I used to take it as a given that you had to accept the rulebook's art direction and descriptions as what your campaign looked like. 3e's dungeonpunkery helped me shake that assumption, but getting into OD&D really trashed it. I just can't work with these guys:
Okay, maybe I could work with beardy elves, but as the Goblin Defense Fund points out, everyone wore a beard back in those days. I think Barbarians were the only dudes who went about clean-shaven. But what is the deal with that orc? He looks like a mangy, scar-faced mutant. I suppose he would work well in a post-apocalyptic game, with orcs and elves and whatnot all as after-the-bomb mutants.
More importantly, for OD&D there is no art for a lot of the monsters in the core rules. What the heck does an ogre or goblin look like? With a handful of poor art and nothing for a lot of monsters, I decided just to start with a clean slate. Sure, it would be easier to just use the later D&D versions of these monsters, but the whole point of the Cinder campaign is to do my own thing, basically acting as if I had OD&D as a kid and needed to do everything from scratch. Here's what I'm working with right now:
This particular Green Goblin is from a great little article here.
Yes, all the goblins tend to dress like that. This lass is back from a long night at the moonbeam farm.
Hobgoblins are basically Star Trek Andorians with polearms. Because Andorians are cool, that's why. It was some loopy medieval-type scholar who decided that the goblin and hobgoblin species were related. That's how the two races got their Common Tongue names. Like most loopy medieval-type scholars, the dude had no idea what he was talking about. But the names stuck. Goblins are actually related to orcs (see below) and dopplegangers (Skrulls).
There's a throwaway line in the original Chainmail fantasy section about how orcs are "basically overgrown goblins". I took that idea and ran with it. Orcs are the result of alchemically and magically induced gigantism. The Sauron type in the campaign bioengineered orcs as a warrior race, starting with standard goblins. The number of orcs has grown to the point where the setting Big Bad no longer has control over all of them, but they still stick to the aggressive behaviors they were bred to produce. The orcish word for "peace" literally translates as "rest between battles".
That's Hector the Halfling from the old Dungeons & Dragons cartoon, the only halfling to appear in the series as far as I can tell. What can I say, other than I just like the look? It's different from the standard look for the race, but not too radical a departure. And if you played D&D as a kid but hadn't read any Tolkien, you might not have much else to work with. (Though the 'tiny elves' version in Moldvay Basic is a pretty cool halfling.)
There's at least two cultural groups of halfings in the Cinder campaign. The standard pastoral halflings dress like ol' Hector up there. The others are wandering merchant types who dress like jawas (big ups to S. John Ross for smooshing hobbits and jawa into one 'hobling' race in Encounter Critical). Since the end of the Age of Robodroids, those halflings use gypsy wagons on elephants for transport.
If anyone finds this interesting, maybe I'll talk a little bit more about this stuff tomorrow. I'm kicking around two different takes on elves and maybe some reader feedback would help me sort it out.

11th Hour Canine Rescue NY, Inc. 11th Hour Canine Rescue NY, Inc.
Here's a sample of our volunteer opportunities:VIEW AS
Mission Statement
Approximately 7 million pets will die this year in shelters across the US. Some die humanely with lethal injection, some will be thrown into a gas chamber and die a slow, frightening death, some will be shot, or beaten. They will die with a feeling of abandonment, lonesomeness, and fear. Yet, these dogs are real, they are living... breathing... beings that crave love, companionship, and trust, while offering the same in return. They do feel pain, hunger and sadness and we do what we do because we want to make a difference. If we can bring comfort to just one, we will. If we can save just one life, we will. The stories we read and each dog's story is heart-wrenching, the numbers of those we can't help are overwhelming, and everyday we are haunted by the faces of those we can't save.We cannot stop. We will not stop, until all of the cages are empty.
11th Hour Canine Rescue NY is made up of dedicated individuals who believe that innocent pets deserve love and a place to live where they are honored and cared for. No dog deserves to die simply because it does not have a home. We rescue dogs at their 11th Hour--when they are scheduled to be put to death by shelters that can no longer care for them. We give the dogs all the medical attention they require, a place to live, and through our adoption services, a second chance at a happy and fulfilled life. We are affiliated with Eleventh Hour Rescue in Rockaway, NJ and many other like-minded animal groups throughout the United States and Spain.
We are a foster based dog rescue who pulls dogs off of euthansia lists. Since we do not have a facility, our dogs are living with families until we can find them their perfect forever home. We rely soley on our fundraising efforts to support our rescue and have many different fundraisers through out the year.

Mighty Goods: Mother's Day Gifts!
Mom's Day is Sunday, y'all. I have a bunch of great picks up on Mighty Goods, but order soon, or no milk and cookies for you after school.
7 Responses to "Mighty Goods: Mother's Day Gifts!"
Rachel Says:
Great guide — stylish and appealing as ever. Mighty Goods always comes through with the pretty.
Can I offer up another suggestion for Mother's Day? Some friends and I are asking folks to forgo (or, um, supplement!) presents for mom and instead make a donation of diapers, wipes, or hygiene supplies to moms who are seriously in need of these things. Help A Mother Out (dot org)!
Jessica Says:
Don't take this wrong, but I had the weirdest dream about you last night. We were in San Francisco (I live in Sacramento, so I'm familiar with the City) and your husband was there plus two of your female friends and their husbands, and you guys were trying to set me up with a divorced redheaded guy with a 7-year-old daughter. You were all irritated that you thought I was in a relationship and then found out I wasn't and figured you all could have been setting me up this whole time. It was a really interesting and enjoyable dream. We all had a great time going out, hanging out, touring around. So, thanks for that, person I've never met!
ShannonO.P. Says:
Love, love, love all of the gift guides. Just finished perusing mighty goods and mighty junior (as I do periodically) and I'm still stumped!! Maybe you can help?? What do we get for our goddaughter's christening?? We're in our late 20's and the father of the baby girl and my husband have been best friends for 15 years. Any ideas???? We're at a loss and don't want to end up getting something cheesy…
Maggeh Says:
Jessica, if I run into a redhead with a seven year old, I know who to call.
ShannonO.P. I think traditionally, you'd give her something religious because part of your duties as godparents are to help guide her religious instruction. I'd go with a really beautiful bible, or a very simple gold cross that will fit her when she's older, or a pass-downable Noah's Ark Playset if you want something more age appropriate. You could also go on Etsy and get her a beautifully handmade stuffed lamb, or a creche that she could pass down to her kids.
ohbrooke Says:
Just bought your book today on Amazon, and someone sent me the link to your blog afterward. Small world – and can't wait to read your book!
Jim @ CoolStuffForDads.com Says:
Cool gift ideas! Good stuff here!! Happy Mother's Day to all the Mom's out there!!!
ShannonO.P. Says:
Thanks Maggie!! Great ideas to start with :)

This afternoon after returning from Bendover after a terrible weekend of losing over 60$ to the extremely tight slots, I sat in my dorm room and decided to record some station IDs.
The results are three sports stations that almost never ID, and when they do, they are tricky, because 2 out of 3 are ESPN.
are the new IDs recorded from my new DX Dorm.
Note: There is not as much interference this year as previous years in the dorms. I conclude this is because I am on the third floor and the radio is fairly close to the window. Plus, I have less stuff this year, and am on the end of the hall right next to the outer wall.
I forgot what GR IDs are new, but check them out as well.
Along with the updates described on the main ubstudios page, I also plan on fixing GR and LARDX to bring them up to the new DXHTML Standards, which the SLC page is based off of. It basically means that the pages need to look cleaner and less jumbled.
I'll likely have a show on KUTE this semester as well, I want to do an Art Hess kind of show on Thursday nights from 8-10. That way, you stus can call in and report sightings of milo butts, etc.

Guide Notes: goods exported for processing and subsequently returned
It is becoming increasing common for fabric to be sent to countries such as Morocco to be made up into garments and returned to the EU, very often without any change in ownership of the materials. An EUR1 / EUR-MED is obtained for the exported fabric and the overseas authority issues an EUR1 / EUR-MED for the garments on the basis that the fabric was of EU origin. Clearly if the EUR1 / EUR-MED for the fabric is invalid then the EUR1 / EUR-MED for the garments is also likely to be invalid and duty will almost certainly be due.
Audit officers may come across situations where UK issued EUR1 / EUR-MEDs are either not supported by evidence or are clearly invalid because the fabric has been imported from a non-qualifying third country. They should issue duty demands where there is positive evidence that the fabric does not qualify and the import entries for the garments are more than two years old (and less than the three year time limit laid down in the Community Customs Code for the notification of customs debts). In other circumstances they should not issue duty demands at this stage. In all cases the officer should take copies or details of all the EUR1s at issue and send them to the Tariff Preference UoE with a brief covering report. The UoE will write to the overseas authority explaining that we are withdrawing the specified EUR1 / EUR-MEDs issued by us and asking whether this will invalidate EUR1 / EUR-MEDs issued by them. The withdrawal of specified EUR1s by the overseas authority will provide a sound basis for duty demands.
Legal advice is that we are likely to have some difficulty at Tribunal where the overseas authority has not withdrawn certificates issued by them. The difficulty would be somewhat reduced where we had positive proof that the fabric did not qualify (rather than just lack of evidence to support EU origin) but we should still always approach the overseas authority.

SAO PAULO, Jan 31 (Reuters) - Banco Santander Brasil SA's Chief Financial Officer Angel Santodomingo Martell told analysts during a conference call on Wednesday that despite the fast pace of credit growth, the bank sees no deterioration of the quality of its loan portfolio.
Santander Brasil's loan book grew more than 6 percent in 2017. In the same conference call, Sergio Rial, chief executive of the bank in the country, said that it plans to continue growing its loan book. (Reporting by Carolina Mandl Editing by Chizu Nomiyama)

A friend just gave me a big bunch of fresh sage - way more than I need for my turkey and stuffing. I find sage doesn't last long in the fridge and I hate to let it go to waste, so question: can I freeze the fresh leaves and if so, just in a ziploc or is there some better method? (Ironically, I'm not even a big sage fan, but I'm thinking of making butternut squash ravioli for a holiday party next month, which is great with brown butter and sage.)
It doesn't freeze well--turns quite black. Drying would be a better option. Or make chicken saltimbocca: on a thin chicken cutlet lay a sage leaf or two and a thin slice of prosciutto. Dip in flour and then egg. Saute in hot oil.
Yes you can freeze them. Rinse and pat or air dry, then freeze. I'm also thinking a sage simple syrup could be turned into a delicious holiday drink somehow.
I've never frozen it, but I've read that it can be done, and that freezing intensifies the flavor. Wash, pat dry, freeze single leaves on a baking sheet until hard, then put them in a zipper bag and they're good for a year.
I dry my sage by hanging small branches upside-down until they're dry and leathery-crisp. I store a few whole leaves in paper bags and use these for garnish. I hand-rub the remaining leaves between my palms and store the sage fluff in a pint canning jar. It lasts until the plants come back in the spring, about six months. It'll probably last longer, but I toss the old stuff as soon as the fresh leaves start growing.
Fry the leafs to make chips. They are great for dipping in salsa.
Regarding sage simple syrup, I concocted a recipe for Edible Rhody last fall that used that very ingredient, in an Apple Sage Old Fashioned:
I'm in sympathy because someone with the best of intentions hacked down all the beautiful sage in the community garden---before Thanksgiving! He handed me a whole bunch which I tied up and have hanging outside. Still, it's not going to be as good. And yes, frying it in olive oil is a terrific idea; not just for chips or dips, but throw it on a pizza too.
Thanks for all the answers! Yes, I'd considered drying the sage (and probably will do with some of it,) but was thinking more about saving the leaves in a 'fresh' state - think I'll give freezing some a whirl too. Love the saltimbocca suggestion - had totally forgotten about that. Not to date myself, but it's one of those classic old school dishes I recall from 'fancy' Italian restaurants (i.e. not everything was red ;-) when I was a kid. Like I said, sage isn't really my favorite herb, but with some frozen and some dried on hand, at least I can use it up gradually.
I've frozen sage in ice cubes trays filled with water. The leaves kept floating to the top but I kept pushing them down as they froze. Eventually the were submerged under the ice and kept their nice green color. Put the cubes in plastic bags once frozen and thaw as needed!
Cool idea, Madame Sel...I just may give that one a go. (Not that it matters since you defrost them before using, but it sounds like the cubes must look pretty too - and what can I say? I'm a very visual girl ;-)
If you have the stems and not just leaves, put the bunch(es) in some water. I've had a few sprigs in a vase on my sill for weeks!

Here we have the proper re release of Burning Bethlehem first full album, it was first out last year by them selves but now the new started Desolate Productions took them under their black wings and made it availible to a greater scale of listeners.
As one starts to dig into this album one gets surrounded by mainly two winds from the good old times, one from the early American 80´s trash/death metal and the other from the nordic second wave and of course that is not a bad thing.
In both mid tempo and faster blastings the raw produced songs takes off after another, it has a quite dry sandy sound to its primitive atmosphere and it works nicely.
The signing has this harsh ghasting witchy tone to it which blends in just as it should.... all in all this is a straight traditional black metal album with old whorshippings so dont excpect any Deathspell Omega or the alikes....no advance twist & turns here just straight for the church! hehe
But the first listening for me was like "ahh...this sounds like it could be good..." but after like 4-5 songs i drifted away in other thoughts, thats not a good verdict i thought... but after the thirds listen many melodies and parts of songs suddenly stood out and surprised me in a positive way, so in other words it grows as you spin it a few times. ;)
As this album shows energy and quality i think BB has their best still to give so if they will continue on this satanic road they will churn out some sweet demonic blisterings !!
My three song picks would be 2, 5, 8
Track list:
1. Intro instrumental
2. To The Grave (i cant help to think of Necrocurse when i hear the singing melodies and lyrics)
3. The Unholy Path To Hell
4. Behold The Baphomet
5. The Lake Of Eternal Fire
6. Into The Satanic Void
7. To Walk The Shadows
8. Unholy Rites
9. Black Ritual (demo version) Bonus track

Fraser Fyvie is set to miss Hibs' Europa League clash with Brondby on Thursday due to the knee injury that ruled him out of last week's first leg.
The midfielder has been struggling to fully shake off the effects of the anterior knee ligament damage which sidelined him from the start of February until April and caused him to sit out the League Cup final four months ago.
Although he returned to action for the closing month and a half of last season, Fyvie continued to be niggled by the problem and it has persisted into pre-season, flaring up again before last Thursday's clash with the Danes.
Hibs' medical staff are now eager to get to the bottom of the issue and ensure it doesn't continue to plague him into the upcoming season. It remains to be seen how long Fyvie will be sidelined, but it is almost certain that the 23-year-old former Aberdeen and Wigan Athletic midfielder will play no part in Copenhagen on Thursday as Hibs bid to overturn a 1-0 deficit and set up a glamorous third qualifying round showdown with Bundesliga side Hertha Berlin.
Neil Lennon's squad are due to fly from Edinburgh to the Danish capital tomorrow morning. One man who could be included in the travelling party is defender Jordon Forster, who stepped up his bid for full fitness following a minor hamstring strain when he scored for a Hibs XI in an 8-1 friendly win at Coldstream on Saturday.

Current Law Students / Civil Procedure - Amended Pleadings« on: January 20, 2013, 10:29:21 PM »
In my civil procedure class, we have just finished our discussion on amended pleadings, and the "relation back" provision has given me some trouble. For example, is A sues B for breach of contract, but then 3 years later wants to sue for a negligence claim, what would be the process of analyzing this issue? Relation back is governed by Rule 15(c), but would you also need to consider Rule 15(a) in this analysis?

Walter Brueggemann's writing about preaching does for the preacher what he suggests the preacher should be doing for the congregation. This is truly poetic, visionary, prophetic writing construing the preacher as a wielder of words and spinner of worlds potently prophesying. At times his vision might sound unrealistic, too fantastical for the mundane reality of Sunday by Sunday sermonising. But that's the point. Here is inspiration, here are words to thrill, an evocation of the possibilities of the sermon daring the preacher to believe. Thanks Walt.
If you get to preach but haven't read it, do yourself favour, treat yourself. If you have read it, do yourself a flavour, remind yourself. Here's how he ends his intro, wrapping up, or rather unwrapping still further, what he's had to say about the sermon as a four way coming together of text, people, preacher and eye popping Holy Spirit.
The meeting involves this old text, the spent congregation believing but impoverished, the artist of new possibility, the disclosure. The Prince of Darkness tries frantically to keep the world closed so that we can be administered. The Prince has such powerful allies in this age. Against such enormous odds, however, there is the working of this feeble inscrutable, unshackled moment of the sermon. Sometimes the Prince will win the day and there is no new thing uttered or heard. Sometimes, however, the sermon will have its say and the truth looks large - larger than the text or the voice or the folk had any reason to expect. When that happens, the world is set loose toward healing. The sermon for such a time shames the Prince and we become yet again more nearly human. The Author of the text laughs in delight, the way that Author has laughed only at creation and at Easter but laughs again when the sermon carries the day against the prose of the Dark Prince who wants no new poetry in the region he things he governs. Where the poetry is sounded the Prince knows a little of the territory has been lost to its true Ruler. The newly claimed territory becomes a new home of freedom, justice, peace, and abiding joy. This happens when the poet comes, when the poet speaks, when the preacher comes as poet.

For the past few months I have argued that a question mark should hang over the continued existence of the Youth Justice Board. There may yet be a downside to its abolition, announced in the quango cull. But I am not in mourning and doubt I will be.
The YJB was established by the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 and legislation will be required to redistribute its functions. These are mostly advisory, resulting from oversight of the local authority youth offending teams (YOTs), which also receive a portion of their funds through the YJB. However in 2000, commissioning of custodial provision for children and young people was transferred to the board from the Home Office and today almost two-thirds of the YJB's budget goes on the cost of custody.
The principal justification for non-departmental public bodies such as the YJB is their expertise and independence. But independence is a state of mind not encouraged by financial dependency on the sponsoring department and, as I learned to my cost when I led the organisation, carrying out one's statutory duty to advise ministers on the operational consequences of their policies is seldom welcomed.
I resigned because New Labour's policies were resulting in significant rises in the number of children and young people being criminalised and incarcerated. Both these profoundly damaging trends have since been sharply reversed and could be taken much further, a prospect that will appeal to ministers looking for savings, and it will also achieve better youth crime prevention outcomes. Progress will be made most rapidly if ministers and civil servants are directly at the helm.
What should be done? First, the Ministry of Justice (MoJ), Home Office and Department for Education should jointly ensure that there is more out-of-court diversion of young offenders accompanied by interventions of a supportive nature, based on the lessons of the Scottish children's hearings system.
Use of restorative justice should be part of this strategy as a first step for most child offenders, as in Northern Ireland. The forthcoming sentencing green paper should include proposals to reverse the provisions of the Criminal Justice Act 1994 that extended the powers of the courts to incarcerate young offenders and for longer.
Finally, the MoJ and Department of Communities and Local Government should devise a scheme whereby local authorities bear part or all the costs of children from their patch placed in custody – they need to be incentivised to invest in community-based preventive initiatives. In the case of Wales, all the YJB's functions should be transferred to the assembly, which already has responsibility for all other children's services.
Brave ministers will take further steps. The MoJ needs to think more creatively about what "taking young offenders out of circulation" means in practice. A custodial sentence shouldn't generally mean consigning young people to large, closed, distant, young offender institutions run by the Prison Service. The age of criminal responsibility will ideally be raised to at least 12. If ministers flinch from this they should ensure that serious child offenders are always dealt with in youth courts.
If ministers are courageous then the YJB's abolition could be part of a radical, positive change of policy direction.

Cloudera and Membase unveil NoSQL togetherness
Hyper-scale analytics
Cloudera is deepening its relationship with NoSQL partner Membase to jointly attack customers running the open-source implementation of Google's MapReduce.
Membase, until recently called NorthScale, has announced software and services to help customers running the MapReducesque Hadoop with its key-value database, called Membase Server. Cloudera is the commercial venture trying to sell services in support of Hadoop.
The start-up has announced the NodeCode module to stream data from its key-value database store Membase Server to Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop (CDH) in real-time, along with a batch-load utility based on Sqoop to transfer data between Membase and CDH.
Membase said it has also devised a program to sell Membase and Hadoop together based on specific customer use cases. Those cases are advertising, offer and content targeting, log and event stream capture and analysis, and social gaming.
Illustrating the fact that Cloudera and Membase engage on joint customers, Membase announced AOL Advertising and ShareThis have built what it called advanced ads targeting systems to crunch into user profiles large volumes of event information tied to users via cookies.
ShareThis is the service behind the button on 850,000 web sites that lets users share content via email and social networks. AOL, meanwhile, uses Hadoop for ETL, style processing, and to generate stats for behavioral analysis and targeting.
The expansion comes after Cloudera chief executive Mike Olson, a database-industry veteran and former chief of Berkeley DB specialist Sleepycat Software, joined Membase's board earlier this year. Venture fund Accel Partners is an investor in both companies.
Olson said in a statement that integration between CDH and Membase would result in a "highly optimized data delivery system with virtually no lag time."
"This real-time processing capability is essential for any solution on which split decisions must be made, including ad targeting and social gaming," he said.
Membase blogged that profiles would be fed into Membase and served with sub-millisecond latency. This will combine high-powered analytics with raw real-time performance, the company said. ®

Arab Countries Meet to Tackle Somali Pirate Threat
Stack, Liam, The Christian Science Monitor
This week's capture of a Saudi supertanker by Somali pirates sent a chill through international shipping and turned up the heat on politicians and businessmen across the region.
On Thursday, diplomats from Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Sudan, Yemen, and the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia met in a closed-door meeting in Cairo to share their concerns over the possible effects of piracy on much-needed shipping and trade.
But government officials and independent analysts agree that, without efforts by North American, European, and Asian countries, there is little that the Arab states that border the Red Sea can do to defend their economic interests from the lawlessness leaking out of Somalia.
"To resolve the problem we are under no illusions that the Red Sea countries can solve a problem that exists outside the Red Sea," says Hossam Zaki, a spokesman for the Egyptian Foreign Ministry.
He says the meeting was meant to "coordinate thinking and ideas" among the countries of the Red Sea region. Options for future action were said to include setting up a piracy monitoring center, joint maneuvers by Arab navies, and warning systems, although few specifics were immediately available.
Firms consider rerouting ships
Earlier in the day, major international shipping firm A.P. Moller- Maersk announced plans to reroute some of its fleet around South Africa's Cape of Good Hope to avoid the possibility of pirate attacks in the Gulf of Aden. Norway's Frontline, another large shipping company, said it was "definitely considering," doing the same.
"We haven't done it yet. We are definitely considering it. It's possible," Martin Jensen told Reuters. "Of course, like many in the industry, we are instructing all our ships to call as close to Yemen and as far from Somalia as possible."
Last weekend's hijacking of the Sirius Star tanker jolted Arab leaders and global shipping firms to attention. The ship was travelling from Saudi Arabia to the United States via the Cape of Good Hope when it was seized about 450 nautical miles off the coast of Kenya. It was carrying a full load of oil, roughly equivalent to one-fourth of Saudi Arabia's daily output, worth $100 million.
Saudi foreign minister Prince Saud al-Faisal told reporters in Rome on Wednesday that the ship's owners, Dubai-based Vela International Marine Ltd., were talking to the pirates, who have demanded $25 million in ransom.
Arab countries concerned about trade
Thursday's closed-door meeting in Cairo underscores the degree to which the Arab states of the Red Sea region feel threatened by the increasingly daring pirate attacks and their increasingly valuable targets. …

As many people out there, I have found this very different. A confession app approved by the pope himself. But not surprising. Since everything is going digital, why not religion? Therefore the real question is will it work? In my opinion it would work for the younger generation and not for the older. The reason is that the older generations would rather keep it the way they grew up and they wouldn't want to change a thing. But that's just speculation. Whats your opinion?
Here is a link to a short article about the app.

In the oil and gas industry, well drilling is performed with a drilling rig. In this stage, the rocks are drilled by the rotation and force applied on a drill bit located in the extremity of a drill string, which consists of collars (thick walled pipe) and drill pipes (thin walled pipes). During this process, cuts are formed and removed through the injection of drilling fluid or mud, to allow for the drainage of debris through the annulus of the well.
The main components of a rig are listed bellow:
The derrick supports the entire load and enables the setup of the rest of the equipment.
The crown block supports the entire load that is transmitted to it through the drilling line (steel line).
The traveling block is suspended by the drilling line, at the bottom there is a loop that holds the hook. Along with the crown block, the traveling block makes up a pulley system that moves the drill string, allowing it to descend and ascend within the well.
The drill string is suspended within the hook by a swivel, which allows for the injection of the drilling fluid through the interior of the string, it returns through the annulus by making perforated cuts. The traveling block-hook system is moved by the energy from the draw works, which winds and unwinds the drilling line, moving the drill string.
The rotary table transmits rotation to the drilling line while the mud pump supplies enough energy for the drilling fluid to circulate and transport the cutting out of the well through the annulus.
In Brazil, the drilling of oil and gas wells began onshore in the 1930s, and the first discovery took place in 1939, in Lobato, Bahia. Offshore drilling began in 1968, and the first discovery of oil in the coast of Brazil occurred the following year, in the Guaricema field, in Sergipe. In the mid-1970s the first oil discovery in the Campos basin took place, leading to the expansion of drilling activities in this basin and to a great number of discoveries. The Santos basin is a major highlight in the development of Brazilian petroliferous basins, because enormous pre-salt section discoveries were made in it.
In order to perform drillings in ultra deep waters and under high-pressure conditions it is necessary to use the appropriate drilling rigs. The oil industry offers many different drilling rig options, which are selected according to the drilling objective, considering characteristics such as the location, the water depth that needs to be perforated, the final depth of the well, the production volume, and the characteristics of the expected oil.
Drilling rigs can be fixed or floating. To learn more about them, click here.
There are four different types of oil wells: vertical, horizontal, directional, and multilateral, and the decision about what type should be drilled depends on the cost analysis of the drilling, the location, and the reservoir's characteristics, as well as the location of the available rig.
Vertical wells are drilled vertically into the area of interest. QGEP produces gas in the Manati field through this kind of well.
Directional wells are drilled when the objective is to reach an area of interest that is not found vertically in the direction of the wellhead.
Horizontal wells are drilled when the objective is not only to reach an area that is not found vertically in the direction of the wellhead, but also to maximize the contact with the reservoir and, consequently, increase the well's productivity. These are the types of wells used for oil production in the Atlanta field.
For a same project, vertical wells are the least expensive while the horizontal wells are the most expensive, this cost is not the determining factor in the decision because the well's productivity may vary enormously depending on the chosen methodology. Multilateral wells are used when the objective is to produce several wells simultaneously, using the same wellhead. Vertical wells are more commonly used in the exploratory phase, and are also widely used in onshore production, since the drilling costs are smaller than those of offshore wells. The Manati gas production wells are vertical.
A well's drilling is divided into multiple phases. After each phase it is necessary to cover up the section in order to ensure that it is safe to proceed to the next; this process is repeated until the final objective of the well is achieved. This casing is simply a column which is smaller in diameter than that of the bit used in the drilling; its role is to isolate the well from the formations and to support it.

The rupee gained for a second straight session on Thursday as gains in other Asian currencies aided but a further rise was limited on the back of profit-taking seen in the domestic share market.
The Sensex snapped its nine-day winning streak as investors pared positions in blue-chips such as ICICI Bank after a string of record highs earlier this week, and as caution prevailed ahead of a key European Central Bank meeting.
Traders say any further monetary stimulus easing by the ECB could be a positive for Indian equities as it could bring in more foreign fund inflows. The ECB faces intense market pressure to take policy action.
Foreign fund flows into the domestic share and debt markets have been the key for the rupee. Total inflows so far in 2014 stand at $30.6 billion.
"The next move in the rupee is likely to be towards 61.50 instead of 60.00
"The very next global stress - rupee will move to 61.50," said Samir Lodha, managing director at QuantArt Market Solutions. "ECB easing won't mean much for the INR as for most Indian trades the USD continues to be the main funding currency."
The partially convertible rupee closed stronger at 60.3550/3650 versus Wednesday's close of 60.4850/4950.
Traders broadly expect the rupee to remain in a range of 60 to 61 over the next week.
Losses in the euro ahead of the ECB meeting and mild gains in the dollar versus other majors limited a further rise in the rupee.
Traders said they will also wait for the U.S. non-farm payrolls data on Friday which could also help adjust expectations about when the Federal Reserve will remove its monetary stimulus.
In the offshore non-deliverable forwards, the one-month contract was at 61.60 while the three-month was at 61.19/29.

A kingdom around Kailash
Kailash- the abode of lord Shiva. when we think of the locale the pictures of windswept valleys, and ice laden mountains devoid of any life comes to our minds.
But was it always so?
our legends speak of thousands of butha kanangal serving the gods at Kailash.
recent photographic evidence from the pilgrims who are performing the inner parikram- the short route just touching the holy hill indicates ajantha ellora shaped caves on the hill itself.
does climate change have something to do about it.
evidences are cropping up of a large scale kingdom flourishing for a thousand years around mount kailash till they were destroyed by a ladakhi army.
a kingdom seemingly straight out of an Indiana Jones movie.
european travellers of the 17th century talk of paddy fields and a cultured civilisation.
it was the Kingdom of Guge.
what have the archeologists found at Guge?.
A massive mountaintop fortress with lavishly painted interiors, surrounded by soft clay cliffs peppered with hundreds of frescoed caves pockmarking the areas that surround the 900-foot-high citadel.
A succession independent semi-feudal states , the most notable being the Kingdom of Gu-ge on the banks of the Sutlej river immediately north of the main Himalaya ruled the area.
Founded in the 9th century Gu-ge was the political and cultural focus for all western Tibet. Sited on a minor trade route linking Tibet with Kashmir and India the twin towns of Tholing and Tsaparang it thrived until the 17th century when invading forces overcame the defenses and massacred the population.
From the 1680s until the early 20th Century the region was largely deserted, with its great history and cultural treasures forgotten and undisturbed.
Guge remains historically important as the repository of an otherwise vanished artistic style and the source from which an invigorated Buddhist faith spread its light over Tibet.

Today is day 2 of the Tri-Polish Challenge hosted by Crumpet's Nail Tarts! To refresh, the colors for April are Turquoise, Pink, and Orange.
** The "turquoise" I am using for the challenge is the closest color I have to turquoise**
I thought about doing something a bit more abstract so I ended up with funky arrowheads! Surprisingly, I ran out of tape after doing my thumb and it had taken so much time already that I decided to just freehand the rest of it, so it is a bit sloppy, but I tried very hard to keep the lines as straight as I could!! My back and shoulders are still spazzing so it was tough.
- After putting on my favorite base coat, I started off with the black arrow at the base of my nail and created the arrow using a small striping brush and Sinful Colors Black On Black
- I then went and added the other black "arrows" near the middle of the nail using the same small striping brush
- Next up, I used a striping brush and China Glaze For Audrey to create the full turquoise arrows and the half arrows
- The full pink arrows and half pink arrows were made using a small striping brush and Sinful Colors Island Coral
- I made my pointer finger the accent nail, and instead of making half arrows, I just kept it as full arrows and did not add the vertical white stripe
- To finish off the look, I added the white arrows and the stripe down the nail using the striping brush and Sinful Colors Snow Me White, and then, as always, ended it all with my favorite top coat
This was hard to do after I ran out of the tape and I like how it turned out, but I think it would have been amazing if I had been able to do this look on all of the nails using the tape. No use crying over spilled polish though, right?
The overall look ended up turning out pretty cool. It has a retro/tribal look to it, don't you think?
I hope you all liked my mani and I look forward to coming up with another look for next Tuesday's Tri-Polish Challenge post!! But before that, check back soon for my next challenge mani in the 31-Day Challenge!! Leave me comments in the comments section below to let me know how I'm doing! I love getting feedback!!

A young woman was trending on social media and was reported missing. Few days later, the account of Tshepo Mokoena believed to belong to her father confirmed that Karabo's boyfriend was responsible and had killed and burnt her body.
Karabo Mokoena had been reportedly missing since April 28 and those who posted her pictures on Twitter asked that the message be spread in order to help find her.
Tshepo's post elicited message of condolences with one user saying he was a criminal lawyer and that if Mokoena needed any help he must call him.
Her father has expressed gratitude for the messages on Facebook, writing: "Thank you for the support."
One Twitter user, Mary-Jane Mphahlele, was angry at the alleged manner in which Karabo died by writing: "Karabo Mokoena was found killed by her boyfriend like many others. Next time you want to dismiss her story with 'not all men are trash', think."
Another, @phiwe_lufele wrote: "The Karabo Mokoena story is so sad because it's so common. We can't even trust the men we share our lives, our beds or our vaginas with."
Nigerian singer, Niyola, who is a friend to Karabo also shared pictures of their conversation.
If you or a loved one ever find yourself in a domestic violence situation, please call these support services line in Nigeria. This is just one of many support organizations that you can reach out to in time of need.

Good Kids
Just a quick post. Wanting to share some pics of SAK's and Anan's three kids. Mom and I stopped by to see them the weekend of the Big 12 Tournament. Mom and I were headed to see the OSU women's team play, so we were decked out in OSU garb. The E-Girl posed wearing my OSU hat. SAK convinced her to do a Pistol Pete gun symbol. That made me smile. I interrupted the Z-Man and H-Man from their work on a some big project.

I picked up my copy of this book when it came out last year. My wife read it - and loved it - immediately. It matched what she saw whenever she went to the CASH on her base in Afghanistan. I've picked up the book any number of times since then, but I could never quite bring myself to read it. I was absolutely positive that reading the book was going to hurt. I read the book today. It hurt as much as I thought it would. And now I feel forced to do something that's probably going to sound a little strange.
I don't quite know how I'm going to do this, but I'm going to try to convince you to go out, buy, and read a book that just left me feeling tired, drained, depressed, guilty, very angry, and just a little bit jealous. And no, nobody is paying me to do this, and yes, I'm totally serious. I hated the way this book made me feel, what it made me think, and the memories it brought back. But the book stirred up..... scratch that.
I was going to say that this book stirred up some strong emotions, but that's not what it did. It didn't stir up emotions. It ripped off a scab - and a scab that I really didn't know was there.
If the book wasn't as well done as this one is, it would have hurt a lot less.
In January, 2004, Heidi Squier Kraft was an active-duty Navy psychologist with two fifteen month children at home. In January, 2005, she was an Operation Iraqi Freedom veteran on her way out of the Navy. Rule Number Two is about the things that happened in between. My wife is an active-duty Army flight surgeon with two children at home, and is a veteran of both Iraq and Afghanistan. She loved the book in large part because it was written by someone with experiences that were very similar to her own. And that's exactly why this book was so hard for me to read.
Every now and then, it feels like I'm living in a Bill Cosby skit.
I'm wandering around the house, talking on the phone, when our cat Pounce decides to make his need for attention and affection known by walking up and swatting me in the back of the leg.
Before I go any farther, I should probably take a second or two to explain Pounce. Right now, we have three cats. Two of them are named Pounce. They share a single body. One of the two is absolutely the sweetest, most affectionate kitten you'll ever meet. The other is a psychotic bundle of fur that dashes off in a random direction, bouncing off the furniture, whenever it hears a loud noise, like a sneeze or a yawn. Whenever you look at the cat, it flips a coin to see who gets to run the body this time.
Anyway, the cute and fuzzy Pounce walked over and affectionately rubbed against my leg. Then it switched gears, transformed into the maniac, and attacked my ankle.
I said, "Hey, Stupid Ass! Knock it off!"
And the dog got up and walked over to see what I wanted.
It was because of my father that from the ages of seven to fifteen, I thought that my name was Jesus Christ and my brother, Russell, thought that his name was Dammit. "Dammit, will you stop all that noise?" And, "Jesus Christ, sit down!" One day, I'm out playing in the rain, and my father yelled, "Dammit will you get back in here!" I said, "Dad, I'm Jesus Christ!"
--Bill Cosby
When I was a kid, baseball was very important to me. It was very important to most of the boys growing up in my neighborhood. Almost all of the boys (and a handful of the girls) at my school signed up for Little League most years. The season started with a parade - and what kid doesn't like to be in a parade - and ended with everyone getting a trophy. It was great.
The only problem was that I wasn't very good at baseball. That wasn't much of a handicap the first couple of years, but as games got more competitive I found myself spending less time playing, and more time sitting. And sitting takes a lot of the fun out of the game. Little league went from being something I loved to something I didn't care about. But then I wound up on Mr. Preda's team.

The Registrar announces decisions and notifications to the public related to Access to Motor Vehicle Information.
Listed below are the decisions and notifications issued by the Registrar of Motor Vehicles.
- Registrar's Decision Notification 01/2018 (PDF, 17 pages) NEW April 06, 2018
- Responding to the OIPC Order F2013-06 (the "OIPC Order") the Registrar of Motor Vehicles (the "Registrar") has implemented stronger system and process approaches intended to further narrow the release of motor vehicle information, strengthen the protection of privacy and the security of the system and data, improve monitoring and auditing of the access to information, and enhance accountability for direct access clients.
- To address the OIPC Order the Registrar has already implemented a stronger monitoring and auditing process for clients having direct access to the Motor Vehicle Electronic System (MOVES). Building on the technical solution implemented in response to the OIPC Order, the RDN 01/2018 introduces a new type of direct access that is intended to provide easier and more secure direct access to different categories of Alberta Public Bodies, Law Enforcement Agencies, and other government entities.
- Specialized Business Functions (SBF) access is a new type of direct access that further narrows what information clients are able to access when using MOVES information for specific operative needs. SBF access is agreement, purpose, event, and record specific. SBF requires less training and reduces the error of interpreting complex information. SBF clients will be required to declare upfront the intended purpose and use of the information. This will allow for increased capability to control access to MOVES data and to monitor and audit the access that occurs.

Slow progress again on the monsters - my work schedule and the temp inside our place is making it a bit hard to sit down at the paint table for long...
I did get some paint onto the grinnlings.

Thank you!
These 'grinnlings' are from Reaper Miniatures - the larger chaps on the left are 'Mites', and the smaller ones are 'Gremlins'. All are grinnlings to me!

Great to see the mites in comparison. I have been working up two sets of the Bones goblins, but clearly need to get these.
My son and I have hammered out rough, early rules for MBT. I'll send ideas, docs and pics if you want.

Ettrick, I would be very interested in seeing your MBT work! I was just thinking recently about dusting this project off and getting on with it, so your info would be a great inspiration.

Updating your License Details. Quite rightly a driver is at fault if they fail to inform the DVLA in writing of these changes or if they drive around in an untaxed car.
However, what the figures do not reveal is how many people have been fined incorrectly and, even when pointing it out to this executive agency of the Department of Transport, still end up having to pay anything from £35 to £365. It would seem that a number of consumers have had a less than satisfactory experience. The tale below is just one example of a motorist ending up paying for a fine when he clearly was not in the wrong.
Another Fine Mess you've got me intoSpeaking on " You and Yours" this week, one man who moved from London to the Wirral spoke to the Radio 4 presenters about how he had sent off his V5C (the appropriate part of the car's logbook) to the DVLA when he sold his car before moving north to take up a new job. A few months later, realising he hadn't had a confirmation from them, he telephoned and was told they hadn't received his documentation. With around thousands of pieces of mail arriving at the DVLA door each day you could be forgiven for thinking that a few letters would go astray.
However our intrepid motorist was told not to worry, send a confirmation in writing with his new address and everything would be fine. This he did only to find some eight months later a letter from a debt collector, demanding £365 for non-payment of magistrate's court fine and not turning up to court to answer a summons that, you've guessed it, had been sent to his old address. Back to the DVLA who told him that it was a mix up between departments and everything was fine, until four weeks later the process started all over again. After complaining and getting nowhere he gave up and paid £35 out of court settlement – even though it was not his fault.

Kampala- Uganda (PANA) -- Save the Children, a non-profit organization working to create positive change for disadvantaged children, has urged African leaders me e ting here to recognize that investing in maternal and child health was critical t o development, including economic development, in their countries.
In a debate on maternal and child health care at the 15th Ordinary Session of th e Assembly of the African Union (AU) Monday, South African singer and UNICEF Goo d will Ambassador Yvonne Chaka Chaka called on African leaders to give prioritize m aternal and child health.
In response, Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni suggested that investments to hel p expand the economy had come before what he called "social expenditure".
However, Save the Children and several economic and health experts said basic he alth services for mothers and infants were a very smart investment in any nation s economy.
Health economists have shown that maternal mortality was a major economic drag, with one study putting the annual productivity losses at US$15 billion worldwide .
According to Save the Children's Africa advocacy advisor Chikezie Anyanwu, "Inve sting in the health of mothers and children is an investment in the development a nd future of Africa.
" Anyanwu said: "If mothers die in childbirth, they cannot be productive.
If child ren don't get a healthy start in life, research shows they won't do as well in s c hool, earn as much, or reach their full potential to support their country's dev e lopment.
" The vast majority of Africa's annual 4.
5 million newborn and child deaths and 26 5,000 maternal deaths are preventable.
Participants said key solutions were the provision of pre-natal and post-natal c are, skilled attendance at birth and very low-cost, proven preventive measures a n d treatment for major child killers like pneumonia, diarrhoea and malaria.
"It doesn't take a vast amount of resources to make a major difference.
Consider how the very poor country of Malawi has been able to dramatically reduce child d eaths in recent years," Anyanwu said, adding "It's not a matter of resources.
It ' s a matter of political will.
We urge African leaders to demonstrate that will f o r the sake of mothers, children and their countries' future.

Essentially UndecidableInstances turns the type system into a Turing-complete programming language. One direct consequence is that type checking may not terminate and, because of the halting problem, the type system is unable to tell when that happens.

Of course, I didn't personally know Adam "MCA" Yauch, but when we heard of his death today, I remembered a time from years ago when my niece was very young and playing in the playground with my sister and they bumped into Adam and his young daughter. She came home and told me how incredibly nice this Beastie Boy was and suddenly we had a whole new respect for the boys. Since then, the Beastie Boys have become a huge part of my musical life, as I married a man who can recite most every song, with perfect timing. He doesn't even have to have an album on to reference line after line. These boys had a talent that really hasn't yet been met. It seems fitting someone would have combined that with the genius of Sesame Street.

GLOUCESTER, Va., May 5 (UPI) -- A Virginia man charged, along with his wife, with killing one of their children and keeping another in a cage made a brief court appearance Wednesday.
Brian Gore, 29, asked for a court-appointed lawyer, the Newport News Daily Press reported. His wife, Shannon, 24, has retained a lawyer and was not in court.
The couple are charged with the attempted murder of a daughter found in a crib converted to a cage. While investigators say the girl is 5 or 6 years old, Gore allegedly told police she was only 2. She was naked, very thin and eating flaking pieces of her own skin when she was discovered.
Investigators found the body of a small child buried in the Gores' yard. They lived in a trailer park in Gloucester.
Both Brian and Shannon had MySpace pages, WAVY-TV, Hampton Roads, Va., reported. Hers showed a picture of a sonogram, while his showed photos of five cars.
A neighbor told WAVY people knew about their youngest child, Connor.
"Everybody that I know that knew Shannon, nobody knew that she had two other children," the neighbor said.

Round and Brown - Layla Monroe
I don't know for sure, but if I were to hazard a guess, I would say that Layla is about 65% hips. Yup, I'm going to go with that.. She's head, tits ( but you only notice those about 45 seconds after meeting her ), hips, ass, then feet. Her legs are just an amalgamation of her hips and ass working together. It's really quite stunning if you think about it.

I learned last night that I'm not a Root Beer Float fan. As a die hard Brooklynite, I guess I'm more of an Egg Cream gal. Besides, I'm an ice cream purist on principle. Given the choice, I'd always prefer to have the ice cream without the root beer.
My parents' friends served Root Beer Floats and store bought (!) red, white, and blue mini-cupcakes at their fireworks viewing party. My kids were turned off by the ice cream flavor and didn't even want to try the floats. But they had no problem inhaling the cupcakes.
To be fair, the Root Beer Floats they served were a bit unconventional -- they substituted coffee almond fudge ice cream for the classic vanilla. Also, they skipped the requisite whipped cream and maraschino cherry.
The classic recipe is as follows:
1/2 pint vanilla ice cream
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle root beer
1/2 cup whipped cream
4 maraschino cherries
Place 1 scoop of ice cream into each of two tall glasses. Pour root beer carefully over the ice cream. Add another scoop and repeat. If possible, repeat again....And again and again! Top with whipped cream and maraschino cherries.
There are other, more sophisticated variations too. Bobby Flay concoted this adult version, which calls for bourbon:
1 pint vanilla ice cream
2 bottles very cold old-fashioned root beer
Splash bourbon, optional
Freshly whipped cream
Place a few scoops of vanilla ice cream into 2 tall float glasses. Pour the root beer and bourbon, if using, over the ice cream and top with a dollop of whipped cream.
After a few of those, you're sure to be seeing fireworks!

Hello All,
I am taking swim instructions through the local USMS ALTS program. it is a new program where adults are given swim instructions. I am in my early 50's and just never till now. I am in the 4th week of my lessons and seem to have (mostly) overcome the fear of water =).
We are now at the part of the instructions where we are learning freestyle swim and that's where I am at a complete roadblock.
I am unable to co-ordinate my feet/legs movement with the arms. I can hold my breath and move my feet/legs and do just fine for several feet in distance but the second I start using my arms, my feet/legs stop.
Its one of those cliche's about unable to walk and chew gum at the same time, while I say that in a lighthearted joke, I am feeling very frustrated with this issue and feel that I won't be able to proceed with the next phase of the lessons where I learn how to move my head side to side and breathe.
Is this common (unable to coordinate legs and arms)?
I am open to ANY suggestions/advice/suggestions from you to help overcome this mental block.
all feedback is welcomed and appreciated.
Thank you

Not much new news to report baby-wise. I'm confused about what size it is according to the fruit/vegetable descriptions. One source says carrot, the other says mango. Quite a difference there. Skinny and pointy or big and round.
I did read an interesting tidbit that the "water" (let's just call it that to be polite) the kid is swimming in is flavored by what I eat and that the kid is drinking it. And then peeing it back out. This is getting gross pretty fast. Anyways, the water tastes like what I eat so the kid is getting used to whatever I'm eating. If I eat lots of vegetables and fruits now and not so much other stuff, the kid should like fruits and vegetables when it gets here. Sure hope so.
And...... the baby has hair! White hair because it doesn't have any pigment yet. That's ok, I already know what color its hair is likely to be since mine and Boots' hair color is so similar. A blue-eyed, dark-blonde/light-brown haired baby. The nose and ears are up in the air still. I'm just hoping the kid doesn't get one each of our ears. (Boots' lobes are connected, mine aren't.)
Check out my baby belly. I skipped the cute bump and went for the whole thing!

It's not even the crime that counts sometimes. It's that little box on an application that asks you to reveal if you have a criminal history. Checking that box can mean the difference between failure and success. We look at the nationwide movement to 'ban-the-box', and make criminal histories less of a stigma.
