The Sunshine Coast benefits from a rain shadow cast by the Vancouver Island mountains, which catch most of the moisture coming in off the Pacific Ocean.
In winter, clouds regroup in the Coast Mountains to the east of the Sunshine Coast and provide sufficient precipitation in the form of snow to coat trails for cross-country skiing. The remainder of the year it falls as rain, British Columbia's 'liquid sunshine,' which nourishes the temperate rain forest.
The beautiful coastline is deeply indented at Howe Sound, Jervis Inlet, and Desolation Sound. Jervis becomes Queens Reach, slicing into the Coast Mountain Range, with a branch to Princess Louisa Inlet and Chatterbox Falls.
Jervis Inlet and Desolation Sound are of such fjordic proportions that they attract a steady stream of marine traffic throughout the summer months, when brilliant sun shines on the countless cataracts that cascade down the sheer-sided slopes. Come moodier months, the clouds become ensnared in the snaggle-toothed peaks, making you feel just as pleased to stick to the sunnier coastline.
The world's longest highway, the Pan-American (also named Highway 101 in parts of the United States and Canada), stretches 9,312 miles (15020 km) from Castro on Chile's south coast to Lund on BC's Sunshine Coast.
The 87-mile (139-km) stretch of Highway 101 between Langdale and Lund outperforms its size. Dozens of parks with biking, hiking, and ski trails; canoe and kayak routes; beaches; and coastal viewpoints are easily reached from the highway. Campsites are plentiful, and you won't have any difficulty in finding a place to pitch your tent or park your RV, except in July and August and on long weekends from May to September.Population: Approximately 60,000Location: The Sunshine Coast located northwest of Vancouver and is accessible from the rest of the Lower Mainland only by boat or airplane. Travellers aboard BC Ferries leave Horseshoe Bay in West Vancouver for a 9.5-mile (15.5-km), 45-minute ride to Langdale on the Sechelt Peninsula. Highway 101 links Langdale with Earls Cove, 50 miles (80 km) north. Another ferry crosses Jervis Inlet to Saltery Bay, a 60-minute ride. Highway 101 makes the second leg of this journey 37 miles (59 km) north to Lund. BC Ferries also connects Powell River on the Malaspina Peninsula with Comox on the east side of central Vancouver Island.
A note about travel times: One of the most enjoyable aspects of visiting the northern Sunshine Coast in the off-season from September to May - particularly if you travel midweek - is being able to catch the ferry both from Horseshoe Bay to Langdale, and then from Earls Cove to Saltery Bay, without experiencing interminable lineups. You'll still have to allow six hours to reach the Malaspina Peninsula from Horseshoe Bay, but you can do it without hurrying, enjoying the travel time just as much as the play time once you arrive.
If you can't travel midweek to avoid lines, at least leave Vancouver early Friday afternoon or late Saturday morning and return early on Monday. Those travelling up the entire coast or returning via Vancouver Island should ask at the Horseshoe Bay terminal about special fares (which can save you up to 30 percent) for the Circle Tour of Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast (four ferry rides).

I bought a digital scale that measured to the tenth of a pound. The first time I stepped on it, it spoke very clearly. I was heavier than I'd ever been: 183. That's fine if you're six feet tall. But I'm five foot five and a half. According to something called the body-mass index (see "How Do I Calculate My Ideal Weight?"), I was obese.
I wrapped a tape measure around my waist and winced. Forty inches. I didn't know it then, but that tape measure was the start and finish line. If you calculate your height in inches and divide by two, you'll know what the size of your waist should be.
Once you want to know, sentences start to jump out of newspaper articles that you'd normally overlook. You become aware that automakers are increasing the width of our seats so that we feel comfortable with our added weight. That nearly two out of ten men and four out of ten women of recruiting age weigh too much to be eligible to join the armed forces -- and that one Army nutrition expert is warning that obesity is becoming a national-security issue. That studies show that lean people earn more money than obese people who have the same IQ.
The more you know, the more you want to know about what you're putting inside your body.
I set recipes for my pancakes and the blueberry-banana pancakes in The Taste for Living Cookbook: Mike Milken's Favorite Recipes for Fighting Cancer side by side. (See opposite.) Now I know why mine are not good for you and Milken's are. Ingesting all-purpose flour is like eating powdered sugar. It's a simple carbohydrate that your body converts to glucose, which prompts your insulin level to rise. And once your glucose level falls, guess what? Your body chemistry is off balance, and you're hungry again.
The Milken pancakes contain no egg yolks, which carry cholesterol. Vanilla soy milk has neither milk fats nor pesticides that the cow ingested. When you spray canola oil on a pan, you usually use less than when you pour oil or melt butter. And the feeling of fullness these pancakes create comes because the oat flour and the whole-wheat flour are complex, not simple, carbs. Not only does whole-grain flour seem to expand in your stomach, it also slows down the transit time of food through your gut, so you feel fuller for longer.
But knowing that can't convince you what tastes good -- or could it?
It's always risky to serve a recipe you've never prepared. And in my home, it was blasphemy to do it on a Sunday.
Sunday-morning pancakes are holy ground.
But Milken had emboldened me when he described an annual extravaganza he threw called the Gourmet Games. Meat dishes and nonmeat mimics are served side by side to hundreds of people, and Milken dares the diners to identify which is which. Warren Beatty has not been very successful -- nor has anyone else. And if that seems unbelievable, all I can tell you is that Milken has been keeping stats and can rattle them off like a baseball fan.
So I figured I'd leave it up to the most impartial of judges -- my kids and their friends -- to detect any differences in the Milken pancakes from the champions they all knew and loved.
I was not at all prepared for what transpired. Not one of the six- to ten-year-olds looked up from his or her plate and said, "Hey, what's going on here? These aren't the usual pancakes!"
Nor did any one of them ask for seconds, thirds, or fourths, like usual. Eight kids continued their merry conversation around the table, and when they were finished, they thanked me and scurried out to play.
I was overjoyed. I was wounded.
The kids had finished the pancakes without the slightest criticism. But I hadn't gotten the usual praise. I was no longer the Dad Who Made the Best Pancakes in the World.
I set three on my plate and carefully chewed. They were good. But I didn't reach for seconds, either. I felt full. Not bloated. Pleasantly full, on 209 calories.

The antis must be a bit confused by this one...
Hey, gun control boosters: Gun sales soar, but murders don't. Why?
This is a discussion on Good: Gun Sales Up, Murder Not within the In the News: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly forums, part of the The Back Porch category; The antis must be a bit confused by this one... Hey, gun control boosters: Gun sales soar, but murders don't. Why?...
The antis must be a bit confused by this one...
Hey, gun control boosters: Gun sales soar, but murders don't. Why?
US Air Force, 1986 - 2007
"To disarm the people is the best and most effective way to enslave them..." George Mason
Guns kill people, plain and simple. They just need time to grow up and get bigger and stronger to be able to do it. Yeah, gun sales have increased by a bunch over the past few years, but those are new, young guns, who haven't had a chance to mature and train in the art of killing. Give it another year or two and they will be ready to start killing left and right. You'll see.
"For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast." - Ephesians 2:8-9
The purpose of the law is not to prevent a future offense, but to punish the one actually committed - Ayn Rand
I may be a bit confused myself. Where does a guy find a good holster for an atlatl?
There is a solution but we are not Jedi... not yet.
The only thing I don't like in the op ed is this:
Anti -gunners will draw a dotted line from that to this (from the same article):Oh, sure, there are blips: an 18 percent increase in reported violent crime last year -
To say nothing about the same line in the article that says retail sales are up 18% (that's total retail sales of everything, not just guns) An exact match!Ruger's sales have increased 86 percent in the past four years. Smith & Wesson's sales have gone up nearly 44 percent, the article said
So, some good anti spinner will quote the article like this:
Sometimes our best friends say things that can be used against us... The source is cited, and the facts are true (though misrepresented), no one will check the citation or read the article..."Even pro gun advocates; who favor reasonable gun controls, have admitted that sales of guns were up at least 18%, the same percentage as the recent uptick in reported violent crime." D. Bonavita, McLean publishing 10-25-12
It could be worse!
I suppose
The author doesn't really make any sense. He throws out a few statistics, then ignores them and makes random, unsubstantiated claims about his ideas on gun control and the causes and deterents of crime.
It is what it is: an opinion piece by someone with minimal knowledge of topic.
Walk softly ...

In the final game of his freshman campaign, 6'3″ guard Isaiah "Boogie" Briscoe scored a team-leading seventeen points for St. Benedict's against eventual ESPN National High School Invitational Champion Findlay Prep. Throughout the season, Briscoe demonstrated a maturity and fearlessness that belied his youth.
Playing for a program that starts very few freshman, Briscoe nevertheless started in the Gray Bees backcourt with the New Jersey Gatorade Player of the Year, 6'2″ Tyler Ennis, and 6'3″ future Miami Hurricane Melvin Johnson. Under the guidance of Mark Taylor, they elevated the program to a 36-3 record, with Boogie averaging over thirteen points and over five assists against a challenging national schedule. For his efforts, the Union, New Jersey native was named to the MaxPreps Freshman All-American team, along with his close friend, 6'11" Karl Towns, also of New Jersey.
Briscoe received scholarship offers before he ever set foot on a high school court, and they have continued to rain in from across the country. He has already received offers from Syracuse, Connecticut, Arizona, Florida, Baylor, Cincinnati, Rutgers and Seton Hall, as well as interest from Duke, Kentucky, and Ohio State.
Briscoe's bloodlines are long and deep. His dad, George Briscoe, was a standout for Stockton State College in New Jersey, and now works in Newark, NJ as part of a community action group. His older sister, 5'11" Iasia Hemingway, just finished her final season as a member of Syracuse's women's basketball team. Isaiah's cousin, Kyrie Irving of West Orange, NJ and Duke University, was recently named the NBA's Rookie of the Year for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
"Boogie" Briscoe has other connections to Duke University. St. Benedict's is the alma mater of 2010 National Champion and current Hornet forward Lance Thomas. Coach Mark Taylor coached former Duke All-American and current ESPN analyst Jason Williams for four years at nearby St. Joe's of Metuchen, NJ. At a press conference at the NHSI, Coach Taylor reportedly said that he sometimes teases Williams that Isaiah may wind up developing into a better player than the former national high school player of the year.
There's been no rest after the high school season for the promising young guard from the Garden State. He's now played ten Nike EYBL games this AAU season for the New Jersey Playaz, the AAU program of former Duke guard and current Bobcat Gerald Henderson, and helped them qualify for next month's Peach Jam in South Carolina. Briscoe participated in last month's Mary Kline Classic, a charity basketball event dedicated to raising money for brain cancer research, named after the mother of his close friend Alex Kline.
This June, "Boogie" Briscoe headed to Long Beach, California to participate in the Pangos All-American Camp. Although he was one of the youngest participants, his fearless play resulted in his being named a Pangos Cream of the Crop Top 30 selection. Last weekend, Briscoe participated in Nike's Elite 100, a St. Louis-based showcase designed to find and enhance some of the best young talent in the country.
Isaiah "Boogie" Briscoe spoke with Blue Devil Nation about Coach Taylor's comparison to former NBA lottery pick Jay Williams, about fighting complacency, and on the advice he received from Kyrie Irving, among other things.
Let's talk about your season at St. Benedict's and how it went overall. [private]
You know I had a great first year. I think I finished with 517 (points) playing with Melvin (Johnson, a Miami commitment) and Tyler (Ennis, the Gatorade Player of the Year for New Jersey). It was a great experience. We went 36-3, went to ESPN Rise, and I just think we played well.
You had a chance to play on national television this year in the NHSI.
It was a great experience to play on ESPN and going against great guards like Dominic Artis. Just playing in front of everybody and competing is just great and I had fun. We competed.
Did you feel any added pressure being on TV?
I don't believe in pressure so playing on TV is like playing here or on the playground or anything like that.
What did you think when your coach at St. Benedict's, Mark Taylor, said you may wind up better than Jason Williams. How do you feel about that comparison? That's some pretty high praise.
Yeah, it is and it's a blessing. You know I'm a freshman and comparing me to the second overall pick in the draft, it's just a blessing and as I continue to work hard maybe I can follow after him. I mean he was a lottery pick and the player of the year in college. It's a lot to live up to. He's a tremendous player.
Speaking of Jason Williams, another Duke guard, your cousin Kyrie, just won the Rookie of the Year award in the NBA. You must be very proud of him.
You know that's great. I work out with him sometimes when he's back home so him winning rookie of the year is just great for the family and everything. I just want to follow in his footsteps especially and keep it in the family.
Does he give you any advice?
Yeah, he always gives me advice. He tells me to keep working hard, do right in school, keep my head straight and everything else will follow.
What are your goals for the rest of the summer?
Well, you know we're going to the Peach Jam. I want to do well in the Peach Jam and perform well. And just get in the gym and work on my speed and agility with my father and that's probably it.
You were mostly a combo or two guard on the St. Ben's team, but what do you view yourself as long-term?
I'm a point guard, but, with Tyler there, he's one of the top point guards in the country. I'll do whatever I have to do for us to win. If Coach wanted me to score more, I scored more. Pass more, drive more, whatever, I'll do it. With Ty and me in the backcourt, we're gonna be tough next year too. After he graduates, I'll move over to point guard. It's his time to shine.
What's it like playing with Tyler? He had a great year in his own right. Gatorade Player of the Year. You guys are relatively close in age, but is he able to mentor you a bit?
He's been great to play with and we've got a good chemistry. He shows me some things.
He's an efficient player.
Oh, yeah, definitely. He makes great decisions. He takes good shots and he can find the open man. He makes it look simple.
People are always interested in recruiting. I know you've already got a lot of programs after you. Can you list some of the programs that are interested in you?
Yeah, I've been blessed. UConn, Arizona, Syracuse, Florida, Rutgers, Seton Hall, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, and Baylor have all offered so far and schools like Duke, Kentucky, and Ohio State have shown interest.
Are you in a rush to decide?
No, I guess I'm not in a rush, but I'd rather decide sooner than later. My mom would like to take my time. I'm not sure, but I don't think I want to take, like, four years to decide.
What do you consider some of your strengths and weaknesses right now?
My strengths are that I'm an all around point guard. I can play combo, so anything that coach needs me to play I can play. I can score, penetrate, pass. I'm competitive. My weakness, I'm not going to tell you my weakness, you're just going to have to find out (laughs). I'm working on getting on my handle, my outside shot, getting quicker, and some footwork.
Are there any players you try and model your game after?
Deron Williams, Chris Paul, and Tyreke Evans. Kyrie too.
Kyrie has taken over that motto of 'humble and hungry.' Is that something that you try to follow?
Yeah, yeah, I follow that motto. You know just try and stay level-headed, don't get too big headed, and just continue to do what I'm doing. Stay hungry!
There's always a concern that some young people who are ranked highly will become content and satisfied. How do you fight or guard against complacency and not rest on your early laurels?
Just never rest (smiles and laughs). You know whenever I get a chance to go in the gym I'm working hard. Everybody in Cali is always working hard when I'm sleeping so I just got to work hard when I get a chance. I know that there are guys in my class working on their game in Chicago and Vegas and Jersey. You can't let your guard down.
What are you looking for in a program when you finally make a decision?
A great education, open court games, pick and roll, a great coach and system and things like that.
Are you a good student?
Pretty good.
Are you, at least, a B student?
Oh, yeah, definitely. My family always pushes me.
How about your coach? What do you want your coach to be like?
I want him to yell at me and everything, but also understand the game. I want a hall of fame coach and things like that. I want a tough and fair coach. Coach Taylor has helped push me. I like that.
Where do you like to catch the ball most?
Usually on the wings… I can pass, shoot or drive. Tyler gets me the ball in good spots.
Your dad credited some of your toughness from playing a lot in Newark. Do you feel that has had an effect on you and playing with toughness?
It made me a tougher person. When I was younger, I would always hang out with older guys and they'd show me the ropes of the streets and everything.
Let's discuss your defense a little bit. Where do you feel you're at with that right now?
If it was graded I think I'm at a solid B. My defense is getting better and it got better dramatically during the high school season. Coach (Mark) Taylor (St. Benedict's head coach) helped me a lot on my defense so it's getting better.
Do you have any visits you're taking this summer?
Yeah, I didn't plan it yet, but I'm going to visit Arizona and Florida this summer.
Who do you think is the toughest player you've had to play against?
I'd say Dominic Artis (2012 Oregon signee) and Kyle Anderson (2012 UCLA signee), those are probably the toughest players I've played against.
There aren't too many high schools that have produced an NBA player, let alone multiple ones at the same time. At Saint Benedict's, you've got guys like J.R. Smith with the Knicks, Lance Thomas with the Hornets, and Samardo (Samuels) with the Cavs right now. Is there a lot of talk internally about things like legacy or looking to those guys as, sort of, role models?
Yes and no, we look at those guys like we want to get where they already are and we don't want to let the program drop or anything, but we just try to work on our games and win right now. Hopefully, Melvin (Johnson) will make the NBA and then Tyler (Ennis) and then me. I definitely hope to join all of them in the NBA one day. I'm just trying to work on my game and, hopefully, one day I can get there too. That's all I can do, you know, work. We respect all of them… a lot.
What are you hoping to show coaches this summer?
That I play hard and smart. I want to show them that I can play with the ball and without. I want to show them that I can score, pass, and that I'm an all-around type of player. I love playing basketball…and hopefully they can see that too.
Can you tell the audience a little bit about your family? Your dad works as part of a community group in Newark and I heard that your mom works in a financial business?
Yeah, my dad tries to help the community in Newark and my mom works in an accounting office.
So, that's why you do well in school. She's pretty smart?
Oh, yeah, she's really smart. (laughs)
You played well in the Mary Kline Classic and helped with the games and some of the behind the scenes things.
Oh, yeah, well, it's a great cause and Alex (Kline) is a great person. I just wanted to help in any way that I could. There were a lot of good players in that game. I mean Alex has been great to me and helped me a lot with advice. It was a lot of fun and we helped to raise a lot for an important cause. I talk to Alex almost every day.
What about the Pangos All-American Camp?
Well, it's great to have a chance to play against some of the best kids from around the country. I think I've played well out here and learned some things. It's been fun.
What would you like the audience to know about you away from the court?
That I'm a happy kid that likes to make people laugh and smile. That I'm a good kid and I work hard. People always say that I make them laugh.
Speaking of working hard, you work out regularly with your dad, who used to play in college, on Saturday mornings. What do you guys work on primarily?
Oh, we work on just about everything. My handle, shooting from all areas, conditioning. We practice and play for hours. He gets after me.
Speaking of conditioning, what are you trying to do with your body? Get leaner? Get stronger? What are you hoping to improve about your body?
I'm actually pretty lean. It just looks bigger than some guys my age. We're trying to get quicker and stronger. Those are pretty much the main things.
Where are you working on your strength? At school, a local gym, or home?
Mostly, the gym.
What are your expectations and goals for the next high school season?
We're going to try to win the national title. We want to win the NHSI. We came very close this year, but we'll be better next year. I've got to continue to improve. We've got some good talent coming in too!
Has Coach talked with you about how your role or responsibilities might change?
Yes, he said that I'll be handling the ball more and playing mostly with Tyler. He expects me to step up and take more of a leadership role as a sophomore. I've got to keep improving and working. Help the team and be an example with Tyler for other players.
Can you give the audience a scouting report on Karl Towns, one of your close friends? Also what's he like as a person?
Oh, he's an incredible player. Karl can shoot as well as any guard, but he's about 6'11." He's got great post moves and he'll show more of that this year. He's a great defender and he's getting stronger too. Off the court, he's smart. Karl's a leader and just a great person. He loves to laugh too. He cares a lot about people. We used to play on the same AAU team, but we don't now.
You think that you'll play together again in the future?
Just watch, though, Karl's gonna join us for AAU in the future. We'll play again in the future. (laughs) I'm sure of that. I've just got to convince him to join us. (laughs)
You were named to the MaxPreps Freshman All-American team. What did that honor mean to you?
Oh, I'm always grateful for every award or trophy. I'm trying to help my team win and get better, but it's always great to have somebody say something positive about your work. It means that you're doing something right…and I've just got to keep it up. I can't rest or let it get to my head.
How did you get the nickname "Boogie?"
Oh, it was when I was really young. I'm not sure what age exactly, but I kept running around and people just started calling me "Boogie."
In the future, would you rather I call you Isaiah or Boogie?
Oh, it doesn't matter to me. It's whatever you prefer.
Before one of the schools that you mentioned showing interest in you was Duke, what do you know about their program?
They're recruiting me. They're always one of the best programs in the country. They've got Coach K. He's a Hall of Fame Coach. He spoke to me when I was younger. They've sent a lot of guys to the League.
What did Coach K say to you?
Just advice. He just told me to keep working hard and maybe they'll recruit me one day. It was real cool.
Do you have any plans to visit their campus? What do you know about the school itself?
No, not yet, but maybe someday. I don't really know too much about the campus or school. I'd like to know more.
What is their pitch to you?
You know, just that I'm on their radar and to keep working hard and to make sure that I'm doing right in school.
You're still very young so you have a long ways to go. Usually, Duke doesn't start getting very serious until players are a little older than you.
Yeah, I don't know a lot about Duke yet. I know Kyrie went there and they have a lot of NBA players, and Coach K's a Hall of Fame coach.
Who's your favorite pro team?
I really don't have one. I like individual players. I like to watch big or strong guards like Deron Williams, Tyreke, Kyrie, or Chris Paul. There are so many guys that just switch teams.
Who are you close to on the AAU circuit?
I'm friends with everybody really. I'm close with Karl (Towns) and Kyle (Anderson) and Tyler (Ennis). You know Wayne Selden, Stanley Johnson, Kevin Zabo from CIA Bounce, I'm cool with everybody.
Thanks a lot for your time. I appreciate it.
Sure thing, I told you I got you.

Hi, The council has decided in its April meeting [1] that we should take the route of parsing the EAPI assignment in ebuilds. Please find below a draft wording for PMS. Thanks to dleverton, ferringb, and zmedico for their input. The plan would be to allow optional parsing now, and make it mandatory in future, when EAPI 5 is introduced (i.e. EAPI 5 aware package managers would have to implement it).

The most troubling aspect of the news of the day and the play on 'US'
9:46 am in Uncategorized by Ironcomments
The top line propaganda piece of the last few days has been the dismal job growth numbers. Secondarily, it updates the previous numbers put out in months prior, revising them downward. In essence, saying that what was put out before was not nearly as accurate as it should have been. Now if you are conscious of what is going on, then you would remember that it was only a few weeks ago that several states were no longer eligible for federal assistance for unemployment insurance, California and Michigan being the two most populist and populated states being cut. The most logical thing to do is to review the economic data that reported these states were no longer eligible for federal assistance of unemployment insurance. Surely they must have based their findings on the same economic data that was just revised?
The conscience reader will already come to the conclusion that this will not happen. The simple reason is that this is what American austerity looks like. The bankers are pulling the strings in front of our faces. In one hand they handle the puppet Obama, in the other, Romney. The puppets fight over a pile of campaign cash, while we look upon like amused children choosing which puppet we like best. In the cartoonish drama for what most Americans think of, when they think of American History ; we are in Act 2 of a cyclic play named 'US'. In this scene of the second act the term recession is used . Perhaps the bankers don't want to frighten the children to much yet with the word depression? That word is left for Act 3 .
In Act 3 the world stage will be filled with all sorts of characters, heroes and villains and many of the children will be asked to join in this play. Many will go willingly, because children want to be like their heroes and vanquish the same villains. The puppet masters tell us that in the story of 'US'. Human freedom is intertwine with capitalism that at times we must sacrifice even in blood to keep it alive and that we must pray that this sacrifice is worthy enough. The story ends with many children dieing.
More children are brought into the audience and the play begins again, Act 1. The most troubling aspect about this play is not the dead children but that there are some children in the the audience who have seen this play already and cheer the new children along. The older children sometimes get permanent roles in the play and become puppet masters themselves never asking why. The story of 'US' has been told to children around the world.
The news of the day is never really new. The plutocrats in charge of human society have been feeding us the same story for a long time. The older children just retell the story and highlight the parts they like best. The cyclic madness is hidden behind the curtain of continued economic expansion, some would call it empire building. Our media is part and parcel to continuing this idiocy that retards human progress. Critical thinking and a society based on reason should be the goal not this emotionally crippled, easily led by the nose society, which listens to the mantra of "consume, kill, pray."

"This looks good but does anyone know how to make an original Cobb Salad? It involves putting each ingredient through a meat grinder (except maybe the avocado - just finely chopped) and putting them into distinct rows on a plate for presentation. Then it is mixed together at the table and served with a bleu cheese dressing. It is out of this world...."

Also, you list the jack cheese at the end of the list of ingredients for the sauce so I put it into the sauce. It wasn't until the last paragraph that I realized that the cheese was not part of the sauce..."

Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), working with the federal banking agencies, has issued additional guidance, in the form of frequently asked questions, on Customer Identification Programs (CIP) required by the USA PATRIOT Act.
The twenty-nine FAQs are designed to clarify issues as banks implement policies and procedures to identify and verify the identity of new account customers. For example, a customer is the person who opens an account, and does not include a loan applicant who is denied. If someone with a power-of-attorney opens an account on behalf of a competent individual, the principal, not the agent, is the customer. If the principal does not have legal capacity, the customer is the person holding the POA. Customers renewing a loan or CD are not "new" unless there has been a lag between closing an old account and opening a new one. While the rule requires banks to have a physical address for customers, the guidance explains that a rural mailbox number is acceptable.
Since verification is an important part of a CIP, banks have questioned to what extent the information provided by a customer must be verified. The guidance says not every element must be verified, but enough to ensure the bank has sufficient information to "form a reasonable belief it knows the true identify of the customer." The bank must retain information provided at the time the account was opened, so retaining only information provided later that updates a file (e.g., a change of address) will not meet the regulatory requirements.
As for checking new accountholders against terrorist lists, the guidance urges banks to adhere to OFAC requirements and restrictions, since no official terrorist list has yet been established. The regulatory agencies also stress that each bank's CIP must be risk-based, with additional steps taken to verify identify for high-risk accounts or customers and that a CIP is only one element of a bank's anti-money laundering program.
The guidance is at www.fincen.gov or at www.fdic.gov, FIL-4-2004.

B. Instead of Sec. 14 "Limitation of Crytek's Liability" the following shall apply:
Limitation of Crytek's Liability
a. Crytek is liable for damages, regardless on which legal basis (be it contract, tort or otherwise), only if

b. such damages are caused by Crytek's gross negligence or intent.
b. In case that Crytek is liable for the violation of an essential obligation of these Terms of Service (Kardinalpflicht) without acting with gross negligence or intent then the liability is limited to amount of payments received from the respective User.
c. If Crytek is liable for damages pursuant to Section (a) above for gross negligence or intent of Crytek staff other than the managing directors then the liability is also limited to the amount set forth in Section (b).
d. Crytek is not liable for indirect or consequential damages (Mangelfolgeschäden), loss of profits or frustrated costs if such damages are not a result of gross negligence or intent of Crytek's managing directors.
e. The exclusion or limitation of liability pursuant to this Sec. 23 also applies with respect to claims against Crytek's staff or contractors.
f. The liability of Crytek with respect to death, bodily injury or health, a guarantee by Crytek (if any) or pursuant to the Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz) shall remain unaffected.
g. If the User is also liable for certain damages then Crytek shall bear an amount of such damages in accordance to its contributory negligence (Mitverschulden). With respect to the User's responsibility for reduction of damages (Schadensminderungsobligenheit) the User is responsible for regular back-ups of its data and in case of an assumed bug shall take all further reasonable measures. In case of loss of data Crytek is thus liable only to the extent that such loss of data would have occurred in case of a due data back-up as well.

PUBLISHED: 24 Oct 2013 14:59:55 | UPDATED: 25 Oct 2013 00:05:29PUBLISHED: 25 Oct 2013 PRINT EDITION: 25 Oct 2013Property power often rests outside the sector, in particular with financiers and planning authorities, and this year was no different. The property market improved as the Reserve Bank of Australia cut interest rates and the banks lent more willingly. Planning approvals became a little easier as Victorian Planning Minister Matthew Guy flexed his muscle and NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell and Planning Minister Brad Hazzard "opened the state for business". It was those outside the sector who often took advantage: James Packer with his Sydney casino; and two of the nation's biggest developers, Grant O'Brien at Woolworths and Richard Goyder at Wesfarmers, which owns Coles.

Leduc Truss is located in Leduc, Alberta, 15 minutes south of Edmonton. From this location, we produce wood roof and floor trusses and distribute engineered wood products for residential, commercial, and agricultural buildings.
Clifford Paulson, a local entrepreneur, founded the company in 1979. In 1981, three partners with previous experience in the wood truss industry joined the business. Contributing their expertise were Gordon Tober, Russell Dyson, and Harold Cox. Mr. Cox attended the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (N.A.I.T.) where he studied millwork and carpentry. Mr. Dyson and Mr. Tober also attended N.A.I.T. and received diplomas in Architectural Technology.
Due to our success, we were able to relocate to a larger manufacturing facility in 1987. Since then, we have had several expansions of our operations adding more office and factory space to meet the increasing demand for our services. These expansions have allowed us to increase production capacity and provide improved design services.
In 1989, Leduc Truss was the first company in the Edmonton Region to establish a full time engineered wood products division realizing the potential for engineered floor systems in residential construction. This division has grown exponentially in size since its inception. The introduction of this devision also gave our customers the ability to ensure that roof and floor systems on more complex projects would be engineered for structural compatibility.
In 2006, the company under went a corporate restructure to allow the founder and largest shareholder, Clifford Paulson, to retire. In his place, the Qualico Group was welcomed as a new partner. Qualico is a Western Canadian based multi-faceted group with interests in land development, home construction, property management, building supplies and other truss manufacturing operations. With the remaining senior management team intact and the business strength of our new partner, we are now positioned to expand to our full potential for the future benefit of our customers and staff.
As part of keeping pace with the marketplace and its needs, we regularly invest in new equipment and technology. Most recently, we upgraded our operation to include the manufacturing of pre-fabricated wall panels. We anticipate that this division will have strong growth potential and will capture a growing market demand as the advantages of wall panels become realized in the industry.
Leduc Truss has established a reputation as a leader in Alberta's wood industry by building strong customer, supplier and employee relationships. Throughout our history, we have remained true to our initial business philosophy of supplying superior quality products at a competitive price with customer service second to none.

Leduc Truss has always been supportive of the local community and takes seriously our corporate responsibilities. This is achieved by supporting local charities and business associations.
