The knee put an end to World Cup games - but Henrik Lundqvist has otherwise have reason to complain about life. The Café 4 / 2010, we visited him in Manhattan for an exclusive interview about life in New York, the future, pub rounds with Caroline and what really happened when he wrecked his Lamborghini.Henrik Lundqvist makes a soft landing in its highly polished black Maserati. By picking hand on the steering wheel left, he extended his right and also greet the box. I feel like grabbing a fresh Argentine beef, a piece just enough muscle mass murderers.
That he is driving his Maserati today is no accident.
Lamborghini totalkvaddade him just two weeks before our meeting.
Lundqvist smiles a bit shocked, embarrassed, as if the memory still haunts him the pictures, when I crash on the speech.
- I had a fucking lucky. It was only scrap left of the car, "he says and makes a gesture with his arms to emphasize that there really was not much of a car he left behind there on the highway.
Henrik Lundqvist comes directly from morning workout at the MSG Training Center in Tarrytown, a half hour's drive away. It was there, three-lane highway on the Saw Mill River Parkway, which the accident occurred.
According to the newspapers were aquaplaning Lundqvist - "sucked asphalt just get in the car" - and Lamborghini thundered into the guardrail to the right of way.
When Expressen called him up after the crash, he was asked whether he missed his workout was going to.
- No, said Lundqvist, well I got a few minutes late but ran out in the gym.
It is 24 years since the Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Pelle Lindbergh - still regarded by many as the best Swedish NHL keeper of all time - died after running straight into a stone wall with his red Porsche.
Hand on heart, it was actually hydroplaning caused the crash?
- Yes, I did not drive fast at all, "said Lundqvist with a wry smile, as if I may interpret the response as I want.
Lundqvist joking aside: The management of the New York Rangers, had already been in her Swedish nugget that perhaps he should ease a bit on gas. It will not get less nagging now. No new sports car, either, for that matter.
- No, now I Maseratin a while so we'll see. Mom, Dad and Therese (Andersson, Lundqvist's girlfriend for eight years) does not seem so keen that I buy a new Lamborghini. They want me to start driving SUV into training sessions instead ...
Is the car a lot of interest?
- I like cars, but I do absolutely nothing. When I bought the car, I kind entered and knocked on the hood. I go entirely to the look and feel.
Then you came to New York four years ago, you still have gone from a kid Hummer ...
- ... To a Maserati and then a Lamborghini. The thing was that I intended to buy a Ferrari, a silver, but it turned out that the only Ferrari had the inside was a 360 Modena, and it did not feel right. But standing next to a silver Lamborghini. I was a bit hesitant at first, but I got to test drive it and was completely sold.
With Henrik Lundqvist talks about his recent car purchase in the millions, he really sound like if he was in the supermarket on the corner and acted sweets. But he also wrote in a six-year contract in February 2008 giving him nearly 50 million in annual salary and make him the NHL's best paid goalie.
The black sunglasses from Armani, in other words, sit safely on the selected nose when Henrik Lundqvist lighthouses of its one million U.S. dollars smile and look like that artlessly magnetic like any girl friends wish their boyfriends did.
He parked his Italian beauty outside 24 Hour Studio in Manhattan, where he was being photographed for the Café. He gets out and takes a turn around the car to make sure that the car does not obstruct the exit next to the garage.
He has been here before.
- In New York you will not fine. Here whisked the car away immediately, "he explains, and crouched at the height of the rear lights to be one hundred percent sure that his car is okay.
The explanation for his somewhat neurotic behavior is a few years back.
- I parked the car on the street and missed the sidewalk went down a little bit right where I stood. In the morning I looked out the window, and then the car was gone! I watched four times before I realized that the car was really gone. I assumed that it was stolen, but then I called our security guy in the Rangers and it took him half an hour to sniff until it was gone. It had been towed away and had to pick at Pier 71!
So it is just like the Seinfeld episode where Kramer get his car towed away and forced to make a whole day to get it out?
- Yes, but must wait in line for a few hours and be ashamed along with all others who illegally parked ...
When I tell Lundqvist, Swedish supermodel Caroline Winberg at this time photographed in the studio, he is about to boots in to health, but stopped at the last moment of a short cut, middle-aged man with plucked eyebrows, explaining that it did not lend themselves as Caroline, ehum, not fully dressed for the occasion.
Do you know each other and Caroline?
- Yes, we have met a few times. New York is not as big as you might think. We have common friends and run into each other sometimes.
When you are out to turn around?
- Haha, yes, it happens.
When hook you last?
- After the away game against Calgary the day before it became a bit festive. It was the last game of a seven-day roadtrip in Canada, and now we have a few days off, so it suited me.
There are no explicit rules for how you should construct your players outside the rink?
- There is no kindergarten this, but all you do is their own responsibility. But you may of course choose their occasions. It is perhaps not so smart to go out and party head off, two days before the match, but it is clear that we can get some glass even during the season. Personally, I play better if I do stuff in their free time than if I just sit home and stare at the ceiling.
How to handle the New York Rangers bad boy and your buddy, Sean Avery, with the responsibility?
- Haha, well, at least when he is with me ...
Sean Avery was suspended from the game - and had to go to Anger Management to learn to control his temper - after having spoken condescendingly about the actress and former girlfriend Elisha Cuthbert, which he called "my sloppy leftovers" in front of television cameras.
- And in fact I think he was calmer, "said Lundqvist. More relaxed, although he still is ... different.
Crazy, you mean?
- Haha, Sean is ... One of a Kind! It's fun to have slightly different personalities around him. And in addition to the ice we get closer to each other. I get a little more outgoing and he was a bit calmer. It is rare players who are mad are mad on the ice outside, even if it is precisely in this case is not far away.
Sean Avery is very interested in fashion and has particular internship at American Vogue. You also seem the right man for what you take with you?
- Of course I like the clothing fair means, but I'm not so interested that I would practice at Vogue during my vacation!
Can you and Avery out at the mall together?
- Haha ... well it has happened.
How do you practice, you sew up five costumes for every season, or how does it work?
- A bit like that. But I like above all Swedish designers, so I usually buy me some clothes when I'm home during the summer and bring me over here.
You surprised a bit when you got up on stage and played guitar live with Sean Avery opened his sports bar here in New York?
- Yes, I met a guy here in town who lirar, so I played with him a few times and so Sean asked if we wanted to set up.
Do you swear not to make one Mats Wilander and destroy your reputation by recording a song sopig?
- No risk. I play just because it's fun, and because it is a great way to relax away hockey. I'm actually with Jay Weinberg, son of Max Weinberg, who is the drummer in the E Street Band, in a studio here for a couple weeks ago. Jay was a stand-in for his dad at the Springsteen's concerts at the Stadium this summer. He is ridiculously good, and so he brings the singer from his band.
And you tore off some old-Jimi Hendrix solos with the front teeth?
- Haha, no, I'm terribly bad at solos. I'm too slow.
How long have you been playing guitar?
- Me and Joel (Henry's twin brother, forward in Frölunda) started sometime in middle school, but we stopped taking lessons when the family moved from Åre in Bastad.
And how do harmonica making?
- It was like ... Is it that my mom gossiping? Haha, yes, it rolls on.
Are you on very live concerts?
- Yes, some. Some of the guys in the club's organization is very interested in music, so they usually come with tips. I was on Springsteen at Madison Square Garden yesterday. Quite okay, but I've seen him better!
The question is whether Henrik Lundqvist self ever been better. The home game against the expected top team the Boston Bruins a week before our meeting, he prickfri except on a rare excursion out of goal area, which after treatment and doubts puck a little misunderstanding with one of the slopes are about to conclude with a devastating baklängesmål.
- We have a game system where I will not go out and stop some pucks, but sometimes I have to, and the game with the puck is really something I need to improve.
Has it resulted in a magnificent painting?
- Yes, I have actually given away a few goals, including one time when I was trying to score in the open cage, but added the middle of the gap on an opponent so he could make the case instead. It was not so damn successful.
How many goals have you done in your career?
- None. If you do not count the ones I did before I became a goalie, but that's a few years ago.
With just over minutes left in the match against Rangers with Boston leading 1-0. Guests pick out their goalie Tim Thomas - last year's winner of the Vezina Trophy, the price of the NHL's best goalie - and park Slovak Zdeno Chara giant hill in the lap of Lundqvist. After a sweaty rescue of a control with 47 seconds left, the game does the whole audience up and shouting:
- Hen-rich! Hen-rich! Hen-rich!
Swede success of the season's first zero and is assigned as the match star. He takes no cut out on the ice and sending up the club in the audience the sea.
It should, he might not have done.
The escalator on the way out, I am witness to a small drama when a Hispanic woman in her 40s blamed a middle-aged Indian man to have gone to her little son in a desperate attempt to catch Lundqvist's stick.
I continue out, and my eyes get stuck on a large plate depicting Billboard Henrik Lundqvist, goalkeeper of the full livery, with the text: "The King plays here."
I continue out, and my eyes get stuck on a large plate depicting Billboard Henrik Lundqvist, goalkeeper of the full livery, with the text: "The King plays here."
"King" may be a hackneyed epithet of athletes, but Henrik Lundqvist is the rare well. He has "ruled" a long time now. In order to find any real adversity in his career the band have to go back until he was 18 years old.
He would make his first season in the top division with Frölunda. After Lundqvist been torn and the whole pre-season recruits Club NHL deserving American Pat Jablonski at the last moment and Lundqvist consigned to the Farm Team Mölndal.
I got pretty sick of hockey and did not like at all, it was fun, so I went back to juniorlaget and play with friends there and beat back the urge.
How close was it that you ended up with hockey?
- The game is played primarily for fun, so when you lose your passion, it is difficult to motivate themselves. But deep down I probably knew the whole time that I wanted to continue. I could not quit without first fighting and give hockey a real chance.
After a couple of seasons hat was Lundqvist's undisputed first choice at Frölunda goalie record in 2002-2005. He contributed very much to Frölunda national championships in 2003 and received its definitive breakthrough season 2004/2005, when it swarmed with NHL pros in the top division due to play in the NHL lockout.
Despite qualifying opponents as brothers Hossa, Milan Gaborik, Henrik Zetterberg and Peter Forsberg sat Lundqvist no less than four hard to beat a record in finals on the way to the SM-title: greatest number of zeros (six), fewest goals against per game average (1:05 pieces), best save percentage (0.962 percent) and maintained at zero (172 minutes and 29 seconds).
After the season, voted player of the year presented him to the league's most valuable player, and he combed also home the award for best goalkeeper and best player in all categories.
- Last year in Frölunda was like a dream. At the same time, I felt ready for new challenges, so the move to Rangers was natural. But the first few months were tough, and I questioned the whole thing when I was sitting there alone at the hotel in Tarrytown, not knowing if I would have to remain in New York, or sent to the Farm Team. But as soon as it began to roll on, I felt that this was what I wanted, and then I thought no longer about what I left behind me. Henrik Lundqvist's NHL debut was against arch rival New Jersey Devils den 8 October 2005. The loss was after an extension, but Lundqvist accounted for a stable operation, but renewed confidence in the return four days later, which Rangers won.
The Swede acclimatise to the small ice surface, and the high pace faster than anyone dared hope for and already on October 17, just over a week after his debut, he held its first zero.
Had you been warned about the reckless home crowd here in New York?
- I had been here and seen a match before I came here. I was 19 years old and that was the last regular season game of the season. Then they booed out three or four of their players, so I knew the crowd was tough. When things go well they lift up one, and they expect to always do their best. I think it is linked with the spirit of this town. There are not many who can slide around in New York, you have to wear if one is to survive here, and the audience expects the players in their team do the same. It's a tough climate.
So there was no question of 'watch and learn "first year?
- Hardly. I knew that my start was important, not the audience first and foremost, but for my existence in the team and the league. The first home games were really good, so I got the crowd on my side. It enabled me to relax a bit and did not have to focus so much on everything around.
I saw you play in the fall during your rookie season, at home against the Philadelphia Flyers, and with ten minutes left and led 2-0 but you are standing ovation by the audience. How did you manage to avoid being affected by hubris?
- I came here when I was 23 years, after almost five years in the top division, the final years as first goalkeeper. I had got used to play with the press and taught me deal with things outside of both having and adversity. While it is important to have people around who can take down one of the world, family, girlfriend and brother. They are right on the fast stuff, haha! I also know that I can be written down as quickly. You may try to put somewhere in the middle. Someone said to me when were 17, 18 that "you are never as good as it says in the newspapers, but never as bad".
Do you read the newspapers the day after the match?
- Is it me, I read, it goes bad let me be.
Have you been booed in Madison Square Garden at some point?
- Not booed, but it has happened to people a bit sarcastically applauded when I took a long shot loose after releasing four, five pucks. It may be taken.
Before the debut season was over Henrik Lundqvist had won no fewer than 30 matches - a record for rookies - and also recorded for the fourth-highest save percentage and fifth lowest number of goals against average in the league.
He was selected for the All-Star team of rookies and was nominated sensational, as one of three players, at the cost of the league's best goalie.
In addition, he was very much involved in the Three crown-awaited Olympic gold in Turin in 2006. Many of us will always remember his sick rescue club with the shaft of Olli Jokinen alleged acknowledgment of the match last trembling seconds.
Self-ranked Lundqvist another rescue at number one, against Farjestad.
- It was the last match of finalserien 2005th I do not know if the rescue was so special, but I remember it clearly. We turned the game after that, decided in the next attack and then was a long, tough season over. An incredibly nice feeling.
Today you are established in the Rangers. Not all NHL pros who awarded with his own blog on their club website.
Lundqvist looks slightly terrified of me.
- Damn, that is ... Honestly, the page should probably be closed ...
Your last post is dated 8 October! 2008!
- Eh, I'm too ...
... Lazy? Absent-minded?
- Yes, you found two good descriptions there. I am not a computer man, simply. I got Facebook last summer and has been logged three times and have maybe 30 friends. When I was home this summer, I promised everyone that now I'll start using Facebook. I've logged in twice since then. I check my email and read Swedish news, it's really the only thing I do on the computer. Giving on a blog was doomed to fail.
What keeps you in touch with your friends?
- I'm terribly bad at it. I have always been. I like that where I am, where I live, and then I am so evident in the fact that I do not think of anything else. It was the same when I moved to Gothenburg from Bastad. Then it was Gothenburg in force. The really old friends I keep in touch with, but it is still difficult. It creates a new life with new routines where you are, and when I moved to New York, it was also a completely different time zone. It is in itself a poor excuse.
You are born in the sign of the fish. Fish's positive qualities are said to be: kind, honest, reliable, receptive, intuitive, sensual, artistic, inspirational, spiritual, sentimental, intellectual, charming, deep, elegant, dramatic and flirtatious.
- It 's like all the positive characteristics you can have!
Negative characteristics are: sloppy, absent-minded, easily led, secretive, hypersensitive, impatient and evasive.
- Haha, some pieces is really good, I must admit. They are not completely way off. We are banging up against the ninth avenue and find a small restaurant that serves organic food. Lundqvist's only requirement is pasta. Pasta and oatmeal are major constituents of his everyday diet.
When you are running as much as we need to ensure that eat between practices and games, otherwise you do not feel.
Laws on your own?
- What?
Oatmeal porridge?
- Yes, actually, but it is also the only thing I do to food at home.
Boil porridge - or microwaved it?
- I used to actually cook, but lately it has become the microwave. It becomes less disk.
The choice now seems to fettucine with fresh basil and green pesto. Mineral water to it, thanks.
A waitress with red-and vitrutig kerchief on her head and smiles blush easy recognition when she received Lundqvist's order. We beat ourselves down on either window bar stool at the counter and observed the Monday slum people in New York life in the street outside.
- I remember my first year here. Every time I drove the car to match and saw the Manhattan skyline in front of me, I thought that now I'll go and play the game in Madison Square Garden. Then I thought it was, well, maybe not ridiculous, but great fun that I have reached here. Now I have taken it to an everyday level. You become a bit jaded.
And so have you moved to Manhattan.
- Yes, but every time I drive in from the training I think about how lucky I had just stuck here.
Rather than in Buffalo or Pittsburgh?
- I had probably had a totally different life.
With wife and children?
- Probably. It'll be so easy, if only for the girlfriend's sake. Here in New York there is so much to do for Therese all the time, even when I'm not at home. It is a completely different pace than in most other cities and it suits us. We have it good we have it and do not feel that it is time for the family for a while yet. But I may just have to see what it does up close now that my brother has taken that step.
Can you imagine starting a family here in New York?
- Yes, I think I am. In all cases the first five years. Since when is school and stuff you might want to move home, but it works right here with it.
It sounds as if you plan to stay here for a while?
- I have five years left on my current contract, and hope I will stay here another five years. Why not? I feel incredibly good and can not see myself changing the law. Although it is difficult to sit here and say what you think of it in five years, it feels as if I still want to play here my whole career.
Although it most likely means that you will not get to be about winning the Stanley Cup?
- I want to win! Win the games, play well, win the Stanley Cup. It's what drives me, and we may just sue and have a little float, I think we have a chance to go the whole way.
Would you sign a year for, say, Edmonton Oilers, with half the salary if it guaranteed you a Stanley Cup win?
- Halve the salary as well ... Did you have to put it? Eh, if it was the end of my career, I would do it, absolutely.
Is money so important?
- It was not so long career over here. Tell them that you can hold on for 10, 15 years, while it is normal to work in maybe 40th So it is clear that money is important.
Lundqvist takes note and we head down to the photo studio. Wearing a white shirt, light blue lammullströja, tight dark blue corduroy pants and high indigo canvasdojor he would hardly need to be styled. Barely makeup either, it turns out.
Usually see hockey with a few pros on your neck like a cross between Freddie Kreuger and ... Borje Salming. But forced to make up artist, almost a bit disappointed, to say everything that needs to be fixed on Lundqvist is a paltry small scar on the left temple.
- I have my mask on, he will excuse himself, as if he would like to have excluded some teeth and a broken nasal bone to boast.
But there's no risk. Lundqvist has still not been implicated in a single råkurr since he came over to the NHL.
- It has happened that I patched to the people, but I have never thrown the gloves.
Located at old fashioned goalie fights a time gone?
- No, but it occurs less frequently. We go around the course and not tackling each other as outfield players do, so we must not quite the same adrenaline surcharge.
But let us say that Toronto's giant Swedish Jonas 'Monster' Gustavsson would skate against you?
- Gustavsson, haha! I do not think we'll be fighting between compatriots. Then I'll prefer a Canadian.
What are you thinking when you see old black and white images of "Honken" Holmqvist without a helmet, with staring eyes, poised to save yet another resounding nature shots with boiler bacon?
- Yes, my God ... I do not get how he dared to stand without a mask! It was probably at that time claim that goalkeepers are a bit mad was born. It is in itself not compare the shots we get at us today with the future, but it does not matter, even a loose shot in the face of Satan do painful. Even with the mask on.
Do you even know you gun-shy?
- Jaaa, I remember when I was in Russia with junior and broke his jaw. I got a slap shot on one side of the mask and went to the jawbone on the other. The rest of that week, I stood on his heels a bit, I can say. I have pain somewhere after every match and every practice.
After a short deliberation, decide and make up artist Lundqvist common to tredagarsstubbet not need trimming. Frillan works fine with it. A little foundation under the eyes, the nose and the forehead is all it takes.
Inside the test cell, however, to encounter problems as soon as possible. It turns out that Henry's so-called "hockey butt will not fit in a single pair of pants that stylist borrowed to shoot.
- Did not I size 52? he asks, a little thoughtfully while he vainly tries to peddle a few gray suit pants over your thighs.
I note a bit of a joke, and quite seriously, that his knees are bent inward just like when he is in goal. He looks in the mirror as he stands in just underwear and tan MEASURED. I do not care to question him about the solformade tattoo between shoulder blades.
It all ends with the photographer decides to shoot a half-length to begin, so it works fine with Lundqvist's corduroy pants.
It is as if someone pressed a button when he is in front of the camera. He acts almost as expertly as the ice and supplies pose after pose: natural, happy, serious, dangerous, troubled, absent ...
So he is not no beginner model. Besides, he plåtats a couple of times before for Café, he appeared in both the U.S. Mens Health and GQ, he was also the Swedish clothing chain Brother's face at Christmas.
In a pause I asked him what he likes to get plates.
- It's pretty fun, you may feel in a different sector and meet some other people than you're used to.
Do you care about what you look like?
- The very appearance's impossible to do much about, it is what it is, but I care about clothes and style and how I look. The only time I go outside the door without looking me in the mirror first is when I go to workout in the morning. I am optimistic time, and likes to sleep, so I often come away at the last minute. Shall we go away to the match away directly after training, it can see some fun out, with costume hair and sprawling in all directions.
Offers you not even your poor bruised hands to a manicure at times?
- Nanana, I go to the hairdresser and cut her hair when needed. It is the only one.
A moment later the photographer stands in front of Lundqvist computer screen. He comments on a fold of his white shirt rolled up. A sensual picture of Caroline flickers past.
- Poor you, "said Lundqvist to the photographer. Another tough day at work!
After two intense hours in the photo studio, it's time to roll home. We slip into Maseratin - which is still there, neatly parked at the curb solid yellow line - and head off towards the 52nd street.
We turn into a parking garage and get out. The guard was asking him to park the car.
- Number ... 48th Or, not 48, but ... Oh, you can check it out, "said Lundqvist, smiling a bit embarrassed.
After a year in the house, Henrik Lundqvist not learned the number of its own parking.
Before we leave the car, he fishes out a bunch of wrinkled white shirts from the back seat, and we turn to the dry cleaners around the corner. When we get out on the sidewalk, he takes a few steps out into the street and pointing straight up in the sky.
- Where is my apartment, where the lights in the living room. And above the terrace overlooking the whole town will be my absolute favorite place in New York.
Parade Apartments Located in Hell's Kitchen and he bought it for over a year ago. At the top of the house, with huge terrace and two floors.
- By Swedish standards, the very expensive, "he says. But it was an okay price to be in midtown Manhattan.
In recent months the floor, however, was uninhabitable because Therese Lundqvist and implement a comprehensive renovation.
- We blow out all over the floor and a lot on the upper floor and terrace. It's a hell of projects. It took nine months just to get the drawings approved! And they discover that you did something that is not in the drawings must be done about the whole process. Therese works as an interior designer so she has been in almost everything. She has been meeting with the architect today to be informed if we can move in a few days, or two weeks ... It changes all the time, but it's apparently how it works here in New York.
Speaking of New York: What was it like to be involved in David's show?
- Oh, it was not so much. We were there, drove the "Top Ten" list, and carried the Madonna in a pair of hockey sticks.
Madonna Be Cool?
- We talked a bit and she was pretty funny actually. Or ... it was more so that she joked around with us.
Would not one's own talk show for you?
- Hmmm ... I think it's fun with radio and television. Perhaps because it is so far from what I do now, although it basically is all about entertainment in both cases.
When we are outside the giant glass-enclosed lobby of the skyscraper, a large black dog racing against Lundqvist, a curly-haired blonde in tow.
Lundqvist lit up when he gets two paws dirty in the chest. The dog is his, Nova, and the blonde is his girlfriend Therese.
Suddenly you hear a ringing tone. Lundqvist fish off her black iPhone and apologize.
- I have to take this.
After just a few sentences, he begins to tan high. He hangs up and shakes his head.
- There is a guy in the club who helped me to get tickets to the Broadway show Rock of Ages tomorrow, but I had forgotten that I'm going to Madison Square Garden and do stuff with the fans the same time. So we're gonna go on Wednesday instead, but then it is no idea so now he wants to know what to do. I drive around with him, haha. But he may resist.
This luxury apartment, one million in weekly earnings and a guy who book Broadway tickets to you ... Do you think that this dream life may actually run out tomorrow - as when you collided with the car?
- Well, you do not think so. But I realize you I have been lucky. I live the life I always dreamed of. Things can happen with one yourself, or someone in the family, and given what happened in this city eight years ago with the World Trade Center, you will realize that it applies to take the opportunity to enjoy even of his career while it lasts. The older guys on the team reminds us often that is a little young for it. For when his career is over is over, and it goes fast. I have started to feel it yourself, suddenly you are 27 years ... You have to take this opportunity to live while you can!

Bahamas.co will be a community website for people to learn about the islands of the Bahamas and plan a vacation. There will be information about the fun things to do in the Bahamas (beach, fishing, cruises, pool, food, gaming, shopping, swimming, fun)...etc. Visitors will also be see plenty of photographs of the sites in the Bahamas. This will be a fun website and will reflect the laid back atmosphere that epitomizes a vacation in the Bahamas.
The people who will be visiting this website will be interested in learning about the Bahamas. I expect most will be upscale families with younger children and possible singles looking for a fun vacation, bachelor party or honeymoon.
I would like a colorful logo (think Google-esque) using tropical colors for the font. One idea would be to have each letter have a different color. I like upscale and fun fonts.
I don't want to use the actual islands as a design element, but I would like an additional design element, although I don't want it to be cartoonish. I don't like cartoonish fonts or cheesy graphics like palm trees.
Because I am using the brand new .CO extension, I would like people to know this is .CO, so don't hide the extension.

Canadians Alexandre Gaumont Casias, Brock Davidiuk and Jeremy Wilcox retire from national team
Ottawa, Canada, November 14, 2012 – Alexandre Gaumont Casias of Marieville, Quebec, announced his retirement from the Canadian men's national volleyball team concluding a nine-year career, which included playing in the 2012 World League with the squad.
"Being on the national team was always a dream and then it became a passion," said Gaumont Casias, who played 60 matches for Canada. "I fought hard to get on that team. I didn't have the best hands but I worked hard and made it."
Casias, a leftside player, first wore the red and white during an exhibition tour in Winnipeg in 2004 against Argentina. Since that first selection in 2004, he has been a member of Team Canada up until the conclusion of the 2012 World League.
In 2003, he played at the Cegep de Sherbrooke and was selected as rookie of the year. After one year at the Cegep level, he decided to join the University of Alberta Golden Bears and was selected to the All-Canadian Rookie Team and was the Canada West Rookie of the Year.
Gaumont Casias helped Team Canada qualify for the 2010 World Championship in Italy at the 2010 NORCECA World Championship Qualification tournament in 2009.
He returned to the Canadian lineup during a European Tour in Estonia and helped the Canadian team to a first place finish at the event following a long absence that saw him miss both the 2011 Pan Am Cup and first leg of World League qualification due to injuries.
"Once you are with the national team you are hooked for life," said Gaumont Casias, who also enjoyed a successful professional career in Europe. "It was the collective effort that made it such a great experience to be on the team."'

Define Transact-SQL Job Step Options
On Azure SQL Database Managed Instance, most, but not all SQL Server Agent features are currently supported. See Azure SQL Database Managed Instance T-SQL differences from SQL Server for details.
This topic describes how to define options for Microsoft SQL Server Agent Transact-SQL job steps in SQL Server 2017 by using SQL Server Management Studio or SQL Server Management Objects.
Before You Begin
For detailed information, see Implement SQL Server Agent Security.
Using SQL Server Management Studio
To define Transact-SQL job step options
In Object Explorer, expand SQL Server Agent, expand Jobs, right-click the job you want to edit, and then click Properties.
Click the Steps page, click a job step, and then click Edit.
On the Job Step Properties dialog, confirm that the job type is Transact-SQL script (TSQL), and then select the Advanced page.
Specify an action to take if the job is successful by selecting from the On success action list.
Specify a number of retry attempts by entering a number from 0 to 9999 into the Retry attempts box.
Specify a retry interval by entering a number of minutes from 0 to 9999 into the Retry interval box.
Specify an action to take if the job fails by choosing from the On failure action list.
If the job is a Transact-SQL script, you can choose from the following options:
Enter the name of an Output file. By default the file is overwritten each time the job step executes. If you do not want the output file overwritten, check Append output to existing file. This option is only available to members of the sysadmin fixed server role. Note that SQL Server Management Studio does not allow users to view arbitrary files on the file system, so you cannot use Management Studio to view job step logs that are written to the file system.
Check Log to table if you want to log the job step to a database table. By default the table contents are overwritten each time the job step executes. If you do not want the table contents overwritten, check Append output to existing entry in table. After the job step executes, you can view the contents of this table by clicking View.
Check Include step output in history if you want the output included in the step's history. Output will only be shown if there were no errors. Also, output may be truncated.
If you are a member of the sysadmin fixed server role and you want to run this job step as a different SQL login, select the SQL login from the Run as user list.
Using SQL Server Management Objects
To define Transact-SQL job step options
Use the JobStep class by using a programming language that you choose, such as Visual Basic, Visual C#, or PowerShell.

WASHINGTON — Five former Blackwater Worldwide security guards pleaded not guilty Tuesday to U.S. manslaughter and gun charges resulting from a 2007 shooting in a crowded Baghdad square that killed 17 Iraqi civilians and injured dozens of others.
The five — all decorated military veterans — stood silently in a line behind their lawyers as their not-guilty pleas on all charges was entered in front of U.S. District Judge Ricardo M. Urbina in federal court.
They are charged with 14 counts of manslaughter, 20 counts of attempted manslaughter and one count of using a machine gun to commit a crime of violence. The machine gun charge, typically used in drug cases, carries a 30-year minimum prison sentence.
Saying the case was complex, Urbina set a February 1, 2010 hearing date for former Marines Donald Ball, Dustin Heard and Evan Liberty; and Army veterans Nick Slatten and Paul Slough.
The Iraqi government has labeled the guards "criminals" and is closely watching the Blackwater case. The shooting strained diplomacy between Washington and Baghdad and fueled the anti-American insurgency in Iraq, where many Iraqis saw the bloodshed in Nisoor Square as a demonstration of American brutality and arrogance.
The shooting took place around noon on Sept. 16, 2007, in a crowded square where prosecutors said civilians were running errands, getting lunch and otherwise going about their lives.
Prosecutors: gruesome attack
Prosecutors said the men unleashed a gruesome attack on unarmed Iraqis, with the slain including young children, women, people fleeing in cars and a man whose arms were raised in surrender as he was shot in the chest.
Twenty others were wounded in the crowded square, including one injured by a grenade launched into a nearby girls' school. Another 18 Iraqis were assaulted but not wounded, prosecutors said.
Iraqi witnesses said the contractors opened fire unprovoked and left the square littered with blown-out cars.
"This is a straightforward shooting of a lot of people," Assistant U.S. Attorney Kenneth C. Kohl said.
But the Blackwater guards contend they were ambushed by insurgents. One of the trucks in the convoy was disabled in the ensuing firefight, the guards say.
Blackwater radio logs made available to The Associated Press by a defense attorney in the case last month raised questions about prosecutors' claims that the guards' shooting was unprovoked. The log transcripts describe a hectic eight minutes in which the guards repeatedly reported incoming gunfire from insurgents and Iraqi police.
Blackwater is the largest contractor providing security in Iraq. Most of its work for the State Department is in protecting U.S. diplomats in Iraq. The company has not been charged in connection with the shooting.
The five guards, all dressed in dark suits and ties, said nothing while in the courtroom.
Guard cooperating with government
A sixth, however, is cooperating with the government. Jeremy Ridgeway of California pleaded guilty to one count each of manslaughter, attempted manslaughter, and aiding and abetting. In his plea agreement with prosecutors, Ridgeway admitted there was no threat from a white Kia sedan whose driver, a medical student, was killed and his mother, in the front passenger seat, was injured.
Urbina ordered prosecutors to give defense lawyers copies of Ridgeway's sealed plea agreement in three months.
In a separate case, another former Blackwater security contractor will soon be charged in the killing of an Iraqi guard in 2006, his lawyer said.
Andrew Moonen of Seattle, a former Army Ranger, fatally shot a 32-year-old guard for Iraqi Vice President Adil Abd-al-Mahdi while wandering around drunk after a Christmas Eve party in 2006, according to a congressional report.
Moonen, now 28, said he had been in a gunfight with Iraqis. Blackwater arranged to have the State Department fly him back to the United States, fired him and fined him, and paid the slain guard's family $15,000. His lawyer said he received a letter from prosecutors outlining their intent to charge his client, Seattle resident Andrew Moonen.
A spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney's office in Seattle, Emily Langlie, declined to comment Tuesday.

SANFORD — This weekend, seven young dancers from a Sanford dance studio will vie for an opportunity to appear on the hit television show, "America's Got Talent."
The seven members of Northern Explosion Dance Studio's All-Star Team will leave Maine after school Thursday and travel to New York City with their dance instructors to audition for the show on Friday. The popular program airs on NBC and features such celebrities as Howard Stern, Howie Mandel and Sharon Osbourne as judges.
The dancers learned about the opportunity a week ago when instructor and dance studio owner Heather Torno-Roux received an email request for cloggers — specifically northern-style cloggers — to audition for "America's Got Talent."
"It's an opportunity of a lifetime," said Torno-Roux. "We're on cloud nine."
Northern Explosion's All-Star Team is made up of seven dancers who made a commitment in September to take their interest in clogging to a more serious level. Members of the team are: Tori Boissonneault, Courtney Camire and Alex Smith, all of whom are students at Sanford High School, and Kaylee Balcewicz, Brianna Clark, Brooke Holmes and Kayla Thompson, who are all students at Noble High School.
Although they have worked together since September, they have only had a week to learn and perfect the dance they will perform for the Feb. 1 audition.
The routine for the audition was choreographed by dance instructors Monique Martineau and Heather Torno-Roux and combines two very different musical styles, a traditional American country song and a hip-hop song. The dancers say the 90-second routine also combines the different dance styles of their two instructors.
Clogging is similar to Irish step dancing and is apparently more popular in the southern part of the country, according to the dancers. During an interview on Tuesday evening, they described the type of clogging they do — northern style — as more modern than the traditional southern style. They say they incorporate more upper body movement and even some hip-hop style moves in their dancing than traditional southern cloggers.
The excitement level was high Tuesday evening as the dancers arrived at Northern Explosion's new studio on Alfred Road in Sanford for an 8 p.m. class followed by a rehearsal at 9 p.m. They arrived with blankets, pillows and backpacks, prepared to spend the night at the studio and get up at 5 a.m. to travel to Portland for a live performance on the morning television show, "Good Day Maine."
The dancers started working on their audition routine the day Torno-Roux received the invitation and have had two-hour practice sessions every night since.
The audition is scheduled for Friday, but the dancers don't know how many times they'll have to perform their routine.
"There may be sets of auditions for different people ... producers," said dancer Kaylee Balcewicz.
They plan to stay in New York until Sunday and do some sightseeing and shopping after the pressure of the audition is behind them.
Auditions run through the end of February, they said, so if they make the cut they'll get a call. If they don't make it, one dancer said at least they will have tried their best.
"I'll cry," said Kayla Thompson, then added, "I'll probably cry either way."

Project Nova Walkthrough
Head into the first section of the Nazi base, and don't be afraid to shoot the head of friendly soldiers if they have that scoped Mosin-Nagant you need. The preset Nazi weapons are limited to the basic MP40, STG43/44, and Panzershrek -- none of which have the zoom level you need.
Check out some of the dead bodies on the ground. Some of the initial Russian casualties may have a Mosin-Nagant with a scope. A handy attachment for sniping later. Keep the PPSh-41 for now, but you can also swap it for either the STG-43/44 or the ever popular MP40.
Project Nova - Intel 1 In the building where Reznov or Dmitri says: "He's not here! He must be closer to the ship!" there is a black and white map of North America on the wall. The tape player is on the table near this map.
Proceed towards your objective and take down enemies as you see them. It should be noted that surrendering in big battles was a rare occurence; as the official records go, there were no prisoners encountered.
Head deeper into the camp[edit]
Let Dmitri take the lead on the attacks in narrow buildings. If he can at least get enemies firing on him, you can pop out and shoot at the distracted enemy.
The second stretch of the camp is more heavily defended. Nazi soldiers will have emplaced turrets on the walkway, but Reznov will have smoke grenades to mark targets for mortars. Use mortars to suppress one side of the avenue while you focus and attack the other.
Project Nova - Intel 2 Past the base's first exterior walkway, you will enter a hangar with a single V2 missile on a cradle. This hangar has a tape player in its office.
The walkway has a Panzershrek soldier and a turret, so you can either snipe the hostiles, or attempt to toss a smoke grenade and mark the ground for mortars. The artillery should wreck the entire structure.
The second walkway is indestructible since you need to cross over its top to reach Steiner's office. Head out of the V2 hangar and get up to the second exterior walkway. Steiner is at the end of the walkway. Enter the office and you will be warped to the next zone.
Enter the ship[edit]
If you need a guide for this part, please sell your game. kthxbai
Escape the ship[edit]
You will start with the PPSh-41 and some ammunition, but the British commandoes will have the Sten Gun Mk.2. Take out the enemies before you place an explosive on the gas cannister. Once the bomb is activated, you have 3 minutes to escape.
Heading in, you can see a V2 angled skywards on your right. This is the missile that you shoot at to create a ramp when you escape. Be sure to place the bomb first, or the strut will not be made vulnerable. Once on the deck, it's a race to the winch. Hope you make it.
Bonus Task - Light Foot After setting the charges, escape the ship with 2 minutes 15 seconds left on the timer. You must do this on Veteran difficulty. The timer doesn't start until you set the explosive charge, so until that occurs, you can thin out or destroy all the enemies before setting the charge. Once that occurs, you need to shoot the strut, and run. It would be very helpful to have both the PPSh-41 and a British Sten Gun Mk.2. When one of the magazine's runs out, switch to the other rather than reloading, and keep heading for the cargo winch. Note that the timer stops when you use the winch.
The only way to create the escape route is to place a bomb -- once that occurs, one of your allies will point out a support spar that can be shot to create a ramp leading to the deck. From there, you locate the cargo winch that leads from the deck down to the ice. Easy ... if it weren't timed and on Veteran.
Project Nova - Intel 3 There is a tape player on the ship's exterior before you escape. As you head towards the escape point, stick to the edge of the ship. You, as Reznov, will encounter a short flight of stairs to the escape winch on the forecastle (or the poop deck -- it could be either the bow or stern you are running to). The player is half-frozen in the ice on the deck. Be sure to claim it before leaving.
Using the winch won't be enough to escape the ship. Be sure to run forward some more after dropping off the ship, or the breaking ice may kill your careless ass.

Subscribe To Alien Isolation Announced For PC And Consoles Updates
I've already subscribed
Update: Well, that didn't take long. Sega has officially announced Alien Isolation for Xbox One, PS4, PS3, Xbox 360, and PC. The first trailer is below.
Original article: Alien Isolation popped up on the Xbox Marketplace today. The listing for Creative Assembly's survival horror game includes the Xbox 360 box art along with several details and images.
The summary on Xbox.com (via NeoGAF) confirms previous reports that the game stars Amanda Ripley, daughter of Sigourney Weaver's character in the Alien film series:
"Discover the true meaning of fear in Alien: Isolation, a survival horror set in an atmosphere of constant dread and mortal danger. Fifteen years after the events of Alien, Ellen Ripley's daughter, Amanda enters a desperate battle for survival, on a mission to unravel the truth behind her mother's disappearance. As Amanda, you will navigate through an increasingly volatile world as you find yourself confronted on all sides by a panicked, desperate population and an unpredictable, ruthless Alien."
Isolation sounds like the first Alien film or, to use a game comparison, System Shock 2. Amanda isn't a heavily-armed commando. The only gear she has is whatever she can scavenge from her environment. The Xbox Marketplace listing says that she's going to have to "improvise" and "use her wits" to survive.
Xbox Marketplace also mentions that the game will have DLC ("content downloads") and leaderboards. The latter surprises me. Survival horror doesn't seem like a genre that lends itself to high scores. That could be an indication that Isolation has a side mode of some kind, like BioShock Infinite's combat challenges.
It's interesting that the box art displayed is for Xbox 360. All we've heard about Isolation so far is that it's a next-gen title. I guess Sega wants to hedge their bets and release the game on current-gen consoles as well. A cross-gen launch seems fitting for a franchise as large as Alien.
While today's leak doesn't provide a lot of new information or assets if you've been following the coverage on this game, it does provide confirmation on the previous reports. The fact that Microsoft has a listing ready to go also suggests that Sega could formally announce the game real soon. Thus far, they've been unwilling to say anything about Creative Assembly's project.

Dame Anne Salmond is one of New Zealand's most respected public anthropologists and historians. No one has so effectively and lucidly crossed over between the two disciplines in New Zealand scholarship.
After the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi/Te Tiriti o Waitangi on 6 February 1840, competing British and Maori sovereignties were established in New Zealand due to the contradictory English and Maori translations of the agreement.
On the face of it Rebe Taylor's Into the Heart of Tasmania is an intriguing, but essentially straight forward history of one of the many curious connections that define Britain's imperial and post imperial history.
The World, the Flesh and the Devil: the Life and Opinions of Samuel Marsden in England and the Antipodes, 1765-1838 / Andrew Sharp
Samuel Marsden was a Yorkshireman of humble origins (as his detractors liked to point out). After a brief spell at Cambridge, in 1793 he was appointed the second official Anglican chaplain in the recently established convict colony of New South Wales. In 1814, he took the Gospel to New Zealand.
Settler Society in the Australian Colonies: Self-Government and Imperial Culture / Angela Woollacott
Angela Woollacott's new book is a good example of the ways in which Australian historians are being influenced by recent approaches to British imperial history. Just as importantly it shows how the interests of scholars working in these hitherto largely separate fields have converged.
Posted up on my fridge door is one of those certificates with which any parent of primary school aged children over the past decade or so would be familiar – accessorised with stars and stickers and smiley faces, the award acknowledges one of the kids for their 'Awesome Effort for Remaining Open to Continuous Learning'.
The title of this book, Antarctica: a Biography, might cause some initial confusion but this is rectified by the publisher's puff on the front inside flap of the dust jacket where it is described as 'the first major international history of this forbidding continent'.
Controversies over nuclear issues are no strangers to New Zealand. To some this is a surprise. Often regarded in the northern hemisphere as a country both remote and insular (one of 'eternal Sundays' as playwright Alan Bennett has written), it is a locality that at times jolts with a seismic unpredictability.
Military men, as histories of the Royal Navy in particular have shown, tend to be interested in controlling sanitary conditions. Among seamen, maintaining health was always essential otherwise ships could not remain at sea. The main theme of Dr. Katherine Foxhall's interesting book is voyages to Australia.
Tracing the path of an Australian Aboriginal political activist through four decades of early 20th–century Europe must surely have been a challenging and often surprising task.

A Very Serious Post
With all the serious things happening in the world right now, I want to write a serious post. President Obama's jobs speech, the first Republican debate with Rick Perry, the continuing hunt for Gaddafi in Libya. Somebody turned the world up to 11 and I want to talk about it.
Then this happened:
As I sat down to write this Serious Post, I saw the following headline from SI.com: Dykstra pleads not guilty to indecent exposure. Seriously, how am I supposed to write something meaningful after reading a headline like that? This is the guy who seemingly developed some sort of idiot-savant investment system which unsurprisingly turned out to be less savant and more idiot. He somehow managed to follow that up with stealing a car, holding illegal substances and now indecent exposure.
I want you to think about this for a second, though. Over the course of two years, Lenny Dykstra placed multiple ads on CraigsList for domestic help and when these women responded and came by for an interview, he introduced them to Lenny Jr. instead. Lenny Dykstra. Sure, he's a wild and crazy guy but I figured that meant he got really drunk at clubs and then brought home some girl half his age. This pants-dropping business sounds more like Arnold Schwarzenegger's most recent blockbuster, Revenge of the Wildebeest.
I still have one other question. How do you plead not guilty to multiple instances of indecent exposure? It's not like this is a one time, he said/she said sort of thing. You brought multiple women to your home under false pretenses and then dropped trou. That's staggering. I don't think a jury is going to buy your excuses.
I'm sorry. This really was supposed to be a serious post. But you ruined that for me Lenny Dykstra. You ruined that.

Police have warned farmers to ensure thay keep their animals secure and safe after several were found loose on the Sussex roads this week.
Top of the list were around 60 sheep, followed by 11 cows, two of which were hit by a vehicle.
A police spokesperson said: "Are you aware that you are legally responsible for the cost of any damage caused by loose animals on the public highways to third party property?
"Please keep on checking your roadside hedges, fences and gates at least once every day and twice for preference."
The spokesperson added that this applies more now following the recent heavy which may have loosened fence posts.

FAQ's: Eligibility, Sponsorship and Pageant Weekend 101
Initial Questions and Requirements
What are the requirements for entering the pageant?
If you are single (never married), never given birth to or have adopted a child, a United States citizen, a resident of the state of Pennsylvania, and you are at least 14 but under 28 as of January 1, 2020, you are eligible to apply to become a contestant.
Do I need to have pageant experience to compete in a Miss USA or Miss Teen USA pageant?
On the contrary! Quite often our competitors are the "girls next door" with little or no pageant experience. Almost on an annual basis we have young women winning who have never competed with us before.
Do I have to win a preliminary pageant to compete?
No, you do not need to win a preliminary title or have previous pageant experience to participate.
Is there a talent portion of the competition?
There is no performing talent competition. There are three equally scored categories including: Interview, Activewear for Miss Teen USA, Swimsuit for Miss USA, & Evening Gown.
Am I too old or young to win the pageant?
Never at any time are the judges directed to consider age when choosing a state winner. Age is only a factor in determining which division you will compete.
Are there any height or weight requirements to enter the pageant?
Absolutely not! Whether you're 4 feet tall or 7 feet tall, it doesn't matter. In the swimsuit portion of the competition, the judges will be looking for physical fitness, which includes a healthy and fit body. There is usually a wide range of body styles and types in our semifinalists each year. We are looking for outgoing, intelligent and confident young women who are excited to represent the state.
What are you looking for in your winner?
We are looking for an outstanding person that will represent the state here at home, as well as at the national MISS USA® Pageant and Miss Teen USA Pageant®.
What happens after I submit my biography?
Once your form is submitted, our review committee will determine if they feel you would make a good candidate for the title. If you are accepted to participate in the pageant, you will be contacted by email.
Is there an entry fee and if so, how much is it?
There is a total sponsorship fee of $1,195.00 which covers your participation, room and meals during pageant weekend. It also covers the marketing and production of the event, as well as a year-round staff to prepare the winner for her further competitions and reign. If accepted, you will receive paperwork packed with ideas and suggestions to help secure sponsorship.
What are the prizes and scholarship monies should I win?
Scholarship and prize money, as well as other prizes and awards, differ from year to year according to sponsors that are participating in this year's event. For a look at last year's prize package go to the respective prize page on this site.
How many contestants compete in the state pageants?
The number of contestants varies from year to year. Some years there may be more Teen USA contestants than Miss USA contestants and other years, that number is reversed.
How do I get to the pageant site and what are my responsibilities once I am there? What are the expenses incurred by my supporters and me once we arrive?
You are responsible for your own transportation to and from the state pageant location. Once there, your meals and lodging are taken care of by the pageant (per the pageant guidelines and schedule). Any incidentals you should incur (additional food from room service, phone calls, gift shop items, etc.) are your responsibility. Parents and friends are responsible for their own rooms and meals. Parents and friends are not permitted in your hotel room, nor are they allowed to attend meal functions with the contestants. Each contestant will share a room with another contestant. To keep the weekend organized, on schedule, and enjoyable for all participants, we have elected to limit the persons allowed in the contestant rooms. This way, one contestant doesn't innocently dominate the room over the other by having a visitor, or visitors, coming and going.
Admission to the shows is by ticket only. You as a contestant do not need a ticket – everyone else must have a ticket. There is no limit on the number of tickets you may purchase, and you will be able to purchase them online or at the pageant itself prior to the shows.
You will receive an official program book, along with other gifts because of your participation. Your supporters may purchase program books along with jewelry, photo packages, videotapes and other items at the official Pageant Headquarters that will be set up during the weekend.
The pageant is divided into 3 phases of competition: For Miss USA contestants, these categories are Personal interview, Swimsuit, and Evening Gown. For Miss Teen USA contestants, the categories are Personal interview, Active Wear, and Evening Gown. Each contestant is responsible for her wardrobe needs and all accessories.
What are my responsibilities should I win and how much time is involved for me and my family?
Time involved should you become a titleholder varies on your location within the state and your desire to make appearances. We make every effort to obtain appearances for titleholders but realize that your education and family are a high priority, so we do our best to accommodate school and family when arranging appearances. Again, this is on a case-by-case basis and requires much coordination and communication between the titleholder and titleholder manager, Francesca Masone Davis. Appearances will be both on a local and statewide basis and may include parades, style shows, speaking engagements and/or trade shows.
Transportation for Miss Indiana USA to and from the National Pageant are taken care of as part of her prize package. A stipend is provided for Miss Indiana Teen USA's transportation to and from the MISS TEEN USA® Pageant. Also, some wardrobe and other expenses are provided for both titleholders. Transportation and expenses for parents to and from the national pageant are their own responsibility.
We understand your concerns as to the time involved, and do everything possible to accommodate and coordinate schedules, but there are certain responsibilities that accompany the privilege of becoming a state titleholder.
What if I have a tattoo or body piercing?
Tattoos and piercing are a statement of your individuality and to this point we have not prohibited anyone from entering the pageant because of them. Judges are not told to look upon someone negatively because of tattoos or piercing, however judging is a subjective process done by everyone differently.
Should you feel that your tattoo might be a distraction, you may want to make sure it is covered by your swimwear, gown or even body makeup. If you are uncomfortable with your piercing, you may want to make sure your wardrobe covers it. You can opt to replace it with something smaller and less noticeable or you can remove it totally for pageant weekend.
Where can I secure sponsors?
Sponsors can include, but are not limited to, your family, friends, local businesses, fraternal organizations and clubs, schools, etc. You are not limited by geographic boundaries. You may secure sponsors from anywhere in or out of the state. If accepted to compete, you will receive paperwork to help secure sponsors. Sponsorships can help defray costs for entry fee, tickets, spotlight ads, wardrobe, etc. You may have as many sponsors as you like, but you will be limited to acknowledging only 20 under your picture in the official program book. You may buy spotlight ads to highlight additional sponsors.
What if I raise more money than the required sponsorship fee?
If you raise more money than required for your entry fee, you may use the extra funds to cover any additional expenses associated with the pageant. Your overage may be used to purchase Spotlight ads in the program book, transportation or may go to purchasing your wardrobe.
What should I do if a sponsor gives me cash for a sponsorship fee?
If you receive cash contributions for your sponsorship fee, you may put that money into a money order or send a personal check. Please DO NOT send cash through the mail at any time.
Why am I asked to provide a report card/transcript?
This documentation is merely used as a proof of residency. The judges never see this. You will NOT be penalized for poor grades nor rewarded for exceptional grades at the state pageant.
If I need to check FALSE on any clause in the contract, will I automatically be disqualified?
No. Each individual case is given consideration. We do ask, however, that you quickly provide the documentation requested by the state pageant offices in order to get the approval process started.
What happens if I can't get my registration materials in before the deadlines?
Deadlines are very important to us in order to make timely program preparations. However, we realize that unexpected circumstances can arise and that the collection of sponsorship may take longer than expected. Therefore, extension on due dates may be available if needed. If you need an extension, please call 724-785-4648 or email the pageant office – email@example.com.
What type of photo should I use for my official head-shot in the program book?
Most contestants will submit a professional "head and shoulders" style photo. However, a professional photo is not necessary. Just make sure there are no distractions in the background in your photo and that you are the sole subject. A 5×7 or larger color photo at 300 dpi should be emailed (email@example.com) or mailed to the pageant office.
What are Spotlight Ads?
Many contestants have asked to purchase special advertising pages in our Official State Program Book. So, we are making up to 10 program book pages available per contestant. That is as many as 10 full-page ads or 20 half-page ads or any combination of the two. This is a terrific way for you to gain added recognition and exposure by "spotlighting" your photo more than once in our book.
As a contestant, your photo is automatically included in our regular pageant lineup. The Spotlight Pages are something extra. Many times, your family members, friends, and other supporters want to give you added visibility. The Spotlight Pages are $350.00 for a full-page camera-ready ad and $250.00 for a half-page camera-ready ad.
DO NOT CONFUSE SPOTLIGHT ADS AND SPONSORSHIP FEES. Sponsorship Fees are required. Spotlight Advertising is not. Sponsors are listed in a special location in the program book. Spotlight advertisers and supporters will appear in your Spotlight Ads. YOU MAY PAY FOR YOUR SPOTLIGHT ADS BY CHECK, MONEY ORDER, OR CREDIT CARD. You may send a camera-ready file of your Spotlight Ad or you may send a rough sketch to us showing how you want your Spotlight Page(s) arranged. If you send a sketch, it is best if you obtain a business logo or letterhead from your advertiser(s) so that our printer can reproduce your Spotlight Page(s) clearly. If you do not send camera-ready copy, you can have the program book designer design your ad for you for an additional cost of $100.00. Please note that the program book designer will use their own discretion in designing the ad and cannot be held responsible for mistakes. Remember, you can reserve up to a total of 10 pages in the program book. Your advertisers and supporters may pay for Spotlight Pages by check, money order, or credit card. PLEASE NOTE: All credit card statements will show payments made to Pageant Associates.
What are the judging criteria and wardrobe requirements for the pageant?
INTERVIEW – You will appear before the judges "panel style". The procedure will have you appearing in front of 2 panels of judges for a minimum of 2 minutes each. The judges will use this opportunity to consider your personality and overall presence. This is your chance to impress each judge with your opinions, your ability to communicate, and your overall sense of self. The judges will not be looking for rehearsed answers. They will have your Final Biography Form to use as a reference, but questions may be asked on any topic.
The most important thing to remember about the Personality Interview Competition is that it is ALL about your PERSONALITY! When it comes to deciding what you will wear for this competition, allow your personality to influence your decision. Teen USA contestants are urged to wear whatever they feel is appropriate for an interview, with this thought; have fun with it while presenting yourself in a confident manner (no jeans). USA contestants are urged to be more sophisticated with your wardrobe choices.
SWIMSUIT FOR MISS USA CONTESTANTS – Miss USA contestants may choose either a one or two-piece swimsuit in any print, pattern, or design. Look for a style that flatters your body type. The suit must be in good taste; therefore, no thongs or Brazilian cut. Pantyhose are not permitted, but you may use leg makeup. Oils and heavy body lotions should not be used. To keep your swimsuit from riding up in the back, there are products called "Firm Grip" and "It Stays." These products can be obtained online or in pageant/dress stores. Shoes should be 3" or higher. Taupe, tan, neutral color or clear shoes are recommended. Wearing bright shoes for swimsuit competition will bring attention to your feet. We recommend choosing a quality-made competition swimsuit that will be appropriate for onstage. Pay special attention to the swimsuit lining, due to the bright stage lighting.
ACTIVEWEAR FOR MISS TEEN USA CONTESTANTS – Miss Teen USA contestants will wear an active outfit to wear in lieu of swimsuits. Active Wear tops must be form-fitting, full-length athletic tanks or crop tops (sports bras). Active Wear bottoms should be form-fitting athletic shorts, capris or leggings. No baggy pants or tennis/athletic skirts allowed. Active Wear shoes should be athletic tennis shoes that compliment your activewear outfit. Active Wear socks should be white or black ankle socks that are barely visible, if visible at all. While we understand that shoes may have logos on them, there are to be no logos, graphics, or brands on Active Wear apparel that is larger than the palm of your hand. No embellishment may be added to Active Wear tops or bottoms (sequins, rhinestones, etc.), no jewelry (other than simple stud earrings), hats or props of any kind may be worn.
EVENING GOWN – Judges focus on poise, overall appearance, and sense of fashion and style. No single detail of the gown, hair or make-up should garner attention. The overall effect should be a reflection of your personal style. You will need one evening gown. Choose your BEST color, a style that looks great on you and will show well on stage.
OPENING OUTFIT – Each Contestant will need a cocktail length dress (above the knee) or pantsuit for the opening of the Final Show on Sunday. It is to be primarily BLACK or primarily RED. The dress can have sequins, rhinestones or beading, but cannot have any other dominate colors than black or red. Select appropriate shoes that you will be able to move well in. The shoes should have at least a 3" heel. Be sure to complete this look with accessories of your choice.
Do I need a different gown for finals than I do for preliminaries?
No. We highly recommend wearing the same gown for both preliminaries and finals. Nearly all contestants wear the same gown for both.
What is the Opening Number outfit for?
At the beginning of one of the shows, each contestant will introduce herself to the audience during an upbeat, choreographed number (contestant will not sing, and the choreographed moves will be very easy – you do not need to be a dancer).
Do I need to pay for my hotel and food during pageant weekend?
No. Your hotel room and meals during the official weekend schedule are provided for you by the state pageant. If you choose to arrive the night before or stay the night after the pageant, your room for those nights would be at your own expense. If you would like extra meals, snacks, etc. you will be responsible for those costs and will not be able to charge them to your room.
How many contestants will I room with at the hotel?
Each contestant is paired with one other contestant to share each hotel room. Each room will have two beds, so each contestant will have her own bed. To be respectful to the contestant with whom you are sharing the room, only the two of you are allowed in your hotel room (no family or friends allowed at any time).
Who are the judges and where do they come from?
We are hard at work, searching the country for outstanding individuals to serve in these positions. Our judges are always from varied and exciting backgrounds and include some of pageantry's most qualified individuals. We do not ask, or allow, judges to repeat these duties any two consecutive years.
Can anyone assist me while I am competing in the pageant?
Only contestants and staff are permitted in your hotel room, in the dressing room or backstage during the pageant weekend. Each contestant will share a room with another contestant. In order to keep the weekend organized, on schedule, and enjoyable for all participants, we have elected to limit the persons allowed into the contestant rooms. This way, one contestant doesn't innocently dominate the room over the other by having a visitor, or visitors, coming and going. There will be female pageant personnel in the dressing rooms to assist you with some of your preparation for the show. You should do most of your show preparation in your hotel room, prior to your arrival at the dressing room before show time. There will be time during the weekend for you to visit with family and friends between show time and rehearsals.
Preparing for the pageant should be FUN and can be done on your own. Please note that you must be "self-sufficient" during the pageant weekend, which means that no hair stylists or makeup artists will be allowed to assist you. If you do work with professionals prior to the pageant, make sure that they prepare you to do your own hair and makeup and truly be "self-sufficient". If you have any questions regarding your preparations or just need some extra encouragements…don't hesitate to call us!
What should my family and friends wear to the pageant preliminaries and finals?
We recommend anything from business casual to formal wear for the pageant preliminaries and pageant finals.
Will I have time to visit with my family, friends, and out of town guests during pageant weekend?
Once you check in, contestants will have a packed schedule of activities, including meals, interviews, rehearsals and shows. You may also want to plan on arriving early or staying an extra day in the host city, to enjoy the experience with your guests. Time permitting, we will make every effort to include designated family meet and greet opportunities.
When will this year's contestants be posted on the pageant website?
The photos will be posted on the state pageant website approximately one week prior to the state pageant. Note: The photo you submit as your Official Head Shot, in addition to your on-stage presence during pageant weekend, is what will be used when judged for Miss Photogenic.
Will the pageant be televised?
Right now, there are no plans to televise the state pageant, however the Miss USA Pageant is usually televised, and the Miss Teen USA Pageant is usually webcast from its location.
Can we videotape the pageant?
Videotaping by members of the audience is prohibited. You will have the opportunity to purchase videotape and photo packages from our official photographers and videographers.
