Expert explains issues surrounding well spacing
Figuring out the proper spacing of wells is perhaps as old as the oil and gas industry itself, but as horizontal wells replace verticals, the issue has become more complex.
Extracting oil out of the ground involves much more than simply drilling a hole and pulling the valuable resource out. As miles-long laterals are drilled, rock characteristics change, as do the pressures that help direct the fissures in breaking open shale through hydraulic fracturing. If wells are spaced too close together or if fracs are too large, wells have a tendency to "communicate" with each other, which can interfere with recovery. If wells are spaced too far apart, the reservoirs won't be fully drained.
Dick Leonard is the director of the global technology team at ProTechnics, a division of Core Laboratories. He's an expert on the issues that surround well spacing and spoke in-depth with the Reporter-Telegram to shed light on how to get it right — and what can go wrong.
The following has been slightly edited for length and clarification.
MRT: Broadly speaking, what is the issue with well spacing?
Leonard: The biggest thing, from an operator's standpoint, they want to design their development plan to optimize the number of wells drilled to drain all of the recoverable reserves and do so economically. The big question is: How close do we need to have the wells to effectively drain the reservoir? It's an ongoing question that won't be answered overnight and will be different depending on the area.
The uniqueness of the Permian Basin — both on the Delaware Basin side and the Midland Basin — is they have such a thick column of prospective plays, the total square footage that has hydrocarbons. Depending on where you are, it could be 3,000 to 5,000 feet thick, which means that to adequately drain all of those reserves, you need to be able to position your wells horizontally in a way that maximizes recoverability.
MRT: Is this a new problem in the oil industry?
Leonard: Oh, no. Any field that's been developed has this question. The uniqueness of the Permian Basin is the total footage involved and you're drilling into unconventional plays. Twenty years ago in Midland, they were drilling vertical wells and you'd see pumping units every 5 or 10 acres. They were very close together, and that's because that's just what it took to adequately develop that.
With unconventionals, we started drilling horizontally, which allowed us to space the wells farther apart because we had horizontals that helped us tap into the reserves you were getting with a bunch of verticals. One of the big benefits of horizontals is one horizontal well might cover an area that would have been 10 or 20 vertical wells. But the challenge is, in a vertical well, you're going through all of these different lays and levels of pay, that 3,000 to 4,000 feet of interval. In a horizontal, we're turned sideways, and we have to target just one of those. What allows us to get a additional reserves away from that is the hydraulic fracturing process.
MRT: What happens if the wells are too close together?
Leonard: Probably the biggest thing is, it hurts the economics. If you drill too many wells, you have the cost of those wells. When we talk about optimizing well spacing, the idea is to have just enough wells that are spaced adequately that you get everything that's there but without too much overlap. You can see what kind of a challenge that is because you're dealing with different types of rock. These layers aren't one big, solid, homogenous layer of the same rock. There are different porosities and permeability. A lot of factors apply and make it difficult to tap into the different reservoirs without some fairly sophisticated diagnostics.
My company, ProTechnics, has different diagnostics, such as proppant tracers, that can show how far the fracs are going and, therefore, help operators decide how they need to space the wells.
MRT: Can you explain what a "frac hit" is and how it impacts well spacing?
Leonard: That's the other piece of the puzzle. In a perfect world, you would like to go into a basin and on your 20,000 acres say you know you need to have a well every 100 acres. You put together a development plan that has all those wells in it. The reality is, we drill these over a space of many years. You've got the early wells that were drilled right when the horizontal programs were just starting. A lot of operators will go in there and prove up the technology, decide what kind of fracs they need to be pumping, etc.
One of the other challenges is different leases have different lease terms and acreage amounts for laterals drilled. So, what you try to do is take as much acreage as you can. For example, if I can earn 1,200 acres with one well, I'm going to position it to get to keep that acreage protected and then come back in and say, OK, now the reality is I need o have a well every 250 feet, then space it out. Frac hits come into play when considering what you're going to do in development to mitigate the effects of new drilling and fracking with those original wells.
People talk about a parent-child relationship, the parent being the first well drilled. When you drill a child well, what do you need to do with that parent well to prevent the child well from fracking right into it, which has two negatives. One is it could adversely affect the parent well. Even more so, it could affect how much new incremental production you get from the child well.
Say, you have a parent well that was drilled five years ago. Say, it produced X barrels of oil and its pressure has dropped. When you drill a new well, it might be in an area of what's called "virgin pressure" but it fracks into this low-pressure environment. What ends up happening is, these fracks follow the path of least resistance, so it's very difficult to force it into a direction that it doesn't want to go. Fracs will tend to grow in the area toward lower pressure. If you have one side of a well that is under pressure at 5,000 pounds and another side is at 2,500 pounds, that frac will go more toward the 2,500-pound side.
Frac hits are a combination of how close the wells were drilled and what kind of pressure depletion have you had in and around that well to attract that frac. A lot of operators are doing "protection re-fracs" by injecting fluid into an older well or even do another frac on it, with the goal being got recharge the area around the wellbore so that when you complete the child well, the fracs will grow away from the older well and get into new rock.
MRT: How common are frac hits?
Leonard: Very common.
MRT: What steps do you have to go through to analyze the situation and mitigate damage?
Leonard: There are several different diagnostic technologies out there. We run fluid tracers of different kinds. One is more hydrocarbon-based that is designed to attach to the oil. You sample the child and parent wells, to see if the tracer in the new frac shows up in the old frac. It helps quantify the amount of fracture communication between wells, which in turn helps companies evaluate spacing between wells.
When I talk about inter-well communication, it's not only a magnitude, but it's a duration, also. What we know from our experience over the past 10 to 15 years is these fracs might reach out and touch an area a sizable distance away from the original well; you're, maybe a 1,000 feet away. But the reality is, you would see a pressure increase if you're looking at the surface pressure on an old well, which can tell you the frac got that far. What our tracers do is tells you that you got that far and how long it's lasting. What kind of magnitude and if you still see the same communication after three months and six months.
As you start producing wells, the actual effective drainage area is almost always less than the created fracture area.
MRT: How much more difficult is it to properly space a horizontal well versus a vertical well?
Leonard: It is significantly more difficult. We're drilling a well a mile down and then turning sideways to drill a (one)-mile to two-mile lateral. Within a vertical sequence, you're going to have a lot of change in the rock but you can build a drainage ellipse around that well and use your
best guess.
When you go sideways, operators are trying to stay in a 40- to 50-foot window and use fairly sophisticated logging equipment, such as gamma ray. However, the bit wants to go in different directions, so you don't drill in straight lines. It goes up and down, so the physical drilling of staying within a target is difficult. The other issue is because you have a mile or more of different kinds of rock, you might go through areas that is more clay-rich or go across faults. This all makes well spacing more complex.
The reality in West Texas is that you have vertical wells drilled over the past 50 years that are still producing. Along that lateral, you're going to have different pressure regimes. They have to position these laterals in between vertical wells and are going to get into their drainage areas. Some parts of the lateral might be at virgin pressure, and others might be at thousands of pounds of pressure less.
MRT: How often do you see operators here in the Permian put wells too close together?
Leonard: I don't know if you can really evaluate right and wrong on that. In a perfect world, you wouldn't want any overlap and the puzzle comes completely together. That's never going to happen. There's a tendency, in general, and this is my opinion, that we would rather have a little bit of overlap because you're comfortable you didn't leave anything behind, though you might drill an extra well in the process.
If you say I'm going to be conservative, you're going to be leaving some reserves behind. That doesn't necessarily mean you're not being economic; you just didn't spend as much and aren't going to get as much. What you want is to find that perfect balance, which no one ever does.
MRT: Is there any way to know if your wells are too far apart?
Leonard: If you're too far apart, you will have mitigated the frac hit because you won't see it and you won't see the tracers, which shows minimal communication. We've had situations where we'll see a lot of inter-well communication in the first week or so, but in month or so into it, there isn't any communication. That tells me the wells were close enough to touch, but by the time you're really draining, you're not seeing the effect of those offset wells.
People will typically try something in one area, and if they don't see a lot of inter-well communication in the tracer data, they'll drill the next one a little bit closer.
Also, this whole argument about well spacing is not just the spacing, but how big of a frac you put on it. If you have wider spacing, you can probably put bigger fracs on them, but maybe the fracs aren't as effective. The size of the frac is not a straight-line proportion of recovery.
MRT: Do you want to see at least a little bit of inter-well communication early on to help figure out spacing for later wells?
Leonard: My position is, yes. If you're not seeing any communication between the wells, no matter what diagnostics you're using, I would be concerned you're leaving some reserves behind because you're too far apart or not pumping big enough frac jobs.
The whole optimization process is trial and error, and if you're not trying new things, you're not truly optimizing. The industry is using longer laterals and more frac stages. When we were drilling early on in the Barnett, we might have a 3,000-foot lateral and use three frac stages. Now, a Barnett well would be 6,000 to 8,000 feet long and have 50 or 60 stages. I think we might be too close on spacing or too long on laterals, but if you don't try it, you'll never know.
MRT: What is your top advice for getting well spacing right?
Leonard: Pick out certain areas and run the necessary diagnostics to evaluate it, use the data and test it. How many stages do we need? How close do they need to be? What perforation design should be used?
Also, if I had 10 or 15 DUCs (drilled but uncompleted wells) ready to be completed, that's the perfect opportunity to run diagnostics. You've already drilled the well, and the spacing has already been set. What you haven't decided is how big of a frac should be used, how many stages and what you need to do differently on the actual completion part.
Most DUCs are on a path near wells that have been producing for some time. If it were me, I would try to see what we can do to mitigate frac hits in parent wells. I don't want to damage the parent wells, but I don't want to adversely affect the new completion by having a well that's partially drained nearby. I'm a big proponent of re-fracs, recharging, doing something to help new fracs go away from parent wells.
MRT: Any parting comments?
Leonard: The fun part of the oil and gas industry is every well is different. When you're going 2 miles away from where you started vertically, there are a lot of changes that can happen along the way.

What does the Pope eat?
You'll find lots of tidbits about the last three popes' eating habits in the new English translation of "The Vatican Cookbook," as well as details about what it's like to live and dine in the world's smallest country.Published in April 2016, "The Vatican Cookbook: 500 years of classic recipes, papal tributes, and exclusive images of life and art at the Vatican" is a vision of the lives of the popes and those who live in this highly protected enclave. With a slew of five-star reviews on Amazon lauding the color photography, the history and the recipes, this cookbook seems bound to be popular among the faithful, and possibly also the culinarily devout.
It's the year of the Vatican Jubilee, so the book's timing seems appropriate.
Its authors, David Geisser, Erwin Niederberger and Daniel Anrig, are all current or former members of the Pontifical Swiss Guard, a kind of papal secret service. You will discover dishes such as "Argentine Empanadas on Pepper Salad," a favorite of the current Pope Francis from Argentina.
What about the Polish pope, John Paul II? Holy pierogis, of course, which he insisted on having—despite doctor's orders—after being laid up by a bullet wound during an attempted assassination.
The cookbook reveals that the popes like to dine on traditional dishes that are heavy on meat and cheese and also quite rich. We also learn that Polish nuns do most of the cooking.
In its pages you journey through the everyday lives of three popes, Pope Francis, Bavarian Pope Benedict XVI, who retired, and the late Pope John Paul II. All of these recent popes have sections featuring their biographies and favorite foods.
Buon Appetito!

What kind of people homeschool? What do they do all day? Visit these blogs where homeschoolers tell all the gory details of what it's like not to send their children to school.
This is how Alasandra homeschools – "What does your daily schedule look like? Our schedule varies day to day. That is one of the things I love about homeschooling the ability to be flexible and take advantage of field trips, community events ect. as they are available to us." Read more here.
This is how RoyalMom homeschools – "Are your kids always polite and ready to learn?" Not always "polite" depending on the frustration level within a sibling conflict. Usually polite to mom and dad and friends. They are always eager to learn because they direct their own learning." Read more here.
This is how MomLovesBeingAtHome homeschools – "Do the kids (or you!) get frustrated? Umm… YES!
How has this affected your parenting? It has made me a MUCH better parent. It has helped me learn so much more patience for one thing. It's brought my kids and me so much closer together though. We are such a close family that I can't even imagine living a different way anymore." Read more here.
This is how Christine homeschools – "We do our morning learning stuff all over the place (couch, floor, while eating breakfast, on the toilet! WHEREVER!). When I first started, I had a little table set up where we would "do school." I laugh SO HARD at myself when I look back on that time. I meet person after person after person who did the same thing in the beginning, only to throw it out the window. There are others who actually have a school room or school table in their home and use it religiously. So what's normal? All of it." Read more here.
This is how Liese homeschools: "We had a co-op today called spy school. I'd tell you more about it…………but I'd have to kill you. No, just kidding. The girls got a file folder with all kinds of codes and instructions for how to by a spy." Read (and see) more here and here.
This is how Shez homeschools – "How much free time do they have? What do they do during their free time? What hobbies do they have? They had too little free time last year. We're fixing it this coming year. They will have at least 5-7 hours of free time a day. Ben and Shira play a lot. Their play is incredibly creative. They build sanctuaries, caves, skyscrapers, fairy glens, if you can think about it, they have probably built it. They spend hours a day drawing, painting and sculpting. Shira is also starting to do a lot of embroidering. Right now their bikes feature prominently in their lives, as does the pool and their cameras. They love to talk walks and photograph what they see." Read more here.
This is how Rhicarian homeschools – "What is your educational level? Do you feel this has an effect on your teaching (both limits and abilities)? I have a bachelors degree in psychology and then 2 post baccalaureate years in the teaching credentialing program at San Diego State University. I don't think my education makes me better prepared for homeschooling. In fact, the classroom management and lesson preparation skills I learned might be part of my struggle. There's more to deschool, more to unlearn." Read more here.
This is how my3boysandi homeschools – "He has gotten into Sea Scouts this year which I'm sure wouldn't have happened had he been at school. He first joined so I could say yes hes being socialized. The opportunities they have come about because of it are wonderful. He also attends church and youth group. He has some home schooling friends and goes swimming on a Friday afternoon. He attends play group once a week, although this is a preschool play group he has become a helpful member. He has lead the music/singing time (this gives him the opportunity to speak/perform in front of a group) , the activity time and sometimes cooks for morning tea and serves it too." Read more here.
This is how livingbylearning homeschools – What does your daily schedule look like? A daily schedule doesn't work for us, at least, not for me. Something always comes up that takes precedence over any set schedule. Sometimes it's a field trip with my daughter, or a special class or activity for homeschoolers. There is always something going on. Instead of a schedule, I've set our daily requirements. Alex is required to practice his math and piano every day, and to complete some science and history work each week. He also has writing projects that we work on regularly. And, on some days, he has gymnastics, piano, or other lessons. That's it. Of course, he reads every day and works on his own projects just for fun." Read more here.
This is how Leah homeschools – "We homeschool for several reasons. Not being able to find any school of our religious conviction is one of them. Having gifted children another. Add to that our parenting style (attachment parenting) and holistic lifestyle and you'll understand that school just isn't an option for us." Read more here. (Note: Their eclectic/unschool curriculum is amazing. Check it out.)
This is how Tasha homeschools – "What is your educational level? I have a Master's degree in Educational Psychology and my husband has a Bachelor's degree in Psychology. Do you feel this has an effect on your teaching (both limits and abilities)? I think it gives me a very healthy skepticism about what "should" be required. There is an amazing difference between what is taught at the graduate level in Education and what is actually practiced in most schools. Educational psychology has a lot of powerful things to say about how individuals learn. Unfortunately, schools can not implement most of it, because each class is a herd, and the teacher can't spend much time with each individual. I find it interesting that what educational psychologist would term "best learning practices" can be very effectively implemented by home schoolers because of our very low student-teacher/mentor ratio." Read more here.
This is how Kristi homeschools – "What technique or curriculum do you use? We are eclectic. We use books, workbooks, the computer through games, educational cds and the internet, field trips, classes at libraries, museums and other places, and life in general. We also try to make sure there is plenty of unscheduled time for learning to just happen." Read more here.
This is how Karen homeschools – "Why do you homeschool? We began homeschooling in reaction to the education being offered at our local public school. Each of our children needed to homeschool for a different reason: Kat because of the psychological stressors occurring in her fifth-grade classroom and the lowering expectations of the girls in regards to academics, David because he needed more challenge than his second-grade classroom had to offer, especially in the science area, and Charles because his kindergarten class had too much violence occurring and we were concerned that he would gain the label of ADHD when he advanced to the more demanding level of attention that his upcoming first grade level would require. Those were the reasons we began homeschooling. They were not the reasons we continued homeschooling after the first year. Somewhere during that first year we began to realize how much the public school had taken over our lifestyle. Homeschooling afforded us the freedom to study what we wanted, when we wanted, where we wanted, and how we wanted. We were in control of our daily schedule and that was a wonderful feeling of freedom!" (Karen's response is very in depth and three pages long. Link to the rest is on the top right corner.)

Russia's Putin marks the Defender of the Fatherland Day
Russian President Vladimir Putin lays wreath on Defender of the Fatherland Day at Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, in tribute to war veterans and military achievements. Rough Cut (no reporter narration).
ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION) STORY: Russian President Vladimir Putin attended on Monday (February 23) a wreath laying ceremony in Moscow to mark the Defender of the Fatherland Day, an annual nationwide holiday that honours the nation's military achievements and its veterans. Putin paid tribute to war heroes at the observance ceremony held at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier, a memorial positioned by the Kremlin wall. The ceremony was held as Ukraine's military announced it could not start withdrawing heavy weapons from the front line in the east as required under a tenuous ceasefire because pro-Russian separatists who advanced last week were still attacking its positions.

I've never really been much of a movie guy.
I've always found the genre extremely predictable. The nerdy guy always gets the girl, something we know doesn't happen in real life. Good guys always win, sometimes via dubious methods. Seth Rogan shows up far too often, making some sort of marijuana joke. And so on.
I prefer sports. There's the potential for something amazing and unbelievable to happen every time you turn on a baseball game. Not every game will get you a mother f'ing bat flip, but at least there's potential for such a thing to happen. When was the last time you were truly shocked when watching a movie?
I will continue to go to the odd movie because my wife likes them and I like her (and popcorn. Mostly popcorn.). But I'm never going to be the guy who buys movies. I don't even get my money's worth on our Netflix subscription, and that's cheap as hell. At the rate I'm going, I won't get through That 70s Show until 2031.
I'm still pretty interested in the movie business though, a model that I think many investors could learn a thing or two from.
Invest like movies
You've probably noticed a trend over the last few years. It seems like there's always a movie playing about superheroes.
Back in the 80s and 90s, it was really only Batman and Superman movies that got made. Then Spiderman happened in the early-2000s, paving the way for Fantastic Four, Ironman, Captain America, Avengers, and other things us COOL KIDZ used to make fun of you for reading back in high school.
Honestly. Crack open a real book, nerd.
There's a reason why these movies continue to get made. They're pretty much guaranteed money makers. The studio makes them for about $75 million and they do $100-$150 million at the box office. The odd one flops, like Daredevil, but most do pretty good.
These are the movie industry's equivalent of blue chip stocks. They're boring, but they're proven to be successful.
Then there's the other movies studios green light. These range from weird things starring big name actors to neat concepts starring a bunch of relative unknowns. These movies don't cost much to produce and they tend to not get much attention. Most of them end up as giant flops.
But every now and again, one ends up being a huge hit. Paranormal Activity, a 2007 movie that was made to look like it was shot by a bunch of security cameras, cost $450,000 to make. That's pretty much the equivalent of a studio fishing the change out of one pocket. It ended up doing nearly $100 million in revenue, a return on investment of almost 20,000%.
The Blair Witch Project, a movie I've actually seen, had a budget of $60,000. It grossed $248 million worldwide. That's a return of…carry the one…a metric assload.
I don't want to make it sound like these movies are the norm, because they're not. For every Blair Witch Project and Paranormal Activity, there are thousands of movies that bombed so bad the director's mom didn't even watch them.
The reason why the system works is because the successes are so huge. If you make $1,000 for investing a dollar, you can throw money at a lot of failures and still make a decent profit.
How you can invest that way
There's no easy way for you to throw your money at something that can return 10,000% or 20,000%. As much as you think a penny stock is capable of that, it isn't.
What you can do is switch your mindset to focusing on what the cool kids call asymmetrical bets. Basically, you invest in things that might not have a huge chance of paying off, but if they do, you get paid handsomely.
I tried this back about 18 months ago when I invested in Penn West. I thought the company had great potential–provided the price of oil recovered. If crude ended up back somewhere near historical norms, I thought a 200% or 300% return was likely. If not, the most I could lose was 100% of my money. I called it coin flip investing.
This trade didn't work, and I got out a few months ago, losing a little more than 50% on the deal. You might scoff and call it a failure, but I don't. It was a small position (far below 1% of my portfolio), and I still got out of it with some capital intact.
I also learned a valuable lesson about not making that kind of bet on a company that has no pricing power. There was nothing Penn West could do except ask the flying spaghetti monster for help. That's not a successful business strategy. The idea was sound. It was just the implementation that was bad.
You don't have to just invest in stocks this way. You can start your own business, provided it's in something that has the ability to scale. I'm a freelance writer. Unless I start hiring out my work, it's not something that can get any bigger than the amount of time I put into it. But I do work for folks who have websites that can scale up.
You can also invest in something that somebody else can run. I do private mortgages. I know someone who has a gym. Rental property is another common choice. That doesn't scale as fast as a home run movie, but the nice thing is it's only marginally harder to run a four suite apartment building than an individual house.
Just remember, the majority of your portfolio shouldn't be in this stuff. Like with Hollywood, keep most of your holdings in the tried and true. Dedicate only a small portion of your portfolio to swinging for the fences.

The clock had just passed midnight. It was April 30, 2005 - seven years ago Monday - and an old Record war horse was ready for its proverbial swan song.
The clock had just passed midnight. It was April 30, 2005 - seven years ago Monday - and an old Record war horse was ready for its proverbial swan song.
The 49-year-old Goss Headliner press - 300 tons strong and as red as any Stockton fire engine - was about to print its final edition. The Record was opening a new production facility with a modern press.
But the Goss Headliner was being moody and ornery. It was not cooperating. There were a series of web breaks. There were other mechanical problems.
The old press was acting like Fido, who sensed he was about to make a trip to the veterinarian and therefore wouldn't get into the car.
Finally, at about 5 a.m. - three hours later than usual - the press came to a halt for a final time.
And now - piece by piece - the Goss Headliner is being dismantled by an extremely hard working three-man crew from an Illinois-based firm, Britton Services, which specializes in press removal. They've been at work for a couple of weeks and should be here several more.
And then it will be a bittersweet goodbye to an old newspaper friend. The Goss press was state-of-the-art when it was installed in 1956. By 2005, it was one of the few "letter press" presses left west of the Mississippi River.
Through its many, intricate working parts have flowed the ink that would chronicle five decades of history. The stories were local, national and international ... heartwarming and heartbreaking ... euphoric and tragic.
The Goss printed the news of presidential elections from Eisenhower to the second Bush. In fact, it was a presidential battle that left many of us here with one of the fond memories of the Goss machine.
In 2000, it looked as if George W. Bush was going to hold off Al Gore to win the presidency. Many of the television networks were calling the race for Bush.
At about 12:30 a.m., The Record went to press with a story headlined "It's Bush." But then came the news of problems in Florida. The race was too close to call.
It was my former boss, Jim Gold, who got to yell the words "Stop the press!" The Goss Headliner whined to a stop. The page was resent with the headline "Nailbiter."
Before heading home, a bunch of us went Dumpster diving for the 300 or so issues printed with the pre-mature headline. None of them made it to the street; one of them remains in my office.
I think of the many people who toiled for years - and decades - on the old press.
The venerable Albert "Bert" Smith is a local newspaper institution. The Goss press was the sixth in Record history and Bert had worked on all of them - starting in 1902 as a 14-year-old.
Record paper planner and staff historian Jack Jacobs detailed Bert's experiences in a column before our new production facility was constructed.
There are fond memories here of pressmen and production staff such as Joe Arnold. Elvin Minatre. Don Kappmeyer, John Kruger, Larry Lopez, Gene Moni ... and so many others.
They worked the machine that printed bylines of Bob Whittington, John Peri, Richard Marsh, Joan Ulrich Simpson, Marge Flaherty, Bill Cook, Tony Sauro, Lori Gilbert, Michael Fitzgerald, Calixtro Romias ... and so many others.
The Goss press printed the advertisements sold by Leo D'Orr, Fred Risso, Bob Rittler, Dave Chapman, Deitra Kenoly ... and so many others.
Time never stands still in the news business. This is, perhaps, more true now than it ever has been before.
Customer wants and needs change rapidly. And we change and adapt along with those wants and needs.
But it is never a mistake to pause to honor and respect the past.
The Goss Headliner is an intregal part of Record history.
It is leaving us in bits and pieces, forkliftful by forkliftful.
It will eventually be sold for scrap metal, but it is certainly not headed for the scrap heap in the minds and memories of generations of Record employees.

Semi-Permanent Sydney 2009 Montage from Semi Permanent on Vimeo.
Semi Permanent is a creative festival that happens in the land down under and they asked little old us to come and speak at their Melbourne event October 10th. I get ridiculously nervous about speaking in front of 20 people let alone 2000 but how could I turn down an amazing opportunity like this and a free trip to Australia! I'll get over it quickly. If you live in Australia please come and say hello or invite us for a drink, we're there for a week. So excited.
It was a great time, thanks to everyone who came out. Medicine Agency made a video we'll share soon, but for now here's Eli dancing as we hang the show.
Photos from the show can be seen HERE. Limited edition 'zines are still available as well as some prints. Stop by or call 415.829.8615 to order. Thanks.
We have a friend named Dallas Clayton, he wrote a book called ""An Awesome Book" that you should already own by now. We met Dallas years ago when he approached us at the Hollywood Farmer's Market and asked if we wanted to buy a copy of his 'zine. No one had asked us to buy a 'zine in ages so of course we said "of course". The 'zine was all about how he was about to have a baby w/ his girlfriend Shannyn and all the emotions and craziness that go along with finding out you are going to be a father. I fell in love with it and have read it multiple times. His son Audio (you may know him from such things as THIS, or maybe THIS) is now 6 and he's still writing things that make us proud to be friends, like his very awesome book. Dallas recently started the Awesome World Foundation and well…you should just watch this video to hear him tell his story, and then you should share it with the world. Good job Dallas.

11 Jan Where Are They Now: Dr. Bruce Banner
Lizabeth Cohen, the Dean of the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University, has announced today that Dr. Bruce Banner will no longer be the head of the psychology and human behavior department. Harvard, established in 1636, is the oldest higher education institution in the country — given it's rich history. they felt they needed someone to help them in a world that is changing drastically. "Mutants", "Miracles", "Meta-humans,", "Inhumans", or whatever you want to call them and Artificial Intelligence, or "A.I" walk among exist and walk among us. Given these drastic changes in society, the school felt that Dr Bruce Banner's insight and experience could lead the department in a positive direction, but things began to go wrong when they started researching anger. Cohen revealed how these beings can influence a person's anger through mind control.
Now before you judge Harvard too harshly, who can better understand anger better than Bruce Banner? He of all people knows the importance of controlling ones temper — who else can say, "Hey you won't like me when I'm angry,"… Well, Why? "Well I turn into a giant green rage monster than can snap you like a toothpick with a flick of my pinky and smash any and everything I come in contact with." Given those credentials, the Radcliffe Institute felt Banner could give insight on the importance of maintaining your cool when a scarlet witch is messing with your brain and an ancient scepter with a stone was effecting your moods, behavior, etc.
The incident that occurred that force Dean Cohen's decision was that a young research assistant with disdain for any and all Avengers began making rude and vulgar statements about Dr. Banner's personal life — how Betty Ross left him because of their love life (or lack there of) given his current condition and how Black Widow will eventually leave him to. Now what happened after that is still fuzzy, but it was reported the Hulk destroyed the whole left wing of the lab. The whole building had to be evacuated and the city Cambridge was on lock down for 7 hours. Luckily, the young research assistant is shockingly still alive, but will be eating out of a tube for the next six months given every bone in his body is broken. Tony Stark has agreed to pay for the damages and the young research assistant is also not pressing any charges because he doesn't think it's a good idea to make Dr. Banner angry again.

text: The week went by way too fast and I now understand why so many people insist on taking two weeks instead of just one. One week is definitely not enough! I really needed a break though, I was really run down. I was so exhausted that I didn't even knit a single stitch while I was away. I brought only one sock in progress to work on, but spent all of my time reading, sunning, swimming, hammock-ing, eating, cocktail-ing and playing instead. A week away from real life is always great, now I'm back in Montreal and really ready to tackle my work! This morning Chris and I went to Home Depot and to Ikea and were home before noon, now to set up the apartment and hopefully et the place looking like a home rather then a storage space by the end of the day! Wish us luck!

Backbone Radio with Matt Dunn - April 30, 2017 - HR 2
Is it time for Speaker Paul Ryan to step aside? As we observe the second unraveling of a Ryan attempt to replace Obamacare -- alongside his last-minute pulling of funds for the Border Wall -- we assess disturbing patterns of incompetence from the Republican Speaker of the House. We listen to Ann Coulter's pointed criticisms and wonder aloud whether Ryan will be able to get his act together. The clock is ticking. Meanwhile, we visit with Paterfamilias John Andrews on President Trump's first 100 Days in office. How has Trump handled the "worst headwinds" an incoming president has faced since Abraham Lincoln? How may Trump's "character" be tested in the uncertain future of our divided America? Will the "fundamental decency" of the American people help restrain the growing extremism of the Intolerant Left? Also, Secretary John Kelly of the Department of Homeland Security unveils a first-ever "Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement" office. A most welcome development, giving long overdue "VOICE" to an overlooked American population. With Listener Calls & Music via AC/DC, John Lennon, Rihwa, Michelle Branch and Patsy Cline.

GROOVE dance classes
Deep down we ALL would love to have the ability to move our body confidently and creatively to music. YOU CAN… when you do it YOUR way.
Dance is part of being human. our bodies were designed for movement.
When we restrict and limit our movement expression due to what others may think about it, it prevents us from experiencing the fullest potential of our bodies. The truth is we were born to dance. We are all great dancers when we aren't trying to copy or mimic someone else's dance. The way YOUR body wants to move to a given piece of music is the right way.
The GROOVE Method, created by Misty Tripoli, is more than an exercise class. It is pure dance therapy. Sure you will get your heart rate up and tone your body from this class. You will sweat and you will get stronger and more agile. But you will also have more fun and experience more movement freedom than you ever have before.
the five groove truths that will liberate your body and mind are:
- NO ONE CARES WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE. And if they do, it's their problem. (And pretty sad if you ask me…)
- YOUR WAY IS THE RIGHT WAY. You absolutely cannot get this class wrong if you show up fully and give it your best. Let your body's intelligence and creativity surprise you.
- NO ONE CAN DO IT FOR YOU. Your health, your choices and they way you feel are totally up to you. You get what you put into GROOVE.
- YOU SHOULD LOOK DIFFERENT. If you are truly dancing and not copying, you should look like an individual.
- ALL OF THESE IDEAS ARE GREAT UNTIL PUT INTO PRACTICE. You can't possibly understand what it is to liberate your body and mind until you've shown up to give it a try.

I will be putting the stock 19s on it next week and would like to find a home for these. I have tried to be clear on the condition. There is a little rash on each of the wheels, I have been told they can be easily cleaned up and repaired to look much better if not new. From a distance it is not noticeable and for me they are fine. The car has just under 17k miles, and I was told the tires were all replaced at around 9k. As you can see the tread is probably about 50% worn. The ride is firm and smooth. From what I can tell and feel the car is in alignment and balanced. I will not be including the TPMS as I am using them on my new set. Please feel free to ask questions, they will be available after Dec 6th and want to move them out ASAP so lets get them gone. See my comment below. If you act fast you can either purchase them before refurbish, or negotiate a price including the refurbish. I will relist them with pictures once done in about 1 week.

Welsh Castle's by Ciais MathieuPar AMG-ESAIP-Grasse06 dans Articles le 6 Avril 2014 à 20:53
The Castles are an important historic place in Wales,
During my journey I could visit four different castles. There are different with their architecture, mode of manufacturing and the main function.
First, I visited Beaumaris castle in the isle of Anglesey, it was built in 1295, but it never was finish after 35 years because of the war against Scothland. It is one of many castles which were building during the conquest of Wales by the England king Edouard the first to impose his domination at the country. So this castle is not very large and very accommodating to receive a noble but for the war it's was sufficient.
Secondly, Conwy Castle, it is another castle which was built between 1283 and 1289, during the conquest of Edouard the first, Conwy with his medieval past is an important touristic place in the north of Wales.
Thirdly, Caslte coch, is a 19th-century Gothic Revival castle built on the remains of a genuine 13th-century fortification. It is situated on a steep hillside high above the village of Tongwynlais, to the north of Cardiff in Wales, and is a Grade I listed building as from 28 January 1963. It's was the property of the 3th Marquess of Butes the last lord who reigned in Cardiff and surroundings.
And to finish this article, Cardiff Castle, it was the most important place in Wales; it is dividing in two parts, one part for the accommodation of the Lord reigning and the second part for the military place. Historically speaking it's this castle which is the most important in Wales because it had known and undergoing all the barbarian or English conquest in the past.

So after a couple of weeks with it, I really like the phone. This is the first time I've put a case on a phone and I haven't decided 100% if I I'm going to keep it on or not. I'm used to it now so I'll probably just keep it on because the thinness makes the phone feel too fragile IMO.
iOS 8 out of the box was pretty buggy but the last update seems to have fixed a lot of quirks I had.
Overall I really like the phone but as someone who went from a 5S to a 6, this was just a bigger screen. I get that they don't expect people to upgrade their phone every year, but this really might be their worst upgrade ever IMO.
It's a great phone overall though. You wont be disappointed.

Achieving better goods quality and yield through automated vision has now become widely used for process control in many industries. Inspecting glass materials early in fabrication when manufactured objects are still hot is offering many benefits starting by a lower cost of rework if defaults are detected. The control of temperature uniformity during forming and cooling, the detection of defects (cracks, breakage, tamper, contaminant, chips) is essential to ensure quality, reproducibility and manufacturing efficiency. The hot glass inspection addresses numerous demanding markets (food packaging & beverages, pharmaceutical, building, …) in various forms such as bottle, packaging, tube. Generally characterized by high speed cadence, the hot glass inspection requires global shutter imagers.
Short Wave InfraRed (SWIR) cameras based upon InGaAs imagers work in a reflective imaging mode (like visible) and at the same time in detection mode of infrared radiation emitted by hot objects (>250°C). With a spectral response from 900-1700nm, they are particularly well adapted for hot glass inspection. Indeed, glass being transparent in this band, user can image through glass with details in the bulk and on both faces at the same time. SWIR cameras allows also non contact relative or absolute (if radiometrically calibrated) temperature measurement above 250°C up to 1800°C.
NIT WDR SWIR technology brings great beneftis for hot end glass inspection :
- Spatial Wide Dynamic Range : Ability to image very large temperature gradient within the bottle leading to better control of very hot thin surfaces
- Temporal Wide Dynamic Range: Instantaneous adaptation of the bottle radiation, smart gain adjustment, no need of comlex post processing algorithm to adapt to each bottle leading to a more reliable and faster process
- Very low consumption SWIR camera (<2W) and very compact

Grey Sovereign – A *Nasrullah of Another Color
The Eternal Search
Today's main bloodline search, it seems, is for an "outcross". Of course as we have repeated so many times, no such thing actually exists in the modern Thoroughbred.
However, we do have some refreshing branches of existing bloodlines which seem to take on a life of their own. Such bloodlines act as balancing acts, outcross or not, to the incessant Native Dancer inbreeding which has so weakened the breed.
In all honesty, about the only other major sire line besides Northern Dancer and Raise a Native that remains is *Nasrullah. To say that selling off so much of our good Halo blood (generally to Japan) was an error is the kindest way we can think of to avoid the word "stupid". If that had not happened, we might also be able to add *Royal Charger to *Nasrullah, but as usual more people were thinking of sales than of the future, so we sadly cannot.
*Nasrullah, of course, is held up largely by Bold Ruler's great-grandson Seattle Slew and his son A.P. Indy. This all by itself has a lopsided look. A.P. Indy has been a good sire, but one would prefer to see a few sons more typical of Slew in type, like Capote and Slew City Slew represented by good sons. Yet there seems to be some prejudice against them, for what possible reason we cannot imagine.
More *Nasrullah strength remains via Red God/Blushing Groom, most recently via champion sprinter Cherokee Run. And then there is the rebirth of the wonderful Grey Sovereign line.
Odd Horse Out
Grey Sovereign, a brilliant Chef-de-Race, should have been a natural to establish a strong sire line in the U. S. However, he did run in Europe, and Americans seem to have a natural prejudice against "grass horses" (they forget that *Nasrullah, *Royal Charger, Lyphard, Nureyev and any number of others ran in Europe).
The handsome Grey Sovereign came upon the racing scene just a year after his three-quarter brother, Nimbus, won the Epsom Derby. Their dam Kong, a grey mare by the grey Baytown, inherited his stand-out coat color right down his female line from the mare Queen Herodias by the grey The Tetrarch.
Since The Tetrarch is such a source of speed, it is intriguing that Nimbus, a chestnut, did not pass on as much "lick" as Grey Sovereign. The grey descendents (such as Mumtaz Mahal) tended to beget the speed of The Tetrarch, which is worth knowing.
Kong's pedigree is also worthy of mention. Her dam Clang by Hainult (a half brother to Phalaris) was inbred to full siblings Sainfoin and Sierra and to half siblings La Fleche and Maid Marian, and overall she had a double of Canterbury Pilgrim via Chaucer and Swynford. Like most mares of her time (Kong was a foal of 1933), she was linebred to St. Simon.
Temper, Temper
Like many *Nasrullah's, Grey Sovereign was at times a handful. His temperament may have compromised his racing career, but he nonetheless won the important Richmond Stakes at Goodwood and also placed in the Coventry, Challenge and Nunthorpe (Sweep) Stakes.
He ran only through the end of his four-year-old season and retired at the end of 1952. From that time forward, he enjoyed full books of mares almost immediately at Derisley Wood Stud, Newmarket, where he stood as the property of Mr. J. K. Measures.
Major Contributions
The best offspring of Grey Sovereign are most certainly worth a mention. They include English and Irish champion two-year-old *Young Emperor, a horse you may remember from our story on Reine-de-Course Jayjean. *Young Emperor is the sire of Irule, dam of champion Sookera, she dam of stakes winners Field Dancer, So Factual and Bold Fact.
Other daughters of *Young Emperor include Sovereign Lady, dam of Great Lady M., she dam of Horse of the Year Lady's Secret and Old Goldie, dam of major winners Lot O'Gold and Golden Derby.
Then there is champion two-year-old filly *La Tendress, who produced only one foal. But that foal was Prince Tenderfoot, winner of the Coventry Stakes and a sire of stakes winners like Icing (Hoover Fillies Mile) and Lady Blackfoot (placed in the Phoenix Sprint and later dam of the excellent miler Labeeb.)
Other top runners include champion English sprinter Matatina, dam of New Chapter (Irish Sweeps Lincoln H.) and top Japanese runner Sunny Ciboulette (JPN). Also of note is second highweighted two-year-old Queensberry, dam of the top class Cranberry Sauce (winner of the Nell Gwyn, Sun Chariot, and Pretty Polly Stakes and second in the Yorkshire Oaks.) And there is French 2000 Guineas winner Don, out of Diviana by *Toulouse Lautrec, who after a good start at stud in Europe was exported to Japan.
Another good son of Grey Sovereign who would become a fine sire is Sovereign Path (second leading sire in England in 1970). Sovereign Path was basically a miler and won four stakes including the Lockinge and Queen Elizabeth Stakes and placed in eight others.
Sovereign Path's major winners include Wolver Hollow, winner of the Eclipse Stakes and placed in four other important events, and sire himself of champion and classic winner (Two Thousand Guineas) Wollow.
Our all-time favorite of Grey Sovereign sons is the late Zeddaan. A French 2000 Guineas winner, Zeddaan gave us such luminaries as Kalamoun, also a French 2000 winner, and sire of Kalaglow (Brigadier Gerard, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth [Diamond] Stakes, etc. and the wonderful Kenmare, winner of the Prix Thomas Bryon and sire of fine sire Highest Honor, French 2000 Guineas winner Kendor and Vert Amande, winner of the Prix Maurice De Nieuil and third in the Arc (to Subotica and the great mare User Friendly).
So basically, we were talking about a sire of wonderful milers, at least in Europe. And a male line that seemed to excel in the French 2000 Guineas.
But what about American runners by Grey Sovereign? Well, there is *Merry Ruler, winner of the Swift and Bayshore Stakes and the Toboggan, Gravesend and Carter Handicaps and second in the Metropolitan Mile (to champion Carry Back). *Merry Ruler, a gelding, ran 64 times and won 20 of his starts and placed in 22 others.
Then there is American runner *Grey Monarch who won the Saratoga Special, and Jockey Club Handicap and who won or placed in 30 other stakes including the Florida Derby and Travers Stakes. Also a tough fellow, *Grey Monarch made 83 starts, won 13 and placed in 32 others. Moving right along, we have the U. S. raced Willowick, a colt out of *Teresa Negro by *Ribot who won the San Fernando Stakes at Santa Anita and placed in several other stakes including the San Felipe Handicap. He lasted 32 starts.
There are more examples, but these few will serve to illustrate that the Grey Sovereigns ran just as well in the U. S. as they did abroad and that they were productive once at stud, also.
Besides, the cold, hard totals speak for themselves: 20 crops with only 418 foals. But of those 418, 48 won stakes and 40 others placed in them. That's a 10% and 11% strike rate. Grey Sovereign was pure quality.
And Excellent Daughters
One of our all-time favorite quotes from the late Hall-of-Fame trainer P. G. Johnson concerned his claiming a Grey Sovereign mare sight unseen. When someone questioned the wisdom of his not seeing the horse in the flesh before laying his money down, P. G. said, "I don't care if she looks like a giraffe, she's a Grey Sovereign. How often do I get a chance to own one of those?"
Of course, P. G. had a good reason for his high opinion of Grey Sovereign daughters. One of them, Grey Table, had produced his $472,837 stakes winner Quiet Little Table, a multiple graded stakes winner who upset Forego in the 1977 Suburban Handicap.
In our opinion, all truly great sires have not only good runners, but good sire sons and good broodmare daughters. Grey Sovereign's daughters most certainly did not let him down.
Again, the numbers are compelling: His daughters produced 75 stakes winners and 73 stakes placed runners. A lower percentage (6% on both counts) than his numbers as a sire, but then his is a sire line which is more powerful from the top line than the bottom.
Among the top produce of his daughers are the above-mentioned Quiet Little Table, Aunt May (Yorkshire Oaks, second in the Epsom Oaks), Stintino (Criterium De Saint-Cloud, Prix Lupin, etc.), *Tudor Grey (Great Surrey S., 2nd July S.), Piamem (Fall Highweight H.), Hail the Grey (Santa Barbara H., etc.), Gems and Roses (Sheepshead Bay H., G2, etc.), Mummy's Pet (Hyperion, Norfolk S., etc.), Parsimony (July Cup, Cork And Orrery S.), Recupre (Prix Du Cadran, G1, Seneca H. etc.), King of Macedon (champion sprinter in France), and Smeralda, second dam of the brilliant filly miler Royal Heroine (G1).
From a recent printout, it is clear that the daughters of Grey Sovereign were not always in the best hands. Some were sent to foreign countries with lesser sires, others to regional breeding programs in the U. S. where their owners had no idea what to do with them. In spite of that, they gave more than most might have under such conditions, and they are a credit to him.
A Top Stallion
So Grey Sovereign had every right to succeed and he has every right to still be around. His sire line filters down to most American runners via Caro-Cozzene and via Caro-Siberian Summer.
In other parts of the world, the Kalamoun blood is still around via Tony Bin (Japan), via Sovereign Path – Wolver Hollow (England) and Don (Italy and Japan). We certainly wish there was more of it, but what remains is generally of the highest quality.
For example, the Grey Sovereign blood – though there is less of it than most – has had a profound impact on the Breeders' Cup. Cozzene, of course, won the Breeders' Cup Mile and he has sired two Breeders' Cup winners, Classic victor Alphabet Soup, now a successful sire and Turf winner Tikkanen.
Then there is Caro's other fine sire son, With Approval, who was recently exported to Great Britain. With Approval was a Canadian Triple Crown winner who was never really appreciated in this country, nor was his son Talkin Man, who sired Better Talk Now, upset winner of the 2004 Breeders' Cup Turf. Talkin Man is now at stud in Ireland, so the With Approval branch of Caro is now at risk in the U. S.
The other major branch of Grey Sovereign that appears to be very strong indeed is that of California sire In Excess (IRE) by Caro's son Siberian Express. Though he was possessed of an unfamiliar pedigree, In Excess has the type lineage that fits almost every line and cross imaginable and in spite of passing on a great deal of unsoundness to his offspring – none of them last long – they all can run.
In Excess' best-known sire son, Indian Charlie, is typical of his get. He lasted only five starts but during that brief time on the track he won a G1 (the Santa Anita Derby) and managed to run third in the Kentucky Derby behind double classic winner Real Quiet and eventual Belmont winner Victory Gallop). If you only have a few starts in you, might as well make 'em count.
Indian Charlie is off to an excellent start at stud and he nearly got a Santa Anita Derby winner himself, when Indian Express just missed in the 2003 renewal. He does have a son due to go to stud, Bwana Charlie, a G2 winner who, like Indian Express, is out of a Halo mare. Indian Express is also retired and is now at stud in Florida.
A Wondrous Mixture
When Caro, the source of all this class, first came to the U. S., there were many skeptics. Despite the speed of the Grey Sovereign line and despite Caro's sire, Fortino II, being a very fast sprinter, breeders looked at his overall pedigree and said, "Grass." And of course Caro himself ran on the grass, winning the French 2000 Guineas like so many of his tribe. But Caro was something more.
He was less precocious than some Grey Sovereigns, and was only stakes placed at two, and while he won his classic at three, he ran on at four. In fact, he had his best year as a four-year-old and was crowned the champion of his age and sex when he won the Prix Ganay, Prix d'Harcourt, and Prix Dollar and placed in the Eclipse Stakes and Prix Foy.
The majority of his stamina, of course, came to him via his tail-female line (he traces to Black Duchess) and with names like Precipitation, Hurry On, Bachelor's Double and Solario in the mix, he could hardly have been a mere sprinter. Yet perhaps his most intriguing cross was a double of Nogara via Nearco and Nervesa that occurred in the pedigree of his sire. In fact, *Fortino II is tail-female to Nogara, something well worth noting.
As a matter of fact, *Fortino II was one of the strangest mixes we've discussed for a long time. There is *Nasrullah/Grey Sovereign on top, then Man o' War and Padua come in via Relic, his broodmare sire, to give him some American flavor. Add the German inbreeding to the broodmare Hollebeck via half siblings Olba and Oretello and the Tesio flavor via Nogara, which is Italian, and one has a true international horse.
Grey Sovereign, of course, brings in that Hainault line, so Phalaris x2/Hainault appears overall and Fortino II carries a treble of Havresac II, two from Nogara and one via the German sire Orsenigo. Given the type horse most Germans favor (and the presence of solid Chef Oleander) as Orsenigo's sire, there was a bit of stamina in Fortino II, too.
So there you have it – a unique *Nasrullah line and one that appears to be hanging on. Cozzene left us Mizzen Mast but In Excess via Uncle Mo rules the day in America, and looks to become the Domino of Grey Sovereign *Nasrullahs, and with more than one to keep the line alive. Further, there is Highest Honor in France, as well as Dunkerque and Silver Frost.
Long live the "good grey blood."

Two high sheriffs are to meet up at their county borders - all in a good cause.
The High Sheriff of Bedfordshire, the Countess of Erroll, will be meeting Jonathan Trower, the Hertfordshire High Sheriff, at the two counties' border near Ashwell and Eyeworth on Saturday, September 12.
The two law officers will be riding bicycles, on behalf of the Beds and Herts Historic Churches Trust (BHHCT), for the annual Bike 'n' Hike fundraiser.
The two sheriffs have nominated the BHHCT as charities to support this year, acknowledging the importance to towns and villages throughout their counties of a wonderful heritage of outstanding church buildings and the need to keep them in good shape.
The Bike 'n Hike has been organised for more than 20 years by the trust, and trustee in charge is Madeline Russell, who welcomed the involvement of the High Sheriffs.
She said: "I am delighted they are taking part. They will be riding alongside hundreds of sponsored riders and walkers visiting more than 600 churches and chapels which are throwing their doors open to visitors. Many churches will be offering refreshment and a chance for a break.
"It is all great fun but there is a serious side. Last year we raised nearly £110,000 in a day which was marvellous. Half of the money is passed back to churches nominated by participants and the other half, including gift aid, is retained by the trust to give out as grants to churches or chapels of many denominations struggling to fund expensive repairs.
"The chances are that wherever you are in either county, you will be near to a church which has benefited from the help we have been able to offer."
The role of High Sheriff is the oldest secular office in England, as with many of our churches, its origin goes back to Saxon times. High Sheriffs support the judiciary, police and public services as well as being involved with other aspects of life in the wider community.
Anyone can join in the Bike 'n Hike. Visit www.bedshertshct.org.uk

A Family Law P
Frequently Asked Child Custody Questions in
Orange County
California looks to the best interest of the children
when making a custody determination
Legal Custody
The parent with legal custody has the right to make legal decisions. Legal decisions affect many areas of a child's life including medical doctors, schooling, and religion.
Physical Custody
Physical custody is the ability of parents to spend time with the child. Joint physical custody means that the parents will both have significant time with the child.
Custody Factors
The court presumes that both parties are fit and will award the parents custody based upon the health, safety and welfare of the minor child.
Visitation is liberally granted unless one parent is proved in court to be unfit. Unfitness will be found if the child is in danger or neglected.
Move Away
After a divorce, a custodial parent may need to move from Orange County. If this is the case, the moving parent should notify the other parent of the move in writing.
After a divorce is entered, custody can be changed if there has been a change in circumstances. The moving party can file a motion for a modification of custody.
Frequent Contact
If one parent cannot foster continuing contact between the minor child and the other parent, the other parent may be awarded custody in a custody dispute.
Primary Caretaker
The parent who was the primary caretaker of the minor child during the marriage is more likely to obtain more visitation in a divorce.
What is the Purpose of the UCCJEA?
What is the UCCJEA?
What is the purpose of the UCCJEA?
Is the UCCJEA important in my case?
The UCCJEA is the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act. The act begins at
California Family Code Section 3400
and applies to interstate custody disputes.
The purpose of the UCCJEA is to prevent forum shopping--one parent moving to a different state with the hopes that the custody case will be more favorable in the new state.
If you file a custody case in California, the UCCJEA is relevant. In the order for custody, the judge must make a finding that the minor child's home state is the state of California.
What happens if after a judgment in California is entered, my children and I move to a different state?
If I live in California, but my spouse and kids do not live in California, can I file for custody in California?
In what circumstances does a California court have jurisdiction of custody?
When one parent moves to a different state and has custody, California will continue to have jurisdiction over custody issues which means that any modifications in custody will be heard in California unless California relinquishes jurisdiction.
Even if a parent of a minor child lives in the State of California, California does not automatically have the ability--also known as jurisdiction--to make an order regarding custody. If the minor child lives outside of the State of California, the California court may not determine the best interest of the minor child as to visitation, because California is not the home state of the child.
California Family Code §3402
requires a child to live in the home state consecutively for six months before the state has jurisdiction to enter an order on a child custody matter.
California can exercise jurisdiction over child custody matters in three instances:
California is the minor child's home state,
the child's home state does not have jurisdiction, or
the home state declined jurisdiction in favor of California.
What Does the Court Consider When it Analyzes the Best Interest of the Minor Child?
Best interest includes the health, safety, and welfare of the minor children. The court determines whether the children will be cared for in a safe environment, and remain healthy in both parents' homes. If the needs of the children--such as regular health care, completed home work, and school attendance--will be met at both parents' home, the court is more likely to give both parents an equal timeshare. However, if one of the parents cannot meet those needs, then the children are more suitable in the other parent's home, and the court will order visitation accordingly.
Do the Courts Favor Women in Custody Battles?
Many believe that the best interest approach is based upon which parent is the better person. However, there is a presumption that it is in the best interest of the minor children to have both parents involved in the minor children's lives.
What is Physical Custody in California?
What is Legal Custody in Orange County
California Family Code §3003
states that parents who have been awarded joint legal custody have the "right and the responsibility to make the decisions relating to the health, education, and welfare" of the minor child. Joint legal custody may allow parents to jointly determine legal decisions for the minor child.
If a court orders joint legal custody, it does not mean that all decisions have to be unanimous.
California Family Code §3083
requires the court to specify which decisions the parents must make jointly and the consequence for the failure to make those decisions jointly. If the court does not do so, then either party may act alone.
If an Orange County Court orders the parties to have joint physical custody, it does not mean that the parties each have equal custody, it merely means that both parties have substantial visitation. Usually if one parent has little or no visitation with the minor child, then the other parent will have sole physical custody. If a parent has sole physical custody, he or she may make decisions such as the right to move the child away from the local area. However, even in those situations, the other parent must receive adequate notice in order to challenge the move-away in court.
Medical Records and Custody
If my spouse is mentally unfit, can I subpoena his or her medical records?
One parent may attempt to access the other parent's medical records to show that the other parent is unfit to raise the minor children. A request for records can include not only medical records, but also a request for therapy session records. The difficulty lies, however, in the fact that both the doctor's records and the therapist's records are protected by the doctor-patient privilege. If the parent holding the privilege does not waive the doctor-patient privilege or put his or her mental status "at issue," the court will usually not allow the release of the medical records or the therapist's records. The privilege can only be waived by the party holding the privilege. If it is not waived, then the other parent cannot get access to the records.
