The floods were a tragedy for Britain. Now Dave needed to know: were his public statements effective? Were his policies working? And above all, did he look good in his photo opportunities?
Two of Central Office's top young media analysts, Julian and Sophie, came over to No 10. They were young. They were glossy. They had a PowerPoint presentation.
"Let's start with Mr Farage," Sophie began, opening a photo on her laptop screen. "He's inspected the floods in a felt hat, check shirt and tie, combined with a Barbour and waders. The whole look says, 'I'm down-to-earth. And no bloody flood's going to get between me and a pint at the Dog and Duck.' "
"More like the Loony and Fruitcake," Dave chortled.
"Yes, Prime Minister," said Julian, "but please bear in mind that both loonies and fruitcakes constitute significant sections of the electorate."
Sophie went on: "Boris Johnson inspected a waterworks in Croydon wearing a suit and tie, an ill-fitting mac, and a fluorescent
hi-viz jacket. Note how his tie is skew-whiff and his paunch clearly visible."
"Absolutely," said Dave, "a shambles, as usual."
"Quite so," Sophie agreed. "He could be about to say, 'Cripes, this is all a bit soggy', before tripping over a sandbag, falling into the Thames and floating away like Eeyore in Winnie-the-Pooh. But the suit and hi-viz are work clothes. So the mayor combines the concepts of 'lovable buffoon' and 'high-powered thruster'."
"High-powered thrusting has always been Boris's speciality!" smirked Dave.
"And it gets him the female vote," said Sophie. "Now, let's look at you, Prime Minister, and the other two main party leaders: three middle-class, middle-aged, Oxbridge men in their forties, wearing blue trousers, zip-up jackets and Dunlop wellies. The only individual touch is Mr Clegg in his jeans. He doesn't look bad. But you only have to tell the public, 'This man called his three sons Antonio, Miguel and Alberto Clegg', and his last shreds of voter appeal will disappear."
Julian took over: "Now we'll compare you and Mr Miliband. You're clearly more at ease in the countryside. Mr Miliband, however, looks nervous – not so much a fish out of water as a goggle-eyed Plasticine puppet thrust into a maelstrom. His boots are brand new. He's let water get into them. He's a desperate sight."
"Yes, PM, but not for you. Most voters mistrust the countryside. Grass, mud, puddles and, above all, farm animals terrify them. In Mr Miliband they see an urban man who is out of his depth, and they relate to that. But to them you're a toff who feels at home in the countryside because people like you own most of it."
"Sam's families do own quite a bit," Dave admitted.
"But don't worry, PM," said Sophie, cheerily. "We've got a concept that will make voters love you, and steal Boris's thunder. We're talking front-page pics, viral videos and total dominance of the Twittersphere. We call it: The Big Splash."
Suddenly Dave felt just like Eeyore. "Does it involve me getting wet?"
"A little moist, PM, yes. But don't worry. It's absolutely worth it."

1. Field of the Invention
This invention generally relates to the drilling and servicing of wells in subterranean formations. In one aspect, it relates to contacting subterranean formations with aqueous well completion and workover fluids which are used in the drilling and servicing of wells.
2. Description of the Prior Art
In the drilling of a well into a subterranean formation, it is necessary to cool the drill bit as it cuts into the formation and to remove drill cuttings away from and out of the borehole. A drilling fluid, therefore, is normally circulated downwardly, through the drill pipe, outwardly through nozzles located in the drill bit and upwardly through the wellbore annulus to the surface. Most drilling fluids, commonly referred to as drilling muds, contain suspended particles of hydrated clay in water. Clay based fluids, in addition to cooling the drill bit and transporting cuttings, prevent cave-ins in poorly consolidated wellbores and gas blowouts in high pressure formations. The colloidal properties of the suspended clay, such as high gel strength and high density, contribute significantly to the functions performed by the clay based drilling fluids. A weighting material such as barite is frequently added to the drilling fluid to increase its density so that formation pressures can be contained.
During the well completion phase of the drilling operation, when the drill bit bores through the producing interval, the insoluble materials of the drilling mud, such as clay and barite, cause a filter cake to be laid down on the formation face. Such a filter cake or sheath tends to seal off the formation and may result in a permanent reduction in the permeability of the producing interval. The embedded clay and barite particles can sometimes be removed by acidization. However, even expensive acid treatments are frequently unable to overcome well damage because clay and barite solids have low solubility in acid.
To avoid impairment of permeability, it is necessary to use a "clean" drilling fluid which will not damage the formation but which has sufficient density to contain formation pressures. Similarly, during well servicing and workover operations, such as gravel packing, in which a permeable, production interval will be contacted with a workover fluid, it is also desirable to employ a dense but nondamaging fluid.
Commonly used nondamaging fluids are high density, aqueous saline solutions such as saturated calcium chloride solutions. Although calcium chloride solutions are nondamaging, they possess a maximum density of only 1.38 g/cc (11.5 pounds per gallon) and may not be suitable for all well treatment operations. Mixtures of calcium bromide and calcium chloride solutions can achieve densities as high as 1.81 g/cc (15.1 pounds per gallon), but such mixtures are very costly. Blends of calcium chloride solutions with other high density solutions such as sodium nitrate, calcium nitrate, and zinc chloride have been proposed, but these solutions are highly corrosive and require the addition of expensive inhibitors. In addition, such solutions may be environmentally hazardous.
The addition of insoluble, suspended solids, such as calcium carbonate, can be used to increase the density of aqueous saline solutions, but these solids can invade the formation and can result in the same type of formation permeability damage which is caused by the clay based fluids. Thus, there is a need for a high density, nondamaging well completion and workover fluid.
The present invention broadly comprises an improved well completion and workover method wherein a subterranean, hydrocarbon-producing formation is contacted with a high density, nondamaging treating fluid. The treating fluid comprises a saturated, aqueous saline solution having a density of at least about 1.2 g/cc (10.0 pounds per gallon) at 10� C. (50� F.) and having finely divided particles of a water soluble salt suspended therein. The suspended salt particles should be added in sufficient quantities to substantially increase the overall density of the treating fluid.
One such fluid is a suspension of pulverized sodium chloride particles in a saturated solution of calcium chloride. Whereas a solution of calcium chloride has a maximum density of 1.38 g/cc (11.5 pounds per gallon), a suspension of sodium chloride in a saturated calcium chloride solution can be prepared which has a density as high as 1.68 g/cc (14.0 pounds per gallon).
Contacting a formation with the fluids of the present invention will not cause any permanent well damage. Should any of the salt particles, suspended in the fluid, invade and plug the formation, they can be readily dissolved by the flow of produced field brine or by the injection of water or an unsaturated saline solution.
Preferably, the average size of the suspended salt particles should be less than about 10 microns. Pulverized particles of that size are more readily suspended in the aqueous saline solution and will be easily dissolved should they invade the formation. It is also preferable to add chemical agents to the fluids of the present invention to help maintain the finely divided salt particles in suspension. Dispersants and water soluble polymers are especially useful in preventing settling of the salt particles.
The drawing is a plot of viscosity versus density for a saturated calcium chloride solution in which there is suspended finely divided particles of sodium chloride.
The well completion and workover fluids useful for the purposes of the present invention are essentially aqueous slurries comprising suspensions of finely divided particles of a water soluble salt suspended in a saturated aqueous saline solution. Such slurries form high density, nondamaging well completion and workover fluids. Since the aqueous solution is saturated to begin with, the particles of the water soluble salt will remain in suspension almost indefinitely, especially if there are ions which are common to the solution and the suspended salt particles. Thus, a saturated solution of calcium chloride will be unable to dissolve suspended particles of sodium chloride without the concurrent precipitation of calcium chloride. The ionic equilibration, however, will proceed very slowly and the slurry will remain stable for a long period of time.
The suspended salt particles behave as nondamaging weighting agents. Unlike particles of calcium carbonate, clay or barite, the suspended salt particles used in the method of the present invention are water soluble and can be subsequently removed from the formation should the particles become lodged in the formation. Thus, the particles can cause no permanent damage to formation permeability. Field brine, which normally flows from a producing formation, is usually well below the salt saturation level and will dissolve any residual particles of salt remaining in the formation after a well treatment operation. In most instances, the produced field brine will effectively dissolve the residual salt particles it comes in contact with. However, if no brine is produced from the well (as, for example, in a gas well) the water soluble salt particles can be easily removed by spotting the formation with water or unsaturated brine.
Any water soluble salt can be selected as the weighting agent. However, the salt which is highly preferred for the present invention is sodium chloride. Sodium chloride is inexpensive, abundant and very water soluble. Furthermore, it is the major salt component of field brine and sea water and is, therefore, ecologically desirable for both onshore and offshore well completions and workovers.
It is highly preferred to use salt particles that are very finely divided since the finer the particle size, the greater the amount of salt which can be suspended in the saturated solution. Smaller particles are also more readily dissolved should they invade the formation.
Finely divided sodium chloride can be made using conventional pulverization techniques. For example, in jet pulverization, coarse sodium chloride particles are fluidized in a vessel and are impinged with two high velocity jets of air which cause the particles to collide with one another with sufficient impact to promote pulverization of the particles. A product of desired particle size distribution is then withdrawn from above the fluidized zone. Other commercial size reduction processes can also be used to obtain the properly sized comminuted particles. For purposes of the present invention, the pulverized salt particles should have an average size of under about 10 microns and substantially all (99.9%) of the particles should be under 25 microns. As a basis of comparison, ordinary table salt has an average particle size of nearly 200 microns.
The saturated solution component of the fluid of the present invention can be selected from any of the aqueous saline solutions which are commonly used for well completions and workovers. The salt used in the preparation of the solution should have substantial solubility in water so that a density of at least about 1.2 g/cc (10.0 pounds per gallon) can be attained. Saturated solutions of sodium chloride, calcium chloride, potasssium chloride, zinc chloride, calcium bromide, calcium nitrate and sodium nitrate are all possible candidates. However, as previously mentioned, calcium nitrate, sodium nitrate and zinc chloride solutions are avoided where possible because of their corrosive nature and the possible adverse environmental hazards which they pose. The solutions which are usually selected are saturated solutions of calcium chloride, calcium bromide and sodium chloride or mixtures thereof.
Sodium chloride solutions are the least expensive but will yield a maximum density at saturation of only about 1.2 g/cc (10.0 pounds per gallon) at 10� C. This should be the lower density limit of the saturated solutions selected for use in the present invention. The perferred solution for purposes of the present invention is a saturated solution of calcium chloride which has a density of 1.38 g/cc (11.5 pounds per gallon). This solution also offers the advantage of being relatively inexpensive. A saturated calcium bromide solution is very dense but has the disadvantage of having a high freezing point. However, mixtures of calcium bromide and calcium chloride solutions can be formulated with densities as high as 1.91 g/cc (15.1 pounds per gallon) and with freezing points below 20� C. (68� F.).
As previously mentioned, sodium chloride, being a major component of field brine and sea water, is environmentally safe. Calcium chloride and calcium bromide solutions are also desirable from an environmental standpoint. In addition to being safe to use and handle on land, they are also well suited for use offshore since both calcium chloride and calcium bromide are present in sea water in small quantites. Therefore, accidental spillage of either salt solution into offshore waters will cause no damage. Heavy calcium chloride and calcium bromide brines also exhibit low corrosivity rates and will not significantly damage drilling equipment.
To minimize any corrosivity problems associated with the saline solution component used in the method of the present invention, it is preferable to add small quantities of a corrosion inhibitor to the saline solution. Inhibitors, such as ethylene oxidized organics, act as oxygen scavengers and thereby reduce corrosivity rates. A preferred inhibitor is a water soluble mixture of organic inhibitors which is manufactured by Exxon Chemical under the tradename of Corexit 7720. A concentration of about 5000 parts per million is recommended when the saline solution is utilized as a packer fluid or when it will be left in the wellbore for extended periods of time. A pH of between about 3 and 11 is generally preferred when the well completion or workover fluid is to remain in contact with tubular well equipment.
A preferred well completion and workover fluid for use in the method of the present invention is a combination of the two preferred components, i.e., a saturated solution of calcium chloride having pulverized particles of sodium chloride suspended therein. Such a slurry is inexpensive and can have a density as high as 1.68 g/cc (14.0 pounds per gallon). It is almost totally nondamaging and exhibits a very low corrosivity rate. Another useful fluid is a suspension of particles of sodium chloride in a saturated sodium chloride solution. This fluid has a density as high as 1.5 g/cc (12.5 pounds per gallon) and is very inexpensive, and since the sodium chloride is present in both the saturated solution and the particles, the fluid is in permanent ionic equilibrium. A slightly expensive, but highly dense fluid, can be prepared by suspending sodium chloride particles in a mixture of saturated solutions of calcium chloride and calcium bromide. The density of such a solution can be made as high as 2.1 g/cc (17.5 pounds per gallon).
The suspended salt particles are, therefore, effective weighting agents which, when added in sufficient quantities, significantly increase the density of the treating fluid. For example, effectively suspended sodium chloride particles contribute as much as 0.3 g/cc (2.5 pounds per gallon) to the overall density of the fluid. Naturally, the density increase will depend on the type of water soluble salt selected, the amount of salt used and the suspensive properties of the saturated aqueous solution.
It should be pointed out, however, that adding salt particles to the saturated solution will increase its viscosity as well as its density. The drawing is a plot of viscosity at 511 reciprocal seconds versus density for slurries of sodium chloride suspended in saturated calcium chloride solutions. The drawing shows that viscosity rapidly increases at a density of around 1.60 g/cc for the fluid. The avoidance of pumping difficulties resulting from increased viscosity may, therefore, place an upper limit on the amount of salt particles which can be used. For example, in the preferred solution of sodium chloride particles suspended in saturated calcium chloride, it is probably desirable to maintain density at not more than about 1.60 g/cc (13.3 pounds per gallon).
Altering the rheological properties of the saturated saline solution by adding chemical agents is a preferred technique for increasing the amount of salt which can be suspended in the solution. The addition of dispersants and viscosifiers (such as water soluble polymers) can significantly increase the amount of salt particles which can be maintained in suspension for long or indefinite periods of time.
Dispersants which can be used include sodium salts of alkyl naphthalene sulfonic acid and polymerized carboxylic acid, polyphosphate acid esters and nonylphenyl polyethylene glycol ethers. Generally, any of the commercially sold dispersants which help disperse particles in aqueous media and which prevent preflocculation are suitable for the fluid of the present invention.
Viscosifiers useful in the present invention include synthetic water soluble polymers such as acrylic and vinyl polymers and the cellulose derivatives such as hydroxyethylcellulose and carboxymethylcellulose. Also suitable are the natural gums such as quar gum, gum arabic, gum tragacanth and the microbial fermentation gums such as dextran and xanthomonas gum.
Tests were conducted to determine a preferred suspending agent for the fluids of the present invention. Dispersants and viscosifiers were tested individually and in combination. The most effective product was a combination of xanthomonas gum and Visco 950. Visco 950 is the tradename for a polyphosphate acid ester which is manufactured and sold commercially by Nalco Inc. A weight ratio of 1 part xanthomonas gum to 3 parts Visco 950 was found to be the preferred mixture, but weight ratios of from 1 to 5 to about 1 to 1 will provide adequate suspension. Only minor amounts of the suspending agents need be added to the slurry. For example, 1000 pounds of a saturated calcium chloride solution containing 2 pounds of xanthomonas gum and 6 pounds of Visco 950 would be able to suspend, in a stable slurry, over 450 pounds of sodium chloride to form a fluid having a density of 1.6 g/cc (13.3 pounds per gallon), thereby keeping viscosity at around 200 centipoises.
The nondamaging fluids mentioned above can be used in any number of well treatments where it is necessary to contact the formation with a fluid which will not permanently impair well permeability. For example, in the well completion phase of a drilling operation, the fluids used in the present invention would be substituted for conventional drilling muds.
A suspension of sodium chloride particles in a saturated sodium chloride or calcium chloride solution could be prepared in advance and stored in tanks or drums. If the slurry is stabilized with a dispersant and viscosifier it can be stored almost indefinitely until needed.
When the producing interval is reached, the slurry would be used in the same manner as a drilling mud, i.e., downward circulation through the drill string, outwardly through the drill bit nozzles and upwardly through the wellbore annulus to the surface. The slurry prepared in accordance with the present invention should have sufficient density to provide a hydrostatic head which can contain formation pressures and should be formulated to have such a density.
If the particles of sodium chloride or other soluble salt are, as suggested, very fine (under 25 microns) then the slurry can be passed through conventional mud cleaning equipment to remove drill cuttings. The most thorough mud cleaning equipment available will only separate particles having a size of 50 microns or greater. Therefore, conventional mud cleaning equipment such as shale shakers and desilters will separate most drill cuttings from the fluids of the present invention without the concurrent loss of suspended salt particles, thereby permitting recirculation of the fluid.
Similarly, the fluids used in the present invention can be used for all types of well servicing and workover operations. Dense fluids are frequently needed for such operations because it is necessary to maintain a wellbore pressure of 200 to 300 psi above reservoir pressure. Furthermore, well servicing and workover operations such as gravel packing, well killing, cleaning out, and perforating require very "clean," nondamaging fluids because such operations tend to cause extensive contact of the fluid with the producing zone of the formation. Unless the workover fluid is nondamaging, formation permeability will invariably be impaired. Thus the fluids used in the present invention are ideally suited for such operations.
The principle of the invention and the best mode in which it is contemplated to apply the principle have been described. It is to be understood that the foregoing is illustrative only and that other means and techniques can be employed without departing from the true scope of the invention.

The World's population is concerned with regard to the harm that is being caused to the environment and to the planet. Such harm is being mainly caused by traditional energy generation technologies, such as: coal, gas and oil.
One very good way to avoid this is to look for renewable forms of energy. Among which, the most promising type of renewable energy is in the form of wave energy technologies. The wave power technologies stand out in the energy generation arena due to it's' ability to harness large amounts of cost-efficient renewable energy.
More than 70% of the earth is water; this means that by using wave power technologies, there is a possibility to produce electricity which will meet the needs of growing populations all over the world. In fact, wave energy generation technologies can produce electricity which is five times more than the global demand.
Nowadays, there are several companies that focus mainly on wave energy generation. One of the most innovative companies in this field is Eco Wave Power Company, headed by David Leb.
Eco Wave Power Company has realized the endless potential that lies in the waves, and therefore it has been able to generate smart solutions which enable the construction of large wave energy farms, and the production of large amounts of energy from the waves, for the most attractive prices.
The two main products of the Company in the wave power domain are the Wave Clapper and Power Wing. Both enjoy unique features which enable robust structure, reliability and a long life span of the system.
Wave Power energy generation has a great potential for spreading and even dominating the energy generation arena, especially now when the entire world is grappling with more demand for power consumption.
The energy in the waves is just waiting to be harnessed and serve the needs of the global population. Wave energy harvesting is one of the best things that man could do, for himself as well as for the planet.
The field of wave energy catching is growing at a real fast pace and the oceans and seas of the world are right there waiting for the right entrepreneurs to harness them and profit from it.

Where Were the Writers at the Nigerian Writers' Awards Ceremony?
The Nigerian Writers' Awards almost pulled a Big Brother Nigeria Gifty on me on Sunday night. I was at an award ceremony for Nigerian writers and 1: I could hardly recognise any 'writer' at the event. 2: I didn't know any of the writers who got an award.
I was at work marking my pupils' books two weeks ago when this sexy invitation arrived in my inbox. A quick glance at it showed it was for something that was going to be a big event, strictly on invitation, with names of politicians occupying the special guests' seats. The card read, 'Jennifer Emelife, we cordially invite you to the Nigerian Writers' Awards ceremony….' My first thought: where are the authors on the IV? Then I thought again: perhaps it's an event put together by some big people to award Nigerian writing. Not a bad one. So I had two weeks, deciding whether to turn up or not until the thought of a buffet passing me by in this recession drew me to the event on Sunday evening. Also, the 'gorgeously African' dress code printed on the card was enticing enough.
I arrived for the event an hour before it started, just in time for the exhibition (as specified on the card) and a cocktail (that my head made up). Both failed. When I found no artwork displayed anywhere, I took a quick stroll to the book stands. As one who prides herself knowledgeable in Nigerian writing, I was broken because 1: My favourite titles were missing on the stands. 2: Who are these Nigerian authors? 3: WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY LIFE IF AT A WRITERS' AWARD CEREMONY I'M NOT ABLE TO IDENTIFY ONE BOOK?
I clutched my broken heart and my purse and found a seat. The hall was beautifully decorated except for the vase in the centre of every table with flowers (or feathers?) long enough to block the view. I sat and wished against all wishes that I'd find one writer I know. This is a writers' event in Lagos for krissakes. Where are the writers? Where are the damn writers? My impatient mind was cussing until a poet showed up with her lovely sisters and I ran to her: OMG, one familiar face at last!
So the event began with a pretty host who didn't stop asking the audience what was next on a programme we didn't have copies of, or who was performing next as though we were all paid to do her job. As she recognised special guests, my seatmates and I tried to guess her ethnicity but we failed, because from Igbo to Yoruba, Hausa, Ibibio; our pretty host struggled to pronounce all names.
A couple of strange faces performed on stage. One, a spoken word artist and the other, who mimed a song, was maybe a singer. A child delivered a memorised speech about Nigeria where she said Igbos are vegetarian (I can't forgive the writer of that script). There was another small speech about some big names in the Nigerian senate and government offices that for a second, I needed someone to reassure me I was at a literary event and not a political rally.
It was finally time for the award presentations. I opened the Nigerian Writers' Awards Facebook page to find nominations for each category and in my head, I was trying to place the winners when a loud cry startled me and indeed everyone else. I tilted my head, afraid of what might come after me, only to behold a woman clapping and crying and thanking God. Her son in the abroad had won the Nigeria Diaspora Writer of the Year, an award for which Teju Cole, Chigozie Obioma and Nnedi Okoroafor were also nominated. I immediately understood her outpour. What better definition of a miracle. I turned to my poet friend and asked her if she knew the author who had won and she shook her head: 'Never heard of him until now'.
There was a category for Fiction Writer of the Year and the nominees formed quite an interesting list: Nigerian Writers Series author, Julius Bokuru, Nigeria British-born writer, Helen Oyeyemi and six other strange names. You guessed right, one of the strange names won the award. Again, I turned to my poet friend. Who that? 'No idea,' she responded.
And on and on it went, stranger names, with the Poetry Writer of the Year, Romance Writer of the Year, Nonfiction Writer of the Year, and even eyebrow-raising categories as the Motivational Writer of the Year and Faith-based Writer of the Year. My sole consolation was that Ainehi Edoro of Brittle Paper won the Literary Blogger of the Year. How much more disastrous it could have gotten if it was otherwise. Yet, our pretty host had to kill my joy by asking if Ainehi was male or female.
Dear organisers of Nigerian Writers' Awards, you do an awesome job for seeking to promote Nigerian writing through these awards. But I have a few questions:
- Where and how do you get your nominations?
- Who are the judges for these awards?
- If you are going to be introducing 'new' authors to us, can you at least tell us why you think they are most suitable for the awards for which they win? Like, 'so and so is the Fiction Writer of the Year for her short story published in so and so which dealt with so and so…'
- On what basis are these awards given? What exactly are the standards?
- The Nigerian Writers' Awards Ceremony is an event 'celebrating Nigerian writers' and for the umpteenth time, I'm asking where were the writers at the event? Where were Chuma Nwokolo, Lola Shoneyin, Igoni Barret, Abubakar Adam Ibrahim, Elnathan John, Chika Unigwe, Dami Ajayi, Ukamaka Olisakwe, Saddiq Dzukogi, Yejide Kilanko, Tj Benson, Pemi Aguda, Gbenga Adesina, Adeola Opeyemi, Chibundo Onuzo, Chinelo Okparanta? Where were Nigerian publishers like Su'eddie Vershima Agema, Azafi Omoluabi-Ogosi, Kenechi Uzochukwu, Toni Kan and Bibi Bakere? And Nigerian critics and editors like Oris Aigbokhaevbolo, Mazi Nwonwu, Jite Efemuaye?
- And lastly and perhaps, more importantly, the one that demolished what was left of me: where was the food?

Picture: Lionel Richie seen arriving at LAX airport to board an international flight. Los Angeles, California - 07.08.09
Lionel Richie can't contain his happiness when asked about his growing family - he has spoken of his pride in his daughter NICOLE's latest offspring.
The socialite and boyfriend Joel Madden welcomed son Sparrow James Midnight Madden on Wednesday (09Sep09). The newborn is the pair's second child - they welcomed daughter Harlow Winter last year (08).
And the new addition has made the star's singing legend father burst with joy - because he's never seen his former hellraising daughter happier.
He tells People.com, "I am so proud of Nicole and Joel. (Nicole) is the happiest woman ever. She is just in total control. I'm the one that's nervous!
"He looks just like Harlow. All babies sort of look the same as their siblings, but this is identical."

The Cradle helped us form our family 40 and 37 years ago, and we served on the Board for many years. We are very proud of The Cradle for continuing to practice the highest ethical standards in very difficult times for agencies whose sole priority is the best interests of the child. The Cradle is unquestionably the best adoption agency in the United States.
We adopted two precious babies from The Cradle who are now 39 and 42! The Cradle gave us the gift that keeps on giving. We are constanly impressed with The Cradle's caring and ethical way of completing the adoptive circle; utmost care and respect is given to the birth parents, the adoptive parents and most of all,. the children. Our lives have been complete due to the children that came into our hearts and home. Thank you to The Cradle and the birth parents who entrusted us with our son and daughter.
I'm actually involved with the Cradle in a number of ways; certainly as an adoptive Cradle mom w/ 2 Cradle babies (adults now) and as a donor. I am so thrilled to donate to the annual Cradle Ball every single year because of how much I believe in this agency and their long time proven history. During our adoption processes, payment to them was never even mentioned; which was so drastically different than any other agency I interviewed. Instead, we focused on parenting, finding the right match for child, birth family and adoptive family and overall health and readiness of everyone involved. My children have a very special heritage they are connected to. I love supporting this agency for future families.

text: I just bought a new Glock for the collection. Its a Gen2 Glock 22. It feels great and I feel like I paid a fair price for it. However, when I got it home and cleaned it I decided to take it out back and shoot it (I mean I bought 500 rounds of ammo just for this gun). And after almost every round the slide locks back. Other than that it ejects great and looked good on the inside. Do you have any recommendations on what may cause this or if there is an armorer in the East Tennessee (Knoxville) area that you'd recommend taking it to.

20 Oct Registered Nurse (RN)
Becoming a registered nurse (RN) is one of the most satisfying jobs that you can have.
Not only do you get to treat patients, but you will make a very comfortable living with this career. You can become a registered nurse with only a few short years of schooling and this degree has one of the highest turn around rates on your investment.
It is possible to only pay a few thousand dollars in schooling and be able to pay this sum back the very first year you graduate. These are only a few of the many reasons that people are taking the education path to becoming a registered nurse.
What Will I Do As A Registered Nurse?
As a registered nurse you will chiefly be responsible for patient care in healthcare facilities. You can choose to go to public or private institutions, which can vary in the amount of patients and your exact tasks. You are responsible for treating patients that are suffering from diseases and alleviating pain associated with them.
You'll be the one that is solely responsible for most of your patient's care, which leads to long hours. Making a difference in people's lives is why many people choose to become a registered nurse. You will also enjoy the rapport that you establish with your patients, and the effect that you have upon someone's process of rehabilitation.
Having a job as a registered nurse is consistently the top rated job in the country. You can easily work in hospitals but many nurses are now finding careers in home care, and even rehabilitation centers. The hours working in a hospital can be incredibly rough on a nurse, which is why there are a portion of nurses that like to work in office environments.
You can even work in specialized areas with some additional training, or on the job experience. There are always job openings for a registered nurse, so you will be able to have your pick of the field.
What Schooling Do I Need As A Registered Nurse?
When you have decided that you would like to become a registered nurse there are several things you will need to do. The first is having a high school diploma, or the equivalency, as this is a requirement for registered nurse programs. You will also have to dedicate at least two years to your schooling as this is the absolute minimum amount of time that you can go to school and be able to take your national certification test.
Becoming a registered nurse can be very efficient if you complete a two year program, and pass your exam as soon as it's available. You can be working in the healthcare industry in just a little over two years from the day you take your first class.
There are some people that choose to use four year programs to become a registered nurse. This is for the simple reason that hospitals are becoming stricter with their requirements for positions. Most nurses are now becoming registered nurses and then they work while they simultaneously continue to go to school.
All you need is to find a great program and dedicate all your time and effort to completing your course. Becoming a registered nurse is the highest paid two year degree that is available, and has been the highest paid degree for the last several years. When you complete a registered nurse program you are assuring a great future that is lucrative, and always in demand. This is another reason why so many people are choosing to become registered nurses.
Becoming a Registered Nurse Is A Lifelong Career
When you finish your schooling and become a registered nurse, you are immediately opened up to a world of possibilities. There is never going to be a day when people don't need healthcare. This is why there will never be a time when nurses and other medical professionals will not be in demand.
When you become a registered nurse you will always have job opportunities for the rest of your life. It is also possible to travel overseas and work at any hospitals that are abroad. Medicine is a universal language, and working as a nurse is the easiest way to guarantee yourself a job if you did want to move internationally.
A registered nurse is a great career that will offer you challenging and new experiences throughout your entire life. There is a reason that this field has been consistently growing for the last decade. By becoming a registered nurse you are embarking on a journey that will affect not only your life but the lives of many others.
This career is highly fulfilling and has unlimited potential. You should seek out programs today that will help you in this amazing journey of becoming a registered nurse. Just think, in only a few short years you can be on your way to becoming a registered nurse and on your way to a whole new career.

|Part of the charm of visiting the Caledonia Golf & Fish Club is the drive through trees draped in Spanish moss to the clubhouse that used to be a plantation home. (Jason Scott Deegan/TravelGolf)
PAWLEYS ISLAND, S.C. -- There are not too many places -- whether a restaurant, resort, bowling alley or whatever -- that can wow visitors in the driveway.
But that's what the golf experience at Caledonia Golf & Fish Club does. Caledonia sinks its teeth into the soul of golfers who turn into the property and doesn't let go.
The drive into Caledonia's plantation clubhouse introduces the Lowcountry vibe of Pawleys Island. Towering old oaks draped with Spanish moss form a sort of tunnel that transports players to an intimate amphitheater of alligators, marshes, ponds and trees without the intrusion of houses.
Maverick architect Mike Strantz made a name for himself by transforming an old rice plantation into a modern classic in 1994. Strantz, who passed away from cancer in 2005, made the most of 130 acres. He unleashed a wildly creative par 70 of just 6,526 yards featuring five par 3s and three par 5s. One of those par 3s looks like a throwaway hole on the card, the 118-yard ninth, until you play it. It might be the toughest short par 3 in America -- over a bunker that crests like a wave to a shallow, hidden green.
Little touches -- wood-plank walkways and brick staircases leading to greens -- only enhance the natural elegance.
John Loblein, visiting from Toms River, N.J., called Caledonia his favorite course of the five he played during a recent visit. Golf Digest rated Caledonia no. 1 on its list of the Myrtle Beach Super Sixty, the best golf courses along The Grand Strand.
"It's beautiful," Loblein said. "The fairways, the greens, the sand traps, even the clubhouse view on 18 watching the golfers come in."
Strantz toys with golfers throughout the round, tempting them into risky shots that are rarely rewarded. The tee shot on the par-4 seventh uses visual trickery. Branches from a set of oaks form a low ceiling to shoot through, but they're never really in play. The huge tree guarding the right side of the green, however, is very much a concern.
A foursome of titanic fairway bunkers tempts players to carry them on the par-5 eighth, even though there's no need to mess with them. A ridge splits the green in two at the par-3 11th hole. The par-4 13th, a dogleg left, offers up only a finger-like fairway pointing to a tiny green sandwiched by two waste bunkers.
Caledonia's home stretch introduces the day's two toughest par 4s (no. 15 and the watery 16th) and the grand 18th. The par-4 finishing hole requires two deft shots to avoid the marsh. It's both scenic and treacherous. Those who pull off par or better might be rewarded with applause from those watching on the clubhouse patio. That scenario can only be described as a perfect ending to a special round.

Russia Censors Sites Like Facebook, Twitter to Protect Children
Tiffany Kaiser

(Source: goodenoughmother.com)
YouTube is the only website that is fighting the censorship
Russia is using a new law to
block certain internet content
that is considered unsafe for children's eyes.
The law, passed in November 2012, allows the Russian government to remove internet content on websites like Facebook and Twitter if it is deemed harmful for children.
So far, both Facebook and Twitter have complied with the Russian government. Facebook took down a group called "Club Suicid," which promoted suicide. Twitter also removed tweets that promoted ideas of suicide and some that even attempted to deal illegal drugs.
YouTube, on the other hand, has given the Russian government a hard time about the new law. Russia wanted to remove a video that they believed promoted suicide, but YouTube said it was just a video for entertainment -- which shows how to make a fake wound with makeup and a razor blade.
YouTube launched a lawsuit in a Russian court in February, arguing that it shouldn't have to block the video.
While the law is aimed to protect children from seeing harmful content on the internet, some fear that the government could abuse it. Right now, there are a lot of Facebook groups that oppose President Vladimir V. Putin, and the government could remove such pages staging protests.
Likely, many are hoping Russia doesn't eventually lead to heavy internet censorship like China and Iran. Iran just announced last month that it was
beefing up its internet censorship
with a proxy crackdown.
Countries like North Korea have banned the Internet entirely. Google Chairman Eric Schmidt went to North Korea in January of this year in
an effort to end this internet ban
and spread the use of Google's Android operating system.

Testimonials from my coaching clients
Read below what my clients say about working with me. When you're ready to experience your own breakthroughs, download my free toolkit, and check out my coaching services.
"Dear Stephen,
"I wish there was a way to shrink you down so I could carry you around in my pocket all the time. Your coaching and friendship has helped me overcome my fears and false beliefs in a short period of time, cutting my learning curve significantly. We all need people like you in our corner — or pocket, if that was possible!
"I feel like you are ALL IN! when you talk to me and you care just as much as I do about my mission. You have also given me the confidence to know that I was on the right path and, often, the determination to keep going.
"So often you have come at the right time, either with your Inspirational emails or a phone call. You have an amazing ability to see the untapped potential in all of us, and the ability to apply truth and clarity when you speak, so we can see it too. The last phone call we had came when I was just about ready to throw in the towel, but I felt like you had been inspired to reach out and help me catch the vision again.
"You are awesome! I feel like you sincerely care about my life and business. You have walked the path and are so generous in sharing your knowledge of what you've learned along the way.
"I couldn't believe how fast you pegged the root problem I was having. It gave me clarity and a huge boost of positive energy to know I was on the path, you had been there, and it would be worth all the hard work.
"Thank you, Stephen, for being such a gift!"
"I've had the privilege to work with incredible coaches over the years and always believed that a great coach is a great way to recognize blind spots and improve all areas of my life. I've spent years pushing myself in the pursuit of more with success, yet never really feeling enough or at peace.
"The experience that I've recently had with Stephen Palmer however, has been like C4 on the doors of denial, destroying the locks and blowing the doors completely off the hinges, exposing what has been there all along.
"As if I woke from a trance, I've experienced peace and growth like I never imagined possible and am now feeling life, as if for the first time."Sean Fleming
"Stephen was an answer to prayer and intention. His coaching program has been invaluable to my personal and professional growth.
"The support and basic trust he exemplifies with each training and personal call has built a confidence and deeper trust in the process of life and my development. He uses powerful tools for transformation that reach the core of what's holding you back. Strategic techniques create safety and abilities to discover what already resides in each one of us.
"With step by step guidance he shows his students how to heal wounds, reveal the authentic purpose inside, and how to market those skills to begin changing the world with your natural giftings.
"Stephen is continually walking the talk he prescribes. His capacity to empower you to stand in your light has been worth every penny. If you are drawn to this work listen and you will never be held back again."Amanda Walker
"I've known for years that I have a gift for storytelling. But I have been blocked — not able to figure out how to package my gifts in a way to help people and benefit financially. Working with Stephen has helped me to understand why I have been blocked, and to overcome it. I have had a false belief that I'm just not good enough to compete in the marketplace…
"Stephen guided me through an exercise in which I asked myself a series of questions. When I asked, 'Is my purpose to be a storyteller?', I was overwhelmed by a surge of tears and emotion. I hid my face behind my hands and for several minutes just sobbed as years of pain and denial of my true purpose surged up out of me. With Stephen's help, I had finally acknowledged my true purpose…
"So why did I not see my true purpose sooner? Perhaps a better question would be, 'Why did I refuse to recognize it?' I've known that storytelling was my passion. But I refused to recognize the passion because of fear.
"I have had a book for years titled Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway. It's a fine book but it didn't help me. What helped me was the program plus the mentoring. While mindfulness is the key to the door, mentoring is required to get one through the door and moving forward again. Putting it another way, when one is wounded and trying to make it back across the battlefield, a steadying hand and a shoulder to lean on is crucial to making the journey.
"Because I have just started on my journey of passionate living, I am still feeling fear. But I know it's in the future and that it's mostly fantasy. But in the present, I'm armed with Stephen's tools and I'm moving forward anyway."Craig Battrick
"Stephen has been an amazing mentor. I know he sees in me potential and power and does all he can to help me discover, draw out and use my gifts. He is tireless in his efforts to support and help.
"I quickly learned that if Stephen said 'Read this book,' I should read it today. Whatever the book it was always is a feast of knowledge, wisdom and counsel that I needed right then. He has never led me astray.
"There have been times when his counsel has gone against everything I thought I should do. His advice seemed crazy, insane and ridiculous or just down right hard. But I knew he had walked the road and could see things I could not. So, I would dive in and do and ALWAYS it worked out.
"If you are willing to work hard and submit to his counsel you will be changed, charged and challenged to go forth and do excellent things."Marie Arnold
"Stephen's mentoring has been some of the best fuel for igniting my heart and mind! He has such a down to earth, common sense way of teaching and approaching things; but I often walk away seeing things in a way I hadn't before. When he recommends a book, I read it. When he gives me an assignment, I do it. I consider Stephen one of my life's mentors to whom God has led me."Sean Elcock
"When I started out, I had a very anxious attitude about myself and my abilities. I constantly worried what others would think, and felt unsure that I could ever know, do, or be enough to succeed.
"Through the mentoring process, I have learned how to observe and consider where these thoughts come from, & how to move through them day by day.
"The really cool thing is this: Those thoughts used to paralyze me! They stopped me dead in my tracks, so I kept trying new things every time I felt like a failure.
"But now I am in a place where I am solid in the knowledge of my own value, and that makes it possible for me to focus on, and keep moving toward, fulfilling what I am meant to do!
"I still need to manage situations and thoughts that give me anxiety, but now I have the tools to do that, & to do it in joy!"Linda Robbins
"I got on Stephen's email just by chance. I always enjoyed his writing. He is well studied and has deep understanding of many subjects.
"I thought, 'I wish, I could just talk to Stephen. I know he could help me.' The next week, he offered a free coaching session. I got on that and he nailed my different issues pretty quick. I signed up for his coaching program because I knew I needed more of his insights.
"He has taught me what I need to do to move forward. I'm very grateful for his help and teachings. I've told a bunch of my friends to check him out. I want him to coach my wife, my brothers, and someday my daughters. I think that's about the best compliment I can give him."Justin Coats
"Stephen is a deep thinker, an insightful writer, and a perceptive teacher. He has paid the price to really learn who he is and what he is born to do so he can help others do the same.
"He has helped me move from dreaming to doing. And even though my efforts are imperfect I have the tools to see them for what they are — not as failures, but as attempts that will move me toward my goals. I'm hopeful that I can keep trying and every effort will get me closer to my potential.
"Stephen's coaching gives me accountability and a friendly 'guide on the side' to help me discern where the most effective place to put my focus is."Jessica Croker
"I highly recommend working with Stephen and his coaching programs. From the start, Stephen identified several areas that needed my attention. Each one resonated strongly with me. He shared personal stories that brought connection, understanding, and compassion to the discussion.
"Anyone looking for clarity, growth, and healing would benefit tremendously as I have."Kris Bayer
"I've followed Stephen's writing for over ten years and known him personally for over six. I'm not sure that I can adequately describe his influence on my life or what makes him a great mentor but I'll give it my best shot.
"One of the first things that struck me about him was his lack of desire to be a 'guru'. I love that his writing/teaching/coaching is rooted in his true desire to help others hone in on what they're meant to do with their life.
"Over the years I've been continually impacted (for the better) by the perspective and insight that he's able to provide about how each of us can find and live our purpose. His articles, courses, and coaching have allowed me to ask myself the questions necessary to help me over hurdles on the path to living a more purposeful and meaningful life.
"I'm a much more mindful person as a result of years of reading Stephen's articles and working one-on-one with him."Dustin Olenslager
"Mentoring with Stephen has been Amazing! I have learned things about myself, other people and life that have really enabled me to refocus and collect my energy into the direction I have been feeling I need to go but have not been able to get there on my own. I truly am feeling like I have a new opportunity with life.
"Stephen has given me tools and resources that I will be able to use AND plan to use for the remainder of my life. In a short time I have experienced positive growth. It has affected not only myself but those closest to me as well. I definitely feel that I have become a better person by mentoring with Stephen. Additionally, I have the opportunity to grow into my full potential as a result of this experience.
"I am grateful to have been blessed with this experience."Gale da Rosa
"I had no idea how Stephen would deliver on his promises, but it sounded like exactly what I needed so I took a chance.
"His mentoring wasn't a bunch of motivational sessions that wear off in a few hours, or the same old repeated mantras. Instead, it helped me see the fundamental truths that underlie the challenging experiences and periods of stagnation and growth in my life, and why I felt so stuck.
"I now understand why I have the challenges that I do, why what I've tried in the past has or hasn't been effective, and how to move forward. I am so glad I mentored with Stephen!"David Owen
"I would describe my experience with Stephen's course as an intense and powerful introduction to the hope that I could heal from a sense of shame and feeling like I am never good enough, and finally be free to confidently share my greatest gifts with the world, as I was created to do!
"Stephen provided an excellent survey of effective tools to guide your personal journey from a variety of viewpoints, which allowed me to experiment with new ideas and adopt the ones that worked best for me.
"Stephen made himself very accessible to us to be able to ask questions and gave us feedback on our experiences as we practiced what we were learning. Priceless!
"You won't cross the finish line at the end of this course, but you will have an accurate map, as well as all the necessary preparations for your journey!"Kim Morisett
"Stephen has an uncanny sense of what your reality is, and how to take that next step. We have been great benefactors of his wisdom and insight. He wasn't afraid to call us on our crap, but then offer truly insightful suggestions as to how to best deal with it. We highly recommend Stephen if you are someone who is looking for clarity and progress in your life."Steve & Gina Barfuss

With 7 string guitars, beautiful violin lines, haunting vocal melodies and a well timed rhythm section merging into one atmosphere Hiding Scarlet is dedicated and devoted to producing the music that moves our souls while providing listeners with a commentary of the human condition.

Hudson K is electro-synth rock with influences ranging from Siousxie and the Banshees to P.J. Harvey. Comparisons to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Annie Lennox have been made in recent press. Over the past seven years of cultivating their sound through energized and often extravagant stage shows, Hudson K has built a loyal following across the Easter...n States in cities ranging from Chattanooga to Knoxville, Asheville, Philadelphia, and New York among others.
Bold exploration is what caught the attention of producer Jason Rubal at Seventh Wave. "It all started with a message I got out of the blue one day from Jason," recounts Hudson K founder, Christina Horn, "It said, Mark my words: Some day, I will make your album."

Cobram Anglican Grammar Year 3 and 4 students and their Prep buddies enjoyed a teddy bears' picnic on February 14.
The students got to choose a coloured icing and iced their own biscuits and then decorated them with various sprinkles.
Then the fun part came as they ate the biscuits with their buddies and read books to each other and played some games.
The older students took on a mature, nurturing role towards their little buddies, which has assisted the Preps in becoming more settled and confident with their new friendships.
Everyone had a great time with many teddies enjoying a day at school.
