purple passage (PUR-puhl PAS-ij) noun, also purple patch, purple prose 1. A brilliant passage in an otherwise dull and uninspiring work. 2. A piece of writing marked by ornate, florid style. [From Latin pannus purpureus (purple patch), a phrase used by poet Horace in his Ars Poetica (The Art of Poetry) to suggest a patch of royal fabric on an ordinary cloth.] "Page after page is filled with drunken quarrels with his wife; with lies, infidelities, religious doubts, homosexual yearnings and, above all, with his daily, desperate search for a bottle. Interspersed among these dreary horrors are purple passages about his love for his children, his dog and his fine house." A Gin at Mid-Morning -- John Cheever: The Journals by John Cheever,

IN: I would like to move forward with what we are calling Phase III for EOL. Most of the work is done but in this environment, I don't want to prepare to roll it out in January without your views. However, if we are to roll it out in mid-January, we need to agree soon. Richter has sent you the outline/presentation on e-mail and he and Savita and Jay can describe it all in greater detail if you like. Savita discussed the presentation and the plan with John Arnold and he is supportive of the rollout and the new look and functionality. Basically it will include a new home page and a new garden page, but the key parts are the expanded quotes screen and the order manager which are a much better use of real estate than the static Reuters content down the side (which will be put in a MyContent button). This isn't expensive, most of the work is done anyway, but it is a new look and the quotes screen will now be expanded. I think it would be positive to do. It looks better, the Reuters content can be found in a MyContent button and we can use the entire quotes screen to enhance order flow and improve the counterparty experience. It also shows business as usual with EnronOnline. Your thoughts? Greg Piper President & CEO Enron Net Works LLC

I have a favor to ask. Would you mind asking your team to email or phone me when they make a location change on a deal in sitara. We had a case yesterday where a deal was originally entered at one location for the deal and for the hedge. The point was incorrect and a person in logistics corrected it. The problem occurs in that sitara looks to verify the locations are the same on the deal and the hedge and if they are, it will then value the deal in the trader's book at mid. If the locations are different, it will value the deal at the customer price. This could potentially have a large impact on the trader's P&L. It does not seem pertinent to have your guys changing swap locations in addition to changing deal locations due to time constraints. We will be more than happy to make the changes, and we should also be able to catch these problems in the first place when we calc our books. I would greatly appreciate your groups help in cutting some of these issues off at the pass. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to give me a shout. Thanks. PL
