he should do the masters olympia, is he an IFBB pro?
I'm not sure if it's just the lighting but his back in the BDB looks childish, he has no detail or size. It's still to early to say for sure anyway.
I entered the thread to post the same thing. Steve and Dave really have some deep down loathing hatred for eachother. I'd consider it one of the biggest rivalries ever in bodybuilding.

This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 127,994, filed 12/2/87, now abandoned.
The subject invention generally pertains to refrigeration systems having a compressor driven by a variable speed motor, such as a permanent magnetic DC motor that is electronically commmutated.
The temperature conditioning demand on many refrigeration systems can vary substantially. This is especially true in residential and commercial applications where air cnditioners and heat pumps experience seasonal changes, changes in humidity, diurnal changes, and variations in occupancy. As a result, several methods have been developed which vary the capacity of the system to meet its demand. One method that emerges as being relatively efficient and versatile varies the capacity by modulating the speed of the system's refrigeration compressor.
Possibly the most common method of varying the speed of a compresor is by way of an inverter driven AC induction motor. The speed of the compressor is varied as the inverter varies the frequency of the current supplied to the compressor's motor. Although inverter driven motors have been in use for many years, several of their drawbacks have not yet been eliminated. Inverters require extensive circuitry that is relatively expensive, and in many cases, they product more line interference than other available drives. Moreover, many inverter driven induction motors are less efficient than variable speed DC motors.
The speed of a conventional DC motor is simply changed by varying the amplitude of its DC supply voltage. The motor includes brushes and a commutator which mechanically commutate the DC supply to become synchronized with the speed of the motor. Unfortunately, a problem arises from commutating the motor using mechanical means. Brushes wear out and are impossible to replace when installed within a hermetic shell of a refrigeration compressor. In addition, electrical arching between the commutator and the brushes generates electrical noise and creates chemical impurities in the refrigerant environment within the hermetic shell.
A permanent magnet brushless DC motor uses electronic commutation to overcome the problems associated with mechanically commutating a motor. Electronic commutation involves replacing the brushes and commutator with an electronic switching means that switches the voltage supplied to the motor leads in response to the rotor's position. The speed of the electronically commutated motor is controlled by varying the DC supply voltage, often with reference to a presumably predictable voltage/speed relationship. This relationship, however, can vary as it is affected by the load applied to the motor. Consequently, speed control schemes based on the presumed voltage/speed relationship are inadequate in systems subject to widely varying loads, such as air conditioners and heat pumps. Yet to directly sense the motor's load, which equals its speed times its torque, involves additional sensors and expense.
An object of the invention is to provide a refrigeration system having a variable speed compressor driven by an electronically commutated DC motor and controlling the motor's drive in response to the actual speed of the compressor and a temperature error associated with the refrigeration system while disregarding the actual instantaneous load on the motor if its within safe operating limits.
Another object is to integrally incorporate an electronically commutated motor into a temperature conditioning system having a multiple feedback control scheme that includes rotor position feedback, compressor speed feedback, and temperature feedback.
Yet another object of the invention is to avoid the costs and inefficiencies associated with inverter driven induction motors.
A further object is to avoid the electrical noise commonly associated with mechanical commutators of DC motors.
A still further object of the invention is to avoid the use of fault switches and tachometers mounted inside a hermetic shell of a refrigeration compressor driven by an electronically commutated motor.
Another object of the invention is to provide a refrigeration system having both a variable speed compressor and a variable speed fan.
Yet another object is to provide a heat pump system with a variable speed compressor and variable speed indoor fan, and control their speed so that the ratio of fan speed to compressor speed is greater in the cooling mode than in the heating mode.
A further object is to provide a refrigeration system controller that, in response to undesirable rotor position and thermodynamic conditions, repeatedly attempts to start the motor and allows the conditions to change between attempted starts.
Another object is to control the speed of a refrigeration compressor and the speed of an outdoor fan using the same pulse-width mmodulated signal.
Another object of the invention is to control a motor drive by way of a pulse-width modulated control signal that stops the motor if the signal is interrupted, i.e., opened or shorted.
Yet another object is to closely modulate the temperature of a comfort zone by varying the speed of a refrigeration compressor while accurately monitoring its actual speed and also while modulating the flow of refrigerant through an evaporator by means of an expansion valve.
These and other objects of the invention will be provided by a novel refrigeration system.
The capacity of the refrigeration system is varied by varying the speed of a hermetic compressor driven by an electronically commutated, brushless DC motor. The capacity of the system and the motor's speed is modulated by a control scheme having three interrelated closed loops using three feedback signals. The feedback signals represent the actual speed of the motor, the rotational position of the rotor, and the temperature of a zone being conditioned by the refrigeration system.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the subject invention.
FIG. 2 is a graph showing the relationship between compressor speed and its controlling PWM signal.
FIG. 3 is the control algorithm of the subject invention.
FIG. 4 shows the relationship between indoor fan speed and compressor speed in both the cooling and heating mode.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating the subject invention which includes a heat pump system 10 controlled by a refrigeration system controller 12. Heat pump 10 includes a variable speed compressor 14, an outdoor heat exchanger 16, an expansion valve 18, and an indoor heat exchanger 20, all of which are connected in series to circulate refrigerant through a hermetically sealed refrigeration circuit 22.
The heat pump system also includes a reversing valve 24 that determines the direction of refrigerant flow through expansion valve 18 and both heat exchangers 16 and 20. The direction of flow determines whether the system operates in a cooling or heating mode. Valve 24 places the system in the cooling mode when the valve is positioned as shown in FIG. 1. In other words, the indoor heat exchanger 20 functions as an evaporator and in conjunction with an indoor fan 26 provides a cooling effect on a comfort zone. To provide a heating effect, valve 24 is rotated 90� from the position shown causing heat exchanger 16 to function as an evaporator and heat exchanger 20 to function as a condenser which places system 10 in the heating mode.
Although the system shown in FIG. 1 is a heat pump, it is within the scope of the invention to use a refrigeration system that operates in a cooling only mode, thereby eliminating the need for reversing valve 24. Numerous other variations would also be within the scope of the invention, such as reversing the rotational direction of a suitable rotary compressor instead of using a reversing valve, using a constant versus a variable speed indoor fan, or replacing the expansion valve with any one of a variety of expansion devices such as a capillary tube or an orifice. An expansion value is preferred, however, since it can modulate flow in response to the refrigerant's changing thermodynamic conditions such as pressure or temperature. It should also be noted that the refrigeration circuit 22 shown in FIG. 1 is generally schematic in nature which is the reason only one expansion device is shown rather than the usual arrangement of two expansion devices with their appropriate bypass check valve.
The basic operating principles of heat pumps and other refrigeration circuits are well known to those skilled in the art, and so the specifics of their cycle will not be explained in great detail. It should be noted, however, that one distinguishing feature of the invention is that the temperature conditioning capacity of system 10 is modulated by varying the compressor's capacity to compress refrigerant. This is accomplished by varying the speed of compressor 14.
Compressor 14 is driven by a variable speed compressor drive 27 which comprises a permanent magnet, brushless DC motor 28 that receives its electrical supply 30 from a motor drive 32. The purpose of motor drive 32 is to electronically commutate motor 28 and also to vary its speed by varying the voltage and frequency of the motor's electrical speed 30. As with conventional DC motors, the speed of motor 28 increases with the amplitude (RMS value) of its supply voltage 34. Motor drive 32 commutates motor 28 by alternating the relative polarity of the motor's supply voltage 34 and synchronizing the polarity changes with the rotational position of the motor's rotor. Commutating motor 28 is done electronically in response to a rotor position sensor disposed within the motor. Although the position sensor could be any rotor position sensing means for providing a rotor position feedback signal such as an electromechanical or proximity type switch, in the preferred embodiment, a position feedback signal 36 is generated from within motor 28 by way of a de-energized motor winding 38. This is depicted by the three motor supply leads 40, of which only two are energized at a time. The de-energized winding 38 that carries the position feedback signal 36 changes sequentially among the three leads 40 as the rotor rotates. Employing this method minimizes the number of electrical leads that must pass through the compressor's hermetic shell. An exemplary motor drive 32 and an explanation of its basic operating principles such as its means for sensing rotor position and its means for varying the motor speed is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,162,435 which is specifically incorporated by reference herein. A specific motor drive 32 used in one embodiment of the invention is the General Electric Model X-8794700AHG03.
Motor drive 32 electronically commutates motor 28 in response to the rotor position feedback signal 36, and controls the the motor's supply voltage 34 in response to a relatively low voltage speed command signal 42. Signal 42 is electrically isolated from supply voltage 34 by way of optocoupler. Speed command signal 42, which has a DC voltage of constant amplitude between approximately 5 and 24 volts and variable duty cycle, is generated by controller 12 which comprises a microcomputer circuit 46 and an interface circuit 48. Although a Mitsubishi 5743 microcomputer is used in one embodiment of the invention, an Intel 8751 and an 8022 have also been used successfully, and a variety of other microcomputers would also be acceptable. Circuit 48 provides an interface between microcomputer 46 and a variety of input signals such as a temperature setpoint signal 50.
Interface circuit 48 is a relatively uncomplicated circuit that should be easily understood with reference to its control diagram shown in FIG. 1. Circuit 48 includes a combination of discrete and I.C. coponents; however, it should be apparent to those skilled in the art that essentially the same circuit can be reproduced using discrete electronic components alone. Circuit 48 includes a summing junction 52 that compares the actual temperature of the comfort zone to a setpoint temperature representative of a desired zone temperature. In the preferred embodiment, the zone temperature is supplied to the interface circuit 48 by way of a zone temperature feedback signal 54 generated by a thermistor associated with the comfort zone, and a digital keyboard 56 is used as the means for providing the temperature setpoint signal 50. However, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that there is a myriad of equally acceptable alternatives for sensing the zone temperature and for providing a temperature setpoint signal.
Upon comparing the zone temperature to its setpoint, summing junction 52 generates a temperature error signal 58 representing the difference between the zone temperature and its setpoint. The temperature error signal 58 is conveyed to transfer functions 60 and 62, and based on error signal 58, the functions generate a desired compressor speed signal 64 and 64' for cooling and heating respectively. The specifics of the transfer function 60 and 62 are simply matter of design choice and would depend on the specific refrigeration system installation. A simple example of an acceptable transfer function would be a proportional control where the temperature error 58 is multiplied by a gain and the resulting product is added to a predetermined constant. Other acceptable transfer functions include integral control, "PID", look-up tables, or as in the preferred embodiment, proportion plus integral control.
Depending on the position of a mode select switch 66, one of the desired compressor speed signals 64 or 64' is conveyed as a pulse-width modulated (PWM) input signal to the microcomputer circuit 46. Microcomputer 46 also receives a speed feedback signal 68 that represents the actual speed of compressor 14. There are a variety of means for sensing the speed of a compressor and generating a feedback signal in response to it. One example would be by way of a generator or an alternator type tachometer coupled to either the compressor or its motor. The tachometer could generate a voltage whose amplitude or frequency is proportional to the speed of the compressor. Another example would be a digital tachometer that counts rotor revolutions over time by using an optical sensor or some other type of proximity sensor such as those employing the Hall effect. The specific method used in the preferred embodiment involves counting, over a period of time, electrical pulses generated from within the compressor drive 27 as drive 27 switches electrical supply 30 among the motor's supply leads 40.
In response to the desired compressor speed signal 64 or 64' and the compressor speed feedback signal 68, controller 12 generates the PWM speed command signal 42 which controls the speed of the compresor 14 according to the function shown in FIG. 2. It can be seen from the figure that the function is discontinuous in that the speed command 42 drops to zero when the resulting pulse width is either less than a predetermined minimum of 30% or greater than a predetermined maximum of 90%. In addition, compressor 14 stops when the electrical leads carrying the speed command signal 42 are shorted (to high or ground) or disconnected. This feature not only provides a simple means for stopping the compressor but also provides a convenient location to install series connected trip switches 70 that stop the compressor in response to extreme temperatures, pressures, or current. Temperatures that can be monitored include, but are not limited to, the exterior surface of the compressor shell, a terminal box attached to the compressor shell, and electronic devices included in motor drive 32. It should be noted, however, that an alternate location of trip switch 70 is on the speed feedback line 68 which is also a low voltage line that carries between 5 and 24 volts. It should also be noted that the 30% and 90% values can be changed to any predetermined values between 0% and 100%.
To derive speed command signal 42, controller 12 operates according to the algorithm shown in FIG. 3. Upon entering the algorithm, control block 72 determines whether a motor fault exists. If one exists, control is directed toward the end of the flow chart where miscellaneous times and a counter are reset to zero at blocks 74, 76, and 78. Upon reaching the end 80 of the program, an interrupt is automatically initiated to re-enter the program at block 72 again. This cycle repeats until the motor fault is manually reset or cleared. If the motor fault is not set, initial speed values of zero are assigned to the variables TRUSPD and CMDSPD by blocks 82 and 84. TRUSPD is a digital value representing the actual speed of compressor 14 and CMDSPD corresponds to the speed command 42 that is delivered to motor drive 32 which in turn controls the speed of the compressor's motor 28. The next block 86 initiates the speed counter which continuously counts the pulses that are provided by motor drive 32 as it commutates motor 28. The pulses, being generated at a frequency proportional to the speed of motor 28, represents the motor speed feedback signal 68. The compressor speed (TRUSPD) is determined by counting pulses over a 0.9 second time period as indicated by decision block 90. In block 92, the variable "PULSES" is assigned the value representing the number of pulses counted in the last 0.9 second interval. This value is then converted to speed (TRUSPD) in block 94. Blocks 96 and 98 reset the 0.9 second timer and the speed counter to zero, and the speed counter automatically begins counting another set of pulses to determine the next compressor speed reading.
Once TRUSPD has been determined, decision blocks 100 and 102 determine if the compressor speed is within the predetermined speed limits of 1800 and 7200 RPM. If not, a speed problem exists and corrective action is taken either by blocks 142, 144, 146, 148 and 150, or by blocks 142 and 126 depending on whether the extreme speed conditoin is characterized by the compressor speed reaching the upper or lower speed limit as will be explained later. Assuming TRUSPD is within 1800 to 7200 RPM, decision block 106 allows speed control action to be taken every 0.2 seconds, i.e., a new command speed (CMDSPD) is computed and supplied to motor drive 32 to vary the speed of motor 28 every 0.2 seconds. After each 0.2 second interval, the 0.2 second timer is reset to zero by block 108, and microcomputer circuit 46 reads the desired speed signal 64 or 64' provided by interface circuit 48 and assigns its digital value to the variable SETSPD in block 110. Blocks 112 and 114 limit the value of SETSPD to lie within the range of 1950 and 6950 RPM. Block 116 assigns the variable SPDERR to equal TRUSPD minus SETSPD which represents the difference between the actual compressor speed, TRUSPD, and the desired speed, SETSPD. If SPDERR lies within an acceptable range, or deadband, no change in speed control is taken as indicated by decision block 118 which has a deadband of +4 to -4. Beyond the deadband, CMDSPD is appropriately incremented or decremented in discrete steps, but its new value is limited to within speed limits which are stored as digital values corresponding to 1800 and 7200 RPM. Computing the new value of CMDSPD is represented by control blocks 120, 122, 124, 126, and 128 which subsequently brings the control to block 130. Block 130 clears a speed fault and resets a fault counter to zero. Both the speed fault and counter will be explained later. Before the computed CMDSPD is converted to PWM signal 42 by block 132 and delivered to motor drive 32 as a result of block 134, controller checks to see if compressor 28 should actually be operating. This is accomplished by decision block 136 which determines whether an external "COMPRESSOR ON" signal has been supplied to microcomputer 46. If the COMPRESSOR ON signal is not present, CMDSPD is changed to zero at block 138, and the compresor is commanded to stop due to blocks 138, 132, and 134. The control subsequently returns to block 90 via decision block 140, provided no speed faults exists. If a COMPRESSOR ON signal exists, CMDSPD retains its value computed by blocks 122, 124, 126, and 128,, and CMDSPD is converted to a PWM signal 42 that is delivered to motor drive 32 as indicated by blocks 132 and 134. Control is then returned to block 90, provided no speed fault exists.
As mentioned earlier, a speed problem is determined by decision blocks 100 and 102. If an overspeed condition occurs, as recognized by decision block 100, decision block 142 will direct the control to attempt corrective action, i.e., reduce the compressor speed by way of control block 126. However, if the attempt is unsuccessful as determined by subsequent speed checks which show an overspeed condition still exits even though CMDSPD has been reduced to its lowest design limit of 1800 RPM, then decision block 142 directs the control to block 144. Block 144 sets a speed fault, and block 146 increments a speed fault counter. If the value in the counter exceeds a predetermined limit, of say 10, as indicated by block 148, block 150 sets a motor fault which stops compressor 28. The program is re-entered by way of blocks 74, 76, 78, and 80 which initiates another interrupt. However, the compressor will not restart until the motor fault is manually reset. If the value in the fault counter is less than 10, block 138 assigns the value of zero to CMDSPD which also stops the compressor, but only for a predetermined time delay of 7 minutes, as shown by blocks 140 and 152. After 7 minutes, the compressor automatically attempts to restart provided a COMPRESSOR ON signal is still present.
If an underspeed condition exists as determined by decision block 102, no attempt is made to increase the speed and the compressor is shut down via blocks 144, 146, 148, 138, 132, and 134 or via blocks 144, 146, 148 and 150, depending on decision block 148. An underspeed condition forces the compressor to shut down immediatey to avoid possible damage caused by inadequate lubrication.
It should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the above-described algorithm explains the overall control scheme of the preferred embodkent, and a variety or hardware and software variations would still be well within the scope of the invention. For example, many portions of the algorithm can be readily separated from the microcomputer itself and incorporated in peripheral circuits such as the motor fault generally comprising blocks 144, 146, 148, and 150; 7 minute time delay of block 152; converting a digital signal to a pulse-width modulated signal, and vise-versa, as accomplished by blocks 110 and 134; in addition, the interrupt which initiates the control algorithm could be externally provided, e.g., a control algorithm associated with interface circuit 48 could provide the interrupt for the algorithm of FIG. 3 which in turn could do the same for circuit 48. It should also be obvious, and in some cases desirable, to change many of the predetermined digital values such as those defined in blocks 82, 84, 90, 100, 102, 106, 112, 114, 118 and 148.
The control scheme described above can be overridden during a diagnostic mode of the refrigeration system. In the diagnostic mode, a service technician removes signal 42, normally provided by controller 12, and substitutes a low voltage AC signal (less than 25 volts) from any readily available source. A diode, in series with motor drive 32, converts the AC signal to a pulsed DC signal having a constant duty cycle of approximately 50%.
Referring to FIG. 1, the preferred embodiment of the invention can be modified by driving the variable speed indoor fan 26 with a second brushless DC motor 154 similiar to compressor motor 28. Fan motor 154 can be electronically commutated by a motor drive 156 to vary its speed in response to a second PWM speed command signal 158 provided by controller 12. The speed of fan 26 can be controlled as a function of the compressor speed, as indicated in FIG. 4. A cooling mode function 160 (FIG. 4) is provided by an input 162 (FIG. 1) and a heating mode function 164 (FIG. 4) is provided an input 166 (FIG. 1). A mode select switch 168 determines which function 160 or 164 is used to compute the fan speed command signal 158 (analagous to the compressor's CMDSPD) to the motor drive 156.
Referring to FIG. 4, functions 160 and 164 purposely have different slopes, with slope 174 being greater than slope 176. In other words, the ratio of the fan speed to compressor speed is greater in the cooling mode than in the heating mode. This provides a generally constant ratio of indoor fan air flow rate to refrigeration capacity (constant ratio of CFM/TON) in the cooling mode, and provides a generally constant indoor air flow temperature in the heating mode.
As shown in FIG. 1, the basic refrigeration system can be further modified to include a variable speed outdoor fan 170 whose speed is controlled in response to the PWM speed command signal 42, which is the same signal used to control the speed of compressor 14.
Although the invention is described with respect to a preferred embodiment, modifications thereto will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the scope of the invention is to be determined by reference to the claims which follow.

UPDATE 7.20am: The Australian sharemarket has opened mixed, with Westpac among the big early movers after reporting a fall in full year net profit.
At 7.25am, the benchmark S&P/ASX200 index was down 5.8 points, or 0.13 per cent, at 4454.3 points, while the broader All Ordinaries index had risen seven points, or 0.16 per cent, at 4476.3 points.
On the ASX 24, the December share price index futures contract was two points lower at 4443 points, with 8656 contracts traded.
Bell Potter senior adviser Stuart Smith said there would not be much life in the market over the coming days, ahead of the US elections and a Melbourne Cup day interest rate decision from the Reserve Bank of Australia.
"We will be quiet until we can get through probably tomorrow and Wednesday," Mr Smith said.
Making news, Westpac said net profit for the 12 months to September 30, 2012, came in at $5.97 billion, down 15 per cent from the prior corresponding period, because of the tax implications of its takeover of smaller rival St George.
Cash earnings - banks' preferred measure of financial performance - rose 5 per cent to $6.6 billion, Westpac said, which was above market expectations.
Westpac shares rose one per cent just after the market opened and by 7.25am was 15 cents, or 0.6 per cent, higher at $25.18.
"The commentary early from the analysts is positive," Mr Smith said.
The other big retail banks were lower.
While ANZ was down 21 cents at $24.94 and CBA had fallen nine cents to $57.28, NAB was down six cents at $24.81.
Wall Street finished weaker, after initial enthusiasm from a better-than-expected US jobs report faded as market players looked ahead to the upcoming US elections.
The Dow fell 1.05 per cent, the S&P500 eased 0.94 per cent and the NASDAQ ended down 1.26 per cent.
The spot price of gold in Sydney was $US1678.80 per fine ounce, down $US29.35 from Friday's local close of $US1708.15 per ounce.
National turnover was 274.9 million securities worth $375.9 million, with 237 stocks up, 354 down and 253 unchanged.

Shore Gold Inc. Announces $2,000,000 Private Placement
SASKATOON, May 19, 2015 /CNW/ - Shore Gold Inc. ("Shore" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it intends to raise up to $2,000,000 by way of a non-brokered private placement of common shares of the Company at a price of $0.20 per Unit (the "Offering"). Each Unit will consist of one Common Share and one Common Share purchase warrant (" Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at a price of $0.25 for a period of 18 months from the date of issuance.
Shore intends to use the proceeds of the Offering to advance the Star-Orion South Diamond Project. Assuming the $2,000,000 Offering is fully subscribed, Shore intends to use the proceeds of the Offering for general corporate purposes as it completes the 2015 large diameter drilling program on the Orion South Kimberlite and advances the Star-Orion South Diamond Project, including the re-estimate of the Orion South Mineral Resource based on the new LDD holes and the re-optimization of the open pit on Orion South. Although the Company intends to use the proceeds of the Offering as described above, the actual allocation of the proceeds may vary from the uses set forth above, depending on future operations or unforeseen events or opportunities. If the Offering is not fully subscribed, the Company will apply the proceeds of the Offering to the above uses in such priority and such proportions as the Board of Directors of the Company determines is in the best interests of Company.
The Offering is open to all existing shareholders of the Company, subject to the limitations discussed herein. The Offering will be conducted in reliance upon prospectus exemptions which permit Shore to distribute securities to its existing security holders as set forth in Multilateral CSA Notice 45-313 Prospectus Exempt for Distributions, Saskatchewan General Order 45-926 and the various other corresponding blanket orders and rules in each of the provinces and territories of Canada (the "Existing Shareholder Exemption"), subject to the terms and conditions therein. The aggregate acquisition cost to a subscriber under the Existing Shareholder Exemption cannot exceed $15,000 unless that subscriber has obtained advice from a registered investment dealer regarding the suitability of the investment. The Company has fixed May 15, 2015 as the record date for the purpose of determining existing shareholders of the Company who are entitled to participate in the Offering pursuant to the Existing Shareholder Exemption. Subscribers purchasing shares under the Existing Shareholder Exemption will need to represent in writing that they meet certain requirements of the Existing Shareholder Exemption, including that on or before the record date they became a shareholder of the Company and that they continue to be a shareholder of the Company.
In addition to conducting the Offering pursuant to the Existing Shareholder Exemption, the Offering will also be conducted pursuant to other available prospectus exceptions, including sales to accredited investors and to close personal friends and business associates of directors and officers of the Company. The Company intends to solicit subscriptions from subscribers who are not currently shareholders of the Company pursuant these exemptions. In addition, existing shareholders who wish to exceed $15,000 limit may also subscribe as accredited investors and close friends and business associates. Subscribers purchasing shares under the prospectus exemptions for accredited investors and close personal friends and business associates of directors and officers of the Company will need to make customary representations and warranties in writing that they meet certain requirements of the exemptions.
In the event that the Offering is oversubscribed, the Company reserves the right to increase the size of the Offering or allocate subscriptions on a pro rata basis in accordance with holdings of existing shareholders as of the record date. In the event that the Offering is oversubscribed and subscribers who are not currently shareholders of the Company wish to subscribe, the Company may increase the size of the Offering or, if it is determined by the Board of Directors to be in the best interests of the Company, accept subscriptions from the new subscribers and pro rate subscriptions from existing shareholders in accordance with their holdings as of the record date. Existing shareholders are welcome to subscribe for such amount of the Offering as they chose and are not limited to their proportionate share of the Offering; subscriptions will only be subject to pro-rationing in the event the Offering is oversubscribed.
The Company will consider subscriptions from individuals outside of Canada; however these individuals need to establish that the issuance to them is exempt from prospectus and registration requirements under applicable securities law.
The Offering is not subject to any minimum aggregate subscription amount; however, each individual subscription must be in the amount of $5,000 or more.
The Offering is expected to close on or about June 12, 2015, provided that the Offering may close in one or more tranches, but in any event no later than July 3, 2015. The Offering is subject to the approval of the TSX. All securities issued in connection with the Offering will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus one day from the date of Offering.
Officers and directors of the Company (collectively, the "Insiders") may participate in the Offering for an aggregate of up to 2,000,000 shares.
The offer and sale of the securities offered in the Offering has not been and will not be registered under the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities laws, and such securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or applicable exemption from such registration requirements. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities in the United States or in any jurisdiction in which the offer, sale or solicitation would be unlawful.
Shore is a Canadian based corporation engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. Shares of the Company trade on the TSX Exchange under the trading symbol "SGF".

Inspiring The Flow
Throughout history, human beings have been fascinated by artifacts representing surrogate flesh and fire. One such item, a simple red quartz known as carnelian, has traditionally not only been perceived as a means to heal the body, but also as a bearer of life-giving iron, which is said to stimulate the flow of blood. This crystalline gem, which can vary in color from translucent red to a bright opaque orange, has signified many things to many cultures. To this day, however, carnelian represents drive, success, and inner strength.
In ancient Egypt, carnelian protected the dead in the afterlife and ensured that the soul would pass into the next world. Middle Easterners, Greeks, and Romans used the stone to bolster courage. Today, many individuals continue to look toward carnelian to bring good luck and opportunity, increase motivation, lessen physical stress, and increase physical and mental endurance. Often called the "self esteem stone," carnelian can help the timid and anxious overcome a lack of self-confidence or an inability to make decisions. It can also inspire a positive sense of connection with past experiences. Wearing the stone in jewelry can awaken latent talents and encourage creative visualization that opens new doors and brings new joys. Simply exposing one's physical self to the gem can help the body's energy fields flow more freely, thus healing many physical ailments. Crystal healers recommend placing the gem over a diseased, toxic, or unbalanced part of the body to initiate the healing process and increase blood flow to the area. Meditating while holding carnelian in each hand can help you become more conscious of your body's energy fields while stimulating the circulatory system and filling you with a delicious sense of warmth.
Carnelian is a grounding gem, yet is intimately connected to the second chakra. This gives it the unique ability to calm your mind and dispel fear while increasing ambition and creativity. This stone also has the ability to clear blockages within the body. As it comes into contact with the body, it enhances both physical energy and mental power, spreading soothing, healing heat throughout the body and simultaneously opening the heart. When you wear or interact with carnelian, you may find that energy can once again freely flow through you.

How Spider-Man lost the lead role in 'Rise Of The Apes' to the Green Goblin
It's an interesting moment for Tobey Maguire.
When he was playing Spider-Man on a regular basis, Maguire was a movie star by default. If you star in a film that makes $800 million or so worldwide, you're potentially bankable. If you star in two, you're a potential star. You star in three? That's a rare club. Maguire's done it. Three giant giant movies.
But aside from those three films, has he ever really opened a movie? I like a lot of his work. I just wrote about "Ride With The Devil" the other day, and a big part of that film's sucess is Maguire's work. He's very real, very sincere and sweet as a guy who does some brutal things during the Civil War. I'm hoping there's a Criterion Blu-ray version of "The Ice Storm" coming soon, because I love that movie. That's my favorite film of 1997, and the work of the young cast like Maguire and Christina Ricci and Elijah Wood is a big part of why I think the film is amazing. "Pleasantville" and "Wonder Boys" are both rich and interesting films I'll happily discuss with anyone at length. Films that reward return visits. So Maguire's got taste. He's capable of doing really strong and challenging work. I root for him. I like enough of what he's done to feel invested. You know how it is for some actors... you just plain like them on film.
But I do wonder... is Tobey Maguire a movie star by any conventional definition at this point?
If he's not playing Spider-Man, what is he worth at the box-office?
That is, after all, part of the definition of "movie star". If you open a movie... if your presence in the film means there's a certain level of box-office... then you're a movie star. You're bigger than the movie you're in. There are many people who appear regularly in big movies, and arguably make those big movies better, but they aren't the reason the films open or play. Jeff Goldblum was a big part of why people loved "Jurassic Park," but Jeff Goldblum isn't why people went crazy going back to the theater all summer long, or what got them in to see the film in the first place. Tobey Maguire was well-liked in the "Spider-Man" films, but the films opened and played because they were "Spider-Man" films.
Maguire may have talked himself out of a chance to test his ability to carry a big movie away from the comfort of "Spider-Man" when he entered into talks with 20th Century Fox to star in "Rise Of The Apes," the new reboot of the "Planet Of The Apes" franchise. According to HitFix sources, when Maguire came back to the table with script notes for the studio, the conversations abruptly stopped, and Fox moved quickly to close a deal with Franco, another of the final contenders for the lead role.
Movie stars have real weight when it comes to getting script changes made. The less pull you have, the less of a movie star you are. When the mere mention of script notes gets a studio to flip a switch on you, hot to cold in a flash, then they're looking at you as a replaceable part of the equation.
Will Smith? Movie star. Brad Pitt? Movie star. Tom Cruise. Still a movie star. Tom Hanks. Perhaps the most beloved movie star.
But Tobey Maguire? After this incident, I'd say no. And for Franco, this is a good move, a good next step. Franco's not a movie star, either, but he doesn't seem in any rush to prove otherwise. Franco's an actor. Just a working actor. He's gotten much better over the years, but he started out really strong on "Freaks & Geeks." He's got a big role, and a good role, in "Your Highness," which just shifted its release date from this fall to next spring. And who knows... if he strings enough of these together, then maybe Franco will find himself a full-blown movie star soon enough.

Let a master reader beguile you with this universal reminder of what the holiday season can and should mean in this unique production of Dickens' classic and ever-timely tale.
©1965, 1986 Bantam Books; (P)2003 Random House, Inc., Listening Library, An Imprint Of The Random House Audio Publishing Group
"The versatile British actor's performance of Scrooge as he discovers that his body is left abandoned on a denuded bedstead is as raw and real as when the classic tale was written in the closing weeks of 1843. Dale makes us believe in the Scrooge whose spark has been quenched and carries us along as we watch the various spirits blow the ashes into embers, and the embers into a merry blaze of timeless Christmas cheer." (AudioFile)
Every year I reread A Christmas Carol. This year Jim Dale read it to me. He was spot on with his tone and cadence in the telling and true to the author's description of the voices of the different characters.
I think Charles Dickens would be very, very pleased.
Robert McGinnis
"Love it!"
The ending always brings tears to my eyes. Love the English narrator.
"Three greats combined!"
With a wonderful story, compelling author and superb narrator, this is a perfect choice for renewing ones enthusiasm for life and goodwill toward others. It's also simply a great listen.
"Jim Dale RULES!"
Read on December 20, 2013
A perfect rendition of a classic Christmas story which kept me entertained on my drive home for the holidays. Jim Dale is and will remain my favorite audiobook narrator of all time. Though, it's hard to get out of the world of Harry Potter whenever I hear him, and I recognized some of the voices/accents he used in the HP books. But it didn't detract from the story---in fact, it added to it because it gave A Christmas Carol a totally new dimension for me as I imagined it taking place in Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade. ;-)
Part time artist - Like to listen to audiobooks when I am working and creating.
"It's jim dale...need I say more!"
A Christmas carol is one of my all time favorite stories add to that Jim dales narration and I absolutely loved it.
I just love Jim Dale. His narrations are always so entertaining
"No humbug here."
I'm not sure where to rank it honestly.
I can find none.
Voices and excellent narration.
A great version of a classic.
"Jim Dale doing Christmas Carol? Yeah, I'm there"
Listen, don't mess with A Christmas Carol - just read it and Dickens will do all the rest. No retelling, no special gimmick - just give it do me in an English accent. I loved Dale in the Harry Potter series, and he does a great job here. There are times when I hear Dobby the house elf, but that's okay, he does a great job with the spirits and Scrooge. So enjoy Christmas and have a go with this edition, you won't regret it.
"Always a good holiday read."
Worth the read.
I've just listened to "A Tale of Two Cities" at this point. I would not chose to compare.
Remorse & determination to change Schrooge felt as the lessons the spirits revealed became clear.
Was well entertained. Experienced moments of humor, sadness, sympathy and joy.
"Great Version"
Jim Dale has a hypnotic voice that puts you into the story from the very beginning, and leaves you wanting more at the end.
"Thoroughly Enjoyable"
Love the story period & Jim Dale is always fun to listen to.
Marley - have stage managed the production a number of times & got my husband to play Marley twice - brings back wonderful memories.
It was difficult to separate Jim Dale from his Harry Potter recordings to start with - but once the story pulled me in I thoroughly enjoyed all the characterizations.

Yosemite National Park RECOMMENDATIONS See all
Where to Stay in Yosemite
By Viator, March 2016
Inside the Park: Yosemite Valley
The most popular area in Yosemite is on the valley floor and, as a result, there a good selection of lodging options, several that are park attractions in and of themselves. The historic Majestic Yosemite Hotel and Yosemite Lodge boast amazing perspectives of iconic sights--Yosemite Falls, Half Dome and Glacier Point, to name a few--if you'd like a room with a view. For a central location, check out Curry Village--it's a starting point for many hikes and excursions in the Valley and has welcomed guests for the past 100 years. Keep in mind that Yosemite is one of the most popular National Parks in the country; lodging fills up quickly and you'll need to make reservations in advance.
Inside the Park: Outside of Yosemite Valley
Staying outside of the valley gives you less crowded options without sacrificing any of the spectacular scenery. Tuolumne Meadows offers tent camping and is a central location for embarking on many activities. The Wawona Hotel dates back to the 1800s and is the most historic lodging facility in the park; it's conveniently located near the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias. For a taste of backcountry travel without the hassle, Yosemite High Sierra Camps allow you to explore Yosemite's vast high country without dealing with a backpack. Accessible only by foot or saddle, the High Sierra Camps are spaced roughly 5.5-10 miles (8.85-16 km) apart along a loop trail so that you'll have plenty of time to enjoy the scenery without worrying about setting up camp each night.

This paper examines the relevance of causal mapping – essentially a form of visual aid to enhance our understanding of the thoughts of an individual, group or organization – as a means of analysing innovation and creativity within English design agencies. Focussing upon successful design contracts in three selected case studies, the discussion considers how far cognitive mapping can be used to understand the relations between design practices, firm routines and conventions, and the local creative milieu. The paper argues that cognitive mapping confirms the value of a situated learning perspective in which knowledge is inseparable from practice. It reveals that successful design is based on deliberate practices pertaining to relationships with clients, group dynamics, and team collaboration within the design consultancy. These practices narrow uncertainty and allow designers to exercise imagination and creative brokering. Whilst cognitive mapping can be useful heuristic tool, the analysis suggests that it is limited as means to unravelling tacit knowledge.
