Winnipeg Jets
"Bad Faith" and Distrust: A Players' Perspective on the Lockout
Jan 4th
Posted by C in 2011-12 Ramblings
Gary Bettman and the NHL don't seem to get it. They never have. Since Gary took over in 1993, the NHL has seen three lockouts. Briefly, lockouts occur when the league feels that it can no longer sustain its current activities without a freshly negotiated collective bargaining agreement (CBA). Note, the league is the only one who can lockout the players. If the players are the unhappy party, they can go on strike. The CBA serves as a labor contract between the league and the players' union on a plethora of subjects ranging from revenue, to contracts, to pensions, etc., etc.
Under Gary Bettman's tenure, the NHL moved and expanded several teams to non-traditional hockey markets. Some have been successful and won Stanley Cups and filled stands, while others have floundered. The Phoenix Coyotes, originally the Winnipeg Jets, filed for bankruptcy in 2009 and the NHL had to take control of the team and they see some of the lowest attendance numbers in the NHL. The Bettman-expansion Atlanta Thrashers suffered so many losses and ownership struggles, that they moved to Winnipeg to become the new Jets, a city deprived of its original team by Bettman when he moved them to Phoenix to become the failing Coyotes. We can coin this the "Bettman cycle."
In contract law, there is a term called "bad faith." The gist of this term is that one of the parties to the contract intentionally or maliciously used deception to make the other party agree to the contract. We will examine this term with regard to the actions of the NHL.
Reports are surfacing that Bettman attempted a "bait-and-switch" of language in their CBA proposal regarding how the NHL could handle team punishments for hiding revenue (Charles Curtis- NJ.com). The league's language was changed in such a way that Bettman would have sole control of the penalties.
Reports are also surfacing that the owners and their GMs told Gary Bettman, who in turn told the NHLPA, that they would welcome the opportunity to renege some of the contracts they offered to players (Charles Curtis- NJ.com). This of course angered the NHLPA, and why shouldn't it? If someone offered you millions of dollars and wanted to take it back or even dump you from their roster, would you be happy about it or even ok with it? Of course not. Why is Gary Bettman, under the direction of the owners, doing this? Because they want to lower the salary cap of the NHL by ~$10M per year to $60M. That is a ~15% decrease for those not interested in doing the math.
The NHL was in a dire financial state in 2004 when a lockout took away the season. The reason they bounced back was savvy marketing. What could the NHL have possibly been marketing that would appeal to so many people and bring the league back to such great heights? Could it be players? Of course. And it was. Alex Ovechkin- drafted 2004. Sidney Crosby- drafted 2005. Jonathan Toews- drafted 2006. Patrick Kane- drafted 2007. Steven Stamkos- drafted 2008. New, young marketable players, appealing to young fans and fresh faces leading to increasing profits? You don't say.
Fan attendance increased in post-lockout 05-06 for 25 of the 30 teams in the NHL. Moreover, the average cost (tickets, concessions, parking, etc.) for a family of four rose from $256 to $329 in 2011, per Forbes. The value of the average NHL team has increased from $159 million in 2003, to $240 million last year, and average NHL player salary from $1.6M to $2.4M (Forbes). Could it be that the reason more and more kids want to play hockey is due to young talents emerging every year and inspiring them? Could it be that the NHL is seeing record fan interest because the best players in the game are in their early twenties, bringing a new young generation of fans to the game? I think so.
Young, talented players like these are why the NHL was saved after the 2004 lockout. Young, talented players were able to bring more and more fans to the game and in turn allowed the league to increase its salary cap EVERY YEAR for the past 8 years. That is EVERY YEAR since the last NHL lockout. Coincidence? I think not.
In 2012, we saw ENORMOUS contracts being handed out left and right for big name players. Crosby- 12 yrs, $104M; Parise- 13 yrs, $98M; Suter- 13 yrs, $98M; Weber- 14 years, $110M. There were plenty of guys signed in the offseason who were arguably overpaid by their teams. For reference, go read articles by beat writers and read fan Twitters from the summer. Plenty of grumbling. Every one of these contracts was offered to players a few months before the collective bargaining agreement expired. The owners knew that the salary cap would be an issue moving forward in negotiating a new CBA, but they offered these contracts anyway. Here we are, 6-7 months later. It is January of the following year. We are still locked out, the players are not receiving their paychecks, and the owners want to LOWER the cap by 15%. The salary cap is STILL an issue the NHL and NHLPA cannot agree on. There is something fishy about this. I'm not saying that Pittsburgh, Minnesota, and Nashville are the teams responsible for the lockout. BUT, collectively, the owners knew that the CBA was going to expire very shortly after these contracts were signed, and yet they still offered them. Now, they want to lower the cap and the GMs "regret" and want to renege some of the contracts they offered.
The NHL has shown a mechanical unwillingness to negotiate with the NHLPA. A number of times when the league made proposals and the players countered, Bettman and his cronies stood up and walked out of the room. The NHL has used fruitless, and frankly pathetic, language such as "final offer," "only offer on the table," and "take it or leave it" in their negotiations with the NHLPA. Sounds a bit like something a small child would say when he or she doesn't get his way doesn't it?
Since the 2004 lockout, NHL league revenues have increased by nearly 64%. Revenues, of course, don't translate to team profits and there are only a handful of financially viable teams in the league. There are a number of teams struggling financially. Some are struggling due to poor ownership and mismanagement, but others are struggling, because they are in places where hockey fans simply don't exist and hockey teams don't belong in the first place. This falls squarely on the owners and the league, not the players. Still, the players have made concessions. They have agreed to a 50-50 split of revenues, they have agreed to limiting contracts. Still not enough. How does the NHL respond? They behave like stubborn children, say "take it or leave it" and LITERALLY just walk out of the room. They try to make a preemptive strike on the NHLPA by going to court and trying to block the NHLPA from disbanding and filing an antitrust suit against the league.
We've heard from numerous reporters and writers from TSN and various other news outlets that there is a strong sense of distrust between the NHL and the NHLPA. Are you surprised? I'm not. The players are the ones who bring the fans to the stands. The players are the ones whose skills allow teams to market them and bring people to the arenas. Convincing players to sign for their teams by making them believe that they will receive a large amount of money and ultimately wanting to renege those contracts by masquerading under a new collective bargaining agreement? That is the DEFINITION of "bad faith." Putting up with the NHL's unwillingness to compromise, hearing the NHL say "final offer" countless times, watching the NHL storming out of meetings and behave like an 8th grader who just got dumped; do these things seem like the type of behavior that builds trust? Is this behavior expected to be perceived as professional? The question you need to ask yourself is, how would you feel if you were in the players' shoes? Would you be okay with the NHL wanting to renege some contracts? Would you "trust" them? I sure wouldn't.
The NHL needs to keep in mind that the players are the ones who rescued the league after the last lockout. The players will be the ones who will help them bounce back from this lockout. Fans don't come to see Gary Bettman and his golf buddies at hockey games. Fans come to see the Crosbys, and the Ovechkins, and the Toewses. This lockout won't end until the NHL decides to accept this and start showing some more respect to the players.
Old Time Hockey Returns : Blackhawks-Red Wings Rivalry Lives
Dec 7th
Posted by Nakis in 2011-12 Regular Season
I know you were promised this yesterday, but life sometimes gets in the way. Anyway, by now you all know the NHL has approved a radical new realignment plan by a vote of 26-4, splitting the league into four conferences. The Blackhawks will play in a yet to be named conference with the Red Wings, Blues, Predators, Jets, Wild, Stars and Blue Jackets. The reaction around the league has been mostly positive and the league did a good job to accommodate the needs of most of the parties involved.
For Blackhawks fans, the worst case scenario of being stuck in a godforsaken division with St. Louis-Nashville-Columbus and Minnesota was averted and the rivalry with the Detroit stays intact. The NHL already stole the Minnesota North Stars and Toronto Maple Leafs from the Hawks – taking Detroit and leaving us with Columbus and Winnipeg would have been cruel and unusual.
Leavin' on a Jet Plane: Boxing with Blackhawks and High-Speed Aluminum Tubing
Oct 14th
Posted by Bartl in 2011-12 Game Recaps
It's not like me to be so happy about a victory over a team that would probably finish second in a suburban men's league, but there was a lot of good going on tonight. The fact I'm building up this solid effort (from the eight-minute mark on, anyway) is because it's the third game of the season, and things seem to be clicking in places we may not have expected.
Thursday night's 4-3 win over the Winnipeg Jets wasn't perfect by any means, though what transpired for the better part of the contest was the Blackhawks simply flattening an outmatched team and ruining the return of Andrew Ladd and Dustin Byfuglien.
Ray Emery wasn't fantastic, and he looked, well, like a guy who is just getting over the flu at times. Both first-period goals were re-directed by Jim Slater, and they likely would've gotten past most goaltenders. The third? Well, that's where he slipped up a bit, but as I've stated before, there's a reason a backup is a backup.
The one time he came out of the net and tried to pass the puck up ice to get he play started, he gave Byfuglien a gift which he nearly buried. This prompted my fellow season-ticket holder Neil to say of Emery, "He was just tryin' to help a brotha out." Wait, help a brotha … Ohhhh, I get it. They're both African-Americans. I understand now. I'll laugh.
Jonathan Toews committed a hometown turnover which led the first goal, and the amount of in-zone turnovers where beyond counting, though Winnipeg luckily had its share of those issues as well.
I'll get more into what I felt was impressive in Boxing, but I have to say I came away very happy with the play of Dan Carcillo. CarBomb was all over the ice tonight, and in no way did I feel he was out of control. He made solid passes which nearly led to goals, and I think his all-out play and style fit well with the finesse of Patrick Kane and Marian Hossa on that line.
Carcillo's assist game came on a play where he won the puck off the board and fed it to Hossa, who bulldozed through a check to find an open Kaner, who fired it in on a one-timer. If that line continues scoring goals in that style, Carcillo is going to end up being a great pick up and a great match with those two.
Onto Boxing we go. Click the separate images to enlarge…

When the backup goaltender debate was raging, the issue I raised (that everyone, and I mean *everyone* called me nuts for raising) was the prospect of injuries. What do you do if one of our top-two goaltenders gets hurt?
While it's not looking like Corey Crawford isn't healthy enough to go and more simply getting a night off, Ray Emery will start in net for the Blackhawks after battling the flu much of this week.

My question is about Herald of Infernus battling Grudge Weaver, and which effect happens first. The general consensus around my local area is that if my opponent's Herald of Infernus battles my Grudge Weaver and banishes it, Herald of Infernus's "War Cry" effect happens before Grudge Weaver's "Brainbite". In the rules document it states that the losing creature is banished during step 3 of resolving a battle, and "when this creature wins (or loses) a battle" effects happen during step 4 of resolving a battle. This is where my confusion starts - if Grudge Weaver is banished before step 4 shouldn't "Brainbite" happen before "War Cry"? The Local Judge says that banishment effects happen as an "after the battle" effect meaning that they happen during step 6 of resolving a battle not step 3.
Both the "War Cry" ability of Herald of Infernus and the "Brainbite" ability of Grudge Weaver trigger at the same time. The player whose turn it is uses his or her ability first, followed by the opponent's. This all happens in step 4 of the battle sequence detailed in the rules. We'll make sure this is clarified in a future update.

Gimp for writers
Gimp is a free image manipulation program. It is comparable to photoshop. In fact, the photoshop vs. Gimp debated is hotly contested in geek circles. Professional graphic artist insist that Gimp is clunky, not user friendly and doesn't have the resources or power of photoshop. Linux users argue essentially the same things about photoshop.
The fact is that both programs will do almost all the same things, but in different ways. Neither is particularly user friendly. Gimp seems to rely a little bit more on dialogue boxes and photoshop more on clicking and dragging images.
For example to add a new image on top of an existing project, photoshop requires you to open the second image, select it and then copy. Then you go back to your project and paste. In Gimp you go to file–>open as layer and open the image directly into the project. This subtle difference perhaps explains why computer geeks like Gimp and artists tend to like Photoshop.
I have two really simple reasons why I like Gimp over photoshop.
Gimp is free
If you work as a graphic artist, you can write off the cost of photoshop. Like many commercial programs they are moving towards a monthly online subscription plan, ranging from 9.99 a month to as high as eighty dollars a month for professional plans.
If you are a writer who uses image manipulation software occasionally, that's a pretty big cost to eat on an ongoing basis. Gimp is free to download and once you download it, you have it. No subscription fees to worry about ever.
Gimp is Gimp
My biggest frustration with Photoshop is how many different versions of it there are. The ongoing debate between the two program often hinges on this as well. Photoshop pros insist that photoshop has more features. Which may be true of the professional grades, like lightroom. But the most basic Photoshop that comes with many computers has a fraction of the functions that come standard with Gimp.
My complaint is simpler, learning photoshop is harder because there are too many different versions out there. I loathe getting halfway through some neat new tutorial and discovering some step I can't do because my version of Photoshop is different from what the tutor is using. And it seems to happen a lot, to me at least.
Gimp is Gimp. There is one current version. If you download it you get all the basic and advanced functions. Even if you never use the advanced options, it's nice to know they are there. As you grow in your knowledge you won't ever reach a point where you can't try something new due to the limits of the program.
How to get Gimp
Gimp is available as a download from their website: http://www.gimp.org/. Gimp has versions for Windows, Mac and Linux users. A mere 73 mb of data, Gimp is a small download and shouldn't tax older computers.
Why do writers need a good graphics program anyway?
Changes in publishing have forced writers today to wear many hats, whether they are Indie or traditionally published. Some basic proficiency in graphics is required for all writers today. Here are just a few things you can do with a program like Gimp.
Book covers
Can you make your own book covers? Should you? I started writing about that, but it quickly got out of hand. I ended up cutting and pasting the entire section into a new file for a future article. We might return to that later. For now the short answer is maybe, for some writers, once you learn enough about Gimp and cover design.
Flyers/promotional material
Even if you don't make your cover yourself, once you have a final cover image there is no end to what you can do with it.
With Bear Naked I used the cover as is, using Gimp to add some layers of text over the top. The result, as you can see, was a stunning launch party poster with very little effort. I used Office Max's online print store to print a couple of posters. It is easy to set up and account and upload images. You can have them printed at the nearest store and pick them up there. I gave one away as a door prize at my launch party.
Websites like vistaprint.com lets Indie writers create a some fun swag, from bookmarks to T shirts. The problem is the price. Who wouldn't want a table full of coffee mugs, T shirts and merchandise with their book title and art work all over them? With Gimp you can make much of the artwork yourself and beat the retail prices.
Pictures for your website
A little practice with Gimp and you can create your own custom website headers and other visuals. A custom Twitter background, Facebook header, Pins for Pinterest are all fairly easy to make.
Visuals for blogs
Blogs with visuals get more views than those without. That's a simple fact. We live in a digital age and we are competing with visual media for attention. Give yourself a leg up by adding visuals to blog posts.
Altering images
Even if you don't want to manipulate images, you might have to. My cover designer sent me a beautiful finished image for Bear Naked and Bear Naked 2. The problem is that they are sized for print, and too large of a file for many websites. Some websites automatically crop the image, or the amount of the image that they show. The result can cut off critical parts of your cover image. The answer in both cases is to resize the image using Gimp or Photoshop.
The point is that a basic understanding of is important to all authors, whether they have any plans to make their own covers or promotional material. It might mean the difference between making due with what some websites wants and what you want.
Some Gimp Basics
I can't teach you to be a Gimp pro in one article, but I can give you some basic pointers to get started. Let's pretend we are about to release a new book and we want to have book signing, launch party. We need a flyer. It's a pretty basic task that most writers will face at some time.
Docking vs. single window mode
Gimp comes, by default, undocked and that throws a lot of people unfamiliar with Gimp right off the bat. By un-docked I mean the toolbar and the layers menu are separate windows, while the main project is in yet another window.
Some graphic artists love this because it allows them to work on large images in full screen and drag the toolbar around as they work. But most non-geeks prefer things in one place, so we can fix this easy. At the top menu bar, under windows is an option for single-window mode. This will attach the toolbar and layer menu so they look and act more like Photoshop.
Single-window mode
The canvas
To create a new project we can simply select "new" in the file menu. This will give us a dialogue box to choose a template or create our own custom one. For this we will choose US-Letter for a standard letter size.
An important note, this will create a base layer called the canvas in Gimp. If something is larger than the canvas or end off the edge of the canvas, you won't see it. That's okay, it's still there and you can resize the image to fit or move it onto the canvas. For example your made-to-print cover will likely be too large. The picture below shows what I am talking about. Don't worry we can move that cover art so it all shows.
Layers are important for all graphics programs. Each new element that you add to your canvas, be it a picture or a piece of text, is a separate layer. Learning to understand and work with layers is vital to learning to really use any graphics program.
For right now the important facet of layers is this, you have manipulate and change each layer separately. Layering is what allows you to drag around and resize your cover art without changing the text, or vice versus. It allows to manipulate one image without affecting the others.
Layers can also be a source of unending frustration for beginners. I can't count the times I have tried to move something only to pick up the background layer by mistake, or wondered why something wasn't working only to discover I hadn't selected the layer I was attempting to work on. Save yourself hours of hair pulling by getting used to checking the layer menu occasionally to see what's there and what's selected.
You can see in the above picture we have three layers, a background layer, a text layer and our cover art. The picture is currently selected. If we want to add a text effect, we will have to make sure we select the text first.
Gimp has a pretty extensive and self explanatory toolbar on the left hand side of the window. The move tool will allow you to click and drag layers around the canvas. The resize tool will allow you to increase or decrease the size of an image or layer. You can do this by clicking and dragging or changing the number of pixels in the dialogue box. Notice the little chain in the dialogue box? You can link the height and width so that the proportions stay the same no matter what. Or you can unlink them and freely transform pictures.
The Gimp website has a pretty complete tutorial. You find more about tools here. For your first flyer, drag the cover art and resize it where you want it. Put in text stating when and where your signing will be. Add any other visual effects you want. That's all there is to creating a simple flyer.
Text effects
As I have said before, graphics are easy to do but hard to well. Here is one simple text effect to make your flyer pop. Add a drop shadow. A drop shadow creates a shadow like effect behind your text so it looks a little more 3-D.
In Gimp you can find drop shadow under Filters–>Light and Shadow–>drop shadow. Make sure you have the correct text layer selected and apply the drop shadow. Its a small difference to the eye but it makes a huge difference in how professional the finished product will look.
Layers are vital to how graphics programs work, but most other programs can't handle them. Printers won't read them correctly, nor will web browsers.
Therefor the last step in creating our flyer is to export it. Exporting takes the final image and flattens it (removing the layers and leaving only the visible elements).

How I learned Gimp
I generally learn by doing. I love playing around with new programs and software. I have learned a ton about Word, Openoffice, Google docs, etc. from working with them, trying things and seeing what happens.
That only took me so far in Gimp. There are simply too many features and too many steps to creating complex graphics to do that. Reading the manual doesn't help much. It will tell you where certain tools are, but not how to use them effectively.
Then I discovered Youtube. Experienced Gimp and Photoshop users regularly post tutorials, showing all sorts of super cool projects you can watch and then follow along.
I get into a Gimp mood every so often. I search tutorials online, watch them. Then I watch them over while following along step by step. This is how I finally cracked Gimp. It's pretty awesome.
My favorite Gimp tutorials and projects:
So get your creative hat on and get out there and Gimp.

LONDON – Tens of thousands of people have signed a petition calling for British CNN host Piers Morgan to be deported from the U.S. over his gun-control views.
Morgan has taken an aggressive stand for tighter U.S. gun laws in the wake of the Newtown, Conn., school shooting. Last week, he called a gun advocate appearing on his Piers Morgan Tonight show an unbelievably stupid man.
Gun rights activists are fighting back. A petition created Friday on the White House e-petition website by a user in Texas accuses Morgan of engaging in a hostile attack against the U.S. Constitution by targeting the Second Amendment.
It demands he be deported immediately for exploiting his position as a national network television host to stage attacks against the rights of American citizens.
The petition has already hit the 25,000-signature threshold to get a White House response. By Monday, it had 31,813 signatures.
Morgan seemed unfazed – and even amused – by the movement.
In a series of Twitter messages, he alternately urged his followers to sign the petition and in response to one article about the petition said bring it on as he appeared to track the petition's progress.
If I do get deported from America for wanting fewer gun murders, are there any other countries that will have me? he wrote.

"Church should be like potluck, you share a little of what you've got, I'll share a little of what I've got, and we'll all learn and grow from each other."
-Gary Cargill
A friend recently shared that thought with me when we were talking about church family and ministry. Sometimes we forget the importance of fellowship with others, and the love and support of our church family. And sometimes, we forget that we are also that family and it is our responsibility to provide that love and support, as much as it is our blessing to receive it.
This morning I opened my Bible to do my daily reading, intending to look up scriptures to go with this post later, and the very first verse I read was Psalm 133:1 (KJV), which says "1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!"
Each of us has a different purpose within our church family, and we all serve different roles, roles which God has set for us. Our job is to fulfill those responsibilities to the best of our ability, relying on God to lift us up and strengthen us, to carry us through, but also to lift up and strengthen each other, relying on our church family for strength and support.
The entire 12th chapter of 1 Corinthians is a phenomenal picture of a church family, and how it should function, that every member is an important part of the body and each has a role to play, but these key verses leapt out at me today.
1 Corinthians 12:12-26
12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
14 For the body is not one member, but many.
15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.
19 And if they were all one member, where were the body?
20 But now are they many members, yet but one body.
21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:
23 And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.
24 For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked.
25 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.
26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.

ARCHBOLD, Ohio – A northwest Ohio furniture maker plans to hire more workers after signing a new deal with Swedish furniture retailer Ikea.
Sauder Woodworking Co. said the deal will create 150 jobs at its factory near Archbold, west of Toledo.
The company said it might add even more jobs as Ikea expands across the U.S.
Sauder has been making products for Ikea since 2007, and the new five-year contract will add to the lines it produces.
Sauder makes hundreds of furniture products that are sold under its own brand and other labels that are sold at major retail stores including Target and Walmart.
A company official told The Blade newspaper in Toledo that they expect to get job-creation tax credits from the state along with a grant for job training.

Harpham's comment was in reference to the amount of methamphetamine-related crime.
I think his comments could still hold a grain of truth. Only now, after a series of destructive and fatal vehicle accidents, we might now say our area is becoming a demolition derby.
Coming home from choir rehearsal Thursday night, I saw the results of a truck that had left the road in Cutten, struck a street sign, demolished a large bush in a front yard and slammed into a house. This happened only five days after a truck left the road at Buhne and I Streets, smashed a home's fence, took out a street signal pole and demolished a large tree on the corner of Carson Park before limping off becoming a hit and run. That happened shortly after a teenage boy was struck and killed while he crossed J Street at the Carson Street intersection.
While we urge drivers to be more cautious, aware, responsible and sober while operating a vehicle, such as following speed limits, yielding right of way, yielding to pedestrians in crosswalks, not texting or talking on the phone while driving, we also should encourage pedestrians and cyclists to follow basic rules and common sense, such as not crossing streets in the middle of the road, not crossing streets while paying attention to hand-held devices, looking both ways before crossing a street.
We do not have enough cops to monitor every intersection. But there must be some form of enforcement that will cut down the number of accidents in our area.

Truffle Popcorn- Sweet & Savory Recipes!
Posted on March 27, 2012
Mark has been asking me to make popcorn now for about a week so last night I caved. We have been experimenting a bit with truffle salt and honey, which Mark purchased at the Seattle Caviar Company, so I thought I would try something new- Truffle Parmesan Popcorn & Honey Truffle Popcorn!
To make the Truffle Parmesan Popcorn, you will need…
- Popped popcorn using my stove-top recipe
- 2 tbsp of butter, melted
- Truffle salt, to taste
- Garlic powder, to taste (just a tad goes a long way)
- Sea Salt, to taste
- Parmesan cheese, finely grated to taste
You can either melt the butter and add the seasonings to the butter before coating the popcorn OR coat the popcorn with the butter first and then season to taste. I find that seasoning after the butter allows for a more even coat. Add the cheese and enjoy!
For the Honey Truffle Popcorn, you will need…
- Popped popcorn, using my stove-top recipe
- 2 1/2 tbsp of butter, melted
- 1/2 tsp truffle honey
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp honey
- sea salt, to taste
For this one, you will definitely want to add the honey(s) and vanilla into the melted butter prior to coating the popcorn so that everything is mixed together. Spread over the popcorn and salt to taste! Mark and I had personal bowls of popcorn while we watched Adventures of Tin Tin :0) …. I went for the Honey Truffle and then Mark gladly ate the Truffle Parmesan – YUM!!

BRUSSELS (AP) -- Wilfried Martens, who led nine Belgian governments and the European Union's Christian Democrat group, has died. He was 77.
Party leader Wouter Beke said Thursday Martens died overnight. He did not provide details of where and why he died, but heart problems have long affected Martens health.
Leading members of his party lauded Martens as a tireless leader to keep his nation of Dutch- and French-speakers together while giving the two linguistic regions ever more autonomy.
Martens led nine governments in the 1980s and early 1990s and proved capable of keeping the volatile factions in the nation together.
He also helped found the European People's Party and led the EU's Christian Democrat Christian group for almost two decades before asking last week to be relieved from the job.

NXT and Climbing Rocks
Author: Michael Cole
February 16th 2014 - It has been a while since I have written a blog for Layfieldreport.com. But as you can imagine we have been swamped by one of the busiest times in WWE history. Elimination Chamber, the final pay per view stop on the road to Wrestlemania, will kick off our most important week ever. The next day, Monday February 24th at 9am, is the official launch of the trailblazing, groundbreaking, must have WWE NETWORK. Original programming, kick off shows, backstage pass post game shows, every single pay per view....the WWE NETWORK has it all!
The flagship show of the fledgling WWE NETWORK will be NXT---THE NEXT GENERATION. Every superstar and diva who wants to make it to RAW or SmackDown will walk through NXT and you can watch it happen every thursday night! I am so excited about the first NXT show, which will be broadcast LIVE on the WWE NETWORK thursday night February 27th at 8pmest. It will be preceded by the NXT ARRIVAL KICKOFF SHOW at 7:30est hosted by our next announcing star Renee Young and an all star panel you have got to see! Matches on the show include Bo Dallas versus Adrian Neville for the NXT championship in a ladder match, Paige versus Emma for the NXT women's championship and the match I think will steal the show Cesaro versus Sammy Zayn!
If you have yet to see an episode of NXT, you have no idea what you are missing. Broadcast from Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida in the NXT arena, our fans have really made this show their own. It's an incredible atmosphere with electricity and energy that rivals any Raw or Smackdown arena in the world. Plus WWE has developed a great relationship with the faculty, staff and students at Full Sail.
I started working at NXT on a regular basis about 2 years ago. It has been the most satisfying part of my career, watching young superstars and divas learn, train and grow and being able to say I have played a small part in all of it. Look at the stars who graduated to "the show" from NXT.....Big E. The Shield, The Wyatts, Cesaro, Emma and announcers like Tom Phillips and Byron Saxton.
My favorite part of NXT is spending numerous hours each week in the Performance Center's announce booth, helping our up
and coming broadcasters hone their craft. I can't wait to hear Tom Phillips, Byron Saxton and William Regal call all the action at NXT Arrival because I know they are ready and will help steal the show! My goal is to get them to the point where they will be calling all the action on Friday Night Smackdown someday soon!
In other news.....JBL and I just kicked in our intense training as we look to climb a minimum of three mountains this year. Our big alpine season begins in late July-early August with a climb in the Cascade Mountain Range. We then look to conquer Grand Teton in Wyoming in late August and then in early September our crown jewel this year, Mt. Rainier outside of Seattle, one of the toughest mountains in the contiguous U-S and our big training climb for a possible summit of Denali in Alaska sometime in the next 2 years.
John and and I are looking to lose at least 30 pounds, with goals of 40-50 pounds possible. At our age it's a slow, arduous process, but John is down over 20 and I have lost 13 so far. After my initiation into mountain climbing last year I have changed my workout regimen a bit this go around. 85% of my training now focuses on endurance (make those legs and lungs stronger) and I am climbing football stadium steps with 35 pounds in my backpack for 90 minutes at a time. I am also running 6-8 miles a day, training to do a half marathon in April. Give yourself a goal every couple of months in order to keep the workouts fresh and exciting. I have backed off a lot on traditional weight training, focusing instead on "outdoor training" and "practical muscles" I will use on the climbs. I have cut back on all carbs, except pinto beans and green vegetables, and focus on a diet heavy in protein and good fats.
Another training technique I have been using, and it has turned into a pretty awesome hobby, is rock climbing. We will need some of these skills for our climbs this summer and it's also a great way to build upper and lower body strength and endurance. My first foray into this came at indoor rock gyms, but I have since graduated to the real thing. Check out this photo gallery of me rock climbing at Joshua Tree National Park in California last week.
It was incredible! I was joined by my other climbing partner (and producer of the John Layfield and Michael Cole Radio Show) Frenchy, his wife Fiona, our friend Keith and our guide Mike. Rock climbing is incredibly difficult, but extremely satisfying. All you need is the equipment and the will to win.
So all in all 2014 is turning out to be a banner year for John Layfield and I. 3 big mountains, the world championship of Marlin fishing 4th of July week in Bermuda ( and we have a special guest coming this year), and some incredible news forthcoming about our podcast/radio show.
In closing I would sincerely like to thank all of YOU for your support. You guys have made THE JOHN LAYFIELD AND MICHAEL COLE RADIO SHOW the #1 program on our home at Webtalkradio.net. The JBL AND COLE you tube show is garnering 100,000 plus views every week and LAYFIELDREPORT.COM is doing great!
Again THANK YOU and we will talk soon. Don't forget to download the Layfield report app and subscribe to the newsletter. 100% of our financial support goes to help at risk kids, like those in John's rugby program in Bermuda.

The Weekend's Best Beauty Looks: From Carey Mulligan's Blonde Up-do To Jessica Biel's Pink Pout
GALLERY >> This Weekend's Best Hair and Beauty Looks
Blustery showers and Chopard jewellery raids aside, the French Riviera was still very much the epicentre of the glamour action this weekend, with Hollywood's finest showcasing a never-ending stream of gorgeous beauty looks. Across the pond, the likes of Amanda Seyfried and Shania Twain also looked totally gorgeous, making a serious statement with their red-carpet perfect tresses. Click through our gallery of the best beauty looks and see if you can pick your favourite… Pretty tricky, just to warn you!
1. Jessica Lawrence
We're not sure what we love more here- J-Law's glossy lips, the seriously sultry smoky-eye or her beachy, sun-kissed locks? A winning combination, we say!
2. Amanda Seyfried
With cascading curls resting perfectly over one shoulder, we think Amanda Seyfried got the balance between sexy and cute spot on here and boy, are we just green with envy! This is a great look for summer, complemented wonderfully by a metallic smoky eye and an uber-kissable pink pout. Full marks, Miss Seyfried!
3. Cheryl Cole
We haven't seen much of Miss Cole recently, but there was no missing her this weekend in Cannes! We've never seen Cheryl looking so amazing (and can anyone else see the strong resemblance to Eva Longoria?!), plus we're loving the slick of burgundy shadow underneath her eyes, echoing the gorgeous hue of her lace dress.
4. Jessica Biel
Brunette beauty Jessica Biel went for a punchy pink pout, which we think looked totally amazing. With a hint of pink blush on the cheeks and a chic, Gatsby-esque updo, Miss Biel gets the look spot on.
5. Naomi Watts
Gatsby inspired do's were clearly the number-one choice for Hollywood's glitterati this weekend. Miss Watts gets it just right here, pulling the look together with a vintage red lip and beautifully arched brows. We love!
6. Doutzen Kroes
We heart Doutzen's strong side part, helping to keep this look fresh and modern. Bold brows and a strong lip pull everything together just perfectly, we say.
7. Eva Longoria
Va-va-volume, indeed! Miss Longoria always manages to look super-sophisticated, and this look certainly doesn't let the glamour-side down!
8. Carey Mulligan
Earlier in the week, Carey was seen sporting her platinum locks with a strong centre part, so it was nice to see Miss Mulligan with a different 'do over the weekend. We're loving the masculine vibe of this updo- perfect for the actress' gamine features.
9. Nicole Kidman
A flawless, English-rose complexion was the order of the day for Miss Kidman, and we think she looks totally gorgeous. Pale and very, very interesting, we say.
10. Shania Twain
We're loving Shania's hair transformation and think her new red hue is totally divine. With plenty of volume at the roots and soft waves, this just oozes sophistication. We just hope we look this good when we're 47!

Grocery Store Jetta
After recently going through the long, frustrating process of buying a car I found the new Volkswagen Jetta commercial to be pretty interesting/commical. In this commercial, they relate the ease and accessibility of buying a Jetta to that of grabbing groceries from the store. And, in order to do this they take a pretty cool approach to displaying the 3,000 lb cars, take a look:
Does this make you think buying a car can be this easy? Trust me, it can't. But, a pretty cool spin on the typical car commercial. Even cooler, take a look at the video showing how they are able to suspend these two Jettas from the ceiling!
