New Celestia Wallpaper
The blanked out spots will be revealed as the release comes closer.
Letter to the Wizard101 Community
To the Wizard101 Community:
As many of you are aware, we are currently experiencing some technical difficulties with the Wizard101 game service. As we work through these issues, we are temporarily limiting the number of players who can log into the game at one time. We've made this change due to the large number of players trying to log in simultaneously, which has led to noticeable delays when connecting to the game.
We will allow more and more players into the world as the issues are resolved. Login priority will be given first to paying customers, followed by our free player community. Also note that this delay is being caused on initial login only; there are no delays once you have entered the game, and subsequent attempts to connect should be noticeably faster.
Thank you for being patient as we work through these issues. We understand that this is an inconvenience, and we are doing everything we can to address it as quickly as possible.

Ravenwood School of Magical Arts Welcomes Spring Competition
WIZARD CITY, The Spiral (March 5, 2010) – The winds of spring are blowing across Wizard City, and with them come the fresh spirit of competition. Inspired by Earth's finest athletes at their winter games, Wizards from every school and many worlds of the Spiral are ready to set forth on grand new adventures with their loyal pets alongside them, with exciting new activities and fresh challenges soon to come.
When asked what's in store for pet-owners, Merle Ambrose, headmaster of Ravenwood School of Magical Arts, replied: "This spring, pets will be able to do more than you have ever dared hope! These fine creatures will serve alongside you in wonderful new ways, taking you to unseen parts of familiar worlds, and in time to come, worlds beyond those you know! If you think you have seen all that the Spiral has to offer, young Wizard, you will soon discover an all new breed of entertainment!"
When asked to elaborate, Ambrose replied cryptically, "The answer you seek may be in the stars... or it just might be there alongside you."
The Price of Exploiting
Recently players found an exploit that allowed them to unfairly obtain the new winged mounts.
Players who participated in this exploit will have the items removed from their accounts. We will be recovering the item(s) and issuing a credit to the account equal to the gold amount paid. Players may experience disconnects while this inventory recall takes place. Players are welcome to re-purchase the item(s) according to the posted Crown pricing.
If you participated in this exploit, know that we will not tolerate abuse of the systems in place. Using exploits in game is a violation of the Terms of Use and continued exploitation may result in permanent account bans.
New! New! New!
Starting in the early hours of February 18th, the SHOP will carry some new items!
New Mounts! One of the most requested Mount additions has been a pair of wings, and we've got TWO for you to choose from: Seraph Wings and Bat Wings. Both types of wings can be purchased for either gender! These Mounts are only available to purchase from the Crowns Shop for Crowns, but they can also be found on high level bosses of the Spiral!
New Weapons Sometimes a wand just doesn't make quite the statement you were going for, so here are three Epic Weapons: The Ascendant Staff, the Phosphorescent Maul and the Cerulean Edge! Like the new Mounts, these weapons are only available to purchase from the Crowns Shop for Crowns, but they can also be found on high level bosses of the Spiral!
New Outfits Those of you who remember the old retired Crowns gear will rejoice, these two new Epic outfits are made up from very powerful items with crazy powerful stats and cards! These items DO have a level restriction on them, but any level Wizard can buy them! If you see a small lock icon on these items in the SHOP that only indicates you cannot WEAR the item now, but you can purchase it, and store it for later. Again, these items are only available to purchase from the Crowns Shop for Crowns, but they can also be found on high level bosses of the Spiral (the bosses drop the individual items, not the entire sets).
These high level additions are just the beginning of new items that will be introduced to the Crowns Shop, because a young Wizard must be prepared for things to come....

KingsIsle's Wizard101 Community Raises $126,000 for Children's Charities
Plano, TX (Jan. 11, 2010) – Wizard101 players showed their strength as a community in benefiting two worthy organizations – Austin Children's Shelter and Child's Play. From Dec. 14 to Jan. 5, players were able to purchase an in-game riding mount, the "Meowmodon", for approximately $15 with all proceeds from the sales going to the two charities. The $126,000 raised by Wizard101 players will be evenly distributed between the charities. The endeavor was the first for the award-winning, magic-themed massively multiplayer online (MMO) game.
Wizard101 selected the two beneficiaries – Austin Children's Shelter and Child's Play – to support the local Austin community as well as the global gaming community. Austin Children's Shelter provides emergency shelter and care for abused and neglected children, and Child's Play is a game industry charity dedicated to providing games and toys to children in hospitals worldwide.
"Wizard101 fans have shown that there truly is strength in numbers," said Elie Akilian, CEO of KingsIsle Entertainment. "We were thrilled to see the Wizard101 community band together to benefit these two great organizations."
In Wizard101, kids and families enter the magical world of Wizard City as student Wizards setting out to hone their Wizard skills, cast spells and summon powerful creatures to fight evil forces.

Wizard101 Unveils New Mount to Raise Money for Children's Charities
Sales of "Meowmodon" to support Child's Play and the Austin Children's Shelter
We are proud to give our players and their friends a unique way to support children this holiday season. The purchase of an in-game mount, the "Meowmodon", will benefit the Austin Children's Shelter and Child's Play. The Austin Children's Shelter provides emergency shelter and care for abused and neglected children and Child's Play is a game industry charity dedicated to providing games and toys to children in hospitals worldwide.
The black and white Meowmodon resembles a large tiger and sells for 7,500 in-game Crowns per mount. For each Meowmodon mount sold, KingsIsle will donate the full amount (a retail value of approximately $15) to the two charities, divided equally. The Meowmodon is available for purchase through the in-game Crown Shop from December 14, 2009 through January 5, 2010.
"We have an opportunity to give back by tapping into the power of our Wizard101 community – our 5 million players can make a real difference to deserving children," said Elie Akilian, CEO of KingsIsle Entertainment. "We chose these organizations because we wanted to support the communities that we are a part of – one located in the same city as our design studio and another with global reach, just like Wizard101."
To see more regarding this visit the official Wizard101 website
Do you want to live in a tower of Fire, a Treehouse or a Jules Verne inspired Storm house? Now you can! Next time you log in to Wizard101 the game, click the SHOP button on your screen and look for the new house tab. There you can see new Castles & Lands for each of the Ravenwood Schools; Storm, Myth, Life, Ice, Fire, Death and Balance. Each Castle can be previewed with the small magnifying glass icon that appears when you select a house in that tab. These houses will have space for 250 items outside and 250 items inside! These houses do count towards your total of three houses per character, so players who already have three houses will have to sell one in order to purchase one of these School themed houses.
Coincidentally, Felix Navidad has finally arrived in the Spiral, better late than never! He brings with him an assortment of items to purchase for the Yuletide season, and he will only be in the Spiral for a short time. Like all our other holiday shopkeepers, he can be found near the fountain in the Wizard City Shopping District, and decorations can be found in the Ravenwood Commons.
For more information about small changes and updates that were made, please see our December Patch Notes here.

During this time, players will be unable to log in to the game, and active players will be prompted to log out. Our website may also experience interruptions in service during this downtime, and the Test Realm will not be available. Thank you for your patience while we improve the performance of the game for all of our players. Want to learn more? Click here to read our Update Notes for October 2009.
The List: Top 10 MMOs Since WoW
World of Warcraft changed the MMO landscape on November 23rd, 2004, but 174 MMOs have come out since that fateful day. MMORPG.com ranks them and Wizard101 takes the bronze!
Wizard101™ Mounts
The next major new content being developed by KingsIsle Entertainment for Wizard101 is a series of Wizard Mounts that provide a fun, fast, and stylish way of getting around. Many different types of Wizard Mounts will be available with more to come in the future. Initially, four will be introduced: Brooms, Horses, Cats, and Dragons!
Wizard Mounts may be rented for a day or a week. They may also be purchased permanently. The one and seven day rental gives Wizards a chance to try out the mount and decide which one they want to own permanently. One day rentals add a 20% movement speed increase. Seven day rentals and permanent purchases add a 40% movement speed increase.
One day rentals may be purchased with in-game gold. Seven day rentals and permanent Wizard Mounts may be purchased with in-game gold or Crowns. All mounts may be purchased at the Crown shop (player user interface that will be available in October) or Zeke.

Wizard101 Extended Downtime
Wizard101 the game will be offline during an extended maintenance period of 3am to 6am Central US Time on Thursday August 27th 2009.
During this time, players will be unable to log in to the game, and players who are in the game will be prompted to log out.
This maintenance allows us to repair a PvP bug.
Thank you for your patience while we continue to improve the game for all of our players.
Wizard101 Maintenance
Wizard101 the game will be offline during an extended maintenance period of 3am to approximately 5am Central US Time on Wednesday July 29th. During this time, players will be unable to log in to the game, and players who are in the game will be prompted to log out. During this downtime we will be addressing the following issues:
Player vs Player Points Adjustment During the July 29th maintenance downtime, we will be adjusting the Player vs Player points.
Due to an issue with the Player vs Player ranking system, players were erroneously being awarded increased PvP points after a duel.
To resolve this issue, we decided not to reset everyone's Player vs Player points back to 500, but instead we chose to only reset those points that appear to have been incorrectly calculated.
To ensure a fair playing field, all scores above 950 have been reduced to 950. This will not affect the PvP Titles or Arena Tickets you have earned.
Bazaar Pricing Discrepancies During the July 29th maintenance downtime, we will be addressing some of Elik's purchase prices for items that he previously was not giving full value for.
Elik promised he would give a better value for items than the regular shopkeepers, and we are holding him to his word.
After the update, if you still find an item that sells for more at the regular shopkeepers than at the Bazaar, please submit a bug report and let us know the exact item and the prices.
Looking For Deployed Moms
Students, Friends, and Families of Wizard101,
Are you a single mother who is deployed or has returned from deployment and plays Wizard101 with a child? If you are, we would love to hear from you! We'd like to share your story with others who are looking for ways to connect with children over long distances.
To participate, send an email message to email@example.com and tell us a little about yourself and your child. Don't forget to tell us how best we can get in contact with you.
Thank you for staying connected with us!
Maximum Level/Grandmaster XP
Wizard101 friends, fans, and customers,
When we first envisioned our sixth world we saw it as a world Wizards would experience after Dragonspyre. This world would have increased the maximum level beyond 50 and the supporting content (new spells, equipment, etc) necessary for the max level increase. However, when we dug into the overall Wizard101 game play and what would best serve our community we decided to launch Grizzleheim(which is stupid and a waste of money by the way), a world that created a parallel experience and offered new content and experiences as players leveled thru the entire game and the other five worlds. While we hope that high level characters find the content enjoyable and engaging the immediate downside to this decision was that no level increase was introduced with this world.
Our decision to launch Grizzleheim also afforded us the ability to address several features that you, our community, had asked for. Features like the ability to group with other Wizards, control friend requests(by the way you should add Mark Dragon), trade request and new systems like crafting and the bazaar. We felt they were good, valuable additions, and so we made a decision to include them for all players new and old to enjoy.
That said, we did mention to our highest level players that the level cap would be raised this summer and we were not able to make that goal a reality. We apologize for that and would like say that we are continuing forward with plans to release new worlds that do push Wizards beyond level 50. In order to accomplish it, we need to make sure there are new opponents, quests, worlds, spells, and more.
If you're close to or already at level 50, we invite you to explore Grizzleheim, the new crafting system, and the Bazaar and hope you are interested in seeing what new things we have in store for you soon.
Thank you for playing Wizard101!

Wizard101's Test Realm is now Open for the Weekend!
From our player feedback, we've taken a look at the Bazaar and added sorting of items as well as improved the overall experience with the Bazaar.
We need you, our players, to spend some time in the Test Realm at the Bazaar and really test out how the new system works. Buy and sell as much as you can, and remember what you do on the Test Realm in no way affects your Live Realm characters.
Once you've given the new Bazaar experience a thorough testing, post your feedback on the Test Realm section of the message boards.
To learn how you can participate in this Test Realm, please see our Sneak Peek Page.

July 8th Update
There will be an update to Wizard101 July 8th at 3am Central US Time that will include the following important updates!
Enhanced Boss Encounters Update
- The bosses of the Spiral have been taught a lesson by Merle Ambrose, and they will no longer interrupt your combat! All the Enhanced Boss Battles are back to normal, but the bosses have kept their knowledge of Power Pips, and they will earn and use Power Pips just like a Wizard.
Crafting Updates
- More Mist Wood and Scrap Iron will be appearing in the Spiral, and should be easier for :Wizards to find as they learn the ways of Reagents and Crafting.
- Cool down timers on some recipes have been lowered to allow Wizards to create items more quickly.
- Reagents have been added as rewards for Mini Games!
- The reagents needed for Treasure Cards have been reduced, most notably the number of Treasure Card ingredients needed to create the final Treasure Card.
- The descriptions for some of the Craft-able Items were incomplete and should now reflect all the bonuses the items grant the player.
Treasure Card Updates
- Harold Argleston in the Wizard City Library, and Zan'ne in the Krokotopia Library will have some of their inventory of Treasure Cards renewed, but at a cost. Treasure Cards in the Library will be more expensive than in the Bazaar, and the Bazaar will be more expensive than Crafting your own Treasure Cards. *
Quest Updates
- The Weapons Cache in Merkholm will once again allow players to interact with it, without having to switch Realms.
- Death Students will be acknowledged for completing the Sweet Revenge quest.
Stump Worms will be appearing once again for the Good Eats quest.
Housing Update
- The Wallpaper and Floor textures that had suddenly turned pink and purple for many Wizards, will once again appear as their normal wallpaper and floor patterns!
Thank you to all our young Wizards who gave us feedback and bug reports! See you in Wizard City!
- ~Professor Greyrose
A Message From Cyrus Drake
Hello students..
I am hearing loud and clear the message that many of you do not approve of the enhanced boss fights, or at least the way in which they were implemented.
The idea behind these was not to make the game more "hardcore", more difficult or to make it impossible to group. We simply wanted those encounters to be more interesting than 1. Defeat Monster, 2. Collect Loot. Each of the we changed bosses had a twist on normal combat, or required a specific strategy to be employed, like a puzzle.
Rest assured, we have heard your displeasure, and we will re-visit the boss fights very soon.

Kingsisle Entertainment to Launch New Wizard101 World: Grizzleheim
Online entertainment company KingsIsle Entertainment, Inc. today officially revealed plans for Grizzleheim, a new 3D world to be added to the popular virtual world Wizard101.
The often silly characters and worlds of Wizard101 are influenced by literature; history and pop culture that give the game a depth and quality appreciated by adults, and make it enjoyable for families to play together. Safety features aimed at pre-teen players include a collaborative play style, a chat system with many options and a character name selector.
Inspired by Norse mythology, Grizzleheim is an airy, outdoor landscape of snowy mountains, glacial ridges and towering trees that is home to three new Wizard101 tribes - Bears, Wolves and Ravens. Players will first encounter the Viking Bears of Grizzleheim, great traders with the ability to travel the worlds of the Spiral, in the free-to-play areas of WizardCity. As student wizards adventure through subseq uent worlds, Grizzleheim will offer new quests, new locations to explore, new opponents and new Viking-themed decorative housing items interspersed throughout the mid and higher levels of the game.
Grizzleheim is expected to roll out beginning in June. As with other new content, the world will launch first on the Wizard101 test server, where subscribers will help beta test features before it goes live in the game. Wizard101 has an ESRB rating of E10+. Pre-paid gift cards are available at major U.S. retailers.
Housing in Wizard City
Beginning in the fantasy-inspired world of Wizard City, a turtle character named "Buxley Turtleton" is the Castles and Lands vendor who allows players to choose a type of Wizard City-themed house. Each world in the game will have a turtle character that sells the Castles and Lands which correspond to the world the player is in at that time. Players can teleport to their own house or over to a friend's house via their Friends List. Decorations can be obtained through many methods including in-game gold, PvP Arena Points, quest rewards, exploration, defeat of selected bosses, common or rare enemy drops and Crown (microtransaction) purchase. Features include:
- Three tiers of housing: Dorm, Modest Private and Luxury Private
- Two housing styles for each of five current worlds, beginning with Wizard City.
- Over 1,000 decorative housing items such as plants, statues, wall hangings, columns, pictures, furniture and more.
- Many variations, including more than 20 types of detailed wallpaper and flooring.
Housing can take some time to build, especially with the current demand. If you purchase housing and can not enter please wait another 15 minutes before trying again.
May 6th Downtime and Updates
Wizard101 will be offline Wednesday May 06 2009 starting at 3:00am Central US time until approximately 8:00am Central US time. Wizard101 will be offline for an extended period of time tonight so we can implement the much anticipated Castles & Lands housing feature, voiceovers for Marleybone, MooShu and Dragonspyre, and many other exciting updates.

Wizard101 Weekend Assignment February 20
Many of you have given us some GREAT feedback about what has affectionately become known as THE Fizzle Bug.
For those of you not familiar with this bug, its symptoms are round after round (particularly in PvP) of all players fizzling ALL their spells, including 100% wand spells. (Now I'm not referring to just a bad streak of fizzles, this is something that will affect the entire team for the remainder of the duel.)
We're pretty sure that we've cast a strong enough spell to rid ourselves of this Fizzle Bug once and for all, but just to be sure, I want all our Wizards to try to make this bug happen in any way you know.
That is your assignment for this weekend; see if you can catch THE Fizzle Bug. If you do, post on our Message Boards in this section. We're particularly interested in: 1. Realm 2. Area 3. Location Thank you! I hope none of you encounter this bug, and don't worry this is not an assignment that you can fail.
Hopefully Fixed!
The following issues should of been addressed in January 18'ths downtime. -Empty Friends Lists will be restored -We found the key to Grimcasters Tower in the Crucible so that door will now be unlocked. -Vika Markmaker has decided to join in on the duels once again. -Jing-han He has his memory back and will once again recall that he's given you a quest to complete. -Player vs Player teaming up issues will no longer lock players in a loop. You should be able to join matches and team up as normal And once again, thank you to our fans who have been dedicated to letting us know all they can about these issues so that we can quickly address them. You are what makes Wizard101 fun for everyone.

Wiki News
As of Monday 9th February the Wiki link will be on the Wizard 101 Fanpage. This is awesome news - more than likely meaning more people will find the site, make use of everyone's hard work and possibly put in some of their own!
Great Work
We have now cleared over 2000 articles - this is absolutely awesome! A lot of work has gone into getting the information for Wizard City together and displayed, and finally the light at the end of the tunnel seems to glimmer in the distance - with this momentous task drawing to conclusion. It will take a couple more weeks to finish adding the final touches, and of course the information will probably continue to go up as rare items drop, and yearly events roll around. Fantastic efforts to everyone who has added information in this time - it is due to you that this site is quickly become a good resource for the game and I hope many of you stay with it as we move on to Krokotopia and beyond - maybe we can even catch up before too many more worlds get added!
FAQ Page
If you cannot find an answer within the wiki leave your question on the FAQ page. If you know the answer to question there or have more information to share on one of the questions please edit. Your help will be appreciated!!! The FAQ page will be checked by the Admins often.
Adding and Editing
If you wish to add a page, bravo, you will be helping everyone who uses this Wiki. A simple request however is to use the templates to ensure that it fits the look of the other pages and ensures your new page can be found. We generally do not delete content but may move it to a more suitable location, or merge it if it is pre-existing. If you wonder where something you have created has gone email the admins. Basic templates have been created for most sections, use templates by putting in saving - the template will then load and you can add your information into the loaded format! Templates currently exist for Locations, Items, Quests, NPC, Spells. There are also a lot of categories to help keep the data sorted and easy to find, if in doubt put it in the main category. If you wish to edit an existing page - feel free, this is what a wiki is about. Please do not delete another persons valuable addition unless you know it is wrong - it is better to move it to the discussion tab and wait for it to be validated by someone else than to be wrong yourself. Admins have a formidable task of keeping the information sorted, patrolling some of the vandalism that gets added and verifying facts. As well as adding their own pages. All assistance is appreciated - you can report problems, email them or leave a message on their user page - they will get to the issue as soon as possible. If you feel confident enough feel free to try fix the issue yourself, even if you make a mistake it is fairly easy for the admins to fix it later, the effort will be greatly appreciated and you will learn and do better next time. Most of all feel good in knowing you are improving the Wiki, and helping Wizards all across the Spiral.
Featured Page
Diego the Duelmaster is an NPC located just outside of the arena. He sells over 120 items that can all be purchased with arena tickets. This gear is all "No Trade" and "No Auction" so that once you buy it, your current wizard has it for good. The best gear that is sold here is the Commander gear, which requires an arena rank of Commander to purchase it. This set of gear consists of the Cowl of Tribulation, the Coat of Invincibility, and the Footgear of the Indomitable. When combined these items produce some amazing stats for your wizard in duels, but outside of duels, this gear is completely useless because it reduces a player's mana by 100%. (therefore a player can not cast any spells requiring pips) In addition to the commander gear, Diego sells sets of items that can only be purchased when a wizard is above a certain level and in a specific school. Unlike the Commander gear, these items can be worn outside of the arena and give your wizard wonderful boosts for their school.

Retired Items
We are still looking for images of Zeke's retired items. We still endeavor to document all of the items that were for sale and their stats. Our admin team is direly in need of a source of the items that were sold in Marleybone and Moo Shu. (An admin has a complete list of the Wizard City and Krokotopia Items.) Anyone with one of the retired items please begin a new article with the item's name as the title. Any contributions are greatly appreciated!

Eight-year-old Musheer is excited to play his maiden Kanga League match, but is not getting carried away.
"I know I will break my brother's record tomorrow. I am not very happy about it though," left-arm spinner Musheer said.
Sarfaraz, who recently made his India U-19 debut, became the tournament's youngest debutant when he was 10 in 2007.
Musheer's father Naushad will lead the team. "I will play in the lower division this time to guide my son. I felt he is ready for the next level. I am praying he does well," said the doting father.

Blast Processing
Posted on June 26, 2016 at 05:04
Download the ROM here.
Also, I knew these sprites I made 3 years ago would come in handy some day!...
Messing around with horz and vert scrolling to simulate background rotation and ended up with this cool wavy effect
Download the ROM here.
Dev - Er, any ideas how to make this work?
Related Posts
@Jani: I am also using SGDK for this project, makes things much easier.
@Mega: I have the SGDK forum and numerous examples to thank for this. This development kit does so much for you already, it's insane.
@Yaywalter: Just wait until I figure out vertical scanline parallax scrolling.
@Nopy: The amazing part is that the Genesis makes up for its lack of memory with its ability to do really fast DMA transfers between ROM and VRAM, possibly explaining why the horizontal scrolling in Sonic the Hedgehog was able to go as fast as it did. SGDK's sprite engine automatically does this with sprite animation so that we don't need to keep ALL animation frames in VRAM (e.g. for the player if it has many frames of animation)...
@aeron: wtf where did your comment come from?
I am aiming to have bounding box collisions implemented by the end of today (if not, then by the end of the week).
Yes, it's just that Sega's marketing teams were made aware of the programming techniques that allowed devs to "blast" data directly into memory and exaggerated it to the extreme. That, and of course the Genesis's 68k CPU was clocked at nearly twice the speed as the SNES's was.
But don't get me wrong, feature-wise the Genesis is much more limited than the SNES. But I guess that's what makes it a lot easier to program for.

Power for the existing projects in the Maricunga region is normally sourced from near Copiapó and carried to the mines by private power lines owned by the operating companies.
Exeter has a detailed and focused water exploration strategy to meet the water requirements of the various project scenarios. The company has completed a series of exploration programs on various water tenements.
The aggregate flow rate from the six large diameter exploration wells completed at Exeter's Peñas Blancas1 water concession is now over 400 litres per second ("L/s"), considerably above Exeter's original target of +200 L/s. The ultimate, cumulative flow rate potential of the aquifer remains open.
Drilling results suggest Peñas Blancas is part of a previously undiscovered, extensive, subterranean aquifer. It is located centrally within a high-altitude basin, where there are no other existing underground water rights. The extensive winter snowfall in the area is believed to be the source of recharge. The Company believes the aquifer could support any of the three identified low capex, development options for the Caspiche project as outlined in the Amended NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Caspiche Project ("2014 PEA")2. Importantly, the aquifer could also provide an appropriate long term water resource for other potential users in this arid, largely unpopulated region of Chile. Current expectations, based on the 2014 PEA, is that the 30,000 tonnes per day ("tpd") standalone oxide operation requires peak water requirements of 44 L/s; Option 2, 60,000 tpd open pit and 27,000 tpd gold copper sulphide pit expansion requires peak water of 185 L/s; and Option 3, 60,000 tpd open pit and 27,000 tpd underground gold copper operation requires peak water consumption of 151 L/s. Under all of these new, potentially viable mine plans, water requirements are significantly reduced. Exeter's current water activities are targeting to secure sufficient water to meet the requirements outlined within the 2014 PEA studies.
The objective of Exeter's water program is to identify, evaluate, and secure water sources to support a potential initial heap leach gold stage and a follow-on gold-copper sulphide stage of mining at Caspiche. Preliminary, internal studies relating to developing Caspiche as a smaller scale, staged mine indicate potential for a significantly lower water requirement.
In January 2017, Exeter signed an option agreement with Cleanairtech Sudamerica SA ("CAT") to supply 50 litres per second (L/s) of desalinated water. It is the Company's intention to use this water in construction, commissioning and operation of the first stage heap leach gold facility at Caspiche, subject to the outcome of a feasibility study.
1 Exeter's Chilean subsidiary, Minera Eton ("Eton") and the Chilean subsidiary of Canadian company Atacama Pacific Gold Corporation are jointly exploring ("JV") for water in Northern Chile where Eton is earning an aggregate 90% interest in the Peñas Blancas concession and other water concessions. See Exeter news release NR 14-02 dated February 27th, 2014.

"Great Staff, great location"
Very good location. Within walking distance to and from Southern Cross Station. A very short walk to Southbank and also to Myer and David Jones. The room was nice and clean, and the bed was very comfortable. A nice bar downstairs, with outside heating which was great! David on the front desk was wonderful. He was so friendly, engaging and helpful, and he even suggested places to go and eat.

7th-grade English portfolio
My portfolio reflection
1. At the beginning of the year I used more generic slang like words for my writing but than I began to describe things with more details witch led to me using more formal words.
2. My writing strengths are when I describe things or when I just write in general. I am strong in these things because at home my English teaching mom, psychologist dad, and A student sister all use very intelligent and descriptive words witch allow me to speak differently than most kids my age.
3. My grammar and spelling is something I need much help on. I need help on this because as I am writing this reflection I miss spell something.
4.I think the piece of writing that best captures my growth as a writer and thinker is my outsiders essay. The outsiders essay was one of our last long writing assignments that we had and what that means is that we took everything we have learned and put it into this.
5.I am most proud of my wonder Ir project because of the amount of time I took to enjoy the book and because of the words and time I put into my writing.

Goodreads review and brief summary
The book Wonder written by R.J. Palacio was a very humorous and emotional experience. This book was very engaging because it would have some very sad moments but then they would brighten up with the humor of the characters. Also you could connect with the characters because of how well the author made them and how amazingly realistic there personality's were.The book Wonder had some very important morals in it that changed my way of thinking about other people and how helpful you can be to other people. The book was so good that it was hard to put it down. In conclusion, Wonder was a very mind blowing and exciting novel, that I would probably read again.
Wonder is a book about how you should not judge a person by how they look but by how they act. This book is about a boy named August Pullman who is entering the fifth-grade with a facial deformity. August was home schooled since he was born until now, when his parents believe he is ready to go to school. Since August looks different people feel different around him which causes some of the main problems in this book. Later on in the book August begins to make friends and learns to overcome his problems at school. By the end of the book August has had a wonderful year and will have a better one next year.

Hero's Journey Essay
The hero of a story is the light in the dark the up stander of a situation. In this essay the reader will learn many thing about the hero's journey and how they fit into the ponyboy's story. One of the things you should know is that ponyboy and most greasers live a tough life so some of the things they might say or experience could be quite shocking. The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton is a mono myth because ponyboy the protagonist experiences the hero's journey.
Ponyboy experiences the separation from the known when Johnny kills the socs Bob and they are forced to run away with the help of their friend Dally. After Johnny kills bob he tells ponyboy, "we gotta get out a here. Get somewhere, run away. The police will be here soon"pg 57. In the hero's journey, the separation from the known is when the hero is faced with something he or she is new and not comfortable with or with something that they have no experience with. In the Outsiders, Johnny and Ponyboy experience the separation from the known because of what Johnny did to Bob and because of how they dealt with it. This quote shows evidence of Johnny telling Ponyboy that they should hide and run away instead of facing their consequences. The reason why they think this way is because of the rumors they have heard of the electric chair. This is the main reason that they react like this but also they have never been in a situation like this and they are nervous and scared so the first thing that comes to their mind is there crazy friend dally who has experienced something similar many times. By the end of this chapter Johnny and Ponyboy began their escape with the help of dally but what they don't know is what is ahead or what will come from this.
In conclusion, the Outsiders by S.E. Hinton is a book that shows the hero's journey through different perspectives but especially through ponyboy's. The point of this essay is to let the reader to understand and feel for the characters. And how the hero's journey is a slow but achieving goal. Remember that this happens in most people's life and that you should be there for the people who need help in their story.

"It is nice to see a young buck like you with a thick patch of pubes," Terrence says, "most guys your age are into shaving their cocks and balls."
I jut out my own mid-section, cock still at full mast from my groin, proudly displaying my hair-covered manhood for Mr. Kilcrease and the Bucs-man, Terrence, as they too are sporting their own massive erections.
"Not me," I say, "I like my fur, it's a sign that I am a man. It ain't goin' nowhere, sir."
"My stepsons shave their balls," Mr. Kilcrease interjects, as he strokes his cock, slowly, "I do not know why but they do it, I don't."
"You mean like this?" Aaron comes around from behind me; he is steadily stroking his growing throbbing erection.
Aaron walks from around me, naked, his cock, sporting a semi-erection as he comes from the house, making it known; he wants special attention from us around the pool to see his shaved balls.
Aaron had opened the door, silently, appearing out of the blue, from behind me, he made his presence known to us three men, poolside. Ray follows from behind him, naked too, his cock rest lazily against his legs, flaccid but still impressive in its resting state. He is not touching himself, just reveling in the attention for NOT being hard.
"I shave my balls, because it shows off my cock even more," Ray says, "I get more attention when I parade around in the buff with my shaved balls."
"I have no problem getting what I want," Aaron says, "when I am in the mood to fuck."
"I get plenty of attention, too," I say, "I don't shave my cock or balls, my sex life is active, real active."
"I do quite well, myself," Ray says, "shaved balls and all are just my personal preference. At lease when I get a blowjob, the person doesn't get a mouthful of pubes. I get plenty of offers from the ladies at the gym, I go to, they are not shocked by my lack of fur, they want less of it."
"A mouthful of hair just proves that you got the cock all the way down the gullet," Terrence says, "which is not a bad thing. I like it."
Ray and Aaron dive into the pool. Both emerge at the dangling feet of Terrence, standing up, their chests underwater, on either side of him.
"Terry's sportin' wood," Ray says as he looks up at the rugged Italian man.
"Yeah, sport, I am," Terrence says, "deal with it."
All three laugh at the outward expression of Terrence's 'wood.'
He laughs, not bothered by his visible erection. He grabs his extended tool and gives it a hard tug as a drop of pre-cum appears out of the piss-slit. He coats his tool with his clear man-juice over his cock-head.
"...and I am damn proud of my fuck-tool, too," Terrence says.
"Proud of mine too, fucked a sweet girl this afternoon from my gym, in the backseat of my car," Ray says, boastfully, "she had a right tasty snatch, swallowed up my rod and milked my boy dry of its cum."
"Awright junior, "Mr. Kilcrease says, "I don't care to hear 'bout your sexual escapades."
"Okay," Ray says, riddled with sarcasm, "I'll stay mum, but it was a sweet one, she milked my cock with her shaved tight little pussy."
Ray's cock hardens underneath the water as he describes his afternoon conquest out at the causeway park; he is talking about himself, which fuels his own naracissm.
I can see his erection as it grows where I stand, just a few feet from Daryl on the pools rim.
He is blessed with some awesome equipment between his legs too, just like his stepdad.
Daryl stands with his own erection, unashamed of it in front of his stepsons. He reaches under his balls, cupping them as sweat rolls down off them in the humidity that is so typical of southern Florida.
"Damn, it's hot," Daryl says.
"With that hot piece of meat like that between your legs, "I say, "I would be burning up too. I would be on fire."
"Bud, you ain't doing so bad yourself," he says.
I ain't I am nearly as big a man as he is, my cock could be his double, just darker.
"Anyone want a beer?" Daryl says.
All the men say 'yes' at his suggestion.
"Help me get them, sport," Daryl says to me as we both walk to the fridge behind the bar by the pool.
Once Daryl and I get behind the bar-top, out of sight of the others, Daryl reaches for my cock and strokes it. I bring my hand to the soft curve of his ass, as he squats, and rub my hand across the fine tender-haired covered rounded ass. He makes it known to me that this interaction is solely for us, not something to be shared among the others. As he stoops down, out-of-sight, hidden, he takes my hard cock into his mouth and slides down the full length of my shaft. I jerk as his mouth engulfs me. I am caught unaware of his unplanned advances, obviously, this was his intent when he mentioned the beers.
"Hey, where are those beers?" I hear Aaron shout out from pool, where he is horsing around with his brother.
Daryl hastily takes his mouth off my cock and opens the fridge, grabbing five cold beers, handing me three of them, while he holds two in his own hands.
As we move from behind the bar, he whispers to me in a very low tone, "I'll see you later once everyone goes to bed."
My cock twitches from the advances from Daryl and the excitement, which I know, will come later.
As I survey the others when I carry my beers to them, I get an odd look from Aaron, when I hand him a beer. My cock jumps, as it is still pointing out hard from thick pubes.
The Bucs-man gives me a succession of winks as he fondles his own cock, when I hand him his beer. We brush our hands against each other, he feels good, strong.
My cock thrust out in its own hardness and from the quick secret consumption by Daryl, it glistens in the light of the pool and its own hardness, I can feel the pre-cum as it makes it way up my cum chute of my pee-hole. A drop forms, clear, and full of my DNA, falling, escaping from my body into the chlorinated pool, I am standing over. I feel more forming, as I am drip like a man-spigot.
"The boy is leaking like the young buck, he is, "Terrence says, as the others look intently at my engorged cock and see what he sees.
"It is what it is," Daryl says, "he is a man like all of us here, no need to hide what he has, and the wife ain't here, anyway, so be a man, proudly."
"That I am," I say.
I take a swig of my own cold brew and place it on the patio table near me.
I position myself on the pool rim, ready to take the liquid plunge.
I dive in the pool.
I feel my cock as it makes contact with the cool water.
The sensation shoots through my body as heat meets cool; my hard-on disappears in the cool depths of the pool.
We frolic and play in the pool to the early hours of Saturday morning.
We all lose our hard-ons and just bond as males as we congregate in the nude with our masculinity.
I collapse onto the couch near the witching hour to sleep.
The Bucs-man falls asleep in the leather recliner, his leg spread, his cock, exposed, flops lazily to the right side of his hairy-legged groin.
After the rambunctious activity of our pool play and the hyped up expressions of our individual sexualities, I need rest. Of boasted sexual activities, past and present shared by each of the men.
Aaron and Ray retreats to their rooms, down the long hallway, I was offered the spare room but only made it as far as the couch in the den.
Mr. Kilcrease was the first to disappear; he was worn out and could not keep up with us 'youngins.' I guess he is not going to honor his advance, flirt, from earlier in the evening.
Out of habit, I don my pair of white skivvies from the pool, where I shucked them; I do not want to catch my death of cold from a naked mid-section.
I fall asleep; I fade away into my dreams with ease, dreaming of cock and fucking.
In the early dawning hours of morning, I am startled awake by a hand reaching into the fly of my tight-whitey's, pulling my cock from its confines through the opening.
My cock is finally released from its cotton prison, now it rests on the elasticized waistband of my underwear. I feel the pressure of the elastic as it squeezes underneath my balls into the crevice of my ass.
I shift about in my sleep, not aware at what is going on at first, what is happening until I feel a wet pair of lips encircle my cock and take me into their mouth.
The unknown mouth takes my flaccid cock into it; I feel a nose brush up into my thick bushy pubes.
Is it Terrence?
I groggily look to the recliner behind me; he is snoring loudly, with his hands resting in the crevice of his open thighs. His cock is hard and throbbing as he sleeps. While he sleeps, drops of pre-cum glisten in the pale light as he subconsciously releases his juice. His cock is massive, thick and bushy.
"It's me, bud," the voice identifies itself, "relax and enjoy."
I recognize who it is when he speaks.
It is Mr. Kilcrease, Daryl.
"Lay back, stud," Daryl says, "I want you back in my mouth."
"What about Terrence?" I say.
"You want him to devour your cock too?" Daryl says.
"No, what if he wakes up?" I say.
"He can watch," Daryl says, "he likes what you have between your legs as much as I do."
"What about Aaron and Ray?" I say, alarmed.
"They are fast asleep, don't worry 'bout them," he says, "They sleep like rocks."
Daryl resumes his motions up and down my cock.
He grabs both sides of my tighty-whiteys and yanks them down off my hips and throws them onto Terrence, who moves when the musky smell of my briefs hit him squarely on his face.
Terrence stirs as the briefs strike him in the face, making sniffling noises as he catches a whiff of my masculinity.
He groggingly stirs in his slumber.
I hear him but am caught up in the hot man that is sliding up and then back down on my flesh-pole. This continues for a while, times slips away as I am wrapped up in Daryl's skills as a sucker of cock.
I am shocked by a sharp jolt to my ass as something has been pushed into it.
It is Terrence's finger, he has moved quietly from the recliner to my lower body.
"Oh...oh...oh...," I say as I am pierced by his long powerful digit.
"That feel good, boy?" I hear Terrence say.
"Yeah...yeah, it does," I say, in a contained squeal-like manner, "but I would rather have a cock stuck up my ass."
Daryl raises his head off my swelled member to say.
"I would be happy to fill your sweet hole with my cock."
Daryl moves from my cock to my mouth to give me a deep passionate kiss.
I taste my own cum on his mouth as we exchange our intimacies.
Daryl stands and drops his briefs. As his tighty-whities are pulled down, a hard stiff cock explodes from its release.
His cock looks glorious in all its splendor.
"I want it," I say, "I want it now."
"Well, give it to him, man, "Terrence says, "give that man that cock he wants so badly."
Terrence grabs my two legs and lifts them up, bending me up, opening my ass for entry, taking my ass off the couch. While holding them he moves to my head and stands there. His cock dangles vicariously over my face, asking, begging me to take it in my mouth. I do.
I feel a tongue grease my ass, it is Daryl, lapping up my hole, reading it for his glorious entry.
"Damn what a fine ass," Daryl says," you teased me all day with this sweet hole, now I want it wrapped around my hard cock. Can you do that?"
"Yes sir, I can," I say, "are you sure you can handle my ass, sir?"
"I can take anything you can throw at me," Daryl says.
"Well, prove it, stick that cock in me, Mister," I say.
"He wants it," Terrence says, "give him what he wants."
Daryl says nothing but suddenly I feel his cock plunge deep in the dark regions of my being.
"Damn, boy, you are tight," Daryl says.
"I ain't had a big cock like yours in my hole in quite a while, Mister," I say.
"But you've got one now," Terrence says, "show him what you got Daryl, plow that sweet hairy hole with what you've got."
I smell the manly odor of Terrence's hairy balls towering over my stubbled face; I reach with my tongue and lick the underside of them. The man tastes like the leather chair he fell asleep on, naked, leather and musky scents reek from the studly Italian man as he leans over me sucking my cock as Daryl proudly pounds my hole.
Terrence's cock is a mouthful of dark bristled hair and a thick Italian sausage. He leaks more cum as he pumps my mouth with his tool.
"Suck it, boy," Terrence moans as he skull-fucks my mouth.
Daryl is filling my hole with each thrust of his cock as it enters my hole.
"Let's try a new position, boy," Daryl says, "I want to feel you in different ways."
Daryl sits his bare ass on the leather sofa. He tells me to sit upon his stiff prick and ride him, facing away from him. Which I do.
I drill myself with his cock, while he sits, legs spread, while I rock back and forth on his glorious man-meat, taking him deeper and deeper into my ass.
"Ride me, boy, ride that cock," Daryl screams as his cock goes deep into me.
In the direction of the hallway, which I am looking down, as I ride Daryl's hardened male appendage, I see a silhouette. They are walking closer and closer, into the light of the early morning hours.
It is Aaron.
His tighty-whitey's are pulled down to his pubes, his cock and balls bunched up over the compression of the elastic waistband. In the midst of his exposed pubes, Aaron is stroking his cock, slowly, as he watches, his step-dad pound my hole.
"C'mere boy," Terrence says as he watches my hole being drilled by his bud, Daryl, to the silhouetted figure.
Terrence sees Aaron too.
Aaron walks from the darkened recesses of the hallway.
"He's got a sweet hole that I have wanted to plug for a long time, "Aaron says.
"Not now, you won't," Daryl says, forcefully, "You can fuck him once you get back to Gainesville."
"I will, I will," Aaron says, "gladly."
Daryl pounds ever harder into the dark recess of my ass, as he knows his stepson is a witness to his machinations.
Terrence and Aaron stand on either side of me, stroking their swelled cocks with furious fervor abandonment a few feet from my face.
Terrence is the first to anoint me with his jizz; Aaron follows when he explodes his own cream onto me, mingling with the Italian white-sauce from Terrence.
I am soaked with the man-juices from those two man-beasts.
My cock explodes next from my tool, mixing with others on my chest.
In one swift release, I feel Daryl's cock, pulse; unload the contents of his balls, into my ass. His juice soaks my insides with his seed. I collapse on him after my sexual abandonment.
Daryl reaches for my tighty-whiteys, which Terrence had placed on the backrest of the sofa when he came over to finger my hole. He reaches around me, sops up the three different mixed doses of cum from my chest onto the cotton briefs, and brings the cum-moistened underwear to his nose, smelling the essence of us three men, while his flaccid cock still resides up my ass.

Tropical Storm Bret, which is this year's second tropical storm, formed over the Bahamas Sunday afternoon.
The northern Bahamas are the only ones who might feel effects from the storm.
As of the 5 a.m. advisory, the storm was moving east at about 3 mph and was about 65 miles northwest of Great Abaco Island.
A tropical storm watch is in effect on Grand Bahama Island and the Abaco Islands in the northwest Bahamas. The Bahamas could get rain and strong winds.
The weather service said it could add moisture to the atmosphere in South Florida, which could lead to more rain over the next few days.
Meanwhile meteorologists are keeping an eye on a separate disturbance about 125 miles off the coast of Melbourne that has a 40 percent chance of developing within the next two days.
The National Hurricane Center said conditions had become "a little more conducive" for the development of the system. Although upper-level winds are keeping it in check, it could move into a more favorable environment in the next day or two, said senior hurricane specialists Richard Pasch and Stacy Stewart.
Staff writer Ariel Barkhurst contributed to this report.
