The oil and gas industry has utilized various deaeration technologies for many years to remove dissolved gases, particularly oxygen, from injection water. In many hydrocarbon recovery and water processes, degassing is necessary in order to minimize environmental impact, improve operating efficiency, avoid process issues and help protect system components.
Common methods of deoxygenation include installing a vacuum tower and/ or chemical injection. (For example, dosing water with sodium bisulfite). However, vacuum towers are bulky and use an enormous footprint. They cannot be easily expanded to meet future demand and, in many cases, are not operated at optimal efficiency because planned flow capacity may change after tower construction begins or even after installation. Additionally, vacuum towers can also have long lead times, so ordering must be done well in advance.

A lot of bull
Yesterday afternoon I decided to go to Camas National Wildlife Refuge to try to locate some migrating avocets, but got side tracked by two bull moose. I saw one about a quarter of a mile away and decided to stalk it and see if I could get some good pictures. Before the day would be over there would be a lot of bull out there.
The one bull moose soon turned into two bulls and I watched them heading in a general southwest direction. I located a small knoll with a few sage brush on it and made my way there. At time the bullrush was so tall only their antlers would be showing. When this happened I would work to another sagebrush to try to intercept them.
Their eyesight is not very good - probably a good thing when you realize how cute the females are - but their smelling and hearing are excellent. I tried to move as silently as I could when I needed to move. But here the two act like they smell something funny.
But they continuely move closer to me. The larger one is suspious and moves away while the smaller one continues working his way toward me.
I start to get very nervous when he gets about 30 feet from me and I can hear the crunching of the veggies as he eats. Finally he hears the camera and smells me; comes to attention and decides to leave.
He flashes me as he heads back to the other bull, who has decided to tak a nap.
When he gets to the larger bull he starts eating. Then I realize there is a bull elk in the background watching this whole bachelor party, but not willing to join in. You can see him if you enlarge the picture by clicking on it.
It was quite a bachelor party with a lot of bull there. With two bull moose, a bull elk, a bull human and lots of bullrushes, I even saw a little bs come from the smaller bull moose as he got too close to me. Just another wild day in Idaho.

The Punk Glam King took the Punk Glam Princess to Florida to do the whole Disney/ Universal thing, and since I wilt in the heat I was seeking more temperate climes, especially after our recent heat wave in NY. I wasn't disappointed, and even seemed to have brought some NY sunshine which made for a lovely visit.
First order of business after the warm welcome back to the luxurious Blythswood Square Hotel and Spa (full follow up review to follow, they deserve a post of their own), was a joyful reunion with Queen Michelle. After catching up, we hit the beautiful ancient streets of Glasgow for a lovely wander about and of course just a wee bit of shopping had to be fit in!
A close up of the peacock sculpture.
Later that evening Prince B met us at the hotel bar for drinks, where I enjoyed great conversation with both Prince B and Queen Michelle. I don't think I really wanted the night to end between the lovely bar and the good company!
Gosh I really treasure these silly candid shots so much, they reflect all the fun we were having!
The remainder of my stay the Queens were ever so gracious and drove me around the city to all their favourite vintage haunts. Of course we fit in a wee splurge at Primark which is the only place on earth where I can purchase a pair of jeans off the rack, without trying them on and have them fit perfectly. I have an extremely hard time finding jeans due to my very small waist and hate that bloody waist gap I find in brands both inexpensive and high-end. How do they do it?? It has never failed to amaze me!
I know my wonderful return visit to Glasgow has to do with the amazing Queens. They are two of the most creative, talented, gracious, fun, and beautiful women I'm proud to call my friends. It sounds trite but I feel so blessed to have them come into my life and treasure their friendship the same as those of friends I've had for many more years!
In a few days I'll write more about my second leg of my journey to my second home, London.

Today's card was completely inspired by Dena over at The Creativity Cave. She posted an absolutely gorgeous butterfly card yesterday made with the Timeless Textures stamp set from Stampin' Up!®. Since I already owned that set and had never used it, I knew right away that I wanted to CASE her card. What does CASE mean? Well, that depends upon whom you ask. I've heard Copy and Share Everything, Copy and Selectively Edit, Copy and Steal Everything, etc. Personally, I prefer the first two options. When I CASE, I generally find three or four things from the original card design to incorporate into my design.
Here are the things I "borrowed" from Dena's card for my CASE:
- Textured border on my main panel
- Tone-on-tone ink and paper (Tip Top Taupe in my case)
- Focal image in the center upper third of the card
- Thin matted layer on the main panel (I used Blackberry Bliss)
To create the main panel, I used Tip Top Taupe ink on a piece of Tip Top Taupe cardstock. I used several different stamps from the Timeless Textures stamp set as well as the scattered dots stamp from the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set. I did a combination of first and second generation stamping to get a nice variety of color depth.
For my focal image, I used the layered rose stamps from the Picture Perfect stamp set. I stamped the first layer on white cardstock in Rich Razzleberry using second generation stamping. I used Rich Razzleberry again for the second layer, but didn't stamp off first that time. For the final detail layer, I used Blackberry Bliss which added lots of depth to my image. I did the same thing with the leaves using Pear Pizzazz for the first and second layers, then using Old Olive for the final detail layer.
Once the ink dried, I fussy cut the rose and leaves then applied a generous coat of Wink of Stella to them. I attached the leaves to the rose using glue dots then adhered it to the panel with Stampin' Dimensionals. I adhered the panel to the Blackberry Bliss mat, then to an A2 top-folding card base made from Very Vanilla cardstock. Since I was using very thin mat layers, I used liquid glue for that step to give me some "wiggle room" time to ensure I had everything lined up squarely.
For the inside of my card, I used the birthday sentiment from the Happy Birthday, Everyone hostess stamp set. Isn't it gorgeous?!! I stamped it in Blackberry Bliss ink on a Very Vanilla panel. I also added the flourish from the Timeless Textures stamp set. Since I wanted it to be a very soft look, I stamped off on a piece of scratch paper five or six times before stamping the flourish on my Very Vanilla panel. Once again, I created a very thin mat layer using Blackberry Bliss cardstock.
I was having so much fun creating this card, I decided to decorate the envelope as well which is something I don't do very often. Once again, I used a couple of different stamps from the Timeless Textures stamp set to create my border. I did everything with second and third generation stamping using Tip Top Taupe ink on a Very Vanilla envelope.
Before I wrap things up, I really want to thank Dena for the inspiration from her beautiful card! Definitely be sure to stop by her blog and check it out. She even has a video showing how she made it! I really need to try that whole process video thing at some point, but I'm scared! LOL
I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
- Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge – the current theme is make your own background.
- Global Design Project – the current theme is a sketch challenge.
- Just Add Ink – the current theme is a color challenge (Rich Razzleberry, Tip Top Taupe, Blackberry Bliss)
- StampNation – Challenge #195: Backgrounds
Until next time …

Moments after watching the Michael Lehmann-directed Because I Said So, I quickly flipped through a dozen or so channels looking for something to take my mind off the pain of the previous hour and 42 minutes. Two bowls of chips later I found myself well into My Best Friend's Wedding, with Julia Roberts professing her love in a tacky midriff-baring blouse to a dumbstruck Dermot Mulroney. At that point I promptly switched off the television, but couldn't shake the feeling that those 30 minutes completely wiped the floor with the entirety of the first film I saw that afternoon.
In that sense Lehmann's work fails to fulfill even the lowest of expectations for a modern Hollywood romantic comedy. My Best Friend's Wedding is no The Philadelphia Story, but it does give you a crunchy feeling of satisfaction akin to a greasy meal at McDonalds. It has a nicely wrapped moral with a side of flirtatious humor, and some pretty people in pretty locales to wash things down. Because I Said So is not only confused about its central message, but it's about as funny an episode of 7th Heaven.
Yet what's worse, Because I Said So doesn't just advertise pretty people - these are pretty people who, under normal circumstances, possess at least some level of acting skill. Diane Keaton is a pro, Lauren Graham (Gilmore Girls) an always-witty breath of fresh air, and Mandy Moore is a young star with more talent than she realizes. The combination of three smart, funny and attractive women should be dynamite in the context of a romantic comedy, and so this movie has every reason to succeed. But these actors (along with Piper Perabo) circle around each other in a forced and unnatural way - even as they play one big family. All the awkward sex jokes and abrupt moments of "sincerity" create a very sitcom-y environment in which character development is always left for the next episode.
I can't criticize Lehmann's intent behind directing a largely female cast in a very open and, what must have seemed, "progressive" story. Yet as he breaks taboos in frankly discussing orgasms and the love life of an older woman, he simultaneously paints a very sad and depressing portrait of female solitude. Nearly every romantic comedy is guilty of placing life's value solely in the pursuit (and capture) of men, but I've rarely seen a film quite as brutally hopeless as Because I Said So. None of the key characters has any friends or social life to speak of, and the only happy women are the married ones. The fact that much of the film is spent glorifying the strength of female bonds only underlines the hypocrisy of the desperation these characters feel when man-less.
The film wants us to feel liberated, but the conformity of everything in the end actually feels suffocating. It isn't just the characters that remain caged, but these actresses deserve so much more than this demeaning work. It seems the director didn't trust the viability of a film centered on a mother-daughter relationship alone, and instead clumsily shifted focus to the silly love triangle. His decision mirrors the most offensive aspect of an otherwise completely forgettable experience; this is a "chick-flick" that doesn't believe in women. SEE ALSO: www.becauseisaidsomovie.com

"I can't do it bro, I just can't do it," said Matthew Bridge as he contemplated making a smart arsed remark about the Wallabies chances in the Rugby World Cup final against the All Blacks this weekend. "If I start laying down the smack against all my Australian friends, I just know I'm going to jinx the boys and the Wallabies will bloody beat us."
Matthew's story is the same as that afflicting many New Zealanders this week as they contemplate the days until the All Blacks meet the only team to beat them in 2015. It seems that fans have learnt from 2003 when, going into that now infamous semi final against the Wallabies, their sky high confidence and cockiness towards Australians backfired on them when they went to work on Monday.
"I used to think that me winding up fans of opposition teams didn't have an impact on how the All Blacks played, but after 2003 and 2007, I'm not so sure anymore," said Matthew. "I'm also a Hurricanes and Wellington Lions fan, and after talking down at the Highlanders and the Magpies, and we lose to both of them, I'm really not sure I have it in me to smack talk the Wallabies this time around."
"The last thing I want is the entire country blaming me for jinxing the result."
For their part, Wallabies fans have been busy posting photos of all the trophies they have won in matches against New Zealand sides recently, including the Rugby League World Cup, the Netball World Cup, the Rugby World Cup, and the Rugby Championship.
"Stone the flaming crows, I'm not worried what those little sheep shaggers think," said Convict McInbred when asked whether he was worried if his posting a photo of a kangaroo jumping on a kiwi might cause the Wallabies to lose.

Election puts 10 Dems on high alert
Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) says Tuesday's Republican victories in Virginia and New Jersey should be a "wake-up call" for Democrats in Congress.
Here are 10 likely to be hearing alarm bells.
Story Continued Below
Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.)
No one noticed the election results more than Reid's advisers, who know he faces a situation similar to that which befell New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine.
Like Corzine, Reid is an unpopular incumbent running in a state whose economy is in the tank. And like Corzine, he'll have to use his massive war chest to create a negative impression of his opponent in order to persuade Nevada voters to send him to the Senate for a fifth term.
But it didn't work for Corzine, and Reid knows that he's going to have to create a positive impression of what his influence in Washington has done for regular folks back home.
Adding to Reid's problems is that he's suffering in Nevada from being a national leader, meaning that how President Barack Obama's agenda is perceived back home will have an enormous impact on his ability to win reelection.
On the Senate floor Wednesday morning, Reid made no mention of his party's big losses in New Jersey and Virginia, instead pointing to the lone bright spots for Democrats — victories in two House special elections, including one in upstate New York that had long been a GOP stronghold.
"Republicans are the 'party of no,' and that's why in New York, a congressional district that for 150 years has been Republican went Democratic," Reid said. "The American people see what's going on in this Congress."
Rep. Thomas Perriello (D-Va.)
Perriello beat Democrat-turned-independent-turned-Republican Virgil Goode in 2008, thanks in large part to heavy turnout from young voters and blacks. But that's exactly who didn't turn out to vote for Democrat Creigh Deeds in Virginia on Tuesday.
Perriello voted for the cap-and-trade bill that many conservative Democrats avoided and has been leaning toward voting for the health care overhaul — positions likely to put him at odds with many of his constituents. But while some other Democrats shied away from town hall meetings during August, Perriello has shown a willingness to meet with constituents, and political observers in Virginia and nationally say that could be his saving grace — that he's willing to explain his positions publicly.
"People appreciate that," said former Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Executive Director Karin Johanson.
Though Perriello is usually easy to reach, he didn't return POLITICO's call for comment on this story.
Parker Griffith (D-Ala.)
No Democrat has gone to greater lengths to emphasize his differences with his national party than this freshman lawmaker from Huntsville, Ala. He won by a hairbreadth in 2008 — with 51 percent of the vote — and has gone as far to say he won't vote for Rep. Nancy Pelosi for House speaker in the future. He said he wasn't sure exactly how loud the message from Tuesday's Democratic losses in the Virginia and New Jersey gubernatorial races were, but he said the point was clear.
"I should be nervous," he said.
He said the current Democratic agenda has "the potential to cost some of our frontline members their seats."
He also asks that he be identified as a conservative, independent Blue Dog — rather than as a Democrat.

By Tajhir Roberts
Hi, my name is Tajhir Roberts. I'm going to talk about the MLB All-Star Game. The National League All Stars took on their rivals from the American League on a nice night at Petco Park, the home field of the San Diego Padres.
The All Star game has been a yearly event in baseball since 1933. Coming into Tuesday's game, the National League held a small 43-41 advantage, with two ties over the American League. After the 4-2 win on Tuesday, the American League closed the gap to 43-42. Since 1997, the American League has dominated its rival with a record of 16-3-1.
Even though the AL won the game, the NL scored in the first inning on a home run by Kris Bryant, who plays for the Chicago Cubs. The AL would not be losing for long as Eric Hosmer tied the game in the 2nd inning with a home run of his own and then Salvador Perez, who is also on the Kansas City Royals hit a two-run home run off of former teammate Johnny Cueto to give the AL a 3-1 lead.
Hosmer brought in another run to give the AL a 4-1 lead in the 3rd inning and the pitching for the AL pretty much shut the door from there. The NL made it 4-2 in the 4th inning on a hit by Marcell Ozuna from the Miami Marlins.
Eric Hosmer finished the game with two hits and three RBI and was named the game's MVP. David Ortiz from the Boston Red Sox did not get a hit in what was the final All Star Game appearance of his long career.
Home Run Derby
The Home Run Derby was held the night before at Petco Park and Giancarlo Stanton from the Miami Marlins stole the show. Stanton had a total of 61 home runs to win! He hit 24 home runs in the first round to beat Robinson Cano from the Seattle Mariners. In the second round, he faced Mark Trumbo from the Baltimore Orioles and won with 17. He was able to hit one of the balls 497 feet!
In the final round he went up against Todd Frazier from the Chicago White Sox. Frazier won the Derby last year in Cincinnati and is from New Jersey!Stanton hit 20 home runs in the final round and beat Frazier's 13 to win the Derby.

Polder Duo Shower Rod
Space saver alert. We just found the Polder Duo Shower Rod at Linens N Things and fell in love. It's a classic, chrome shower curtain rod with a twist: it's a double rod: the inner one for the shower curtain and the outer one for hanging towels.
For those of us with limited wall space in the bathroom, this is a treasure. And it's pulled off without being too bulky or noticeable.
Five feet of extra hanging space for under $40 is not bad, not bad at all.

Fishing where the fish are is something that bears have known for years but many folk who use Twitter seem to have forgotten. We cannot simply think our message will be heard by tweeting ourselves which is why we try and target influential people via tools like TweetLevel and BlogLevel.
However, this isn't the only way of doing it. What I have been doing successfully over the past year is taking part in twitter chats. These are regular conversations that take place about a specific subject on twitter normally for an hour and owned by a specific hashtag.
For example,
· if you are targeting the SME market then look no further than #smallbizchat
· If you are focussing on innovation then #Innochat on Thursdays is the one for you
· Are you a small business that uses LinkedIn (client) – why not use the chat that shares best ways for businesses to use this service on #linkedinchat
My personal favourites are #influencechat and #measurepr – but suggest you look at this larger list to see which ones can help you
Any questions, just chat with me @jonnybentwood
End note: My thanks to Judy Gombita for pointing this list out to me who also wants me to plug Windmill Networking #PR column Wed, Social Capital Byte: Institutionalizing Parity in B2B Relationships

Reduxio's HX550 system offers California municipality higher performance for applications and significant reduction in response times
SAN FRANCISCO, CA – Dec. 14, 2016 – /BackupReview.info/ — Reduxio Systems announced today it has streamlined IT operations for the City of Thousand Oaks by enabling the municipality to offer a fast and reliable work environment for all of its employees at the Hill Canyon Wastewater Treatment Plant. Faced with an aging and inefficient legacy system, the City of Thousand Oaks decided against replacing it with another traditional storage area network (SAN) system and instead turned to Reduxio's hybrid storage, offering flash performance while at the same time providing the necessary capacity to improve efficiency and simplify data recovery for its employees at the plant.
Located in Ventura County, California, just 35 miles northwest from downtown Los Angeles, the City of Thousand Oaks is a thriving planned community with over 130,000 residents. The IT environment of Thousand Oaks is operated out of three core sites and multiple satellite locations, including the Hill Canyon Wastewater Treatment Plant (HCTP). Treating an average of 8.5 million gallons of wastewater per day, the facility employs over 50 engineers and administrative employees. Capturing and storing photos and videos of the wastewater process is critical to the plant's validation and long term success and the legacy system that the city worked with relied solely on backup to tape, which required time-consuming administration.
To address these issues, Thousand Oaks' IT administrators searched for new technology and turned to Reduxio's HX550 flash hybrid storage array. Based on the Reduxio TimeOS™storage operating system, and its unique BackDating™ capability; the HX550 allows users to recover application data to any second in the past. It eliminates most of the complexity associated with managing storage. The HX550 provides exceptional performance and efficiency, based on its NoDup™ in-line-in-memory deduplication and compression; and Tier-X™, which continuously and autonomously tiers data for optimal storage performance and cost effectivness. Thousand Oaks also leveraged Reduxio's StorApp for VMware vSphere, a storage management console for the vSphere Web Client, that provides simplified provisioning, capacity and instant recovery of virtual environments to any precise second in the past.
"Distributing our IT services across the different sites is key to delivering a fast and reliable work environment for all our employees, no matter their location," said Dustin Hurshman, IT Analyst III, City of Thousand Oaks. "We knew we couldn't rely on legacy technology to meet our growing needs and Reduxio's technology began making an impact in our efficiency from the moment it was installed, with employees noting higher performance for their applications and significant reduction in response times."
In addition to streamlining IT accessibility for remote workers, Thousand Oaks employees also benefit from Reduxio's technology by experiencing two times faster file access with flash-based storage and less than one minute average latency times. Reduxio was also able to set-up the system and have it up and running in less than 20 minutes.
"Innovation is key to success in today's ever-changing IT environment. It's IT organizations like the City of Thousand Oaks who are questioning the constraints and limitations of legacy technology and conventional ways of thinking that are setting the pace," said Mike Grandinetti, chief marketing and corporate strategy officer, Reduxio. "We're proud to be working with the City of Thousand Oaks to streamline and enhance its IT environment, improving efficiency and simplifying data management and protection."

An issue which is of particular interest in the North-east is the cost of energy and the fuel poverty which exists in our region resulting from such high costs.
The most recent figures on fuel poverty show that there were 100,000 more houses living in fuel poverty and 27,000 more living in extreme fuel poverty across Scotland in 2013 than there were in 2012.
However, there was no regional breakdown provided at this time which makes it difficult for both the Scottish Government and local agencies to bring forward the appropriate measures to tackle fuel poverty in our part of Scotland.
What we do know is that our climate here in the North-east makes it even more difficult to tackle fuel poverty in the region and can be particularly concerning for our elderly population. That is why it is so important that this information is provided so that we know just how challenging a situation we face in the North-east.
I have written to Ministers to ask for this to be provided as soon as possible given its significance.
It means that there will be people in the North-east suffering from fuel poverty this Christmas and, given the national rise, in all likelihood a greater number than last year.
These figures mean that there will be too many low income families and older people having to make the choice between heating and eating this winter.
The rises in households living in fuel poverty show that the Scottish Government is even further off meeting its target of eradicating fuel poverty by 2016. As a member of the Economy, Energy and Tourism Committee I have heard evidence from organisations set up to tackle fuel poverty that the current levels of funding are inadequate to reach this target and that this was true of both the Scottish Government and the energy companies.
The Scottish Government has said that it would stick by its target of eradicating fuel poverty by 2016 but it is clear from the figures published today that they are on course to miss it badly.
It is time that Ministers stop paying lip service to a target they are clearly not doing enough to meet and start taking more practical steps to ensure that we have fewer people, not more, living in fuel poverty.

I spent week 1 'squiggling' around as planned - quilting back in forward in little rows doing whatever I felt like doing. A question for the experienced - do you work right to left, or the other way around? I couldn't work out which seemed more sensible. I went right to left although I tried left to right.
I think my major achievement of the week is that I no longer feel scared of my machine in FMQ mode.

This past spring, I finally tried a zip line canopy tour and I loved it!
Given my happy experience, I'm inclined to say that there are probably no bad places to try zip lining for the first time. If there's a zip line near you, go for it. For my family, the Ozark Mountains made a great setting.
During our last RV trip to Branson, MO, we made a reservation and then visited one of several zip line tour companies in the area.
After being trussed up like a Thanksgiving turkey (the safety gear is much like you'd expect to wear on a rappelling excursion), we climbed into an open jeep for a short ride to the top of the mountain.
On the way up, we could see the heavy-duty zip lines running from platform to platform, zig-zagging down the mountainside. Our guides shared more about the history of the area, took photos, and reassured anyone who happened to experience a wave of anxiety. Ironically enough, it was the one person in our midst who was afraid of heights who had instigated this particular outing.
Then it was time. As it turned out, our random anxieties and hesitations instantly disappeared after that first step off the platform. We flew through the air, learned to rotate while we rode the line, and landed neatly on the next platform below like gymnasts.
It was over way too soon, but I will definitely be adding zip lining to the "must do" list for future road trips! I found a directory of zip lines that should be useful.
A quick safety note: I've discovered that there are an estimated 13,000 zip lines across the U.S., but the industry is self regulated, which means it's really important to check out tour operators in advance. I'm thinking I'll use the directory, as well as Yelp, to find reviews. But if you have some ideas about where to go, let me know!

New installation of ZCM 10.3, patched up to 10.3.1 on Windows 2008.
Seemed to work for a day before Thanksgiving, but after coming back on Monday, no workstation (or ZCM) server able to log in with ZCM agent.
"Unable to log into the network because the login credentials or the server certificate is incorrect."
In troubleshooting, lots of changes have been made (including an inadvertent uninstall of zenworks on the server!). Reinstalled 10.3.0, patched with all Windows patches, (manually) patched up the 10.3.1 ZCM server. Agents are updated to 10.3.1.xxxx and seem up-to-date.
The LDAP backend goes to a NetWare 6.5 sp8 server, and that part seems fine.
Debug logging has been enabled. DNS (forward and reverse queries) working fine.
The issue seems to be certificate-related, between the ZCM agent and the ZCM server. (LDAP calls never make it to the NetWare server. DSTRACE shows no activity when trying to log into the ZCM agent).
The best clue I have is seen in the zmd-messages.log file (from the ZCM server). Everything looks good until it gets to "Calling Authtoken.ObtainAuthToken". I see it calling out the host (<servername>.<domainname>), and servicename (com.novell.zenworks.<realmname>), but the next line gives me:
"Authtoken.ObtainAuthToken returned a null or zero length token"
A few lines later I also see:
"MiCasa.DeleteCredential took exception: The error code is: -802"
(which may be unrelated).
I can find no explanation of the 'null or zero length token' message.
One thing I also cannot find that would be of use is some technical explanation of what is supposed to be happening during the authentication process, prior to an LDAP call going to the directory from the ZCM server.
