Here's the roster breakdown for the NBA fan:
Group A
FIBA World Ranking: 12th
NBA alums: none
Description: The kings of Africa, Angola is that small-conference team that dominates terrible competition and then gets steamrolled when they're invited to dance with the big boys. They have a great system, they are routinely the smallest team in the entire tournament, but they play with a lot of heart. That and a 50 cents will get you a bag of Doritos at the world championships. A really, really small bag.
NBA comparison:
FIBA World Ranking: 1st
NBA alums:
C:Fabricio Oberto (Wizards)
PF: Luis Scola (Rockets)
SF: Andres Nocioni (Sixers)-out with ankle sprain
SF: Federico Kammerichs (Blazers-drafted)
SG: Carlos Delfino (Bucks)
Description: One of the very few countries that can claim to be rivals of team USA, Argentina became the first country to defeat a team of NBA players in 2002, and then became the first (and only) country to defeat them twice in 2004, en route to their high point of Olympic Gold. These days, Argentina generally gets by on reputation, as they are older, slower, and ravaged by injuries. Overlook them at your own peril though, because they know how to win and nobody has more big game experience.
NBA comparison:
FIBA World Ranking: 11th
NBA alums:
C: David Andersen (Raptors)
PG: Patrick Mills (Blazers)
Description: The perennial underdogs of the tournament, Australia loves to run and utilize the 3-point line. That typically gets exposed in the WBC, where the pace is slower and open shots are hard to come by. They almost never win anything, but they generally have fun trying, and are easy to root for.
NBA comparison:
FIBA World Ranking: 7th
NBA alums:
C: Tibor Pleiss (Thunder-drafted)
Description: A one-man army that lost its general. Formerly one of the world's most dangerous teams, they still have some decent players left, but are largely toothless without the best player on their continent.
NBA comparison:
FIBA World Ranking: 37th
NBA alums: none
Description: Here's a sentence you never thought you'd read: Jordan is bad. Really, really bad. A historical doormat that's just happy to be here for the first time ever, they got past rival Lebanon at the last second to scrape out a 3rd-place finish in Asia. They finally have some decent players and legit size, but aren't fun enough to be lovable, and not good enough to matter otherwise.
NBA comparison:
FIBA World Ranking: 5th
NBA alums:
C: Nenad Krstic (Thunder)
C: Kosta Perovic (Warriors)
PF: Nemanja Bjelica (Timberwolves-drafted)
Description: One of the international pioneers of basketball, Serbia (formerly Yugoslavia) fittingly became the first country to eliminate team USA from the medal round in the dream team era in 2002, on the way to their 5th world championship, the most of any country. After bottoming out half a decade ago, they scrapped the old guard, and the new guard is way ahead of schedule. A group of talented, yet hot-headed players whose youth is both their biggest strength and their biggest weakness. They lack the surgical grace of their predecessors, but on any given day, they can compete with anybody.
NBA comparison:
Group B
FIBA World Ranking: 14th
NBA alums:
SG: Alex Garcia (Spurs)
SG: Leandro Barboa (Raptors)
C: Anderson Varejao (Cavaliers)
PF: Tiago Splitter (Spurs)
SF: Marcus Vinicius (Hornets)
Description: That talented team that looks like a monster on paper....until the ball gets tossed. The chronic underachiever of the international scene, Brazil has never been capable of maximizing their vast talent pool, and generally ends every big tournament flat on their faces. They haven't had a great team since the late 50's, and nobody outside of Brazil even remembers. Also, Oscar Schmidt doubles as the South American Dominique Wilkins.
NBA comparison:
FIBA world ranking: 15th
NBA alums:
SG: Zoran Plananic (Nets)
C: Ante Tomic (Jazz)
PG: Roko Ukic (Bucks)
Description: Their heyday came a decade ago, which unfortunately put them in the path of some of the best basketball teams in history. The only European country that can honestly say they miss basketball's glory days of the 90's. Even in a down decade, they are pretty good, but Toni Kucoc is not walking through that door. Drazen Petrovic is not walking through that door. Dino Raja is not walking through that door...you get the idea.
NBA comparison:
FIBA World Ranking: 21st
NBA alums:
C: Hamed Haddadi (Grizzlies)
Description: Relatively new to the scene of international basketball, Iran is learning very quickly. They've already surpassed China as the premier team in Asia, and after going 0-5 in the 2008 Olympics, look like they might win a game or two this go-around. A big, young team that might be ready to compete with better competition sooner than people think.
NBA comparison:
FIBA World Ranking: 43rd
NBA alums: none
Description: The Lowest-ranked team in this tournament, Tunisia is a poor man's Angola, which is like calling a division III team a poor man's division II team. Like Jordan, they're just happy to be in this competition. On paper they have athletes and have legit international size, but neither one has helped them beat Angola, and Angola is the least of their worries now.
NBA comparison:
FIBA World Ranking: 20th
NBA alums:
C: Primoz Brezec (Bobcats)
PG: Goran Dragic (Suns)
SF: Bostjn Nachbar (Nets)
PF: Uros Slokar (Raptors)
Description: Slovenia has had a lot of recent success copying the Lithuanian model for growing a basketball program. Unlike Lithuania, they have not had matching success. They started out small, but have slowly gotten better every year, and this may be their best team ever. A well-rounded perimeter team that badly needs to taste some success in order to be recognized as an international power.
NBA comparison:
USA (Olympic Champions)
FIBA World Ranking: 2nd
NBA alums:
C: Tyson Chandler (Mavericks)
C: Kevin love (Timberwolves)
PF: Lamar Odom (Lakers)
PF: Kevin Durant (Thunder)
SF: Rudy Gay (Grizzlies)
SF: Andre Igoudala (Sixers)
SF: Danny Granger (Pacers)
SG: Stephen Curry (Warriors)
SG: Eric Gordon (Clippers)
PG: Chauncey Billups (Nuggets)
PG: Derrick Rose (Bulls)
PG: Russell Westbrook (Thunder)
Description: The undisputed bullies on the block. They were unbeatable once, fell off for a brief period, and are now back on top again. They field a deeper roster than anyone, play faster than anyone, and generally overwhelm you on talent alone. Their low points would double as high points for most other countries, and their down cycles are almost criminally short, as they re-load faster than anybody. Their presence alone does not guarentee victory anymore, but they never go into a game as underdogs. Beating them just once is a feather in any country's cap.

Lauren Conrad's Cover Shoot Style
Conrad has been cooking. A lot. Before her trip to India, she made healthy turkey meat loafs and lasagnas for her boyfriend William Tell, who was heading into law-school exams. She liked this dainty floral apron, but some stains made it skippable.
Conrad bought this vintage sign for her kitchen in her Los Angeles condo. She liked the lettering in addition to the "pop of yellow," which worked with her kitchen color scheme.

IMPACT WRESTLING REVIEW: FINALLY SOME TOTAL NONSTOP ACTION The main storyline thread throughout IMPACT WRESTLING was Bobby Roode and co's attempt to take out Bully Ray. However the gangs assault failed, Bully Ray got back to his feet and went after revenge on his attackers.

Apostilles and Authentication Services
Effective Monday, March 24, 2014, we will launch a new electronic processing system for issuing Apostilles and Authentications. These documents are used to certify the signature of a Tennessee County Clerk, the State of Tennessee Registrar in the Tennessee Department of Health, or the Tennessee Secretary of State on notarized documents that originate in Tennessee for use in foreign countries.
We will continue to follow The Hague Convention Apostille and Certification Standards when we process Apostilles and the United States Department of State Authentication Standards when we process Authentications.
The new system will allow us to process Apostille and Authentication requests in a more efficient manner. We have developed a new request form for you to submit along with your documents that are to receive an Apostille or an Authentication.
Click here for the Apostille / Authentication Request Form.
We will no longer process work and then issue an invoice for the fees that are due. Fees must be submitted along with the request form and the documents that are to receive the Apostille or Authentication. The filing fee is $2.00 per document submitted for Apostille or Authentication. You will see a slight change in how the certificates are printed.
Authentications will now be printed on letter size paper instead of legal size paper. Apostilles will continue to be printed on letter size paper. Both document types will continue to have The Great Seal of the State of Tennessee in gold foil and will also continue to be stapled to a blue back document. You can click on the links below to see examples of the new Apostille and Authentication certificates.
The new system also contains an online verification feature that will allow you to visit our website and enter information from the document to verify the authenticity of the Apostille or Authentication.

The day is winding down and the market is holding up well, but the big question is whether the bulls can manage a decent close for a change. There have been very few strong closes lately, and the pattern typically becomes reinforcing.
Even if the market manages to squeeze a bit, this is sort of buying does not cause fear of being left out. As long as the fiscal cliff is up in the air and there's uncertainty about Europe, there is no reason to believe a bounce can be prolonged. At some point, we'll have resolution to key issues and we'll see a very energetic move, but the likelihood is that solutions won't come until near the deadline.
My game plan remains unchanged: respect the fact that the market is in a downtrend and focus on very short-term trades to produce small profits. I have no interest in carrying much inventory when the technical picture looks like this.

PETER Murphy struck another dramatic late goal as Accrington Stanley continued their fine record against Bristol Rovers.
Stanley had appeared to be hanging on for a 0-0 draw in the south west until Lee Molyneux, making his first appearance for the Reds since returning on loan from Crewe, crossed from the left and fellow substitute Danny Webber teed up Murphy to lash home.
The midfielder has been a specialist at late goals in the past two seasons and his goal gave the Reds another victory over Bristol Rovers, having ended their 12-match winless run at the start of this League Two campaign with a home triumph over the Pirates.
Stanley had also secured Football League safety with a win at the Memorial Ground last term.
The game only went ahead after two pitch inspections on the day of the game, with the rain holding off, and Stanley recorded their first clean sheet in nine games to move six points clear of the relegation zone.
The home side had the first chance of the game when target man Matt Harrold directed a header marginally over the bar.
Stanley had named Molyneux on the bench, with boss James Beattie opting to stick with the team that won 2-1 at Cheltenham in Stanley's last match, having seen Saturday's home game against Bury rained off.
Piero Mingoia saw a low shot saved by Bristol Rovers keeper Steve Mildenhall but the home side were having the better of the opening stages and Marcus Bettinelli had to save Kaid Mohamed's fierce effort, before the winger dragged an effort wide.
Peter Murphy had gone close with a header at the other end, although a swerving effort from Eliot Richards went only a whisker over the bar for the hosts.
Only 34 Stanley fans travelled for this fixture rather cruelly scheduled for a Tuesday night but they almost saw their side go in front at the start of the second half, only for George Bowerman's header to get stuck in the goalmouth mud.
The Reds were defending resiliently but a rare lapse allowed Mohamed in, and the wide man directed his angled effort against the base of the near post.
Richards then dashed past Laurence Wilson but lashed his effort over the bar, before substitute Ellis Harrison dragged a shot across the face of goal.
Stanley brought Molyneux on for the final 10 minutes but Bristol Rovers pushed forward and Mohamed twice shot just off target in the closing stages.
That, however, was until Murphy popped up for his dramatic late winner.

Federal regulators suspended operations at a central California slaughterhouse on Monday following the release of graphic undercover video from an animal-rights group. The video, filmed by Compassion Over Killing, allegedly showed dairy cows being repeatedly shocked and shot before being slaughtered.
The Associated Press reports that USDA officials shut down the Central Valley Meat Co. in Hanford, Calif., in response to the undercover video, filmed over a two-week period in June. With at least two USDA inspectors stationed at the site during normal operation, some have speculated whether these inspectors neglected their duties. Federal officials point that the investigation is still ongoing, but further action will be taken if necessary.
In a company statement, Central Valley Meat Co. reported that they "were extremely disturbed to be informed by the USDA that ... our plant could not operate based upon a videotape that was provided to the Department by a third party group that alleged inhumane treatment of animals on our property."
Animal-handling expert Temple Grandin said some of the major issues in the video can be attributed to the poor condition of the animals arriving at the plant.
"I urge the dairy industry to market their cows before they become weak and extremely debilitated," Grandin said in an article on MeatPoultry.com. Read more.
Here is a statement from animal-care expert Dave Daley, associate dean for the College of Agriculture at California State University and an active member of the cattle community:
"The vast majority of cattlemen stand firm in adhering to the absolute best animal care and handling guidelines established by veterinarians and other experts. We do not condone any mishandling of livestock on the farm or ranch or in the packing facility. In fact, we firmly believe that those knowingly and willfully committing any abuse to animals should not be in the business – period. The actions depicted in these videos are disgraceful and not representative of the cattle community.
"U.S. Department of Agriculture inspectors have a very serious responsibility and obligation to make certain that packing plants are vigorously following the guidelines in place that ensure animal care from pasture to plate. Cattlemen put their livestock above their own needs and truly develop a bond with the land and livestock. Cattlemen work hard every day to give animals the proper care and handling they deserve and expect proper treatment to continue after they leave America's family farms and ranches.
"This is exactly why the farmer and rancher code of conduct within Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) has been in place since 1996 and condemns the mistreatment of animals. We believe any individual who witnesses inappropriate animal treatment is responsible for making every effort to stop it immediately. Anyone who mistreats animals must be reported immediately and should be punished in accordance with the law. We must work together to put a stop to any abuse."

California's Fish and Game Commission voted Wednesday to consider a petition to add great white sharks to the state's endangered species list.
The 4-0 vote in Sacramento immediately bestowed state protection on the sharks pending a final decision, which will come in the spring of 2014 after a year of research by the state Department of Fish and Wildlife.
State Assemblyman Paul Fong, D-Mountain View, echoed a common concern among those who favored the petition about the possible loss of one of the ocean's top predators. Fong, author of a law banning the possession and sale of shark fins, said, "The loss of the great white shark from the coast of California would not be an isolated tragedy, but may be the start of a much larger decline of our ocean's health."
The commission also heard comments from marine biologists, fishermen and representatives of ocean advocacy groups. The majority of comments were in support of the petition, with several citing gill net fishing as a particular threat to the sharks.
Though targeting and selling great whites is already prohibited, there are now no limits on the numbers of incidental catches.
Environmental groups have been alarmed by two recent studies that have estimated the shark population, whose range extends from Mexico to Alaska to Hawaii, at 339 adults and "sub-adults" off the Marin County coast and Mexico, two main great white habitats. And the number of reproductively mature females was estimated at just under 100. The estimates are far lower than researchers expected.
Other speakers at the hearing, however, raised concerns about the accuracy of the recent shark population estimates, saying they need to be compared to historic numbers to show whether the population has been increasing or decreasing.
"I think these animals are very stealthy," one fisherman said. "I don't think the count that you have is the real count."
Geoff Shester, California program director of Oceana, one of the three ocean advocacy groups that sponsored the petition, admitted there is uncertainty in the estimated population. But, he said, "even if numbers are two to three times the current estimates, these are still extremely low numbers, presenting an inherent extinction risk."
Ultimately, the commission decided not to take any chances and to study the issue more thoroughly.
"White sharks are iconic ocean creatures," said Michael Sutton, who on Wednesday was elected commission president by his colleagues. "As the ocean's top predators, they deserve all the protection we can afford them.
"The status review will give us better information on the white shark population off the West Coast and threats to its survival," he said. "That will give us the ability to make an informed decision about whether or not to list the white shark as endangered under California law."
In 1994, Gov. Pete Wilson banned the hunting of great white sharks up to three miles offshore. And in 2011, Gov. Jerry Brown signed Fong's shark-fin bill. But both bans have loopholes that allow the sharks to be killed accidentally when caught in the gill nets that some fishermen use to catch halibut.
The move to consider the petition closes that loophole somewhat by requiring gill net fishermen to apply for "incidental take permits" within 90 days or risk being shut down.
Many of the public commenters and some commissioners said that in addition to protection from the state of California, great sharks need more protection in Mexico. And Sutton said an important part of a status review would be to "get a handle on what's going on south of the border."
The other two environmental groups that filed the petition were Stewards and the Center for Biological Diversity.
Along with Oceana, the groups have also filed a petition with the National Marine Fisheries Service, which will decide next summer whether to include great whites on the federal endangered species list.

MONTREAL — Thanks to some creative co-sponsoring, the third edition of the Montreal Jewish Music Festival (MJMF) will be headlining several internationally renowned performers this year.
Israel's popular world music group Yemen Blues and Daniel Kahn, a cabaret-style singer and storyteller based in Berlin, are among the acts that will be taking to the stage during the Aug. 26 to 30 festival, which is presented by KlezKanada.
The goal is to expose Montrealers of all persuasions to the diversity of music broadly defined as Jewish.
Most shows take places at the Rialto Theatre on Parc Avenue and La Sala Rossa on St. Laurent Boulevard.
The MJMF, directed by musician Jason Rosenblatt, best known as the harmonica player in the klezmer band Shtreiml, takes place just after KlezKanada's annual weeklong camp in the Laurentians.
The MJMF, whose main sponsor is the Jewish Community Foundation of Montreal, is able to bring in these big names and others by teaming up with Toronto's Ashkenaz, a biennial celebration of Yiddish and Jewish music Aug. 28 to Sept. 3 at Harbourfront Centre.
Some of the performers will also be coming off gigs at KlezKanada.
Both Yemen Blues and Kahn have a following in Montreal. The former, led by Ravid Kahalani, an Israeli of Yemenite origin, was a hit at last year's Les Francofolies. The six musicians who are coming to the MJMF meld traditional Yemenite and Western African melodies with modern western blues, jazz and funk.
Yemen Blues plays Aug. 30 at the Rialto. Rosenblatt is reserving plenty of space for the unbridled dancing that is sure to break out that night.
Kahn, a Detroit native, last year captivated the audience at his show at Congregation Dorshei Emet (the Reconstructionist Synagogue). Rosenblatt describes his act as "cabaret noir," a combination of edgy original Yiddish music with satirical tall tales.
Kahn appears at the opening concert Aug. 26 at La Sala with the "post-Soviet klezmer and pop" party band Opa! from Russia. These musicians manage to bring klezmer up to the moment with reggae, ska, funk and rock sounds.
Other international musicians coming to the festival are German klezmer clarinettist Christian Dawid (who, as the name suggests, is not Jewish) who will be joined by local musicians at La Sala Aug. 27 for a rollicking evening of klez contra-dance, and the Argentine duo Lerner & Moguilevsky.
One of the most popular events last year, contra-dance is a kind of American square dancing with a caller that will be given a traditional Yiddish twist. One of the callers is Michael Alpert of Brave Old World and a leading figure in the revival of klezmer.
Accordionist Cesar Lerner and clarinettist Marcelo Moguilevsky (among other instruments) bring their brand of klezmer mixed with Latin American folk music and tango to the Segal Centre for Performing Arts Aug. 28.
The same night at La Sala, Mexico/Brooklyn-based Deleon, which blends medieval Sephardi music with indie rock, shares the stage with one of Rosenblatt's bands, Jump Babylon.
The latter sings its original English compositions about the immigrant experience in a country-rock style, with touches of reggae phrasing and liturgical poetry. Jump Babylon launches its debut album Soldier Woman that evening.
Two other Montreal-based bands, Magillah, featuring lead singer Michelle Heisler, which performs a more traditional klezmer, and Siach Hasadeh, led by Yoni Kaston, which is reviving little-known meditative chassidic and other spiritual Jewish melodies, are on the bill Aug. 29 at La Sala.
Due to less funding, Rosenblatt has had to find ways of stretching his budget as far as he can. In addition to sharing the cost of bringing in performers from abroad, he has eliminated the free outdoor concert that was scheduled in the first two editions.
It was a hit the inaugural year in Parc de l'Amérique at St. Laurent and Rachel Street and probably would have been just as popular last year had it not had to be cancelled due to heavy rain.
Rosenblatt felt he could not take the risk of doing that again this year because, whether the show goes on or not, the artists and other costs like tent rentals have to be paid.
The MJMF is also a bit shorter this year. Nevertheless, he is satisfied the lineup gives the public a taste of the breadth and depth of Jewish music today.
Rosenblatt estimates that at least 40 per cent of those attending ticketed events last year were non-Jews, including many Francophone Quebecers. Last year, shows were held at such diverse venues as the Lion d'Or club and the Maison de la culture Ahuntsic. In total, about 1,300 seats were sold.
With Federation CJA's Le Mood program also contributing this year, Rosenblatt is trying to reach out to younger Jews who might not otherwise attend Jewish community programs.
He employs a liberal definition when considering which acts to engage: the lyrics are in one of the Jewish languages, the melodies are traditionally Jewish, or the songs – whatever language—touch on Jewish themes.
As devoted as he is to klezmer, Rosenblatt wants it to be realized that Jewish music is much more than that.
"I've found klezmer has become somewhat stereotyped, almost a mockery. It's is a bit insulting," he said, referring to the non-Jewish musicians he has seen dressed in chassidic garb playing this eastern European music in Poland and even Montreal.
However, "Just being a Jewish musician is not enough. Conversely, if a non-Jewish musician meets one of the criteria, by all means, apply [to the MJMF]," he said.
Rosenblatt admits, tongue-in-cheek, that if a Bob Dylan or a Paul Simon, wanted to participate at a fee within budget, he'd make an exception.

Student Insurance Issues
Student Health Insurance
Beginning in 2013, changes to health insurance from the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) made the cost of the optional insurance program previously offered to full-time undergraduates prohibitively expensive, so the University has ceased this program.
International Students. The University offers an insurance plan to its international students, which complies with INS requirements. All international students are required to purchase the insurance. The insurance is offered through GeoBlue and is only available to non-U.S. citizens. The booklet detailing this coverage is available at this link.
Other options. Many students will be able to obtain (or maintain) coverage on their parents insurance through the age of 26. Other students who wish to purchase health insurance will have to do so independently. Information is available from many insurance agents or the exchanges. You can also contact Leonard Insurances Student Division at 800-451-1904. Certain independent students and familes with lower income may qualify for Ohio Medicaid. This coverage is available for free to those who meet the income criteria. Information is available through the Ohio Department of Job & Family Services.
Wellness Center Services. The University maintains a Wellness Center for the service of our full-time tradtional undergraduates. Information about the services available is on their web page. Many services provided at the Wellness Center are funded by the University for all full-time traditional undergraduates (excluding MAP). The University provides this limited benefit in order for the student to seek non-urgent medical care at the Wellness Center.
Tuition Insurance
As a Muskingum University student or family member, you may want to consider Tuition Refund Insurance. This elective coverage offers up to 100% tuition refund, up to the policy limits, when a student can't complete classes for the semester due to a covered medical reason. To enroll or for more information go to GradGuard or call our Tuition Refund Insurance provider at (877) 556-3984.
Renters Insurance
It isn't health related, but while thinking about insurance, it's important to consider insuring the stuff students bring to campus. On college campuses (or off) – where laptops and other valuables
are often left unattended in libraries, classrooms, dorm rooms, and study areas
– theft can be a real concern. If your laptop or other valuables are stolen or damaged, YOU
are responsible for replacing them, not the school.

Hello, everyone I am a huge ambient music fan, and my love for electronic music began many years ago when I discovered Berlin techno and rave. Next stop was chicago house. Then I discovered the likes of Zoviet France and Autechre. Later I got hooked on ethno-ambient, and Rapoon/Robin Storey became my obsession. As I grew older, I mellowed out a lot, and my ambient musical tastes (d)evolved into drone music and indian ragas. On the other hand, when I need some adrenaline rush, I still love german industrial bands like Rammstein. I am a seriously foolish audiophile, and have a ton of money invested in fancy amps/speakers/wires/Cd-players. I love fast cars, and still drive only a stickshift. I happen to move around a lot, as I am a transitional protestant minister , and currently live in Wisconsin.
My second official CD was released in 2005 (called "Hoellenengel") which was basically performed on the same instruments Vangelis had at his disposal when recording the Blade Runner score (which is the mood I tried to capture with this album).

BC Liberals' much-touted Jobs Plan 'a colossal failure' - Cummins
BC Conservative Party press release
LANGLEY, BC, Feb. 8, 2013 - "No amount of taxpayer-funded television advertising can hide the fact that Christy Clark's 'Jobs Plan' has been - and is - a colossal failure," John Cummins said today, responding to the newly-released Statistics Canada's Labour Force Survey for January.
"Over the last year, 15,500 British Columbians have been forced out of the province's labour force - either seeing their jobs disappear, or giving up hope of finding employment," the leader of the BC Conservatives observed.
"It's as if the entire populations of Comox - or of Prince Rupert, or Dawson Creek - over the last 12 months had simply disappeared from the work force."
One year ago, in January 2012, the number of British Columbians in the provincial labour force - which is the combined number of employed workers, plus those actively looking for a job - stood at 2,467,400.
Last month, in January 2013, that number had dropped to 2,451,900. (All numbers are seasonally-adjusted.)
The BC Liberal government has spent an estimated $15 million in recent months to advertise the alleged success of their economic and fiscal policies.
However, in September 2011, when Clark unveiled her Jobs Plan, the number of British Columbians with a job was 2,294,500. Today's Statistics Canada report shows that the comparable number for January 2013 had grown to just 2,297,600.
That's a total increase of just 3,100 jobs in almost a year-and-a-half - or a paltry 194 per month.
"Is this what Premier Clark meant when she said that 'Defending and creating jobs is the primary mission of my government'? Cummins asked.
"If so, it is plainly evident that both the policies and actions of the BC Liberals have been disastrous for British Columbians and our economy."
Cummins concluded: "It's no coincidence that B.C. has been losing population through negative interprovincial migration since the summer of 2011.
"British Columbia, sadly, no longer is a high-wage magnet that attracts workers and their families from the rest of Canada. Instead, we're losing people to other provinces, and today's Statistics Canada report confirms that the number of workers and those looking for a job also is shrinking."

Fairfax County's Trashiest Stream Gets a Facelift
Fairfax County Office of Public
12000 Government Center Parkway, Suite 551
Fairfax, VA 22035-0065
June 9, 2005
Fairfax County's Trashiest Stream Gets a Facelift
Fairfax County's Stormwater Management Division is teaming with consultants to conduct a three-week long stream cleanup in a portion of the county's trashiest stream, Little Hunting Creek.
Shopping carts, furniture, cans, tires, bottles, and trash litter a portion of Little Hunting Creek. This section of Little Hunting Creek is the trashiest in Fairfax County and is slated for cleanup starting Monday, June 20, 2005 . (Photo/Fairfax County)
Little Hunting Creek is riddled with debris, including shopping carts, bottles, cans, mattresses, tires and household waste. Some of the trash was dumped deliberately into the creek, but much of it has floated in rainwater throughout the years from the surrounding watersheds made up of homes, buildings, roads, sidewalks, shopping centers and storm drains that lead directly to the stream.
The portion of Little Hunting Creek slated for cleanup is located in Alexandria near the intersection of Richmond Highway and Buckman Road. The county's contractor, TruGreen Land Care, will begin the removal of debris in an approximately one-half mile section of stream on Monday, June 20, and finish approximately two weeks later, completing the toughest stream cleanup in the county's history.
This portion of Little Hunting Creek was identified as a priority for cleanup in the Little Hunting Creek watershed plan developed in partnership with residents and representatives from local organizations and businesses within the watershed. The recommended projects will improve, protect, and restore local water bodies; prevent flooding; reduce erosion; and restore related natural resources. The stream cleanup is one of approximately 25 recommended watershed improvement projects currently being implemented in the Little Hunting Creek watershed.
On Feb. 7, 2005, the Board of Supervisors approved the Little Hunting Creek watershed management plan, the first of 15 watershed planning projects to restore and protect streams, meet regulatory compliance for water quality, and encourage community involvement in watershed issues in Fairfax County.
The county will develop management plans for all 30 of its watersheds that empty into the Potomac River and eventually into the Chesapeake Bay. Plans are currently being developed in Popes Head Creek, Cameron Run, Cub Run, Difficult Run and Pimmit Run. The plans provide a consistent basis for evaluating problems and implementing solutions for watershed management.
The Little Hunting Creek project and the watershed planning program are administered by the Stormwater Planning Division of the Fairfax County Department of Public Works and Environmental Services. More information can be found on the county's Web site at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/dpwes/watersheds. For additional information, contact Krystal Kearns, communication specialist, Watershed Planning and Assessment Branch at 703-324-5500, TTY 711 or visit www.fairfaxcounty.gov/dpwes/stormwater.

A:Go to - http://www.lumberliquidators.com/ll/flooring/Flooring101 and type bamboo midst. See "Solid Horizontal and Vertical Bamboo MSDS"
Q:Can I order the stair treads in to the 97404 store.
1 answer
A:Yes you can!
Q:Hello I was wondering whether you have risers with the same finish as this one. I saw three different bamboo risers but the finish was not specified. Thank you.
1 answer
A:SKU: 10011239 would be the match for this stair tread:
Q:Can this be sanded and refinished to a darker stain or do you sell unfinished bamboo stair treads?
1 answer
A:Bamboo is difficult to stain due to it being a grass and does not absorb it, unfortunately we do not have raw bamboo treads.
Q:Can this be stained to a darker finished? I need a dark walnut color to match my existing bamboo walnut strand flooring.
1 answer
A:This is pre-finished with a urethane coating.
Q:Would it best to glue or nail these down? I am removing carpet from the stairs, and I'm trying to figure out the best installation.
1 answer
A:I would be glad to help you with this question.
Q:I'm assuming this is perfectly sized to fit the tread of the steps, and I can cut down the overall square footage on the flooring ordered since that was originally intended to cover the steps as well. 1. Is that correct? 2. What is the benefit of getting this over additional square footage of flooring? Is it just convenience?
1 answer
A:I would be glad to help you with this question.
Q:Will the construction of these treads allow them to be cut down from the 11 1/4" width to maybe 10"?
1 answer
Q:Half my stairwell is boxed-in while the other is an open stairwell. How do I attack the open stairwell section with the bamboo treads that seem to be for boxed-in stairs? Or, are there treads specifically designed for the open section? If so, do you sell them?
1 answer
A:Yes we can special order treads that are made for open ended steps.
Q:Wondering whether I should be concerned with the thickness of these treads? I currently have carpeting with a foam underlayment and I am planning on bamboo floors ands stairs. I think this option is more elegant than the stairs with stair noses.
1 answer
A:The thickness of these treads put over your existing stairs may cause a trip hazard because you are adding a full inch which may cause stumbles. Different counties have codes regarding changes in the rise of steps in relation to each other and with the landings at the bottom and top of a stair case. Most likely this application will be outside of code. These treads are designed to replace not go over existing steps.

Mad Women is a tell-all account of life in the New York advertising world of the 1960s and '70s from Jane Maas, a female copywriter who succeeded in the primarily male environment portrayed by the hit TV show Mad Men.
Fans of the show are dying to know how accurate it is: did people really have that much sex in the office? Were there really three-martini lunches? Were women really second-class citizens? Jane Maas says the answer to all three questions is unequivocally yes. And her book, based on her own experiences and countless interviews with her peers, gives the full stories, from the junior account man whose wife nearly left him when she found the copy of Screw magazine he'd used to find "entertainment" for a client, to the Ogilvy & Mather agency's legendary annual sex-and-booze-filled Boat Ride, from which it was said no virgin ever returned intact. Wickedly funny and full of juicy inside information, Mad Women also tackles the tougher issues of the era, such as equal pay, rampant jaw-dropping sexism, and the difficult choice many women faced between motherhood and their careers.
©2012 Jane Maas (P)2012 Tantor
"Maas's humorous yet authoritative account of her life in advertising during the Mad Men era is a welcome look behind the curtain into a traditionally male world.... Maas mixes personal stories with advertising history, making this a compelling read." (Publishers Weekly)
"Interesting Listen"
I was initially worried that this would simply be a dumb little book cashing in on the success of Mad Men, but I was wrong. Jane Maas brought us right into the advertising world and gave an wholly believable and otherwise excellent account of what life was like as a working mother in a male dominated industry in the 60's. She made sacrifices, she had victories, she experienced sexual harassment, she got through it with many stories to tell. Lucky for us, this book is here to tell those stories
"An alternative history of the Mad Men era"
Probably not, one time is fine
Jane Maas' earlier memoir and advertising primer, written in the 1980s, any good advertising memoir
Genuine and engaging
No, but listened very consistently and consecutively
It hit home with my own experiences in advertising, and I think some of the Mad Men fans might well enjoy it, too.
Queen Squared
"Funny & Honest Memoir"
I will start with a disclaimer: I don't watch Mad Men. But, I have read my fair share of memoirs, and I have to say, this one is a keeper. Maas is honest about what her life as a woman in the all-boys advertising business of the 1960s was like. Moreover, I think contemporary women can relate to her. She discusses the challenges of being a working mother--feeling like she's neglecting her husband, her children, and her job. But, she's also humorous and ironic, without being a cynic. This is a book that anyone can enjoy!
"Fun Listen"
I enjoyed a look at the past. I remember the 60's and 70's very well.
It made me laugh.
"The 60s from a woman's POV"
Funny, eye-opening, well-written
Have we really come such a long way--baby?
No, but she's great.
I was infuriated by the section on Leona Helmsley. I think the author felt that way, too, but kept it polite.
When Jane Maas was at her peak, I was getting my first secretarial job as a way to succeed in business. Her book made me remember a lot of struggles I'd forgotten, or hadn't understood. I liked her light-hearted take on it all, though. She doesn't make it sound easy, but she let a lot roll off her back. That's a good philosophy.
"Jane Maas is wonderful"
Jane Mass has a very easliy read and enjoyed style of writting. It was a fun listen, although the narrator sounded like she was rushing. I was fortunate enough to meet Jane Mass at a AdFed Event and I would have loved hearing her read it. She has a wonderful manner about her delivery. Regardless, this is a quick enjoyable read and well worth the few dollars or credit for the memorable stories and laughs. Thanks Jane!
"You Go Girl"
I was interested in what this could be about and was pleasantly pleased to read a more real version of how it was for women during the 60's on Madison Ave. Well written and a good story line. A light easy read.
I thought she did a great job helping you to understand each character
"Absolutely loved it!"
I started this book because I liked mad men and was interested in this perspective. However, I absolutely loved it. Especially, how it discussed women's roles in work in family then and now. It really touched home and made me think about how life used to be and how I live my life now.
"One of the best books about Mad Ave in the 60s!"
An honest tale about the daily life in the office, the social mores and the some-what fashionable lifestyle.
"DISSAPOINTING and BORING"
I couldn't have been more board, than if she sat in a book store and read it aloud.
So very very boring, wish I could get a refund.

Green wants to play, but club exercising caution
TEMPE, Ariz. -- Brewers manager Ron Roenicke put the brakes on infielder Taylor Green's Saturday morning claim that he was only a day or two away from returning to action from a hip injury.
"He's still sore, but he's tough and he'll go out and play through it, and you can't do that with where he is right now," Roenicke said. "There's a difference between hitting a ball off your shin, and you've got a big old knot on your shin and playing through the pain -- it's different when there's a little tweak or injury."
Roenicke described Green's injury as "some kind of a deep hip strain," an ailment that struck during batting practice earlier this week at a particularly bad time for a player trying to win a bench job. A stint on the Opening Day disabled list remains a possibility.
Green, a two-time Brewers Minor League Player of the Year, has been frustrated by his setback, calling it "stupid."
"These opportunities don't come along too often," he said. "It's tough timing, but it is what it is. I've been through stuff like this before, so I'll get through it."

Gregg Wallace, presenter of TV's Masterchef, used his stay at The Bath Arms in Crockerton to pass on his knowledge, advice and stories to diners last night.
Mr Wallace was staying at the pub for a few days to catch up with his friend of 20 years, Dean Carr, the pub's owner and chef, and they decided to make a question and answer and dinner event.
Around 93 people sampled Mr Carr's signature sticky beef, followed by banana sponge, and took part in a quiz before listening to Mr Wallace.
He was working as a greengrocer when he met Mr Carr over 20 years ago and supplied the vegetables to Avenue restaurant in London, where Mr Carr was working.
He said: "I had a business go under and I started again on a farm in Surrey. A few people helped me and Dean was one of them. Dean used to say 'come down and see me'.
"We would see each other four or five times a week. I always enjoyed Dean's company and I like to come here and stay. It is a really nice part of the world."
Mr Carr said: "We always kept in touch and see each other a couple of times a year. People asked questions about him, Masterchef and what foods he liked. It was a good night all round."

The Moab EJS Bunny Run put on by Dynatrac, Superlift and Falken Tire brings together some of the slickest Jeeps this side of the Colorado – and quite a few from the other side of the river, too. Off-Road.com was invited along for the action, and we hopped on the Jeep train heading toward Strike Ravine, 12 miles outside of town.

In Texas, the fight against citrus greening starts at home.
Indeed, the Rio Grande Valley's citrus industry is focused on raising awareness among area residents about the threat citrus greening poses.
So serious is the danger that the board of Mission-based TexaSweet Citrus Marketing Inc. — which was launched to promote sales of citrus products from the area — voted in October to implement a communication plan that educates homeowners and small growers about greening and how to deal with it, said Ray Prewett, president of Mission-based Texas Citrus Mutual.
"Greening is our most serious disease problem, and fighting it has to include dooryard trees," Prewett said.
TexaSweet board members were unanimous in backing the organization's change in focus, said Eleisha Ensign, executive director.
The change in emphasis followed months of discussions, Ensign said.
"I believe that the TexaSweet board felt that citrus greening disease is an extreme threat to the industry and that TexaSweet's promotional funding would be better placed trying to save our industry," she said.
The ubiquity of citrus trees on private residential lots qualifies greening as a community concern, Ensign said.
"There are a great many dooryard citrus trees, and we need every resident in the Rio Grande Valley to be aware of this situation and understand what they can do to help the industry fight this battle," Ensign said.
It's one battlefront in the fight against greening.
The Texas Department of Agriculture is involved too, and recently enacted a second quarantine in the valley after greening was found in a residential grapefruit tree in Mission.
The restrictions encompass a 5-mile radius of the positive find and restrict the movement of citrus nursery trees, said Larry Hawkins, Sacramento, Calif.-based spokesman for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which has been working with Texas agriculture officials to deal with the problem.
Growers within the zone who want to harvest fruit for transport to an outside packinghouse must first treat trees with an approved insecticide and then harvest within seven days of application.
Harvest crews also must work to remove leaves, stems and other plant material before moving the bins outside the quarantine area.
The Mission discovery was the second time a greening-infected tree had been found in the region. In January 2012, the state and U.S. Department of Agriculture confirmed greening in a commercial orange grove near San Juan.
The discoveries come on top of numerous psyllids from the Rio Grande Valley that have been tested and found positive for citrus greening, also known as huanglongbing.
Although the positive psyllids don't result in regulatory action, they are a good indication that the disease is present in the area, according to the TexasCitrusGreening.org website.
Trent Bishop, a TexaSweet board member and sales manager with Mission-based Lone Star Citrus Growers, said he strongly supported the marketing group's change in priorities.
"That's not to say that in years to come we may not go back to the original intention of what TexaSweet was built for," he said.
Efforts also focus on isolating any psyllids that are found, Hawkins said.
"On the research side, there hasn't been a breakthrough, but we do have pretty good work going in terms of finding methodologies that may have promise in the future, with nursery stocks that have some resistance to the disease. I think it's going pretty well in that regard," he said.
Ongoing surveys have detected no other outbreaks, Hawkins said.
"We continue to look throughout the state in terms of surveying to find any other outbreaks, and it hasn't found any new detections," he said.
Worries about greening are widespread across the region, although Texas' problems with the disease pale in comparison to Florida, Hawkins said.
"It's been found in every citrus-producing county there," he said.
Hopes are high that the problem eventually will be eradicated, Hawkins said.
"I think they're doing all the right things and everything they can," he said.
Jeffrey Arnold, salesman with the Edinburg, Texas-based Edinburg Citrus Association, said his organization is doing all it can to fight citrus greening, with regular spraying and monitoring.
"We remain cautiously optimistic, and are fortunate to have the (Texas Citrus Mutual) in direct communication with Florida in order to take advantage of catching this early enough to minimize the spread of greening," Arnold said.

|An easy apple tart made with puff pastry shells.
Whenever I get an e-mail asking if I'd like a certain cookbook, first I think about how the book would fit my South Beach Diet lifestyle. Sometimes I politely decline, especially if it's a book for a different type of diet. Other times I say they can send the book and I might review it, but only if I find something I can adapt to my way of eating.
This is not a book for dieters of any kind. It's loaded with sugary baked goods that are beautifully photographed and sound like they would taste amazing. Just reading the book might cause you to gain a few pounds.
However, with that warning in mind, without doubt this is a gorgeous book. I decided to write about the book because not everyone who reads my blog is a South Beach Dieter, and if you're a baker, or know someone who is, this is a first-class cookbook in every way. The recipes are clearly written, and start and end on the same page, or two opposing pages, something that I always consider the sign of a well-planned cookbook. I've already mentioned the incredible photos, which are plentiful, although not every dish has a photograph. The book is has chapters on breakfast sweets, cookies, cakes, pies and tarts, spoon desserts, and what Dorie Greenspan calls indispensables for baking.
I wanted to try at least one recipe from the book, so I searched for the most South Beach Diet friendly recipe I could find and settled on this one for Parisian Apple Tartlets (page 319). It's a simple recipe with only puff pastry circles, apples, a sprinkling of brown sugar, and a tiny bit of butter. Although puff pastry is hardly a diet food, it's actually fairly low in carbs, therefore lower on the glycemic index compared to other foods containing white flour. This is something I might eat once in a while as a treat, keeping in mind that I'm on phase three of the diet.
Remember, I'm not a baker so please don't be too critical of the fact that my puff pastry didn't rise as evenly as it could have (antique oven!) or that I got carried away talking to friends and let the bottom of the tartlets get a bit too brown. Even with my lack of expertise, this tasted wonderful. Next time I might sprinkle a little cinnamon on top, but otherwise this is a keeper.
Parisian Apple Tartlet
(Makes 2 servings; adapted only slightly from Baking From My Home to Yours by Dorie Greenspan)
2 puff pastry circles (I used Pepperidge Farm, but Dufour Brand is recommended)
1 apple
2 tsp. brown sugar
2 tsp. butter, cut into small pieces
Preheat oven to 400 F. Put a piece of parchment paper, a silicone mat, or foil on a baking sheet. (I used foil which worked fine.) Peel apple, then cut in half crosswise. I then used an apple cutter to remove the core and cut the apple into 8 pieces. If you don't have this tool, just cut the apple into four pieces and cut out the core. (My apple was cut in 8 pieces and I removed one piece from each apple to fit it on the puff pastry better.) Center apple chunks on the puff pastry circle, dot with butter and sprinkle with brown sugar.
Bake about 25-30 minutes, until the pastry is deeply browned and apple can be pierced easily with a knife.
It would be tempting to top this with a bit of vanilla ice cream, but since I never have ice cream in my freezer, I managed to resist that temptation.

Watched Fear for the first time all of the way through. Also watched Rambo 4 all of the way through, even though my wife protested because of my PTSD. Both were pretty good and I expected less from both movies.
Sucks about your PTSD. You were in the military? My brother was in the military too and had two tours in Afghanistan. He suffered from that too, but now that he's been out for a couple of years, he seems to be back to normal.
Having said that, I saw Fear way back when. Don't think I'll ever want to watch that again.
First time in a long time, I've been happy with the team that was constructed, and now they struggle. I blame the coach.
The Dark Knight is on TNT... especially considering how underwhelming Rises was (IMO), I really appreciate the tremendous brilliance of TDK. Unbelievable.
Chernobyl Diaries
Meh. Movie has many issues. It was alright up until the last 1/3, then it completely fell apart.
Russia is not the same as Ukraine. Just saying.
I watched Apollo 18 last night.
I can never get those hours of my life back. Shame.
Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.

Rise of the Guardians.
Loved it. Excellent. Loved the take on Santa, the Easter Bunny, Sandman, Tooth Fairy, Jack Frost, and even the Boogeyman. My son loved it. I'm going to seek out the books now.
Just watched Pitch Black for the first time and thought it was pretty good.
My wife made me go to the last Twilight movie. Needless to say my love of the Vampire genre is now cured.
At the end I honestly couldn't tell you if I was watching a Vampire movie or a new X-Men movie as each Vampire had their own new super power.
Ugh, this movie was bad on so many levels.
Been putting it off for a while, but I finally watched Troll Hunter. Imagination provoking movie. Kinda flat for a while, but the last half more than makes up for it. Unique, enjoyable little movie.
Hey! What're you kicking me for? You want me to ask? All right, I'll ask! Ma'am, where do the high school girls hang out in this town?
Has anyone seen Life of Pi?
Life of Pi.
I cried, I won't lie. Powerful, sad, yet wonderful movie.
Don't ask Marvin Harrison what he did during the bye week. "Batman never told where the Bat Cave is," he explained.
I wanted to see it last weekend, but person I went to the movies with had not seen Lincoln yet, so I was glad to see that again.
Hopefully will see Life of Pi this next weekend
Don't worry about crying at the movies, I do it often. Usually not because something is sad, but because it is just emotional. I cried both in Lincoln and Argo when good things happened
Finally saw all three Godfather movies this weekend. It probably didn't help that I had already put them up on a pedestal (well, the first two at least) from all of the love they get from fans, but I wasn't blown away. I liked them, I respect them, but that's about it. Part of my problem is I really struggled to keep track of all of the players and the details of what was happening. I understood the broad strokes, but I felt a bit lost, too. Well done movies; I'm sure they pioneered a lot of things that I've seen many times since in newer films/TV, thus I'm numb to their impact.
I loved the first Godfather movie - have seen it probably a dozen times and like it everytime I watch it. In fact in many ways like it the more I see it.
The second Godfather movie, I liked it well enough, certainly respected it, but I thought the first one was much better.
The third one I have only seen one time and was bored and didn't enjoy it

Beast of the Southern Wild - I'm conflicted on this movie. On the one hand, it looks and sounds great, the initial sense of place it creates is fantastically unique, and that little girl is adorable. But a lot of the time, it does feel like a white liberal arts fairy tale about magical negroes in the swamp. Which it is. The movie nearly falls apart when Hush Puppy, Toby, Big Belly Joe and the rest have to interact rather unrealistically with the real world. I feel like for forty minutes, this would have been fine, but it really didn't have an hour and half's worth of movie. Kind of, sort of recommended.
Argo - Despite nearly falling apart at the end due to over-Hollywoodness (just like The Town), it's still a very engaging, brilliantly directed period piece. The first fifteen or twenty minutes of the movie is probably the best of this year. The stakes are set up, the history is established, and everything feels both real and relatable. It seems pretty obviously the front runner for Best Picture; the editing pretty much makes the movie. Alas, I didn't cry. Highly recommended.
Take This Waltz - This movie deserves some credit for showing a fairly reasonable depiction of a loveless marriage and why a wife would feel compelled to be unfaithful. I feel like in general, adulterers who are female get **** on way more than their male counterparts, so I feel this movie approaches this more honestly. That said, the end is pretty horrendous, and even if you were with it up to that point, you're kind of just like, for real? Also, way too long. Not really recommended.

Yes. I wrote what I thought of it. It's either above or back 1 page.
It's pretty damn good. Very emotional. Love it.

The Collection
Time to check out for a bit for gore, violence, etc. Totally unbelievable but so was the first movie. Lots of blood, etc., so if you don't lime that, do not see this. Similar to the Saw movies.
Finding Nemo 3D
All I can say is wow, I had only seen one other movie in 3D which was more distracting than anything. However the 3D made the movie come to life and I can't wait to see Monsters Inc.
The Odd Life of Timothy Green
Well intentioned, and interesting to a point but at the same time not...
Edit Signature
Kill Bill Vol. 2- Amazing film. The only problem I have with the film is the lack of swordplay. The first movie is clearly better in my opinion, yet, the movies are made to be completely different from each other. The first film sets the stage showing you the world around them, their skills in swords, weaponry, and martial arts. The 2nd film is more story oriented. I give the film an 8/10. Looks amazing in Blu-Ray I might add.
Dodgeball- I mean, this movie is just hilarious. Love it.
Follow me at @Bluejbgold
Just finished watching an old one in Fear with Mark Walberg. Makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up.
Bought my IMAX 3D tickets for the midnight showing and also a HFR 48 FPS for Sat night. So looking forward to the Hobbit. I've been reading the lukewarm reviews for it, but all of their issues are things that don't really bother me. Slow beginning, not much exposition, dragging things out. All things that I think will be fun anyway. Can't wait to see the dwarves, necromancer, smaug, and gollum!
Don't ask Marvin Harrison what he did during the bye week. "Batman never told where the Bat Cave is," he explained.
Smaug, oh hell yes!
First time in a long time, I've been happy with the team that was constructed, and now they struggle. I blame the coach.
I just finished watching That Was Then, This is Now. I think it was a good movie but a great book.
End of Watch

Life of Pi. Saw it this weekend. I have mixed feeling about the movie - let me first say I generally like movies with a lot of dialogue and this one doesn't have that, so that is a strike against it. Overall I enjoyed this movie, I applaud the fact that it is different, and I liked that it was quite emotional throughout.
The look of the movie (in 3D)was amazing, the acting of the lead was great - there were many memorable scenes. I recommend the movie. And maybe part of the reason why I didn't love the movie is that recently I have seen Argo and Lincoln and I loved both of those, so in comparison LOP just was not as enjoyable to me.
I love movies that make you think and this one does, but I don't like how it leaves you question if what you just watched really happened or was it something else.

work2hunt asked:
I'm planning to hunt early season high country mule deer either this year or next in Colorado. Being from the East, what is a typical shot length and angle of shot for a hunt like that?
Dan Pickar, cover author of EBJ 82 and EHJ staff member responds:
Hi Eric,
Bow hunting mule deer in the high country will throw many variables at you when it comes down to making the shot. This type of hunting is mostly going to be spot and stalk in open country and rough terrain. Be ready for windy conditions, longer shots, and steep shot angles.
The most important advice I can give you is to know your ability. For me, I won't take a shot further than 60 yards if conditions are right. What is the wind doing? What is the shot angle? What is the body language of the animal? That being said, Practice, Practice, Practice. I shoot out to 80 or 90 yards at the range. Shooting at these distances will prepare you well for a 50-60 yard shot in the field. Shoot when its windy. Shoot at different angles.
Also, a quality rangefinder with angle range compensation is your best friend. Shot angles can be very steep if you are shooting off cliffs or down avalanche chutes. Sometimes even straight down. Everything has to be perfect for it all to come together. You may only get one opportunity so be ready!
Thanks Dan! What tips would you offer for a first time mule deer hunter?

Student's art earns national honors
Citizen Staff Reports 10/01/12
Douglas Freeman High School tenth-grader Anna Laughter (pictured) recently learned that a drawing she completed last year will be placed on display at the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art in Virginia Beach Nov. 16 through Dec. 30.
The recognition, part of The Alliance for Young Artists and Writers' "Art. Write. Now. Tour 12-13," is the latest for Laughter's work, which earlier had earned three other honors.
The piece also earned a Gold Key Regional Award as part of The Scholastic Art and Writing Awards program and was displayed in February and March at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.
Later, the piece was named a Gold Medal winner at the national level and also was selected as a Best In Grade (BIG) award recipient – one of only two pieces nationally submitted by ninth-graders (from among 7,123 such works) to earn the award. It was featured on display in New York City in June along with other Gold Medal award-winners, and Laughter also earned a $500 scholarship.
