I must admit upfront that I turned off Alice Rohrwacher's previous film, 2011's Corpo celeste, after an hour or so, made frustrated and fidgety by the lack of mise en scène (to appropriate Jacques Rivette's definition of the much-contested term, used drolly in reference to the cinema of Joseph L. Mankiewicz). So I certainly may be approaching her follow-up, The Wonders—playing in the New York Film Festival after being well-regarded and award-winning in competition at Cannes this year—with a bias. But indeed I found much of the same problems here that I found in the earlier film, and while her Cannes Grand Jury Prize winner is an improvement in imagemaking, it still has a way to go in filmmaking.
Much of the slovenly camerawork and garbled, unmotivated editing remains, draining an already naturally lackadaisical story of any sense of urgency, but with these more forceful images »

Alexa here with some ephemera to celebrate Monica Bellucci's 50th birthday. I will never forget seeing Irreversible; I was aware of Monica Bellucci before that but nothing prepared me for the impact, terrible as it was, that the film would have. Soon I was consuming every performance of hers (in an attempt to wipe away the imagery of Irreversible), and when I came upon this issue of Res magazine on a newsstand in the city I couldn't resist.

The New York Film Festival begins this Friday. But our screenings have already begun. Here is Glenn on two Italian films, "The Wonders" and "Misunderstood"
If Paolo Sorrentino's Oscar-winning The Great Beauty (2013) was an ode to the fantastical visions of Federico Fellini's Italy, then Alice Rohrwacher's The Wonders is an appropriate return to the world of the country's famed neorealist movement of the 1940s and '50s, concerning itself with the economic and moral quandries of so-called everyday Italians. Coming in second place at this year's Cannes Film Festival, it follows a family in rural Italy who scrape by due their honey farming, but an encounter with a television production in their hometown spearheads the eldest daughter's desire to lift herself and her family out of the poverty line that they barely manage to survive above.
Perhaps Rohrwacher's greatest achievement with The Wonders is »

Further details have emerged of the marketing and release plans for religious-themed portmanteau picture Words With Gods, which features contributions from such directors as Guillermo Arriaga, Emir Kusturica, Mira Nair and Hector Babenco.
The film, which has been screening out of competition in Venice, is produced by Arriaga along with Alex Garcia and Lucas Akoskin.
Speaking in Venice, Paula Alvarez Vaccaro, who produced Kusturica's contribution, has revealed that there will be "a big inter-faith" campaign to accompany the distribution of the film. This is being coordinated through Vaccaro's London-based company Pinball.
Sales are currently being handled by Garcia's LatAm Pictures.
"We are going to tackle different territories and different areas with different activities," Vaccaro explained. The intention is to create events around each short that will promote inter-faith dialogue and debate as well as educational activities.
The film looks at everything from atheism to Aboriginal spirituality, from Serbian orthodoxy to Buddhism.

Opening Night – World Premiere
David Fincher, USA, 2014, Dcp, 150m
David Fincher's film version of Gillian Flynn's phenomenally successful best seller (adapted by the author) is one wild cinematic ride, a perfectly cast and intensely compressed portrait of a recession-era marriage contained within a devastating depiction of celebrity/media culture, shifting gears as smoothly as a Maserati 250F. Ben Affleck is Nick Dunne, whose wife Amy (Rosamund Pike) goes missing on the day of their fifth anniversary. Neil Patrick Harris is Amy's old boyfriend Desi, Carrie Coon (who played Honey in Tracy Letts's acclaimed production of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?) is Nick's sister Margo, Kim Dickens (Treme, Friday Night Lights) is Detective Rhonda Boney, and Tyler Perry is Nick's superstar lawyer Tanner Bolt. At once a grand panoramic vision of middle America, a uniquely disturbing exploration of the fault lines in a marriage, »

In a bid to tap the hefty 38% tax breaks of Spain's Canary Islands, Beverly Hills-based Defiant Pictures, run by producers Lucas Jarach and Nicolas Veinberg, has launched a private capital film fund in partnership with Spanish investment firm Grupo Eneas. Fund will disburse coin for an annual slate of five Canary Islands-based pics with budgets ranging from $3 million to $25 million.
Since the Canary Islands incentive requires producers to raise private capital from island-based investors to fund up to 38% of a picture's budget, gaining access to these local investors can be a challenge, per Jarach.
Eneas' ready access to a large pool of local private investors guarantees the stability of the financial structure. These companies can then reclaim their investment as a tax deduction at the end of the fiscal year.
Rafael Lopez is the head of Eneas' Canary Island outfit.

Take another look @ Italian actress Monica Bellucci ("Brotherhood of the Wolf") in a recent issue of "Harper's Bazaar" magazine (Ukraine).
Bellucci wears dresses from a past spring/summer collection from Dolce & Gabbana.
Bellucci's film career began in the early 1990's, playing roles in "La Riffa" (1991) and "Bram Stoker's Dracula" (1992).
In 1996 she was nominated for a 'César Award' for best supporting actress for her portrayal of 'Lisa' in "L'Appartement".
This was followed by roles in "Malèna" (2000), "Brotherhood of the Wolf" and "Irréversible" (2002).
She has since played in numerous films including "Tears of the Sun" (2003), "The Matrix Reloaded" (2003), "The Brothers Grimm" (2005), "Le Deuxième souffle" (2007), "Don't Look Back" (2009), and "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" (2010).
Bellucci dubbed her own voice for the French and Italian releases of the film "Shoot 'Em Up" (2007), also voicing 'Kaileena' in the video game "Prince of Persia: Warrior Within" and the French voice of 'Cappy' for the French version of »

The Wonders
At Cannes this year, I cried at the end of The Wonders by Alice (A-lee-che, she's Italian) Rohrwacher. Crying at The Wonders is one thing I have in common with Nicolas Widing Refn.
I didn't expect to cry. At first, the film reminded me of two nauseating clichés. One is the coming-of-age summer, when some unexpected boy arrives on the scene and changes everything. The other, in this film about an eccentric family of beekeepers in Tuscany, is that sort of softcore porn of the European idyllic countryside (with soft backlighting) that finds easy audiences in the United States. Summer Hours is one recent example.
Yet about halfway through, The Wonders defied my expectations through filmmaking choices with texture, costume, and music. I'd guess that a song in the credits is what pushed Refn to tears. It's a John Hughes-type cue used much more subtly than Refn's own music choices. »

Quentin Tarantino and Uma Thurman present the Palme d'Or to Nuri Bilge Ceylan for Winter Sleep. Turkish director Nuri Bilge Ceylan has won the Cannes Film Festival's top prize the Palme d'Or with Winter Sleep in the year that Turkish cinema is celebrating its centenary with a special focus in the Festival.
Although the film was touted as a strong contender early on, Ceylan looked genuinely surprise at the accolade, which he received before a red carpet crowd in the 2300-seat Lumière theatre.
With an epic running time of some 196 minutes the film tested the patience of many but clearly not Jane Campion's jury.
Another award which had been promoted early in the Festival, was a best actor gong for Timothy Spall and his portrayal of the iconic artist in Mike Leigh's Mr. Turner.

Exclusive: Producer is in Cannes with slate that includes a restored William S Burroughs doc and On The Milky Road.
London-based Argentinean producer Paula Vaccaro is in town talking up an eclectic slate that includes a restored William S Burroughs doc and Emir Kusturica's On The Milky Road.
Pinball London's Vaccaro and Aaron Brookner serve as remastering producers on Burroughs: The Movie.
Brookner launched a Kickstarter campaign in late 2012 to restore the film, which his late uncle directed and remains the only feature doc about the Naked Lunch author, born 100 years ago.
Criterion is on board to release on DVD and Janus Film will distribute theatrically at the end of the year after Burroughs: The Movie returns to the New York Film Festival, the site of its world premiere 30 years ago.
Brookner will film the festival screening and insert into his original doc, Uncle Howard, which Vaccaro also produces. Jim Jarmusch is executive »

Due to some unfortunate circumstances (laptop's hard drive went kaput), I wasn't able to update our grid for Day 3, but we're finally back and will report back daily until the fest's end. On day 4 of the comp, we saw Tommy Lee Jones return to the fest with his sophomore Croisette feature. He took home Best Director and Best Actor for 2005′s The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada and didn't deviate too far off with another Old West portrait – this one starring Hilary Swank, Meryl Streep and himself. We didn't get enough grades to (just yet) to make a generalized opinion from our set on The Homesman, but that'll surely correct itself shortly.

The Wonders
Written and directed by Alice Rohrwacher
Italy/Switzerland/Germany, 2014
Alice Rohrwacher's The Wonders often sets itself up as if a rural Italian Little Miss Sunshine. A dysfunctional beekeeping family live under the patriarchal reign of Wolfgang (Sam Louwyck), fully contained in a proud rural lifestyle without doors, privacy, or privilege. Rohrwacher takes a standard fish-out-of-water comedy , throwing in a few moments of beauty and absurd humor, but ultimately falls short of anything other than an updated but familiar tale of adolescence.
The film's titlecard, humbly showing us "The Wonders", comes on screen immediately after a brief scene of an entire family crowding a room in anticipation of little girl Marinella (Agnese Graziani) using the bathroom. It's a kind of juxtaposition that sets the tone for the rest of the film — bleakly pastoral with a not-so-ironic sense of cheer. Such is the feeling of "The Wonders »

The mood of Alice Rohrwacher's "The Wonders" is similar to that of her 2011 debut, "Corpo celeste": Dardennes-inspired lensing, impressionistic sequences capturing the developing spirit of an adolescent girl, and a sense of people out of step with the world. Here the helmer-scripter is inspired by her backstory, with mixed Italian-German parentage, strong sister personalities and a farm in central Italy figuring into the story. Aiming to capture a young teen's sense of belonging in a family determined to steer its own course, the pic has intermittent rewards yet isn't weighty enough to justify a Cannes competish slot. Smaller fests and a modest Euro release make more likely venues.
Like "Corpo celeste," the film opens with an indistinct nighttime scene that appears unmoored from what's to come. Hunters imprecisely glimpsed in roaming flashlights are never seen again, and later only the occasional sound of rifle discharges, »

The Italian film business, coming off an Oscar win this year for Paolo Sorrentino's "The Great Beauty," should be on a roll. But the Italo industry's story is more complex, as shrinking budgets and a stagnant box office hamper a filmmaking community that's stubbornly slow to shed its insular ways. Yet fresh faces are emerging, thanks to co-productions across Europe, helping the sector to stumble ahead.
Recently, the Italian Culture Ministry revealed alarming figures that show a 27% drop in Italian film investments in 2013 to €358 million ($495 million), compared with 2012, while the country's cinematic output remained substantially stable, at 167 pics. The average budget of an Italian movie these days is a measly $2.3 million.
"The numbers show that the budgets of quality midrange movies are getting slimmer, and this is terrible," comments producer Riccardo Tozzi, who heads Italy's national motion picture association, Anica.

Ad vitam has acquired the French rights to "Le Meraviglie" (The Wonders), the second feature from Alice Rohrwacher, which is in Cannes' competition. Brazil-based Alfa Filmes has picked up all Latin American rights. The Match Factory is selling the film in Cannes.
Ad Vitam released Rohrwacher's debut feature, "Corpo Celeste," which premiered at Cannes' Directors' Fortnight in 2011.
"Le Meraviglie" is about a father who wants to keep his family together and retain the traditions of country life, while his daughter desires the world on TV shows.
The cast includes Sam Louwyck ("Bullhead"), Alba Rohrwacher and Monica Bellucci.
The film was produced by Italy's Tempesta with Rai Cinema, in co-production with Amka Films Prods. in Switzerland and Pola Pandora in Germany.
"Alice is an exceptional director with a unique cinematographic language, and I'm sure 'Le Meraviglie' will be warmly embraced by the audience," said Michael Weber, managing director of the Match Factory. »

Among the 18 feature films competing for the Palme d'Or at this year's Cannes Film Festival, Jean-Luc Godard is presenting his 19th film at the Cannes Film Festival, Adieu au Langage (Goodbye to Language).

Since then, 18 of his films have been screened at the festival, though not all in competition. Goodbye to Language is Godard's first film in competition in over 10 years.
Captive (The Captive): Atom Egoyan directs this Canadian thriller starring Ryan Reynolds, Rosario Dawson, Mireille Enos and Scott Speedman. This will be Egoyan's fifth film in competition at the Cannes Film Festival; the writer/director won the Grand Jury Prize for The Sweet Hereafter in 1997.

Welcome back to Cannes Check, In Contention's annual preview of the films in Competition at this year's Cannes Film Festival, which kicks off on May 14. Taking on different selections every day, we'll be examining what they're about, who's involved and what their chances are of snagging an award from Jane Campion's jury. Next up, one of the clear (or not-so-clear) wild cards of the lineup: Alice Rohrwacher's "The Wonders." The director: Alice Rohrwacher (Italian, 33 years old). Amid the laundry list of usual-usual auteurs returning to the Competition, a few names raised eyebrows when Thierry Fremaux announced the lineup last month, and Rohrwacher's was one of them. After making a strong impression in Directors' Fortnight three years ago with her debut feature, the Catholic Church-themed coming-of-age drama "Corpo Celeste," an Un Certain Regard berth seemed the logical next step for her follow-up, but this was an unexpected promotion for the young Italian, »

Conventional wisdom says to wait until a foreign trailer has subtitles before posting, but the gist is apparent enough in this first snippet from Alice Rohrwacher's Cannes Competition entry Le Meraviglie. Set in the Umbrian countryside, the film centers on the eldest daughter of a provincial bee-keeping family, whose summer is upended by the arrival of a young German boy and local television competition, headed by none other than Monica Bellucci. Already silly/offensive conjectures are being batted around about Rohrwacher's chances given the fact that both she and jury president Jane Campion are women, but we'll see if they're at all warranted in the ensuing weeks. »

Hi Melana.
I personally have 1.5% haste on my gear and casting DL and HR feels slow but I find Mastery much more efficient.
From your logs I can tell that you sometimes use either EF and SS but they do not seem to have a close to 100% uptime.
SS should be on the target that is recieving the most dmg(usually the tank) all the time. SS scales well with haste but not at all with mastery. I opt for EF on most fights (but I am raiding 10man, so there could be a difference). If you go for EF try to keep as many EF on the tanks for the HoT + Stacking high Mastery. You can also use 1-2 holypower EF on players if they just need little healing.
I also noticed that you barely ever heal anyone but the Beacon. Especially with HL you should never directly heal the Beacon.
As for Lights Hammer or Holy Prism...I personally use Lights Hammer 99% of the time for extra healing during AoE dmg phases. Holy Prism is very situational as its effictiveness depends on low health players needing to stay close to the boss every 20 sec + it costs a gcd. The Hammer is much easier to target and you can use it a gcd before the dmg comes so you can instantly start casting.
Divine Purpose gives nice extra healing but has its randomness. On fights like Elegon or the first boss of HoF I use Holy Avenger and try to maximize HolyPower generation by using HR, HS and direct Beacon Heals to generate as much HolyPower for LoD.
I hope this helps a bit.

Tuesday 29 October 2013: Autumn berries
Went to work as normal today. Saw no evidence of the storm until I arrived in Basingstoke where are large tree had flattened a fence, crossed the road and flattened the fence and a large patch of hedge on the other side of the road... A pair of tree surgeons were busily feeding bits of the poor tree into a chipper...
A bit further down the street I took a few more pictures, picking this one because I like the berries and the sky behind the tree.

It's really quite cruel. You begin your graduate program in September and, by October, you are expected to produce a first-rate application for a prestigious Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) doctoral fellowship.
Writing the proposal requires a great deal of careful thought. Even if you don't win a fellowship this time, your effort will not be wasted because you will gain a better sense of your project. A commitment from an appropriate supervisor will strengthen your application, but is not essential. Your goal is to come across as a thoughtful, motivated, and well-organized junior scholar.
Here is a breakdown of each major section on the application, along with some tips to help get your proposal to the top of the pile. (The SSHRC site also provides tips and gives answers to frequently asked questions.)
Along with your official academic transcripts, which should be ordered as quickly as possible, in this section you may list up to six scholarships or awards that you have held.
Keep in mind that you can still win without listing any awards, so don't give up if you only have one or two (or none). If you are lucky enough to have won some, give priority to national awards (including the best paper at a conference or the best article in a journal) over provincial ones and university awards over departmental recognition. Recent awards also trump older ones unless the recent prize is relatively minor.
This section will generally make or break your application, so consult with your supervisor or mentor regularly as you prepare your proposal. And if your supervisor has not held a SSHRC fellowship recently, show a draft to a professor with a strong record as a grant-holder. Finally, attend any workshops that your university or SSHRC may provide to help you in preparing applications.
In my experience applying for and judging SSHRC competitions, reviewers typically respond favourably to:
Focus on what is relevant. Academic publications come first, then refereed conference presentations. Research and teaching assistantships can come next. Book reviews, public lectures, and other non-refereed publications might follow.
There is no harm in noting that you've organized a conference, chaired a panel, or refereed a manuscript for a peer-reviewed journal.
Generally speaking, your supervisor(s) must write this for you. If they don't, the committee is likely to interpret their absence as a vote of non-confidence.If you do have a choice (for example, if you didn't write an MA thesis), keep in mind that your referees must rank you against your peers, so solicit professors who will place you at the top of their list. (For more guidance on selecting referees, see How to ask for a reference letter)
This is largely outside of your control, but the more professional your conduct around the departmental office, the easier it will be for the committee to judge you objectively.
Two final pieces of advice:
In summary, there is no way around it – the application process for SSHRC doctoral fellowships is stressful and demanding. Nevertheless, if you follow this basic advice, you should finish the experience confident that you did everything you could to make your application as attractive as possible.
Good luck.

MMA Fans "Don't Give a Flying F*ck" About the MMA Media (and That's a Bad Thing)
("ARIEL!! ARIEL!! OMG HE TOTES JUST LOOKED IN OUR DIRECTION, YOU GUYS!!" *faints* Photo via Sherdog.)
By Matt Saccaro
A discussion about the MMA media surfaced on r/MMA recently, with the inflammatory title "Why do people on this subreddit refuse to acknowledge that the MMA media is bought and paid for?"
The OP (original poster for those unfamiliar with Internet lingo) linked our Shill 'Em All series as proof of the media's misdeeds, and also discussed Zach Arnold's Fight Opinion piece about the connection between WSOF and Zuffa.
MMA fans responded with apathy and quips. Here three select comments:
1. "Sports journalism should be about the sport, they are covering UFC fighters and fights, you don't need to be unbiased to write who won a fight and how it looked.
I personally don't give a flying fuck about what did Dana White do today, so if someone is biased and reports only the good stuff that paints him in a good light or someone is shitting on him I don't give a fuck either way.
My favorite writer is Jack Slack, and I don't think he mentioned UFC-s promotional practice or what color DW-s shit is, I read him because he is very good at analyzing fights and fighters, if I wanted to know about contracts, pay and substance abuse I'd go read a real newspaper (or not, given the state of journalism in general)."
2. "Who the fuck cares? Mma media sucks because of blog spam and click baiting, not your bullshit."
And my personal favorite:
3. "Cagepotato are only bitter because they had their credentials pulled."Read More DIGG THIS

Find a place for your party that has a non-porous floor, such as a basement with a concrete floor or perhaps concrete or asphalt for a street party.
How to Make a Foam Machine
For your party you sometimes want to do a little something extra. Imagine an evening of dancing in "clouds" made of foam. You can create the effect with easily available materials. With a little practice and a few precautions, you can make a foam machine that will give your guests an evening to remember.
Things You'll Need
- Heavy plastic
- Children's pool
- Clean 30-gallon trash can
- Wet/dry shop vac
- Garden hose
- Dish detergent or bubble bath
- Shop goggles
- Snow shovel
- Bucket
Begin by inflating a children's pool and putting it in the middle of the area for the party. Set a 30-gallon trash can in the children's pool as the base for your foam machine.
Put a wet/dry shop vac outside the party area. The hose from the shop vac runs over to and goes inside the trash. Attach a garden hose to a hot-water faucet and put the other end inside the trash can. You'll now have the garden hose and the shop vac hose inside the trash can.
Gather about 15 bottles of dishwashing detergent or, alternately, some bubble bath and put the bottles by the trash can. Put on safety goggles to protect your eyes from the soap.
Put the shop vac on blow rather than vacuum. Put the garden hose and the shop vac hose down into the trash can, and turn on the hot water and the shop vac. Hold both hoses in the can and squirt the bubble solution at the hot water to make foam. As the garden hose shoots water in, the shop vac blows water and foam out.
Keep the water rate steady so that the garden hose is supplying water at the same rate the shop vac blows foam out. You don't want water to overflow the top of the trash can. Watch the foam build up, pour over the top of the trash can, into the pool, and out onto the floor. Shovel the foam around the floor with a snow shovel, if necessary.
Fill a bucket with water from the pool as it fills up and empty into a drain so that water doesn't run out onto the floor.
- 1
Tips & Warnings
- Start putting together your foam machine before the party starts so you will have time to cover the floor with foam. It's a good idea to cover the floor and bottom of the walls with heavy plastic for cleanup afterwards.
- Experiment with this a day before the party so you're satisfied with the foam production. Have two to four people available to run the machine throughout the party who will have fun getting wet.
- Do not use this foam machine on a wood floor or in a room with drywall or plaster walls. When the foam dissolves back into water, it will damage the floor and walls.

Momporn - Links is the best XXX site complete with free tube videos
2 years ago
I support a response to something that has kept me looking for a great number of years. I mean, in 1975 I was working for a company in London, lived in the north, my wife and me, momporn was invited to a company party. What about the train home from London, is what I'm looking for all these years. The train had reached the old-style golf course with courses, achieved with two seats in them all the seats were 4 or 5 people, both momporn my wife and I had a lot of drinks consumed at the party, we in one compartment and sat down. asleep in the seat of the other was a man, my wife was face down, was always my fantasy to see what happened to my momporn wife, so after the journey that began with the feet of my wife, she sat had on a dress, began to momporn slide up the legs, lay down with the drink. A as the trip wore her dress was pushing all her legs and she was not wearing pants socks exposed, I stared at the man sleeping in the Old TestamentHeadquartered in the hope that up, they saw another man put his hand in the hallway peeking through the blinds. The next thing I remember is waking up to the station when I saw some of my women's clothes and took off his pants and she got back, was the man who was asleep in the seat of another missing. ask her many times in recent years, what has happened, he said, as she knew he was in a drunken sleep, but I said that I enjoy. My question is, if the man who had fallen asleep, or the one reached in the course, is there, then email momporn me what happened, my wife and I have been divorced for a couple of years, but I can not even get this from Mystry my opinion.

Richmond NHL prospect happier to play golf on draft day
"If you're not going where you're supposed to go you're just sitting there tense and nervous," says Brandon McMillan
Ben Kuzma, The Province
Published: Thursday, June 19, 2008
Judging by the admiration NHL scouts have for Richmond native Brandon McMillan, you'd think he'd be in Ottawa this weekend for the entry draft.
Not so.
Even though the Kelowna Rockets winger will likely leap from the third to the second round - several teams will jockey for position to land the swift-skating, two-way performer - he's staying back home in the Okanagan.
The Kelowna Rockets' Brandon McMillan streaks in on a breakaway as Chilliwack Bruin Jadon Potter gives chase
"I just think it's a lot of hype for just one day," said McMillan, 18, a product of the South Delta hockey association and ranked 78th overall by The Hockey News. "It's an exciting day, but if you're not going where you're supposed to go you're just sitting there tense and nervous.
"I'd rather be out in the sun in Kelowna, golfing or something like that."
McMillan did admit he'll watch the first round Friday because teammates Luke Schenn and Tyler Myers will be first-round selections, but that's about it. And that's not surprising.
McMillan's demeanour is much like his game. Far from a flashy player, he relies on speed, strength and accountability with and without the puck. After a 41-point WHL season, the 5-foot-11, 185-pounder was also a member of Canada's under-18 team that won gold in Russia last April. He had a goal and two assists in the tournament.
Called upon to play key minutes for Team Canada coach Pat Quinn - including penalty-killing and shutdown roles late in games - McMillan proved he could one day blossom into a responsible third-line NHL player and have a lengthy career.
"I love this kid because he's just that," said one NHL scout. "He even played a little bit of the point on the power play when they [Rockets] had injuries and is a very solid two-way player.
"He's not exceptional offensively, but he's exceptional defensively and to me this [second round] is where you take him. He's not going to be a high-end guy, but he's going to play 10 to 15 years."
Two developments played a key role in McMillan's rise. In the second year of bantam, he switched from defence to forward and, during his Grade 10 year, McMillan realized that the 207 pounds he was packing were too much.
First, the switch from defence.
"I just like to score goals," he said. "Being a forward you skate a lot more, but playing defence got the defensive mind going as well. That's why I think I'm a good two-way player."
McMillan got his weight down to 185 pounds by working on his legs and core strength. Power-skating lessons also added quickness to a strong stride.
"Probably my best asset is my speed and using it even when I don't have the puck," he said. "That's huge because you've got to be able to backcheck and you have to be able to forecheck to get into the right positions."
McMillan cites Steve Yzerman as an idol because the former Detroit Red Wings star was able to add a defensive component to his game when many labelled him a one-dimensional player.
That comparison didn't surprise another NHL scout, whose club will interview McMillan a second time in Ottawa.
"He's a bit of a sleeper," said the scout. "He has real hockey sense and is extremely smart. And he has a good change of speed that you don't see all the time. He'll burst through holes and score some big goals at different times."
Rockets general manager Bruce Hamilton said another reason for optimism with McMillan is his durability. The winger missed just one game last season and is expected to vie for a roster spot with Canada's world junior team.
"I don't know if we've seen the best of him, scoring-wise," said Hamilton. "When he becomes a little more polished he'll be better because he whole game is speed."
Rockets coach Ryan Huska noted that many scouts didn't realize how well McMillan skated this past season. He won the skating competition at the national prospects camp and proved on the under-18 world stage that he could excel.
"He's explosive and dangerous and that makes him an interesting pick," said Huska. "That's why he's getting a lot of attention."
Like any other prospect, there's a real curiosity about McMillan. At the NHL combine last month, he was hit with a wild question during the interview process with 16 teams.
"The weird one was: 'What would I do if one of the guys on my team was hitting on my girlfriend,'" he recalled. "I said: 'I'd try to work it out.' You don't want to get mad."
No. Just even.

Vancouver Sun article (Getting ready for the Beach)

Getting ready for the Beach
Iain MacIntyre, Vancouver Sun
Published: Thursday, June 19, 2008
OTTAWA - The Vancouver Canucks love Kyle Beach. But probably so do at least a couple of teams ahead of them in Friday's National Hockey League entry draft.
A year ago, Beach had an outshot shot to become the second or third over-all pick behind Steve Stamkos. Now, the physical centre from Kelowna is merely the second most talked about player available. This is interesting.
But add the Canucks to the story -- they pick 10th, which is where The Hockey News ranks Beach -- and the likelihood the 18-year-old will be the first British Columbian chosen, and the 18-year-old who plays for the Everett Silvertips becomes a truly fascinating case study for prospects with a past.
"He's the type of player you're afraid to pick, but also the type you're afraid to pass on," one B.C.-based NHL scout told The Vancouver Sun. "He may not be a good player for your team, but he'll be a good player for someone."
You may have heard that Beach has issues. Sorry, had.
Six times Beach was ejected from minor hockey games in the Okanagan, and he received a six-game suspension for bumping an official during a midget tournament. His reputation for undisciplined play caused Beach to slide to 10th in the Western Hockey League's 2005 bantam draft after he'd been considered a possible first pick.
Never mind. Beach marked his debut for Everett by making a hunchback gesture towards former Vancouver Giant Milan Lucic, who has a curved spine and was merely one of the WHL's most feared players. Beach fought Lucic and in his first two WHL seasons accumulated 28 fighting majors and 418 penalty minutes, none of those for scuffling with teammate Colten Teubert of White Rock during Team Canada's under-18 camp last summer.
The Team Canada incident in Calgary might have gone unnoticed, but for the 80 or so scouts sitting in the stands.
This is how nearly all the stories about Beach begin -- with that shopping list of transgressions and conjecture about his discipline and disposition how a bad reputation might hurt a good player.
"Lots of it doesn't bug me," Beach said before travelling here for the draft that begins Friday evening and continues Saturday. "I take it in and think about it. But at the same time, there's nothing you can do about it. Lots of these stories, I don't even know where they're coming from."
Not everyone is as unbothered as Beach by his reputation.
"It does bother me a little bit because the perception he has gotten is wrong," Silvertip Zach Hamill, the Port Coquitlam centre drafted eighth by the Boston Bruins a year ago, said of his junior teammate. "I think he gets it because of the way he plays. He's such an easy going guy, but because of the way he plays on the ice, people think he's that way as a person. There are 30 NHL GMs who want their players to go out and play on the edge like he does."
And 30 coaches. And 600 peers. And a million fans. But no NHL commissioner.
One of hockey's great hypocrisies is that intimidating, truculent players like Beach frequently are criticized for playing precisely the way they've been exhorted to most of their lives. No one wants a goon to go medieval on someone like Marty McSorley did to Donald Brashear or be stupid like Todd Bertuzzi was against Steve Moore.
But a guy like Beach, who is 6'3" and 205 pounds and still growing, who can skate and score and fight? And -- critically -- is well-behaved and well-adjusted off the ice and gets glowing testimonials from teammates and coaches? Nah, no one in hockey wants a player like that.
"The draft will validate him," Beach's agent, Vancouver-based Ross Gurney, predicted. "Someone is going to recognize how special this guy is. I've had top guys as clients -- Dan Hamhuis (chosen 12th by Nashville in 2001) and Zach Hamill. But there's more talk about this guy than any other player I've had in my portfolio in 10 years."
Every NHL team has interviewed Beach, who in a deep draft top heavy in defencemen stands out for his power-forward game. He had 27 goals, 60 points and 222 penalty minutes in 60 games with Everett this season, but struggled offensively in the second half, which explains his drop in NHL Central Scouting's final North American rankings to seventh from fourth at mid-term. The International Scouting Service, which blends all players, ranks Beach 13th.
"All the teams ask the same questions," Beach said. "It's kind of funny how one or two things will overshadow everything else. I made a couple of mistakes when I was 14, 15, 16 but they've followed me. I understand it's going to take a while to change that. The past year, I think I really made big strides."
The Canucks interrogated Beach twice, once at the scouting combines in Toronto last month and again two weeks ago when scouts Ron Delorme and Harold Snepsts were dispatched to conduct a follow-up interview.
Apparently, they like what they've heard because multiple sources indicate rookie general manager Mike Gillis will likely pick Beach if he gets the chance. But with the 10th selection, that's a huge "if."
The Toronto Maple Leafs, who draft seventh, are keenly interested in Beach. (Conspiracy theorists will note he is the type of player future GM Brian Burke adores). And it's not impossible that Beach could go even higher.
"There's a lot mixed stuff about Kyle Beach," Gillis said. "He seems to be a lightning rod for all sorts of things. People here like him as a player and our interview went well. In the totality of evaluating those type of things [rumours and reputation], you just have to be careful."
Gillis said he wants players who possess character and intelligence. The Canucks also desperately need a big, belligerent, right-shot centre who will go to the net like he means it.
"I feel my interview with Vancouver went really well," Beach said. "If I go 10th and I become a Vancouver Canuck, it's going to be a great honour. I've always been a bit of a Calgary Flames fan. But being from B.C., the Canucks would be a big honour."
Flames fan? Well, that's another strike against him.

Summer camp! The defining Canadian growing-up experience. So much fun, but more than that … so much learned.
At first glance, camp is a place for kids to learn to swim, sing or speak Spanish. But look closer.
The seven-year-old day campers catching tadpoles by the creek are engaged in a first-hand biology lesson. A troupe of tweens, some too shy to raise a hand in school, bow to applause, having found confidence and their voice in a summer drama production.
The group of 14-year-olds calculating cargo weight and distribution and charting the course for a three-day canoe trip are putting math and physics classes into action. At each day's end, they are reporters describing challenges met in stories and memories that fill personal journals. Teenagers gazing at constellations, shooting stars and dancing Northern Lights contemplate the wow and how of the universe and turn philosophical, considering their place in it.
Look closer still and you'll see children learning through choices made, chores divvied up, friendships forged … learning self-sufficiency, self-confidence and leadership.
You want the best for your kids. If a good education is top of the list, think of school- plus-camp as the winning combination.
Camp Builds Skills for Life

Coffee: Is it Good or Bad for You?
Scientists find health benefits from coffee
The Mayo Clinic
February 01, 2007
ROCHESTER, Minn. — If your morning beverage of choice is coffee, recent research provides an extra perk.
Like much-publicized green tea, which has garnered considerable attention due to its high antioxidant content, researchers have found that coffee is quite high in antioxidants. Antioxidants are generally helpful substances, found in foods, which scavenge unstable molecules (free radicals) in your body. Free radicals contribute to oxidative stress, which, over time, can cause inflammation and other unhealthy changes in your cells.
The February issue of Mayo Clinic Women's HealthSource highlights news about these health benefits of coffee:
Reduced risk of inflammation and cardiovascular disease. A study of more than 27,000 postmenopausal women concluded that coffee's antioxidant properties may inhibit inflammation and, consequently, development of cardiovascular disease.
Reduced risk of diabetes: It appears that routine coffee consumption, particularly decaffeinated coffee, substantially lowers your risk of type 2 diabetes.
Brain protection: Among a group of 890 older women, a history of consuming caffeinated coffee throughout their life appears to help preserve cognitive skills — thinking, memory and comprehension — possibly because of long-term caffeine exposure.
Reduced risk of Parkinson's disease: A large trial called the Nurses' Health Study found that low levels of caffeine intake reduced the risk of Parkinson's disease in women who used postmenopausal hormone therapy. In women who didn't use hormones, caffeine intake at moderate to high levels decreased the risk of Parkinson's.
Some studies highlighted the health risks of coffee, too. For example, the Nurses' Health Study also showed that high levels of caffeine — six or more cups a day — increased the risk of Parkinson's in women who used hormone therapy.
Of course, too much caffeine can cause restlessness, anxiety, irritability, tremors, sleeplessness, headaches, gastrointestinal symptoms and abnormal heart rhythms. In some individuals, caffeine can increase blood pressure. Some people are extra sensitive to even slight amounts of caffeine.
For most people, it appears that a moderate daily intake of coffee — two to four cups — doesn't seem to hurt and may even help.

SPASH graduate and current San Jose Shark Joe Pavelski has sustained a leg injury during his play in the KHL.
The good news is the injury is reportedly minor and shouldn't keep him out of the lineup by the end of the month. Pavelski appeared in all 82 games for the Sharks last season. Pavelski has struggled through foot and leg injuries throughout his career, most notably missing 15 games with a foot injury early in the 2009-10 season.
With the NHL still in a lockout this should not effect Pavelski's NHL season if/when they start playing.

Each physical therapy treatment has a code that must be recorded in the patient's billing information. The set of physical therapy CPT codes is an essential part of billing practices. A code can describe the type and duration of the treatment. This is how the insurance company determines how much to pay the physical therapist. Therefore, a basic understanding of what the physical therapy CPT codes mean and how they are used is necessary for any physical therapist and staff in the clinic who might have billing responsibilities.
CPT codes is an acronym for Current Procedure Terminology codes. The complete list of physical therapy CPT codes is made and maintained by the American Medical Association (AMA). The list is updated annually. Every year, the physical therapist can purchase the book that contains the list of physical therapy CPT codes. It is not recommended to try to keep using the same book for codes rather than buying new books every year since using outdated codes can cause billing errors, nonpayment, and delays in receiving payment for services from insurance companies.
The American Medical Association protects the list from copyright infringement. People are not allowed to publish copies of the list of physical therapy CPT codes. The companies that make and distribute medical billing or office management software buy the rights to use the physical therapy CPT codes in their software programs. Some of these programs allows the physical therapist to enter the codes directly in the patient's digital record during the treatment session. This helps prevent missing information and errors in the patient's billing data.
Insurance companies have lists of physical therapy CPT codes of the services that the policies cover. A patient who needs physical therapy treatment may notice these codes when consulting the insurance information to see if a treatment is covered. The patient also can ask the staff at the physical therapy business or call the insurance company for information about insurance coverage for a treatment.
Medical billing is often called medical coding due to the use of codes to indicate the types of services performed and how much the insurance company owes the physical therapist for the services. Physical therapy offices may have software that contains a scrolling list of the physical therapy CPT codes.
Accuracy is very important when adding physical therapy CPT codes to the billing information. The wrong code can lead to mistakes in billing and delays in getting paid for the services that were provided. It is common for all doctors' offices to have some loss of revenue due to mistakes in billing.

Presentations are Fridays, 10 a.m. in McInnis Auditorium (St. Davids campus) unless otherwise indicated.
Sponsored by the Office of the Provost and open to the public.

Fall 2014
* An asterisk after dates below indicates that following that particular presentation, the Provost's Office will host an informal luncheon in Baird Library (Walton Hall, 2nd floor) from 11:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. to extend the conversation over a meal. Participants should go through the Dining Commons line and bring their lunches back to Baird Library. Guests without a meal plan should give their names to the Sodexo cashier outside the Dining Commons and mention that they are attending the Windows luncheon.
Friday, AUGUST 29: FALL ACADEMIC CONVOCATION (10:00 a.m. in the University Gym at St. Davids)- Special Speaker: Dr. Ron Matthews, Professor of Music, Eastern University. "Pertinent Persistence". The Academic Convocation is a meaningful, time-honored tradition at Eastern University, during which we gather to corporately welcome new students, faculty, administrators, and staff, to celebrate student achievements, and to ask God's blessing on our new beginnings. Dr. Ron Matthews, Professor of Music, will be the speaker; the title of his address is "Pertinent Persistence." PLEASE NOTE: 11:00 a.m. classes will start late as a result.
Friday, SEPTEMBER 5 *: Marie Monville, Author of One Light Still Shines: My Life Beyond the Shadow of the Amish, Schoolhouse Shooting, "Bright Light in Dark Places". "When all other lights go out, He still shines!" This became the anthem to Marie's life when on October 2, 2006, her then husband made a decision to hold an Amish school house hostage, forever changing life as she knew it. This is Marie's testimony, forged while moving through unthinkable circumstances, into the unfathomable love of the Father. On her darkest day, Marie simply chose to believe that HE IS. This act of faith radically propelled her into a future she could not have hoped for nor imagined. Marie writes: "We all experience times of darkness, places we can barely see our way through. Through the power and love of Christ we have the ability to transform the darkness with his glorious light – impacting our life and the lives of those around us. Isaiah spoke of the coming Prince of Peace, and Christ made the declaration in Matthews 4:16 'The people who were sitting in darkness saw a great light, and those who were sitting in the land and shadow of death, upon them a light dawned.'" Marie hopes to inspire us to have confidence in who God has called us to be so that we may light the way for others to find him.
Friday, SEPTEMBER 12 *: Dr. Randall Balmer, Mandel Family Professor in the Arts & Sciences, Chair, Department of Religion, Dartmouth College. "His Own Received Him Not: Jimmy Carter, the Religious Right, and the 1980 Presidential Election". The political career of Jimmy Carter, America's "born again" president, is riddled with paradox, but none more confounding than the fact that evangelicals, who helped propel him to the White House, turned so dramatically – and rabidly – against him four years later. How was it that evangelicals switched allegiances so completely in the course of Carter's presidency?
NOTE: Dr. Balmer will also be with us on Thursday, September 11, 7:00 p.m. in McInnis Auditorium, speaking on "The Historian's Pickaxe: Uncovering the Origins of the Religious Right." One of the most durable myths in recent political history is the fiction that the Religious Right emerged as a political entity in direct response to the United States Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision of 1973. The real catalyst, however, was not quite so lofty. What really happened, and why?
Friday, SEPTEMBER 19: Kristyn Komarnicki, Editor, PRISM Magazine, Evangelicals for Social Action. "Sexual Justice: Why what we do with our bodies matters". We were created out of the eros of God, who planted within us a love of beauty, a hunger for touch, and a longing for intimacy. We'll look through the lens of the Theology of the Body to discover the gift of our sexuality and how we can live out that gift every day.
Friday, SEPTEMBER 26: Dr. Kathy-Ann Hernandez, Professor of Education, Eastern University. "Power in the Margins". Each person's life story is colored by "margin" experiences. The margin represents a position of vulnerability—the place where we are confronted with personal, social, and professional injustices or challenges. Far from being a position of weakness, however, there is power in the margins. In this presentation, Dr. Kathy-Ann Hernandez explores how tapping into that power is the basis for not only waging war against such injustices and challenges but for finding the pathway to meaningful work and service.
Friday, OCTOBER 3 *: John Hayes, Executive Director, InnerChange, London "God Has a Right Brain: An Artist Living in the Margins Calls for Creative Incarnational Ministry". With thirty years of experience leading InnerCHANGE, a Christian Order incarnationally postured in inner cities, barrios and slum communities around the world, John Hayes has found that artists can spark creative vitality through an ability to see capacity where others typically see problems. John talks about maintaining an identity as both missionary and artist, and shares stories of discovering unexpected beauty in the margins which provokes ongoing celebration.
Friday, OCTOBER 10 *: Dr. Robert J. Priest, G.W. Aldeen Professor of International Studies, Professor of Mission and Anthropology, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. "Towards Integrating Anthropology and Christian Faith: My Story". Dr. Priest will tell his own story of how he has attempted to integrate Christianity and anthropology, highlighting issues and ideas related to faith, science, and life experience. Dr. Priest is Professor of Mission and Anthropology at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Chicago. He was raised in a missionary family in Bolivia, and returned to do anthropological research among the Aguaruna of Peru, before becoming one of the foremost Christian anthropologists in this country. Dr. Priest's research interests have focused on race and ethnicity, short-term missions, moral discourse, witchcraft, preaching and culture, money and missions, religious conversion, and anthropology of religion.
Friday, OCTOBER 24: Dr. Lindy Backues, Associate Professor of Economic Development, Eastern University. "A Biblical Case Study – Who is Good?". The gospel is good news – presumably, good news embodied by and offered through good people. But what does it mean to be good? Who is it that is good? One of Jesus' best known stories confronts us with the startling reality that goodness often comes packaged in unexpected people, an idea that threatens to modify or even render obsolete many of our categories of right and wrong. Jesus' statements on the topic seem designed to startle the listener, leaving us asking what we should do with such provocation.
Friday, OCTOBER 31 (to be held in the University Gym at St. Davids) *. Dr. Elizabeth Conde-Frazier, Dean, Esperanza College. "Justice Acts of Modern Day Apostles". Faith, reason and justice require intercultural skills. When we enter into God's call through our different professions we are called to express this in a world of diverse cultures whose histories of engagement with one another are filled with injustice. How does the Holy Spirit make us the people of Pentecost, gifting us with languages for communication in every culture?
Friday, NOVEMBER 7 *: Michael Gingerich and Tom Kaden, Founders of Someone To Tell It To, a non-profit counseling service. "Someone To Tell It To: Sharing Life's Journey". Michael and Tom will share stories from their book by the same title, published by Thomas Nelson/Zonderan/Westbow Press July 2014. The stories give voice to Michael and Tom's own journeys of faith and ministry, as well as speak to the pain, brokenness, joy and triumphs of some of the people they have encountered along the journey who have been wounded by the church.
Friday, NOVEMBER 14 *: Rev. Dr. Emilio Marrero, Vice President of National Programs, Esperanza. "The Politics of Collaboration; A Way Forward for Hispanic Community". Dr. Marrero's presentation will share the vision of Esperanza College of Eastern University, and reflect on ministry, outreach, and collaboration with and within the Hispanic community – along with the challenges this cultural community confronts in the U.S. on many fronts. Dr. Marrero will reflect on his own experience as a Hispanic, and cast a critical eye on assumptions about Hispanics, integration, and the politics of collaboration.
Friday, NOVEMBER 21 *: HAHA (Hunger and Homelessness Awareness) WEEK. Chris Haw, EU Alum '03, carpenter, painter, theologian, and potter and author. "On loving a ruined city and a messy church". After graduating from Eastern in 2003, Chris moved into an abandoned house in Waterfront South, Camden, NJ. Having formed a partnership with a Catholic Church there, he spent a decade living, working, and worshipping there. He will be discussing what it is like to live in faith and in community with others amidst pervasive abandonment, poverty, and a neighborhood full of the good and bad.
Friday, DECEMBER 5: Music and Dance Departments, Eastern University. Eastern University's Music and Dance Departments will lead us in expressing the joy of this holy season.

November 28, 2014
CHICAGO (AP) -- Illinois is marking the anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks with solemn remembrances.
In Chicago, retired Lt. Col. Ryan Yantis, a survivor of the attack on the Pentagon, will address members of the Union League Club. Bells will ring and the audience will observe a moment of silence.
In Naperville, there will be a speech by the teacher of one of the passengers of United Airlines Flight 93. The passengers and crew of that hijacked flight were able to stop the terrorists from reaching their intended target: the U.S. Capitol.
Gov. Pat Quinn on Tuesday unveiled an exhibit of portraits of nearly all the Illinois men and women who died in the attacks or in combat since Sept. 11. The drawings are on display Wednesday at Columbia College Chicago.
