This living rooms will surely inspire you to bring in that brown leather chair!
The furniture in our homes is made of various materials. It could be wood, plastic, steel, and others. There is also leather furniture which brings sophistication to the space where you add it. Leather is a common material used for sofa, couches, ottomans, chairs and others. But because of the material, it is more expensive. Although most of them would use synthetic leather instead of the genuine one, it still looks nice. This happens because the real ones come with a very high price tag. Today, we are going to show you some living rooms that features brown leather chairs.
Well, when you hear the term "leather," the color that is immediately associated with it is either black or brown. But there are also leather chairs that come in different colors like red and yellow which could be a bold addition to your home. But today, we are going to show you a list of brown leather chairs in living rooms. With this, you will get an idea on how to set up your leather chairs which would depend on the design and size of your chairs as well as the shape and size of the space. So if you are looking for ways on how to add your leather chair in the living room, the well-designed spaces below will no doubt be a good source of inspiration.
A comfy and cozy living room that features brown leather lounge chairs as well as a shag rug, and a large gray sectional. What added to the warm feel of the space is the stone fireplace surround.
This living area made use of a marble fireplace which brings more elegance to the space. You can see here an American Leather chair which looks nice with the vintage cowhide.
At first glance, the colorful throw pillows attracted my attention. It is a good idea to bring light pastel colors that bring more zest to the area which features brown leather chairs.
Black and white throw pillows are used in this space. But what made it lovely is the use of various patterns on the pillows. Also seen here are a pair of large brown chairs that compliment with the fireplace surround.
A long and narrow living area added two brown leather chairs but it doesn't have that boxy feel because of the window behind the chairs.
The chairs in this living area look classic but the area has a contemporary style. Despite its classic appeal, it fits well in the space.
A neat traditional living area wherein everything falls on a shaggy area rug, bringing texture to the space.
What I like here is the unique design of the furniture from the corner table to the curvy leather chairs.
I'm sure you have seen this living area before here on Home Design Lover but we can't just exclude this because of how beautiful it is. What really made this stunning are the colors from the painting to the chair.
I know your attention was drawn to the ottoman that is pushed under the table but notice also how the brown chairs added more life to the area to avoid it from looking too dull.
If you think brown doesn't go well with red, then this space will make you think twice. The flooding of natural light into the interior also added to the cozy feel of the home.
Isn't this lovely? It sure is! The brown chairs compliments with the wooden center table and the white colors also bring more sophistication to the living room. I also love that simple wall decor located in the dining area.
This living area combines blue, brown and black. And surprisingly, they all work well together, especially that most of the space is painted white.
Two antique Le Corbusier leather chairs and a 1930s leather and metal club chair create a casual seating arrangement in this living room which was once a gardener's residence.
Aside from the chairs, there is also a brown leather ottoman that is being added to the living space. And a green love seat is also seen here as well.
At one glance, you will immediately know that this is a luxurious home. Aside from the curvy sofa and the beautiful accent furniture in the area, you can also see a pair of brown leather chairs.
Bring in brown to a gray living area and for sure, it will never fail to add more beauty to it.
For a farmhouse home, brown chairs are a must-have! It seems to complete the farmhouse feel in this living area.
Prompt a light red ottoman as a center table and surround it with brownish chairs- if you do this, you will never go wrong! And look at those lovely lamps!
This space has a rustic appeal and brown leather chairs are perfect for this kind of space. It doesn't look dark despite so many browns in the area.
So, what can you say? Leather chairs indeed come in various designs and styles. Apart from that, even the shade of the color brown also varies from one chair to another. But the varying chair designs actually help us to see which one would look great in our spaces. It also gives us ideas on how the arrangement could be done. You can notice that whatever the space is, whether it's traditional or modern, brown leather chairs look nice in it. Of course, the design of the chair contributes a lot to the appeal of the area. Which of the living areas above do you like the most?


Have you heard of the Bokashi compost buckets? They are awesome! In fact, when I go on holidays I miss my Bokashi bucket. I know, how weird. I can almost see you frowning at your screen now, wondering "why would she miss a friggin' compost bucket? Crazy greenie." Well, it's not the bucket as such that I miss, it's what it does: converting all my food scraps into compost for the garden. I cringe every time we go away and get super-human portions at a restaurant and simply can't eat it all and as the waiter takes the plate away I feel sad about how much perfectly good food goes to waste at every restaurant and household, every day of every year.
With every action you take, ask yourself if it was okay if everyone did the same.
Throwing a soft drink can out of the car window – not a big deal, right? If everyone did it: big mess.
Ripping a branch off a tree – what does one branch matter? If everyone did it: we wouldn't have any trees left.
Flushing tampons down the toilet – surely one tampon doesn't block the septic system. If everyone did it: flooded bathroom with lots of unpleasant stuff floating around.
Driving 500m to the shops instead of walking – it doesn't burn much fuel for that short distance and surely that bit of CO2 is not going to make any difference whatsoever. If everyone did it: traffic jam and global warming.
The Bokashi bucket however is something that, if everyone did it, the world would be a better place. It is THAT good.
Basically, it's a closed container. You simply chuck in all your food scraps, put some microbes on it, close the lid and let the microbes do their thing. When the bucket is full, you dig the contents into the garden where it'll break down completely. That's it in a nutshell.
Here is what makes it so awesome: when I say "chuck in all your food scraps" I mean it. Fruit & veggies? Of course. Leftover cooked meals? Yupp. Meat? Yes. Coffee ground & tea bags? Yupp. … Bones? Yeah. Fish?! Sure. … Dairy? Go for it. Mmmhhhh…. Stuff that's gone off in the back of the fridge? Should be right.
Some things take longer to break down than others (bones, tea bags and egg shells seem to take longer) and you shouldn't fill a whole bucket with just meat, or just leftover oily pasta dishes. But absolutely chuck in the steak off-cuts (well, I can't make it past the dog and the chickens with steak off-cuts but if you didn't have omnivores with voracious appetites lunging at you in the backyard you could definitely put it in the Bokashi bucket) or add the container full of pasta carbonara that you kept in the fridge for lunch and it kind of got forgotten, maybe, oops..
This is the big advantage over conventional compost systems that can't do citrus, meat, dairy or bones, or even better: you can use it in addition to conventional compost systems which works very well!
I'm proud to say that pretty much no organic material from our places adds to landfill. No rotting leftover meat, no mouldy grass clippings, no sloppy rubbish bags full of food waste. It all returns to earth one way or the other.
If I ever die (well I will eventually) and was to get reincarnated I might want to come back as the next person moving into our house in Meekatharra, because that backyard is going to be one fertile patch of land!
Probably more benefits that I can't think of now. I'm hungry.
Oh, writing this got me all excited to go back home tomorrow after our lovely holiday. I'll give the dog a big cuddle, I'll talk with the chickens, and I might even wave a friendly hello to my beloved Bokashi bucket.
oh Svenja, reading your posts is like have a cup of tea with you, or a glass of wine. I can hear your nerdy excitement in your posts. they are a very well-written expression of yourself.

Media union demands Corus pay all workers fairly
Meagan Gillmore
rabble news
There's more than a $10,500 wage gap frustrating the Canadian Media Guild's (CMG) efforts to secure a first contract for broadcast technicians at Corus Entertainment in Toronto. The union also alleges the company is breaking the law by discouraging employees who want to join a union.
CMG represents nearly 50 broadcast technicians at Corus's offices in Toronto. The union and the company have been negotiating a first contract since March. Meetings are scheduled for the end of November. Legal counsel for the union, Sean FitzPatrick, said talks have largely gone well, and the sides have come to agreement on most issues.
But they're thousands of dollars apart on one key item: fair wages.
Some broadcast technicians are being paid, on average, $10,500 per annum less than their colleagues.
The wage difference stems from Corus's purchase of Shaw Media in 2016. The $2.65 billion sale saw Corus take control of 19 speciality channels, including Food Network Canada, HGTV Canada, HISTORY and Slice. It also included Global's conventional stations across the country.
The Shaw family owns both Corus and Shaw Media.
The CMG represented 17 broadcast technicians at Shaw. These employees moved to the Corus building in fall 2016 and began working alongside 31 non-unionized Corus employees.
In January, broadcast technicians at Corus voted to join CMG. It was far from unanimous. The original vote was 24 to 23. Corus challenged the ballot of former local union president Kelly Walsh. Corus withdrew its challenge after votes were counted on January 27. Walsh's ballot was counted on January 31. It was in favour of the union, making the final result 25 voting "yes" to 23 voting "no".
The labour board certified the union in February.
Negotiations for a first contract began in March. (The contract between Shaw and CMG expired at the end of April.)
Chief among members' concerns is former Shaw employees make more money for doing the same job as technicians who were always with Corus.
The union wants to reduce that gap during the next three years, said FitzPatrick. But, he said, the union's been told the company is only interested in raising wages by 1 per cent.
The company's proposal of a minimal wage increase comes as Corus continues to turn a profit. Fourth-quarter results, released in October, say the company's consolidated revenue for the last fiscal year has increased by 43 per cent compared to this time last year. In a report to shareholders, the company attributes some of this growth to its purchase of Shaw Media.
Other TV companies, like Zoomer Media, use Corus's facilities to broadcast their signals. CMG members are the technicians for these signals, too. Matt Douglas, CMG staff representative, estimated Corus earns $20,000 a month because of this work.
"We're asking for a very small portion of what they're bringing in from the other channels," said Matt Douglas, CMG staff representative.
The union also alleges Corus is discouraging employees from joining a union.
Corus only wants to negotiate a contract that would expire on April 30. "This doesn't make sense at all," said FitzPatrick, who said one-year contracts are basically unheard of because it means the company and union are constantly in negotiations.
In an emailed statement to rabble.ca, Corus said the company is "engaged in ongoing discussions related to a variety of items, including wages and benefits. Our current focus remains on working through this process so we can reach a deal that's in the best interests of our people and Corus."
rabble.ca asked Corus if it was considering the length of the contract. The company said it would not comment on specific parts of the contract because negotiations are continuing.
The union hopes to negotiate a contract soon.
"The workplace dynamic is good," said FitzPatrick. "We don't want to upset that dynamic. We just want Corus to take a deep breath and treat us with respect and negotiate like adults with us."
FitzPatrick listed the short contract among ways the company is "generally trying to frustrate people who are wanting to be represented by a union." Legally, members can vote out unions during the last three months of contracts that run for less than three years. Shorter contracts could give employees a "constant ability (to) vote out the union," he said.
The company has made its anti-union stance clear. Hours after employees voted to join the union, they were told they would no longer receive parking passes. On January 31, shortly after the challenged ballot was counted, Corus employees who had joined the union for the first time received an email saying their employee benefits and pensions were now being determined by the agreement between Shaw and CMG.
This email was sent before the labour board certified the union.
The Canadian Labour Code, which regulates broadcasters, says someone cannot intimidate or coerce someone to join, or refuse to join, a union. In March, CMG filed a complaint with the Canadian Labour Board alleging Corus has engaged in unfair work practices.
The law says a company can't change the terms of employment after employees vote to join a union, said FitzPatrick, unless the labour board orders them to do so or the union gives them permission.
The union says in the complaint neither it nor Corus had asked for the Shaw contract to apply to members who had previously been unrepresented by a union.
FitzPatrick called some of the company's actions since the unionization certification "petty," such as reducing the amount the company would pay for prescription eye glasses from $300 every two years to $200 every two years.
The company favours non-unionized employees in other ways. An email sent to all staff said non-unionized employees could take the Friday afternoon before Thanksgiving off while unionized employees had to work. Non-unionized employees can also take Friday afternoons off during the summer along as they make the hours up later.
Some Corus employees have also sought for the union to be removed. In March, a Corus employee asked the labour board to revoke the union's certification. CMG objected, saying the law says such votes can't happen within the first 12 months after a union has been certified. In May, the labour board unanimously denied the request for a revocation vote.
Sean FitzPatrick told rabble.ca in an email that Corus has appealed this decision. The company did not respond to an email asking for comment on this decision before deadline.

Salomé, starring the Russian-born actress Alla Nazimova, is a rarely seen artwork of film history adapted from the controversial Oscar Wilde play with an abundance of sumptuously fantastic visuals.Made in 1923, Salomé loosely follows the biblical story of King Herod and his desire for his young stepdaughter. It is Salomé's desire for Jokanaan (John the Baptist) that causes her to dance before Herod….Inspired by the sounds of traditional Arabian ensembles, Charlie Barber's score is performed by four percussionists against a backdrop of pre-recorded vocal settings of psalms sung in Latin and Hebrew.
"Nazimova and her art director, Natacha Rambova, emulated the Aubrey Beardsley illustrations in the first edition of the play, and the result is highly stylised and ornately camp. Eighty-six years on, Barber's new music for the restored film fosters a new appreciation of the work's arthouse values.
The Fall of the House of Usher (France 1928) is probably Jean Epstein's best-known work in which the quality of the photography evokes comparison with the greatest masterpieces of the German cinema.For this new interpretation, Charlie Barber's score takes as its starting point musical sketches by Debussy for an uncompleted opera – adding a further twist to the foreboding atmosphere of this classic of early cinema.
Jean Cocteau's Le sang d'un poète (Blood of a Poet) (1930) explores the technical capabilities of film to magically transcend time, to capture creativity and to suspend physical laws. One of the true classics of the cinema and a key work of Surrealism, Cocteau's first film is an aesthetic tour de force consisting of a series of episodes and imaginary events. The strange and disturbing images and trick photography represent Cocteau's unique view of "the poet's inner self". Cocteau's combination of visual poetry and theatrical camp makes this a rich, fascinating and enigmatic film.
Made in 1928, Moulin Rouge is the story of an eternal love triangle set in the world of entertainment. Though described as "Britain's first Superfilm", the overall impression is far from British. Directed by Ewald André Dupont and featuring Russian actress Olga Tschechowa, the elaborate sets and rich shadowy lighting in particular recall the contemporary German cinema.Charlie Barber's new score – performed by four musicians and DJ – is influenced by both traditional Parisian cabaret and contemporary urban culture.


Sorry, the input file is either wrong or not supported by bcm43xx-fwcutter.
This file has an unknown MD5sum 9207bc565c2fc9fa1591f6c7911d3fc0.
tarball file itself is uncorrupted?
My experience with tar files says that if the file uncompresses and "un-archives", the tar file is not corrupted. Not a 100% guarantee of course. If files within the tar archive were corrupt, seems like more people would be complaining. So I can't rule this out, but it seems unlikely.
Watch out, I just read that there has been changes to the bcm firmware, and so bcm43xx-fwcutter doesn't work.

Combine the pumpkin and vanilla extract, and set aside.
Dissolve yeast and sugar in milk in a large bowl; let stand 5 minutes. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Add 2 cups flour, pumpkin mixture, margarine, salt, vinegar, nutmeg, and egg to yeast mixture; beat at medium speed of a mixer until smooth. Stir in 2 cups flour to form a sticky dough. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead dough until smooth and elastic (about 10 minutes); add enough of remaining flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent dough from sticking to hands.
Coat 24 muffin cups with cooking spray. Punch dough down, and divide in half. Working with 1 portion at a time (cover remaining dough to keep from drying), divide each portion into 12 equal pieces; shape each piece into a ball. Place 1 ball in each muffin cup. Cover and let rise 30 minutes or until doubled in bulk.
Like others, I was disappointed by the flavor - there is a distinct lack of pumpkin-y-ness in the final product. I tried adding more spices, but it still came out a bit bland. Probably won't make them again, unless I can figure out a way to pump up the pumpkin flavor. That said, the structure of the rolls themselves is perfectly fine.
These were OK and certainly have potential, but if I make them again, I will jazz them up a bit. They are soft with a great color that looks nice on the table, but have surprisingly little flavor. I like the suggestion from one reviewer to add pepitas. Definitely recommend an egg wash before baking to give the exterior more crust. I made knots instead of balls.
Fine, but seemed to need a little something -- I'd try to bring out the pumpkin flavor more -- possibly more spices or adding more pumpkin stuff. I did mine as knots, then brushed them with an egg wash and topped with chopped pepitas, which was a good inspiration. I liked it enough to want to experiment with it some more -- It looks festive and I'm taking these rolls to thanksgiving dinner.

MESSAGE TO SHAREHOLDERS
2020 was a year of significant uncertainty that brought many challenges to the energy sector. In response to changing market conditions including the sharp decline in global crude oil prices, Whitecap took decisive actions in early 2020 to protect our balance sheet, preserve liquidity and retain long term value for our shareholders. Our proactive decisions in the first quarter of the year allowed us to maintain our balance sheet strength, deliver strong financial results and positioned Whitecap for the strategic consolidation opportunities we executed on later in the year.
In the fourth quarter of 2020, our production was 5% higher than we forecasted. This allowed us to achieve average production in 2020 of 68,662 boe/d which generated funds flow of $434 million, invested $196 million in capital expenditures and returned $87 million to shareholders through cash dividends. Despite the extremely challenging environment, discretionary funds flow was $151 million which we used to improve our balance sheet strength by approximately $110 million resulting in year end net debt of $1.1 billion on total credit capacity of $1.77 billion.
Capital investment in 2020 decreased 52% to $195.9 million compared to $404.0 million in the prior year as we paused our drilling program at the end of March 2020, given the sharp decline in crude oil prices that had a severely negative impact on our expected return on capital employed. As a result of the limited capital program, our proved developed producing ("PDP") reserves decreased 7%, however, we were able to maintain total proved ("TP") and total proved plus probable ("TPP") reserves at levels comparable to the prior year.
We highlight the following 2020 financial and operating results:
Focus on sustainability. Funds flow of $433.9 million ($1.06 per share) and capital investment of $195.9 million resulted in free funds flow of $238.0 million. Free funds flow significantly exceeded dividend payments of $87.3 million in the year.
Balance sheet strength. Reduced net debt by $110.2 million to $1.08 billion on total credit capacity of $1.77 billion. The Company's credit facilities have two financial covenants being debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") not exceeding 4.0 times and EBITDA to interest not less than 3.5 times. As at December 31, 2020, Whitecap's debt to EBITDA ratio was 2.2 times and its EBITDA to interest ratio was 11.2 times. For additional details refer to Note 11(a) "Bank Debt" in the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Reduce and manage cost structure. Operating expenses per boe decreased 4% to $11.84/boe and general & administrative expenses per boe decreased 15% to $0.82/boe.
Capital discipline and operational excellence. Achieved average production of 68,662 boe/d compared to 71,050 boe/d in the prior year, a decrease of 3% on a significantly reduced capital program. Capital spending decreased 52% to $195.9 million compared to $404.0 million in the prior year.
Solid asset performance. Total proved finding, development and acquisition ("FD&A") costs decreased 18% to $14.74/boe compared to $17.95/boe in the prior year and total proved reserve additions replaced 101% of production. Total proved plus probable FD&A costs decreased 41% to $12.51/boe compared to $21.06 in the prior year and total proved plus probable reserve additions replaced 100% of production.
Prudent risk management. Realized commodity hedging gains of $10.6 million in the fourth quarter and $90.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.
In 2020, we also enhanced our ability to provide stronger shareholder returns through the announced strategic combinations with NAL Resources Limited ("NAL") and TORC Oil & Gas Ltd. ("TORC"). We closed the NAL acquisition on January 4, 2021 and closed the combination with TORC on February 24, 2021. Whitecap issued 58.3 million Whitecap common shares in exchange for all the issued and outstanding NAL shares and issued approximately 129.8 million Whitecap common shares in exchange for all the issued and outstanding TORC shares and assumed TORC's debt.
As a continuation of Whitecap's commitment to strong environment, social and corporate governance ("ESG") performance, we are also pleased to announce that Mary-Jo Case has been appointed to the Whitecap Board of Directors effective February 24, 2021 and will serve as a member of the Audit Committee and the Corporate Governance & Compensation Committee.
Ms. Case is an independent businesswoman with over 34 years of experience in the oil and gas industry. Prior to her retirement in 2015, Ms. Case was a member of the Senior Management Committee as Senior Vice President Land and Human Resources at Canadian Natural Resources Limited. Ms. Case has a depth of experience in the areas of mergers, acquisitions and dispositions, negotiations, contracts, land administration and land systems.
Ms. Case is a member of the Canadian Association of Petroleum Landmen, a member of the Institute of Corporate Directors, a member of the Women's Executive Network and a member of Board Ready Women. Ms. Case holds a Diploma in Legal Office Administration from Fanshawe College and holds the ICD.D designation from the Institute of Corporate Directors, Rotman School of Management.
We had a solid finish to 2020 which positioned us well heading into 2021. This year is starting off strong with the closing of both NAL and TORC, a very active first quarter drilling program with Whitecap operating six rigs and upward momentum in crude oil and natural gas prices. Our Board of Directors has approved a 2021 capital expenditure budget of $280 to $300 million which will generate average production of approximately 100,000 boe/d (78% oil and NGLs) during the year. With the recent surge in both crude oil and natural gas prices, we now anticipate generating funds flow of $810 million with free funds flow of $520 million and a total payout ratio of 49% based on commodity prices of US$60/bbl WTI and C$2.50/GJ AECO. We will remain disciplined in our approach to capital allocation with a focus on balance sheet strength and generating the strongest economic returns on our capital program while retaining the option to accelerate production per share growth and/or increase return of capital to shareholders in the latter part of the year while being opportunistic with respect to future business opportunities.
Advancing forward, we have created a New Energy team to leverage Whitecap's technology and expertise to significantly advance business opportunities associated with carbon capture and storage. This team is tasked with advancing the regulatory and business framework for low carbon solutions, the evaluation of low carbon hydrogen and other new energy opportunities, with the objective of creating additional sustainable revenue streams for our shareholders in the future.
Whitecap remains well positioned to deliver strong shareholder returns in 2021 and beyond with many competitive advantages, including the following:
Top tier balance sheet. Whitecap has a secured covenant-based credit facility that is not subject to annual redeterminations. Discretionary funds flow of approximately $415 million will result in net debt of $1.0 billion and a debt to EBITDA ratio of 1.1x at US$60/bbl WTI and C$2.50/CJ AECO. Concurrent with the TORC closing, we increased our credit capacity by $230 million to $2 billion providing us with ample liquidity to continue to manage commodity price volatility.
Significant free funds flow profile. Our premium assets are characterized by high netback, low base production declines and strong capital efficiencies. In 2021, Whitecap is expected to generate approximately $520 million of free funds flow, supported by a peer leading base production decline rate of approximately 17%.
Sustainable cash dividends. Monthly dividend increased 6% from $0.01425 per share to $0.01508 per share ($0.181 per share annualized) effective with the March 2021 dividend payable in April 2021. The 2021 annual dividend of $105 million is covered approximately five times by free funds flow.
Robust drilling inventory. 5,265 (4,108.0 net) drilling locations for organic growth and value creation. Corporate production over 100,000 boe/d allows us to drive down costs and improve capital efficiencies by eliminating redundancies, streamlining processes and negotiating preferential rates through size and economies of scale.
Leader in sustainability. Whitecap remains committed to best-in-class ESG practices and continuously improving its ESG standards. Whitecap is the majority owner and operator of the Weyburn Unit, one of the largest carbon capture, utilization and storage projects in the world, currently sequestering more than 2 million tonnes of CO2 annually and providing the Company with its net negative emitter status.
2021 BUDGET DETAILS
As referenced earlier, in 2021 we expect to deploy capital expenditures of approximately $280 - $300 million to generate average production of approximately 100,000 boe/d. The capital program comprises of drilling 100 (81.6 net) horizontal wells including 53 (47.2 net) extended reach horizontal ("ERH") wells and 8 (5.9 net) horizontal injection wells. In addition to our drill, complete, equip and tie-in costs, we will be investing approximately $67 million on enhanced oil recovery ("EOR") operations and optimizations as well as health, safety, and environmental initiatives throughout the year. This continued focus on enhancing our base assets through EOR capital will allow us to maintain, and potentially improve upon, our low base production decline rate of approximately 17% for 2021.
Eastern Saskatchewan
This business unit includes our Weyburn property in addition to the TORC and NAL southeast Saskatchewan assets where we anticipate spending 30% of our capital budget which includes drilling 16 (11.0 net) wells.
At Weyburn, we will be following up on our very successful northeast CO2 flood pilot expansion by drilling 6 (3.9 net) wells in the second half of 2021. This includes two CO2 water-alternating-gas ("WAG") injectors and $29 million for CO2 purchases. The TORC acquisition has increased our working interest in the Weyburn Unit CO2 flood by 3.2% to 65.3%.
In southeast Saskatchewan, we anticipate drilling 10 (7.1 net) wells in the second half of the year, including 5 (2.1 net) non-operated wells. The operated activity is focused on assets where we can optimize economic returns by using our extensive experience with fracture stimulation design, extended reach horizontal drilling and EOR schemes.
Prior to closing, the TORC team completed a very active and successful January and February capital program where they drilled 25 (23.2 net) wells. On average, early well results are significantly exceeding our budget expectations.
Western Saskatchewan
This business unit includes our light oil Viking assets, as well as our southwest Saskatchewan properties, where we anticipate spending 28% of our capital budget drilling a total of 61 (52.5 net) wells.
In the first quarter, we will be drilling 38 (33.0 net) wells including 26 (22.5 net) Viking wells, 6 (5.6 net) Atlas wells and 4 (4.0 net) Lower Shaunavon horizontal oil wells. Capital efficiencies in our lower Shaunavon drilling program have been exceptional with average drill times down 30% and costs down 15%. Most of the gains can be attributed to a new wellbore design that has improved our meters per day drilled significantly.
Our second half 2021 program includes 23 (19.5 net) drills with 12 (9.5 net) wells in southwest Saskatchewan and 11 (10.0 net) Viking ERH oil wells. The 2021 southwest Saskatchewan program includes the drilling 3 (2.0 net) horizontal water injectors to mitigate production declines and increase resource recovery.
Central Alberta
This business unit consists primarily of the combined Whitecap, NAL and TORC Cardium light oil assets in Alberta and the liquids rich Ellerslie asset where we anticipate spending 15% of our capital budget drilling 13 (11.0 net) wells.
We will have drilled 6 (4.8 net) wells in Central Alberta by the end of the first quarter, all of which are expected to be on production prior to break-up. This includes 4 (3.7 net) Cardium oil producers, 1 (0.9 net) horizontal injector in West Pembina and 1 (0.2 net) non-operated Ellerslie liquids rich gas well.
The second half capital program of 7 (6.2 net) wells includes 2 (1.7 net) ERH Cardium wells with two-mile laterals in our new Kaybob/Rosevear area. This area has suitable characteristics to apply ERH wellbores in combination with our optimized fracture stimulation design and placement which has proven successful in enhancing the economics in many analogous areas. The remaining drills will be 2 (2.0 net) 2-mile ERH Cardium oil wells in Olds and Garrington, 1 (0.8 net) horizontal liquids rich Ellerslie gas well and 2 (1.7 net) ERH wells in West Pembina, one of which will be a waterflood injector.
Capital allocation to the acquired assets from TORC and NAL is focused on accelerating the evaluation of the potential for enhancement of the existing inventory by utilizing methods and technology that Whitecap has repeatedly applied with success in analogous areas.
Northern Alberta & British Columbia
This business unit consists of our Boundary Lake, Deep Basin, Peace River Arch and Sturgeon assets where we expect to spend 23% of our capital budget drilling 10 (7.1 net) wells.
We will have an active first quarter in the area drilling 9 (6.1 net) wells including 6 (3.6 net) Cardium wells in Wapiti and 3 (2.5 net) Charlie Lake wells in our Valhalla area of which 6 (5.5 net) are ERH wells ranging from 1.5 to 2.0 miles in lateral length.
In the Wapiti program, we realized a step change in our drilling times and costs, decreasing both by approximately 20%. The gains were primarily through drilling design optimization and the benefits of multi well pad efficiencies. We anticipate these savings to be carried forward to future programs.
In addition to the drilling program, we participated in the completion of 1 (0.50 net) non-operated Montney oil well which was drilled in the fourth quarter of 2020. This well, along with the 1 (0.65 net) operated well which was completed in the fourth quarter of 2020, are in the process of being tied in and are expected to be on production by early April 2021. Production test results from both wells have been very encouraging.
2020 RESERVES REVIEW (WHITECAP PRIOR TO COMBINATIONS)
Our 2020 year end reserves were evaluated by independent reserves evaluator McDaniel & Associates Consultants Ltd. ("McDaniel") in accordance with the definitions, standards and procedures contained in the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook ("COGE Handbook") and National Instrument 51-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities ("NI 51-101") as of December 31, 2020. The reserves evaluation was based on the average forecast pricing of McDaniel, GLJ Petroleum Consultants ("GLJ") and Sproule Associates Limited ("Sproule") and foreign exchange rates at January 1, 2021 which is available on McDaniel's website at www.mcdan.com.
Reserves included are Company share reserves which are the Company's total working interest reserves before the deduction of any royalties and including any royalty interests payable to the Company. Additional reserve information as required under NI 51-101 will be included in our Annual Information Form which will be filed on SEDAR on or before March 30, 2021. The numbers in the tables below may not add due to rounding.

Performance Measures (Including FDC)
The following table highlights our finding and development ("F&D") and finding, development and acquisition ("FD&A") costs and associated recycle ratios, including FDC, based on the evaluation of our petroleum and natural gas reserves prepared by McDaniel:
Three Year
Proved Developed Producing
F&D costs (1)
F&D recycle ratio (2)
FD&A costs (3)
FD&A recycle ratio (2)
F&D costs are calculated as the sum of development capital of $187.7 million plus the change in FDC for the period of -$50.6 million (PDP), -$167.9 million (TP) and -$333.1 million (TPP), divided by the change in reserves that are characterized as development for the period.
Recycle ratio is calculated as operating netback divided by F&D or FD&A costs. Our operating netback in 2020 was $20.74/boe.
FD&A costs are calculated as the sum of development capital of $187.7 million plus acquisition capital of $22.4 million plus the change in FDC for the period of -$45.5 million (PDP), $163.5 million (TP) and $103.3 million (TPP), divided by the change in total reserves, other than from production, for the period.
Production Replacement and Reserve Life Index
The following table highlights our production replacement and reserve life index ("RLI") based on the evaluation of our petroleum and natural gas reserves prepared by McDaniel:
Production replacement (1)
RLI (years) (2)
Production replacement ratio is calculated as total reserve additions (including acquisitions net of dispositions) divided by annual production. Whitecap's production averaged 68,662 boe/d in 2020.
RLI is calculated as total Company share reserves divided by the annualized fourth quarter actual production of 63,783 boe/d.

This press release contains forward-looking statements and forward-looking information (collectively "forward-looking information") within the meaning of applicable securities laws relating to the Company's plans and other aspects of our anticipated future operations, management focus, strategies, financial, operating and production results and business opportunities. Forward-looking information typically uses words such as "anticipate", "believe", "continue", "trend", "sustain", "project", "expect", "forecast", "budget", "goal", "guidance", "plan", "objective", "strategy", "target", "intend", "estimate", "potential", or similar words suggesting future outcomes, statements that actions, events or conditions "may", "would", "could" or "will" be taken or occur in the future, including statements about our strategy, plans, focus, objectives, priorities and position; our budgeted 2021 capital expenditures and average production for 2021; our anticipated 2021 funds flow, free funds flow and payout ratio and the underlying assumptions; Whitecap's position to deliver strong shareholder returns in 2021 and beyond; our expected 2021 discretionary funds flow, net debt and debt to EBITDA ratio; our 2021 decline rate; our anticipated 2021 dividends; quantity of drilling locations in inventory; our ability to drive down costs and improve capital efficiencies by eliminating redundancies, streamlining processes and negotiating preferential rates through economies of scale; our 2021 capital program and the allocation thereof; the number of wells to be drilled in 2021 and the timing, location, and target thereof; EOR projects and anticipated benefits therefrom; capital efficiencies in our lower Shaunavon drilling program, including new wellbore design, and anticipated benefits therefrom; use of ERH technology in combination with our optimized fracture stimulation design and placement and anticipated benefits therefrom; timing of certain wells to be on production; our ability to significantly upgrade the existing inventory on the acquired assets from TORC and NAL; our Wapiti design optimization and multi well pad efficiencies and the anticipated benefits therefrom. Statements relating to "reserves" are also deemed to be forward-looking statements, as they involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the reserves described exist in the quantities predicted or estimated and that the reserves can be profitably produced in the future.
The forward-looking information is based on certain key expectations and assumptions made by our management, including expectations and assumptions concerning prevailing commodity prices, exchange rates, interest rates, applicable royalty rates and tax laws; the impact (and the duration thereof) that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on (i) the demand for crude oil, NGLs and natural gas, (ii) our supply chain, including our ability to obtain the equipment and services we require, and (iii) our ability to produce, transport and/or sell our crude oil, NGLs and natural gas; the ability of OPEC+ nations and other major producers of crude oil to reduce crude oil production and thereby arrest and reverse the steep decline in world crude oil prices; future production rates and estimates of operating costs; performance of existing and future wells; reserve volumes; anticipated timing and results of capital expenditures; the success obtained in drilling new wells; the sufficiency of budgeted capital expenditures in carrying out planned activities; the timing, location and extent of future drilling operations; the state of the economy and the exploration and production business; results of operations; performance; business prospects and opportunities; the availability and cost of financing, labour and services; the impact of increasing competition; ability to efficiently integrate assets and employees acquired through acquisitions, ability to market oil and natural gas successfully and our ability to access capital.
Although we believe that the expectations and assumptions on which such forward-looking information is based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking information because Whitecap can give no assurance that they will prove to be correct. Since forward-looking information addresses future events and conditions, by its very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. These include, but are not limited to: the risks associated with the oil and gas industry in general such as operational risks in development, exploration and production; pandemics and epidemics; delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures; the uncertainty of estimates and projections relating to reserves, production, costs and expenses; health, safety and environmental risks; commodity price and exchange rate fluctuations; interest rate fluctuations; marketing and transportation; loss of markets; environmental risks; competition; incorrect assessment of the value of acquisitions; failure to complete or realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions or dispositions; ability to access sufficient capital from internal and external sources; failure to obtain required regulatory and other approvals; reliance on third parties and pipeline systems; and changes in legislation, including but not limited to tax laws, production curtailment, royalties and environmental regulations. Our actual results, performance or achievement could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking information and, accordingly, no assurance can be given that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking information will transpire or occur, or if any of them do so, what benefits that we will derive therefrom. Management has included the above summary of assumptions and risks related to forward-looking information provided in this press release in order to provide security holders with a more complete perspective on our future operations and such information may not be appropriate for other purposes.
Readers are cautioned that the foregoing lists of factors are not exhaustive. Additional information on these and other factors that could affect our operations or financial results are included in reports on file with applicable securities regulatory authorities and may be accessed through the SEDAR website (www.sedar.com).
These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this press release and we disclaim any intent or obligation to update publicly any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise, other than as required by applicable securities laws.
This press release contains future-oriented financial information and financial outlook information (collectively, "FOFI") about Whitecap's budgeted 2021 capital investments, funds flow, free funds flow, discretionary funds flow, net debt, debt to EBITDA ratio and dividends, all of which are subject to the same assumptions, risk factors, limitations, and qualifications as set forth in the above paragraphs. The actual results of operations of Whitecap and the resulting financial results will likely vary from the amounts set forth in this presentation and such variation may be material. Whitecap and its management believe that the FOFI has been prepared on a reasonable basis, reflecting management's best estimates and judgments. However, because this information is subjective and subject to numerous risks, it should not be relied on as necessarily indicative of future results. Except as required by applicable securities laws, Whitecap undertakes no obligation to update such FOFI. FOFI contained in this press release was made as of the date of this press release and was provided for the purpose of providing further information about Whitecap's anticipated future business operations. Readers are cautioned that the FOFI contained in this press release should not be used for purposes other than for which it is disclosed herein.
OIL AND GAS ADVISORIES
All reserve references in this press release are "Company share reserves". Company share reserves are the applicable company's total working interest reserves before the deduction of any royalties and including any royalty interests payable to the company.
It should not be assumed that the present worth of estimated future amounts presented in the tables above represents the fair market value of the reserves. There is no assurance that the forecast prices and costs assumptions will be attained, and variances could be material. The recovery and reserve estimates of the crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas reserves provided herein are estimates only and there is no guarantee that the estimated reserves will be recovered. Actual crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids reserves may be greater than or less than the estimates provided herein.
References to crude oil or natural gas production in this press release refer to the light and medium crude oil and conventional natural gas, respectively, product types as defined in NI 51-101.
"Boe" means barrel of oil equivalent based on 6 mcf of natural gas to 1 bbl of oil. Boe's may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of 6 mcf: 1 bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. In addition, given that the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an indication of value.
This press release contains metrics commonly used in the oil and natural gas industry which have been prepared by management, such as "acquisition capital", "development capital", "F&D costs", "FD&A costs", "operating netback", "production replacement ratio", "recycle ratio", and "reserve life index". These terms do not have a standardized meaning and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies, and therefore should not be used to make such comparisons.
"Acquisition capital" includes net property acquisitions less any non-cash amounts and the announced purchase price of corporate acquisition including any estimated working capital deficit or surplus rather than the amounts allocated to property, plant and equipment for accounting purposes and the aggregate exploration and development capital spending within the year on reserves that are categorized as acquisitions less the disposition of certain processing facilities.
"Development capital" means the aggregate exploration and development costs incurred in the financial year on reserves that are categorized as development. Development capital excludes capitalized administration costs.
"F&D costs" are calculated as the sum of development capital plus the change in FDC for the period when appropriate, divided by the change in reserves that are characterized as development for the period.
"FD&A costs" are calculated as the sum of development capital plus acquisition capital plus the change in FDC for the period when appropriate, divided by the change in total reserves, other than from production, for the period.
"Operating netback" see "Non-GAAP Measures".
"Production replacement ratio" is calculated as total reserve additions (including acquisitions net of dispositions) divided by annual production.
"Recycle ratio" is measured by dividing operating netback by F&D or FD&A cost per boe for the year.
"Reserve life index" or "RLI" is calculated as total Company share reserves divided by annualized fourth quarter actual production.
Management uses these oil and gas metrics for its own performance measurements and to provide shareholders with measures to compare our operations over time. Readers are cautioned that the information provided by these metrics, or that can be derived from the metrics presented in this press release, should not be relied upon for investment or other purposes.
Drilling Locations
This press release discloses drilling inventory in three categories: (i) proved locations; (ii) probable locations; and (iii) unbooked locations. Proved locations and probable locations are derived from McDaniel's reserves evaluation effective December 31, 2020 and account for drilling locations that have associated proved and/or probable reserves, as applicable. Unbooked locations are internal estimates based on our prospective acreage and an assumption as to the number of wells that can be drilled per section based on industry practice and internal review. Unbooked locations do not have attributed reserves or resources.
Of the 5,265 (4,108.0 net) total drilling locations identified herein, 1,738 (1,441.1 net) are proved locations, 305 (234.2 net) are probable locations, and 3,222 (2,432.7 net) are unbooked locations.
Of the 1,459 (1,187.7 net) FDC drilling locations identified herein, 1,307 (1,081.1 net) are proved locations, and 152 (106.6 net) are probable locations.
Unbooked locations have been identified by management as an estimation of our multi-year drilling activities based on evaluation of applicable geologic, seismic, engineering, production and reserves information. There is no certainty that we will drill all unbooked drilling locations and if drilled there is no certainty that such locations will result in additional oil and gas reserves, resources or production. The drilling locations on which we drill wells will ultimately depend upon the availability of capital, regulatory approvals, seasonal restrictions, oil and natural gas prices, costs, actual drilling results, additional reservoir information that is obtained and other factors. While certain of the unbooked drilling locations have been de-risked by drilling existing wells in relative close proximity to such unbooked drilling locations, other unbooked drilling locations are farther away from existing wells where management has less information about the characteristics of the reservoir and therefore there is more uncertainty whether wells will be drilled in such locations and if drilled there is more uncertainty that such wells will result in additional oil and gas reserves, resources or production.
The following table indicates our average daily production (including production from our major areas). Disclosure of production on a per boe basis in this press release consists of the constituent product types and their respective quantities as disclosed in the following table:
(bbls/d)
NGLs
(Mcf/d)
(boe/d)
Three months ended December 31, 2020
Northwest Alberta and British Columbia
West Central Alberta
West Central Saskatchewan
Other minor areas
Twelve months ended December 31, 2020
Disclosure of production on a per boe basis in this press release consists of the constituent product types and their respective quantities as disclosed in the following table:
NON-GAAP MEASURES
This press release includes non-GAAP measures as further described herein. These non-GAAP measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS" or, alternatively, "GAAP") and, therefore, may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures by other companies. See the Company's Management's Discussion and Analysis of financial condition and results of operation for the period ended December 31, 2020 for a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures.
"Discretionary funds flow" represents funds flow less expenditures on property, plant and equipment ("PP&E") and dividends. Management believes that discretionary funds flow provides a useful measure of Whitecap's ability to increase returns to shareholders and to grow the Company's business.
"Free funds flow" represents funds flow less expenditures on PP&E. Management believes that free funds flow provides a useful measure of Whitecap's ability to increase returns to shareholders and to grow the Company's business. Previously, Whitecap also deducted dividends paid or declared in the calculation of free funds flow. The Company believes the change in presentation better allows comparison with both dividend paying and non-dividend paying peers.
"Operating netbacks" are determined by adding marketing revenue and processing & other income, deducting realized hedging losses or adding realized hedging gains and deducting tariffs, royalties, operating expenses, transportation expenses and marketing expenses from petroleum and natural gas revenues. Operating netbacks are per boe measures used in operational and capital allocation decisions. Presenting operating netbacks on a per boe basis allows management to better analyze performance against prior periods on a comparative basis.
"Total payout ratio" is calculated as dividends paid or declared plus expenditures on PP&E, divided by funds flow. Management believes that total payout ratio provides a useful measure of Whitecap's capital reinvestment and dividend policy, as a percentage of the amount of funds flow.

Judi's clients love to rave about the services she provides…always proving that Beyond Expected…Is Extraordinary!
Leonard and I have moved several times over the years and had dealings with many realtors. it is not often that you find a Realtor that actually talks with you–not at you– and listens to what you have to say.
Even while our new home was in escrow Judi always had the time to take our calls. She stayed on top of things to make sure the inspections, repairs and paper work were all done properly and in a timely manner.
When we did hit a few bumps in the road, Judi knew exactly what to do to keep things on track. She is truly a professional.
All we can say is thank you so very mch for a job well done. You can be sure we will not hesitate to recommend Judi Monday's services for anyone looking for an honest, hard working professional Realtor.


Happy weekend, kittens! I don't know about you but I'm feeling the pull of the approaching holidays–thing are starting to wind down in the business world (though I was very kindly invited to a few work holiday dos which were a blast) and a deep seated desire to hibernate is making its presence known.
But it's not Christmas yet, ducklings, and so here's a tasty batch of links for your enjoyment early in the weekend. Jeff's got a shindig with friends today, I'm off on the hunt for a final present, and I have plans to scout out a poppin' pancake joint for review on the site if the brunch gods are with us. Let me know your plans, and any other great links you've found this week in the comments.
I confess, this tumblr find gives me a small dose of malicious satisfaction. Because I am a bad person.
I'm a month late to this one, but this piece hit me hard given the current political climate.
Some end of year music therapy for us all.
And some book therapy too.

Tips: The penne doesn't have to be cooked beforehand because it absorbs the liquid when refrigerated overnight. If you want to make it the same day, cook the pasta before combining with all the ingredients. For convenience, use precrumbled feta and preshredded mozzarella.
Combine first 3 ingredients in a large nonstick skillet; cook over medium-high heat until browned, stirring to crumble. Add mushrooms; cook 5 minutes or until tender. Add tomato paste and next 5 ingredients (tomato paste through whole tomatoes); stir well. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, 20 minutes. Set aside.
Place flour in a medium saucepan. Gradually add milk, stirring with a whisk until blended. Place over medium heat; cook 10 minutes or until thick, stirring constantly. Stir in cheeses; cook 3 minutes or until cheeses melt, stirring constantly. Reserve 1/2 cup cheese sauce. Pour remaining cheese sauce, beef mixture, and pasta into a 13 x 9-inch baking dish, and stir gently. Drizzle reserved cheese sauce over pasta mixture. Cover and refrigerate 24 hours.
Bake at 350°, covered, for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until thoroughly heated and pasta is tender; sprinkle with parsley, if desired.
My husband loved this. He said he thought it was missing something but not sure what. I think next time I will reduce (greatly if not all together) the thyme. Very overpowering for my taste but am not a big fan of it anyway.
Managed to be kind of bland & too much thyme at the same time. Needed more mozzarella, too! Nothing wrong with this dish, it just wasn't knock-your-socks-off.
My kids are not big on veggies and they could taste them in every bite. I liked it after I got over the smell of the thyme, which I couldn't really taste but the smell was very overpowering.
Recipe as it's written needs work and is very bland! I added some red wine and balsamic to the meat mixture, as well as some basil and red pepper flakes. Next time I'll add more feta to the cheese sauce and maybe some sundried tomatoes to the tomato/meat sauce!
Delicious casserole, but I made some significant changes. My family does not like chunky tomatos, so I substituted spaghetti sauce and pizza sauce for the tomato paste and canned tomatos. Cut back on the onions and omitted mushrooms - family preferences. Kept the cheese sauce as is, but added some shredded cheese on top. Precooked pasta and baked the same night; since ingredients were hot, only took 30 min in oven. Didn't think it was too complicated and four out of five liked it!

The late Governor Nelson Rockefeller used to be accused of having an "Edifice Complex." He rebuilt Albany as well as the SUNY system.
He loved to build things at great cost to the taxpayers and he wasn't alone.
President Eisenhower built the federal highway system on which we all depend. The master builder, Robert Moses, did the same thing in New York state and constructed parks and playgrounds and the like. FDR rebuilt the country as a way out of the Great Depression.
Politicians who build get the construction unions as big fans and major contributors. As a political strategy it really can be a help to the political actor. Clearly, the whole question of financing the projects can be vexing but when you really consider it, there is not much of a problem.
Just think about how we buy our homes. Most people don't put down cash on the barrel head. They get a mortgage. You pay so much down and then so much a month, often for the next 30 years. In the case of politicians who hold office, they know that down the road, paying the bill will eventually be someone else's problem. The politician gets the credit but his successors will have to find the money to pay the bankers for the bonds that have been floated.
Take Governor Andrew Cuomo. Two of his major construction initiatives have grabbed the headlines.
First, there is the Tappan Zee Bridge project. While there is always conflict over construction projects, there can be little doubt that the Tappan Zee needed to be replaced. So Cuomo made it happen. He announced the replacement but he really never told us how he was going to pay for it. In at least one case, he asked the federal government to help pay with funds that had been earmarked for environmental remediation. Apparently the feds didn't agree that money should be forthcoming and Andrew was not happy. Since Andrew has built his reputation on a policy of no tax increases, this could prove risky. After all, if the taxpayers have to pay off the bonds, the state will either have to do with less money for other services, or raise taxes, something that Andrew is loath to do.
Of course, there is always the federal route. Andrew has a big admirer in Vice President Joe Biden who recently said at another unveiling that Cuomo was the best governor in the United States. While there are New Yorkers who might argue with the VP's assessment of Cuomo, Biden has immense sway in things federal and may be able to pull the rabbit out of the hat for the Tappan Zee project. So far, Cuomo is staying fairly mum on financing. There are many who believe that one way or another, the Cuomo name will be attached to the new bridge.
The occasion for Biden's laudatory remarks on Cuomo was the announcement that the feds would help come up with the billions of dollars required for the reconstruction of LaGuardia Airport. This is going to be another huge project. The crowded and worn out terminal buildings will be torn down and the replacements will be moved closer to the Grand Central Parkway. This will make for improved taxiways and more efficiency in handling the large amount of air traffic coming into LaGuardia.
Since LaGuardia handles a good deal of the internal traffic in the United States, and since it is a major New York City airport, the project will bring praise to Cuomo. All of us who use the airport will see this as an important move. Of course, JFK and Newark are also difficult airports. Maybe they'll be next.
In any case, these are both projects that Nelson Rockefeller would have been proud of. Cuomo has certainly enhanced his reputation with the Edifice Strategy.

A recycler is a type of dab rig or bong that recycles the water back down into the percolator to create a continuous loop of filtration. The recycler rig has become a really popular choice for dabbers. Aside from all the spinning and cycling action, it also allows you to take a huge dab without suffering any splash. A dab rig recycler is great especially when it comes to the smaller dab rigs. Normally a nice percolator would cause the water to climb up to your lips, but with a recycling chamber it will fall into the funnel while releasing full flavored dabs and keeping your lips dry. It's much easier to describe this action with a video, so be sure to check out the product videos we have added to really see the amazing recycling in action for all of our best selling dab rigs.
We have dab rig recycler in all sizes and colors. Whether you need a mini recycler or a wide matrix recycler for your electric nail, then you are at the right spot. We've got the best selection of recyclers at great prices and best of all, they are in stock and ready to ship.

Q: HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Authority is getting cached by IIS I have a web application (asp.net, C#) running for more than 2 months for internal employees of my company. The application was accessible by live IP address like 121.XXX.XX.200.
In my code-base, I used "HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Authority" to get this particular IP address. This was also working fine till day before yesterday.
However, yesterday the code "HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Authority" started giving me local IP address of the server like "10.X.XXX.20" instead of the live one.
Now I was able to reproduce the error. Whenever I browse the application using the local IP address, IIS seems to be caching the domain name. Now when I browse the same application using live IP address from different computer. It still gives me the local IP.
What can be the solution to this?

A: Try using HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Host instead of HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Authority.
As long as I remember Authority gets the DNS domain name of host which can cause problems sometimes.

Izakayas are essentially Japanese taverns – drinking houses with a menu of small dishes for snacking while drinking. It literally means "stay sake shop" so traditionally this was a place where you could sit and drink on the premises. In today's izakayas you can order food and drink and hang out with friends for an evening. Many also offer bottle keep where your unfinished bottle of scotch or shochu is waiting for your next visit. They are ubiquitous in Japan as locations for end of the day socialization, noshing and enjoying a drink.
These places can be hard to define so here's our own, admittedly arbitrary definition: a relaxing beautiful environment where chef-inspired gratis small plates are served along with sake, Japanese craft beer, wine or inventive cocktails. A place where you can linger with good friends, good food, and good drinks and let the cares of the day melt away.. And that's the most important part.
As you get started with this unique style of "ending the day" at Shinsei, please stay tuned for a follow-up series of blog posts on "How to Izakaya" for more tips and history about this social phenomenon that we hope you will include as a frequent part of your life with us at Shinsei! Kampai!

I wrote about 5 minutes of music for an indoor percussion ensemble. Instruments include xylophone, marimba, vibraphone, bells, chimes, keyboard, timpani, snare, tenor drum, bass drum, and a boatload of auxiliary percussion.
I'm the one in the green lantern shirt talking at the beginning. High-five to my mom for recording it.
Thought some of you might enjoy hearing this personal project I invested my time and energy into this past year... I like local, I like high school stuff.
Fantastic stuff. You know I always enjoy seeing and hearing other peoples' musical projects.
As someone who was in a highschool percussion ensemble for 4 years, that was delightful to watch. Thanks for posting it here.
That was lovely! Nice work!
I didn't recognize all the musical pieces, but it was well done!
Was it all original, what you wrote? Or adapted?
It's completely original. Save for about 4 measures halfway in that borrows from the Zelda II dungeon music.
Nice. Well, it was a pleasure to listen to. Thanks for sharing!


Firesof athvezhvenari! Happy New Year! 2014 was a pretty swell year for Dothraki, as it saw the publication of Living Language Dothraki, the official introductory guide to the language, but onward we ride!
To start the new year off, I thought I'd go back and do a post I've been wanting to do for some time. A while back, Monserrat Vargas asked me for a translation of the famous Star Trek phrase "To boldly go where no man has gone before" into High Valyrian, as she intended to get it tattooed. I provided the translation here, and shortly thereafter, she got it tattooed—and sent me the pictures! Since I had her on the line, though, I decided to turn her new acquisition into an interview.
You see, I, like the majority of Americans, do not have any tattoos. (A poll quoted here says about 23% of Americans have tattoos, as of 2010.) This is not something that's likely to change, as I can't imagine getting a tattoo, and my wife is opposed. Unlike the majority of people who actively do not want to get tattoos, though, I think tattoos are the absolute coolest things in the world. I have opinions about what makes a good tattoo, and how much is too much, for my aesthetic tastes, but in general, I find tattoos fascinating and, well, badass. Nothing's tougher than a tattooed biceps.
Because of this fascination, I'm always curious as to why those with tattoos get them, why they chose the tattoos they chose, etc. In the case of Monserrat Vargas, the choice is doubly interesting—not merely because she decided to get a tattoo in High Valyrian, but because this was her very first tattoo! I'm not certain, but I think that may be a first, for my languages (as far as I know, everyone else who had something tattooed in one my languages already had other tattoos). To learn more about why she made this decision and what went on behind the scenes, I conducted an interview with Monserrat Vargas over e-mail, which is copied below (with pictures!). Enjoy!
A: Yes, this was my very first tattoo. I've always known that I wanted tattoos. They do tend to get a bad rap because they're so permanent and that's an intimidating thought. But to me, they've always represented the wearer at their deepest—most honest—level. I wanted my tattoos to be a visual representation of who I am. However, I also wanted it to be subtle. Truly an art piece. Everyone chooses how best to express themselves—I chose tattoos! The decision to FINALLY get my first tattoo was made because I was about to embark on a new stage of my life. I was leaving my hometown of Los Angeles, California to move to Seattle, Washington. It felt right to get my first tattoo as a tribute to my hometown. It would be the ultimate reminder of family and friends!
Q: What's your connection to Star Trek—and what's your favorite instantiation of the series?
A: I've been a huge fan of Star Trek from a very young age. It inspired my love for the stars and most especially for the science-fiction genre. Of course I love TOS (Star Trek: The Original Series). That was how I discovered Star Trek and that's a bond that can't be matched. But, as sacrilegious as it may be to say, I especially loved Enterprise because I was old enough to catch the real time broadcasts as opposed to discovering it via re-runs. It was always such a thrill to be a part of their next, great, space adventure!
Q: You kind of answered this already, but why this quote in particular? And then why around your ankle?
A: "To boldly go where no man has gone before." The quote that encompasses and defines Star Trek. This was a quote that followed me as I grew up. It became more than a symbol for the show—it became a value I chose to live by. It encouraged me to not do things just because they've always been expected and done. To genuinely consider new, and even scary, possibilities. It's what gave me the courage to pack up and leave the home I've always known. The choice in placement… I'll be answering that part of your question in question 7.
Q: Who did the lettering? It's gorgeous! Did you do it?
A: The lettering is intended to be Elvish from Lord of the Rings. I say "intended" because there are some slight modifications that needed to be made. When you get a tattoo you can't just tell the artist, "I want this!" Certain alterations need to be made. What looks good on paper won't necessarily translate well to skin. I researched heavily before I got my tattoo and I finished my journey at Ink Monkey Tattoo in Los Angeles (on the corner of Venice and Lincoln). I came across artist Juan Ramón Solano (goes by Ramón). He's a magician when it comes to line work and lettering. When I saw his portfolio I knew I was in good hands.
Q: I've always been curious. A tattoo artist, in effect, has to be able to do every type of art—and well—in order to reproduce others' drawings. And furthermore, they have to do it without making a mistake. So, like…how? How nervous are you of the tattoo artist making a mistake? Can you get your money back if they do make a mistake?
A: You're putting a permanent piece of art on your body, of course you're going to be scared that something's going to go wrong! But you do your best to mitigate that fear beforehand. You REASEARCH, RESEARCH, RESEARCH. I can't stress that enough! Do NOT go into some random beach tattoo parlour, do NOT make this choice when you're inebriated. Do NOT make this choice unless you are ABSOLUTELY sure it's what you want. If you interview with an artist and you're not comfortable, don't do it. There was an artist I interviewed with whose portfolio was promising and seemed capable—but their station was a mess! That immediately drew me away. There were establishments I didn't even consider for more than a minute because the entire place was a mess. If you sense a tiny bit of unease, red flag that place and walk away.
When I walked into Ink Monkey it was immediately welcoming. The atmosphere was clean, professional, and fun. Ramón sat me down and we talked at great length about what I wanted and what options I had. We worked together on reworking the idea in my head into something that would complement me. He knew I was nervous so he thoroughly explained every part of the process and repeated himself as he began every step. He attended to my needs and helped keep me calm and happy. We build a bond of trust between artist and canvas.
He actually did make a slight mistake! Sometimes no matter what you do—mistakes happen. But Ramón handled it like a pro! In the word nēdenkirī what he thought was an n was actually the rī. Ramón immediately realized his mistake—confirmed with me that it was a mistake—and set it right. He mixed an ink color that perfectly matched my skin tone and broke the line between the two letters. When he was done, you couldn't even tell that there had ever been a mistake! When mistakes do happen, any reputable tattoo artist has methods in place to correct it and make sure you walk away absolutely thrilled with your decision. There are even tattoo artists whose portfolio consists of fixing the shoddy work of other (less talented) tattoo artists!
Q: And, of course, the top question on the mind of anyone who's never gotten a tattoo: On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being most), how much did it hurt?
A: In regards to pain, that depends on the location of your tattoo. If you get it in a location with more fatty tissue or muscle to cushion you, it will hurt less. But if you get it somewhere where there's very little to cushion the bone, then be prepared for it to sting! Since I got my tattoo on my ankle, I was in quite a bit of pain! The WORST bit was closer to the heel. I was handling it like a champ until he got to that part. Ultimately, it's a needle piercing just underneath your skin. If you can't handle a shot—then I'd rethink a tattoo. In answer to your question I started out with a 6/10 but it definitely ended with an 8/10!
Q: Any ideas for another tattoo if you're getting one?
A: As far as other tattoos I plan to get… Now that's where this gets pretty dorky. I got the tattoo around my ankle because this tattoo will be part 1 of a 3 part tattoo. This part is a matrimony of 3 television/book series that I deeply enjoy (Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, Star Trek), all represented in a way meant to represent my love of language.
Part 2 (which I've already gotten as of July) is a representation of my love of music. It is located on my other ankle and it's a musical arrangement containing pieces from Harry Potter, Star Wars, and Doctor Who.
The final part—which is still in the planning stages—will represent my love of symbolism in art and it will be an homage to some of my favorite video games (Gears of War, Bioshock, and World of Warcraft) that will be located between my shoulder blades. Thus turning myself into a visual representation of a Triforce. The ULTIMATE homage!
Thank you for taking the time and sharing your photos, Monserrat Vargas! Your tattoos are awesome! You're a lajak tawak in my book.
Coming soon: The Dothraki Haiku Competition. Maybe now that Living Language Dothraki has come out, we'll see even more challengers trying to knock Qvaak off the throne!
It's been a heck of a month for Living Language Dothraki. It made the Los Angeles Times' best sellers' list, so that's cool! I've been all over the country talking about Dothraki, and I got really sick at the tail end of the journey.
Winter Goat is getting ready to make a return! If you'd like to submit a photo to be considered for Winter Goat 2014, please send them to me at "dave" at "conlang" dot "org". If I get some photos, I'll put them up and we'll have a vote, as is the Yuletide tradition here.
It was a lot of fun wandering the country talking about Dothraki. It's been a while since I've been so focused on Dothraki specifically, as opposed to some of the other languages I've been working with, and I've discovered that it's still the language I'm most fluent in (despite the fact that I'm nowhere near fluent). I signed a number of books with messages in Dothraki, and I've realized, to my horror, that a number of those feature errors (e.g. I didn't use the right case with the relevant preposition; I spelled a word wrong, etc.). If you find a signed copy without any grammar errors, it'll be quite valuable.
I did a number of signings at libraries and bookstores. Among my favorite was the signing that was held at Mission Viejo city hall. They had a gavel. It was awesome. But this is my favorite picture from the event. It's probably too blurry to do it justice, but this was just before Halloween, and this girl came in an outstanding Arya costume. The craftsmanship was unbelievable. A photo simply can't do it justice. Athdavrazar, zhey Ari!
Last week I went to Colorado and then the Bay Area. In Colorado it snowed. A lot. It was literally below freezing. How people live in that nonsense is beyond me. Prof. Steven Hayward did get a nice shot of me at Garden of the Gods, though.
But hey! If the Dothraki lived in prehistorical times, they would totally ride raptors, right? Wouldn't that be awesome?!
It was an employees-only event, but they did put up a video on YouTube, which you can watch here (after all, they are YouTube).
I was also really grateful to be able to see some of the original Dothraki lajaki: Crown of Gold, Daenerys and Hrakkar. I was out-of-my-mind sick, but that really made the whole trip. Thanks for coming out to dinner, and I hope I didn't get you sick!
Living Language Dothraki is officially on sale today! You can buy it at any bookstore, or go to the official site to buy it here. I got mine in the mail last week.
The feeling is pretty overwhelming. A lot of folks worked very hard on this, and a lot of stuff happened behind the scenes to make this day a reality. We all have HBO to thank for this. They've allowed a community to grow around this language, and they gave the green light to this book. Now you can take a look at it yourselves, and I hope you enjoy it!
If you're going to be near any of these places, please come say hi. Otherwise, thanks for following the blog the past few years, and for helping to make this day a reality!
