Stan Lee Makes His Third Appearance at Baltimore Comic-Con 2013
June 26, 2013 by Colin Solan
Filed under Comic Books, Comic Strips, Convention News, Maryland, Movies
**UPDATE: UNFORTUNATELY, DUE TO UNAVOIDABLE CIRCUMSTANCES, STAN LEE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE SHOW THIS YEAR. We have closed sales of the Stan Lee tickets and will be in touch in the coming weeks with refund options for existing buyers of Stan Lee tickets.**
The Baltimore Comic-Con is honored to announce that Stan "The Man" Lee will return to Baltimore for the third year in a row at this year's convention. The 14th Annual show will be taking place at the Baltimore Convention Center the weekend of September 7-8, 2012.
For this year's show, Lee will be making appearances both days, signing autographs and posing for photographs with fans in attendance of the show.
He is known the world over as the architect of the Marvel Universe and the Father of Modern Comics. Along with Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko, Lee co-created some of the most iconic characters of the Silver Age, including the Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, the Avengers, the X-Men, the Incredible Hulk, Thor, Daredevil, Iron Man, and Doctor Strange.
Lee began his career in comics in 1939 at the age of 16, working for Martin Goodman at Timely Comics. He made his writing debut in 1941 with a text filler story in Captain America Comics #3 and wrote his first back-up story for the title two issues later. Lee continued to write for the publisher and, at the age of 19, was installed as interim editor. With a head for business and an eye for comics, Lee graduated to become editor-in-chief and art director of the comics division.
Throughout his illustrious career, which has spanned more than 70 years, Lee has been a writer, editor, publisher, President, and Chairman at Marvel Comics. He's made cameo appearances in 17 films based on his creations-including Iron Man 3, Marvel Studios' follow-up to The Avengers.
"Having Stan back for a third year is just incredible for both the fans and the show as a whole," said Marc Nathan, show promoter of the Baltimore Comic-Con. "With him appearing both days again this year, we're setting the stage for our biggest and best year yet!"
Details regarding ticket pricing for signings and VIP packages will be released over the next few weeks. To receive the latest information about Stan Lee and all of the Baltimore Comic-Con news, sign up for our mailing list at baltimorecomiccom.com!
Stan Lee joins our previously announced guests, including: Brian Bolland (Dial H); Mark Buckingham (Fables); Jimmy Cheung (Avengers vs. X-Men); Frank Cho (Savage Wolverine); Amanda Conner (Before Watchmen: Silk Spectre); J.M. DeMatteis (Phantom Stranger); David Finch (Justice League of America); Dave Gibbons (The Secret Service); Keith Giffen (Masters of the Universe); Adam Hughes (Before Watchmen: Dr. Manhattan); Barry Kitson (Empire); Roger Langridge (Popeye); Paul Levitz (World's Finest); Kevin Maguire (World's Finest); Mike Mignola (Hellboy In Hell); Jimmy Palmiotti (Batwing); George Perez (World's Finest); David Petersen (Mouse Guard); Joe Prado (Earth 2); Ivan Reis (Aquaman); Chris Samnee (Daredevil); Louise Simonson (X-Factor); Walt Simonson (The Mighty Thor); Allison Sohn (sketch card artist); Mark Waid (Indestructible Hulk); and Bill Willingham (Fables).
In the coming weeks, look for more announcements from the Baltimore Comic-Con. We are looking forward to highlighting our guests, the Harvey Awards, industry exclusives, and programming. The latest developments can always be found on our website, Twitter, and Facebook pages.
This year's Baltimore Comic-Con will be held September 7-8, 2013. Convention hours are Saturday 10 AM to 6 PM and Sunday 10 AM to 5 PM. The ceremony and banquet for the Harvey Awards will be held Saturday night, September 7th.

Stoke's Jermaine Pennant accused of diving to set up winning goal against Aston Villa
'I never accuse people of diving or anything like that,' Petrov said, immediately going on to do just that. "He played for it, and he got it. It was a bad call.' Pennant's facial expression the shifty look of a man who has sped past a speed gun and wondered why there was no flash did more than the slow motion television replays to suggest that Lee Probert's decision to award a free-kick was indeed a poor one. The referee also made a mistake in failing to stop Stoke from pinching a few yards, moving the ball to a more dangerous launching site nearer the Villa area. Petrov, maybe understandably, was furious. The gist of his post-match polemic? Of course the players understand the referee has a tough job, but if they want respect, they have to stop making such silly mistakes. 'But at the end of the day', 'there's no point complaining', 'we were 1-0 up and couldn't see the match through', 'we have to blame ourselves', and so on. You've heard it all before. Common enough gripes, certainly, but Petrov has a point. When Probert looks back at the tape he will be should be, at least self-critical. How he failed to spot Jonathan Walters intentionally trip Petrov in the Stoke area as the Villa midfielder made to collect a short corner was especially confusing. Walters stuck his leg out in the most cynical fashion directly in front of Probert, who somehow failed to see the offence. The sense of injustice will certainly linger, but Petrov knew that his side should never have been in that position in the first place. Had Ashley Young scored rather than put his header from close range wide, well, it would have been a different story altogether. But again, Villa demonstrated a disturbing lack of clarity as the match wore on, and allowed Stoke to launch their final attack. Martin O'Neill used to say of wrapping up a tied game: 'If you can't win it, just don't lose it.' He would have been apoplectic, therefore, had it been him and not Kevin MacDonald in the technical area when Luke Young launched a speculative long-ball into the Stoke area in stoppage time. Stoke regained possession, found Pennant on the wing, and you know the rest. But it cannot help the players, being uncertain as to when their new manager, Gerard Houllier, will arrive. It is no use getting by with ad hoc arrangements; they need consistent direction. 'It is complicated,' Petrov conceded. 'Complicated for the new manager, complicated for Kev as well, but there is a solution and we will see the new manager soon. He knows what he needs to do. We wait to see how we can improve.'

Current Time
Most visitors to Orlando come and go without ever seeing the downtown district. That's because they spend all their time in the tourist zones, which were built apart from downtown but have since been swallowed by sprawl. Walt Disney World, 20 miles southwest of Orlando proper, is a private 27,000-acre campus of hotels, theme parks, water parks, and entertainment zones. The two are linked by the crucial Interstate 4 and the International Drive area, noted for its chain hotels, convention center, and three other major parks: Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, and SeaWorld. The Orlando airport is 11 miles east of I-4 and the convention center. Everything is tied together by highways, and signage to major attractions is clear.
It's never a quiet day at Disney World, but crowds are heaviest during Spring Break, summer, and over Christmas and New Year's—and any other time kids are out of school. June to October is the rainy season, when isolated thunderstorms routinely blow through in mid-afternoon. The winter can be cool, with temperatures usually around 50° F. Crowds are lightest from mid-January to mid-March, and again in September when school resumes.
Because the city welcomes some 50 million tourists a year, Orlando International Airport (MCO), nine miles south of downtown, has plenty of flights from the major domestic carriers, international airlines, and discounters such as Southwest (southwest.com), JetBlue (jetblue.com), and AirTran (airtran.com). Shuttle buses charge a flat rate of $16 from the airport to the Universal area or downtown Orlando and $18 to the Disney area (407-423-5566, www.mearstransportation.com). Visitors booked into Disney-run hotels may qualify for the resort's free shuttle-bus service. If you're visiting the area as part of a Florida road trip, you're about 1 hour from Tampa, 90 minutes from Daytona Beach, and four hours from Fort Lauderdale and Miami. Amtrak also serves downtown Orlando.
Because of the great distances involved, lack of walking paths, and infrequent public transport, it's wisest to rent a car. Drive with a little ready cash, since the city's primary tourist avenues are peppered with tollbooths asking $1 a pop, and parking is often only available at a surcharge. If you're staying in a Disney-run hotel, the resort's slow-as-molasses shuttle buses will tote you around the resort for free. The I-Ride trolley service (407-248-9590, www.iridetrolley.com) operates every 15 minutes daily between Universal Studios and SeaWorld, with many stops along International Drive in between; single fares are 75 cents, and a day pass costs $3. You can also call a taxi (Star Taxi, 407-857-9999; Town & Country, 407-828-3035; Yellow Cab, 407-699-9999).
Although coupons and tourist magazines are strewn just about everywhere in the city, the most complete source of information and brochures is Orlando's Official Visitor Center (8723 International Dr., 407-363-5872, www.orlandoinfo.com). Its free Magicard discount program, unlike other cities' bargain cards, actually delivers some savings.

Best Wines of the Year – Italian Whites
Marisa Cuomo and her husband/winemaker Andrea Ferraioli (Photo ©Tom Hyland)
Without further ado, here is a partial list of my choices as the best Italian whites wines of the year. A full list (along with the best reds of the year and a list of the best producers) can be found in the next issue of my Guide to Italian Wines. For subscription information, click here.
This cooperative is one of Alto Adige's finest producers, with excellent quality from the most simple whites to the most full-bodied bottlings. Stoan, named for the local stony soil, is a marvelous blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco, Sauvignon (Blanc) and Gewurztraminer that displays gorgeous aromatics, rich concentration and vibrant acidity along with great structure and backbone. This was my favorite white wine of the year (from anywhere, not just Italy) and it is a perfect partner for a variety of foods, especially cracked crab.
It begins to sound like a broken record, but each year this blend of Friulano, Pinot Bianco and Sauvignon from this esteemed Friulian producer is among the finest Italian whites. The 2008 is not as full-bodied as in some vintages (2007, e.g.), but it more than makes up for that with its gorgeous perfumes of chamomile, pear, almond and rose petals. This should offer drinking enjoyment for 7-10 years and perhaps longer.
This blend of Friulano, Malvasia and Ribolla Gialla has in just a few short years, become one of the benchmark whites of Friuli. This is not as powerful as the Felluga wine above, but it offers as much complexity and varietal character. The vibrant acidity gives this wine backbone and structure – enjoy over the next 5-7 years, especially with shellfish.
Here is another gorgeous Collio blend, this comprising 25% each of Friulano, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon. The aromas jump out of the glass and the wine is all about pleasure and finesse. Try this over the next 3-5 years with a wide ranges of dishes, from risotto to shellfish.
This blend of Chardonnay, Sauvignon and Picolit has been a favorite for years, not only for its complexity, but also its longevity, as ten-year old bottlings shine. The 2008 is not as rich as some vintages, but it is still quite lush and features gorgeous aromatics and vibrant acidity, which should preserve the wonderful freshness of this wine for many years.
There's really no mystery as to why this wine is among the finest in Campania every year; it's a simple matter of excellent terroir combined with careful farming and winemaking. Medium-full, this has a big finish with lively acidity and a big streak of minerality. Look for this 2009 to drink well for at least 3-5 years, perhaps longer.
This Amalfi Coast white has become legendary over the past decade. A blend of the local varieties Ripoli, Fenile and Ginestra, this is a more powerful white than the typical offering from Campania. Fermented and aged in small oak barrels, the wine has pronounced aromatics of fruit (grapefruit, mango) and herb (fennel, chamomile) and a generous mid-palate with a beautifully structured finish. This should drink welll for 5-7 years and is big enough for veal or poultry, though I love it with lobster or swordfish.

Winemaking is special in every part of Italy. The weather varies, as do the soils and vineyard exposures. Then there are the grapes themselves. No one knows exactly how many varieties are found throughout the country, but the best guesses are somewhere between 2000 and 3000.
All of those factors combine to make regional viticulture quite distinctive anywhere you go in Italy. Then there is the Amalfi Coast. Known as one of the most beautiful locations on the planet, this is an area of extreme viticulture, where vintners fashion some of the most unique wines anywhere in the world from remarkable hillside plots that are often buffeted by high winds. The work is difficult, but the results are always notable and often spectacular; it is in this zone where Marisa Cuomo and her winemaker/husband Andrea Ferraioli are producing some of the most singular wines in all of Italy.
The winery and vineyards are located in the small town of Furore, located between the postcard-famous hamlets of Positano and Amalfi. Furore is not as well known as those two locations, mainly because the town is not on the coastal road, but slightly off that thoroughfare. This is, for lack of a better term, a vertical town, as the main road that winds its way through the town begins several hundred feet above vineyards and homes as it tumbles down to just a few meters above the sea. Standing on the road about halfway down in Furore offers a dazzling view; as you glance skyward, you see cars that look tiny heading down the road, while the view down to the sea is breathtaking, especially when early morning or late afternoon fog creeps into the area.
As in other zones in Campania, indigenous varieties are planted throughout the Amalfi Coast; here in Furore, Ferraioli works with white varieties such as Biancolella, Ginestra and Fenile, while Aglianico and Piedirosso are the featured red grapes. The reds from Marisa Cuomo are excellent (along with a beautiful dry rosato), but it is the collection of white wines that make this estate so renowned.
The Furore Bianco, a blend of Falanghina and Biancolella, is aged solely in stainless steel and offers lemon and grapefruit notes with the vibrant acidity of the local whites; the Ravello Bianco, made from a similar bend from the nearby town of Ravello, is similarly styled, though less concentrated than the wine from Furore.
The most complete wine made at the estate is a Furore Bianco named Fior'duva, a blend of Fenile, Ginestra and Ripoli. Ferraioli ferments part of the must in barrique and then ages the wine in similar barrels; the result is a superb white of deep concentration. There are the usual tropical and citrus flavors as well as notes of lemon custard, giving this wine a uniqueness among Amalfi whites. This is a white that is impressive upon release, but displays greater complexities over five to seven years. The newly released 2008 is one the finest examples I've tasted to date with impressive texture and the structure to age for perhaps seven to ten years.
One note about the vines in Furore; because of the strong winds off the sea, the pergola (overhead) training system is used. This viticultural practice, also used in other Italian regions such as Alto Adige and Veneto (especially in Soave and to a lesser degree in Valpolicella), also provides shade and lessens the amount of sunshine, which is an especially important factor in Campania. The look of these vines on these steep slopes perched above the sea is truly stunning.
If you have the opportunity to visit Furore, make sure you visit the estate of Marisa Cuomo and stop in for lunch or dinner at the Bacco Ristorante, where you can enjoy grilled seafood (octopus, shrimp et al) with these delicious whites; the earthiness of the fish providing a perfect foil for the striking acidity of the wines. You might just get a chance to enjoy a glass of wine with Marisa or Andrea, but even if you don't, I guarantee you'll never forget the experience, as you celebrate the beauty of the Amalfi Coast through its landscapes, food and glorious white wines!
Odds and Ends – My Favorites from VinItaly
A stunning Franciacorta, some gorgeous 2009 whites and that Vermentino Nero:

Back from another VinItaly and bursting with dozens of beautiful wines I'd like to talk about – and I didn't even get to taste any wines from Abruzzo, Alto Adige or Sicily. Here are thoughts on a few:
Beautiful 2009 whites
VinItaly has the advantage of being the first major fair of the year where producers sample their newest wines for the press and the public; in the case of the white wines that meant the 2009s for most bottlings. However, this also meant wines that had only been bottled for a week or two, so it's a bit difficult to reach a final decision on these wines, as they're not quite all together yet. However, the 2009 whites as a whole showed beautifully, especially from Avellino in Campania and from Collio and Colli Orientali del Friuli. Among the finest 2009 white wines I tasted were the Alberto Longo Falanghina "Le Fossette" from Puglia; Monte de Grazia Bianco, a blend of local indigenous grapes from the Amalfi Coast including Peppela, Ginestra and Tenera; the Mastroberardino Fiano di Avellino "Radici"; the I Clivi Verduzzo Friulano, a dry version of this grape that is normally vinified dry (I Clivi is doing wonderful things with several grapes from their vineyards in Collio and Colli Orientali del Friuli – this winery will not be a well-kept secret for long) and the Gradis'ciutta Sauvignon from Collio.
This last estate is managed by Robert Princic, who at 34 years of age has become one of the most important vintners in Collio, a great white wine area. This Sauvignon is a brilliant wine, offering aromas of spearmint, bosc pear and ginger with excellent concentration, a lengthy finish and vibrant acidity. Look for this wine to be at its best in 5-7 years.
Stunning 2008 whites
There are always some exceptional Italian whites that are released a bit later than the normal wines; given the complexity and structure of these wines, they are ideal when they are initially offered some 18 months after the harvest. The finest at this fair included Bastianich "Vespa", a blend of Chardonnay, Sauvignon and Picolit from Friuli; the exceptional Grattamacco Vermentino from Bolgheri and the stunning Marisa Cuomo "Fior'duva". an Amalfi Coast offering made from Ginestra, Ripole and Fenile. This is as lush and as concentrated a version of this wine I have enjoyed and it should once again be in the running for one of the best Italian white wines of the year.
There are just too many wines to try at the fair, so it's difficult to focus on one category. I didn't try as many Amarones as I would have liked, but the two best for me were the 2006 Tedeschi "Monte Olmi", full of ripe cherry fruit and peppery notes and the 2004 "Il Fornetto" from Stefano Accordini. This last wine is a true riserva, produced in only the finest years. This is a robust, full-bodied wine with impeccable balance and is a great Amarone from one of the area's most dependably consistent producers – one that should be better known.
Cantine Lunae Vermentino Nero Rosato (Photo ©Tom Hyland)
Vermentino Nero
Yes, you read that right – there is a Vermentino Nero grape that is planted in tiny numbers in Liguria and Tuscany's western coast. The bottling I tasted is from Cantine Lunae of Liguria, also the home of brillliant examples of Vermentino Bianco.
This is a rosato, as the Vermentino Nero grape does not have the structure to produce a red wine, as the winery's export manager, Michele Gianazza, explained to me (hope you're not disappointed, Jeremy). Che un rosato! This has a deep cherry color, aromas of bing cherry, chrysanthemum and mint and finishes very dry. What a pleasure to try this rarity!
A Stunning Dessert Wine from Soave
Ca'Rugate in Soave makes one of the very best examples of Recioto di Soave, the famed DOCG dessert wine of the area. Now comes the 2001 Corte Durlo, an amazing wine, a 100% Garganega made from dried grapes that have been aged in small barrels that have been sealed for seven years. My notes for this wine go on and on; aromas of creme caramel and dried sherry with notes of honey and mandarin orange in the finsh; I think this should drink well for 12-15 years and it could go on for 20 years! This is basically a Vin Santo; however, it is not legal to label the wine this way in Soave, so it is technically a Veneto Bianco Passito. Regardless, this can compare with the finest examples of any dessert wine produced today in Italy.

A Brilliant Franciacorta
If I had to name one wine that was my favorite at this year's best fair, it was the 2002 Bellavista "Vittorio Moretti". I tasted through the lineup of Gran Cuvée bottlings from this producer and then was asked if I wanted to taste one more wine. When I was told what it was, I had honestly never heard of it; I'm sure I'm not alone as this is only the sixth time this wine has been made in the winery's 33 year existence. Named for Bellavista's owner, the wine is an equal blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Nero that was partially barrel fermented. The lip of the bottle has two levels, meaning that the normal crown cap used to seal the bottle ater the first fermentation cannot be implicated here; rather a cork is used and the wine is manually disgorged.
The wine itself is full-bodied, with sublime aromas of yeast, biscuit, quince and dried pear. I told winemaker Matteo Vezzola that while I didn't mean to compare Franciacorta with Champagne, as they are two different products, that this wine reminded me of Taittinger Comtes de Champagne. Matteo smiled and said that my comparison was fine with him!
A brilliant wine from a brilliant producer – bravo Matteo!
Campania Whites – Falanghina/Amalfi Coast
This is part two of my discussion of white wines from Campania. The last post dealt with Greco di Tufo and Fiano di Avellino. This time around, I will discuss Falanghina as well as white wines from the Amalfi Coast.
Falanghina is another of the great ancient white varieties of Campania. The name comes from the word falerna, meaning "poles," a reference to the system used by the Greeks more than a thousand years ago of attaching the vines to stakes, rather than having the vine directly in the ground. In the province of Caserta in northern Campania, Falerna is the local name of Falanghina.
The signature of Falanghina is its vibrant acidity; this is enhanced when the grapes are planted near the coast, as with the Villa Matilde estate in Caserta (Falerno del Massico DOC) or the Campi Flegrei DOC that hugs the shoreline just north of Napoli. Yet even inland in Benevento (Sannio DOC) and in Avellino, Falanghina maintains its healthy acidity.
This is a wine with lovely aromatics; apple and pear are most common, but today, the best bottlings offer greater complexity in their perfumes, including notes of quince, acacia, white peaches and even some tropical fruits such as kiwi or guava. As the aromatics are so special, most offerings are aged in stainless steel; an exception is the "Caracci" bottling from Villa Matilde.
The best examples of Falanghina available in the United States today include:
- Mastroberardino "Morabianca"
- Feudi di San Gregorio "Serrocielo"
- Villa Matilde "Caracci"
- La Sibilla "Cruna deLago"
These cru bottlings are priced in the $22-28 range. However there are many fine examples of Falanghina labeled as Sannio DOC or Beneventano IGT that are less expensive, well-made wines (often priced in the mid-teens); these include bottlings from Mastroberardino and Vinosia.
Feudi di San Gregorio also produces a lovely sparkling Falanghina as part of its DUBL series, which is co-produced with the French Champagne firm Selosse. As you might guess from the natural acidity of Falanghina, this is a nicely structured wine; the aromatics of pear and lemon along with a light yeastiness makes for a lovely wine.
Given its high acidity, Falanghina is ideal with shellfish.
Everyone knows about the gorgeous seaside setting of the Amalfi Coast, but few realize this is an excellent wine zone as well (Costa d'Amalfi DOC). Here growers use the traditional pergola system of training the vines; in this system, the overhead canopy protects the grapes from too much sun.
Vintners along the Amalfi Coast work with several white varieties not found elsewher; these incude Fenile, Ginestra and Biancolella. Most of the whites produced here are blends, offering lovely aromatics (most notably citrus, pear and melon) with vibrant acidity. Usually non-oak aged, most of the bottlings are meant for consumption within 2-3 years of the vintage date; they are perfect with local shellfish such as vongole, the tiny clams from the sea.
Among the best producers of white wine from the Amalfi Coast are:
- Marisa Cuomo
- Giuseppe Apicella
- Tenuta San Francesco
Marisa Cuomo, along with her husband/winemaker Andrea Ferraioli, is recognnized as one of Italy's finest white wine producers. Their most famous wine, Fiorduva, is a powerful Amalfi blend fermented in barrique.
There are a few other excellent areas for white wine in Campania, including the island of Ischia, off the coast of Napoli. Here producers struggle with high winds and other conditions to make white blends from varieties such as Forestera and Biancolella. Top producers from Ischia include Pietratorcia and Casa d'Ambra.
In the province of Caserta, there are a few producers working with Pallagrello Bianco; this variety is quite unique in that the aromatics are not fresh melon and pear, but more along the lines of dried herbs, flowers (such as acacia) and a distinct nuttiness. These wines remind one of Campania's past! Look for producers such as Alois and Terre del Principe.
Finally, a white variety named Aspirinio is grown in Caserta in northern Campania. The vines of Aspirinio in the Aspirinio di Aversa DOC are trained to poles and reach as high as 30 feet off the ground, meaning pickers must climb ladders to harvest the grapes. While a dry white and sparkling version of Aspirinio di Aversa is produced, the most famous version is the passito bottling.

See Dave Grohl and Fred Armisen Honor the 'Sexiest Elbows in Rock'
Split Single's Jason Narducy promotes his solo LP with brilliantly stupid video
There are many ways to promote an album, but we have to give Jason Narducy originality points for the way he's getting the word out about his band Split Single, which also includes Spoon's Britt Daniel and Superchunk's Jon Wurster. After releasing a trio of tracks from the group's debut album, Narducy opted to forego a traditional music video and instead now unveils a fake documentary about his unique physical attributes titled "The Sexiest Elbows in Rock Music." In addition to his bandmates, the video features cameos by Dave Grohl, Bob Mould (whose current band includes both Narducy and Wurster), Margaret Cho (who sucks on his 'bwos), Tim Meadows, and Fred Armisen in his Ian Rubbish guise. Split Single's Fragmented World is due out April 1.

Bethesda's fifth Elder Scrolls game, like Oblivion before it, will allow for extensive player customization, according to the developer. "We've always been impressed with what the community has done with our tools," a rep for the company said on its forums, revealing, "Like the Elder Scrolls Construction Set for Morrowind and Oblivion, we plan to release [a] Creation Kit so you guys can mod Skyrim."
The immediate predecessor, Oblivion, has seen countless mods -- everything from new characters to online play. We can only imagine what the Skyrim community will manage to create while we wait for Bethesda to finish the most ambitious Skyrim mod, Fallout 4.

One year ago, an April game between the Carolina Hurricanes and the Washington Capitals would be a huge deal. The main reason the Caps made the 2013 playoffs was Carolina's swoon. Now, the picture couldn't be more different. This game didn't matter to either team– and it showed.
And I get to recap it! Lucky me. I'm sure you guys are just lining up to read this.
Joel Ward scored from Fehr and Chimera early on. Then Chimera scored from Fehr and Ward. Jiri Tlusty notched a shorthanded goal against the suckasoft Caps PP defense, but Troy Brouwer restored the two-goal lead with a one-timer off Marcus' great cross-slot pass. Eric Fehr scored from Chimera and Ward. Brouwer notched another goal in the third. Radek Dvorak rearranged your keyboard with a late goal for the Canes, but it was already over– on multiple levels.
Caps beat Canes 5-2. This changes everything.

Domaine de Beauvois, Luynes
France 37230
Tel: 33 2 47 55 50 11
Concierge.com's insider take:
An ornate chandelier and grand stone fireplace preside over the dining room of this luxury château, but the food being served is anything but old-fashioned. Expect first-rate produce and nods to other culinary traditions as well as low-calorie options and simple meats grilled a la plancha. The menu changes often but has included standouts such as a cocktail glass of green-pea froth and crab with grains of quinoa, and pike perch beautifully offset by rhubarb (stewed and in compote form) and vanilla sauce. Desserts offer variations around a theme, such as apricots, strawberries, or chocolate presented three ways. The service strikes just the right balance between enthusiasm, good humor, and discretion, with a knowledgeable young sommelier to guide you through the wine list. Don't miss the superb cheese trolley, either, selected by Rodolphe Le Meunier, a world-champion cheesemaster.
Open Mondays through Sundays 12:30 to 2 pm and 7:30 to 9:30 pm.

The Genetic Engineering Approval Committee (GEAC), India's bio-technology regulator, has approved commercial cultivation of genetically modified (GM) Bt Brinjal. If also approved by the government, it will become the first genetically modified food crop in India. Will the Centre go ahead and permit the open cultivation of a GM food crop, without labelling laws in place?
Minister of State for Environment and Forests Jairam Ramesh confirmed that the GEAC had given its approval for the environmental release of the Bt Brinjal, but said the government was yet to take a decision on the recommendations of the committee.
Talking to reporters here on Wednesday, Mr. Ramesh said the GEAC's recommendations and the review committee report had been submitted but these would be studied in depth before a final decision.
He said the GEAC had recommended that an expert committee, set up to assess its impact, had suggested the commercial release of Bt Brinjal.
"There are arguments in favour and against and these will take lot of time to study before a final decision is taken. But I have been told that the committee has recommended introduction of Bt Brinjal for commercial cultivation."
Amid concerns over the lack of bio-safety data of such crops having environmental implications and strong opposition from the civil society groups and non-governmental organisations, Mr. Ramesh said the final decision would not be taken under the influence of any company or any NGO, and it was wrong to say that the final approval had been given. "I believe that the GEAC is a professional body and respect its autonomy. The decision will be taken in a democratic and transparent manner," Mr. Ramesh said.
Disapproves of protest
Strongly disapproving of the manner in which the NGOs, particularly Greenpeace, had registered its protest, the Minister said it amounted to blackmailing. Greenpeace activists had been sending thousands of faxes from across the world.
GM crops are those in which genetic material (DNA) is altered for some perceived advantage either to the producer or the consumer. There are four varieties of brinjals on the table for approval with the important one being cry 1Ac. The research is also part of a USAID programme called Agri-Biotechnology Support Programme (ABSP) under a private-public partnership where three Indian institutions — the Indian Institute of Vegetable Research (Varanasi), the University of Agricultural Sciences (Dharwad) and the Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (Coimbatore) are working with Monsanto and Mahyco.
Bt Brinjal has been under trial for the past nine years and was first sent to the GEAC for approval in 2004. It was cleared by a panel led by Deepak Pental but a review committee was constituted in 2007 when civil society groups and NGOs raised doubts over health safety and environmental concerns. The outcome of this committee was discussed on Wednesday.
The outcome of this committee was discussed on Wednesday and the GEAC cleared the commercial cultivation of Bt. brinjal.

Great Company
Flower Flourish Rectangle Invitations This was the first company that as I changed things on the invitation it actually showed me what it would look like! It was very easy to use and stress free!!!!!!!!
Just what I wanted
Soothing Blue Rectangle Invitations Extremely pleased with Magnet Street! Our invites we're stunning! Elegant and personal. However, deducted a star because they don't have the option of purchasing INNER envelopes for sending. Had to buy a set on my own and used Magnet Street's as the inner. If that isn't an issue or you can accommodate by purchasing your own, this is an excellent product!
Perfect Invitation for Us
An Embrace Rectangle Invitations Was having a difficult time finding something that fit "us." This is absolutely what I was looking for - simple with a bit of sophistication. I love working with MagnetStreet!
Flower Flourish Rectangle Invitations We have gotten so many compliments on our suite of Flower Flourish stationary. The paper was such high quality, the colors true, and the design simple and elegant. The editing suite on Magnet Street is really effective, and you definitely get a good sense of what it is going to look like in person.

"Realized I gave my heart to someone that didn't care at all and I found it crying in the corner."
"I wish you would open your eyes and realize what you have before it's gone. You keep pushing me away from you and every time I have to fight my way back in. The fight in me is slowly dying and once it's gone, I'll be gone too, and I won't be coming back."

Dion's Thursday ETF Winners and Losers
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Welcome to Don Dion's "ETF Winners and Losers." Be sure to stop by throughout the week to find out which ETFs are gaining or losing.
United States Natural Gas Fund (UNG) 5.9%
After a steep three-day decline, the natural gas futures-tracking UNG is back to levels seen prior to its late-January rally. The fund appears to have found some footing, however, preventing it from testing all-time lows.
The recent back-and-forth action indicates that, although we have seen some strength, the road ahead for this troubled corner of the energy spectrum will be far from smooth.
Market Vectors Vietnam ETF (VNM) 3.9% The Vietnam ETF is surging higher, locking in a fifth consecutive day of gains. Though impressive, investors should exercise caution before diving in. In addition to revisiting its November highs, the fund is fast approaching its 200-day moving average. It will be interesting to see if these levels pose as a point of resistance. Guggenheim China Small Cap ETF (HAO) 2.2% The China-related ETFs reopened on a sour note following the week-long Lunar New Year holiday. In the ensuing days, however, strength appears to have returned as HAO and the iShares FTSE China 25 Index Fund (FXI) has had three days of gains. HAO is currently trading at a level that has shown to be a point of resistance on a number of occasions in recent months. FXI, meanwhile, is trading at brand new 2012 highs. SPDR S&P Metals & Mining ETF (XME) 1.8% As the U.S. markets head higher, confidence is driving investors back into market-correlated industries. Miners, for example are powering higher as sentiment improves regarding global growth. The upward action is also leading investors back into risky industries. While their gains are encouraging, extreme caution is warranted when testing funds like the Market Vectors Rare Earth/Strategic Metals Index ETF (REMX) and Guggenheim Solar ETF (TAN). Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) 1.6% Gold is powering higher toward the end of the week. While gold miners are leading the climb, bullion backed products like the SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) are also gaining ground. Silver is improving as well. The Global X Silver Miners ETF (SIL) and the iShares Silver Trust (SLV) are both up.Losers

Screengrab via 30fps
Screengrab via 30fps
San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh appears in need of serious psychotherapy. He wills rivalries into existence, holds grudges past their sell-by dates, believes in his own correctness even when all evidence points to the opposite conclusion, never settles, and may or may not use a Sharpie as a talisman. At the same time, he's been a startlingly effective coach; the sort that players gravitate towards and feed off in times of need. He's both a lunatic and a football savant. He also may be the one figure who best exemplifies what's simultaneously impressive and oppressive about the contemporary NFL.
To understand the contradictions that Harbaugh presents, it's perhaps best to start at his stop before the Niners—about 30 minutes south at Stanford; it's 20 minutes north if you go by Niners HQ in Santa Clara. At any rate, it's close in more ways than one. Harbaugh took the Stanford job in 2007, succeeding middle-manager incarnate Walt Harris after a one-win season in which the Cardinal rarely crossed midfield and executed several quick-kick punts on third down. Stanford had just finished off the worst five-year stretch in program history and seemed to conform to all possible suggestions that its student-athletes were too interested in their studies (or just the possibilities of life) and so incapable of keeping up with the increasing professionalization of college football.
In his first press conference, Harbaugh challenged Pac-10 stalwart USC, at that time the most successful program in the country, and professed that he would attack the job with "an enthusiasm unknown to mankind," the sort of awkward statement of prowess that has since become a Harbaugh trademark. I was a Stanford senior when Harbaugh was hired, and stories circulated pretty much immediately that he tried to convince a large group of donors that we should start referring to the consistently half-empty Stanford Stadium as "Painsville."
Shockingly, Harbaugh's teams were able to back up the considerable talk. Stanford beat USC that season in arguably the biggest upset in college football history, won the Big Game against Cal after five consecutive losses, and, perhaps most impressively, looked like a real live football team despite having roughly the same talent as the prior season. Against all odds, Harbaugh convinced a bunch of good students that they were a blue-collar outfit fully capable of bullying any opponent. They blocked better, hit harder, and invited more flags for personal fouls. The Cardinal were suddenly dangerous.
Harbaugh eventually improved recruiting and turned Stanford into a building power, but those first few seasons most clearly communicate his approach to coaching. He took a flatly horrible team and almost immediately convinced them they were everything everyone said they weren't. On a basic level, he managed this task by demanding excellence in the nuts and bolts of football—blocking schemes, positional coaching, team rules, and so on. But that only really worked because Harbaugh traded conventional wisdom for the irrational. Stanford couldn't compete with USC, but he said they would, and so they did; the players liked school, but he said they were tough guys, and so they were; the school had no recruiting disadvantage, but he told recruits otherwise, and so they signed their letters of intent.
Harbaugh has displayed that same force of personality in the NFL. He's occasionally flippant towards other coaches (as evidenced by his controversial quasi-handshakewith the Detroit Lions' Jim Schwartz after a tight win in 2011) and has continued the long and self-created rivalry with Seattle Seahawks' Pete Carroll that began with Harbaugh's initial USC comments and escalated after Harbaugh ran up the score in 2009to give the Trojans the most lopsided loss in school history. On the sidelines, Harbaugh is far from a calming influence, gesticulating wildly after what he perceives to be terrible calls, and which usually aren't. He's also a very ineffective replay challenger, seemingly because he can't imagine a scenario in which his opinion that his team should get the ball can be overturned by visual evidence. Watch Harbaugh for a full game, and you might get the impression that he's unhinged, a lunatic who couldn't hold down a job in most any other profession. With every new piece of evidence, it appears more obvious that this is not an act. He really is a big crazy weirdo.
Despite its fundamental conservatism, that doesn't mean he's out of place in the NFL, a league that's always found room for eccentric personalities. The rub is that they typically have to conform to some expectation of football orthodoxy. Richard Sherman can talk all the trash he likes as long as he backs it up with sound bump-and-run coverage; Ray Lewis can dance like a buffoon if his moves can be spoken of as an extension of his leadership ability; Michael Irvin can guarantee wins provided that he proves himself to be a clutch performer. Every transgression must be attended by something familiar. In most cases, that same transgression becomes untenable the moment the person fails. What used to be known as confidence becomes the flaw of hubris, and what once seemed like a revolutionary approach to a particular position gets consigned to history as a failed attempt to upset the natural order.
Harbaugh is in many ways a very familiar type of coach. For all his bravado, he has proven himself humble enough to trust in his assistants and delegate certain strategic decisions. The Niners are also good in part because they execute their game plans—it's not as if they succeed simply because Harbaugh wills them to do so. That blind belief in the vague triumph of managerial toughness over observable football reality was what sank Mike Singletary, his predecessor.
On a more superficial level, Harbaugh's teams play a classic style of football that emphasizes domination in the trenches, an offense that moves the ball predominantly via the ground, and a hard-hitting defense. These are things that every team wants to do, of course, but Harbaugh fetishizes them. His formations can verge on self-parody—three tight ends, one of whom is a converted lineman, with a 330-pound nose tackle lined up as a fullback for good measure.
This is not to say that Harbaugh is secretly the most conservative coach in the NFL, just as no one would say Robert Griffin III is a conventional quarterback simply because he's an efficient pocket passer. As is usually the case with this sort of thing, the reality isn't so binary. Certain rebellious tendencies don't undermine what would otherwise be a noble purity; staid conservatism doesn't ruin what would otherwise be a step towards a better future. The two poles exist at the same time, with various elements revealing themselves depending on the situation and context.
Nevertheless, while this relationship between the orthodox and unorthodox is common to the NFL, it's very different to experience it through a head coach. The stereotypical NFL coach is a few things: white, middle-aged, quick to anger, enamored of visors, almost certainly Republican if a voter at all, etc. But their conservativism isn't only limited to appearance—it inflects the way in which they lead the team. The fundamental NFL approach, regardless of the complexity of the scheme, is dependent on getting amazing athletes to execute a plan as flawlessly as possible. Players are implemented rather than put in a position to express themselves, as in the college philosophy of "putting a guy in space." It's a system based not just on professionalism but on a very specific and narrow ideal of professionalism, and also on an attention to craft, the idea that if everyone does their job and doesn't deviate from the plan everything will fall into place.
Harbaugh believes in this same general formula—the 49ers aren't running backyard plays or disregarding the sport's rules of engagement. But Harbaugh's frankly unhinged style isn't vestigial to the team's personality. The Niners don't punch the clock: they make a point of hitting hard, often after the whistle. They talk trash. They revel in blowouts. Like their coach, they are fundamentally indecent.
In other words, their brand of football embraces the more sordid aspects of a sport that, in its contemporary form, is pretty damn close to organized combat. This should be unsettling for fairly obvious reasons, especially as more and more former players lose their lives to CTE. And yet it's also pretty damn thrilling, if only because the 49ers look ecstatic to be doing it. It's difficult to watch them play without coming away extremely impressed with the athletic gifts of Colin Kaepernick, or the career-spanning toughness of Frank Gore, or the ball instincts of Dashon Goldson, or the pure pass-rushing abilities of Aldon Smith. There's a sense that Harbaugh's fuck-it-all attitude actually frees players to express their full potential on the field. They come across not as cogs in a plan, but as the select few capable of meeting the incredible expectations placed upon them. It's telling that Harbaugh's defining decision of the 49ers' season—the decision to start Kaepernick over Alex Smith, a game manager who came within two muffed punts of the Super Bowl a year ago—traded stability for a higher ceiling and opened up new offensive possibilities. The team performs its best when it explores all the possibilities afforded to it.
It's fun to watch. Yet, despite these heights of self-actualization, everything about the 49ers now reads like an extension of the Harbaugh brand. His inspiration trickles down from on high. He is a totalizing presence, a coach who demands excellence and, upon receipt, upstages his players with the sort of histrionics we tend to associate with prima donna receivers. He demands attention. His teams ratify his will. He is the volatile, thrashing soul of the NFL come to life.

What's in a name?
Potentially, a lot of money.
That's what Jason Sadler believes, and it's the reason he is auctioning off his last name, at the aptly named website Buymylastname.com.
Yes, that's right. Sadler, the 30-year-old founder of Iwearyourshirt.com, is "subletting" his name to the highest bidder for a whole year.
What gives? Is Sadler just sick of his last name, or is this all a shameless publicity stunt?
Both, actually — along with a mini identity crisis. "Throughout my life, I've had three separate last names, none of which have carried any real meaning for me or my sense of identity," Sadler writes on his website. "Though I'm incredibly close with the members of my family, I've never gotten my sense of self from any family lineage or last name. Instead, my sense of self has come from the hard work I've put in to building my company."
So when his mother told him earlier this year that she was divorcing his stepfather, Sadler laughed and said, "Now I've got to change my last name, too!"
He was joking — sort of. But then he and his colleagues at I Wear Your Shirt, a marketing firm in Jacksonville, Fla., were brainstorming ways to get more exposure. And then it hit him. "I want to change my name anyway," he told ABC News. "Let's see what the world picks for me."
On Nov. 1, Sadler launched his website, with bidding set at zero. To date, 22 companies have placed a bid, with a high of $34,500 by JLabAudio. After the auction, which ends Dec. 12 at midnight, Sadler will legally change his name in the state of Florida, and on his Twitter, Facebook and YouTube accounts. Under the terms and conditions, Sadler is only requiring a 25 percent down payment, with the remaining 75 percent to be paid by Jan. 2, 2013.
"I'm going to buy a domain for whatever my new last name is," he said. "That will be my new personal blog for the next year." He will also use the new name as his byline for various articles and blog posts.
Sadler is no stranger to transforming gross self-promotion into lucre. Since founding his firm in 2008, Sadler has earned about $500,000 a year helping such companies as Doritos, Pepperidge Farm and Pizza Hut publicize themselves. For a fee of $3,000 per week, Sadler wears a shirt with the company logo. He'll also shoot promotional videos of himself in said shirt, which he shares with his 23,232 Facebook fans and 40,522 Twitter followers.
He even wore a shirt for Bill Cosby. "Cosby was launching a 'clean' hip-hop album, with no cursing, in 2009," said Sadler. "He launched his Facebook page then, too."
Sadler said he would invest the profits of his name change into his company, with 10 percent going to the charity Cheerful Givers, which provides birthday gift bags to disadvantaged children.
And when the year is up, who knows? "I'm not going to change it back to Sadler. I'll either pick a random last name or put it up for auction," he said. "I really haven't thought about it yet."
Jason Internet has a nice ring to it.
