Offshore Nuances: Santa Barbara's Problematic Oil Seeps
By Bill Moore
Wealthy, seriously-upscale Santa Barbara -- where homes average a million dollars -- sits at the epicenter of the second largest natural offshore oil seep on the planet. Only the Caspian Sea surpasses it.
In the national debate about opening up more of America's offshore regions to oil and gas drilling -- and setting aside the problem of carbon dioxide-induced climate change -- a sixty mile long stretch of coastline that reaches roughly from Ventura Country west north west to San Luis Obispo Country, well south of the Big Sur coast, has some 2,000 active sea floor oil seeps. According to former JPL physicist Bruce Allen, the tectonically active zone is estimated to have leaked some 800 million barrels of oil over the last 10,000 years.
Now a resident of Santa Barbara and a member of the air quality board, Allen -- who is writing a book on energy policy -- discovered during the course of his research that in the 38 years since the moratorium on oil drilling in the Santa Barbara Channel and off-shore California, an estimated 900 barrels of crude oil have leaked from the production platforms visible off the the coast. In contrast, he points out, the seeps have leaked an estimated two million barrels.
This not only represents an economic loss of some $280 million dollars at today's prices, but more importantly, it represents a serious environmental and public health problem.
Besides fouling Santa Barbara's beaches, Allen discovered a serious hydrocarbon air pollution problem. His wife works at the UC Santa Barbara campus, so he asked for air quality data for the campus and discovered that the level of airborne hydrocarbon contaminates can be as high as 10-times that of Los Angeles. He said that most Santa Barbara residents are surprised to learn that their oil problem -- and gasoline is now selling for more than $5 a gallon around town -- is a natural one, not man-made.
He also points out that when the seas in the channel are calm, it's possible to see a 50 square mile oil slick from the air as you fly into and out of the Santa Barbara airport; all of it the result of being located on an active major geological fault line that releases trapped petroleum, which has been estimated at 13 billion recoverable barrels for the Pacific Coast region back when oil was $55 a barrel.
Allen stresses that he views the crude oil fields off of Santa Barbara as a special case distinct from other fields off Florida and Alaska, and have unique issues compared to other offshore oil resources. As his book, which is currently in manuscript and nearing completion , will show, he believes that ultimately solar thermal electricity is the most promising clean, renewable energy source on the near horizon. He sees vast fields of solar collectors in the desert bringing down the cost of electric power generation to $2.50-2.75 a watt. Some of the excess solar-generated heat would be stored in molten salt that can then be used to create steam to generate electricity at night. Such plants located in the American desert southwest would then transmit their power through high voltage direct current (HVDC) power lines similar to the 800-mile long line that carries 6,500 megawatts -- equal to the output of six nuclear power plants -- from hydro dams deep in Brazil's interior to its major urban centers.
With up to an estimated $350 billion in oil royalties (at $138/barrel) at stake, Allen and his supporters are calling for an end to the California moratorium. Given the offshore oil industry's safety record over the last 38 years, his group believes the oil can be extracted safely, which will reduce in natural oil and gas seepage, resulting in environmental benefits. Gradually depleting the oil over 25 years will not only reduce the amount of seepage that is polluting the water and air off Santa Barbara and Ventura counties, but will provide the funds needed to develop the state's solar economy. Allen notes that the state is presently running a deficit and its much-touted million solar roofs and other renewable energy programs are underfunded . Potential royalties of up to 18% from the Santa Barbara fields could generate enough funds to allow the state to go largely solar electric by 2035, Allen estimates.
It is, clearly, a nuanced position for an avowed environmentalist to take at a time when the public has little patience for such subtle arguments, not when they're paying $4-5 a gallon for gasoline. Still, it certainly seems to make sense in a highly pragmatic way.
At least John McCain's staff was listening last week when they stopped in Santa Barbara for an Energy Roundtable. Whether they understood the import of this particular nuance remains to be seen.
Bruce Allen co-founded a non-profit, soscalifornia.org, along with Lad Handelman, the founder of Oceaneering International, to address the issue of oil seeps and offshore oil production in Santa Barbara County.

Beloved player, try to master at least two dribble skills. Practice them in the arena until it is possible to do them in all ways.
Once you have mastered two, you should do them not too frequently throughout the game. Do one and pass. Do the other one and pass. When you get close to the goal, shoot. Try and shoot whenever the manner is free. Don't try too hard and shoot when you think it is going to be a aim 100%. Try to shoot whenever you are able to.Free FIFA 17 coins
In FIFA 15 the finesse shot is back and better to try as opposed to regular shot without pressing any other button than B / CIRCLE.FIFA STRATEGIES
Some strategies you'll be able to use is. Fine tune your direction with the L / LS joystick. Minimal direction turning will drastically better your functionality in dribbling and passing an attacker. You should have an excellent equilibrium between passing and keeping the ball.
A nice trick I like to use is hogging the ball as long as you are able to so your adversary gets agitated. In FIFA 15 it is truly easy for noobs to shoot goals in the last minute as well as allow you to lose the match when you have done all the work.
So keep playing safe and keep passing the ball.Another thing you should care for with runners is that you simply need to use B / CIRCLE to pull or push the competitors. Most of the time referees usually do not see that and you're able to get away with it.These are some few suggestions that I had right now to give you guys, if you desire to learn more check out the website me and my cousin made to help you out a little more. We shall be starting a YouTube station where we will be telling you exactly what buttons we press on the move we've done. Videos are simpler to learn so head over to my site to buy some goodies, learn some great magic tricks and watch some nice goals. Also learn all celebrations and dominate your game in FIFA.

text: Very casual and somewhat wintry look for yesterday since the weather here in Frankfurt has been pretty terrible these past few days and yesterday I was genuinely cold while taking all these pictures. Maybe the summer has already been and gone here in Western Europe? Who knows. At any rate, this time next week I ll be in Bulgaria where it's apparently around 38 degrees...I've been looking for a denim shirt for ages and this one I'm wearing from Tommy Hilfiger is perfection. I love the studs detailing on the shoulders and the really stonewashed look of the shirt.

Thousands hit streets of London to protest and support Brexit, demand new referendum (PHOTOS, VIDEO)
Drone footage shows droves of Brexit opponents marching towards parliament on the second anniversary of the country's decision to leave EU.
Some carried EU flags, while others held placards that read "Brexit stole my future" and "We demand a vote on the final Brexit deal." They claim the decision to leave the bloc is not a done deal yet, and people must make their voices heard.
Meanwhile, a counter-protest also took place in London on Saturday, with pro-Brexit demonstrators pushing for the government to continue with its plan to leave the EU - a move which is slated for March 2019.
RT spoke to the leader of the UK Independence Party (UKIP), Gerard Batten, who said the mainstream media conveniently ignored the pro-Brexit rally.
"I've just come from a pro-Brexit march and a rally which was held outside the BBC and Sky and ITV's studios...but funnily enough, nobody came out to interview us or filmed it, as far as I know. They're not giving much publicity to the other side of the argument - the argument that says we had the referendum, we reached a decision, and now we should have left and we certainly should be leaving as soon as possible," Batton said.
He went on to address discussions surrounding a so-called "hard Brexit" and "soft Brexit," saying there is no such thing. "There is [only] leaving the European Union. And if you want to know what that looks like, all you've got to do is look at every other country in the world that isn't a member of the European Union. It's not complicated. They're [UK government] trying to make it as complicated as possible."
A recent poll carried out by Survation for ITV's 'Good Morning Britain' found that almost half of British people want a second referendum on Brexit. It suggests that a vote held today would reverse the outcome of the 2016 vote, which saw a slim majority of the country (52 percent) voicing their desire to leave the EU. (LINK )
Britain's government is also divided on whether or not to hold a new Brexit referendum, with the Conservatives and the main opposition Labour Party opposing it. The centrist Liberal Democrats, however, support a new vote.

Many applicants express relief over the fact that poor credit or low credit auto loans were introduced which made it possible for them to get cars even though they didn't have enough credit score to get approved for the loan earlier. However, the thing which surprises many is the fact that why do lenders provide finances to those people who have shown that they can't be trusted with the finances. The answer to this situation is the fact that for lenders, this brings in a new avenue which they could tap as a potential source. In the recent times, the online lending has increased the competition and the lenders are looking for new avenues to try out the finances.
Another benefit to the lenders is that the interest rate charged from these applicants is generally higher than those of other lending clients and general borrowers. This means more money for them in the long run. Another thing which is seen as a benefit by the lenders is that this gives their clients an opportunity to increase their credit score in the long run and get approved for more finances in the future which might not have been possible earlier. Hence, this acts as a win-win situation for both the applicant and the lender who can enjoy the finances and the car.

It's deep fall in the city, a hard one, the kind that forces kids to wear heavy jackets over their Halloween costumes. A short, heavyset woman hustles into the coffee shop to get out of the wind, weighed down by a heavy, unfashionable laptop bag. She hustles to the counter and orders -- French roast with cream and artificial sweetener, she's kind of blah that way -- then turns to glance around the small crowd sitting at the smattering of bistro tables around the café.
The couple she is looking for sits to her left in the darkest corner, allowing them to both hide and keep an eye on people passing outside by the large picture window, or entering the front door. They've seen the woman long before she noticed them. She is their writer, their creator, and they are intimately attuned to her movements.
The woman moves to their table, trying not to whack people with her bag, and sits down with them, the only one of the trio with her back to the room. Considering their story, she's not entirely surprised that they're cautious.
They are, however, polite. Both stand when the woman arrives, and sit when she does.
"It's good to see you again," she says. "How have you been?"
The man is handsome in a movie star way, tall and lean with dark, carefully groomed hair. He frowns, deep green eyes piercing to the center of the newcomer, the only person in the world with more dangerous power over them than his Maker. He hadn't wanted this meeting in the first place, believing that it placed both he and his lover in peril. They had long since left the city and all its painful memories behind. The owner of Positive Encounter despised him, and he has never been sure that she would let him and his lover go without a fight after the way he defied her.
If he had been alone when it came to fight or flight, he would have chosen the former. But when it came to his lover, Winnie, the danger to his love was not worth his pride. He didn't trust his fictional creator any further.
Winnie, on the other hand, insists that people who read how they began should know what happened after she and Briggs left Positive Encounters and the city.
"We're doing really well," she reports, a small, lushly curved young woman with golden blonde hair spilling in loose waves over her shoulders. She is dressed simply, but with classical elegance, a soft cotton sweater and skirt that suggest wealth, but also simple taste, with practical knee-high soft boots to match.
"Obviously, I can't tell you exactly where we moved, but… it's beautiful. We have a house in the country with a ton of animals: horses and goats and chickens, a dog and a bunch of cats. I love it so much -- it's a warm, quiet life like the one Briggs and I both dreamed of. But we live close enough to a city that we can take in a show or a museum exhibit whenever we get the urge. We also travel a lot. I spent most of my life hiding from excitement, and even though we have to be careful, I still want to see everything I possibly can. Being with Briggs," she gives him a warm smile, "Makes all of that possible. I feel safe with him, no matter where we are or what we're doing."
Apparently, Briggs can't help himself. The scowl he's been wearing since the writer sat down melts away, and he looks at Winnie with unbridled affection. The writer realizes this is her in to address him.
"Briggs, what about you? You left a pretty exciting life here, a regular job and supply of blood at Positive Encounter. This has been a big lifestyle change for you, hasn't it?"
His smile fades as he brings those eyes to rest on the woman. "Ms. Fowler, no offense, but my life here was not exciting. Positive Encounters, as they have the nerve to call it, is nothing but a fancy drug den and a brothel. I was chained to it by my hunger and my guilt for what I did to Duncan in her human life, and she took full advantage of that. I can hardly even call those years before I met Winnie a life at all. I existed, drifting, trying to survive from one horrible act in service to the thirst and the next. I was a monster." He looks to Winnie once more, and gives her a slight, warm smile. "Winnie brought me back to my humanity again."
Whew. That was more than the writer could have hoped to hear from the usually stoic vampire.
"I'm glad to hear you're both so happy. What's next for you?"
Winnie's blue eyes sparkle with delight -- she doesn't seem terribly nervous at all. "I don't know. That's part of what I love so much about life with Briggs. I never know what to expect. We might snuggle in front of the fire at the house with a cup of cider, or make love by the shore in the full moon light. Heck, we might be eating pizza in Italy tomorrow. Every night is an adventure."
He doesn't look away from his lover. "I wish I could take you to the Middle East. Or Africa. Someday, perhaps, there will be peace there, and I can show you the wonders of those places. But next, I think, should be the Far East. We've been to some of the former Soviet states, but not China."
"Oh, I would love to see China! The Great Wall? Could we?" She holds both of his hands in hers as she gazes at him with love and wonder.
"Of course. Anywhere, my love." He kisses her knuckles softly.
The writer feels like a third wheel… which she is. These two are clearly in a world of their own, and have no desire to add more. But there is a final question she wants to ask.
"I wonder… Winnie, do you think you'll eventually become a vampire?"
The happiness pops like a soap bubble, and their faces fall as both turn to her. Briggs slumps visibly, his eyes down. Winnie, on the other hand, appears angry.
"He won't turn me," she says. "He says it's an abomination, and he won't put me through what he goes through every day. It's not fair, if you ask me. And I'm not giving up trying to change his mind until the day I die."
"Stop saying that, Winifred," Briggs says softly, suddenly far less the fierce, protective alpha male he had been a few moments ago, and more like a man broken by an impossible choice. "I love you. You don't know what you would become if I made you like me."
Winnie reaches over and tips his head up to look at her. "Briggs, my love… don't you know that I think you are amazing? That what you are is beautiful and miraculous? Together, neither of us would have to suffer. We both know how to survive without hurting anyone. I don't want to leave you when this short mortal life is over. I want to be with you forever."
Briggs turns away from her ad looks back at the writer. "This, and the question of danger from my Maker, are the only stains on an otherwise wonderful life. Both will be addressed, and even they don't shadow my gratitude for Winnie coming into my life. Even if we only have sixty years together, it will be the best time of my existence. What else do you want to know?"
The writer wants to know a great deal more, but the emotion between Winnie and Briggs is high, and she realizes there is a great deal more to this story that needs to be told than can come from this single meeting in a crowded coffee shop.
"Only what you want to tell me."
Winnie reaches across the table and takes the writer's hand. "I owe you everything for him. I do. Like Briggs said, we have our troubles, but I wouldn't trade any of them for the half-life I lived before. I was so alone, and now… now I have him, and I can't think of anything better. Everything is an adventure, a brand new experience, a miracle. So please… look into our lives again. Visit us when you can see everything we are. We would be so happy to have you."
"But not tonight," growls Briggs. "Tonight we have to leave this town before Duncan realizes we're here. If she doesn't already."
The writer wonders just how much trouble Briggs and Winnie are really in. Now after talking to them, her curiosity is piqued.
"Okay," she says, rising. The pair stands along with her and there are handshakes all around. "Thank you too for meeting with me. I wish you nothing but happiness."
"Thank you. For everything," says Briggs with uncharacteristic warmth.
"Please. Tell more of our story," repeats Winnie. "And go easy on us, if you can."
The writer nods and turns from them to head out into the cold once more. She hopes that the troubles they mentioned won't get in the way of their obvious happiness. Of course, a good story requires conflict, and their problems aren't simple ones.
But she won't know for sure until she visits their life again.
One of the biggest draws for me is that these beings literally have all the time in the world, to do anything. Go anywhere. Learn whatever they want. Human beings have such limited lifespans, we have to pick and choose what we get to experience in our brief years. Vampires don't have those restrictions. I look at my TBR list sometimes and I think, "I will never be able to read or write all the books I want to in my lifetime." A vampire wouldn't have to say that!" Of course, not having to deal with aging or death are definitely positives.
It's interesting and tragic that vampires are, as Doctor Who once said, "fixed point(s) in time." The world keeps moving and changing around them, but they remain the same as they did the moment they changed. They are, essentially, spectators to life and history. Of course, I like vampires who are active in the events of the present time -- if you're there, why not get in it? You're strong, smart, and nigh indestructible, you should be a hero… or at least a villain. ;)
At the same time, they're tragically not in the world, either. They're creatures separated from everyday life because of their nature. Some vampires are monsters or at least amoral predators because of this. Some try to use their powers for good (love a vampire hero!). Some are really broody and upset about it, although this kind of vampire has gone sadly out of style (except in YA, and I'm not really interested in that genre). Vampires who miss their humanity or wish they were still part of the world, aren't. They live forever, watching people and civilizations crumble and die, while they remain. I think that's sad, the other side of the "cool, I can read all the books!" coin.
Finally, I totally have a neck thing. Vampire bites are hot. There's an incredible eroticism about two creatures sharing life force that way. Now, this isn't to say that it's a real-life kink for me, because bloodplay is nasty and dangerous as a rule. But in fiction? Share away!
I named the story "Positive Encounter" (singular) because it actually was positive, at least for Winnie and Briggs. Is Winnie still in danger? Probably… Briggs does have a problem with his hunger. But for the moment, they've saved each other from lives that made them unhappy. Both get to break away, supported by the other. It's a positive Encounter.
My all-time favorite series is actually Diana Gabaldon's Outlander books -- nowhere NEAR UF/PNR, unless you count the first book's time travel. I also adore J.D. Robb/La Nora's In Death series. You'll note that they share in common a strong primary couple. But I also still love the Anita Blake series (although I can't keep track of the lovers anymore. I'm an old fashioned Jean-Claude/Richard/Anita girl anyway), Kim Harrison's Hallows series, and Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunters.
My reading tastes are fairly broad outside of romance and UF though. I like biography, horror, and philosophy books best, with a good dose of humor.

Only a little more editing, just have not had time to get in the studio to do it yet this year. A reader had a few questions, which I will try to answer below.
Interesting project, from the photo of instrument and mouthpiece, I guess your using a modern mouthpiece. This would contribute to the intonation problems, after all the mouthpiece your [sic] using is not historically correct. Besides performers of that era would have been used to correcting the pitch with hand and lips. It is only modern players who seem to complain about out of tune instruments, back then you just got on with it.
In part II of my series on developing this CD project (here) I mentioned that I was trying several mouthpieces on the horn but to clarify I settled on the Moosewood LGC model which is a copy of a historic mouthpiece (now out of production) based on I recall a Courtois mouthpiece. Just I would never use that mouthpiece on a modern horn, I would never use a modern mouthpiece on the Seraphinoff horn either — a modern mouthpiece is not a good acoustical match.
I think the reader has a point about tuning though, natural horn has out of tune notes and if you started on it, correcting those notes always, then when you switched to a valve horn back in the day (late 19th century) that would seem pretty normal. Horns just had bad notes and you dealt with them. For for modern horn though, really, a good horn certainly has very good intonation.
But back to the photo in question (also seen in part III, here), that day that moment I was playing the modified Atkinson mouthpiece which is a bit more like a modern mouthpiece, I will grant you that. But it was not used on the actual recordings.
Look forward to hearing the completed project. I do have one question. What criteria did you use to decide whether the solo was intended for natural horn or valve horn? Or could some of the solos have been intended for either instrument?
They are defiantly all valved horn solos. Some say Ventilhorn right on the music, but the from gamut of notes used in every piece it is also very evident they are valved horn solos. The requested written pitches being the main criteria to know if a work is for the valved horn or the natural horn.
I will be swamped for a few weeks but hope to get the final edits done and the CD mastered by the end of February and released not too long after that. More then.

Bible Truth for Living
Dear Grace Baptist Church Family,
The news is relentless. It is literally 24/7. And it comes from every form of media—TV, radio, internet, Facebook and even in printed form. Those little bites of information that grab our attention for a moment are called "newsworthy." But as you know a lot of it is not worthy of our time or attention.
But it is difficult to avoid. If we do not receive the news information from the sources I mentioned, then we hear about it in casual conversations. You cannot avoid the news.
But the news we often hear is very discouraging, disparaging and sometimes depressing! At least that is how I sometimes feel after the "newsflash." Do you?
Let me recommend that you read something else. Yes, it is the Bible. That is the true trustworthy source that we can depend on. But I want to direct you to a familiar passage. It was written by Moses—as the human author (we know that God is the real author of Scripture). And Moses had some experience with days that were difficult. Can you imagine if there were news back then like there is today? Moses would have been headline news regularly. You can think of all kinds of news articles about Moses.
But inspired by God we are blessed with a psalm that is very instructive for us. That familiar psalm is Psalm 90. It does not take long to read it. Please do.
I will list a few thoughts that impacted me. I am sure you will see these as well as many others. I would encourage you to jot your thoughts down. As you read this psalm and think through it I believe you will be encouraged by a man who looked at God and was not distracted by the news of the day. So here are a few insights to get you started:
• the eternity of God
• the brevity of life
• the appeal to have a meaningful life
• that God would favor us knowing that our life is short
• confidence in God
• desire for divine intervention
• desire for God to work through us
• to show His power to future generations
• the reality of affliction and difficulty in this life
• we are recipients of God's mercy
I hope that helps you in your inner man. It did me! You can't miss the news but you can have a different perspective. This psalm helps.
In closing, I encourage you to pray for our services, for our church and for me as well. Would you take a few private moments between now and Sunday morning to pray?
I look forward to worshipping the Lord together with you.
In Christ,
Wynne Kimbrough
Your Pastor

Money Transmitter Tip
20 May
Many state money transmitter licensing laws expressly state that if you provide money transmission services to persons in that state, no matter where you are located, then you must be licensed as a money transmitter under that state's law. For example, Hawaii's Money Transmitter's Act states that a company is engaged in providing money transmission in Hawaii if the company provides money transmitter services to persons in Hawaii, even if the company engaged in money transmission has no physical presence in Hawaii. Similarly, California's Money Transmission Act covers anyone who transmits money with, to, or from persons located in California. This means that if your services are open to anyone in the US, including offering the services over the internet (i.e., you do not restrict your services geographically) you could be subject to the money transmitter laws in every applicable state.

Paris- time for a day trip- Chartres
After a couple perfect sunny days, it was time for a day trip. Of the several on my list, I picked Chartres because I'm a sucker for stained glass windows and little towns.
Chartres has had a cathedral since the ninth century and the current one is at least the 5th known on that site. You wouldn't think fire would be a problem but it is because they used wood supports for those massive stone arches. The amazing Gothic facade is covered in scaffolding now as a restoration campaign is underway. They have removed the oldest of the Gothic windows for cleaning and have completed the North portal and a portion of the part above the altar. It will be a good reason to return in 5 or 6 years to see it all bright and shiny.
I took a tour with Malcolm Miller, an Englishman who came to Chartres as a student over 50 years ago and has made the study of the cathedral a life's work. I wish we had spent more time on the windows and less on church history. The windows were meant as teaching tools for those who couldn't read and there is an order to reading them, bottom, left, right, center, top.
The church's other claim to fame is the garment "worn by Mary" when she gave birth to Jesus. This piece of cloth, sometimes referred to as a veil, miraculously survived one of the fires which destroyed the rest of the church. Pilgrims have come to the church to honor Mary since it was built. There is a labyrinth in the floor where pilgrims traced its path on their knees. This labyrinth is uncovered some of the time because it is still on the pilgrim route.
The afternoon was spent wandering the winding streets of the old town and along the banks of the river. Many of the streets are named for professions, like shoemakers or tanners, and some are named for locations, like fish market or herb market. You can also look for special street plaques in a treasure hunt.
This time of year the town was very quiet with shops closed and the little tourist train not running. There was one tour group there are I arrived and it reinforced my dislike of tours. The guide gave an introduction to the cathedral, told the people what to look for, gave them 90 minutes to explore the church AND have lunch before getting back on the bus for the next stop. How can you have any meaningful visit on those terms. I'm so glad I can just wander.

I feel the same about tour groups…..
Brian / Apr 2 2011 5:41 am
I've heard about Malcolm Miller and was planning on taking his tour of the history of the cathedral. But it's the windows I want to see! So, the main Rose window is…gone, for now? Is there any way of knowing when the labyrinth is uncovered? I specifically wanted to walk that. I'm glad you mentioned that.
Brian / Apr 2 2011 8:36 am
Well, this time is a quick trip to Paris after teaching in Italy- arriving Friday evening and leaving Wednesday. But, I plan on being back. Thanks for the info!

A view inside sector 3-4 of the LHC tunnel at the site of the Sept. 19 malfunction.
CERN today confirmed that the Large Hadron
Collider (LHC) will restart in 2009. This news forms part of an updated
report, published today, on the status of the LHC following a malfunction
on 19 September.
"The top priority for CERN today is to provide collision data for the
experiments as soon as reasonably possible," said CERN Director General
Robert Aymar. "This will be in the summer of 2009."
The initial malfunction was caused by a faulty electrical connection
between two of the accelerator's magnets. This resulted in mechanical
damage and release of helium from the magnet cold mass into the tunnel.
Proper safety procedures were in force, the safety systems performed as
expected, and no one was put at risk.
Detailed studies of the malfunction have allowed the LHC's engineers to identify means of preventing a similar incident from reoccurring in the future, and to design new protection systems for the machine. A total of 53 magnet units have to be removed from the tunnel for cleaning or repair, of these, 28 have already been brought to the surface and the first two replacement units have been installed in the tunnel. The current schedule foresees the final magnet being reinstalled by the end of March 2009, with the LHC being cold and ready for powering tests by the end of June 2009.

Roads and Grounds employee Dave Shemanske, center, presents DOE's Fermi Site Office Deputy Manager Mark Bollinge, left, and Fermilab Director Pier Oddone with a natural landscaping award on Dec. 4. Shemanske accepted the award on behalf of the laboratory last month from the Chicago Wilderness Congress and the U.S. EPA. The award was given for conversion of a sewage treatment area on site into a natural marsh. Learn more about the Nepese Marsh Restoration Project here.
Fermilab has released the latest report from the Physics Advisory Commitee, an advisory group that recommends direction to the laboratory's leadership regarding future experiments and programs.
The Fermilab Physics Advisory Committee considered at its fall session ways to keep and grow a dynamic, diversified science program. The meeting focused on R&D for future experiments.
Topics specifically considered during the Nov. 3-5 meeting included Fermilab's role on CMS, the long-baseline neutrino program anticipated for DUSEL, the mu2e experiment and the Joint Dark Energy Mission. The committee reviewed a proposal for a mu2e experiment and recommended
Stage I approval. Stage I approval, which has been granted by the Laboratory,
means that the experiment's physics goals are important for the field, and the
proposed techniques are appropriate for that stage. Then, the experiment and
Laboratory can proceed to develop a more detailed plan and pursue funding.
Throughout the laboratory's history, the PAC has analyzed proposals for experiments and potential programs and helped the laboratory to define its strategic plan. Senior scientists from universities and high-energy physics laboratories in the U.S. and abroad comprise the PAC.
"The theorists and experimentalists on the committee offer both breadth of vision and depth of experience," said Jeff Appel, assistant director at Fermilab and the committee's secretary.
The charge to the PAC and the committee's comments and recommendations are now available from links on the PAC Web page.
The PAC's next meeting is scheduled for March 5-7, 2009.
Make sure to walk and drive carefully in winter conditions.
As last Wednesday's storm approached Fermilab, Dave Shemanske sent an e-mail to Fermilab Today noting that "winter caught up to us quickly this year" and might have caught users and employees unprepared for winter travel.
Shemanske has more than a passing interest in Fermilab's vehicle and pedestrian safety. Besides his role as group leader in FESS Roads & Grounds, he is a member of the laboratory's Traffic Safety Subcommittee.
He wanted to make sure users and employees know how to stay safe not only at work but on their way to and from the laboratory and in their free time. He offered the following safety tips for navigating winter travel.
A group of students from the Science Academy of Chicago took a tour of Fermilab on Nov. 14. Hakan Oztunc, an assistant to Osman Arslan, the school's principal, wrote up an account of the event for one of Turkey's best-selling newspapers, Zaman. The full article is available here.

Wii U version of Crysis 3 not in the cards
Crysis 3 on Wii U? "Fat chance," says the studio's director of creative development Rasmus Hoejengaard.
"I don't think it's going to be possible," he told Dtoid. "It's not in the cards to do a Wii U version."
And that looks to be that. No point in dragging it out.
The game will be out some time in 2013, for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The first gameplay trailer arrived just yesterday; catch that here.

The Utah Grizzlies have re-signed forward Travis Howe for the 2017-2018 season, the team has announced.
Last season Howe finished second in the ECHL with 22 fighting majors and fourth in penalty minutes with 324. He scored two goals, both of which were game winners, and had two assists in 50 games played.
Howe ended the season with the third most penally minutes since the team joined the ECHL in 2006 and the ninth most in the organization's 23-seasons.
"Getting [Howe] re-signed was a high priority for us," Branham said in a statement. "He is a fan favorite and a very important part of our team. We are excited to have him back."
The Grizzlies' opening night is set for October 14 against Colorado.

Full of beautiful things for children and the home, with a children's art space next door. Whenever we visited, we'd leave with a bounce in our step feeling so inspired! The little shop has moved now and morphed into an incredible showroom for her Umbrella Prints fabric collection which she co-creates with Amy Prior. These fabric lines are to die for. We loved it so much, just before Daisy was born we had the girls hand screen print some of their beautiful 'perfect circles' print on to a divine natural hemp for us. We then upholstered our Bentwood rocking chair in the nursery. It's so serene and gorgeous and special to know that it was created by hand for us! So it is with much excitement that we bring to you our collaboration between Umbrella Prints and Such Great Heights.

Spanky was so happy to be let loose in the big field yesterday that he galloped around with joy when B finally opened the gate to his freedom. It is such a pleasure to see such a beautiful horse run, his movements flowing like water in a stream.
The trees that line the field to the east, a little forest actually, are wearing their brightest colors of the season as though they are having one final dress up event before retiring to sleep for the winter. They are quite flashy in their reds, oranges, yellows, and burgundies offset by the dark evergreens it is quite spectacular.
I long to ride the horses- any horses. It seems so stupid to be in one of the most horse populated parts of the country and fail to have a way to ride. I must work on that. Riding is an activity that makes my heart sing and in the face of all this fear and doubt and work of trying to make a career, be a conscious person and a good parent I need some bliss for balance.
B had the tin parts of the roof painted last week and it looks stunning. Sprooses the place up. Perhaps Black Cat Cabin is a metaphor for me. Getting better and better every day in every way.

TPO – A Single Ply Vinyl Roofing Membrane
Thermoplastic Polyolefin or TPO, is a single ply vinyl roofing membrane that is manufactured in rolls of 8-16 feet wide, and is typically white in color. To install a TPO commercial roofing system, the roofing contractor must be certified by the manufacturer. The flashing used around skylights, vents, a/c units, drains, and drip edges is pre-manufactured specific to each commercial roof. Seams are bonded on site with the use of hot-air, walk-behind welding machines that must be calibrated throughout the day, because of temperature changes.
TPO Origins and Performance History
In 1991 Flexible Polyolefin (FPO) membranes were first introduced in Europe. United States manufacturers introduced and produced TPO membranes and helped gain a steady market share in the roofing industry because of its economical price. The average membrane consists of a 0.064 inches (1.6 mm [63 mils]) in thickness. The most common TPO thickness used in the U.S. is 45 mils. and many of the products labeled "45 mils." actually have as little as 32 mils. of the polymer3 formulation. European manufacturers use fiberglass and polyester to reinforce the membrane, but a U.S. produced TPO reinforced membrane will expand and contract 5 to 7 times more.TPO cannot withstand the temperature swings that occur in much of North America. TPO membranes also need the proper cleaning solvents that must be used in the installation process to achieve consistent seaming. The properties and chemical formulations that lead to the membrane's deterioration and failures are due to the choosing of the membrane's thickness, and the reinforcement used. Nevertheless, TPO manufacturers in the US are looking forward to creating an improved formulation that would have the advantages, of another single ply membrane, known as Polyvinyl chloride, or PVC, without risking its marketable price tag.
PVC Origins and Performance History
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) has been in the U.S. roofing market since 1970 and continues to hold its reputation in relation to durability and quality performance. It has a flame retardant property with an exceptional chemical resistance and lower stress cracking issues. However, history reveals that PVC underwent the same downfalls that TPO did during its early stages in the U.S. roofing industry. This led to the questioning of U.S. manufacturer's reliability in comparison to its European counterpart.
Evidence showed that TPO and PVC demonstrated top performance in Europe, but failed in US during its entry into the market due to its inability to withstand the temperature swings that occur in much of North America. Hence, the conclusion was made that U.S. manufacturers prioritized profit over quality. The exact specifications were sacrificed resulting in the production of poor quality versions of both membranes.
In view of this fact, the National Roofing Contractor's Association's (NRCA's) research showed that U.S. versions of PVC membranes were thinner than what were produced and installed by its European counterparts. The huge difference was clear as dimensions showed 30-40 mils vs. 60 mils. Furthermore, the formulation and installation were far from the truth because such things were not done in Europe.
U.S. manufacturers began to look for exact adjustments to the membrane's formulation. Finally, PVC earns a reputation as a top performing single-ply roofing product in the U.S. roofing industry.
Because TPO and PVC membranes are single-ply roofing systems, they will only provide a 15 year-performance, at best, with numerous maintenance needs. Maintenance repairs, prior to the adjustments, will come from the installation of a thinner membrane, installation workmanship, and maintenance crews that inadvertently puncture the thin membrane, by stepping on nails or screws lying around while working on rooftop units. Therefore, PVC is a costly investment to make for a roof that will not last beyond 15 years.

Poetry Tips for Beginners: How to Get Started...
If you're a writer looking for poetry tips, welcome to this Little River Poetry Fest...1
So you want to write poetry. It might seem simple. Just throw some rhymes together and hope for the best. But poetry can be an incredibly complicated exercise in not only saying what you want to say but ensuring your audience understands your message. Here are some quick and simple poetry tips for making your writing stronger and improving your poetry.
Many beginning poets think that throwing flowery language around with some obscure symbols that they understand but no one else does is a great way to write a poem. When you see pieces like this:
you never cared about my placard,
you always formed opinions on roast beef without asking me first
The reader has no idea what's going on in these lines. The narrator seems upset about someone not eliciting their opinions and caring about things that are important to them, but roast beef and placards? What do those objects mean within this poem? How is the audience to know?
Sometimes saying what you need to say in as few words as possible is the most difficult form of poetry at all. Other poems need to be longer to accommodate a story or more complex ideas. But being able to edit your poem and prune back the phrases and lines that are already established can strengthen your work and keep your audience enraptured. When it comes to open mics and readings, no audience members wants to sit through a 30 minute poem that simply says the same thing over and over again.
Simply put: you don't. No one does. Never stop attending lectures, workshops, readings, and hitting your local library for new poetry books by a variety of authors. Nothing is more disheartening to see than someone who has great potential decide they don't need to hone their craft.


text: By Alan Rappeport in New York Published: October 26 2010 14:24 | Last updated: October 26 2010 18:03Financial TimesUS house prices tumbled in August, raising fears that uncertainty surrounding foreclosure moratoriums could send the fragile real estate market into an end-of-year swoon.Home prices in the biggest US cities fell 0.2 per cent from July to August, according to the S&P/Case-Shiller index. That was worse than analysts expected and left prices up just 1.7 per cent from the same month a year ago.David Blitzer, chairman of S&P's index committee, called the report "disappointing" and said: "The housing market appears to have stabilised at new lows."The market has been plagued by doubts about foreclosures, which have reached record levels. "At this point there is a lot of uncertainty about how the moratoria will play out and that will weigh on the macro environment," said Michelle Meyer, at Bank of America Merrill Lynch.Ms Meyer said that if bank-imposed foreclosure freezes dragged on there could be a temporary boost in home prices because of a smaller proportion of distressed sales. However, the effect of a flood of fore-closures once these moratoriums were lifted risked widening the imbalance between housing inventory and demand, causing steep slides in prices. Of the top 20 markets tracked by S&P, prices fell in 15 cities on a monthly basis in August. Meanwhile, the tepid year-on-year increase revealed slowing growth from previous months as the housing market copes with the withdrawal of government stimulus measures.Home prices could continue to fall by as much as 0.5 per cent a month for the next few months, argues Ian Shepherdson, of High Frequency Economics, as buyers remain on the sidelines and the momentum from the first-time homebuyer tax credit wanes.Phoenix, Dallas, Atlanta, Portland and Seattle had the steepest monthly declines in August, while prices picked up in New York, Washington, Chicago, Detroit and Las Vegas, the hardest hit market in the US. Since peaking in the summer of 2006, home prices have plunged nearly 30 per cent and now sit at 2003 levels.Steven Hawks, a realtor in Nevada, said that foreclosures freezes are going to further depress the market in his state by "artificially holding back inventory" and making it impossible for buyers and sellers to determine the true value of homes.In spite of fears about a "double-dip" in the housing market, there have been some signs of stability recently. Freddie Mac said on Tuesday that delinquencies were declining and loan modifications were on the rise, as struggling homeowners made progress avoiding eviction, and the National Association of Realtors reported a rise in September home resales.A separate report from the Conference Board showed that consumer sentiment was lifted in early October by rosier outlooks for the next six months. But analysts fear that the troubles facing the housing market could make that optimism short lived.

2015 has been the year that me and the Yoga Retreat have fallen in love.
I'm a new devotee to these beautiful breaks, undertaking short pilgrimages across Europe to roll out my mat; enjoy plenty of sunshine; meet new people; and take a break from everyday life. I've become the person that talks about them constantly – convincing you how amazing they are, how they will provide you with perspective on things and how they are, potentially, the answer to world peace.
(More than that, as I race towards my 30th birthday and nearly every friend of mine becomes engaged, Yoga retreats are also the perfect place to take a holiday, alone, without finding yourself in a lonely resort, crying into Tinder).
So, following my successful trip to Silver Island earlier this year, I lasted an entire fortnight before booking my second retreat to the heavenly Finca Paradiso in southern Spain. After glimpsing a few photographs of beautiful Moorish looking architecture, a large swimming pool and a hammock, I hit book. Say no more Finca Paradiso, say no more.
August came around quickly and before I knew it, I was on a bus with my 16 new friends, heading towards the Spanish countryside. Following a bumpy journey south, we stepped off our bus and into Finca Paradiso: an eco-retreat spanning 4 acres and sitting peacefully under a canopy of fruit trees, flowers and hidden hammocks.
As we walked off the bus, we were immediately hit by the warm, Spanish evening air. The sound of cicadas vibrated around us, palm trees swayed in the breeze and the beautiful smell of flowers, lemons and limes hung in the air. I was happy and smug to be there.
The retreat is split into various types of accommodation, ranging from the large family house where I would be staying, to individual apartments scattered throughout the grounds. The house itself was beautiful: full of bright art work, Moroccan inspired tiling and comfy areas to relax and talk.
I was sharing the 'Citrus Room' with my roommate Margo (I seem to get lucky with roommates and only ever get the best human beings), which had views over the pool and was filled with the pink hues of sunrise every morning. Our hallway was much like university halls: full of girls sharing one bathroom and a lot of talking.
The days on the retreat were very similar to Silver Island. We began with an 8 – 10am yoga class, followed by breakfast (fresh figs, fruits, yogurts and berries). After a few hours of lounging in the sunshine and worrying about tan lines, it was time for lunch. I'd then manage to fit in a siesta or massage, before another yoga class 5-6.30pm. The evenings were largely based around food and talking, as we sat at our fairy-light lit table in the beautiful grounds of the Finca. Hard going. I have no idea how I managed.
I was lucky enough to be on a retreat led by Zephyr Wildman. For anyone based in London, Zephyr teaches regularly at The Life Centre in both Islington and Notting Hill. I couldn't recommend her classes more. Alongside our regular Asana practice (that's moving around on your mat to you and me), Zephyr also took us through a dazzling amount of theory and philosophy. From Doshas to Kleshas, Meditation to Anatomy, we had a whirlwind insight into the eight limbs of yoga. I found it all genuinely fascinating and really helpful – who knew my Dosha type was Vatta and that I constantly hyper-extend in my right leg?
Zephyr was also fantastic in helping with my meditation – something I've always struggled with. Aspects of meditation scared me and I'd rather do anything other than sit alone with my memories and thoughts. But Zephyr helped me get past those stumbling blocks and by the end, I was finally enjoying sitting quietly for 15 minutes, in my own bubble of mindfulness.
The grounds of Finca Paradiso were much like a mini oasis. You could walk freely around the 4 acres, discovering art work; sculptures; hammocks; fig trees; lemon and lime trees; streams; waterfalls; yurts (you can stay in these colourful little tents, if you like!); and flowers, all whilst enjoying amazing views of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Guests had access to the kitchen at all times for fruit, tea and leftovers (carrot cake), and you could laze around the two pools together, or find somewhere a little quieter to retreat. Massages and facials were also available and I had an incredibly painful (yet enjoyable) 90 minute Thai massage.
We had one 'day trip' whilst on the retreat, which after days of laying around in isolation, was a big deal. We got back on our bus and headed out to Mojácar, for some wandering around and a big lunch. Due to the heat, the wandering lasted 10 minutes, but the eating and drinking lasted a few hours. We then headed to the beach on the local bus, before taking up most of the sun loungers. The braver people of the group were straight in the sea, diving through waves, whilst the contact lense wearing crowd (me included), stood blindly on the beach and bravely cheered them on. The rest of the day was spent sunbathing, drinking beers and attempting a few aborted handstands.
Writing about experiences such as yoga retreats is difficult. Explaining where we went, what we did and what it looked like is easy, but anything past that gets harder to articulate. These retreats are less about the sights you saw, the activities you did and the nights out you had, and more about how you felt when you arrived and how you felt when you left – completely different.
Maybe it's all that yoga and meditation, maybe it's the healthy food and long days filled with sunshine, or perhaps it's just being with a group of people you've never met, but who would give you some of the best advice you've had all year. But either way, my trip to Spain and my time with Zephyr and the group was special. Regardless of whether you can touch your toes or can sit and meditate for hours on end, these retreats are something I'd recommend to anyone and everyone. Get a little bit of 'omm' in your life and you'll feel a whole lot better. I promise.
Yoga retreats always look so idyllic but unfortunately pretty pricey! Maybe one day!

So after we got my pointe shoes on Wednesday, my mom and I were wondering what to do with them. My mom had gotten an email (she thinks) telling us that I needed to bring my pointe shoes in to do something to (probably get the elastic and ribbons put on).
But we finally got a reply from the inquiry my mom sent about these mysterious shoes. During our first class, our teacher will be going over everything, and we should bring our shoes unsewn.
It makes me a little sad because I am absolutely jumping out of my skin to start dancing in these shoes (even though its gonna hurt) and putting it off one more day just seems like a crime….but I need to have patience.
I also found out that the ballet company has a big sister/little sister thing going. I'm really curious to see who my big sister is. I'm hoping I'll get to make a new friend because up until now, due to my age and class placement (a 16 year old in class with 6th graders), I haven't really had any ballet friends.

WordPress is a teenager! Happy Birthday, WP.
WordPress launched 13 years ago today. That's 13 years of awesome goodness only getting better as the months roll on. Blogs, businesses, and community all have grown considerably around the WordPress space.
My business is exclusively built around WordPress which makes a WordPress birthday a really big event here in my office.
The CMS has seriously advanced over the years and is currently used by more than 25 percent of the entire internet; which is pretty amazing stats to say the least.
Never-the-less, WordPress has come light years since Matt Mullenweg and Mike Little got together to make blogging much easier. I definitely wouldn't be here (or writing this) without it.
Thanks guys! 🙂
