Norway's DNO International reported Wednesday that its Salsala-1 exploration well onshore Yemen has flow tested 5,900 barrels per day of 36-degree API crude oil.
The well encountered oil shows in the Shuqra formation after being drilled to a total depth of 13,600 feet. After flowing at the initial rate of 5,900 bopd it was choked back to 3,400 bopd due to limited surface storage capacity, DNO said.
The well is located on Block 32, which already contains two producing fields – Godah and Tasour – the gross output of which currently averages 2,500 barrels per day.
"Yemen continues to be an important focus area for DNO International and this discovery reflects our commitment to continue to build on our in-country knowledge, expertise and investments," DNO Executive Chairman Bijan Mossavar-Rahmani said, adding that the Salsala-1 well will be placed on an extended production test and that an appraisal well is scheduled in early 2014 as part of a fast-track development of this discovery.

As the calendar turned to the new year, I realized that there were some things about simple living I needed to recommit myself to, including living for the "small" moments and being dedicated to giving my children as uncomplicated of a childhood as I can (there will always be complications in life, of course, and bad things happen but I will strive to focus on the joys of childhood).
Some recent events and the results of the reader survey confirmed to me that I was on the right track in thinking smaller and simpler – in my offline life and here at the SK blog.
If you haven't been to the blog for a little while (I know many of you read the SK posts in a reader) then your visit today might reveal a few changes. Most of the changes I suspect won't make much of a difference except to me, but those of you who have been reading Simple Kids for a while might notice a few things are missing and there are a few things that are new. I'll be making some more changes here and there as I refine my vision for the online home I have here.
Change can be a very good thing.

Tales of Symphonia
Review by DarkKuja
"Best GameCube RPG? Yes. One of the best RPGs ever? Could well be!"
PAL 50Hz Review
Ahh...Christmas 2004 - possibly the best Christmas yet for European GameCube gamers - Metroid Prime 2, a sequel that topped the prequel for once, Paper Mario 2, a outrageous and funny RPG as well as Prince of Persia Warrior Within - a dark adventure. It was weird all this quality software coming out in Europe for Christmas - just two years before we were given the dreadful StarFox Adventures, while the rest of the world laughed in the face of Europe with Metroid Prime, safely in their stockings. Fast-forward two years and again the rest of the world had their new DS handhelds, but Tales of Symphonia came to soothe that. Again we got it later than the rest of the world, but hey, it was worth waiting for....
Tales of Symphonia (shortened to ToS) is considered a more or less sequel to the Japan only SNES RPG Tales of Phantasia - there are a few references all the way through to back this up. It was a sort of test by Namco to see if the GCN was still worth developing for. A test that failed and saw ToS released on the PS2 in Japan with a host of incentives. But Tales of Symphonia is still a brilliant game a game that so deserved to sell more
If I had to describe Tales of Symphonia in one sentence I would say: "a clichéd, beautiful, well made Japanese RPG"
Onto the main body of the review...
The main strength of the game comes through the brilliant characters. Each one of the main characters has a curious style about them, each one is distinct, and their cloths and appearance suit their personalities - take Lloyd and his red jacket-thing, it's brash, out going, yet conservative. Or Zelos and his cloths - his long red hair and pink shirt reflect his loud personality, his trousers and fancy shoes show his posh upbringing. The Cel Shading really suits the anime styling of the characters and generally suits the fairy tale like story as well. The characters were designed by a well known drawer - Kosuke Fujishima, he also did the art for Tales of Phantasia and Oh my Goddess!
Though its not all rays of sunshine here - each character has their own pre set animations for when they are talking - it will soon get dull seeing the same routine time and time again, and consequentially the character models seem to lack emotion or passion in an emotionally charged game. Also in many cut scenes, there is a peculiar and noticeable focusing problem on the characters that are out of the main centre of the action. Whether or not this is on purpose or not I do not know, but it does distract you from the dialogue and the action on screen
There are a few anime cut scene sprinkled through out ToS, all of which are stunning, shame there is only three
In battle, characters are animated beautifully, each person's weapon animation is individual - Zelos' distinctive sword slash and Regal's multitude of kicks spring to mind. The most work has obliviously gone in to the main character - Lloyd - all his base attacks look and feel different and a skilled player can combo some of his attacks into a funky ballet of slashes and thrusts. However all characters look amazing and graceful with a bit of practice - and it makes the game all the more enjoyable when you know you're defeating the enemies with style!
Though a special word has to go to the two main magic users - Raine and Genis. Raine and Genis are typical RPG "mages" and therefore heal and attack with a variety of magic - which is fantastically over the top. Every powerful spell from Genis is an explosion of shiny, pretty colour - especially one move, it covers the entire Battle-Field and ends in a flurry of a giant sword and electricity.
Even the enemies are well designed and animated beautifully - take the Egg-Bear for example, he stumbles and grabs and fights the way a giant bear might. Some of the optional bosses are weird and a spectacle to fight as well
Special word has to go to the Unison Attacks - these are special combinations of certain moves to create one Uber attack, again these are dazzling at worst
As you can tell, the battles are full of eye candy; however, this graphical splendour is brought down by the dull, flat and uninspired over world. Possibly the worst part of the game - it looks like a rejected part of a N64 game. Over words can be interesting - look at other RPGs for examples, obliviously the designers spent burnt their effort on other places in the game. Towns however are lovely. Each one has atmosphere cultivated by the music and the design of each one. Take Izold for example - a warm, soft sky, a small dock as well as a tiny little beach and the wavy, windy music build and WHAM! You are suckered in. Just magnificent
Towns are let down however by the reuse of NPCs...They soon get tepid and dull. Take the rough with the smooth, as they say...
So the graphics are a mixed bag, sadly
Well what can you say about the music? On the face of it, it is standard RPG blorks and beeps. But still it builds the atmosphere and is usually non-intrusive. There is nothing epic or suitably moving until the last boss and the credits however, which is generally disappointing. Sound effects are what you expect, again nothing special - swipes with a sword sound like they should.
Voices...uhh...this is such a debated subject, but generally, combined with the slightly wooded animation, the voices sound detached and tedious in the cut scenes. And then you find out the fact that the Voice Acting isn't that good. It's disappointing, considering that 2 or 3 of the Voice Actors also stared in Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes. Some characters are more annoying than others, but the voices still suit the character's personalities...In battle the voices work a treat, characters bark out the name of the attack they are using, and say when a attack isn't effective and such. It gets annoying, but still builds a sense of urgency in battle.
In conclusion, sound is more okay than bad or great
Oh. My. God. At this point in this review I feel like saying a bunch of cliched sayings such as "if you only get one game this year, make it be this" and "if you like RPGs get this!"
Tales of Symphonia's main grip is exerted over the played via its gameplay. It's involving, engaging, thoughtful but never overpowering. First of all the fighting. It's a simple system called "Motion Linear battle" or something like that. It's a pretty good description, because you fight with an enemy in a line using 5 selected moves, a standard combo and a Special move which combines a single move from each character fighting. It allows for a lot of depth and multiple combos. Its a lot fun more than a Turn Based System - you actually feel that you are making a difference in a fight, other than selecting a move from a list. In fact you will play through ToS again - just for the Battle System. If in other reviews you here complaints - don't listen - they are not good enough. Simple as.
The backbone of the fighting system is the T & S system. Using certain equip-able skills you can change what type of moves a character learns - T stands for Technical (lots of hits, low damage) and S stands for Strike (low hits, high damage). Again this allows for a lot of customisation and depth. You can just lose your self for a few hours just customising your fighters, trying out new moves and combos. Brilliant. Still with me? Because the equip-able skills that change what type of moves a character learn can be combined into even better skills. Once you have got your head around all that, you can start sculpturing your fighters. And once you have got them they way you like, the sense of achievement is amazing, It's typical RPG gameplay, but it's what keeps it interesting in my opinion.
Worried that it is alltoo complicated? Don't be, there is even a tutorial for you.
Apart from all this, ToS is your usual RPG fair, fighting, towns, speaking to NPCs and Dungeons. Dungeons are pretty boring - poorly paced with some truly dull and workman-like puzzles. These parts are dull, but you still keep fighting on, just for the story and the fighting.
Speaking of Sidequests though, ToS is amazing in this aspect, there are dozens of quests to take part in and enjoy, each rewards you differently, even if it's just a bit of dialogue it is still rewarding. Some Sidequests have you fighting evil demons, taking on a devil book, searching for a pirate. I don't want to say any more however - you need to discover them for your self!
So in conclusion, ToS has really good customisation for an RPG, pretty bad dungeons and puzzles though
Any RPG has to have a good story...ToS has an okay story...though you could ToS is the big fat mother of all RPG cliches. Optimistic young boy, innocent girl, strong but silent type - mysterious warrior, convict, sexist arrogant teenager. And there's betrayal. Lots of it. There's also discrimination and a bit of an obsessive sister-brother relationship - though not as bad as the one in Code Veronica! The ending is a nice conclusion, though. Overall it's not bad suppose, though it is twee, and fairy tale alike, if you will
Spread over 2 disks - it's a big game, if you rush it could take you under 40 hours...but if you take your time, do the Sidequests and such, it will take you to around 80 hours - I took me 100 hours my first play through. But seriously ToS will take around 3 to 4 play throughs to complete everything 100%, there is an incredibly long list of stuff to do. And once you finish the game you can start a "new game +" which allows you start a new game with a variety of new options. What could be better?
One last thing - this is without a doubt this is the best RPG on the GCN, buy it quickly since production will be winding down very soon, if not now. If you see it, get it without hesitation. If you can't find it, try to you can!

A former director of treasury at Anglo Irish Bank has told the trial of four former bankers that he believed he was carrying out instructions as part of the "green jersey agenda" that was in operation in the country during the financial crisis in 2008.
Matt Cullen was giving evidence at the trial of former Anglo executives, John Bowe and William McAteer and former IL&P executives, Denis Casey and Peter Fitzpatrick who have all pleaded not guilty to a conspiracy to defraud.
The four are accused of conspiring to mislead depositors, investors and lenders by making Anglo's deposits look more than €7bn larger than they actually were in September 2008.
The court has heard money was placed with Irish Life and Permanent by Anglo and then deposited back into Anglo by Irish Life Assurance so it would look like a corporate deposit.
It was then returned to IL&P.
Mr Cullen said he was aware of the "green jersey agenda" from what was being discussed in Anglo Chief Executive David Drumm's office from mid March 2008.
Mr Cullen agreed with lawyers for former IL&P chief executive Denis Casey that his time in the bank up to early 2008 was a very exciting and extraordinary time where Anglo was growing and receiving accolades and taking on the big boys.
But in early 2008 there was a problem. Mr Cullen said he became aware of the "green jersey agenda" from an email Mr Drumm sent on 16 March asking people to put some thought into what the Governor of the Central Bank had asked them to look at - how the Irish banks could help each other.
Mr Cullen said it was "'Ireland Inc' - you would go upstairs and hear Mr Drumm talking to the CEOs of the other Irish banks.
He said everyone was involved, everyone was trying to save the Irish banking system.
Mr Cullen has now finished his evidence.
Another former member of the treasury team at Anglo has said there was no commercial benefit to the bank from the transactions in September 2008 at the centre of the case.
Brian Lynch said the money was deposited by Anglo with Irish Life and Permanent. He said the money came back in to Anglo from Irish Life Assurance.
He said Irish Life Assurance was classified in accounting terms as a non bank financial institution.
This meant the money would be seen to be a customer deposit by shareholders, investors and rating agencies. He agreed there was no liquidity benefit and no commercial benefit to Anglo from the transactions.
Mr Lynch said there was general market panic at the time. Ireland was seen as a high risk country and there were significant withdrawals of cash from the banks until the government guarantee was brought in.
Various options to get funding for Anglo fell away until only the transactions with IL&P were left.
He said it was important for the bank to show strong customer deposits at its year end as this was seen as one of the signals of the strength of a bank.
Earlier, Emma Hillier of Anglo's Isle of Man subsidiary gave evidence about a transaction in which almost £1 million pounds sterling was transferred from the Isle of Man to IL&P on 25 September 2008.
She said the request to carry out this transaction came in a direct email from someone in Anglo Dublin with whom she had never dealt before.
She said she had never been contacted directly about such a transaction before.
She said she did not get the usual group email.

I didn't see a sleep forum here, so I figured I'd try on the Toddler board...
My daughter is 18 months old and about a month ago, her daytime nap just became shorter and shorter - from 2+ hours to barely over an hour. She's always been one to go to bed very early - usually between 6-6:30pm and had previously been sleeping 12 hours until 6-6:30am.
I am wondering if anyone has ever successfully shifted schedules for their toddler such that the naptime was longer and the night time sleep was shorter. We'd be happy to have her go to sleep an hour later if it would mean she could nap closer to 2 hours during the day.
Any suggestions?
Thanks! Yes, definitely I figure it will take a couple weeks. I'm wondering if I should do it slowly - like 15 minutes every week until I get to a point where her bedtime is 45-60 min later. And yes, definitely agree will wake her up the same time as usual to try to keep to schedule!

The slender Radius 225 'Plasma' is a versatile loudspeaker, which by virtue of its very shallow depth is ideal for use with slim video displays or Plasma TVs, as a centre channel or main speaker. The sheer quality of its design provides the wonderful accuracy of Monitor Audio's reference speakers, but its impressive size-defying bass performance can be further extended with the addition of a Radius active subwoofer. Use the 225s with the R360 or R720 to create a compact, perfectly matched yet sonically exhilarating audio/video speaker system. Supplied with full-length oval black or silver grilles, and in the comprehensive Radius range of finishes, the Radius 225 can be customised to complement its environment from wall-mounted positions, via the slim-profile bracket supplied, or from the desktop using the optional stand.
- Wall mounted system for use with video/Plasma TV displays.
- Bespoke 4" MMP®II drivers (custom designed for the 225).
- D'Appolitto driver array provides good dispersion and fantastic mid-band clarity and presence.
- New cast bass chassis made from high-tech glass loaded engineering polymer provides better damping properties than metal and increased overall strength.
- 1" Gold C-CAM® tweeter.
- Magnetically shielded drivers for safe use near sensitive microprocessor equipment or video displays.
- Versatile design: horizontal or vertical mounting with 'key hole' type wall fixings.
- Recessed terminal panel to allow mounting directly on the wall.
- Rigid MDF construction throughout.
- Smooth radius edges reduce diffraction effects and provide better imaging properties.
- Front-ported reflex design.
- Full length oval perforated grilles supplied in black and silver can be customised to suit individual décor and taste.
- Crossover uses high quality components: high grade metalised Polypropylene capacitors are used throughout for increased clarity. High-grade air core and laminated iron core inductors are used to give lowest possible distortion and low insertion losses.
- Single through-bolt driver fixing provides mechanical de-coupling, resulting in enhanced mid-band clarity and resolution. Through-bolts also act as rigid cross bracing to give a very solid non-resonant cabinet.
- Specially developed high-grade PCOFC internal cable used throughout for maximum signal transfer at all frequencies and low signal resistance.

Radius - R225 - Review
"While the fronts deliver impeccable stereo and tight, punchy dialogue, the rears manage to pick out the…whiz of every snowspeeder. But it's the subwoofer that really wows us. It accurately portrays the sudden self-destruction of the imperial droid on Hoth as Han and Chewbacca look on, and with music it serves the integrated finesse of the speakers very well."

New school calendar creates a stir in the Comox Valley
Some Comox Valley parents are objecting to a new school calendar that includes early dismissal for students on several Wednesdays so that teachers can collaborate on learning strategies.
These teacher meetings – which the board calls professional learning communities – are to be held on 15 Wednesdays during the 2013-14 year. Parents say that will reduce instructional time by 22 hours.
"We understand and agree that professional learning communities (PLCs) may offer value to the quality of education and remove the silos in which teachers often feel they are working in," says a letter from five parents published in the Comox Valley Record.
But it is unacceptable to take instructional time to do that, they say.
An FAQ on the district website, found here, says students will be dismissed early before the PLCs, which will last from 90-120 minutes.
Parent Marilyn Nettleton said the district has done a poor job of explaining the plan to parents and hasn't mentioned how it will make up the lost time. (Although school districts have new flexibility this year in setting their calendars, they are still required to deliver a certain number of hours of instruction — 853 in kindergarten, 878 for Grades 1-7 and 952 for Grades 8-12.)
A story in the Comox Valley Echo quotes superintendent Sherry Elwood as saying school hours will be extended but details are not available yet.
