Porn Actress No Fan of Kansas City Royals Anti-Porn Meeting
Porn actress Lisa Ann was unimpressed with the news that the Kansas City Royals recently hosted a team meeting with a group that warns of the dangers of pornography, a report says.
TMZ caught up with the porn star and asked her what she thought of the Royals holding a meeting to warn players against getting addicted to porn.
"Baseball players are pretty methodical, and if that's something they already did and now that element is removed, I'm sure we'll see it in their stats by the end of their season," Ann told TMZ.
Indeed, the porn actress said she does not think that team officials have any right to get involved in players' private lives saying, "I think they're overstepping the line of what [the players] do with their free time."
Ann even characterized porn as a safer alternative to one-night-stands: "[Porn is] better than the players going out to the bars at night and picking up girls."

We got some new books in at work, among them Peter Norvig's classic Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming (PAIP). It sounds strange, ordering a decade-old book about AI programming in Lisp for a company that works with media from Python and C, but the book has a staying power that outlasts the passage of time.
PAIP is not interesting from an AI perspective. Most all of methods and strategies are outdated at this point. Its strength is in teaching how to optimize programming in a high-level language. See the PAIP retrospective page for how -- skip past the Lisp melancholy at the top, just go directly to "What lessons are in PAIP?" at the bottom.
Lesson 26 on that page is a delightful Alan Perlis quote: "A programming language that doesn't change the way you think about programming is not worth knowing", which was originally published as part of Epigrams of Programming.
I spent the weekend in Paris.
(I'm now basking in the glow of that sentence. Excuse me.)
Went to see the city, and to visit a girl. The former was pretty interesting, the latter left a bit to be desired. Así va la cosa.
My patch made it into 2.6.14-rc5. Neat.
In the shipment that brought us PAIP also came Corbet et al's Linux Device Drivers, third edition. From a brief skim, I find it's a nice complement to Love's Linux Kernel Development -- LDD has more specifics on writing drivers, but LKD is good for an overview of the kernel as a whole.
Unexpected bbq last night. Up drinking and saying stupid things until 4 in the morning. The weather's still nice enough to sit out on the terrace in the evening -- in terms of temperature barcelona wins handily over the french cold wet capital.
With regards to Robert Love's recent informative post about GCC attributes, it bears noting that pure and const should be used only when the function does not write to memory. Cf. bug 64994.
Quite pleased to see that Billy Biggs is writing. Yay.
Brian Mastenbrook ruminates on Apple's shift to Intel (via planet lisp). Rather interesting. My initial reaction was that this was bad for computer science to target one architecture, but Brian sees freedom in Apple's JIT compiler (supplied by Transitive).
I occasionally find myself wondering what hardware deficiencies Alan Kay is ranting about -- Neither Intel nor Motorola nor any other chip company understands the first thing about why [the Burroughs B5000] architecture was a good idea, etc. Wha?
A new report on free and proprietary software in public computer labs in Africa is out from the good folks at bridges.org. Skip down to the "Key ground-level findings" for the buzzword-laden summary.
From my experience in Namibia, I think their findings are mostly accurate. Free software has historically worked well only in well-planned, well-supported installations. You can always find random people to administer an isolated installation of windows 98 boxes; linux expertise is much harder to come by. And it is unfortunately true that most computer labs are not sustainable. Do-gooders from $RICH_COUNTRY drop 20 computers in a room, say "go", and then wonder why it doesn't exist two years later.
On the other hand, if well done, free software can be a liberating force in the developing world. Namibia was lucky to have Schoolnet.na, a home-grown organization that focused as much on the human side of computing as the actual hardware.
Well, I'm babbling now. If you didn't catch it before, check out their rad comic book about their work, even if they did steal their name from another project :-)
How to pick up and carry your iMac G5.
I'm speechless.
Went to Madrid last weekend to see my sister Ellen and friend Erinn. Good folks, pleasant town. Hadn't been there for five years, but it's more the same than different.
And, El made me banana bread and gumbo. Taste-o-home in a foreign city.
yee ha.
By star-alignment I met up with some friends from Namibia there in Madrid. They had been travelling four months through west Africa, and had loads of crazy stories to tell. We came back to Barcelona Sunday night, and they flew back to the states this morning. We had a great time listening to all my music from there, our memories of being crunched in bush taxis growing somehow fonder in the distance.
The hardest part of the trip is stopping, though. Two and a half years is a lot of momentum.
Ran across this article on intentional types in dynamic languages the other day. Seems relevant to the D-BUS bindings discussion going on p.g.o, especially the part at the end about input and output. Old is new again.
Fixed a couple bugs in the crossposter, added some regexps to deal with the images.
In a past life I had the, um, experience of working with Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP), Los Alamos' nuclear particle interaction simulator. It's used to model the absorption, refraction, and reflection of particles in materials, and also has a component for those interactions to produce new particles. So you can predict the distribution and kind of scattered radiation resulting from bombarding a surface with electrons, for instance. Or you can model a nuclear reactor core. Or a nuclear bomb, a purpose for which it continues to be used.
It's a bit peculiar from a software engineering perspective:
MCNP is written in the style of Dr. Thomas N. K. Godfrey, the principal MCNP programmer from 1975-1989 ... All variables local to a routine are no more than two characters in length, and all COMMON variables are between three and six characters in length ... The principal characteristic of Tom Godfrey's style is its terseness. Everything is accomplished in as few lines of code as possible. Thus MCNP does more than some other codes that are more than ten times larger. It was Godfrey's philosophy that anyone can understand code at the highest level by making a flow chart and anyone can understand code at the lowest level (one FORTRAN line); it is the intermediate level that is most difficult. Consequently, by using a terse programming style, subroutines could fit within a few pages and be most easily understood. Tom Godfrey's style is clearly counter to modern computer science programming philosophies, but it has served MCNP well and is preserved to provide stylistic consistency throughout.
It's from the X division. As in, "Where do you work? The X division. So, what do you do? Sorry, can't tell you that. Please don't ask anything else."
Advogato people, think back to when you first learned how to hack free software. Getting all the auto* confused, figuring out how those macros worked (don't put a space before the paren), making dlopen-able libraries, navigating `info', etc. Bizarre. The extent of the strangeness is evident if we consider the "new project": Who, upon creating a new project, would write the auto* files from scratch? Deep voodoo is best done once and for all.
Above all, though, was CVS. Import, checkin, add, remove, weird options to get new directories into your copy, CVS_RSH, CVSROOT, CVSEDITOR, ssh-agent, etc. More than that was the idea of CVS, that you might record, document, and preserve your changes. Although the first-time CVS user has creating documents for quite some time, the idea that one could version them was completely new. It was a revolution in the way I worked.
Over time, I grew to know CVS like second nature. I still couldn't tag or branch without looking at the redbean book, but with everything else I was a champ. It's like commuting on a bicycle -- after a while you don't even notice it, you just think about where you're going.
I survived like that for five years. Last year, though, I got the itch to hack gstreamer from within guile. I found the old guile-gobject project, took it over as my own, and starting making releases. It was a bit strange because it was split over a CVS archive on gnome.org and one on savannah, but there was nothing I could do about that.
That's about when Andreas Rottmann came in. He took over the FFI generation sub-project and started to hack guile-gnome, adding a couple of wrappers. His changes were on a branch of the FFI package, and the needed changes in guile-gnome on another branch. Then the GNOME platform bindings process began, which demands the whole platform in one tarball. Andreas worked out a way to split guile-gnome into mutiple packages, while retaining the ability to release many from within the same tarball.
The only catch was, to do this I needed to use GNU arch for source management. I didn't want to change. I was happy and productive with CVS, and I didn't even have arch installed on my machine.
I feel like I've been living with Tom Lord for the last nine months. It's like he's over my shoulder, telling me what to name my files, how to build my software, and how to deal with revision control. With apologies to the man himself, whom I've never met, this post chronicles our life together.
(Ha! I tripped your "this is wierd" meter!)
Arch wants to know about everything that is contained in your "project tree". It divides files into five types, which is akin to a manifest type system where regexps are the type predicates. Some regexps are predefined, like files beginning with = or ,. Files that don't match one of the predefined types by default are treated as source.
However, if a file looks like source, but has not been added to the inventory (akin to cvs add), arch will barf. It's as if CVS would stop if you forgot to add a .o file to .cvsignore.
This isn't a huge problem for Tom, because he wants you to build in a separate directory. I won't do that for various reasons. The whole system makes me think of the puritan Protestant approach to economics -- "You've had it good for a long time, we need a contraction to cleanse out the inflation demons. Then we will be reborn and free from sin. This is going to hurt a bit, but we've had it coming." Your project tree should be picked clean as a bone, or else.
Fortunately, one can programmatically construct .arch-inventory files (like .cvsignore) in each directory. I have a script to do that here. In fact, if there is an arch operation that you are lacking, it's usually possible to implement it in sh -- either built on more primitive tla commands, but as a last-ditch effort you can read the archive or control files directly. tla-tools implements a number of them, fix-changelog-conflicts and commit-merge being two of the more useful ones.
I live in the bush of Africa. I carry every byte on my back, walking to my internet connection. I need an offline solution.
Arch provides this in two ways. First, each project tree contains a "pristine" copy of the upstream revision being hacked. That means you can diff and patch your tree without accessing the archive.
Secondly, arch has extensive mirroring capabilities. If you mirror a remote archive locally, you can do any read-only operation on your copy that you could on the remote copy. It is also possible to publish your private archive by mirroring it to a remote location. People can get revisions and make branches from my archive even as I sit here on the homestead.
Without the ability to branch between archives, all of this would be of little value. Arch's ability to branch and merge takes some getting used to, but it's pretty good. Each tree knows the set of patches that have been applied to it, which makes it easy to determine the patches needed from other branches. The star-merge operator automates this process.
I've been pretty happy with all of this. I can do experimental hacking in my branches, only merging them back upstream when the code is in a good state.
I hate being a loser, but I like Scheme too much. My illusions that the rest of the world will one day see the light are dim. I'm almost resigned to hacking in a marginal language, where the pool of available developers is small. The success of projects in such an environment is dependent on the dedication and interest of solitary programmers, because there really isn't anyone else to do it.
That's my rationalization, anyway. How else would one explain guile-gnome? Martin Baulig laid some firm groundwork, making lots of progress with GObject and ORBit wrappers, but the hacking stopped when he did in 2001.
It took two years for development to really start again. In this environment, we need to lower the barriers to development, so that people can take over and hack, even releasing their own versions, all with the full benefits of revision control right from the start. It allows a lone hacker to easily pick up a fallow project without knowing its old maintainer, who may have even dropped off the net.
I'm comfortable with arch now. I wouldn't recommend it to a happy CVS user, but I don't think I will ever go back.
As a final note, I should mention that I can't compare arch to subversion, because I've never used SVN. So don't take this as a polemic. Thanks.
A web log, like this one is, is somewhere between the advogato diary entry and the advogato article. I hope advogato folks don't mind my verbosity.

printing hell
Today I worked to make a printer that a local school bought work with linux, specifically SuSE 7.3 (yeah, we're a bit behind). It was ridiculous, and it's totally not the fault of the printer manufacturer.
The printer is a Samsung ML-1210, a 600 dpi laser printer that's specifically advertised to work with linux. Although you'll get a 404 if you try to find the drivers on the manufacturer's web site, Samsung did release it under the GPL, so it's also archived and patched elsewhere. But look at the page I was pointed to!
After a while, I realized that I had to recompile ghostscript. I couldn't believe it. I can't even get a source RPM for 7.3 these days. You have to manually patch makefiles, and with the GNU ghostscript that I downloaded, that's not straightforward process (the directions were wrong).
But let's step back a bit: why the fuck should I have to recompile something to install a printer? Truly boggles the mind, that one.
Anyway, I finally get it working, manually setting the
--prefix so it overwrites the previous installation. Then it turns out SuSE uses some arcane setup for their printing that mandates YaST usage. Let's get it straight: that thing sucks, no matter what Nat Friedman says. But even after fixing Ghostscript, it wouldn't show up in the list of Ghostscript printers!
To cut a long story short, I had to manually edit a strangely-formatted YaST printer database. Why they maintain a list of Ghostscript printers outside of Ghostscript itself, I don't know. But it works now. They're happy. And I'm happy too -- I wasn't expecting to be paid, but I couldn't really refuse at the end, this being on my own time and all.
I see no reason why I shouldn't be the number one wingo on the web. I'm going to start working on making this site relevant, starting with the software page. In the meantime I just need to regain lost ground. You can help by linking to the main page,

the return of advogato
Iyaloo! (An expression of delight in Oshiwambo.) Speaking of which, I just spent the whole week trying to finish a book on Oshiwambo. The next step is to see if I can get it published. That would be pretty nifty -- my first book.
a python snuck up on me
I wanted to kill offlineimap, which wasn't responding to Ctrl-C, so I went to another console and typed "killall python". Ay, there went my blog entry, never to be seen again! From now on, I'll always think of python as part of my desktop.
I had to do some profiling recently, and figured I'd blog about it. I wrote this a couple of weeks ago, and in the meantime people have started blogging about profiling. Funny how free software has a kind of milieu.
I started off investigating gprof. I had this idea in my head that profiling requires recompilation, so I checked the info and recompiled a whole stack of libraries with -g -pg -fprofile-arcs. Then I ran the program, ran gprof on the output and... bloody worthless. All it told me that main() takes 100% of the time.
Turns out gprof can't handle shared libraries. What is this, 1994?
I found a post about qprof, and it sounded like a good idea. Uses the LD_PRELOAD hack to set up some statistical profiling, no recompilation needed. Worked out pretty well.
By default, qprof only does flat profiles (counting the time spent in functions on top of the stack). However, if you configure it with libunwind, also from HP, it will do a version of call profiling. You have to fiddle with the build, manually copying things over and fiddling with the LD_PRELOAD scripts, but it does work.
qprof keeps an internal buffer of program counter (pc) locations. In the flat case it just records the pc in a slot and moves on. In the call case, it records the pc for each frame and moves on. Then at the end it counts up occurences for each pc, runs addr2line on it, and prints it out. However, you don't know where functions are called from. A little hack to store which pc records correspond to a single tick could make that possible, though -- I'll hack it up if I don't lose interest. That way you can get nice tracebacks like from valgrind.
A further annoyance is that functions called recursively are multiply counted. For instance, it reports that scm_ceval (from the guile evaluator) gets called 3246% of the time. Took me a little while to figure that out.
In summary, gprof blows, but has great documentation, except that they don't mention that the program blows. qprof is really useful and easy, but takes some fiddling, and really needs some more loving. Also libunwind on x86-32 is a little buggy, it seems. (Its main target is x86-64).
Anyone will use valgrind, because it's easy. No one profiles because traditionally they have to recompile. qprof (and others like it, oprofile for example) will hopefully change that situation.
(gnome gtk) loads 7 times faster than it used to. 2 seconds is still not good, but it's good enough that maybe I won't notice that gnome-blog loads up in 1.2. jamesh did a damn good job with that library.
family trees
To get that performance, I delayed the creation of scheme classes and methods until they are first used in the source, because programs will only ever use a small part of the gtk api. Incidentally gtk2-perl does the same thing. I think that says something about both languages: they can be elegant (although I think that's harder with perl ;) and they can get dirty. By dirty, I mean really low level. For instance, I can define an allocate-instance method on a class such that the instance actually doesn't below to that class. It's useful, but damn, it's ugly.
I really enjoy coding while tipsy, but I hate spilling beer on my keyboard. Something's gotta give. I think it's the position of my glass.

Yesterday afternoon, I went to a work meeting. A lot of people new to the company were in attendance, so we were asked to take turns introducing ourselves, telling how long we've been with the company, and answer the question: If you could meet someone famous, who would it be? I have to admit, I tend to dislike these types of questions, especially when you only have thirty seconds to think about your answer. Maybe I take it too seriously, but somehow I just feel that my answer will stick with me and say something about my character. I wished I had more time to think! As everyone started answering, celebrities such as Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Matthew McConaughey, and the occasional sports figure such as Tiger Woods quickly took their places among the most popular answers. Getting more and more bothered by the answers and how ridiculous people were, I started panicking because my turn was coming up so quickly. I don't really care about meeting celebrities or movie stars! I sat there trying to think with whom I could have an englightening or inspiring conversation. I turned to my colleague, Kendra and said, "Who should I say?" She replied, "Well, someone scholarly..." I smiled. Kendra knows me well.
When my turn came, I stood up, introduced myself, and named Elie Wiesel as the famous person, whom I would like to meet. As I explained that he is a WWII Holocaust survivor and accomplished author, I successfully silenced the group. So I continued and explained further that I'm not really interested in meeting any celebrities, so I tried to think of someone with whom I could have a really great conversation. One of my colleagues laughed and loudly proclaimed, "I chose Matthew McConaughey not because I want to talk to him, but because I want to see him with his shirt off!" Please! This is just ridiculous to me. Let's be real here.
A friend once told me that if she had to describe me in one word, the word would be real. It's true. I don't like to live in fantasy-land. Disneyland was fun, but only because it was fifteen minutes away from my grandparents' house and there were some fun rides. I never once wanted to be a Disney princess for Halloween. And Halloween, for that matter... I still have to force myself to dress up if I go to a Halloween party. Why do we all want to spend an evening surrounded by ghost, goblins, and witches? :) Saturday morning cartoons weren't really even my thing. I watched a few, but really they just didn't interest me a whole lot. Apparently, I didn't even really like Sesame Street all that much. I mean what kid doesn't like Sesame Street?! My mom has frequently marveled at how she would turn on the television in the morning for me to watch "every kid's favorite TV show" while she tried to get things done around the house. But instead of watching the whole episode, I would generally get up and turn it off after about fifteen minutes. She claims that I rarely watched an entire episode. I vaguely remember this. I do remember thinking that Cookie Monster was kind of stupid. I liked Count Dracula, but that's only because he seemed smart and he could count.
So after I announced to the crowd that I'm different, I sat back down in my seat. Satisfied. I might have had a different type of answer to that question than most everyone in the room, but I'm happy with that. I'd like to meet Elie Wiesel over Matthew McConaughey any day. I mean really. Let's be real here. :) What are you going to do if you meet Matthew McConaughey? Just stare at him? We can do that online or in a movie any time. Nothing can take the place of a good conversation!

Super PAC to Protect 'True Conservatives'Leave a Comment
The latest super PAC — Restore Our Republic — says its mission is to back "true conservatives" in House races, setting up a possible counterweight to the influence of Karl Rove's American Crossroads.
Former Republican Rep. Jeff Landry of Louisiana recently launched the super PAC and left little doubt that the new group will be taking on the former Bush aide, whose own influential super PAC says it will oppose Republican candidates in primaries that they deem too extreme.
The purpose of his super PAC, Landry told me, is to "preserve and protect our true conservatives in the House of Representatives and, where possible, to expand our ranks."
Editor's Note: Dangerous Dealings Between Obama, Bernanke, Special Interests
Independent expenditure committees, the official name for super PACs, can accept any amount of personal or corporate money to spend independently on a candidate's behalf.
In spelling out the vision of Restore Our Republic PAC, Landry could become a major player in the 2014 political battles between the tea party and establishment wings of the Republican Party. The GOP primaries in many races will surely feature the super PACs of Landry and Rove as top-flight pugilists.
"This super PAC has been a dream of mine for some time," said Landry, who lost his bid for a second term last fall after his former district was merged into the same turf as fellow Republican Rep. Charles Boustany.
Both lawmakers sported similar voting records, although Landry voted against lifting the debt ceiling and Boustany voted to raise it. Landry was also a favorite of the local tea party groups, as well as national conservative groups such as FreedomWorks.
While the American Conservative Union gave them fairly equal ratings — Boustany, a 91 out of 100 rating, and Landry, a 96 — other conservative groups showed a greater difference between the two Republicans on their scorecards. Landry's lifetime score with Club for Growth is 91 and Boustany's is 69, and Landry scored 81 with the Heritage Action Fund compared to Boustany's rating of 63.
As to precisely what kind of conservatives Restore Our Republic plans to support, the Louisianan replied that "my idea of a conservative is someone who embraces the U.S. Constitution and its functions fully."
"That means someone who can go to Washington, D.C., without becoming co-opted and voting to raise the debt ceiling, or expand the budget, or the role of the federal government outside the Constitution. I realize that can well happen, as you saw with Republicans in Congress while [George W.] Bush was president," said Landry.
The past two elections cycles have seen plenty of examples of bitter battles in Republican primaries.
In 2010, current GOP superstars Sens. Marco Rubio of Florida and Rand Paul of Kentucky were initially opposed by party leaders in favor of more establishment types.
Editor's Note: Dangerous Dealings Between Obama, Bernanke, Special Interests
In a highly controversial move last year, a PAC backed by House Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia and House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy of California helped freshman Rep. Adam Kinzinger win in an Illinois district over fellow GOP Rep. Don Manzullo.
Landry said he wants to support "top-of-the-line conservatives" and named as examples former Republican Reps. Joe Walsh of Illinois and Ann Marie Buerkle of New York.
Both won their first-ever races when they came to Congress in 2010 with fervent tea party support. Both defied the House Republican hierarchy on the debt-ceiling vote, and both were defeated in 2012.
"With Restore our Republic, perhaps courageous congressmen like those two would have survived," said Landry.

Bowls to date: 6-6
Season: 219-83
Papajohns.com Bowl at Birmingham, December 29: N.C. State vs. Rutgers. I think I'll be doing other things Monday afternoon. Besides, I prefer Pizza Hut or Domino's to Papa John's. When we last saw Rutgers, they were hanging 63 on Louisville. Pick: Rutgers
Valero Alamo Bowl at San Antonio, December 29: Missouri vs. Northwestern. Tigers have to be disappointed with this season. They managed to win the Big 12 North, but that's about like winning District 1-5A in Texas high school football. Missouri expected a lot more from this season. Northwestern rang up a lot of points in the Big Ten this year. Expect a lot of scoring in this one. Pick: Northwestern
Roady's Humanitarian Bowl at Boise, Idaho, December 30: Maryland vs. Nevada. Somebody has to go to this bowl, played on Boise State's blue turf. Pick: Maryland
Texas Bowl at Houston, December 30: Rice vs. Western Michigan. Another bowl slot that the Big 12 could not fill due to lack of teams. Neither of these teams have a sexy name, but both are actually pretty good. Plenty of good seats available. Pick: Rice
Pacific Life Holiday Bowl at San Diego, December 30: Oklahoma State vs. Oregon. This bowl is known for high-scoring shootouts, and this promises to live up to that reputation. OSU has three losses, all to teams ranked in the top 8 in the nation. Oregon has already beaten one orange-clad OSU: their archrival Oregon State. Pick: OSU
Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl at Fort Worth, December 31: Houston vs. Air Force. Rematch of a game played earlier this season, won by Air Force and played in Dallas due to Hurricane Ike. Cougars hope to have a less stressful trip to the Town of the Cow. It's hard to beat a team twice. Pick: Houston
Brut Sun Bowl at El Paso, December 31: Pittsburgh vs. Oregon State. I wonder if my wife would like it if I bought some Brut? Oregon State had a great run in the Pac-10, including an upset win over USC. Pitt is coming around. Pick: Oregon State
Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl at Nashville, December 31: Boston College vs. Vanderbilt. Vandy is in its first bowl game since the Reagan administration, and only has to travel across town to get to it. Boston College has made a living in minor bowl games, winning eight consecutive bowls while never making it to the BCS. Vandy better enjoy the trip to the Opryland hotel, because the game won't be much fun for them. Pick: BC
Insight Bowl at Tempe, Arizona, December 31: Kansas vs. Minnesota. The Glen Mason Bowl. Mason formerly coached at both schools. This year, KU survived numerous injuries and a murderous Big 12 schedule to qualify for a bowl game. Minnesota won 7 of their first 8 games before collapsing down the stretch. Pick: KU
Chick-Fil-A Bowl at Atlanta, December 31: Georgia Tech vs. LSU: I like chicken. I like Chick-Fil-A. Tigers went 7-5 one year after winning a national championship. Yellow Jackets won 9 games in their first season under Paul Johnson, including a win over archrival Georgia. One team is headed up, the other is headed down. Pick: Ramblin' Wreck

Contingent resources are not to be confused with oil and gas reserves. They are quantities of petroleum that are estimated to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations using established technology or technology under development, but are not commercially recoverable due to certain contingencies, including economic, legal, environmental, political or other factors. It is also appropriate to classify estimated discovered recoverable quantities of oil or gas associated with projects in early evaluation stages as contingent resources. A best estimate is one where there is an equal likelihood that the actual remaining quantities of contingent resources will be greater or less that the best estimate.
In a crude oil waterflood play, water is injected into the producing reserve formation to supplement the original reservoir pressure and provide a drive mechanism to move additional oil to the producing well. Pressure maintenance and the production of oil from water injection can result in a production profile with more predictable and stable declines and higher recovery of reserve assets.
An oil recovery method that reduces residual oil saturated within the reservoir and improves the efficiency of a waterflood. Examples include polymer or CO2 floods.
An oil recovery method that optimizes the performance of a waterflood through sweep, pattern or voidage improvements. Examples include converting vertical producing wells to water injection wells or horizontal multi-stage frac drilling in traditional waterflood reservoirs.
Liquids obtained during natural gas production, including ethane, propane, butanes and condensate.
Reserve Life Index is calculated by dividing year end reserves by expected annual production.
Natural gas that is trapped within fine grained sedimentary rock known as shale. Shale gas formations are very fine-grained rocks which can contain large volumes of natural gas difficult to produce using conventional techniques. Production of natural gas from these formations typically involves complex wells, often horizontals, and large scale hydraulic fracturing which creates pathways in the rock allowing the natural gas to flow to surface.
Tight oil reservoirs have extremely low permeability where multi-stage fractured horizontal wells are needed to economically develop the property. The Bakken play in Canada and the U.S. is a good example of a tight oil reservoir that is now economic to drill due to advancements in drilling and fracing technology.

How do I Make My Wife Like Play?
talk2bella 02:25:00 No comments :My wife is like a log of wood on bed.
I am seriously thinking of getting it somewhere else, I can't bear the hunger anymore.
Bella, I have read most of you advice concerning couples, maybe you might help me out of this dilemma I am in. I married my wife a virgin, I wasn't a virgin myself I had tons of experiences, I was hoping I would impact my knowledge to my virgin wife to be but I am frustrated now.
On our wedding night it was war to get her to take off her undies, I kept begging for us to be intimate, she screamed and ran out of the hotel room, it was embarrassing for me, after that episode, she won't let me touch her for weeks, I had to get her drunk one time before she allowed me touch her.
These days, she lets me touch her but doesn't reciprocate, she lies there like a witch staring at me till I am done, I have tried all my techniques, I have tried making her watch adult movies, I have even suggested a threesome but she wouldn't budge, I masturbate like a fish these days, I am honestly tired.
I married a virgin because I wanted it tight, I wanted a something that will last me forever without slacking like most Nigerian girls, someone I wouldn't get tired of, someone I wouldn't cheat on, but I can't cope, I need to let this daddy loose, I can't keep torturing myself.
What's the hype about being a virgin I have often wondered? You see, virginity is overrated, it's a choice most people take because of reasons best known to them which I respect.
You have tons of experience and got married to someone who doesn't, how did you envision this would work? It was doomed to fail from the beginning, all you need to do is talk to your wife, let her know your frustration and pent up sexual urge, cheating will definitely solve nothing, it will only drive you further away from your wife.
Find out what she really likes, your tons of knowledge isn't working; it's obvious your forcing your experience on her and not taking it slow, remember she's got no experience.
Patience is the key here, believe me when she becomes comfortable, you will be the one complaining she likes it too much.

Peyton Manning and his 1-0 Indianapolis Colts come into Miami tonight set to kick off at 8:30 for a Prime Time battle on ESPN's Monday Night Football to face a 0-1 Miami Dolphins team. The Dolphins are coming off disappointing 19-7 loss in week 1 to the now 2-0 Atlanta Falcons
Over/Under Betting Line:
Over 41.5 (-105)
Under 41.5 (-115)
These lines were taken from the popular www.Bodog.com sportsbook <- America's best online sports betting site.
When the Dolphins put the duo of Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams together last week they only combined for 17 carries, not very good at all seeing how Brown's average carries per game last year was 17. With that being said the Colts tend to have a solid run D with Bob Sanders in the line up, but he is ruled out for tonight's match up. Sander's missed last weeks game and the Colts are now ranked 23rd against the run now.
Peyton Manning is missing his head coach, offensive coordinator, Marvin Harrison, Anthony Gonzalez and left tackle Tarik Glenn. The Colt's offense is not going to be as explosive with some of those key pieces missing. Joseph Addai is not looking like the player he was pre-surgery in his rookie year. The Colts running game of Addai and Donald Brown combined for only 73 yards.
What I am getting at here folks is this is going to be a low scoring game with a lot of short drives and three and outs. Special Teams will play a big factor as there will be lots of field goals and punts.
Best place to bet on the NFL is Bodog – straight up.

It was 86 degrees at 9 am and the humidity is very high. There's no breeze to speak of so my body is reacting to it like it's 100. Thinking about it, here's a partial list of major tasks that need to be handled: 1. The hood needs to be block sanded and re-shot with primer;2. One of the fenders needs to be sanded and both need to be re-shot with primer;3. The rest of the car needs to be block sanded and re-shot with primer;4. The fenders need to be mounted and fitted with the hood;5. The axles needs to be cleaned up and refinished;6. The gas tank needs to be pulled and the new one installed;7. The dash board needs to be repaired/ or/ the cap installed;8. All of the new plastic interior pieces need to be cleaned, prepped, and dyed;9. The insulation needs to be installed;10. The old windshield needs to be removed and the new one installed; while thewindow is out the metal part of the dash should be repainted to freshen it up.11. Locating a person or shop to paint the car and body pieces that need to be assembled on to it;12. Locating a shrink to get me through this.

The past month has seen the slow and beautiful unfolding of spring, thanks to plenty of rain followed by warm sun, and enough cool days to keep blossoms from dropping too fast. The landscape has been painted with the soft reds then muted golds of flowering maples, and now the bright green of new leaves and lawns pervades, punctuated by blooming ornamental trees and shrubs. In the woods, shadbush, common spicebush and low bush blueberry are flowering. It is a pleasure to hear streams bubbling and see water levels higher on ponds and reservoirs.
Dandelions and violets are blooming vigorously in lawns, and in swampy wooded places you might find a patch of yellow marsh marigolds. Within days Canada mayflower (also called wild lily-of-the valley) will carpet the forest floor with its small white flowers, and we await the lovely pink flowers of lady's slippers. Garlic mustard seems to be blooming early this year; it is important to pull this invasive plant before it sets seed. Brown bags are available in the Conservation Office in Town Hall.
The annual amphibian migration to vernal pools happened erratically this spring, and in some places fewer wood frogs than usual were seen or heard. Matt Burne led a vernal pool walk on April 23 and showed us clumps of spotted salamander eggs, along with a few other small species such as fairy shrimp and caddis fly larvae in this rich habitat. American toads have been giving their high trills on a single note on warm evenings, and soon we shall hear the loud ascending "treeep" of gray tree frogs. A blue-spotted salamander, listed as a Mass. Species of Special Concern, was found near a pond at Drumlin Farm. Reptiles such as garter snakes and turtles have been commonly seen, and a squashed painted turtle on Weston Road was a sad reminder to drivers to avoid hitting "a rock" in the road. At this season many turtles are leaving ponds to find sandy spots in which to lay eggs. Some baby turtles stay in the underground nest right through the winter and emerge now to make their way back to water, looking a bit like chocolates in the road. How the hatchlings know which direction to go is another of nature's wonders.
Bird migration usually peaks about the second weekend in May, with some species staying here to breed and others moving farther north. Avian migrants are arriving everyday, and we rejoice to see "old friends" such as Baltimore orioles, rose-breasted grosbeaks, gray catbirds, tree swallows, and barn swallows. Ruby-throated hummingbirds are back too; it is time to put out your sugar-water feeders. Many wood warblers have already been reported in Lincoln, species such as pine, palm, Northern parula, American redstart, black-and-white, yellow, common yellow-throat, yellow-rumped and black-throated green. Diminutive house wrens are chattering away, and chipping sparrows are numerous, giving loud dry trills. Other arrivals include Eastern towhees, blue-gray gnatcatchers, bobolinks, a brown thrasher, Eastern kingbirds, great-crested flycatchers, and single sightings of an American kestrel and Eastern meadowlark passing through. A Stonehedge resident thought he had a mountain bluebird at his feeder. An odd sight was to see four bedraggled turkey vultures sitting in the rain in a bare tree at the transfer station a couple of weeks ago.
Birds are busy with nesting and maintaining territories, and a couple of homeowners have had male American robins banging into glass windows all day long, attacking their reflections as "intruders." Mute swans are nesting on Farrar Pond, Canada geese goslings have hatched, Eastern bluebirds are incubating eggs in their first broods, and Eastern phoebes are nesting in old familiar spots. On Conant Road, we are keeping an eye on a red-tailed hawk nest occupied once again, and at Drumlin Farm it is unusual to have a hooded merganser nesting in one of the wood duck boxes.
Raccoons, long absent from our backyard, turned up recently to squeal and grapple with birdseed cans, and they made quick work of getting around a baffle on a feeder on Beaver Pond Road to devour the seed. Coyotes howl up on the drumlin at night, and residents report seeing striped skunks under a porch and beautiful healthy red foxes in several locations. I saw a fisher crossing Sandy Pond Road near deCordova, and a homeowner near Farrar Pond is pleased to have a healthy population of weasels, "cute as heck." At our house all the chipmunks have disappeared, perhaps driven out by aggressive red squirrels, and a gardener near Baker Bridge Road laments the underground damage numerous meadow voles have done to garden plants.
Insects such as black flies are more obvious as the temperatures increase, and I have been pleased to see a few butterflies, including the little blue spring azure. As predicted, queen bumblebees emerged right on time, searching for places such as old mouse holes in which to lay eggs and start a colony. Various orchard bees and wasps are also out, all important pollinators. As you plant your gardens, please consider plants which will attract insect pollinators and hummingbirds.
This is a heavy tick season, so be sure to check for them and wear protective clothing.

Frances, our president, has led the last two meetings in a study of Christopher Marlowe's Dr Faustus. Here she gives us her thoughts on the experience.
To watch a performance of Dr. Faustus is to be absorbed in the characters of Faustus and Mephistophilis and their struggle, and to be entertained by the comic scenes, dazzled by the displays of magical powers and the pageantry of the mimes and masques, and almost overwhelmed by the horror of the finale.
Reading the play, however, gives me another perspective. I focus more fully on the language, and reading the play is to experience a giddying sense of whirling through time and space. We traverse the globe and its surrounds in the references to lands from the Americas to the Orient, from the Antarctic to Lapland; to the sun, moon and stars, and all the layers of the firmament; and to the ocean depths. We see or hear of people from the ancient past – actual or mythical – and personages contemporary with Faustus, including ruling princes and claimants to the Papacy, side by side with clowns and peasants.
There is an impression of watching through a marvellous lens. At times we can focus minutely on the one man, Faustus, in his study, but then the vision widens: to Wittenberg, to Germany, to Europe, to the entire (known) world, as Faustus flies across it with Mephistophilis.
Visions of great figures from the past expand our sense of passing time, but Time, in another way, is always before us in the knowledge that Faustus has a specified number of years to live. We see those twenty-four years passing almost unnoticed, filled with vain and shallow displays of magical trickery, and then suddenly we are at the final hour; the inexorable ticking and chiming of the clock marks the arrival of the pre-determined and inevitable doom.
The extraordinary power of the language evokes vivid images, from the depths of hell to the limits of the universe, often achieved through the striking juxtaposition of everyday colloquialisms with sophisticated poetic techniques.
Here are some of my favourite phrases and images, which illustrate the immense sweep of Marlowe's vision throughout the telling of this epic struggle.
His waxen wings did mount above his reach,
And melting, heavens conspired his overthrow.
… fly to India for gold,
Ransack the ocean for orient pearl…
Now that the gloomy shadow of the night….
….Leaps from th'Antarctic world unto the sky
And dims the welkin with her pitchy breath…
Be it to make the moon drop from her sphere
Or the ocean to overwhelm the world.
Had I as many souls as there be stars …
Learned Faustus …
Did mount him up to scale Olympus' top,
He views the clouds, the planets and the stars,
The tropics, zones and quarters of the sky,
From the bright circle of the horned moon
Even to the height of Primum Mobile.
... the restless course
That time doth run with calm and silent foot.
… the topless towers of Ilium …
… fairer than the evening's air,
Clad in the beauty of a thousand stars.
Stand still, you ever-moving spheres of heaven,
That time may cease, and midnight never come.
The stars move still; time runs; the clock will strike …
See, see, where Christ's blood streams in the firmament!
… such a dreadful night was never seen
Since first the world's creation did begin.
And after the horror of Faustus' end, there is the pathos of the Chorus's moving commentary:
Cut is the branch that might have grown full straight.
Although the play derives from Christian teachings, there is a wider spectrum attained by the frequent references to the Greek and Latin classics:
Be thou on earth as Jove is in the sky
And more frequented for this mystery
Than heretofore the Delphian oracle.
Were she as chaste as was Penelope,
As wise as Saba, or as beautiful
As was bright Lucifer before his fall.
Have not I made blind Homer sing to me
Of Alexander's love and Oenon's death?
You shall behold that peerless dame of Greece,
No otherwise for pomp and majesty
Than when Sir Paris crossed the seas with her
And brought the spoils to rich Dardania.
An added pleasure for me, as a modern-day reader, is the constant memory of other literary references. Milton, Marvell, Byron, Yeats and Auden are some whose lines echo and chime with Marlowe's images. The fall of Lucifer in "Paradise Lost":
…. Him (Lucifer) the Almighty Power
Hurled headlong flaming from th' ethereal sky
With hideous ruin and combustion down
To bottomless perdition, there to dwell
In adamantine chains and penal fire …
Marvell: But at my back I always hear
Time's winged chariot hurrying near…
Byron: She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies …
Yeats: And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.
Auden: ... and the expensive, delicate ship that must have seen
Something amazing, a boy falling out of the sky …
There must be thousands more such quotations which any single phrase might conjure, for each reader, and one could ponder indefinitely on the mutual influences which are at work on our great writers.

Rio Grande do Sul Museum of Art, Porto Alegre, Brazil

Nice Sunrise!
The concern
In cochabamba, between 16 and 20 kids are admitted monthly in Viedma (the poorest facility) for burn treatments, and between 1000 and 1200 operations are executed per year! Burnt kids here isn't only an issue of kids getting burnt by playing with fire or by hot liquids by accident, but many kids get deeply burnt due to some lack of education, cultural traditions or incidents. Examples include: kids living in the countryside getting thrown into fire by monkey, kids falling into a campfire during a traditional celebration due to a lack of protection, children having similar incident in poor homes where the kitchen as so poorly equipped that the fire is set in the middle of the room, children getting burnt from hot liquids because they have to help in the kitchen, kids being treated with hot stones due to cultural beliefs, kids put into a too hot bath due to lack of education and so much more! These kids are treated according to available resources. Many keep scars for the rest of their lives.
Our action
Through the action of Pintar en Bolivia we want to help these children regain their physical and psychological confidence. We want to help them reintegrate social life by helping them accept 'new situations' and 'changes' that have occured. The Arts therapy gives them the tools to experiment, feel free and communicatie in a non-verbal way, and hopefully regain confidence in themselves and the place they hold in society to fight for their futures.
We also hope one day to be able to take action in burn-prevention classes.
About the location
The Mosj Punchai centre, which means Nice Sunrise, welcomes and treatsup to 20 children aged 4 to 16 who have been severly burnt and previously treated at the hospital. This centre focuses on taking care of the children's rehabilitation, which can take up to a few years after the incident: psychological support, physiotherapist, and education. Taking action to collaborate on psychological support, we hold arts therapy sessions a few times a week.
"From the bottom of my heart it hurts to see children who suffer, they are innocent and do not deserve all that pain they have to endure, and while I can not do miracles, at least I want to contribute in everything I can to change a sad face into a smily one."
Mauricio, medicine student / PEB coordinator at Mosoj
We our proud to have been able to set up a local volunteer team to help us in our cause. The girsl take action one to twice a way, alongside their studies.
"We believe that this project has a great positive impact on the lives of these patients. Art practice during the recovery process helps patients manage their emotions, recover self-esteem and shorten recovery time. We are part of this project because we believe that this therapy helps patients and we aim to help others. This project has also enabled us to open our eyes or important issues happening right next door, which we had no idea existed!"
Camilla, Andrea, Aizha and Frances; students at the American International School of Bolivie – PEB volunteer at Mosoj

Because of Jadunath Sarkar's exceptional grasp over Persian, French, and Portuguese, in addition to English, Bengali, Sanskrit, Hindi and later Marathi, he became an exceptionally luminous figure among the historians of his time. More importantly, his profound interest in English literature helped him immensely in acquiring extraordinary proficiency in English prose, which makes his books of history a delightful read.
That is the prowess which the present generation of Pakistani historians needs to cultivate. As Winston Churchill once said, "the best way to create history is to write it". Our upcoming historians must hone their skills of writing good prose and acquiring various languages. Undoubtedly, expertise in multiple languages is an imperative quality for historians to have.
Much of Jadunath Sarkar's reputation as a historian is based on his 5-volume history of the last great Mughal, Aurangzeb Alamgir (1618-1707), published between 1912 and 1924, and the 4 volumes of the fall of the Mughal empire, published between 1932 and 1950. The other two books of Sarkar that generated a lot of debate and some controversy are those on the 17th century Maratha hero and king, Shivaji (1630-1680): Shivaji and His Times and The House of Shivaji, published in 1919 and 1948 respectively.
These books have made Sarkar's work particularly contentious. He is relentless in his criticism of the last of the great Mughal kings, which brought him in the cross hairs of historians like Shafaat Ahmad Khan and R. P. Tripathi, both of whom were from Allahabad. Sarkar and Shafaat Ahmad Khan already nursed malice against each other but things came to a head when the third volume of Sarkar's History of Aurangzib got published in 1916. That volume underscored Aurangzeb's proclivity to enforce orthodox Islamic policies. It contains material which can be read as a "straightforward indictment of Islam".
It is pertinent to mention here that Aurangzeb remained a controversial figure not only in his own times, but received a great deal of flak from the Hindus who considered him an "intolerant" Muslim ruler in a predominantly Hindu land. Many saw Sarkar as having played a considerable role in fomenting such an impression about Aurangzeb.

Quite contrary to the opinion held by Hindus, many if not most Muslims revered him for his piety and strict observance of Islamic sharia. Hence, among the educated Indians of the 20th Century, Aurangzeb proved to be an instrument of communal antipathy causing a cleavage between Hindus and Muslims.
"Shivaji Bhonsle also known as Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, was an Indian warrior king and a member of the Bhonsle Maratha clan. Shivaji carved out an enclave from the declining Adilshahi sultanate of Bijapur that formed the genesis of the Maratha Empire. In 1674, he was formally crowned as the Chhatrapati (Monarch) of his realm at Raigad." By the early 20th Century, communal misgivings among the Hindus and the Muslims had peaked; Shivaji emerged as a symbol of Maratha and Hindu pride. All said, Shivaji was no less contentious a historical character than Aurangzeb and both of them became the subject of Jadunath Sarkar's study. As a consequence, he incurred the wrath of both Muslim and Maratha historians.
When Jadunath Sarkar died in 1958, as a doddering old man aged 88, the eminent Bengali historian Professor N. K. Sinha prophesied, "it is not likely that Sir Jadunath Sarkar will ever be displaced. His wonderful accuracy will secure to him immunity from the common lot of historical workers. So far as we can visualise, in the near future, in his chosen field, there will be only scanty gleaners after copious harvest."
But while Professor Sinha was eulogising Sarkar in these glowing terms, young scholars at Allahabad, Aligarh and Oxford were doing historical research that would ensure that by the 1960s and 1970s, Jadunath Sarkar's name would be all but forgotten among the prominent historians of India. That was partly because of the waning interest in medieval Indian history, particularly with reference to the Persian Islamicate, a term originally coined by Marshall Hodgson to describe not the religion of Islam but to the social and cultural history of Islam and Muslims.
A small number of historians working on Mughal India were acquainted with his name and knew about the importance of his work, but his academic status suffered a steep decline immediately after his death. This was particularly so because the historians of the 1970s had withdrawn from working on emperors, battles and the character of kings anymore.
Quite contrary to Jadunath Sarkar and some other historians of his ilk — Shibli Naumani for instance — the new generation of historians did not subscribe to highlighting the role of heroes in history like Thomas Carlyle had. 'Heroes' had been substituted by 'causality'.
Renowned historian of Medieval India, Satish Chandra is reported to have said about Sarkar, that he "projected Aurangzeb's struggle to conquer the south as a Greek tragedy… [but] the search for causal relationship cannot be given up by historians". According to Dipesh Chakrabarty, "cause was a code word for institutional analysis. Into the list of causes fell economy, institutions, parties and politics at the Mughal court, money, wages, exploitations, histories of the state and of revenue crisis, peasant revolt, provincial autonomy and so on".
The succeeding generation of historians has studied the Mughal period as an age of transition to capitalism which relegated the role of personality to insignificance. The glaring questions posed to these historians were: Could India have become a capitalist economy on its own, without the mediation of British colonial rule? Were underdevelopment and 'distortions of Indian institutions' results of colonial rule? These historians, unlike Jadunath Sarkar, have been starkly anti-empire in their attitude. For Satish Chandra, "Aurangzeb was neither a hero nor a villain, but someone representing an old order that could not recognise the stirrings and incipient growth of a new socio-economic system".
A similar tirade against Sarkar was continued by Chandra's students, M. Athar Ali (in his well-acclaimed work The Mughal Nobility under Aurangzeb) and Muzaffar Alam in his The Crisis of Empire in Mughal North India. However, "a silent but perhaps the most magisterial dismissal came in the form of Irfan Habib's path-breaking work The Agrarian System of Mughal India, which virtually 'displaced Sarkar from the canon'."
The list of Sarkar's detractors does not end here. Peter Hardy also found several faults with his broad brush analysis of historical events. Having said this, Jadunath Sarkar's historical narratives are important on two counts. First, he provides a critical insight into 18th century India which was undergoing an important transition at the time. Secondly, the literary fervour of his prose adds the much needed spice to the bare bones of historical facts.
His style and fastidiousness for historical facts can serve as a source of instruction for the upcoming generation of historians.

Which processor cooler is the best? The choices are overwhelming. Hardware.Info to the rescue! We test no less than 49 different coolers in a consistent test environment producing very reliable results. After reading this you will know which fan will blow you away.
Even with the processors getting new and smarter energy saving features and small production processes ensuring that the transistors use less and less energy, the x86 processors remain up at the top of energy consumption tables. Well-functioning cooling is still a must but that does not have to mean a lot of noise.
In this article we are looking at 49 tower coolers which consist of heat pipes transporting the heat away from the processor into a big heatsink from where the fan attached to the side of the heatsink leads the air away towards the outtake fans at the back of the chassis. The tower coolers are by far the most popular processor coolers currently. Years of improvements have contributed to more efficiency and better integration into the front to back airflow within an ATX chassis. The biggest downside is the height of the coolers due to the 10-12 cm fan attached to them. If your housing is not very deep, then you should probably consider a topflow cooler. It is not as good for the airflow, but the upside is that you can arrange other components such as the power supply to benefit from the cooling airflow.
Left to right: a tower, a topflow and a water cooler. In this test we are looking at tower coolers..
The third alternative for cooling the processor is water cooling. Water cooling is becoming easier accessible to the general public as there are more and more kits available on the market. A couple of things to consider: not every chassis is easy to integrate water cooling into and the price still remains higher than that of regular air coolers. Here we limit ourselves to the tower coolers, but we are also working on a review of the topflow and water cooling systems.
Some of the coolers have been tested or reviewed before both individually and in other round-ups and some you will get to know for the first time. This year, we have changed up or setup and that is at least partially the reason for us to test all the current cooler models.
