The 2013 Toronto Maple Leafs NHL Schedule has been released
The New York Islanders open the 2013 season at home against the New Jersey Devils Jan. 19, and conclude April 26 with the last of five consecutive road games.
There have been a couple of leaks so far but the full schedule is still to come.
Come see what games the 2013 has in stock for the Colorado Avalanche.
Finally, the 2013 NHL schedule was released on Saturday! A quick glance at the schedule shows the Phoenix Coyotes will host the Chicago Blackhawks in the home opener next Sunday and end the season on the road against the Anaheim Ducks.
The home opener is against Buffalo. Surprisingly, there are some good memories for these games.
Jim Lites announced a plan on local radio that would potentially allow children under 12 to get in January and February home games free.
The Phoenix Coyotes won't be on a lot of national games, but the 48 games over 99 days gives us plenty to discuss. It's gonna be a wild ride.
Look for the NHL to release the 2013 regular season schedule today. In the meantime, we've got news on Dave Shoalts being wrong, a look at Phoenix's special teams play, Phil Kessel trade speculation, and new arrivals down in Portland.

Police say 3 people shot in Cedar Rapids
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) - Authorities are investigating the shooting of 3 people at an apartment complex in Cedar Rapids.
The Cedar Rapids Police Department says officers responded Thursday to a report of a shooting at an apartment unit in the southeast side of the city. Officers say the victims were shot while standing outside of the unit.
The three people were transported to local hospitals. 1 of the victims is in critical condition and the other two are in serious condition with non-life threatening injuries.
Police say they're looking for two men who ran from the scene and got into a green van. Both men were wearing black sweatshirts and blue jeans.
Iowa girl, 12, describes escape after kidnapping
DAYTON, Iowa (AP) - A 12-year-old Iowa girl says she and a friend were kidnapped after being lured into a stranger's truck while walking home from school.
The girl escaped Monday's abduction, but her 15-year-old friend, Kathlynn Shepard, is still missing.
The younger girl tells the Dayton Leader and Iowa Public Radio that they'd gotten off their school bus when a man asked if they wanted to make money mowing lawns. He promised he'd give them a ride to ask their parents.
She says she knew something was wrong when they went to a hog confinement facility. She escaped when their abductor took Kathlynn to another part of the property, running through the woods until she found farmers.
Investigators say the kidnapper was registered sex offender Michael Klunder, who killed himself Monday night.
Investigator: Missing Iowa girl's blood found
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - Iowa investigators say the discovery of blood of a missing 15-year-old girl has diminished hope of finding her alive.
Bill Kietzman of the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation said Thursday that DNA tests confirm that blood found on the ground around a hog confinement facility where Kathlynn Shepard was taken after being kidnapped belonged to the girl.
He says her blood also was found on the tailgate of the suspect's truck.
Kietzman says the blood was enough to show "that she probably sustained some injuries." He said the search continues for the teen, but that hopes of finding her alive are now less promising.
Investigators say Kathlynn and her 12-year-old friend were kidnapped Monday by Michael Klunder, who later committed suicide.
The younger girl was able to escape.
Most bills didn't clear Iowa Legislature
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - The 2013 Iowa Legislature approved plenty of high-profile measures, but many more bills died during the session.
Officials filed 1,105, and most didn't clear the Legislature. Among the failed efforts were proposals to increase oversight of traffic cameras, require suicide prevention training for teachers and help pay for improvements at the Iowa Speedway.
House Minority Leader Representative Kevin McCarthy of Des Moines says some lawmakers have been fighting for some measure for years to no avail.
Republican Senator Mark Chelgren of Ottumwa says it can be frustrating, but it's part of governing. He notes that if not for two parties and different ideas, "we'd have legislation that kind of runs away."
Branstad requests federal help for Iowa counties
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Governor Terry Branstad has requested a presidential disaster declaration to help 19 Iowa counties affected by severe weather last month.
Branstad wants to use public assistance funds to rebuild roads, bridges and other damaged infrastructure affected by heavy rains, thunderstorms and flooding between April 17th and April 30th. The money also can be used to cover emergency work and debris removal.
Branstad signed a letter Thursday that will be delivered to President Barack Obama. It requests the declaration for areas along a swath of central, eastern and southern Iowa, including Appanoose, Cedar and Warren counties.
Officials say the 19 counties sustained an estimated $8.9 million in damage that could be eligible for public assistance funds.
Flooding closes Iowa park for Memorial Day weekend
WATERLOO, Iowa (AP) - Flooding from the Cedar River will keep a state park in northeast Iowa closed through the Memorial Day holiday weekend.
The state Department of Natural Resources says the George Wyth State Park could potentially reopen for day use activities on Monday if there is no additional rainfall in the Cedar River watershed.
But officials say the campground will likely remain closed until Wednesday. That will allow floodwater to recede and give workers time to check electrical boxes.
The DNR plans to provide status updates through the park's phone system, and people with reservations for the affected days will be offered full refunds.
Iowa Board of Regents confirms tuition freeze
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - The Board of Regents is following up on its promise of freezing tuition at Iowa's public universities now that an education budget is in the books.
The board says the undergraduate tuition freeze, which will be applied for the 2013 to 2014 school year, will be the first in 30 years.
The Legislature approved the $897 million higher education budget last week. It increases the board's budget by 2.6% - or $12 million - which is something officials said was needed for the freeze to happen.
The budget also gives $10 million to the University of Northern Iowa.
Interim Board President Bruce Rastetter called the budget a testament to the Legislature and "the value these institutions provide."
The Iowa Legislature adjourned its session Thursday.
Police: Iowa woman drove car off I-235 overpass
WEST DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Authorities say a woman suspected of drunken driving drove her car off an interstate overpass in West Des Moines before rolling down an embankment.
The West Des Moines Police Department says 29-year-old Cassandra Beverly of Waukee was found injured inside her car around 2 a.m. Thursday under the Interstate Highway 235 bridge.
The Des Moines Register reports Beverly had to be extricated from the car, which was found with its underside resting against a concrete barrier.
Police say Beverly, who suffered a fractured neck and collapsed lung, had bloodshot eyes and smelled of alcohol. A preliminary breath test showed a blood alcohol level of .129.
They newspaper reports that police plan to issue citations for OWI and failing to maintain control.
Ethanol cars removed after Iowa train derailment
CHARLES CITY, Iowa (AP) - Iowa officials say three ethanol cars have been removed from the Little Cedar River following a train derailment east of Charles City.
The state Department of Natural Resources says the cars are being analyzed to determine how much ethanol went into the river. Officials said earlier that ethanol was leaking from at least two cars.
The train derailment late Monday caused the cars and three locomotives to partially submerge into the river. Workers continue to try to remove the locomotives. At leave one was leaking diesel fuel earlier.
The Canadian Pacific Railroad says floating booms and absorbent pads are trying to capture as much of the fuel as possible.
Monitors installed downstream show normal oxygen levels in the river.
Iowa's Dahm out as baseball coach
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - Iowa baseball coach Jack Dahm is out after 10 seasons with the Hawkeyes.
Iowa athletic director Gary Barta announced Thursday that Dahm's contract won't be renewed after a decade leading the state's only remaining Division One program.
Dahm, hired by Iowa in 2003 after 10 years at Creighton, was 235-302 with the Hawkeyes. Iowa reached the Big Ten tournament just three times during Dahm's tenure, and his final team finished 22-27.
Dahm was on a 1-year deal set to expire at the end of June.
Barta says the Hawkeyes will be looking for someone who "fits the culture" of the school as it searches for a new coach.

PostCarden by Another Studio for Design
€ 12,00
€ 5,90 incl. IVA más envío
The loveliest greeting cards we have ever seen!
So check this out: PostCarden is the most universal gift - the greeting card – completely re-imagined. The great minds at 'Another Studio for Design' in the UK felt that the conventional card lacked surprise, bringing only a momentary enjoyment. The arrival of a greeting card or letter in the post can always brighten up your normal mail and bring pleasure but once opened its role becomes commonplace and static. Their response is PostCarden. It can be sent easily in the mail with room to write a personal greeting, yet PostCarden was created to be more playful, curious and interactive. It encourages you to bond, live and grow the greeting on a day-by-day basis. Over time the card reacts to you and your environment evolving in beauty and charm. How does it work? As easy as 1,2,3,4,5: One: Open and unfold your Carden into its three-dimensional form. Two: Tuck the tabs into slots and glue (or tape) where instructed. If you don't have glue or tape don't worry! It is not essential but it well help strengthen the structure. Three: Carefully sprinkle water into the base - A dripping tap is ideal for this. Four: Scatter the cress seeds onto the damp paper. Five: Keep the seeds moist by adding water as required. Place your Carden in a warm, bright spot. It will start to grow in two to three days and will last up to two weeks. All cress can be eaten. Simple? Not? Please watch the video below! |

I worry that people won't take the time or want to actually apply them via sewing/ironing. This makes me want to possibly order some small buttons instead, but I like patches way more than buttons so idk. Thoughts?

It was very hot in the afternoon and Simon was about to set lunch for his guests under the Acacia tree, when he saw lions a kilometer away. They decided to drive near them only to find Old lioness being trailed by a pride of lion, as it was an intruder. Sudenly they heard a loud groaning sound which was scary and the poor lioness was in the middle covered by the entire pride. Although later it managed to escape the damage was already done and its body covered with blood.As the pride was still following it behind Simon guests told him to drive away as they could not stand seeing the poor lioness being subjected to more pains.later they came across cubs playing under the close supervision of their mothers .It was sweet to watch as they play.
When a lion is injured and it's alone like this one its chances of survival are reduced tremendously as it cannot hunt properly leading to its death due to hunger.

The Drowsy Chaperone (Don Ward)
Updated: 05/20/2013 - Two weekends left to catch one great show!
A woman whose car overturned and slid into the water of an icy pond in Windsor is crediting a passer-by with helping get her to safety.
A car driven by 22-year-old Kimberly Garcia of Evans ended up upside-down in the pond off Colorado 257 near the entrance of the Kodak/Carestream campus Thursday evening. The passenger side of her car was submerged.
Garcia tells KUSA-TV in Denver she slipped through her car's back window, which was broken, so she could get some air. Meanwhile, a man who caught a glimpse of a wheel sticking up from the ice pulled over and entered knee-deep water to help get Garcia to dry land.
Garcia says that if the man hadn't come to help save her, she might not have made it.

ONE of the first warnings given by tourist guides to visitors to many Eastern countries is – don't ride in the tuk-tuks!
These are the wildly unstable auto rickshaw taxis which buzz around cities of India and beyond like angry wasps.
But the inherent dangers have failed to dissuade Corbridge's Jhared Bouri and three of his mates from driving one of the contraptions 5,000km down the length of the sub-continent.
Along with former school friends from Newcastle's Royal Grammar School James Rickwood-Dodsworth, Andrew Wallace and Hugh Morgan, Jared will be setting off from Jaisalmer in the far North West of India hoping to reach Cochin in the far South around two weeks and 5000km later.
They will be aboard a 150cc, 7hp auto-rickshaw, and will have to battle through jungle, barren plains and mountain ranges, navigate through some of the world's largest and most congested cities and of course try to avoid an accident on the world's most dangerous road network.
Needless to say, it's all being done in the name of charity.
They are competing in the Rickshaw Run, a charity rally run by The Adventurists (www.rickshawrun.com) in aid of Frank Water Projects.
Each team must raise at least £1,000 to guarantee their entry on the rally, and Jared and his friends are hoping to raise at least double that.
All funds raised will be donated to FRANK – no other party takes a cut.
FRANK is a small charity that funds sustainable, safe, clean drinking water projects in India by installing village filtration facilities.
Since 2005 FRANK has funded the installation of over 30 projects in Andhra Pradesh, India benefiting over 210,000 people.
James, who lives in Ryton, said: "We have been writing to local companies and charities for sponsorship as well as badgering friends and acquaintances.
"However, we would also love other people to sponsor us."

In 2006, Andrew Wallace and James Rickwood-Dodsworth drove 8000 miles from London to Mongolia, across five mountain ranges and two deserts, in a less than reliable Fiat Cinquecento. By doing so, they raised over £2000 for the Christina Noble Children's Foundation and Send a Cow.
4 years later and they are back!!! This time competing in the Rickshaw Run Winter 2011. A 5000km trek the length of India from Jaisalmer to Cochin.....
The trip should last about two weeks as we battle through some of the most difficult terrain Asia has to offer, as well as the inevitable breakdowns and bouts of illness. There are no support vehicles. The Rickshaw Run is therefore the ultimate challenge of man and unsuitably unstable machine Rickshaw Run Website

"I was inspired by old hand-painted tiles and mosaics. The blue relates to traditional porcelain, but the motifs, like the hot air balloon, are more unexpected. The idea is the plates should work just as well for every day as for parties."
Designer Malin Åkerblom
Playing with tradition
Plates with blue-painted motifs are probably the most traditional style there is, but with the PROMENAD series we wanted to find a decorative style that also felt playful and modern, even though it's classic. That's why we asked designer Malin Åkerblom to help us and use her artistic talents to make PROMENAD plates something very special.
Story: There is an interesting story behind blue-painted porcelain. This classic combination was first created in Holland in the 17th century as an attempt to copy porcelain from China, which was often decorated with plant and flower patterns in cobalt blue. The trend later spread to the Swedish porcelain factories which produced decorative plates for everyday use. When the PROMENAD series was still in the idea stage, we decided that it was just this porcelain tradition we wanted to work with. We wanted a classic plate with a hand-painted look, but that breaks with the conventional in a playful way and becomes something totally new. To succeed with our plan we contacted designer Malin Åkerman. Malin had previously painted beautiful watercolours for our metre fabrics. And when the product developer for porcelain saw her skill she knew that it was just Malin's artistic talents that were needed to create the motifs for PROMENAD. Even though decals were used to decorate the plates, it was important to bring out the hand-painted feeling. So Malin was given a free hand to paint the motifs for three classic plates and one deep bowl.
Playfulness was also something that Malin concentrated on in her design. She painted watercolours in different nuances of blue to connect with the traditional porcelain, but her motifs were different than what you usually find on plates."At this point in my life I was fascinated by the shape of hot air balloons and how they float when they move. I also looked at a lot of old tiles with patterns and at mosaic decorations in architecture to find a style that brings out the different nuances of blue," says Malin.
After painting different motifs with blue watercolour paint, she scanned them into the computer, printed them out and began arranging them playfully on the plates. Usually, porcelain is decorated around the edge or centred in the middle. But to create something unexpected on the classic plates, Malin chose to arrange the decorations on the plates in a somewhat unconventional way. For example, the hot air balloon flies away over the edge of the side plate, and a bird breaks free from the decoration on the plate and flies off. The bowl has a beautiful border – straight across the inside of the bowl instead of along the outside edge.
"I like it when things can appeal to both adults and children. The motifs aren't centred, so there's no right way to set the plates on the table either. Depending on which direction you choose to place the plates, you'll discover different things in the motifs. Something like when you look at a cloud and it forms different figures. So children can let their imaginations drift away when they eat dinner. Because, if you don't get bored with a design, you'll want to keep it for longer," explains Malin. Which is also the point with PROMENAD – beautiful pieces in a table setting that work just as well with fine wine glasses as breakfast cereal. Regardless of whether you choose to place them in a playful or a traditional way.
Designer thought Malin Åkerblom: "I was inspired by old hand-painted tiles and architecture with mosaics. The blue colour relates back to traditional porcelain, but the motifs are more unexpected. Like the hot air balloon that represents freedom and playfulness. The motifs on PROMENAD are positioned a bit unconventionally. Depending on which direction you look at them from, you see different things in the motifs. The idea is that the plates should work just as well for every day as for parties. Together with both fine wine glasses and breakfast cereal. And spread happiness for many years."

Global stocks sink on growth worries
Other US data showed home re sales fell in May and applications for unemployment insurance were higher than expected in the latest week.
Softening data globally has lifted hopes of central bank action to support the economy. Yesterday, the US Federal Reserve announced it would deliver another round of monetary stimulus and said it was ready to do even more to help an increasingly fragile US economic recovery, but the move was nonetheless a disappointment to markets.
The Dow Jones industrial average was down 251.35 points, or 1.96 percent, at 12,573.04. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was down 30.19 points, or 2.23 percent, at 1,325.50. The Nasdaq Composite Index was down 71.36 points, or 2.44 percent, at 2,859.09.
In Europe, shares ended lower in choppy trading as weak data raised fresh concerns about a global slowdown. The FTSEurofirst 300 index of top European shares provisionally ended 0.4 percent lower at 1,009.91 points.
In Asia, Nikkei average broke above 8,800 for the first time in five weeks today, as sentiment was buoyed by a softer yen after the US Federal Reserve held back from more aggressive stimulus steps to prop up the economy.
The Nikkei rose 0.8 percent to 8,824.07, driven by exporters, such as Honda Motor Co Ltd, up 3.5 percent, and Canon Inc, adding 1.4 percent. The benchmark Nikkei hit its highest closing level since May 17 and has recovered 7 percent from a six-month low on June 4. However, it is still down 12.5. The broader Topix advanced 0.9 percent to 753.96.

Petroleum industry
The petroleum industry includes the global processes of exploration, extraction, refining, transporting (often by oil tankers and pipelines), and marketing petroleum products. The largest volume products of the industry are fuel oil and gasoline (petrol). Petroleum (oil) is also the raw material for many chemical products, including pharmaceuticals, solvents, fertilizers, pesticides, and plastics. The industry is usually divided into three major components: upstream, midstream and downstream. Midstream operations are usually included in the downstream category.
Petroleum is vital to many industries, and is of importance to the maintenance of industrial civilization in its current configuration, and thus is a critical concern for many nations. Oil accounts for a large percentage of the world's energy consumption, ranging from as low of 32% for Europe and Asia, up to a high of 53% for the Middle East.
Other geographic regions' consumption patterns are as follows: South and Central America (44%), Africa (41%), and North America (40%). The world consumes 30 billion barrels (4.8 km³) of oil per year, with developed nations being the largest consumers. The United States consumed 25% of the oil produced in 2007.[1] The production, distribution, refining, and retailing of petroleum taken as a whole represents the world's largest industry in terms of dollar value.
Governments such as the United States government provide a heavy public subsidy to petroleum companies, with major tax breaks at virtually every stage of oil exploration and extraction, including for the costs of oil field leases and drilling equipment.[2]
Contents |
Natural history[edit]
Petroleum is a naturally occurring liquid found in rock formations. It consists of a complex mixture of hydrocarbons of various molecular weights, plus other organic compounds. It is generally accepted that oil is formed mostly from the carbon rich remains of ancient plankton after exposure to heat and pressure in the Earth's crust over hundreds of millions of years. Over time, the decayed residue was covered by layers of mud and silt, sinking further down into the Earth's crust and preserved there between hot and pressured layers, gradually transforming into oil reservoirs.[citation needed]
Early history[edit]
Petroleum in an unrefined state has been utilized by humans for over 5000 years. Oil in general has been used since early human history to keep fires ablaze, and also for warfare.
Its importance in the world economy evolved slowly, with whale oil used for lighting into the 19th century and wood and coal used for heating and cooking well into the 20th Century. The Industrial Revolution generated an increasing need for energy which was fueled mainly by coal, with other sources including whale oil. However, it was discovered that kerosene could be extracted from crude oil and used as a light and heating fuel. Petroleum was in great demand, and by the twentieth century had become the most valuable commodity traded on the world markets.[3]
Modern history[edit]
Imperial Russia produced 3,500 tons of oil in 1825 and doubled its output by mid-century.[4] After oil drilling began in what is now Azerbaijan in 1848, two large pipelines were built in the Russian Empire: the 833 km long pipeline to transport oil from the Caspian to the Black Sea port of Batumi (Baku-Batumi pipeline), completed in 1906, and the 162 km long pipeline to carry oil from Chechnya to the Caspian.
At the turn of the 20th century, Imperial Russia's output of oil, almost entirely from the Apsheron Peninsula, accounted for half of the world's production and dominated international markets.[5] Nearly 200 small refineries operated in the suburbs of Baku by 1884.[6] As a side effect of these early developments, the Apsheron Peninsula emerged as the world's "oldest legacy of oil pollution and environmental negligence."[7] In 1878, Ludvig Nobel and his Branobel company "revolutionized oil transport" by commissioning the first oil tanker and launching it on the Caspian Sea.[5]
The first modern oil refineries were built by Ignacy Łukasiewicz near Jasło (then in the dependent Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria in Central European Galicia), Poland from 1854–56.[8] These were initially small as demand for refined fuel was limited. The refined products were used in artificial asphalt, machine oil and lubricants, in addition to Łukasiewicz's kerosene lamp. As kerosene lamps gained popularity, the refining industry grew in the area.
The first commercial oil well in Canada became operational in 1858 at Oil Springs, Ontario (then Canada West).[9] Businessman James Miller Williams dug several wells between 1855 and 1858 before discovering a rich reserve of oil four metres below ground.[10][11] Williams extracted 1.5 million litres of crude oil by 1860, refining much of it into kerosene lamp oil.[9] Some historians challenge Canada's claim to North America's first oil field, arguing that Pennsylvania's famous Drake well was the continent's first. But there is evidence to support Williams, not least of which is that the Drake well did not come into production until August 28, 1859. The controversial point might be that Williams found oil above bedrock while Edwin Drake's well located oil within a bedrock reservoir. The discovery at Oil Springs touched off an oil boom which brought hundreds of speculators and workers to the area. The first gusher erupted on January 16, 1862, when local oil man John Shaw struck oil at 158 feet (48 m).[12] For a week the oil gushed unchecked at levels reported as high as 3,000 barrels per day.
The first modern oil drilling in the United States began in West Virginia and Pennsylvania in the 1850s. Edwin Drake's 1859 well near Titusville, Pennsylvania, is typically considered the first true modern oil well, and touched off a major boom.[13][14] In the first quarter of the 20th century, the United States overtook Russia as the world's largest oil producer. By the 1920s, oil fields had been established in many countries including Canada, Poland, Sweden, the Ukraine, the United States, Peru and Venezuela.[14]
The first successful oil tanker, the Zoroaster, was built in 1878 in Sweden, designed by Ludvig Nobel. It operated from Baku to Astrakhan.[15] A number of new tanker designs were developed in the 1880s.
In the early 1930s the Texas Company developed the first mobile steel barges for drilling in the brackish coastal areas of the Persian Gulf. In 1937 Pure Oil Company (now part of Chevron Corporation) and its partner Superior Oil Company (now part of ExxonMobil Corporation) used a fixed platform to develop a field in 14 feet (4.3 m) of water, one mile (1.6 km) offshore of Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana. In early 1947 Superior Oil erected a drilling/production oil platform in 20 ft (6.1 m) of water some 18 miles[vague] off Vermilion Parish, Louisiana. It was Kerr-McGee Oil Industries (now Anadarko Petroleum Corporation), as operator for partners Phillips Petroleum (ConocoPhillips) and Stanolind Oil & Gas (BP), that completed its historic Ship Shoal Block 32 well in October 1947, months before Superior actually drilled a discovery from their Vermilion platform farther offshore. In any case, that made Kerr-McGee's well the first oil discovery drilled out of sight of land.[16][17]
After World War II ended, the countries of the Middle East took the lead in oil production from the United States. Important developments since World War II include deep-water drilling, the introduction of the Drillship, and the growth of a global shipping network for petroleum relying upon oil tankers and pipelines. In the 1960s and 1970s, multi-governmental organizations of oil–producing nations OPEC and OAPEC played a major role in setting petroleum prices and policy. Oil Spills and their cleanup have become an issue of increasing political, environmental, and economic importance.
Industry structure[edit]
The American Petroleum Institute divides the petroleum industry into five sectors:[18]
- upstream (exploration, development and production of crude oil or natural gas)
- downstream (oil tankers, refiners, retailers and consumers)
- pipeline
- marine
- service and supply
Oil companies used to be classified by sales as "supermajors" (BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips, Shell, Eni and Total S.A.), "majors", and "independents" or "jobbers". In recent years however, National Oil Companies (NOC, as opposed to IOC, International Oil Companies) have come to control the rights over the largest oil reserves; by this measure the top ten companies all are NOC. The following table shows the ten largest national oil companies ranked by reserves[19][20] and by production.[21]
Rank | Company (Reserves) | Worldwide Liquids Reserves (109 bbl) | Worldwide Natural Gas Reserves (1012 ft3) | Total Reserves in Oil Equivalent Barrels (109 bbl) | Company (Production) | Output (Millions bbl/day)[1] | |
1 | Saudi Aramco | 260 | 254 | 303 | Saudi Aramco | 12.5 | |
3 | Qatar Petroleum | 15 | 905 | 170 | ExxonMobil | 5.3 | |
4 | INOC | 116 | 120 | 134 | PetroChina | 4.4 | |
6 | ADNOC | 92 | 199 | 126 | Royal Dutch Shell | 3.9 | |
7 | Pemex | 102 | 56 | 111 | Pemex | 3.6 | |
8 | NNPC | 36 | 184 | 68 | Chevron | 3.5 | |
9 | NOC | 41 | 50 | 50 | Kuwait Petroleum Corporation | 3.2 | |
10 | Sonatrach | 12 | 159 | 39 | ADNOC | 2.9 | |
^1 : Total energy output, including natural gas (converted to bbl of oil) for companies producing both. |
Most upstream work in the oil field or on an oil well is contracted out to drilling contractors and oil field service companies.[citation needed]
Midstream operations are sometimes classified within the upstream sector, but these operations compose a separate and discrete sector of the petroleum industry. Midstream operations and processes include the following:
- Gathering: The gathering process employs narrow, low-pressure pipelines to connect oil- and gas-producing wells to larger, long-haul pipelines or processing facilities.[22]
- Processing/refining: Processing and refining operations turn crude oil and gas into marketable products. In the case of crude oil, these products include heating oil, gasoline for use in vehicles, jet fuel, and diesel oil.[23] Oil refining processes include distillation, vacuum distillation, catalytic reforming, catalytic cracking, alkylation, isomerization and hydrotreating.[23] Natural gas processing includes compression; glycol dehydration; amine treating; separating the product into pipeline-quality natural gas and a stream of mixed natural gas liquids; and fractionation, which separates the stream of mixed natural gas liquids into its components. The fractionation process yields ethane, propane, butane, isobutane, and natural gasoline.
- Transportation: Oil and gas are transported to processing facilities, and from there to end users, by pipeline, tanker/barge, truck, and rail. Pipelines are the most economical transportation method and are most suited to movement across longer distances, for example, across continents.[24] Tankers and barges are also employed for long-distance, often international transport. Rail and truck can also be used for longer distances but are most cost-effective for shorter routes.
- Storage: Midstream service providers provide storage facilities at terminals throughout the oil and gas distribution systems. These facilities are most often located near refining and processing facilities and are connected to pipeline systems to facilitate shipment when product demand must be met. While petroleum products are held in storage tanks, natural gas tends to be stored in underground facilities, such as salt dome caverns and depleted reservoirs.
- Technological applications: Midstream service providers apply technological solutions to improve efficiency during midstream processes. Technology can be used during compression of fuels to ease flow through pipelines; to better detect leaks in pipelines; and to automate communications for better pipeline and equipment monitoring.
While some upstream companies carry out certain midstream operations, the midstream sector is dominated by a number of companies that specialize in these services. Midstream companies include:
- Aux Sable
- Bridger Group
- DCP Midstream
- Enbridge Energy Partners
- Enterprise Products Partners
- Genesis Energy
- Gibson Energy
- Inergy Midstream
- Kinder Morgan Energy Partners
- Oneok Partners
- Sunoco Logistics
- Targa Midstream Services
- TransCanada
- Williams Companies
Environmental impact and future shortages[edit]
Some petroleum industry operations have been responsible for water pollution through by-products of refining and oil spills.
The combustion of fossil fuels produces greenhouse gases and other air pollutants as by-products. Pollutants include nitrogen oxides, sulphur dioxide, volatile organic compounds and heavy metals.
As petroleum is a non-renewable natural resource the industry is faced with an inevitable eventual depletion of the world's oil supply. The BP Statistical Review of World Energy 2007 listed the reserve/production ratio for proven resources worldwide. The study placed the prospective life span of proven reserves in the Middle East at 79.5 years, Latin America at 41.2 years and North America at only 12 years.
The Hubbert peak theory, which introduced the concept of peak oil, questions the sustainability of oil production. It suggests that after a peak in oil production rates, a period of oil depletion will ensue. Since virtually all economic sectors rely heavily on petroleum, peak oil could lead to a partial or complete failure of markets.[25]
According to research by IBIS World, biofuels (primarily ethanol, but also biodiesel) will continue to supplement petroleum. However output levels are low, and these fuels will not displace local oil production. More than 90% of the ethanol used in the US is blended with gasoline to produce a 10% ethanol mix, lifting the oxygen content of the fuel.[26]
Petroleum industry in popular culture[edit]
The Petroleum industry is a favorite subject in contemporary fiction. Films with oil-industry themes include There Will Be Blood (2007) set around Southern California's oil boom of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and Syriana (2005) set in present-day Middle-East.

A ghost with ears and a tail? Hmmm...something's fishy. Why, it's Bubble Puppy, all dressed up to celebrate Halloween with your little Guppy! Kids will be sure to get a giggle out of this fetching cupcake.
School's in session weekdays on NICK
Spread a small dot of frosting on top of the thin spice cookies. Place a cupcake on top with the bottom of the cupcake facing up. Spread another dot of frosting on top of the cupcake and attach a doughnut hole. Repeat with the remaining cupcakes. Place the cupcakes in the freezer to set, about 15 minutes.
Spread some of the remaining frosting over the cupcake assembly to coat lightly. Repeat with the remaining cupcakes.
Meanwhile roll out the prepared fondant in batches, using cornstarch to prevent sticking, to a 1/16-inch thickness. Cut out as many 4-inch circles as possible. (Using a small plate can be helpful here.) Repeat with the remaining fondant and cornstarch to make 12 circles.
Arrange the fondant circle on top of the lightly frosted cupcake. Make some ruffles around the base of the cupcake, leaving the top smooth. Repeat with the remaining cupcakes and fondant.
Cut twenty-four 3/4-inch triangles from the marshmallows as the ears. Cut twelve 1 1/2-inch strips from the marshmallows as the tails. Attach a tail marshmallow to the cookie under the fondant cover with a dot of frosting. Add two triangles on either side at the top of the cupcake as the ears with a dot of frosting. Roll out the soft caramels on a clean work surface. Cut the rolled caramels into the end of the tail pieces, ears, and dots. Attach with a dot of water to secure.
Use the edible black marker or food coloring to make the black eyes on the fondant.

Just joined the community because I'm interested in juicing for 7-10 every other month or so, and I had a few questions.
After watching Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead, and doing some research it's pretty obvious weight loss is a great side effect from juicing. The thing is I'm 5'9" at 130 and I'm currently working to put on some more muscle and weight. Obviously I'm concerned about losing weight and was wondering what others have done to avoid or minimize this.
I noticed one post about using avocados as a good source of extra calories/fat through raw food, but I haven't seen any posts specific to weight training. I'd like to eventually move more and more towards a raw food diet, but I plan on doing it in stages so that I can measure how it's affecting my performance in cycling, climbing and weight training, then make necessary adjustments.
Thanks for the help!

the witch is stealing an hourglass..get it?... time bandit
the guy had a racist agenda to "prove" the LA cops are racist. Ironic. So is killing innocent people to 'clear your name'. crazy loser
the first rule of Hate Club is Fuck You. the second rule is Fuck You .
Anonymous turned into a bunch of pussies when the Mexican drug cartels took the fight back to them. I used to be a fan, no more.
For some reason i feel like he did see her do this...but since she was his superior her word overruled his....and is that what happens when you complain about another officer? No wonder hes so pissed...
I just read the entire case file. Not once is there a shred of convincing evidence. The hotel employees, the arrested suspect's son, all responding officers, and the medical examiners all testified that there was not police brutality and that no officer had kicked the suspect in the face. You have everyone but two people agreeing that police brutality did not occur.
The two people are Chris Dorner, a lunatic with delusions of persecution and grandeur, and the suspect who was arrested who suffers from severe mental disorders. Not exactly reliable. Especially when you weigh their testimony against everyone else. Not to mention that neither the suspect nor Dorner put forth the police brutality allegations until weeks later.
Also this case file shows signs of Dorner's mental instability. He said that an officer urinated on his clothing and duffel bag at his locker in retaliation for testifying against an officer. So the police sent his clothing to the lab for tests. Turns out that it wasn't urine. Someone had spilled a drink on the floor and not noticed. But in Dorner's paranoid insane mind he was being persecuted and being racially profiled. He was imagining some elaborate conspiracy against him.
This guy is tragically nuts. A murderer. Anyone who supports him is misinformed.
So, he just imagined the guy getting kicked, or worse, he's lying about the whole incident? He then invested years of his life defending himself? Doesn't make sense.
If he's a murderer as you say then the cops who are shooting up pick-up trucks are way beyond 'tragically nuts'.
Cops are idiots by and large. They are not trained properly at all. You remember the shooting outside of the Empire State Building a few months ago? The cops show up to respond to a shooting. They see the shooter. They open fire. They miss the shooter but end up wounding nine civilians nearby. This happens every single day in America.
Police need better training. And also you have to remember that most police don't know combat conditions. When they are up against an armed threat they piss their pants. So if they think Chris Dorner is in a truck and he's armed to the teeth they'll go nuts shooting up that vehicle. The military should be handling the hunt for Dorner. Not these glorified security guards.
He didn't invest years of his life defending himself. He spent years of his life purchasing weapons and acquiring an arsenal to kill people with. He knew that he lied about his case. But his mental disorder cause him to have a messiah complex. He imagines the persecution and has delusions of grandeur. He is a proven liar. The case file is overwhelmingly damming if you look at it objectively and not with some biased anti-police viewpoint.
Dorner imagines some police brutality. To justify his preconceived notions of racism and brutality amongst the LAPD. He took a job at the LAPD hoping to see some police brutality. When he saw none he manufactured some. Then he takes it to a hearing where he loses because it's all in his head. As everyone who testified, including civilians and the son of the suspect, and the medical examiner, found that no police beating happened. And now he has his sick twisted justification to start murdering people. "No one believed me...I'm a martyr....I'm an example". It was a self fulfilling prophecy.
We know he's insane. He said that officers were following him. No proof. That they were harassing him including urinating on his possessions. What really happened? Someone spilled a drink in the locker room and this nutjob thought it was a "message job". That's what happens when you think the entire world revolves around you.
You read his manifesto? Where he's talking about Tim Tebow and Charlie Sheen. He's a lunatic. That's not someone sane. Those are the ramblings of a madman. A murderer. That manifesto proves that he is out of his mind.
Again quit being a fucking idiot. Chris Dorner is insane. If he wasn't busy killing civilians then those women in the truck wouldn't have been shot at. He's the one who created this mess. He's the one putting everyone on edge because there is an armed lunatic running around threatening to murder entire families. His ex-wife said he was insane. He has no friends. He is a true psychopath who created this entire situation.
Are the cops who shot that truck at fault? Yes. Should they be fired. Absolutely. Either that or they should never be allowed to patrol the streets again and be assigned desk duty for life. Does that excuse Chris Dorner of being an insane murderer? No.
DORNER IS "twisted," "super paranoid," "severely emotionally and mentally disturbed."
Written by his ex-girlfriend on Dontdatehimgirl.com -- in 2006.
Is there a very not so quiet media cover up concerning Dorner possibly being a (self-hating?) closeted gay/bisexual man?
..and I won't even get into mentioning the various "medications" that he may have been involved with/in.

Short version: does OAuth2RestTemplate support automatical refresh of a expired token, given that a refresh token is provided?
The scenario: I have configured a OAuth2RestTemplate with all the stuff needed to get the right result with a
restTemplate.getForObject(remoteResourceUrl, ObjectNode.class);
and I have also set the refresh token to the access token. But if the access token is expired, I get a 401. In my custom oauth2 implementation for the specific service (salesforce) the difference in the POST for the refresh token is that, other than the refresh token itself, the grant type is "refresh_token" rather than "authorization_code"
Now, what I was going to implement in my custom code is a mechanism that can handle the expired access token (401 answer) and automatically send a refresh request and store the new token.
I expected the spring implementation to do the same and I bet it can, I just do not know how.

As a dog owner, you're very aware that dogs need to run and play, and you want your dog to have the freedom he or she needs, but you also want to make sure your pet is safe. Dog containment supplies and dog training equipment allow you to give your dog the maximum amount of freedom while still teaching him or her what the boundaries are.

Dog Containment & Dog Training Supplies
Some of the most exciting dog containment supplies and dog training equipment involve electronic containment. These devices create an electronic "fence" that your dog is trained not to cross with a humane shock collar. The collar applies quick, gentle shocks when the dog gets too close to the fence, and that increases in frequency as they continue to approach, so your dog quickly learns what the boundaries of his roaming area are. Of course, you can also find traditional kennels and outdoor enclosures for your pet at Sam's Club, plus a lot of other high quality dog containment supplies and dog training equipment. And best of all, you will be able to find these supplies at prices that should easily fit within your pet care budget. Furthermore, if you have other training issues, like potty training for your pet, Sam's Club has the products you need to help you with that as well. If you're ready for inexpensive, quality, effective training for your pet, so that your dog can fully enjoy the outdoors even when you can't keep a close eye on him or her, take a look at Sam's Club's containment and training devices today.

Susquehannock Trail ProRally History
Source: STPR and Rally America
Website: http://stpr.org/
- History
Rochester, New York has always been a very active area for Rallying. In the 1960's and early 70's the local Rochester clubs presented two annual performance night rally events, run out of Rochester, down into the Finger Lakes area of the State. These events were part of the M.O.N.Y. series (Michigan, Ohio and New York) and were the forerunner of the Pro Rally series as we know it today. Even though these events were mainly held at night on remote roads, using a set average speed, they did often attract the attention of the local police and the occasional resident.
The route instructions might have indicated an average speed of only 49 mph, but careful adjustment of the odometer factor by the Rally Master often boosted the actual average speed well into the 50's. In those days there were no separation of transits and stages - it was more like one big stage on open roads. To increase the average speed even more, you had to stop at the controls, get your time, get back in the car and leave. The perfect time for a control was usually on the 55 second mark, and your out time was the top of the minute you entered. It was often almost impossible to make the required speeds, especially for the Snowblower, which was run in similar ice and snow conditions to that of the Maine Forest Rally. These events were run from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. and were around 500 miles long, with the only service a gas station about every 150 miles.
The last of these events to be run out of Rochester, was in 1972, and while the exact reason they were not held anymore is not know, it was probably a combination of pressure from the authorities, lack of insurance, and lack of National organization.
In the next few years a conversion to stage events was beginning to take place around the country. There was a desire of the Rochester rally following to join this conversion, but a major road block in New York State, was a law that was on the books, which banned the use of the roads for motorsport racing. This law was put into place after a spectator was killed at Watkins Glen in the early '50's, during an annual race there, which was run through the streets of the town in the days prior to the track being built.
In 1975-6, a SCCA Finger Lakes Region member by the name of Bill Leathersich, tried to restart the night performance rallies, but when he found that the interest was not there, he turned to starting to organize a stage event. He found that Pennsylvania did not have a law regarding motorsports, and also found that there were an abundance of great rally roads in the forests just south of New York State. Bill made some great selections in those early days, many of the roads we use today were found by him and of course probably the most important choice was that of selecting Wellsboro to be the Headquarters of the Rally. From that starting point the relationship between the Finger Lakes Region and Wellsboro has grown to point now where the Rally is jointly organized by two committees, one in Wellsboro and one in Rochester.
In May 1977 the first Susquehannock Trail PRO Rally, or as it is mainly known today, STPR, was held. In those early days, it was the members of the Rochester clubs such as, Triumph Touring Club, Corvair Owners Club, MG Car Club, SCCA and several others, that worked together to get that all important first event off the ground.
From these beginnings, the event has grown to become one of the 'Classic' stage rallies in the country, winning the SCCA's 'Best ProRally' award an unprecedented seven times, in 1993, 1998, 1990, 1995, 1997, 2000 and most recently in 2003.

Hey all,
I am a newbie to jsr94 and I'm looking for resources. Specifically related to drools integration using the drools-brms. I have downloaded the latest version of spring-modules (0.9) and I have read the documentation regarding drools-integration. (what little there is...)
Anyway, I would be very appreciative if ANYONE could give me a few pointers, at least with the JNDI setup.
I'm really stoked about getting this setup, but I can't seem to get things started.
Thanks ahead of time.
