HouseKeeping Garett Svensen, Production Editor So there’s been a bit of interest in the student paper, but it looks like both Andy and I missed many of the inqueries. Being out of the office quite a bit, I should probably lay out a bit of our process to help out the inquiring and interested to meet with one of us editors.

The first method of contacting us, the one I feel is most effective, most of the time, is to simply email us at news@cncsu.ca. If it’s a submission, the less formatting the better, we reset the formatting when we move it over to the magazine. I’ve heard a few people might be having problems with attachments, though. If that happens, shoot us an email anyway minus the attachment and we’ll work something out. The second would be to stop by in person at, but there’s no guarantee that

Certain Hobbies May Lead to Demonic Possession An article that appeared on The Huffington Post website on 17 August, 2012, titled “‘Doorways To Demonic Possession’: Fundamentalists Allegedly Pamphlet Comic-Con With Evil ‘Hobbies’ List” has turned out to be nothing more than a publicity stunt. The original article claimed that “Eastern religions, yoga, vegatarianism and meditation are just a few of
the so-called “hobbies” that may lead to demonic possession.” Attached to the article is a picture that lists hobbies and activities that are deemed to cause ‘demonic possession.’ Some of the hobbies on the list are as ridiculous as “Cyberpunk Culture,” to more sinister items such as “Postmodernism.”
Although, the article was updated on 17 September, 2012 and the now infamous list has been revealed to be a “promotional tool for Cult Jam Productions film “Ivy League Exorcist: The Bobby Jindal Story.”

Money was a reoccurring topic of the discussion. According to Mungal, affordability is the number one concern of students today. The adjusted minimum wage of today is equivalently lower than in 1970. Students are facing high interest rates and substantial loan debt. Michelle

Unfortunately, this book feels much more as a means to gain notoriety on the part of the proprietors, rather than a criticism of the proposed pipeline. Furthermore, all proceeds go towards funding any legal repercussions that may come of the more illicitly illegal actions taken by some parties that were involved with this title. This is a shame, because it could have been a worthwhile endeavor.
It is noteworthy that Perret’s employment breakdown is as follows, “> [Greater than] 500 jobs in northern BC in operations including direct, indirect and induced. These include ~ 80 jobs (including PG office) plus 100+ marine jobs, plus all of the jobs required to support those jobs [sic].” By bracketing off the greater thans, and pluses, this gives one the impression The main issues that are common that roughly 680 jobs would be among the residents of Northern B.C. available to residents of Northern B.C., seem to be in the areas of job security, but according to the “Socio-Economic how the environment will be affected Benefits Fact Sheet,” only “561 jobs in by this project, and the safety measures British Columbia” would be “directly taken by Enbridge Northern Gateway and through economic spin-offs” be (E.N.G.) to ensure that if a rupture does approximately available. This is a occur, the damage to the surrounding difference of about 119 positions, most environment, and safety of rural of which were probably only part-time residents is as minimal as possible. anyway.

The Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline project officially began in 2008 with Aboriginal and public consultation, which has been met with opposition, primarily by both of these groups. An example of one such opposition can be found in the book, The EnPipe Line: 70,000+ Kilometres of Poetry Written in Resistance to the Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline Proposal.
In terms of job sustainability, approximately “62,700 person-years [2,000-3,000 directly employed during the peak] of construction employment will be created,” according to the E.N.G. “Pipeline Construction Job Description Catalogue,” which is “intended to be a guideline only.” This is only for the construction phase of E.N.G.’s plan. Once the proposed pipeline is complete, this same guide states that it is estimated that “1,150 long-term positions will be created to operate and maintain the marine terminal, the pipelines and associated facilities.”
Emergency Response Plan—Detailed 1)Remote valves to immediately shut system down. 2) Detailed Plans for access (depending on time of year, it will change/co-ops equipment, First Responders). 3)Plans are tested (desktop, actual in field, supervisor) [sic]. Perret also assures those who have concerns that these plans are heavily detailed, but feels that they could be too daunting for the average person to read through them all. One of the most shocking aspects of E.N.G. is that they are fully prepared to take full accountability in case a rupture in this project does occur. While this may not amount to much more than a $20 million fine and no bans placed on E.N.G. to operate, it would be nice to see a company taking responsibility for negligent business practices in the off chance that something like a pipe bursts open due to safety regulations being ignored.
While all of the major concerns that have been raised have been addressed in this article, one has to wonder just how much input do those that are According to Michelle Perret, There is good news though, in fundamentally opposed to this project E.N.G.’s interest in a Northern regards minimal environmental impact, have?

The German news magazine, Der Spiegel, recently published an interesting article about how thoughtful, quiet people are too often pushed aside in the labour market: Triumph der Unauffaelligen: Warum Introvierte zu oft unterschaetzt werden (“Triumph of the Unobtrusive: Why the Introverted Are Too Often Undervalued”, Aug. 20, 2012, pp. 102-110.) Families assume that introverted children will have a harder time in life, and employers and colleagues in the workplace assume a quiet individual is not as bright as a loud and decisiveseeming extrovert. Yet, the article points out, it was the overbearing, loud-mouthed, know-it-all braggarts who, through force of personality and seemingly decisive daring, brought the financial institutions and the big banks of Wall Street that they directed to crash into a state of near ruin in 2007 and 2008, causing the Great Recession. Introverted people take a cooler look at the actual facts and figures and tend not to take unusual risks, the article says.

Remembering Rick Torch A. Warren Johnson, Contributor I have recently discovered that a local underground writer, Rick Torch has passed away. To the best of my knowledge, Torch has only ever published one chapbook, Lust Lodge. The first and only edition was published in 1973 by Pulp Press, but has only recently received somewhat of a notorious reputation. While Torch did not receive a formal education, it was clear that he was heavily influenced by the works of D.H. Lawrence when he began writing Lust Lodge from his word choice such as “the centre of her desire,” or “his manhood grew.”
Page 7
The Confluence - Arts
From what I have been able to gather, Lust Lodge was initially intended to be a novel that examined—and in some cases, push— the (acceptable) boundaries of what is known as the ‘harlequin romance novels’ that have been popularized by such authors as Danielle Steele, or Nora Roberts.
One of the ways I found that Torch pushed the envelope in Lust Lodge was the inclusion of two brief study guides geared towards student deconstructions of the existing chapbook. One of the more controversial questions being, “are Tad and Barbra siblings?” By asking this, Torch invites students to step outside their comfort zones, and analyze the text as a representation of taboos that are commonly upheld by the social norms.
It was McKinnon who sent Torch’s limited manuscript for Lust Lodge to Pulp Press, and it was this manuscript that was subsequently release in a limited run of chapbooks, which was the third volume of the Pulp Content. Even though Lust Lodge is the only release by Torch, his passing is a great loss to the writing community of Prince George, and we can only hope that one day another writer will be able to pick up this insightful torch.
But, as most things in life, Torch was unable to complete a full manuscript of Lust Lodge, primarily due a heavy financial loss that he incurred, although, the cause of this loss has never been made public. In late 1972, Torch formed a friendship with local poet, Barry McKinnon, short fiction author, John Harris, and nationally acclaimed author Brian Fawcett. According to McKinnon, “I saw a lot of value and potential in Lust Lodge, so I decided to help him [Torch] out a bit.”

Horoscopes You weigh the debate. Nothing is one sided with the person who likes to see through feelings to make an opinion. Also ruled by Venus this sign is the ‘partner’ sign who does well in business partnership, people, and debates.
You are stubborn, practical, and good providing your own material needs. The things you tend to enjoy in your life have to do with beauty, nature, and all things loving.
You are direct. You influence behaviors based on your reactions because you are hyperaware of other’s feelings. Your strong suit is being a Guru and giving advice to your friends.
You love to talk. Witty, intelligent, racy, and flirtatious. Members of this sign have a duality in their thinking habits as if they are seeing separate parts of a debate instead of the debate as a whole.
You ask questions. How? Why? When? All of these insights make humankind think about the assumptions and belief systems they have used. The question is the key to an answer and you know how to deduce your side.
You are sensitive. Within you is the capacity to read others feelings in a direct manner, and to soothe them to a deeper state of relaxation. The hard part is dealing with your own emotions.
You have the answer. Humble, wise, old. Most Caps have goals that are very big and it is as if you are climbing a mountain. You require alone time and would at times rather please others through service than let them help you.
You love to be dramatic. If all the world’s a stage, you want to play all the parts. It is your habit to lead, and make others follow, but when the fierce lion turns to a small kitten you can guide even the most touchy creatures.
You change societies. The status quo is never good enough for this character as there is always more to the story and always something wrong with the world. Humanitarian, in the eclectic sense.
You are analytical. You like to piece art and life together and you see as if it was a puzzle all fitting in perfectly. You are the second earth sign and therefore you have a knack at production. Critical towards all, including yourself.
You are a dreamer. Sometimes lost in the depths of the sea, you tend to pick up other peoples energies and react to the situation. Although you are sensitive, you bounce back every time like a bouncy ball.

You are an individual. Fiery, passionate, and prone to anger. New ideas, brute force, and the strength of the planet of mars strengthen ideas of war and protection of the home base.
