George W. Bush - imbecile and former oil man - "we need to increase the supply of oil". HousingPANIC's new word for George W. Bush - "conservation"
America got the worst possible president at the worst possible time these past eight years.

Yeah let's all live in 400 sq ft apartments and drive a Honda Fit. Or we can drill for more oil and tell the eviro-nazis to go to hell.
Hmmm...I choose option b.

Lets do a major shift on both fronts....open up offshore drilling, and at the same time lower the speed limit to 60 mph, and raise the CAFE standard by 10 mpg in the next 5 years.
- July 30, 2008 8:19 PM
So now the picture is getting clear...Some rich American businessmen see the oil sitting out there and want to get it out and turn crazy profit...problem is those darn rules.
Plan: Let the price of oil spike and the people suffer until their cry is answered...Get that oil @ any cost...we have got to have it NOW...Be dammed all rules & regulations.
The oil markets did not just turn on its own overnight...it had help because the agenda called for it.
- July 30, 2008 8:21 PM
Better get ready. The price of oil has been going down. Bush will probably respond by invading another country.

If they started drilled today on the OCS it would be f*cking years before it made it to my gas tank. These people all ride around in limos and are completely out of touch with the real world. I say F*CK YOU and the horse you rode in on.

It will take years for the oil to reach the market.
If you are 40 it will take 25 years for you to be able to access your IRA or 401k.

The reason that it has been "the worst possible time these past eight years" is BECAUSE of the "worst possible president". The past 8 years would have been fine (without the bankrupting wars) if this bunch of cretins hadn't been elected twice by our country full of granite head retards.

not really. some fields could be pumping oil in a year or two. and even if it were 5 or 10 years, so what? do you want to be paying $10 a gallon in 10 years or $4? had clinton not blocked anwr 10 years ago it would be producing 750,000 bbl a day today.

Uh, that would make sense if this was a multiple choice exam with the answers being a) oil b) oil c)oil d) oil e) oil.
However, there are other possible answers, you dimwit. Try looking into the concept of sustainability, maybe talk to a farmer here and there and find out how it is beneficial to use resources in a sustainable manner so that resources aren't just poof...gone...one day.

"we bought our first hybrid in 2005 and our second hybrid in 2006."
Do you mind if I ask what you drove before 2-3 years ago?
The reason I ask is because I have always driven fuel-efficient cars. It amuses me when people say they sold their Hummer 2 years ago to get a hybrid and suddenly everyone else is a dolt.

Worst possible time? I doubt it. Imagine we'd had this dumbass at the helm during WWII or during the Cold War.
It's probably the best time we could have had a dumbass like Bush but that doesn't mean he hasn't caused a shitload of damage.

"not really. some fields could be pumping oil in a year or two. and even if it were 5 or 10 years,"
but the oil companies apparently controlled the number of refineries they built to insure to flucuation in the price.

Thank god for term limits.
Without them, I'd actually be worried that the American voters would be dumb enough to put this idiot back in office for another term.
If Bush was running for a third term, I wonder what would be his big issue.
Flag burning maybe?
Or how about gay adoption?
Oh, no, I've got it. Guns. Yup, that'd do the trick. Forget about Iraq, forget about the economic collapse, forget about inflation, forget about the debt, a good second amendment dust-up would do the trick.

- July 30, 2008 11:09 PM
A little cold water. If every drop of oil, estimated at 88 billion barrels, were extracted from the outer shelf it would amount to roughly an 11 year supply at current rates of consumption. A big help but far from the blissfull state of energy nirvana being hawked by bush and co.
Secondly, there is a 5 year backlog on rig leasing. If the ban were dropped today the earliest drilling could start is 2013. Add 2 years to get online you are talking 2015. Not much help for gas prices in the near or middle term. Chalk that one up as one more big lie from the lier and chief. What a surprise.
Why the huge push now? Because the time is right for the handmaidens of the oil companies to generate enough political smoke to get the ban repealed. The oil companies and their well paid political lackies know perfectly well that any benefit is far into the future.
Should we drill the continental shelf. Yes, but in a controlled rational manner with lots of safeguards and oversight. Certainly not oversight by the gutted and politically charged regulators left by the bush admin.
Will this make american in any way energy independent. Pure Bush BS. We must pursue any and all sources of energy including conservation. But, this must be done without the prejudice of having the oil shills twins in charge of the country.
- July 30, 2008 11:14 PM
He does have a valid point. The democrats want to drive oil prices down by increasing the supply of oil via tapping into the strategic reserve. But they are against going to the outer continental shelf because it will increase our supply and thats bad economics? Makes no sense, Bush is right on that point.
Additionally, people act as though 5 years from now will never come. The argument of "oh well it wont come online until 2013 so lets not do it!" is just silly. When 2013 rolls around will the argument then be "oh well if we could have them up and running tomorrow then maybe, but they wont be online until 2018 so forget it!"? How about a little planning ahead for once?
And Keith man, you are flying all over the world, but you are preaching conservation? Do you have any idea how much oil jets burn through? Every time one of those things goes anywhere its a five figure fuel bill. Kind of makes driving a hummer seem economical.
- July 30, 2008 11:42 PM
A frightening possibility is that the regime ordered a terror attack to have an excuse to cancel the election - to install Bush for life. The Bush clan and bin Laden clan are so close that if they were any closer we'd have a George W bin Laden chasing an Osama Bush. With bin Laden once a CIA operative and Papa Bush once a CIA spymaster, ordering 9/11 like a pizza to have an excuse for wars is plausible and high probability.
If this comes to pass the Bush supporters will have some explaining to do...until they snitch to the Reichsecuritypolice!
- July 31, 2008 12:00 AM
While I am not a big fan of Bush, this has to be done and the sooner the better. I think it goes without saying that we need to go back to conserving oil, but obtaining more is not mutually exclusive of that goal.
Right now China is drilling only a few hundred miles off the coast of Florida, we let them do it, while we ourselves don't.
We have to have those resources, assuming that they are there, even if we never use them. It is an extremely valuable bargaining chip and a means to protect ourselves when, not if, the next oil drama starts.
If the SHTF in a biblical way and catches us without those resources, we would most likely get steamrolled as other countries moved in to take the resources for themselves.
It's just better to head all of that off.

This nation and its Americano citizen is as toasted as a snapper turtle skewered from mouth to ass on a green Chinese bamboo stick all sizzling, sputtering, roasting nicely, juices dripping, fat popping over a bed of white hot charcoal grill.

Heeeee... Haaaaa... Arrrrr...
Gasoline is now at its lowest level in the history of the Americano. It is only $145.00 a barrel of oil and it will head to $200 Shitty-Americano dollar currency in a blink. Cheap, ain't it ?
So, tell me, does the average Americano, Joe6Pack and JaneZinfandel take it enough in the rear orifice yet by the forceful penetration of "Little Boy" + "Fat Man", or do you want more "Enter The Dragon" ?
Americano = Being Entered By The Dragon up the Kazook

Up until recently, during times of extended conflict we've always had government intervention in the marketplace: price controls, quasi- or outright nationalization of companies, rationing, etc.
But not this time. This time we let a relative few capitalize on the effect of our military intervention in an oil-rich region. It's profiteering, which was once a hanging offense but is now considered business as usual.
So, while the 21st century robber barons have been getting fatter, 90% of the country has suffered. Not exactly the national sacrifice one expects during a time of war.
Maybe we should convert GITMO into a retirement home for war profiteers, and use their ill-gotten gains to pay for a free college education for the offspring of slain soldiers.

Its funny that they invade another country illegally and now say the democrats are holding them back from drilling.lol
There is no cheap oil in the gulf, the prices have to be high to even try to get at it.
Do americans really think that if the oil in the gulf can be extracted, that US oil companies could be held back from it by environmentalists?
Until now there was no profit in it. It takes $200oil to even consider it as an investment.

I hope the entire Bush Administration commits mass suicide. Look at them- totally pathetic. A shame and disgrace to the country. Bush opens by thanking them for working hard to serve the American people. Yeah they serviced the Americans like Chris Rock says in his routine... bend over and get serviced by big gov't.
As the last poster said, additional drilling is OK but it's effectively going to do nothing to help our our gas prices. Even extracting all this oil in 10 years will not even offset the production declines in the big oil fields of Saudi Arabia and others. The best thing is to focus on conservation and switching to renewables but you would never hear an oil man say this.
Is Bush still alive already? We need a mass suicide pact of the administration, maybe a Christian leader can help us out. Anyone, anyone?

"A little cold water. If every drop of oil, estimated at 88 billion barrels, were extracted from the outer shelf it would amount to roughly an 11 year supply at current rates of consumption. A big help but far from the blissfull state of energy nirvana being hawked by bush and co."
Prices are set at the margin, so yes, it would have an effect. Not a drop of oil's been produced yet, and oil's been crashing in anticipation of the additional oil.
It also seems that anywhere where a lot of oil is found, more oil is actually found than expected.
Who could of thought that Brazil, of all places, would find a bunch of oil when they looked for it, and now will have the 3rd largest oil field in the world, and now becoming a major oil exporter.
"at the same time lower the speed limit to 60 mph, and raise the CAFE standard by 10 mpg in the next 5 years."
One word, ASININE. What right do you have to artificially restrict people's movement and fill the coffers of the police state?
Raising the CAFE std. would do nothing. Javan's Paradox shows that raising MPG results in people driving more.
- July 31, 2008 7:40 AM
I would be for opening more land to offshore drilling if we raised our national royalty rates to 50%, were given exclusive rights to all of the oil, and could force the oil companies to pay for all damages related to spills (no dragging it through the courts for decades like the Valdez incident).
Venezuela gets 80% royalties, and the oil companies still drill. What do we get for handing over our pristine wilderness and coastal shores? The lowest royalties of any oil-producing country and our oil sold off to China while a few connected CEOs get filthy rich.
- July 31, 2008 9:24 AM
"Sorry no one on this blog is putting down your 1978 toyota celica with the T-tops!"
Cars with 30+MPG capabilities were made all through the 90s, at least. Not hybrids either. His point was that the technology for high MPG has existed for decades. If they had 30+MPG technology back in the 90s, they can do a heck of a lot better now.
I think they just go for more horsepower right now. I can understand the need for powerful trucks, but sports and other such small autos? Who actually needs that? Where are you going to drive 150 MPH in the states?
- July 31, 2008 9:59 AM

Where is the guarantee that drilling for "our oil" will result in lower prices?
Is it cheaper to buy "our oil"? Oil companies are currently drilling and pumping "our oil" and the price we pay are still outrageous.
Is all of "our oil" being delivered to "us"? Why do we export 1.6 million barrels of refined oil product daily?
Does any one remember the great Alaska oil pipeline? Do you know that the oil from Alaska was sold to Japan? Do you know that a refinery in Anacortes, WA processes Alaskan oil and has some of the highest gas prices in the state of Washington?
The oil market is a global market. This is no guarantee that we will get "our oil". If we do not have a guarantee that "our oil " will be delivered to us, then how do we break our dependence on forgiven oil? How do we obtain cheaper energy prices if "our oil" will be sold on the world market?
The oil companies have millions of acres under lease and yet THEY DO NOT DRILL. WHY?
If you think that the oil companies want to produce more oil to lower the price, think again.
Until there is a guarantee that the oil companies will either sell "our oil" to us exclusively and cheaper why should we give away "our oil" to them?
Are they going to pay us a fair price for what the take out of "our oil" reserves? Think again under Bush, they have been given billions is tax subsidies and what have we received in return? Higher prices at the pump, while the oil companies rake in billions in profits every quarter. Money earned from making us pay huge prices for the energy.
Should we drill offshore for "our oil"? Not until we have laws that force the oil companies to either pay the taxpayer a fair price for "our oil" or sell "our oil" to us exclusively at a lower price.
- July 31, 2008 3:08 PM
It is a common mindset among boomers and especially boomer aged children of the affluent families that the solution to any problem is to always "grow" out of any problem rather than take conservation measures or (here is a concept) a balanced approach using conservation, moderation and growth.
- July 31, 2008 3:35 PM

- July 31, 2008 3:42 PM
We have been played.
We are are still being played.
As long as they control the Bush/Cheney White House, Big Oil will continue to promote the illusion of a supply and demand reason for the price spike.
In actuality, they are restricting the domestic supply via reserve/inventory/delivery manipulation and pumping the windfall profits into the futures market to drive up prices.
- July 31, 2008 3:43 PM
"If they started drilled today on the OCS it would be f*cking years before it made it to my gas tank."
Tell that to the wildcatter who began drilling under Stephen Forbes park in IL (vertical and then horizontal drilling) just a few years ago and who is now netting $58,000 per day on the investment made just a few years ago. That was just one dude with a little knowledge and some big cajones. Conservation, moderation, a 55 mph speed limit that is permanent, serious and corruption free investment in real alternative energy sources and increased drilling would put this country back on some sort of path to normalcy faster than you think. Oh and for all the dolts who don't think this will be "a game of inches" to quote my old football coach and that alternative engery is a waste of time - tell that to the dutch who doubled the size of their country for farmland using windmills and archemedes screws to pump seawater out of the property they use to do their farming with now. T. Boone has a point about wind energy but you have to keep the players honest.
- July 31, 2008 3:44 PM
Why not drill? Yes, eventually oil will run out. OK.
Some history. OIl in 1980 is $40 per barrel. Predictions that it is runnign out and will go up in price forever. Sound familiar? I read in National Geographic that "some experts say there will be no oil by the year 2000.".
6 years later oil is $10 per barrel!
What happened? North Sea. Gulf of Mexico. They found more.
So allow them to find more now?
Conserve? Sure. New technologies? Absolutely.
But oil won't be ready for 10 YEARS!! They said that 10 years ago when they decided not to drill in Barren ANWR (drilling area about the size of an airport). Will plug in hybrids be here in a year? Will "hydrogen cars"? Probably not. So then why demand a solution from oil that it will be here immediately.
Conservation is ultimately a personal decision. Only way gov't affects it is by raising gas taxes. We don't live in a command economy with gas ration cards. That's the only way you could enforce conservation. Don't think that would work.
- July 31, 2008 3:52 PM
"What do we get for handing over our pristine wilderness and coastal shores?"
Where does this idea come from that oil extraction means environmental destruction? Drilling on the North Slope of alaska had a positive effect on wildlife. During Katrina, a cat 5 hurricane, not a single oil rig spilled oil in the gulf.
"Is all of "our oil" being delivered to "us"? Why do we export 1.6 million barrels of refined oil product daily?"
Because oil is a world market. It's cheaper to export the oil and import the oil from somewhere else. Why take alaskan oil and ship it to NYC when japan is so much closer? It's cheaper to sell to japan and buy from Venezuela for NYC.

pfftt Hybrids... so what..
Sorry to rant.... this will be long but I CAN'T STAND THE SMUGNESS OF HYBRID OWNERS!! It makes me nuts...
I call Smug Alert!!
You know there were cars that got 40-50 MPG in the U.S. long before hybrids appeared.
80-90s Suzuki Swift / Geo Metro
75 - Current Model Year Volkswagen Diesels.
Many 80- Current Hondas, Toyotas, Kias to name a few.
I haven't owned a car with an engine larger than 4 cylinders, that got less than 30 MPG since I started driving 24 years ago...
Since 91 all the cars I have owned have averaged 50 MPG or better and that is highway at 70 MPH all day long not just in stop and go traffic, try that with a hybrid.
I know at least 3 people that have jumped on the hybrid band wagon in the last 2 years and talk about how awesome the mileage is and that they have "Gone Green", yet they commute at least 60 miles of interstate a day. They seem to forget that on the highway hybrids get them nothing more than the full gas version of the same car.
Not only do hybrid owners feel hybrids are the answer to everything. Somehow they have suddenly discovered a magic bullet and are mentally ahead of everyone else. Like they are in on some secret discovery that everyone else is just to stupid to figure out.
They feel like they are somehow better humans, Toyota should have named it the "Pious".
I'll see your hybrid and raise you, 70MPG all day long not just in stop and go city driving.
Unfortunately, as has always been the practice, The U.S. governments policy of propping up and protecting Detroit's big 3 from any real competition makes having cars like that available in the U.S. impossible.
The U.S. Doesn't need hybrids, it needs (or needed as it is too late now for Detroit's big 3 are dead men walking.) to not drop MPG standards and adopt real ones like the rest of the world.
Recently when the Government tried to actually do do something right and raise MPG to 27.5 MPG by 2020 the Big 3 stomped their feet and cried "YOU'LL BANKRUPT US!!!"
Meanwhile most of the rest of the world is already surpassed 27.5 MPG oh and it looks like the Big 3 are bankrupt anyway.
My desire for high MPG cars stems from the permanent mental scars caused by many hours waiting in gas lines with my dad as a kid during the 70's oil crisis...
My personal answer is owning two cars that get 50 MPG that sit parked and hardly driven because I live in a walking town that has mass transportation to a major city. The best way to save money on fuel is to not use it.
I am happy for you and and your hybrids and thanks for joining the High MPG party 2 years ago. Come on in, maybe after a few drinks, all of you hybrid owners will relax and stop acting so superior to the rest of us.
- July 31, 2008 4:08 PM
The poster who said that "we won't get OUR oil" as it will be sold, misses the point completely.
Why is oil sold to Japan? I don't know, maybe it's more effecient.
Oil is a global market as you say. Everyone pays the same price.
Allowing more supplies to come on line, tends to lower the price. But you are right that it isn't really "our" oil, even though it's on US territory and the US gov't probably gets a lot of fees from it. It won't necessarily be USED HERE. But it doesn't matter. It adds to the total supply and thus all other things being equal lowers prices.
Oil companies aren't drilling on fed'l leases they have now? Because they looked for oil there and couldn't find any. Why would oil companies drilling dry holes make you happy? Should they be required to do that in the name of "fairness" to the leases w/o oil (treat them the same as leases w/ oil)?
Brazil has celebrated 10B barrel oil find!! WE have 20 times that much and it's simply off limits for religious grounds. It's ludicrous. And now you need a "guarantee" that it will lower prices. I give up.

not really. some fields could be pumping oil in a year or two. and even if it were 5 or 10 years, so what? do you want to be paying $10 a gallon in 10 years or $4? had clinton not blocked anwr 10 years ago it would be producing 750,000 bbl a day today.
July 30, 2008 9:42 PM
of all the comments posted here, I haven't seen one that responds to the main problem, and that is Americans consume like 21 MILLION bpd! So yes, it would be nice to have an extra 750k bpd, but that is NOTHING! Further, its been estimated by our gov that there are like 10 - 12 billion gallons of oil in ANWR. If we were to somehow magically pump all the oil we need, 21 mill bpd,we would have less than a 2years supply! And that is assuming that we wouldn't go on increasing daily consumption because of us being able to lower the price in the first place. I really don't think this is such a great idea, but then again, it just might shut the idiot right wingnuts up about it! So hey, go for it! Drill, drill, drill and when all is said and done, and gas is still sky high, don't forget to blame Obama/Hillary/[enter some dem name here].
- July 31, 2008 5:01 PM
Uh, you dolts. Maybe we should be spending the money used on exploration for oil instead on developing a power grid and transportation system that uses less oil and more renewable energy. Denmark and Israel are doing it. However, with idiots like you in this country who think China is drilling off the coast of Florida, we're just going to be left behind. While other nations rid themselves of their oil addiction, we're just going to fritter away our finances and become the next bloated former superpower. Do you all like Russia that much that you want to become it?

Bush always has a way of speaking as though he is addressing an audience of retards. The press core must just stare at him in stunned silence and Bush knows he is not connecting. At least he has a lot of dopes behind him nodding like idiots.

Or how about gay adoption?
Well, gay marriage seems to be a priority to bankrupt California, Keith. So it's ok to be an issue only when it serves your ultraliberal gay freaks.
Meanwhile, 17-year old illegals are shooting entire families with AK-47s because of traffic disputes in San Fran, and because the ultraliberals decided to make the state a safe heaven for gang members.
Hey but gay marriage is more important and the Birkenstock-code monkey idiots posting here are all for it. Now I let you all go back to s*ck Hussein's d!ck. He'll will wave his magic wand and make it taste like granola bar for you retards.

Rise and Fall of the Third Reich
- August 01, 2008 1:00 AM
"The oil companies have millions of acres under lease and yet THEY DO NOT DRILL. WHY?"
Dumbass, they do drill for oil that's profitable to bring out of the ground. Remember, oil companies, just like any company loves PROFITS. If there's land that's not getting drilled it's because there's no oil there, or the oil is too expensive to get.
"If you think that the oil companies want to produce more oil to lower the price, think again."
Oil companies make money by taking oil out of the ground and selling it on the market. If they aren't allowed to get it out of the ground, then they get no money.
At current prices, every Tom, Dick, and Harry want to drill and put as much oil on the market and get FAT profits due to the current high price of oil. Don't you understand that? Are you really that ignorant?
"Think again under Bush, they have been given billions is tax subsidies and what have we received in return?"
Spending bills originate in the House, not the White House. congress deserves just as much blame as Traitor Bush.
You also forgot about the big, sloppy, wet kiss the ethanol program is to big agribusiness.

I just cannot believe one thing:
after 8 years of superconservative government that caused:
-illegal invasion of iraq (with more than 4000 soldier died, not to mention countless Iraqi civilians)
whose cost is approaching half trilion dollars (BTW, how much oil can you buy with ahlf trilion?)
-Housing bubble (need to say more?)
-the demise of the dollar
-the freedom for the government to spy on citizen, and the ability to be imprisoned without habeas corpus
After all this, some people still think the problem are the conservatives!!!
Ok, anyone has the right to be idiot, but someone is really abusing it!!
- August 01, 2008 1:43 AM
Yeah let's all live in 400 sq ft apartments and drive a Honda Fit. Or we can drill for more oil and tell the eviro-nazis to go to hell.
Or maybe, we can drill for more oil and not very much comes out because we've all fucking used most of it up.
And we live in 400 sq foot apartments having wasted good money on massive wasted capital rusting in the oil fields.
Guess what? You can drill and NO OIL COMES OUT. More realistically--the value of the oil you get is less than the money you spent to get to it and pipe it out.
There is a delusion that petroleum is like planting soybeans. No, it doesn't grow by itself.
Mother Nature doesn't give a crap how much USD you show up with.

The parallels between Obama and Hitler scare the sh*t out of me. Go back and read your history books, boys and girls, and you will see that pre-chancellor Hitler and Obama's words are the same.
Right. And "Audacity of Hope" is a straight ripoff of Mein Kampf.
What sort of insane sick BS right wing radio are you listening to?
Mein Kampf (1925):
Hitler announces his hatred of what he believed to be the world's twin evils: Communism and Judaism. The new territory that Germany needed to obtain would properly nurture the "historic destiny" of the German people; this goal explains why Hitler invaded Europe, both East and West, before he launched his attack against Russia. Laying Germany's chief ills on the parliament of the Weimar Republic, he announces that he wants to completely destroy that type of government.
Mein Kampf has additionally been examined as a book on foreign policy. For example, Hitler predicts the stages of Germany's political emergence on the world scene: in the first stage, Germany would, through a program of massive re-armament, overthrow the shackles of the Treaty of Versailles and form alliances with the British Empire and Fascist Italy. The second stage would feature wars against France and her allies in Eastern Europe by the combined forces of Germany, Britain and Italy. The third and final stage would be a war to destroy what Hitler saw as the "Judeo-Bolshevik" regime in the Soviet Union that would give Germany the necessary Lebensraum
- August 01, 2008 6:07 AM
Let's see lets be real intelligent and blame President Bush for all our problems... that should solve everything.
I have now voted for six presidents and President Bush is the second best in my experience. The problem with housing rests with people not presidents or even Congress (though they have more to account for).
The character of our people is the problem. Those would reneg'd on their fiduciary responsibilites and those who lied and committed fraud and those who borrowed what they could not pay back and finally those who were greedy.
The solution to the housing debacle is to require 20% down, remove tax write-offs for non-owner occupied residential real estate and lower property taxes on owner-occupied residential while raising them on non-owner occupied and requiring monthly tax payments on non-owner occupied residential properties. There is no reason the taxpayer should subsidize the home buyer and home owner especially those that are investors and speculators.
The energy crisis will be resolved as alternatives are allowed to grow especially solar. Every new home and building or any substantial size built in a good solar area should be required to have a 1,000 watt solar panel in 2009 and a 2,000 watt in 2010 and a 2,500 watt in 2011 and a 3,000 watt in 2012.
Electricity generation is much more efficient than the gasoline engine and so we should rapidly convert to electric hybrid cars requiring each car to have a solar array that generates more electricity.
We should also require geothermal heat pumps for heating and cooling in every area of the country where they are cost effective.
Finally we should subsidize these with the gasoline and fossil fuel taxes.
The removal of tax incentives in real estate would force the banks to unload the REO inventory as it would the investor. This would make homes more affordable and lower the cost of property taxes freeing up income for use on items that are produced.

Nothing eh? Then why did Nancy Pelosi demand that we stop filling up the Strategic Oil Reserve? That amounts to only 70,000 a day.
Hey stupid, answer the damn question! What is 750000 bpd gonna do? Its so marginal that it wouldn't even matter, even if you did assume those 750k bpd could come on line tomorrow, or at some point in the short term! Better yet, let me put it this way: 'What is 21 million divided by 750,000?' Originally, I asked the board, and now you in general. But I see there are too many zeroes in the question I posed to you, its probably way over your head, so don't worry, dummy, your ignorance says it all. And no I don't give a good damn what nancy pelosi says, I can do my own math thank you! Come back when you find out what rush limbaugh has told you what to think, stupid...
- August 01, 2008 2:11 PM
What is 750k bpd goign to do? A lot more than not having 750k bpd.
All other things being equal, more supply is lower prices. Besides you never know how much oil it is until you start pumping. ANWR could have 100bb barrels, the same as Kuwait....bringing a couple million more barrels a day might keep prices from spiking further. It might give high prices the time to cause conservation, new technology etc.
A note about solar panels. A sq meter of earth gets about 1000 w at noon on a sunny day. A 10% efficiency solar panel (which is HIGH) would give you about...1/6 of a hp per square meter. That's why it's nonsensical to have "solar cars"....not enough energy is coming down to power a car. It's also why solar is still far more expsensive than coal or wind.
There should be a multi-pronged approach:
1. forced conservation through higher gas taxes,
2. more technology (paid for by PRIVATE companies not gov't. So many people say "we" shouldn't spend "our" money drilling. "WE" don't. That's private oil company money, they just want permission to drill). Plug in hybrids will come along shortly (did the US gov't fund the Prius?...no they how is it here?).
3. Nuclear power (France gets 80% of electricity from nuclear and has the lowest rates in Europe)..the US used to be the leader before enviro-wackos wet their pants and forced them out of business.
4. MORE DRILLING. There's no reason not to other than religious phony morality reasons.

No, again as a percent, which no one wants to offer here, it would be at 3.5%, using todays consumption rate of 21 million bpd. In reality, we would be using so much more by the time this came online. Right now we are without the 750k bpd, so having that extra 750k bpd wouldn't do that much more!.
Besides you never know how much oil it is until you start pumping
Uh, no, the eia has roughly said that there are 10 billion barrels recoverable. There was however, noted a 5% chance that there may be up yo 16 billion barrels, which would be nice but pinning your hopes on dumb luck doesn't sound like a sound strategy to me.
ANWR could have 100bb barrels, the same as Kuwait
Why would you expect to find 10 times as much oil as what is expected? I guess we could just as easily find 100 bb barrels in your backyard? Or mine? Anyway, again, lets just start drilling anywhere and everywhere cuz brianbb said it could be there...
As far as solar cars, I don't know where you got on that subject from. But anyway MIT just announced a breakthrough in solar power, yuo may wanna check it out (I actually haven't fully checked it out yet).
As far as your multipronged approach:
1) Don't know, any tax should be thoroughly investigated.
2) Well, technology is born from r&d. And if not public, then private, but hey, we are giving tax give aways to big corporations anyway, why not trade some of these tax giveaways for more r&d credits? Why not public R&D?
3) I agree those enviro whackos wet their pants and halted production of some power plants. Can you believe in CA a bunch of community 'activists' protested when PG&E wanted to build a nuclear power plant on an FAULT LINE!?!? Yea they sure wet their pants on that one. Boy I still can't get over them enviro whackos...
4)You will see in my earlier post that is what i said, if it shuts the right wing nuts up, go for it! Drill drill drill!

In this talk we discuss how large classes of classical spin models, such as the Ising and Potts models on arbitrary lattices, can be mapped to the graph state formalism. In particular, we show how the partition function of a spin model can be written as the overlap between a graph state and a complete product state. Here the graph state encodes the interaction pattern of the spin model---i.e., the lattice on which the model is defined---whereas the product state depends only on the couplings of the model, i.e., the interaction strengths. As main examples, we find that the 1D Ising model corresponds to the 1D cluster state, the 2D Ising model without external field is mapped to Kitaev's toric code state, and the 2D Ising model with external field corresponds to the 2D cluster state---but the mappings are completely general in that arbitrary graphs, and also q-state models can be treated.
These mappings allow one to make connections between concepts in
(classical) statistical mechanics and quantum information theory and to obtain a cross-fertilization between both fields. As a main application, we will prove that the classical Ising model on a 2D square lattice (with external field) is a "complete model", in the sense that the partition function of any other spin model---i.e., for q-state spins on arbitrary lattices---can be obtained as a special instance of the (q=2) 2D Ising partition function with suitably tuned (complex) couplings.
This result is obtained by invoking the above mappings from spin models to graph states, and the property that the 2D cluster states are universal resource states for one-way quantum computation.

Tiger Hotel Agrees to Refund Overcharged Customers
COLUMBIA - The Tiger Hotel has agreed to refund the customers that it initially overcharged this past weekend. The hotel tried to double the rate for customers who made reservations for the Missouri's inaugural SEC game against Georgia. The Missouri Attorney General's Office confirmed Wednesday it was investigating the hotel after receiving two formal complaints from customers saying the hotel is unfairly raising rates. KOMU 8 News first broke the story last Friday of possible unfair business practices at the hotel.
The person featured in the KOMU 8 report, Kennett, Missouri resident Tina Brown, filed a complaint after the hotel tried to double her rates in July for a hotel room she booked in January.
A representative for State Senator Kurt Schaefer, R-Columbia, said the senator sent a letter to Attorney General Chris Koster asking him to "aggressively" investigate the Tiger Hotel.
The attorney general's office said late Wednesday the hotel will be offering refunds to people who where overcharged.
The hotel issued its own release just before 6:00 p.m. Wednesday, saying:
"The Tiger Hotel has resolved the recent situation with hotel guests who contacted us about their room rate discrepancies; these parties have been reimbursed for the difference of the room rates.
Additionally, representatives from The Tiger Hotel have spoken to the Attorney General's office, which is satisfied with our resolution of the matter regarding the recent inquiries regarding room rate discrepancies.
The Tiger Hotel recognizes the importance of providing visitors a four-star hotel experience during their time in Columbia. With the many activities and events happening in our community, we want to ensure a first-rate luxury hotel experience for each of our guests, and we want to assure all future guests of this commitment."

Extended Edition of Harry Potter and Sorcerer's Stone to Be Released, More Possible Soon
Aug 12, 2009
Great news tonight! At long last, the extended editions of the Harry Potter films are being planned for release. Rope of Silicon is reporting that after the latest Motion Picture of America ratings bulletin, there was word that an extended edition of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone had been rated PG. The report continues that emails were sent to reps for Warner Home Video about possible extended editions of all the Harry Potter films, receiving the following reply: "Although we've not announced [it yet], all Harry Potter films are being planned to get special upcoming releases!"
Please note: We have no idea on the actual content (ie if this is the same version they show on ABC family) or whether they are contained in those special "Ultimate Collectors" DVDs we've heard about recently or when exactly this, and hopefully the others, will be available to fans; more when we get it!
Thanks much to Rope of Silicon and Jeremy at HPANA for emailing!

Disaster-Proofing IT After KatrinaBy Alison Diana Print
Gulfport Municipal Court streamlined its infrastructure after Hurricane Katrina destroyed numerous court documents, investing in a digital imaging solution and storing data in multiple sites to prevent such a disastrous loss from ever happening again.
When Hurricane Katrina roared its murderous path into Mississippi and Louisiana in August 2005, the howling winds and punishing rains destroyed lives, homes and businesses—and temporarily blinded Lady Justice in Gulfport, Miss.
The storm, which caused more than 1,800 deaths and more than $81 billion in damages nationwide, tore the roof off the Gulfport Municipal Court, water-logging files and destroying the walls that housed them. Years of supporting documentation in criminal and civil complaints became sodden and illegible.
"We lost a number of cases, I mean they were gone," says Odell Thompson, the court administrator, who was hired in March 2007.
Determined the Mississippi court would never again face the destruction of so much invaluable information, Thompson developed a disaster recovery solution. While working from a trailer and waiting for the construction of a new courthouse, he began rebuilding and improving the court's infrastructure.
"I bought 600 Rubbermaid containers," he recalls. "The plan was to take every last one of our court records off the shelf—and we had close to 90,000 court records—put them in these containers and have them taken inland, either to a storage facility or another trailer. During the 2008 hurricane season, we moved all the court records that were on the bottom two shelves up, at least off the ground. We took tarps and dropped them over the shelving, then prayed a tornado wouldn't come along and suck everything out of there."
Thompson realized the combination of containers and prayer was unsustainable and did nothing to reduce the court's paperwork. Mother Nature was not the only force working against him: Gulfport's legal offices were using a hodge-podge of three incompatible databases.
A former law-enforcement officer, Thompson was accustomed to working with electronic files. Determined to bring the court into the digital age, he researched various options, looking for a proven solution that would integrate all three databases and eliminate space-hungry and easily lost paper files.
While at a court administrators' conference, Thompson saw demonstrations by Syscon, the developer of an electronic court records and docket management system that digitizes paper files and organizes the docket, along with solutions from competitors such as Tyler Technologies' INCODE.
"We looked at [Tyler], but the way their software was set up, there were too many other windows you had to open up," Thompson says. "It was like having separate applications as opposed to an integrated solution, and that did not meet my goals. I observed [Syscon's] software demonstration with one of the Circuit Court judges, and that really sold me."
There was a problem, however: funding. Having attended a course on grant-writing, Thompson put his new-found skills to work and won a $460,000 grant from the Department of Justice.

Champagne means celebration yet there's plenty of cheaper alternatives that will add sparkle to your Christmas or New Year party without leaving a hole in your wallet.
Having crowned the multi-award winning Sainsbury's 2005 Vintage Premier Cru as our Christmas champagne pick, this week it's the turn of 11 bottles of bubbly from the vast array of proseccos, cavas and sparkling wines gracing our supermarket shelves.
I'll start with the sparkling wines – one each from South Africa, England and France – tested by myself and five of my wine-loving family.
They were all good yet it was the cheapest that scooped the highest score – 7.7 out of 10 – making it my top-value festive fizz. Philippe Michel's Cremant du Jura Chardonnay 2011 hails from France's border with Switzerland and is a steal at £6.99 from Aldi. It's delicate yet packed with citrus and apple flavours and aromas.
Our most expensive bubbly is M&S English Sparkling Reserve Brut, made by one of Britain's biggest and most decorated producers, Kent-based Chapel Down.
Reduced to £17 until the New Year, it's made from white Reichensteiner, Sylvaner grapes plus a little red pinot noir producing a dry, full-flavoured fizz with floral, citrus, apple, honey and aniseed flavours. It scored 7.5.
Trailing the field, yet my personal favourite, is the International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC) silver medallist Pongrácz, from South Africa's Stellenbosch region. Scoring 7 and selling at £13.99 in Morrisons, it's in the style of a full-flavoured, rich Champagne – which is unsurprising given it's made from two classic Champagne varieties, pinot noir and chardonnay. The nose reveals citrus, apple, toast and cream aromas leading to complex flavours packed with lemon and brioche.
So to prosecco – and four bargain bottles from the fashionable, fruity region in north-east Italy. Tested with three friends, there were two favourites both averaging 7.5.
Co-op's Prosecco Special Cuvee Brut recently won a Which magazine Best Value Award – and that was at full price. They've now lopped more than £3 off – making it a top-value £6.49 fizz until the New Year. It's very good...fresh and crisp and packed with green apple, sweet pear, lemon, fennel and almond flavours.
Aldi's Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Extra Dry, priced £7.29, scooped an International Wine Challenge (IWC) silver and is equally impressive with a smooth taste of lemon and aromas of apple, pears and citrus.
Asda's Extra Special Prosecco Brut scored 7.1 and is reduced to £6.50. An IWSC bronze medallist, it's light with apple flavour and aroma.
Lagging behind, the Torri del la Marca Prosecco Treviso Extra Dry, scored 6 yet it's all a matter of taste and was my joint favourite. Reduced to £8.99 with Majestic's two-bottle discount, it is the most complex of the four with apple, lemon and pear aromas and citrus and biscuit flavours and plenty of fizz.
Finally, we tried four cavas, from Spain's Catalan region, with one clear winner – Freixenet 2012 Vintage Especial Brut – scoring 7.4.
Reduced to a half-price £6.99 in Tesco and made from the three classic cava grapes – macabeo, xarel-lo and parrellada – it shows excellent depth and finesse with flavours of peach, flowers and citrus fruits. The remaining three all scored 6.75 so I'll start with the cheapest. Asda Wine Selection Cava Brut comes in at just £5 and is packed with apple flavours.
Co-op has halved the price of Marques de Monistrol Gran Tradicion Cava Brut to £6.49 until December 31. It's bone dry with hints of brioche.
M&S's Rosada Brut Cava Prestige, reduced to £6 a bottle, is an IWSC silver medal winner. Subtle flavours include red cherry and strawberry.
As good as some of the proseccos and cavas were they fell way short of our Champagne winner. But at around a quarter of the price, there's plenty of fizz for the buck.

Søren Rose Studio
Products by Søren Rose Studio
Søren Rose is a talented Danish entrepreneur and designer with a past as a creative director within the web and photography industry. His dream of having his own studio came true in 2008, and today he lives in New York where he operates the highly popular Søren Rose Studio. Rose explains "And here I am, 6 years later, with branches in Copenhagen and New York." To understand how Scandinavian poise can marry with downtown grit a visit to Soren's New York City Hudson Loft will do. Both offices embrace a noticeable paradox to create original interiors, products and furnishings that are minimally raw and masterfully crafted, yet elegantly refined.
The Søren Rose team encompasses an incredible set of skills within architecture, product design and manufacturing. The studio strives to provide clients with any level of service they wish, whether it's designing a beautiful light fixture or a clients' future residence. "We run a flat organisation; and, thus, if the junior designer has the best idea that's what we go with. The studio's make up is on style, sensibility and sustainability in their overall approach for value in long-term design collaborations with like-minded people to propel the studio's mission forward.
Perpetually curious and self-motivated, Søren Rose goes by just one rule for every design and every company he starts – "if you don't have passion for it, don't do it." As a self-identified minimalist who still accepts himself as a materialist, he is continuously propelled to upgrade, by the captivation when innovation and style collide. The comprehensive philosophy is simple, don't be afraid to question, reinvent and challenge a shift in an industry.
Tribeca Series
The series is filled with pieces that can be used in a variety of configurations to create a dramatic statement. The industrial and functional character of Tribeca is designed to be suitable for both living rooms, kitchens, offices and bars.
The name Tribeca refers to a very popular part of New York in lower West Manhattan, the triangle below Canal Street. The Tribeca series of lamps started with a classic American road trip.
Danish designer Søren Rose travelled across the US collecting lamps from the early to the mid 20th century. He took his cache back to the studio in New York, dismantled and reassembled them, mixing and matching lamps. All the parts were rated and arranged, until these new and much bolder designs emerged. Out of this experimentation the Tribeca series was born, inspired by the glamour of New York in the late 1930s.
The features, in combination with the elegant details, make the Tribeca array of lamps, pendants and chandeliers a series of retro-chic pieces of art. The Tribeca designs' elongated arms expand into space in a manner both sculptural and pragmatic, demonstrating how simple this series ideal lighting solution can be.
The original pieces were built upon warm brass interiors creating light that is at once unobtrusive and beautiful. Updates on the classic look kept the profile minimalist while adding a touch of femininity to the silhouette. These changes have provided a look that can be used in any number of settings, from a home kitchen to a public cafe.

Mary: "So, are you going anywhere this Summer?"
Mrs. Sympathy: "No. I'm stuck here, waiting for my mother to die. Today would be good."
And then she picked up her purse and left.
A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.
Wouldn't you like to be a fly on the wall to hear the story behind that remark? Damn.
Whoa! At least she won't be beside herselves at the funeral.
And as she walked down the hall, she thought, "Dang! Did I just say that out loud?"
Sounds like someone needs some respite care. lol. It happens... Caregiver burnout.
you know, we can all be judgemental. but we dont know what the situation was behind that comment. having experienced being a long term carer, some days you are just at the end of your tether and u verbalise a short term feeling. and in most cases you dont expect it to be overheard, let alone publicized on a blog for all the world to see.
Really!! She was scheduling an appt! Not saying when she hoped mom would pass.
I stay at home because my dog is dying from CHF... but I don't resent it. I'm choosing to spend as many moments as possible with her while she's still comfortable.
On the other hand I've not spoken to my mother in years. I doubt I'd do the same for her.
I'm left wondering what the rest of this womans story is.
Personally I'm with Stitch. Last time I *had* to see my mother, my former mother-in-law accidentally caused the dog some paw damage (let her run too much on pavement). I was offered an emergency appointment that evening, or first thing in the morning the next day. Guess who had to wait 2 hrs. while I got the dog's antibiotics and prednisone?
Oh... I hope her mom passes quickly and with some good pain killers. I do not want a long drawn out death.
you can sure tell by the commemts here who has ben in that woman's shoes and who (luckily) hasn't!
I remember Louis Black saying he overheard strange conversations like, "If it wasn't for my horse, I wouldn't be in college."
I knew that meant she had to sell her horse to pay for tuition. 'Cuz we've had horses. I hope this has a story - behind the comment that would explain such a horrible comment.
OK, maybe it is just the hospice nurse in me, but I get it, too. I've been the daughter (how can a 100 lb woman in a coma live 26 days without hydration?) as well as the nurse (P-26; R-4; BP 45/palp; temp 104.5.....how is she still alive, and how late am I gonna be to the kid's game?)
Hard not to judge...unless you have BEEN there!

ST. LOUIS, Mo. (March 31, 2015) — Diets containing oxidized fats severely and negatively impact swine growth, carcass quality and oxidative stress. Recently, researchers at Virginia Tech, in conjunction with Novus, conducted a study to evaluate how adding a dietary antioxidant affects growth and meat quality. In general, they found the inclusion of AGRADO® Plus feed ingredient in swine diets, with its proprietary blend of antioxidants, counter-balanced several of the negative effects of feeding fatty acids by alleviating oxidative stress.
"Oxidative stress occurs when there is an imbalance between the amount of free radicals produced and the animal's ability to keep them under control," said Dr. Junmei Zhao, Executive Manager of Monogastric Nutrition Solutions at Novus. "The free radicals cause a chain reaction that causes tissue and cell damage."
Dr. Allan Harper, Professor Emeritus of Animal Science at Virginia Tech, and his research team supplemented different types of antioxidants to pigs fed diets high in oxidants. The team designed a dietary model that imposed a relatively high level of oxidative stress on the pigs, and then attempted to remediate the performance, carcass quality and physiological aspects of the oxidative stress with either vitamin E or a commercial antioxidant. This oxidation model was used to mimic Yellow Fat Disease, a disease resulting from a diet high in unsaturated fatty acids and deficient in Vitamin E.
Overall, Yellow Fat Disease symptoms occurred in pigs fed high oxidant diets, without antioxidant supplementation. The addition of AGRADO® Plus alone, or the combination of AGRADO® Plus with vitamin E, reduced the negative effects of oxidation in the feed. This prevented Yellow Fat Disease symptoms and proved to be effective in improving animal growth performance and carcass meat quality, when compared to Vitamin E alone.
The results of the university's research are summarized in two studies published in the December 2014 issue of the Journal of Animal Science. The first study examines the effects of antioxidant supplementation on pig growth, liver function and oxidative status. The second study examines the impact on carcass characteristics, meat quality and fatty acid profile.
"Supplementing pig diets with a high quality antioxidant is important, not only to prevent feedstuff oxidation, but also for the positive systemic effects antioxidants provide." Zhao added.

So sometimes you're super lucky and you run in a place where there's lovely water fountains. Or you run a race where there's water stops every mile. Or you have an AMAZING friend who was your sherpa for the best race you've ever had. Either way, at some point during running there comes a moment when your going to have to schlep your own crap. I've learned with the farther distance I'm running, the more random junk I decide to take with me. On a short run, it's only my iPod and pepper spray. Once I get up in mileage though we start throwing in the iPhone, the iFitness Belt, the fuel, the water, and before we know it I've got tons of crap to carry.
I never got used to the whole 'fuel belt' deal that most people resort to, so I usually either use water stops or a hand held. Now here is where things get a little interesting. When I first heard of people carrying hand helds I thought, " These people gotta be CRAZY because I could NEVER run with anything in my hands. Ever. Period. End. Of. Story." Well I realized I just had to train myself to get used to it and now I swear by the old handheld! I love carrying it when I run and though I do not mind using water stops pending the drink won't mess with my super sensitive stomach, I love just having my water with me.
You might ask yourself, well how do I 'train' myself to run with something. I started off with carrying something small on a shorter run. Try sunglasses, pepper spray, or a even a hair rubber band or something.
Anything to carry that is really small. It's really easy to try to teach yourself to get in the habit. Once you've done that a few times, you can slowly move up to a water bottle. They have smaller ones to try to start with. You can keep working with smaller items until you are comfortable. Another weird part of carry your own water is the fact that you'll hear the sloshing of the water. It does make it much easier to drink water and you can do it on your schedule, not when there is a water stop. Then you can move up to a full on water bottle if you'd like! That's what I prefer!
I actually have the GoLite Bottle and I love it! It works perfect and I can shove some extra stuff in the little pocket on the side. I also seem to have a weird thing about strapping it SUPER tight to my hand, so I have weird velcro indentations after my run. Strange, but I like it easier when I don't have to grip it as tightly. I'm always scared it's going to go flying, but I've yet to have that happen to me. Knock on wood.
Tomorrow, after running about 10 miles in the past three weeks, I've got an 18 miler on my plate. Should be interesting. I truly have no idea how how I'm going to run a full marathon in 24 days, but it will be fun. I just hope it's not another LA Marathon Experience, even if it is, it's okay. It's my 6th marathon and I'm running it the weekend of my birthday and I'm running it for fun. All I'm sayin' is DANG that medal better be awesome! :) I'm working Saturday all day after my long run and then Sunday, I'm heading up to the lake for one last little summer fling. I can't believe that summer has already come and gone! I don't know where the time goes, seriously!

Make Your Healthcare Services More Accessible
Many Patients Who Need Your Services Are Staying Away Because of Finances
As a patient, when the Affordable Health Care legislation was enacted I was very happy. I have back problems, osteoarthritis and high blood pressure. Now, I know my health is not that bad when compared to others, but my conditions are pre-existing. Hence, insurance companies who are in the business of making money, and who count on patients not submitting any claims to keep their bottom line positive, do not want anything to do with me or people like me.
Because of the AHA health care insurance providers had to take folks like me in, but they have made it so that the premiums are so high that people can not afford coverage. To make things worse, under the current administration, states and insurance operatives are quickly dismantling the protection that the average person had under Obama Care, and many people are once again unable to get the heath care that they need.
So once again, patients are getting their care at the emergency room, and if they show up to a doctors office, often times they do not have the funds to come back for a follow up visit, or to get any testing done in order to help physicians provide better care. This scenario does not affect physicians only, physical therapist, dentist, optometrists, chiropractors. Many other healthcare practitioners are adversely affected by this problem.
Make Your Healthcare Service Affordable to Your Patients
You No Longer Need to be a Slave of the Insurance Companies
Have you considered using the services of a health care financing company? With this type of service you can help your patients set up a payment plan that is affordable to them. Not only that, but giving your uninsured patients the ability to afford your healthcare services enables you to focus on what you do best. So instead of having to deal with the insurance companies telling you how you should treat your patients and for how long, you can help your patients by providing you what they need base on your professional assessment.
There are a few companies out there providing patient payment plans. Most of them charge a substantial set up and monthly fee that must be paid even if you sign up and never use the service. You would need to have a certain volume of business that you will have to finance in order to benefit from using this companies. They also have a tremendous amount of requirements that makes it very hard to be part of their program. So you could spend time setting up presentations and filling out underwriting paper work, and still end up not getting accepted by the program. Obviously, that is one thing to consider, do I want to deal with a sales presentation, or do I have better things to do with my time?
However there is a company out there that has simplified the entire process to the point that all you need is a few minutes filling out an online sign up form. They do not have a set up fee, and they do not have mandatory monthly fees even if you don't use their services. The fees for their services are worked into the patients monthly payment, so in essence you do not have to pay monthly fees. Below there is a brochure that explains more about the program. There is a link on the brochure that will lead you directly to the application so you can sign up and be up and running in no time.
