"China's confirmation that its gold holdings have risen to 1,054 tonnes was not surprising given the broad rise in all the country's reserves, John Lipsky, first deputy managing director of the International Monetary Fund, said on Friday. "Not so surprising considering the very rapid increase in the overall level of Chinese external reserves, that it probably increased its holdings of all forms of reserves," Lipsky said when asked whether China would be in the market to buy 403 tonnes of gold owned by the IMF. The IMF last year approved the sale of 403 tonnes of gold from its stocks of 3,217 tonnes (103.4 million ounces) as part of a plan to put its finances on a sounder footing and create an endowment with the proceeds."

Ruf : I picked up 2 domestic turkey at a buck a pound too (Lilydales) but wild turkey is a fun sport in this neck of the woods. It get's the boys together to tell story's and see who gets the biggest one. It's a sport. Throw in the deep fryer with peanut oil and you have a meal like non other. I have to go now.
