Teams will receive five pro coach sessions on Saturdays at their game time. The sessions will consist of 45 minutes of technical training followed by a game.
U7 to U9
Teams have two pre-season pro coach sessions. During the season, teams will be contacted by a club administrator to sign up for an additional three sessions. These will be on turf fields at UBC or Jericho.Teams will sign up for a time on the same night they regularly train to minimize disruption to everyone's schedules. These sessions will see a Vancouver United Staff Coach working from a club curriculum-based practice plan. Team coaches will run the actual practice but will be supported by the professional coach. Teams will get the practice plan ahead of time so they can familiarize themselves with it.
Teams have one pre-season pro coach session and three practices run by a staff coach at their regularly scheduled practices during the season. THey also get support at two games that wil see the staff coach provide ideas and a practice plan for what the team needs to work on.
U11 & U12 Gold Teams
Pro coach support at these levels is the same as the U7-U9 teams. Teams will participate in weekly Collective Practicecs that will see teams of the same age and gender train trogether on the same field from a practice plan. They will be coached by their team coach, but supported by a professional coach at all these sessions.

This years festival was on a Friday/Saturday (September 16th and 17th). I went along on the Saturday and got there around opening time with RPM Beer. We had a bit of a walk around and a chat to some vendors before sitting at a table close (but not too close) to the main stage. All the tables with umbrellas were taken but there was cloud cover every so often and the event organisers supplied sun cream.
First beer of the festival was a Pirate Life Golden Era Golden Ale
A bit later on other people we knew turned up and we had a table of people coming and going as they went to stalls to get more refreshments and food. It was an awesome vibe, friendly people everywhere. But you often get that at good beer festivals.
Brouhaha Brewery are on fire these days.
The beer and cider selection at Beer InCider seems to grow each year, and this year was no exception. With over 40 different companies bringing their beverages to the event there was something for everyone. Top picks for me were the Finger Lime IPA by Brouhaha, the Hop, Skip, Jump IPA by Aether Brewing Company and the Milk and Two Pineapples by Brewcult/Newstead. Brewski had New Zealand IPA tent setup which was a pretty awesome idea.
For those that don't like beer (or can't drink it), there was a huge selection of ciders, mead, and an espresso martini stall as well. It may have been more beer focused during the first year but it's really an event for everyone now.
Mac n cheese, chips and chorizo. Perfect combo.
For lunch I visited a food stand called Mac from Way Back and mac n cheese with chips, chorizo and bbq sauce. Pretty much a perfect combination of food. Others on the table had burgers (that looks amazing), chicken wings, sweet potato fries and Mexican food. Everything looked awesome!
Newstead Brewing Co Tokyo Faceplant!
In previous years everything has been bought with "Bob", which is the Beer InCider currency. This year however, they used a cashless Currency Card system by Glownet Event Technology. I (like others) was sceptical but it worked out really well. It took a little bit of time to put money on the card initially, and when it had to be refilled but it was much better than walking around with a pocket full of tickets. And it also allowed the vendors to charge whatever they wanted for their wares, instead of rounding up or down to the nearest two dollars.
On the money front, I feel everything was really well priced too. Got great value for money with the small tasters being between $2 and $3.50 and the larger sizes being good value for money. Each stall was able to tell you how much was left on your card after the purchase too which made it really transparent. My only change would be to allow us to buy a card before the even with money already on it. That way we don't have to wait in line. Or sell the tickets with a pre-paid Currency Card.
I'm not much into the bands that were playing, but I found myself tapping my feet quite frequently. I think if they did the same event but with death metal and progressive metal bands I'd be in heaven, haha.
Thanks for reading, and thank you again to the Beer InCider organisers. You've put on a ripper of a festival and I look forward to next year.

God of Muslims is God of all
By Maulana Akhlaq Husain Qasmi
Brahminism in India had divided god in such a way that, according to them, god had produced them (Brahmins) from a part of his head and rest of the creations came into existence from others of his parts. But Qur'an said 'No, it is not so. Real God is God of every one and every body. He is God of the whole world. He has conveyed this message through his Prophet who is a bliss for the whole world.
Christians believed in God who was father of Mary's son and who had delegated his son equipped with every thing. Progenies of Hazrat Ibrahim (Quraish community of Makkah) had created the concept of great god and small, subordinate gods among whom they had divided themselves. Every tribe worshipped and prayed to its own subordinate god.
Brahminism in India had divided god in such a way that, according to them, god had produced them (Brahmins) from a part of his head and rest of the creations came into existence from others of his parts. But Qur'an said 'No, it is not so. Real God is God of every one and every body. He is God of the whole world. He has conveyed this message through his Prophet who is a bliss for the whole world.
God of the whole world listens to the requests and prayers of all, whether oppressors or the oppressed, believers or non-believers (Holy Hadiths). In Madina when a Jew was killed by a Muslim, the holy Prophet got the murderer Muslim killed in punishment. When some Muslims expressed their dislike over this, he said: I have the greatest responsibility of implementing the agreement and to administer justice to the oppressed and wronged people in my capacity as the head and ruler of Madina. (Hadith). The most respectable person of Muslim society, Siddiq Akbar (Abu Bakr) once slapped a petty date-seller who was a Jew. He got angry because being in a Muslim country, the Jew was saying that his prophet Moosa (Moses) was the greatest among all prophets of God. The Holy Prophet, on hearing the complaint of this Jew, summoned Abu Bakr and ordered him to make amends with the Jew otherwise he will be punished.
Also, the Holy Prophet has clearly presented the Qur'anic law in respect of the honour and sanctity of the religious sentiments of every community and nation. The Qur'an has ordered the Muslims not to utter any disrespectful words against any one who, according to his religion, invokes the help and blessings of any other person or power lest he should say any thing unjust or disrespectful to their only God. In that case the entire responsibility for all that will be theirs (of Muslims).
Thereafter, giving the example of parents, he said: Do not say any thing disrespectful, or bad to your parents. People asked him as to who is there who says any thing disrespectful to his parents. In reply, he said: If you say something bad to other's parents, he will retaliate by saying the same disrespectful things or words to your parents. In that case you will be responsible for any thing disrespectful being said to your parents, as if you have abused and insulted your parents. (Holy Hadith).
This is the belief of every body's God. If ever the holy Prophet lost his temper on any one of his enemies and if, overcome by anger, he happened to curse him, every body's God conveyed His message to him:
'O Muhammad, you have no right to say any thing to him in this matter. If their God so desires, He may shower His mercy on them after guiding them to the right path, or He may punish them in any way He likes because they are oppressors and cruel people. (Ale-Imran:129)
In the battle of Uhud when he was injured by his enemies, he had uttered this much only: How that nation can succeed who injured its Prophet who gives a call to it to come towards God. On this one sentence only, the command was given 'Islam preaches to have faith and belief in every body's God and to follow the religion of everybody's God. Every Muslim should act upon and follow the command of God and practice patience and tolerance in the freedom of religious beliefs, respect of religious beliefs and religious affairs.
He should see and consider how everybody's God is treating His creations. He is rewarding bad people also together with good people. He is not depriving the disobedient people of His mercies and bounties in spite of their disobedience. In this connection, Maulana Ashraf Thanwi's successor, the great Mufti of Pakistan, Mufti Muhammad Shafi has mentioned this holy Hadith: 'O ye people, you don't judge the sins of My slaves as if you yourselves are their masters and creators'. Thereafter, the Mufti has quoted the following couplet of Hafiz Shirazi:
'O Sheikh, sin is the mirror or reflection of God's pardon and bliss. Therefore do not treat the sinners with contempt'.

According to the research, nearly 40% of patients suffering from lung cancer has learned his diagnosis when the disease is already in the third stage, ie when it is already too late.
Lung cancer is rarely show symptoms and it is difficult to notice at an early stage.
Fortunately, there are 7 signs that indicate lung cancer and may help in the diagnosis before it's too late.
1. Persistent cough
Pay attention to the cough. If the cough disappeared after one or two weeks, that means you have survived a respiratory infection or cold. However, if you suffer from the same cough even after two weeks, it may be indicative of lung cancer.
If you cough up mucus, you should visit your doctor who will refer you to do the appropriate tests and examinations of the lungs and chest, such as X-rays. If you notice some changes, such as a cough accompanied by hoarseness, coughing up blood or too much mucus, then you need as soon as possible to visit your doctor.
2. Shortness of breath
Shortness of breath is another symptom of lung cancer and it may be caused by fluid in the chest, as a result of lung tumors. Another possible reason for the shortness of breath is narrowing (lock) of the airways.
Therefore, if during the performance of certain daily activities, and feel that you lack air, for example, when purchasing groceries, climbing stairs, it is advisable to visit your doctor.
3. Pain in the chest, back or shoulders
Although the pain caused in these areas is not often associated with lung cancer may result from metastases in breast, lung, or enlarged lymph nodes or ribs.It does not matter whether you are feeling healthy, strong and inert, it is essential that you have to visit your doctor to be sure what's going on with your health.
4. Wheezing
If you notice a whistling sound while breathing, see your doctor. However, you should not panic, because such noises occur when the airways are tighten or inflamed.Whistling may be a sign of something harmless, and if persists, then you should definitely see a doctor.
5. Weight Loss
When you have lung cancer, it may cause a sudden drop in body weight. This is because cancer cells use the energy that the body receives nourishment.
6. Bone pain
If you feel severe pain in the bones or any part of the back at any time during the day or night, then you should not ignore this symptom and you need to consult with your doctor.
7. Continuous headache
If you constantly feel a headache, then you may be dealing with lung cancer that has spread to the brain. The occurrence of headaches will always be associated with metastases in the brain. This may occur if the lung tumor pressure main vein that brings blood from the upper body to the heart.
How can lung cancer be detected at an early stage?
X-rays can't detect lung cancer on time, but there is a CT scan (computed tomography) which may assist in the process of discovering hidden diseases on time and reduce the possibility of death when it comes to lung cancer.
The conclusion is that we should not wait for some sign to appear to visit doctor, go to the X-ray or CT scan . Any person between 55 and 80 years of age and those who were active smokers in the last 15 years should have the tests done as soon as possible, in order to prevent lung cancer.

Earlier this week, director Gary Ross' adaptation of "The Hunger Games" received a release date of March 23, 2012. With the roll-out of the film being a little over a year away, we expect to hear casting decisions any day now, and as "Harry Potter" and "Twilight" near their final installments, the 'Hunger Games' trilogy is being eyed as the next Young Adult phenomenon, and it's hoped it could launch a group of stars in the same way that those earlier franchises did. There are a number of key roles in the franchise, but the one that's attracted the most attention so far is the female lead, Katniss Everdeen. Now that the film has had its date set on the calendar, we thought we'd have a look at some possible contenders for the role, as well as some other key figures that Ross will be casting.
If you haven't had the chance to pick up the books, they take place in a not-too-distant future, where the United States has been divided into 12 Districts, all ruled by the ominously named Capitol. Each year, as a reminder to the Districts of how powerless they are under Capitol rule, two teenage representatives are picked via lottery from each district to compete in the Hunger Games, a nationally televised fight to the death between what are essentially children, where the last one standing is victor. The story is told through the experiences of Katniss Everdeen, a sixteen-year-old girl from the desperately poor District 12, who volunteers to replace her younger sister as one of the selected representatives, and whose casting is crucial for the film to work. While the comparisons to 'Twilight,' the last teen literary phenomenon, are inevitable (particularly due to the central love triangle), the two heroines couldn't be more different. Katniss needs to be played by an actress who is physically strong, intelligent, and can display a vast emotional range; there's no hair-chewing, nail-biting angst à la Kristen Stewart. Ross has yet to confirm any narrowing down of the field, ahead of the shortlist story that's bound to appear in the next few months, so basically any female actress between the age of 14 and 25 has a shot at this point. We've picked a few of who could be among the most likely contenders.
Bella Heathcote
Why She Could Do It: Heathcote is probably the least well-known of the actresses here, but she's been making some serious waves in the last few months, and is clearly a star on the rise. She was recently one of a number of names rumored for the lead in "Snow White and the Huntsman," although Kristen Stewart emerged as the frontrunner this week. She has a small role in Andrew Niccol's sci-fi thriller "Now" and her first lead in David Chase's "Twylight Zones," so she's climbing the rungs at surprising speed. She also just scored a role in "Cogan's Trade" alongside Brad Pitt. Not too shabby.
Why She Might Not: She's something of an unknown quantity at this point, to be frank, so it's hard to say whether or not she's right for the role. Katniss is a tough customer, and Heathcote strikes us as rather delicate. Her casting in "Cogan's Trade" may disprove that (although it should be said that, as much as we love Andrew Dominik, he doesn't write killer female roles, really). Heathcote's going places, but she strikes us as wrong for the part.
Lyndsy Fonseca
Why She Could Do It: Of the names mentioned here, Fonseca probably shares the closest physical resemblance to the description of Katniss with her olive skin and dark hair. She proved in "Kick Ass" and, most recently, the CW show "Nikita" that she can, well, kick ass harder than most of her peers, but without letting her performance slip: on "Nikita," she doesn't let Maggie Q's titular character outshine her. She'd probably fit right in with an action tentpole like the 'Hunger Games' trilogy, and she's both recognizable enough, and surely cheap enough, to headline a franchise that's trying to keep the costs fairly low.
Why She Might Not: Fonseca is, after all, mainly a television star with no leading roles yet to her name. It's a big job to be handed over to someone who hasn't yet proved that they can carry a film on their own — not to mention that her commitment to "Nikita" may be a problem for future films, if not the first one. Plus, at 24, she could be a little old to be taking on the role of a 16-year-old for a film trilogy that could end when she's almost 30. But hey, Hollywood knows how to mask age well, and, considering the recent furor over MTV's "Skins," it's entirely possible that the characters could be aged up a little, to tone down the tumult of underage murder otherwise heading to the screens.
Ophelia Lovibond
Why She Could Do It: She was one of the many names thrown out for the female lead of Marc Webb's "Spider-Man" earlier in the year, before the role went to Emma Stone. No sweat off her back: she had decent parts in Britflicks "Nowhere Boy" and "220.127.116.11," and made her Hollywood debut in "No Strings Attached," before lining up a small role in "Mr. Popper's Penguins" later this year. Her face is out there, for sure, and like Heathcote, her name has already been thrown around for a lead role in a major tentpole. She also looks the part of Katniss as much as anyone here.
Why She Might Not: Like Fonseca, she's also 24, but she admittedly looks far younger — 16 shouldn't be too much of a stretch. More insurmountable might be the path from English rose to Appalachian badass. She's also leaning towards comedy at present, without a ton of action credits so far, and considering the grueling action of "The Hunger Games," that may be a factor. Also, the bangs would have to go…
Saoirse Ronan
Why She Could Do It: Well, first of all, she's the perfect age to play Katniss and carry her through to the finish, without requiring a 'Twilight'-style one-film-a-year schedule. She's got a tremendous dramatic range, with one Oscar nomination already under her belt, and she's turning to action for the first time shortly, in Joe Wright's "Hanna," and looks like she's pulled it off. Of all the mentioned girls, she looks the least like Katniss naturally, but with some dyed hair and a braid, it's not going to be a stretch; besides, surely it's more important to cast the right actor, rather than the right face. She's also the biggest name here, meaning Lionsgate would surely feel confident in keeping her in there.
Why She Might Not: She's already super busy with other projects, including "The Hobbit" — though it's unknown how big or small her role will be — and she's undoubtedly the most expensive name on the list, which is probably not what Lionsgate will be going for. And, while it's unclear if the audience is as loud and vociferous as the 'Twilight' one (we're sure we're about to find out in the comments section below), the visual differences may be too great for the fanbase.
Kaya Scodelario
Why She Could Do It: Another actress of appropriate age, Scodelario doesn't have many credits to her name, but she's certainly made an impression in a fast time. Starting out on "Skins" in the U.K., before moving on to a teeny-tiny role in "Clash of the Titans," she's scored her first big role as Catherine Earnshaw in Andrea Arnold's much-anticipated version of "Wuthering Heights." Something like 'Hunger Games' could turn her into a massive star if she proves she can handle art fare and a massive studio project. Plus, she's hinted she already received the script (along with Fonseca), so we imagine that she's being considered.
Why She Might Not: She looks a little fragile to play Katniss, but she could train and pack on some weight; unlike the porcelain Heathcote, there's an almost feral quality to her. All in all, she's probably the most on-paper perfect choice for Katniss, and one we firmly endorse.
Hailee Steinfeld
Why She Could Do It: She's coming off her extraordinary performance, and the subsequent Oscar buzz surrounding "True Grit,"; it's one of the most remarkable debut performances in some time, and after picking up an Oscar nomination this week, she's fresh in studio executives' mind. She was fantastic as a tough child hunting her father's killer in the film, proving she has a flair for drama and can create a strong female persona like Katniss, while she can clearly handle the physical demands of the role as well. At present, she doesn't have any projects coming up, leaving her wide open for a trilogy like this.
Why She Might Not: At only 14, she's way too young to play Katniss right now — while it's possible for the character to be aged down, it'd have a knock on effect on the others around her — you couldn't pair Steinfeld with, say, Alex Pettyfer without it coming off as deeply creepy. And, yes, maybe Steinfeld could play older, but it might be kind of weird to see Steinfeld be an "older sister" figure to a girl only two or three years younger than her (Katniss has a little sister Prim and mentors a young girl, Rue, in the arena).
Honorable Mentions: Another youngster, 13-year-old Chloe Moretz, has publicly expressed her interest in playing Katniss, but there's the same problem of age and mentoring that Steinfeld would face. Nina Dobrev could be another television choice, but she hasn't shown the range Fonseca has, and her time commitment to the ever-popular "The Vampire Diaries" is pretty serious. Imogen Poots has gotten popular with the studios, but she's probably too fragile to take the role, and her schedule's filling up pretty fast as it is. Lucy Hale of "Pretty Little Liars" is a little too conventionally beautiful perhaps, and hasn't shown the same acting prowess as some of her counterparts. Camilla Belle could also do it, but she's pretty busy and hasn't demonstrated much range yet. Both Felicity Jones and Elizabeth Olsen just broke out of Sundance as ones to watch, so maybe the studios will want to capitalize on that success.
Either way, as of last month, there is no frontrunner , and it's important to remember that the studio could well end up going for far less well-known names than any of the above. The announcement should be here soon, as 'Hunger Games' looks to start production in early spring. Here are a few more guesses as to who could play supporting characters; we'd love to hear who you'd want to see cast as well.
More Characters
Peeta Mellark — Peeta is the blonde-haired, blue-eyed companion to Katniss in the arena, so there are a few popular choices already out there for the male lead. The previously mentioned Alex Pettyfer first springs to mind, with his star set to rise next year with both "I Am Number Four" and "Beastly" coming out. However, he's apparently being courted aggressively for Screen Gems' similar "Mortal Instruments" series, and probably couldn't do both. It might be better to go with someone like Josh Hutcherson, who proved he could act in "The Kids are All Right,", and just missed out on "Spider-Man," or Hunter Parrish, who has long been a staple on the hit show "Weeds." They could also use someone fairly unknown, like Lucas Till, who looks to break out of the Disney mold in the next few years with a role in "X-Men: First Class" as Havoc. Not a blonde, but Paul Wesley, another 'Vampire Diaries' alum, could also be a good pick.
Gale Hawthorne — Gale is Katniss' other man, her best friend from childhood. He's tall, dark and handsome, bringing to mind names like Ben Barnes or Gaspard Ulliel of "Hannibal Rising," although both are certainly too old by now. They could also use any of the "Gossip Girl" guys — Ed Westwick, comes to mind, even though he's looking at more serious fare. Drew Roy, who has had mostly small roles in films like "Secretariat," also looks to graduate from Disney TV and onto the big screen. Even Taylor Lautner could play it, but he's too big a star to accept such a small role (especially in the first book), and one so close to Jacob in 'Twilight.'
Haymitch Abernathy — As the drunken, middle-aged mentor to Katniss and Peeta, Haymitch could be played by a variety of great actors. Big actors like Robert Downey, Jr. and Johnny Depp have been thrown out there by fans, but there's no way the studio would consider such big stars as anything other than a pipe dream. In reality, looking to television is probably a good call: actors like Hugh Laurie, Timothy Olyphant or Bryan Cranston could all be plausible.
Primrose Everdeen — Katniss's younger sister needs to be the opposite of her — small and fragile with a naive demeanor. Elle Fanning could, and should be the first choice on producers' minds, but those two younger girls mentioned for Katniss — Moretz and Steinfeld — could also be great as Primrose. Prim's role is small in the first book, but she gets more time by the third installment "Mockingjay," so it could be a good move for Fanning as she expands her repertoire, and gets a little older.

So I am sure you have noticed for sometime a whole bunch of blow up tubes on Corniche, we've been asking ourselves the question whats is it for a while now so thought we'd check it out. It's called Aquafun and is a blown up water park and outdoor recreational playground... oh and it's a lot of fun. How it works you pay 20DHS for entry which includes 2 tokens and then just like a carnival you buy tokens for individual rides. We chose the big slides the velcro suit and the water park. The big slides are fun and fast they are a must. The Velcro suit however good in theory is not so easy. My pick for sure is the water park if there is one ride you must do. It is an obstacle course set above the water and is a real test of your skills. You might have seen a similar tv show with this idea and whilst I always thought it can't be that hard I found out it is. There were lots of falls but more laughs and I would do it again & again & again!
Aquafun is open from 2pm and whilst it is fairly new it does come with some issues like no secure area for your bags whilst your on rides or a place to sit and relax in between rides. We were told however they are working on ironing these things out so the potential is there. Whilst they cater for smaller children with a small section of blow up jumping castles it is definitely more suited for teenagers and above.

MARY McCARTHY would have been 100 this year, a milestone commemorated last spring by her alma mater, Vassar College, and again last Tuesday, at the American Library in Paris.
Among those who spoke or sent contributions memorializing the literary rapier whom Time once called "quite possibly the cleverest woman America has ever produced" were the novelist Diane Johnson; Robert B. Silvers, the editor of The New York Review of Books; a McCarthy biographer, Frances Kiernan; an executor of her literary estate, Margo Viscusi; the author Laura Furman; and a granddaughter, Sophie Wilson.
A small exhibition of Ms. McCarthy's articles and books accompanied the Paris celebration. Seattle-born and arguably Partisan Review-bred, she spent most of her later years in Paris and donated many articles and books to the library.
Those among us who do not remember our first time with "The Group" (now somehow mixed up with our crush on "Mad Men"), raise a hand.
"Any female critic writing today owes something to her," said Sarah Weinman, a publishing columnist. "And she's been held up as comparison for so much big women's fiction. She was a sharp critic, a great champion of underappreciated writers. She was caustic, and she spoke her mind."
Ms. McCarthy, who died in 1989 at age 77, also created an aura, trading up from her scruffy image at Vassar to an elegant look all her own.Continue reading the main story
"If you were to make a movie of Mary McCarthy's life," the editor William Abrahams told Ms. Kiernan in the early 1990s, "Grace Kelly could have played the part."
Could we possibly be having a McCarthy Moment in fashion? This season's little black cutaway dress from Balenciaga? Or that pretty tie-neck blouse from Lanvin (just look at the author's portrait-sitting with Cecil Beaton)? She visited both design houses and shopped for leather goods at Mark Cross, cashmere at Brooks Brothers, suits at Bonwit Teller and gloves and scarves at Hermès. All last summer we had espadrilles (hers came from Lanvin); this fall features 1940s-ish cropped jackets, and Williamsburg, Brooklyn, is grooving on Peter Pan collars.
"She combined sexy and tailored," Ms. Kiernan said. "It's cool now."
Many female writers whom Ms. McCarthy inspired intellectually reflect her style as well. A. M. Homes's new McCarthy-ish novel, "May We Be Forgiven," earned her an austere, short-waisted photo straight out of the McCarthy playbook. The cover art of Susanna Moore's latest, a World War II novel called "The Life of Objects," elicits a McCarthy double-take: a woman's photograph from the '30s, in profile, naturally, hair in a bun.
Mentioning her name evokes not only the extraordinary number of images of the writer published over the years, but "a literary figure, a political figure, an urbane figure, a very witty figure who had honesty and wasn't shy about expressing her opinions," said Ronald Patkus, who organized the Vassar show. "It's time for people to think about the role she played in the early and mid-20th century."
Claire Messud, a novelist and critic, refers to the intertwining of Ms. McCarthy's appearance and pointed intellect as a stance inherited from Edith Wharton and "the glamorous Europeans, like Louise de Vilmorin or the Mitfords or Elizabeth Bowen."
She added, "McCarthy was probably one of the first female intellectuals I was aware of, and there was this sense of the presentation of yourself as not so much distinctive as elegant, of presenting yourself with respect — self-respect was manifest."
This packs a particular relevance for young female writers today, said Elissa Schappell, a novelist and a founding editor of the literary magazine Tin House.
"The way she looked had the mark of someone who knows herself," she said. "Like with her inner life and writing: she could be zingy and ruthless but never sloppy. There was a certain precision and candor, very incisive and sharp. I didn't know she wore designer clothing, but it doesn't surprise me. There's always something very clean, thought-out. The look was very curated."
In "Memories of a Catholic Girlhood," Ms. McCarthy wrote: "It was the idea of being noticed that consumed all my attention. The rest, it seemed to me, would come of itself."
The writer's likeness was used as cover art for many of her books. Among the photographers were Philippe Halsman, Evelyn Hofer and Mr. Beaton. The cover drawing of the 1955 paperback of "The Company She Keeps" was based on a seminude photograph of the writer from the back, a particular favorite of Edmund Wilson, to whom she was tempestuously married for seven years.
Ms. McCarthy's husbands (she had four) and affairs were strung like the pearls she wore around her neck. But she refused to call herself the feminist she was in everything but name, dismissing the movement as whiny, greedy and shrill. As evinced by her notorious standoff with Lillian Hellman, she also loved a good fight. Norman Mailer challenged her to a boxing match.
"Women writers are still dealing with that whole thing we were taught since the playground: if you're smart, you can't be pretty," Ms. Schappell said. "Well, of course you can be both, and from Mary McCarthy you get that. Just because I want to be taken as seriously as a man doesn't mean I have to dress like a man."
Despite her fear of becoming a "hausfrau," Ms. McCarthy entertained a lot, and her surroundings were as important to her as her clothes (as they are for her characters). Throughout her fiction, she recycled her Russel Wright cocktail shaker and taste for Scandinavian modern furniture. She took eight suitcases to report on Vietnam.
Alison West, Ms. McCarthy's stepdaughter (the author's last husband was the diplomat James West), lives in New York with many of the possessions she inherited from the writer's later mode: neo-Classical bronzes and furniture, some jewelry, many books.
"I just finished a piece for the centenary on the fact that Mary would read to us, whether it was Howard Pyle's 'King Arthur' or the blue and red guides" for sightseeing, Ms. West said.
"She was a person of exacting standards: she loved beautiful language and very exact grammar," she added. "She was absolutely individual."Continue reading the main story

Amidst massive popularity, U2 has always been a misunderstood band. From theatrical bombast to musical pivots, the band has often followed its own muse as opposed to succumbing to critical constraints, but their artistry may get lost amidst the theatrics. Even now, one may wonder why 30-years later, a band that does not want to be a nostalgic act is revisiting The Joshua Tree. Maybe 2017, a remarkable time of political and social divisiveness, is the right time to return to an album that looked to understand the contradictions of America.
The show at CenturyLink Field Sunday night was part political rally, part church revival, and all dramatic, cinematic, performance art. The show started with drummer Larry Mullen, Jr. strolling down hundreds of feet (of a stage painted to look like THE Joshua Tree), to kick off the start of the show with the military rhythm of War's "Sunday Bloody Sunday." It was an instant pleaser, and had the crowd singing along to every word. This moment, like the entire show, was cinematic storytelling at its finest.
The band told their story via favorites from War and The Unforgettable Fire building up to an entire chronological set of their most popular effort on its 30th anniversary, The Joshua Tree.
First and foremost, what first appeared to be plywood turned out to be as close to an IMAX screen as some could imagine: hundreds of feet of high-def screen that revealed the fantastic new film of a desert-scape by Anton Corbijn (the artist behind the cover of the album) as commissioned by the band. It's truly not hyperbole to state that the screen was visually stunning and as epic as the band's music.
I've always felt the band was misunderstood in that those who disliked the band didn't understand why the band was... well, what they were; theater, as well as, rock, and art, and a vehicle for social change.
To me it was clear that they had made a choice early on to be more, to stretch the extremes of rock via Bono's on-stage bravado, dramatic readings of lyrics, etc. Yet many missed the amazing art propelled through these recordings in the mid-to-late-'80s, shepherded by producers Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois. If one was to focus on Bono's theatrical presence without understanding why he chose to go that route, you might miss their soaring melodies, ambient soundscapes, ground-breaking guitar sounds, and a back beat from quite possibly the most underrated rhythm section in the history of rock.
Recorded after the band had toured extensively throughout the US in support of their previous release The Unforgettable Fire, The Joshua Tree was a reaction to a country (our country!) they were attempting to understand and reflect through music. Thirty years later, here in Seattle, Bono singing lines from Simon and Garfunkel's "America" amidst The Unforgettable Fire's "A Sort of Homecoming" set the table for what was to be a return to something older that felt new.
For me, the finest moments of this set were also my favorites from the album. The cutting bombast of "Bullet the Blue Sky," the brooding slow burn of "With or Without You," the melodic intensity of "In God's Country," but I also found myself lifted when the band was joined by Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder and opening act Mumford and Sons on the album's finale, "Mothers of the Disappeared," a song that smartly turns the political personal, revealing a message that feels as important today as it did 30-years ago.
It was my daughter, Violet, age 15, who I felt summed the show up best. "That was one epic song after another."
Thirty years later, a 15-year-old was right.
For many years, the mantle of "most consistently stellar artist" seemed to be squarely on the shoulders of Spoon, but there's an argument for it to be moved over, if it hasn't already shifted, to Laura Marling. Six very good-to-great albums that each built on its predecessor will do that, though....
"I feel like all 4,000 people in this room should hug right now," the mid-30s woman beside me says to me as the house lights go on after The xx show last Monday night. I nod my head in approval. I understand what she means - not hugs of comfort but hugs of recognition of community and of the beau...

Re: Heartbroken nation, May 14
Heartbroken nation, May 14
Thank you coach Randy Carlyle and the players of the Toronto Maple Leafs for the best season of Leafs hockey we have seen in a decade! Oh, there will be the naysayers who will utter the word "choke," but for the millions of Leaf fans, myself included, this season has been a rejuvenation — a restoration of pride in the Leaf Nation that has not existed since the Gilmour days. Congratulations to Carlyle, captain Dion Phaneuf and all of the players for making the playoffs and providing all of us with the most entertaining and heart-stopping action in the playoffs thus far. know it is tough right now, but hold your heads up and be proud of what you have accomplished this year. We're all looking forward to next season. Go Leafs!
Andrew Brown, South Bruce Peninsula
It was heartening to see Toronto hockey fans, gathered at Maple Leaf Square to support their favourite team, conduct themselves in a civilized manner in face of a traumatic loss to the Boston Bruins in game seven. It has made me reconsider the validity of Christopher Hume's comments that Maple Leaf Square is not "finished." I had visions of trees being uprooted, benches and furniture used as projectiles after such a devastating loss. But Leaf fans showed maturity and class even in the face of defeat. Good for Toronto Maple Leaf hockey fans.
Donald Cangiano, Oakville
Young Leaf fans, please choose another NHL team to cheer for. I know many of you pride yourselves for being diehard Leaf fans, and you believe that being loyal to your team will eventually pay off. You might think that living through Monday night's collapse will build character and will make you stronger. I'm here to tell you that's not true.
I was like you once, a young, idealistic, optimistic Leaf fan who believed that whatever losses were thrown my way were just minor setbacks on the road to glory. I believed that the Stanley Cup was waiting around every corner. Now here I am, a lifelong Leaf fan, and I'm not optimistic anymore. I know that the Leafs will never win a Stanley Cup. However, I still get sucked in by their brief flashes of competence. I still (stupidly) get my hopes up every now and then, only to have them crushed. It's like being in love with someone who has no interest in you. But instead of the object of your desires telling you that he/she is not interested, he/she instead occasionally shows you a bit of interest — just enough to keep stringing you along. Now, instead of being the young and optimistic Leaf fan I once was, I'm old, grumpy, jaded and pessimistic. If you don't want to end up like me, please change your loyalty now, while you're still young, before your spirit is broken.
For many fans now, it's over. Their team has been knocked out and there are only dreams of next year. While it is unfortunate, it may also be an opportunity. What if these hockey fans stopped watching hockey for the rest of this year? As a message to the NHL over the shoddy way fans were treated during the strikeThere is nothing in it for us anymore. In six months time, we can read about who won and catch up on what happened. But for now, show discipline and tune out the NHL.
The CBC announced record audience numbers for the Leafs-Bruins game seven broadcast. What if those were the peak numbers for this year?
I doubt if it could happen. Hockey fans love the game too much. But wouldn't it be nice to send the arrogant brass in charge of the NHL a message?
Richard Haigh, Nanchang, Jiangxi, China
The more things change, the more they stay the same. A replay that has now lasted 46 years.
Louis MacPherson, Bowmanville
This week has reminded us of an important truth: to be a Leafs fan requires an incredible amount of psychological strength. This commitment is not for the faint of heart. Keep the faith.
Jean Baillargeon, Toronto

Supersaturation is a chemical state where so much of one substance is dissolved into another, that the resulting solution finds itself in a precarious, or "metastable" state. By simply adding a disturbance into the solution, crystals are formed, kicking off a chain reaction that turns the liquid into a solid before your very eyes. Here is a video that demonstrates the phenomenon.
So why am I discussing chemistry experiments in a blog about New Media business communications? It's because of yet another misuse of a social media buzzword: community–especially when used in the following context: "Come join my/our community."
Honestly, the phrase drives me batty because it breaks a fundamental rule of Social Media by focusing more on the me than it does on the you–the customer.
"Come join my community" is a Traditional's feeble attempt at Social Media. It's and old-school marketing wolf in "social media" clothing, who is trying to sneak traditional marketing messages into the conversation under false pretenses.
The most successful online communities aren't built by self-promoting invitations. They organize themselves, crystallizing like that of a jostled supersaturated liquid. They form around like-minded individuals who congregate online to talk about their passions. If those passions center on your product or service, then you have the ingredients for a community.
Instead of spending all of your time, effort, and marketing dollars on promoting a vapid online community, create an environment for supersaturation. Produce great products and services. Create content that supports the community. Find experts, inside and outside your company walls, who can speak authoritatively.
Once the ingredients start to crystallize, THEN send notifications via services like Twitter or your corporate blog. Instead of using useless phrases such as "Come join my community," highlight the work that is being done within the community. Talk about the problems that the community is solving, recap its most interesting discussions, share time-saving tips, the caloric values of recipes, or the success stories that the community is buzzing about.
In essence, make your notification worthwhile. If I like what I see, I just may hang around for a little while.

John Lawrence Toole
J. L. Toole
John Lawrence Toole
12 March 1832
St Mary Axe, City of London
|30 July 1906 (aged 74)
|Years active
|1852 – 1893
John Lawrence (J. L.) Toole (12 March 1830 – 30 July 1906) was an English comic actor, actor-manager and theatrical producer. He was famous for his roles in farce and in serio-comic melodramas, in a career that spanned more than four decades, and the first actor to have a West End theatre named after him.
Life and career[edit]
Toole was born in London, the younger son of James Toole and his wife, Elizabeth. His father was a messenger for the East India Company and for some years an usher at the Old Bailey, who for many years in the 1840s acted as toastmaster in the City of London.[1][2]
He was educated at the City of London School from 1841–45, and started work as a clerk in a wine merchant's office. In 1854, Toole married Susan Hale (née Caslake), a widow five years older than he. They had a son, Frank Lawrence, and a daughter, Florence Mabel, but both children died in their 20s.[3]
Early career[edit]
Toole began his acting career by training as an amateur with the City Histrionic Club, beginning in 1850 and by performing in other amateur theatricals and in comic sketches. He earned good notices, particularly as Jacob Earwig in Boots at the Swan, and soon met Charles Dickens, who had heard of him and came to see him act.[4] His last amateur role was as Simmons in The Spitalfields Weaver by Thomas Haynes Bayly[5] at the Haymarket Theatre. Encouraged by Dickens, he made his professional stage debut in 1852 at the Queen's Theatre in Dublin, under the management of Charles Dillon, and by 1853 became the principal "low comedian" at the Theatre Royale in Edinburgh. His older brother, Francis, acted as his manager throughout his early career.[2] During the next two years, he performed widely in Ireland and Scotland, gaining a reputation for sunny extemporaneous comedy, humorous expressions and a uniquely comic voice, freedom with his texts, and an engaging rapport with audiences.[1]
In 1854,[6] Toole made his first professional appearance in London at the St. James's Theatre, acting as Samuel Pepys in The King's Rival, by Tom Taylor and Charles Reade, and Weazel in My Friend the Major by Selby.[4] There he also played in Boots at the Swan and Honours before Titles.[7] He returned to the provinces, but by 1856 was engaged in London at the Lyceum Theatre, including as Hilarion Fanfaronade in Belphegor, in which Marie Wilton made her first London appearance.[8] Thereafter, he frequently performed with Wilton.[4] In 1857, having had a great success in London as Paul Pry in John Poole's farce of that name, he made his first of many successful provincial summer tours and often repeated the character thereafter. During this first tour, he met and acted together with Henry Irving, and the two remained close friends over their long careers. In 1858, he scored a notable hit creating the role of Tom Cranky in John Hollingshead's farce The Birthplace of Podgers.[1]
Peak Years[edit]
In 1858, at the suggestion of Dickens,[4] Toole joined Benjamin Webster's company at the Adelphi Theatre and established his popularity as a farceur, creating, among other parts, Joe Spriggins in Ici on parle français by T. H. Williams,[9] Augustus de Rosherville in The Willow Copse by Boucicault,[10] in Birthplace of Podgers, Tom Dibbles in Good for Nothing by J. B. Buckstone, and in Bengal Tiger.[7] He remained at the Adelphi as principal low comedian for nine years, frequently partnering with Paul Bedford, whose sedate comic style complemented his own contrasting energetic style.[1] His most successful roles there included Bob Cratchit in A Christmas Carol (1859), the title role in Asmodeus in 1859,[11] Peter Familias in The Census by William Brough (among many pieces by Brough),[12] Milwood in George de Barnwell by H. J. Byron (1862),[13] Caleb Plummer in Dot (1862), by Dion Boucicault,[8] Pitcher in The Area Belle (1864),[14] and Prudent in The Fast Family by B. Webster, Jr.[15] His other great successes there were as Mr. Tetterby in an adaptation of Dickens' The Haunted Man and of a frightened servant in Boucicault's The Phantom.[7] He played a season in 1867 with the impressive new company at Queen's Theatre that included Irving, Henrietta Hodson, Lionel Brough and Charles Wyndham, where he appeared in such works a H. J. Byron's Dearer Than Life, as Michael Garner, and W. S. Gilbert's La Vivandière, as Sergeant Sulpizio. Frederick Waddy wrote of Toole in 1873 that as Harry Coke in Off the Line, "Mr. Toole makes one of those perfect pictures of everyday life of the lower class in which he has so often proved himself a consummate artist. But in low comedy and broad farce it would be difficult to find an actor of equal merit.... As Paul Pry he keeps his audience in a roar whenever he is on the stage".[7]
Toole was then engaged in 1868 at the Gaiety Theatre by Hollingshead, appearing in many pieces there including Thespis (1871), the first Gilbert and Sullivan collaboration, and as John Lockwood, in a drama called Wait and Hope.[7] In 1872–74, among other successes, he portrayed Tom Larkin in Good News by H. J. Byron,[16] the Irishman Brulgruddery in John Bull by George Colman the Younger; Bob Acres in The Rivals by Richard Brinsley Sheridan, together with Charles James Mathews and Samuel Phelps; the title role in a Robert Reece burlesque called Don Giovanni in Venice; another title role in Guy Fawkes by H. J. Byron, and created the role of the barrister Hammond Coote in Wig and Gown by James Albery.[1][17] Toole's fame was at its height in 1874, when he went on tour to America, but he failed to reproduce there the success he had found in England. He remained based mostly at the Gaiety until the end of 1877, when he moved to the Globe Theatre under his own management for two years.[18]
In 1878, Toole created the role of Charles Liquorpond in A Fool and his Money by H. J. Byron. Liquorpond was a retired footman unexpectedly overtaken by wealth, and Toole's affectedly superior pronunciation, particularly of his own name, was a tremendous success. In his prime, Toole achieved wide popularity as a comic actor, being noted for his comic delivery of words, but he did not confine himself exclusively to comedy. He also excelled in domestic melodramas (adaptations by Dion Boucicault and others of Charles Dickens and similar writers), playing "tender-hearted victims of fate", where he was famously able to combine humour and pathos. The Times said of his performance in Dearer than Life by Henry James Byron:
"Mr. J. L. Toole... is associated in the minds of the general public mainly with parts provoking to uproarious laughter; but it may fairly be questioned whether, like his predecessor in this also, his heart does not lie with, and he himself is not seen to more advantage in, the telling sketches from everyday life to which, for want of a better, we give the name of domestic drama. Anything more lifelike than the intensity of cold and hunger from which he may be almost said to suffer, in the garret-scene, as Michael Garner it would be difficult to conceive."[19]
Later years[edit]
In 1879, Toole realized a lifelong ambition by taking over the management of the Folly Theatre in London. This triumph was offset by the death of his son in the same year, after a football injury.[3] He renamed the theatre "Toole's Theatre" in 1882, becoming the first actor to have a West End theatre named after him.[1] He was often away in the provinces, but he produced here a number of plays:
- H. J. Byron's A Fool and His Money (1879)[20]
- Arthur Wing Pinero's Hester's Mystery (1880)
- Byron's Upper Crust (1880) and Auntie (1882)[21][22]
- A. W. Pinero's Girls and Boys: a Nursery Tale (1882) starring Toole as Solomon Prothero[23]
- F. C. Burnand's Stage Dora; or, Who Killed Cock Robin (1883), a burlesque of Sardou's Fédora, starring Toole
- Burnand's Paw Claudian (1884), a burlesque of the 1883 costume (Byzantine) drama 'Claudian' by Henry Herman and W. G. Wills
- Pinero's Girls and Boys (1885)
- Mr. Guffin's Elopement and The Great Tay-Kin, both with words by Arthur Law and music by George Grossmith, starring Toole (1885)[24][25]
- A revival of Billee Taylor (1886)
- The Butler, by Herman Charles Merivale, starring Toole (1886)
- Pepita, an operetta by Charles Lecocq (1888)
- The Don, by Merivale, starring Toole (1888).[26]
- The Bungalow, by Fred Horner (1890)[27]
- J. M. Barrie's Ibsen's Ghost, or, Toole up to Date, a one-act satire on London productions of Ibsen, including Hedda Gabler, starring Irene Vanbrugh and Toole (1891)
- Barrie's Walker, London, a highly successful farce, directed by Toole (1892)[28]
Toole began to be troubled by gout in 1886. After his daughter died in 1888, followed by his wife in 1889, Toole was disconsolate, and his health deteriorated further.[1] By this time, his acting was unfashionable: he began to be seen as the last of the line of old-fashioned low comic actors who had been popular earlier in the century, including Buckstone, John Liston and Edward Richard Wright.[1] Nevertheless, he toured Australia and New Zealand in 1890.[4] He published his reminiscences in 1888, and his stage appearances gradually became fewer. The gout left him sometimes unable to walk, and after an 1893 illness during Thoroughbred by Ralph Lumley, he retired from the London stage, although he made occasional appearances in the provinces until about 1896. His theatre was demolished in 1895 for an extension of Charing Cross Hospital, and he dissolved his theatre company after an 1896 tour.
The critic Clement Scott called Toole "one of the kindest and most genial men who ever drew breath. ... No one acted with more spirit or enjoyed so thoroughly the mere pleasure of acting."[8] His genial and sympathetic nature was conspicuous off the stage as well as on it, and he was known as a great practical joker.[1]
Ultimately he retired to Brighton, where after a long struggle with Bright's disease and a degenerative spinal illness, he died in 1906 at the age of 76. He is buried at Kensal Green Cemetery in London, next to his wife and children. Toole was a good businessman and left a considerable fortune of over £81,000, out of which he made a number of bequests to charity, to needy actors and to his friends.[1]

Today's post is one of my infrequent LDS-centric posts. Just 3 months before his death, when his theology and beliefs were most mature, Joseph Smith gave a sermon to 20,000 early Latter-day Saints. The sermon took place shortly after the funeral service of a man named King Follett. That sermon is commonly known as King Follett's Discourse. In this sermon Joseph Smith said,
"God himself, finding he was in the midst of spirits and glory, because he was more intelligent, saw proper to institute laws whereby the rest could have a privilege to advance like himself. The relationship we have with God places us in a situation to advance in knowledge. He has power to institute laws to instruct the weaker intelligences, that they may be exalted with Himself, so that they might have one glory upon another, and all that knowledge, power, glory, and intelligence, which is requisite in order to save them in the world of spirits."
What is the nature of these laws that God instituted?
To answer this question I will try to answer what we mean by the word "law". To clarify the word law, I will invoke a distinction made in my last post—the distinction between observer-independent facts and observer-relative facts. Laws can refer to both distinctions. An observer-independent law is a universal principle that is independent of consciousness. I use the word consciousnesses similar to the word intelligences. Consciousnesses refers to all beings that have consciousness include human beings and Gods. Examples of observer-independent laws include the laws of thermodynamics, the law of non-contradiction, the Pythagorean Theorem, Boyle's law, etc. An observer-relative law refers to rules of conduct and behavior to be enforced by social institutions. Examples include traffic laws, contract law, the law of Moses, etc.
These two uses of the word "law" are very different. But, using these 2 senses of the word interchangeably is the source of much confusion.
Are the laws instituted by God observer-independent, observer-relative, or both?
Let me reference some of the laws of God. In this context, I think "law" and "commandment" are the same. Here is a partial list:
- "Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
- "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image. …
- "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. …
- "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. …
- "Honour thy father and thy mother. …
- "Thou shalt not kill.
- "Thou shalt not commit adultery. (The law of chastity)
- "Thou shalt not steal.
- "Thou shalt not bear false witness. …
- "Thou shalt not covet."
- The law of tithing
- The law of consecration
- The word of wisdom
- Love God. ...
- Love thy neighbor. ...
- Care for the poor
All of these laws are observer-relative because they only exist as a result of a conscious agent. Observer-relative laws can be adjusted for different social contexts. For example, the law of Moses was done away through Christ. Likewise the law of polygamy served a temporary purpose in different periods of history.
But, did God institute any observer-independent laws such as the law of thermodynamics, or the pythagorean theorem? Since God is an observer himself, it would be contradictory to say that God instituted laws that were independent of him. But some might argue that those laws of nature are independent to everyone but God.
All the laws that God has shared with us have been observer-relative laws. There is no reason to believe that God created any laws that appear to humans to be observer-independent.
Furthermore, Joseph Smith taught that God himself cannot transcend any law that is independent of Him. (I have posted here and here on this topic.) The apostle John A. Widsoe in his book Joseph Smith as a Scientist: A Contribution to Mormon Philosophy wrote:
"The interesting fact about this matter is, naturally, that in this conception of God, Joseph Smith was strictly scientific. He departed from the notion that God is a Being foreign to nature and wholly superior to it. Instead, he taught that God is part of nature, and superior to it only in the sense that the electrician is superior to the current that is transmitted along the wire. The great laws of nature are immutable, and even God cannot transcend them."
These immutable laws are not the laws that God instituted. His laws are observer-relative laws are instituted within the framework of the immutable laws of reality. That means that observer-relative laws are based on observer-independent laws. For instance, the fact that God's observer-relative laws help us grow in knowledge, power, glory, and intelligence is an observer-indepdendent fact. This is a more complex subject which I will address in a later post.
In conclusion, God's laws are observer-relative and they are not observer-independent. Mormons can be confident that their beliefs will not conflict with any of the observer-indepedent laws so far discovered by science.

EAST MILLINOCKET, Maine — More than 400 union members helped clear what might be the last hurdle to restarting two Katahdin region paper mills by overwhelmingly supporting a tentative contract late Wednesday with a prospective investor, officials said.
Under the five-year deal, Cate Street Capital would pay workers the same wages — $16 to $22 per hour — paid by present mills owner Katahdin Paper Co. LLC when it shuttered the East Millinocket mill in April but no wage increases except undefined, unscheduled bonuses if Cate Street finds its first foray into papermaking profitable. The Millinocket mill closed in Sept. 2008.
Workers emerging from the 2½-hour closed-door meeting at Schenck High School seemed to greet the contract with relief and resignation. They said they were happy that their hiring would reduce the region's 21 percent unemployment rate but not pleased, given that their work has been almost universally praised as excellent, at resuming their place as the state's lowest-paid papermakers.
"I have been out of work for about two years and I can tell you, you cannot find jobs anywhere in the state offering the kind of money that they are offering," said Gerald Smith, a 54-year-old steam plant operator at the East Millinocket plant who lives in Burlington. "It's not there."
About 93 percent of the workers voted to OK the tentative deal, said Duane Lugdon, a United Steelworkers international representative. He declined to provide vote totals.
The successful end of rounds of meetings among Cate Street and state officials on Wednesday infused Gov. Paul LePage with optimism that Cate Street would make its deadline and close a deal to buy the East Millinocket and Millinocket mills by midnight Thursday, putting as many as 500 people back to work. Sale details have not been disclosed.
"We are getting very close to that deadline but we are optimistic," press secretary Adrienne Bennett said. "There are a lot of meetings and discussions with lawyers going on. We are working in the right direction and hopefully we will have a positive outcome to all of this."
An agreement Thursday would be provisional and allow Cate Street to put workers back to work Tuesday filling the East Millinocket mill's woodyard and preparing the mill for a restart as soon as possible, Lugdon said. The completed deal is scheduled for Sept. 27, he said.
The company wants to start the hiring process for workers as soon as the provisional deal is done, he said.
Leaders of the mills' host towns, East Millinocket and Millinocket, did their part Tuesday in helping set tentative property tax and tax increment financing deals with Cate Street, the Portsmouth, N.H.-based energy investor making its first foray into paper manufacturing with the new Great Northern Paper Co. LLC.
Like LePage, Cate Street continues to work to close the deal, company spokesman Scott Tranchemontagne said Wednesday.
"We are pleased with the agreements, and pleased to have cleared a few more hurdles in the process," Tranchemontagne said. "We remain cautiously optimistic that we will be able to overcome remaining challenges and close the purchase on Thursday."
As many as 200 East Millinocket papermakers could return to work to fill already placed orders for virgin newsprint, one of the plant's specialties, by early October, with the plant's recycled newsprint operations resuming as orders arrive. The mill employed as many as 450 workers when it shut down in April.
The Millinocket mill's production of magazine-style catalog and newspaper inserts is not expected to resume for several months. It depends on whether orders are placed, state officials have said. That mill employed as many as 150 workers when it closed in September 2008.
Cate Street signed a tentative agreement with mills parent company Brookfield Asset Management on Aug. 30 to buy the mills for an undisclosed price. Part of the deal is an estimated $20 million investment in the East Millinocket mill.
The company received financing last week to start building a $275 million biomass boiler in Berlin, N.H. Cate Street specializes in the development of alternative-energy resources, including torrefied wood. Also known as biochar, torrefaction involves roasting wood chips until they store enough energy to compare to coal — which scientists say is responsible for more than one-third of the world's carbon dioxide emissions — without many of the pollutants involved in coal burning.
Richard Cyr, a senior vice president of Cate Street Capital and possible chief executive officer of the new Great Northern Paper Co., has stressed that all conditions of the agreement Cate Street signed with Brookfield must be met by the deadline or the deal would die.
By virtue of the number of people employed, the restart of the mills would be the largest single economic development accomplishment of the LePage administration.
"The governor has invested a lot of time and resources into this," Bennett said. "It certainly is a priority for the administration. We want to get people back to work."
As part of the tax and TIF deals Millinocket's Town Council voted 7-0 to accept on Tuesday, Cate Street would pay the town $900,000 in property taxes annually, the same amount Katahdin Paper Co., the mill's present owner, would have paid had it remained the owner.
Katahdin Paper removed equipment from the site over the last several years that reduced its annual property tax payment by $1.7 million to $900,000, Town Manager Eugene Conlogue said.
"It is a fair level of taxation. It gives the town stability and it gives the company predictability," Conlogue said. "That is a good deal for both parties."
As part of the new agreement, the TIF, which is scheduled to lapse on the property in the 2020-2021 fiscal year, would be extended on qualified investments installed after the sale to the 2030-31 fiscal year. An unnamed portion of the tax would be paid for by a Finance Authority of Maine loan, a copy of the proposed agreement states.
Cate Street would "use its best efforts to pay the outstanding 2011-12 property taxes as soon as possible following closing" of the deal, the agreement states. "Both GNP and the Town realize that there is a 'ramp up' period for the mills following acquisition and that cash flow will be limited during that period."
For that reason, interest on the first half-year payment due in November would not begin to accrue until Jan. 1, 2012 — and then the interest would be 7 percent per annum.
Tax increment financing dedicates portions of tax gains, or tax increments, from new or redeveloped business — in this case, a revitalized paper mill — within certain defined districts to finance debt created by the project and to finance improvements in those zones or within the municipalities that employ TIFs.

WEST DES MOINES, Iowa -- Believe it or not, there is a right and wrong way to walk on the ice, reports Jodi Whitworth with WHO.
The Iowa Illinois Safety Council has one of two "slips, trips and fall" simulators in the state.
"The idea isn't to teach you how to walk again. It's to teach you how to recognize when you're in the situation and get out of it safely," says executive director of Iowa Illinois Safety Council, Adam Lathrop.
Experts say the best way to walk on the ice is to march, despite the common penguin shuffle. They also say you should look straight ahead, keep your arms in a natural swinging motion and to put all your weight on your stepping foot.
The technique may sound obvious but it's something the majority of Iowans aren't doing and it's proving to be costly.
"Slips and falls are the second leading cause of work comp claims behind over-exertion. In 2015, it cost businesses $8.6 billion. It's also the second leading cause for time away from work," says Lathrop.
The simulator was first created at Virginia Tech and designed for UPS workers. The machine is now used to train both businesses and community members how to navigate safely on the ice.
Studies show those who complete the training are 70% less likely to fall on the ice. For ways you can train on the simulator, click here.

Squash Bug
The squash bug, Anasa tristis , is a serious pest of squash and pumpkins and a lesser pest of melons and cucumbers.
Squash bug eggs are oval shaped and yellowish-brown. After oviposition they are fairly light and will darken with age. Eggs are oviposited in clusters of 4 to 40 in fairly uniform rows, often on the underside of leaves between the forks of the veins. Nymphs are approximately 1/8 inch long. The young nymphs are boldly colored with a red head, antennae, thorax and legs, and a green abdomen. Nymphal color fades with age to a gray/white with black legs and antennae. The 5th instar nymph appears very similar to the adult with wing buds instead of complete wings. The adult squash bug has a gray/white body with black legs and antennae. The overlapping structure of the wings on the adult makes an X in the center of the insects back. When these insects are crushed they give off an unpleasant odor.
The squash bug overwinters as an adult in protected areas. In Pennsylvania the adults emerge in mid June, although they will often not enter a host field until the vines begin to "run". The adults may continue ovipositing eggs for more than a month and for this reason nymphs and adults will often be present in the field throughout the summer. Emerging adults will feed, mate and begin oviposition in approximately 10 days. The eggs will hatch in 1 to 2 weeks and it requires 4 to 6 weeks for the nymphs to pass through the 5 larval instars before becoming an adult. The squash bug does not have a pupal stage, instead each nymphal instar appears more like the adult. After completing the 5th instar the nymph goes into a resting stage where it completes its growth into an adult. The squash bug has only one generation per year.
Like all true bugs the squash bug has piercing-sucking mouthparts. Both adults and nymphs feed on the host plant by piercing the plants epidermis and sucking out the sap. While it is unclear if the squash bug injects a plant toxin, feeding can cause extensive amounts of damage. The physical process of squash bug feeding removes sap, which interferes with normal nutrient transfer in the plant. Certain varieties of squash are nearly impossible to grow in some areas of the country.
Squash bug feeding first appears as yellow spots which later turn black. Vines which have been fed upon will often turn black and dry out. For this reason squash bug feeding may be mistaken for bacterial wilt. Feeding can completely destroy small plants and vines.
As with many insects, proper cultural controls can significantly reduce squash bug populations minimizing the probability that populations will increase to damaging levels. Removing debris after harvest from around the field can kill overwintering squash bug, reducing the following year's population. Often it is possible to trap squash bugs for manual extermination. Placing old boards in the field before cool nights will often attract squash bugs to spend the night under these structures. Early the next morning the bugs can be captured and eliminated. Use of resistant varieties of vines can significantly reduce damage.
Any plants observed to be wilting should be examined for squash bugs. The bugs are very stealthy and will often attempt to hide behind stems and leaves. The most critical time for squash bug control is when plants are at seedling, as young plants do not have the strength to tolerate significant feeding. If you suspect squash bug damage but are having difficulty finding the bugs, you can attempt to sample for the bugs by placing a board in the field as described in the previous paragraph. Be sure to check the board in the early morning before squash bugs spending the night there disperse.

Control VLC Media Player With Dell & HP Laptop Build-in Remote
Most laptops now come with a build-in remote control but they are all configured to work with Windows Media Player and Windows Media Center only. With the growth and popularity of VLC Media Player, there comes a dire need to control it with the laptop's build-in remote control.
Meet VLC Dell XPS Remote Control Plugin. It is a small plugin that allows you to control VLC with Dell(and HP) laptop's build-in Remote Control or Media Buttons. Even though the developer has only tested it on Dell XPS M1330, it is reported to work with Dell XPS M1710, Dell XPS M1530, Dell Studio , Dell Vostro 1310 , HP Pavilion, and Dell Inspiron 1520 laptops.
Having HP Pavilion Dv5t(pictured above), I can confirm that it does indeed work with the build-in remote control. Your luck may vary depending on the model number. Give it a shot and let us know if it worked for you.

Not sure what to make of Google Glass? Consider this: It could be a must-have for your office.
Google Glass is still in beta, but one enterprising company is already figuring out how to use its video recording feature in the office. At the recent Streaming Media West conference in sunny Huntington Beach, California, Scott Lawson, director of IT architecture for enterprise resource planning software company QAD, sat down for a red carpet interview to explain how his company is already finding uses for Google Glass.
"So a new employee comes on. We want to introduce him to the whole team. QAD is a global company, most people are not at the corporate office. So we can make a quick interview video with them, not a lot of fuss, and then publish that right away and have everybody meet this person before they leave on their very first day," Lawson explained. "Another use case is down in the server room. I work for IT and we have racks and racks of servers, and identifying those servers with somebody upstairs or at another location who's working the firewall, who's trying to figure out what's going on, you can have sort of a man-on-the-street as it were."
Working with Google Glass will certainly take some adjusting. Lawson offered a few tips based on his experience so far.
"You can't record a ten minute video on Google Glass. Although it would work, it would probably kill the small battery that you have," Lawson explained. "The other thing is you want to be ready. It's all in one take, so you have to go and think about what you're going to do. As soon as you turn it on, you have to give a title and extend the video and talk and then close it up. It's like being a newscaster or a broadcaster."
To hear more about using Google Glass in the enterprise, watch the full video below.

Our Vision
Empowering women through movement
Building community through annual gatherings
Since 2010, the North American Women's Parkour Gathering has brought practitioners together from across the globe to share their voices and their movement with one another. From teaching workshops and sessions to designing the shirts and posters, it is an event conceived, organized, and executed by women within the community every step of the way.
Engaging local communities
Every year the North American WPK Gathering travels to a new location in North America, where the local leadership takes ownership of the event execution and imparts their local culture on the experience. To date, it has been held in New York City, Toronto, Seattle, Colorado, and Boston. Next year's event will be held in Vancouver, BC!
In the future, we hope to expand into the southern states, Mexico, and other parts of Canada.
Programming for empowerment
Jump Like A Girl is the newest addition to the Women's Parkour Movement. Through this initiative, we are conducting research, fostering education, and inspiring motivation for women and girls to learn about and fall in love with parkour. If you are interested in getting involved in our programming or providing resources to support our vision, please contact Alice Popejoy at firstname.lastname@example.com.
