#27 - Alton & Andre's Deco Lite in Chelsea
Name: Alton & Andre
Location: Chelsea, NY
Size: 460 Sq Ft type; Alcove Studio
Favorite resource:
What inspired you?
Inspiration starts with the character of the apartment. We enjoy several compact residences around the globe instead of a big house in one place. (Currently there are three, including both our home towns in Texas and Rio de Janeiro.) At our London Terrace apartment in NYC, inspiration is drawn from the Deco History of the building coupled with the spirit of the hip Chelsea Neighborhood.
...We were lucky to find a place with all original detailing. Building off that, we have maintained a square geometry with decor - square tables, sofas, chairs, etc. We have also find that a restrained colour palette allows for continuity throughout the space.
Design Tip:
Designate ambiances through use of area rugs, art work, lighting and floral.

Oh My! It's beautiful and it looks like a relaxing retreat. My only critical comment would be that I would never be able to sleep in a closet. (And I've slept in some questionable places) ;)
Pardon me, that's 2 people sleeping in one very very small closet.
Sleeping in the closet! Wow. Just wow. But I love the space anyway--funky & eccentric, yet elegant.
Is the bed really in the closet or was it stored there for the photography??? Is this how it normally is?? That is really...vampiric. Sheesh. The sun has set! i shall open my coffin bedroom doors and then go suck the blood out of unsuspecting homeless people and Wynona!!
Other than that i love the colors. Love the lighting fixtures. love the wood-slat eames coffee table (i can't find one that doesn't cost $600 - anyone know of any knockoffs?) i hate the sofas for two reasons: (i) i hate the icky floral pattern that reminds me of southern decorating and, by association, southern people and (ii) i don't like the white borders around the sofas, they are too striking somewhow. And I don't like the little white television, for some reason it immediately transports me to a hospital and makes me feel like there are needles jammed in my arms and a painful catheter in my urethra.
What's wrong with Southern people?
I love this place. It's got a real point of view, and it's a great mix of styles, without feeling like it's trying too hard.
When I was a kid, I used to nap in my closet, so I think it looks cozy.
I mean really, you live in Chelsea, no need to spend your nights in the closet.
I've been hitting the refresh button waiting for a closet joke -- LOL!!!
The day may have hit its nadir, as I find myself agreeing with Jonathan. That's got to be a sign of needing serious meds or chocolate or wine or something.
For such a stylish apartment it would be nice to see a shot of the kitchen and that largish looking bathroom/dressing area. Or the desk area.
Wende, try fudge or chocolate truffles with champagne. Unbelievable.
The two white canvases are too high! Hope there aren't any fire drills while they are sleeping. I couldn't hack it alone in that closet and with someone else? nevermind.
Dentist's waiting room. I can almost hear the drill.
It seems like there should be an overly-ornate glass dish of chalky candy in there somewhere.
Snarkiness aside, it is a very well layed-out space.
That's not a drill. It's trance music.
Hmm, another multi-residence entry...
My goodness, ebrown, there mere *thought* of chocolate truffles and champagne is improving my joie de vivre!
I think part of the issue with this apartment is that the sofa and chair have not quite found their moment of popular chicness yet. I could almost deal with them as campy wit if they were firmly separated from the country style end table, dining table, and two of the dining chairs.
Not really my taste, however the apartment certainly is creative and looks very different from all of the "mid century modern" many others aspire to. I wonder what the duration of this couples' stay is in NYC? Also I don't see much in terms of storage space, where are clothing, books, etc kept? And that bed in the closet looks soooo uncomfortable....ouch!
Funny, I once had an apartment in the "Olive Tower" in Seattle with nearly the exact same layout, including the dressing room, and yes I also put my bed in the closet. It happened to be 4ft 6in by 8ft, perfect for my bed. And even better, I never had to make the bed, just close the door and Wham Bam, ready for company.
As for the bed being in the closet being weird? It's a small space, folks! Putting the bed in the closet is a brilliant idea, beats having your bed in the middle of your living room, or living in the middle of your bedroom.
Sheesh, this is almost as bad as the folks freakin out over a toilet in the shower stall in "#13 Michelle's Venice Loft" (LA-AT)
Too much white, which is a strange criticism but it was my gut reaction. The floor and walls are warm and lovely but all the strong white in the furnture and accesories are a little off-putting. Something different art-wise over the sofa perhaps? Looks like it's blessed with plenty of natural light.
I don't think this couple lives there year round.....where's their stuff?? Where do all you people store your STUFF???????? I've purged, I've downsized, I've clean and I still have STUFF.
I'm on a big "paint everything" Swedish kick right now, so I like the couches and adore the dining area. And the "bed in the closet" seems so traditionally scandinavian. I think I saw something like it in a book of Carl Larssen prints--with two adorable kids poking their heads out of it.
So cute, not creepy. Pick your poison.
Oh, woe is me. The contest is getting harder. Today we learned about class differences and people started talking about breaking the contest into groups based on how much people spent. So I'm getting depressed, thinking about poverty and alienation.
But nevermind! The healing power of design. (Mutter, mutter). I too, put my bed in the closet when I lived in Seattle, Devyn. Small world.
I like this place quite a bit. Like the white furniture, true Art Deco stuff, hate the TV, guess I hate my own TV too now that I think about it. Since it's period, they should take it up a notch and get more mirrored groovy stuff. Frankly, as a non-full-time residence it doesn't really look lived in so I don't think it can win, if the judges feel as we do.
Jonathan, There are knockoffs here: http://www.allworldfurniture.com/ and they ship since I'm guessing you're not in SF.
The table and chair do seem to be a bit 70's in their color schemes, which isn't bad if that is what you had in mind. I think they'd look great covered in a muted blue velvet.
I'm looking at the picture with the starburst chandelier... love it! Can't tell if its the real art deco thing or Ikea, but its great anyway.
Glad someone commented on the closet joke. Living Castro "adjacent" you'd think I would clue in faster.
I love the living area. They have alot of stuff under the bed, maybe that answers the wheres there stuff question.
nice place! i would guess that they keep most of their stuff at their home in texas since they mentioned that is there hometown?
even if it's one of three and i'm a bit jealous of the thought of a home in rio, i commend you for taking the time and having the style to make this home so pretty.
someone mentioned chalky candy, i say jordan almonds,
I admire the restraint this place has. I doubt they sleep with the closet doors closed, and the closet seems like the natural place for a bed in such a small space. Give the couches a coat of silver paint and acid green upholstery and you're on the verge of LA fab. Being I'm seeing a single closet, I'm inclined to think this is a crash pad and their 'stuff' is distributed between their other residences.
As for Jonathan's 'southern people' comment, either he was bruised by a rough backwoods Arkansas upbringing where They Just Didn't Understand Him, or else he doesn't get out much.
I'm jealous if this is a crash pad rental. They should give up the apartment and let it go back to the open market in NYC. Too many 3 month "New Yorkers" holding onto their places and living primarily somewhere else causes a dearth of decent rentals for people who live here full time.
Love it!
the couch and chair say "grandma's screened porch" to me...
and the bed says "I never wake up in the middle of the night having to go to the bathroom."
All my best,
Phyllis G.
so gay and fabulous...nothing in this place has any resale value.
There is no real art.
Since it was submitted, the owners must now realize that all they own is horrible crap.
Nontheless, I'd go there in a second for a party,
since it does have a wicked attitude.
Bravo, for submitting it......surely the prize winner for what not to do......the dried out floral treatments send me heaving......
All I can say is Why, Why , Why....maybe one of their other homes are less drekorated???
this home is very prickly and cold, do vampires really live here?
I like the neoclassical stuff - it's a nice change from the modernist Scandinavian furniture that's been the staple of this contest. The blinding whiteness of it makes the apartment look like the finale of "2001," but if these were distressed fleamarket finds, I guess the entrants didn't have a choice but to paint them. I do have to agree with the commentary that this space cheats a little in terms of being a functional year-round living space. I wonder how much time Alton & Andre really spend here.
I really like:
1. the overall design sense---very clean and consistent
2. the lighting fixtures---not boring!
3. the color scheme---sophisticated
I really don't like the furniture---ick! I've seen furniture like that in the houses of friends' parents who haven't had money to redecorate since 1952 (and the stuff wasn't designer to start with). I'm sorry, that's harsh, but really, that's what it reminds me of.
The only suggestion I would make is to change the rug for a bigger one. The one under the coffee table is too small and a shot of color under under there would be nice.
And here I was thinking furniture only came in brown and silver. I love the upholstered pieces. Hate the dining table and the bed frame. I don't mind the bed-closet part--it's a traditional scandinavian thing, but generally with wider doors and a closed platform for the bed. I don't like the shelves across the back--it makes the space seem even more confined; I would move them to the short ends and center the bed or have a custom mattress built to fill the whole space. Right now it looks like it's trying to be a room. Unsuccessfully.
I'm feeling the Brazil in this, and would love to see what Texas looks like...
I even like the vacation house look of the bed crypt.
And that lamp transforms the living room
but I can't vote for anymore places that aren't fulltime homes!
I will say that I like the old luggage under their bed. They seem to be the only things in the place that had any life to speak of!
This space reminds me of those Dentyne Ice commercials in which the person with the Dentyne ice in their mouth blows cold air out of their mouth & everything in sight turns to, well, ice.
I don't find a lot of warmth here at all, and it could be just because it isn't their main place.
For me, there's no "HOME" in this home.
"so gay and fabulous..."
...followed by a nasty stream of invectives, which lets us know there's only one way to take the opening.
People like you send me heaving. Check yourself.
and btw, though i can't get past the bed in the closet, there are many beautiful things here: the color palette - sophisticated, indeed - the mix of styles, the wonderful lighting fixtures, the wealth of textures.
is it possible they have noisy neighbors upstairs (it's a studio, after all), and the closet is the only refuge?
I want to tell you about a book and book readings in the last month of March. There is something about your sensibilities that lines up . . .

I live in London Terrace, I don't think their apartment refelects the flavor of the bulding at all. If that is what they wanted it did not work. I have a larger closet but would not sleep in it, I need it for my stuff.
It is a cute apt. for a twentysomething.
you need to work on your lighting, guys. this place is depressingly flat as it is and all of your ceiling down and centralized lighting will only make this condition worse.. i might want to hang myself if kept in this cage for too long..
too much decorating going on as well, and too little attention to improving and expanding the quality and quantity of spacial effects... which dovetails, somewhat, into the comment above.
I think it's really lovely- the light fixtures ae gorgeous.
Hmmmm, the sofa and chair don't look too comfy, and the TV is behind them?
And I thought only men in California came out of the closet each and every morning! If the bed is in the closet, then are the clothes in the bedroom that isn't there?
Who are all these new obnoxious posters? If you're going to try to out-Jonathan Jonathan, at least be clever and funny. News-flash - you're not.
I like the bed in the closet. I've often wondered why that isn't more popular in small apartments. It is a practical solution reminicent of enclosed cabinet-type beds used in Colonial American homes and Scandanavia. It seems cozy, though I'd probably have to add some ventilation holes...
hey, all you closet-complainers, just remember it might be Eric Bana sleeping in that closet -- didn't anyone here see Munich? (yes I know he's supposed to be rather extraordinarily happily married according to that ridiculous film, still I'd never pass up sharing a closet with him...)
I agree with the commentators that there's too much white. A bit of an accent is O.K., but white edgings everywhere ruins any attempt at subtlety with the rest of the coloring.
hey! southerners are wonderful, fabulous people. i like it. i don't care for the white canvases though. i can sleep in that closet if i'm by myself and the doors remain open. i like the thought of hiding the bed while entertaining, unless it was the sexy boom boom room entry. the pics go well with my expresso and astrud giberto singing on my computer.
btw i like the blending of the cultures. you see Brasil and Texas charm without the poof. nice job guys.
I am loving the lucite shelf unit beside the couch. Anyone know where I could find something similar? I'd love to use one as a bedside table.
Some very beautiful elements--I loved that first photo. Following on Guido's comments, though, I think I should also comment that it's in general a bad idea here on AT, in the smallest coolest contest in particular, to admit--nay, brag--that you have additional apartments. Some people successfully fit all their life into one apartment this size or smaller, and it's those peoples' places that I am most impressed with. I think it's infinitely easier to design a nice hotel room. It's like when I was in college studying abroad, with the majority of my stuff at my parents' house. I lived very efficiently having only brought 2 suitcases with me. Could I live like that forever? Of course not. You've got the tax returns for at least 7 years, you've got your family photos (and ptooey to those who say they can be digital only), and for me, papers I wrote, things given to me that have meaning, etc etc.
Rant over! I like the bed in the closet, though I think I'd wake up screaming thinking I'd died and been buried.
News-flash follow-up--
Not everyone shares your whole-hog enthusiasm for Jonathan's humor, NT.
And, um, the majority of the comments here are not that high on the nasty scale.
(speaking quietly and quickly, so as not to derail thread:)
(thnks guido)
I'm not just referring to this thread - I'm referring to the comments on all the contest threads lately. And I'm not the only one who has noticed.
I realize that not everyone likes Jonathan's sense of humor. I think that has been made abundantly clear by all the efforts to ban him. That is not my point. My point is that I'm surprised about how many people are jumping on the "let's try to make clever obnoxious comments about other people's homes to show how brilliant and funny we are." But personally, I'm not finding their comments that funny - just mean-spirited. I'm not trying to ban them - just expressing my opinion.
It's also my opinion (and just my opinion) that Jonathan's comments are so outrageously over-the-top that no one should ever take them seriously. The difference for me is these people are making really harsh comments that I think they actually mean - they are not over the top - they are kind of cruel. I feel bad for these contestants who are being subjected to disparaging comments that seem designed to show how clever posters are at the expense of the contestants' feelings. It takes a lot of guts to enter these competitions and I hope people will be a bit more thoughtful with their comments. And that includes Jonathan.
I have to say that that is the ONLY installation of that kind of white milk-glass bud vase that I have EVER liked anywhere, inextractibly linked to the ONLY time I probably would ever TRULY like that kind of table and chairs. I mean, both of those elements work so well together, that it's impossible to imagine either of them tolerably elsewhere or elsewise.
And I love that wall color with the floor and the couch and the white accents in there.
And that coffee table performs a similar service that a glass one might, since it sort of imitates the wood flooring, so your eye can rest gently on, instead of being stopped dead in its tracks. I think this is kind of wonderful.
I see wheels on that bed, which means that they probably use it in kind of a Murphy sort of way, and that impossible height looks like it's soemtimes used for massage. I don't know about the rest of you, but that sounds like a good thing to me.
I also like the white TV, and have actually recommended (specified) that someone get a white TV before, and it worked there, and I think it works here, too.
I agree that it takes a lot of guts, and thick skin, to enter these contests (and I know, first hand, of what I speak...)
I also agree that the anonymity of the web allows some "bravery" in comments that people wouldn't-- in person-- dare to say or even kid about. And yeah, that sucks to the entrants. (I think it sucks even more when people make nasty, snarky comments to House Tour people, who are not submitting for prize or fame gain, but out of sheer house pride... but that's another topic).
I've been a long-time proponent on this site for "constructive criticism" or, alternately, the "if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all" schools of thought. EVEN IF the site encourages explanation of negative votes...
I still maintain "clever" is even highly subjective. And, perhaps it's easy for you to defend Jonathan because his "over the top" "hilarious" wrath is never aimed at you.
And for the record, I was not one of the "ban Jonathan" lobbyists...
Looks to me like the bed is on casters, and could be rolled out. Like the jackknife, this could be another option to the Murphy bed (though I don't think the size of the closet doors would actually let the bed pass through).
I'm sorry, but I had to blurt out laughing when I read that they "...enjoy several compact residences around the globe instead of a big house in one place..." and it turned that "around the globe" was just one place outside of the US.
And a deep closet with a pair of doors does not qualify it to be an "alcove" studio.
Texas doesn't count as a foreign country?
Actually, that is not true. He told me my I would like the crappy ikea shoe cabinets because I have bad taste, called me pretentious and made disparaging remarks about my book collection. The difference is that I knew he was being outrageous and did not mean what he said - just like he didn't mean any of the outrageous statements he made to anyone else. In fact, he usually means the opposite of what he says. That is why when people get upset at his comments, I think it's bizarre, because he clearly doesn't mean them. My intent is not so much to "defend" him as to try to get people to see that their feelings are getting hurt unnecessarily. Don't take his comments seriously - that's all.
Are Jonathan, Phyllis Gabor, and jmc (and maybe others) all the same person? Why has he been allowed back?
I love that they notated the bathroom with "W.C."
I actually think this place is really lovely, and that maybe there's a sense of humor to it that doesn't come across. I mean, the country-cozy dining room table, on casters? It just seems like a real wink. I wish I had a pretty little bed like that in a closet.
Devyn, my ex boyfriend used to live in the Olive Towers! It was the nicest studio apartment I've ever seen, and I can totally picture your bed-closet setup.
I stand corrected. You've obviously been paying more attention to his posts than I have, since I tend to blow right past anything with his name on it now.
So, to take your own advice, um, don't take seriously those who are pissing YOU off.
As I have said many times, it's all relative, and all VERY subjective.
Gabor and jmc are too short-winded to be Jonathan.
(sorry Alton and Andre to derail the discussion about your fun and funky pad...)
OMG, this one is almost my dream space. My dream space is Mae West's bedroom as shown in those Diane Arbus photos. Something Frenchy in pink, white and gold. Anyway, extra points for the starburst chandelier and extra points for having my middle name, Alton.
Maybe a bit too many styles going on.
Like several other posters I'm very puzzled by the "bed closet"? Is that really functional? Otherwise I rather like this space although not entirely to my taste. Especially the ceiling light fixtures and my mother would have loved the milk glass collection.
i agree jefferey. mae west is too fierce. she can do no wrong.
i don't think we should give the meanies too much power. they obviously live for the reaction.
that mae west pic just made my day foreva.
OMIGOD, it's Mae in heaven!
She's mirroring Esther Williams, her lady friend in the afterlife.
Thx for the link, Jeffrey.
Where do you suppose she got
that coverlet on the bed . . . ?
Beats me, but if you ever find one, let me know. I'd love to have a quilted satin duvet cover.
I think this apartment could use a little more Mae. Pull the colors together, replace a few pieces, reduce the number of objects d'art . . .
Actually, I think the world could use a little more Mae, but that's another topic.
P2 - of course I was paying attention to his posts where was responding directly to one of my design questions - i think it would have been pretty rude to ask for advice and then ignore the responses.
You misunderstand me - i'm not pissed off at any of these posters. And yes I agree that you've repeatedly said that it's all relative - which is why i've repeatedly said I am just expressing my opinion. I'm not sure why you feel the need to keep telling me it's all relative.
In my opinion, the posters are being too harsh on the contestants and I'm hoping that they will tone it down. They're trying too hard to be funny and they're not thinking about how their comments might hurt other people's feelings.
"They're trying too hard to be funny and they're not thinking about how their comments might hurt other people's feelings. "
NT, that sounds like your Rodney Dangerfield online beau to me. Really.
Guido - it was nice to meet you the other night at the party. I'm sorry that you didn't feel you could say anything more to me than repeat "don't feed the troll" over and over again. I would have liked to have gotten to know you better. I guess my opinions about Jonathan have touched a lot of nerves here and people just don't feel they can let it go. I hope everyone can try and move on because the topic is starting to get a bit old. Let's try to think of something else to talk about.
NT, I'm not into beating a dead horse
but you . . . complaining about rudeness . . . when you were the champion Jonathan at his worst . . .
hard to resist calling you out on it!
Guido - you've missed the point of my post - but that's fine - it seems to happen a lot. best to just move on.
I agree about the critical remarks. I wish people would knock it off.
This apartment is truly different from anything I've seen. That alone makes it remarkable.
Bed in the closet: I like it a lot. What is the difference if, when used, the doors are left open? This seems better to me than having the bed in the room.
Now as to the issue of two people in a single bed? That seems uncomfortable to me. Here, I would have had a contractor make the closet just a bit wider so as to accomodate a double bed. This does not seem to be a very expensive thing to do, but would have made a world of difference.
Though this apartment is not my taste, I commend the tenants for their very good furniture arrangement, very interesting use of color, and for not having the bed out in the main room, as is typical in studios.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this place... i have been in some of the smallest nyc apts and this place is so clever and incredibly smart. For the size which is smaller than most of the other apts in this contest- i find it to be much more spacious, intelligently designed and more liveable... but then again i seem to have more discriminating taste than some other characters who surveyed on this site.
It's amazingly open and airy for such a small space! Perfect for relaxing and enjoying. A little bit of cozy mixed in with slick and chic. Gorgeous, when can I move in?
Hi Alton & Andre,
We're interested in your space & would love to talk to you about our HGTV show, "Small Space, Big Style". Would you be able to email us at firstname.lastname@example.com so we can get in touch with you?
I think its cute that two boys are sleeping in the closet.
May your dreams carry you.
~carol anne
Not my taste but best so far. Very harmoneous and very selective pieces. That is what design is about.
Too many different crazy lamps/chandaliers (sp.) We get it, but having just one will allow it to be unqiue and intriguing. Inventive to put the bed in the closet, but do you bump your head on the shelf in the morning?
I feel obliged to explain when I post a negative vote for a place, so here 'tis. I just don't get a feeling of home here. I do love your use of (iron?) garden furniture, but overall, it's just too cold and spare for me. Sorry. Maybe it's because this isn't your main home.
An open question...does anyone feel it's not quite fair to judge the apartment of a person who has only one place to call home (and store stuff) against someone who has several?
About the talk of banning someone named Jonathan. I have stopped going into forums because there is always someone ganging up against someone else. This is a contest. It's supposed to be fun. Just let it go guys!
If the bed is in the closet, where are your clothes?
For Jonathan at 03/16/06 7:23 PM
You mean the Nelson bench? I've been looking for a bargain price too, but if it's more than free, it's too expensive for me.
Maybe this one is within your budget? And if you ever get tired of it, you know who to send it to...ME
I don't know how to make small links, so it's in my name. I still haven't heard back from whomever gets the email here if it's okay to post links.
I like finding things for people.
I like it. I think it is unique, different and interesting. A nice variation in colors and design.
As for the bed, I like the smallest space used as a bedroom sinc I never go in mine. I wish I had the ability to make my living space larger and my bedroom smaller. So I think it is efficient.
If it works for them, then excellent. I like the feel and the look.
Absolutely gorgeous, although I'm not going to vote because it's not a full-time residence. The couch and chairs are fantastic! I'm sure they were a lot of fun to work with--nearly anything would look great with them, IMO.
I agree it should be allowed to enter since you are wealthy enough to own 3 or 4 different places. Not fair. Weird place, sorta cold. I think it's an afterthought to wherever it is that you might really live with color, (Brazil? Texas?) do you just like the nyc retreat to be so quiet?
question about the dining room table, did u put those casters on it urself or did u buy it that way? i need a table on wheels too please!
I love the idea of the bed in a closet - very clever! I signed up to this website b/c I love the clever ideas people come up with in their tiny spaces. Thank you for inspiring me to come up w/great ideas for my tiny bedrooms. :)

Wow, great job Nivanka! This looks really cool
We've just finished a website for a client which also uses MailChimp, but we just included the MCAPI class on the front-end to enable visitors to subscribe to the newsletters. The client has to log onto the MailChimp website to actually manage lists and campaigns. But integrating this into the Silverstripe CMS is more efficient - so I've bookmarked the Google Code page and I'm pretty sure we'll be investigating this some more next time a SS project comes around!

I've officially put up a donation button on my blog. It's on the very bottom of the page and it's pretty small. I'd really appreciate any sort of donation because I need to pay my tuition and the job I have currently is not going to be enough.
If you ever liked a piece of my writing and you've got a dollar to spare, a donation would be greatly appreciated.2 years ago | 16 notes

The potential for the team at Alabama is electric, and from the second I got on campus, I knew that it was something I wanted to be a part of. The coaches expect high character as well as academic excellence from their athletes in addition to their hard work in the pool. Not to mention that the resources for scholar-athletes there are second to none! I can't wait to see what God has in store for me these next four years! The only thing left for me to say is "ROLL TIDE!!!"
Mia Nonnenberg 11 months, 1 week ago Scranton, PA USA
I really loved everything about the school! The coaches and team felt like a family with a vision that I definitely wanted to be a part of. It's a very exciting place to be and I know it will lead me to my goals as an athlete and as a student. Roll Tide!
D.J Lang 11 months, 1 week ago Denton, TX USA
Both the coaching staff and the athletes at Alabama made me feel like I was a part of the team on my visit. After seeing the state of the art facilities, and their technical approach to training, I knew that this would be the place for me to reach my full potential as a student-athlete. Roll Tide!!
Temarie Tomley 11 months, 1 week ago Cincinnati, OH USA
The coaches and team are a family, one that I wanted to really be a part of. It's also a place of a lot of positive, new, and exciting energy that I know will help me achieve my goals both in the pool and in the classroom. Roll Tide!
Bailey Scott 1 year, 4 months ago Belden, MS USA
The coaches are absolutely amazing, and I believe they can offer me the best opportunities I need in order for me to reach my full potential. I'm really looking forward to see what God has in store for me at the University of Alabama!

Indian Bank is an Indian state-owned financial services company headquartered in Chennai, India. It has 19000 employees, 2100 branches and is one of the big public sector banks of India. It has overseas branches in Colombo, Jaffna, Sri Lanka, Singapore, and 229 correspondent banks in 69 countries. Since 1969 the Government of India has owned the bank, which celebrated its centenary in 2007.
Early formation and expansion[edit]
In the last quarter of 1906, Madras (now Chennai) was hit by the worst financial crisis the city was ever to suffer.[1] Of the three best-known British commercial names in 19th century Madras, one crashed; a second had to be resurrected by a distress sale; and the third had to be bailed out by a benevolent benefactor. Arbuthnot & Co, which failed, was considered the soundest of the three. Parry's (now EID Parry), may have been the earliest of them and Binny & Co.'s founders may have had the oldest associations with Madras, but it was Arbuthnot, established in 1810, that was the city's strongest commercial organisation in the 19th Century. A key figure in the bankruptcy case for Arbuthnot's was the Madras lawyer, V. Krishnaswamy Iyer; he went on to organise a group of Chettiars that founded Indian Bank. Annamalai and Ramaswami Chettiar founded Indian Bank (IB) on 5 March 1907, and it commenced operations 15 August 1907 with its head office in Parry's Building, Parry Corner, Madras.
Post Independence of India[edit]
After the war, in 1948, it reopened its branch in Colombo. Indian Bank also reopened its branches in Burma, Malayan and Singapore, the last in 1962. The Burmese government nationalised all foreign banks, including Indian Bank's branch, in 1963.
The 1960s saw IB expand domestically as it acquired Rayalaseema Bank (est. 1939), Mannargudi Bank (est. 1932), Bank of Alagapuri, Salem Bank (est. 1925), and Trichy United Bank. (Trichy United was the result of the 1965 merger of Woraiyur Commercial Bank, the Palakkarai Bank and the Tennur Bank.) These were all small banks with the result that all the acquisitions added only about 38 branches to IB's network. Trichy United had five branches and its acquisition in 1967 brought the number of IB branches up to 210.
Then on 19 July 1969 the Government of India nationalised 14 top banks, including Indian Bank. One consequence of the nationalisation was that the Malaysian branches of nationalised Indian banks were forbidden to continue to operate as branches of the parent. At the time, Indian Bank had three branches, and Indian Overseas Bank, and United Commercial Bank had eight between them. In 1973 the three established United Asian Bank Berhad to amalgamate and take over their Malaysian operations.
International expansion continued in 1978 with IB becoming a technical adviser to PT Bank Rama in Indonesia, the result of the merger of PT Bank Masyarakat and PT Bank Ramayana. Two years later, IB, Bank of Baroda, and Union Bank of India established IUB International Finance, a licensed deposit taker in Hong Kong. Each of the three banks took an equal share in the joint venture.
Post nationalisation[edit]
In 1969 the Government of India nationalised Indian Bank, and thirteen other banks.
In 1990, Indian Bank rescued Bank of Tanjore (Bank of Thanjavur; est. 1901), with its 157 branches, based in Tamil Nadu.
A multi-crore scam was exposed in 1992, when then chairman M. Gopalakrishnan lent ₹13 billion to small corporates and exporters from the south, which the borrowers never repaid.
Bank of Baroda bought out its partners in IUB International Finance in Hong Kong in 1998. Apparently this was a response to regulatory changes following Hong Kong's reversion to Chinese control. IUB became Bank of Baroda (Hong Kong), a restricted licence bank.

#95b. Smoked Beer
Entry: The Bruery's Bourbon Barrel-Aged Smoking Wood (13%ABV, California)
Another fantastic beer from our hometown craft beer hero. After the "Voodoo Doughnut Bacon Maple Ale" (and a distant memory of really disliking Mikkeller's "Beer Geek Bacon" smoked stout), I was worried that I just wouldn't be a fan of smoked beers since a prevalent liquid smoke flavor wasn't something I enjoyed. But this thing wiped THAT idea right away.
This beer succeeds in every way the Rogue "Smoked Beer" entry fails. While Rogue is thin and flat, this is creamy and rich and full. It pours a deep brown-bordering-on-black with a nice tan head that has nice lacing. And unlike the clunky, inelegant Rogue, the flavor here is so perfectly well-blended. The beer flavor and bourbon infusion have created this mix of vanilla, toffee, chocolate, light coffee flavor, and roasted malts (all befitting a porter that aged in a bourbon barrel). And after this wonderfully complex taste, a light smokiness emerges as an accompaniment, as opposed to a bull in a china shop overpowering everything. Incredibly, the 13% alcohol content is perfectly masked, making this thing a delicious and complex beer that has elevated itself through nuance and quality brewing. I still don't think I'm a fan of the style (of the three smoked beers I've had, this one was the only one I enjoyed), but the Bruery has made something of such quality that I'd be interested in trying more.
I'm done with this beer-tasting project. I don't know what to do with my life, now.

Do you think you know your recruiting? Do you have some inside information that no one else knows? Then let's have some fun.
Take your best guess on where five high-profile recruits will sign on Wednesday …
Greg Reid, DB, Lowndes. It's Florida State, UGA, and Alabama. His Lowndes teammate and cousin, Gerald Demps, is headed to Florida State, and some family members would like him to play a little closer to home (Tallahassee is 85 miles away, while Athens is 240). Reid admits with Georgia being his final official visit, they are in great position to make the biggest influence before signing day. Will it be enough?
Jarvis Jones, LB, Carver-Columbus. The poker-faced Jones lists Florida, Southern Cal, UGA, LSU and Texas. There's an "80-percent chance" he'll go out of state. Mark Richt spent six hours with Jones on Wednesday. Was that enough to make Jones think about staying around home to play?
Darren Myles, DB, Carver-Atlanta. He is taking an official visit to Kentucky this weekend, but his dad says it's down to Alabama, LSU, and Tennessee.
Marlon Brown, WR, Memphis. It seems like the entire state of Tennessee is counting on Brown to play for the Volunteers, where he is taking his final recruiting trip. Brown is close friends with Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor, but also told some Georgia commitments awhile back that he will be signing with the Bulldogs. Which is it? Tennessee, UGA, Ohio State, Florida or Ole Miss?
Jawanza Starling, DB, Tallahassee, Fla. Starling has had little to say about recruiting, which makes him maybe the toughest to read. He is the cousin of UGA defensive back Bryan Evans. His high school has sent a steady pipeline of players to FSU. So it's FSU, Georgia, Notre Dame, Stanford, Florida, or LSU?
Copy and paste this format below, and insert your picks by each prospect's name.
REID: Your pick. JONES: Pick. MYLES: Pick. BROWN: Pick. STARLING: Pick.

Michael, This is poor journalism, when you leave out guys like Bobby Massie, and Orson Charles. Be on point when you write about football in the south, after all this is SEC country, and every now and then show the ACC a little love. Most of these guys are the Dawgs easy picking,but don't be surprised with JONES, A LIFE LONG GATOR FAN, the chance for people in your home state to always remember you, and family to see you will take top priorrity over everything else.

Atlanta's Anthony L. Williams, left, debuts this week as one of the designing hopefuls on Project Runway.
Longtime local fashion industry type Kevin Knaus will certainly be watching, having played a crucial early part in Williams' reality show career.
Knaus, along with style icon Tim Gunn and Marie Claire magazine's Zoey Grossman, served as an advance-screening team for the show. They spent a memorable day last May in the downtown W, sifting through the creations of about 60 would-be Project Runway contestants.
Williams dazzled.
"He's got a real comic side to him," said Knaus, right. "He made us laugh hysterically throughout the whole process. Hopefully he'll do us proud."
Williams and two contestants from Florida were part of the group Knaus, Gunn and Grossman saw and will now be on Project Runway.
"They were all so different," Knaus said. "What we saw from (Williams) was some of the most stunning evening wear. He also designs his own jewelry."
Knaus compared Williams' pieces to Oscar de la Renta or Carolina Herrera.
"You could really see those were his inspirations," Knaus said. "He's very talented."
The season premiere airs at 10 p.m. Thursday on Lifetime.

Trevor is just over the border from where we're based at the moment. Spent a few hours trying out sport routes on the Railway Buttress, after a summer spent focusing on bouldering when it came to a warmup on a 4+ it was uncomfortable getting my head around the rope. As a boulder it would have been fine, but as a lead it was unnerving. The base of the buttress slopes away with a steep little mound and everything culminated to an hour setting up an easy climb. Once the climb was set up, the 6a which shared the line looked much more comfortable. If it weren't for our minds we'd all be awesome climbers. Patricia1894 - Lead dog - Aug/13

Kitchen Tour: Katy's Cooperative SoCal Kitchen
Ever walk into a kitchen where eighteen different people cook, friends pool money to save up for major appliances, chore fines are dealt out if you forget to wash dishes and when all the pot-holders are in the laundry, a 20 year old dude just takes off his shirt to lift the piping hot kettle?
Today we tour the Biko House cooperative's kitchen in Isla Vista, California with Katy McCarthy. Join us as we explore this unique kitchen space.
Katy is the food shopper and kitchen organizer (and amazing cook!) in the Biko House Co-op. She's an art student with a flair for home cooking and recipes that are easily adaptable to scaling way up or subbing ingredients she has on hand. The Biko house kitchen feeds eighteen university students three times per day, with breakfast and lunch as 'open fridge' meals (i.e. prepare the food yourself with the stocked fridge and pantry) and dinner as a sit down affair served between 6 and 9pm.
The co-op is essentially subsidized housing/eating, with a strong sense of community. The friendships and bonds formed Katy said have a lot to do with the 'family dinner' served every night. "Cookers" (students assigned to food prep duties) are praised for ambitious recipes — velvety butternut squash soup as well as mussels sautéed in wine sauce were two main dishes that flew off the table, without any leftovers. Farmers markets and cooperative groceries are the mainstays of where the shoppers buy food, sometimes they receive donations of fresh produce.
The kitchen's crown jewel is the industrial grade Wolf Stove, complete with eight burners and two ovens. The sink is a typical restaurant, stainless steel operation with a high-pressure hose spray nozzle. It gets the job done when dishes for eighteen or more (lots of guests/friends are invited) are frequent dinner numbers.
The cupboards hold an ever-changing selection of cooking equipment, appliances, plate and silverware. As students come and go, they add to the collection, often adding to the kitchen for the time they live there, then taking their pots and pans with them as they graduate. I spotted a beautiful, large Le Creuset Dutch oven in the midst of thrift store cookware and beat-up work horse pots. This ebb and flow of ideas, amount of students eating and using the space and the rotating list of equipment make this kitchen the most dynamic I've ever visited.
Read on for Katy's take on keeping up such a remarkable endeavor.
10 Questions for Katy (and Her Kitchen)
1. What inspires your kitchen and your cooking?
I am inspired by the idea of cooking en mass. Family style to the nth degree. Gallons of soup and pounds of quinoa. I love using the big pot — its volume inspires me to fill it with goodness.
2. What is your favorite kitchen tool or element?
The painted ceiling and the stereo.
3. What's the most memorable meal you've ever cooked in this kitchen?
I don't know, it's been a busy quarter (I'm in school) and someone makes dinner every week night. We've had some pretty memorable meals as a house: three course fondue, local Santa Barbara mussels in white wine with homemade whole wheat bread, roll-your-own vegan sushi. We have some incredible vegan chefs here. Keep in mind those dinners are for 18 people. Every dinner here is a dinner party. Personally, when I get a minute to cook I've been perfecting my curry.
4. The biggest challenge in your kitchen:
Sharing the avocados.
5. Is there anything you wish you had done differently? [if renovated]
We're getting renovated in the summer! New windows, more counter space (hallelujah), a whole slew of updates.
6. Biggest indulgence or splurge in the kitchen:
Our tool set of kitchen equipment is just a big potpourri of great things left or donated or shared: three Crock-Pots, a few dehydrators, a heap of pots and pans.
7. Is there anything you hope to add or improve in your kitchen?
Maybe a miniature mural.
8. How would you describe your cooking style?
Reckless, grainy and experimental — like a good film.
9. Best cooking advice or tip you ever received:
Always cook with wine.
10. What are you cooking this week?
Finals week style menu: Quinoa & kale & tofu.

this makes me really happy to no longer be in college.
This is really awesome. I would struggle with the vegan menu choices though. Obviously its not all vegan but there seems to be a lot of vegans there and I would want to be considerate.
@almostcrime: This makes me want to go back to college.
Different ideals! :)
Looks like fun, but not my kind of fun. I can totally appreciate its appeal, though.
I'd prefer it if no one used their sweaty hipster deep v tee to handle the food ;-)
Oh, and I think I need that "what chew want?" board at my house!!! Love it.
Seriously, boys, wear a shirt in the kitchen! Ew.
I'm impressed. No way could I cook for 18 on a (semi) regular basis. Seems as if this works well for this house and it's nice to see a different kitchen tour. Also glad I'm not in college anymore. I'm too OCD.
This seems like a really happy home. And the Compost/ Not Compost sign totally made me smile!
ditto almostcrime... The messiness drove me a little bonkers but then again, I'm pretty far from 20 years old.
I did love the compost sign, the painted ceiling and the green table. Also would've loved to be a part of something like this when I was in college, many eons ago (like oh my god.. look at my awesome spiral perm and my new acid wash jeans).
LOVE the ceiling :)
Yay! Someone else uses "spatulae" as a plural!
This revives my regret of not living in the hippie dorm at college.
I really want to take a mr clean magic eraser to the back of that stove. It would skeeve me out to cook on it with that much latent grease hanging around.
Hahahahaha! Gussiebuns, you read my mind. Dirty baking pans... messy shelves... Yuk. A good deep cleaning and decluttering before taking photos would have made for a lot more compelling story, but as is, I'm really turned off by the clutter and the dinginess of this place.
Grubby grub anyone? I'd pass on the dinner invite.
It is full of charm and interest for me. A lot more interest (and for me, honest) than most of the sterile, too magazine-perfect kitchens we see on here most of the time. When you're cooking for eighteen, I assume you have time to keep things sanitary, but not spotless.
I wouldn't mind the shirtless college guys either, although I might ask them to put on clothes when prepping food.
Agree with dancedancekj - very interesting post. That stove is nearly as dirty as mine.
Aww, it takes me back to my college co-op days! Our house had 15 residents and we cooked dinners 6 nights/week. Good times!
Oh Glerg! I can almost smell the incense wafting in from the next room!
Okay I'm just a few years out of college but am glad to be done with the grubby college house days! A few friends of ours still have this type of kitchen going on and trust me, it is not clean! It's that kind of place where there's a *stick* or a thin layer of grease over most surfaces. It skeeves me out to have to cook at their places and I want to bust out the 409 so bad! I'm sure these kids are all having a ball living and cooking here and that's awesome! I'm just glad I'm not living there! (although I envious of the industrial stove and fridge!)
Wow... This is ridiculously amazing! Vegan meals for 18 people? One kitchen for 18 people! Holy cow! I'm a college student myself living in a household for 7 people (6 right now, but once a new tenant moves in, it'll be 7 people again) and I absolutely cannot stand living with these people (it's mostly because they either never clean up after themselves, they never clean during their assigned week unless I remind them to - I ain't yo' mama! -, or both), let alone cook and eat together! I guess it's all about who you're living with and how well you fit in with these people. This kind of living environment would be an amazing place to live in. Major props.
Totally rockin' concept this! When I remember the non-stop crap I ate in the name of food in college, I wish we'd had something like this, or people so enthusiastic about food to share college with. Cleanliness is in its own place but loving the shared community here. Great job college people!
I went to UCSB (the University they keep referring to) and everyone knew about the BIKO house (because BIKO was written in huge letters on the side of the house)! I went to a party once there and thought the place was a bit dirty, but the people were nice.
This post makes me wish I had looked into living there, as the cooperative kitchen seems like heaven compared to some living situations I was in! :)
doesnt seem dirty to me as much as it does just OLD. We got a really old house, and we keep it clean regularly, but there are parts of the kitchen that are stained and all that, from when the previous owners were there..
This is UCSB? Such a great college town.
I agree with dancedancekj - nice to see a kitchen that actually seems used, and by people who have better things to do than polish the muffin tins and iron the shopping list!
scoff at the shirtlessness all you like, it's the only compelling part
@athanchiz: testify. people don't like sweaty hipster vnecks? fine, more for me.
Seriously, I love this. I don't wanna be all judgey, different strokes and all, but it seems like a lot of people need to get over their fear of a little dirt and use.
I'm amazed that 18 college students live there and it's as clean as it is. It doesn't make for much of a kitchen tour, though. A bowl of oats or lettuce doesn't excite me much.
That ceiling is really cool!
I'm 100% with dancedancekj and elpinko. This place looks lived in, used, and fun as heck. Loving what you cook and enjoying each other's company clearly takes precedent over how organized and spotless everything is.
Reminds me of my kitchen with my best friend in NYC. Tiniest space ever, pots and appliances stacked on top of each other, grease on the stove...I have amazing memories of delicious meals and hilariously cramped dinner parties. That's what cooking is all about!
So, I haven't ever been compelled to comment on a post here before, but reading through some of the comments I just had to clarify something.
For those of you who thought THIS was messy/dirty...you clearly didn't live in true college housing, or ever visit a frat/sorority house.
I went to a pretty big school and didn't live too far off campus, which required a BIG concession in the way of suitable living conditions. We kept it as clean as we could, but with the 5 of us there (2 being people who'd eat a bowl of cereal and leave the bowl in their room for oh...a week or so), you can imagine the nastiness that ensued.
All that being said, I think the kitchen looks great, is well-used, and serves a fantastic purpose. Love the dynamic ebb and flow, too, where students give and take as they come and go. Bravo to them!
This brings back memories of the kitchen in the co-op I lived in during college at UW-Madison - the same huge refrigerators, the banged-up pots and pans, the Hobart dishwasher - where we cooked for 40 people every night. Good times - but yeah, it definitely wasn't very clean. But it was fun at the time, when I was 20 years old!
So it's not perfectly sanitary/antiseptic. It's college and great that these people are taking the time to think about their food and their lives and their environment rather than ordering dominos. Thanks for a great post and showing another side of life besides the groomed kitchens that some of the posts seem to prefer. There is a lot of love here and it comes across in the pictures and text. Great job....I'll come to dinner here any night!
Faroreness, I was one of the commentors that noticed it was messy but also acknowledged I was no longer 20 years old. Went on to say I would've loved living there when I was at that time in my life, as is. But now, if I walked in there, I'd start organizing the cookware and scrubbing away. So sue me, I'm likely the same age as some of the inhabitant's mothers.
I lived in on-campus apartment/housing during my entire college career.
Most of the messy comments weren't negative and I'd bet good money many of those commenters did live in true college housing.
I lived next door to BIKO about 4 years ago, in a neat and tidy townhouse where each roommate had an assigned parking spot. Even in college I was way to obsessively clean to enjoy living and cooking in a co-op, but I love the idea of huge communal dinners and laundry drying on clotheslines in the garden. If you're the kind of person who can live with a little messiness, BIKO would be an amazing place to live, much like Isla Vista...
I feel a sudden onset of food poisoning after reading this post. This kitchen needs some heavy duty cleaning.
its great to see kids cooking! take control over what they eat. good habits for the future.
Love it! I hope my kids are this creative and healthy when they go off to college!

Absolutely the best hummus recipe I have EVER made. I had to use stone ground mustard because I had no dijon (so I only used a little since it is stronger) but otherwise I followed the recipe exactly. It was the hit of my appetizer-ladened gathering and I will make it for years to come.

did anyone of you tryed to let more then two arduinos communicat, or did even one of you already developt a protocoll or library?
i was planing on using one arduino as a masterdevice for 3-11 slaves
futher more i was planing to have the communication on just one wirre for the signal and run on RS485 (using max485).
it would be nice if some of you could give some tips how to do it (asspecialy how to read bits and bytes)
so i don't have to start from scratch,
in genrall i just need very easy communication (just 0/1 request and checking for the right name of the slave etc.)
thanks a lot

A wellbore strengthening treatment initiative incorporating particulate or chemical-based lost-circulation material (LCM) and comprehensive pre-drill planning addresses the hazards associated with hole instability.
|In the wellbore strengthening concept, shallow fractures are opened and filled with LCM to prevent the fracture from closing again. (Images courtesy of M-I SWACO)
Historically, the loss of large volumes of whole drilling fluid to the formation — lost circulation — has been a root cause of wellbore stability problems and high mud costs.
Lost circulation has been attributed to a host of drilling hazards such as hole collapse, stuck pipe, and even blowouts. Losses can occur naturally in fractured formations or in those with high permeability and porosity, or they can be the result of induced pressure. The latter is of particular concern when drilling into depleted zones where reservoir production has reduced the pore pressure and fracture pressure.
Proper pre-drill planning should allow for the identification of risk zones, optimization of drilling practices, and the establishment of both preventive and remedial treatments. Here the term "preventive treatment" also refers to the philosophy of wellbore strengthening.
When a hole is drilled, it disturbs a pre-existing, uniformly distributed stress field in the rock. In response to this disequilibrium of the stress field, the rock attempts to close the hole by collapsing. It is this closure effect that gives rise to the elevated stresses in the vicinity of the hole — the "near-wellbore stress field" or the "hoop stress."
One type of wellbore strengthening involves increasing the near-wellbore stress further by opening a shallow fracture at the well bore and filling it with material that prevents the fracture from closing. This process places the rock in the near well bore under additional compression, thereby increasing the near wellbore stress and the mud weight required to initiate a new fracture. Various wellbore strengthening processes of this type are the same fundamentally but differ slightly in the way the LCM treatment is designed and implemented. Theoretically, the width of the fracture that is formed and plugged with LCM determines the increase in the fracture pressure.
Wellbore strengthening process
Strengthening the well bore can be effected either by using particulate-based or chemical-based LCM. Particulate-based solutions include large, granular, and tough materials such as sized marble and carbon-based products. Chemical-based solutions include some new experimental systems using resins and cross-linked polymers. M-I SWACO is developing and field- testing these for both non-aqueous and water-based fluid systems.
Particulate-based LCMs normally are used for permeable formations. The LCM is transported into the fracture via convection, and normal filtration generates a tight filter cake on the wellbore side of the LCM bridge. Fluid and excess pressure within the fracture behind the seal leak off into the formation. Here, the particle size distribution relative to the fracture and the uniformity of the LCM are important. Broad particle size distributions (PSD) containing a high percentage of extra-coarse LCM promote plugging and sealing near the mouth of the fracture. Alternatively, finer and more uniform blends promote filling and sealing of the interior of the fracture through high fluid loss and dehydration of the LCM. Both methods are used for lost circulation prevention and wellbore strengthening treatments, although the broad and coarse PSD approach is thought to generate greater wellbore stress enhancement.
In contrast to permeable formations, impermeable rocks do not permit leak-off, so there is significant risk that anything placed in the fracture will be pushed out again by the trapped fluid pressure as the fracture closes after treatment pressure is removed. Consequently, chemical-based treatments have been developed that set or cure in situ to form immobile, impermeable fracture plugs.
For particulate-based LCM, particle size distribution can be optimized to the fracture aperture by blending various products. M-I SWACO has developed two unique fracture-sealing testing devices for studying the sealing and wellbore strengthening properties of LCM formulations. These devices, which are housed in the Houston Technology Center, have been used to tailor LCM blends to specific drilling fluid and predicted wellbore conditions.
These devices have been at the heart of two large operator-supported projects focused on fracture sealing and wellbore strengthening. The first project, which focused on fracture sealing, was completed in 2006. The second project, focusing on wellbore strengthening, is ongoing. Through these customer-focused projects, the plugging and sealing behavior of a large number of materials in various drilling fluids has been evaluated, resulting in a better understanding of the interplay among LCM, fluid loss, and formation permeability.
Software package aids planning
Another aid to designing wellbore strengthening treatments is now available with the launch of a new proprietary software tool, Opti-Stress. This software is used to calculate the desired fracture size and matching LCM particle size distribution to achieve a desired wellbore strengthening effect from simple rock mechanical properties and borehole geometry. As with all wellbore stability modeling, there is significant uncertainty in the input values, and this carries through and influences the results. A unique feature to Opti-Stress is its ability to calculate the impact of the input uncertainties on the final LCM design. This allows for a much more robust design, which improves
the utility and success of the wellbore strengthening application.
Applying the process
Two main methods exist for applying wellbore strengthening: pills and continuous particle additions to the circulating drilling fluid. The former can be used for both chemical- and particulate-based products. The principal technique is called hesitation squeeze. The wellbore strengthening product is spotted over the interval to be treated, and the wellbore pressure is increased in steps to the desired level above fracture pressure — all the while monitoring fluid losses and pressure.
The alternative method is to continuously add LCM particles to the drilling fluid while drilling ahead with an equivalent circulation density (ECD) that exceeds the fracture pressure. In theory, fractures are formed continuously by excessive ECD and are immediately plugged by the circulating LCM. The logistics of such an operation are critical to its success. The main challenge is to maintain the required PSD and concentration in the drilling fluid. This means taking note of particle attrition and particle removal at the shaker screens. Currently, specially formulated LCM slurry blends are being field-tested. These blends can be matched to the shaker screens and also allow for variable concentrations of LCM to be added at any one time. The use of such slurries provides greater operational flexibility and reduces the logistics associated with sack-based products.
Among other recent developments is an approach that combines continuous particle additions for wellbore strengthening with the Managed Particle Size Recovery System, which maximizes re-use of the LCM and real-time, in-line monitoring of the PSD of the LCM in the drilling fluid to ensure success of the wellbore strengthening treatment.
Wellbore strengthening is rapidly becoming a mainstream operational practice for constructing stable well bores, particularly for expensive, high-risk drilling operations.
Wellbore strengthening has allowed holes previously thought to be "undrillable" to be drilled. In some wells, as many as five intervals have been drilled using wellbore strengthening techniques, resulting in stable well bores with minimal drilling fluid losses.

SPOKANE VALLEY, Wash.--A burglar held a Spokane Valley homeowner at gunpoint on October 20.
A deputy responded to the 4200 block of N. Progress Road on a burglary call. The deputy contacted the victim who said he saw a white Ford Taurus parked in front of his house. The homeowner said he thought the driver was using his cell phone and did not think much about it.
When the homeowner came back from the store his neighbor told him he thought the male and female people in the vehicle may have entered his house. The victim went inside his home and saw his wife's purse was missing.
The homeowner then drove around the block and found the Taurus he saw earlier in the night. He followed the car into a cul-d-sac until the male driver got out of his car and began walking towards the victim while pointing a gun at him.
The homeowner drove out of the cul-d-sac. He said the male was in his mid to late twenties, was white and had a tattoo of spikes on the left side of his neck.
The woman in the car was also white and in her mid to late twenties.
Crime Stoppers is offering a cash reward for anyone providing information leading to an arrest in this incident. Persons with information should call the Crime Stoppers Tip Line at 1-800-222-TIPS.

Emo for a few weeks, weak, time to get back on my feet. That's when my playlist goes from hip-hop to metal. Time to get angsty.
Just rip my heart out twice I guess. I'll be fine
The bread won't give me herpes, my nigga….
I have a girlfriend.
And she works at Olive Garden.
Soooo, POR QUE NO LOS DOS!?
(Source: fitzepic)
And she ate all my xanax too.
Well not all of it.
But enough to where I am out when I need it. Talk about bittersweet. No really lets discuss it. Cause right now, I'm only able to stay bitter and say "fuck it". I see no sweet sides other than that front you thought was so amazing. Impossible lies you wanted to be true, impossible time(s), we were never meant to be, but you…
See, the sweet sweltering waves of the Sea crash repeatedly in vain over the shore.
Determined to beat them down in some low-down-terrible-Terra-firma-form.
It's late and I'm fueled by pain and heartache and I can't even think straight girl.
I can't even blink, yo its an eyelash, its not what you think. It's not what I think. It's not about thought, that was the fatal mistake that was made on both of our parts.
I just wish I had winked, and let you walk on past, instead of getting attached and hooked on that ass. Because now there's this wound and it's open and festering. It opens up ever more and feeds on all of this ridiculous pestering. It's like every negative thought I can think of, starts to get away from me, idea's constantly meddling, this shit-show seems to be forever unraveling, with no healing in sight, give me some emergency-emotional-bandaging.
No more talking tonight, I can't even sit here
for real just fuck off already.
what the fuck was I thinking?
Riddled with regret, hurt, and pain. This fucking sucks.
Just rip my heart out of my chest already…
I'm deflated.
Air ripped from my lungs, I'm attempting to breath.
Painful gasps cause pauses between the tears
(while I wish they wouldn't)
I want to drown in these tears.
I want to scream because of these tears.
What I want isn't important, I mean…CAN YOU EVEN SEE THESE TEARS?
Super Blunt Sunday is officially TWO WEEKS AWAY.
Gear up while there's still time.
Get the shirt HERE. Get anything else you may need on your own damn time, we can't say how, where, or even what for legal reasons. Or reasons of taste, either one.

Valdosta - Police are looking for anyone with information on the death of a man.
Twenty-seven year old Daryl Hamilton was found dead in some woods off of Woodlawn Drive Wednesday. He had been missing since last week.
Hamilton was last seen getting into a maroon colored Geo Metro driven by a black male. "We don't think this man is a suspect, but we just want to find him and talk to him because we think he might have been one of the last people to see Mr. Hamilton alive," said Lt. Brian Childress.
Investigators are waiting on autopsy results to tell how Hamilton died. If you have any information on this case, call their tip line at 229-293-3091.
