International Minerals Reports Production Results From Pallancata Mine for Quarter Ended December 31, 2012 and Full Calendar Year 2012
By: Marketwired .
Jan. 29, 2013 06:00 PM
SCOTTSDALE, AZ -- (Marketwire) -- 01/29/13 -- International Minerals Corporation (TSX: IMZ) (SWISS: IMZ) (the "Company" or "IMZ") announces production results from its 40%-owned Pallancata silver mine in Peru (Hochschild 60%-owned and operator) for its fiscal 2013 second quarter ended December 31, 2012 ("Current Quarter") and for the calendar 12-month period ended December 31, 2012 ("Calendar Year 2012").
In the Current Quarter, the Pallancata Mine produced (on a 100% basis) approximately 1.9 million ounces of silver (2011: 2.3 million ounces) and 7,402 ounces of gold (2011: 8,304 ounces). The Company's 40% share of production for the Current Quarter was approximately 0.8 million ounces of silver (2011: 0.9 million ounces) and 2,961 ounces of gold (2011: 3,322 ounces).
For Calendar Year 2012, the Pallancata Mine produced (on a 100% basis) approximately 7.4 million ounces of silver (8.8 million ounces in Calendar Year 2011) and 26,231 ounces of gold (33,881 ounces in Calendar Year 2011). The Company's 40% share of production for Calendar 2012 was approximately 3.0 million ounces of silver (3.5 million ounces in 2011) and 10,492 ounces of gold (13,553 ounces in 2011).
The decreases in gold and silver production for both the Current Quarter and Calendar Year 2012 compared to the respective previous periods are due primarily to a decrease in the grades of both silver and gold processed because (a) the mine experienced an increase in mining dilution due to the narrower veins being mined, and (b) the mine encountered production scheduling constraints which restricted mine development and backfill placement. These issues are currently being addressed by the mine operator.
IMZ anticipates that production from the Pallancata Mine for Calendar Year 2013 will be similar to 2012 at approximately 7.4 million ounces of silver and 26,000 ounces of gold, with approximately 3.0 million ounces of silver and 10,400 ounces of gold representing IMZ's 40% share of anticipated 2013 production.
Operating Statistics for the Pallancata Mine (100% basis and IMZ 40% basis).
The Table below reports key production statistics for the Pallancata Mine for the Current Quarter (ended December 31, 2012) and Calendar Year 2012 (12 months ended December 31, 2012), together with the respective previous periods.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quarter Quarter Year Year Ended Ended Ended Ended 12/31/2012 12/31/2011 12/31/2012 12/31/2011 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 100 % Basis ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ore mined (tonnes) 301,894 291,607 1,059,329 1,039,674 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ore processed (tonnes) 288,858 293,060 1,094,250 1,070,466 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Head grade- Silver (grams/tonne) 255 293 256 301 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Head grade- Gold (grams/tonne) 1.1 1.3 1.1 1.3 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Silver production (ounces) 1,941,821 2,288,930 7,440,604 8,767,394 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gold production (ounces) 7,402 8,304 26,231 33,881 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- IMZ 40% Basis ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Silver production (ounces) 776,728 915,572 2,976,242 3,506,958 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gold production (ounces) 2,961 3,322 10,492 13,553 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Production costs for both the Current Quarter and Calendar Year 2012 will be provided in a Company news release to be issued after the close of markets on February 14, 2013, together with disclosure of the financial results for the Current Quarter.
With respect to the financial results for the Current Quarter, as a result of lower income from Pallancata and a further write-down of approximately US$14.5 million in the carrying value of the Ecuador assets (see the Company's November 21, 2012 news release), the Company expects to report a net loss for the Current Quarter. This loss remains to be fully quantified but at this time it is anticipated to be in the US$9 million to $10 million range, compared to net income after tax of US$11.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011. Net income after tax for the fiscal 6-month period ended December 31, 2012 is expected to be close to break-even compared to net income after tax of US$26.3 million for the fiscal 6-month period ended December 31, 2011.
Ecuador Update
IMZ has entered into preliminary agreements for the sale of the properties in Ecuador. Both IMZ and the respective buyers are working closely with the Government of Ecuador to obtain the required government approvals in order to finalize these transactions. Further details will be provided when the required approvals are obtained.
Inmaculada Project Update
At the Company's 40%-owned Inmaculada gold-silver project in Peru (Hochschild 60%-owned and operator), a loan arrangement on favorable terms with a syndicate of Peruvian banks is currently being negotiated by Minera Suyamarca S.A.C. (the company jointly owned by the Company and Hochschild) to finance part of the capital costs for Inmaculada. The amount and terms of this loan are expected to be finalized with the banks by the end of March 2013 and will be announced to the market at that time. It is anticipated that Inmaculada will commence production in the second half of 2014 (See IMZ new release dated November 26, 2012 for more details).
The technical disclosure in this news release has been reviewed by IMZ's Qualified Person, Nick Appleyard, VP Corporate Development.
Hochschild Mining plc does not accept any responsibility for the adequacy or inadequacy of the disclosure made in this news release and any such responsibility is hereby disclaimed in all respects.

Indie gaming's been revitalised in recent years with the explosion of digital distribution and renewed mainstream attention, and one group of film-makers has been documenting a little of all this. Indie Game: The Movie by BlinkWorks is entering the final stages of production, and finally has a proper trailer to show off.
Indie Game: The Movie revolves around Super Meat Boy developer Team Meat, Braid maker Jonathan Blow, and Phil Fish of Fez developer Polytron. It covers the trials and tribulations of their games' development, their fears, their motivations, their triumphs--all that documentary jazz. There are also appearances by a whole host of indie gaming luminaries.
BOOM video 9533
If you like what you see, BlinkWorks is seeking a second round of funding through Kickstarter to help with the audio, colour and mastering. With a goal of $35,000 and 31 days left, the total received currently stands at $11,571. Pledging $15 or more will get you a copy of the finished documentary, with extra bonuses coming as you give more.
Indie Game: The Movie is expected to launch "by the end of this year or very early in 2012." BlinkWorks plans to show the film at festivals and special event screenings this fall.

Amanda Knox Thanks Family After She Returns to the US [VIDEO]
Amanda Knox, who recently saw her murder conviction in Italy overturned and was freed after four years in prison, returned home to Seattle on Tuesday night.
At a news conference held at Sea-Tac Airport after her arrival, she tearfully expressed gratitude to her supporters, saying, "My family's the most important thing to me so I just want to go and be with them, so, thank you for being there for me." She also said, "Thank you to everyone who's believed in me, who's defended me, who's supported my family."
Her father, Curt, later told reporters gathered outside his home that Amanda's plans likely included returning to the University of Washington to finish her degree, but added, "The focus simply is Amanda's well-being and getting her reassociated with just being a regular person again."
Meanwhile, well-wishers in the neighborhood where the 24-year-old grew up posted signs welcoming her home, and one local bar even offered half-price drinks to celebrate her acquittal.
Knox, a former student in Perugia, Italy, was convicted of her roommate's 2007 slaying two years ago, but a DNA review ordered during her appeal discredited crucial genetic evidence and led to her release. The case is now in the hands of Italy's highest court — if it overturns her acquittal, prosecutors could request that she be extradited back to the country.
Watch as she addresses reporters below.

Stage, Screen & In Between Blog
Read more Colorado theater and film news on the Stage, Screen & In Between blog.
DENVER — Something mysterious in the sky is drawing thousands of people outside in downtown Denver.
If that sounds like the beginning of a sci-fi movie, it is — and a Colorado-based production company is looking for extras to help make it happen.
Dream Maker Films is seeking 5,000 movie extras to fill the streets in downtown Denver and Boulder for filming later this year.
The movie, "The Energy," is in the early stages of pre-production and could begin filming this summer, said Terry Spar, project manager of the film, in a news release.
The scenes in need of extras will be in the first 10 minutes of the movie and "set the stage for a really-fast paced movie with a lot of action," said Jack Grey, of Dream Maker Films.
"In Denver, we'll have a lot of people coming out of buildings, suits, lawyers, business people. In Boulder, we'll have a lot of families — kids, parents, grandparents," Grey said. "They'll walk outside and look up into the sky and start pulling out their cell phones and taking pictures and videos of what they're seeing."
The details on the rest of the movie, Dream Maker's first feature-length effort, are staying under wraps for now, he said.
"It's about energy in the sense of positive and negative energy in people," Grey said. "People are drawn to one side of the energy and certain people take that to an extreme. People who take it to an extreme develop some powers."
To be an extra, send an e-mail to email@example.com or go to www.DMFentertainment.com and sign up. Casting staff will automatically contact people after they sign up for profiles, according to the release.

I've been listening to the music of Gram Parsons lately since I watched the documentary film Gram Parsons: Fallen Angel. Parsons musical gifts and passion for country and roots music was a major factor in his influencing of such legendary bands as The Rolling Stones and The Byrds. He is cited as the one who helped to usher in the genre of country rock during the late sixties when he worked with The Byrds and The Flying Burrito Brothers. He later introduced to the musical world a young singer songwriter named Emmylou Harris. Parsons lived fast and died young but he left behind two very strong records, GP and Grievous Angel.

|On tratment and night sweats
Nov 28, 2012
Dear Dr,
I have been on Atripla for 3 years, my viral load have been undetectable ,and my CD4 about 800. However, for the past 2 weeks I have had night sweats, similar to the ones I used to have years ago, on the onset of the infection. My latest viral load was not undetectable, but was 38. Could this be an indication that I may be becoming resistant, and that the virus is multilplying again? My Dr said that instead of having a follow up in 6 months, I should return in 3 months. Is it advisable to wait that long to determine whether I have become resistent to the treatment?
Thank you
best regards
Response from Dr. Henry
A viral load of 38 copies is << 50 or 200 copies/ml that are the more clinically relevant thresholds for concern about possible viral rebound. 38 copies/ml I would consider to be fine---in our clinic we only read out < 50 copies/ml (ie below standard detection limit) even though the assay may give a read out such as in your case. It is highly unlikely that your night sweats represent virologic failure or a new side effect of Atripla after 3 years on treatment. Other possibilies (ie viral syndrome, hormone issues et cetera) would be more likely--recommmend discussing with your HIV provider. KH

Paypal, http/https, success return page...
Well, after that cryptic thread subject I hope I can explain the problem I am having a bit better here!
I'm in the process of developing my site and I am going to be using paypal to accept payments. I am using paypal website payments standard and having a problem that I do not find either satisfactorily answered/explained on the paypal developer forums but I am hoping someone else here on sitepoint has seen this and found the answer for their own development.
Basically, I setup a Buy Now paypal form, but one that is able to accept an aggregate of items. Sending multiple items with one Buy Now button is possible when you have a custom cart implementation that accumulates items which are then only sent to paypal when a buyer is ready to checkout. In this situation I only use paypal for their payment receiving capability and not their cart functionality.
My paypal form specifies a return url on payment success. While testing this out in the paypal "sandbox" I find that the entire transaction proceeds without problems until the buyer presses the button to return to my site. At that point I get the ugly and annoying Security Warning dialog from the browser, with the usual message that information is being sent over an unencrypted connection and asking for the user to accept that. The dialog displays twice in my FF 1.07 browser with an acceptance required each time.
I cannot see a reason for why the transfer from the https page at paypal to my non-https return page should cause the warning. There shouldn't really be a reason why I would have to have ssl on my end since that is one of the major advantages of using paypal - that I wouldn't need ssl on my end.
Any insight into this problem would be greatly appreciated as I do not want to have to have ssl for my site for this seemingly unnecessary situation and I do not want to have my buyers have to see and respond to that dialog.
If it might help, here is the form code being used to interact with the sandbox...
<form action="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart" />
<input type="hidden" name="upload" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="firstname.lastname@example.com" />

Hmm, I think that's a rule that when a secure site goes to another site without https it gives warning. Maybe I'm wrong.
Anyways, you could always just get a $20/year SSL.

Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology
11 Divinity Ave.
Cambridge, MA 2138
United States
Through archaeological finds from Harvard Yard, historic maps, and more, the exhibition reveals how students lived at colonial Harvard and the role of the Indian College in Harvard's early years.
Student archaeologists unearthed evidence of colonial Harvard as a landscape shaped by social and religious tensions, which affected everything from Native American and English settler relationships to the everyday routines of student life. As the students searched for meaning in the material remains of Harvard students of the past, three themes emerged: literacy and the Indian College; rule (breaking) and religion; and negotiations of social status. Who knew that small fragments buried below ground could reveal so much?
Update: Excavations continued after the exhibition was installed. The Fall 2009 dig uncovered traces of the Indian College.

Hello….sorry I've been silent all weekend. I do have a lot to share with you. First off to explain the title. We have decided to find Frankie a new home. Please don't be upset with me. This was a VERY hard decision for me and one that I had to make. I felt that we did not have enough to give to Frankie with training him and doing what Frankie needs and I was feeling that Jackjack, Abigail and I were suffering because of it as well as Frankie. There are many things that contributed to this and I just feel I don't want to share them all on here. If you want, please feel free to ask me.
I never felt I was a person to let a dog go that came into my house but I have realized that I am the one in charge of all the training and dog walking and that I just can't give enough to three dogs especially one that needs a lot from someone right now. He is a great dog and I love him to death…but I just feel it was best if I found him a new home. This decision was made between Thursday and Friday.
The good thing was that we had already been asked for Frankie by several people…so I thought about who I could see him with and I called my knitting friend and asked if she would seriously consider adopting Frankie. She spoke to her Mr. Man and asked if I would bring him over to meet their dog Arwyn, a black lab mix.
So, Friday I took him over and hung out for over an hour and watched Frankie play and play with Arwyn and also watched him learn how to use their doggie door. When I left they said that they would keep him over night and see how it goes and let me know what they decide. I left and I told her he will whine for me but if you distract him he will be ok.
She called me Saturday morning with good news. She said that he did whine but every time he did Arwyn ran over and started playing with him and kept him occupied. She said that sleepy time was interesting because Arwyn really wasn't sure about sharing the bed with another dog but in the end they all slept in the bed and it went well. She walked the two of them that morning and was able to easily walk them. So, she said that they had decided to keep him and went out and bought him a new crate, doggie bed, and more toys.
She also brought him and Arwyn with them on Saturday to our WWKIP day event and they both did great. Here is a picture of the Fiber Fanatics group setting up our event with Frankie and Arwyn to help us. Frankie's new mommy did all the decorations. She's very crafty!
It was sad not having him at home because he will always have my heart and be a part of my pack but I think it's best for him to live with them. The good thing is that I will get to see him when I want and I'll get updates about him all the time. I think he will be happy with them and I think my marriage will be better off with just the two dogs.
I know that not everyone will understand this decision as I know that I've not always understood when others decided this but I have to admit that it was the right choice. He's going to be loved and taken good care of. My friend is a dog person and I know that she will give him everything he needs.
Well...I hope you understand but feel free to tell me what you feel. I've come to grips with this and I'm doing ok. I feel I was a great foster mom for him but he needed to be where he is now.
Thank you for reading this.
PS..I have tons more pictures of the WWKIP day to share but will post them later today or tomorrow.

Let's Go Irish
Usually I want them to go 0-12. But since Michigan is lower ranked than they are used to this year, the Wolverines need to beat a highly ranked Notre Dame squad. Sure, any win over the Irish is nice, but for Michigan to get rid of last year's horrible taste, a win over a top-three ranked team would be the best pallet cleanser.

Ain't that the truth.

It'd be nice, but I still fear we're going to outplay ND for a half, then do something stupid and blow the game like we always do in South Bend. We're due to win there, but I'll believe it when I see it.

If Michigan keeps winning, we'll end up top-ranked eventually. If we don't keep winning, it doesn't matter who we play.
- September 08, 2006 3:04 AM
ND must be beaten multiple times for the polls to have meaning. ALWAYS pull for the Big 10/11 OOC. You play PSU, beat them and ND. Then you'll be ahead of both. ND needs multiple losses to drop enough to play TCU in the worst BCS bowl game.

Watching last week's Notre Dame-GT game, my fellow Penn State fans had the same thing to say about the Irish, we need to root for them to win. Sorry, I just couldn't do it, rooting for the most hyped team in the country outside of USC just goes against every fiber of my being.
- September 08, 2006 8:53 AM
I'd rather beat an undefeated PSU in Happy Valley.
- September 08, 2006 9:52 AM
I cannot actually bring myself to root for Notre Dame; like actually cheering for them at the tv, but I do realize the importance of them winning for Michigan's sake. So Go Irish!!! Yuk...I can't believe those words actually came out of my mouth. Soap please.

I'd like to agree with you, but I already used up my once per calender year allowance of cheering for the domers on January 2nd of this year.

This game also presents a Michigan fan with a dilemma. On an emotional level, I'd much rather Penn State win. They're a fellow Big Ten team and I dig Joe Paterno for some bizarre reason. However, I'll go through this methodically and see what I come up with.
From a purely logical poll-based perspective.
Notre Dame ranked higher than Michigan: advantage Penn State
Notre Dame plays Michigan: advantage Notre Dame
Penn State plays Michigan: advantage Penn State
I think from a purely logical perspective Penn State should get the support from us. Notre Dame losing will probably give Michigan a bump up in the polls and Michigan will eventually face a higher ranked Penn State. Of course, a counterargument to this is that Michigan beating an undefeated—even if it is only 2-0—Notre Dame that's ranked in the top five will "make a statement" and give Michigan a big boost. I suppose the biggest difference is a Notre Dame victory provides an opportunity for a more meteoric rise in the polls while a Penn State victory would likely mean a more methodical one. I suppose it's reasonable to argue that the differences in this are negligible. However, as others have already mentioned, Notre Dame will need more loses than other teams to drop the same in the polls. A two-loss Notre Dame is the equivalent of a one-loss anyone else.
There's also the effect this game will have on the Michigan-Notre Dame game.
Notre Dame wins and goes into the Michigan game overconfident and believing the hype: advantage Notre Dame
Notre Dame loses and goes into the Michigan game correcting the weaknesses Penn State exposed and determined to redeem themselves: advantage Notre Dame
I don't think Notre Dame would do a Minnesota/Michigan State-like downward spiral into demoralized oblivion after a loss to Penn State. Michigan will face a more vulnerable opponent if Notre Dame wins unless Penn State exploits a weakness that just can't be addressed by the Michigan game.
Now, from an irrational, emotional perspective:
Notre Dame wins and the volume gets turned up on the "OMG retuning to glory!!!!!!!" talk: advantage Penn State
Penn State wins and the media tongue bathing of Charlie Weis's bathing suit area reduced to a more reasonable level: advantage Penn State
Trying to quiet the media hype may prove to be quixotic since they seem determined to whip up excitement about someone.
And lastly, the underdog factor. Penn State is not only ranked a lot lower than Notre Dame but there's the contrast of the coaches. Penn State has traditional old-schooler Joe Paterno who has coached since the Cretaceous Period, endured repeated snubs by pollsters, suffered a fall from grace only to rise from the ashes, and is simply a coaching legend even if he is slightly crazy these days. Charlie Weis is the shiny new thing in the college football world. Joe Paterno's Penn State coaching odyssey—the stuff of Greek mythology—is just too dramatic to ignore, advantage Penn State.
So, it seems to come down to what you hope to get from the game.
If you want Michigan to climb higher in the polls, I think there's an arguable advantage in Penn State winning.
If you want Michigan to have an advantage in the Notre Dame game, I think there's benefit to Notre Dame winning.
If you want to feel good and have the world be a better place, Penn State needs to win.

someone once told me that the hardest decision you'll ever make is settling on a wife. Bullshit. The hardest decision was figuring out who to root for in last yr's Fiesta Bowl. I hate both teams w/ my being and soul. I always thought I hated OSU more than ND, but when the points started raining on ND I was more satisfied to see it continue. i also had to vomit, actually enjoying an OSU win. Why God didn't throw a thunderbolt at the field that day I'll never know, hence, i have lost my faith in the Lord.
so to put it short: I want to beat OSU more than anyone else, but I hate ND more. Does that make sense? Should I hit myself in the balls w/ a baseball bat? I'm really confused

Usually, I always give lip-service to supporting the Big-10, but today is just too difficult. If Texas beats Tosu, hundreds of thousands of big-mouthed Tosu fans are silenced - living in Ohio, this is appealing. Also, if ND beats Penn St, Michigan gets a great opportunity to go into ND next week and beat the #2 or #3 team in the nation, propelling us up the polls substantially.
I am saying loudly "Go Buckeyes, Go Nittany Lions, Go Big-10" (but whispering "Hook'em Horns, Go Irish"). I know, it is hypocrisy at its worst, but at least I'm honest.

I thinking about upgrade my titan 775 to dewalt 14.4v.
I have the old 27mhz radio, it can run good with it? or should I buy 2.4ghz?
What else do I need to buy for this upgrade?

Just make sure that you use capacitors on the motor and you should be fine.
With all due respect, UrielZ, there are about 20 threads about the DeWalt. All questions have been answered a hundred times on the DeWalt. Why don't you look around a bit in the forum? Thats why we answer questions, for others to benefit.

MJP, I've been searching about my questions and I didn't find a final answer...

Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
Heres mine... good info here too.
If your using the AM radio the caps are a MUST have. If your using a 2.4 you don't HAVE to use caps. I don't and have no issues. The only other things you NEED are soldering supplies, a drill and a dremel... all is explained in the above posts and mine.
Good work Jimmie....now if he had said "I'm too lazy to search" then jump on him otherwise ,that what these forums are for....right

I apologize, I just had the impression that we go into the 120th thread on DeWalt here and when I did my DeWalt conversion I was so confused by these many threads that I wish that we close 110 of them and keep those 10 threads that contain all knowledge about the DeWalt.
Google Search for "dewalt traxxas caps" will bring this up:
"At 2.4GHz the interference created by the motor is far less than at 27MHz or 75MHz, but not knowing exactly how much interference is generated at 2.4GHz (no experience with a cap-less brushed motor & 2.4), there could possibly still be a small reduction in range if you run it without the caps."
I wish somebody would just sell the motors ready to bolt up! I can't solder for crap nor do I have the tools.
Dan from kershaw designs does. I bet he makes quite the profit too
I ran am for a while when a cap breaks I knew right away.glitchy glicherson. 2.4 no issues

Thank you all for your help!
I think I'll go with the kershaw option....
What pinion/spur should I need for a 30mph top speed and cool motor?
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk
I could never find a happy median for my gearing. my motor ALWAYS ran hot. I had tried everything from a 11 to 14. BTW i was running RC4WD mudslingers with every other lug cut. I recently put in a rx8 with a 1700kv truggy motor and LOVE it.
in the kershaw designs site i can choose different pinion: 17,19,21,25.
which pinion should i choose if i'll buy the Integy Heat Sink Fan with the motor?
depends where you drive,
muddy off road go lower, 100% of time
Mostly off road but some on road go bit higher, 60%off road/40% on road
On road with some dry off road go higher,60% on road/40% off road
On road go higher.100% on road
if your stuck go with a middle of the range size change some spurs as they are cheaper.
there is no right size or wrong size, check the temps of the motor and change accordingly.
It's trial and error, as i would imagine people try to run on the same sort of terrain most of the time.
i try to stick to wet grass sometimes muddy might be in different places but thats what i look for, but mines in a maxx,

Google search trumps Wiki. Refer to user guide.
If you want 30mph you may be better off with the dewalt motor. The Kershaw 700HO motor (which is what I assume your thinking of) isnt alot different than the titan 775... id start with stock gearing and keep an eye on temps. But your not going to get 30mph without heat issues unless you go dewalt or brushless.
Ahhh, so you can buy a ready to instal dewalt motor. That's cool. What do they sell it for?
I would think since stock is 14/68 you could get away with a 16/62 combo. I know you can do 16/68 all day with. I he's issues, and I think I've heard a few people even running 18/68.
alright, so now the decision is between the 17t to the 19t- they don't offering 18t.
BTW sorry for bothering, i'm new to the summit and haven't touched the hole gearing thing yet...
Kershaws dewalt is about $35 + $8 to prep for am/fm and $4 to prep for 2.5 ghz A pretty sweet deal if you hate soldering the wires and caps on.
Not only that but the dewalts are difficult to solder to cause of the limited space.
If i were to do it again i would pay him in a heart beat to solder it up all good.
Why is the summit so mmuch different than the erevo? He offers a 31t pinion for the erevo!
I thought the chassis and parts are all identical , other than the locking diff
Got no business running a 31T pinion in a Summit.
Alt-248 on the number pad = °
Would you go flip my truck back over??
Why do you say there is limited space??
Would you go flip my truck back over??
I would suggest order BOTH the 17 AND 19t pinions. We can't say exactly what will work. If you can ONLY pick one I would default to the smaller one to be safe. But for the extra few $$'s get them both so you have options. Options are always good.
i done the two wires, it is tight and doesn't look good.Used the connector that was on the motor,( I took my motor straight from a drill. The wire that is used is surprisingly small diameter), crimped and soldered. Then spliced off from that near the connector for the other wire and heat shrink around as it's could easily hit the can when moving about.
I will be changing to a single wire once i get replacement connectors for where the stock traxxas ones are.
Google search trumps Wiki. Refer to user guide.
If you just have to wires instead of 4 on the motor what do ya do with the other 2 from the esc?
Combine them in a 5.5, 6.0, or 6.5mm female bullet connector? Use one heavy gauge wire and the male bullet for the motor.
Alt-248 on the number pad = °
still use the 4 just there joined together, one on the connector and one a little way up the wire, heatshrinked incase it touches the motor casing. Thanks ksb i wasn't sure if i needed 8mm or 6mm.

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — A state program in South Dakota that subsidizes livestock loans for ranchers with limited equity is lowering interest rates for producers hit hard by an early October blizzard.
Qualifying ranchers in 25 counties declared a federal disaster because of the storm that killed more than 40,000 cattle, sheep and horses are eligible for an interest rate of 2.75 percent on applications received before the end of last year. That's down from the current rate of 4 percent offered through the state Agriculture Department's Livestock Loan Participation Program.
The storm that hit Oct. 4-5 impacted more than 600 ranchers, some of whom lost more than half of their herds.
"We recognize the devastation (the storm) had on our ranchers," state Agriculture Secretary Lucas Lentsch said. "The department can work within state rules and statutes to lower the interest rates even further for our producers while providing some comfort to their bankers."
Eligible counties are Bennett, Butte, Campbell, Corson, Custer, Dewey, Fall River, Haakon, Harding, Jackson, Jones, Lawrence, Lyman, Meade, Mellette, Pennington, Perkins, Potter, Shannon, Stanley, Sully, Todd, Tripp, Walworth and Ziebach.

Mount Union College Dedicates Crescent on Simpson and Vincent
June 23, 2008
The childhood memories of Jane (Eynon '46) Moncrief can be credited for spurring a campus renovation project at Mount Union College that has resulted in the rejuvenation of a favorite "play place" from her youth. Saturday, Mount Union honored that location, known as the Campus Crescent, with a dedication ceremony that reunited long-time friends and celebrated the past.
The Campus Crescent, the "island" of land just north of the Hoover-Price Campus Center that joins Simpson and Vincent streets, was the beneficiary of a recent facelift that included the removal of dying trees and planting of new foliage including flowering pear, cherry and elm trees. Decorative flowers and shrubbery also have enhanced the area, creating a welcoming entrance to those traveling to campus from the west on Vincent.
"This property has been idle for years and the College really wanted to spruce up the area," said James Piatt Jr., vice president for advancement. "It was Jane, though, who really led the charge. She began to contact former friends from her youth who once lived in the neighborhood to discuss the project and encourage their support. Through her dedication and perseverance, the renovation has become a reality."
Nearly 50 individuals contributed to the project, many of whom grew up in the neighborhood surrounding the crescent – a neighborhood that Moncrief's grandfather, Walter Ellet, developed shortly after World War I. A long-time member of the Mount Union Board of Trustees and former chair, Ellet also was the driving force behind the excavation of the Campus Lakes at the corner of Simpson Street and Union Avenue.
"I contacted those friends and former neighbors of mine, both in town and out of town, to discuss the idea of raising funds to renovate this property, and they were so receptive," said Moncrief. "It was such a great effort of childhood friends and neighbors coming together to beautify this area nearly a century later."
According to Moncrief, the land had originally been given to the College by the Lamborn family but was sold to raise the money needed to build Lamborn Science Hall in 1912. Ellet, who was a local real estate developer, was able to maximize the value of the Lamborn Gift and platted the area. He did, however, leave the small crescent as an area for the community to enjoy.
The renovated property also is home to a pergola with a cedar wood swing, a feature that holds special significance for Moncrief since it is reminiscent of a similar pergola that existed on the property during her childhood. She, along with her daughters and nieces, thought the swing would be a nice addition for the children of the neighborhood.
"The neighborhood is still of the same quality as it was when I first lived here, and it probably always will be because of the College," said Moncrief. "For years these streets have been home to professors, administrators and alumni – others like my family who are so involved with Mount Union. Today, I still live here, just around the corner on Overlook, and the neighborhood still looks and feels the same as it did 83 years ago when I first arrived."

Go ahead, try to understand the Miami Dolphins. You cannot. It's impossible. They cannot be predicted. They cannot be understood.
And there is no more obvious way to illustrate this than to offer Miami's success against quarterbacks in 2013.
The Dolphins this year have beaten Matt Ryan, Andrew Luck, Tom Brady, Andy Dalton, Phillip Rivers and Ben Roethlisberger. Impressive, right?
They have lost to, among others, rookie Mike Glennon of Tampa Bay and Thad Lewis, who started the year on the practice squad and was at the time Buffalo's fourth quarterback choice to start. The Dolphins also lost to Joe Flacco, who went on a tear last postseason to help Baltimore win the Super Bowl but this year is average at best with 18 TDs and 17 INTs and a QB rating that puts him 30th out of 35 rated signal callers.
And that is interesting only because in the final two games the Dolphins play two rookie quarterbacks -- one of whom is inconsistent and the other of whom has played quite poorly.
The Dolphins are in trouble!!!!
Seriously, the final two games against the Bills and Jets would seem to be a gross mismatch of a solid, veteran defense against two young QBs.
This week Miami faces E.J. Manuel, who is the 28th rated passer in the league tied with, get this, Matt Schaub. Manuel was injured during Miami's early-season loss to the Bills so he did not play. He's made five consecutive starts since returning from his knee injury. The Bills are 2-3 in those games and Manuel has been, well, inconsistent.
(At least he's consistent with his inconsistency).
Manuel completed over 70 percent of his passes in wins over the Jets and Jacksonville last week. He failed to complete even 60 percent in losses against Pittsburgh, Atlanta and Tampa Bay, which was his personal meltdown game in which he threw four interceptions.
Let's just say Manuel is not a rookie phenom. He's held his own and that's about it.
Geno Smith has been a disaster this year, as the Dolphins saw for themselves Dec. 1 when he posted an 8.3 QB rating against them and was benched in a loss at MetLife Stadium.
Smith has thrown 21 interceptions. He's had five games in which he's failed to complete even 50 percent of his passes. He's had only one game where he's thrown more TDs than INTs in a game and that came Oct. 7. He's the lowest-rated NFL quarterback among starters with a 62.9 rating.
So he's not exactly the biggest challenge the Dolphins have faced this season.
All that should encourage a Dolphins fan. All that plays to the Dolphins' benefit.
Now, if the Dolphins can only do to the youngsters what they've done to far better quarterbacks -- namely, beat them -- everything will be good for Miami.

Are you a manager pursuing competitive advantage in a challenging market with rising environmental and social pressures? Has your organization's "CSR" or sustainability function failed to deliver tangible results?
In this program, you will learn how any organization can embed sustainability for value and profit. Many of the best-run organizations face new environmental and social demands, yet fail to capitalize on the opportunities they create because sustainability is seen as a distraction from core business objectives.
The program is aimed at small and mid-size organizations pursuing sustainability as a way to be more successful, rather than only 'green' or socially responsible. Learn to reframe sustainability as a source of profit, rather than a cost or moral obligation. Distinguish between bolt-on and embedded sustainability, drawing on compelling examples of leading companies. Discover the benefits of going beyond regulatory compliance and explore cutting edge management concepts from Michael Porter, Blue Ocean Strategy, and disruptive innovation as they apply to the challenges of embedding sustainability.

Zarkana,a visually stunning modern acrobatic spectacular, began its residency at ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas on November 1 following hugely successful engagements at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, Arena Madrid and Moscow's Kremlin State Palace Theatre.
Set in a world where physical ability meets the extraordinary of Cirque du Soleil, Zarkana, which TIME magazine proclaimed "the show of the summer" in New York City and The New York Times called "aah-inspiring," has been seen by more than 1.5 million people during its triumphant 2011-2012 international run.
The name Zarkana is a fusion of the words "bizarre" and "arcane" (arcane means "mystery" or "secret"). The twisted fictional world of Zarkana is an elusive destination that is fantastic yet bizarre. The name refers to the irresistibly odd and delightfully strange aura of this place and its inhabitants.
Zark, the ringmaster of an extraordinary circus coming back to life, guides us in an abandoned theatre populated by a motley collection of off-the-wall characters and incomparable acrobats. Zarkana is a visual vortex set in a twisted acrobatic fantasy universe where, little by little, chaos and craziness give way to a true celebration.
Zarkana is written and directed by François Girard, one of Quebec's most highly regarded creators who is equally at ease in cinema (Silk, The Red Violin), opera, visual arts and theatre and has earned an enviable international reputation over the years. A keen music lover, he is particularly known for the hybrid worlds he creates in which music plays a predominant role. His works are recognized for their great musicality, both in terms of sound and image.
The Creative Team
Along with François Girard, the creative team consists of the following distinctive talents:

JOLIET, Ill. — The Community Organization for the Police of Shorewood (COPS) is hosting its 19th annual Shorewood COPS fundraising dance, from 8 p.m. to midnight, Saturday, March 2, at the Elks Lodge banquet facilities, 250 S.E. Frontage Road, the intersection of U.S. 52 and Interstate 55 in Joliet.
The dance will feature the Take 3 Band, raffles and door prizes, as well as light hors d'oeuvres.
The Office of the Year will also be announced during the evening.
Tickets cost $5 per person and can be purchased from members of the organization, at the Shorewood Police Department, and at the door. The dance is open to the public.
Anyone wishing to donate an item for the raffle may do so by calling (815) 725-6479.
The Shorewood Police Department answered thousands of calls for service last year, many of them life or property threatening situations. COPS was established by a group of concerned citizens to provide moral support and additional funding for training and equipment above and beyond the annual budget.
COPS recently set up the Shorewood Police Benevolent Fund, which will help officers' families in case of death in the line of duty.
Purchases have included ballistic helmets, as well as a light-duty, covered trailer that will aid the department in increasing its community outreach abilities, as well as facilitate easier relocation of necessary equipment.
"We appreciate your support," said Ilene Stalnaker, COPS president. "Come out and enjoy the evening with your friends and neighbors. You will be glad you did."

So... they won't be selling support services for your privately hosted and operated, DIY OpenStack "cloud" implementations?
If I'm understanding that right I'm not sure that's news, even if it does say OpenStack in the title.
This more sounds like "We tried to play in the Open space where our cloud services could be more easily integrated with third party tools. We then discovered that we could just be forced into becoming a commodity player and we don't want that." What this means for customers is that Rackspace Cloud Services will become a closed framework that will purport to be "very easy to manage" but you won't be able to use any third party management solution tools to deploy more efficiently and to manage availability without going through our stack.
Next I expect to hear that they'll drop support for OVF because they "won't be able to deliver a robust experience for imported virtualized environments."
No, this isn't related to The Rackspace Cloud -- the public cloud services Rackspace offers. It's specifically relating to Private Cloud offerings at Rackspace. Two totally different things and different divisions of the company, in fact. What this means is that Rackspace will support Open Stack running on other's equipment -- but the flavor of Open Stack is limited. Just like Red Hat won't support Suse or Debian.
Your subject line question is best answered by others that have jumped into the OpenStack framework with products and support whose name isn't Rackspace.
Although Rackspace is seemingly closing their turf to competition, any reasonable customer outcry will have them doing a 180, and with good reason. They want to flip the bird at Citrix, fine-- Citrix can make a fine target. But it's not a closed framework, only the realization that overly broad support could distract them by costing them lots of $$ to reasonably support difficult stuff. I think it's a reasonable stop on RackSpace's part, although they could have been wiser about how they went about it.
I agree. While I fully believe that there are many at RackSpace who fully embrace the idea of OpenStack and the philosophy behind it, this situation seems like the classic case of idealism meeting business realities. Like any company, RackSpace wants to deliver a good product and a good user experience. It is much easier to do that when a company can focus support staff on a fixed offering. The reality is that resources are limited, and a company that tries to be everything for everybody is going to qui
I can see a "skunksworks" division, the prototype-farm, or something similar. Either no support, or heavy premium. It could be easily isolated and even VLAN partitioned off their main grid.
The skunkswork potential of AWS has made Amazon a small fortune, and I have no idea whether it's caused plausible destabilization of the AWS services offering. But it has a very nice "cool" factor. Rackspace, while "cool" in some ways, is a more hardened model. I can see why it would be reasonable to keep science projects
This is an internal support decision. As a customer of RCB, do you care if your private cloud is built on the Fedora packages or the Ubuntu packages? You don't manage it at that level, nor at the OS level, so what does it matter? As long as it meets the branding and operational requirements (ie, supports the proper APIs, etc) you have an OpenStack cloud and they don't have an exponentially growing support matrix.

Herb Alpert's inner jazzman has always been integrated within something more significant: a haunting, personal trumpet signature riding atop a melange of American and/or Latin components. Yet lately, his jazz roots have finally emerged into full view with a new CD, "Anything Goes" (Concord Jazz), and an intimately-scaled show with Alpert's wife, singer Lani Hall, and a small combo.
"Anything Goes" is a multiple landmark for Alpert – his first mainstream jazz album, his first album of any kind in 10 years, his first entire album with Hall (although they had collaborated in bits and pieces many times over the decades) and his first for a label that he did not co-own.
The whole project sprouted from an emotional guest shot that Alpert and Hall made with Hall's former employer, Sergio Mendes, at the Hollywood Bowl in June 2006 – which led to some casual gigs that were recorded for the album, and then this tour, which concluded in Arizona over the weekend.
The concert was booked on Disney Hall's Songbook Series rather than its Jazz Series, but the heading made sense, as "Anything Goes" – which provided the bulk of the material for the show — is mostly an anthology of standards from the U.S. and Brazil. The Alperts' arrangements often went against the predictable grain that we usually hear in these songs – like the desperation that Hall finds in "Let's Face the Music and Dance," or Alpert's refreshing, finger-popping deconstruction of "Till There Was You" and fast-samba treatment of "Laura." Hall also shined in some evergreens from her Brasil '66 days, her Portuguese still nimble and clear.
From a jazz perspective, Alpert never sounded as liberated as he does now. He gave himself lots of room to stretch out, alternating between muted and open horn, finding his heartiest swinging grooves in the Brazilian material. Yet he still exerts a lot of control over pacing and structure, conducting and cueing of his jazz piano trio.
Inevitably, Alpert's astonishing 1960s run with the Tijuana Brass came up; it had to, for Alpert was encouraging questions from the audience, and they were ready. Yet Alpert's way of dealing with the past is not unlike that of Bob Dylan – treating hits like "The Lonely Bull," "Tijuana Taxi" and "A Taste Of Honey" to radical re-arrangements – and he sprinkled quotes from other TJB favorites like "If I Were a Rich Man" and "What Now My Love" into the Brazilian-ized "Night and Day."
For Alpert – who usually follows Satchel Paige's trenchant line, "Don't look back, something may be gaining on you" – this was one way of doing something new while acknowledging history. And even in a large – and in this case, over-reverberant – performance space like Disney Hall, the show went over beautifully Friday night.

Cover shrinkage is a common consequence of improper pressing. The actual shrinkage will vary depending on several factors — but, without intervention, any shrinkage can lower the book's overall grade.
Cover shrinkage can occur from excessive humidity or multiple pressings, causing the cover to shrink side to side. Silver Age Marvels, particularly between 1960 and 1968, are most susceptible due to the poor quality of printing used at that time. The amount of shrinkage varies depending on several factors, such as what month the book is from, how it was stored during its life and the extent of pressing it received. Shrinkage can also occur naturally over time with no pressing involved.
Common shrinkage ranges from 1/64 inch to 1/16 inch, and excessive shrinkage up to 1/8 inch. Because it is difficult or impossible to always tell whether shrinkage occurred naturally or from pressing, CGC will treat excessive shrinkage similar to a manufacturing defect and downgrade accordingly. In some cases, shrinkage can be minimized or corrected with a light pressing.

CHESTER — Like many locker rooms across MLS, the Philadelphia Union's is a vast melting pot of cultures, languages and soccer philosophies.
In among the smatterings of English, Spanish and Portuguese, there's a language that pervades the Union's dressing room more than others: French. On the field this season, that French connection in attack may prove a focal point for the Union.
Last season, French was a common language in the communications of Sebastien Le Toux and Antoine Hoppenot. Adding in midfielder Vincent Nogueira, acquired this offseason from Ligue 1 side Sochaux, makes a triumvirate of francophones, all of whom figure to have important roles in the attack.
It's more than just oddity or coincidence; their common language has real ramifications on the field.
The first and most immediate involves Nogueira's adjustment to MLS. After six seasons with Sochaux, Nogueira has been tasked with rapidly adapting to a new country, new teammates and a drastically different style of play.
Having an anchor like the common culture shared with his colleagues has been valuable in helping him acclimate.
"It's great to have guys that speak French here, because it helps on the field and also off the field if I want to speak to management or the coach," Nogueira said Wednesday at practice at PPL Park, using Hoppenot as a translator. "It's great to have people who can understand me if I want to get something clarified. During the day, I try to speak a lot of English, but once in a while it's really nice to take a break and speak French with some of the players."
On the field, their shared language provides an opportunity to communicate freely, essentially encrypted from opponents.
"You can talk freely and you don't have to worry about anyone hearing what you're saying," Hoppenot said. "If you want to make changes, if you're going to tell them what you're going to do the next play, if you've been doing one thing and you want to switch it up the next time without the defense knowing what you're going to do, it's great to be able to talk and talk about the game and what you're trying to do in a language the defense isn't able to understand."
Despite the common backgrounds, each player has found his way to the Union by drastically different means. Le Toux spent several seasons on French youth teams, then two years in the French second division with Lorient before catching on with the Seattle Sounders in their pre-MLS incarnation. Hoppenot, Paris-born and Princeton-educated, had a more Americanized soccer upbringing. And Nogueira is the freshest from the European content, the 25-year-old creative midfielder spending his entire pro career with Sochaux, where he was once a teammate and supplier for American striker Charlie Davies.
Through those divergent paths, there's a commonality that may be French-born.
"I think we all pretty much have the same view on soccer," Hoppenot said. "I don't know if that's because we're French, but we three all have the same attacking sense where we kind of want to do the same thing, so it's been really great playing with those two."
That similarity could help bring out the best in Nogueira's game. Though he's had well over a month to work out with the club, the physicality of MLS will be a major adjustment for the 5-7, 140-pound midfielder. Nogueira is hoping that his distinctly European slant on the game will help him differentiate himself in the league.
"Already, I felt like I was a little different in Europe because everyone was bigger and faster than I was," Nogueira said. "It's going to be even harder for me here because the league is bigger and faster, and I think I can bring a little technical, European style that's going to help the team grow."
For Hoppenot, playing with countrymen is a dream come true. He's grown up in the American ranks with his personal history as merely an interesting footnote. Every day with the Union, he's able to reconnect with that culture.
"It is somewhat surprising," Hoppenot said. "It's awesome. I always dreamed of playing with other French players, but I've played in the U.S. where I've only been playing with Americans pretty much. It's really cool being able to talk to them in French and hear their stories and hear what it was like when they were playing in France.''
It's great to have other people like that on the team because it makes it easy on me and it makes it easy on them."

So here are updates on four retail outlets that are planning to do business in the Loveland area, from a Mercedes dealership in Centerra to a new bar downtown.
Mercedes-Benz of Loveland
Last June, the owners of Mercedes-Benz of Westminster bought the former Ferrero Chrysler dealership in the Motorplex at Centerra for $3.5 million.
The new owners are busy renovating the 6-acre site at 4040 Byrd Drive and plan to open Mercedes-Benz of Loveland in mid-June, according to Kevin Steward, vice president and co-owner of the Westminster and Loveland dealerships.
"We have been servicing clients up in that area for the past 10 years and feel it is time to add another location up there," he said. "All the numbers made sense."
Included in the owners' calculations was the area's level of affluence.
"We certainly look at income per household, and Northern Colorado has grown to a point where it's comparable with cities that are within the Denver-metro area," Steward said. "Given that fact, it can more than sustain and support another luxury brand that's located right next door to the BMW dealership."
The location in northeast Loveland will be Colorado's fifth Mercedes dealership and the first for Northern Colorado in decades.
Steward said the dealership is recruiting and interviewing prospective employees and will employ 30 to 35 people when it opens.
The location will have 100 to 150 vehicles in the showroom and on the lot when it opens, he said. About half will be new.
In addition to iconic Mercedes-Benz sedans and SUVs, the dealership will sell Sprinter cargo vans.
Phone: 278-2300.
Bass Pro Shops
Bass Pro Shops, the nation's largest retailer of outdoor gear, announced in September that it would open a 117,000-square-foot store in east Loveland in late 2013.
But Northern Colorado shoppers will have to wait a bit longer, according to Jay Hardy, vice president and general manager of McWhinney, the developer that landed the retail giant.
Because Bass Pro Shops has been busy opening stores and developing new markets across North America, it has pushed the opening of the Loveland store back to the third quarter of 2014, Hardy said.
"But nothing has changed in terms of their commitment, etc., on coming to the project, just the timing," he said.
In conjunction with the store, McWhinney plans to build a hotel, three restaurants, a bank and a convenience store on the site northeast of Interstate 25 and U.S. 34.
That development also will be delayed, Hardy said. "Most of them are scheduled to come online together."
South Fort Collins Walmart
The renovation, expansion and reopening of a closed Walmart store in south Fort Collins is almost complete, but the company won't quite hit its anticipated opening date of April 10.
New target date: April 24.
Store manager Jeff Plumb said a problem with underground moisture was causing the new floor tiles to bubble and crack, so crews are working around the clock to block the moisture and replace all the tiles in the 95,000-square-foot store.
"It's built on a creek, and a lot of moisture comes up from the ground," he said.
The store at 4625 S. Mason St., southwest of College Avenue and Harmony Road, closed Sept. 18, 2007, the day before the north Loveland store opened.
Walmart has built 13,000 square feet onto the 82,000-square-foot "small" store and added groceries. Still, the location will be about half the size of a 196,000-square-foot Supercenter.
Plumb said many consumers welcome a less overwhelming large Walmart experience. "It's a great size," he said.
The store, still considered a Supercenter, won't have automotive services or an outdoor lawn and garden section, but it will offer "everything you would see in a normal Supercenter" - just less of it.
The 24-hour store has scheduled an opening ceremony for 7:30 a.m. April 24, a ribbon-cutting at 8 and giveaways and special events through the first weekend.
Phone: 372-3477.
Encore Lounge
Sebastian Birch hopes to bring "a little more life" to Loveland's nightlife with a new lounge downtown.
His project, too, is taking longer than expected.
Last fall, he had hoped to open at 314 E. Fourth St. sometime after the first of the year. That general estimate has moved to "hopefully summer."
"We're just working on getting licenses and getting everything put together so I can open right," he said.
Birch plans to split the 2,600-square-foot space into a quiet, romantic area in the front and a livelier section in the back with a stage for jazz and comedy acts.
In between, he needs to build a kitchen, which is requiring lots of paperwork, he said.

Didier Drogba has gone to the extraordinary length of presenting his former Chelsea team-mates from last season's Champions League final victory with individual rings to commemorate the triumph, reports The Independent.
The Ivory Coast international hosted a dinner for the players and staff that contributed towards winning the trophy, and presented them with rings as a surprise at what is thought to be a cost of around £800,000.
"I wanted to give something to the team so we can all look back and remember that achievement," said Drogba, before singling out John Terry for special praise. "You're my hero and everyone at Chelsea loves you," he added.
Recently sacked manager Roberto Di Matteo was unable to attend the swanky event at Wyndham Grand Chelsea Harbour, which came just 24 hours after the side's last game in this year's Champions League, following the holders' group stage exit.
Drogba is back in London after the end of the Chinese Super League season, and is expected to train with Chelsea over the winter, as the 34-year-old looks to maintain his fitness for the African Cup of Nations in January.

GRANTS PASS, Ore. (AP) — An appeals court has upheld killing sea lions that eat too many salmon at Bonneville Dam on the Columbia River.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals had told NOAA Fisheries Service it needed to do a better job of explaining why it was authorizing the killing of dozens of sea lions, which are protected by the Marine Mammal Protection Act. And on Friday the court affirmed that the latest explanation filled the bill.
The court said the service examined the relevant data, and explained the rationale behind killing up to 92 sea lions a year to reduce the loss of threatened and endangered salmon.
The Humane Society of the United States had challenged the killing, arguing that fishing and the dams kill far more salmon than sea lions.

To me, there's something hot about someone pulling a dick, dildo, anal bead, etc. out of their ass and for a moment a white gooey substance sometimes drips out out the guys hole. Obviously it's the mucus that's inside the anus but I like to pretend it's cum. Real come dripping or even squirting out of a guys puckered asshole is even hotter.
For example, watch at 03:01, watch this guys asshole after he pulls out the last anal bead...something drips out of of his asshole and GOD does that get me hard.

Beast Bullpen!
I am still in shock. The Yankees actually signed a big free agent! And I am ecstatic! Some think it was a dumb decision, some think the Yanks overpaid, but I DON'T CARE! It just means the world to me that they actually did something – something worthwhile. With this one signing, I feel a whole lot better about next year for my Yanks.
The Yankees recently signed former Ray's closer Rafael Soriano to a 3 year, $35 million deal. Expensive? Yes, but Soriano had a remarkable season in 2010 with a 1.73 ERA and a league leading 45 saves, so I'd say he's worth it. Who cares if he's setting up? I hate when people say "Ohh the Yankees are so dumb to pay that much for a setup man." WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE? What, like they are going to use Soriano as a closer while they have Mo? Come on. The job of setup man is extremely underrated. It's incredibly important. And since Soriano was amazing last year, and he said he wouldn't mind being the setup guy for the Yanks, I'd say he's worth every penny.
Rafael Soriano makes the entire Yankees pitching staff better. And I know I'm really excited, so that might sound like an overstatement, but it's really not. Soriano makes the whole bullpen stronger. He has a defined role: he is the setup man, and that's final. The 8th inning belongs to him. And of course, the 9th is Mo's. Remember what seems like a long time ago when the Yankees signed Pedro Feliciano? He's a lefty specialist, which means Boone Logan might be able to pitch full innings, since the Yankees will still have another lefty reliever. So maybe the 7th can be Logan's inning.
What I'm attempting to say, is that the acquisition of Rafael Soriano helps to shorten games. Pitchers, good pitchers, have defined roles. Now, that starting rotation that seems oh-so shaky, doesn't have to worry about pitching really deep into games. They know they can go maybe 6 innings and still put the team in a position to win. I'd love it for the Yankees to bring in maybe 1 or 2 guys for the starting rotation, but even if they don't, I'm feeling a lot better about the team. These relievers are going to make the starting rotation better.
Another reason I LOVE the Soriano acquisition, is because I think he will help Mariano Rivera. Trevor Hoffman, the all-time saves leader, has retired. Mo is second on that list, even though he's still the greatest closer. Since Soriano is so good, and the 8th inning is pretty much his, he can give Mariano more opportunities to save games, whereas when the 8th inning belonged to Joba Chamberlain, save opportunities were flushed down the drain because Joba SUCKED and blew everything. Mariano has 559 saves, Hoffman has 601. Mo will play for at least 2 more seasons…I'd say it's safe to say that he will eventually be the Saves King.
And speaking of JOBA…I heard the Yankees are willing to listen to trade offers involving Joba if a viable starter looms at the other end of the deal. So that's good…maybe we won't have to worry about Joba Chamberlain stinking anymore, because he might not be on the team!
Spring Training is coming but I wish it would hurry up. This offseason has been really boring aside from the Rafael Soriano signing. I miss baseball so much. Without it, I'm bored. So to entertain myself as well as others, I've been doing piano covers of Green Day songs. So if you like Green Day or just want to hear how AMAZING I am at piano, please check out my Youtube videos: http://www.youtube.com/user/southernbelle816?feature=mhum
I'd appreciate it.
And thanks to my readers for making me #28 on the 2010 Top 100 Blogs list. I finally got my little badge 🙂
