This is a classic case of somebody with some smarts and gumption taking a big risk and pulling it off. My hat's off to 'em. I admire folk with the insight to spot a previously unrecognized market niche. Somebody sure did come up with a clever name and marketing strategy. What they pulled off is no small feat— they managed to get their product into the mass merchandising distribution channel. Can you imagine how difficult it must have been to first break in to these stores:
•Albertsons
•BJ’s Wholesale Club
•Brookshire Brothers
•Brookshire Grocery
•Costco Wholesale Corporation
•Costco Wholesale Canada Ltd.

Trysail's idea of feelthy porn!

I'm glad you got off, trybaby. I know how rare that is for you.:kiss:
 
And this applies to writing or reading how? Another cut and paste from the King of Cut and Paste.

This is a writing forum not an accounting/political forum. Thank you very much.
 

This one's for you, TxRad. People are well aware that current spot prices for natural gas may not justify costs. As has happened many times before in the industry, other considerations affect drilling decisions— not the least of which is "drill to hold."

( I didn't write this; I know who did— that person would not want to be named here. )
... natural gas prices closed almost unchanged at $4.40/mcf and even that required a late December rally. Production from unconventional shale plays remains remarkably high despite marginal operating costs above wellhead realizations. How can that be? There are numerous reasons why including; incentives to drill prospects, even at a loss, in order to hold leases before they expire; use of futures markets to hedge production at higher prices; influx of integrated oil (IOC) money (seeking participation in domestic gas shales) where they are required to drill otherwise expiring leases; and access to remaining funding from equity issues in 2008. In all likelihood, production will continue to exceed demand, at least through this summer, before basic economics sets in. At that point, “drill to hold” incentives will decline, a lower shale gas rig count will reduce supply, and demand will recover faster than anticipated from both industrial and utility markets... wellhead prices, currently at $4.65 for the next twelve month “strip” will average $5.50/mcf in the 2012-2014 time frame. This will be sufficient to encourage drilling enough shale wells to meet rising demand but, due to average marginal operating costs near $5.00, not enough added drilling to keep prices below costs for a prolonged period...

Some of us write for a living and some of us rely on information necessary for proper analysis and communication. Nobody forces you to read anything around here— you're here of your own volition.

sorry trySail but your cut and paste is wrong. 6.00 per mcf is closer to the break even point on horizontal shale gas wells. Don't believe everything you read from the so called experts.

So...,
whaddya think?


With Henry Hub NYMEX gas @ $3.89/mcf and Cushing NYMEX WTI @ $99.84/BO ( a ratio > 26× )...,
does gas rise or does petroleum fall?



_____________________
( for those unfamiliar with the connection, ( as a rough rule of thumb ) a barrel of petroleum is the BTU equivalent of 6 mcf of natural gas ). What we're witnessing ( for the moment ) is a price aberration that is several standard deviations from the mean.

George Ballas, Inventor of the Weed Whacker, Dies at 85
By DENNIS HEVESI
Published: July 1, 2011



George Ballas loved tending to his lawn with meticulous care, but the 200 or more trees crowding a two-acre expanse behind his house in Houston posed a problem: how to get around the bulging roots and manicure close enough to achieve the near perfection he desired.

Then one day in 1971 he took his car to a car wash and was watching those whirling soapy brushes sweeping the grime away. Aha! Could something like that trim the grass and slash the weeds around the trees, between the rocks and under the fences?

Back home, Mr. Ballas poked holes in a tin can, strung strands of fishing line through the holes, attached the contraption to a rotary lawn edger, and the Weed Eater was born — or what is more generally known as the weed whacker, a device that has reshaped the landscaping industry and delighted amateur gardeners.

Mr. Ballas died on June 25 in Houston at the age of 85, his son Corky said.

Mr. Ballas’s invention has become “one of the crucial tools to our industry, especially for landscaping,” Mark Fisher, director of horticulture at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, said on Thursday. “Of your landscape and turf crews, everybody has one.”

For those professionals and for everyday gardeners, Mr. Fisher said, “It’s like putting the icing on the cake because it’s really the last thing you do for that final trimming, so everything looks crisp and clean.”

Horticulture was not Mr. Ballas’s primary passion. He was the owner of a dance studio in Houston with 43,000 square feet of space and more than 100 instructors. But after he perfected his invention, he started the Weed Eater Corporation, promoted it on television nationwide and built a business that was eventually bought by Emerson Electric...
