I use 180 grain VLD's.
I recovered a 168 Berger from a bear killed yesterday by my grandson. I won't have a scales until I get back home, but it looks like its low on weight retention. Bullet got its share of meat, I don't really like that. It did just drop the bear and I did like that.
I use either Accubonds or Ballistic tips, not quite as streamlined as some others but designed as hunting bullets and I have never had any trouble getting them to shoot well with minimal load development.
I don't use a "special" long range bullet. Long range for me is 400 yards or so. I have never shot anything over about 500. I hve shot varmints & prairie dogs out to 500, but big game 4 to 450 is it. (I've punched a lot of holes in paper up to 1000, but nothing live) My point is that my bullet of choice is a Nosler Partition for elk & larger and Sierra Game Kings on smaller.

the 300 gr. SMK. The picture was taken on the exit hole side. Don't ask me how, but there were chunks of lungs all over the ground. The shot was straight through both shoulders; not anywhere near the lungs. I expect similar results with the Berger.
What a waste of meat. If you can't hit them good you shouldn't be shooting long range. Why do you need a 300 grain bullet for a 100 lb animal?
The weight of the recovered 168 Berger from the bear kill was 56.5 gr or 33% of the original weight. Not a pass thru, but the bear was dead in his tracks. This was a 150 yd shot with muzzle velocity of 3017fps. Might be a little more meat waste than a windchester E-Tip, as an example. Weight retention was no where near any of the bullets in EHJ june/july.
I dont see any reason not to use them on my unit 67 3rd season rifle hunt and the Co sept bear hunt.
I am shooting 180 grain Barnes TTSX and getting good results out of it. The one my rifle liked the best of the half dozen $50 a box grade ammos I tried.

Nico Rosberg claimed his third pole position of the season at the Bahrain GP ahead of Lewis Hamilton and Daniel Ricciardo...
Nico Rosberg: "It's fantastic to be on pole again here in Bahrain. I really enjoy the track and I won my GP2 Series title here so it has some pretty special memories for me. We've had a good weekend so far and I've been able improve my pace throughout the practice sessions so I was hoping for a strong qualifying. It's so difficult to get everything completely right with all the new technology and set-up requirements on the car but I felt really comfortable this evening and was able to put some great laps together. I'm looking forward to the race as I had a good run on high fuel but we're going to need to be careful with tyre degradation."
Lewis Hamilton: "Second place is pretty good for us today. I made a mistake on my last lap which was a shame but it's great for the team to have both cars on the front row. They've done a fantastic job this weekend with the set-up simulations and we did a lot of testing here before the season started which has helped. The car has felt good so far but I definitely felt more comfortable in practice than I did this evening in qualifying. I'm not really sure why but we'll have a good look at the data tonight and see if there is anything we can identify before the race tomorrow. Congratulations to Nico today, he's done a great job so far this weekend and nailed a really quick lap in qualifying. I'm happy that it's my team-mate there on pole and not someone else!"
Red Bull:
Daniel Ricciardo: "Today was nice, tomorrow will be less nice with the ten place penalty, but I was really happy with qualifying. I think through all the runs and on both tyres I was happy with my performance. We may have saved one set of tyres compared to the others, so that's good, hopefully I'm going to need it tomorrow for coming through the pack; hopefully it will help us. I did the best I could today, so for that I'm pleased. I think Seb and I will both be charging hard tomorrow and will aim to put on a good race."
Sebastian Vettel: "We weren't quick enough today. I was pretty happy yesterday, but I think this morning didn't help us when I spun off and did some damage to the car. It's hard to say how big the impact of that was, as once you start qualifying you just get your head down and try to do the best you can. It was quite tight with Kimi and there wasn't a lot missing to get to Q3, but that's how it goes. We get an extra set of tyres tomorrow and I think in the race things will calm down and we'll be able to be a bit more consistent and attack for some good points. I think our speed is okay on a longer run - and actually on a shorter run too, as Dan has shown today. It will be hard to overtake some cars tomorrow, but we will try our best."
Valtteri Bottas: "It was a good qualifying session; I think we got the maximum potential out of the car today. After the Red Bull penalty we are third and after the last two races it's good to see the full potential of the car on a Saturday. We haven't done too many laps this weekend so there are things we can still improve for the race, but if we get the strategy right and take the opportunities that come our way we should be in for a good result."
Felipe Massa: "That was not a very easy qualifying. I made a few mistakes on my lap in Q3 as I had a bit of oversteer, so lost some time and I really should have been quicker. We will start P7 tomorrow after Ricciardo's penalty and it's a long race so a lot could happen. We look competitive which is good to see, and we are in the fight for tomorrow."
Force India:
Sergio Perez: "It was definitely a great qualifying session and the team did a fantastic job to give me such a competitive car. After the problems we had in the first two races I feel this has been the first real opportunity to show the potential of the car. I believe we could have been even closer to the front, but I couldn't warm up my brakes enough on the out lap of my final run in Q3 and so I didn't improve. We're already thinking about tomorrow and I think the clear target must be to aim for the podium. We're in the best possible position to fight at the front and I'm going to make the most of it. I've got some very good memories of this track but tomorrow I want to create even better ones."
Nico Hulkenberg: "My lap in Q2 was not the best one. I made a mistake in turn 11 and ran wide on the exit kerb, which completely ruined my lap. I lost a couple of tenths and that made the difference between making it into Q3 and missing out. I do believe the chance for a good result tomorrow is still there and I feel optimistic. We showed on Friday that we have good long run pace and I have two new sets of soft tyes for the race. The strategy decisions for tomorrow will be important to help me move forward and with the cooler conditions it should be easier on the tyres compared to Malaysia."

Four years later, officer still under investigation in woman's death

Updated: September 20, 2013 6:02AM
Four years ago, a Chicago Police sergeant responded to a quarrel between a woman and her ex-boyfriend at a restaurant and ended up driving her home, stopping on the way to buy her a bottle of wine.
After he finished his shift, Sgt. Steven E. Lesner went back to Catherine Weiland's apartment on the Northwest Side with another bottle of wine and a six-pack of beer.
He got there around 11:30 p.m. on Feb. 17, 2009 — a Tuesday night.
By 1:40 a.m., the slender, brown-haired woman was dead in the home where she grew up, shot in the head with a bullet from Lesner's service weapon.
Lesner told detectives that Weiland, 47, a twice-divorced pharmacy technician, killed herself in the living room while he was in the bathroom.
The police and Cook County medical examiner's office concluded the death was a suicide.
But four years later, there are questions about what happened that night and about Lesner's conduct that have never been answered, a Chicago Sun-Times investigation has found.
Lesner told investigators he removed his gun and ankle holster and put it on the living-room floor and left it there when he went to the bathroom.
The police say they found Weiland fully clothed but for her bare feet, seated on a flower-print love seat, her right leg crossed over her left, with Lesner's gun in her lap near her left hand.
The bullet entered through her right temple, leaving a two-inch hole, exiting behind her left ear.
Tests by the Illinois State Police crime lab found gunshot residue, or GSR, on Weiland's left hand — not her right hand. Weiland was right-handed, according to her family.
"The test results . . . indicate that Catherine Weiland discharged a firearm, contacted a GSR-related item or had the left hand in the environment of a discharged firearm," according to a police report filed six months after Weiland died.
Jody Weis, Chicago's police superintendent at the time of Weiland's death, says he didn't recall being told about the case back then.
"It just seems like a very awkward way to commit suicide. The hand and the wound, they don't really measure up," Weis says of the gunshot residue being found on Weiland's left hand even though she was shot in the right side of the head.
Lesner was also tested. "The test results indicate . . . Steven Lesner may not have discharged a firearm with either hand," according to the police report. "If Steven Lesner did discharge a firearm, then the particles were removed by activity, were not deposited or were not detected by the procedure."
Asked about the case, the police now are saying for the first time they believe Weiland shot herself with her right hand — the one with no gunshot residue — a conclusion that isn't in any of the seven reports detectives filed four years ago.
"Based on the trajectory of the bullet, as determined by the Medical Examiner, and the shape of the entry wound, we believe that she used her right hand," the police department said in a statement released Friday evening. "This is consistent with her being right handed and not inconsistent with the GSR test for a person using a semi-automatic weapon.
"Gun shot residue does not always attach to a person's hand when they fire a gun."
The statement doesn't explain why Weiland had GSR on her left hand — or why detectives reported finding the butt end of the gun near her left hand.
Told of the department's conclusion, Weis said, "It seems unusual gunshot residue would be recorded on her left hand but not her right hand. There's got to be something else to explain away the gun in her right hand — fingerprints, DNA."
Weis also questions why Lesner failed to secure his weapon and says Lesner shouldn't have gone to Weiland's home after his shift.
"There's enough things that the officer did that indicate poor judgment and inappropriate behavior," Weis says. "The officer would have gotten some suspension for failing to secure his weapon."
Lesner wasn't suspended over his conduct the night of Weiland's death. Nor does he have any suspensions on his record in nearly 20 years as a cop.
But the case remains under investigation by the Internal Affairs Division, police spokesman Adam Collins says. IAD has made "a recommendation that must now complete the process proscribed by" Lesner's union contract, according to the department's statement.
Lesner, 47, has a bachelor's degree in criminal justice from Illinois State University, makes $96,648 a year as a cop, and plays hockey for the F.O.P. Stars, the police union's team.
At the time of Weiland's death, he was married with two children. His wife recently divorced him.
Reached by phone last week and asked about Weiland, Lesner responded, "Why are you doing a story on her?"
Told the case was under investigation by internal affairs, Lesner said, "I have no comment."
When Weiland died, Lesner told detectives he met her when he and two patrol officers responded around 7:40 p.m. on Feb. 17, 2009, to a domestic disturbance at La Villa restaurant in the 3600 block of North Pulaski. The officers made no arrests, and Lesner told investigators he gave Weiland a ride home in his police vehicle because she was intoxicated.
The restaurant was about a mile from her apartment, and he said he stopped and bought her a bottle of wine. Department rules forbid officers from transporting liquor in a police vehicle.
Weiland lived on the second floor of her father's three-flat at 3115 N. St. Louis. Her father, George Weiland, lived on the first floor. Her brother John lived in another apartment there.
Lesner told detectives he walked Weiland inside her apartment, gave her a business card on which he wrote his cellphone number, then drove her and her brother back to the restaurant to get her car.
Shortly before 11 p.m., Weiland called him at the 17th District station, according to Lesner, who was wrapping up his shift. He told police she asked him to go drinking, but when he said he didn't want to, she suggested he come over and watch TV. He said he would bring beer and that she asked him to bring another bottle of wine.
He arrived about 11:30 p.m. Lesner told investigators they watched TV in her living room while he drank beer and she drank wine. After half an hour or so, he said, he removed his ankle holster, which held his 9 mm semi-automatic Smith & Wesson service weapon, and put it on the floor beneath him.
Later that night, according to Lesner, Weiland told him she'd forgotten to take her "meds." He said he was in the bathroom when he heard the shot.
"Sgt. Lesner stated he saw Weiland seated on the love seat in the same place, with his gun in her lap," a police report says. "Sgt. Lesner stated he went to grab the gun because he wasn't sure what Weiland had done, but when he saw blood he immediately stopped picking up the gun and left it where it was. Sgt. Lesner stated he touched his weapon but didn't move it after seeing the blood."
Lesner told investigators he called 911, then woke Weiland's father and brother.
Weiland wasn't examined to determine if she'd had sex, according to the department's statement: "Sgt. Lesner stated no sexual relations took place between he and Ms. Weiland, and she was fully clothed at the time of her suicide. There were no signs of force or foul play and Sgt. Lesner was off-duty at the time of the incident, so no such tests were conducted."
Thomas Conley, the lead detective, wrote four years ago that he saw Weiland, who was 5-foot-6 and 119 pounds, "seated upright with her right leg crossed over her left leg" and "her arms at her side."
Lesner's gun was "in the victim's lap," Conley wrote, and "the barrel of the weapon was pointed towards the victim and the butt end/grips of the weapon were near the victim's left hand."
In Weiland's bedroom, police found a half-empty bottle of Michelob Ultra, the beer Lesner had been drinking. Lesner told them he didn't know how it got there, that Weiland "must have carried it in." There were also two empty beer bottles in the living room, one empty in the kitchen garbage and two beers in the refrigerator.
Police found a pill box on a coffee table in front of Weiland, three prescription bottles on an end table and, in her bedroom, a brown paper bag "that contained numerous prescription bottles." None of the prescriptions is identified.
There are some discrepancies between the police and medical examiner's reports.
The police said Weiland's father or brother — both have since died — told them she had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder 10 years earlier and was an alcoholic who "had not been taking her medications." The relative also told police Weiland "had spoke several times about harming herself" following fights with an ex-boyfriend, saying "I would only do it for the attention."
According to the medical examiner, "The subject had no known medical history, and her family related no prior attempts at self-destruction."

Before the new addition, the Ravenswood School for Girls lacked focus and direction — not to mention it had multiple entrances that caused problems keeping track of visitors. The new Mabel Fidler Building by BVN Architecture provides a clear, striking center and secure entrance for the school. The ground floor is constructed of a similar brick as the other buildings to create a connection, but the upper floors are a modern interpretation. The upper levels are clad in a polycarbonate material used for the first time on a non-industrial building in Australia. Inside, there is a daylight-filled library on the top floor, a large timber staircase, a cafe, and a space for socializing. All of the spaces were designed to be flexible and adaptable.
In designing the building, BVN Architecture incorporated both passive and active sustainability strategies. The translucent volume hovers over exterior plazas and provides shade for students to meet, study, or play. The double-skinned façade has a cavity that is kept closed during the winter to retain heat, and in the summer it opens automatically to release heat. Not completely transparent, the light that enters is diffused to reduce glare, but remains bright enough to decrease the overall energy needs of the space. Natural ventilation via operable windows is used as much as possible to reduce energy use, and a backup cooling system is only employed on the hottest of days.
BVN Architecture received the 2012 RAIA NSW Sulman Award for Public Architecture for the Mabel Fidler Building.

The ADVAN A048 is Yokohama´s Streetable Track & Competition racing tire developed for drivers who participate in autocross competition, high-performance driving schools, lapping days and circuit-type club racing, as well as are Original Equipment (O.E.) on the Lotus Elise and Exige. The ADVAN A048 is designed to take Yokohama´s advanced racing technology to a new level in DOT-approved tire performance by delivering precise control, sure-footed braking and predictable grip.
ADVAN A048 radials meet DOT requirements, however they are not recommended for driving in wet conditions, where standing water is present and there is the risk of hydroplaning; drivers should drive cautiously at reduced speeds if they encounter these conditions.Important Care And Usage Instructions: The ADVAN A048 was developed using high performance compounds which become brittle at low temperatures, and therefore should not be used in certain conditions. ADVAN A048 tires thus must be stored or used only at temperatures at or above 14°F (-10°C) to maintain performance characteristics and to avoid any damage to the tire or injury to persons or property.The ADVAN A048 molds race-ready tread compound(s) (offering Medium or Medium-Hard choices in many sizes) that can be used to match the tire´s capabilities to vehicle weight and performance, as well as track conditions and ambient temperatures. It features a single block tread design that increases tread stiffness and features a wide center area that stays in continuous contact with the track to enhance cornering stability, on-center feel and steering response.The tire´s internal structure includes twin steel belts reinforced with spirally wrapped nylon cap plies and belt edge strips.The belt package is placed on top of a rounded casing design that allows the tire to predictably handle transitions from straight-line travel to high g-force cornering and back.ADVAN A048 tires are molded with 6/32" of tread depth in their grooves and are left unshaved for use on damp tracks. We suggest shaving ADVAN A048 tires, to approximately 4/32" of tread depth, to begin competitive road racing/track use in dry conditions.ADVAN A048´s directional tread design and symmetric internal construction allows remounting partially worn tires inside-out on their wheels to help prolong their life.

Surrounding the flowers are jagged, trifolate leaves. Their dark green color and oval shape make them look much like the common clover.

I don't get Cody....I think he definitely has a voice...but I don't think he's choosing the right songs for it. His performances are always a bit off for me.
I don't get Cody....I think he definitely has a voice...but I don't think he's choosing the right songs for it. His performances are always a bit off for me.
Most of you are missing the point of the show. You like this person would you pay money to hear them sing? You do not become a star just singing, you need a hit song, and if you sing somebody else's song you get only 10%. The coaches are looking for that next star, so whatever song they give them is to help them win, they are not trying to lose, they are the experts, nobody's perfect.
Reckon this is from The Voice UK, but this performance by Bo Bruce is what got me hooked on her. She reminds me a lot of Florence + The Machine. You can feel her emotion in the song despite it not being her own and she can sing too...
All I see is a blank white square,
Yeah, my syntax get's shot to shit late at night...
^much better!
This is good too...
Melanie is basically a wannabe Bo Bruce but lacks any sexual appeal.
wait...how do we know Deborah is a guy? cuz I thought I saw boobs...
De'Borah is not a guy...they showed clips of her when she was younger
The two pretty boys went home [Dez and Colby]! The competition has a purpose!!! I thought that the producers would save Dez so Christina has something to do but kudos to let America vote. Kind of sad that after having her album tank and now this, Christina is hitting new lows all over.
my 2 baby peens gone in one night
I just cant handle this
I still cant believe the producet let him go, because he doesnt want pay Xtina for nothing in 2-3 more weeks until final right?
she can take her early leave now
no coaching, snacking burger and doing promo for Lotus
Christina's team was stacked to the brim with wannabe pop stars and those are a dime a dozen so it's no surprise her team fell. She picked her team horribly and her piss-poor attitude on the show doesn't help either. They are not judges but are coaches/mentors and Christina seems far more interested in herself than her team. Her backhands, in particular to other females on the show is appalling. Also kind of sad when Adam out divas Christina. A lot of people can't wait till she's off the show.
As for Cody, Queen is always a death nail for performers. They are one of those artists you should never touch in a singing competition.
I'm, expecting Trevan and Melanie to go home next week but we shall see.
Kind of sad to see Dez go. You'd think that since he gets the biggest applause he'd still be in.
Christina has looked at bit "off" this season...she has had a few Paula Abdul moments and that is uncomfortable to watch because I like her. I am sorry to see Cody leave...Dez was just OK for me.
So...does Christina still sit on the panel now that she has no team?
i think she will still stay on the panel just to offer her critique and fill a chair, it would look weird with an empty seat between ceelo and blake.
also i think their might be a winner's bonus, to the winning coach, like last season blake had to get maybe an extra half a mil or something cause his person won the show.
christina probly feels like crap she has the worst running of any of the coachs (Joint 3rd in season 1 and 4th in season 2, eliminated in season 3) atl east adam won a season, blake won a season and had a runner up and ceelo had a runner up (my bitch Juliet)
I missed the show last night
not interested in live streaming too
just checking how Xtina looks and then shut it down hahaa
I dunno it felt so weird without Team Xtina on it
IMO, the competition is over and Cassidee will win it all.
it's between Cee lo and Blake all over again just like season 2
I'm so happy that Team Madam went home...I can't stand him. Last night when I saw them go home I was like:
In your face Madam!!
I was happy to see Melanie go, but I was sad that Amanda went along with her.
I'm growing tired of Casssadee. She always sounds so perfect when she executes her notes. I like the renditions of the songs she sings, but I keep wanting something more. But out of everyone left, I want her to win.
These final four are not really very interesting to me. I liked Amanda the best of the final six.
both Team Blake is topping the iTunes
Nicholas too
I can see Trevin goes home
since they will send 1 contestant by this week
Oh look, Trevan was eliminated what a shocker
Anyone else think Cass sounds like a dying llama? Fuck, I can't stand her voice. Maybe it's the pitch. Ugh...I tuned in tonight to see how the finals were going to be, but I'm thankful for tuning out way back when.
Thanks guys, I don't even have to tune even the last 5 minutes in
That they didn't castrate and eliminate the one tone asshole of a
Wannabe Trappist Monk/Tibetan llama Lama.
DAMN! I wish we had Ruth Brown...from the UK's Voice...
Calling it tonight...
1. Cassadee Pope
2. Terry McDermott
3. Nicholas David
i agree, i dont see cassadee not winning, shes consitently in the top of itunes, while terry and nicolas havent been, also the judges seem to love her as well.
I was right. A tad anti-climatic but I hope the other 2 get record deals also.
congrats Team Blake
so sad Xtina n Cee Lo go for the next season
The Voice never be the same without them and the original chemistry

3/25 & 3/26 in Yankee History
On the 25th of March over the years…
2004: The Yankees ship infielder Mike Lamb to the Astros in exchange for pitcher Juan DeLeon. Lamb had originally been acquired to compete for the starting job at third base after Aaron Boone damaged his knee in a pickup basketball game, but became trade bait once Alex Rodriguez was signed.

Popeye and Olive are now married, and they have a son, Popeye Jr. Bluto is also married- to a woman named Lizzie- and he also has a son, Tank. The kids are just like their father... except Popeye Jr. hates spinach. Wimpy has a nephew, Francis.
Olive Oyl finally became Mrs. Popeye in this 1980s version of the Popeye classic cartoon. CBS brought back the mumbling marine and the love of his life one more time in 1986 for the short-lived Popeye and Son. Popeye and Olive had gotten married, bought a house, and raised a young son named Popeye Jr., all without aging a day.
Popeye Jr. was a nine-year-old version of his pop, except for one crucial difference. Little Popeye did not care for spinach. Nevertheless, he had his own nemesis in the form of Bluto's son, Tank. Bluto, despite being a class-A brute, had managed to marry a girl named Lizzie.
As you can imagine, Popeye Jr. and Tank were often at odds, but instead of getting their aggressions out with an anvil or something equally effective, the elder Popeye would intervene and teach his son how to solve his problems without fighting. My, how times had changed.
A total of 13 half-hours (26 segments) were broadcast, all in the 1987-88 season.

It's time for Bellevue Police chief to go after latest black eyeon March 18, 2013 @ 5:47 pm (Updated: 8:13 pm - 3/18/13 )
"It seems like Chief Linda Pillo seems to be the problem here and I'm just wondering why the folks over in Bellevue don't get upset about this," says Don O'Neill in the wake of the latest black eye for the beleaguered department.
In the most recent development, A Bellevue police officer is suing the department saying her training supervisor created a hostile workplace by speaking openly about his sexual experiences and talking about certain body parts.
Officer Jan Auclair Trizuto also claims the officer sent her sexually suggestive text messages, which she didn't report because she feared retaliation.
Officer Trizuoto says her supervisor intimidated her after she discussed the fellow officer's inappropriate discussions about sexual exploits.
"You would think that a department with a female chief would go out of its way to set up a culture that would be accommodating and friendly to female officers," says Ron Upshaw. "I'm saying you would be hyperaware if there's this sexual harrassment going on and if you're a female chief you would pull this training officer in right away and go 'that's not how we do it in this department.'"
The department is refusing any comment, saying it doesn't discuss pending litigation. But Ron and Don say the bigger problem is the department never says anything.
Chief Pillo has been conspicuously silent or absent amidst a number of high profile embarrassments in the past year, including the demotion of two members of the command staff for extramarital affairs, and the disciplining of two officers for their drunken behavior before, during and after they were tossed out of a Seahawks game at CenturyLink Field.
"And where the hell is Sky Metawala?" asks Don in reference to the high profile disappearance of the little boy missing since November 2011, after his mother reported the toddler disappeared after she left him in an unlocked car to get gas for her vehicle. They later determined there was nothing wrong with the car.
"It's been one year and four months and you'd think the Bellevue Police Department would consistently want to pick up the phone, call the media and continue to drive tips so we can figure out where that little boy is, and we never hear from the Bellevue Police Department on this," says Don.
Ron and Don are also critical of the department's handling of the investigation into the beating of J.D. Aylward, who suffered injuries so severe part of his skull had to be removed. The department has refused to comment, but sources have said police are working on the theory he simply fell.
It's a sharp contrast to other Puget Sound area law enforcement agencies, which regularly speak to the media even when it's in response to negative stories about their department.
"How many stories do you need before you make a change?" Don asks. "I just think they need a new chief over there. And the folks over there in Bellevue, it's time they get upset about this. Chief Linda Pilla, you should resign. Just resign. You're a horrible chief. You're horrible. You're absolutely horrible. You're terrible."
Not everyone agrees. The city manager, city council, and mayor have all voiced support for the chief and the department. But Ron an Don say they've been noticeably quiet as well, and it's time for them to stand up and explain how things have gotten so bad with the department.

The Color Commentator
Asking Dick Vitale to lend his famous voice to the mission of The Healing Place was a no-brainer. The legendary broadcaster is one of the nation's most requested motivational speakers and let's be honest: He's Dickie V, a man whose enthusiasm could rival the collective vivacity of even the best cheerleading squad.
Vitale, 71, will be the featured guest speaker at the Thursday, April 14, Celebrate Freedom Dinner, sponsored by Brown-Forman, at the Louisville Marriott Downtown. The event will raise necessary funds for The Healing Place, a Louisville organization that "seeks to reach the homeless, offer recovery for the addicted and help restore productive lives," while also commemorating the establishment's many successes.
"We feel like (Vitale) will be an exciting speaker for the evening as more individuals and companies become acquainted with The Healing Place, our message and our success," said Director of Communications Marla Highbaugh. "We are very excited about our program and the lives that are changed every day, and we want more people to know what we do."
Vitale, who is – as he appears on TV – always on the go, was kind enough to take a few moments to talk with me last week as he traveled in his home state of Florida and made preparations to head to the River City. The speakerphone conversation – which attracted the attention of my colleagues, including longtime sports writer Earl Cox – was (it has to be said) awesome, baby.
What did you think of this year's NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament?
It certainly was very dramatic, and many games were buzzer beaters, lots of surprises. But ultimately (in) the championship game, the quality of play was not really outstanding, but it was still competitive and to the people of Connecticut, it was a thing of beauty because they won.
What was the biggest surprise about March Madness?
I was surprised early that Morehead State beat Louisville. I had Louisville going to the Final Four, so that really set the tone for the tournament. I was absolutely stunned and shocked that VCU and Butler made it to the Final Four. I didn't think in any way that would have occurred. …
Who's a better coach? Rick Pitino or John Calipari?
The state of Kentucky is very lucky to have two guys that are quality. They really are both super at what they do. Saying who's better would be like who do you like better growing up as a kid? Frank Sinatra or Bing Crosby? In today's terminology, do you like Kenny Chesney if you're a country fan or do you like Bruce Springsteen? It's a matter of taste and … should we all do our job half as effectively as what they do in their jobs, I think we'd be big time successes.
Switching gears a little bit here, you've written a number of books, but how did the experience differ with "Dickie V's ABCs and 1-2-3s: A Great Start for Young Superstars," your first children's book?
The outstanding illustrator (of the book), Craig Lueck, is a real giant at what he does. He did a phenomenal job. I love kids. I've always loved trying to motivate and inspire young people. And to be around young kids – in fact, I have five grandchildren of my own. In fact, I'm taking them to a baseball game right now. … I love young people so it gave me an opportunity. Plus, the big thing that I did was to raise money for pediatric cancer. All my proceeds, every dollar I would make – every dollar – from the book is going to pediatric cancer.
The book was a fun thing to do. It's done really well. … They just had recently "Dick Vitale Day" at the All Children's Hospital in Tampa. I read to a bunch of little kids because a buddy of mine bought 400 books to give out to all the kids. So they had me read to the kids. If you go to my website – www.dickvitaleonline.com – you'll see these kids are beautiful kids! Four, five, six, seven years of age and I was reading to these kids and (they'd jump and dance around) and I learned later that these kids have brain tumors, leukemia, tumors on the spine. It brings you to tears because no child should be doing chemo or radiation. They should be out playing or having a ball or going to see their favorite teams like my grandchildren are doing now. That's one of the reasons why I did the book and one of the reasons why I'm really on a crusade to raise as much money as I can for cancer.
In fact, we're going to be honoring Calipari along with Roy Williams of North Carolina for my Dick Vitale Gala. We're going to raise a million dollars on May 20 (at the Ritz Carlton in Sarasota, Fla.). We've done it five years in a row. One year we honored Rick Pitino and Billy Donovan. This year we're doing Calipari and Roy Williams, and we're going to raise a million dollars for kids battling cancer. (Note: The Vitale Gala annually raises money for The V Foundation in honor of Dick's good friend, the late Jim Valvano. For more information, see Vitale's website.)
Speaking of charity, you're coming to Louisville to speak at the Celebrate Freedom Dinner benefiting The Healing Place. What's the message you'll give?
My message is basically one of "have pride." I'll talk a little bit about perseverance, a little bit about respect, a little bit about making intelligent decisions in one's personal life. I'll talk about desire, dedication, discipline of body and mind. I'll talk about "E" for enthusiasm, and I'll talk about energy. And I'll talk about living each day of your life in the most positive way. Think positive, have faith. I'll talk about my definition of winning. … I've been very proud that people have called upon me to speak all over this country and share some of the things I believe in.
I'll share stories of my background. I'll talk about my mother and father, who were uneducated but had a doctorate in love. They taught me about this great country. If you have passion and enthusiasm, a lot of great things will happen. … My mother and father, they were the ones who inspired and motivated me in my life. They taught me in their own uneducated way – a very simple philosophy: If you're good to people, people will be good to you. If you do things with lots of spirit and enthusiasm, which used to be my mother's message, a lot of good things are going to happen – and how accurate she was. I'll talk about making choices. It's very simple: Make good choices, good things happen. Make bad choices, bad things happen. Sounds like I'm giving you my speech right now. (Laughs).
I'll take it, that's for sure. You've said before, "I may not always be right, but no one can ever accuse me of not having a genuine love and passion for whatever I do," but do you ever think about doing something else?
No. I love what I do. I absolutely eat, sleep and drink basketball, sports and to make a living doing something I love, sit at courtside with the best games in America? I have a better record than Calipari, I have a better record than Pitino because I've never lost a game (during my) 32 years on ESPN. When I leave (the arena), I've always got a W, a win, man. I'm undefeated. (Laughs). I don't have to put up with the pressure, the media scrutiny asking questions about why did you play this kid or that kid. No, I love what I'm doing. I love what I'm doing. I'm stealing money. Don't tell my bosses. I've been stealing money for 32 years.
You're also a good sport. Just watching your reaction to VCU creating the "Eat Crow Baby" banner after you expressed surprise that the university was given an at-large bid, you turned that into a positive instead of lashing out. Not only did you take it in stride, but you offered to autograph the banner, which will be signed by VCU coach Shaka Smart and his players before it is auctioned off to raise funds for the V Foundation. You also took to your Twitter account and tweeted a photo of yourself wearing a VCU sweatshirt along with the message: "Who said VCU did not belong? That guy better EAT SOME CROW BABY."
I think that in life, why have a chip on your shoulder? Why be angry? Why be mad? People are entitled to say what they want, but I learned early in life to never hold a grudge, never be angry at people. Today's a new day, start with a new outlook in life. Treat every day special, man. That's what I try to do: Treat every day special. It's a special moment from the moment I get up.
My wife, Lorraine, used to always tell me that, and I tried to instill that in our daughters, who are a lot brighter than me. In fact, I'm pretty lucky that they took after their mother both intellectually and physically. … I just really love people. I've always been a people guy. Al Maguire used to always tease me and call me "All Lobby." He'd say, "Dicksie" – he never called me "Dick" – he'd say, "Dicksie, you're 'all lobby,' man. You sit in the lobby and if nobody recognizes (you), (you'd) put a sign up that said, 'Hey my name is Dickie V. Please say hello.' " I could never understand why players and coaches don't want to sign autographs and would be bitter and angry. What? What do you gain by that?
