If you don't find the answers you're looking for here, check out Join Us or talk to one of our reps today.
You gain the advantages of belonging to a union—job security, advocacy for fair pay and work conditions, a great benefits package, retirement savings plans, training programs—without the negative union baggage. You gain being part of a union that doesn't leave you feeling alienated from your co-workers or employer. You gain a constructive, values-based approach that builds positive work environments and creates positive results.
If and when a collective agreement is in place, you will be required to pay union dues. Our dues policy is set by the union's National Convention at a very competitive rate. For details, call one of our knowledgeable reps today.
Can my workplace switch to CLAC if it's already unionized?
Yes, within certain time frames established by federal and provincial labour laws. These time frames are often informally referred to as open season. The best way to learn more is to talk to one of our reps today.
If I join, can my employer fire me?
Provincial and federal laws give workers the right to unionize without punishment or retaliation. If your employer tries to intimidate you in any way or terminates your employment, we'll bring the full weight of the law to bear—regardless of whether the unionization campaign is successful or not. You're protected the moment you sign a membership application card.
Your employer has very limited rights to communicate its views on a union organizing campaign. Most employers know and accept this—if not, we'll certainly inform them! We can and will protect you if your employer illegally punishes workers for supporting the union.
Should your employer respond negatively, keep a record of anything out of the ordinary during an organizing campaign. For example, obtain copies of bulletins and take note of any intimidating conversations with management, and report them to your CLAC rep.
It's important you understand that threats of layoff, reduced hours, closure, or the dismissal of workers who talk union are illegal. Equally important to know is that CLAC-trained staff or legal counsel will be retained on behalf of anyone whose rights are violated.
If I join, can my employer change my working conditions, cut the workforce, or take away my benefits and privileges?
No. The law forbids employers from making changes. A freeze period runs from the date of application for certification to a set date, or until a first contract is reached. Changes can only be made with the permission of the labour relations board or the union during this freeze period.
How does the contract negotiation process work?
You and your fellow workers will meet with one of our experienced reps to draft contract proposals and elect members to a bargaining committee. We'll give the committee access to our research on economic and bargaining trends in your industry and comparable workplaces. This committee and your CLAC rep will negotiate with your employer with the goal of reaching the best possible settlement.
A settlement is only concluded once you and your fellow workers (or sometimes fellow local members) have ratified it by a majority in a membership vote.
What types of work conditions, benefits and other features are commonly included in a contract settlement?
While every settlement is different, your contract will ensure you enjoy strong representation and excellent work conditions, benefits, and wages, which often include:
If you don't find the answers you're looking for here, check out Benefits or talk to one of our reps today.
We negotiate for extensive health and welfare benefits and retirement plans on your behalf. We also offer other extras, including our vendor discount program, yearly scholarships, and Bereavement Fund.
What types of health and welfare benefit programs do you offer?
Regardless of your plan's specific details, you're sure to enjoy a comprehensive collection of benefits, including programs for:
What types of retirement programs do you offer?
We negotiate and manage two retirement savings plans.The first is the CLAC Pension Plan, a defined contribution registered plan that was established in 1974 and has averaged a solid rate of return since its inception. The second is a group RSP through Great-West Life, which may be available for workers in western Canada.
What benefit providers do you deal with?
Regardless of the terms of your collective agreement and region of employment, your benefit providers will be leaders in their industry, including:
How do I get detailed benefits information?
If you're not already represented by CLAC, the best place to start is to read an overview of the various benefits and retirement-related programs we offer. If we already represent you at your workplace, you can find benefit forms and more details in Member Resources. And if you have specific coverage questions, please contact your Benefit Administration office.
If we already represent you at your workplace, it will probably be easiest to get benefit forms and more details in Member Resources. You can also get claim forms from:
Where can I get a copy of the benefit plan booklet?
You can contact your Benefit Administration Office to arrange for a benefit plan booklet to be sent to you.
If you don't find the answers you're looking for here, check out About Us or talk to one of our reps today.
Within Canada, CLAC is not affiliated with any provincial or national labour federation or congress, which means we're independent. At the international level, however, we're affiliated with the World Organization of Workers (WOW), which represents over 1.3 million workers in 130 labour unions from over 60 countries.
We're one of the largest independent labour unions in Canada and one of the country's fastest-growing unions. We represent over 60,000 workers in just about every type of workplace, operating as both a union and a confederation of local unions.
What exactly is a local, and how does it fit into your organization?
A local is a geographically localized chapter or branch of a union consisting of one or more bargaining units. Locals have elected officials as well as office staff. They can vary in size, depending on the size of the geographic area. The purpose of locals is to negotiate and administer collective agreements for their members. Locals are legally required to have a constitution, bylaws, and elected officers, which makes them unions in their own right.
In our case, we're both a union and also a national organization of affiliated locals (i.e., local unions). We have a national constitution that governs CLAC as well as each local union. Locals are serviced from our regional offices, which negotiate and administer collective agreements and represent bargaining unit members.
Ever since we started in 1952, we have been guided by principles of respect, dignity, and fairness in the workplace rooted in our Christian foundation. These principles underpin our approach to how we negotiate and arbitrate on your behalf and make us different from and more progressive than traditional unions. The bottom line is that aggression is not effective. Dialogue gets results.
Our constructive approach means we use our size and experience to negotiate and arbitrate through dialogue, rather than unnecessary confrontation. It also means you get to keep working at full pay. But when we need to get tough, we do so while using the same constructive approach. Our track record proves we get results for our members.
Why the word "Christian" in Christian Labour Association of Canada?
People sometimes wonder if we're affiliated with a church or religious group or if we're only a union for people of a certain faith. We're none of these. Our name refers to the principles that undergird our approach in representing you. We've kept the word Christian in our name because these guiding principles are shared in the faiths and social traditions of all sorts of people around the world. Principles that remind us to treat all human beings with dignity and respect, to seek justice in our workplaces, that cooperation is better than warfare, that workers should have choices—especially when it comes to union matters.
Because CLAC dares to be a different, we sometimes attract the ire of others in the labour movement for whom we are competition. Here are some typical questions they like to raise about us to create doubt about who we are.
That depends on what a real union means to you. If it means an organization that
. . . then it would be best for you to look elsewhere—CLAC is not that kind of union.
We are a real union but we take a different approach. We
We also
Does CLAC respect workers' right to choose unions?
CLAC believes that all workers should have the right to choose which union to represent them. Ironically, the same unions that allege CLAC does not respect workers' right to choose unions prevent their own members from switching to an affiliated union through "no raid" pacts. In this way, all the affiliates are virtually guaranteed continuous representation rights—no matter how poorly they represent their members.
If you're a member of one of these unions and are unhappy with the service you're getting, your only choice is to decertify the union or join CLAC—one of the reasons that CLAC is one of Canada's fastest growing unions.
These same unions that prevent workers from switching unions also enforce mandatory membership on workplaces for which they have certified bargaining rights. This closed shop practice means that if you don't sign a union member card, you're out of a job. They claim compulsory membership is necessary to maintain solidarity in the bargaining unit.
CLAC has demonstrated otherwise. From our very beginnings in 1952, membership in CLAC has been 100 percent voluntary. We believe all Canadians should have access to work regardless of union affiliation.
Does CLAC collaborate with employers to weaken general provisions?
Some of our competitors in the labour movement falsely claim that CLAC agreements are inferior. They say that we negotiate lower compensation and weaker general provisions to appease employers.
One example they often cite as proof is an agreement between CLAC Construction Workers Union, Local 63, and Horizon Construction Management Ltd. (HCML), the general contractor for Canadian Natural Resources Limited's $9.7 billion Horizon Oil Sands Project in northern Alberta.
The agreement is commonly referred to as a Division 8 project agreement. It is designed to allow all labour groups—members of CLAC, members of Alberta Building Trades Council (ABTC) unions, and non-union workers—to participate in building the project. The most contentious issue raised concerned provisions regarding overtime, in particular, weekend double time for ABTC affiliates.
With Horizon's continuous work cycles on the massive project—up to 7,000 workers rotating through a variety of shift schedules—it was not possible for all workers to share in weekend overtime equally. To ensure fairness for all employees, we negotiated an overtime percentage for the various shifts.
The ironworkers union agreed to the modified provisions. Later, the electricians union also agreed. But other ABTC-affiliated unions refused to budge. They refused because they were unwilling to allow their members to work alongside CLAC and non-union tradespeople.
In doing so, they excluded their members from working on a project considered by most to be very successful, one that provides excellent wages and benefits for all those who work on it.
The Division 8 agreement negotiated between CLAC and HCML demonstrates the advantages of our model of labour relations. Cooperation and partnership does not mean appeasement to employer demands. It means a common sense approach to complex problems where solutions are worked out together to the benefit of everyone.
CLAC's win-win, interest-based approach to bargaining produces results for our members without turning the workplace into a warzone. Our growth is testament to the success of the CLAC model.
Does CLAC discriminate based on age?
Unbelievably, some in the labour movement have suggested that CLAC discriminates based on age because of recommendations we made concerning Saskatchewan's minimum wage.
In our submission to the Saskatchewan government, we recommended an increase in the minimum wage for all workers. We also suggested that to encourage youth employment this increase should be slightly less for students.
Studies show that when the minimum wage is increased, there is a demonstrated reduction in youth employment. CLAC is committed to seeking the employment of young people. Youth unemployment rates in Canada remain unacceptably high.
To address youth unemployment, some jurisdictions have multiple minimum wage levels. Ontario, for example, has five different levels, including one for students. Numerous collective agreements also allow for lower wages for students to encourage employers to hire youth.
Does CLAC rely on voluntary recognition to avoid real organizing?
Voluntary recognition is when an employer recognizes the wishes of its employees to unionize without going through the certification process. Sometimes an employer will recognize the union when it knows the majority of employees want a union. Sometimes the employer sees the advantages of collective bargaining and a fair process for handling grievances that come with being unionized.
Within the framework of provincial labour laws, voluntary recognition is a legitimate form of organizing workers. Not only is it legitimate, but it is used by unions of all stripes. Rules govern the process of voluntary recognition, which must be followed carefully.
CLAC does not rely on voluntary recognition to any greater extent than others in the labour movement. Since we began, we have been certified over 2,000 times by labour boards across Canada. The fact is that the majority of our members come to us to represent them because of our excellent hands-on representation and strong gains we make for them at the bargaining table.
Call one of our knowledgeable regional reps today to start the process of transforming your workplace into one marked by progressive labour relations.

A new bill introduced Friday would allow Vermont gun owners to use silencers.
Vermont currently bans the manufacture, sale, use or possession of gun suppressors. The bill would not allow their use while hunting.
Rep. Pat Brennan says silencers would not eliminate the need for ear protection while shooting, but may make target practice quieter for neighbors.
"It doesn't muffle it to the point where you can't hear it, but it certainly wouldn't hurt the arrangement between range owners and land owners," said Brennan, R-Colchester.
If the measure does become law, gun owners would still need to apply for a $200 federal permit in order to use a silencer. The application process requires fingerprinting and typically takes 6-8 months to complete in neighboring New Hampshire, where they're already permitted.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"There was not an option for me to change the date for them to be returned to me. It's usually two weeks prior, now some may not reply due to the date. It may have been my mistake if so I apologize. Other than that in happy."
"We changed up the format if the cards a bit and it worked out really well. We left the RSVP date blank so we could write our own in for our A and B lists. We also are having a buffet so we turned the entree options into line for song requests. We'll give our DJ a list of our guests' favorite songs, and I'm so glad these cards gave us the freedom to do that."
"This little card may be my favorite piece in the suite. I had chosen "Gilded" to be the font color. This is the inverse of the rest of the suite. I love everything about it!"
"Great product; I changed some fonts, and moved some things around on the card; the WeddingPaperDivas reviewer moved them into perfect position, and they look great."
"I had this card personalized with one solid color for the border. I also had the menu choice removed and added a line that read, "We have saved ___ seats for you". They came out perfect. I am beyond happy with the design. Wedding Paper Divas were quick to respond with a proof and on time with the expected delivery date. I would recommend them to everyone!"

Oilers at Kings, G28/07-08
This is Bernie Nicholls. His nickname was the "Pumper Nicholl kid" because he used to punch the air with his glove (it was a big deal at the time, you had to be there). He was drafted and came to the show with the Kings, and had a brief career with the Oilers too.
He was an amazing goal scorer. He wasn't fast (he was in fact slow, very slow for the NHL) but he had this staccato style that allowed him to change directions or shoot from wonky spots. He rarely tipped what he was planning and lots of goals were scored on goalies who weren't ready. He had this move where he'd fake a slapshot, move quickly (he had quick hands) to change the angle and then rip it shelf.
Nicholls scored 41 goals (in 55gp) in the AHL before getting called up to the majors and scored 14 goals in his first 22 games to end his first season (81-82). He ended up with 475 goals with a one season high of 70.
He is quite famous for older Oilers fans like me, for one very large moment in team history. Taken directly from hockeydraftcentral:
Nicholls found himself at the center of a controversy after he was traded by N.Y. Rangers to Edmonton as part of the Oct. 4, 1991, deal that brought Mark Messier to New York. Nicholls, the biggest veteran name on the Rangers' end of the trade, immediately declared that he would never report to any team in Canada, and certainly not while his wife, Heather, was bedridden and expecting twins.
The Rangers refused to honor Nicholls' wishes that he be left out of the deal, setting off a controversy that Nicholls' fueled by making further statements that he would not play for a rebuilding team and would not play in Canada. He also felt the Rangers could easily substitute another player in the deal, and was concerned that he would become trade bait once again if he went to Edmonton.
Nicholls began a holdout against reporting to Edmonton and was suspended by the Oilers for failing to join the team. The suspension would cost him roughly $9,000 of his $700,000 salary for each missed game. Nicholls then indicated he would go to Edmonton if they gave him a big raise over his current contract, while also saying that he hoped Edmonton might trade him back to Los Angeles.
Nicholls said his pregnant wife was particularly interested in seeing him earn Messier's former salary (more than $1.1 million in Canadian funds), and that if he was given this money, she would agree to move to Edmonton. Heather Nicholls was due to give birth to twins on Dec. 14, 1991, but had been having trouble with the pregnancy and Nicholls said there was no way he would leave her side until the babies were born. Nicholls and his wife had been trying to have children for five years and had even lost out in two efforts to adopt, when the babies' mothers changed their minds at the last minute and withheld the children from planned adoptions. Nicholls therefore feared anything that might disrupt the pregnancy.
On Nov. 29, 1991, Heather Nicholls gave birth to a baby boy and girl, clearing the way for her husband to join the Oilers with no changes to his contract. Elated at the birth of his children, Nicholls announced his intention to play for Edmonton on Dec. 1, 1991, after having forfeited over $200,000 in salary during his holdout. He was removed from the Edmonton suspension list and reported to the Oilers in time for a Dec. 6, 1991, game at Winnipeg, but did not make his Edmonton debut until a Dec. 10, 1991, game at Vancouver. Nicholls was widely praised for putting his career in jeopardy so he could stick by his wife.

The Addiction Casebook
Edited by Petros Levounis, M.D., M.A., and Abigail J. Herron, D.O.2014230 pages
ISBN 978-1-58562-458-4Paperback
Item #62458
This informative, practical volume strikes a colloquial, and sometimes humorous, tone. General psychiatrists and psychiatric residents seeking to gain expertise in and an understanding of addiction will find it a delight to read, as will a diverse audience of family practitioners, internists, pediatricians, medical students, allied professionals, and anyone interested in sharpening her or his clinical skills.
The book is the first to cover the diagnosis, assessment, and treatment of substance use disorders and other addictions within the DSM-5® framework. Its many valuable and helpful features include
In their preface, the authors assert their hope that the book "will provide the fundamental tools for working with the substance-using patient in the hospital, the clinic, and the community." The Addiction Casebook exceeds its goal by providing mental health and other medical practitioners with timely, current strategies for addiction diagnosis and treatment in a succinct, engaging, and entertaining volume.
"This little volume manages to pack much more than I expected from a casebook: it's full of current, DSM-5-based diagnostic tools, 'to the point' treatment recommendations, and lots and lots of practical tips for our busy clinics here in Rio. Does it deliver on its promise of guiding both general clinicians and addiction specialists? It certainly does."—Analice Gigliotti, M.D., Past President, Brazilian Association on Studies of Alcohol and Other Drugs; Chief of the Chemical Dependence Unit, Santa Casa General Hospital of Rio de Janeiro
"The Addiction Casebook is a well written, easy to read primer on addictive disorders. Covering topics ranging from alcohol and comorbid psychiatric disorders, to cannabis, caffeine, hallucinogens as well as non-substance addictions, the Casebook uses compelling clinical material to make important clinical and practical points about the treatment of patients with addictive disorders. This Casebook is a valuable addition for a specialist in addiction, for the general practitioner who wishes to learn more about treating addition or as an educational tool for residents and fellows learning about addictive disorders, their neurobiology, epidemiology and appropriate treatments. An interesting and fun read!!"—Ismene L. Petrakis, M.D., Professor of Psychiatry, Yale School of Medicine; Chief of Psychiatry, VA Connecticut Healthcare System

Birch Bay plan will get last tweaks at final meeting
thinking their work was done last April, the Birch Bay Steering
Committee (BBSC) found it still had work to do after hearing
initial reactions to its report following a June 27th public
hearing with the Whatcom County Planning Commission.
Concerns over land use in Trillium Corporations approximately 1,100 acre property between the BP-Cherry Point refinery and the shoreline was at the head of the list.
West Cherry Point area is zoned wrong [as heavy impact industrial], said Dave Determan of Point Whitehorn in a two-page handout distributed at last weeks meeting, and its time to do the right thing, to correct a wrong done over 30 years ago.
This issue has stymied the committee repeatedly as it has attempted to find consensus between those who want to preserve the heavy impact industrial zoning in the area and those who, like Determan, do not. But recommending uses incompatible with current zoning in a given area creates conflicts with the countys comprehensive plan and bylaws must be resolved.
After four more meetings in July and August and some homework by committee staff and members, a second final draft will be considered on September 18th for submission to the planning commission for approval, modification or rejection on September 26.
Most of the committees work came in response to a written reaction to the community plan prepared by Whatcom County State Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA) administrator John Guenther. Guenther told the committee he needed more information in four areas in order to determine whether or not an environmental impact statement (EIS) was needed.
These include cultural resource issues, provisions for police, fire and emergency medical resources should the area incorporate, the proximity of industrial hazard areas to residential housing and possible conflicts between land uses outlined by the community plan and the Whatcom County Comprehensive Plan. These conflicts arise out of the assignment of residential land uses to Trilliums West Cherry Point property, currently zoned heavy impact industrial. That zoning precludes the residential uses the BBSC wants to allow, creating an illegal conflict between the county and community plans.
The first three issues were handled routinely by committees assigned to add their reports more or less directly as additional pages to the full community plan. The fourth, once again, lead to a long and frequently confusing parliamentary maneuvering and debate over the uses to which Trilliums land should be put and why.
Bob Libolt is Trilliums representative on the steering committee, and has clearly stated on many occasions that the best way to keep more heavy industry out of West Cherry Point is to get the county to change the zoning. If theres to be a change in zoning for the area, support for it must come out of the committee in this report as an expression of local sentiment, Libolt said.
Mike Abendhoff of BP Cherry Point has countered by pointing out the hazards associated with living so close to a major heavy industry, and says that the refinery strongly objects to any changes in zoning allowing people to live within a half mile of heavy industry.
Libolt, along with BBSC members Claudia Hollod and Doralee Booth, were asked by the chair at an earlier meeting to review the community plan for conflicts with the countys comprehensive plan and produced a report that said there were essentially none. The only change is that the countys policies toward Cherry Point would apply to a slightly smaller area, Libolt said.
Hollod and Booth submitted an additional report asking that specific wording be inserted into the community plan saying that, the Steering Committee finds heavy/high impact industrial zoning in the West Cherry Point neighborhood unacceptable, claiming that a motion on July 17 had asked for that wording to appear in the plan. We just want to make sure this gets in there, Hollod said.
But instead, after an hour and a half discussion, the committee supported a proposal by Ted Morris to simply leave the land-use map the way it is, with the colors in the West Cherry Point area expressing for activities there, but cross-hatched to show that the boundaries are approximate at this point and will be decided in the future.
The committee then decided to meet one more time, on September 18, to review the final edited version of the community plan before submitting it to the planning commission. On September 26 the BBSC will relinquish its role in creating and modifying the plan as the planning commission considers it for eventual submission to the Whatcom County Council..

A Few Tiny Flies, A Few Tiny Tactics
- By: Dave Hughes
A Few Tiny Flies, A Few Tiny Tactics
Be prepared when trout focus on diminutive insects.
I FISHED A TROUT POND THE OTHER DAY WITH AN old friend. The conversation, while we sat sipping wine at the end of some very satisfying midge fishing, turned to previous trips that hadn't gone so well. He recalled a moment on a famous river when he got into a hatch of size 22 olive mayfly duns, had no flies nearly that small, and was able to catch nothing but frustration.
Rick Hafele and I, on the opposite hand, got into a hatch of size 22 mayflies on another famous river last summer, had no flies that precisely matched it, but got into sufficient trout, so long as our presentations were close to perfect. When Rick and I compared flies later they had almost no resemblance to each other. His was a puff of CDC over a slender dubbed body that didn't even have a name. Mine was a Sparkle Dun with a Z-Lon trailing shuck, a slender dubbed body, and a flared wing of Comparadun hair. The only thing they had in common, outside the body: They were both the same size 22 as the mayfly dun that hatched, and on which trout fed.
When the deciding factor in a trout's take or refusal becomes size, not necessarily form or color, then it's easy to speculate that a few fly patterns would cover a wide range of hatches. In my own experience, that's very close to correct. A narrow selection of tiny flies solves a lot of difficult situations, though it's also true that it won't solve them all. Some rare times, though far less often than you'd think, the precise imitation will work and nothing else will interest trout. Even then, it's a certainty that more than one right fly will take fish.
A working selection of tiny flies would fit into a very small fly box, if you cared to buy a new one for it, or in a small corner of a larger fly box, if you'd rather fit them into what you already carry. The selection need not be extensive at first, though success with it might lead you into further research, and to more time at the vise. Until then, it's best to begin with a few patterns, surface and sunk, that have a history of catching lots of trout. Depending on your skills at the vise, or your purchasing power at the fly shop, they should all be tied on size 20 to 24 hooks.
The first tiny fly in a box of them, for me, would be that Olive Sparkle Dun, based on the Blue-Wing Olive mayfly, because there are so many BWOs, they hatch in such a wide-spread number of places, and trout are usually selective to them when they're on the water. Most, though not all, tiny mayflies turn out to be olives. When they're not, the same dressing seems to work well enough, even when its color is not correct. A second dressing, to fish sub-surface during the same mayfly hatch, would be Rim Chung's RS2. It has worked often enough for me that it has a place alongside the famous Pheasant Tail Nymph, a dressing that no tiny-fly selection should be without.
The pattern I use for small caddis is similar to Rick's pattern for tiny mayflies in two ways: It has nothing but a dubbed body and CDC wing, and it has no name, though I'm sure it's been invented and named by somebody else. Because of its simplicity, elegance and effectiveness, it just seems to be a no-brainer. I tie it in tan and dark dun, which covers most small caddis that I encounter. I've used it during hatches of tiny midges as well, and it's fished equally well for them. Rick used it over that BWO hatch. It seems that the same CDC dressing catches trout when almost anything tiny is on the water, so long as the size is right.
To fish under hatches of small caddis, it's difficult to beat tiny soft-hackle wet flies. It's impossible to buy them so small; you'll have to tie your own. I think the Starling & Herl is best, and it ranges down to size 16 and sometimes 18. Smaller than that and starlings fail to provide small enough feathers. It's easy to substitute black hen hackle, which I suppose then makes the fly a Black Hen & Herl. Like the floating CDC caddis pattern, it works for midges as well, especially on moving water.
Specifically for midge adults, it's always wise to be armed with small Griffith's Gnats. They're the standard, and fairly easy to tie, just peacock herl bodies overwound with grizzly hackle. But remember, more midge naturals are taken as pupae, beneath the surface, than are ever taken on top. A small fly selection would be incomplete without a few Zebra Midges, tied on curved-shank scud hooks, with black thread bodies, silver wire ribs and a bright glass bead braced against the hook eye.
THAT'S A SHORT LIST OF TINY flies, but it will take you a long way in your trout fishing. If you already have favorites, it would be foolish not to add those to it. Even if you tie or buy just a few of them, and only in sizes 20 and 22, you'll at least never get caught with nothing to try when trout feed on insects that are almost invisible. Be sure to add one thing to your vest, if you don't already carry it: a spool of 6X tippet. Make it 7X if you habitually fish waters that are smooth on top and heavily pestered by other anglers; trout on those waters will be wise, and you'll need to be wiser to fool them.
Most standard tactics for flies of larger size work as well for tiny flies. The most important adjustment will be in your position, not your presentation. Work in as close as you can, sometimes just a rod length or two from feeding trout, if they'll allow it. The second adjustment is to refine your tackle. Go with a lighter line, longer leader, more supple tippet. When trout are snotty and you catch nothing but refusals, try adding three to four feet of 6X tippet before beginning a litany of fly changes. As often as not, the rigging is causing the problem. Lack of delicacy in your gear or your cast, or drag that you're unable to notice, cause trout to turn away at least as often as they refuse because the fly is wrong, especially when the subject is tiny.
If a common problem exists when you downsize, it's that the flies are much more difficult to see on the water, and it's harder to detect takes when they're fished subsurface. Getting close is the first solution, if you can do it. If not, one trick is to add a small yarn indicator, or a larger dry fly, a few feet up the leader, even when you're fishing dry. This draws your attention toward your fly, and will help you spot it on the water. If you still can't see it, then you can set the hook whenever a rise erupts anywhere near the indicator. Often enough it will be a trout taking your fly. Set the hook gently, though, so if it's a miss you don't yank it out of there and spook the trout you're trying to catch.
Another trick, when you're fishing dry flies, is to simply tug them under and fish them as wets or nymphs. This works especially well with down-wing caddis patterns, but I've had trout whack a small submerged Sparkle Dun that they refused while it was afloat. You can fish sunk dry flies upstream to rises, just as you would fish them floating. You can also fish them as dries on the upstream part of any cast, then give them a pull to drown them, and fish them on a very slow swing after they reach your position in the water.
When fishing mayfly, caddis or midge nymphs in low light, it can help to use a couple of pea-size yarn indicators, one black and one white, four to six feet from the fly or flies, and four to six inches apart on the leader. When your drift passes through dark water, say the reflections of trees on the bank, you can see the white indicator. When the surface reflects the sky and shines, you can see the black one. Either way, you've got the trout surrounded.
A single small indicator lets you suspend midge nymphs at any depth in a lake or pond. In my experience, when trout feed so shallow that it looks like they're taking midge adults off the surface, I still catch more of them by dropping one or two Zebra Midges a foot or two deep, allowing them to hang there, enticing the trout.
At times, with tiny flies it's difficult to decide whether to fish a dry on top, a wet or light nymph just sub-surface, or a heavier nymph a bit deeper. One way to solve this dilemma is to rig all three, or two of the three, and fish them as a gang, as droppers a couple of feet apart. A sample rig would be the Pheasant Tail on point, followed by a Black Hen & Herl dropper, and lastly a dark CDC Caddis on top. Sometimes one of the flies will work while the others fail, and you'll know which of them to use. More often, it seems that the sight of the bunch of them instills greed in the trout, and they take the flies at random.
Trout are often mysteries, but if you carry a few tiny flies—and add a few minor tactics to fish them—you'll figure them out more often. That translates into catching more fish, which I would guess is generally your goal when you go fishing.

Domino's delivers -- for shareholders
Will the company's shares remain as tasty as its pizza?
Shares of Domino's Pizza (DPZ) skyrocketed more than 11% in early trading Tuesday after the pizza delivery chain posted better-than-expected fourth quarter earnings.
Net income at the Ann Arbor, Mich. company rose 27.9% to $30.9 million, or 52 cents a share, versus $24.2 million, or 40 cents a share, in the year earlier period. Revenue rose 4.5% to $501.7 million. Wall Street analysts expected earnings of 49 cents on sales of $514.1 million.
The results were impressive across the board. U.S. same-store sales grew 6.8% during the fourth quarter, while sales at international stores opened at least a year rose 4.7%. This comparable sales growth indicates that Domino's efforts to improve the quality of its food have paid off, and it came at the expense of rival Papa John's International (PZZA), which gave a disappointing 2012 earnings outlook late last year.
Shares of Domino's have nearly doubled over the past year as the chain successfully navigated an uncertain economy and the highest cheese prices in 25 years. Papa John's shares rose about 26% during the same time. Both companies will benefit from an expected decline in the price of milk and from rising consumer confidence.
Giving its long range outlook, Domino's now expects international same-store sales to rise 3% to 6%, ahead of a previous forecast of a 3%-5% increase. Sales at U.S. stores opened at least a year are projected to rise 1% to 3%, unchanged from an earlier estimate. The good news, though, is largely factored into the stocks of Domino's and Papa John's.
The average one-year price target on Domino's is $35.10, below the $37.31 where it recently traded. Papa John's stock is expected to gain about 6% during the next 52 weeks, rising to $39.23. Domino's shares are pricey, though, trading at a trailing multiple of 21.22, near their five-year high. Papa John's multiple is 16.62.
Fans of both companies may experience financial indigestion if they try to gobble up their shares.
Freelance writer Jonathan Berr prefers the taste of Papa John's pizza. Sorry Domino's. He doesn't own either stock.

Driving Tips
Please take extra precautions when driving in winter storm conditions.
Please take extra precautions when driving in winter storm conditions.
Take extra precaution near school bus stops where children may be waiting without supervision.
Treat non-working traffic lights as stop signs and proceed cautiously at intersections.
Avoid driving during severe winter storms.
Clear snow from the exhaust pipe before starting your vehicle.
Pull off the highway if possible, turn on hazard lights, and hang a distress flag from the radio antenna or window.
Remain in your vehicle where rescuers are most likely to find you. Do not set out on foot unless you can see a building close by where you know you can take shelter. Be careful; distances are distorted by blowing snow. A building may seem close, but it could be too far to walk towards in deep snow.
Run the engine and heater about 10 minutes each hour to keep warm. When the engine is running, open an upwind window slightly for ventilation. This will protect you from possible carbon monoxide poisoning.
Periodically clear snow from the exhaust pipe.
Exercise to maintain body heat, but avoid overexertion. In extreme cold, use road maps, seat covers, and floor mats for insulation. Huddle with passengers and use your coat for a blanket.
Take turns sleeping. One person should be awake at all times to look for rescue crews.
Drink fluids to avoid dehydration.
Be careful not to waste battery power. Balance electrical energy needs - the use of lights, heat, and radio - with supply.
Turn on the inside light at night so work crews or rescuers can see you.
If stranded in a remote area, stomp large block letters in an open area spelling out HELP or SOS and line with rocks or tree limbs to attract the attention of rescue personnel who may be surveying the area by airplane.
Leave the car and proceed on foot - if necessary - once the blizzard passes.

Lemon Grass Organic
User reviews
Average customer review: | Write a review
Love it! (Tuesday, May 06, 2014)
Lemongrass is a nutritional powerhouse. I brew this with hibiscus and olive leaf tea every morning using boiling water; when the water has cooled to 185, I stir in some green tea and brew 3 more minutes. I drink this all day long. The acidity of the hibiscus balances the bitterness of the olive leaf and green teas, and the lemongrass adds brightness. Delicious.
Lemon Grass Organic (Sunday, October 09, 2011)
I love lemon grass, and this organic tea is particularly rich!
Lemongrass tea - dried (Saturday, November 06, 2010)
We are enjoying the lemongrass in dried form. It is wonderful brewed with Ginger root and cloves. The dried form is not as fragrant as fresh, but the superior shelf life convinced me to buy it. I can share the larger quantity with our daughter in college. Overall, very satisfied with this product!
Ok lemon grass (Tuesday, January 27, 2009)
I have faith in Teas, etc., so I know that this lemon grass is clean and good, but I do find it a bit lacking in aroma and taste. It is good to add to teas, but I do wish it were stronger and more fragrant.
Simply Lemongrass (Tuesday, December 09, 2008)
This lemongrass tea is awesome. There is no 'stale' or artificial taste that some lemongrass teas seem to have. Excellent for blending with other teas.

The Miami Dolphins quarterback situation has been the continual talk of camp, OTA's, free agency, the draft, pretty much every season since Jay Fiedler was anointed Dave Wannstedts guy. This year, the media microscope is magnified ten times more. The center of that is the trio of David Garrard, Matt Moore, and rookie Ryan Tannehill. Yesterday, the rookie got his shot to play with the number 1's. Not because it was his turn, but because he earned it.
Tannehill has impressed everyone from coaches to fans after his two day holdout. His play against the 2nd and 3rd team defenses finally gave him a 16 play shot with the first team unit. Most will want to look deep into those plays and dissect his ability or inability to impress. The reality is this. It doesn't matter how good or bad he played in that first go around. What matters is that he has shown enough to get the chance.
When asked about the possibility of becoming the teams starter sooner rather than later, Tannehill calmly said, "I want to be the leader". Tannehill went on to say that he is competing for the opportunity to be "the" guy in Miami. Most figure he will be the 3rd QB on the roster and that real battle lies above him where David Garrard and Matt Moore are receiving the 160 or so offensive reps a day this training camp.
Back on the "On the Fin Side" season wrap-up show on Finsradio.net, I very clearly stated during that April broadcast that Moore and Garrard are not competing for 1st place but rather their jobs. Ben Volin of the Palm Beach Post said as much yesterday (sorry Ben but I got you on that one). With both of the top two QB's possessing a contract that is not fully guaranteed, both veterans would have their salaries guaranteed fully if they are on the team come week 1. With Ryan's game play not only improving but standing out, Joe Philbin may decide that Tannehill is just as good an option at number 2 than the loser of the battle at the top.
In which case, the Dolphins may have to make a tough decision and send one of those guys packing.
On the surface that seems like a bad situation but the truth is it should be a glaring endorsement of Tannehill's progress and what the team expects from him. Consider the dynamics of where the team is heading and you really won't ask the question should one of these guys be cut. If the Dolphins get off to a bad start and are sitting a 0-4 after the first month, do you try and reverse a season that for the most part is already lost by handing the team over to the loser of Garrard or Moore? Or do you hand the keys to the rookie and let the Ryan Tannehill era begin?
That same argument goes into play later in the season if the team is effectively eliminated from the playoffs. At some point, if you are not competing for a post-season birth then you have to see what Tannehill can do on Sundays. Otherwise you are entering next season with a QB who is still a rookie on the field.
About the only reason to keep one of the veterans as a back-up is the worry of injury to your starter. Should you lose one of those two players in the first month or even the second and your team is playing well and actually chasing a post-season birth, do you want to hand over that train to the kid for Texas? This will be the very issue the coaches will need to make by months end.
The roster is full of talented players who could use a year or two to truly develop. The NFL is not a place that allows teams to cull young stars outside of a practice team invitation. The final 53 man roster is so important that all players need to contribute in some way to the team on Sundays. The inactive list is usually reserved for players who don't fit completely into that weeks gameplan or are injured. So keeping a 3rd QB on the roster takes away a valuable spot somewhere else.
Many fans will tend to lean on the side of caution, saying it's better to have a proper proven QB as the back-up just in case the injury scenario takes a bite. Truthfully, I would personally agree with that unless that 2nd QB is not head and shoulders better than the guy you are keeping at three. In other words, if Ryan Tannehill proves that he is only slightly behind either David Garrard or Matt Moore then why keep three?
With all the bi-lines yet to be played out, there is no simple answer when it comes to the QB position and the final roster. It is something however that is going to be looked at a lot closer as we inch to the final weeks of pre-season and near the start of September's opening weekend. It was a foregone conclusion that the battle between Garrard and Moore was the battle to watch in camp, now it very well may become a battle between one of those two and a rookie named Ryan Tannehill for that second spot. And possibly a veterans career in Miami.

The Codex Climaci Rescriptus
Using a new technology developed by the Green Collection in collaboration with Oxford University, scholars have uncovered the earliest surviving New Testament written in Palestinian Aramaic -a dialect of Jesus' household language- found on recycled parchment under a layer in this rare manuscript.
Museum of the Bible:
Museum of the Bible exists to invite people to engage with the Bible through traveling exhibits of biblical artifacts from the Green Collection in the United States and around the world, academic research conducted through the Green Scholars Initiative, and an international museum opening in the Spring of 2017 in Washington, D.C. that is dedicated to a scholarly approach of the history, story, and impact of the Bible.
The Green Collection
When Steve Green, President of national retailer Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. and Chairman of Museum of the Bible, purchased his first biblical artifact in November 2009, he never expected to assemble in less than three years what is now one of the world's largest private collections of rare biblical texts and artifacts.
Known as the Green Collection, the compilation of more than 40,000 antiquities includes some of the rarest and most valuable biblical and classical pieces or items ever assembled under one roof. A portion of this collection is currently featured in the U.S. via the traveling exhibition Passages. It has also been featured internationally via the Verbum Domini exhibit.
The collection will ultimately find a home in Washington D.C. at an international Bible museum that will enable visitors to experience it year-round, with a goal of opening in 2017. The international museum will also house the Green Scholars Initiative, which brings together established and young scholars to pioneer groundbreaking research on items in the collection.

Mirth Control: Contraception Is a Laughing Matter
An excerpt from Finding the Doorbell: Sexual Satisfaction for the Long Haul
Voices of Experience
Cindy: "The windsock-like female condom has two rings—an outer ring and a floating ring that act like a diaphragm with a skirt once in place. The one time I tried it, insertion was like the diaphragm cram fest but when I stood up with the rig in place, it hung halfway to my knees, swinging like the Liberty Bell. I recovered from the shock of discovering that I had an exceptionally short vagina, and regained focus enough to begin my steamy walk to the bed. 'Fwap fwap fwap' it went as it swung against my inner thighs. My husband and I both realized that this would not be one of the sessions where the stars aligned, the skies opened up, and we were transported to some other dimension. This would be a science experiment. Usually lubrication is provided by the woman, but with the female condom hanging to my knees, artificial lubrication was required. Fortunately, they send a tube of the stuff along with the condom. We put in a squirt and gave it a go. The lube ran out quickly. Another squirt and gave it a go until it got squeaky. My husband decided he should just hold the lube tube for the sake of continuity. Squirt, squirt, squirt—another go. I started to laugh, 'I feel like the Tin Man with you and your oil can.' He was not amused, 'Stay focused, stay focused!' Needless to say, I got very little out of that session, and my husband, though he managed some semblance of closure to the event, admitted he felt like 'the boy in the plastic bubble.'"
Edie: "Most of my young adult life I used oral contraception, as in, 'Just say no.' Given my limited number of shots on goal combined with a reproductive system that conveniently went dormant with the stress of athletic competition, birth control never dominated my thoughts. I certainly never mastered it, and in fact one of my greatest blessings was a product of the Conception Accelerator (the diaphragm). Apparently I missed one or more of the seven steps of highly effective diaphragm use."

"Just as new to me was the eerily beautiful medieval music performed by the vocal and instrumental trio Trefoil...I could hear each voice distinctly as it passed, in clear, otherworldly harmonies."
- The New York Times
"Countertenors Drew Minter, Mark Rimple and Soprano Marcia Young have appeared with leading early music ensembles around the country, and the sounds they make are both hearty and ethereal."
- The Washington Post
"The ensemble Trefoil re-creates the exotic and mysterious world of late 14th-century French music... Trefoil's sensitive interpretationsand choices of performing medium reveal much of the logic in this music...the sheer beauty of sound is reward enough."
- Early Music America Magazine
"Trefoil's performances of 14th-century music, in particular their masterful and exquisite presentation of the highly complex ars subtilior repertory, have been among thegreatest highlights of our early music series, Concerts at The Cloisters." - Nancy Wu, The Metropolitan Museum of Art
"Trefoil not only sings the music with accuracy but also colors and inflects it with meaning that takes it out of pure abstraction ... - The Philadelphia Inquirer

Ya, the UK is cool. In 5 weeks i get to move to las vegas due to re-assignment. I found out an easier way to get your pic. Go save a pic from some site on to your comp. Open the pic with paintbrush and go to "image" and then to "stretch and skew" and adjust it there. It should work........I'm still not a computer genious
hey welcome.
You will have to find a pic on the net, and it must be 60x60 maximum. look about other forums and just copy and paste it on to your computer then wbb allows you to browse for it and upload it.
if you find a pic that is too big or you still cannot do it shot me an email with it and I will add it for you.
