FDA Approves New Tattoo Removal Methods
Should rapper Gucci Mane ever want to remove his ice cream cone tattoo or any of the other permanently-inked designs on the right side his face and forehead, he would be pleased to hear that the Food and Drug Administration has added tattoo removal options with greater benefits for African Americans.
New methods for tattoo removal or significant lightening with improved light-based lasers have been approved by the agency. The new technology builds on the pulsed-laser technology already used for two decades by Americans with skin bearing unwanted tattoos, such as the name of an old flame still borne long after the smoke has cleared.
The new lasers require a prescription, and add to the arsenal of methods currently used to rid the skin of the permanent inks, which include sanding down the top layer of the epidermis, or cutting out the section of skin tattooed and stitching un-inked sections back together.
"These lasers utilize a phenomenon called 'selective photothermolysis,' which is the specific targeting of ink pigments by the laser energy," Michelle Bolek, a spokeswoman for the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health, said in an e-mail to the AFRO.
"This method is often preferred by patients and physicians due to less 'down-time,' although they do require multiple rounds of treatment to lighten a tattoo to a point where it is not noticeable," she said. "For the tattoo removal lasers currently on the market, blue and black colored tattoos are usually the easiest to remove, red and yellow or multi-colored tattoos might require more treatments."
The company Cynosure announced in December that its latest tattoo removal device, PicoSure, would come online early this year. The machine has shown it can remove 94 percent of a black or green tattoo during a test of 22 men and women.
"Physicians that work in the laser care industry have been waiting for something like this," said Yelena Grek, 40, a registered nurse who has cared for patients having tattoos removed at the Maryland Laser, Skin, and Vein Institute in Hunt Valley for four years. "It has been improving over the years and it is very effective. It can take up to fifteen treatments based on the ink used and the length that the tattoo has been on the skin."
Grek said that the TriVantage laser is another one of the most recent products put on the market, and is able to treat all color ink and skin types.
"In the past, we had different lasers and some of them had the ability to only treat lighter skin types and it was difficult to treat darker skin types," she said. "Now we have new lasers that have different wave lengths. They are very powerful and have the ability to treat multiple colors for every skin types. It saves time for the patient and the provider."
The FDA regards the ink used in tattoos as cosmetics, putting it on a list of monitored products which also includes the medical devices used to remove the ink.
There are other ways to remove tattoos that are not FDA approved, such as skin creams available online. However, the FDA warned that these products could produce an array of side effects, ranging from skin irritations to scarring—also a reaction to lasers for some individuals.
According to polls conducted last year by Harris Interactive, an international market research company, one out of five Americans reported having at least one tattoo. That number is a jump from the 14 percent of citizens who had inked skin in 2008.
The same study said that more women than men chose to express themselves through the art form, and 26 percent of respondents in the Western part of the United States had tattoos, more than any other part of the country. Thirty percent of inked Americans said their tattoo boosts their self-esteem by adding to their sex appeal. Most of those with tattoos fell in the 30 to 39 age range.

Between Golani Junction and Kedarim Junction, one moment before you glide into Nahal Tzalmon, are two graves that once belonged to great sheikhs but converted to Judaism and became the graves of righteous Jews
Seffi Ben Yosef

Tzalmon river (Photo: Anette Besov)
So the name Habakkuk, which means a fragrant mint plant, is the basis of the foolish identification of the grave of Sheikh Yakuk with the figure from an unknown time period and of unknown origin who "wrote" an entire book of prophecy in three parts. The somewhat embarrassing fact that he has no connection to this place other than two "k's" and a "u" has never led to questioning by those who took advantage of the flight of the villagers of Yakuk to convert the dead man to Judaism and attribute miracles to him.
Getting there
Drive on road number 70 between the Golani Junction and the Kedarim Junction. Very near to the spot where the road crosses the channel of the national water carrier, on the 88th kilometer, some 2 kilometers south of Kedarim Junction, is a brown sign pointing to a short road of several dozen meters. It ends in a large parking area right above the grave and the large trees.
Going down to Ein Nun
Cross the road, go through the fence (a bit difficult, but not impossible) and go down to the magnificent Ein Hokuk, which flows from an ancient springhouse.
They reign supreme
Idra is the place where Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai and his disciples lived, and where they worked to discover the secrets of the universe and the hidden Torah. It is the place where he revealed to them his secrets, and so holy and awe-inspiring is it that three of the ten died from the intensity of the event.

Los Angeles Area RV Camp in California
Wilderness Lakes RV Resort and Campground is a flat, 80-acre RV Resort in California with fishing canals that weave throughout the park. As a centrally-located RV camp, it is close to shopping, hospitals and freeways in California's Los Angeles region. The surrounding area has been changing quite dramatically with housing projects on two sides and dairy farms on the other. The temperatures are mild in the winter and warm to hot in the summer, making Wilderness Lakes a perfect RV campground no matter what time of year.
At Wilderness Lakes RV Resort and Campground, we have a total of 523 sites, which include rental units and cabins. Our general store is open five days a week for all of your convenience needs.

Estrogen Receptor Assay
The ER or estrogen receptor assay is a test done on fresh tissue obtained from the breast to see if a tumor is likely to respond to endocrine (hormonal) therapy. It is done under a microscope to determine the predicted outcome of breast cancer and also how well the cancer will respond to hormone therapy. Tumors with a positive ER assay are much more likely to respond to hormone therapy than tumors that have a negative ER assay.
In addition to breast tumors it is often performed also on specimens of endometrial tumors (cancer of the uterus), adenocarcinomas, and metastatic carcinoma (tumors which have spread from the area in which they started). Often a progesterone receptor assay will be included with the ER. Together, the (PR & ER) are more helpful in determining the prognosis and treatment needed than alone.
All hormone use and anti-estrogen preparations should be stopped two months prior to biopsy as this may show up as a lower receptor level.
Negative: Less than 5% of the cells stain for receptors
Positive: Greater than 5% of the cells stain for receptors
Ranges for normal findings may vary among different laboratories and hospitals. You should always check with your doctor after having lab work or other tests done to discuss the meaning of your test results and whether your values are considered within normal limits.
Your caregiver will go over the test results with you and discuss the importance and meaning of your results, as well as treatment options and the need for additional tests if necessary.
It is your responsibility to obtain your test results. Ask the lab or department performing the test when and how you will get your results.

Growing up, my mom made a lot of meals that seemed like they took so much work! She sure as heck fooled me!
I adore meals that taste like a million bucks, please the family and are so easy and quick to make. This was of the many meals my mother passed down to me that has stuck around and has my hubby smiling from ear to ear :)
These are packed full of meat, BBQ sauce, and cheese… everything my husband adores. It is a man pleaser meal… but I think my 3 year old scarfed her portion down faster than my husband did… and that is saying something because my husband scarfed down his pretty dang fast. Every time I make this dinner, my husband "ooo"s and "awe"s with every bite. If you were sitting in listening to him eat it you might think he hadn't eaten in days.
- 1.5 lbs. ground beef
- 1 (18 oz.) bottle BBQ sauce, I love Sweet Baby Rays
- 1 cup shredded cheese, divided (I use Cheddar or Colby Jack and Monterey Blend)
- 1 box refrigerated Pillsbury Pie Crust
- Cook ground beef in a skillet until browned and cooked through. Drain out juices.
- Pour BBQ sauce into pan and stir until ground beef is evenly coated.
- Unroll both sheets of refrigerated pie crust dough. Cut each of the round pie crusts into quarters (or smaller if you want smaller sections)
- On one quarter of pie crust dough, put ¼ of ground BBQ beef (about ¾-1 cup.) Then sprinkle on ¼ cup shredded cheese over top of the beef. Place a second quarter of pie crust dough over the top (make sure it lines up with bottom quarter) and pinch seams to seal off. You can flute the pie crust edges for a prettier look.
- Repeat until you have 4 pie pockets (or more if you cut your pie crusts into smaller sections). Cut about three small slits on the tops of each pie pocket for breathing.
- Bake at 425 degrees F for 25 minutes or until tops are golden brown.

Good Morning:
Next week, as we have done for the past 25 years, Tulane will join Xavier, Loyola and Dillard universities in celebrating the life and dream of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. through community service, song, dance and unity.
The 25th Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Week for Peace will also honor civil rights icon Ruby Bridges who, at age 6, became a symbol of the civil rights movement when she integrated William Frantz Elementary School in New Orleans. I am looking forward to meeting Ruby and to all the events of this special week.
I am so proud that Tulane is a visible participant in our community's annual honoring of Dr. King. While so much progress has been made toward realizing his dream, more work is left to be done. In so many ways Dr. King's message is as important today as it was on that summer day in 1963 when he proclaimed it to the nation.
But even if 47 years seems like a long time to wait for a dream to come true, we should have hope. As Dr. King said in his famous "I've Been to the Mountaintop" speech the day before his death: "I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land."
Have a great Week of Peace,
Office of the President Emeritus, 1555 Poydras St, Suite 700, New Orleans, LA 70112 504-274-3638 email@example.com

This promotion is currently limited to players that currently play ChefVille, but haven't played FarmVille 2 in quite some time. If you're an active player in both games, then you likely won't find this promotion waiting for you in your game. If you fall into this promotion's required group, you'll see a pop-up like the one pictured here, which asks you to head back into FarmVille 2 and make some progress.
If you grow at least 100 What in FarmVille 2, you'll be given a free Rapid Rosemary and one 1-Hour Thyme spice back in ChefVille. If you continue to play FarmVille 2 and level up in that game three times, you can come back to ChefVille and receive two Instant Thymes and two Salvage Sages.
Unfortunately, leveling up in FarmVille 2 is a time-consuming process, and if you weren't playing FarmVille 2 before this promotion, it's unlikely that you'll dedicate that much time to the game again, just for some free Spices. The Wheat promotion, however, can be completed in less than a day, and is actually worth your time. Who knew that quitting a game could be so profitable?

He is possibly the only god in India who owns so much land 25,711 acres but Lord Jagannath is struggling to get part of it back from encroachers.
Lord Jagannath, presiding deity of the 12th century temple in Puri, is listed as a landlord in the Orissa governments revenue records. He reportedly owns 56,000 acres, of which at least 25,711 acres is registered against the name of Sri Jagannath Mahaprabhu Bije, Puri in the states land revenue records. The temples managing committee headed by the Puri king manages the land on behalf of the deity. The lands are spread over 23 of Orissas 30 districts as well as states such as Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh.
But the land mafia, allegedly helped by bureaucrats and corrupt politicians, is believed to have parcelled away at least 20 per cent of his recorded land in Orissa. Chief administrator of the temple Arvind Padhee, a senior IAS officer, decided to strike back early this week. The temple administration cleared 250 acres in Jatni area near Bhubaneswar and Delang area of Puri district. The land is worth an estimated Rs 500 crore.
When I started clearing the area, there were goons all over the place. But we were determined to clear it, said Padhee, who as revenue divisional commissioner, central division, has been trying to get the lords land records updated. Among the alleged encroachers was the son of a former Assam governor, whose stone crusher was obscuring the landscape. The anti-encroachment teams bulldozers razed a rice processing mill, a housing society, a market complex and several dhabas that had mushroomed over the land. A head clerk working at the temples Jatni office, who was found guilty of conniving with the land mafia, was suspended.
Officials said the encroachers had sought to justify the land-grabbing, saying it had been authorised by the endowment commissioner under the Orissa Hindu Religious Endowments Act, 1951. But Padhee cited section 16(3) of the Shri Jagannath Temple Act, 1954, which says any transfer of immovable property recorded in the name of Lord Jagannath of Puri by any person including any institution would be null and void. As per section 2(1) of the temple Act, the provisions of the Hindu religious endowments Act are not applicable to the temple except with respect to actions taken, things done and contributions levied as such.
Padhee said the temple administration is now planning

Hydration and Exercise: How to Get It Right
Pack in some protein and carbs
While exercising is good for you, it's common to incur some minor cell or tissue damage after a workout. Proteins can help repair any damage, so Clark recommends rehydrating with a protein-rich drink after an especially intense workout.
But it's not just about protein, she says. Because you expend substantial amounts of energy when exercising, "you want about three times more carbohydrates than protein," which is why she recommends flavored milk as fluid replacement.

During testimony Wednesday before the House Appropriations Energy and Water Subcommittee, U.S. Department of Energy Secretary Steven Chu defending the process by which his FY 2011 budget request of $28.4 billion will help the U.S. lead in the '21st century global economy.'
"It's going to create new clean energy jobs, expand the frontiers of science, reduce nuclear dangers, and help curb the carbon pollution that threatens our planet," said Chu.
Concerns were raised about the future of Yucca Mountain and the creation of a second nuclear waste site.
"We have known for years that a second repository was going to be needed, but that shouldn't make us throw away billions of tax and rate payer dollars dedicated to building the first one," said Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen (R-N.J.). "Scientific opinion was that Yucca Mountain was a good choice. From where I am sitting, the scientific consensus hasn't changed one bit, nor has the expressed will of Congress or this subcommittee. It is politics that has changed."
Chu responded that due to the Obama Administration's intent to close down Yucca Mountain, his department had began to look at the expense of closing the waste site.
Other members of the committee, including Frelinghuysen, explained to Chu that his budget plan is merely a 'request' until Congress approves it.
"Mr. Secretary let me perfectly clear, there will be no authority granted unless Congress grants it," said Frelinghuysen. "The dollars we appropriate are not yours, nor the President's, but belong to the people we represent. This committee by law will determine how they are spent."

A lobbying firm with connections to the Department of Justice and DNA testing companies has helped drive expanded use of DNA evidence, the investigative Web site Pro Publica finds.
The firm, Gordon Thomas Honeywell Governmental Affairs,has close ties to Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), Pro-Publica says. Its vice president is Christopher Asplen, a former Assistant U.S. Attorney in the District of Columbia specializing in DNA. According to his bio, he served as executive director of the National Commission on the Future of DNA Evidence under Attorneys General Janet Reno and John Ashcroft. The commission is part of the National Institute of Justice under the DOJ's Office of Justice Programs..
From the story:
The firm, Gordon Thomas Honeywell Governmental Affairs, lobbies the Justice Department and lawmakers on behalf of the world's leading producer of DNA testing equipment. Despite that relationship, the Justice Department awarded Gordon Thomas Honeywell a no-bid grant in 2002 to do a key study (PDF) on backlogs that has helped shape the government's DNA policies — policies that have benefitted the firm's private clients.
The firm later worked on four additional DNA-related projects for the federal government. All of them were commissioned by the National Institute of Justice, or NIJ, the research arm of the Justice Department that recently came under fire for its lax oversight (PDF) of the nation's crime labs.
But Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) is skeptical. At his direction, the Justice Department's inspector general is investigating whether NIJ awards its grants fairly and openly.
None of Gordon Thomas Honeywell's employees are forensic scientists, but the firm's credentials were well known to NIJ. A Gordon Thomas Honeywell vice-president, Christopher Asplen, spent four years at the Justice Department as an assistant U.S. attorney specializing in DNA. And on three of its government assignments, the firm has partnered with a Florida nonprofit that is led by a former NIJ employee.
Justice Department spokeswoman Susan Oliver said the government has hired Gordon Thomas Honeywell "to take advantage of their expertise in DNA policy" — and not because of the firm's ties to NIJ.

It requires independent recommendations from nationally and internationally known scholars in the candidate's field.
Please click here to review our Distinguished Professor Policy.
Mark Hussey
Mark Hussey, Professor of English on the New York City campus, is an eminent and internationally renowned Virginia Woolf scholar. Professor Hussey's early work established Woolf as a serious thinker in a philosophical tradition, and highlighted her views on war and pacifism. His current work involves the study of modernism's print cultures, and the digital humanities. Supported by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, Professor Hussey has just completed a project working with scholars across the country creating a digital archive of Woolf's To the Lighthouse.
Professor Hussey has brought international attention to Pace for the past thirty years through his scholarship, as well as many contributions within the Pace community. He is founder and editor of the Woolf Studies Annual, published by Pace University Press since 1991.

There is so much awesome feminist writing online; taking it all in could be a full-time job. It's always saddened me, though, that the vast majority of feminist-friendly content is written by women. Of course, I think women should be at the forefront of the women's liberation movement, but I'd love to see more men jump in the ring to smash patriarchy.
So I'm delighted that pro-feminist men's site XY Online has recently relaunched. I admire this endeavor because it's not an attempt to take charge on "women's issues." Instead, the writers implore men to think about the construct of masculinity and they ways in which sexism negatively impacts both men and women. XY, "inspires men to develop respectful, trusting, and egalitarian relations with women, to promote equitable and liberatory ways of living and being, and to join with women in projects of gender equality and social justice," in the words of founder Dr. Michael Flood.
Good stuff. Leave links to your own recommendations if you've got 'em!

These charming miniature Dancing Lady orchids are native to the Caribbean and surrounding areas, including the Bahamas, Cuba, Florida, and Puerto Rico. Formerly know as Equitant Oncidiums this easy growing group loves warm bright weather . Bloom colors range from bright cheerful reds, oranges and yellows to delicate pastel pinks, cream and lavenders. Most carry darker markings or spots in interesting patterns. Most will flower in the later winter and early spring, though some varieties can bloom freely year round with the right care.
Light and Temperature: Grow these in bright light, with good air movement. The brighter the light the more air must be supplied to avoid burning. Generally 2000-3000 foot candles is sufficient. Some blushing or freckles on the foliage is normal in bright light conditions but if your foliage is a deep red-purple move in to less light.
Potting and Growing Media: Tolumnias are truly epiphytes and must be grown in a fast draining media to avoid rotting the tiny roots. There is no one mix that works best but we have found two different ways that have good results. The first is a sphagnum moss media mixed with Spongerock, tree fern and charcoal. This keeps the mix very open while retaining some moisture. Even though this mix can hold water for long periods of time these should not be kept with wet feet. Wait until the media dries completely and then drench thoroughly. The other is a loose mixture of chunks of tree ferns and charcoal. This media with need watering much more often than the first but you are not as likely to have stale media from overwatering. You can also grow Tolumnias mounted on pieces of cork, tree fern slabs or other substrate.
Watering and Fertilizing: As stated above, allow the roots to dry before watering again. Depending on your conditions this could be every 2-3 days or once a week. Watch new purchases closely for the first week or so to gauge what you schedule might be. Generally, we fertilize ours every third or fourth watering with a balanced food such as Grow-More 20-10-20. The more often you water the more often you can fertilize. During the warm growing months fertilizer can be applied as often as once per week. Increasing the humidity around your plant will mean watering less often and also increase the life of your blooms.

Try these on before you buy 1/2/2014
I have tried on other beats headphones but had not tried this specific model before purchasing. They pinch my head and give me a headache after even a few minutes of use.
Review 12/26/2012
Ok first of all these headphones are AMAZING. Great quality for everything. And what i'm about to say might not apply to everyone but these headphones cost a FORTUNE. $400 for headphones, REALLY?
The price could have been maybe 250 at the most but $400 is way too much.
very nice 6/3/2012
I love this headset. It has great bass response and great audio. Many people complain that although the bass is good, the mids and highs are muddy.
this nice 3/30/2012peter from orlando FL
this nice for a headphone

Celebrity Pregnancy
Pregnant Teresa Palmer Shows Off Her Bare Baby Bump in Underwear (PHOTO)
At five months pregnant, Teresa Palmer is all about celebrating her changing shape. The Warm Bodies actress flaunted her growing bump in a recent photo, which her fiance Mark Webber shared on Instagram.
"The love of my life @tez_palmer, with the other love of my life growing in her beautiful belly," Mark wrote. "Anything and everything is possible with love... Thank you Teresa Palmer for showing me that anything is possible. For showing me that true love exists and that I'm worthy of that love... Sharing and living life with you by my side = blissed out peace."
Teresa couldn't be happier to show off her changing body, but she hasn't always been as confident about her shape. In the most recent issue of Australia's Who magazine, the 27-year-old opens up about her previous struggles with her weight.
"A few years ago I was exercising so much and I just wasn't nourishing my body in the right way. I looked great on the outside but I wasn't healthy on the inside. I was so skinny that I couldn't have gotten pregnant if I tried."
Teresa admits she's had her challenges, but says that pregnancy has helped her adopt a more positive attitude. "I [feel] so proud that my body is growing this healthy human being. We need to be celebrating our bodies more. I want to lead by example and encourage others to let go of that obsessiveness."

Suzie's the Foodie's Beef, Black Beans & Rice
I have been making this dinner for well over 10 years. I figured it was time to share it on my blog. This was my first favourite dinner. After coming home from work, trying all sorts of recipes from cookbooks and the internet and being disappointed, this recipe kicked butt. It was easy, cheap and fast to make without sacrificing flavour.
The recipe is no longer online and I have switched it up a lot over the years so it is more important than ever to get it on my blog. I do not know what I would do if this recipe disappeared!
Up until recently I was making rice in a rice cooker. It took me years to find a technique that I thought made it just as well.
For me and Reg I put one cup of scented rice in a medium sauce pan. Then I add two cups of water. Turn the heat to high until it starts to boil. Turn down the heat to medium low and cover with a lid. Cook for 15 minutes.
Fluff with a fork. I like to get the rice going right away and then just let it sit covered until the sauce is done.
Brown half a pound of ground beef that you have seasoned with salt and pepper. I use extra lean ground beef so I do not have to remove the fat. If you use a higher fat content beef, make sure to remove the fat, it dilutes the sauce's flavour. Then I add a couple of minced shallots and stir in for a minute or two.
If you prefer to use onion, go for it but add it before the beef is cooked through because it will take at least five minutes for the onions to cook.
I add in a couple of cloves of minced garlic and stir through for under one minute.
Then I add the sauce: 2 cups of your favourite spaghetti sauce or just tomato sauce (I use Prego), 2 tbsp of fresh lemon juice, 2 tbsp of mustard, 2 tsp of chilli powder and 1/4 cup of soy sauce. For those who like extra heat, feel free to add a little cayenne.
Add 1 can of cooked and rinsed black beans. Stir everything together.
I like to cook everything together for at least 15 minutes and then serve over the rice. Do not cover the pan. I used to do this and for some reason it changes the flavour of the sauce. Let it breathe and thicken.
We never get tired of this dinner and it always tastes even better the next day. My sister Jamie and her husband love this dinner too and have also been making it for years. When I was a vegetarian I used to cook the beef separately for Reg and have it with just the black beans which worked out so well.
I finally did it! Now this recipe is safely online and other people can enjoy it too.

Mmmm, anything beany and ground beefy with sauce is amazing over rice. This sounds divine! Making chili today actually with a big pot of rice as well, because it's actually a little chilly outside and we need some warm comfort food.

Hope Solo Marries Jerramy Stevens, Despite Arrest
November 15, 2012 05:00 PM by Lisa Princ
Yesterday, we learned that Hope Solo's fiance, Jerramy Stevens was arrested on suspicion of assaulting her. But today, we have learned that despite the arrest and all the speculation, the former Dancing with the Stars contestant has gotten married to Stevens.
Hope Solo is officially off the market! Despite all the allegations that she was assaulted by her fiance, Jerramy Stevens, the pair actually tied the knot yesterday! According to both Sportsradio 950 AM and 102.9′s Dave Mahler, Solo and Stevens were married. Mahler added on Twitter about the nuptials: "Events of yesterday morning didn't change plans."
And the radio personalities were not the only Tweeting the news. Hope Solo's teammate, Jillian Loydon, also took to Twitter to share: "Happy to witness such an amazing celebration of real love," referring to Hope's big day.
As for the domestic assault arrest, the pair went to court Tuesday, where Hope Solo denied that she was attacked by Stevens. Steven was then released as the judge felt there was not enough evidence. According to RadarOnline, authorities are still investigating, and if any new evidence is found, Stevens could be arrested.
Ironically, Solo and Stevens have only be dating for about two months, which leaves us all a wee bit confused as to why she tied the knot so quickly. Was it to make us all think that the assault really did not happen?
What do you think about Hope Solo and Jerramy Stevens getting married after only 2 months of dating? We know you have an opinion and we want to hear it! Comment below to share your thoughts with us.

Rathdowney Resources Ltd Snapshot
Rathdowney Resources Ltd.(RTH:TSX.V) is an exploration and development company focused on advancing the Olza zinc-lead-silver project in Poland through permitting and into production.
The company's principal asset is project Olza which is located in the Upper Silesian Mining District of southwestern Poland, a world-class region of Mississippi Valley-type deposits with well-developed mining infrastructure. Easily accessible by road, the Olza project site is a one-hour drive from Krakow, a major city with full services, including an international airport. The deposits at Olza are also approximately 30 kilometres along strike from the long-life Pomorzany zinc-lead mine and associated mining infrastructure at Boleslaw, which is accessible by rail.
Rathdowney's Phase I confirmatory drilling program built on the extensive historical drill database assembled by the Polish State Survey to delimit 21.2 million tonnes of inferred mineral resources, grading 7.42% combined zinc and lead , with excellent potential for expansion. Work by Rathdowney also indicates that there are significant silver concentrations in the Olza mineralization. A Phase II program is now underway, comprised of technical studies designed to advance project planning and permitting.
Project Olza
Rathdowney's Project Olza consists of three contiguous concessions - Zawiercie, Rokitno and Chechlo, covering an area of 150 square kilometres in the Upper Silesian Mining District of Poland.
The Upper Silesian Mining District is an area of world-class Mississippi Valley-type zinc-lead deposits that have been mined continuously since the 12th century, producing some 16 million tonnes of zinc and 4 million tonnes of lead.
As a result of its history, the region has excellent established mining infrastructure. Rathdowney's Project Olza is located only an hour's drive from the historic city of Krakow, and near to a rail head with access to concentrating and smelting facilities.
The Polish State survey carried out drilling in the area of Project Olza until 1988. This prior work has provided extensive geological and historical drilling information, indicating the presence of significant mineral deposits on which several historical estimates of the resources were completed under a Soviet-era classification system.
Rathdowney began a campaign of confirmatory drilling in mid-2011, designed to support resource estimates based on modern standards. This work was successful. An initial estimate, announced in September 2012, confirmed significant mineral resources in a portion of the property called the East Corridor.
A total of 955 diamond drill holes from historical and recent drilling (to May 2012) were used to establish the resource model that supports the estimate. These include 780 core holes drilled historically by the Polish State as well as 175 core holes drilled by Rathdowney. The results of the estimate at a range of cutoffs are tabulated below:
The Upper Silesian is a world-class district of Mississippi Valley-type (MVT) zinc-lead deposits. Most mines in the district are hosted by a flat-lying to gently dipping dolomite unit of Middle Triassic age called the Ore Bearing Dolomite (OBD).
The geology of Project Olza comprises folded Paleozoic strata, unconformably overlain by a nearly sub-horizontal Permian-Mesozoic cover. The OBD occurs throughout project-area. NNW trending, steeply-dipping faults and fractures related to the Krakow-Myszkow tectonic zone are thought to represent a fundamental control on the location of the zinc-lead deposits in the Middle Triassic unit. In places, mineralization related to these structures also occurs in the underlying Devonian-age strata.
Stratiform mineralization within the OBD is the predominant style at Zawiercie and Rokitno. Drilling has shown that it occurs at depths generally ranging from 150 to 250 metres within the Rokitno and Zawiercie permit areas. The grade and size of the stratiform horizons is demonstrated by the initial mineral resource estimate. At Chechlo, mineralization is known to occur within three stratiform zinc-lead mineralized zones hosted by the OBD, and also within Devonian carbonates underlying at least one of these zones, localized in one or several subvertical breccia pipes. At the local Pomorzany mine, these breccia zones are of significant size and grade and hence, they represent a compelling exploration target at Project Olza.
Zinc and lead occurs mainly in sphalerite and galena, with associated marcasite and minor calcite, dolomite and, locally, barite. Localized, high-grade zones (10-20% Zn+Pb) are fairly common in the area; the central parts of individual deposits are enriched in zinc over lead, whereas the opposite is observed at their margins. Ores of the Silesian district are also known to have relatively simple mineralogy and are generally regarded as being straightforward to beneficiate, yielding high metal recoveries.
The Olza Project is located in a relatively flat-lying partially forested area, at 300-350 metres elevation.
The property is situated between the major population centres of Krakow and Katowice in southeastern Poland. It takes about one hour to drive to the site from Krakow, a major city with an international airport and government offices.
There is also a network of paved roads providing excellent access throughout the region. A rail line extends near to the project site. The regional also boasts well-developed infrastructure, including smelting facilities, and a skilled workforce with modern mining expertise. The large operating Pomorzany underground zinc-lead mine and zinc refinery complex is located 10 km to the south.
Rathdowney has made a significant investment in Heatherdale Resources Ltd., currently holding a 16% interest in the company. Heatherdale owns the high grade polymetallic volcanic massive sulphide Niblack Project located in southeast Alaska. The Niblack Project is comprised of several deposits that have the potential to produce zinc and copper concentrates with high gold and silver values. Given its geological endowment and proximity to tidewater in a stable jurisdiction with a long tradition of hardrock mining, Niblack has the potential to support a high-grade underground mining operation in the near future.
The Lower Carboniferous carbonate rocks of the Irish Midlands host one of the great ore fields of the world. Rathdowney acquired several properties and conducted early stage exploration, including geophysical and geochemical surveys, and followed up by initial drill testing of priority targets. This work attracted the attention of a major mining company, which has taken an option to earn up to 100% interests in the Irish properties, with Rathdowney retaining NSR royalties on any future production.

Camden, N. J., Dec. 21, 1906.
To the Editor:
—The communication in The Journal, December 15, from Dr. George W. Webster, president of the Illinois State Board of Health, concerning the requirement that an applicant for the endorsement of a state medical license should have held the same for at least one year prior to its indorsement by a reciprocity state, is worthy of notice, both because Dr. Webster requests the pros and cons of the question and because of its interest to the profession. Dr. Webster states that after Jan. 1, 1907, the Illinois State Board of Health will not reciprocate with any state exacting this requirement. In this respect the Illinois State Board of Health has taken a proper stand.When a medical licentiate of a state presents his original state license, earned on examination, with due certification thereto, and can substantially meet in all other respects the

Buce 3 gallon BVS tank
Started a new nano for some BVS shrimp. I got a box full of buce and crypts in the mail this week and this driftwood just called for the buce. If you don't own a buce, you should. There is absolutely NO explaining or taking a picture of the amazing color on these plants. I only hope I can care for them as well as they deserve. Quickly jumped to the top of my favorite plants.
Still deciding on a permanent light for the tank, the tank came with a saltwater lightbulb so have to find a replacement for it. Please don't ask about the tank - NO endorsements will be given to the company that made it, even took the sticker off the front of the tank to avoid advertisements. It's a beautiful design with subpar silicone and horrible, awful customer service.
Plants - 6 buce plants of various species - these are new and I don't know all the species names yet, Need to find those out - 1 is a "Brownie Ghost" that was a complete and total present from the person that sent the package to me.
3 or 4 tiny buce babies that are growing out so I don't lose them in another tank.
Narrow leaf java fern - OVT brand
Mayaca- OVT brand - thank you friend
Unknown narrow leaf crypt
Rotala Mexican something - growing out from some that melted badly when shipped in a trade. Hopefully they continue to recover. Out of 20+ stems these are the only ones that survived.
Moss (my favorite)which I don't know the name of, vaguely looks like weeping moss on the fronds sandwiched inbetween 2 pieces of mesh and attached to the back of the tank with poster borders. I got this moss in a trade, tiny, tiny pieces that have since grown out like crazy and turned into a beautiful moss.
It needs a carpet plant but all I have are dwarf sag and s. repens which both will get to tall. Maybe will look into a e. hydropiper or monte carlo or something small along those lines for the front.
Will house Blue velvet shrimp and Blue Ramshorns and probably a few purple mystery snail babies. And possibly a few Malawa shrimp in the future when I get them from Soothing Shrimp.
And bonus shot of the other piece of driftwood in my 20 long Wild (not wild caught) betta Simorum home. Who are complete and awesome fish, grow to be about 5 inches long and can live peacefully together. We have 5 about an inch long, who are growing fast and quite little characters. Have huge personalities which I didn't expect from a wild (not wild caught). They haven't gotten big enough to color up yet but hopefully in 6-8 months we will have babies. They also got a few buce plants because I love them.
Looking good! Congrats on being bitten by the buce bug. No going back now :D
Tank is almost ready for shrimp. It's well cycled and I see tiny organisms in the water starting. Pretty sure I'm going to move the BVS in this weekend.
It dawned on me that the middle of the driftwood is hollow, I hope the shrimp don't take to hiding in there. I have to pull it out tonight and check, the tiny nerite I put into the tank yesterday is MIA, either he crawled out and I can't find him or he is inside the driftwood. Hope he didn't crawl out, beautiful orange striped tiger nerite.
The buces are all doing well without Co2, putting out new leaves regularly and the tiny ones I have growing out are growing slow but sure. The new leaves seem to have great color, not enough time has passed to really tell but I think they are going to be beautiful without Co2, even if not quite as vibrant a color.
Looking good peachii :D The shrimp may go in the middle from time to time but eventually, im sure you'll have enough in there that your always seeing them.
Love the B. simorum. Where did you get them? I'm fascinated by wild betta species and keep looking at that empty 20 long in my back room. You are giving me ideas.
Thanks Duck!
@H2Ogal - I got them from a breeder on Aquabid, they came in healthy and she sent 1 extra. I called her before we purchased and talked over water parameters and how she kept them. I planned to do a blackwater tank but these are F3 or 4 so are completely transitioned to normal water, no special requirements needed as far as blackwater tanks like actual wild caught which was great as I could keep the tank planted. They also do not eat their young and can be raised in the same tank as the parents. They have grown to about 1 1/2 now and have the biggest personalities. Their color will be coming in soon, probably another week or two and we'll get to see slightly what color they will be as adults.
I really should do a journal for them.
The blue velvet shrimp got moved into their new home today, busily exploring and scrubbing the plants and driftwood now!
The tank looks great! As someone above me started, don't worry to much about the hollow wood. The shrimps will use it to molt and stuff.
Ever find your nerite?
Nice tank. Big fan of buces myself!
What type of light are you using and any dosing?
BBXB - right now I'm using a Fluval light until we find a light fixture I like for it to sit on the table the tank is on. Will just be a simple CFL that can light the entire half of the table and tank so I can fill area on the table behind the tank with riparium style house plants. Couple drops of Flourish on water change day and root tabs for the crypts is all I am using right now.
A few of the buce leaves have melted a bit but I expected that since they came from a high CO2 tank, seeing new leaves pop up and they, as well as the rhizomes, look very healthy.
My tiny nerite snail made an appearance today in the tank so no idea where he was hiding, I literally tore the tank apart looking for him. So glad he's alive, made my day I was really upset about it. Now to decide if I want to leave him in that tank or move him to a tank with a lid. I was so upset, moving him would make sense, right?
Also have my first berried blue velvet. The eggs are interesting as they are whitish/blue color and not the same color as the red cherry shrimp or the pumpkin shrimp. newly berried so babies to come in a month or so. YAY!
Also have a few more melted buce leaves. I'm going to leave them in this tank for now but if any of the new leaves start to melt, I'll pull them out to a different tank and replace anubias petite on the driftwood instead. I really wish I could afford a stardust or white anubias to go in that tank, it would really look awesome in there. Goals are good to have though!
I'm thinking of attaching a strand of ivy to the top of the driftwood with fishing line and letting the roots grow in water - string the growth of the ivy over the driftwood and down the outside of the tank. I've been looking at it for a few days and I'm leaning towards doing that. Will probably set that up this weekend since I don't have any other plants that would grow the way i want them to across the driftwood and then switch it after I find something that would flower nicely.
Any update on how the buces?

Its nice to give them a hiding spot sometimes, they will do alot better when having babies. Fry like good places to hide also, I have a hollow tree and that is where my fry like to hide unless its feeding time.
So far the new leaves look really healthy and have good color. No melting on anything that has grown in since I got them and the rhizomes all look good. I have hope that they will be ok in this tank. The new leaves are all still small but I'm inspecting them daily and if any of the new leaves show signs of being unhappy i will pull them. I also starting very lightly dosing this tank as the shrimp and snails aren't putting off enough to help feed the plants. Just going with 2 drops every other day of PPSPRO ferts to start, start very small because i don't want to cause algae. The petchi crypts and mayaca already have root tabs and seem to be happy with great growth so far.
The buces I put into the 20 long with my wild Simorum bettas aren't showing any melting on the leaves and are popping out new leaves as well, which is a good sign.
My rechargable batteries aren't working for my camera but I'll get new pictures when we get new ones.

Scouted today and yesterday....No ducks...My lease is about 2 miles from beshels to the left of caquin bay and I saw maybe 20-30 ducks between both days....greys and dogree...sure isnt looking good
my lease is to the right of caquin bay
hopefully these fronts that r coming through push some birds down to our area
no feed for the most part = no ducks. I found during first split the ducks were here today and gone tomorrow. Just gotta be lucky and hit the fronts right. We did kill a wide variety in the first split : greys, dogris, bwt, mallards, wood duck, widgeon, hoodies. I will be fishing sunday and brushing up a few ponds but am not expecting a great second split.
When the weather is right there are alot of birds. Put it to you this way you dont want to know how many i seen when it was cold last week...however when it warmed up you just end up killing a few most of time.
Give me about 5 min and ill have some pictures for you....
12 dogree the rest all greys and a few teal bud
Rode it yesterday and rode it Tuesday. Birds are there, but like others have said in low numbers and aren't staying. That is what is so frustrating. Didn't scout hardly at all last year and tore them up. Scouted a TON this year and have killed a lot less. Aint much for them to eat so numbers are still down and will stay down. They're feeding on mudflats rather than the usual grass beds. Therefore where you hunted them last year is most likely useless.
Sure you all have noticed this too, the water is and has been staying high. Tuesday it was down. When water is low I see a lot more birds, when ponds are 3 feet deep its a pain to pin point them.
I rode Long Bayou and towards Coquin yesterday where you mentioned and saw a handful of birds between there and Lower Grand Bayou. Like always mostly greys, a few mottled, a few teal, few hoodies and some token dogs. Saw maybe a couple hundred birds, but I was out there all day and logged close to 25 miles.... Pretty much rode from American Bay all the way past BASS. This cold should help though. Whole Midwest and Artic was blue on weather channel, looked like a massive front. Will be in the 40's next week.
Hey duckhunter 777 keep up the good work. I enjoy your posts. Some people on this site are mean. Not sure why. I go to other sites in MS in FL as I hunt and fish there also. The people are nice for the most part. It must be a LA thing like litter. Like I said keep up the good work but don't be sooo hot on Biloxi Marshe because we all know it's not that great....right? Biloxi Marsh has seen its better days before MRGO and Katrina.


text: Have you ever thought about trying eyelash extensions? I have – and I've become borderline addicted. I'm so gaga over them that I'm giving this beauty service the coveted title of game changer. When it comes to length and thickness, my lashes are somewhat average. My major gripe is their colour. They're super light. Which makes me completely dependent on my mascara every time I leave the house. But now I can put down the mascara wand. Yesterday I had a full set of lash extensions applied at Concepts Salon and Spa in Toronto in preparation for my vacation to Texas. Everything's bigger in Texas, right? Why not?! Top: Before with no makeup. Bottom: After with no makeup. My Texas-size lashes were expertly applied by Samanna Globa, an esthetician at Concepts Salon and Spa. The process took about an hour and a half and was totally painless. Each lash extension is individually glued (using a special bonding adhesive) to your own individual lashes. Although some lash bars and spas use real mink hair, Globa applied synthetic extensions to my lashes. The down side to mink is that it looks too natural and can't give you the drama that synthetic lashes offer. Depending on the look you're after, you can have anywhere between 50 to 90 lashes applied, per eye. I think I had between 55 to 70 put in. With over five years of experience applying lash extensions, Globa has seen a recent surge in popularity with this service. "Everyone is just so busy," she says. "Once you have them on it simplifies your whole beauty routine." Her clientele ranges from teens to retirees, but the majority are busy business women. The most common reference point her clients use is Kim Kardashian. "I've had clients who have told me they don't want to look like Kim Kardashian," she says. "But the next time they come in they want more drama so they'll say 'Oh OK, we can go for the Kim Kardashian look,'" she says. Here are Globa's rules for keeping lash extensions looking lush. No contact with water for the first 24 hours. Be gentle when removing eye makeup. No tugging and twisting with a cotton pad. Instead, she suggests using a Q-Tip with a water-based makeup remover. Keep oily products away. Comb them out. They are likely to get criss-crossed at some point, so use a spoolie wand to keep them well groomed. Get them refilled every two-and-a-half to three weeks. My favourite part about having them? Waking up and feeling like I don't need to put on any makeup to look normal.

In June Tom Meyer will be presenting at the Creation Museum, reciting of the creation, of the world, the Garden of Eden, a talking snake, the first murder, men who lived to be 1000, giants, the flood of the world and the Tower of Babel. For an entire week he will be performing each day at 3:00 in the Museum's Special Effects Theater. These sessions will be a remarkable time as you listen to these chapters of ancient Biblical history that are so foundational to the rest of the Bible, and all Christian doctrine.
Tom is a student and missionary in Israel where he just finished up his second Master's Degree at Jerusalem University College and will be ministering in the states for duration until he weds in Jerusalem next year. He works with Wordsower International Ministries which tells the Word of God from memory in the Church and with the money raised supports Christian orphans and widows and missionaries like Tom. Tom's interest in memorizing books of the Bible began as a child, when he memorized the backs of baseball cards for fun. Now he can see how God used this mental hobby to prepare him for his current ministry.
These presentations take place at 3:00 each day June 21 through 25. Entry is free with paid museum admission or Museum membership. You can learn more about Tom Meyer at his website.
