Delivering value for our customers also involves carrying out business in the socially responsible manner that Canadians expect. For us, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is more than just compliance with policy or regulations - it is the integration of values such as honesty, respect, fairness and integrity into our daily business practices. We believe that good business - adopting and embracing these principles while we facilitate trade for Canadian investors and exporters - is good for business.
As a Crown corporation owned by the Government of Canada, we are expected to fulfill our mandate in a responsible manner that reflects the values of Canadians. This means taking into account the impacts — both environmental and social — of the business that we support, as well as the expectations of our stakeholders: our customers, our employees, the Government of Canada, civil society and the media. We continuously monitor these expectations and our CSR strategy reflects the wide range of initiatives that we have put in place to meet them.
To frame CSR within the Corporation, we look to the principal components that comprise CSR at EDC. These are: Business Ethics, Environment and Social Review, Transparency, Community Investment and Employee Engagement. These components or 'pillars' help us segment what defines CSR for EDC.

Four years

and more money to the area.
other large businesses might be heading there as well.
is no set date for developers to start building, but the city said the West Valley
area is definitely ready for this to happen.
city as a whole is really primed for some more retail growth and we've
certainly seen this is going to happen in the west valley as well. The Wal-Mart got that started, but you've
also seen some really nice residential growth," said Economic Development
Manager, Sean Hawkins.
Hawkins also said there's potential to expand and develop West Valley
because of the high income level in the area, and a lack of large commercial
businesses where people want to shop.

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) -- Chicago White Sox catchers A.J. Pierzynski and Tyler Flowers spent time in the offseason getting to know each other.
Not by chatting over a burger and a beer, though. They hooked up online playing the video war game "Call of Duty."
Pierzynski and the White Sox might see more of Flowers on the field, too. The 26-year-old backup could log more innings behind the plate to spell Pierzynski, who is entering his 15th major league season.
Pierzynski, 35, has caught more than 1,000 innings for 10 consecutive seasons.
Enter Flowers as the heir apparent. He filled in for Pierzynski after the two-time All-Star broke his left wrist last August, the first time he had gone on the disabled list in his big league career.

Sunderland Deserve Praise And Pride
The images taken from London's Covent Garden area from Saturday evening demonstrated all you needed to know. It may sound churlish and misty-eyed, but the way in which Sunderland's supporters cherished this occasion was reflected perfectly in the performance of the players during the game's early stages. This was not just a group of fans desperate for success and players wanting to impress but respectful of their opponents, it felt like a city and club pulling together for the same goal.
It may not be a particularly technical observation, but the most obvious conclusion to draw from the first half was that Sunderland's players just wanted it more. In midfield, Lee Cattermole, Sebastian Larsson and Jack Colback showed more desire and hunger to press City on the ball than Yaya Toure and Samir Nasri ever did when in possession. Cattermole in particular impressed, quick in the tackle but without the petulance and stupidity that has so frustrated multiple Sunderland managers.
George Caulkin wrote a fine piece on Friday in The Times in which he described (in a style rather akin to Renton in Trainspotting) just how much this final means and meant to an area like Sunderland. There was no either/or dichotomy regarding a cup final or relegation to be answered in the minds of the supporters because a cup final represented something different, somewhere far away from the mundanity of the 9-5, the tedium of domestic and financial grind and the worry of a relegation battle.
After 22 years without a domestic final, this was a group of fans determined to enjoy their time in the sun. Sunderland's players could not fail to find inspiration in such support and, for close to an hour, it showed. The Capital One Cup has been much-maligned in recent years - this was a strong case that it still retains enough importance in the minds of many to justify its continuation.
Why The High Line?
The decision to select Martin Demichelis in central defence was strange from Manuel Pellegrini. Having allowed Costel Pantilimon the chance to retain his cup place after playing in all but one tie in the lead-up to the final, Joleon Lescott was dropped in favour of the Argentinean despite the England international appearing in every minute on route to Wembley.
Stranger still was the manner in which Demichelis and Vincent Kompany operated positionally. Why would Pellegrini have instructed his defenders to push so high up the field? With Fabio Borini always likely to become isolated as City dominated possession, the high ball upfield was the obvious way for Sunderland to look to be dangerous. By having central defenders that lack pace so close to the half-way line, a huge amount of space was left in behind.
Demichelis' selection was also odd when combined with the selection of Aleksander Kolarov to his left. Whilst the pace and defensive responsibility of Gael Clichy would have negated Adam Johnson's threat, Kolarov is a full-back more comfortable in the opposition's half than his own. City were left worryingly exposed. Every time a ball was played long, either Borini or Johnson was the favourite to chase it down. City's selection made such a weakness obvious.
The opening goal was the obvious example. Borini was too easily able to leave Demichelis with a simple run but, as against Barcelona in the Champions League, one of the defensive pair then made a second error to compound the first. Quite why Vincent Kompany thought he had to take the ball rather than simply holding up Borini is unclear, but it was a catastrophic error of judgment.
Towards the end of the first half Borini went clear again (albeit from an offside position), and it took captain Kompany to produce a fabulous sprint and tackle to prevent further danger. A side as expensive as City shouldn't need to rely on such moments.
Borini Showing Signs Of Real Progression
Fabio Borini's first season at Anfield was dreadful, of that there is no doubt, and one Premier League goal in over 500 minutes for an £11million fee looks an evident waste of money. That said, this was the Italian's first full season in the Premier League, and he is still just 22 years old.
Perhaps we were too quick to judge Borini. In a struggling Sunderland side he has scored just five times this season, but goals against Newcastle (twice), Chelsea and Manchester United have all come in impressive victories and performances. There are now signs that a successful Premier League striker is developing.
His goal against City was sublime. Holding off an overly physical Vincent Kompany is no mean feat, but the way in which the forward steadied himself before curling past Costel Pantilimon and into the bottom corner with the outside of his right boot left Kompany and City stunned. It was exactly the sort of finish for which slow-motion replays were invented.
Whilst it would be silly to criticise Brendan Rodgers during a period in which his club's attacking prowess is evident, was the decision spend £7million on Iago Aspas and then loan out Borini not slightly profligate on Liverpool's part? There is every chance that Aspas will go the same way and be loaned out next season (Swansea would seem a likely destination) - when does this merry-go-round end?
Form Is temporary...
And then, as it normally tends to do, class revealed its permanence. Better team with better players wins football match is not a particularly insightful epithet, but the quality of City's two goals within two minutes of each other made so apparent the gulf in individual class.
Yaya Toure was anonymous before the break, but seems to constantly retain that ability to suddenly decide "Right that's quite enough of this, chaps" before grabbing a match by the scruff of its neck. Often that is represented in a driving run from midfield, but against Sunderland it was of a more spectacular nature. Vito Mannone may have declined to attempt a full-length dive, but it merely appeared a reasonable effort-saving measure. It was non-saveable.
Samir Nasri's drilled half-volley was no less wonderful, requiring the type of technique that usually makes even professional players look foolish. It was reported this week that City are intending to offer the Frenchman an extension to his contract, and his Man of the Match performance could not have been better timed. Is there a more improved Premier League player from last season to this?
Dzeko Now Barred From Last Chance Saloon
In last week's Winners and Losers I remarked that Edin Dzeko's poor form meant that City could look to replace him this summer. Having scored half of his goals in victories by five or more clear goals, it seemed that Dzeko's goals presented something of a false case for the defence.
Before the League Cup final, Dzeko had three shots on target in five matches, from a total of 25 shots. After the League Cup final, Dzeko has had three shots on target in six matches, from a total of 25 shots. No shots even attempted all match as the Bosnian turned in another toothless display - he gave away the ball on almost half of the occasions he attempted a pass.
City are a club with too many resources to carry any of the players within their 25-man squad limit imposed by the Premier League, and Dzeko can simply not be relied on in situations when City need him most. A last chance may well have expired.

Helping Your Child Build Inner Strength
What Is Inner Strength?
Inner strength, often called "resilience," is the ability to cope with the stressful situations that life throws at us.
Building inner strength begins with simple actions or thoughts that your child practices, such as planning for what to do next and learning to accept change. Inner strength can help a child face problems. Children who are resilient:
Children often surprise us with how resilient they are. But there is much you can do as a parent to help your young child or your teenager grow stronger.
By working to develop a child's inner strength, you are giving that child the emotional and mental tools needed to stay healthy and happy throughout life.

Heavy rainfall continues to cause problems for Valdosta's sewage treatment plant.
The city announced this afternoon that a water test they conducted Tuesday showed suspended solids were103 milligrams per liter.
This is greater than 1.5 times the weekly average allowed, and constitutes a major spill.
Officials are monitoring and testing the Withlacoochee River downstream.
"We just hadn't gotten to a point yet where we had made a significant difference in the solids inventory. And so when that next large rain event occurred we still had the overflow," said Valdosta Environmental Manager John Waite.
Next week a design consultant and contractor will visit the plant to start working on projects to try to keep the plant in compliance until a new plant is ready to open in two years.
The City of Valdosta issued this statement outlining the extent of the sewage contamination-
Public Notice of Spill at Withlacoochee Wastewater Treatment Plant
As a result of the continued heavy rains in Valdosta, the Withlacoochee Wastewater Treatment Plant discharged total suspended solids in excess of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit limit.
The total suspended solids result for the effluent sample collected July 30, 2013 was 103 milligrams per liter. This is greater than 1.5 times the weekly average of 45 milligrams per liter allowed by the NPDES permit, which constitutes a major spill. The volume of the major spill into the Withlacoochee River is the total flow for July 30, which is 7.2 million gallons.
The city is working closely with a design consultant and contractor who will be on site at the plant early next week to begin implementing seven projects that, once in place, will help keep the Withlacoochee Wastewater Treatment Plant in compliance with the NPDES permit until the relocation of the plant is complete.
The city is also preparing to issue a design/build RFP for the relocation of the Withlacoochee Plant, which is expected to cost $20 million and be completed by August 2015.
Warning signs have been placed downstream, and stream sampling of the Withlacoochee River has been initiated as required.

Hendricks County Flyer
---- — INDIANAPOLIS— Thanksgiving came a bit early this year for children and families of the community at Bethel Community Outreach on Sunday.
This is the fourth year for the Thanksgiving meal provided by churches around the state of Indiana.
"The most we have ever served prior to today has been 100 people," Justin Graves, co-director at Bethel Community Outreach, said. "Today we have served approximately 300; after the community comes in and eats, we will then box everything up and go door to door handing out the rest of the food."
Bethel Community Outreach began in 2010 when Graves introduced himself to the community manager of Bethel Town Homes. She gave them the entire room to use for their outreach on Baltimore Ave.
While Justin Graves and Ty Huber (co-director) were planning their ministry, they began speaking with the pastor at Nehemiah Project Church in Avon.
"The church had been looking to get involved with an outreach, and they came on board with us, and invited us into the Wesleyan central district," Graves said.
On Sept. 19, 2010 Bethel Community Outreach had its very first service, and has continued to have a service every Sunday starting at 2 p.m. There is usually anywhere from 10 to 30 kids and a few women that come to the service, with hot dogs provided beforehand.
Huber and Graves met on a church disciple walk and became partners beginning the ministry, going around to churches and speaking to the congregation about their ministry.
"We felt like God had a vision for us to come in and do this, just from pulling into the neighborhood and cooking hot dogs, all of this has come from it," Huber said.
The area the outreach is located in has high crime, but the outreach wants this place to be somewhere that the kids feel safe.
"Our goal has been to bring a light into the neighborhood and to show the kids there is something they can do to achieve a better life," Huber said. "We are trying to turn this into a place where they can go."
Rachel Heinbaugh, Missions and Outreach Coordinator for Nehemiah Project Church, says they have done many things with the outreach such as coat drives, giving backpacks to children in the summer and many people from the church come to help with this Thanksgiving dinner.
"It's not only a great opportunity for people from the Westside of Indianapolis and Hendricks County to come out and serve, but also to help the kids in the community here who are learning to give back and let their light shine," she said. "There is a high volume of kids that attend. It gives them hope and a family environment with an extra support system that might not always be there."
The staff coming to the church every Thursday evening and Sunday includes Celeste Meyer, Graves' mother.
"Without her and a couple other women here, there is no way we could ever have done this," Huber said. "This is a team effort."
Meyer comes in on Thursday nights, makes the neighborhood a meal, has Bible study and usually creates crafts with the kids.
"This is a blessing; this whole area has been such a blessing to my life," Meyer said. "For the first two years, it was just me and a couple of other people; I came here thinking I was going to help other people and bless their lives, but instead I get all of the blessing."
She added: "We're making this about the kids and giving back to the community. Some of the kids are working here today that come in every Sunday, you get attached to the kids and they get attached to you."
Besides the Sunday service and Thursday Bible study, the Bethel Community Outreach wants to add tutoring through the course of the week.
They are looking for donations to buy computers, and things are moving slowly, but things are happening.
Huber has worked with the homeless downtown, and one day would also like for a crew of people from this ministry go downtown with him and help the homeless.
Many families and the homeless downtown received food in the community with the help of the kids of the outreach. They took three trays of turkey and four pies to a homeless camp at Madison and McCarty. The final meal count based on the number of plates and containers used was close to 600.
"We're trying to teach the kids respect," said Huber. "I know a lot of these kids don't have a lot, but we're motivating them."
"We are all the same people no matter where we live or where we are from," Heinbaugh said. "It's good to teach the kids that."
For more information about the Bethel Community Outreach, which is located at 3102 Baltimore Ave., Indianapolis, call 607-4289, e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com, or visit the website www.bcoutreach.org.

Punta Gorda city leaders say the state is forcing them to buy something they don't even need.
Leaders have until July 2013 to purchase a pumpout boat to collect waste from boats in Charlotte Harbor. The city council says it doesn't have the money and won't use tax dollars to pay for the project.
"We anchored as much as we could. We love it, we love to be on the anchor," Jay Buckley remembers cruising around the Gulf in his boat.
The Punta Gorda resident would almost rather live on the water than on dry land.
"Both have their advantages. It's just a great life on the water," he says.
Buckley has put more than 20,000 miles on his boat. Along the way, he'd get the sanitation system pumped out either by stopping at a marina or having a pumpout boat come to him.
"It's just a whole lot more convenient if you have a boat that will come to you," Buckley points out.
For years he's urged the city to consider buying a pumpout boat. Leaders have resisted until the state forced the city to buy one to service a new mooring field in the harbor.
"Quite frankly we do not have that money," Punta Gorda Mayor Bill Albers says.
The city expects the boat to cost nearly $100,000. The state will pay for 75 percent. Even so, the city says it won't buy the boat unless it finds a grant to pay for the rest.
"It's almost extortion," Albers opines.
The mayor argues Punta Gorda already has two pump out stations.
Having the boat would allow visitors to live aboard their vessels at city-owned Laishley Marina.
"If we had the pumpout boat and the availability to use it, we'd be full and probably have a waiting list," says Rusty Heaxt, the dockmaster at Laishley Marina.
Currently, the marina is about 70 percent full.
While the advantages to having a boat exist, the mayor says the money to buy it does not. If city leaders can't get a grant by the July deadline, they'll ask the state for more time.

I graduated from the State University of New York at Cortland where I earned my undergraduate degree in Health Education. This fall, I will be starting my graduate program in Administration of Higher Education with Student Affairs at the Warner School here at the University of Rochester.
I am a graduate assistant in the UHS Health Promotion Office, adding a specialty in college health to my background experience. I am excited about this opportunity with SWARM and being able to reach out to students who truly care about the well-being of their fellow classmates. I look forward to working with you!
Sarah Hussein, '13
I am a Microbiology and Public Health (Health, Behavior, and Society) dual degree. I became involved with the UHS Health Promotion because I wanted to do something to encourage good mental health among my peers. When the stresses of exams, class, and work are overwhelming, students tend to neglect their physical and mental health. Working with the UHS Healthy Monday program has given me the opportunity to remind students of the importance of balancing obligations with fun, while still being successful in the classroom and maintaining an overall positive state of mind. I believe making healthy choices and taking care of your body is the first step to having both a successful and rewarding college experience. I am excited to be part of SWARM.

I graduated from the College at Brockport, SUNY where I earned my undergraduate degree in Interpersonal and Organizational Communication. I am currently a second year graduate student here at the University of Rochester, completing my degree in Higher Education Administration and Student Affairs through the Warner School.

I am a senior Political Science major with a minor in Legal Studies and cluster in Bioethics. I am currently the undergraduate committee president of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Incorporated, Theta Omicron Chapter and Web Coordinator of Douglass Leadership House. I am also an active student-athlete on the Varsity Football team. This is my third year working for the UHS Health Promotion Office and I have a firm belief that encouraging people to make healthy life choices through interactive programs and events can really make an impact. I am extremely excited to be back with UHS Health Promotion Office and the SWARM team.
Megan Suter, '15
am an epidemiology major with minors in biology and philosophy. I first heard about SWARM last year when I went through the training with my sorority. I thought the peer-lead component of the program was excellent, providing students with an environment for honest discussion. Alcohol has an inevitable presence on college campuses, so it is important that students be educated about how to consume alcohol safely and respond to dangerous situations. As a public health major and member of RC MERT, I have a great appreciation and passion for health promotion. After graduation, I hope to pursue further studies in public health. I am excited to begin my work with the UHS Health promotion office as a SWARM trainer.

A little boy who plunged out of a Hialeah motel room Friday is not expected to survive.
The 2-year-old boy, who fell from a second-story window, was being evaluated by doctors to determine whether he is brain dead. Details of the child's condition were discussed at a short hearing Tuesday in child welfare court.
Christy Lopez-Acevedo, a Department of Children & Families attorney, told Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Alan Fine that doctors were administering a series of tests — expected to take about 24 hours to complete — that would determine whether the child has any brain activity. If the tests confirm the youngster is brain dead, doctors will remove him from life support.
The toddler's parents, 26-year-old Luis Enrique Rodriguez and 27-year-old Jacqueline Sanchez, were charged with suspected child abuse just before midnight Friday, said Hialeah police spokesman Carl Zogby. Police said officers also found evidence of cocaine use in the room. Both parents had bonded out of jail and are at the hospital with the toddler.
Rodriguez and Sanchez were staying at the El Paraiso Motel at 1615 W. Okeechobee Rd. with the 2-year-old and a 5-month-old son, Zogby said.
Both the toddler and the infant sibling have been placed in the care of DCF, said agency spokeswoman Lissette Valdes-Valle.

It was a good day for Felix Doubront, and a terrible one for Alfredo Aceves, as the Sox ended up splitting a pair of games that may have gone a long way to deciding the rotation the Sox open the season with.
If that ends up being the case, Felix Doubront will be awfully happy. While the day started shakily for the lefty, with the Marlins threatening in the first, scoring on an Austin Kearns homer in the second, and then threatening to do still more damage before the inning ended, Doubront settled down quickly. Generally keeping the ball on the ground and adding in a pair of strikeouts, Doubront would finish the day with six innings of one-run ball, giving up five hits and a walk in the process.
Things would not go nearly so well for Alfredo Aceves against the Phillies in Ft. Myers. Surrendering two runs in the first even with a smart play from Adrian Gonzalez to catch Juan Pierre at home, Aceves would fall apart even worse in the second, allowing back-to-back homers to start the inning. Two more runs would come across before the second was over as Aceves failed to keep the ball low and left it time-and-again over the middle of the plate. By the time his day was done, Aceves had allowed nine runs in three innings of work--hardly a strong performance with opening day less than two weeks away.
Back in Jupiter, the Boston lineup had already provided Doubront with enough support offensively in the first, with three runs scoring on hits by Pedro Ciriaco, Cody Ross, Ryan Lavarnway, and Jason Repko. They would add another in the sixth thanks to Lavarnway, Ryan Sweeney, and David Ortiz to make it 4-1. With three scoreless innings forthcoming from the bullpen, that's where the score would stay.
The Boston lineup would also be somewhat active in Ft. Myers. But for a wind-assisted triple from Jacoby Ellsbury that scored two runs, however, most of the production would come from the backups, with Josh Kroeger bringing a third run across in the sixth, and Pete Hissey making it five for the Sox in the eighth. Franklin Morales, Andrew Bailey, and Vicente Padilla would all pitch scoreless outings after Michael Bowden allowed a run in cleaning up the rest of Aceves' intended innings, but the damage had already been done, leaving Boston 10-5 losers.

Updated July 28, 9:37 p.m. ET
The Buccaneers became the first team to sign their 2011 first-round draft choice when they agreed to terms with DE Adrian Clayborn on Wednesday morning.
Clayborn, selected out of Iowa with the 20th pick in the draft, received a four-year deal according to his agent. There is also a club option for a fifth season. ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting that the deal is fully guaranteed and worth $8.2 million.
The team announced they also signed second-round DE Da'Quan Bowers, LB Mason Foster and TE Daniel Hardy on Wednesday.
Tampa Bay selected defensive linemen in the first two rounds of the draft for the second consecutive season, and the team is expecting Clayborn to make an instant impact with the unit.
On Thursday, the team added TE Luke Stocker, S Ahmad Black and CB Anthony Gaitor to their roster, signing the three draft picks to the team.

ROI is a community of believers, Jewish and Christian, Republican and Democrat, Independent and Libertarian, who perceive that the corruption in our state is a moral issue, a spiritual issue, a matter of faith. We believe that change must come, and that it will not come from within the system as currently established.
Long-Term change within Illinois has to be non-partisan, and therefore ROI does not owe allegiance to any party, but rather to our conscience, and our "conscience is held captive by the Word of God, & to act against conscience is neither right nor safe." --M. Luther 1521

Valley locations to recycle your Christmas tree
It's already time to figure out what to do with that Christmas tree sitting in your living room.
Mesa residents can recycle their Christmas tree for free through January 13, 2013.
The city of Mesa asks everyone to remove all nails, tinsel, lights and ornaments from the trees before dropping them off. Trees painted white, or flocked, will not be accepted because it does not break down in the environment. Wreaths will not be accepted either, because of the metal wiring.
You may also pay $19.99 and have your tree picked up curbside. The Christmas "Treecycling" program is provided for Mesa residents only.
Here are the five locations for 24-hour drop off:
City of Mesa Solid Waste Management Department, 730 N. Mesa Dr.
East Mesa Service Center, 6935 E. Decatur St.
Superstitions Springs Police/Fire Substation, 2430 S. Ellsworth Rd.
Mountain View Park, 845 N. Lindsay Rd. (Enter off Adobe St.)
Dobson Ranch Park, 2363 S. Dobson Rd.
Salt River Landfill, 13602 N Beeline Hwy.
Apartment and condominium complexes can schedule a one-time pick up at no charge. Those requests need to be submitted by Jan. 10.
The City of Phoenix is also accepting trees at any participating park until January 5, 2013. Participating parks include:
Deer Valley Park, 19th Avenue and Utopia Road
Paradise Valley Park, 40th Street south of Union Hills Drive
Sereno Park, 56th Street and Sweetwater Avenue
Cactus Park, 38th Avenue and Cactus Road
Mountain View Park, Seventh Avenue south of Peoria Avenue
Marivue Park, 59th Avenue and Osborn Road
Washington Park, 23rd Avenue and Maryland Avenue
Madison Park, 16th Street and Glenrosa Avenue
Los Olivos Park, 28th Street and Devonshire Avenue
Desert West Park, 67th Avenue and Encanto Boulevard
El Reposo Park, Seventh Street and Alta Vista Road
Mountain Vista Park, 50th Street just north of Ray Road
Desert Foothills Park, Desert Foothills and Chandler Boulevard
Cesar Chavez Park, 35th Avenue and Baseline Road

From RCM&W A long, forbidding, dark corner forms the first major break in the clifftop to the north of Laceration Jam. Your mission is to reach that corner and climb it. Start about 10' north of a right-facing corner and work up to a small bush. Forge boldly past a wide section (5.9) to the continuously difficult crack above.
Doubles from .75 to 2, long route
this route is a blast! don't shy away from the route because of the falcon guide description. in addition to recommendations above, multiple runners (the crack flares at times), as well as two #3 and two #4 camalots are helpful. route is probably 200' long. flared sections reminded me of yosemite, only with better friction, sharp rock, and features everywhere. recommend belaying from base of the wall and not on the first shelf, which is only 5 feet off the ground but is small and not level. route is also sheltered from winds coming out of the north.
Wonderful climb, harder that it looks from the bottom. Description from Superior Climbs: A crack climbing smorgasbord: body, hands and fingers. This is a very long pitch featuring exposed and sustained climbing up good flakes and corners. Highlights include sharp hand jams and encounters with rock tripe. -while we didn't experience a whole lot of tripe today, the rest is very accurate. IMO its more on the 5.10B-D range. Strong lead. Also, saw some Peregrines very, very near so they may be nesting near here/laceration jam. Keep an ear out for what the park service mentions about nesting this year (Peregrine Falcons sometimes change where they are nesting on the shore)
This route is less than 200ft (around 170 to 180ft) so no worries with a 60m rope. tape will help avoid some 'scars'

Hi all, Is there anyone currently projecting a hard line (preferably trad) in either the Stronghold (first choice) or Mt. Lemmon area that would like to take part in a video documentary? I'm taking this on as a short film project and am looking for a subject climber to be the lead. I'm flexible on the flow and actually like the idea of storyboarding two subjects in two separate areas and routes (one sport, one trad) and bouncing between the two progressions throughout the film. Pretty sure the latter scenario would entail quite a bit more work but would produce a much more interesting end product so I'm not 100% on the double subject thing just yet. So, anyone game to be a rock star? EDIT: Although I said "currently working", what i would actually like is someone taking a project on from the very first attempt. So, not to rule out folks that have already started working lines (for all you Orifice gorillas), but I would prefer to get footage and interviews from start to finish to document the full progression; mental as well as physical. d
I don't like being in front of the camera, but if you needed any help shooting I might have some time to help out that way. I've got a Canon 7d and a fair amount of experience shooting/editing video. Either way, good luck with the project!
Thanks Joe, I may just hit you up for that. I was going to do some of the interviews and creative footage with my 5d but was going to shoot the main action sequences with my dedicated HD rig. Would love to get two angles/heights though especially one as a prime or 24-70L on the 5d or your 7 to go along with the main reel. If you're serious about co-shooting and maybe even co-producing, let's meet up and throw some ideas around. I've received a few PMs and Geir helped me out with a few leads to get started on subjects. Are you in the Tucson area? I've got two 27" iMacs to do the production on. Man, I can already hear the beer bottles piling up on production nights...
Cool. I'm in midtown, close to Reid Park. Send me an email at joe dot kreidel at gmail dot com and we can talk.
I sent you a PM Daryl, let me know if it didn't go through.
I didn't come through and nothing in spam folder.. If you would, go ahead and shoot it to zihyer at g mail. Thanks Alex!
LOL Orifice Gorillas. Funny term! This is a really neat idea. Daryl's a really cool guy and I think this could wind up being a great project.
Thanks for the helpful email on this Geir. Hey, I heard you might have some climbing gear you're looking to sell. I'm ok with a little dust.. let me know. Group email started. Thanks everyone.. really looking forward to getting this thing off the ground!
Hey Daryl. Totally would love to man. Let me know. However during the winter I usually don't go down to Lemon. Usually stay at Homestead/Red Rocks. Let me know.
Awesome Pat! I'll put you on the email we have going. Can you shoot me a pm or email to zihyer at gmail so i have your current address? Thanks! Geir, I was just yanking your chain about not having any projects going. :P
HA! I'll get you for this punk! :)
LOL.. :) Hi everyone, I scanned through my email and PMs and tried to update the email conversation with everyone that is on board or has expressed interest to get everyone in the same offline discussion. If you didn't get that email from me today, please send me another PM because I missed you (sorry!!). In that case, I'll do another update and add you to the email. thanks! d

BRYAN COUNTY, OK -- The holiday weekend means plenty of campers and boaters are out at Lake Texoma.
We found lots of RVs and people enjoying a warm day outdoors at East Burns Run on Thursday morning. One visitor told us she decided to use her time off from work to take her family on a visit to see relatives in Denison.
It's the first time she's gotten a chance to see them in a few years. "I came to see my sister-in-law and go camping, swimming, fishing, you name it. Everything and come see family," says Houston area visitor Charlene Walker.
Some campers were fishing, while a couple boats passed by in the water. Army Corps of Engineers officials say their 10 campgrounds are almost full for this Fourth of July weekend.

Earlier this week, UFC president Dana White revealed that Middleweight champion Anderson Silva was being fined $50K by the promotion. The fine was levied in response to Silva flying to Brazil instead of Los Angeles where he was scheduled to appear at a media event for UFC 162. White called Silva's behavior "unacceptable."
The UFC president wasn't the only one upset with Silva for missing the event. His scheduled opponent and the next challenger to the title Chris Weidman gave a statement to MMA Fighting:
"I hope he's staying grounded," he said. "I hope his head isn't getting so big that he thinks he doesn't have to do things for the UFC, but who am I to judge?
"If his head is really getting too big, I'm definitely going to bring him down to earth on July 6."
However, "The Spider" told Veja he never knew about the media event (via Sherdog):
"I've never missed any commitment to the UFC. I would never have made the trip to Brazil if I knew I had to be in Los Angeles," said Silva. "Everyone knows that I always block my media schedule to devote myself to training, since that's my main priority. I'm an athlete, and my focus will always be to train and be prepared for the challenges."
Silva and Weidman will meet in the Octagon as the main event for UFC 162 on July 7 in Las Vegas, NV. Silva has the opportunity to extend his title defense record to 13 and his UFC undefeated streak to 16 fights. The "All American" will be trying to become the man to upset the longest reigning champion in UFC history.

More than 100 veterans spent their day out on the golf course for the first annual Wounded Warrior and Veterans Golf Tournament at the Dolphin Head Golf Club on Hilton Head Island.
Active duty members also participated in the tournament.
The tournament also featured a new handicap accessible golf cart for mobility and challenged Wounded Warriors.
"We've become passionate with this, so we just decided that this was going to be what we were going to do, and you saw the golf cart," said Fred Schattall, President of the Heritage Oak Golf League. "That's going to be a situation that we're going to continue from year to year hopefully and make it really grow from on the Island."

Well we got another frost last week Tuesday at Regal-Hill. I am disgusted with myself that I didn't cut the asparagus. I went to check it this morning and it had definitely been frozen. I knew it was there too and just didn't remember to go out and cut it and bring it inside. Now I have to cut it and wait for it to grow again before serving it in any meals.
Well, we got a rather hard frost here at Regal-Hill last week. George built a fire. It sure felt good until the sun came up and warmed things up. The wind didn't blow either which helped speed up the warming process. It is amazing how so often when we get a frost that the sun will shine and gradually warm up the air so it doesn't seem so bad if you have to be outside.
We could use a good rain here at Regal-Hill. I really don't want to start watering so soon.
Apparently there has been enough rain for the shadblows, sometimes called the shad tree, to appear. The shadblows are the pin cherry trees when they are in blossom.
Most days are more like springtime here at Regal-Hill. Even some of the birds are thinking spring as we now have barn swallows residing in the barn. Yesterday it was cold, rainy or snowy and it was very windy, but two yellow-shafted flickers appeared in a nearby tree. (Of course we had to look in our bird book.) Today the sun is out, making it easier to work outside in the flowerbeds.
Plans are being made here at Regal-Hill to grow more wheat this year. It was grown last year as an experiment and since it was somewhat of a success, there are plans to grow more wheat this year. Presently the wheat grown will be ready to use as soon as it is ground. It has already been thrashed, washed and dried.
We are all familiar with whole wheat flour, white flour, bleached flour, unbleached flour, cake flour and bread flour.
This Sunday is Easter. It is one of my favorite holidays. I guess that is because it includes personal redemption that I can always use as well as getting together with family and friends besides preparing a special meal. However, it just isn't so hectic compared to Christmas since there isn't the decorating, gift-giving, sending of cards and such associated with Easter.
Now that it is spring here at Regal-Hill I had hoped the weather would stay warm, but so far this week it has been too cold during the day for the sap to run very much. Even though most of those here working at sapping needed a break, they were disappointed the sap wasn't running more. The next few days should be warmer, so the sap should be running better again.
It has been very spring-like here at Regal-Hill this week. It was supposed to rain tomorrow, but as it turned out we got snow. It snowed until everything was all white, then it stopped and in no time at all most of it had melted. It was what we call a sap snow. Sap snow is very wet and, thankfully, it comes and goes quickly. However, I am sure it will get colder and be back to more winter-like weather with colder temperatures and snowstorms.
With St. Patrick's Day almost here, there are only a few more days and spring will be here as well. Spring is supposed to begin on March 20 according to the calendar. Let's hope it will really be a glorious spring day. When I say glorious I mean at least 50 degrees, sunny and still, with no ice or snow around as far as the eye can see, except maybe on the distant mountains. Of course there will be mud, but I promise I won't complain if the mud tracks inside.
One thing we have been doing here at Regal-Hill is planning our gardening for this year and ordering seeds. I may over plan and dream too much but it sure is fun to do when the wind is blowing, the temperature is 20 degrees or less and the wind chill is minus one, even if the sun is shining.
