Like a stock investor, you will find several valuation tools that help you in choosing the best stocks for inclusion inside your portfolio. Balancing your portfolio by including a combination of growth and cost stocks enables you to definitely minimize risk while still making the most of your potential gain. True diversification of the investment portfolio is a result of the proper inclusion of both growth and cost stocks within the proper amounts.
Regardless of what your particular investment goals, selecting the best stocks for the portfolio can be done by using proper valuation techniques. To be able to choose the best stocks you must have a great knowledge of what ultimately will get growth and cost stocks place into their particular groups.
While you will find no absolute rules for categorizing growth and cost stocks you will find some broad definitions which most traders agree. Though you will find a couple of stocks that fall nearer to the road between both of these broad definitions, most can be simply classified into either.
The objective of growth trading would be to select a stock inside a growing company which has a high possibility of ongoing growth. Value trading focuses more about buying stocks which are presently underrated on the market and which therefore possess a lower cost. These value stocks can increase considerably in value when the market makes corrections to mirror their value.
Growth Stocks Defined
Although traders possess some different techniques for identifying why is a good growth stock, all definitions typically range from the following qualities.
A higher rate of growth, both in the past and forecasted. Whenever you think about growth stocks historic performance, you'll need to consider how big the organization that issues the stock. More compact companies must have a historic rate of growth of ten or even more percent during the period of a minimum of the final 5 years. Bigger companies must have an historic rate of growth of approximately five and 7 percent within the same period of time.
Forecasts for company growth should measure to or exceed those of the stocks historic performance.
The organization should have a superior return on equity (ROE) measure. Opt for evaluating the companys ROE to that particular of other stocks within the same industry during the period of a minimum of a 5 year period. A rise stocks ROE will rank considerably greater than average among its industry.
Value Stocks Defined
Some traders result in the mistake of convinced that cheap stocks are value stocks, much more reality something stock may have a hefty cost. Why is a value stock is its positioning inside the current stock exchange a positioning which doesn't reflect the real worth of the stock itself.
Listed here are a couple of from the generally recognized measures for identifying why is a value stock.
The present cost earnings ratio (P/E) from the stock ought to be within the cheapest 10 % of companies in the industry.
The cost to earnings growth ratio (PEG) ought to be under 1 %, which really signifies the stock is underrated. Dont mistake this measure for inadequate growth potential.
The organization giving the stock should hold assets that are a minimum of two times its current liabilities and really should have equity which is equivalent to, otherwise more than, its debt.

Break the bank for Dez?
Hi all.
Does Jerry break the bank(if the cap allows) or play hard ball and let him leave if he does not agree.
After seeing him live on Sunday would love to see him stay.
Great question.
It all depends on what he wants. A little bit of salary chatter to set the scene, the top avg/year for WR's are:
Calvin Johnson - $16,207,143
Larry Fitz - $16,142,857
Percy Harvin - $12,849,000
Mike Wallace - £12,000,000
Dwayne Bowe - $11,200,000
Vincent Jackson - $11,111,111
Brandon Marshall - $10,000,000
Jordy Nelson - $9,762,500
The 'Total Guaranteed' in all those contracts bar Calvin Johnson (he gets $48.75m) ranges from $11.5m (Nelson) to $27m (Fitz & Wallace). The Wallace, Bowe and Jackson deals look pricey imo.
So look at the recent Nelson and Marshall deals. Now Nelson has Rodgers throwing to him, but he's still good. He got a 4 year extension, at age 29, which was more or less $40m over 4 years, with $11.5m signing bonus. Brandon Marshall, 3yr/$30m, got almost half his money guaranteed, Nelson closer to 30%.
Dez is 26. He's never been the fastest, so as he gets older you don't have to worry about his loss of speed affecting him as much as others. He's in his prime (as long as the back issues are behind him, pardon the pun). So what's Dez worth? He's better than Wallace, Bowe and Jackson, but those deals are crazy. Something around the $11m/year mark would be good imo.
What would i offer.......
6 year, $65m, with $24m guaranteed. That's an avg of $10.83m/yr. Keep the numbers pretty even from year to year salary cap permitting, $12m signing bonus, and $3m guaranteed over each of the first 4 years. The cap will go up, but we don't want to place ourselves back in 'cap hell' if we need to cut ties for any reason.
*I expect Dez would be looking at $12m+/yr. My offer would be laughed at, especially given current/future WR contracts. I think 6yr/$85m/$35m guaranteed would be closer to it. Although that's starting to get a little pricey for my tastes.
Last edited by RichardCunliffe; 12.11.2014 at 09:00 PM.
Dez's comment on Wednesday according to ESPN:
"It's all about respect. It's all about respect," Bryant said Wednesday. "I am a very loyal person, but just don't test my loyalty."
Don't test my loyalty? This will get expensive. It surely won't take $15m/year..........would it?! Its hard to let a guy in his prime go, but where is the line? I don't imagine he'd take too kindly to being 'tagged'. Terrance Williams is a #2 WR, so if he left we'd be left with very little. Better the devil you know than the devil you don't?
Well, if you let him go then who do you replace him with?
And how much will a replacement of his calibre cost?
Does anyone know who may potentially be available next season?
So many questions...
"Don't test my loyalty" equals "Don't try and under-pay me just because I love this team". Fair play to Dez. If you want a WR of his quality and age on your team for the next 10 years, it ain't gonna be cheap!
Agree. Cowboys should stick with what they have and pay the going rate. Suppose I should ask you all the same question about Murray?
The problem is the future salary cap jumps mean any figures out there today will become below market value before too long. That's the issue with all this, throw in the bloated contracts of some WR's who went to needy teams, like Mike Wallace and the Dolphins, and it's a nightmare I expect.
The 10 year thing is nonsense though. Dez ain't playing for the Cowboys when he's 37, never mind on the fairy tail contract numbers that a 10 year contract would give him in 2023/24.
Romo's cap number next year is $27,773,000
Henry Melton will be $9,250,250 if they 'activate' the remainder of his contract.
Doug Free will need to rework his $11,020,000 cap number.
Brandon Carr?.........$12,717,000.
You get the picture.
If they let Dez go they would be stupid as he attracts so much attention and he is a part of the Cowboy branding already. He could be another Michael Irvin in years to come and look what he has done for the Cowboys along with Troy Aikman and Emmitt Smith.
Murry is such a down to earth player that just wants to play football at the moment but he will want paying a big sum with the success he is bringing to the team at the end off the season (i.e. the Superbowl).
If these players don't get good contracts then there will be teams bending over backwards to have them in their team.
I don't think teams will be tripping over themselves to sign Murray to mega money, especially coming off a near 400 carry season. Don't get me wrong, he'll get a 'good' contract, either in Dallas or elsewhere, but all those carries, his fumble issues, and his lack of break away speed will keep the cost down. Plus, the draft has several good RB's this year it seems.
Dez won't go anywhere. He'll get tagged if they don't sort a contract. I get the feeling Dez won't be too happy about being tagged, so it could get 'interesting' to say the least.

Wattbike has introduced an interesting new feature called the Pedalling Effecitveness Score that gives you a real-time visual measure of your pedal stroke, allowing you to adjust your technique as you ride.
Wattbike indoor bike trainers already have a Polar View feature that gives you a visual profile of the force you apply while pedalling. The Pedalling Effectiveness Score builds on that, the idea being that you can immediately assess the effect of changes in your pedalling technique.
Wattbike's Pedalling Effectiveness Score is inspired by the index of force effectiveness (IFE) which is an existing way of expressing mechanical efficiency during pedalling. IFE compares the gross force – the total force applied to the pedal – and the net force – the component of force that is tangential to the chainset. In other words, it gives the proportion of force you put out that actually goes towards creating torque and turning the chainrings.
Pedalling Effectiveness Score is calculated from Wattbike's 100Hz force data as you ride. After measuring your net force and predicting your gross force, the Pedal Effectiveness Score function displays a real-time pedal stroke graphic alongside a target score graphic, including a colour-coded breakdown for each leg. This information is intended to provide the basis for adjusting your pedal technique until you're cycling efficiently.
Check out 15 of the best turbo trainers and rollers here.
"The metric is based on understanding the relationship between gross and net force during pedalling," says Wattbike. "The Pedalling Effectiveness Score maps changes in pedalling efficiency to provide a highly informative and useful measure that helps drive performance. The result: you see a visual representation of how adjustments in your pedalling can change your cycling efficiency in real-time."
"Through spending a lot of time researching and understanding pedalling effectiveness and pedalling efficiency, we were able to create the Pedalling Effectiveness Score which enables us to bring a very complex value into very meaningful day-to-day number for use in training," says Wattbike's Dr Barney Wainwright.
"Results include people who have changed their Functional Threshold Power by 10/20/30 watts, or riders who can now go up a series of hills that they weren't able to before, because now they have a more effective stroke. Pedalling efficiency is a very important aspect of cycling performance, which is often overlooked, and the Pedalling Effectiveness Score maps that and tracks it."
So what's the secret to the perfect pedal stroke?
"To pedal optimally, a different focus is placed on each portion of the pedal stroke," says Barney. He breaks it down into four key stages (numbered in the graphics below).
1: From the top of the pedal stroke the pedal is pushed forwards.
2: Shortly after this, a powerful downwards push starts through the middle part of the pedal stroke.
3: As the pedal approaches the bottom of the pedal stroke, the pedal is pulled backwards.
4: During the return part of the stroke there is a light upwards pull.
The "light upwards pull" is interesting in that some researchers have suggested this in the past while others have suggested simply unweighting the pedal and still others have said that pulling up on the pedals compromises the ability to maximise power at the 3 o'clock/ 9 o'clock position and have advised against it.
"When executed well, each phase merges into the next, creating a powerful and efficient pedalling style," says Barney.
Find out how we got on when we borrowed a Wattbike for a few weeks.
How exactly do you transition from pushing forwards to driving downwards, to pulling backwards and finally to pulling upwards? We guess that's where hiring/buying a Wattbike comes in. There's always a catch, huh?
With the capabilities that many power meters have, you can expect more developments in pedal stroke analysis in the near future.

Don't you know there is no such thing as a free lunch? Nothing is free! No, not even sleep. Sleeping has an opportunity cost of not playing or working associated with it. Yes sleep is a necessary part of life, as is eating, which again isn't free. Yup, life isn't free. If you don't get this concept then you're likely never going to be financially successful. Often I could offer FREE software solutions to some of my clients but because of the extra time involved it works out cheaper for that client if I SELL them something that takes less of my time. Microsofts hiddeous licensing models aside, paid solutions are often cheaper because someone else has already done half the work for you. That's why you pay for it! Vendors know this and calculate the savings using their product will give you when they determine its sale price. Time IS money, serious money, if you are having to pay someone per hour. It all depends on the required solution. I absolutely love the open source products that exist but you can never say paid software products are better or open source is better because it depends on the unique situation.

Having said that, I do plan on migrating to pfsense or another free solution as I just cannot keep up with the cost/benefit ratio of peplink.

If I were peplink I'd re-evaluate and try to take a bit more of dynamic approach to improving their multi-wan gateway line.

vyatta also has a router appliance. linksys also uses opensource software. a lot of those hardware/appliance that you consider reliable use opensource software.

and under GPL, those that charge for their services with regards to opensource software do not own those softwares so you have all the right to make it better without legal issues.

thousands and thousands of opensource software are available at no extra cost. and it's up to you if you want to avail paid services for such. and mind you, paid services for commercial hardware or software without warranty are usually far more expensive. and many really suck.

if you have a community behind what you're using, you share lots of experiences and possible solutions. a few hundred heads or experiences will likely prove better than a very few coders or mid level tech support (or call center!).email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611610659946509961.post-64242449968998087682008-10-01T23:35:00.000-07:002008-10-01T23:35:00.000-07:00I spent the last day and a half trying to get pfSe...I spent the last day and a half trying to get pfSense up and running.

I stated clearly that I want to remind people about total costs of owning a solution. I don't think this is any hypocritical.

Put it this way, why people are buying RHEL when there is CentOS?

Why people are buying SugarCRM (hosted service) when there is SugarCRM Opensource Edition?

I would NEVER say CentOS is lame to RHEL.

I would NEVER say SugarCRM OS is lame to SugarCRM (hosted service).

The answer is exactly that business need a total solution from software to hardware to great customer service. As simple as that. No one ever mentioned in this blog that pfSense is not good.

There is nothing you can post to debunk what has already been posted in the comments here, open source is a lower cost solution in virtually every environment when taking every hard and soft cost into account. There are even more benefits of open source over commercial solutions that aren't listed here.

Cost isn't the only factor either. Most of the time it's going to come down to which solution can provide what the particular environment requires first, and cost is a secondary concern. It doesn't matter what something costs if it does not fit the requirements of the environment. Some functionality in pfSense isn't available in similar commercial solutions, and vice versa. In most environments either open source or commercial solutions are equally suitable, and factors like cost become the primary consideration.

I must give you kudos for approving these comments though.Chris Buechlerhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611610659946509961.post-55014298257742185062008-06-14T00:14:00.000-07:002008-06-14T00:14:00.000-07:00Sounds a lot like the argument Microsoft uses for ...Sounds a lot like the argument Microsoft uses for Linux.

Of course, pfSense *itself* is free (as in beer and freedom), my point is the *whole solution* is not.

Many people perceive solutions comprising of open source software as "free solution" and they tend to forget all other tangible and intagible costs associated with it.

An open source solution is a low-cost solution at best but not free. Some components of it may be freely available - e.g. Linux, pfSense.

Gary: You're exactly right about the different markets for these products.

As an IT pro myself, I very well understand the temptation to make DIY solution work for myself or my small firm. But for the majority of companies out there, they should look at the total cost of ownership, deployment and maintenance. We work as a business/IT consultant for a living and I feel a strong sense of responsibility to remind my clients to see the whole picture and cost! before commiting on any solution. We recommend the big boys like F5, Radware too but they're just too pricey for a lot of my clients. Then we found the Peplink and they make good products and the prices are more right for small and med size companies.

Since this article has spurred so much interest, I will take the time to explain my view further in a separate post, stay tuned.samhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com

Hide Forgot
Description of problem:
Multiple specifications for /export/home/... in
/etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts.homedirs (generated by
genhomedircon). File homedir_template in the same directory has not been
modified. file_contexts.homedirs has three groups of entries -- the first two
are identical and are for /export/home/..., while the third is for /home/...
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Reproducible. Hand-editing of file_contexts.homedirs is useless because it is
regenerated at reboot (or any time genhomedircon is run).
Steps to Reproduce:
1. See description of how users were added below...
2. Reboot
3. Watch console output for warning message below
Actual results:
"multiple specifications for /export/home/..." warning displayed on console
Expected results:
No error/warning message
Additional info:
Possible relevant info: This system is used as a file server for users' home
directories. Home directories are created under /export/home, and exported to
client machines on the network via NFS. NIS is used for for logins, etc.,
autofs for automounting... As such, before creating user accounts after initial
install, the default location of HOME_DIR was changed with 'useradd -D -b
/export/home'. Then users were created with 'useradd.' Finally, after
NIS/NFS/autofs was set up, users' home dir location in /etc/passwd was changed
to /home using 'usermod -d /home'.
Why not just bind mount /home on /export/home and not have to change the
homedirectories. That would make SELinux happier.
Yes, bind-mounting would work. However, that would make the server machine,
which is also technically a client in my architecture, a special case. Autofs
maps would have to be different (bind mount for server, NFS for clients), etc.
Since my server also provides its autofs maps to the clients via NIS, this would
be more trouble than the way I'm already doing it. (I suppose my auto.xxx could
be a scripts that figure out whether the machine is client or server, and mount
via bind or nfs accordingly...)
But is there a reason that SELinux should be unhappy with what I've done?
I just re-read your comment, and I may have misunderstood you the first time. I
think you probably meant to have the users' actual files reside in /home on the
server, bind mount that on /export/home, then export /export/home. I took it
the other way at first, i.e. files reside in /export/home, bind-mount
/export/home on /home on the server, nfs-mount server's /export/home on /home on
the clients. However, I think my reply still applies -- this arrangement would
create a different autofs situation for the server vs the clients, and I was
trying to keep the machines as parallel as possible.
mgm, the problem is that genhomedircon is trying to setup the correct labeling
on the homedirs. And is failing with autofs. I am trying to figure out the
best way to handle this. I guess the best idea is for me to try to setup your
environment and play around with it. But how does the application genhomedircon
figure out the location of the homedirs? Or would the best solution be to have
a flag that shuts down genhomedircon after you set it up correctly?
Created attachment 152505 [details]
Flag would be OK, I guess.
Would having autofs OFF when genhomedircon runs keep it from getting confused?
If so, can it shut down the autofs service and then restart it? Maybe this is
more of a problem than a solution, though, if the system is up and running with
users logged in at the time...
Or, perhaps if genhomedircons is having trouble figuring out where the "real"
location of the homedirs is, it could be (optionally) specified or forced in
Or, looking at the file_contexts.homedirs (attached) that genhomedircon produces
on my system, I end up with two groups of specs where the value of HOME_DIR in
the homedir_template was replaced with '/export/home' and one group where it was
replaced with '/home'. I'm assuming that one group for '/export/home' and one
for '/home' would be fine, but that the extra '/export/home' is causing the
warning messages. So could genhomedircom avoid producing duplicates somehow by
not substituting the same thing twice for HOME_DIR?
By the way, if these ideas are idiotic, or if I'm way off about how
genhomedircon even works, please forgive. Also, any files or captures you need
from me to help with debug, I'll be happy to provide, and any tests you'd like
to perform (incl. trying out code) just let me know.
Oh, for cryin' out loud! I guess I lied... I could have sworn when I posted
this bug originally that my file_contexts.homedirs had two blocks for
/export/home and one for /home. But now when I look at the attachment I just
added I see only one for each. I guess I'm losing my mind. Sorry...
So everything looks ok now. The reason it is working is, you must have a user
listed some where with /export/home as his home dir, which will cause it to be
labeled correctly. Then the other users have /home so they are labeled
correctly. In the future we will have different users with different users home
directory labels. Say a guest_home_dir_t and a user_home_dir_t. This will not
work correctly, on your system since user dwalsh home dir would be listed as
/home/dwalsh but actually be /export/home/dwalsh.
As far as the double entries this could have been caused by a bug that has now
been fixed.
Yep, looks fine now. I'm pretty stumped, because I do believe that (at one
time) I had double entries for /export/home. Maybe if I get some time this
weekend I'll install plain FC6 with no updates on a canary system and see if I
can reproduce the double entry thing. Mostly for my own sanity, because if it's
fixed it's fixed.
Thanks for your help. Based on your comment #8, it seems like I should rethink
my architecture a little bit.

Afternoon! Today I bring you some more pink nails inspired by Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
One woman in eight will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime, but there's good news: Over 80% of women with breast cancer are still alive five years after diagnosis. Just 40 years ago, the five year survival rate for breast cancer was around 50 per cent. That's major! So be breast aware!
Today's nails are Pink and Punky – who says pink has to be soft and girly? We can be hard and still feminine too!
I'm in love with bright pink! It's by Rimmel and it's called Pop Your Pink. Other colours are as follows:
Sinful Colors Black on Black
OPI Gold Shatter
Caviar and stud by Roo Beauty
I used striping tape to stripe off the tips so that I could create a really bold contrast! I've ordered a pack of new dotting tools so hopefully you'll see more dotticures from me soon.

New robotic glove gives you the sensation of touching boobs. So Japanese researchers have developed a robotic glove like device that can simulate the sensation of touching someones boobs.
Now, before you knock it off as an invention of lonely scientists, there's a serious side and good use to this device. The researchers hope that the device can be used as a training device for medical students to become skilled in breast examinations among other exams that require feeling body parts. [Image Courtesy of Gifu University, Japan] The device makes use of haptic feedback that can simulate realistic tactile sensations in each individual fingertip and hence why the researchers, from Gifu University in Japan, have dubbed their invention a "multi-fingered haptic interface robot."
Getting enough volunteers for examination practice is simply not possible, especially when the student needs to be able to detect lumps in various areas of the body.

An upcoming app for Android, iOS and Google Glass called NameTag will allow you to photograph strangers and find out who they are — complete with social networking and online dating profiles. When you spot someone out and about that you want to identify, you can capture their face using your device's camera. The app will send the photo wirelessly to NameTag's server, where it will compare the photo to millions of online records and return with a name, more photos and social media profiles, such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, where the person (or their friends) might have publicly posted photos of themselves.
In the US, it will also match the photo against over 450,000 entries in the National Sex Offender Registry and other criminal databases. Tech That Proves 'Her' Is Not That Far Off. Spike Jonze's new film may be science fiction, but we're practically there.
If aliens were to suddenly descend upon Earth, they might notice most humans have their own glowing box. Each morning, they stand on the train with their necks craned peering at the box, on their way to an office where they sit and stare at a similar box, and then they retire home to watch their glowing box a little more. The extra terrestrials probably would think, "I don't know what that glowing thingy is, but, man, it's special to them. " Virtually Naked: Virtual Environment Reveals Sex-Dependent Nature of Skin Disclosure. The human tendency to reveal or cover naked skin reflects a competition between the individual propensity for social interactions related to sexual appeal and interpersonal touch versus climatic, environmental, physical, and cultural constraints.
However, due to the ubiquitous nature of these constraints, isolating on a large scale the spontaneous human tendency to reveal naked skin has remained impossible. Using the online 3-dimensional virtual world of Second Life, we examined spontaneous human skin-covering behavior unhindered by real-world climatic, environmental, and physical variables. Analysis of hundreds of avatars revealed that virtual females disclose substantially more naked skin than virtual males. This phenomenon was not related to avatar hypersexualization as evaluated by measurement of sexually dimorphic body proportions.

Research Suggests All Men Watch Pornography. Researchers at the University of Montreal were unable to carry out a study comparing the views of men who had never watched porn with those of regular users because they were unable to find a single man who hadn't seen it!
"We started our research seeking men in their 20s who had never consumed pornography," said Professor Simon Louis Lajeunesse. "We couldn't find any." However, their efforts were not completely fruitless. The scientists were still able to examine the habits of those men who used pornography (ie. all of them). After interviewing 20 heterosexual male university students who consumed pornography, Lajeunesse found that the average age they were first exposed to porn was just 10 years old.

Getting Ahead with the Top 10 Binary Options Brokers
When you are active in the binary options market, the specific brokerage service that you use can make a huge difference in the kinds of profits that you can generate through your trades. There are more than a thousand brokers that you can find online, but it can be tricky to know which ones are going to offer the right services, tools, and terms to help you to be successful in your investments.
If you're looking to work with one of the top 10 binary options brokers, consider some of these basic guidelines that can put you in touch with the right firm:
Regulatory Controls
Not every broker is licensed to operate in the country that they serve. In some cases, this is not a major problem. For example, many traders choose to work with European brokerage firms that are not licensed to work in the United States, but who accept traders from the U.S. However, these firms may be controlled by the corresponding entity, CySEC, in the country that they operate in and may hold a license that correlates to it. There is some manner of risk in using a service from another country, since funds are not guaranteed to you in the same way that a service from your own country might be, but it is still possible to work well with a broker from another country.
However, you'll want to make sure that the firm does hold a license from a regulatory body, not just marketing themselves as being regulated, and that you understand the kinds of regulations that might affect the firm, so that you can protect your investments.
You'll also want to explore the terms of the brokerage service prior to committing funds into an account. Some firms charge excessive fees or have lengthy retrieval times for profits that are made using the service.
While the specific brokerage firms that can be counted among the top 10 binary options brokers are constantly changing and new brokers are being added to the market continuously, it is possible to find and partner with some great service providers who help to make it easy to generate profits. There will always be some degree of risk in the binary options market, but having the right kind of binary options brokerage service on your side can help you to navigate the waters with a little more ease.

Two retrievable test packers and storm valves were used for isolation while the horizontal tree (HXT) was installed. After resuming operations and retrieving the upper retrievable test packer, the rig unseated the lower retrievable test packer. Initial high loss rates over 200 BPH were observed, slowing down to 40 BPH after 2.5 hrs. The well was circulated down the drill pipe and up the riser. At 102 bbls from bottoms up, a 5 bbl gain in the pits was observed. the pumps were shutdown and the annular closed. Fluid started coming through the rotary table and the diverter was closed. Before the diverter could close completely, 87.5 bbls of 8.8 ppg brine and 2 barrels of crude oil unloaded from the riser to the drill floor. The shut-in well had zero pressure on the drill pipe and casing. Clean up operations included removal of 485 bbls of crude/brine mix from the riser. Nobody was hurt and there were no environmental impacts as a result of this incident.
What Went Wrong?:
Total depth of the water injector is 4242m MD/ 2661m TVD at ~ 70 degrees in the target sand with 3 oil bearing sands and reservoir pressure 6.5-7.4 ppg EMW.
Lower completion screens were run, and the well circulated to 8.8 ppg brine (~575 psi OB).
An attempt to set a retrievable bridge plug for the lower isolation near the completion packer was unsuccessful.
The lower retrievable test packer with storm valve was set at 2505m (57 deg) with 287m of tail pipe (1085m above the gravel pack packer). The retrievable test packer was set at this depth to allow running the required amount of tail pipe to achieve 30klbs weight below (tail pipe) and prevent the retrievable test packer from unseating.
Loss rate prior to setting retrievable test packer was ~8 BPH.
Due to high loss rates of 200 BPH upon unseating the retrievable test packer, it was not recognized that hydrocarbons had migrated into the wellbore below it and were rising up the annulus while circulating out. Hydrocarbon migration had been anticipated, but it was incorrectly assumed that the losses were effectively sweeping the hydrocarbons in the formation. The high-angle of the hole likely allowed gas to migrate up the high-side of the well during this event.
Corrective Actions and Recommendations:
When barriers are set above exposed permeable formation, it should be assumed that reservoir fluids swap with the fluid below the barrier, and necessary precautions should be taken when removing the barrier to properly sweep any trapped gas thru the choke or bullheaded to avoid risk of unloading the riser.
The lowermost barrier should be set as close as practical to the downhole source of the pressure being isolated to minimize the potential volume of hydrocarbons and associated pressure that could build up in the well.
Before removing the lower most barrier a risk assessment / discussion should be held to ensure personnel are aware of the potential exposures and prepared to respond. Items to address should include
safety alert number: 298

XoBeautyByjenxo !
My favorite MUA's out there are Kandee Johnson, Michelle Phan and Promise Phan! I'm sure every makeup lover knows who these ladies are. They are, in my opinion, the best MUA's out there! Their work is amazing and I really wish to be as good as them in the future. The first makeup tutorial video I saw was a Makeup Plastic Surgery video about how to get rid of dark circles by Kandee Johnson which really helped me out alot!
My makeup inspirations come from mostly just doing my own thing. I do sometimes like to recreate looks other artist do but most of the time I don't really like to plan out a look so what I do is grab a few makeup products and go with the flow.
My favorite look that I have done is the Before & After look I did not too long ago. The look was inspired by a photo I saw on H-town Beauties facebook page but I added my own twist to it and made it a bit different. The reason why I think its my best work, even though it has no designs or art, is because I'm showing a beauty transformation. I definitely don't have that "Natural Beauty" and wanted every person that feels as self conscious as I am to see how makeup can make a woman feel so beautiful inside and out!
My favorite makeup brand of course is Motives Cosmetics. Not because I sell them but because my love for the products! I could not find the perfect foundation and concealer for my skin before Motives. I would waste money on so many other products cheap and expensive and ended up with my face melting, breaking out, oily all over, and cakey! So I started to think "well nothing is gonna work on this face so why bother anymore" When I first tried Motives I was in LOVE and as I mentioned thats how my love for makeup started. The products are just beautiful, so pigmented, long lasting and gorgeous! Another brand I love is elf. I love their eyeshadows most from their line of makeup. Other brands that I have always wanted to try but haven't gotten to just yet are Makeup Forever, Bh Cosmetics and Lime Crime. I've heard alot that their products are amazing and I can't wait to try.

GTD Cheatsheet – An Intro on the GTD system. The system created by David Allen in his popular book Getting Things Done focuses on freeing up your mind's RAM (or resources).
The GTD system simply takes all or our mental and physical "stuff" in our lives and organizes it into a system where we can easily: 1) Act on it or 2) Store it and retrieve it later. The GTD Cheatsheet is a small, condensed version of GTD. The Magic of Doing One Thing at a Time - Tony Schwartz. By Tony Schwartz | 8:53 AM March 14, 2012 Why is it that between 25% and 50% of people report feeling overwhelmed or burned out at work?
It's not just the number of hours we're working, but also the fact that we spend too many continuous hours juggling too many things at the same time. What we've lost, above all, are stopping points, finish lines and boundaries. Technology has blurred them beyond recognition. Wherever we go, our work follows us, on our digital devices, ever insistent and intrusive. Tell the truth: Do you answer email during conference calls (and sometimes even during calls with one other person)? The biggest cost — assuming you don't crash — is to your productivity. But most insidiously, it's because if you're always doing something, you're relentlessly burning down your available reservoir of energy over the course of every day, so you have less available with every passing hour. I know this from my own experience. 1. 2. 3. 6 Things The Most Productive People Do Every Day. Ever feel like you're just not getting enough done?
Know how many days per week you're actually productive? About 3: People work an average of 45 hours a week; they consider about 17 of those hours to be unproductive (U.S.: 45 hours a week; 16 hours are considered unproductive). We could all be accomplishing a lot more — but then again, none of us wants to be a workaholic either. It'd be great to get tons done and have work/life balance. And who better to ask than Tim Ferriss, author of the international bestseller, The 4-Hour Workweek?
(Tim's blog is here and his podcast is here.) Below are six tips Tim offered, the science behind why they work, and insight from the most productive people around. 1) Manage Your Mood. Monotasking Is The New Multitasking. We all know multitasking is inefficient.
A classic 2007 study of Microsoft workers found that when they responded to email or instant messaging alerts, it took them, on average, nearly 10 minutes to deal with their inboxes or messages, and another 10-15 minutes to really get back into their original tasks. That means that a mere three distractions per hour can preclude you from getting anything else done. Then there's the relationship "inefficiency" that comes from multitasking. You can spend hours rebuilding the good will torched by a single glance at your phone during an inopportune time. We know this, yet we keep doing it. No human activity is immune. Fortunately, there are ways to learn to focus. Live right There are many reasons to exercise, hydrate, and get enough sleep--and the ability to fight distractions is one of them.

Time Management Tips: How to Find the Right Mindset to Succeed With Time Management. For the past several years I have worked with time management techniques such as lists, prioritization, planning and so on.
But it wasn't until I adopted a Quadrant 2 mindset that I really started seeing results. The phrase "Quadrant 2" comes from Stephen Coveys book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People . Every task you need to do can be split into one of the 4 quadrants: 1. How to tackle the different tasks Each task needs to be tackled in a specific way, at a specific time and handled right. Them the repercussions could be bad. Tasks as you do when working in Quadrant 1 but without all the stress and pressure of the first quadrant. The Pomodoro Technique® What is The Pomodoro Technique?
EASY for anyone to use! Improves productivity IMMEDIATELY! FUN to do! Why Pomodoro? The Pomodoro Technique isn't like any other time-management method on the market today. For many people, time is an enemy. Essential to the Pomodoro Technique is the notion that taking short, scheduled breaks while working eliminates the "running on fumes" feeling you get when you've pushed yourself too hard. Whether it's a call, a Facebook message, or suddenly realizing you need to change the oil in your car, many distracting thoughts and events come up when you're at work. Most of us are intimately acquainted with the guilt that comes from procrastinating.
Who does the technique work for? These are all ways real folks use the Pomodoro Technique: Motivate yourself to write.Limit distractions.Keep track of how long you're spending brainstorming / writing / revising.Reduce back and neck pain by walking around during Pomodoro breaks.Draft a book in three weeks.

Why looking out for lampposts can help avoid a speeding fine
Watch out for lampposts if you want to avoid a speeding fine, writes motoring lawyer Jeanette Miller.
A limit of 30 mph usually applies to all traffic on all roads with street lighting, unless there are signs to say otherwise.
But although a lack of signage can be misleading and it does often catch motorists out, there is no legal requirement for a restricted road to have speed signs or repeaters.
Restricted roads
A restricted road is one that has a system of street lighting in place with lamps placed not more than 200 yards apart.
And on such roads the speed limit is set at 30 mph.
What's more, the 30 mph limit is regardless of the number of lanes on the road.
So even where the road appears to be a dual carriageway where you would expect the speed limit to be 40 mph, the limit will be 30 mph if there are street lamps spaced 200 yards apart.
When signage can be a defence
If the restricted road does't have a system of street lighting in place, drivers won't be convicted of speeding unless the limit is indicated by traffic signs.
If using this as a defence in a court case, the following conditions must be met and proved by the defendant:
- The signs must be erected and maintained in such a way to provide adequate guidance to motorists of the speed limit.
- The signs must indicate the speed limit giving sufficient time for a motorist to slow down.
- If the sign only becomes visible once it's passed because of overgrown hedges, the signs aren't sufficiently displayed and this could be a defence.
- The signs must be repeated at regular intervals unless it is a restricted road or a motorway.
- The only signs that need to be lit are those signs at the beginning and end of the speed restricted road where there is an electrical street lamp within 50m.
- These signs should be illuminated during the hours of darkness or while the street lamps are lit. If these conditions are not met this may be a defence to speeding.
Challenges already made
Many motorists have challenged the speed limit restrictions or signs used.
Court decisions have made it clear that it does not matter if the speed limit signs are obscured on a restricted road - behind a tree, for example.
Also, it's immaterial if there's a minor variation such as one lamp missing or where two lamps were 201 and a half yards apart.
So, as harsh as it is, ignorance of the speed limit rules is no defence to speeding and a court will not take into account whether or not you were aware of the restrictions.

It may be difficult to find helpful tips when you need to repair your credit. Here, you will find a wealth of information to assist you in repairing your credit score. These tips can relieve you from stress and save time.
Getting a traditional home loan can be difficult, if not impossible, with imperfect credit. An FHA loan can be helpful in such a case since the federal government backs these loans. You might be able to get an FHA loan even if you cannot afford closing costs or down payments.
Never trust a business or person who offers to clear up your credit for a price. Especially if it is correct information they say they can remove. If the information is correct, it will remain as part of your report, in most cases, for seven years. Items that you can get taken off your record are those that have been reported incorrectly or unfairly.
Credit Score
Credit score repair requires that you begin paying your bills. Paying your bills on time and for the full amount is important. Getting rid of past-due bills will have a fast and dramatic effect on your credit score.
Credit counselors should always be researched thoroughly before being consulted for credit repair. Some credit counselors offer real help while others have more dubious things in mind. Some are not legitimate. It is smart to verify the legitimacy of credit counselors prior to getting involved with them.
Avoid credit schemes that will get you in trouble. There are less than honest entities that will show you how to make a brand new credit file. Of course, this highly illegal, and it will cause you even more problems, because it will not go unnoticed. You may end up in jail if you are not careful.
Too many credit cards is a common cause of financial strain, so close all of your accounts aside from one. Call your credit card company and try to work out a repayment plan, or transfer the balances of multiple cards to one lower interest card. It will be easier for you to make payments on a single credit card account, as opposed to several.
Credit Card
Go over your monthly credit card statements to check for mistakes. Immediately report any errors to your credit card company to prevent a bad mark on your credit report.
If you and your creditor decided to set up a payment plan, you should first get the details of the plan in written form. If there is a change of heart, this paper will protect you. When the debt is eventually paid or settled in full, you should request documentation of this and forward copies to the primary credit reporting companies.
If at all possible, avoid filing bankruptcy. Bankruptcy does not drop from your credit report until ten years have passed, so you will deal with the fallout for a significant period of time. It may seem like the right things to do, but your future will be affected. You may never get a line of credit for any purchases you might need to make if you go ahead, give up on repairing your credit and file for bankruptcy.
Try the aforementioned methods to help you resolve your credit issues. Although credit improvement feels like 'one step forward, two steps back', it is worth it. Patience is your friend here. As long as you stay determined, you'll see how valuable the rewards can be.
Desperate for better credit? Then, you are where you need to be. Simply access BEST CREDIT REPAIR ADVICE

It's been an exceptionally rough week for Tennessee athletic director John Currie. After the Greg Schiano situation turned toxic, Currie found himself on the hot seat and now former Vols coach Lane Kiffin is poking fun at him on Twitter.
WWE's Monday Night Raw was in Knoxville last night, and Tennessee fans the Schiano incident into part of the show. They made signs and yelled chants saying "Fire Currie!" that got loud enough to be picked up on the broadcast.
Listen for yourself:
The calls from Tennessee fans to fire AD John Currie have made their way to Monday Night Raw in Knoxville pic.twitter.com/hFUpihOCpb
— Sports Illustrated (@SInow) November 28, 2017
Kiffin, who is known for shenanigans like this, didn't miss his opportunity to make fun of Currie and his former school:
Great drop kick!!! https://t.co/BbRYkrorVp
— Lane Kiffin (@Lane_Kiffin) November 28, 2017
What's especially humorous here is that Kiffin could wind up being Currie's target, if he hasn't already been contacted. He was the coach in Knoxville in 2009 before leaving to take over sanction-riddled USC. He's currently finishing up his first season coaching Florida Atlantic.
If the administration doesn't want Kiffin in charge, at least one section of the fan base certainly does.
The post Lane Kiffin trolls Tennessee AD John Currie on Twitter appeared first on SEC Country.

When doubting the authority of the weekly invoice template, the customer could take longer to settle your payment and that can seriously affect your profit. You do not need to get overwhelmed by this job of invoicing, as you can easily access a tax invoice template that will suit your kind of business or industry. Locating the correct standard invoice template helps saving a lot of time and money.
The details in this template should be listed in reverse chronological format. When listing the experiences, list your most recent experience first followed by the recent experience and so on. Educational details are also listed in the similar fashion. Functional template is used when the applicant has considerable gaps in his work history. These gaps make a bad impression on employer and hence should be hidden. This format is more focused on the skills rather than the experiences of the applicant.
Is not it nice to close the deals using an impressive, proficiently-designed business invoice template? A skillfully designed invoice word template is vital in establishing the credibility of your company invoice template, prompting the customer to settle your custom invoice template dues quickly and to ask for your services again, thus helping your business invoice template word grow.

SALUTATION 🙏🏽 Saluting the women of the world . . . The womb of the world. The creative matrix. . . . The ephemeral and the everlasting. . . . The dark, damp, and divine . . . The moody moon. . . . The goddess within and the priestess showing out . . . Saluting the cosmic dance of embodied Shakti undulating . . . Waves, water, womb. The future is, always, and forever shall be female. Woman is the beginning and within her lies a universe. Her ornate topography is sacred. Her hips are holy. Saluting her strength and bowing to her vulnerability. She is complex, complicated, compassionate, curious, cultivated. . . . She is inclusive, supportive, loving, gentle (but don't cross her), and kind. She is badass, breaking rules, blazing trails, and forging bonds. Spirit guide, big mama, boss lady, activist. She unites everyone. She uplifts. She is the crux of the community. She is a leader . . . The leader . . . The mother. Mama. Pregnant with promise. Womb ignited. Love coursing through her bosom. The future suckling at her breast. Slaying the agenda barefoot and in high heels, from bedroom to boardroom, from home to office, from city to countryside. May we reclaim the sanctity of our bodies. The world is spawned within each of us. Saluting those living in bondage (may we continue the fight for you), break the mold and stand firmly in our power to be a force for change. And to those thriving in liberation and using their glow power to be a force for good in this world (to whom much is given, much is expected), may we shine together as one, as WOMEN. May you be supported and guided by the light. This work is channeled from my soul, birthed through my fingertips onto these here pages, and dedicated to each of you . . . One love @glowmaven _ This is the opening invocation from my bestselling book- OWN YOUR GLOW: A SOULFUL GUIDE TO LUMINOUS LIVING AND CROWNING THE QUEEN WITHIN 👑 – I channeled these words years ago and they are just as fresh today. Swipe for the full salutation. _ For those who have waited patiently for this audio book- it's on its way to you. Stay tuned. 🙏🏽 Thank you to @jecolmenero & @thecuttingroomstudios #ownyourglow #ownyourglowbook #salutation

This week was an obvious theme with Halloween and all: Spooky. Sounds easy right? Should be no problem to find a good spooky subject. Well, i really had no good ideas and I didn't want to just hope for a good subject to walk right up to me. Thankfully Scott came through for me!
First off the 31st was crazy hair day as part of red ribbon week. Scott was working on his creepy faces as well.
After school I got them all dressed and made up so we could attend the college's trunk or treat. Scott as a character from Harry Potter and Em as Queen Lucy from Narnia accompanied by their mom, the Greek goddess!
The whole group of characters! Gotta love the twins' faces!
I think he's perfected the spooky creepy look, don't you? Do you know who he is? Is he a death eater or a dementor?
