6 pitches of fantastic 5.9-5.10 crack climbing... with a short 5.8 pitch to finish the formation...
Directly up and behind the Zion Lodge...Starting around the right in a "box chimney" up into a 5" crack to the Anchors. Then you'll these obvious arching splitters that eventually lead up to the lichened green face above. You'll see a thin crack in the green face that fades out into another thin crack up and right... 6 pitches of 5.10a/b-ish climbing to a final 5.8 pitch
Standard desert rack with pro to 4"-5"
This is a very fun climb and more on the moderate side as far as zion climbing goes. There is a good topo to be had at the climbing shop in springdale and a good description in the new guide, but no topo. The original first pitch climbed up and tunnels through car sized boulders, very frightening. Apparently there is a variation to the left that climbs a splitter in a varnished face. The rest of the climb is fun and straightforward. Only one or two 5.10 pitches with short cruxes. Most of the climb is 5.8 or 5.9. Gets sun from midday on. Overall a little easier than iron mesiah.
Hey Caleb thanks for the comments... It's been at least 10+ years since I've been back to The Riddler's Delight. Not since we did the 1st ascent... I do remember saying most pitches were 5.9+ except the 3rd or 4th pitch in the left-facing corner(10b/c). I really need to get back to Zion... Great memories!!
I'd like to add that we did another variation up too the 3rd pitch. If you walk along carbuncle and keep high, dont go to the lower start, eventually you will run into a gully on your left. Walk in it about 50ft and there is a beautiful splitter finger/hand crack up the wall. After that its a dirty seam, but very fun. Lasso the block for a belay up top. EXCELLENT ADV. route.
There is a topo on page 144 of the Supertopo book. There is also good beta for the descent (if you go to the top) under the description for Risk Management on page 146. The biggest piece we brought was a #4 C4.
There are some good pitches (particularly 2 & 3) but be prepared for loose blocks and fragile chips on the last several. No where near as good as the established classics like Iron Messiah or the Headache. The first pitch (we did the var.) is good but a bit of a strainer with real somewhat runout 5.9 chimneying. I'd recommend bring double ropes and rapping the route.
Does anyone know about the anchor situation at the top of pitch 8? Does the anchor need to be replaced like a couple of topos that I read?
A good mix of type 1 and type 2 fun. One can avoid the run out chimney on the first pitch variation by climbing just to the left. A bit sandy but there is gear 5.9. The finger crack variation is good too 5.10ish but super sandy above with vegeneering to the hand crack pitch. Definitely some d blocks on fifth pitch. One pin and one loose bolt on top sixth pitch that we skipped in favor of the much worse descent out left. Skip the last pitch and rap from anchor at top of fifth pitch or bring a bolt kit.

When cooking with wine (in the food, not merely in the cook), longtime pairing advice had it to "Serve the same wine that you use in the recipe." Something about mirroring flavors, I suppose, but not always a wise suggestion, especially when, as in this recipe, so little wine is used anyway.
Even to braise, where you might use a good amount of wine, you ought opt for a lesser wine on the stove than on the table. Nonetheless, and happily so, much about this recipe (salt, fat, acidity) recommends wine such as riesling. Here, it fits in and out of the kitchen.
The food: Chicken in riesling with mushrooms
Mix 1/2 cup flour, 1 teaspoon each paprika and salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper on a plate; coat 4 boneless chicken breast halves with mixture. Brown chicken in 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium-high heat; reduce heat to low. Cover; cook until done. Transfer to a platter. Add 8 ounces sliced mushrooms to skillet. Cook, stirring, over high heat until lightly browned. Stir in 1 cup riesling, deglazing pan; cook to reduce slightly. Stir in 1/4 cup cream; heat 1 minute. Return chicken to sauce; turn to coat. Heat to warm, 2 minutes. Makes: 4 servings

You can download a brand new song from the album called 'Wire' right here and it's bloody lovely; still that wonderful mixture of innocent and mature elegance, she whispers of how 'I feel lonely/ My friends don't seem to know me like I thought they did,' backed up by her usual strumming guitar.

As demand for automobiles nearly returns to pre-recession levels, automakers are ramping up production.
Nearly 40% of car factories in North America now operate on work schedules that push production well past 80 hours a week, compared with 11% in 2008, said Ron Harbour, a senior partner with the Oliver Wyman Inc. management consulting firm.
"There has never been a time in the U.S. industry that we've had this high a level of capacity utilization," he said.
The Detroit auto makers closed 27 factories following the financial crisis as GM and Chrysler went through government-led bankruptcies. But U.S. vehicle sales have roared back from the trough of 10.4 million in 2009.
In July, U.S. car and light truck sales ran at an annualized pace of 15.8 million, up from a 14.2 million pace a year ago. Auto sales hit a peak rate of 17.5 million in 2005. The industry had 925,700 employees that year. Last year, the workforce stood at 647,600.
The combination of rising sales and tight production capacity helped Detroit auto makers last year generate the second-highest profit in the industry's history. Ford's North American auto operations racked up $4.77 billion in pretax profit during the first half of this year, while GM North America reported $3.4 billion in earnings before interest and taxes.
But fresh from a near-death experience during the recession, auto makers are reluctant to put money into bricks, mortar and machinery that could become a drag on profits if car sales fall.

More quote details and news » new $1 billion Chattanooga, Tenn., factory recently cut 500 workers after sales of its new Passat sedan swooned.
So instead, car makers are squeezing as much as they can out of the factories and the people they have.
For Detroit's auto makers, changes in union labor contracts have been critical to running factories harder.
Through a series of agreements negotiated with the United Auto Workers union, the Detroit Three now can schedule work at night and on weekends without paying as much in overtime as they would have in the past. Adding a third shift, as many plants have done, also reduces overtime. Overtime pay also starts after 40 hours a week, not after eight hours a day as in the past. On top of those savings, a newly hired Big Three factory worker now earns about $15 an hour versus $28 an hour for veteran workers, under postrecession labor pacts.
In Toledo, Ohio, Chrysler is building all the Jeep Wranglers it can and dealers say they are still short on the hot-selling model. The plant has been running nearly round the clock, churning out about 800 Jeep Wranglers a day and using overtime to staff production lines 20 hours a day, six days a week for the past two years. Temporary workers fill in when regular employees aren't available.
Workers don't even have to leave the factory to get a bite to eat; there are three Subway locations there.
Toledo factory managers recently changed break schedules to squeeze out even more production. Instead of shutting down the assembly line eight times a day for routine breaks, they have hired extra workers to fill in during breaks, so the line doesn't stop running.
The result: about 70 more Wranglers a day. With a starting price of $22,295 each for the vehicle, that is $1.6 million or more in additional revenue a day.
"We've been able to raise the output of the plants without buying a lot of hardware," said Scott Garberding, Chrysler's manufacturing chief.
Stretching workers and plants can only go so far.

More quote details and news » Montgomery, Ala., factory, said the South Korean auto maker's decision last year to add a third shift came as a relief. Before that, he was working 10-hour-a-day shifts with overtime.
"It was very grueling," he said. "You make great money but the toll it takes on the body, and the time away from family gets hard to deal with."
Hyundai's decision to hire an additional 800 workers boosted the plant's yearly production to about 385,000 vehicles, about 150,000 more than two years ago when the factory ran two shifts a day. The factory's 33 parts suppliers also created extra shifts and hired about 700 workers.
Finding the right employees to do the physically intensive work can be a challenge. "People who know how to build cars have disappeared," says Chrysler Vice President Mauro Pino. At its Toledo plant, Chrysler recently hired about 1,200 to build a new Jeep, "all of them were new to the industry," he said.
Of those who applied for the work, 70% were rejected, mostly because they couldn't pass initial assessment tests, Mr. Pino said.
GM is running six of its U.S. plants through the night on three-shift schedules. Last year, GM produced 3.24 million vehicles in North America compared with 4.52 million in 2007—when it had five more assembly factories.
Ford has gone a step further, adding a fourth crew of workers at some engine and transmission plants to keep those factories running 152 hours out of the 168 hours in a week.
The techniques have helped expand production by 600,000 vehicles during the past 15 months—the equivalent of about three assembly plants, says James Tetreault, Ford's vice president of North America manufacturing. Ford doesn't plan to build a new North American assembly plant, he says.
"In an ideal world, we'd like all our plants to run around the clock, 365 days a year," says Mr. Tetreault. "That would be a financial dream. But we don't know how to do that yet."
Many component suppliers are stretched to the hilt trying to build enough parts to keep up with new-vehicle orders. The auto industry is now building about the same number of vehicles as it did in 2007, but with about 100,000 fewer employees, said Neil De Koker, president of the Original Equipment Suppliers Association.
"For some suppliers that's a real challenge, especially if you're a smaller, family-owned company," Mr. De Koker said. "They have to ask, 'Should I invest $5 million and take the risk the market won't turn.' "

First 2 bots share molds. They hardly look like their G1 counterparts, especially Bruticus. And they have very easy alt-modes and transformation.
It's like making a combiner out of spy changers and calling it better then Movie deluxe cars combined. Everything pre-movie is so less complex (exept for the Car Brothers and and beast wars of course). And a less complex transformer makes a great combiner limb.
My vote goes to FOC Bruticus anyway

Take the college student survey to share your opinions about your school and be entered into a $1,000 scholarship!
Reload the page and try again.
A- A+F Parking: New parking has just been opened up by library.
A+ A+F Weather: What is so wonderful is that we have every season.
A+ A+F Campus Housing: Students can either live on campus or off campus. Living on campus is honestly a blast! Of course there will be the problems in the first year since the freshman on campus do not get to choose who all they room with in Green Hall but once you move past the differences, everybody seems to get along pretty well. The dorms are really nice, large, and kept clean. Going to visit other schools after seeing the quality of these dorms made my choice so much easier. I have not seen any other campus have nice, large dorms like these. After moving out of the freshman dorms, students are given the opportunity to choose where they would like to live and who they would like to live with, if they want somebody to live with. The dorms only get better! There are even on campus houses that students can choose to live in. There are many options and I believe that the housing options are reasonably priced.
A- A+F Majors: I began my journey here as a Business major. I quickly changed my decision into an Elementary Education major. The transition was a tad bit tricky because my Business adviser did not want to see me go. However, my new Education adviser was very welcoming and made me feel as if I was already one of her own. Getting accepted to the school from the beginning was not too difficult. The main focus is the GPA. If the student's GPA is a 2.5 then the student is pretty much accepted. The only way that somebody with this GPA or higher could not get accepted is if there was trouble with the law. I suggest that any student wanting to attend Friends University should keep in touch with their adviser so that the years go by smoothly and effectively.
B- A+F Weather: This is Kansas so you never know what the weather will be like. We get all types of weather around here. If you don't like the weather just wait ten minutes and it will change is the saying around here.
Campus Strictness: I do all of my classes online so I do not spend any time on campus.
Greek Life: I am an adult student so I really do not know what that life is like.
A A+F Diversity: I would say that they do not judge anyone for any reason at Friends. I have had nothing but a positive experience while attending there.
B A+F Academics: the academics at friends is basically how you put yourself out to be a public person, that how they grade you here. Becoming a out going person, basically becoming a leader.
B A+F Greek Life: people treat others the same way, everyone knows each other and the housing is alright for college students.
B A+F Campus Strictness: their is not much strictness going on, but you cannot have alcohol on campus and no parties are aloud.
B+ A+F Academics: friends university is a great opportunity for education and business majors, you get close with teachers because the classes are small. facilities are a C+ grade, they need to be upgraded. Sports teams are excellent and you know a lot of people around campus.
B A+F Local Atmosphere: Topeka is not a very big city so the options for activities are limited.
A+ A+F Majors: I have to participate in discussion forums every week with the other members in my program. It is nice to interact with them about the coursework. I have to write several papers and essays. I also have short exams that are relatively easy if you have the correct textbook. I do enjoy it because the layout of the program is very organized and easy to follow. It is unique in the sense that I only take one course at a time. I like this aspect because I can allow all my attention on one subject and achieve better grades.
A A+F Majors: It was rather easy to get into the program. I had to obtain copies of my transcripts because I was entering as a transfer student. The most important criteria for admission was my college transcripts. I had to have above a certain GPA and I had to have a certain amount of credits. A tip I would reccomend is to be patient and follow all the steps in order.
A+ A+F Majors: I would definitely do it all over again, given the option. I believe it is a very organized, convenient program. It has been flexible and manageable, the coursework isn't extremely challenging, at the same time, not too easy either. I feel as if I'm learning a great deal and retaining my knowledge. My career goals are to be an elementary school teacher and I'm concerned I won't find a job due to the recent increase in teacher cuts.
A A+F Majors: As a business management major, I don't intend on obtaining an internship. However, after I receive my degree, I plan on student teaching and receiving my Texas teacher's certificate. I will have a one-year paid student internship as well as required coursework.
A+ A+F Off-Campus Dining: Friends is located in Wichita, Kansas which is abundant in different types of restaurants, many of which are quite close to the University.
A+ A+F Drug Safety: It is an intensely Christian school. Any drug consumption happens away from the campus.
Athletics: I am a music major and not really interested in the athletics at Friends, although I hear great things about it.
A- A+F Parking: If there's a major event going on, parking can be a minor annoyance but on a day to basis, it is very easy to get a spot close by. Traditional undergrads make up a majority of the school's population and most of them live on campus and walk to class.
A- A+F Facilities: Buildings are in great shape. Buildings however need to be updated to be more "green"
B+ A+F Athletics: The athletic program is great and amazing for a private school.
B+ A+F Facilities: All facilities are well maintained. Some however are outdated buildings and would need some updating.
B A+F Off-Campus Dining: There are a handful of fast food restaurants a few blocks away from campus. The convenience isn't always the best especially when one is on a time crunch.

Ms Win are at it again. Security vulnerability. Nasty one!
Microsoft admits millions of computers could be infected with malware before they're even out of the box
I've not read the whole text but that is a nasty thing. I mean
you do have to be a geek/nerd to know how to deal with such?
Do they tell how to get rid of it? One would need DVDs
that is warranted to be free of malware and to start all over
wiping the HD clean and make a fresh install can take a day?

The gist of the story is to deter people from buying (cheap) pirated versions of windows ...
The software is loaded with counterfeit copies of Microsoft Windows, the company said.

It seems obvious to me that if it has Windows on it, then of course it has malware on it.

These days, it would be more appropriate to say "Flash=Malware" or "Java=Malware" or "Adobe Reader=Malware".
I just updated Firefox on a Windows machine. As part of the install, Firefox provided a list of OTHER apps that it recommended you update for security reasons.

Now the embarrassing thing is that I have not read the text.
Have any of you really read it? As I get it it has more to do
with criminals being able to place their nasty code in places
that gets used by those that work on the testing of the computers?
or to contaminate the OEM DVDs that gets packed or the transfer
of the OEM software to the computer before shipping.
I feel very unsure of if it is as you guys paint the picture here.
But I only wild guess. Am I really wrong? If I am way off base
then I will tell Flash to delete the thread. I trusted that Independent UK
know what they write.

A thought has just occurred to me.
If you were a huge corporation, like say Microsoft, that had just posted its first huge loss ever, what would you do?
Would you just say 'Oh well, we had a good run, and got away with it for so long, we'll just have to accept that customers have woken up to us'.
Or would you do something that was consistent with your nature, and proven track record, and put out some more FUD, for example?
If the consumer could be made to think that they had some evil 'counterfeit' system on their machine, they would go and buy a copy of the 'genuine' one, which would somehow be better.
Problem solved.
Profits restored.
How easy is that?

Compare with what BBC writes
Viruses 'installed in PC factory'
Cybercriminals are exploiting insecure supply chains to infect computers before they leave the factory, says Microsoft.
The viruses were discovered when Microsoft digital crime investigators bought 20 PCs, 10 desktops and 10 laptops from different cities in China.
Four of the computers were infected with malicious programs even though they were fresh from the factory.
Microsoft set up and ran Operation b70 to investigate and found that the four viruses were included in counterfeit software some Chinese PC makers were installing on computers.
I don't know if these ever reach Europe but why would BBC lie about it?
BBC try their best to be as accurate as possible. Are you implying
that Ms in some way payed the BBC to publish this?

The story seems plausible: somewhere in the illegal supply chain malware has been deliberately or accidentally been added to pirated copies of Windows sold in China.
So the story is not necessarily lies, but the purpose of Micro$oft publicising it's investigation into counterfeit software is to increase sales of genuine Micro$oft products: essentially a
scare story

If you read the quote, it says MS bought 10 PCs.
Those would have had MS installed already.
So in fact, they would have been shipped for sale to the PC buyer with viruses and malware preinstalled on the new computers.

According to Microsoft
the move to FOSS is risky and bound to make Government systems more vulnerable to hackers
Government lacks competent expertise to handle the challenges that comes with the free and Open Source Software
FOSS means less accountability, the Sate might find it hard to hold anyone accountable should its systems be hacked. (Bruce wonders: Has Microsoft ever been easy to hold accountable, wonder of wonders)
FOSS is not copyrighted, so says MS. Just like other players in the copyrighted software, MS is accountable when their software is hacked, the case is different with the non-copyrighted software,"
link to story
Bruce says
Experience with ethically challenged companies has taught us to be slow at taking things at face value from proprietors. For example, just because Microsoft says so, doesn't mean it's the truth.
For people who want to think FOSS is free, non-copyrighted, read the GPL, unlike many proprietor's license, the GPL is easy to read and understand. Read it
sticking yer foot in yer mouth.
Presently, Red Hat is counter-suing Twin Peaks over its claim that Red Hat is using a patent of theirs.
Red Hat replied with a counter claim that Twin Peaks took its FOSS mount utility, didn't comply with Red Hat's GPL and packaged mount as Twin Peaks' very own software and boxed as its proprietary software.
I think Red Hat will come out the winner. And Twin Peaks should have looked first, to see, if they had clean hands, before suing Red Hat for being dirty.

In order to beat the financial crisis I expect that corporates will try to "lock down" supply so that the end consumer has less choice. How long before only "Microsoft Approved" or "Apple Approved" PCs are legal in the USA I wonder?? (at least in schools etc)
It's not just cybercriminals that infect PCs. It is government agencies too. (Read about Stuxnet as an example).
It is sad that anyone would buy any MS powered computer and think it might be clean. No computer is ever free from risk (even if running Linux)

Yes, I am particularly fearful of how pervasive Java is becoming. Even in word processing software. The risks are everywhere now, and I really don't think trusting an antivirus programme covers all bases. The threats are everywhere.

Queen Elizabeth II, herself, bestowed Knighthood, one of the highest honours an individual in the United Kingdom can achieve, on Sir William Henry Gates III.
If anyone didn't know, William Henry Gates III, is an English Knight, now you do. Fortunately, we don't have to address him as Sir.
If any of you are peasants, working the lands of William Henry Gates III's King, and you are attacked by Knights of a competing Kingdom, I wouldn't bank on finding him on a White Horse coming to your rescue.
I would however, bank on him
coming to your rescue.
Considering how much the Queen has been angered recently, I'd be careful about how I spoke of any of Her's.
Also, if you catch William Henry Gates III with his top off, don't take a picture of him, for goodness sakes.

good light weight trousers , very comfortable to wear, quick drying ordered the mens trousers to allow for better leg room at the top compared to ladies trousers. the only draw back was the length I really wanted short length 27" but it was not available . excellent purchase never the less
01/09/2013 19:12:32
Went walking in these today and found them very comfortable both driving to our destination and the walk itself. Out and about for about 3 1/2hrs with no issues, a generous amount of pockets with two being zipped type for those must-not-lose items.
17/04/2013 19:54:16
I was looking for some walking trousers which i could wear on day to day life and seen these which were perfect. great quailty lots of pockets some with zips. very comfy aswell. will be looking to get some more in different colours.
12/09/2013 07:04:37
I already have two pairs of these trousers which I wear extensively for travelling, I have now bought a further two pairs as I think they are excellent value for the money. The fit is good and sizing pretty accurate
11/07/2013 16:15:37
Great value trousers, would have given 5 stars but bought a pair in your Horsham store had to take them back after a week seem torn in pocket, but did not have size to replace them, so money refunded.
21/10/2013 16:01:00
Liked the fit if these trousers so much I bought 2 pairs. I go walking once or twice a week and needed to buy new trousers. I will be back when I need to make another purchase
17/06/2013 21:01:36
my husband now has three pairs of these trousers which he wears almost continuously (one pair in the wash, one pair being worn and NOW one pair in the wardrobe ready for use)
02/07/2013 10:59:50
I purchased a pair of these trousers in a different colour two weeks earlier for my holiday. Very pleased with the product, so decided to purchase another pair.
22/03/2013 10:35:28
Good style and fit. Elasticated band, pretty useful should you forget your belt. Will probably order another pair given the current price and value for money.
10/07/2013 19:25:42
These were purchased for my son, usually wears jeans, but was very pleased with previous puchase of trousers. converted from jeans, and really very practicle
16/04/2013 11:25:47
Third time that I have bought these trousers. They are hardwearing comfortable and look smart enough to wear on most occassions. Very pleased indeed.
13/11/2013 14:59:12
I can specifically to purchase these although I had to purchase a long length which I ill need to shorten s no others in my leg length ere available.
28/10/2013 22:20:42
Brought this pair to replace another pair which id grown out of. Got loads of use out of them and found them very comfortable to wear on long walks.
22/07/2013 21:08:41
I've found Mountain Warehouse trousers comfortable & longer lasting than other similar priced brands. Quality is also good for the purchased price.
26/09/2013 21:22:05
Bought first pair in store, liked them so much I bought another two pairs online. Comfortable to wear all day long, in the house or outdoors.
29/06/2013 17:02:25
Bought these for my husband who wanted a pair of light weight trousers for walking which would make him over heat. These really fit the bill
09/08/2013 06:00:55
Nice lightweight walking trousers that dry quickly after being caught in a shower. Plenty of pockets for all the small things.
07/08/2013 19:02:29
A very good outdoor garment, well cut and comfortable, loads of pockets some zipped. clearly made from quality material.
02/08/2013 09:50:50
For my son going to NI jam they are an excellent for camp and are acceptable as uniform. Hard waring and comfortable
30/08/2013 09:32:06
Material has a nice feel, they are light weight and comfortable and have loads of pockets - what more could you want?

Live this Week with Charlie Day!
We're live this week with host Charlie Day and musical guest Maroon 5!! And in honor of Day's (and Sudeikis') summer movie, "Horrible Bosses," we thought we'd hit you with one of SNL's favorite horrible bosses, Mr. Tarkanian. Day and Sudeikis had it easy, at least neither of them were murdered via trident at their jobs.
From Pierce Brosnan's May 5th, 2001 show, enjoy Will Ferrell as the evil Mr. Tarkanian.

2012 Kia Cars
This year Kia has introduced an all-new Forte in sedan, coupe and hatchback body styles. As well, the Soul is all-new and the Cadenza makes its way into the American marketplace. Kia currently also markets the subcompact Rio and mid-size Optima sedan. For those wanting a bit more space there is the Sorento and Sportage crossovers and the Sedona minivan.
Kia started out selling the Sportage and Sephia sedan in 1994, but today their products are a far cry from the basic, cheap vehicles they began with. Borrowing heavily from parent company Hyundai, Kia's vehicles are packed with modern technology, but have a distinctive look that is far from the more conservative styles employed by Hyundai.

I have been developing for about 4 years now with my primary language being C#. My first language was Visual Basic though. The thing is through my journey I noticed more and more C# examples, posts, tutorials, etc. and made my switch to C# within the first 2 months I started programming. Ever since then the trend seems to me (my opinion) that there is more and more C# and less VB.
One other thing that kind of pushed this assumption was when Microsoft launched WP7, allowing only C# developers the opportunity to develop applications for their platform. I know now they support VB, but it seemed reluctant and more like they were forced to.
Also I noticed a lot of developers, on these sites specifically, asking advice on how to migrate their applications to C# or how to convince upper management to make the switch.
Visual Basic is rather old now (started back in 1991) with its fair share of updates, including it's main update to VisualBasic.net in 2003. The syntax in my opinion is too different to be helpful when learning other languages. C# made learning PHP and Java a breeze.
So back to my original question:
Is Visual Basic a dying language?
p.s. I couldn't stand the fact that you never ended statements with a semicolon just a new line. It's like a sentence with no punctuation mark.

OTTAWA, Sept. 17, 2013 /CNW/ - The Forest Products Association of Canada (FPAC) is opening nominations for its annual Skills Award for Aboriginal Youth, as part of its effort to attract more Aboriginal workers to the forest sector.
The award will honour a First Nations, Metis or Inuit individual with strong academic standing who is committed to their field of study and to a career in the dynamic forest sector. The $2,500 award is targeted at youth from 18 to 25 who are now enrolled in an apprenticeship program, in college or in university.
"We recognize the special historic bond between Aboriginal communities and the forest products industry," says David Lindsay, President and CEO of FPAC. "It is vitally important for the forest sector to reach out to our neighbours and long-time partners in rural forest communities, and that includes Aboriginal youth."
Under Vision2020, FPAC has set the ambitious "people" goal of refreshing the workforce with an additional 60,000 workers by the end of the decade. This includes a desire to hire more Aboriginals, as well as more women and new Canadians. The other Vision2020 goals are to increase economy activity by $20billion through new products and markets and to further enhance the sector's environmental performance by another 35%.
This is the second year that FPAC will hand out this award. The first Aboriginal Skills award went to Baillie Redfern, an M.Sc graduate student studying Genome Science and Technology at the University of British Columbia. Redfern, a member of the Painted Feather Woodland Metis Tribe in Ontario, is studying how to use bio-ingredients from wood fibre to create bio-products such as pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.
Nominations for the annual Skills Award for Aboriginal Youth will be open until November 30, 2013. Information on how to apply can be found at: www.fpac.ca/youthaward
About 17,000 Aboriginal people now work in the forest products industry, making the sector the largest employer of Aboriginal workers.
FPAC provides a voice for Canada's wood, pulp, and paper producers nationally and internationally in government, trade, and environmental affairs. The $57-billion-a-year forest products industry represents 2% of Canada's GDP and is one of Canada's largest employers operating in hundreds of communities and providing 230,000 direct jobs across the country.

Thanks -- is a Bill O'Reilly in the Miller time segment tonight three -- topics beginning with the occupy protests against NATO in Chicago over the weekend while some liberal commentators pretty much ignored the situation.
Our guy Dennis was locked -- he joins us now San -- ran a little bit of trouble.
If you -- little he'd like it Omar's -- really appreciate that little that plug there.
Well -- -- because audio sounds like he's in a tunnel.
But this is the way to satellite is break into.
Hard to occupy protesters in Chicago if you were there what would you tell them.
Why wouldn't -- there because it didn't agree.
That's a good chance you get -- -- plunged.
Let's you know people can -- -- brought -- streets that's their business.
You -- start stake in Chicago cops with -- you're gonna find the reason they Wear the checker -- -- -- -- that is.
If you get their base and you're consistent jacked up about it.
They well crowd you and I think that's what's gonna happen here over the weekend.
Never we had this many out of the little people in little -- and -- -- look at -- I realized that I think it all the world's stage.
These protests have now become show -- for people who lack talent.
This is where they get up this whole passion play -- straight.
But it's white cop I'm gonna take it -- and you know the police -- gonna give them the swinging away like Leo Durocher didn't Billy Williams and it's gonna get -- got back.
Well the problem is that the liberal media which is largely ignoring that the occupy protests now more.
From the citizen protests into a very organized an artistic deal run out of Washington as we reported last night if the police do decide to retaliate.
Then the media will make it about the big bad police and so that's what the occupiers want they want that.
-- that's why you gotta keep Powell and his druthers I would say to those kids out there you're watching this even though -- -- usually hate guys like me.
Did you -- a year off.
-- -- Bust your tail so we can get a base line on how bad.
-- -- -- That's what we need to do right now to figure out who's really helpless.
Anybody who's not dollar bulls paid the local paper one -- then you can get your -- back Innospec socket marrow again.
But first here just for your country bust your -- Betty well I don't like -- it's more.
-- they want the country did change they don't like America that's the theme.
From this whole thing we want achieve our you don't like capitalism little -- about it we don't work in his system.
And and just to -- five I don't know what he heard the story or not but last Friday went to Jesus Christ superstar the play on Broadway.
And somebody pick me up I guess going in or today in the audience and they.
Texted -- and it was a wise guy occupier waiting for -- outside in my face even though I have three children with me I told them -- look I got his house.
And -- Carey's re it he wanted me to punch and he wanted me to do.
What the police didn't do in Chicago they were very disciplined.
-- right he wanted -- to hit him.
He wanted to -- Jack that up they all have their little cameras they're all running around.
I'll tell -- it's really -- control and then at the highest level of the country as we discussed earlier.
Pres Obama seems to be ambivalent.
About it.
And I think.
That's not so where did you wait to see a Broadway play last late because I couldn't -- you know what what I thought what.
No that's not -- play that's a book.
I've would you get it to -- so it's Jesus Christ a few minutes and did dabble in Daniel Webster is something that.
His book got called up state by birth certificate.
But I think.
I actually averages go up by the way have you ever had a a street named after you in Santa Barbara your adopted town of Pittsburgh we've -- -- anybody -- -- -- -- you know.
A bit of a dead 1000 kids so maybe had a cold -- get my name -- alone.
I heard about this story evidently there's a clue as laid out there and it turned it over to blows me.
I have not seen -- street but I will tell you missed it must be happily happily happily hey okay well -- it does not say if ethical behavior it is a straight line they shouldn't get velocity Lombard street agent has turned -- one -- does that that's very Australia.
There's a deal about Nancy Pelosi drive in San Francisco number one no right -- interns.

Hey, futilethewinds, is he boring or are you bored?
Interesting that you would take the time out simply to post this... as Tom rightly asks, are you sure you aren't just bored in general? Or is that a boring question? ;)
Oooh - that's a mouthful to answer, friend. I would propose beginning a new discussion with this at the heading, you'll generate more traffic!
Well, if it's a question as to what I like, I'd have to list to list the following:
-Scotch whiskey (the older, the better)
-Xbox (only occasionally)
-Studying/reading/watching lectures
-Steaming hot pizza in a pub
-CBS' "Big Bang Theory" and Discovery channel's "The Colony"
-Silent reflection (I usually grab a Rubik's cube to play with and think about what was in the news on any given day)
-Shooting fashion photography (sans the societal breakdown of our image of women)
-'70s rock (Pink Floyd, Allman Bros, Zeppelin, Neil Young, etc)
Great question - I enjoy finding out things about the people I meet on here that aren't strictly academic.
I don't think I'd ever consider myself interesting or intriguing whatsoever, but I value knowledge of any kind, irrespective of how useless someone else thinks it may be, and I'm perfectly happy with my life.
Alex, rather than answer your questions, I'll comment on the use of words such as "should" and "should not".
A bumper sticker-type remark got my attention; it said "Don't should on yourself."
Does it get your attention?
I believe there is a place for shoulds in life. A relatively peaceful society is based on the concept of the greatest good for all involved. In order to realize this in practice there are things we should do and things we shouldn't do (though there are exceptions to the rule of shouldn't). For example, we should follow the axiom treat others the way you like to be treated. A shouldn't would be you shouldn't kill anyone (but there are exceptions to this rule, such as defending your own life or the lives of loved ones). Religion does not hold the exclusive right to these shoulds and should nots. Morality preceded religion. One doesn't need to have a religion to be moral.
"...there are things we should do and things we shouldn't do...."
In the world I would like to live in, I agree.
In the world I live in, there are things we do and things we don't do.

True Blueberry
Fruit Herbal Blend by Celestial Seasonings
Some tastes are so familiar that just hearing their name brings their flavor to mind – like True Blueberry, whose simple, fruity flavor is best described as 'tasting blue.' The wild blueberries we chose for this blend are very high in antioxidants and have overtones of purple grapes, providing a deeper berry flavor than their farmed cousins. Try it on ice!
Hibiscus, rosehips, orange peel, natural blueberry flavor with other natural flavors (contains soy lecithin), blackberry leaves, wild blueberries and blueberry leaves.

clean hands doctrine
Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
The principle that a party who has acted unethically or in bad faith in relation to a lawsuit will not win the suit or be granted equitable relief by the court. For example, if a contractor is suing a homeowner to recover the price of work he did on the home, his failure to perform the work as specified would leave him with unclean hands.

Christmas decor with antiques (and other stuff you already have)
Decorating for Christmas with antiques comes naturally to Linda Magness, an antique collector and owner of Red Geranium Antiques and Gifts in Grand Forks.
Decorating for Christmas with antiques comes naturally to Linda Magness, an antique collector and owner of Red Geranium Antiques and Gifts in Grand Forks.
She is one of 16 dealers in the Plain & Fancy Antique Mall, 820 S. Washington St., and her space is stuffed with examples of how to use antiques and collectibles in holiday decor, from the everyday to the exquisite. One large room is decorated almost exclusively with white furniture and trees dripping with crystal, sparkly snowflakes and metallics.
Here are some of Magness' decorating ideas.
• Turn your antique china hutch and dishes into a holiday display. For instance, Magness took a white china cupboard filled with white plates and tea cups with gold trim and added sparkling gold and white pinecone ornaments to turn everyday into a holiday.
• If you're looking for accents, think greens, ribbons, baubles and collectibles. Lighting also is important, whether it be strings of lights or candles, and battery-operated devices are now available.
• Artificial greens can be beautiful and versatile. Get the nicest ones for your budget. Don't be afraid to cut them apart. You can put pieces on top of your antique hanging portraits of Grandma and Grandpa, stand them in a vessel with berry branches or lay them on the table as a base for a big pair of candlesticks.
• Use Chritmas-y looking ribbon in many different ways. Magness has wrapped it around large pieces of furniture, chairs and other antiques. It gives the items a gift-wrapped look.
• Get out the china, crystal and silver and fill them with Christmas balls, greens, berries. Just because your dishes are rustic Red Wing or 1950s Pyrex doesn't mean they can't be part of a Christmas display. Fill them with wooden beads, red potholders and that old potato masher with a red handle. Load your Red Wing with pinecones and baubles.
• Include your collections. Magness has a collection of small houses and bank, and during the holidays, she places bottle brush Christmas trees among them.
• Don't forget your antique linens and other pretty pieces of fabric, especially those with holiday colors.
• Tin cookie cutters and costume jewelry aren't off-limits for tree decor. Small tabletop trees especially lend themselves to small but important collections.
• Consider making a "memory tree." It's a good place for family photos and other mementos. When Magness' collection of paper mache Thanksgiving turkeys disintegrated in her basement floodwater in 1997, she knew she couldn't afford to replace them. But, she saved the surviving tiny metal feet and today hangs them and other mementos on a small memory tree at home.
