Kid Icarus
A series based on the classic NES game, Kid Icarus!
The cartoon world of Edd Gould.
Rats on Cocaine
Possibly the most evil cartoon series on the planet.
A browser pet. Leave the window open and let it grow. Pet will start beeping if attention needed. Make sure to not let it go hungry.
dosnt even do anything T_T
I like play a game that make your moster grow

For those like me when the game isn't working. Same game different site. I liked it.
Word for the wise, holding the left mouse button is a huge cheat in the mazes, you may want to fix that some how.
There were other glitches too. My unhappy meter went as far as 500,000 or something before I just quit the game, Some items got stuck in my inventory even after I used them.
Has potential, but there is more to a pet than feeding it; the mini games were okay, and the leveling up was the highlight of even caring for the pet's existences, but why level up if each level is the same as the last? What's so special about being exp 100 or exp 0? The age just counts, and has no true meaning; if the pet leveled up/evolved, it would be at least a bit more fulfilling in wanting to care for this pet; there was no challenge in this game at all and no point to want to play it other than just to play it.

TEAMS: Portland Trail Blazers, Dallas Mavericks, Atlanta Hawks, Milwaukee Bucks
The Portland Trail Blazers will have a new head coach for the upcoming campaign, as "NBA.com" reported Tuesday night, that the club has chosen former Dallas Mavericks assistant Terry Stotts to take over the bench, terms of the deal have yet to be reported. The Blazers had narrowed their choices down to Stotts, or interim head coach Kaleb Canales, who became the bench boss of the club for the final 23 games of this past season, after Portland sacked head coach Nate McMillan. Canales, who ended up with a mark of 8-15, down the stretch for the team, did have the respect of his players, as well as their support for him to get the position, will remain with the team as an assistant on Stotts's staff next season. The "Oregonian" reported that the 34-year-old, who started with the Trail Blazers as a video intern, has accepted a slot as assistant. terms of that deal have also yet to be released. The two candidates met with Team Owner Paul Allen, in London last weekend and h...

If I Were an Avenger, I Might Be the Hulk.
Okay, probably not the Hulk. I'm not gigantic, I don't like ripped clothes at all, my skin is not green, and while I'm sure I have several emotional limitations, I certainly don't have "breath-taking anger management issues."
I'd like to think I'd have a really good super power, although I don't know what it would be. But like Thor has his hammer and Hawkeye has his bow, I feel sure that I would get to ride a unicorn.
I make that face (above) more than I'd like to admit.
Anyway, I went to see The Avengers this weekend, and a few times throughout the movie, I was thisclose to becoming Hulk-level angry at my fellow viewers.
Not to make you think that I'm more of a weirdo than you already do, but I tend to go see movies alone. Whatever, I want to see particular movies, and I really enjoy going, and the movies I like and the times I want to go don't usually coincide with the plans of the people I would be seeing movies with. I shouldn't not get to do something I like because I don't happen to have anyone with me. It's a dark theater anyway, why do I need a buddy? Also, movie theaters are generally wonderfully air conditioned, which is incentive enough as far as I'm concerned. I digress. What I'm getting at is that people are ridiculous and as a culture we have ADD and are far too plugged in.
It started out okay actually. I mean, once I got into the theater. At first I tried the door, but they yelled at me that we couldn't go in yet because they were still cleaning. Then they came out, and told us that we had to line up outside the door. So we line up, then they open the door and let in a bunch of other people that just arrived and didn't have to wait at all. Ridiculous, and completely unfair. Luckily it was still early enough and we weren't terribly behind. And for the most part I was just happy to be inside the actual theater. Outside in the waiting area was a couple that was kissing really loud and annoying-like. As in "smack smack" as obnoxious as possible. Getting into the theater meant getting away from the vomit-inducing PDA.
So I bee-line to the very top middle. It's the darkest and so much better than sitting in the front. I'm about to sit down and a older man and his daughter come up on either side of me. So I move out of the way and one seat over so that we are both still in the middle, but there's one empty seat between us. As far as I'm concerned, this is what normal people do. A socially accepted unspoken rule that reasonable humans follow. Apparently however, my moving over a seat sort of offended them. So, in an effort to be friendly, avoid offending perfectly nice people, and exorcise some of my knee-jerk antisocial behavior, I moved over a seat and sat next to Kenneth (that was his name. By the end of the movie we were totally friends). So okay, fine. The theater then starts to fill up, and a teenage couple came and sat next to me. Thank goodness, not the obnoxious couple from the lobby. But then they proceeded to alternate between making out, checking their phones (Facebook) and making stupid ass comments (Boy: I know that because I used to play with toys. Girl: OHMYGOD that is SO cute of you! Newsflash: Pretty much everyone used to play with toys. You're dumb.) However, trying to be a reasonable person, I didn't say anything, and just hoped that they would turn off their phones and calm down when the actual movie started. They didn't. Of course they didn't. So like 5 minutes into the movie, the boy was checking his phone for like the 30th time, I said, "Sorry, would you mind turning that off?" And he did. Whew, awesome.
Not 2 minutes later, he pulls it out again. But turns his whole body sideways so that it covers the light. At least he did that, but seriously? And then his girlfriend started using hers. He tried to sort of cover the light, which was thoughtful of him I guess, but really? I don't understand how they could not just shut off the phone. There were several other phones throughout the theater also that I saw being checked during the movie. In a totally dark theater, one little phone makes a huge impact. It's completely distracting and super annoying. By the end of the movie, the girl was lying on her back in the boys lap, texting. When the credits started to roll (everyone stayed of course, these Marvel movies especially always have something to see after the movie "ends" and then a little extra after the credits) started to stomp her feet on the ground like an actual tantrum-ing child. They were young, but not that young, minimum age 16. Stomping on the ground. OHMYGOD. I wanted to leave. Or grab those two and whip them around/smash them Hulk-style. Thank goodness for Kenneth, I didn't want to be rude.
I just do not understand this inability to sit still, and particularly not being able to switch off your phone for maximum 3 hours. It does not make sense. Is there some emergency that you need to check your phone every few minutes for? Then don't go to a movie that is guaranteed 2 hours where you should be unreachable. And people, you wanted to see this movie right? Are you all so made of money that $11 for the matinee means nothing? I spent that $11 or whatever to see the movie. If you want to be on your phone the entire time, stay home and save your money. You aren't paying attention to the film anyway. You just spent [your parents] hard earned money to annoy me. Me personally. Let me sit in peace and enjoy some super heros.
I'm feeling more and more overwhelmed by how connected everyone is in general. I love my phone as much as the next person, and I'm considering proposing to my laptop (we're in love), but come on, let's get back to a little bit of real life. I can't even search book recommendations online without being asked to sign in with my Facebook or Twitter or Pinterest account so that everyone on the planet can see what I'm thinking of reading next (note: the answer to what I'm reading next is not '50 Shades of Gray' just in case you wondered.) And guys? You realize sometimes that you are with actual other live humans right? If you'd rather be talking to whoever you're texting, go hang out with them, not the people you are ignoring in person. I find this whole thing pointless. Everyone has such attention deficit that they always want to be texting someone else, checking Facebook, blah blah blah. I'm over it. Let me do things in life without updating my status. It's okay to go to the grocery store with out "checking in." Let me freaking go to the movies without having an anxiety attack because I can't un-focus from the light of the idiot in the front row's flip-phone.
I went to the particular theater I went to because when they strapped me down in the school gym to take my blood the other day they gave me a free ticket. In the future, I will be going back to the remote and generally deserted theater on the hill on a weekday, no more of this busy weekend crap. And I need to get better at Photoshop. And all I really want to be doing, like, 93% of the time, is watching a super hero movie. (Thor is on right now.) And I need to see The Avengers again.
I'll leave you with some Thor. You're welcome.

Last month, Google launched Bid Simulator in AdWords. The idea behind the simulator is to calculate whether or not spending more or less would be more cost-effective.
Let's say you're paying $0.50 per click. The Bid Simulator can show how much more you would have to pay to get more clicks. It could be $1.00 per click to get 10 more clicks, but that might not be worth it to you if it lowers your overall revenues. This, however, generated some confusion as they thought that the Bid Simulator was actually a Bid Recommender, and that Google was trying to get people to bid higher for keywords.
Of course, we never saw comments complaining about Bid Simulator suggesting a lower CPC would produce a higher revenue.
Now, Google's Chief Economist Hal Varian has taken to the Google blogs and YouTube to spell out Bid Simulator for you in a new Tutorial. The overall idea is to know your value per click instead of just your cost per click. Check the tutorial out in all of its economic glory and then give your opinion of the vid below.

A probe fixture for making multiple high frequency connections to an electronic device under test. An application for the apparatus is in integrated circuit wafer testing fixtures requiring high frequency signals. Low frequency signals are attached by ribbon cables to a printed circuit board. High frequency signals use coaxial cables. A probe carrying ceramic substrate has microstrips for the high frequency signals. Low frequency signals are connected from the printed circuit board to the ceramic substrate by a conductive elastomer interconnect strip clamped between the printed circuit board and the substrate. Coaxial adapters passing through the printed circuit board have spring loaded center conductors to provide pressure contact between the coaxial cables and microstrip signal strips. In one embodiment, contact between coaxial cable shields and microstrip ground is through a conductive clamp to a substrate backplane. In an alternative embodiment, contact between a coaxial cable shield and the microstrip ground is provided by a flat spring connected to a barrel on the coaxial adapter connector body and in pressure contact with coplanar ground contacts on the substrate. In the alternative embodiment, a short ground path from the cable shield to the microstrip ground minimizes transmission line impedance discontinuity.
1. An apparatus for connecting a coaxial cable shield to a ground conductor on a dielectric substrate, the apparatus comprising:
adapter means for mechanically attaching a coaxial cable to a panel having a panel first side and a panel second side, the adapter means comprising a conductive adapter barrel and an adapter center conductor electrically isolated from the adapter barrel, wherein the adapter barrel passes through a hole in the panel, wherein the adapter barrel electrically connects to the coaxial cable shield and wherein the coaxial cable is mechanically attached to the adapter means on the panel first side;
a conductive ground spring having a planar portion with a ground spring hole and one or more spring tabs bent at an angle relative to the planar portion, wherein the adapter barrel passes through the ground spring hole;
mechanical fastener means for attaching the ground spring to the adapter barrel and the panel second side, wherein the mechanical fastener means attaches to the adapter barrel and presses the ground spring between the mechanical fastener means and the panel second side; and
wherein the ground spring tabs are spring loaded against the ground conductor on the dielectric substrate.
2. An apparatus as in claim 1 wherein the dielectric substrate has a top surface and a bottom surface, wherein the ground conductor is attached to the top surface, the apparatus further comprising a microstrip as follows:
a strip signal conductor attached to the top surface;
a conductive ground backplane attached to the bottom surface; and
a plurality of plated holes through the dielectric substrate, each plated hole electrically connecting the ground backplane to the ground conductor.
3. An apparatus as in claim 2 wherein the spring tabs project away from the ground spring hole.
4. An apparatus as in claim 2 wherein the spring tabs curl toward the ground spring hole.
5. An apparatus as in claim 1 wherein the dielectric substrate has a top surface, wherein the ground conductor is attached to the top surface, the apparatus further comprising a waveguide as follows:
a strip signal conductor attached to the top surface and coplanar with the ground conductor; and
wherein the ground conductor is separated from the strip signal conductor by a substantially uniform space, thereby forming a substantially uniform transmission line impedance between the strip signal conductor and the ground conductor.
6. An apparatus as in claim 5 wherein the spring tabs project away from the ground spring hole.
7. An apparatus as in claim 5 wherein the spring tabs curl toward the ground spring hole.
Application Ser. No. 07/968,695, filed Oct. 30, 1992, entitled Probe Fixture for Integrated Circuit Wafer Testing, by Daniel T. Hamling.
1. Field of Invention
This invention relates to high frequency electronic connectors and more particularly to connectors for adapting a coaxial cable to a high frequency microstrip or other non-coaxial transmission lines.
2. Background of the Invention
Many electronic testing applications require a fixture capable of providing multiple simultaneous connections for stimulus signals to a device under test and for connection of response signals to test instruments. Examples include integrated circuit wafer testing, hybrid testing, multichip module testing and printed circuit board testing. In particular, a wafer probe fixture needs interface circuitry close to the probes and perhaps hundreds of signal connections, all in a very confined space. As circuits increase in speed and complexity, the ability to test such circuits at operating speed becomes more difficult. Conventional needle probe wafer fixtures typically cannot be used for frequencies greater than 100 MHz. Probes designed for microwave frequencies (up to 50 GHz) are typically suitable only for low pad count devices. There is a need for probe fixtures providing hundreds of probes with a simultaneous mix of low frequency signals and high frequency signals with bandwidths up to a few Gigahertz.
For high frequencies (>100 MHz), the device under test or the fixture may incorporate transmission lines to minimize signal distortion and attenuation. A common non-coaxial transmission line for short distances within circuit modules is a microstrip. This is a strip conductor and an extended parallel conducting surface separated by a dielectric substrate. Alternative non-coaxial transmission lines include configurations in which a strip conductor is coplanar with extended parallel conducting surfaces (separated by air) and configurations in which a strip conductor is buried within a dielectric substrate having extended parallel conducting surfaces above and below the strip conductor (stripline).
For transmission over longer distances, a coaxial cable may be used. Connection between a coaxial cable and a microstrip is typically made by wire bonding a coaxial connector to pads on a substrate or by soldering a coaxial connector onto the edge of a substrate. Wire bonded or soldered connectors are not easily removable and removal may be destructive. Because of space constraints, edge mounted connectors may limit the number of high frequency connections which can be made. In addition, edge mounted connectors may require undesirable long signal paths. There is a need for temporary connections or easily removable connections for high frequency signals which do not require wire bonding or soldering to a microstrip. In addition, there is a need for high frequency signal connections to the interior of a substrate rather than just the edge. In particular, in integrated circuit wafer testing, there is a need for test fixtures providing numerous temporary connections for low frequency signals and simultaneously providing numerous temporary connections between external coax cables and microstrips which are within the test fixture.
A transition from microstrip to coax creates an unavoidable discontinuity in transmission line impedance which in turn causes signal distortion due to reflections. There is a need for a temporary or easily removable connection having a connection geometry which minimizes reflections. In particular, there is a need for a short path between the microstrip ground plane and the shield on the coax.
The present invention provides a temporary or easily removable ground contact for a connection between a coaxial connector and a microstrip. The present invention provides a short ground path from cable shield to microstrip ground which minimizes transmission line impedance discontinuity. Non-coaxial transmission lines such as microstrips are adapted to provide coplanar contacts for both signal and ground. Contact between the coplanar microstrip ground contact and the coaxial cable shield is provided by a flat spring tab connected to the barrel of a coaxial adapter connector.

FIG. 1 illustrates an integrated circuit wafer probe test fixture to illustrate an embodiment of the present invention. The test fixture has a thick film ceramic substrate 100 with miniature probes 102 for probing bonding pads on an integrated circuit on a wafer (not illustrated). The ceramic substrate 100 can support a maximum of 144 probes in the embodiment illustrated. In addition, custom thickfilm circuitry (not illustrated) such as trimmed resistors and bypass capacitors are provided close to the device under test. A printed circuit board 106 has ribbon cable connectors 108 for power supply and low frequency stimulus and response signals. Elastomer interconnect strip 110 connects traces on the bottom of the printed circuit board 106 to traces on the top of the ceramic substrate 100. The elastomer interconnect strip 110 is clamped between the ceramic substrate 100 and the printed circuit board 106 by a stiffener bar 112 (one of four), clamp 114 (one of four), screw 116 (one of 20) and a small threaded insert 118 (one of 20).
The elastomer interconnect strip 110 is commercially available material which provides electrical conduction in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the strip but not along the plane of the strip. For example, the strip may be constructed of silicone rubber with short embedded wires in the vertical direction. A suitable material is "type GD inter-connector" available commercially from Shin-Etsu Polymer America, Inc., 34135 7th Street, Union City, Calif. 94587.
FIG. 1 also illustrates a larger threaded insert 120 (one of 28) which can accept the threaded body of a coaxial adapter (not illustrated in FIG. 1). Coaxial adapters are used for high frequency signals which need to make contact to microstrips on the ceramic substrate 100.
In the test fixture illustrated in FIG. 1, the ceramic substrate 100 is uniquely matched to a specific integrated circuit with a specific mix of low and high frequency signals and a specific pattern of bonding pads. The printed circuit board 106 is designed to be generic for all integrated circuits but can be customized for special requirements.
FIG. 2 illustrates a cross section of a portion of the fixture of FIG. 1. In FIG. 2 as in FIG. 1, an elastomer interconnect strip 110 connects traces on the bottom of the printed circuit board 106 to traces on the top of the ceramic substrate 100. The elastomer interconnect strip 110 is clamped between the ceramic substrate 100 and the printed circuit board 106 by a stiffener bar 112 (one of four), clamp 114 (one of four), screw 116 (one of 20) and a small threaded insert 118 (one of 20). A larger threaded insert 120 (one of 28) accepts the threaded body of a coaxial adapter 200 (one of 28). Adapter 200 has a spring-loaded center conductor pin 202 which makes contact with a high frequency microstrip signal trace on the top surface of ceramic substrate 100. Also illustrated in FIG. 2 is a coaxial cable connector 204 attached to a coaxial cable 206. In a specific wafer test fixture application, the coaxial cable connector 204 is a sub-miniature series A (SMA) male connector.
FIG. 3 illustrates a cross section of the spring loaded center pin 202 illustrated in FIG. 2. A metal body 300 supports the center pin 202 which contacts a conductive ball 302, a spring 304 and a set screw 306. A slit 308 through one end of the body 300 provides a flexible (expandable) contact for the center pin of a mating coaxial connector such as connector 204 in FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 illustrates the assembled coaxial adapter. The center pin body 300 is pressed into a teflon sleeve 402 and the assembled combination of center pin and sleeve is pressed into the body 400 of the adapter.
Returning to FIG. 2, the coaxial cable 206 has a shield 208 which connects to a threaded shell on the coaxial connector 204 which in turn is threaded onto adapter 200 and ultimately makes electrical contact with a ground conductor area 212 on the ceramic substrate 100. In the configuration illustrated in FIG. 2, the ground path for the body of adapter 200 is through the large threaded insert 120, through a ground plane 210 in the PC board to the small threaded insert 118, to the conductive (beryllium copper) clamp 114, to a conductive backplane 212 on the bottom of the ceramic substrate 100. This circuitous ground path limits the low distortion frequency range of the connection to about 3.2 GHz because of the discontinuity in transmission line impedance.
FIG. 5 illustrates an apparatus providing an improved ground path. In FIG. 5, a ground pad 500 (one of 28) is provided on the top surface of ceramic substrate 100 by a plated through hole 502 (one of 56 or more) connecting to a back side ground plane 212. A grounding spring 504 (one of 28) is clamped between the bottom surface of the printed circuit board 106 and a threaded nut 508. The grounding spring 504 connects the barrel of the adapter 200 to the ground pad 500. As illustrated in FIG. 5, the grounding spring does not depend on a ground plane in the printed circuit board 106 or traces on the printed circuit board 106. Therefore, with grounding springs, a circuit board is not necessary for coaxial connections. A panel for mechanical support is the only requirement.
The ceramic substrate 100 with plated through holes 502 as illustrated in FIG. 5 assumes that transmission lines on the ceramic substrate have a ground plane on the bottom side of the ceramic substrate. The holes may be plated or they may be filled solid with a good electrical conductor (for example gold with glass filler). In alternative embodiments, a waveguide may have a signal strip with coplanar ground strips (see FIG. 8C). In a coplanar waveguide configuration, the plated through holes are not needed.
FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the ground spring 504 illustrated in FIG. 5. The ground spring 504 may be any conductive material with sufficient elasticity to enable a pressure contact. For applications as illustrated in FIG. 1, beryllium copper is suitable.
FIG. 7 is a top view of a substrate illustrating traces for use with the grounding apparatus of FIG. 5. There is a contact area 700 for the spring loaded center conductor of the coaxial adapter. There is an additional larger contact area 702 for the ground spring. There are multiple plated through holes 502 near the ground spring contact area 702 for a low impedance path to a backplane on the back of the ceramic substrate.
FIG. 6 illustrates a ground spring with a single outward tab. FIG. 8A illustrates one alternative shape. The spring 800 in FIG. 8A has a contact tab 802 curling under the body of the coaxial adapter so that the ground contact is directly in line with the shield. In addition, multiple tabs may be used as illustrated by ground spring 804 in FIG. 8B. Multiple tabs are particularly appropriate for a coplanar waveguide as illustrated in FIG. 8C. In FIG. 8C, a signal strip 806 is surrounded by a coplanar ground area 808. A three tabbed grounding spring 810 contacts the ground area 808 in three places.
FIGS. 9A and 9B illustrate application of the present invention in alternative configurations for non-coaxial transmission lines. FIG. 9A illustrates a substrate in which the top side (connection side) is primarily ground plane 900 with a signal trace 902 on the bottom. In this configuration, the signal trace 902 is connected through the substrate by a plated through hole 904 to a conductive pad 906 for contact with the center conductor of the adapter connector (FIG. 2, 202). FIG. 9B illustrates a multilayer ceramic substrate in which both sides are primarily ground plane 908 and a signal trace 910 is buried within the ceramic. As in FIG. 9A, the signal trace 910 in FIG. 9B is connected through the substrate by a plated through hole 912 to a conductive pad 914 for contact with the center conductor of the adapter connector (FIG. 2, 202). For configurations as illustrated in FIGS. 9A and 9B, the ground spring configuration may have multiple tabs as illustrated by spring 810 in FIG. 8C.
The description above of the present invention has been presented for purposes of illustration and description. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise form disclosed, and other modifications and variations may be possible in light of the above teachings. The embodiment was chosen and described in order to best explain the principles of the invention and its practical application to thereby enable others skilled in the art to best utilize the invention in various embodiments and various modifications as are suited to the particular use contemplated.

The Keystone XL Pipeline - Who benefits? Who doesn't?
Erin is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The TransCanada (NYSE: TRP) Keystone XL pipeline project is a proposed 1,700-mile pipeline that would transport 830,000 barrels of oil from one of the largest oil reserves in the world in Alberta to the one of the world's largest refining center in the Gulf Coast.
On Thursday the US Senate narrowly defeated an amendment that would have allowed the project to move forward. President Obama has personally taken action to stop the progression of the pipeline due to environmental concerns. The measure, which received 56 votes in favor, failed because Senate rules require 60 votes to include the amendment. Sen. John Hoeven (R., N.D.), whose state stands to benefit greatly from the pipeline, is at the helm of the cause for Republicans, and has vowed to keep the issue alive.
In January, Congress attempted and failed to attach the pipeline to a payroll tax bill. Instead an assessment was requested by the State Department (and President Obama) for alternate pipeline routes that avoid the Sandhills of Nebraska. The Sandhills are nearly 20,000 square miles of unbroken prairie with hundreds of transient lakes, with a very high water table running through it (Ogallala Aquifer). The potential for oil leaks along the pipeline into the water table have raised environmental concerns by the Obama Administration.
TransCanada has agreed to reroute the pipeline likely farther east, nearer an existing Keystone pipeline that already carries Canadian tar sands oil into the US. The company expects to announce the path of the reroute when they apply for a new permit in the fall.
In the meantime, TransCanada is focused on starting construction on the portion of the pipeline that goes from Cushing, Oklahoma, to the Gulf Coast refining center in an effort to relieve the bottleneck in a take away capacity. Once construction starts TransCanada estimates that this section will take one construction season to complete.
The media has played a key role in the process, which has relayed misconceptions and emotionally charged arguments held by extremists to a somewhat misguided public. Proponents of the pipeline are concerned that environmental advocates have led the public to believe that building the pipeline would stop the development of other sources of energy.
"Some people believe that if the Keystone XL is stopped that production in the oil sands stops, and that's the furthest from the truth," said Alex Pourbaix, TransCanada's President of Energy and Oil Pipelines. "Once people understand that it's not a choice between oil sands oil and solar, but that it's about where they get their oil from, the conversation changes."
Many feel that the Keystone XL pipeline is not an environmental or energy issue, as much as it is a political and foreign relations issue. The United States has received the bulk of their oil from Saudi Arabia, Canada, Mexico, Venezuela and Nigeria for the past decade. According to Martin Durbin, Executive Vice President of the American Petroleum Institute, most Americans believe their oil comes from the Middle East, and fail to realize that most US consumed oil comes from Canada.
Who would benefit from the pipeline?
Ultimately it is Canada and TransCanada that stands to gain the most from the pipeline with jobs, money, and the ability to move out crude oil that cannot be refined in country. Glen Schmidt, President and CEO of Canadian-based Laricina Energy, said, "The last thing Canadians want is to build multi-billion dollar upgraders facilities in Alberta when the capacity is already in the Gulf Coast. "
"Their [Gulf Coast] upgraders are already well-suited for Canadian crude," said Pourbaix.
Canadian oil is a very heavy crude that can be processed in the US Gulf Coast refinery centers. Because the cost of production is higher for this heavy crude oil it is sold at a discount in order to be cost-effective. It is priced at an average discount to Brent crude of about $23.50/barrel in 2011. Moving the oil from Canada to the Gulf Coast will not lower the cost of the oil or of the refining process. The benefit to American companies, and eventually the American consumer, is that Canadian oil prices are more stable than prices out of the Middle East. Oil from the Middle East fluctuates with each conflict or political disruption. The stability and static price of Canadian oil would reduce the peaks and valleys to refineries, as well as at the gas pump for consumers.
Midwest American refineries, such as Marathon and HollyFrontier will see the cost of refining go up, as will other Canadian producers such as ExxonMobil Corp. (NYSE: XOM), Suncor Energy Inc. (NYSE: SU), and Cenovus Energy Inc. (NYSE: CVE). However, the arguments for keeping the oil in North America, including the reduced cost of the transportation, the stable oil prices, and the national security benefits of not depending on the Middle East for oil, outweigh the increased cost to the industry.
With oil imports at roughly half of domestic consumption and a continued rise in demand, even with biomass and other renewables, analysts predict 57% of our energy will still come from oil and natural gas by 2035. "It's not a matter of if we'll need it, it's just about where we'll get it. We need to increase the amount of oil we receive from Canada instead of other nations. That will be the benefit," said Durbin.
The Gulf Coast imports around 5 million barrels/day. The Keystone XL pipeline (along with other pipelines incorporated in the process) would transport less than 1.5 million barrels/day.
A previous source of oil for the US was Venezuela, but as demand for oil has increased in China, Venezuela, has diverted its oil resources to China in exchange for loan-funding. This diversion [away from other countries] along with declining production and rising demand in Mexico has led to decreased imports for the United States.
Currently, oil is imported from Canada via truck and rail, expending carbon emissions, the exact thing environmentalists are arguing against in the oil sands. In terms of worldwide carbon emissions, Canada's output currently ranks at five percent of the world's total carbon output, of which .02 % is from oil production.
Advocates for the pipeline, including key Republicans such as presidential nominee candidates Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich, believe the Keystone XL pipeline will bring approximately 20,000 new jobs in construction and energy to the workforce, and $7 billion into the economy. This was disputed in a study conducted by the Cornell ILR Global Labor Institute, which found that the pipeline would only create 2,500-4,600 temporary jobs, and $3-4 billion into the economy. According to TransCanada, after the construction of the pipeline is finished, it would only require up to a few hundred people to maintain and operate it.
Senator Ron Wyden, (D- Oregon), has proposed that if the pipeline were to be built that the materials used in the construction be American-made whenever possible.

Great outdoor area
Outside area was very nice, but a distance from the house. There is no dishwasher, but having a washer and dryer was a great bonus. Could use some updates inside. Futon, which was used as a seating area for the TV, was not very comfortable to sit on. Very attentive owners who were quick to rectify a water issue.

Climate change and food
A study led by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology suggests that climate change may pose an even greater threat to the global food supply than previously thought. That's because higher temperatures will also increase air pollution. A significant increase in the production of ozone, a toxic gas, could prove deadly for many important crops.
More efficient solar panels
The most important metric for solar panels is the cost of generating a given amount of power. As this number drops, the case for using solar power becomes increasingly compelling.
Environmental drones
A mention of drones most likely brings to mind military operations or, more recently, their potential future as delivery carriers for companies like Amazon.

Sigma Beauty – Free Gift – September/October 2012
Hello Everyone!
There is now a NEW FREE GIFT for October!, the wonderful MINI E25 Blending Brush!! I have this brush and absolutely LOVE it! It works MUCH better than my MAC blending brush!
The computer can't tell you the emotional story. It can give you the exact mathematical design, but what's missing is the eyebrows. – Frank Zappa
It's that time, Sigma just announced their new FREE GIFT with purchase starting September 18, 2012 up until October 31, 2012. **Sub-total must be over $30 at the time of checkout to receive free gift. (Don't forget to use code RSR2013for 10% off your ORDER)
The free gift is a sample from the new Beauty Expert – Brow Design Kit! Here is what Sigma has to say about it:
The brow powder shade Scarlett is incredibly versatile and works with any hair color. The gift is a great introduction to our full Brow Design Kit and a great opportunity to try out our latest product!
Sigma also offers this informative video tutorial on how to properly apply the Scarlett brow powder. Check it out:
I think eyebrows make or break a face, I have had my share of over-tweezing and rainbow shaped arches over the years! However, I have begun to really care and show my brows lots of love, in fact I'm growing them out, it takes discipline (and a lot of weird stares from everyone) but I'm doing it! My only way to remain someone decent is to use a brow powder. The universal colours are my favorite, I am currently using Vasanti's Cape Town Brow Powder so I am really curious to see how this Sigma one stands against my current fav!
I have grown to really love this brush brand, but most recently feel in love with their Paris Palette so I have a new love for their 'Makeup" products! They are going to be releasing a great selection of new products in the near future and I'm really excited to try them!
Have any question? Let me know!

The Post EOWN Removed. Here It Is Again.
No, EOWN.....no. Let the comments stand. Let them be read and noted. I have taken nothing out. I have not added anything in.
The last comments after Joe2 could not be saved because this was the way the page was standing. I unwittingly did not update, thereafter.
So Let It Be. I thought long and hard about putting this back up. If QRS wants to remove it, it is her call.
One man fired angry comments at the ponytailed Isaacs.
"Hearing stuff about feces made me sick and the defendant looks like my ex-business partner who did some of these things. He looks guilty as sin to me," said the man. "It turns my stomach thinking about it."
The sexually explicit material on Kozinski's site earlier this week was extensive, including images of masturbation, public sex and contortionist sex. There was a slide show striptease featuring a transsexual, and a folder that contained a series of photos of women's crotches as seen through snug fitting clothing or underwear. There were also themes of defecation and urination, though they are not presented in a sexual context.
Kozinski, who was named chief judge of the 9th Circuit last year, is considered a judicial conservative on most issues. He was appointed to the federal bench by then-President Ronald Reagan in 1985. He has a national reputation for a brilliant legal mind and has developed a reputation as a champion of the First Amendment right to freedom of speech and expression. Several years ago, for example, after learning that appeals court administrators had placed filters on computers that denied access to pornography and other materials, Kozinski led a successful effort to have the filters removed.
How interesting that he was allowed to preside over this case, when he's biased. I'm not so sure that he's a pervert of anything but justice, because his fellow talmudi.. isaacs committed crimes against children, did he not?
(Read esp. pp. 1301-02, but the whole thing is worth a read if you can bill it to a client.)
AZ to EOWN
Don't worry about morons such as CoZ.
They're insects that crave attention, even if it's negative attention.
Coz, STFU stick-twat
Your dick is just a protruding, external cunt, so piss off. Go fold your uncut stick-pussy sheath and have Latin lick off the smegma underneath. Oy vey! That's Shalom Bernanke style. Clearly you like stick-pussy and ass. Tee hee hee. So go get some, mein Jude.
Go stick it in a Jew's fanny why don't ya? That's where you belong you little crotch.

I hadn't seen any of this. The last I saw of this thread was my own comment.
All I have to say is that I don't believe for one second that Rhiannon sent any "vile emails", and thanks Nobo for your comment.
Thanks for reconstituting the post, Rhiannon.

You're fantastic ..
.. and warm hearted person, Rhiannon. I do remember reading the article where EOWN confessed her "thing" for Hitler. I knew from that point on something isn't right about her. Even though I am nowhere near being a researcher But I can see clearly who are really f**ked by Hitler's actions. No, I am not talking about the chosen ones but his real victims are the Germans & specially the Palestinians. I have seen enough evidence/facts of his origin already - such a shocker! LOL
Please cheer up ... don't let the sourballs dampen your wonderful spirit! :)

'You win'?
In the long run you win, abdul. You are the winner, and you always were. Not being sarcastic.
How, by lying about 'vile emails' and threatening to publish them? I disagree with QRSwave: it was clearly a threat. Making a threat and then capping it off by claiming that it isn't a threat does not mitigate or negate its authenticity.
Did you send 'vile emails' or not? If you didn't as you claim, then AZ is lying. How does that make him a "winner"?
I'm sick of this Abdul Alhazred worship. He's a fine blogger and an intelligent guy, but he's arrogant, conceited, passive-aggressive and disingenous. I'm not trying to reignite the conflict - I agree with Chris Marlowe, and I think his comment was the finest and wisest post in that thread - but I'm not gonna sit by without protest as you concede defeat in the face of that kind of bullshit, Rhiannon. Reconcilation is possible without kissing AZ's arse.

First EOWN asked "Was Harry Truman a Nazi?" and now this
Not sure who removed the posts, because both are memory-holed.
However, I'm tired of EOWN's attitude that border on trolling in flame-bait. Asking whether Harry Truman was a Nazi for condemning presumedly "Power Jews" as selfish and ungrateful in a private diary is flat out ridiculous.
Truman was not a perfect man -- he was partly responsible for the support in the creation of Frankenstein monster called State of Israel -- but it's considered libel to accuse Truman of being a secret Nazi sympathizer. After all, the express purpose of the Allies' strategy was to defeat Axis Fascism to stop it from taking over the world, gross hypocrisy claiming "freedom, liberty and justice" and barbarity in deliberately ignoring basic human rights committed by the Allied forces (destruction of Dresden, German POW massacres, firebombing and nuking Japanese cities, pro-Western post-WWII dictatorships in Europe/ME/Iran, etc) notwithstanding.
What EOWN have done might tarnish WUFYS with sensationalistic headlines ("Truman = Nazi" as an example) that devolve to arguments using obscene and vulgar expressions in the comment sections.
It's like the repeat episode of WUFYS contributors' obsession with the posts featuring I Am the Witness/The French Connection web site author Daryl Bradford Smith in endless back-and-forth comments, always opinionated that often turn nastily vulgar, that detracts from the original purpose of WUFYS to research, formulate and discuss the topics in pursuit of the truth.
In order to return to this rightful purpose and stop the charade, EOWN's banishment from WUFYS (temporary or permanent) be considered for the emotions to simmer the debate and close the bullshit.
I support free speech but this does not mean that WUFYS is open to abuse by users who use highly offensive and putrid vulgar expressions to insult one another (body part references, etc).
I restrain from openly calling for the assassination of certain parties in the posts because I know that's calling for trouble. I try not to cross the line of free political expression in open call for extreme measures as an "extremist" American patriot (unlike, say, Hal Turner's "political assassination" manifesto, which is no longer found on his web site due to a hacking incident that deleted most of the web documents) that would undermine WUFYS by embarrassment or something.
Suspension of EOWN's account is up to Sullivan/Qrswave's discretion, depending on how the severity of misusing WUFYS by a particular user for "racist (promotion of white supremacism and nazism, declaring another race to be utterly inferior worthy of extreme prejudice and total extermination, etc), hateful and defamatory views" is perceived.
Admittedly, my controversial post (my convoluted style of sentence structure notwithstanding) "Eulogy before the Inevitability of Self-Destruction: The Decline and Death of Israel" might be considered "hateful" literature based on tone, word choice and structure as DKos, reddit, etc accuse me of promoting hate just by writing a sensationalistic post some consider "spiritually and physically sickening" to read.
But "hateful and defamatory" apply to the personal vulgar insults that do not make for a meaningful contribution in the forum whatsoever.

Suspension of EOWN's account is not up to me. I may be an admin, but I act as an admin within the general guidelines and ethos of the site. Ultimately, the site is QRSWave's and what she says goes. I respect her wish for the site to remain as open as possible, although personally I find this whole escapade to be extremely damaging to the site, its community of users, its reputation and its usefulness to those who are starting to wake up.

No one's getting banned
at least not over this.
Thanks for reposting the comments - I couldn't care less about the post as it's probably available elsewhere on the web. But, it's fine that you included it. It became public property once EOWN published it, so she can't complain.
To be clear, every one at this site has contributed valuable posts and comments at one point or another -- including EOWN -- notwithstanding the BS. I ask only that you don't waste everyone's time and that you pick and choose your words (and your fights) judiciously.
There is a war going on out here for hearts and minds, and our only ammunition is our brains and our time - don't squander it.

"Why Are We Fighting?"
The enemy is not within WUFYS, but without.
The Zionists are steadily eating us alive and instead of banding together and fighting that evil, we're fighting one another on WUFYS.
Isn't that the Zionist "Divide and Conquer" strategy?
Sure seems to be working well.
We should be thankful for having WUFYS and giving thanks to QRS Wave for having the wherewithal to finance this site and having the courage to stand behind this site, since I imagine QRS is on more than a few lists of "people to do" for her bravery in getting the truth out.

Greg is right
If they can get us fighting among ourselves, they have accomplished their goal at minimal expense.
I know I'm no one to throw stones as I've been in a few ructions here myself, but we can conduct ourselves civilly and without resorting to gutter language.

COVERT, MI (WHTC) - Some flaws in more than a dozen control rod drive mechanism housings were found at the Palisades Nuclear Power Plant during a scheduled shutdown for refueling and maintenance earlier this month. The report by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission said that no leak of radioactive material was noted as a result of the flaws, and that the issue had no adverse effects on the safety of the public or of plant employees. Officials of plant owner Entergy say that the flawed housings, as well as some of the intact housings, will be replaced by those of a different design and material. The plant will remain off line until the repairs are complete.

Cincinnati, OH (SportsNetwork.com) - The Cincinnati Bengals promoted Hue Jackson to offensive coordinator on Thursday.
Jackson will replace Jay Gruden, who accepted the head coaching job with the Washington Redskins earlier on Thursday.
"It's an honor to be Bengals offensive coordinator, and to keep working with Marvin (Lewis) and Mike Brown and the Brown family," Jackson said. "I thank them all for this opportunity. Our goal is to be the best, to be the one team hoisting that trophy when it's all over, and that's what I'll be working for every day."
Jackson, who is in his second stint with the Bengals, served as the team's running backs coach in 2013. The 48-year-old was Cincinnati's wide receivers coach from 2008-2009 before becoming the offensive coordinator for the Oakland Raiders in 2010.
In 2011, Jackson was promoted to head coach for Oakland and led the team to a 7-4 start before closing the campaign with four losses of the Raiders' final five games leading to Jackson's dismissal.

Hey everyone! It's me, your friendly neighborhood Spider-man. I just found out about this new social website called Chatroulette. For those of you who have been living under a rock, Chatroulette is a site that places you in a webchat with a random partner. However, I found out that 85% of the time, that random partner is part of the male anatomy. Gross, right?
Anyway, I'm out to change that, one chat at a time. I figure people should have fun on this thing, right? So keep a look out for your favorite web head on the interwebz (pun intended), and maybe we can chat it up.
Don't forget to follow me on Twitter to see when I'm on!

Good luck on getting your homeowners to pay - what is your deductible. What is your limit on you car ins. It better be big it is nothing to run up a 100,000.00 bill at a hospital. In florida at HCA hospitals if you get taken to a "Trauma" center for being in an accident it is 30,000.00 the moment you come thru the door and that doesn't even cover any care.

Why is it a bad thing. My kids would have no insurance if they couldn't have been on my insurance for the last 5 yrs.

Re:Simple (229 comments)
I have found it is a very good exercise to let the programmers tell me how long it is going to take to get the job done. We do it in a group setting with all the peers involved. The programmers don't want to look bad among their peers so they usually set realistic dates and work hard to meet them. Each week we review progress in a group setting. This seems to work very well.

What religion other than your own do you think is interesting?
who is the true religion?
James Zhang 30+
John Smith 30+
Sep 17 2012: I've been watching Muslim fundamentalists, lately, they fascinate me.
I find Jehovah Witnesses endearing.
And, of course, I love American Creationists, when they have a funny Southern accent.
Religions are ruining spirituality and the geopolitical world, but there's something innocent about them. Like a child smashing his toys with a hammer. You want him to grow up, and you certainly feel like you should ground him, and yet you know that it's typicall two-year-old behaviour. So you just end up saying "Youth tolerance is one of the principles of our household. However, for the well-being of every one living in it as well as safety reasons, we like to discourage the destruction of toys."
Sep 17 2012: I find Buddhism interesting.
True religion: There is none, and those furthest from what I know of as truth are Christianity, Islam, & Judaism. They have also gone the furthest from their roots.
My quasi religion is the early form of Christianity - consistent with the teachings of Jesus rather than the teachings of Paul. It's not really a religion though. I don't worship any god. Jesus and I would be more similar to atheists, though we recognize all and each as gods.

congrats on the 1k!
As far as Ipad created comics-- I think we're a way off there. I think they just announced Photoshop Express for the Ipad-- So, you've got professional software that's capable of doing it-- but, I'm guessing the pressure sensitivity of the Ipad's screen has nothing on a Cintiq.
If you're talking about a professional standard comic book-- yeah, not yet.
For a fun webcomic or something of the sort--I'd imagine it's do-able now.
That said, to go through every stage of production on an Ipad seems like it would be a huge waste of time...
Hell, just writing the script-- I'd hate to do that on a touchscreen.
