We began a discussion through our post here (published on 10/11/2015) whether the natural diamonds are really rare or its scarcity is created by cartel of mining companies? Here is the URL for those who may have missed the article http://www.jewellerynetasia.com/en-us/editorial/Blogs/555/6457/are-the-natural-diamonds-really-rare
Miners don't dictate terms now
We tried to contact the heads of some mining companies including De Beers but we did not get any feedback from them on the above question. But some leaders assertively responded to our queries. Let's see what they feel about it.
Are natural diamonds really rare or its production exceeds today's demand?
President of Moscow Diamond Bourse and Chairman of the World Diamond Mark Mr. Alex Popov says, "Indeed the production today exceeds demand for certain categories of diamonds. On the other hand, some sizes and colors are very rare and their prices go up constantly. One has only to look on the recent auction results. The industry faces two choices - to increase demand with clever generic promotion, or to close manufacturing of unprofitable items. Most probably we should do both."
Responding to this question, Vice President of the Panama Diamond Exchange (PDE) Ms. Ali Pastorini says, "I too, read the recent reports of the John Hopkins University study that diamond formation in the very deep Earth may be a more common process than earlier was thought. But what the study never suggested was that there may more viable deposits of gem-quality diamonds than we earlier would have expected."
"The John Hopkins study spoke of geological processes taking place 150 to 200 kilometers below the Earth's surface, whereas the deepest drilling exploration ever made was less than 14 kilometers below the surface, and diamond mines are typically not much more than half a kilometer deep."
"In fact, all reliable research shows that the rate of growth in the supply of natural diamonds is lower that the growth in consumer demand for diamond jewelry. Bain & Co. earlier forecast that demand for polished diamonds will expand by 6.4 percent in terms of value annually over the next decade, with rough diamond supply only growing at a compound annual rate of 2.0 percent globally, and possibly plateauing after 2020."
"And just this past September, Goldman Sachs released a report in which it stated that, from 2017, it expects to a see an acceleration of the trend of demand outstripping supply. This, Goldman Sachs said, will be underpinned by the completion of mining projects currently under development, after which there will no significant increment in supply in the absence of new large-scale deposit discoveries."
"And, even if there is a significant diamond find, let us not forget that it takes about eight years from the time that a deposit is discovered to the point that it comes on line."
"And, even if there is a significant diamond find, let us not forget that it takes about eight years from the time that a deposit is discovered to the point that it comes on line."
Independent gems & jewellery consultant since more than a decade and Quality Assurance Inspector at Zale Corporation since last 9 years, Mr. Sunil Shukla says, "Rough Diamonds are not rare but it's production is controlled by mining companies so that polished diamonds can be sold at good rate and they can get good returns on that."
We further asked them: Is there any cartel of diamond mining companies, which has been creating artificial scarcity of rough by controlling its supply?
Mr. Popov says, "No, there's no cartel whatsoever. Diamond companies are controlled by shareholders who demand return on investment. This in turn makes any cartel unmanageable as the producers have conflicting interests. In a way we see the example of this competition in the recent price reductions."
Ms. Pastorini comments, "While historically De Beers openly controlled rough diamond supply for close to century, it deliberately relinquished that position starting in the year 2000. It remains one of the larger suppliers to this very day, but in 2015 is unlikely to even be the largest, since it will produce less than Alrosa, both in terms of carats and U.S. dollars. And there are other powerful suppliers out there, like Rio Tinto, Dominion, SODIAM, Petra and others."
"But not only does the entry of a more players into the rough diamond market preclude the potential of a cartel controlling supply and prices, so does the way in which diamonds are sold. The days in which De Beers or others can oblige the clients to buy exactly what they are offered are long gone. As we have seen just over the past several months, diamond trading and manufacturing companies are prepared leave goods lying on the table. Once upon a time that simply would not have happened."

As we have seen just over the past several months, diamond trading and manufacturing companies are prepared leave goods lying on the table. Once upon a time that simply would not have happened."
"Rough diamonds increasingly are sold on tender, where the market dictates demand and prices. This, too, suggests that there are no cartels at work," she adds.
Mr. Shukla observes, "There are mining companies (Rio Tinto, Alrosa , De Beers etc.) and they do mining of diamonds and later they are auctioned. But as the demand of polished is less due to many stimulants, diamond manufacturers have reduced polishing rough Diamonds to get the demand of existing stock. So I can say situation right now is reverse."
The situation may have changed now, as they rightly say so that gone are those days when miners used to dictate their terms.

Thanksgiving marks the official start of the holiday shopping season. Although this day is an American holiday there is one thing that should be universal…giving thanks for everything that is good in our lives. We are fortunate to be in an amazing industry with opportunities to grow and prosper at every step. Here are just a few things to be thankful for.
We work with some of the most beautiful and rarest objects on Earth. We routinely handle things that most people may never get to see and even fewer will be able to own. Less than 2% of the women in the world will ever possess a 2 carat diamond, yet for many in our industry it is normal inventory. That places us into an extremely rare group of humans.
We have beauty in our lives on a daily basis. It may be an exotic coloured gemstone, a well-cut diamond, or an example of the fine art of jewellery design. We immerse ourselves with beautiful objects and help our customers bring them into their lives.
Our customers come to see us for their important and joyous occasions. We are with them through all of the stages of their lives; engagements, weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, graduations…the list goes on. We not only share their happiness, we add to it by providing symbols of love that will stay with them for generations.
The jewellery industry requires a vast amount of knowledge. Jewellery is an important part of history and as sales people we get to share those stories. We need to be well versed in a variety of arts and sciences. Gemmologists study minerology, geology, optics, and the scientific process. Bench jewellers know about metallurgy and chemistry. Designers deal with geometry, art- and now days- computer sciences. Every aspect of the jewellery industry requires constant learning.
Our industry gives us the opportunity to travel to all corners of the planet. Some suppliers are in constant motion, visiting clients throughout their territory. Most retail jewellers will travel to out of town or out of country trade shows. Gem dealers often travel to very remote locations in the pursuit of new gems. For many of us, our passports are our most prized possession.
Our industry knows no borders. We get to meet people from all over the world. It helps us grown as individuals, teaching us understanding and compassion. We celebrate all holidays and can share in each other's customs, food, and lifestyles. While the rest of the world seems to be dividing and falling apart, we come together bound by our shared passions for gems and jewellery.
So why not take a few moments before we get slammed with our seasonal rush and reflect on why we are thankful to be in this business.

A key jewellery trend for spring/summer 2016 will be the long-loved floral motif, with bejewelled blooms bringing colour and drama to fine and fashion designs.
While some jewellery trend inspirations lend a curve here or a suggestive twist there, the floral trend is a very literal one. This is a chance to have fun recreating the contents of a florist's shop in metal and gemstones, with big blooms in bright colours.
A ring from the Embracing Flowers collection by Palmiero.
Colour can be brought into the designs in a number of ways, perhaps through the addition of coloured gemstones, such as the pink sapphires used to edge Fei Liu's Orchid Flower ring, or enamel, as used by Shaun Leane to bring the flowers on his Cherry Blossom designs to life. Finnish jewellery maker Kalevala Jewelry has used stained glass to trap the image of flowers inside silver jewels for its My Millefiori collection.
Texture and volume will further bring bejewelled blooms to life. Flora Bhattachary has achieved both with her Jyamiti ring that has a floral design created by hand-carving a hunk of amethyst, while VanLeles' floral earrings stack individual 3D flower shapes together to create a lively loop of pink flowers.
Global jewellery trend analysis service Adorn Insight noted the importance of floral jewels in the coming seasons at a presentation given at London trade show IJL: "Big, bold blooms burst in a riot of colour, and texture with acid green orchids and supersized irises. Create an impression of volume, with gently rippling edges and undulating surfaces, perfect for leaf and petal-based looks. Explore colour in the form of pavé gemstones in graduated hues, enamel embellishment, mixed golds and even colourful titanium flourishes."

Explore colour in the form of pavé gemstones in graduated hues, enamel embellishment, mixed golds and even colourful titanium flourishes."
US jewellery demand continues to make "creeping gains," building on the strong base of demand that has been established over the past five years, the World Gold Council recently said.
For the third quarter of 2015, the US experienced a year-over-year growth of 2 percent to 26.2 tons, according to the WGC's quarterly Gold Demand Trends report. Growth in the sector reflects a continued desire for gold in the 10k and 14k gold, "against a hesitant economic recovery."
In an even brighter spot the report notes that imports of gold outpaced demand as retailers are shoring up their inventories for the upcoming holiday season.
The growth in gold jewellery has been consistent in the US in 2015 with a 2 percent increase in the second quarter of the year and a 4 percent increase in the first quarter.
The US is the third largest market for gold jewellery however it lags far behind the two largest markets, China and India.
Meanwhile, Gold jewellery demand in Europe fell 1 percent as demand was stagnant across most markets, according to the report. Exceptions were France where gold jewellery demand declined 6 percent and Spain where demand grew 5 percent.
Global demand for gold jewellery grew 6 percent year-over-year in the third quarter of 2015 to reach 631.9 tons, marking the strongest third quarter for jewellery demand since 2008, according to the WGC. This compares with a 14 percent decline in demand for the second quarter of 2015.
Lower prices for gold in July and August attracted consumers to buy gold jewellery, according to the WGC report. This is in strong contrast with a 14 percent decline in global gold jewellery demand in the second quarter.
On a year-to-date basis, jewellery demand amounted to 1,750.2 tons, 3 percent behind the pace of the same period of the prior year.
In India, the world's second largest gold jewellery market, lower prices led to a third quarter demand increase of 15 percent year-over-year in to 211.1 tons. This compares with a 23 percent decline in the second quarter of 2015.
In China, the world's largest gold jewellery market, lower prices and strong Valentine's Day sales lifted consumer consumption in the third quarter as gold jewellery demand grew a modest 4 percent, year-over-year, to 187.6 tons.
Meanwhile, jewellery demand in Hong Kong grew 22 percent to 13.7 tons, primarily due to higher-design, unique pieces, popular with mainland Chinese tourists.
Other markets are as follows:
* East Asia - Jewellery demand made double-digit gains in Indonesia, South Korea and Vietnam, assisted by the falling price, while demand in Singapore and Malaysia declined by 24 percent and 10 percent, respectively.
* Turkey - Demand fell 29 percent year-over-year to 12.1 tons, the lowest third quarter ever, according to WGC records, due to "political instability and the rising threat of terrorist attacks."
* Middle East - Minor gains in Saudi Arabia and Egypt cancelled out slight declines in Kuwait, United Arab Emirates and other Gulf countries, WGC said. The exception was Iran, where jewellery demand rallied by 40 percent to almost two-year highs "boosted by the signing of the nuclear deal."

Contact information is perhaps the most important part of marketing or advertising. Without a way for a customer to take action, all of your efforts are for nothing. Yet surprisingly, this is one area that often is overlooked.
About 30 years ago a company had one of the most brilliant advertising concepts that became one of a total failure. I don't remember the company's name or what they sold. It may have been jewellery findings. They took an expensive full page ad in a national magazine targeting amateur lapidaries and jewellery makers. In the ad they listed phone numbers for some of the most important people in the world; the President of the United States, the Pope, the Queen of England and about a dozen more. They ended the ad with the phrase: "But when you need jewellery findings, call us." However there was one small problem. Nowhere in the as was a single mention of their phone number! The ad ran for more than 3 years before they caught the mistake.
Today ease of contact is more important than ever. Modern consumers live in the moment and want to be able to take action immediately. If they can't do it easily they will move on to someone else and you may have lost them forever.
This is an acronym that should be at the top of your mind while doing any marketing. It stands for: Why Are You Making It So Hard? If you make it difficult or cumbersome to contact you, they won't do it.
Almost all websites have a contact page. Most are simply a listing of phone numbers or email addresses. That is fine and every website should have it. Others use complex forms to be filled out that require the customer's contact information and even some demographics. The worst may include a security feature like Captcha where you must enter a series of numbers or answer a simple question to prove you area real human being. The more effort a consumer needs to make, they are less likely to contact you.
In addition to a contact page, your email address and phone number needs to be prominent on every page. It is best if they are active links so making contact is a one click operation. This is even more important when viewed on a mobile platform. Most smartphones can recognise phone numbers and email addresses and initiate instant contact so be sure your information is visible on every page. You want them to be able to take action when their interest is at its peak. You print ads also need to have clear contact information to include your physical address, website, email and phone number.
Make it easy for you potential customers to visit your physical location. Every website and print ad needs to have a map. Google maps are the easiest to use. You webmaster should be able make the map into a hot link that will open a smartphone's GPS mapping app to provide instant directions from their location to yours. A QR code on you print ad can perform the same function.
Even if you are positive you have you contact info everywhere it needs to be, taking a little time right now to verify it can set your mind at ease. Check every page of your website on both your desktop and you mobile platforms. Click on all contact links to be certain they work. You don't want to discover problems after the holidays, or even worse, a few years from now.

Background: In this day and age of pithy copy, MIT Technology Review prefers to deliver long-form articles that span upwards of 10,000 words and explore from multiple perspectives how the world is shaped by technology. Founded at MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1899, the 116-year-old magazine derives its authority from the country's foremost technology institution and from its editors' deep technical knowledge, economic savviness and unparalleled access to top innovators.
"We're very international in our approach to technology. We cover all of tech, which is very rare," said editor in chief and publisher Jason Pontin. Indeed, MIT Technology Review is available in six languages across 147 countries. Unlike many trade and consumer technology magazines out there, the publication is run as a nonprofit and not advertiser-driven. In recent years, the magazine has evolved its approach to give way to frank economic and moral conversations. For instance, the May/June 2015 issue tackled the topic of engineering the perfect baby. The story identified the key players in the development of human germ-line editing, imagined a world in which the wealthy population could have "designer babies" and probed what the technology could mean for human evolution.

The workers at the Woodfin Suites Hotel in Emeryville have had to fight hard for their rights against an intractable employer one with a history of harassment and denying them proper pay but the workers could be on the verge of yet another small victory.
The Emeryville City Council could decide Monday, Dec. 1 whether to award about $200,000 in back wages owed to the workers, thus potentially touching off yet another chapter in a long legal battle pitting local workers and voters against a conservative, out-of-town hotel owner.
This case stems from Measure C, a living wage ordinance passed by city voters in November 2005 that was aimed at hotel housecleaners. The measure requires that hotels pay all employees a minimum wage of $9 per hour and overtime pay for workers who clean more than 5,000 square feet of floor space.
Brooke Anderson, executive director of the East Bay Alliance for a Sustainable Economy (EBASE), said the measure came about after talking to housekeepers who complained about the long hours and stressful workloads. EBASE, an Oakland community-organizing nonprofit, ran the campaign to pass Measure C along with UNITE-HERE Local 2850 and the Alameda Central Labor Council.
Rosa, a Woodfin employee who asked not to be identified, has cleaned the hotel's luxurious suites for three years. She said that prior to Measure C's implementation, she struggled to complete her daily workload. "It was an excessive amount of work. If we didn't finish, we had to clock out and work without pay."
Through communication with the workers after the measure went into effect Dec. 5, 2005, EBASE found that Woodfin and the Marriott Courtyard Hotel were not in compliance. "We had workers start taking journals down saying, 'I cleaned this many rooms today, what I should have been paid was X, what I did get paid was Y'," Anderson said.
By fall 2006, Woodfin and Marriott workers went public with their complaints, "essentially blowing the whistle on their hotels' not complying with the law," Anderson said.
Both groups of workers testified before the City Council. Marriot quickly came into compliance, raising wages across the board and paying back wages for the year spent out of compliance. Woodfin slowly came into compliance, dropping the room load from about 17 to around 9 over the next three months.
Yet in June 2007, city officials found that Woodfin owed about $250,000 in back wages. The hotel appealed the ruling, arguing that Measure C was unconstitutional. In April, the Alameda Superior Court ruled that the law is constitutional and that the city of Emeryville has the right to demand back wages, but it took issue with the methodology used to calculate the owed amount. The judge ordered the city to revise its back wage order and hold another hearing.
The city reissued its order in August, calling for around $200,000 in back wages. Woodfin appealed the ruling; a first hearing was held Nov. 17, and a final decision is expected Dec. 1.
Woodfin's argument this round, according to spokesperson Tim Rosales, is that Emeryville did not clarify its requirements until 2007 so the company cannot be held accountable for regulations it believed it was complying with. Rosales said the city passed "implementing regulations" in 2007 and "tried to retroactively apply those 2007 rules to 2006."
"It would be as if the IRS applied this year's tax increases to last year's taxes and asked you to pay the difference," he said. Additionally, Woodfin cleans each large suite with a team of housekeepers, making it difficult to calculate individual square footage.
EBASE counters that Woodfin purposely ignored Measure C's regulations, which it vehemently opposed during the election.

Is Hyoscyamine sulfate sublingual a narcotic?

No, hyoscyamine is not a narcotic but you could put it in the safe because taking too much of any medicine may be abuse.
Hyoscyamine produces many effects in the body, including relief from muscle spasms.
It also reduces the fluid secretions of many organs and glands in the body, such as the stomach, pancreas, lungs, saliva glands, sweat glands, and nasal passages.
Hyoscyamine is used to treat many different stomach and intestinal disorders, including peptic ulcer and irritable bowel syndrome. It is also used to control muscle spasms in the bladder, kidneys, or digestive tract, and to reduce stomach acid. Hyoscyamine is sometimes used to reduce tremors and rigid muscles in people with symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
Hyoscyamine is also used as a drying agent to control excessive salivation, runny nose, or excessive sweating.
Thank you very much for your answer to my question about Hyoscyamine. It was very helpful.

Welcome to Dogs of War, a singleplayer-focused modification for the PC game Battlefield 2 (A.K.A. BF2). The focus of this modification is to rework DICE's original game into a fast-paced, singleplayer-only game with completely new sounds, effects, and textures, as well as many new weapons and vehicles. You'll also experience fast-paced gameplay on foot against bots, with guns blazing all around. Decimate your computer-controlled enemies with a F-14 Tomcat or pick them off with an AS-50. The newest version of Dogs of War in development (yet to be released) will feature tons of new content, such as the deadly Russian SKS and FN-FAL, the formidable M48 and T-55 tanks, and much more. All with top-knotch animations, sounds, and effects.
The first version of DoW had a shortage of new land vehicles. While it still kind of does, there are several from the USI and IDF:FFI mods that I've gotten permission to use.

The first version of DoW had a shortage of new land vehicles. While it still kind of does, there are several that I've gotten permission to include in Dogs of War.
Because the M6 was given more of an anti-vehicle roll since it wasn't very good at taking out aircraft, the US/EU were left with out an anti aircraft vehicle. Which is why I've gotten the M163 from the USI mod.
The shilka, ever since seeing it first in the Desert Combat mod for BF1942 I've fallen in love with it. It replaces the Tunguska as the MEC and Rebels Anti aircraft-and-almost-everything-else vehicle. From the USI mod.
With the inclusion of a rebel faction, I needed some more vehicles that would be more appropriate for a 3rd world dirt poor peasant militia of sorts. I chose the T62 as their main tank because it's likely they are everywhere, and readily available to be captured. From the USI mod.
Also for the rebel team, the T55. An old tank which is outclassed by probably everything else by now, so it fills the new "light" tank class. From the IDF:FFI mod.
The m48 Patton. It's an old relic that has had lots of time to find it's way all over the world. A good addition to the mod to help fill out the "light" tank class. From the IDF:FFI mod.
The last new vehicle I have to show, is likely the most deadly one. The mighty IS3. Like the M48, it's old and has had plenty of time to get around. But unlike the M48, it has a very large cannon and is well armored, making it perfect for a new "heavy" tank class. From the IDF:FFI mod.
/me zorgasims
now we need a server! so I have a place to run people over in my is3 >:) muhahahaha
Everything looks really nice. Would be great if you could replace ami Abrams/hmmwv/lav25/bradley with the Usi ones aswell. They are just so much better in terms of quality, accuracy/ detail and looks.
yeah, FINALLY VADS AND SHILKA!!!
maybe the best BF2 vehicles I've ever seen.
Remember guys, these are vehicles donated from the US Intervention (released) and IDF: Fight for Independence (unreleased, I am the lead dev) modifications.

The Bowl Championship Series title game was a dud, but at least Brent Musburger helped make it entertaining by fawning over A.J. McCarron's girlfriend, Katherine Webb. Ryan Parker has put it all to song, and the lyrics are available at his site.

Only the third entry in the franchise as it gives promise of a potentially prominent gang bang series. The lovely duo this time around in this gang fuck film are Casey Calvert and Holly Heart! read the reviewI Like Black Boys 12 (2.5 stars from 1 review)Starring: Tony Eveready, Wesley Pipes, Missy Monroe, Jason Brown, Violet Monroe, AJ Applegate, Marley BlazeStudio: Devil's FilmRelease date: 6/23/2014Previews: Movie TrailerI Like Black Boys 12 reviews: astroknight review on 9/2/2014 This is an okay at best movie. AJ Applegate and Missy Monroe do a good job, but overall the movie seems completely uninspired and a bit lazy. The technical aspects are fairly average and there is a decent bonus scene to help out the extras, but this is still a low level rental. read the reviewI Like Black Boys 10 (4.0 stars from 1 review)Starring: Wesley Pipes, Julius Ceazher, Lizzie Tucker, Penny Pax, Jodi Taylor, Lilith LustStudio: Devil's FilmRelease date: 10/7/2013Previews: Movie TrailerI Like Black Boys 10 reviews: astroknight review on 10/17/2013 This is a solid interracial release. The setups are light and fun, and the girls obviously enjoy black dick. Jodi Taylor, Lilith Lust, Lizzie Tucker, and Penny Pax all turn out solid scenes, and there's nicely done technical aspects and some hot extras to help out the overall DVD. This one's worth the purchase. read the reviewGangland Cream Pie 27 (3.0 stars from 1 review)Starring: Wesley Pipes, Lee Bang, Jon Jon, Hooks, D Snoop, Jason Brown, Maia Davis, Jodi Taylor, Heidi Hollywood, Isiah MaxwellStudio: Devil's FilmRelease date: 8/26/2013Gangland Cream Pie 27 reviews: astroknight review on 8/29/2013 This is a pretty good interracial cream pie release. Maia Davis, Heidi Hollywood, and covergirl Jodi Taylor all take the black cock very well, and each take three nice loads between their pussy and ass. The technical aspects are good, but sadly there's no real effort put into the extras. This one's a solid rental, but if you're a fan of interracial cream pies it might be worth the purchase. read the reviewDevil's Gang Bang, The: Lisa Ann Vs. Chanel Preston (4.0 stars avg from 3 reviews)Starring: Lisa Ann, Mark Davis, Evan Stone, John Strong, Mark Anthony, Wesley Pipes, Mr. Pete, Marcus London, Julius Ceazher, D Snoop, Danny Wylde, Davie Drehyden, Bill Bailey, Chanel PrestonStudio: Devil's FilmDirected by: Jim PowersRelease date: 7/25/2013Previews: Movie TrailerDevil's Gang Bang, The: Lisa Ann Vs. Chanel Preston reviews: bono-ONE review on 12/28/2013 A gang bang film released through Devil's Film this past year starring two strong performers, Lisa Ann & Chanel Preston. The ladies more than kept up with what their male costars dished out. Plenty of dick sucking and lots of pussy and ass fucking. The ladies also do double penetrations during their respective scenes with Chanel going two steps further adding double anal and double pussy in her scene. Fans of either girl who like seeing them with multiple guys should have a look at this show. read the reviewastroknight review on 8/20/2013 This one's a must buy for gangbang fans. Lisa Ann is every bit as solid as one would expect, and Chanel Preston is nothing short of amazing. The technical aspects are nicely done with a few artistic touches to help out the movie, but sadly there's no real effort put into the extras to help out the overall DVD. Don't let that stop you, as this is easily one of the best gangbang releases of the year. read the reviewBlacksheep review on 8/17/2013 Lisa Ann and Chanel Preston are sisters who die in a car crash. Lisa is the "good" one but accidentally gets sent to Hell, while Chanel is the sinner who ends up in Heaven with the Saints and Angels (and fucks them). An entertaining storyline and solid performances from two of the top names in the Jiz Biz. read the reviewI Like Black Boys 9 (2.0 stars from 1 review)Starring: Tony Eveready, Wesley Pipes, Riley Reid, Alice Frost, Aria Austin, Andrea SkyStudio: Devil's FilmDirected by: Jim PowersRelease date: 7/8/2013Previews: Movie TrailerI Like Black Boys 9 reviews: astroknight review on 7/21/2013 This is a pretty average release. Riley Reid does a good job taking on Wesley Pipes, but move of the release seems by the numbers without a lot of chemistry. The technical aspects are slightly above average, and there's no real effort put into the extras. This one's a rental at best. read the reviewMy New Black Stepdaddy 14 (3.5 stars from 1 review)Starring: Sean Michaels, Wesley Pipes, Amber Rayne, Jason Brown, Jennifer White, Katie St. Ives, Giselle Leon, Dirk HugeStudio: Devil's FilmRelease date: 5/13/2013Previews: Movie TrailerMy New Black Stepdaddy 14 reviews: astroknight review on 6/7/2013 If you're looking for interracial action with an extra twist, this is a great release to pick up. There's a nice mix of sex with facials, anal, and a cream pie mixed in, and the cast does a great job playing with the taboo family theme. The technical aspects are solid, but unfortunately there's no real effort put into the extras to help out the overall DVD. This is a very solid rental, and if you're a big fan of the stars or theme here might even be worth the purchase. read the reviewGangland 84 (3.5 stars from 1 review)Starring: Mark Anthony, Brian Pumper, Hooks, D Snoop, Cici Rhodes, Jodi Taylor, Bambi DiamondStudio: Devil's FilmRelease date: 4/26/2013Previews: Movie TrailerGangland 84 reviews: astroknight review on 5/16/2013 This is a hot interracial release as long as you're not expecting more than three guys taking on one woman. Jodi, Cici, and Bambi all do a great job taking on the three guys and giving up all their holes, as well as all of the girls taking facials and Bambi taking a nice anal cream pie. The extras are a bit weak and the technical aspects are a bit hit or miss, but this is still a hot interracial release that should more than please fans of interracial anal action. read the reviewGangland 81 (4.0 stars from 1 review)Starring: Lou CharmelleStudio: Devil's FilmRelease date: 3/12/2012Previews: Movie TrailerGangland 81 reviews: The D-Man review on 4/20/2012 If two's company and three's a crowd, then four is...a gangbang. In particular, were talking about and IR gangbang, where each of the three chicks herein ends up getting her holes filled by three guys. read the reviewGangland 75 (3.5 stars from 1 review)Starring: Black Angel, Jessy Brown, Aleska DiamondStudio: Devil's FilmRelease date: 10/25/2010Previews: Movie TrailerGangland 75 reviews: The D-Man review on 5/17/2012 Its the power of three...as in three IR scenes in which some hot porn starlet takes on three guys. read the reviewGangland 73 (5.0 stars from 1 review)Starring: Wiska, Angel Rivas, Olga BarzStudio: Devil's FilmRelease date: 1/23/2010Previews: Movie TrailerGangland 73 reviews: EuroBabeLover review on 1/12/2011 From the movie cover: Follow these three stunning super-sluts as they find themselves in situations that call for extreme action! They are surrounded by extremely huge, thick black cocks! But for these nasty nymphos it's perfect because they all need giant black cocks like fat girls need cake! Watch as these sexy ladies push their bodies to the limits only in Gangland. read the reviewGangland Cream Pie 20 (4.0 stars from 1 review)Starring: Kim, Alisa, JennStudio: Devil's FilmRelease date: 9/26/2009Previews: Movie TrailerGangland Cream Pie 20 reviews: JC review on 11/25/2012 Attractive MILFS get abused by a gang of large-cock Brothas, with each girl inviting the abuse. read the reviewGangland 70 (3.5 stars from 1 review)Starring: Kaci Starr, Emma Heart, Tatiana KushStudio: Devil's FilmRelease date: 8/24/2009Previews: Movie TrailerGangland 70 reviews: Rosco Fuji review on 12/3/2009 Gangland 70 is literally the 70th edition in the series that�s been kicking around since the mid 90�s. The thing about this release is that you know exactly what you�re getting with the series. The set up hasn�t changed over the course of 210 girls. read the reviewGangland Cream Pie 19 (3.3 stars avg from 2 reviews)Starring: Sasha RoseStudio: Devil's FilmRelease date: 5/26/2009Previews: Movie TrailerGangland Cream Pie 19 reviews: Sasha Rose review on 11/6/2010 As in every Gangland episode, one white girl has sex with three black guys and they come inside her at the end. The plot is always the same. read the reviewEuroBabeLover review on 11/2/2010 Sasha is alone in the living room, masturbating with a huge black dildo. Then three black guys come into the room and start touching her, and soon she is on her knees sucking their dicks. Afterwards they take turns fucking Sasha's pussy and ass, which leads in turn to double penetration. At the end, each guy takes his turn ejaculating inside her. read the reviewMonster Black Cocks: Box Set 6-10 (3.0 stars from 1 review)Studio: Devil's FilmRelease date: 2/18/2008Monster Black Cocks: Box Set 6-10 reviews: Dog Style review on 9/12/2009 This is not a box-set with Monster Black Cocks first 6 dvds. It is, instead, a box-set made of other compilations. In this case: Black Gangbangers 7 & 8 - 18 year olds love black cock 9 & 10 - Big Black Meat 10 and Black Cock Stars 4 featuring Lex (Steele) are the films included for your pleasure in this package. That's why I was disappointed in some ways for the content, and therefore, my rating. But it is not that bad, though. Let me explain what can you find here... read the reviewSquirt on My Black Cock 5 (2.5 stars from 1 review)Starring: Leah Luv, Lexi Love, Gwen Diamond, Gia Givanna, Britney StevensStudio: Devil's FilmRelease date: 3/20/2007Previews: Movie TrailerSquirt on My Black Cock 5 reviews: rico shades review on 8/9/2007 Squirt On My Black Cock #5 is a gonzo offering from Devils Films. The cast includes Gia Givanna, Lexi Love, Leah Luv, Britney Stevens and Gwen Diamond. Per the title, the niche is on interracial of the squirting variety. Ive always found this series to be entertaining and on par with the other titles of this genre. Devils tends to shoot a bit more nastier stuff and that always bodes well with the raincoaters. A director credit would've been nice. read the reviewMy First Black Cock 4 (Devil's Film) (3.0 stars from 1 review)Starring: Trinity Post, Rico Strong, Trisha Rey, Gwen Diamond, Brooke Scott, Ethan Hunt, Emma HeartStudio: Devil's FilmRelease date: 3/14/2007Previews: Movie TrailerMy First Black Cock 4 (Devil's Film) reviews: Roger Herraw review on 8/31/2007 This was an average interracial vid from Devil's Film. read the reviewGangland Cream Pie 11 (3.0 stars from 1 review)Starring: Aaliyah Jolie, Aaralyn Barra, Amber RayneStudio: Devil's FilmRelease date: 1/26/2007Previews: Movie TrailerGangland Cream Pie 11 reviews: Rico Shades review on 7/3/2007 Gangland Creampie 11 (Devils Film) features Amber Rayne, Aaralyn Barra and Aaliyah Jolie. This is Devils depiction of hardcore interracial sex shot gang bang style with a creampie twist. All of the girls take on at least three black cocks and there is anal in every scene. This series is not for the feeble of heart when it comes to female talent and these ladies pull off the trick without a hitch. read the reviewBest Of Interracial Cream Pies (4.0 stars from 1 review)Starring: Patricia, Alice, Venus, Kathy Anderson, Ariana Jollee, Victoria Sin, Melissa Black, Christina AgaveStudio: Devil's FilmRelease date: 5/30/2006Best Of Interracial Cream Pies reviews: LXIXTIME review on 6/5/2006 Just a few notes on the "best of interracial cream pies" by Devils Films. I'm not sure about why the crew at Devils Films seems to occaisionally include questionable Fake Cream Pies but anytime I see the jump to new scene and a dick immediately pulling out of pussy and worse a funky looking cum or worst of all the proverbial 1/2 Cup of Elmers Glue Cum drencher stream I know somethings up and its FAKE. Why would anyone hump some great looking babe and then do as fake pie? No big deal because there are eight Hot Babes getting Creampies so a few fakes are not that bad in view of the super hot ones. One of the segments on this film ends with disapointmenting facial hosedown. However there are numerous segments that are fantastic and absolutely outstanding with the camera mans centering the dripping cunts and keeping them centered there. read the reviewGangland Cream Pie 9 (3.8 stars avg from 3 reviews)Starring: Franco Roccaforte, Kid Jamaica, Michelle Wild, Jennifer Stone, Paris LorenzStudio: Devil's FilmRelease date: 5/3/2006Gangland Cream Pie 9 reviews: Europornie review on 2/13/2013 Back in Prague for some gang bang action. This time Kid and Franco are joined by younger bro Mr. Aialas, who looks like a teenager but is as well endowed as his two older mates. Three Czech girls get paired with the three Brazilian guys in this episode: gorgeous brunette Jennifer Stone, undoubtedly the best of them, blonde Paris Lorenz and black-haired Michelle Wild (not the Hungarian of the same name). As usual in the Gangland series, this is no-holes-barred, condom-free sex at its best. read the reviewhowie review on 8/24/2006 Director: None credited Running time: 1:48 Cast listing: Scene 1 Jennifer Stone (1 anal and 2 vag cream pies) Scene 2 Michelle Wild (2 anal and 1 vag) Scene 3 Paris Lorenz (3 vag) My very short review: Gangland Cream Pie 9 follows a simple formula --- pair a Eurobabe with the same 3 black guys Franco Roccaforte, Kid Jamaica and some other dude) who proceed to fuck her in all holes (including DP) and dispense their gooey loads in either the girls pussy or ass. That premise is good enough but keep in mind that the production values in this porno come as basic as you can get. The sex action takes place in simple rooms with little design and a couch for fucking. The above being said, if youre looking for a no-frills, interracial, mini-gangbang porno with cream pie finishes, then this might be a good choice as a rental. The action was decent if not similar across all 3 scenes. read the reviewNutty Buddy review on 6/23/2006 Gangland Cream Pie #9 STUDIO: Devil's Films DIRECTOR:Uncredited CAST:Jennifer Stone, Michelle Wild & Paris Lorenz This series has been pretty consistent as of late. Consistent in a sense that at least one of the scenes truly make the title worth purchasing. In Gangland Cream Pie #8 it was the instatiable Lucy Lee; Gangland Cream Pie #7 it was the award winning Renee Pornero; and the relatively new Belecia saves Gangland Cream Pie #6. The earlier installments are all and all pretty thorough, especially Gangland Cream Pie #3 & Gangland Cream Pie #5. In this particular edition, Jennifer Stone delivers the standout scene. Arguably the best scene in the series so far and easily the best I've seen her. Her first DP was in Christoph's Beautiful Girls #20 so this could be her second, third or fourth experience. Such a pretty young thing being all plugged up at the same time is something to see. Paris Lorenz is new to me but she takes it up the ass with ease so I doubt she's new to this. read the reviewGangland 56 (3.5 stars from 1 review)Starring: Simone Peach, Carmelita, Sunny JayStudio: Devil's FilmRelease date: 3/27/2006Gangland 56 reviews: howie review on 4/12/2006 Director: None credited Running time: 1:52 Cast listing: Scene 1 Carmelita Scene 2 Simone Style Scene 3 Sunny Jay Male performers Franco Roccaforte, Kid Jamaica, & ??? My very short review: Gangland 56 was my first foray into this long-running interracial series. This edition featured an all Euro-cast and starred one of my favorites, Simone Style, who has a body that is divine. Simone is just plain gorgeous and a strong performer who will take it up the ass. Before I expound any further on the sex action, let me point out the low-budget aspects associated with this DVD release: 1. There are just 3 scenes 2. There is no director credited 3. The cast list only lists the girls and not the guys 4. Each of the scenes has the same 3 guys and they are not the best 5. Each scene takes place in the same room and on the same bed 6. Each scene starts with the girl performing a quick tease and then the 3 guys suddenly appear already naked and ready to fuck 7. read the reviewBig Black POV 2 (3.5 stars from 1 review)Starring: Sara, Geana James, Monica Mattos, Rita Stone, Geana Gemes, MiukStudio: Devil's FilmRelease date: 3/20/2006Big Black POV 2 reviews: barrettman review on 4/25/2006 General Impression Two porn genres I like rolled into one : Interracial, and POV. Another aspect to watching a Devil's Film title, is that I get to see some hot Euro babes i'm generally not familiar with, with the exception of Sara, thats the case here. So now onto the sex. Sex Highlights Geana Gemes : Busty ( real ?), zaftig frame. Reminded me of a mocha skinned Ornelia. Noise Alert, be warned, she's a screamer. Doggy vaginal and anal. Cowgirl vaginal, and anal. Spoon anal, mish anal. A2ms'. Oral pop. Not bad. Miuk : Well endowed ( but fake, not a bad job tho'). Curly haired brunette, multi-ethnic cutie.Mish, cowgirl, doggy, and reverse cowgirl vaginal. P2ms'. Mish, doggy, rcg, and cg anal. A2ms'. Had a hard time keeping the man's cock in her ass during rc, kinda funny to watch, finally he's like, 'fuck it', and does her in doggy anal. read the reviewGangland Cream Pie 8 (4.5 stars avg from 2 reviews)Starring: Franco Roccaforte, Kid Jamaica, Carol Weiss, Allyson Moore, Lucy Lee (Czech), Tony BrownStudio: Devil's FilmRelease date: 11/30/2005Previews: Movie TrailerGangland Cream Pie 8 reviews: Europornie review on 2/19/2014 In this special Christmas episode of the infamous Gangland series, three black dudes gangbang czech sluts Lucy Lee, Carol Weiss and Alysson Moore, no holes barred and no condoms used. read the reviewNutty Buddy review on 1/20/2006 Gangland Cream Pie #8 STUDIO: Devil's Films DIRECTOR:Uncredited CAST:Lucy Lee, Carol Weiss, Alysson Moore, Anthony, Kid Jamaica & Franco "Teo" Roccaforte REVIEW: It looks like Anthony is new blood, or perhaps just new to this series. He's a pretty good performer but Wesley fit in better as the little brother. Teo finally lost the shirt. He was probably getting a gut so for the past few editions he's obviously tried to keep it on. Anyway, Lucy Lee is heart achingly hot. Easily one of the best of all time. The guys sit around rambling about santa clause and praying for a present. Lucy appears in front of them. Everything from the groping to the double penetration to the cream pies is pure fire. Must have for fans of Lucy. Alysson Moore is a veteran that doesn't show up in my flicks very often. She can be found in Double Anal Plugged #2, as well as Double Anal Climax #2 & Euro Sluts Vol. 7: Italian Bitch. I like Alysson and the guys do too. Very hot double penetration in this scene. read the reviewGangland Cream Pie 7 (3.0 stars from 1 review)Starring: Renee Pornero, Sandra De Marco, Diana GoldStudio: Devil's FilmRelease date: 11/19/2005Gangland Cream Pie 7 reviews: Nutty Buddy review on 1/20/2006 Gangland Cream Pie #7 STUDIO: Devil's Films DIRECTOR:Uncredited CAST:Renee Pornero, Sandra De Marco, Katie Gold, Kid Jamaica, Wesley & Franco "Teo" Roccaforte REVIEW: The double action--anal packed Renee Pornero scene in Cum Guzzlers #4 really relaxed me as a viewer and reviewer. Prior to that, it was almost like I was refusing to give out five stars. I don't feel the need to scrutinize everything now. 24 hours after I submitted that review, Renee was named performer of the year at the E-Line Awards, formerly known as the Venus awards. She has a ton of interracial material, which appears to be her forte. I really liked Renee's performance here. High energy and real deal orgasms. I was never a real big fan of Sandra De Marco but she has her moments. I've used terms like "plain" and "average" for her but she looks great in Anal Expedition #4, as well as A Load In Every Hole #12 (which I'll review eventually). Diana Gold is sort of the duckling here, but she's involved enough to make the scene watchable. read the reviewSquirt on My Black Cock (3.0 stars from 1 review)Starring: Kay, Cytherea, Missy Monroe, Flower Tucci, Nicki HunterStudio: Devil's FilmRelease date: 11/19/2005Squirt on My Black Cock reviews: UrHardBlackDaddy review on 12/14/2005 Performers: Nicki Hunter, Cytherea, Missy Monroe, Flower Tucci and Kat. What I Liked: Nicki Hunter takes all of the awards in this dvd ... most squirts, volume of squirts and best squirt (a 5 to 10 second contiunous gusher on to her chest and face). I also liked Kat's performance (I didn't know she was a squirter). I not usually into pre-pubescent looking women (Kat would fall into this category), but for some reason, I always enjoy her. What I Didn't Like: Overall the looks of the female performers is lacking ... especially Missy (just NOT attractive at all) and Flower (is it possible for a woman to have more cottage cheese in her ass ... a REAL visual distraction). I guess when you're looking for squirters, you have to take what you can get. By the Way, Cytherea's performance was bone dry ... at least by her standards ... read the reviewPage 1 of 3 2 > Last Page: 1 2 3Current FiltersDevil's Film XAvailable FiltersTrailers (18)CategoryAll Sex (16)Anal (5)Barely Legal (4)Black (2)Box Sets (1)Busty (1)Compilation (2)Cream Pies (9)Foreign (2)Gangbang (27)Gonzo (2)Oral (1)POV (1)Squirting (2)Straight (4)DirectorDick (2)Jim Powers (2)Mike Metropolis (8)Tristan Seagal (1) AdultDVDTalk.com is not a store.

Pub reported for singing Welshmen after England loss
A pub has been rapped by council officials because Welshmen were heard singing after England were defeated in the Rugby World Cup.Read the full story ›
Katherine Jenkins to headline Llangollen 2016
This year's festival is underway this week - and it's just been announced that Katherine Jenkins will open next year's Llangollen Eisteddfod. The mezzo soprano will fulfil a lifelong dream with a performance of the opera Carmen.
The mezzo soprano says she's delighted to return to the iconic festival for the first time in six years.
She will perform a concert version of Georges Bizet's opera Carmen on the opening night of the 2016 Eisteddfod. The opera tells the tale of the downfall of Don José, a naïve soldier seduced by the fiery Gypsy.
I'm really excited as it something I always wanted to do. I studied Carmen at the Royal Academy of Music before I graduated. It's special as it was written for a mezzo soprano.
I've always talked about doing this and it will be the first time fans will be able to hear all the arias in one evening.
I do usually include several operatic arias in my concerts but I have never condensed and performed all the arias from a single opera into one concert.
It's something I'm really looking forward to; it's always been a dream of mine to perform Carmen.
Tickets for the 2016 concert will be going on sale via the Llangollen Eisteddfod's website at 12 noon on Monday July 13.
Fresh inquest into Welsh soldier's death due next year
A new inquest into the death of a teenage soldier from North Wales will be held early next year, a coroner ruled today.
Private Cheryl James, 18 and from Llangollen, died at Deepcut Barracks in Surrey in November 1995.
She was found dead, with a single gunshot wound, in mysterious circumstances.
An open verdict recorded at an initial inquest, held just weeks after her death, has since been quashed.
At a pre-inquest review in Woking today, coroner Brian Barker ruled that the inquest will take place in isolation, despite a request from Surrey Police for it to be held concurrently with those into the deaths of three other recruits at the barracks between 1995 and 2002.
Pte James' family supported that ruling, but say they are "dismayed" that no decision has yet been taken on whether to exhume her body.
They believe the colour of bullet fragments which may still exist in her head could be vital, and prove she did not commit suicide.
Alison Foster QC, representing her family, said: "From our standpoint, an exhumation would be necessary for you to carry out a full and proper inquiry."
The coroner said he would wait for a doctor's report before deciding whether the "difficult and unusual" step should be taken to exhume Pte James' body.
The new inquest is due to begin on 1 February next year, and examine the barracks' policies on sexual behaviour, supervision of young females, drugs, alcohol and accommodation.
Calls for law to 'protect' countryside from off-roaders
A campaign's been launched calling for new laws to help protect the wild uplands of north east Wales from off-roading.
The Llangollen-based 'Save Our Paths' group says the number of off-roaders coming to the region is growing, with paths and countryside being damaged.
Ian Lang reports.
Welsh countryside 'blighted' by off-road drivers
A community in Llangollen say off-roaders are blighting the countryside and causing damage to the environment.
The residents from Pengwern Estate have now started campaign to put an end to motorbikes and 4x4s driving in the area.
The Save Our Path campaign will hold a meeting tonight at the Llangollen town hall in a bid to tackle the problem.
Residents say the noise has made living in the valley unbearable.
Our valley has become unbearable for residents, most particularly at weekends.
Locals have to be on high alert for their safety when walking, cycling or horse-riding around the Pengwern Vale or accessing their properties.

Body of diver found in flooded passage
A diver, pulled from a disused quarry in Llangollen earlier today was reported collapsed or injured beyond a long flooded passage in a disused mine. In a major operation the body was found by rescue divers more than 1,000ft into the sump.
Body recovered from disused quarry in Llangollen
The body of a man has been recovered from a disused quarry in the Llangollen area.
The man, who has yet to be identified but is believed to be from the Leicestershire area, was diving yesterday afternoon with two others at Aber Las in the Natyr area of Llangollen, when he got into difficulties.
Ambulance crew alerted police to the incident after the alarm was raised by the man's co-divers.
"During the early hours of this morning the body of a man was recovered from the disused quarry. The next of kin have been informed. North Wales Police are not treating the death as suspicious at this time however officers will continue to undertake inquiries on behalf of the Coroner. A file will be submitted in due course."
Audience applaud surprise proposal at festival
Festival goers in Llangollen got more entertainment than they bargained for when a Wrexham man proposed to his girlfriend before a concert began.
As an audience of thousands looked on as 28-year-old David Jackson of Ruabon, went up on stage and down on one knee to romantically pop the question to Elise Davies, 26, at the Llangollen International Eisteddfod.
Elise said, "I had no idea David was going to ask me to marry him, especially in such a public place. I was absolutely gobsmacked when he did it and couldn't speak for a few seconds but then I said yes because the whole thing was so romantic."
The couple haven't named the day just yet as they are waiting for their first baby to be born.
Silverback spoon gorilla swings into Llangollen
A three and a half tonne gorilla made from spoons has landed at the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod.
Famous spoon-bender Uri Geller challenged a team at the British Ironworks Centre in Oswestry to make it.
The 12ft-high statue is made from 40,000 items of cutlery and has taken almost five months to build.
The giant silver primate is spending the week at the Llangollen Eisteddfod before starting a UK tour.

This is a tip for all developers, not for BuildMasters only.
The issue is those pre and post-build events that developers use to add any conceivable code… especially code that assume a developer's workstation folder structure.
Such code may break in a TeamBuild for many reasons:
There are some different solutions applicable.
The first one, done by developers on their projects, wrap the code in the pre- or post-build event with a condition, like this:
IF NOT "$(TeamBuildConstants)"=="_TEAM_BUILD_" ( gacutil /i $(TargetFile) /f )
This needs to be done on each project and event but has a very explicit intent; also this is portable to foreseeable versions of Visual Studio and Team Foundation Server.
A second solution is to redefine the CoreBuildDependsOn property via CustomPropertiesForBuild so that PreBuildEvent and PostBuildEvent are left out. Something like this
<PropertyGroup> <CustomPropertiesForBuild> CoreBuildDependsOn= BuildOnlySettings;PrepareForBuild; ResolveReferences;PrepareResources;ResolveKeySource; Compile; UnmanagedUnregistration;GenerateSerializationAssemblies; CreateSatelliteAssemblies;GenerateManifests; GetTargetPath;PrepareForRun;UnmanagedRegistration;IncrementalClean </CustomPropertiesForBuild> </PropertyGroup>
I think of two scenarios where this approach is especially convenient: when you inherit existing code — so called brown field — and need to start control its behavior; or when the build shows weird behavior and you want to troubleshoot its root cause.
Keep in mind that you are touching a reserved property: this may cause problems with Service Packs or new product releases. It is also dangerous if you already use CustomPropertiesForBuild — could be hard to track what happens in the build.
I suggest to use this approach as last resort and for a limited time.
A third solution, requiring a bit more effort, is to rewrite the action as an MSBuild task and leverage the BeforeBuild and AfterBuild targets with an apt condition, like:
<Target Name="AfterBuild" Condition="'$(TeamBuildConstants)'!='_TEAM_BUILD_'> <GacUtil Command="Install" Assemblies="$(TargetFile)" Force="true" /> </Target>
using the MSBuild Community Tasks or, using the MSBuild Extension Pack:
<Target Name="AfterBuild" Condition="'$(TeamBuildConstants)'!='_TEAM_BUILD_'> <Gac TaskAction="AddAssembly" AssemblyPath="$(TargetFile)" Force="true" /> </Target>
As there are lot of built-in and publicly available tasks, this could be an elegant and viable approach.
Happy Building!
UPDATE: the above suggestion works for Visual Studio + Team Foundation Server 2008.
In Visual Studio 2010 and later, the recommended method is to use the predefined property BuildingInsideVisualStudio
IF "$(BuildingInsideVisualStudio)"=="true" ( …your code here… )
Hope this helps.

Lung cancer: coloring Salt Lake City turquoise
Published May 14, 2014 9:42 am
Public health • A bigger risk than breast cancer lurks, national campaign warns.
This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2014, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
The color pink has become synonymous with breast cancer, a threat that most women are keenly aware of by now.
But the cancer that kills more women than any other is lung cancer, which now has its own signature color. Salt Lake City's Energy Solutions Arena glowed turquoise on Tuesday as part of a nationwide push by the American Lung Association to raise awareness and research funds for this hard-to-combat disease.
Anyone can get lung cancer, said Glen Lanham, executive director of the association's Utah chapter. About one in five Utahns diagnosed haven't smoked or were former smokers, he said.
Yet only 1 percent of women surveyed by the association identified lung cancer as being a top concern for them.

Remember Me
Is this election different than past elections, why or why not?
What is the relationship between music and politics - and how, if at all, has this relationship affected your music?
Everything is richer with music in the background. Weddings and funerals and sex and drug use and yes politics. Though there are examples, Bob Marley being the obvious one, of a direct correlation between the two, it's generally an embarrassing joke that people take their political cues from musicians. I mean, not that I'm any good at this, but I make a living jumping around and acting like a 16-year-old. I would be loath to think I had anyone's ear. However, by design of the job, I am delusional every night and think maybe I do have a soapbox and should use it. That borders on the pathetic, case in point: in the '80s all I had to do was say "Free Mandela!" and I was a conscious dub warrior... That being said, I would love to write politically and intelligently, where the songs don't come off like a series of Southeast Portland bumper stickers. Hard to do and I lack discipline. Easier to run around with Immortal Technique blasting out of whatever and hope that covers it.
If you could speak directly to all American voters, what would you say?
You get the government you deserve. If McCain wins this one the only issue will be which motherfucker is holding the marshmallows?
If you've got something to say, let it fly on our Politics Forum...

Why It's So Hard to Get Free Checking (and What to Do About It)
According to a recent survey, 2013 has seen record highs set for the fees that banks charge their customers for ordinary services. But there are ways to avoid them.
According to a recent survey, 2013 has seen record highs set for the fees that banks charge their customers for ordinary services. But there are ways to avoid them.
As a group, teens are failing at financial literacy, and according to personal finance and business education teachers, these are the worst holes in their money knowledge.
Here's a quick rundown from the world of business and economics this morning: the things you need to know, and some you'll just want to know.
90% of American households have at least one checking account. But what we pay for them varies greatly, depending on how they're being used, and which bank people chose.
Banking and managing money isn't what it used to be. The 1970s and 1980s brought us the rise of the ATM -- and the 2010s are shaping up as the era of mobile banking.
If you've just returned to campus, or are off to college for the first time, here are five tips for making the most of your money -- and your undergraduate experience.
Overdraft fees and other insufficient funds charges are taking a big bite out of our wallets. Here are three easy strategies to help you avoid handing that cash to your bank.
The government says consumers who opt for overdraft coverage on checking accounts pay higher fees and are more likely to have their accounts closed than those who decline it.
The end of the year is a good time to give your financial life a once-over and see what changes need to be made. One item not to forget in that review: your bank. Answering these questions will help you determine whether your money is in the right place, or if it's time for a strategic withdrawal.
Truly free checking accounts are becoming rarer as banks add more fees to boost their profits. Among other fees, the average monthly service fee on checking accounts is a record $5.48, up 25 percent from the Bankrate survey a year ago.
Still banking at one of the "too big to fail" institutions? According to Bank Deals blog and DepositAccounts.com, for the best yields on checking, savings and CDs, you'd do better looking locally. For example, consider these three deals available right now.
Savers have taken it on the chin for years, with banks paying almost nothing on checking and savings accounts while charging big fees. So when a new financial website offered a 6% interest rate on an insured savings account, it got a lot of attention.
More people in Southeast don't have bank accounts than in any other part of the country. The state of Mississippi leads the country with more than 16% of households using cash-and-carry for all their transactions. That's a situation that can keep families from climbing the ladder of success.
More than 64,000 of Americans have signed up to participate in "Bank Transfer Day" on November 5. Most will likely fail in their mission to switch to a new bank, according to a report released Wednesday.
With some of the biggest banks raising fees again, many Americans are seriously considering finding new places to keep their money. But with direct deposit and automatic bill pay, moving your checking account can be complex. We talked to a pro for this easy five-step process to handle your bank swap.
CardHub.com recently put five of the most well-known prepaid card issuers under the microscope to see how useful their products are based on fees and features. Which offers the best deal? The answer might surprise you. But the real question is should you use a prepaid card at all.
Picking a bank is a lot like selecting a new paint color for your kitchen. You're going to see a lot of it, and while you can always change your mind if you don't like the one you've chosen, it's a hassle. We asked the experts for advice on how to choose the one best suited to your needs.
The latest entrant into the online financial tools business is Google, which launched Advisor last Thursday. The search engine giant offers a clear way to compare rates and offers from mortgage companies, credit cards and other financial products -- but it's hardly the only smart tool out there.
The era of free checking accounts is coming to an end. Many consumers will face an extra $144 a year in account fees, plus higher dues for their debit cars, and increased ATM charges, too. It's all part of a banking industry backlash against last year's consumer friendly financial reforms.
Bank of America is trying to earn more revenue from its existing customer base by requiring customers to use more products and services in order to avoid monthly fees. If the banks are going to charge you more, you might as well profit from them. Here's how.
Bank of America is now assessing fees to checking account holders who receive images of their canceled checks in the mail along with their...
A college student with a large bank account might be rare, but checking accounts built specifically for students aren't uncommon. Certain student...
Americans have special relationships with their money and their banks. Putting money into a bank account is an act of trust, and it's difficult to...
Free checking is getting harder to come by at some of the nation's biggest banks. Recent regulatory changes have forced banks to be more upfront...
Free checking is becoming an endangered species as banks add fees for basic services or add requirements like direct deposit or high balances.
Adding another twist to the concept of online banking, PayPal has added an iPhone app that allows users to photograph their checks and deposit the funds into their PayPal account, according to an Associated Press report.
You may have noticed the recent headlines, or maybe you learned about it through your own bank: The end of free checking appears to be near. Still,...

I don't think that light from outside is going to be an option in the places I will be shooting this. There are likely to not be any windows at all as it is going to be done in band rehearsal rooms. Have you seen any of these places? I've spent a significant portion of my life in them and they are almost all windowless horrible dumps (or at least the ones my band practices in :-)) So, I don't think the mixed lighting can be avoided completely. I'm going to do a bit of reading about this colour balance business. All your comments have made me a bit more aware of the issues involved in this.

With its harmonious skyline of Baroque domes and spires framed by Alpine scenery, Salzburg is one of Europe's most appealing cities. It has a graceful UNESCO-listed Old Town of cobbled lanes, medieval houses and hidden arcades clinging to the banks of the River Salzach. Towering above it all is the vast Hohensalzburg Fortress, a fascinating mixture of palace and castle, and the city's best-known landmark.
Architecture is far from being Salzburg's only cultural attraction. The city is truly alive with the sound of music (rather than The Sound of Music, whose cult status perplexes the locals), as befits the birthplace and childhood home of Mozart.
Churches, museums and 1,200 year-old restaurants all offer regular concerts throughout the year, and even the Puppet Theatre performs The Marriage of Figaro.
Musically, however, the highlight is the annual summer Salzburg Festival (July 26 to August 31, 2008), a month-long extravaganza of opera and classical performances that attracts the world's top performers.
Exquisite taste in other, less highbrow arenas, all add to the appeal of the city. Its classic cafés - unreformed or glammed-up - are coffee-and-cake heaven with a good dose of people-watching thrown in.
Foodies can choose from Michelin-starred modernity, classic high-style or beer and bratwurst. And if the raucous charm of the traditional beer halls doesn't appeal, there are glossy cocktail bars with their equally sleek clientele for a more sophisticated end to the day.
Getting there
Fly to Salzburg with British Airways (0844 493 0 787, www.ba.com; from Gatwick), Flybe (0871 700 2000, www.flybe.com; from Exeter, Southampton), Ryanair (0871 246 0000, www.ryanair.com; from Bristol, East Midlands, Liverpool, Stansted) and Thomsonfly (0870 1900 737, www.thomsonfly.com; from Bournemouth, Coventry, Doncaster Sheffield, Gatwick, Manchester and Newcastle).
Insider's tips
- Austria is in the EU, and uses the euro.
- Smoking is still allowed in many restaurants, bars and cafés, though many will also have a no-smoking area.
- The Salzburg Card (www.salzburg.info) gives free entrance to most of the city's museums, free boat trips on the Salzach River (including to Schloss Hellbrunn) and free travel on trams and buses. You will also qualify for discounts on regular concerts such as the ones at Mirabell Palace. Cards cost: May-Oct, 48 hrs €32 (£26.15), 72 hrs €37 (£30.25); Nov-Dec €29/34 (£23.70/£27.80).
- Salzburg's W.A. Mozart Airport is 4km from the city centre. Expect to pay around €15 (£12) for a taxi. Otherwise, bus no. 2 from outside the arrivals hall runs every 10 minutes or so to the central train station and to Mirabellplatz for €2 (£1.65).
- Service is not included in café and restaurant bills; adding around 10 per cent is usual.
- The Salzburg Festival may be the cultural highlight of the year, but it is also an expensive time to visit, with hotels often nearly doubling their rates. Other months are less crowded and cheaper, with plenty of regular musical events, including concerts at the Mirabell Palace (www.salzburger-schlosskonzerte.at), the surprisingly good Marionette Theatre (www.marionetten.at) and the Michael Haydn Museum (www.concerts-at-five.com).
