Randgold Resources Ld
28 April 2004
London, 28 April 2004 - London (LSE:RRS) and Nasdaq (GOLD) listed Randgold
Resources sold one gold mine and started building another in the first quarter
of this year as it continued to consolidate its project development and
exploration presence in Africa.
The Company today reported a profit from mining of US$7.8 million for the three
months to March, down from the previous quarter's US$12.7 million as a result of
lower production at its Morila joint venture. Production at Morila was impacted
negatively by downtime related to the commissioning of a plant expansion
programme. While mining costs were up with new contract prices coming into
effect, total cash costs of US$185/oz were below forecast. The net loss for the
quarter of US$4.9 million is mainly attributable to a non-cash loss of US$5.8
million on the mark-to-market valuation on the last day of the quarter on the
forward sales taken out as part of Loulo's project financing.
Results for the quarter do not include the US$10 million plus royalties netted
by the recently announced sale of Randgold's 80% stake in the dormant Syama mine
to Resolute. Completion of the sale transaction is expected by mid-May.
Randgold has kept Syama on care and maintenance since 2002, when the collapse of
the gold price made it unprofitable.
At Morila, the expansion programme has been mostly completed after a series of
delays due mainly to supply logistics. The programme has been designed to
offset the anticipated reduction in the grade by boosting plant throughput from
250 000 tons per month to 350 000 tons. Since the commissioning of the
secondary crusher installation on 17 March there has been a marked improvement
in mill throughput and if the upward trend is sustained, the Company believes
that the mine will still meet its production target for the year of 535 000
ounces. In the meantime, the search for more ounces at Morila is continuing,
with the first of nine new targets around the mine being drill-tested.
Construction is under way and on track at Randgold's new mine at Loulo, with the
basic infrastructure scheduled for completion before the onset of the rainy
season in July. The mine is due to go into production in mid-2005.
Loulo's resource base was increased from 4.26 million ounces to 5.32 million
ounces during the quarter as a result of a deep drilling programme which
continues to prove the extensions of the orebodies at depths below the two open
pits. A prefeasibility study has been commissioned to investigate the potential
for two new underground mines at Loulo in addition to the two opencast mines
currently being developed.
During the quarter, exploration work was accelerated on Randgold's properties in
West and East Africa. Aggressive drilling programmes are continuing at Morila
and Loulo, and site preparation is well advanced for drilling to start in the
Morila region as well as Senegal. Holdings in Tanzania have been consolidated
and new targets developed, and a new permit has been granted in Burkina Faso.
Following its recent establishment of a presence in Ghana, Randgold has entered
into a joint venture agreement with local miner Adansi Asaasi to explore a
licence covering prime ground bordering on Ashanti's Obuasi mine. It has also
concluded a partnership deal with longtime associate Inter-Afrique to identify
and exploit opportunities in Ghana's gold mining sector.
'Apart from the Morila expansion programme delays, it's been a rewarding and
productive quarter,' chief executive Dr Mark Bristow said today.
'Our excitement about the new mine at Loulo is being heightened by the great
results coming out of the deep-drilling there. The prospect of an underground
operation, which will lift Loulo into a much bigger league, is becoming
increasingly tangible. The Syama story has had a happy ending: we preserved a
national asset for Mali, found a new owner to operate it, and realised some
value for ourselves. At Morila, we're working with our joint-venture partners
to ensure that the mine meets its targets.
'In line with our belief that value creation in the mining industry can best be
achieved through discovery and development, we've stepped up our exploration
programmes, and we're investigating some very interesting opportunities in our
existing areas of operation as well as in Ghana, which is a new front for us.'
At the Company's annual general meeting earlier this week, shareholders approved
a motion, subsequently approved by the court, which clears the way for dividend
payments to start by expunging accumulated losses through the share premium
account. A move to improve the tradability of Randgold Resources' stock further
through a two-for-one share split also got the green light.

The Company uses the following pro forma disclosures:
* Total cash costs per ounce are calculated by dividing total cash costs, as
determined using the Gold Institute Industry Standard, by gold ounces produced
for all periods presented.
* Total cash costs as defined in the Gold Institute Industry Standard, includes
mine production, transport and refinery costs, general and administrative costs,
movement in production inventories and ore stockpile, transfers to and from
deferred stripping and royalties. Total cash cost per ounce should not be
considered by investors as an alternative to operating profit or net profit
attributable to shareholders, as an alternative to other IFRS or US GAAP
measures or an indicator of the Company's performance. The Company believes
that total cash cost per ounce is a useful indicator to investors and management
of a mining company's performance as it provides an indication of a company's
profitability and efficiency, the trends in costs as the company's operations
mature, a measure of a company's gross margin per ounce, by comparison of total
cash cost per ounce to the spot price of gold, and a benchmark of performance to
allow for comparison against other companies.
* Cash operating costs are defined as total cash costs excluding royalties.
* Total cash operating costs per ounce are calculated by dividing cash
operating costs by gold ounces produced for all periods presented.
* Profit from mining activity is calculated by subtracting total cash costs
from gold sales revenue for all periods presented.
* Profit from operations is calculated by subtracting depreciation and
amortisation charges, merger transactions and exploration and corporate
expenditure from profit from mining activity.
The interim condensed financial statements presented in this report have been
prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS),
which differ in certain significant respects from Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles in the United States (US GAAP). The effect of applying US GAAP to

The condensed financial statements in this report have been prepared in
accordance with the Group's accounting policies, which comply with International
Financial Reporting Standards and are consistent with the prior period.
The consolidated financial information includes the quarterly financial
statements of the Company, its subsidiaries and the Morila joint venture.
Joint ventures are those investments in which the Group has joint control and
are accounted for under the proportional consolidation method. Under this
method, the proportion of assets, liabilities, income and expenses and cash
flows of each joint venture attributable to the Group are incorporated in the
consolidated financial statements under appropriate headings. Inter-company
accounts and transactions are eliminated on consolidation.
No segmental information has been provided, as the source and nature of the
enterprise's risks and returns are not governed by more than one segment.
The financial instruments at 31 March 2004 held by the Morila company are the
remainder of derivatives taken out as part of the project finance arrangements.
Randgold Resources' attributable share is as follows:
* 38 956 ounces sold forward at a fixed price of US$275/oz over the period April
2004 to December 2004
* 13 788 ounces of call options purchased at a price of US$360/oz over the same
At present prices, the percentage of attributable production which is hedged is
approximately 15% for the next nine months. After 2004, 100% of Morila's
production will be exposed to spot gold prices.
As part of the Company's financing arrangements for the development of Loulo,
Randgold Resources has secured some price protection. At 31 March 2004, 300 000
ounces had been sold forward at an average spot price of US$409/oz. The Loulo
price protection has been done at a Randgold Resources level, short dated, and
will be rolled down, longer dated, into the Loulo company once the project
financing has been put in place, planned for completion at the beginning of the
third quarter 2004. At that time, the longer contango will become effective
which will enhance the spot price.
In addition to the above, the Company carried out a Forward Rate Agreement (FRA)
as part of the hedge to fix the 4 year gold lease rate. An average rate of
1.67% for the four years was achieved.
Marked-to-market Valuation
Movements in marked-to-market valuations of financial instruments can be
accounted for in two ways, either through the income statement or directly to
reserves, depending on the nature of the instrument. The Morila instruments are
accounted for mainly on a hedge basis i.e. are matched to production and
movements on the marked-to-market valuation are therefore accounted for in
reserves. The Loulo instruments are currently deemed speculative for accounting
purposes and any marked-to-market movements have to be accounted for through the
income statement. Once the instruments are rolled out in the third quarter of
2004, the instruments can then be deemed hedges and can be accounted for through
reserves. The current negative impacts on the Company's income statement will
then be reversed.
Profit from mining activity* for the quarter of US$7.8 million was lower than
the previous quarter's US$12.7 million. Ounces produced were 107 115 compared
to 119 637 in the previous quarter. This is partly due to the mine plan which
scheduled lower production this quarter and partly due to a decrease in
throughput as the plant expansion was commissioned. In addition, mining costs
were higher as the new contract prices became effective. Nevertheless, total
cash costs were US$185/oz which was lower than the forecast given last quarter
for the year of US$190/oz.
Production levels are scheduled to pick up later in the year with higher grade
ore being accessed and higher plant throughput. Production for the year is
still expected to be 535 000 ounces, as forecast last quarter.
After exploration and corporate expenditure of US$3 million, and depreciation of
US$2.4 million, profit from operations for the quarter was US$2.3 million.
The loss on financial instruments of US$5.8 million is a non-cash item resulting
from the mark-to-market valuation on the forward sales taken out as part of the
Loulo Project financing. These have been taken out at the corporate level and
are therefore currently classified as speculative for accounting purposes and as
such are accounted for wholly through the income statement. More details are
given in the Financial Instruments section.
The net loss for the quarter of US$4.9 million compared to the previous quarter
net profit of US$0.2 million and the corresponding quarter in 2003 of US$17.1
million profit is mainly attributable to the lower revenue and negative
adjustments on the value of financial instruments on the last day of the
The figures do not include profits from the sale of Syama which will be
accounted for in the second quarter of 2004.
The main movements on the balance sheet are a decrease in the cash and cash
equivalents mostly attributable to the financing of the Loulo capital project
and an increase in liabilities on financial instruments which results from the
mark-to-market valuation. The long-term loans are mainly the attributable share
of Morila's project financing which will be repaid in June 2004. It is planned
that the Loulo construction will be substantially financed by bank loans, with
the Company's equity portion being spent first. The project financing creates
gearing for the shareholders and allows the Company to preserve cash to finance
its future growth.

A new contract was concluded in the quarter with the mining contractor DTP who
performed well achieving a 10% increase in tons mined compared to the previous
period. The mine is also in discussion with the Union and the Government
departments of Labour and Mining on questions relating to a productivity bonus.
As reported last quarter, the plant expansion commissioning was delayed into the
quarter under review. Production throughput was down due to down time related
to tying in the new sections of the plant which impacted on gold production.
Recoveries were also impacted by the commissioning. Ounces produced were 107
115 compared to 119 637 in the previous quarter. The decrease is also partly
due to the mine plan which scheduled lower production this quarter. Production
levels are planned to pick up later in the year with higher grade ore being
accessed and higher plant throughput forecast as a result of plant expansion.
Production for the year is still targeted at 535 000 ounces as forecast last
The secondary crushing and cyclone cluster sections of the plant upgrades have
now been commissioned and are starting to show increasing throughputs. The CIL
tank commissioning is currently in progress, the purpose of which is to provide
longer residence time to improve recoveries.
With the commissioning largely completed, production is expected to build up to
budget levels. Costs were reasonably well controlled in the quarter, although
increased to US$185/ounce due to lower throughput, higher contract mining costs
and the write down of certain store items.
On 5 April Resolute Mining exercised its option to buy Randgold Resources' 80%
interest in the Syama Mine, which has been on care and maintenance since 2002.
In terms of the option, Resolute will pay Randgold Resources US$6 million and
assume liabilities of US$7 million of which US$4 million is payable to Randgold
Resources. At a gold price of more than US$350 per ounce, Randgold Resources
will also receive a royalty of US$10 per ounce on the first million ounces of
production from Syama and US$5 per ounce on the next three million ounces based
on the attributable ounces acquired by Resolute. The closure of the transaction
is subject to the finalisation of documentation in accordance with the Option
Agreement. Completion is expected by mid-May and will incorporate a structured
hand-over. Resolute has paid a non-refundable deposit of US$1.3 million. The
balance will be paid on closure in mid-May.

The costs for the quarter represent on-going care and maintenance, overdraft
interest and staff costs. Following the sale to Resolute, Randgold Resources
income statement will no longer be impacted by Syama's costs. The assets of
Syama have been largely written down to nil and therefore the sale will result
in an accounting profit. The sale will be accounted for in the second quarter
of 2004 when the profit on sale will be recognised.
Loulo Mine
All aspects of the construction and development of the mine were advanced in the
SRK has carried out pit optimisation studies based on a gold price of US$350/oz.
The pit scheduling is based on an initial mining rate of 90 000 tons of ore
per month from each of the two pits. The mining will be contracted out and a
tender process has been initiated. Submission of tenders is due by 7 May.
After completion of the tender process, the pits will be re-optimised and tested
at a US$375/oz and US$400/oz gold price. Pre-stripping is scheduled to commence
in the last quarter of 2004.
Treatment of the ore will be by a crushing and ball milling circuit. An interim
contract has been agreed with MDM for the initial plant work and final design
for the process plant and infrastructure has been completed and approved.
Tender documentation has been issued to selected contractors, including MDM, for
the main contract for construction of the plant.
Power will be supplied by a diesel-generated power plant. Tenders have been
received and the contract will be awarded in the second quarter of 2004.
Construction is underway on roads, construction camp and water supply. The site
is being cleared in preparation for the laying of foundations. The critical
path remains the completion of the initial civil engineering work before the
rainy season commences in July. Agreement in principle has been reached with
the Government of Mali for the construction of 90 kilometres of national road
between Sadiola and Kenieti will greatly facilitate access to site. Randgold
Resources will carry out the construction and will be re-imbursed by the State
from future production royalties.
Good progress has been made on the project financing. The banks' independent
engineers RSG are currently performing their due diligence work and final loan
documentation is nearing completion. The target date for finalisation of the
project financing is July 2004.
A significant upgrade in the mineral resource base was declared during the
quarter as a result of the deep drilling programme which continues to prove the
extensions of orebodies at depths below the Loulo 0 and Yalea open pits. In
total, resources increased at Loulo from 4.26 million ounces to 5.32 million
ounces. Fuller details of the drilling results are given in the exploration
A total of US$7.7 million was spent in the quarter on the project. This was
mainly spent on securing long lead-time items, site construction materials,
particularly steel ahead of the recent steel price increases and on drilling
Based on an initial scoping study and following the success of the deep drilling
exploration programme, Randgold Resources is investigating the potential for two
new underground mines at Loulo. The study will look into the feasibility of
exploiting the depth extensions below the open pits at Loulo 0 and Yalea which
would significantly extend the projected six-year life of the project.
SRK Consulting will complete the underground prefeasibility study on both the
Loulo 0 and Yalea orebodies by July this year and if positive this will lead to
the completion of the full feasibility study by year-end. The optimum open pit
to underground interface will also be established.
Tongon Project
The situation in the Cote d'Ivoire is being monitored. UN peacekeeping troops
have been deployed to make a new beginning in areas of the peace process where
there has been regression. The Company has maintained its presence in the
country and is capable of recommencing feasibility and exploration work without
delay once the political and security environment returns to acceptable levels.
During the quarter, exploration work was accelerated on the Company's projects
in West and East Africa:
* An aggressive drilling programme was carried out at Loulo.
* Drilling continued within the Morila lease.
* Focus on drill site preparation for commencement of drilling programmes in
the Morila Region and Senegal.
* Good progress was made in Ghana with the establishment of an office and the
generation of new targets.
* New targets were developed and ground holdings were consolidated in Tanzania
* A new exploration permit was granted in Burkina Faso.
The corporate exploration budget was increased by US$2.4 million. US$2.0
million of the increase has been allocated to Loulo to fund the work required to
achieve the strategic objective of advancing the deeper Yalea and Loulo 0
resources to indicated status. The remainder of the increase will be spent on
establishing new projects in Ghana and Burkina Faso and in drilling new targets.
At the Yalea deposit within the Loulo project area, a further 18 deep holes were
drilled. These confirmed the continuity of known high grade pay shoots down to
vertical depths of 510 metres and discovered new ones that do not come to
surface. The ore zone is becoming wider with depth without diminution of grade
and a number of high grade intercepts have been made. These include high grade
intercepts of 23 metres @ 12.5 g/t, 18 metres @ 33.0 g/t and 14 metres @ 26.9 g/
t (including 6 metres @ 42.5 g/t). Drilling also closed the gap with the P125
deposit and confirmed continuous mineralisation over a 2.7 kilometre north-south
direction, which has only been tested at depth over 2.3 kilometres.
Reconnaissance exploration south of the Yalea orezone has confirmed that the
footwall mylonite structure, which controls the mineralisation, can be traced
south of the current drill coverage for a further 1 600 meters. Drill testing
is currently in progress along this target zone. A 15 000 metre drilling
programme has been designed to take the Loulo 0 and Yalea resources to indicated
status down to depths of up to 500 metres below surface. Finally, generative
and regional programmes clearly confirm the three main structural corridors
covering the lease area and follow up soil sampling has defined four new,
untested, gold in soil anomalies with values of up to 1.2 g/t which locate
within a 10 kilometre radius of the plant site.

At the Morila mine a recently completed generative study has outlined nine new
targets with similar structural settings to Morila and drill testing has
commenced on the first of these. Following completion of the near mine
geological model, several areas around the current pit with the potential to
yield continuous flat lying mineralisation have been targeted for further
Outside of the Morila joint venture, but within the Morila region, three targets
have been prioritised for drilling based on encouraging trench and pit results
and the geological model. At Sagala a recently completed helicopter borne
magnetic survey has delineated a 30 kilometre, north-east striking structural
zone traversing the Company's permit, and highlighted two new targets requiring
In Senegal, three targets have been outlined for drill testing. These include a
well-defined mineralised dilational zone with an 800 metre strike length at
Tomboronkoto and a conceptual target with multiple mineralised zones in quartz
feldspar porphyry and brecciated gabbro locating within a broad 2.5 kilometre by
1.5 kilometre soil anomaly. Site preparation is currently in progress and,
subject to drill rig availability, drilling is planned to commence before the
rainy season in July.
The Company has consolidated its position in priority target areas within the
Mara and Musoma greenstone Belts in the Lake Victoria goldfields of Tanzania.
In the Mara Belt, ground has been secured covering the eastern extension of the
structural zones hosting the deposits currently being mined by East African Gold
Mines. On the Nyabigena South licence, three auriferous vein sets with grades
of 0.5 to 78.3g/t (n=58) cover a 1 000 metre by 800 metre target zone. The
veins are associated with silica and carbonate alteration and foliated granites
with shallow dips. In the Musoma belt the Company now holds 10 licences
covering 695km2 forming a contiguous set over a strike length of 30 kilometres.
Regional and reconnaissance exploration has been completed and five target areas
have been identified with gold occurrences and intersecting structures which
will be the focus of follow up work after the rainy season.
In Burkina Faso, the Company has been granted the Danfora permit which covers
45km2 and locates in the south west region of the country within the Banfora
greenstone belt. Reconnaissance work has identified a plus one kilometre zone of
gold mineralisation locating on the sheared contact between granodiorite and
basalt and returning values of between 0.5 and 72.0g/t from 48 rock samples.
The target is ready for drill testing and this will be effected through an RC
programme once a rig becomes available. An application for a second permit in
Burkina Faso is still pending.
Annual ore resources showed a net gain for the year despite the decreases in
resources at Morila. The expansion of total attributable resources from 7.67
million ounces to 7.95 million ounces was due mainly to the success of the deep
drilling programme at Loulo which continued to prove the extensions to the
orebodies at depth.
At Morila, while resources and reserves decreased, the higher confidence
measured resources increased from 14% of the total at the end of 2002 to 40% at
the end of 2003 and reserves in the proved category increased from 17% to 43%.

* Randgold Resources reports its Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves in
accordance with the JORC code.
* Total resources are reported without the contribution from Syama. On 5 April
2004, Resolute Mining announced their intention to acquire Randgold Resources
interest in the Syama Mine.
* Reserves are calculated at a gold price of US$350/oz.
* Dilution and ore loss are incorporated into the calculation of reserves.
The Company continues to look at a number of opportunities both at a corporate
and project level. As has been stated in the past, value creation in the mining
industry is best achieved through discovery and development. Notwithstanding
the fact that we continue to search for value or strategic leverage in M&A
opportunities, Randgold Resources has been consistent in its belief of organic
growth through exploration. In the past quarter, we were able to secure a
select number of early stage projects/exploration permits in what are considered
highly prospective geological terrains. This resulted from detailed
investigations by our generative team over the last 12 months. The most
significant of these projects is in Ghana.
The Company has entered into a co-operative agreement with Inter-Afrique
Holdings to identify and exploit profitable business opportunities in Ghana's
gold mining sector and has also signed a joint venture agreement with local
Ghanaian company Adansi Asaasi Mining. Randgold's association with Inter-Afrique
dates back to the early 1990s and the company was a major advisor to Randgold
Resources in its bid to acquire Ashanti last year.
The Company has signed a joint venture agreement in Ghana with local company
Adansi Asaasi Mining to effect exploration on a licence located directly north
east of the Obuasi mining lease. The Obuasi mine has been operational for more
than 100 years and has produced approximately 27 million ounces of gold.
Mineralisation is associated with the reactivated Obuasi Shear; within this
shear high grade oreshoots plunge to the north east some of which do not come to
surface. Mineralisation extends for approximately 8 kilometres along strike, to
greater than 1.6 kilometre depth and is open at depth and along strike. The
continuation of the Obuasi Shear extends into the Adansi Asaasi permits where
previous work has indicated narrow and sporadic mineralisation at surface. No
drilling to depth has been completed to test for buried oreshoots.
In addition the Company increased its exploration activities in Tanzania and
Burkina Faso.
The following items were tabled for shareholder approval at the Annual General
Meeting held on 26 April in Jersey:
* approval to reconstitute the Company's balance sheet so that accumulated
losses can be expunged through the share premium account, and pave the way for
dividends to be paid;
* sub-division of each ordinary share into two ordinary shares. This will
reduce the price payable for individual shares in the Company without affecting
the value held by each current shareholder. The intention is to further improve
the tradability of the Company's shares.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 18/7/2014 (1071 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Waiting for a turn
Regarding traffic lights. To the person who Sounded Off about turn signals needing to be added to some intersections, you are right on the button! You can add 18th Street and Brandon Avenue to that list too!
Just happy to be here
Got my mortgage tax component adjustment today to include the $348.20 increase in property taxes. Considering I live in one of the best cities in Canada, with a progressive local government, low crime rate, above average services and a quality educational system, I'm OK with paying my share to keep Brandon moving forward — FYI, I never had any children in the educational system, I'm just happy to contribute to Canada's future.
Storm wreaks havoc but brings out the best in people
I happened to be one of the unfortunate homeowners on 11th Street whose spruce tree uprooted during the storm on July 5. It crashed on my house and my neighbour's as well. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Jim for arranging equipment for its removal. Thanks to Murray, Mark and Claude for your expertise. Sacrificing their Sunday, family, friends, neighbours and strangers pulled together. They worked diligently with chainsaws for several hours in the heat, cutting and making several trips to the dump. This storm wreaked havoc in the city, but also proved to me that everyone bands together when there is a crisis. I am ever so grateful! Kudos to all of you!
Just get 'er done!
I know that the construction on Victoria Avenue is important and they say in the paper that they will try to keep access to business maintained. You cannot please everyone and I for one think trying to keep any street open is a big, big mistake. Any job in construction that is piecemeal is doomed to failure. Close off the sections needed and get it done. Enough of this pussyfooting around. Put up the barricades and get at it.
Mr. Prime Minister, we need aid right here in Manitoba
Prime Minister Harper always leaves millions of dollars behind when he visits other countries and gives foreign aid millions of dollars. I hope he did the same when he visited Manitoba and left millions behind to help all the flood victims. I think Manitoba flood victim aid is more important than foreign aid.
Letter writer gets it right
I was reading the July 10 Brandon Sun and read the letter to the editor from Virgina Shemeliuk of Sandy Lake, "Health Regions, Heal Thyselves." It is one of the best letters I have read in a long, long time. She hits the nail right on the head.
You need to get more informed
I kind of got aggravated when I read the sexual orientation Sound Off in the paper recently. As an advocate for human rights issues, I believe that it is not the point of the gay pride event to flaunt sexual orientation but to celebrate the diversity and the fact of the history of the Pride event at Stonewall. I honestly think that this person is just misinformed or very uneducated. My advise to this person would be to hit Google alert!
If you want respect — show respect
I couldn't agree more with the writer of the letter to the editor a few weeks ago regarding the conduct of the Pride parade in Toronto. "Is there any wonder that they and their allies are looked at as a bunch of perverts." What a disrespectful performance, especially when children are present or at any time. Just what kind of message is this sending to our children and young people? They are listening — but what are they hearing? The problem most people have with homosexuality, etc., is not about orientation or same sex attraction but about acts and behaviour. If you want respect show respect! Would the police and authorities have allowed such a performance in the general populations?
Making a decision for us all
Regarding the buffer zones. I think it is highly unfair that one individual gets to make a decision for a whole neighbourhood. It is not even a matter of them having to have a logical excuse why they don't want their homes sprayed. I would like to see it go back to where you have to have a medical condition or at least something more concrete than just "I don't like malathion." It does affect the neighbours too!

Drywall and texture in bathroom
I remodeled 2 bathrooms in October where there had been mold and water leaking. I installed the drywall and finished with light texture. The customer did not want me to paint because they wanted to do that themselves. When I completed the job the customer said they really liked the work and paid the balance of what they owed. They called two days ago and said the texture was not holding on when they try to paint. This customer has 9 kids and has been using the shower and tubs in both bathroom for at least 4 weeks without priming or painting so I am not sure if the moisture affected the texture or not. We have to go and redo the work or they will give us a bad rep. What would you do? It just seems a little strange that they wait 6 months to say anything and also since I have been over there at least 2 times in the last 2 months to install a fan and nothing was said.
Sounds fishy to me Mike. I usually go back and take care of little things without question. But in this case, If I had to go back and fix it because they didn't paint right away, I would fix the texture and charge for painting it. This is all assuming you told them not to use it before painting it.
Mike Hawkins:)
drywall and texture
Thanks for the reply. I am not sure I told them to not use the room until painted; I just assumed they knew because they acted like they were going to paint as soon as possible. Lesson learned....thanks.
In the future, I would require that if I texture, I also apply a coat of primer.
Use this as a learning thing. Yes I would go back and fix it. In the future if something like this comes up have the HO sign a waiver that says since the job was not completed by you, no warranty is implied or given. I have done this when HO insist on using cheap paint or materials I am not familiar with.
Go back and fix the texture, then prime the bathroom with a light coat of oil primer Kilz or Bins. Don't back roll.
That should lock it all down nicely. :thumbsup:

One more positive review.....
Re: One more positive review.....
"he only thing this Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 shares with the previous generation is the name. Everything else is better. Gloriously faster, stronger and all around funner.
See, it even inspires fake words.
From The Detroit News: http://apps.detnews.com/apps/autorev...#ixzz1X7mWaJOl"
Obviously, this vehicle is not for everyone. It starts at $54,470 and has race car grit. Some people just won't like that. But if you're looking to compare it to similar SUVs, good luck finding anything for that price. Dollar for dollar, it's single best SUV built today.

That came to mind again after speaking to the young and talented James McDonald a day or so before his last appearance with the Dodgers, the one that resulted in a ticket to the back side of Camelback Ranch and assured him of starting the 2009 season in the minor leagues.
During our conversation, we asked him what he was most concerned about and what he was working on this spring.
He quickly replied, "command."
We replied that it was the curse of youth. He agreed and he gave us a weak smile.
Juts twenty-four hours later he had surrendered not only a 4-3 Dodgers lead at Peoria, but six runs that gave the Padres a 9-4 decision. After the game he sat for a long time with his head in his hands.
Almost every young player that comes into the Major Leagues, no matter how successful they had been in high school, college or the minor leagues, has a little seed of doubt in the back of his mind that could grow to a "I don't really belong here" tree if it is left untended.
McDonald's problem is certainly not unique.
The baseball guide is stuffed with players who clawed their way up the ladder until they finally made The Show, only to encounter a level of competition they had never imagined. Each player on the 40-man roster was the best that scouting, money and coaching could provide. And that is a daunting thing for a young man to meet face to face.
Leo Durocher, Dodgers manager from 1939 to 1948, let the player decide his own fate. When a young player was brought up, he would thrust them into the fire immediately and let nature take it's course.
In 1943, with the war raging around the world and baseball talent scarce as sugar or gasoline, Branch Rickey promoted 18-year-old Rex Barney and 21-year-old Hal Gregg at mid-season. Durocher met them coming out of the clubhouse for the first time and said, "You must be Barney and Gregg. You start the doubleheader today."
Leo figured that if they were good enough to be there, they were good enough to use -- right now. It was the era that fathers would take their sons out into the lake and throw them in to teach them how to swim.
Gregg was out of baseball by age 30. Barney, although he threw a no-hitter in 1948 against the Giants and Joe DiMaggio, after facing him in the 1949 World Series, said he was faster than Bob Feller, was finished by age 25.
Barney injured his leg near the end of the 1948 season and when he showed up at spring training in 1949, he was unable to throw strikes. He blamed the injury for putting him off his game but many felt it was a mental thing, the tiny field that Smith was talking about. He was treated by a number of pitching coaches who felt they could cure his mechanics, but in truth, it was probably something more than that, just as Smith said.
Don Newcombe, who recorded 17-8, 19-11 and 20-9 records his first three seasons with Brooklyn, was tagged -- as were many athletes -- for army service and missed two years.
When he returned he crafted 20-5 and 27-7 seasons but was battered each fall in the World Series by the talented New York Yankees. He received a firestorm of criticism, wailing he "could not win the big one" but no one considered had he not won a number of "big ones" during the season, the team wouldn't have been in the "Woild Serios" as Brooklyn fans used to call it.
He was the workhorse of the Brooklyn pitching staff, pitched often on short rest and instrumental in the National League pennant of 1949, 1955 and 1956, that little bit of doubt, and a resulting dependance on alcohol, signaled the end of his career. He overcame the dependency and is now a valued and trusted member of the Dodgers front office.
Some athletes never have any doubts about their being able to pitch or hit at the highest level. Many take the attitude of Yankee catcher Yogi Berra, when it was pointed out that he was not keeping the trademark up when he batted. "I come up to the plate to hit, not to read," he is credited with saying.
Baseball aficionados can point out any number of other players who seemingly were poised for greatness but never could get a firm first step up on the ladder.
McDonald is a remarkably talented young man. He obviously needs a little more time to refine his delivery, making it possible to repeat it over and over again correctly, and gain enough confidence in his ability.
The Dodgers trust that will happen and have made it easier for him to accomplish that goal without the pressure of feeling that one false move would undo him. He could be back by midseason, if he has learned to handle that six-inch field and an opportunity presents itself.

Gibson Learn & Master Guitar
iTunes link: Gibson Learn & Master Guitar - £Free
If there's one brand that's synonymous with electric guitars then its Gibson, thanks to the fact that it's behind some of the classic models like the Les Paul, SG and Explorer. So with the Gibson name attached to this app you'd expect it to be pretty good and thankfully it doesn't disappoint.
Despite being free, it packs in a lot of useful features including a guitar tuner and metronome. Along with this, you also get a reasonably large chord guide that covers pretty much all the basic chords that you'll need to learn as a beginner. Gibson has even included a number of high quality videos from its Learn and Master Guitar courses that offer excellent instruction for both beginners and more advanced guitar players.
Slick presentation along with some very useful features and great instruction videos make this a must-have for budding guitarists.

Defender Kolli out of Ghana's semi-final clash against France at U17 Women's World Cup
By: Akyereko Frimpong Manson
Ghana's Black Maidens will be without defender Ivy Kolli for Tuesday's Fifa U-17 Women's World Cup semi-final clash with France in Baku.
The 16-year-old who was influential in the group stages wins over Uruguay and China missed out of Friday's quarter-final triumph over Japan with a hamstring injury.
Coach Mas-Ud Didi Dramani confirmed the Inter Royal Ladies' enterprising defender will miss the all-important clash.
"We have minor injury concerns in camp but one player (Ivy Kolli) has been ruled out of the game against France," he told Accra-based Hot FM.
Ghana became the first African country to qualify for the semi-finals in the competition's history after beating Japan 1-0 on Friday evening.

Kay says:October 06, 2012 03:58 pmIf she even missed out against Japan, then why cry wolf? To me Japan's game was the strongest. If Ghana meets Germany against the result will favor Ghana. we are okay. Get well soon Sister Kolli, and thank you for your hard work. The Cup is coming to Africa for the first time, yes, we know how to do it because we done it before with our boys. GO MAIDENS !!!!!!

35 Chevy Sedan Rear Axle
I am thinkin about starting my 35 chevy now and curious what a great rear axle would be for the car and any tips for it.:confused:
Could you be a little more vague,
Need more info to give a sensible answer...
What engine?
What transmission?
What is the expected weight?
What is the end use?
What size tire?
Steve& the Rockette
Too many toys to list...
Its gonna be just a street rod. Its gonna have just a 350 with possibly a turbo 350 trans. i have an s10 axle for it but i just wanna hear from someone who might have some better insight for it. as for wheels not sure yet probably 16 or 17 inch rims
I like for the rear wheel bolt pattern to be the same as the front wheels. :D
Most rodders prefer a 9 inch Ford rear end. Strong, easy to find parts and easy to work on.
Here is a on list of rear widths ...
65-66 Mustang 57.25 inches
67-70 Mustang 59.25 inches
71-73 Mustang 61.25 inches
77-81 Versailles 58.50 inches
74 Maverick 8" 56.50 inches
75 Mustang II 8" 57.00 inches
67-73 Mustang, Torino, Ranchero, Fairlane 9" 59.25 inches to 61.25 inches
57-59 Ranchero and station wagon rears, 57.25 inches
66-77 Bronco 9", 58 inches
77-81 Granada/Versailles, 58 inches
67-71 Comet, Cougar, Mustang, Fairlane, 59.25 inches
71-73 Mustang, 61.25 inches

72 Ford Van 3/4 ton 68 inches
73-86 65.25 inches
57-59 Ranchero and station wagon 57.25 iches (narrowest 9" housing)
66-77 Bronco 58 inches but has 5-on-5 1/2 inch diameter bolt circle
67-73 Torinos, Rancheros, Fairlanes 59.25 inches or 61.25 inches
67-71 Comets, Cougars, Fairlanes 59.25 inches
Where to find the 9" rear axle
67-73 medium and big block Mustangs and Cougars
66-71 Fairlanes, Torinos, Montegos, Comets, and other Ford intermediates
with big blocks
57-59 V8 Fords and Mercurys
77-81 Lincoln Versailles & Trucks
Type of 9" axle housings
67-73 Mustang/Cougar - light duty, thinnest housing material, small axle
bearings, 28 and 31 splines
57-68 passenger car and 1/2 ton truck - medium duty, stronger than Mustang
type, 28 and 31 splines
Ranchero/Torino - heavy duty thick wall housing, 3.25 inch diameter axle
tubes with flat tops
69-77 Galaxies (coils), Lincolns (coils), and late pickups (leaf)- 3.25
inch diameter all the way to the backing plate, coil housings have upper
control arm mount
How to recognize 9" housing centers
57 - no dimples, flat center band up the center of the rear cover, bottom
drain plug
58-59 - two dimples on back of housing, flat center band, some had drain holes
60-67 - two dimples, flat center band, oil level hole in back cover
63-77 Lincoln, LTD, Thunderbirds had 9.375 inch centers, housings were cut
away at the gasket surface for ring gear clearance, one curved rib at the front
top portion of differential. Strong, but no gears.
Types of 9" Axles
28 spline axles cannot be shortened and resplined (they're tapered)
Some can: 69-73 Mustang and Cougars have a straight 28 spline axle.
72 and earlier 31 spline axles have the ability to be shortened
73 and later 9" (big cars) have a 5-on-5 bolt circle and the axles cannot be
67-73 Mustang axles identified by wheel flange:
I always use a 9 inch Ford under my projects. I dislike the spicer type/bolt on rear cover rear ends ...
Not sure how wide the leafs are spaced on the 35 but the S10 might bolt in but prolly not very strong. Might look at a Camero/Firebird 8.5 or 12 bolt also.
Oh i know s10 axles are strong enough i had an s10 and had 1 1/2 ton of feed in the bed n never broke it

I opened up a Paypal claim for that FPR that I never received. Screw him I want my 15 bucks back. That can buy me a case of cheap beer.

factory clutch is rated at 300ft/lbs max. guess I should be lucky I got 5,500miles out of it. I'm going to go southbend stage II, good for 400ft/lbs, so even if on day I go K04, I'll be covered.
Even with my sh!ty clutch I destroyed my friends BMW 330i i'll put the video up when I get a chance
you might be able to get away with a clutch disk. my 1.8t was makin atleast 350hp and probably close to 350tq and all it had was a vr plate and an ACT 6 puck disk. never slipped for me, but idk how that will work for a 2.0t... but when i get a new clutch ill be getting a clutch masters or clutch net idk yet
Hey Brent, thanks for the offer to help but the distance between us makes it tough, and I think I'm going to attempt it @ my friends garage. based off this DIY, this should be a cake walk but as we all know it normally never is. I've also got a buddy who has all the tools at his garage (air ratchets and all) so I think I'm heading to the city for this one. based off this DIY it should only take a few hours.
Looks like I'm going to win my Paypal dispute against this guy to get my $15 back. Just shows you that post count here on Vortex doesn't mean everything. He kept giving me promises that he would send me an FPR, refund my money, etc etc and never came through. Paypal emailed him probably close to 10 times about the claim and he never responded.
Ah yes, it's an everclear kind of night.
haha, that one made me laugh
I'm confused... why is this so cheap. Especially when you can flash it yourself....
45 dollars for a chip? Is that right?
EDIT: Wait wait... i figured it out.

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. -- Deonte Burton scored a game-high 24 points, but the Wolf Pack fell to Cal State Bakersfield, 74-66.
The Runners (3-1) led 38-30 at half and allowed a 6-0 run by the Wolf Pack to cut the lead to 38-36. Bakersfield answered with a 17-6 run to take their largest lead of the game at 55-42 with 11:51 left. The Runners would lead by 13 again with 7:21 to go in the game.
The Wolf Pack (2-2) entered the game with two straight road victories in which they rallied from double-digit deficits, but were unable to get closer than 72-66 with a minute to play.
Abdul Ahmed finished with 14 points, Tyrell Corbin had 13 and Erik Kenney had 11 for Bakersfield.
Deonte Burton scored 24 points for Nevada, but committed five turnovers. Cole Huff added 12 points for the Wolf Pack.
Postgame Notes
Nevada is 2-2 after falling 74-66 at CSU Bakersfield (3-1) on Monday. The series with the Roadrunners is tied at 1-1.
The Pack went 2-1 on its three-game road trip and returns home for two games. The Wolf Pack hosts Chattanooga on Friday at 7 p.m. and Morehead State on Sunday at 3 p.m. Both home games are part of the Continental Tire Las Vegas Invitational.
Tonight was the largest margin in game this season. The first three were all two-point games.
Deonte Burton scored a game-high 24 points. Burton has scored 20 or more points in all four games this season. It was the third time he posted a game high.
Burton's two steals gives him 132 for his career, moving him past Kyle Shiloh (2004-07) into seventh on the Nevada career list. He made three 3-pointers to tie Brandon Fields (2006-10) for sixth in school history with 144 made.
Sophomore Cole Huff reached double figures for the third consecutive game finishing with 12 points. It is longest consecutive double figure streak of his career.
Junior Michael Perez failed to score in double figures for the first time this season totaling nine points. Perez made one-of-five three -pointers giving him at least one in each game this season.
Jerry Evans, Jr., Ali Fall and D.J. Fenner all fouled out. It was the second time Fall fouled out and first for the other two players. Head coach David Carter is 76-59 in his fifth season leading the Wolf Pack.

watched all the games, whew, no athletes,
bad tackling, kids scared to hit, what a joke
#2 Sep 11, 2013
They are young kids.... Maybe you should read more about the purpose and mission of Pop Warner...
#3 Sep 11, 2013
No one would want the likes of you to coach their kids. You obviously don't know beans about Pop Warner. It is an introduction of football to CHILDREN!!! They are not yet being scouted by the NFL. But those very children may someday be.
#4 Sep 11, 2013
Are you serious? Get a life and stop obsessing over little kids.
#5 Sep 11, 2013
They have been in it for years. when you play 4 yrs of pop warner and cant tackle, there is a problem. These kids nfl? c'mon man.
#6 Sep 11, 2013
Why exactly are you watching pop warner football?
#7 Sep 11, 2013
Half these kids won't play football past popwarner. They are out there to have fun not to be drafted. Who cares if their skills aren't up to your standards? Worry about your own children.
#9 Sep 11, 2013
I saw these "coaches" screaminf at the top of their lungs "YOU DON'T WANT IT!!!" At 4 year olds. Does anything about that statement seem odd to you?
#10 Sep 23, 2013
withdraw will ya. these kids are scared to death.

There are too many kids playing who dont really want to be there. They dont have the desire to excel nor the discipline needed to play. They have been cuddled by their parents and dont put in the effort needed to be good players. Parents equate football to AYSO soccer, where all players get equal playing time regardless of the effort they show or the talent they have. Everyone gets a trophy just for showing up for the game. Football requires that kids learn their positions, learn the plays and have the ability to perform. Coaches expect the players to do what is required and give their best effort on the field. Coaches give a lot of their time and have to contend with crybaby kids and whining parents who have no concept of what it takes to play the game. Pop Warner (and society in general) has changed greatly in the last 20 or 30 years.
PS: I dont know where you were watching four year olds play football in this area but last time I checked the kids needed to be at least five years old by August 1st to play.
#13 Oct 2, 2013
Pop warner is the most unfair organization you can be involved in. Go to soccer. At least in that sport, like basketball and baseball and hockey, all of the children can touch and handle the ball (puck). In football only the elite few kids (as few as four to six kids per team who play offense) actually will ever score or touch the ball. Just think, all of those practices, money and time spent and your kid only gets 10 plays per game (and a rule had to impose by pop warner to get that)and will never touch the ball unless they recover a chance fumble. Just so the coaches kids can be the hero's. Not only that but when it comes time to hand out the monetary scholarship awards who's kids do you think get those. Your kid that plays on the line?? Not all working parents have the extra time to donate to the many practices that must be held plus the games.
#14 Oct 2, 2013
3 words: Traumatic Brain Injury. Football players, children, youth football players, die every year from traumatic brain injuries from playing football. And Pop Warner is well aware of it. You put your kids through that mr and mrs. super football parents. Not to mention the high number of concussions that occur every year. Freaking stupid. And I don't want to hear about the rules against helmet to helmet contact. It could be helmet or head to anything contact and a traumatic injury to the brain could occur and is likely to occur in a sport like football. It's an irresponsible sport to have your children involved in . Shame on you. You're probably the kind of people that let their children ride a bicycle without a helmet even though there are laws about that.
#15 Oct 2, 2013
Four words, You Are An Idiot. Most of the very few deaths that occur nation wide are as a result of pre-existing medical conditions like aortic dissection. Hundreds of thousands of kids play football every year and manasge to remain unkilled, non-concussed and otherwise uninjured. I have never heard of any Pop Warner players anywhere dying from traumatic brain injury at any point in the past seven years that I have been involved. The likelihood of a concussion is almost equally probable for soccer players. Significant injury can happen in any sport, even in non-contact sports like basketball.(See Kevin Ware/Louisville) Regarding your last sentence, it is clear that you are a liberal who needs government to provide "rules" to keep themselves and their family safe. Go ahead and teach your kids to be pussified and they can work as subordinates for my kids in the future whom are taught to lead.
#16 Oct 3, 2013
You my friend are the idiot!!! Football injuries and/or deaths
are pre existing? Bullshit!!! It is caused by traumatic brain
injury like the poster said!!! Your kids are taught to lead? They must be the whacko kids from rome who have no morales and treat others like garbage. Oh and as far pop warner kids not getting inujured bad, google it, happens every day.
#17 Oct 3, 2013

#18 Mar 14, 2014
I couldn't agree more! You hit the nail on the head. Just don't try to leave a Pop Warner league. They will try to hold you hostage and take all of your money and equipment. Just ask Hockomock in Massachusetts. It unreal the lengths they will go to keep taking your money

Hello Dan,
somehow the test got lost?! So I've run one on my machine
(Win2k, 512MB Ram, AMD Athlon 64 3000+ @ 2GHz):
In[1]:= $Version
Out[1]= "5.1 for Microsoft Windows (October 25, 2004)"
your original code:
In[2]:=CompressNumericalSequence[S_] :=
Module[{C = Function[{C, R, i}, If[i < Max[R],
If[Length[Position[R, i]] == 0,
C[C, (If[#1 > i, #1 - 1, #1] & ) /@ R, i], C[C, R, i + 1]],
my code:
CNS[lst_] := Module[{tmp = First /@ Split[Sort[lst]]},
Flatten[(Position[tmp, #1] & ) /@ lst]]
2 things are missing: a supercomputer and patience.
The test will run on only 10^5 elements.
In[4]:= test = Table[Random[Integer, {1, 5000}], {100000}];
In[5]:= First[Timing[t1 = CompressNumericalSequence[test]; ]]
>From In[5]:=
$IterationLimit::itlim Iteration limit of 4096 exceeded. More...
Out[5]= 25.25*Second
We have to do a special setting to run your code
In[6]:=Block[{$IterationLimit = Infinity},
First[Timing[t1 = CompressNumericalSequence[test]; ]]]
Out[6]= 93.375*Second
In[7]:= $IterationLimit (* is 4096 again *)
Out[7]= 4096
In[8]:= First[Timing[t2 = CNS[test]; ]]
Out[8]= 15.407*Second
test the equality of the results:
In[9]:= t1 == t2
Out[9]= True
Well, I see: it's SLOWER, the result is completely different and I don't
have to tweak Mathematica's default settings to run it at all.
These are three major disadvantages.
Sorry for bothering you,


text: BETHESDA, Md., April 3, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- If you own a vehicle, chances are it needs some work, according to the Car Care Council. National Car Care Month in April is the ideal time to give your car some extra attention. The results of vehicle inspections held at community car care events across the country during Car Care Months in April and October 2012 reveal that 77 percent of vehicles need service or parts. An annual analysis of vehicle inspection forms found the top three problem areas posting the highest failure rates to be engine oil (22 percent), engine cooling systems (20 percent) and brake service (18 percent). Eight percent of the vehicles inspected had the "check engine" light on and new air filters were needed in 19 percent of the vehicles. At least one belt was reported as unsatisfactory in 14 percent of the vehicles inspected, and 10 percent required at least one new hose. Battery cables, clamps and terminals needed maintenance in 11 percent of the vehicles inspected, while 10 percent of the batteries were not properly held down. When checking lubricants and fluids, the three top failure rates were: low or dirty motor oil at 22 percent; low, leaky or dirty coolant at 20 percent; and inadequate brake fluid levels at 18 percent. Power steering, coolant and transmission fluids were also checked and had failure rates of 14 percent and below.

Nigerian artist davido naked pictures leaked by KNUST girl
Nigerian artist Davido was in Ghana to perform at the Miss ISA 2012 pageant at KNUST – Kumasi and he did perform extra. While in the country, he met 18 year old Port Harcourt based Sonia Jumbo, who is studying in Ghana, they had sex and she took photos of him while he was sleeping and put them on the net.
After the pics leaked and the news got to the artiste, he, unlike other artistes accepted that they had sex. He however claimed that he was sleeping when the pics were taken (thats illegal) and leaked on the internet (again a criminal act) by the barely 18 year old girl.

Irradiation inactivation of listeria monocytogenes in low fat ground pork at frozen and refrigerated temperature. Journal of Food Protection. 69:2955-2960. Interpretive Summary: Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogen responsible for many incidences of illness every year. Ionizing radiation is a safe and effective technology that can be used to improve the safety of foods. In this study the ability of ionizing radiation to inactivate L. monocytogenes in low fat raw ground pork was investigated. Irradiation was able to inactivate 99.999 percent of the pathogen at temperatures of 4, 0, and -18C with minimal effects on pork quality. Meat producers and regulatory agencies can use this information to provide safer pork products to consumers.
Technical Abstract: Gamma irradiation effectively controls Listeria monocytogenes in uncooked and in ready-to-eat foods. This study was conducted to determine if gamma irradiation could be used to control L. monocytogenes in ground pork. Ground pork was contaminated with L. monocytogenes, kept at refrigerated (4C), chilled (0C), and frozen (-18C) temperatures overnight, exposed to gamma irradiation and stored at 4C for 7 days, 0C, and -18C for 60 days. Following irradiation, the meat was assayed for L. monocytogenes viable counts and lipid oxidation. A triangle test was performed to determine if non-inoculated sausage made from irradiated and non-irradiated ground pork differed in sensory quality. It was observed that a 5-log reduction of L. monocytogenes viable counts would require a 3.0 kGy irradiation dose. The results of a 60-day storage study of ground pork inoculated with 10(5)-10(6) CFU of L. monocytogenes per g indicated that counts for non-irradiated meat remained fairly constant at refrigerated, chilled, and frozen temperature. However, irradiation of ground pork with 3.0 kGy could inactivate L. monocytogenes totally at all temperatures used in this study. Lipid oxidation measurements, as determined by the TBARS assay, ranged from 0.16 nmol/g for unirradiated ground pork and 0.20 nmol/g for meat irradiated at 3.0 kGy. Sensory panelists were able to distinguish between irradiated and non-irradiated sausage but were divided on whether irradiation adversely affected the sausage quality. Our results suggest that gamma irradiation may be useful to control L. monocytogenes in ground pork and improve the safety of pork products.
