Intergraph® supports the design, building, handover, commissioning, operating, and maintaining of large plants involved in producing or processing oil and gas natural resources, including offshore platform structure construction. Oil and gas refinery owners can eliminate unplanned plant shutdown to avoid the tremendous costs of labor and lost production. Plus they can comply with federal regulations in order to keep their plant operating. Both designers and owners can enjoy better decision support capabilities to facilitate global design, life cycle optimization, and refinery production.
At every step of the way
- 3D Modeling & Visualization
- Analysis
- Engineering & Schematics
- Information Management
- Procurement, Fabrication & Construction
There is a relentless global push to expand plants needed to process oil and gas. This places even greater demands on the design and construction of larger, more complex oil and gas plants worldwide. The importance of bringing new refineries and gas processing plants online more quickly is a major challenge to both plant owners and engineering companies, necessitating continued reductions in project schedules while extending the level of design integrity, innovation, and design quality. As the leading supplier of 3D plant design solutions to the oil and gas industry for more than 25 years, Intergraph's latest 3D modeling and visualization applications continue to support all key aspects of project execution for the oil and gas industry, from conceptual plant design, through detailed design and construction, into plant operations and maintenance. Some of the world's leading EPC companies involved in the design and construction of oil and gas facilities, such as Fluor, Bechtel, and Foster Wheeler, have used Intergraph plant design software for major oil and gas plant installations over the past two decades.
Our analysis solutions help petrochemical companies and other oil and gas processors, transporters, and deliverers diminish risk by using the latest global design codes and standards to help prevent substandard design, regulatory violations, and costly and potentially dangerous system failures in plants and piping systems that operate under extreme pressures, temperatures, and conditions. For example, Intergraph CAESAR II®, the world's most widely used software for automating pipe stress analysis and design, includes the latest global codes and standards and has been proven in the most complex, challenging applications and conditions where reliability of results is critical. Intergraph PV Elite® automates the analysis and design of vessels and exchangers to ensure reliable design while improving engineering design efficiencies. Intergraph TANK™ automates the analysis and design of tanks for storing oil and other petroleum products associated with these facilities.
Intergraph has been the market leader in the oil and gas industry for years. SmartPlant Engineering & Schematics has a proven track record and makes the perfect fit to execute projects faster, better, and cheaper. Plus, it offers data for the operational phase to lower the risk of running the facility.
SmartPlant® Engineering & Schematics offers a solution to quickly create the plant configuration from scratch or in as many cases as possible from existing designs or licensors. The solution is rule-based and relationship-driven to promote design consistency through the complete design process. Of course, integration is a key element in passing the data in a controlled manner between the engineering tasks, such as instrument and electrical design as well as physical 3D modeling. As in many cases, hazardous materials make the point that process safety is key. SmartPlant Process Safety can design safety into the plant as part of the design process. These designs have several iterations. These are perfectly normal. The key is to manage the changes, and SmartPlant Engineering & Schematics offers that capability.
Safety, integrity management, regulatory compliance, time to market, operational uptime – all of these are factors for which the oil and gas market depends on quality information. Intergraph's Information Management solutions offer the longest track record in the industry for delivering integrated engineering information throughout an asset's life cycle.
For a typical new oil or gas facility, 10 to 15 percent of the total cost is for engineering design and 50 to 60 percent of the costs are related to material. It is obvious that surplus materials caused by ineffective materials management, even to levels of only five percent, can result in the loss of millions of dollars on an average capital project. Without continuous management and project performance, it is difficult to take the appropriate corrective action to prevent schedule delays. These delays can often be even more costly when they affect the oil and gas facility owner's ability to produce and sell the product. Effectively managing these complicated business processes in an integrated environment throughout all phases of the project life cycle is vital.

Q & A Library
A Placebo Pill to Comfort Kids?
What do you think about this placebo pill for kids? You're supposed to give it to them instead of real medicine.
Answer (Published 12/1/2008)
The pill you're referring was devised by a Maryland mother when she realized that you can't buy placebos or sugar pills at the drug store. Her thinking, according to an article in The New York Times, was that a placebo could calm kids down by fooling them into thinking that they had been given medicine for minor ailments and injuries that upset them. The chewable tablet is being sold as a dietary supplement because it has no active ingredients and thus doesn't have to pass FDA muster as a drug.

I think this is a terrible idea. First of all, I'm concerned that giving kids pills (placebo or not) for every real or imagined complaint will teach them that medication is the only effective solution for physical ills. In addition, if you give a child a placebo when he or she is really sick, you're just delaying proper treatment.
Secondly, I object to a pill being labeled as a "dietary supplement" when it has no dietary ingredients. Research suggests that placebos can work about one-third of the time when patients don't know that they're taking dummy pills and expect to feel better because they've been given what they think is medication. That leaves two-thirds of the time that sham pills don't work - and as physicians commenting on the introduction of the placebo for kids noted in the Times article, there's no way to predict who will respond and who won't.
Most of the time placebos are used in the context of scientific studies when neither patients nor doctors know who is getting the fake pill and who is getting the real drug. When parents give placebos to their kids, they know that the "treatment" is essentially a sugar pill.
Little kids love Band-Aids for boo-boos, but that's something they outgrow pretty quickly. Crying kids can be hard to handle, but when you know that nothing serious is wrong, parental hugs are pretty powerful and reassuring medicine.

CURE is pleased to announce an exciting new partnership with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Medical Research Fellows Program. CURE will provide financial support for up to three medical students each year to conduct mentored research on epilepsy.
The goal of HHMI's Medical Research Fellows Program is to increase the number of future physician-scientists and medically-trained researchers by immersing medical, dental, and veterinary students in full-time research early in their professional education. This is done before students make plans for their residency or postgraduate training so that they can consider a career as a physician-scientist, dentist- or veterinarian-scientist. The Fellows gain research training by engaging in basic, translational or applied biomedical research for a full year at academic or nonprofit institutions.
Each year the program attracts about 250 high-achieving medical, dental, and veterinary student applicants. The rigorous application process requires selection of a mentor, preparation of a brief research proposal and delineation of a training plan. This year HHMI and its partner organizations will fund as many as 82 fellows with CURE funding up to three of the fellowship recipients. Awardees receive a stipend and allowances to cover expenses related to their participation in the program. Each year the competition opens in August with an application deadline in early January.
In addition to their other activities HHMI-CURE Medical Fellows will be involved with the CURE network, attend a conference, present their research findings, and meet potential mentors in the field.
We are excited about this opportunity to help identify and develop the next generation of physician-scientists in the field of epilepsy research.
For further information on the program, visit: www.hhmi.org/medfellowships or e-mail email@example.com.

Cynthia Waisman Immigration Attorney
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I endorse this lawyer. I have been practicing criminal law for almost 20 years. I have done a lot of trial work. My divorce was recently resolved, but not without a lot of effort on Mr. Rechel's part. I hired Mr. Rechel because I had seen him in court and watched him try a case against another lawyer long before I hired him to represent me. He was excellent then, and he was excellent in the handling of my divorce. To be a great family law attorney you have to be more than a lawyer because of the emotional turmoil that many divorces can create. Ted is a master at preparing his case and his client for court. His knowledge of the law forced the other side to reconsider their position, and in my opinion brought an end to a terrible situation. My wife was very unrealistic and unreasonable. Once, she and her lawyers understood that Mr. Rechel and I would never back down she finally agreed to end the case. I only hope that anyone reading this endorsement calls me to learn more..

Ted was appropriately aggressive, respectful, and honest. He was mindful of fees and costs and his staff and office have always been helpful and responsive.
Jennifer Ficarrotta Family Attorney
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I have had numerous cases against Ted over the past 20 years, and on every occasion he's shown himself to be an extremely competent, knowledgeable, resourceful and experienced adversary. While trying a case against Ted is never easy, I know Ted will be an above board and honest opponent, and professional throughout. We may and often do see things differently, but I always respect his opinion even while disagreeing with it - so much so that Ted is also my first choice as mediator when I have a tough case where a mediator with his excellent background, experience and judgment - and his ability to communicate and reasonably argue the 'trade-offs' may be the only way a case can be settled reasonably instead of having to be tried at much greater expense and risk to the client. As an attorney or mediator, I would and have recommended Ted highly and without reservation - even to attorney friends of mine who I was too close to personally to represent myself.
James Kramer Family Attorney
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I endorse this lawyer. This lawyer's contributions to this site are invaluable. I happily endorse this lawyer's work, ability and charity to those asking for advice. Further, I like to endorse good lawyers, because I find the AVVO rating system to be dishonest and corrupt. Frequently, disgruntled litigants on the opposing side (not your clients) will bash a lawyer on this site, pretending to be "your" client. When this situation is brought to AVVO attention, Avvo refuses to do anything to investigate and remove the false, slanderous "client" reviews. AVVO is a mean petty internet blog site trying to make money off of lawyers, and does not care if the public receives truthful information.
Nadine Jett Divorce and separation Attorney
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Mr. Rechel is a professional, very competent lawyer in family law, as well as other areas of the law.
Kristina Foster Family Attorney
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I first met Ted when I was working as staff counsel for the family judges in the 13th Judicial Circuit. He impressed me then as a reliable advocate of great integrity. Any work product he submitted to the Court was sure to be well-researched and creative in its approach. After nearly six years with the Court I knew I could only leave to work for the best, and that is Ted. In the weeks leading up to my transfer to Rechel & Associates I was repeatedly congratulated by my judges and other family law professionals for my good fortune, since Ted Rechel has a reputation for being both a consummate professional and a good man.

This is a really awesome recipe for even just banana bread. I didn't blend the peaches, but instead I cut them and folded them into the final batter. Great consistency!
Used two peaches and 2 bananas because that's all I had. This is perfect if you need to get rid of overly ripe peaches and bananas. Excellent flavor..

I have used various RSS aggregators for the Cubs and this one does not seem to be better or worse.
However, one thing that makes this worse for other teams is that appears to do a simple search for the mascot. As the Cubs is a unique mascot it will work. When I looked at the Boston College Eagles aggregation it was filled with Philadelphia Eagles stories. Sorry, that is neither "slick" nor "nifty".

The RSS feed has no ads...intentional or not. And you can always use a plugin like Adblock if you need to.
And as Dal mentioned they'll fine tune their search so the 4 BC fans can get their news. For a free low hassle tool for Cubs searches this works pretty well.

If Travis' back-to-back-to-back walks cost Hendricks the ERA title, that would really suck.
Edit: "A lifeless loss to a lousy Sox team."
This place is a real downer after a loss to the Sox.
I expect they will go 5-9 games above .500 the rest of the year. 96-98 wins will win the Division.
They should have one more 2-3 week hot streak in them.
However, several players are just "average" for the last month: Zobrist, Ross, Russell, Ceasar. Montero is terrible, plus he cannot throw anyone out. -WAR. Heyward is abysmal at the plate, but a plus in the OF. Still with RISP he has been terrible. KB has not been driving in runs as of late. But Apparently the team is still above average with RISP according to S Sahadev.
I came to that realization tonight. I kept expecting them to play better, but now I realize they aren't going to. They are a .500 team now.
- They have one reliable starting pitcher. Jake's magic is gone, and it doesn't look like it's coming back. Lester has been lousy recently. Lackey's ERA goes up every time he pitches.
- Heyward has been dead weight all year. I can't remember a single series where he was a significant offensive contributor. Not one. Great defense, but but if he were hitting .270 with 10 HR and played average defense, the Cubs would be better off.
new rule...no one's allowed to throw k.bryant a changeup
Team is .500 since early May and is playing like a .500 team. Lack of offense seems to be putting a lot of pressure on the pitchers...and they aren't handling it terribly well.
.500 the rest of the way still may win the division though.
...i hate espn.
nothing like settling into a cubs game to get a few minutes cutaway for an ortiz AB in the 6th inning of the det/bos game.
oh, at least they're doing split screen now...i guess.
I'm liking this rookie Nathan.
Richard DFA'd. Meh...
Throwbacks with fashionable cutouts would be a nice touch.
The next 2 games are nationally televised. I think we dominate tonight, hitting 3 HRs off Shields. Great night for KB to end HR drought facing HR prone pitcher in one of the most hitter friendly parks in the league.
If the ball didn't deflect off the pitcher's mound, the game wouldn't have ended. Montgomery did miss his location though, but if that same contact was made and went in any of direction, good chance of ground out if it doesn't get through.
If it was 1 night later, Chapman would be out there and we probably would be going to extras.
Also, If KB wasn't robbed of a HR, perhaps we would have won. We will never know. Nice play by Melky though.
The comparison isn't Chapman replacing Rondon. It's Chapman replacing Richard (hopefully) in the pen. Chapman's better.
I'm with you, Rob. You pretty much summed up how I feel about it.
Been quite the roller-coaster the past two days -- both games, plus the Chapman kerfuffel. How about a couple of nice, comfortable wins before facing Sale? Cubs should definitely wear throwbacks for that game.

I am working on a WordPress site that someone else created. amazinggracestory.com
They are using the Degradable HTML5 Audio and Video Plugin. The audio file in question plays fine in all of the browsers except for Internet Explorer. I have to click the Compatibility View icon to make it work and even then it's still falling back to Flash even though I've installed the .ogg file as recommended by the plugin creator.
It does work in IE without CV turned on if you right click the player but the controls don't load so most people wouldn't think to try that.
Has anyone else experienced this glitch and are there any solutions?

When its crowded, go with white.
lost in the bathroom Writes: I am redecorating my bathroom. I am on a strict budget, so current fixtures are remaining the same - I'm simply painting the walls and ceiling. The vanity, medicine cabinet, baseboards, and door are a dark cherry wood color. The decor is bamboo, with green and cream colors. I would like a bamboo green paint color, with some lavender, as well. But, I'm at a loss as to whether the walls should be green or lavender, and which color to paint the ceiling. It is not a large bathroom; and there is really only one wall that will be solid color. Any suggestions? See Answer From Stefanie Schiada »

Novelist Guy Ableman is in thrall to his vivacious wife Vanessa, a strikingly beautiful red-head, contrary, highly strung and blazingly angry.

Novelist Guy Ableman is in thrall to his vivacious wife Vanessa, a strikingly beautiful red-head, contrary, highly strung and blazingly angry. The trouble is, he is no less in thrall to her alluring mother, Poppy. More like sisters than mother and daughter, they come as a pair, a blistering presence that destroys Guy's peace of mind, suggesting the wildest stories but making it impossible for him to concentrate long enough to write any of them.
Not that anyone reads Guy anyway. Not that anyone is reading anything. Reading, Guy fears, is finished. His publisher, fearing the same, has committed suicide. His agent, like all agents, is in hiding. Vanessa, in the meantime, is writing a novel of her own. Guy doesn't expect her to finish it, or even start it, but he dreads the consequences if she does.
In flight from personal disappointment and universal despair, Guy wonders if it's time to take his love for Poppy to another level. Fiction might be dead, but desire isn't. And out of that desire he imagines squeezing one more great book.
By turns angry, elegiac, and rude, Zoo Time is a novel about love-love of women, love of literature, love of laughter. It shows our funniest writer at his brilliant best.
Editorial Reviews
"Outlandish, fueled by rage, very much like a brilliant comic stand-up routine… a comic novel of ideas." The New York Times Book Review
"Anyone who appreciates strong, clever writing will find much to enjoy [in Zoo Time]. [Jacobson] is a confident, gifted writer who can make points with panache." Houston Chronicle
"Funny and elegiac at once." Kirkus Reviews
"Howard Jacobson's prose is hilarious…this literary novel about the death of the literary novel sounds comedy's depths of sorrow." Cleveland Plain Dealer
"Just because most of us don't fantasize continuously about ditching our wives for our mothers-in-law doesn't mean it's not an excellent premise for a novel. …entertaining and biting to the final twist." The Forward
"[A]wickedly funny satire of publishing…It is always a joy to read Jacobson's prose, whose beguilingly casual tone belies its meticulous construction. This newest work confirms yet again his singular ability to weave comedy, sex, ideas, and deep insight into irresistible storytelling." Jewish Book World

ZOO TIMEA Novel

Chapter OneHe Stroke She
When the police apprehended me I was still carrying the book I'd stolen from the Oxfam bookshop in Chipping Norton, a pretty Cotswold town where I'd been addressing a reading group. I'd received a hostile reception from the dozen or so of the members who, I realised too late, had invited me only in order to be insulting.
'Why do you hate women so much?' one of them had wanted to know.
'Could you give me an example of my hatred of women?' I enquired politely.
She certainly could. She had hundreds of passages marked with small, sticky, phosphorescent arrows, all pointing accusingly at the pronoun 'he'.
'What's wrong with "he stroke she"?' she challenged me, making the sign of the oblique with her finger only inches from my face, wounding me with punctuation.
'"He" is neuter,' I told her, stepping back. 'It signifies no preference for either gender.'
'Neither does "they".'
'No, but "they" is plural.'
'So why are you against plurality?'
'And children,' another had wanted to know, 'why do you detest children?'
I explained that I didn't write about children.
'Precisely!' was her jubilant reply.
'The only character I identified with in your book,' a third reader told me, 'was the one who died.'
Only she didn't say 'book'. Almost no one any longer said 'book', to rhyme with took or look, or even fook, as in 'Fook yoo, yoo bastad', which was the way it was pronounced in fl at-vowelled lawless Lancashire just a few miles to the north of the sedate, sleepy peat bogs of Cheshire where I grew up. Berk, was how she said it. 'The only character I identified with in your berk ...' As though a double 'o' was a hyperbole too far for her.
'I'm gratified you found her death moving,' I said.
She was quivering with that rage you encounter only among readers. Was it because reading as a civilised activity was over that the last people doing it were reduced to such fury with every page they turned? Was this the final paroxysm before expiry?
'Moved?' I feared she might strike me with my berk. 'Who said I was moved? I was envious. I identified with her because I'd been wishing I was dead from the first word.'
'Were dead,' I said, putting on my jacket. 'I'd been wishing I were dead.'
I thanked them for having me, went back to my hotel, polished off a couple of bottles of wine I'd had the foresight to buy earlier, and fell asleep in my clothes. I'd agreed to go to Chipping Norton for the opportunity it afforded me to visit my mother-in-law with whom I had for a long time been thinking of having an affair, but the stratagem had been foiled by my wife uncannily choosing that very time to have her mother visit us in London. I could have caught the train back and joined them for dinner, but decided to have a day to myself in the country. It wasn't only the women at the reading group who wished they was dead.
Getting up too late for breakfast, I took a stroll through the town. Nice. Cotswold stone, smell of cows. ('Why are there no natural descriptions in your novels?' I'd been unfairly interrogated the day before.) Needing sustenance, I bought a herby sausage roll from an organic bakery and wandered into the Oxfam bookshop eating it. A chalk-white assistant with discs in his earlobes, like a Zambezi bushman, pointed to a sign saying 'No food allowed on the premises'. A tact thing, presumably: you don't fill your face when the rest of the world is starving. From his demeanour I assumed he knew I was a hater of Zambezi bushmen as well as women and children. I put what was left of the sausage roll in my pocket. He was not satisfied with that. A sausage roll in my pocket was still, strictly speaking, food on the premises. I stuffed it slowly into my mouth. We stood, eyeing each other up – white Zambezi bushman and Cheshire-born, London-based misogynistic, paedophobic writer of berks, buhks, boks, anything but books – waiting for the sausage roll to go down. Anyone watching would have taken the scene to be charged with post-colonial implications. After one last swallow, I asked if it was all right now for me to check out the literary-fiction section. Literary. I burdened the word with heavy irony. He turned his back on me and walked to the other end of the shop.
What I did then, as I explained to the constables who collared me on New Street, just a stone's throw from the Oxfam bookshop, I had to do. As for calling it stealing, I didn't think the word was accurate given that I was the author of the book I was supposed to have stolen.
'What word would you use, sir?' the younger of the two policemen asked me.
I wanted to say that this more closely approximated to a critical discussion than anything that had taken place in the reading group, but settled for answering his question directly. I had enough enemies in Chipping Norton.
'Release,' I said. 'I would say that I have released my book.'
'Released it from what exactly, sir?' This time it was the older of the two policemen who addressed me. He had one of those granite bellies you see on riot police or Louisiana sheriffs. I wondered why they needed riot police or a Louisiana sheriff in Chipping Norton.
Roughly, what I said to him was this:
Look: I bear Oxfam no grudge. I would have done the same in the highly unlikely event of my finding a book of mine for sale second-hand in Morrisons. It's a principle thing. It makes no appreciable difference to my income where I turn up torn and dog-eared. But there has to be a solidarity of the fallen. The book as prestigious object and source of wisdom – 'Everyman, I will go with thee and be thy guide' and all that – is dying. Resuscitation is probably futile, but the last rites can at least be given with dignity. It matters where and with whom we end our days. Officer.
Before they decided it was safe, or at least less tedious, to return me to society, they flicked – I thought sardonically, but beggars can't be choosers – through the pages of my book. It's a strange experience having your work speed-read by the police in the middle of a bustling Cotswold town, shoppers and ice-cream-licking tourists stopping to see what crime has been committed. I hoped that something would catch one of the cops' eye and make him laugh or, better still, cry. But it was the title that interested them most. Who Gives a Monkey's?
The younger officer had never heard the expression before. 'It's short for who gives a monkey's fook,' I told him. I had lost much and was losing more with every hour but at least I hadn't lost the northerner's full-blooded pronunciation of the ruderies, even if Cheshire wasn't quite Lancashire.
'Now then,' he said.
But he had a question for me since I said I was a writer – since I said I was a writer: he made it sound like a claim he would look into when he got back to the station – and as I obviously knew something about monkeys. How likely did I think it was that a monkey with enough time and a good computer could eventually write Hamlet?
'I think you can't make a work of art without the intentionality to do so,' I told him. 'No matter how much time you've got.'
He scratched his face. 'Is that a yes or a no?'
'Well, in the end,' I said, 'I guess it depends on the monkey. Find one with the moral courage, intelligence, imagination and ear of Shakespeare, and who knows. But then if there were such a monkey why would he want to write something that's already been written?'
I didn't add that for me the more interesting question was whether enough monkeys with enough time could eventually 'read' Hamlet. But then I was an embittered writer who had just taken a battering.
The Louisiana sheriff, meanwhile, was turning the evidence over in his hands as though he were a rare-book dealer considering an offer. He opened Who Gives a Monkey's? at the dedication page.
To the fairest of the fair: my beloved wife and mother-in-law
'That's coming it a bit rich, isn't it?' he said.
'What is?'
'Saying that you love your mother-in-law.'
I peered over his shoulder at my dedication. It was a few years since I'd come up with it. You forget your dedications. Given enough time you even forget your dedicatees. 'No,' I said, 'it's my wife who's the beloved. To my beloved wife, and to her mother-in-law. The adjective applies only to the first of them.'
'Shouldn't you have put a comma before the and, in that case?'
He jabbed the page with his finger, showing me where he thought the comma ought to have gone.
Oxford, I remembered, had its own rules for where commas go. 'The Oxford comma' had long been a matter of fractious controversy inside the university, but I hadn't thought the constabulary was hot on the subject as well. No doubt Oxford also had its own rules regarding the doubling of epithets. Wasn't there a word for the rhetorical device I'd inadvertently – assuming it had been inadvertence – deployed? Something like zeugma, only not zeugma. Maybe the policeman knew.
'Listen,' I said, 'as you appear to be an unusually discerning reader, can I make a present to you of my book?'
'You certainly cannot,' he told me. 'Not only would I be guilty of taking a bribe if I accepted it, I would also be guilty of receiving stolen property.'
In the circumstances I considered myself lucky to have got off with a caution. Those were no small transgressions: stealing a book, leaving out a comma, and scheming to misappropriate my wife's mother.

|IndexWriter is slow when reader is open
|Thu, 12 Nov 2009 17:05:40 GMT
Hi, I'm using Lucene.Net 2.4 and I just noticed that when I index documents while there's at least one IndexReader open on that index (even without doing anything), the indexing speed is slower by a factor of 3 to 5. When closing the reader, the indexing speed goes back to normal. I'm not doing any deletes, only adds. My index is going to be updated regularly and there's going to be a reader/searcher in use almost all the time so this might be a big problem for me. Does anyone have a clue if this is normal behavior? why does it happen and how can I avoid such a big loss in performance? Thanks, Eran.

If NRP makes 33 cents per unit for 2010 fourth quarter (street estimate) they will have made $1.26 per unit for the 2010 year. They now project $1.35 to $1.70 per unit for all of 2011. That puts the unit increase between 7 and 35%. Are my numbers correct???Appreciate input.
Good luck. I think you sold too early. I think NRP and the other coal MLPs generally peak somewhere around mid-March. Even tho coal is mostly used for electricity (and steel making), I think many investors associate it with heating in the winter, and this winter is pretty bad, where I am.Not the best reason to hold a stock, I'll admit, but it will have to do for now.
jrad:I sold today. Hope you will post other investments that you hold. Thank you for your comments on this board.
I said that I thoughht $ 36 was too high, too soon. So what do I know?
No, your numbers are not correct. Your analysis would normally be correct except for the fact that NRP bought back its IDRs in Q3, issuing quite a few units in the deal, and that transaction affects the computation of EPS quite a bit. So you can't compare the reported EPS for the first 3 Qs of 2010 to 2011 without some adjustments.On the 1 hand, NRP issued 32 million new units to buy back the IDRs (taking the total outstanding from 74 million to 106 million units), so that's quite a bit of dilution in the EPS calculation, reducing 2011 EPS. On the other hand, GAAP treated the IDRs as preferred stock, and that computation reduced 2010 EPS on the common units. Over time, the 2 adjustments should offset each other, but not right away.Really confusing stuff, but what it means (for EPS and distribution coverage ratios) is that 2011 isn't directly comparable to 2010.
jrad:Appreciate your explanation. Looks like we're looking at a 10% increase in profit with a 43% increase in shares. Should get better when Deer Run is on stream (2012).Thanks again.

USSC is excited for our 2nd annual Nike Boys Lacrosse Camp at Salinas High School. Directed by longtime Nike Lacrosse Camp Director, Mario Enea, our goal is to provide each camper with focused, intensive, position specific training sessions essential to improvement.
At the Nike Boys Lacrosse Camp at Salinas High School we are committed to helping each camper become a better lacrosse player and we hope all participants leave camp having established new friendships and more passion for the game.
Enea grew up in Monterey, CA and played high school LAX at Robert Louis Stevenson School in Pebble Beach, CA. A starter at Drew University in Madison, NJ, Enea led the team to a bid in the NCAA Div III tournament. Transferring to the West Coast to the University of California at Berkeley, Enea was a two-time Captain and All-Star, MVP, Most Inspirational, and two-time Western Collegiate Lacrosse League Champion. On the cover of the 1995 February issue of Lacrosse Magazine, Enea and his CAL teammates are photographed standing in front of the Golden Gate Bridge with the caption "Is Cal the best in the West?" Enea played in the North/South Division I All-Star game at Johns Hopkins University and was drafted in the third round of the Major Indoor Lacrosse League.
A former professional lacrosse player, Mario's enthusiasm, passion, and love for the game are contagious. He has helped founded numerous programs that have introduced thousands of kids to the game of lacrosse. He has developed over 125 High School All Americans. He is the former Head Coach at Santa Clara University, Santa Catalina, Palma, and Stevenson High Schools. Coach Mario founded BraveHeart Lacrosse, a training center for players, coaches and officials. BraveHeart Lacrosse hosts camps, clinics, tournaments, and an elite travel program. Coach Mario teaches his players to play with Honor, Integrity and Passion.
When he is not working lacrosse, he enjoys playing golf, running, cycling, hiking, and snowboarding. He is also an accomplished artist. Coach Mario lives in Carmel, CA with his wife, Whitney, and two children, Sofia and Ritter.
A detailed camper registration packet containing check-in location, health/release forms, emergency contact info, and a list of things to bring will be emailed to all registered campers prior to camp. Our health and release forms do not require a doctor's signature and they will be collected on the first day of camp.
Check-in takes place at the Salinas High School Turf Football field at 8:30am Monday, July 25th. Camp begins at 9:00am. Health/Release Froms must be completed and brought you to camp. Campers cannot be admitted without this form.
Camp ends at 3:00pm each day. There will be a closing ceremony at 2:30pm on Thursday, July 28th.
What To Bring
♦ Health & Release Forms (Hand in at check-in)
♦ Cleats or Turf Shoes
♦ Helmet and Mouthpiece
♦ Lacrosse Stick, Gloves, Pads
♦ Sunscreen
♦ Water Bottle
♦ Campers must bring their own lunch each day
Team Discount: If five or more campers register together, each camper is eligible for a $25 discount. Please have a team contact reach out directly to the USSC office at 1-800-645-3226 to receive a discount code to identify your group. Campers may then register through the website at their convenience and apply the coupon code during check-out.
Goalie Discount: To ensure each session has enough goalies for drills and scrimmages, all goalies automatically qualify for a special $50 discount. You can call 1-800-645-3226 to receive the goalie discount over the phone or you can indicate that you are eligible for the goalie discount in the "comments" field when registering via our secure website. Goalie discount cannot be combined with any other discount.
Sibling Discount: $25 off each player. You can call 1-800-645-3226 to receive the sibling discount over the phone or you can indicate that you are eligible for the sibling discount in the "comments" field when registering via our secure website. Sibling discount cannot be combined with any other discount.
Campers will train each day at the Salinas High School Football Field.
My son thoroughly enjoyed his experience at the Nike LAX camp. He had never played the game before and now I don't think he will ever stop!
The camp was very organized and run well. My son loved the coaches and the director Mario Enea! Mario's passion for lacrosse was infectious and his strong presence, passion, energy and love for lacrosse, coaching and the kids were the highlight of the camp. It was the highlight of our son's summer!

If you have troubles since the update to WordPress 4.5 please read this post before opening a new thread.
Ok, I love the automatic sidebar navigation but wondered if there was a way to omit the homepage from displaying it? I am using a sidebar on the homepage, and would love to hide the navigation on just that page.
Any ideas?
I didn't figure this out, but I ended up just creating 40 custom sidebars with custom menus.
The topic 'Sidebar Navigation' is closed to new replies.

If the production codes are to be believed, this episode was actually the first one to be produced after the Pilot.
Anyway... I have really enjoyed all of the episodes up until this point in the series, but this episode is the first one that didn't really do anything for me.
I watched it back-to-back with the previous episode, 'The Children's Song', and compared to that really good episode, this one suffered even more in my view.
I find that the story takes a while to really get going, and has some points where it is really slow, and a bit confusing in places.
Location-wise, the scenes on the ship and the resulting chase are well shot, and probably the best thing about this weaker episode.
The notion of McCall being forced to team up with a hitman – indeed, the plot as a whole – could have been really interesting and exciting, but it's just very flat in my opinion.
I expect there are others that love this instalment, but I just couldn't get into it. Maybe, if it really was the first one produced after the Pilot, things were still warming up. I'm glad they broadcast the far superior 'China Rain' as the second episode instead.

Qustion: does tha Blad 500 accepts digital backs? or better asked: do digital backs accept the Blad 500?
Jv, yes those are not a-priori the right tools, but as they provoque different reaction to people, they are trully interesting.
I read an interview with Lois Greenfield. She actually does not try to capture the moment. She tries to shoot just before the moment occurs. I guess it takes a lot of experience to shoot that way. By anticipating the moment she can use the gear she feels most comfortable with.
John, that's some great stuff. I certainly appreciate the 500/CFV combination. But with that said, i am also glad to be shooting the H3DII. Makes life rather simple. Which i appreciate now in this stage of my career.Now the big question, if offered a new MFDB combo from Hasselblad, would you still prefer to shoot the 500/CFV?
I own a H1/P30+ combination and recently also acquired a CFV back for my 503CW. I extensively used my H1 the past year and I find it quite hard now to go back to a camera without auto focus and without exposure meter. Speed is also a major consideration and when you are paying for model time the H1 is just a lot faster. IMHO it is just a better camera. The price for the coolest look goes the V-series though...
1. "Yes Rob, I read and don't really get it: what would be the more appropriated word then?"Use 'candid' if you are dealing/talking with older guys, because we all know what it means, which is 'truthful, without posing'. Street (today's sense) used to be called candid photography - truthful, unposed photography, whether in the street, in a factory or in a railway station, anywhere at all, even in hospital.2. "I even use mobiles phones, like this one of the photographer Alberto Garcia Alix."You lucky man; you move in exalted circles!Rob C
You've put me on the spot. Really, I think that if I was offered that option I would ask for the money instead and use it to get all my 500 kit CLA'd. But the reason for that choice is quite foolish, because I know that an H series camera would be easier to use in almost every respect. It's just that I hate the look and feel of the thing - it seems plastic and cheap to my taste. Whereas the old 500 is solid metal and chrome, the lenses are satin alloy with a heavy brass core, and it all feels like a camera should to me. So, sadly, I know that I would get no pleasure out of owning an H-system 'Blad, much though I admire it. And I can put my old 500 on the table and enjoy just looking at it while I have a cup of tea and a reflective cigarette.
Hmm, it just struck me that our younger members might not really know what a 'Blad 500 looks like, so here is one of my cameras, along with the period case and my trusty Weston meter.John

Iolo System Mechanic 9 - PC
System Mechanic has long been a favourite in the speedup and optimisation software market and the new version 9 promises to offer smarter, faster and deeper tuning with the benefit of new research into tune-up standards.
Perhaps the most notable additions are that of Tune-up Definitions, which allows System Mechanic to update the software remotely and EnergyBooster, which can turn off background programs and services that are not being used to free up memory and CPU resources.
In truth though, many of the improvements or 'new features' found in this version focus more on collecting together and streamlining the existing tools rather than offering any radical new functionality. This is reflected by the main interface, which reports the current status of a system using 'overall', 'health' and 'security' gauges from the most recent analysis. These can be corrected using a one-click solution or the specifics of the problem can be viewed in order to select a custom solution or find out more. This makes it quick and easy to shore up a PC for those who aren't bothered about the nitty-gritty of why things aren't working as they should, but of course a range of individual components are still accessible for greater control.
These are collected in the Toolbox as all-in-one tools to speed up, repair, clean up and address security issues and it's still possible to select from over 40 individual tools within similar categories to run manually, so there is a nice degree of flexibility here.
As well as manual selection the ActiveCare module makes it possible to set up live monitoring of a range of problem areas to clear system clutter, tidy up the registry, repair and defragment drives and more, offering peace of mind that the software is working effectively in the background to keep a system in good condition.
Finally, a range of reports are available that show the current status of various areas with the option to optimise each, and full roll-back is available for any changes made through the SafetyNet tool.
System Mechanic is generally very effective at what it does and makes it easy to analyse and optimise various areas of a system with a minimum of fuss. We did notice a distinct impact on performance while processes are running so those with slower PCs will want to keep automated tasks to a minimum. Aside from more intensive jobs like defragmenting drives however, it rarely takes more than a few minutes to correct issues and return a machine back to normal operation. One other frustration is that corrections often require restarts and while this can be delayed, can become an unwanted interruption, especially when caused by automatic monitoring.
It's often difficult to tell exactly how much of an impact on performance a suite like this has on modern PCs, though we did notice a distinctly faster startup and what felt like smoother operation during typical tasks. Whether or not you'll benefit from a speed increase, the additional cleanup and repair tools are useful enough in their own right and users who like to keep things tidy will find plenty of resources here to help.
System Mechanic ticks about all the boxes when it comes to streamlining or correcting problems with a PC and gains extra credit for presenting the wide range of tools available in an accessible and flexible way. It can effectively monitor problem areas automatically and still allows users to target specific issues from the Toolbox, and despite some impact on performance during scans, System Mechanic 9 is an extremely effective solution.

NY town mourns death of young off-duty cop
Frederick Garrasi III had only been on the force for 2 years when he was hit by a vehicle on his motorcycle
By PoliceOne Staff
HAMBURG, N.Y. — An off-duty cop travelling on his motorcycle Friday afternoon was killed when he was struck by a vehicle.
Frederick Garrasi III, 24, had only just joined the Evans Police Department full-time in February after working part-time starting in 2011, according to WIVB4.
The small department of 20 was deeply saddened by Garrasi's death, decorating his patrol car with memorial streamers Friday night.
About 750 people attended Garrasi's funeral on Wednesday, including Patriot Guard riders and several hundred officers from all over the state.
"He was a great person, a lot of life, made a lot of people smile and happy," said friend Alexandria Schifano.
Evans Police Chief Ernest Masullo read parts of Garrasi's application letter at the service, which professed his love and determination to be a cop.

"D5000 vs Canon Rebel T1i"
I'm looking to get a dslr for my wife for the holidays. I shoot Nikon (and Leica) and she owned a Canon AE1 when she was into photography in the 'old days'. Thus, we have lenses for both.I was researching the two cameras recently and found a head-to-head review that compared the two cameras:http://www.h2hreviews.com/article/Head-to-Head-DSLR-Camera-Review-Canon-EOS-Rebel-T1i-vs-Nikon-D5000.htmlThe reviewer clearly prefer the Nikon it seems, but the users strongly favor the Canon.Does anyone own both? Know how the video quality stacks up from both of the cameras?My wife loves nature - shooting wildlife, but mostly will take pics/vids of the grandkids.Thanks,Red
