Not much to explain, your wife is a teacher who will directly benefit from the merge that you encouraged while sitting on the Mohawk school board. Makes people wonder if that wasn't your motivation to advocate the merge. How's that for an explanation?<quoted text>
Well I see you really didn't want to explain your remark.
Just your lame attempt to be funny.

Typical...You explain nothing.
You have demonstrated you have a personal problem that no one cares about. Don't be sad, I'll get you a tissue.
Now try again to explain, type slowly.
I understand she's a teacher, he's a board member. How does a Mohawk teacher benefit from a merger and how does a Mohawk school board member benefit?

Please review your ethics pamphlet and conflicts of intrest clauses.
#64 Jan 22, 2013
Typical...You explain nothing. How would a teacher and board member benefit?
Board members, administrators, teachers and employee of all the school districts have answered questions in public and on the net. There is no conflict.
You have demonstrated you have a personal problem that no one cares about. Don't be sad, I'll get you a tissue.
Now try again to explain IF YOU CAN.
I understand she's a teacher, he's a board member. How does a Mohawk teacher benefit from a merger and how does a Mohawk school board member benefit?
#65 Jan 23, 2013
Well... Matty's spouse receives her pay increase after the merge. Matt as a sitting board member benefits from his spouses good fortune. Does that clarify it for you or do I need to write it on crayon for you?

Petty, petty, petty and loses sight of the big picture. I have no dog in this fight by the way. At the end of the day, the merger is about providing schools in areas where the tax base cannot support a district, such as the entire Mohawk Valley.
There is no financial model out there where each little village can afford their very own school district over the long term any more. You need X to run schools and your tax base brings in y. That's a problem. The issue over matching teachers pay is a minute portion of a larger merged budget (done in corporate America all the time and a cost of merging, hence the state funds) and fixating on it takes your focus off the real issue confronting not only your schools, but your fire departments, your police departments, etc. In order to remove costs from our NYS tax structure, we have to get away from each little hamlet, each little village, each little town having their own administration and their own separate services. That begins with the schools.
#67 Jan 23, 2013
I am new to this sight but am wondering if Mohawk and Ilion merge will all the teachers be retained or will cuts in that area be considered part of the advantages?
#68 Jan 23, 2013
I am not a teacher, but most of them are already short of teachers in certain subjects (upper maths, sciences,languages) and while a merger would solve most of those shortages, I am not certain it will cover them all. Part of the poor academic performance issues these schools suffer from are related to a lack of money for teachers in key regents subjects.
#69 Jan 24, 2013
Yeah, You're right. Everything is petty. Why try saving money when you can continue the bloated union status quo. Same teachers, same administrators that have failed us in the first place. Same bloated increased budgets year after year. It's always the same pigs at the public troth about to reward themselves once again. Nothing adds up to anything. One hundred and fifty teachers and administrators getting raises will never amount to a hill of beans. Not to mention with bigger pay comes bigger pensions.Of course the response is we have the money. When that money runs out, and it will. Who will be on the hook for all the higher wages and pensions at that point? You have the audacity to tell tax payers they are selfish. This has always been a union payday under the guise of "It's for the kids". It's that simple. Does that explanation help you?

Cuomo has promised a 40% increase in the education budget statewide. Problem solved. You can all stop hating each other now.

Sure thing pal. I have some swamp land in Nevada for sale too.
#73 Jan 24, 2013
Dude, there is one HUGE difference.....I pay taxes in school districts where they have merged and I get to witness first hand, more than once, what a merger does for a district and what it does not. You are overly hung up on what teachers get paid. That is the market and their related expenses will naturally be a major part of the budget because that is what schools are supposed to do. Schools cost a certain amount to run and you simply do NOT have the tax base to single handedly afford a school district. Get over it.
You think teachers are so overpaid, get a masters and earn the slot ! Your resentment of teachers and unions blind you to the possibilities. Don't go there...I neither belong to a union nor am I associated with any school district. Outside of the happy valley here, teacher pay is not an issue, particularly when the parents are like educated.
Your poor scholastic performance is another issue related to not having the resources to hire the teachers to teach the subjects
that are measured. This is also grow up time. Your kids need a different education than you did. They need math, sciences, multiple languages, computers in the classroom. Believe me, I run across high school students around the world and it is eye opening how little our local kids are exposed to. You want better academic performance, your entitlement mentality wants it free and it simply is not.
#74 Jan 24, 2013
School district do you pay taxes in?
#75 Jan 24, 2013
This is why your funding was cut and will continue to be CUT.
No bang for the buck.
NY tops in school spending, near bottom on grads

#76 Jan 24, 2013
I'm guessing crayon's are all you have.
No shht, will all teachers get an increase in pay with a merger or just Matty's wife? How much of a raise?
As I'm certain you are aware with a merger there is an election of new board members.
Those newly elected board members (with or without Matty) by April 2013 will develop a proposed 2013-14 school district budget for the May 14, 2013 budget vote.
Then by July 1st 2013 the new board will begin framing new labor contracts.
Maybe you'd like to call ahead and let the district know who the new board members will be and how the new contracts will read?
You could save us a lot of time.

I will run for boe and I currently run a 77 million a month business but what will happen is they will not let me on boe cause I run that...it makes to much sense...when you have a person as dumb as a obreza you get what you get....we need people who know how to run a business not cow milk...
United States
#78 Jan 24, 2013
Common sense wins the day. You don't not need to be a business genius to be an effective board member.
If you are a respected person of the community and a respected business person you'd have equal or a better shot at being elected as anyone else.
You however would not be elected.
#79 Jan 24, 2013
If that's true and anyone who THINKS he/she can help because he/she has good intentions, we are all in trouble.
#80 Jan 24, 2013
4 million is a lot of money but it isn't when you have a large school. It won't take long to eat that up after the union buy-ups and extra transportation that more than doubles. Would they merge without the incentive aid? NO! Why? because everything would cost more and you are less efficient. After the money starts to run out we're back to cutting again. Then of course they will close the Jarvis building and move everything to Ilion to save more money and Mohawk's home values plummet further with no school and the neighborhood around the abandoned Jarvis building will be bad as the building will sit vacant and deteriorate. This after 20 million has been spent on it over the past few years.
#81 Jan 25, 2013
First, an Ilion/Mohawk merger does not produce a "large" school. Larger than you are accustomed to for sure, but not large in the scope of things.
In terms of market value, most of the valley village homes already have little to no long term market value and little to draw new money here. Cutting your way to prosperity clearly has not been working. If small local schools were such a draw, why does your student population keep declining ? Why does it keep increasing for the top 10 ranked schools in upstate New York. None of them are "small".
I fail to see where having one administration vs. 2, one set of teachers vs. 2, one set of transportation vehicles vs. 2, etc., costs more. Operating costs will rise regardless of district size over time, but the problem locally is that it is spread over too small a tax base and too few students. It would not make sense for a private/public entity to have a $15-$20M facility per valley town, why would you think you can do it with schools ?
In terms of the union buy-ups and transportation, there is nothing
outrageous about teacher/administration salary packages or transportation costs for either district. Why would they be outrageous combined ?
You want everything and you want it for nothing....I get that. But I am afraid life will disappoint you. Look at Herkimer......a segment voted not to merge, but now disappears when the $1.3M bill is due. Are they willing to absorb the difference over the long term ? Are they able to ? Probably not. Do you want to be in their shoes ? You are only a year away from that.

Bella Thorne Almost Spills Out of Her Tiny Top as She Parties at EDC Las Vegas - Watch the Video
- 02:38 PM, Jun 19
taking a break from the industry though during that time he also gave contribution to girlfriend Beyonce's second solo album "B'Day" (2006), singing together in one of its tracks tentatively titled "Deja Vu." Amidst the period of time there were rumors swirling in Hollywood, speculating on his going to marry the R&B singer. As whispers of their wedding talk made the gossip pages everyday, Beyonce made it clear to everyone, released a public statement saying she won't get married in the near future. The pop singer, during an interview with Ellen DeGeneres aired on September 5th, 2006, claimed all the wedding reports as "big fat rumors", while revealed further "One day I hope to be married with children."
And ending his three years retirement from music scene, Jay-Z released an announcement, confirming his comeback with his forthcoming set, "Kingdom Come", which was released in November 2006. For the comeback album the man worked together with some music experts, like Timbaland, Kanye West, Dr. Dre and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin. The album like its predecessor received a warm welcome from his fans and was sold well over two million copies worldwide. Rumors were warm that Jay-Z would leave his position as the CEO of Def Jam to join his lover Beyonce in Columbia. However, during an interview in August 2007, the rapper denied having made decision to leave Def Jam and claimed that his contract with the label merely expired and not yet renewed. He came out with the announcement of a new album in September 2007 after being inspired by a movie called 'American Gangster'. The producer that shined that year through a collaboration with Rihanna in 'Umbrella', prepared it as a concept album that is also titled 'American Gangster'. First single 'Blue Magic' was released on radio outlets on September 20, 2007 followed by the second one 'Roc Boys (And the Winner Is...)' that was produced by P. Diddy. Upon the album's release on November 6, it entered the Billboard Hot 200 chart at #1 after selling 425,000 copies. This achievement has put him in the same position to the late legendary singer Elvis Presley to have all 10 of his albums opened at the top position.

Greetings Race Fans!My name is Mark Osborne, and I'm writing in hopes that you will get a copy of my book, "REBEL SPEEDWAY." What's unique and different about my book from other track history books, is the fact that I hand-drew and painted 115 illustrations for the book, which took me about three years to complete. I also have 35 actual photos of the cars and stars of my hometown track in Sumter, South Carolina. My book follows racing from 1957-1976, and I wrote about the NASCAR drivers who raced there like Richard Petty, David Pearson, Ned Jarrett, Junior Johnson, and Timmonsville's own Cale Yarborough, who got his start at the track in Sumter.If you want to read a little about my book, go to Amazon.com and just type in "REBEL SPEEDWAY." THe cover is HOT, and I designed both front and back covers.I am on Facebook, and if you can view every picture there in my REBEL SPEEDWAY photo album. I also have several You Tube videos which show a lot of my paintings for the book, and other work I have done. I also do paintings on commission for drivers, and fans and really enjoy painting the old-timers with their coupes and coaches. Amazon sells my book, but if you go through me, I will send you a personally signed copy, which of course, will up the value. You don't have to be from Sumter, South Carolina, to appreciate the work I did in this book. Chances are, if you grew up breathing in clay dust from those Saturday nights at the races, you'll love reading this 142 page keepsake, and looking at all the cool pics. Every fan, every mechanic and every driver should have a copy of Rebel Speedway in their home, garage, or toolbox!Thanks so much, and GO TO THE RACES!!!Sincerely,Mark Osborne
Folks, here's a YOU TUBE production of a lot of the paintings I did for my book. The first few pics are of actor Billy Bob Thornton, posing with a painting I did for him, of his movie character "Darrell," in the movie "U-Turn." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHJ7DMxdmSo
More race car paintings! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lY5-WQUCLWw
Folks, for some reason, I can't get the You Tube prompts to high-light, so you'll just have to cut and paste. This is the third video of my Rebel Speedway paintings: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jitmuLp0oGU

Hi. Looking into buying a Subau. I found a good one I been viewing but my mate seems to think that if I get a problem the mechanical side of things is complicated and expensive on these engines, even they are common cars.
He also said you have to pull the whole engine up just to do the spark plugs cause they are at the bottom??. He might be just blowing ass so thought I would ask here cause hes putting me off a good car I really want to buy and I dont know much about cars.
I been looking at Subaru legacys. Anyone have any helpful info on these for a pre purchase. Are they complicated to work on?
Any help would be appreciated.

The Austrian Presidency has organised a conference to discuss how the EU can be brought closer to its citizens and what contributions regions, local authorities and national parliaments can make.
Opening the two-day conference "Europe begins at home" on 18 April in St. Pölten (Austria), the Austrian Chancellor Wolfgang Schüssel said its aim was to "address the public's concerns and fears and answer their questions". EU institutions and member states were asked to examine which tasks could best be carried out by the regions and member states themselves and which ones should be left to the EU.
To counteract "creeping centralism", Schüssel said: "We need stronger regions and stronger local authorities as a counterweight […] We want to make the debate on the future of Europe more concrete. We are striving to achieve a new balance and trying to make the added value of the Union more tangible."
Michel Delebarre, President of the Committee of the Regions, said that the principle of subsidiarity remained the only method for the EU to regain the confidence of the EU citizens. But it should not "become a weapon that backfires on us by locking us into conflicts of jurisdiction". "Better lawmaking" could be achieved by early consultations of the regions, impact assessments and early warnings passed on from the local and regional authorities on laws likely to involve heavy administrative or financial costs.
Paavo Lipponen, speaker of the Finnish Parliament and former prime minister, said that national parliaments should have a greater say in EU affairs. At the same time, subsidiarity alone would not solve all problems, since the quality of EU legislative acts – which often were too detailed – needed improvement. The Finnish parliament had been conducting subsidiarity checks for ten years, but without finding a single violation, he said.
Although the conference is seen as part of the debate surrounding the revival of the EU Constitution, several speakers emphasised that improvements could be made without it.

Sen. Joe Lieberman, a former Democratic vice presidential nominee who campaigned for the Republican presidential ticket in 2008, called Sarah Palin a "powerful force" who speaks for "a lot of people out there."
In an interview with Newsmax.TV, Lieberman described Sen. John McCain's former running mate as "warm and likable," and warned her opponents not to dismiss her or what she has to say. The Connecticut senator, who left the Democratic Party and is now an independent, said "everybody should listen" to her.
I think ... Sarah Palin for a lot of people has become a spokesperson. People worried that government has forgotten them, that it has grown too big, that the deficit is growing too large, and in some sense that we're not being as strong as we should be in the world — Governor Palin has spoken to those concerns as much as anyone.
I do disagree with her on some of the specifics that she has said, but I think anybody who underestimates Sarah Palin as a political force in America does so at some peril, because she is speaking for a lot of people out there.
Here's the video:

Frey interconnect and speaker cables
as reviewed by Victor Chavira
Frey - from Old Norse Freyr: the Norse god of fertility, crops, peace, and prosperity.
Speaker cables, interconnects, and power cords are frequently reviewed items here at PFO. This trend reflects the growing number of new cable manufacturers over the past several years. One of the most respected and successful cable companies is Nordost. I have been user of Nordost products for many years; currently I use Blue Heaven interconnects in my small secondary system and El Dorado power cables in my primary system. When the opportunity arose to evaluate Nordost's latest cables featuring trickle-down technology from their state-of-the-art Valahlla series, I gladly accepted the assignment.
Frey are Nordost's premium product in their Norse mid level line of cables. Frey interconnect retails for $900 for one meter pair, and $2400 for two meters of speaker cable. To put things in perspective, a one meter pair of Valhalla interconnect retails for $3600. Therefore, Nordost's Frey makes advanced Valhalla technology accessible for about one fourth the price.
Frey interconnects feature 26 AWG solid OFC conductors with an extruded silver surface. A lavender colored monofilament thread is then spiraled around the conductors over which layers of insulation and shielding are applied. The speaker cables contain twenty-eight 24 AWG solid OFC conductors in a parallel geometry that is extruded through transparent Teflon insulation. In both cases, the monofilament spiral effectively shields the conductors from coming into contact with the insulating material along 80 % of its surface. Viewing the very fine purple thread through a magnifying glass is fascinating. One can only imagine the Rube Goldberg-like device that perfectly spins the colored thread around each conductor. Frey interconnects are terminated with WBT NextGen RCAs, and their speaker cables are finished with Nordost Z plugs.
Before listening, I should let the reader know that these cables were broken in on an audiodharma Cable Cooker for about 72 hours. (For more details on the Cable Cooker, a PFO Brutus Award and Writers' Choice Award Winner, visit Alan Kafton's site at http://www.audioexcellenceaz.com/.)
The first Frey to go into my system were the interconnects. A one meter length connected my Phillips 963 DVD/SACD player to my Magnum Dynalab 208 receiver. A three meter length relayed signals from my EAR 834P phono section. Ironically, the sources I listen to most often are FM, which requires no interconnect, and my Mac Mini as music server, which is linked with a $30 Monster Cable interconnect. The first musical selection I listened to was "Blackest Eyes" by Porcupine Tree on DVD (two channel DTS mix down). I immediately noticed many more details, greater depth perception, and sharply focused images. The music rocked hard and sounded richly layered and complex. I also noted excellent separation of instruments with complete lack of blending or blurring of sound.
Next, I listened to the Grateful Dead's 1974 Mars Hotel LP. "Unbroken Chain" is rare studio performance that truly showcases the band at their musical best. The song contains excellent musical interplay and musical details such as gently accented chimes, contrasting electric and acoustic guitars, and ethereal vocals by Donna Jean Godchaux. This track is very familiar to me, yet the Frey cables revealed fine details that previously passed below the radar of my perception. The patterns of strumming and the distinct sound of a pick gliding across individual strings, along with layers of voices and percussion, were brought into focus from the periphery expanding my view of the music. More importantly, the musicians and instruments were coherently defined across a three-dimensional soundstage that exceeded the parameters of my listening space.
Clearly, the more than twice as expensive Frey interconnects were a significant improvement over my standard $400 Soundstrings. If Nordost's design goal was to create a truly transparent interconnect with imperceptible levels of coloration for under $1K, then I'd say the mission is accomplished.
The positive experience with the interconnect prompted me to substitute the Nordost Frey for my Analysis Plus Oval 9 speaker cables. The new cables sounded unremarkable during the first few hours of play. Certainly speed and clarity were present in spades, but the music did not sound fully fleshed out. As a result, further break-in with FM background music continued for several days. Gradually, the Frey continued to improve and bloom like fruit that has reached the peak of its flavor. No other component in my experience ripened so radically as a result of extended break in. For example, within a week the classical music broadcast I had been listening to for background music sounded so vivid that I could no longer casually pass through the listening space without pausing to enjoy a concerto or sonata to the end of its movement.
Stravinsky's Pulcinella is a celebratory piece of chamber music. I recently had the opportunity to listen to this music performed live by conductor Jeffrey Kahane and the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra at the Colburn School of Performing Arts' excellent Zipper Hall. The 400 seat Herbert Zipper Concert Hall was completed in 1998 and has among the best acoustics of music performance venues in Los Angeles. The most important aspects of the performance were the purity of tone from the orchestra, the undistorted dimensions of space and time, and uncompressed dynamic range. These were the same qualities that Frey brought forth when listening to Pulcinella at home.
For example, the Serenata movement begins with a lovely melody played by oboe. Frey transmits the true timbre of the oboe and orchestra better than any cable I've had in my listening room. The Vivo movement starts with a humorous burst of trombone. The trombone is situated toward the right rear of the orchestra. The brassy trombone is the primary voice in this part of the ballet. The trombone's laugh-like line is scored to project over the orchestra, rather than blend into the fabric of a chord. Frey preserves the trombone's space and time relationship to the orchestra and recording venue. No set of components in my experience can successfully reproduce the uncompressed dynamic range of an orchestra. However, with the Frey cables in place, my system rendered soft shadings and large scale dramatic swings with effortless aplomb.
During my review time with Frey I viewed several DVDs, the most notable of which was Pride and Prejudice. With its elegant dialogue and classically inspired soundtrack, Pride and Prejudice is movie that I thoroughly enjoyed. Dialogue sounded clear, natural, and expressive. The piano plays a minor role in the film but a major role in the soundtrack, especially the Beethoven-like, "Dawn" and "Mrs. Darcy." Frey produced piano tones with a precision previously unmatched. Chords and melodies sounded notably more coherent than with my reference. The piano's size and structure were more easily visualized with the Nordost cable.
An unpleasant consequence of audio reviewing is being left with the unsettling thought that one's system is not performing to its maximum potential. A fine new product comes in, and the next thing you know you're thinking about upgrading. My current stable of cables and interconnects are quite good and of high value. However, the Nordost Frey products are technologically and sonically superior. The goddess Frey offered me a taste of the best sounding cables available as opposed to the best that I could afford. Frey interconnects and speaker cables are the most transparent and least colored components I've ever had in my system. They are a perfect reviewer's tool, capable of communicating the sonic signatures of components and source material.
The Nordost Frey is a rising star to the top tier of cables and receives my highest recommendation. I will regret to see them go. Victor Chavira

Audi AG CEO Rupert Stadler raised a few eyebrows at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January when he confirmed that Audi was still very much considering a North American production point. Just how this manifests itself remains to be seen, but Automobile's Georg Kacher thinks he may have an idea... at least in part.

One of the most important items that I have with me at almost all times is my planner. Without it, I would truly be lost and never know what I am supposed to do or where I am supposed to be and at what time. I have used a planner during my entire time here at Roger Williams University. I used one in high school as well, but I need one now more than ever.

The world-renowned poet and author Oscar Wilde is quoted as saying, "One can never be overdressed or overeducated." Have you ever really thought of what "overeducated" could mean? I have, but I can't really think of an appropriate definition, simply because I think that there should be no limit on how much education one should receive. No limit on education? More college after RWU? Enter: graduate school.

There are so many reasons why it is important to get involved in different clubs and organizations on campus! Here are just a few reasons to consider….
1.) It allows you to build friendships – getting involved in different clubs and organizations is always a great way to meet new people and build friendships. If you choose to participate in a certain club or organization, chances are you will already have something in common with other members of the group! Becoming involved will also help connect you to RWU and strengthen your place in the campus community. It will allow you to make connections with many different resources on campus.

Although there are still three months to go until the end of the semester, it is extremely important to start determining what your plans are going to be for the summer. After finals are done, many students are in desperate need of a period of relaxation where they can regain their momentum to pursue other obligations. While it is important to rest after having put in your best effort to complete final exams and papers, it is also a great time to start working in a job that reflects your interests so you can make the most of your time!

Choosing a major is a difficult decision. We spend most of our waking life working, so there are a lot of pressures that ride on the choice you make, such as how much education you'll need, how much money you can expect to make, how in love with the work you will be, and how satisfied your parents will be with your choice. That's a lot to think about, so let's make it a little bit more simple by focusing on the most important aspect of that decision-making process: how in love with the work you will be. That's right. How passionate you are about what you'll be doing. Your best decision won't come from pleasing your parents or following the money. The best way to make a decision you won't regret is to choose a career in something that you truly love, and here are 3 reasons why:

New Zealand, Australia, China, Japan, South Africa, Ireland, England… These are just a few of the many places that RWU has to offer when it comes to studying abroad. Studying abroad means that you get the opportunity to continue your education in another country. Not only will you be learning in a foreign land, you also get the chance to live the life of people from a vast majority of cultures and backgrounds. There are year-long programs, semester long programs, and even shorter programs.
As the fall semester is winding down and finals are just a few weeks away, you may be feeling as though you have finally gotten settled in here. You know where all the buildings around campus are located and you feel like you have finally learned the ropes of being a Roger Williams student. Now that you are feeling at home here you may wish you had gotten more involved in campus clubs and organizations and perhaps you want to become a student leader and share your RWU spirit with other students. Well, it is never too late to get involved at RWU and a great program to participate in is the SOAR program!
SOAR is a leadership program based off the Social Change Model, an idea that leadership consists of three parts: the individual, the group, and the community. The program is broken down into three tiers, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the model.
"Career" can be one of those scary words that send chills up your spine. Trust me, I know. I've been there. Ever been to one of those family parties where you are bombarded with those dreaded questions: "So, what are you going to do after college? What do you want to be?" What a silly question. After college, I'm going to work. When I graduate, I want to be happy and successful. What you want to "be" is a silly way of phrasing a job. However, it could be potentially useful in defining a career.

It is now November, and with Thanksgiving break around the corner, it is important to know how to prepare for finals, which will quickly sneak up on you by the time you get back from break. Whether you have one final or five, it is important that you prepare well ahead of time and are mindful in your habits. It has taken me some time and experience, but I have finally figured out a plan when preparing for finals. Here are ten tips that I believe will help you when it comes to preparing for your finals:

It's fall; the leaves on campus are beautiful shades of red, orange, and brown; the seasonal wind swirls around campus creating a wind tunnel, which is at times inconvenient, but is nonetheless a staple of our wonderful campus. With almost two months of classes under your belt, you may feel that you are finally in the swing of the semester. Just as you feel a sense of confidence in this current semester, here comes that time to think about choosing classes for spring semester. For most people, that is when the panic sets in: What classes are available? What are the required courses for my major? What if I can't get into a class? HOW DO I EVEN REGISTER?? Take a deep breath. This is easier than it seems.

The blog's weekly green news will now appear every Monday as it seems easier to gather information while watching Sunday night football…
Brazil likes bioplastic
US bioplastic producer Cereplast is supplying 2 million pounds of Cereplast Compostable resin to Canguru Embalagens Ltda., a Brazilian manufacturer of single-use food service items, and to a Brazil-based subsidiary of a global agribusiness and food company, for the next two years.
Bioenergy in chem production
Specialty chemical company Lanxess is building a biomass-based cogeneration plant in Porto Feliz, Brazil, to supply energy to the company's inorganic pigments manufacturing facility located within the site.New biolubricant collaboration
The University of Northern Iowa's National Ag-Based Lubricant Center and Canada-based Linnaeus Plant Sciences will develop a new oilseed which will be used solely for the production of biolubricants in applications such as as fuel additives, hydraulic fluids, and oils in construction, public bus transportation and lobster fishing.
Flame-safe bioplastic
Canon and Toray Industries have developed a bio-based plastic that is said to have the world's highest level of flame retardance. The bioplastic is going to be used in exterior plastic parts for Canon multifunction office systems to be launched next year.
DOE invests in geothermal research
The Department of Energy has granted Ormat Technologies $3.4m to demonstrate the viability of Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS). The investments are anticipated to lead to the production of substantial levels of electricity, particularly in regions where conventional geothermal resource development is not economically viable.
And in ICIS news (which requires subscription):
German photovoltaics firm Schott Solar has cancelled plans for an initial public offer (IPO) due to the drastic deterioration and turmoil on capital markets.

The Nokia Lumia 920 was unveiled on Wednesday 5 September, but Nokia did not say when the phone would go on sale, or how roughly much it would cost. Telecoms sources are now saying that the phone will go on sale in November, in time to capitalise on most of the Christmas rush.
We're just a couple of months away from the release of the Nokia Lumia 920, which was unveiled this week. According to telecoms industry sources cited by Reuters, the phone will go on sale in November. It may be in time to snag a few Christmas sales, but it's a way behind the iPhone 5, which is likely to go on sale by early October at the latest.
The "European telecoms operator" exec source said that the phone will be available in the second half of November in a fistful of other tier one countries - presumably including the UK. Although refusing to be named, the exec also said that Nokia has pretty much flattened its chances of selling many Lumia phones in the next two months, "The problem is that Nokia has temporarily destroyed the market for its own phones. Nobody will buy the old Windows phone and until the new Lumia comes, the market is absolutely dead."
Worsening the lot of phones like the Lumia 800 and Lumia 900, Windows Phone 7 handsets will not get an upgrade to Windows Phone 8. It's a fresh start, apparently, but one that could leave a lot of bad blood for the Nokia Lumia series in its wake.
As usual, it's more bad news for Nokia. And the reception its Lumia 920 and Lumia 820 phones have received thus far isn't looking too rosy, either. In the hours following the phones' unveiling, Nokia share values started to diminish, shrinking a worrying 15.9 per cent by the close of the markets that day.
Who's up for giving Nokia hand and picking up a Lumia 920? Drop us a comment if you are.

Collinite Fans, need advice
I recently bought Collinite 476s And 845 Insulator. Which of these would be best for Summer?
Re: Collinite Fans, need advice
You can't go wrong with either. I've never used 476, but some claim it has a slight edge in durability over 845. I love 845 --except for the awful odor. If they could add some pleasant scents, it would be near perfect. I don't use my 845 often -- just because I have others that are easier to work with, and smell good :).
Re: Collinite Fans, need advice
I would go with 845. I am a #915 fan myself.
Re: Collinite Fans, need advice
Well I went ahead and tried both on two sections of the Overland. the 476 is a paste wax and it went on easily. I let it dry to a haze. Then I buffed it out with clean cloths. It wasn't the easiest wax to buff out. It left mild white powder, not a lot. The result was good with some greasy film.
The 845 is a semi liquid and it went on very easily. It dried to a haze quickly and was very easy to remove. Very little residue was left behind. The shine was deep and there was no greasy film.
All in all I liked the 845 better. Although the 476 was pretty good.
You will get more milelage out of the 476. The 845 probably took about 1/6th of a bottle to do the Overland. The tin of 476 was barely dented.
Re: Collinite Fans, need advice
I think you put on way too much/heavy if you used that much 845. As thin as possible is the best for 845.
Re: Collinite Fans, need advice
I noticed that some of the 845 spilled on the driveway. So I did in fact use less. :)
Re: Collinite Fans, need advice
Make sure to heat up the 845 before using it. I usually put the bottle in a cup of warm water until it is a pure liquid. 845 goes a long way very little should be used on a panel.
Re: Collinite Fans, need advice
With the 476 I never let it dry to a haze, I apply one section at a time and wipe off immediately. It can be a real bear to deal with if you let it dry.
Won't find another carnuaba with that kind of durability though...
Re: Collinite Fans, need advice
I have found when I use my Flex 3401(I have heard it is the same with other DA's as well) it goes on more thinly so removing it with a MF bonnet over a firmer pad is much easier.:thumbsup:

AA is running around $850 for theirs
WLA is still having delivery issues
MGS is also from WLA and price is going up along with the delivery issues..
IO's never worked worth a crap unless you rebuilt it like Rocco did, and if you gotta do that you may as well just build it to start with like him, nitegunner, sherman and me have all done.
ive built the WLA version from kits in the early striker fired and AA version in hammer fired and played with a IO hammer fired.....
none of these even come close in function to the Sherman conversion set up.
but Rocco is right: IT AINT CHEAP!! and Shermans health is not real good right now so it takes a while for the turn around.
rest assured this gun is well worth the wait if your gonna shoot it alot. if you are mainly just gonna look at it, it doesnt really matter go cheaper.
mine has a few THOUSAND rounds thru it now and has never FTF,FTE or FTFD in the Sherman set up.

Scrabble Adds Over 3,000 New "Words"
The infamous favorite word game Scrabble is yet again transitioning and changing with the times and modern language. It has announced its addition of over 3,000 new "words" to the official Scrabble dictionary. You might think this is awesome and exciting, but put that eagerness on hold, because the new additions are nothing but a disgrace to the wonderful and complex English language.

Roto Frank to Open Russian Production Facility
Roto Frank AG will open a new 75,000-square-foot production facility in Noginsk, Russia in the spring.
The hardware manufacturer, which is the parent company of Roto Frank of America, reports that the plant is set to employ about 350 workers.
Roto's new hardware manufacturing plant set to open this spring in Russia.
The Russion plant is viewed "as an absolute necessity to be represented in the largest single market of Roto's window and door technology division," company officials note.
"This milestone comes at a time when the worldwide economic environment is less than desirable, but clearly further demonstrates our company's commitment to global success and leadership in the fenestration industry," said Dan Gray, Roto's director of sales and marketing in North America.

That's because you want to avoid a scene like this:Person 1: I am a T-Rex! RAWR!
Person 2: No you're not. The T-Rex is extinct.Person 2 rejected what Person 1 said, and the energy dropped. Instead, if you accept what's being said and build on it, the scene works a lot better: Person 1: I am a T-Rex! RAWR!
Person 2: Yes, and that's an asteroid hurtling toward us!I don't mention this improv tactic to convince you to sign up for improv. I mention it because "yes, and…" isn't just for improv. It's for real life, too. Imagine if I had used it at my old job: Boss: "Is anyone willing to give a presentation at our summer leadership conference?"
Parallel-Universe April: "Yes, I'll give a presentation, and here are three ideas for topics…"
Boss: "My hero! Take the rest of the day off!" *high fives*Had I taken that approach, I would've had many opportunities to practice and improve, gaining skills that would make me more valuable both then and in the future. I could've honed my skills even more by joining the public speaking group Toastmasters, which met right at my office. One of my bosses was a member. I could've been a problem-solver for my boss - someone who enthusiastically took work off her plate. Pretty powerful. But wait, there's more… How to get more confident saying, "yes, and…"
Apfelbaum says he "had butterflies the first dozen times" he gave a presentation. "I was an expert in online marketing, but I was still scared to death," he says. But nowadays he's a speaker, a Google trainer, and the founder of the weekly web series GrowTime.So I wanted to know how he did it. How did he go from a timid "yes" to an enthusiastic "yes, and…"? Mostly, he practiced and practiced. And as he got better, he became more confident. Here are five tips and tricks he learned along the way:
Start with people you know. "Everyone should know what you do," he says, including friends, family members and business contacts. "If you're looking for a job and no one knows what you're good at, they can't recommend you."
Read, read, read. "Books are such a great resource," he says, "and they spark new ideas." So Apfelbaum read everything he could on public speaking, networking and cold calling. (He found books by Zig Ziglar and Brian Tracey particularly helpful.)
Don't take it personally. "When you cold call and get shut down or people ignore you at a networking event, they aren't rejecting you, they're actually rejecting your process," he says. For instance, "at my first networking event, I approached a woman to introduce myself, and she basically ignored me," he says. Later he learned that he could've avoided that awkward moment if he had known what her body language was saying. "She was facing the other way when I approached, and she needed to be facing me for my introduction to go better," he says."If your process is bad, you're going to get rejected a lot."
Study yourself and others. The better you get at networking or speaking, the more confident you'll feel. For instance, when it comes to making presentations, "watch other speakers," says Apfelbaum. And pay attention to your own habits, too. "I realized that I was using the word 'basically' over and over," he says.
Stay in touch. So many times we make a great connection with someone, and then their business card gets lost under the seat of the car. Instead, immediately after you meet someone "connect with them on LinkedIn and send a thank-you email," he says.
"The top sales writers say that if you're out of sight, you're out of mind," says Apfelbaum. "And I put my own twist on that: If you're out of sight, you're out of your mind."
When he puts it like that, I realize that I do need to get out there more, to learn about networking events in my area and make more connections. "Yes, I'll attend that event, and I'll introduce myself to at least three attendees!" Baby steps, people.
How about you? What's one way you can use the "yes, and…" this month to boost your career?

So you're going to buy an iPad? Don't let us dissuade you, but before you take the plunge you should read our guide to one of the most eagerly anticipated products of 2010. In the course of this guide we'll explain how the various versions differ and take a close look at the variety of 3G deals available to you.
Before we do, though, it's worth checking out what we've already written about Apple's fabled device.
This should be your first port of call. Even if you've already decided to buy an iPad, our review gives you the lowdown on all the iPad's pros and cons.
For those you who prefer to lean back than lean in, you can also check out our video review.
15 Essential Features for the iPad 2
You probably don't want to hear this, but there are plenty of things the current iPad doesn't have and do that it ought to. Here we discuss what these could be. Be sure to add your own thoughts once you've had a go.
TrustedReviews Podcast #1: The iPad
For a wider perspective on the iPad and tablets in general be sure to tune in to our inaugural podcast, where the iPad was our sole topic of discussion.
Once you've chewed through that lot, you'll be ready to check out the rest of this guide, which is split up as follows:

Whether you realize it or not, your financial security is more than just how much money you have in savings or if your credit card bills are current. Retirement investments, long-term care insurance, even the equity in your home all play an important part in your overall financial picture.
Personal Finance Tips
- With the recent downfall of the housing market perhaps the idea of selling your home and living off the proceeds when you retire is no longer a possibility. If you still enjoy living there and can afford your mortgage, then don't worry about it and start planning for other retirement options.
- As a healthy active person it's hard to imagine becoming disabled through an accident or due to advancing old age; but it does happen more often than not. Consider taking out a disability or long-term health care insurance policy now while you are still fit and premium rates are low.
- Understand that savings are different than investments. Investments are monies tied up for longer periods of time whose dividends will ebb and flow, while savings can easily be accessed and won't earn as much interest no matter how long the money sits there.
- And Suze's most important personal finance tip is always ask yourself if that upcoming purchase is really a need or do you just want it? She says if you always choose NEED over WANT you will have a very happy and secure financial life.

Our Sam's Club is set up like that. There is an attendant at all times and they do tell people to leave if they go in the wrong way to avoid the line.
Another gas station SS:Our local gas station is set up with quite narrow lanes which I first observed at Costco, and now are popping up all over the place. You are only supposed to enter from one end, and exit on the other. Each gas lane has two pumps - forward and rear, and several HUGE yellow arrows indicating the direction, and which way you turn when you pull forward to "EXIT==>" per the big huge sign and arrow. The single exit lane is a narrow drive which is hard to pass two cars through, and also has another gigantic arrow and "EXIT" on the pavement. I'm pulling up to a "front" pump when some huge minivan comes squealing around the blind side of the pumps to try to go the wrong-way down my gas lane. What had happened was that since no one was using the rear pump in my lane, she had aborted waiting in line for wherever she was, and done a U-turn to pump that much sooner.
I miss full service stations, you rarely see them now. There used to be one went to where they cleaned the windscreen while they filled you up and then gave us kids minties.
I grew up in a state that has all self serve stations so it always takes me a minute when I go up to visit family in NJ to remember I'm not supposed to pump it myself.
She isn't coming in HERSELF you understand.
Quote from: Yarnspinner on February 12, 2014, 04:22:37 PMShe isn't coming in HERSELF you understand.Isn't that nice? Yeah, maybe the mayor and union will finally do something.Of course, if they do no more Stonecold stories!

Last month, Esha Deol was invited to walk the ramp in a fashion show, but she changed her mind and did not appear in the show. But last Saturday, the actress walked the ramp alongwith her dearest hubby Bharat Takhtani. It was the fourth day of Aamby Valley Indian Fashion Week which took place in Santacruz at The Grand Hyatt. The pair walked for the World Gold Council show. But we could not spot any Deols present amongst the audience in the show.
The outfits which were worn by the couple were designed by Anita Dongre. They were the traditional outfits of Jaipur. The concept of the show took inspiration from the seven vows of Hindu wedding, and so Bharat and Esha were the perfect choices.
Walking on the runway is nothing new to Esha, but obviously as this time she walked the ramp along with her huuby, the experience must have been special. Esha says though she has walked the ramp numerous times in the past, walking together with Bharat has been an amazing experience. Whenever she walked the ramp alone, she always feared tripping. But Esha says when she walked with Bharat, the man in her life, she was confident while walking because Bharat would never let her fall.
While the duo walked the ramp, their love was very much visible to the on-lookers. They paused and looked into each other's eyes – that was romantic! Esha added, Bharat was too excited to walk on the ramp, as that was his first time experience. He loves trying out new things in life.
The 30 years old actress got married with Bharat Takhtani on 29th of June this year. Bharat is a businessman. Even though she is a married lady now, Esha has still an eye on her career in Bollywood. She is presently working in "Ghost Ghost Na Raha" and an upcoming film by Yash Raj Banner.
She debuted in Bollywood in 2002 with the movie "Koi Mere Dil Se Poochhe". Besides acting, she is also a trained Bharatnatyam and Odissi dancer. She is still remembered for her roles in films "Yuva", "Dhoom", "Kaal" and "No Entry".

|Return/Replacement policy:
Excellent service.
"Excellent service, very fast delivery, reasonable prices.
I ordered the wrong part initially, Becky in customer service helped sort out my order, facilitated the return of the original part and reordered the correct part. No hassles, very courteous! "
"I entered the model number of my Whirlpool oven on this website where requested and I selected the control panel and touchpad assembly from the list of parts offered and was assured that it "Works with your Model!" It clearly stated the model number of my oven in the part description as well as the OEM part number that corresponded to the one in my oven manual.
I received the part in a few days and I was very pleased at the quick response. I installed it and it worked briefly before I discovered I also needed a microcomputer. I ordered that from this company as well but after waiting for more than 3 weeks I called and discovered it wasn't available and had to wait several days for a refund. Strike one.
I ordered the microcomputer from another site, installed it and discovered that the touchpad I ordered from EasyApplianceParts was faulty. I contacted customer service only to be told that I ordered the wrong part. There was no way this was the wrong part and if by some slim chance it was the wrong part, it was their fault and not mine. An extremely rude customer service representative kept insisting that I was in the wrong. Strike two. She said that she would "try to get me a refund even though she didn't have to". Strike three.
There is something seriously wrong with this company and I will never order from them again. If I could give them a negative 10 I would. Their "No Hassle Returns - Money Back Guarantee" is a joke as is their "customer service". Stay away from these hucksters."
Best Source!
"Best price of about 10 sources I checked. Easy to use web site. Fast shipping. quality product. plug and play fit. on my short list for future reference. reasonable shipping cost."
Excellent Customer Service & Fast Shipping!
"On 1/10/16 I bought a Whirlpool 5 burner gas stove off Craigslist & the exterior door glass shattered on the way home so I searched for the part online. The average price for the glass was between $139 - $175 plus shipping, I needed the glass for a white stove & the only site that had that color in stock was of course $175; all the other sites only had black in stock & didn't have any information when the white would be available.
By chance I found Easyapplianceparts.com & they not only had the exterior door glass in white it was only $80.52 plus $7.49 for shipping! I thought this has to be too good to be true & was skeptical so I read the reviews on this site & other sites & felt that some of the negative reviews were from the type of people that are never pleased no matter what, so on 1/12/16 I took a chance & ordered my part. I added my order confirmation page to my favorites so I could track my order & here's why I'm writing a review (something I rarely do), and why Easyapplianceparts.com gets 5 stars from me:
1/12/16 - package shipped from Ohio
1/16/16 - package arrived in Rocklin, CA - Northern California about 20 miles from my home! I think that's pretty fast shipping!
1/17/16 - package was damaged in transit UPS notified sender & merchandise was discarded.
1/18/16 - I received an email from Easyapplianceparts.com telling me about the damage.
1/20/16 - I called Easyapplianceparts.com Customer Service at 7:30 pm (they're lines are open until 1:00am EST!), I would have called sooner but I hadn't tracked my part or checked my email for a few days. I believe Customer Service to be an important part of any company & the quality of this integral function is invaluable in return business. Julie, the representative, was very friendly & extremely helpful; she canceled my order & credited my account for the damaged part & reordered the part with a note stating the damage to the first shipment & requesting additional packaging. She was even patient enough to wait while I put my boots on (lots of rain here YAY!), so I could go out to my truck & get my wallet! The new order shipped 1/21/16 & yesterday on 1/22/16, at 2:25 pm my part arrived intact - that's only 24 hours!
Easyapplianceparts.com not only let my Craigslist bargain remain a bargain but they also turned what could have been a nightmare (according to some of the reviews), into a dream experience. They've got my recommendation & my business in the future! Thanks Easyapplianceparts.com!
Northern California "
"Ordered 4 parts that were "in stock" came in 3 separate shipments. 2 parts came within 3 days, 1 part 4 days and the last part still don't have although tracking says will be here in 4 days. Total ship time for final part will be 2 weeks. Unfortunately I need all parts together to fix the refrigerator so 2 weeks is too long to wait for parts. Prices were good."
"Ordered a tub buffer spring for my GE washer. Super fast shipping. Received an OEM part for the lowest price I could find on the internet. Good communication from seller. I knew when they received the order, when it shipped, and when to expect delivery."
"Fantasic Service. Called and ordered both dishwasher racks on Monday at noon.....they were both at my door Tuesday at 1PM !!!!!!! Fit perfect. The price, even with shipping was near half of what a local appliance dealer wanted ."
"I ordered a belt for my washing machine after receiving an email that it was shipped it did not have a shipping number so I called and asked if they had a shipping number for me. They said they would get back with me, 24 hours later still haven't heard from them so called back, was told again that they would figure it out and get back with me. Another 24 hours still no word so called again (3rd time) and was told they would refund money because of mistake when shipped. They didn't even give an option to just ship parts out. Found my part locally, little bit more money but have it in hand and don't have to waste my time calling to find out where it is. Will never order from Easy Appliance Parts again."
"Hahahahaha!!! They folded my part in half to fit it in the box they shipped me. I have a funny picture to share. LOL"
"INCOMPETENT!!! I was promised a shipment that never came. I had to follow up with the company to find out that they sold the part to someone else and it would be over a week before they would be able to ship anything out. Would have been nice to know! WIth guests coming from overseas, these fools have ruined our ability to cook! Best part is that they intend to ship the part out when I am on my honeymoon! DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY, THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE DOING!!!!! "
"Best service ever!
We needed a Maytag refrigerator part, did a search and found easyapplianceparts.com on Wednesday, phoned them, spoke to a rep named JP who was very polite and extremely helpful. Remarkably the part is here today (Thursday). This was with regular shipping too, glad that we did not pay extra for that next day shipping! "
"My GE oven needed a new Bake Unit Element, and after checking many other sites, I could not believe how much cheaper it was from EAP!
1. Easy to find on their website (and I am a novice at appliance parts!).
2. Less than half what everyone else was charging - including shipping.
3. Part was exactly what I needed - and better quality than the one I had replaced before.
4. Shipping was very fast - also cheaper than all others.
5. Packaging could not have been more secure.
Will always check EAP first before any other site because I choose satisfaction over frustration. Will recommend to all my friends!"
"Ordered a part, installed it but that part was not what the problem was, so we sent it back. They will not return the money and are keeping the part."
"Poor customer service. Just received a part for my refrigerator. Took 3 weeks and it came broken. I was told by customer service that I would have to reorder the part and pay for it again. Then I would be able to get a refund on my old part in 3 to 5 business days. This would hardly constitute a "no-hassle return" policy. Was then told a supervisor would contact me. They never did. Poor way of doing business."
"Outstanding delivery (next day for me) and lowest price on web...correct parts....what else is there to say."

Cause the multiplayer PC gaming scene sucks right now, I've talked to gamers @ my university and their all playing either League or DOTA 2 and the only reason is "nothing better to play" which sadly is true. I started playing League 2 years ago because of how sh** multiplayer PC gaming has gotten and still haven't found any decent mmorpg or mmofps. I think once Blackgold, Swordsman Online, and Archeage come out these forums will get a lot more active.
finals, yo
Yes, outside for me
Dark Souls 2, Hearthstone, work and overall fact that MMORPG gaming is becoming a thing of the past.
Of course, the usual business like people not caring or interested in the topic or cba to post at all even if they could.
I mean yo momma :sexy:

[My Anime List] | [last.fm] | [xfire] | [Steam]
I should update this but all my effort went into writing this lousy excuse.
That sounds fantastic dude. I like to think I'd enjoy swimming with dolphins, but I'd probably be scared as hell to be honest. I've gots a fear of large things in water near me.
And also, Hank Hill had a pretty bad experience.
I'd definitely do it. But I'd be nervous haha. Was it weird being with something that large in the water so close to you?
I never thought to be nervous or scared, it was pretty fun and exciting at the time and the trainer was basically treating them as pets so that was how our mindset was as well.
I was the last in line so by my turn they were a little bored with the routine and took a few tries before they would do it right with me, they kept swimming on the wrong side of me or doing the wrong thing. The trainer would have me cross my arms in the water over my chest which was the signal for them to do nothing and return to her, then I would hold my arms in the command position for what they were supposed to do and they would come again, was actually kind of cool they were messing up because I got to spend more time with them, and they would brush against my side swimming by etc....
Play hard. Play smart. Win.

text: HOUSTON, July 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation (NYSE: COG) announced today that current equivalent production for July is greater than the second quarter level with recent wells turned in line. "As reported, our volume increase, particularly in the Marcellus, would happen periodically as gathering lines are placed in service," said Dan O. Dinges, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Though this dynamic will continue for the remainder of this year, the overarching theme is the continued production growth we see in the plays as detailed below." Marcellus During the quarter, Cabot turned-in-line eight wells with the majority of this activity occurring in June. Of note is a two-well pad which has been online for 39 days, with each well producing more than 1 billion cubic feet (Bcf) since first production. "Based on this preliminary data, these wells have the potential for significant estimated ultimate recoveries (EURs)," commented Dinges. "Additionally, we have turned-in-line ten wells so far in July, three of which exceeded 20 million cubic feet (Mmcf) per day initial production rates." Cabot has been monitoring its recent pilot program to evaluate the productivity of the upper Marcellus, along with the downspacing of the lower Marcellus. "Since commencing in mid-April, with initial production rates of 8 Mmcf per day from the upper Marcellus and 16 Mmcf per day from the lower Marcellus, we have been plotting the decline characteristics," stated Dinges. "Based on our modeling, both of these wells are expected to exceed our EUR expectations that were 7.5 and 11 Bcf, respectively." Marmaton Since the end of the first quarter, Cabot's net equivalent production in the Marmaton has increased 45 percent. "Driving this growth has been our continued success in the play," said Dinges. "Our last five operated wells have delivered initial production rates from 650 to 2,000 barrels of oil per day (Bopd). One well has averaged 1,320 Bopd and 1.5 Mmcf per day for the last thirty days. With these completed wells costing between $2.9 to $3.4 million on average, we are generating a very good return on our investment." Eagle Ford In the last release, Cabot highlighted the very early results of its 400' downspacing program in the Eagle Ford. "I am pleased to report now that one of these wells has provided the best 30-day average production rate of any of our 33 wells to date in the play," commented Dinges. "The other well has trended above the average 30-day rate of our overall program. This reinforces our reduced spacing concept of 400' and, as a result, we are currently drilling our second set of wells to continue our evaluation process." Other Activity Cabot's initial Utica test in Northwest Pennsylvania, operated by Range Resources, is drilling ahead at this time; the Company's initial Pearsall well in the Buckhorn area is also drilling ahead, with a second rig commencing in the Pearsall in August. In regard to the Brown Dense, Cabot will continue to watch for industry data points prior to allocating additional capital to the play. Dinges summarized, "Our well results, combined with the recent strategic joint venture, has added momentum for 2012 and sets us up for continued growth in 2013. While production increases throughout the year will be somewhat dependent on the timing of our gathering line connections in the Marcellus, by year-end we will report an increase in reserves, strong production growth and lower costs."
