Several multirate separator tests (MRTs) have been undertaken on wells in the Veslefrikk field that are on commingled production from the Brent Group and Intra Dunlin Sand. During these tests, produced-water samples were also collected. Integrated analysis of the results of interpretion of the produced-water analyses and the MRT results have provided a range of information for each production zone including the nature and composition of the produced water, seawater fraction of these produced waters, fraction of total water flow being produced, pressure, productivity index, oil and water rates, and water cut. This information can reduce the need for deploying production-logging tools (PLTs), allows the scaling potential between the deeper and the shallower zones to be evaluated, aids squeeze-treatment design, is beneficial for predicting formation damage from crossflow, and aids water-shutoff decisions.
In this paper, the methods of interpreting the produced-water analyses are presented through the use of a field example. To aid interpretation, interpretation of other produced-water analyses from the field and reactive-transport modeling have been undertaken to better understand reactions occurring in the reservoir as a result of seawater injection and the effects of these reactions on produced-water compositions. In an accompanying paper (Tjomsland et al. 2011), the integrated MRT-analysis techniques are described and the results and applications of additional field examples are presented.

Toby Tavern Bar & Grill
When Karl and his team took on the opportunity to reinvigorate the Toby Tavern Bar and Grill, it was decided to focus on being family friendly pub, and so Playsound was approached to design and build a play structure with a "wow" factor. Working together with Karl, Playsound worked to creating the HMS Invincible, resulting in a local landmark which children just can't get enough of. The Invincible is a 10m long x 3m wide pirate play ship crammed full of exciting features that children can spend hours playing on.
The structure's final design was made from a combination of steel, to give a solid platform base, and timber to reflect the nature of a traditional ship. Bright HDPE panels were used to attract children and provide a vivid feature against the trees in the background.
Part of the specifications was to make sure that it was suitable for children of all ages. The lower-levels of the Invincible play ship is focused on younger children with crawl through tunnels and play panels. The central platform has a straight HDPE slide for exiting.
The rear of the ship houses the more challenging elements. Entry is either by an inclined clatter bridge or by a narrowing scramble net. Both require careful navigation. The highlight of the play ship is a twisting tube slide for only the bravest users!
The new play area is easily viewed from a passing main road so has now become a local landmark. After completion, Karl said "Business has boomed since the new playground at the Toby Tavern was installed by Playsound. Children can't wait to use it and parents now have a fun and safe place to take their kids whilst relaxing themselves."

27 Comments on "Oh, Hypergamy….I Know thee Well"
Soon enough the only way she'll get sex will be by putting a strap on, on a cat.
The younger photo is professional and airbrushed; the second is not. But point taken – she has gotten much older!
[…] Oh, Hypergamy….I Know thee Well […]
Rule of thumb I was given as a lad was to look at her mother. That was as good as you were likely to get of a sense of how she might look in 20-odd years time. Served me pretty well. 🙂
Got-damn, look at that man-jaw.. Blech!
Any man who denies that they would bang any of these women at their current age is flat out lying.
depends on how old the man is, e.g., I'm sure there exist guys under 30 who might not want any part of Diaz even for a one night bang.
I'd honestly pass on Diaz. I thought she'd hit the wall hard back when she did 'The Sweetest Thing' in 2002 and she no longer passed the boner test. Youth and beauty trumps celebrity, and I see hotter women than movie stars in real life all the time.
As a man of a certain age, I'd hit it.
As a man of a certain age, I'd quit it.
Diaz is over the hill but her expectations in men are likely as high as ever.
I like athletic girls but damn there's dudes that want guns like those. She's running var or winny or both
Moose is right. Your 2011 pic is flattering. She looks much worse now.
1. Weathered is a good word, Danny. Raddled is another. Women who have slept around often get that look in time.
2. "Cam told Kelly to set her up with *hot, athletic guys*. She told Kelly she misses being in a relationship and always ends up being attracted to guys who won't settle down."
What, like hot athletic guys, do you mean? Round and round she goes, year after year after year, learning nothing.
Sounds to me like she is still in pump-and-dump territory. Note that she didn't say, for example, that she wants to be set up with "presentable-looking concert violinists and astrophysicists." She just wants a muscular body to fuck. Would he need the ability to construct a simple sentence? We're not told.
3. She turns 41 later this month, according to Wikipedia. If we're getting the full story here, it sounds like she *still* has plenty of growing-up to do. A man's appearance is *still* the only thing that matters to her. Maybe living and working in Hollywood has this effect on people — arresting their development, I mean.
4. A good friend of Miss Diaz should tell her quietly that she is middle-aged now, and that the "hot, athletic guys" she seeks are banging other airheads half her age. You've had your turn, sweetie, she should say. Accept that your SMV is falling away and will continue to do so. Change your targets, grow up a bit, and for Christ's sake show some dignity.
Ms Diaz? Demi Moore's post-divorce melt-down is holding on line 1

Why is the JUUL so popular?
Author: Amy Phillips
There's a new sheriff in town, not that it needs much introduction. JUUL is undoubtedly the latest and greatest titan in the UK vaping industry, and we're assessing why exactly this fresh face is taking over the vaping world. We've talked to our customers and done our homework, so read on to see what we've discovered!
From our research and personal experience, we've found out that the JUUL is popular for several different, but equally important, reasons. It's simple, clean, perfectly sized and satisfying.
The JUUL is one of the easiest devices we've ever used, and we've used a lot! All you have to do to get started is to pop your choice of flavour pod into the device, and you're good to go. No buttons, no ohms and no wattage to play around with. The only two major steps you have to worry about is charging it and replacing the pods. Really, that's all you need to do. Vaping has never been easier!
With no coils and no refilling, there is no mess to worry about when using the JUUL. Absolutely hassle free and straight to the point. Just the way we like it!
The JUUL is tiny! Absolutely perfect for a night out when you don't want to carry a big, often bulky device. The JUUL fits perfectly into your pocket and remains discreet enough to enjoy a quick vape on the go with the smallest amount of hassle possible!
Two words: Nicotine Salts. You've heard of them, but you may still have no idea why anyone would want to put salt in e-liquid. We've learned very quickly that Nic Salt, of course, isn't actually salt, as that would be mental.
Nic Salts are a natural form of nicotine found in tobacco leaves, whereas so called 'free-base' nicotine is not. So, lets investigate the bigger picture, so prepare to be bored!
The nicotine found in tobacco leaves is called deprotonated and monoprotonated nicotine. This means that when the nicotine bonds with acids found naturally in the tobacco leaf, it forms a much more stable molecule, that being nicotine salts.
In short, the difference between Nic Salts and free-base nicotine is that free-base nicotine will give you a strong 'kick' in the back of the throat, whereas Nic Salts provide a much smoother 'kick' despite typically having a higher concentrate level of nicotine. Next, it will dissolve into the blood stream similar to how the nicotine in a cigarette would, giving you the true feeling of a cigarette. JUUL is the true Jedi Master of the world of Nic Salts.
So, it's not surprising that JUUL is taking over the vaping world. Its sleek look and simple design makes it easy for those wanting to quit smoking to succeed, as well as appealing to those who are already free from tobacco who may be looking for a smaller secondary device.

- On the spot results: With ExactBlue, there's no need to transport samples to the lab. Test multiple samples, from different sources and locations, to determine if treatment is working or whether more action is required. Quantitative results available in 5-10 minutes, with reports ready for you to email to your client.
- Scope and reliability: ExactBlue detects a wide variety of viable (both culturable and nonculturable) microorganisms, giving you a more accurate indication of the presence of pathogenic or opportunistic microorganisms.
- Convenience: ExactBlue literally puts the power in your hands. It enable you to test multiple parameters (microbial load, free chlorine, hydrogen peroxide) immediately after sampling, and then analyse and track the results either online, or on your phone.
- Lower total cost: ExactBlue offers free software and cost-effective kits that will reduce your water testing expenses by over 50% when compared with lab testing.
- Quantified results: ExactBlue expresses microbial test results in Most Probable Number (MPN) or CFU/ml, so you can compare your results directly against CDC guidelines and take appropriate action.
Complete your water testing at the sampling point with the new ExactBlue testing system - an easy-to-use smartphone-based nanotech platform that offers quantitative results for total microbial contamination as well as biocides, all on one platform, within minutes! Quick, convenient, and accurate, ExactBlue is an indispensable tool in your water quality management strategy.
ExactBlue allows water professionals to assess total microbial load and determine within minutes if a treated water source needs further action.
ExactBlue brings together, on one platform, direct microbial and disinfection testing , making it an indispensable tool for water treatment professionals working on high-risk operations.
Why do you need ExactBlue?
Water treatment professionals currently rely on biocidal efficacy studies prepared in laboratory conditions to design and establish water treatment systems. Furthermore, the use of indirect monitoring methods, such as the analysis of disinfectant levels, is commonplace due to lack of cost-effective and accurate field testing technology. Inline monitoring at the point of entry does not provide enough information to keep a system under complete control due to the lack of downstream monitoring and analysis.
Moreover, there are microorganisms that have adapted and are resistant to chlorine treatment (eg. Pseudomonas, Cryptosporidium) or can overcome its biocidal effect (eg. Legionella). Their presence in water is not detected through classical chemical testing and therefore using chemical testing alone without additional microbial testing can lead to inconclusive results with regards to microbial contamination.
The ExactBlue testing system is an easy-to-use smartphone-based nanotech platform that screens for total microbial contamination as well as for biocides all on one platform. Quick, convenient, and accurate, ExactBlue is an indispensable tool for your water quality management strategy.
How does it work?
Our microbial-sensing technology is based on functionalized nanoparticles engineered to provide high sensitivity with quick response times, enabling a range of field applications. More specifically, the ExactBlue detection system uses specially created gold nanoparticles with a shape and charge designed to efficiently attach to the cell membrane of bacteria and other microorganisms. This reaction produces a measurable color change of the gold nanoparticle solution.

(Review originally written at 21 March 2009)
Well, I must say that this sequel is a step up from the first movie, which is mainly due to the fact that it's characters and action are all better and even its visuals are more impressive. However it also still has some of the same problems of the first movie.
Even though I always enjoyed watching "Hellboy" you also have to be fair and say that the movie is really not without its flaws. This is also the case with "Hellboy II: The Golden Army". Sure, it's perfect simple entertainment and there is nothing wrong with that but its flaws prevent this movie from being a truly great and memorable movie from Guillermo del Toro.
Even though its an highly imaginative movie, it isn't a very original one to watch. Its story is pretty simple and really not that original. The only think that really still makes the movie great and original to watch are its characters and imaginative visuals from Guillermo del Toro, which has really become his trademark- and distinctive style. This is also the reason why people always praise his movies so highly but when you look deeper into this movie, you'll just have to say that it's not really a that great one.
Basically when you analyze the movie and its story, the movie is nothing more than the one action sequence after the other. Sure, there is very little wrong with the action but it often happens to quickly after the other previous action sequences and also ends too abruptly, causing some potential good and interesting characters to disappear out of the movie too quickly. Still the movie is given some more depth this time with its story, which means that the main characters themselves are more interesting this time. This especially goes for the Selma Blair and Jeffrey Tambor character.
Just like the first movie, this movie has a pretty awesome main villain but he also gets underused a bit. His motivations are too simple and not developed well enough into actions. Lets hope that in a possible sequel they also start to concentrate a bit more on its main villain, rather than just on its main heroes and putting in many more different new characters. It will give the movie some more substance.
Of course I still really enjoyed watching this movie but once you start to take away the movie its visual, very little will be left over from it and "Hellboy II: The Golden Army" would had been a very simple and below average modern superhero movie. Thank God for Guillermo del Toro and his attempt- and passion for the franchise to still make the movie a visually great and entertaining one to watch. Also thank God for Ron Perlman, who simply is Hellboy and gives the character and movie so much extra.

Drama as house collapses into road
PUBLISHED: 15:39 03 September 2014 | UPDATED: 15:39 03 September 2014
Emergency services was called to East Budleigh this afternoon, when a house collapsed into the road.
The fire service was called to the incident, in Hayes Lane, because the side wall of the house was said to be at risk of collapse – but by the time they got there, it was too late.
Exmouth Fire Station watch manager Dan Searle said: "On arrival, the cob wall had actually collapsed. It was the entire wall of the house, which was under renovation.
"No-one was injured – everyone was clear.
"We were just there for scene safety, isolating the electricity and the water."
Devon and Cornwall Police also attended the incident.

This is a draft of the SCP idea I've been having. It's nowhere near finished, but I'd like to know how the ideas are sounding so far, how it flows, etc.
It's the 'pinecone people' tab.
[EDIT]: As a serious note, would the idea be made better or worse if the pinecone people were more hostile? Would that give it a greater sense of gravitas? I know that could come off as the "plant-what-does-kill-people" angle…but would it work?

This is a draft of the SCP idea I've been having. It's nowhere near finished, but I'd like to know how the ideas are sounding so far, how it flows, etc.
I really like this idea and think it is written well. I had a few snags on reading to do with the flow. I have provided suggestion as to how I would phrase it but this is by no means the correct or only way to write it.
the incredible rapidity in which SCP-XXXX displaces other plant species in the areas in which they grow.
I would phrase this 'incredibly rapid displacement of competing species in the area.'
Specimens of SCP-XXXX-1 exhibit several anomalous characteristics.
I would phrase ' Specimens of SCP-XXXX-1 exhibit several evolutionary advancements over other species of their genus.'
I think this helps to enforce the dominance of the species you imply throughout.
the self-sustenance, preservation of existing populations of SCP-XXXX-1 and the creation of new ones.
as 'self-sustenance and the preservation and proliferation of the species.'
SCP-XXXX-2 perform rudimentary photosynthesis while 'consuming' quantities of sap from SCP-XXXX-1 from through specialized organs at the base of the parent trees.
I hope these observations help you. I look forward to seeing this SCP develop.
Thank you for those edits. Sometimes flow of language is the hardest thing to maintain in an article.
This is a minor botany nit-pick:
SCP-XXXX-2 are the fruit produced by
Conifers don't produce fruit. Fruits are fertilized, enlarged ova. Cones are structures which contain sporangia, which create spores (i.e. seeds or pollen), so cones are more like flowers. The botanical word for cones is "strobili". Of course, if you don't want to de-rail the reader with botany jargon you could just say "spore producing structures".
Yeah, I knew that cones aren't really fruit, but I didn't want to be repetitive and say 'cones' a billion times…I think I will change it to strobili. Thank you.
> DNA testing of SCP-XXXX has revealed few genetic disparities between P. sitchensis, despite SCP-XXXX's anomalous properties. Due to these genetic similarities, SCP-XXXX can be considered a subspecies of P. sitchensis and are hereby designated P. sitchensis x anthroposporon.
Is…this how it works? This is an honest question that I don't know because I really haven't studied the area, but from an uninformed casual reader glance, it seems…sketchy.
Actually, yes. Since about the 1960s, organisms are grouped based on their evolutionary history (i.e. phylogenetic nomenclature), not on their physical characteristics, so if the DNA implies that SCP-XXXX is a descendant of the Sitka spruce, then this is appropriate.
However, the name should be P. sitchensis ssp. anthroposporon. The italics are always used with the nomenclature, except that "ssp." is not italicized. Personally, I am opposed to giving scientific names to SCPs, but if you want to do it, that's how it should look.
EDIT: Note also, that for SCP-XXXX to be a ssp. of Sitka spruce, then it must be capable of interbreeding with the non-anomalous tree. You might want to address that, or at least give some indication of how the Foundation discovered that it could do so.
Thank you for confirming my science. It's good to know I'm doing it right.
On the topic of scientific names for SCPs, I was somewhat inspired by SCP-1280, which assigns a species of hookworm the provisional nomenclature Necator americanus ssp. mnemosyne.
Oh, that's where you got the "x" from. I'd never seen that before, so I "corrected" it to "ssp." You might want to ask the original author of 1280 what he was thinking. Maybe "x" is supposed to mean "anomalous variant of" instead of "subspecies".
Just checking to make sure. Also, it was indeed originally in italics, but formatting doesn't stick when you copy+paste.
Thank you for the criticisms, though—they're incredibly valid and I will address them. As stated before, it's still just a first draft.
On the topic of the SCP's deadliness….I haven't written those Incident Reports yet. You'll see.
Also, I should just accept it when Azzleflux says I got the Security Clearances wrong.
Level 5's are mostly 05 aside from Senior Staff.
Ummm, no.
The only level 5s are O5s. That's a letter O, not a number 0, by the way.
"Senior Staff" is an out-of-universe role on the site; specifically experienced authors whose opinions are respected, but have no powers. Senior Staff are above regular contributing members but below Moderators.
I am a Senior Staff member. Dr. Mackenzie is a Level 4 Senior Researcher and Observer.
Sorry for misconception, better informed now.
Had this weird notion in my head about it.
The only level 5s are O5s. That's a letter O, not a number 0, by the way.
Highest ranking Senior Staff; most personnel at this clearance level are Overseers. Certain members of Senior Staff have been given Level 5 clearance due to repeated need to work on Keter level SCP objects.
(from Security Clearance Levels)
He's right. He might be conflating IC Senior Staff with wiki Senior Staff, which would be an obvious mistake, but otherwise, he's technically spot-on. We might want to rephrase that guide to clear up any confusion; the phrase "Senior Staff" should probably never be used in an IC context.
Sorry if I was causing any confusion there, guys.
See, on the Security Clearance Levels page, it specifically states that researchers below Level-5 have access to non-Keter level objects—I just didn't want to be incorrect when designating who could or could not grant access to one of these areas.
Now, for the record, the pseudo-canon depiction of the Foundation's security clearance level system is still pretty fucking stupid, but it's what we have at the moment. You're not wrong on this particular front by the documentation we have up right now.
periodic facilities
I mean that, if we imagine the perimeter as a border enclosing the affected area, there would be facilities placed at set intervals along the perimeter. The forests that these things form are enormous. I haven't added it in yet, but the idea is that the first forest was discovered in the Pacific Northwest and was spreading, fast.
superficially resembling greatly enlarged cones
Around .5 to 1 meter in length.
Sapience or sentience?
Non-sapient. Think ants, but no queen.
Also, it doesn't seem deadly, but the idea was that the first contact with these things would have resulted in these pinecone people encountering humans, seeing them as an obstacle, and deliberately removing them. The tone doesn't bely that, I'm aware…do you think it still works/can work in the context of the article?
Also, for some reason I apparently fail at wikisyntax—blockquotes didn't want to work for me. Bolded text here indicates either questions Azzleflux posited or quotes from the draft itself.
For some reason, the title of this one intrigued me more than the actual article did.

Current Mortgage interest Rates for second homeActual mortgage interest rates for second homes
Purchase mortgage for rent | Hypotheken
An £70,000 mortgage due over 15 years, first on a 5 year 5 year fixed interest at 3.58% and then on our subsequent mortgage which is currently 3.20% above Danske Bank (UK) base interest of 0.75% (variable) for the remainder 10 years, would involve 64 £502.93 per month and 116 511.39 per month respectively.
At £91,508.65, the aggregate amount to be paid would be the amount of the principal plus interest (£21,508.65). There is also a £999 premium charge, a 175 premium charge and a 125 mortgage withdrawal charge. Real price depends on your circumstance, please ask for a personal artwork.
Purchase to rent a mortgage
When you are considering renting a real estate object, there are a number of things that need to be taken into account. If you are willing to continue, we can help you find the best mortgage purchase and help you with the mortgage application procedure. This comprehensive Buy to Let guidebook addresses the most important issues to consider when taking out a Buy to Let mortgage and includes the following topics: What are the risk?
Q. What can I lend to finance a sale to buy real estate? CMME has privileged program rights that are almost entirely dependent on the rent that your acquisition is likely to earn. That means they only have to provide minimum evidence of your earnings when they apply for a mortgage.
The majority of creditors will, however, demand that the anticipated lease will cover between 125 and 145% of your mortgage payment. Q. Can I buy a second home instead of a rented one? This has become a increasing interest for those looking for a second home or an escape. Mortgage programs are specifically designed to help mortgage owners take full account of the increasing number of mortgage product leases that are purchased by independents, and can help you ensure funding without having to demonstrate that your own earnings can sustain both credits.
Q. If I want to move, but cannot or do not want to move my current home. Through the reversal of the buy-to-lease approach, CMME can broker a mortgage on your existing land to fund the acquisition of a new home. Let to buy' is an excellent choice if you can't or don't want to buy your current home, but would like to buy a new one.
Q. Got an actual place to rent. CMME can arranging a re-mortgage that allows you to change to an alternate schedule while releasing a portion of the capital of your leased assets. This way, a bigger credit can be cheaper than the current one because we take the entire local economy into account when looking for a price that is competitively priced.
Q. Do I have to owe a higher interest than with a private mortgage? Slightly higher interest rates are the rule for "buy to let" mortgage loans. The main reason for this is the perceived lack of security of rent mortgage loans compared to those linked to a home that is regarded as a long-term home.
It is possible for CMME within one working day of the start of your first agreement to make a purchase. Since buy to let mortgage loans are usually on the amount of anticipated rentals, the amount of free space left on your lease is usually not important. Q. How long does the mortgage processing take?
To a large extent, this will depend on which creditor both you and the CMME choose to match your situation best. In some cases, however, within a few moments your credit can be approved by the CMME. Normally, both CMME and the creditor require evidence that your current mortgage has been repaid to this day, and two identification cards.
It would be sensible for an ARLA-registered landlord to evaluate the rent of the new building in view of the first subscription. F Do I have to pay expensive loyality clause to get a mortgage? CMME prides itself on maintaining competitively priced interest rates while at the same time eliminating programs that do not allow you to openly and honestly bill your entire outlay.
There have been too many shoppers tried by creditors who offer a low overhead framing rates, only to find that they are suffering higher rates over long durations and are punished with dues and dues when they try to free themselves. There is a range of competitively priced plans that we can offer you that will allow you to postpone your loan at any point in your life or at least allow you this flexibility once your current interest rates expire.
Q. How will my mortgage interest rates change after the end of the original program? CMME will contact you to review your option two month prior to the expiration of a discount from which you benefit. CMME compares the current lender's offering with what is available elsewhere in the mortgage industry and will endeavor to make sure that you receive competitively priced interest rates throughout the term of your mortgage.
Q. I have a principal mortgage, an amortizable credit. Should I just go interest or principal on this new buy? An. Your advisor will discuss the advantages of both, but most CMME customers decide to take out an interest-based mortgage for the purpose of purchasing real estate. It keeps their redemptions lower and will help them comply with the 125% principle - where rent must pay back between 125 and 145% - which is used by most creditors.
Make sure you have an arrangement in place - a committed consultant will analyse your needs and basically agree an arrangement that you can use to negotiate and offer a real estate deal. Finding your ideal home can be both thrilling and frightening, finding out how much you can rent can help you limit your quest.
When you have found your real estate, you can now begin negotiating a sale for it. Your Buy to Let mortgage's maximal amount is based on the rent return of the real estate, which must be 125% of the yearly mortgage payments. Please get in touch with your advisor to get the mortgage applied for - once you have arranged a sale for your home, you should call or e-mail your advisor and we can get the mortgage applied for.
In this phase, your advisor will present you to your special mortgage originator who will make sure that your mortgage request goes well. The mortgage request "goes live" - you need various types of ID to handle your request. Investigations and surveying of buildings are performed on the site - various controls such as site survey and surveying are performed to safeguard you and the creditor.
Once all search queries and polls of creditors have been concluded, we urge your creditor to prepare a form mortgage quote. Happy birthday, you are now the proud possessor of a buy to let property! Buy to let estate! As of April 2016, lessors must add 3% to each tax tape when purchasing an addition real estate.
Mortgage interest rates are expected to fall below the current trend in the near future. At present, lessors can charge interest on the purchase to make mortgage repayments. In essence, this allows the individual to set off the interest against the rent so that he only has to foot his limit on profits. In spite of the changes, there are still a number of advantages to setting up a real estate portfolios.
No matter what happens to the mortgage markets, there will always be a need for rentals. The mortgage rates for housing and rentals are still at their lowest levels and the Bank of England's key interest rates are showing no sign of movement. It is also possible to use your private company with restricted liability to purchase an extra real estate.
To find out more about buying to rent mortgages and to find out what is available to you, please call 01489 555 080 to talk to a mortgage advisor.

And we now return for the exciting, startling conclusion of THE LOST TRIBE. When we last saw our heroes, Todd the handsome Wraith had taken control of the spaceship Daedalus. And now, he makes his heinous demands!
Todd: "I can hardly contain myself. We're getting married! Dick said yes!"
Zelenka: "What the f***??"
Woolsey: "I expect high-quality gifts. None of that Wraith-Wally-World junk, remember that, Sheppard!"
Chuck: "Wow, I knew Woolsey was lonely, but…"
Sheppard just grinds his teeth. He can't believe it! Todd had been leading him on all that time and, and-- he was dumped for … Woolsey! The bastard!
Zelenka: "I know that look, colonel. Mr. Woosley will not stand for a junky wedding gift."
Sheppard: "You know that it's gonna take us HOURS to get to the nearest planet for a decent gift. And I wouldn't even bother but my annual review is coming up."
Teyla decides to stay quiet. Ignorance is bliss….
And the communications lady just shakes her head,when she sees that the colonel is dragooning Zelenka into the gift search.
Meanwhile, the news spreads like wildfire of the shocking upcoming nuptials as well as their role in the wedding.
Keller: "Just great. Marvelous. Always the bridesmaid, never the bride."
Rodney: "Jackson's the best man? Why not ME?"
Sheppard: "Because you don't know how to throw a bachelor party."
Daniel (quickly seeing an out): "If you really want to—"
Rodney: "Sure. No, wait. You're trying to trick me."
Todd is enjoying his newfound position.
Todd: "Open hailing frequencies! Warp speed ahead!"
Flunky #1: "Warp what?"
Todd: "Never mind. Tell the Lanteans they have, oh, three hours to come up with gifts for the wedding or else we will, hmm, blow up the city."
Flunky #2: "We will? Which button do I push?"
Todd decides that maybe Woolsey-kins was right. They should register for the wedding and put 'instruction manual for Daedalus' at the top of the list.
Chuck (to Sheppard): "Sir, it's rather late at night and well, the nearest Wraith-Wally-World is closed."
But since when does Sheppard obey orders? He's got a history of disobeying orders and figures, eh, what Woolsey doesn't know, won't kill him, plus, they just got all the walls repainted from the last attack on the city and damned if he's going to help McKay hang framed diplomas again so they're perfectly level. That's two hours of his life he's never gonna get back.
Temporary hottie co-pilot: "Wraith Wally World dead ahead, sir."
Sheppard wonders just what he should get Todd (grrrr) for the wedding.. a tea set, or a vial of Hoffan anti-wraith virus in an aftershave bottle? Hmm, decisions, decisions.
Sheppard leads his team on a search and destroy, er, find and leave an IOU (maybe) for a wedding gift for Woolsey and, grrr, Todd. Yeah, a Chia pet stuffed with C4 sounds perfect….
Meanwhile, in another part of Wraith Wally World….
Daniel is trying to make a selection of goodies for the party, while Rodney ponders why his fellow geek isn't losing his hair like him and Zelenka. Maybe it's something in the Pegasus Galaxy…
Daniel instructs Rodney on the ways of bachelor parties.
Daniel: "First, make sure no one has a camera, or else it will all end up on YouTube and you'll never get a Nobel Prize."
McKay: "But I could sell the video and make millions, right? Sex tapes sell."
Daniel: "Uh…."
Yes, Daniel has scored the rare Birdwrigthian pickled egg. They're 200% proof, which means whatever happens at the party, no one will remember, so he can quickly escape the festivities while everybody else gets totally plastered.
But oops, Daniel is caught by one of Wraith Wally World's dedicated rent-a-guards.
In another part of the giganormous discount complex, Ronon and Keller are prying open doors looking for good gifts, unaware of Sheppard's new decision to just grab something off the cheap shelves in the sale section.
After Ronon breaks another fingernail trying to pry open a door, he goes nuts, blasting open the door. Or, maybe he's just blow-drying his hair. Hard to tell.
Alas, they just find dead Wraith, victims of the last white sale where things just got REALLY ugly…
Ronon: "We're screwed."
Keller: "But I'm dating Rodney. I mean, um, umm…"
And in one of those never-before-seen-moments in a TV show, one of the rent-a-guards actually is paying attention to the security cameras. Whoa! Intruders. But they're foolish intruders, so if they set off any booby-traps, at least nothing of value will be destroyed. They're in the bargain basement area so any destroyed merchandise can be written off on their tax returns.
Insert off-screen KABOOM, with shrieks, screams, etc. followed by several minutes of deathly boring ads for pharmaceuticals you'll never use because you're not the correct demographic…
Teyla: "John, are you all right?"
Sheppard: "Whoa, when they said 'do not remove label under penalty of law,' they sure weren't kidding."
Zelenka (on floor): "Ugh, I have glass embedded in my back. I've been… how do they say it? Whumped, yes, I've been whumped. Help."
Will Zelenka be helped, or will he just lie there on the floor while blood leaks copiously from the multitude of lacerations, and is Sheppard really okay, or did he get a subdural hematoma from being smacked in the head from hitting the floor after being knocked for a loop by the explosion?
Oh wait, sorry, dog needs to go out so the story must end here. In the meantime, you can ponder just why Sheppard removed the tag… ;) And oh yeah, whatever became of Daniel, and just where did Rodney get to???

Should you're a house owner, you've probably taken on some form of residence improvement venture and used instruments to accomplish the duties. Hiring people who have the required expertise can save you money and time, too. Each mission begins with a plan. Talk about what you want with the contractor and if the estimate is excessive, ask them how you can cut back the prices. All these factors have to be taken into account as you pare down your listing into inexpensive house improvement tasks.

This are enhancements such because the roof, sidings, better water and sewage methods, doors and home windows, extending your own home and measures to make your private home more simply reached for disabled and handicapped individuals.
In case you're planning to take on a more intensive residence improvement challenge, you may want to start out wanting into power saws, sanders and tile cutters. Cleaning your property and yard is a good improvement venture, and if you are remodeling, will probably be the ultimate step after the dust has settled.
Your house's worth should not be more than 20{44a540b9174d3e6704acb0ddf8edb247e5f04f1d442daa15329bdaa9d766cc5a} above the common, which implies that a $10,000 kitchen enchancment mission well could possibly be a greater funding than a $10,000 scorching tub, particularly if yours will be the only house within the area with a sizzling tub.
How To Avoid Residence Enchancment Fraud
Home Enchancment Projects That Really Pay Off
Another factor to not neglect is to ask a contractor to present a quote of the price of the additions before signing the mortgage papers or deposit check.

Grants For Residence Improvement
Home Improvement could be essentially the most rewarding expertise you possibly can embark on, in the event you just like the do-it-your self thing. Inside portray and exterior portray must be subsequent in your listing of most popular residence improvement projects. Now keep in mind a few of these contractors PAY to even be a part of such companies to not point out the necessities they've to satisfy as far as skills, references, and work history.
The web is a wealthy storehouse of articles on a wide range of topics proper from reworking kitchens and bathrooms, to ground planning and insulation, then area saving, wallpaper, sanitation and so forth. Nonetheless, any house improvement restore entails a certain quantity of expenditure and thus planning out a cost price range and then taking one step at a time could be the wisest thing to observe.
Primary Instruments For House Improvement Projects
You've got your eye on the out-dated kitchen otherwise you suppose you might want to simply tear up your carpeting and install hardwood flooring, however before you start to rip out the cabinets or the carpet make certain to establish some pointers for your house enchancment plan. No John Doe is going to pay any amount of money to promote and receive work from individuals who expect the most effective, except they can back it up. It is strongly advisable that before you hire a contractor or begin any enchancment works that you acquire advice from you tax advisor or from the local workplace of the IRS.
These enhancements add to the residing amenity of the house's house owners and often add value to the house. If a move is sooner or later, you want dwelling improvement initiatives that offers you the biggest bang in your buck when it's time to promote. One other thing not to forget is to invite a contractor to give a quote of the cost of the additions earlier than signing the mortgage papers or deposit verify.

Finding funding could also be a venture itself, relying on the scope of your private home improvement plans, For smaller projects, you might be able to save for it from your common family funds. Consult with the IRS concerning the Katrina Emergency Tax Aid Act because it increases the permitted qualifying house improvement loans. The premium tasks that normally require professional help are kitchen transforming first and bathroom reworking second.

But it became an embarrassing, painful few minutes – physically for some in the scrum and viscerally for those watching at home – as CBS sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson tried to talk to Brady while Brady was still trying to celebrate with some and console others.
Knowing full well he was surrounded by cameras and hot mics, Brady did his best to be courteous, asking for space to embrace former teammate Brandin Cooks, now with the Rams, as well as his friend/body guru Alex Guerrero, team owner Robert Kraft, and receiver Julian Edelman.
All the while, a mass of people, at least two dozen, moved as Brady did, crushing one another and Wolfson, who was waiting patiently for her moments with Brady. Cameras were clicking, many were shouting.
At one point the CBS mic picked up someone saying, "Jesus, are you OK?" to someone.
It was a mess.
When she finally got to talk to Brady, Wolfson asked about the notion that "the [Patriots'] dynasty was declining."
Brady credited the Patriots' defense, saying it played its best game of the season, as well as the Rams' defense, but of course said he wished the New England offense had played a little better.

EU Concerned for Future of Venezuelan Democracy
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — The European Union says it is concerned about the future of democracy in Venezuela after the widely-criticized vote to elect a powerful constitutional assembly.
European Commission spokeswoman Mina Andreeva said Monday that such an assembly "elected under doubtful and often violent circumstances cannot be part of the solution."
Andreeva said the weekend poll, held amid protests in which 10 people were killed, "has increased division and will further de-legitimize Venezuela's democratically elected institutions."
Venezuela's National Electoral Council says more than 8 million people voted to grant President Nicolas Maduro's ruling socialist party virtually unlimited powers with a constitutional assembly — a turnout more than double the estimates of both the government's political opponents and independent experts.
Council president Tibisay Lucena announced just before midnight that turnout in Sunday's vote was 41.53 percent, or 8,089,320 people.
The count was met with mockery and anger from members of the opposition, who said they believed between 2 million and 3 million people voted. One well-respected independent analysis said 3.6 million appeared to have voted.
Andreeva said EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini is working on a "joint response" to developments from the 28-nation bloc but would not be drawn on whether that might involve sanctions.
The U.S. State Department earlier condemned the Venezuelan government for holding a vote to elect a powerful National Constituent Assembly, calling it a step toward authoritarian rule.

The beautiful pebbly beach of Gerolimenas is where you can have a revitalising swim in crystal clear turquoise waters or take long promenades by its shores. Equally interesting are its numerous tavernas for lunch or dinner.
Have an enjoyable walk along the narrow alleys of the village and admire the distinctively unique architectural style of the stone tower houses of Mani.
Visit the beach of Marmari which will bewilder you with its double act (!) and with its crystal clear waters and golden sand. It is located just outside the village of Vathia, at 15 km from Gerolimenas Tip: Most people who visit the beach are not aware of the second beach which promises a unique secluded setting. To approach it, take the path through the village of Marmari and it will lead you to it within a 10 minute walk. Make sure you have a good supply of water with you!
A swim at the beach of Almyros is an absolute must…You will find it on the road to Marmari village and it is part of the archaeological site of Kyparissos. Dive into its seductively turquoise waters and make an effort to have a closer look at the big cave at the farthest end of its shore. You will feel as if you are located amidst a movie scenery.
Just before arriving at Vathia village, turn to the path and walk for around 10 minutes in order to access the supreme Kapi beach, which is characterised by its unique setting and its pebbly sand. Only a few lucky people know of its existence and you may have a hard time finding the way, but it is definitely worth the effort!
Enjoy a swim and a luncheon of fresh fish at any of the three small tavernas of Porto Cayio. Thankfully, you can obtain a large parasol from the locals and remain at the beach for the whole day. Starting from Gerolimenas, a 25 minute drive will suffice to reach this cool paradise.
Head to Cape Tainaro and the area's picturesque bay which constitutes the southern peak of East Europe and the second southernmost peak of continental Europe (after Gibraltar). Enjoy your swim at Kokkinogia beach and then take the path which leads to the glorious lighthouse of Tainaro. Press here and find out more about the historical importance of the site.
Drive your way across the region's countless villages and visit the nearby areas which cherish valuable spots of interest. We suggest that you head to the village of Vathia accessible within a half-hour drive towards Marmari and Cape Tainaro. Owe is what you will feel when you first see this settlement which offers numerous stone towers for your admiration. A promenade in its alleys will be your best ever experience. TIP: The village is not a tourist attraction as such, so chances are you will not find a selection of tavernas and cafés as one would expect. Nonetheless, it is worthy of your visit.
Visit the town of Githio at about 50 km from Gerolimenas which is one of the most picturesque towns of the region of Mani. Feast your eyes to the typical architecture of the region - the tower houses made of stone – and discover the Historical and Ethnological Museum, as well as, the site of the famous "shipwreck". Conclude your morning excursion by swimming at any of the superb beaches at the vicinity, such as Kamares, Kalivia, Panagea and Skoutari.
Discover the small natural port of Alipa for its stunning setting and swim at the homonymous beach which has bright white pebbles. If you feel like lunching, there is a small, cute taverna right above the beach which offers very appetizing dishes.
Do not omit to visit the Diros Caves which are located on the road between Gerolimenas and Areopolis. The Caves are well-lit and full of stalactites where the light reflections are remarkably interesting. Excavations on site have brought to the light of day evidence of prehistoric occupation, thus, signify the archaeological importance of the area. After having seen the caves you can conclude your excursion by swimming at the superb beach of Diros.

When most people think of the word household. female parent. male parent. kids. and relatives instantly come to mind. If you look up the word in the Oxford English lexicon you would read:
fam·i·ly ( fam'?-le . fam'le ) n. – the group of individuals dwelling of the parents and their kids. whether really populating together or non ; in wider sense. the integrity formed by those who are about connected by blood or affinity. While all this can be true of a household. it is non the merely or the right manner that household can be defined. Family is more accurately described as a group of people who might non be related by blood or matrimony but who unfeignedly attention and love each other. They are at that place for you every measure of the manner and supply support you could ne'er acquire anyplace else.
Since the beginning. households have been the edifice blocks of any society. Almost every facet of our lives involves the term household. In our faith we are portion of a "family" of trusters. At Penn State we are portion of one large "family" of pupils and module. One individual unites our state as a "family" whom we all look towards for counsel. While these illustrations might be accepted by society today. it merely describes household in wide footings. Family love is much deeper than all of that and is the love you portion with your friends and relations.
One really common misconception about household. as seen in the Oxford definition. is that its members about ever have to be related by blood. matrimony. or acceptance. In truth. household is anyone you love and care about and who besides feels the same manner about you. German poet Johann Schiller described household absolutely when he said ; "It is non flesh and blood but the bosom which makes us male parents and boies. " I believe that my household is non merely my parents. my small brother and my other relations. but besides my best friends. My grandaunt is my blood relation but she knows every bit much about me as the following individual. For illustration. my friend Caitlin can state you anything you would of all time desire to cognize refering me and we can practically read each other's head. I am non stating that my grandaunt is non considered portion of my household but Caitlin is merely every bit much as my aunt.
Family goes hand-in-hand with friendly relationship. In order to hold a household you need friendship. My household and I do non acquire along merely because we are forced to populate together. My household are my best friends and we get along because we truly love each other and want to be with each other. Every household is traveling to hold its jobs. but in the terminal no 1 can deny the love they have for each other.
In today's society most people consider household to be merely blood dealingss but in world household is made of the bonds you portion with those you care for the most. Family is a wholly necessary constituent of anyone's life. Your household helps you through the tough times. They provide the needful support to acquire you through life. Family cares about what happens to you. are ever at that place for you. and above all. they love you no affair what.

For the past two years, I have picked a theme, a guiding principal, a "Phrase of the Year" (before "Word of the Year" was a thing) to help my family get better with our spending, saving, and investing.
In 2017, I picked one new habit each month to get better at, so we could improve our productivity with investing and earning.
In 2018, we focused on spending 20% less, each and every month, at the grocery store, so we could save more.
In 2019, I thought about a lot of behaviors we could focus on. We want better relationships, better health. But we still struggle with over-spending, too. And our spending experiments have worked pretty well to change our behavior.
So 2019 is the year for money experiments.
Each month, we'll perform a different money experiment to see how we do.
What type of money experiments? Well, anything that will help us spend less or save more.
We're really focused more on spending behavior this year than earning behavior, so all the experiments will focus on the demand side of the equation, i.e., the money going out of our bank accounts.
This year, we'll engage in twelve money experiments designed to help us reexamine our spending patterns and hopefully, get better at them. 2019 is The Year of Good Money.
Stop Eating Out: Over the past five year, we have averaged over $250 per month in eating out. Do we really need to eat out that much? Does it bring us $250 in enjoyment? I suspected that it doesn't, so I thought that January would be a good month to experiment with not eating out for 30 days. I talked to the family and explained that we were going to go for one full month without any restaurant trips, to see if we could do it.
How'd we do? Well, I was absolutely shocked to realize that we spent $0 in eating out and hardly noticed. So shocked that I'm carrying the experiment over into February, at least for myself, to see if this is behavior we can permanently change.
Saved: $250.
No Spend February: We did so well with our eating out experiment in January that I thought we could try something more extreme for February. How about a no-spend month? The timing was perfect, because Mr. ThreeYear was traveling quite a bit, there were no family birthdays, and we didn't have any travel plans. I adopted a No Spend February, where I only spent on groceries, gas, and mortgage, to see how much my frugal February behavior influenced that of my family.
How did I do? Here's the breakdown of what I learned. And here's what we saved (over the month before):
Saved: $1093.98
Ok, blogger fail: I forgot to do a challenge in March.
This month, I'm engaging in a Digital Fast, inspired by Cal Newport's book, Digital Minimalism.
Here are my rules:
- No Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter at all during the fast. I removed the apps from my phone. The only exception is that I have an auto-post feature on my blog when I publish a new post, so those posts will publish, but I will not actively visit the sites.
- No checking email on my phone. I removed the app from my phone, and I cannot go to the internet to check my email (I had to add this rule after the first three days because I found myself doing this, and I determined it wasn't absolutely necessary).
- No Kindle books. I should only read hardback books I check out from the library. The reason for this is that I often check out internet books obsessively, and they are more often than not junk books. This type of reading is more like an addiction and does not bring value to my life; in fact, it decreases my presence for my family.
- I can use the internet at my desk upstairs in my office to write blog posts, check email, and read blog posts. I tend to do this in a more limited way and it's very deliberate, since I have to climb the stairs to get to my computer, so I feel like this is an appropriate use of the internet.
- When appropriate, leave my phone at my desk so that it's not by my side all day.
Will I save money? Will I save my sanity? I'll report back at the end of this month.
Saved: TBD

Jonathan Rea is FIM Superbike world champion, Kawasaki wins the Manufacturer Championship; Pirelli tyres contribute to improving race time by six seconds compared to last year
On the Jerez track the Northern Irish rider clinched the first world championship of his career in Race 1 with two rounds still left in the Championship and the manufacturer from Akashi, thanks in part to the performance of team mate Tom Sykes, wins its first ever Superbike Manufacturer Championship
Pirelli continues their development work that has been done throughout the year: at Jerez the tyre manufacturer improves race time, Jonathan Rea sets the new lap record and Tom Sykes sets the new track fast lap
|Giorgio Barbier crowns Jonathan Rea
|Jonathan Rea parc fermé
A crash in the sixteenth lap by Michael Vd Mark and Matteo Baiocco overtaking Michele Pirro for sixth place were another two important episodes before the win went to Chaz Davies, crossing the line with a gap of almost two seconds ahead of Jordi Torres and more than two ahead of Leon Haslam who finished on the bottom step of the podium. Jonathan Rea's fourth place and Tom Sykes' fifth place were enough for Kawasaki to mathematically win the Manufacturer Championship. In the Superstock 1000 FIM Cup, Roberto Tamburini (Team MotoxRacing), winning the race, remains the only potential contender in the fight for the title with Lorenzo Savadori (Nuova M2 Racing). In fact, finishing the race in third place, the latter now has a 25 point advantage over the BMW rider, but if Tamburini were to win the race at Magny-Cours and Savadori were to finish without points, Team Motoxracing rider would win the Championship because even with the same points and wins he would have won the last race. The championship title will therefore come down to the last round which will be held in two weeks on the French circuit. For the record, the second step of the podium went to Raffaele de Rosa (Althea Racing). Yesterday the penultimate race of the FIM Superstock 600 World Championship was also held. With the world title already safe in hand, Turkish rider Toprak Razgatlioglu (Kawasaki Puccetti Racing) preferred to stay off the track due to pain from a clavicle broken during training. This round it was Michael Ruben Rinaldi (San Carlo Team Italia) for the win ahead of Spaniard Augusto Fernandez (Pata-Honda Junior Team) and Davide Stirpe (Scuderia Maran.ga Racing). The comment from Giorgio Barbier, Pirelli Moto Racing Director: "First and foremost I would like to congratulate our new World Superbike Champion Jonathan Rea and Kawasaki Racing Team. Rea had a truly extraordinary season and he demonstrated superior performance that I don't think has ever been seen before in the history of the World Superbike Championship. His consistency and tenacity were rewarded and I'm happy for him because he has always been a very fast rider and this year he was able to show everyone his great talent. As always, success is never the merit of an individual. Rea had a great team of mechanics and technicians supporting him who made an important contribution to winning this title and, more generally, Kawasaki did an exceptional job, as is demonstrated by Tom Sykes placing in the Championship as well. As for the performance of our tyres, we are quite satisfied. We brought new solutions to Jerez both for Superbike and Supersport which performed well in some cases, and not so well in other cases, so we need to follow up with more testing. Obviously development does not stop here for us but will also continue in the next two rounds and, above all in the tests tomorrow, where we will be providing other new solutions for the riders, both front and rear, and we'll be making some final assessments of the work done this year in order to make further improvements in 2016." The Pirelli solutions chosen by the riders: In Superbike various solutions were used by the riders. On the front the most popular tyre in both races was the S1699 SC1 development solution, the one most used in 2014 and 2015. In fact, this option provides greater support going into turns which favours a more precise ride. The début of the new T1616 was also good, an SC1 compound tyre that had never before been brought to the races but which the riders had tested during the tests at Portimão in June and which was quite popular here at Jerez thanks to its greater stability and precision with respect to the standard SC1. Six riders in all used this second solution, including the two Kawasaki standard bearers, Tom Sykes and Jonathan Rea. The second most used solution was the new T1616, an SC1 compound tyre that had never before been brought to the races but which the riders had the opportunity to test during the tests at Portimão in June. A total of seven riders used this second solution, including the two Kawasaki standard bearers, Tom Sykes and Jonathan Rea On the rear the two available solutions were more or less equally popular with the riders. Chosen by about 3/5 of the riders, the T0611 SC0 development solution was introduced at Imola and then also brought to Portimão, Misano, Laguna Seca and Sepang. It uses a very soft compound which is able to provide an extremely high level of grip if used at high temperatures. On the first four rows of the grid all the riders used this solution with the exception of Canepa, Baiocco and Salom. The riders who did not use this tyre opted for the Standard SC0. In the Supersport class about 80% of the riders chose the SC1 compound S1485 development solution for the front which was first used at Misano in 2014 and this year in Australia, Spain, Holland, Italy, Great Britain, Portugal, the USA and Malaysia. On the rear, in addition to the soft standard solution, Pirelli brought two development solutions, also in SC0 compound, but in a larger 190/60 size. Of these, the most used was the U0757, which had been developed mainly for Phillip Island.
