The magicians of "The Prestige"
Having turned him from a semi-successful but mostly struggling British artiste – none of his films, bar his debut "Empire of the Sun" (1987) were tried-and-true hits – into a bonafide A-list superstar, Christian Bale didn't need to be threatened with a Chinese burn to rejoin his "Batman Begins" director Christopher Nolan for another film.
"Chris didn't actually come to me with this", admits Bale, who before "Batman Begins" (2005) was probably best known as the psychotic power player Patrick Bateman in 2000's "American Psycho". "I actually read the script and I called him up and said 'I want in. I like Borden. I can really nail this character.'
"The question was 'Could he see me as anything other than Bruce Wayne?' He said 'yeah go for it.' I do think he's one of the best around and I think you're in bloody good hands. It's nice to work with someone a number of times. You do get a nice little short hand between you and you can really hit the ground running much quicker. It's nice to also see that Chris was doing a ship shaping kind of thing in terms of his directing styles between the two movies.
So why did Bale think he could nail the role of master magician Alfred Borden? After all – he's about as close to Bruce Wayne as Roseanne is to Tom.
"He [Borden] just was one the I was fascinated with throughout. The fact that this relies upon secrecy not only for his livelihood, but his for his very life and the fact that he was somebody who saw this as being so vital and such value for his life and pretty much the only thing he's valued for by anybody. That it came first. It was his first love regardless of other relationships, the secrecy was paramount and his obsession is absolutely necessary to achieve the level of skill that he does. There were so many mysteries surrounding this one character that he was immediately the one I wanted to play".
Nolan has said in previous interviews that he didn't ask Bale and co-star Hugh Jackman to learn a heck of a lot of magic tricks because, as Bale agrees, "this movie, as you know, is not a movie about showing magic tricks".
"I think Chris felt that with editing you can do anything you know?" says Bale. "It's really not so impressive to watch magic tricks being performed on film. It's centered on the one particular trick that my character develops that just infuriates the hell out of my rival who cannot understand how it's done. As for the rest of it, we needed to show some of their performances, but it was more of finishing up on tricks or starting on tricks. Just giving the impressions of the magicians of this day being the top entertainers. Being the top pull. I like this very much. It's kind of a take on the story that Chris changed somewhat from the book The Prestige [by Christopher Priest]. This great kind of fascination and so much mystery about science itself. Obviously nowadays we know everybody understands it, but at that time the likes of [magician, Nikola] Tesla appeared liked wizards. How is this done? People did not know exactly what he was doing and how he managed it at all. So there was that ability to confuse audience members as a magician. Perhaps some people did posses some kind of power beyond which the rest of us are able to call on. So they truly were magnificent performers of the time. That's an era that can never be regained you know. We've gotten beyond it now. You can't strip that knowledge away."
An underlying theme of the movie is keeping secrets from the one you love – something that Bale says he just couldn't do in real life.
"Not secrets in the way that he has secrets", the actor, married for six years to Sibi Blasic, says. "His particular circumstances really meant that he had to hold onto those secrets [though]. I agree with not giving everything away and keeping something for yourself, but you shouldn't keep secrets from your family".
Bale says he does have one thing in common with his character though, and that's how obsessive he is about his work.
The actor, who dropped a staggering 63 pounds to play the lead role in "The Machinist" in 2004, says "I think that you know I get obsessive, but over shorter terms you know", adding "Obviously a movie lasts a few months and then you're done with it. With him [Borden] it's life long of this single obsession. This one particular trick that he knows will make him immortal. So I have an obsession, but it's a different kind of obsession. It's more kind of short-term obsessions.
"One of the best things to me about this job is the level of commitment that you have to put into it", says Bale, reasoning his obsessive reputation. "It ain't going to work at all otherwise. I enjoy the obsession. My family, my wife and my little girl get that. They understand it, and enjoy it too"
Next up, Bale will return to the Cave to play Bruce Wayne/Batman again. He's locked in for a couple of films there; but says he isn't afraid of being typecast as the Caped Crusader.
"If it turns out that I'm doing just different variations of Bruce Wayne for the rest of my life then who'd want to hire me for anything?", says Bale, who won the much coveted-role of Batman over the likes of. "Because we were referring many of the graphic novels [rather than the TV series or earlier films], he [Batman] is less of a character here. I watch it and believe that he's a real character in this sort-of ridiculous animated personality. Because of that, I think I was able to stay under the radar a little more".
Bale hasn't seen the script for the sequel, "The Dark Knight", yet but says he's confident Nolan has something just as amazing as the first film in store.
"I've spoken to Chris about it. I haven't read anything yet. I trust him completely. I'm sure he's been coming up with something improved upon our first one. We also have the knowledge that everyone has the confidence in what we're trying to do now because the first one worked. People embraced it. Beyond that, Chris is just a real solid foundation. You don't worry too much if he's going to come up with the goods. He is. He's one of the best around. I've got totally trust in him and I have no problem reading the script a week before we start. I'm actually pretty confident. I mean look, of course, I'd love to be able to talk with you more and we will about the actual character and where we can take that and where we want to take him. But, beyond that I enjoy this kind of air of secrecy about it and I don't mind not being in right there in the inner circle until Chris decides ok you need to be there now".
Of course playing Batman again means Bale's going to have to hit the gym again soon.
"Oh man, don't remind me of that", he smirks.
Having worked pretty much non-stop for the last few years, Australian superstar Hugh Jackman thought he'd be a prime poster-boy for the workhorse recruitment campaign – until he read the breakdown for the character Chris Nolan wanted him to play in the new film, "The Prestige".
In the film, Jackman and Christian Bale play workaholic magicians, Rupert and Alfred, who are constantly trying to one-up each other in the magic stakes.
Jackman, hot off his role in FOX's fruitful "X-Men: The Last Stand", was excited about working with director Christopher Nolan ("Batman Begins", "Memento") – who he says was one of the top 5 directors that he wanted to work with – but more so, playing a character that's the chalk to his cheese.
"My wife [actress Debra Lee-Furness] sometimes jokes that she thinks I'm a little bit of a workaholic, but my definition of a workaholic is someone who can't switch it off", explains the versatile actor. "I can easily switch it off. When I get into the car after work, I don't think about it. I work hard and I really enjoy it — I've always loved acting — but I can switch it off".
His character in "The Prestige", on the other hand, that of the ambitious Rupert, can't switch off.
"Magicians then were like movie stars or rock stars of the day", says Jackman, who cut his teeth on stage in Australia before finding film fame in the states. "The pressure on them to be at the top was so intense. They would do almost anything to stay there".
The one thing the 38-year-old actor does share in common with his character – and his character's trade – is their ability to assertively Mann a stage.
"My character elevates himself as a magician by his natural ability on stage, and I've had a lot of experience on stage, so that's something that comes easily to me".
In the film, Jackman's character is the go-getting but sanguine magician, while co-star Christian Bale gives life to the master – someone with seemingly a couple more tricks up his sleeve than his adversary.
"The character, at the beginning of the film, is fairly optimistic. He's ambitious, yes, but also optimistic. He enjoys his life and is excited by the possibilities. There's a tragedy that happens early on, in his personal life, and then, somehow, he's fueled by this ambition and the anger over what happened, and it turns him into being much darker, more intense and, ultimately, very dangerous person. I wouldn't say that's me, but I think the transformation was a lot of fun for me to play. In terms of the character at the beginning of the film, it's fairly similar to me, I think".
Jackman says a film like this (one which he says, he read the script of "just loved it. I was kind of shocked at how amazingly close the original script I read was to the film that ended up being made") needs an actor's out-and-out everything to work – so he did quite a bit of research into the role before pulling his first rabbit out of a hat.
"I met a lot of magicians. I saw a lot of acts. I read a lot. I was actually reading about Houdini, just coincidentally, when the script came. I was interested in that era. It's a fascinating time, where magic was believed. In America, at that time, spiritualism was a greater religion than Christianity, so magicians who could do séances and things were beyond just tricksters. They were, somehow, medians with the other world. They held this fascination for adults. I don't think that exists anymore. Maybe the mind-reading stuff that some magicians do still amazes people, but more people know it's a trick and they just can't work it out. But, that era is fascinating."
Jackman remains tight-lipped on the film's big twist, but does say that his character has dual identities.
"Let's just say my character has a number of disguises", the actor, who recently completed work on the sci-fi thriller "The Fountain", says. "I'm playing the double, which you can't really talk about. That was great fun. Creating that character was fun. But, the most challenging scene is the ending. Every actor wants a death scene. The joke is always that the actors want it to be as long as possible. When I read it, I was like, "I'm dying over five pages. I'm dying with five pages of dialogue, and a big monologue at the end of it." You should be careful what you wish for."
Released almost concurrently with "The Prestige" is Dreamwork's "Flushed Away", which has seen Jackman live out his dream of working on an Aardman Animation ("Wallace & Gromit") film.
"I was in drama school in 1994, I turned on SBS — which is a television station in Australia, and not a highly watched one — and I saw the last seven minutes of 'The Wrong Trousers,' and my brother and I were laughing so hard that we thought, "We've got to find this." So, we tracked it down and got a video. We used to give it as presents. It was our standard present to anyone. I thought we'd discovered them. I think they'd won an Academy Award at that point, but when I was in Perth, I thought we'd somehow discovered them. So, when I got a call from that group, I was totally in. I think it's fair to say it was selfish reasons first, and then I thought of my son afterwards", he laughs.
In "Flushed Away", Jackman lends his voice to the role of an uptown rat that gets flushed down the toilet from his penthouse apartment, ending in the sewers of London, where he has to learn a whole new and different way of life.
" At the beginning, he was more upper class, almost royal — that aristocratic attitude. He had two hamsters that were his servants. So, the whole thing, going down into the sewer, was more, "Oh, you people." It was a little bit removed and snobbish, which actually made him not very likable. And so, we changed it from being that to being more sheltered, basically. He lives in this pampered life. He doesn't think of himself as a mouse, he thinks of himself as a James Bond character. He's having the time of his life. And, he sings occasionally."
Not content with merely having two films at the box office this Summer, Jackman has a third – and the second this year in which he sings – George Miller's anticipated family feast, "Happy Feet".
"Nicole [Kidman] and I worked for a couple of days together [on it]. We play mom and dad of the lead character. It was fantastic. It was great", but "I'm very excited about doing this Baz Luhrmann film with her – To not be penguins will be nice".
The Bazz Luhrmann film, set to film in Australia next year, is a sweeping romantic epic that is being likened to some of cinema's great romantic epics.
"I'd say 'Out of Africa,' 'Gone with the Wind,' 'Lawrence of Arabia' — that kind of world", he says of the film, which was originally set to go with Russell Crowe in the lead.
After Jackman shoots the untitled romantic drama, he puts the claws back on to play the long-suffering mutant Wolverine in an "X-Men" spin-off.
"We've now signed off on the script", he says of 'Wolverine'. "If you know about the history of 'X-Men' movies, that's a revolution for us. We're a year away from shooting the film and we have the script. And, by the way, it is unbelievable. It's a David Benioff script. He's probably the hottest writer going around town, and he was beating down our door to write this movie. It was the most amazing thing. So, we have this fantastic script. I've got a couple of movies coming out in the next month, and I might be able to tell you who the director is by then. We're seriously into talking about it now."
Jackman says that because he's now producing a lot of these films he's working on (including an upcoming film called "The Tourist" with Ewan McGregor, which he says is "a suspense thriller written by Patrick Marber, and it's very smart and sexy.) he can now control "where we shoot, when we shoot and what we shoot, and that's something that is important to us. I'm very lucky, as you know. I've got a wife who, so far, has been happy to travel with me".

Serves 6-8
For Squash:
3 lb. butternut squash, halved lengthwise,
seeded (if you can't find one
3-lb squash, get two smaller squashes)
4 tbsp. brown sugar
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
kosher salt and black pepper
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
2 tbsp. butter, divided
1/2 cup water
For Filling:
1 cup water
2 cups ricotta cheese
3/4 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
For Pasta:
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1 tbsp. olive oil
2 eggs
For Sauce:
8 tbsp. butter, divided
1/3 cup chopped shallots (about 2)
1-1/2 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup apple cider
1 tablespoon minced parsley
Salt and pepper
Shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
Make Squash and Filling:
Preheat oven to 350 é F. Place squash, cut side up, in baking pan. Sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon; season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with syrup; dot with 1 tbsp. butter. Pour 1/2 cup water into bottom of pan. Bake until squash is tender, about 1 hour. Cool completely. Scoop out squash into bowl. Mash. Transfer 3/4 cup squash to a bowl (reserve remaining squash for another use). Mix in ricotta, grated Pecorino, parsley and thyme. Season with kosher salt and pepper.
Make Pasta:
While squash is baking, prepare pasta. Mix flour and salt in large bowl; make well in center. Beat oil and eggs until well blended; pour into well. Stir with fork, gradually bringing flour mixture into center, until dough forms a ball. If dough is too dry, mix in up to 2 tbsp. water. Knead on lightly floured surface, adding flour if dough is sticky, until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Cover, and let rest 5 minutes. Divide dough into 4 equal parts. Roll dough, one part at a time, into rectangle, about 12 x 10 inches (keep remaining dough covered).
Drop filling mixture by 1 level teaspoons onto half of the rectangle, about 1-1/2 inches apart. Moisten edges of dough and areas between rows of squash mixture with water. Fold other half of dough up over squash mixture, pressing dough down gently around mixture to seal. Trim edges with a sharp knife. Cut between rows of filling to make ravioli; press edges with fork to seal. Repeat with remaining dough and squash mixture. Place ravioli on towel; let stand, turning once, until dry, about 30 minutes.
Make Sauce:
Melt 2 tbsp. butter in large pan over medium heat. Add shallots; sauté 1 minute. Add stock and cider; simmer 10 minutes. Add parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Reduce sauce on low heat until reduced to 1 cup.
Working in batches, cook ravioli in pot of boiling salted water until just tender, about 1 minute. Using slotted spoon, remove ravioli to a baking sheet lined with a kitchen towel.
Heat 2 tbsp. butter in a large, nonstick skillet. When sizzling and just beginning to brown, add ravioli. Cook 5 minutes or until golden brown on one side. Flip ravioli and cook another 5 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to paper towels to drain. Repeat process with 2 more tbsp. butter and remaining ravioli.
When sauce is reduced to one cup, remove from heat and stir in 4 tbsp. butter, 1 tbsp. at a time, whisking constantly until all butter is incorporated. Place ravioli on a serving platter and scatter with shaved Parmagiano. Place sauce in a bowl in the middle of ravioli. Place toothpicks in ravioli for easy serving.
You can make the ravioli ahead of time. Place ravioli on a plastic wrap lined baking sheet in a single layer, not touching. Cover well with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Or you can freeze the ravioli on the same baking sheet. When frozen, place ravioli in a zip-top plastic bag and use however many you like. You can also serve the ravioli tossed in some of the sauce instead of using the sauce as a dipping sauce.

Nanoparticle Pills Usher Medicine Into the Future: No More Needles!
Although nanomedicine is a promising area of research, scientists have been unable to figure out a way to deliver drugs using nanoparticles other than by injection, which is both distasteful and inconvenient for patients. Now, a team of researchers from MIT and Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) have developed a new nanoparticle that can be absorbed through the digestive tract, allowing patients to take a pill instead of receiving injections.
"If you were a patient and you had a choice, there's just no question," Professor Robert Langer, of MIT's Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research, stated in a press release. "Patients would always prefer drugs they can take orally."
Like Mother's Milk?
Ultrafine particles, or nanoparticles, are between one and 100 nanometers in size. What makes nanoparticles so interesting to scientists, particularly in the field of medicine, is the fact that the physics underlying nanoparticles means that their properties are different from the properties of the bulk material. Additionally, size and surface characteristics of nanoparticles can be manipulated. Yet, nanoparticles have not yet been available as a pill because, despite their tiny size, they are unable to penetrate the intestinal lining. This is no simple feat as the lining is made of a layer of epithelial cells that join together forming impenetrable barriers known as tight junctions.
"The key challenge is how to make a nanoparticle get through this barrier of cells," Omid Farokhzad, director of the Laboratory of Nanomedicine and Biomaterials at BWH, stated in the press release. He explained how the lining is "analogous to a brick wall where the bricks are the cells and the mortar is the attachments, and nothing can penetrate that wall." To break through the barrier, he and his colleagues based their work on previous research that explained how babies are able to absorb antibodies from their mothers' milk in order to enhance their own immune defenses. Essentially, antibodies within maternal milk attach to a cell surface receptor called the FcRN, and this grants them passport through a baby's intestinal lining into adjacent blood vessels. Mimicking this mechanism, the researchers coated nanoparticles with Fc proteins — the part of the antibody that binds to the FcRN receptor. After ingestion, the protein would bind to the FcRN in the intestinal lining and gain entry, bringing the entire nanoparticle with them.
For this study, the researchers demonstrated how nanoparticle pills could deliver insulin to mice. After coating the pills with Fc proteins, the team discovered that the insulin they contained reached the bloodstream 11 times more efficiently than nanoparticle pills without the coating. Most importantly, the amount of insulin delivered was large enough to lower the mice's blood sugar levels. The team is now hoping to design nanoparticles that are able to cross other barriers, such as the blood-brain barrier, which prevents many drugs from reaching the brain. "If you can penetrate the mucosa in the intestine, maybe next you can penetrate the mucosa in the lungs, maybe the blood-brain barrier, maybe the placental barrier," Farokhzad said.

Very smooth, yet distinctive and powerful are observations we might use to describe the style of the 2013 Audi A7 and S7, but that also describes the way they drive. The A7 'wafts' up to speed in a way that most other luxury sedans in this class don't, with a near uninterrupted wave of torque coming from the engine and the transmission always up to task in delivering it smoothly. There's nothing unobtrusive or jarring about the A7, but the S7 makes some room for stronger performance and a little more driver involvement.
In following trends that hold true nearly across the entire auto industry, the A7 gets an engine that's probably smaller than what might have been installed in it a few years ago; yet it's very strong and responsive. The supercharged V-6, dubbed TFSI 3.0, makes 310 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque and can get the A7 to 60 mph in just 5.4 seconds. At 18 mpg city, 28 highway, it arguably has V-6 fuel efficiency.
The top-notch eight-speed automatic transmission—essentially the same one that's used in the Audi A8 flagship—is a willing companion. It comes with Tiptronic manual controls, so you can command shifts as you wish. But you might not ever need to do that; the A7 comes with something called Audi Drive Select, which lets you, through four different modes (auto, dynamic, comfort, or individual) control the way the transmission responds, how the steering feels (by adjusting boost), and even how responsive the throttle pedal is. That said, while the A7's tiller is nicely weighted, there's very little if any road feel or feedback through the steering wheel. Sport-sedan fans will no doubt wish for a little more edginess, but those who want a fashionable, comfortable vehicle that also has a sporty side will be delighted.
Ride quality for the 2013 A7 is on the firm side of comfortable—meaning that if you live around excessively patched, potholed roads you might find it too firm; but over tight mountain roads, urban streets, and a particularly coarse, choppy stretch of Interstate, we found the ride to be just fine--almost stoic, in situations that would have some sports cars and sports sedans working up a sweat. Yet its suspension managed to soak up both noisy surfaces and bigger jolts without ever seeming bouncy or too pillowy.
That combination of light driving feel, control, and composure is thanks, in part to the extensive use of aluminum in both the A7's structure and components; more than 20 percent of the body is made of aluminum, and the front fenders, hood, rear hatch, and doors are also made of it. Altogether, that helps the A7 weigh about 15 percent less than a comparable all-steel vehicle, according to Audi.
In either version of this sleek five-door you get the latest performance-oriented version of Audi's quattro all-wheel drive system. It normally sends 60 percent of torque to the rear wheels, but it can send more to the front or rear wheels for better traction. It's configured to help optimize cornering and grip--and it's also a good choice for all-weather traction.
Audi S7
To appeal to those more focused enthusiasts, there's the S7, which gets a 420-hp twin-turbo V-8, combined with a seven-speed S tronic transmission and steering-wheel paddle-shifters. It's capable of getting to 60 mph in less than 4.9 seconds, and it includes the adaptive air suspension, with sport tuning, special wheels, and upgraded brakes.First off, the engine. The twin-turbo eight tucks a pair of turbochargers in the valley between the cylinder banks, with an intercooler riding atop the engine. Audi says it's the most compact engine of its kind in the world--and one of the most efficient since the 420 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque also use cylinder-deactivation technology to shut off a bank of cylinders under light engine loads. The net is 17/27-mpg gas mileage--and a 0-60 mph time of 4.5 seconds, and a top speed of 155 mph. It's a torrid piece under the gun, with immediate and brisk acceleration, and it's a bit indecisive when pulling away from a stop--the coordination of stop/start, a many-geared dual-clutch transmission and a percolating pair of turbos catches the S7 in a stumble every so often.
There's a seven-speed, dual-clutch transmission to work over via steering-wheel paddles on the S7. Its flavor of quattro comes standard with a sport differential that locks up more frequently for better power control, while the S7 also gets its own air suspension with variable ride height and distinctive tuning for Drive Select.
The S7 is one application where Drive Select works well enough for us. The three settings give it a wide range of driving personalities--and in Dynamic mode, the suspension height is lowered, and the steering and throttle and transmission respond more quickly. Flick a paddle and the gearbox answers almost immediately, while the throttle picks up without getting overzealous. The S7 tucks into corners with a lighter feel than its 4000-pounds-plus curb weight might predict, and even if it's not a true sportscar and has enough understeer cushion to go around, it's a brilliant road car with multiple and complementary driving modes.
Comfort mode's better for a relaxed interstate cruise, of course, and Auto mode lets the car choose the setting of the now. You can really tweak Drive Select into unhappy settings via the Custom mode. We'd set to Comfort for regular use, and snick into Sport when the right window in traffic appears.

Harmon Killebrew Signed Baseball Bat
This bat was given to my dad from Harmon Killebrew. They were really good friends. After he hit his 505th home run, he broke it and it cracked, and so he gave it to my dad. He signed it, and then in '84, when he was inducted into the Hall of Fame, he came back and he resigned and put the "Hall of Fame '84" on it for my dad.
And Harmon Killebrew is the most famous athlete to come out of Idaho.
Oh, yeah.
Which, of course, he finished 11th all time on the home run list at 574 home runs lifetime.
Yeah, that's right.
The records that I looked at for his home run timeline would put this bat perhaps 1971. It's very rare to get a game-used bat that actually has documented home runs that were batted with it. This bat at auction would sell for between $4,000 and $6,000.
Wow! (laughs) That's interesting.
Appraisal Details
Executive producer Marsha Bemko shares her tips for getting the most out of ANTIQUES ROADSHOW.
Value can change: The value of an item is dependent upon many things, including the condition of the object itself, trends in the market for that kind of object, and the location where the item will be sold. These are just some of the reasons why the answer to the question "What's it worth?" is so often "It depends."
Note the date: Take note of the date the appraisal was recorded. This information appears in the upper left corner of the page, with the label "Appraised On." Values change over time according to market forces, so the current value of the item could be higher, lower, or the same as when our expert first appraised it.
Context is key: Listen carefully. Most of our experts will give appraisal values in context. For example, you'll often hear them say what an item is worth "at auction," or "retail," or "for insurance purposes" (replacement value). Retail prices are different from wholesale prices. Often an auctioneer will talk about what she knows best: the auction market. A shop owner will usually talk about what he knows best: the retail price he'd place on the object in his shop. And though there are no hard and fast rules, an object's auction price can often be half its retail value; yet for other objects, an auction price could be higher than retail. As a rule, however, retail and insurance/replacement values are about the same.
Verbal approximations: The values given by the experts on ANTIQUES ROADSHOW are considered "verbal approximations of value." Technically, an "appraisal" is a legal document, generally for insurance purposes, written by a qualified expert and paid for by the owner of the item. An appraisal usually involves an extensive amount of research to establish authenticity, provenance, composition, method of construction, and other important attributes of a particular object.
Opinion of value: As with all appraisals, the verbal approximations of value given at ROADSHOW events are our experts' opinions formed from their knowledge of antiques and collectibles, market trends, and other factors. Although our valuations are based on research and experience, opinions can, and sometimes do, vary among experts.
Appraiser affiliations: Finally, the affiliation of the appraiser may have changed since the appraisal was recorded. To see current contact information for an appraiser in the ROADSHOW Archive, click on the link below the appraiser's picture. Our Appraiser Index also contains a complete list of active ROADSHOW appraisers and their contact details and biographies.

I signed an RCI Cruise and Resort Vacations contract and now I am wishing I never come in contact with it. Be careful, this is an "iron clad contract that you cannot get out of, no matter how disappointed you are in the "products" they are providing.
I was disappointed that cruise upgrades which I was told would be available for free are pretty expensive for the cruises in which I am interested. The hotel option in lieu of the resort part of the vacation is not available outside of the US. The resorts in the US and the very few in Europe are either their lower classes of resorts or way off the beaten path. If you want a resort in Mexico, then the options are pretty good. Of course, you may not feel too safe in Mexico these days, so there is plenty of availability there.
In my attempts to communicate with RCI, my minimum wait time on the phone has been 20 minutes with 30 to 40 minutes being the case on a couple of occasions. Sometimes, as they switched me between departments, the wait cycle would begin all over again. One time after having one of their people leave a message for someone to call me back, the return call never came.
I called RCI to get out of the contract. I was told that after the 10 day rescission period, there is no way out. I was told that I do have not have any legal recourse. I offered to buy my way out of the contract by paying a cancellation fee, still no way. Satisfying a customer does not appear to be one of the corporate tenents of RCI.

I wasted my money buying an RCI WEEKS timeshare. It is a big waste and I regret it! We also have to pay an exchange fee. Please do not buy a time share. It is not worth it at all!!!0 0 Reply

DO NOT PURCHASE THIS CRUISE/RESORT PACKAGE!!! I wish I had not. The package adds up to approx. $2000 plus cruise port fees and taxes. You may even have to pay for upgrades. THIS IS WHAT THEY DON'T TELL YOU WHEN THEY ARE SELLING YOU THIS PIECE OF JUNK. Oh, I was told by the representative after complaining that the expiration date is actually a book by date and to book the resort six months out because that is when there are more inventory available but book the cruise 12-18 months out. NICE AND CONFUSING! THIS PACKAGE IS A RIP-OFF AND YOU WILL BE BETTER OFF FINDING YOUR OWN DEALS. I will be writing the president and sending the information to a couple of news stations.0 0 Reply

My comments pretty much agree with most of the others. This deal sounded too good to be true so I will just add a few new ideas that explain why it isn't a good deal. First of all you won't save any money because of the hidden costs including something I think they label as "NCCF" which are supposedly port fees. I just booked my second cruise through the RCI Cruise and Resort Vacation package with Royal Carribean. I double checked the costs on the Royal Carribean website for the exact same package and only saved $475 which for the cost of the RCI package does not recoup the cost of the RCI package. Royal Carribean does not add this $200 per person fee which without that price would make the RCI package fair.
Being under time constraints to complete the package (we had to book before our expiration date or lose the remaining cruise) plus no appreciable savings makes this a bad deal.
Finally the salesman who promised us the world and that he would be there to take care of is apparently no longer with the company because he is never there when we try his extension. I think the time share salespeople who are run off because of their shady dealings end up here for a short time.
Bottom Line....DO NOT BUY THIS PACKAGE
Jun 27, 2013 Los Angeles, California, United States
This by far has been the most horrible purchase I've ever made!! I will never purchase anything like this again.. My advice to anyone interested in purchasing this " You are better off charging your card for the full amount of a cruise and/or any resort stay!!"
May 22, 2013 Lawrence Township, New Jersey, United States
I wish I found these comments before I bought into the RCI cruise scam! I trusted them and I Got Burnt BIG TIME!
I wasted my money. I could have purchased any cruise for much less thru my travel agent of thru the cruise line. RCI is are making money by marking up cruises.
Feb 03, 2013
Do not -repeat- DO NOT sign up for one of RCI's great deals for a cruise and resort vacation for under $2000.00. By the time you add in the port fees and taxes on the cruise and the all inclusive fees on the resort vacation you are paying the same as if you had booked a vacation on your own. There is NO savings. And you end up going somewhere you did not want to go to because their available "inventory" is not at all what they claim it to be. You are extremely limited. Remember: if it is too good to be true it probably isn't.0 0 Reply

I am a very disappointed customer. The only way this package has value is if you are very flexible and willing to take lower level cruises in bad staterooms. This is a liquidation program. The cruises and condo properties are undesirable places in undesirable locations. It is essential that you upgrade to get anything decent. This program is misrepresented and a very poor investment.0 0 Reply

Interesting... I purchased 2 packages and I was on the contrary, I was very pleased. I dont know about anyone else but I was promised exactly what I received. Also I loved the flexibility that the package offered and it afforded me to take my kids on a cruise, It was very affordable and with e-z payment lay away plan.
I cruised with Royal Caribbean which is my favorite cruiseline although I did cruise on Princess with my first package earlier this year.

WOW, I am really disappointed that I trusted RCI to be an upfront company. Am surprise a BIG hotel like the one in LV is connected to such a shady company. I guess we are out a ton of money for what we thought we were buying. I wished I could see some positive reviews. Boy did I get taken in.. What an EXPENSIVE lesson.. Guess I won't be recommending this to any of our friends. Bummer--Wished I hadn't been such a believer in people. guess I should have know we'd get taken to the cleaners in LV.. just didn't think it would have been this way.0 0 Reply

I am a 15 year RCI member dealing with my timeshare. When approached about the resort and cruise vacation package, I dodged the bullet when I asked to get something in writing prior to committing. They were unable to provide that and subsequently suggested I look at their website with them. When I told them I wanted to look before buying and would get back to them. they said the would try me again next year. Lucked out.0 0 Reply

We purchase this RCI Cruise and Resort package and were extremely disappointed that the salesperson misrepresented what we would get. He led us to believe we would get two cruises and a week at any resort and kept saying "you can get whatever is available". I kept asking questions, and he kept beating around the bush with his evasive answers.
But when we received the package, we found out that not much was available. Once we got our package and certificates and did a little searching, we were quite surprised to see mostly off-season cruises, ships with lower star ratings (3 and 3-1/2) than we would ever choose, and the very high surcharges for any cabin other than an inside cabin. And they never did say how much the processing fees were.
The confirmer who came on the phone after the sales rep rattled off a mile a minute all the package details--so fast it was hard to figure out what he was saying, and when I told him that what I thought he was saying was not what I was led to believe, he just kept saying "What I'm telling you is the MINIMUM you will get. When you get your package, you can call your sales rep and he will answer any questions you have." In other words, you can ask your questions after we get your money. He was really beating around the bush rather than telling us that you only get 2 cruises if they are 3-5 day cruises. If you want a 7 day cruise, you only get one cruise.
We sent off our cancellation... letter the day after we received the package. After they received the letter, they still kept calling to try to sell us on staying with the program. No way. And then they told me that they would refund my $99 after I returned the package (at my expense). Nowhere in the cancellation notice in the contract did it say anything about having to return the package. I refused to do so, and lo and behold, a "supervisor" said it was okay not to return it.
Please don't waste your money. It's not a good deal at all. Like they say, if it sounds too good to be true, it is. You'll do much better (with no time restrictions) buying a cruise on your own.
We finally got our $99 refund back. What a relief! Show more

We have been RCI owners for over 10 years and have been very happy with our home resort and the ability to schedule vacations. However, we were also duped into purchasing this great cruise and resort deal. We could have gotten the same cruise for less from a travel agent and now that I am trying to book my resort week (at my home resort no less), they tell me that I must pay an additional fee to do so. This $2000 certificate has now cost us over $3500. I was told I could have my choice of resorts and the size unit I want, but the availability of the resorts is limited. Funny, if I go in as an owner to book the same week, all the units are available. To those of you considering this package, don't do it.0 0 Reply
Oct 08, 2011
The deal sounded great. Availability looks week, except during off-season. I'm hoping that once I actually use the certificate that I will be able to report a positive review, but at this point I'm worried I got taken.0 0 Reply

We decided to trust the RCI person that called us and agreed to a cruise and resort/hotel certificate. BIG MISTAKE! We now realise we were 'taken'. The cruise we want is costing us $650.00 MORE for the two of us than we would pay purchsing it through a travel agent or directly from the cruise ship company. BEWARE, this is a sucker scam, but then so are the RCI times shares that become almost worthless as soon as you purchase them. If you want to buy a time share or add another one, purchased one that is a resale (on line is ok) for almost nothing compared to what RCI is asking. We do have resort time share points and use them, but we purchased these points for thousands of dollars less than they were asking at a presentation by buying it from someone that was dumping it.0 0 Reply

A few days ago, Sunny over at Strollerderby pleaded for society to stop making childhood sexy for little girls. Dolls, cartoons — and, yes, costumes — have been getting progressively sexier as the years go on. Maybe we're a whole bunch of prude-ish over-thinkers, but I think there's a line. And for me, these 10 costumes crossed it.
What do you think? Are we overreacting?
Sequin Disco Dress 1 of 10Complete with fishnets and pumps, naturally.
Girls Wine and Gold Lacey Luxe Pirate Costume 2 of 10Are corsets and knee-high heels necessary on preteens?
Anything Monster High 3 of 10We complain that the dolls are overly sexualized, and then we dress up our daughters like them?
Anything Bratz 4 of 10Putting Monster High to shame, in my opinion.
Teen Girls Cupcake Girl Costume 5 of 10I wouldn't even take a second look if this were for college students, but this is found in the KIDS section.
Teen Girls Little Red Riding Hood Costume 6 of 10Again, found in the children's section.
Teen Girls Firefighter Costume 7 of 10Sigh.
Sassy School Girl Costume 8 of 10Because this is in the children's section, they have to say "sassy" instead of "sexy." But, you know...
Leopard Diva Child Costume 9 of 10Never.
Little Bo Peep Child Costume 10 of 10Remember when Little Bo Peep wore an ankle-length, ruffly dress? Now the hem is hiked and a corset is added.

Poll: How common are violent co-workers?November 22nd, 2009, 12:00 pm by Jan Norman, small-business columnist
More than one in four (26%) employed Americans say they have seriously thought that someone in their workplace was capable of mass violence, according to a Rasmussen Report survey.
Tell us what you think and then read on:
Clearly the issue is in the news because of the shooting at Fort Hood that killed 13 and wounded 30. Besides that, 2 million people a year are victims of workplace violence, according to the U.S. Occupational Health and Safety Administration.
And an average of 1,000 people are killed at work each year since 1990, up from 850 in the 1980s, according to the Institute for Prevention of Workplace Violence in Lake Forest.Read the rest of this entry »

The Old Vic Tunnels – the cult performance space – could be turned into a skateboard park after the theatre from which it took its name withdrew funding.
The US footwear and clothing brand Vans is thought to be among the frontrunners in the race to take over the site beneath Waterloo station in London. Their plan is to turn the venue into an underground skate park.
The entrepreneur behind the nightclub Electric Brixton is also thought to be interested in taking over thelease for the venue, while a London market is also interested.
The Tunnels are managed by BRB (Residuary) which manages the remaining functions of the British Railways Board. It was part of British Rail's portfolio until it was split up by the 1993 Railways Act.
A spokeswoman for the Department of Transport said: "There has been interest from a number of parties and we are at an advanced state with one."
A spokesman for Vans said: "We are looking at it and are in negotiations." He stressed it was at an early stage.
The Southbank Centre's artistic director, Jude Kelly, also showed interest in the site, but ultimately did not submit a bid, a spokeswoman confirmed. The organisation wanted to concentrate on the £120m redevelopment plans for its Festival Wing.
Those plans, coincidentally, have been hamstrung by a high-profile campaign by skateboarders to block the redevelopment of the historic Undercroft, home to skaters for four decades.
The Independent has learnt that a series of bids have been submitted to take over the Tunnels lease after it emerged the Old Vic Theatre, whose artistic director is Kevin Spacey, decided to pull financial support in February.
In addition to their interest, Dominic Madden, the mastermind behind the relaunch of The Fridge nightclub in south London as Electric Brixton, and chief executive of Kingdom Entertainment, is also in the running for the site. He also oversaw the redevelopment of The Coronet in Elephant and Castle. Mr Madden did not return calls yesterday.
Old Vic Tunnels was discovered by Hamish Jenkinson – who works with Spacey at the Old Vic – while attending a display of work by Banksy in a disused road tunnel near Waterloo. While looking for the toilet, Mr Jenkinson discovered the tunnels by chance and convinced Spacey that it could be turned into a performance venue. They leased the site from 2009.
The venue comprises 30,000sq ft of disused tunnels, and the Old Vic looked to put on events to interest the "Facebook, two-minute-video gen- eration".
The Old Vic Tunnels ceased events in March, and news it was to close – revealed a month earlier – was met with dismay from fans who rushed to lodge their unhappiness at the decision on social networking sites
In an official statement, the Old Vic said: "The Tunnels was an adventurous and exciting project which started as a temporary event and performance space in 2009," before adding: "Since then, The Tunnels earned a reputation as one of the most creative spaces in London.
"We have had three great years to look back on, and are proud of the remarkable range of events and productions we have presented in the space."
Going underground: A space to treasure
Tunnel 228
The first production in the Old Vic Tunnels in 2009 was a collaboration with Punchdrunk, the immersive theatre company, which had a mixture of art and acting performances.
Exit Through the Gift Shop
The Tunnels hosted the premiere performance of Banksy's movie Exit Through the Gift Shop. Over 4,000 attended the previews of a "cutting edge art house film".
Bedlam was the third collaboration with Lazarides Gallery, following Hell's Half Acre and Minotaur, that took London's first mental institute as its starting point.

To preview a song, mouse over the title and click Play. Open iTunes to buy and download music.
Formed in 1993 and featuring Paul Rarick on vocals, Chris Herin on lead guitar, Jeff Whittle on bass, and Mark Evans on drums, classic hard rock/progressive rock band Tiles are very reminiscent of Rush. After much success on the local Detroit music scene, Tiles released their self-titled debut in 1994. Buoyed by success in Japan and Europe, Tiles issued their second album, 1997's Fence the Clear, featuring new drummer Pat Deleon. This second album was produced by longtime Rush producer Terry Brown and showed Tiles developing their individual style into an excellent 1990s progressive hard rock sound. Third album Presents of Mind appeared in 1999. Later that year the band went on tour with Dream Theater, opening for the legendary prog band on its European tour. Their fourth album, Window Dressing, arrived in 2004, followed four years later by 2008's Fly Paper, which featured guest appearances by Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson and a host of others. A slate of exhaustive touring in Europe and Japan followed by an an American tour, pushed the band toward an extended break. They resumed playing live dates on the prog ferstival circuit. In addition, Tiles' various members concentrated on solo and session work. After eight years, the band re-emerged with Pretending 2 Run, a double length concept record. Years in the making, the set was produced by Terry Brown (Rush, Fates Warning). Tiles enlisted a large cast of all star studio guests includingMike Stern and Adam Holzman, Ian Anderson, Mike Portnoy and Colin Edwin. The album was scheduled for an April 2016 release by Laser's Edge. ~ David White

Celebrate the festival of lights with crisp and crunchy, healthy Hanukkah latkes made with sweet potatoes, ginger, whole wheat flour, and just a few tablespoons of oil.
Our Sweet Potato and Ginger Latkes are a flavorful and healthy twist to traditional latke recipes made with LOTS of oil.
The ginger adds a fresh flavor to this simple yet satisfying side dish, and the sweet potatoes bring a big burst of immune-boosting vitamin A to the table.
Sweet Potato and Ginger Latkes
Makes 5 Servings
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- One 1-pound sweet potato, peeled and shredded (4 cups)
- 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/8 cup minced onion
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2½ tablespoons expeller pressed canola oil, divided
1. In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, sweet potato, whole wheat flour, onion, salt, ginger, and pepper until well combined.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Working in batches of 4, place 1/4 cup loosely packed potato mixture per latke into the skillet and flatten to 4-inch diameter. Cook until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Repeat with another tablespoon of oil and 4 more latkes, and finish with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil and 2 latkes. Adjust heat as needed.
Note: To keep the latkes warm, we placed a wire cooling rack on a baking sheet, popped it in a 200 degree oven, and then placed the finished latkes on top.

One response to "Sweet Potato and Ginger Latkes for a Healthy Hanukkah"
I made these last night and they were delicious! I did have to reduce the cooking time to about 2 minutes per side and turn the temperature down lower because they were starting to blacken.
