A recent study finds that using gasoline with 15 percent ethanol (E15) could harm millions of vehicle engines despite the blended fuel's having received the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) blessing, officials with oil and gas and automotive trade groups said last week.
"EPA's decisions in 2010 and 2011 approving E15 ethanol-gasoline blends for most American vehicles were premature and irresponsible," said Jack Gerard, president and CEO of the American Petroleum Institute (API), during a May 16 conference call with the press.
The EPA decisions allow E15 in motor gasoline for 2001 and newer model passenger cars and light trucks. Refiners, automakers, fuel retailers and others have expressed concerns about the use of E15. They argue that the higher percentage of moisture-attracting alcohol in the fuel could lead to corrosion of automobile engines as well as fuel dispensing and storage equipment.
"EPA approved E15 knowing ongoing vehicle testing had not been completed," said Gerard. "Worse … it approved the fuel even though government labs had raised red flags about the compatibility of E15 with much of the dispensing and storage infrastructure at our nation's gas stations."
During the call Wednesday, Gerard and top officials with Global Automakers and the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers released the final report for an important part of the Coordinating Research Council's (CRC) extensive testing of higher blends of ethanol in existing vehicles. CRC is a not-for-profit organization supported by the petroleum and automotive equipment industries.
Corrosion Could Affect 'At Least 5 Million' Vehicles
"Today, the results of just completed engine testing of E15 by the Coordinating Research Council confirm that EPA did not perform due diligence and moved too quickly in its E15 vetting process," Gerard said. "The tests provide strong evidence E15 could damage the engines of many cars and light trucks."
The officials estimated that "at least 5 million" vehicles currently in service in the United States could be at risk of corrosion from E15. They also pointed out that the blended fuel threatens the physical integrity of infrastructure at roughly 157,000 retail establishments. CRC's Engine Durability study tested duplicates of eight different vehicle model engines in a total of 16 vehicles spanning the 2001-2009 model years. None of the vehicles was a flexible-fuel vehicle (FFV).
According to CRC, the vehicles were tested over a 500-hour durability cycle that corresponds to approximately 100,000 miles of vehicle usage. Researchers monitored the following engine operating parameters during testing: cylinder compression, valve wear, valve leakage, emissions and emissions control system diagnostics. Michigan-based FEV, Inc., which CRC described as "a longtime consultant" to EPA, performed the study on CRC's behalf.
CRC stated that two of the engine types tested on E15 experienced mechanical damage. In addition, the investigators found that another engine showed increased tailpipe emissions beyond the allowable limit.
"Clearly many vehicles on the road today are at risk of harm from E15," said Mitch Bainwol, President and CEO of Auto Alliance. "The unknowns concern us greatly, since only a fraction of vehicles have been tested to determine their tolerance to E15."
Bainwol added the vehicles at risk simply were not built to handle E15. As a result, his group and others tried unsuccessfully to persuade EPA to postpone its E15 decisions in 2010 and 2011 until further data became available. He pointed out the EPA based its decision largely on a U.S. Department of Energy Study of E15's effects on catalytic converter systems but not on the broader engine durability criteria that the CRC testing considers.
According to CRC, the cost of E15-induced engine damage could be significant for motorists. It predicts the most likely repair would be cylinder head replacement, which it estimates would cost $2,000-$4,000 for single cylinder head engines and twice as much for V-type engines.
Wait for the 'Real Science'
"Our goal is to ensure that new alternative fuels are not placed into retail until it has been proven they are safe and do not cause harm to vehicles, consumers, or the environment," said Mike Stanton, president and CEO, Global Automakers. "The EPA should have waited until all the studies on the potential impacts of E15 on the current fleet were completed."
In response to the study, the head of the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) said that EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson should rethink her October 2010 and January 2011 decisions to grant partial waivers allowing the use of E15. The former waiver applies to 2007 light-duty motor vehicle models and newer while the latter applies to model years 2001 through 2006.
"EPA has a responsibility to protect the American people from inadequately tested fuel blends," said AFPM President Charles T. Drevna.
"Consumers have the right to expect federal officials to devote adequate time and funds to follow real science -- not political science -- and to put the interests of the American people first," Drevna continued.
"No one should be asked to pump first and ask questions later and become a participant in a giant science experiment to line the coffers of large agribusinesses while overlooking the real-world implications of E15."
Clearing the Air or Muddying the Waters About E15?
In defense of E15, the Renewable Fuels Association (RFA) called the CRC test results "fundamentally flawed".
"Accepting the status quo in a fuel market monopolized by petroleum as the best this nation can do is unacceptable," according to RFA President and CEO Bob Dinneen. "After 6 million miles and years of testing, the Department of Energy found no problems with the use of E15 in vehicles made since model year 2001."
RFA also pointed out that some of the vehicles in the CRC study failed on gasoline without ethanol (E0) but that no gasoline with 10 percent ethanol (E10) was tested. In addition, RFA contends some of the vehicles tested were under recall by the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
"By funding research using questionable testing protocols and illegal fuels, the results of this study are meaningless and only serve to further muddy the waters and shun the overwhelming desire of 75 percent of Americans for greater choice at the pump," said Dinneen.
The CRC study's findings did not impress RFA, but they did prompt Republican Congressman Jim Sensenbrenner of Wisconsin to take action. Sensenbrenner had previously introduced legislation that would require the EPA to contract with the National Academies to subject E15 to further study. In a letter posted Thursday, Sensenbrenner urged Jackson to throw her support behind his bill.

New Opera House in Krakow
The grand opening
Six trapdoors, a few stage wings, a computer-controlled acoustic ceiling, and a moveable orchestra pit… Krakow now has a great new opera house and theatre complex than ranks with the best in Europe.
After many years of strenuous efforts, Krakow can at last start the final countdown. The long-awaited opening of the Krakow Opera, scheduled for the 13th of December, promises to be a cause for great celebration. Krakow composer Krzysztof Penderecki's "The Devils of Loudon", directed by Laco Adamik, will be inaugurating the new stage at 48 Lubicz Street. This is one opera guaranteed to test the capabilities of modern opera to the utmost. The modernistic building, already a fixture on the cityscape of Krakow, was designed by Krakow architect Romuald Loegler and his associates Piotr Urbanowicz and Grzegorz Dresler. Construction began in 2004. The claret-coloured walls of the opera house, the largest structure of the complex, with the Great Stage inside, are imposing to say the least. The grey building with its semicircular roof is uncannily reminiscent of the old Krakow Operetta, thereby keeping alive the memories of local opera lovers. This historical building, which served as a horse riding school at the beginning of the twentieth century, has been incorporated into the modern Opera House in an especially creative way. The building contains the main entrance to the opera and ticket offices, and its upper floor holds the "Na Antresoli" Stage as well as a foyer used as an Exhibition and Lecture Hall. Connoisseurs of fine food will be delighted to learn that there will also be a restaurant on the floor. Besides the 700-seat Great Stage, which covers an area of 300m2, the new building boasts a 200-seat stage known as "Na Antresoli" and a "Chamber Stage", The ultramodern backstage equipment makes it possible to put on the most innovative performances.
Words, emotions, feelings, being moved, pride? … How can one express what we feel opening the new building of the Opera in Kraków? Long time our team has wandered around Kraków, looking for its place on earth, at the same time convincing people that opera, both as a genre and as an institution, deserves "something more". We have forged rare evidence of appreciation of subsequent rulers of Kraków culture with our own talent and determination. Our meetings with the audience prove that somebody needs us, that our art proposals are not unimportant to those who just as we, here in Kraków, find their piece of sky. We have experienced similar reactions from visitors who have come to the city of the Wawel castle in search for impressions and, apart from visits in museums, pubs, the Market Square or the Kazimierz district, have found rare evidence of our existence. Existence of the favorite opera theatre. For many years we have had to explain to ourselves and others why we do not have a roof over our heads? In Kraków? At the turn of centuries? In a centuries-old, proud city of the kings and Noble prize winners. In the shade of the world renowned pearls of the Gothic, the Baroque and the Renaissance? These questions and the emotions they embody have accompanied us a number of times.
Eventually, December 2008 has come. Preceded by autumn 2002, when, in the Administration of the Małopolska Province, headed by Marek Nawara, we met not only listeners, but also interlocutors, and, ultimately, decision-makers. Almost six years have elapsed. For some - as many as six. For others - only six. We can finally invite you to our home. First of all those who for these years have helped us survive – our audience, faithful partners of our past wandering and our success. Making allowances for our stumbles.
Around the same church towers, but different streetcars, cars, beautifully improved Mogilskie Roundabout and NEW OPERA HOUSE – OUR KRAKOW OPERA HOUSE. Thank you. We are.

29 Apr, 10Some helicopters of the future will look very different from today's, at least as imagined by high school students for a NASA aeronautics competition.
NASA challenged students to write a paper about a civilian aircraft that could hover, rescue up to 50 survivors of a disaster, land on ground or water, travel at least 920 miles and cruise at speeds up to 345 mph. If that wasn't enough of a challenge, the amphibious tilt-rotor vehicle had to be able to fight fires by siphoning water into an internal tank, and dump it while airborne.
The winners were announced Tuesday. For a complete list and links to their rotorcraft designs, visit:
The competition was sponsored by the Subsonic Rotary Wing Project in the Fundamental Aeronautics Program of NASA's Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate in Washington. More than 100 teens entered the contest in teams or as individuals. They represented the United States, China, India, Pakistan, Romania, Singapore and Turkey.
Susan Gorton, principal investigator for the Subsonic Rotary Wing Project, led the review panel. She said reading the high school papers showed her how students perceive the future of aviation and NASA's leadership role.
"They think anything can be done, and that's refreshing," she said.
The most striking design looks like a flying wing with rotor assemblies on top of the nose and between two tail fins. This top-scoring team entry came from two high school seniors at Norfolk Technical Center in Norfolk, Va. Seniors Edric San Miguel and Vito Morlino offered a design called the "Versatile Emergency Landing Aircraft." This is the third year in a row that San Miguel has placed in a NASA aeronautics student contest and the second time he has won first prize.
The second and third place U.S. teams were from Linwood Holton Governor's School in Abingdon, Va. The second place individual award went to a junior at Bishop Hendricken High School in North Kingstown, R.I. Sharing third place for individual entries were a sophomore from Young Academy in Sidney, Neb., and a sophomore from Virginia's Linwood Holton Governor's School.
A trio of juniors from Chung International Secondary School in Hong Kong took top international honors. Two groups of students from Tudor Vianu National High School of Computer Science in Bucharest, Romania, earned the second and third place awards for international teams. A senior from Anderson Junior College in Singapore, earned the top score for individuals in the international category with a design titled "Salvager-7 Pelican." And a freshman from Hilton Head Island High School in Hilton Head, S.C., submitted the top scoring U.S. individual entry titled "An Angel in the Sky."
NASA hopes to interest students in pursuing careers in aeronautics and engineering by sponsoring design contests. U.S. winners receive cash awards from Christopher Newport University, in Newport News, Va., through a NASA education grant and cooperative agreement. International winners receive a trophy and certificate of achievement. All student participants receive a certificate of participation and a letter from NASA commending them for their work and encouraging them to continue their study of math, science and engineering.

KS4 Course Guidance 2012 for Parents and Carers is now available in the Curriculum section of the website. This includes the presentation and guides from the KS4 Courses Evening for current Year 9 Parents and Carers.
On Friday 27th January, 10 fortunate Year 10 students were given the opportunity to visit the University of Cambridge.
The aim of the trip was to give the students an understanding of university and student life. At Emmanuel College students took part in many talks and activities to give them a wide understanding of what university life would be like for them. This included lectures on Medical Ethics and Astronomy and there was also an individual and school challenge which had lots of general knowledge questions as well as questions about student life.
Notley came 3rd out of the 8 schools in this challenge and the students were very proud of their result! It was a very good day – thank you to Mrs Robb for organising the visit, and to Mr Newman and Mrs Wallace for accompanying us on the trip which was thoroughly enjoyable for all.

Welcome Back and Happy New Year, New Staff, Changes in the Canteen at Lunchtime, Cashless Catering, We Will Rock You Auditions, Design and Technology Careers Event, Dates for Your Diary, 'He's Behind You!'
If you are family, friends or neighbours of Year 9 history students at Notley High School & Braintree Sixth Form they may soon be seeking your help. The year group have been asked to research stories about the experiences of their family, or local people they know, during World War Two. These personal or local experiences will then be used in the classroom as an interesting way to begin to study the national or international events which they reflect. Memories of rationing for example could lead into an investigation of the Battle of the Atlantic. Stories of families from other countries would help focus on the wider nature of the conflict and perhaps give some very interesting perspectives to work from. Clearly the stories do not have to be dramatic, though it would obviously be interesting to hear those. Copies of photographs would also be of interest or copies of other relevant documents.
Stories can be of any length and in any format and would also be welcomed from members of the wider community who have something to tell. First-hand accounts would be of particular interest, but they could also be information passed down the generations. Contributions can be sent to Mrs Hill, History Subject Leader, at the school's Notley Road address or emailed to email@example.com
Staff and Governors are also going to be canvassed for help and it is hoped that a valuable learning resource can be developed. In addition it may be that some personal history is preserved and passed on which might otherwise be lost or known only to a few.

Continuing with an Arty theme, Napier's wide city centre shopping streets do include limited car access, so bollards have been placed in strategic places to keep assess to where it should be and to avoid run-in's with pedestrians. On top of these tall, dark green bollards, little Art Deco style motifs have also been placed… again, like the Deco seating decorations of yesterday's post these have been designed and submitted by the local community.
Some of them look alike at first glance, but don't be fooled, they are all unique.
I love the idea that little splashes of colour can be added to an urban landscape to make life more beautiful, uplifting and interesting… and the fact that these fit in so beautifully with Napier's Art Deco style… bonus!

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this thread. Please correct/add/improve as needed. I recommend reading the hole thread for other good posts too.
Mixing in General
The main effects used in a mix are EQ, Compression and Reverb. There are no rules to production so do not feel that all three should be used on every part in your track. While frequency analyzers, gain reduction meters and decay time readings can be helpful, remember to use your ears. If something sounds better without an effect, then simply don't use it.
Before any of these effects even get thought about, make sure your source sounds (e.g. Your synth sounds, drum samples, recordings, etc.) are sounding as close as possible to what you had in mind. Think of effects like a polish (assuming they are being used for mix purposes) and remember you can't polish a turd, so get your source sounding good.There's absolutely nothing to gain from boosting a snare, say, at 250 hz if there is no frequency content there. Find great samples. It makes producing beats a hole lot easier. From then on usually less is more with mixing.
Gain Structure
For a good mix it is important to get your gain structure right. Take care with getting your levels right. Some good advise is to get the levels approximately right before they even reach the main mixer. This way the mixer can be used to make smaller more minor adjustments to the volumes. Gain structures depends quite a lot on genre so get your spectrum analyzer out and compare with professional tracks that you want yours to sound like mix-wise. Look at how loud the lows, mids, and high frequencies are compared to your track. Bare in mind that these tracks will probably have been professionally mastered so they will be sounding a lot louder and more powerful. Do not start turning your levels up to try and match the volume. Turn that song down, don't boost yours. Always keep your headroom in mind.
Like everything in production this is not set in stone but here are some good starting points:
-Your final mix peaking at -5db to -3db. This gives you a good bit of headroom for mastering.
-Beat peaking at -10db to -8db.
-Sub at around 2db below your beat. People new to producing often make the mistake of thinking the bassier the better. Your beat should usually be peaking louder than your sub.
Another mistake that is often made is having hi-hats too loud. Remember they can be heard at very low levels.
EQ (Equalization)
EQ almost everything! Cut off any unwanted and un-needed frequencies for headroom and try not to have many overlapping frequencies. Without this it's virtually impossible to get a good mix. A good technique, using a parametric EQ, is to boost the gain by small band width and sweep across your frequency spectrum. This can help you to hear the frequencies that you want, don't want, want to cut out of other instruments, or just need a slight boost/cut to focus the sound.
Try to use subtractive EQ rather than artificially boosting frequencies. As a general rule you shouldn't boost by more than 6db unless your aiming for a messy, un-natural sound.The word 'messy' should not be confused with the word 'filthy' - commonly used to describe heavy, jump-up Dubstep. Widening the Q value can help to make things sound more natural.
Filters can be a useful tool. Even if you can't hear certain frequencies they may still be there taking up valuable headroom so high passing/low cutting and low passing/high cutting parts can help to really get your mix sounding as good as it possibly can.
Really pay attention to detail here.
The idea of reverb is to give each part it's own space in the mix. It is important not to over-do reverb as your mix will sound washed out and sounds will become hidden under the mountain of reverb you've created. Your main sounds that you want to stand out will generally have less reverb on. Background noises and lower level sounds will usually have more reverb to push them back in the mix. You should always high-pass your reverb to keep those low frequencies from getting muddy.
Don't be afraid to set the dry/wet value to fully wet. This can sound particularly good on Pads or sounds adding ambiance. Try taking a sample, maybe adding some delay, then add a reverb with infinite decay time and a fully wet setting. Automate things such as volume, filter cut-off, panning, etc. for cool sounding results. Experiment with reverb as a way of creating atmospheres it can can really add that flare your searching for in a track.
Your lower frequency parts such as sub-bass and the kick drum normally have no reverb on. Using Reverb as a send effect or on a bus channel can be useful. If you want things to sit together, send them to the same reverb. Reverb emulates the reflections from a recording space, so if you send channels to the same reverb, it'll sound like they're coming from the same place. I normally use the same reverb on my hats and snare.
If you're just looking to sit things in the mix as opposed to making them sound drenched in reverb, turn up the aux send (or dry/wet value if used as an insert) until you can hear the effect, then walk it back a few notches.
Genres that use lots of reverb include Reggae and Ambient. Fast genres like Drum n Bass tend to use less reverb because there is less space for it. More chilled out tracks tend to have more reverb on parts, to create a smooth feel with a certain distance to it. This makes it easy and soothing (or chilling) to listen to. The heavy club banger tunes use less reverb to give it that in-your-face feel with everything hitting hard and sounding crisp.
Always be careful with reverb but do not limit yourself. Experiment with it but do it with care and your sure to find the best results.

Compression is thought of as a very advanced effect process and can be very difficult to apply effectively. Do not worry if you don't 'get' it at first. Lots of experience and practice will definitely improve your understanding of this effect and your ability to use it successfully.
A simple way to think about compression is that it squashes your sound. Anything above the threshold value will be squashed/brought down in volume by an amount determined by the ratio value. A compressor with a ratio value of infinite:1 will act as a limiter, whereas a ratio value of 1:1 will add no compression, therefore doing nothing.
Compression is applied to different things for different reasons, here are some of the most common:
-To smooth out volume levels: if an instrument has very extreme dynamics - very loud peaks and very quiet parts, compression can be used to level those out. It reduces dynamic content so be wary of using it too much in this way unless you want a very flat track with little changes in volume levels.
-On percussive hits: A lot of producers use compression on their drum hits to shape them and to make them punchier. A good way of doing this effectively is, firstly move the threshold down very low and the ratio to infinite:1. Now you can here exactly what the compressor is doing. Adjust your attack and release knobs to your taste. Once you have this how you like it, increase the threshold and ease of on the ratio and your done.
-To increase perceived volume: As mentioned above you squash the sound. This will reduce it's overall volume so you will need to add some make-up gain to bring it back up and it should now sound louder.
Side-chain compression is another thing I should mention. In my opinion it should only be used as a last resort and with good EQing it isn't needed but that's just my opinion. Side-chain compression is basically when one thing is set to trigger a compression on another instrument. This is quite often used on bass where the compression is set to come in when the kick drum hits to stop clashing frequencies. When using this technique to clean up a mix you should go by the idea that, if you can hear it working it's not done properly. Side-chained compression is also used for creative purposes. You should have all heard this in dance music with the offbeat sounding bass.

Laura, I met you a few years ago when you hosted the Student Career Days in Dallas. You were a breath of fresh air. I really enjoyed your upbeat attitude and contagious energy. Thank you for your newsletter and congratulations on your upcoming marriage. I wish you all the happiness in the world. - Colleen Orsak

Welcome to your fabulous new job! Here's the 36 square feet to call your own in what we fondly call "The Cube Farm". Feel free to make it yours. Well, not really. There are certain basic rules of etiquette to follow. For those of you who are new to Cubeland, here are my top five no-no's. I know of what I speak because I've been on the receiving end of all of these issues. Hopefully I've never been on the giving end, but, honestly, I probably have been at least once. For you who have been Cube Dwellers for some time, here are some reminders in case you've gotten a little too comfortable in your micro-kingdom.
Speaker Fone-Pas
There once was a girl from Nantucket,Who insisted on holding speakerphone conference calls from her CUBICLE!She disturbed all those around. How could she not be aware of the sound?It made everyone in Cubeville want to strangle her.
Don't be that girl. Or boy. Or transgender illusionist. It's just not nice. If you need to hold a conference call, schedule time in a conference room. Or if it's just you on your end of the call and multiple people on the other end, do you really need to be on speakerphone too? Oh, no, my squeaky little monkeys, you do not. There's no reason to disturb everyone in a 9-cube radius while you show off how important you think you are by shouting into an inanimate object. I've been a witness to this and – believe me – it's not pretty and only causes strife in the fiefdom.
You wouldn't believe what kind of horrible thoughts coworkers can wish on these phone-shouters. I mean, I can only imagine what kind of horrible thoughts coworkers might wish on these phone-shouters. I wouldn't actually know of any potentially devastating illnesses or freak accidents that people might dream up when thoroughly annoyed that their concentration is broken by someone else's "status check" with a project manager in Schenectady!
Bad Smells Travel Fast
Fish. Do me a favor - just don't eat it at the office. If you're a vegetarian, I must ask you to please seek other sources of protein on those days that you brown bag it. You see, it's like this – that fabulous Chilean Sea Bass you had for dinner last night would be lovely reheated for lunch today. Unfortunately you don't have the luxury of a private kitchen complete with vent-a-hoods to help you bring that baby back to life. Instead you've got the communal microwave and that long walk back through the office to your cube with your aromatic dejeuner.
Do us all a favor, don't spread the Chilean Sea Bass love (or Tuna or Mahi-Mahi or Salmon, eww especially not Salmon – trust me). And if you don't think reheated fish can really smell that bad – just imagine burned microwave popcorn times 10. And add a stinky factor of at least 5.
Privacy Shmivacy
Unfortunately, your little 6 x 6 or 8 x 8 or tiny x tiny bit of real estate does not feature a cone of silence over the top of it. Which means (depending on the noise level of your office and whether or not noise-masking equipment is installed on your floor) that everyone around you knows all of your business (whether they want to or not) when you make personal calls from your cube.
For your own sake, don't schedule personal appointments from your cubicle when you can be overheard by your coworkers. Which is pretty much all the time. Everyone has a cell phone these days (and if you don't, believe it or not, there are still payphones somewhere that you can find), so step outside for a "smoke break" or wait until you head out for lunch to call your therapist / OB-GYN / pharmacist to schedule your next intervention / penicillin shot / tranquilizer refill. I really don't want to know that much about you.
Killing Me Softly With Your Song
Ah, yes, nothing gets my creative juices flowing like listening to some Adam & The Ants New Wave tunes from the 80s. Which ones, you ask? Oh, here, I'll turn up "Dog Eat Dog" so you can hear the lyrics clearly instead of just that constant low annoying whine I've been subjecting you to all morning. What's that you say? You need silence to focus on your project that's just as important as mine? Nonsense! You just think you do! Everyone works better with tunes.
I'm sorry, what's that? You're going to do what to my iPod as soon as I step away for lunch leaving it on full blast like I always do? Well, that hardly seems neighborly. Huh? We're not neighbors? Or even friends? Just because we sit next to each other doesn't mean you automatically like me and everything about me? Well how silly of me to be so rude. Here's a thought – I'll use these handy-dandy earphones that accompanied my MP3 player purchase so that I can rev myself up while you can work in reasonable amounts of workplace noise levels. Problem solved!
Allow Myself to Introduce….Myself
Yes, technically your cubicle is sort of "your space" and you will probably spend as much time (or more) there than you do at home, but try to remember that you're a professional working in a professional environment. You need to walk that fine line of expressing yourself and making yourself somewhat comfortable without offending others. This really isn't the place for your autographed Marilyn Manson tour poster / shot glass collection / NRA Membership card to be displayed.
And please don't find me rude if I don't care what sorority / fraternity you were in or need to see the awards you won as a student. I'm very happy for you for being a go-getter. Obviously you impressed the boss with your résumé. Now impress your coworkers by being good at what you're being paid to do now. Sound harsh? Sorry, kid. But better to read it here than hear it from your new not-best-friend sitting on the other side of the 2-inch thick, 5-foot high "wall".
So Mind Your Manners
There you have it my cuddly little kittens. Now go out there and make me proud by being respectful, courteous, and benevolent Masters of your Domain.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire -08/15/12)- SilverCrest Mines Inc. (the "Company") (SVL.V) (STVZF) (STVZF) is pleased to announce its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012 (all figures in U.S. dollars unless otherwise specified).
HIGHLIGHTS OF Q2, 2012 (Compared to Q2, 2011):
-- Cash flow from operations (1)increased 148% to $7.2 million. -- Cash operating cost per silver equivalent ounce sold (2)decreased 16% to $6.94. -- Revenues reported - IFRS (3)rose 87% to $16.0 million on sales of 124,739 silver ounces and 8,679 gold ounces. -- Comprehensive earnings amounted to $9.2 million ($0.10 ps), compared to $0.8 million ($0.01 ps). -- Working capital increased 64% to $29.6 million, up from $18.0 million. -- Cash and cash equivalents were $34.9 million (at June 30, 2012).
J. Scott Drever, President stated; "We had a strong second quarter of 2012. We sold 637,050 silver equivalent ounces (2), for gross revenues of $16.0 million, with an average cash operating cost of $6.94 per silver equivalent ounce. The Santa Elena low cost, open pit heap leach mine operations continue to perform well and generated cash flows of $7.2 million which will contribute to the financing of the Santa Elena Expansion plan and the development of our major polymetallic La Joya Project. Q2, 2012, production was consistent with our budget and cash operating costs were below our budget of $8.20 per silver equivalent ounce. As a result, we are confident in meeting or exceeding our 2012 production guidance of 435,000 silver ounces and 33,000 gold ounces."

(2) This is a Non-IFRS performance measure. Silver equivalent ounces consist of the number of ounces of silver production plus the number of ounces of gold production multiplied by the ratio of the spot gold price to the spot silver price at the quarter end dates. There are variances in produced and sold ounces due to carry forward inventories from previous quarter. (3) Per "IFRS 18 - Revenue", revenue should be recorded at its fair value, which for gold and silver is the market spot price on the date revenue is recognized.
Comparison of Q2, 2012, to Q2, 2011
Comprehensive earnings were $9.2 million ($0.10 per share) compared with $0.8 million ($0.01 per share) for the same period in 2011. The significant increase in comprehensive earnings was largely driven by higher silver and gold sales volumes and a positive marked-to-market derivative impact, partially offset by lower realized silver and gold prices, increases in income and deferred tax expense and a larger exchange loss on translation to US Dollars.
In the second quarter 2012, silver and gold revenues totaled $16.0 million (2011 - $8.6 million), up 87% compared to the same quarter in 2011. Silver and gold revenues include $12.6 million (2011 - $6.2 million) earned on a cash basis and $2.7 million (2011 - $2.0 million) of non-cash revenues due to adjustments to gold spot market prices related to hedge facility deliveries and $0.7 million (2011 - $0.3 million) related to amortization of deferred revenues associated with the Sandstorm Agreement.
Silver sales were 124,739 ounces (2011 - 70,326) at an average realized price of $29 (2011 - $39). All silver production is unencumbered by hedging arrangements and sold at spot prices.
Gold sales were 8,679 ounces (2011 - 4,300). The Company sold 2,734 gold ounces (2011 - Nil) at market spot realized price of $1,649 (2011 - $Nil) per ounce. Gold delivered into the Hedging Facility was 4,210 ounces (2011 - 3,440) at an average realized price of $925 (2011 - $926). The non cash amount reported of $2.7 million (2011 - $2.0 million) represents the difference between the market spot price at the date of delivery for gold (at an average realized price of $1,574 (2011 - $1,510) per ounce) and the hedge price of $926.50 per ounce settled. This non-cash revenue reported is required by IFRS accounting policies. Gold delivered to Sandstorm was 1,735 ounces (2011 - 860) at an average realized gold price of $725 (2011 - $725) for which the Company recorded revenues of $1.3 million (2011 - $0.6 million) consisting of $0.6 million (2011 - $0.3 million) in cash received and $0.7 million (2011 - $0.3 million) from amortization of deferred revenue.
Cost of sales amounted to $4.4 million (2011 - $2.1 million). Cash cost per silver equivalent ounce sold amounted to $6.94 (2011 - $8.27). The decrease in cash cost per silver equivalent ounce over the same period in prior year reflects a significant increase in production volumes, crusher throughput and gold to silver ratio.
Under IFRS the Company's derivative instruments are fair valued at the financial position date, with the resulting gain or losses included in the operating results for the period. The derivative gain (loss) relates to the incremental fair value of the MBL Hedging Facility, which represents the difference between the market spot price of gold at the quarter end and strike price of $926.50 per ounce. Gain (loss) on derivative instruments during the period amounted to $2.4 million (2011 - ($3.5 million)) resulting from a change at the quarter end to $1,606 (2011 - $1,518) in the gold forward price from $1,671 (2011 - $1,456) in the previous quarter.
Comparison of Q2, 2012, to Q1, 2012
Comprehensive earnings were up 44% to $9.2 million ($0.10 per share), from $6.3 million ($0.07 per share). The increase in comprehensive earnings was largely driven by a positive marked-to-market derivative impact, partially offset by slightly lower sales volumes, lower realized silver and gold prices, lower income tax expense and exchange loss on translation to US Dollars.
Operating cash flows were down 41% to $7.2 million ($0.08 per share), from $12.2 million ($0.14 per share) primarily due to lower realized silver and gold prices and more gold deliveries into the Hedging Facility. The realized price of silver sales and gold spot sales were down 12% and 4% respectively. SilverCrest accelerated gold deliveries into the Hedging Facility, 4,210 ounces were delivered into the Hedging Facility during Q2 compared with 1,359 ounces in the previous quarter.

From the time I was in second grade signing up classmates for my own personal animal rights demonstration, to the countless stray animals I brought home un-announced, and the students I taught in the inner cities of East Los Angeles. I have spent the majority of my life quietly convinced that I can and will, in one way or another, have to save the entire world. Continue Reading
I know there are plenty of people that shudder at the thought of mom bloggers. Or being called a mommy blogger.
But why? What's behind the stigma? Continue Reading
Parenting can be hard. And with four kids six and under? Well, it is pretty much always exhausting.
But, it can be funny too. Usually when taken out of context. And in very very small doses.
Like this conversation which took place in my car on the way back from the beach. If you completely remove the idea that we were all tired, hungry, sunburned, and sandy, it is quite entertaining.
Me: Do you want grilled cheese or a cheese burger?
Them: a toy.
Me: No, we're not getting happy meals. We're going somewhere else. Grilled cheese or a cheese burger?
Them: Cheeseburger. And a toy.
Me: They don't have toys.
Them: Ok a cheeseburger.
Me: OK
Them: And a toy.
Or this simple question to one my small children when he appeared to be unable to hear or understand a single word coming out of my mouth. Despite the fact that I was on the brink of being declared a wild banshee.
Me: Do we need to clean out your ears?!!! You don't seem to be able to hear a single I'm saying when I ask you to do something!!! (through clenched teeth that are just about ready to bite someone's/ anyone's head off)
Him: Maybe. This ear (pointing to the left) makes a lot more wax than this one (pointing to the right).
And then there is of course the joy of gift giving. The excitement and anticipation on their faces as they open up a gift wondering what surprise it holds inside. Unless of course this happens.
Kid: I'm not going home until I build the Lego set we got him. (Him being the birthday boy, coincidentally standing next to the speaker)
Me: That is supposed to be a surprise, he hasn't opened it yet.
Kid: I have nothing but bad news. My brother told him the second we got here.
And of course the phrase every parent wants to hear out of their twenty month old toddler.
Her: I go on the Zip Line too!
Me: (I got nothing)
Ok so it's not exactly the six quotes MamaKat indicated for her Practically World Famous Writer's Workshop. But, it's close in it's own the best I can do way.

Yes I know this is a recycled post. But we've been on the virus train for over a week now. I've been up since 2am with a coughing vomiting child. And the fourth kid is about to come down with a fever. So, you really don't want to read anything I write today.
In fact I don't even know if I am currently making sense. So without further adieu… a post I wrote while coherent about how my one baby got her name. Sort of…

Sinai's outpatient department is the primary site for OB-GYN residents to provide ambulatory health care. There are over 8,400 visits per year to the OB-GYN clinics. Residents have their own continuity clinic session and also rotate through general obstetrics and gynecology, high-risk obstetrics, family planning, adolescent/pediatric gynecology, menopause, colposcopy, oncology and gynecologic endocrine sessions.
The faculty is chosen for these specific ambulatory rotations because they have demonstrated post-graduate training and/or expertise in these disciplines. One of the program's extraordinary strengths is the high level of surgical training it provides all of its residents.
Resident caseloads are carefully monitored and are assigned based on level of acuity and post-graduate year. Adequate time and supervision are provided to each resident to ensure quality care for these complex patients.

Tabatha Abu El-Haj
Associate Professor of Law
Tabatha Abu El-Haj's principal interest is the American political process, including the ways it is structured by constitutional law and the administrative state. With a background in the sociology of law, she is particularly interested in participatory politics, including popular constitutionalism.
Professor Abu El-Haj's publications include "Linking the Questions: Judicial Supremacy as a Matter of Constitutional Interpretation," in Washington University Law Review, "The Neglected Right of Assembly," in the UCLA Law Review, "Book Review: The Calligraphic State: Conceptualizing the Study of Society through Law," in the International Journal for the Semiotics of Law and "Armed Conflict: The Protection of Children under International Law," (with C. Hamilton), in the International Journal of Children's Rights.
Professor Abu El-Haj received her doctorate in Law and Society from New York University. Her dissertation, "Changing the People: Transformations in American Democracy (1880-1930)," documents the rise of municipal ordinances requiring permits for public assemblies and argues that American democracy was transformed in the 20th century as the nature of state regulation of democratic politics changed. "Changing the People: Legal Regulation and American Democracy," based on her dissertation, was published in the April 2011 issue of the New York University Law Review.
She received her J.D. from New York University School of Law, where she was a Furman Fellow and graduated Order of the Coif.
Before entering law school, Professor Abu El-Haj evaluated local and national education reform projects with Research for Action in Philadelphia and conducted research for the Children's Legal Centre in Colchester, U.K.
She clerked for Judge Harry T. Edwards of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.

Two. Dollars.
Much like the newspaper boy from Better Off Dead, Demi wants her $2.00. FOUR WEEKS, TWENTY PAPERS, THAT'S TWO DOLLARS, PLUS TIP. Even though her ass is by far richer and more plasticized than Ashton Kutcher, the hold up in Dummy Demi Moore filing for divorce according to TMZ is her need for some of Ashton's cash. Okay, in our Ramen Noodle, store brand bread and Pabst Blue Ribbon worlds, Ashton is fabulously wealthy (yes, I just typed Ashton and fabulous in the same sentence, and yes, you should slap the shit out of me for that) but when you look at Demi's net worth, you see that #getmoneybitch doesn't really apply here. It's like Donald Trump rolling the valet for his $75 in tips for the day. Bitter much?
Sources say that they can't agree on the settlement, and she wants a fat one (don't we all?) like the one she got when she divorced Bruce Willis. Even though she is loaded in more ways than one, she's not just going to cut her losses and walk away like that!! In Ashton's dreams. While he has Mila Kunis on the one side screaming "Get rid of that funky chicken dancing bitch or no more pussy popping for YOU!" he has Demi on the other side screaming...well, some unintelligible shit because she's wasted on whippits and Red Bull. But the point of her screams is supposed to be DIDN'T ASK FOR A DIME....TWO! DOLLARS!!
It will be another six months until the divorce can be finalized, so we should be plenty sick of laughing at Demi's toddler rompers and dance NOs that make Lenny Kravitz and the rest of us cringe by then. GIRL, or more to the point, WOMAN who hasn't seen "girl" since the late 80's, please. Collect the shards of your dignity, quit acting like a spoiled little bitch, and find someone at least a little handsome to try to make Ashton jealous. NO. Seriously, I'm tired of being secondarily embarrassed for you Demi. Just act like a normal jaded slut, slash his tires, and MOVE. THE. FUCK. ON.

STOP EVERYTHING: The Taliban Is Going After Prince Hot Ginge
After burying her beloved Corgi Monty, this is the last thing The Queen needs today. It's the last thing any of us need. Those stuntin' minions from deep within the musty asshole of Hell are using Prince Hot Ginge's name for some shameless publicity. A rep for the Taliban (yes, they have a rep and no, they don't share one with the Kardashians...I think) announced today that now that they know PHG is stationed at Camp Bastion at Helmond, they're coming for his crystallized ginger ass cheeks. Monday is already gross and now it's gotten a lot grosser, because I'm actually copying + pasting a statement from the damn Taliban (via The Daily Beast):
"Prince Harry came to Afghanistan and he is a high value target for us. We will try to arrest him. Because he is an Apache helicopter pilot, he will target us more. If we are not able to arrest him we will target him."
The Taliban also said that they think sending PHG to Afghanistan is just a propaganda stunt to take the attention away from his naked Las Vegas antics. Yes, they actually said that. Then they kiki'd about Kristen Stewart looking like a haggard skank at TIFF and flipped through Chanel's lookbook to guess which dress Blake Lively wore to her wedding. Those bitches. If they ever get close to PHG, he'll just drop his panties and that will make them drop their guns and pick up their iPhones to take pictures of his royal ginger scepter. And you know, they'll sell those pictures to TMZ too.
Those bitches better watch out, because Prince Hot Ginge WILL gladly fuck all 72 of their virgins and then some.

If you are searching for a java developer job it can be very difficult to decide what area of the technologies sector will be best suited. One area of the this sector however is proving to stand apart from the rest in terms of java jobs and particularly java developer opportunities – and that is the satellite and navigation sector. Why is this? It is quite obvious in some respects – satellite and navigation organisations are seeking to remain at the vanguard of GPS technology and this means that they are constantly striving to develop the best products that are in the main, person centred. Person centred in that they want to develop products that assist people to get to where they want to be.
Satellite navigation has become an asset for people all over the world, but for organisations that operate in this sector there has to be an ambition to produce the best, user friendly products that will keep them at the forefront of the market. Ambitious organisations therefore requite ambitious java developers that in return will continue to develop new technologies for the market. It is therefore clear to see that the best java jobs are in the satellite and navigation sector, simply because to stand still in technology development in this market would mean disaster – the technology is in demand but it must continually develop as it globally expands.
The global demand for satellite and navigational equipment continues to grow, mainly due to more advanced mapping of the world we live in and the availability of new regions to be explored in terms of GPS. It is this reason that the best java jobs are available for IT developers, java programmers and those looking for java development opportunities. Some organisations are more ambitious than others and it is these ambitious companies that offer the best in terms of java jobs. A commitment to ambition drives a company to remain ahead of the game and in return there is a prerequisite for ambitious employees, resulting in opportunities for both parties to create a technological environment that is cutting edge. At the cutting edge of java development and at the cutting edge of the product market.
Where are the best java jobs – they are in the satellite and navigational sector. There is a commitment in this sector by the market leaders to remain exactly so and to remain market leader means a commitment to be ambitious, in product development and to offer the best java jobs and opportunities to attract the very best people, to help meet this objective. For people searching for the best java job opportunities, considering dynamic and forward looking satellite and navigational organisations can mean a career in an ever developing technology sector. This continual technological development environment results in the best opportunities for personal development and that is why people searching for java jobs are turning to the satellite and navigational sector to secure the best java opportunities.
