BWW Interview: Magician Derek DelGaudio Has Plenty to Hide
Derek DelGaudio's fascination with trickery and illusion began with his love of old musicals, the kind he watched on television as a child. "I was 12 years old and had always been interested in things that were magical, especially old Hollywood musicals," said DelGaudio, the writer and half of the performing tandem in the hit Off Broadway evening of magic NOTHING TO HIDE. His favorites starred Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire or even Buster Keaton. "They were all magical happenings to me, especially Willy Wonka," he said after a performance.
DelGaudio, NOTHING TO HIDE'S co-star, with Helder Guimarães, is a Los Angeles-based artist whose work, according to his website, ranges from "intimate and conceptual sleight of hand to grand-scale public interventions." He garnered critical acclaim for "184 Seconds," a conceptual magic performance, and #derek-showlive, a magic show on Twitter. NOTHING TO HIDE is crisply directed by Neil Patrick Harris.
Some of DelGaudio's most vivid magical memories have stayed with him to this day. "I recall seeing a magician make a pocketknife vanish and I couldn't believe it," he said. "I just couldn't believe these things happened in real life - I thought they only happened in movies," DelGaudio said. That youthful disbelief led to a life in fierce pursuit of bigger and more astonishing tricks to master.
"It sparked my imagination," he continued. "I got a book on card magic and cheating at cards. It was all very romantic to me and I fell in love with it." But his relationship with sleight-of-hand was kept fairly private for a number of years.
"I didn't perform for anyone until much later and through my teens I had an on-again off-again relationship with magic," he said. "I didn't find the relevance to do it other than a hobby." In fact, the rare times DelGaudio performed were after his family moved from L.A. to Colorado - where he found the popular Tower Magic Bar in Snowmass, once owned by John Denver. "I was young and obsessive in terms of technique and practice and I developed pretty quickly," he said. The bar had a storied reputation for attracting top magicians. It was a great place to watch and learn from contemporary masters, he said. And he learned to respect the craft as well as those who watched.
"I don't do what I do to deceive people, but because I want to generate wonder and amazement," he said. "The first time I saw "Singin' in the Rain" and watched Gene Kelly dance was just transforming. Or Willy Wonka, which was almost a documentary to me," he said with a laugh. "Those sorts of things and people blur the lines of reality and fantasy for me; they make things that seem impossible, possible."
DelGaudio's very first audience, not surprisingly, was his mother. "She was my first and best audience," he recalled. "She was always supportive," even when he could be slightly intrusive. "One time she was taking a shower and recalls seeing a hand with a deck of cars in it come through the curtain, and hearing my voice telling her to 'Take a card, any card.' She yelled at me."
Despite his love of all things magical he avoided turning pro. "It's interesting because I love magic and kind of didn't want to ruin it for myself. I believe magic is important because it's capable of expanding the imagination and creating new spaces for thinking.
"It's a synthetic wonder used to inspire awe and questions that can lead to big answers," he philosophized. "Anything that can't be explained by science is called magic. What we do aren't really 'tricks'- they're effects that develop depending on circumstances," he said. Not content to stick with a formulaic repertory of illusions, DelGaudio is more intrigued by being challenged and then challenging his audience.
"I'm also willing to abandon material very quickly," he added. "That's highly unusual for a magician. But I feel that creation is an important part of progress, so I develop work specific to circumstances and work in that moment.
NOTHING TO HIDE is a collaboration with Helder (whom DelGaudio calls in the show "a Portuguese Muppet") that "spawned out of our friendship," he said. One of their most dazzling illusions centers on a past issue of The Village Voice with some unusual qualities. "The Village Voice thing is a perfect example of us working together to create something amazing," he said. Another jaw-dropping feat involves scores of glass bottles that each contains a deck of cards. Mind-boggling tom-foolery ensues that includes an audience member's dream and a stuffed monkey.
"The bottle trick involves a dream and grew out of us asking: 'Wouldn't it be great if ... ?' It started with one bottle then expanded to 796," DelGaudio said. "Actually more, since we have to replace some every night."
He sees his vocation as a vehicle to express his romanticism "I'm like a poet who wants to write poems about poetry," DelGaudio said. "Magic is a very powerful thing. When done well, it can stand next to the greatest shows on earth."
NOTHING TO HIDE has been extended through January 19. It's playing at the Pershing Square Signature Center, 480 W. 42nd Street at Tenth Avenue.

Nord Reveals New Analog-Modelling Synth Lead A1
- Words: Glenn Jackson
Getting in on the pre-NAMM action (the conference officially gets underway tomorrow), Swedish gear manufacturer Nord has introduced the Lead A1, a new analog-modelling synthesizer. The Lead A1 is said to be built with Nord's "best-ever analog modeling"—which "recreates a total analog signal path with uncanny realism and is capable of immense sonic variety," and features "24-voice polyphony and four simultaneous synthesizer parts." In addition to the powerful level of sound control Nord is known for giving its users, the Lead A1 also features transistor- and diode-ladder filter simulations which can emulate the sound of Minimoog and TB-303 filters.
Aside from its sonic qualities, the Lead A1 seems to focus on the speed with which one can customize the keyboard's sound, with a newly redesigned oscillator section allowing for easy programming without excessive routing and patching. The full specifications of Nord's new synth can be found here, while a few examples of the sounds the Lead A1 can create are available to stream below.

End of the Rebellion
My first Fan-Fic Ever! (well, about Pokemon that is...)
End of the Rebellion: Acarios story
A Gloomier Region
I really hate Jatilisan. Why? Cause it sucks.
Jatilisan is the name of the region IM in. Not from, in.
This region contains 490 species of Pokemon, excluding my evolutionary chain. But I dont hate it because of that though, noooo I hate it because of the fact that most Pokemon are scared to come out of their homes, and its a sight to se a Ferligator cowering in fear.
Theyre scared because of the Rebellion, now called the A.F.T.A, which stands for the Annihilation For Trainers Association. See, years ago, a Mewtwo under the training of a trainer from Kanto, named Red, rebelled against its master, killing him in cold blood. It then realized that its Poke-ball, a bright purple one with an M on it, disappeared! It became a free Pokemon again! It, along with its masters team, went on a crusade, killing Pokemon Trainers and recruiting their Pokemon to the Rebellion. Some Pokemon tried to escape, not wanting to join the madness and kill innocent people. Most of those Pokemon, heroic as they were, were brutally slaughtered by the Rebellion. From this day on, the Rebellion is still searching for survivors.
The Rebellion allows wild Pokemon to roam free, for the point of their crusade was to free all the regions Pokemon, but the ones in hiding believe it may not be that way for long. I roam around, looking for surviving trainers to catch me so I can have a part in Mewtwo's downfall, though Ive had no success.
I HATE them! I just wanted to scream! And so I did, and it wasnt a scream like "DRATINI!!!" Like it would have been back in Kanto, no. It was a human scream, like "AAARGH!!!!"
All Pokemon in Jatilisan can talk, and there is two rumors to how that happened. One, A Pokemon named Arceus blessed this land and all the Pokemon in it. Two, A talking Meowth and two humans wearing Rs on their shirts landed here, taught some Pokemon to talk, and the ability spread, later a Jirachi supposedly blessed the land so any Pokemon that enters suddenly gains the ability to speak. I believe in the first, who ever heard of a talking Meowth that isn't from here?
So I kept waiting, waiting for the impossible to happen, for a trainer to come, Poke-ball in hand.

Re: End of the Rebellion
Acario Starts
I want to fight my way out of this town, just to escape. But the problem with that is, I'd die trying.
Kulano Village is where I'm at, and I should of known they'd find me soon enough. This Village is surrounded by Aggron, and everyone is cowering for fear.
Except me.
I come from a tough background. My father, Riley (Here's a resemblance: "Riley-Riolu" "Acario-Lucario") came from Sinnoh after training so much, he completly leveled up every Pokemon he had. He later moved here just to embark on a new adventure.
A few years ago, he dissapeared, and I was told he was killed by an Aggron.
Imagine that, now there are 20 or so coming to the village to get me.
Why are they coming for me? I keep breaking the "Barrier Rules" set by Mewtwo, leader of the Rebe- Oh, I'm sorry, A.F.T.A. Anyways these Barrier Rules state that no human can leave the city it is currently in without A.F.T.A escort or they will slaughter you and everyone you care for.
That is why they come here now. To slaughter me and everyone I care for. Luckily I don't care for anybody in this damned place.
I ran into the storage shed that I keep my stash in. I rummaged around till I found it. A Pokedex, a Black Flute, a White Flute, 6 Ultra-balls, a Bicycle, and 6 Max Potions.
Nobody knew I had these, I got them from a destroyed town up north whose only inhabitants were trainers. Who knew what happened to it.
These objects were banned. They were considered "Rebelious and unnecessary" by Mewtwo. Funny, Rebellious? You're the Rebellion...
I took my time and snuck out. The Aggron had just passed village borders. I got on the bike and blew the black flute. The Aggron were instantly alerted to my position.
"I'M GOING TO RIP YOU APART, LITTLE WELP!!!!" One yelled, and then he rushed towards me.
Instantly he was repelled from me, like there was a barrier around me. Hmmm... I thought the flute just made them avoid me...
I kicked the bike into third gear. I flew by the town, knocking Aggron over like bowling pins. I didn't stop riding until the village was a black spot in my view.
"Well done!" said a watching Chatot.
And thus began my journey as a trainer.

Re: End of the Rebellion
Adding on to what TitaniumAnimations said, the plot has a great set-up for an intense story. The story really looks like it'll go somewhere. However, to critique on some things...
- It's short. For two chapters, this is short. Maybe you could combine these two as a prologue, since they explain the main premise and don't quite tie in the two main characters? To lengthen them, you gotta have...
- DESCRIPTION, YO. Mostly in Chapter 2. Is the village run-down? I hope that Chatot wasn't sarcastic. What exactly is the Aggrons' domain? Did Acario somehow leave the village before the same way, and if so, to do what kinds of things? Has Acario had any relationship with her father? What do the other villagers think of her? Courageous? Rapscallion-y?
- Lastly, little grammatical things. The spelling is perfect, don't worry about that. Grammar's a bit harder...
-- If you're referring to the Pokemon of a region, say "region's Pokemon", not "regions Pokemon", referring to a plural in a not-correct way.
-- Some sentences are connected oddly. "Two, A talking Meowth and two humans wearing Rs on their shirts landed here, taught some Pokemon to talk, and the ability spread, later a Jirachi supposedly blessed the land so any Pokemon that enters suddenly gains the ability to speak." is a ve-he-he-HEry long sentence. Let's edit it some...
"Two: a talking Meowth and two humans wearing Rs on their shirts landed here, taught some Pokemon to talk, and the ability spread. Later a Jirachi supposedly blessed the land so any Pokemon that enters suddenly gains the ability to speak."
A sentence made up of two not-good-together sentences isn't good. There's a few other instances of this in the first chapter as well.
-- "Rebelled against it's master" would be "against its master". Remember that its is possessive, and it's means "it is".
And...that's about it. Lengthen/combine/whatever these two chapters and keep it up, man.
A very dumb story. Go read it.

Re: End of the Rebellion
As a bit of advice for posting on forums: double space between paragraphs. Since we can't indent here, it's the best way to paragraph your story and make it easier to read.

Re: End of the Rebellion
Chapter 3
Dream or Reality? Is it too good to be true?
A shivering Charizard. A Furret playing possum. that can only mean one thing. A.F.T.A troops are checking up on their domain. AARGH!!! Just looking at those troops make my rage boil up!
They always torture, taunt, enslave, and even
their citizens! They're breaking their own laws! No one stands up to them, even though some of them want to.
You know what? I'm going to change that...
Oh! And what perfect timing! Here they come now!
An Aggron, (the entire Aggron population joined the rebellion, even the wild ones. They despise humans. Mewtwo uses them to kill lawbreakers.) an Aerodactyl, (less common) and an Exploud came into sight. They snickered at the sight of me being in the middle of their way with an angry and accusing look in my eyes.
"Pipsqueak, you have no idea who you're messing with." The Aggron said, an amused tone in his voice
Pipsqueak? they have no idea who they're messing with! I had trained myself in case I had to defend myself in an ambush, and I could easily defend myself from these three!
I charged, jumped, and wrapped my tail around the Aerodactyl. It screamed, and the Aggron's hand glowed and it tried to punch me. I jumped off the Aerodactyl, and the Aggron ended up punching it. I shot a fireball at the Aerodactyl while it was distracted, and it flew backwards, knocked out cold.
The Aggron charged at me, screaming. and a wave of electricity shot from my mouth, paralyzing it. I left it alone for now, for the Exploud had opened it's mouth, and it's pores were sticking up straight. I had enough experience to know that wasn't good.
I spun around in a circle and moved around at blinding speed. It kept shooting ear-shattering soundwaves at me while I was slithering around, evading them all.
"STOP MOVING!!!" It yelled.
"Try and stop me!" I yelled back.
It screeched very loudly, and I felt dazed and confused. Next thing I knew was a blinding pain and I was in its jaws.
"Just did." It said mockingly. A yellow ball appeared in it's mouth, I knew it was using Hyper Beam, and I knew I was done for.
I heard a flute blow, a human cry, and a bike riding by, and then I was on the ground.
I ran to the scene when I heard an Aggron scream. I figured that a Pokemon that would stand a chance against an Aggron would be willing to be a Pokemon of mine, For we'd both hate the A.F.T.A.
I ran there, and a huge smile on my face appeared when I found out what was happening. A Dratini was running around at a blinding speed, an Exploud using Hyper Voice over and over trying to get it. An Aggron was twitching, paralyzed, and a third body was crumpled on the ground.
"STOP MOVING!!!" It yelled
" Try and stop me!" The Dratini yelled back.
I was tempted to roll on the ground laughing, for he (or at least I think it was a he) was exactly like me! but I paid attention again when the Dratini was in its jaws.
"Just did." It said, and a Hyper Beam started in its mouth.
I knew I had to intervene, for the punishment for attacking A.F.T.A officers was death by overuse of the move Guillotine. That, I didn't want to happen.
So I blew my Black Flute, screamed, and charged. The Exploud was repelled from the invisible sheild that surrounded me, the Hyper Beam stopping, the grip around the Dratini loosening. The Dratini dropped from it's jaws, and before I had time to help it up, it used Twister on the Exploud, blowing it away.
He quickly knocked it out. Then the Aggron recovered and charged at him, It was paralyzed again within a second. Instead of knocking it out, he turned towards me.
"Who are you, girl?" He said, looking straight at at me, examining my every feature.
"I? I am Acario. I am 15, I am from a human villiage that I despise, and I desperately want to become a trainer so I can bring down the A.F.T.A."
At this there was a sparkle in his eye, and he looked straight into my eyes.
"Then catch me!" He said, with longing. "Catch me and we'll raise a team that will bring back the Trainers!"
I was suddenly eager. I pulled out a Poke-ball, and held it out to him, opening it slowly.
He disappeared in a beam of red light.
It rocked once, twice, thrice, and then sparks came out of it. I had caught my first Pokemon, and it was a good one!

Re: End of the Rebellion
You are improving! Excellent! Yet your chapters definitely need to be even longerer, lol. Your grammar is improving, but instead of writing on the forum, why don't you write on Microsoft Word? You could write, indent, and have grammar and spell check on! That way you wouldn't have the trouble of having to catch it yourself.
How to make your chapters longer? Well. That is tricky and I still suffer from that fault time to time. I recommend using either Microsoft Word or Google Documents. Using these, they make you feel like you haven't written anything, when you have written about 7 pages (it depends on your font though. I have a font of 12). Other than than that... well... let's say I will be reading the next chapter for sure!
Oh, and your stuff isn't bad! It's great!

Re: End of the Rebellion
Sorry I haven't been on in a long time...
The World as Evee Knows it
I did what I always do when I meet a new person. Pester them with questions
So what do you plan to do with me? was my first one.
Raise a team. Then hopefully defeat Mewtwo, even though thats probably never going to happen. The human girl (Oh, what was her name?) answered back.
Do you have a family? I asked
Not anymore. She said, with a dark tone in her voice
Really? Why?
Can we just skip this one? Its a very touchy subject. She said, her voice getting more frantic.
Nope. I demand answers!
Fine! Both my parents were trainers that were mowed down by an Aggron swarm! Are you happy now?
Whered you live?
In a very dismal, pathetic village. I kept sneaking out to go to ruins in the north.
Are you insane? Those ruins are swarming with guards!
I know, eventually I was caught, and that was why I ran away.
Arent you worried about the other people in your village?
Not at all! I hated all of them!
But why?
Because You know what? You ask too many questions!
I chuckled. I hit a sore spot. Then I remembered why I started asking questions in the first place Very well, Ill stop. But I do want you to meet someone. Shes amazing.
Its not a person, is it?
No, but shell blow you away! I said
I maneuvered along the forest that we were now in and chuckled as I found my trainer was having a hard time keeping up. But eventually I got tired of it and slowed down.
Eventually we came to our destination. The burrow of the most interesting Pokemon there is.
I woke up annoyed because someone was yelling down my burrow, then I recognized the voice and calmed down.
I climbed up the hole and met my visitors, Dratini, my best friend from this sector (Yes, I said sector, not region. That will be explained) and a female human?
Her mouth dropped open. Of course it did, I was gray! Not very many shiny Pokemon are born in this world! And then she did something that I didnt expect. She pulled out a Pokedex.
Did that mean she was a trainer?! Arceus, there were so many times I had impressed Dratini. But this time he impressed me!
Evee, Dratini started. This is my trainer... um
Acario, my name is Acario.
Yes! I knew it started with an A!
I was stunned. This meant the trainers were returning! And I couldnt miss out on that!
Evee, Dratini continued. I want you to tell her the history of Jatilisan
I see. I answered. She is a fairly new trainer?
Yes, about a day old.
Then I shall tell you I cleared my throat.
There are two theories of how the Pokemon here learned to talk. I happen to know the right theory; For Queen Jessie and King James rule the sector to the south, The Unity Land. That is the only sector that Mewtwo couldnt conquer. There are two other sectors, which are divisions of this region.
One belonged to the Pokemon Rangers, who migrated here after a volcanic eruption destroyed Fiore. They were thought to be all but exterminated. I think there are a small number are still operating at the south border between The Ranger Land and the Unity Land.
This is the third sector, the one that the Rebellion hit hardest. The Rebellion Grounds, a line of land that separates this sector and The Ranger Land, is right below this sector, and its where Mewtwo lives.
There are barrens to the north, populated mostly by Aggron I saw the human tense- but it also is populated by a lot of Ghost and Dark Pokemon. And its where the mysterious group, the Darksiders, does their necromancy
There are five islands around the sectors, but there is sometimes said to be seven. They were discovered by crusaders trying to discover new Pokemon that nobody had seen before. Their names are Death Island, Origin Island, Donut Island, Unown Island, and The Eon Chain
I know nothing of the other four islands, but The Eon Chain was originally inhabited by a group of Evee evolutions, one of them my father. They fought against Mewtwo in what is now called The Great War. My father was killed by Mewtwo himself and I was stuck as a wild Pokemon, roaming across the sectors.
So lets talk about The Great War, shall we? As everybody knows, Mewtwo was owned by Red and blah, blah, blah. But what very few know is that Mewtwo didnt actually start the war! Instead the war was started by a Deoxys that strongly believed in Mewtwos cause. So it lead a group of Aggron to destroy all the great trainers of Sinnoh including Diamond, Barry, Riley- The human tensed again- And Cynthia. All of them are believed dead, but I believe not.
Mewtwo was impressed at this bold move and Deoxys became second in command. My mother was killed by the very same one
Soon almost all trainers were wiped out. Why almost? Because over the years, Mewtwo has found several trainers. I believe theres a whole encampment out there somewhere. And I plan to find them!
And then I had a brilliant idea, and I spoke it to the girl.
I want to join your team, and not just open the Poke-ball and I go in. youre going to have to catch me like any other wild Pokemon! I want vengeance against the Rebellion for killing my family!
She smiled, and executed her first command.

STILLWATER, Okla. - Oklahoma State senior quarterback Zac Robinson recently served as a camp coach at the Manning Passing Academy in Thibodaux, La., where he worked alongside some of the nation's top quarterbacks, along with the camp's namesakes, Archie, Peyton and Eli Manning. Robinson visited with okstate.com to share his experiences.
Okstate.com: So what was a typical day like at the Manning Camp?
OSU: Who were some of the other quarterbacks there?
OSU: Did you get any time to visit with any of the Mannings?

Fourth-grader performs national anthem — in sign
Date: February 3, 2010
by: Pam Eubanks | News Editor
RIVER CLUB — It's not that 9-year-old Levi Waxler doesn't like to speak.
It's just he'd rather do it with his hands.
The fourth-grader at Braden River Elementary School has been learning sign language since he was just 7 years old.
"It kind of inspires me, I guess," Levi said of sign language. "I just love it."
Levi's talent hit the local spotlight last weekend when he signed the national anthem at the Sarasota Polo Club's public polo match Jan. 31. Sunday's performance was his second at the Polo Club, but he does not expect it to be his last.
Levi's interest in sign language was sparked three summers ago when he and his mom, Tanya, were on a plane to New York. Tanya Waxler used their time on the flight to teach her son the alphabet in sign language.
When she and Levi arrived at the hotel, they met a deaf boy who was about Levi's age. His family was using sign language to communicate, and the Waxlers stopped by to learn how to form the few letters Tanya Waxler couldn't remember.
Levi's interest in learning the language was instantaneous. At first, he taught himself by looking at a book. But eventually, because of Levi's constant desire to learn, Tanya Waxler posted an ad on Craigslist.com for a tutor.
"My husband and I thought it would last a couple of months — kids lose interest — but (Levis' tutor Nicole Mohler) has been here two years," Tanya Waxler said.
Over that time, Levi has learned hundreds of words, how to use them in a sentence and how to use facial expressions and body language to convey meaning.
When it comes to speaking in sign language, Levi seems to have no reservations. He signs the Pledge of Allegiance every morning in class, talks to himself at home or to his mom while she's on the phone and worked it into the rap song he wrote to win a student council seat. He's even tutoring a friend at school and has stopped in Burger Kings and other establishments to "speak" with deaf families when he sees them.
"I just like to do sign language," he said.

In filming the life story of Grover Cleveland Alexander, Warner
Brothers made it a story of redemption when in fact it was a story of
tragedy. But 1952 movie audiences wanted their happy endings.
Grover Cleveland Alexander (1887-1950) was possibly the greatest right handed pitcher in National League history. He played for 3 teams, the Phillies, Cubs, and Cardinals and compiled 373 lifetime victories over a 20 year period.
While still in the bush leagues Alexander sustained a serious head injury when a ball struck him right between the eyes while he was a base runner. He had double vision and headaches for a year. During World War I while an artillery officer the noise of exploding shells compounded a seemingly healed injury with a complication of epilepsy. To anesthetize himself, Alexander took to drinking some of that Prohibition whiskey and became an alcoholic.
After leaving baseball in 1930 for the next twenty years, Alexander drifted to all kinds of menial jobs, occasionally making headlines with some alcohol related incident. One positive headline was his election to the Hall of Fame in the second round of elections. He was on hand for the dedication of the building in Cooperstown.
In 1950 Alex was on hand as the Phillies won their second National League Pennant. Alex was the star of the first pennant winning team in 1915. A month later he was found dead in a cheap rooming house.
That unfortunately is the sad truth of the real Grover Cleveland Alexander. This is not the film you will see.
Ronald Reagan is just fine and actually comes close to the character of the real Alexander who was a genial and kind man with a terrible drinking problem. This was the final film Reagan made while at Warner Brothers.
Doris Day in her second film with Reagan plays Amy Arrants Alexander, his loyal, faithful wife. In her memoirs Doris wrote that during the shooting she and Reagan had a few dates and she remembers him best as a good man who was quite a dancer when they went out. This film also qualifies as a musical for in the beginning Doris has a Christmas number, Old St. Nicholas, and Reagan joins her for the last two bars. Ronald Reagan actually did sing in one of his films.
Today Hollywood would have no problem filming the real story which was quite a love story. Amy Alexander married Alex 3 times and divorced him twice, both those divorces an effort to give him a wake up call.
But the widow Alexander was an adviser on the film and she got the film made to show the public the husband she wanted them to remember.
And baseball fans the world over remember Grover Cleveland Alexander as a great baseball pitcher and a decent and patriotic man whose service to his country caused him a lifetime of triumph and tragedy trying to control the pain in his brain. It's a good legacy that doesn't need any embellishment from Hollywood.
Grover Cleveland Alexander was a remarkable pitcher and lived a very
interesting life in an era in which baseball sported the most colorful
people in its history: the early 1900s. Some of stories about them,
like this one, are very inspiring, too, although they end this bio on
Alexander's high note not his tragic demise - but what's wrong with
that? People want to leave the theater feeling good, not depressed.
Ronald Reagan does a decent job portraying "Alex," except for the baseball scenes where he doesn't throw or hit like a real big-leaguer. That was common in classic sports films. You don't see that now. Robert Redford ("The Natural"), Kevin Costner (several baseball films) and the like, know how to play the game.
This is corny in spots and it's sugar-coated like some of the other classic sports stories. However, Alexander is shown with his drinking problem and his wife, played by Doris Day, also does the wrong thing walking away from her husband in his time of need.....so you do see some bad with the good. Yet, all ends well and overall, it's an interesting movie.
What's more, the climactic scene actually happened in real life where Alexander turned into a World Series hero despite the odds against him.
If you really want interesting stories, read the real-life accounts of men like Alexander, Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Christy Matthewson, John MacGraw, Honus Wagner, Tris Speaker, etc. They are fascinating.
In "The Winning Team" Reagan is the great early baseball star Grover Cleveland Alexander. Unimaginitive direction makes this film a little dry, but Reagan's solid performance as the pitcher who has a tragic accident early in his career and yet refuses to quit, is well worth the effort to watch it. Reagan gives a realistic portrayal of the flawed hero who makes a surprising comeback and with the help of his wife, and ignores the ugly rumors that surrounded his occasional blackouts. His performance on the field in the final moments, despite suffering from his affliction reflect the courage that it must have taken the real Alexander to stay at the helm till the ship sailed home. I recommend this film to anyone who likes baseball and certainly to fans of Reagan, who has been often disparaged as an actor, when it was usually the director or the film itself that was really bad. I also recommend Kings Row, Hasty Heart and Law and Order, all of which are solid Reagan films.
Not a great film, but entertaining for baseball fans. Ronald Reagan
plays Grover Cleveland Alexander, one of the greatest pitchers in big
league history.
Doris Day, a great actress, is outstanding as Aimee, his wife (this film is worth watching just because Doris is in it).
The real life Alexander served in World War I and also was an alcoholic.
The movie covers the baseball career of the great pitcher (who won 28 games as a rookie, 373 overall). The movies' biggest fault was it ends with Alexander's heroics in the 1926 World Series in St. Louis upset of the powerful Yankees. In 1928,the Yankees slaughtered the same Cardinals team in a four game sweep, with Alexander, still pitching at age 41, getting shelled in two starts.
Actual baseball footage at the end of the film shows the great Babe Ruth inexplicably trying to steal second base, with the Yankees trailing, down to their last out in the series (he was thrown out).
This is an average and generally somewhat interesting film biography of
baseball pitcher Grover Cleveland Alexander, whose life does provide
plenty of material for a movie. Although the portrait of Alexander is
somewhat stylized, it is relatively straightforward in bringing out the
less admirable events in his life. Overall, it follows the usual
formulas for such films, with a reasonable degree of success.
Ronald Reagan gives a solid if unspectacular performance as Alexander, with Doris Day as his wife giving it a little more energy. The supporting cast is decent, with Frank Lovejoy probably getting the best opportunities as Rogers Hornsby, although the character takes some noticeable liberties with the Hornsby of baseball history. There are also numerous other factual inaccuracies about the players, stadiums, and so forth. In this respect, it's somewhat interesting as a contrast to many recent biographical movies.
Recent movies sometimes make better efforts to get the minor details right, but then they often distort the larger picture to promote a pet view of history or of a historical character. Older biographies like "The Winning Team" might be more likely to change factual details to fit a dramatic story, but less likely to distort the broader view of events.
Regardless of all that, this is a reasonable picture, without many significant strengths or flaws. It's probably mostly of interest to baseball fans or to those curious to see Reagan's role.
Ronald Reagan delivers one of his best screen performances as baseball
great Grover Cleveland Alexander in THE WINNING TEAM. The title refers
to the mutually supportive relationship between Alexander and his
loving wife Aimee (top-billed Doris Day); with this in mind, is it any
surprise that the real Aimee Alexander served as the film's technical
adviser. What was left out of the script & film was that Aimee married
her husband three separate times after twice divorcing him to as she
said stop him from drinking. THE WINNING TEAM was directed by Lewis
Seiler who went from directing 2-reel silent comedies to making
westerns with legendary Tom Mix. Among his best sound films are
GUADALCANAL DIARY and some DEAD END KIDS & CHARLIE CHAN films. THE
WINNING TEAM was produced by Bryan Foy a long time friend of Ronald
Reagan's as they made so many "B" films together he was jokingly
referred to as "keeper of the B's" (low budget, shorter films to play
second on a double bill). Foy directed the very first all-talkie
feature film LIGHTS OF NEW YORK in 1928 and he produced the most
successful 3-D film of the 1950's, HOUSE OF WAX in 1953. And yes Foy
was one of the sons of vaudevillian Eddie Foy.
Grover Cleveland "Old Pete" Alexander lived from 1887 to 1950. He was a Major League Baseball pitcher for the Philadelphia Phillies, Chicago Cubs, and St. Louis Cardinals. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1938. In his 1911 debut, Alexander led the league with 28 wins (a modern-day rookie record), 31 complete games, 367 innings pitched, and seven shutouts. He was drafted into WWI and in France was an artillery officer, where he suffered from shell shock and partial hearing loss. Injuries from playing baseball and battle fatigue lead to more physical problems and alcoholism. After the film was finished Ronald Reagan was disappointed that it was not made more clear that Alexander suffered from Epilepsy, the studio banned the use of the word in the film because of a social stigma at the time. Modern examples of controversy might include living legends Pete Rose and Mark McGuire. But it has been suggested that the drinking was due to his fear (which the film touches on) from not understand epilepsy and the seizures that he had. Notable Achievements include: 373 career wins (3rd all-time); Won 20 games or more 9 times, won 30 games or more 3 times; Pitched 90 shutouts (2nd all time); Won NL Pitcher's Triple Crown in 1915, 1916, 1917 and 1920; World Series champion (1926); National League pennants (1915), (1918) In 1999 he was ranked number 12 on The Sporting News list of the 100 Greatest Ballplayers of all time.
Ronald Reagan best known as our 40th President, started his acting career as a sports caster in Des Moines, Iowa which led to being a play-by-play announcer for the Chicago Cubs. In 1937 he moved to Hollywood and debuted in LOVE IS IN THE AIR. He appeared in dozens of B films. In the 1939 Bette Davis "A" film DARK VICTORY, Reagan got good notices which led to better roles as in George Gipp (win this one for the "Gipper") in the sports bio KNUTE ROCKNE: ALL American and George Armstrong Custer in SANTE FE TRAIL. He was never Oscar nominated but many consider his role in KINGS ROW to be his best performance. In 1951 he made his first film with Doris Day, it was a KKK drama called STORM WARNING. During the 1950s he was a democrat and fought communism as the head of the Screen Actors Guild and while working in television as host of the General Electric Theater he switched to the Republican Party in 1962. He met his wife Nancy Davis while making the film HELLCATS OF THE NAVY. His last film was THE KILLERS in 1964. In 1966 he was elected Governor of California and the rest they say is history.
Doris Day turned 87 this past April 3rd, she was born Doris Mary Ann Von Kappelhoff in Evanston, Ohio. At 14 she won a talent contest on a Cincinnati radio, the band leader joked she should change her name to something shorter for a marquee. The song she sang was "Day by Day." Doris Day was soon discovered by band leader Les Brown and their hit SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY sent her to Hollywood where she made ROMANCE ON THE HIGH SEAS in 1948. Her song, "IT'S MAGIC" was Oscar nominated for best song. Among her many film highlights are CALAMITY JANE, TEACHER'S PET (her favorite), LOVE ME OR LEAVE ME, THE PAJAMA GAME, Hitchcock's THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH, THAT TOUCH OF MINK and PILLOW TALK (my favorite) where she was Oscar nominated for Best Leading Actress. Her TV career included THE DORIS DAY SHOW, DORIS DAY TODAY & DORIS DAY'S BEST FRIENDS. She is now retired, living in Carmel California, a full-time vegetarian and an animal rights activist.
3rd billed Frank Lovejoy plays Rogers Hornsby another ballplayer who befriends Alexander. You may not remember his name but you will recognize him, square-jawed, intense, no-nonsense Frank Lovejoy played a succession of detectives, street cops, reporters and soldiers in films. He made his Broadway debut in 1934 and with his gritty, authoritative voice was perfect for radio making thousands of old time radio show appearances on "Gangbusters", "Night Beat" and "Damon Runyon Theater".
Winning Team, The (1952)
*** (out of 4)
Pretty good, if watered down, drama about the career of Hall of Fame pitcher Grover Cleveland Alexander (Ronald Reagan) who started life on the farm but quickly made a name for himself as a pitcher. When his career was apparently over he started to suffer from alcoholism but his wife (Doris Day) gets him back into shape so that he can make a comeback. Once again we have a bio-pic that has been fictionalized but even with this the movie manages to be very entertaining from start to finish thanks to some very good performances. I think there are a few minor issues with one of them being the fact that the studio forced the producer's to cut down on some of the more darker moments. The alcoholism issue is only touched for a few seconds and Alexander's battle with epilepsy is pretty much overlooked. Another minor problem is that this is a movie about Alexander yet a lot of the attention goes to the wife. Day got top-billing but this is certainly Reagan's movie but at the same time there are many scenes that are obviously here just to give Day more scenes and this includes a really bad singing sequence around Christmas time. With all of that said, the rest of the movie is pretty much a winner. Baseball fans are really going to eat up seeing how they were playing back in the day plus we get to view the old-time uniforms and even better is that we get to see some of the old baseball stadiums. There's also quite a bit of stock footage used to try and re-create some moments of the 1926 World Series, which was against the New York Yankees and their Murderers Row. This was Reagan's final film at Warner after fifteen-years worth of service and they certainly let him go out on a high note. I thought Reagan was very believable in the role and manages to look quite natural as a pitcher and he also managed to be very believable in the part of the farm boy. The early scenes with him struggling with his disease were extremely well-done and this ranks as one of the actors better performances. Day is also in top-form even though I think we could have used a little less of her character. Frank Lovejoy gets a good bit as Rogers Hornsby and we get some real-life players including Jerry Priddy, Bob Lemon, Peanuts Lowery and Irving Noren. Frank Ferguson, who most will remember from ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN, plays Day's father here. Again, if you're wanting to truth on Alexander then it's best you go read a book but if you're just looking for some quick entertainment then this film does the job.
When film began, Grover Cleveland Alexander was a teenager--while
Ronald Reagan was almost 40! singing?! This is a biopic about the
career of one of the greatest pitchers in major league history, Grover
Cleveland Alexander. If you look at the man's statistics, they are
staggeringly impressive. Because of this and Alexander's later medical
issues, it's not at all surprising they made this film. What is rather
surprising, however, is that they chose Ronald Reagan to play the man.
When the film began, he was supposed to be a very young man--while
Reagan was nearly 40! He did fine in the role, however.
The first half of the film sticks reasonably close to the facts. If anything, it underplayed the greatness of the man (such as not even mentioning his three consecutive 30 win seasons and winning the triple-crown three times). However, around the middle of the film, the story gets hokey--and deviates very far from the truth. While Alexander did have problems with epilepsy and alcohol following his stint in WWI, the film made it look like his life and career fell apart. It also shows him being out of major league ball for some time until he cleaned himself up--but this just isn't true. He never had a losing season and still had excellent statistics until his final season in ball (when he was 43)--and the lengthy downward spiral in the film just never happened. With a career record of 373 and 208, he clearly was no bum! Overall, "The Winning Team" is a highly enjoyable and highly inaccurate and sensationalized film. While I do recommend it (it's well made and interesting), it seems sad that a great man's life was so distorted just to see a few extra tickets. But, that was pretty common for Hollywood during this era.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
The Platonic ideal of a 1950s biographical movie. Hardly a word or a
scene is believable. It's so stilted and unimaginative that I rooted
for it to win.
When I was a kid the theaters were filled with nonsense like this, colorful life stories of extremely famous celebrities nobody ever heard of, and gaudy musicals with songs from the Old Stone Age, all from the teens and 1920s. It wasn't until some years had passed that I realized that, for most of the audience, these people, events, and songs were still alive in their memories, no farther behind them than the Beatles are behind us.
Grover Cleveland Alexander, a Nebraska farm boy (Reagan), is a natural pitcher who is discovered by a minor league team and plays ball for them during the summer. The problem is that his girl friend (Day) doesn't want him to be a baseball player. She wants to settle down with him on a nice farm with a picket fence and a rose garden and build a stable home. Already the movie has left originality behind on a distant horizon, hidden in a cloud of stirred-up Nebraska loess, and it's only fifteen minutes into the story.
But never mind. Day moons over the conundrum for a while longer and then decides to marry him anyway, after he's offered a contract with a major league team in Philadelphia.
Alexander is a success in 1911. He's a great pitcher. We know this because there is a montage of Ronald Reagan winding up, throwing a ball past the camera, and leaning into it with a big grin. There is also a montage of a proud and smiling Doris Day pasting newspaper clippings, bespeaking triumph, into a huge scrap book labeled in gilt "Grover Cleveland Alexander".
Little did they know that tragedy lay just around the corner. Somewhere along this time line -- I forget exactly where in Alex's dazzling rise to fame -- he gets clipped by a bean ball and is knocked out. He wakes up with diplopia -- seeing two of everything. Now, this is unwelcome news for a famous baseball pitcher, and Alex retires to the farm for a year, unreconciled to his disorder -- partly because he's convinced he can still PITCH if only it weren't for his eyes, and partly because he can't spell diplopia.
Then -- a miracle! He wakes up at night, goes to shut the window, and he sees only ONE MOON! And before you know it he's back in the game. However, tragedy lies just around the corner. No, no, the diplopia is gone for good. This is a different tragedy.
It's 1918 and World War I is upon us. Alex is drafted and is an artillery sergeant. The constant booming of the cannons makes him a little hard of hearing but, worse than that, he begins to get dizzy spells. After a triumphant return from the war, a dizzy spell causes him to pass out on the mound. The spells return. Alex sees a doctor in secret who tells him gravely that "science doesn't know much about these things." He is SO right, because doctors are not screenwriters. Writers know all the details of mysterious illnesses -- what the symptoms are, when they should appear and when they should go away. Based on Alex's description of the symptoms, my Dx is temporal lobe epilepsy. That will be ten cents.
The mysterious dizzy spells cause him to start drinking and he winds up a bum in some shabby carnival as so many heroes of these biopics must -- Joel McRae in "Buffalo Bill", Tyrone Power in "Nightmare Alley." He's rescued by an offer to return to the majors by an old friend, with the complicity of Doris Day, and a gigantic hole appears in whatever logic the plot holds. His dizzy spells disappear on the pitcher's mound, as long as he can look into the stands and catch the refulgent splendor of Doris Day's big white grin. At the very end, at the most critical moment, with the Yankees at bat and the bases loaded and the count three and two, Day is delayed in reaching Yankee Stadium, and Alex looks worried and sweaty, and the shapes begin to waver and shift, and -- and -- I had to close my eyes because I couldn't stand the tension so I can't tell you what happened.
I applaud this movie because instead of just one tragedy -- either the double vision or the dizzy spells -- you get two. This ratchets up the suspense to the Red Alert level. Also, Doris Day is mighty saucy.
Don't miss this if you want to see a typical biographical flick from the 1950s. Definitely see it if you want to know why "they don't make 'em like this anymore" and feel happy that they don't.
Ronald Reagan as Grover Cleveland Alexander, a telephone lineman and would-be farmer in early-1900s Nebraska who harbored one of the best pitching arms in baseball history. First pitching for the Phillies, and later the Cubs and the Cardinals, Alexander was sidelined continually in his career by a baseball accident, the war of 1917, and finally blackouts which were falsely attributed to alcoholism. This Warner Bros. throwaway isn't especially well-written or well-made, with archival footage and false backdrops making up the final third, however Reagan is very appropriate for the lead. Top-billed Doris Day (as Grover's saintly, determined wife) is around for moral support and romantic uplift; Day does what she can with the role, though the part as written is fairly preposterous. **1/2 from ****

Overall not that bad, always go to clas. Write some notes. study the notes he gives out for test reviews easy A. No homework, maybe one. Does getoff topic sometimes. Loves to play the guitar def would recomend him just do your work and you'll pass!
Jim is a pretty chill guy. He's patient and encouraging, and he's one of the best music teachers I've had. I'm not in any of his guitar classes, but the guitar players (both beginners and advanced)seem to really like him and learn a lot from him. I highly recommend him.
This was the first time he taught this class and he did a great job, he was wholeheartedly interested in the subject and is a musician himself. Made the class very interesting. Hardly any homework, easy A.
Jim's one of the best music teachers at NLC. He's funny and he really cares about his students. As long as you come to class and show your effort, you can get a good grade.
Quite possibly the best teacher I've ever had. He is very easy to get along with and is a beast at the guitar and bass. He definatly knows what hes talking about. And he's just a foxy guy in general.
Took his music appretiation class during summerII it was boring..his lectures will make u fall asleep...test are not too easy...grading is fair...he's helpful and will work with you so you can pass.....
Professor Eger (who prefers to go by his first name) is the quintessential guitar expert. He'll show you things just a little over your head, forcing you to rise to the challenge. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Tuesday's ESPN.com report that NASCAR is considering bringing the Camping World Truck Series to Eldora Speedway in 2013 has brought into question whether or not the trucks can even compete on Eldora's half-mile, high-banked clay surface.
The ARCA Racing Series competes at many of the same venues as the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, but it also competes on a pair of dirt tracks – at Springfield Raceway and the DuQuoin Fairgrounds Speedway.
The ARCA race car is merely a modified classic Sprint Cup Series chassis, leading many to believe the Truck Series' transition from asphalt to dirt will not be as expensive or complicated as some are speculating.
Frank Kimmel, the nine-time ARCA Series champion, is one such believer.
Kimmel won the only dirt race of the season at Springfield and is ARCA's career wins leader on dirt. He disagreed with the notion it would be expensive for a Truck Series owner to prepare an entry for Eldora and said ARCA teams use the same cars on dirt they previously used on paved ovals.
"We use our short track car on the dirt tracks," Kimmel told SB Nation. "It's not expensive at all. The only adjustments we have to make during the transition is changing the springs and shocks and paying extra attention to our cooling system."
Bill Venturini is one of the most successful owners in ARCA history and agreed with everything Kimmel said. He added his team used to prepare dirt-only cars as recently as 10 years ago, but that advances in technical innovation and rule changes have allowed his team to also use its short track cars on dirt.
Venturini told SB Nation the Truck Series could easily race on a track like Kansas this weekend and turn around the following week and race the same cars on the dirt at Eldora.
The only concern Venturini has lies in the surface of Eldora, which has more dirt clumps than both Springfield and DuQuoin. Eldora also has numerous bumps and divots, which a dirt Late Model car can easily navigate but is likely to flip the heavier Truck Series frame.
"A dry, slick dirt track just won't work," Venturini said. "With a late model, you can get crossed up (spinning-out loose) and still fight the car around the corners. That's not the case with these heavier stock cars.
"But Tony Stewart knows how to groom a dirt track and I have no doubt that he could prepare the track to meet NASCAR's standards. It's a fantastic little facility and would provide a lot of action. Frankly, the Truck Series needs a track like Eldora."

SALISBURY, Md. - A Wicomico County student accused of raping another in a school hallway earlier this week has been released on bond after being arrested on a firearm charge.
The Wicomico Bureau of Investigations says on Thursday, around 11:00 AM, the Wicomico Sheriffs' Office and the Maryland State Apprehension Team arrested 17-year-old Jocori Scarborough on an outstanding arrest warrant. The arrest stems from evidence found during a search and seizure warrant at Scarborough's home on South Maryland Avenue, in Delmar, on May 6th.
Police say Scarborough was arrested without incident. He has been charged with possession of a firearm by a minor. Scarborough was arrested on Tuesday, after a 15-year-old female student reported being raped by him in a Parkside High School hallway, on Monday morning.
Anyone with additional information is asked to contact the Wicomico Bureau of Investigations at 410-548-4898 or Crime Solvers at 410-548-1776.

Howdy would you mind sharing which blog platform you're working with?
I'm planning to start my own blog soon but I'm
having a hard time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something unique.
P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to ask!
