Wow, Lars-Von-Trier-Is-A-Dick-At-A-Press-Conference-Gate just keeps running and running, doesn't it? The troublemaking director managed to totally overshadow the quality, or otherwise (the film's attracted the most divisive reaction of a festival that's already seen little consensus on its films) of "Melancholia" by behaving in his usual provocative manner at the film's press conference yesterday. The headline-happy helmer told assembled reporters that "Ok. I'm a Nazi... For a long time I thought I was a Jew and I was happy to be a Jew... I found out I was actually a Nazi. Which also gave me some pleasure. My family were German. What can I say? I understand Hitler…I sympathize with him a bit... I don't mean I'm in favor of World War II and I'm not against Jews, not even Susanne Bier. In fact I'm very much in favor of them. All Jews. Well, Israel is a pain the ass but…"
It was a stream-of-consciousness bit designed to get a rise out of the crowd, but even von Trier perhaps couldn't have anticipated the degree of that rise: there was an immediate uproar, and Cannes organizers condemned the director's comments. Von Trier issued an apology, saying that "If I have hurt someone this morning by the words I said at the press conference, I sincerely apologise. I am not antisemitic or racially prejudiced in any way, nor am I a Nazi." As was more or less evident to anyone who, you know, actually listened to the actual words he was saying. But the mea culpa apparently wasn't enough -- the "Melancholia" party was canceled, and, as Deadline are reporting this morning, the festival bosses have now declared the Danish director "persona non grata" on the Croisette.
The festival issued a statement this morning, which reads:
The Festival de Cannes provides artists from around the world with an exceptional forum to present their works and defend freedom of expression and creation. The Festival's Board of Directors, which held an extraordinary meeting this Thursday 19 May 2011, profoundly regrets that this forum has been used by Lars Von Trier to express comments that are unacceptable, intolerable, and contrary to the ideals of humanity and generosity that preside over the very existence of the Festival.
The Board of Directors firmly condemns these comments and declares Lars Von Trier a persona non grata at the Festival de Cannes, with effect immediately.
If we may, we'd like to highlight four of those words quickly: "freedom of expression and creation." Yes, the director was being a prize ass, to the surprise of absolutely no-one. But we'd think that the official reprimand, and subsequent apology would have been the end of the story, without the need to blacklist the director. If Von Trier had stood up and outlined racial supremacist views, that would have been one thing, but he was nowhere near that, and even clarified his views at the time, and to ban Von Trier from the festival only a few days after parading Mel Gibson, a man on record as making genuinely racist and anti-Semitic statements, down the red carpet for the out-of-competition premiere of "The Beaver," a move designed to generate publicity just as much as Von Trier's comments were, is an act of staggering hypocrisy.
Update: You can now watch Von Trier's comments for yourself in the video below. Not exactly "Triumph of the Will," is it?

I'm sorry did no one understand that he was JOKING!!!! God why do the board of directors have a stick up their ass I mean can't anyone take a joke about Jewish people. He literally said he wasn't against anyone yet you ban him forever. One of the stupidest decisions ever made...

Glad to see that I am not the only who thinks, like Focion, that Kate Muir's stupid question was suggesting if Lars' german roots were connected to his interest in Nazi aesthetic.
When I watched the full conference, I was furious and offended by the racist undertones of the journalist's question and to me Lars's answer was a way of exposing that journalist's racism. Not only that, her question felt to me like a trap she wanted to set Lars on and I am just surprised that she got away with it without any reprimands from the festival.
On another note, what really bothers me in that two-year old story it is how, of all the presses in the world, it is the French press that remains the most offended by what Lars said and who never grasped his dark humour while the other countries did. And what I find ironic is that the same French newspapers who slandered on Lars are the same ones who defended DSK after he raped that hotel maid in May 2011.
To me, this story reveals the back-stabbing tactics of the Press and the hypocrisy of the Cannes Film Festival, who doesn't know how to discipline the journalists they invite; journalists who tend to turn the press conferences into trials.
So to me, the only mistake Lars von Trier ever did was wasting his time doing press conferences for idiots that never had any respect for him.
focion | May 21, 2011 12:22 PM
Kate Muir`s question was: "Can you talk a bit about your german roots an the gothic aspect of this film? And also you mentioned in a danish film magazine, that you`re interested in the Nazi-aesthetic and you talked about that german roots at the same time, can you tell us a bit more about that?"
This "at the same time" sounds indeed strange in my ears, although i`m not a native english speaker. Isn`t it like suggesting, as remy wrote, that there might be a causal connexion between his biological descent and his interest in Nazi aesthetic. Or am i totally wrong?
Here`s the link to the interview Muir is talking about:
zatopek | May 19, 2011 12:52 PM
So, the Times reporter asked about his German roots and his views of Nazi aesthetic which he had said that he admired in an earlier interview. That's clearly insinuating that maybe von Trier had some sort of Nazi ties/sympathies/whatever. Maybe they should ban Kate Muir of The Times from Cannes press conference also?
JD | May 19, 2011 12:47 PM
Does this mean he's also banned from winning awards?
Gatz | May 19, 2011 12:32 PM
Looks like LVT's taking home the Palme D'oh!
Ryan | May 19, 2011 9:44 AM
It's such bullshit. Everyone's giving Terrence Malick a hard time for not attending the press conference, but filmmakers shouldn't. If you say the wrong thing, you'll get banned. Common's not allowed to attend Cannes, either. Mel Gibson, always welcome.
Christopher Bell | May 19, 2011 9:03 AM
He just can't tell a joke and at some point during what he was saying he realized that he couldn't formulate his thoughts/points properly and was probably sounding very questionable.
The controversy is being very select with their quotes with this one - not only missing his uncomfortable tone but also "Look, I don't condone the second world war" or "How do I get out of this sentence" - doesn't seem like a provocation at all, just something that poured out of his mouth in the wrong way.
dudu | May 19, 2011 4:48 AM
Each year he has to raise the bar to get some attention.
I do love the "Israel is a bit of a pain in the ass" line, though.
Kathleen Walsh | May 19, 2011 3:29 AM
After watching the clip, and in the context of the Melancholia review posted by Kevin yesterday, describing the exploration of depression that Von Trier has experienced himself, I just feel really bad for the guy. I don't think he had intentions to drum up publicity or get a rise out of anyone in saying that, I think he's just not in the practice of censoring himself or expressing himself in those bland, safe press conference-ready soundbites. You could see by the end that he realized he said something he shouldn't have, and he was talking about it in the first place because it was brought up by a reporter. Yes, it was stupid he said those things. I feel bad that he is being so publicly raked across the coals for it.
mary | May 19, 2011 3:22 AM
Lars von Trier responds to the ban. (As expected, he says that he is definitely not Mel Gibson)
Alex | May 19, 2011 2:59 AM
I'm fairly certain that this is all staged. It's not like it's the first time Lars has ever said anything incendiary at Cannes. And it's not like he's the first director to do so either. And I'm sure other directors have said worse. Surely there has to be a Godard quote from the late 60s-early 70s that was comparable to this. He's been a Cannes darling his entire career; I feel like this is all part of the LvT show and that this year, he's stepping it up a bit.
Almost certainly, he'll be back to premiere his next film and it will have the controversy built in because of this and so he won't need to say anything at all next time out.
Afandi | May 19, 2011 2:49 AM
I love this guy. TOO BAD he could not keep his mouth shut.
Pierre | May 19, 2011 2:37 AM
Correct me if I'm wrong but they will still uphold his freedom for creativity and expression through cinema. His films aren't banned, right? Just him?
Ken | May 19, 2011 2:32 AM
This is shocking. Isn't LVT like a Cannes Film Festival staple? i wonder how he'll react to this and if there'll be anyway to overturn this
Nik Grape | May 19, 2011 2:28 AM
Completely retarded. Hopefully they will revise their decision because he was obviously joking and anyone with half a mind who watched the press conference knows this.
I might sound wrong here but had von Trier joked about Stalin, Milosevic, Hussain or pretty much ANY other tyrant other than Hitler, I doubt he'd be banned. My feeling is comment "Israel is a bit of a pain in the ass" is what hit the final nail in the coffin.
Ludicrous. If he wins the Palme (unlikely) I'd laugh till no end.
Remy | May 19, 2011 1:11 AM
This is absolute bullshit. If anyone actually watched that segment of the press conference- Roger Ebert posted it via Facebook- there is no way they could've taken LVT seriously... he was just....mumbling in an obvious joking manner, in fact he was semi-articulate. The extremes that people will go to protect PC-ness are shameful and ridiculous.

There is something which unites magic and applied science while separating both from the 'wisdom' of earlier ages. For the wise men of old the cardinal problem had been how to conform the soul to reality, and the solution had been knowledge, self-discipline, and virtue. For magic and applied science alike the problem is how to subdue reality to the wishes of men: the solution is a technique: and both, in the practice of this technique, are ready to do things hitherto regarded as disgusting and impious.--C.S. Lewis, The Abolition of Man (New York: Macmillan, 1955 paperback ed. of the 1947 original), pp. 87-88, emphasis mine

It is always amazing to me that C.S. Lewis saw what he saw many years before others could see, let alone understand.
I can remember a personal revelation of this kind when I was re-reading The Great Divorce days after General Convention agreed to approve the episcopal election of V. Gene Robinson in 2003. In chapter 5 (I believe) a bright spirit from heaven engages in a conversation with one of the ghosts who turns out to be an Episcopal Bishop who is living in hell (because of his apostasy) and had decided to visit the outskirts of heaven. The Bishop ends up choosing to go back to hell because he realizes he will miss an important lecture that he is scheduled to give. The topic? How much more God could have accomplished through Jesus had he not died so young. I read in stunned amazement as that conversation played out in a book written nearly 60 years before those CG events.
C.S. Lewis is clearly one of God's greatest gifts of the 20th century for Christian minds. Thanks for pointing this out to me, again. Father Harmon.May 23, 9:12 pm | [comment link]

This is indeed a quote to ponder, and I must have reread it a dozen times today. Thanks for the brain food!
It daunts me a bit (okay, a lot) to contradict the author of my beloved Screwtape Letters (a man no doubt far wiser than I'll ever be), but I'm not sure I agree. I think some of Homo sapiens' greatest triumphs and most important progress have come from our repeated refusal to accept "reality" as we inherited it. Out of that refusal came the abolition of slavery, the eradication of smallpox, and greater rights for women, to name just a few top-of-mind examples.
I realize those struggles can include times when people do "things hitherto regarded as disgusting and impious." A couple of examples come to mind from America's agonizing journey toward racial equality. In 1902 (I think), Theodore Roosevelt invited Booker T. Washington to the White House for a meal. Countless Americans were shocked and horrified, and decades passed before another black guest set foot in the mansion. In my own lifetime, Virginia had laws—rooted in a vision of God's plan for separate races—against interracial marriage. The laws stayed on the books till the Supreme Court struck them down. All this to say an earlier age's standards for disgust might not always serve us well today.May 23, 10:17 pm | [comment link]

I visited on a Sunday and the place was dead. There wasn't even any background music.
The chicken was stone cold so I had to ask for a replacement.
The portions were disappointing – even the fries came in a small pot.
The chicken was dry because the sundried tomato sauce was a paste rather than a sauce. The waiter messed up the bill and added a dessert that we did not order. The Poulet Rouge ale is very good though and the restaurant decor is quite quirky
I really wanted to love this place since I live nearby, but I would sadly visit nando's any day over this place. Where the chicken is served hot and juicy with plenty of tasty sauces and good portions all for less money!

Elmer "Mike" Smith is a cool Pirate with the short career I think deserves a little mention. He batted .325/.416/.466 for 7 years for the Pirates in the 1890s. wRC+ in the area of Al Kaline and Vladimir Guerrero. Also led the American Association in ERA for Cincinatti in 1887 before becoming a hitter in his seven years with them, really good guy to use in trivia to confuse moderately intelligent baseball fans into guessing Babe Ruth when asked about the first player to finish in the top 5 in ERA and OPS at some point in their careers. The Pirates history is so rich that players like him completely fall into the cracks and don't get mentioned. I mean, if Arky Vaughan, a pretty much consensus top 5 all time shortstop, barely gets a mention then what's the odds of a guy like Elmer Smith, simply a great player for 7 seasons, getting his due?
The man was born in Pittsburgh and died in Pittsburgh, but baseball wise his career was sandwhiched by Pittsburgh. He started his career with the Cincinatti Red Stockings in 1886 as an 18 year old young man. He only pitched 9 games in his rookie year, going 4-4 with a 94 ERA+ but that was just the beginning. As a 19 year old he didn't just improve, he dominated. He led the American Association with a 2.94 ERA in 52 games pitched, (49 of those being complete, being 1887 and all). He went 34-17 and also was the most unhittable pitcher in the league that year, with a league low 8 hits/9 innings. His next year was down from that, his ERA plummetted farther still to 2.74, but the league as a whole improved dramatically in run prevention, to the point his ERA+ dropped from 148 in 1887 to 113 in 1888, still very respectable, and his record was still decent at 22-17 as well. In 348 and a third innings pitched he did not give up a single home run is one of the distinctive features of that year pitching that I felt was worth mentioning. In 1889 the wheels did fall off with him pitching only 203 innings, with a 4.88 ERA, (ERA+ of 81), caused by a sharp uptick in walks and a homer rate that went from under .1 for his first three seasons to .5 in his 4th season.
What was special about his forth season was the emergence of his bat in the eyes of his peers. In his first 3 seasons he performed adequately with the bat, doing really well in his cup of coffee batting wise in 1886 and hitting well for a pitcher with .253/.298/.371 and .225/.329/.271 lines in 1888 and 1889, but in 1890 he batted .277/.348/.410, (though at the time they probably only cared he batted above .270, it was the 1880s remember).
From what I have been able to gather, his pitching arm developed problems which led to him becoming a hitter, but I do not have any records of what happened to him baseball wise in his age 22-23 seasons. What I do know is in 1892 he signed for the Pirates as an outfielder and hit .274/.375/.384. It only got better from there, batting .346/.435/.525 in 1893 in his age 25 season, a 158 OPS+ with the raw ops of .960 being 4th in the league. He went on to play well for the Pirates, hitting over .300 every season, until he was traded to Cincinatti again in 1897. He finished his career with Cinci, the New York Giants, and the Boston Beaneaters, (yes there was a team named such).
This might not be the most comprehensive or best post to make about such a man, but I wanted to give him something, and I appreciate all of you taking the time to think about a man who did great work for the Pirates in the era before Wagner. Thank you.

What does it mean? Emily and Michael
"What does it mean?" is a continuing series where we ask a blogger how they brought meaning into their wedding. Today we are honored to hear from Emily Westbrooks and her husband, Michael. Emily is the blogger of From China Village.
"When Michael and I got married in 2008, I don't think I fully realized how much it would end up meaning to us that we tried to create a mix of my American traditions and Michael's Irish culture at our wedding. Only hours after our wedding, we decided to move to Dublin, where Michael was raised, and four years later we're still here! In retrospect, our wedding was kind of our send off, so I'm now especially glad we got the chance to celebrate with hints of the culture I now live with every day!
Michael and I met at Colby College during our senior year. Colby has special meaning in my family – it's where my parents met, where my father now works, and even where my high school graduation was held! For most of the planning period, Michael was living in Spain, where he played professional basketball. When the basketball season was over, Michael returned to Maine and joined the planning process a few months before the wedding. I was surprised he had so many opinions after I was the sole decision maker for so long! In the end, though, it made up the perfect blend of both of us.
Michael insisted that we have traditional Irish-style speeches during dinner. Not American toasts, but full 5-10 minute speeches from both our fathers, the best man and maid of honor, and the groom. Having never attended an Irish wedding, I was nervous that they'd be too long, but those speeches are some of my best memories of the wedding. Everyone put so much thought and care into their words as they welcomed new people into their families. And the speeches allowed some of our guests to take part in another (slightly tacky but fun!) Irish tradition – betting on how long they'll last!
Finally, one of the most special pieces of our wedding was that my grandmother made my dress. She had made my mother's and aunt's dresses for their weddings, so I always had it in the back of my mind that I would love for her to make mine. I will always remember our afternoons together spent measuring, pinning and tucking.
Overall, we remember our day fondly and often!"
Thanks Emily and Michael!

What does it mean? Elaina and Mark
"What does it mean?" is a continuing series where we ask a blogger how they brought meaning into their wedding. Today we are honored to hear from Elaina Keppler and her husband, Mark Alberti. Elaina is blogger of Fint og Deligt. She and her husband live in Copenhagen, Denmark.
"In a lot of ways, the things we didn't do or didn't have for our wedding were just as meaningful as those we did. Since our wedding date was somewhat set for us by the Danish Immigration Service (Mark's Danish, I'm Canadian), we were free to break from a lot of wedding conventions. I found inspiration in prewar wedding traditions, when weddings were much simpler. We were married at City Hall, had a cake and champagne reception at our home and then went for dinner with our immediate family. Although I love a big party, we found this wedding model fit best with our values and for the kind of family we wanted to become. We were also able to focus on the things most important to us – family and friends, food, and photography – and leave the rest out. It was also really important to me that our wedding had a small environmental impact, which helped keep things simple as well.
Some of the little things that made it meaningful: – Knowing how much it meant to my dad that I was wearing my grandmother's wedding ring. – Receiving a surprise bouquet from my husband the morning of our wedding, after I had hastily decided that having one would be "too much fuss". – Getting married on the eight year anniversary of having gone on our first "date" to the beach."

What does it mean? Alison and Eric
"What does it mean?" is a continuing series where we ask a blogger how they brought meaning into their wedding. Today we are honored to hear from Alison Faulkner and her husband, Eric Robertson. Alison is the one woman show of The Alison Show, a blog and series of DIYs.
"My husband and I are very different, but we both place a lot of value in two things: creativity and making others feel included. I think we brought meaning to our wedding by showcasing our creative talents, and by creating what is still talked about (almost 5 years later) as an epic dance party.
My husband is a composer and musician, so at our wedding he played the song he wrote and used to propose to me. He played it on a keyboard for all of our guests, and the parts he couldn't play live, he recorded digitally. I loved watching my friend's and family be in awe of his talent, a talent I continue to be in awe of.
"I've worked in advertising, design, and now write mostly about crafts and how to party with style. I didn't want just a wedding; I wanted a full-blown conceptual masterpiece. We went for "Lovebirds" concept with a 1940's feel to reflect my vintage engagement ring. I was able to put my creative touches on almost every detail, with the help of the wedding planner so I wouldn't turn into a crazy dictator. I worked with so many creative geniuses that the whole thing turned into a creative love fest, and this was really meaningful to me. I loved hearing people "ooh" and "aww" at all the little touches.
At the wedding dinner the night before the wedding, we taught all of the wedding party and relatives a choreographed dance, and this was KEY in getting everyone up and dancing when it was time to party. That and I think the invitations telling people they were coming to "Eat, love and boogie" didn't hurt either.
Looking back I'm so glad I reached out for help even though planning and crafting are things I love so much. If I hadn't asked for help I would have been too wrapped up in the details and crafts and I would have forgotten about the people. And that's what a wedding's all about, right? People coming together and having a giant love fest."
Thank you, Alison and Eric, for being a part of "What does it mean?"

What does it mean? Charlotte + Daniel
"What does it mean?" is a continuing series where we ask a blogger how they brought meaning into their wedding. Today we are honored to hear from Charlotte Rivers and her husband Daniel. Charlotte is a design and lifestyle writer living in England by the sea. She is the blogger of Lottie Loves, a blog featuring the lovely things that inspire her.
My husband and I married in the winter in a beautiful church in West London. We then piled all our guests onto London buses and took them to a local pub where we ate amazing food, drank lots of fine wine and had our friends spin some records late into the night. It was the most special day made all the more special by our amazing family and friends that were there with us… Aside from the memories of the day itself what we really loved about our wedding, and the lead up to it, was that we involved as many of our creative friends (and ourselves) in the process as possible. We designed the invitation, order of service, menus and coasters ourselves and had them letterpress printed (of course!). My best friend wrote on the black boards in the pub in her beautiful calligraphic handwriting. She also wrote the heart shaped signs for the tables which were named after different towns in Australia (where my late mother and her family are from). Another best friend came from India with a bag full of beautiful silk butterflies she'd made which she dotted around the walls of the pub. My little brother and his fiance created all the confetti cones and handed them out to our guests. Two of our friends sang during the service. My husband's auntie created the beautiful flower arrangements that we had on the tables and around the pub, and my seven (!) wonderful bridesmaids created all of their bouquets, and mine. Finally my best friend's father created our super original cake topper (he is a Royal Academician you know) which sat on top of our simple white wedding cake which was made by Meg Rivers Cakes (a company started by my late mother).

What does it mean? Ashley & Andreas
"What does it mean?" is a continuing series where we ask a blogger how they used their wedding as an expression of their union with their significant other. Today we are honored to hear from Ashley and Andreas Ludaescher. Ashley is a photographer of travel and weddings and blogger of Chasing Heartbeats. She and her husband live in Berlin, Germany.
I am originally from California and met Andreas while I was working in Germany's beautiful Black Forest. When we started to plan our wedding we knew we wanted something small and intimate, a long weekend for our families and friends to relax and get to know one another. The location was the easiest decision we made, as we got engaged in Cape Cod and it has always been one of my favorite places in the world, in addition to the fact that it is pretty close to half way between our two homes. Another reason it is so close to my heart is that my family has so much history there. My grandfather grew up in Cape Cod and later in his life built his sister a little lakeside cottage there, which is now my family's little home away from home. The property it sits on has been in our family so long that it was originally paid for in British Pounds! Andreas has also grown to love Cape Cod the way I do, and we wanted to share it with the rest of our family and friends who had never visited before.
The ceremony and reception was held at the same location where our guest stayed, a rustic lakeside resort with 9 little cabins complete with canoes and sandy beach. The ceremony itself was held under a grouping of trees next to the lake and our 44 guests held hands in a circle, which literally surrounded us with love. We wrote our own vows, mine were spoken in English and Andreas replied back to me in German so everyone there could understand- and the vows were both playful and romantic.
We were married by my uncle who is a fantastic writer and incredibly creative. He came up with the idea of having all our guests literally "tie the knot"- each guest wrote their name on a piece of fabric and used rope to tie their piece to those next to them, which tied not only Andreas and I together as a couple, but our family and friends together as well. It was not only a lovely idea, it is a keepsake from the wedding we will always cherish.
After the ceremony we had planned to go out in my boat "Lady Jane" to spend our first few married moments just the two of us out on the lake. Unfortunately it looked like a storm was rolling in as we started the ceremony, but magically as soon as we headed out in my boat, we were graced with the most incredible sunset I have ever seen- it was extraordinary. My mama said it was my late grandparents wedding gift to us, as they were there in spirit, celebrating right alongside us.

AshleyDehaven:I use breathable bumpers. My son got his leg stuck between the bars twice and wound up with a nasty bruise. So i found breathable ones with the best reviews i could find, then when they got here buried my face in them to insure they were in fact easily breathable. When he starts standing on his own i will probably have to remove them, but until then i feel it's necessary for my little guy.
this exactly. dD got her leg stuck so bad DH thought he would need to break the crib.
amberhoon:We use them bc DS really moves around a ton and flails, lol. Just today I lowered his crib and before I put them back in DH put him in the crib and within 30 seconds he bashed his head and now has a bump. I put them in after I felt confident he could move away from them and once he really started moving in the crib.

Category — New Zealand
New Zealand Windpower: Great Winds, Bad Electricity
The steady winds of New Zealand have allowed the country's wind turbines to have the highest capacity factors for the wind in the world (around 37–40 percent). However, wind still has a cost premium to alternatives and is intermittent. In addition, output is about 10 percent below average in the autumn and early winter when it is most needed in New Zealand. The country's abundant hydro resources (and pumped storage) cannot rescue wind from its intermittency and seasonality problems.
Prospectively, greater reliance on wind from government edicts is throwing good money after bad. Non-intermittent sources are far cheaper, not just reliable. A let-the-market-decide policy is needed in New Zealand as for the rest of the world.
The enthusiasm for renewable energy in the form of windpower, marine power, and the like, is driven by a belief that man-made greenhouse gases will cause dangerous global warming and that large-scale adoption of these technologies will "fight climate change." To this end, thousands of megawatts (MW) of heavily subsidized wind power capacity are being added worldwide each year. [Read more →]

I haven't done a film session in a very long time and honestly been really looking forward to getting one done. These are very time consuming, so I don't expect to pump these out once a week like last season. This is for your viewing pleasure because this was the epitome of letting Tony Romo do what he does best, airing it out and playing aggressive football. Allowing Romo to go out and make the big plays needed to win the game in crunch time was the right decision and we should see this every week unless the running game is overly effective.
Someone wanted me to make a comment about Dez Bryant's ball security and fumbling issues potentially throwing games away. Maybe he needs to smarten up there, but this play right here and frankly that entire drive, Dez was money and showed why he is one of the best receivers in the league. He made two mistakes, but his play in the rest of the game made up for it. What he did on the final drive of the game in the clutch erases those mental errors because he is the type of player who can take the game over.
This play also exposes a major weakness in the New York Giants defense. With Trumaine McBride out, this forced Antrel Rolle to come down into the slot and cover Dez. Chalk this up to the Dallas coaching staff seeing an opportunity and taking it. They saw a weakness, then seized their moment to capitalize. Good coaches do this, and good teams have success because of that.
This play comes after Tyron Smith's false start penalty on third down. This forced the team from a manageable 3rd and 2, into a 3rd and 7. Jason Pierre-Paul may have leaned forward and forced him to start early, but whatever, it is what it is and we got the wrong side of the call.
Dallas comes out with a bunch trips formation towards the left sideline. Jason Witten, Miles Austin and Dez Bryant make this a unique personnel for this set. I've circled safety Antrel Rolle because with the injury to cornerback Trumaine McBride, Rolle must now come down into the slot and cover either a WR or TE. Will Hill and Ryan Mundy stay back as the safeties, with Terrell Thomas on Terrance Williams lined up wide and Prince Amukamara originally lines up on the other side to take Bryant.
There will be man coverage up front and Miles Austin motions out of the trips bunch and sets up outside. This then shifts the Giants coverage alignment into one high safety and man to man press at the line. Safety Will Hill now has to come up into the box to take Witten, Rolle takes Bryant and Amukamara takes Austin.
Thomas is on an island with Williams on the other side of the field and Mundy will have to make a decision later in this play. Does he shade over to give Thomas help or come up on one of the other routes that will develop in front or to the side of him?
I'm not leaving the linebackers out, we'll get to them later in the play, but they have cheated towards the line and appear to be coming on a blitz.
Before the snap, Romo makes one more change to play and gives one of his receivers a hand signal. Tony has become very good at pre-snap reads and with the impending blitz, this could have been a hot route. He may have adjusted or changed a route here, or it could have been nothing more than a decoy, we shall never know these types of things and can only offer an educated guess.
The theory of getting the best matchup possible here was executed by the coaching staff because of great play design. Williams runs a go route on the outside and carries Thomas up the field. Mundy still needs to decide whether to stay over there or shade up on an underneath route. Witten will carry his man inside towards the middle of the field. Austin will take his route back inside and Dez will attempt to free up back outside from the slot.
Moving Dez to the slot here was the type of stuff we need to see more of the next few weeks and longer.
At this point, you can see the dilemma the Giants face. Either Austin is going to take his route across the middle of the field and have a serious opportunity to have some yards after catch, but the impending threat of the pick about to be set is going to free up Dez for a potential big play.
With the pick finally set in motion, Rolle and Amukamara get too close into each other and the coverage now has been compromised. Both Austin and Bryant will have a step on their man.
Look at the amount of room Austin could have, seeing this the safety attacks towards that side of the field to offer help to his cornerback. Dez is beginning to take his route up the field now.
Taking a step backwards, this is what Romo saw before he made the pass. Jon Beason and Jacquian Williams will both blitz on this play. What has killed the Cowboys offense in the past? A-Gap blitzes and trust me teams around the league know that.
In the first game of the season, Williams ran a successful stunt on Doug Free. This time he wasn't as successful but the Giants remembered the stunts and gap blitzes that worked and attempted to use them again
In this shot, you can see the linebackers blitz and the defensive lineman run the stunt. Frederick and Bernadeau do a great job of picking this up and Murray steps up in the right gap.
The entire offensive line did a fantastic job here. Both the tackles take their man out of the play on an island with no help. The guards, center and running back all pick up the stunts and blitzers without a problem. Because of their ability to eliminate the threat of the pass rush, Romo is able to stand tall and make an excellent throw to Dez on the back shoulder.
Towards the end of his route, Dez has carried Rolle far enough up the field that he will have him on roller skates. Even though he is a former cornerback, Rolle made the change to safety for a reason. He won't have the footwork and anticipation to break on the ball quick on enough because the purpose of the back shoulder gets the defender out of position before the receiver turns around for the ball.
Rolle is all over Dez and honestly, he should have been flagged for pass interference. Had Dallas not converted this play because of that and there was no flag, this really could have cost us the game. Fortunately, Dez is a beast and is physical enough to take the contact and shrug it off on his way to making one of the biggest catches and plays of the game. This was a huge third down conversion and it came with the game on the line. It was an aggressive play that I commend the Cowboys for calling and executing.
Pick routes have killed Dallas recently, and I for one would love to see us start serving them up to other teams and burn them using them.
This was good coaching, great play design and the players executed. This is the type of football playoff teams play, maybe Dallas can begin to pick up where they left off and carry this on the rest of the season.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving and happy holidays everyone!
Chia's Note: Finished this at 2:43 am Eastern, did not proofread, so please don't kill me on any grammatical errors I am really beat! Thanks, just shoot a comment and I will fix any errors, much appreciated!

SMITHS FALLS, Ont. – A Canadian Pacific freight train containing dangerous goods derailed southwest of Ottawa at Smiths Falls.
According to the Transportation Safety Board, five cars went off course, one of which was carrying hazardous materials. However the car is not leaking and does not appear to be dangerous.
Investigators are currently en route to look into the matter.

An interview with Love London author, Barbara Chandler
When did the idea of Love London develop?
Well, my first exhibition of photographs was around 25 years ago, a collection of general work called "Moments". Then I did four big shows on Poland, including one in Warsaw, as I had been visiting a friend there regularly. But London of course was on my doorstep, so I was often out photographing, with no particular agenda. Then I got the chance to exhibit in the Crush Bar of the old Covent Garden Opera House, and I themed the 1995 show around Street Music (I had been photographing a lot of street musicians, often from my stall on Portobello Road). By then I had a sizeable body of London work. The big breakthrough came in 2008, when Habitat on Regent Street put on an exhibition of my London work for a British Day festival, and I suddenly thought: "I could call it Love London." Though it was a bit risky then (and now!) because actually a lot of people strongly dislike London…
Describe what Love London is about
Love London is a compact hardback book with 180 photographs, in colour and black and white, of all aspects London life – from streets, parks and transport to people – and lots more. It's very affordable, at £9.99. I didn't do a coffee table book, as I have always wanted my work to be affordable and accessible. The earliest picture was taken in 1986, of a rag-and-bone-man where I lived in Acton, and the latest at the end of last year in Greenwich Park, just before the snow set it. The pictures are matched with over 100 quotes about London, from a 15th century poem to modern newspaper snippets and a blog. Around the pictures, I am developing a range of merchandise. Working with DigetexHome, images are printed onto fabrics (for example tea towels), and onto paper for wall coverings and murals. Working with The New English, images are being put onto bone china for plates.
But nothing goes forward unless I am truly thrilled to see my work in a new medium.
Describe London as a city in your own words
London is vast in size, history, architecture, art, literature and public spaces such the parks and the river – as we have all discovered. At least two writers have called London illimitable. But you have to not let that worry you, to just relax and let it flow over you, to be receptive, passive even. Then the joys of London come crowding in. You stop feeling worried by what you haven't seen/done, and glory in a present which is glittering with the past.
How many years have you lived in London?
Around 40! You have to remember I am a granny now, with ten grandchildren – and a camera in her handbag.
How would you describe British design?
Ah, design – my day job, so to speak. I've been a specialist writer for over 35 years, on all aspects of the home, decorating, furnishing and the like.. So I have seen a lot of trends come and go. At the moment, I feel we are on a high. We are reaping the rewards of our excellent colleges for training, and avant garde centres for design development, like the Digital Manufacturing Centre in East London.
British design at present, just one decade into a new century, has a distinctive look, quiet, well-mannered and well-made, often in blonde woods. At the same time, British design is not afraid to show wit and humour, or radical new methods of production. We are particular strong at present in pattern with impressive designers who use a mix of techniques with great sophistication. Our designer-makers have matured into a potent force, often making work in small batches (though still original and personal), or even small machine runs, so that products are better-priced and more easily available.
Tell me a little bit about yourself, how long have you been a journalist?
Well I touched on that above – I've been a journalist I suppose for nearly 40 years, as I trained originally on a local paper, and then a trade journal. I have written for a huge range of national and international papers and magazines, been consultant to a majour TV home design programme, and won several awards, including Service ot Design, and National Home Improvement Journalist of the Year.
What does photography mean to you?
Everything. I cannot look anywhere without seeing a picture, whether inside or out. I feel frustrated if I have not taken a picture that day.
How long have you been a photographer?
Around 30 years – I initially taught myself so that I could illustrate my own section on Ideal Home magazine. It was the London shopping digest, a completely new idea at that time. We didn't have any money for photography (then as now!) so I decided to take my own pictures. Once I had a decent camera and basic skills, I started to take "my" pictures – in the street, tube, subways, hotel lobbies, on the beach and so forth. Many of those early pictures are selling very well now – I have framed prints in the art galleries of the Conran Shops, and they also stock my hand-made cards. Each of these is made with a real photo, stuck down by me on white card, with a stamp on the back and on the envelope. I've made thousands and thousands over the years, and some single images have now sold into thousands. I reckon that genuinely makes me a best-selling photographer, and I am very proud of that. I sold my work at Portobello Road for three or four years at the beginning, and that gave me a wonderful background to what people appreciate and indentify with.
How would you describe yourself in 5 words?
Impulsive, extravagant, disorganised, tenacious, loving
What inspires you?
Visually, everything inspires me. But you have to be open to it. You cannot be inspired if you are constantly talking, on a mobile phone or exchanging messages. Of course, interaction is stimulating and productive. But you have to have time on your own to read, to think. Then let the world wash over you, and thus come the ideas. You cannot legislate for them or make them happen. But believe me, they will come, and you just have to make space for them.

The Wolves need a small forward/wing who can both defend and score. Options discussed included adding Rudy Gay via trade or free agency, drafting Evan Turner, or hanging on until the trade deadline/offseason to see if a starter cn be had from teams cutting salary or in need of a point guard.
I'd like to revisit a potential trade that was kicked around last year: Al Jeff for Luol Deng and Joakim Noah.
The Bulls are thiiiissss close to dumping Vinny Del Negro. But the problem with that is they also envision themselves as big potential players in the Free Agent Frenzy next summer. Trying to woo certain stars next summer will be more difficult if the coaching position is up in the air. Plus, Derrick Rose is telling the team that Del Negro has made him a better player, and apparently wants to keep VDN around.
Adding AlJeff would improve their low-post scoring, might open up the perimeter for Hinrich and Salmons, and give the less-offensively-minded-but more-physical 3-4s (Gibson, Johnson, Ty Thomas) more room to move. The Bulls would also still have plenty of cap room left over to dangle in front of DWade.
For the Wolves, Deng is just a year older than Gay, a better player, and makes less than AlJeff (and about what Gay thinks he should be paid). Noah is a better defender than AlJeff, still signed for $2m or so into next year, and could provide some comfort for the enigma that is Corey Brewer. Yes, the Wolves would have to pay to keep Noah after 2010, but they should still have cap and money left over to pay a 2-guard in a trade or free agency pick up.
This is a decent young (and more balanced) roster:
And still leaves lots of room to add an FA at the 2, and/or room for draft picks to play at the 3-4-5.
The questions:
- Would it improve the Wolves?
- Would the Bulls go for it?
- Is it a fair enough deal for the Wolves?
- If not, what pieces can the Wolves/Bulls add into the trade that would still work, but make it more palatable to both teams?

For those who follow the Confidential, we have been weaving through the ACC schools announcing our sports "Mount Rushmore." It is a thankless effort that leads mostly to "WTF" and "why?" criticisms. But it is also kind of fun. It is pretty amazing how much better Syracuse has it than some of the schools so far. We have had so many iconic figures pass through. Anyway, as with the other schools, we are asking for help to pick a 4th figure.
But feel free to criticize (or praise) our first three. Thanks in advance.

The Good Food and Wine show swings into Cape Town today. Sleeves rolled up, salt and pepper at the ready, Cape Town's kitchen-groupies are twitching as excitably as sugared kids at Christmas. The Good Food and Wine Show brings culinary theater, big-name book signings and workshops by world-class chefs. The Chefs In Action Theater brings us the BBC's best chefs in live rapport with local celebs, recreating their most innovative and favourite recipes. For the green-thumbed, prime organic produce is on sale, and the slow food market shows us exactly why slow food is so worth the wait. And with a children's cooking workshop distracting the rugrats, why not let loose a little. It's cocktail o'clock all day
Good Food and Wine Show Cape Town
Taste of Cape Town
For those who autopilot to the golden arches after work, or can't remember when last they consumed a microwave-free meal, it's time to up the steaks ;) In a city that's home to award-winning chefs and internationally acclaimed restaurants, there's no good reason for "just add milk"- eating. This year's Taste of Cape Town festival promises to be a walk-through wonder-lust of tastes,textures and smells. The food festival version of Broadway - boasting big-name chefs, the best restaurants and some wildly good wines. Taste's menu features delicious dishes from Le Quartier Francaise, Bread and Wine, The Cape Colony, Nobu, Bistro1682, Wang Thai, Grande Provence, Societi Bistro, Myoga,

Antony and Cleopatra at Maynardville
What sounds more deliciously cultured than picnics and Shakespeare in the park? In a tradition that has truly stood the test of time, Antony and Cleopatra is Maynardville's 55th annual open-air Shakespeare. This drama of lust and politics is considered one of Shakespeare's most provocative and indulgent works and, despite their contextual grandeur, Shakespeare sensitively reduces them to flawed, mortal lovers of wanting contradiction. Written at the height of his literary capacity, this epic incites some of Shakespeare's most sensual poetry. With excellent reviews and a starry-eyed, award-winning cast - (Tinarie van Wyk Loots (Cleopatra), André Weideman (Antony), Caesar (Andrew Laubscher), Eros (Clyde

Hi again. Sorry to ask yet another question on this topic.
If nobody else is going to want Marquis, why not just hold onto the guy? Who knows when Lieber, being 40 years old, might go down with an injury? Dempster has a history of injury as well. We never know when or if one or both will blow up.
Especially with Marquis pitching so well in ST, why be so quick to trade? Why not keep Dempster as a spot starter or reliever for when one of the starters has a terrible start to save the bullpen? Especially if Gallagher is traded, it would be important to have some insurance and personally I think Marquis has looked far sharper with his sinker than Gallagher has looked. In fact, even pitching against the weaker players in the latter innings this spring training, Gallagher really hasn't looked great.
Anyhow, just asking. Thanks for your input as always. I sort of like having Marquis around.
And please don't give the argument that the Cubs are short on money, especially with the way they jacked up ticket prices yet still fully expect to sell out. That is absolutely ridiculous. If the Red Sox, Dodgers, Angels, and Giants can make multi-year, multi-million dollar mistakes with the likes of JD Drew, Juan Pierre, Mark Schmidt, Gary Matthews, Barry Zito yet still find a way to continue to build through free agency, then we should be able to swallow the relatively medium salary of Marquis who still has a significant amount of value.
Thanks again

With the lockout now officially over and free agency on the horizon, the Eagles have some serious needs that have to addressed. We're all very aware of what positions need to be addressed and most of us are familiar with the players that have been speculated as potential targets for Philly. I'll go more in depth with the potential targets and who I think will be wearing midnight green after the jump.
Defensive End: With Brandon Graham suffering a torn ACL and undergoing microfracture surgery, he certainly won't be ready for the start of the season, and even if he does comeback midseason, I doubt he'll be able to perform 100%. Through the first half of last season, Trent Cole had 7 sacks. The second half of the season he only managed 3 sacks, due to teams being able to gameplan for him and having to face formidable double teams. Juqua Parker is getting old and he too fades down the stretch and is a question mark to even be on the team this season. We have depth in Darryl Tapp, Philip Hunt, and Ricky Sapp, but we need a DE opposite of Cole that can consistently contribute and help take some pressure off the rest of the defenseive line, specifically Cole. There are several options in free agency
Ray Edwards, DE
I think Edwards is the most likely option to end up in Philly, although he isn't my first choice out the FAs. Edwards finished the 2010 season with 8 sacks in 14 games, and in 2009 he had 8.5 sacks in 16 games. He's only 26 years old, so he's still fresh, and he performs consistently throughout the season as he had 3.5 sacks through the first half of last season and 4.5 in the second half. Recent reports have made it seem that Edwards to Philly is very likely to happen, and I'd be happy to see these reports become official.
Charles Johnson, DE
Johnson would be my number one pick to come to the Eagles. He's only 25, he performed well throughout the whole 2010 season, and sort of flown under the radar so far. But there's one problem; He's only had one outstanding season. He had 11.5 sacks and 62 tackles last season, but in 2009 he only had 4 sacks and 25 tackles, and the year before that he only had 6 sacks and 25 tackles. It's a scary thought to spend some money on a guy who's only had one good season, but it's a chance the Eagles might need to take. If Johnson can perform up to his 2010 season consistently, then he would be my number one choice of free agent DE's. However, I don't think it will matter because I think he re-signs with Carolina.
Jason Babin, DE
Babin already had a stint with the Eagles, and it didn't work out as I had hoped. He had flashes of potential during the preseason with the Eagles, but never really performed in the regular season. That all changed when he went to Tennessee. Babin had a monster year with the Titans, recording 12.5 sacks. Some of this can be attributed to the great Jim Washburn, the former defensive line coach of the Titans who now just happens to be our D Line coach. Because of the link between Washburn and Babin, many people have speculated a return to Philly for Babin. I don't see it happening. He's 31, so he's past his prime, and I think he'll demand more money than he's worth. He's had one good season, and there's no reason to break the bank when there are cheaper, younger options.
Cornerback: Do I even need to talk about this one? To make it short, we could've put a piece of cardboard at CB and it would've performed better than what we had last year. Hobbs is expected to retire, and Patterson showed he can't handle a full-time starting role, so what are our options? Frankly, I don't think it matters because I think DRC will be rocking the Eagles uni, but just for shits, let's take a look at the FAs
Nmandi Asomugha, CB
Asomugha is every NFL team's dream player. He's arguably the greatest CB currently in the NFL, and opposing QB's are scared to throw the ball his way. His interception number are so low simply because teams throw the ball away from him. Put two and two together. Less balls thrown towards Asomugha equals more balls thrown towards Asante, which in turn creates more interceptions. And even though some people have been claiming he's "not a good fit" for the new defensive scheme we're going to be running, the man is the best CB in the league. He will thrive, no matter what the scheme is. He will demand an extraordinary amount of money, and I wish the FO would spend the money on him instead of acquring DRC. The one knock on NA is his age, and it's debatable as to whether he'd be worth the money for the few years that he may have left performing at a high level.
Johnathan Joseph, CB
Joseph, in my opinion, is the second best CB in FA, and I think he's a great alternative to Asomugha. For one, he'll demand a lot less money. If the rumors are true that Asomugha wants 19 million a year, then compared to NA, Joseph will cost a bag of bread. He's also younger, at just 27, so he's still in the midst of his prime. While he certainly isn't as talented as NA, he's ten times better than the options we had at RCB last year. If for some reason the DRC deal falls through and Asomugha signs with another team, and I would be extremely elated if we wound up with Joseph.
Ike Taylor, CB
Taylor comes from a defense known for their tenacity and physicality, which is an aspect that we need on our D. Ike is a good cover corner and he tackles well, another attribute missing from our CBs. However, Ike is old (31), and to put it nicely, he has hands of stone. I can recall watching Steelers games where on several occasions he dropped an easy INT that was right in his hands. Even with the age and stone hands, I'd still feel comfortable with him on the right side of the field, but I don't think it'll happen.
Running Back: Obviously the Eagles aren't looking for a starting RB, as we have a highly capable starter in Lesean McCoy. What we could use however, is a back that complements McCoy, someone with power and the ability to stuff it in from the goal line. I don't want to start the season with Dion Lewis or Eldra Buckley as our number two back, and Harrison wants to start somewhere, so I think he'll be out of here.
Michael Bush, RB
Bush is a powerful back, and he's shown flashes of greatness in several games. Even with his power, he still has the ability to bust off long runs. In part-time duty for Oakland, he ran for 655 yards while racking up 8 TDs, and he can also catch the ball out of the backfield, a necessary skill in Andy Reid's offense. He did hurt his case with a drunk driving charge back in February, but I think he'd be a nice secondary option for the Eagles.
Darren Sproles, RB
I know, I know, Sproles isn't necessarily a power back. He's only 5'6", so he isn't suited for a full-time starting role, but the man has a knack for working his way through holes. He has good vision, deceptive speed, and is powerful for his tiny frame. He'd be a good spell for McCoy, and he's a great receiver out of the backfield. He could also handle kick return and punt return duties. He only had 267 yards on 50 carries last season, but listen to this; 520 receiving yards last year. For a part-time back, that is a hell of a lot of receiving yards. If we don't sign Bush, I'd be content with Sproles.
Reggie Bush, RB
Couldn't help it, I had to have a picture of Kim Kardashian in here. Before you guys hound me, I know he's not a free agent, but there's a good chance he could become one. He's going to demand a good chunk of money, but frankly, I think he could be worth it. Imagine the mismatches we could create with McCoy, Jackson, Maclin, Avant, and Bush out on the field. While he certainly hasn't performed up to expectations, he hasn't been a piss poor player either. There have been times where he showed flashes of his USC days, and those flashes alone are enough for me. He can line up out wide, in the slot, at RB, and return kicks and punts. If we have the opportunity to get him for a reasonable price, then I think we should absolutely pull the trigger. His upside is tremendous, and if you can't already tell, I'd love to have this guy on the Eagles.
I'm not going to touch on the backup quarterback situation because I haven't really taken a look at the quarterbacks available. I think if we address these positions, we'll be set to make a Superbowl run and bring the Lombardi Trophy to Philly.

The Yankees can not acquire Mariners left-hander Jarrod Washburn without his approval.
Washburn's limited no-trade protection gives him the right to veto a deal to the Yankees, according to a major-league source.
Washburn, who turns 34 on Aug. 14, is owed the balance of his $9.85 million salary this season and $10.35 million next season.
Players generally require financial compensation to waive no-trade protection, usually in the form of a cash bonus or contract extension.
Just when you thought this contract couldn't be any more hilarious...

Federal officials say crews have nearly finished initial cleanup work at a vacant northern Indiana plant hit by a September chemical fire.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said Friday that crews will complete the first phase of their cleanup next week at the Baycote Metal Finishing site in Mishawaka. The EPA began a federally-supervised cleanup at the former chrome-plating and metal-finishing plant in May.
Since then, about 84,000 gallons of hazardous chemicals and metals have been removed.
A September chemical fire at the site temporarily forced thousands of Mishawaka residents from their homes. That fire began when a contractor placed chemicals too close together at the site.
Crews are suspending work at the plant site for the winter, but will resume the cleanup in the spring.
