Whitnall girls basketball
The Falcons continued to roll last week, downing St. Francis, 70-40, on Friday night and Waterford, 47-40, on Dec. 11.
Whitnall improved to 5-0 in the Woodland Conference and 7-1 overall. The Falcons face a major test this week, as they visit Pius XI at 7:30 p.m. Friday.
Ashley Markowiak enjoyed a big game against St. Francis with 27 points to lead all scorers. Rachael Shulta added 21 points and Gabby Weis put in seven points.
Markowiak tallied a game-high 22 points against Waterford in the earlier contest, while Shulta scored 13 points.
Whitnall boys basketball
Nathan Schaefer led a balanced attack with 14 points as the Falcons routed St. Francis, 70-41, on Friday night.
Danny Weymier chipped in with 13 points, Austin Hurst 10 and Michael Radavich eight points as Whitnall moved to 4-2 in the Woodland Conference and 5-3 overall.
The Falcons outscored the Mariners 23-8 in the second quarter to open a 37-15 halftime lead.
Whitnall welcomes Pius XI at 7:30 p.m. Friday. The Falcons were ousted from last season's WIAA playoffs by the Popes.
Whitnall boys swimming
The Falcons tipped the Greendale/Greenfield combined team, 90-89, in a Woodland Conference dual meet on Dec. 12.
"We had a great meet and swam some great times," head coach George Guddie said. "For this early in the season, I was surprised by the time drops in a lot of the races."
Individual winners for Whitnall were Jake Hodel in the 200 freestyle at 2 minutes, 2.81 seconds and the 100 breaststroke at 1:06.87, David Monteilh in the 100 freestyle with 54.99 seconds and Nick Bell in diving at 195.45 points.
Also winning were Ben Hinson, Jake Hodel, Jack Larson and Monteilh in the 200 medley relay at 1:48.7 and the 200 freestyle relay with 1:37.09.
GD/GF boys swimming
Head coach Dale Schrank said last week featured the most exciting back-to-back losses in the history of the program.
The Panther-Hawks fell to Whitnall, 90-89, in a Woodland Conference dual meet on Dec. 12, then took second in Saturday's Elkhorn Invitational by just three points. They tallied 299 points to finish behind Beloit Memorial's 302 points.
"The loss to Whitnall, and the Elkhorn Invite, generated 74 percent lifetime-best times," Schrank said.
At Elkhorn, Greendale/Greenfield won six of 11 swimming events and set three pool records.
Winning and posting records were Rick Perez in the 200 freestyle with 1 minute, 59.74 seconds and Perez, Ross Rybakowicz, Shawn Lucchesi and Adam Fleischhacker in both the 200 medley relay at 1:52.63 and the 400 freestyle relay with 3:45.76.
Other winners were Rybakowicz in the 200 individual medley (2:12.93), Lucchesi in the 100 butterfly (1:03.71) and Perez in the 100 backstroke (59.91 seconds).
Oak Creek boys basketball
Bouncing back from a disappointing defeat the night before at the hands of Southeast foe Racine Case, the Knights turned in a big fourth-quarter effort in holding off area non-conference rival South Milwaukee, by a 41-31 count Saturday.
Oak Creek (1-2 in Southeast play and 3-4 overall), held an 18-12 halftime lead but saw the Rockets pull even at the end of the third at 26. The Knights outscored the Rockets 15-5 in the final stanza.
Harrison Cleary had 11 points including six of eight from the foul line while Chase Leonardi had eight points and Cordarius Johnson seven for Oak Creek, which had three-pointers from Cleary, Cory Jackson, Leonardi and Johnson.
The win made up for the flat effort the Knights turned in Friday evening, as they were blanked 19-0 in the first quarter and could never recover in falling to Case, 61-39.
They will close out the pre-holiday portion of their schedule with a non-conference game at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at Watertown.
Greendale ice hockey
Joe Jensen tallied three goals as the Ice Force downed Grafton, 8-1, on Saturday night.
Mitch Hart put in two goals, while Austin Wright, Brady Kais and Jake Blankenburg each added one. Goaltender Konner Ondriezek made 23 saves.
Greendale takes on Waukesha North at 6 p.m. Saturday at Wilson Park.
Oak Creek wrestling
The Knights turned in a 41-28 Southeast Conference victory over Racine Case on Dec. 13.
Picking up victories for Oak Creek were Jake Brycki at 220 pounds (forfeit), Max Reynolds at 285 (pin 0:21), Andrew McIntosh at 113 (pin 0:29), Isaiah Robinson at 120 (pin 2:18), Travis Tyler at 145 (pin 3:04), Nate Mlodzik at 152 (11-0 major decision), Ben Hakes at 160 (16-13 decision) and Jake Regazzi at 182 (21-8 major decision).
They had a harder time at the Marty Loy Invitational in Fond du Lac last Saturday, taking 24th. Best efforts included Sean LaBodda earning the consolation championship at 132, going 3-1 on the day, and Jack Feffer at 138 and Regazzi at 182, each going 2-2.
The Knights took only nine wrestlers to the tournament.
Greendale boys basketball
The Panthers just missed placing four players in double figures as they downed Shorewood, 63-43, in a Woodland Conference game on Dec. 11.
Jordan Perez tallied a game-high 17 points, while Nick Dalton put in 12, Mitchell Brees 11 and Josh Michaels nine points. Greendale outscored the Greyhounds 29-10 in the second half.
The offense was even more effective in Friday's game against Wauwatosa West, but the defense struggled as the Panthers lost, 90-75.
Perez scored 22 points, Dalton 19 and Brees 10, but the Trojans put four players in double digits, led by Andre Carroll at 24 points.
Greendale moved to 4-3 in the Woodland and 4-4 overall. The Panthers welcome New Berlin West at 7:30 p.m. Friday, then take on Kettle Moraine in the first round of the West Allis Hale Tournament at 5 p.m. Dec. 28.
Greendale girls basketball
The offense was limited as the Panthers lost two Woodland Conference contests, 41-35 to Wauwatosa West on Friday and 48-36 to Shorewood on Dec. 11.
Taite Kurzka led the Panthers against the Trojans with eight points, while Emily Perszyk and Anna Klar put in seven apiece. Perszyk tallied 12 points against the Greyhounds, with Natalie Burton adding eight points.
Greendale fell to 3-3 in the Woodland and 3-4 overall. The Panthers visit New Berlin West at 7:30 p.m. Friday, then play in the Cedarburg Tournament Dec. 27 to 28.
Greendale wrestling
The Panthers finished sixth of 14 teams at Saturday's Wilmot Invitational.
Tommy Welch finished second, while Jared Rosen, Sam Walton and Dustin Donald came in third. Cameron Anders and Jake Rosen placed fourth and Eric Martinson fifth.
"It was a solid performance, especially considering we went in again with a short-handed lineup," head coach Robert LaPlante said. "They all wrestled well and seem to be getting stronger every week."
Greendale lost a Woodland Conference dual to Wauwatosa, 54-8, on Dec. 12. Anders posted a pin at 138 pounds.
The Panthers are now off until Jan. 3, when they visit South Milwaukee.
Franklin boys basketball
The Sabers rallied from a seven-point deficit in the fourth quarter to forcer overtime, but fell in the extra session to Southeast leader Racine Horlick, 46-41, last Friday.
With the loss, the Sabers fell to 1-2 in league play and 2-4 overall while Horlick improved to 3-0 (3-3).
The Sabers were down 11-7 at the quarter and 17-13 at the half. The Rebels expanded the advantage to 30-23 at the end of three before putting on their rally.
Evan Kruczynski led Franklin with 13, while Chad Kanugh had 11, Nick Bobos eight and Colin Ksobiech seven.
Gabe McKinstry had 22 for Horlick to lead all scorers.

for those interested in following us:
It's pretty weird and sad to write this. But yeah, this seems to be the end of zunta. It's been a difficult year. That's about all there is to say, I guess.
Both of us like blogging, and I'm sure both of us will resume doing it elsewhere. More on that when we both figure it out. Or maybe not — to be honest, having one's audience expand beyond your friends and anonymous internet weirdos gets to be a little bit paralyzing, inevitable though it may be.
This site will stay up, if only because I need to be able to google the last few years' worth of posts. Maybe we'll syndicate our feeds here or something — I donno. I'd hate for this to be the last thing on the front page.
hi folks,
i'm sorry to say it, but i'm not going to be blogging here at unrequited narcissism any longer. i do plan to start writing again - i'm not sure where or when. but if you'd like to keep up with me, you can shoot me an email at pablohoney at gmail dot com and i'll let you know where my next site will be, eventually.
it's been a good four years here, and i loved every minute of it. thanks for being such great readers.
UPDATE: i've gotten around to setting up a new blog - just email me if you'd like to read.
UPDATE II: i totally lost some of the emails of all of you all who wanted to read and then i never responded. email me again if that's the case. pablohoney at gmail dot com.
brief interruption of my hiatus to note a few things:
i'm going to be taking a brief blog hiatus as i settle things up in atlanta and prepare for my move back to d.c. and my final quarter at medill. see you in a week or two!
congratulations to my wonderful friend laura, whose article on walt disney's fingerprinting collection was published recently as part of the news 21 initiative on the future of journalism (read more about the program here). boing boing even picked it up, and you know that's when you've made it! anyway, i encourage you all to read it.
Matt emailed me asking how to do the little photoset thingy I've got in the sidebar. I initially sent him back the code we're using, but it's got a lot of unnecessary stuff in it that serves to merge Catherine and my photosets, sort them, and distinguish them. I took another pass at it this morning and stripped all the unnecessary junk out. I figured that others might find it useful, too, so here you go.
It's not rocket science — this is very simple PHP. It's just that it makes use of a couple of useful third party libraries. You'll have to install those, which can admittedly be a pain in the ass, particularly in the case of PEAR. But it's definitely doable.
Of course, after doing all of this I remembered that Matt's on blogspot, and consequently is probably unable to install the necessary PEAR libraries (or even use this script). But some borderless IFRAME action should be able to get around that (hacky though it may be). For folks with webhosts of their own, there shouldn't be any problem.
I'm only about 20 yards (sorry, meters) from the departure gate, so it seems like I'll actually be able to leave as planned. But, for the record, Gatwick Airport is terrible. It's understaffed, indifferently designed, and it costs $25 to ride the train out to it (each way). I miss Stansted.
But it's not all bad. The airport staff have been uniformly pleasant. And security, although thorough, did me the favor of failing to locate the eyedrops I was smuggling. If anyone has any suggestions for how to terrorize a flight with about half an ounce of saline solution, please leave them in comments.
I'm glad to be going home, simply because at this point I've been exhausted for as long as I can remember — certainly dating to well before this trip. But I'm sad to leave England, too. I like this place. The people are nice, the beer is great, and if you can avoid getting hit by a car barrelling down an unexpected side of the street, you can have a pretty good time.
Mostly, though, I just like the Englishness. The urinals flush when you use the sink! I think it's that sort of sweet-natured belief in mankind's capacity for civilization that makes this country so admirable (while simultaneously dooming their empire from day one).
So I'll be back soon. Ryan and Lisa have a pull-out couch, I still have a pocket full of inscrutable coins, and there may be a training session for GPUK — I pretty much have to come back.
For now, though, I'm looking forward to seeing you all back in the colonies.
So, I've been in London. Need proof? Here's a shot of me with one of their ridiculous electrical outlets.
Word to the wise: you can shove an Italian power adapter in there just fine if you use a pen cap to trip the safety latch on the ground plug. It works like a charm, and provides a bracing ozone scent to liven up the air in the room.
You would think I'd have more blog fodder, what with being in a foreign country and all. The truth is that I've been much too busy and jetlagged to observe anything, much less write it up. See also: the enormous bags under my eyes in the photo above. And that was taken after a solid, 11-hour night of sleep. It's been a taxing week, for a variety of reasons.
But everything is working out, I think. I'm over here with my coworkers/friends/fellow cult-members (depending on the time of day and who you ask) Michael and Cristen, doing a strategy session and website kickoff meeting for Greenpeace UK.
It's stressful, trying to appear clever enough to justify being flown across an ocean — particularly when you have to do it for several days in a row. But the GPUK people have made it a breeze. I can't recommend working with smart, passionate clients highly enough — it's definitely one of the great things about this job. And if those clients will take you out drinking after a day of meetings, so much the better.
Anyway, there are some photos up on Flickr, including some shots of GPUK's awesome headquarters. Today's Michael's birthday, so additional drinks will be had (with Ryan & Lisa, no less!), and photos taken. Will there be moblogging from the airport? If British security takes away as many of my electronic entertainments as I expect (but not as many as they could), it's a definite possibility.
mark your calendars: the next f.w. thomas performance will be at the warehouse monday, september 18. i especially like the promise of how "F.W. Thomas Impresario and Master of Ceremonies Adam Mazmanian will explain what it is like to watch one's father slowly but inexorably transform into a doppelganger of Kim Jong-Il."
i know the feeling, buddy.

Cool shoe
"Beautiful shoe, but did run on the narrow side."

Sexy but...
"I bought these shoes in blue and they were just as sexy as they looked online but they run short. I got the shoe in an 8 1/2 because the reviews I read said it did run a little on the long side but when I got them I realized that they actually run kind of short and even with it running short there was still some room in the back of the shoes where as I walked my feet almost slipped out. I couldn't even be mad too though because they are super comfy."

Absolute FAVORITE dress shoes
"I LOVE these shoes. Very stylish, the platform and sturdy heel make them comfortable. The material looks a little darker than what I expected but that makes them even more useful for me. I'm wearing them with a cocktail dress over the holidays but these would be great with jeans too."

Logo Padlock Charm Bracelet 7 7
really stands out This bracelet is so cute and girly it grabs lots of attention July 25, 2013
Gold fades If your going to buy this I recommend getting it in silver because after only wearing the gold bracelet 3 times it has faded to silver! Very cheap!! July 9, 2013
Disappointed I wore this bracelet twice and the little diamonds fell out and the color changed. I did not expect much but I did expect to be able to wear it more than twice and not look awful. June 6, 2013
Stylish and affordable I think this was a great purchase for the price. I get lots of compliments when I wear this item out. March 8, 2013
Beautifully made! I love all the intricate details like the sparkly lock. Goes great with my necklace heart lock that I bought from Bebe almost 5 years ago! XoXo sumrbird February 28, 2013
Perfect for my sis in law I bought this as a Christmas present for my sister in law. She's in her twenties and has expensive taste. I of course, don't have the money to buy her extravagant gifts. When I saw this, I knew it was her. Very pretty, elegant, and affordable. December 29, 2012
LOOKS CHEAP Purchased this for my 14 year old daughter for Christmas and she wasnt thrilled about it and I dont blame her...it's thin, lightweight and looks cheaply made and dull looking. The pics online does it justice! Will be returning it to the store. December 28, 2012

I don't have anything against Donald Fehr or Gary Bettman, but I'm happy we won't have to hear from them until next week. Up until this point neither has said anything of real substance. I wouldn't expect them to. Most fans don't want to hear either side bitch and moan about how they are being wronged, especially when they are taking about money. They all make more than 95% of the fans ever will, so don't expect sympathy from "the best fans in the world."
Asking them a question is pointless because they will only give an answer that they feel might sway the fans to their side. At this point the most pressing question I have is when did Gary start wearing an earring (or what looks like an earring in the above photo from Sportsnet.ca)? That is very risque for the commissioner of a pro league to do, so maybe Gary is lightening up during his potential third lockout/strike.
Seriously though, I welcome the silence, at least publicly from both sides. It should give them some time to come up with a proposal that the other side might actually consider. I know, I know I probably sound drunk for mentioning such a novel approach, but I can dream.
At this point I'm not on either side.
I believe that if both sides were truly transparent to each other, we'd likely get a deal done. After speaking to people on both sides, I get a sense that either the leaders aren't being completely transparent to their own members, or that some of their members really don't know or care about the issues. It's probably a bit of both.
Here is what I don't want to see or hear anymore.
- Players please stop tweeting that Gary will be making his salary during a lockout, while your beloved leader Donald is a saint because he won't be. It has ZERO barring on the negotiations, so don't be petty. When you sign a contract and then under perform for the next two years, do you give your money back. Didn't think so. It has nothing to do with the real issues.
- Unless you are going to clearly define what is HRR (hockey related revenues) please don't constantly bring it up. The formula, which seemingly seems to change weekly, is more difficult to comprehend than a one-year old trying to tell you what they want. It can't always be a bottle and/or a new diaper, which is why once kids and parents start speaking the same language the outbursts seem to diminish, at least until they are teenagers. Although, if Don and Gary gave each other a bottle of scotch we might see some progress. Some of the best negotiations in fantasy pools have occurred over a beer, or ten.
- Can we all please stop mentioning that contract length is a real contentious issue. Of course the NHLPA says they don't want to limit the length of contracts, and I'm sure they don't but will they die on a hill/issue that only impacts 3% of the union? They could easily settle for seven years. And then maybe have a clause that allows teams to sign players who are potential UFAs, and who they drafted originally, for a max of eight years. This isn't a major concession for the players. They might claim it is, but in reality it isn't.
Do you know how many players in the NHL currently have deals longer than seven years? 23 out of 740.
Kovalchuk 15 $6.66 mill 27 $7m combined in last 2 years.
Dipietro 15 $4.5 mill 25 $4.5m in last year.
Weber 14 $7.85 mill 27 $1m in each of last 3 years.
Ovechkin 13 $9.53 mill 23 $10m last year.
Parise 13 $7.58 mill 28 Avg of $1.33m over last 3 years.
Suter 13 $7.58 mill 28 Avg of $1.33m over last 3 years.
Keith 13 $5.53 mill 27 Avg of $2.1m over last 3 years.
Crosby 12 $8.7 mill 26 $8.7m in last year.
Zetterberg 12 $6.08 mill 28 $1m in each of last 2 years.
M.Richards 12 $5.75 mill 23 $3m in each of last 2 years.
Luongo 12 $5.33 mill 31 Avg of $1.2m over last 3 years.
Hossa 12 $5.27 mill 31 $1m in each of last four years.
Lecavalier 11 $7.72 mill 29 Avg of $1.25m over last 2 years.
J.Carter 11 $5.25 mill 26 $2m in each of last 2 years.
Franzen 11 $3.95 mill 30 Avg of $1.33m over last 3 years.
Backstrom 10 $6.7 mill 22 $8m in last year.
J. Staal 10 $6.0 mill 25 $6m in last year.
Quick 10 $5.8 mill 27 $2.5m in last year.
Ehrhoff 10 $4.0 mill 29 $1m in each of last 3 years.
B. Richards 9 $6.66 mill 31 $1m in each of last 3 years.
Nash 8 $7.8 mill 26 $8.2m in last year.
Campbell 8 $7.14 mill 29 $7.14m in last year.
Doughty 8 $7 mill 21 $7.65m in last year.
If the max length was seven years those players would still get their money.
Even if the NHLPA agrees to six-year max contracts, with extra year to keep drafted potential UFAs, it would still only impact a few small amount of players. Currently only 14 players have seven-year deals.
E. Stall, $8.25 mill cap hit
Gomez, $7.35 mill
Rinne, $7 mill
Spezza, $7 mill
Chara, $6.9 mill
Kopitar, $6.8 mill
M.Koivu, $6.75 mill
Datsyuk, $6.7 mill
Karlsson, $6.5 mill
Elias, $6 mill
Hall, $6 mill
Myers, $5.5 mill
Pronger, $4.9 mill
J.Johnson, $4.35 mill
If they agree to six-year max terms then a whopping 5% of the league wouldn't be allowed to sign 7+ year deals. Not a big issue considering the star players will get their money regardless. They'd likely just get back-to-back six-year deals. So let's stop wasting time suggesting that length of salary is a massive concession for the NHLPA.
The real battle will be splitting the revenue. And it isn't as simple as saying make it 50/50, because there are other issues in play. Players can't complain they should get a share of every revenue stream of the owners, unless they are willing to pay their share for arena upkeep, renovations and new facilities. While the owners can't complain that they are paying the players too much, when they are ones who allowed their GMs to sign the deals in the first place.
Unfortunately, it won't be easy, but this will be the main battle. I'd like them to do more talking privately and less publicly, because the only public chatter we here is never about the real issue.
Focus on the real issue, splitting revenue, and the rest will easily fall into place.
- What was the rush to name Gabriel Landeskog the captain in Colorado? He has one-year of NHL experience. Being captain has as much off-ice responsibilities as on-ice, and I'd argue the off-ice ones take more effort. If the season were to start on time, Landeskog couldn't even organize a team night out at the bar, because he isn't old enough to get in. Steve Yzerman played three years before being captain, while Sidney Crosby and Jonathon Toews wore an "A" before being named captain. The Avs just put a lot of unnecessary pressure on Landeskog.
- I wonder what the Panthers will give up to get Luongo? They shouldn't have to give up much, because the Canucks don't want the distraction, and few teams will take Luongo's contract. They shouldn't give up more than one good young player, and a mid-range salary player.
- The Oilers need to start transitioning their leaders, and I'll be shocked if Ralph Krueger doesn't give an "A" to Taylor Hall or Jordan Eberle. Krueger has stated the kids are the future, so I'd expect him to follow through on that and give one them a letter. Hall is more emotional while Eberle is more cerebral. They'd be good leaders, but in different ways. Krueger should give name one of them an alternate captain before the season starts, hopefully before November.
- I'd have no problem if they gave Ladislav Smid a letter either. He's becoming more like Jason Smith all the time. Competes hard, blocks shots, but he skates better and moves the puck more efficiently. His work ethic and desire needs to be matched by more of his elder teammates.
- I'm happy for Jason Strudwick on landing his own radio show, weeknights from 9 p.m. to 12 a.m on the TEAM 1260. He's passionate about hockey, but if you really want to get him going talk about the Tour de France. I think he loves the long races because it reminds him off all the bag skates he had to endure when he was a healthy scratch.
Good luck Struds, I know you'll do well.

Maybe they can settle it with a FIST fight
(I couldn't resist. Summer is over and I'm restless)
September 05 2012, 02:37PM
If that is an earring it is certainly on the "wrong" ear.
I absolutely agree in not giving the "C" quite yet to the kids. It would add an additional amount of pressure on top of the new contracts just signed. I could see giving Hall & Eberle an alternating home & away "A" shared with either Smyth/Hemsky/Smid/Whitney. It's unfair to strip Horcoff of the "C" just because he is not performing to his contract, he is still a good soldier & mentor.

The long contracts are products of the people who benefit the most from them, the agents.
Each team should be allowed; 2 seven year contracts 3 six year, and 4 five year. The lifer contracts are oxpoo, most players that sign them are not good team players, nor loyal through the draft to them. They dont make much sense to me, but i bet they do to the player and the agent.
I side with the NHL on this penis measurement.
I agree that Smid should get a letter. He is a true Oiler, at heart and on the ice.
I think it's a mic that bettman is wearing. ... or did you forget to turn on the sarcasm font. Good article though. Since the biggest issue really is the HRR and the split of it, I can't imagine these two sides taking more than another month to get that sorted out.
September 05 2012, 02:29PM
Hey Gregor, do you think the naming of Landeskog would sour some of the Avs dressing room, I mean it;s not like he was an heir apparent (like Crosby) and from everything I hear O'Reilly was thought to be a real strong candidate?
P.s I usually take the side of business owners because I think in our society (weather right or wrong) him who has the cash usually makes the decisions, but in this case the workers are the ones who bring in the revenue. We need transparency and all joking aside both sides need to be solutionists (solution oriented). there has to be a common ground but nothing will be accomplished as long as ego and battles are fought in the media.
September 05 2012, 02:33PM
I agree. Why can't they just say that since this is a "partnership" they are going to split the revenues 50/50. Doesn't that seem fair to everyone? Wouldn't that be a true partnership? Also why is everyone so against the owners? They put up half a billion dollars to buy the francise why shouldn't they be able to make $20 or $30 million a year in profits. That's only 4-6% profits per year on their investment which isn't much and there are a bunch of them losing that much or more. Are the players losing money every year? The owners are at least trying to negotiate. The players don't offer a proposal until a month before before the CBA expires, then doesn't give up much which is just a stall tactic because their proposal is from left field and not really dealing with the problem. Then when the owners come up significantly the player say, "oh that's nice" but don't move at all. That is not a negoiation that's just not caring.
I also don't understand the hate on the owners for giving large amounts of money to players in contracts. Of course you will because if you don't offer that much some other team will. The NHL is very competitive and 1 player can make the difference between going deep in the playoffs and missing the playoffs. So you pay the player $1 million more than anyone else with the shot at making $20 million in playoff revenue. It seems worth it to me.
Anyway I just want it to be over so we can watch hockey again.
I'm certainly not the first to suggest it, but Landeskog as Captain reeks of desperation, or rather a lack of depth on the Avs. This isn't meant as a knock on Landeskog, the guy is a beast and has a hell of a resume for leadership, but its surprising that no-one beyond Hejduk is fit to be captain of that team. I've thought fairly highly of Colorado's young talent, but if their management is this unsure about the rest of the team it doesn't bode well for their future.
If Gagner gets it together this season (50+ points, stronger defensive play and faceoffs)he should be resigned and given a letter (probably the C). As crazy as it sounds he is probably the best candidate on the team after Horcoff and Smyth. Ask Yakupov who was the first to contact him after he was drafted (that's a Captains job). Gagner works as hard as anyone on the ice (and off), has the most experience of any of the young guys, and wants to stay in Edmonton and lead this team.
As you mention Jason, there's more to being a captain than playing the game. Gagner seems to have his head right and level on his shoulders and is probably a better candidate for taking care of the off-ice tribulations than Hall or Eberle, who are still getting it all figured out (not that they can't be leaders too, they just don't need the extra responsibility of the C).
September 05 2012, 02:54PM
Jason Smith was a fierce competitor and he left it on the ice after every game. I'll always remember when the Oilers got him the first thing he did was surgically have his big toe nails removed so as not to get injured when blocking shots. That guywas a warrior and a tribute to old time hockey players.
Hall is my pick for captain, the team lives and dies with his fierce forecheck and drive to do anything it takes to win. This is Halls team and Nuge and Ebs are excellent choices for the A.
September 05 2012, 03:52PM
Gregor with the CBA one problem is they don't know how to negotiate, Bettmen and Fehr are lawyers there job is to slow things down all low ball. Why's it so hard for the owners just to say we NEED a 50/50 split why through 43% when they know it's an insult. Same with Fehr and the players why come up with a whole diffrent cba and not work off the original proposal makes no sense. I put deals together every day (not at this magnitude) but scale means little. every single person or group has a deal in ther mind when they start low balling gets little down you can piss off the other party or insult them so bad that they get away from there original deal and become very hard to deal with and i see this from the players. That 1st proposal pissed them right off as it should've Gary new they would never even consider 43% and the players should know better than to come back with a propsal that went back to 57% in the 4th year. If the players take the 50/50 split at the rate of growth at 7.1% they will be back at this salary cap in 2 years, From my point of view the 2 head guys like seeing themselves on TV to much there's no way when 2 groups need each other to work it should be this difficult to get done. Like i said be straight forward tell the other party what you NEED not WANT to make a deal. As for whos side I'm on it's us the fans owners should be slapped accross there mouths i watched and listened last lockout "cost certanty" doing this for the "fans" was tossed out by Gary and owners lower ticket prices bullcrap oiler tickets went down 6 bucks in the first year and have gone up 150% since then. "Cost certanty" this is what drives me the owners had the PA beat to death last time the players would'vesigned any deal just to get back on the ice this cba was the owners pride and joy NOW it's bad to friggen bad for them it was there deal it was why we lost a year.
September 05 2012, 03:56PM
Outstanding article Gregor! I think that this piece ought to be distributed as page one in the hand books that are passed out at the NHL/PA's meetings! Any MSM coverage I have viewed on this topic has lacked any substance whatsoever! 'Nuff of the goofy stuff, let's get down to brass tacks!
As far as the captaincy goes, I'd personally like to see Horc carry it one more year, and letting the youth build on what was, essentially, an outstanding start to something beautiful, without putting undue stress on either/any of them. Another season to let Hall and Ebs show the leadership without being saddled with any off ice distractions, allowing them to moreso grow into the role(s).
September 05 2012, 06:40PM
Would that so many of us didn't live and die by being fans of hockey. Many reasons, too numerous to mention, all of them valid.
As fans, as dollar paying customers, we're being taken advantage of. Lots of lip service, (both sides proclaiming the last thing they want to do is penalize the fans,) but end of day, that's exactly what it turns out to be - lip service.
As our culture evolves, who isn't familiar with looking out for number one? Owners, players, me and you. And even me and you pay lip service to what it was like during the good old days; great stuff, neighbours looked out for neighbours, the dollar was evil but NOT as evil as it is today. On and on, a lot of it inaccurate.
As simple as it can possibly be: Owners run the risk of a failed franchise. (Ask the guys who used to own the Coyotes, the guy who owned the Seals, the Cavaliers, the Rockies, etc. etc. etc.) Since these guys risk personal financial ruin, it seems only fair that they have the right to attempt, within generally accepted reason, fairness, labour standards, call it what you will, to call the shots. Such is the nature of capitalism as we know it.
So. If the above is reasonably accurate, it's their football to take home. If Donald and his merry men don't much like the hundreds of thousands, even millions, they take home annually, if that's their idea of having to eat cake, then they should form their own league.
Bottom line is that I for one am tired of being taken advantage of. If there's a lockout this time round, not one dollar spent by me until the playoffs. Even then I'll feel guilty. Surely do wish I didn't love the game as much as I do.
Bottom line for me is...
...I don't want to hear who got what percent cuz really, it doesn't affect me. Just let me know if it's done or not.
As far as taking sides? Who cares...
The employer has a right to make money. So does the employee.
The fringe player doesn't deserve 50% of the superstar tho.
September 05 2012, 08:37PM
As for HRR, the reporting so far, as in all aspects of the negotiations, has been terrible. How can we have a meaningful discussion of HRR without a precise explanation of exactly what it includes and doesn't include, what areas are in dispute and the arguments pro and con?
I am trying to follow this closely and I still do not know specifically what the owners now want excluded from HRR because if anyone is reporting those details I can't find them.
I agree get the books on the table of all revenue streams and get only the ones that are fair on table (ticket revs, advertising, jerseys and merchandise player/ team related etc) and get rid of the nonsense!
Otherwise maybe we should consider putting forward a "Crowd-proposal"- starting with a 25% roll back in all ticket prices! And let them start with that haircut.
September 06 2012, 01:57AM
Has anyone see that fabulous YouTube video from Finland about the lockout. Got to see it.
Don't know if this will work. It is called NHL - Together we can. Unbelievable compilation ending with devastating shot of Ray Bourque finally lifting the Cup while a boy (his son?) fights back tears.
September 06 2012, 05:37AM
what sucks is both sides will sign for the same deal in three months that they could sign for today.Not being able to get a deal done is not a sign of a good leader its proves how bad both leaders are.
September 06 2012, 08:45AM
Once again the owners will give Bettman a vote of lockout . It worked to their huge advantage last time and now they will try and do it again before real negotiations even start to evolve . Owners win no matter what , it's just a matter of how much this time . Fehr will help union do better than last time when players got taken to the cleaners so called . Appears to be more the greed of owners than Bettman if a lockout ensues . Certainly a deal can be reached in fast order if the games and posturing is finally over .
September 06 2012, 09:36AM
Well I hope they lock themselves into a room and hammer this stuff out. Get it done. Enough of this five year dribble make one that counts at least to 2020. This back and forth firing pot shots is hopeless for everyone. I love hockey and I personally say that it taken me five years to convince family members to watch again, and now this crap is recycling itself all over again. Good job guys...
Jason, Gary is wearing one of those Britney Spears mics.
September 06 2012, 10:25AM
*insert token, "We've got NFL 3 nights a week now, who cares about the NHL" comment here*
Im not sure why so much mileage is given to "letters".
Horc is the Oilers captain because of work ethic, on and off the ice, longevity and perhaps a wee bit of "leadership" in the sense of follow me through this wall boys. He does an adequate job at delivering the pat answers required to appease the media, but at this point in the NHL the stick boy can deliver that junk verbatim. (as can any 6 year old fan... but I digress).
The Oilers as a group play like a bunch of pussies, soft as a babies bottom and I dont see any of the new crop being divergent from that trend.
If it is agreed that the Oilers need to be a much more difficult team to play against then the next "captain" needs to be able to inspire physicality.
I wish him luck.
September 06 2012, 10:43PM
I am afraid of Donald Fehr, just like I'm afraid of clowns. He has a heavy reputation as a labour representative, he is a protege of Marvin Miller, he oversaw 17 years of MLB with average earnings of players increasing more than 10X (from 289,000 to 3 million+), and he is going to prove a bigger head-ache to the owners than can be imagined. The idea that the union is only as strong as the membership makes it... this is true and a leader like Fehr won't let the membership cave like last CBA. A pessimist would not only be kissing this season good-bye he would be preparing for a return to a 2 tiered NHL where only 4 large market teams compete yearly for the championship, just like MLB.

Taken as the cruise boat was about to turn around and head back up the Gordon River. The Captain suddenly stopped the engines and called for everyone to head to the bow of the boat and we would see something we would not forget.

Princess of Wales Conservatory
History and design
The Princess of Wales Conservatory was commissioned in 1982 to replace a group of 26 smaller buildings that were falling into disrepair. It was named after Princess Augusta, who was instrumental in founding the botanic gardens at Kew, and was opened in 1987 by Diana, Princess of Wales. It is the most complex conservatory at Kew, containing ten computer-controlled climatic zones under one roof.
The two main climate zones are the 'dry tropics', representing the world's warm, arid areas, and the 'wet tropics', housing moisture loving plants from ecosystems such as rainforests and mangrove swamps. The eight remaining microclimates include a seasonally dry zone containing desert and savanna plants, plus sections for carnivorous plants, ferns and orchids.
Whereas the Palm and Temperate Houses make grand statements with their designs, the low-lying, angular 'glazed hill' of the Princess of Wales house is less obtrusive. The conservatory was designed by architect Gordon Wilson to be energy-efficient and easy to maintain and was built partly underground.
The southern end is heated more by the sun than the northern end, so this is where visitors find towering spikes of echiums and silver agaves from dry tropical regions such as the arid Canary Islands. The central area contains an elevated aquaria, complete with waterlily pond and the dangling roots of mangroves, plus displays of orchids and carnivorous plants. At the northern end are species from the moist tropics, including banana, pineapple, pepper and ginger.
There is also a 'time-capsule' buried at the southern end of the conservatory. Sir David Attenborough placed it in the foundations there in 1985 as part of the World Wildlife Fund's Plants Campaign. Containing seeds of basic food crops and endangered species, it is not due to be exhumed until 2085. By this time, many of the plants it contains may have become rare or extinct.
Things to look out for
The pond within the aquaria section contains the Asian form of the giant waterlily Euryale ferox. This plant has huge leaves that can span two metres and are strong enough to take the weight of baby without sinking. On the lower level, there are viewing windows so visitors can see the pond from a fish's eye view. Close by are separate tanks containing a rhombeus piranha, poison-dart tree frogs and baby water dragons. These displays demonstrate how plants and animals interact in their natural tropical rainforest habitats.
Towards the northern end of the glasshouse, are some familiar houseplants originating from the wet tropics. These include the African violet (Saintpaulia) and Swiss cheese plant (Monstera deliciosa).
There are about nine water dragons that live and breed freely in Zone 1. They provide a natural means of controlling unwanted insects in the Princess of Wales Conservatory but tend to keep out of sight of visitors.
Annual orchid festival
Once a year, the Princess of Wales glasshouse hosts a festival celebrating the beauty of tropical orchids. Kew's orchid collection numbers some 1,500 species, and staff working its micropropagation laboratory are becoming adept at bringing rare species back from the brink of extinction.
Keeping the Princess of Wales Conservatory's plants in good shape requires much hard graft behind the scenes. The team clean out the pools in spring, develop outdoor displays such as the Mediterranean Garden in summer, top up the glasshouse's soil and replant beds in autumn, and prune plants throughout the winter.
There are sensors located on the glasshouse walls and secreted about the beds to feed environmental information back to the conservatory's central computer. This switches on heat flows, opens vents to allow in cool air or prompts mist sprays to operate, until the preset conditions required for each climatic zone are met.

Bill Gates Agreed with Ballmer: Sinofsky Had to Go
Tiffany Kaiser
November 13, 2012 2:43 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Ballmer and Gates recognized that Microsoft needs to be more united internally across different divisions, and that change would be difficult with Sinofsky around
It turns out that Microsoft software head
Steven Sinofsky's departure
wasn't so sudden, and none other than Bill Gates was onboard with the decision.
Sinofsky, former president of Microsoft's Windows and Windows Live division, announced that he was
leaving the company
yesterday after a little over 23 years with the tech giant. It was reported as a "sudden" move that no one expected, but new details behind the departure show that the decision was contemplated for a while and even backed by Microsoft co-founder and chairman Bill Gates.
While Sinofsky was seen as a brilliant figure at Microsoft, his downfall was that he didn't get along with others within the company. He was notorious for picking fights with other executives, including current CEO Steve Ballmer, and even pushed former executives like chief software architect Ray Ozzie to quit.
Sinofsky was key to the development of Windows 8, which was
released October 26
and features an entirely new look and feel from the traditional Windows experience. However, Ballmer recognized that Microsoft needs to be more united internally across different divisions, and that change would be difficult with Sinofsky around.
Typically, in other company disputes, Ballmer and Gates would back up Sinofsky. But that doesn't seem to be the case this time around. Microsoft is looking to change and integrate teams across various units within the company. Ballmer saw Sinofsky as an obstacle to getting to that point, and
with Gates' support
, decided to part ways with Sinofsky.
All Things Digital
heard rumors about Sinofsky's departure over the last few weeks, both from inside and outside of Microsoft's walls.
While the decision to part ways with Sinofsky was a good thing in terms of moving Microsoft in a new direction, it also means the loss of a great mind that had a strong handle on Microsoft's software and innovation. Sinofsky may not be a team player, but he was great at what he did. Losing that sort of creativity and completely revamping the inner dynamic of how Microsoft's teams work will not be an easy task.
Julie Larson-Green, who has worked with Microsoft since 1993, is replacing Sinofsky. She played a key role in program management, and UI design/research for Windows 7 and Windows 8. So we'll see if Larson-Green can stand up to the challenge and fill Sinofsky's shoes while complying with the new integrated direction Microsoft is looking to take.
Sinofsky's leave is eerily similar to that of the recently departed
Scott Forstall
, Apple's former VP of iOS Software. Forstall was let go in late October after 15 years with Apple due to recent issues with iOS 6's maps and his tendency to not get along with other Apple execs.
"Then they pop up and say 'Hello, surprise! Give us your money or we will shut you down!' Screw them. Seriously, screw them. You can quote me on that." -- Newegg Chief Legal Officer Lee Cheng referencing patent trolls

Slovakia confirmed as Canada's opponent for men's World League volleyball qualifier July 29-30 at Scotiabank Place in Ottawa
OTTAWA – Canada will face Slovakia in what promises to be an exciting two-match series in the first round of qualifying for the 2012 FIVB World League in men's volleyball July 29-30 at Scotiabank Place in Ottawa. Both matches start at 7:30 p.m.
The Slovakians beat Spain in five sets to gain the right to face Canada at the European Continental championships this past weekend. Canada is currently ranked 22nd in the world while Slovakia stands at number 33.
''Slovakia is a very strong team and they have qualified to compete as well at the European championships later this year,'' said Canada's head coach Glenn Hoag. ''Our players that play pro in Europe over the winter know those players well and they know the task ahead will be a challenge.'
Canada kept its World League hopes alive last month with a bronze medal performance at the Pan Am Cup in Gatineau, Que.
''Being at home for those two matches should give us an advantage,'' said Hoag. ''Our players love to play in Canada and show what they can do for the home crowd. That was obvious at the Pan Am Cup where she had some fine performances.''
The last time Canada competed in the World League was in 2007 when it placed 13th. The FIVB World League, now in its 22nd year, is a 16-country intercontinental tournament that runs for over a 6 week period every summer and offers the biggest cash prizes in the sport.
''The priority this year is still the Olympic qualifying tournament but the World League is a great opportunity for us,'' said Hoag. ''If we can make it, that would open up a whole new schedule of games for us for next season.''
The winner of the series will be based on a formula of the winning team earning three points for a 3-0 or 3-1 win in sets and two points for a 3-2 win. The loser in the first instance would receive 0 points and one point for a 3-2 loss.

Ship Weight:0.85 Servings:6 Jovial Foods - Organic Gluten Free Penne Rigate Brown Rice Pasta - 12 oz. (340g) Jovial Foods Organic Gluten Free Penne Rigate Brown Rice Pasta was developed for taste and texture first, gluten free second. Master artisans in Tuscany, Italy have skillfully transformed 100% brown rice flour into the most authentic gluten free pasta available. There is no need to feel like you are sacrificing any longer when eating gluten free. This healthful pasta will adapt perfect to your favorite recipe. USDA Certified Organic Certified Gluten-Free Kosher Eco-Friendly Packaging Sustainably Packaged Caring about the environment means caring about the packaging. Jovial Brown Rice pasta is packaged in a carton made from 80% recycled cardboard and is 100% recyclable. The inner bag is certified 100% compostable, made from FSC certified wood pulp. Allergen Note Jovial brown rice pasta is certified by the Gluten Intolerance Group at a level less than 10PPM. This product is made in a dedicated facility free of gluten, casein, eggs, tree nuts and peanuts, but may contain traces of soy. Wheat Intolerance Jovial has developed the most authentic tasting gluten free products for individuals with Celiac Disease so everyone can enjoy great, wholesome food from a trusted source. Gluten Free If you have been led to a gluten-free diet, you are not alone and you have not gotten there because your body is defective in some way. They were told by a scientist in Italy that has devoted his studies to gluten intolerance that everyone is unable to digest gluten to some extent-some more than others. Achieving high levels of gluten in modern hybrids has been a goal of plant breeders over the last century. It does not seem surprising to us that modern wheat varieties with higher levels of gluten have coincided with a sharp increase in wheat intolerance and Celiac Disease. Gluten is what makes wheat different from any other grain. Gluten is a protein, making up close to 80% of the total protein content of wheat, which gives dough stickiness and is preferred for bread and pasta production. More and more people are eliminating gluten from their diet and an increasing number of individuals are being diagnosed with Celiac Disease. Gluten-free diets have also been used in conjunction with the treatment of other medical conditions, such as Autism, Multiple Sclerosis, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Others report not having any particular medical condition but feeling better when limiting wheat consumption. Jovial gluten free products were developed out of a heartfelt compassion for all of us who have had a food intolerance critically effect personal health and wellness. They believe eating gluten free should be pleasurable and not feel like a sacrifice. It is not that products formulated without gluten can't taste great; it's how relentless you are in developing them. First EverGuaranteed When you see the First Ever trademark, it is their guarantee to you that they are providing the purest and most thoughtfully produced Einkorn product possible. Seeds and supply are virtually unavailable, so they have had to take care of growing the grain to fulfill their needs. Einkorn is also a very low yield crop, producing less than half the harvest of common wheat, which makes it financially challenging for farmers, so they are committed to building a lasting, respectful relationship directly with their growers. Einkorn performs very differently than other wheat, resulting in numerous difficulties during milling and processing. They have overcome these hurdles by working with amazingly talented food artisans that have had expertise passed down through generations. Jovial has many more einkorn products under development and will bring them to you as they increase their supply of grain. By controlling the entire supply chain, from seed to package, they can provide an absolute guarantee that you will always receive the purest and most delicious einkorn products possible. Frequently Asked Questions Q: I would like more information about their 100% compostable packaging material. A: The inner bag and windows of their packages are made from FSC wood-pulp and are fully certified to the European (EN13432) and American (ASTM D6400) norms for compostable packaging. This material is suitable home composting and will typically break down in just a few weeks and is also biodegradable. Additionally, the production has gained CarbonNeutral™ accreditation. Similar materials are principally made from raw materials such as corn, potatoes or wheat. They have selected their material because it is produced from wood pulp that is sourced from managed plantations, having a lesser impact on the environment and avoiding the possible use of Genetically Modified Organisms. This material is not made of plastic and is not suitable for standard plastic recycling. Q: I followed their cooking instructions, but the pasta did not turn out so perfect? A: Be aware that their first batch of einkorn rigatoni and penne listed the incorrect cooking time on the box. Please cook these two items for 13 and not 10 as listed. Cooking times vary and depend on their stove and climate, so please taste for doneness to be sure the texture is right for you. For better tasting brown rice pasta, be sure to maintain the cooking water at a rolling boil. Q: Does einkorn contain gluten? A: Yes, einkorn is a species of wheat and does contain gluten. Although einkorn gluten may be more digestible than modern wheat, if you are avoiding gluten in your diet for health reasons, please try their delicious gluten free products as a tasty alternative. Q: Are Jovial products certified Kosher? A: At this time, only their pasta products are certified kosher by OK Kosher. They can provide a certificate upon request. Q: I am a vegan. Which products are suitable for me? A: Jovial Brown Rice pasta and Einkorn pasta are both suitable for vegans. Einkorn is an excellent source of b Vitamins and trace minerals. They do sell one cookie that carries Vegan certification, it is called Crispy Cocoa, and is made with einkorn wheat. Q: Do their foods contain genetically modified organisms? A: All of the ingredients used in Jovial products are GMO free. Q: Does any of their packaging contain BPA? A: No, they guarantee to their consumer that their packaging materials are free from BPA. The Jovial Mission Their mission is to create authentic, unique and satisfying foods you can trust, with a time-honored taste that embraces the heritage of their ancestors. Their crops are lovingly cultivated by small-scale farmers and their products are masterly crafted by Italian artisans, resulting in the finest nutrient-rich, distinctly flavorful foods. They take their mission very seriously and promise to: Rediscover the purest ancient and heirloom varieties of ingredients, replenish their supply and transform them into products that enhance nature's innate goodness. Honor individuals with food intolerance by sourcing only the finest allergen-free ingredients to create delicious and wholesome foods they can enjoy with confidence. Support the small-family farmer and pursue a sustainable business model in which they are directly monitoring the growing, harvesting and processing in limited geographical areas to reduce their fossil fuel consumption. Offer the cleanest and most recyclable and compostable packaging options available, because caring about the environment means considering the entire process, from seed to shelf. Jovial: A lifetime getting here. Experiencing the loss of both parents to cancer at a young age led me to a personal and professional interest in organic foods. A little struggle of my own with this disease drove me to a deeper understanding of how essential food is to wellness. Having children with food allergies made me go beyond organic to question how a healthy organic diet could still be a source of illness. These life lessons were experienced in the company of my Italian-born husband Rodolfo, after they met in Bologna when I turned twenty. He had experienced similar lessons in life and they had the same interests. His personal passion for farming led us to realize that the most vital starting part of the food chain was in distress. The Disappearance of Traditional Food Varieties A trip to Italy as a teen introduced my American taste buds to heirloom foods. It was the first spoonful of a homemade apricot jam, made from the fruit of an age-old tree that spoke to me in a profound way. On that same beloved trip, I plucked fresh figs from a giant tree and their once in a lifetime flavor mesmerized me. Tasting this fruit was firsthand experience of nature's masterly crafted offerings, perfectly engineered for the lucky few who were smart enough to simply honor and not meddle with them. Fast forward some twenty years and I am feeling profound disappointment over the selection of apples in my local organic supermarket in Italy. Surrounded by the choice of good looking Golden Delicious, Gala, Granny Smith, and Fuji on the outside, yet fully aware I am bringing home sheer tastelessness on the inside. How could this be? I fled the United States for flavor and here I was faced with the same varieties of displeasing apples all over again. What had Italian farmers done with the crisp, tart and juicy varieties of their ancestors? Have you ever heard that the banana risks extinction? I never would have imagined there is only one commercial variety grown throughout the world which goes by the name of Cavendish. The same banana is grown and eaten worldwide. This variety is being wiped out by a fast-growing fungus and a back-up variety was never developed. Banana seeds were bred out because they were big and hard so it may take too long to procure a replacement if the fungus isn't managed first. Many informed consumers oppose Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO), but few of us ponder the detriment that plant breeding has had on their food. Naturally bred hybrid plant varieties accomplished much, transforming a pale little clump of wild carrot into a long cylinder of bright orange. I once tried to grow a strictly heirloom garden and realized the varieties are not always easy to cultivate and yields can be low. However, the mission of plant breeders went astray a few decades ago as they concentrated on developing new varieties for commercial reasons only, varieties that could withstand mechanical harvesting, transportation and months of storage. Flavor equals nutrition so as the new varieties lost flavor they also lost nutrients. The Jovial Difference-From Seed to Shelf As they developed the Jovial brand, they decided it was time to go beyond organic and take a closer look to find the purest of plant varieties. This led us to the exciting rediscovery of einkorn, the most ancient wheat of all, and a clear vision of what their future would be. Jovial had its official start in 2010, but was idealized for many years. It is their dream to change the future of agriculture by creating consumer demand for ancient and heirloom varieties of food. They have a deep commitment to support a small-scale, sustainable economic model that focuses on farming first and then considers the entire process all the way through to the shelf. They believe the purest food they all are all seeking can only come from the purest seed

Koltnow: Copperfield talks magic, movies
Just down the street from Frank Sinatra Drive and the flashy Las Vegas Strip sits an unremarkable building in an industrial part of town. The contents of that building are quite remarkable.
The building not only houses the workshop and offices of the world's most celebrated magician, but also a two-story private museum devoted exclusively to the art of magic and the magic of movies.
David Copperfield says he has always loved movies as much as he loves magic, and his museum includes props and artifacts from many classic films, including "Citizen Kane."
Despite a hectic schedule divided between his nightly show at the MGM Grand and touring the world, the 56-year-old illusionist lends his expertise whenever Hollywood calls. Well, Hollywood called for the new Steve Carell comedy "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone," which opens Friday.
Carell and Steve Buscemi play childhood friends who translate an early love of magic into a lucrative career as Las Vegas headliners. But after 10 years in the big showroom, their act is getting stale, and they face a serious threat from a new, dangerous breed of magician in the form of Jim Carrey.
Copperfield not only has a cameo but served as technical advisor and created an elaborate illusion for Carell and Buscemi to perform in the film. The actors, who performed the illusion without special effects, stunt doubles or camera tricks, said they had to sign confidentiality papers and are sworn never to reveal the secrets of "The Hangman."
The museum, which is closed to the public, contains more than 80,000 pieces of magic memorabilia, with an entire room dedicated to the legendary Harry Houdini - including the magician's famed "water torture cell" and an audio recording of Houdini's voice. During a personal tour of the museum, Copperfield sat for an interview with the Orange County Register in a room honoring the magician who inspired Houdini – the 19th century French illusionist Jean Eugene Robert-Houdin.
ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER: Like you, I was born and raised in New Jersey. Like you, my grandparents are from the Ukraine. And like you, I had a childhood interest in magic. So how come I'm not living with a French supermodel?
DAVID COPPERFIELD (laughs): She (Chloe Gosselin, Copperfield's girlfriend and mother of his young daughter) will be very happy to hear that you called her a supermodel.
Q. I'm not kidding. I want to know why you, at the age of 12, were the youngest member ever admitted to the Society of American Magicians, and I wasn't?
A. It came very easy for me.
Q. But what sparked your interest in magic?
A. I guess I was a bit of a loner. I was looking for something to excite me. I tried ventriloquism, but I was a crappy ventriloquist. Then I started doing magic, and I found the spark. I invented magic easily. I would read a book on magic from the library, but I wouldn't read how the tricks were done. I would try to figure out how to do the effects on my own, even as an 8-year-old. And sometimes, my methods were better than the ones in the book.
Q. What inspired you to do large theatrical stage illusions and not just stick with close-up magic?
A. I saw a Bob Fosse show on Broadway called "Pippin." At one point in the show, a red silk handkerchief sits on the stage. When Ben Vereen pulled on it, the entire set came out of that silk handkerchief. I thought: "Whoa, maybe there is a way to make magic theatrical."
Q. When did Davino the Boy Magician become David Copperfield?
A. When I was 18.
Q. May I ask you why you chose that name?
A. An act of stupidity. Now I have to share it with Dickens (laughs). Most people don't know it, but Charles Dickens was a performing magician.
Q. Is that why you took the name?
A. No. I found that out afterward. A reporter suggested the name. I was born David Kotkin, and I wanted to be an actor as well as a magician. I'm not so sure it was the smartest thing to do.
Q. Many years ago, I was invited to a show by the great Peruvian illusionist Richiardi. The audience was made up of professional magicians. When he did his famous vanishing-girl-in-the-chair trick, the audience rose as one and cheered. The next morning, I asked Richiardi over breakfast if they jumped to their feet because he had fooled them, or because they were applauding his technique. He said they knew how he did it. I was wondering if you ever try to fool other magicians.
A. I do. I take great pleasure in it. By the way, Richiardi is the one performing magician who inspired me. He didn't invent any of that stuff but he did it amazingly well. He had terrific command of the stage, which is rare. Most magicians rely on fooling people. He didn't rely on fooling people; he relied on his character and presence. Richiardi's presence was as important as Humphrey Bogart's presence or George Clooney's presence. That's the inspiration I took from him.
Q. In "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone," the schism that exists between the two schools of magic is shown comically, but neither side is portrayed in a flattering way. I was wondering why you would associate yourself with a movie that pokes fun at your profession.
A. Poking fun at an art form is healthy. Did "Blades of Glory" paint ice skaters in an unflattering way? Yes, but it was funny. I have a lot of comedy in my show, so I'm not afraid of poking fun.
Q. We've seen you walk through the Great Wall of China and make the Statue of Liberty disappear. Don't you find it difficult to keep topping yourself?
A. That's the reason I had to get away for a while. I stopped doing magic for five years. Now I'm back with all new stuff, like the levitation in the middle of the audience. That's a trick that might fool other magicians, by the way.
Q. Have you ever heard stories of someone performing real magic, or is that just a bad movie plot?
A. You hear stuff, but in the end, it's usually pretty disappointing. I hope something really exists. Still, there are some pretty magical things that do happen in the world, like the birth of a child.
Q. Are these new magicians, as represented in the movie by Jim Carrey, a threat to you?
A. I don't think so. We're not really doing the same thing. For many of these reality-show magicians, the camera is on the audience so you see their reactions. My magic is more on the action, not the reaction.
Q. Do you get along with the other magicians in Las Vegas?
A. Some. I respect anybody who respects the art form.
Q. In the movie, Steve Carell's character dismisses Jim Carrey by saying "it's not magic." Is that how you feel?
A. No, it is magic for one emotion. The emotion of "Oh, my gosh." It's not the magic to make you laugh or cry, or take you on a journey.
Q. What thrills you more – performing close-up magic for just four people in a room, or to make the State of Liberty disappear in front of a worldwide television audience?
A. Neither. It's doing something like the death saw, which is set up like an escape. The saw gets closer and closer, and the audience gets more and more anxious. Then I don't escape and the saw cuts me in two, and the audience flips out. Then I have to reverse time so I can put my two pieces back together again. That's what thrills me. It's a piece of theater.
Q. You've been the most famous magician in the world for a long time, which has brought you a fair share of criticism. How difficult has it been to be the target of that criticism?
A. It hurts. Then you get up and try to learn from it.
Q. Do you think it's motivated by professional jealousy?
A. I think there is jealousy in every profession. I worked my butt off, and sacrificed so much in my life. Yes, it worked out pretty good, but people should be inspired by that, not jealous of it.
Q. What drives you to keep updating your show?
A. I had to. People were stealing from me.
Q. There are no trademark protections on illusions?
A. There are, and I have one lawsuit going in France, but it's time-consuming and you have to reveal all your secrets. It's not worth it; you have to keep moving forward. I learned this from the movies. When there is one successful movie, there are going to be a dozen more just like it.
Q. Why do you like performing in Las Vegas?
A. Everybody comes here.
Q. Steve Carell told me about a scene in which he and Buscemi were dangled 65 feet above the Strip in a Plexiglas box. They assumed a real crowd of curious onlookers would gather and the producers wouldn't have to pay extras. This being Vegas, nobody even noticed them. Is it hard to get people's attention in Las Vegas?
A. When I started here, I couldn't get a spot as an opening act. I was already a TV star and they wouldn't let me in. Then Bill Cosby had me as an opening act at the Hilton. The Righteous Brothers then asked me to open for them, and that turned everything around. There were only six showrooms in town. Now there are 300 shows in town. I'm one of 300 choices. That's why I love touring. When I go into a town, I'm the only show in town that day.
Q. Have you ever been fooled by a magician?
A. Yes, but only for a couple of minutes. Then I figured it out. But it was a great feeling being fooled.
Q. When was the last time you were fooled?
A. It was the Broadway show "Ghost." My friend, Paul Kieve, created the magic for the show. A character walks through a door. I really didn't know how he did it at first.
Q. In that moment, did you understand why people like magic shows?
A. It's amazement, and that's a wonderful feeling.

Patriotic Duty
At Ease
Theme: Cities & Suburbs
Artist: Nicholas NEDELKOPOULOS
Birth/Death: 1955
Title: The last frontier
Credit Line: Gordon Darling Fund 1989. National Gallery of Australia, Canberra.
An astute observer of an urban, media-mad people, Nicholas Nedelkopoulos pulls the rug from under the Australian myth of sun, surf and a fair go for all.
A frieze of copulating bodies reveals the suburbs to be a hive of polymorphous perversity. In the bookshelves Germaine Greer, A.B. Facey, Peter Carey, David Malouf, Patrick White and Helen Garner sit alongside AC/DC, Slim Dusty, Cold Chisel and Col Joye.
Dominating the image is a banner pronouncing 200 YEARS OF GENOCIDE, draped across a house where a confrontation takes place between Aboriginal people and white police. Created on the eve of Australia's Bicentenary, The last frontier is a fierce satire on social and political unrest.

Four male teenagers accused of raping a female Umass Amherst freshman in October were indicted on aggravated rape charges by a Hampshire County Grand Jury this week. The defendants could face life sentences if convicted.
The Grand Jury indictments move the cases from the district to superior court level. The defendants are three 18-year-old Pittsfield residents, and one 17-year-old resident of Windsor Locks, Connecticut. All face three counts of aggravated rape, while one, Adam Liccardi of Pittsfield, faces an additional count of rape. The defendants allegedly raped a female UMass freshman in her dorm room after she agreed to drink alcohol and smoke marijuana with them.
Don Frank, a Springfield defense attorney says, if convicted, the defendants could face life sentences in prison, or be registered as level two or three sex offenders.
"Which means that they will be constantly monitored for, perhaps, the rest of their lives, until removed from the sex registry. It is a burden that is very, very heavy, just the sex registration alone."
Frank says that alcohol complicates the case. He says under Massachusetts law, being drunk is not considered enough to inhibit one's ability to give consent unless the complainant is drunk to the point of "stupefaction."
"In this case there's apparently some indication that she may have been in and out of consciousness, and that might be a problem for the defendants in this case."
The defendants were also allegedly drunk, but Frank says impaired judgment can't be used as a defense.
"An honest and reasonable, although mistaken, belief that the complainant consented, is no defense to rape in Massachusetts."
Three of the four defendants are scheduled to be arraigned on the charges in Hampshire Superior Court on Monday.

Favorite Comfy Sneaker
"I bought this because I had DSW money to spend and they were on sale. Little did I know this would become my GoTo favorite pair of shoes this summer. Comfy and easy when you don't want a sandal, but breaths so you don't have to wear a sock!"

Jambu Does it Again!
"Okay,So I go ahead & buy these Jambu Sport Sneakers on clearance. Now, I've got a couple of pairs of Jambu's that are a dress shoe. But, I'm thinking, why not? I usually go for the J-41's brand in this type of shoe. These are WONDERFUL! So form fitting (almost too much) But, awesome arch support. Excellent craftmanship on the stitching & the entire shoe. I am now a Jambu fanatic. I say BRING THEM ON!!"

Comfortable and Sporty
"I purchased the Bianca by Jambu over a year ago and I loved the look, feel and comfort. I actually fell in love with them as a tennis shoe. I recently purchased the Noah Sport from DSW and I'm sold on JAMBU. Their shoes offer an added comfort for all types of walking, climbing and exercising. I'm really enjoying their shoes."

Learn about fabric careHOW TO CARE FOR WOOL FABRICS: Dry-cleaning is recommended, though some wools can take hand washing. Always test a swatch first if you are going to care for your wool fabrics at home rather than using a drycleaner. Many of the fine wools Mood sells online and in-store have already been "sponged," or preshrunk, but you can preshrink your wool if necessary. Mood recommends taking your uncut wool fabric to the drycleaners and asking them to steam it for you, which will safely preshrink it more effectively than you can using home methods. Mood strongly recommends test-laundering a swatch, if you plan to wash your garment or home furnishings yourself.
PLEASE NOTE: The above numbers are estimations only. Please take into account garment size, lining and fabric width.

Customer Reviews
Comments: Love this sweatshirt. I am a Large in t-shirts, but he Large was a bit short and small for me. I got the XLarge and it fit perfect. Get a size bigger for the best fit, if its to big, toss it in the dryer it will shrink.
