It's Time to Seize Control of America's Energy Future

Don't expect oil prices to fall any time soon. Although domestic oil production is expanding rapidly, oil is once again over $100 per barrel, largely due to political unrest in the Middle East.
The mere threat of a disruption in oil shipments is enough to increase prices. Just imagine what a full-on blockade in, say, the Suez Canal or the Suez-Mediterranean Pipeline would do to the U.S. energy market. With the Syrian conflict spilling over into neighboring countries, and Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) members aligning on different sides in the struggle, the situation is ripe for a surge in prices. If Israel and Iran heat up, we could see oil prices soaring to $150.
America is not yet energy independent. But despite the recent spike in oil prices, our long-term energy outlook is bright. The ongoing domestic oil boom has given us the means and opportunity to break free from the tyranny of oil imports from hostile nations -- but only if the United States does all it can to increase and encourage domestic energy production.
The price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude -- the benchmark for domestic oil prices -- has been increasing. That's good news for the futures market, and suggests the WTI is back as the world's leading oil benchmark.
And that's just the start of America's sunny energy outlook. The U.S. government recently doubled its estimates of recoverable energy in North Dakota's Bakken and Three Forks shale formations, to 7.4 billion barrels of oil and 6.7 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. And, according to the IEA, America is on track to surpass Saudi Arabia in oil output by 2017.
At the same time, OPEC is steadily losing relevance. OPEC -- a cartel including several member nations with alarming amounts of Islamist violence -- recently announced it expects demand for its oil to drop by 300,000 barrels a day next year, and projections for future demand for OPEC oil are flattening even as OPEC members compete more fiercely with each other for market share.
For far too long, America's economy has been at the mercy of the politically unstable and anti-American Middle East. Now, the tides are shifting. Oil production from non-OPEC countries is expected to rise next year by 1.2 million barrels a day. And most of that new production is coming from the United States and Canada.
What's more, Saudi Arabia's and other oil infrastructure in the Middle East has been increasingly under attack by terrorists who are seeking to disrupt global markets by blocking oil production and transportation. Vast networks of pipelines are unprotected and vulnerable, and the terrorists know it.
However, our lawmakers can't afford to take the trend toward true energy independence for granted. The only real threat to American energy security is, well, America. Politics could compromise this country's energy boom.
Take the regulatory restrictions on hydraulic fracturing, popularly known as "fracking." The recent oil and gas boom is the result of advances in this technology, in tandem with advances in horizontal drilling. In fracking, a solution that is 99.5 percent sand and water, plus a few trace chemicals, is pumped underground at high pressure to break up rock formations.
Despite the fact that over a million wells have been fracked in America with an unparalleled safety record, radical environmentalists have been trying to sway public opinion against fracking. They're deploying easily debunked propaganda. There's simply no real evidence that fracking pollutes groundwater, causes earthquakes or is responsible for any of the other outrageous claims being made against the practice.
The White House has also repeatedly denied approval for the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, which would transport oil from Canada and North Dakota to refineries on the Gulf Coast. This project has been thoroughly reviewed and found environmentally sound. And its construction would create an estimated 42,000 jobs.
The White House has also been rebuked by federal courts for blocking drilling in parts of the Eastern Seaboard, the West Coast, Alaska and Florida. The President's agenda appears to be dictated by an extreme environmental lobby opposed to all new production conventional, economically viable energy.
Our domestic energy production capacity is growing rapidly. OPEC influence is waning. America has a rare opportunity to both ensure abundant energy growth and minimize national security risks. We must make energy production and security political priorities.

Stars are fusion engines, converting hydrogen into helium into lithium, etc. and releasing the resulting energy. I read in "The Grand Design" that the instant fusion progresses to the point where manganese is converted into iron, a supernova is triggered.
Would introducing heavy elements (as in nuclear waste) thereby trigger the sun's destruction? Probably not, since the main fusion engine is at the core of the sun, not at its surface. I'm certain nickel-iron meteors impact the surface of the sun all the time, without any measurable effect, therefore injection of our nuclear waste would likewise be safe.
Unfortunately, the energy cost of lifting the waste out of Earth's gravity well is prohibitive at this point in time. Its cheaper and more practical to dilute it, encase it in protective shielding and bury it underground somewhere in Nevada. - CW
Feb4-13, 09:32 AM
The very presence of iron (or heavier elements) in the core of a star is not what triggers a supernova. Except perhaps for some red dwarfs that were formed amongst the very first generation of stars, every star we now see has some heavier elements in its core. What triggers a type II supernova is when a large star has converted all of the lighter elements in the core to silicon. First look at what happens in a red dwarf. Fusion in a red dwarf converts hydrogen into helium. Because red dwarfs are fully convective, the helium that is produced disperses throughout the star. A red dwarf is able to burn a large portion of its initial hydrogen into helium before dying. The temperature never gets high enough to go beyond hydrogen burning in a red dwarf.
That's not what happens in a very large star. The waste products stay in the core. Once all the hydrogen has been converted into helium, the core collapses and increases in temperature until pressure and temperature become high enough so that helium burning can commence. This stops the collapse for about a million years until all of the helium has been consumed. The core collapses again until pressure and temperature become high enough to enable the carbon burning process. Each stage of the collapse is temporarily held at bay when pressure and temperature build up to the point where some other form of fusion can take place.
This burnout / collapse / restart cycle ends when the core becomes completely iron and nickel. (Note: It's *not* when the star starts producing nickel and iron. That's about three days before the end.) The problem with iron and nickel is that they can't fuse into some more massive element and yield energy. Fusion of iron and nickel are endothermic rather than exothermic processes. There's no new energy source to halt the collapse once a star's core becomes pure iron/nickel.
As far as our Sun is concerned, it's not massive enough to get past the helium burning stage, and that won't happen for another five billion years. The additional presence of a tiny, tiny bit of heavier elements won't do anything. Our Sun already contains far more heavy elements thanks to its third generation origins than we could ever hope to add. For example, the Sun contains almost 500 Earth masses worth of iron.

Orthopedic surgery is surgery performed by a medical specialist, such as an orthopedist or orthopedic surgeon, trained to deal with problems that develop in the bones, joints, and ligaments of the human body.
Hip Fractures are named by the location and can be categorized as femoral neck fractures(the neck of the thigh bone), intertrochanteric fractures (the head of the thigh bone), and subtrochanteric fractures (upper portion of the thigh bone). How the fracture is fixed, depends on where on the thigh bone the fracture occurred. It may be secured with metal screws or nails attached to metal plates. Ask your doctor how the fracture will be fixed. You will stay in the hospital after surgery.
After surgery: You will have a gauze dressing over sutures or staples at the incision. You may have a bulb drain inserted to keep the swelling down.
Changes in you: You can not cross your legs to avoid displacing your hip joint. Until told by your doctor, you can not have any greater angle to your hip than 90°, so you can not bend over to pick up something from the floor, or put on your socks or shoes. Additional information about what precautions and safety measures you may need to take will be given by your doctor.
For more information regarding the orthopedic surgeons at the Center for Orthopedics & Neurosciences, please call 888.978.1818 or schedule an appointment online.

Once again, I have been sadly deceived by the title of a book. Being in a tight situation, I was hoping that this book might detail just how I could fashion a saddle on the local dragon before the NSPPC could launch their attack, and I was surprise (and a little distressed) to find that it was instead the sequel to a book that I had enjoyed. I read the book swiftly and then fled the scene on the back of my purple llama.

This book is the sequel to Dragon Slippers. I think the first book in this series was better, but this book was really good, too. The plot is a lot different from the first book, and there is a lot more romance between Creel and Luka for everyone who wished there was more in the first book. I really, really love this series, and if you liked the first book, Dragon Slippers, you should pick up this one.

Tucson Mayor Jonathan Rothschild rang a bell at the downtown fire station 19 times Tuesday morning to note the moment two years ago when Jared Lee Loughner opened fire.
Rothschild rang the bell one time for each of the six people killed and 13 wounded in the attack at a meet-your-congresswoman event being held by former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.
Giffords was critically wounded in the attack and she resigned from Congress last year.
Tuesday morning's commemoration comes against the backdrop of a national gun control debate that has flared since last month's mass school shooting in Connecticut. Giffords and her husband have called for greater gun control efforts, and they are doing an interview on ABC in which will they will talk about the legacy of the shooting.
A gun control advocate is also holding a weapon buyback in Tucson on the day of the anniversary.
U.S. Rep. Ron Barber was one of the 13 people wounded. He issued the following statement:
"We will never forget what happened on Jan. 8, 2011 - but I also know that our community was not then and will not now be defined by that act of violence.
"Tucson is a special community that was deeply wounded two years ago. Sadly, within the past two years - and even within the past month - other communities in our nation have experienced the hurt and the pain that we in Tucson know too well.
"Because of what happened here, we have a personal understanding of the grief and loss that those communities are experiencing.
"In the wake of these mass shootings, we must take action to prevent another such tragedy. As a survivor, a grandfather, a mental health professional and a member of Congress, I am determined to do so."
Barber marked the moment of the shooting in a private gathering with members of his family and staff. Also on Tuesday, he will visit University of Arizona Medical Center to thank the doctors, nurses and others who treated him and other victims of the shooting. He will then attend an evening prayer service.

Hi, I'm Jaden, a professional recipe developer, food columnist and food photographer specializing in fast, fresh and easy recipes for the home cook. Most of my recipes are modern Asian! About meFast, fresh & easy recipes for the home cook.
Saturday, March 7, 2009
Our little blogger vacay at Club Med Columbus Isle wasn't all sand, beach and unlimited cocktails – honey, we worked HARD for our food! I landed this 45 pound wahoo with the help of hunka-hunka Clyde the boat captain.
Clyde has been taking a group of visiting chefs from the Food and Wine Festival out to fish every day to catch good eats for dinner. On this particular day, I went with Diane, Alex (husband of Smitten Kitchen Deb), Matt, Adam and Steve-Anna (Elise's friend) The pressure was ON to catch something for dinner…otherwise all 80 of us would be eating stale cracker crumbs.
I don't know what I was thinking, but I sorta was expecting a big fishing yacht. Okay, I was WISHING it was a big fishing yacht, and instead we got on a boat big enough for 4 monkeys and a jackrabbit. There were 4 long, strong fishing poles on the boat, each pole chained to the boat, which I thought was kinda dumb because what if we snagged something massive like a 600 pound shark?? And what if that said shark yanks the pole like a bamboo skewer and flings the boat back and forth…all because the damn precious pole was chained to the boat.
So, anyways, Kevin the co-captain drove while hunka hunka skewered dead sardines onto the hooks to use as bait. He then sprinkled some powdered seasoning on the dead sardine (he said it was powdered brine which helped preserve the sardine…but personally I think it was a bit of Old Bay Seasoning which is always good on seafood) and threw the bait out in the water.
Twenty minutes later, the reel thingy started spinning like outta control crazy and hunka hunka leapt towards the pole, ordered me to sit in the "hot seat," put my feet up and brace myself.
Hunka hunka then positioned the big, thick fishing rod RIGHT BETWEEN MY LEGS and yelled "Reel, baby REEL!!"
Big fish. Such fighting power between my legs!
After 4 minutes of orgasmically wrestling with the fishing pole….I needed a quick rum break.
And then, he finally came.
It was so much fun that one of us DID IT TWICE, and another (wince) had a premature release — the fish got away.
But look, we each got one!
One word…
This is Chef Sean Bernal of The Oceanaire Seafood Room, the most talented seafood man I know.
Look how clean he fillets the fish….WOWZA. That's sexy.
My friend Diane took all these pics!
I was on CBS in Tampabay and talked about our trip and how to buy seafood.
What a big catch. You seems to enjoy so much this trip. Have fun and drink more cocktails for us.

awesome : )
Ok, I totally love all the innuendo because thats just how my brain works! What an incredible experience!
Damnit Jaden, you never cease to make me insanely jealous. Can you send a gorgeous boat captain me way, at the very least?
how about next time you just join us for the next bloggers bash? ~jaden
That is SO funny!!! I laughed so hard. My husband is sitting next to me, working on his computer, and asking me "What? What's so funny?" Your descriptions are totally hilarious!!!!
you'll have to tell husband to take YOU fishing! ~jaden
Wow. I never really thought of sean as sexy. go figure.
a man who can fillet a fish blindfolded is HOT! ~jaden
Very funny…and love the pic of your boys kissing you even though it's out of focus. It's the best!
I am on the floor….can't…breath….stop….too funny!
I was going to use a double entendre but you already used them all;)
Glad you guys had such a good time.
Wow–amazing catch! Lucky you.
What a great story! I loved it!!
Does the last photo meant that it's over already??? 'Cause we were just getting warmed up to hunka hunka…
Welcome back!!
~ Paula
What a great trip! The photo with your boys is great. I enjoyed all the posts.
Wow. Love the action photo. Would love to do that some day!
Did your boys think you were (even more of) a Goddess to do that?
Hope they know their Mom rocks!
hunka-hunka Clyde is right!
Love the action photos and the look on your face at the reel!! I have to send this to my guy as he loves to fish (but never catches anything…haha) and will be soo jealous!!
Hunka Hunka – good name for a tuna martini. You tell us to keep it clean and stay on topic. Yeah sure…. Naughty, naughty.
I'm sure trips like this help you charge your batteries and get new ideas. I'd hate constantly–on deadline–having to produce new and fresh recipes and text. You always do a good job!!!
Such big fish!
rofl, you have a way with words. Very nice catch and welcome back
What a cute pic of you doing the "reel baby, reel" thang! Sounds like a great time was had by all. (Not that I'm bitter or anything from sitting here all week watching it snow YET again.) ;o}
Good morning. After your description of fishing I must attend the next food and wine event at Club Med.
OMG I have been laughing so hard, and couldn't read it to Michael with a straight face. LOL What a fantastic time you had! So envious of your trip!

Your government hates you: recalls and "hot" milk! »
Do NOT eat packaged leafy greens if you live, like, anywhere on the East Coast right now; some listeria got into Massachusetts' State Garden's manufacturing plant and wowza, there are so many brands that could sicken you, it's scary!
More ground beef is out to get you, too: nearly 8,000 pounds of "Fully Cooked Black Angus Ground Beef Steak Patties" are also lousy with listeria; thanks, United Food Group, LLC (UFG) of Vernon, Calif.! Oh man, it gets better: These "patties" were produced on Oct. 11 last year, an inspection discovered they were all listeria-ful, and UFG shipped them anyway! Whoops!
Listeria is the choice for food-poisoning right now, it seems; almost 500 boxes of "Wheat Free, Gluten Free Mac and No Cheese" and "Wheat Free, Gluten Free French Bread Pizza" from Ian's may be contaminated with the little buggers right now! When food safety standards are lax—and I mean, farm-to-shopping-cart safety standards—everyone suffers, even the Celiacs and the vegans.
The standards are super-lax, too: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has so little power to regulate anything, the only reason every one of us eating food in the U.S. hasn't been poisoned by it yet is absolute luck. Used-up dairy cows are sold to slaughter for human consumption without being subjected to the same tests your standard food-cows are, and these cows are full of antibiotics, like, illegally full of them, tee hee! The dairy industry, however, refuses to "allow" any further testing of any of the milk or milk products, and as the FDA is about as strong as A VERY WEAK THING, it can't make the producers submit to these tests. HA HA HA your milk is full of substances that will kill you!
Of course the FDA gets to test your milk, and annually "only a small number of truckloads are found to be 'hot milk,' containing trace amounts of antibiotics." Then that milk is "destroyed"—whatever "destroyed" means, it's not like pouring it down the proverbial drain disappears the antibiotics from the world—and all the milk-drinkers can breathe easy. Except that the dairy farmers are actually injecting their cows with oodles of drugs the FDA doesn't test for! Because the law doesn't require it! Because dairy industry lobbyists use their massive amounts of cash to "convince" our elected officials to eat a cheese sandwich and keep mum!
But, you know, drink your milk or you won't grow up big and strong/lose all the calcium in your skeleton/fade away from dairy product deprivation. You can just die of a minor infection because the bacteria were resistant to every antibiotic known to modern medicine, you'll just do it super-full of cheese. Definitely a good trade-off. The vegans will just suffer the fever and chills of listeria poisoning, no big deal.

Dairy Management using tax dollars to sell you cheese! »
Dairy Management, essentially the marketing arm of the USDA, has had one purpose since its creation in 1995: to get everyone to buy more dairy products! According to an article in yesterday's New York Times, Dairy Management has been helping with and paying for the marketing of cheesy foods since 1997. Apparently, "if every pizza included one more ounce of cheese, we would sell an additional 250 million pounds of cheese annually."
Most recently, Dairy Management consultants met with Domino's Pizza "to develop a new line of pizzas with 40 percent more cheese." Dairy Management also paid $12 million for the marketing. What $12 million? Our $12 million, citizens! Who do you think funds the government? Yeah, we're collectively paying for the "Got Milk?" campaign, too.
"Clinical studies show that people on a reduced-calorie diet who consume three servings of milk, cheese or yogurt each day can lose significantly more weight and more body fat than those who just cut calories." Do you remember hearing that? It came from a study commissioned by Dairy Management that turned out to have no basis in reality. Yes, it was a lie! A lie perpetrated by an arm of the government! For four years these ads ran, until the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine challenged the study in 2005 and got the Federal Trade Commission to finally pay attention and suspend the campaign in 2007 "pending additional research."
Please read the rest of the article—you will love all the fun techniques Dairy Management uses to turn us buffoons into cheese-devouring zombies, and just how much more cheese the country has been eating since Dairy Management's inception (hint: a whole lot!).
Should you ever find yourself craving an eight-cheese pizza—like the new "Wisconsin" by Domino's, with two cheeses in the crust and six on the top—your Vegansaurus would like to remind you of all the vegan alternatives available today. For this generic melting dairy cheese that Dairy Management tries daily to shove down your throat, there are equally delicious vegan analogs without the taint of the dairy industry, obscenely high levels of fat, saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium, and no one is sneakily marketing it to you.
Vegan cheese; it's basically good for you! OK that's a lie, but it definitely won't kill you tomorrow.

EUGENE, Ore. (June 6, 2013) – The women's 4x100 relay team, earning Second Team All-American status, and redshirt junior Asha Ruth in the long jump, picking up Honorable Mention All-American honors, opened up NCAA Track & Field Championship action for the Scarlet Knights on Wednesday at Hayward Field on the campus of the University of Oregon.
"The team performed admirably for their first trip to the NCAA Championships," said assistant coach Lou Tomlinson. "They represented themselves and Rutgers University well at the highest level of competition."
The RU women's 4x100 team – comprised of sophomore Gabrielle Farquharson (Williamstown, N.J.), redshirt junior Asha Ruth (Bowie, Md.), junior Corryn Hurrington (Bowie, Md.) and junior Tylia Gillon (New Egypt, N.J.) – finished 14th overall of the 24 teams competing at the championships to earn Second Team All-America honors. RU logged a time of 44.91 as the Scarlet Knight quartet was .2 seconds off their school record breaking time of 44.71 captured in qualifying for the NCAA Championships at the East Regional.
Ruth, the 2013 BIG EAST Champion in the long jump, took 19th in the event on Wednesday going the distance of 5.99m on her third and final attempt. She earned her second All-American title taking honorable mention honors.
"Asha had another phenomenal year and continued to establish herself as one of the premier long jumpers in the nation," said head coach James Robinson. "Her work ethic is impeccable and it has been a complete pleasure coaching and watching such a tremendous student-athlete continue to prosper."
Farquharson, Ruth, Hurrington and Gillon return to the track on Thursday at 6:20 p.m. in the semifinals of the women's 4x400. Senior James Plummer (South Toms River, N.J.) will go after the discus title on Friday at 4 p.m.

A hit list against African American students at Agoura
high? Well, yes an no...
Here is what investigators are working on...
Racist graffiti was first found during the weekend on the school's walls. Then, kids going in
the bathroom on Wednesday morning saw "the first to die" followed by
the names of 5 students, all black. Hate crime investigators spoke to all the
students and their families, who wondered why they hadn't been notified during
the weekend.
Well, it seems deputies have been working on the theory
that an actual student has been scrawling the hateful words, to make the school
look bad. Seems he or she wants to transfer out, and wanted to create a
"reason to say there was a hostile environment at the school".
"It's embarrassing,"says school principal Larry
Misel, who has been at Agoura for fifteen or so years and never seen anything
like it.
Flabbergasted students, first horrified at the
possibility of such racism,don't know how to react to the possibility that it
was a hoax to get out of one of the most coveted high schools in the state.
Waiting for more confirmation from investigators, for
details on why the student may have thought this was the thing to do. But they
are pretty sure no one at the school, of any race, is being targeted.
(FOX 11) Authorities today were investigating two hate-crime incidents of racist graffiti targeting black students at Agoura High School.
The first incident was reported on Sunday, then graffiti was found on various buildings on the campus at 28545 W. Driver Ave., said sheriff's Lt. Patrick Mathers of the Malibu/Lost Hills Station.
Deputies took a report that day of "anti-race hate graffiti,'' he said.
On Wednesday, deputies were notified that similar graffiti was found in a boys' restroom on the campus, and that incident also was classified as a hate crime, Mathers said.
"The sheriff's department does not believe there is any immediate threat to students at the campus,'' Mathers said. The incidents were being investigated by a hate crime task force, Mathers said. He declined to elaborate on specifics of the case.
Wednesday's incident reportedly included names of students.
"My son's name showed up on the list,'' Astrid Kastenberg said in remarks reported by the news media.
Parent Dorna Hill said she was uneasy, even though officials said they didn't believe students were in danger, media outlets reported.
School officials said a $1,000 reward was being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or people responsible.
As far as bugs go, caterpillars are usually pretty tame – except for one.

Teen Book Reviews - Special Review by Teen Winner!!!
Published on Thursday, October 13, 2011 - 2:21pm
We have a very special treat for you in this month's teen book review post. As part of DC Public Library's Summer Reading program, a local teen named Anna submitted the review below. This is a great review that won Anna the grand prize in our contest, a Dell netbook computer. It's about a great book that asks the question, "If emotion were outlawed because of the trouble it caused, what would happen to someone who wants to feel?" If you want the answer to this question, read on...
"Delirium" is a book by Lauren Oliver. I read this book at the beginning of the summer and I very much enjoyed it. I really liked the characters in this book because all the characters were very detailed and you could easily imagine what the person would look like. All the characters' personalities were distinct from each other in a good way because then you would not get them confused. The characters all had an important role in the story and that made me happy because then there aren't just a lot of random minor characters that don't do or say much in the story. The main character in the story is a teenage girl named Magdalena, or Lena for short. Her mother abstained from getting the cure from love and Lena does not want to follow in her mother's footsteps and end up in the asylum. But then she meets Alex and becomes biased to the cure.
I can relate to Lena because I am tactful and I also run like Lena does and I am smart. I also relate to her best friend Hana because I am boisterous and bold. This book also teaches lessons to the reader. What I have learned from this book is that you should always fight for your freedom and not let something get in the way of you loving someone. I also learned that you should never let someone change your mind about something and if someone tells you to do something you don't want to do because you believe it isn't right, don't do it. This is part of the reason that I would really recommend this book to any teen. It delivers messages to people. I would also recommend it because it is one of those books where you stay up late because you just can't put it down, you cant eat because you are busy reading, and you fall asleep reading it. It is a dramatic book but dramatic in good terms.
I have much to conclude from this book. First, the characters were very well thought out and very well written. Lauren Oliver was very descriptive in describing the characters. Second, I learned much from this book from learning that you should be yourself and not try to be like someone else. That you should not go to a party just because your friend is going but you know it's dangerous and wrong. Third, this is a really good book and I would recommend it to anyone that likes dramatic, energetic and action-packed books. Lastly, you can learn so much from books and in pretty much ANY book, you can probably relate to at least one character if not more. You can always learn a lesson from a book even if it is a small lesson or a big life long lesson that sticks with you. Either way you will always learn lots from books because books are just portals to whole new worlds.
Delirium is recommended for mid- to late-teen readers. Check it out at Northeast Library or other DC Public Library location today --and keep reading!!!

Subaru are currently working at the successor for the Impreza WRX. Spy photographers caught several test vehicles. It appears that the new vehicle will be a hatchback and the overall design is inspired by that of the B5-THP concept car. By making the Impreza a hatchback, Subaru will throw the WRX STI against cars like the Volkswagen Golf GTI, Opel Astra OPC or Ford Focus ST. Do the European and American hot-hatches stand a chance?
As test vehicles indicate the next Impreza, including the WRX model will be offered in a hatchback body. This would be a smart move from Subaru, as the Impreza is having a hard time competing against European sedans and wagons. Thing should be a bit easier in the compact hatchback segment were the WRX could eat alive competitors such as the Golf GTI, Opel Astra OPC, Ford Focus ST and even Audi S3 or even BMW 130i. In addition, with the Subaru pricing, the Japanese vehicle could also be cheaper than the Europeans could.
The general design lines of the upcoming Impreza seem to have been previewed by the 2005 B5-TPH concept-car. While the car's fancy hybrid technology will not make it to production, some design lines certainly will. Our team of artists has prepared several computer illustrations to point where the next WRX is heading. The front fascia of the B5 Concept seems pretty close to production. The lights will get conventional lamps but their shape is expected to be maintained. Same for the radiator grille, that will feature a regular black plastic net instead of the shiny painted one on the concept.
The front spoiler will be aggressive and will host a large air intake in order to meet the cooling needs of the turbocharged boxer engine on the WRX. The iconic air intake on the hood will be most likely preserved, as it is one element that clearly indicates what the car is. Large round fog lights complete the rally-car look of the front side.
The rear will drop the fantasy optics of the B5-THP and will feature some conventional lights, with a different shape, but similar technology to that of the current models. The exhaust will be probably divided in two, in order to follow the two banks of cylinders the engine has, and also offer a sportier look.
Three and five-doors models are expected for the hatchback models; the sedan and the station wagon, which are very likely to be kept in the range, will offer four and five doors.
Technologically speaking the Impreza WRX will be an evolution and not a revolution. Previous generations of WRX have borrowed most of their technology from the WRC rally-cars, but there are still a lot of elements to be upgraded in order to allow the production car to match the performance of the racer.
The engine will be the same 2.5 liters supercharged 4 cylinders boxer, but with an updated turbo, that will offer up to 330 bhp and even more on some markets (in Japan the power of the production vehicle is restricted by a gentleman agreement to 280 bhp). Also updated should be the high-performance four-wheel drive system featured on the WRX with new active differentials. It is not excluded that some components to be made out of aluminum, as most manufacturers these days try to save weight in order increase performance without raising the fuel consumption.
A launch date for the new Impreza has not been officially announced, but judging on the level of development of the current test cars, they should be ready for production as late as 2008.
The Impreza is Subaru's compact vehicle first introduced in 1993. It had two generations so far with numerous face-lifts. It was one of the most successful vehicles ever in the World Rally Championships. In the past fifteen years many contestants went in an out the WRC, the Subaru Impreza being one of the few consistent vehicles.
The USA Impreza line was restyled for 2006 and in addition given the all-conquering 300-horsepower WRX STI model several performance enhancements. On the safety front, all Impreza models gain the new dual stage Subaru Advanced Airbag System.
Following an interior redesign for 2005, all Subaru Impreza models have been restyled for 2006 to reflect the new brand identity. The new Subaru signature front-end design for Impreza features a three-section mesh-type grill inspired by the company's aircraft heritage, plus boldly styled headlights with smoke-tinted lenses. All 2006 Impreza models are also identified by a new tail lamp cluster design. The 2006 WRX STI is also distinguished by the lower-profile hood scoop from the standard WRX to aid forward visibility. Daytime running lights (DRL) are added to the safety roster to make the WRX STI more visible to other drivers. A new roof vane spoiler, inspired by the Impreza World Rally Championship competition car, contributes to stability at track speeds and reinforces the car's high-performance attitude.
The WRX STI received several significant chassis performance enhancements for 2005, including wider wheels. For 2006, the addition of a steering sensor input to the

The vehicle that is told to have previewed the future Impreza in terms of design is the Subaru B5-TPH prototype. This vehicle presented in 2005 carries a revolutionary powertrain system beneath sporty bodywork. This vehicle's TPH powertrain is a strategically important technology for the power source of clean-energy vehicles and will be incorporated with the Subaru core technologies including the Subaru Boxer Engine and
The Subaru TPH powertrain in the B5-TPH places a thin, 10-kW motor generator between a vehicle's engine and its automatic transmission. The combination of the motor-generator and the turbocharged Subaru Boxer Engine creates a system that not only provides power in the mid-speed ranges when the turbocharger is active — as with conventional turbo models — but it also delivers excellent acceleration and fuel economy. This superb, all-range performance has been enabled by electric motor-assist, a feature that is designed to boost engine torque at low speeds.
For even greater efficiency, the TPH gasoline engine adopts the Miller Cycle. A Miller-cycle engine leaves the intake valve open during part of the compression stroke, effectively shortening the compression stroke to avoid detonation. However, due to the
turbocharger, the cylinder still packs a larger "charge" than would a conventional-cycle engine. In the Subaru B5-TPH, the Miller Cycle turbo boxer engine operates up to 30 percent more efficiently than a conventional gasoline engine.

As the Impreza is about to be presented as a hatchback, one of the main competitors for the WRX will be the king of the hot-hatches, the Volkswagen GTI. For 2006 the GTI fans won't miss the V6, however, once they've driven the new 2.0-liter FSI turbo-charged four, which matches the 2.8 VR6's power output and exceeds its torque. FSI stands for fuel straight injection (gasoline direct injection) which helps this new sixteen-valve DOHC engine make 197 hp and, even more impressive, 207 lb-ft of torque.
Those are good numbers, but what puts the smile on your face is the eagerness with which the Volkswagen GTI responds. The full helping of torque is available almost no matter where you are on the tach (from 1800 to 5000 rpm), and the throttle response is absolutely linear. There's no putting your foot in it, waiting for the boost, then-whoa-backing out again. It's great for powering through long, unreeling curves, as well as for stop-and-go driving. In go-go-go driving, the FSI turbo charges past its 6500-rpm redline to a gentle rev cut at 7000. Electronics will hold the car to 130 mph (same as today's GTI), but we managed 135 on the autobahn, running out of room before we could get to the claimed maximum of 146 mph.
A comprehensive article on the 2006 VW Golf GTI can be found here.
The more traditional competitor of the Impreza is a car that has matching performance in the rally events the Mitsubishi Lancer . The upcoming Lancer Evo X was previewed with two show cars: the Concept-Sportback displayed at Frankfurt and the Concept-X that was unveiled at
For the new EVO there will be made extensive use of aluminum in the roof, engine hood and other body panels. Chassis performance will be substantially improved with the introduction of Mitsubishi 's latest 4WD-based Super All Wheel Control (S-AWC) vehicle dynamics control system. The incarnation of driving pleasure; this highly advanced technical specification will make EVO X a showcase on wheels for Mitsubishi Motors' quintessential road performance technology.
As the Concept X shows we can expect a form with lines that are purposeful and handsome; a form that symbolizes the New Mitsubishi Motors Design while retaining the spartan performance image that defines the Lancer Evolution series.
The exterior design will be distinguished by its eye-catching oversized grille, the front visage borrows design cues from a jet fighter to hint broadly at the huge quantities of air it draws in and at the car's road-hugging stability. The brand-identifying 3-diamond logo on the leading edge of the engine hood is another distinguishing element of the new-age Evolution design.

Librarians will meet with you one-on-one to help you with a research assignment, or just to teach you how to use a particular resource.
Librarians offer course-related instruction tailored to the needs of specific classes or assignments. These faculty-initiated sessions are generally held in Raynor Library's computer classrooms, located on the second level. Consult the list of subject specialist librarians to find out which librarian to contact directly.
The Learning Commons provides a variety of desktop applications and peripherals for academic purposes. This equipment and software is supported by the Student Technical Assistants service whose service goals are to assist patrons with beginning-to intermediate-level technical support issues. Given the number of applications available, the Student Tecnical Assistants staff cannot provide advanced tech support on a walk-in basis. We will however endeavor to provide referrals or arrange an appointment for you to meet with someone who may be more knowledgeable. The Student Technical Assistants will guide patrons, offer advice on methods to maximize application functionality, and perform tasks as a demonstration of a function; however, staff will not complete a patron's work. During busy periods at the desk, priority will be given to short and urgent problems over in-depth training. Patrons who are novices with a software package should allow an appropriate amount of time to become familiar with the package and to complete their own work.
For in-depth help in a specific subject area, you can contact the librarian who specializes in your subject area directly.

YES! This week I'm swatching my own polish, Princess Bubblegum. Available at KattClaws.Etsy.com… currently the shop is closed while I'm in the process of moving, but for any serious inquires, feel free to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Introducing Katt Claws Polish! Who the heck wouldn't want sparkly kitty katt claws? These will be for sale on my ETSY shop this weekend! I'll try to have them all swatched before they hit the shop of course. So make sure to bookmark my shop, and check out my TWITTER for updates of when they'll be hitting the store. For those following my twitter, also be on the look-out for a coupon code for 10% off your order! YAY!
I'll list the polish names in order, but I'll go more in-depth when I do the swatches :) ENJOY LADIES!
1. Community Pool
2. Nightosphere
3. Princess Bubblegum (PB)
5. Candy Kingdom
6. Bath Salts (are dangerous)
7. Ice Kingdom
The polishes on the far left and right are not yet named! BE EXCITED! You may get a chance to choose a name and win some polish!
Swatches of Ooh La Lacquer!
God only knows how much I love this polish! JAM PACKED with glitter, so easy to get full coverage with just one coat, and near opacity with two coats. I love, love, love the base colors I chose, I feel they compliment each franken so well! PLUS right now Nastassia is having a $5 SALE!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT! You already know what to do…. http://www.etsy.com/shop/OohLaLacquer
These are my all time favorite franken/indie/glitter polishes I own to date. No joke. My most wonderful and amazing friend @NastassiasNails created this new line of polish, Ooh La Lacquer. Available to purchase here
Based off of the movie, Mean Girls, I knew this polish and I were destined to be together. ;) I'm currently wearing Beware of the Plastics, which is yellow, blue, turquoise and pink glitters. Please just GUESS how many coats I'm wearing…GUESS!…Two. I am wearing only two coats! *swoons*
I am way too excited to try the next, but I'm going to leave this glitter on till at least tomorrow night. Ignore the nice gap around my cuticles, I'm trying out the new peel off base polish so we'll see how it works out tomorrow. Yay! xo
Currently featured in the end of summer issue of -> turnmagazine!
Will be posting pictures soon, feel free to go buy a copy today :)
