The Gold Cup
A Los Angeles cafe is the setting for this ensemble piece performed largely by a group of San Francisco stage actors. Mark (Mark Boone Jr.) is the cafe's reigning caffeine king, churning out lattes for a group of customers that includes bag lady Ma (Tsai Chin), portly Jerry (Michael McShane), widowed mathematician Jack (Jim Haynie), and on-again, off-again lovers Maria (Regina Byrd Smith) and Hank (Richmond Arquette). Another regular is Clayton (Wood Harris), a part-time delivery man who has abandoned a promising career as an artist. One day, while on his delivery rounds, Clayton discovers a strange young woman cowering in a mud puddle; stopping to help her, he learns that she has been residing there since getting dumped from a car by a callous boyfriend. After getting herself cleaned up, the woman, named Precious (Sarah Lassez), takes up with Clayton, and the two start living together. Meanwhile, back at the cafe, other unlikely romances form, Ma tosses off holy-fool wisdom, and Hank and Maria wallow in lusty indecisiveness. ~ Rebecca Flint Marx, Rovi

Animals (And The Tollkeeper)
Michael Di Jiacomo made his directorial debut with this allegory that opens with a 12-minute black-and-white prologue about three French filmmakers who encounter the tuba-playing Tollkeeper (Mickey Rooney) on a silent stretch between two ghost towns in the Utah desert. In NYC, an armed thief (John Turturro) holds up despairing cabdriver Henry (Tim Roth), who tells him to go ahead and pull the trigger. With the thief gone, Henry's next passengers are the three Frenchmen seen earlier, and he takes them into New England where he's so spellbound by the beautiful Fatima (Mili Avital) that he takes a job with her irritating mother in order to maintain his pursuit of Fatima. Shown at the 1998 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

This quirky science fiction comedy is a characteristic feature by iconoclastic director Tim Burton, known to moviegoers for Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, and The Nightmare Before Christmas. The storyline affectionately harkens back to the deadpan sincerity of such '50s and '60s science-fiction films as The Day the Earth Stood Still and War of the Worlds. Flying saucers have been reliably seen over the capitals of the world, and the whole world awaits with bated breath to see what will transpire. Among those waiting is the President of the United States (Jack Nicholson), who is assured by his science advisor (Pierce Brosnan) that the coming aliens are utterly peaceful. This advice is hotly contested by the military (led by Rod Steiger), who advices the President to annihilate them. When the aliens land, they are seen to be green, garish, and very cheerful. But appearances prove deceiving when the "friendly" aliens abruptly disintegrate the entire U.S. Congress. Hollywood notables appear in vast quantities in roles (and sub-plots) of all sizes in this zany feature. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

They say you can't miss what you never had, but one woman wants to put that idea to the test in this comedy. Kathy Whiting (Harley Jane Kozak) is a housewife and mother of two who enjoys a happy but unexciting relationship with her husband Peter (Bill Pullman), while her best friend Emily Embrey (Elizabeth McGovern) runs an art gallery and is living with a good-looking artist, Elliot Fowler (Brad Pitt). Both women feel that a sense of romantic adventure is missing from their lives, and Kathy has never been able to forget Tom Andrews (Ken Wahl), a football player that she was in love with in high school but never slept with (she was saving herself for marriage at the time). So when Kathy learns that Tom is living in Denver, and Emily will be going there on business soon, she asks Emily for a very big favor: find Tom, seduce him, and then give her a full report on what she's been wondering about these 15 years since graduation. The Favor was filmed in 1991 but went unreleased until 1994, after A River Runs Through It and Legends of the Fall had made fourth-billed Brad Pitt a box-office draw. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A frenetic, bloody look at mass murder and the mass media, director Oliver Stone's extremely controversial film divided critics and audiences with its mixture of over-the-top violence and bitter cultural satire. At the center of the film, written by Stone and Quentin Tarantino, among others, are Mickey (Woody Harrelson) and Mallory (Juliette Lewis), a young couple united by their desire for each other and their common love of violence. Together, they embark on a record-breaking, exceptionally gory killing spree that captivates the sensation-hungry tabloid media. Their fame is ensured by one newsman, Wayne Gale (Robert Downey, Jr.), who reports on Mickey and Mallory for his show,
American Maniacs
. Even the duo's eventual capture by the police only increases their notoriety, as Gale develops a plan for a Super Bowl Sunday interview that Mickey and Mallory twist to their own advantage. Visually overwhelming, Robert Richardson's hyperkinetic cinematography switches between documentary-style black-and-white, surveillance video, garishly colored psychedelia, and even animation in a rapid-fire fashion that mirrors the psychosis of the killers and the media-saturated culture that makes them popular heroes. The film's extreme violence -- numerous edits were required to win an R rating -- became a subject of debate, as some critics asserted that the film irresponsibly glorified its murderers and blamed the filmmakers for potentially inciting copy-cat killings. Defenders argued that the film attacks media obsession with violence and satirizes a sensationalistic, celebrity-obsessed society. Certain to provoke discussion, Natural Born Killers will thoroughly alienate many viewers with its shock tactics, chaotic approach, and disturbing subject matter, while others will value the combination of technical virtuosity and dark commentary on the modern American landscape. ~ Judd Blaise, Rovi

Feeling that something is lacking in their lives, the family of suburbanite Charles Grodin adopts a stray St. Bernard puppy. The cute lite beast grows up to be the less-than-cute Beethoven, a sloppy, slobbery, oversized and extremely destructive animal. Beethoven also brings with him a lot of hidden baggage in the form of evil veterinarian Dean Jones, who'll stop at nothing to steal Beethoven for the purposes of his insidious lab experiment. Several sequels followed, beginning with 1993 Beethoven's Second. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Paul Bartel directed this film version of a performance art piece by O-Lan Jones, Andrea Stein, and Jim Turner, who play Tina, Pam, and Scotty -- three grown-up kids who have spent the last thirty years sealed off in a backyard family bomb shelter. A prologue explains what happened: in 1963, when John Kennedy is assassinated, a typical middle-class family from Anaheim retreat to their backyard bomb shelter, afraid that the commies are coming. In 1993, they are still there -- even Mom and Dad, who have since died, but the bones are laid out nicely on their bed. The brother and two sisters, in worn-out clothing, amuse themselves by playing silly little games (something called "Egyptian Fantasy" with Ken as the Pharaoh), engaging in absurd rounds of role playing (Tina as a high-school tease), and hurling senseless rebukes at one another ("I can't hear you. I've got a set of encyclopedias up my butt"). ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Tim Burton's Edward Scissorhands opens as an eccentric inventor (Vincent Price) lovingly assembles a synthetic youth named Edward (Johnny Depp). Edward has all the essential ingredients for today's standard body, with the exception of a pair of hands. For what is initially thought to be a temporary period, he is fitted with long, scissor-like extremities that, while able to trim a mean hedge, are hardly conducive to day-to-day life. When the kindly inventor dies, however, Edward is left lonely and cursed with some very heavy metal for hands. He is eventually taken in by Peg Boggs (Dianne Weist), an Avon lady who takes pity on him after seeing his bleak existence. Edward, in spite of his inherent ability to slay anyone he comes across, is a gentle soul whose only wish is to be loved. His impromptu family has, at best, a limited understanding of Edward, but he finds himself drawn to Peg's weary but sympathetic daughter, Kim (Winona Ryder), who is dating Jim (Anthony Michael Hall), the neighborhood bully. Meanwhile, Edward finds himself a local celebrity after the town realizes that his talents include creative hedge trimming and an unrivaled ability to cut hair. His so-called friends are proven fair-weather when Edward is accused of a crime, after which his only supporters are Peg and Kim. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi

John Schlesinger directed this upscale horror film about a landlord with the ultimate problem tenant. Patty Palmer (Melanie Griffith) and Drake Goodman (Matthew Modine) are a middle class couple who lie on their financial statement in order to buy an old Victorian house in San Francisco, planning to renovate it and rent it out. Unfortunately, they select as a tenant Carter Hayes (Michael Keaton), a psychotic real estate bargain hunter who plans to drive Patty and Drake into foreclosure proceedings and then buy the house cheap. Carter starts the ball rolling by refusing to pay his rent and driving out a couple who had rented the rear flat by hammering and sawing all night -- and then releasing a tidal wave of cockroaches. What follows is a psychological war between Carter and the Yuppie couple, with Carter succeeding not only in provoking Drake into more extreme means of eviction, but also causing a rift between Drake and Patty. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

After a pleasant if somewhat quirky day together, Edwards and Winningham plan a tete-a-tete at the all-night restaurant where the girl works. While preparing to call her on a pay phone, Edwards intercepts a frantic call from a soldier stationed at a Midwestern missile silo. The message: nuclear warheads have been launched, and it's only 70 minutes to Armageddon! This unsettling news casts severe doubts over the future of Edwards' and Winningham's relationship. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Michelle Pfeiffer is Married to the Mob in this comedy. The wife of Mafia hitman Alec Baldwin, Pfeiffer regularly chastizes her husband for his underhanded line of work. Baldwin refuses to entertain any thoughts of quitting the mob-and besides, he's got a good thing going with Nancy Travis, the promiscuous girl friend of gang boss Dean Stockwell. When Stockwell catches on to Travis' peccadilloes, he murders both his mistress and the unlucky Baldwin. At Baldwin's funeral, Stockwell is overwhelmed by Pfeiffer's beauty, and immediately begins plying her with expensive gifts. But Pfeiffer is through with this sort of thing, and with her young son in tow, she leaves town, hoping to start life anew. Upon making the acquaintance of bumbling, seemingly sincere Matthew Modine, Pfeiffer is convinced that Modine is just another mob flunkey. But it's even worse: Modine is an FBI agent, ordered to get to Stockwell by using Pfeiffer as bait. Reluctantly (he's grown quite fond of her himself), Modine blackmails Pfeiffer into setting up a rendezvous with Stockwell. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

If it is possible for a film to be "in heat", then Zalman King's Wildfire is that film. Teenagers Steven Bauer and Linda Fiorentino have their wedding plans shelved indefinitely when Bauer is imprisoned for bank robbery. Upon his release, Bauer learns that Linda is a wife and mother, with no intention of reverting to her previous lifestyle. All this changes when Bauer breaks parole and goes on a crime spree. Turned on by danger, Linda becomes Bonnie to Bauer's Clyde. Maurice Jarre's orgasmic musical score enhances the steamy eroticism of this typical Zalman King wet dream. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Covering some 15 years, The Right Stuff recounts the formation of America's space program, concentrating on the original Mercury astronauts. Scott Glenn plays Alan Shepard, the first American in space; Fred Ward is Gus Grissom, the benighted astronaut for whom nothing works out as planned; and Ed Harris is John Glenn, the straight-arrow "boy scout" of the bunch who was the first American to orbit the earth. The remaining four Mercury boys are Deke Slayton (Scott Paulin), Scott Carpenter (Charles Frank), Wally Schirra (Lance Henriksen) and Gordon Cooper (Dennis Quaid). Wolfe's original book related in straightforward fashion the dangers and frustrations facing the astronauts (including Glenn's oft-repeated complaint that it's hard to be confident when you know that the missile you're sitting on has been built by the lowest bidder), the various personal crises involving their families (Glenn's wife Annie, a stutterer, dreads being interviewed on television, while Grissom's wife Betty, angered that her husband is not regarded as a hero because his mission was a failure, bitterly declares "I want my parade!"), and the schism between the squeaky-clean public image of the Mercury pilots and their sometimes raunchy earthbound shenanigans. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

A Death in Canaan
Paul Clemens plays the real-life Peter Reilly, who in September of 1973 was charged with the mutilation and murder of his mother. The confused 18-year-old signs a confession after being told that he's flunked a lie detector test. Later renouncing the confession, Reilly demands a reopening of his case. The citizens of Peter's home town of Canaan, CT, who'd been willing to see the boy thrown in jail for life when the case first hit the papers, now rally around the youth, insisting that his constitutional rights have been violated. New evidence uncovered by a sympathetic detective enables Peter to press his case. Stefanie Powers plays Joan Barthel, the Canaan resident and free-lance journalist who chronicled Peter's bid for freedom. The made-for-TV A Death in Canaan was first telecast March 1, 1978. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

OES spelling bee champ crowned
Sixth grader spells her way to the top
Etnyre sixth grader Olivia Stafford lived up to the definition of the word she had to spell to take first place in the Oregon Elementary School's spelling bee last Friday.
With her heart in her throat, she calmly recited each letter of demonstrable—clinching the top spot at among 26 of her schoolmates.
"When I was standing up there I felt my heart pounding in my throat," she said. "This was my third year in the bee. I remember the words I misspelled each time before: droll and feud."

Posted 9:33 PM 12/25/2012 : KVOA viewer offers apartment for family who lost home in fire
TUCSON - A Tucson family forced out of their home after a fire Sunday night could be receiving some holiday generosity.
The fire that tore through the home on Sunday destroyed the home, with Christmas gifts inside, but not their holiday spirit.
A KVOA viewer saw the story which originally aired on Christmas Eve about the family with two kids who lost everything in the flames. Suzan Lamberson was compelled to give back, offering them her empty apartment to stay in temporarily.
"I just would hope that somebody else would do the same thing for me. We can all be in that position and there are lots of people good people out there," said Lamberson, who offered up her fully furnished apartment to the family.
"That's the way it really should be, because that's what the country is about," Lamberson said. "We help one another."
Angela Valdez who babysits the kids said the family is currently staying in a hotel courtesy of the red cross but have spoken to Lamberson on the phone. They plan to visit the apartment tomorrow to possibly take Lamberson up on her offer.

OfficiallyHot.com is Back iFabbo.com is Here
OfficiallyHot.com is back and hotter than ever, partnering with new organisations and brands.
In the last few months OfficiallyHot.com and myself has been on a massive journey of discovery. I have traveled the world to source interesting content and products, acquiring knowledge to develop OfficiallyHot.com a from standard blog site into a website which shares information and opinions on beauty related topics, personal development, and beauty training and education for the blogging community and beauty professionals
This development process has been a learning experience in itself, challenging myself and my working practices, this is an ongoing journey of discovery that has been as much about personal growth as it has been about the growth of OfficiallyHot.com.
Whilst in New York for the International Beauty Show I had the opportunity to meet some amazing people and attended some amazing parties. I have to thank fellow blogger Courtney Henley- Anderson of www.thatgirlattheparty.com. For totally hooking me up!! The joinFITE.org event, FITE standing for Financial Independence Through Entrepreneurship. Hosted by founder of Dermalogica Jane Wurwand, stood out for me as the event with the most impact.

The goal is to help 25,000 women in the next 2 years. It was totally fitting the event was hosted on International Women's Day. Follow the links for more information or go directly to my original post: My Americas Adventure Part 1 NYC- joinFITE.org http://officiallyhot.com/?p=341
In addition to meeting Jane Wurwand and most of the top US Dermalogica executives I also meet a lady called Sinead Norenius Self tanning expert and Co founder iFabbo.com an international organisation for beauty, fashion and lifestyle bloggers community http://www.ifabbo.com.

Hi David,
I wanted to let you know about my unusual goal of leveling arts eduction costs.
As former Sr. Art Director for Disney and a definite product of the public school system I knew I wanted to help as many artists as I could get the chances that I received. So I started my own business. Specifically an Internet on-line learning website entertainmentartsacademy.com. What makes this website unique is that we are adding 1-2 high quality entertainment arts classes every week and the cost to take all the classes is only $20. Here our some of our first instructors and classes we have.
We only have the first few classes up right now but by the end of this month we will have 10 classes on-line and ready to watch. We hope to subtitle into French, Italian, German and Spanish soon. Since you seem to have a passion for art I wanted to let you know we are alive and hope to make big things happen this year.
I believe that in tough economic times like this with art being canceled in some school programs this might be a great alternative for parents and college students to take advantage of.
$20.00 to take as many classes as you want - all other institutions offer one of these workshops with a cost that ranges between $100 to $500 bucks. I think your readers would love to know about an on-line program of this nature.
I hope it finds you well. I am looking in creating awesome relationships with people that love animation. If you have any questions please contact me directly. Thanks for your time.

Long story short: By upping the ante character-wise and creating memorable action sequences, Catching Fire is a vast improvement on the first Hunger Games film. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire will remind you of: The Lord of the Flies, Battle Royale, Predator, The Truman Show, Dark City, The Running Man, The Dirty Dozen.
The second Hunger Games movie has arrived and it blows the first one out of the water. Director Francis Lawrence (no relation to Jennifer) has the pulse of the fandom. Gone are the handheld action sequences of the first film, the campy CGI crowds of Panem, the frustrating tendency to play it safe. Lawrence's sequel is just "more" and "better" in every way.

Volume 8, Number 6, Winter 1984 |
I am not a writer but I can remember a few happenings in my own life as a boy growing up in the hills sixty to sixty-five years ago. At eighty-one years of age, Im not so young anymore.
I think of the stories told about the hillbillies, and, as we come back to the hills to visit, I notice the roadside stands and gift shops with people working dressed to look like hillbillies. To me they look like a group of clowns or scarecrows.
I think, as a kid, I was about as much of a hillbilly as any. As a rule we wore bib overalls and a blue chambray shirt, no underwear and rough work shoes. In the winter we wore rubber shoes. I am speaking as a farm boy.
When we went to church or Sunday School, we would try to have a new (or nearly new) pair of overalls and a light dress shirt, usually no tie. We would have a pair of Sunday dress shoes. In the winter we would have a coat from a suit of clothes and wear a coat. One could most always find a coat from a place that sold used clothing. THAT is how us hillbillies dressed!
All this was years before I became a telegrapher and boomed around the country working Western Union and Railroad jobs.

Sail-World.com : From tears to joy - Sydney GTS43 Walawala2 shines in Asian debut
From tears to joy - Sydney GTS43 Walawala2 shines in Asian debut
'Walawala Kings Cup 2010' Tracey Johnston
After a sad end to the 2010 Kings Cup where Singapore based yachtsman Steve Manning lost his Beneteau 44.7 Walawala to the nature of a storm, which ended with his pride and joy being washed up on the beach and destroyed in Phuket Thailand.
How things can change; Steve's endeavor to replace his Beneteau ended when he caught sight of the new Ker designed Sydney GTS43.
Sydney GTS43 Walawala2 ready for Shipping - Jason Rowed
'It was the perfect fit, high performance IRC orientated but still very comfortable and an appeal to more than just the racer. I was impressed enough with the team at Sydney Yachts I ordered sight unseen after I researched all other options on the market, and ran them through simulation software reflecting the type of conditions and racing experienced in Asia.'
Walawala 2 was launched November 2011 in Singapore and the next week made the delivery trip to Phuket Thailand to compete in the prestigious Kings Cup Regatta.
Walawala2 Kings Cup 2011 - Jason Rowed
Well not only did she compete Walawala2 came away with a second place on IRC in her very first regatta. A new yacht less than a month old with a team of friends who used to sail on Steve's Beneteau and the able assistance of Jason Rowed from Sydney Yachts. What a debut for both Manning and also the Sydney Yachts team. Smiles were easily found!
Walawala2 Kings Cup 2011 - Jason Rowed
Post Kings Cup Walawala2 was delivered straight to Langkawi in Malaysia where she stayed until Steve and his family picked her up a couple of weeks later. Now it was time for the family to enjoy the other life of their new Walawala.
The family trip took them from Langkawi back down to Singapore.
Sydney GTS43 Walawala2 Interior - Jason Rowed
With only a few weeks to get work commitments fulfilled it was then time for one of Singapore's main regattas, 'Singapore Straits Regatta'. With a combination of both windward leeward and passage races in Singapore and also across the Straits in Batum Indonesia.
Walawala2 Singapore Straits Regatta 2012 - Jason Rowed
Walawala2 went on to record four wins, two seconds and their worst result was a fifth from the seven race series. Despite that impressive tally, Steve said, 'We had a difficult first few days, as it was a bit of a lottery. After that, we had a day delivery over to Batam for the two final days of racing, which turned out to be excellent.
Walawala2 team delivery to Batam Indonesia - Jason Rowed
Two powerful windward/leeward races were on offer for both days, which were good fun in the breeze, which ranged through 13-18 knots - nothing wrong with those whatsoever. I think we got three firsts and a second.' (Indeed they did…) 'We're a little bit staggered at the moment. Once we got over to Batam and started getting onto the solid upwind stuff again, it was all a little reminiscent of Phuket, you know'. They won the Straits Regatta.
Steve Manning and his Walawala2 - Sydney GTS43 Crew Winners of the 2012 Singapore Straits Regatta - Jason Rowed
For the next few months it was back to Singapore's Raffles Marina which is where Walawala2 is berthed. Some local fun races and then a small series called the Rhumb Series out of Raffles Marina.
As time flies by it is time to prepare Walawala for her delivery to Pattaya, Thailand where she will race the 'Top of the Gulf' Regatta. With a division looking even more competitive than the Kings Cup this regatta is set to be fun and intense.
With racing set over four days with up to seven races scheduled. This regatta was certainly one that every second or point counted every time. With a mixture of Windward leeward and passage races Walawala2 scored consistently and were rewarded with a third place equal with the Ker 40 Kukukerchu but relegated to fourth on a count back. While not overly excited with a fourth Walawala can feel positive as Hi Fi the 52 footer was put in her division and normally races a division above when enough entries. So a few more entries and it could have been equal second.
In summary the fourth really shows there were more mistakes made than the first three competitors. Something that has been absorbed before heading to the next big event at Koh Samui at the end of May.
Straits Trophy 2012 - Asian Yachting
Whether it be Phuket Thailand, Singapore Straits or Pattaya Thailand Walawala 2 has shown she has the speed and style to turn heads. A team led by owner skipper Steve Manning and his core group of Singapore/Hong Kong based club sailors.
Well done to Steve and his team on an impressive start to Walawala2's racing debut on the Asian circuit.

The importance and the use of cleanrooms is constantly on the rise, because miniaturization, micromechanics and nanotechnology, in addition to increasingly stringent requirements for high-quality production of components and process quality of chemicals, pharmaceuticals and foods make it increasingly important to completely control the ambient conditions for production and to limit in particular the number and size of the particles.
Cleanrooms offer the required controlled conditions and therefore enable the use of production processes that would be inconceivable under less favorable ambient conditions.

Venue: Concert Hall View Seat Map Presented by: Sydney Philharmonia Choirs
Single tickets onsale 29 January 2013!
Subscription packages available from 7 September 2012 from The Sydney Philharmonia Choirs
After a gap year away from our traditional Christmas performances of Messiah, we return to Handel's masterpiece with a stellar line-up of soloists joining our Symphony Chorus and Massed Choirs.
But in 2013 there's a difference: we're reviving this great oratorio's 18th century association with charitable support.
The premiere of Messiah, in Dublin, was given in aid of several charities, including the Mercer's Hospital and the Charitable Infirmary on the Inns Quay. Back in Handel's adopted city, performances benefiting London's Foundling Hospital for children became an annual institution.
So we're delighted that our performances of Messiah in 2013 will be presented in association with The Children's Hospital at Westmead. In a return to tradition, proceeds from the concerts will be shared with the hospital, and volunteers will be at all performances to collect donations.
If you're new to Messiah, come and experience it in the spirit of its first performances. If you know it well, come hear our line-up of great soloists. You'll not only be enjoying a thrilling performance at a joyous time of year, but be helping a very worthy cause at the same time.

From Denis Vandal, Air Canada director of marketing and communications
Dear Commissioner Bettman:
We are contacting you today to voice our concern over last night's incident involving Max Pacioretty and Zdeno Chara at the Bell Centre in Montreal. This is following several other incidents involving career threatening and life endangering head shots in the NHL recently.
As a strong supporter and sponsor of NHL Hockey in Canada and several U.S. cities, Air Canada is very concerned with the state of hockey today. While we support countless sports, arts and community events, we are having difficultly rationalizing our sponsorship of Hockey unless the NHL takes responsibility to protect both the players and the integrity of the game. From a corporate social responsibility standpoint, it is becoming increasingly difficult to associate our brand with sports events which could lead to serious and irresponsible accidents; action must be taken by the NHL before we are encountered with a fatality.
Unless the NHL takes immediate action with serious suspensions to the players in question to curtail these life threatening injuries, Air Canada will withdraw its sponsorship of Hockey.
We are following progress on these matters very closely and look forward to your response.

"Nice platinum mine you´ve got here. . ."
They can make a lot of dough as a supplier for those trillion-dollar American coins.
People are missing this opportunity........with typical African efficiency in place, production will plummet and prices wil skyrocket!!Buy today!!!
Anybody catch this part"The mining enterprise will lend Zimbabwe the money to buy the majority stake..."So not only are they forced to give up 51% of their business they must also give the government the money required to "buy" the mine as well? Does anybody think that this deal would have been done under anything but a coercove abuse of power?.In two years expect the 49% owners to be hauled in front of a tribunal for crimes against the government because the mine no longer turns a profit. All the workers just lay around doing nothing while what little platinum actually dig up mysteriously disappears each month when the government "inspectors" show up.Thats like being forced to "rent" out half your house to unemployable convicted felons and then sending yourself the bill so you can pay it. All the while watching as the freeloaders steal everything that isn´t nailed down and then getting sued because there is nothing left for the "renters" to steal.
It is a disgrace that civilization stood by and watched [abetted?] the bloody regression of Rhodesia to the more or less Stone Age under Mugabe´s black rule."The only thing worse than colonialism is what came after."~~ V.S. NaipulWhich was, we now know, much worse....
Think it can´t happen here in the U.S. under 0bamunism?
Perhaps those 100 Trillion dollar bank notes from the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe will be worth something after all when they dig up enough platinum to mint those 20 thousand pound trillion dollar coins with the face of Obama on it.
With 4 more years of Obama, our sister country will be Zimbabwe.
Seems that this mine was developed in the 1990s - well after it became clear that Mugabe was what he was. So there should have been no surprises.It also appears that ´´Zimbabwe is one of the world´s largest producers of platinum.´´ means very little as it´s current production makes up less than one percent of the world´s supply. Reserves are substantial however - but folks are probably waiting it out until Mugabe dies.

You cannot rely on natural lighting, if you do it can lead to a whole slew of concerns such as temperature change, algae growth, and restrictions of placement. You should always moderate the lighting in your aquarium to your specifications with your own custom lighting system. Your lighting system is not going to do you or anyone any good if all the lights are burnt out. Here you can purchase a PFO bulb or lighting system. PFO Lighting activates photosynthesis, bioluminescence, and recreates the tropical water temperature environment needed by many species of fish in the aquarium. This PFO product is a preferred customer choice and is very popular.

Five Tigers Named to All-SCAC Team; Riffle and Trainor Share Top Honors
November 19, 2008
November 19, 2008, Greencastle, Ind. -Five DePauw players were named to the all-Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference field hockey team in voting by the conference's five head coaches and two shared top honors. The complete team is available here.
Junior forward Sarah Riffle (left) was named the co-Offensive Player of the Year along with Sewanee's Lynn Hancock. Riffle led the Tigers with 15 goals and 32 points. She's the first DePauw player since Allison Baccich in 2006 to earn the distinction
Freshman forward Kimberly Trainor (right) shared the SCAC Newcomer of the Year honor with Centre's Patty Cowley. Trainor scored four goals and added three assists in her rookie campaign with the Tigers and is the first DePauw player to earn the award in the five-year history of conference play.
Joining Riffle on the all-SCAC team are senior midfielder Meredith Ellis, senior forward Carolyn Mueller, junior defender Becca Rojek and senior midfielder Beth Seegers.
Ellis' honor was the third of her career as she made the team in both 2005 and 2006, while Mueller and Rojek each earned all-SCAC accolades in 2007.
DePauw finished with a 14-4 overall record including a 6-2 SCAC mark. The Tigers finished third at the SCAC Championship.
