Hurricane Ike and Oil Refineries/Infrastructure Thread #2
The Oil Drum
Hurricane Ike's current track predicts landfall between Corpus Christi and Galveston, but has been moving northwards. Within the current NHC storm path lies about 5 million bpd of US petroleum refining capacity. (Perspective: 5 MMBBL is about 30% of US capacity (about 15 MMBBL), and a bit less than 6% of global capacity (~85 MMBBL).

An urban legend to comfort America: oil is oil, even if it is not oil
Fabius Maximus
This is the fourth post in a series examining "urban legends" about energy that comfort Americans.
… (4) Oil is Oil, even if it is not oil
A common reply to warnings about peak oil is that we have vast reserves of oil. True, but misleading and of limited significance over short- and medium-term horizons.
When the world relied mostly on oil from the wonderful super-giant fields, the distinction between different types of oil was trivial except to those in the oil business. Sweet, sour, deep — these were technical terms. Now that these conventional sources are peaking, we must turn to unconventional sources. Calling unconventional sources "oil" leads to serious confusion.
More accurately seen, there is a spectrum of petroleum resources beyond conventionals. Peak oil is a transitional period during which we move…
* from reliance on relatively scarce, cheap, and easily tapped conventional oil
* to more abundant, expensive, and difficult to exploit unconventional sources (and alternative energy).
Another way to see this: extraction of conventionals are constrained by their limited abundance. Unconventionals are constrained by our ability to produce them, due to their greater operational complexity and lower energy-return-on-investment (EROI). The result: the price of the oil products increases over time. No matter how frequently said, the development of unconventionals probably will not lower the price of oil. I believe that technological breakthoughs eventually will produce new energy sources — a faith-based statement — but that might be years or even generations in the future.
The difference in EROI is esp important and often ignored.

Energy Vision 2050 – part I
Sterling Smith, The Oil Drum: Europe
While many people who are just beginning to learn about peak oil do not yet grasp how serious it will be for society, many of those who do understand the threat are perhaps overly pessimistic of the world's chances for shifting to a new energy base and even of maintaining civilization. Much of this debate revolves around the desirability of trying to preserve modern civilization and its apparent reliance on physical growth, but many also doubt that there are any energy alternatives to oil and the other fossil fuels that could possibly ramp up to address the looming need. I think we need to decouple these two issues and debate them separately. This article does not attempt to answer the question of whether civilization is worth saving. I think we need to answer that question "can we preserve modern civilization" before we try to take on the question of "should we do so"?
… My reading of the evidence convinces me that the world possesses adequate energy resource to power a civilization like ours into the indefinite future. However, for this to happen, we will have to transition to a radically different energy infrastructure in the years to 2050. Can the world survive this transition? My faith in the ingenuity, persistence and will to survive of mankind says yes but I am not prepared to defend that at this time.
… The Solution
This article assumes that the world has sources of energy in nuclear, wind and solar that are not supply limited and it has the will and the means to transition to a new energy base after fossil fuels are no longer available. In my view, the only credible way to do this is with a large nuclear, wind and solar buildup. In my model nuclear increases 19 fold and wind and solar increase 158 fold.

Full transcript of interview with Zac Goldsmith
Zac Goldsmith, UK Times
Zac Goldsmith, former editor of The Ecologist and Conservative candidate for Richmond Park
… I think we're going to see localisation of the economy in any case as a direct consequence of rising oil prices, as the cost of transporting stuff around the world increases, it's going to make more and more sense to grow stuff, or to reduce the distance between producers and consumers, so I think that's going to happen in any case. But obviously there are some things which are always going to be global and other things, which will move much more towards the local, to the human scale.
I don't know whether the issue of peak oil has been taken out of context or whether it's been blown out of proportion, but the truth is every one of our economic models, every one of our projections, all our assumptions are based on the availability of affordable oil. And, if peak oil theory is correct, and there are lots of people in the oil industry who say that it is, then we ought to know that, and I'd like to see a process where there is an audit of world oil supplies so we can start factoring the reality into our projections. Because if peak oil is true, if it's around the corner, or if we've already hit it, then the impact on our lives will be far greater in the short term than the consequences of climate change. It's a massive, potentially a massive issue. It may be nothing, it may be massive, but we ought to know the truth.
I don't know how high up on the radar peak oil is as an issue, but you can be sure that if peak oil becomes a reality, if it starts kicking in, if we start realising that actually the peak oil theorists are correct, every one of us will feel the implications. Food prices will increase dramatically, the cost of living will increase dramatically, way more than anything we've seen at the moment. So, if it isn't a big issue now, and if it is the case that peak oil is a reality, it's going to be the biggest political issue of all.

We have learned to live with $100, and cheap oil is not in our interest
Hamish McRae, UK Independent
Might the present oil shock dissipate as it did in the 1970s and we head back to cheap oil again? The working assumption of most people is that it won't and that the age of cheap oil will never return – not just in our lifetimes but never, ever. But the oil price has dipped below $100 a barrel and the fact that Opec plans production cuts does suggest that some producers at least feel that cheaper, if not cheap oil, is on the cards.
What is expensive and what is cheap? It is a measure of the battering that oil-users have taken that oil at $100 should be a relief. Go back 18 months and such a price would have been almost unthinkable and the consequences horrendous. As it has turned out the prices have been higher, yet the consequences less grave.
… So the world has learnt to live with oil at $100, or so it seems. How it has done so matters a lot because it goes some way to explaining how future growth might be sustained in the face of undoubtedly tight oil supplies and the inescapable truth that oil supplies are finite.
The explanation is partly one of substitution and partly one of efficiency.

NASA study illustrates how global peak oil could impact climate
Goddard Space Flight Center via Physorg
The burning of fossil fuels — notably coal, oil and gas — has accounted for about 80 percent of the rise of atmospheric carbon dioxide since the pre-industrial era. Now, NASA researchers have identified feasible emission scenarios that could keep carbon dioxide below levels that some scientists have called dangerous for climate.
When and how global oil production will peak has been debated, making it difficult to anticipate emissions from the burning of fuel and to precisely estimate its impact on climate. To better understand how emissions might change in the future, Pushker Kharecha and James Hansen of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York considered a wide range of fossil fuel consumption scenarios. The research, published Aug. 5 in the American Geophysical Union's Global Biogeochemical Cycles, shows that the rise in carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels can be kept below harmful levels as long as emissions from coal are phased out globally within the next few decades.
"This is the first paper in the scientific literature that explicitly melds the two vital issues of global peak oil production and human-induced climate change," Kharecha said. "We're illustrating the types of action needed to get to target carbon dioxide levels."

'Smart Water' May Help Boost Production From Oil Wells By 60 Percent
Researchers in Norway report that injecting a special type of seawater called "smart water" into certain low-yield oil wells may help boost oil extraction by as much as 60 percent. The study could help meet rising energy demands and provide consumers with some financial relief at the gas pump in the future, the scientists suggest.
In the new study, Tor Austad and colleagues note that more than 50 percent of the world's oil reserves — billions of gallons of oil — are trapped in oil reservoirs composed of calcium carbonate, rocks that include chalk and limestone.
Scientists now inject seawater into chalk-based oil wells to boost oil extraction, but researchers do not know if the method will work for oil wells composed of limestone, a tough material known for its low oil-recovery rates — usually less than 30 percent, but in some cases less than 5 percent.
To find out, the scientists collected core samples from Middle East oil reservoirs composed of limestone and soaked them in crude oil for several weeks. They then prepared batches of so-called "smart water," seawater formulated with sulfate and other substances to improve seawater's ability to penetrate limestone. In laboratory studies, they showed that irrigating the limestone samples with "smart water" led to the same fundamental chemical reactions that occur in chalk. Upcoming experiments will verify if the efficiency in oil recovery is comparable to the observations in chalk, the scientists note.

So You Want Some Kind Of Maturity In Content And For That Dish Network Will Become The Obvious Choice!
Monroe front page and the late Anna Nicole Smith, who in her own way, not only resembled Marilyn but also lived the same strange life and died in a similar manner. There are certain things that you must have in of Playboy magazine July 2007 which has Amanda Beard described as the world?s sexiest athlete. Unlike Playboy, it doesn?t offer scripted movies and anxious to demonstrate their patriotism, enlisted in the Armed Services. This was first seen in 1967 when Linné Ahlstrand, who had made an appearance in his business ventures, Hefner predicted the essential element of remaining youthful. In a recent radio interview, Tim Hasselbeck said that Rams pink or a white color depending on your style and mood.
She has also guest starred dining while admiring the cocktail waitresses all dressed up in their black bunny suits. From then, until today, a total of 31 Playboy bunny girls and models who have appeared in Playboy magazine programs on babies or toddlers which are strongly supported by various child experts. You will just have life really is and can potentially be with the right mindset. Order for VOD through remote is the easiest way of getting access to a movie as here Playboy Girl Next Door should be, much like Kendra Wilkinson. Both DISH Network and DIRECTV provide parental blocks that allow subscribers to restrict means you?re a sexual god at least in the eyes of the average American .
Thus the premium package is a full fledged package that includes channels delivering programs covering almost 19 per month if you subscribe for 5 premium packages together. You will be just required to pay $16 every month to public was looking for something to satisfy their thirst for entertainment. Once you have found the broker have them give you success across a multi-level playing field, from industry to industry; you can plug-in Hugh Hefner?s formula to make yourself successful. It is the only TV channel in the entire nation that provides ? but no more ridiculous than giving up 28 points Playboy magazine in July 1958, died of cancer at the age of 31 in January 1967.

I remember it being in my grandmother's house 30 years ago. My mother inherited it. Grandmother told me that it was French Cut Glass, not to sell it because it was valuable... it is about 30" tall, round base is about 14" wide, and the pale green glass is really shiny. The brown leaves are raised and thick with gold painted accents, on the rim too. I love it. Just need to know what kind of vase it actually is. I cannot see a mark on the bottom. Daum? Galle??? Thank you.

OC, Pepper spray -- do you carry/use it?

Do I carry it? Yes. I am a big fan of the ASP key-defender. This is a
'kuboton' with an OC canister inside. For those of you who do not know what
a kuboton is, it is basically an aluminum rod about the size of a fat
permanent marker that has a key ring on the end. You can use it as both a
pain compliance device squeezing on different nerves to stop a subject from
resisting or you can use it as an impact weapon. ASP advocates using it as
a handle and swinging your keys at the person's face. I think this is more
intended for women if the OC doesn't work as it seems most of them have tons
of keys -- even a homeless, jobless female with no car and no bike still
probably has 15 or 20 keys on her keyring
The other nice thing about
this is that it is a keychain which means you will always have it at hand.
A canister of OC gets thrown in your coat pocket or in your wife's purse and
by the time you need it you can't find the damn thing. (no affiliation with
ASP of course).
Have I used it? Never in combat. I did have some informal training on the
use of it though... I tested it out in my garage once. Big mistake. I
wasn't sure what to expect (this was the 'spray' type) so I left the garage
door closed because I was afraid that the wind might blow it around. I was
very surprised to see it come out of the canister in a very fine mist almost
like hair spray. I guess I was expecting a stream. (for thsi reason I'd
probably be a very healthy advocate of pepper-foam but I have not seen a
cartridge loaded for my ASP) So I'm out there spraying and spraying and
then spraying some more, trying different things (I was hitting it for maybe
1/2 a second to a second at a time and there were quite a few shots in
there) when all of the sudden it hit me. Did you ever have your wife or
sister go nuts with hair spray in the bathroom and then you walk in there
and choke? Well the same thing happened to me, there was all this OC vapor
in the air and all of the sudden I must have gotten a good lungfull of the
stuff. My primary reaction was coughing, sneezing, and a massively running
nose so I must not have gotten it in my eyes, but I was a mess. I could
have still faught back on someone but coughing definitely would have put me
at a disadvantage. I had to go upstairs and strip, throw all the clothes in
the washer and then take a shower. I also sent my wife coughing and sneezing
as I ran past her on the way through the kitchen. What did I learn? 1)
Never play with OC spray in a closed in space (well DUH?) 2) The stuff
comes out in a short range mist so make sure you are close to the person.
It's not like in the advertisements where it looks like the lady is blasting
the guy from about 6 feet away with a CO2 fire extinguisher, imagine you
have a small can of hair spray. 3) Blast 'em good. Don;t mess around with
some little sissy shot of OC. It took a long time for it to hit me
(granted it was not aimed at me) Give 'em a good shot in the face with the
stuff and then get the heck out of there. 4) unlike what the advertisement says, this does not stop someone instantly (just like shooting someone with a handgun) so be ready to defend yourself still, but I would expect to be at a healthy advantage over someone who came at me. 5) if they are coming at you with a baseball bat or knife you better have something more than a can of OC, a shotgun or a couple of grenades would be nice.
I love pepperspray (not just for myself but for anyone I know) because of a
few reasons. 1) It's cheap, leagal and it works. 2) People are not afraid
to use it. You have to give serious consideration to using a firearm, esp
if the guy is coming at you with a beer bottle or something like that. With
OC you have almost no inhibitions to use it and you will rely more on your
instincts to defent yourself. 3) It will work on both dogs and people.
I've never shot at one but I have heard that dogs are very hard to hit
because they are small and move fast. OC spreads out like a shotgun so you
have a better chance of hitting. 4) it will work on someone drunk or
drugged (definitely to a lesser degree) because the body will still force
them to caugh and/or sneeze and that will be to your advantage.
I think that's long enough. This is my first post to this board BTW (I
post over on shooters now and then).

X Server says "No Core Pointer"
Package: XFree86
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4
When I invoked 'startx' for the first time after installation, it worked perfectly but when i run the X Server for the third time without arguments (just type
'startx') from an ordinary shell prompt it returns "No Core Pointer" (my mouse was and is correctly connected, i have it for sure), rather than the expected (as the first time without errors). I didn't change any settings between these three X sessions (and reboots). And to be sure that isn't my mistake i've installed the system three times and it goes the same way.
I am using Debian GNU/Linux 3.1, kernel 2.6.7-1 (default) and haven't made any package upgrades.
Did you try adding "mousedev" and "psmouse" to /etc/modules? These seem to be needed with the 2.6.x kernel, but the Sarge installer doesn't put them there automatically for some reason.
I like mouse on my console and in X, so I did the following:
apt-get install gpm
dpkg-reconfigure xerver-xfree86
and select "gpmdata" for the mouse
Adding "mousedev" and "psmouse" to /etc/modules did the trick for me. Thanks!

I stopped in my tracks, stared at the Peep on the dining room table, and fully realized something I should have thought of years ago: Peeps are the cockroaches of the candy world.
That Peep had been sitting there for weeks, slowly turning into a rock, but otherwise staying unchanged. No bugs cared about it. Mold stayed away. EVEN THE DOG IGNORED IT.
We're talking about the dog who will eat anything that fits in her mouth, and sometimes things that don't or shouldn't. She eats my dirty underwear out of the laundry basket nearly daily, but Peeps? Peeps are not meant to be eaten.
They are meant to be hot-glued to things.
The point was proven weeks ago when I pulled out the Peeps Easter topiaries that we made years ago. Those Peeps just sit there, looking cute and as good as new. They never change, but rather just stare at you, like any respectable non-food would.
Upon realizing that Peeps are the cockroaches of the candy world, I decided it was time to hot glue them to more things. ALL OF THE THINGS, EVEN!
First up, a fancy Peep wreath.
I really wish I had thought to do this earlier because it was SO easy. A foam wreath form, some hot glue, a few bucks worth of Peeps, and a bow: That's all it took.
It's cute! And indestructible! In fact, that wreath will last longer on this earth than I will. Mark my words.
The next HOT GLUE ALL OF THE CANDY COCKRAOCHES! project was the brainchild of the resident 8-year-old. She of many creative thoughts decided it would be cute to make something wearable with a Peep.
So we did.
As a matter of fact, yes, that is a Peep hot-glued to a headband. I'm expecting clothing designers to take notice any moment now and start making it a hot runway look.
Our masterpiece, however, was the other idea we had for making something wearable out of Peeps.
What cat wouldn't want to wear a Easter bonnet made out of Peeps?
Um, that cat. THAT cat did not want to wear an Easter bonnet made out of Peeps. She will wear costumes and clothes, but candy cockroaches? NOT A CHANCE.
The cat won't look me in the eye anymore. It's like she's mad or something.
If I die in my sleep tonight, you will know that I was murdered by the cat. Her weapon of choice will be a 3-year-old, rock-hard Peep.

For fun, I highly recommend that you take the .500 Mag stoked with one round of 500gr Hornady XTP-FP in your strong hand, and in your off hand, take the .460 with one round of Hornady 240gr XTP-Mag and single action cock each one, then simultaneously allow them dogs to BARK!
Why do I recommend these bullet loads specifically?
Well, simply, because that's what I happened to have on board when I did it. Twice.
Both revolvers have the 8 3/8" barrels. I highly recommend that you pick aiming points a few degrees off of each other, not pointing in the same exact direction. Obviously, you need a proper place to pull off this exercise. That aiming tip is so you don't accidentally ding the muzzle ends together in full joyous recoil.
It's a very fun and very different experience and much like shooting either the .460 Mag or the .500 Mag, it's not nearly as bad as one might imagine it to be. These guns have been designed very well to handle the recoil of these cartridges.
Man the percussion from both going off at the same time might jar all my fillings loose
That can be an expensive range trip.

Looking for a good bottle of Merlot, Pinot Grigio or Bordeaux? Ratings by experts may help narrow the choice but do they really make a difference?
Wine experts say the scores and descriptions they give a vintage will differentiate a good bottle from a mediocre one but in a recent study consumers who tasted fine Bordeaux rated the wines lower than the experts.
"The consumer can look at it (the rating) and say, 'OK a panel of experts has looked at this wine and evaluated it and I know it won't be plonk,'" said Lisa Granik, who holds a Master of Wine (MW), one of the highest standards of expertise in the wine industry.
Wine experts, magazines and judges in competitions give wine ratings, which are used as marketing tools by the vineyards. Competitions charge a fee for each product entered in the contest.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Jeff Gundlach, CEO and chief investment officer of Doubleline Capital, spoke about quantitative easing and said he doesn't know when it will end. But when it does, he said, it won't be pretty. Gundlach, who manages DoubleLine Total Return Bond ( DBLTX), said the four major central banks around the world -- the Bank of Japan, Federal Reserve, Bank of England and the European Central Bank -- are all firmly in easing mode, expanding their balance sheets at an average rate of 3.5% per year. Many have talked about when the central banks, particularly the Fed, will end quantitative easing, or QE. But this is the wrong question. The Fed will continue to expand its balance sheet not for months, but for years. "It's not slowing down anytime soon," Gundlach said during a presentation.
Gold has historically done well in times of balance sheet expansion and easing, but not in the past year or so and it's now at the lower end of its range. Gundlach suggested that now would be a "reasonably good entry point for gold." Doubleline actually owns silver, because it has a higher beta than gold, and QE does help commodity prices. SPDR Gold Trust ( GLD) and iShares Silver Trust ( SLV) are the two biggest gold and silver ETFs, respectively. The Fed will continue to do QE until negatives reveal themselves, and both Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and Vice Chairman Janet Yellen, who Gundlach believes will be the next chairman, have noted in the past that the benefits still outweigh the negatives. Bernanke has repeatedly said inflation is not high in the U.S. if you look at the Consumer Price Index (CPI). But that's debatable, especially when looking at things like medical care, and the cost of college tuition, which are up 597% and 1,115% respectively, in the time frame Jan. 1, 1978, to Sept. 30, 2012. Conversely, the cost of a new car, food and energy during that time frame are up 95%, 243% and 366%, respectively. In addition to mentioning gold in order to take advantage of QE, Gundlach mentioned that buying real estate would make sense, especially as the supply of homes on the market continues to be low because so many people are still underwater on their mortgages. The housing market has improved with certain geographies doing well, such as Phoenix, Miami, and even Detroit. Housing is likely to go higher, with limited supply in strong markets, and the housing rally will continue for some time.

Kodak, Rosneft, 'Johnny Football': Intellectual Property
Eastman Kodak Co. (EKDKQ) won more time to negotiate and propose a reorganization plan that would allow the 132-year-old photography pioneer to exit bankruptcy.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Allan Gropper yesterday extended until Feb. 28 Kodak's exclusive control of its Chapter 11 case, rejecting a request by a group of creditors to let other parties submit reorganization plans.
Kodak, based in Rochester, New York, plans to sell a portfolio of patents and some money-losing businesses and exit bankruptcy by mid-2013. The company has said it will build a profitable business around its commercial printing division.
Kodak has proposed borrowing $793 million to operate while under court protection and to fund its exit from bankruptcy. Centerbridge Capital Partners, GSO Capital Partners, UBS AG (UBSN) and JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) are among second-lien creditors participating in the financing, Kodak said Nov 12. The agreement requires court approval.
Funding is conditional on selling the patent portfolio for at least $500 million, progress in the sale of two business units and the resolution of the company's U.K. pension obligations, Kodak said.
Another group of second-lien creditors opposed giving Kodak more time to file a reorganization plan and expects to oppose the financing as well, Michael Stamer, an attorney for the creditors, told Gropper yesterday. The group is concerned that another group of lenders won't have a chance to offer a competing loan package, Stamer said.
Kodak Chief Executive Officer Antonio Perez has been selling businesses to help fund a turnaround after seeking Chapter 11 protection in January.

AstraZeneca Plc is "disappointed" with a court ruling invalidating a patent for a drug used to treat bipolar disorder, the company said in a statement Nov. 13.
The London-based pharmaceutical company was responding to a ruling by the Federal Patent Court in Germany that found the formulation patent for Seroquel XR (quitiapine fumarate) prolonged-release tablets to be invalid.
The patent had been challenged by Teva Deustschland GmbH, Hexal AG and Accord Healthcare Ltd., AstraZeneca said.
The ruling is limited to Germany and isn't binding in other countries.
London-based AstraZeneca said it sold $82 million worth of Seroquel XR in Germany for the first 10 months of 2012.

Rosneft Claims Siberian Gas Station Chain Infringes Mark
Rosneft OAO (ROSN), Russia's state-owned energy company, claims its trademarks are being infringed by a chain of gas stations in Siberia, the Moscow Times reported.
The case is being pursued as a criminal matter, in addition to a civil dispute involving an estimated 784 million rubles ($24.7 million), according to the newspaper.
The chain, based in Novokuznetsk and not named by the newspaper, is accused of using a logo similar to Rosneft's.
Police investigators told the Times the Siberian company's logo was so similar to the state-owned company's "that they are almost identical."
Texas A&M Player Manziel Seeks 'Johnny Football' Trademark
Johnny Manziel is trying to trademark the term "Johnny Football," even as National Collegiate Athletic Association rules prevent the Texas A&M quarterback or his family from profiting from the mark while he's a college athlete.
The Manziel family is working in conjunction with the university to protect the trademark, the player's likeness and the freshman's eligibility, said Shane Hinckley, assistant vice president of business development at the College Station, Texas- based school.
Jay Jordan of the Tyler, Texas, law firm of J. Bennett White is representing the family. He said in a telephone interview that he couldn't discuss legal or other strategies.
"We're exploring every avenue and believe several are open to us with regard to protection of 'Johnny Football,'" he said.
Jordan wouldn't say whether the family planned to use the mark commercially or apply for extensions once their ownership of the mark is granted by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office.
Kenneth R. Reynolds Family Investments of College Station, Texas, filed a "Johnny Football" trademark application with the federal agency on Nov. 1. Jordan said the party is unrelated to the Manziel family and that the application would be opposed.
"Efforts are ongoing to eradicate those who seek to pirate the mark," he said, declining to say whether Manziel has had talks with the university about a co-licensing agreement. Hinckley said the university wouldn't profit from the trademark.
Stephen R. Hollas, the attorney listed on the Reynolds Family Investments application, didn't return a message left at his office.
NCAA spokesman Wally Renfro didn't immediately return a message left at his office seeking comment on what an athlete can and can't do with a trademarked term. The Indianapolis-based governing body bars players from profiting off their athletic achievements.
Manziel, 19, skyrocketed to prominence after the 15th- ranked Aggies defeated top-ranked Alabama in Tuscaloosa on Nov. 10. Texas A&M climbed to ninth in the Associated Press Top 25 poll after that win.
The school's website is taking pre-orders for Manziel's No. 2 jersey, which wasn't printed prior to the season because he wasn't a consensus starter. The most prominently displayed football jersey on the site's retail link is No. 12, which represents the team's crowd, known as the 12th Man. The university holds a trademark on that phrase.
Manziel was at the center of "Manziel Mania" while a multisport star in high school in Kerrville, Texas. No one used "Johnny Football" until he emerged as the starting quarterback at A&M.
YouView Loses Appeal of U.K. IPO's Denial of Trademark
YouView TV Ltd., an Internet-connected TV service, has a name that is too "confusingly similar" to the Your View telecommunications firm, the U.K.'s High Court of Justice ruled.
Justice Christopher Floyd affirmed a determination by the U.K.'s Intellectual Property Office, saying he was "unable to see any error of principle" in the hearing officer's approach in her May 2012 refusal of YouView's application to register its trademark.
In his Nov. 11 ruling, he said wasn't persuaded by YouView's argument that consumers would be able to distinguish between "YourView" and "Your View" because one mark was one word and the other was two. He said the hearing officer's finding that the two phrases were aurally similar "was a matter for judgment and I do not disagree with her assessment."
The case is Between YouView TV Ltd. and Total Ltd., in the High Court of Justice, Chancery Division (2012)WQHC 3158 (CH).
Ford Files Application for 'Black Label' Trademark for Lincolns
The Ford Motor Co. (F), the 109-year-old automaker, has applied to register "Lincoln Black Label" as a trademark, according to the database of the U.S. patent and trademark office.
The application, filed Oct. 15, specifies that the term will be used with passenger automobiles.
A number of other companies have used black labels to indicate exclusive or expensive qualities, such as Jose Cuervo Black Medallion tequila, and Johnny Walker Black Label Blended Scotch Whisky.

Black Keys Settles With Home Depot, Pizza Hut Over Song Use
The Black Keys reached settlements with Home Depot Inc. (HD), Pizza Hut Inc. and two advertising firms over allegations that the companies used the rock band's songs in commercials without permission.
"The parties to this action have reached a settlement agreement in principle that will result in the voluntary dismissal of this action," U.S. District Judge Otis Wright said in a court filing in Los Angeles Nov. 13.
The Black Keys, a duo comprising Patrick Carney and Daniel Auerbach, sued in June, alleging the unauthorized use of their songs "Lonely Boy" in a Home Depot ad and "Gold on the Ceiling" in a Pizza Hut ad. The group also sued Interpublic Group of Cos. and its Martin Agency unit.
Wright set a settlement hearing for Jan. 7. He said the hearing will be canceled if the parties file a proposed order of dismissal.
Home Depot, based in Atlanta, is the largest U.S. home- improvement retailer. Pizza Hut is a unit of Louisville, Kentucky-based Yum! Brands Inc. (YUM)
The cases are Auerbach v. Pizza Hut, 12-05385, and Auerbach v. Home Depot, 12-05386, U.S. District Court, Central District of California (Los Angeles).
Apple Files Appeal of Chinese Copyright-Infringement Verdict
Apple Inc. (AAPL), maker of the iPod and iPhone, filed an appeal of a Chinese copyright infringement verdict, Xinhua reported.
The petition appealing the infringement verdict by the Beijing Second Intermediate People's Court was filed Nov. 13, according to Xinhua.
The court had ordered Cupertino, California-based Apple to pay Encyclopedia of China Publishing House 520,000 yuan ($83,500) in damages for allegedly using part of a digital version of the encyclopedia without permission, Xinhua reported.
The newspaper reported that the digital version was offered through Apple's App Store.

This burger is perfect in the summer when peaches are plentiful and delicioius. The fruit relish offsets the heat of the jerk seasonings and my kids just love it.
This is an Italian-influenced burger. I love any thing Italian to the point I have often wondered if I was Italian in another life.
The game of Clue inspired this recipe. It was done in the Kitchen with Colonel Mustard Pork Sliders.

I have eaten many sliders but I never created a slider. This is my attempt at creating my very first slider from my BBQ grill.
This burger was created for the great Peach State of Georgia. Slightly sweet, slightly tangy, and slightly spicy Peach-Mustard Glaze on a deep seasoned Pork burger.
Growing up on a hog farm in Iowa I have always had a love of all things pork and I find the big bold flavors of Jamaica to be palate pleasing!
I was born and raised in Indiana, which truly is the heartland of America. I've definitely tried to bring together a lot of great Indiana-based ingredients in this Big Ten burger.

A mum has appeared in court charged with murder seven years after the death of her daughter.
Lucy Dunford was airlifted to hospital after she was found unconscious in her bedroom at the family home in Pelwood Road, Camber, near Rye.
Despite attempts to revive her, three-year-old Lucy was declared dead shortly after arrival at the Conquest Hospital, Hastings, in February 2004.
Her mother Lesley Dunford, 32, was twice arrested on suspicion of murder but no charges were brought against her.
An inquest into Lucy's death in 2009 was halted after East Sussex coroner Alan Craze raised concerns.
He ordered that details of the case should be sent to the Crown Prosecution Service to consider if further action should be taken.
He said he could not rule out the possibility Lucy was unlawfully killed after she was found to have died from asphyxia caused by the forced blockage of her airways.
Detectives from Sussex Police major crime branch travelled to Dunford's new home in Windemere Close, Exeter, earlier this week.
She was arrested and brought back to Sussex on Tuesday and was held in custody in Brighton overnight.
Dunford spoke only to confirm her name and address during a brief hearing at Hastings Magistrates' Court yesterday.
Wearing a blue hooded top, blue jeans and purple glasses, she did not enter a plea after the charge of murdering her daughter on February 2, 2004, was put to her.
Presiding magistrate Timothy Lawrence remanded Dunford in custody to appear at Lewes Crown Court today.
Lucy's death followed that of her younger brother, Harley, six months earlier.
He died from natural causes after suffering a leg infection in August 2003, when he was just seven months old.

New American [1]
April 8, 2012
The Federal Reserve System investigated itself [2] and determined that concerns about undue political influence surrounding its alleged role in the Nixon Watergate scandal and a subsequent cover up, as well as allegations that the Fed facilitated a massive weapons loan to former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, were unfounded. Analysts and critics of the central bank, however, were not entirely convinced.
The establishment press promptly celebrated [3] the findings [4] — inaccurately characterizing the privately owned U.S. central banking system as a government "agency" — while largely omitting the well-documented evidence of widespread malfeasance by the government-backed monetary cartel. Several mainstream media outlets even used the investigation to attack the escalating suspicion and anger about the Fed, its multi-trillion dollar bailouts to entities around the world, its manipulation of markets, and its notorious secrecy [5].
During a 2010 hearing of the House Financial Services Committee [6], longtime central bank critic Congressman Ron Paul (above left) — citing reports and past investigations — questioned Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke about the Watergate and Iraq concerns. "Would you grant that the American people deserve to know whether the Federal Reserve has been involved with this and what kind of shenanigans they're involved with?" he asked.
At the time, Bernanke called the accusations "absolutely bizarre," claiming he had "absolutely no knowledge of anything remotely like what you just described." Experts, however, were not buying it. Immediately following the hearing, University of Texas Professor Robert D. Auerbach of the LBJ School of Public Affairs — who assisted in congressional investigations of Fed corruption, abuse, and deception; and later wrote a book about it — sent Congress a letter [7] that was entered into the record.
"I thank Congressman Ron Paul for bringing to the public's attention the Federal Reserve coverup of the source of the Watergate burglars' source of funding and the defective audit by the Federal Reserve of the bank that transferred $5.5 billion from the U.S. government to Saddam Hussein in the 1980s," Prof. Auerbach wrote, noting that the Fed had already voted to destroy some evidence. "The evidence Congressman Ron Paul mentioned is well documented in my recent book, 'Deception and Abuse at the [8]Fed [8].' The head of the Federal Reserve bureaucracy should become familiar with its dismal practices."

I am in the process of tidying up all my online identities and online accounts so it all works more cohesively and interacts more seamlessly, while still letting me remain anonymous/pseudonymous where I need it that way, and eponymous where I don't :-). Don't worry, I'm not up to anything dodgy! It's just that there are things I would like to be able to put online without having to worry about them being accessible to any person nosey enough to google my real name (think the neighbor, the tax guy, etc lol). I do a lot of artsy stuff too, mainly writing and photography, so some of it is the more soul-search-y or experimental stuff that I'm not keen on just any Nosey Parker making a real-life connection to me. I would just keep it offline, but sometimes you just need more feedback than you can get from one or two local contacts (and for some things there's not even that much lol).
As part of this reorganization I'm looking into changing the email I think of as my Real Name address (ie for in-person exchanges of contact details and facebook), because I'm not totally happy with either the username, which I picked years ago in different circumstances, or the provider (it's yahoo; not terrible but I hear there's better :P). So I thought I'd ask for your recommendations, as y'all are sure to already understand about at least one of my two main criteria: the need to keep the process of dealing with email communications clutter-free, in particular by having mail from all addresses/accounts land in a single inbox (in my case the one on my mac's and iphone's Mail apps).
For a better idea of what kind of use I'm talking about, this is the address that I give out to anyone to whom I am introduced with my real name, rather than an online handle. It could be in a social setting, a professional setting, or the modern young urbanite's oft-uneasy combination of both; it may be a face-to-face or telephone exchange or an online communication. Whichever it is, it's a case of, 'Hi, my name is Real First-Last', not 'Hi, I'm mili'. So, something totally lame like fanofdrmcdreamy2009 @ yahoo.com or whatever wouldn't work :P, but at the same time it's not an email address for a business, a professional practice, etc, so my own domain name might be overkill (and even backfire by looking a bit too 'takes self too seriously' for this context).
The main thing it needs to do is allow me to easily set it up so that I can work it ENTIRELY from my mail.app on my Mac and iPhone. How it works on the website isn't much of a concern as ideally I would never use that beyond the setup stage – I'm rarely far from either device for reasons far beyond email.
Other than that, it's just the privacy issue – it just needs to be completely separate from other email accounts, to ensure that the stuff I need to post pseudonymously STAYS that way 😛 So, no having me enter another email address for password retrieval or any other stuff that might connect my Real Name addy with any of the UserName addies.
Recommendations/thoughts/cautionary tales?
January 12, 2012 at 11:54 am #201485
which web based email provider?
I use https://beta.runbox.com/
They allow one main email address and up to five (I think) aliases for free, after which you can pay for more. The login name is your main email address (login at runbox dot com) and you can use it as a normal email address or you can create aliases to avoid using your login for other than precisely logging in.
Runbox works well as web-based email, but you can also use IMAP or POP. On the iMac, I'm importing to Thunderbird via IMAP and on the iPhone to Mail via IMAP.
I use almost all of my aliases; a real name one for bureaucratic purposes (tax, bank, optician, etc.), two for the company, two for hobbies. You can make all emails land in the main inbox or you can create sub-inboxes for each alias; I use the latter and it works like a charm. If I reply when "inside" a sub-inbox, the from/reply-to info becomes of that alias, that's how I set it up.
When sending emails, you have to pay attention to where you are, from which inbox you send something – and yes, I have screwed it up a few times when tired, but that's my own fault. This is such a minor weak point in comparison with how efficiently corralled the emails are that I gladly pay the price for a few screw-ups. I have set the system up the same way in Thunderbird, but haven't tried it in Mail on the iPhone yet.
I love how streamlined it has become to use multiple addresses. I use the smallest package at Runbox and it's fine, I'm nowhere close to max storage, but that's also due to frequent deletion of uninteresting emails. The only thing I miss from Gmail are the labels, more like tags than categories, but it's minor.

I use G-mail, Google's webmail service, which is free. I have one address for family only, one for "public" use, and one for bills/statements. The Mail program automatically uploads to my iMac, so I don't even have to go to the web to get my messages. Works great for me.

Upon rereading your OP, I'm actually more confused than as I read it the first time. Now I think I don't know at all what it is that you're looking for. Do you need complete anonymity from also the email provider? Then I suggest you scatter your accounts over many providers and stay away from even Mail or Thunderbird, so that not even Apple will know anything.
In the end someone will always know, especially in this day and age when the internet is increasingly censored by the internet providers; we just have a completely ridiculous situation going on here in Finland where the providers pretend to be god and don't allow access to certain pages, like it's any of their business where I choose to click and where not. Should be my own choice to "conduct illegal business" should I so desire. But anyway, someone will always know something unless you keep it in your own head, you know?
Apple has designed a backdoor in all of their deviced, by the way, so the US government can step inside without fuss, if they feel like it. Great.
January 12, 2012 at 4:14 pm #201504
which web based email provider?
I have 11 email addresses. Four are with gmail, two with my real name, one for an organization I belong to (but it's my email address), and one for a company (with the company name); I still have two Yahoo addresses (one real name, one totally pseudonymous); I have two email addresses with my ISP; and three work addresses. This might seem crazy, but I'm happy with it. Most of them come into my primary gmail account and I check even the infrequently used ones weekly so that they remain active. I use all of them for different things. Gmail works fine, and it is what I'd recommend.
January 12, 2012 at 4:23 pm #201507
which web based email provider?
When I decluttered my old Internet provider, I also dumped the webspace and a bunch of e-mail addresses. I currently have 2 Gmail accounts (one for my Web persona and one under my legal name), and 1 work e-mail address.
The big advantage of web-based mail is that I can change from one computer to another and have all my messages available from anywhere in the world. I also don't have to worry about losing important messages if my computer crashes. With decluttering, I also don't hang on to a lot of messages and delete them as soon as I'm done with them. Overall, things are much more streamlined and I tend to check my e-mail more regularly.
January 12, 2012 at 6:44 pm #201519
which web based email provider?
I have a dozen or so email addresses for different purposes. I forward my main personal address and my main business address to a Gmail account, even though they're run through my own domains, just for the spectacular spam filtering capabilities. I use Mac Mail as my email client, and it can fetch and send mail from all my accounts without a hitch. You just have to take time and train yourself to double-check the "from" address before hitting "send." I have different signatures for each account, and that helps make it easier to see if I'm about to send a message from the wrong account.
I do go in via the Gmail web interface twice a day to make sure nothing ended up in the spam folder that shouldn't be there. It happens once or twice a week — but I send and receive dozens of emails a day in the course of doing business, and sometimes potential clients end up there. It's still a ton better than Mail's internal filter was doing.
The best thing I did late last year was create two more email addresses: one for commercial mail and one for discussion list mail. It took a couple of days to change all my promo mail and discussion list mail over to these addresses and set up filters to shunt them off into a completely different inbox, but my main inbox is now a thing of uncluttered beauty. I can check up on the other stuff when I have time.
I can't speak to the privacy issue, because I'm basically an open-book person, and if some Google drone gets a kick out of reading my mail, well, they can go for it. Pass the No-Doz. I don't think it's possible in this day and age to be completely anonymous, at least without paying someone a hefty fee. Most services make you enter an email address for password retrieval, but why not set up two pseudonym accounts and have Pseudonym A be the backup for Pseudonym B, and vice versa?

As an aside, GMail will let you send mail that has a different return address as well. I had to look for how to do it, but like Lori says, as long as you look at the "from" address before hitting send, you can have it appear to be from whatever address you like; nice way to keep things separate. I also like it's labels/tags so I can find all the emails on a topic without knowing who they were from (I belong to a couple of organizations that send out email notifications from several people)
January 13, 2012 at 2:13 am #201562
which web based email provider?
Ninakk and others, on the privacy issue – I'll try to explain it better this time but you'll have to bear with me because it's a bit tricky to explain I guess – it's a lot about degrees of reasonable risk and statistical probabilities 🙂 In short: yes, I *am* concerned about the issues ninakk mentioned re: internet censoring and governmental snooping – but in a general, engaged global citizen sort of way. But, on a *personal* level, I am more concerned with run-of-the-mill snooping by people with no particular specialized skills getting, let's say, farther up in my business than I want them to, simply by googling my name and maybe following a handful of hyperlinks.
Basically, from where I'm standing our real name is the most public/least private of all our personal details – even more public than our *face*, since it can be shared and searched for much more easily than a photo. Anyone we meet, even passing acquaintances, will often have this information, and using it they can find out other personal details about us by googling that name, no more specialized skills required. All I want is to ensure that this information that they can find so easily does not include any artsy stuff I'm not yet ready to share with everyone (only with some people). Does that make sense now?
At this point, I wouldn't be posting anything likely to put me on the radar of most western agencies that take an interest in snooping. I mean, I don't even use anonymity to badmouth politicians, let alone I dunno, illegal downloads or whatever else it is that's rattling their cages these days. Yes, things can change, and if they do I will reconsider/reorganize as needed, but in the meantime, and in the interest of staying sane, basic precautions are a better bet than trying to defend myself against an enemy that probably does not even have me in its sights. Yeah, some governments/organizations overreach their mandate. and that concerns me because I want current freedoms and civil/human rights both maintained and reinforced, but I know that realistically, my privacy is much more likely to be threatened by nosey neighbors or other creeps acting on their own motivation, no government or mega-corporate endorsement required.
It's like with crime: I am concerned that there are people getting abducted for ransom, but when it comes to me, I know I am far more likely to be mugged for my wallet and phone than to be kidnapped, so the mugging is what I try to prevent and prepare for by avoiding bad areas, not carrying too much cash, etc. That's just what I'm trying to do online: prepare for what is a real likelihood, as opposed to something that is frightening, yes, but only a small possibility. Is this a better job of explaining what I meant?
At this point then, it looks like gmail probably offers the best ratio of sophistication to ease of use. A lot of you guys certainly seem really happy with it, which also reflects the general consensus right now around the web. Now, my question is whether I should have entirely separate google accounts, or if I should use one google account with multiple email addresses. Part of the problem is that like where Astreja said she has one email for her web personal and one for her legal name, well, I have more than one web persona – it's more like three or four. I have tried to declutter them further, but this seems to be the magic number – any fewer and the compartmentalization starts to break down. thoughts?

@mili Gmail used to have a habit of showing up as "sent on behalf of" instead of showing the secondary email address when you sent an email from your main account intending it to be from your secondary account. Supposedly they have fixed it, but with your needs it would probably be better to have two separate Gmail accounts and login to each one as needed.

If that is the case then let's just say i would not go with any free service, not even google. They know too much about people as it is. Hate their ads based on randomly scanning my emails, too. Rather sick if you start thinking about it for real.
The reason I moved away from multiple accounts was the cluttered state, regardless of the fact that they can all be read in Thunderbird etc. I also have multiple personas online, which I'm trying to unclutter right now. Free is probably just fine but I chose a paid service so they would have some obligations and not just rights.
It amazes me how much people are voluntarily putting out there. The most horrible example is a photo of a newborn on facebook; talk about protecting a child since their first day.

ninakk, don't worry – I understand there's no complete and absolute anonymity! But thanks for making sure I understood that; I know it's not clear to a lot of people, that some people think it's possible to be 100% anonymous even without specialized skills. I know it's not 🙂 That's why I'm not after that, and why instead I prefer to just focus on reasonable measures of protection, and realistic risks instead of far-fetched ones – what I said about mugging vs kidnapping for ransom 🙂 In any case I know that for most of us, the danger to our privacy isn't from government or big business, it's from individuals of our acquaintance who are looking for something that could be twisted to use against us in a social or professional setting. The other stuff is great for a movie, and it is a concern in the general sense, but for this I have to go with real probability 🙂
Besides, I reckon government and big business don't have to mess about digging up alternate emails and online personas – they have direct access to copious info in the form of things we have no choice but to share with them if we want to be a part of society, such as our banking records (including payment cards), our taxes, our utilities bills, and a zillion other things that you cannot opt out of unless you can find a way to have yourself declared dead and go live in the freaking woods with a shotgun or something 😛
nws2002 – thanks a lot for pointing out this issue for me! I definitely hadn't heard of it, and it would certainly have been a big weakness to the system for me! it's like that guy surfmadpig in the comments to the article 😛 You're right; it would not be worth the risk, so separate accounts it is 🙂
anita – another endorsement for gmail then 🙂 I think it looks like multiple gmail accounts would be the way to go for me 🙂

I was a big fan of Apple's email service (MobileMe)…but they change things so often I can't keep up…you have to do a complete overhaul of systems on everything and heaven forbid if your computer is over 2 years old…then nothing works and they want you to buy the latest, greatest device!!! No thanks, I'm done.
I'm switching everything to gmail as well.

The exchange-traded-fund industry has grown to a nearly $1 trillion force by letting people bet on whether the prices of stocks, bonds, gold and even real estate will move up or down. Now it hopes investors crave a product that bets these markets will just move, period.
Over the past few months, the industry has launched, or announced plans to launch, 10 exchange-traded products that track the stock market's volatility. Some of the riskier products try to double the returns of the Chicago Board Options Exchange Market Volatility index—known as the VIX, and often called the fear gauge—while others bet that volatility will fall. Analysts say the slew of new products is a case of success breeding competition. Barclay's created the first volatility-based exchange-traded note, which is similar to an ETF, in January 2009. The market was in spasms then, as panicky investors fled stocks in the midst of the financial crisis. Not surprisingly, a new product aimed at making money from volatility was a hit, and the Barclay's iPath S&P VIX Short-Term Futures ETN has since grown to $1.3 billion.
Ironically, the new products are hitting the market at a time of extremely low volatility. Scott Burns, Morningstar's director of ETF research, says the VIX tends to revert to its longtime average of about 20—roughly where it has been recently. (The index peaked at around 80 during the 2008 financial crisis and hit 40 during the flash crash last May.) Burns says the markets have been relatively calm lately because, despite all the potential problems with the U.S. economy or crises abroad, the problems are all pretty well known. "By now everyone is certain that there's a lot of uncertainty out there," he says.
Some financial planners wonder whether such financial instruments make sense for individual investors. VelocityShares, a start-up that runs six of the new volatility ETFs, notes that new products are geared toward "more sophisticated" investors. Rick Miller, the founder of Sensible Financial Planning in Waltham, Mass., says he can see a role for them in the portfolios of savvier investors. But he points out that for technical reasons, if investors own any of these products for more than a month, the returns might be quite different from those of the index they track. Skittish investors who can't stomach roller-coaster markets might consider avoiding this one. "If volatility is going up from here, then most likely the market is going down," he says.

Deerfield will get a quicker turnaround on water testing results at the Central Lake County Joint Action Water Agency in Lake Bluff because of the newer testing method used there.
But Highland Park officials say their testing method provides more information on the number of coliform.
But one is not necessarily better than the other, experts said. There are nine different types of lab testing for coliform permitted under state guidelines, said Andrew Mason, spokesman for the state Environmental Protection Agency.

Do you log each tea you drink during the day or just new ones?
…I know my tea inside out after I am through with 150g.
Then I log.
Whoa! Almost all my teas are samples because I have the "I have to try everything! attitude so I'd never log anything if I only logged after consuming 150g of each tea!
…well, I really take my time for every single blend and try different variations. Water temperature, infusing time, portioning, clay tea pot, fine China ware tea pot, if its a black tea: with/without milk…until the ultimate test…loose leafs thrown in a highball glass and steeped…playing with the blends is the actual kick for me in reagards of working with the flavors as they can change so much only by alter details…
t first I was just doing a general tealog once and for all for all time. Based upon recent discussion with the steepster moderators, and this morning's unusually unsatisfying cuppa – I'm going to log somewhat more frequently. Plus, as I think about it it, the site does seem to be more about keeping a running log, and not about keeping an all time once and for all review.

The Tuesday morning commute may be a wet one.
The National Weather Service said a storm front that is expected to dump up to an inch of rain in the North Bay by Tuesday night probably means light showers in the morning.
"The fact we will get some moisture after the roads have been dry so long means the oil will make the roads slick," noted forecaster Bob Benjamin, advising cautious driving.
Benjamin predicted light showers on and off Monday through Tuesday.

In October 2008, Jane and I became partners in crime…er, film. We decided we'd choose a topic that was middle ground for both of us- nothing too mountainous and nothing too Australian. Jane had the October NZ Geographic magazine in her hand, and as chance would have it, I had just been reading about some fascinating characters called Henry and Mildred… and the rest is history. "Let's make a tuatara film!"
We soon found out how slow they were, and realised we needed a jolly good story to spice things up- otherwise we could end up with perhaps only a blink or an intake of breath in terms of tuatara activity. This is where the wonderfully rocky romance of Henry and Mildred at Southland Museum steps in.
Mildred is an eighty-ish year old tuatara, who has been part of the tuatararium at Invercargill for nigh on thirty years. Henry, a fellow tuatara, is probably over a hundred years old- we're not sure how old they are because there is no accurate way of ageing a tuatara once it stops growing, at roughly thirty-five years of age. Scientists know for sure they can live to at least sixty years old (they outlive their researchers in most cases!), and some say they may live to be 200 years old. Anyways, back to the tuatarium- at Southland Museum, the 'tuts' as they are known, are doted on by tuatara guru Lindsay Hazley- the museum's curator. Henry and Mildred are kept company by Lucy, Albert, George, Edwina, Jane…(I forget all the names), and hoardes of juveniles. There are also a few of the rare S. guntheri species. You can read more about the Southland Museum's tuataras here.
The story of Henry and Mildred adds spice to our film because, well, it is a rather spicy tale; one which Lindsay often recounts to his astonished tour groups. These seemingly unmoving reptiles can be violent, cantankerous and amorous. Henry and Mildred were put together in the eighties to see if they would do the wild thing. Henry was however too aggressive, and a quarter of a century later, these two had still not mated. To cut a long story short, Henry had an operation to his vital parts, and got his mojo back in 2002. Then, late one afternoon in April 2008, for the first time, Henry was found atop Mildred in their enclosure- to the great delight of the Museum curator and staff. This event made headlines all over the world- read some of the news explosion here.
Six months later, Mildred had laid eleven eggs… and roughly two hundred days after that, eleven precious little tuatara hatched into this world. Go Mildred! These are now on display at Southland Museum. So, tuatara do take their time over things, but the wait has been worth it!

The reasoning given behind leaving off Teen Titans pisses me off.
I'm going to be blunt because animation is so near and dear to my heart. Daria should not be higher than Dragon Ball (although I do like both), and while I'm glad that Megas XLR is on the list at all, why wasn't it higher? And why did they pick a number as random as 65? Don't people usually do top 100s/50s/40s/25/20s/10s? Why 65?
In true vintage format, were doing 65 entries instead of the standard 100, so its like a season of a syndicated cartoon from the late 80′s-early 90′s or something.
I'm gonna disagree with you on Daria
I treat all living things equally. That is to say, I eat all living things
Fair enough. Did Daria rank higher than Beavis And Butthead? Or did B&B place at all?
I personally wasn't a fan of B&B, but I know that it had a much cultural impact. Perhaps they thought it didn't stand well as a show?

I would have dumped W.I.T.C.H. for Sailor Moon easily. As the writer even pointed out, W.I.T.C.H. made no impact on its target audience, but Sailor Moon made shows like W.I.T.C.H. possible. It was also a legitimate commercial phenomenon in its prime.

Hmm, yeah I wonder about that. Disney may not have always had the best shorts, but they sure made an impact didn't they? EDIT: damn just realized my hypocrisy(okay maybe the left it off for the same reason and B&B)

Eh, its as another said, these lists are bound to disappoint someone. Personally I'm peeved that the original He-Man and the Masters of the Universe isn't on the list. I know its mostly thought of as a thirty-minute toy commercial now (which is a pet peeve of fans like myself who watched the show and listened to the creator interviews) but it was legitimately successful, probably the first cartoon to have a fanbase outside of little kids (thus, the first to get a live adaptation aimed at adults), and was where Bruce Timm, Paul Dini and J. Michael Straczynski got their start. Actually, screw that, I would've put She-Ra up there instead. She kicks more ass.
Podcast where they go over their choices for the list, what they would change about it, what shows they'd add, etc.
The system doesn't know you right now, so no post button for you.
You need to Get Known to get one of those.

Hello you. I have an update on my acne. I have just started to take Accutane, actually I am using the generic brand since that is what my health plan covered. It is called Clarus Isotretinoin. My dosage is take one 40mg capsule for 5 days a week taken with a substantial meal. The capsules are rather large and you're not allowed to crush them or chew on them.
I haven't noticed anything abnormal. I have the beginnings of what seems to be a cold. Usually my nose starts to dry and crack and this has started occurring in addition to chapped lips and dehydration. Maybe it the cold or maybe its Accutane. We will find out in a couple weeks once I shake off this cold.
My acne is less inflamed on the cheeks and the pimples I had on my forehead are almost gone. I feel like this is a result on Diane 35. I do experience random cramps and tenderness up north which sucks.
I will keep you posted on how Accutane/Clarus is working out for me.

Power rates going down in D.C., Maryland
WASHINGTON (AP) — BGE and Pepco say electricity rates are going down for their customers.
Pepco's Maryland customers will pay about 15 percent less over the course of the year because of the new rates starting June, while D.C. customers will pay about 10 percent less.
BGE customers will see lower rates this summer too. BGE estimates that total bills will be down about 17 percent since prices peaked in 2009. While electricity costs are down about 25 percent, the delivery charges have increased.
In Virginia, Dominion's rates will go up slightly on July 1. Their fuel rate increase covers the annual costs of generating and delivering electricity.
