Katatonia released last year's most unique and engaging metal release with the Night Is The New Day album – an all-encompassing listening experience perfectly suited to the dark winter days currently falling over the UK. Guitarist met up with founder member Anders 'Blakkheim' Nyström to discuss the making of the album, especially the guitar gear and playing behind it.
Please note: this interview was conducted before the announced departure of guitarist Fredrik Norrman and bassist Mattias Norrman from the band.
You collaborated with a musicians outside the band, keyboard player Frank Default, for this album. It sounds like has had a lot of influence on the sound…
"I think he had a lot of influence. He's basically been the guy that's taken care of all the sounds that aren't a guitar. Of course we always like to experiment with sounds ourselves – that sound like a keyboard but are played on guitars. We like to cross all borders between keyboard and guitars.
"But Frank is just a super talented guy in his field. Jonas [Renkse, vocals] and I are very interested in that, we know how to get some sounds going but we're not good piano players or anything like that. We actually worked with him before where we gave him the chance to be involved with the remix of a song. We decided that the three of us sit would down and make it a 100 per cent collaboration on this album – that's what we needed to do in order to top ourselves. We really didn't want to make a clone of The Great Cold Distance album. We wanted to do something beyond our core song – even though we will always be based on a rock and metal sound. I think it's very, very interesting to add sounds where you don't really know what is making them [as a listener] – it can be a guitar or a keyboard but it's basically a soundscape that creates more depth. I think the collaboration with him made the album so much more three-dimensional."
It's almost orchestral…
"Exactly. He had his own Fender Rhodes piano which he brought in. It was really good to hear that. He actually did more on the album than was needed, we didn't need to ask him to come in and do more. We filtered it so it didn't become something that wasn't Katatonia."
When did he come into the process?
"We gave him the demos pretty early and said, just go and add your stuff and we will filter it through different stages."
How did that affect the approach of yourself and Fredrik with the guitars? Are you leaving more space in the music than you ever have before?
"Yes I think we were finding the spots that were vacant, so to speak. Filling the sound picture – not overdoing it but finding where the spaces were. There's really something in the mix of this album where there's something in every corner. And it's not just there for the sake of it – it has a value. That's why I say the production is very three-dimensional – especially when you listen to it through headphones. You will always notice something subtle going on in the background, you might not even know what it is."
It's really interesting to hear Jonas' vocals on this album – he has a lot of room to work in and his melodies have a lot of depth too; he's never going for the obvious path. It sounds like he's been given a free reign on this album – was that the case?
"Definitely. First of all, Jonas was the one who wrote most of the songs on this album; so he really stepped up on that part. That was a pleasant surprise. It's really a case of him maturing even further as a performer and vocalist. It's natural that more vocal melodies and hooks and lines are going to get more room. It all comes with the confidence growing. That's a pleasant thing for everybody – that makes it work. Then we're not stagnant and can always stay ahead."
Reading the updates on the website earlier in 2009, there was a point when you were pretty honest with fans about suffering from writer's block. The time you took has often paid off but it must have been frustrating for you…
"There's no reason for us to hide those facts because that's the truth. And now we've finally overcome the obstacles we're proud instead. We were so pressured by everything – ourselves as artists knowing we had to top the last album, also finding the motivation to do this. We have a pretty negative outlook on a lot of stuff here in life and when you go through these cycles, which are often the source of inspiration for Katatonia, it can be hard sometimes to even find the motivation to go on.
"We tried [to start work on the album] a couple of times but we didn't get there. It had worked flawlessly in the past – we'd always set up a date and work towards that, counting on having all the material ready in time for that. It worked perfectly in the past but this time it didn't and I think it's because we've come to a point where we have to step up a lot more. I don't know how much further you can take things without having to change. There's only so far you can go with a certain kind of style before you have to look sideways to get out of there.
"I don't think that we've found ourselves in a dead end here but we needed the motivation to kick ourselves in the ass and find what was there the whole time, waiting for us. I think what really opened things up was that Jonas stepped up and wrote the majority of the album's material. It showed that nothing is wrong if I don't do anything, that was interesting."
You're undeniably a band that writes albums, as opposed to just collections of songs but even so, this feels like the most cohesive album you've ever made. Do you feel that it is a start to finish journey for the listener?
"It is. When people ask me what my favourite song is, it's the hardest question to answer. How can I pick out just one? We made the whole album and we made a track list order to constitute one listen from start to end and then you should feel something after that. I think affects you a lot more than when you're just picking out certain songs. I really urge people to dive into this album and give it a chance from start to finish to see what it will do."
There's a lot of textural guitar playing from yourself and Fredrik on the album but there's also the heaviest tones you've ever had. What's changed in terms of your gear and tunings?
"We're keeping the tuning to C but also dropping the lower E string one step down on a couple of songs. But we managed to dial in this superb crunchy drill-like contemporary guitar sound. It's not annoying in any way; it's not too brutal but when we hit certain kinds of notes it sounds massive immediately. We wanted to have this balance because we didn't want that element of the guitars to stick out too much – they had to be part of the overall package. They really had to be the foundation of the production. But it was so easy to find the sound this time. We've got a new endorsement from Laboga amps in Poland and it literally took us twenty minutes to dial in the sound on this album. It was crazy! In the past we've worked for one or two days just trying to find the right tone, always experimenting with different types and mic signals from different cabinets. But this time it was super easy and that was very encouraging."
Laboga are quite a small company…
"They're fairly unknown but it's superb stuff – when we heard them we just said, wow. It was something we were chasing before – you always pick out something you like from every amp you play through but there hadn't been an amp that could do everything. With this Laboga amp [a Mr Hector Duo Master] it was twenty minutes and there you go – couldn't be better. It's an integral part of our new sound now."
What were your favourite effects to use for this album?
"One of my favourites is a [BOSS SG-1] Slow Gear pedal – it's beautiful and it creates this dream-like keyboard-esque effect. It lands somewhere in the twilight zone between a guitar and a keyboard. Of course I'm a big fan of delay too – I always experiment with it. Analogue delays – even hooking up different delays at the same time with different time signatures – and backwards delays. I'm a real sucker for effects pedals and we just brought in tons of them for this recording. We also used the [Electro-Harmonix chorus] Small Stone box too. It's like a peaceful wall of sound or something – really nice. On the distortion side we kept everything pure – it's compressed but natural amp distortion."
Can you pick a favourite delay pedal?
"Electro-Harmonix Memory Man – we had that hooked up the whole time. It's amazing. That's one I'll definitely have to put into my rig!"
You used to use a BOSS GT3 unit live, has that changed now?
"The GT-3 goes back to 1999 and it's been a steady companion for every gig we've done since then. I can't believe it's still working! It does have a life of it's own though – changing parameters on some presets. But it's been such a loyal friend and we've really based a lot of our sound out of that. But we've said the time has come to retire it because you can't trust it anymore. I don't what's in it now – it's not just digital, it's mixed with beer and whatever! We've recently moved over to the TC Electronic G-System so we're going full on with that one. We experimented a lot with different pedals before – we used a [Damage Control] Demonizer pedal for distortion but that wasn't really doing it for us. Now we've got the LaBoga amps and we're hooking them up with the G-System and basically that's all we need to have a good rig."
Do you feel this is going to be a challenging album to recreate live?
"Not on the guitar front – that's going to be covered. But I think we're going to have to sort out the keyboard parts very, very well. We're talking about bringing him [Frank Default] in on a live setting – that would sort everything out. But if we don't do that we need to hook up all the backing tracks for it to represent what we've done on this album. In the past we had a little bit of a different approach – what you hear on the album is one thing, but what you're going to see in the live setting is more rock n' roll, we're going to strip it down. At the same time we've never used this amount of keyboards before so I think to do the new album justice we have to incorporate a lot more of that. That's going to be a challenge because we haven't used click tracks before and we would need that. If we use backing tracks for the keyboards, we'd need click tracks for the drummer. It's a challenge – we're still caught up in the Motörhead rock n' roll setup! "
So Frank isn't a full member of the band at this stage?
No I wouldn't say he's a full member yet. He's still at the stage where we would turn to him for another collaboration. It's evaluation time here – if he fits in with the band and everything goes smooth… I mean it's also about the personal and social aspect of course, as a human being. We've had the same line-up for ten years now without any change – that's a pretty long time. Before that we had changes all over the place, we never found the right people so we're pretty picky right now that everyone has to fit. You don't want to bring just anyone into the Katatonia family but we get along with frank very well. He's a very talented guy and someone we would need at this point in time."
The limited edition 'Swedish' version of the album includes a bonus track called Ashen, but it was interesting to see that you haven't tagged it on the end; instead it's before the final track Departer. Why did you decide to do that?
It didn't sit on the end. We put down a lot of emphasis on the track order of the album to really have a flow going and when they said we needed a Swedish… that's a stupid word by the way – it's nothing to do with Sweden or anything, only Swedes can biuy it or whatever – that's stupid. It's just a nice word for a limited edition. So they [the label] said we want one bonus song on that one and we said we can't tag it on the end because the end song is there for a very, very fine reason. So we tried to squeeze it in and that was the best position we could find. But it's still not ideal for us to have it there, but what can you do!
It's also going to be on the vinyl as well. The reason this song is not on the normal version is because we didn't find a good position for it to flow in the record and we also feel that the song is a little bit strange. It's not a bad song by any means, it's just a little bit strange. That's probably the politically correct way of saying it. [laughs]"
You have two Mayones signature guitars now – a Setius and a Regius. How did you end up endorsing the company?
"It goes back to 2005 – they actually contacted me and I was just going through a lot of offers at the time. I hadn't made up my mind where I wanted to go because I'm a fan of guitars – I've got a lot of different models. I was always a fan of the Gibson SG, I'd used that one live a lot. The Les Paul was always a very reliable guitar when we were in the studio. I also had Fernandes guitars because I was a big fan of the sustainer. But Mayones approached me and said, If you want to hook up with us we can make all of that stuff you have now into one guitar for you. I thought, wow – how can I refuse that offer? So I sent them all my preferences, what I liked about the guitars I had and made them put that sustainer pickup from Fernandes into the guitar as well. It is the guitar I'd dream about! They are really reliable – I can use them live and in the studio and I don't really have an urge to use any other guitars so I'm super pleased with that. It's very cool for me to have two model ranges. One is the version with the neck-thru, the other is a bolt-on so more budget but still very, very nice guitar to play."
What are you using with your other band, Bloodbath?
"I've got one other one – It's based on the bolt-on model but it's equipped with EMGs because I don't need the sustainer in that. Bloodbath is full on death metal so it should be easy – one cable into the amp and let's go!"
Do you think having Bloodbath as an outlet for the extreme metal side on your playing has benefited Katatonia?
"Yes it does, definitely – it just cleanses you. Death metal was around for us even before Katatonia was born, we were fans of that music style in our teens so that will always be dear to us. It will always be there in our hearts. I choose to call it [Bloodbath] a vacation from Katatonia because it's just a pleasure to do it. There's no real struggle to get there with a new album; the writing comes easy, it just flows out and it's just fun. It's fun in the studio, it's fun on the stage – no compromises, you know? Death metal wakes up the balance here of the whole equilibrium. Musically I have a pretty broad taste so I want to keep all my inner demons fed here. By having Bloodbath on the extreme side and Katatonia on the other side it's perfect for me."
Back to Katatonia, there's some really soulful and subtle lead playing from you on this album – especially Idle Blood and Inheritance…
"That's nice to hear. I'm not a shredder type of guy, I never really had the interest learn that stuff and go all the way there. I was always more into lead players who didn't go into full solo [mode] but totally focused on the emotion of each note. That's really where I'm comfortable and where I want to be."
You've always evolved as a player too – your signature on the earlier albums was harmony lead lines. Can you hear your influence on other bands – such as Daylight Dies, for example?
"I do and it's also very flattering because they quote me sometimes [as an inspiration]. But in turn I name Greg Mackintosh of Paradise Lost – he was the one that really did it for me back in the day. I think his tone stood out from everybody at the time. Then it was about taking that and doing something from it so that it becomes your own tone. I think that has a lot to do with your fingers but also what effects you use. When everything comes together that's what the output will be. But it's very flattering that some bands name me as an influence on their guitar playing – that's wonderful to hear. I don't really think about my self in those terms at all. I feel that I am the fan!"
Who were your other early inspirations on guitar?
"Before that, one of the biggest reasons for me to pick up the guitar was [KK] Downing and [Glenn] Tipton from Judas Priest. Their whole harmonic duel lead work on their albums was amazing for me and as a kid I was really impressed by the V shaped guitars they had. I'm a big fan of that. And Wolf Hoffman from Accept was a big influence for me in the beginning. He still has one of the greatest tones on the guitar that I've ever heard – it's fantastic. I even had to write him an e-mail to ask about it and I was surprised I got a personal answer from him saying exactly what setup he had! Tipton, Downing and Hoffman were the biggest inspirations from me in the early days."
How would you describe the differences between yourself and Fredrik as guitar players?
"He is the kind of guy who doesn't play wrong – you very rarely hear him play mistakes. He's a very reliable guitar player. And when we hear certain kinds of intervals between the notes or riffs we have this thing, we immediately say it's typical Fredrik. Because, ironically, it always has this little flavour that there's something wrong in it. Like the time signature is really strange but he's not really aware of it himself. He's not doing it consciously. That's some kind of natural hidden talent with him.
"I would really hope to see him step up a little bit more with the writing because he's been very passive on that front lately. But he did an album recently with his side project October Tide that we are yet to hear – we haven't heard it yet."
Wow, I had no idea there was going to be another October Tide album…
"Jonas [who played on the previous two October Tide albums] isn't on it. I don't really know what other guys he used but it's supposed to be finished. Maybe he's shopping for a deal with it. It's going to be interesting to hear it. There's probably a lot of surprises going on with that one – but at the same time it shows he can write. I would say he should step up and next time give me half a Katatonia album to work on! [laughs]"
This is your last album for Peaceville under your current deal – do you know if you'll stay on with them?
"I can't say for sure. Labels are coming from all directions and putting offers under our noses for us to sniff at. It's a crazy time but it's exciting here. I think we have a lot of new doors here and we're on the threshold just looking at the crossroads to decide where we want to go. Luckily we have new management now – Northern Music Andy Farrow [Opeth]. He's very good at this."
It's good to see you touring with bands like Porcupine Tree and Paradise Lost…
"He's responsible for that – we're definitely in good hands with that. He'll know whether we should resign or whether we're going to move on. I think it's nice not to have that burden on our own shoulders – at the end of the day who are we? We just want to be the musicians. We don't want to make all the business decisions because we've been doing that for a long time. That was also the reason there was a three year gap between albums. You just get too drained from doing all the business all the time, at a time when you what to be inspired to find the magic to create a new album. But Peaceville have been good lately – everything we did on the last album was great, we got three singles, we got three videos out of it. We got a lot of support and they are very easy to talk to now."
You must be proud that Katatonia have progressed to the point where you could feasibly tour with a band like The Cure as well as heavy metal bands?
"Yes, for us it's always important to have an open mind – we always wanted to stick out. We have our roots; we have our foundation in metal and rock but we're never closing the doors on any other kind of music style. We can go there, grab something we like out of it and incorporate that back into Katatonia. And it's still going to be Katatonia.
"It's funny because if some stubborn, narrow-minded guys say, You were great on your first album when you were a death metal band, it's really funny to say to the guy, You should know about the influences we had on that album. They were totally outside of metal even at that time – The Cure, Fields Of The Nephilim, a lot of singer/songwriter material – we just mirrored that into our metal sound. That person wouldn't have probably had a clue about it. It's really healthy for us to keep an open mind – we don't want to stagnate and be these narrow-minded people that have to be metal for the sake of it. Of course we love that sound and that's where we comfortable being at, but there's so much more music you're going to miss out on. There's so much talent out there that needs to be heard."
Lastly, can you choose one album that's had the most effect on you as the guitarist?
"I would say, if I really think about my career as a guitarist and a musician, I would have to say Gothic by Paradise Lost. The guitar work on that album is the reason I went on to form Katatonia and get my tone. "

Did/does she get along well with lets say Lennons half sister and co or give money to his "real" family ? I heard something about her issuing the release of Seans album so it would come out on exactly the same day as Julians.
Wonder if she makes sure they are "OK" for money... I know McCartney does not care about Ruth McCartney and did awful things in that department!! But then that's not blood family.

In Years Past
100 Years Ago
In 1913, one of the largest and most important real estate deals in the city of Jamestown in many years had been closed up by which the extensive L.B. Warner property on Market Street, formerly Steel Street, had been transferred to Harry G. Lyons, the well-known lumber dealer. Lyons expected to greatly improve the property and had already begun foundations on the western side for a three-story office and store house, back of which would be located his own lumber yards.
Willard Case, the 11-year-old son of Allen Case of Ivory, a small settlement near Jamestown, playing with a .22 caliber revolver in the forenoon, accidentally discharged the weapon. The bullet pierced his abdomen. As there was no means of properly caring for the boy at his home he was hurried to the WCA Hospital of Jamestown, where Dr. F.C. Purcell attended him. Dr. Purcell said he had sustained a serious wound and he could not at this time say what the outcome would be. The wounded boy was the great grandson of Mrs. Sarah Mason of Ivory, and her funeral was to be held in the afternoon at the home of Mrs. Frank Case, who was grandmother of the wounded boy.
75 Years Ago
In 1938, Capt. Clarence A. Fray of Company No. 1, Jamestown Fire Department, died at Jamestown General Hospital this afternoon following a sudden heart attack. He was admitted to the hospital only two hours before his death. He would have been 51 years old on April 6. Capt. Fray was one of the best known and one of the best loved among his associates of all members of the fire department. He performed his duty as a seasoned fireman without complaint. He was seldom absent from roll call and was on duty as late as 6 p.m. the previous day when the day shift under his command was relieved.
School building construction in New York state municipalities of less than 50,000 population jumped more than $20 million since the past July, the state education department said. Dr. William K. Wilson, acting director of the building and grounds division said that 41 school buildings were being constructed. "The reason for the increase," Dr. Wilson explained, "is the encouragement given to school building by the federal government which, under a law enacted the past year, would provide 45 percent of the construction costs for new school structures in an effort to eliminate hazards in present buildings."
50 Years Ago
In 1963, the first two girders of the Washington Street Bridge in Jamestown were put in place the previous afternoon on piers across the Erie-Lackawanna Railroad and the Chadakoin River. Erection of the steel framework would take about five weeks, according to estimates by riggers and engineers of the William Higgins & Sons Construction Co. Work in setting girders, braces and other connecting steel would continue this week despite windy and cold weather which hit Jamestown the previous night.
A penniless wanderer who had trudged 22,000 miles as the "Peace Pilgrim" chose Jamestown to start a New York state pilgrimage of some 1,000 miles. "Peace Pilgrim" was an aging but ageless small woman with sparkling blue eyes and gray hair. She had only one resolute goal – that of walking 25,000 miles in the name of "world peace." "Peace Pilgrim" would admit to no other name. That name had been official and legal since she rejected a material life 10 years ago in Los Angeles.
25 Years Ago
In 1988, the last of three informational meetings by Chautauqua County Legislature's Human Services Committee on implementing smoking regulations in public places was set for this evening in Jamestown City Council chambers. Committee Chairman Jackie L. Jackson, R-Kiantone, said a good turnout was hoped for in contrast to a March 7 meeting in Dunkirk which was poorly attended. She said those speaking at it were strongly in favor of the proposed restrictions on smoking in public places.
On the 20th anniversary of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination in Memphis, Tenn., the civil rights leader's message was still alive, but America remained racially divided, local black politicians said. As Americans remembered him for his ideas and goals of racial and social equality, civil rights activists throughout the country said that those goals had not been fully met and the poor still faced problems 20 years later. "I feel that most of the things he stood for are deteriorating fast," Jamestown City Councilman Vivian A. Taylor, D-Chadakoin, said. "He was looking for educational opportunities and now there is a significant dropout rate for blacks in high school and colleges."

From the U.S. State Department:
The Department of State warns U.S. citizens of the risks of traveling to Sudan, urges U.S. citizens to avoid all travel to the Darfur region of Sudan, the Blue Nile and Southern Kordofan States, and advises you to consider carefully the risks of travel in other areas of Sudan. On September 15, 2012, the Department of State ordered the departure of all dependents of U.S. direct hire personnel and all non-emergency U.S. government personnel from Sudan, following the attack on the U.S. Embassy in Khartoum. This Travel Warning replaces the Travel Warning issued on September 7, 2012.
While the Government of Sudan has taken some steps to limit the activities of terrorist groups, elements of these groups remain in Sudan and have threatened to attack Western interests. The terrorist threat level throughout Sudan, and particularly in the Darfur region, remains critical, and the U.S. Embassy has implemented enhanced security measures to protect U.S. government personnel assigned to Sudan. These measures include requiring U.S. government personnel to travel in armored government vehicles for official business, and to obtain advance permission for travel outside of Khartoum. In addition, family members under age 21 of U.S. Embassy personnel are not allowed to reside in Sudan. ...

It's the time of season when everybody starts 0-0. Hamline, the No. 5 seed (10-13-2 overall, 7-8-1 MIAC), opens the 2012 MIAC men's Hockey Playoffs Thursday at No. 4 St. Olaf (11-8-6, 7-6-3). Game time at the Northfield City Arena is set for 8:00 p.m.
It's been three months since these teams last saw each other. On November 18-19, HU spit a two-game set with the Oles, each team winning in their own rink. Despite outshooting the Oles, 26-25, HU ended up on the short end of a 4-0 score in the first game of the series. The Oles grabbed a 2-0 first period lead and held the Pipers at bay the rest of the way.
It was a different game the next night. Hamline moved smartly to a 3-0 second period lead only to see the Oles cut the margin to 3-2 after two periods. Austin Cihak made it 4-2 at 2:56 of the final frame. It proved to be a critical goal because the Oles countered with three minutes remaining.
HU again held a slight edge in shots, 32-29. The expected starting goalies (both seniors) have been superb for their respective teams. Beau Christian has been on fire lately for HU. He ran his consecutive minute shutout streak to nearly 200 minutes before giving up two in Hamline's season finale, a 2-1 loss to Concordia. St. Olaf's Ben Leis has been among the league leaders all season. He stands third in the league in Save Percentage (.927) and is tied for fourth in Goals-Against (2.24).
Most of the rest of the game's numbers are close, too. The Oles have a slight edge in Goals Scored (73-68). Hamline's 29 third period goals is the second highest figure in the league.
It makes for a good matchup with the winner getting a day to catch their breath before traveling to first place St. Thomas Saturday night (7:00 p.m.)
Two other notes for HU fans. Tickets are $7 for adults and $3 for students and will be available at the door. There is a high school section game scheduled prior to this game. This may delay the starting time.

The not-yet jetpackMonday, April 11th, 2011
The Martin Jetpack has now reached 100 feet, under radio control and with a dummy aboard, in New Zealand. By now, the goal it should have reached is the one where depositers get their machine. When it was shown in 2008, it could rise only six feet. The pilot (the inventor's son) said he didn't want to go higher because in his words he didn't want to crash, meaning the craft didn't have the stability it needed. Now, a computer keeps forward speeds and climb speeds low to prevent a loss of stability, but it does climb to 100 feet. It's always been a bit of an odd duck. It uses the term jetpack, yet it is a ducted fan driven by a gasoline engine built with advice from the outboard engine industry. It even sounds like one of those Mercury motorboat engines, although the inventor says he built it himself. Deliveries were to start in 2009 according to my 2008 story, but didn't. I recall the "managed" press image this machine enjoyed when it was shown at Oshkosh. There were few straight answers for reporters who didn't have the inside track. I wasn't allowed to fly it because a CNN reporter was promised the scoop. I couldn't see a preview flight because only the New Zealand press was invited. Now, I can wait.

Hewlett-Packard Takes $8.8B Charge From Autonomy: Hot Trends
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Popular searches on the Internet include Hewlett-Packard(HPQ) after the company said it took an $8.8 billion charge related to its acquisition of software firm Autonomy.
HP cited accounting issues that happened prior to its acquisition of Autonomy in 2011. CEO Meg Whitman said there were "serious accounting improprieties, disclosure failures and outright misrepresentations at Autonomy Corporation PLC." Whitman said the case has been referred to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.K.'s Serious Fraud Office.
HP said most of the charge in its latest quarter was tied to the fictitious accounting at Autonomy.
HP reported net revenue that fell 6.7% to $29.96 billion in the fiscal fourth quarter ended Oct. Analysts had been expecting $30.43 billion.
Excluding charges, HP earned $1.16 a share for the quarter, slightly beating analysts' expectations of $1.14 a share. For the next quarter, the company expects earnings to be 68 cents to 71 cents a share, excluding items, below analysts' expectations of 85 cents. HP did affirm its previously given earnings forecast for the fiscal year.
Hostess is trending as the Twinkie maker's liquidation plans have been put on hold.
Now that a federal bankruptcy judge delayed the company's plans to liquidate and sell off assets, Hostess will go into mediation Tuesday with the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers Union. Hostess management and the bakers' union will attempt to resolve the strike that Hostess said forced the company to shut down operations.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Robert Drain said Monday at a hearing in New York that to not have gone through mediation would leave "a huge question mark over this case." Drain attributed his decision to not approve Hostess' liquidation to the potential loss of over 18,000 jobs.
The bakers' union went on strike over pay cuts and reductions in benefits. Hostess said it would close down on Nov. 16, because the union's strike gave the company no other choice as it did not have enough workers to resume operations.
UBS(UBS) is another popular search. Former UBS trader Kweku Adoboli has been convicted of two counts of fraud in relation to a $2.3 billion loss at the Swiss bank.
Adoboli was charged with faking records to hide his losses after exceeding his trading limits and failing to hedge trades. Adoboli admitted to the losses, but had pleaded not guilty. He was cleared on four counts of false accounting.
Adoboli will be sentenced later Tuesday. Fraud charges carry a maximum sentence of 10 years in jail in the U.K.
The loss was the largest from unauthorized trading in British history.
The chatter on Main Street (a.k.a. Google, Yahoo! and other search sites) is always of interest to investors on Wall Street. Thus, each day, TheStreet compiles the stories that are trending on the Web, and highlights the news that could make stocks move.

Przewalski's wild horse is stocky with short legs and a short neck, looking very pony-like (Burton 1962). Its head is massive with a long face and a powerful jaw. The upper and lower incisors are used for cutting vegetation, while its many hypsodont cheek teeth are used for grinding. With eyes set far back in the skull, it is able to view a wide field, making the only blind spot directly behind its head. The ears are fairly long and erect, but can be moved for the localization of sounds (Lowry Park Zoo).
A stiff, erect blackish mane runs down the back. The legs are slender. The tail hairs are of graduated lengths. In the summer its pelage is short and smooth. back and sides are reddish-brown. The coloration turns to a yellowish white on its belly. In the winter its pelage becomes longer and lighter in color (Denver Zoo 1997).

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (April 20, 2012) – The U.S. men's beach volleyball teams of Phil Dalhausser and Todd Rogers along with Matt Fuerbringer and Nick Lucena remain alive in the consolation bracket of the Brasilia Open in Brazil, the opening event of the 2012 FIVB SWATCH World Tour.
The top-ranked U.S. men's team of Dalhausser (Ormond Beach, Fla.) and Rogers (Santa Barbara, Calif.), who lost on Thursday, came back with three victories on Friday over Denmark's 31st-ranked Bo Soderberg and Anders Lund Hoyer (21-18, 21-17 in 42 minutes); Austria's 23rd-seeded Alexander Huber and Robin Seidl (21-13, 21-19 in 38 minutes) and, in the longest match of the day, Brazil's sixth-ranked Marcio Araujo and Pedro Salgado (20-22, 21-14, 15-13 in 58 minutes).
On Saturday, in a repeat of the last two gold medal matches at the Brasilia Open, Dalhausser and Rogers will play Brazil's second-ranked Alison Cerutti and Emanuel Rego.
The winner will go on to play Brazil's 25th-seeded Evandro Goncalves and Harley Marques for a chance to play in the semifinals.
Fuerbringer (Costa Mesa, Calif.) and Lucena (Santa Barbara, Calif.), seeded fourth, lost their first match of the tournament in the third round on Friday to Spain's fifth-seeded Pablo Herrera Allepuz and Adrián Gavira Collado, 21-19, 22-20 in 43 minutes.
In their first consolation match, Fuerbringer and Lucena defeated their 10th-seeded compatriots Jake Gibb (Bountiful, Utah) and Sean Rosenthal (Redondo Beach, Calif.), 21-13, 19-21, 14-16 in 56 minutes.
Gibb and Rosenthal, who are battling Fuerbringer and Lucena for the second men's slot on the U.S. Olympic beach volleyball team, finished the tournament tied for ninth.
On Saturday, Fuerbringer and Lucena will face Brazil's 16th-seeded Moisés Santos and Vitor Felipe, the team that upset Dalhausser and Rogers on Thursday.
The winner of that match will move on to play Germany's seventh-seeded Jonathan Erdmann and Kay Matysik for a chance to go to the semifinals.

Nielsen Named Assistant Coach at Colorado
from press release
BOULDER, Colo. — Hannah Nielsen has been named the first assistant women's lacrosse coach in University of Colorado history, head coach Ann Elliott announced Thursday.
Nielsen, arguably one of the best players in the history of the sport, rejoins Elliott as the two were together for three of Nielsen's four seasons on the Northwestern University roster. The two were teammates for two years in 2006 and '07 when Elliott was an upperclassman and Nielsen an underclassmen. Elliott then returned to the program in 2009 as an assistant coach in Nielsen's senior season.
"I could not be more excited to have Hannah join our coaching staff at CU," Elliott said. "She will be a great asset to me and our players as we look to build the program from the ground up. As a player, she has achieved the highest level of success both in her career at Northwestern and on the Australian National Team. Her passion and vast knowledge of the game has led her to be a great coach at the collegiate level."
Nielsen joins Colorado from Towson University, where she helped lead the Tigers to a 27-11 record in two seasons with two Colonial Athletic Association regular season championships and the CAA Championship this past season. Towson was 11-7 in 2010 in her first season and improved this past season to 16-4, a program record for victories, and the conference championship.
Prior to Towson, she was an assistant coach in 2010 at Penn State University, helping the Nittany Lions to a 10-7 record.
She graduated from Northwestern in 2009 with a degree in Human Development and Psychological Services, when she capped off a brilliant four-year career, helping the Wildcats to four NCAA Championships and a combined 85-3 record, starting all 88 of those games. The Wildcats were 20-1 her freshman season, 21-1 both her sophomore and junior campaigns and 23-0 her senior season. She helped Northwestern to a perfect 19-0 record in American Lacrosse Conference action and an unblemished 16-0 record in NCAA Tournament games in her career.
"Hannah knows firsthand the hard work and dedication it takes to build a championship team," Elliott said. "I am looking forward to having Hannah here at CU as we start the process of building the program."
She is the NCAA's all-time assist leader, compiling 224 in her career, 46 more than any other player in the history of the game. She holds the top two spots for assists in a season in NCAA history, as she initially set the record with 69 assists in 2007 as a sophomore and topped the mark with 83 as a senior. She is the only player in NCAA history to hit double figures for assists in a game with 10, which she accomplished her senior season against Duquesne. She
She is one of two players in NCAA history both to compile more than 114 points in a season three times and she is just one of three players in NCAA history to average more than 3.0 assists per game in a season in multiple campaigns.
She won the Tewaaraton Trophy and the Honda Sports Award as the best player in the country both her junior and seniors seasons, and she was the Big Ten Athlete of the Year as a junior in 2008. She is one of just two players in the sport's history to win the Tewaaraton Trophy in back-to-back seasons and was just the second player to win the Honda Sports Award a second time.
She was additionally twice named the Player of the Year by the IWLCA, Inside Lacrosse, WomensLax.com and WomensLacrosse.com in those same seasons. She was a three-time first-team All-American, she was the ALC Player of the Year and first-team all-conference selection in 2008 and '09, when she was also the MVP of the ALC Championship game. She also got the job done off the field, being named Academic All-Big Ten twice in her career.
In 2009, she was the NCAA individual stat champion for points (142), points per game (6.17), assists (83) and assists per game (3.61). She was also the individual stat champion in 2007 with her 69 assists. On top of her NCAA career assist record, she ranks second in NCAA history for points (398) and assists per game (2.55) and her 199 draw controls ranks 15th in NCAA history. She earned Northwestern's Female Athlete of the Year honor and was the ALC Player of the Week five times and the Inside Lacrosse National Player of the Week one time.
A native of Adelaide, Australia, she was a member of the 2005 World Champion Australian National Team, which also won the silver medal at the FIL World Cup in 2009 when she was named to the All-World team. In 2005, she scored a key goal in Australia's defeat of the United States in the Gold Medal game, while the Aussies fell to the U.S. in the title game in 2009 when she was the team's second-leading scorer with 12 goals and 13 assists. She remains a key member of Australia's team headed into the 2013 FIL World Cup, which will take place in Oshawa, Canada, July 11-20, 2013.
She was a three-year member of the South Australian U-17 state team and member of the South Australian U-21 state team in 2005. She played on the South Australian senior state team from 2002-05 minus the 2003 season when she played for the U-19 Australian National Team.
Colorado officially added the sport of women's lacrosse in February and Elliott was hired in March. The team will officially begin play in the spring of 2014.

If anyone's interested, there are two future Buckeyes (and a couple other pretty good players too) playing in the McDonald's A-A Game tonight at 10 pm on ESPN.
Amir Williams (center) and PG Shannon Scott will be playing for the East (I assume)
After watching a bunch of video, I kind of like two of their other recruits better than these two McD A-A's. LaQuinton Ross and Sam Thompson...both 2-3 wing types really jumped out at me. Both could help as freshmen, IMO, getting some of the Diebler-Lighty minutes.

Women Mathematicians and NMAH CollectionsOlive C. Hazlett: Music and Puzzles
|Olive C. Hazlett. Photograph courtesy of LHM Institute. (AHB2012q06024)
Olive Clio Hazlett (1890-1974) was a leading American mathematician of the 1920s. She was the most prolific of the US-born women of her time who worked in pure mathematics and was recognized for her research accomplishments when, in 1927, she became the second US-born woman to be ranked as one of American's leading mathematicians by her peers, a distinction marked by a "star" in American Men of Science. In 1984, Hazlett was one of three mathematicians whose lives were celebrated in an exhibit NMAH.
Hazlett, who was awarded a PhD in mathematics from the University of Chicago in 1915, spent a postdoctoral year at Harvard University before she began her teaching career at Bryn Mawr. In 1918 she moved to Mount Holyoke and seven years later she moved to the University of Illinois.
As with most people, mathematicians have interests outside their profession. Among mathematicians, including Hazlett, these outside interests often relate to music and puzzles. Among objects in the collections that were displayed in 1984 are her tenor recorder, a set of dominoes with more spots than one sees on most domino sets, and twelve Japanese interlocking wooden puzzles called "Kumiki."
|"Commemorating American Mathematics," 1984 Exhibit at NMAH. (SI Neg #84-5347-2)
"Women Mathematicians and NMAH Collections - Olive C. Hazlett: Music and Puzzles" showing 1 items.
Wooden Puzzle Assortment
- Description
- These twelve interlocking three-dimensional wooden puzzles were made in Japan, likely by the Yamanaka Kumiki Works. Each is individually wrapped in plastic and includes a sheet showing how to assemble it. A trademark on the bottom of the box includes an image of a globe surrounded by the letters T T N Y. According a 1978 application to the US Patent and Trademark Office by the Traveler Trading Company, Inc., the mark was first used in commerce in 1950. Since imports from Japan between 1945 and 1952 had to be labeled "Made in occupied Japan" and the labels on the box, the puzzles, and the instructions, all read "Made in Japan," these puzzles were imported into the United States some time after 1952.
- These types of Japanese puzzles are called "kumiki" and are said to be related to the traditional construction of wooden buildings that did not use nails or glue. This particular set includes four familiar geometrical shapes (a sphere, a cube, a barrel, and an octagonal prism), four animals (an elephant, a pig, a bird, and a dog), and four shapes without common names. Only the dog and one of the unnamed shapes are unassembled.
- These kumiki puzzles belonged to Olive C. Hazlett (1890–1974), one of America's leading mathematicians during the 1920s. Hazlett taught at Bryn Mawr College, Mount Holyoke College, and the University of Illinois, after which she moved to Peterborough, New Hampshire. The puzzles were collected from the Carmelite community of Leadore, Idaho. Brothers from this community had lived in New Hampshire earlier, and befriended Hazlett there.

If the NBA is locked out, does the NHL stand to gain some new fans?
Or are they hopelessly locked up on Versus most of the time, waiting for it to become NBC Sports and bigger than ESPN. right...
Locally, does it help attendance in places like Phoenix? NY? LA? Dallas?
Will the Monsters see a gain?
Ratings-wise I don't think they will see much of a blip until late January or February. If the lockout lasts that long.
Attendance-wise, I think a lot of teams will see an increase, and hopefully that will be something that continues after the lockout. It might even bring some of the franchises back from the edge..

Also, remember not to mix the yeast with the salt, and/or sugar as they do not play well together.
Tom, what do you mean by this? I almost always start with the water, dissolve the salt (2.8%-3.0% of the flour weight) in the water, and then mix in my sourdough culture (typically 1.5%-2.0% of the flour weight). It seems to work just fine. I don't leave the culture alone in the saltwater for a long time, the flour follows right after.Also, what is the concern of mixing yeast with sugar?Craig

Selected Speeches
Speech Video
At the State Dinner for the President of the Republic of Austria Dr. Heinz Fischer and Mrs. Fischer during their State Visit to Jordan
Amman, Jordan
9 November 2008
President Fischer, Mrs. Fischer,
On behalf of the Jordanian people, may I warmly welcome you and your distinguished delegation tonight. Our country is honoured by your presence.
For Rania and me, your visit brings back wonderful memories of being in Vienna last April. It is our wish to give you a great experience of dynamic and historic Jordan.
Mr. President, the meetings we had today highlight the common challenges we face: The position of our countries in the global economy… the need to ensure the welfare of our citizens… and the absolute necessity of ending regional conflicts.
They also show that we have numerous opportunities to strengthen our cooperation … to better serve the interests of our people … to contribute to a dialogue of civilizations that can end cultural misconceptions … and to promote tolerance and acceptance of the Other.
Dear Friends,
We share important openings and opportunities - gateways to markets ... productive capacity ... aspiring populations ... and more. We have a tremendous shared interest in coordinating these economic strengths, to help both our countries move ahead.
This is vital as we think about the economic future we are shaping. Young Jordanians, young Austrians, want, and deserve, to share in the progress of humanity and the wealth of this earth. My friends, together, we can, and must, help make sure they succeed.
Over the next few days, I hope you will have a chance to see Jordan's progressive path: The people and institutions that are expanding our country's capabilities and creating new opportunity ... Development initiatives that focus on improving people's lives and building for the future ... And our national investment in Jordan's natural and historic treasures - from Amman to Aqaba to Petra and beyond.
Mr. President, as Jordan moves forward, we have deeply appreciated your country's friendship and support. We applaud Austria's positive role in a strong and productive Euro-Med Partnership. We warmly welcome both official and private-sector ties. I know members of the private sectors in both countries will meet during this visit. I hope their discussions will be fruitful in creating more cooperation. Here in Jordan, Austrians have brought expertise and vision to a new generation of business and development partnerships. I see great potential for even more interaction in the years ahead.
My friends,
Austria has a prominent role in the great neighbourhood that includes Europe and the Middle East. Austrians are respected throughout the region as honest brokers and friends of justice. You see - as we do - the vital importance of Europe's active engagement in Middle East peace. You have been our partner in the urgent work for a real end to conflict … for a solution that brings justice and statehood to the Palestinians, and guarantees security and acceptance for Israel.
Mr. President,
Together, we must stand firm for moderation and acceptance among peoples and religions. We must work for a future of peace and cooperation. To realize such a future, we must build partnerships … we must work together. And we will work together.
Mr. President,
It is a delight to welcome you to Jordan. I wish you the best of visits - and many returns. To all of you here, I wish you an exciting and productive week. Thank you.

Toronto Maple Leafs
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
"We added some new players.... the Leafs are gonna be really good next year!"
"Well we missed the playoffs again but we'll add some more new players in the summer... I think the Leafs are gonna be be really good NEXT year!"
"1967. Thats forty eight years you dumbfucks. We had fifteen since then! Suck it losers."
"...But none in the past twenty years."
edit History
The Toronto Maple Leafs are a "hockey" team in the National Hockey League. They play 82 regular season games a year, plus pre-season games, but never more than that. Most Leaf players refer to the hockey season as yearly winter training for their true passion: golf.
Also known as the "Toronto Make-Me-Laffs", "Toronto Make Beleafs", "Toronto Maple Fucks" and "Toronto Maple Queefs" have been known for their skilled antics, both on and off the course. Some of these activities include the breaststroke, hide 'n' go seek, tag, making "vroom" sounds while pretending to hold a steering wheel and calling the goalie "silly" after being scored on, Also being able to build loser teams consistently. Cheering for the team is regarded as witchcraft in some parts of Canada, and religious groups routinely warn of the dangers of Leafs' worship. The idea of a team was first thought of shortly after the team founder suffered a serious head injury while reciting the alphabet.
The Leafs are the richest and most popular franchise in the NHL. They charge an average of over $100 per ticket and sell out every game, even though the team has missed the playoffs seven years in a row and haven't made it to the Stanley Cup Finals in 43 years. They have the longest current streak of seasons without a playoff appearance. They also have the longest Stanley Cup drought. They have never won more than 2 playoff rounds in their entire existence. They typically entertain their fans with drawn-out pre-game ceremonies lauding the accomplishments of past Leafs greats such as Allan Bester and Russ Courtnall. Their fans refer to themselves as "Leafs Nation", however fans of other teams typically refer to them as "morons" or "fucking retards".
The Toronto Maple Leafs were purchased by Billy Mays in 1924. He aqcuired the team for only $19.95 plus shipping and handling. Mays also threw in backup goalie Olaf Kolzig ABSOLUTELY free!!! However, Mays soon died of a heart attack caused by low blood pressure, due to his constant masturbation to his own commercials, namely for KABOOM! and OXICLEAN! Mays came back to life in 1975, but was not allowed at any event that has anything to do with the Maple Leafs. They really screwed him over.
Sunny is known as the first Polish hockey player to ever play for the Leafs. He had a remarkable debut, scoring a hat-trick and getting three assists, but his success was short lived after he was raped the next day by a small black man named Ryan Thirumaran. To this day, no one has yet found Ryan, as he is difficult to spot due to the fact that he only goes out at night.
The Leafs are owned by a stupid fat bastard. This same fat bastard also owns the Weather Network and the colour orange.
Nowadays with Toronto all you can do is sit back, relax and laugh your fucking ass off. All they can hope for is Chuck Norris to play on their team or Armageddon to come and end their laughing stock of a so called "team".
The Leafs have a tradition of recruiting goons with no particular talent, such as Wade Belak, Hal Gil, Darcy Tucker, and Bryan McCabe. However, under the new management of Brian Burke, the team has turned to skill as a way to win. Signing all-stars such as Jean-Sebastien Giguere, Colby Armstrong, Dion Phaneuf, Kris Versteeg, Brett Lebda, Nazem Kadri and Fredrik Sjostrom have put The Leafs on the brink of Cup contention.
edit Highlights
edit The Owners/Management
Over the years, the current owners of the Leafs have encourage signing a lot of free agents. They even tried to sign Jesus, but he didn't want play for the evil teachers pension fund. This evil current owner of the Leafs lure the children with their teachers and eats them.
As you already read, the Leafs are majority owned by the evil Toronto's Teachers Pension Fund, also known as the TPF. To be more efficient, the TPF only hires the most qualified people for the job. Here is their actual lineup:
CF- Cliff Fetcher. Loves to disgustingly overpay mediocre players and give every player No Trade Clauses.
PM- Paul Maurice. Used to draw up the plans, but was fired by the Evil Pensioner's Fund because his plans sucked. His main plan consisted of:
Play Sundin a lot. Let him be badass and kill the other team.
Give Sundin a rest. Guys like Matt Stajan and Thomas Kaberle give him a bit of a rest, only allowing Toskala to see about 30 shots, with 10% of them being saved.
Claim that they've got this in the bag, even if the score is 16-0 the other way. The fans also agree with this viewpoint: these are the guys who post on forums that the Leafs will win the northeast, and then the Stanley Cup. This season.
Keep Bryan McCabe on the ice as much as possible. This assures victory most of the time. We guess.
Same as third period. Especially during Sabres games.
Rely on Sundin and mediocrity.
Gloat victory, regardless of final score. Blame any mistakes on non existent player injuries.
Ron Wilson - New Poon Trainer. Likes to yell in traffic jams to get his voice into shape. Acting as a door boy when his buddy Brian Burke decides to leave a successful team to ruin his GM career/end his life/manage the Leafs. Known for embarassing 18 year old rookies publicly and talking about his regular season success in San Jose. Consistently abandons his players and takes credit when the team happens to win 1 out of every 12 games.
Mats Sundin- Former captain of the Leafs. Favorite moves include bashing the back of the puck holder's head. He is bald because that's how the he likes it. Some say he left the Leafs because they are awful. Those people would be right.
Jason Blake- Newest recruit, not fully transformed. He doesn't have that much power as Sundin, but makes up for it with speed.
Nik Antropov- Has improved a lot this year, too bad he still sucks. Huge, can destroy more than one helicopter at a time. Has now moved on to the New York Rangers.
Carlos Amigos (ironically not Spanish) Colaiacovo- Generally gets injured for prolonged periods before, after and during poon stomping.
edit The McCabe Code
If you can't beat them...join them. He showed this during an overtime game against the Sabres where he scored them the overtime winner with 4 seconds left in the game in his own net. Constant cough ups selfish play and his ability to take bad penalties at the worst times in a game will solidify his place as a Leaf legend.
edit Rivalries
The Maple Leafs' worst rival is the Montreal Canadiens, given the long history of Original Six match-ups between the two clubs. The fact that Toronto is a bigger and more important city than Montreal also gives the rivalry a provincial flair, which is perhaps best captured in the popular Canadian short story, "The Habs Thrive". The Leafs also share a rivalry with the Ottawa Senators. The Ottawa Senators are a newer team but that doesn't stop them from continuously losing to the Leafs in the playoffs. Since the lockout these rivalries has come to a standstill, especially since the Leafs have waited more than 30 years to avenge the Habs in the playoffs. And their only rival in the United States is the Detroit Red Wings, against which the Leafs manage to win year after year, despite the wide disparity between the two teams' skill levels.
But their biggest rival of all is themselves. Every year the Leafs hold a Blue vs White game. The losing team is sacrificed on Breakfast Television, the biggest human sacrifice themed television program on Canadian television.
edit Following
Unfortunately, thanks to fascist press media, the Maple Leafs are very popular across Canada. A large percentage of Leafs fans suffer from battered-wife syndrome and are known to actually enjoy the decades of constant disappointment.
Conversely, there is an equally passionate dislike of the team by fans of other teams, and not just the Canadiens fans (Senators fans too, and also fans from the Oilers and Canucks, Cheesepuffs and Booins fans to a lesser extent). In November 2002, the Leafs were named by Sports Illustrated as the "Most Hated Team in Hockey". This is also coupled with the fact that networks like TSN and CBC cater to the Leafs which draws the ire of the rest of Canada, particularly prairie folk. Giving the people of Canada a steady diet of bottom 5 hockey all season long increasing the hatred for this organization further, except for a stretch spanning the final third of the 2010-2011 season, as well as the first quarter of the 2011-2012 season and the 2012-2013 season, where they actually played half-decently, also drawing the ire of more hockey fans.
Family Court routinely awards the team custody of abused children, as the Ontario judicial system has concluded that the Maple Leafs are incapable of beating anyone.
edit 2013 Season
After eight years missing the playoffs, a strike-shortened 2012-13 season finally gave the Leafs a chance to sneak into the post-season. This occurred when the other 29 teams decided by secret vote to throw a lot of games. The two Leaf home playoff dates would then generate over $98 million in revenue, mainly due to ridiculously high ticket prices, with half going to the league.
The Leafs overcame a 3-game-to-1 lead by the Boston Bruins, convincing hockey fans that a new era of championship hockey had begun. The Fans were again convinced of this, after the Leafs blew that advantage and had to close out the season in Boston, when the team led the Bruins, 4-1 with 11 minutes left in the deciding game. The Fans were wrong again, and the John Labatt Breweries, Ltd., were unfortunately accused of producing a bad batch of Blue that produced the spontaneous bout of street vomiting near the big-screen televisions in front of the arena.
A key to the squander was a goaltending style that deliberately created rebounds rather than covering up the puck. Club spokesmen said that the advantage of loose pucks right in front of the Leafs' goal was that the team did better than it would have done trying to win face-offs.
The social consequences of this episode were to delay the Maple Leafs' annual April golf tournament by two weeks, into May. Dion Phaneuf is favored to win again--but not a hockey game.
edit Asset management
Asset management has always haunted the Leafs, but it became more pronounced in the 1990s up to 2011. They traded away valuable pieces in the making just to get some help in the present, squandering their future as they passed up Roberto Luongo, Scott Niedermeyer and Tyler Seguin for Wendel Clark, Tom Kurvers and Phil Kessel respectively. They continued to suck because of their awful asset management; in an attempt to repair the damage Kessel has done to the Make-Me-Laffs, they traded away their best golfer (and arguably the best golfer in the NHL, now an Habs player), Tomas Kaberle, for Boston's first-round draft pick and Joe "Bourne Supremacy" Colborne, a big centre prospect hailed as the savior of the franchise, the one that will restore the Bourne Supremacy (er, playoff runs) back for the Leafs.
However, most hockey and golf experts outside Toronto agree that Colborne will be nothing more than a second-rate golfer that happen to play centre. For this reason, the Leafs are expected to suck both on the ice and on the golf course for the foreseeable future.
edit Trivia
- When the Leafs last won the Stanley Cup, Jimi Hendrix had just finished recording his debut album. The Doors had just released their debut album. The Beatles were readying Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band for release. NASA had yet to send a man to the moon. There isn't a colour picture of the Make-Beleafs with the Stanley Cup. Needless to say, it was a long, long fucking time ago.
- Canadian law states that should the Leafs win at least one preseason game, the city of Toronto must immediately plan the Leafs' Stanley Cup Parade route.
edit Individual Awards
No Maple Leaf has won a Conn Smythe Trophy as "Playoff MVP" since 1967.
No Maple Leaf has won the Hart Trophy as "Regular Season MVP" since 1955.
No Maple Leaf has won the Calder Trophy as "Rookie of the Year" since 1966.

No Maple Leaf has ever won the Norris Trophy as the "Best Defensive Player" since the Awards inception in 1954.
The only major award that has been won by a Leaf player for on-ice performance in the last twenty years was Alex Mogilny's winning of the Lady Byng Trophy in 2002-2003, which is awarded to the friendliest player in the league.
