OGA Approves UKOG Acquisition of Weald Basin License
UK Oil & Gas Investments (UKOG) reported Wednesday that it has received final regulatory consent from the Oil & Gas Authority to acquire a 20-percent interest in the UK onshore Weald Basin license PEDL143 via the firm's farm-in with Egdon Resources.
PEDL143 covers 35.5 square miles and is adjacent to Horse Hill license PEDL137, in which UKOG has a 20.16-percent interest, and the Brockham oilfield within license PL235, in which UKOG also has an interest.
PEDL143 contains the Holmwood conventional prospect, which the PEDL143 partnership plans to test with the Holmwood-1 (H-1) exploration well. Full planning consent was granted for the well in September 2015. The well is intended to be drilled to a total depth of approximately 4,600 feet true vertical depth, to penetrate the Upper and Lower Portland Sandstone reservoir targets, the full Kimmeridge tight oil section and the underlying Middle Jurassic Corallian Sandstone reservoir objective.
The H-1 exploration well will target an estimated mean gross prospective resources of 5.6 million barrels for the combined Portland and Corallian objectives.
The H-1 well will also provide a key new penetration into the Kimmeridge tight oil play fairway, adjacent to UKOG's Horse Hill licences. The H-1 well will represent only the third modern well to penetrate and sample the Kimmeridge tight oil section alongside Horse Hill-1 and Balcombe-2. UKOG said that this means the well will provide an insightful modern data point in the overall tight oil proof of concept process in the Weald Basin.
UKOG Executive Chairman Stephen Sanderson commented in a company statement:
"As a result of OGA's consent for the PEDL143 farm-In, UKOG has now materially increased the prospective resources and recoverable oil potential of its core Weald portfolio. The conventional Holmwood prospect alone adds an additional net 1.1 million mean un-risked barrels of prospective resources to UKOG.
"The additional potential contained within the Kimmeridge tight oil section, to be tested by the H-1 well, provides the company with both a stronger overall position in the tight oil play fairway and a further opportunity to validate the regional extent and commerciality of the play.
"Given UKOG's position in the Kimmeridge limestone play, together with its knowledgeable position in the Portland gained from Brockham and Horse Hill-1, we plan to be an active partner, particularly in assisting well design and data acquisition within the H-1 well.
We look forward to a fruitful relationship with the partnership and future success in the H-1 well."

Thesis Research TipsDecember 10th, 2011
The Resourceful Treasure For Thesis Research
For any research, the searching process needs to be scientific one and not just readings of books or any print media. Moreover, this process should begin since the time when you engage yourself in choosing an appropriate thesis topic. In essence, what you will necessitate for your thesis research are the wide range of sources and an organized mindset, capable of producing efficient results. A research thesis help supplied by DissertationService.co.uk always proves to be accurate and superior.
• You have to be accustomed to making notes, writing points, marking the text, keeping track, and being updated. All these will lessen the hardship involved. The scholarly journals are considered to be the number one sources among all others including popular public magazine, newspapers, trade publications, and Internet.
• Before you go deep into any source, a foremost priority must be given to knowing whether or not the source is a credible, authentic, and valuable. Doing so will ensure better collection of data and good savings of your time and efforts as well.
Newspaper Articles And Internet
• The newspaper articles and Internet sources can also be the powerful sources—provided that you could find relevant materials and vital links. Newspaper articles are the pivotal sources for new thesis research.
Academic Or Scholarly Journals
• The academic or scholarly journals comprise of just the research or similar stuffs published by the university or research academy. They are written in length enough for the in-depth analysis belonging to the specific field research done by scholars, experts, or professors in associations with the research institutes or academic organizations.
• Their writing reflects a formal approach, only suitable to the knowledgeable readers like researchers, professors, and the aspirants—all well verse with the subjective jargon, terminology, background, and current trends.
• But similar to the thesis format, these writing too will contain chapters of literature review, methodology etc. Plus, not only are they published but also priory assessed by the editorial staff similar to the thesis committee.
Public Magazines
• In total contrast to the journal articles, the magazines released weekly or monthly are the commercial ventures catering mostly to entertainment needs of the generalized people, with all allures. Lacking the thesis research analysis, their articles present only a general or complete overview of the concerned topic.
• Inconsistent with the scholastic language, here, the language remains general with informal style and is written by either professional journalists or the writers, both employed and freelance. At the same time, the contents of these magazines reveal people's opinions more than factual information.
Trade Publications
• With clear differentiations with both types of the above-mentioned sources, the trade publications are the industry-oriented releases issued periodically or monthly. The contents illustrate specific viewpoints, either expressing something or even clearly advocating it, for e.g. assertive and legislative statements of industry experts.
• Their writing exhibits both general language and industry jargon with informal style — despite the fact that the intended readership is the industry people and the new aspirants.
• Like the scholarly journals, these articles also provide the graphs, charts and/or diagrams but with or without bibliography.
For thesis writing or thesis research, DissertationService.co.uk has the real researchers, everyone better than the others. Also, they are essentially scattered into their specialties covering almost all viable fields.

Uh oh, here come the insurance battles I've been waiting for and hoping wouldn't materialize. The first salvo, according to hotel-online:
- Las Vegas-based Pinnacle Entertainment on Friday became the first gaming operator to reopen a hurricane damaged casino in New Orleans, but a dispute with its primary insurance carrier could affect redevelopment plans for the company's destroyed casino in Biloxi, Miss.
Pinnacle, which had three of the company's eight casinos closed because of Gulf Coast hurricanes over the past month, said its primary insurance carrier believes damage at the Casino Magic in Biloxi caused by Hurricane Katrina on Aug. 29 was the result of flooding rather than a weather catastrophe. The company, Westport Indemnity Corp., plans to limit payments as a result.

The April Fishes Sing Songs About the Struggle Upstream
Singer/songwriter Rupa Marya has always been acutely sensitive to issues of life and death. A doctor by trade, she no longer works in the intensive care unit at the UCSF Medical Center but she has spent a lot of time with patients in their final days, and many of her songs have been inspired by what she's witnessed.
When she launched her polyglot band Rupa and the April Fishes about eight years ago, Marya was breaking through two years of musical silence following the death of her father. The result was a remarkable collection of songs -- mostly written in French -- that ended up on the band's 2008 acclaimed debut album Extraordinary Rendition (Cumbancha).
After taking a break following the birth of her son Bija Milagro last July, Marya is back in action and will be returning to the stage Friday for a concert at The Independent. The show also marks the release of the band's latest album, Live at The Independent, a recording of a rip-roaring set that captures her mix of communal ecstasy and righteous anger, like on an incendiary cover of The Clash's "The Guns of Brixton." She hasn't lost her activist edge, but Marya is definitely in a different frame of mind these days.
"This is my inauguration as a mom, and I've been in this other zone and world since last July," she says. "We're going through our songbook, picking the pieces we haven't played out very much and reworking some songs. It's been an opportunity to recollect and enjoy where we've been."
Sponsored By
Consisting of bassist Safa Shokrai, drummer Aaron Kierbel, trumpeter Mario Silva, cellist Misha Khalikulov, and Rupa on guitar and vocals, the April Fishes combine the topical urgency and sensual lyricism of Latin American nueva trova with an array of enticing grooves that draw from styles like reggae, cumbia, jazz, funk, and beyond. Each of the band's three studio albums document Marya's evolving consciousness, with 2012's Build inspired by her growing connections to indigenous people, and their push for self-determination and sustainable farming. Writer and activist Rebecca Solnit wrote the liner notes for Build, and she'll be on hand at the Independent Friday to preside as the evening's guiding spirit.
"Rebecca Solnit wrote Infinite City: A San Francisco Atlas and she'll be showing maps of the city during the show, talking about shifting landscapes. In a culture where the free market dominates, the most tenderly valued thing, your home, can go up for sale in an instant," says Marya, who notes there will be free tickets set aside for the first 10 people who present their San Francisco eviction notice at the ticket window.
The lifecycle of cities and neighborhoods has become a central focus for Marya, who has watched the diverse community of artists and musicians in the Mission District that gave birth to the April Fishes disperse throughout the region. Even Marya herself ended up being priced out of The City, which resulted in her moving about 20 miles south, down along the San Mateo coast.
Marya says that she's felt the impact of the affordable housing crisis in the Bay Area in both the music world and her job.
"People get sick and end up getting evicted and sit in the hospital for months with nowhere to go," she says. "When you remove an older person from their home their life starts to unravel. I call it economic violence. It's no one's fault. You can't blame a person for coming into a neighborhood they like, but when it comes without protections for people it's so horrendous and wrong."
Motherhood has fueled her thirst for justice, but it has also changed the trajectory of her music. She's deep at work on her next project: a collaboration with bassist/producer Todd Sickafoose that features string arrangements for the Grammy-nominated Quartet San Francisco by composer Mark Orton. (Orton is a founder of the beloved Bay Area roots chamber ensemble Tin Hat, who recently gained widespread recognition with his score for Alexander Payne's film Nebraska).
During Marya's stage hiatus these past several months, she says she's been taking stock, and thinking deeply about finding a new balance between the personal and the political.
"Now when I'm working on music I'm thinking that this song will be in my son's world, and what sounds do I want to bring to him?" Marya says.
Born in San Francisco to Punjabi Indian parents and raised for several years in the south of France, Marya grew up in a striving immigrant family with all the usual pressure to pursue a professional career. At the same time, she burned with creative energy that she longed to channel through her love of music.
She's pulled off the difficult feat of meeting her parents' expectations while also living out the Bohemian idyll as a musician. As a teenager she attended Castilleja in Palo Alto, and like many other high-achieving women she credits her experience in an elite all-girls school with seeding her expansive ambition.
Sponsored By
"They sent me to an all-girls school hoping I would become a very quiet-spoken, proper Indian girl," Marya said with a laugh. "And I think it backfired a little bit."
Rupa and the April Fishes play the Independent on Friday, April 25, 2014 at 9 p.m. Tickets are $20. For tickets and more information, visit theindependentsf.com.

From publisher blurb:
Galaxy Command is Otherverse America's space-fantasy setting, a retro-future based on the tropes of bad TV sci-fi rather than realistic concerns. In contrast to the serious and almost plausible Otherverse America, or the ultra-violent, espionage action of Psi-Watch, Galaxy Command is an all ages setting with a focus on galaxy spanning adventure and exploration.
Galaxy Command fully embraces the bad science, lazy alien design and superficial world building common to 70s sci-fi. All the available player races are humanoid, most are sexually and culturally compatible with Earth born humans, and most display distinctive planetary monocultures.
Races of the Command Fleet expands on the racial options found in the Galaxy Command Campaign Setting (Otherverse Games, 2009) and its related sourcebooks. Inside you'll find new racial traits, new feats and tons of new cultural details. In addition, you'll met a few new races, including human offshoots like the glamorous, proud Athenians or the rag-tag Survivor Fleet, as well as some interesting new aliens commonly found aboard Command vessels. New information on the WARSTAR regime will let you play a crimson-skinned behemoth form behind the Iron Curtain of Space, and have your play experience be dramatically different than if you chose to play as a Galaxy Command spacer.

44) Before Going to Salt Lake city
Ludwik Kowalski (February 14, 2003)
Department of Mathematical Sciences
Montclair State University, Upper Montclair, NJ, 07043
Return to the clickable list of itemsLet me begin with a message which I posted on the Phys-L discussion list several days ago. I wrote: Two more items were added to my cold fusion site at:
A new kind of alchemy? Will it be confirmed?
As most people know, chemistry evolved from alchemy, just as astronomy evolved from star gazing and from astrology. Alchemists tried to produce gold from less expensive elements. They failed and this led to the realization that chemical elements are immutable. The idea of immutability of elements, confirmed by all chemical experiments, is no longer as absolute as it used to be; we know that nuclear reactions often result in transmutation of elements. But this happens only when kinetic energies of subatomic particles (neutrons, protons and their aggregates) exceed those encountered in ordinary chemical experiments. An observed transmutation of elements at low temperature, if confirmed, would indicate that subatomic particles are somehow accelerated to unusually high energies.
Suppose that the potential difference between two electrodes is 100 volts. It could be used to accelerate protons to an energy of 10 eV. This is not sufficient to overcome an electrical repulsion of atomic nuclei. But suppose that a proton is attached to a cloud of a million electrons. (Speculations about the possible stability of such a cloud are described in Appendix 2.) A proton attached to the cloud, in traveling toward the positive electrode, could gain kinetic energy of ten million eV. This would be sufficient to penetrate a nucleus and cause a nuclear reaction. The purpose of this essay is to summarize two articles about experimental evidence of nuclear transmutations occurring in simple tabletop experiments. The authors of the articles, Hal Fox and Shangxian Jin, invited me to work with them and I will summarize what I know about their work. I plan use this essay as a basis for writing about the outcome of my ten-day-long visit to their private laboratory. This summary is limited to experimental facts; comments and tentative speculations are to be found in appendices. The articles were published in the Journal of New Energy (1,2); Hal Fox, from Salt Lake City, is the editor of that journal.
Experimental Setup
The setup, called LENT-1 reactor, was essentially a vessel with two electrodes made of oxidized zirconium. It was partially filled with 25 cc of distilled water in which various amounts of thorium nitrate (between 0.1 and 0.5 grams) were dissolved. The vessel was hermetically sealed to withstand high pressures (tens of atmospheres) at high temperatures (up to 500 F). The electrodes were connected to secondary winding of a power transformer (up to 2 kVA). The typical current flowing through the electrolyte was 5A while the effective a.c. voltage was typically less than 100V. The potential differences across the electrolyte were very small in comparison with potential differences along the very thin layers of zirconium oxide covering the electrodes. This fact seems to be significant, as elaborated in Appendix 2.
Thorium nitrate was chosen because it is highly soluble compound containing several radioactive nuclides (232Th in equilibrium with its daughters). The main purpose of the experiments was to show that the initial radioactivity can be reduced very significantly during short time intervals, most often 30 minutes. Let me mention that numerous attempts to reduce radioactivity, shortly after radium was discovered by Marie Curie, were made but they were not successful. According to (3): High and low temperatures were tried, strong electric and magnetic fields were applied, tremendous pressures, and the strongest possible chemical reagents were put to use, but not a single one of the most powerful weapons of the physical laboratories affected the radiation of energy by radium. In that context the findings of Fox and Jin are very puzzling. At present I accept their data but during the experiments my position will be different; I will do everything possible to question their findings. But I will be open-minded; I will change my skeptical attitude if we fail to contradict the data.
Summary of experimental results
The authors write that it took them three years to develop a procedure for the effective transmutation in the LENT-1 reactor. Over a dozen successful experiments were performed. The method used consisted of comparing radioactivity before the current was turned on with radioactivity after the current was turned off, 30 minutes later.
1) A Geiger counter measuring radioactivity of the electrolyte showed practically nothing but the background after the processing. The level of a constant radioactivity before the experiment was considerably above the background.
2) The same counter was used to measure the radioactivity from the surface of electrodes. The electrodes were not radioactive initially but became radioactive after 30 minutes of processing. The most remarkable was that the surface radioactivity was not constant, it decreased, more or less exponentially to a constant level (about 90 counts per minute) after 200 hours. This was interpreted as an indication that relatively short-living radioactive nuclides were formed through nuclear reactions.
3) A mass spectroscopic analysis of electrolyte, performed in a specialized laboratory, showed that 95% of thorium was lost. This was consistent with what has been inferred from the Geiger counter data (see point 1 above).
4) The second article of Fox and Jin focuses on the use of two gamma ray spectrometers, one using a pure Ge detector. The mass spectrometric analysis showed that the amount of Th in the electrolyte was reduced from 4399 ppm to 9.5 ppm. This confirmed findings reported in the first article.
5) The below shows the cutaway view of the vessel and the location of the Ge detector. The gamma ray spectra (actually shown in the publication) were obtained during one hour interval immediately after the end of processing. The vessel was not open and gamma rays had to penetrate the 1 cm wall of zirconium.

The setup shown to me was slightly different. It was essentially a zirconium cup whose central electrode (a zirconium rod) was supported by a covering teflon plate.

As illustrated below, the radioactivity from the entire setup (based on four well known gamma ray peaks due to daughters of thorium) was reduced by approximately 50%. This is five times more that could possibly be attributed to a change in the distribution of radioactivity (concentration in the precipitate).

It depends on what fraction of the total radioactivity is represented by the selected gamma ray peaks.

Aside from daily living expenses, there are other costs worth considering, because they are just as important to your children's development as their basic needs. These include education expenses, day care or babysitting and medical costs, birthday parties, bar/bat mitzvah, and car expenses. While these are not specifically included in state guidelines for child support, they should still be factored in, as they can greatly affect the child's well-being.
Negotiating child support is not always be easy, but if both parents put their child's welfare in mind, they can get through the process as smoothly as possible. The services of reputable NJ divorce lawyers like those in Romanowski Law Offices, can be very helpful in objectively reaching an amicable settlement. Issues, after all, are just temporary; but being family is permanent.

The toll-free telephone number is 1-800-273-8255. It is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Hotline professionals will also work closely with local VA mental health providers to help callers from across the country. "This is a great service for our veterans," Maj. Gen. Michael Gorman, South Dakota secretary of Military and Veterans Affairs, said in the release. "It's important to have this hotline so our veterans have someone they can talk to." South Dakota veterans who need mental health help can also call the South Dakota Division of Mental Health. The number is 1-800-265-9684. According to the release, the VA will spend $3 billion for mental health this year. Reporter Scott Waltman

Living in the Bayside suburbs of Melbourne I'm really lucky as I am within range of five sensational fresh fruit & vegie markets. My favourite would have to be the Dandenong Market. It's so multi-cultural, I can buy my fruit & vegies and enjoy the thrill of chasing down the best produce for the best price, amongst the hustle & bustle of so many different cultures all mingling and enjoying the experience. Everyone is happy, and I love hearing the vendors call out their specials in loud confident voices whilst trying to grab your attention away from the other enthusiastic vendor next door.
This morning I was walking through the selection of stalls offering clothing, technology, homewares etc. when I spotted a stand that had dresses in Indian Cotton. For years I have coveted Indian Cotton clothing, it feels so nice on your skin, especially in the warm months we experience here in Australia, but it is also the most beautiful quality. I love the random patterns, and my most favourite is the patchwork fabrics bringing so many opportunities to accessorise a dress differently each time you wear it.
I was warmly welcomed by Amin, who told me I was his lucky 1st customer of the day! (reminds me of my trips to Bali where that indicates that they'll bargain fairly with you). Amin is from Afghanistan and came to our country 16 years ago. He is really passionate about offering "something different to everyone else". I was admiring a couple of the dresses when he pointed to a pile of bags on the ground that he was busy unpacking when I walked into his stall. Out of the bags he pulled at least 8 different designs of maxi dresses that were made of the most incredible Indian Cotton. LOVE at first sight!
I fell in love with one dress in particular – this one – oooooh! Unfortunately it was too tight around my arm, so Amin reassured me that he had "lots more at home" and that he will be bringing more over the next few days and there is definitely one larger there. This one was noticeably smaller in cut than the other maxi dresses (typical of me to pick the one that isn't in stock!) so I'm hanging out for a call from Amin to come in and try on the other ones in the next few days. Oh and did I mention the prices? The dresses in the pic at the top are $30 each or 2 for $50! And the one I'm after below, $35! WOW, quality & affordable 🙂
While I was there at least 4 other curvy ladies popped in to have a look. It was clear that Amin's mission is to make his customers happy, and they were 🙂
If you're in the area, I highly recommend you drop in and have a look. The store is called "Plus Size Outfit & Bollywood Fashion". The sizing goes up to 6XL. You won't be disappointed, and Amin's customer service is top notch – please tell him I sent you.
Love your shape!

It's been a year after Steve Job's Death, and things seem to be going gangbusters. With a collection of releases coming around in the fall, it seemed that everyone was waiting with baited breath at what Apple would come out with.
Leaks happened, of course. the iPhone 5 would be a bit taller, but no fatter. Same with the iPod Touch. The MacBook line would be fattened with Retina Displays. Some lines would be a bit delayed, but that meant they'd all have the most up-to-date inputs and chipsets. Plus, everything would be coming out at one time – the Apple line of computers/phones/music players would be all new in time for Christmas.
Of course, chinks were beginning to show up.
First, of course, were the delays. This almost didn't happen before, but people didn't question things. After all, better to get things right than to rush things.
Then came the issue with the Retina MacBook Pro being so tightly packed that one couldn't repair it if it were to get into trouble. There was a bit of problem with a certain standard of replaceability of the parts, but the company seemed to skip past that problem.
Then…came the iPhone 5, with the iMaps program. A program with a reputation of being an absolute disaster – not fully undeserved, but not nearly as bad as people were ready to believe.
The thing is, there was insane greatness in the program. Whereas most maps (including Google) used multiple scales that one could notice whenever one pinched the map for a much tighter or wider view (try it. Go from a town view to a street view in a second on your smartphone – or the opposite direction. You'll see either a fuzzy map that gets slowly better as the map gets downloaded, or the lines get VERY SMALL until a new map comes in with the streets either disappeared or resized to fit in with the scale.
With Apple iMaps, the roads rescale themselves as the scale changes. You can go from State to Region to Town to Block view and you'll see roads pop into view, names fade in and fade out, and details come in as you get closer. The changes are pretty much seamless, with roads popping in when they fit – the more minor the road, the later they pop in and the later still they take up more than a line's worth of space on the map. No fuzzy lines when you go from far to close, and no micro-roading when you go from close to far.
However, nobody noticed this insane greatness because everyone noticed the lack of detail, various inaccuracies in roads, the ugly way the 3D view handled bridges and isolated tall buildings, and just generally the fact that they went from the hyper-detail of Google Maps to the general detail of Just Another Map Program. That it was put out by Apple itself turned the release into an absolute disaster.
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Of course, this wasn't something that never happened before.
Two years before there was the iPhone 4, which promised new advances in technology and a sharp look to boot. The highlight was, of course, the two antennas on the outside of the phone, making for better reception and making the antennas part of the structure (and the insides a bit more spacious).
Soon after the phone got out into the public sphere, there was a major problem discovered: One could kill off reception by placing a finger at a certain point where the two antennas sit by each other but don't touch.
We heard about it for a while. Apple gave out free bumpers so as to protect the antennae from the touch that would kill off reception. They also fixed the antenna display on the screen so that it showed a more linear (and larger) measure of reception. And in the end, I purchased my iPhone 4 with a joke about two million first adapters.
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
So what's different between then and now?
Steve Jobs.
He was around during the iPhone Antenna issue. He had given the reasons for the antenna setup, why they were moved outside the phone instead of keeping them inside, and how it helped the phone with both reception and in creating space within the phone. In short, he gave the reasons why, and people learned to accept it.
Were he around during the recent iMaps issue, he would have pointed out how the lines in the maps changed and expanded as you got closer to them. He would have shown you how details got better as you got closer, and how the 3d was supposed to work. He may have even come upon something that looked stupid, at which he would have uttered an apology for the faux pas, thereby laying in the expectation of an insanely great work that was still in progress.
Two years. Two different outcomes. One person – once around, now missing.
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
There's another way to look at it – one which should be familiar to the reader once it's stated:
The Steve Jobs Reality Distortion Field is no longer in effect.
It's not so much that we can now crap "crap" (although for many, my brother Matt included, that is EXACTLY and SOLELY what it means). It means that one guy's view of things Apple is no longer affecting how the rest of the world views things Apple. We're now making our decisions on what we see, not on what Steve Jobs tells us to see (or imagine).
It also means that Apple is now just another company. A company that's rich and fat with intellectual property that allows it to sue half the electronics world, but just another company nevertheless.
And the LAST time it was just another company it almost went under. Indeed, it was a wild gamble that brought Jobs back into the company, after him failing at his own computer company and having had some success making 3D cartoons. A gamble that worked for a long time…
Thing is, we're back to those days.
Say what you will about the Steve Jobs Reality Distortion Field, but it put a sheen around the company – a sheen that Apple would come to live up to. When Steve Jobs wanted perfection, he would get it – and all imperfections ended up referring to the perfection Steve wanted and knew would come about.
The iPhone 4 would become the iPhone 4S, with the antenna issue fixed in a way that worked better than anyone else could have conceived. Maybe iMaps will come out the same way (like I said, there IS insane greatness in there, you just have to look), but now it will just be iMaps trying to become Google Maps, not iMaps reaching for perfection.
And that's the bad side of the Steve Jobs Reality Distortion Field disappearing: We no longer have an idea of what could be, just what is and its flaws. We don't see the smooth translation between scenes, we just see that it's so far from Google maps that it hurts to look at it.
No "what could (and should) be." Just what is, and why it shouldn't have been.
And it's a loss.

Vehicle Description:
THE VETTE NET is a Nationwide and International Corvette Brokerage Network, proud Lifetime Business Member #991 of the National Corvette Museum.
We are proud to offer a very special Mid-year, a 1965 Nassau Convertible in very original condition and significant documentation.
It came from the factory with the optional L75 engine rated at 300 HP and 360 lb-ft of torque. It appears that the original engine is in the car having the VIN and proper suffix "HF" (300 HP/manual transmission) stamped on the deck. It is mated with the four-speed transmission, believed correct as well. There are no other power options... Engine compartment is clean and detailed appearing correct. Undercarriage is clean, rubber parts, shocks, joints... were addressed.
Car is mostly original with only an older repaint which is color correct and still shows great. Interior is all original maintained in excellent condition for 48 year old car. All is in working order including the clock. Odometer was replaced when it showed 93K and is available. A new one shows now 7900 miles, so it is safe to assume that actual miles are around 101000. A new convertible soft top was just installed.
Car comes with a color coded Hard Top, a rare and desirable option (pictured wrapped).
Best part is that car comes with a very desirable piece of documentation, the Protect-O-Plate together with other original delivery paperwork as seen in the pics. Also, quite a few receipts are available. Present owner got it from the second owner who owned the car since 1975.
This is your chance to secure a desirable Mid-year Convertible in excellent condition, documented and with lots of appreciation potential. Also, due to its pristine and original condition, this car may be a candidate for judging.

I just broke the blog layout. Never fear. I'll either repair it, or break it worse. What could go wrong?

Maybe you can offer Carrie up as a sacrifice?

I have no idea. I think Carrie's changed her name and is living in the hills of Montana somewhere. If her, her husband, and her son are all hiding in Montana, then that brings the state population up to a record-breaking "5"

How come, if it's a co-blog, I'm never informed/consulted on changes?
Although... I do like this one better.

No, no. You're thinking of how they dynamite to go fishing. Punkin huntin' requires a lot of patience and cunning.
And a set of strong arms to set the spring on the jaw trap. They take their punkin hunts seriously up there.

It's called witty banter. Something you don't seem to understand, Pete, as you always go for the 'c' and 'i' adjectives. ;)
Although, Carrie has yet to banter with me today. Or a few weeks.

But I can't.
So, I won't.

There is no rep point system on blogs, I suppose. That's a shame. Rep points were a nice thing about AW. Alas.
- Saturday, October 13, 2007 4:02:00 PM
- Lori said...
MySpace blogs let you leave "kudos." They're like rep points, only they're not. They're points that people add to the comments they're already leaving, so really, I don't understand the point.
The blue layout is going to take a little getting used to. Is it permanent or transitory? I want to know whether I really need to get used to it.
- Sunday, October 14, 2007 8:46:00 AM
- Pete said...
It's me being restless and shifting my legs. It's as permenant as anything.
Actually, I REALLY like the blue-layout, but I wish I could make it wider. That's why I changed the layout in the first place, because I didn't like how thin the text runs down the page, especially if I write a lengthy article.
I'm sure I'm still playing.
- Sunday, October 14, 2007 11:21:00 AM

There is another alternative: Don't write lengthy articles. ;)
- Sunday, October 14, 2007 12:31:00 PM

Ironically, this blog post which has twenty comments now is the shortest out of all the surrounding posts. Evidently I talk too much. :)

text: Allright, I know that guitar amps are not a good idea for bass guitars but what if I wanted to plug a guitar into a bass amp. How would it respond? I'm not really concerned about distortion that vacuum tubes would produce, only a clean sound. Just wondering wether it would be a bad idea considering the frequencies of the instruments are different. Thank you.


text: Patented recently is an invention which relates to an absorbent composite for an absorbent article, and more particularly to an absorbent composite comprising fibrous material and superabsorbent material having a Column Absorbency Under Load (CAUL) above 10 g/g. Such an absorbent composite provides a superabsorbent material having superior AUL and permeability, thereby providing improved absorption and rewetting properties. An absorbent article that contains such a composite provides improved ability to absorb and retain fluids, thus preventing excessive rewetting and leakage and making the article more comfortable to wear. An absorbent garment includes an extensible backsheet having opposite side regions, a liquid permeable topsheet having opposite side portions, and a retention portion having opposite side edges and an inner surface defining an area. The retention portion is disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet with the inner surface facing the topsheet and with the opposite side portions of the backsheet and the topsheet extending beyond the side edges of the retention portion. The opposite side portions of the topsheet are attached to the opposite side portions of the backsheet on opposite sides of the retention portion. Less than 30% of the area of the inner surface of the retention portion is attached to the topsheet. A method for absorbing bodily exudates with an absorbent garment is also provided.

Current Views on Fish Welfare summarises the view of more than 80 experts in the field of fish welfare, collected over a period of more than five years in an international network entitled "Welfare of Fish in European Aquaculture" (Cost action 867), which was sponsored by the COST Office. COST is the acronym for European Cooperation in Science and Technology. During the time of the action a shift became evident in the general perception of fish welfare.
It now not only includes variables with very direct effects on growth, and thereby the economy of the farmer, such as disease, water and feed quality, but the term also includes fish preferences and biology-based stimulation measures. This Cost action has contributed to the notion that welfare sets biological criteria for a sustainable production system. The reader is presented with an overview of the results obtained, which can help to guide the way towards welfare of farmed fish in present and future production systems.
The first chapter gives an overview of the scientific papers that follow. All scientific papers and the first chapter were previously published in Fish Physiology and Biochemistry, vol. 38, number 1, 2012. Given the accruing interest in fish welfare in society, each of these scientific papers should be accessible for stakeholders that are not part of the research community. For that reason each of the scientific papers is preceded by a summary for non-experts.
Part I: Conceptual framework of welfare in fish
Part II: Factual components of welfare
Part III: Assessment of welfare in fish
Part IV: Implementation of welfare in fish
Part V: Background information on the network

The Tiger's Mind (2012) is an abstract crime thriller set against the backdrop of a Brutalist villa. Six characters—Tiger, Mind, Tree, Wind, Circle and a girl called Amy, (the set, music, sounds, special effects, director and narration respectively)—battle one another for control of the film as it unfolds on screen. The film explores the relationships between these characters as they emerge and unfold: grappling, wrestling, and dreaming with one another.
The Tiger's Mind was developed as part of a publishing project initiated by Holder and Gibson, which deploys composer Cornelius Cardew's 1967 narrative score The Tiger's Mind as a means for producing speech.

Intelligence in children: Can we make our kids smarter?
© 2008 Gwen Dewar, Ph.D., all rights reserved
Intelligence-boosting products are big business: Books, toys, DVDs, software, games, and educational programs designed to make your child into an intellectual prodigy.Many of these products come with claims—-explicit or implicit—-that their usefulness is supported by scientific evidence.
Are they really?
Sometimes. For instance, scientific studies suggest that
• playing with blocks may help kids develop a variety of cognitive skills
• music training raises a child's IQ
• academic programs that teach critical thinking skills enhance IQ
• some board games boost preschool math skills
• some video games enhance spatial skills and working memory
But many "brainy" products are snake oil—-or just downright silly. Like the DVD that presents babies with images of toys while a series of disembodied voices recite nursery rhymes in English, French, German, Hebrew, Japanese, Russian and Spanish.
I'm not sure what this experience is supposed to achieve, but it's not going to teach babies language. Research indicates that babies learn language by listening to, interacting with, and following the gaze of live human beings—-not talking televisions (Kuhl 2005).
Then there are misconceptions and folk beliefs—-like the idea that praising kids for their intelligence will raise self-esteem and improve their academic performance.
An impressive series of experiments suggests that the opposite is true.Praising kids for being smart tends to make them act dumb.
Even more interesting--at least to me--is the discovery that what you and your kids believe about intelligence can hamper the learning process.
People who believe that intelligence is a fixed, unchanging trait are less likely to learn from their mistakes and less likely to succeed in school.
Moreover, experiments suggest that your child's awareness of social stereotypes about intelligence and achievement (e.g., "girls have stronger language skills," or "Asian kids are math prodigies") can undermine his academic performance.
So here I present my guide to the "good bets"—evidence-based information about the ways that parents can nurture their children's intelligence. If you don't see a topic of interest, let me know. And check back later—-I will be adding more articles over time.
Breastfeeding and IQBreastfeeding boosts a child's IQ by about 7 points-—if, like 90% of the population, he carries the FADS2 gene (Caspi et al 2007).FADS2 controls the metabolism of fatty acids, and researchers suspect that that breast milk enhances IQ because it contains long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (DHA and AA) required for neurons to communicate effectively.
Exercise and intelligenceIt's both intriguing and unexpected: Aerobic exercise stimulates brain growth and enhances our ability to learn. Studies also suggest that exercise helps kids focus attention in school. But there's a catch: exercise must be voluntary. Animal studies suggest that involuntary exercise doesn't yield the same benefits.Click here for the whole story.
The cognitive benefits of playFree play promotes better learning, memory, and growth of the cerebral cortex. It also enhances the development of language, spatial intelligence and mathematical skills. For more information, see this article on the cognitive benefits of play.
Working memory: The new IQ?New research indicates that working memory capacity--that mental notepad that we use to think thoughts and solve problems--is a better predictor of school achievement than IQ. Read more about working memory and the evidence that you can improve your child's working memory skills with training. .
Hand gestures free up working memory and help kids learn
And here's an unlikely bit of news: It turns out gesturing with your hands improves your ability to remember and learn.
Cognitive psychologist Susan Goldin-Meadow and her colleagues have conducted a series of experiments showing that kids are more likely to remember words, events, and even math lessons when they gesture with their hands.
For the details, see this article on the science of gestures.
Secure attachments and intelligenceResearchers have noted a correlation between child IQ scores and attachment status. For instance, one study of 36 middle-class mothers and their three-year-olds found that securely-attached children scored 12 points higher on the Stanford-Binet intelligence test than did insecurely attached children (Crandell and Hobson 1999).What's responsible for this correlation? It's possible that more intelligent children have an easier time forming secure attachments. For instance, more intelligent kids are probably better at interpreting their parents' behavior and selecting the most appropriate response (Waters and Valenzuela 1999).
But there is also experimental evidence suggesting that responsive parenting—which promotes secure attachments—contributes to higher IQ.
In these experiments, some mothers were randomly assigned to receive training in responsive parenting techniques. The infants of trained mothers showed greater growth in cognitive skills than did the infants of control moms (Landry et al 2003; 2006).
Mindsets for failure: Beliefs that hold your child back
Does your child believe that intelligence is a fixed trait?Fascinating experiments indicate that what we believe about intelligence can impede our ability to learn.People who believe that intelligence is a fixed, stable trait are more likely to avoid challenges. They are also less likely to learn from their mistakes--and the difference shows up in bran scans. Read more about this phenomenon and how it affects kids.
Does your child believe that "people like me" don't do well academically?If so, her beliefs might be undermining her performance in school. Sound like politically correct propaganda? There is actually a lot of solid experimental evidence confirming the existence of "stereotype threat."Learn more about this research and what you can do to counteract its effects.
How praise can undermine your child's capacity to learnPraise can be a great motivator. But it can also make kids focus on the wrong goals. Research shows that the wrong kinds of praise can actually undermine motivation and leave kids feeling helpless when they fail. For more information, see this article about the perils of praising kids for being smart.
Sleep and intelligenceSleep and learningThere is a convincing body of evidence to suggest that we are more likely to retain what we've learned—-and more likely to achieve new insights—if we go to sleep shortly after our studies (Gais et al 2006; Wagner et al 2004).
People don't need to sleep all night for the effect to work. Naps as short as 60 minutes are as effective—-as long as sleepers experience both REM and slow-wave, "deep" sleep (Mednick et al 2003).
The effect has been demonstrated on kids as well as adults (Backhaus et al 2008). So it seems to make sense for kids to schedule their studies before naps and bedtime. Unfortunately, institutionalized learning doesn't make room for study-naps! It would appear that home-schoolers-—and other kids with flexible academic schedules—-are at a distinct advantage.
Sleep and cognitive development
It's also possible that chronic sleep restriction has a more lasting effect on cognitive performance.
In a study tracking Canadian kids from age 2.5 to 6 years, researchers found that kids who were poor sleepers as toddlers performed more poorly on neurodevelopmental tests when they were 6 years old (Touchette et al 2007).
This was true even for kids whose sleep improved after age 3. The researchers speculate that there may be a "critical period" in early childhood, when the effects of sleep restriction are especially harmful (Touchette et al 2007).
Math, logic, and critical thinkingStanislaus Dehaene is a cognitive scientist and expert on the mathematical brain.He argues that many kids have poor math skills because they are discouraged from developing an intuitive sense of number.
For more information, check out this article about the"number sense."
In addition, see this article about the way that some board games can help preschoolers develop their math skills.
And what about logic? Experimental studies suggest that explicit instruction in critical thinking--including lessons in basic logic, hypothesis testing, and scientific reasoning--can raise a child's IQ.
Unfortunately, such lessons are not yet a common part of most high school--let alone middle school curricula. Even worse, I suspect that the media and other influences are training our kids to think with blinders on. To see what I mean, read this article on critical thinking in children.
Music and intelligenceThe "Mozart Effect" hasn't been totally discredited. However, it's perhaps better labeled the "pleasurable experience effect." That's because just about any kind of music—-or relaxing form of entertainment—-may temporarily boost certain types of cognitive performance. Listening to music might also stimulate a temporary boost in creativity. For more information, check out this article on the Mozart effect.
The Mozart effect is about merely listening to music. But what about making music?It turns out that music training reshapes the brain. It may even raise the IQ. Read more about music training and intelligence.
Free choiceKids show greater motivation and perform better when they get to choose what they do (Iyengar and Lepper 1999).Well—that's true for some American kids, anyway. It turns out that the effect is culture-specific. One study compared Anglo-American and Asian American kids. While the Anglo-Americans preferred tasks they had chosen for themselves, the Asian Americans showed more motivation when their choices were made for them by trusted authority figures or peers (Iyengar and Lepper 1999).
The upshot? There may be no "one size fits all" approach to classroom learning. Some kids may thrive when teachers give them choices. Others might find this approach to be disconcerting.
Toys that boost cognitive skillsAlthough there is evidence that action video games improve spatial skills (see below), some of the most important developmental toys are the most old-fashioned—-toys that permit kids to exercise their creativity and to explore cause-and-effect relations in the physical world.For instance, toy blocks may be among the best developmental toys around. Research suggests that block play enhances spatial skills, math skills, problem-solving ability, and verbal skills.
Video game playing can enhance spatial skillsSpatial skills are important for math and engineering, and males tend to do better than females on spatial tasks.But research suggests that people of both sexes can improve their spatial skills by playing action-oriented video games.
In one recent experiment, people were assigned to play either an action video game or a non-action, control video game.
After folks had accumulated 10 hours of practice time, those who played the action video game substantially improved their spatial attention and their capacity for spatial rotation--i.e., rotating three dimensional shapes in the mind's eye. Both males and females benefited, but females made greater gains (Feng et al 2007).
Other experiments show that people can improve their ability to count moving objects by playing action video games (Green and Bavelier 2006).Too much of a good thing?
This news will no doubt delight the avid gamers in your household. But there is a (rather obvious) downside to gaming: Kids who play video games tend to spend less time doing other activities. In one survey of American kids aged 10-19, those who played video games spent 30% less time reading and 34% less time doing homework. So it appears that, like most things, video games are best used in moderation.

THE North Queensland Cowboys may have lost five players to State of Origin duties, but that won't stop them against the St George Illawarra Dragons in Saturday night's NRL clash at WIN Stadium.
That's the opinion of Punters Show Sports Podcast co-host Matt Taylor, who has identified a Cowboys fixture as his best betting match of the round for the third straight week.
A fortnight ago Taylor tipped Melbourne Storm to overcome North Queensland at $2.87 (15-14) before telling punters the Cowboys should overcome the Brisbane Broncos at $1.75 last week (19-18).
TopBetta has a host of tournaments available to sports fans this weekend, plus the Brisbane Winter Racing Carnival $250k tournament! Sign up here!
The margins may have been narrow but after both plays saluted, he has once again suggested the Cowboys represent the best betting proposition of the week in round 12.
Despite missing Johnathan Thurston, Matt Scott, James Tamou, Michael Morgan and Justin O'Neill, Taylor says the $2.15 available (Thursday) for North Queensland to beat St George is simply too good to pass up.
Hear his argument for the Cowboys in this week's Sports Podcast, where he was joined by regular co-host Jake Henson and Melbourne Punters Show star Anthony Jupp to talk all things AFL, NRL, NBA, football and more.
(Skip to 19 minutes into the podcast for the NRL discussion.)
