I have been attempting the rib stitch for about a week now. I've tried k1, p1 and k2, p2, but once I get a few rows finished it always ends up looking just like a regular garter stitch. After 7 or 8 rows I get frustrated and give up. I have watched tons of videos and always do what they show, but it isn't working. Any ideas about what I am doing wrong?
Oops! I didn't mean to misspell stitch!
I'm assuming you're knitting flat? Like a scarf? Not sure exactly what you're doing, but I suspect you're knitting the knits and purling the purls.
To get ribbing you knit the knits and purl the purls. What this means is you must know what you're stitches look like. This an important thing to know in all knitting. All stitches have two sides. A stitch you knit will be a purl on the other side, etc.
Here's a swatch.. You can see the purls look like bump snugged up and the knits look like V. When you turn your work you'll see the other side.
For a k2, p2 pattern it would look like this - 1. kk, pp, kk, pp, 2. pp, kk, pp, kk 3. kk, pp, kk, pp
That is what I thought I was doing, but maybe I have been wrong. I will keep playing with it and hopefully figure out where my mistake is! Thank you so much for your help!
Here's a video that shows ribbing, maybe that would help. Make sure you don't take the yarn over the needle when you switch it back and forth; it needs to go between the needle tips.
I think this is the ribbing link that Sue forgot. One is english, the other continental so choose which one you want.
You might also want to make sure that you're KNITting the KNIT stitches and PURLing the PURL stitches on each row. Also, remember to check the first stitch of each row to see which stitch you should start with.
For example, if you do Knit 1, Purl 1 across the first row and end with a Purl 1; your first stitch for the next row will be Knit 1. BUT if you end your first row with a Knit 1, then the first stitch of the next row will start with a Purl 1.
Same thing with Knit 2, Purl 2. Check the stitches at the beginning of each row and make sure whether you should start with a Knit 2 or a Purl 2.
hth, knitcindy
Thanks, you're right I did forget it. I was using a friend's laptop, and I don't always get along well with them.
Thank you, everyone! I think I have it figured out! I have NO clue what I would do if I hadn't found this site!

Imagine picking up the phone and getting Justin Bieber on the line. Well, that's just what happened to some older guy whose number must be awkwardly similar to Chris Brown's. Yesterday, Bieber tried to dial his friend to wish him a happy birthday, and mistakenly dialed the wrong number.
"Chris Brown happy birthday man... call me cuz u programed yr new number wrong in my phone. I was calling this old guy who didn't believe he was talking to me," tweeted Bieber. Brown didn't respond directly to his friend, who he recently joined on stage in Australia, , but he gave a blanket thank you to everyone who wished him well on his day via twitter.
Chris wrote, "Thanks to everyone for wishing me a happy bday! I love y'all! I'm 22, that's crazy! And Im back blond!

- I've seen your website, after reviewing your design, i can say your previous submission request may be the hard reject.
- if you want to be in this business, never try to develop the design without use of PSD, because the following things - Programmer can not design - PSD designer can not be a programer.
- First create the PSD of your ideas & after approving the PSD design, create HTML design, then after approving the html, create the wordpress.
- Never thing the themeforest market place is the smaller market, the Great Developer & Designers is here.
- Last thing i want to say is, you've submitted the very poor quality of the design, you can not improve this. because better then this, you can find in free themes.
- do research in this market, you can find very perfect & best quality of design in "Free Wordpress Theme" so if i want to be a buyer of your theme, why should i buy.
- if you really want to understand what i mean to say is ??, think about to buy this theme in 45 to 58$, & can you purchase this?
- when you want to sell, think like a buyer, not seller & think about the buyers requirement, not your idea.- Thank to read my suggestion !!!
hello guys, i am interested buy a tech theme with which can provide high loading speed. please share your theme links that is support my requirement
- Good Speed - SEO friendly - Beautiful Design - Mega menu supported - Product review supported

Japanese Artist Crafts Furniture That Looks Like Sketches
This mind-bending furniture looks like it came straight out of someone's napkin or sketchbook.
What are these kids doing inside this drawing? A look from another angle reveals that something unusual is going on.
It's not the kids who've been flattened to 2D photographs of themselves, it's the chairs that have been realized as three-dimensional models. These fully functional pieces of furniture, a 2013 thesis project called "Rough Sketch Products" realized by Tokyo University of the Arts student Daigo Fukawa, look like they leapt straight from a napkin – or even someone's mind – into the three-dimensional world. Though we can't say how comfortable the seats are (they appear to be made out of wire), the effect is both visually stunning and humorous.
It takes very literally the sometimes authoritarian commands of a chicken-scratching designer to his or her more technically skilled underlings. In this way, Fukawa might have been lampooning the hierarchical creative process. Conversely, he might have just wanted to rethink furniture – as the product of someone's mind and drawing rather than an amalgamation of mass-produced materials. Either way, it looks like he has a bright future ahead of him.

Robert Pattinson Films "Maps to the Stars" Amidst Reported KStew Reunion
Continuing to film scenes for "Maps to the Stars," Robert Pattinson got to work in Hollywood, CA this afternoon (August 20).
The 27-year-old actor chatted with a crew member before heading into makeup and wardrobe.
In romantic news, Robert is reportedly desperate to patch things up with his ex-gal Kristen Stewart.
According to Us Weekly, the "Twilight" couple reportedly met up at Kristen's LA home for "an intense conversation" earlier this month.
"They will probably pick up where they left off," a source told the publication. "Rob is obsessed with her."
Do you think the couple should make amends or just give up?

The Way of the Master is a ministry of Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort, whose purpose is to teach Christians how to share the gospel effectively, Biblically…the way Jesus did.
Who do you know who isn't saved? A friend or co-worker? Your mother or father? Your Spouse? Your children? Think of their terrible fate if they die without Christ. You love them and want them to be saved, but perhaps you don't know what to say. We will give you all the tools you need so you won't be at a loss for words. You don't need to be an expert in apologetics. Just let your love swallow your fears and learn the principles of Biblical evangelism. Share the gospel the way Jesus did.

Cataracts occur when the natural lens inside the eye becomes cloudy and opacified. They range from a mild degree of clouding to advanced. Most cataracts are related to the natural aging process of the eye and will affect nearly all patients at some point in their lives. The most common complaints include: blurry vision, poor night vision often associated with glare and halos, difficulty reading and dissatisfaction with best corrected vision. Cataract surgery removes the affected lens and replaces it with a new synthetic lens. This surgery is one of the most common elective surgical procedures performed in the United States with one of the highest success rates. To date, we have performed over 30,000 cataract procedures.
Cataract Technology
Davis Eye Center is proud to be the first practice in Northeast Ohio to offer the LenSx Laser System. Cataract procedures have never before been this accurate, or efficient.
The Center for Surgery
Should eye surgery be required, comprehensive care at the Davis Eye Center includes convenient access to an ambulatory surgery center on site. The Center for Surgery is certified by the State of Ohio and Medicare, and has been awarded Joint Commission accreditation. Joint Commission accreditation is recognized nationally and represents the "Gold Seal of Approval" in health care. The entire medical staff is highly specialized in eye procedures, as 100% of the surgeries performed here are devoted to the eye. For this reason, we have the absolute latest in surgical technology, including the LenSx laser system for cataract surgery and the WaveLight EX500 Excimer Laser for LASIK patients. Our technology portfolio, like our results, are unparalleled.

The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror: Eleventh Annual Collection
by Ellen Datlow (Editor), Terri Winding (Editor)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This book is huge and I'm not sure I would ever be able to read it all straight through but if you are looking for something a little shorter than a novel this book fits the bill. I love to just open up to a random story and get lost in it. With stories from some of the best loved authors in these genres its a great addition to anyone's collection.
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0312190344, Paperback)The collaborative efforts of Ellen Datlow (horror) and Terri Windling (fantasy) are becoming something of a legend, as year after year they deliver the best horror and fantasy short fiction in a fat (500 double-length pages) anthology that avoids pigeonholes with its mingled, unlabeled sample of the two genres. As in previous years, this volume includes more than 100 pages of summaries about the year 1997 in horror and fantasy publishing, horror and fantasy in the media, and comics. The fiction includes 18 stories and 8 poems with just Terri Windling's initials, and 18 stories and 1 poem with Ellen Datlow's initials, with some (presumably dark fantasy) that are tagged by both.
Even more than usual, Ellen Datlow's horror selections introduce a remarkable variety of types of stories. One of the best tales is Molly Brown's "The Psychomantium," about a mirror that allows alternative time lines to intersect, creating double fates for the characters. "The Skull of Charlotte Corday" (photos included) by Leslie Dick takes an essayistic approach to a famous female assassin and some creepy details in the history of sexual surgery. Douglas Clegg's "I Am Infinite, I Contain Multitudes" is a striking body-horror tale that was nominated for a Bram Stoker Award. Christopher Harman, P.D. Cacek, Joyce Carol Oates, and Vikram Chandra contribute old-fashioned ghost stories. Gary Braunbeck's "Safe" is reminiscent of the best of Stephen King in its portrayal of realistic horror in a small town. Michael Chabon's "In the Black Mill" more than proves that Lovecraftian horror can transcend shallow pastiche. And other horror notables--such as Michael Cadnum, Christopher Fowler, Caitlín Kiernan, Stephen Laws, Kim Newman, Norman Partridge, and Nicholas Royle--make appearances.
Terri Windling's selections include familiar fantasy names such as Peter Beagle, Charles de Lint, Karen Joy Fowler, and Jane Yolen, and famous genre-crossers such as Ray Bradbury, Howard Waldrop, and Jack Womack. She also provides welcome space for fantasy poetry--charming pieces with images of the Trickster Coyote, Sheela Na Gig, and a mermaid, and titles like "Coffee Jerk at the Gates of Hell." The Pulitzer Prize-winning Steven Millhauser contributes an enchanting tale that originally appeared in the New Yorker. Other tales are inspired by an intriguing range of sources: Gulliver's Travels, Marilyn Monroe, the Scottish legend of the Sineater, the art of glass blowing, Aztec myth, and ancient Jewish lore.
There's no better way to take in the best of these two genres, both for the great selections and the ample pointers to 1997's novels, magazines, art, movies, and comics that you may not have heard about. --Fiona Webster

Roll them out on top of a light dusting of flour. Try to get them as thin as you can. Some people are lucky enough to have wonderful inventions called a tortilla press like this one:
I'll have to invest in one some day. *sigh* but when you are used to rolling out 50 of these for big gatherings, 12 is a piece of cake.
These are incredible to eat while still fresh and hot. Especially with a slab of butter! Yum!

As the latest in a never-ending parade of new coaches for the New York/New Jersey MetroStars/Red Bulls, Hans Backe has at least one claim to originality: he's the first Swede.
Whether that particularly matters, positively or negatively, who knows? Anyone who has followed the almost farcical series of events that has unfolded at this franchise during the past 14 years can only make note of yet another change, and simply hope for the best.
Backe did well at his debut press conference. Despite the fact that we had to don hard hats to even get to the conference site (a first, for me anyhow -- coaching conferences as danger sites?), and despite the fact that his introduction was to some extent upstaged by our first real glimpse of what the not-quite finished new stadium, the Red Bull Arena, is going to look like. It will be good, for sure -- a great improvement on what the team has been putting up with, lost in the vastness of the old Giants Stadium. As for Backe, is there any reason to hope that he will be an improvement on what has gone before?
One of the answers that occurred most frequently yesterday -- from Backe himself -- was that "it's too early to talk about that." Fair enough -- Backe has only just arrived in the USA, he has a lot of learning to do. He will quickly be thrust into the draft madness on Thursday -- which, because he can know nothing at all about the players on offer, he will have to leave to his assistants Richie Williams and Des McAleenan.
So, here come the first crucial moves, and Backe will not be involved? Hardly. To imagine that draft choices are crucial is absurd. Backe is better off by far being uninvolved in the draft, which gets more irrelevant with each passing year. If the building up of a team that can compete in MLS -- Backe's obvious and tricky task -- has to rely on draft picks, then he might as well return to Europe post haste.
In between the "too early to say" answers, it was possible to glean some pointers as to what sort of team Backe might be looking for, what sort for soccer the might be playing. It was rather quickly (suspiciously quickly?) agreed that, despite the Scandinavian persuasion now running the Red Bulls (general manager Erik Soler is Norwegian), the team will not play like Norway. No sir, that idea was dismissed almost scornfully by both Soler and Backe. Which is a relief. But when asked about what sort of style he does favor, Backe replied that it was "a little too early" to say, but did give some hints about the sort of players that he likes. The first characteristic that Backe mentioned was "pace." That is not encouraging.
Particularly when it was associated with English Premier League teams as examples. Next came "technical skill -- of course" -- but why did Backe put that in second place? We also learned that the Red Bulls will be playing with a back four, and with "three or four midfielders," and that at least two of the back four should be capable of going forward -- like they do in the Premier League -- and that a team these days has to be "very well-organized" and to be aware of the danger of counterattacks.
Hmmm. Nothing groundbreaking there, though the repeated comparisons with the Premier League are a bit worrying, especially when coupled with Backe's observations on the Spanish La Liga, which he defined as "a possession league,"adding that "too much possession can be boring." Again, it is the emphasis that is worrying, one would have preferred Backe to comment on the obvious faults of not enough possession, rather than the supposed frailties of too much.
But it was when questioned about his experience with Hispanic players -- particularly during his short stint in Mexico as Sven-Goran Eriksson's assistant -- that Backe let himself down badly, revealing a viewpoint that is so typically European, and northern European in particular. A viewpoint that I had thought was surely by now a mere memory.
Backe no doubt felt he was being complimentary to the Mexicans when he said "I was really surprised by the attitude of the players" -- this because he had arrived in Mexico thinking that Mexicans -- "like Southern European players, would not be the most hard-working players." But Backe was "surprised" that this was not the case, and went on to praise the players as technically excellent. This is disturbing. Backe, at age 56, has spent a lifetime involved in soccer. During his life there have been 14 World Cups - and 10 of those have been won by South American or southern European teams. Yet Backe went to Mexico in 2008 still thinking that Latin players might not be "hard-working."
Quite definitely, it is "too early to say" that the mentality of "hard work" above all will pervade Backe's teams -- we shall have to wait and see. One can only hope that his positioning of skill as secondary to pace, that his less than enthusiastic observations on possession soccer, and his negative view of the Latin work rate are mere tendencies that will not turn into basic requirements for the Red Bulls.

Dec. 5, 2013
FORT COLLINS, Colo.--In a battle to the finish, the Colorado State women's basketball team came out victorious over the Loyola Marymount Lions, 70-68. The Rams (5-3, 0-0 MW) led the game 70-68 with 3.5 seconds left on the clock, when the Lions (1-7, 0-0 WCC) responded with a layup in the final seconds of the shot clock, which was reviewed as no good by the referees.
"LMU was pretty energetic tonight," Head Coach Ryun Williams commended tonight. "All we needed as one more free throw, and we're not in those situations. With each close game, we're going to get better, and they're handling each game better."
In the first half of the game, Colorado State was down 25-33 against the Lions. From the field, the Rams were outshot 35.5 to 46.4 percent. Colorado State was able to keep their turnovers down, though, only giving the ball away six times, as opposed to the Lions' 12 turnovers in the first half of the game. Off of those turnovers, the Rams were able to gain 14 points.
"Our shots did start falling, but we started to play more as a team," senior Sam Martin commented. "The first half we went a little individualized; it's still early on in the year and we're going to get better at that, but in the second half we regrouped and played together as a team and that's what really got us going."
Coming out of the half, Colorado State picked up the pace of play tremendously, going on an 11-0 run in the first few minutes of play. In the second half of the game, the Rams improved their field-goal percentage immensely, shooting 55.2 percent.
Martin continued to show her senior leadership as she led the Rams with 20 points, a season high. The 6-2 forward pulled down five rebounds and added four assists. With Martin's massive effort in the paint, Colorado State was able to put up 32 points in the paint, while the Lions had 24 points.
"She did a nice job on the block in the second half," Williams praised. "When we needed a senior to step up, a senior stepped up tonight."
Freshman Ellen Nystrom added 14 points to the Rams final score. Nystrom's layup in the final seconds of the game, followed by a made free-throw shot by sophomore Caitlin Duffy, iced the win for the Rams. Nystrom added four rebounds and four assists.
Junior AJ Newton also added double-digit scoring figures to the Rams total score, putting up 13 points on the night, while also adding four assists and three rebounds. Duffy added seven points for the Rams, as well as five rebounds and one assist.
So far in the 2013-14 season, this is the fifth game the Rams have played that has been decided by five points or less, and Colorado State is now 3-2 in those games.
In last season's game against Loyola Marymount, Colorado State dug a hole too deep to crawl out in Los Angeles, falling 69-52.
Loyola Marymount's largest lead throughout the game was 13 points, tying the Rams largest deficit in a win so far this season.
Colorado State travels one hour south for its final road trip of 2013 to Denver on Sunday. Tipoff at Magness Arena is scheduled for 1 p.m. MT.

Fuck people who think that nuclear technology and weaponry is a common sense issue, and fuck anybody who doesn't understand that our lives are much less affected by war and combat due to the stalemate that mutually assured destruction provides.
Just because my neighbour has a gun doesn't mean i need to so I also feel safe.Although I think you quite simply have not understood my point properly, I stated that if common sense prevailed throughout then there would never have been a need for such weapons as we would all be able to live in harmony if we all applied common sense. Maybe reading it again may help? Our world is full of people who lack enough common sense to even just get along - imagine a world where everyone had common sense and realised the colour of your skin, where you were born or even your religious views should make no difference to anyone else and nor should there be a need to hate people simply because of such things - common sense in a bigger scale than we could ever hope for in a world full of idiots.
FUCK YOU the people who unneicssarily dropped the bomb on civilian targets to test the effects of nuclear weaposn on the populous when they KNEW that Japan was about to surrender. FUCK YOU all the people involved in project PAPER CLIP, project MONARCH, project BLUE BOOK.

Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald was in so much pain due to another hamstring injury sustained during last week's loss in San Francisco that he "could barely bend over" after the game. But even on a short week, it seems like Fitzgerald will be healthy enough to play Thursday versus the Seahawks. He is officially listed as probable after putting in three limited practices from Monday through Wednesday.
Fantasy Analysis:
The opponent, the injury, the lack of practice; they all scream that bad things ahead for Fitzgerald. But remember that he was very questionable to even play against the 49ers, and he still recorded more than 100 yards with a score. If anything, Fitzgerald's designation on the injury report tells us that he is actually in better shape heading into this game.
Then there's the matchup. Richard Sherman is a tremendous player, and Fitzgerald might see him often. But Sherman won't follow Fitz when he moves into the slot. That's where the Pittsburgh product has an advantage. You know the risks of playing Fitzgerald this week, especially with how bad Carson Palmer has been for long stretches this season and the pressure he will undoubtedly face from that Seattle defense. But Fitzgerald is probably a low-end WR2 at worst for Week 7.

Aftermarket HID's for Altitude Pkg - ordered
Getting HID's in my '12 Altitiude Pkg Laredo has been something I've been interested in since before I even placed the order for it. I looked at buying the factory units and having the dealer retrofit them as well as a few other HID kit options.
After reading billybrun's HID DIY thread a few times http://www.jeepgarage.org/f156/hid-projectors-headlamp-retrofit-diy-picture-heavy-40433.html and exploring various other threads here, I finally decided to make a phone call or two and get some parts ordered.
The second call I made turned out to be the only call I should have made, and that was to http://www.theretrofitsource.com
I spoke to Nate TRFS and he was exceptionally helpful and knowledgeable... not to mention a super nice guy. Unlike some of the other HID kit vendors TRFS had everything I needed. Two things were very important to me, one being projector housings as I have no interest in running HID's without projectors, and the other were plug & play harnesses that don't require splicing of the factory harness or extra wiring.
Nate helped me figure out exactly what I wanted, understood why I wanted it, was very honest in his opinions, and didn't try to sell me something I didn't need.
Now I realize I don't have any parts in my hand yet, but so far I'm very pleased and have that warm & fuzzy feeling with TRFS that one always hopes for with a vendor.
I'm expecting the parts sometime next week and will update.
Can you provide the part numbers or the description of everything you ordered?
Re: Aftermarket HID's for Altitude Pkg - ordered
theres a how to here on the forums for retrofitting the oem units
Re: Aftermarket HID's for Altitude Pkg - ordered
Morimoto 3Five AMP Ballasts
Morimoto Mini H1 5.0 Projectors
Morimoto H11 CANbus Harnesses w/high beam splitters
Morimoto 3Five 5000k H1 bulbs
Gatling Gun 2.0 shrouds
Either way I believe this will be a better solution since the parts are significantly cheaper than the OEM route, and from what little I know these should also be a superior in quality.
Re: Aftermarket HID's for Altitude Pkg - ordered
I also recently purchased a 2012 GC w/Altitude Pkg, and so far not having HID's is my only regret. Please take lot's of pictures and update this post when it's finished.
Re: Aftermarket HID's for Altitude Pkg - ordered
I bought the Xtreme digital hid fron xenon depot with canbus adapter for my 12' Altitude. Goes int his weekend. Will post pics....
But still confused if I need to revrse polarity or not.
Subscribed... As a fellow altitude owner I am excited to see how it looks on your ride.

Re: Aftermarket HID's for Altitude Pkg - ordered
Sounds like its going to be a good retrofit please be sure to keep us posted and make a nice DIY thread when your done :-) If it looks even half as good as the other guys that did the retrofit on his orange WK2 its gonna be very nice!!
If I had a Laredo I personally would probably take the easy route myself and just buy a pair of OEM HID headlamps. They are all over ebay and for reasonable prices now. That way you know you wont have any sealing issues, or misalignments or whatever issues occur during retrofits. I know because I have probably done a total of five + retrofits on various cars and they all had their share of difficulties. Regardless though, take your time and dont rush it and dont forget aimimg the projectors before they are finally secured is probably THE most important part. Nothing ruins your day like completeing a retrofit and then finding out a projector is lopsided after everything is done. Been there done that lol ;-)
Have fun with it, cant wait to see pics!

^ Good info on aiming before I button it all up! Hadn't really though about that much.
Attached are the goodies I received from TRS.
I have a new set of Altitude head lamps coming from Just for Jeeps so I don't have to cut up my existing ones, and to minimize down time.
I used the Easy Off trick for chrome removal from the shrouds. Worked unbelievably well. In fact, it worked so well that even though I planned on painting them black, I'm going to leave the black plastic alone. It has a perfect glossy finish that will match the rest of the inner black head lamp housing. Only problem is that one of the shrouds wast made of black plastic and the other was made of light grey plastic! Doh! I called TRS this morning and they are sending me one more shroud made from the same black plastic. They'll just scrape some chrome in a hidden spot to verify before sending it.
You can see both shrouds minutes after spraying on the easy off.
Re: Aftermarket HID's for Altitude Pkg - ordered
Beautiful...I can't wait for the final result!
Re: Aftermarket HID's for Altitude Pkg - ordered
I have a 2012 Altitude and want to purchase the SRT8 Front bumper. Does anyone know if this is a possible thing to do? I see that it is available from Mopar but would all the lighting work? ofcourse I would need to purchase all the lighting too. Thanks.
Re: Aftermarket HID's for Altitude Pkg - ordered
Sullyz are you going to try and bake these open or are you just going to cut off the lip too?
For now the SRT parts are not pick and choose.
If you add the front bumper then you will have to add the fender flares that go with the bumper.
If you add the fender flares you will have to add the side skirts
and the viscious cycle goes all the way back.
the only SRT parts you can install with no modification are the Rear hatch spoiler and the hood.

LUKOIL has been operating in Kazakhstan since 1995. The Company is a party to several onshore production projects and a member of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC). LUKOIL has been investing substantial sums both in production projects and in the region's social development.
Company Presence
|LUKOIL Overseas Karachaganak B.V.
|Production of oil, gas and condensate and liquid hydrocarbons
|LUKOIL Overseas Kumkol B.V.
Additional exploration, development and operation of oil fields, transportation and marketing of raw stock and refined products
|LLP LUKOIL Lubricants Central Asia
Kumkol project
The Kumkol field is located in the Kyzylorda region in Kazakhstan, 200 km away from the city of Kyzylorda. It is after joining the development project for this field back in 1995 that LUKOIL began its operations in Kazakhstan. The field is developed on the basis of a subsoil use contract signed in April 1996.
Karachaganak project
The Karachaganak field is located in the West-Kazakhstan region, 140 km away from the city of Uralsk. It is one of the world's largest oil-gas-condensate fields. LUKOIL joined the project in 1997.
The field is developed under the Final Production Sharing Agreement (FPSA) made in November 1997 effective for a period of 40 years.
Tengiz projectThe Tengiz field (one of the world's largest) and Korolevskoye field that are part of the Tengiz project are located in the Atyrau region in Kazakhstan, 120 km away from the city of Atyrau. LUKOIL joined the project in December 1997. The fields are developed under the agreement made effective in April 1993 for a period of 40 years. Today, all the project's crude oil is shipped via the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC).
Caspian Pipeline Consortium
The Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) is the only privately owned mainland pipeline in Russia and Kazakhstan. The pipeline runs from the field of Tengiz to Novorossiysk (Russia) across the Atyrau region in Kazakhstan and four constituent entities of the Russian Federation: the Astrakhan Region, Republic of Kalmykia, Stavropol Region and Krasnodar Region. The project agreement was signed in December 1996, while the pipeline was commissioned in October 2001. The pipeline is over 1.5 ths. km long and 1,020 mm in diameter. Its basic annual throughput capacity exceeds 28 mln tons.
The upgrading and use of specialized additives enabled the Company to pump about 35 mln tons of oil through CPC in 2013, and an all-time high of more than 40 mln tons of oil in 2014. The ongoing extension project is designed to increase the pipeline's throughput capacity to 67 mln tons (76 mln tons with flow additives).
LUKOIL began its operations in Kazakhstan: Yuzhneftegaz (Kazakhstan) and LUKOIL set up a joint venture, i.e. Kumkol-LUKOIL СJSC (at present AO Turgai Petroleum) to produce oil at the Kumkol field.
LUKOIL joined the Karachaganak project.
LUKOIL joined the Tengiz project.
LUKOIL opened its office in Astana.
LUKOIL joined five hydrocarbons development projects in Western Kazakhstan, i.e. Alibekmola and Kozhasai in the Aktyubinsk region, Karakuduk, Northern Buzachi and Arma in the Mangistau region (LUKOIL withdrew from these projects in 2015).
LUKOIL received the Kazakh President's award "Paryz" as the best social project.
LUKOIL received an award of the Tanym Kazakh Civil Forum as the best social project.
Memorandum of Cooperation was signed between PJSC LUKOIL and Nazarbaev University in Astana.
LUKOIL received the Kazakh President's Award "Paryz" as the best corporate citizen.
LUKOIL announced a closed a deal with Sinopec selling LUKOIL's 50% stake in Caspian Investment Resources Ltd. that through a number of joint ventures holds different stakes in four development projects in Kazakhstan, i.e. Alibekmola and Kozhasai, Arman, Karakuduk and Northern Buzachi.
Charity and sponsorship are an integral part of LUKOIL's community-centered business in Kazakhstan. The focus of the Company's social policies in Kazakhstan is on providing care for local residents in the regions of its operations and improving the quality of living. LUKOIL launched its small business development program Akniet and provides support to WWII veterans, disabled individuals, orphans, children from low-income families, health care and sports organizations, regional charity foundations, museums and on-stage performance groups.
Between 2007 and 2013, LUKOIL put forward a social partnership program titled "Aray" (Dawn) covering the Mangitau and Aktyubinsk regions in Kazakhstan, thus making it possible for any rural resident (as long as he or she is a Kazakh citizen) to get on a competitive basis a free grant to start or develop their own business.
Over the six years of the program, the Company reviewed over 6,000 applications filed by rural residents of the Mangistau and Aktyubinsk regions. Partnerships with authorities at all levels in rural populated centers resulted in the creation of 600 new small businesses and individual entrepreneurs offering all sorts of services in the rural areas.
In 2008, the Aray Program received the Kazakh President's award "Paryz" as the best social project while in 2009, it was marked with an award of the Tanym Kazakh Civil Forum.
In 2012, LUKOIL was awarded a "Paryz" as the best corporate citizen, primarily for its social activities, in particular the Aray Program.
In 2013, the Company launched a new social project titled "Akniet" (Good Intention), now in Kazakhstan's Kyzylorda region. It relies on the same concept as Aray, however the focus is on social entrepreneurship. What makes the program special is the active involvement of socially vulnerable segments of the population (mothers of many children, unemployed or disabled individuals, re-settlers) for whom bank loans are hard to get. Selection of Akniet contestants covered six categories: "Social Entrepreneur", "Innovation", "Applied Arts", "Care", "Initiative", and "Goodness".
Starting from the project launch, the residents of the Kyzylorda region have submitted over 3.5 thousand applications and received 270 grants (in 2015 alone, 94 residents were awarded Akniet grants). This resulted in the emergence of dozens of small businesses (bakeries, cafes, pharmacies, car service stations, tailor shops, hairdresser's parlors, dentist's rooms, consumer electronics service centers) and the creation of hundreds of new jobs.

BMW Voice Commands
Hi Everyone...new member here. I am very close to pulling the trigger on a nicely equipped black sapphire/black full leather 650GC. I am coming out of a '12 Audi A8 and had a question/concern about the voice command (VC) in the BMW.
The Audi has an amazing infotainment system including a VC system that is great. For example, I could hit the VC steering wheel button and say "Dial John Smith mobile", the system displays the info on the screen and asks "Would you like to dial the number?". While the system is responding, I would hit the VC button again (which interrupts the system's feedback) and say "yes". That's it. It's now dialing this contact's mobile number.
The contact directory form my iPhone is loaded into the system each time I start the car so I never had to make any sort of entries.
When I test drove the 650GC on Friday, I paired my iPhone and attempted the same type of scenario. It wouldn't work. It would bring up my redial list.
Is the BMW system not capable? Am I doing something wrong? The salesman wasn't sure so I am turning to the forum for help. Thanks in advance.
I don't know the answer to your question since my GC isn't here yet, but I am sure someone will chime in soon.
I am wondering why you are getting rid of your A8. I was thinking of getting an S8 at one point but was drawn to the looks of the GC. Was there something you didn't like about the A8 or did you just want something new?
Funny you should ask....
I have a S8 on order due at the end of the year. Here's the problem...the lease program is a total joke. I need to lease the car since I need the write off. Even at $500 over invoice, the S8 payment is around $600 more than the GC.
The MSRP on the S8 is $114,195. The GC is $108,745. It's a matter of principle at this point for me.
I loved my Audi for many reasons, but it's too slow and cushy for me. I wanted a little more fun. I sold the A8 yesterday so I need a car since my other car is not a daily driver.
I also considered the CLS 63 AMG, but those are like needles in a haystack. Virtually none around. I drove the CLS 550 which really surprised me since I found it virtually as quick as my previous CLS 55. IMO the CLS 550 also handled quite a bit better than the GC. Much less body roll and a smaller feel to the car. I don't know why, but something about the CLS 550 just doesn't do it for me.
I also really like the 5th seat since I have 4 kids. It's infrequent that I have all of them in my car (we have a QX-56 for that), but once in a while it may happen. That's another draw to the GC.
I love the look of the GC and think the interior is absolutely amazing, but the handling and infotainment system might be a killer for me. I want to like the car more since I love the look so much. Hopefully I will get some answers that will allow me to move forward.
I don't know if you have time to wait, but the m6 gran coupe could possibly fix both your handling and infotainment issue since it will have the upgraded system. Although I am guessing the current model can do what your asking, since I had range rovers from 06 that could do that and the range rover infotainment systems are always behind the times.
Can't wait. Already freaking out and I just sold my Audi yesterday. However, you are correct that should resolve all the issues and then some.
The current VC system does seem to be lacking. The new system should be the fix, which is why I think BMW is rolling it out. It should hit the GC soon but it doesn't sound like you can wait.
Will the new system be available on previously purchased cars? I would hope since it should only be a software update. When is it supposed to come out? Thanks!
It is a combination of new hardware and software so I don't think all the features will be reverse compatible, if any. More details here -
I'm checking to see if I can get a concrete date when it will hit the GC. There have been some speculation dates but my sources have said those are incorrect.
There are companies like this though that offer retrofits, so hopefully we could purchase it from them sooner or later. http://www.bimmerretrofit.com/portal/shop/
I am guessing it will only be a new combo box, I doubt the screen is any different.
The screen might not be (cannot confirm) but the idrive control is, as is the processor. Is the combo box the "computer" that runs iDrive?
How much does the combo box run? Seems like that would be an expensive replacement part.
I didn't know there was too iDrive controller options, must have missed that.
The current U.S cars that got an upgrade only got the combo box upgrade, supposedly the itouch upgrade will start rolling out on some my2014's in the U.S.
I have no clue what the new combo box will cost but here is the price for the current one.

My dog has a rash due to his collar. How do I treat it?

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
I am not sure what type of collar your using, if it is nylon some dogs can be allergic so maybe switching to a leather one may help. I would try and keep a collar off him until the neck heals, maybe you could get him a harness for now. You didn't say how bad the rash was so only you can decide whether a appointment is needed now for your fur pal. If you decide to wait and see I would at least wash it with an antibacterial soap and try to keep him from scratching it. If he does start to scratch at it, put socks on his hind legs (I know it is funny, but it does work) to stop his nails from making the rash worse. If it looks like it is getting worse or possibly infected a vet visit is in order. Hope he feels better very soon.
♥ DEOGIE ♥ answered on 12/1/08. Helpful? / 2
I agree that you may want to switch to a harness until the rash heals. Also if your dog swims a lot you may want to use leather instead of nylon because it dries quicker. A warm, moist area like your dogs neck under his collar will only breed bacteria.
If the skin looks really sore you can check your drugstore for non-toxic lotion (look in the baby section, soothing creams for diaper rash might even help), many of them reduce itching or act as antiseptics but you have to assume your dog will lick it, and dogs have very sensitive skin so it might be best just to get something from a vet if you can afford it.

Fiberglass,JB Weld and other two part when activatied create on heat source once combined from their chemical reaction.For example mix part A with part B then you will feel a heat develop.The tempature around the product can effect the curing times of said product.
When it is hot outside I will use less cream in my body filler mix and when it is cold outside I use a little more.
Long explanation short....JB Weld is a two part mix that hardens from a chemical reaction of the two parts.The enviromental tempature around JBWeld will either slow it down or speed up the curing process.
Hope this helps
Oh ,I noticed you are getting fibergalss(resign)..remember the more liquid activator you add to the resign the less work time you have before the resign begins to cure and harden.

Kimber's been replacing a lot of slide stops lately, if you're getting premature slide lock, you might want to give them a call and have them go ahead and send you a new slide stop.
So I recently picked up a new kimber tactical pro II. I have been reading alot about peoples personal experinces with them and talked to several owners. Every person I have talked to said they have never had any problems with them, some of whom own several. Unfortunely none of these people are close friends, and I don't want to hound someone about meeting me and letting shoot their guns. So I decided to go for one and hoped I got one of the "never had the first problem" guns. After getting home I noticed that kimber only gives u one mag. At first I was slightly upset I didn't get another for what I was paying, but after shooting the first 150 .... I was happy to only have the one. I have 3 Wilson's in a .45 and had them at the range too of course to test them out. The kimber mag never wanted to load the last round and failed to load 5 times other than the last round. The Wilson's had one bad feed out of the 150. The second trip to the range was only 100 rounds and only with the Wilson mags. I had 2 non feeds ..... When I say non feed, the slide stuck open with the round still in the magazine. The slide isn't touching the round either. I just pull the slide back and it's good to go. That is the only issuse I am having. I, for some reason, am more accurate with this 4" barrelled kimber than I am with a SA .45 with a 5" barrel. It's me and not the guns causing this, maybe it's just me believing what I have read about kimbers. But I am going to finish breaking it in a few wks and see how it's going. Might have to have a little work done on the gun. But it's been fun and hopefully I can get the kinks out. Because I really like the look and feel of all the kimbers I have held.

Spoiler alert: this review reveals the plot (but it's pretty awesome!)
I was really surprised by this book. It's not the sort of thing I would usually read, however as the book progressed I found myself I totally taken aback.
It's a story of two girls living in Tasmania, Becky and Hannah, although it is Hannah telling the story. When Hannah is about six, Becky comes to stay for two days while her dad stays travels to Blackwood. One day, they set out on a boat trip for a picnic with Hannah's parents. All is well until on the way home a torrential storm breaks out and the boat is overturned. Hannah is about to be pulled under by the current until, suddenly, something tugs at her wrist and pulls her onto land. To her greatest surprise it is a tiger. Becky too has managed to save herself, however Hannah's parents have both drowned. They follow the Tiger back to it's lair, which eventually becomes their home. At the lair there is another tiger too, this one being a male.
Over time they learn to live like the tigers; they sleep through the day and hunt through the night, eating only raw meat, and gradually loose their speech, they walk on all fours with no clothes and learn to communicate using growls and snuffles. This becomes their way of life.
Meanwhile Becky's father has been searching wildly for his daughter. After more than five years he finally discovers them, only they are barley human, with blood stained lips, matted hair, and are walking on all fours. But, somehow Mr.Carsons manages to tie these two creatures to his horse with help from his mate Ernie and they set of home. He tries to teach them how to behave like humans and it seems to be working, until one day he shoots a tiger trying to eat his sheep. This tiger happens to be Dave, the male tiger, who raised Hannah and Becky and they refuse to learn any more human traits. The drama escalates wildly from this point.
In desperate attempts, he sends Becky to a boarding school and Hannah on a whaling boat trip because he believes they are bad for each other, but to do this Hannah has to pretend she is a boy and becomes Harry. However she still has a wonderful time on her boat trip and catches a huge whale to sell! Back on land though, Becky is very unhappy. The other girls mock her and she finds it hard to learn. Finally she decides to runaway to the Tigers lair where Corrina, the female tiger, still lives.
Distraught, Becky's father and Ernie set off to find her, using Hannah to track down the lair. Much to her distress they use Hannah to lure Becky to them as Becky still despises her father. Once the trap has worked Mr.Carsons aims a rifle at Corinna and threatens to shoot unless Becky comes with them. Meanwhile Becky attacks Hannah thinking she lured her into the trap. Just as Becky's father is about pull the trigger Becky leaps in front of the tiger and Mr.Carson shoots his daughter.
I loved this book; it was very original, the plot was well thought out, the little woodcut illustrations are beautiful and the front cover is very effective too. However I don't think the swearing was necessary because the book was aimed at younger children and there are many alternative words. Also the font was quite large and it had pictures, so I thought it was meant for younger children, but it was quite a grown up topic really. The accent was great - I really liked it, but it was a shame the author didn't always manage to sustain it. My favorite part was the first page - the voice was really believable and it made me want to read on.
The characters really touched me and I learnt a lot about survival and the way tigers live - the author must have spent some time researching their behavior. I was inspired by the girls will to live and Hanna's bravery and courage also the way the bond between the girls developed throughout the book and became almost impossible to break. I would recommend this book to anyone aged ten and over who loves a bit of adventure.

Publication Acceptance Date: 6/25/2005
Publication Date: 12/15/2005
Citation: Weathersbee III, A.A., Boykin, L.M., Katsar, C.S. 2005. Cytosolic and extracellular cu zn superoxide dismutases from lysiphlebus testaceipes. Entomological Society of America Annual Meeting. December 15, 2005. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: The superoxide dismutases (SODs) are antioxidant enzymes that protect aerobic organisms from the damaging effects of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Within the Metazoa, there are three recognized SOD families with two possible arrangements of metal ligands, either Mn, or Cu and Zn ions, at the active site of the molecule. The Mn form (SOD2) of the enzyme is localized within the mitochondrial matrix of cells and its structure differs greatly from the Cu, Zn SODs discussed here. The Cu, Zn SODs exist either as a cytosolic form (SOD1) within the cell or an extracellular form (SOD3) that is secreted from the cell. We have cloned and sequenced cDNAs encoding all three forms of SOD from the aphid parasitoid Lysiphlebus testaceipes. Until recently, only representatives of the SOD1 and SOD2 families had been described in insects. Evidence for an extracellular Cu, Zn SOD3 in insects was first reported in 2004. For parasites, such as L. testaceipes, these enzymes can provide additional protection against oxygen-mediated defense mechanisms of its host; and therefore, may be considered virulence factors. The protein for L. testaceipes SOD1 is 151 aa long, while the protein precursor for L. testaceipes SOD3 is 172 aa long and contains a 16 aa secretory signal that is cleaved from the amino terminal to yield the mature protein. We provide homology models of SOD1 and SOD3 from L. testaceipes that demonstrates remarkable conservation of enzyme structure among members of the Cu, Zn SOD gene families.

I got a breast reduction when I was 18. My cup size was 42 DD and I weighed 150 lbs and stand 5'10". I am now 28 and I have gradually increased in my cup size to a 36DD. I've only gained 5 lbs. I must be one of those rare cases as its being described. However, the woman who recommended me to my doctor has had a total of 4 reductions! Her weight has jumped around a little bit, but not so much that one can blame her diet. I think some of us are just born to be well endowed.

2008 Wimbledon Betting Odds: Roger Federer favored to win
It's that time of year again for the 2008 Wimbledon, which takes place June 23-July 6, at the All England Lawn Tennis Club, in London England. Roger Federer has been announced as the top seeded player followed by second seed Rafael Nadal and third seed Novak Djokovic. Federer will be trying for his sixth consecutive Wimbledon Title. Oddsmakers at Sportsbetting.com have Roger Federer as 1/1 odds favorite to win the 2008 Wimbledon for the sixth time. Get your 2008 Wimbledon Prediction in now at Sportsbetting.com
There's no surprise that Roger Federer is number one at this year's Wimbledon, where he is a five time consecutive winner and considered the best grass court player ever. He is currently tied with Bjorn Borg for the most Wimbledon Titles, one more and he's all-time champ. Nadal may have beaten him in straight sets at the 2008 French Open this month, but at Wimbledon, Federer has won the last two finals over Nadal. Federers last loss at the All England Club was in 2002 when he lost to Mario Ancic in the first round. Since then he has been undefeated here in 35 matches, winning 102 sets and losing just eight, and 671 games to 394. Federer has been defeated by six players on the ATP circuit this year and he's only won one tournament this year, the Gerry Weber Open in Halle, Germany. Federer judged against his own high standards, has had a disappointing year. Oddsmakers at Sportbetting.com still favor Roger Federer at 1/1 odds to win Wimbledon.
Rafael Nadal lost to Federer in the 2007 final last year 7-6 (9-7) 4-6 7-6 (7-3) 2-6 6-2 in a grueling three hour and 45 minute match. The year before that Nadal lost Federer in four sets, so the Spaniard is improving on grass. Especially after his dominance of Federer at the 2008 French Open, Nadal must feel he can get closer to his first Wimbledon Title this year. Nadal is 3-0 against Federer this year but all his wins have been on clay. Rafael Nadal is listed at 2/1 odds to win.
Novak Djokovic, the Australian Open champion, has beaten Federer twice in the past 12 months. He beat him in the final of the Australian Open, 7-5, 6-3, 7-6, and in the final at the 2007 ATP Masters Series Canada. They last faced each other at the 2008 ATP Masters Series Monte Carlo which Djokovic had to retire from in the second set. Novak Djokovic is listed at 3/1 odds to win.
Sixth seed Andy Roddick, twice runner up, is one of the strongest grass court players on the circuit. He's played in seven Wimbledon's and he made the finals in 2004-05. He lost in the quarter finals last year and is 26-6 on the circuit this year. Andy Roddick is listed at 15/1 odds to win.
Other Notables:
- Fernando Gonzalez 100 – 1
- Nikolay Davydenko 100 – 1
- Robin Soderling 100 – 1

Giving It All Away
The Story of William W. Cook and His Michigan Law Quadrangle
Publication Year: 2011
Published by: University of Michigan Press
Title Page, Copyright, Dedication
I couldn 't possibly have completed this book without the help of my supportive community at the University of Michigan Law School, to whom I will be forever grateful. I am also tremendously thankful to many around the country who gave me tours through William Cook's former stomping grounds, clued me in to family histories, and guided me through archives, court records, genealogies, and American legal history...
1. Will Sue to Break W. W. Cook's Will
June 3, 193 0, is the hottest day of the year (so far ). William Cook, once one of Manhattan's wealthiest and most powerful lawyers, is lying hostage on a small metal cot that has been placed on a worn Oriental rug in the dining room of his dilapidated old house in Port Chester, New York, overlooking Long Island Sound. His captors, though tiny, are overwhelming...
2. 1858 - 82: Hillsdale childhood, student days in Ann Arbor
Surrounding the column are numerous tombstones and memorial tablets for fifteen of his children, two of their spouses, and nine other descendants and their spouses. The cemetery fairly glowed on a lovely late July day in 2006. Sunshine filtered through the deep green oaks and lighter maples, and the gravestones were easy to read in the summer light. The names and dates on Cook family tombstones and a review of census and other local records...
3. 1882−98: The ambitious young New York lawyer, the brilliant writer on corporate law, the wooer and husband of Ida Olmstead, the indispensable employee of John Mackay
Will Cook was ambitious. He took himself from sleepy Hillsdale in southern Michigan, by way of Ann Arbor for college and law school, to New York. He must have been agog when he first arrived in Manhattan at age twentyfour in the late summer of 1882...
4. 1898–1910: Divorcing Ida, thriving at the Mackay Companies, losing a boss and mentor, becoming a man of property, establishing enduring friendships, making philanthropic plans for the University of Michigan
By 1898 Will Cook is setting off in a new direction. For one thing, he is now a divorced man. For the rest of his life, he will describe himself as "single" rather than "divorced." Although it is not possible to ever know what happened between Will and Ida in their marriage, it is hard to not feel sorry for Ida. She is leaving the marriage without any assets, to say the least. As the years go by, Will Cook will become ever more successful and wealthy; Ida will become ever more dependent on her family for emotional and financial support...
5. 1910−19: Rapport with President Hutchins, less rapport with Dean Bates, meeting Myrtle White, making Michigan commitments, honoring a revered mother, moving into an elegant Manhattan town house, a possible case of heartbreak, continuing a distinguished
By 1910 it has dawned on Will Cook that he can use his influence and burgeoning wealth to have a huge impact on the University of Michigan. He is beginning to understand that the more he gives, the more control he will have. Most important, he is deciding that private giving to a public university is something on which he can lead the way. As time goes on, Cook will focus his own private giving on Michigan Law
6. John T. Creighton: Trustee or toad?
Dean Henry Bates did not like John Creighton, even though Creighton was a 1910 graduate of Michigan Law. By 1924 Bates feared that William Cook was going to force Creighton onto the Law School faculty. By April 1925, he understood that Creighton was to have a high salaried position with Cook. In July 1925, he told Regent James Murfin that Creighton is "smoother than we are and not in this affair for his health." Writing later that July to his close friend Harvard law dean Roscoe Pound, he called Creighton...
7. 1920−27: A bad diagnosis, researching a new book, the opening of the Lawyers Club, Dean Bates's endless missteps, the final break with Blooming Grove, Law Quad politics bedevil the wise-hearted men at Michigan, Clarence Cook Little arrives in Ann Arbor
In 1920 William Cook is diagnosed with tuberculosis and, at the advice of his doctor, begins to spend more time at his Port Chester estate. He turns his attention away from his legal career and his writings on corporate law and begins the deep research he will do for his final book...
8. 1928−30: Agonizing over the fate of Port Chester, President Little's appalling lapse, an exasperated Regent Murfin picks up his pen, Cook takes command and resolves to finish the Law Quad, a funeral is held in Port Chester, Trustee Creighton makes misc
This chapter begins by very briefly turning away from the machinations surrounding Dean Bates, President Little, and William Cook that are giving the Michigan regents fits, to learn more about Cook's beloved Port Chester estate. We must consider the agonizing decisions he is facing about what will become of Port Chester after his death. Once we do that, we can return to the fray in Ann Arbor...
9. 1931-35:A whole lot of litigation, Trustee Creighton obfuscates and delays, Regent Murfin continues as hero, Myrtle White miraculously reappears, Ida's suit settles, Hutchins Hall opens, dedication day for the Law Quadrangle, the Port Chester lawsuit e
We are nearing the end of our story. What is left to tell about is a whole lot of litigation, which, after much uncertainty, wrangling, and frustration (especially affecting the long-suffering Regent Murfin), successfully concludes on Michigan's behalf...
10. The Fate of Everyone Else
What happened to the key people in this story who survived Cook? What became of the Mackay Companies, Cook's Manhattan town house, and his Port Chester estate? Did the University of Michigan eventually receive all of the residual parts of his estate?...
William Cook was very clear about what he wanted to do with his fortune. The Tenth Part of his will states, Believing, as I do, that American institutions are of more consequence than the wealth or power of the country; and believing that the preservation and development of these institutions have been, are, and will continue to be under the leadership of the legal profession; and believing...
