The short answer is that the fortification looming above the station was Pittsburgh's first high school.
The long answer?
Settle in…
In the beginning, there were rats…
There was once considerable apathy and even outright opposition to the idea of a public high school in Pittsburgh. The Free Schools Law of 1834 divided Pennsylvania into school districts, with residents in each district voting on whether they wanted local schools subsidized in part by the state. The first public high school was established in Philadelphia in 1836, but it took another twenty years for Pittsburgh to embrace public high school education. The School Code of 1854 allowed district school boards to set teacher salaries, define grade levels and admission parameters, select subjects (although the state mandated orthography (spelling), reading, writing, grammar, and geography be taught in every school), and choose textbooks. With those guidelines established, and despite continuing citizen complaints about school taxes and teacher salaries, Pittsburgh opened its first high school on 26 September, 1855.

Pittsburgh's experiment in public high school education started with a student enrollment of 115, and within three days one student had already dropped out. Only three of those students eventually graduated. The first diploma ever handed out in a Pittsburgh public school in 1859 was actually to a young lady, Miss Hephzibah Wilkins (later Mrs. Joseph S. Hamilton). Heppie Wilkins returned some years later as school preceptress, a female administrator who attended to the 'special' needs of female students. She was promoted to teaching English and was the school's only female teacher from 1866-69. Her annual salary rose from $625 to $800 over the three years that she taught, until she was required to leave her position upon getting married.

The Civil War interrupted public high school education in Pittsburgh for many young people for the better part of a decade. Enrollment increased and conditions improved when the school moved in 1868 to four floors of the five-story old Bank of Commerce Building at Wood and Sixth.

Then again, "improvement" was relative, given conditions at the first Smithfield school. George T. Fleming, a 19th century raconteur and writer who penned multiple memoirs and curiously curated histories of Pittsburgh, was a student at both the Smithfield rooms and Commerce Building. His memories of Smithfield classroom conditions were not dimmed fifty years later when he recounted his experiences in various narratives. Fleming's vivid descriptions of Latin recitations shouted above the din of ceaseless wagon traffic on cobblestone streets, punctuated by tunes from an itinerant accordion player with a limited repertoire, plus the bellowing of an auctioneer from the floor below make for entertaining reading. The students fortunately had other distractions:
It was always a blessed relief when one or more of the predatory rats that infested the building, or even some quick-actioned mice, emboldened by hunger, would emerge from one of the numerous crannies in the old rooms, and begin to forage for the leftovers from lunch hour that had dropped on the floor. This sort of invasion invariably led to action. Any missile in reach –a piece of chalk, a small lump of coal, an ink well or its cover--perhaps, a surreptitious bone, would be hurled….at those miscreants by other miscreants. Perhaps a crust hardened by age was the only available ammunition, but the first opportunity and the nearest sharp shooter to the enemy got in his work quickly, regardless of the demerits that were sure to come and increase someone's already plethoric list.The Commerce Building had the advantage of "larger, cleaner rooms…better light and ventilation" (and, presumably, fewer rodents). It was quieter there, too; no accordion players or auctioneers, and Wood Street was paved with wooden blocks. The new building had five floors with a long, steep staircase built to accommodate students; steam heat; and a large chapel. Enrollment fluctuated as students came and went, but the Commerce Building school was soon overcrowded. More than one class was conducted at the same time in the same room, and even the chapel was called into usage as a classroom.
Pittsburgh was growing, and it was time for a real high school.
Pittsburgh's Central High School, The People's College….It was precisely because the city was growing that land in the Hill District became available to the Central Board of Education.
|Pittsburgh Press sketch from 1890.
The two Bedford basins remained critical for the city's water supply needs until the 1890s, when they were converted into city parkland. But the Central Board of Education called dibs on the unused property for a new high school. City Council donated land high on the bluff overlooking Union aka Penn Station and Bigelow Boulevard, at the corner of Fullerton (now Fulton) and Bedford Avenue.

And so it was that the cornerstone for the first purposely-built high school in Pittsburgh was laid during a gala ceremony on 30 September 1869. This new building was a huge deal to Pittsburghers, who celebrated with a parade of 4,000 students from all of the city's various elementary schools marching in grand procession alongside various dignitaries, policemen, and brass bands. The schools were designated with flags and silk banners, and the littlest girls carried floral wreaths or bouquets as they processed through the streets. They strolled from Penn Avenue and Fifth Street downtown to the site on the Hill. A crowd of 10,000 spectators followed the parade beneath an evergreen arch to gather round a stage that had been set up over the foundations of the new building.
That stage supported the many speakers of the day, plus six brand new Estey pump organs to accompany the musical selections. (Six pump organs!) Speeches were made, prayers were invoked, songs were sung and music played, poems read, and dignitaries engaged in an orgy of self-congratulation. Finally, a time capsule consisting of a copper box containing Central Board of Education material, cultural and educational memorabilia was ceremoniously dedicated and lowered into the cement cornerstone with three raps of a mallet by Principal Philotus Dean. The local papers printed detailed accounts of the day,including many of the speeches, and dubbed the school on the hill "The People's College."

The twin-towered stone and brick building was designed by the Pittsburgh architectural firm of Barr and Moser and constructed by local contractors. It was completed in 1871 at a cost of $200,000. Housing 30 classrooms for 600 students, and including a lecture hall, proscenium stage and 1000 seat auditorium, science labs and a library, it was a building that filled Pittsburgh with pride.

Admission to Central was based on a passing grade of 65% or better on entrance exams in maths, grammar and spelling, geography and US history.
Students could pursue a one-year Commercial or business-related degree; a two-year Normal Department program designed "to prepare teachers for our city schools"; and an Academic program which followed a traditional liberal arts and sciences curriculum. The first year's enrollment totaled 436 students, divided across programs as follows: Commercial, 57; Normal, 94; and 285 in Academic. The typical school day lasted from 8:45 AM until 2:15 PM, with a twenty minute recess.
|B.C. Jillson, MD, PhD
Fourth Principal Of Central High School, 1871-1880
Members of the Board and many Pittsburgh citizens complained that the public high school was "an expensive luxury." Faced with pressure in 1874 from the Board to promote a two year degree to improve attrition and secure a better economic return on the city's educational investment, Principal Benjamin Cutler Jillson resisted, testifying that Central was more than holding its own and needn't dumb down its academics. "Everything of value costs money and our high school is no exception," he wrote in a report reprinted in the local papers along with charts and graphs showing longitudinal Pittsburgh high school attendance, attrition statistics, and favorable comparisons with Philadelphia and Chicago high schools.
The Board continued to exercise its due diligence oversight of the school but as Pittsburgh's population grew and higher education became valued more in society, Central's enrollment and attrition issues stabilized.

Central had a diverse student body...or as diverse as cultural and economic conditions in Pittsburgh allowed.
Which is to say, the student body wasn't particularly racially diverse.
Central did provide the first desegregated educational options for the city's black population, whose students previously had no choice but to attend "colored" or "separate" schools. The Pittsburgh School Board funded a separate school for black students in 1838, but that school did not have a dedicated space until 1867 when the Board purchased lots on Miller Street in The Hill. Enrollment was never robust, in part because Pittsburgh's black community was so geographically dispersed in pockets across various city neighborhoods that getting to a centralized school on The Hill was a challenge. During the Reconstruction era Pittsburgh joined in the national debate about integrating its public school systems, particularly significant since the separate Miller Street School House was not far from Central. Citing poor enrollment and expense, there was Board opposition to keeping it open.
Integration, then as now, was a controversial issue -- and not just for the predictably racist reasons, although those certainly existed. An 1872 newspaper account summarized the fractious debate at a Board meeting at which ending "separate" schools like Miller Street was discussed:
A number of members held that if the colored children were admitted into the ward schools it would create great dissatisfaction among the white residents of the several wards, and that the majority of the white scholars now attending the schools would be withdrawn. It was also held that the great majority of the colored people, nineteen out of twenty, were satisfied with the present school system, and did not desire to send their children to the ward schools, as it would be unpleasant both to their children and the white scholars. Others held that the Fourteenth amendment gave the colored people all the rights of citizenship, and that under this amendment they could claim the privilege of sending their children to the public schools.

There were three black students in Central's 1872 class. Dr. George G. Turfley, who had previously attended the city's "separate schools", was one of Central's first black graduates in 1876. He became one of Allegheny County's first registered black doctors, with practices in Arthursville on the Hill and elsewhere. Black students who wanted to continue schooling into their teen years had no choice but to attend Central after 1875, but Central's enrollment would always be dominated by white students.

|Willa Cather during her Pittsburgh years
Willa Cather Foundation
There were female teachers as well, including Pulitzer Prize-winning author Willa Cather. After graduating from the University of Nebraska in 1896, the 22 year old Cather's first job was as an editor for a new women's magazine called The Home Monthly based in Shadyside. That job only lasted a year, at which point she became a writer for the evening newspaper The Pittsburgh Leader. Cather presumably found that newspaper work wasn't conducive to creative writing, and became an instructor at Central in 1901. She taught Latin, English and algebra there until transferring to another local school in 1903. One of her former Central students, John O'Connor Jr., went on to become Assistant Director of Fine Arts at Carnegie Institute. He was interviewed by the Pittsburgh Sun-Telegraph about his memories of Cather when she died in 1945:
He still cherishes a yellowed composition paper of his on which she marked "Good." She was well-liked by the pupils, he said, who found inspiration in the breezy, western way she had with people. She dressed plainly in tailored clothes, he said, and always wore her hair parted Madonna-like in the middle.
Two of the short stories Cather wrote during this time were psychological studies that featured Central High School: "The Professor's Commencement" and "Paul's Case." The latter was likely inspired by 1902 sensational newspaper accounts about two Pittsburgh teens who absconded to Chicago with money they'd stolen from a local real estate office. Cather mixed such source material with a teacher's perspective on reaching problem students; the social claustrophobia and disappointments of academic life; and descriptions of Central's surrounding neighborhood in all its brute physicality.

These stories also made manifest Cather's dichotomous vision of Pittsburgh culture, which she described in an 1897 Nebraska State Journal article: "Now all Pittsburgh is divided into two parts. Presbyteria and Bohemia, and the former is much the larger and more influential kingdom of the two."
In "The Professor's Commencement" Cather's elderly English Literature teacher had only meant to teach for a short time but found "….the desire had come upon him to bring some message of repose and peace to the youth of this work-drive, joyless people, to cry the name of beauty so loud that the road of the mills could not drown it." And yet, thirty years later, he finds himself plagued with regret and unfulfilled dreams, feeling as if "All those hundreds of thirsty young lives had drunk him dry." At his retirement dinner, the Professor looked about the room:
….picking out the faces of his colleagues here and there, souls that had toiled and wrought and thought with him, that simple, unworldly sect of people he loved. They were still discussing the difficulties of the third conjugation, as they had done there for twenty years. They were cases of arrested development, most of them. Always in contact with immature minds, they had kept the simplicity and many of the callow enthusiasms of youth. Those facts and formulae which interest the rest of the world for but a few years at most, were still the vital facts of life for them. They believed quite sincerely in the supreme importance of quadratic equations, and the rule for the special verbs that govern the dative was a part of their decalogue…He looked about at his comrades and wondered what they had done with their lives. Doubtless they had deceived themselves as he had done. With youth always about them, they had believed themselves of it. Like the monk in the legend they had wandered a little way into the wood to hear the bird's song—the magical song of youth so engrossing and so treacherous, and they had come back to their cloister to find themselves old men….
Central High faculty, 1880-90s
The High School commanded the heart of the city, which was like that of any other manufacturing town—a scene of bleakness and naked ugliness and of that remorseless desolation which follows upon the fiercest lust of man. The beautiful valley, where long ago two limpid rivers met at the foot of wooded heights, had become a scorched and blackened waste. The river banks were lined with bellowing mills which broke the silence of the night with periodic crashed of sound, filled the valley with heavy carboniferous smoke, and sent the chilled products of their red forges to all parts of the known world—to fashion railways in Siberia, bridges in Australia, and to tear the virgin soil of Africa. To the west, across the river, rose the steep bluffs, faintly etched through the brown smoke, rising five hundred feet, almost as sheer as a precipice, traversed by cranes and inclines and checkered by winding yellow paths like sheep trails which lead to the wretched habitations clinging to the face of the cliff, the lairs of the vicious and the poor, miserable rodents of civilization. In the middle of the stream, among the tugs and barges, were the dredging boats, hoisting muck and filth from the clogged channel. It was difficult to believe that this was shining river which tumbles down the steep hills of the lumbering district, odorous of wet spruce logs and echoing the ring of axes and the song of the raftsmen, come to this black ugliness at last, with not one throb of its woodland passion and bright vehemence left.

….in despair, and his drawing teacher voiced the feeling of them all when he declared there was something about the boy which none of them understood…His teachers left the building dissatisfied and unhappy; humiliated to have felt so vindictive toward a mere boy, to have uttered this feeling in cutting terms and to have set each other on, as it were, in the gruesome game of intemperate reproach.
Cather's stories notwithstanding, life at Central wasn't all drear and drudgery. The newspapers dutifully reported on the Academic program's college-bound scholars; Central's many athletic teams representing football, baseball, hockey, and girl's basketball; its orchestral, choral and stage productions; and the school's literary and honor societies. There were clubs, too, for photography, naturalists, and an unnamed tech nerd group in the 1880s described as "...a group of technology enthusiasts doing wood and metal work such as laboratory apparatus, minor repairs, care of the electric lighting, and the installation of a useful telephone system which has saved the school a goodly amount of money."

Central High School students professed a strong esprit de corps. No doubt the official "yells" helped consolidate school spirit. From 1889:
And this, from 1896:
There was also at least one Central school song, in four-part harmony:
And of course, there were hi-jinks. Students got in trouble and were disciplined for the usual creative adolescent reasons. Take, for instance, Hartley Phelps. In 1890, Mr. Phelps received a two week suspension for roasting the faculty during an essay he presented at the school's Dean Literary Society. (Note to Hartley: don't count on your Daddy being a School Board member to keep you out of trouble. Publicly mocking the principal's bald head isn't exactly endearing to said principal. Plus, your Daddy Thomas was a former tax collector, so maybe not the most popular guy in town).
But fear not! There was a Team Hartley, 1890s-style. The next day, all the boys in his class wore black crepe mourning armbands, and the girls wore "black court-plaster on their cheeks" in a show of solidarity. More suspensions were handed out, parents groused about faculty who couldn't take a joke, and Pittsburgh papers had fun reporting about Hartley-Gate.
Hartley Phelps apparently liked seeing his name in newsprint, and was too clever with words for his own good. He went on to a career as a Pittsburgh newspaperman, specializing in detailed feature stories about the city's history. He was the lead historical author of a book that historical dilettantes like me turn to quite often: Palmer's Pictorial Pittsburgh and Prominent Pittsburghers Past and Present, which contains profiles of this city's VIPs (no mocking of bald heads allowed). Hartley never married, and died at the age of 44 in 1915.
Photo documentation of other high school hi-jinks is sadly lacking as to whether these fellows got away without a suspension. Identified only as "Midge, Boob, and Shrimp", these young men casually posed on the school's rooftop ventilators in 1914. Perhaps we're looking at Class of 1914 Senior Pranks.

Central stopped operating as a traditional high school entirely when Schenley High School in Oakland opened in 1916. At that point Central became the home of the two-year Short Course Business High School, which was quite successful during its 15 year existence.

By 1929, the business program at "old Central" had an annual enrollment of nearly 1000, with some 40 faculty under the supervision of Principal Louis B. Austin.
But the 1870s-era building was by this point quite outdated, and that same year all the local papers reported on some new classrooms going up next door to Central:

Principal Austin died in 1929 and his position was taken by David Daniel Lessenberry. But the writing was on the wall for old Central High and the programs it sheltered.
By 1933 a completely new school drew attention at the corner of Bedford and Fullerton: the state-of-the-art Connelly Vocational High was completed. Central's secretarial and clerical programs expanded and shifted to the new facility.
Old Central High School continued to be used over the next ten years to house the Pittsburgh offices for the National Youth Administration Student Work (aka Work Project) Programs, which were New Deal initiatives to provide vocational training and employment for young people in construction, manufacturing, clerical and service fields.
Central was finally demolished in 1946, the same year that its 1870s-era contemporary, the long-abandoned Old City Hall Building on Smithfield Street, was destroyed.
It's entirely likely that bits and pieces of old Central High are scattered throughout the city. As was typical during large-scale demolitions, a local salvage firm was contracted to sell Central's

Ibiza always brings back memories of sun, beach and party for those who enjoy unforgettable moments in its idyllic coves. It seems almost inevitable not to link Ibiza to summer days, however, there is much more to do and see in the island. Ibiza has a particular story that talks about the time when the island was a haven of peace and nature, where a simple life was the only way of life for its inhabitants.
Currently there are many options to enjoy the two environments of the island, the historical and natural, and the endless celebration of their macro discos. The best way to enjoy a holiday in Ibiza is to reconcile the two sides of the island. Arriving at Ibiza International Airport you will notice that public transport is scarce and it only communicates comfortably the main areas of the island. Do not worry, there are many car rental options that will fit your desires, or your economy.
A good plan to spend your first morning on the island is to stroll through the historic centre. As you walk through its narrow streets full of buildings that seem taken from the Middle Ages, you can stop at the Old Market and thus make a stop to enjoy a typical Ibizan breakfast. At noon we recommend having a meal in the old part of the city and then go immediately to visit the seven bastions of Dalt Vila, where you can stop and enjoy a unique view to recognize the immensity of its natural beauty.
Sunset is the ideal time to visit the bay of Sant Antoni. This magical place is known especially for its sunsets. Both locals and visitors are impressed by the beauty of every sunset, mystical and romantic. There are no two sunsets alike in Sant Antoni. Hundreds of people meet everyday at Calo des Moro and Ses Variades to share the magic of the sunset while taking a drink. With friends or alone, the important thing is to enjoy a unique and unforgettable moment.
Nightlife in Ibiza is unparalleled. From the busiest terraces to the most romantic spots in front of the sea, the leisure offer is endless. The clubs on the island are known around the world because they are in the musical vanguard for three decades.
In each of the small towns of the island there are unique places full of charm, as Santa Gertrudis, Sant Josep or Sant Antoni and Santa Eularia's marinas. Do not miss the opportunity to visit this unique point in Europe, where fun and the natural charm of the island come together to make you enjoy an unforgettable holiday. And if you fancy another plan, do not forget to visit our blog suggestions.

How to Eliminate Gingivitis: The 5 Signs of This Terrible Gum Disease and How to Eliminate It!"
Discover How To Detect & Destroy Gingivitis In The Fastest Time Possible!
Dear Friend,
Do you know that Gingivitis or gum disease causes tooth loss and actually accounts for 70% of cases of tooth loss?
It is surprising that many people complain of sensitive gums but only a few realize that this condition could actually be gingivitis. Gingivitis could actually be the early stages for a full blown gum disease.
Hi, my name is Dr. Prasad. I'm a dentist right here in Whitefield, Bangalore and I specialize in detecting and preventing gingivitis. I'm so glad you found this report. Because if you think you have gingivitis, you need to act ASAP and stop it.
Let me first explain to you about gingivitis. It is actually an inflammation of the gums caused by a buildup of plaque. Plaque develops in your mouth everyday and is normally harmless. Improper brushing and flossing may cause this plaque to produce toxins that irritate the gums. The gums become sore and tender and cause gingivitis. It results in a serious condition, periodontitis (causing breakdown and destruction of bones and tissues of the mouth) if left untreated.
In other words, untreated gingivitis can result in tooth decay or even worse, permanent tooth loss!
But I have some good news for you: most cases of gingivitis are reversible with professional treatment.
Let me discuss the early warning signs of gingivitis, which can help detect gingivitis at an early stage.
"Some of the Early Warning Signs"
Gum disease is generally painless and as such is undetectable in the early stages. Some of symptoms of the disease include red or swollen gums, tender gums that bleed on brushing, receded gums that give your teeth an elongated appearance. Pockets may form between gums and teeth which makes a storehouse for food debris and bacteria causing bad breath.
Change in gum color from light pink to dusky red indicates possible gum disease and requires a visit to the dentist for checkup.
"Do You Regularly Have These Side Effects?"
If you have a persistent bad breath or bad taste in your mouth then you might be suffering from gingivitis. Good oral hygiene involving brushing between the teeth and behind the back molars is very important to remove food debris deposited between the teeth. Flossing every night is also necessary to remove the plaque buildup that is the primary cause for gum disease. Most people do brush and floss daily but unless done in the right manner does not help remove the plaque. Chronic Bad Breath could also indicate gingivitis.
"Most People Think This Side Effect Is Normal"
"Long Teeth" due to receding gum line may be caused as a result of plaque buildup around the teeth. It forms pockets of bacteria under the gum line causing gum inflammation and pushing teeth away from the gums. You might not experience any discomfort apart from the long appearance of the teeth. Hence it requires a trained professional dentist to detect gingivitis. Gum Graft surgery can be performed to reverse the damage can may require at least 6 weeks time to heal. But early detection does not require the treatment and can save you a lot of trouble.
"Early Warning Sign ″
If you have the habit of clenching or grinding your teeth then you need to be careful. Because clenching or grinding your teeth may exert severe pressure on the teeth and gums. If you already have gingivitis then the extra pressure may accelerate the destruction of the gum tissues leading to tooth loss.
If you have the slightest suspicion that you clench or grind your teeth during the day or at night time (unknowingly) then I recommend you to come for a visit as soon as possible.
Finally if you experience pain while touching the gums then it could be gingivitis
So what can be done if you experience any of the signs?
Here's what you can do about it…
"Here's Your Next Step to Healthy, Happy Teeth and Gums"
Swollen, tender or bleeding gums, chronic bad breath and longer looking teeth all could be warning signs of gingivitis. Did you know that nearly 80% of Indians adults have early warning signs of gingivitis? But because in the early stages it is mostly painless, you could have gingivitis without knowing it.
You can get gum disease detected as soon as possible. I specialize in the treatment of gingivitis and with my expertise I know I can help you reverse it. Your teeth are your most valuable social asset and you could avoid situations such as losing teeth if you could come in for a consultation with me.

Tips on Stocks, Bisques, Chowders & Stews
Soups aren't unique to the Caribbean, but we all get confused. So as far as they go, what is the difference between a stock, a bisque, a chowder and a stew?
1. STOCK – A stock, or more hearty broth, is a liquid in which meat, fish, grains or vegetables have been simmered.
2. BISQUE – A bisque is a thick, creamy soup, traditionally made from pureed shellfish.
3. CHOWDER – Chowders use flour as a thickening agent with a variety of main ingredient options from corn to clams
4. STEW – And stews are made from solid ingredients, slow cooked in liquid, then served in the resulting gravy.

What a nice surprise I got recently from the post! I participated in a swap game with Frk Turkis, she has spoiled us all!!! She can sew fantastic things, here they are in a very cute wrapping pocket
it's a hairband
The rules of the game are to invite two other people to play along: if you want to participate you just need to leave a comment below, and I will send you a surprise and in return you will have to send me a surprise too - so like a swap but one is free to choose what to give to one another
It will be pretty hard for me to fulfill the second part of the game as she can sew anything!
To be continued...

To free the blog from stagnation, an update on a favorite lunch spot: Top Baguette. It's possibly common knowledge by now for Little Saigon regulars, but the beloved banh mi shop made a recent move to a colorful spot on the corner of Bolsa and Magnolia. Earlier this month, Top Baguette was still offering a buy-one-get-one free banh mi deal to celebrate its grand reopening. It's not the same value as, say, the three-for-two deal at Saigon Bakery, but still one to take advantage of while the eats are even cheaper.

Original Ways To Make Money Fast- She Made $ 20,000 in 3 Days
You're broke, the cupboard is bare. I sympathize with you because I do not really understand how you could be in this position with the abundance of money around you.
People talk about living within their means and curtailing spending and such. The truth is you should be spending more on yourself. You only live once. The concept of worrying about the leak in the bathtub when really you should be more concerned about the speed of the water coming into the tub. Turn those taps on wide open.
Here's a way you can make 20 thousand dollars in a couple of days. All legal of course and completely easy to do.
Real estate is very lucrative. But generally it's accepted that without a deposit and good credit you may never enter that market. Fine, here's a way to make a fast $ 5000- $ 30,000 without needing to spend more then a few dollars on phone calls and gas.
Jenny Rouse is a friend of mine, she was in a jam. When she tried this at my suggestion, she could not believe how easy it was to make any amount of money she wanted. She continues to function as a Real Estate Bird Dog to this day. She drives a merc these days.
Day 1: Start hunting for a bargain. Take a few hours to study your local R / E Agents listings to get a feel for prices. For example a standard 3 bed house on a standard block, make that your target and establish what it's currently worth. That's the intrinsic value. This is important to gauge accurately. Once you know what this type of house is worth give or take a few thousand, you can now look at individual properties and make allowances. For example a 2 car garage you can add $ 20,000 Larger backyard? You can add another percentage permit to come to a final conclusion on the intrinsic value of each property you look at.
Do not trust the agents comments, make your own conclusions based on the prices you have observed.
Find one that is an obvious bargain. Say, you know it's worth about $ 200,000 and they are asking $ 157,000 Now you are going to take that spare value and profitize it for yourself.
People sell homes for their own reasons. Divorce, no accurate knowledge of the market, a host of reasons. It's your job to give them what they ask, not wonder about their motivations to sell. Make them an offer of $ 160,000 on the condition that they give you 48 hours to arrange things at your end. They do not need to know you will not be the end buyer. It's not their business, if they are getting more than they asked for, they have no concerns. The 48 hours gives you a few days to find a buyer, if you fail to interest anyone, you can walk away, free and clear. Give them a small deposit; $ 50 your argument is that you will give them a proper deposit when you decide to definitely buy in 2 days (which the new buyer will give them).
Now you have control of the property. Legal control. They can not sell it to anyone else but you for the next few days. Of course you have no intention of buying the house, you just want some temporary control of it.
This way, the deal must pass through you.
Day 2: Find some genuine property investors on the look out for a good deal. You will approach local investment clubs. There are always cash rich, time poor property investors on the look out for a new investment. You let them know about the house and arrange for them to inspect it. Tell them you will let it go for $ 180,000
They would snap it up at that price.
Now it's a simple matter of assigning your deal with the initial sellers to the new buyers. Realistically this is a bit tricky. But what you can do is sell the "assignment" to the new buyer. Which always works. The alignment is the difference between the $ 160,000 you arranged and the new buying price of $ 180,000
Making you a nice profit of $ 20,000
Day 3: Repeat.
Being a real estate bird dog is very profitable. You have no overheads. No loans to worry about and certainly no deposits to come up with.
You can treat it like a business, form contacts with investors and shop your local neighborhood all the time for new bargains. Some bird dogs advertise, others canvass door to door. You can print up some business cards.
This is just one way to get into real estate. It is definitely the way many people make large amounts of money very fast.
The $ 20,000 you just earned should be sent on a very nice new car. If you get skilled at this business, your money concerns will be a thing of the past.
To your health and rapid success!

Editor's note: it's Public Notice Week Jan. 18-24--time to remind citizens of the value of Public Notices in representative democratic government.
When governments create or authorize state and local agencies to create new programs, they typically require some measure of public disclosure as a form of public oversight and to make agencies accountable.
As far back as 1789, during the first American Congress, that accountability has come in the form of public notices in independently-published newspapers. Actions of the congress were ordered to be published in three separate newspapers to ensure wide circulation.
The concept eventually extended to commerce as a way to protect property interest, provide due process and consumer protection from certain business entities - foreclosures, bankruptcies or unclaimed property, to name a few.
City councils, county commissions, school boards and other public bodies are required to provide special notices of special meetings, for example, because those notices must list all items to be discussed. Public notices are required for public hearings on land zoning changes, proposed budgets and taxes, certain ordinances, annexations, and when the government plans to use its ultimate police power - the use of eminent domain to take private property.
Public notices are like the third leg of a stool - with the open records and open meetings laws.
Proposals have been made in Tennessee and other states to move those disclosure notices solely to government websites. That would be tantamount to eliminating public notices as they have historically been.
As one commentator in Georgia noted on a similar county commissioners' association proposal: "That would take notices out of plain sight and bury them in the tangle of documents on government-designated websites."
Anyone looking for a public notice would have to know exactly what they are searching for and when and where to look. Instead of going to their local newspaper where they have always gone to see notices, citizens would be left searching for "a needle in a haystack."
Public notices need to be made available as widely as possible. Tennessee newspapers and the General Assembly smartly went in that direction last year.
Tennessee newspapers post every notice printed in the local paper on their local website and on a statewide, aggregate website provided by the Tennessee Press Association. Those extra services are included at no extra cost to the entity placing the notices.
To ensure the notices are easily found, newspapers must link to the notices section from the website homepage. From there they link to the statewide website at www.tnpublicnotices.com. The site is searchable.
The only way to make distribution any wider would require stuffing notices in every mailbox.
Two primary arguments for changing to websites exclusively -- saving government money and reports of declining readership of print newspapers - don't really hold water.
The touted savings never include the costs of maintaining a dependable and secure government website, one that can't be hacked and where there are no guarantees.
Newspaper critics argue there is "a march toward online news with its immediacy and away from print news."
The latest available figures showed that 45% of Tennessee households subscribe to newspapers. That's a base. When newspaper website traffic is added, it is easy to see that many readers migrating from print are migrating to newspaper-run websites. Now they will find notices in both places, plus 1.
The Aspen Times, a newspaper in Colorado, compared its website to the site for the combined local city and county governments. The newspaper site had 4.7 times more monthly users and 8.5 times more monthly page views because readers, taxpayers and voters were coming to the Times and its website for other reasons and interests.
No one has said it better than the Valdosta (GA) Daily Times:
"Newspapers have a long and important legacy of helping the public keep an eye on officeholders and agencies through our news reporting and publication of government notices."
Enough said.

This week ends with what is perhaps the most troubling news in several years, as regions across the galaxy appear to be pushing boundaries and testing their wings.
The week began with signs of war in the Asadian Territories, as Kois Station launched seven Erroding II missiles across space towards J-San, A Pu-yo, and neighboring regions. Kois Staton has been involved in a very lengthy, unsuccessful multi-territorial peace-talk with delegates of their once connected neighbors from Koith Station, as well as diplomats from Rhosia, Red Star, J-San, Kroy, and many of the regions around the Eurysan Territories—all whom wish to see Kois Station cease their attempts of constructing a doomsday weapon.
While talks with members from Kroy and several of the Eurysan based territories have faltered, things had appeared to be going well between the delegates from Koith Station, Red Star, and Rhosia.
While it is only speculation, Kois Station may have fired one missile for each member of the peace committee, and one for their own region.
Regions of the Kroy Territories are especially nervous, as it is believed that the Erroding II missiles may be capable of reaching Mari.
It is well known that Kois Station has an intense dislike of all the Kroy baronies.
As the week progressed, focus shifted from Kois Station to the Kal Kerishim Territories, with all eyes on the Gieish regions, which are currently trading short range missiles with their Saliman neighbor to their upper boarder, Lishbanish.
The war apparently started when Lishbanish terrorist militants took two soldiers stationed at Azotus Station while they were patrolling space between the two regions.
Azotus Station immediately retaliated against Lishbanish authorities—which Azotus Station believes is "light" against terrorist organizations based in its boarders—sending a volley of missiles at their enemy. While it is unknown at this time who exactly fired retaliation shots, several small missiles have been launched back at Azotus Station from Lishbanish.
By day two, each side had traded over two dozen missiles, and Lishbanish found itself blockaded by shuttles from Azotus Station, and soldiers who have cut off land entrances to many of the major TerraBases in the Lishbanish regions of space.
Neighboring regions of the Kal Kerishim space have stated that there would be harsh penalties is Azotus Station were to attack them, even accidentally. Leaders from Ira Ayatol, who have been in the news recently for their progress towards the construction of doomsday weapons, stated that they would assist any Kal Kerishim region attacked by Azotus Station, or any region where the Gieish Philosophy is practiced.
Lishbanish leaders have already contacted the Elite for assistance, though it appears that any aid will do little to fix the social damage already caused by this skirmish.

A Photoshopped picture of Sarah Palin has been doing the rounds for the past few days; it shows her in a stars and stripes bikini toting a rifle - patriotism, hunting and cheesecake all combined in one image. Two minutes of Googling reveals that the rifle has been identified by gun nuts in Republican chatrooms as a Crossman pump pellet gun. Soft porn for rednecks. Expect to see it pinned to the wall in every gas station in Texas and tacked to the dashboard of every long-haul truck. But this cartoon-like depiction of her smothers what we need to understand about why Palin appeals to American voters and why American elections have been so deadlocked for the past decade, as if there were two Americas, doomed to lived on the same landmass under the same government, like hopelessly incompatible spouses.
A new novel, American Wife by Curtis Sittenfeld, published in the US this week, tells a fictionalised and thinly veiled story of Laura Bush, from small-town girl in the 1950s midwest to school librarian to Republican bride to President's wife. What you learn from the novel is that, like it or not, the American heartland is not so much a political ideology but an actual place with people living in it. Small-town Americans have values and a lot of those values are good ones: neighbourliness, family life, a knowledge of the land and what grows in it. The other America they see on TV seems without ethics - crime, violence, drug addiction, pornography and prostitution - and they don't want any part of it.
So clear is the divide between big-city and small-town America that one American friend said to me: "These whitebread Republicans are like children - someone has to tell them what to do and what to think, they're incapable of independent ideas."
The conviction by the left that the right is stupid is one of the defining and least attractive characteristics of contemporary politics. Assuming that anyone who disagrees with you is too dim to get your point is not itself a particularly brainy way to win others over to the essential correctness of your views. But it is true that to small-town Republicans the world is not a complicated place, because they have seen so little of it.
I asked a sophisticated and well-travelled Republican why he voted the way he did. He described growing up "dirt poor" in a small town in Northern California where joining the military was your sole ticket out; where the people in his family who depended on welfare stayed where they were and the ones who worked their fingers to the bone managed to make a better life for themselves. For him, joining the army led directly to an education. In fact, it led all the way to Princeton. But how, I asked him, baffled, could someone as intelligent as he is believe that George W Bush was anything but a cretin?
Because, he explained, people in small towns don't like or trust intellectuals, particularly ones who appear to be sneering at them for their supposed stupidity. They admire a plain-speaking man; it's what they know and what they are used to.
They always assumed Bush was a regular guy who could keep his thoughts concise.
So America is stuck. Two countries, mutually irreconcilable, who never meet each other and don't want to, either. Who distrust each other at best, despise each other at worst. And who have absolutely no understanding of the other.
Reading Sittenfeld's thinly disguised account of Laura Bush and her upbringing, it was possible to see that the modest lives of her midwestern characters both had dignity and made sense. But I only have to meet them in a novel, which I can snap shut as soon as I've finished it. Were I an East Coast Democrat, which is the only kind of American I can ever imagine being, I would have no objection to small-town Republicans - to their church-going and their hunting rifles and their flag-decked porches and their meatloaf with gravy, and their lemon chiffon cake. I could admire their intimacy with the wide prairie and the vast sky.
The problem is that when they're running the whole country, they want to take away abortion rights, drill for oil in Alaska (a Palin policy), ignore climate change, and start unwinnable wars. With the small-town Republican mindset in charge, the rest of America and the rest of the world is forced to live by small-town values, which aren't much help when you're trying to decide what, if anything, can be done about Iranian nuclear ambitions or more humbly, workplace date rape.
Can America survive another photo-finish election which the Republicans win, or will it be out and out war between the red and the blue states? Perhaps only small-town America itself can prevent it, such as the dental nurse who asked how the mother of five kids, one with Down's syndrome, could hold down a full-time job, one step from running the United States. Sarah Palin, bad mom. That might finish her.
· This week Linda witnessed the end of the months-long Desperate Housewives drought when it at last returned to Channel 4 on Wednesday: "I survived in the meantime with the theme tune as my mobile-phone ringtone." She finally saw, almost a year after everyone else, The Band's Visit: "A film that quietly rejoices in the absurdity of human nature."

"Teaching is, at its core, a moral profession. Helping students become connected, passion-driven learners is a moral issue. Most of us went into education to change the world, to help kids, to make a difference, and somewhere along the way, many of us lost sight of that moral purpose.
We all have a choice: A choice to be powerful or pitiful. A choice to allow ourselves to become victims or activists. A choice to take a stand on behalf of the children we serve.
The world is at your fingertips. Figure out your personal vision for change in your school or classroom. Learn how to leverage the wisdom of the crowd. Build alliance. Find your tribe, your community. Then do something powerful to promote change. Sit down with other educators and share what you learn. Be a transparent learner. Be an example you want your students to become. Show them what a learner does to make the world a better place.
Choose to be powerful."

About This Event
Oakland Pride 2019
Sunday, September 9th, 2019 from 11:00AM-7:00PM for OAKLAND PRIDE'S 10th ANNUAL PARADE + FESTIVAL
Mission Statement
It is the mission of Oakland Pride to celebrate the cultures and diversity of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) community in Oakland and the East Bay. We are dedicated to educating the greater community, promoting equality, civic involvement and responsibility within Oakland and neighboring communities.
History & Goals
East Bay Pride was celebrated in Oakland from 1997 to 2004. Led by the efforts of former Oakland City Councilmember Danny Wan and the Oakland Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Roundtable. "Oakland Out In Oakland" commenced with a celebration of LGBT life in 2005 and 2006. Pride had not taken place in Oakland since that time.
In 2008, Oakland City Councilmember Rebecca Kaplan and others led efforts to re-organize an LGBT Roundtable in the City of Oakland. Since then, members of the Roundtable and the LGBT community representing all walks of life decided that it was time to resuscitate Oakland Pride for the long term and advocate for LGBT rights and interests, including the development of the first LGBTQ community center in Oakland for everyone.
Since the renewal of this effort, Oakland Pride has been busy networking with allies and partners. Our goal is to create a vibrant and viable organization worthy of the LGBT community in the East Bay. Oakland Pride is set to celebrate our annual Pride festival on the first Sunday of September, Labor Day Weekend. As we continue to raise funds for the festival, the longer-term goal is to support our larger goal for the creation of an LGBT Community Center in Oakland for everyone.
Oakland Pride is a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation. We are presently applying for sponsorship support from foundations and corporations. The funding will serve to not only help in the organizing of an event, but also eventually provide funding for the support of services at a future Community Center. Oakland Pride wants to be of assistance in providing a sustainable solution to implement or support needed services for challenges in our community—especially in low-income, multi-cultural elder and young LGBT communities.
Oakland Pride is collaborating with a host of organizations that help our community and include Our Family Coalition, Lavender Seniors of the East Bay, Pacific Center, East Bay AIDS Advocacy Foundation and many other organizations that represent the breadth and depth of LGBT people in our community

Properly maintained, a water heater will provide years of dependable service. See your water heater manual for specific maintenance instructions for your model. If your water heater is leaking at this time, please see Water Heater Emergency Shutdown Instructions and contact Anytime Plumbing immediately.
General Gas Water Heater Maintenance
Draining the Water Heater
Draining the water heater should be done annually in homes with decent pipes. If you have galvenized pipes, you may want to do this more often as there is a greater chance of solids ending up in the water heater.
In order to drain the water heater, turn off the cold water supply. Open a hot water faucet or lift the handle on the relief valve to admit air to the tank.
Attach a garden hose to the drain valve on the wter heater and direct the stream of water to a drain. Open the valve.
Periodic Inspection
It is recommended that a periodic inspection of the gas control (thermostat), burner, relief valve, internal flue-way and venting system should be made by service personnel qualified in water heaters. Anytime Plumbing is qualified in water heater maintenance, installation and replacement.
At least once a year, lift and release the lever handle on the temperature pressure relief valve, located near the top of the water heater, to make certain the valve operates freely. Allow several gallons to flush through the discharge line to an open drain.
A water heater's tank can act as a settling basin for solids suspended in the water. It is therefore not uncommon for hard water deposits to accumulate in the bottom of the tank. If allowed to accumulate, these solids can cover the gas control (thermostat) sensors, causing the sensors to operate erratically.
Because accumulated solids can prevent the thermostat sensors from accurately reading the water temperature, the water at the fixture can be hotter than the gas control dial setting. It is suggested that a few quarts of water be drained front he water heater's tank every month to clean the tank of these deposits.
Rapid closing of faucets or solenoid valves in automatic water using appliances can cause a banging noise heard in a water pipe. Strategically located risers in the water pipe system or water hammer arresting devices can be used to minimize the problem. Contact Anytime Plumbing.
The anode rod should be removed from the water heater's tank annually for inspection and replaced when more than 6" of core wire is exposed at either end of the rod.
Make sure the cold water supply is turned off before removing the anode rod.
Some gas water heaters have a combustion shut off device that shuts the water heater down if undesirable combustion conditions occur such as the presence of flammable vapors or blockage of the combustion air inlet openings. If this occurs, contact a qualified technician - Anytime Plumbing.
- Visually inspect pilot burner and relight if necessary.
- Ensure sufficient ventilation and combustion air supply
- Proper clearances must be maintained
When installed in a closet, DO NOT block or obstruct any of the combustion air inlet openings located around the perimeter of the water heater. A minimum of 1" is required between these combustion air inlet openings and any obstruction.

Mayor Wharton announces first Memphis skatepark for Tobey Park
Mayor A C Wharton announced today that a location has been selected for the first Memphis neighborhood skatepark. The skatepark will be constructed in Tobey Park, near the intersection of Flicker Street and Avery Avenue. The skatepark will be designed by the firm of Wormhoudt Incorporated, nationally-renowned for their expertise in this field, in partnership with Askew Hargraves Harcourt & Associates, Inc. of Memphis. The $440,000 skatepark will be funded out of the City of Memphis' capital improvement projects budget, through a request that was originally approved by Memphis City Council during the 2009 fiscal year.
"We are very pleased to finally let our local skateboard community know that this project is moving forward," said Mayor Wharton. "This is one more terrific quality of life investment in the heart of our city that will provide a safe, healthy, active resource for hundreds of our city's children. I have heard the demand for the skatepark loud and clear for many months, and on behalf of its many future users, I want to thank Memphis City Council Chairman Harold Collins and Councilmen Jim Strickland, Kemp Conrad, Reid Hedgepeth, and Shea Flinn for their advocacy, as well as our Parks Division for their continued hard work on this project."
"We've worked long and hard to turn the city's first skatepark into reality, and I am happy that it is being built in my Council district," said Memphis City Councilman Jim Strickland, who represents Council District 5. "The skatepark will be located in the center of the city near the Fairgrounds, and because of its location, every citizen of Memphis will have access to it and will be able to enjoy its recreational and health benefits. I believe that the thousands of children who use this park will greatly enjoy it."
The design team will work to arrange a public meeting within 30 days to gather additional input from the local skate community. The facility is scheduled to be completed and open to the public by September 2011.
Brad Christian permalinkAugust 9, 2010 3:07 pm
Great news! Thank you Mayor and Councilman Strickland! I was very worried that Councilwoman Halbert had ruined our chance to get a skatepark in midtown.

If you're the lucky owner of a video-enabled iPod you can now watch video art anywhere, anytime.
The Danish Artnode foundation has launched the artPOD website, which offers an interesting collection of video art for the iPod, free of charge.
The idea behind the initiative is to create a new context for the distribution and experience of video art as an alternative to the immobile and institutional boundaries of art galleries and museums.
In the spirit of Xmas and free software culture, artPOD encourages people to share the videos with friends.
So far, 8 renowned video artists have contributed to artPOD. In case you don't have a an iPod with video, you can also watch the art from the website.

Hihi everyone! My name is Goma though I have also earned the nickname "Disgruntled Giraffe" which is how I sign most of my artwork....when I bother signing it. Ok, maybe I'll just get on with it. Here we go!
"Tempest from L:SSSC"--Hmm...what to say about it? I know a lot of people complain about it being on notebook paper but I did do another on artist paper and it really sucked so I kept this one. The resemblence is a little weak, I think, but it's overall not too bad.
"The Desperate Angel"--OK...for those who don't know..."Desperate Angel" is a cool though short song by a J-Rock group called X, later X-Japan. I forced DA to listen to it and !Suprise! she liked it! So she adopted the nick as her own and used it for the name of her page. For some reason, she asked me to draw a pic for the front page. I asked her what she wanted. She said "something that would fit." She's such a big help, ya know? Anyway, I thought an angel would be cool so I doodled one in Math class..(Notes? We don't need no stinking notes!) and DA liked it. I did a better drawing of it scanned it, fed it through Adobe. I believe it's in its third form now...and there's still another to come. Maybe it'll be right sometime soon. ^-*
"Laguna & Raine"--*laughs* Lee-chan, where shall you lead me in the future? OK, this one originally came from the tortured and twisted mind of Lee. Originally I was going to make it with two guys... (Maybe Squall....or Zell...though Squall would be a better contrast) and might still do it if I get free time. Anyhoo, I'm not really satisfied with it. The bodies and heads don't match too good. They look all weird. I think I will have to do it again. Alors...

Getting some stuff from the weekend out of the way…
Power Line – Why Do They Hate Buses?
A young woman is near death in Marseilles tonight, after a group of "youths" fire-bombed this bus:

And speaking of France…
LGF – French Jawdropper of the Day
You think you've seen French appeasement at its worst. Then they go and do something like this.
Last year's French riots were triggered by the deaths of two "youths," who fled a police ID check, broke into an electrical substation to hide, and were electrocuted when they touched something they shouldn't have.
Last Friday officials and residents of Clichy-sous-Bois, scene of some of the worst rioting, dedicated a monument to these two disenchanted fleeing criminals: Silent march for dead youths in France's suburbs.

LGF – Britain's Gigantic Problem
If this AP report is accurate, as Tony Blair prepares to give his final bows, the British Cabinet is now in the business of recommending methods to postpone being eaten by crocodiles: UK wants to improve image with Muslims.

It was snowing heavily, I suddenly thought of preparing a quick snack. I had lots of apples lying on the kitchen counter, So I decided to prepare apple bajji. DH loved it and got five stars from everyone who tasted it. Bajji's vanished in no time.
Ingredients :-
|Besan | gram flour | kadala maavu
|1 cup
|Chilli powder
|½ tsp
|Idli | dosa batter
|1 tbsp
|for deep frying
|to taste
Method :-
1). Prepare the batter with besan, water, salt, chilli powder and hing. To test if the batter is right, dip a slice of Apple in and see if it coats it well without dripping off.
2). Core and thinly slice the apples into thin circular discs. Slice the apples evenly to ensure even cooking.
3). Heat oil in a pan on a medium flame. To test if the oil is hot enough, drop a small amount of batter into it and see if it immediately sizzles to the top. When it just about starts to smoke, dip the apple slices in the batter and gently slide in the oil, one by one.
4). Turn over and fry the bajjis in small batches in medium heat until golden brown. Remove the golden brown bajjis onto strainer / kitchen paper towels to drain the excess oil. Repeat the process until all the slices are done.
Apple Bajji is ready !! Serve hot with Coconut chutney and Cardamom tea.
Notes :-
# Alternatively you can cut the apple into thin wedges instead of slices.
# Don't make the slices too thin otherwise they will loose their shape and crumble.# Make sure the batter coats the apple slices evenly.
# You can use any type of apples, even sour apples tastes good. This recipe is a good alternative to use sour apples.
# If you do not have idli/dosa batter handy, you can use cooking soda.
# You can use onion slices instead of apple slices to prepare onion bajji. Check this link for the recipe -> Onion Bajji

A weak and foolish one God uses to confound the worldly wise. Purpose commissioned from the Throne: To speak encouragement to leaders, to speak clarity to those in influence, to speak of things to come, to speak clearly against those who would others and to reveal the Heart of a Matter when it causes confusion.

Deep Darkness Displaced by LIGHT
Here's what I heard the Lord say in response to all the gloom:
"You were called to be the light of the world, not the dark. Come into the light, let it shine. The world lives in enough darkness, offer people the hope I placed in YOU by MY Spirit. Let joy and peace reign in your hearts and by contact transfer that to others. Demonstrate why I am the desire of Nations. Your brief moment of diversion is over. Now it is time to once again proclaim victory and the life as an overcomer you were destined to be. It is not enough that you survive, but that you thrive. Come up HERE.. Higher so you can see what life really is supposed to be at 30,000 feet. Don't allow the stress and pain of the world to drag you down. Lift others up. My word in your mouth is enough. Walk away from those who are spiritual pollutants. You were filled with ME to have Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Love, Gentleness, Faithfulness and Self Control. Turn your back on those things that rob you of any ONE of these noble things."
1 comment:
Would it not be a perfect world if we all walked in the light of Jesus Christ? In order to get to that place, we must shine that light out onto others so they can see the world in God's light. I try everyday to be a beacon unto others and in doing so, I hope that I reach a few and the switch is turned on for them. This world may seem gloomy and dark, but with the love of God and the holy spirit within ones heart, it becomes a beautiful and peaceful place when you allow God to direct your every step. May God's blessings be with you Gene and your heart be filled with Joy.

BISMARCK—Optimism is high ahead of the 2018 Williston Basin Petroleum Conference, where North Dakota's oil industry is set to discuss technology advancements that could recover even more oil from the Bakken.
More than 2,150 people are registered for the event that starts Tuesday at the Bismarck Event Center, with additional participants expected to attend throughout the three-day event.
The conference will showcase research projects that are underway to increase the potential of the Bakken and target more oil-producing formations.
"I think there's just a big technology breakthrough ahead of us," said Kathy Neset, an oilfield geologist and president of Neset Consulting. "There might have been a slowdown in the rig count, but there was a not a slowdown in the work going on behind the scenes to continue research and development."
North Dakota has 14,457 producing oil and gas wells as of March, a new record for the state.
But the oil produced from those wells, most recently 1.16 million barrels per day, only represents about 10 percent of the oil that could be recovered, industry experts say.
Ultimately, North Dakota is projected to have 60,000 oil and gas wells, with the drilling completed over the next 15 to 17 years, said Director of Mineral Resources Lynn Helms.
"We're still less than a fourth of the way there," Helms said.
As drilling continues, technology advancements will allow the oil industry to capture more oil from future wells, Neset said.
"Each one of these new wells will capture a higher percentage of crude oil," she said.
One research project that will be highlighted during the conference is a partnership with Liberty Resources and the Energy and Environmental Research Center at the University of North Dakota.
Liberty CEO Mark Pearson is scheduled to discuss a pilot project that involves injecting natural gas underground to enhance oil recovery.
The technology has been investigated in the lab at the EERC and will be tested in the field north of Tioga this summer, said John Harju, vice president for strategic partnerships for the EERC.
"The simulation results are very, very encouraging," Harju said.
Other topics that will be highlighted during the conference include workforce issues, pipeline monitoring technologies, expanding natural gas infrastructure and cybersecurity issues.
Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke is the keynote speaker on Wednesday morning.
The conference features more than 70 presenters, including eight Bakken executives, and a trade show with more than 270 booths.
The 26th annual conference, which rotates between North Dakota and Saskatchewan in Canada, attracted more than 4,000 people in 2012 and 2014. Though attendance is on track to be closer to 2,500, Ness said he thinks optimism is as high as it was during the peak years of the Bakken boom.
"We've been through a rough period," Ness said. "I think finally Wall Street and investors have recognized what we've accomplished in the Bakken with the decreased costs, the improved efficiency and companies and the investors are focusing back on the Bakken. That's a big, big deal."
