that some "would find themselves being put into a corner or taken to court by people over their refusal to go against their fate."
Adding: "Who decides what discrimination is? Of course decisions should be made in light of Irish law – but if Irish law says you've got to endorse something against your beliefs that is discrimination."
"And that is exactly why we are campaigning – so that there is equality for all, not just for certain people."
Speaking earlier in the week, Dr Selim, who threatened to use Ireland's blasphemy laws to stop any Irish media outlet from republishing the Charlie Hebdo cartoons, said "no Muslim would vote yes" in the referendum.

Although many neighborhoods are gritty and numerous buildings await restoration, the urban fabric is fairly breathtaking. It includes imposing late sixteenth-century harbor fortifications that recall the city's importance as a transshipment point between Europe and the Americas; the dramatic mid-eighteenth-century baroque San Cristóbal Cathedral; extraordinary neoclassical mansions built by sugar and coffee magnates; a monumental National Capitol Building, commissioned in 1926 in emulation of the U.S. Capitol; and Beaux-Arts, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, and Soviet-modernist commercial and residential buildings set in a lucid grid of streets and boulevards.

We exist to empower our clients to make sound decisions that lead to financial health and retirement confidence in the midst of an uncertain world.
Gregory Lozon joined Accelerated Wealth with a distinguished career as a leader and innovator. After serving our country in the US Air Force, Gregory excelled in law enforcement in the metropolitan Detroit area.
Always carrying a passion for cars and financing, Gregory began selling cars and worked his way to general manager of several large area dealerships. After 15 successful years in sales and management, Gregory narrowed his focus in 2002 into the finance and insurance arena. He began showing auto dealership owners how to increase profits using creative, yet relatively unknown financing and insurance strategies. These strategies eventually led Gregory to Accelerated Wealth.
Gregory has spent the last several years studying, introducing, educating and training clients and other professionals throughout the country on financial strategies. Gregory now focuses on educating and helping clients in Michigan from his offices in Sterling Heights and Saint Clair. He sees his role with Accelerated Wealth as the culmination of his lifelong desire to help individuals and business owners create systematic financial certainty throughout their lives.
Gregory is a native of Detroit where he has always taken pride in helping his community. Gregory is currently active in numerous civic activities and holds leadership positions in several fraternal organizations. Gregory and his wife Diane are proud parents of their five children, eight grandchildren and their Chocolate Labrador Maggie.
Craig Wagenschutz began his career with a local CPA firm in the metro Detroit area in 1981. Working with individuals and businesses he gained valuable experience and determined in 1987 that it was time to strike off on his own and founded Wagenschutz and Associates P.C. Shortly thereafter he was introduced to a retirement-minded practitioner who asked Craig to buy his practice, virtually doubling the size of the surviving firm with Craig now as the CEO and owner. This experience in managing a growing business would prove valuable when advising other growing businesses later in his career. With his desire to grow both the business and personally, several other business affiliations followed.
In 1996 at the request of several of his key client Craig became one of the first practicing CPAs to be licensed in both Securities and Life and Health Insurance in the state of Michigan. This allowed him to fill a need for many of his clients that had not previously been available. Later he would be asked to serve as Chief Financial Officer for Megola, Incorporated a publicly traded company located in Point Edward, Ontario, Canada. While the knowledge and experience gained was invaluable, it became clear rather quickly that this was not his true calling.
At the end of 2010, with the markets having changed, Craig determined it was time to look for other alternatives. He was certain there must be a better way to help people prepare for and retire safely, with confidence. Shortly thereafter, he was introduced to Accelerated Wealth. This has proven to be a natural fit as the core beliefs of this Christian-based organization fit perfectly with Craig's.
Craig currently lives in Michigan, just northeast of Detroit, with his wife Sue. They have raised two adult children and recently became proud grandparents for the first time. Together they enjoy traveling, gardening, and playing golf. He is excited to share his knowledge and experience, which allows him to say that he is truly a wealth strategist, not merely just another financial advisor.

I worked 11PM-7AM for 24 years. I actually liked working those hours. But, the hours didn't like me. I had trouble sleeping, as you likely have also. I took some advice from someone who had worked mid-shits far longer than I had. He said to get aluminum foil and put it all around the inside of your windows in the room that you will be sleeping. The wife didn't like that. So, she would take them out during the day before I went to sleep (usually around 4PM). You need quiet time during your sleep time. That's not usually feasible if you have kids. So, what I did was opt for white noise. I would put a small fan in my room at high speed. At first, the fan kept me awake. But, I got used to it quickly. That drowned out most noise and I slept like a baby.
If you going to stay on that night shift, your body has to adjust. It's going to take some time to do that. Best of luck to you.

A Man, an Economic Plan--and Not Much Backup
Three days after President George W. Bush unveiled his $674 billion economic package on Jan. 7 amid catcalls from Democrats, The New York Times ran an opinion column that was a ringing defense of the plan. The author: Lawrence B. Lindsey, recently dumped as Bush's chief economic adviser, in a purge that also cost Treasury Secretary Paul H. O'Neill his job. It wasn't until two days later that Lindsey's replacement, former Wall Street exec Stephen Friedman, chimed in with his own op-ed piece backing the plan, this time in The Washington Post. Since then, Friedman has uttered nary a peep in public in defense of its plan. Not until Jan. 28, when the President plugged his package in the State of the Union address and Treasury Secretary-designate John W. Snow did the same in his Senate confirmation hearings, did the Administration rev up its pitch.
Does this strike anyone as odd? It should. Due in part to his decision to clean house in December, Bush, who has a well-earned reputation as a policy supersalesman, has had few high-ranking lieutenants to call on when the opposition flak intensified. And the preoccupation with crises in Iraq and Korea has distracted the Administration even further. Says one insider: "It's hard to do several big things at once."
The result: For the first time in memory, Bush's political foes have gained the upper hand in the rhetorical battle over policy. Opponents have succeeded in branding the program as a deficit-buster skewed to the wealthy. A Jan. 16-20 ABC News/Washington Post poll found that 61% of Americans believe the President's approach tilts to the rich, while just 7% say the middle class is the major beneficiary.
The big problem is that the President's top two economic spokesmen have been largely on the sidelines. Snow remained silent until his Senate confirmation hearing. Friedman is being kept under deep cover by the White House after conservatives complained that his past opposition to big deficits would mute his support for hefty tax cuts. And Council of Economic Advisers Chairman R. Glenn Hubbard, the architect of Bush's dividend-exclusion idea, is preparing to leave the administration after failing to win the No. 2 Treasury post.
That means the White House faces an uphill struggle in turning things around. Bush briefly plugged his economic plan in his Jan. 28 State of the Union, arguing that his tax cut was "for everyone who pays income taxes--and it will help our economy immediately." But unlike the enthusiastic public response to Bush's tough words on Iraq, reaction to his economic message was mixed. According to a post-speech Gallup Poll, just 49% of viewers said Bush's plan would get the country out of its current economic problems.
It'll be up to Snow and Friedman to increase that support. Friedman has been huddling behind closed doors with financial execs and business reps. And at his Senate hearing, Snow lauded the plan as "an investment in the American people and their future." With his confirmation assured, he's likely soon to hit the road to bolster support.
But the efforts of Friedman and Snow could be complicated by their long-standing fear of red ink. At his hearing, Snow was grilled on his rationale for supporting a tax cut that could help create the biggest deficit in U.S. history. A huge deficit would harm the economy and financial markets, he acknowledged, but added, "We're a long way from there."
Facing a tough sales job on Capitol Hill, the White House is signaling that it is open to eventual horse-trading, particularly on the controversial centerpiece of the package, the dividend tax cut. Bush "realizes he's not going to get some of his package," says American University professor of government James A. Thurber. "He's going to have to compromise."
That message is echoed by an influential bloc of Republicans on Capitol Hill. "We might have to look at alternatives," says House Ways & Means Committee Chairman William M. Thomas (R-Calif.). "It's not my job to say `attaboy'; it's my job to pass legislation." And Senate Finance Committee honcho Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) privately doubts the proposal can clear the Senate as proposed and is scrambling to craft an alternative that can win a majority. Among the key votes: a group of centrist GOP senators who believe Bush's plan does not provide enough immediate economic stimulus and costs too much over 10 years.
Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan also did little to build support for the package when he met with Senate moderates on Jan. 23. While he fervently supports ending double taxation of dividends as a way to improve long-term growth, Greenspan acknowledged that repeal would do little to stimulate the economy in the short run.
White House advisers insist that it is far too early to make concessions. Instead, they plan to signal their flexibility and keep busy trying to rally public support for the proposal--thereby strengthening their position at the bargaining table later in the process. But even supporters say the White House needs to hone its pitch. "Bush needs to do a better sales job, making the supply-side case that growth causes revenue expansion that can help finance both war and economic recovery," says Stephen Moore, president of the Club for Growth, a group advocating tax cuts.
Of course, Bush has often rallied when faced with a seemingly intractable political problem. But now that he is in Commander-in-Chief mode, Bush will have to leave most of the arm-twisting campaign to an economic team that's still learning the ropes in Washington.

This application is a division of application Ser. No. 263,510, filed May 14, 1981, now U.S. Pat. 4,391,329.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a composition and method for completing offshore wells. More particularly, the invention relates to such a composition and to a method for use of the composition in the cementing of casing of such wells wherein there is injected into the annular space between the sidewall of the well and the casing, after completion of the drilling operation and placement of the casing in the well and just prior to placement of the cement slurry therein, a marker fluid which is distinctively different in color from both the cement slurry and the drilling fluid and therefor visually distinguishable therefrom.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Drilling an offshore well represents many difficulties not encountered in drilling wells onshore. In drilling an offshore well, drilling is usually started by lowering to the bottom of the body of water, from a platform or a floating vessel, a drill string having attached to the bottom thereof a pilot drill bit to drill a pilot hole 20 to 200 feet deep. This pilot hole is then enlarged to a diameter of about 36 inches by successively redrilling the hole with one or two larger diameter bits. Salt water is used as a drilling fluid during drilling of this pilot hole. The salt water is circulated down the drill string, through the drill bit, up the annulus between the sidewall of the borehole and the drill string and out into the surrounding water. The salt water in the bore hole is then displaced by drilling mud. A conductor pipe is lowered into the borehole and cemented in place by displacing the drilling mud by circulating a cement slurry down the casing itself or down the drill string, out a guide shoe on the bottom of the drill string, up the annulus and out into the surrounding water. When the annulus has been filled with cement slurry, the well is shut in until the cement sets. Drilling is then continued to a depth of about 2,000 to 5,000 feet and the next string of casing referred to as "surface casing" cemented in place much as described above. To complete a well it is necessary to subsequently drill to greater depths and cement in place a string of intermediate casing and finally a liner.
In the above-described cementing operations, one of the more difficult aspects is in determining when all of the drilling fluid has been displaced from the annulus by the cement slurry, i.e., when the annulus is filled with cement. The fluids are displaced from the annulus out into the surrounding water at the top of the borehole. Both the drilling fluid and the cement slurry are opaque fluids with approximately the same color. Thus, the water around the borehole in which casing is being cemented becomes quite murky. This makes its difficult for either divers or underwater cameras to detect when all of the drilling fluid has been displaced and cement slurry has filled the annulus and is starting to emerge from the annulus. For a competent cement job, it is essential that the cement slurry completely fill the annulus. At the same time it is not desired to waste cement slurry or rig time by pumping an excessive amount of valuable material out into the surrounding water.
Additionally, in the upper portions of a well the integrity of the reservoir being drilled can be quite low and unpredictable. The cross-sectional area of the annulus may vary considerably at different depths and be difficult to measure. Therefor, it is difficult to calculate the volume of the annulus which would indicate the volume of cement slurry required.
Broadly, hydraulic cement is made by blending together a calcareous material such as limestone, and an argillaceous material, such as clay or shale and feeding the blend into a rotary kiln at high temperature where it fuses into a material called cement clinker. The clinker is cooled, pulverized and blended with a small amount of gypsum which controls the setting time of the finished cement. When mixed with water, the clinkered products hydrate and form a hardened cement. Over the years a very large number of materials have been added to cement slurries in an attempt to modify their properties and/or setting characteristics. Such additives include setting time accelerators, setting time retarders, light weight additives, heavy weight additives, lost circulation control agents, filtration control agents, friction reducers and the like. In some cements not used in wells, coloring agents have been used to impart an attractive appearance to the set cement.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,376,146 to Mitchell covers a low density cement composition for use in wells comprising an aqueous slurry of Portland cement and particulate carbon, e.g., ground anthracite coal, lignite coal, bituminous coal, graphite, petroleum coke or coke derived from coal.
U.S. Pat. No. 2,609,882 to Morgan et al. describes a composition for cementing wells which composition overcomes the adverse effect of lengthening the setting time of cement slurry contaminated with drilling fluid containing certain additives such as caustic or quebracho. The cement composition comprises an aqueous slurry of Portland cement and activated carbon, such as that derived from coconuts, cane sugar, kelp, coal, lignite and the like.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,006,031 to Ferch et al. describes an aqueous dispersion of carbon black and a fluoride-containing anionic or nonionic surfactant for adding to a mineral binding system such as clear concrete to impart outside weather stability and durable black pigmentation.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,117,882 to Herschler et al. covers a colored cement composition containing a coloring composition comprising a substantially water-insoluble pigment such as carbon black admixed with a dialkyl sulfoxide.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,043,828 to Gaines covers a cement slurry having a reduced tendency to shrink prior to hardening. The slurry contains, in addition to a hydraulic cement and water, a particulate carbonaceous material such as delayed coke or naturally occurring coal, for example anthracite, bituminous or lignite coal.
U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,069,870, 4,114,692, 4,144,077 and 4,200,153 to Gallus concern a high temperature cement composition for wells containing, as an additive to resist degradation of the compressive strength, carbon black, anthracite, calcined coke, uncalcined coke, burned oil shale or raw oil shale.
While each of the aforementioned compositions has met with some success in particular applications, the need exists for a further improved composition useful not as a cementing composition itself but in placing a cementing composition in a desired location.
Accordingly, it is a principal object of this invention to provide a composition and method useful in positioning a cementing composition in the annulus of an offshore well.
It is a further object of this invention to provide such a composition and method wherein the annulus can be completely filled with the cementing composition.
It is a still further object of this invention to provide such a composition and method wherein the filling of the annulus with cement is visually observable underwater.
It is another object of this invention to provide such a composition and method wherein the completeness of the displacement by the cementing composition of the fluid occupying the annulus following drilling and placement of the casing in the hole is improved.
Other objects, advantages and features of the invention will be apparent from the following description and claims.
A marker fluid composition and method of use thereof in placing a cementing composition in the annulus surrounding the casing of an offshore well comprising:
(a) 100 parts by weight of dry cement,
(b) about 35 to 56 parts by weight of water,
(c) about 5 to 8 parts by weight of particulate carbon black,
(d) about 4 to 6.4 parts by weight of coal dust, and
(e) about 0.52 to 0.84 parts by weight of surface active agent.
A borehole is drilled offshore and filled with a drilling fluid which is generally relatively light in color. A string of casing is positioned in the borehole, the lower end of the casing being near the bottom of the borehole. An injection string is run inside the casing and the annular space between the casing and the injection string packed off near the bottom of the casing. A slug of about 2 to 20 barrels of the black colored marker fluid followed by a slug of cement slurry is injected via the conduit to the bottom of the borehole and up into the annular space between the sidewall of the borehole and the casing to displace therefrom the drilling fluid which flows out into the water at the mud line or sea floor. The area at the sea floor is observed. When the material emerging from the annulus is observed to change in color from relatively light to black, it is known that the drilling mud has been displaced by marker fluid and cement. Since the volume of marker fluid used is small, it is also known that the annulus is now substantially filled with cement slurry. Also the marker fluid contains cement and will solidify. Injection of fluids is stopped, cement slurry is purged from the injection string, if such an injection string is used, and the well is shut in until the cement slurry occupying the annulus has set.
In cementing conductor pipe and surface casing in an offshore well, it is difficult to determine when the annulus between the casing and the sidewall of the borehole is filled with cement slurry. Any fluid displaced from the annulus flows out into the surrounding water rather than being circulated to a mud pit as in the case of most wells drilled onshore. Due to the murky conditions of the water surrounding most offshore wells, and the fact that the fluid being displaced from the annulus, a drilling mud, has about the same relatively light colored appearance under the conditions of observation as the cement slurry doing the displacing, it is difficult to determine when all of the fluid being displaced has in fact been displaced and cement slurry occupies the entire annulus. Calculation of the volume of cement slurry required for displacement from a knowledge of the diameter of the drill bit used, the depth of the borehole and the size of the casing has proven highly inaccurate due to the fact that the strata being drilled, especially that near the mud line, is often highly incompetent and tends to slough and wash out making the diameter of the borehole irregular, uncertain and usually enlarged to an unknown degree.
These and related problems are solved by injecting into the annulus just ahead of the cement slurry the marker fluid of the instant invention which is black in color and thus distinctively different in color from both the fluid which it displaces and the subsequently injected cement slurry which are relatively light in color. During the cementing operation the appearance of the fluid being displaced from the annulus out into the water is observed, as by an underwater television camera or a diver. When it is observed that the color of the fluid emerging from the borehole has changed from the color of the drilling fluid to the color of the marker fluid, pumping of the cement slurry is either stopped or continued only long enough for the small volume of marker fluid used to be displaced out into the water by cement slurry. The marker fluid contains cement and will set. Alternatively, during this latter pumping operation in which the marker fluid is being completely displaced from the annulus, cement slurry may be at least partially displaced from the injection conduit, if used, by pumping a suitable non-setting displacement fluid, such as a drilling mud or water, rather than additional cement slurry. When the marker fluid has been completely displaced, further injection is stopped or continues only long enough to displace all of the cement slurry out of the injection conduit. If necessary the injection conduit can be purged of any remaining cement slurry, as by reverse circulation down the annular space between the casing and the injection conduit and up the injection conduit. The well is shut in for a length of time sufficient for the cement slurry to set, generally about 6 to 24 hours depending on the particular cement slurry employed and the downhole conditions. The well is then ready for drilling to greater depths or known completion operations. In setting casing strings at greater depths, the cement slurry is usually circulated to the surface and into a mud pit rather than being displaced into the water at the sea floor. In such instances where the fluid being displaced from the annulus can be observed directly, there is no need to employ a marker fluid.
The marker fluid is a composition which has essentially the same density, flow characteristics and setting characteristics as cement slurry. When displacing drilling fluid or being displaced by cement slurry during flow through a conduit, the marker fluid does not mix appreciably with either of the other fluids. The marker fluid contains:
(a) 100 parts by weight dry cement,
(b) about 35 to 56 parts by weight water,
(c) about 5 to 8 parts by weight particulate carbon black,
(d) about 4 to 6.4 parts by weight coal dust, and
(e) about O.52to 0.84 parts by weight surface active agent.
In order to more distinctively designate which fluid is being displaced from the annulus at any point in time during the cementing operation, it is desired that the marker fluid displace the drilling fluid from the annulus as completely as possible. Likewise it is desired that the cement slurry subsequently displace the marker fluid as completely as possible. Mixing of the marker fluid either with the drilling fluid or the cement slurry should be minimized. However, all three of the fluids are usually aqueous based compositions which tend to mix when in contact. Also, during cementing operations it is often the practice to pump the cement slurry at a relatively high rate so that the slurry moves through the injection string and the annulus in turbulent flow. Thus, there are factors which encourage the mixing of the marker fluid both with the drilling fluid which it displaces and with the cement slurry which follows it. In spite of these adverse factors, it is found that the marker fluid of this invention does not mix appreciably either with the drilling fluid or the cement slurry during the cementing operation.
The choice of cement used as an ingredient in both the marker fluid and the cement slurry is any available hydraulic cement. Usually the same type of cement is used in each composition. Normally, the cement will be a Portland-type oil well cement of one of the classes and types specified by The American Petroleum Institute (API) specification 1OA. Depending on the well depth and environment in which the cement is to be used, it will be selected from one of the API classes A through J and will be formulated as an ordinary, moderate sulfate resistant, or high sulfate resistant type cement. The basis for selection of a particular class and type of cement for use in the cement system is well understood by those skilled in the art and is dependent, among other things, upon the depth at which the cement is intended to be used, the temperature, the desired physical requirements and the chemical environment to which the cement mass is to be subjected. In addition, curing time is an important factor in selecting a particular class and type of cement. Typically, the cement utilized in the present invention will be class A, B, C, G or H which are formulated for oil well use at depths of from the surface to about 6,000 feet.
Besides the oil well cements discussed above, other types of cements, including conventional Portland construction cement, can also be utilized in the present invention. For example, high alumina and pozzolan type cements, which are noted for high temperature resistance and high durability under severe environments, for example contact by sea water, are useful. In addition, cements comprising mixtures of Portland cement and pozzolans or fly ash are also excellent cements. In addition, lightweight cement made from Portland cement and calcined shale, thixotropic cement made from Portland cement and calcium sulfate hemihydrate, and expanding cement made from Portland cement and calcium sulfoaluminate can all be employed.
The cement slurry of the present invention may also include any of the conventional additives utilized to alter the setting, curing or physical properties of the cement. These additives are used in the porportions ordinarily specified for conventional cement slurry. For example, various accelerators such as calcium chloride may be used to speed up the setting of the cement. Similarly various retarders may be added to the cement composition to retard the setting of the cement thereby to render the cement slurry pumpable for a longer period of time than would be the case if no additives were used. Typical retarders include free lime, calcium sulfate (as gypsum or plaster of Paris), starches, cellulose products, sugars and the like.
Other additives include the water loss preventatives such as, for example, methyl hydroxy cellulose and ethyl hydroxy cellulose, which serve to prevent separation of the slurry water during pumping and setting of the cement. Similarly lost circulation materials such as gilsonite and density adjusters such as hematite and barite may be used.
In preparing cement slurries used in the process of this invention there is generally employed about 109.5 to 115.2 parts by weight dry cement and additives and about 35 to 52 parts by weight water to form a slurry of pumpable consistency.
The density of most drilling fluids is less than that of most cement slurries. It is preferable that the density of the marker fluid be about the same as or somewhat less than the density of the cement slurry. Thus, the density of the marker fluid is greater than that of the drilling fluid which it displaces. The density of the marker fluid and the cement slurry is typically about 10 to 22 pounds per gallon. The density of the drilling fluid is about 8.7 to 20 pounds per gallon. The viscosity of the marker fluid and cement slurry ranges from about 10 to 700 centipoises at atmospheric conditions. The viscosity of drilling fluid under similar conditions is about 2 to 200 centipoises.
Attempts to compound a marker fluid by adding particulate carbon black to cement slurry are unsuccessful because not enough carbon black can be added to impart a distinctive color to the composition before the cement slurry becomes too viscous to flow and be pumped. When additional water is added to the system the carbon black still can not be readily mixed in because the carbon black is difficult to water wet. When a surface active agent is added to the system, the desired amount of carbon black can be mixed in, but the resulting mixture is relatively low in density. This low density material is not efficient in displacing drilling fluid from the annulus. With the addition of coal dust to the composition, the marker fluid has both pumpability and the desired density.
Particulate carbon black is used in the marker fluid primarily to provide a dark black color. The combustion of fuels with insufficient air produces a black smoke containing extremely black particles which when separated from the combustion gases, comprise a fluffy powder of intense blackness. Any of the well known finely divided forms of carbon black made by the incomplete combustion or thermal decomposition of natural gas or petroleum oil can be used. The principal types of carbon black include those made by the oil furnace process, the thermal decomposition process, the acetylene black process, the lampblack process and the channel black process. The particle size distribution and surface area of the carbon black employed is not believed critical. Carbon blacks having a mean particle size between about 15 and 250 microns and surface areas between about 5 and 350 square meters per gram are believed suitable. Particularly preferred is channel black having the aforementioned properties.
Coal dust is used in the marker fluid primarily to impart a higher specific gravity. Coal, being a naturally occurring material resulting from the accumulation and burial of partially decayed plant matter over earlier geological ages, occurs in a wide variety of forms and compositions. Coal is composed chiefly of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen with small amounts of nitrogen and sulfur and varying amounts of moisture and ash or mineral impurities. Coal being relatively friable readily forms dust during mining and subsequent handling operations. Dust generated in coal preparation plants, such as during pulverization or other handling, is collected as in gravity settling chambers, internal separators, centrifugal collectors, for example, cyclone separators, wet scrubbers, and by fabric filters. The coal dust particles range in size from less than 1 micron to about 20 microns. Coal, excluding peat, is broadly classified by the American Society for Testing Materials as Class I anthracite, Class II bituminous, Class III sub-bituminous and Class IV lignite. Coal dust for use in the marker fluid can be anthracite, bituminous or sub-bituminous. Anthracite coal dust is preferred. Lignite is not suitable due to its relatively low density. Also marker fluids containing lignite dust were found to have a tendency to mix with both drilling fluid and cement slurry when pumped through a conduit between these two fluids. Marker fluids containing one of the other coal dust materials showed relatively less mixing in similar tests.
The particulate carbon black is difficult to water wet and mix uniformly into the marker fluid. Thus, a water-soluble or water-dispersible surface active agent is used to improve the ease with which carbon black can be blended into the marker fluid. Any of the well known anionic, nonionic or amphoteric surface active agents can be used. Typical operable surface active agents are alkyl aryl sulfonates, fatty alcohol sulfates, sulfated and sulfonated amides and amines, sulfated and sulfonated esters and ethers, alkyl sulfonates, the condensation products of a fatty material with ethylene or propylene oxide, the condensation products of phenolic compounds having lateral aliphatic groups with ethylene oxide, amphoteric derivatives of polypeptides, substituted imidazolines, alkyl aminopropionates and dipropionates, carboxylated organic derivatives of ammonium hydroxide and the like. Specific surfactants which can be used are ammonium isopropyl benzene sulfonate, dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate, nonyl phenol condensed with 10 moles of ethylene oxide, and N-tallow -3-iminodipropionate, disodium salt. The anionic surface active agents are preferred.
Broadly, the marker fluid can be prepared by mixing the ingredients in any order desired. Since only a small slug of marker fluid is used, it is generally prepared batchwise at the surface. Alternatively, the marker fluid can be prepared by jet mixing wherein the dry ingredients are blended into a mixture of water and surface active agent being pumped down an injection string. In batch mixing it is preferred to add the surface active agent to the water in a suitable mixing tank with agitation. While agitation is continued the particulate carbon black and coal dust are added in any order or simultaneously. Finally, the dry cement is mixed in.
Since a cement slurry is required to cement the casing, it is often convenient to use a portion of this readily available slurry in preparing the marker fluid. A unit weight of marker fluid contains more water per unit weight of dry cement than does the cement slurry unless a very light weight type cement is being used. There is placed in a mixing tank the quantity of water required to prepare a given quantity of marker fluid which is in excess of the amount of water which would be provided if the dry cement is instead subsequently added in the form of a cement slurry. The surface active agent is stirred into this quantity of water followed by carbon black and coal dust added in any desired order. Finally a suitable amount of cement slurry is mixed in to provide the cement and the remainder of the water.
The invention is further illustrated by the following examples which are illustrative of various aspects of the invention and are not intended as limiting the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
A laboratory test is made in which 100 grams of a drilling fluid containing 10 parts by weight bentonite and 90 parts by weight water, having a weight of 8.82 pounds per gallon and a viscosity of 92 centipoises, is placed in a 6-inch long section of glass tubing having an inside diameter of 2 inches. An 18-inch long section of 1/2-inch inside diameter flexible plastic tubing is attached to the section of glass tubing to form a U tube. The height of the plastic tubing is adjusted to be slightly higher than the height of the section of glass tubing. There is poured into this plastic tubing 50 grams of black marker fluid containing 15 parts by weight water, 0.2 part by weight ammonium isopropyl benzene sulfonate anionic surface active agent, 2 parts by weight bituminous coal dust, 1 part by weight carbon black made by the oil furnace process, and 71 parts by weight cement slurry containing 48 parts by weight A.P.I. class C cement 31 parts by weight water. Next there is poured into this plastic tubing 100 grams of cement slurry containing 69 parts by weight A.P.I. class C cement and 22 parts by weight water. It is observed that the marker fluid displaces the drilling fluid from the glass tubing leg of the U tube. Subsequently the cement slurry displaces the marker fluid from the glass tubing leg of the U tube. No evidence of mixing of any of the three fluids in the glass tubing is visually observed during the test. By observing the fluid coming out of the top of the glass tubing, it is readily apparent whether the fluid being displaced is drilling fluid, marker fluid or cement slurry.
A well is drilled at an offshore location in 250 feet of water. A metal template having a central opening approximately 40 inches in diameter is lowered to the bottom with drill pipe from a drilling platform. A 121/4-inch diameter pilot hole is drilled to a depth of 200 feet using salt water for a drilling fluid and a split-centering guide to start the hole. This hole is opened up using an 181/2-inch and a 36-inch drill bit successively and then filled with aqueous base drilling mud. 30-inch diameter well conductor pipe topped with a spherical centering hanger fitting into the template is lowered into the hole by 41/2-inch diameter drill pipe made up in a duplex float collar and having attached to the bottom of the conductor pipe a duplex float shoe. After the conductor pipe is in place, drilling mud is circulated down the drill pipe, out the float shoe and up the annulus between the sidewall of the well and the conductor pipe and out into the water surrounding the borehole to establish circulation through the annulus. Next a 5 barrel slug is marker fluid is pumped down the drill pipe. The 5 barrels of marker fluid is prepared by placing 379 pounds water in a mixing tank and mixing therein 114 pounds nonyl phenol condensed with 10 moles ethylene oxide surface active agent. Next there is stirred into the composition 43 pounds anthracite coal dust and 54 pounds channel black. Next 1,929 pounds cement slurry comprising 553 pounds water and 1,376 pounds A.P.I. class A Portland cement is added to form the marker fluid. Finally, the marker fluid is followed by a cement slurry comprising 45 parts by weight water and 112 parts by weight A.P.I. class A Portland cement. The color of the fluid coming out of the annulus into the surrounding water is observed by an underwater black and white television camera positioned near the borehole. After 80 barrels of cement slurry have been pumped, the fluid coming out of the annulus is observed to change from a relatively light color to a black color. This indicates that the marker fluid is being discharged from the annulus. Five barrels additional cement slurry is pumped to displace the marker fluid from the annulus. Pumping is stopped and the cement slurry in the drill pipe is removed by reverse circulation of water down the annulus between the drill pipe and the conductor pipe and up the drill pipe to the surface. The well is shut in for 16 hours to allow the cement slurry to set. The competency of the cement job is determined by a cement bond log. The well is ready for drilling to greater depths.
While particular embodiments of the invention have been described, it will be understood, of course, that the invention is not limited thereto since many obvious modifications can be made, and it is intended to include within this invention any such modification as will fall within the scope of the appended claims.

Well, Alhamdulillah..finally we managed to have a nice trip to Bali, a-year waiting trip which has been discussed and planned countless times. All the previous plan of how to go to the LCCT were scrapped. Masy, Jard n Bella went there by themselves, and for us, Wafa and Iyan. we were sent there by Atan (Beruwang). Thanks a lot Atan for sending n fetching us there!!
When we arrived there and gathered for the first time, looking at Jard with her Deuter bag pack and another pink bag on her chest, the only thing came out of my mind at that time was BUMBLEBEE!! Ahahaha!! seriously Jard looks like an autobot though!! Masy, maintain je..Bella..errrr...MCD memang best kalau nk rally tunggu orang kan? --> Ubah topik
Then I straight went to the counter to check in myself and added Xiyad as my infant. Printed the boarding pass and waiting for Zonaku to arrive so we could check-in our luggage. After a while waiting, Zonaku approached us and we went to the luggage counter. I brought Xiyad there but then turned back to McD for his milk after asking the staff that the stroller does not have to be check-in with the luggage if we want it that way. OK
Then Masy n Zonaku back from the luggage counter saying that we exceeded 3kgs and Masy had to carry her luggage as a hand luggage. Sorry Masy. Xiyad diutamakan, montok diketepikan. Then cut story short, we departed the plane after the usual air asia delay. As the plane was not fully occupied, we were free to choose where to seat.
At first Xiyad and I swapped our seats with Jard and ended up next to an Irish couple. The Irish girl was a soft spoken girl whom played for a while with Xiyad before Xiyad pinched her arm. Ahahaha. Well, it caused her to rub the spot though. Then we switched to a vacant seat in front. We lied Xiyad down after pulling up the arm rest. But somehow the Irish girl stumbled upon our seat from the back causing one of the arm-rest to dropped right on Xiyad's forehead. Hahaha..Xiyad shrieked a bit from his sleep and the girl was making a sorry face. Kekeke.
Looking at this pic, aku percaya la Masy kata dia lagi ringan dari Bella.
We reached Ngurah Rai Denpasar airport around 10P:M after all the immigration clearance, the luggage collection and etc. Emerging out from the arrival hall, there was a sea of people waiting for their friends, relatives or clients with signboards of names everywhere. I scurried one time looking for a signboard with MEMUAH BLOGGER on it but to no avail. So I put my bag against one of the pillar, asked Cembam to wait there with Xiyad and went back in to find it.
And at last!! I found Ieron, our supir with the signboard!! Jard was wanting to take a photo of him holding the sign. Hahaha!! Nah aku lukis je wat ganti. Hahahahaha!!!
Ieron was a dark guy which really resembles Balinese perfectly as I've imagined. Hehehe!! I shook his hand and he carried some of our luggage to a spot so we could wait them to fetch their Avanzas. I rode with Madi, Ieron's friend in another car with Wafa and Iyan. We first drove Wafa n Iyan to their hotel. We discussed a bit on the tentative. Ieron scratched one of the place in the list saying very few tourists went there because it is too far away. Okay. And he swapped the first day tentative with the 2nd one saying that we should cover the nearest place first. Okay then!!
Then we arrived at Sanur Avenue, our hotel which is just a few minutes away from Wafa's. The lady asked for my voucher, but I didn't print them. She's OK with it and just asked for my identification card...the one with holes on it. Hahahaha!!
Bella was so excited, dia gi masuk bilik aku. Hamvoi..kaver skit ada Cembam nih. Hahahahaha!!! We found that our rooms were so satisfying!! Vast and clean. Our bed was a big one. Xiyad so happy landing on it. The only spoiler was at Masy, Bella, Jard n Zonaku's room which the toilet doesnt have a door. Just a curtain covering it. Oh..aku ada cek out the curtain time Masy tengah mandi. Ada la nmpk di sebalik curtain tu lembaga itam melintas gitu2.
Their room was originally for 3, but the management seems to be OK with Bella being the forth person. No question!! and the best part, they even served us as a 7-person meal. Dah la termasuk Bella, dimasukkan sekali Xiyad. Haa..best tak best la our hotel. Kau hadooo??
First night, Xiyad overdose apa ntah or maybe culture shock dpt borak pegang2 mat salleh blonde..tak tidur2 smpi 1A:M!!! He was laughing every now and then, panjat sana sini. Zzzzz..pastu when he finally slept, tengah malam he would awoke crying like 3-4 times. We attended him dengan mamai2 gitu. Hahahahaha!!!
Okay..to be continued!!!!

Getting Started With Disqus
Here are some tips on how to set up Disqus and start growing your community.
Default commenter avatars
Add a default site avatar for commenters who don't have one yet. This is a nice way to make readers feel like a part of the community.
Custom moderator badge
Moderators on your site have a special badge next to their comments verifying who they are. By default this reads "Mod" but you can easily customize this.
Default sort order
If a commenter hasn't chosen a preferred sort order, the default you set is used instead. The default option of "Best" is recommended for most sites.
Color scheme and typeface
Disqus automatically checks your site's font and background color and adapts to either a light or dark color scheme, along with a serif or sans-serif font. If these are detected incorrectly, you can override them here.

This is what I wore last Monday when we went to Johnny Rockets Alabang Town Center branch. I first saw a Johnny Rockets restaurant 2 years ago in Niagara (Canada), their funky interior design caught my eye but I never had the chance to try it until they opened their branch just 40 minutes away from my house.
Because I want to match the fun, kind of vintage, the diner from A Cinderella Story (Hilary Duff version) vibe... I opted to wear a color blocking outfit. The top I'm wearing is from The Berries and can you believe that it's reversible?! Wait 'till you see the other color of it, love that I can pair this top with my pants, shorts and even skirts!
See my new candy colored shorts from Sam's Station? I love it to bits since it's so comfy and super cute! This is the first pair of colored shorts I got in my closet, all thanks to Sam's Station! I adore the items from their shop especially the corset (OMG!), wanna have them in my closet!
We ordered a salad, their original burger, strawberry milkshake, apple milkshake and of course --- unlimited fries with a smiley ketchup haha! Overall, it was such a great meal and just by looking back at these photos... I want to visit their restaurant again and try all of their burgers and milkshakes soon!
Oh and did I mention their staff are super nice that I hope they don't find me so weird in taking too much photos of myself inside their restaurant haha! Aside from that, they also know how to entertain their customers by dancing some good ol' songs?! Oh yes! Such a perfect way to have that unique dining experience plus you can also choose a song you like on their jukebox.
Added more colors to my outfit by wearing the necklace Stylista sent me, at first I didn't really know where I can pair up that huge statement pink necklace so I guess, this must be the perfect outfit to feature it! And I also wore the H&M ring from my Ninang :)
To give you guys a more sneek peek on what a diner looks like then watch these videos! The first one is Want U Back by Cher Lloyd, the video is also my inspiration for this outfit and the other video is by One Direction, it's an acoustic version of What Makes You Beautiful, enjoy!

I want to make these two death duels:brach vs trex, and camara vs trex
But how do I use the brach drinking animation to make him pick up the t-rex, then make him rear up and drop the t-rex while rearing, and so when his feet hit the ground, they hit the t-rex and kill it?
Is it possible?
About the camara vs rex deathduel, I want the t-rex to use the same anim that he does when killing spino at the same time that camara rears up, so he will hit camara's belly?And how do I make camara rear up and stomp at the t-rex,causing t-rex to fall, then rear up and stomp a second time to finish it off?
Is this also possible?
I wanted to have these deathduels for my mod pack...

Darren Manzella, born on August 8, 1977 in Portland, NY. He was a United States Army Sergeant, medic and gay activist who was discharged under the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"policy.
Manzella served in Iraq and Kuwait, and was stationed in Fort Hood, Texas. He came out to his commander after rumors of his sexuality emerged in the form of threats to "turn the flame down." Manzella had at that point told his unit that he was gay and had introduced them to his boyfriend, A.J. No action was taken against Manzella due to the Commander finding no evidence of his homosexuality in the investigation, which included a video provided by Manzella displaying passionate kissing between him and his boyfriend. The investigation concluded that he should return to work and he was told, "You're not gay"and that "proof of homosexuality" had not been found. Manzella came out on program 60 Minutes in 2007, the first openly gay service member on active duty to speak to the press from a war zone. His decision to appear on the show resulted from his opposition to "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" and his desire to build momentum for ending it. He believed that gays and lesbians should be able to serve openly. Due to the 60 Minutes interview, Manzella was discharged with full benefits in June 2008.
Manzella married Javier Lapeira in Rochester, NY on July 5, 2013. On August 29, 2013, Manzella was killed when an SUV hit him as he was in the act of pushing his disabled vehicle off the road in Pittsford, Monroe County, New York.
LGBT History Month celebrates the achievements of many lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people who have contributed significantly in several ways to the advancement of our community. Limited by the number of days on the calendar, showcasing every individual who has made a major impact would be difficult. Yet, across decades and eras, revolutions and wars, and discovery and enlightenment, SPART*A honors past and present LGBT figures in our history this month.

JEZIRET EL FADL, Egypt—
Ghafra dreams of rain. Not the brief bursts of precipitation that mix with the desert dust here a few times a year, but real rain, the kind that makes the worms come out and the watermelons grow, the kind that only falls on one place on God's Earth: Palestine.
The last time Ghafra saw that kind of rain, she was 13. It was just before the soldiers came, droves of them from the north, west, and south. They left only one path open for Ghafra's people to escape: west. West to safety, West to Egypt. They planned to only stay a few months, waiting out the end of the fighting.
This month marks 67 years since the war with Israel—and for Ghafra and her people, 67 years of waiting to return home.
Ghafra, now an 80-year-old grandmother, is one of 40 members of the Abu Hussun tribe who fled Beersheba, an oasis in the Negev desert in what is now Israel, in 1948. They journeyed 13 days on camelback across the Rafah border, along the Mediterranean coastline of the Sinai, and southwest to the Nile Delta governorate of Sharqeya. There, they settled on a piece of land they called Jeziret el Fadl—"Island of Favor." Nearly seven decades later, 3,000 Palestinians remain marooned on the figurative and largely forgotten island.

For many people looking into starting a website for the first time, it is often difficult to know what exactly to look for in a web design company. Depending on where you live, such as Nova Scotia, you would ideally pick a web design company from near your locality. A Halifax web design company would be perfect for people in the area. Regularly communicating and actively viewing your progress become easier when you can physically meet and discuss your website with a web design company. The benefits associated with web design companies comes from the customer-centered and locally operated professionals who work there. They communicate regularly with you to create your website. But a rapid growth in the industry has led to an increase in the number of web design companies in Halifax, Nova Scotia. What are they key things you need to keep in mind when selecting a Halifax Web Design Company?
Portfolio: The first step in picking the right web design company for your website is to go on the internet, and look for their portfolio. A web design company without a portfolio is not one you should consider. The existing layouts on their portfolios may not meet you exact specifications, but they only serve as samples of what Halifax web design companies can offer you. A definite plus when selecting a company is preferring those that have prior experience in building the kind of website you are hiring them for. If you are a non-profit organization looking to hire a web design company, a company with prior experience in the field can work better for you.
Content: The most important part of you website, even before the design is the content. A company that does not focus on the content as a priority is not an ideal Halifax web design company.
Testimonials and customer service: Many websites prefer to have online testimonials regarding their services. In case a Halifax web design company does not have that, it is possible to ask for testimonials and references before you agree to hire them. Be sure to check for the quality of customer service as well. You can understand how efficiently a web design company works by how quickly they are able to give you an estimate for your request. Selecting a web design company with a good reputation is ensuring a professional and resourceful experience for you.
Price: Instead of asking how much you should pay them to build your website, instead consider asking on the return on investment you will get from the site. What this means is a potential estimate on the revenue a website designed by them will net you in the long run. A web design company that works effectively is one that markets their client's website efficiently. Ask to see examples of websites they have built, and check if they have high search engine rankings.
A Halifax web design company can offer professional and friendly services from people starting to their first website, to those who are looking to build new websites. These locally owned and operated companies could be ideal places to start building your website.

Local companies support 2013 ASP Women's Tour in Taranaki.
The TSB Bank New Zealand Surf Festival will again host a leg of the ASP Women's Tour as a feature event in a 10-day line-up of surfing competitions commencing March 29 thanks to Surfing Taranaki and support from a host of local companies.
With pivotal financial support only just secured, the festival will now be able to host surfing competitions ranging from the World Tour to Micro Groms to Masters, says Festival Director, Craig Williamson. "It's really, really tough to find sponsorship funds in this financial climate so we are very fortunate that a range of both large and small companies and organisations are keen to support us in our fourth successive annual event," says Williamson.
With core funding from the TSB Bank Community Trust, the TSB Bank and Venture Taranaki, the 10-day event will start in Easter and run from March 29 to April 7. It will include the Dow AgroSciences Pro as stop number four of seven ASP international competitions scheduled for 2013 and will be held over a five-day window from April 3 to 7.
Bringing 17 of the world's best female surfers including local Paige Hareb to surf Taranaki's legendary waves, another Kiwi will also have a chance to challenge the world's best. By winning the ITL New Zealand Women's Open, the winner will go into the Dow AgroSciences Pro as a wildcard entry which will be an unparalleled experience, says Williamson.
"The wildcard entry is a huge opportunity to compete at an international level to which Kiwi surfers have risen to take the challenge," says Williamson.
"At our first event in 2010, 15-year old Sarah Mason won the Women's Open, then went on to beat world champion Stephanie Gilmore in her heat and made it to the semi-finals before being knocked out. Sarah's surfing career took off from there making it onto the World Tour in 2012."
Based at New Plymouth's Fitzroy Beach, the TSB Bank New Zealand Surf Festival will also include the Powerco Micro-Groms for all surfers aged under 11, a New Zealand Grom Series Competition for boys and girls under 16, as well as the Carona Easter Masters which is celebrating its 21st year as an event.
The Masters will run from March 29-31, the Grom Comp from March 30-31, the Micro Groms on April 1 alongside a Beach Carnival at Fitzroy, and the NZ Women's Open Wildcard Trials will be on April 2 followed by the ASP Women's World Tour event April 3-7.
At a time when surf events are "dropping like flies", according to the editor of women's surf magazine, Curl, Lynne Dickinson, and the "girl's world tour is losing events year after year, it seems almost unbelievable that the small Taranaki community can do what major surf companies cannot".
"It's no wonder that Taranaki is producing its fair share of top NZ surfers," says Dickinson. "Paige Hareb is in her fifth year on the World Tour, and Thandi Tipene, New Zealand 2012 National champ, both call Taranaki home. Huge ups to all those Taranaki people who get behind this event."
For event organisers, The TSB Bank New Zealand Surf Festival is a celebration of surfing and New Zealand's beach culture.
"Outside of the competitions there will be a range of community events including a Beach Carnival, a Disabled Surfer's session, a Surf Photo exhibition, Surf Movies and Surfer's Ball featuring one of NZ's top reggae bands," says Williamson.
"What better excuse does anyone need to get involved in the one of these events or to just head on down to Taranaki this Easter to watch them unfold!"
For further information, please contact Surfing Taranaki, Craig Williamson, ph 027 6874122, firstname.lastname@example.com. Released on behalf of Surfing Taranaki by Adviso Media, Bruce Gatward-Cook, ph 0274 99 00 24, email@example.com.

Walker back with Southend
James Walker has returned to Southend to fight for his place rather than extend his loan at Hereford.
Last Updated: 26/10/09 12:11pm
James Walker has returned to Southend United to fight for his place rather than extend his loan at Hereford United.
The striker has recently completed a month-long loan at Hereford and scored twice in seven appearances during his time with John Trewick's side.
The League Two club were keen to hang on to Walker, but Southend boss Steve Tilson has confirmed the 21-year-old has returned to Roots Hall.
"James returned for training today," Tilson told the club's official website. "Obviously we are very light on numbers at the moment so that is welcomed.
"However, what pleased me the most was that he genuinely wants to come back here and fight for his place.
"He's played some games and scored some goals which will have boosted his confidence and fitness.
"Hereford were keen to keep him and extend his loan, but James wanted to come back and we are pleased to welcome him."
