Shell's most recent 'mishap' a few days ago was not the first setback the oil giant has suffered in its plans to drill for oil in the Arctic. In fact, it's the eighth in a growing list of reasons why Shell should not be trusted in the Arctic.
1. Shell has no idea how much an oil spill clean-up would cost
In March 2012, in response to questions from the UK's Parliamentary Environmental Audit Committee, Peter Velez, Shell's head of emergency response in the Arctic admitted that Shell had not assessed the costs of a clean-up operation in the Arctic, leaving shareholders exposed to potentially huge financial losses.
2. Shell's barge, the Arctic Challenger, was not deemed safe enough by the US government
In July last year the US authorities announced that a key part of Shell's oil spill response fleet hadn't been allowed to sail to the Arctic because it did not meet US Coast Guard safety standards. The ship, Arctic Challenger, is a 36-year-old barge used to drag safety equipment through sea ice. But US authorities are not happy with what they've seen on-board and didn't feel confident the Arctic Challenger could withstand the extremely harsh Arctic environment. Originally Shell agreed that the ship would be able to withstand a 100-year storm, but company engineers are now saying that it is "no longer appropriate" for the barge to meet such onerous standards.
3. US Coast Guard "not confident" with Shell's dispersants in the event of an oil spill
In an interview with Bloomberg the commandant of the US Coast Guard expressed doubts about the impact of dispersants in Alaska in the event of an oil spill, saying - "I'm not confident what it will do in the colder water up in Alaska". Shell has included dispersant use as a major part of its oil spill response plan for the Arctic.
4. Shell's drill ship runs aground in a 'stiff breeze'
On 15 July Shell's drill ship, the Noble Discoverer, ran aground in the sheltered and relatively calm Dutch Harbour, Alaska, in a 35mph wind. Both the Noble Discoverer and the Kulluk are ageing, rusty vessels and not the state of the art fleet that Shell has been boasting about. The Kulluk has been mothballed for the last 13 years whilst the Frontier Discoverer was built in 1966.
5. Shell's drill ship catches fire
In November the engine of the drill ship, the Noble Discoverer, caught fire as it returned to Dutch Harbour, Alaska, and had to be put out by specialist fire crews.
6. Shell's capping stack safety system 'crushed like a beer can' during testing
In December it was revealed that the oil spill containment system that Shell was supposed to have on-site in the Arctic was badly damaged in September testing. A Federal Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement representative disclosed that the sub-sea capping stack was "crushed like a beer can".
7. Shell's Alaskan Vice-President admits: "There will be spills"
In an interview with the BBC, Pete Slaiby admits that an oil spill is what people were most concerned about. "If you ask me will there ever be spills, I imagine there will be spills," he said.
8. Shell's Arctic oil rig hits the rocks
On 31 December 2012, the oil rig, the Kulluk, ran aground off the coast of Alaska while being towed back to harbour in Seattle. It had hit heavy weather in the gulf of Alaska a few days earlier which caused the 400ft towing line to break and the rig to drift free. The tug managed to reconnect with the Kulluk but it "experienced multiple engine failures" 50 miles south of Kodiak Island, causing the rig to drift free once again in 35ft seas and winds of 40mph. The rig eventually ran aground on Monday after another attempt to tow it away. The Kulluk has 139,000 gallons of diesel and 12,000 gallons of hydraulic oil on board but as yet no spills have been observed. Teams on the ground are currently still trying to secure the rig.
Join the movement to Save the Arctic and let's stop reckless companies like Shell from exploiting this fragile environment.

Conversely, Shell is gaining an incredible education on what it takes to conduct drilling operations in the arctic. It can be argued that as a a result of the experience gained through the challenges it has already faced, Shell will be the most qualified entity existant to conduct such exploration, drilling and production operations offshore Alaska.
Captain obvious says, "Greenpeace is against all oil development in the arctic, or anywhere else for that matter". So it's not so much about Shell and the problems it's faced getting their arctic drilling program started. It's about Greenpeace activism against oil production and demonizing Shell to bring attention to it's cause.

Maybe greenpeace should understand how much it cost them in petro a year to operate. Or lets just start charging non drilling states $15.00 a gallon of petro and that might make them rethink their stance.

Simple Calculator and easy to use.
Simple Calculator and easy to use.
An electronic calculator is a small, portable, often inexpensive electronic device used to perform both basic and complex operations of arithmetic. Modern calculators are more portable than most computers, though most PDAs or mobile phones are comparable in size to handheld calculators and may soon replace them.
The first solid state electronic calculator was created in the 1960s, building on the extensive history of tools such as the abacus, developed around 2000 BC; and the mechanical calculator, developed in the 17th century. It was developed in parallel with the analog computers of the day.
Pocket sized devices became available in the 1970s, especially after the invention of the microprocessor developed by Intel for the Japanese calculator company Busicom.
Modern electronic calculators vary from cheap, give-away, credit-card sized models to sturdy desktop models with built-in printers. They became popular in the mid-1970s as integrated circuits made their size and cost small. By the end of that decade, calculator prices had reduced to a point where a basic calculator was affordable to most and they became common in schools.
Computer operating systems as far back as early Unix have included interactive calculator programs such as dc and hoc, and calculator functions are included in almost all PDA-type devices (save a few dedicated address book and dictionary devices).
In addition to general purpose calculators, there are those designed for specific markets; for example, there are scientific calculators which include trigonometric and statistical calculations. Some calculators even have the ability to do computer algebra. Graphing calculators can be used to graph functions defined on the real line, or higher dimensional Euclidean space.
In 1986, calculators still represented an estimated 41% of the world's general-purpose hardware capacity to compute information. This diminished to less than 0.05% by 2007.

It's finally here … Kinda. Dior has now shared more than mere stills or teasers of Robert Pattinson's Dior Homme fragrance ad campaign by giving us several behind the scenes video as well as an uncensored director's cut.
In it, we learn that if you use Dior Homme you too will be able to land a supermodel like Camille Rowe and will therefore spend your time macking it to her, standing around while brooding on top of buildings and crashing parties for foreign dignitaries.
Possibly. It's kind of unclear in perfume commercials exactly what's happening.
Directed by Romain Gavras and featuring Led Zeppelin's 'Whole Lotta Love,' you can check out the entire uncensored ad above. Side note: even though it's labeled "uncensored," it's not that scandalous, unless it's set in the town of 'Footloose' where dancing and suggestively cuddling is bad.
As for behind the scene shots and actual uncensored clips? You can check out those below.

Most things disappear from your field of vision without your being aware of it. You���re not conscious that something has disappeared until you suddenly see it again. So it was this evening at the Caf�� Horreya. Beside me are sitting Yafa and her husband. She tells me that they���re married to each other for the second time. They divorced because they were always busy with other things and in the end weren���t there for each other anymore. Her husband protests in Egyptian when he hears her explanation of their divorce. A discussion follows between them from which I am excluded. They argue, get angry, listen attentively to each other - and then something happens that I haven���t seen in a very long time. They lean towards each other and kiss, right in the middle of the caf��.
Kissing in public is illegal by law in egypt.

WALTHAM, Mass. – The Brandeis University baseball team walked off with a dramatic 3-2 win over MIT on Stein Diamond today. Rookie Liam O'Connor (Avon, Conn./Avon) singled home senior Chris Ferro (Walpole, Mass./Walpole) to make a winner out of senior lefty Mike Swerdloff (Scarsdale, N.Y./Ardsley). The Judges win their fifth in a row to improve to 15-20, while the Engineers fall to 22-9 on the season.
With the game tied, 2-2, and one away in the bottom of the ninth, Ferro launched a 2-2 pitch from MIT senior Henry Zhu (Overland Park, Kans./Blue Valley West) to deep left field. Off the bat it looked like it might clear the fence, but the wind kept it in the park for a double. That brought up O'Connor, who fouled off two of Zhu's offerings before stroking another ball to left. It was fielded cleanly, but Ferro beat a bouncing ball to the plate to give the Judges the victory.
Swerdloff was magnificent, tossing his fourth-straight complete game and second of nine innings to improve to 4-5 on the season. He allowed a career-low three hits, only one after the first inning, and two runs (one earned). After MIT scored without benefit of a hit in the third, Swerdloff retired 12 straight Engineers before issuing a walk with two out in the seventh. MIT's third hit of the game came with one away in the eighth, and Swerdloff followed by starting a 1-6-3 double play. In the top of the ninth, he struck out two batters on full counts, finishing the day with 117 pitches, 81 for strikes.
MIT scored the first two runs of the game, with sophomore SS Parker Tew (Chapel Hill, N.C./East Chapel Hill) at the center of both. Tew singled to lead off the game and scored two batters later on a bounding ball up the middle by sophomore RF Hayden Cornwell (Newport Beach, Calif./Jssera Catholic). In the third, Tew drew a one-out walk, moved to second on a bunt and scored on ball struck by junior CF Creed Mangrum (Sandy, Utah/Brighton) that went through the first baseman's legs.
Brandeis finally got to MIT starter Nicholas Locascio (Naples, Fla./Community School of Naples) in the bottom of the third. Senior 3B Pat Seaward (York, Maine/York) singled to right and moved up to third on a pair of grounders to short. O'Connor followed with a seeing-eye single through the right side for his first RBI of the game.
The Judges had their chances to tie or take the lead, leaving runners on base in their next three at-bats before breaking through in the seventh. With Locascio out of the game, Brandeis senior Dylan Britton (Poughquag, N.Y./Arlington) drew a five-pitch walk against rookie Michael Wymer (Flower Mound, Texas/Flower Mound). Ferro bunted Britton to second, and after Wymer retired O'Connor on a shallow pop to center, he uncorked two wild pitches, allowing Britton to cross the plate standing up. Zhu came on to strand two more Judges in the eighth inning, but Brandeis solved him with Ferro and O'Connor's heroics in the ninth.
Brandeis had three multiple hitters in the game: O'Connor, who was 2-5 with two RBI; junior DH Dan Gad (Mansfield, Mass./Mansfield) who was 3-4; and sophomore 2B Tom McCarthy (Yonkers, N.Y./Fieldston School) who was 2-3. In addition to his double, the game's only extra-base hit, Ferro also had two sacrifice bunts. Tew was MIT's only multiple hitter, going 2-3 with two runs scored. Locascio went six inning, allowing only one run on eight hits, fanning two without a walk. Zhu fell to 1-3 with the loss.
Brandeis closes its regular season tomorrow afternoon against UMass Dartmouth at 3 p.m. MIT is at Rhode Island College tomorrow at 4 p.m.

Guestimate settings 3000gt?.
Hello all, I run a Mitsubishi GTO-TT (3000gt) with Td04-16gs.
I have a GM 3" maf on the way with a new Maf-t, looking to run it in blow through.
The majority of tuning will be done on the Emanage Ultimate but I need to get the Maf-t in the correct range.
I need 2000hz output at 7000 rpm and 30psi, does anyone have an idea for rough Maf-t setting off hand to start with? ( basically I want half what a stock MAF would output so would scaling to 740cc work?).
My injectors are PTE 1200 running 20% Meth in tank but the Emanage does injector level fuel control.
Any help appreciated!.
