CORRECTION FROM SOURCE: Imperial Reports Production for 2012 and Forecast Production for 2013
By: Marketwired .
Jan. 22, 2013 07:23 PM
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/23/13 -- This document corrects and replaces the news release sent earlier today at 6:19 PM EST. The 2012 annual production of silver of the Huckleberry Mine has been amended to 191,787 oz. The corrected version follows: Imperial Metals Corporation (TSX:III) reports its annual base and precious metals production from Mount Polley and Huckleberry(1) mines exceeded the 2012 forecast. Copper production of 51.3 million pounds exceeded the forecast by 2%, gold production of 53,525 ounces exceeded the forecast by 11.4% and silver production was 31.7% above the forecast totalling 211,995 ounces. Base and precious metals production(1)(2) allocable to Imperial in 2013 from the Mount Polley, Huckleberry and Sterling mines is anticipated to be 58.5 million pounds copper, 54,600 ounces gold and 195,000 ounces silver. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Planned ANNUAL PRODUCTION(1) 2013(2) 2012 2011 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copper (lbs) 58,500,000 51,345,600 47,865,426 Gold (oz) 54,600 53,525 44,274 Silver (oz) 195,000 211,995 204,861 Molybdenum (lbs) - 2,278 3,465 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- QUARTER PRODUCTION(1) 4Q 2012 4Q 2011 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copper (lbs) 13,906,525 11,903,715 Gold (oz) 13,635 12,399 Silver (oz) 56,797 50,742 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1) Represents 100% production from Mount Polley mine and 50% production from Huckleberry mine. (2) Refer to Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information. The Sterling gold mine commenced production in the 2012 second quarter, and produced 3,613 ounces gold by year end, which was not included in the 2012 forecast. In 2013 Sterling is expected to produce(2) 10,000 ounces gold. MOUNT POLLEY MINE OPERATIONS Throughput was up 5% from 2011 with over 8.1 million tonnes milled in 2012 compared to 7.7 million tonnes in 2011. Increased throughput, improved recoveries and better grades resulted in increased copper and gold production of 27% and 22% respectively from the levels achieved in 2011. Mount Polley is expected to produce(2) 38.5 million pounds copper and 43,000 ounces gold in 2013. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ANNUAL PRODUCTION 2012 2011 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ore milled (tonnes) 8,121,878 7,716,856 Ore milled per calendar day (tonnes) 22,191 21,142 Grade % - Copper 0.280 0.265 Grade g/t - Gold 0.304 0.272 Recovery % - Copper 67.40 58.70 Recovery % - Gold 65.70 62.90 Copper (lbs) 33,789,600 26,450,426 Gold (oz) 52,236 42,514 Silver (oz) 116,101 95,786 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- MOUNT POLLEY EXPLORATION Exploration in the fourth quarter included five drill holes at Cariboo, two drill holes at Quarry, nine drill holes in Springer and 21 underground drill holes at Zuke, for a total of 11,011 metres. Cariboo and Springer drilling was successful in upgrading and expanding these zones and has presented significant opportunities for further exploration below and adjacent to the current mine plan. Drilling from the Boundary underground workings that targeted the nearby Zuke zone provided additional confidence in the continuity of the copper/gold mineralization and determined the mineralized breccia body extends higher and further to the east. HUCKLEBERRY MINE OPERATIONS Recoveries continued to be excellent throughout 2012. Huckleberry's annual copper production of 35.1 million pounds exceeded the 2012 forecast by 6.4%. Imperial's share(1) of 2013 production(2) is estimated to be 20.0 million pounds copper. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ANNUAL PRODUCTION(i) 2012 2011 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ore milled (tonnes) 5,876,900 5,929,700 Ore milled per calendar day (tonnes) 16,057 16,246 Grade % - Copper 0.301 0.365 Grade % - Molybdenum 0.007 0.007 Recovery % - Copper 90.0 89.9 Copper (lbs) 35,112,000 42,830,000 Gold (oz) 2,578 3,520 Silver (oz) 191,787 218,150 Molybdenum (lbs) 4,556 6,929 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- (i) 50% allocable to Imperial. HUCKLEBERRY EXPLORATION In the fourth quarter, two drill holes totalling 1,183 metres were drilled adjacent to the Main Zone Optimization (MZO) pit. Drill hole MZDP12-8 was drilled between the Main and East zone ore bodies to test for the continuation of a mineralized zone, discovered earlier in 2012, to the south and east. Widespread ore grade mineralization was intersected to a depth of 560 metres. Drill hole MZOS12-1 was drilled just beyond the southern margin of the MZO pit to test for the continuation of high grade mineralization at depth. This drill hole intersected a mineralized zone that was larger than expected, with a significant zone of high grade material. Selected intercepts are provided in the following table: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Interval Interval Interval Target Drill Length from to Length Copper Molybdenum Zone Hole (m) (m) (m) (m) % % --------------------------------------------------------------------------- MZ Deep MZPDP12-8 665.38 209.40 559.92 350.52 0.226 0.002 incl. 346.56 425.81 79.25 0.382 0.002 incl. 520.29 550.77 30.48 0.297 0.003 MZO South MZOS12-1 517.25 306.93 465.43 158.50 0.310 0.009 incl. 358.75 398.37 39.62 0.594 0.013 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Imperial is an exploration, mine development and operating company based in Vancouver, British Columbia. The Company operates the Mount Polley open pit copper/gold mine and has 50% interest in the Huckleberry open pit copper/molybdenum mine. Imperial is developing its wholly owned Red Chris copper/gold property and the Ruddock Creek lead/zinc property (50% joint venture) and is operator of its wholly owned Sterling gold heap leach property.

Dario Dario Female?...
I've had a gorgeous male dario for a few months, and he's my favorite fish in the tank. I was at the fish store earlier today and saw they got a couple dozen new ones in. Most were brightly colored, but only a couple were smaller and pale. I decided to roll the dice and hope for a female. So far they want nothing to do with each other, but it's only been a few hours.
what do you think?... juvenile male, or female?

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
A classic (but characteristically crude) episode of South Park teaches us an important lesson about policy-making. The lesson repeats itself throughout a recurring series of teachable moments. Steven Horwitz and I discussed this in a column for the Freeman Online last year. It's a lesson that is worth repeating, and it's a lesson that has a lot of applications.
It's fair bet that a lot of the policy proposals that come into your field of vision are based on a view of the world more appropriate to the Underpants Gnomes from South Park than serious and reasoned discussion.
A bit of background is in order. The boys from South Park are due to give a presentation to voters in which they explain why the town should prevent a giant corporation ("Harbucks") from opening next to Tweek's Coffee, a local establishment. They encounter a group of gnomes who have been stealing underpants as part of a big plan, broken down into three phases:
Phase 1: Collect Underpants
Phase 2: ?
Phase 3: Profit
When the gnomes are pressed on the question mark and asked how, exactly, they get from underpants to profits, they don't have a good answer.
It works the same way with a lot of policy discussions. Consider virtually any problem that professional hand-wringers in the media and the academy worry about. The argument usually proceeds as follows:

By Wynne Parry, LiveScience Senior Writer:
What do you do with 5 tons of old toilets? The city of Bellingham, Wash., found a creative (and sustainable) answer: Make sidewalk.
A section of a sidewalk installed as part of a road improvement project replaces conventional concrete with so-called "poticrete," which contains crushed porcelain instead of gravel.
The pieces of old toilets, crushed into three-quarter inch (1.9-centimeter) pieces, replaces about one dump-truck load of gravel, which would otherwise come out of a hillside somewhere, and saves about 5 tons of material -- the toilets -- from a landfill, according to project engineer Freeman Anthony.
When crushed up, the porcelain looks and performs like rocks, Anthony told LiveScience. [Photos: Making of a Green Road]
The city used the poticrete in a small part of sidewalk in the the half-mile (0.8-kilometer) Meador Kansas Ellis Trail project in Bellingham. The project, which improved sidewalk and road along an existing corridor, is the first roadway construction project to earn a Greenroads certification. Greenroads is an independentrating system developed at the University of Washington to promote sustainable roadway construction, similar to LEED certification for environmentally friendly buildings.
The project, which was completed at the end of the year, also made use of about 80 tons of crushed, recycled concrete, and about 30 percent of asphalt laid down was recycled material. Porous concrete was included to reduce runoff, low-energy LED lights were added to reduce electricity use, and the project itself improved pedestrian and bicycle access.
The toilets came from the Bellingham Housing Authority, which had received a federal grant to replace its old toilets with more water-efficient, low-flow toilets. A local nonprofit, Sustainable Connections, helped the housing authority secure the grant, and the nonprofit called Anthony with the suggestion that the city make use of the porcelain.
The project's contractor, Larry Brown Construction Inc., installed the poticrete. The recycled materials used cost slightly less than conventional ones, Anthony said.
"The long and short of it is, there is a lot of useful material out there that can be used in public construction projects," he said.

Let's go back and haul out old 1970s Buffalo kicker John Leypoldt to do the honors. He lines up at the 30 following an offside penalty and only reaches the 10-yard line. Now is where you could use guys like Ellis Hobbs and Bethel Johnson.
ESPN has a cute feature on its Monday Night Countdown called "C'mon Man!" They left this one out.
44-41, Tennessee, overtime. Detroit driving, has an easy field goal attempt to extend the game. Fourth down and one.
They instead line up and try to draw the Titans offside. Oops, the center, Dominic Raiola snaps the ball. Shaun Hill, in at quarterback, has to try and make a play. Hill is stuffed, Titans win.
Hill and Jim Schwartz say "miscommunication". Raiola fell on the sword.
Wow. What a way to lose.
C'mon, man.
Dan Carpenter missed two late field goals north of 40 yards to help Miami lose to the Jets. That was bad. Detroit got worse.
Justin Tucker came within about an inch of "wide right". But Lion Nation felt much worse than you guys do.
Geek of the week: Why Shannon Sharpe is still on the CBS pregame show is stupefying. He can't talk, he's still pro-Denver, and most of what comes out of his mouth is either unintelligible or simply wrong.
Boomer Esiason: "Kansas City and Scott Pioli are learning that the Patriot Way only works in New England."
Sharpe: "Wrong! Tom Brady is the Patriot Way! Simple!"
No, Shannon, you're wrong. The Patriot Way is everything. Bob Kraft. Bill Belichick. Brady. And all the other 52 guys. Pioli may one day succeed in Kansas City. But Sharpe lowered himself to Tom Jackson's level by making that kind of dumb comment.
News item: BenJarvus Green-Ellis finally suffered his first NFL regular season fumble. Guess that's kind of like the Dodgers being 11-16 and can only make the playoffs as a Wild Card since The Trade.
But the Bengals won anyway. The Redskins may have upgraded the quarterback position, but they still need to learn how to play defense.
The other hot new slinger, Andrew Luck, couldn't beat Jacksonville at home. Remember, Peyton Manning had a learning curve also.
Speak of the devil, that's two weeks in a row that Manning nearly brought his team back late in the fourth quarter.
Do you think the Dodgers would take Kyle Arrington, Devin McCourty and Sterling Moore?
How really good is Christian Ponder? A good question to ponder through.
Back to school: Taylor Heinicke torched the UNH defense for an FBS record 730 passing yards on Saturday, as his Monarchs dropped 64 on the Wildcats. How must UNH feel, scoring 61 but losing?
That comeback by Oakland was really something.
So was that hit on Darius Heyward-Bey. Raider haters would say that it's usually the Raiders that lay those sticks, not receive them. He didn't suffer any debilitating injury, fortunately, but it did go against type.
And the Raiders did manage to bring Marcus Allen back into the family. He never should have been dissed in the first place.
Hate the loss all you want. But Torrey Smith catching those two TDs on the same day his brother died in a motorcycle accident was a feel-good story. He got the game ball after the game, but now the hard part starts.
The lousy officiating continues. So does fan interest. Can you spell "status quo"?
As long as players learn to adapt and find out what they can and cannot get away with, and as long as fans keep watching, nothing will change. It will be the real officials who will have to capitulate, not the owners.
Oh, and the coaches need to learn to adapt, too. Belichick will be a little lighter in the wallet in a day or two.
Arizona went home and thumped the Eagles. Yup, they're good.
And you still cannot name one single Cardinal defensive player, can you?
Remember him: One of the highlights of the Super Bowl XXXVI pregame show on Fox was the feature on Bob Kalsu, a former Buffalo guard who turned out to be the only NFL player killed in action in Vietnam. Lieutenant Kalsu played for the Bills in 1968, was sent to Vietnam the following year, and died in July of 1970 presumably of friendly fire. He and his wife Jan had a daughter and she was pregnant with their son when Kalsu lost his life. His widow remarried but still felt the pain of her husband's death in that terrific piece that Fox did. Kalsu's name is displayed on the Vietnam Memorial in Washington. He is a member of the Bills' Ring of Fame as well. He played under former Patriot head coach Chuck Fairbanks at Oklahoma and with former Patriot linebacker Steve Zabel as well, and both men spoke respectfully of Kalsu, saying that he simply saw going to Vietnam as his duty and he did it, though it did ultimately claim his life.
Again, calling all Patriot fans. Lion fans. Saints fans. Dolphin fans. Go and console your favorite Packer fan.
The ending of that Monday night game beat all. Dual possession? Did M.D. Jennings really have more of the ball than Golden Tate? And did they really have to try that meaningless conversion? If so, how come the officials on the field didn't just know to run the XP?
The league struck back on Tuesday. Call and result both stand. Funny, but the best part of that statement was that offensive pass interference wasn't called on Tate which would have negated all the slop that followed. In other words, the officials screwed up but everything's OK.
The most amazing thing about the postgame was that at no time did Pete Carroll use the words "pumped" and "jacked".
Guys like Mike Pereira and Gerry Austin will always have broadcasting jobs as long as this officials standoff continues. They truly know how bad things are out there.
Thought for the week: What will it eventually take for something to break?

Spell A DayDiscover a SecretSpell Date: Monday, August 25, 2014
Color of the day: Lavender
Incense of the day: Clary sage
Use this spell when something hidden causes trouble, whether on the job, at home, or in relationships.
You will need a black candle, a candle holder, and a shiny penny. Perform the spell outdoors at night. Pray to the Lady of the Dark Moon. Say: "As the moon is revealed in light, so the secret will be revealed to me." Hold the penny up. Say: "Like a lucky penny, knowledge appears." Place the penny in the candle holder. Place the candle on it and light the candle. Say: "Burn away the darkness, burn away the blackness, reveal the truth." Pray again to the Lady, asking her help in revealing this secret. Meditate on the candle. Leave it outside where it can burn undisturbed. In the morning, retrieve the penny. Carry it with you at all times until the full moon, then toss it away. The secret will be revealed.

The rest of Laos
Trip Start
Mar 09, 2008
Trip End
Dec 10, 2008
Once again we apologize that it has been awhile since we wrote. We have had a crazy few weeks!
We ended up staying in Luang Prabang a few more days than we expected. Like Keir said before we could live there!! It was such a difference coming into Laos from Thailand because everything is so much greener. And it was the green that I have always pictured these countries to be! That being said, it is the dry season so that could be a reason it was so dry up north in Thailand. Luang Prabang has 3 main streets parallel to each other. The first one is next to the Mekong and filled with palm trees, vines, Champ Pa trees (Laos national flower grows on them, and they are really quite funky looking) and big huge banana trees lining the street and then little patio restaurants polka dotting along the side, between the trees. The otherside of the street are mostly all guesthouses and hotels, and it is them that own the restaurants and run across the street to take your order, run back and make your food in their family kitchen and then run back across to serve it. Very neat. Then when we had to use the bathroom, we had to go into the house, past the 3 year old watching tv, and use their toilet. Definitely different.
The second street has these buildings that make you think you were in France! Huge teak buildings either made into a restaurant or hotel, then a little bakery with baguettes in the window, and "real" coffee shops. They even have a wine bar!! And I'm not talking about a halfass kind of place...this was the best wine bar I've ever been to! Beanbag chairs to sit in, a wine menu with wines from all over the world, and pretty reasonably priced. The glass of Chilean Cab Sauv Merlot that I had was only $3.50! Pricey in Lao terms but more than half what we would pay at home if we were out! It was so good! That was the first glass of wine in a month! Then continuing along the street you would see a huge Buddhist temple with monks in their orange robes. That's when I would get reminded where we are. We're not in France anymore Toto!! At night the whole street closes down and it turns into a never-ending row of market stalls selling paintings, handmade quilts (not nearly as good as yours Mom) jewelry, silverwares, and Beerlao t-shirts.
The 3rd street is a lot quieter and it is also along a river. Not the Mekong...but I don't remember what it is called. This street is full of the swanky guesthouses and hotels and again more street side restaurants. A little up the street there are some bars and art galleries.
We went to one of the BBQ restaurants with some friends and it was really cool. We were given a hotpot thingy, a metal dome in the center that you grill the meat on, and then the juices run down into the reservoir around the dome, and it is put over a little fire burning in the table. Then they brought trays and trays of meats, veggies, sauces and a kettle of broth. You fill up the reservoir with broth, start grilling whatever meat you want. There was chicken, beef, water buffalo, prawns, and squid. Add the garlic and chilies to the broth, add the veggies (which was cilantro, some leafy green similar to gai lan, bean sprouts, mint, basil and noodles too!) and then you can even crack an egg in the soup and make it a swirl soup! It was so good!
Around Luang Prabang there are a lot of things to see too! There was a cave in the side of the cliffs along the Mekong that was a Buddha shrine. Very cool. We rented a long boat to take us there. The first cave is full of statues, big and small, and offerings that people left. The second cave, which was a bit of a hike up a lot of stairs, had some old writing on the walls and more statues of Buddha. Not to mention a lot of Bat poop! It was about a 2 hour boat ride to get there and a 1 hour boat ride back downriver. Very relaxing. The next day we met up with some people we were on the trek with in Chiang Mai, and 4 others, and we took a tuk-tuk ride up to some amazing waterfalls. They stretched quite a ways and made little swimming holes to swim in. We found the best spot too! The edges are all calcified from the water and you can sit in it like a hot tub. So refreshing, especially when it is so hot out!! We stayed up there all day!! So gorgeous!
The next day we decided to continue on to the next stop on our agenda. Vang Vieng. We took a big bus there, like a greyhound. Ohmigod the drive was awful! Neither of us realized we were going to be going over mountain ranges!!! I don't usually get car sick but wow! It took a lot of concentration (for 6 hours) to not lose our breakfast! The first thing we did wrong was take the big bus...we were so high up, that when we went on the many switchbacks we felt like we towered over the steep edges of the mountains. The driver was going like 70 kms / hour in a 35 km zone. We overtook big semi trucks on blind corners, little kids and their chickens running around that he would just honk at. It was nuts! I don't think I have ever seen Keir so white and clammy. We went uphill for about 2 hours and then 1 hour up and down and then 2 hours downhill. We were so thankful and relieved to get off the stupid bus in Vang Vieng.
Vang Vieng has turned into a total backpackers haven. There are 2 main roads which have row after row of restaurants blaring friends or family guy episodes and guesthouses. We found a pretty nice one by the river. It was called The Orchid Guesthouse. There was a rickety bamboo bridge that went across to a small island right next to our guesthouse. On the island there were like 4 bars and 1 set of rentable bungalows. The bars were pretty cool, as they all have hammocks and pillows in about 4-5 open huts overlooking the river and you can look up to the huge limestone mountains. So perfect. Most of them had Bob Marley or sublime playing loudly on the speakers. It was nice just sitting there with a cold beer in hand and relaxing from the earlier gongshow of a bus ride!! We also saw a lot of people coming down the river on tubes. This is pretty much the main attraction in Vang Vieng. Tubing!! It costs about $4.00 and you get the tube for the whole day and a tuk-tuk ride to the top of the river. They have it so set up! You get in the water and within a 2 minute ride you are getting fished out of the water with a bamboo pole to go into one of the many riverside bars that are there for just that purpose! A few of them have zip lines to jump into the water others have swings into the water, and then one had it totally set up....3 beach vollyball courts, 1 badminton court, a food stall, washrooms, and a whole bunch of bungalows to have a nap or just hide from the sun for awhile. Not to mention music blaring to attract other tubers to get out of the water!.It took all day to get to the finish point but pretty much only 45 minutes of actual tube time. A lot of the bar owners would just give out shots of Lao Lao to whoever jumped off the swings or zip lines but the ones we came across were handing it out like candy! I have to say that Lao Lao is pretty yucky. I would describe it as stagnant dirty rainwater with a touch of burning. Not bad in 7up or coke but still...not a huge fan. Made for a pretty slow morning.
We stayed there for 2 nights...and what a first night we had. Now my writing skills will not do the night justice but I'll try. So Keir and I just had finished dinner the first night and we wanted to go and chill out at the place I was talking about earlier with the hammocks and stuff. It was a pretty cool place called Bamboo. It had clusters of huge bamboo all over and hammocks adjoined them as well as the huts. So we leave the restaurant and far away you can see the mountains lighting up from lightning and I was super excited as I love storms and sleep like a baby. So we go across the rickety bamboo bridge to Bamboo and just as we get there a huge gust of sandy wind picks up and screams by...and doesn't stop...Keir grabs me and we hide in one of the clusters of bamboo to wait for it to stop....It didn't stop. Sand is in our eyes and teeth and then it starts to pour rain...no...pours buckets of water! The wind is so strong it is blowing the bottles off the shelf in the hut (bar) the bon fire that was going when we got there was totally out from all the water, and pots and pans were flying out of the "kitchen hut". When we realized it wasn't just going to be a quick wind storm, everyone that was there ran into a concrete hut and huddled together. I started counting the lightning to thunder ratio back in town after dinner and it was at 35 seconds between, when we were huddled in the hut it wasn't even 1 second between. Of course the power went out right away so the whole town was black. It was nuts! I was kinda scared. All I could think of was what the story would be in the Times Colonist the next day. "huge typhoon in Laos Kills 80 backpackers!" I know...a bit dramatic but it was freaky! After the storm had slowed to just rain and a bit of lightning, we headed back in the pitch black to our guesthouse. Thank goodness people had there headlamps on going over the bamboo bridge cause I don't know how we would have made it back. We now keep ours on us at all times. When we get back to the guesthouse there is one whole wall blown in! Glass is everywhere! And we were in a proper building...not a hut! All of our bedding was soaked as we left the windows open, so they got us new stuff which was awesome...but still no power. It was off for 2 days!!! We left for Vientiane just as the lights were coming back on. Crazy crazy!
We only stayed in Vientiane for 2 nights. It is the capital of Laos and it's a pretty big city. We had one day of exploring and one day of chilling out and getting our tickets to Hanoi planned.
So everything is still going well. We are both happy and healthy and ready for the next adventure in Vietnam!!!
We will hopefully write soon!!!
Take care!!
Kylie & Keir

Ethiopian mustard (also known as Abyssinian mustard) lacks the bitterness of its better known cousin, kale. It's rich in vitamins C and K, and beta carotene and calcium, as well as cancer-fighting anti-oxidants. Ethiopian mustard also produces more leaves per plant than kale and a few leaves can be removed at a time for home consumption, allowing the rest of the plant to continues to grow.
Despite its nutritional qualities, Ethiopian mustard—like many of Africa's indigenous leafy greens—has largely been overlooked in favor of calorie-rich staple grains by researchers and farmers. As a result, the genetic diversity of the plant has dwindled. But through breeding programs, researchers are working to develop the strain's genetic diversity for disease resistance, its applicability as a cooking oil, and as a material for industrial production.
One of these organizations is AVRDC-The World Vegetable Center. Devoted to alleviating poverty through the increase in consumption of vegetables, AVRDC has a breeding program for Ethiopian mustard in Tanzania to select for resistance to diseases and to increase leaf yields. They have also tested combinations of organic fertilizers to determine what sorts of non-toxic solution is the best for pest management and high yields, helping make the crop an environmentally sustainable crop for local farmers.
With proper breeding management, Ethiopian mustard has the potential to spread its roots to dinner plates through its native continent and the rest of the world.

The Hunger Games opened to an estimated $19.74 million at midnight, which ranks seventh all-time behind the last three Harry Potter and Twilight movies. It did score the top midnight debut ever for a non-sequel, and it earned more than twice as much as the first Twilight movie ($7 million). If one is to use the opening pattern of Breaking Dawn Part 1 and New Moon (which also opened outside of the Summer), The Hunger Games would be poised for a three-day take between $90 and $110 million. Since those were sequels, though, it's probably fair to assume The Hunger Games will at least hold up a little bit better over the next few days. There's also a very distant chance that its pattern winds up closer to that of The Dark Knight, which would mean a weekend gross of around $160 million; it's been nearly four years since that movie came out, though and midnight attendance patterns have changed significantly in that time. Regardless, The Hunger Games is off to a fantastic start, and it still has a very legitimate shot at passing Alice in Wonderland's $116.1 million debut to set a new March and non-sequel opening weekend record.

Which countries are you interested in? I don't want to rain on your parade, but it's a risky idea.
English Teacher
Hi everyone
I recently set up a service offering one to one and small group business and general English classes to students. However, I'm finding it a challenge promoting and obtaining students abroad.
I understand there are language agents who assist in promoting schools services, but most of them are working with accredited schools. As a new service mine does not fall into that category.
Does anyone have any bright ideas about how I could lure either business people or students to my centre?
Also if anyone knows how I can contact language agents I'd be most grateful.
Many thanks for your help.
Which countries are you interested in? I don't want to rain on your parade, but it's a risky idea.
You should first decide in which countries you would like to market your services. Then you should investigate whether government subsidies exist for students. In Germany for instance, it is good to have your school registered for "Bildungsulaub" (please look the word up in Leo or something)
The above would give you a very strong advantage in getting your school promoted under a countries government schemes, most of which offer free publicity to, and have distributed lists of registered schools.
The internet is also a wonderful promotion tool if used correctly.
Another successful way is to contact a school or schools in the country of your choice and get that school to partner with you.
All this naturally if I have understood your question correctly.
OnlineEnglish Europe - TOEIC Preparation - Préparation au TOEIC TOEIC preparation Online.
Thanks for your response. I am mainly looking at France, Spain, Italy, Germany, etc -European countries so as to avoid visa issues. I believe it would be difficult to obtain visas for students from non European countries as my centre isn't an accredited school.
Is this still risky?
Thank you very much for your response. It's been a great help.
I have a website for the centre. Is there anywhere specifically that it should be visible, any particular directories etc ?
If I ask a school to partner with mine, does that mean I need to send them students from here? Is that how it works?
By the way what is Leo and where do I obtain it?
Eternally grateful for your help.
Website- Submit it to standard directories like Dmoz and Yahoo, though this can take ages. Get your site in some ESL directories and sites. You can browse here: ESL Web Directory especially Web Guides - ESL Web Directory - UsingEnglish.com You can also submit your site here: ESL Web Directory: Add a Link
As you're just starting in the business, you are in a fragile position in many ways, so I advise great caution and getting a lawyer before entering into any international deals.
Leo- a German/English dictionary online: LEO Deutsch-Englisches Wörterbuch
What kind of service can you provide.
Are you able to send your English teachers abroad. let's ignore the VISA process. Or you only want students to your school?
Thanks for your response. I'm actually very willing to travel abroad to students as are my teachers. I offer one-to-one and small groups (max 4 students) general and business English.
I'm open to all offers of getting students, whether it's in this country or going abroad.

It feels like every year, from Labor Day onward, the days and weeks fly by, and suddenly, the very busy holiday season is upon us! Feeling inspired by memories of back-to-school shopping, getting our supplies organized and anticipating the jam-packed months ahead, we made this very simple greeting card organizer. So many times in the past, we have been delayed a day or a week (or, um, a month . . . ) in sending a gift because we weren't prepared with a birthday or baby card on hand to include with the package. With this little caddy, we're going to collect cards all year and make sure each category is always stocked. — bbbcraft sisters
Read the full how-to after the jump!
- scissors
- pencil
- ruler
- cigar box, shoe box, old recipe box, card file or other small box
- file folders or thick decorative paper
- labels
1. After you choose your box, make a template for the greeting card dividers. We found small file folders that happened to fit perfectly into one of the many cigar boxes we have collected over the years, but chances are, you'll need to make a template yourself. Measure the inside of the box and cut out a rectangle in that shape. Be sure to include a tab on the top.
2. Trace the template onto your file folder or decorative paper. One nice thing about using file folders is that tabs are already cut out for you. Be sure to space some tabs on the left, some in the middle and some on the right, just as they would be in your file drawer at home.
3. Write on the tabs or use labels to indicate which cards go in which sections: Birthday, Anniversary, Sympathy, Baby, etc. Another way to organize this could be by month, adding cards that pertain to each month — Christmas, Hanukkah, Easter or Halloween (or, if you're really on top of things, cards for family or friends who celebrate birthdays or anniversaries that month).
4. Put the files into your box and start collecting and organizing!
That's a really good idea. The "symathy" tab looks like something I would do, too :-)
Not to be that guy but sympathy is misspelled.
I'm sorry to be so nit-picky, but does anyone else see that "sympathy" in the greeting card organizer is misspelled?
What a great idea! I love anything that keeps stuff organized
ooo, super cute. Love this.
Haha, yes, sympathy is misspelled, I didn't even catch that because I was too busy falling in love with this idea! I've been needing something like this to keep my growing pile of impulse greeting card buys organized. Love it!
My deepest condolences on your symathy card. (sorry, couldn't resist. ;-)
Great idea. I never know how to keep my random cards organized. Just need to find the perfect little box.
I love this! As I'm making the trek to Ikea this weekend, I'll be keeping an eye out for a box! Now I'm going to need a desk to write all these cards as well as to store the box…. ;)
This is great. Now all it needs is an electronic daily reminder to help me remember special events! Great idea.
Lovely idea! I can't wait to make it!
I seriously need to do this! My cards are jumbled together in a cute box, but no organization. Thanks for this idea!
Hi Everyone!
The good news is, the bbbcraft sisters welcomed a new little girl to the family on August 20! The bad news is, that same new mom, a little groggy and one-week postpartum, took on this DIY project and dropped the "p" in sympathy. We hope you forgive our mistake and will have some empathy for the challenges of new motherhood–sleepless spelling included! :)
I cannot have any empathy, but I have plenty of emathy. ;) Congrats on the new addition.
@Sydney: Check out these planters. I have a few around the house and use them for everything but plants. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/70101010
As a mom of a 2 week old I completely understand! I admire her spirit! I make cards myself but have taken a break from designing for the time being because I'm just too exhausted to see a project through. Kuddos to the awesome mama at BBBCRAFT and Congratulations!!!
Bad spellers of the world untie! :-) I once forgot the "r" in a homemade Christmas card.
Where are the boxes from? I've been looking for some!
Love this idea!
Very cute!:)
Oh, I made a greeting card organizer recently, too! It is so handy to have around for those last-minute needs ("It's your mom's birthday?!").
Here's a look at the one I made:
http://lifeblessons.blogspot.com/2011/01/steps-toward-hospitality-creating-card.html -
Super cute!! (although you have to keep the cards you purchase limited to what will fit in the recipe file box… luckily I lean towards smaller cards!) As a card designer it warms my heart to see people prepared to deliver great cards at the drop of a hat! This would actually make a lovely gift for a friend that is into hoarding cards too :)
have a box too but will use super idea to separate:) thanku
So cute and clever! Love it!
I stumbled upon this site a few days ago and have not been able to pull myself away! I went to 2 different craft stores recently to arm myself with supplies after noting all my favorite DIYs on here! I'm a grad student constantly looking for ways to make my dreary academic life more colorful and beautiful while not overspending my measly stipend, and this site is perfection! thank you for giving me so many fun ideas to run with!! I also have stacks of cards (i love handwritten notes!); now I know what to do with them!
This is such a good idea! I've had cards floating around forever, and I need a good way to store them and organize them!
Wow, I love this idea!! I have so many greeting cards that all in a box and I'm forever going through it each time it's time to whip out a card! I will definitely be trying this.
Wonderful idea! I'm going to steal this :) perfect for organising scrapbooking stuff as well!
I use the same type of system to organize my vintage greeting card collection. Looks great!
OMG – Design*Sponge strikes again! I'm on a 'pilgrimage' going backwards through your website pages, and – I kid you not – I was thinking; I must make myself a birthday reminder box, made of index cards…and WHAT do I find today on D*S??? This wonderful post – thank you!
I don't know about you all, but I prefer "symathy." It has a great ring to it. I'm going to use it from here on out. Done!
i have this organized yet in a book…with peoples birthday's listed by number on the "monthly numbered page"…and there's a pocket in each month…
I know this is an older post and my plan was to use these for something a tad different (coupon organization!) but I was wondering where you found your small folders and their sizing? I'm having a heck of a time trying to find something in a decent price range :(

Quoting nigel20: I've seen this one before, but I always have the same thoughts. First, I don't see any gust at 3:08 I can clearly identify as being stronger than others before it. Second, I'm amazed the gas station canopy survived as long as it did. Third, the big sign with prices survived apparently unscathed...and the price of premium was only $1.89! I hope we won't see another Charley, and I really doubt we'll ever see premium at $1.89 again. :-) |

National Guard guy
building a utility trailer....
Okay, I'm getting some leaf springs checked tomorrow afternoon for their spring rate, so I'll know how big of a trailer I can build on them. Now for the tech part. What would be considered the minimum thickness for framerails on a small trailer?
I'm guessing this trailer will be 10-12' long when finished, and roughly 5-5.5' wide. GF's dad has some heavy-duty shelving supports behind his shop that have been sitting there for quite a while. They don't have anything beyonf surface rust on them, but will they be thick enough for framerails? We'll probably be using the rear axle from a mid-80s Dodge Caravan, and the rest will be kitbashed together. I've got a complete set of lights for it, and it will most likely use treated lumber for the deck. Also, what sort of pipe should I be looking around for, for the tongue? Like I said, GF's dad has quite a bit of steel laying around, and I have a 7' piece of 1.5" or 1.75" HREW pipe, with probably a .25" wall thickness. |

Even if the weight is distributed over more than two framerails? I may be able to use two shorter framerails towards the center of the trailer, tied together to the outer rails. The leaves will be mounted on the outer rails, and probably at reinforced points.
I think the steel I'm thinking of is about 1/8" thick, but it's also not just regular box tubing, either. It has a few 90 degree bends in it on one side, so it "should" be stiffer than most. I'll get pics of the steel I'll be using later today, and probably a quick sketch of the frame plans. |

I put the Ick in Dick.
Well you can probably get away with 1/8" if you build it right and stiffen the frame properly. I am using 3/16" on my trailer but I also have a lot of it and have a simple trailer design.

SANDUSKY - An Erie County jail inmate was hurt seriously yesterday after he apparently leaned over a second-floor walkway railing in the jail and fell 13 feet, striking his head on the concrete floor, Sheriff Terry Lyons said.
Timothy J. Thayer, 47, of Erie County's Berlin Township, who suffered injuries to his head and spine, was flown from Firelands Regional Medical Center, Sandusky, to St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center, Toledo, where he was in critical condition last night.
Mr. Thayer, who has been in the jail since Jan. 23, was indicted for attempted murder, felonious assault, abduction, and having weapons while under disability.
He was arrested after a disturbance at his home on Darrow Road.
Mr. Thayer fell about 2:15 p.m., immediately after talking to the public defender representing him, the sheriff said.
Mr. Thayer and the attorney discussed via telephone the possibility of withdrawing the guilty plea he entered last Wednesday to the felonious assault charge, the sheriff said.
In Mr. Thayer's cell, investigators found a letter addressed to Erie County Common Pleas Court Judge Roger Binette indicating Mr. Thayer wished to withdraw his plea, the sheriff said.

I love Star Wars just as much as the other guy, and to prove it, I wanted to do a lesson that is a little different when it comes to sketching out these complex characters that everyone loves, but can't draw. Today I want to show you "how to draw chibi Yoda", step by step. He is one of the top ten characters of the Star Wars saga, and he will always be forever known. There are people that quote his sayings, and even go by what he believes in. Okay, maybe believing in the same ideals as Yoda is a bit overboard, but that is why there is die hard fans that Lucas created just by being brilliant. I had a Livestream viewer say "I never heard of Yoda with no wrinkles!". If some of you don't know, chibi form is totally ageless, that's the whole point. Regular forms of people being transformed into their chibi selves. You can add some definition lines just to convey what the character is known as having. In this case Yoda has tons of wrinkles because he is extremely old. Although the chibi Yoda has minimal wrinkles, I still added a few lines here and there on his forehead. Well I guess that's it. I will let you get to work so you can create your own Star Wars figure by showing you how to draw Chibi Yoda". Peace out my peeps and happy drawing!

SANTA CRUZ, California/USA (Tuesday, October 19, 2010) – After monitoring conditions throughout the morning, inconsistent surf in the one-to-three foot (.5 metre) range forced event organizers at the ASP PRIME O'Neill Cold Water Classic California to call competition off for today.
"We were hoping to finish Round 1 today but after watching conditions all morning, we've decided that the surf is just too inconsistent to run," Darren Brilhart, O'Neill Cold Water Classic Contest Director said. "We're expecting a promising swell to hit on Thursday, but will be back tomorrow morning at 7am to assess conditions."
Yesterday's O'Neill Cold Water Classic action saw local standouts Jason Collins (Santa Cruz, CA), 36, and trials winner Jonny Craft (Carmel, CA) start strong while young goofy-footers Evan Geiselman (New Smyrna Beach, FL), 17, and Tonino Benson (Kailua, HI), 20, unleashed impressive backhand performances at Steamer Lane.
Magic Seaweed, official forecasters for the O'Neill Cold Water Classic are calling for swell to drop throughout today and tomorrow before a promising new swell is expected to ignite Santa Cruz on Thursday morning.
Event organizers will reconvene at 7am on Wednesday morning to potentially start competition at 8am.
The O'Neill Cold Water Classic California holds a waiting period from October 18 through 24, 2010 and will be webcast LIVE via http://www.oneill.com/cwc/california

Among the decisions facing Florida voters this November is passage of Amendment 11. Passed by the Florida House and Senate on a bipartisan basis, the amendment gives the Florida Legislature the power to allow cities and counties to offer up to a 100% homestead exemption to low-income seniors. Currently, the special exemption cap for low-income seniors is $50,000. In order to qualify, the taxpayer must be 65 years of age or older; the home must be worth $250,000 or less; and income must not exceed $27,500. Sixty percent of voters must vote yes in order to pass the measure.
Critics claim that Florida's ailing economy will be further compromised by passage, but proponents say it will help Florida's financially strapped seniors and also attract more people to the state.
Early voting begins Saturday, October 27.

Raiders issue stern statement denying interest in Gruden
The Raiders have not spoken to Jon Gruden. (US Presswire) |
On Tuesday, ProFootballWeekly's Hub Arkush told a Chicago radio station that Jon Gruden and the Raiders were in talks to bring him back to Oakland. At the time, we wrote that the report seemed like a long shot for several reasons.
On Wednesday, the Raiders issued a stern statement on the matter from director of media relations Zak Gilbert:
"Members of the media: There are two people on this planet that have the ability to make talks happen between Jon Gruden and the Raiders, with regard to him allegedly taking over the football operations, and/or the position of head coach. Each of those individuals, owner Mark Davis and general manager Reggie McKenzie, wanted me to communicate that this rumor has no validity whatsoever.
"And for the record, I'm personally disgusted that Hub Arkush would spread such an untruth on the day our head coach, Dennis Allen, had to determine with his mom, his brother and sister, whether to take his dad off life support or wait and hope that he would regain consciousness. Dennis didn't have an opportunity to say goodbye to his dad, but he did have an opportunity to take a phone call regarding Hub's story."
Allen's father passed away Monday at the age of 66 after suffering a heart attack last week.

Diana Ross might possibly have found inspiration for her Motown hit, "Upside Down," from The Revolution, the Magic Mountain monster rollercoaster that keeps you spinning. Although there are over 100 rides at this 260-acre mega-amusement park, the Revolution stands alone; when it opened in 1976, it was the world's first steel vertical loop rollercoaster. It continues to dip and dive strong all these years later.

It turns out that a lot of people haven't been paying attention. Over the weekend, a story about how Microsoft is earning more from HTC's Android devices than from its own Windows Phone 7 sales spread all across the web, with surprised reactions everywhere. Anyone who has been paying attention to Microsoft's recent patent trolling regarding Android could've seen this coming.

If you've been here for a while you'd know that Thom has been pretty clear that he does not see the requirement of not producing anything other than lawsuits as part of the "patent troll" definition.
I do however believe that he's part of a minority. But the given the trend I'm seeing he might not be for long.
"Patent troll" seem to be going down the same road as "FUD".

Emergency Java Fix Is Available, but Some Experts Still Worried
That said, not everyone is convinced that Java users are completely in the clear after updating to the latest version. Experts agree that the updated version of Java now blocks the zero day exploit (in part by making you click a button to run Java technology present on most websites). But some research programs, including Poland's Security Explorations, suggest that there may be other Java vulnerabilities that haven't been addressed. You can disable Java, but it's hard to avoid Java on the Web, so if you plan to continue using it, grab the update.

Here is another recipe that I improvised after watching something on the Food Network when I was hungry. A while ago, I watched some show that featured an Italian eatery in New York that was famous for calzones made with sausage, potatoes, mozzarella, tomato, and red onion. I was starving when I watched it and I couldn't get them off of my mind.
I know this is a carb-heavy meal. Hello, potatoes wrapped in dough? But what could be a better pre Marathon 15K meal? I served these up last week before the race.
Sausage and Potato (and other veggie) Calzones.
I started off sauteing red onions, then added the sausage, then broccoli, then spinach. Just sautee for a few minutes... no need to cook it all through, since they will cook more in the calzone.
Next, ask your husband to roll out the dough because that is your least favorite part.
This was pre-made pizza dough that I can buy at our grocery store.
Pile it all on.
Next, add some chunks of fresh mozzarella or other grated cheese.
And then roll her up, and brush with olive oil.
Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes.. until golden brown.
Bonus: the second half of this was wrapped up for my lunch the next day.
As you can see, my calzone crust was too thick on the bottom and too thin on top, so I need more practice.
I guess I'll make them again very soon.
Think of the calzone possibilities! Mushrooms and cheese? Roasted red peppers, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes and feta? Barbeque chicken and red onion and Gorgonzola? We should all wrap our food in dough more often.

Thread: Iphone memory loops from high to low memory every 20 or so seconds closing apps
03-12-2012, 09:31 AM #1Iphone memory loops from high to low memory every 20 or so seconds closing apps
I have a 3gs 5.0.1. I have a problem that I have not seen discussed on any forum yet, unless im searching for the wrong tag.
I have EVERYTHING on the springboard turned off (that I know of). I have set my memory usage to display on the status bar. with the phone sitting idle, I can watch the memory go from 146 to 7mb in about 20 second or so, then immediately go back to 146mb and continue to repeat the process. If I open ANY app during the process, it will not crash the springboard but it will close the app. So basically I cant run anything on my phone for more that 20 or so seconds. I have looked at the reports with the settings menu but that is seriously a foreign language to me. I have not yet deleted all of my apps or attempted to restore my phone. I really want to ask around before I get to this point. Can anyone offer me a suggestion other than restore?
Please bare with me, I am not an expert at any of this but I can do more than average user.
I noticed that this page has the ability to post pictures or files, if you tell me what to go get off my phone that will help you diag. the problem, I will figure it out.
Thanks in advance!!

Oooo I noticed just now u have 5.0.1...restoring to that may be difficult as the signing window has been closed for a few days now...

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Here's a simple Venn diagram showing where I think the career sweet spot is:
- What you are good at: Build on your strengths. You should strive to be the best in your field, which will take time and effort, so you need to start from areas where you're good. If you're bad at something, you can improve to the point where you are OK, but you are unlikely to become the best, and the time you spend trying may be better spent elsewhere. In terms of job happiness, being bad at something is really demoralizing. Of course, don't count yourself out of anything you haven't tried.
- What you are interested in: Choose a field that makes you want to go to work every day, or, perhaps more realistically, something where the opportunity drives you through the inevitable ups and downs of employment (and life). You can be interested in a functional area (e.g., how do we market new products?), an industry, or both.
To me, one of the biggest misconceptions about careers is that you should just follow your passion. I love that idea, but reality is more complicated. You can love soccer without being a pro soccer player, your children without being a stay at home parent, art without being an artist, politics without being a politician. If you say "My one passion is my job," what you're also saying is "I'm not passionate about anything outside of my job." For me, at least, that's just not feasible.
Of course, your career will consist of a series of jobs, each of which will have two dimensions:
- Functional area (e.g. marketing, finance, engineering)
- Industry (e.g. apparel retailing, consumer packaged goods, enterprise software)
The lines between some functional areas are blurry (e.g. product management combines marketing and engineering), as are some industries (e.g. consumer electronics and software). Still, you'll want to have a general idea of where you want to be.
So, how do you figure out what you're good at and what you're interested in, and then translate that information into a functional area and industry?
1. Try things.
While time consuming and challenging, trial and error is the best way to learn. If you think you are interested in something, take a class, read a book, and see if you are still interested. If you think you are good at something, try it out: join a club at school, do an internship, be an apprentice, volunteer your time. You won't be great the first time you do something, but you should be able to tell if it's an area where you want to improve.
To maximize your time, try small experiments. Think you could be good at web development? Start a simple Tumblr blog, and play with the HTML. Maybe try to build a simple site.
One of the big misconceptions I used to have was that I needed a formal role or opportunity to try something (e.g. I thought I needed to be hired as a party planner in order to know if I liked planning parties). It turns out you can try things on a small scale yourself.
2. Talk to people.
Learn about their roles. What do they do at work? What qualities would make someone good (or bad) at that role? What path did they take to get to their role? Listen to what they like and what they don't like. Make a special effort to talk to people who share your interests.
Figuring out what you're good at it is really difficult, so ask for feedback often and from a broad range of people. "Feedback" is often used to mean "criticism," but you should use it to help you identify what you are doing well. Send people a survey if you think they would feel more comfortable being anonymous.
3. Look for the underlying drivers or sources of your successes or failures.
Say you really like playing soccer, but it looks like you're not going to go pro. Well, why do you like soccer? The teamwork aspect? Anticipating the moves of the opposing team? The thrill of victory?
Do that for all of the things you're interested in (or not), and good at (or not). Look for the core drivers and broad similarities.
For example, say you're a politics major and you're interested in revolutions, but you're obviously not going to be a professional revolutionary.
- First, you determine that your core interest is how people decide to join together and make a change in their societies.
- Then, you look at which industries are poised to enable societal change: energy, education, transportation, journalism, and so on.
- Finally, identify specific companies helping people change their societies, like Kickstarter and OPower. Now find a relevant functional role!
Functional roles work the same way. Like telling stories? Marketing could be a great fit. Enjoy meeting people and learning about their needs? Consider sales.
And finally, keep in mind that things may change. Your interests will evolve and your skills will deepen over time. More work experience helps you build more self-knowledge, which in turn helps you refine your career aspirations.
