Steps for drawing portraits
Hello, I'm a beginner and I'm looking for some tricks or advices to draw portraits.
I found this (don't remember where):
And I was hoping there was a tutorial or something related to this.
Here are some examples of what I've done so far portraying:
Too much use of the smudging tool I think, I don't like that, but I didn't knew (neither now) how to mix colors other way. Here's the reference:
This was very rough I know. I mean, this was only a quick sketch for trying to see if I can place things correctly with a more difficult reference:
The reference:
Oh and one more thing, long ago I used to visit this site and in that time I found something for complete beginners that it was like a bunch of assignments you had to do in order to develop some skills, I remember I saw something about perspective and there was an assignment of "drawing a self-portrait so you'll see in the future how much you've improved" can somebody tell me where's that topic?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

make a study of these 3 portrait and you will improve your skill a lot.
Then, you can see this sculpture is made of planes. You can try to identify these planes on real photos.
Use a brush without opacity variations, and paint with solids colors.

Something else I wanted to say is that when you're working from reference, try to step back and think of the image as a collection of shapes. Analyze angles in the source material and compare those objectively to those in your drawing. Also use plumb lines, which are basically imaginary vertical and horizontal grid lines over the image that you use to make sure various elements are lined up correctly.
These are some pages from a workbook I have. They talk specifically about working from life (hence they compare everything with their pencils), but the concept is the same.
I hope you don't mind, but I took your first drawing from reference and compared it with your source image. The green lines show a simplified outline of the subject's face using only straight lines that can be more easily copied and compared. The blue lines are vertical plumb lines to compared landmarks in both image. Note in particular the leftmost vertical line in each image, which is lined up with the model's chin, but goes through the nose and eye much differently in each image.

Hello there, I just wanted to add a small thing as an amateur with terrible portrait skills: use a mirror or real people instead of a photograph to practice.
The entire "sighting" or measuring exercise goes out of the window once you copy I photograph because it is flat, doesn't move and you can quickly measure using the edges of the photo.
It is tempting I know but I realized after a few weeks of photo-copying that I got much better at copying but as soon as I drew from the mirror it was all Picasso again. I have found watching videos on YouTube most inspiring, especially when you see that "even" seasoned professionals carefully measure and the first steps always take the longest. Search for "portrait demo" for example.

Sometimes after working for a really long time, you start to become blind to your own mistakes and cannot see them anymore. Here is a good trick to get a new perspective.
- If working digitaly, flip the canvas horizontally and you can get a fresh look at thins from another angle OR
- If working traditionally with pen and paper, then turn your back to the drawing and use a mirror to look at the drawing.
This makes it easier to take a fresh look and see the problems more clearly.

The Americans for the Arts Emerging Leader Network works to identify and cultivate the next generation of arts leaders in America. It is an ideal way for new leaders to share their interests with others as they continue to develop their skills and their commitment to the arts. The Emerging Leader Network targets professionals who are either new to the field, with up to five years of experience, or are 35 years of age or younger. Visit AmericansForTheArts.org for more information on the Emerging Leader Network.
Offline at AFTACON
Americans for the Arts Annual Convention (AFTACON) regularly draws thousands of members of the arts world to one location for a whirlwind four days of workshops, recognition, plenaries, and arts excursions in some of the most incredible and dynamic cities in the country. There is never enough time to attend all the sessions I'm interested in. They all offer an insight into how art influences our economy, education, and communities – and how we visualize and interpret our world.
But, just as important as attending these sessions are the conversations, connections, and friendships that are built offline and in-between "official" conference business. Read the rest of this entry »
So, What Do You Do?
Editor's Note: Ashley McDonald, Membership Associate at Americans for the Arts, interviewed our member Felicia Shaw about her work in the arts field. At the time of this interview Felicia was in the process of transitioning from her role as interim executive director of Young Audiences of San Diego to her new role as executive director of the Regional Arts Commission (RAC) in her hometown of St. Louis, MO.
AM: Can you describe your role at St. Louis Regional Arts Commission (RAC)?
FS: My job at RAC will be to assume the leadership role of a local arts agency that has had an impressive 30-year history of growing the arts and culture community throughout the St. Louis region. I'll be working to preserve the vitality of a successful organization that is ready to grow to the next level, particularly at a time when St. Louis is turning the corner and looking to the future. I am charged with establishing a vision for RAC and strategically moving the organization forward in a new and impactful way for the next decade and beyond. Read the rest of this entry »
Some Expressions about the Arts and Creative Expression
I was thrilled to sit in on the "Vocabulary for Arts and Arts Education" session at Americans for the Arts' Annual Convention this year.

Justice in Education
Across the country, communities are calling for justice in education. High stakes testing, disproportionate discipline by race, and the mass closing of public schools in certain regions profoundly impact the lives of young people. In an environment where education reform, vouchers, charter schools, and increased accountability dominate the landscape, what does it mean to impact the very heart and bureaucratic structure of public school districts and build trust, equity, and meaningful change?

Closing the "20 Arts Administration Revolutions" Blog Salon
Last week, we heard several leaders call for and outline new directions for the arts field – the directions may be viewed as revolutions or simply a guided evolution from the current status quo. Nevertheless the ideas presented offer a vision for the field where diversity, authentic engagement, funding parity, branding, audience data, play, blurred divisions, and catalytic professional networks, among other things, give arts administrators a greater understanding of a communities' needs, wants, and aspirations in order to ensure we are serving as well as leading all segments of our community with and through the arts.

Let's Revolt! Changing How the Arts View Value and Engagement
Let's talk about starting a revolution. For rising arts leaders, we have a unique time period when our voices are not only valuable and needed as employees, but also make up a desired audience. Many of our institutions want to engage the young professionals and, hey, that's us! The world is changing and our organizations are trying, desperately, to catch up. The idea of "audience engagement" seems to be subjective but constantly discussed in our industry as a must-have. But what would be the best way to bridge our work with our peers?

The Potential in Accountability: The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra introduces a new audience to classical music
Looking around during performances at the Atlanta Symphony Hall, it is clear the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra (ASO) struggles with a lack of diversity on stage and in their audience. The problems facing the 70-year old symphony are not unique. In fact, symphonies nationwide are tackling the issue of diversity with Blacks and Latinos making up less than 4% of national symphony musicians. The New York Philharmonic hired its first African-American principal musician in 2013 and The Chicago Symphony Orchestra has only one Black member who was hired more than a decade ago.

Mission Creep
In Boston, a nonprofit organization called the Theatre Offensive came to the conclusion that the work they were doing – the work that their mission mandated – was stale. When the company was founded, it was a challenge to find live performances that addressed LGBT issues and contained LGBT characters. TTO strove to make that comment widely available in Boston. Now that theatre addressing sexual orientation and gender identity has become common in Boston proper, TTO's adherence to its mission – to make queer-themed plays accessible – suddenly feels out of touch with the energy behind its founding.

Celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act: Museums and Accessibility
On July 26, 1990 the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law by President George H.W. Bush. I was five years old and the child of a father who was hard-of-hearing. I knew that my dad wore hearing aids, but I never really thought about it. My dad was my dad. Like most five year olds, a law as significant as the ADA was lost on me. But I needed to know why there were captions on the TV that obstructed my cartoons! I was curious why these words were on the screen. This was the beginning of my curiosity that led me on the path to become not only a disability advocate, but a museum educator. I remember when "the black box" (closed captioning box) arrived at our house. Our neighbors had a deaf son and they wanted to share this new and innovative technology with us. It's hard to imagine that something like this was cutting edge! Especially 25 years later when I'm working with telepresence robots! Read the rest of this entry »
The Arts in Memphis: Transforming Communities, Defining Brands
When we think of sectors of society that help to solve the challenges of underserved communities, some of the first that come to mind are education, healthcare, and job training. The Arts? Not so much. But the Arts can improve quality of life, transform the human condition, and amplify a voice for a community or neighborhood. When asked about the word "brand," arts groups think of design, color, websites, and logos. Rarely do we think of social change and brand in the Arts. Something is happening in Memphis that is about to change the way we think about the brand of the Arts in our communities.
Below is a conversation between Linda Steele, Chief Engagement and Outreach Officer at ArtsMemphis, and Chris McLeod, an Arts Marketing and Branding expert and member of the ArtsMemphis National Community Engagement Advisory Council, about the arts re-branding revolution that is occurring in Memphis.

Artists As Arts Administrators: Encouraging Blurred Divisions of Labor
I'm a freelance artist who earns a living illustrating stories and adjunct teaching for an undergraduate arts management program. I recently served on a panel called "Putting Artists First: Arts Incubators and Other Support Structures" as Founder of the Artistic Rebuttal Project, where two other arts administrators and I talked about facilitating artist support. A discussion about why the panel was called "Putting Artists First" as opposed to putting the process of art-making/facilitating first arose—both arts and the administering of them rely on the other to make an impact. While in my personal life, I consider an artist any person who creates something tangible or audible, I'm defining "artist" for this post as anyone who aspires to earn a living with the work they create. The consensus in the room was that artists should be trained in administration if they have any aspirations in earning a living as an artist. But we soon confronted a different inquiry…we don't ask arts administrators to become artists, why do we ask artists to administer? Read the rest of this entry »
Arts, Culture, and Community Development
Using the arts and culture to shape, build, and identify communities is not a novel concept; however, its place in the realm of community development is gaining more traction and credibility by community development practitioners, funders, policy makers, and community stakeholders themselves. The process of integrating art into community development is rewarding but arduous, particularly for emerging leaders such as myself. It often feels as if you have to "prove" yourself in, understand, and speak the language of two very different fields.
But the first question is almost always why? Why should art be integrated into community development? Read the rest of this entry »
St(Art) Up Entrepreneurship
Over the past several years in Atlanta, the startup entrepreneurial community has grown as many aspiring moguls have put their creative and technical capital to work to secure funds and buzz around their latest digital products. This energy has been fueled by Atlanta's unique characteristics has a hub for transportation, education, and culture, not to mention the comfortable climate and affordable cost of living.
Similarly, there's been tremendous growth in emerging Arts organizations that have begun to impact how Atlanta's citizens view the role of art in their daily lives–everything from appreciating "art for the sake of art" to realizing how the arts serve as a platform to address other aspects of society (e.g. Transportation, Politics, Sports, etc.). Again, the same characteristics of education, culture, and comfort have played a role in attracting art talent to the city in a similar fashion to the entrepreneurship community.

Chad Plunket on CASP and making an impact with Working Artist Studios
Lubbock, Texas has a metropolitan area of about 300,000. Lubbock is also about a six-hour drive in any direction from the next major city. The isolation of Lubbock could be considered a disadvantage – limiting collaboration, diversity, and ideas. Graduates from the local university often leave the city seeking jobs and more money in bigger markets.
However, the isolation may also be one of Lubbock's greatest assets. Lubbock has a mentality of – "if we want it, we are going to have to build it – ourselves."
The Charles Adams Studio Project (CASP) embodies that sentiment. CASP wants some things, and they are building them.
The following is an interview with CASP project manager, Chad Plunket. Read the rest of this entry »
Beyond the Stage: Preparing Conservatory Musicians for 21st Century Careers
Five years ago, the Colburn School asked a fundamental question: How do we prepare conservatory students for careers in the 21st century? There were many suggestions put forward, but one idea kept rising to the top. Professional musicians entering the work field, the group agreed, must also be great teachers.
"Regardless of career path, musicians of the 21st century will always teach," said Colburn Conservatory of Music Dean Richard Beene. "It is our responsibility to prepare students at the conservatory for a variety of careers in classical music, and teaching is a skill we hope all of our students acquire during their time at the Colburn School."

Our Very Own Plants For Sale throughout Hampshire, Surrey and the UK!
25th January 2012
Something that I thought was worth mentioning was that for the past few weeks we have opened our virtual doors to our very own plant selling service. Already we have started to see a great response from our existing garden maintenance and garden design clients throughout Hampshire, Surrey and the rest of the South East but as our online presence grows so do our daily orders! We have grown some from seeds, some from cuttings such as Geraniums, roses, choisya, verbenas and we buy some of the more mature shrubs like yews and box balls at wholesale prices from our friends in Italy, Holland and even from just down the road from our trade nursery in Milland!
Our plants are all sold at their very healthiest and we double check everything that leaves the premises. We are very passionate about the conditions our plants leave the yard so if there are any problems you might have with yours after delivery we offer a money back guarantee within a week if you're unhappy in any way.
To help you to choose the right plant for the right situation we have even written a book for this very reason titled '50 Popular Plants Used in Garden Design'. If you can't find what you're looking for we're always happy to make a few suggestions, so please use our contact form if you have any questions, we love to hear from you!
If you are interested in the free ebook and newsletter just head on over to our homepage at Ben Lannoy Home and fill in your name and email. You won't receive any sales letters and we respect your privacy so will never hand over your email to anyone, we just want to provide good content on plants, gardening and much more!

Ms. Hammond completed her undergraduate work at Coe College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa in 1987, with a major in French and a minor in Psychology. She earned her Juris Doctorate from the University of Denver College of Law in 1993, with a concentration in estate planning, tax, and mediation.
Ms. Hammond is proud to be a Colorado native. Outside the office, she enjoys a wide variety of activities, including hiking, traveling, reading, and spending time with her young adult daughters and/or her three dogs. She is an active member of her church, and has a special interest in planned charitable giving.

I have a serious side when I need to but I enjoy cutting up and having a good time. On the serious side I'm a mother of two wonderful boys that are my world and are my number one in my life. I'm a very family oriented person. I love spending time with family and friends. I'm sassy but not prissy, I'm a country girl who likes to fish, hunt, and play hard but I like to clean up nice and have a night on the town too. I love anything to do with the outdoors, but I'm happy staying in with a great movie cuddled up on the sofa. But I love to catch a nice breeze on the front porch watching the sunset. Sitting around a campfire with a cold beer is an another one of my favorite things! I guess you could say I am a simple girl.... the small things in life mean the most to me. Things like a beautiful sunrise or sunset, the sound of rain hitting a tin roof, picked flowers over bought ones, a hand written letter instead of a card. And I a phone call over a text. lol... I'm looking for someone who has the same type of sense of humor as me. Who enjoys the outdoors as well. Who has the same family values as I do and believes that family is the most important thing. A strong man that knows what he wants and knows how to get it. Needs to be confident and sure of himself...One that knows how to lead but is not afraid to follow. Someone who understands that talking and communicating is very important. Someone that will be there for me just the way I will be for them.. I am a very honest and loyal and will not accept anything less. I am an opened book just looking for that special someone to help finish it....... What to know more..Just ask! =)

Cuisine - East Indian
Raitas, or raytas, are India's version of a salsa or salad that are served as cooling counterpoints to hot and spicy Indian foods. They are yogurt based and contain vegetables that are either raw or cooked, and low fat or whole yogurt. If using whole fat yogurt thin with a little water to produce a smooth texture. Because of the coolness of the yogurt, they are served during hot weather only. Serve with crudities or pieces of Indian bread called naan as an exotic appetizer.
Chef Sundeep Bhagat from Lucknow, La Porte's specialist in vegetarian cuisine, created this marvelous recipe for chile lovers that combines the fresh pods with coconuts and other nuts.
The Moghlai dishes, popular across India, but particularly in Delhi and the neighboring Uttar Pradesh, owe their ancestry to sixteenth and seventeenth century Moghul rulers, Akbar and Shehjehan, who were connoisseurs of music, literature, architecture, and food. Unlike their immediate ancestors, who invaded India, and who were too busy consolidating their empire to pay much attention to cuisine, Akbar and Shehjehan recruited the best chefs in northern India, and encouraged them to create dishes that carried the influence of the ingredients of central Asia and India. Note: This recipe requires advance preparation.
This rich, spicy-sweet chicken dish from northwestern India has distinct Moghul influences. "Dilruba" means "sweetheart." The Moghuls controlled most of India from 1526 until 1839, leaving behind some of India's most famous architecture, including the Taj Mahal. The Moghul emperors loved to eat, and twenty-course meals were common in the royal courts. Not surprisingly, Moghul rule had a greater influence on Punjabi cuisine that that of any other conqueror.
My youngest daughter recently visited Tibet and Nepal. She came back with this recipe that I've modified a bit. Traditionally, Sukuti is prepared with a dried meat, almost like a jerky. This recipe could also be prepared with beef or buffalo although beef is never eaten in Nepal. This recipe requires advanced preparation to allow the meat to marinate.
This recipe and others can be found in the 12-part illustrated series "A World of Curries". You can read all about this unique Indian flavor here.
These are some of the easiest Indian snacks to make. You can use any vegetable you like, but we recommend the softer vegetables such as peppers, eggplant, onions, and thinly sliced potatoes.
This recipe, along with other sizzling holiday snacks, can be found in the article
This roast chicken recipe with pizzazz is practically a meal in one.

Pass a note
I've never posted in this group before, but I do lurk from time to time and like the straightforward and honest answers I see from you all. Here is my current problem:
My BIL and SIL recently moved 12 hours from their hometown to the city my husband and I live in. We have a full basement that has plenty of room, so we decided to let them stay with us rent-free while they tried to figure out their housing situation. They own a house in their old city that they are currently trying to sell and they can't apply for a mortgage loan until BIL has been employed 30 days in our state. We aren't hurting for money so we felt comfortable helping them out financially while they tried to sell their house and get SIL a job (BIL got a job here, that's the reason they moved).
We found out tonight that they have been letting a friend stay at their old house and he is paying their full mortgage price ($950/month plus utilities). After hearing this I am feeling horribly taken advantage of, as they are now pocketing the mortgage money and are not paying a dime to stay with us. SIL has also decided that she doesn't really feel like getting a job and she literally sits around all day watching tv. The only things they pay for are their own food and toiletries.
My husband and I are planning on talking about this with them, but we can't agree on when we should. I want to immediately but my husband wants to give them a month and see if their house sells (they've been living here for almost 4 weeks now). I feel like the four weeks they've had is more than enough time, especially considering they are no longer paying a mortgage.
We have a 12 month old and another baby due in July and they know very well that at the beginning of May we will be moving our office to the basement and it will no longer be their apartment if (God forbid) they are still here. They seem to be getting very comfortable with their living situation and are enjoying the fact they don't have many bills this way. When we first agreed to let them live here, I told my husband they were getting off way too easy and would probably end up trying to take advantage of us to make a quick buck. I wish I was wrong, but it is looking like I was right on the money. They are nice people but have always been a little money-hungry and stingy.
I'd like to approach this as tactfully as possible, as we want to keep a good relationship with them, but I am in no way going to allow them to walk all over us. Any suggestions on how to broach the topic?

I would bring it up over dinner convo. I would let them know that with the baby and having to move the office and do a baby room that they need to be out by April 1st. This gives them 2 months to find a place to rent and SIL a job if needed. How do they keep your house? IF the place is a mess tell them it has to be clean. Start to make things a little more less homey and they will want to leave! If you bring it casually and just as a I thought you should know that we need the space by April 1st it should hopefully go over smoothly. IF they try to argue it or ask why just say it is what you both want. No JADING! You are helping them they have NO right to a reason or explanation!
Ask no questions, hear no lies! ~ I love that movie!!
To broach the subject: just ask if they have looked at any houses in the area. What neighborhood are you thinking? Mention that they might get a deal now because generally the housing market sucks in winter, especially if you are in Husker land ;)

I guess I wouldn't be annoyed about their old house situation if we hadn't specifically told them we would let them live here rent-free because they already had a mortgage payment to deal with. We've definitely been helping them along with the house search (and in three days they will be able to apply for a home loan here). There are most certainly good deals on houses currently in Husker land!
They are fairly tidy for the most part in the upstairs, so thankfully we don't have much to complain about there. The basement is horribly dirty and smells like dog (they have 3) but if they want to live in that filth, that's up to them.
We are going to start making it less homey for them and have SIL help out much more than she is (it was part of the stipulations we gave them but my husband and I are so used to doing everything ourselves we haven't noticed how they have been lacking on their end of the bargain until very recently). I like the idea of giving them a set timeline to be out, I think that will give them the kick they need to start getting serious about renting or buying their own place.
Thanks for the comments.

Start asking how house hunting is going. All. The. Time. And let them know when you need/want your space back to redecorate or fart in, doesn't matter. Just give them a move out date X number of days before you need to send them an eviction notice. (Since they are not paying anything it shouldn't be an issue, but check your state laws.)
It's great that they were able to get someone to pay their mortgage, but that doesn't mean they suddenly owe you rent. Approach them soon with the move out date so no one is caught off guard and expectations are clear.
If they cannot close on a house by the move out date they can rent from someone else, it is not on you, so don't let that be an excuse from them or your DH. Start laying the ground work now to get your house back!

Sorry, I think I came off wrong when describing the fact they are no longer taking care of their mortgage. I am not expecting any money from them but do think they now have the ability to get a move on with buying or renting (which they still say they don't want to do until their house sells).
I was just annoyed at the fact we agreed to rent-free BECAUSE they had a mortgage (that they are no longer paying). I don't want or need money from them, it was just the way the situation came about that irked me. Now that they have that $950 plus utility costs free, it should be much easier for them to find somewhere else to live... but they seem reluctant.

When you agreed to this arrangement, did you ask if the old house was going to remain empty, or did you just assume? Was this set up conditional on you feeling like you were doing some huge altruistic act of charity?
You agreed to the arrangement. You didn't ask for an income sheet.
That rent money they're receiving is probably going toward the mortgage and utilities - it's not as if they're spending it all on booze, right?
In the meantime, you can sit down and confirm their move out date. That's the only thing you can control at this point.

I can see where OP is coming from. They offered rent free because they thought BIL/SIL were paying for their old house mortage and in the meantime SIL was suppose to be looking for a job while BIL is working
Since then they find out that they are not financially strapped and SIL now sits in the basement all day.
Circumstances change, I suggest you remind them that they have to be out after the 30 days have passed and then wave them off with a smile
I love how God always tells these people exactly what they want to hear. He never says, "Stop being an asshole!". BaileyO

Scripting languages
ActionScript is an object-oriented programming (OOP) language that is designed specifically for Web site animation. Originally released with Macromedia Flash 4 and enhanced for Flash 5, ActionScript is a sophisticated version of the script language introduced in Flash 3. ActionScript makes it possible for developers to create onscreen environments (such as games, tutorials, and e-commerce applications) that can respond to user input through the keyboard or mouse. ActionScript is an event-based language: just as is the case in real life, actions are triggered by events.

"When I was young people called me a gambler. As the scale of my operations increased I became known as a speculator. Now I am called a banker. But I have been doing the same thing all the time" – Sir Ernest Cassell, Banker to Edward VII
"Equity is the sliver of hope between assets & liabilities" Russel Napier
Yukon Nevada Gold (YNG) is a substantial holding in my portfolio currently and has been the cause of much heartache and distress to its shareholders over the last couple of years. I think I'm risking 5% of my portfolio for an asset backed shot at spectacular returns. My write up here is heavily influenced by various other far superior write ups and research reports I have found dotted around the internet from the last 2 years and listed at the bottom. I am standing on their shoulders to write this report. The story is changing constantly so I imagine this will be out of date by the 30th of January.
Yukon-Nevada is a deeply under-valued US-based small-cap gold miner with operations in Nevada, USA and British Columbia, Canada. I believe YNG is approaching an inflection point where it may begin to realise something approaching its "true value". I will try to convince you below that there is the strong possibility that YNG is not worth $224m at today's price of $0.24 per share but instead is almost certainly worth $1.00, is probably worth $2.50 and could even be worth $7.00+. If you can't handle 7% daily swings in the share price – Stop Here.
In its current form Yukon Nevada Gold was created via a merger in May 2007, between Yukon Gold Corp and Queenstake Resources Ltd. As a result of the combination of the businesses and assets of the two companies, Queenstake became a wholly-owned subsidiary of YGC, and YGC changed its name to the current Yukon-Nevada Gold Corp.
YNG is in the later phases of a turnaround and thanks to an arduous 2011 is now a substantially de-risked (but certainly not without risk!) proposition. By 2013, the company is planning to produce at a run rate of 300,000 ounces of gold per year. This is a long way from the current run rate of circa 80,000 ounces per annum. The production rate of 300,000 ounces of gold per year was achieved before, from 1987 to 2002. In its last full year of production under AngloGold, it produced 338,000 ozs of gold. There is no reason why they cannot achieve it again with its newly renovated roaster and 3.5 million ounces of gold in the ground.
What makes YNG different to other smaller gold miners is that its assets have a history of production and secondly that it has in its possession one of only three refractory mills in the state of Nevada. Not only does Yukon Nevada have the prospect of having three of its own mines in operation on its Jerritt Canyon site by 2014, but its key asset is the only refining mill with any spare capacity in the state of Nevada.
YNG is in the process of proving they have around 6m ounces of Gold in the ground currently according to a recent interview with the CEO.
Above Average Odds Investing said that at $0.25 "YNG is also trading at a market cap per resource oz of gold of approximately $35 per oz compared to a peer average of $150-200 per oz (peer group comprised of Alamos Gold, Aurizon Mines, Centamin Egypt, Kingsgate, Kirkland Lake, Mineral Deposits, Capital Gold and Semafo)
If YNG were re-valued to simply trade on a market cap/resource oz in-line with its peer group, YNG would currently be valued at $1.25-1.50/share.
Note that YNG has historically converted resources into reserves at a 120% rate."
Since this time YNG has made several additional discoveries adding to their resources. That is a big discount.
At first, newly merged company seemed successful because during the first two quarters (Q3 and Q4 2007) the company was producing gold profitably. Then, by Q1 2008, problems started to emerge. During this quarter, the company shut down its operations in Jerritt Canyon to address myriad infrastructure, environmental (dangerous mercury emissions), cash flow and safety concerns. It was an unmitigated disaster. As just one example of prior management's incompetence, the Jerritt Canyon property at the time of shut-down was operating with over 500 employees while current management is running nearly the same throughput was fewer than 150 employees.
The situation became so severe that the company was 24 hours away from declaring Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The stock price went from $2 per share to 2 cents causing investors to lose almost their entire capital. Anytime a stock price falls almost 100 percent like it did with Yukon-Nevada due to the fear of declaring Chapter 11 bankruptcy, it creates emotional scars investors. YNG has done the round trip from $2.70 in Dec 2006, to $0.02 at the end of 2008, to $0.95 at the end of 2010 and now to $0.24 at the start of 2012. Face Smelting Volatility!
In early 2009, a European shareholder group called Orifer saved YNG from declaring bankruptcy by injecting an emergency overnight financing. Over the next several months, this same Swiss Group along with Eric Sprott of Sprott Asset Management put nearly $60 million into YNG, fired the old management team who lost the permits and the engineering firm that was assisting with operations and brought in a new CEO named Robert Baldock who has a 30-year track record of overseeing turnarounds in the mining sector.
Jerritt Canyon
The wholly owned complex that YNG has at Jerritt Canyon consists of an array of open-pit and underground mines that have been exploited to various degrees over the last 30 years. There are further unexplored areas of the property that they intend to drill over time. The property is 120 square miles with 3 current / former operating gold mines—the Smith mine, SSX/Steer and Starvation Canyon and the strategic asset of the processing mill.
The Jerritt Canyon property in Nevada has produced 8m ounces of gold since 1981. If Nevada was a separate, stand alone country it would be up there with the top producing countries in the world.
Jerritt Canyon is located just North East of the prolific Carlin Trend in Nevada. One of its key assets is its roasting capacity used to process Sulfide Ore and turn it into Gold. Currently, there are only 3 roasting facilities in Nevada, owned by YNG, Barrick Gold and Newmont. It is a widely held belief that there will never be another roasting facility permitted in Nevada due to their lack of popularity with environmentalists. With roasting capacity constrained and finite, producers naturally err to processing only their highest-grade ore, while stockpiling their low and medium-grade ore.
The Last Year or so….
Many investors learned about Yukon-Nevada in the middle of 2010 and during that time, the stock price was at $0.25 per share. Within six months, the stock had rocketed to $0.90 per share. It was all playing out just as expected, the gold price flying was helping too. Management and shareholders were geniuses; turning the company around, operations showed profitability, and future growth productions targets were stunning.
The new CEO Bob Baldock took over in 2009, he told the Board that the plant was in need of more than $100 million in capex in the form of winterization and refurbishment. However, at that time, the controlling shareholders strongly opposed the issuance of more shares which was the only real access to capital. It was decided that without the capex, the management would restart production with the hope of producing enough cash to pay for the capital expenditures. This was Unmitigated Disaster 2.0. "As a result of this, the company began production without having winterized the plant. In this respect an avoidable dilemma was charged at full head-on and the dilemma won."
Production plunged as soon as the non-winterised plant ran into highly foreseeable problems with the first batch of wet ore. Then, in Q1 2011, the company announced YNG lost money in Q4 2010. Only when it became clear that the company's existence was in question did the board of directors give the management the green light to raise enough money to fix the malfunctioning plant.
The COO responsible for this mistake has now shifted to "corporate development" and was replaced with the current COO Randy Reichert (whom I have heard good things about from the sell side).
A plan was put together to engage Deutsche Bank to provide the company with a total of $179 million from private placement, warrant exercises, and pre-paid gold forward facility. On May 24th 2011 Yukon-Nevada reported that it had raised $59 million. only part of the $179 million in financing required. The day after the announcement, the stock price increased to $0.56 per share which represented a 40 percent jump in one day – this is an example of what can happen

Article: Alterations of the genes involved in the PI3K and estrogen-receptor pathways influence outcome in human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive and hormone receptor-positive breast cancer patients treated with trastuzumab-containing neoadjuvant chemotherapy[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Chemotherapy with trastuzumab is widely used for patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer, but a significant number of patients with the tumor fail to respond, or relapse. The mechanisms of recurrence and biomarkers that indicate the response to the chemotherapy and outcome are not fully investigated. METHODS: Genomic alterations were analyzed using single-nucleotide polymorphism arrays in 46 HER2 immunohistochemistry (IHC) 3+ or 2+/fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH)+ breast cancers that were treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy with paclitaxel, cyclophosphamid, epirubicin, fluorouracil, and trastuzumab. Patients were classified into two groups based on presence or absence of alterations of 65 cancer-associated genes, and the two groups were further classified into four groups based on genomic HER2 copy numbers or hormone receptor status (HR+/-). Pathological complete response (pCR) and relapse-free survival (RFS) rates were compared between any two of the groups. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: The pCR rate was 54% in 37 patients, and the RFS rate at 3 years was 72% (95% CI, 0.55-0.89) in 42 patients. The analysis disclosed 8 tumors with nonamplified HER2 and 38 tumors with HER2 amplification, indicating the presence of discordance in tumors diagnosed using current HER2 testing. The 8 patients showed more difficulty in achieving pCR (P=0.019), more frequent relapse (P=0.018), and more frequent alterations of genes in the PI3K pathway (P=0.009) than the patients with HER2 amplification. The alterations of the PI3K and estrogen receptor (ER) pathway genes generally indicated worse RFS rates. The prognostic significance of the alterations was shown in patients with a HR+ tumor, but not in patients with a HR- tumor when divided. Alterations of the PI3K and ER pathway genes found in patients with a HR+ tumor with poor outcome suggested that crosstalk between the two pathways may be involved in resistance to the current chemotherapy with trastuzumab. CONCLUSIONS: We recommend FISH analysis as a primary HER2 testing because patients with IHC 2+/3+ and nonamplified HER2 had poor outcome. We also support concurrent use of trastuzumab, lapatinib, and cytotoxic and anti-hormonal agents for patients having HR+ tumors with alterations of the PI3K and ER pathway genes.BMC Cancer 05/2013; 13(1):241. DOI:10.1186/1471-2407-13-241
Article: Sentinel lymph node biopsy after neoadjuvant chemotherapy predicts pathological axillary lymph node status in breast cancer patients with clinically positive axillary lymph nodes at presentation[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: It is still controversial whether axillary lymph node (ALN) dissection (ALND) can be omitted after negative sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy (SLNB) in breast cancer (BC) patients with clinically positive ALNs at presentation treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). The study aim was to analyze whether SLNB could be useful in these patients. METHODS: In a retrospective study, eligible patients were women with invasive BC with clinically positive ALNs at presentation, treated with NAC then a total or partial mastectomy, with an intraoperative histological examination of SLNs and non-SLNs suspicious for metastasis followed by ALND. Non-SLNs suspicious for metastasis were defined as hard or large nodes located in the same level of the axilla where clinically positive ALNs had been initially identified. The results of SLNB and clinicopathological characteristics were analyzed for correlation with pathological ALN status. RESULTS: In a consecutive series of 105 women with 107 BC cases, 81 (75.7 %) had at least 1 SLN, and the remaining 26 (24.3 %) had at least 1 non-SLN suspicious for metastasis. The intraoperative (or final) histological examination of these nodes revealed that the false-negative (FN) rate and accuracy were 8.2 (or 6.3) % and 95.1 (or 96.3) %, respectively. Estrogen receptor status at presentation, pathological tumor response, lymphovascular invasion after NAC, and NAC regimen were correlated with pathological ALN status. CONCLUSION: The histological examination of SLNs and that of non-SLNs suspicious for metastasis are useful for predicting pathological ALN status in BC patients with clinically positive ALNs at presentation who are treated with NAC.International Journal of Clinical Oncology 05/2012; 18(3).

Article: [Efficacy of oxycodone against anti-cancer agent-induced pain in breast cancer patients during adjuvant treatment before and after surgery].[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Chemotherapeutic agents, especially paclitaxel, and endocrinotherapeutic agents such as aromatase inhibitors and antiestrogen, can induce seriously painful symptoms in breast cancer patients during adjuvant treatment before and after surgery. We report five clinical cases in which oxycodone was effective against pain induced by anti-cancer agents during adjuvant treatment. Paclitaxel was used as the anti-cancer agent in each of the five patients. Aromatase inhibitors and anti-estrogen were administered to one and three patients, respectively. The daily dose of controlled-release oxycodone ranged from 10 mg to 270 mg, but none of the patients dropped out due to adverse events caused by oxycodone. Pain intensity measured by NRS decreased to less than 3 out of 10, compared to the baseline in every patient except for one. Oxycodone may be effective against anti-cancer agent-induced pain. In addition, appropriate assessment and management of pain may be crucial for breast cancer patients during adjuvant treatment.Gan to kagaku ryoho. Cancer & chemotherapy 07/2011; 38(7):1137-42.
Article: Neoadjuvant endocrine therapy of breast cancer: which patients would benefit and what are the advantages?[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Aromatase inhibitors (AIs) were more effective than tamoxifen as a neoadjuvant endocrine therapy (NAE) for postmenopausal women with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer. Neoadjuvant AIs were shown to reduce tumor volume and to allow the performance of breast-conserving surgery (BCS) in cases that would normally require mastectomy. Predictive markers of neoadjuvant AIs may be ER-rich, progesterone receptor (PgR)-rich and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative tumors. However, the ability of HER2 expression to predict a response to neoadjuvant AIs is controversial. Pathological tumor size, nodal status, Ki67 level, and ER score are predictive for the survival of postmenopausal women with breast cancer who have been treated with NAE. These factors could be useful in order to select patients who do not require chemotherapy. Indeed, neoadjuvant AIs are a potential treatment option for postmenopausal women with ER-rich breast cancer who prefer BCS despite having large tumors suitable for mastectomy.Breast Cancer 11/2010; 18(2):85-91.

Minnesota Twins catcher Joe Mauer said he feels much better physically than a year ago. The three-time American League batting champion is looking to rebound from the worst season of his career, when myriad ailments limited him to 82 games. "Yeah, my body feels a lot better than what it did (last March)," Mauer said. The 2009 AL Most Valuable Player went on the disabled list with leg weakness and also battled a viral infection, knee injury and an upper respiratory infection that resulted in pneumonia. Mauer wound up batting .287 with three home runs and 30 RBIs. He has a career batting average of .323.

The Lions didnt consider BYU defensive end Ziggy Ansah a consolation prize or a reach with the fifth overall pick in Thursdays NFL draft.
I wouldnt call it that at all, general manager Martin Mayhew said of Ansah being a consolation with the top-three offensive tackles drafted before the Lions picked. Were excited about him. Hes a heck of a football player.
Eric Fisher, Luke Joeckel and Lane Johnson respectively went first, second and fourth overall in the draft. That left Ansah, an inexperienced but impressive physical specimen at 6-feet-5 and 271 pounds.
But thats not to say the Lions werent trying to make a move to get one of those tackles.
We always make calls both ways, Mayhew said. We felt very comfortable at five. We had guys that we liked at five, and we stayed there and took Ziggy.
The Lions got a good, long look at Ansah during the Senior Bowl in January. And Thursday they admitted they really, really liked what they saw.
A phenomenal athlete, a guy who fills a big need for us with tremendous athletic ability: size, speed, power, all those things, Mayhew said. Hes going to fit in well with our coaching staff and our team. I think the opportunity to coach him at Senior Bowl really provided us with an opportunity to see what this guys capable of, and were really excited to have.
Mayhew has said he expected impact from any player he might draft fifth overall, and he held true to that estimation with Ansah, who played in various positions while totaling 41/2 sacks in three years at BYU.
I do see him as an impactful player right away, Mayhew said. I think at defensive end, sacks come when they come. But hes going to be a guy whos going to play a big role for us on defense. Hes got an opportunity to play left and right but hell be on the field. Hell be playing for us.
Inexperience will be the main concern with Ansah.
Its a production-based sport, Ansah said in a conference call with Detroit reporters. It doesnt matter the experience that Ive got, as long as Im able to produce. Ive just got to work on my technique.
Ive just got to go hard every single play. I cant say that Im going to make 20 plays. Im not going to make any promises. All Ive got to do is work hard and see what happens.
But the Lions comfort level was helped by their personal interactions with Ansah over a week at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala.
I think if we didnt have the opportunity to coach him at the Senior Bowl ... that would have been a bigger issue, Mayhew said. But we had the opportunity to work with him, to teach him, and we saw the way that he can learn, how quickly he picks things up, and we saw the impact he had in the game, so we felt very comfortable with him.
Coach Jim Schwartz was impressed with Ansahs play and demeanor at the Senior Bowl.
Well, he can play anywhere across the front, Schwartz said. Hes never played (wide) nine before our game, and it was an adjustment period. He didnt know very much before the beginning of the week. But every practice you saw him get better. And then the game came, and he dominated the game.
It wasnt just his playing ability during the week. You saw what a serious guy he was. You saw how important it was for him to do well, how he wanted to please the coaches. That was all an important part of the evaluation. It was a week well spent in Mobile.
