Phillip Lim Resort 2009
3.1 Phillip Lim Resort 2009
As a point of inspiration, Phillip Lim imagined the woman who might best wear his mid-season offerings. Frankly, the designer couldn't have been more candid, as he said she would be, "young with an old soul". We think this best describes the transformation we're seeing from Lim as the seasons pass. From his flirty days at Development to his current collections, Lim's aesthetic has grown increasingly mature. His first few collections out of the gates (those that had every twenty-something dropping hundreds--even if it meant eating Ramen noodles for a month) consisted of 'fun and flirty' belted frocks and guazy blouses and the young fashionistas rightly ate it up. A few seasons later things turned out a bit more menswear inspired, a bit more rock n' roll, and we can't help but wonder if this wasn't Lim's subtle (or subconscious) way of weening us off the flirt-factor. Now, starting with Spring 08 and ending with this most recent Resort collection, we feel like Lim has hit his stride and positioned himself exactly where he wanted to end up in the first place. Namely, dressing a wealthy, and more conservative, customer. Sure, she could be in her twenties, but she certainly isn't the sort who also wears Ella Moss and LaRok (and she was before). Now, that is, she's the sort who wears brands like Marni or YSL and when she drops cash on vacation gear, she's not going to have to eat Ramen for the next month.

Betrayal: The Crisis in the Catholic Churchby The Boston Globe, Ben Bradlee Jr. (Foreword by)
They were the men most trusted: Father Geoghan, Father Birmingham, Father Shanley, Father Trupia, and hundreds of others. They were the rulers of the Catholic Church: Cardinal Law, Cardinal Egan, Cardinal Mahony, and others. They promised to live by the gospel and to care for their parishioners. And they were believed. Now, the investigative staff of the Boston Globe delivers the full, devastating account of the Church's decades-long cover-up that has left millions of American Catholics shocked and angry. Spanning the United States and the entire Church hierarchy, Betrayal tells the story of scores of abusive priests who preyed upon innocent children, and the cabal of senior Church officials who covered up their crimes. When accused, abusive priests were quietly whisked away by Church officials to new parishes. While Church leaders were excessively compassionate toward priests who were alleged to have raped children, they treated the victims with scorn and cold indifference. Politicians, police, and prosecutors often deferred to the Church, allowing habitual abusers shelter and escape. The Church secretly paid out more than $1.3 billion in "hush money" to buy victims' silence -- and thus keep tens of millions of Catholics from knowing the truth about the men who ran their parishes.
It was the Boston Globe in January 2002 that broke the story of how the Boston archdiocese coddled pedophile priest John Geoghan, triggering the scandal within the Catholic Church, and throughout the crisis the Globe has continued to lead the media in reporting on major developments. Betrayal adds new, never-before-disclosed details. It shows exactly how and to where abusive priests were shuffled, as well as who knew about the problem and did nothing to stop it. Betrayal also explores the nature of sexual abuse and whether a disproportionate number of abusers are found in the priesthood -- and, if so, why. And the book paints a vivid picture of the struggle ahead, as Catholics confront their Church and call for sweeping change.

Read an Excerpt
Father Geoghan
He was a small, wiry man with a disarming smile that, from a distance, gave him the gentle bearing of a kindly uncle or a friendly neighborhood shopkeeper. It was hard to detect the darkness behind John Geoghan's bright eyes.At first glance, almost no one did.
Frank Leary certainly didn't see it. The fifth of six children being raised by a single mother on welfare, Leary was thirteen years old and had yet to learn his older brothers' tricks for ditching Mass on Sunday mornings when he first encountered Geoghan in the late spring of 1974. The priest's smiling face was already a fixture at the back of St. Andrew's Church in the Jamaica Plain section of Boston.After Mass, the parish priest would hug the mothers, shake hands with the fathers, and deliver soft pats to the backs of the children.
"He always had a big grin—it was as wide as his face," Leary recalled.
"My mother liked him. He was very popular. He was like a little imp." Leary said hello to the priest, received his friendly tap across the shoulder blades, and didn't focus on Geoghan again until the summer.
The rectory groundskeeper was Leary's friend, and Leary helped out a couple times a week, raking freshly mowed grass or gathering hedge clippings in a wheelbarrow. It was taxing work under an August sun, and one afternoon Geoghan bounded down the short steps of the rectory, offering a tall, cool glass of lemonade. Leary thanked the priest but demurred. He didn't like lemonade. But the priest insisted, and sweetened the offer. He had a wonderful stamp collection that the boy might enjoy. Soon the priest and the boy were upstairs in Geoghan's room at the rectory.
Leary sat in a large leather chair in the middle of the room, and the priest handed him an oversized book that contained the stamp collection. The priest went to the back of the room, keeping up a constant, reassuring patter. The collection did not hold the boy's interest, but Geoghan pressed the matter. "He said,'Here, I'll show you a few things.' And he had me get up and he sat down and I sat on his lap," said Leary. The priest placed his hand on Leary's knee and started turning pages that were a blur to the boy. Geoghan told him that his mother had suggested the visit. But still, Geoghan said, they should keep it a secret. All the while the priest's hand climbed farther up Leary's leg, until it reached under his cotton shorts and beneath his underwear.
"He was touching me, fondling me. I'm frozen. I didn't know what the hell was going on. He was talking constantly. He said, 'Shut the book. Close your eyes.We'll say the Hail Mary.' And that's what I did." But before the prayer was finished, the boy darted from the room, hurried down the stairs, and found himself shaking behind the church.
Within a week or so, it happened again. Leary was sweeping concrete next to the church when Geoghan walked up, put his arm around the teenager, and told him how special he was. The priest then ushered Leary back into the rectory, where, Leary later said, he saw a scowling nun standing at the foot of the stairs.
Geoghan swept past the nun and directed Leary to the same chair in which the first attack had occurred. The shades were drawn against the summertime brightness. At first, the priest stood behind him, placing his hands on Leary's shoulders. He asked the boy to begin reciting the most familiar prayers of the Catholic faith: the Our Father and the Hail Mary. "I'm praying and I've got my eyes closed. And he moves over to the chair and pulls my pants down one leg. And I couldn't move. I was frozen. He had his shoulder on my chest at this point. He was praying too. And I was saying prayers, following him. I'm shaking. I felt very, very strange. I couldn't do anything."
Geoghan moved down the young boy's body and began to perform oral sex on him. "I was trying to hold back the tears and keep saying my prayers and keep my eyes closed. I didn't see him do that. I remember being pushed back in my chair."
The assault did not last long. Perhaps only a minute, Leary estimated, before it was interrupted by a sudden commotion. "Geoghan stood straight up. The door flew open. And a priest with longish white hair started yelling at him. 'Jack, we told you not to do this up here! What the hell are you doing! Are you nuts?' He was yelling and screaming, and I just remember floating out of that chair."
Leary fled to a tree-shaded spot behind the school and tried to regain his composure. He sat for a while in a local cemetery, and when he finally went home, he went directly to his room. He didn't tell anyone about the assault for many years.
Geoghan had been a Catholic priest for a dozen years at the time Leary says Geoghan sexually assaulted him. As he moved through parishes in and around Boston-from the edges of the city to the tony suburbs beyond-he was known as "Father Jack" to the people in the pews. He baptized their babies. He celebrated their weddings. He prayed over their dead, sprinkling the caskets with holy water. On Saturday afternoons, he sat in the dark and, from behind a screen, listened to their sins and meted out their penance. On Sunday mornings, he delivered the word of God to them.
For faithful Catholic mothers, especially those struggling to raise a large family by themselves, Geoghan seemed a godsend. He was there on their doorsteps with an offer to help. He'd take their sons out for ice cream. He'd read to them at bedtime. He would pray with them beside their beds.He would tuck them in for the night.
And then, in the near darkness, their parish priest would fondle them in their nightclothes, pressing a finger to his lips and swearing them to secrecy.
"He looked like a little altar boy," said Maryetta Dussourd, who eagerly and proudly allowed Geoghan access to the small apartment where she lived with her daughter, three sons, and four of their cousins in Jamaica Plain. Geoghan was a calculating predator whose deceptive charm opened many doors.
As he sits today in oversized prison-issued clothing, John J. Geoghan is perhaps the nation's most conspicuous example of a sexually abusive member of the clergy, not just because of the stunning number of his victims—nearly two hundred have come forward so far—but because of the delicate and deceptive way the Church handled his sins. For more than two decades, even as two successive cardinals and dozens of Church officials in the Boston archdiocese learned that Geoghan could not control his compulsion to attack children, Geoghan found extraordinary solace in the Church's culture of secrecy.
"Yours has been an effective life of ministry, sadly impaired by illness. On behalf of those you have served well, and in my own name, I would like to thank you," Cardinal Bernard F. Law wrote to Geoghan in 1996, long after the priest's assaults had been detected. "I understand yours is a painful situation. The passion we share can indeed seem unbearable and unrelenting. We are our best selves when we respond in honesty and trust. God bless you, Jack."
Geoghan was one among many. And while the breadth of his assaults was vast, they were perhaps not as horrific as those committed by fellow priests who in some cases violently raped their young prey and then shooed them away as they resumed their priestly ministry. If it was a secret to the daily communicants and the congregations that filled the churches on Sunday mornings, it was common knowledge among Church leaders, who heard the anguished pleas from the mothers and fathers of children abused by priests. They promised to address the problem. They vowed they would not let it happen again.And then they did.
When Maryetta Dussourd discovered that Geoghan was molesting her boys—one of them just four years old—she found no solace from her friends or her church. Fellow parishioners shunned her. They accused her of provoking scandal. Church officials implored her to keep quiet. It was for the sake of the children, they said. Don't sue, they warned her. They told her that no one would believe her.
"Everything you have taught your child about God and safety and trust—it is destroyed," said Dussourd, whose claims against the Church were settled in a 1997 confidential agreement—like scores of others in which the victims received money and the Church obtained their silence.
Until January 2002, when this scandal erupted, priests were the men whose Roman collars conferred upon them the reflexive trust of parents who considered it an honor to have them in their homes. That was certainly how it had been with Geoghan. On warm summer days when he arrived without notice and offered to take their little boys out for ice cream cones, they swelled with pride and wished the priest well on his outing with their kids.When he showed up on their doorstep at night offering bedtime stories, they were certain that God had smiled on their children.

A Pulitzer Prize is awaiting the 'Boston Globe' and its investigative reporters who assiduously pursued the sex abuse story of Boston area Catholic priests. Their excellent compilation of information published as 'Betrayal' is a necessary read for all who want to root out child abuse in our society, for all believing people wo love the church, and for all who are seeking to reform the church according to Vactican II. The chapter 'His Eminence' is the best information available on the secrative bishop of Boston, but it fails to tell what happened in Law's life at Harvard in the early 1950s that moved him to pursue the priesthood. Was it the fanatical preaching of the Catholic chaplain at Harvard, Leonard Feeney? How did Law relate to his roommates and the general Harvard environment? Law is almost unique among the Catholic hierarchy in never getting an advanced degree in any discipline. As Ben Bradley Jr., the duputy managing editor at the 'Globe,' wrote in his foreward '... the story is still unfording, and will likely take years before all the facts are known....' The reporters should now follow the evidence of 'sex rings' among the Boston clergy.
To any who have wondered how the sexual abuse scandal in the Catholic Church was allowed to mushroom into such huge proportions, this is a must read. This explains details of the secrecy and coverup, which in many ways make the actions of the individual priests pale in comparison to the gravities of the offenses committed by the heirarchy that leads the church.

Typhoon deprives villagers of water, electricity
The China Post news staff Sunday, August 5, 2012, 12:10 am TWN
The China Post news staff--Many parts of Taiwan have yet to recover from the damage inflicted by Typhoon Saola, and many residents in affected areas still lack access to clean water and electricity.
Nanshan and Siji, two neighboring small villages in the mountains of Yilan County, have been completely isolated after the only road leading to them was badly damaged by landslides triggered by heavy rainfall last week.
Saola dumped 2,000 millimeters of rain in the area surrounding the two villages in the northeastern county in three days. Water and electricity supply to the almost 2,000 villagers have been completely cut off.
Yilan County Magistrate Lin Tsung-hsien and rescuers delivered food and bottled water to the villagers by helicopter.
Around 100 people, including pregnant women, children and the ill, were airlifted to safety.
The villagers expressed worries over hygiene due to the lack of water and electricity, asking that supply be resumed as soon as possible. They also expressed the hope that the road will be reopened soon.
Transport authorities said the road will not be reopened until Aug. 10, and in the meantime technicians have to walk or be airlifted to the villages to repair the utility lines.
Meanwhile, President Ma Ying-jeou visited the Saola-devastated Hualien County in Eastern Taiwan. Many parts of Hualien were badly hit by mudslides.
A large number of village houses remained buried in mud as the president arrived to survey the gravity of the disasters. Many residents gathered around, standing on the roofs of their damaged homes to see what the president had to say.
Ma promised that the central government will do its utmost to help the affected to rebuild their homes or have them relocated.
One of the village chiefs revealed that when the mudslide hit, villagers had to climb onto roofs and wait for help — the very same spots they were now standing while listening to the president.
The chief said the villagers need shelters, but the ultimate question is whether their villages need to be rebuilt somewhere else.

Dom Duff
Duff the beaten track
Brittany has plenty of apostles, eulogists, ambassadors and defenders. What it needed was a rebel icon – and this has been a done deal since the turn of the new millennium. Dom Duff with his power folk has paved the way for a new style in Breton culture, faithful and fiery. A welcome injection of rage into Brittany.
Duff's music is what French teenagers call 'ouf' – by which they mean that Dom's folk is mad, 'fou'! But before he came out from his coastal hideaway and set off alone, eschewing the beaten track of Breton music, this Plouescat singer spent ten years as a member of the group Diwall. The year 2000 became synonymous with a giant leap into the unknown, heralding a new era for Breton music. A year with lots of 0s – an ideal time to go solo?
Passionate rage
Brits call it power folk, and Dom Duff can set your hair on end and your ears on fire with his powerful, aggressive riffs. The lyrics are no less important, rugged and openly rebellious. The inventor of a new form of Breton musical expression, over the course of a decade this guitarist has shown himself to be the songwriter that the entire region was waiting for. He has even turned Breton into an international language, in contrast to current Celtic culture that he feels is too rigid. So there is good in Duff's passionate rage, it's a perfect shortcut to high flying. And if that weren't enough to convince the sceptics, we recommend the albums (Straed an Amann, Lagan, E-unan and Roc'h) recorded by our raging wayfarer – that'll make them adopt the right roc'h'n' roll attitude. These songs tattooed by our very own Dom Quixote, a knight beyond all reproach, now belong to them, and to anyone who wants to listen. Whatever happens, our deserving, dangerous Duff will still be ringing those summoning bells

Jesse Ryder and Doug Bracewell have been fined for misconduct following a late night episode on the eve of the first ANZ Test against India in Auckland.
The two squad members were out drinking until 3am the morning of the match.
New Zealand Head of Cricket Operations Lindsay Crocker says the players have accepted a charge of misconduct and have been fined in line with the terms and conditions of their individual player agreements. The amount of the fine remains confidential.
Crocker says by far the biggest consequence for the pair will be the damage caused to their relationship with the BLACKCAPS selectors - Head Coach Mike Hesson and General Manager National Selection Bruce Edgar.
"The New Zealand selectors place great emphasis on qualities such as personal responsibility, trustworthiness and dependability – and will continue to do so with our encouragement.
"All players in contention for the BLACKCAPS need to satisfy the selectors of their commitment to prepare conscientiously for international fixtures."
The BLACKCAPS squad for the second Test against India in Wellington will be named later today.

SURGEONS at Southmead Hospital and breast cancer survivors are fast becoming a web phenomenon after shaking their stuff in an all-singing all-dancing quirky video.
Around 100 Bristol Breast Care Centre staff and former patients let their hair down, bust their best moves for the fun video, in a bid to win the 2013 European Pink Glove Dance Competition's €10,000 prize for the Breast Cancer Unit Support Trust charity (BUST).
To reach first place, the clip, which features doctors, nurses and BUST supporters dancing in pink gloves to One Direction's What Makes You Beautiful, simply needs to gain the most online votes.
Voting opened on October 25 until November 8. The winning video will be announced on November 15.
Simon Cawthorn, consultant breast surgeon at Southmead Hospital, plays the saxophone alongside fellow consultant surgeon turned accordionist Zenon Rayter in the clip.
He said: "Filming the Pink Glove Dance video was a great team experience. All of the hospital staff and patients got into the spirit of the day and ended up dancing and posing in a variety of fun situations.
"We now need as many people as possible to watch and vote for our video so we can win the prize money of €10,000 for our charity BUST. The Pink Glove Video is a great way of raising breast awareness. Breast cancer becomes more common every year – now one in eight women in the USA and one in nine in the UK develop the disease."
Staff gave up their own time to film the video on a Sunday when the unit was closed.
BUST was formed in 1991 by Frenchay Hospital patients Pamela Corrigan, Carol Thomas and Margaret Twiggs, after learning from Mr Cawthorn that his team needed a £20,000 ultra-sound scanner. The trio raised the sum in just two years. Their impressive achievement led to the creation of the hospital's specialist Breast Care Centre with its One Stop Clinic.
Jenny Wookey, BUST chairman, added: "The passion and energy displayed by everyone has been absolutely amazing.
"We were also very lucky to have the help of Simon's film maker son Josh and two UWE Film Studies Graduates who donated their time and expertise for free. We will do anything to raise awareness of breast cancer. This video is a great opportunity to help with this and will also hopefully win us the all important cash that we so need."

TFO's TiCr
I went shopping for a Sage Fli and it was OK when I cast it...then I grabbed the TFO TiCr in a 9' 5 wt....and it was like it was made for me. Long casts were effortless and surprisingly a lot of feel on shorter casts. I've never had a rod feel that good from the get go. Anyone out there have any experience with TFO? and how would you compare them to the big guys - Sage, Loomis, Scott Etc?

'Hunger Games' Star Scores Payday
March 27, 2012 by staff
'Hunger Games' Star Scores Payday, With a record-breaking worldwide weekend haul of more than $214 million, The Hunger Games' prospects seem anything but anemic — not just for the franchise but also for stars Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth.
Its domestic gross of $152.5 million ranks only behind Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 and The Dark Knight in all-time opening weekends, which should also mean a big financial windfall for its three stars.
Although Lawrence was paid only $500,000 to play Katniss Everdeen in the film, she is set to receive "escalators," bonuses that kick in when the movie crosses certain box-office thresholds (which by all accounts it already has crossed).
She stands to bring in more than $1 million by the time the film finishes its theatrical run and can expect greater rewards going forward. By comparison, sources say she was paid scale — somewhere in the range of $3,000 a week — for her breakthrough role as Ree in Deborah Granik's Winter's Bone, so the payday marks a quantum leap from her previous salaries.

XDm 3.8
I wasn't sure if any of you guys have seen this yet, but Springfield just came out with a new XDm model. They call it the 3.8. It comes in 9mm and is deisned for conceal carry. I think it still holds 19 rounds but is shorter(3.8 inches instead of 4.5). It looks pretty nice and has different serrations on the slide. I just wish they would have come out with a 45 in the XDm first. Springfield Armory - Introducing the XD(m) Polymer Handgun
That is bad ass. I want one. Much easier to conceal then my 4.5 inch barrel for sure:D
I thought it was pretty sweet too, I just wish they would expand the XDm line a little bit faster.
I would like it better if the stock was shorter.
I would like it if the stock was shorter too...and it needs to be a .40. :)
We can't get XDm's in California. I guess they're dangerous or something. :rolleyes:
I think it's a neat little piece but personally would have a hard time finding a need for it. Springfield is riding the XD cash cow and they should, it's a very popular weapon right now. A great weapon too I might add.
You also wouldn't have to pull the trigger to break it down
I have no problem with pulling the trigger....:confused:
I understand about the better trigger on the (m) version. It's just that I see the pistol as a very good self-defense weapon and, in that role, the trigger doesn't matter that much to me. If I were using the XD for competition or something like that, it would be a different story. And then the match-grade barrel would make a difference, too. But, for what I use it for.......nah.
Spitty is right, it's another way to sell more of what has already been a wildly successful product.

But aside from a few old bistro standbys like Le Quincy and À La Biche au Bois, these neighborhoods didn't have many restaurants to boast about. That situation has changed dramatically.
Rodolphe Paquin was one of the first chefs to take advantage of this vacuum when he opened Le Repaire de Cartouche, not far from the Place de la Bastille, more than ten years ago. "It was obvious the neighborhood was getting younger and more affluent," he says. "The rent was half of what I'd have paid in the seventh or the eighth." Inventive dishes like his carpaccio of calf's head with oyster vinaigrette and his côte de sanglier (wild boar) with pickled beets have been packing them in ever since.
Paquin was a pioneer, but today this patch of Paris teems with destination restaurants, including Le Chateaubriand, one of the city's best contemporary bistros and certainly its most popular. The talented young chef Inaki Aizpitarte first attracted attention at La Famille, in Montmartre. And since he moved to the Oberkampf section of the 11th two years ago, his food has become even more intriguing. He does a single menu nightly, and it reflects both his background—he's from the Basque Country and traveled in Latin America and Israel before moving to Paris—and his sometime fascination with Japan. "Everything I do is intended to tease as much of the natural taste out of my produce as possible," he says, and dishes like mackerel ceviche with Tabasco and slow-cooked tuna belly with asparagus and chorizo deliciously prove his point. His grilled pork belly with a sauce of réglisse (licorice root) and a small salad of grated celery root offers a brilliant contrast of textures and flavors.
Oberkampf is also a great bet for wine lovers. Le Marsangy, a relaxed and friendly bistro with very good food, has an excellent wine list, as does the consistently good Le Villaret. And there are regular wine tastings at La Cave de l'Insolite, one of the city's most interesting new wine shops. (Nearby, La Bague de Kenza, on the Rue Saint-Maur, sells the best Algerian pastries in Paris.)
In the Faubourg Saint-Antoine, the neighborhood that straddles the 11th and 12th arrondissements along the street of the same name, Le Bistrot Paul Bert has become so popular it can be tough to score a table. What drives this trio of cozy dining rooms decorated with flea-market bric-a-brac is some of the best traditional bistro cooking to be found in Paris today. The chalkboard menu changes often but runs to dishes like coddled eggs with cèpes, coucou de Rennes (a Breton breed of chicken prized for its delicate flesh) in a sauce of morels and vin jaune, and their much-loved signature dessert, a sublime Paris-Brest, the praline-buttercream-filled round choux pastry created to commemorate a bicycle race between the two cities from which it takes its name. L'Écailler du Bistrot, run by the same owners as Le Bistrot Paul Bert, is a terrific address for seafood lovers, and on the same street the hip La Cocotte, Argentinean-born Andrea Wainer's wonderfully eclectic gastroshop, sells everything from cookbooks and table linens to kitchen equipment and the world's best dulce de leche. Next door is Crus et Découvertes, a first-rate new wine shop.
Other excellent restaurants in the area include Au Vieux Chêne, serving up a delicious market-driven menu; Chez Ramulaud, a relaxed bistro with an inventive menu, a stylish crowd, and a great wine list; and La Gazzetta, where young Swedish chef Petter Nilsson has generated major word of mouth with dishes that are variously of Scandinavian, French, and Italian inspiration. With its loftlike décor, La Gazzetta has something of a New York City vibe, along with a menu that changes all the time. One night, roasted endive with dill, horseradish, lemon, and puréed almonds proved a parade of bitterness, acidity, sweetness, and heat; grilled cod with a side of Brussels-sprout purée, fresh tarragon, and capers had a quiet elegance; and ricotta ice cream with ewe's-milk cheese, hazelnuts, and olives made for an unexpectedly sexy grand finale.

It's that time of year when companies are looking to hire interns to do the menial tasks typically relegated to its entry level employees. When I visit many companies, the interns do little more than flip through magazines ("coverage searches"), cold call media ("pitching") or conduct multiple Google searches for their clients ("research").
But what if a communications team actually used its interns to learn more about this social media thing everyone's talking about? Here are ten ways I might consider putting summer interns to work:
1. Social Media Overviews: Instruct each intern to create a 30 minute presentation on the social media platform of his/her choice that includes an overview, how its used and how your business might participate. There's a good example here.
2. Competitive Analysis: Ask an intern to build a full social media profile analysis of a competitor or client. This might include what platforms they use, how they participate and some metrics do determine how they are successful. There's a good example here.
3. Account creation/customization: If college students learn anything during their four to six years of higher learning, it's how to create a social media profile that will attract attention. Allow them to create and populate some of your executive's social media accounts. Then, set up some time for the intern to teach the executive about the platform. For example, if it's a Twitter account, the intern could select a user name, fill in the bio, create a custom background and begin following relevant people in your company's field. This post from TwitTip has some important considerations for building a business profile on Twitter.(NOTE: The intern should not participate on behalf of the executive, but set up the account and introduce the platform as appropriate).
4. (Social) Media Research: Which social media platforms are your main media contacts using? Are they blogging? Using Twitter? Do they want to be contacted through any of these by your company? This is a long term project, but might be really helpful to some of your colleagues who are apt to "pitch first and ask questions later."
5. Template creation: If your intern knows Photoshop or another design program, it might be fun to have him/her create customized templates for your firm's Twitter pages or a logo/avatar for your company's employees. You can find Twitter background templates here and here are some awesome Twitter backgrounds for inspiration.
6. RSS building: I've said before that an RSS feed is one of the most important tools for any communications professional. If you've never taken the time to set up an RSS reader to monitor social media activity around your brand, your client or your industry, this is an awesome task for an intern. Once it's set up, though, you have to use it! Here's a good place to start.
7. Blog monitoring: There are hundreds of millions of blogs, and probably hundreds that reference your brand or industry. So how do you choose which ones to follow? I've written about this before, but perhaps your intern can conduct some research and report back about the most important blogs in your niche.
8. Blogging: As you may have heard, Pizza Hut is hiring a
Vice President Twitter intern for the Summer. While I wouldn't necessarily entrust an intern to develop my company's social media strategy, I might like them to post about their experiences on my internal or external blog. Not only will it showcase another side to your company, namely that you're empowering your interns, but it also provides your team with important feedback about the internship. It gives future interns insight into what they can expect as well, which could be good or bad depending on how you treat your interns!
9. Web Analysis: When it comes to e-commerce, usability and design, my guess is that most web savvy college age students have seen their fair share of websites. Invite your intern to provide an in-depth analysis of your corporate site. Is it easy to find your press room? Are their high resolution product shots easily available? How many clicks does it take to make a purchase? These are just some of the factors that consumers are interested in. A fresh set of eyes from your target demographic might be useful.
10. Video: The communications professional of the future will have a very different skill set than many of us have today. They will likely be well versed in most type of online media, have some ability to manipulate images in Photoshop or Illustrator and most likely know how to edit video. If these are skills your company values, then let them start by recording a couple of interviews with executives and editing them together. Even if they're not perfect, the point of an internship is to learn, and these are already proven skills that will benefit both the intern and the company.
Finally, I'm going to add getting coffee to the list. Yeah, it kind of sucks. But if they're already doing even one of the above tasks, is it really too much to ask for a good cup of coffee as well? It's just part of paying your dues.
So what types of tasks do your summer interns perform? Would you trust them with your social media research or activity?

El Estudiante : "I am influenced by the nobodies"
Published on August 12 2013
1. You are "El estudiante", The Student, why did you choose this artist name?
Is not only an artistic name, it is a way of living. When I was 15, I went to Santa Clara province. I was a dancer at the time but I always had an interest in music. There was a band playing in this city and I came to them and asked for their artist name. They answered "Estudiante" and the meaning behind it, that it was the future, the hope and that every singer who would choose this name should be true in their music.
2. How would you define your music? What are your main influences ?
My songs send a positive or sometimes negative message about love. I want to be true to myself, and real to the public, a concept than most singers nowadays seem to have lost. By telling my story through my songs, I hope the people who listen will not make the same mistakes as I did. I tend to be more influences by the "nobodies", the singers who are not affected by commercial ideas ; Ayo from Nigeria, Cornie Braylie and Selah Sue from England, and Asa from Nigeria. The main genres which impact my music are Soul music, R&B, Hip Hop and Pop. The music in itself reflects me and tell my stories without words.
3. When did you decide to become a singer ? Any fun anecdote you would like to tell us about your experience as an artist?
My brother is a producer in a music studio. When I was 15 years , he invited me to his studio. Now that I think of it, I have the feeling that he had planned all of this. He asked me to come and sing. I had never sung in my life, but I made it through. It was a wonderful experience and it made me proud. I decided to become a singer afterwards.
4. Some people say it's an art, other ones define it as a way to express ideas and feelings. What does "Music" mean to you?
"Tell me your favorite singer and I can tell you who you are". Music is determinant in everything. It can make you laugh, change your mood, remember good and bad memories. It moves your heart and reflects your dreams. For me, it is just like some kind of Goddess, it is truly alive. When we look in the mirror, we can see music, it defines who we are.
Tell me your favorite singer and I will tell you who you are
5. You recently released your new album "Regresar" on Jamendo. Most of the songs ("Amor y amor", "Odio cuando te vas", "Alguien como yo" for example) talk about love. Does your album tell a special story to the listeners?
Coming back (the name of the album "Regresar") is always difficult. There is the distance, the moments from the past. The three songs you mentionned were written for the same person but at three different moments in time. You always come back to the one you love. I prefer singing it instead of saying I love you.
6. When we listen to songs like "Entre las alas", we can hear latino beats. What kind of instruments were used in your songs?
Most of the instruments used in the album have Oriental influences, I like the mystery from his instruments. We also used afrocuban instruments such as los batas (drums). They're the most important part of my songs (special hip hop beats).
7. You decided to share your music for free with your fans under Creative Commons licenses. Why did you make this decision? Would you recommend it to other artists?
I think an artist should always offer at least his first album for free download. It's a good way for people to know more about him.
8. And finally, is there anything about you that your fans would be suprised to learn ?
My songs express personal histories, they fight for love. I am always open to any collaboration or production with new artists like me.

In case you missed it, an article on Marilinda Garcia's recent tour of Latva Machine in Newport was featured on the front page of the Eagle Times today. The article focused on Marilinda's desire to help small businesses and create jobs throughout New Hampshire by cutting government red-tape and restrictions. According to the Eagle Times article:
"The common refrain I'm hearing from people is, 'It's getting harder for us to do what we do,'" Garcia said.
Garcia says she has spoken with many business owners who are concerned about regulation and taxes.
Garcia says she has spoken with many business owners who are concerned about regulation and taxes.
Garcia wants to see government get out of the way of small businesses, like Latva Machine, to allow them to grow and hire new employees.
Garcia, a state representative from Salem, New Hampshire, is leading the pack of Republicans running to defeat Democrat Annie Kuster. Polls show Garcia beating her primary opponents Gary Lambert, Jim Lawrence, and Mike Little. The primary election is next month."

Safeway Garners Calif. Award for Energy Efficiency
PLEASANTON, Calif. -- Safeway, Inc. here received an award last week in San Francisco from "Flex Your Power," California's statewide energy efficiency campaign, for its efforts involving energy conservation in its stores.
PLEASANTON, Calif. -- Safeway, Inc. here received an award last week in San Francisco from "Flex Your Power," California's statewide energy efficiency campaign, for its efforts involving energy conservation in its stores.
The grocer has achieved significant energy savings through such program as its "Power to Save" initiative, which saves 18.5 million kilowatt-hours yearly. Other savings have resulted from lighting retrofits, energy management controls, and refrigeration upgrades. In total, Safeway is saving over 98 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, considerably lowering its power bills while slashing carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 100 million pounds.
Additionally, the company has shown its commitment to halting climate change by becoming the first -- and so far only -- retailer to join both the Chicago Climate Exchange, the world's inaugural, and North America's only voluntary, legally binding greenhouse gas emissions reduction registry and trading program, and the California Climate Action Registry, the state's official registry for greenhouse gas reduction projects.
"As one of California's largest employers, we intend to be a leader in forging innovative solutions to achieve a cleaner, healthier environment," said Safeway chairman, president, and c.e.o. Steve Burd in a statement. "We have committed ourselves to a companywide clean energy initiative that's having a positive impact on our business and the communities we serve."
Wind energy has been an important feature of the retailer's energy conservation strategy for the past two years. Safeway's latest purchase of 87 million kilowatt-hours is sufficient wind energy to offset the electricity of its 291 U.S. fuel stations, its headquarter complexes in Northern California and all of its stores in San Francisco, California and Boulder, Colo., making the company the country's fourth-largest retailer buyer of renewable energy.
The grocer is also rolling out a plan to cut overall corporate energy consumption by implementing new cost-effective building designs, process improvements, and demand-side management technologies in its stores. Specific initiatives include employing advanced technology in new stores to lower electricity use for refrigeration and installing no-heat freezer case doors that reduce electrical heating; replacing exterior store neon lighting with LED lighting, helping to considerably reduce electricity usage, and using fluorescent lighting and other high-efficiency bulbs that dramatically reduce additional electricity in stores; and introducing a comprehensive national recycling program that annually recycles almost 500,000 tons cardboard, plastics, compostable materials, and other food waste.
Safeway operates 1,761 stores in the United States and Canada.

April 27, 2013
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – The Mustangs spent the last two days at Westmont College competing in the Golden State Athletic Conference Championships where two different Mustang athletes earned four different GSAC individual champion titles.
John Gilbertson (Saugus, CA) walked away with three different GSAC champion titles (1500m, 5000m, and 10000m), while Jason Logan (Spartanburg, SC) earned one (High Jump).
"It's a pretty unique thing to be a three-time conference title athlete," said assistant coach Amie Schroeder about Gilbertson's performance. "To be able to produce three back-to-back-to-back conference championship titles is a phenomenal feat. Gilbertson is competing at a completely different level."
Gilbertson and freshman runner Daniel Eller (Los Angeles, CA) competed in the men's 5000m race. Gilbertson placed first in 14:48, while Eller paced himself and finished in 16:10.49
In the 1500m prelims, Matt Crichton (Mission Viejo, CA) placed first overall by finishing in 4:01.22. Gilbertson (Saugus, CA) followed with 4:01.26 as his final time. Gilbertson and Crichton's times advanced them to finals, where Gilbertson finished first in 3:49.79. Crichton finished in fourth place at 3:54.42.
Crichton had a fantastic showing as the junior runner competed in both the 800m and the 1500m prelims. In the 800m, Crichton finished fourth overall (second in his heat), posting a time of 1 minute and 59. 06 seconds. Crichton's time advanced him to finals where he placed fourth with a time of 1:56.88.
For the 10,000m, the Mustangs made their presence known by placing five athletes in the race. Gilbertson won the event in 31:34.23, while John Hurd (Fairview, PA), placed second at 31:43.41. Ryan Freeman (Highland, CA) posted 32:46.77, while Tyler Tockstein (Santa Clarita, CA) finished in 33:46.75. Camden McAlister (Saugus, CA) finished the event in 34:58.60.
David Eller (Los Angeles, CA) represented The Master's College in the men's 3000m steeplechase, finishing the event in second place with a time of 9:34.66.
Logan was crowned the GSAC's High Jump champion where he won his flight by clearing 2.10 meters (6-10 ¾ Ft.), matching his lifetime-best mark along the way. Logan previously matched that mark at the Pomona-Pitzer Invite on April 13.
Schroeder further commented on the squad's performance by saying "Although we're a very small program, in the events in which we compete, we either place first or second. It's a pretty powerful performance for such a small squad. I'm so proud of them all."
With the GSAC Championships in the books, the Mustangs now set their sites on the NAIA Outdoor Championships. But before they make they trek to Marion, Indiana, the 2013 Oxy Invite calls for another strong performance from the squad. The meet will take place on May 4 at Occidental College.

Quinn is caught on a surveillance camera entering the house of Javadi's ex-wife, while Saul makes a plea to Senator Lockwood.
Saul and Carrie's mission to clear Brody's name in the CIA office bombing is in jeopardy. In the next episode of "Homeland", local police get their hands on a picture of Quinn when he and Carrie entered the house of Javadi's ex-wife to pick him up.
Meanwhile, Javadi is interrogated by Saul, who confronts him for the deaths of people he's responsible for. "You killed 219 Americans. I got plans for you," Saul tells Javadi. Elsewhere, Saul seemingly attempts to convince Senator Lockwood not to shut down his operation, begging, "This is a once in a lifetime operation that can transform everything."
"Gerontion" will air Sunday, November 10 at 9 P.M. ET/PT on Showtime. In the said outing, with his old adversary in custody, Saul makes the gamble of his career. Meanwhile, Carrie and Quinn scramble to contain a local police investigation, and Mira comes to a crossroad in her marriage - will face some hardcore turbulence.
The show has just revealed Carrie's big secret in the recently-aired episode, "Still Positive". [SPOILER ALERT!] She's featured taking a pregnancy test and it was positive. It turned out Carrie had already taken many pregnancy tests before and they all confirmed her pregnancy. Whether it's Brody's baby or not is still unclear.

Well, that's is a nice surprise. If you are familiar with the previous release, "Light of Day, Day of Darkness", it'd be difficult to detect obvious continuity with the new album. Their previous release, if it wasn't for the extremity of 60 minutes in one-track plus the pressured epic overtones, could be described as a masterpiece. However, "A blessing in disguise" is like an expression of gratitude and respect towards the influences of the group. This is mostly a tribute to the German progressive rock scene of the '70s together with a sincere "hail" to all atmospheric metal bands of Norway. An ambitious mixing of styles, supported by sorrowful lyrics, flirting with all the dramatic elements that reminds us of the sounds of Anathema or Amorphis in many ways– for example "Lullaby for Winter" could easily be written by Anathema. Overall the result may not impress us with genuine ideas, yet is very intriguing. The keyboards – Hammond Organ, are bringing back rock memories while the compositions are constantly experimental towards more contemporary styles thanks to the vast musicianship of former-Emperor, Tchort, who seems to know how to preserve his reputation. His guitars are technical, full of energy and passion. In terms of production, I think the appropriate "emotion" is missing, yet it very perceptive. Nordus does a great job with vocals, without exaggerating. In terms of songwriting, "Into Deep" and "As Life Flows By" reflect the concept of well-balanced variety. The apparent gothic approach in "Writings on the Wall" dwells on Paradise Lost sound. "Rain" stands on the edge of melancholy but gets stronger thanks to an innovative finale.
Generally this album offers rich and sophisticated melodies, adjusted to the authentic progressive forms and becomes easily accessible by the average listener. If you expect to find a typical metal album here, don't bother. But when the rock nostalgia prevails, this is a good choice.

MYSTERY surrounds why dozens of trees have been felled on land in Sherfield-on-Loddon.
The forest area along Dixon Road, near Sherfield Park, has been flattened and the trees burnt during the last week.
When The Gazette visited the site today, a worker told us that he had no contact with the owner of the land and did not know why the trees had been chopped down. A member of staff from Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council was also there, with a police officer, neither of whom would comment to The Gazette.
The borough council has, however, confirmed that it has been investigating the work, and is due to provide a statement later today.
Several members of the public have contacted The Gazette with concerns about the work.
A couple, from Sherfield Park, who did not want to be named, said they had heard rumours that the site had been purchased by travellers.
They added: "This news is horrifying. We moved here some years ago because of the peaceful environment and community feel that Sherfield Park offered. We did not move here to have to deal with the countless issues that living next to a traveller site has been well reported to bring.
"Are we to now encounter a Dale Farm scenario?"
Another resident, Nadine Laws, said: "It's quite clear to anyone that the land is being prepared for some use other than forestry."
The Gazette will provide more information on this as we have it.

CHILDREN of all ages from Victoria's School of Dance and Performing Arts in Rednal teamed up recently to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.
The dance students who were aged from three to 10 years old, came together to put their dancing skills to good use for the charity by dancing in their favourite outfits in a variety of party dance games, as well as learning new styles from flamingo, salsa, hip hop and hoe-down.
The event was organised as part of Macmillan's new Dress up and Dance fundraising campaign, which is encouraging people to do everything from twirling in tutus to trying hip hop in a hoodie.
Class leader Jules Kite-Lightfoot, said: "It was a really enjoyable day and lots of enthusiasm was shown by all."
All together the youngsters managed to raise £50 for the charity.

He's remembered fondly in Detroit, the big stretch forward/center that came off the bench from 2002-2004 to provide an x-factor advantage from three-point land that was second only to the 2004 acquisition of Rasheed Wallace. The "Turkish Tornado" as long-time Pistons call man George Blaha once referred to him, Mehmet Okur helped the Pistons win an NBA Championship in 2004 before deciding to leave for the expansive mountains and expensive contracts of Utah. Now after 10 years in the league, following a ruptured achilles and two-straight injury riddled seasons, Mehmet Okur's body has decided that it's time for the long gunning giant from Turkey to hang 'em up.
Kevin Pelton of BasketballProspectus.com was able to collect Okur's thoughts on the situation:
"A player of certain level should say goodbye to the sport he loves when his body doesn't let him to be as he used to be," Okur said.
The 'certain level' Okur is referring to is long behind him. WIth the injuries keeping his value drastically lower than the $50-million he earned from the Jazz following the Pistons 2004 Championship, and with no European team willing to match his price tag, Okur must feel a bit slighted in the wake of his decision.
Still, Okur's presence in the game should not be forgotten just yet. Uniquely Mehmet Okur wasn't just a stretch forward, he was a stretch center. Playing next to Andrei Kirilenko in Utah, Mehmet was put at the center spot; a position assignment that puts Okur to the NBA history books.
According to Basketball-Reference.com, Mehmet Okur is the third ranking player, 6'11" or taller, for all-time three-pointers made. Okur knocked down 596 baskets from behind the arc, third only to Troy Murphy (603) and Dirk Nowitzki (1275). Murphy and Nowitzki are both stretch forwards and have never been asked to play at center for more than a few possessions. Mehmet Okur's ability to stretch the floor from the center position was unheard of, and should be remembered. Like any good center, Okur could bang on the block and post up around the basket. But more importantly, Okur caused mismatch nightmares for his slower center counterparts by making them drift from the lane and out to the three-point line. Okur brought something to the center position that was rarely seen before he came to the NBA, and it's something that will remain rare in years to come.
He may soon disappear from the memory of the causal NBA fan, if he hasn't already, but for those who had the opportunity to see Mehmet Okur play in Detroit or Utah his skill will not be forgotten.Tags: Basketball, Detroit, Detroit Pistons, Mehmet Okur, NBA

Putin calls on European Jews to take refuge in Russia
Putin was put into power by the Federation Of Jewish Organizations In Russia. The Jewish Chairman of this organization Abramovich stated in a 2005 interview that Putin could obtain Israeli citizenship if he wanted as an ethnic Jew. And that his mother was a Jew Shelomova. This makes Putin full Jewish by Jewish law.
Something damning in the first addition of Putin's book: First Person: An Astonishingly Frank Self-Portrait by Russia's President. It states his mothers maiden name was Shalomovitch which is a Jewish surname. But this is changed to Shelomova in the second addition which is an attempt to cover this up:
http://www.textbooks.com/First-Person-A ... DACMCQKSDB
Putin also criminalized Holocaust "denial" in Russia. Because the Holocaust Potter and the Gas Chamber of Secrets story is made up, the Jews outlaw any investigation into it. Freedom of speech would be the end of their big lie:
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-russi ... IV20140505
—Vladimir Putin in the foreground, Roman Abramovich in the background.
Abramovich is chairman of the Federation of Jewish Organizations in Russia (who are allied with the Putin administration) and he also donates money to the Jewish Chabad-Lubavitch movement. Chabad-Lubavitch is an orthodox Jewish movement.
—Chabad-Lubavitch is an orthodox Jewish movement.
Appointed Putin and Medvedev [My note Medvdev is according to Jewish archives his surname is Mendel]
Abramovich was the first person who recommended Boris Yeltsin to choose Putin as his successor. When Putin formed his first cabinet of prime minister in 1999, the Jew Abramovich was the one who first held "personal interviews" with each of the candidates before they were approved. After that, Abramovich remained one of Putin's closest allies.
In 2007 Putin asked this Jew, who would be elected as the new President – Dmitry Medvedev was then personally recommended by Abramovich. At the G-20 meeting in London in 2009 and the G-8 meeting in 2010, it was Medvedev who became renowned as he had with him a sample of the new supranational world currency "United Future World Currency", which he campaigned strongly for according to Bloomberg.com.
Chris Hutchins , who has written the biographies Abramovich: The Billionaire from Nowhere and Putin A Biography, describes Putin's relationship with Abramovich like one "between a father and his favorite son".
Appears on Russia Today's website
Under the heading "prominent Russians", Roman Abramovich is highlighted in Russia Today's encyclopedia "Russiapedia". It says, among other things, that Abramovich had access to Jeltzins "innermost circle" through the Jewish oligarch Boris Berezovsky.
Putin calls on European Jews to take refuge in Russia
http://www.jpost.com/Diaspora/Putin-cal ... sia-442175
Western European Jews fleeing anti-Semitism are welcome to take refuge in the Russian Federation, which is "ready to accept them," President Vladimir Putin told a visiting delegation of Jewish community leaders on Tuesday.
In an exchange with Dr. Moshe Vyacheslav Kantor, president of the European Jewish Congress, in the Kremlin, Putin reacted to reports of stark increases in anti-Semitic violence by stating that Jews "should come here, to Russia. They left the Soviet Union; now they should come back."
In response, Kantor called Putin's proposal "a fundamentally new idea" that he plans on raising for discussion among European Jewish leaders at the EJC's upcoming general assembly, adding that he hopes they would support it.
Kantor also came out in favor of Russia's involvement in Syria, where it supports dictator Bashar Assad, stating that the congress "decisively supports the actions of the Russian Federation against Islamic State.
"Why are Jews running from a Europe that was recently safe? They are fleeing, as you rightly said, not only because of terrorist attacks against our communities in Toulouse, Brussels, Paris, Copenhagen, and now Marseille, but because of their fear to simply appear in the streets of European cities," Kantor said, citing research that indicated that anti-Semitic violence surged 40 percent worldwide in 2014.
A recent study in France indicated that 43 percent of that nation's Jews are interested in emigrating.
Kantor complained both of "an explosive growth in nationalism, xenophobia and racism, with radical right movements sprouting up like mushrooms" as well as "Islamic fundamentalism and extremism" in Europe.
"The continent has not outlived the age-old disease: During times of socioeconomic crisis, it is struck again by the virus of anti-Semitism. That is why the Jews who carry the 'genetic' memory of the horrors of the 1930s are leaving Europe," he said.
Several days before the meeting, Jonathan Arkush, president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, told the Jewish News website he understands that Putin had called for the meeting.
"Our meeting was strikingly friendly," Arkush subsequently said. "As someone with a background of activism in the campaign for Soviet Jewry, I see the encounter as a clear sign of warming relations and trust between Russia and the Jewish people and Israel. I do not believe it will be the last such meeting."
Putin's comments were generally well received, with the World Israel Beytenu Movement calling Putin's words an example of "his positive approach toward the Jewish community in Russia and the Jewish state" and the Federation of Jewish Communities of Russia calling Putin's invitation part of a "Jew-friendly position."
Ukrainian Jews were less well disposed toward Putin's call, however, with Eduard Dolinsky, who directs the Ukrainian Jewish Committee, telling The Jerusalem Post that "It's like a call from an Egyptian pharaoh for Jews to come back."
Putin's administration has consistently accused the Ukrainian state of anti-Semitism since pro-Russian President Victor Yanukovich was toppled in a popular revolution two years ago, leading to intense anger toward the Kremlin by many Ukrainian Jews, who believe they have been made into propaganda pawns in the conflict.
Noting that the Putin meeting took place only weeks before Kantor is slated to run for reelection as head of the EJC, Dolinsky said he believes the goal of the meeting was two-fold, "to show EJC members that he has support of Putin and show Putin that he controls European Jewish organization."
"I think this trip and Kantor remarks about the Congress supporting Russia operation in Syria will cause a deep disagreement inside of EJC and European Jewish organizations."
While Kantor and Putin railed against the strengthening of far-right parties in western Europe, critics have accused the Kremlin of collaborating with some of these groups. France's National Front was given a multimillion- euro loan by a Moscow bank in 2014, while Hungary's neo-Nazi Jobbik Party was included in the list of observers who oversaw elections in the Russian-backed separatist enclave of Donetsk in eastern Ukraine.
Putin, The Economist reported two years ago, "has some curious bedfellows on the fringes of European politics."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 26/7/2013 (1484 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Explorers who settled this barren, unforgiving, frozen land had priorities. You know, for survival and all.
First, find the place. Second, build shelter.
And, third, start brewing some beers.
OK, so maybe they had to kill some wild animals for food. But it's curious to note how high homemade ale was on the agenda.
It's all spelled (or spilled) out in 300 Years of Beer, a detailed and richly illustrated history of brewing in Manitoba (Great Plains Publications), authored by two Winnipeggers who painstakingly sifted through centuries of archives to serve up an everything-you've-ever-wanted-to-know-about-beer collection abetted by, well, folks who know a great deal about beer.
Beginning with Chapter One: The Original Microbreweries, which cites that brewing began in Manitoba not only before there was a Manitoba, but before there was even a Hudson's Bay Company.
Fun fact: In 1668, when Captain Zachariah Gilliam pulled into Hudson Bay on the Nonsuch, on board was an official brewmaster. The expedition founded Port Rupert. They cleared some land, built a house and stockade. Then started brewing. (Note: The stockade was built before the beer was made. In 1668, that's called "planning ahead.")
"Beer was a staple of life, right?" said Bill Wright, who co-authored the 200-page coffee-table book along with drinking buddy Dave Craig. "It was important to them."
Indeed, 300 Years of Beer serves as a window into the history of a province and its capital, which in the late 1880s was emerging as the country's third largest city. And the priorities of the Nonsuch were readily apparent in the ancestors who followed.
In the 1880s, according to the book, Main Street's "reputation for decadence was infamous." There were 86 hotels, many with saloons. There were 15 wine and liquor stores open 24 hours a day on Main Street alone. Another 64 grocery stores sold liquor by the bottle.
And between 1904 and 1910, no less than eight breweries opened in Winnipeg, which certainly wasn't unique to the times.
"Across Canada there were hundreds of breweries," Wright noted, "and they all had their own individual character to them."
The book includes snippets from almost every brewery of note founded in Manitoba dating back to the 1850s in distilled form, just a hint at the countless hours of research that Craig, 75, began on his own in 1980.
Long before that, however, Craig said he "discovered" beer as a 17-year-old while sipping on stubbies at the cottage. He and his buddies would take labels that had sweated off the bottles and stick them on the cabin wall. By the end of the summer, they had 50 different labels.
The hunt was afoot. Over the winter, Craig set out to track down and acquire as many beer labels as he could -- and the world was his oyster. One of Craig's first order of business was to mail the German embassy in Ottawa for information on all that country's breweries. "Postage was five cents back then," he said.
By the next summer, Craig had accumulated more than 2,000 labels.
That was only the beginning. Through his archival and garage sale journeys, Craig met more collect-oholics, who together founded the Great White North Brewerianists. "It just grew," he said.
The local chapter swelled to more than three-dozen, and they began to publish their own newsletter. Craig began submitting articles of various local brewers based on his tireless research. Wright, meanwhile, has spent the last 35 years working as a beer distributor.
Then Bill met Dave. Five years of research and writing later, 300 Years of Beer was complete.
The co-authors' effort was bolstered by the treasure trove of collections -- both from previous beer historians and brewerianists -- that not only help weave the narrative but illustrate the book.
"It really hadn't been fully told before," Wright said, of the story of Manitoba's beer industry. "There were pieces here and there. I thought with the collection of what the guys had from the club and what Dave had done we could finally tell the full story, with a lot of really cool pictures.
"It would appeal not only to the people interested in beer, but history buffs in general."
After all, the boom in the Manitoba beer industry mirrored the turn-of-the-century promise of what was then Canada's third largest city. There's the rise of both prohibition and, later, the arrival of women into Manitoba's bar rooms -- which were historically dreary watering holes void of any form of entertainment.
Readers might be surprised to learn that Winnipeg had its own versions of U.S. beer barons such as Adolphus Busch and Fredrick Miller in E.L. Drewry and Patrick O'Shea, immigrants from Wales and Ireland, respectively, whose families dominated the Winnipeg brewery and bottling business for decades.
"How many people have heard of some of these brewery owners?" Wright asked. "I mean, Edward Drewry was a really important businessman. He was a politician and pioneer of the city. But really nobody knows the guy. You've heard of people like Bannatyne and Ashdown because they have streets named after them. But E.J. Drewry kind of fell to the wayside."
Meanwhile, O'Shea's legacy on the North American beer landscape remains to this day, as the book details how Patrick O'Shea's championship Clydesdales were purchased -- trainer and all -- by Anheuser-Busch in 1932, the year prohibition ended in the United States. In 1933, the Budweiser Clydesdales galloped into American advertising lore.
The book travels through time to the present day -- the rise and fall of the major breweries, Carling, Molson and Labatt to the last two standing: Fort Garry/Two Rivers and Half Pints.
Not exactly a happy ending, Wright agrees. But...
"Things change," he allowed. "Nothing every stays the same. "Unfortunately, they were a big part of our economy early on and they had been for many, many years. I would say we lost a little bit of our individuality, our local flavour. There was a certain amount of pride to go into a bar and order a beer that -- like in the St. Boniface Hotel you could go in and get a beer made across the street."
All the more reason, according to Wright and Craig, to document a history that never seems to go flat.
"If I had decided to do a book about bakeries it just wouldn't be the same," Wright concluded. "There's just something about beer."

Principal Design Features
This alloy is an austenitic, nitrogen strengthened steel combining corrosion resistance comparable with 316 stainless and greater strength. It is readily fabricated and remains non-magnetic even after severe forming operations. In many areas, it outperforms types 316 and 317 with almost double the yield strength.
Generally found in applications requiring high strength and corrosion resistance such as fasteners, boat shafting, marine hardware, pumps and valves.
Slow speeds, positive feeds and abundant resulphurized lubricant are essential to success in machining this alloy. Speeds and feeds similar to those employed with 316 or 317 stainless are appropriate here. All common machining practices can be used on this material. Chips will be tough and stringy and it is recommended that curlers or breakers are used.
All common forming techniques can be used with this alloy. Springback will be greater than with standard austenitics and should be taken into consideration when choosing the appropriate forming forces. Process annealing is recommended to remove stresses resulting from this alloys' high work hardening rate. Heat to 1950 F(1065 C) for intermediate anneal.
Pre-heating is not required with this material and all common welding methods including gas tungsten arc, gas metal arc and submerged arc are acceptable. Filler metal selection should be of similar chemistry for maximum strength and resistance to intergranular attack.
Heat to 2000 F, soak to equalize, then heat to 2150 and equalize prior to forging.
Soak at 1900-2050 F, quench quickly in air or water.
Hardening this alloy requires cold working. It will not harden with exposure to thermal treatment.
