Anyone see the Festelle video with the black and white women fighting topless? Both are fairly fat, and they just keep slugging each other in the belly forever. They're both sweaty, bent over and breathing hard. It's great.
I remember seeing photos from a shoot once with b&w women boxing nude. Their boobs were ENORMOUS and it was all shot from the floor. Truly awesome. I for one like it...the way the skin colors contrast is great. Two very dark black women fighting is confusing though...it's difficult to see what's where. I love the way sweat beads up on black women and shimmers on their skin. You can't see that on very light skin tones except in specific lighting conditions. Unfortunately it's difficult to see that same sweat in their hair, whereas whites and Asians get sweaty/sticky hair more easily. Light-skinned black women and dark asians are sort of the best of both worlds though...good skin tone that doesn't need extra lighting, hair that's good for pulling, etc. |

Statistically in USA black are poorer and more faintly educated. Part with them lives in anxious districts. Some girls from childhood meet with violence and have to learn to fight. I think that black girls have to fight more often. Therefore I think that statistical black girl will beat white girl, if they will be similar size and age. Environment decides here. Differently when both girls be bring up in similar environments. Race not important then.

I think most times black women are physically stronger than white women (by even height, weight, age). But I don't think that a black women will win against a white woman in every case, but the white woman have to be much more skilled to defeat a blck woman.
I sa lots of black vs white matches and most of them (maybe around 80-90 %) saw the black women win the fight. There are only a few exceptions. In most of the videos I've seen the upper body strength of the black female was the reason for her victory. I know a lot of videos where the black woman totally dominates the white woman, but only a very small size of videos the other way round...
There is everytime a reason for 2 beautiful women to wrestle! |

Having witnessed at first hand and (sometimes) helped arrange over a hundred competitive matches between women, I can say that when black girls fight white girls, the black girls win around two out of every three. I wouldn't put it as high as 80 or 90%, but they do win the majority. This shouldn't be taken out of context as I've witnessed many white women defeat their black rivals, sometimes with ease. In fact my friend Claire Natalie ended the long unbeaten run of black favourite Bliss who worked for Festelle for many years (although it was far from easy).
Black girls in wrestling tend to be stronger or more athletic - no guarantee of victory, but a good start - but quite why they are that way is hard to say. It may be connected to their background as some have suggested, or it may be a genetic or racial propensity to develop muscle and agility at a greater rate. It may be both of these factors - or neither of them. Either way, long may these great sporting rivalries continue... |

I have some direct experience and the black women who have worked for me, without exception, are in general no stronger, tougher, meaner, or more aggressive than women of European descent or Asian women. Maybe I can get a fan to actually measure the results we've had...
It is always wrong to generalize, as exceptions always manifest, but in my personal experience is that the women from Mexico and Latin America have been more willing to absorb pain and have more derived more enjoyment from tough, rough fighting than any other ethnicity. |

Hi Bruce,
yeah, that's exactly what I think about that. I've seen most of the Academy matches where a black girl fights a white girl and I think there was a small plus for the black girls but not like dominating all white girls without exception. I think it depends on the point of view. I'm not sure about that, but I think most people finds it more erotic to see a blonde women getting dominated by a black woman than the other way round. I don't know why, but I know from many other forums where the question black vs. white is always discussed, that there are many people who wants to see the domination of the white woman. To be honest: I'm one of them but nevertheless I really like to watch movies in general with interracial fights (not only black vs. white). In case of Academy e.g. I love the fights of Crimson, espacially those where she totally dominates a blonde woman (her fight against Rose Madiera was wonderful, the same with her matches against Lexxus Lee, Leianna, Chantel Lace, Ariel Bilbao and Sabrina Snow). When I put all black vs. white matches I've ever seen together, there are only a few fights in which the white woman wins. Nevertheless there are many movies where both women are equally matched and the fight was very even. I'm with the comment from rockhead - the most important thing is that the sporting rivalties continues...Wrestling matches with contrasts in skin colour are something special to watch - but in the end it's only a wrestling match like a match between two blonde girls. But I have to be honest: It's always nice to discuss about those matches, even if it's everytime the same - in nearly every forum |

The main reason white girls have a difficult time against black girls in fighting such as boxing and wrestling is because they arent as fast on their feet or with their hands. I think the best fights or contests are between black girls vs. white girls. It always adds more excitement to see who is better. Ive witnessed quite a few matches both on film or in school. More recently I worked with a girl who I now am now married to who I encouraged to both box and wrestle. Shes in pretty good condition although she was not great is sports in high school and college. Shes twenty-five and does some aerobics and some light weight training to keep solid. Michelle is Irish and has light skin and her hair is kept short sort of a pixie cut. A friend of hers she went to computer school with named Kim is the perfect opponent for Michelle being her height and weight. They get along quite well and she always invites her over to our place to sit out in the sun by the pool so suggesting they go at it wasnt hard initially. Kim is black and twenty-one years old so I always say its knowledge versus youth although four years is virtually the same I think. Kim is very pretty too which makes it great too watch and she has a super body on her. Theyve had a lot of matches that I will post and I really consider myself lucky to have a wife willing to have matches with her friend that I can take photos and movie clips of. The first initial skirmish which was just a fun thing in the kitchen between them at out house was over using a remote for the television that was on. Both were in bikinis and taking a break from sunning outside. Michelle tried to grab the remote from Kim and an arm battle ensued with them laughing and giggling for control. I really egged Michelle on to get Kim to show her who was boss so to speak. They had a little sun oil on them so they were slippery but Kim was the faster one quickly putting on a great full-nelson hold on Michelle. Michelle looked embarrassed as Kim walked her into the adjoining living room all the while trying to get free. Michelle looked funny flailing her arms around trying to get out. Kim laughing told Michelle, You might as well give because you arent getting out of this honey and I was sure she was right. Seeing this with both of them in their bikinis was such a turn on. Kim applied more pressure to the back of Michelles neck to try and force a submission from her. Michelle perplexed had no way out and Kims pressure finally got to her and she gave up. Michelle was more embarrassed than hurt with that submission but she did get a hurting put on her with that hold. It is a hard one to get out of and that was the first physical contest they had and I thought it was great. |

Beauty & the Badlands
In a state where George Bush sees oil, Teddy Roosevelt found immensity and mystery.
by Bill Donahue
Just beyond Bismarck, as the train chugged west over the prairie, spitting little black clouds of soot into the sky, the land suddenly changed. On the east side of the Missouri River, the Dakota plains had been unbrokengreen and dull and flat as a pool table. Now there were sharp ravines and barren gray slopes and narrow red spires looming above a clay basin that had, for 600 millennia, been eroded by rivers and wind. The badlands: Here was that infamous swath of dry terrain that encompasses both prairie flats and jagged gulches as it stretches through the westernmost reaches of Nebraska and the Dakotas.
One can imagine the young Harvard grad on the trainthe slight, bespectacled fellow in the black derbypeering out at the rough land with apprehension, and with such awe that the little hairs in his mustache quavered. In 1883, Theodore Roosevelt was not yet the hearty, monocle-wearing honcho we have immortalized as "TR." No, at 24, he was rather a green New York state assemblyman who was still recovering from a childhood plagued by cholera morbus, and hed come out to the Dakota Territory with boyish notions of shooting a buffalo.
Over the next month in what is today North Dakota, Roosevelt was to experience all the Wild West thrills he craved. He rode horseback through rolling hills of silver sage. He hunted deer in the pelting rain, got tangled up in a cactus, and then shot his buffalo and, in gleeful celebration, performed an Indian war dance over the carcass. By the end of the month, Roosevelt was so enchanted with the badlands that he bought 500 head of cattle to graze by the banks of the Little Missouri River.
And then he began coming west whenever his legislature wasnt in session, spending a week, maybe two weeks at a time in the Territory and living in robust blue-blood splendor. Roosevelt had some locals build him a cabin. He helped his ranchhands herd cattle through the plains swirling dust, and as his holdings grew to include two ranches and 5,000 head, he slowly transformed from a blind romantic into a seasoned outdoorsman who loves the land because he knows it. He sat before a crackling fire, atop a bearskin rug, and wrote of the great out-of-doorsof, for instance, the "immensity and mystery" of the wilderness and of the Little Missouri, which, "in times of freshets runs a muddy torrent that neither man nor beast can pass."
Such words, recorded in six books that Roosevelt wrote about the Dakota Territory, would become a sort of soundtrack to his presidency, which lasted from 1901 to 1909. The first conservationist to occupy the Oval Office, TR established the Forest Service, placed vast quantities of coal and mineral deposits under federal control, created 16 national monuments, and doubled the number of national parks, adding among others Mesa Verde and Crater Lake. All the while, he remembered his time in the Territory as formative, character building. "I never would have become president," he once said, "if it had not been for my experiences in North Dakota." The Territory was the place where he first established his own empire, 1,500 miles removed from his aristocratic clan in Manhattan, and it was the place where he learned to lasso a bull.
Roosevelts stint as a Dakota cattleman lasted only four years (he called it quits after the brutal winter of 188687 killed hundreds in his herd), but today, if you visit the Little Missouri National Grasslands, a Delaware-size swath of North Dakota badlands that is managed by the Forest Service, its as though TR never left. The 70,000-acre Theodore Roosevelt National Park adjoins the Grasslands, and in the tourist town of Medora, the play Bully, a hagiographic drama about TR, is staged in his honor daily.
The myth is that western North Dakota is still the rugged, unvanquished place that shaped our most rugged president. But the truth is that Teddy Roosevelts old stomping ground is in troublethreatened by both cattle ranching and oil drilling.
Fifty-four thousand cows now graze on the Little Missouri National Grasslands on an average summer day. They chew the range, often, until the grass is little more than stubble, and all around them are roads, many of them built by the oil industry. In 1950 oil was discovered under the Grasslands, which sit atop a relict seabed, and tankers and servicemen have been rumbling into the backcountry ever since. There are 3,000 miles of roads on the Grasslands now, and 600 operational wells. Amerada Hess, Burlington Resources, and myriad smaller oil companies are collectively extracting 30,000 barrels a day. And if the current administration gets its way, the Grasslands will soon see more oil production, more roads, more gravel drilling pads, and more oil trucks.
President Bushs energy plan is premised on the assumption that America "faces the most serious energy shortage since the oil embargoes of the 1970s." It eschews conservation and calls instead for the development of new oil fields. Bush is most intent on tapping a potential 600,000 barrels of crude a day from the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. But as our relations with Saudi Arabia and other oil-producing nations become more tenuous, hes turning with increased thirst toward lower-profile sources of fuel: the Gulf of Mexico, the Rocky Mountain Front, and the Little Missouri Grasslands.
The Forest Service estimates that an unfettered oil industry could plant up to 600 new wells on the Little Missouri National Grasslands over the next decade, and the agency now seems poised to help make that prospect a reality. Last August, after completing the usual public-input process, which resulted in a Grasslands plan that banned roadbuilding on 130,000 acres and limited grazing, the Forest Service made a rare gesture: It gave the public six additional months to comment on the final document. The move was a boon to North Dakotas oilmen and ranchers. The 200-page plan crafted during the last eco-friendly days of the Clinton administration was suddenly open to revision by the aides of President Bush.
The Forest Service is expected to produce the final final management plan this spring. And even if the new document still designates 130,000 acres as roadless, an unlikely outcome, it will only protect the land until a new management plan is enacted 10 to 15 years hence.
Wayde Schafer, the conservation organizer for the Sierra Club in North Dakota, is concerned. "The grasslands," he explains, "were once unbroken from Canada to Texas. The great cattle drives came up through the grasslands of Texas, all the way to the Dakotas, and the Oregon Trail went through here, and the trail to the California gold rush. But today roads, cities, and agricultural fields have fragmented the grasslands almost beyond recognition. Just a few large tracts remain."
This spring, the Sierra Club, along with North Dakota Wildlife and the North Dakotabased Badlands Conservation Alliance, will publish a report urging that 218,000 acres of the Little Missouri National Grasslands be designated as wilderness and thereby permanently protected from roadbuilding. The report will also suggest that 15 miles of the Little Missouri River be protected as "wild" and 6 as "scenic."
The proposals face an uphill battle. While 87 percent of all North Dakotans want wilderness on the Grasslands (according to an independent poll commissioned by the Sierra Club in 1999), the states two senatorsDemocrats Kent Conrad and Byron Dorganare beholden to the ranch vote. Theyre loath to recommend the Grasslands for such a set-aside.
"Getting wilderness designation wont be easy," Schafer concedes, "but that doesnt make it any less worthy a goal. People need to have refuges they can visit to re-create their sense of place. They need to be able to go out onto the Grasslands, into rough country, and experience what Roosevelt did: the strong wind, the sun, a test of ones mettle."
Ah yes, a test! I knew what that word meant, precisely, on the evening I landed in western North Dakota. It was raining. Indeed, the region was in the midst of one of its wettest Junes on record. The dirt roads leading northwest from Medora were at times a slippery gumbo, but I pressed on, through darkness, until I came to an absurdly slick hill and began fishtailing down, toward a cluster of juniper bushes. I parked and shouldered my backpack. Then I walked barefoot across the Little Missouri. The muddy water tore at my shins and chunks of junipers gushed in the current; I anchored my feet on the bottom and made it to the other side.
Here I was, at last, at the site of Theodore Roosevelts Elkhorn Ranch. The old cabin was gone, thanks to a circa-1900 fire, but the winds wild rustling of the cottonwoods conjured a sentence from TRs Hunting Trips of a Ranchman: "From [Elkhorns] low, long verandah, shaded by leafy cottonwoods, one looks across sandbars and shallows to a strip of meadowlands."
I warmed a tin of Dinty Moore beef stew (the most Rooseveltian meal I could muster under the circumstances) and then went to sleep.
In the morning, I set off on a walk beside the Little Missouri. On the hillside above, there was an oil-drilling rig: a 100-foot-high tower affixed with lights that pulsed silver.
Beneath me as I hiked was a 60-foot-wide current that was vital now in the rainflooding sandy bottoms, babbling over small stones, and lapping at tree trunks as it bore a brown cloud of silt away. I watched the river. It looked, I imagined, more or less like the river Roosevelt saw each spring when he arrived from New York. As I sloshed along, shivering (it was 50 degrees out, and so windy the rain hit my face at an angle), I remembered how TR, whose cattle drank from the river, saw the Little Missouri as central. "The river flows in long sigmoid curves," he wrote, "through an alluvial valley of no great width. From the edges of the valley, the land rises abruptly in steep high buttes. This broken country extends back from the river for many miles. Every few miles, it is crossed by creeks that open into the Little Missouri, some of them having in their beds here and there a never-failing spring or muddy alkaline-water hole. From these creeks run coulees, or narrow, winding valleys, through which water flows when the snow melts; their bottoms contain patches of brush, and they lead back into the heart of the Bad Lands."
Roosevelt apprehended the river as a geological forcethe same force I watched carving the ravine a little bit deeper as I stood there, getting drenched. On the hillside, lights flashed and men in yellow slickers hurried about the base of the drill, checking its progress.

I am going nuts trying to make decisions on my master bath remodel! I can't decide if I should do a full glass wall next to the potty or do a half wall with a stationary glass on upper half.
We have decided to make the shower a walk in with no door (and no threshold on the floor) and my style will be very traditional(some old world)with natural stone tile and countertop. I thought about going floor to ceiling glass to give me a few extra inches in my very small shower but thought it would be too hard to keep clean (our water is very hard) and wondered if it would look to contemporary. I'm considering a half wall and even then I can't decide if I need to go all the way to the ceiling with the glass. I'm not very tall and wondered if it's hard to squeegee the high part. I would appreciate some help. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I had a similar decision to make, and opted for the half-wall with glass above. The main reason was because I wanted to create some privacy for the toilet area. Without the wall, you would step into the bathroom and see the toilet sitting right beyond the shower. I'm really happy with the way it's working out: privacy and a hidden toilet are both lovely. |

Here is a link that might be useful: half wall
I have another question for you concerning where you place your shower fixtures. I don't want to have to step into the shower to turn on the water and get wet or shiver and wait for it to warm up. I'm thinking about putting the lever on the doorway end of the shower so I can just reach in and turn it on without having to step into the shower and get sprayed with cold water. The shower head would still be at the opposite end. Do you have any thoughts on this? |

It's these unique pieces we tend to cover here at Gizmag, and the Stratflex Collection from Wintec Innovation offers a form of flat pack furniture that is anything but banal. Read More
This chair will self-destruct in eight sits
What if the concept of disabling a product after certain conditions are met wasn't just restricted to digital goods? That's the idea that a design team in Switzerland decided to explore with the "DRM Chair," a piece of furniture rigged to fall apart after being sat on eight times. Read More
Hanging out on the beach sometimes doesn't consist solely of, well, hanging out. A true beach bum knows that having to get up to get a drink or having to leave the beach altogether because of sunburn is just not acceptable. A new chair called the LoungePac is aimed at keeping those things from proving necessary. Read More
The Stooler turns almost anything into a chair
Upcycling is an often overlooked method of creating something worthwhile and usable from things most people would happily bin. Thankfully a select few designers are taking the practice seriously, and incorporating it into their work. One of the best examples comes from Andreu Carulla, the Spanish designer behind The Stooler, a simple tool which enables almost anything to be turned into a chair. Read More
Convertible Sofa transforms into a dining table and chairs
In cities where ever-growing populations need to be squeezed into the existing urban sprawl, living space is at a premium.

Spiritual Guidance: Playing catch up with shadow priests {WoW}
Jan 13th 2010 2:53PM You're right, the trinket boosts crit by about 20%. A raiding shadow priest probably starts with about 20% crit base, maybe 25% with really good gear. Combine that with 2/2 in the Mind Melt talent, raid with a Boomkin, and have the shammy in your raid put down the right totems and you can see the crit rate on Shadow Word: Pain actually go well beyond 50%.

This is a lucid, valuable part of the InterVarsity NT Commentary Series, done by a former InterVarsity director who pastors Memorial Presbyterian Church, St. Louis. It is a simplified survey of James, informed by substantial use of good tools. Stulac gets at the "gist" of many passages, keeping the main ideas clear and articulating the applicational relevance. Pastors and students who need more detailed help will find it in such as Davids, Adamson, Lenski, Hiebert, Mayor, Mitton, and Moo. However, this work is often insightful, and takes its place as one of the top three popular expositions, alongside those by Homer Kent and Simon Kistemaker.
Stulac thinks James the Just, the Lord's brother, wrote the book in the late 40's. The purpose is to refute a Jewish-Christian misunderstanding of Christ's lordship (17). Trials of the epistle came in the diaspora of Acts 8:1-3, before Paul's epistles (23). Paul in Romans 3`4 and James in 2:14-26 correlate consistently; Paul uses dikaioō to mean "declared to be righteous in the judicial sense of `acquitted,'" whereas James uses the verb in the sense of "shown to be righteous" in a moral sense in acts of daily life (21).
The epistle encourages faith amidst suffering, reflecting servanthood to Christ. By faith one can have joy in trial (1:2), show impartiality (2:1-13), bless and not curse people even in trials (3:9), be cheerful (5:9), be at peace rather than fighting other believers (4:1-2), pray and trust God during sickness (5:13-14) (31).
One good section deals with trust when one lacks material wealth, the kinds of reactions one can feel, and false notions that money means personal security, power, and advantage (33-39).
Stulac sees 1:12 as a summary drawing together major elements in 1:3-11. He never says so, but he apparently takes the "crown of life" to be "the crown which consists of life." This is the ultimate fulfillment, eternal life for all the saved, all of whom love God in some measure and live faithfully in trials (49).
"Deceived" in 1:22-24 is not a warning to genuine Christians to be more serious. It is a warning against one's false assumption of his own salvation when his religion has been only external. "The core of accepting salvation is accepting Christ as Saviour and Lord. If I am saved, I will give myself to the doing of my Lord's word. It is not that I will attempt to save myself by obeying commands; rather, because I am saved, I will set my heart on doing the will of God who is my Saviour" (75). A long section develops how Stulac feels a person today would be only a hearer, self-deceived, in a belief that is merely relativistic, superstitious, emotional, or theoretical (76-78).
At times the work is fairly detailed in stating and supporting different viewpoints. Stulac decides that God jealously desires the human spirit He gave us to be committed wholeheartedly to Him rather than the world. In 5:14-16 the problem is physical sickness with sin possibly involved. The anointing is with oil as in Mark 6:13, but healing depends on the Lord and not the oil. Faith is the principle for all Christian living in 1:6 and throughout the epistle. He sees the passage as applicable today.
Most things appear to be clear, even though concise. The author passes over some points. For example, copious remarks stress being joyful and show that joy is not denial, complaint, or self-pity (39). But he never says what joy is, positively; he leaves that vague. Converting a sinner in 5:19-20, to the commentator, refers either to evangelizing a non-Christian or helping a saved person get right by repentance. Some will wonder if saving a soul from death suggests one interpretation or the other.
All in all, the work is usable for general readers and only a light refreshment with occasional help for those who give attention to detail in teaching.

January 17, 2012 Mercator Minerals Provides an Update on El Pilar Activities Vancouver, British Columbia -- January 17, 2012 - Mercator Minerals Ltd. (TSX:ML) ("Mercator" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on activities at its wholly owned El Pilar project. On January 12, 2012, the Company's subsidiary which holds the El Pilar project, made the final payment for the change of land use ("CUS") permit which allows mining to commence. Also, over the past few months, the final water concessions have been obtained, which along with the previously granted mineral concessions, surface rights, and construction permit, allows for the commencement of construction and mining operations at the El Pilar project. Detailed engineering, environmental studies and right of way on the power transmission line and access road have also been advanced. Detailed engineering work continues with major equipment sourcing and construction bid materials being prepared.
An updated feasibility study, which will incorporate shorter lift heights in the project's base case resulting in improved project economics, is expected to be released before the end of the first quarter 2012. "As of today, we have all the necessary permits and agreements in place to commence construction and mining at El Pilar," said Bruce McLeod, Mercator's President and CEO. "Our immediate focus is to continue to de-risk the project, improve the project's economics and ensure the project is construction-ready once value-accretive financing is secured." Quality Assurance/Quality Control Mike Broch, BSc, Geology, MSc, Economic Geology, FAusIMM, Mercator's VP Exploration and Evaluations, a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, supervised the preparation of and verified the El Pilar technical information contained in this release. About Mercator Minerals Ltd. Mercator Minerals Ltd., a TSX listed Canadian mining company with one of the fastest growing base metal profiles in its peer group, is a leading copper, molybdenum and silver producer with a diversified portfolio of high quality operations and projects in the USA and Mexico. Mercator provides investors exposure to current copper, molybdenum and silver production from the large tonnage long life Mineral Park Mine in Arizona, as well as mid-term exposure to copper at the El Pilar deposit in Sonora in northern Mexico and longer term exposure of molybdenum and copper through the development of the El Creston deposit also in Sonora in northern Mexico.

D. Bruce McLeod, P.Eng President and CEO Forward Looking Information This press release contains certain forward-looking information within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation and forward-looking statements within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. This information and these statements, referred to herein as "forward-looking statements", are not historical facts, are made as of the date of this press release and include without limitation, statements regarding estimates and forecasts and statements as to management's expectations with respect to, among other things, financing plans, future production, mine development, mine operations, completion dates for the development of the El Pilar Project, future copper prices (including the long-term estimated prices used in calculating the Company's El Pilar mineral reserves), end-use demand for copper, and anticipated timing of production at the El Pilar Project,discussions of future plans, projections, objectives, estimates and forecasts and statements as to management's expectations with respect to, among other things, the size and quality of the Company's mineral reserves and mineral resources, potential mineralization, and possible extensions of zones. In addition, estimates of mineral reserves and mineral resources may constitute forward looking statements to the extent they involve estimates of the mineralization that will be encountered if a property is developed. These forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties and actual results may vary. Important factors that may cause actual results to vary include without limitation, certain transactions, certain approvals, changes in commodity and power prices, changes in interest and currency exchange rates, risks inherent in exploration results, timing and success, inaccurate geological and metallurgical assumptions (including with respect to the size, grade and recoverability of mineral reserves and mineral resources), unanticipated operational difficulties (including failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate in accordance with specifications, cost escalation, unavailability of materials, equipment and third-party contractors, delays in the receipt of government approvals, industrial disturbances or other job action, and unanticipated events related to health, safety and environmental matters), political risk, social unrest, and changes in general economic conditions or conditions in the financial markets. In making the forward-looking statements in this press release, the Company has applied several material assumptions, including without limitation, the assumptions that: (1) market fundamentals will result in sustained copper demand and prices; (2) the construction and operation of the El Pilar Project will continue to be viable operationally and economically and will proceed as expected; and (3) any additional financing needed will be available on reasonable terms. Statements concerning mineral reserves and mineral resource estimates may also be deemed to constitute forward-looking statements to the extent that they involve estimates of the mineralization that may be encountered during current or future operations. The words "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "may," "will," "should," "intend," "believe," "target," "budget," "plan," "projection" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Information concerning mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates also may be considered forward-looking statements, as such information constitutes a prediction of what mineralization might be found to be present if and when a project is actually developed. The risks and assumptions are described in more detail in the Company's Annual Information Form, audited financial statements and MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2010 on the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com. The Company does not assume the obligation to revise or update these forward-looking statements after the date of this news release or to revise them to reflect the occurrence of future unanticipated events, except as may be required under applicable securities laws. Note to US Investors This press release has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws. Information contained in this press release may contain descriptions of the Company's mineral deposits that may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements under the United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. | |

text: This color was LE for Valentine's Day. It's a light creamy pink with very little gold frost. On me it looks like a "modern version" of the pink lipstick women wore in the 60's. Maybe just a little darker. Not my favorite color, but it's not a bad formula at all. It feels creamy on and doesn't dry out the lips. Lasts for 6 hours and requires some touch-ups. Has no scent.

Hi, First, thanks from a lurker for all of the wonderful information about honed Virginia Mist granite. I went with it for our kitchen remodel (during which we took down a wall and installed a breakfast bar countertop). The Montauk Black slate floor is new too. See attached pictures. Now the question: What should I do for a backsplash? I had picked out a polished Carrara marble subway tile, but my wife thought it was too much patterning with the granite. So, suggestions? Small additional detail: We *might* one day repaint the cabinets white when the appliances go and we can replace them with stainless. Any help will be much appreciated. Currently leaning toward a very light gray glass subway tile to match the granite's veining, but ... we're very open to suggestion. |

Love Virginia Mist and it looks great with your floor. I like the idea of a gray glass. Here's an example of a really soft light gray: I couldn't imbed so here's a link. I like the idea that it's a larger format... personal preference thing. |
Here is a link that might be useful: gray tile

Read the "new to kitchens...." thread posted by buehl and it will tell you how to put as many photos as you want in a post. Nice granite and floor! |
Beautiful counters! Before I even read the post - I thought of a light gray backsplash so if you can find the right glass, it would be great! |
- Posted by SparklingWater (My Page) on Mon, Mar 11, 13 at 22:56
Very lovely. I could see a light green glass or subway with your cabinets and honed Virginia Mist and floors. A soft blue is a possibility too if you don't favor green. |
Thanks for all the comments and suggestions so far, everyone. I'm definitely leaning toward a light gray glass subway tile at this point, maybe with a slight bit of blue in it, but I figure I'll wait a couple of days and see if any more good ideas pop up here. And for what it's worth, we really, really like the honed Virginia Mist! |
It would help to know your budget and paint colors. Are you planning to keep the yellow in the hallway? If so, you may want to choose a warm grey tile. |
I thought gray too until I saw your floor. I think this will be too much gray I would do a simple white with a gray grout, or a white beveled with white grout. |
Hi, Love your Jet Mist counters and Montauk Black slate floor. Ithink a greeny blue glass tile would look nice. I am also doing a Montauk Black slate floor; what did you use to seal your floor? I like that the sealer didn't make the floor look solid black, leaving gray tones. Thanks, |
Beautiful granite and floor, wow! I love glass tile, so I have an easy time going along with that recommendation. I agree with the idea of soft grey or even a frosted white glass. Greenish or blueish could be fun too. Check out Amandasplit's contemporary kitchen reveal for an icy green-blue. Frosted glass would mimic the soft look of the honed granite, so that might be cool. Thanks for sharing your progress pics! |

I love your kitchen so far! The honed virginia mist and slate floors are stunning. I really like your cabinets too. I know you said you might just paint the cabinets, but I sort of hope you don't. Your kitchen looks custom and gorgeous with the cool granite and slate with the warm wood cabinets. My first thought backsplash-wise was something medium-light gray as well. I think the marble reads that way from a distance and would probably work. Though I personally would probably opt for something with less pattern to keep your beautiful counters as the showcase. |
mjocean, I'll dig through my notes and will report back about the sealer. I know we went back and forth a bit because we didn't want to change the color of the tile or the grout. We went through a similar process with the granite and, after a lot of research, ended up with two coats of 511 Porous Plus. |
Rob, Thanks, I really appreciate it; we really want to maintain the natural color of the slate and yours looks gorgeous! |
Hi Rob, It's MJOcean again. Sorry to be pesky, but I'm very interested in the name of the sealer you used for your slate floor. I really love how your floor looks finished with the sealer and we will be ready for sealer within the week. Thank you, MJ |

a2gemini, I really like the second picture you posted. What product is that? MJOcean: Sorry for the delay. I though I still had the empty bottles, but it turns out I don't. I have a call out to my contractor, and he'll be able to tell me. I know it was a DuPont product, StoneTec I believe, but I will report back when I know for sure. |
Rob- it is grazia melange series. Several stores carry it - one is www.tile-shop.com. I could only locate it on the east and west coasts. |
Hi Rob, Thank you so much! I very much appreciate your willingness to go the extra mile to find out the name of the product. I'll look forward to your reply. |
Those are some of the prettiest pieces of Virginia Mist that I've ever seen, just exquisite! I love the idea of a light gray backsplash, but I wonder about the high gloss of glass against that counter. It could be stunning contrast, and a soft matte look could be nice, too. A second here to Karin_mt's idea for the frosted white glass. |

Rob, I'm thinking about getting honed VA mist for our kitchen (yours looks beautiful), but I heard that honed granite is more porous and more prone to stains/fingerprints. Do you find that to be the case? Thanks. Gina |

Thousand Islands
Aerial view of Indian River Lagoon, Florida. The Thousand Islands sit within the Banana River portion Indian River Lagoon.
We brought our passion for conservation to our work in Florida's Thousands Islands, a place where, according to Cocoa Beach Mayor Skip Beeler, "people of all ages are reminded of the magic of nature." Thanks to the Fund and a team of public and private partners, in 2008 the Thousand Islands was protected in its entirety.
The Thousand Islands sit within the Banana River portion of Indian River Lagoon—one of the nation's most biologically diverse bodies of water, boasting more than 2,100 varieties of plants and over 2,200 species of animals. The lagoon's ocean beaches also support one of the densest sea turtle nesting areas found in the western hemisphere.
This property ranked as a high conservation priority for the state of Florida, not only because of its ecological value, but also because it was surrounded by protected land. The property consists of a mixture of islands, fragile sea grass meadows and mangrove forests that provide habitat for manatees, dolphins, marine fish and shellfish and a diverse bird population, including pelicans, egrets, osprey and ibis.
The Conservation Fund facilitated the sale of nearly 280 acres of wildlife habitat and recreation waters from private landowners to Brevard County, which used funds from its Environmentally Endangered Lands (EEL) program for the purchase. Additional funding came from the Florida Communities Trust state grant program and the city of Cocoa Beach. The protected property will become part of the county's EEL preserve system and will be open to the public for paddling, wildlife viewing and fishing.

Dolphy, Zsa Zsa still hoping to tie the knot
August 16, 2008
Dolphy reveals that he is willing to marry Zsa Zsa Padilla, mother of his youngest daughters, Nicole and Zia. They have been living together for the past 20 years.
It's Zsa Zsa, according to Dolphy, who has a problem. Zsa Zsa's marriage to her former husband, dentist Modesto Tatlonghari, has yet to be annulled. This was the reason, if you recall, why some years back their supposed wedding in Las Vegas didn't push through.
Dolphy has 16 other children with different mothers, while Zsa Zsa has Karyle, with her former husband.
Dolphy and Zsa Zsa are keeping their fingers crossed that they will still get married.
In his book, "Hindi Ko Ito Narating na Mag-isa," Dolphy revealed that he has two women who have the same surname Smith. They have the same nickname, too. That's why, he said, he had to give them "code names."
He decided to call Baby Smith No. 1. Baby's real name is Alice Smith. When she became Dolphy's leading lady in a movie, she used the screen name Pamela Ponti.
Baby is the mother of Eric, Epy, Ronnie and Madonna, all surnamed Quizon.
"Wala akong anak na 'di Quizon ang apelyido," stated Dolphy, "Wala rin akong hindi kinikilala sa kanila. I also love them all."
The other Baby Smith's real name is Gloria Smith. He calls her Gloria. Yes, to the very end of their relationship.
Gloria is the mother of Kit, Dino and Edwin.
Both Alice and Gloria are now based abroad. Alice is with Donna, while Gloria is with her three kids.
Now here's the rub. Like Dolphy, Vic Sotto (with whom Dolphy is appearing with in the movie, "Dobol Trobol, Redi to Rambol)" also has two girls (in his life) with the same name.
Before Pia Guanio, the current Pia in his life was also a Pia. He was linked romantically to director Danny Cabrera's daughter, Pia Cabrera.
Pia C., who used to be a ramp and commercial model, is now reportedly working in Dubai.

I hate to see a kat/xin on the enemy team.
I hate Teemo, just because he can kill you without being there. I remember one of my friends getting a penta just because the enemy was trying to gank through our jungle where he set up COUNTLESS, I MEAN COUNTLESS amounts of shrooms then went afk to grab some munchies. It was hilarious, but totally stupid. Aside from that, no one else can really irk me. Maybe Karthus, but I play Riven a lot (or other people with spell shields/shields) and her shield can withstand most of the damage if I'm doing decent.
I personally don't think that there are any OP champions. Any champion that you think is OP just play them a few games and you'll learn why you thought that and what you can do to counter them. I do think there are strong champions such as Garen top who are just hard to counter or Teemo
Teemo because he can ward the entire map with high damage traps that last 10 minutes and are stealthed.
master yi and darius are the most op
Singed is op... better nerf irealia too Lol
Kind of depends on the skill of the person playing. Low skill- Darius. Anybody can press E-Q-R, but he is easily countered. If not countered though, he can be so much trouble. Jungle Darius is absolutely broken against people that push and don't take advantage of his lack of mobility (i.e. people with no map awareness i.e...e? unskilled players) Middle skill- Yorick. 108 champs in the game that aren't yorick. Seems he counters them all doesn't it. Even if you zone him he zones you... Ghoulception? High skill- Vayne. If you can keep up with farm and not die until level 6, there you go. She snowballs by just keeping up. Her ability to kite around can allow her to 1v5 even if she gets one shotted, because lets be honest, a good vayne doesn't simply...get hit.

I bought some dwarf irises and planted them in pots on the balcony last fall. They were doing well as they began to pop from the pots with green foliage. Then I noticed that the tips were yellow and the foliage looked withered. I realized that my BF was over-watering them and they were sitting in water because I was able to pluck the foliage out. Well, as you may imagine, I was upset and annoyed. My question is, are the iris bulbs done for? Or can they be salvaged? Or will it continue to grow? I also considered digging out the bulbs and see what condition they're in. Any advice? |

They may have rotted. They should not be planted below the surface of the soil either, so if you cannot see the rhizomes, they were planted too deeply. I would dig them up, and if you see black or brown rot, you can cut the rotted part off, let what's left of the rhizome dry out at the cut, then replant with the rhizome at the soil's surface so its back shows, and water sparingly. You may be able to bring them back, but they won't bloom this year. |

Thank you @hosenemesis for your response and advice. I will see how badly the rhizomes are affected. What should I do about the other pot of irises that seem to be doing ok? should i dig them up and plant them closer to the surface? |
- Posted by hosenemesis SoCal Sunset 19 USDA (My Page) on Wed, Apr 3, 13 at 23:54
I wouldn't bother- you can scoop out some of the dirt at the top if you wish, but I wouldn't disturb the roots. Good luck! |
- Posted by ladyrose65 6bNJ (My Page) on Wed, Apr 17, 13 at 21:51
I planted mine too deep, out of 12 i got 5 sprouting. I followed a YouTube video on how to plant them. (I won't do that again!) |

- LilMynx.com – their static pole is probably one of the most popular choices on the market, available starting at $199.
- Platinum Stages – carries unique "stand alone" stages, these are a high class product on the luxury end of pricing.
- X-Pole – offers the best deals for customers in the UK and world wide, due to shipping costs anyone outside of the United States will likely find the best deals at Xpole overall.
>>> Click Here For Great Deals On The Best Dancing Poles<<<<
Using dance poles to keep fit seems to have become somewhat of a craze, which is hardly surprising seeing the sport has some rather major fitness benefits to be had from it. A combination of modern dance, ballet, and also gymnastics – dancing on a pole actually requires the use of some rather strong muscles in most places on the body. It could prove to be the most enjoyable workout you've ever had!
A common feature in dance clubs, night clubs, dance studios, and fitness classes – dance poles can be freestanding, permanent, or transportable pressure installed.
Club employees or exotic dancers are the people most often using stripper poles. However, many non-professional dancers looking for an intense exercise routine or a little exotic flair purchase setups to install at home. In some communities, classes are offered at area gyms and studios.
Many people don't realize that pole dancing poles come in a variety of styles and designs, each of which has a specific use. Pole dancing can be a fun activity that provides a great workout, or it can be part of a romantic evening, some people even make a career of being a dancer.
The first step in finding the best pole dancing poles is to make sure and find the proper dancing pole for your personal preferences and planned areas of usage.
Portable Poles
Portable dancing poles are ideal for almost eveyone. The best portable dance poles can be set up in nearly any room in just a few minutes and taken down when not in use. Depending on the type of portable dancing pole you choose, some do not even require the use of screws, nails or any type of anchoring equipment, as the pole is held in place similarly to the design of a shower curtain rod or with a portable stage.
Quality, well-constructed portable dancing poles easily hold dancers – male or female – of any size and are usually made of sturdy stainless steel.
Portable dancing poles are the perfect option for anyone who wants to use their pole recreationally or professionally in a variety of locations and who likes the idea of being able to keep it out of sight when not in use.
Spinning Poles
Spinning dancing poles add a fun and more advanced exotic twist to pole dancing, by allowing the pole to smoothly rotate. This ability opens up a variety of interesting moves and advanced tricks for the pole dancer. Some spinning dance poles are designed so that the pole can be locked for static activity and released for spinning maneuvers.
If one is planning on learning any type of spinning moves on a dance pole, a spinning pole is definitely preferable, as it can help prevent painful friction burns that can result from spinning on a static pole.
Setups For Vaulted Ceilings
A vaulted ceiling does not disqualify a room from hosting a dancing pole. Careful measurements need to be executed in the area of the vaulted ceiling in which the pole will be installed and a custom length pole used.
Special hardware affixed to the ceiling will then allow the dancing pole to be locked securely into place, with the specialized attachment providing the flexibility to accommodate the angle of the ceiling. Vaulted ceilings should only host permanent dancing poles.
Removable Options
Removable dancing poles – also known as semi-permanent poles – are a good option for a situation in which a solid, secured pole is needed, yet the pole also needs the flexibility of being able to be easily removed.
These dance poles require the installation of hardware on the ceiling to be extra secure.
The pole dancing pole is affixed to the hardware, but then can be easily released from that hardware to open up the area of the room. Most manufacturers include cloaking items, such as a faux smoke detector casing, to hide the attaching unit when the pole is not in place.
Removable pole dancing poles are a great option for home use, as well as in bars and clubs that sometimes host pole dancing entertainment, but wish to have the floor space open when the dancing is not taking place.
Brass Dance Poles
Stainless steel is the most common component for construction of pole dancing poles, but brass offers another design option. Brass dancing poles can sometimes be a bit more inexpensive than stainless steel, as brass is a cheaper alloy, but deciding between a brass and stainless steel pole dancing pole is predominately a simple matter of personal preference.
When purchasing a brass pole dancing pole, it is important to make sure that it is solid brass – not plated. A plated brass dancing pole will tend to flake, which can make the grip on the pole unreliable.
Light Up Dancing Poles
Light up pole dancing poles are a great choice for those who want to add a unique element to their workout or performance. Many of the light up poles are powered by LED lights, which can provide a range of different colors. These pole dancing poles are great for any party – or even a playfully intimate setting.
Light up dancing poles require hardware on the top and bottom. They are generally a little more expensive than standard dancing poles, but they offer an aesthetically different experience to the performance.
Options Tailored To Your Needs
There are so many different types of moves and routines that you can be performed even ata competitive level, the activity is now mainstream and extremely popular.
Some models can be bought from most adult stores or enjoy a wider selection right here online, then assembled at home.
Our prices are the best out there, even huge stars like Carmen Electra and Kendra Wilkinson even have their own brand for sale!

The cost of each model varies by material, height and functional features.
Static, permanently attached poles have the lowest cost. Light-up models and self-contained stage kits are the most expensive units.

- Permanently attached stationary poles cost between $250 and $300 depending on the height.
- Permanently attached spinning poles cost from $250 to $300 depending on pole height.

In some cases, a local retailer or supplier may rent dancing poles, stages or lighting accessories. Contact the retailer directly for more information about renting or purchasing dancing poles and their accessories.
Safety First
Using dancing poles safely requires a degree of skill and muscle control. Novices and beginners should use training videos to learn appropriate hand and leg grips, basic moves or starter routines.
Dancing poles can be used for aerobic exercise as well as dancing routines. In night clubs where dancing poles are part of the open dance floor for patrons, users participate at their own risk.
In a private or public performance venue, users should practice techniques before attempting lengthy routines. As with any form of exercise, stretching to prevent injury and proper use is the user's responsibility.
A unique and exotic addition to any club, gym, home studio – routines are designed for entertainment as well as exercise. Both amateurs and trained dancers can learn of various styles and moves.
Learning Moves And Routines
Practice makes perfect when it comes to learning exotic dancing. At first you may feel awkward, maybe even a little embarrassed. This phase will pass when you realize how much of a workout you are getting while pleasing your partner! Endless movements requiring spins, poses, and climbs can prove to be a muscle toning exercise – as well as a fun way to lose weight or impress a romantic partner all at the same time!
Exotic pole dances are just that, it provides for wonderful entertainment for a romantic partner as well as making yourself feel sexy at the same time. The empowerment pole dancing provides can boost ones self confidence as well as feel incredibly sexy. Pole dancing is now seen as a recognized workout and fitness program all over the world.
Fitness And Workouts
You can create your own workout or try one of the many exercise videos available.
A certain degree of flexibility is needed when incorporating moves into your exercise regime or into the bedroom, but thankfully basic routines can be be learned over time with practice by just about anyone.
Using a combination of flexibility, dance, and various other moves you can work out in a way that you also expresses yourself as an art. One of the best parts of using fitness poles as a weight loss regime is that there is no skill or fitness level required prior to starting.
You can be as experienced or as novice as you like and still learn how to participate. You can learn at home with the help of videos, or classes held in your city or town. Whichever way you decide to learn, you will find that it has the potential to completely change your life in more ways than one.
Dancing For Fitness
Pole dancing poles designed for fitness use come in a variety of styles, as many of the different design variations of pole dancing poles can be utilized for fitness training. A dancing pole that is securely fastened to the ceiling is most advantageous for fitness use, particularly if it will be used by novices.
However, portable dancing poles can be used, as long as they are of high quality and locked firmly into place.

Signs Encourage Stair Use
Making News:
Could a simple sign encourage individuals to take the stairs instead of taking the elevator?
According to a report from the American Journal of Preventive Medicine (2012; 42 [2], 136–41), the answer is yes. Researchers observed individuals in three New York City buildings to see if posting signs that encourage stair use would change behaviors. The sites included a three-story health clinic, an eight-story academic building and a 10-story affordable housing site. The researchers observed elevator use versus stair use without signs, and then observed the use again after they had posted signs reading "Burn Calories, Not Electricity." They logged 18,462 observations that included both ascent and descent.
The signs turned out to have a significant impact on the number of individuals who opted to take the stairs. "Increased stair use was seen at all sites immediately after posting of the prompt," the researchers reported. In certain instances, the increase in stair use was as much as 35%. And the positive behavior continued. The study authors reported that "at both sites with long-term follow-up, relative increases were maintained at 9 months after posting compared to baseline."

Consider The Source: North Korea Says It's No. 2 In Happiness
Coming from a country where the leader has been referred to as "the son of God" and where the official news agency has reported about a "mysterious natural wonder" involving a halo at Kim Jong Il's birthplace, this probably shouldn't be too much of a shock:
"China is the world's happiest nation, followed by North Korea, according to recently released North Korean government research." (GlobalPost's The Rice Bowl blog.)
Famine and repression apparently didn't hurt North Korea's standing in the eyes of the "researchers."

SAN DIEGO (AP) - Yonder Alonso scored the winning run when San Francisco second baseman Marco Scutaro couldn't come up with Nick Hundley's grounder, lifting the San Diego Padres to an 8-7 victory over the Giants on Saturday night.
Alonso reached base with his third double of the game, went to third on Jedd Gyorko's single and scored on Scutaro's miscue. The loss is the Giants' fourth straight, and their third extra-inning defeat in four games.
Sergio Romo (1-2) took the loss.
Joe Thatcher (1-0) pitched the 12th inning giving up two hits for the win.
San Diego trailed 5-0 before rallying for six runs in the fourth inning. Alonso and Chris Denorfia each had two-run doubles.

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Missy!
Facts about Missy
- Breed: Chihuahua/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) Mix
- Color: Brown/Chocolate - With Black
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Missy's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Missy is a sweet little girl looking for her furever home. Her brother was adopted but she was left behind because of an old shoulder injury. She has a slight limp but it does not affect her mobility. She is very affectionate and gets along well with other dogs. She's crate trained and walks well on a leash. Missy is about 3 years old and would like nothing better than to be a lap dog. She is on heartworm preventative.
If you are interested in meeting Missy please contact us at 386-236-8529 or 386-846-6114.
Other Pets at Rescued Hearts Animal Shelter
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Missy, a Ormond Beach Chihuahua/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) for sale in Ormond Beach, or seeking a Chihuahua/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) dog from a breeder in Ormond Beach.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Ormond Beach already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Ormond Beach breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Chihuahua/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) breeders who help with Chihuahua/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Ormond Beach paves the way for another one to be saved.

Gen. Powell on CNN
Last night General Colin Powell said the following on CNN's Larry King:
"When I came into the Army in 1958, we had only seen the last segregated unit four years earlier. The country was still a racist place, Jim Crow. But the Army said to me, we're now integrated; that's all there is to that...Powell listen, we don't care where you came from, we don't care your color, we don't care where your parents came from. All we care about is performance."
We agree. Serving in the military should be all about performance. Then why won't General Powell support ending "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," the law that discharges and fires service members not because of their performance but because they're gay or lesbian?
