Yves Marchand and Romain Meffre: The Ruins of Detroit
Artists have long been fascinated by ruins and what they tell us about generations past but Yves Marchand and Romain Meffre explored the debris of a much more recent urban collapse in Detroit. Their jaw-dropping photographs of the Motor City wreckage are fascinating pieces in their own right, but they are also important records, a peek under our shiny facade where the social fabric has been ripped up, telling us things about our triumphs and our disasters. With a new show just opened at The Wilmotte Gallery, we spoke to Romain and Yves…
How would you describe to Detroit for someone who has never been there?
Detroit is a typical American city, vibrant and full of contrast. It would be difficult to find a city whose transformation is so strongly linked to the forces of recent history. In some areas the fabric of the city has disintegrated so dramatically that you don't feel that you are in an urban environment anymore. This gives Detroit a very particular flavour.
How did you find the places to photograph? Was it dangerous getting into some of them?
In some cases by looking online and scouring maps. We would make a list and then go explore. Ruins have a certain mystic about them which results in people projecting their fears onto them. We never had any trouble although it is always worth keeping your wits about you!
What do you think the pictures tell us about America?
These photographs tell a story which goes further than America. The car had a great impact changing our landscape forever. However, it is just another chapter in our history.
In Asia today factories are being built and new empires created but as the ancient proverb warns, 'this too will pass' – everything is essentially temporary. America is going through a transition, which Europe experienced before. What is particular to this situation is that commercialism was essentially invented and exported to the rest of the world from Detroit.
Walking around Detroit it seems strange that unlike in Europe, Detroit's ruins are left to rot instead of being cleared away. The effect of this, paradoxically, is to remind us of how grand the city was in its prime.
How do you feel about writers like Jeffrey Eugenides who have cautioned against romanticising the ruins of his hometown?
Of course we need to be respectful. Generally, it depends on which ruins you are looking at. For example, Michigan Central Station or some of the old theatres evoke ancient temples disconnected from our own times, whereas others such as recently-closed schools and libraries are more complicated as they point to social disintegration and the failing of our modern way of life.
We think the ruins deserve to be looked at directly before they disappear so they act as a record and tell a story even if there is no fairy-tale ending.
The show runs until 5 April.

Luigi Illica
Luigi Illica (9 May 1857 – 16 December 1919) was an Italian librettist who wrote for Giacomo Puccini (usually with Giuseppe Giacosa), Pietro Mascagni, Alfredo Catalani, Umberto Giordano, Baron Alberto Franchetti and other important Italian composers. His most famous opera libretti are those for La Bohème, Tosca, Madama Butterfly and Andrea Chénier.
Illica was born at Castell'Arquato. His personal life sometimes imitated his libretti. The reason he is always photographed with his head slightly turned is because he lost his right ear in a duel over a woman. When silent films based on Illica's operas were made, his name appeared in large letters on advertisements because distributors could only guarantee that his stories would be used, and not that they would be accompanied by the music of the appropriate composer.
As a playwright of considerable quality, he is today remembered through one of Italy's oldest awards, the Luigi Illica International Prize founded in 1961, which goes to world famous opera singers, opera conductors, directors and authors. The Award is now awarded every two years and alternates with the Illica Opera Stage International Competition, which offers prizes and debut opportunities to young singers.
The dates given are those of publication.

POWAY — A juvenile court hearing involving a teenager who was present when Poway's Luke Lipscomb was fatally shot last November was closed to the public Thursday morning.
Judge Carlyn Caietti denied requests from the media to attend the hearing saying the charge or charges the boy is facing do not rise to the level where a juvenile court proceeding would be presumed open.
After the hearing Deputy District Attorney Robert Eacret would say only that another hearing has been scheduled for Nov. 16. He said the law prohibits him from commenting further.
Anthony Lipscomb, Luke Lipscomb's father, said last week he has been told by prosecutors that the boy is facing drug charges.
Lipscomb, 17, was shot between the eyes inside a home on Midland Road north of Twin Peaks Road while apparently smoking marijuana laced with a designer drug with two friends, according to court documents. He died two weeks later in a hospital.
It is suspected Lipscomb shot himself with a 22.-caliber rifle while hallucinating. However the autopsy report lists the manner of death as "undetermined."
Before deputies arrived at the house the boy who appeared in court Thursday left and went to his northern Poway home. When detectives went to interview him they were met by the family's attorney.
The parents of the boy declined to comment Thursday.
Earlier this week Kevin Brennick, 49, the owner of the gun used to shoot Lipscomb, was arraigned on a rarely used charge of keeping an unsecured loaded firearm in a house where children are present and then the child kills or seriously injures himself or someone else.
Brennick was not home at the time when his son, the other boy and Lipscomb were partying the afternoon of Nov. 4, 2011.

Oklahoma's own guide to great gardening and landscaping. A State-by-State Gardening Publication
Where Are They Now?
by Steve Frank
People don't often think about insects in winter. Frankly, most people don't think about insects at all except when they are being tormented by mosquitoes in the summer. As gardeners, we tend to consider insects and the natural world more frequently than other people, but what happens to the pests that drive us crazy and the other bugs that fascinate us during warmer months? >> read article
Winter Planning for the Spring Garden
by Ruth Mason McElvain
Whether you are a veteran victory gardener or an eager beginner with a few pots, experts agree that a little advance scheming makes for a better garden, saving time, money and wear and tear on your own momentum.

Best of all, because they store so well, you can usually purchase all types through the winter months. >> read article

A Wonderland of Color
Add some color to that bland winter landscape
by Stephanie Knipper
Adding color to your garden in winter can be a challenge. For many gardeners, barren beds are something we learn to live with until spring. After all, our winters can be harsh with temperatures frequently dipping below freezing. Most flowering plants do not survive in these conditions. However, there are some that flourish, and even thrive, in cooler temperatures. Brightening a winter garden doesn't have to be difficult, you just need to pick the right plants for your conditions. >> read article

Winter Garden Crash Course
by Bob Westerfield
By now, many gardeners have planted their winter gardens and are already harvesting tender broccoli, fresh cabbage and lettuces. If you live in the warmer areas of the Southern states, there's still time to get seeded crops into the ground. Parts of Louisiana, Florida, southern Texas and southern Georgia can still grow from seed. Areas farther north can still plant gardens using transplants ... >> read article
Gear Up for Cold Weather Gardening
by Melissa Burdick
It's hard to keep an avid gardener cooped up inside all winter. The gardener starts to go stir crazy and, in turn, drives all those around her – those who are perfectly content to remain cozied up on the couch, mind you – just as crazy. But on the coldest winter days it can be just as difficult for the gardener to put on enough layers to keep out the chill without morphing into an awkward creature that ambles through the garden like the unfortunate love child of Sasquatch and a penguin. >> read article

" 121 Rue colbert, 37000 Tours.Tel: 02 47 66 67 70 "
It was our last night in Tours and we wanted to find somewhere really nice to eat that wouldn't break the bank. We walked through the old town but there were lots of places closed (it was Monday and the Continent does seem to come to a halt more on a Monday) and the rest didn't appeal. The owner of our hotel said that for good food all the locals went to Rue Colbert so we headed there to see if there was anything better.
The restaurant is located at 121 Rue Colbert. It is towards the cathedral end of the road, away from the old town. We walked to the restaurant from our hotel which was on Avenue de Grammont and this took around 15 minutes. There are plenty of car parks around the area which are within a couple of minutes walk and they're free to park in after about 6pm.
We made our way up Rue Colbert looking for somewhere to eat. We had a look at L'Etable ad thought it looked pretty nice but there were only 2 people eating there and we're always slightly put off by empty restaurants. However, having walked up the rest of the street we returned to L'Etable and decided that it looked good enough to chance it.
We sat outside, which I love doing - think it really adds to that French feel. The waiter clearly noticed our poor French and brought us some English menus which is always a slight relief - our French is limited and the French do seem to have a habit of putting ingredients in their dishes that wouldn't necessarily appeal to me. The menu was one where you could choose two or three courses for a set price. There were two set menus, one cheaper than the other. We went for the cheaper one but it was still excellent.
We started by ordering our drinks; some water, a glass of white for Mr Tart and beer for me (yes, we're a strange couple!). Make sure you ask for a carafe of water if you want it for free, as if you say bottle they'll probably bring an expensive one. Our drinks came - they brought two glasses of wine by mistake - clearly our Allo Allo French was failing again! They took it back with no fuss though.
Next came the starters. I'd ordered the goat's cheese salad. When it came there were some strange looking additions on the salad.....yes, they'd added goat! I was horrified, I'd never eaten goat and I wasn't particularly looking to try it. However, Mr Tart, good influence on me that he is, said I had to at least try it. I'm glad I did, it was absolutely delicious! To go with the goat, there was actually goat's cheese which was hot and wrapped in pastry, on a bed of lettuce and tomato. The whole starter was wonderful, goat is actually quite a tasty meat, but be warned if you're a veggie - there was no warning on the menu of its presence at all! Mr Tart had the daily special for his starter which was a big, single ravioli filled and baked. He said this was absolutely excellent as well.
Then onto the main courses. I'd ordered the steak, which I tend to order a lot when I'm on holiday as I rarely have it at home. It came on a huge wooden platter. There was a plate with the steak in the middle, and three little pots around the side. One had veg in it, a mixture of green beans and peas, another had a cheese sauce and the third had potatoes cooked in cream and garlic. It was by far one of the best meals I'd had in a while. The steak was beautiful and very tasty. The veg was perfectly cooked, so that the beans were still slightly crunchy, the cheese sauce was not too cheesy but really went well with the other flavours and the potatoes were delicious. The only slight issue was that when they asked me how I wanted the steak to be cooked, I said medium rare, but it obviously got lost in translation as it came out almost blue. I wouldn't normally have eaten it but to be honest it was such a good steak that it didn't matter too much and I still enjoyed it. Just be aware that you may need to take a phrase book with you! Mr Tart again had the daily special. He knew that it was going to be some sort of fish but again the French wasn't flowing so it was a surprise when it came. It turned out to be salmon in pastry, with a really yummy sauce with prawns in. I didn't taste as I'm not a big fish person but he was really impressed with it.
I was completely full up after my starter and main but Mr Tart's had been a bit lighter so he had room for a dessert. He went for the bavarois, which is a cream and custard pudding. Yet again he was hugely impressed.
The service throughout the night was absolutely excellent. They were very attentive and didn't mind our bumbling French! I also thought that the prices were extremely good. My meal was Euro16 for two courses and Mr Tart's was Euro19 for three courses. The standard of the food was outstanding for a meal of that price. The menu had something for everyone, as long as you're not a vegetarian! There was fish, chicken and various meats.
This restaurant really is excellent. I would highly recommend a visit there if you're ever in Tours. The food was some of the best I've had in a long time and Mr Tart was hugely impressed too. The prices were extremely reasonable and the service was great. The only thing to be aware of is the need to have a phrasebook and the fact that meat may appear on your plate!
By the way - apparently Etable is the French for cowshed or barn (please correct me if I'm wrong) hence the title!

NOPD detectives today re-arrested the man they believe shot a woman multiple times last week in a grassy lot in the Lower Ninth Ward, and left her to die.
Homicide Detective Michael McCleery booked 29-year-old Briceson Carter this morning with Second Degree Murder for gunning down 38-year-old Brandy Keenan in a vacant lot in the 2600-block of Choctaw Street. Carter was already in Orleans Parish Prison on unrelated charges. Keenan's partially decomposed body was discovered the morning of Thursday, October 17, after neighbors called police to report they had spotted something suspicious.
After conducting numerous interviews, studying surveillance video from the area, and receiving additional information from some who knew the victim, Detective McCleery- who was greatly assisted by Detective Robert Bachelder- were able to obtain an arrest warrant for Carter.
"After looking over this suspect's extensive rap sheet, it's clear that Detectives McCleery and Bachelder have managed to get possibly one of the city's most violent offenders off our streets," said Superintendent Ronal Serpas.
"One victim of crime is one too many. This suspect obviously made a practice of victimizing people. I commend the NOPD team- from the crime lab techs to the homicide division- for their dedication to making this case and arresting this career criminal."
Briceson Carter is considered a possible career criminal with 17 felony arrests, 14 misdemeanor arrests, and 1 traffic arrest. He is currently on probation for Possession of Cocaine until August 2015 and was placed on probation for First Degree Robbery in April 2002 through April 2003. Carter has previous arrests for Second Degree Murder, Aggravated Assault-Discharge of a Firearm, Aggravated Battery (2 times), Aggravated Burglary, Aggravated Kidnapping, Armed Robbery-Use of Firearm, Armed Robbery, Resisting an Officer, Simple Escape (2 counts), Illegal Possession of a Firearm, Simple Arson, Possession of Crack, Distribution of Crack, Resisting/Obstructing an Officer, Probation Violation, Obstructing a Public Place, Criminal Trespassing, Disturbing the Peace, Gambling, Simple Criminal Damage under $500, Misrepresentation of Name/Age/Address, Public Intoxication, traffic violations, attachments, and a warrant.

Olympic gold medalist Gabby Douglas made a stop at the XL Center on Friday to promote the P&G Gymnastics Championships that will be held there in August.
She helped the city turn Trumbull Street near the XL Center to "Tumble Street" at a kick-off event.
Douglas talked about her experiences as an Olympic gymnast and spoke to a youth gymnastics team. She urged the young gymnasts to work hard, listen to their coaches, and most importantly, have fun.
A member of the "Fierce Five," Douglas competed in the London Olympics in 2012, and helped the team win gold in the all-around team competition. She went on to claim another gold medal in the individual all-around competition.
Douglas will be making another appearance in Hartford in August at the P&G Gymnastics Championships. The competition determines U.S. champions and the U.S. national team for the junior and senior elite levels.
Douglas won't be competing, but she will be inducted into the U.S. Gymnastics Hall of Fame during the event.
The P&G Gymnastics Championships will be held Aug. 15-18.

The hockey world was in a state of shock following the death of centre Sergei Zholtok last night.
The 31-year-old, who completed last season with the Nashville Predators, died yesterday after collapsing in the dressing room while suiting up for Riga, Latvia -- his home town -- during a game in Minsk.
"I'm very surprised and sad right now," said Islanders centre Alexei Yashin, who played with Zholtok from 1996-98 with the Senators. "This isn't something you expect. We were close friends and this is hard.
"We used to work out together in the summer from time to time and we also kept in touch quite a bit. We played together on the national junior team in 1991 in Russia and he was a guy I really respected.
"I'm going to miss him."
Mark Gandler, Zholtok's New Jersey-based agent, said he got the news of his client's death in a 5 p.m. call from Minnesota teammate Darby Hendrickson, who is playing in Riga while waiting for the NHL season to start.
According to Gandler, Zholtok -- who had reportedly been diagnosed with cardiac arrhythmia -- went to the dressing room during one of the periods because he was feeling sick. He collapsed on the floor and attempts by the training staff to revive him were unsuccessful.
"The details are sketchy right now," said Gandler. "I spoke with his wife, Anna, and obviously, it was a very difficult conversation. All I can say is I'm in shock. This guy was just a wonderful person. There's not much to say.
"This guy was just a guy who had to work for everything he got. He was such a special person because he had such a great character. He was a leader, but he did it quietly. He wouldn't yell in the dressing room. He'd just go out and get the job done."
A father of two sons -- Edgar and Nikita -- Zholtok hadn't resigned with the Predators after being dealt to Nashville at last year's NHL trade deadline. But Gandler said he was expected to return because GM David Poile was a fan.
"We are all saddened and shocked to hear of Sergei's sudden passing," Poile said in a statement released by the club. "He was a hard-working player who was well-liked by his teammates and coaches."
During his two seasons with the Senators, Zholtok made an impression. He wasn't a 50-goal scorer, but had success on the fourth line and earned respect from his teammates because of his work ethic.
"He was the Russian version of Shaun Van Allen," said former Ottawa assistant Perry Pearn from Hartford, where he's with the Rangers' AHL affiliate. "Sergei Zholtok was a guy who got everything out of everything he had. He got the job done. He was a real positive influence for us and I would say he was key when we beat the New Jersey Devils (in the 1998 playoffs). This is sad and this is shocking. I really feel terribly for his young family. This must be devastating for them."
Zholtok had rejuvenated his NHL career after being picked up by Minnesota in 2002.
"He was just a quality person," said Senators president Roy Mlakar. "This is terrible news. He was a guy who always came to us and wanted to know if there was anything he could do in the community. Sergei Zholtok cared and he always wanted to contribute."

Marshall Major Headphones Review
Main Features and specifications:
- Folding on-the-ear headphones
- Coiled cord with 3.5mm connection and 6.3mm adapter (1/8th and 1/4th)
- 40mm drivers
- 20 ~ 20kHz frequency response
- 32 ohm impedance +- 15% at 1kHz
- 1-year factory warranty
What We Liked:
- Build Quality: When you first pick up the Marshall Major headphones you can instantly sense they are built with quality in mind. From the textured detail on the sides to the construction of the cable, they don't feel the least bit cheap. A good deal of attention was paid to the Marshall logos, complete with a signature on the underside of the headband by none other than Dr. Jim Marshall.
- Versatile: The low impedance makes the Majors easy to drive. Whether you are using an iPhone, laptop, or home receiver, the sound quality is consistent. I noticed no significant difference in sound quality when moving from an iPhone to a home theater receiver. Yes, the sound quality was better when plugged into the receiver, but the difference was negligible.
- Passive Noise Canceling: By their design, the Majors press snugly against your ears. The plush leatherette material that lines the ear cups does a great job at blocking out ambient noise. Sitting in a noisy car dealership I turned up the volume on my iPhone to about halfway and my outside surroundings all but disappeared.
What We Didn't Like
- Not Good For Extended Use: After an hour or so, the headphones started to feel uncomfortable. The leatherette ear cushions are very soft, but made my ears hot. The band was also a bit tight on my head. The tight band is something that could easily be remedied by stretching them out for a night or two, but as far as ears getting overheated, not much can be done about that. Of course, your mileage may vary.
- Sound Quality: Marshall claims the Majors are not designed for any specific genre of music, but in testing I found they sounded best with rock, alternative, and some pop music. They have a tight bass response and warmth that works well with guitar and electric bass. Mids are well represented across the board, but the high end is a bit lacking. It's not to say the Majors don't sound good - they do, but do they sound $100 good? In a world where tried and true Koss PortaPro's can be had for less than $40 and the Sennheiser HD-280's for less than $90, it becomes questionable as to why these cans cost so much.
Our Verdict:
Marshall's largest headphone offering represents a well-constructed, compact set of on-the-ear cans. The attention to detail in the packaging, branding, and materials will not go unnoticed. Rock and alternative sounded best, but they work equally well for most genres. Overall, we think most users will find the Marshall Major headphones to be a comfortable, good sounding set of headphones. However, if value is what your after, you may want to look elsewhere.
Our Score: 4 out of 5

#AwardWapsi will not help, only insult govt: Kamal Haasan
Kamal Haasan said giving back the awards is not a solution to the problem as there are other ways to draw attention. he said he will not return his awards.regional movies Updated: Nov 04, 2015 10:53 IST
Disapproving those returning their awards to protest against growing intolerance, superstar Kamal Haasan on Tuesday said giving back the awards is not a solution to the problem as there are other ways to draw attention.
A number of intellectuals including filmmakers, scientists, writers and historians have returned their awards to protest against the 'climate of intolerance' in the country. Filmmakers who have returned their awards include names like director Dibakar Banerjee, documentary filmmakers Anand Pathwardhan and Nishtha Jain among others.
"Nothing will happen by returning the awards. You will insult the government or the people who gave you the award with love. That will bring attention to it but there are many more ways," said the 60-year-old actor.
"They are talented people. Just one article by them will bring more attention than returning the awards. They should keep the awards, make us proud and continue to fight any government that is not tolerant enough," he added.
When asked whether Haasan, who is in the city to promote his upcoming film Thoongavanam, would ask the filmmakers to not give back the awards, the actor said he was not sure it will make any difference.
"Mere bolne se thodi vo sunenge (My appeal won't make a difference). We hope they don't get too angry. It is on their part also necessary to be a little more tolerant. Tolerance is give and take. I am not criticising any party but this is nothing new to India. It will surmount this also, as it has done before," he said.

Striving to improve competitiveness, Buffalo Niagara Partnership sets agenda for 2014
The wish list for 2014 from the Buffalo Niagara region's business and political leadership puts a heavy emphasis on big-ticket projects to promote trade and dovetails with the state's efforts to make the region's workers and manufacturers more competitive.
Along with perennial projects, such as Peace Bridge plaza improvements and the extension of the Route 219 expressway, local business and political leaders also are throwing their support behind key parts of the economic-development initiatives from the Western New York Regional Economic Development Council and Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo's Buffalo Billion investment plan.
"Our region is changing, and we have more collaboration," said Dottie Gallagher-Cohen, president of the Buffalo Niagara Partnership, which has coordinated development of a regional agenda for the last 13 years.
With the regional council and the Buffalo Billion initiative taking center stage in the region's economic-development efforts, the 2014 agenda aims to piggyback on those efforts, with four of the seven high-priority initiatives included in both development plans.
"It is really important that we align with these efforts and speak with one voice," Gallagher-Cohen said.
The Partnership's 2014 Regional Agenda, released Monday, puts a heavy focus on transportation projects, brownfield cleanup efforts and initiatives to encourage local entrepreneurs to start businesses here.
In the first regional agenda since Cuomo announced his Buffalo Billion plan, the local leaders included several of those initiatives – including the creation of a Regional Workforce Advancement Center and an Institute for Advanced Manufacturing Competitiveness – among their seven highest economic-development priorities.
The agenda also backs the Buffalo Billion initiative for a $5 million business plan competition aimed at helping the region attract entrepreneurs by providing early funding for the most promising startups identified through the contest.
In addition, the agenda places a high priority on supporting an extension of a program to support private-sector cleanup projects at brownfields through tax credits, which local officials said are essential incentives that developers need for projects that would turn contaminated property into sites for redevelopment.
"It will continue to be one of the biggest drivers in our region … where smart growth is very important," Gallagher-Cohen said.
Among trade and transportation projects that appear high on the agenda's lengthy list of projects are initiatives to speed up the completion of plaza improvements at the Peace Bridge and funding for renovations of the U.S. plaza at the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge.
The agenda also supports improvements to the cargo pre-inspection program at the Peace Bridge and seeks "adequate staffing to make the program permanent" from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
The agenda's other priority projects would urge the state Department of Environmental Conservation to approve rules that would allow new liquefied natural gas fueling stations to be built in New York. The state currently bans the construction of new LNG fueling stations, which supporters say would encourage trucks to switch to natural gas-powered engines that burn cheaper fuel that pollutes less than diesel engines. Opponents say the stations would merely encourage a switch from one fossil fuel to another, while also raising concerns about the safety of storing supercooled natural gas.
The final high-priority project is to rally support for the Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station before an expected new round of base-closure recommendations in 2015 or 2017 that could jeopardize the 914th and 107th Airlift Wings now stationed there.
The agenda also includes many projects that have appeared on the list in previous years, including state funding to revive the long-stalled Niagara Experience Center proposal, which would create a new visitor center and museum in Niagara Falls, and federal and state funding to build a breakwater in Olcott Harbor.
Among transportation projects, the agenda seeks federal and state funds to continue the project to return motor vehicle traffic to Main Street downtown, between Mohawk and Court streets, and continues to back the extension of the Route 219 expressway as part of a new north-south Continental One highway.
A regional agenda, developed with Erie and Niagara counties and the cities of Buffalo and Niagara Falls, has been prepared for the last 13 years to coordinate influence of political and business interests.
"This is really the beginning," Gallagher-Cohen said. "We lay out this agenda and say, 'This is what we're all working for.' "

Back in early June, Laura was part of a group of fansite operators who were invited to Los Angeles to see a clip from Breaking Dawn, to interview director Bill Condon, and to attend the MTV Movie Awards. The first part of the interview will go live at 6:00pm eastern tonight, and the second part will go live at noon tomorrow. In the meantime, here's what the very, very surreal experience was like.
Ever since getting involved with Twilight, I've been saying that my benchmark for surreal keeps getting reset. Just when I think "it's never getting more out of this world than this" something else comes along. So when I got a call that I was being invited to the MTV Movie Awards and to visit to the editing room and to be able to speak with Bill Condon…yeah, it was another of those moments. If in 2006 when we opened the site someone had told me that I'd be meeting one of giants of the film industry and a personal favorite of mine(Kinsey, Gods and Monsters, the Academy Awards ceremony, master of two film musicals…need I go on),I would have thrown them in the car and taken them to the emergency room for detox.
So after arriving in Los Angeles the group headed out for a dinner. My roomie for the weekend was our red carpet broadcasting buddy, the very cool Kallie from Twilight Series Theories (if you haven't checked out their podcasts you should!) Kallie and I were joined by Kara of Twilight Moms, Lauren of Facebook, Andrew of TwiSource, Kara of Twilighters Anonymous and Amanda of Twilight Examiner. The really nice thing is that we all get along. Lots of other site operators in other fandoms would rather poison each others food than eat together, but we always hang with each other. Seriously, if there is a Twilight event we are doing drinks and dinner. (L-R in the above photo: Andrew: TwiSource, Kara: Twilight Moms, Me, Amanda:Twilight Examiner, Kallie: Twilight Series Theories, UK rep, Kara:Twilighters Anonymous, Summit rep, French blogger, Lauren:Twilight facebook, Brazil Blogger (in front)
So off to a group dinner hosted by Summit we went to hear about the schedule for the following day. We got there early and quickly realized that there were too many chairs for the number of people supposedly in attendance. In addition to our Summit contacts there were three surprise guests: Charlie Bewley(Demetri), Erik Odom (Peter), and Jack Morrissey (Bill Condon's partner). Now the hilarious thing was that when they arrived Charlie sees me (we've gotten to know each other pretty well via the Twilight Convention Tour) and he looks puzzled and mouths "What are you doing here?" I mouthed back "Twilight Lexicon, duh" then he does a head smack. After seeing me on tour so often he forgot for a second that I do other things. Dinner was fabulous, and Jack, Charlie, and Erik (who is possibly the nicest person on the planet and seriously adorable with the Southern charm) were just as entertaining in person as they are on Twitter.
The next day we were joined by bloggers from France,the UK, and Brasil for our viewing and interview. We all got into this van that took us to the editing location. I joked around with Kallie and Kara from TwiMoms "if I start to drool on Bill Condon stop me". I don't really do the whole screaming thing. I'm more of an inner squee kind of person who can get completely toungue-tied, but fortunately that doesn't happen too often. So far the only time its happened in relationship to Twilight is when I met Michael Sheen (who probably thinks I'm a complete idiot, but that's another story). For obvious reasons, I didn't want a repeat of the babbling Sheen incident.
Finally we arrived at the editing site. Let me tell you security is way tight: guards, cameras, passwords. It was like any second Matt Damon was going to pop up as Jason Bourne. We all crowed into this tiny room (my living room is bigger) and on a large flat screen TV we got to watch the teaser that was to be released the following day and then about 10 minutes of footage. The first time we watched with our jaws dropped, and then watched again so we could take notes to ask Bill Condon questions.
So the viewing ends, and in walks Bill Condon and several members of his editing staff. We all start fumbling for our recorders and it's suggested by Summit that we go around the room and introduce ourselves and the sites that we represent. Now there's a lot of people in the room, everyone's site is named "Twilight something" and if it's not confusing enough there are two Kara's, a Lauren, and a Laura, so do I think Bill Condon is going to remember any of this…no. So, it's my turn (I'm second to last) and I give my name and site as I'm fumbling in my bag for my IPhone to record the interview. I was proud of myself—drooling averted and power of speech intact. But instead of just nodding his head, Bill Condon says words to the effect (I didn't have my recorder on yet), "Oh the Lexicon. I love that site. It's impressive. We used it as a reference on set." …Yeah…all that preparation…gone…I'm pretty sure all bodily function stopped for like 3 seconds: heartbeat, breathing…hell I'm sure my liver shut down. My face was hot and I just knew I was as red as my hair. I thought I was going to pass out. I'm not exactly sure, but I think I babbled something along the lines of "Thank you so much, that's so kind of you to say, it's hard work by a lot of people." I then remember, as the girl from the UK introduced herself, turning to my left. Seated next to me was Kara from TwiMoms. As I gave her this look that we later described as "dazed Bambi on crack", she smacked me and mouthed "breathe and focus". We were good, I was back. Bill Condon was ours for an hour-long Q & A. You can catch the first part here at 6:00pm eastern today.
Shout out to our other editing room buddies:

Make Loop
I did a quick install of RedHat 7.1 to use as a base system for LFS compilation, installing the "development" packages and just those things I needed.
At installing bash in $LFS, the configure command and options runs fine (I decided to split it out from the '&&', and do each command individually). However, when I ran 'make', the configure script would run again (doing all the checking). I didn't think much of this, until I noticed the same screens ('check for blah blah blah') fly past over and over and over and ..
You get the point. So, I did 'make | more' to pause some of the screens, and before the whole thing loops again, the following message occurred:
make: *** Warning: File 'configure' has modification time in the future (2001-11-12 06:53:01 > 2000-06-15 12:13:45)
Note, this is after make was running for about 20 minutes or so. I hate wasting time like that.
Well, a quick run of 'date' tells me my system time is WAY off (set to the 'June 2000' date above. I update it, rerun make and everything is cool.
make and make install only took 1 minute or less.
So yeah, I fixed it, this isn't really a question. Just thought I'd put it out there for LFS 'notes' or whatever.
Weird that it would keep looping through and running it again. I guess it's because it only gave a warning and an error never really occurred. There are always simple little things you seem to run into when building an LFS, which often take lots of time to figure out.
I had a problem of my own which also had to do with the time. I was compiling gcc in chapter 6 and it kept complaining that I needed autoconf. Autoconf is a package that gets installed later in chapter 6 and if you don't modify the configure options then it should never need it. I scanned the mailinglist and there where several messages about making sure you didn't use the same source tree as in chapter 6. I hadn't done that but just to make sure I did the whole process again from a freshly unpacked source tree. Still the same error. I finally found a message about a guy rebooting his machine which magically solved the problem. I couldn't reboot right then because the machine was still busy with other things. But I figured that maybe because the ntpd was running it was changing the time in milliseconds which could somehow mess up with it checking to make sure a file wasn't modified. So I killed the ntpd and just to make sure I logged out and logged in again. After that it compiled without any complaints. I still don't know whether it was the ntpd or logging in and out which solved it. But I highly suspect that the ntpd was changing the time, especially since I was compiling on a 486 and quite a bit of time elapsed between starting the compile and getting the error.
Well at least I got past that, only several packages left to install in chapter 6. But they do take ages. I think I can take every time in the book and multiply it by 8 if not more, to figure out how long it takes to compile the package.
|All times are GMT -5. The time now is 01:02 AM.

Students to raise funds in Jump Rope for Heart
TERRY AHNER/TIMES NEWS S.S. Palmer Elementary student Kyle Strohl does his best on the pogo stick in an effort to raise money as part of the Jump Rope for Heart program.
They've been granted permission to jump until their little hearts are content all in the name of a healthy cause.
Because the more they do, the more money elementary students in the Palmerton Area School District will raise for Jump Rope for Heart.
The program, which began last week but was stalled several times due to inclement weather, is set to wrap up Wednesday, said physical education instructor Ryan Heller.
Among the stations Heller said the students may participate in are the pogo stick, long jump, limbo/long rope, 60-second jumping jacks, a fun station, and naturally, jump rope.
Heller said the program teaches students in grades K-6 to raise money through positive exercise habits.
"It's to help people with heart problems, and to have fun," Heller said. "We're raising money to help other people get healthy."
Heller said this year's goal is to raise $10,000. Last year, he said the just under $10,000 was raised.
Sixth-grader Kyle Strohl was all business as he bounced up and down on the pogo stick.
"I like it; it's fun," Strohl said of the program. "I'd like to raise a couple of thousand [dollars]."
Fellow sixth-grader Austin Lewis said he believes the program is a win-win situation for everyone.
"It's a great way to have fun and get some exercise," Lewis said. "It's good because we're helping out people with serious problems."
Jump Rope For Heart is a national fundraising program sponsored jointly by the AAHPERD and AHA that promotes physical activity, heart healthy living and community service to children.

A top US energy diplomat on Tuesday said he was "not too impressed" with India's efforts to cut its imports of oil from Western sanctions-hit Iran.
Cine superstar Rekha on Tuesday took oath as a member of the Rajya Sabha, becoming yet another personality from the tinsel town to enter the portals of Parliament.
Clad in golden brown saree and a matching high-heel sandals, the 57-year-old actor of yesteryears arrived in the Upper House at 10.57 hours and was immediately surrounded by members who greeted her profusely.
Renowned journalist and nominated member HK Dua offered her his seat no. 97 and was seen explaining the procedure before Chairman Hamid Ansari took his seat.
She was greeted with thumping of desk when her name was called for taking oath. "I Rekha Ganeshan" she said, swearing in the name of God in her brief oath in English.
Ansari remarked "welcome" as she walked up to him after taking oath and greeted him with folded hands.
After signing the member register, she greeted Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Leader of the Opposition Arun Jaitley and other leaders before walking to her alloted seat no. 99.
Her 'Silsila' rival, Jaya Bachchan (SP), who entered the House before her, occupied her new seat and was engrossed in the day's agenda and the two ladies of Bollywood did not greet each other.
Rekha, seated next to Anu Aga (Nom), put on headphones as the House took up listed questions. In between she exchanged notes with Javed Akhtar.
Telugu superstar Chiranjeevi was among those who greeted her before the House began.
Nineteen minutes and 23 seconds into the proceedings, Rekha stood up, shook hands with Aga and Dua before making a quiet exit from the House.
Rekha, who was nominated to the Upper House on April 26 along with Sachin Tendulkar, met the Chairman and the Prime Minister in Parliament before taking oath.
There was excitement outside Parliament House and in the corridors as the Bollywood star of the 80s arrived. News camerapersons ran towards her vehicle as it arrived near the main entrance of Parliament.
Amid chaotic scenes at the entrance, Rekha was taken to the special entrance gate used by the Prime Minister.
Accompanied by the Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Rajiv Shukla, she met the Rajya Sabha Chairman. She was then taken to the office of the Prime Minister, who is the Leader of the Rajya Sabha.
Born on October 10, 1954, Rekha, whose original name was Bhanurekha Ganesan had begun her film career at the tender age of 12 and acted as as child actress in the Telugu movie 'Rangula Ratnam'.
At the age of 16, she made her debut in Hindi film 'Sawan Bhadon' in 1970 in which she was cast in the lead role. Rekha, who has acted in around 180 films in her film career spanning four decades, got national and international acclaim with her films like Umrao Jaan, Silsila, Aastha and Kama Sutra, a foreign production directed by Mira Nair.
Tendulkar is expected to take oath as a Rajya Sabha member on Wednesday. The terms of both Rekha and Tendulkar as Rajya Sabha members began on April 27.
Welcoming Rekha to the Rajya Sabha, RJD chief Lalu Prasad said, "Rekha is a great artist, we welcome her into our fraternity."
Former Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh on Tuesday refused to comment on reports of SP MP Jaya Bachchan's demand to change her seat in Rajya Sabha after Bollywood actress Rekha's nomination to the Upper House, saying it was her own 'Silsila'.
"I don't want to say anything on why Jaya Bachchan changed her seat. It's her own 'Silsila'. Amitabh Bachchan is my friend and have seen Rekha in his films. I congratulated her when I met her today. I don't have any personal equation with her though," Amar Singh told reporters.

I would like to buy this really nice theme! But the fact, that IE10 isn't supported keeps me away from it. Is it going to be support soon ?
Hi, that's a bit not accurate: Depth was not TESTED in IE10 since it was not available for us at moment of theme development. We are planning to perform extensive tests and confirm IE10 compatibility later this month.
Salve avrei bisogno di creare la pagina uguale a questa http://themeforest.net/item/depth-fullscreen-ajax-portfolio-wordpress-theme/full_screen_preview/3933321 ma provo e riprovo ma ancora non ci sono riuscita. Inoltre se voglio personalizzare la pagina utlizzando le multifunzioni tipo contact icons, contact form, ecc.. mi risulta error serve!
Hey, English please. Thanks!
how can I get an entry to my site the same way about this? http://themeforest.net/item/depth-fullscreen-ajax-portfolio-wordpress-theme/full_screen_preview/3933321 I would get the small images on the right menu and closed social icons on the menu bar! the theme on my website as soon as you access the page menu opens automatically!
You've posted a link to ThemeForest preview – I cannot see which page you are referring to
To save your time, let's do this: please, submit a request via our online help-desk http://support.dream-theme.com – our support staff will get back to you ASAP and take a look what is wrong. Thanks!
The Sidebar keeps moving underneath the page content, regardless of which sidebar type I choose. How do I move it back to the right.
If I need to enter a code somewhere please give a step by step breakdown of where the code should go!
Hi, please, submit a request via our online help-desk http://support.dream-theme.com – we'll get back to you ASAP and take a look what is wrong. Thanks!
While this is a very good theme, there is one element of it that isn't very good at all.
Due to the way its coded, sending out direct links to blog posts under this theme causes the resulting page to appear unformatted with plain links and text. It look very ugly and basically isn't something you'd want to present to anyone.
It's unfortunate that sending out direct links to blog posts is a common thing with any wordpress blog, and is a thorn in the side of this otherwise very nice theme.
As i don't see this problem discussed anywhere about this theme, I just wanted to point it out to anyone else considering a purchase who would be unaware of this problem. If you commonly need to send out links to things like Twitter/Facebook and other sites, you can't do that with this theme.
Hi, Thank you so much for feedback!
All is correct: there's no styling when you are trying to send a link to specific POST.
Depth is 100% ajax-powered. This means that blog posts are being loaded dynamically to specific placeholder in the modal window. Therefore there must be pure html without styling, etc.
We are currently looking for alternative ways of display posts via direct links to improve their styling.
Again thanks for feedback and understanding!
I'm just writing in to let you know I've had a wonderful experience with one of your customer service team members who put together a workaround for this problem. It's not perfect (could do with the menu being it so you can still navigate) but is MUCH better than previously, and i really do appreciate the extra effort and dev time put in. Thanks! Please let us know if you improve this further (would really love a menu on it somewhere).
Hi there! I'm considering buying this theme— however custom post types are a dealbreaker for me. Is it possible to simply use the standard wordpress categories instead and achieve the same results?
Most of my portfolio is video; is youtube, etc able to be embedded in posts?
There are 2 layouts for blog: classic ( http://depth.dream-demo.com/blog-irina ) and (portfolio-style: http://depth.dream-demo.com/#!/http://depth.dream-demo.com/blog-irina/full-width-blog ). Moreover you can have multiple blog pages to display different category(s). So I guess you'll be able to avoid using custom post types.
Hello there, i am about to purchase this theme and i want to ask – is it possible to protect the images from right click etc. As i think the light box effect wont allow such. Pls me out
There are specialized plugins for this purpose. E.g. this: http://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-protection/
I just purchased this theme, as I am new to WP I need help how to upload videos in the homepage as well as include the photo scroller in the bottom. In the backen there is no option to add videos or slideshow.
Please note that we provide support only via our online help-desk: http://support.dream-theme.com . Submit a ticket there and we'll get back to you ASAP. Thanks!
Hi, nice theme!
One question: how can I change the background color in the space where the text is written?
Thanks for a quick response!
This can be done in CSS . If you are familiar with it, you can use FireBug (FireFox plugin for web-developers) or Chrome web developers tools to define which style should be changed and where. Here's an awesome screencast by WooThemes on how to use it: http://vimeo.com/20917974 Otherwise you can consider hiring a freelancer to help you. Thanks!
Is there a way to change the place of the logo in another position?
Same as your previous question.
HI, is there a demo/dummy content file to help with understanding how theme works (having bought 2 themes already, and struggled, I really need this)
There IS a dummy xml in theme "Main File(s)". Please unzip the package and find file called "dummy.xml" in it.
I really do not understand. Have bought a theme from you and now have problems with double permalink. I am like many others relies on your support forum, but there you dont get no response?
Where do you turn if you do not get answers here, but be referred where you do not get a response? Are there more options to send their questions to?
Support requests are being processed on business days from 8:00 to 17:00 (GMT 0.0) [normally] within 24h in the order they were received. – this is written all over our profile, support pages and themes descriptions
Regarding double links. Since depth it AJAX-powered theme, they are REQUIRED to keep track of our navigation on site. In other words, to make your "back, forward and reload" links work correctly. Please do not worry – this is common practice and search engines can see only regular links, so it will NOT decrease SEO results.
Ok then I know about support time and weekday
Can you answer my questions in support (http://support.dream-theme.com) do you think?
Have a little more trouble than the actual permalink
Attention! Due to technical reasons support requests will not be processed from June 13 to June 16 (inclusively). All requests collected during this period will be processed in order they were recieved on Monday, June 17.
Thank you so much for patience and understanding!
Does this theme support Vimeo videos? (for portfolio, gallery and video background)
Hi, Sorry for taking so long to reply – we were absent for couple of days.
> Does this theme support Vimeo videos?
I'm afraid no.
I want to purchase this template, but before it happens, I need to know:
1. when I click on portfolio, items are show. can those items show their description before mouse over action, so every portfolio items shows its description before mouse action and client chooses which items to click to get popup
2. does this site work on movile devices, tablets… i noticed that it is very slow on mobile phones, s3, s4, htc one, etc…
3. is it possible to insert standard css code into text area of posts and pages, to insert images, links, custom divs, etc…?
4. when i mouseover over portfolio menu item, is it possible to show different portfolio categories: portfolio: doors, windows, bathrooms, clients and then when I click doors, i get, for example, portrait portfolio with types of doors: all, type1, type2 and same for other categories, windows, bathrooms, etc…
5. can I do the same with photo albums?
6. is it possible to create custom text and image pages?
7. can text area at the bottom be higher and shown ALL the time?
Thats all for now Thanks.
1. This will require significant amount of customization.
2. Works, but it's really kinda slow on Android.
3. Depth has very complicated style structure. So it can be tricky.
4. yes
5. yes
6. you can create pages and put text and photos there. so I suppose, "yes"
7. it can be opened, but making it higher requires significant amount of customization.
Navigation arrows or move the background image with arrows, as I put?
Please note that we provide support only via our online help-desk: http://support.dream-theme.com . Submit a ticket there and we'll get back to you ASAP. Thanks!
Buen Día, Cuando estará la plantilla disponible con adaptación para móviles.?
Please note that we provide support only via our online help-desk: http://support.dream-theme.com . Submit a ticket there and we'll get back to you ASAP. Thanks!
Buen Día, acá me pide que debo ingresara el código de compra pero no puedo comprar el producto hasta que esté disponible en responsibe desing, con adaptación para móviles.
Hi There,
Can the logo (Depth) in this demo be removed or replaced by another one?
Hi, Sure you can replace standard logo with your own: it can be done via Theme Options in couple of clicks
I love this theme's style and would buy it if it was responsive… will it ever be??
I'm afraid we are not going to make this theme responsive.
hey i gotta a question, i have seen other themes that are integrated to work with woocommerce. I would like to know do you plan on setting up this with such feature. I am have a really hard time decided between this theme and Titan Responsive Portfolio Photography Theme which already has this woocommerce integrations. But i like this theme a little more. Please get back to me and let know if you are planning on added this feature. I really want and need it as well as other people to sale our photographs.
We do not recommend installing WooCommerce on Depth (since it is AJAX-based and more small-portfolio-oriented theme).
that really sad news…. so we can sell our photographs on our website thanks tho.
This theme appears to meet most of the requirements for a project I've got in mind, but before I go ahead and purchase it (my first wp theme), I need to know 2 things.
1: Is it possible to do front end upload to the gallery? 2: Does this come with any documentations/tutorial to make installation and customisation easier? As a Joomla user embarking on my first WP project I'll need all the help I can get.
1. This is not a standard feature, and I'm not sure if/how can it be implemented.
2. There is a complete user guide that cover all theme functions. However there's no separate "customization guide" – you may use general tutorials for that.
Thanks for your replied, much appreciated. Would you please kindly consider making the Logo toggle on and off like the vertical image slider on the right? That will add a nice touch to an already great design.
Many thanks…
Hi, Thanks for proposal – I'll discuss it with colleagues.

The Day After: Game Seven debacle highlights many questions for Penguins
by Tony on 05/13/10 at 03:02 PM ET
Comments (27)
As Paul teased me about last night on Twitter, my playoff beard was gone not five minutes after the final seconds had ticked off the old barn's clock in the Penguins' 5-2 defeat at the hands of the Canadiens.
It was arguably the worst performance in recent Penguins playoff history. Forget about it being Game Seven and all, that just magnifies how the Pens stunk up the joint.
But it really was a microcosm of the Penguins season, when you think about it: Poor goaltending, poor defensive positioning, poor power play, et cetera, et cetera.
So I've got about a zillion questions racing around my nimble brain, I'm still a little fried from last night. In absolutely no particular order, I'm just wondering:
- Have we seen the last of Sergei Gonchar in a Penguins uniform? If it is, boy did Sarge go out on a stinker. "Dis-interested" seems too harsh a word, but damn if it isn't accurate for a few plays.
- Have we seen the last of Bill Guerin in a Penguins uniform? (No, not going down the entire list of UFA's today, save that for down the road)
- Do you think NHL GM's took more than a few notes on how to defend Crosby and Malkin after this series? Now I realize that planning to stop them and actually doing it are two different things, but you've gotta tip your hat to Gill and Gorges, they did an outstanding job on Sid and Geno.
- There's plenty of blame to go around, you simply must place some, not all, but some of the blame with Crosby and Malkin. Whatever the reason, whether that be great defense, outstanding goaltending, or a combination of the two, their collective lack of production was a significant factor.
- I'll be the first to tell you that I have no clue about French Canadian culture, but you gotta be a couple sandwiches short of a picnic to bring a frickin' monkey puppet with you in your $300 seat behind the Penguins' bench.
- I heard some dingbat actually blow a horn to start a "Let's Go Pens" chant, a' la the Phone Booth in Washington. That lasted about five seconds before the organist put an abrupt stop to it.
- Don't look now, but last I checked Brooks Orpik is still aimlessly cross-checking Maxim Lapierre into the back of the Pens' net, thereby putting himself woefully out of position so Cammalleri can score.
- Pens fans, I'm with ya all the way, but what in Sam Hill happened to allow so many Habs fans in the building last night? Are they faster with their mouse fingers? Quicker Internet connections? I admit that I wasn't a fan of the Pens shutting out the Wings fans during the Finals, and definitely don't agree with all of the tactics that Ted Leonsis does in Washington to keep Pens fans out, but I'll just say that I was shocked to see how many Habs fans got tickets to a Game Seven.
- I'm gonna repeat what I tweeted last night. I'm not crying over spilled milk, but the boarding call to Crosby ten seconds into the game was absolutely a horseshit call.
- What to say about Marc-Andre Fleury. Dude needs to clear his head back home for a while. Decline any invites to the Worlds. Take a bunch of time off, then start working out, get your stuff straight and come back ready to go for camp. For us fans, I think at this point we're just going to have to accept that Fleury is going to be a goalie that we won't know "which Fleury" we're gonna get game to game. Yes, I know he's STILL only 25, so Marc, please prove me wrong.
- We'll most likely start hearing word about some injuries like we always do in the coming days. One player that I've heard may be banged up is Orpik. Also interested to hear the extent of Staal's foot injury as well.
I could go on for a while, but unfortunately there's plenty of time to talk, isn't there.

Well, biggest problems in no particular order were the stars not scoring, the defense being awful, the goaltending inconsistent, and a coach that was completely outclassed. It's just amazing how all the wheels fell of in this series. Luckily, the Pens top guys are locked up.
I wouldn't be upset if they decided to dump Meloche and bring a new goaltending coach in. But that's another story. Only about 150 days until the next season starts….ugh.
Posted by pens fan in baltimore on 05/13/10 at 03:08 PM ET
The boarding call was horseshit? Why, because it was 10 seconds in or because it was Crosby? It can't be because it wasn't actually boarding, because it very clearly was. Crosby boarded a Habs player 10 seconds into the game. It's a penalty whether it's Crosby or Carcillor, 10 seconds in or 10 minutes in.
Posted by awould on 05/13/10 at 03:14 PM ET
The Centers & No wings BS HAS TO STOP NOW !!!! not Tomorrow NOW,Having Sid Play with Dupuis & Kuntiz & Geno with Poni & Guerin is JUST EMBARRASSING

Posted by awould on 05/13/10 at 02:14 PM ET
The fact it was Crosby doesn't mean anything other than he was the one who hit Gorges…. My contention is that the hit didn't equate the penalty, specifically that Gorges hardly hit the boards at all, much less "violently" as the rule stipulates….
42.1 Boarding – A boarding penalty shall be imposed on any player who
checks an opponent in such a manner that causes the opponent to be
thrown violently in the boards.
Don't know what your definition of "violent" is, but that ain't it IMO…..
Posted by Tony from Virginia Beach, VA on 05/13/10 at 03:23 PM ET
By the way, tried to find a clip of it, unsuccessful so far, Gorges hardly even hit the boards….
Posted by Tony from Virginia Beach, VA on 05/13/10 at 03:24 PM ET
That's a good point. I think the Pens need to trade Staal or somebody to get them a decent Winger to take advantage of Crosby/Malkin's talent. Imagine if they had a non-journeyman or non-over the hill guy to dish the puck to….. The Pens have nobody in the top 30 pt scorers for Left or Right Wing for the 09/10 season. That's pretty amazing given Crosby/Malkin are both in the top 10 for Centers. They've got no Toews/Kane, Getlzaf/Perry, Backstrom/Ovechkin, Datsyuk/Franzen combo. It's all loaded in the Center, which gives them great depth at that one position, but it sort of makes them one-dimensional in a sense, which is probably what the Habs were able to take advantage of.
Posted by awould on 05/13/10 at 03:29 PM ET
When you start parsing words…. what the definition of violent is?.... you're out on a limb. He was hit from behind into the boards and most of the hockey world that I've seen pretty much saw it as boarding. Crosby didn't let up in his check and if the hit wasn't violent enough for you, it was still a dangerous hit and lucky he didn't injure the guy.
Posted by awould on 05/13/10 at 03:31 PM ET
Well, I would agree if we were disagreeing solely on what is construed as "violent", but I also contend that Crosby didn't hit him from behind, but rather from the side…. In addition, Crosby hit him approximately five feet from the boards, and it was only AFTER Gorges hit the ice that he hit the boards…
I need to find that video…
Posted by Tony from Virginia Beach, VA on 05/13/10 at 03:35 PM ET
Honestly, I can't even tell you if that was a penalty on Crosby or not. I couldn't believe that a call was made 10 seconds into the game and I don't remember VS showing a replay of it. It also didn't help the puck went into the net 20 seconds after that.
Posted by pens fan in baltimore on 05/13/10 at 03:38 PM ET
- I'll be the first to tell you that I have no clue about French Canadian culture, but you gotta be a couple sandwiches short of a picnic to bring a frickin' monkey puppet with you in your $300 seat behind the Penguins' bench.
I thought the exact same thing… my wife couldn't care any less about hockey, and even she noticed that and remarked how creepy it was.
Posted by Nathan from the scoresheet! on 05/13/10 at 03:40 PM ET
While I agree that was a bit of an iffy call, the Pens had enough chances to get that PP goal back but instead they went 0 for 6 or whatever it was. Outside of Game 1 their ineffectiveness on the power play really cost them and that definitely falls on the star players. Malkin was passing to no one all night long and Gonchar was doing his best impression of a parking cone.
Posted by SolidTG7 on 05/13/10 at 03:43 PM ET
Decline any invites to the Worlds.
That probably is an invite that is not going to be issued. Wow, he sucked it up bad last night.
I have watched countless replays of the short-handed goal, and i still have no idea what Gonchar is doing… he did not move at all. I swear it looks as if he put down a few million on the Habs to win with that move. There really is no other way to describe it.
* They need to trade Gogo (we would have won game 6 if we had McKee in instead)
* They need to let Gonchar go elsewhere
* They need to let Guerin retire/go elsewhere
* Let Poni walk
* let Feds walk
* move Staal, Cooke, Kennedy to second line
* move Malkin to first line with Crosby
* give letestu third line center position
* sign some GOOD d-men. Not offensive d-men.
Posted by gretzky_to_lemieux on 05/13/10 at 03:43 PM ET
I saw the boarding call on replay during an intermission or something and thought it looked like textbook boarding and a very stupid play to make. I'd like to see it again because maybe it would look different the next day. As for 10 seconds in, I have no problem at all with that - especially a boarding call, which should always be called as it is dangerous. I'd have more of a problem if it was a weak hooking call. But the refs need to set the tone and if they thought he boarded the guy, you gotta call it.
Posted by awould on 05/13/10 at 03:44 PM ET
Per Dreger, he's already been asked to play in the Worlds…
Posted by Tony from Virginia Beach, VA on 05/13/10 at 03:50 PM ET
I have no problem with the boarding call on Crosby, it was a classical example of trying to do too much the first thirty seconds rather than exploiting the sixty minutes. The probability of some Penguin taking a stupid penalty in the first minute chasing down Montreal defencemen, and thereby shooting themselves in the foot, was rather monumental.

I think espn has it in the hilights of the game.
His elbow comes right across the back on the numbers. It was a clear check from behind.

and checking someone from behind 5 feet from the boards often times means that person is going in head first.
Posted by YYZerman from Detroit, Michigan on 05/13/10 at 04:22 PM ET
ESPN didn't have a link for it, but here's the page with the highlights….
I'm sorry, that is not a hit from behind, that's a hit from the side….
Like I said, it's all good now, there were plenty of other screw ups that happened….

via Shelly Anderson of the PPG,
Penguins center and captain Sidney Crosby today declined an inviation to join Team Canada as an injury replacement for the ongoing International Ice Hockey Federation World Championships in Germany. Canada.
Pat Brisson, Crosby's agent, said by text that "at this time and after a long 24 months between [two Stanley Cup] finals and an [Olympic] gold medal, it's probably more appropriate to relax and recharge."
Posted by Paul from Motown Area on 05/13/10 at 04:55 PM ET
O'Hallerass can't even help the Pens out. That's just crazy.
FWIW Tony…the season after the Cup drives you crazy, doesn't it?
Posted by mrfluffy from A wide spot on I-90 in Montana on 05/13/10 at 04:57 PM ET
Not to keep beating this dead horse, Tony, and no offense intended, but that was from behind, and from an angle. I'd bet if a Penguin took that hit and no call was made, you'd be angry about it.
But you're right, doesn't make a bit of difference. And giving up a goal 30 seconds in means there is still 59.5 minutes to get it back and they didn't do it. They deserved to lose. Just like my Wings deserved to lose their series, even though I didn't like many many calls the refs made there, I can point to a lack of effort for 60 minutes each game, a serious lack of focus for short stretches in every game they lost and shoddy goaltending. At least I have the memory of the ass whipping laid out in Game 4 and a good reason to hope for next season….
Posted by awould on 05/13/10 at 04:58 PM ET
I think the key was something that Hal Gill said and part he left unspoken after the game when asked about being on the other side against the Pens this playoff. He said that the Habs played as a team. It seemed as if he were implying that they weren't relying on one or two stars to do it for them. Even last year it was Talbot who took the Pens over the top against the Wings. The Habs focused on shutting down the Pens up the middle and no one else stepped up. I got the impression Gill was looking for recognition that two or three guys no matter how all world their talents are can't win without the guys that do the little things following a game plan, but that's just my opinion.
I think it was a good call on Crosby and set the tone early. To me it was a textbook boarding penalty, but shouldn't have been the deciding factor either way with 59 minutes to play. However, it was an indicator of how the game was going to pan out.

Welcome to the club, folks.
Posted by Hippy Dave from Portland by way of Detroit on 05/14/10 at 03:25 AM ET
...but the boarding call to Crosby ten seconds into the game was absolutely a horseshit call.
Gary. Ass. ..........wait, is that copyrighted?
Anyway, Thanx for a great season Tony.
And just because we're heading into the offseason it's no reason to slack off. I be expecting top notch blogging all summer long.

No big surprise here – Archbishop of Canterbury asserts that the U.S. is the worst imperialist since the British Empire.
He said the crisis was caused not just by America's actions but also by its misguided sense of its own mission. He poured scorn on the "chosen nation myth of America, meaning that what happens in America is very much at the heart of God's purpose for humanity".
Williams went beyond his previous critique of the conduct of the war on terror, saying the United States had lost the moral high ground since September 11. He urged it to launch a "generous and intelligent programme of aid directed to the societies that have been ravaged; a check on the economic exploitation of defeated territories; a demilitarisation of their presence".
He went on to suggest that the West was fundamentally adrift: "Our modern western definition of humanity is clearly not working very well. There is something about western modernity which really does eat away at the soul."
Some of the comments there are exceedingly entertaining. One can't help but feel if the Dear Boy got out a bit more, he might have a different take.

Wow...Alisha was super fine man. She had this nostalgic look about her. Reminded me of when I used to watch porn movies when mom and pops were out. That lingerie she was wearing turned me on as well...and she did a good job of slowly teasing us as she took it off. She also had a little tongue ring that looked interesting. Trust me on this...the blow jobs are amazing when chicks have one. You guys wont be dissapointed with this weeks super honey.
