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.
Overall Experience: I'm not too sure if I would choose this school if I had to again. I generally think that it is a wonderful school to graduate from but the trouble that you can go through to get there can be tough sometimes. I know that it's not suppose to be easy, but it doesn't have to be so difficult. My favorite experience here is meeting so many different people that I have met in the time that I have been here. Also experiencing college football is something that no one will ever forget. Especially experiencing college football here at Clemson. The atmosphere is like no other and the dedication we have as fans is amazing.
C A+F Off-Campus Housing: Sometimes if you don't seek an apartment/house in a reasonable time, it can be very difficult to find some place to live, or at least at the price that you want to pay for it. Most of the off campus housing is pretty convenient in means of the proximity from the school and it being on the public transportation route. Fior a college town I would say that the cost of some of these places are pretty reasonable especially if it comes furnished and all utilities included. Even for those places that don't offer those options the prices are still fairly good. Sometimes parking can be a hassle but it's not really that big of a deal because you still have a place to park by your building for the most part. The school offers an off-campus housing website to help students look for places to stay if they need it.
C A+F Greek Life: Well some Greek life has a huge affect on the social atmosphere of campus because they throw lots of events on campus that some students go to all the time and tend to enjoy. They also throw many service events, fundraisers with great causes, and even great lectures with helpful information for students in the future. Everybody has their own opinions about Greek students and I can't speak for everybody because everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I just view most of them as regular people and that they are really no different from me. Only difference now is that they have some letters and a new group of friends. Not all of our Greeks have housing available to them, but for those that do they have an area on campus called the Quads. There are a few Greek organizations that do have Greek houses that are off campus.
Facilities: Well I'm sure there a tons of things that our school offers to our students, but I wouldn't know half of the programs. Simply because I do not participate in half of them because some of them I know nothing about. The ones I do know about are that our school has programs that offer study halls and tutors to help students. There are also programs to help get in contact with people of the same major(s) that may help you out throughout your school year. There is also an academic center on campus that offers academic coaching, help finding tutors for a class that doesn't already have one, many study rooms, and many other tools to help students gain the most out of their education.
B A+F Facilities: There are many student centers that students can use to study, get some food, or even take a nap if they wanted to and they're very accessible for students no matter the time of night. The library is okay, it's always pretty pack and hard to find somewhere to sit and study or get work done, but overall it is a nice library and offers very many tools to help students with their learning. There is usually something going on like everyday on campus for students to get involved with pretty much anything if they choose to.
B A+F Nightlife: The club/bar scene is always pretty pack and a lot of fun especially if you partake in the drinking. The parties aren't really that great any more in comparison to when I first got to Clemson. The transportation for the night life is pretty cool; the public transportation runs pretty late at night to help students get home, and the cab companies offer their services for pretty reasonable prices.
C A+F Guys & Girls: It's really hard to describe because the campus is so diverse so you see many different things on campus everyday.
A A+F Guys & Girls: The girls here are all dime pieces. They are absolute gems. They are beautiful, friendly, and intelligent. It can actually be overwhelming at times. Some of the best girls in the country here at Clemson.
B A+F Off-Campus Dining: Not too sure about vegan or healthy options, but there is a lot of great variety!
F A+F Parking: Parking is miserable here, and there is a confusing system in place on where you can and can't park. The school makes you move on game weekends and people are getting ticketed and towed all the time.
C A+F Transportation: It's great that there is the free CAT bus system for Clemson and the surrounding areas, but their roots make it difficult to reach certain destinations. It is definitely worth it to have a car while attending school here.
B A+F Scholarships: Clemson is great with giving out financial aid and my transaction went smoothly. I've heard mixed reviews of people's experiences though. Depending on your major, it can be extremely difficult to maintain the required GPA in order to keep a scholarship.
A A+F Athletics: The athletic facilities are incredible. There is everything from the traditional free weights and exercise machines to an enormous climbing wall. All of the equipment is very well maintained.
D A+F Campus Dining: Clemson University dining lacks diversity in both food options and hours of operation. The dining facilities are older and not kept up well.
C A+F Campus Housing: Stay close to friends !
D A+F Parking: Spots are always filled, distance is a huge concern as well
B A+F Nightlife: People are always downtown !!!
B A+F Athletics: Fun to be at the games, the whole student body support athletics here
C A+F Campus Dining: Not enjoyable and sometimes can be annoying based on the options that we have.
C A+F Off-Campus Dining: Enough to to be satisfied with the options.
B A+F Local Atmosphere: Very safe and amusing atmosphere.
B A+F Academics: I am one of few who are special education majors here at Clemson and I get plenty of support.
B A+F Academics: Academics are rigorous here at Clemson and I appreciate my professors.
C A+F Campus Strictness: Campus strictness does not prevent me to enjoy my experience here at Clemson.
B A+F Weather: Doe not affect my experience at all. Love the weather here.

Clemson offers an amazing college experience. Students return for the rest of their lives to see how the campus has changed and to support the Tigers. Although it is located in a small town, the school is big enough that there is never a dull moment, and the location only makes the student body closer to one another. As anyone who has been to Clemson knows, the students' blood here is orange, and the Clemson spirit is contagious for almost anyone who attends.

Top 10 categories for time spent online
By Mark Brush
My colleague Michigan Radio reporter Steve Carmody passed along this study from the Nielsen Company:
State of the Media: The Social Media Report (Q3 2011)
So how are we spending our time online? (hint: you "like" it). From the report:
Americans spend more time on Facebook than they do any other U.S. website.
Here's the top ten:
- 22.5 percent of our online time is spent on social networks and blogs
- 9.8 percent online games
- 7.6 percent e-mail
- 4.5 percent "portals"
- 4.4 percent videos/movies
- 4.0 percent search
- 3.3 percent instant messaging
- 3.2 percent software manufacturing
- 2.9 percent classifieds/auctions
- 2.6 percent on current events and global news
Nielsen reports that Tumblr is an emerging social network nearly tripling its unique U.S. audience over the last year.
Does the Tumblr design look somewhat familiar to you?

thinking about halo 3, know halo 3 is alot longer off and bioshock will be out sooner. other than that can't really stop thinking about it
Good job! http://forums.2kgames.com/forums/ima...ons/icon14.gif
Playing with STALKER, TESIV: SI, C&C3 will make the wait easier.What do you do in the meantime? Any plans? What is the best to stop thinking about it?
i waited so long for stalker and finally i got it
hope it'll shorten the time^^
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. will keep you entertained. If you haven't started yet, GET THE PATCH! It will not work with previous saved games, so if you're already a good way through the game, it's a tough choice to fix some bugs but start over or deal with occasional weirdness and not lose progress.
but the halo 3 beta will be out fairly soon! I'm dripping with anticipation for that one too, also while waiting for bioshock I'm saving cash so I can (hopefully) get the flat panel LCD t.v. I've been waiting oh so long for, and a 360 elite too (not that I really care for the difference, but the premium I play on right now belongs to my older brother) but the T.V. is first on the list since my 30" SD is -really- starting to crap out.
I can't stop thinking about it. Oh well. At least I can lurk these forms, learn new things and pass on the information to others and try to convinse more people to want it as much as me (or just in general). Or, of course, I could try to become an active member too and maybe play a few random games.
^nice first post for you congrats^
This is just like slow torture!-
Gotta love this kind of torture
I cannot wait for Bioshock, Mass Effect, and Halo 3 to come out...AND THERE ALL SO CLOSE TOGETHER!!!! But, I'm trying to shorten it with Condemned...Not that condemned isn't a good game but this is not easy to wait for.
Sooo many good games.
Medal Of Honour: Airborne is coming out at a similar time to BioShock.
The Orange Box will be awesome.
The Darkness should be immense.
But yes, in the meantime, time to runthrough STALKER...again. I love fragging those damn bandits.
I am getting waay too excited for this to release.
what about "the rest of the world" countdown
What about the rest of the world? Pfft. (emphasis more on the "about" in that last phrase, stupid text)
Actually time is going by pretty quick for me, I'm waiting for paychecks so I can pre-order and update my t.v. and buy an elite, there's so much stuff for me to do that 2 and a half months doesn't seem very long at all.
Ahhh the countdown is blocked by Websense. Stupid college, trying to stop us watch countdowns. I wish I was in a place where the artist feared not the censor.
Or I could just wait until I'm home in 30 minutes.
Have to stop watching that clock it is hypnotizing
Why must America have Bioshock three days earlier
Me? Pre-ordering my copy of BioShock, and since that takes no time at all, I am gonna smack zombies around in Willamette till then - that never seems to get old.
I've got a guy in the states forwarding a copy of the special edition to me, but I guess if I want to play it on release day I'll have to get a regular copy to play.
I need a widget like that to torture myself with.
Well, what I am doing in the meantime is selling a house, buying a new house, getting things for the new house, putting up with a stupid realtor, feeling secure with my good realtor, taking the dog to the vet, and working, of course.
But, if you don't have a house to buy or sell, I would suggest looking into cryogenic freezing, just make sure you don't miscalculate and wake up after the release.
yes, someone got the reference. exactly like that. "We got you bioshock, but there are no xbox360's that will work with your imagisphere"
haha i live in europe and i have too wait longer wait a minute oh s***
edit:how did you make it part of your desktop ive tried does it still countdown?
Last edited by biohazzard; 06-13-2007 at 01:45 AM.
I really shouldn't have looked at that.
Knowing the numbers always makes things worse for me.
i really can't wait for this game! i'm ready for the Rapture.
It's kind of like watching water boil. If you don't watch it, it seems to boil faster. If you watch it, it takes ages.
But for some reason, knowing that doesn't stop me from checking it every day...
It comes out a week after my birthday or so. I know what I'll be gettin' for my birthday
54 days...
At least its not as long as it was before. Damn, seems like forever ago when I firts heard about this game. The Darkness and Call of Juarez (first western game for me ever, and it's great, ) will keep me busy till then with Darkness already shaping up to be one of the finest FPS's ever.
Who resurrected this thread anyway?

Anchorage Weather
Alaskans Susceptible to Vitamin D DeficiencyMedical Experts Suggest Foods to Prevent DeficiencyANCHORAGE - Anchorage welcomed a healthy dose of sunshine, Wednesday, but as Alaska's daylight hours are dwindling daily, it is difficult to keep up on your vitamin D dosage during the winter months. According to medical experts, a deficiency can occur for a number of reasons, but the most common being limited exposure to sunlight, which Alaskans are now facing with winter on the way. But there are potential health risks associated with a vitamin D deficiency. Some research suggests it could play a role in the prevention and treatment of a number of different conditions including type 1 and 2 diabetes, hypertension, and multiple sclerosis. Symptoms of deficiency include bone pain and muscle weakness, however for many, doctors say the clues can be very subtle. Vitamin D, nicknamed the "sunshine vitamin" is essential for maintaining strong bones because the vitamin helps the body use calcium from your diet, according to medical experts. Some believe that tanning can increase your levels, but doctors say that comes at a price. Dr. Ehrnstrom suggests trying to get your daily dose of vitamin D through food. "Eating more things like salmon, shitaki mushrooms, or taking a supplement are better ways of getting the vitamin D you need." You have indicated this comment should be removed.said on Saturday, Oct 13 at 2:13 PM 1 tsp of cod liver oil runs 400-1000 IU of Vitamin D, Fresh, wild (not farmed) salmon runs 600 to 1000 IU of Vitamin D, Salmon (farmed) runs 100 to 250 IU of Vitamin D, Fortified milk or OJ is about 100 IU of Vitamin D. None of these are adequate amounts to sustain a healthy blood level of Vitamin D. I know, my level went from 11 ng/ml to a 75 ng/ml in just 2 months in the controlled, safe, environment of a tanning salon. UVB exposure is around 10,000 to 20,000 IU of Vitamin D. I tan for 15 minutes once a week and I have an above average Vitamin D blood level that I could not get from dietary sources. Add a commentMost Popular |

To reiterate what others have already said, the file is very coarse. The size is good and the handle is nice, but it does leave quite a lot of work as far as crowning and polishing goes.
I wish this could be made with HIGH CARBON Black Steel, so's it will last a bit longer. This would be great!
I have a 6in. The handle gives good control but I feel that it removes too much material. Be careful and use only little pressure. On a recent project, I started with this file but I finished the levelling with a med-fine diamond sharpening stone (approx 2x6) which gave me much more control. If I were you, I would invest in a general purpose diamond sharpening stone - more expensive but more versatile and easier to use.
Removes material fast, but I found it leaves a VERY rough finish. But not so much of a problem if you are using a sand paper fret leveller afterwards.
My prefered file for fret jobs, tested all other similar files on ebay; no one matches the quality of that file. I also uses a lot the baby size (3"), that I found useful for partial refretting / repair jobs.
The 6" fret leveler is an awesome, well constructed beautiful feeling tool. Top marks Stewmac!
Lawn mower blade from hardware store cut better for me. A lot to pay for a wood handle.
Did my very first fret level with this and it turned out great. Easy to use.
I purchased the 6" file, it was easy to use and worked great. After crowning the frets the bass sounds great with no buzz. Just be careful not to take to much off when filing.
This is a very easy file to use. It has a great grip, is comfortable, has no sharp edges in the wrong places, cuts just enough and not too fast. Highly recommended. I used this file to knock down the exposed edges of a new Am Std Strat. Then I cleaned them up with a fret dressing file and finished with a series of abrasive pads. All from Stew Mac and it turned out much better than the factory fretjob!

text: Home Culture Behind the NAACP's Marriage-Equality Move Speaking to the press and The Root, the group's leaders dispelled misconceptions about their stance. By: Edmund Newton Posted: May 21 2012 4:30 PM 0 AFP/Getty Images (The Root) -- Leaders of the NAACP said on Monday that their affirmation of marriage equality -- implicitly supporting widespread efforts to make same-sex marriages legal -- was a response to political groups who have been using the issue of same-sex marriage as a "wedge issue." Benjamin Todd Jealous, president of the 103-year-old civil rights organization, and Roslyn M. Brock, its chairman, both said that the NAACP's national board had been driven to action not by President Obama's recent comments in support of same-sex marriage but by attempts from political conservatives to use gay marriage to rouse conservative voters. The press conference was held at the organization's national headquarters in Baltimore. Jealous said that the NAACP was concerned by the spread to "an ever-increasing number of states" of attempts to restrict marriage equality. He mentioned in particular Proposition 8, banning same-sex marriage in California, which is currently being reviewed by the U.S. Supreme Court, as well as similar measures in North Carolina and Maryland. Jealous also expressed his concern about how "members of Congress have taken again to using budget votes and other tricks to restrict marriage equality." Jealous was at times visibly moved as he spoke about the issue. At one point during his remarks he paused, saying that he felt a personal connection with the cause of marriage equality. "My parents' own marriage was against the law at the time," he said, explaining that interracial marriage was forbidden in Maryland in 1966, when his father, Fred Jealous, a white counselor from Maine, married Ann Todd, a black marriage-and-family therapist from Baltimore. "They had to travel to Washington in order to get married," he told The Root. "The procession back to Baltimore for a party afterward was seen by some as a funeral procession because of all the cars." Jealous also said that marriage equality is "one of the key issues of our day." Laying out the NAACP's guiding principles of political, educational, social and economic equality for all people, and challenging discrimination under the law, Brock said that the endorsement of marriage equality is about the right to be treated equally in the eyes of government. In measured words, however, neither Brock nor the organization's official statement used the phrase "same-sex marriage"; rather, they stuck to the general principle of "marriage equality." Asked about the vote to approve the statement on Saturday at the board's quarterly meeting in Miami, Jealous denied reports that there had been two "nays" in a voice vote by some 60 members of the board, reflecting resistance by some representatives of black churches to endorsing gay marriages. "That would be a lie," he said. One of the three board members who attended the press conference with Brock and Jealous was Bishop William Graves, from a Christian Methodist Episcopal church in Memphis, Tenn. Graves declined to answer questions after the press conference. But Donald Cash of Maryland, another board member at the presser, said that he was proud to be representing an organization that "practices what it preaches." He added, "A lot of organizations talk the talk, but they don't walk the walk." Cash confirmed Jealous' and Brock's accounts of a civil rights organization driven by a commitment to equality rather than political expediency. He said that the issue was not on the agenda of the board meeting on Saturday but "just came up" because of some members' concern about attempts to use anti-gay sentiment to rev up voter support.

OTTAWA - Jim Flaherty says he is concerned about the impact on Canadian exporters from the latest budget battle in Washington, and appealed to U.S. lawmakers to bring to an end the drumbeat of confidence-sapping fiscal crises.
The finance minister told reporters Friday he believes the so-called sequestration crisis — involving about $85 billion in spending cuts — will be a tempest in a teapot in terms of U.S. economy.
But the potential for tie-ups at the Canada-U.S. border if guards are affected could slow trade routes between the two countries and have an impact on Canada's economy, he said.
"I do know the size of the U.S. economy, I know the size of our trading relationship," he explained.
"It concerns me a great deal to hear some of the speculation about border delays because we have the largest trading partner(ship) in the world, and a lot of the trade moves by border crossings on land."
Flaherty said he could not put a hard figure on the potential loss to trade, but said Canadian and U.S. policy-makers will need to keep any disruptions at a minimum.
U.S. homeland security chief Janet Napolitano projects the cuts could affect the equivalent of about 5,000 border patrol agent positions, many on the Canada-U.S. border. As well, the equivalent of 2,750 inspectors is on the chopping block.
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency estimates the cuts could result in waits for as long as five hours at larger ports of entry, most of them in Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia.
The Canadian Council of Chief Executives and the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters group both warn about repercussions to trade.
In a memo sent to its members this weekend, the CME noted there's no evidence that any border contingency plan has been worked out between the U.S. and Canada.
Flaherty appeared more frustrated with the ongoing political squabbling over budget issues in the U.S., mostly due to the inability of Democratic and Republican lawmakers to come to an agreement on a wide array of issues, from taxes to debt limits to spending.
Few regard the current impasse to be on a level with December's so-called fiscal cliff crisis, which had the potential to shave about four percentage points from U.S. growth and was averted literally in the final hours. By contract, sequestration is estimated to trim only 0.4 percentage points from the world's largest economy, a relative trifle.
But economists say the succession of crises, and doubts about if and how they will be resolved, has contributed to growing uncertainty among business and consumers, and damaged the recovery. America's barely visible 0.1 percentage growth rate in the last three months of 2012 was mostly blamed on risk posed by the fiscal cliff issue.
"It is regrettable ... that the U.S. continues to move from crisis to crisis in fiscal terms," Flaherty said.
"I'm not blaming anybody except everybody who is responsible for developing a medium-term plan in the largest economy in the world, because it effects all of us in the world, including Canada."
Still, Flaherty said he still regards Europe as the biggest threat to the global outlook, not the U.S.
Analysts said Friday that Canada's disappointing 0.6 per cent growth rate, as reported by Statistics Canada, was also at least partially attributable to the climate of uncertainty posed by the fiscal cliff battle. They note that most of the weakness came from a drawdown in stockpiled inventories, suggesting firms were concerned about future sales should the U.S. economy take a hit.

Eating in New Zealand -- South Island
Posted 05 April 2003 - 02:20 PM
Where should I dine?
Posted 28 April 2003 - 01:15 AM
A few recommendations; all within walking/short taxi ride distance of central city would include:
Cafe Roma (Oxford Terrace)
Honeypot (Lichfield Street)
Bohemian Cafe (Cambridge Terrace, I think)
If you are going to the Arts Centre (old University) then either Le Cafe or Le Bon Bolli would be good options. (We look forward to our new art gallery opening on May 10 which is right next to the Arts Centre.)
The 'Strip' is a collection of eateries on Oxford Terrace offering a variety of menu styles. (I would suggest better for lunches than dinner)
'Simos' (Cashel Mall just down from Ballantynes) has recently opened. Excellent Morroccon food. Say Hi to 'Simo' for me.
'JDV' (Aikmens Road) Very interesting dishes, excellent combinations of flavours.
'Tiffany's'. (Cnr Durham St Sth) They will really look after you; Excellent service and interesting dishes.
Hope this is some help ......... would be interested to hear about your experiences down here.
Posted 13 March 2004 - 10:01 PM
I was hoping that any Kiwis out there could give some advice on what are the best culinary products to look for and where to find them. What are the great bargains? Also, what items are unavailable that we might commonly have in the US?
We are really excited about this and I am just trying to be mentally prepared for what I may find in the markets.

Posted 14 March 2004 - 05:00 AM
You will want to make an extensive study of Bluff oysters! Don't miss the toheroa (a dark-fleshed shellfish) season - though sometimes the supply is not enough for the season to open at all. Other seafoods from elsewhere in NZ are scallops, smoked eel (and many other smoked fish), and green-lipped mussels, which NZers eat by the sackful.
Also take your sweaters, your long undies, and your raincoat...New Zealand houses are usually not centrally heated, and Invercargill has plenty of old-fashioned houses.
The southern and western part of the South Island has a cool, wet climate. That means drizzle year round...but spectacularly lush green farmland on the limestone areas round Invercargill, and thick bush on the steep mountains that run down to the fjords on the west coast.
Invercargill is also not too far from Te Anau, which offers some of NZ's best skiing -- enough different slopes that the notoriously changeable weather rarely makes all slopes unskiable. (Island weather means that moist marine air can make snow icy very quickly).
From Invercargill, you might want to go to Stewart Island. Dunedin and Invercargill are (surprise!) very Scots in their heritage, but where they are Scotty, the Stewart Island population is just plain dotty.
Invercargill is not rich, because every now and then a government thinks they'll move a few unemployed people down there and see if they feel like working at the aluminum smelter or on the fishing boats...but behind all that is a prosperous farming community, so while isolated, it is not dead....but get a car if you can, because you will need your own rugged transport to enjoy life there. Second hand cars are notoriously expensive in NZ, but you can also resell a car of any age! A car will enable you to visit the coast, check out penguins, seals, fossils...visit inland goldmining areas...go skiing...)
Food....the farming industy there is mainly sheep and some of the biggest abattoirs and freezing works in NZ are there...meat is cheap and of good quality (I had the misfortune to interpret for a party visiting all NZ's abattoirs once...I remember every one of them!). Most people eat strictly Brit-style meat and 2 veg for dinner. However, South Island cheese is of better average quality than in the North Island....
Food is cheap in NZ, but manufactured products are not. If you plan to cook, you might want to take a few favorite kitchen items with you...not electrical equipment, of course, as NZ uses 240v supply.
Posted 15 March 2004 - 02:39 AM
But anyway ... I think you will grow to appreciate the 'uniqueness' of any one of those locations.
As far as our food goes I would suggest to Helen that we have matured in the culinary sense over the past number of years and the 'meat and two veg' approach is the reserve of the terminally culinarily challenged. Immigration has added to our multi-cultural mix of restaurants and ingredients available. I can't think of anything that you would not be able to source if you yearn for the tastes of 'home'.
You can look forward to:
Bluff Oysters
Nelson Scallops
Cervena (farm raised venison)
Lamb (can't remember the last time I saw 'Mutton')
Excellent farmed Salmon
Excellent cheeses
Great stone fruit (2 hours north of Invercargill)
Quality vegetables (including organic produce)
The list goes on ....
Festivals ... you just missed the Wild Foods Festival in Hokitika (just south of Greymouth on the West Coast) and the Marlborough Wine and Food Festival... coming up are the Organic Food Festival in Oamaru, the Bluff Oyster Festival and numerous other food and wine related events through the year all around the country.
If you choose Invercargill, you are within 2 hours of some of the best Pinot Noir producers in the world. You will also be in the heart of 'Speights' country .... "Good on ya mate"
You could even grow to love Marmite, Hokey Pokey, Lamingtons, ANZAC biscuits, Pavlova, Scones, Pikelets, Pies, Fish n Chips on Friday nights, Pineapple Lumps, Feijoas, Pumpkin as a vegetable and not in a pie, Hangis, Barbies, Cribs, Kina, Paua, Belgium, Tea and all of those other little 'Kiwi' foodie bits 'n pieces that make us 'unique'.
I could go on and on ......
We look forward to having you stay with us down here .... and hey .... we've even gone and moved the bathrooms inside them houses now and installed some o dem new fangled electric stoves
Posted 15 March 2004 - 06:54 PM
I don't think that meat and 2 veg is a bad thing, not in a cool-climate agricultural society. The tourist triangle of Christchurch, Queenstown, and Te Anau (not to mention Nelson) has definitely grown up over the past 15 years, and I'm sure the experienced and innovative chefs in those areas (especially with the smaller, more exclusive lodges that started to appear in the 80s) have raised the game in other smaller towns too. It's a long time ago now, but negotiating the season's menus for tourists doing the main drag, and organizing business groups' events in smaller towns, I felt that rural South Island food WAS different from urban North Island food. Definitely not worse.
That was a yummy list of tummy-rumbling memories from Kiwi! Speight's beer! Mmmm! Though I don't care for the US-influenced lighter Japanese beers (Sapporo for me, thank you!), I know that some Americans find NZ beers too sweet and full. Just keep drinking...the smaller breweries don't just make good beer, these days they make an incredible range of styles. As for wine - definitely the best are the best, but they can be hard to get, even in NZ. The average daily drop might be more astringent than you are used to. When looking for cheaper wine, I find myself going for the more flavorful Aust/NZ wines and taking the tannin that goes with them, because the equivalent budget European wines taste thin and metallic to me...obviously just what I've got used to.
Put it this way -- in 2 months in NZ, I NEVER get to taste all the wines and beers that attract my interest.
Another personal southern favorite -- organic, whole-grain rolled oats! When our supplies of NZ oats and honey run out, the whole family starts eyeing the airline timetables...
Greymouth: still had a post-gold, post-coal, post-railroad era feel about it when I was last there. It sits below the Alps, on the most exposed part of the wild west coast, battered by the coldest seas, ready to take all the rain that the winds dump there before crossing the Alps...the obvious choice of location for that nice little murder movie, Bad Blood! It's beautiful, on its own terms -- I have clearer visual memories of the scenery of that area than of Invercargill or Wanganui. I believe Perfect Strangers was shot on the west coast too, but I have not seen it yet. Greymouth people pride themselves on being different and plainspoken, but if it all gets too different, the Tranz Alpine railroad will take you to Christchurch, and a solid half-day's drive will get you to Nelson -- a beautiful, sheltered area full of seafood, wine, fruit, art, music (hoping to get to the wooden flute festival there one day...), and full of people on jaunts from Wellington or Christchurch.
Wanganui...yet another spot on my All-Abattoirs Tour. Warmer currents and northern location mean it is of course much warmer than the South Island. The gardens and forest indicate how much more sheltered it is than the exposed west coast. Behind Wanganui, the hilly farms are still quite rough - check out another gloomy little movie, Vigil, to see the half-cleared limestone hill farms. The Wanganui River makes it a beautiful area. You will not see much of Maori culture in the south and west of the South Island, but Wanganui has always had a strong Maori community and my hazy memory tells me that the museum there had a very fine collection of Maori things.
Culturally, it reminded me pretty much of other smaller North Island towns -- being off the tourist track, it didn't (then, anyway) have the same class of food or service as smaller South Island towns. I have a friend who returns to his Wanganui farm religiously every year, and I think you would find a stable but open community there.
On the other hand, it's not even 3 hours' drive to Wellington, which is a very diverse city, and less than half that to Palmerston North, which Kiwis love to sneer at, because it is a flat, inland city - but it is also a university town with plenty of interesting people. Also not too far to North Island skiing.
The area south of Wanganui is a flatter, more agriculturally developed and diverse area, sure to provide you with plenty of eatables to choose from, but my information there is way out of date!
I know a Japanese to English sign language interpreter in New Zealand...there must be people in NZ who know American sign language, because of the conference business. In Japan a few years back, it was cool for teenagers to learn sign language as a secret language for in-class gossip!
I don't know which to recommend -- you can guess at the differences when you know that (VERY roughly) about one third of NZ's population live around Auckland, one third live in the rest of the North Island, and the remaining third live in the considerably larger South Island. Geologically, the North Island is much more volcanic, younger, with some limestone uplift. The South Island is pretty much a big hunk of greywacke booted violently up from below the seabed. That makes for two surprisingly different landscapes.
I'm from South Auckland -- what was once a staid rural dairying area supplying the city; and is now an area of light industry, public housing projects, and home to most of the area's Polynesian immigrants, interspersed with people looking for the cheaper end of the seaside suburbs. I don't miss the old ways -- I LIKE singing Christmas carols in Samoan, Cook Island Maori, Niuean, and English! (After all, I'm a translator.) I like it that church suppers include Samoan chop suey, Niuean fish salad...and cucumber sandwiches! I like being able to buy Indian snake beans, drinking coconuts, and local honey all at the corner shop. My local shopping center has more people splurging on Chinese take-out with their unemployment benefit than readers of Cuisine magazine (which really IS an excellent mag)...it's true that I'd have to go further afield to buy more upmarket ingredients, but good food of one kind or another is one thing that is always to be found in NZ, especially if you are willing to cook it yourself.
Posted 16 March 2004 - 07:56 PM
Bail out of Invercargil and gets some relative warmth and sunshine up North.
from an oz who goes to NZ often.
Edited by episyd, 16 March 2004 - 08:12 PM.
Posted 20 March 2004 - 04:52 AM
I'd have to agree with episyd that Wanganui would be the safest choice...but I guess you knew that. The thing that would likely surprise you is not so much the cold winters and cool summers, but the rainy winters -- makes winter seem much more miserable than the temperatures suggest, and the west and southwest of the South Island have particularly high rainfall, even for NZ. In Wanganui, you wouldn't need Canadian-level overcoats (except for southbound holidays), but you would need warmer everyday clothes than you imagine. Also, NZ has windy island weather, so even summer days can have a chilly breeze (but maybe I feel it more these days coming from Japan's sweltering summers).
You probably knew most of the remaining food terms anyway but...
Scones...like southern US biscuits, UK scones
Pikelets...a small griddle cake, bit thicker/stiffer than a pancake, definitely not as thick and big as a hotcake. Favorite starter project for kids learning to cook. Often served cold and buttered...
Pineapple Lumps....gerkkkk, can't see the attraction myself. Lumps of chewy pineapple flavored candy (smell reminds me of unwashed kitchen cloths...) coated in chocolate. Also Chocolate Fish, Fantails, Jaffas, Curiously Strong Peppermints...
Feijoas....a subtropical fruit which has become popular in NZ over the past several generations, has dark green fruits with a creamy white highly scented sweet-sour flesh, slightly pineappley scent. Originally south american, as is tamarillo, a very sharp-flavored deep red oval fruit (has many seeds, often unpopular with kids, but packs plenty of punch!). My kids have never tasted these, because we only go to NZ in winter on cheap airfares!
Hangis....much like Hawaiian style luau. Last time I tried to dig one in my back garden here in Japan I hit a gas pipe...
Cribs...South Island dialect for a small and simple holiday cottage, in the North Island usually called a bach.
Kina....sea eggs, sea urchins, usually eaten raw
Paua...a dark fleshed univalve, chewy, so usually minced into soups, fritters etc.
Belgium...??? Could Kiwi fill you in on this?
Survey of kids: they look forward to fat British style fresh sausages, flounder panfried for breakfast, wacky icecream flavors, lamb chops...and gravy made from a packet!!

The NZ Herald-restaurants
Posted 21 January 2005 - 04:01 PM
I didn't think about taking notes or getting menus from anywhere, so I can't provide a huge amount of detail.
White, Auckland (New Year's Eve) : New Year's eve was a set menu that probably wasn't worth the money. Service was fairly good, but didn't stand out. The progression on the menu was strange, with fairly hearty-sounding meat dishes for every course, along with fairly delicate fish preparations. It seemed like it would be hard to go back to fish once you started with the meat, so I went primarily with the fish choices. A tuna appetizer was excellent quality fish and a fairly nice preparation, although it had ingredients that neither my girlfriend nor I particularly cared for (avocado for me and dill for her). Crab tortellini was excellent--one of the standout dishes of the trip. Our beef main was quite boring. Dessert of summer strawberries and shortbread was good, but neither the strawberries nor the shortbread seemed very exceptional. Overall, a bit of a disappointment, but it may have been due to the nature of the evening.
MacFarlanes, Inglewood, Taranaki: Okay, a bit out of the way but really quite good. One of the few places that we really found ourselves wishing we could go back to. We only had lunch, which was a lot of standard cafe choices (although executed to perfection with high quality choices), but the dinner menu looks interesting. Emphasis on local produce. Good place, and not expensive. Definitely worth checking out if you're in Taranaki.
Herzog, near Blenheim: The best meal of our trip and an excellent restaurant by any standard. Aperitifs and tasty amuses in their lounge. Dinner in a lovely main room with an incredible view that is largely wasted at night--they do serve lunch on Sundays. Unfortunately, the only wines they serve by the glass are produced at the Herzog vineyards, but these were all quite good and made a nice pairing to our 5 course menu. (The by-the-bottle list is quite comprehensive and worldwide in scope.) Service was excellent throughout.
Gibb's (at Cairnbrae vineyard), near Blenheim: Another quality meal, although without quite the sophistication of the meal at Herzog. Service also quite good.
Twelve Trees (at Alan Scott vineyards), near Blenheim: Ate lunch here. Service somewhat inattentive, and the setup doesn't allow you to take in quite as much of the scenery as you might hope you could. Food was fairly good: about what I'd expect from lunch at a winery restaurant.
River Run, Wanaka: I think you have to stay here to eat here (do stay here if you are going to be in the area--it's great; perhaps the best place we stayed), although they might let you eat if you weren't and asked nicely enough. This isn't a restaurant in the traditional sense; more like a dinner party that you can buy your way into. Communal seating in the dining room; the people serving you may sit down and eat with you if the table's not full. Very very good food--second best on our trip (after Herzog's). Well selected, but short wine list. We had really beautiful scallops, with roe still attached--I've never seen that before, but it added a lot of flavor, and a leg of duck. Both were very good--slightly spicy sauce with the scallops was exceptionally good.
Waitiri Creek Winery, Gibbston Valley: Better than average winery lunch. The menu is short but interesting. Service isn't great because the servers do double duty in the tasting room. It's lovely and you can sit outside.
Blanket Bay, Glenorchy: You definitely have to stay here to eat here, and it's very very expensive. The food certainly isn't the reason you'd pay for the experience. Although the dining room is quite lovely (with the typical Blanket Bay astonishing view) and the service was very good, the food was only good. Nothing wrong with it, but it would probably fit in fine with a one star restaurant in New York. (As foodies, this may be part of the reason why we enjoyed River Run more than Blanket Bay, especially coupled with the large difference in price). 5 course menus. Soup, salad, starter, main, dessert. The salads were boring. The tomato soup the first night was not a whole lot more complex than Campbell's. Starters and mains were generally better, but at NZ $1300 a night (for the cheap rooms) it seems like this place should do better. They did have a strong (and reasonably priced) wine list. One night we had a bottle of Felton Road Block 3 Pinot Noir for $120. In the few other places we saw it, it was generally $150 or more.
Saffron, Arrowtown: Just had lunch here. It was quite good. Fairly good wine list. A lot of variety on the menu, from Medeteranean influences to Asian. Everything we tried was quite good, including the pad thai that my girlfriend ordered because she was craving ethnic food. Should have come back for dinner.
Wai, Queenstown: Their speciality was supposed to be seafood, but there didn't seem to be a huge amount of seafood selection on the menu, and nothing that appealed to me. Maybe that was my problem. Once again, there was nothing really wrong with the food, but it wasn't particularly good either. Also a remarkably sparse wine list for a place that advertises itself as a wine bar plus restaurant. (Admittedly, the range by the glass was fairly good.) This place came highly recommended and we looked at a lot of menus before settling on it. Based on our meal here and some other feedback, I'd guess that the best food in Queenstown is in Arrowtown at Saffron.
Winne Bago's, Queenstown: Not very good pizza. They have a lot of topping choices, though.
Posted 25 March 2009 - 02:16 PM
Places to eat?
Is it worth the drive to Kaikoura to get mussels?
Where in Dunedin? Breakfast? Lunch or dinner?
Where anywhere on the island! :)
We havent an itinerary yet, but its nice to know where the good eats are (at all price levels). It helps with the planning!
Posted 08 April 2009 - 06:20 AM
Mussels are probably better in Nelson or even Picton, but Kaikoura is the place for NZ crayfish (koura). Catching rather than eating is the main local activity,it's a one-horse town, but there are eateries.
The trip south from Picton/Blenheim would take you past the Saltmaking at Lake Grassmere.
Blenheim of course has plenty of wineries, and I am sure the area is very different from when I went through it with a Japanese TV crew, but the landscape is breathtaking, if monotonous. The land gets drier as you head out of the hills and through the plains to Christchurch, so you have the strangely opaque and chilly turquoise sea, and then the harsh grays and golds of the land leading through a haze to the purple of the mountains.
The west coast can be forbidding too, but it's wet and louring rather than austere and dry.
Dunedin - the best thing I ate there was wild game, especially venison (before it was farmed much), but of course, it's also a place to eat lamb cooked with due respect.
If it's cold enough, you might want to ask about outdoor curling and ice-skating in inland towns such as Alexandra and Balclutha. Although Queenstown is more fashionable, skiing may be better elsewhere, and small towns like Te Anau are good bases for fishing. The Red Cliff cafe in Te Anau has a good reputation. This site gives a fair idea of the type of produce to look out for in the southern South Island.
Posted 27 August 2009 - 01:38 PM
We drove down the edge of the world, in at Haast, and eventually to Queenstown, Invercargill, Te Anau, Dunedin and Christchurch.
Gonna have to look up names and fix this post.
Breakfast at Dirty Mary's in Westport - huge enormous portions, interesting combinations. A small area with a few toys made the child happy.
Stopped in small town of _____ by the Fox Glacier for lunch at _________. Salad, soup, sandwich, bowl of chips. All were very good.
Had a good Pavlova in Queenstown.
Pizza in Invercargill at _________________. We were served by the owner - a young man quite thrilled to have his own restaurant. We enjoyed the meal & the gelato for dessert. Not great pizza, but a pleasant meal of good pizza with a very thin cracker-crispy crust.
We missed the Red Cliff in Te Anau :(. Our schedule was so tight we snarfed down tomato soup and cheese sandwiches in our motel room between returning from Milford and heading out to the glowworm cave.
Best lunch of the trip was at ____________ on the way from Invercargill to Dunedin. Again, an area with toys (and a friendly cat) improved the place greatly for the child.
Cadbury's for breakfast in Dunedin - took the first tour of the day. :)
(tho I like the other brand, _______________, better).
Sushi for lunch - cheap sushi is different from our local cheap sushi. For example, teriyaki chicken does not make it into california cheap sushi. It was interesting. I love the soy sauce fish. We dont get those either.
We wanted to have a proper sushi meal at some point, but that wasnt working out for the smallest member of the party. So be it. Next trip.
Indian take-out for dinner - we're not sure whether we liked the meal or the containers better. They may be our longest lasting souvenirs of this trip!
Along the road were many chicken places - some better than others, but none that we tried were bad.
In Christchurch, there was a street market, with attendant food stalls. German sausages, crepes, mini-pizzas built on flour tortillas as crust.
All tasted good. The child celebrated her birthday by eating most of my crepe suzette as well as her maple syrup crepe.
More tasty indian take-away for dinner, more great containers. This was Arjee Bhajee in Christchurch.
Tea at ________ near Auckland - our last formal meal of the trip. A good price and a decent cuppa in a lovely location.
What airport food? There's airport food? I dont think so. There's stuff you can put in your mouth to make your empty stomach stop hurting, but food? No. Its as bad as LAX.

Can anyone help here. We have two to three nights in each city. During the day we are on a wine tour with lunch provided at wineries.
Posted 31 January 2011 - 05:14 PM
Your wine tour may take in Alan Scott's and Hunter's in Blenheim, but if not they're both reliable. I don't think Alan Scott is open for dinner (he's great for lunch), but Hunter's is. We had a very nice evening there about three weeks ago - the elderly cat is very friendly! In the centre of Blenheim, try Raupo - good cafe-style food beside the river. I don't recommend Bacchus; its decor and food seem slightly stuck in the 70s. Nothing really wrong with it, but you can do better. That's the extent of my recent dining experience in Blenheim, but since the wine industry moved in the number of cafes and restaurants has blossomed. Top of the scale is Herzog, but I don't have personal experience of it. One day.
In Wellywood you have a huge choice. Top of my personal list is Martin Bosley's. Until last week I would have recommended the White House, but we weren't as happy with it last time as we have been before. If you're anywhere near the airport, the suburb of Miramar has two brilliant cafe/restaurants, The Larder and Cafe Polo, both open for lunch and dinner (and probably breakfast!). If you like that sort of thing you might find yourself eating beside film industry types from Peter Jackson's nearby production empire. There's another brilliant suburban restaurant, Elements, not far away in Lyall Bay.
In the city (bearing in mind the difference between 'at the airport' and 'in the city' is about 10 minutes), Featherston Street has a row of pubs - Irish and Belgian prodominate. My personal favourite is D4, upstairs on the corner of Featherston and Brandon Sts. One block north (towards the railway station) you'll find Arbitrageur, where we've had some very good dinners. And nearby on the waterfront is the newly-opened Foxglove which, depending on which part of the building you're in, is a restaurant with fantastic food, a pub, or a night club.
Courtenay Place is considered the 'entertainment district', but I tend to avoid it - I'm not 20 any more! But it has many more pubs, restaurants and clubs.
Just up the road, but much quieter, is Ambeli, which I heartily recommend. A tip: let the young owner Shae choose your wines for you. I've never had better food matches.
I could go on (many say I do!) but you may find this link helpful. Send me a PM if you have any specific questions. And enjoy your trip.

Thank you so much for your recommendations!! I am looking forward to checking them out. I had found a couple of them in my research.... Ambeli sounds great. We are having one of our group lunches at Herzog.

For dinner, Gibbs is good; but it is out of town so you will need a designated driver or a group to share the (not small) taxi fare.
In Blenheim, I'd recommend a relatively new opening, "The Secret Garden" on Maxwell Road. I really wouldn't bother with Raupo; both the food and the service are quite bizarre and it can be a lottery as to whether they are open in the evenings or not.
Bamboo Garden is OK for Chinese/Thai/Japanese food, if you are looking for a change.
If you are staying in Renwick, then the "Cork and Keg" does good pub grub.
Unfortunately (as with many wine regions) there are few choices of decent places to eat; with the best meals being served in people's homes.

They may be able to arrange alternative premises, but I wouldn't count on them being up and running any time soon. Pity - I didn't know about them, but the reviews look good.

While Gibbs did have a fire and their premises are currently not serviceable, I've been led to believe that they've been offered the use of the kitchens at Cloudy Bay and Wairau River so they will be cooking; just not in the usual spot.

I have preformed multiple tests and now have a list of all the calculated P-Values (~30K^2 values). I have a reason to believe my tests are somehow dependent.
I would like to analyze the results and correct the p-values.
Unfortunately, I only have very basic knowledge in statistics. From the little I managed to gather, I think the Benjamini Hochberg method for FDR control should be suitable for my needs.
My questions are:
Am I right?
If so, I'd like to implement a code that preforms this calculation. Is the following code correct: http://www.augix.com/wiki/index.php/Benjamini_and_Hochberg_FDR_control and does it calculate the cutoff for my case?

PHILADELPHIA -- Deafening protests forced Philadelphia's mayor to abandon his annual budget
address in the middle of his speech.
Mayor Michael Nutter left City Council chambers today amid chants from union members angry
about the lack of contracts. They shouted, blew whistles and stomped their feet to drown out his
Three of the city's four biggest unions have been without contracts since 2009. Last month,
Nutter petitioned the state Supreme Court to intervene in the stalemate with District Council 33,
which represents thousands of blue-collar municipal workers.
Nutter resumed his speech about an hour later elsewhere in City Hall as demonstrators
protested outside the building.
The Democratic mayor introduced the city's nearly $3.8 billion budget for the next fiscal
year. He also addressed a revamped property-assessment system.

The Loyola Maroon Big Mouth, of Loyola, einoe 1923 Anniversary Vol. XLI Loyola University, New Orleans, La., Thursday, April 1, 1965 No. 20 A&S Losing Money; Shut-Down Announced The Rev. Edward A. Foil, S.J., university vice-president, announced Wednesday the closing of the college of arts and sciences. Before a special conference of the New Orleans' press, the sociable, even-tempered Dean said that financial difficulties were the reason for the decision. "We're making only $250 per student each semester," the Jesuit explained, "and that's not enough profit for any business." Foil later said that his order, the Society of Jesus, makes an assured 40 per cent profit on their two other New Orleans' holdings, WWL and the Pere Marquette building, and that the good Fathers eventually plan to close the university and invest in other city property. "There isn't any money in education," Father Foil added smiling. AFTER SPEAKING to the prses, Father Foil returned to Loyola to make the announcement to the arts and science faculty. During a question and answer session after the brief statement, Father admitted that the college had been only provisionally approved since August, and that the decision to close it had been made last week by the Very Rev. Andrew C. Smiser, S.J., president, who was unavailable for comment. Credits earned in A&S after Sept. 1964 will not be accepted by other colleges, the Dean said, but benevolently added that an under-the-table deal was being negotiated with Red River junior college whereby all but Loyola's required 30 hours of theology and philosophy will be accepted if students wish to transfer. WHEN ASKED why the students weren't told of this in September, Father Foil nobly said, "Would you wish to be like unto rats and desert a sinking ship," whereupon the entire assembly rose, hissing, and left the room. Before a meeting of the facultyfaculty council last night, Father Foil said that in order to maintain Loyola's status as a university, a new college will have to be organized. He remarked that the department of languages was being considered, and that he was in the process of recruiting a dean from Tulane's graduate school. The council then passed a motion to change the name of Loyola university to Loyola College, Inc. Speech Profs Are "Firebugs" Three Loyola professors, Scranton Mouton, Donald Brady and Leo Zinser, were arrested by police Monday in connection with the fire in the speech offices in Marquette hall, March 23. Lt. Joseph P. Schnelly, a student in Loyola's evening division course in criminology was the arresting officer. "We've been working on this case for some time now and are convinced that we'll have no trouble convicting these firebugs. It's an open and shut case." "We were framed," cried Mouton. The Very Rev. Andrew C. Smith, S.J., Loyola president, was shocked at the incident. "I know these gentlemen wanted to have their offices remodeled but I didn't know it was that urgent. I guess they figured the only way we would negotiate the necessary funds was if it was absolutely impossible for them to carry on in their current offices." News Flash Twelre Biever Hall resident* were scalded to death early this morning as they showered in preparation for their morning classes. Pete Carallo, dorm manager, noted, "Somebody goofed!" Happy Henry Asher Weds Lucky Bride Rosie Parrino Rosie Parrino, dean of women, and Henry Asher, head of something or other around here, were married last Saturday. The ceremony took place in Holy Name Church and was conducted by the Rev. William William J. Junkin, S.J., who termed the marriage "a union that was meant to be." The bride wore a lush white gown with matching veil, while the groom was attired in a semi-zoot suit. Joseph DiFulco, campus barber, was best man. The maid of honor was Mr. Charles Brennan by proxy. A BUBBLING and bouncy Asher told reporters at the reception in the a la Carte dining room of Danna Center, "This is a wonderful day for me. Originally "Poopsie" and I had planned to elope, but when I tried to carry her from her window the ladder broke. So we decided to do it up right." The blushing bride was even morp enthusiastic. "Oh isn't Henry a little ball of dynamite. When he popped the question to me, I just couldn't say no. I mean, how could any woman in her right mind resist him." Asher claims to have met his wife several years before coming to Loyola at a local Slenderella. "'Poopsie' and I were the only two drop-outs in the group. We had something in common right from the start." THE BRIDE told of their future plans. "Why I can just Here Comes The... Yes, it's handsome Henry Asher, and vivacious Rosalie Parrino coming down the aisle. The two love birds were wed last Saturday in Holy Name Church by Rev. William Junkin, S.J. see Henry and I now in front of the fireplace in his Studio Arms apartment. I'll be shining his head with a shoe brush, and he'll be typing out my coed dsimissal slips." The couple snuck away from the gala party to their honeymoon hide-a-way in Bunkie, La., the bride's home town. Fen Leaders Plus Two Named To 'Who Should Have Been' Eleven Loyola students were chosen last week for membership in the university's "Who Should Have Been," and two faculty members were given honorary membership. The Royal Order of the Purple Shift—as it is commonly known to all—was introduced on campus this year for those people who through their own particular idiosyncracies should have been and might have been, but weren't given admission to Big Brother Who's Who. All new members will receive automatic membership in Loyola's national honor fraternity Blue Lock. New members are: Don Cathio for keeping the university in funds for the past seven years thereby making possible the construction of Danna Center; Eddie Hardin for being a bureau with the most magnificent collection of clues in existence—a "defective" on the Student Council force. This is a typographical error. It should read: a "detective" on the Student Council farce; Ronnie Burro for breaking the racial barrier and upholding the traditions of the boot of Europe. Betty Schmitt for her dimpled lunacy and uncanny ability to pop up everywhere and leave just as quickly—a train of insanity lingering behind; Fletcher Cochran for finally bending his knee to someone; Nancy Perich—on principle; Dick Groff for three unsuccessful attempts at a hat and cane. Francis Patriquin for his superior sense of balance in hoisting signs atop his head and marching; J. C. Pigg for the humiliation suffered when the inspector of ROTC troops stopped in front of him, ranted about his shameful appearance, told him he belonged in a pen, and then at the request of his name, received "Pigg, Sr" as an answer; Pierre Kirk for his always-voiced philosophy that God was a 'Kirk.' Honorary members named to "Who Should Have Been" are the Rev. Edward A. Doyle, S.J., for fulfilling the tasks of "president in absentia" and the Rev. Vincent P. Miceli, S.J., for always wearing both a belt and suspenders. Initiation ceremonies will take place in pharmacy school next September—which should be but won't be.

Outlook & Prospects for Chain Saw and Skidder Operators in Centre-du-Québec Region
The future forecast and current conditions for an occupation can vary based on location or due to changes in the economy, technology, or demand for a product or service.
National Outlook ż 10-Year Projection (2011-2020)
This section provides labour demand and labour supply projections for this occupation over the 2011-2020 period.
Note: The tables, graphs and middle paragraph shown under this section display updated 2011-2020 projection results. The remaining narrative text (2009-2018 projections) will be updated shortly. We apologize for the inconvenience.
The data in the following table are derived from HRSDCżs Canadian Occupational Projection System (COPS). COPS uses a variety of models to produce a detailed 10-year labour market projection per broad skill level and per occupation at the national level, which focuses on the trends of labour supply and labour demand over the next ten years.
This occupation (Chain Saw and Skidder Operators) is part of a larger occupational group called Logging and Forestry Workers (NOC 842).
Occupations in this group |
Chain Saw and Skidder Operators (8421) Silviculture and Forestry Workers (8422) |
Employment (non-student) in 2010 | 11,307 |
Median Age of workers in 2010 | 44 |
Average Retirement Age in 2010 | 60 |
Occupation Projection for Canada
Over the 2008-2010 period, employment in this occupation stagnated while the unemployment rate increased more quickly than for other occupations to 28.6% in 2010. The average hourly wage for this occupation remained stable over this period. According to key labour market indicators, the number of job seekers was more than sufficient to fill the job openings in this occupation.
Over the 2011-2020 period, an occupation will be in excess demand (a shortage of workers) if the projected number of job openings is significantly greater than the projected number of job seekers. An occupation will be in excess supply (a surplus of workers) if the projected number of job openings is smaller than the projected number of job seekers. For Logging And Forestry Workers, over the 2011-2020 period, job openings (arising from expansion demand and replacement demand) are expected to total 4,358 and 3,176 job seekers (arising from school leavers, immigration and mobility) are expected to be available to fill the job openings.
Based on projections and considering that labour supply in this occupation exceeded demand, it is expected that there will be excess supply in this occupation. In other words, the number of job seekers will be more than sufficient to fill the job openings in this occupation over the 2011-2020 period. Job openings will arise mainly from retirements. In fact, this occupation will see a retirement rate higher than the average for all occupations, as workers are generally older than those in other occupations. Although job openings will be practically non-existent over the projection period, they will be greater than openings over the 2001-2010 period. During that period, the forestry industry was affected by numerous events such as the lumber dispute with the United States (resolved by the agreement of 2006), the pine beetle infestation in British Columbia that destroyed a large number of Murray pines, the decline in demand for newsprint in North America, and the increase in foreign competition. More recently, the real estate crisis in the United States and the 2008-2009 recession also had a negative impact on the forest industry. The intense restructuring that took place after all these events will enable the forestry sector to slow down its decline in the coming years, meaning that employment will stabilize for logging workers over the projection period. With regard to labour supply, the majority of job seekers will come from the school system.
This Chart contains data for Projection of Job Openings vs. Job Seekers for Canada. Information is available in the following tables.
Category | Openings | % |
Expansion Demand | 164 | 4% |
Retirements | 3,440 | 79% |
Other Replacement Demand | 525 | 12% |
Emigration | 229 | 5% |
Projected Job Openings | 4,358 | 100% |
Category | Seekers | % |
School Leavers | 2,428 | 76% |
Immigration | 513 | 16% |
Other | 235 | 7% |
Projected Job Seekers | 3,176 | 100% |
In which industry or sector do people in this occupation find jobs in Canada?
This table shows the industry and sectors employing the highest number of people in this occupation.
Industry / Sector | % |
Agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting | 79.90 |
Manufacturing | 10.20 |
What percentage of people in this occupation are self-employed?
This occupation (Chain Saw and Skidder Operators) is part of a larger group called Logging and Forestry Workers (NOC 842). According to the Labour Force Survey (2012), 33% of workers in this group were self-employed, while the average for all occupations was 15%.
What proportion of people in this occupation work full-time?
According to the Labour Force Survey (2012), 94% of workers in this occupation worked full-time, compared to the average of 81% for all occupations.
What is the proportion of women working in this occupation?
The data from the Labour Force Survey (2012) regarding the proportion of men and women working in this occupation are not sufficiently reliable to be published.
What percentage of people in this occupation are members of a union?
The data from the Labour Force Survey (2012) regarding the percentage of people in this occupation who are part of a union are not sufficiently reliable to be published.

As Joseph Smith left Nauvoo for Carthage, Illinois, his earthly ministry nearing its end, he looked back at the half-finished temple and at the homes and farms. "This is the loveliest place and the best people under the heavens," he said.1 He had worked with them, encouraged and taught them, mourned for their losses, and felt their jubilation.
The Lord had revealed much through His first prophet of the Restoration to help guide the people in His ways. "If you wish to go where God is," Joseph had earlier admonished, "you must be like God. . . . For if we are not drawing towards God in principle, we are going from Him."2 Through Joseph's ministry, tens of thousands living on the American frontier, the East Coast, Canada, and the British Isles had come to the knowledge of the truth, had taken the name of Jesus Christ upon them, and had received the Holy Ghost.
Now, with Joseph gone, the building of the kingdom of God fell on the Saints' shoulders. They had the earlier assurance of Joseph, "By the help of the Almighty, we shall go on from victory to victory."3

2. History of the Church, 4:588.

Joseph and Hyrum Smith were murdered by a mob on June 27, 1844, at the jail in Carthage, Illinois, United States of America (see D&C 135; The Guide to the Scriptures, "Carthage Jail," 38).
kingdom of God
The kingdom of God on earth is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (see D&C 65). The purpose of the Church is to prepare its members to live forever in the celestial kingdom or kingdom of heaven (The Guide to the Scriptures, "Kingdom of God or Kingdom of Heaven," 142).
