Supporting my argument I made earlier about high energy costs increasing the cost of production. North American Palladium Ltd. Announces First Quarter 2001 Results biz.yahoo.com Cash costs to produce palladium, net of other metal credits and royalties, increased to US$330 per ounce in the first quarter 2001 compared to US$209 per ounce in the first quarter 2000. The increase in unit cash costs resulted from producing 8% less palladium combined with higher costs for waste stripping and diesel and electricity The 49% increase in costs during the quarter was due to the much higher volumes of waste stripping (2001-5,929,666 tonnes vs. 2000-1,003,711 tonnes) compared to the volume of ore extracted and processed, as well as the impact of increased fuel and energy costs

>>How do I sound like I live in CA? << Some of the comments you made would IMO make you eligible to live in Berkeley, or Marin County. On second thought, you couldn't live there because I think being a vegetarian is a requirement. <g> ....yet their unnatural and sugar laden products will kill you and make you addicted. I never knew that sugar was an addictive substance. I agree Americans eat too much sugar....but I'm not sure that sugar is addictive. Some of your statement, such as "there are no pathogens that cause heart "disease". There is poor diet and laziness to blame." just made me LOL. So....you think that all heart disease can be blamed on poor diet and laziness?!? One of my doubles tennis partners has had significant heart problems. She is not lazy, actively exercises, and isn't an ounce overweight. Her diet is...and always has been excellent. When she had her first indication of a heart problem she was on a rigorous hike with her husband, while staying at a health spa. I have high cholesterol ...and I would consider my diet to be excellent, I actively exercise, and I know I'm not lazy!!! Being a woman, I always think I could lose just 5 more pounds....but I don't think I'd be considered overweight. Just look at our vice president. If you go through enough surgeries, and take enough cholesterol lowering medication, blood-pressure medication, etc and if you spend gazillions of dollars on doctors, I'm sure you can lengthen your life span quite a bit. Or you can just learn to eat properly and exercise. Again.... just learn to eat properly and exercise. It really isn't always just that simple! I was also kidding you....since your statements are so adamant. But this is the true test to see if you really live in California: HOW TO TELL YOU'RE IN CALIFORNIA... 1. Your coworker has 8 body piercings and none are visible. 2. You make over $250,000 a year and still can't afford a house. 3. You take a bus and are shocked at 2 people carrying on a conversation in English. 4. Your child's 3rd grade teacher has purple hair, a nose ring, and is named Breeze. 5. You can't remember...is pot illegal? 6. You've been to a baby shower that has two mothers and a sperm donor. 7. You have a very strong opinion about where your coffee beans are grown and can taste the difference between Sumatran and Ethiopian. 8. You know which restaurant serves the freshest arugula. 9. You can't remember.....is pot illegal? 10. A really great parking space can move you to tears. 11. A low speed pursuit will interrupt ANY TV broadcast. 12. Gas cost 75 cents per gallon more than anywhere else in the U.S. 13. A man gets on the bus in full leather regalia and crotchless chaps. You don't even notice. 14. Unlike back home, the guy at 8:30 am at Starbucks wearing the baseball cap and sunglasses who looks like George Clooney IS George Clooney. 15. Your car insurance costs as much as your house payment. 16. Your hairdresser is straight, your plumber is gay, the woman who delivers your mail is into BDSM and your Mary Kay rep is a guy in drag. 17. You can't remember...is pot illegal? 18. It's sprinkling and there's a report on every news station about "STORM WATCH 2000." 19. You have to leave the big company meeting early because Billy Banks himself is teaching the 4:00 PM Tae Bo class. 20. You pass an elementary school playground and the children are all busy with their cell phones or pagers. 21. It's sprinkling outside, so you leave for work an hour early to avoid all the weather-related accidents. 22. Hey!!!! Is Pot Illegal???? 23. You AND your dog have therapists.
