So last night I went on a date with my wife. Grabbed some killer burgers from Red Robin, snatched up some Frozen Yogurt, then made our way to the cinema to take in a flick. I made her watch Spiderman with me, so in turn, I went to watch Pixar's Brave with her. The movie isn't bad at all. Great animation, storyline..etc. Pixar doesn't mess around with their products. Even the mini movie before Brave started was so well done. But prior to that, We watched the previews and I was amazed with how many movies are coming our way from the Animation arena. Growing up, watching cartoons has always been a blast for any kid. But its' really interesting to see how dedicated everyone is to bringing Art to the cinema.
Which got me on a memory train to some great moments in movie animation. I haven't quite figured out what it is about seeing the great graphics and awesome voice acting come together, but it's a totally different feel than what you get from a live action film. Not better or worse for the most part. Just different. So I figured we could take a quick stroll down some of my favorites.
For me, two movies got me started on how much I loved animation. The Pagemaster was such a huge movie for me. Like most of us I'm sure, I So badly wanted to be that kid who befriended the books and went on the epic adventure. Sure he was a bit of a dork and was afraid of the entire planet. But the movie did it's part to help kids find their balls and take the world on with boldness. Plus, he sorta made out with that one book at the very end of the movie. Add to the fact the legendary Christopher Lloyd was in it, and some awesome voice acting and you've got one heck of a fantasy movie on your hands.
Following that was "Who Framed Roger Rabbit". I know "Cool World" was a big hit too, but for me, "Who Framed" was it. There were so many amazing elements to the story. It wasn't your run of the mill light hearted story, yeah there were tons of those moments in it, but it had real world stakes in it. Cartoons worried about murder, going to an Alcoholic detective for help? A womanizing baby that smokes down on Cigars and treats everyone like crap? A rabbit suspecting his lounge singer wife is getting some strange on the side? I've seen the Loony toons try to replicate that kind of impact but it didn't just do it for me. Space Jam was cool when I was young too but nothing really hit it home for me like "Who Framed" did.
Obviously Fantasia was legendary and made IGN's list of top 50 Animated movies of all time. With good form too. The orchestra work in it is absolutely as amazing as the animation is. I can't possibly imagine how long it took to get all those moments and beats synced up. I know writing a movie is hard as much as writing the score to a movie is. But to have the two work so well hand in hand is a feat in it of itself. Few other movies combined music and Animation the way Disney makes them. I didn't see the flick until I was in High School but as a musician, I give mad kudos to those people for toiling hard core.
I don't even know what it is about the Incredibles that makes me love the movie so much. I have no idea how many times I've seen it. Most people have a "Go to" when they're sick and want to watch a movie, This is absolutely mine. The concept of Heroes getting sued, then mixing in with the rest of us to start families and hide out was such an interesting concept. Then to have Bob go through the struggle of not wanting to give up his status as hero, but while balancing his life as a father and husband was just awesome. The animation, voice acting, storyline, all were winners in my book. I'd love for them to make a Sequel to the film, but I'll settle with them making an excellent video game out of it for PS3 and Xbox. Because those last two games that came out were awful.
In an interview, the Wachowski brothers said that they wanted to take their love of Japanese Anime, and combine it with one amazing action film. Say what you want about the second and third one, The Matrix spit fire. I loved that movie. You ever see "Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind"? Well, if that place were real, I would brainwash myself so I could watch The Matrix(and L.O.T.R., and Blood Diamond, and the 6th sense because some A-hole wrecked it for me) for the first time again. That movie rocked. The concept universe they built was outstanding, and all the subtext in it was just too good for them to replicate. So although I did enjoy the ride of the 2nd and 3rd movies, and the two games that followed, None of them quite measured up to how awesome that first journey was. Which is true most of the time, but that didn't stop me from buying all of it on blu-ray.
Side note: How awesome was V for Vendetta?! Pretty freaking awesome.
Well that pretty much wraps it up for me. I could go on and talk about all the other animated films I loved, but You've already read a bunch of mine and now I want to hear about yours! What movies had a huge impact as a kid? What one have been able to poke that piece of nostalgia recently? What are you looking forward to in the future? Let me know!
Game on!

A Board of Supervisors committee unanimously threw its support behind a performance audit of the city's troubled Housing Authority, but not a single supervisor even mentioned the name of the agency's chief, Henry Alvarez, who is being sued by three employees, and they skimmed over the laundry list of tenant complaints dogging the authority.
The Chronicle has been reporting for two months about the lawsuits, other allegations of bullying and intimidation against Alvarez, and low ratings by the federal authorities that fund the agency, which provides housing to low-income San Franciscans. And just last weekend, the newspaper reported that if Alvarez is able to hang on a few more months, he will get a full pension and health care for life.
But supervisors steered clear of such specifics Thursday, instead focusing broadly on a performance and management audit. It still has to be approved by the full board, and will then take about four months to complete.
"We have heard for years about living conditions housing developments," said Supervisor David Campos, who proposed the review and has three Housing Authority properties in his Mission and Bernal Heights district. "I know all of us on this board are committed to making sure the needs of these residents are addressed … A management and performance audit is about simply providing a picture for of what's happening, what ways the agency is serving the needs of constituents and residents. It's an opportunity to see positives and negatives, the areas where there has been improvement, and the areas where improvements could be made if that's the case."

Speaking up for yourself is a learned habit, no one is just born with it, they had to develop the skill. It's an important skill, and one that will benefit you all the days of your life and help you become the best woman you can be. This dovetails nicely with fighting for your dreams, because when you pursue a dream you're going to have to do a lot of speaking up for yourself. There are those that will try to dissuade you from reaching your dreams and goals and you will have to find your voice.

We're told not to look right at the sun. It's too bright for our eyes.
But if you did look for a good while, you'd likely see white light. It's, however, much more than a white light… much, much more.
NASA image reveals the sun's rainbow colors that are invisible to the naked eye.
Colors that can't be seen by the human eye… it's an incredible image that shows the array of colors that can be seen coming from the sun.
The image was all made possible by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, or SDO, using the wide range of wavelengths that the telescope can view.
SDO converts the wavelengths into an image that humans can see. The light is colorized into a rainbow of colors.
The sun actually emits light in all colors. But see yellow is the brightest wavelength from the sun, it is the color that we see with our naked eye.
When all of the visible colors come together, scientists call this 'white light.'
But the SDO isn't just used to show us what we aren't seeing when it comes to colors. Scientists can now track how particles and heat move through the sun's atmosphere.

After unlocking Zack's third costume, you can make the
ball on the end of the antenna glow red by pressing Back,
Forward, Back, F + P+ K during a match.
Another way to light up Zack's antenna for his third
costume is to press Down(2), Black or Down(2), X + A + B.
Yet another way is to make sure that your opponent is on
the ground. Then, press Up, (Black or X + A + B) followed
by Back, Forward or Forward, Back and (Black or X + A +
Each character has at least one taunt. All characters do
this with Back, Forward, Back then Black or X + A +B. Some
characters have more, such as Hayabusa, Brad, Ayane, and
Lei Fang. To do these extra taunts, press Down(2), Black
or X + A + B. Another one is done by pressing Forward,
Back, Forward (Black or X + A + B). Yet another is done by
pressing Back(2), (Black or X + A + B). Note: Only one or
two characters have the last two set of taunt moves.
Alternate snow stage appearance:
Select versus or training mode and highlight the snow
stage. Press X for a light snow, press Y for a blizzard,

When at the last stage against Omega and he stops shooting
at you, get close to him and continuously punch him. Do
not worry if he blocks -- eventually he will stop and you
will knock him out.
Higher survival mode score:
Collect as many items as possible. Another way to raise
your score to live for a long time. You do not need to KO
anyone -- if you look at the bottom left, you will notice
that the score gets higher.
More survival mode items:
A sneaky way to get more items is to attack them while
they are on the ground. Some characters need different
buttons. For example, with Tina and Bass press Up and
(Black or X + A + B) or Down + A. This is a great method
to get Zack's third costume, higher scores, and live
longer (since the food heals you).
Chest jiggle:
Select multi-player mode and choose tag battle. Select any
two characters for player one then choose any character
and Leifang for player two. Pick any stage to fight in.
Fight with Leifang only. When both battles are over,
choose any characters at the character selection screen
for player one, then a character for player two. Choose
any girl character for the second choice for player two
and their chest will jiggle.
There are three nude women in test tubes in the DOATEC HK stage. You cannot see anything because of the position they are in. To find these girls, look for the window opposite to the one that leads to the street. You should start out near that window. Use a powerful attack to push
your opponent through the window. If done correctly, you should now be in a fog filled room. Two of the women will be on one side of the room while the other one is on the opposite side. If you push your opponent into the set of test tubes with one woman, she will stretch her arms and resume her original position.
Ground attacks:
Each character has many ways of attacking while their
opponent is on the ground. To find out how to do these
attacks, go to command list and look for the ground attack
list. This is very helpful in survival mode. Note: Each
character has different ground attacks.
Finishing poses:
There are many finishing poses that can only be seen by
winning a match without getting a single hit. It is
recommended that you set the match to two rounds. It
should say "Great!" the first time, and "Greatest!" the
second time. Note: Each character only has two of these
Alternate victory poses:
By making certain characters fight, the victory pose may
change. For example, if Tina and Bass fight they will
sometimes say something different after they win. Note:
This does not work with all characters.
Alternate entrances:
Each character has one entrance that can only be viewed by
losing a match against Genra. After continuing, Genra and
your character will make their entrance; only this time it
will be different.
Unlock Ein
Complete ''Story Mode'' with all characters. Then play ''Survival Mode'' or ''Time Attack Mode'' and get ranked in and enter your nickname as ''EIN''. After that, Ein will be playable in all modes except ''Story Mode''.
Unlock Staff Roll
Complete ''Story Mode'' with all characters. The last character you complete the game with will show the ending movie and then shows the staff roll credits.
Unlock Theater Mode
Complete ''Story Mode'' with a character to unlock ''Theater Mode'' and that ending movie with that character you play is playable.
Kasumi's Hairstyle
When selecting Kasumi, press Y for her long hair or A for her ponytail.
Unlock Kasumi's 3rd Costume
Complete ''Exercise Mode'' in ''Sparring Mode''.
Unlock Zack's 3rd Costume
Defeat 20 opponents in ''Survival Mode''.
Unlock Ein's 3rd Costume
Complete ''Time Attack Mode'' under 6 minutes.
To unlock everyone's third, fourth or fifth costumes (if available), go into survival mode, choose your character and keep fighting until an "X" that is similar to the Xbox logo appears. Collect it and die (or keep fighting). If you quit, it will disappear and you will not get the costume.

Lore changes :
Elise's entrancing beauty and grace conceal the pitiless, black heart of a deadly predator. With ruthless cunning, she lures the unsuspecting with promises of favor from the spider god. Having exchanged her humanity to become something far more sinister, Elise sacrifices the innocent to maintain her power and seemingly eternal youth. No one can fathom how many have been caught in her web, slain to feed her insatiable hunger.
Swift and lethal, Evelynn is one of the most deadly - and expensive - assassins in all of Runeterra. Able to merge with the shadows at will, she patiently stalks her prey, waiting for the right moment to strike. While Evelynn is clearly not entirely human, and her heritage remains unclear, it is believed that she hails from the Shadow Isles - though her link with that tortured realm remains shrouded in mystery.
Hecarim is a towering, armored specter whose name is whispered fearfully across the length and breadth of Runeterra. He patrols the Shadow Isles, running down anyone foolish enough to set foot upon its cursed soil. As the vanguard of undeath, Hecarim rides forth from the Black Mist, laughing mockingly as he tramples the living beneath his iron-shod hooves.
Karthus is a harbinger of oblivion, zealously devoted to the beauty and clarity of death. Even in his youth, he was utterly obsessed with mortality, growing ever more relentless in the pursuit of his dark desires. Yearning to be one with death itself, Karthus journeyed to the Shadow Isles and willingly offered himself to undeath. Karthus transformed into the Deathsinger, a dread lich existing solely to deliver the blessed gift of annihilation.
Maokai was bound to a gnarled tree by the dark magic that transformed the Shadow Isles. The once-peaceful nature spirit is now a corruption of his former self. Infused with power that he never asked for, he has become a destructive force, sundering his enemies with wild magic and crushing limbs. Maokai continues to wander Valoran, seeking the means to bring life back to his forest home.
The vicious wraith Mordekaiser is among the most terrifying and hateful of spirits that haunt the Shadow Isles. Entombed in ancient armor, the Master of Metal is said to be the first of the unliving, a revenant who existed even before the Shadow Isles were wrought. His twisted soul thrives on his own suffering, as well as the anguish he inflicts upon others. Those who dare face Mordekaiser in battle risk a horrific curse: he enslaves his victims' souls to become instruments of destruction.
Thresh is a sadistic, spectral reaper who relishes tormenting the living and the dead. Once a jailer who mercilessly brutalized all under his charge, Thresh was hanged from his own chains by the prisoners he had tortured. With his vicious essence unbound, the Chain Warden roams Runeterra in search of prey. He derives twisted joy from slowly breaking the minds of his most defiant victims, before trapping their souls within the sickly green light of his lantern.
A terrifying and tragic figure, Yorick is a ghoulish being that exists on the edge of mortality. Some say he was the last of his family line, dying without an heir to continue its legacy, and that he is cursed to continue to his family's duty even after death. Wielding the twisted shovel he bore in life, he continues his macabre work, endlessly digging and filling graves upon the haunted Shadow Isles.

as I have a thing about pelicans..lol
You certainly do. See a doctor, he'll give you something for it. :er:
Great capture!
Great shot
That shot needs this smilie!
Fantastic low key shot - great colours, exposure, sharpness - just how to you get these?
wow.. nice detail!
Thanks guys
Overread I underexpose and bring out the detail in Raw this was taken with 500mm sigma lens..Thanks for lovely comment!
I'll second that string of smiley's. Amazing picture and color/sharpness. I'd have this sucker printed out pretty large and on my wall if I ever get a shot like that.
Great, cute cuddly and a really cool image to boot. I love the texture in the feathers, the black and white of the whole image with the dash of orange. It may have helped to have a little more space to the right but it looks like it would be awkward to see the detail in this resolution if you put more in and you might loose the detail. If I was going to print it for my wall I might be tempted to put a fair bit more black space to the right and dodge the bottom and far left a bit so as the white does not bisect the edge at all.
looks like a Donald Trump version of a Pelican.
Great shot!!!!, definitely worth a wall hanging.
Another beautifully shot pelican. Great detail in the feathers, and I like the light. [I've gotta agree with Matt-L, it looks like it's wearing a toupee or something! ]
Cool Shot! Very cool!
excellent,, love the dark backround at adds alot of seperation,, very nice detail and coloring on the bird,,cool shot !!:thumbup:

Catherine Rowland
Published 7:00 pm, Wednesday, December 22, 2004
Catherine Rowland, 89, of Midland, died Wednesday morning, Dec. 22, 2004, at her home.
Mom was born Catherine Owens in a home just north of Midland on April 18, 1915. Her schooling through the first two years of high school took place in Hope. She attended Midland High for her last two years while working for a family in town in exchange for room and board. She was able to visit her own family on the weekends. At that time it was possible to earn a teaching certificate at a "County Normal" school. Mom took her courses at Carpenter School in a one-year program and she really enjoyed the experience. After receiving her teaching certificate she taught for two years at a one-room schoolhouse in Edenville. The school building is no longer there but she remembered it stood on the south side of the river, not far from the current post office. She loved teaching in one-room schoolhouses. Her family lived close to the school and on cold winter mornings her father would start the fire while she played the pump organ to accompany the kid's square dances or Virginia Reel until the room was warm. Her next assignment was a one-room schoolhouse in Coleman, which is no longer there either. She spoke often about the way the school was surrounded on three sides by beautiful trees. After two years at the Coleman school she moved back to Midland where she taught for one year near the current Longview Elementary School. That experience convinced her to go to Central Michigan University for a bachelor's degree. She worked her way through college and then returned to the Midland school system with her degree, where she taught for two years in the Fourth Ward School. During World War II Mom went to teach in Willow Run for one year. Mom really liked the year in Willow Run, especially the students and her home in Ann Arbor. The war ended and Mom took a job teaching in Rochester schools for a year and a half. She didn't finish the second year because Dan Rowland asked her to marry him and return to Midland. They were married on Dec. 26, 1946, in St. Brigid's Church. They raised eight children-easily enough to fill her own one-room schoolhouse. In 1967 St. Brigid's School asked if she would return to the classroom. She gladly accepted the offer and taught and eventually served as principal until she retired in 1985 at the young age of 70. Her remaining years were spent doing the things she loved, being active in the church, caring for her family, sewing and working in her yard. She is already missed. She passed away peacefully at her home in the company of her family in the early morning of Dec. 22,2004.
Surviving are her children and their spouse's, Ray and Rosemary Rowland of Midland, Margaret Rowland of San Diego, Calif., Ruth and Jack Ham of Winchester, Va., Laura Rowland of Hemlock, John Rowland of Gladwin, Jane and Tim Brady of Huntington Beach, Calif. and Mary and Dan Riley of Midland; grandchildren, Jared, Jeff, Sam, Nick, Dylan, Katie, Eric, David, Lindsay, Christopher, Michael, Becky and Daniel; brothers and sisters and their spouses, John and Lauretta Owens of Midland, Julia Misko of Grand Rapids, Mary Hammond of Tampa, Fla., Pat and Anne Owens of Venice, Fla., Bill Owens of Waterford and Michael and Wilma Owens of Midland; and many nieces and nephews. Her daughter Susan Rowland; and sister Alice McDowell predeceased her.
Mass of Christian burial will be celebrated 10 a.m., Monday, Dec. 27, 2004, from St. Brigid Catholic Church. The Rev. Father James Wm. Bessert will officiate, with burial in Old Calvary Cemetery.
Catherine's family will receive friends at the Ware-Smith-Woolever Funeral Home, 1200 W. Wheeler St. on Sunday from 2-4 and 6-8 p.m. and at the church on Monday from 9 a.m. until the time of Mass. A Christian Vigil service will take place 7 p.m., Sunday evening at the funeral home.
Those planning an expression of sympathy are asked to consider the St. Brigid Catholic School or Midland Community Mental Health-Give Me Shelter Program (GMS). Please share your thoughts and memories of Catherine with the family at the funeral home, church or through waresmithwoolever.com.

Today's editorial: New revelations that natural gas drilling may have damaged water supplies in New York — and went unnoticed by the Department of Environmental Conservation — demand a deeper investigation.
One of the natural gas industry's selling points on why New Yorkers should welcome drilling of the vast Marcellus Shale is that the method of choice, hydraulic fracturing, has never contaminated a drinking well or water supply, or caused any environmental mishap in this state.
Never. That's a pretty definitive word, allowing no exceptions. But in this case, it may require an asterisk. Or a bunch of them.
The state Department of Environmental Conservation has so far supported the industry's assertion. But now comes Walter Hang of Ithaca, a researcher who runs a company that tracks and maps environmental problems. He's also an anti-drilling activist.
Mr. Hang says that the DEC's records are missing some 20 years worth of county health department reports on water and gas problems in three counties in western New York — Allegany, Cattaraugus and Chautauqua. Those included 135 oil and natural gas incidents in Chautauqua County alone, Mr. Hang says. In some instances, he says, water was contaminated with brine. In others, drinking water could be ignited.
Whether these incidents were tied to hydraulic fracturing — a process by which a mix of water and chemicals is injected into deep rock, causing it to crack and release trapped gas — is not yet known. The DEC says only that it is looking into Mr. Hang's correspondence.
That's certainly better than not looking into these issues, which may have been the case all these years. It turns out that Mr. Hang is not the first person to sound the alarm; this may merely be the first time DEC heard it.
The records Mr. Hang produced, for example, show that six years ago, a Chautauqua County Health Department water resource specialist wrote that his agency had "investigated numerous complaints of potential contamination problems resulting from oil- and gas-drilling activities."
The specialist, Bill Boria, said there were "suspected ground water contamination problems resulting from oil and gas drilling activities and hydrofracturing."
And, he added, the reported complaints "are probably just a fraction of actual problems that occurred."
That would be a far cry from never.
There are really two issues here.
First, DEC needs to determine whether gas drilling — particularly the hydraulic fracturing method that the industry wants to use to tap the gas-rich Marcellus Shale — has contaminated wells or water supplies in New York, or caused any environmental problem here. If "never" is actually "sometimes," it clearly has more work to do persuading the public that drilling on such a large scale would be safe.
And second, the agency that's supposed to be monitoring New York's environment, and the natural gas industry, needs to explain why reports of environmental problems in three counties over two decades come as a surprise.

Rafa Benitez believes Napoli can have the Scudetto and Champions League, "but there's no pressure to win straight away."
The former Liverpool, Inter and Chelsea tactician took over from Walter Mazzarri this summer and is enacting wholesale changes at the Stadio San Paolo.
"It is not difficult to keep Napoli in the Scudetto hunt, as you just need to believe in your work and have passion," he told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
"I already beat Juventus when I was at Liverpool and that was a satisfying moment. They have the advantage now and there are other competitive squads, but we have to stay in the race.
"Milan are still strong, Roma have quality, Lazio are organised and with Mario Gomez Fiorentina are aiming high.
"President Aurelio De Laurentiis told me we can't have everything in one month... I can even not win this year, so there's no pressure to win straight away. He is a very intelligent person and respects the role of the professional. We have a good rapport and he understands immediately what I mean.
"We are changing the whole structure of the team, which is a risk, but are certain that by working hard we'll do well. In Naples I have found the passion of Spain and the enthusiasm of the Liverpool fans."
The Partenopei have already spent big on the transfer market, but with Edinson Cavani sold to PSG they are targeting a centre-forward.
"We are looking for good players at the right price, regardless of nationality. Having said that, it's clear that to compete at a certain level we need players with experience and international quality. I see Lorenzo Insigne behind the striker in a 4-2-3-1. He only wants to start from the left, but I think on the right he'd be just as unpredictable.
"We will certainly sign two centre-forwards, one who is more of an anchor and another with greater movement."
This is Benitez's second foray into Serie A, as he parted company with Inter by mutual consent after just six months in December 2010.
"Am I seeking revenge on Inter? I say 100 per cent no. Even if they told me they'd buy players and didn't, then sold Mario Balotelli to raise funds. I hold no grudges.
"I just remember that in five months I won two trophies and a Club World Cup they had been without for years. Now I've turned the page and Napoli is a challenge that looks far into the future."

18 hurt in road mishap in MisOr town-A A +A
Thursday, August 21, 2014
DUE to an overused tire, a passenger jeepney rammed into a tree that brought all of its passengers and the driver to the hospital Wednesday morning in Barangay Kasinglot, Tagoloan town in Misamis Oriental.
A report from the Tagoloan municipal police station said 18 passengers were injured following a Jasaan liner jeepney with plate number KJV-331 drove into a mahogany tree. The driver was identified as Resbert Ronquillo.
Police Inspector Maricris Mulat, Tagoloan police chief, told Sun*Star Cagayan de Oro the jeepney came from Jasaan and was on its way to Cagayan de Oro when its right front tire exploded along the national highway in Tagoloan around 9 a.m.
Ronquillo told Mulat during the investigation that he tried to steer the vehicle after its wheel blew up to prevent further damage.
He admitted that the decades-old jeepney had thinning tires and had already lost its traction.
"Wala jud nako nadala. Gibangga na lang nako ang kahoy para molihay sa mas dako nga damage (I could no longer control it. I slammed the jeepney into a tree to avoid further damage)," Ronquillo said in a TV interview.
Maricel Macapagal, owner of the jeepney, vowed to extend financial assistance to the victims.
Authorities detained Roquillo at the Tagoloan police detention cell who will possibly face reckless imprudence resulting to multiple physical injuries.
Mulat reminded motorists especially those bringing passengers to regularly check the condition of their vehicles to prevent them from road accidents.
"It helps a lot to check your brake and tires and the entire condition of your vehicle," Mulat noted.
At press time, the families of the victims have not yet talked to the police for any possible settlement with the vehicle's operator.

Buddha Tormented By Pol Pot[CD]
~ Molding
Product Notes
What do members of Remy Zero, the Screamin' Cheetah Wheelies and Hayseed Dixie have in common? Not much. There's great music, of course, and great live shows. And the word "great" isn't an accident or hyperbole - they are all great. Other than that, though, the bands don't have much in common except this: They are all Molding. Members from all those bands (and other bands) show up to play on Molding'S bitter and brilliant new record, "Buddha Tormented by Pol Pot". As the title might suggest, the album represents the struggle and balance between enlightenment and malevolence. Also, the album represents getting drunk and writing caustic songs about ex-girlfriends - that part isn't really suggested in the title so much. From the personal to the political to stories where revelations are hard learned to stories where revelations go tragically unlearned (or, perhaps, simply ignored), Buddha... is an angry, witty, intellectual album packed with body blows and knockout punches. It also answers the question: Who killed Frank Zappa? Musically, Molding rocks while wearing it's punk and country influences like twin badges of honor. Growling guitars and soaring violins are equally at home. The aggressive attitude of the lyrics are meticulously matched by the music. Singer/writer/guitarist Eric Watkins brings his offbeat ideas to life with the help of brother Bobby Watkins (Screamin' Cheetah Wheelies), John Wheeler (Hayseed Dixie), Cinjun Tate (Remy Zero), June Kato (Psomni) and other notable Nashville musicians. NOTE TO RADIO STATIONS: The following songs have bad, bad words in them, and though they are essential and tastefully used, if you play them on terrestrial radio you'll probably go to Hell. Also you might get unwanted attention from the FCC. "Woke Up Mad" - (2 f***s and a bunch of Goddamns) "Sun Tzu, Machiavelli and Iceberg Slim" - (a solitary shit) "We'll Get Through This, Baby" - (shit again) "Cancer Ray" - (2 impeccably placed motherf***ers)

Police looking for Midland man in Odessa fatal hit-and-run
Published 7:00 pm, Tuesday, May 6, 2008
From Staff Reports
ODESSA - A 19-year-old Midland man is being sought by Odessa police as the prime suspect in a hit-and-run accident that killed a woman early Saturday morning.
Authorities have issued an arrest warrant for Isaac Lopez, a Hispanic male with black hair and brown eyes.
He is said to be about 5-foot-9-inches tall weighing around 165 pounds. Officials also believe he has a tattoo of "Thug Nasty" written across his abdomen and a tattoo on his upper left arm.
Around 5:39 a.m., 39-year-old Melissa Gonzales Bustamante was struck by a vehicle believed to have been driven by Lopez in the 1800 block of Sunset Boulevard.
She was a pedestrian, and the vehicle that hit her fled the scene. Bustamante was taken to Medical Center Hospital where she died of injuries she received.
Lopez was last seen in a tan Chevrolet extended cab pick up and could be charged with a second-degree felony of manslaughter and a charge of failure to stop and render aid.
Anyone with information as to the whereabouts of Lopez is asked to contact the Odessa Police Department at (432) 335-5756 or the Odessa Crime Stoppers at (432) 333-TIPS.

The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, has drawn a storm of criticism ( BBC, Times, Guardian, Independent, Telegraph) by calling for a "plural jurisdiction" that allows for Islamic law to be recognised in Britain.
It seems unavoidable and, as a matter of fact, certain conditions of sharia are already recognised in our society and under our law, so it is not as if we are bringing in an alien and rival system. We already have in this country a number of situations in which the internal law of religious communities is recognised by the law of the land as justifying conscientious objections in certain circumstances.
There is a place for finding what would be a constructive accommodation with some aspects of Muslim law as we already do with aspects of other kinds of religious law.
That principle that there is only one law for everybody is an important pillar of our social identity as a Western democracy. But I think it is a misunderstanding to suppose that people don't have other affiliations, other loyalties which shape and dictate how they behave in society and that the law needs to take some account of that.
As I understand it, under English (and, I'm guessing, Australian) law, there is already the following arrangement:
In the event of a civil dispute, if both parties independently agree to it, that dispute can be heard in arbitration by somebody (or a group of people) separate from the courts and the decision of that arbitration will be binding under the law. There are nevertheless legal limits as to what the arbitration may declare.
As a first example, this practice is widely used in investment law, both domestic and international.
As a second example, it would be available if a tenant is complaining that their landlord hasn't fixed the heating.
At present, there is a Jewish version of this set up in Britain. There is nothing to stop a Muslim equivalent being set up, if it hasn't already.
The key point is that the arbitration can not proceed unless both parties agree beforehand to take part and abide by the ruling. If either one does not, then it goes before the regular courts.
Where the archbishop has gone off the rails, in my opinion, is that he seems to be calling for an entirely extra-judicial set-up; a competing system of justice that is parallel to (not a component of) the general law of the state. That is simply wrong.

Odds are patriotic darts betting pays
The UK home nations may not be great at international sport, but if you would like to wager on one that can hold its own on the world stage then darts betting has to be top of your list.
Perhaps the domination of home grown UK talent is one of the fundamental reasons why betting on darts is so popular. It probably also helps that our darts champions look so ordinary. They are more likely to sport a beer belly than a six pack. These are heroes we can relate to. No one ever looked at the darts' legend that is Phil Taylor and felt bad about themselves.
Darts has become a rare gem in the tarnished tiara of UK sporting achievement. There are so many other sports that empty the pockets of loyal, patriotic UK punters every single time the UK' s talent levels are tested in a world championship environment. The UK can no longer even keep up with global competition in the very sports that it is credited with inventing.
Placing a bet on the football World Cup odds has consistently been a dire disappointment for anyone optimistic or stupid enough to think that England stood more than a snowball' s chance in hell of replicating their victory in 1966. That is nearly 50 years of failure, quite a non-achievement.
Even Snooker Betting, one of the final bastions of hope for the thousands of patriotic UK punters, has succumbed to the general trend of a downward spiral for UK hopes. In the 2011 Masters at Wembley, Ronnie O' Sullivan exited the tournament in the first round leaving Marco Fu of Hong Kong and Ding Junhui to contest the final. Thank heaven for darts betting. Where else in the world' s sporting calendar is there a very good chance that a bet on a UK contender to win will prove profitable?
There have been a few hiccups for UK hopes on the world darts stage, particularly in the British Darts Organisation World Championships for reasons that are explained later. The Netherland' s Raymond van Barneveld (Barney) has put the proverbial spanner in the works on a number of occasions.
His countryman, Jelle Klaasen has also spoiled the party for patriotic punters along with Canada's John Part but, looking at a list of former World Darts Champions and their national flags, it is the red cross of St George that dominates.
Another extraordinary feature of this game is that, thanks to certain differences of opinion back in 1993, there are currently two world championship competitions held each year in Britain. Darts betting fans have an additional opportunity to see local talent triumph against the rest of the world.
There is a full calendar of high quality competitions to bet on throughout the year but there is nothing like a world championships to bring out the best in the UK' s top players. Both are held in January.
The British Darts Organisation (BDO) have staged their version of the world championships since the late 1970s. Originally held in Nottingham, their championships are now fought in the leafy commuter belt suburbs of Frimley Green in Surrey.
The Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) started holding their own competition in 1994, successfully snaffling all the BDO' s previous winners to play in their event in Purfleet in Essex. With the very top UK talents shoehorned into the PDC World Championships the door was opened in the BDO world championships for looters from beyond UK shores.
Followers of UK players could safely focus their darts betting activities on the PDC world championships. English players have prevailed on well over 80% of occasions. Phil 'The Power' Taylor's record in this tournament like so many others is phenomenal. Since Raymond van Barneveld switched from the BDO to the PDC world championships in 2007 the statistics on the number of all UK finals have gone downhill but the domination of the English is yet to be disturbed.
What are the darts betting options?
You will find much more than a win/draw/win betting market in the majority of darts matches. There are plenty of markets that are not even related to the ultimate result. In fact the list of options is endless. You can also try predicting who will be ahead at various stages of the match and benefit if you manage to bet correctly on the winning margins.
Most importantly, you can see that there are markets to suit both serious punters and those who just want to have a bit of fun to make the match more interesting. Whatever your approach to betting the darts odds, there is nothing to stop you making money on it.

There has been discussion of the need to overhall America's financial system for years. This talk ramped up dramatically when the economy went in the tank and many blamed an apparent lack of regulations to keep Wall Street in check. Well after months of intense discussion, the President has rolled out his plan to reform the financial system. This plan is expansive. It covers everything from complex Wall Street trading scenarios to a straightforward home loan.
Given the recent groundswell of support for increased regulations it's not surprised to see such wide-sweeping proposals for reform, but it can be a lot to process. If you're looking for a good summary of the President's plan, read this. There are a bunch of changes in store for the financial sector, what do you think?

Michigan's largest used and rare bookstore
Navigating our Store
John K. King Used & Rare Books is a bookstore out of its time. The main store stock, as well as that of our branches in Ferndale and WSU, are completely uncomputerized collections that are organized by a team of energetic and helpful staff members into a multitude of topics and sub-topics. Each floor has a manager that is responsible for knowledge and maintenance of the categories held there. This means we can't do computer searches and tell you if we have a title. However, we find this does create a unique book shopping experience that encourages getting lost in the aisles. Don't worry, we'll gently push you out at closing time.
The store itself is comprised of four navigable floors with various topics on each. We have directories and maps that we pass out freely upon entry that specify the floor and aisle of many of our topics. In addition the books are mostly arranged alphabetically by the author within topics, with a few exceptions. Finally, our knowledgable staff are identifiable by our branded aprons and can be depended on to help you locate whatever it is you're searching for.
You can see a preview of our wall-to-wall book experience by checking out the Preview of our store.
History of the Bookstore
John K. King began his book trading back in 1965 as a teenager and has continually advanced in the trade ever since. He has owned stores before the current location, including a spot in the Michigan Theatre Building, that now serves as an ornate parking structure in downtown Detroit. The current location was the former Advance Glove Factory, hence the giant glove painted on the exterior of the building. The factory ceased operations in the 1970s and sat vacant until Mr. King purchased it and finally moved over his operation in 1983. Then he went on to purchased the former Otis Elevator Company building on the same block to expand the parking lot and provide office space for the bookstore. Since then Mr. King has stubbornly been dragged into the digital age ever so subtly, with computerizing the rare book holdings for purchase online and allowing the current social media and website presence you can now take advantage of.
You can read a more detailed account of John King's career and the buildings the store occupies on our about us page.
Naturally, what is a rare and valuable book varies from person to person, but the ones we've deemed to be of a highly collectable sort are kept apart from the main browsable collection. If you can imagine, John King was selling these books all over the country via a printed catalog before he was coaxed into making an admittedly musty-looking website catalog. The rare book holdings are the only titles that are fully cataloged and searchable online. At rarebooklink.com the detailed description of all rare items can be read and inquires for purchasing them can be addressed to firstname.lastname@example.com. Additionally, if you're planning to visit the main store in person we encourage you to visit the listings at rarebooklink to see what we have in stock. Should you be interested in purchasing anything we can have it brought to the store for you to examine.
If you're searching for an item that could be in our main store stock you can always contact us via email, a written letter or postcard, a process you can find out more about on our Contact page.

Double Horse 9116 4 Channel Helicopter Review
What do you think about this video?
Kyle's Loft: Well i chareged it and it was full charge i tried it it wont even
Ift up and just turns of dont know whats the problem with it
Heli Fan Ensenada: Very complete review, indeed it is one of the best Helis I've flown.
It was my second 4ch FP helicopter, and even now when I fly 6ch cp Helis and Multirotors, I still enjoy going back to the 9116.
It is TOUGH and sturdy.
I am using it to teach my 3,5 year old son to fly. It can withstand a beating...
What can I say, I love it.
george casey: have you done a revew on the syma 3ch f1 rc heli
Sam Johnson: my saves the trims
K V: Thank you for a fantastic and indepth review!
riverstrat: ...cont... The unavoidable climb while moving forward is a disaster as well as just not being able to 'fixed spot hover' . In defense of the s301 though , it is hella fun and has been fairly reliable and indestructible given the abuse I've put it through. Any recomedations appreciated, I'd like to keep within a budget of under $150... Again , need about 26" , 2.4 ghz (just not 27mhz) ,3 or 4 channel, still easy to fly , one that does exceedingly well at FIXED POINT HOVER. Thanks...☺☺
riverstrat: I have the syma s301g , getting ready for an upgrade to 2.4ghz and need one about 20% + - larger. I do like the coax bladed copters but not dead set on that feature. Problem with mine: I mainly need a super stable hover and a slightly better payload capacity. Mine will stay in one spot fairly well (indoors) but will not maintain elevation, there is not sweet spot on the main rotor rpm to get it to maintain. Also when moving forward it wants to also increase main rotor and climb ...cont...
Kyle's Loft: I dont like when they say they are knd of cccrrraaappp
sara maharjan: I read most of the feedback however I think that it's a great youtube video. My sibling just wishes to get excellent with chicks. He came to understand a freak load from a web page called Master Attraction. (Google it.) The help about seducing women through clubs in those emails via that website helped get got him his first freaks in around 4 long yrs. I got annoyed though due to the fact I heard them all. Horrible.
Lazy Gamer: Don´t you see a button in the remote control. If you are inexperiente in this subject ask someone to help you . Just don´t break the helicopter! :)Portugal , I sell 90 cm helicopters for 85 dollars .Bye
ghouse khasim: your voice is like Microsoft sam computer
mrbanana779: Hi, I just bought this helicopter a few days ago. It flies amazing out of the box. The only problem that I had with mine, is that one of the trim-buttons did not work, I wasn't able to trim the side 2 side movement of the helicopter and it flew just a little bit to the right. I am going to return this helicopter tomorrow, and see if I can get one with a working transmitter. But this helicopter is alot of fun to fly, even with a broken transmitter :D
David Obeid: Not very good advising to add weight on the nose for faster flight. A heli must be balanced at the main rotor head, adding weight at the front would make it track all over the place. It will affect your swash plate. If you want a more more heavy model at least "shift " weight, do not add. Move the battery forward or other components. It can be done regardless what heli.
TheMrTape: I just realized from another video that the canopy was damaged by the balance bar, it also made a little bump in the tail boom. Great design!
TheMrTape: The canopy isn't sturdy at all. Mine broke on first crash(due to range loss), I bought it because I thought the canopy was tough; it's not.
joseico90: apparently the trim settings CAN be saved using the SUBTRIM function on the menu. :)
Htownrule: I think its too big and bulky it doesn't fly as good as the 9116
Will G: Now I saw the 9117, new model. even better
Will G: check the 9117, Newest model. very nice
Htownrule: @will G yea its better than 9100
Schools: Learn how to get phlebotomy training in California! The job pays decent money for the amount of schools needed to graduate.

The latest rebuttal is for an Answers Magazine article from the January-March 2008 issue. The title of the article was High & Dry Sea Creatures, and it was the first of a six part series of flood evidences. The rebuttal can be found here. The article claims that finding fossils high on mountaintops is proof of a global worldwide flood. However, there is no scientific proof that the claims by the young earth author, Andrew Snelling, are true.

Story highlights
- Death toll from attack rises to 22, police confirm children among the dead
- Attacker, believed to have been carrying an improvised bomb, also died at the scene
Manchester, England (CNN)Monday's attack outside an Ariana Grande concert at Manchester Arena killed at least 22 people, including children, and was carried out by a lone suspect carrying a bomb, Manchester Police said.
"The attacker, I can confirm, died at the arena. We believe the attacker was carrying an improvised explosive device, which he detonated, causing this atrocity," said Chief Constable Ian Hopkins.
While police believe the suspect was acting alone, investigations are ongoing to establish if he was part of a network.
As many as 400 police were deployed overnight, Hopkins said early Tuesday. He added that residents should expect to see more armed officers on the streets.
If confirmed as a terror incident, it would be the deadliest attack on British soil since the 2005 London bombings, which killed 52 people.
Latest developments
- Almost 60 people were also injured in the attack
- UK Prime Minister Theresa May: incident an "appalling terrorist attack"
- Government to hold emergency Cobra committee Tuesday
- Ariana Grande tweets that the incident left her "broken"
- Mancunians open their doors, offer rides, to those left stranded by area lockdown
- Emergency phone line set up: +44 (0)161 856 9400
How it happened
As concertgoers -- many of them young fans of the singer -- were beginning to leave the arena after Grande's closing set, an explosion rocked the area. Confusion followed as people fled in search of safety, and the sound of wailing sirens soon cut through the smoky air outside the arena.
UK attack: More coverage
The incident happened shortly after Grande had left the stage, according to eyewitnesses. Coral Long, the mother of a 10-year-old concertgoer, told CNN's Hala Gorani that they were getting ready to leave the arena when they heard a loud bang from the left side of the arena.
People started running following the explosion, she said. "How we weren't crushed to death is a miracle."
She said her daughter was "devastated -- for her to be 10 years old and witness something like that is just horrific."
Social media posts from the scene showed panicked concertgoers running down the arena's stairs in an attempt to get away.
The city's Manchester Royal Infirmary Hospital was blocked off to all but essential staff due to what the facility called a major incident.
Grande, who had just finished the first of three scheduled UK performances when the blast hit, was not injured. She tweeted several hours later: "broken. from the bottom of my heart, i am so so sorry. i don't have words."
After the initial incident, police carried out a precautionary controlled explosion nearby but the item turned out to be discarded clothing, not a "suspicious item," Greater Manchester Police said.
A US official said suicide bombing is now considered to be the "likely" reason for the blast and a male at the scene in Manchester has been identified as the probable bomber.
A US Department of Homeland Security statement said it was "closely monitoring" the situation and added that the department has "no information to indicate a 'specific credible threat involving music venues in the United States.''
Home Secretary Amber Rudd said: "This particular attack was aimed at the most vulnerable in our society, young people, children at a concert." She added that Britons should "remain alert, not alarmed" in the wake of the apparent attack.
The crowd was made up of mainly younger people who had come to see Grande, who is on a European and Latin American tour.
Distraught, waiting by the phone
Manchester resident Charlotte Campbell told CNN her 15-year-old daughter, Olivia, went to the concert with a friend, and neither had been in contact since the explosion.
"We've tried everything we can. They're telling us to wait by the phones. Her dad is out looking. ... It's the most horrible feeling ever, to know your daughter is there and you don't know whether she's dead or alive," she said.
Through tears, Campbell said she didn't know how anyone could do this to "innocent children."
"I want her home and I want her safe. ... I just want her to walk through the door."
Eyewitness Karen Ford had taken her 13-year-old daughter to the concert.
"It was mayhem on the street, there were children crying, trying to get in touch with parents, parents on their phones trying to contact their kids," she said, adding that cell connection was poor as so many people were using their phones simultaneously.
"I brought my baby home, which some people won't be (able to do) tonight."
A nearby Holiday Inn hotel became a focal point for parents searching for their children who had been at the concert. Some hotels opened their doors to people who could not get home due to an area lockdown.
Taxis and local people offered free rides to those affected.
Manchester Victoria railway station, which is next to the arena, will remain closed Tuesday, UK National Rail announced.
Emergency meeting Tuesday
British Prime Minister Theresa May issued a statement, confirming that police are treating the incident as a terror attack. She has suspended campaigning for June 8 general election and will chair a meeting of the Government's emergency Cobra committee on Tuesday morning.
"We are working to establish the full details of what is being treated by the police as an appalling terrorist attack," the statement read. "All our thoughts are with the victims and the families of those who have been affected."
ther British political parties followed suit by canceling events planned for Tuesday.
ther British political parties followed suit by canceling events planned for Tuesday.
The leader of Britain's Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, offered support on Twitter. "Terrible incident in Manchester. My thoughts are with all those affected and our brilliant emergency services."
Stars react
Universal Music Group, parent company for Grande's record label, Republic Records, posted a statement on Facebook.
"We are deeply saddened to learn of tonight's devastating event in Manchester. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by this tragedy," the post says.
Musicians such as Ed Sheeran, Nicki Minaj and Katy Perry all offered supportive tweets.

Sebastian Janikowski dealt with the aftereffects of missing three field goal attempts the best way he knew, by showing up Monday morning for a kicking session that typically isn't part of his weekly routine.
In his first public comments since he missed a 32-yard field goal attempt on the game's final play in Sunday's 24-23 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, Janikowski said Monday that he envisioned a memorable game based upon his pregame warm-ups.
"My warm-ups were crazy good," he told Bay Area News Group. "Those were the best warm-ups I've had in my career. You go into a game and you think, 'Man, I got everything.' "
As it turned out, Janikowski had little go his way Sunday. LaRod Stephens-Howling returned his game-opening kickoff 102 yards for a touchdown and then Janikowski missed wide right from 41 and 58 yards, before he missed wide left on a potential game-winner.
"Everything just went wrong," Janikowski said. "I watched the film, and my follow-through was horrible. I watched (it) for hours. It was just terrible."
Janikowski drilled a 55-yard field goal in pregame warm-ups and followed it up with a 63-yarder. He exited the field feeling as if anything was possible.
He never envisioned missing one field goal attempt, let alone three. He missed three against Tennessee on Dec. 22, 2001 — including one on the Raiders' final play while they trailed 13-10 — which he cited as an example of how he can bounce back from this setback.
Coach Tom Cable said he has all the confidence in the world in Janikowski, who is the game's highest-paid kicker (he signed a four-year, $16 million contract in the offseason.). On Monday, Cable pulled aside Janikowski for a pep talk.
"I told him I love him, I'd go to him again in the same situation, and he would probably have to win two or three games just like that for us this year," Cable said. "And he'll probably do it."
Cable said Janikowski took the first step to putting the forgettable game behind him.
"What's important is he was out early (Monday) morning kicking balls. What do you do? When you get a setback, you analyze it, you look at it and you say, 'How can I fix it?' and you go to work. And he did that."
Janikowski said he appreciates the support he's received from Cable and his teammates.
"It's like a lot of people say, 'You win as a team, you lose as a team,' " Janikowski said. "But I take it personal. That's something, if you call me at 3 in the morning, I can do that. It's just one of those freaky things. I don't know what happened. My finish wasn't there. It's nice to hear that they got my back. It helps me mentally coming to work Wednesday and trying to get going again."
That's the good news. The problem is, the Raiders aren't making much out of their frequent visits in the vicinity of game-altering touchdowns. Only three of Oakland's 13 trips inside the red zone have resulted in touchdowns.
The Raiders are 30th in touchdown efficiency, with Pittsburgh and Washington the only teams worse through three games.
"That's one of the things that we're going to really evaluate critically here in the next 48 hours … ," Cable said. "We will tear it apart and find out if we need more balance. "… The plays are there. We're just not making them, that's the bottom line."
The Raiders are 30th in terms of average points per trip inside the red zone at 3.0. They scored one touchdown in five trips inside the red zone against Arizona.
McFadden has run for 345 yards, which trails only Minnesota's Adrian Peterson (392) and the Texans' Arian Foster (406).
Of more importance to McFadden, he said, is the high praise he received from numerous Arizona players about how hard he ran Sunday.
"That was a compliment from those guys," he said. " … You have to give credit to the offensive line. They've been doing a good job. You just want to keep working hard and getting better every day."
McFadden is 12 yards shy of matching his 2009 total and 155 away from a career-high.
Houston (2-1) at Raiders (1-2), 1:05 p.m. CBS

Uses for Lithium and its derivatives
Other than the obvious talk about lithium batteries being used and/or developed for use in electric cars, lithium now powers your iPhone, your iPad, many of your laptops, your Android devices and your BlackBerry. It is more and more being used in all mobile devices and will be the dominant player there very shortly (lithium-ion battery and the lithium iron phosphate battery). Additionally, Lithium niobate is used to make cell phones.
Lithium is used in the production of high-temperature resistant glass and ceramics (think stove tops) and high-strength alloys used in new aircraft production. Lithium is used to absorb neutrons in nuclear fusion. Lithium can be combined with other metals (usually aluminum, cadmium, copper or manganese) to make airplane parts
Lithium hydroxide and lithium peroxide are used to purify air in submarines and on spacecraft. (Lithium peroxide reacts with carbon dioxide to produce oxygen.)
One of the most important uses of lithium is in the treatment of bipolar disorder and depression. Salts of lithium (such as lithium carbonate and lithium citrate) are mood stabilizers. Over 100 million prescriptions per year have lithium salts in the medication.
Lithium can be used in focal lenses for telescopes and common spectacles. Lithium chloride and lithium bromide are effective desiccant. A desiccant is a substances that keeps something (usually a container) dry by absorbing (or adsorbing) water molecules. Lithium, and its hydrides, are used as high energy additives in rocket propellants.
Lithium powers many of the 100 million new electric bikes built in China over the past few years, the largest market for such vehicles in the world, by a factor of 98%, and China will soon be the largest automobile market in the world as well as the largest electric vehicle market in the world.
Mining and Production
Lithium is plentiful in nature, (sea water for instance) but is very hard to produce in volume for industrial purposes from most sources other than lithium rich brine deposits such as those found in Chile, Argentina, and Bolivia, as well as China. Clay deposit such as those found in Clayton Valley, Nevada, and pegmatite deposits like those in Australia, (Talison, at Greenbushes) Ireland, and Canada.
Companies such as Talison Lithium (OTC:TLTHF) or TLH.T, with both rich brine deposits in South America and rock lithium (from pegmatites) will benefit most from the multiple uses of lithium and its derivatives. Companies owning the richest brine deposits in Chile, and Argentina, such as, Sociedad Qumica y Minera de Chile S.A. (NYSE:SQM), FMC, and Rodinia Lithium (OTC:RDNAF), will benefit as mother nature does most of the processing there in the arid, Atacama Dessert.
As the only U.S. centric lithium deposits of significance, the clay deposits at Clayton Valley, Nevada, will benefit and both Western Lithium, (WLCDF.PK), and Rodinia Lithium, which own a significant portion of those deposits.
Disclosure: I am long OTC:RDNAF, OTC:TLTHF, WLCDF.PK. I own warrants in International Lithium Corp.
