Duel on Cloud City
this wiki
- "The Force is with you, young Skywalker… but you are not a Jedi yet."
- ―Darth Vader to Luke Skywalker
After failing to capture Luke Skywalker during the Battle of Hoth, Darth Vader—Skywalker's father—set a trap for Skywalker on the Cloud City of Bespin. He captured Han Solo and Leia Organa to torture them, hoping to lure Skywalker out of hiding. Skywalker saw a vision of his friends' suffering while on Dagobah, where he trained with Jedi Master Yoda, and rushed to Cloud City to help them.
When he arrived, Skywalker briefly encountered Imperial troops and Boba Fett, who was taking a carbon-frozen Solo to his ship. Skywalker avoided the enemy forces and made his way to the carbon-freezing chamber and found Vader waiting for him, and the two engaged in a lightsaber duel throughout the chamber. They moved into the lower levels, where Vader consistently held the upper hand before finally cutting off Skywalker's right hand, causing Luke to lose the lightsaber that once belonged to Vader, leaving the Jedi apprentice defenseless and at the mercy of the Dark Lord of the Sith. It was then that Vader revealed the truth: he was Skywalker's father.
Rather than allow himself to be captured, Skywalker threw himself off the platform where they had fought, before landing and hanging helplessly at the bottom of the city. Skywalker was rescued by Organa, Chewbacca, and Lando Calrissian in the Millennium Falcon before returning to the Rebel fleet, where they began plotting a mission to rescue Solo from Jabba the Hutt on Tatooine.
- "I've got to go to them."
"Decide, you must, how to serve them best. If you leave now, help them, you could, but… you would destroy all for which they have fought and suffered."
- ―Luke Skywalker and Yoda
The Alliance to Restore the Republic had recently been dealt a disastrous defeat in the Battle of Hoth. Though the Alliance had managed to stave off total destruction, the conflict had seen the Alliance's new headquarters destroyed-suffering many casualties-and their surviving forces scattered across the galaxy. As the Imperial assault had neared completion, Han Solo, Leia Organa, Chewbacca, and C-3PO managed to escape off-world in Solo's personal ship, the Millennium Falcon, just before snowtroopers, led by Darth Vader, entered the hangar. However, the Falcon had been undergoing extensive repairs prior to the battle, and, unknown to its crew, its hyperdrive motivator was damaged to the point of being non-functional.[1]
Vader, who had led the Imperial assault, had been working hard to track down and capture Luke Skywalker in order to turn the boy into his apprentice. Recognizing Solo's ship, and realizing who was aboard it, Vader devised a plan to lure Skywalker to him by capturing and torturing his friends. He realized that the suffering of Skywalker's friends would be felt by him through the Force, and that the boy would come to aid them. To that end, he sent part of his personal armada, Death Squadron, to capture the Falcon. Solo managed to evade the pursuers, but he soon came to realize that the damage to the Falcon's hyperdrive was so extensive that it could not be repaired without landing. Unable to meet up with the remains of the Rebel fleet, Solo attempted to seek refuge and repairs at the nearby planet of Bespin. An old friend of Solo's, Lando Calrissian, had become Baron Administrator to Bespin's largest settlement, Cloud City, and Solo believed Calrissian could help him repair the Falcon. However, the bounty hunter Boba Fett had informed Darth Vader of Solo's destination, and, with the advantage of functioning hyperdrives, an Imperial detachment under the Dark Lord's command arrived at Bespin just before Solo's crew. After Vader arrived Cloud City, he informed Calrissian of his plan to use Solo and his friends to capture Skywalker, and that in return for his cooperation, the Empire would leave Cloud City to its own affairs after Skywalker had been captured. With the threat of Imperial occupation looming over his head, Calrissian was forced to comply. With his cooperation, Vader captured Solo and his companions shortly after they landed, when Calrissian led then to Vader under the pretense of going to dinner. He then began torturing the Rebels in accordance with his original plot. The plan was successful; Skywalker sensed his friends' anguish on Dagobah, and prepared to go to Bespin to save them. In doing so, he disregarded the advice and pleas of his masters, Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi, the latter of whom told Skywalker that his friends' suffering was almost definitely part of a trap.[1]
Luke approached the Cloud City in his X-wing starfighter, unaware that the Imperial forces occupying the city had been tracking his progress since he arrived at Bespin. He landed his craft without incident, and proceeded cautiously into the city. As he and R2-D2 began the search for his friends, he encountered Boba Fett and a group of Imperials who were transporting Solo—encased in carbonite—to Fett's ship. Skywalker, hoping not to reveal his presence, quietly followed the group for a short time until they disappeared from sight. As Skywalker prepared to continue through the city, Fett suddenly reappeared and fired on Skywalker, who ducked around a corner to avoid the shots. After firing a few blaster bolts to deter pursuit, Fett disengaged from his target. Skywalker, clueless as to what Fett's cargo had been, did not attempt to follow him. Shortly after, he encountered Organa and Chewbacca, who were being brought to Vader's flagship as prisoners. The stormtroopers escorting the pair began shooting at Skywalker, who took cover again. Organa saw him and, aware of Vader's trap for him, desperately tried to break free of the grip of an Imperial in an attempt to warn Skywalker. As the group of Imperials with Organa broke off the fight and dragged her away, Luke attempted to follow. Just as he passed through the door where Organa had disappeared, it slammed shut behind him, cutting him off from R2-D2.[1]
Making his way through the catwalks and elevators of a gas-processing vane in the lower levels of Cloud City, he eventually reached the dimly lit carbon-freeze chamber. Suddenly, the chamber lit up, revealing Darth Vader, standing atop a flight of steps to the walkway above. Vader taunted Skywalker, claiming that, while the Force was with him, the boy was no Jedi yet. Striding up to the Dark Lord, Skywalker ignited his lightsaber. Vader responded by calmly activating his own saber, and the duel began.[1]
The duelEdit
- "You have learned much, young one."
"You'll find I'm full of surprises!"
- ―Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker
Skywalker attacked first with two brief, unsuccessful strikes at Vader's torso. He then attempted an overhand strike but the Sith Lord blocked the attack with a one-handed grip on his weapon. Skywalker's assault resulted in a blade-lock, which Vader easily broke by throwing Skywalker to the ground. Skywalker quickly recovered and advanced, engaging in an aggressive string of attacks and managed to push Vader back. However, he soon counterattacked, forcing Luke back to the top of the stairs. During the subsequent pause in the duel, Vader complimented Skywalker on his dueling abilities, which Skywalker agreed with arrogantly. Before he finished speaking, Skywalker slashed at Vader again, but Vader disarmed him with a quick flourish.[1]
Vader then slashed at Skywalker, herding him towards the carbon freezing pit. Skywalker dove out of the way of the attack and rolled down the stairs to the freezing chamber's main platform. Vader jumped after him, pushing Skywalker back to the edge of the pit. As the pit was closed at the time and Skywalker's attention was focused on his opponent, the young Jedi did not sense Vader's trap. Vader claimed that Skywalker's destiny lay with him, and that Obi-Wan had known it. As Skywalker denied this, Vader continued to push Skywalker towards the now-open freezing pit and Luke, not realizing that the pit was open, continued to fall back. As such, when Vader swung his weapon again, Skywalker backed right over the lip of the pit and fell in. As Vader activated the chamber with the Force, remarking that his victory was too easy, Skywalker jumped out of the pit and into the tubing above before the freezing process could begin. Vader approached the pit, thinking to himself that Skywalker was not as strong as he had been told, when he heard a crash from above and noticed the boy trying to climb the tubing above the pit.[1]
Impressed by Skywalker's abilities, Vader slashed one of the hoses with his saber, triggering alarms that started blaring through the chamber. Skywalker jumped down, grabbed the severed hose, and used it to spray gas into Vader's mask, making him cry out. With the Sith Lord momentarily stunned, Skywalker recovered his lightsaber and attacked Vader, only for the Sith Lord to block his blow. As the their blades locked, Vader taunted Skywalker, complimenting him on his control over his fear, but telling him that unleashing his anger was the only way to win.[1]
The Sith Lord broke the blade-lock and attacked. Skywalker, however, managed to fend off Vader's onslaught, jumping over an attack at his legs and flipping over the Sith Lord. Landing behind Vader, Skywalker went on the offensive and drove the Sith Lord to the edge of the platform, kicking Vader in the abdomen. Unable to defend himself against Skywalker's barrage of attacks, Vader went over the edge of the platform. Seeming to have gained the upper hand in the duel, Skywalker followed his opponent over the edge.[1]
Skywalker walked down a tunnel, where Vader emerged from the shadows. The Sith Lord raised his weapon and stood his ground as Skywalker cautiously advanced.[1]
As the two renewed their duel, Vader telekinetically threw a column of pipes at Skywalker. As he turned around and cut the fixture apart, the Sith Lord lunged, engaging Skywalker in a brief bout of swordplay. As the pair locked blades, Vader Force threw a metal box at Skywalker, crashing into the back of his head and breaking the blade-lock. Vader then pulled back and began telekinetically throwing various objects in the room at the boy, taunting him to erode Skywalker's morale.[1]
As Skywalker was being pummelled by the Force-propelled objects, a misaimed piece of piping smashed a window overlooking a deep,[1] low-pressurized[4] shaft behind him, causing the young Jedi to be blown out through the window while Vader grabbed a wall for support. As the pressure equalized, Vader went to the shattered window and observed that Skywalker had managed to grab onto a catwalk protruding from the processing vane.[1]
Skywalker managed to get up onto the catwalk and began searching for Vader. Entering a doorway in the processing vane, he found himself in a dim corridor where he was ambushed by Vader. The Sith Lord attacked, delivering a ferocious series of overhanded strikes. Overwhelmed by Vader's strength, Skywalker went on the defensive and was driven back through the corridor. Blade-locking with the boy, Vader threw him against a wall and continued his assault. Skywalker recovered just in time to avoid Vader's slash, which struck the wall behind him. After dodging another attack, Skywalker attempted to retreat along the catwalk he had come from. However, he was quickly cut off by Vader, forcing him to retreat along the central catwalk after another failed blade-lock. Vader continued his assault, blocking everything Skywalker threw at him, eventually blade-locking with the youth one final time and knocking him to the ground.[1]
Putting his saber at Skywalker's throat, Vader proclaimed the boy defeated, and told him that further resistance would end in Skywalker sharing Kenobi's fate. Skywalker, in response, drove back Vader's weapon and got to his feet before reengaging the Sith Lord. As they renewed their fight, Skywalker, desperate, managed to mildly wound Vader by hitting his right shoulder.[5] Enraged by the breach in his defenses, Vader pressed his attack, driving Skywalker to an extension at the end of the catwalk. The Sith Lord terminated the duel by slicing apart equipment on the catwalk, and then quickly slashing off Skywalker's sword hand, taking his lightsaber with it.[1]
Revelation and escapeEdit
- "If you only knew the power of the dark side. Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father."
"He told me enough! He told me you killed him!"
"No. I am your father."
- ―Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker
As Skywalker recoiled, screaming in pain, Vader pressed his attempt to turn the boy to the dark side. While Skywalker retreated to the end of the extension, Vader played his trump card: he revealed that he was once Anakin Skywalker, the boy's father. Though Skywalker denied the claim, since Kenobi had told him that Vader had betrayed and killed his father, he sensed, to his shock and horror, that it was true. Despite the damaging revelation, Skywalker, found the courage to jump off the catwalk rather than join the Empire. As he fell, Skywalker was sucked through a number of vents, which eventually deposited him on a vane below Cloud City. Damaged both physically and mentally, he called out to Kenobi for aid, but received no reply. He then desperately managed to contact Organa through the Force.[1]
Unbeknownst to Skywalker, while he was dueling Vader, Calrissian had become fed up with the Empire's deal and had set Organa and Chewbacca free. Although they had not managed to retrieve Solo from Fett, they had managed to reach the Falcon and escape the city. While on their way to leave Bespin, Organa heard Skywalker's cry for help and ordered the freighter around to rescue him.[1]
As the crew of the Falcon recovered Skywalker, Vader arrived at his flagship, the Executor, and prepared to capture the freighter. As the Falcon left Bespin's gravity well, the crew attempted to jump to hyperspace, only for the hyperdrive to fail. The rebels onboard desperately tried to figure out what was wrong with the supposedly-repaired hyperdrive as the Executor loomed closer and closer. While the freighter evaded a small group of TIE fighters, Vader telepathically called to Skywalker, once again attempting to turn him to the dark side. While Skywalker continued to struggle with Vader's revelation, the Executor prepared to board the Falcon. However, R2-D2, having learned from Cloud City's central computer that the hyperdrive had been deactivated, managed to reactivate the drive, allowing the freighter to escape into hyperspace before it was captured by the Executor's tractor beam.[1]
- "Ben… why didn't you tell me?"
- ―Luke Skywalker
Vader's revelation haunted Skywalker, shaking his faith in Kenobi and destroying the image of the father he had thought he had and looked up to.[1]
He did, however, come to terms with it a year later, when he and his father dueled for the final time aboard the second Death Star during the climatic Battle of Endor. He also managed to redeem Vader, restoring his image of a father he could look up to.[6]
Behind the scenesEdit
The duel between Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker in The Empire Strikes Back is regarded by many Star Wars fans as the most memorable lightsaber duel in Star Wars history.
As George Lucas wanted the lightsaber fights to gradually become "faster and more intense" as Skywalker was becoming better at using a lightsaber, a shift in dueling style became evident, with some one-handed fighting forms making their first appearance—a peek at what lightsaber duels of olden times would eventually be revealed to look like.
The revelation of Skywalker's parentage was kept so secret that even David Prowse, the actor playing the body of Darth Vader and speaking the lines on set, did not know the truth. Instead, he spoke the line "Obi-Wan killed your father", which had been printed on a substituted page of the screenplay. Meanwhile, the overdubbed voice of James Earl Jones spoke the true line. Mark Hamill himself was only told moments before shooting the scene, and no one else on the cast other than Jones and Hamill found out until Episode V's premiere.
In popular cultureEdit
The great lengths that the production staff went to prevent the identity of Skywalker's father from being leaked to the public was eventually spoofed in The Simpsons episode "Worst Episode Ever," where one of the invaluable Star Wars memorabilia that Mrs. Prince was unwittingly selling to Comic Book Guy was a film reel labeled "Alternate Ending: Chewbacca is Luke's Father."

Lurking through the mystifying forest, Mindy tries to find something that she is partially missing.
Finding her way with her new companion, she finds other things which keep her from finding the truth. But will that lead her to her happiness or her misery?
I was walking through this strange and narrow pathway in the forest. I had no idea how I ended up here. All I could recall was my last days at the beach, strolling carelessly on the coast, thinking only of the light breeze that was soflty hitting my skin and going through my thin and strawberry blond-like hair, but with who? I don't remember. The image was a blur.
When I decided to concentrate on the present, I realised that in reality I wasn't walking. My feet were in the air, swaying side to side.
"OH!" The animal got startled by my sudden outburst. It stood with it's hind legs for a few seconds and then stamped it's hooves alternitavely three, four times.
What was I doing on top of a horse? I have no experience on horseback. I must be dreaming. There is nothing else that could explain this insanity.
Searching inside my jumbled brain for the best possibility of what has happened to me, the result was nothing but a goose egg. How is it logical to be in some place at one point and then find yourself in a world of complete atypicality the next? There must be a way to find out, although it may be difficult to achieve.
Firstly, I have no clue to where I am going - especially with my new surroundings, and secondly, there was no sight of inhabitants in any direction to ask someone for help.
This was just my luck.
Ever since childhood, my luck was as good as the lotto; one in infinity chance of winning. I was always the person in the infinity and never the person who won the prize of one million dollars.
I let the horse lead the way, just in case it recognised any smell that passed us, helping as we went. I didn't know if that was a smart thing to do. What should I know? All I knew right now was that I was lost and nothing could help me in this difficult situation. I hope there aren't any creepy creatures out here.
Abruptly, it was as if the forest had heard my thoughts and made it reality.
I saw some bushes at a steps distance move. I could feel the horse getting unsettled by the sound and I started searching for a way to defend myself. When looking, I realised that my clothes were not of my taste. From my usual wardrobe, these were more classical. It was a nice, ivory, knee-high dress which at the same time looked quite classy.
This is definately a dream, it can't be anything else. I am fooling myslef if I am lost, I thought to myself. But I must not waste much time. Something is in those bushes and I have to do something about it.
The figure emerged from the bushes and lunged itself towards me.

Bank of Canada holds rates, sees faster rebound
By Louise Egan
OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada's economy may rebound more sharply than anticipated in the second half of this year, the Bank of Canada said on Thursday while holding its key interest rate unchanged at 0.25 percent, as expected.
In a mostly upbeat statement that triggered a rise in the Canadian dollar, the bank said expansionary fiscal and monetary policies, improvements in financial markets, higher commodity prices and a return of confidence have buoyed the economy.
"Combined with recent information on inventory adjustments and automotive production, this suggests that GDP growth in the second half of 2009 could be stronger than the bank projected in July," it said in a statement.
In July the bank projected average annualized growth of 2.15 percent in the second half, with 1.3 percent in the third quarter and 3.0 percent in the fourth.
It won't provide forecasts for next year until October 22, when it publishes its quarterly Monetary Policy Report.
Despite the revised outlook, the central bank repeated its pledge to hold the overnight target rate at its historic low level until the end of June next year as long as inflation stays in check.
It also once again warned that "persistent strength in the Canadian dollar" remained a risk to the economic recovery and to inflation, and said it could react by taking unconventional measures as needed to support growth, such as printing money.
But its language on the currency was no tougher than in the recent past. Most market players do not believe the bank will intervene to brake the currency's surge from the four-year low it hit in March. Continued...

A largely overlooked but important piece of the special teams puzzled was resolved today when Justin Drescher, the Saints' current long snapper, was locked up for four years. It's a modest deal, I'm sure, probably averaging less than $1 million per season. Here's the confirmation from the man himself: Back for 4 more years! Thanks for all well wishes and support #Whodatnation Y'all are the best fans in the game! #WhoDat — Justin Drescher (@jdrescher88) March 13, 2013 Drescher was a non-tendered restricted free agent, mostly because the Saints didn't want to invest the non cap friendly one year deal in him when they could lock him up more long term to a deal that is easier on their currently tight financial status.

RSL accomplished all those things with one dominating display at Rio Tinto Stadium. Alvaro Saborio notched a hat trick to help give Real Salt Lake a 3-0 victory against the Portland Timbers.
The Timbers defended well in the first half, keeping RSL off the board, but Real Salt Lake finally broke through in the 60th minute when Saborio finished off a Kyle Beckerman pass to open the scoring. He added his second just two minutes later before capping his hat-trick with a 75th-minute penalty kick.
The loss was a bitter pill for a Timbers side that came in feeling good after a crucial mid-week victory against MLS leaders San Jose. On Saturday, Portland was thoroughly dominated, and didn't muster a single shot on goal all night.
Some of the credit for RSL's dominating defensive showing has to go to star centerback Jamison Olave, who return to action after missing the past four matches with an injury. It isn't a coincidence that RSL failed to win a match without the imposing Colombian defender.
Here are the match highlights:
What did you think of the match? Impressed with RSL's offense on the night? Disappointed with Portland's non-existent offense?

So much for the course correction in PDX
The only good thing from Portland in that stadium was the Timbers army. I thought they had energy.
One thing was pretty clear and that was the Timbers had very little shot of getting the ball in the net.
Futty Danso should have been red carded. I don't see how punching, or slapping a guy in the face can get you a red card, but fish hooking a guy who just made you look silly and blew past you is not a straight red.
The "Hack Javi" nonsense must stop or he is going to suffer another gruesome injury. How many times? Every single team does the same thing every week over and over with the late tackles or tackles from behind.
We need to protect the skill players in MLS or it will turn back to hackball of 2001.
incredible footwork by Morales at just after 5 min
Agreed. The whole team was after him. He was livid midway through the second match and had every right to be. Timbers were playing a little thugish last night. 17 fouls, 5 yellow cards and a red (granted from a hand ball).
He has shown a bit of his magic as of late. He still isn't up to par with his almost MVP year.
I saw the video of that hacks on Javier Morales–cannot believe the first was not a red card. I found this article written over a year ago about Javi hacks and his broken leg and teammates were saying then then it was only a question of time. And if he ends up, as you say, with another gruesome injury it will be impossible to forgive MLS management for allowing this to continue on and on and on…
I don't understand why the MLS Players Union does not get involved in this and demand more protection for players.
Real Salt Lake doesn't believe Javier Morales' injury was a coincidence
It really comes down to the referees being able to control the game. This ref lost control early in the 2nd half.
It really felt like the game against Chivas where Javi got that nasty injury. The ref had no control, and didn't even give a card until he actually saw Javi's injury. Unless the referees are willing (and able) to take control of the game, more injuries like this will happen and the league will suffer as a result.
I have to ask again, why are referees in the MLS so bad? I know it seems cliche, but its actually still a huge problem, and not just with the newer refs.
The referees are just plain bad in MLS but we all know that. It was clear from the first whistle that Chara and Palmer were just playing the man, Javier, and not the ball. It continued all night long with cheap shots from behind. These were not good professional fouls or even late challenges while trying to play the ball. They were cheap shots meant to take the opposing team out of rhythm.
Yes, the refs need to be much better early on in taking control. But the coaches in this league also need to be held accountable. This was clearly a team strategy to commit cheap fouls and antagonize. That is not acceptable and MLS needs to look into it. Playing a defensive style and sitting back is fine. Even physical defense and professional fouls are fine. But the cheap shots and targeting of specific players has to be stopped in MLS.

I am extremely disappointed in the response (or lack thereof) from
Jasen's regarding a chair I bought there 15 months ago. The first time we had the chair cleaned, two seams on the arms fell apart. On the phone, their rep admitted that this should not have happened but they said that
the manufacturer indicated that the chair was no longer under warranty, (by two months). I contacted the manufacturer who indicated that Jasen's should be able to help me. Instead, they indicated that they could be of no service and that they would no longer take my calls. This was the response before I even had a
chance to get combative! It was a horrible response to a relatively
small matter that could have been worked out. They definitely lost

Azealia Banks returned to social media in a naked blaze of incoherent rambling before swiftly suspending her account once more.
The 24-year-old had stepped away from social media just two weeks ago following a string of keyboard wars and becoming disillusioned with online media, reports Mashable.
Then, after 14 days and nights of soul searching, and remembering she has a mixtape to promote, the 212 artist returned to reveal the very naked artwork for SLAY-Z.
She gave fans the image they need to keep an eye out for in iTunes…
But also the uncovered edition too.
Things escalated very quickly since the images were uploaded, however, and the Manhattan native was arguing like a trooper once again.
Topics of conversation included how illness and cancer has become a 'business' in the U.S., and how it can be treated by 'spiritual practitioners' with anti-fungal herbal medicine…
I read that cancer is not actually an abnormal growth of cells, that it's simply an overgrowth of candida
— AZEALIABANKS (@AZEALIABANKS) March 26, 2016
Candida is a fungus. Lots of holistic and spiritual practitioners can heal that fungus with anti-fungal herbal medicine.
— AZEALIABANKS (@AZEALIABANKS) March 26, 2016
Well she definitely sparks a debate for her followers, where she gets her 'facts' from I'm not sure.
Although she had that issue covered too…
Fact is "logic". "logic" is a CREATION of the human psyche. even "facts" are subjective babe. https://t.co/wRU35g3JL3

Brody Dalle
Though she's laid low in recent years to tend to her growing family and the health issues of her husband (Queens of the Stone Age singer Josh Homme), Brody Dalle has quietly been crafting a solo record, due to release any minute now. Enlisting A-list support from the likes of Alain Johannes and Michael Shuman from QOTSA, along with Nick Valensi of The Strokes, Warpaint's Emily Kokal and Shirley Manson of Garbage, the Australian-born singer is playing a rare local show before heading to Europe for a string of solo dates, then traveling down to Australia and New Zealand to open for Nine Inch Nails, and, yes, Queens of the Stone Age next month. With her work in The Distillers and Spinnerette in the rearview mirror, Dalle brings her contralto-piped singing to a relatively small setting—we're interested to hear how she sounds.

Struggling small miners vulnerable to mid-sized rivals
* Africa and Latin America to see consolidation
* Mid-caps to lead M&A as majors cut spending
* New investment vehicles expected to buy in 2014
By Stephen Eisenhammer
LONDON, Jan 16 (Reuters) - A year of tumbling share prices and a shrinking pool of funding have left smaller mining companies vulnerable to the approaches of medium-sized rivals with cash in the bank and an eye for a bargain.
Investors and executives told Reuters they saw opportunities for mid-caps and turnaround specialists in regions such as Latin America and Africa as some small companies, typically those involved in the capital-intensive early stages of a project, struggle to secure funding from banks or the market.
The gold sector is likely to see the most M&A activity as the metal price languishes 25 percent lower than a year ago, and a number of potential deals are already in the works. Equities were hit even harder than bullion; the Thomson Reuters Global Gold Index of 43 gold miners more than halved in 2013.
Industry insiders said the trend would also spread across base metals and iron ore. Nearly all junior miners were hit last year, with the Thomson Reuters index of 144 resources companies listed on London's alternative market (AIM) down 33 percent in 2013.
"Many of the smaller exploration companies are very short of cash and may well go under this year unless either new equity is found or the company is acquired," said Ian Coles, partner at law firm Mayer Brown who specialises in mining finance. Continued...

If you have a question about this talk, please contact David Titterington.
Study of the Epoch of Reionization (EoR) and the first luminous sources is a field at the forefront of observational cosmology. Over the coming decade the first experiments to study this missing chapter in the early history of the universe will come online and begin making observations using redshifted 21 cm hyperfine line emission from the neutral hydrogen that pervaded the IGM during this epoch. Detection of this emission on top of foregrounds five orders of magnitude greater in intensity will be a significant challenge in requiring precise instrumental calibration, and accurate characterisation and subtraction of the foreground sources. This talk will describe aspects of the ongoing effort to model multiple components of the EoR foreground and the related task of uncovering the origins of the significant excess emission found by the ARCADE2 experiment.

WE'VE all heard of parkour — but this is more BARKOUR.
Meet TreT the Ukranian "super dog", whose owner has trained him to freerun.
The American Staffordshire Terrior has built up an army of online fans since
his owner posted clips on YouTube — with his latest video, seen here,
already soaring past 300,000 views.
The energetic pooch can SCALE walls and has been trained to balance on high
beams and spring onto small ledges.
Freerunning and parkour normally involve flexible humans making amazing jumps
up buildings and leaping between objects in public places.
But TreT's owner — known only as Eugene — says he has trained his talented pet
to perform the tricks on his own.
And he's promising to reveal the secrets of his training "in the near future"
on his website.
Perhaps he just hid lots of dog biscuits in high places…?

This is an ESPN insider piece, but it basically makes the case I've been making for two months now. It's all about Peyton.
Highlights include:
The best quarterback switch a team has made after a disaster season is the 2007 Miami Dolphins, who inserted Chad Pennington and went from one win to 11. Think about that: Pennington has been the best upgrade for a league-worst team in the following year for 15 years. With Manning back next year, the Colts would be going from the worst quarterbacking in the league to something close to the best. The win improvement will be dramatic.
In reality, drafting high on occasion has no correlation with sustained success. Ask Detroit or Cincinnati. You don't win because you draft high. You win because you get good quarterbacking and draft well enough.
Moreover, the idea of "blowing up" a roster is laughable in the NFL. Teams turn over an average of about 20 percent of their rosters each year, and injuries just exacerbate that. Ask the Green Bay Packers, who won the last Super Bowl with 14 players on injured reserve. The team with the most turnover in the last two years is Seattle, who started 2011 with just six players from their Week 1 roster from 2008. But the turnover has meant little because the quarterbacking has been so poor. Real roster turnover usually starts with turning over the quarterback.

Aboriginal entrepreneurs looking to develop tourism ventures along British Columbia's coast say their plans have been set adrift by Liberals' cuts to BC Ferries.
The government's decision to sink the money-losing summer run between Port Hardy on Vancouver Island and Bella Coola on the Central Coast has prompted one First Nation and a major tourism agency to re-evalutate their tourism strategies.
After investing $1.5-million over the past two years, the Aboriginal Tourism Association of B.C. says the impending cuts to ferry service have forced it to gear down campaigns to train coastal First Nations to embrace tourism opportunities.
What's the point of going full-speed-ahead on tourism when the government has left operators and residents with the 16-vehicle, barge-like MV Nimpkish, to provide a milk-run service for the nine-hour voyage from Bella Bella to Bella Coola, says Keith Henry, the association's chief executive.
Transportation Minister Todd Stone says the government and B.C. taxpayers can't keep bailing out BC Ferries, which is why service and route cuts are coming next month in an effort to hold down fare increases and keep the service sustainable.
Mr. Henry said the decision to eliminate Route 40, or the Discovery Coast route, this year downgrades the Central Coast's circle tour travel package that included a 115-vehicle vessel with full services that made stops at the traditional communities of Bella Bella, Klemtu, Ocean Falls and Bella Coola, where travellers would get off to take a land journey through the Cariboo-Chilcotin to the Lower Mainland.
BC Ferries will continue to sail the Northern Expedition from Port Hardy to Prince Rupert, with a stop at Bella Bella. But at Bella Bella tourists and locals would have to board the MV Nimpkish, currently undergoing a refit to install seats, interior heat and potable water, for the voyage up the fjord to Bella Coola.
"Organizations like ours, we're doing a lot to try and bring more people through," Mr. Henry said in an interview. "That's critical to our success. But if we can't get visitors there efficiently, that's unfortunate. I can tell you confidently, we've started to minimize our investments around training and product development."
The association sent Premier Christy Clark a letter last December outlining its concerns about the impending cuts.
"The proposed BC Ferries reductions will have an immediate and significant negative financial impact to aboriginal market-ready businesses and product development work currently in the regions of Vancouver Island, Vancouver coast and mountains, Cariboo Chilcotin coast and northern British Columbia," the letter stated.
Mr. Henry said the numbers of travellers wanting an aboriginal tourism experience in B.C. are increasing every year, and he believes it's tied to the authenticity being offered travellers. Aboriginal tourism in B.C. earned $45-million last year, up from $20-million in 2012.
The Tourism Industry Association of B.C. also publicly expressed concern about the impact of the ferry service and route cuts.
"The timing of this announcement couldn't have been worse," said Ian Robertson, association executive director in a statement last month. "Tourism operators in these regions have been receiving bookings for the 2014 season for months, and now they will have to be cancelled."
Mr. Stone was not available to comment, but his ministry provided a statement saying it is aware cuts will hurt, but the government's goal is to run an affordable, efficient, sustainable ferry system.
"These are tough decisions to make. We recognize that any reduction in service will impact ferry users."
BC Ferries is expected to make $54-million in cuts through efficiencies by 2016 and the service reductions are estimated to save $18.9-million over two years, while fares are set to increase 4 per cent this year and 3.9 per cent in 2015.

- - my start to the season (http://www.deerhuntersclub.com/forums/bow-hunting/8212-my-start-season.html)
my start to the season
Well season here started Thursday & this seems to be the best start I have ever had although I have not harvested any thing yet I have seen more deer then ever & had a missed opportunity on the 11 pointer I was chasing last year was 30 yards never saw the headgear till it was to late we cant shoot doe till Oct 1st so I needed to see the rack before I could shoot even though I knew it was way to big of a body to be a doe
well thats how it goes but at least I got him tracked down! at least for now
a good start is always motivating, good luck to you, hope you get a chance at ole #11
Well you've done more than I have... Unfortunately, we have an EXTREMELY collic baby at home and every waking second she's awake she's SCREAMING her head off (except when she's eating).
Haven't even been out yet... did check my trail cams and got some decent young bucks on there.. I'll post them in the pictures folder!
yeah still not much on mine last few pic's were of bear so I moved the cams & we will see in a week what I got
Awesome.. Your making me jealous. I need to get in the woods. Hope Mr. 11 shows back up and turns broadside for you at 22 yards. Just dont miss!
well I would have taken him even at 40 yards
just did the right thing & did not shoot even though I knew it was a buck
but just could not see his head to have that last 1% to be 100% positive
I did see him again last night on an edge of a swamp feeding but he was well over 300 yards got dark before he started his way towards me
so he is still in the area will try again tonight
sounds like you are in his core area. Good luck and shoot straight.
Sounds like a better solution than a dose of Sampson snake root.
well Tator if you weren't haning out at the truck stop trying to get that 15 minutes of fame you could be out in the woods J/K hope the little one is doing ok
well saw Evander 11 pointer ( named him due to a chunk missing out of his ear) again unfortunately for me he was 400 yards away across an old swamp no way to get closer to him. Watched him for 20 minutes bedding down / eating the bushes then just walked away the opposite direction
I feel I am getting close to flinging an arrow at him & hope to get that chance before rifle season as the woods I am in gets a lot of pressure during that time

Charlottesville Graphic Designer Named Marketing Director For Virginia Company
Roy McClanahan of Remcographics.com named Marketing Director for Virginia Select Marketing, LLC
Virginia Select Marketing, LLC, a company specializing in marketing Virginia-Made products to the far east, has named Roy McClanahan of Remcographics.com their Marketing Director. The mission of Virginia Select Marketing, LLC is to brand and promote Virginia-Made products within specified Asian regions as an exclusive, top-of-the line product manufacturer, especially within the Food and Beverage Industry.
The wine industry in Virginia is a priority for VSM, LLC mainly because of the Chinese Government's declarations, policies and announcements on behalf of western wines, and China's upper class citizens and high-profile business communities that have embraced wine as the beverage for the most successful in the Chinese business world. This new-found love of western wines has dramatically increased sales in recent years by an astounding rate.
McClanahan along with the company's other two founders, so far, have been instrumental in acquiring major Virginia Wineries as associates for the company including: Trump Winery, Chateau Morrisette, Barboursville Vineyards, Prince Michele and Williamsburg Winery. "Wine"
"All of this", says McClanahan, "will not cost the seller virtually anything, due to our process. So it's really a no-brainer for any Virginia based manufacturer that's interested in tapping into China's rapid growth."
McClanahan lives and works in Shenzhen, China; a city just north of Hong Kong and returns frequently to the U.S. on business. He plans on creating a base there for the company that will help propel the Virginia brand as being the finest America has to offer.

Has Scott fallen off the wagon? A new, horrifying report claims that the reality star was spotted drunk earlier in December, and that now Kourtney is worried for her beau's safety, and pleading for him to get help.
Anyone who has watched Keeping Up with the Kardashians knows about Scott Disick's troubles with drinking. And after his mother died in October, they allegedly may have returned — and Kourtney Kardashian, the mother of his two children, doesn't know what to do.
Scott Disick: Drinking Again?
"Kourtney is beside herself," a family insider told the National Enquirer. The source alleges that Scott began drinking again to ease his grief when his mother suddenly died in October. But that mourning has reportedly turned into something else.
"She was giving him time to grieve, but now he's drinking with a vengeance," the insider claims.
Scott's alleged substance abuse was reportedly on display on Dec. 7, when he attended Kanye West's concert in Houston, Tex. The 30-year-old was allegedly spotted swaying, staggering, and looking bleary-eyed. And a month earlier, Scott was seen in a Tucson, Ariz. bar partying it up and pouring vodka shots, according to Radar Online.
Kourtney Kardashian: Wants Scott Disick In Rehab?
Now Kourtney is reportedly trying to take control: "She wants him in rehab or going to AA meetings at they very least," the same source says.
Not only for her sake, but for Mason, 4, and Penelope, 18 months, too. "Kourtney doesn't want her kids to have a drunk dad," the insider says. "She's read up on how it affects the rest of their lives, so she wants to stop this before it gets out of hand."
Hopefully, Scott can get the help he needs, if he truly needs it. What do you think, HollywoodLifers? Let us know!

Introducing Micro Units: The Future Of Vancouver Real Estate
Have we finally found the answer to the Vancouver housing crisis? Are micro units, small condos and bachelor suites the way of the future; able to douse our city's precariously overheated housing market in a cool shower of affordable, convenient rental units?
It seems the question is still up for debate here in the, albeit beautiful, third least affordable housing market on the globe.
When it comes to micro units, there is much to talk about -- starting with how the heck to get your hands on a mortgage for one. In this case, unfortunately, it seems lenders really do subscribe to the notion that bigger is better. We're talking literally here, too.
Some time ago the city of Vancouver pushed through a bylaw prohibiting sale of any ultra-small or micro rental unit that measures less than 320 square feet total.
The city may grant exceptions at the planning stage that would allow the developer to build smaller units. But with the affordability crisis in the Vancouver housing market coming to a head these last few years, there are those who argue that the impact of this bylaw has effectively been to push out anyone who may be able to enter the market with a smaller property, and therefore a smaller financial investment as well.
With Vancouver's one per cent vacancy rate, and density becoming a major issue, something's got to give.
Financing a small unit will present more challenges and some lenders will only lend if the mortgage is insured. Other options would include monoline lenders, B lenders and even private lenders.
Interestingly, micro units tend to secure more rent per square foot, which could add fuel to the unaffordable housing cost crisis; at least, that's what the powers that be say. Due to the number of built-in necessities these tiny units demand (bath, shower, microwave, desk and so forth), developers must pay a pretty penny to outfit suites with everything a person needs. But an article in the Globe and Mail last year asked a poignant question: "Is it fair to expect people to live in less than 300 square feet and pay top dollar for it?"
It went on to say that developers like the idea of purchasing micro suites for obvious reasons: as unit size decreases and towers rise higher, their returns balloon. But even for those who don't like the idea of micro units have to admit: with Vancouver's one per cent vacancy rate, and density becoming a major issue, something's got to give.
Another shocker in B.C. is the birthrate -- the lowest in the entire country. A fact that many have blamed on the exorbitant cost of living. Upwards of 58 per cent of households don't have children in them.
There are, however, a lot of people who don't think that means living in a 300-square-foot space is the answer -- and Tsur Somerville might be one of them. The associate professor at UBC's Centre for Urban Economics and Real Estate told CBC news that public spaces become "a bigger part of your life" if you're in such a small space. With such little room to breathe, the city becomes an extension of your living space. But isn't that true for all of us?
Even UBC is jumping on the proverbial micro unit bandwagon. Last summer the University, located at least 45 minutes from downtown by transit, had a staggering 6,300 students on a waiting list for campus housing.
Andrew Parr, UBC's managing director of student housing and hospitality services, opened a dialogue up with student leaders about the problem of housing affordability. By the end of these talks, 61 micro units 140 square feet in size, were scheduled to be built by 2019. These units will rent for between $670 and $690 a month, instead of the average $1,000; not a nominal gap by any standards (especially a student's wallet).
Despite the challenges posed by these tiny spaces, it would seem they're here to stay, in which case we need to focus on the positives. As pointed out by Sandra Rinomato, living in a micro unit can afford you a fantastic location as all these units are being built in dense urban areas with low rental availability and sky-high rents.
That means you get to live in some of the most exciting urban areas without paying the less-than-exciting monthly rents that come with them. They also force you to think about what truly matters in terms of material things. With space saving furniture to maximize space, trips to the nearest home design centre are unnecessary and collectibles infringe on living space. This minimalist way of life is being embraced by millennials in particular, who value experiences, environment and their community over amassing material wealth and assets.
Even with everything you need, it's not hard to see how these units could feel confining with time. So if a micro unit is on your radar, finding helpful methods to downsize and embrace the experience is paramount to your well-being.
And if that doesn't work, there's always the coffee shop downstairs.

Location: Tusket Island Chain, Yarmouth County, N.S. Price: $65,000 A great place for a summer retreat, the Big Tusket Island Parcel is actually two pieces of land that total 37 acres of size. The chain, a group of granite islands located off of Nova Scotia's Southwestern coast, is primarily uninhabited. The islands offer a very natural environment and is home to a number of unique lighthouses. There's electricity on both islands, and amenities are available in Comeau's Hill — an attractive Acadian coastal town. (Photo: PrivateIslandsOnline.com)
Location: Lama Passage, B.C. Price: $249,000 Lizzies Cove Island is a magnificent 6.5-acre, virgin-forested island with almost two kilometres of ocean front.

Location: Mahone Bay, N.S. Price: $90,000 At 11.5 acres, Tancook Island is the largest island in Mahone Bay — an area with lots of fishing and about 125 year-round residents. (Photo: Private Islands Online)
Location: Stuart Lake, B.C. Price: $431,482 Johnson Island is a private, 20-acre space that has been occupied by the same family since 1947. It has about one kilometre of shoreline, and the cabin's beachfront has stunning views of the northern lights and stunning sunsets. The cabin, built in 1949, is made of reclaimed old growth timber from the island. It has a large front room divided into a kitchen, as well as a comfortable dining room. The house, which sleeps six people, also has a detached shower room and smokehouse. Access is by float plane or boat, the latter of which can be launched from the nearby village of Tachi. (Photo: Private Islands Online)
Location: Ontario, near Manitoulin Island Price: $103,000 Little Island, or Jenny Island, is a historically significant commercial fishing outport, where the fisherman and their families lived for the season during the 1800s and early 1900s. The land is accessible both by boat and by plane. (Photo: Private Islands Online)
Location: Southern Gulf Islands, B.C. Price: $380,000 This 7.5-acre property has been left entirely in its natural state. Located in the southern Gulf Islands, it's a completely private island with an impressive fir forest. The island isn't far from Ladysmith, and sits in the Stuart Channel. (Photo: Private Islands Online)
Location: Mitchell Bay, N.S. Price: $150,000 Just 290 metres from the mainland, Tidmarsh Island has 24 acres of land that boats a thick forest a natural cove for mooring. Halifax is about two hours away, and the town of Sheet Harbour — with shops and amenities — is less than a half-hour trip. (Photo: Private Islands Online)
Location: B.C. Price: $449,000 Echo Island, which is a 25-minute flight in a float plane from Williams Lake, is made up of four, one-acre lots. There's a dedicated road just for the island, a bridge crossing for ATVs, and pedestrian access from mainland to island. There's also a 15-metre dock neighbouring the two-bedroom cabin.
