post #21 of 437
9/2/10 at 3:29pm
MW, I think you should just go for it. We've both been on these boards long enough to have seen mamas have boys from DTD 6 days prior to O and mamas that have girls from DTD the day before O.
AFM: I wonder if I should join you guys over here. DH and I have not had a discussion regarding this but we have resumed intercourse and we do not use any protection or w/d. Are we playing with fire? I'm not worried about a baby but I am worried about getting pregnant so soon after a D&E. My chart: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/1f0436 |
MW: Aren't the better odds just like 60/40 when going for gender?
But the latest big study that said it was actually better to go for it right away than to wait was looking at older women (over 40) & maybe they all had fertility issues to begin with...anyway, I wasn't convinced that the data said what the authors said it did; there were too many confounding variables.
Did your doctor say when you could try again? I'm not sure about a D&E, I think I've heard 3 months. As someone suggested though, I'm not sure the reason behind that is totally necessary. With a "regular" miscarriage (passed naturally) I was told by a midwife that whenever you are emotionally ready is fine. So if you don't have any concerns about actually getting pregnant right now I would just keep on doing what you are doing. After talking to your dh of course.
AFM: I am on CD12 and gearing up for O. This is my first cycle post miscarriage. Oddly enough, I am having more fertile CM than I've had in a while! At least more amounts of the same kind. My temps have also been going strangely low this month. Most of us seem to be at about the same point in our cycles. http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/2be681 |
I have no idea. I haven't seen any stats on that, unless you are talking strictly Shettles. I can't remember the specific #s but there were 3 different studies with 3 different outcomes. I think one had a pretty high rate of gender success but there were major questions about the validity of the study.
Well, that would be me, wouldn't it? Is that what people are referring to when they say there's a higher chance of conception right after a m/c? I have seen that idea thrown around but have never seen any studies or reasons to back it up. Carrie ~ Definitely a baby, boy or girl, is more important to me at this point than a girl. I guess I also don't really put a lot of stock in the gender selection methods. I think it's fun/interesting to try as long as it isn't dangerous or detrimental to conceiving in general. That's why I won't do the extreme girl sway stuff. |
my other guess, would be that your body geared up to O, and then backed off. You just can't be sure yet w/o seeing more temps.
MW-- does your PCOS have anything to do with your repeat miscarriages? Have the Dr's looked into that being the cause?
I know this post is long but I've got another question. Shannon, your expertise please , and anyone else who knows or has an idea or opinion.
I got my first + opk with FMU today. I tested twice yesterday, once with FMU and once in the afternoon, and both were dark, almost there but still negative. I had 2 days of copious ewcf. Today my CF has been scant and sticky. My temp is tricky. I woke at 4:20 so took my temp and it was 97.3. I stayed in bed and dozed off and on but never really got back to a deep sleep. I took my temp again at 6:35 and it was 97.7. If I adjusted it from the 4:20 temp, it would have been 97.8. Except for 2 other unusually high temps, both also 97.7, my temps have been 97.3. That would mean today's temp is way above most of my previous temps. So, now to my question... Do you think it's possible I Oed before I got the + opk? Maybe I Oed overnight. If I didn't O but my peak day was yesterday and my CF has since dried up, is it very likely that I could still get pg? |
I'm currently in an awkward place at work... I'm one month onto the job, already a little bit worried about having to tell them eventually (hopefully soon) about my own pregnancy. And twice now I've caught a coworker googling pregnancy, obviously her own, at work. And no one else seems to know, and she doesn't know that I've noticed. And then on top of it, she was super sick yesterday, and if her googling was any indication, is spotting now. She's only 7 weeks. Ugh. It's such an awful situation. |
I think the "whatever" thing to do, would be put the information in, and then close the chart, and think about what you -feel- like doing. You mentioned it seeming like forever since you've dtd, so tell yourself not to stress about it, and just go have fun. You won't be able to tell anything until after anyways, and this way, you don't have to worry about making a decision about boy/girl too soon/just right, etc. You're just enjoying your husband, and whatever happens, happens. There's plenty of time next week to wonder and calculate once you've confirmed ovulation.

RE: Everyone else in the freaking world having babies but us: Way back when before we were married DH and I believe we had an early loss that I was very very attached to (or at least attached to the idea of, I guess). Almost a year later, I found out that a very good friend of mine from high school had had a baby on what would have been my exact due date. I essentially had a meltdown. I just couldn't deal with the fact that she 'had my baby'. It doesn't seem fair. |

Exactly the same problem with us. We used to spend between $300-$500 dollars a day with Yahoo! using the Panama System. This Monday the 25th the transition was completed, and Tuesday morning we were spending half of our normal amounts. Then downward through the week.
BOTH of our accounts have ZERO traffic Friday morning. Both accounts are "Premium Accounts" so we have a "special manager" who was ALSO OFF WORK FRIDAY!
So here we sit willing to spend up to $30,000 a month with them and they leave us high and dry for 3 days. We have lost thousands of dollars in revenue.

Collection: What is the weirdest thing you have ever eaten?
Well, once when I was a kid, I was riding in the backseat of the car with all the windows down. I'm not sure what kind of bug it was but it hit the back of my throat like a gunshot.
Probably not what you were looking for, eh? ~;^)
Hmm...yes, why not? I mean...in some way you have eaten the bug. :)
My younger brother was known to eat just about anything for some money when he was 10-14. Once it was half a dog biscuit found lodged behind a bus seat, covered in hair. Another time it was a mix of a little bit of nearly everything in the kitchen, blended together into a thick drink. It was BLACK and murky (we added every spice, every sauce, every condiment, etc.). The strangest things I ate were probably when I was in China, but then I couldn't tell you what it was because I never knew. It's probably better that way.

Top Food & Beverage Companies / Kellogg Company
Location as irony -- Battle Creek, Michigan-based Kellogg Company is in a constant battle for the #1 spot in the US cereal market with its main rival, General Mills. (General Mills' fiscal 2010 sales totaled about $14.8 billion, compared to Kellogg's second place $12.4 billion.) But Kellogg boasts many a familiar brand name, including Kellogg's Corn Flakes, Frosted Flakes, Corn Pops, and Rice Krispies. And while the company fills many a cereal bowl every morning, it puffs up its bottom line with snacks and cookies (Keebler, Cheez-It, and Famous Amos), along with convenience foods such as Eggo waffles and Nutri-Grain and Bear Naked cereal bars. Its products are sold in more than 180 countries worldwide.
The last two years haven't been Gr-r-reat! ones for Kellogg, which saw sales decline by about 2% in 2009, followed by a 1.4% drop in 2010. Kellogg's sales declined in North America, Europe, and Latin America, while sales in Asia/Pacific rose about 12%. The company blamed the year's weak performance on a lack of innovation (new and improved products), supply chain problems in its waffle business, a recall of select packages of its breakfast cereals, and price deflation for some of its products. Kellogg's snack food segment posted a modest 1% gain, driven by Pop-Tarts and better sales of more wholesome snacks.
To further enhance its global snacks business, Kellogg agreed to acquire Procter & Gamble's Pringles canned chip business in early 2012 for some $2.7 billion in cash. If completed, the deal would make Kellogg the second largest snack food company behind PepsiCo. Pringles boasts more than $1.5 billion in sales in 140 countries and manufacturing operations in Asia, Europe, and the US. It's a strategic fit as the global snacks market is showing growth in both developed and emerging regions.
Kellogg is also looking for continued growth from its vegetarian business, particularly its Morningstar Farms and Worthington Foods brands of meat alternatives. The veggie business has performed well as consumers look for healthier foods.
Kellogg's largest customer is Wal-Mart, which accounted for about a fifth of its consolidated net sales in 2010. (Wal-Mart also had a tepid year in the US in 2010, which probably didn't help the cereal maker's business.) Kellogg's top five customers, including Wal-Mart, accounted for 34% of its revenue. The company's dependence on just a few companies makes it vulnerable to the loss of or weakness at any one of these retailers. It's also vulnerable to competition from lower-priced private-label cereal brands, which consumers flocked to during the deep recession in the US.
Kellogg manufactures its products in 18 countries. Kellogg's international business focuses almost exclusively on the cereal and wholesome snacks.
The private charity the W. K. Kellogg Foundation owns about 23% of the company.

iPhone triples Android in mobile market share
The battle between Apple and Google in the mobile space has been heating up lately, but new market share numbers from research firm Nielsen show the race isn't even close.
According to a report released late Friday that compares the fourth quarter of 2009 and the first quarter of 2010, Apple's iPhone OS has more than triple the market share Google's Android operating system has. Nielsen puts the iPhone OS market share at 28 percent, while Android's is at 9 percent.
The numbers put Apple in second place behind BlackBerry maker Research In Motion, which has … Read more

A campus police officer has been placed on paid administrative leave after reportedly killing an unarmed college student during an off-campus traffic stop.
Ostensibly concerned that terrorists would disguise themselves as gamers in order to secretly communicate, agents from the NSA, CIA, Pentagon and Britain's GCHQ have posed undercover in online realms like World of Warcraft, Second Life, and Xbox Live. In fact, the practice grew so popular with the spy agencies that a special "deconfliction" group was established to prevent the agents from inadvertently spying on or trying to recruit each other.

What Makes a Great UX Practitioner?
We're currently growing our User Experience team at OpenRoad. This is always an exciting process as it's great to see the different perspectives that each potential candidate brings. One of our favourite interview questions is "What makes a great UX practitioner?" The responses are as varied as the candidates themselves.
There are many different UX programs at local schools and no end of great books and websites that focus on the skills that people working in user experience need. Websites and higher education can teach people how to create wireframes, design an IA, and conduct a usability study. These foundational elements are important, but we feel that to really achieve success there are other "soft" skills that help define great UX people.
Empathy for the user. Good UX people are able to understand the pain that users feel when using systems, and why those pain points exist. They uncover people's motivations and goals. Good UX people want to solve these problems. The solutions that are then provided address those pain points.
Outgoing nature
Not all users are the same – good UX practitioners can extract requirements from people in a natural manner. The best observational research and interviews happen when the people don't know they are being observed or interviewed. A good UX practitioner is able to put people at ease, not be intimidating and be natural.
Advocate for the user
UX team members are the voice of the user back in the office. This means working with business, technical and visual design team members to help collectively design features that balance the needs of all stakeholders. Being able to communicate the true user need in a concise manner is important to ensure the user needs are not forgotten. Sometimes this means pushing back on ideas, and often it means getting creative to come up with solutions that balance many different requirements. The key role of the UX person is to ensure that the overall solution has not lost sight of the user problem that it was meant to solve.
If you've got these skills, we'd love to talk to you!
Bryan Robertson achieves Certified Web Analyst (CWA) designation
The web analytics practice involves more than reporting on what happened, it's about distilling valuable insights and turning them into strategic action plans. The Certified Web Analyst (CWA) program seeks to recognize these forward-thinking analysts, with a standardized professional designation.
We are proud to announce that Bryan Robertson, our Analytics and Performance Measurement Practice Lead, is now one of 136 Certified Web Analysts worldwide and one of only three in Vancouver, BC.
Launched in 2010 by the Digital Analytics Association, the Certified Web Analyst designation is relatively new. Candidates must meet education and industry experience thresholds before applying to write the exam, which has only 50% pass rate. Equipped with over 16 years of experience in the internet industry, and a B.A. in Communications, Bryan recently wrote his exam on the Microsoft campus, in Redmond, WA.
Following his exam, Bryan took in the Seattle Predictive Analytics Symposium. Featuring keynote speakers from Microsoft and Adobe, and a theme of "Moving up from Reporting", the symposium sought to move beyond simple storytelling, and accurately predict "how" and "what's next". Key areas of discussion included predictive marketing, media-mix modeling, real-time reporting, segmentation and data visualization.
Congratulations, Bryan!

The User Experience of NN/Group's Usability Week
We sent Jennifer Weng and Amanda Bremner to NN/Group's Usability Week recently. How usable was usability week? Let's find out…
As UX Designers, we are naturally attuned to identify usability wins and fails, along with their sources. These are by no means limited to our digital experiences, but apply to our real-world experiences as well. Our recent adventures to the Nielsen Norman Group Usability Week, a week-long workshop style conference held across the world several times throughout the year, provided some great examples of good usability and service design (I mean, they DO research and practice usability!), but also some insight into areas for improvement. Let's see how a usability conference fared in its usability!

Together they created a program to allow consumers to take coupon codes from marked Slim Jim products and redeem them for instant win sweepstakes and EA "in-game" prizes.
The "Every Code Wins" promotion provides consumers with the ability to receive digital content available for redemption within EA games. The game titles for this 18-month program include Origin store discounts, NFS Most Wanted, MOH Warfighter, and DeadSpace 3. 142 million unique product coupon codes were created and sent for packaging and are now shipping to retail outlets throughout the USA.
As the technical implementation vendor chosen to architect, build, and test the EA Portal application, OpenRoad coordinated a wide range of parties in making Every Code Wins a reality.
Working closely with the talented folks at Tris3ct and promotions.com, OpenRoad developed and iterated on the initial user flows, provided the site IA and Wireframes for both desktop and mobile versions, designed and implemented a new technology platform, elicited and constructed a custom KPI reporting dashboard and then built, tested and deployed the application.
OpenRoad was also tasked with load test planning and execution to meet EA's high availability 4SPR standards as well as passing Red Team security compliance for EA user account integration. The site will handle upwards of 300,000 redemptions per day and can be scaled to accommodate peak loads at game launch. Over the next 18 months OpenRoad will be managing 3rd party codes that grant the user in game content.
One of the main project challenges overcome was coordination between all the team members, suppliers, and vendors. With over 20 parties involved, project management and constant communication was key to the successful launch of this project.
"With a 241 percent increase in U.S. gamers between 2008 and 2011 , we know that gaming is huge, especially among Slim Jim fans," said Daniel Marple, brand director, ConAgra Foods. "Gaming and Slim Jim already go hand in hand, so partnering with EA not only gives players more of their favorite snack but also delivers on what gamers want most – exclusive access that enhances their experience and gives them an edge over their competition."

OpenRoad bridges the user experience gap of traditional tolling websites
Download the full case study PDF for more details! (1.7MB)
The Port Mann Bridge / Highway 1 Project is the largest transportation infrastructure initiative in British Columbia's history. OpenRoad is proud to announce our prime contractor role in the launch of the Port Mann Highway 1 Bridge Tolling website www.treo.ca.
About the Project:
As the lead digital vendor for the Transportation Investment Corporation we provided the strategy, user experience design, software development and implementation in an electronic tolling system roll-out from global tolling infrastructure provider CS-America.
Road tolling, while commonly used to pay for highway and road infrastructure throughout the world, is relatively new to the metro Vancouver region, and as such, many citizens have never driven on a toll highway or across a tolled bridge. With new RFID-based technology, open road tolling (yes, we found the name somewhat ironic) allows for the collection of tolls without the use of toll booths.
The electronic registration to set up a tolling account with the toll operator, request an RFID tag, and then manage your tolling transactions and account through the Web has typically been delivered by the same large engineering and infrastructure providers who provide the tolling hardware and RFID recognition software.
The Challenge:
Unfortunately, the user experience of these web-based tolling account systems is typically lack-luster. In a comparative review of tolling websites from around the world, many were found to be confusing, time consuming and frustrating to use, making a somewhat undesirable mandatory task (paying a toll) even more painful.
Given the increased channel preference of the web and combined with the lack of a toll booth or any person or physical interaction with the tolls while driving, the realization was clear: for many, the experience of the website will be the experience of the tolling service.
The Results:
OpenRoad created a customized solution for the website and mobile interfaces that significantly exceeded registration targets. We believe the TReO service to be a great example of how the public sector can innovate by providing a compelling and highly usable service experience, while at the same time meeting their goals of reducing channel costs and coordinating large amounts of transactions with citizens.
- Phase 1: The first phase of the TReO tolling site launched on September 12, 2012. Within 1 month of launch, TI Corporation reported that over 100,000 decal registrations had been processed.
- Phase 2: TI Corp had set an original goal of 250,000 registrations by November 30, 2012 with a 60% online self-service rate. Working with OpenRoad, they were able to achieve 550,000 registrations by the November target date with an impressive 80% of these registrations taking place online
- 1 Year After Launch: As of the IBTTA's 81st Annual Meeting in Vancouver in September 2013, the one year anniversary of the registration period commencing, over 1.4M decals were in circulation; 1.1M local vehicles and 300,000 out-of-province and rental fleet. 80% of daily commutes over the bridge are made by registered TReO customers, and of those drivers, 90% have provided TI Corp with a form of pre-authorized credit or debit information.
OpenRoad, in partnership with the TI Corp, were also selected as the winners of the 2013 BCTIA Adoption of Technology Award for innovating in the BC technology sector and developing a solution that significantly improved the productivity, competitiveness, or profitability of the customers company.

Converting Your Website to Responsive Design – Part III
In the first of our series Converting your Website to Responsive Design: Part 1, we examined how modifying your existing site to use a Responsive Design can be a more suitable way to "go mobile" rather than create a separate mobile-only version.
Last time, in Converting your Website to Responsive Part 2, we examined how to convert your existing code to use the responsive front-end framework Foundation.
Today in Part 3, we'll focus on becoming responsive, optimizing that code for display on a variety of browser and mobile screen widths.
Part 1: choosing a Framework and deciding on an implementation path.
Part 2: converting your code to use Foundation framework.
Part 4: development tips and tools.
Step 4: Becoming Responsive
Once you've implemented the Foundation framework, your site has already become responsive! By default, Foundation's grid system collapses to stack all columns on top of each other on small mobile devices and small screen widths. If you used the Foundation navigation or tab components, these will also collapse to a mobile view.
You can test this yourself even without a mobile device by using your web browser and resizing the window to a mobile-like width.
If we take a look at our newly responsive site viewed on an iPhone in the landscape mode, we'll see it now looks like this:

Converting Your Website to Responsive Design – Part II
This post is Part II at our look at converting your website to use Responsive Design. In the previous post on Converting your Website to Responsive Design Part 1, we examined how modifying your existing site to use a Responsive Design can be a more suitable way to "go mobile" rather than create a separate mobile-only version. We also investigated how to choose a front-end web framework for your Responsive Design, and we looked at the pros and cons of updating existing code versus starting from scratch.
Today we'll look at the process of how to convert your existing website to use ZURB's responsive front-end framework Foundation.

Battle Of The Gold Royalty Companies: Part II [View article]
I talk with management every 4-6 weeks and have for sometime as well as seeing them at most every conference throughout the year. The big deal for 2014, at least from what I have gathered by talking to both management teams for a few years now, will (likely) be a 25% +/- 5% stream on Bear Creeks Corani Project. This would be an ideal fit into SLW's portfolio as "basic cash costs" per oz will be below $0/oz. for the first 5 years and under $4/oz. thereafter. As you know, selling a stream causes all in costs to rise, at least from where it would be otherwise, so given the low cost profile of the asset, acquiring say a 25% stream will not be a determining factor of whether the project is economical or not. In other words, Corani would fall on the lowest quartile on the cost curve. There is tremendous upside at Corani in terms of mine life and/or increasing capacity. Corani already has a whopping 260m oz. Ag of 2p reserves and >135m oz. of additional silver resource. Though this is just personal opinion, I think when all is said and done, Corani will sport a reserve base between 350m-450m oz Ag (meaning that the reserve base + all the oz. which have been mined). The current mine plan forecasts production of 13.4m oz. Ag for the first 5 years, followed by 8m oz. Ag for another 15-25. I have a feeling that SLW will only require an IRR of above 10%-15% at current spot prices given the long term fundamentals of silver as well as potential upside at Corani. So I will venture to guess that if a deal is struck, Silver Wheaton would make roughly a $300m payment, but spread out similar to Constancia in that SLW would make an upfront payment, then 2 more milestone payments as Bear Creek spends more than x and x+y on the project. Reason being is that the PEA for Corani states of $574m capital investment, which should really be looked at as $650-$700m. This will undoubtedly also involve SLW transferring its 14.4% stake in the company back to bear creek where it can be retired and reissued at some point in the future. At current prices, this would equate to $25-$30m. So assuming SLW makes an agreement for a 25% stream for $300m, Bear Creek will also have to raise somewhere around 350-$400m. The bright side to this is that in almost every instance ive witnessed, any smaller company which announces it will fund a material portion of its cap-ex with stream financing has run up the day of and continue to run for the 2 weeks following. Furthermore, Peru's government has stated and shown signs it wants to become more mining friendly and there is a reasonable chance Bear Creek gets Santa Ana back in 2014. That news combined with a streaming agreement being announced, could easily result in the stock running to $4-$5/share. Basic shares outstanding (net of SLW transferring its stake to BCM), will then be 80-82m shares outstanding. BCM could then issue 80m shares or so at $4/share, would raise $320m, bringing total capital available to $620m. At that point BCM could then obtain a credit facility between of roughly $50m.
I don't think there will too many early deposit financing's as one would think (as its definitely better than buying an equity stake) at least on the silver side because as you know, most primary silver and base metal mines (which can remain economic in all price environments with 25-100% of the silver streamed) are typically developed/operated by more established companies, which don't need the menial upfront financing. That't not to say, there aren't several out there, rather SLW will have to be careful in making these deals. I do think there are a lot more available on the gold side but Silver Wheaton has gotten to the point where gold will make up too big a portion of total revenue come 2016.
Lastly, I hope SLW doesn't convert any other asset in its ROFR portfolio regarding Rock Creek, Montanore because there are better assets out there which don't have the permitting issues these do. I don't think there is a chance in hell Sabina sells a stream on hackett river as costs Glencore incurs will be fully carried and be paid from Sabinas silver royalty. -

Battle Of The Gold Royalty Companies: Part II [View article]
I talk with Sandstorm mgmt roughly once every two weeks since I began writing about them (not on SA) just after it IPO'd and early on in SA. I also see and either just shoot the shit with them and/or get a drink at most every resource show (since I usually have to be on a panel or at least be at our booth). I recently talked with them late last week and although they can;t give me specific information, they do have different reactions to any question I ask them and that has told me (for the most part) whats happening with current and/or streaming acquisitions currently being negotiated.
To your question, yes, I think Colossus will need an additional 25-40m +/-. Sandstorm "suggested" while it does expect the mine to inevitably reach production, the timeline has been pushed back. I don't see any chance of Serre Pelada reaching production this year and a more likely scenario would be to reach first gold production in Q2 or so. This also means that PGM production will more than likely either start late in Q4 2014-1H 2015.
I do expect Serra Pelada hosts in excess of 2m oz., but that number, at least in my opinion is fair. As you probably well know, several other areas such as the Elephante Zone is showing the potential for a good amount of exploration upside. Personally, for Sandstorm Gold, i'm modeling a 9-year mine life, with year 1 producing roughly 140-150k oz. as it will need time to ramp up. Based on all the information released by the company, when the mine is operating at initial design capacity, Im projecting 200-220k oz. Au, 25-33k oz. Platinum and 32-38k oz. Palladium. Assuming the mid-points of these forecasts are correct, Sandstorm would increase attributable production by 3,150 oz. Au and roughly 10k oz. Pt. The great thing on the platinum side, is the on-going cost/oz. of $200.
Due to the grade variability among other things, it isn't easy to compile a 43-101 for the property and the one that will be released, at least initially will only make up roughly 12-18 months of reserves/resources. The purpose of putting that out is to get a better understanding of what the average grades will be, but like I said there is significant grade variability.
Although Sandstorm has told me it would be interested in increasing its gold stream to 5-7.5% and elimination of the buy-back clauses, it has changed its tune, now saying that they see much more accretive deals in the market now and would only be willling to increase its gold stream/eliminate buy back clauses if were on extremely generous terms.
I have always tried to figure out Sandstorm;s next stream (excluding the Premier and Entree deal) with good accuracy and i think I have narrowed its next one down to 2 different streams, both of which would be very accretive and represent its next cornerstone asset and also taking the spotlight off Aurizona to some degree. I will say one is in South America and one is in Canada. I could obviously be wrong, but I can say with a good degree of certainty something is being negotiated, however, the time two companies spend negotiated streaming deals can vary greatly. Personally, I suspect Sandstorm to make 2 decent size deals, the first within 4 months, the next very close to or within 6 months following the April expiration of its warrants, boosting its capital position by $42m. I also think 1-2 of the following will be negotiated into a stream from NSR's it holds (Mt. Hamilton, PC or Coringa). Hope this was of any help. -
Why I'm Expecting A Record Quarter From Sandstorm Gold [View article]
Why I'm Expecting A Record Quarter From Sandstorm Gold [View article]
I got similar production number @ 12,665 oz. @ an average cost per oz. of $377/oz. I got OCF of just under $10m using a $1,300 average realized gold price. I;m sure there were additional costs to close the Premier acquisition. I;ve talked to some certain individuals and Sandstorm has already acquired at least 1 more NSR in Q3 and now have a good idea of what;s to come of the streaming front. It is highly unlikely Sandstorm Gold will make any sizeable deals in the year ahead as they have been looking at deals in the $30 - $65m range. That has been where they;ve added the most value, notably in Aurizona and Bachelor Lake (which is will reach initial design capacity by year end, followed by a 50% mill expansion for just a few mil in capital costs, which is forecast to reach increased design capacity by Q2-Q3 2015 at 80-85k oz. Sandstorm Gold should have ended the quarter with roughly 89-92m of cash on hand following the 7.4m remaining payment to Luna for the expansion and a $10m loan to Luna. Sandstorm should also has roughly $13m-$14m in long term investments. -

But to your questions, you really need to look at Q1 because Q2 had some one time events and charges. The mill was shutdown from May 12th to May 31st, which although it doesn't seem like it would make a material impact, everything needs to keep running. Also, included in Direct operating costs according to AISC is a write-down of inventories, which in reality doesn't need to be written down because the realized sales price when the inventories are sold will be accounted for in lower revenue.
I think the Q3 results, which should be out in a month or so, will show the all-in-costs I mentioned, more or less. If you look At Q1 all in costs and factor in both the cost cutting measures and the fact production is reaching initial design capacity (thus reducing basic cash costs per oz,), you should be able to see a much clearer picture. -
Precious Metal Streamers Analyst Watch: October Edition [View article]
Luna/Aurizona - Luna has all undertaken cost cutting measures. Currently, all in costs are running at roughly $1,050-$1,100, but this will drop to approx. $950-$975/oz. once the phase I expansion is complete. this will be due to capital costs decreasing ( it is very difficult at this time to differentiate between expansionary and sustaining capital at Aurizona), as well as its basic cash costs - (extraction, processing, labor, transport) being reduced as these will be spread across more ounces. For example, for 2013, these costs are or will be spread over roughly 80-85k oz., while in 2014, these costs will be spread over 125-130k oz.
St. Elena/Silvercrest - One of the lowest cost silver producers (St. Elena is Au and Ag), so it is doing a great job operationally.
Black Fox/Brigus - A few years ago costs were running substantially higher, with all in at roughly $1,250-$1,300 oz. This began to change last year as costs slowly declined but this accelerated each quarter up to the most recent. For 2013, all in costs are on pace for all in costs of roughly $975-$1,000/oz., decreasing to $950 or under in 2014 and beyond.
Bachelor Lake - for the month of August, word has been it reached positive cash flow. I have no hard data, but I would venture to guess that all in costs came in between $1,150-$1,250. Costs, nonetheless will decrease as it processes higher grade ore and continues its ramp up to initial design capacity. Again, i have no hard data to support so this is entirely subjective but in 2014, I could easily see this mine having all in costs of $950-$1,000 due to the type of mine and avg Au grade. In 2H 2014, Metanor will expand its mill capacity by 50% as it will require a very minimal capital investment. This is projected to be complete in Q1 2015, which will increase production by 50% and spread "basic cash costs" over more oz.
Serra Pelada - Based my personal estimate of the avg Au and PGM grades combined with 3 different analyst estimates, all in costs in 2014 (1,000 tpd projected to reach capacity by end of Q1-early Q2, and the flotation circuit to be running in mid-late Q3) should come in between $750-$850/oz. (net of pgm byproduct credits), falling to $450-$500/oz. in 2015.
instead of going on, these will comprise the majority of production. -
Precious Metal Streamers Analyst Watch: October Edition [View article]
late 08-early 2010 deals
Sandstorm Gold:
Aurizona: paying $17m and roughly $3-$5m in stock for what will provide Sandstorm with over 21k oz. Au in 2014 and by 2016 or 2017 complete the phase II expansion, doubling attributable production to Sandstorm at 42k-54k oz. Au for a minimum of 8 years.
Silver Wheaton:
Acquired Silverstone Resources and in 2H 2009 acquired the Pascua-Lama stream for $625, of which roughly 50% of the initial investment has been returned by the 3 smaller mines which will provide SLW with 2.6m oz. Ag until the end of 2015, followed by the startup of Pascua-Lama in late 2016-early 2017.
Royal Gold- Paid just $100m for a 75% stream until 910k payable oz.'s have been received on Tech's Andacollo mine, providing roughly 40-45k oz. annually for roughly 20 yrs at NO on-going cost per ounce. Rgld also acquired its second cornerstone asset by acquiring a NSR 3x the size on the initial one held by RGLD on Pascua-Lama. In other words, this period allowed RGLD to acquire 2 of its 3 cornerstone assets as well as a few tier II assets for just $325m.
Franco-Nevada - Acquired Palmarejo stream equal to 50% of the gold produced on the property for $80m. Avg annual production is roughly 60k oz. /yr @ $400/oz. Franco also had acquired 2 healthy size royalties and after having bid for IRC, only to be one upped by RGLD, franco acquired the option to acquire a 22% on the new prosperity project for $300, which is a long life mine and would provide Franco with an avg of 66k Au annually for $400/oz. A final decision on New Prosperity permitting will be made by the end of Jan 14'. -

Battle Of The Gold Royalty Companies: Part II [View article]
In any event, I think 2014 will be very exciting on the deal front for SLW, SAND, RGLD and FNV to a lesser degree (because although it reports having $1.4B in capacity, has not remitted any money of the $1B for Cobre-Panama and the fact that a final decision on New Prosperity will be made on or before the last week of January. So if it permitted, Franco will have to remit at least $300m, more if Taseko and Franco renegotiate the terms upwards, in that Taseko would want a large upfront payment via increasing the stream to say 30% from 22%. -

Definition of adverse in English
late Middle English: from Old French advers, from Latin adversus 'against, opposite', past participle of advertere, from ad- 'to' + vertere 'to turn'. Compare with averse
The two words adverse and averse are related in origin but they do not have the same meaning. Adverse means 'unfavourable or harmful' and is normally used of conditions and effects rather than people, as in adverse weather conditions. Averse, on the other hand, is used of people, nearly always with to, and means 'having a strong dislike or opposition to something', as in I am not averse to helping out. A common error is to use adverse instead of averse, as in he is not adverse to making a profit.

I wrote you about Martha Jane Hightower Brown in Walton Co Ga (Brown Cemetery)
I have now done the research-and still think I have the right people. I did all the Census for 1900 for George-since both were alive then- and all the others in Walton were much younger-4 or 5. The last census he was in-I don't know who gave the information, but dtr Martha was still with them-Still single. And someone gave his age as 77 instead of born Jan 1823 instead of 1840-following with all census- he was born 1840-all others that is. I don't know who did the stone-but I still think it is wrong.

Gael Elliston
Thomas E. Buttrill
Hi Judy:
My name is Gael Elinor Buttrill Elliston, and I am the daughter of Carrol O. Buttrill who was one of the authors of the Buttrill family book. I am trying to place Thomas back in "England" where he was born in 1743. I found a note from someone that stated that through family lore, he arrived in the US in 1775 which means there should be some record of him in England. However, when I Google him and go to the records sites, I cannot find him or his parents or where he may have been born. Do you have any information on him?
Thank you very much. Gael

In his college days, Sudbury native John Desormeaux was only 56, but that never deterred him from pursuing his love of basketball. His hard work and dedication paid off as Desormeaux enjoyed a successful OCAA career, suiting up with both the Canadore Panthers and Cambrian Golden Shield.
For the last 23 years, hes tried to pass on those same personal traits he showed in his playing days as a coach at various levels of local competition. Currently, he is focused on his Junior Vees Basketball program. I think were going to win a few medals at the provincials with some of our teams, says the basketball lover. Our midget boys are very strong, so we have a good chance to win the gold, and our bantam girls are very strong as well.
The Junior Vees program, which started back in 2003, is both a developmental and competitive basketball program for boys and girls between the ages of 11 and 16. There are 150 athletes involved at the developmental stage and 40 at the competitive level. Since the club has only operated for three years, Desormeaux feels its still at the grassroots stage but he is happy with the development to date and has clear goals in mind.
The long term goal would be to see our boys and girls play for the Voyageurs and the Lady Vees - thats why we call them Junior Vees, he explains. The short-term goal is to see them develop their skills. He expects the Junior Vees to compete at the Ontario Championships in the spring, as well as four tournaments this year, including Burlington in November, Waterloo in December as well as Hamilton and possibly Mississauga.
No matter the final results, the coach expects to have a very satisfying season. I just love the game, he says. I like to see the kids grow, develop, and succeed through what Im teaching them. Desormeaux is not only involved with the Vees, but he has also worked closely with the ontario CanStars provincial program for the past six years.
The program includes players from across Ontario competing in tournaments both in Canada and the United States. He has enjoyed plenty of success with the program, winning tournaments in Toledo, Connecticut, Michigan and Minnesota. One of the programs Grade 6 girls team also won a bronze medal at the nationals this past summer.
Furthermore, Desormeaux has also coached numerous high school teams over the years and started his own juvenile club team for 16-year-old female basketball players in the 1990s known as the Lady Rattlers. Although the team no longer exists, they captured the Ontario Championship with a Bantam Girls team in 1997 as well as a silver medal at the Ontario Championship in 2000.
Even with all this success and involvement in basketball, Desormeaux has not lost his dedication and passion for the sport. I continue to enjoy seeing the kids grow and seeing them succeed through their understanding of the game and the development of their skills, he says. My main objective is to see young players develop in the community through grassroots basketball and to eventually see them have success at the high school and university level.

In a speech made in 1863, Abraham Lincoln said, "We have been the receipients of the choicest bounties of heaven; we have been preserved these many years in peace and prospertiy; we have grown in numbers, wealth, and power as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us, and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us."
World War II had ended. On September 2, 1945 General Douglas MacArthur spoke to the world from the Battleship Missouri anchored in Tokyo Bay, "Today the guns are silent...the skies no longer rain death...the seas bear only commerce...men everywhere walk upright in the sunlight. The entire world is quietly at peace...."
That long war cost sixty million lives, and an estimated $1 trillion. It came only one generation after what President Woodrow Wilson called "the war to end all wars."
Since World War II - Korea - Viet Nam, Iraq twice, not to speak of limited wars, political assassinations, personal revolts, rebellions and social revolutions.

Lee, a reporter for the Chicago Tribune and a self-professed atheist was sitting at his desk on Christmas Eve. A slow news day he found himself reminiscing about the Delgado family that he had featured while writing a series of articles about Chicago's neediest people a few days earlier. The Delgado's were comprised of a grandmother named Perfecta and her two granddaughters, Jenny age 13 and her sister Lydia 11 years old.
He remembered how unprepared he was when he walked into their two room apartment on the west side of Chicago for the interview; bare halls and bare walls, no furniture, no rugs, nothing but a kitchen table and a handful of rice in the cupboards. He learned during the interview that Jenny and Lydia only had one short-sleeved dress apiece, plus a thin gray sweater that they shared. On cold days when the girls walked the half-mile to school, one of the girls would start with the sweater and then give it to the other at the halfway mark. It was all they had. Perfecta wanted more for her granddaughters and would gladly have worked, but her severe arthritis and age made work too difficult and painful.
Since it was a slow news day Lee decided to check out a car and drive to Chicago's west side to check up on the Delgado's. When Jenny opened the door he couldn't believe what he saw! His article on the Delgado's had touched the hearts of many subscribers who responded with furniture and appliances, rugs, dozens of coats, scarves and gloves. The girls wouldn't have to share a sweater any longer. There was cartons and cartons and boxes of food everywhere. They had so much food that the cupboards and closets couldn't contain it. Someone had even donated a Christmas tree, and under it were mounds of presents and thousands of dollars in cash!
Lee was astonished! But what astonished him the most was what he found Perfecta and her granddaughters doing. They were preparing to give most of it away. "Why would you give so much of this away?" Lee asked. Perfecta responded, "Our neighbors are still in need. We cannot have plenty while they have nothing. This is what Jesus would want us to do." Lee was dumbfounded.
After regaining his composure he asked Perfecta another question. He wanted to know what she and the girls thought about the generosity that was shown to them. Again, Lee was not prepared for the answer. She said, "This is wonderful, this is very good." "We did nothing to deserve this; it's all a gift from God. But," she added, "It is not his greatest gift, Lee. No, we celebrate that tomorrow. Jesus."
Lee was speechless as he drove back to the office. In the quiet of his car he noted a couple of observations. He had plenty and along with it plenty of anxiety, while the Delgado's despite their poverty had peace. Lee had everything and yet wanted more, but the Delgado's had nothing and yet knew generosity. Lee had everything and yet his life was as bare as the Delgado's apartment prior to the article running. And yet the Delgado's who had nothing were filled with hope, contentment and had a spiritual certainty. Even though Lee had so much more than the Delgado's, he longed for what they had in their poverty.
(From a sermon by Bryan Fink "Christmas is for all the Lees/Leighs of the World" 12/25/2008)
Several years ago in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, George and Vera Bajenksi's lives were changed forever. February 16, 1989. A very normal Thursday morning. The phone rang at 9:15 a.m. "There's been an accident..." It involved their son Ben.
As they approached the intersection of Adelaide and Simcoe Streets near the high school, they could see the flashing lights of the police cars and ambulance units. Vera noticed a photographer and followed the direction of his camera lens to the largest pool of blood she had ever seen.
All she could say was, "George, Ben went home--home to be with his Heavenly Father!" Her first reaction was to jump out of the car, somehow collect the blood and put it back into her son. "That blood, for me, at that moment, became the most precious thing in the world because it was life. It was life-giving blood and it belonged in my son, my only son, the one I loved so much."
The road was dirty and the blood just didn't belong there. George noticed that cars were driving right through the intersection--right through the blood. His heart was smitten. He wanted to cover the blood with his coat and cry, "You will not drive over the blood of my son!"
Then Vera understood for the first time in her life, one of God's greatest and most beautiful truths...why blood? Because it was the strongest language God could have used. It was the most precious thing He could give-- the highest price H...
In the over 3100 years of recorded world history, the world has only been at peace 8% of the time or a total of 286 years, and over 8000 treaties have been made and broken. During this period there have been 14,531 wars, large and small, in which 3,640,000,000 people have been killed.
One of the earliest and the most outstanding intellectuals, leaders and defenders of the Christian faith was Augustine, the fourth century writer of the "Confessions of Saint Augustine," one of the most famous tell-all autobiographies written. Young Augustine was a hedonist, a philosopher, an agnostic, and a rebel, but his mother Monica was a godly, persistent, and resourceful woman. Augustine often laughed at her mother's pious ways, mocked her faith, and deliberately defied her continual pleading for him to repent of his pagan lifestyle, to convert to Christ, and to live an exemplary life. When Augustine wanted to leave the shores of Carthage, North Africa, for the bright lights of Rome, his mother feared the worst for her son, dreaded the outcome of his leaving, and often fled to the church for solace, prayer, and advice. In her despair, she would often weep uncontrollably for her son. One day a minister noticed her painful cries, and asked her why she was so bitter. She told him of his wayward son, but the bishop assured her with these words: "Go in peace; as you live, it cannot be that the son of these tears should perish." Augustine avoided his mother as much as possible and ignored her warnings time and again, but he could not escape her continuous prayers. Monica painstakingly prayed, wept, and looked for her son for 30 years until Augustine surrendered his life to Christ. Life has its heartaches, and none is as heartbreaking as a rare, a stubborn, or an unspeakable illness that is dreaded for its physical onslaught, financial cost, and mental, emotional and physical toil. The Chinese saying, "Long-sick folks have no filial or obedient child by their bed."
"The greater mystery, surpassing all words, summons us to silence. It must, of course, be a silence with content, not just the absence of speech and action. We should expect the liturgy to give us a positive stillness that will restore us. Such stillness will not be just a pause, in which a thousand thoughts and desires assault us, but a time of recollection, giving us an inward peace, allowing us to draw breath and rediscover the one thing necessary, which we have forgotten."
[The Spirit of the Liturgy (San Francisco: Ignatius Press, 2000), 209.]
It was February 1941, Auschwitz, Poland. Maximilian Kolbe
was a Franciscan priest put in the infamous death camp for helping Jews escape Nazi terrorism.
Months went by and in desperation an escape took place. The camp rule was enforced. Ten people would be rounded up randomly and herded into a cell where they would die of starvation and exposure as a lesson against future escape attempts.
Names were called. A Polish Jew Frandishek Gasovnachek was called. He cried, "Wait, I have a wife and children!" Kolbe stepped forward and said, "I will take his place."
Kolbe was marched into the cell with nine others where he managed to live until August 14.
This story was chronicled on an NBC news special several years ago. Gasovnachek, by this time 82, was shown telling this story while tears streamed down his cheeks. A mobile camera followed him around his little white house to a marble monument carefully tended with flowers. The inscription read:
Every day Gaso...
"Peace has to be created, in order to be maintained. It is the product of Faith, Strength, Energy, Will, Sympathy, Justice, Imagination and the triumph of principle. It will never be achieved by passivity and quietism. Passivity and quietism are invitations to war."

Ruby Hamilton, a businesswoman in her fifties, was stunned at the loss of her husband of 32 years in a car accident. Her anger and disappointment went deeper than a more typical expression of grief though. She had become a follower of Christ in her late twenties, but her husband didn't share her newfound interest in spiritual things. Nonetheless, she had set about praying for him feverishly and unceasingly that he would come to know the Lord. And one day when she was praying, she felt a wave of peace wash over her, and that still small voice assuring her that her husband would be okay. She eagerly awaited the day when her husband surrender his life to Jesus. And now this.
What do you do when faith doesn't make sense? When God doesn't seem to be answering or opening doors or being found? Ruby Hamilton stopped living for God.
Roger Simmons was hitchhiking his way home. He would never forget the date - May 7th. His heavy suitcase was making him tired and he was anxious to take off that army uniform once and for all. Flashing the thumb to the oncoming car, he lost hope when he saw it was a black, sleek new Cadillac. To his surprise the car stopped.
The passenger door swung open. He ran toward the car, tossed his suitcase in the back and thanked the handsome, well-dressed man as he slid into the front seat. "Going home for keeps?"
"Sure am."
"Well, you're in luck if you're going to Chicago."
"Not quite that far - do you live in Chicago?"
"I have a business there, the driver said. My name is Hamilton."
They chatted for a while, and then Roger, a Christian, felt a compulsion to share his faith with this fiftyish, apparently successful business man. But he kept putting it off, till he realized that he was now just 30 minutes from his home. It was now or never.
"Mr. Hamilton, I would like to talk to you about something very important." Then he simply told Mr. Hamilton about the plan of salvation and ultimately asked him if he would like to receive Jesus as his savior and Lord.
The Cadillac pulled over to the side of the road. Roger expected that he was about to get thrown out of the car. Instead, the businessman bowed his head and received Christ, then thanked Roger "This is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me."
Five years went by. Roger married, had a couple of kids and a business of his own. Packing his suitcase for a trip to Chicago he found a small white business card that had been given to him by Hamilton five years previous. In Chicago, he looked up Hamilton enterprises. The receptionist told him that it was impossible to see Mr. Hamilton, but he could see Mrs. Hamilton. A little confused, he was ushered into a beautiful office where he found himself facing a keen-eyed woman in her fifties.
She extended her hand "You knew my husband?"
Roger told her about how Hamilton had picked him up while he was hitchhiking home after the war. "Can you tell me what day that was?"
"Sure it was May 7th, five years ago, the day I was discharged from the army."
"Anything special about that day," she asked.
He hesitated, not knowing if he should mention how he shared the message of Jesus with her husband. "Mrs. Hamilton, I explained the gospel to your husband that day. He pulled over to the side of the road and wept against the steering wheel. He gave his life to Christ that day."
Explosive sobs shook her body. Finally getting a grip on herself, she sobbed, "I had prayed for my husband's salvation for years. I believed God would save him."
"Where is your husband, Ruby?"
"He's dead. He was in a car crash after he let you out of the car. He never got home. You see, I thought God had not kept his promise. I stopped living for God five years ago because I thought God had not kept his word!"
(Considerable influence for this message came from John Piper's "The Spring of Persistent Public Love", DesiringGod.org. From a sermon by Bret Toman, Power to Live the Golden Rule, 1/3/2011)

You can use olive oil as a salad dressing, an ingredient to cook a favorite dish or as a hair treatment. Yes, a hair treatment.
Olive oil offers several health benefits for your hair. Antioxidants in olive oil can repair chemically damaged hair and can strengthen the scalp. The oil can be useful in preventing and curing hair loss by stopping production of DTH, a hormone that causes hair follicle shafts to decrease in size.
For those who have problems with dandruff, olive oil contains antibacterials that can get rid of the embarrassing problem. A mixture of lavender and olive oil gently massaged into the hair can also reduce stress caused by daily activities.
Using olive oil as an all-natural hair conditioner will leave it shiny and soft without expensive commercial hair products. Use a half-cup of olive oil mixed with a small amount of another oil, such as coconut, and massage into the scalp using the tips of your fingers, working toward the ends of the hair. After applying, cover your hair with a shower cap for 10 to 30 minutes and then shampoo as usual.

I think I beat you by a few seconds, sorry.
"I told you a million times not to exaggerate!"
Let's call it a tie .It's not a nitro Slash either,it looks more like a narrowed Revo.Originally Posted by Silver_Flame
I don't have any sound on my computer,but it would be awesome if they played "raining blood" on the intro !
As much as I'd like to call it a tie, I was first. *and the fight ensues*Originally Posted by harry697

I guess there's only one way to settle this........ROCK,PAPER,SCISSORS!!!Originally Posted by Silver_Flame
But seriously,I'm not too sure on this one just yet.Seems like an unstable version of the Revo .I guess time will tell.
It does seem like the revo's little brother. That thing is going to be a beast to drive!
"I told you a million times not to exaggerate!"
Hat's off to Traxxas for another cool new truck.But it sure does look like it's gonna be a handful.Especially since it has the Revo's 3.3 powerplant but in a smaller package.It's gonna be CRAZY!!!!!!! So,whose gonna be the first to drop a big block in this thing?
My hat is off. haha

i was looking at the exploded views of the slash and compared them to the revo ........they share a enourmous amount of parts actually the differences i saw where the internal tranmission gears are different the a arms and some turnbuckles ........basically its really easy to turn a revo into a slayer throw on some slash control arms swap out the drive shafts and some slash wheels ......oh and of course a slayer body /.......i might have missed a few parts but thats basically it ......great truck anyway
drive it like you stole it !!!!!
i plan on doing the opposite...make a wide slayer with a normal body
basicly a revo with a weight reduction

(August 31, 2012)August 30, 2012 Gold Bullion Development Corp. (TSXV: GBB) (OTCPINK: GBBFF) (the Company" or Gold Bullion") is pleased to announce additional drill results as a follow up from the Preliminary Deep Hole Preliminary Results released on July 9th, 2012.
The jurisdiction has a long history and is renowned for its culture of mining, numerous economic gold deposits and extensive infrastructure, all of which is evidenced by Quebec consistently ranking in the top five best places to mine globally.
The recent deep drill program to the north and shallow drill program to the west was intended to enlarge the mineralization envelope of the expanded LONG Bars zone. To date, two deep holes and four wedges have been completed with assays. The drill program, which commenced in the spring of 2012, was designed to step out from the known LONG Bars zone resource to the north at depth and near surface to the west. Deep drilling has expanded the mineralization by 650 metres to the north and an additional 600 metres in depth where the mineralization envelope remains wide open for expansion. Results from drilling to the west are still pending.
Highlights from the northern deep drilling including the wedges in deep holes DUP-12-02 and DUP-12-03:
- 8.18 grams per tonne gold across 1.5 metres from 1218.0 to 1219.5 meters down hole including 4.11 grams per tonne across 3.0 metres from 1218.0 to 1221.0 in hole Dup-12-03W2 -- a wedge hole drilled to provide a full cut of the mineralization envelope at depth
- 8.26 grams per tonne gold across 1.5 metres from 784.5 to 787.0 metres down hole including 4.19 grams per tonne gold across 3.0 metres from 784.5 to 787.5 metres in hole Dup-12-02W1 -- a wedge hole drilled to provide a full cut of the mineralization envelope at depth
Down hole core length is close to true thickness and uncut.
These drill results continue to confirm specific high-grade zones at depth with thickness and grade suitable for underground mining.
Additional drill results from the backlog of drilling done in 2011 and the recent shallow drilling to the west will be released shortly. These results will further expand the LONG Bars zone on strike with the full implications thereof, in terms of the expansion of the gold resource, to be released in an updated NI-43-101 expected by year-end 2012. There is a vast amount of ground yet to be systematically explored to expand the LONG Bars zone, leaving considerable upside in light of the drilling results that continue to return measurable gold mineralization in over 90% of the drill holes.

Recently I took a trip to my local Barnes & Noble bookstore for a slow cooker cookbook, which went against my newest promise to myself. I have many such promises: cut back on sugar, garden more, make a dent in my ever-growing stack of reading. The bookstore promise is a little different; my husband was in on this one.
He reminds me occasionally that we posses a robust collection of cookbooks, worthy of a card catalogue, and they are only occasionally used. The irony here is that I really like to cook, but find I hardly have the time. So in I go for one to compliment my new slow cooker, a desperate attempt to make dinner-making easier. As in, I don't even have to be there for it to be cooking. Genius! I find a great one, repleat with sufficient pictures and make my way to the cash wrap.
On my way I notice the people in the store posses an unusual contentment about them. Customers everywhere are loitering the racks and have a peaceful, even happy feeling exuding from them. These people are happy to be shopping for books. Why is this note worthy? Well, it might not be, except for that I am planning on buying my first e-reader soon, which will make trips to the bookstore another in the growing list of warm, fuzzy memories; like all my childhood '80's songs that are now considered oldies. Since I am late to this party of Kindles, iPads and Nooks, what does this mean to the future of bookstores?
Of the bookstores that were present in my community when I was growing up, only two still exits - they were all "mom and pop" stores. Heck, even the Borders in my county went belly up last year. This feels important to me because the phenomenon of e-reading will continue to grow for both necessary and sad reasons. First, if you are anything like me, you have run out of room to store more books. Our shelves are bowing under the pressure, literally. Those cookbooks are heavy - it's all the pictures. And when you take into account the paper used in books, any good eco-concious person has to listen to their inner Gore, especially in my hood.
Yet, those last hold outs I wax nostalgic with over the smell of books and the feel of turning actual vs. virtual pages, serve as reminders to the benefit of standing against the virtualization of everything. Increasingly, we are more disconnected from reality. Another irony when you consider the proliferant reality shows to remind of us of what we are actually not doing ourselves. Or that products like the iPad and Kindle FIre are praised because of how realistic they simulate human perception through high definition, etc. By the way, I used my tree-killing paper Thesaurus to look up proliferant - it's a real word.
So being that I am a therapist, I usually look for meaning in emotions, and seeing the happiness viscerally evident in that bookstore, it reminded me that this may be a dying form of happiness as the medium of paper books may wane over time, bowing to the electronification of our lives. That was totally not a word, just go with it.
