"To me my hammer!"
"To me my hammer!"
By the 13th Crusader
If you haven't heard by now, Thor Odinson is now unworthy of wielding of the enchanted Norse Uru hammer Mjölnir. He will soon be replaced by a woman. She'll be recognized as the new God of Thunder, while Thor Odinson will walk around stripped of the power and title that was his by birthright.
Marvel's future plans for Thor have certainly garnered the attention of dedicated fans, that thus far, have had mixed reactions towards the upcoming changes. Why is this so? Shouldn't we all be embracing this type of change or any change for that matter? Is this another Marvel publicity stunt to increase sales? Shouldn't we all be excited?
The answers in this case are not easy ones by any means.
Let's begin by exploring this situation in greater historical detail.
Longtime Thor fans will remember that this wouldn't be the first time a woman would come to possess Thor's power or his mantle. Mjölnir has been handled by a female before, but usually by women belonging to any of Marvel's countless alternate realities.
Let's take a closer look at the women who have achieved Thor status in the past.
Jane Foster
In What If? Vol. 1 #10 (Aug 1978), the vacationing Donald Blake traveled to Norway with Jane Foster. During a walk along a Norwegian coast, Don's cane fell down the side of a cliff. Jane decided to go after it and then noticed several caves nearby. She proceeded into one of the caves and discovered a secret chamber, and in it, laid a primitive walking stick. Jane grabbed it with the intention of giving it to Don since she wasn't able to retrieve his personal cane. Unable to find her way out of a dark cavern, Jane grew frustrated and used the stick to strike a boulder; in doing so, the power of Thor befell her.
Jane would go on to name herself "Thordis" in this reality and she experienced many of the same adventures that the mainstream Thor did during his early Journey Into Mystery days, by battling the likes of Loki, the Radioactive Man, the Lava Men, Cobra and Mr. Hyde; she even joined the Avengers.
However, she was not well received in Asgard by Odin.
Odin banished Thordis from Asgard; but not before she was hit on by the Warrior's Three.
Thordis returned to the Golden Realm when it was faced with the threat of Mangog, whose alien race was previously defeated by the Asgardians. Mangog wanted to exact his revenge upon the Norse gods by seeking out the Odinsword and draining it of all its power. If Mangog were to succeed, it would initiate the utter destruction of the known universe, otherwise known as Ragnarok among the Norse gods.
The timing of Mangog's appearance on Asgard couldn't have been any worse, for the All-Father was entrenched in his Odinsleep, leaving Asgard susceptible to attack. Thordis and the Asgardians struggled against the powerful Mangog until Thordis used her powers to awaken Odin from his slumber. Odin turned the tide of the great battle towards the Asgardian's favor and upon Mangog's defeat, he asked Thordis to surrender Mjölnir, as he proclaimed the actual Thor was ready to emerge once more.
Odin rewarded Jane Foster's heroism by granting her immortality; he also offered himself. Jane married Odin and she became the new queen of Asgard….and Thor's new step-mother.
Storm has found herself immersed in Asgardian power several times. Whether it has been in the mainstream continuity or in an alternate reality, she is perhaps, the most recognized woman in Marvel (for now) to have ever wielded a hammer.
It all started with the New Mutants Special Edition #1 in 1985 when Loki was intrigued and physically attracted to by a then powerless Storm. Motivated by his defeat at the hands of Storm and her companions, the X-Men, and their Canadian allies, Alpha Flight, Loki hatched a plan to tempt her into becoming a goddess while simultaneously offering to her a chance of reviving her full command of the elements.
Loki summoned the Enchantress to assist with setting his plan in motion.
Storm found herself before Loki's presence and he began to work his "charm".
Storm's predicament took full flight in the giant-sized X-Men Annual # 9 (1985).
Storm fell prey to Loki's devious machinations after he presented her with a unique gift; an enchanted hammer similar to Thor's. This hammer, known as Stormcaster, permitted Storm to tap into the Asgardian magics and allowed her to command vast power.
At Loki's behest, Storm tested her newfound gift on her fellow teammates. After nearly burning Wolverine to a crisp, Hela appeared and announced that she was there to claim his fleeing soul.
Storm finally began to realize that she was being deceived by Loki and attacked the Asgardian goddess of Hel.
Hela retreated from the onslaught which allowed Storm to turn her full attention towards Loki; ultimately, she relinquished Stormcaster and returned to Earth.
What If Vol. 2 #12 (Apr 1990) essentially picks up where the giant-sized X-Men Annual # 9 left off. Instead of leaving Asgard for Earth, as she did in the mainstream continuity, Storm couldn't give up her hammer and all the perks that came with it.
Loki brought Storm before an assembly of Asgardians to plead his case for making her their realm's new leader and protector in Thor's absence. During this time, no one other than Loki knew that Thor was on Earth trapped in the form of a frog; courtesy of one of Loki's spells.
Storm wasted no time in responding to the Asgardian's dilemma.
Storm found the transformed Thor and battled him as Loki suggested.
After their battle, Thor regained his true form and stood by Storm's side when Hela launched an offensive that resulted in casualties for both Asgardians and mutants alike.
Hela was destroyed.
Since Thor held a dual role in protecting Earth and Asgard, he decreed that Storm would be Asgard's official ruler whenever he was absent and proclaimed her a goddess of thunder. As a notation, Storm's enchanted hammer in this reality was known as Storm-Bringer, not Stormcaster.
In X-Men Millennial Visions Vol.1 #2 (Jan 2002) we learn of another Storm from an alternate reality who became attracted to Thor; however, Thor's ex-girlfriend Tarene (a.k.a. Thor Girl) was still in love with the thunder god. Loki casted several spells that drove Tarene to confront Storm. Tarene was killed and Storm picked up her hammer and became Thor's equal.
So, we arrive to this point with Storm's Asgardian experiences and I have yet to mention if she has ever held the coveted Mjölnir. I will now.
In Marvel's mainstream continuity, Thor went to visit Storm in Wakanda in X-Men To Serve and Protect #3 (Mar 2011).
Thor presented Storm with a box he found in Asgard, and in it laid Stormcaster.
Thor finally learned then that Stormcaster was created by Loki. Naturally, Thor was reluctant in letting Storm regain the mystical mallet.
Thor's plea went unheard and Storm was once again possessed by Loki's enchantments.
Storm attacked the thunder god and a battle between them ensued. Storm was able to get close enough to Thor to get her hands on Mjölnir; she then used it to destroy Stormcaster.
What If? Vol. 2 #66 (Oct 1994) featured Rogue during her stint as a member of the New Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. In this tale, she absorbs every iota of Thor's power and abilities. Unfortunately, Rogue's actions in this parallel existence rendered the thunder god so helpless that it turned him into a lifeless husk.
Naturally, Odin was overwhelmed with grief following the loss of his son. He commanded Balder, Sif and the Warrior's Three to quell the threat that Rogue posed to the Earth.
Ever the mischief, Loki appeared to Rogue and convinced her to travel to Asgard with him. Once they arrived, Loki began feeding Rogue lies and enlightened her with a need to protect her brand new might from the rest of the Asgardians.
Loki's scheme reached fruition, when Rogue and a legion of his allies invaded Asgard City.
Rogue confronted Odin but hesitated to strike him. She began to realize that her latest actions caused nothing but turmoil, leaving her with a profound sense of emptiness and insignificance.
Thor's essence manifested itself within Rogue's conflicted mind. Thor persuaded her to seek a life of her own, instead of living out an illusion. He urged her to come to terms with the responsibility of upholding the principles associated with being Thor.
Thor's poignant words inspired Rogue to resist Loki's influence over her.
Loki was defeated and the threat to Asgard was gone. Rogue officially became the new Thor; much to Odin's delight.
The new Thor traversed the skies with an updated inscription on Mjölnir.
Wonder Woman
Even a non-Marvel female character has had the brief honor of holding Mjölnir: Wonder Woman. She did so in Marvel vs. DC #2 (Mar 1996).
However, the ultra-honorable Amazon relinquished Mjölnir prior to her challenge against the mutant Storm.
Wonder Woman was shocked when her decision to take the high road, backfired…get it? "Shocked?"…sigh.
What If? Vol. 2 #114 (Nov 1998) was a story based on Marvel's participants in the Secret Wars, who never left Battleworld; instead, they elected to call a truce amongst each other. Heroes and villains alike settled down to start new lives and families. Born in this alternate reality was Sarah Rogers, the daughter of Captain America and Rogue. Yes, Rogue. How was that possible? Well, allow me to indulge you with an epigrammatic clarification of how this came to be. This adaptation of Rogue couldn't suppress the consciousness of Carol Danvers, which in turn, allowed Carol to gain control over Rogue's deadly abilities. There, done.
Sarah Rogers eventually becomes Crusader, a member of the Battleworld Avengers, when Doctor Doom's son, Vincent Von Doom, a.k.a. Malefactor, made it known that he intended to follow in his father's footsteps by taking over the planet. Crusader picked up her father's legendary shield and confronted the would-be-conqueror. During her battle with Malefactor, she was hurled to the site of the original Secret Wars battlefield.
Crusader returned with a surprise for Doom Jr.
The story came to a close with Crusader finding a way to reach Earth along with her fellow teammates. Upon their arrival, they're amazed by the sheer number of Sentinels swarming the planet. Unable to return to Battleworld, the young heroes remained on Earth and assumed the mission of ridding the Earth of the Sentinels.
Earth X Thor
The Thor of Earth X was actually a being of alien origin that was genetically altered by the space-spanning Celestials. The alien would eventually traverse the cosmos and find its way to Earth. Upon the alien's arrival, it was manipulated by a human to become Thor. This Thor had many of the same adventures as the mainstream Thor – except for Odin's lesson in humility. Loki was able to convince Odin that turning Thor into a woman would humble him even further as he would be perceived as weaker and constantly hounded by men. Odin agreed and it was done – Thor was transformed into a woman.
Thor's quandaries contained a clause – should she return to Asgard and tell Odin that he was tricked by Loki into changing Thor into a woman, she would never be able to return to Earth, giving Loki free reign over humanity. Thus, Thor's silence on the matter was all but guaranteed.
The Earth X Thor never held an actual "Mjölnir". Instead it was revealed that her hammer was but an extension of her alien physique that mimicked the powers and abilities of the mainstream continuity Thor. This version of Thor was modeled after Thordis (Jane Foster).
Black Widow
In issue #3 of the What If? Age of Ultron series (Apr 2014), we learn of Thor's final battle with the immensely powerful Midgard Serpent.
Thor died and the Midgard Serpent remained loose on Earth; it appeared that all was lost for humanity….until the Black Widow arrived.
Up against impossible odds, Black Widow reached for Mjölnir and received Thor's power.
The Black Widow confronted the Midgard Serpent and defeated it.
So as you can see, a female Thor has been seen before. The concept is not an original one at all. I want to make sure you fans out there know that.
However, as a longtime fan and collector of Thor myself, I too have a mixed outlook towards the upcoming changes. Before anyone says "oh, is it because Thor's going to be a woman?" NO; not in the least bit. It has nothing to do with the sex of the character. That's stupid and childish.
I grew up but became accustomed to watching Thor Odinson being the primary Thor. I say primary because he's been replaced before. In addition to the women I outlined above, I can remember reading the Beta Ray Thor saga; I remember tolerating Thunderstrike and the Thor Corps, and I don't want to leave out "the one and future Thor", Dargo etc. In the end, we've seen a plenty of people showcasing the power of Thor; male and female, this or in another reality. Some were successful; others maybe not so much. Ultimately, I don't care who Thor is, male, female or alien, as long as they are worthy of being "a" Thor and the stories are well written and drawn, I'll buy it. Otherwise, in my opinion, it will be a major fail and a waste of my time and hard-earned money.
What I do applaud is that the upcoming changes will take place in the mainstream continuity. I like the concept of Thor Odinson losing his honor but someone else gaining it. That makes for a great plot and it should grab plenty of interest, especially with the recent events of the Original Sin storyline.
But, the aforementioned views are nothing but a brief perspective from a storyline aspect.
From a marketing point of view, I can't honestly say that I have a positive reaction to all of this. I am completely sold that this concept is yet another publicity stunt by Marvel to boost interest and sales from the casual and everyday collectors. Otherwise, why do it at all? If it wasn't a publicity stunt, then explain why Marvel had to make the announcement for Thor on ABC's popular daytime show, The View? Why go to such great lengths to expose the idea of changing the sex of a well known existing Marvel character instead of turning it into the introduction of a new and original female stand-alone and making it stick?
So, what will Marvel do with the female Thor? Will they use strictly use her to harness more sales from female collectors for as long as they can, for just this specific title? Will they treat her like they have the other replacement Thor's as we have seen in the past? Will they watch the sales trends and allow it to dictate where this will all end up?
Thor's case is still on the docket in the court of public opinion; time will tell us what the final verdict is going to be.
Until next time!

My heart's deepest desire is to make you aware of your own body and mind's power to heal. As I type this, I imagine your rolling your eyes in the way I used to years ago. It does sound unreal that by simply dropping into a yoga pose, finding your breath and quieting your mind you can create the space and energy that would (supposedly) facilitate healing. Ha! Right? My suggestion is, give it a try. The least you would get out of it is a limber body, increased lung capacity, and definitely a decrease in your stress levels. You cannot lose with yoga.
This blog post is an introduction to the lymphatic system, a system greatly overlooked in our attempts to maintain our health and prevent the effects of aging or onset of illnesses, particularly given the importance of its function.
What is the lymphatic system?
The lymphatic system is a subset of the circulatory system. It consists of tissues and organs (tonsils, adenoids, spleen and thymus), lymph vessels, lymph nodes and lymph – a clear fluid containing white cells and proteins. Unlike the blood which benefits from the assistance of the heart organ to pump it and help to recirculate it in our body, the lymph flows in just one direction, beginning at the tissue cells and moving upward toward the neck where filtered and enhanced lymph fluid empties into our veins, refreshing the blood with clear plasma and white cells.
The network of lymph vessels and lymph nodes spreads along nerves, arteries and veins and is by itself twice as big as the arterial blood supply system. The main functions of this system are to remove excess fluid from the tissues, absorb fatty acid and transport fat to the circulatory system. There are about 600 to 700 lymph nodes in our body which act as filtering stations for the lymph on its way through lymph channels towards reentering the blood stream through the subclavien veins, on either side of the neck, close to the collar bones. Most lymph nodes are found around important vein locations, in the knees, groin, abdomen, elbows, underarm, chest, and neck.
Why is the lymphatic system important?
Through the smooth circulation of lymph around the body and the draining of interstitial fluid from between the cells, the lymphatic system removes toxins and waste from our blood stream and from every cell in our body, regulating our body's immunity against pathogens. It is in the extracellular space that toxins and waste accumulate and when this waste and debris builds up we start seeing the effects on our physical wellbeing, we feel stiff, sluggish, heavy. The lymph system picks up this fluid and filters it through the lymph nodes where lymphocytes (the white blood cells) will try to destroy the toxins, bacteria or viruses, before releasing clear fluid into the blood stream.
When the lymphocytes are active, meaning that the lymphatic system is hard at work clearing our body of impurities and pathogens, we experience swollen glands, painful nodes mainly in our throat and neck, underarms, and groin area. This is a good sign, the immune response of our body is good. However, if the swelling and pain lasts for more than a few weeks, you should seek the opinion of a doctor.
What could go wrong?
Many factors can impact both the toxic load in our bodies and the health of our lymphatic system. The toxic environment, unhealthy diet, sedentary life, stress, systemic inflammation, removal of lymphatic organs and lymph nodes, all can make things tough for the lymphatic system. When the lymph fails to drain properly it will lead to the accumulation of cellular waste and toxins in our bodies, causing lymphatic congestion.
While cancer and post-operative patients are more prone to lymphatic congestion, suffering from a chronic disease is not a prerequisite to experiencing stagnant lymph. Lymphatic congestion will manifest through symptoms like swollen tonsils, recurrent sore throat, chronically enlarged lymph nodes, low immunity, swelling of hands, feet, ankles, breasts, stiffness and soreness upon waking up, slow healing, dry skin, itchy rashes, bloating and water retention, tiredness.
What can I do?
There are quite a few things you could do to assist the lymphatic system in its job to detox your body and refresh and nourish your blood stream. Yoga is evidently one of them, but I will mention a few other habits you should incorporate into your routine before I touch upon the yoga element.
Hydrate. Make sure you drink plenty of water. One of the causes of lymph congestion is dehydration.
Destress. When experiencing stress, the body starts producing stress-fighting hormones to boost energy. These hormones and their waste products are very acidic and alter the chemistry of blood and cells. Stress chemistry is lymph congesting.
Dry brushing. Preferably upon waking up, before showering, use a bath brush or a loofa to massage your body. You should use gentle, long sweeping strokes starting from your feet moving up towards your chest, then from your hands towards your shoulders. This is the direction the lymph moves, from the extremities towards the bottom of the neck, where it drains into your circulatory system. Avoid stroking away from the heart, as this could put extra pressure on the valves within the veins and lymph vessels and over time may lead to ruptured vessels and varicose veins. You can read more on dry brushing here.
Lymphatic drainage massage. Using specific massage strokes in specific areas can stimulate and increase the volume of lymphatic flow. This type of massage is best done by a professional, but you can definitely read about or watch video clips online showing you how to self-massage.
Sauna and steam baths. Sweating facilitates the elimination of toxins from the body, which is in fact one of skin's primary roles. Also, being exposed to heat will increase your heart rate and breathing which will also stimulate the flow of lymph through your body.
Body cleanses. For the purpose of accelerating lymphatic drainage, the simple removal of processed foods from the diet can have a big impact (that is no white bread, no baked goods, no deli meats, no canned and dinner foods, and no sugary stuff). There are also certain vegetables and herbs that cleanse your body (garlic, parsley, ginger, dandelion root, dark green veggies, flax seeds, citrus fruits). Increasing your fiber intake is a great aid in the removal of waste from your body. A liver cleanse is highly recommended, because the health of the liver directly influences the health of your lymphatic system.
Physical exercise/yoga. As the lymphatic system lacks the benefits of having an organ to act as a pump, draining and transporting the lymphatic fluid is highly dependent on our level of physical movement. While brisk walking, running, or jumping on a trampoline are great ways of stimulating the lymphatic flow, exercises that put pressure on the muscles and focus on the areas where the lymph nodes are located are the most effective.
Yoga offers a variety of poses which can activate the lymph nodes and stimulate the lymph flow.
First and foremost, inversions are great postures to instantly influence the flow of lymph by allowing gravity to act on the lymphatic channels. Viparita Karani (legs up the wall), Salamba Sarvangasana (supported shoulder stand), Shirshasana (head stand), they all stimulate the passive flow of lymph, draining all the stagnant fluid in the feet and legs back towards the chest. (Avoid these poses if you have high blood pressure, respiratory problems, eye or inner ear conditions, or consult with a medical professional before including them in your practice.)
Twists are great poses for stimulating the energy in the body and spine and stimulate the abdominal organs. Poses like Bharadvajasana (Bharadvja's twist), Ardha Matsyendrasana (half spinal twist), Marichyasana (the sage twist) stretch the back, hips and shoulders.
Backbends share many of the benefits inversions have, both helping to reverse the effects of gravity on our bodies. Dhanurasana (bow pose), Bhujangasana (cobra pose), Setu Bandha Sarvangasana (bridge pose), to name a few, stretch the spine and open the front of the body, massaging the internal organs and stimulating the thymus gland by opening the chest. Like twists, backbends are great poses to relieve stress which is a factor in lymphatic congestion.
Flow sequences are great because they keep the body moving while engaging a variety of muscles. Sun Salutations and Moon Salutations are great sequences for keeping the lymphatic fluid moving through the body.
I will follow up with a yoga program suitable for all experience levels, which you can do at home to improve the circulation of lymph in your body. Improving the health of your lymphatic system by nourishing the lymphatic channels and stimulating the lymph flow brings about great healing benefits and strengthens the immune system, helping you to restore your overall health.
Be challenged. Be healed. Namaste.

How To Save Money On Christmas Gifts
How many times have you spent more that you could afford on Christmas gifts for your family and friends?
How many times have you bought gifts that weren't what you were looking for and on top of that, paid top dollars for them?
It has happened to all of us one too many times.
Well, you can SAVE money on all your Christmas Gifts.
1. Make a list.
It's always convenient to make a list of all the people that you will be giving a gift to.
Make sure you know what their interests are so you get a gift that they will appreciate. It will make it special for them and for you.
2. What to buy for someone that has everything?
Baskets, candles, a good book or a store certificate can be the perfect gift for that special person that has everything.
3. Buying in advance.
Don't wait until the last minute to go Christmas shopping because you'll end up paying high prices for stuff you don't even like. This happens specially with the hottest Holiday Toys because a lot of people look for them at local stores and since quantities are limited, you won't find them unless you go Christmas shopping early.
If you decide to go a local mall, make sure you do it during the first two weeks of November. You'll avoid the majority of Christmas shoppers and you are guaranteed to find what you're looking for at lower prices.
4. Take advantage of Online pre-Christmas Sales.
Most stores offer deep online discounts (up to 70%) on toys, clothing, accessories, gifts, candles, and more before Christmas during the months of October and November. They even offer Free Shipping with your order.
5. Buy from the comfort of your home.
Every year, more people buy online to save time and money. By buying online, you'll be able to see every item on every gift category you're interested in without the hassle of searching a whole store or waiting in long lines, only to find out that what you're looking for is not available or is overpriced.
You'll also receive the items you purchased early, giving you time to wrap them in advance.
The Christmas Season should be spent with family and friends instead of worrying about looking for time to go Christmas shopping.
Have a great Holiday Season.

Leading up to signing day, SoonerNation will take a closer look at the Class of 2013 prospects currently committed to Oklahoma. The in-depth analysis pieces will take a look at the ranking, estimated year of impact and potential role of each future Sooner.
Vitals: Quarterback Cody Thomas (Colleyville, Texas/Heritage) | 6-foot-5, 220 pounds
Committed: May 17, 2012
ESPN.com grade: 83
ESPN.com rankings: No. 178 in ESPN 300, No. 13 quarterback: pocket passer, No. 26 in Midlands region, No. 23 in Texas
Picked OU over: Florida, Arkansas, Auburn, Notre Dame, Oregon, Oklahoma State and others
State of the position: OU has several talented quarterbacks already on the roster and set to compete to replace Landry Jones in 2013. The Sooners don't need Thomas to come in and compete immediately.
Pros: "Thomas is one of the best pro-style passers this class has to offer and is also a deceptively good athlete to boot. Physically looks like a college player in terms of measurables and has a really nice feel for the game. Possesses elite size and bulk at this stage." - ESPN scouting report
Cons: "There is so much to like about Thomas physically, but he also has a low release point -- Phillip Rivers-like at times. Slightly pushes the ball. Does not always look like he is getting the power he is capable of -- as if he is aiming the ball to some degree." - ESPN scouting report
Similar to/potential role: Nobody. The Sooners have never really had a starting quarterback with the traits of Thomas, although each quarterback now on the roster has similar traits. Best-case scenario is Thomas becoming an run-pass threat who can hurt defenses with his arm and legs.
Expected impact: 2015. Thomas should be ready to compete for a job as early as 2014, so it will all depend on the success of OU's current starter. As a two-sport player who stars on the diamond as well as the gridiron, it's tough to expect Thomas to insert himself in the race to replace Jones. Yet he could be the most talented quarterback on campus in a year or two thanks to his prototypical size, terrific arm and underrated athleticism.

Venoco Sees 22% Increase in 3Q07 Production
Venoco, Inc. (NYSE: VQ) reported financial and operating results for the third quarter of 2007. The company reported net income of $0.5 million in the period, which was affected by unrealized mark-to-market commodity derivative losses (non-cash) of $8.6 million ($5.2 million after-tax) and unrealized mark-to-market interest rate derivative losses (non-cash) of $8.3 million ($5.0 million after-tax). Without the effects of these items, after-tax, adjusted net income was $10.7 million for the period. Venoco's Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter reached a company high of $62.1 million, up 8.6% from the second quarter and up 70% from the third quarter of 2006. Please see the end of this release for both a definition of Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most comparable GAAP financial measure.
Venoco's production for the third quarter of 2007 was 20,701 barrels of oil equivalent per day (BOE/d), a 22% increase over the third quarter of 2006. Third quarter production was a company-high of 1.90 million barrels of oil equivalent (BOE), up more than 100,000 BOE over the second quarter of 2007 - a 5.5% increase.
"We are pleased to see production continuing to increase this quarter, and to see the continued growth in Adjusted EBITDA," said Tim Marquez, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
In Coastal California, Venoco continues to focus on development activities in the West Montalvo field. The company drilled and completed a well from an onshore pad in the field to an offshore location. The well confirmed that the field boundary extends further offshore. Venoco continues to test and evaluate various zones in the well. The company is also pursuing a number of field performance improvement projects that include reactivating injection wells, expanding fluid processing capacity, returning idle wells to production, and working over existing wells.
On platform Grace in the Santa Clara field, Venoco has drilled and completed its first well, which will return the field to production after being idle for nearly a decade. The drilling rig has been moved onto the second well, which is expected to be spud shortly. First production from the field is expected in November.
In the South Ellwood field, the permitting process continues for the company's full-field development project, which includes an extension of an existing lease from the State of California. The draft Environmental Impact Report is expected by year-end with project startup anticipated in 2009.
Activity levels remain high in Texas in both the Hastings complex and in the nearby Manvel field, which Venoco acquired earlier this year. Fluid processing capacity in the Hastings complex has increased from approximately 150,000 barrels per day (bpd) at the time of acquisition to about 300,000 bpd currently with a target of 500,000 bpd by year-end. This expanded capacity will allow additional idle wells to be returned to production. The company is applying experience gained from operating in Hastings to design and execute its recompletion and workover plan for the Manvel field.
In the Sacramento Basin the company continued its active drilling and workover program. For the quarter, Venoco spud 33 wells for a nine-month total of 101 and worked-over 29 wells bringing the nine-month total to 71. The company is ahead of drilling projections and expects to drill more than 120 new wells and to recomplete at least 100 wells in the basin by year-end. The company has recently initiated a hydraulic fracturing program in the basin. Early results are very encouraging and the frac program is expected to continue throughout 2008.
"Wells in the Sacramento Basin have historically utilized conventional cased and perforated completions. With more than 300 active producers and more than 500 wellbores in our Sac Basin fields, the upside potential from fracturing could be significant," said Mr. Marquez.
Venoco's lease acquisition efforts in the Northern Sacramento Basin continue, with the company acquiring approximately 6,500 net acres in the third quarter for a company total of approximately 187,000 net acres (235,000 gross).
2007 Capital Budget
"For the full year 2007, we now expect our capital expenditures to be around $320 million, up from our earlier estimate of $270 million," said Mr. Marquez. "This is largely due to drilling more wells than we originally planned in the Sacramento Basin, ramped-up activity in our West Montalvo field -- including the drilling of the F-2 well offshore -- and higher than expected capital expenditures associated with increasing our total fluid processing capacity in the Hastings complex. We are continuing full speed on all of these projects and remain confident in their ultimate value creation," he added.
2007 Production Expenses and General & Administrative Costs
Production expenses averaged $14.90 per BOE in the third quarter of 2007 compared to $14.53 per BOE in the second quarter of 2007. Third quarter 2007 production expenses reflect a full quarter of West Montalvo and Manvel operations, where expenses increased as remedial efforts accelerated in both fields. These efforts, coupled with a production curtailment at West Montalvo for facility vessel inspections and repairs, resulted in an increase in production expenses per BOE. The company expects production expenses to decrease on a per BOE basis in 2008 as a result of reduced remedial activities in the Hastings complex and as it realizes production volume increases in the Sacramento Basin, the Santa Clara field (platform Grace), the Hastings complex, as well as in the West Montalvo and Manvel fields.
General and administrative expenses were $3.97 per BOE for the first nine months of 2007 excluding charges under SFAS 123R of $0.70 per BOE. Increased G&A expenses in the third quarter of 2007 were offset by production growth. Excluding SFAS 123R charges, the company expects G&A expenses in 2008 to be similar to full year 2007 on a per BOE basis.

She stops for a moment without turning her hooded head. She steps into the carriage as I break away from the sea of people. My clumsy run nearly brings me to the carriage before two ebony horses lurch it forward.
"Rebecca, wait!" I shout.
Her porcelain face, framed by dark brown curls, appears when she brushes the drapery aside and peers out the window. I think I see a tear streaming down her face.
I hold up the coin which now bears her face. She is the new queen, as she had once said she would become. Elected by the people who love her so much.
"I love you more than they do!" I cry.
She closes her eyes and allows the curtains to hide her away again. I chase the carriage for a while, willing for her to look back at me once more, but she does not.
I drop to my knees and watch the queen's carriage disappear around the bend. I pushed her too hard, telling her that family and children were more important than her passion to change the realm. She is like a lone wolf and wild horse combined. She will make an excellent ruler.
Now, I will be alone forever because I refused to understand her. I will never see my wife again unless I dare to glance at that silver coin.
Instead, I toss it in the mud.

It's kind of comical how we ended up buying our iRobot Roomba 530. My husband told me that he was willing to start looking after cleaning the floors in our home. I was pumped as I find my weekends are generally filled with so many things to do after working all week, and not having to clean the floors would give me more time to get my other stuff done.
So, a few days later, I came home from work and discovered that my husband bought us a robot, and not just any robot, one that will clean our floors! At first I thought this was kind of weird. I mean, who would have thought of buying a robot? It makes me think of that movie with Will Smith when all the robots turn evil and start killing people.
It took a while to get over the strangeness of having a robot in my home.
Anyway, after getting over the weirdness of the whole thing, I began to really like this little robot. After all, it saves me at least two to three hours of time every week, freeing me up to do other things.
Where we got it…
My husband bought it on sale at Canadian Tire. We paid $299.99 for it brand new, and the regular price is $399.99. You can also buy it on amazon.com though, and there are some used ones that are cheaper. (Side note – it's now 2015, we've had this robot now for about four years, and with the exception of having to change the battery once, it still works great.)
I think everyone who works full time and values their time should get one of these gadgets. Although it may take a while to wrap your head around the idea (it did for me), just think of all the other "robots" you probably already have in your house like your washer and dryer and dishwasher to name a few.
How does it work?
You can just set the little guy down and turn it on. It will move throughout your house and clean each room. It has sensors on it that allow it to navigate around and cover every inch of your floor. It moves around objects and goes under your bed to make sure it collects all the dust.
All you need to do is empty out the gunk after every cleaning. If it needs cleaning out before it is finished your house, then it will let you know by stopping and beeping.
Once its job is done, it knows to go back to its docking station on its own. If you want to manually send it to the docking station, you just push a button on the top and it does what it's told. (We also learned that it it's smart enough to know not to go down the stairs. It just hovers over the edge a little bit, and then backs away after sensing the drop off.)
Also, if you have a concentrated mess that you need to clean up, you can manually carry your robot over to the spot and hit the "spot" button. It will then know to remain in this one area and clean up your mess.
About the battery…
The iRobot is definitely a handy little gadget. Its battery will charge while its docked so you don't have to worry about plug ins or that it might run out of batteries during its cleaning time. (The only time we found the robot dying out before it finished its job is when the battery needed replacing – for us, the first battery lasted about 4 years before we had to replace it.)
There are different varieties out there. We bought the iRobot Roomba 530. We haven't had any trouble with it and it does a really good job of vacuuming our floors. One tip is to make sure you remove clutter off your floors so the robot doesn't get caught up in anything. We had a friend visit and we forgot to tell her to pick up her clothes off the floor. Needless to say, our roomba started eating her pajama pants. But as long as you remove the clutter from the floor, you are good to go.
Even frugal folks will see the value in this handy little robot.
I am an extremely frugal person who normally doesn't buy any kind of doodad since they are usually a waste of money. However, also due to my frugality, I am a person who values my time an awful lot. So, this particular doodad is worth its weight in gold in my opinion because it saves me precious time. I use it once a week and never have to babysit it. We often even leave the house while it's running and come back to a clean floor. Definitely a gem, in my opinion.

GOVERNMENT deal puts UK citizens in firing line, writes Jeff Salway
FAMILIES in Scotland are being told to pay hundreds of pounds to ensure that financial arrangements typically used to protect beneficiaries don't fall foul of a little-known piece of United States legislation.
The foreign account tax compliance act (Fatca) is designed to close a loophole in US tax law and at first seems harmless enough for taxpayers on this side of the pond.
But while Fatca is part of US reporting requirements, it applies to people in the UK because of an inter-governmental agreement between Westminster and the US that binds both countries to the rules. That means ordinary UK family trusts are affected even where there is no connection with the US.
Tens of thousands of people in the UK are now being told by their accountants that they must cover the cost of the reviews being carried out to ensure their trusts don't fall into the Fatca trap.
The rules primarily affect families who have set up trusts in order to shelter investments for beneficiaries and to protect the proceeds of insurance policies and investments.
John McArthur, partner at Gillespie Macandrew in Edinburgh, said: "Trusts are an established route in Scotland to protect assets for beneficiaries, whether created under a will to protect a child's inheritance or to hold investments, either stocks and shares or insurance-based products (investment bonds generally) for the beneficiaries."
These trusts must now be reviewed, at a cost to the individual, to ascertain whether the Fatca measures apply. The Fatca rules are aimed at closing a perceived US tax loophole by forcing institutions such as banks, brokers and fund managers to report payments made to US citizens anywhere in the world, or face potentially punitive tax penalties.
However, the definition of an institution under Fatca also includes trusts whose assets are managed by another financial institution on a discretionary basis, said McArthur. UK-resident trusts come under the scope of Fatca if they have a US beneficiary, settlor or investments. The problem is that all trusts have to spend time and money making sure they're not affected. "Trustees will soon, if they have not already done so, receive letters from their advisers asking about the Fatca status of their trust," McArthur explained.
"The reason for this is that the financial institution might find itself subject to the withholding tax if it is shown that money managed by the institution on the trust's behalf has been paid to the trust, which is transferred to a US citizen without it being reported under Fatca."
Accountants have been given until 25 October to work out which trusts need to comply with the rules, or risk hefty penalties.
"HM Revenue & Customs estimates that the initial costs of compliance with Fatca will be between £900 million and £1.6 billion, with ongoing annual costs up to £90m. All this to protect the tax income of the US with no benefit to the UK exchequer," said McArthur.
That will throw the future of some trusts into doubt by adding to their compliance burden and raise the question of whether it's viable for them to continue operating.
Ronnie Ludwig, a partner at chartered accountants Saffery Champness, said: "The whole thing is a nightmare. All accountants must complete a thorough review of their client base, including what investments they have."
People who are beneficiaries of trusts – including those in which insurance bonds are the only investment – have to co-operate with trustees and prove they don't have any US connections.
Individuals who own investments managed by a financial institution will also have to comply with their requirements under Fatca by showing they have no connections with the US, said McArthur.
While individuals with trusts don't risk penalties, many will have to pay for the reviews being carried out.
"Fees of between £300 and £500 look to be the norm and then there will be ongoing costs incurred by the trustees or their agents reviewing the information and advising of any changes within three months of there being any changes," said McArthur.

Top 7 CMS (Content Management System) for Websites
Top 7 CMS (Content Management System) and Best Website CMS
Even though there are many websites composed of just a few pages, serious business owners know that they will need to add dozens of pages or make changes on existing ones. Unfortunately, if you don't know HTML, the entire task can be extremely daunting. On the other hand, keeping a web designer on retainer can be equally frustrating and counter-productive if you don't have enough money for this type of maintenance.
Content management systems (CMS) offer an easy way to add and change data on any website. Here are the top 10 CMS platforms favored by individuals and businesses alike. As you look through this list for the best content management system, you are sure to find at least one or more that will help you create the perfect website.
Cost: free, but there are other services associated with WordPress that you may need to pay for. This includes custom flash templates, plug-ins, or other scripts that may not be available for free from the script repository.
Basic Features: Even though WordPress is considered a blogging platform, it is often used by people looking to build websites. The native dashboard has everything from custom menus to date widgets that can be used to create endless variations in the sidebars. No matter whether you are looking for top bar navigation menus, custom headers, banner support, or just about any other kind of dynamic content, you can rest assured there is either a plug-in, widget, or template that can be used with this platform.
Security Features: You can control posting and comments, block URLs and IPs, capture login data, and use passwords to secure specific pages on the site. You can also use member privileges to determine who sees certain pages. Depending on the plug-ins you choose, there are also a number of other different security enhancements available. This includes spam blockers, captcha entries, and issue notifications.
Plugins and Widgets: If there is a feature found on a website, chances are you can find a free plugin for WordPress. Some of the more common plug-ins includes visitor tracking, image and video sliders, support for auctions and eCommerce, advanced editors for the content editor, and literally hundreds of different SEO gadgets.
Theme Support: When you set up a new WordPress blog on your own server, or purchase space on the WordPress website, you will have access to millions of free templates. No matter whether you are looking for a pink colored theme with menu bars on top or something that can be customized to generate four and five columns, there is sure to be a theme to suit your needs. In most cases, you will find that switching themes is easy, and your data will always transfer from one design to the next properly.
Ease of Customization: In terms of changing the basic structure of the site, adding and subtracting dynamic elements, and adding content, WordPress ranks as the easiest and most stable CMS on the market.
Ease of Use: Very easy to use for novices and advanced users.
Other Notes: WordPress is the platform of choice for affiliate marketers, small business owners, and just about anyone else that wants to create a website as quickly as possible.
Basic Features: Drupal is an open source content management system that offers features similar to WordPress. You can adjust sidebars, install custom templates, and build eCommerce websites with a fair amount of ease.
Security Features: You can track logins and use member privilege features to control some aspects of security on a Drupal site. In order to moderate comments, you will need to install a separate plugin. There are also plug-ins available to protect the site from spam, as well as a number of different protocols for captcha authentication.
Plugins and Widgets: Numerous for creating dynamic content as well as advanced markups for the editor dashboard.
Theme Support: You will usually need to pay for custom templates if you cannot find a suitable free one in the repository.
Ease of Customization: Since Drupal uses PHP for all scripts, it is fairly easy to customize. Many programmers feel that Drupal is easier and less confusing to work with than Joomla.
Ease of Use: For the most part, if you can navigate on the WordPress platform, you will adapt to Drupal fairly easily.
Other Notes: Drupal is well suited for small to medium sized websites that should not have a blog feel to them. While Drupal does not offer as many features as WordPress, you will still be able to find or build what you need, and enjoy a stable platform at the same time.
Basic Features: After installing Joomla you can generate custom top bar menus, and then install widgets in the sidebars for added functionality. As with other content management systems, you can generate new pages fairly easily, and post them to the site in a matter of seconds.
Security Features: Joomla has a reputation for a robust series of security features. This includes extensive customization of member types, group functions, and administrative levels. You can also use Captcha and other systems to prevent spam, as well as use IP blockers to prevent unwanted access to the site.
Plugins and Widgets: There are a number of plugins available to help you track visitors as well as add sliders and other functionality to the sidebars, headers, and footers. While there are some plugins available for free, most must be purchased and created by custom PHP programmers.
Theme Support: When you first install Joomla, you can choose from a handful of templates. While most find these themes distinctly unappealing and drab, you can still change text and background colors to give them a unique flavor. For the most part, you will be best served by asking a custom programmer to create a theme for your business.
Ease of Customization: Tends to be very complicated. You will find that setting up menus and attaching pages to them is a process that involves dozens of screens across different sections of the dashboard. Aside from this, if you need custom login scripts, they are often difficult, if not impossible to integrate with the Joomla native security classes. Unfortunately, many people that try to alter the security features on a Joomla site only wind up compromising the overall security of the entire setup.
Ease of Use: Difficult to setup, but offers a comfortable real time content addition panel.
Other Notes: If you are looking for a free enterprise content management system, Joomla represents a good option. That said, you should be prepared to make numerous changes to the initial installation before adding content.
Cost: starts at 15,000 for basic installation
Basic Features: You can use Sitecore to create everything from dynamic group sites to social networking sites.
Security Features: Capable of tracking login history, and also has built in captcha systems. You can also set up a fairly advanced hierarchy of users and administrators. Other plugins will enable you to create advanced registration pages that can be tied into the login screens.
Plugins and Widgets: usually require custom development from a C++ programmer. Since Sitecore is closed source, you will need to find someone that is familiar with the overall system.
Theme Support: Depends on package selected. You can also pay for custom themes.
Ease of Customization: Depends on package selected and skill level of the developer.
Ease of Use: Once set up, this platform tends to be easy to work with, and offers a number of utilities for creating attractive layouts for each page.
Other Notes: Sitecore is ideal for larger businesses that may want to create multiple forums or add other interactive features. Many of the plugins and customizations available can be used for advanced SEO strategies, marketing effectiveness tracking, and providing additional security for the site.
Cost: 2000 to install.
Basic Features: Drag and drop content addition, blog and forum integration. You can also add classified ads and many other items that are usually available only as plugins on many other platforms.
Security Features: The standard platform allows everything from advanced membership designations to email verification and audit trails.
Plugins and Widgets: Almost everything you need is built into the main site. Each module is fairly easy to customize, and tends to produce reliable functionality.
Theme Support: You can find some startup themes with the initial installation, but will need a custom programmer to develop others for the platform. Depending on your needs, this can be quite expensive, since you will need to find a C# programmer that has also worked with Kentico specific code. Since the program is closed source, you should only rely on certified vendors for this task.
Ease of Customization: Fairly easy for most web designers.
Ease of Use: Dashboard and content addition features are very easy to use.
Other Notes: Kentico is an ideal platform for medium sized businesses that expect to evolve to larger sizes. You can always add forums, message boards, blogs, and other functions without having to create major overhauls to your main site. As an added bonus, Kentico comes with an excellent training and certification program. Therefore, when you hire a programmer to work on your site, you can always rely on dedicated people that will do the job right.

Plugins and Widgets: Most plugins required for advanced marketing and web statistics are free and already included in the main package. You can also hire programmers to create custom scripts to either modify or create new scripts for other purposes.
Theme Support: You can choose from a number of themes available in each package, or ask the developers to build custom templates on your behalf. Depending on the package selected, this service may be included in the base price.
Ease of Customization: Not as easy as open source platforms, but can still be done if you find the right programmer.
Ease of Use: Very easy to use once set up. The dashboard is easy to navigate and tools are all intuitive. Most find the dashboard as easy to use, if not easier than WordPress.
Other Notes: Even though Ektron is a bit on the expensive side, it offers a range of tools and service that tend to be harder to access on other platform. For example, the integrated wiki page makes it very easy to provide information about your company and products. You will also find dozens of features such as weather tracking and other tools that might hold some appeal for viewers in a specific geographic region. Unlike a number of open source tools, you will have to waste time guessing which plug-in or app will actually work, since all of the modules for Ektron are already tested and functional as a working whole.
Cost: starts at 3000
Basic Features: Standard CMS platform features combined with a robust set of tools for affiliate marketers. In fact, this particular platform is favored by many in this field that require tools that go beyond those provided by WordPress. You will also find that DotNetNuke also offers plenty of sales, web tracking, and dynamic tools that can be used for just about any type of business site.
Security Features: offers full audit trail, membership hierarchy, email verification, and other tools designed to prevent unauthorized used and access to data on the server.
Plugins and Widgets: There are many plugins available for free that can be used for enhanced web statistic reporting, affiliate tracking, forum enhancement and other needs.
Theme Support: Although each installation comes with some basic themes, you may find that you need to purchase a custom theme for the sake of visual appeal and functionality.
Ease of Customization: fairly easy
Ease of Use: very easy to use.
Other Notes: This platform is favored by affiliate marketers as well as medium to large sized store based businesses, and offers an ideal "next step up" from free CMS systems.
