A DNBer :-)[edit]
Gday. By now I do hope that you have come across WS:DNB.
As a couple of pointers. For links internal to the wiki, especially between DNB articles, we created {{DNB lkpl}}, and I munged together {{d}} which crunches something like {{subst:d|Peter Paul|Benazech}} to give Peter Paul Benazech. We have a number of other tricks and guidance on the page. — billinghurst sDrewth 12:44, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
- thank you, i only saw that at MoS after doing a couple of piped links. will try to return and fix those. expect to get some transcription done at DNB. please note any obvious errors, that i can avoid. Slowking4 (talk) 13:14, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
- Hello there, thanks for the DNB contributions. I've fixed up the three "problem" articles on your userpage: different transclusion problems (page range, markup issue, missing text). Charles Matthews (talk) 07:40, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
- Two further ones: it was the same each time, missing </poem> further up the page confusing the transclusion. Charles Matthews (talk) 07:06, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
- Two more: markup, one an extra row of ####, the other was d. that had got in by mistake. Charles Matthews (talk) 07:05, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
- thanks, i've been fight the #### in ie. the nice thing about the article transclusion is that it catches the code errors, and disambigs. i see you're moving some article names, which i mindlessly got from toc, there is some confusion between the volume toc, and the author page list; and typos, will try to cleanup. Slowking4 (talk) 13:37, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
- There's a point you might note about "tacit disambiguation", which comes up frequently. Basically if the first part of a name occurs as the initial part of another name, we put in dates. The point of the messy lists is to generate better ToCs; they have been typed in from a handbook, onto the author pages; and then sorted. They still have their problems (disambiguations, and the fact that the order isn't correct). I use them to check that the author pages tally with the correct names as created, when redlinks show up. Keep up the good work. A couple of things to look out for: "bom" for "born" is a common typo to miss. Also dates are subject to OCR errors: "l" for "1" is very common, and it happens frequently that 5 is read as 6. Charles Matthews (talk) 22:14, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
Speedy deletes?[edit]
Sorry to bother you but I felt it best to double check before I went ahead and deleted all These DNB articles. It seems you did blank the pages but another User, who is not a regular such as yourself (in my view at least), went further and tagged them all with {{Speedy}} delete today.
In short, I'm just not sure if you intended on finishing them up and forgot or if you blanked them because they are no longer needed / redundant / created in error and so on. Let me know here either way. Thanks. -- George Orwell III (talk) 21:15, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
- yes thank-you. i was blanking the page, after a cut and paste move, rather that a move, since i didn't think the wrong name was appropriate for a forward. i see it's also done the other way. Slowking4 (talk) 21:23, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
Done -- thanks for your timely reply & good work! -- George Orwell III (talk) 22:01, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
Draft of the Smithson will[edit]
I've realised that I got pages 1 and 3 the wrong way around when creating the DjVu of Smithson's will. I will correct this later today and move the pages of text that you have already proofread when I do so. - AdamBMorgan (talk) 12:42, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
- thanks very much, the smithsonian fellow will be excited (i noticed reading it, it's in letter order 3214). Slowking4 (talk) 12:48, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
{{gap}} takes parameters[edit]
A quick note to say that {{gap}} can be fed with distance, eg.
{{gap|10em}} will put in a ten em gap. — billinghurst sDrewth 15:30, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
- thanks, that will help with variable indents, but how to measure the em space indentation, for instance at the address of a letter for instance [2]; [3]? Slowking4 (talk) 15:36, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
Page triage[edit]
Have you looked over the new patrolling feature I proposed us enabling at the Scriptorium? It does not interfere with the current method of patrolling so no one would be forced to switch if it were brought in. --BirgitteSB 01:23, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
- ok i will give it a try, don't see a wikipedia link; contributor field. Slowking4 (talk) 01:32, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
- the next article appears not to link Miller,_Edward_(DNB00); Miller, George (DNB00). Slowking4 (talk) 13:08, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
"Tacit" disambiguation[edit]
Hi there. By moving Christie, William (1748-1823) (DNB00) to Christie, William (DNB00) you were relying on "tacit" disambiguation from Christie, William Dougal (DNB00). I.e. that the reader would know that the William Christie in question happened not to have a middle name. The project decided quite some time ago that the more robust explicit disambiguation by dates is better in this type of case. Charles Matthews (talk) 20:38, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
- ok, feel free to change back. hard for me to decide between conflicting contributor and volume link. Slowking4 (talk) 20:59, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
The volume ToCs are actually not that reliable. Charles Matthews (talk) 09:42, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
Few things while validating...[edit]
I wasn't sure if you were aware of {{hws}}/{{hwe}} (hyphenated word start/end) for tackling hyphenated words between pages; also, while validating some pages you have proofread, I have been eliminating spaces left before/after some punctuation (quotation marks, colons, semi-colons, exclamation marke, etc.). I thought to address a third issue as well (with regard to {{fs90}}), but as I was beginning to address it, I noticed some possible template issues I had questions about and addressed them at the Scriptorium instead. Thanks, Londonjackbooks (talk) 20:33, 7 December 2012 (UTC):
- yes, i am aware, i plead laziness. the fs90 i picked up from another editor; wrestling with how to show those blocks of quotations through the work. Slowking4 (talk) 21:03, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
- Personally, I like how the following renders in the Main: {{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|Page||
}} / {{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|Page||
}}. I just forgot about it until recently. Add a smaller text size to the equation, and it would look much better in the Mainspace. Londonjackbooks (talk) 23:12, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
- If an agreement can be made on some other type of formatting, I wouldn't be against applying the changes myself; but probably not until next week. Londonjackbooks (talk) 03:30, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
Different topic, but not requiring a whole new section: The DNB author of the "Arnould" article on this page reads "F.R." in the original, but you have (OCR error?) listed it as "F.E." (with a link to another(?) author). I'd look it up, but am short on time, and can't remember exactly where the list of authors are (in Index) for the DNB. Just thought I'd make mention. Thanks, Londonjackbooks (talk) 18:38, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
- thanks, yes, i tend to miss the contributor when copyediting, but pick them up when i transclude later. also clean up contributor bio name versus TOC name conflicts. E for R is common. (new editors with funky lower case in supplement.) Slowking4 (talk) 18:43, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
Thinking about reasons why editors would choose the lazy route here... then I remembered a situation (et. al.) where I got lazy. Londonjackbooks (talk) 21:41, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for training me![edit]
And, I found some aeronautics history in Popular Science Monthly that is immediately useful to my research and I'm reading and proofing that. -- Econterms (talk) 09:31, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
PotM quotation formatting[edit]
Quick note. Londonjackbooks (talk) 22:14, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
- ok, i am agnostic, this seems to be a common practice among printers to show block quotes as smaller type. the indent on the block quote is quite different from the source text. Slowking4 (talk)
- It is... but since the formatting suggestion was made on the Talk page, and no one else 'challenged' it, I thought I'd alert you for the sake of uniformity. At least you are not apathetic. Londonjackbooks (talk) 00:16, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
- ...or lazy ;) Londonjackbooks (talk) 00:34, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
References, Greek & typos[edit]
I wanted to let you know that I re-proofread the page Page:EB1911 - Volume 16.djvu/151 and noted that the reference which started on the previous page continued on to this page, and so I utilized the ref-name/ref-follow method (hoping I handled the reference placement correctly). There was Greek within the reference that was not proofread. If you are unsure of how to add Greek, just place {{Greek missing}} in place of the Greek, and someone will come along and add it for you eventually. I also noted tens of typos, mostly consisting of failure to italicize words or phrases, spelling/character errors, date errors, and failure to remove line spaces. Granted, many of the errors can be difficult to detect (as my eyes can attest to), but there were too many errors overall, in my opinion, to have marked the page as being proofread. Thanks, Londonjackbooks (talk) 17:38, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
- quite right, i've been spoiled by the quality of the ocr's over at DNB. i will stop validating for a while, making more red pages, and use more zoom button for the smaller characters. this is part of my ongoing effort to transcribe EB1911, for articles in wikipedia that are cut paste from there. Slowking4 (talk) 18:52, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
Wikisource meetup or training[edit]
Hey Slowking,
Over the weekend I was talking with Econterms and he mentioned that you might be able to help train Wikipedia editors who are interested in Wikisource. It is tentatively planned for the summer, likely to be in NYC. Is this something you are interested in? - Theornamentalist (talk) 00:32, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
- yes, sure, although, i'm more a proofreader, than coder. i could used some match and split help. Slowking4 (talk) 01:05, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
- Which work do you need match & split help with? I can have a look for you. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 02:04, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
- sorry, it was a more general discontent. but Goddard Rocket Apparatus Patent; from here [4] (didn't get from jpg to dejavu) the process is very opaque to me. need something for non-coders, hence my passing on the desire for a wizard from GLAM archivists. Slowking4 (talk) 02:40, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
- Sorry, not my area of expertise. I just upload documents to IA and hope that they will produce the appropriate go-with files. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 05:08, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
- I'm more of a proofreader myself, never actually (successfully) used M&S myself. Maybe that's something we could work on at the meetup. - Theornamentalist (talk) 02:42, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
- About Goddard, is the problem creating a DjVu file from 3 Jpegs or skipping that stage and creating an Index page based on individual Jpegs? Both are possible. I ask because I seem to have extracted an image from the second page and I haven't done anything with it (and I can't remember why at the moment). - AdamBMorgan (talk) 11:16, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Hübmaier headers[edit]
WE seem to be fomatting these differently on the pages we've done. You've been using the smaller template for dates (but not larger for the section title, I note), whereas I've felt that shrinking the dates isn't imporant, since they won't show up in the transcribed work anyway. Thoughts? --EncycloPetey (talk) 17:50, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
- yeah, flip a coin; last one there gets last word. i was just happy to figure out that "ref follow". this work has some funny across the open page formatting that will get lost in transcription. Slowking4 (talk) 21:58, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
- I started work on a another book with a similar issue, where the pages typically consist of more footnote text than running text. The footnotes can span two, or even three pages sometimes. --EncycloPetey (talk) 15:11, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
- the headers are shruggable, useful mainly for navigating and proofreading. the body and footnotes are more important. note there was also some quoted text in body at reduced font; it has been done 90% in other works. Slowking4 (talk) 15:29, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
- I haven't come across much of that, but our "finer block" template uses 92% rather than 90%. I'm not entirely sure why this is so, but I suspect it has something to do with resultion of text being easier for machines to handle. --EncycloPetey (talk) 15:57, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

Wikisource User Group[edit]
Wikisource, the free digital library is moving towards better implementation of book management, proofreading and uploading. All language communities are very important in Wikisource. We would like to propose a Wikisource User Group, which would be a loose, volunteer organization to facilitate outreach and foster technical development, join if you feel like helping out. This would also give a better way to share and improve the tools used in the local Wikisources. You are invited to join the mailing list 'wikisource-l' (English), the IRC channel #wikisource, the facebook page or the Wikisource twitter. As a part of the Google Summer of Code 2013, there are four projects related to Wikisource. To get the best results out of these projects, we would like your comments about them. The projects are listed at Wikisource across projects. You can find the midpoint report for developmental work done during the IEG on Wikisource here.

Template:DNB LRP[edit]
What I always do is to go to an existing template such as Template:DNB AA, edit the author and initial fields there, copy but don't save, and paste into the new template to save. Charles Matthews (talk) 07:29, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
- yes, thanks for noticing my confusion. the code is very opaque. the template documentation refers to DNB authors not supplement authors. about 20 more to do. Slowking4 (talk) 19:20, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
The "noinclude" stuff is the standard gimmick to get a category on the template page, but not on pages where the template occurs ... Charles Matthews (talk) 08:38, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
Oops, sorry[edit]
You may be getting a notification that I've reverted one of your edits to this page (depending on how you have Echo set up). Sorry about that; it was an accident. I clipped the rollback link when I was counting edits. I rolled back my roll back, so there is no lasting effect, but I thought I should explain. - AdamBMorgan (talk) 18:16, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
- yes, i thought you didn't like the {{smaller|}} for {{small block|}}; no worries. Slowking4 (talk) 18:38, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
Tenth Anniversary Contest winner[edit]
Congratulations, you had the highest score in the Tenth Anniversary Contest. (You actually slightly exceeded the edit count of every other contestant combined!) I will be contacting Wikimedia UK regarding the prize, an e-reader, soon to see how they want to handle that. - AdamBMorgan (talk) 00:07, 14 December 2013 (UTC)
- hopefully, WMUK will not be adverse to my free beer counter proposal prize. failed to recruit any WMDC, will talk it up at holiday party. <shrug> hopefully, can be made an annual contest, like wikicup. Slowking4 (talk) 00:12, 14 December 2013 (UTC)
Hi Slowking. Adam has been in touch and if you drop me an email on richard.nevellwikimedia.org.uk we can start getting the prize sorted. Richard Nevell (WMUK) (talk) 14:26, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
Formatting for Poetical Works of Matthew Arnold[edit]
Hi, Slowking4! Just a heads-up that there are formatting guidelines for this text on the Index Talk page. I have not been using the poem tag, but instead use breaks. Sectioning is also used between poems (also illustrated on the Index Talk page). Thanks for helping! Londonjackbooks (talk) 15:48, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
ref name and follow[edit]
I saw that you skipped some of the pages with split references. The page with instruction is at Help:Footnotes and endnotes. In short
<ref name=pN > (traditional) on first page,
<ref follow=pN > on subsequent page(s). The name is to be the same, and not start with a number, my suggestion is p{{{pagenum}}} of the
name . — billinghurst sDrewth 03:01, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
PotM guidelines[edit]
Hello! Just a heads up that we are not using the poem tag for the Proofread of the Month, but instead use end-of-line breaks. You can see an example of the formatting styling here. Thanks, Londonjackbooks (talk) 22:22, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
Really? So what does "FOBM" mean? And why is there a zero in C0RN? --EncycloPetey (talk) 03:13, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
- hey, i'm just happy to spell Otjombindè right. late at night, when the eyestrain is on, no amount of zoom will help on the ocr spell correct. maybe lighting a fire would work. i can leave them all red if you prefer. Slowking4♡Farmbrough's revenge 21:07, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
- I think the problem is more than, like a lot of folks I've seen here, we get sloppy about not checking the page headers, image captions, and similar things. I've seen this a lot from people here. They check the body text, but not the other text. --EncycloPetey (talk) 00:30, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
- the ocr makes more errors for small caps, fewer errors for normal body text. so correction rate may be same, but more errors to miss in headers & captions. 2 on one page would indicate i was getting sloppy. Slowking4♡Farmbrough's revenge 13:55, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

proofreading and validating[edit]
Slowking4 instead of just proofreading and leaving me validating your work how about doing some validations on my proofreads? Kindest regards, —Maury (talk) 23:48, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
Parser decided to be 'difficult' about whitespace. :( ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 19:29, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
- And fixed. BTW I made the /s and /e versions for a reason. Makes it VERy much easier to do the "examples" entries as embedded ones:) ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 18:48, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
- thanks very much, works well. the paragraph indent for (1) is clever. i would suggest documenting for a general case of tabbed sidenotes, since our gov'ment docs use them a lot. for example: United States Statutes at Large if we had a "how to" manual, we could recruit some non-coders to transcribe.

Thanks for your help with the botanist's guide[edit]
Thanks for your help with the Botanist's guide. It's great to have it completed and all in green! Feeling in an enthusiastic mood I've uploaded the next Northumbrian botany project the New Flora of Northumberland and Durham. If you have any suggestions on formatting that I could follow I'd appreciate them, particularly in the middle of the book where the plants are listed.

- not at all, sorry i got distracted by macarthur photos on commons,
- will return to Index:Transactions of the Natural History Society of Northumberland, Durham, and Newcastle-upon-Tyne 1838 Vol.2.djvu, will look to you to add the species links.
- if you could finish the pagelist at Index:Transactions of the Natural History Society of Northumberland, Durham, and Newcastle-upon-Tyne (1867).djvu, that would be nice. see also Help:Page numbers. check out the proofreading documentation, it has lots of wikicode tips to format the text.

WASHINGTON - In late February, Christopher Cox, the chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, was jolted to learn from news stories that his agency had subpoenaed two financial journalists as part of an investigation.
Coming at a time of acute sensitivity over press freedom and government action against journalists, the subpoenas came from an agency that rarely goes after reporters' records. Moreover, neither Cox nor the SEC's general counsel nor its public affairs office had been told about the subpoenas issued by enforcement attorneys in the commission's San Francisco regional office.
Cox issued a statement Feb. 27, saying he was halting pursuit of the journalists — a move some observers saw as a rebuke of his enforcement director, Linda Thomsen. Three days later, he brought reporters into his 10th-floor conference room and discussed new guidelines the SEC would adopt for subpoenas of the news media.
Cox's actions surprised some observers and brought applause from the Society of American Business Editors and Writers, the largest group representing financial journalists. His initiatives and actions in his seven months as SEC chairman have likewise surprised investor advocates who expected a more free-market approach given his background and orientation.
''It was apparent to me immediately that . . . the media would be very interested and this wouldn't end with the weekend,'' Cox recalled this week in an interview with The Associated Press, saying he was surprised though not angered when he learned of the subpoenas during the weekend of Feb. 25-26. ''It was clear enough by Monday morning that this was an extremely unusual circumstance.''
It was a delicate move for Cox, a deft politician and longtime conservative Republican congressman from California who became the government's top market regulator last August. He has walked a fine line during that time, stressing the importance of protecting investors and cracking down on corporate fraud while also seeking in some cases to avoid imposing changes through regulations.
The SEC's new policy for issuing subpoenas to journalists will not preclude them but will lay out the circumstances under which it is appropriate for the agency to do so in investigations when other means of getting the information are exhausted. In the case at issue, financial writers were subpoenaed in early February for telephone records, e-mails and other material related to online retailer Overstock.com. Their employers objected.
Overstock.com has accused the research firm Gradient Analytics of issuing negative reports on the company in exchange for payments from a hedge fund seeking to profit from a drop in its stock price.
The SEC subpoenaed Gradient in the investigation late last year.
A second subpoena to the firm, dated March 10, sought documents related to its contacts with journalists.
Among other initiatives Cox has taken or led in recent months:
• The SEC moved in January to require companies to provide far greater detail about executives' pay and perks in an effort to bring more openness to an area that has provoked investor anger. Cox had made fuller disclosure of executive compensation a priority since taking the agency helm.
• Also in January, the SEC announced new guidelines for fining companies for fraudulent conduct, addressing an issue that split SEC commissioners along political lines during the tenure of Cox's predecessor, William Donaldson. The guidelines are meant to bring ''clarity, consistency and predictability'' to the agency's enforcement efforts, Cox said.
• Cox has pushed several technology initiatives meant to give investors more useful (and usable) and complete information about companies and mutual funds. One initiative involves developing the use of interactive data to make the information that companies are required to disclose in SEC filings easier to find and understand and to compare from company to company.
President Bush named Cox to head the SEC last spring after the surprise resignation of Donaldson, a Wall Street veteran whom Bush had installed to help restore confidence in a stock market shaken by the wave of corporate scandals in 2002.
Donaldson took an activist regulatory stance that irritated business interests and delighted investor advocates, and his tenure was marked by bitter division among the five SEC commissioners.
The business groups, particularly the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, had lobbied the White House to replace Donaldson with someone like Cox: An unabashed freeenterprise lawmaker, a member of the House GOP leadership, who also had worked as a securities and corporate lawyer. In the House, Cox wrote legislation in the mid-1990s that made it easier for companies to defend against some types of lawsuits by shareholders.
If business lobbyists are disappointed with Cox's tenure so far, they haven't publicly criticized him.
But the investor advocates — who had feared that Cox would relax enforcement by the SEC and reverse rules protecting investors put in after the scandals — are again surprised and fairly happy.
''Certainly, all his credentials going in were of the deregulatory sort,'' said Barbara Roper, director of investor protection for Consumer Federation of America.
The Chamber, however, is still battling the SEC in court over mutual fund governance; it recently criticized the agency's enforcement actions against companies as overly punitive.
Cox has used his political skills to build a consensus among the commissioners.
''The supposed problems of a regulatory agency pale in comparison'' with getting a bill enacted into law or running a congressional committee, he said in the interview.
Before he left the House for the SEC, Cox was chairman of the Homeland Security Committee.
''I give him very high marks,'' said James Cox, a professor at Duke University who specializes in securities law. He's been ''careful, cautious . . . a good politician of the process.''

The Mesa City Council finally adopted its $973.3 million budget Monday — the same day it got some news that could have changed its financial forecast if it had come sooner.
The U.S. Census agreed to revise its earlier population estimate for Mesa from 417,387 to 448,096, according to City Manager Christopher Brady.
This could translate into more state-shared revenue for the cashstrapped city, although a final decision on funding hasn't been made.
The extra 30,000 people could mean more bucks for Mesa. Population numbers are used to determine how much money communities receive in state income and sales tax revenue. Mesa doesn't have a primary property tax, so that stateshared revenue is all the more important.
But the timing of the announcement couldn't have been worse.
Under state law, once a budget is passed, the amount cannot be increased. So any new money that may come as a result of the bureau's new figures would have to go into reserves, assistant budget director Chuck Odom said.
The announcement, while welcomed, came too late to save programs facing cuts and people facing layoffs.
With little fanfare, the council adopted a budget that has stirred up so much emotion over the last few months, as well as a five-year capital improvement plan and utility rate increases.
Also, the City Council voted to raise water rates by 6.6 percent and increase wastewater, natural gas and solid waste rates by 5 percent.
The $973.3 million budget is roughly $100 million higher than the current fiscal year.
Some of the budget increases are because of pay raises for police officers and state-mandated pension increases. Sales tax revenue is expected to go up this next fiscal year, thanks in part to voters, and this will pave the way for roughly $25 million in road improvements.
The increases also are because of new financial reporting requirements, which force the city to "double-count" about $43 million in budget items.
Meanwhile, other departments will see some deep cuts. A total of 145 positions are being eliminated. There will be no holiday lighting in 2006. The park ranger program will be drastically reduced, and two museums will be forced to cut back hours. The new budget will go into effect on July 1.

FX Energy Reports On Main Dolomite Test In Tuchola-3K Well
SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- FX Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: FXEN) today reported that it has drilled and cored a 36 meter section of Main Dolomite in the Tuchola-3K well. The Main Dolomite is the first of two target zones in this well. Very good gas shows were observed throughout the entire 36 meter section, but the drill stem test (DST) of the Main Dolomite from 2,641 to 2,677 meters did not encounter any inflow of gas or fluid. Core samples confirm that the Main Dolomite is tight and the fractures are cemented with anhydrite. Drilling will continue on the Tuchola-3K well to test a projected Devonian oil target at a depth of 3,180-3,820 meters.
"The Main Dolomite is present as mapped and charged with gas as we had expected," said Jerzy Maciolek, Vice President of International Exploration. "The problem we have encountered in the Tuchola-3K well, as with other Main Dolomite fields in Poland, is that reservoir quality is capricious: portions of the reservoir are cemented while other portions are quite porous and permeable. Clearly the Main Dolomite is gas charged and a nearby area with better reservoir properties should yield favorable results."
"We will use the data from this wellbore to calibrate our existing seismic for the direct detection of porous dolomite," continued Mr. Maciolek. "If we can detect good reservoir quality nearby in this reef trend, we would like to test it as soon as possible. This could be done by a sidetrack from the Tuchola-3K wellbore itself, if the deeper Devonian oil target is not successful. Alternatively, we could schedule a new well to test the Main Dolomite nearby. We are encouraged about Main Dolomite gas potential in the Tuchola concession and plan to increase our exploration efforts in this target area."

FORT WORTH, Texas Ducks like water. NASCAR does not.
Due to persistent rain showers and cold temperatures which hampered track drying efforts, Sunday's Duck Commander 500 at Texas Motor Speedway has been postponed until noon Monday.
The race will be shown live on Fox.
Rain tapered off late Sunday but cold temperatures and persistent "weepers" - water seeping up from underneath the track - led to the postponement by NASCAR.
When the race begins on Monday, Tony Stewart will start on the pole. There have been six different winners in the first
This is the fifth time in seven NASCAR race weekends, rain has altered some part of the weekend schedule.

JUST REMODELED! This beautifully decorated home has just been remodeled both inside and out as of July 2012, see pics below...
This home is located in one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in the Atenas area. This home features a private deck and pool area, great views of the central valley and is surrounded by one of the nicest gardens to be found in town. This home is located in a gated community near the small town of Atenas which is only 20 minutes away from the Juan Santamaria airport in San Jose, 45 minutes to the nearest beaches and 20 minutes from downtown San Jose. This home sits at the top of a ridge overlooking the green hills and lush tropical landscape below. It is located inside a protected forestall reserve with luxurious virgin vegetation as well as lush gardens surrounding the property. Beautiful trees and flowering plants offer guests a powerful mixture of colors and privacy. The adjacent hills are dotted with luxurious vegetation, including many species of precious trees like the Guanacaste and Matapalo, flowering trees such as the brilliant orange Poró and many fruit trees including mangoes, limes, bananas, papayas and oranges. A wildlife corridor extends from the Rio Colorado, and white-faced monkeys, sloths, anteaters, and birds including toucans and trogons are regularly seen from the villas.
The site is mountainous with fantastic panoramic views: to the northeast, the Atenas Valley with Póas, Barva and Irazú volcanoes in the background, to the southwest the Rio Grande Valley and to the east, the Central Valley with thousands of lights coming alive at nightfall.
The house has been constructed with a Balinese tropical architecture style in mind. The home is divided into two separate structures featuring open floor-plans, peaked rooflines, deep covered decks and patios and visually-open wood and glass walls.
One of the two main structures has two large master bedrooms, one with a large hot-tub with jets and another with a large shower separated by a smaller third room with a bed and hide-away second bed, while the second main structure features a modern kitchen with all appliances, a living room with panoramic views of the pool, porch and valley area. Within this main structure there is also a separate den/study area and a breakfast bar and dining area.
The home has a large wrap-around porch and inviting pool. The porch area has rustic furniture and pool chairs for your leisure. This is a great area for use of the gas grill and to enjoy some meals outdoors as well as relaxing paths to the garden area or walks in the neighborhood. The lush garden area will add to your enjoyment. You can relax in our large pool with ambient temperature that is located between the two structures.
This neighborhood is an architecturally distinctive development nestled in an environment of pristine beauty allowing for meaningful interaction with nature and the local culture.
You will enjoy visiting the town of Atenas that is known for its friendly and helpful people. Visit the outdoor market that offers delicious local fruits, vegetables, and seafood or dine in one of the various cafes or bars to taste the local food specialties. Or just go and sit in the peaceful Central Park and visit with the locals or just watch the people go by. In addition, Atenas has been ranked by the National Geographic Magazine as having one of the best climates in the world!
We initially experienced living in other areas of Costa Rica and later found that Atenas had more peace and tranquility with a better climate. No air conditioning or heating needed here. Atenas is more strategically located to enjoy all the things people like to do. There are many exciting places to visit on relatively short trips to the beaches, volcanoes, tropical gardens, zoo, or just having fun exploring.
Begin each day with the sounds of different birds singing nearby like one of the many Toucans. Enjoy watching them feeding on the property. Relax around the pool or in one of our lounge chairs just relaxing or planning what to do. Enjoy seeing the wildlife coming to our wonderfully landscaped gardens at the back of our house. Go on some interesting hikes on trails near the property. Be amazed at all the interesting photos you can take to record your visit. Enjoy a cup of the locally grown coffee is always a plus.
This home is located in a gated community near the small town of Atenas which is only 20 minutes away from the Juan Santamaria airport in San Jose, 45 minutes to the nearest beaches and 20 minutes from downtown San Jose.

Circuit Scribe lets you doodle electric circuits on paper
The crowdfunding masses have spoken and soon the world will officially be home to Circuit Scribe, the pen that draws in circuits. Looking just like your average ballpoint pen, Circuit Scribe doesn't immediately scream "million dollar idea." But with over three weeks left in its Kickstarter campaign, this little doodling device is already half way there.
Initially, Jennifer Lewis, Brett Walker and Analisa Russo just wanted to create a basic tool that could help students get a grasp on what a circuit was and how electronics worked. They put together a quick-drying ink that could carry an electric current and worked up some very cool magnetic components that could snap right onto whatever conductive doodling students would come up with. They set a decently ambitious goal of $85,000 for their crowdfunding campaign and let their idea loose on the masses.
As of this article, well over 9,000 people have jumped on board — and not all of them can be science teachers. Circuit Scribe is one of those inventions that goes exceedingly well with other successful DIY electronics kits, plus it gives enthusiasts the chance to snap up new components at the same time. Folks who already snatched up a Makey Makey or Arduino kit would be silly not to purchase a cheap Circuit Scribe kit.
As the funds continue to climb for the Circuit Scribe team, we will likely see more from these brainy folks in the future. Resistor and insulator pens could be on the horizon, and the team has already pledged to create an educational portal for STEM students to get the most out of their Circuit Scribe pens. If you haven't yet added to the $486,000 raised so far, the basic kit will run you only $20 on Kickstarter.

I am in many car forums, and many of them will have a Chevy vs. Ford, or Camaro vs. Mustang section and they are highly popular.
Tis interesting, I haven't had a look at the Wonderbook section. Not sure why anyone would be in there unless they have kids? And I'm pretty sure kids don't have the same standards as adults.
Yep, a thread showing that it's selling pretty well and some people getting upset because they hoped it would flop.
According MCV, in the UK (generally viewed as the third largest) market, EA was the most successful publisher of 2012, ahead of Activision.
Nintendo and Microsoft placed 4th and 5th respectively.
Sony despite releasing over half a dozen retail titles last year, failed to chart in the top 10.

Are the ones I can think of for US releases. I have only played Starhawk and Twisted Metal on that list, both of which were garbage IMO. I am glad the PS3 is making up for it in 2013.
Journey on the PS3 has the best graphics ever, and it is only an indie game. Need I say more? :)
Also, I just bought 7 HD collections. I can't do that on Xbox yet. :cool:
It was an indie game so of course it will be short. What I said still stands tho. Journey is drop-dead gorgeous! :)
Well, I agree with THAT part..the game does look great.
I still want to know their secret to creating that beautiful sand. That studio had to have had some crazy genius on their team to create something so unreal like that on current generation consoles!
From Dust has excellent sand too. Journey is like 589mb, so must not be that big of an engine.

Fox Guest Distorts Obama's "Build" Comment Beyond Recognition: "What's He
Gonna" Tell Athletes? "You Didn't Earn That Gold Medal?"
Earth to Dee Dee: no need -- Mittens already took of that back in 2002:
Moron. Every single athlete had help. In fact, there is a great commercial airing again that thanks their moms. For driving to practice, for preparing meals and doing their laundry. For arranging schooling and making sure they got to sleep at night. And frankly, we all help, because the USOC gets federal money for their training centers. And listen to how many athletes, from Phelps down, thank their coaches and parents and friends for their help. I thought these people were supposed to be Christians? Not so much...they all want their own little island so they can totally support themselves. Go ahead...move somewhere far far away. We won't miss you at all.
How interesting and that in defense of his full statement, Obama used Romney telling Olympians they didn't get there alone -- others helped in many different ways. I guess Dee Dee doesn't watch news on the channel she's being seen on. Even they showed Romney with his profound and honest assessment. It's a shame that Dee Dee is deaf to what the politicians are saying. As for spreading the awards around, certainly if she was ever given one, I'm sure she couldn't wait to rush over and show her family -- all who supported her so she could receive that acknowledgement.

Nico Rosberg admits his pole position at Silverstone was a late gamble that paid off.
With rain falling steadily throughout the latter stages of Q3, Rosberg's Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton looked set to have wrapped up pole after he posted a 1:39.232 in dryer conditions earlier on.
Rosberg found himself P2 moments before the chequered flag came out and he decided to take a chance with a final lap to see if the track had dried up while Hamilton opted to head back to the pits.
It proved to be a masterstroke in the end as his final lap was a 1:35.766 and it earned him P1 ahead of Sebastian Vettel from Red Bull and McLaren's Jenson Button.
"Yeah it definitely was a quite crazy qualifying, changing all the time and that makes it very, very difficult," Rosberg said in the post-race press conference.
"It was wet everywhere else so I told the guys 'that's it'. They were sitting in the box and we just came to a general conclusion that we might as well go out and have a look at the track because if you don't have a look there's no chance. If you have a look there's a tiny chance. At least go out have a look, and then it seemed like we should give it a go.
"But even then I still didn't believe that the track would be better, but what made it was the last sector. Everywhere else the track was a little bit slower cause it was damp here and there.
"But I knew I had lost four seconds on the previous lap so even if I was slower than that lap I still had a chance of going a lot quicker on the last three corners if it was halfway as dry and that was the way it turned out."

In fact, over the six weeks I trailed her at numerous campaign question-and-answer sessions, I never once saw her glance at a note or trip over her words. Her verbal dexterity, combined with her staccato, almost patrician, 30s-era-movie-star delivery, often made me think of a heroine in a screwball comedy: Like the characters played by Katharine Hepburn, Barbara Stanwyck, and Rosalind Russell, Williamson is usually the smartest, wittiest, quickest-thinking person in the room. As one reporter put it, Youd be forgiven for thinking she was some West Wing character sprung to life.
Although most of her issues are typical progressive concerns, Williamson isnt running a typical campaign. For one thing, she has declared that she wont take donations from lobbyists, special interests, or super PACs (the latter allow corporations and unions to raise unlimited funds in support of a candidate). Its not the easiest way to finance a campaign, especially when your average donation hovers around $64. (Barack Obama reneged on this same promise in the 2012 election.) But Williamson repeatedly emphasizes that if everyone who follows her on social mediaher Facebook page has 443,879 likes and she has 217,000 Twitter followerscontributed a mere $5, shed have the $2.5 million she needs to wage a competitive campaign.

Perhaps more strikingly, she is running as an independent, though she is quick to note she is a lifelong Democrat and that shed caucus with that party were she to win. The two major political parties have a choke hold on the political system today, sucking the oxygen out of our public discourse, she said to the group of volunteers, explaining her decision not to cast her lot with the Democrats or the Republicans. Its as true a statement as any at a time when every issue, nearly every conversation, breaks down, frustratingly, along ideological lines. But if Obamas first term taught us anything, its that hopes for an across-the-aisle rapprochement are audacious indeed.
According to many in the Democratic establishment, the better word might be naive. She has some very unusual beliefs about the world, a cult following, but shes not a credible candidate, Eric Bauman, chairman of the Los Angeles County Democratic Party, told LA Weekly. Shes done a lot of work helping people heal, but thats not preparation to be in Congress. Insiders like Bauman argue that the 33rd District is heavily Democraticblue voters outnumber red 44 percent to 27 percent (29 percent are registered with smaller parties or claim no affiliation)so winning as an independent is close to impossible. To illustrate their point, they cite Bill Bloomfields 2012 race against Waxman: The Manhattan Beach businessman, a Republican turned independent, spent more than $7 million of his own money and still lost. It sounds nice to say, Im pure, Im outside the system, and I can change the system, but thats not how it works, says Democratic consultant Donna Bojarsky. Its too important a district to do on-the-job training.
Related: After a Mean Girl Campaign, Paris Elects First Female Mayor
Yet Bloomfield captured 46 percent of the vote to Waxmans 54 percenta narrow margin when you consider that the incumbent congressman never garnered less than 61 percent in prior contests. Overall, the race demonstrated that Californias new open-primary system (since 2010, the two candidates with the most votes advance regardless of party affiliation) could be a game changer, enabling an independent like Williamson not only to run, but to move on to the election. California opened up the process so that someone like Marianne, who isnt your standard politician, who doesnt just say the same stuff and toe the party line, can win, says strategist Joe Trippi, who ran Howard Deans presidential campaign in 2004 and has been hired by Williamson. Trippi also notes that Bloomfields campaign revealed just how disgruntled voters are with two-party politics, and that this sentiment has only increased in the past two years. In a 2013 Gallup poll, for instance, 42 percent of Americans identified as independentsthe highest number since Gallup began conducting such polls 25 years ago.

New poll shows tight race for governor
A new poll shows the race for governor is essentially a dead heat.
The Pan Atlantic SMS Omnbus Poll released on Wednesday shows Republican Gov. Paul LePage with the slight lead over Democratic Rep. Mike Michaud.
The poll has LePag, with 38.6 percent, Michaud with 37.3 percent and Independent Eliot Cutler with 20.3 percent.
Just under 4 percent either said none of the above or did not respond to the question.
Compared to the last poll in November, LePage's support has increased by 2.3 percent, Michaud's support remained unchanged and Cutler's support increased by 2 percent.
The margin of error is +/- 4.9 percent.

My Heroes
I have many heroes, most of whom remain nameless to me. They are the women in Pakistan tyring to find safety for their children in neck deep water and the women of Afghanistan struggling for basic human rights. They are the women who's children died because of war, disease and malnutrition. My heroes are mothers that walk 5km to get potable water for their family and my heroes often go without food so their children can eat. My heroes are denied access to education and healthcare and they carry the majority of the responsibility for children and family's wellbeing. They are the women who bravely work in the sex trade. My heroes are survivors of rape and torture, of human trafficking and sexual slavery. Survivors of incest, brutal beatings and mutilation. My heroes come in every shape, size and color; they speak many languages and live across the globe. My heroes are the women of the world: my sisters are strong and resilient; my heroes overcome insurmountable odds to survive and succeed.
I am truly grateful for the inspiration my heroes provide and it is my honour to be a member of this community of heroes.

Thanks for seeing who the true heroes are,

TCW's Rivelle: Double-Dip Recession Time
The Federal Reserve has been signaling that it's prepared to begin tapering its quantitative-easing programs, but what happens when QE ends is anyone's guess. Tad Rivelle, TCW's chief investment officer and managing director of the firm's fixed-income group, argues that while there are a few possible scenarios that might unfold here, the most likely one does not involve a happy ending. Instead, Rivelle, who oversees more than $80 billion in fixed-income assets, told ETF Report's Cinthia Murphy that we're more likely to be headed into a double-dip recession, albeit not severe, than into an economic boom in the near future.
Following is an excerpt from an interview conducted with Rivelle that will run in its entirety in the October issue of ETF Report. Rivelle will be a keynote speaker at IndexUniverse's Inside Fixed Income Conference Oct. 18 in San Francisco.
IU.com: What are some of the potential macroeconomic scenarios you see unfolding in the near future, and what should investors do in these possible scenarios?
Tad Rivelle: Everyone understands that the pricing in the capital markets is reflective of the financial repression, quantitative easing, zero rates and everything else that goes with that. The big issue of the day is, When quantitative easing ends, what's going to happen in the bond market, and in the capital markets, generally? In a sense, this is a two-part question because it largely depends on how you think quantitative easing is going to end.
For instance, according to the Fed's hopes and dreams, QE is going to end in a strong, robust economic prosperity, lots of job creation, etc. Under those types of conditions, investors should be limiting interest-rate exposure, and favoring the credit side of the fixed-income markets; which is to say, corporate bonds, bank loans, maybe some high-yield paper. Non-agency mortgages work pretty well in that scenario too.
There's another way that QE can end, and that's not the way the Fed intends it to, but in our estimation it's more probable. To put a number to that probability, let's say there's a 25 percent chance it ends the way I just described—in a good way—and there's a 50 percent chance it is going to end badly.
Ending badly essentially means that the side effects of the medication are causing more harm than are the ostensible benefits. Rather than seeing much in the way of labor market improvement, what we are actually seeing is a rather substantive run in pricing in asset markets, and to a certain degree we're also seeing significant changes with respect to the issuance of high-yield bonds—the lower-quality ranges are being issued, toggle structures are coming to market again. Basically, we're seeing conditions we haven't seen since 2006, before it [financial crisis] all began.

Real Title: Gun control: Cartridge ID law to take effect
Bob Egelko
Updated 8:39 pm, Friday, May 17, 2013
A hotly contested gun-control law that was passed in 2007 is finally ready to be implemented, Attorney General Kamala Harris said Friday: a requirement that every new semiautomatic handgun contain "micro-stamping" technology that would allow police to trace a weapon from cartridges found at a crime scene.
The law, signed by then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, made California the first state to require micro-stamping, which engraves the gun's serial number on each cartridge. But the legislation specified that it would take effect only when the technology was available and all private patents had expired.
......But at a Los Angeles news conference Friday, Harris announced that micro-stamping had cleared all technological and patenting hurdles and would be required on newly sold semiautomatics, effective immediately.
"The patents have been cleared, which means that this very important technology will help us as law enforcement in identifying and locating people who have illegally used firearms," Harris said.
