WP Movie Ratings is a wordpress plugin that makes rating movies very easy. At its core is a bookmarklet, which combined with Internet Movie Database (imdb.com) and a little bit of AJAX magic lets you rate movies with just 1 click. Also, there is no need to write the title of the movie as it is automatically fetched from imdb. Optionally, you can also write a short review for each movie. The output from this plugin is a list of recently watched movies, which you can put anywhere on your blog (it's a matter of one simple function call from the template). Published movie reviews are hReview compliant.
Here are the changes for v1.4:
- new features: pagination when in page mode, default sorting options for page mode, option to highlight top rated movies, ability to edit imdb links for already rated movies.
- movies are now grouped together by month when sorting by view date in page mode.
- added a new database field with optional link that is used instead of imdb.
- if no imdb link is given, the plugin will not look for the movie's title on imdb.
- fixed lots of rendering problems, character encoding issues and bugs.

Do You Know How Amino Acids Can Help with Addiction?
Amino acid expert Don Tyson will present at the next OC Health Practitioners' Group on how amino acids can help your patients who struggle with addiction
Over the past 40 years, Mr. Tyson has been a consultant to over 2,000 doctors in the US and Europe, and has lectured hundreds of times to health professionals and scientists. He has been an invited speaker at prestigious institutions such as the University of California-Irvine School of Medicine, the Department of Dermatology at the Miami School of Medicine, L.A. Chiropractic College, the Canadian Department of Drug Rehabilitation, The National College of Naturopathic Medicine, and the UCLA School of Medicine.
Mr. Tyson was the first to introduce full-spectrum oral amino acid formulations for stress, blood, and sugar management, as well as single amino acids. He was also the first to introduce enteric preparations of the active forms of B-1, B-2, B-6, and A.T.P. In 1985, Mr. Tyson founded Aatron Laboratories to provide doctors with amino acid testing and interpretation. He worked at the National Institute of Health in Bethesda, MD - Div. of Research Services. Mr. Tyson then spent 10 years at Remedco Medical Laboratory where he studied, interpreted plasma, and conducted urine amino acid assays.
Cost to attend the event is $15 and includes dinner, networking and guest speaker. Please bring your business card and flyers for networking! To RSVP, visit our Meetup page - http://www.meetup.com/

Quotes from 2015 VPP Participating Professors, Host Companies and
Career Services Administrators
Professor Jenna Drenten, Loyola University Chicago: "I think I was expecting a "job shadow" like experience in which I may sit in on meetings or observe the agency world in action. My VPP experience was much more rooted in one-on-one conversations with agency employees across various departments. Therefore, I was happy to have the two-day orientation in order to help generate and refine interesting and meaningful questions to ask during each conversation. The orientation provided a foundational knowledge and provided a point of comparison across agencies. I really enjoyed the orientation agencies!
"The VPP has given me more confidence in my expertise and ability to teach the next generation of advertising industry professionals. I left New York with an entire notebook filled with new contacts, case study examples for class, and research questions to pursue in the future. The only downfall of the AEF Visiting Professor Program is that I can't do it every single year!"
"Overall, this was an incredible learning opportunity! I would do it again in a heartbeat, and I am already envious of the future VPP participants. The AEF staff and board members were all so welcoming and informative, which made the experience that much more enjoyable. I look forward to continuing to work with the AEF in the future!"
Deborah Broda, Account Director: "This year's visiting professor, Jenna Drenten, was a delight to host! She came prepared to ask questions, gathered insights, experienced the workings of an ad agency and actually conducted research while she was here on social media. She was an excellent fit as she is very interested in social media and consumer insights—two areas that DDB is strong in. Overall, I feel the AEF VPP is a worthwhile program. Jenna left here feeling like she had gained valuable insights, knowledge and made a number of contacts that she will be reaching out to again."
Energy BBDO
Professor Sydney Dillard, DePaul University: "During my professorship I visited every major department of the agency. I met with someone from research and development, production and editing, account planning, account management, creative, global acquisitions, and even the CEO. I never expected the CEO to talk to me so openly about some of the challenges she faces as well as her struggles with work-life balance. It was a wonderful experience.
"Much of my perception was the same prior to attending and after completing the program. More than anything, I felt that my attitudes and believes were strengthened, giving a boost of confidence in the subject matter that I provide for my students."
"I hope to utilize both the information learned in the meetings with the agency representatives and future focus groups, in order to design better learning modules for student, particularly in advertising ethics courses."
Ashley Sawatzke, Account Supervisor: "Sydney fit in extremely well with the company. Everyone who met with her commented on her enthusiasm and perspective she brought to the discussions. It was great to host her!"
Professor Glynnis Johnson, Bethune-Cookman University: "The meetings with HR representatives where they discussed what qualities their respective agencies look for in student/entry level hires were the most beneficial. My host agency meeting and tour opportunities provided me with an understanding of how a worldwide agency operates."
Maria Gallione, Account Management Development Director: "Glynnis' agenda was designed to be a learning experience. In addition to shadowing the Smuckers team, she met with the following departments: Corporate Communications, New Business, Strategy, Marketing & Analytics, Music, Production and Shopper Marketing. Glynnis also sat in on a half-day presentation from the Grey Masters students. Grey Masters is a program for Grey's up and coming talent where they are given a client brief and asked to solve a real-world marketing challenge using the agency's proprietary tools. It's a great overview of the creative development process Grey goes through with our clients."
Professor Robert Harrison, Western Michigan University: "I was able to meet with most everyone on consumer insights team to gain valuable understanding about what they do and who they do it. Also, they provide invaluable insights about what they expect from incoming college student employees and what I can do to prepare the students for a career on the consumer insights teams. As a side, I was able to record a meeting with the global insights director and I have to say that the conversation was so good that I plan on converting that conversation into a lecture for me class this spring. His discussions about the changing nature of marketing as it relates to social media and content marketing blew me away."
HAVAS evaluation form was not returned.
Professor Elyria Kemp, University of New Orleans: "I am very pleased that I was placed on the client side. Garnering this perspective was particularly useful for me since I teach Strategic Marketing Management courses on the MBA level. It gave me further insight into how an organization strategically approaches its branding and advertising initiatives. At the same time, I was able to learn more about agency work. I met with individuals at Ogilvy & Mather that are responsible for account management, strategy, planning, media and creative for the IBM brand.
"This opportunity has really given me up-to-date insight, which I will be incorporating in my teaching and classroom discussions. The advertising and marketing field is so dynamic and I learned about new developments with digital media, which I can go back and share with my students. I can also go back and share some of my experiences with Watson in my health care marketing classes. Finally, as far as my research is concerned, I am exploring further opportunities to broaden my emotions research into a business-to-business context. I have also gained additional insight on how I would like to approach other areas of research I am pursuing with respect to customer engagement and advocacy."
Sara Sindelar, Brand Systems and Advertising Professional: "Elyria Kemp was a great fit for IBM. Since she teaches on healthcare marketing and IBM has a big initiative on Watson Healthcare I think she was able to take the back to her classroom and was already familiar with a lot of work IBM has done. She seemed to have done a lot of research on the company and the brand prior to joining us which allowed her to come with a lot of questions to be answered.
"It seemed a lot of her conversations sparked possible research for her to work on in the future and taught her things to bring back to the classroom to keep her more current with the industry. If she does work on research that aligns to B2B conversations we would love to hear from her and learn about that work."
"Professor Kemp was able to share time with various people and departments. She spent time with our Ogilvy team and met with strategy, digital, creative and account people. At IBM she met with marketing, advertising, client references, geography teams from around the world, social team and all things related to the IBM brand. We had asked the Professor for any interests prior to joining us so we could best align her to certain people and meetings. She was also able to shadow us in meetings where appropriate. It happened to be a big two-day meeting during her visit with all our Ogilvy and IBM colleagues from around the world and she was able to listen in to those presentations and our brainstorming on where the IBM Brand is going."
J. Walter Thompson Atlanta
Professor Deborah Gerthardt, University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill: "I had many interview-style conversations with individuals and teams so that I could learn how each unit contributed to JWT's creative work. I spoke with people specializing in Human Resources, Creative, Strategy and Planning, Business Development, PR and Communications, Digital Media and Production.
"I gained a whole new understanding of the industry through my fellowship. I now see that advertising agencies are partners with their clients and work together to create strategies that help brand owners connect with their communities in meaningful ways. I learned that this work involves as much listening as creating. It incorporates this amazing mix of art, math, branding and psychology. I now see that an excellent ad agency can help an organization understand its strengths and communicate its place in the world so that it can write a meaningful narrative that connects it with consumers. Good advertising, I now see, is not only about setting up a megaphone and getting attention. It involves many different types of research and genuine engagement. And I did not appreciate the extent to which the field involves immediate responsiveness and constant attention to current events. It has now been several months since my fellowship ended, and we are deep into the fall semester. There is not a single day where I do not benefit from all I learned at JWT."
Ann McClintock, Senior Director, Human Resources: "She was an excellent fit- very interested in all aspects of the advertising agency world, very engaging with employees and really had an interest in learning as much as possible so she could take it back to her classroom and educate her students."
J. Walter Thompson NYC
Professor Kristin Comeforo, University of Harford: "What impressed me most about the industry, as exemplified through the agencies, was the level of collaboration across the agency areas (i.e.: producers, creatives, account management). The buzzwords "ideas from everywhere" were not just words, but rang true. Another thing I was impressed by was the amount of research that goes in to each brief, etc.… While this was not necessarily surprising, it was exciting to see the research in action, and observe how research leads to insights, which come alive in messaging.
"My experience through the VPP will immediately impact my teaching. I was given a lot of material (i.e.: creative briefs, onboarding and competitive review decks) that I am able to share with students. Also, I am teaching our Advertising Competition class starting in the fall, which requires students to create an integrated marketing communication campaign for a REAL client, through the American Advertising Federation (AAF). The class is part of the National Student Advertising Competition (NSAC). Everything I learned at J. Walter Thompson – from research to idea generation to execution – will be directly applied in this class. I also picked up on industry jargon that my students can use in their presentation, which will impress the industry judges. I am confident that our team will do well, and owe much of this confidence to my VPP experience."
Carly Wengrover, Public Relations Manager: "Kristin was a great fit for J. Walter Thompson New York. Her eagerness to learn about the agency, as well as her willingness to do anything and be flexible when necessary, made working with her easy. Kristin is also very friendly and fun, and in turn, got along well with the teams she was placed with, and fit with the general J. Walter Thompson culture. Kristin attended an offsite strategic session with one of the clients at the onset of her fellowship with J. Walter Thompson. She was invited to be part of the brainstorming session and provided input.
"Kristin asked for a holistic reboot of the agency experience, so we did just that. We scheduled her time at the agency in such a way that she was able to shadow a number of different departments in order to gain an understanding of how projects are brought to life. Our colleagues were very helpful and wanted to ensure that Kristin was kept as busy as possible. They also wanted to make sure Kristin was placed with them during times that would be the most useful and interesting for her, including brainstorms with clients, briefing sessions, etc."
Lapiz/Leo Burnett
Professor Monique Bell, University of California, Fresno: "Overall, the AEF's Visiting Professor Program provided me a rich and unique opportunity to engage with a well-recognized agency and its approach to creative strategy. My agency liaison, Diego Figueroa, a senior strategist, orchestrated a meaningful experience that will enhance the depth of my teaching in the Integrated Marketing Communications course this fall.
"Prior to visiting with the agency, I had a realistic perspective of the advertising industry thanks to my work as marketing manager on the client side. However, my perceptions and experiences were dated since I have been working in academia for nearly eight years. I lacked familiarity with how social media, digital marketing, data and technology were influencing agencies' work, interaction with clients and effectiveness. After my visit, I have gained a view of the contemporary challenges agencies face as well as the tools that are available."
Diego Figueroa, SVP Director of Strategy: "Professor Monique Bell was a perfect fit for a company like Lapiz / Leo Burnett. Her area of expertise, current interests and academic field made her a great collaborative partner for Lapiz. Her attitude and knowledge were greatly received and her constant interest to keep learning was great motivators for everyone who interacted with her during the program.
"Professor Bell had a great contribution to the Lapiz team. With constant interactions with some strategy team members she provided a great deal of insight and valuable information on research methodologies as well as solid points of view on diversity, inclusion and multiculturalism."
Professor Colin Campbell, Kent State University: "This experience was very helpful for both my teaching and research. For teaching, it was incredibly useful to find out which parts of what we teach mirror what goes on in "the real world". This included things such as strategy, which I was surprised (happily) to see is taken so seriously at an agency. Learning industry terms and employee roles was very useful. I am actually planning to revise my projects and assignments to better mirror the process and stages I observed. In terms of research, I found it very useful to get perspectives from so many different people on the issues and challenges they are facing on a daily basis, and what areas they feel are most in need of better understanding."
Keisha Kellman, HR Operations Manager: "Colin totally added value during the time he was at McCann. He was able to educate us on the direction that advertising online with a focus on regulation is going, especially with his Native Advertising talk. Colin had an opportunity to meet with leadership from Account Management, Strategy, Integrated Production, Creative, Social, Business Affairs, Project Management, Craft Global Production and our executive office, and meeting our agency's president. Colin was able to take what he learned from each leader as well as observing the Social team and apply it to his fall lesson plans with his students. This was feedback he gave me during our Exit Chat on his last day."
Ogilvy & Mather Chicago
Professor Michael Devlin, DePaul University: "As someone who teaches creative, I was able to get a better sense how planning and creative can and should work together. This outlet not only influences my teaching, but will also influence the way I advise students. Seeing what planners do day-to-day, how they operate in the organization, and what skills are required will enable me to guide students interesting in advertising, but may lack interest or the necessary skills for the creative department. From this experience, I can emulate a strategic process beginning with research and insights and ending with creative storytelling.
"Following my Lunchtime Talk, I was asked to meet with several executives who wanted to learn more about my research. This relationship has extended past our two weeks together, and I have been asked to come back and share more insights and follow-up during the summer months. I believe this experience was reflective of one of AEF's primary missions – bridging the gap between academia and industry."
Ogilvy & Mather Chicago evaluation form was not returned.
Ogilvy & Mather New York City
Professor Kenneth Bates, University of San Diego: "I have a new language to share with students. I was pleasantly surprised to see how much of what I teach is relevant to how account planning is done, but my teachings are really based on my own ideas and the limited consulting work I have done. So, now I have vocabulary to attach to the concepts I share. Additionally, I have a new appreciation for the subtleties of interactions. I spent a lot of time just observing people and listening to conversations. I learned a lot about culture and communication that I will be able to share. It will not necessarily go into some lesson plan or lecture, but I feel confident that I can address student questions with an informed response when they ask about agency life."
Alison Demos, Senior Partner: "Kenny met with planners who worked on Holiday Inn, Pitney Bowes, and a couple of other clients as well. Each was at a different phase of strategic development, so he was able to see how teams develop research priorities or – alternatively - make use of existing research and insights to deliver better work. Kenny's talk was called, "Consuming Immortality: The role of brands in strengthening consumer worldviews" and it was quite interesting. It was about how reminders of mortality strengthen people's existing value systems, including affection for brands that they affiliate with. It was a well-attended talk and people asked good questions."
The Richards Group
Professor Wendy Macias, Texas Christian University: "For me the change was not in the actual perceptions but where they came from. Never having worked in the industry directly, my perceptions before came from indirect observations (news, textbooks and actual ads). The VPP gave me more direct experience that confirmed that my indirect views were on track. I attained confirmation that I really do get the industry which increases my confidence in educating my students.
"[The VPP program] it has given me added confidence and more specific examples of how things are done in industry. At this point, I see the impact being greater for my teaching and advising of students but research may be impacted as well."
The Richards Group evaluation form was not returned.
Young & Rubicam
Professor Elizabeth Miller, University of Massachusetts: "I had very little knowledge about the industry prior to participating in the program and now have a much greater understanding of different roles (account management, planning, production) and skills/ personality characteristics that make one well-suited for these roles. I also gained a greater appreciation of all the legal aspects and intricacies that impact the production process. So, with respect to the question of whether my "before" and "after" perceptions of the industry differed, I would say I have a much greater understanding, appreciation, and admiration for those in the industry.
"I can already see the program improving my teaching and advising. For example, when reading something from a doctoral student recently, something felt like it was missing – I realized that the student was providing the facts, but not telling a story. I was able to describe this issue (and solutions) using what I had learned from talking to a planner about how they translate their research into a campaign strategy / message. I have also recently been working with our undergraduate student advertising agency pursuing new work with a new client. In discussing the budget, I was able to raise issues related to licensing artwork for use in the creative – an issue I would not have considered prior to my conversation with a print production person at Y&R. Similarly, my whole experience at Y&R gave me much greater insight in terms of how to formulate and communicate our proposal. When the new semester starts in September, I expect that I will also use the knowledge gained from my experiences in my classes, and will direct students towards the resources I learned about. I will also encourage students to apply for jobs and internships in the industry (and will be able to give them better advice about how to do so)."
Whitney Goodman, Account Director: "Elizabeth Miller was a good fit for the agency in that her research in nutrition was very relevant to many of our consumer accounts (food and healthcare). She was able to spend time with many of our departments (account management, planning, production, human resources, new business) and many of our accounts, learning many of the agency processes and getting to observe presentations and meetings. She had access to senior leaders at the agency and asked a lot of questions."
Career Services Administrators
Kim Crabbe, Executive Director, Skidmore College: "The visits to the agencies were a unique opportunity for me to get an inside view into the similarities and overwhelming differences within agencies. The culture, strategy, services, and working conditions are critical characteristics to share with students who are interested in following this path and making decisions about where they want to work. Not only will I be able to more accurately describe a career in advertising, I will also be able to share the differences among agencies. This will benefit my staff, as well as the students I meet with.
"I am thrilled to have contacts in these agencies, people who I can refer to for questions and advice when working with students. In addition, it is great to be able to connect with the Skidmore alumni who are currently working at these agencies (there are a total of 8) to let them know I visited their company and perhaps create a new Skidmore pipeline into that agency. I plan to follow up with each agency we met with to create an ongoing dialog. Of course, I plan to work with Sharon and AEF concerning the Inside Advertising Speakers Program. As I mentioned in my application essay, I am designing a new PDI (Professional Development Intensive) in Advertising. This experience, along with the contacts I made, helps connect me to the industry so I can better plan, organize, and deliver a great new program for our students."
"There isn't always the opportunity for staff to work with faculty on the same level playing field, particularly in a liberal arts environment. I was very interested to learn about their work and research and appreciated their perspectives on the agencies. I made a few good contacts among the professors that I intend to maintain."
Kathleen Mannheimer, Sr. Associate Director, Counseling & Programming, Princeton:
"I am extremely appreciative of the opportunity to participate in the AEF VPP, having had a genuine interest in advertising before the program. I found that this program enriched my understanding of the industry, especially with the insights into the different cultures and emphases of the organizations, and the "deep-dive" strengthened my ability to share relevant information with students at Princeton who have an interest in advertising and lack of knowledge about the industry. Having the faculty participate with us was an informative influence since their focus was so different from ours. We had an eager and intentional interest in how to get our students recruited, and their interest was in creative content to inform their teaching. "
Susan Smith, Vassar College: "Although I've never seen an episode of "Mad Men", I think my perception of the industry was pretty typical (they sit around and create ads to persuade people to buy things and it's a top down culture). Now that I've visited four different agencies, I have a better sense of the culture. The end goal is still the same, but the jobs have changed to fit the times. From my observations at each firm, they appear to be hiring from a young, hip talent pool. It was very helpful to hear from the recruiters about how they hire!"
Tim Mosehauser, Associate Director, Career and Professional Development, Middlebury College: "One pre-conceived notion I had was that the advertising world broke down between creatives and non-creatives. At each agency at least one person brought this issue up, and whether they called it a 'hot house' intensive or something else, I came away noticing that agencies are changing. This is one thing I will share with students. Whether they are a student studying film or English and want to apply their creative ability or a student who really cares about a certain type of brand, there are lots of opportunities. One of my favorite quotes came from RGA: "we operate at the speed of culture". I can see students really resonating with the type of culture where they are really making a difference in a fast paced, energetic, hip and modern environment.
"As a career professional, one of the best parts was hearing from the HR staff about their internship program and hiring process. It was reaffirming to hear their emphasis on LinkedIn, something I talk a lot about with students. I was excited to hear them talk about wanting characteristics in applicants like curiosity and perseverance. I know my students in the liberal arts have an up-hill battle to compete against students coming from portfolio schools, but I know they are talented and it was great to get some inside information and start to make connections."

Is there a simpler way to .....(re: guage)
Is there a simpler way to find out what guage would be with a yarn and needle aside from making a swatch?
I was just wondering this: Can you wrap yarn around a needle (of chosen size) for an inch, then count every second thread - and that be your guage? Just wondering?
Nope...because gauge depends on both the yarn AND the knitter. My gauge using the same yarn and the same needle might be different than yours....so you're safest swatching it! Unless it's something that doesn't need to fit well, like a blanket or scarf. ;)
I thought so. :( I was just hoping someone would share a magical way to figure out guage and save me (and everyone) some time. :rollseyes:
If I could figure that out, I am sure I could find a way to make some serious $$$ from it. I'm not sure there is anyone who likes swatching!
Hildie does....but that's only because she's a math freak.
i DO and i AM!!!!!!!! I usually end up making 3 or 4 swatches for a project. I even swatch for felted projects (usually).
My easy guage formula: Cast on 20 stithes, knit 5-10 rows, measure to the nearest quarter inch how wide it is, and divide 20 by that measurement. If you do enough you'll eventually be able to do it in your head :-)
math is cool.
I don't especially *enjoy* knitting swatches, but I've learned my lesson. I always knit a test swatch now. Ask me why. Go on...
:hiding: why?
Ok.. I did a swatch, but this is why you should always knit a swatch AND wash and dry it.
Because THIS is supposed to be a size XL. NOT a 5X. It is SEVENTY inches around. It was supposed to be 45". :shock:
I knitted this for my sister for Christmas. I spent weeks on it. I struggled to get it finished by Christmas. And it was. She loved it. She took it home, and wore it a few times. Then she washed it. The yarn relaxed and the sweater grew to monstrous proportions.
This is also why I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever use Lion Brand chunky USA again. :doh:
You can see there are several lessons to be learned here.
However, it is a lovely plus sized sweater! :)
wow and that relaxed so bad it wouldn't even be cute with a shirt underneath it cuz the weave got so big...bummer!

Chinese Ambitions
By jimgris-Oracle on Aug 03, 2008
Cool. More competition. Should be good for the West. Right? That competition should be good for Japan as well. Rhetorically, though, this article is interesting. I never hear the Japanese talk this way. Americans are bold rhetorically, and the Chinese are demonstrating that they are as well. Not the Japanese, though. I wonder. Is aggressive rhetoric a necessary ingredient for innovation and growth?

Skip to comments.Saudis worry over North American shale oil surge
Posted on 01/11/2012 10:05:38 AM PST by bayouranger
While the green movement naively harbours hopes it will be able to shut down unconventional oil and gas development, in Saudi Arabia they are already contemplating a time when North American fossil fuel will replace their oil.
Looking past the din of protesters, state-owned oil giant Saudi Aramco is resigned to the fact that its influence will wane because of the massive unconventional fossil-fuel development underway in North America. As such, Saudi Arabia has no plans to raise its production output to 15 million barrels per day from 12 million, said Khalid Al-Falih, the powerful chief executive of Aramco.
There is a new emphasis in the industry on unconventional liquids, and shale gas technologies are also being applied to shale oil, Al-Falih, president and CEO of Saudi Aramco, warned a domestic audience in a speech in Riyadh Monday.
Some are even talking about an era of energy independence for the Americas, based on the immense conventional and unconventional hydrocarbon resources located there. While that might be stretching the point, it is clear that the abundance of resources and the more balanced geographical distribution of unconventionals have reduced the much-hyped concerns over energy security, which once served as the undercurrent driving energy policies and dominated the global energy debate.
Aramco is the powerful state entity that manages the Kingdoms nine-million-barrel-plus oil output. Saudi Arabia has long dominated oil markets by leveraging its spare oil capacity and, as the OPEC kingpin, striking a delicate balance between the interests of oil consumers and the exporter group.
But the oil chiefs remarks reveal Saudi fears that the market dynamics are changing and its dominance over energy markets is under threat by new unconventional finds.
OPEC estimated in a recent report that global reserves of tight oil could be as high as 300 billion barrels, above Saudi Arabias conventional reserves of 260-billion barrels, which are currrently seen as the second-largest in the world after Venezuela.
Global output of non-conventional oil is set to rise 3.4 million bpd by 2015, still dominated by oil sands, to 5.8 million bpd by 2025 and to 8.4 million bpd by 2035 when tight oil would be playing a much bigger role. By 2035, the United States and Canada will still be dominating unconventional oil production with 6.6 million bpd, the group forecasts.
Last year, even as the world consumed nearly 30 billion barrels of oil, not only was the industry able to replace this production but global petroleum reserves actually increased by nearly seven billion barrels, as companies increasingly turned toward higher risk areas, Al-Falih noted.
Clearly, the Kingdom is preparing for new market realities as the discussion on energy has changed from scarcity to abundance, particularly due to the new finds that can be produced feasibly and economically.
In the past, Saudi Arabia, along with its OPEC allies, could drive prices down by opening the taps to ensure unconventional fossil fuels remained firmly buried in the ground. But most analysts now expect oil prices to remain high, at least over the medium term, thanks to tight supplies and continued demand from emerging markets. Thats great news for Canadian oil sands developers, which need prices around US$60 to US$70 per barrel, to make their business models economically feasible.
Saudi Arabias own break-even oil price has also risen sharply in the past few years, making it less likely to pursue a strategy of lower prices. The Institute of International Finance estimates that Saudi Arabias break-even price has shot up US$20 over the past year to US$88, in part due to a generous spending package of US$130-billion announced this year to keep domestic unrest at bay.
The Saudis now find themselves between a shale rock and a hard place: While high crude prices mean the Saudis can maintain their excessive domestic subsidies for citizens, in the long run that means the world is developing new sources, making it less dependent on Saudi oil.
Although the Saudis have vigorously fought the Ethical Oil ads, which paint them in a negative light, they already know their oil is less welcome in the Americas Saudi oil made up a mere 9.3% of U.S. oil imports last year, down from 11.2% five years ago, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.
But while Saudis would be cheering on the green groups with No KXL signs, they dont hold out much hope for renewable energies either. Calling them green bubbles, Al-Falih says governments should stop focusing on unproven and expensive energy mix, as there is frankly no appetite for massive investments in expensive, ill-thought-out energy policies and pet projects.
The confluence of four new realities increasing supplies of oil and gas, the failure of alternatives to gain traction, the inability of economies to foot the bill for expensive energy agendas, and shifting environmental priorities have turned the terms of the global energy dialogue upside down. Therefore, we must recast our discussion in light of actual conditions rather than wishful thinking, the pragmatic chief said.
Somebody should explain this wishful thinking to the green movement.
I think it's safe to say that there were 3000 Americans that would have voted for ethical oil.
As long as Obama is in office they have nothing to worry about.
Where do environmental organizations in the US get their money? I can't believe it's just naive college students.
Yet he won't do it because he values his marriage to ideology more than his marriage to power.
**** the saudis.
If they are "worried" instead of "deeply offended" then I'd say we are making progress, on multiple fronts.
When the day of oil independence comes to America, the Saudis will need to duck and cover. They are responsible for much Islamic radicalism and terrorism.
What a surprise! Apparently the camel humpers don't believe in the Peak Oil horse crap either.
No need to worry. Barry has "got your back".
With zero direct evidence I GUARANTEE the Saudis and OPEC fund the "environmental" movement.
You don't really believe we have no offshore oil because of one stupid oil spill in the 1960's?
"Americans worry about Saudi terrorist-breeding surge"
There; we all have worries.
Imagine this, this is Clancy-ish...
They fall and it gets ugly.
Rather than let the insane insurgents get their high tech assets they fly their F16's and F15's to "a friendly" nation... Israel !!!!
What we really need to do is start converting autos to run on natural gas. If demand has dropped so much that we're now exporting gasoline and oil, think what that would do to oil imports. That's the fastest way to impact oil prices. We've got the natural gas NOW with much more coming. When oil drops below $80/bbl and stays there, as a dividend you'll see the mullahs in Iran tossed out with the garbage. Terrorists will no longer be able to count on Islamic sugar daddies to bank roll their operations either. It's a win win worldwide.
So does the Tides Foundation along with 44 organizations that campaign against Canadian oil. The top recipient was Corporate Ethics International which runs RETHINK ALBERTA, a campaign to pressure the Alberta government by depicting Alberta in a negative light.
In 2010 alone, the Sierra Club was paid $420,000, Environmental Defense Canada Inc. was paid $250,000 and Greenpeace Canada was paid $200,000 for participation in the Tar Sands Campaign, according to 2010 tax returns for Tides USA.
As reported in The Financial Post, in 2009 the U.S. Tides Foundation and Tides Canada funded a total of 36 organizations that campaign against the development of the Alberta oilsands. Of these, 26 organizations were funded by the Tides USA. The total granted to these organizations by Tides USA was $3.6 Million for 2009, according to U.S. tax returns.
In 2009, Tides Canada Foundation paid at least $7 million to 20 organizations that campaign against Canadian oil, according to analysis of Tides Canadas U.S. tax returns. In 2009, fully half of Tides Canadas grants went towards projects on a small but very strategic part of the Canadian coastline: the north coast of B.C., right smack where oil tankers export bound for Asia would need to travel.
Detailed breakdown of Tides Foundation anti-oil contributions here.
Peak Oil is pure horse shiite! (As is the myth of "Climate Change").
I've been saying this for over 25 years: The USA has more untapped oil than the rest of the world combined. To wit, I wrote a college term paper on the "Green River Oil Shale Deposit" in 1985. This particular shale deposit extends from the Rocky Mountains to the Appalachins, and contains more oil than the entire planet has consumed in the past 100 years. It's a monstrous oil field trapped in shale.
The only reasons we haven't tapped into it yet is:
1.) Environmental nazis have too much political influence and thus make it damn near impossible for oil companies to obtain permits and licenses for drilling;
2.) The Arabs keep the price of their oil cheap enough to discourage US oil companies from investing in domestic production.
(EPA regulations and gubmint red-tape, courtesy of Environmental Nazism, make domestic oil production too damn expensive and not worth the headache or financial risk.)
It's not a matter of "if" the USA can be energy independent, it's of a matter of "when". We gots about a trillion barrels of oil sitting beneath our feet. We just gots to go get it.
This is the frustrating part.
Yet he won't do it because he values his marriage to ideology more than his marriage to power.

It stays a liquid until it is the cylinder. Change of state from a liquid to gas, drop in temperature. So you can dial up the Turbo-boost or Compression Ratio. I think their are 3 Euro Conversion firms already for Direct Injection...
So many win wins with this fuel in this configuration.
ignorant,well-meaning soccer moms and rich Hollyweirdos,too.
"...and I promise to stop all new drilling in the US and I
promise to slow down shale oil production, so help me Allah"
Energy/Oil Ping
good idea.
start with government fleet vehicles and if it's successful there, expand from there.
I , for one, don't want to be mandated to convert my vehicle.
You're exactly right. I lived in Japan in the late 1990's when they started doing exactly that with buses and taxicabs. It is a little expensive up front, but ever since the Japanese pay less for a liter of gasoline than most of their European counterparts. They produce maybe 2% of their crude oil needs domestically, roughly 1/10th of what they are able to do in Europe.
All it takes is a political will to do so. We could start by funding the U.S. Postal Service fleet into natural gas conversion, then let them sell their NG fueling supplies to the public. Employ some of the surplus postal workers as NG station attendants, then spin off the NG retail facilities and privatize. That's the quickest way I see to get bipartisan support.
You could start by turning some of the surplus post offices slated for closure into NG refueling stations. Initially, they would serve only postal vehicles, then public transportation and finally the public.
Much? Wahhabism and Salafism are terrorist philosophies.
They don't pay much different any more.
(Price per litre, November 2011)
Japan: 143 Yen ~ 1.47 Euro
France: 1.488
Germany: 1.505
Italy: 1.588
Spain: 1.299
Japan pays less percentage as tax. But in today's high prices for the base product, they are around the same as Europe.
An LNG refueling station takes up a bit more space than the vacuums at car washes. For home use you can buy a unit that hangs on a wall.
You mean CNG, not LNG.
CNG needs just a compressor.
LNG requires a refrigeration unit to drop the temperature down to -260°F and a system to keep it there while it sets in the tank or continuously use/vent it.
The Saudis are Worried,
Fleet service, like buses, UPS and garbage trucks have been using Natural Gas for a while. Not everywhere, but it continuous to grow.
Will Texas ever see the levels of the 80s again?
Yes... we certainly do.
Good... Let 'em worry!
I figure they get a lot of indirect funding from states and entities with a vested interest in keeping the US from doing anything adversarial to their interests, such as oil exploration.
Sleeping with the devil
~Robert Baer
Measured in Dollars, we are already past that point.
Measured in Barrels, who knows, maybe, maybe not.
Measured in unemployed following the boom, I sure hope not.
Est.'s on the Green River are off the charts, but geographiclly it sits in Co, Wy, Ut. on the western side of the Rockies.
They know that when they cannot sell their oil anymore, they will have to go back to living off camel dung.
I had a conversation a couple of months ago with the principal of an engineering firm that does lots of work in the Haynesville Shale in NW Louisiana. His crew also doing some work in Pennsylvania in the Marcellus Shale. I asked him about the tree huggers, etc. and how much of a problem they really were.
His comment was that once the royalty checks began to flow to landowners and local governments, that the racket from the enviros tended to abate.
Yep! Thanks for correction.
Yep! Thanks for correction.
Thanks. What's holding back barrel production in TX?
Capitalism is the only thing to silence the muggers.
I don't think anything is really holding back production in Texas. But you are talking about a rather big hill to climb compared to where we were in the 1980's.
Remember the shale production in the Bakken has several years head start on the shale in Texas' Eagle Ford and Permian Basin.
But it is not for lack of drilling. Lots of rigs working here now.
Nearly half of all drilling rigs operating in the United States are drilling in Texas 927 out of 2,007 at last count.

We are determined to find an answer to every question and provide all necessary information and links to it on our search results page. When developing our search engine, we lean to our understanding of what our users need and what information is valuable for them.
This understanding can be reflected in a number of principles. Not to be taken as strict rules, they still may serve you as guidelines how to improve your site's positions in Yandex search results.
Basic principles
Create a site with interesting and useful content or services. Advertising alone is not the reason why people come to your site.
Think about users first and search engines later. Ask yourself if your site or its elements would still look the same if search engines did not exist.
Add links that may be useful and interesting for your visitors. Do not add them because you have been asked to.
Work through your site's design and navigation. A well designed site allows users to easily find the information they are looking for.
Think about the words (search queries) you want to promote your site for. Make sure that they reflect your site's content and purpose. Be honest. You can probably make people find and hit your site for any query, but they will not stay if the site provides no answer to their question.
Undesirable techniques
Listed below are some of the most common and widespread deceptive techniques aimed at search engine ranking manipulation. Using techniques like these will negatively affect your site's ranking or lead to the site being partially or completely excluded from the search database. Therefore, we highly discourage you from using these practices.
The list is not complete and we might have left some of the similar techniques unmentioned, but it does not justify their use. Rather, follow the general spirit of our recommendations, and your site will not experience problems in Yandex.
We do not approve of:
Sites with little or no original content (including content aggregators and affiliate programs with no extra value of their own)
Doorway sites existing solely for the purpose of redirecting users to other domains
Auto generated (gibberish) text
Keyword stuffing, i.e. overloading pages with large numbers of keywords
Hidden (or barely visible) text and links
Excessive and aggressive advertisement, including the usage of pop-up, pop-under and click-under ads
Linking to other resources solely to increase their ranking in search results
Link farming, i.e. having a group of sites hyperlinking to each other site in the group
Cloaking, i.e. presenting different content to users and search engine crawlers
Malicious behavior such as infecting users with malware, redirecting them to infected domains, phishing, parent window redirection, etc.
User behavior emulation
Groups of sites belonging to the same owner and offering the same goods or services, multiplied to occupy as much positions in search results as possible.
Forums and advertising boards with large amounts of non-moderated spam may also be excluded from search results. We also do not include site search results pages and recommend disallowing them in robots.txt.
When generating a response to a user's query, we use every possible factor that would help us to provide the most complete and relevant answer. Links from one site to another are one of the oldest and most important factors in estimating the trust level for a certain site as a source of information. When webmasters place links to help or advise their visitors, or because they simply like the site, these links help us to further improve our search quality.
However, as the large role that links play in the ranking algorithms is universally recognized, it inevitably leads to attempts of search engine manipulation through their usage. Moreover, link trade has long ago become an industry.
The situation when the large percent of links are placed on the pages for commercial reasons depreciates their value and makes it much harder for us to estimate the real degree of trust to a given site. Therefore, we have since taken measures to reduce the influence of SEO links and make sure that:
Link trading sites would lose the ability to manipulate our ranking.
Link purchasing would not lead to the purchasing site's rank being increased.
We also do not guarantee that the ranking of link trading sites will not be decreased.
We believe that advertising should not get in the way of comfortable navigation and should not make it harder for users to find necessary information. One form of online advertising that makes the experience less comfortable is the pop-up ads. These ads, which often display adult content, move up and down as the page is scrolled and often cover the main content, thus blocking the access to the information. The ads usually have a close button, but in fact will often navigate the user to the advertised site when the button is clicked on. This is deceptive behavior. They also constantly strive to avoid the ad blocking tools.
Since we want to make sure that our users find their answers in an easy and comfortable way, the site may receive a lower ranking if it uses such forms of online advertising.
The same policy applies to sites that make use of pop-under and click-under ads. In this case the ad appears behind the main browser window and may remain there unnoticed until the browser is closed or minimized.
We crawl millions of pages daily, and not all of them have the same informational value. Some pages contain little or no information and will never be able to provide a relevant answer to any question. Thus all indexed documents are analyzed by our special algorithms and pages with no informational value are not included in the search database.
It must be noted that, since these excluded pages would never appear in search results anyway, their exclusion does not affect the site's attendance and traffic. At the same time, they continue to be crawled regularly, and may yet be included in the search database at some point if so decided by the algorithms.

How can I override wpStoreCart's presets for placement of additional images (gallery) and text? The presets (directly after thumbnail, directly after add to cart, directly after the intro, and after description) are not working well. The gallery image is currently below but to the right of the product image and there's a large negative space below the product. It doesn't look right.
PLUS the text for the description is not aligned with the title, price, etc.; there should be more leading between the category options so that the boxes aren't slammed up against each other; and the word "Comments" should not be aligned at the bottom, left of the comment box.
If this is CSS, please give me the style names. If PHP, please tell me the files and lines.
I have to fix these eyesores.

Reserve Bank governor Lesetja Kganyago has announced that the repo rate will remain on hold at 6%, for now.

South Africa has raised its benchmark rate as inflation threatens to exceed the central bank's target.
Scots head to the polls this week to determine the future of the UK, making investors jittery and impacting markets, which loathe uncertainty.
Reserve Bank Governor Gill Marcus announced an interest rate hike on Thursday, while highlighting strike action and excessive salaries and bonuses.
The recent rates hikes by distressed emerging markets are also due to a slowdown in China.
The repo rate hike will probably increase the price of residential rentals and could affect the Consumer Price Index, says FNB.
A lower-than-expected inflation increase means there is less chance of a repo rate hike in the next quarter, say analysts.
The Reserve Bank's acknowledgment that a rate hike had been discussed extensively has caused the rand to strengthen and bond yields to go up.
The repo rate will remain unchanged at 5%, meaning that the prime lending rate from banks to consumers will stay at 8.5%, says Gill Marcus.
Governor Gill Marcus says the South African Reserve Bank will maintain the current repo rate.
Reserve Bank Governor Gill Marcus says rising inflationary risks from a weaker rand and a slowing economy are limiting room to adjust interest rates.
Cosatu says the South African Reserve Bank has "missed yet another opportunity" to alleviate unemployment by keeping the repo rate unchanged.
A flailing rand dogged by labour unrest and the threat of unreasonably high wages has prompted the SA Reserve Bank to keep the repo rate unchanged.
As expected, the reserve bank left the repo rate unchanged at 5% at its monetary policy committee (MPC) meeting.
Following its monetary police committee's three-day meeting, the South African Reserve Bank has left the repo rate at 5% for the third time.
The Reserve Bank's monetary policy committee has kept the repo rate unchanged at 5%.

Attempting suicide is not worth it. Just imagine how different your life would be in say a year and a half..even this time next year you might have even got some conditional offers to become a vet?
I just think you haven't give it much of a chance for you to show yourself your capabilities because you owe yourself that!
Hope your feeling much better now
Thinking about overdosing...
|Posted on
To the OP, if you haven't already you need to discuss these feelings and events with your GP sooner rather than later. The sooner you mention it the sooner this can be dealt with.
In the mean time if you're feeling suicidal I urge you to either contact:
Samaritans: 08457 90 90 90
Papyrus: 0800 068 41 41
I am praying for you. Please put things into perspective and realise that suicide is a permanent solution to temporary problems.
Most painful slowest agonising way to go... Please dont put yourself through that...
Sorry, but untill you have experienced suicidal thoughts yourself you have no idea how hellish it can be for someone. How dare you accuse the OP of being selfish, you have no idea what you are talking about! If the OP decides not to take the overdose, it shouldn't be because he/she is worried about the remaining friends and family, instead it should be because he/she has realised that there is hope for a better future and that they should not give up. Even if the future doesn't seem bright and doesn't turn out that way, I still think that suicide is not the way to go, giving up is letting yourself fail. Give yourself a chance OP.
Personally what helps me is to have faith that God will bring me through. He gives me strength.
if you dont get the grades you were hoping for then dont lose faith! my friend really wanted to do vetinary but her grades werent good enough, and another for dentistry. they applied to do bio-med and then plan on switching to their preferable courses after a year or two
OP please get in touch with the Samaritans or go to A&E. You'd be wasting your life for one maths grade. Your parents would be losing a child for one maths grade.
Why the **** you need math to become a vet?
If you kill yourself, you would never become a vet anyways, so stop thinking about that. Think of examples mate, Abraham Lincoln failed so many times but ultimately achieved his goal and was respected, get inspired.
Talk about this and make up your mind that you won't kill yourself PLEASE!
Math is all about learning from basics, take separate extra class with your teacher and master the basics first, it will take some time but you'll get the hang of it sooner than later.
best of luck, keep us updated with your math progress and I am sure you'll become a fantastic vet
Keep yourself occupied to keep those suicidal thoughts off, do some veryyyy basic math, don't be ashamed to pick up a low level book to improve your level
I am sorry to hear that you are having such a tough time at the moment and that things are so difficult for you. You mention that you are worried that you won't be able to achieve your goal of becoming a vet and that you are having problems at school especially with the maths department. Is there anyone that you can talk to? Friends, family or teachers about how you are feeling, I know this can be very hard but they might be able to get you some help. You could also go to see your GP as there maybe things that they can suggest that you can help. If you don't feel that you can speak to anyone that you know would you be willing to contact the samaritans? Their details can be found here: http://www.samaritans.org/ and you can phone, text or email them. If you would like someone at the samaritans to call you if you get in touch with me via the PM system I can pass on your details to them.
If you have done anything which could harm yourself please contact NHS direct on 08457 4647 or go to A&E.
This thread is going to remain closed now. This is not because we don't care or we don't want to help you but because sometimes people make insensitive or dangerous replies to threads like this. We are not in the best position to help you with this but please talk to someone about how low you are feeling and if you would like me to call the samaritans and give them your details please get in touch

Police: Millcreek man stabbed self after Venango County robbery
MERCER -- State police said a Millcreek Township man accused of stealing a vehicle in Venango County at knife point on Sunday morning wound up in an Allegheny County hospital after reportedly stabbing himself.
Donald P. Milliren Jr. 34, remains at Allegheny General Hospital today with stab wounds and cuts that police said were self-inflicted.
Police said Milliren reported the injuries when he called Mercer County 911 on Sunday at 9:55 a.m., a little more than five hours after the Franklin Police Department said Milliren used a knife to rob a man of his vehicle outside of Franklin Bronze & Alloy Co. in Franklin.
State police in Mercer and other emergency responders attempted to locate Milliren after he reported his injuries, but were unable to do so. Shortly after 11 a.m. Sunday, a relative of Milliren told police that Milliren had gone to the residence of other family members in Mercer County. Troopers went to the residence and Milliren was taken by ambulance to Grove City Hospital, and then Allegheny General Hospital, police said this morning.
Milliren faces charges of robbery of a motor vehicle, simple assault, theft and possessing an instrument of crime in the vehicle robbery.

Is the hype about MDM over?
According to a recent study by the 451 Group research firm:
- Fewer than 15 percent of enterprises have deployed an MDM tool beyond Microsoft Exchange's native capabilities.
- Most organizations feel that encryption and password requirements, coupled with the remote lock and wipe capabilities, provided by Exchange is sufficient
So, do you really need to look into all the MDM products and try to justify the ROI?
Is Microsoft Exchange Active Sync (EAS) sufficient for you MDM needs?
EAS features:
- Transmission Encryption: Requiring the use of SSL encryption for communications.
- Strong Authentication: Supports the use of two-factor authentication or private/public keys for SSL certificates.
- Remote Wipe: If a mobile phone is lost, stolen, or otherwise compromised, one can issue a remote wipe command from the Exchange Server computer or from any web browser by using Outlook Web Application.
- Device Password Policies: Configurable option for device passwords - (1) Strength of password, (2) Inactivity time (3) Enforce password history, (4) Enable password recovery, and (5) Wipe device after failed attempts.
- Device Encryption Policies: Can be set for group of users – (1) Requiring encryption on device and (2) Require encryption on storage cards.
EAS limitations:
- No capability of managing applications on the device
- No way of identifying which mailboxes have a mobile device paired with it or identify the number of mobile devices or type of mobile devices paired with a mailbox.
- No audit trail – which may be needed for compliance need.
- No way to get device inventory.
- No private App Store.
- No Mobile virtualization or secure app containers.
What if you are looking beyond what EAS provides?
Good Technology, Mobile Iron, and Airwatch seem to have emerged as the clear leaders in terms of market adoption.
There is a movement to erasing the artificial division between mobile and desktop management. There is a shift away from standalone "mobile device management" to "enterprise mobility management".
There does not seem to be any open source MDM solution available – I have looked but have not been able to find any.
Do let me know if you have come across any solution.
