INVC students offer sneak peek into ROM collaboration
A museum technician in white gloves laid out a beaded vest and an ornate hood at the media preview of Uncover/Recover at the Royal Ontario Museum April 6. Imbued with history, culture and artistry, these colourful artifacts are among the objects from the ROM's archives that nine students from the INVC program are researching for an interactive digital project. The result, Uncover/Recover, will be an online learning environment that incorporates photography, sound, digital manipulation and time-based media.
At the preview, students Megan Feheley and Shawn Johnston spoke about how they developed their works, what inspired them and the travel and research they undertook for this deeply personal project. Feheley will transform and animate images derived from beadwork, while Johnston's audio work will incorporate the sounds of a deer hoof rattle.
Bonnie Devine, associate professor and the founding chair of the INVC program, believes the project will bring the stories of these artifacts to viewers across the province, and country.
The Uncover/Recover website will be online this summer thanks to funding support from the Ministry of Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation.

Meet Anishinaabe artist Katheryn Wabegijig
My name is Katheryn Wabegijig. I am a 37 year old Ojibway/Odawa multi-disciplinary artist, custom picture framer and emerging writer who grew up in the small mining town of Elliot Lake, Ontario with ancestry in Wikwemikong, Atikameksheng Anishnawbek and belonging to Garden River First Nation/Ketegaunseebee. I graduated from Cambrian College's 4 year Fine Arts program in 2003 and in 2016 with a BFA from OCAD University majoring in Drawing and Painting and minoring in Indigenous Visual Culture where I furthered my cultural education and continued on my path towards Decolonization through cathartic personal explorations.
It is not difficult to see why OCAD University is the leading academic institution of choice for Indigenous students pursuing Art and Design post-secondary education and I would like to share with you some of my experiences here at OCAD and in the INVC program. I believe that Indigenous students in communities across Turtle Island have a great opportunity to excel as artists and designers through the various programs that are offered here and the amount of support offered to students. I also believe that it is vital to go directly to those communities, engage those wishing to further their arts education and inspire their choice to be OCAD University.
I, myself, entered OCAD University as a second year transfer student and mature student after 10 years of focusing on my custom picture framing career. I graduated from Cambrian College where I took their 4 year Fine Arts program in 2003 but always had the dream of attending OCAD. I had to make a choice between my career and furthering my education and so, I told myself, "If I get accepted into OCAD University this time, I'm going!" The professors, staff and fellow artists here made my experience at OCAD University the very best decision of my life and I wish I had had the courage to take the step earlier. It was the best decision that I have ever made for myself as an artist and as an individual. I took Drawing and Painting as my major. I felt that I absolutely needed to take the Indigenous Visual Culture program because it was vital to my learning as an Anishinaabe artist who is continually searching for my place in each of the communities that I have grown up within.
Not only did I achieve my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with an INVC minor but I had the opportunity to witness and learn from amazing Indigenous artists and staff at INVC who profoundly changed and supported my art practice. OCAD U and INVC made it possible for me to delve into my art by working through personal and cultural issues in a safe and supportive environment. In fact, my artwork that was featured in the culminating Grad Ex show for the graduating class was purchased by the Royal Ontario Museum! So, the opportunities here at OCAD University are truly countless, with exhibition opportunities that are attended by some of the most influential people in the art industry.
Also, students will find that throughout their time here that they will continually be surrounded by those influential presences. To be able to hear Janet Rogers recite and perform her powerful pieces of writing, to share in the knowledge of respected Elders and artists like Duke Redbird, to go on a tour of the ROM led by Bonnie Devine (the founding Chair of INVC) speaking on her masterpieces or to be lucky enough to be taught by her or Ryan Rice, an amazing Curator and the Chair of INVC, is undoubtedly an honour and only to be experienced here at Canada's oldest and largest art, design and new media university.
The INVC Student Centre creates many community building events and activities including Buffalo Stew lunches held every Wednesday, Bead and Read which brings together readings from amazing authors while learning new beading techniques. The Mighty Pen, a writing group held for Indigenous students and students of colour began in my final year at OCAD U. I had the privilege of being involved with the very first group. What stemmed from that was a reconnection to my love for writing that led to my first published piece this year. My mentor from that group was and still is an amazing support. These groups, staff and spaces offer a welcoming gathering place to share experience, grow as artists and make friends that will last well beyond your OCAD University experience! Organized trips that I was able to attend were The McMichael Gallery and the Petroglyphs in Peterborough, which had an incredible impact on my art practice. That list is ever expanding, connecting students in this amazing program to culturally significant and life-altering experiences in Toronto and surrounding areas.
The way that I was able to delve into my art by working through personal and cultural issues in a safe and supportive environment allowed me to come to many realizations and revelations that carry with me in my professional career as an artist and now as the Indigenous Student Recruiter.

OCAD U's Dr. Gerald McMaster advisor on new CBC series
CBC's new ten-part docu-drama series, CANADA: The STORY OF US, highlights extraordinary moments in Canada's history and people that helped forge a nation, from early Indigenous history to the 20th century. The series was produced under the guidance of historians and academic consultants, including OCAD University's Indigenous Scholar, Dr. Gerald McMaster, who served as one of the primary consultants. Ground-breaking curator, author, artist and educator, Dr. McMaster is Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Visual Culture & Curatorial Practice at OCAD U.
CANADA: THE STORY OF US takes viewers inside Canada's history with dramatic re-enactments, ground-breaking CGI sequences and documentary-style virtual reality experiences. The series features the stories of Indigenous peoples, women, immigrants, pioneers, rule-breakers, scientists and entrepreneurs – many of them untold until now. The series highlights key moments spanning centuries of history beginning with Indigenous nations in the pre-contact era to 1608 with the arrival of explorer Samuel de Champlain in "Worlds Collide," to the introduction of the sea otter trade by Mowachaht leader and statesman Chief Maquinna in "Hunting Treasure" (1778-1802), to "Boom Bust" (1911-1937) with populations exploding in urban centres, concluding with the creation of Nunavut in "Canadian Experiment" (1970-1999).
Each week, during the run of the series, in partnership with Ancestry.ca, the world's largest online family history resource and an integrated sponsor of CANADA: THE STORY OF US, CBC will air a short vignette featuring a Canadian celebrity from the series, including Susan Aglukark, Wendy Crewson, Sarah Gadon, Mike Holmes, Missy Peregrym, Jennifer Podemski and Mary Walsh, who will discover something new and surprising about their own family histories.
CANADA: THE STORY OF US will also be brought to life online through a trio of immersive, 360-degree videos that will put viewers inside key moments in Canadian history. Through these interactive vignettes, viewers will be transported into the lives of Chief Maquinna; Laura Secord; and Richard Rettie and W.C. Wilkinson – two Canadian scientists who led a team to decode the Nazi Smart Bomb. Produced by Secret Location, all three 360 videos feature ambisonic sound to further immerse viewers in the scene. The videos will be available at cbc.ca/canadathestoryofus and on Facebook for viewing on desktop, mobile and tablet devices.
Series premieres Sunday, March 26 at 8 p.m. on CBC

Four Points on an Aesthetic Map: Aboriginal Media Art in Canada
Tuesday, May 6, 2008 - 4:00am to Saturday, May 31, 2008 - 4:00am
Presented by Urban Shaman Gallery.
This project seeks to put a context and history to Aboriginal media art practice and provide a forum dedicated to the representation of Aboriginal artists working in the media arts. We have invited three nationally recognized curators to create programs of seminal works by Aboriginal artists, thus creating an online exhibition of Aboriginal media works representing major artists and movements within media arts discourse. The selected curators have produced critical essays and online curator's talks on the impacts and history of media art within an Aboriginal context.
Native artists work from a history grounded in the colonial experience. Yet an aesthetic has developed in spite of cultural oppression and repression that is distinct, vibrant and multi, as well as cross disciplinary. In many ways, the work of Aboriginal media artists can be seen as the outgrowth of a distinctly Aboriginal visual and literary culture. It represents an aesthetic of nexus based on an oral storytelling tradition and the increased participation of Aboriginal artists in visual arts culture.
As more media art finds its way into gallery and presentation spaces, we must examine the place of an Aboriginal cultural specificity. What is important here, is that this is not a dialogue about the formation of some pan-Indian identity politic, but that experimentation in media art by Aboriginal artists challenges control by others of our image and our perception. This is our point of departure.
Curated by Professor Richard Fung, David Garneau and Cynthia Lickers-Sage. Includes work by alumna Rebecca Belmore. To learn more visit the Non-compliance.ca website.

Buffalo Jump 2008
Saturday, June 21, 2008 - 2:00pm
This year the members of the Aboriginal Students Association (ASA) at OCAD are participating in Buffalo Jump 2008 and would like to extend an an invitation to the rest of the OCAD community to join us. This is a great opportunity to show our support on behalf of OCAD and this will give everyone the chance to engage in traditional First Nations' activities such as dancing, prayer and celebration. We live in such a multicultural city and are part of a very multicultural academic environment, and this day is a great day to be more aware of this fact.
Although this is a day to celebrate First Nations culture, the main reason for this festival has always been to unite ALL people. With this in mind we hope to see as many people from the OCAD community there, and more information will come as the date approaches.
National Aboriginal Day is celebrated every June 21.
The Cultural Walk starts at City Hall, and ends in Trinity Bellwoods Park.

OCAD University offers new undergraduate major in Aboriginal Visual Culture
Thursday, October 11, 2012 - 4:00am
First of its kind in Canada, the Aboriginal Visual Culture Interdisciplinary Bachelor of Fine Arts will begin enrolment in September 2013
(Toronto—October 11, 2012) Students considering a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree have a new option available to them through OCAD University in Toronto. With enrolment starting in fall 2013, the institution now offers an interdisciplinary degree in Aboriginal Visual Culture that combines contemporary Aboriginal aesthetic and social studies with a comprehensive studio-based art education.
"Our new degree program is a major milestone among a series of initiatives we have developed over the last several years that address Indigenous culture and context at OCAD U," said Bonnie Devine, Founding Chair of OCAD U's Aboriginal Visual Culture Program. "Our work has involved creating an Aboriginal student centre and support services, as well as building our curriculum, including a minor."
Combining practice-specific and interdisciplinary studio courses in the Faculty of Art and the Faculty of Design with concentrations from the Faculty of Liberal Arts & Sciences in the visual, cultural, social and political history of Aboriginal peoples, the curriculum is designed to develop students' critical, creative and practical expertise in Aboriginal cultural and artistic practices.
"This program is the first of its kind in Canada, especially when considering Aboriginal culture within the spectrum of art and design education," said Kathryn Shailer, Dean of OCAD U's Faculty of Liberal Arts & Sciences and School of Interdisciplinary Studies. "It gives students with an interest in Aboriginal issues and practices a degree program that allows them to develop their skills and knowledge, and will graduate students who will be thoughtful contributors to these concerns.
Also new next fall will be an Augmented OCAD U First Year Program for Aboriginal Students, delivered at Laurentian University in Sudbury. "Our Aboriginal Education Council set a priority for us to develop a program where students from Ontario's north can attend a full first-year program at a location roughly midway between their home communities and OCAD U's main campus in Toronto," said Devine. "Our goal is to create an environment for success, and this program will help with the challenges students experience in transitioning to the south. We're very pleased to be working with Laurentian, an institution with a well-developed support system for Aboriginal students that is committed to their success."
The new BFA in Aboriginal Visual Culture will be celebrated with a Symposium and Pow Wow on Tuesday, October 16 at OCAD University. All are invited to these free events. The symposium runs from 9 a.m. to 12 noon and the Pow Wow takes place in the afternoon, from 1 to 5 p.m.
Prospective students can apply for the Aboriginal Visual Culture BFA program now through the Ontario Universities Application Centre for the 2013/14 academic year.
Augmented OCAD U First Year Program for Aboriginal Students at Laurentian University
In an effort to improve access to art and design education for students at home in north-central and northern Ontario, OCAD University has collaborated with Laurentian University to create a full first-year program that will be delivered on the Laurentian University campus in Sudbury.
Although the students recruited for and admitted to this transition program will be OCAD U students, Laurentian students will also have access to the studio and visual culture that OCAD U will deliver in Sudbury. OCAD U students will have access to Laurentian's two-semester transition course for Aboriginal students.
Overall, the Augmented First-Year Program will assist Aboriginal students in negotiating university-level studies and ease the transition from small northern Ontario communities to urban living, first in a midsize and then in a major urban centre.

I've been busy and haven't had time to blog. Been going to bed at 3am, staying up watching the cricket game between Australia and England. The day is a lot shorter when you wake up around 11am.
Anyway, week was the usual grocery shopping and managed to go for a run. Did not do to well with the running, the weather was bad really windy and again staying up late doesn't help. I was dying towards the end. But at least I've done it.
DH was also meant to have a dentist appointment but the dentist was sick so he got re-schedule for next month. He could have seen another dentist on the day but he prepare to see this one particular dentist so he will have to wait until next month. This dentist is a lot better. The one I saw was rough and I think I will get my filling done by this guy too. DH have tried a different guy in the past and didn't like it at all. Butcher was a word he used to describe him.
After my dentist visit we stopped by at Costco, it's on the way home. Our membership is finishing this month and will not be we will not be renewing for a while. So we shopped like there is no tomorrow. Over $300! Yikes!
We also got some milk, eggs beef and fish and other items that I can't remember now. And got some pyrex containers with those snap on lid (BFA free). DH uses them for his lunch, the lids are so much better on these new ones. DH should be able to take soup now and his home made yogurt. That was $35+ for 9 various sizes and shapes. They are great, I think if I bought them individually they will end up costing over $100.
Also got a big box of Xerox paper. This should last me years.
So we are not almost $100 over on grocery budget for the month because of this Costco trip. Hopefully, we will be able to get back on track in the next couple of months.
Finally had low spend weekend. Apart from spending $100 for a gift card we sent to DH's cousin for his wedding we only spent just over $80 on weekend shopping (mainly groceries). Sunday was actually a NSD. We actually went for a run on Sunday (almost a month since last time we went for a ran) and came straight home for lunch.
Actually spent more on groceries than usual, it was because a new grocer just open up a shop in our local shopping centre. They had some pretty good opening sales so I bought a lot more produces than I usually get in a week.
I finally copied my photos into my computer. This was what the ceiling looked like after I sanded and patched it.
This is what the wall looked liked. That left side needed serious sanding. And I also took out an old telephone socket, that what the holes were about.
New door and the new walls.
I am slowly putting things back but a lot of our books will be put away in the big plastic container with lid in the garage.
I still want to replace the light fixture, maybe this summer when I get the electrician to put the new ceiling fan in the lounge room.
The most expensive thing that I bought for the work was the blind and I also bought a hand sander that was I think $30 (but this will be used for future projects). Also bought a new door knob and hinges about $15.
By the way, the tulips have now blossomed and they are yellow. I didn't know what it will be so that was a nice surprise. The tulip was $12 and pot was only $3.60 on sale.
Oh this is the ceiling now.
Start of new financial year so Health Insurance has gone up again.
Gift expense is going to be big this month, we got 1 wedding and 2 major birthday to buy for.
Had 11 NSDs for the month and put in $560 into Goal #4. Also paid some extra into the mortgage.


Excited to be organizing a session and interactive installation for the American Anthropological Association annual meetings, held in Washington D.C. this year. We received an impressive set of papers, and still open to volunteers to help set up and run the installation.
Reading a lot of Op Eds this week calling for Executive Action on Immigration Reform. Some are written by people directly affected by deportations, others are by organization leaders/ advocates, but featuring example stories of those similarly impacted. While it's extremely important that those voices are heard, I'm frustrated by the increasing common framing of the issue around a politics of pity, rather than of justice. Immigration reform advocates are relying far, far too heavily on emphasizing individuals' suffering and making impassioned, heart-string tugging pleas for compassionate action. While there's space for testimony in the movement, it seems to be coming at the expense of a more forceful critique, which I believe is much-needed right now.
As of September, I have been living in New England, carrying out PhD dissertation research. I am working with people who have suffered persecution on the basis of their sexual orientation and/or gender non-conformity and are consequently seeking asylum in the U.S. I'll continue to update this blog whenever possible, and will return to Washington DC in Fall 2014.

Public media in America are weathering new attacks on their funding and independence, at the same time they are being asked to fill the widening news and information gap left by the shifting media landscape. At the heart of these attacks is a question: Can government play a positive role in helping promote quality, independent journalism?
In a new international study of public media systems in 14 leading democracies, NYU media scholars Rodney Benson and Matthew Powers analyze the concrete ways that other countries fund and protect the autonomy of their public media. Their findings may surprise you. Public media in these countries are legally protected from partisan political interference and their organizational structures ensure that journalists have the autonomy to do their jobs. As a result, public media – television, radio, newspapers, and online news – often provide more and higher quality public affairs coverage, a wider range of viewpoints, and even are more critical of government – than their commercial media counterparts.
Public media in the U.S. have also more than proven their worth and are consistently rated among the most trusted media sources in public opinion surveys. Yet our public media system is among the poorest in the world: per capita public funding of PBS and NPR is less than $4, a drop in the bucket compared to the $30 to $130 per capita invested by countries like Germany, Canada, Sweden, and Great Britain.
As journalists, foundations, citizens, and policy-makers seek creative ways to support more quality, independent journalism, Benson and Powers' study provides powerful evidence that public media have a positive role to play. Find out more about what we can learn from public media around the world.
This event is co-sponsored by The American Assembly, Free Press, New America, NYU Steinhardt's Department of Media, Culture, and Communication, and the Social Science Research Council.


Low fruit consumption, low vegetable consumption, and a high intake of fat were all linked to an increased risk of bladder cancer. Diets low in fruit were associated with a 40% increase in bladder cancer risk, diets low in vegetables led to a 16% increase in risk while diets high in fat were associated with a 37% increase in the risk of bladder cancer.
Diets low in beta-carotene were associated with a 10% increased risk of bladder cancer however this association was inconsistent across the studies and was not statistically significant. Both meat consumption and retinol intake did not appear to be associated with bladder cancer.
The authors concluded that: "The results of this meta-analysis support the hypothesis that diets high in vegetable and fruit intake and low in fat intake reduce the risk of bladder cancer".
Bladder cancer is currently the sixth most common form of cancer in the United States with around 12,000 people dying from the disease each year. Bladder cancer is around twice as common in men than women and is slightly less common in African Americans and Asians compared to whites.
The most well established risk factor for bladder cancer is tobacco use with around 40% of all bladder cancers thought to be caused by cigarette smoking. Other risk factors for bladder cancer include low levels of fluid consumption, chronic bladder inflammation, a family history of bladder cancer, and occupational exposure to carcinogens such as benzadine. Around a third of all bladder cancers occur in people with no known risk factors for the disease.


The main objective of the "Vinyl is Back" event is to be established as a repeating music festive event for all the music maniacs which will take place twice a year! The "Vinyl is Back" event was set up in order to signify the final and permanent return of vinyl discs and also to constitute an effective platform in order all the involved parts to set down in terms of process, production, reproduction and sales (music recording companies, instruments of reproduction and management, shops, private individual collectors).
The development of the "Vinyl is Back" event as a mean of communication with a creative content, commercial contacts and transactions will create a significant benchmark not only in a local level but also as a long term tradition ,where all the lovers of vinyl discs will meet and share their love and knowledge on the music industry. The main objective is the exploitation of music and the systematic communication with potential purchasers, also the growth of the sector through the new generations of music lovers in the "magic" of vinyl discs and record-players.


Today, there is a new alternative to biking for those who are old enough for the typical pedal, those that are partly disabled or has decreased immobility due to old age and those who simply want to get easy cardio solutions. Several types of tricycles are available in the market for you depending on your own specific needs and it is important that you get oriented with these types and specifications before buying your own tricycle to make sure that you wont regret your purchase. If you wish to know more about them, this article is definitely for you because here, we will provide you with guidelines in looking for the perfect adult tricycle for you.
Why Should You Get A Trike?
The first thing that you need to know is the basic difference between a tricycle and a bicycle. Basically, the tricycle is just like the common bicycle but it has three wheels while the bicycle has only two. When it comes to the stance, the tricycle is also a bit shorter than the bicycle depending on its type but that doesn't make it less functional. If you wish to read more about the comparison between these two vehicles, click here.
Bicycles have two wheels and you cannot ride it well if you are unable to stay balanced all throughout the ride. This is what makes it better than bicycles because you get more stability. Tricycles also provide an easy way to ride uphill without you having to worry about maintaining your core balance. You can also increase or decrease your pace easily because you don't need to balance at the same time.
Because of its added stability, you also don't have to worry about loosing your balance when riding your tricycle which means that you have a lesser chance to meet an accident. Even if you are triking in a rocky road or any rough surface, you wouldn't also have to worry about losing control of the vehicle. Click for more information about safe triking here!
Bicycles can be too tall for the one riding it. However, with tricycles, you cannot encounter this problem because tricycles have shorter stance as compared to bicycles which means that it is suitable for all people regardless of how tall they are. There are also delta and cargo trikes available for a well adjusted seating that evenly distributes your weight for les restraint in your lower back. Visit this website to know more about delta and cargo tricycles now!
You can also strengthen your core are you trike which makes it perfect for exercising and cardio. There are also specific types of tricycles made especially for exercising. View here to know more about this type of tricycle.

ipod has playing for over 15 years!!!!
With Apple struggling with declining smartphone (iPhone) and tablet sales (iPad) sales, it is easy to point out, that Apple wants to make a come back with its refreshed MacBook line up after ignoring it for a really long time. With Apple's current hero product, the iPhone soon running out of steam, today also marks a day that should get a bit nostalgic for some, as it has been 15 years since Apple's first hero product, the iPod was announced. 2001 Apple iPod 2001 Steve Jobs unveiled its Apple iPod, in 2001, not knowing that it would be the company's next hero product. What he could have known was that iTunes would change the way we buy and listen to music. The first iPod featured 5GB of storage, a Firewire port for data and a rotating wheel which over the next seven years became the identity of the iPod. 2003 Apple iPod 2003 Despite its problems, Apple had a good first run with its music player. Two whole years later, Steve Jobs showed up with an improved version of the iPod (third generation). It looked a lot different (more modern similar to the MacBooks, and less rudimentary) and this where Apple separated the click wheel from the media control keys and introduced a touch interface. While the move made it easier to navigate music collections, it added more keys and 'more keys' (in Apple's philosophy) means more spends and more parts that can get damaged. Apple would soon move back to the older set up a few generations later. What happened this year was that iTunes was now available on Windows, which would make the iPod appealing to larger Windows-happy audience as well. 2004 Apple iPod 2004 Apple announced 2 models of the iPod with the introduction of the iPod mini. The mini was a less serious, more fun take on the iPod offering a variety of colours and was able to compete with players from Sony, Creative and others. A major leap with this generation of the standard iPod, was colour displays and the ability to store, browse and view photos. 2005 Apple iPod 2005 Apple introduces three models of the iPod. We had an affordable iPod Shuffle, a slimmed down iPod Nano and a fifth generation iPod that could now display, photos, videos and play music. Apple improved on the 2004 model's click wheel and new design was now the standard for iPods going forward. 2007 Apple iPod 2007 The beginning of change. This was when Apple introduced an iPhone slapped onto the back of an iPod minus it radios. It was a time when Apple began to understand that the iPod was losing out had to introduce something new. With that in mind we had the first generation of the iPod Touch and many who could not afford the iPhone, could use a Touch to run iOS apps. What was memorable about the iPod Touch was how it gave iPod users a taste of Cover flow which until now was already present on iTunes, and iPhones. Sadly, it was not meant for power users because of its low storage capacity. What it did give iPod users was a way to consume media, apps and games from the iTunes Store. In the same year, Apple introduced the iPod Classic (160GB), the name itself gave it away, that this was going to be a downward trend going forward. 2009 Apple iPod Nano 2009 With iPhone on the rise and with flash memory becoming more reliable and popular, it was clear that Apple had to ignore the iPod, and focus on its iPhone, its next hero product. Apple started scavenging what was left of the iPod and came up with the colourful fifth generation Nano which had a different form factor. It was slim light, but offered little storage and felt more like an after thought to keep the iPod alive. iphone_3gs This is more so, because users would be buying, apps, games and music on the iPhone 3GS, which also connected those apps to a fast 3G connection. Times were changing. 2010 Apple iPod Shuffle 2010 The year 2010 saw the launch of Apple's tinniest iPod, the Shuffle, it lost its stick-like form factor introduced with the first Shuffle. It was tiny and it could easily have been mistaken for a headset remote. 2015 Apple iPhone 5se iPod hot pink In its current form, the iPod Touch in its sixth generation does not even need to exist. It is easy to point out how the iPhone cannibalised the sales of the iPod. While things did not change immediately after the launch of the first iPhone, this could be blamed on the storage problem. Back in 2007, Apple offered its first iPhone with 4GB, 8GB and 16GB storage capacities. Compare this to the iPod Classic which offered 160GB of storage (HDD) meaning that it was easy to pick one if you loved to carry around your music. In fact, even back then, I knew of folks who would carry around their life's worth of music in two iPod Classics. After the launch of the iPhone 4 that capacity went up to 32GB (maximum) and saw a big jump with the iPhone 5 with 64GB option available. Today's iPhone 7 takes it to another level by offering storage capacities of up to 256GB on both standard and Plus models. So why did Apple introduce the iPod Touch last year, when it also announced that it no longer disclose iPod sales going forward? Well, as Fortune points out, it is aimed at kids, who will not usually get a cellphone this early, giving them an idea about what the Apple Ecosystem has on offer. It has been a long 15 years and it's time to finally say goodbye!

A Little Bit of Catch-up
By Johonna Jun 30, 2010, 10:43am CEST
Share All sharing options for: A Little Bit of Catch-up
Ok, ok. So I know I have been a little lazy in the whole blog department, but I am here now so lets make the most of it. While there hasn't been a whole lot of movement on the transfer front (read: none), there is still stuff to discuss. Oh, and Inter still has seven players heading into the quarter finals of the World Cup. Hooray for them! (and no, those are not actually my feet or popsicles. Everyone happy now?)
First of all, Inter's market has been moving glacially slow. I would like to think that this is because the club is making smart choices and holding out for good deals instead of chasing the first pretty face that catches Rafa's eye and throwing good money after bad. What I am afraid of, though, is that with all this talk of fair play, everyone needs to sell before they can buy, which means that there is no movement, any where. It is all very nerve wracking, especially given that each day there is no real news to report, the rumors become exponentially crazy (like trading Cambiasso for Mascherano - Yikes).
Alright, so there has been some movement. An itsy-bitsy amount of movement. Luca Castellazzi (right) is officially an Inter player until 2012. Toldo has moved into the front office while Orlandoni has renewed for another year. That means that Julio Cesar will finally get that Number 1 jersey while Castellazzi will be our second keeper. Orlandoni will continue on as third for another season while Vid Belec is going on loan to Crotone. As Inter has renewed their co-ownership with Bologna for Viviano, Inter is set for keepers for the next few years. It is too bad that Toldo decided to retire during the summer. It would have been nice to give him a proper San Siro send off.
Youtube phenom and Brazilian wonder boy Phillipe Coutinho has finally come to Milan. There was some talk of him going out on loan to get a little Serie A experience, but so far there has been no word of that and both Parma and Chievo say that Inter has not contacted them about a loan. Philippe wants to be Inter's new Adriano. Well, that is all well and good but I can do without another alcoholic party boy with a table full of salt. Lets just hope he goes for only Adriano's virtues and leaves the vices alone. There is a lot of hype around this boy. I am reserving judgment until I see him acutally play a game for us. I just dont trust Youtube.
Other "additions" to the team are mostly players either coming back from loan deals or co-ownerships that have been settled in Inter's favor. Two of the latter are Mariga and Biabiany, both from Parma. Biabiany is an Inter youth product the club is calling back while we all saw Mariga in action last season. I guess he made the cut because now he is 100% Inter.
According to that paragon of truthiness (tm Steven Colbert), goal.com, Inter has purchased half of Andrea Ranocchia for 7.5 million euro from Genoa. This is the first have heard of this so take it with a large dose of salt (preferably followed by a shot of tequila and a refreshing squeeze of lime). Now, I am not saying that Inter didn't, certainly he has been a target since last winter, but I was under the impression that we had a deal to make a deal with Genoa (sort of like being engaged to get engaged). Preziosi says that Ranocchia will play next season with Genoa so dont look for him in black and blue any time soon.
The Frogman Cometh... in 2011
Other transfer targets are proving more slippery. Branca, along with half the civilized world, has his eye on German phenom Ozil, but, much like 80% of professional footballers, he only has eyes for Barcelona. Given that Barca are returning his affections, Inter and Branca really dont have a chance. Best just to move on.
Rafa still has a huge chorizo for Mascherano. Funny enough, Barcelona also have him their sights and we all know that what ever baby wants, baby gets. Well, that and Liverpool are being a bit contrary and have totally inflated his price. Unfortunately for us Inter fans, the Plan B in this case seems to be the brutish and general waste-of-space Filipe Melo. I just cant believe that any one would actually pay cash money for that walking foul - in fact, I think that Juve should have to pay a club to come haul him away. In case it wasn't completely obvious, I dont much like this target.
Strangely enough, Inter has also been linked with Palermo's Cavani although I think that has all fallen away. The speculation here is that originally Mou wanted Milito so Inter was looking at Cavani as a sort of replacement (he would play the wide role and Eto'o in the center). Hence the linkage and Cavani expressing his undying love for the Nerazzurri in an interview with La Gazzetta. Now, though, that Higuain is doing well at the World Cup and Milito is decidedly not, Mou has dropped our Prince like a hot rock and so Cavani's love will go unrequited. I know, it is like an opera libretto, or perhaps the plot to an old Melrose Place episode. The upshot is, Milito gets his raise, we fans get his "I love Inter" sound bites, and Cavani gets to go to England.
As for other transfer targets, there has been mention of Elano (meh) and more recently, Dutch international Eljero Elia (at right; now him, I like). Elia is getting lots of positive exposure at the World Cup and I cant help but think that every completed pass for the Netherlands adds half a million on to his asking price. This one may be a long shot as well. Speaking of the Dutch, I think the Kyut thing has finally gone away. I dont know if he was actually ever a serious target, though, or just a press fantasy.
And now we turn to our summer drama: As the Full Backs Turn.
When we last visited Defender Island, Maicon was being courted by the dastardly Perez, who, for some unknown reason, had decided that this year was the year he was going to finally get fiscally responsible. As such, although he was flashing some cash, it wasn't anywhere near enough to turn the head of our hero, Sr. Moratti. In fact, it was such a pittance (20 million euro) as to be almost insulting. So Moratti sent Perez packing. Still, though, with the possibility of Maicon's departure hanging over the head of the club like a poisonous spider, the club did what it could to protect its interests - it started looking around for a replacement. Names like Michel Bastos (from Lyon) and Uruguayan Matais Aguirregaray...
As we rejoin our story, we find that...
Everything is exactly the same as when we left. Perez has inched up on the offer to 28, which is still a good deal below the 35 Inter was asking. It is thought that a compromise of 30 million would be accepted, but as of yet, no such offer has come. Which is a problem for Inter. Without that money, the club cannot move on other purchases like Aguirregaray. Although he has "chosen Inter," he may not get to actually play here.
Wont someone please help this boy fulfill his dreams?
His agent has set a deadline for June 30 (today) and if Inter doesn't finalize, then the kid will go elsewhere (he is the one on the left in the photo above - lucky #13). Why does everything have to be so difficult? We get his hopes up only to have to dash them. Mean ol' Mr. Perez. See the pain you are causing? We all know you want Maicon as a special wedding present for Mou. Well, if you can spend a gagillion billion euro on CRon and Kaka, then I just dont see how 30 million for Maicon will break your bank. Just pony up the two million more so we can all get on with our lives.
So far, no one has made any firm offers for any other Inter players. Well, Roma really really really want Burdisso, but not enough to actually pay for him. To be fair, they dont have two thin dimes to rub together. The club is standing firm - 8 million. One thought is that Roma will sell Mexes to Juventus to raise the cash - which makes me giggle 'cause that is like killing two birds with one stone. Inter gets cash and I get to watch Mexes concede goals for Juve. Hooray! (not that I think Juve would be silly enough to actually buy Mexes - yikes) Anyway, 8 million is less than Inter could get for him on the open market so as far as I am concerned, Roma are already getting a good deal. How they come up with the cash is their problem.
Milan did not take up the option to buy Mancini so he will supposedly be coming back to the fold. The thought is that he will go back on loan next season to Milan, because just having him on someone else's roster is worth giving him away for free, except that now there is a thought that Lyon might like him. If so, perhaps he can be used to sweeten a possible Bastos deal (who has been begging Lyon to let him come to the Serie A). Bastos, though, is one more thing that hinges on Maicon. (I will bet you all cash money right now that Inter draw Real Madrid in the CL groups).
As for Muntari, everyone seems to take it for granted that he will be sold back to England somewhere, possibly as part of a Mascherano deal. Unfortunately, Muntari says that he doesn't want to go anywhere. As far as I know, no club has made an offer on Muntari anyway. For now, he stays, I guess. Maybe if he does something besides argue with the coach in South Africa, a few clubs will take notice.
Awwww. I just really wanted to use this photo somewhere
Speaking of South Africa, as I said, Inter have seven player about to enter into the quarter finals with their respective national teams: Muntari (Ghana), Sneijder (the Netherlands), Julio Cesar, Maicon, Lucio (Brazil), Milito and Samuel (Argentina).
This Friday will be particularly hard for my heart as Brazil take on the Netherlands. Maybe there is a way they can both go on and Spain can go home instead. Maybe the entire Spanish National team will get red carded for being whiny little bitches, divers, and generally insufferable and both Brazil and the Dutch will get to go on. I know, unlikely, but a girl can dream. (I dont like the Spanish National Team. It is my opinion and no amount of flaming will change my mind so dont even bother.)
Ghana also play on Friday, they will take on Uruguay. You know, Ghana just may take them, too. Saturday morning, Argentina will meet their toughest opponent yet, Germany. This will be a real test for squad and for Maradona as coach. If he pulls this off, people may actually start to take him seriously. Well, at least until he runs naked around the obelisk in Buenos Aires.
As for Inter's "American Tour," it has expanded a bit to include Canada as well. As far as I know, the schedule now stands at:
Baltimore: Inter v Manchester City, July 31
Toronto: Inter v Panathinaikos, August 3
Dallas: Inter v Dallas FC, August 5.
Even though they have not admitted it on their web page, the Galaxy date has been canceled. My ticket rep said that a "really big team" would soon be announced to take Inter's place, but I really dont care. If you bought Inter v Galaxy tickets, I suggest you call the club 'cause I dont think that game will happen. I think tickets are available from Ticket Master for the other games.
Well, I guess that is about it. If I have missed anything, please post it to the comments.
As always...
FORZA INTER
Thanks for the video, Paolo

Капела на Ртњу или капела Светог Георгија је културно историјски споменик изграђен на планинском врху Шиљак, на планини Ртањ у знак сећања на некадашњег трагично настрадалог власника рудника угља "Ртањ" Јулијуса Минха.

Историја
Историја капеле везује се за причу о богатој јеврејској породици Минх која је поседовала параћинску фабрику штофова, а касније, прешла у посед и ртањског рудника каменог угља.

Након што је Јулиус Минх једног дана наводно извршио самоубиство у Београду под неразјашњеним околностима, његова супруга Грета са Јулиусовом браћом преузела је руковођење рудником. У знак сећања на свог покојног мужа, Грета је одлучила да сагради црквицу-капелу на Ртању, на планинском врху, високом 1.565 m.

Градњу капеле на врху Шиљак обавило је око 1.000 радника, међу којима је било и доста становника села под Ртњем, током 1935. и 1936. године, за само 365 дана, подигнута је капела Светог Георгија. Сав потребан материјал, укључујући и камен за изградњу капеле допреман је на врх Ртња магарцима и потом уграђиван у објекат.

Након што је капела освештена 1936. године, постала је симбол ове планине.

Девастација капеле
Након гашења рудника "Ртањ" 1968. првобитно становништво Ртња, које је остало без посла у потрази за зарадоми у злату почело је са првим скрнављењима и копањем у капели. Највећу девастацију капеле, извршили су неумољиви трагачи за златом на планини Ртањ, 1992. године, који су у неколико наврата динамитом срушили већи део капелице.

На овај вандалски чин подстакла их је прича о злату и драгуљима у утроби планине Ртањ, а која је вероватно везана и за легенду о наводном дворцу чаробњака, који је постојао на овом месту и био висок колико и данашња планина, у коме је чувао огромно благо.

Након девастације само део источног зида још одолева зубу времена. Након иницијатива да се капела обнови с почетка 21. века, поштоваоци Минхових ставили су на место срушеног олтара велики крст, који је постао обавезно место ходочашћа многобројних љубитеља природе који посећују Ртањ.

Record iPad Sales Make Apple the World's Largest PC Manufacturer
Cody Lee on January 31, 2012
A week ago Apple announced record-breaking results for its latest quarter, selling more iPhones and iPads in the three month period than ever before. In fact, its iPhone sales made Apple the number one smartphone manufacturer in the world (by volume).
And apparently, the company's tablet sales had a similar effect on its position in the computer industry. According to a report by The New York Times, the company that proclaimed the "post-PC" era — Apple — is now the biggest maker of PCs in the world…
Citing a report from Canalys research firm, The NYT reports:
"The 15 million iPads and five million Macintoshes that Apple sold during the period accounted for 17 percent of the approximately 120 million PCs shipped during the fourth quarter, Canalys said. The firm said tablets — Canalys calls them "pads" — accounted for 22 percent of total PC shipments during the fourth quarter, with Amazon's Kindle Fire and Barnes & Noble's Nook included."
Of course, all of this is based on the belief that tablets belong in the PC category, which has certainly been up for debate. Many think that only full-blown desktop computers and laptops can be described as personal computers, but the term transcends hardware.
As TechCrunch's MG Siegler puts it, ""PC" is about how people use and interact with computers, not what it looks like. Who cares what it looks like?" He also points out that the transition from laptops to tablets is very similar to the move from desktops to laptops we saw way back when, which is a fair comparison.
So to recap: if you believe that iPads are indeed a form of PC, then Apple is now the largest manufacturer of both smartphones and computers in the world. And if you don't, well then you must not be paying attention.

When winter comes many of us choose to abandon the wet water and play on the frozen stuff instead.
We still strap ourselves to kite and board but it's probably a foil kite and snowboard rather than an LEI and kiteboard and we ride slopes instead of waves.
If you want to learn how to join in the fun then come and visit Graykite's kite snowboarding school in Canmore.
Alberta is Canada's winter sports mecca. There are full blown resorts like Lake Louise and Banff where every need is catered for.
Canmore is their fun little brother. Think Prince Harry to Prince William. Still full on proper, but a lot more fun.It;s an amazing place with all the training facilities from the Winter Olympics are nearby. Spray Lakes provides a beautiful flat frozen surface to learn new skills and practice your tricks, and the locals are still genuinely friendly.
That's why Gilles Boudreau, our snowkiting guru, makes this great little town his home, and his training centre for the Red Bull kite snowboarding series.
When we say kite snowboarding, we don't mean just that. If you're happier with independent feet we are happy to teach you how to kite ski. It's kind of the same but different, so just go with what you prefer. Gilles is equally at home with both so you'll get an amazing experience whichever you choose to learn.
So there it is. We're on snow as well as water now. In Canada as well as Spain, Canmore as well as Tarifa. So if you want to learn to snowkite or improve your snowkiting skills come and see us in Canmore.


October, an upcoming Indian romantic drama film, is a slice of life love story written by Juhi (PIKU) and starring Varun Dhawan.
Matters are steadied, just, by Sircar's quiet sensitivity towards tiny signs of life.
October isn't predictable. The film stays true to its tonality. Shoojit and Juhi remain uncompromising and committed to creating a film that has textures like gossamer.
While movies regularly pivot on those who use heartbreak to find passion, October meditates on those who might never discover the difference between the two feelings.
October is the most ambitious collaboration yet between director Shoojit Sircar and screenwriter Juhi Chaturvedi.
Sircar and Chaturvedi bring a meditative quality to the story, and it is this quality that makes October stand out.
October is not bound by Indian sensibility alone; it is a humane story that will possibly enjoy a much wider appeal across international audiences.
Calling October only a love story will be injustice to its resilient tone. It's a battle, both inter-personal and intra-personal. It's not about logic or wise decisions, it's about how far can you go for the things you believe in.
Shoojit Sircar has exceeded himself and has given us a slow burner that doesn't hold its punches, doesn't give us false promises and yet teaches us that life can yet be beautiful even in the most adverse circumstances.
This film was as exciting as getting my blood drawn from a nurse for visa renewal purposes.

Wednesday (The Wild and the levels of losing) edition: Wha' Happened?
One of the classic Bill Simmons bits over the years was his "Levels of Losing" column, which received an update in 2007 to include 16 different types of devastating losses. We still revisit these 16 kernels of truth from time to time -- particularly after a local team suffers some sort of devastating loss.
Judging by last night's reaction on Twitter -- and the quotes from Wild players and coaches themselves -- Minnesota's meltdown against the Predators had that feel to it. Though it was just a regular season game, there was a sense that because of the timing and circumstances -- right after the All-Star break, with the chance to build on a modest winning streak after a brutal preceding stretch -- it meant much more in the grand scheme of things.
For those unaware, the Wild had a three-goal lead at home in the third period. The lead was still two goals with less than four minutes to play before the Predators scored three times in regulation to steal a 5-4 victory from the emotionally deflated Wild. So what kind of game was it in terms of the "Levels of Losing?" We'd have to say it was Level 6 -- the broken axle game.
Definition: When the wheels come flying off in a big game, leading to a complete collapse down the stretch.
Yes, that pretty much sums up last night's game. Strangely enough, the rest of the description of the Broken Axle game focuses on basketball and ends with this: "By the way, nobody has been involved in more Broken Axle Games than Rick Adelman."
We can only hope that is no longer true, and we can say with near-certainty that Simmons must not have watched many Glen Mason-era Gophers football games.

Kingston Symphony
Article by Anthony Whittingham, Evan Ware, Robin Elliott
Published Online October 2, 2007
The Kingston Symphony. Orchestra organized in 1953 as the New Symphony Association of Kingston. It succeeded several short-lived ensembles dating back to the mid-19th century and an earlier Kingston Symphony Orchestra directed 1914-36 by Oscar Telgmann.
The Kingston Symphony. Orchestra organized in 1953 as the New Symphony Association of Kingston. It succeeded several short-lived ensembles dating back to the mid-19th century and an earlier Kingston Symphony Orchestra directed 1914-36 by Oscar Telgmann. The orchestra became known as the Kingston Symphony Association (KSA; also the name of its umbrella organization) in 1963.
Under its first conductor, Graham George, the Kingston Symphony made its debut 12 Apr 1954 at Grant Hall in Haydn's The Creation with the Kingston Choral Society and a team of soloists that included James Milligan. The Grand Theatre later became the main venue for Kingston Symphony concerts. There were two concerts a year until 1957, but by 1990 the orchestra was presenting more than a dozen concerts each season. The Kingston Symphony was conducted by George 1954-7, William Hill 1957-9, Frédéric Pohl (one concert in 1960), Edouard Bartlett 1960-5, and Alexander Brott 1965-81. After a season of guest conductors, Brian Jackson was conductor 1982-91, when he was succeeded by Glen Fast.
Under Brott the orchestra developed into an important community orchestra of 60 musicians, including a professional core of nine contract players in first-chair positions. The Vághy String Quartet held first-chair string positions 1968-88. Gisèle Dalbec-Szczesniak became concertmaster in 1989. Under Jackson the orchestra presented operas (Fidelio 1983, La Traviata 1985, La Bohème 1988), and such works as Mahler's Symphony No. 2 (1984) and Symphony No. 5 (1989) and Bartók's Concerto for Orchestra (1987). The Kingston Symphony and Kingston Choral Society have performed together annually, and in 1988 they presented the premiere of Healey Willan's Requiem Mass as completed and orchestrated by F.R.C. Clarke.
Performances 1990s-Present
The Kingston Symphony had to scale back operations in 1996 after granting agencies cut its budget by over 12 per cent. To counter the loss, Fast instituted cost-saving measures such as programming a Baroque series, and using local and emerging soloists. These changes did not stop the orchestra from performing big works such as Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 and Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring (both in 1997), a concert version of La Cavalleria rusticana (1999), Carmina burana (2000), and - with the Durham and Oshawa symphony orchestras - Mahler's Symphony No. 5 at the Toronto Arts Centre (2007). With growing funding in the late 1990s and early 2000s, the orchestra once again welcomed renowned soloists such as Angela Cheng, Rivka Golani, André Laplante, Richard Raymond, Lara St John, and David Stewart.
Canadian Works Performed
Fast continued the orchestra's championship of Canadian music, premiering Chan Ka Nin's Violin Concerto (1998); Marjan Mozetich's Piano Concerto (2000); Srul Irving Glick's last work, Isaiah (2002); John Burge's Clarinet Concerto (2004); István Anhalt's The Tents of Abraham (2005); and Peter Paul Koprowski's Tapestries of Love: Symphony for Soprano and Orchestra (2007). The Kingston Symphony has also premiered works by Brott, Clarke, Clifford Crawley, Kelsey Jones, Bruce Pennycook, and Norman Sherman.
Near the end of the first decade of the 2000s, the Kingston Symphony is a professional orchestra of 55 musicians, 11 of whom are under annual contracts. They give 13 regular-season concerts divided into three series, as well as outdoor concerts at Fort Henry most summers. The orchestra normally plays in the Grand Theatre but, due to renovations, played at the Kingston Gospel Temple 2006-7.
The orchestra's budget had grown from a little over $2,000 in its first year, to over $400,000 by the 1988-9 season.
Member Groups of the Kingston Symphony Association
The Kingston Symphony Association is an umbrella organization that in 2007 included the Kingston Symphony, the Kingston Choral Society, the Kingston Youth Orchestra, the Kingston Youth Strings, the Kingston Community Strings, and the Volunteer Committee. The 60-piece Kingston Youth Orchestra was formed in 1968 by Bartlett and was conducted 1974-9 by Crawley assisted by John Gallienne. James Coles was conductor 1979-96. He was replaced by Gordon Craig. The Kingston Youth Strings is a training orchestra for the Kingston Youth Orchestra; it was conducted by Bob Clark until 1996 and since then by Gisèle Dalbec-Szczesniak. The Kingston Community Strings is a 40-member amateur string orchestra under the direction of Kingston Symphony musicians. The Volunteer Committee (the former Women's Auxiliary) comprises about 200 paying members and organizes fundraising activities and manages financial awards for young musicians.

NEW YORK – U.S. crude oil inventories declined far more than expected last week, while gasoline stocks decreased amid robust demand for the motor fuel, data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA) showed on Wednesday.
Crude inventories fell 4.2 million barrels to 459.68 million in the week to July 24, more than twenty times analysts' expectations for a decrease of 184,000 barrels.
U.S. crude imports fell last week by 396,000 barrels per day (bpd). At 2.7 million barrels for the week, that is more than half the week's decline in total U.S. crude oil inventories.
Crude futures turned higher and rallied after the release of the EIA report.
U.S. crude was up $1.02 at $49 a barrel at 11:13 a.m. EDT (1513 GMT), well above its session low of $47.39.
Brent crude was up 58 cents at $53.88, having dropped to $52.51 earlier in the session.
"The draw in crude stocks brought upward pressure in the market," said Gene McGillian, senior analyst at Tradition Energy in Stamford, Connecticut.
Crude stocks at the Cushing, Oklahoma, delivery hub fell 212,000 barrels, the EIA said.
Refinery crude runs fell by 108,000 bpd, EIA data showed. Refinery utilization rates slipped 0.4 percentage point to 95.1 percent of capacity.
Gasoline stocks dropped by 363,000 barrels, compared with analysts' expectations in a Reuters poll for a 512,000-barrel gain.
"The report was marginally bullish due to the large crude oil inventory decline and the robust gasoline demand," said John Kilduff, partner at Again Capital LLC in New York.
Averaging 9.51 million bpd over the past four weeks, U.S. gasoline demand was up 6.2 percent from the year-ago period, the EIA said in its report.
Total refined product demand in the United States during the last four weeks was at 20.09 million bpd, up 3.8 percent from the same period in 2014.
Production is way down to. It's going to be dropping off storage a lot quicker now. Oil will start to climb quickly. Anyone worried about Iran bringing oil to a full market. Don't worry because I guarantee the have already been dumping in the black market. 90 oil before years end!
Hope so shell just announced A new Round of layoffs. Starting in September. as well as Halliburton and Baker Hughes. BP is Laying people off Also and the end of the summer. Believe me man I hope it picks up I am from Texas and it has Slowed down about 40%. But the world bank predicts it will take 12 to 16 months for oil to pick up to the mid 60s.
Bill what will you do when oil does climb again? You going to apologize for being so negative and wrong about everything you've assumed? The numbers are there. OPEC NEEDS high oil to balance their budgets. That's the difference between us and them. Our government doesn't rely on oil like they do. You're in for a rude awakening once you figure it out.
I was laid off too because of the drop, it's hurting us greatly because of it. I'm in Houston and there has been major layoffs from big oil and gas companies, and now Shell announced too..
I pray your right Ron. I'm a consultant for a large oil company operating in west Texas. And I'm stressing everyday. But I like what your saying. Thanks god bless everyone. And I pray everyone laid off finds a job soon.
Production isn't down. It's up still.
This should help clear up any confusion that one may have about the money needed for the infrastructure of these oil producing country's. Saudi just borrowed $6 billion..yes that's not a lot of money to them and yes it's borrowed from production but still it's a sign that oil is far to cheap for them to continue operating at these prices.
Production is way down? Where?
Looks to be way UP from one year ago – by 1 million bpd.
Some of the gain is from the Gulf of Mexico. There are several very long term projects there coming on line in '15 and '16.
The Gulf of Mexico will see a historic boom in oil production over the next two years, led both by new offshore projects and redevelopment of older oilfields, according to Energy Information Administration projections.
The agency said Tuesday (March 3) it predicts Gulf of Mexico oil and gas production will reach 1.52 million barrels per day this year, jumping to 1.61 million barrels in 2016. Production hasn't been that high since early 2010, according to agency data.
Another example of increased field or area production even though rig count has been down.
Bakken production has also increased, adding about 650 wells on line in 2015. Production per well is slightly down but total daily production is up over 100,000 from a year ago.
Wait until the slingshot effect comes from all those rigs getting stacked out… those inventories will disappear quick.
7/31/2015 $47.12. How low will it go??
Could be Brenton, hope not.
I hear gas is going below $2.00 a gallon by the end of the year . Thanks Obama ! Your Iran deal just killed the oil industry in the USA .
The oil market is like a big ship . It turns slow . But it's definitely turning up . The trend is oil is no longer being over produced. We are no longer positive storing it. Demand is coming back. Production doesn't start back up overnight. Kelly , that's not sarcasm. It's fact.
Wow it fell! North Dakota still a poo hole!
Low oil doesn't benefit anyone. Why is your gas still expensive ? The energy sector provides many jobs and investment in communities.
You guys need to get out of oil industry or quit crying about it. You make more in 6 months than most people do in a year.
Why get out? The cry baby's that don't make enough should better there situation. Not cry about wanting 15 an hour to fudge up a meal at McDonald's.
Yes, but these guys bust their asses too,long hours and days away from family, and no I don't like paying 4 dollars a gallon for gas but I will because it keeps people working! And the prices should be a lot lower than they are for as many people that have lost thier jobs including myself! No I'm not out on a rig but because of the economy in now out of work as well as a lot of my friends and family, who do work the rigs!!! So I'm happy to be called Oilfield Trash,just get our jobs back!!!!
And we also work harder than most people to earn that money.
Without us going after oil the world will stop. Gas rubber diesel plastic all come from oil. Without it products cant be made or transported to people and stores.
We don't work 40 hours per week Randy Rolland. Most of us get one weekend a month off .
I don't work 40 hrs a week either Johnny A Smith. Come follow me into a house that's fully involved in fire. I only get 1 full weekend a month off. You boys ain't the only people that work.
The only bad remark comes from a woman. Not surprised. I support oil industry. Worked there when I was younger. If your an unemployed oil field worker its because of the greed of your company. They don't want to get the oil and make a profit. They will lay people off and wait on oil prices to climb so they can make hundreds of millions in profit quarterly.
I'll follow you in any day brother, Firefighter/Emt for 10 years.
Nice to here from a brother FF Rob McCree. 28 1/2 years on the job. We earn our money also as you no. FF don't complain like oil field workers. We show up and do a job.
Randy Rolland who's crying about it. We are having a descussion.
Firefighters make a great living. But in Kern county, California where oil , gas and agricultural are the main industry. Guess what if they aren't paying taxes to our county and city . Firefighters and other tax funded jobs get cut.
If a 1$ a gallon increase in the price at the pump makes someone go broke, they probably shouldn't have chosen fast food as a career. Americans need to live within their means, and stop blaming others ( oil companies) for their woes.
We in the patch need to realize we are part of a commodities market. I hope for high prices, like the rest of you. But you cannot blame others for wanting cheap oil.
Luis Garcia you don't have a clue . Gas is just a small part of oil . Plastics , rubber , anything synthetic pharmaceutical industry. Guess what? It has to be priced high enough to continue exploration. If not and we don't replace wells . When demand goes up you are going to be paying 10 dollars a gallon .
To many people are short sided in their thinking or lack of knowledge.
Well idk about you guys but I'd rather spend money on something I can use rather than put it in my tank every week. Idk maybe its just me.
Forrest if fuel jumps a dollar a gallon there's going to be a whole lot more people hurting than just fast food workers. The cost of you being able to walk into the store and buy what you need will go up because the fuel surcharge will increase as well as rates for freight. It hurts everyone. I was hauling sand but had to come out here to haul freight to pay for my truck.
I work in the field.. I agree oil needs to be up, but it wouldn't hurt to have a happy medium.
It will go back up!
Hope it stays below $70!
Well than lets frac this! Yee Haa!
Ron I don't know where you think demand is on the rise because it's falling. China's stock market is giving us fits here, people are tepid to spend money since we have the lowest rise in wages in quite some time. The demand season just ended so as much as I wish it would rise again, it looks like oil will keep dropping for a while before it begins to rise. More and more oil coming out of the ground, companies starting to refrac existing wells and most of the energy companies have been hedged at about 90.00 and that is about to end at the end of the fiscal year. Interest rates will probably go up soon so the interest payments will be due. It's not looking good right now.
Take a look at Saudi Arabia's supplies and tell me there isn't going to be that "sling shot" effect. They will be out of stored oil by 2018 if they continue what they are doing.
Well I'm in Houston and I have seen a lot of crude oil haulers laid off including many of my coworkers. It has been slow for months and it isn't looking good either.
Production is up in certain areas. I haul crude oil. We are screaming for help. Future operations is in trouble. The only reason the supplies are going down is due to lower prices and more people hitting the road.
Ron Emms, you speak the truth. People who are not in the oil and gas business have no clue how it. Works. They read analysts reports who try and run down or up the forecasted prices for certain markets. Also, you do not stock pile 1200 (rigs and counting) in yards across the country and expect current wells to keep up with demand. As far back as the 30s prices have gone up and down only to see it go back up 3times what it fell to. It's a cyclical business that keeps repeating itself. Iran has been selling on the black market thus, won't hurt us as much as people think. We all know that the shale plays have a certain decline rate and it's a matter of time before the analysts figure out our inventories are alarmingly low for 1200 rigs being out of service. May not be $90 by year end but it won't be below $75!!!!

The Stettiner General-Anzeiger Building in Szczecin () was an office building, which was located at the corner of today's Opłotki Street and New Market, in the Old Town, in the Centre district. It was destroyed in a bombardment in the 1940s.

History
The house was built in the late 19th century. It was designed by the architect C. Kelm. The building replaced two older buildings: tenement house no. 3 inhabited by a shoemaker Brünnlein and tenement house no. 4, which was owned by an innkeeper Müller. The new building became the seat of the editorial office of the newspaper Stettiner General-Anzeiger, founded by Ewald Gentzensohn in 1848.

During the bombing of Szczecin between 1943 and 1944, the New Market area was destroyed. The surrounding buildings were demolished in the 1940s, but for unknown reasons the ruins of the Stettiner General-Anzeiger building survived until around 1954. After 1995, construction work began on the site of the building in connection with the revitalisation of the lower Old Town. However, no decision was made to restore the original appearance of the Stettiner General-Anzeiger building. The original division of the plot into two parts was reinstated and a new, post-modern building was erected on plot no. 3. In 2005 the editorial office of Głos Szczeciński was moved to the new building.
