I have a few more ??? OK MY Grandfather was a painter Ill post a few. Pix in a min...anyways Ive been using a lot of his stuff what ever the family didn't steal or sell that is.When he died 7 years ago there easy cases upon cases of royal purple,atf+4 stabil etc as he bought in bulk well there was half a case of 3m w&g remover in a aerosol can&that's what Ive been using is this the right stuff?Also should I use no soap when I wash before primer&do I wash or just wipe after primer?Also can I primer it today if I'm not gonna sand it out&shoot it till sat?Lastly so 100@compressor &30-35@gun correct?&should I not shoot when the comp cycles?It kicks on@100&will keep up with me spraying.
Congratulation on getting the glass, for free too, way to go...
Now the bounty left by your grandfather, do you know how long he had it before you started using it? Has it ever been frozen or stored in a place where temperature gets extreme, both hot and cold? Do you get your problems when you use this product and not when you don't? The reason I ask is because paint manufacturers, in most cases, have a 2 year shelf life on their products, that's not to say that they won't work after 2 years, it's just that it's a best before date and 7 years since your grandfather past away is way past that best before date... (and how long before your grandfather passed away was it purchased)... it could have an effect on the quality of the product. I've had paint in my mixing room as old as 7 years, but it's been stored properly, sealed properly and it worked fine. I've also seen paint and other related products go "seedy" much sooner and seedy is what your problem did look like. That's why I asked if there was any correlation between you using your grandfather's product and the problems your having? Try using fresher products and see if there is a difference.
Wax and grease remover is exactly that, it removes wax and grease. I prefer a final wash, or spirit wipe, the product goes by many names, it designed to take light surface dust and minor contaminants (like finger prints etc.) off your vehicle prior to painting. It takes less time to dry and doesn't leave any film on your painting surface, as wax and grease remover can leave a film on your surface, especially if it's the age that your grandfather left you.
If you use soap and water to wash a car down before you primer, use a mild dish soap and wash it off with plenty of water and dry the surface thoroughly before applying and new product over top. Again, it must be washed/rinsed thoroughly with water after and dried.
Depending on the temperature that you are priming at and the suggested cure time of the manufacturer it is possible to prime today, providing that the temperatures allow for proper cure by the time you paint. If the primer is not cured through completely, you are trapping solvents, causing the paint to sink, leaving sand scratches and gloss die off, down the road and worse case, paint peeling off as the solvents try to escape...so make sure that the primer is not just dry, it needs to be cured.
If you can maintain proper air pressure at the regulator when the compressor cycles, you can continue painting, just make sure that your compressor doesn't get to warm causing condensation coming from the compressor, into your paint air supply hose and onto your paint. The moisture in the compressor has oil and other contaminants within it...it could in effect cause the reaction that you are experiencing now.
Cool pic's of your grandfather, I'm sure he was a great guy, most car guys are.
I hope this information helps and good luck.

Since 1995, the typical "SPARC" based systems selling for $25,000+ have been been out-classed by competing Intel based systems selling for less than $2,000. I've always been amazed that Sun has lasted so long. Well, no more! Larry and Oracle are buying up the Sun scraps - along with the Sun lawyers. The only sad thing is Java may die along with it.
Here's the plan - sell Sun the SparkFun.com web domain name for $12.2 Billion, rename SparkFun to ArcFun, and then you can be remorseful (and wealthy) for the inconvenience you caused them.
No public wish lists :(

Product Description
The devil is in the (delicious) details.
Our meticulous process eliminates any trace of bitterness in the nuts and, most importantly, helps minimize absorption of the organic canola oil we use for roasting. This technique has lots of benefits:
- A lighter nut with amazing crunch
- Less oil = less fat per nut = a healthier nut
- Gives the nuts a perfect, wafer-thin coating of pure cane sugar
- More nuts per ounce than other brands

According to ESPN.com
The coles and moss trade is complete pending physical. Do you think this is the right move, and do you think were still gonna go after Mike?

One thing's for sure, we won't be hurting for punt returners.
I don't know that we'll get Williams (it really seems like a stretch if we don't trade up), but I think we'll definitely get a big guy. Chris Henry is 6'4" and espn had him as the 5th WR in the draft. He only weighs 200 lbs, so he must be skinny. There's also a kid out of UGA, Fred Gibson who's 6'4".

From a Seahawks fan i could see it, but how could a "True Redskin" say that Coles is scared to go over the middle? Did you ever see a Redskins game man? Coles was the recipient of two of the biggest hits over the middle of the entire season, one from Michael Lewis, and one from f*cking Ray Lewis. And he hung on to both of those balls I would like to add, and got up and made the first down sign. That is one tough SOB. I am going to miss him greatly.
Santana Moss is nowhere near the receiver Coles is. I hope we get a pick in addition to him, or that we sneakily knew that Coles's toe injury is debilitating to the extent that he probably won't be able to play in 2 years. Not that I hope for any injury to him, just that that turn of events would in some way explain the trade to me.
The only good thing I see coming out of this is that it makes much more clear our need to trade up to get Mike Williams or Braylon Edwards. I actually think Williams is the better target for us, even though I think Braylon is probably better. We don't need Braylon's ability to stretch the field anymore, not with Moss and Patten being added in the last 48 hours. Williams offers a different dimension in terms of being that overpowering possession guy, the type who will have 100 catches and 14 TDs, but only with 1000 yards. If we added him, perhaps through a trade-up involving Gardner, I would then feel really good about our WRs.

I couldn't agree more. I hated the fac ttha Coles didn't want to be here because he was a core guy who did anything the coach asked include getting layed out once or twice to make the first down. The guys played hurt for the last two years. He was a warrior, period.
I am glad for the trade only b/c I dont want a guy here that doesn't want to be here, but it explains our timidness in Free Agency, we needed to preserve the cap room to make the trade.
Where are we going with Defensive End? I don't see news of anyone coming to Washington to interview. Are we waiting for the third round in the draft?

I'm sad to see Coles go, but I am happy that we are getting a playmaker like Moss in return, instead of just loosing Coles in FA.
Coles is stupid, it isn't like he's going to blow it up in NY's conservative offense, they are almost as bad as we are as far as being conservative.

the bad part about this trade is the 9 Mil cap hit we take for the trade. Now we have to pace our selves on who we get.

coles is an A hole, Snyder told him when we thought the trade was dead that he'd buy him a HD Tv, so Coles could watch the game from home, because he'd be watching it there for the next 2 years till the Redskins cut him....
And you know what I say to that, they should have done that, it would have been more cost effective that giving him 9 milliion to leave, and now having to probably resign Santana Moss to a big contract either this year or next year in order to keep him.
Good for Snyder, I think he's finally getting smart this offseason, he's getting mad at players for abusing the money he throws at them to give him a winning team.
I think now that Snyder is getting smarter with his money and the team, and I expect us to be better for it in the future!

It might be difficult to lure future FAs if they started treating their players like that.
I can understand Dan's dissapointment though. We probably shouldn't have made the trade without getting out of the huge cap hit (assuming that's possible). He said early on that he would have played hard if he had to remain with the Skins. The whole thing got out of hand when the story made it to the press though.

Memory Cleaner
Memory Cleaner - Screenshots - Testimonials - Feedback
Tech-savvy folk are divided over how useful memory cleaning tools can be because Windows (Vista upwards at least) manage memory reasonably well. Most memory cleaning tools are not very useful because many of them use ill-advised techniques that are only relevant to older versions of Windows (pre-Vista).
MemoryCleaner is considerably better because it uses functions built into Windows to judiciously free memory - with no performance impact whatsoever. You can now access Memory Cleaner functions from the tray icon without having to open up the main window. The cleaning prodecures are both silent and the only alert you will see is the amount of RAM recovered briefly displayed in the window.
If you find your RAM usage exceeding 60% regularly, then MemoryCleaner is an absolute must have.

How to achieve this stucco texture? --pix inside...
Ive removed a few windows in my house and also installed some french doors.
Id like to match the original texture of the surrounding stucco in the openings i need to patch. It seems to have some fine aggregate added to it to give it texture. Its like really small round stones or really large grains of sand. in the pictures its the white texture.
what should i add to the stucco to match this texture? Where can i get it....? etc.
also the grey texture is "texture paint" applied in the 60's or 70's, id assume.
do they still sell something i can use to approximate the texture?
thanks in advance!
Looks like a heavy popcorn spray-texture.
FWIW: That texture was done with a spray-machine.
Most of your pictures are Dash and are done with a spray rig. As AWBC said.
The one with the flat spots is knock down it can also be done useing a machine.

So last night one of the guys I train with over here was fighting amateur MMA just north of Montreal, given I'd never been to an amateur event I thought I'd go.
I wasn't sure of the rules before I went but it was :-
10oz Gloves but with open fingers inside, so they're boxing gloves but the palms are open.
No knees at all (body or head)
No Elbows of course..
Kicks to body and head standing but with sparring shinpads..
Headshots on the floor..
It was all rather bizarre, no knees at all made clinching kinda pointless, getting mount didn't end any fights as the guys could cover well with bigger gloves and when someone had someone's back, they never finished as the gloves were too big to get an RNC in..
I much prefer the UK amateur and semi-pro set ups..
Any thoughts/comments?

I was really looking forward to this place open, as it was within walking distance of my apartment but it was been somewhat of a disappointment. Its kind of hidden behind a Best Buy in a bar that has changed owners a few times, I believe. Beer selection is good but the service is spotty and the regulars are kind of dirty. There are some great specials during the week. Once stopped in and they had pints of New Belgium/Alpine Super IPA for $2.50.

A sports bar and grill in south Fort Collins. Typical sports bar ambiance, lots of TVs and open space, pool tables and a jukebox. The service and food were good, nothing special. 40 taps overall featuring a lot of local beer, some west coast stuff and a few domestics, not bad. They definitely had a few Ive never had before. It was just OK, I probably wont be back anytime soon. Theres just so many good beer bars and breweries in Fort Collins, this one doesnt stand out.
dmogie (1) Fort Collins, Colorado | January 29, 2013
A very large selection of draft beers from around the world and it changes weekly. The food is over-the-top for a "sports bar" and you can tell that the chef really cares. On-site smoked meats are a BIG plus!

solid roller question
in looking for more power is a solid roller cam just that muhc better than a hydralic roller??? i was looking at two different 496 dyno test on superchevy.com and the 496 with a hydr. roller never got above 600hp but the solid roller was well above the 600 mark and pretty early??? the builds are very simliar except for a few differences like rockers, cam and slightly bigger bigger heads. so is a solid just that much better????

The role isn't new. Kirk Saarloos was a closer for three years at Cal State Fullerton, saving 22 games. He made 32 relief appearances with the Astros in 2003, taking part in a six-pitcher no-hitter at Yankee Stadium, and also pitched twice in relief a year ago.
Considering he's a sinkerball pitcher adept at getting ground balls, Saarloos could be used often with runners on base to try getting a double
"If I execute and do what I'm supposed to do, it's going to be on the ground," Saarloos said. "It's not going to be a popup or strikeout."
Saarloos gave himself practice Sunday, getting out of jams in two of his three innings, giving up just one run in the A's 8-5 win over the Angels at Phoenix Municipal Stadium.
One was a 3-6-1 double play in which Saarloos scooped a low throw. He even struck out two batters.
Saarloos' 2.99 strikeouts per nine innings last year was the lowest in Oakland history. Saarloos joked to general manager Billy Beane that he's
going to be a different pitcher this year.
"I'm throwing hard and striking guys out," Saarloos said. "You don't have to pace yourself or worry about pitch counts. I'm throwing eight pitches to each hitter, trying to strike them out -- especially with that yakker I'm throwing this year."
--SS Bobby Crosby, the designated hitter for a third game because of a minor case of shoulder tendinitis, had two hits and a walk on Sunday. Manager Ken Macha said he'll give Crosby a couple days off and have the medical staff re-evaluate Crosby's shoulder. He could be ready to play in the field by Thursday. Crosby has been red-hot at the plate this spring and leads the team in RBI.
--INF Andrew Beattie, one of the minor-leaguers getting more playing time with Crosby not cleared to play the field, made two fine defensive
plays Sunday and added a single.
--LHP Joe Kennedy pitched two scoreless innings and has only allowed one baserunner in 3 1/3 innings this spring.
--RHP Huston Street allowed one hit in a scoreless inning for Team USA against the Giants.
--INF Scott McClain, who played four years in Japan before returning to the States last year, hit a two-run homer Sunday. The A's signed McClain
before acquiring Antonio Perez in a trade, viewing McClain as a possible backup infielder with power. McClain has hit 25 or more homers six different years, including 39 in 2001 with Japan and 30 last season with AAA-Iowa.
--INF Freddie Bynum hit a two-run homer, singled and scored two runs Sunday. He did make an error that led to three unearned runs. Bynum is a long shot to make the team, but his speed and ability to play the infield or outfield gives him some value.
--LHP Randy Keisler, who is one of three candidates to be a second lefty out of the bullpen, pitched a scoreless final inning. The A's will only keep 12 pitchers (and two lefty relievers) if Frank Thomas isn't ready by Opening Day.
Did You Know?
66 -- Errorless game streak by backup catcher Adam Melhuse, the ninth-longest in Oakland history, which dates back to June 5, 2004.

Can Mathematica do this (infinite series)?
I'm working on a project involving infinite series and I don't know how
to do it or even ask a sensible question about it. So I cooked up a
question the answer to which might give me ideas.
f[x_]:=Sum[c[n]x^n, {n, 1, Infinity}]
What's the infinite series for
f[x]^2 + Sin[x]f[x]
in terms of c[n]?
What's the simplest way that Mathematica can answer this question for
general c[n]?
The pipe dream is this:
f[c_][x_] := Sum[c[n] x^n, {n, 1, Infinity}]
g[c_][x_] := f[c][x]^2 + Sin[x] f[c][x]
d[c_][n_] := SeriesCoefficient[g[c][x], {x, 0, n}]
d[Log[# + 1/3]/Factorial[#] &][5] // N

Certificate in Critical Cultural Competence
The Certificate in Critical Cultural Competence is offered for undergraduate students in any major, and is administered by the School of Social Work. The Certificate in Critical Cultural Competence Program will help students to develop an appreciation for their own cultural identities and become critically self-reflective in their orientation toward differences in the cultural identities of others as defined by, for example, race, ethnicity, gender, class, and sexual orientation. The certificate provides students with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to increase their effectiveness in relating across cultural differences and in increasingly diverse domestic and international environments.
Electives for Fall 2017
Goals of Certificate Program
The intended outcomes for students who complete the certificate are a greater appreciation of cultural differences; greater ability to interact with individuals of diverse backgrounds within; adoption of a philosophy of treating people fairly, equitably, and thoughtfully critical self-reflection of and awareness of one's own culture; assessment and understanding of culture-related privilege/disprivilege; and a concern with issues of power and privilege, and social justice.
Course Requirements
Ideally, students begin the certificate in their second year. 18 s.h. of course work is required to complete the certificate, as follows:
- Foundations of Critical Cultural Competence (3 s.h.), offered in the spring semester. This course is prerequisite to the electives and service or immersion learning course.
- Elective courses (9 s.h.) a minimum of three approved elective courses covering at least two diversity categories. A maximum of two electives may be taken from the same department and only one elective may be below the 100-level. Completion of the elective courses is a prerequisite for the Integrative Seminar (capstone) course. The academic coordinator provides a list of elective options and may approve elective course substitutions.
- Experiential elective course (3 s.h.). Course with an immersion learning or service learning component.
- Integrative Seminar in Critical Cultural Competence (3 s.h.), taken in the spring semester after completion of all other requirements – usually the final semester at UI.
Students establish study plans while in the foundations course and in collaboration with the certificate program coordinator. The coordinator approves the final plan and coordinates with the student's advisor in their major to shape a study plan that complements their academic program and career interests. The program coordinator schedules required courses, recommends the sequence in which course work should be taken, and keeps a record of each student's approved program and progress. When a student completes an undergraduate degree and fulfills the requirements for the Certificate in Critical Cultural Competence, the program notifies the University Registrar, who records completion of the program on the student's transcript.
For more information, contact Kate Kemp, Program Administrator, The University of Iowa School of Social Work, firstname.lastname@example.com, 319-335-1254.

James Hoggan | December 6, 2008
By James Hoggan • Saturday, December 6, 2008 - 16:36
Among the most galling visions, as U.S. carmakers stand cap-in-hand before the American people, is the site of a preening GM Vice President Bob Lutz pretending to be green.
Lutz is firmly on the record as someone who is too lazy, too ideologically hidebound or just too stupid to look at the latest robust and frightening science of climate change. He has dismissed global warming as "a total crock of shit," saying that he puts his faith in the signatories of the laughable Oregon petition.
Lutz has tried to reassure us in the past by saying, "My thoughts on what has or hasn't been the cause of climate change have nothing to do with the decisions I make to advance the cause of General Motors." Which raises an interesting question: why would Congress bet billions on a policy maker who would dismiss out of hand the biggest environmental crisis in human history, and then go on making self-destructive decisions that drive his company to the brink of bankruptcy?
Now Lutz is all charged up about the new Chevy Volt. Well, good for him. A decade late, the (former) biggest automaker in the world dusts off electric technology that it once killed in favor of building Hummers and now Lutz wants credit as a far-sighted environmentalist. No wonder Toyota has been kicking his ass.
As a matter of policy, I believe that government should resist micromanaging industries, even when spending taxpayer dollars to support them. But as a matter of immediate concern, I think the U.S. legislators contemplating this bailout package should demand Bob Lutz's resignation before dribbling a single dollar into GM's leaky pockets.
The obvious goal of the government support is to allow GM to remake itself. there is NO reason to expect a new trick from this old dog. He should be dismissed.

IF GM gets bailed-out, it should be entirely conditional upon Lutz and anyone like him in the upper management getting the push and there being no pay-off / golden parachutes. Be generous, give him a week's pay.
He, through lack of foresight got GM in this mess with vehicles like the Dummer, why should the taxpayer bail him out?
Let him experience the free market at first hand.
If he believes so strongly in the Oregon Petition, let him build a business plan out of it!

Smart money invests in leadership
It is often said that smart money invests not in a business but in it's leadership. There could be no bigger chump than he who, intending to tend the auto industry in environmentally respnsible direction, invests in Lutz.
I agree that the success of a
I agree that the success of a business depends upon the one who spearheads it. Decision making matters a lot. Ever since they went to Congress to request emergency funding, a lot of people have feared a GM shutdown. A GM shutdown is now more of a certainty than a possibility, as General Motors is coming short on a $1 billion debt payment, and they are forecasting a shutdown of all activity for at least 9 weeks. This is obviously a case beyond the scope of payday loans, as the auto maker is close to $30 billion in debt. The idea is to shut down production in order to reduce the backlog of vehicles left on lots, and the government has guaranteed warranties on all GM vehicles. Installment loans may not be able to stave off a GM shutdown.

A large number of trade union representatives met with President Trump yesterday, expecting to be eviscerated. Instead, they left completely stunned, and said it was the best meeting with a U.S. president in the history of unions. President Trump told them he had their backs 100 percent. MY GUESS: HERE IS WHY
Trade unions are largely responsible for the large middle class America once had. There is no reason for the top few billionaires to own 75 percent as much wealth as the world's bottom 75 percent combined. There is no reason for CEO's to get paid thousands of times as much as the janitor. In Japan, CEO's do not have such a huge wage gap, (it is usually right around 30X and that is still good enough to live very good, especially if people at the bottom are paid well.
President Trump knows the unions gave birth to America's large middle class, and if you are going to "make America great again" you HAVE TO have a robust middle class. That can't happen for as long as a bunch of illegals can undermine a union, or for as long as legal imported workers can undermine a union. By giving unions huge backing and increasing their strength, President Trump has turned unions into enforcement organizations against illegal labor. That was efficient.
At the same time Trump makes it much harder to peddle foreign goods on American soil, President Trump will in effect make the most cost effective choice for American businesses to be to pay people fairly and not hire illegals.
And because of this, the unions, in a day, have appeared to flip from Democrat to backing President Trump in a SINGLE DAY.
This ended up being a dominant story on Fox News and has now spread out to many other news outlets. Obviously we have to see where this goes from here, but it is sure looking good!

Getting New Mexico out of the reading doldrums
• The EdFly Blog
A New Mexico legislator recently called an early grade literacy bill an unfunded mandate.
To me, this is like calling infection prevention an unfunded mandate on hospitals.
In any case, she shelved the bill.
If it dies, I can guarantee you one thing. Fewer children in New Mexico will be able to read in the years ahead.
The bill would have retained third graders who are functionally illiterate, providing them intensive reading instruction.
When you promote kids who cannot read, all you do is mask a problem that resurfaces a few years down the road when they fail or drop out because they can't read their coursework.
This is convenient for adults and devastating for children. You can track the statistics: The juvenile justice system, adult prisons and government assistance programs are overwhelmingly populated by people who cannot read.
New Mexico and Florida once had very similar and very awful scores on the National Assessment of Education progress reading assessments. These are the widely respected national tests that allow comparisons among states.
Fourth and eighth graders from Florida and New Mexico lagged far behind the national average in the 1990s.
New Mexico has stayed there, as the 2011 scores show the state's fourth graders have barely budged. Its eighth graders actually have lost ground.
But Florida's fourth graders have advanced about two full grade levels. Last year, the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study ranked the Florida kids second in the world, and far above the combined average of all American states.
Florida eighth graders have advanced almost a grade level since the 1990s. Of the five largest states, Florida is the only one to have moved the needle on eighth grade reading during this time.
Here is another measure.
Florida has made rapid gains in promoting rigorous academic curriculum. Twenty-eight percent of the state's high school graduates passed an Advanced Placement exam last year, which ranks fourth among all states. The groundwork for this success was laid in the state's K-3 literacy program.
The national average for graduates passing an AP exam was 19.5 percent.
In New Mexico, the number was only 12.3 percent.
New Mexico is flat-lining. Its children are not being prepared for a world in which workers will require some form of post-secondary education to succeed.
Gov. Susana Martinez is trying to reverse decades of neglect with initiatives like grading schools A-F and focusing on early-grade literacy. She supports a retention bill.
What she is doing is not easy. About 70 percent of New Mexico's fourth graders are on the free-and-reduced-lunch program, which compares to about 62 percent for Florida.
These children are hardest to reach. You will get one set of results if you make their literacy a noble goal and another set of results if you make it a mandate.
The easier solution would be to simply hand over more money and hope that works.
It will not.

Corvus Gold Begins Phase 2 Mine Development Drill Program and Retains Mine Design Firm for North Bullfrog Project, Nevada
Corvus Gold Inc. ("Corvus" or the "Company") - (TSX: KOR, OTCQX: CORVF) is pleased to announce the start of the Phase 2 mine development activities on the Mayflower deposit at the southern end of the Company's 100% controlled North Bullfrog Project, Nevada. The phase 2 program at the Mayflower deposit includes: 1) grid pattern drilling to complete the conversion of inferred to indicated resources and 2) developing both engineering and baseline characterization data to support design of a surface mining operation with a heap leach recovery process. An updated resource summary and preliminary economic assessment (PEA) is expected in Q4. Subsequently, the completion of a feasibility study on the Mayflower deposit is scheduled for early 2013.
The Mayflower 2012 phase 2 drill program is scheduled for approximately 5,000 meters and 37 holes. Road and drill pad construction started on July 11th, and the first of the two drills have begun drilling today. The program will include reverse circular (RC) drilling for resource definition and conversion, RC drilling for water monitoring and facilities condemnation, and PQ core drilling to generate mine geotechnical data and metallurgical samples. Phase 2 drilling to the North of the Mayflower deposit where recent exploration success outlined a potential high-grade feeder zone (NR 12-14, May 23, 2012) as well as resource expansion potential (NR 12-08, Feb. 29, 2012), is scheduled for late Q3 2012, subject to drill permit issuance.
Engineering Firm
Corvus has retained the services of Interralogic Inc. as the lead mine design engineering firm for the development of the Mayflower deposit at the North Bullfrog project. Interralogic's previous work includes the recent design of the Gold Hill Project near Round Mountain, Nevada.
Carl Brechtel, COO of Corvus, stated: "Interralogic's extensive success and experience in mine design and recovery optimization from projects throughout the world and in Nevada make them an excellent choice to undertake the Mayflower design. Corvus is highly encouraged with recent results and we look to continue to add the key elements necessary in order to achieve our accelerated gold production plan at North Bullfrog."
Drill collar locations are shown for reference.
About the North Bullfrog Project, Nevada
Corvus controls 100% of its North Bullfrog Project, which covers approximately 24 square kilometres in southern Nevada just north of the historic Bullfrog gold mine formerly operated by Barrick. The property package is made up of a number of private mineral leases of patented federal mining claims and 161 federal unpatented mining claims. The project has excellent infrastructure, being adjacent to a major highway and power corridor.
The project currently includes numerous prospective gold targets with four (Mayflower, Sierra Blanca, Jolly Jane and Connection) containing an NI 43-101 compliant estimated Indicated Resource of 15 Mt at an average grade of 0.37 g/t gold for 182,000 ounces of gold and an Inferred Resource of 156 Mt at 0.28 g/t gold for 1,410,000 ounces of gold (both at a 0.2 g/t cutoff), with appreciable silver credits. Mineralization occurs in two primary forms: (1) broad stratabound bulk-tonnage gold zones such as the Sierra Blanca and Jolly Jane systems; and (2) moderately thick zones of high-grade gold and silver mineralization hosted by structural zones with breccias and quartz-sulphide vein stockworks such as the Mayflower and Yellowjacket targets. The Company is actively pursuing both types of mineralization.
A video of the North Bullfrog project showing location, infrastructure access, and 2010 winter drilling is available on the Company's website at http://www.corvusgold.com/investors/video/.
