Consolidating Highly Prospective Land Position in Core White Gold District
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - May 18, 2017) -
White Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:WGO) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a binding purchase agreement dated May 18, 2017 (the "Agreement") with Kinross Gold Corporation ("Kinross") pursuant to which the Company has agreed to acquire the entities holding 100% of Kinross' properties in the White Gold District, Yukon (the "White Gold Properties"); consisting of the White Gold, Black Fox, JP Ross, Yellow, and Battle properties (the "Acquisition"). The Acquisition consolidates and expands the Company's already substantial land position in the White Gold District, and adds approximately one million ounces of gold grading between 2.7 to 3.19 g/t gold on the Golden Saddle area based on historic estimates of Measured and Indicated Resources on the White Gold Property. Total consideration to be paid to Kinross for the White Gold Properties will consist of the issuance of 17.5 million common shares of the Company, an upfront cash payment of C$10 million, which will mostly be funded from the proceeds of a non-brokered private placement (the "Agnico Financing") with Agnico Eagle Mines Limited ("Agnico") and up to C$15 million in future milestone payments (as discussed below).
Following the completion of the Acquisition and the Agnico Financing, Agnico and Kinross will each own approximately 19.9% of the Company.
Key Highlights
Shawn Ryan, Chief Technical Advisor of the Company, commented, "We are very excited to be acquiring Kinross' Yukon portfolio; including the White Gold property. The acquisition adds significant exploration potential to our already dominant land position in the White Gold District. Our ultimate goal in the Yukon is to leverage our team's track record of successful exploration and discovering mineral resources in order to discover additional gold deposits and this acquisition greatly enhances our prospects. Historic reported resources on the White Gold Property indicate the potential for approximately one million ounces of gold grading between 2.7 - 3.19 g/t gold on the Golden Saddle in the Measured and Indicated Resources categories and we look forward to getting on the property to expand the mineral footprint. Furthermore, we are very pleased to now have strong support from both Agnico and Kinross as we advance our exploration programs in the Yukon. Both companies are world class, top tier gold producers and bring unique benefits to our other shareholders."
"Agnico Eagle looks forward to working with White Gold and Kinross and to leveraging our respective expertise and experience to advance the exciting opportunities in the district," said Sean Boyd, Agnico Eagle's Vice-Chairman and CEO.
"We look forward to working with Agnico Eagle and White Gold Corp. to support the pursuit of quality development opportunities in this highly prospective and largely underdeveloped district," said J. Paul Rollinson, President and CEO of Kinross. "This investment will allow the three companies to pool their expertise together to strengthen their position in this excellent mining jurisdiction."
Summary of the Consideration Paid for the Acquisition
The purchase price for the Acquisition consists of:
In connection with the issuance of the common shares of the Company to Kinross, Kinross and the Company will enter into an investor rights agreement, similar to the existing agreement between the Company and Agnico, pursuant to which, and subject to certain conditions, Kinross will have the right to participate in any future equity offerings by the Company in order to maintain its proportionate interest in the Company and to nominate one person to the board of directors of the Company. Until such time as Kinross beneficially owns less than 10% of the common shares of the Company for the first time following completion of the Acquisition, the Company will have a right to designate a purchaser of first instance in the event that Kinross wishes to sell a block of more than 5% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company. Kinross will also be subject to a standstill restriction until December 13, 2018, which will prohibit Kinross from taking certain actions, including acquiring more than 19.99% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company, subject to certain exceptions.
Summary of the White Gold Properties
The project location map of the properties of Kinross to be acquired is attached as Schedule "A" to this News Release.
The White Gold Property
The White Gold property is located approximately 95km south of Dawson City, Yukon and consists of 1,835 claims covering approximately 36,265 hectares. The property was historically explored by Underworld Resources from 2007 - 2009 and included the discovery of the Golden Saddle and Arc zones. In 2010, Underworld reported a resource estimate of 1,004,570 ounces contained in 9.80 Mt at a grade of 3.19 g/t Au in an Indicated category, with an additional 407,410 ounces contained in 5.02 Mt at a grade of 2.5 g/t Au in an Inferred category on the Golden Saddle. At the Arc Zone, the initial resource included 170,470 ounces contained within 4.37 Mt at a grade of 1.21 g/t Au in the inferred category (reported in Underworld Resources New Release UW2010-NR#2 dated January 19, 2010 and the 43-101 report titled "White Gold Property Dawson Range Yukon, Canada" dated March 3, 2010, prepared by Lars Weiershäuser, P.Geo, Marek Nowak, P.Eng and Wayne Barnett, Pr.Sci.Nat. of SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc.). Kinross purchased Underworld shortly after the initial resource was released in 2010 and explored the property from 2010 - 2012. In 2013, Kinross released the results of a resource estimate on the Golden Saddle zone and reported a resource of 840,000 ounces within 9.79 Mt at a grade of 2.67 g/t Au in an Indicated category, with an additional 125,000 ounces within 2.17 Mt at a grade of 1.8 g/t Au in an Inferred category (reported in Kinross Gold Corp.'s 2016 Mineral Reserves and Resource Statement). Both Underworld's and Kinross' resource estimates are considered historical estimates and the Company is not treating them as current mineral resources. Although the Company believes these sources to be generally reliable, such information is subject to interpretation and cannot be verified with complete certainty due to limits on the availability and reliability of raw data, the voluntary nature of the data gathering process and other inherent limitations and uncertainties. In addition to the Golden Saddle and Arc zones, there are numerous other targets known on the property that warrant follow-up work (for more information see Yukon Assessment Report #'s 095338, 096206, & 096207).
The JP Ross Property
The JP Ross property is located approximately 70km south of Dawson City, Yukon and consists of 2,251 claims covering approximately 45,600 hectares and numerous placer gold bearing creeks. Historic exploration performed on the property by Underworld and Kinross include geochemical surveys, trenching, airborne magnetic and radiometric surveys, and 8,592m of diamond drilling over 64 holes. Fourteen target areas are currently known and large portions of the property are unexplored (see Yukon Assessment Report #'s 096204 & 096204 for more information).
The Black Fox, Yellow, and Battle properties are early stage properties with limited historic exploration performed on them to date consisting of prospecting, reconnaissance soil sampling, and limited drilling (Black Fox). Collectively, the three properties consist of 238 claims covering approximately 4,895 hectares of ground (see Yukon Assessment Report #'s 095270, 095338, 096202, 096206, & 096207 for more information.)
Additional information on all the properties and the Company's planned exploration activities will be reviewed in future news releases.
Additional Information
The White Gold Properties are subject to two pre-existing annual advance royalty payments in the aggregate amount of $130,000 that will remain in force should commencement of commercial production begin with respect to certain claims, and three pre-existing net smelter returns royalties equal to 4%, 2% and 2%, respectively, each relating to different claims and each subject to reduction options. Furthermore, if either mineral reserves, measured mineral resources or indicated mineral resources are located on certain claims comprising the White Gold Properties and are disclosed in a National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") technical report then the Company will be obligated to pay a royalty equal to $1.00 per ounce for any ounces of gold (using a cut off of 0.5g/t). Each of these royalties is held by Shawn Ryan, a director of the Company. In connection with the Acquisition, the Company, Kinross and Mr. Ryan have entered into an agreement (the "Amending Agreement") pursuant to which the Company has, among other things, agreed to assume the royalty payment obligations in respect of the White Gold Properties, and the parties have agreed that the Company may elect to satisfy part of its $130,000 advance royalty payment obligation through the issuance of common shares of the Company. The Amending Agreement, which will be effective upon closing of the Acquisition, also provides for the issuance to Mr. Ryan of 70,500 common shares of the Company upon completion of a bankable feasibility study with respect to the White Gold Properties. The entering into of the Amending Agreement by Mr. Ryan will be considered a "related party transaction" pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company will be exempt from the requirements to obtain a formal valuation or minority shareholder approval in connection with the entering into of the Amending Agreements in reliance of sections 5.5(b) and 5.7(a) of MI 61-101.
Agnico Financing
In connection with the Acquisition, Agnico has exercised its right to maintain its approximately 19.9% equity ownership in the Company. To maintain its equity ownership, Agnico will subscribe for approximately 4.4 million common shares of the Company at a price of C$2.01 per share on a non-brokered basis for gross proceeds to the Company of approximately C$8.75 million. The common shares of the Company to be issued to Agnico will be subject to a statutory 4-month hold period. The net proceeds of the Agnico Financing are expected to be used to substantially fund the upfront cash payment portion of the Acquisition as more particularly described above. Closing of the Agnico Financing is expected to take place concurrently with the closing of the Acquisition.
Following the completion of the Acquisition and the Agnico Financing, the Company expects to have approximately C$22 million of cash on its balance sheet.
Completion of the Acquisition, the Agnico Financing and the transactions contemplated by the Amending Agreement are subject to a number of standard conditions, including receipt of all regulatory approvals and the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"). The transactions are expected to close during the second quarter of 2017.

The Company has retained GMP Securities L.P. as financial advisor and Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP as legal advisor.

PA looks long-term
Rev. Dwight Hein never experienced a tornado before.
BY HEATHER MOYER | CAMPBELLTOWN, Pa. | July 20, 2004
Our ecumenical group is already in place - it's very strong.
Rev. Dwight Hein
Rev. Dwight Hein never experienced a tornado before, and after seeing the damage from last Thursday's twister in Campbelltown, he's sure he never wants to see one again.
"To see the power - the projectiles the tornado created, it was incredible," said Hein, pastor of Salem United Church of Christ in Campbelltown. "There were concrete blocks stuck in the sides of houses, and two-by-fours stuck in trees."
Hein was in the damaged neighborhood two hours after the F-3 tornado rolled through, checking on some of his parishioners. Then the skies grew dark again.
"Another line of storms was coming in, so they evacuated the whole area again," he explained. "So I started helping get people into emergency vehicles and out of the area."
The Campbelltown tornado destroyed 37 homes and damaged over 100 others. Much of the damage lies within one development, but sporadic damage is evident throughout the county.
Hein said his church and many others around the community are already offering assistance to the affected families. The area churches already work together through an ecumenical alliance called the Palmyra-Area Cooperating Churches.
"Our ecumenical group is already in place - it's very strong," he said. "So we'll be doing our relief work through already established agencies." Hein added that the ecumenical group also already has a fund they use to help families who lose homes to fire, which will now also be used for tornado relief funds.
So far, the ecumenical team is doing significant work. The area churches are already helping affected families find housing, including families who just need temporary assistance until repairs are completed on the homes. A local Methodist church with a daycare center is offering free childcare. Many church parishioners from around the community are also bringing in prepared meals for volunteers and affected families.
"The response has been incredible," said Hein. "For something as big as this to have never happened before in Lebanon County - the response has been just great."
Hein said the national denominations of the participating churches have also been a significant help, offering both disaster recovery advice and donations. "The United Church of Christ gave us a donation - and the Methodists, Lutherans, and Catholic Charities have all offered their help," explained Hein.
"They're even helping with all the administrative details. When the tornado hit, I didn't know where to start, but their support has been amazing. Now I know why all this is set up in advance!"
The community's pastors are working with county officials to provide spiritual counseling to families and volunteers. "I try to keep in touch with our families each day," Hein said of the seven affected families in his church. "But we do spiritual counseling for anyone. It's really the ministry of letting them know you're here, the ministry of presence."
According to Hein, he's noticed a change in the community already. "I've seen many tears of sadness change to tears of joy because of how generous volunteers have been," Hein said. "Our phone's been ringing off the hook with people calling in to offer help."
He spoke of his own parishioners' generosity, saying many were preparing meals, helping remove downed trees, and just doing anything they can.
The pastors of the local churches are also checking in on each other regularly, said Hein, making sure the others are okay and not "burning out" with all the work they're doing.
The recovery process in Campbelltown will be extensive, according to Hein. Most of the affected families in the hardest hit neighborhood have insurance, but Hein said the ecumenical alliance will do whatever is needed to help. The group is also targeting the outlying damaged rural areas.
"There will be a definite long-term need in this (recovery)," Hein said.

Often simpler is better. Here's a headshot of a young executive, using only natural light without any reflectors or fill-in flash. The new trend seems to be to have a background that "looks like I'm in the office" 😉 instead of your standard studio background .
I had my subject stand 1 metre inside a doorway facing outside, so that he was in covered shade, yet still getting most of the light from the front to illuminate his eyes and eliminate those dreaded racoon eyes when shooting in uncovered shade. The light fall off shooting from outside into the room was quick producing a dark background, yet with some detail.
If the light, looking from inside to outside is a bit bright for your subject, have someone hold a dark towel up behind you to minimise squinting, although as Perter Hurley says, a little bit of a 'squinch' is good. Don't forget to set your white balance by using a grey card or an Expodisc.
To give the subject an alternative look, I moved indoors, bounced the on-camera flash backwards over my left shoulder, off a white ceiling
but had him turn his left shoulder closer to the camera this time - very different look, but just as quick to set up

Hema Upadhyay
Killing Site
Hema Upadhyay
Killing Site
Acrylic, gouache, dry pastel, photograph on paper, aluminium sheets, resin
183 x 122 x 61 cm
Baroda born and Mumbai based Hema Upadhyay uses photography and sculptural installations to explore notions of personal identity, dislocation, nostalgia and gender. Upadhyay's work Killing Site draws on the theme of migration and human displacement across Asia. The top of the work is based on Mumbai's dilapidated shanty towns, here appearing upside down and protruding out like a canopy over Upadhyay's decorated montage. Upadhyay draws on her own personal and family history of migration to express her concerns and this is expressed through the way she portrays herself in her works. The upturned slums reference the repercussions and socio-economic inequalities that emerge as a hidden consequence of the relentless tide of urban development in the city.

Ella Hooper

Live @ Black Bear Lodge (15/05/14)

Good things come to those who wait…
Everyone has been raving this week about the Rocky Horror twitter joke that took five years to pay off. If you're unfamiliar, it went down a little something like this:
If you condense the timeline from five years to two, the release of Ella Hooper's debut solo album, In Tongues is quite similar to faux Furter's antici... patory build up. The recently re-released single, 'Low High' initially surfaced around this time in 2012. Catchy and all mysterious like, 'Low High' showed a new side of Hooper, a stalwart of the Australian music industry since the late 90s. Her transition to indie chanteuse was solidified with 'Häxan', a bewitching number that stands in line with the best songs of 2013. But where was the follow through? In Tongues would pop up on release schedules and then quietly disappear. My heart would break… *cough*. What? Nothing. And then it was announced late last year that Ella would be taking on the role of team captain on a revamped version of ABC's popular music quiz show, Spicks and Specks. Some prominent exposure on national television can go a long way (just ask anyone that's ever been on Home and Away), so what better time than now to really have a crack at launching that solo career! After quite some time between visits, Ella Hooper returned to Brisbane on Thursday night on one of the last stops of the Low High Tour. We were finally going to get a real sense of what In Tongues will be. It's been a long road that has felt like forever, but the pay off? Let's just say our antici… pation is going to pay off in spades.
Four out of five It's My Kind of Scene-sters were on hand at the Black Bear Lodge for Ella's show (we missed you Lou!), a night jam-packed full of the very best in live music. There was also a lot of unnecessary pelvic thrusts coming from Nayt and surprisingly Katie (Jo's dignity remains intact), but that's a tale for another time. Up first was Brisbane's own Airling aka Hannah Shepherd, who was joined by multi-instrumentalist Graham Richie for their first ever gig! Airling's dreamy sound is just so full of win, with Shepherd's ethereal voice shining amongst the beats and fancy electronic wizardry. Technical terms are not my strongpoint, but Shepherd and Richie had some cool looking gear on stage with them. The previously released track 'Ouroboros' was a highlight of the set, with other tracks like 'Runner' and 'Take Care Of You' showing off Shepherd's skills as a songwriter. One might even call them 'mad' skills. Bro. Shepherd and Richie make quite the team and if they hadn't mentioned it, you wouldn't have guessed this was their first gig. Anyway, Airling… release some more recordings soon please. You provide many good feels.
Gena Rose Bruce
After a short break, Gena Rose Bruce walked on up to the stage and picked up her dream catcher adorned guitar. She had a big, floppy red hat on that left an eyebrow raised because, you know, nighttime and indoors, but as soon as soon as she started to sing… wow. What a voice. There's a bit of Taylor Swift in here, but it's like if T-Sweezy let go of the nice girl act and embraced the fact that she's the problem in all of her relationships. Rose dropped songs on the crowd like 'Homewrecker', 'Cheated' and a stellar rendition of Nancy Sintatra's 'Bang Bang' for the encore. I'm pretty sure there was a song in there about killing someone too. The darker lyrics against the sweet vocals are all kinds of crazy good. It's safe to say Bruce won over many new fans at the Black Bear, myself and Nayt included. We each picked up a copy of her 'Wild One Baby' EP, which I've only just realised Katie has in her bag. Katie, if you're reading this, I know where you live, thief!
Ella Hooper
Just after 10pm the night's headliner, Ella Hooper joined her band before graciously thanking her Brisbane fans for coming out on a school night. An announcement came that In Tongues would be released in June… or July. But it is coming this year. For reals this time, y'all. Ella had been out hitting the Brisbane op shops during the day and was rocking an all-white ensemble, complete with a silver moon necklace. A sister of the moon, she was. Before you can sing, "just like the white-winged dove, sings a song sounds like she's singing… ooh… ooh… ooh," Hooper launched into the opening number. She was ready to rock and or roll, busting out quirky dance moves that had you wanting to bop along with her. As compelling a performer as ever, her charismatic presence on stage draws you in. Those killer yodeling vocals have always been a trademark and with years of experience, from Killing Heidi to The Verses and now as a solo artist, Ella is in complete control of it. The live performance of 'Haxan' is a perfect example. Seductive and sultry one moment and seething with a fiery rage the next, Hooper can wield her voice like a weapon.
My favourite 'artist banter' line was delivered as Ella said she was, "going to take it down" for a couple of songs. Which is always code for 'taking a trip to ballad town via the emotional train' and we got not one, but two of the quieter moments from In Tongues, 'Everything Was…' and 'Reels'. Apart from two drunk chicas wearing ugly sweaters, Hooper had the crowed completely transfixed, particularly with 'Reels' which was written for some friends in the crowd that had made the journey up from Melbourne for the gig. I didn't need any more convincing, but 'Reels' reaffirms my belief that In Tongues is going to kick all kinds of awesome music booty. I forgot to mention, but the album's title track was shit hot too. It was the second song of the night and has a hook that will grab you and jab in its claws. Like all of the other non-ballad tracks, it too came with quirky choreography you will never be able to successfully emulate.
Ella Hooper
Following the ballads, it was onto a track described as Hooper's disco number, 'Dead Star' which saw the energetic, upbeat vibe return and then we were suddenly at our last song of the night, 'Low High'. Everything was ending too soon… but time flies when you're having fun or something, right? Hooper had addressed that she loves a bit of a chat with the audience, so she found herself running a bit behind. This meant no encore, but whatever, 'Low High' sent us off on way more of a high than a low and got those shoulders shaking. If Ella Hooper proved anything at the Black Bear, it's that she's an artist worth waiting for. We've waited patiently for her to return to Brisbane and to get our hands on In Tongues. She certainly proved with the former that good things come to those who wait. As for the latter, that long shiver with antici… pation is almost over. June… or July… can't come soon enough.

From the best-selling CD-book Graceful Passages, this music by Gary Malkin will immerse you in your own private refuge of tranquility and reflection.
The music was originally inspired by authentic spoken messages from many of the world's spiritual and humanitarian leaders; each spoke from a state of unconditional love, compassion, and a sense of Oneness with Source. As a result, when listening to this music, allow it to open your heart and offer healing for any wounds that might still remain. Since we're often most vulnerable during times of loss or change, experience this listening meditation as you traverse any significant transition in your life, so that you can remember who you are, live with an awareness of what matters most, and remember that you're never alone. The Hemi-Sync® frequencies will deepen this experience, carrying you to a profound state of relaxation, allowing for calm and deep awareness of the beauty of life.
Equipment Needs: There are numerous ways to play the CDs and/or MP3 files. It can be as simple as playing it on a CD player. Most people like to download the CD and/or the MP3 file to an iPod, MP3 player, tablet, computer or their smart phone.
It is also recommended to use headphones to listen to the exercises, especially in the beginning except for the sleep CDs/MP3 files. The headphones do not have to be expensive or sophisicated. Earbuds can work just as well. Some people like to use noise cancelling headsets to help block out external noise. If someone is using the technology for sleep enhancement or when they are lying down, they might prefer to either purchase a headband with earbuds or make their own headband with earbuds. Pillows with earbuds are also available to help direct the sound to the right and left ear appropriately. There are others who will put speakers on either side of their bed or head for the same impact.
If you are downloading a file to iTunes or similar media player, you need to make sure you have the correct settings to maintain the integrity of the file.

Waukegan property approved as Illinois Nature Preserve
A meadow near Waukegan described as a snapshot in time for its rare landscape has been approved for dedication as an Illinois Nature Preserve.
Identified as a high-quality natural area more than 30 years ago, the parcel east of the Tri-State Tollway between routes 120 and 137 this week was approved by the Illinois Nature Preserves Commission.
That designation, which protects the last remnants of the Illinois wilderness, ensures the 93 acres will remain untouched by development or other intrusions, such as utilities, in perpetuity.
"It means that site has been conferred the greatest level of protection in Illinois," said Steve Byers, advance natural resource specialist for the commission.
The preserve is named Dokum Mskoda, which means "quiet prairie". The name was proposed by the seven tribal councils of the Potawatomi tribe, the last of a succession of indigenous people to live in the Chicago region, according to the Grayslake-based Liberty Prairie Conservancy, a land preservation group.
Dokum Mskoda is a wetland area that is under water much of the year and contains two distinct ecosystems -- a prairie and sedge meadow that has remained much the same as when it was seen by early settlers.
"Less than 7/100 of 1 percent of our prairie heritage survives in Illinois," Byers said.
While it will have state protection, the land remains privately owned by the association of a nearby townhouse development. The association thought it owned considerably less property and sought help when the true size was determined.
"They've worked three years to make this happen," said Linda Yunker, a consultant to the association covering 96 units. "They just wanted to make sure that was protected and couldn't change."
Byers also acknowledged the owners.
"This took real leadership and the homeowners association stepped up and provided it," he added.
The area received preliminary state approval two years ago, but official designation languished because the land surrounded a separate property that had potential for development of an access road, according to Steve Barg, executive director of Liberty Prairie Conservancy.
That group purchased those eight acres from Lake Forest Builders Inc., clearing the way for the formal dedication. Funding for the purchase and future expansions were provided by the Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation and William Wells, a former Lake County resident.
"This site has been known since 1978 as an important area to preserve because of the makeup its rare species and habitat," Barg said. "We see this as a catalyst to do more in this incredibly important biological area."
The site also is important for clean water and flood control, he added.

Interiors Awards 2017: Hotel
LondonHouse Chicago
Designer: Simeone Deary Design Group
Client: Oxford Capital Group
Location: Chicago
"The wonderful volume of the entry sets the tone from the moment you walk in. Original and historic details are used fittingly throughout the interior. The hotel's design is modern and clean with provocative detail and edgy accents." —Jury
In designing the interiors for the new LondonHouse Chicago Hotel, Simeone Deary Design Group (SDDG) made the most of the hotel's site and history. The hotel is partly within the neoclassical London Guarantee Building from 1923 that is prominent at the corner of Michigan Avenue at Wacker Drive, just south of where the Michigan Avenue Bridge crosses the Chicago River. An adjacent new glass-clad infill addition by Goettsch Partners gives the hotel a contemporary appeal at the highly visible location.
The 22-story, 25,000-square-foot hotel has 452 guestrooms with high ceilings, numerous great views, and associated amenities. Primary spaces for the public and guests include a second-floor lobby, a pre-function space, conference rooms, a 17-foot-tall ballroom on the third floor, and a panoramic rooftop bar overlooking the Chicago River.
The project provided an opportunity for SDDG, a Chicago-based practice with a hospitality focus, to define the hotel. "[LondonHouse] didn't have a brand [identity]," explains Carrie Tolman, an associate at SDDG. "We were able to determine what LondonHouse was going to be."
The hotel's interiors span the two buildings, and the SDDG designers embraced the mix of old and new. The original Beaux- Arts motifs of the historic tower provide direct precedents for many of the design moves. SDDG looked to the deeper concepts of the École for inspiration, evoking the movement's deployment of contrasts between light and dark finishes, as well as small and large spaces, while organizing the interiors around predominantly symmetrical axial arrangements.
Guests enter the hotel through either an ornate rotunda off of Michigan Avenue or a more intimate new entrance from Wacker Drive, where they encounter a narrow corridor displaying a two-story- tall portrait of General William Hull that draws the eyes upward to a gridded sculptural light fixture and the second-floor lobby. That lobby provides the most direct connection to the original building, literally and semantically as the reception desk is on an axis with the older building's elevator corridor, restored a number of years ago by Goettsch.
SDDG ties the spaces together with elements that abstract the geometries of the London Guarantee Building's rotunda. Octagons, circles, and beaded diamonds are etched into the black marble floor and reflected in the custom wallcovering that mimics coffers used in the ceiling. Columns are covered in decorative patterns that recall original metalwork. An oversize crown molding, while not originally from the old structure, lends the 57-foot-by-64-foot lobby a sense of Beaux-Arts grandeur. Comfortable seating arrangements and a bar make it a hub of activity, with stunning views down the adjacent river.
The designers were further influenced by the 1920s era of the original building for a deep dive into specific themes. Carpeting in the public spaces takes its cues from women's fashion of the period: A beaded pattern based on a period coat design lines the corridors. Jazz Age jewelry provided inspiration for custom light fixtures with lacey pendants, chains, and cut crystal. Wallcoverings marking the entry to each guestroom reprise the patterns of radiator grills in the original lobby. Within each room, automotive motifs balance the feminine touches of the public zones with a jolt of masculinity. Fumed eucalyptus wood interventions include freestanding wardrobes and custom beds that incorporate drawers within their base—referring to the increasing mix of style and function in cars of the 1920s.
LondonHouse's crowning feature is a pair of lounges on the top two floors. While the exterior bar on the 22nd floor has become a seasonal destination, the interior lounge on the 21st floor stimulates by design. The bar itself—at more than 56 feet long, one of the largest in Chicago—riffs on the unusual shape of the building's footprint. Herringbone wood patterns recall the lobby's flooring, and pendant light fixtures reference peregrine falcon nests.
Combining historic and contemporary architecture and interiors with inspiration from the city of Chicago and the specific site, LondonHouse succeeds at creating a compelling series of spaces for sophisticated hotel guests.

After we saw the latest Legend of Zelda get pushed back from 2015 to 2016, then again from 2016 to 2017, I told myself I wouldn't get excited during the preview of the newest Legend of Zelda. That promise lasted around five minutes after the opening segment of the game. The latest title, revealed as Breath of the Wild, has a lot in common with the very first Legend of Zelda. No long intros or tutorials in BoW; we don't even know what is going on with Hyrule Castle. Link just gets his clothes, and gets out. Or maybe not. You could storm out of the chamber wearing almost nothing if you so choose. With this amount of freedom, BoW also has a lot in common with the numerous sandbox titles that gained popularity during the later half of the previous console generation. I don't mean that Zelda is already outdated. Sandbox games still have plenty of untapped potential.
Though we only have a limited view of Breath of the Wild, the game may have more in common with it's sandbox peers than its predecessors. Link, Ganon, and many of themes in the Zelda series are present, and Zelda isn't looking for gritty realism (as we see when Link waves a leaf at a raft's sail in order to move down the river). We've seen a few signature items, such as bombs, but the swords and bows are taken from enemies and the environment. The number of weapons that exist is as vast as the number of ways to tackle puzzles and combat. If there is one aspect in Breath of the Wild that Nintendo wants to make clear, it's that players are free to choose how they tackle each problem in the game.
If weapons are found in the wild, what does that make of the iconic dungeon items? Nintendo is still holding a lot back, and all we know is that permanent items are found through Shekaih runes and spirit-orbs (its full purpose still left a mystery. The iconic versions of these items (e.g. hero's bow, hookshot) may still exist, but this is something Nintendo is holding back from the audience for now.
Dungeons are another feature that have been held back during this reveal. Instead, we see shrines, which act as mini-dungeons, giving Link rewards such as bombs, a magnet, and spirit-orbs. Nintendo has also revealed that there are over 100 of these mini-dungeons peppering the world. Of course, with 100 plus dungeons, not all of the rewards will be as significant as the runes featured during the Treehouse, but with an eye towards exploration, this is all a part of the fun.
There is a lot to unpack in what we saw with the latest Zelda reveal, and a lot more to talk about in the future, still. For the time being, everything I have seen from the latest Zelda has me excited, and I truly buy Aonuma's words when he stated he wished to take the series in a completely new direction.
While I still have mixed feelings on a Zelda dominating E3, I must admit that it appears Nintendo has another winner on its hands. Even for those less enamored by the franchise, it's hard to deny the beauty of the new official E3 trailer. I'm even rather fond of the title, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
With a minimal backstory at the start, it looks like players will by and large be left to their own devices. I think this new story direction is a very smart choice. It'll certainly lead to some refreshing, non-linear gameplay. I'm also greatly intrigued about the role technology will play in this latest entry. In my opinion it's a long overdue addition, and has the potential to make The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild something extra special.
After watching the trailer repeatedly and being swept up by the highly impressive aesthetics, I started viewing gameplay demonstrations from Eiji Aonuma and the Treehouse team. Despite the repeated promises of spoiler free experiences, I readily admit that I was torn. Spoilers are wildly subjective! Nevertheless, how can I report and write about a new game that I haven't seen?
Based on my partial (though still incomplete) viewings, I can say that I'm impressed by Link's range of movement – he can jump! Climbing is a significant element in this adventure, and I can already envision the risk/reward element of trying to scale the tallest peaks. It was refreshing, and comical, to see the Treehouse crew even fall into the occasional mishap.
Though much has been shown of the new Zelda, with more still to come, there's still plenty we've yet to seen. Notably towns and NPC's, certainly in an effort to hold back spoilers. I can appreciate that – I'd rather be surprised. Was the glimpse of the overwold enough to get you hyped? For most, I'm guessing the answer is yes. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is off to strong start.
March 2017 seems a long way off (and it is), but if it allows for more polish how can I really complain? The series is known for its high quality, and I doubt this latest entry will be the exception. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild seems poised to carve out a new direction for the franchise. What innovative features will we learn of next?

With all due respect to those who taught me when I was a kid, those methods are not appropriate for the world in which we live. Is it important for a student to know the third emperor of the Roman Empire? No. They will survive quite nicely without knowing that fact. Why, then, do we "teach" it? If something is "Google-able" then do we need to teach it in class? Most kids today walk around with a device that has more computing power than the first rocket to the moon had and can, if given thirty seconds, look up those answers. So what do we do?
Somehow, we must use the stories of history as a backdrop for kids finding their place in the world today. After all, why should kids care about what happened hundreds or thousands of years ago? What is the relevance to their lives? In some cases, the kids' natural curiosity will carry them through a unit of study, but often, it does not. Making our content relevant to the students' lives is essential. If students can "own" the content because it is important and relevant to their lives, then they will remember it. Therein lies the challenge for me.

On top of that Damon shows up and gets "invited in" with his new toy Caroline and as always he tries to ruin Stefan's moment. Damon shows more of the weakness he has over Elena, just like his brother, she kind of puts him in his place.
Stefan gets to show off his football skills and ends up having Mr. Tyler ask him to join the team. Meet the new star football player for the Timber Wolves! He also keeps showing off his knowledge of history in class making the teacher look a little stupid. You know if I'm a vampire walking around in daylight I'd keep a little lower profile than showing off my knowledge of history events from the past 2 centuries.
Stefan and Damon continue their brotherly feud and it really seems Damon knows all the buttons to push with his "younger" brother. Damon teases Stefan about Elena but let's him know he has his own cheerleader now. Another biting toy for Damon!
At the pep rally Stefan gives Elena a necklace to wear that has some kind of "herb" in the locket. Probably something to keep brother Damon away, don't you think? Maybe garlic? We'll find out! We also see a fight break out, Stefan breaks it up but ends up getting cut and Elena runs over to check on him and he has healed up already. He blows it off as nothing but she's curious about it.
A very cool diary moment as Stefan mentions maybe there is no good left in his brother but as the scene fades it shows Damon watching over Elena with a caring look in his eyes.
Another good story, the show is still growing on me and I do like it better than the Emo-esc Twilight but it's still new, it has some proving to do but it is on the right path.

River Festival celebrates the Kankakee River
HEATHER AUGUSTYN - Times Correspondent |
Posted: Saturday, August 15,
2009 12:00 am
KOUTS | American Indians, fur traders, hunters and the rich and
famous emerge from the past to celebrate the one thing they all had
in common -- the Kankakee River.
The re-enactors are some 40 to 50 volunteers from the Kankakee
Valley Historical Society which sponsors the second annual Aukiki
River Festival from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Aug. 22 at Collier Lodge,
1101 S. Baum's
Bridge Road
in Kouts.
John Hodson, president of the KVHS, said the festival, named
after an American Indian word for
, is a way to celebrate all of the ages of the river, from the
mid-1770s through the 1930s.
"We focus on the Native Americans, fur traders, voyageurs,
up to the hunters in the 1930s. We have a blacksmith, storytelling,
and two bands playing French voyageur music," Hodson said.
The aim is to educate participants on the many phases of the
river and the cultures that thrived in the region in south Porter
County due to the presence of the Kankakee, evidence of which has
been literally uncovered by the KVHS over the past few years at the
Collier Lodge site.
"We'll have an archeologist on site,
Mark Schurr
from Notre Dame, who will be performing work on site and will answer
questions about his work," Hodson said.
The Aukiki River Festival is on the same day as the Kouts Pork
Fest and customer appreciation day at Baums Bridge Inn, a strategic
plan to get more involvement in the south county.
"We want to get people involved in all of the great cultural
events in south Porter County so they can spend the whole day at all
of our different venues. The Porter County Convention Recreation and
Visitor Commission doubled our grant for our festival and showed a
lot of support for this part of the county," Hodson said.
They hope to increase attendance from last year, which was 700
attendees. Food vendors, kids activities and crafts, and lessons in
cooking, gardening, pottery making and weaving round out the day.

Our Hunting
Garry Burch
Ducks filled the sky to the
point it darkened the sunlight much like a dark cloud moving over
the land. Ducks, Geese, Cranes and other waterfowl were everywhere.
That is how my grandfather described the
Kankakee River
area when he was a young boy in the late 1800's. I was able to ask
that question in the early 60's shortly before my Grandfather
passed away. It was a question I had to know about. I often dreamed
of the river and how it was once a wilderness filled with stories of
the good and the bad. But as a young boy interested in hunting I
dreamed of how it once was before the white man changed the
marshlands forever.
Huge populations of waterfowl made the Kankakee
River bottom home on their migrations south for the winter and a
refuge for the trip back north, the marsh also offered fantastic
fishing for pickerel, walleye and pike and bass.
Opportunities for hunting were many if you knew
your way around the vast marshland. For those that didn't know
their way, a guide was usually hired to get the hunters into the
good hunting spots. Getting there was work in its self. A wooden
boat filled with hunter, guide and gear was usually poled down one
of the feeder streams deep into the marsh.
Early hunting on the marsh was usually for
substance or money. Game that was bagged was eaten later at home or
salted and shipped to
to the restaurants there. It was well before anyone ever thought of
conservation so the hunting was from usually October until April.
After word spread about the marshlands
abundance of game, market hunters as well as sportsman from the east
soon made their way to
's Grand Marsh. Many of the eastern hunters soon formed clubs and
bought land in the area and secured hunting rights for their own
of the hunters came by rail to the nearest city. From there they
secured a place to stay or if they were a club member they made
their way to the club house where food, bed and boats waited. Their
thoughts were on seeing and hunting the huge flocks of waterfowl
that seemed to be endless in numbers. Guns that were first on the
marsh were the flintlock fowler type guns and that soon changed to
the percussion guns.
Later it was the hand-loaded, brass shelled
black powder cartridge shotgun that ruled the marsh. It was a single
barreled gun and if you had the money of the eastern men you had the
latest double barreled shotguns of 8ga., 10 ga., or 12 ga. With
black powder it was the bigger the shotgun the better.
The hunting clubs of the times provided great
access into the marsh something only the locals enjoyed until the
clubs came. But change was not all that bad as the clubs provided
jobs for the locals that knew the marsh well. Even with taking
clients out in the marsh, many guides still had their own secret
places just for themselves.
Of the many clubs that sprang up along the
marsh, Colliers lodge was one that provided lodging and access as
well as a bridged crossing over the river to the other side. The
Colliers lodge site was also well known by the early natives that
called the marsh home. It was located at the narrowest point river
where a crossing was possible.
Today the Colliers lodge still stands and an
organized effort to save this important part of our history and
hunting heritage is underway. The site is also a recognized
archeological site and digs are on going at the ancient river
crossing. Indian artifacts as well as more modern artifacts from the
hunting days like brass shotgun shells are and pottery being
Professor Mark Shurr from
Notre Dame
is in charge of the archeological dig. Many volunteers have helped
in the digs recovery efforts. This dig has turned into an exciting
and popular summer attraction to the site. Many have signed up as
members to help and learn the fundamentals of archeology.
For information about the Colliers Lodge you
can contact the Historical society at this web site. www.kankakeevalleyhistoricalsociety.org
On the website you can also read about the long
ago history and hunting stories of the area when it was still a vast
marsh wilderness. If you or a club you belong too would like to
contribute funds to this important cause you can also contact the
valley Historical Society through this website.
Reading many of the hunting stories of that
long lost time makes me dream of what it must have been like to have
this wilderness right at your doorstep. At the Collier lodge site
they try to bring back that piece of history at a small gathering
called the Aukiki Festival. This years date is August 22nd
I took the time to visit this festival last
year and found it to be very interesting. Many groups were
represented there. American Indians, trappers, old duck hunters,
combined with a few mountain men and historical collectors all added
to a education of what early
Kankakee River
life must have been.
One gentleman had an old black powder
double-barreled 10 ga. shotgun that was once king of the marsh on
the rivers backwaters. He educated many on the early duck hunting
equipment and how the ammo was reloaded by hand. The reloading of
the shotgun shells was a past time for many hunters when they were
preparing for a long day on the marsh. Keeping their powder dry was
also a challenge for the hunters.
Some people showed examples of what early
native Indian life was like on the marsh. Others gathered were the
likes of early trappers that worked and explored the marshlands of
Kankakee River
area. Early life on the river was hard work and harsh on the ones
trying to live there.
The archeological dig was also active when the
festival was going on and you could see the work being done.
Professor Mark Shurr (the one I called our own Indiana Jones which
he denied) was there and explained the processes going on during the
dig and showed some of the real artifacts they uncovered. One looks
with amazement at the Indiana artifacts found because at one time in
early history before the white-man came to this land a Native
American held that arrow-head in his hand for trade or shot it from
his hand made bow in an attempt for food. It's a real look at a
time long ago.
This years 2009 dig will be July 6th
–July 23rd. If your interested in being a member and
helping out you can contact the society through the website.
Coming from a family whose heritage was lived
on the
marshland, the rivers history still has its own lure to me. Plan on
attending this years events and please help save the Colliers Lodge
its an important part of our early American hunting and fishing
My thanks to all those who allowed me to
photograph them and share there piece history with the many who read
this article. Keep up the great work.

Other re-enactors -- 19th century fur trappers, French voyageurs,
and Native Americans -- demonstrated life as it was on the
Kankakee River
at the first Aukiki River Festival, hosted by the Kankakee Valley
Historical Society on Saturday.
"Aukiki is the Indian word for (the
) river," said Debra Dubovich, a society board member.
The society, which is striving to restore the 1898 Collier Lodge at
Baum's Bridge on the river's bank, promotes an interest in the

"We've been around now for six years, so people know who we
are" Hodson said. "We wanted to have a festival of our own
to get people down here and see the building and what we're trying
to accomplish."
The lodge, which served as recreational family resort in the 1800s,
would be a museum and public meeting place, Hodson said.
"We see this as a center to tell the whole story here," he
said of the lodge, local wildlife and 150 acres of woods and
riverfront. Hodson said the festival was planned for the same day as
the Kouts Pork Festival and the Baum's Bridge Inn customer
appreciation day.
"We want to develop this into people coming down to southern
to see a variety of events," Hodson said. "This area is
for a reason -- because it is pleasant. Yes, the Dunes is beautiful,
but we also have our own beauty here, too."

"OK. This rant is something that won't bother everyone. In truth it's something that only bothers me every now and then, but when it crops up my faith in the offender as a solid developer is diminished. What am I talking about? Lack of customisation options in video games.
This problem can come in many levels of severity. Let's take Microsoft's Scene it? as an example of a slight problem. The game isn't anything we haven't seen before, but it's done well and is one of the increasing number of titles that appeals to gamers and non-gamers alike. But it's totally devoid of options.
But there's worse still. Video games are designed with right-handers in mind. Thankfully I'm right handed, but for many left handed players the ability to switch the control of the left and right analogue sticks around can make the difference between a game being great and totally unplayable. Again, this is something that isn't hard for a developer to do, but it's something that is often not included. For these 'southpaw' gamers, this option means everything and developers simply don't seem to give the problem the respect it deserves."
What kind of freaking options do you need for SceneIt? ?
There are right and wrong answers, don't complain if you're just stupid.
Why do games now seem to only allow one save now? It means when my friends come over, I'm reluctant to let them have a go because they're going to affect my score. Is there a way round this? It really bugs me!
Thank you for listening :)
