Summary (Censorship (Ready Reference series))
Portnoy's Complaint, a long monologue narrated by a young Jewish man while in analysis, is prefaced by a definition of "Portnoy's Complaint" as a disorder in which "strongly felt ethical and altruistic impulses are perpetually warring with extreme sexual longings, often of a perverse nature." The book focuses on Portnoy's parents, his endless adolescent experimentation with masturbation, his youthful sexual encounters with girls, his varied sexual experiences with a model named Monkey, and his pilgrimage to Israel—all of which are punctuated by frequently obscene outcries against the guilt he feels for his sexual obsessions. Roth, who has defended himself and the book many times, claims it is full of dirty words because Portnoy wants to be free: "I wanted to raise obscenity to the level of a subject."
The book became a cause célèbre in 1969, commented on by social critics and stand-up comedians alike. Most objections to it came from Jewish groups and rabbis who called it "anti-Semitic" and "self-hating" and protested against libraries that put it on their shelves. It was seized in Australia in 1970 and 1971 by Melbourne officials, who filed obscenity charges against it and the bookseller who sold it.

Summary (Identities & Issues in Literature)
Philip Roth's third novel, Portnoy's Complaint, takes the form of an outrageous, comic rant by Alexander Portnoy to his psychoanalyst, whose help Portnoy seeks because he feels that his life has come to be a "Jewish joke." Portnoy's impassioned, self-absorbed monologues explore his childhood and his erotic relationships. He wishes to locate the source of his pain, composed of guilt, shame, desire, and emotional paralysis, and to free himself from his past. The best-selling novel shocked readers with its obscenity, graphic sexual descriptions, and exaggerations of Jewish stereotypes.
Portnoy's early memories include his mother's intense overprotectiveness and warnings against pleasure, his father's emasculation by the gentile firm for which he works, and his own efforts to loosen the chains that bind him by breaking taboos, especially by frequent, ill-timed sexual escapades. His furious attempts at "self-loving" can be seen as symbolic expressions of self-loathing, intricately related to his position as a Jew in America. The satiric presentation of Portnoy as a figure of excess who wants to put the "id back in Yid" and the "oy back in goy," provided Roth with a way to inquire into the complacency and neuroses of assimilated Jews in gentile America.
In the postwar years, the Holocaust—the "saga of the suffering Jews"—defined Jewish American identity and encouraged Jews to assimilate...

Summary (Magill's Survey of American Literature, Revised Edition)
Portnoy's Complaint is not only the title of this novel, it is also the illness defined in an epigraph that precedes the book: "A disorder in which strongly-felt ethical and altruistic impulses are perpetually warring with extreme sexual longings, often of a perverse nature." Alexander Portnoy, after whom the disease is named, is a young Jewish professional, the Assistant Commissioner for Human Opportunity in New York City. After a recent trip to Israel in which he discovers, to his dismay, that he has become impotent, he seeks the help of a psychiatrist, Dr. Otto Spielvogel. The novel, in fact, is in the form of a long monologue, or a series of psychiatric sessions, in which Portnoy describes his past life, beginning with his earliest years, growing up in Newark as the son of Sophie and Jack Portnoy, to his present life as an important official in the New York bureaucracy. The monologue is punctuated by much dialogue, as he recalls conversations, quarrels, and arguments with his family and a number of lovers, culminating in his disastrous sexual experience in Israel.
The dominant figure in his early life is his mother, whose behavior as a stereotyped Jewish mother is the subject of much satire and humor. Little Alex is astonished at her omnipotence and her apparent omnipresence. A good little boy, he is nevertheless punished at times for faults he cannot understand how—or if—he committed. His rebellions are futile, and his perplexity...
(The entire section is 880 words.)
Summary (Masterplots, Fourth Edition)
Alexander Portnoy has a very difficult childhood and young adulthood growing up in a lower-middle-class Jewish family in Newark, New Jersey. Part of his problem is his emotionally overcharged home environment; another part is the conflict between his desire to be a dutiful son and his wish to enjoy life to the utmost as a fully assimilated American. As a result he becomes highly neurotic and seeks therapy from a psychiatrist, Dr. Spielvogel, to whom he recounts his experiences.
Portnoy's mother, Sophie, is an overbearing woman (a stereotypical "Jewish momma") who torments Alex with demands he hardly knows how to fulfill. His poor, constipated father, Jack, is no help at all in containing Sophie's dictatorial control of the household. Neither is Alex's sister, Hannah, who plays only a shadowy role in Alex's descriptions of the family. For example, throughout his boyhood and into later life, Portnoy could never understand what it was that he did as a little boy that made his mother lock him outside their apartment door. What crime had he committed? Try as he would to please her, at least once a month he finds himself locked outside, vainly hammering on the door and pleading to be allowed back inside.
As he enters puberty, Portnoy's sex drive goes into high gear. Some of the most hilarious occasions he recalls for his psychiatrist involve masturbation and an early, futile attempt to have sex with a local teenager, Bubbles Girardi,...

Someone who lives after the occurrence of an event that entitles them to seek a distribution of property or income (e.g., a surviving spouse).
Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
A person who outlives another. The term is often used in wills and trust documents. For example a will might leave property "to my sons, Arnold and Zeke, or the survivor." If only one son is alive at the time the property is distributed, it would all go to him.
Definition provided by Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary.

Florida's Foreclosure King David Stern Putting His Assets Up For Sale
The company has faltered in recent months and around 1,000 DJSP employees have been laid off since last fall. Stern's firm was once one of the largest foreclosure firms in Florida but there have been claims of fraudulent court documents being filed in foreclosure cases. It is now one of seven foreclosure law firms being investigated by the Florida Attorney General's Office.
Stern has listed two properties on South Florida's Hillsboro Beach and the Sun-Sentinel article says that what is believed to be his Italian-built superyacht, the 130-foot yacht, Misunderstood, is listed for sale for $18 million at The Yacht & Brokerage Show on Miami Beach. Together two properties on Hillsboro Beach which have enviable ocean-to-intracoastal lots are listed for a total of nearly $20 million. A Vail ski house belonging to Stern's wife is also on the market for around $6 million.
Even if he sells those properties he still has a $15 million mansion in Fort Lauderdale and a penthouse condo in the Ritz Carlton on Fort Lauderdale Beach.

Kieron Moore Movies
"Handsome in a slightly eccentric fashion" was how film historian Bill Warren described Irish leading man
Kieron Moore.
On stage in his native country from 1941, Moore made his first British film in 1944. Though there was nothing archaic about his acting style, Moore seemed best suited to period roles: Vronsky in
Anna Karenina
(1948), Uriah in
David and Bathsheba
(1951). Moore's honest intensity enhanced the credibility of many otherwise hard-to-swallow plotlines in such "fantastic" films as
Satellite in the Sky
Dr. Blood's Coffin
Day of the Triffids
(1962) and
Crack in the World
(1965); his honest intensity enhanced the credibility factor of the otherwise hard-to-swallow plotlines. After his retirement from acting in 1967, Moore directed and narrated two Third World documentaries, 1975's
The Progress of Peoples
and 1979's The Parched Land, and also served as associate editor of the Roman Catholic periodical The Universe. He died on July 15, 2007, at the age of 82. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Custer of the West
Add Custer of the West to Queue
Add Custer of the West to top of Queue
Opening with a montage depicting its subject's Civil War exploits, Custer of the West carries us across four years of fighting in less than four minutes of screen time. The Civil War ended, George Armstrong Custer (Robert Shaw) longs for action and to hold onto his rank of general, so General Phil Sheridan (Lawrence Tierney) sends him West, admitting that there will be no nobility to his cause there -- the government and the people want the land, and that means getting the Indians off of it by any means necessary. He arrives in time to see a party of Cheyenne (whom the real Custer never fought) kill a pair of miners by sending them rolling down a long hill in a runaway wagon -- that motif is repeated, in ever more striking, elaborate, and violent fashions, in two subsequent action scenes. Custer organizes his command around Major Marcus Reno (Ty Hardin), depicted as an ambitious officer with a drinking problem, and Captain Benteen (Jeffrey Hunter), a humane officer with a strange, almost mystical streak, who understands the Indians better than anyone else in Custer's command. Also present are Mary Ure as Custer's loving wife and Robert Ryan in a very flamboyant performance as a larcenous sergeant who comes to no good end after being stricken with gold fever. After getting his command into the shape it needs to be -- mostly by running everyone except a lone sergeant into the ground in an extended drill -- he carries out his mission, quietly detesting the motives behind his orders but executing them out to the letter. Regarded as a hero in the East, Custer returns to Washington only to jeopardize his career by testifying about the corruption he's found around him in the West. He is left a political pariah but once more. Sheridan intercedes, again getting Custer posted with the Seventh Cavalry now engaged against the Sioux. He is, by this time, disillusioned with the army that he serves and the politicians and the business interests in whose service it functions. Though he craves the glory that comes with battle, he sees soldiering of the type he is being asked to carry out as little more than organized slaughter, even relying on machines to do the killing in ever more indiscriminate ways with none of the contest between men, of strategies, and arms and resourcefulness -- that was his real joy. The demons and goals that drive him culminate with Custer's disastrous action at Little Big Horn, which is beautifully (if not necessarily accurately) staged, in a stunning visual and aural denouement. ~ Bruce Eder, Rovi

Add Arabesque to top of Queue
An expert in ancient hieroglyphics unexpectedly finds himself involved in a web of international intrigue in this chic, enjoyably tongue-in-cheek espionage adventure. Gregory Peck stars as David Pollock, an American professor whose predictable academic routine is overturned when he is hired to help translate a mysterious message written in an obscure ancient text. The real trouble begins, however, when everyone from a wealthy oil magnate to a foreign government to brutal criminals starts to chase Pollock, desperate to discover the nature of the deciphered message. Along for the ride is Yasmin Azir (Sophia Loren), the gorgeous lover of Pollock's employers, whose loyalties are questionable, to say the least. The tangled narrative proves less important than the film's stylish surface, from the colorful London locations to the Henry Mancini score. Certain touches date the film, like a brief foray into psychedelia, but the modish visuals are generally an appropriate match to the insouciant tone. Not taking itself seriously enough to be truly thrilling, Arabesque nevertheless stands as a witty, well-made example of a particular breed of airy, intentionally superficial comic adventure. ~ Judd Blaise, Rovi

Bikini Paradise
Mission to Paradise is a British equivalent to those frolicsome female skinfests often seen on the USA network's
Up All Night
. British military officers Kieron Moore and John Baer are shipwrecked while on a reconnaissance mission. They soon discover to their delight that the island is populated by beautiful young damsels, dressed in very little indeed. These girls had themselves been shipwrecked as schoolchildren, together with their very proper headmistress (Kay Walsh). The time has now come for the lovely young things to procreate, and Moore and Baer are elected for the task. There is one catch, however; once they're finished replenishing the stock, the men will be killed. Janette Scott, who has too much grace and class to be stuck in this piece of tripe, is the most intelligent of the girls. Also in the cast is Alexander Knox, who in happier days once played Woodrow Wilson. Mission to Paradise was reissued in the US as Bikini Paradise; oh, we're so excited! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

A scientist trying to better mankind nearly destroys the world as we know it in this sci-fi thriller. Dr. Stephen Sorensen (Dana Andrews) is doing research in geo-thermal energy; he's convinced that if men can find a way to drill through the earth's outer crust into the molten magma near the center, the heat can be harnessed and used to warm dwellings around the world. His assistant, Ted Rampion (Kieron Moore), is skeptical about this idea and believes that there could be dire consequences, but Sorensen boldly moves ahead with his plan, prodded by his secret knowledge that he suffers from a terminal illness and might not live long enough to undergo a longer testing period. However, Rampion's fears soon prove well founded when Sorensen's drilling causes a large crack in the earth which begins to rapidly expand, threatening to split the world in two with disastrous consequences. Crack in the World was praised on initial release for its intelligent approach and solid special effects work. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Hide and Seek
A professor of astronomy, David Garrett (Ian Carmichael), is involved with a highly confidential project to develop missiles. He runs into an old friend from the Soviet Union who is now the world chess champion. As David soon discovers, the champion is with a team working for sinister businessman Hubert Marek (Curt Jugens). Marek intends to have David abducted while making it appear as if the professor has defected. Though he narrowly escapes one trap in England, David must continually ascertain who may be in on the group's scheme if he is to survive. Director Cy Endfield enjoyed much greater success earlier in 1964 with Zulu, his historical action feature about a native uprising in Africa. David Stone wrote the screenplay for Hide and Seek, adapted by Robert Foshko from Harold Greene's story.

Adapted from the novel by John Wyndham, this intelligent British monster movie begins with a meteor shower so intensely bright that it blinds the majority of the world's population, rendering them vulnerable to attack from hordes of carnivorous plants known as "Triffidus Celestus" grown from meteor-borne spores. As the plant-monsters continue to multiply and seek human prey, the remaining sighted people join forces to combat the veggie invaders. One such survivor, an American seaman (Howard Keel) whose eyes were bandaged during the meteorite impact, battles his way through the Triffid ranks. Meanwhile, a couple (Kieron Moore and Janette Scott are trapped in a lighthouse.

The Day They Robbed the Bank of England
This crime caper based on a legendary robbery stars Aldo Ray as Norgate, the ringleader of the thieves out to steal a bundle from the Bank of England. But it is a young Peter O'Toole as the guard Fitch who steals the show -- two years before Lawrence of Arabia would make him an internationally acclaimed star. The year is 1901 and Norgate is an avid supporter of Irish Home Rule, avid enough to plan this robbery to get the bullion needed to make his independence wishes come true. He gathers together the necessary crew of brains, brawn, and bravado, and the would-be thieves make their way through a sewer system that runs under the bank.

The Siege of Sidney Street
A real-life incident became the basis for this highly fictionalized drama about a January 1911 confrontation between political anarchists and London police in that city's Whitechapel district that resulted in an infamous, blazing gun battle. Sara (Nicole Berger) is an orphaned Russian girl who works as a singer in a nightclub. There she meets Peter (Peter Wyngarde), anarchist leader of expatriate Latvians agitating for the independence of their home country following the failed revolt of 1905. At first, Sara is sympathetic to Peter and his cause, but she soon discovers that the rebels are using whatever means necessary, including robbery and murder, to raise money for their crusade, and that Peter himself has an overly pragmatic, callous attitude toward the taking of innocent life. The group's nefarious activities have attracted the attention of London police, and an inspector, Mannering (Donald Sinden) goes undercover with the anarchists in order to help bring them to justice. Mannering feels sympathy for Sara and befriends her, coming to understand her lonely attraction to Peter. The gang's violent onslaught continues unabated and results in a raid that pits gang members against hundreds of armed police. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Disneyland: I Captured the King of the Leprechauns
In its promotional material for the 1959 theatrical feature Darby O'Gill and the Little People, the Disney studio went into whimsical overdrive, hoping to convince the younger viewers that the leprechauns appearing in the film were not merely normal-sized actors made small via special effects, but instead the genuine article. As part of this delightful deception, the weekly Walt Disney Presents TV anthology offered an episode in which Walt Disney explained how he personally persuaded the King of the Leprechauns to appear in his film. It all begins when actor Pat O'Brien, returning from a trip to Ireland, regales Walt Disney with stories of the "little people" of the Emerald Isle. Banking on the fact that he is himself half-Irish, Walt travels to Old Erin to see for himself. After conferring with a local "shanachie," or storyteller (played by Darby O'Gill's titular star Albert Sharpe), Disney is granted an audience with his majesty himself, King Brian (Jimmy O'Dea) -- who has quite a healthy ego for one so tiny. This episode expertly blends new footage with previews from the upcoming film, which among other actors features a young Sean Connery (who was so obscure a performer at the time that he isn't even billed in the TV Guide listings!) While the actual Darby O'Gill scenes were directed by Robert Stevenson, the new transitional scenes were helmed by Harry Keller -- who after handling retakes of Orson Welles' Touch of Evil had no trouble seamlessly matching Stevenson's distinctive style. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Baby boomers who may not remember the plot particulars of Walt Disney's Darby O'Gill and the Little People nonetheless retain fond memories of Disney's publicity campaign, which included an episode of the producer's weekly TV series, wherein the actor playing leprechaun king Brian (Jimmy O'Dea) was passed off as a genuine little person. One look at Darby O'Gill itself and one is willing to believe Disney's subterfuge. The story, based on the writings of H.T. Kavanagh, involves one Darby O'Gill (Albert Sharpe) an Irish tall-tale spinner who works as a caretaker. On the night that he is replaced by a younger man (Sean Connery), Darby heads home to tell his daughter Katie (Janet Munro) that he has lost his job. En route, he stumbles into the underground leprechaun kingdom, thanks to the intervention of King Brian, who wants to save Darby the shame of telling his daughter about his job. Advised that he will never be able to leave the land of the leprechauns, Darby escapes, and Brian follows. Because he stays above ground until dawn, Brian loses his powers and becomes the property of Darby, who won't let the leprechaun go until he grants three wishes. Brian tricks Darby out of the first two wishes, but is honor-bound to grant the third: that Darby's daughter Katie be wed to the handsome new caretaker. Before this can happen, Katie is seriously injured. As she lies comatose, the Death Coach descends from the sky to gather her to the heavens. Darby rapidly alters his third wish and begs that he be taken in Katie's place. Brian saves Darby's life by tricking him into making a fourth wish, which immediately cancels the first three. The young caretaker wins Katie on his own merits, and Darby has a whole new slew of stories with which to regale the villagers. The principal drawing card of Darby O'Gill and the Little People is its special effects, the most famous of which finds a life-sized Darby O'Gill fiddling away as hundreds of tiny leprechauns dance about him. Even in this era of computerized "F/X," few films have been able to duplicate the sublimely convincing visual magic -- and the effortless charm -- of this 1959 Disney effort. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Canadian tug captain David Ross (William Holden) and his British counterpart Chris Ford (Trevor Howard) pay a visit to Ford's lady friend Stella (Sophia Loren). Before the men leave, Ford is handed Stella's apartment key. It turns out that this key is harbinger of death; it has previously been held by Stella's former lovers, all tug captains, all dead. When Ford is killed in combat, Tennant comes into possession of the key, returning to Stella to commence a torrid love affair. However, she is unable to fall in love with Tennant, sensing that his demise is imminent. Eventually, she does fall for him, vowing that if he survives the war, she will never pass her key along to any other man. As a result, Tennant begins exhibiting hesitance in battle, as if determined to break the "jinx" at the expense of his fellow seamen.

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs [Blu-Ray]
Director : Phil Lord & Chris Miller
Screenplay : Phil Lord & Chris Miller (based on the book by Judi Barrett and Ron Barrett)
MPAA Rating : PG
Year of Release : 2009
Much like Robert Zemeckis's The Polar Express (2004) and Spike Jonze's Where the Wild Things Are (2009), Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs takes a relatively simple children's book and expands it into a massive action-adventure juggernaut, although thankfully the CGI animation sticks to the cartoonish when rendering its characters. These films are not so much adaptations as they are expansions, taking a basic premise that neatly fills a slim volume best read at bedtime and inflating it with additional characters, subplots, and, most important of all, special effects (and, in its theatrical release, 3-D rendered by Sony's impressive new software). That is essentially the approach taken by Cloudy's writer/director team of Phil Lord and Chris Miller (making their feature-film debut) in their ambitious expansion of Judi and Ron Barrett's 1978 book about the town of Chewandswallow and how it is beset with food raining from the sky.
The movie's explanation for this strange phenomenon is one Flint Lockwood (Bill Hader), an aspiring inventor whose contraptions routinely end in disaster. Constantly locked away in a towering, self-made laboratory in his father's (James Caan) backyard, Flint has come up with such doozies as spray-on shoes (too bad they don't come off) and a translator that allows his moustache-obsessed pet monkey Steve (Neil Patrick Harris) to express his minimal thoughts in English (example: "lick ... lick ... lick"). Flint's latest contraption is a device that uses radiation to turn water into any kind of food he wants, but it doesn't have quite enough power to work. He solves that problem by plugging it directly into the local power station, which results in an explosive catastrophe that is badly timed with his small island town's unveiling of Sardineland, a sardine-themed amusement park that the ambitious mayor (Bruce Campbell) hopes will save the island from financial ruin.
Flint's machine is launched into the stratosphere where it interacts with a cloud system and creates a rainfall of hamburgers, which excites the town to no end and fills the mayor's head with visions of tourism and money. Thus, Flint is tasked to use his invention to ensure literal manna from the sky three times a day at the townspeople's request, and any food that isn't eaten is launched into a huge pile just outside of town. All of this is being covered by Sam Sparks (Anna Faris), a plucky meteorological intern who happens to be in the right place at the right time and also provides a convenient romantic interest for the otherwise introverted Flint. Problems arise, however, when the invention starts to spin out of control, producing larger and larger food that threatens to destroy the town with spaghetti twisters, massive pancakes, and, of course, giant meatballs.
Not surprisingly, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs has a fast and furious pace that bears little resemblance to the easier pleasures of the book, although that is not to say that the film itself is lacking in pleasure. Rather, Lord and Miller have crafted a movie that is funny and at times wonderfully weird, and even has a few meaningful things to say about the nature of greed (literalized in the mayor's gluttonous growth in size), the inanity of faded celebrity (hence Andy Samburg's perpetually adolescent "Baby" Brent, whose claim to fame was posing in a sardine ad as a tyke), and the dangers inherent in trying to fit in (which we see in both Sam's denial of her own intelligence to escape the "nerd" label and Flint eventually endangering the town because he doesn't want to disappoint anyone). There is also, of course, the requisite family dynamic, with Flint trying to gain his gruff but loving father's approval.
Lord and Miller have particular fun punching up the film's various montages by having Flint briskly and enthusiastically narrating his own actions, which both mocks the cinematic cliché and also underscores how Flint spends way too much time alone. The film's real treat, though, is its outrageous visual design, which detours deep into the surreal during the climax when Flint and company fly directly into a food storm and find themselves stranded in a gastronomic netherworld high in the sky that includes such dangers as a peanut-brittle-spiked tunnel and an army of headless chickens (did I mention that the food becomes sentient?). The final third of the story plays as an amusing parody of Roland Emmerich-style disaster movies (Flint's solution to shutting down his invention is taken directly from 1996's Independence Day ... minus a Macbook). It doesn't always make a lot of sense, but it certainly provides a feast for the eyeballs.

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs looks superb in its 1080p/AVC-encoded high-definition presentation on this Blu-Ray disc. While it is not presented in 3-D as it was in theaters, the quality of the digital image nevertheless gives it a real sense of depth and dimensionality. The image is bright and clear with precise detail that brings out all the tiniest nuances, from the texture of clothing to the uniquely slimy and gross sheen of a sardine. Colors are expertly rendered, whether they be the dour gray of Swallow Falls before Flint's invention or the shiny pastel hues of his ice cream snowfall. The lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround soundtrack is also fantastic, with great sonic detail and directionality and a clean low end. Make no mistake, this is an extremely active surround soundtrack, especially when all hell starts breaking loose at the end. The spaghetti tornado is a perfect show-off sequence for your home theater system both visually and aurally. | |
The supplements provide a nice mix between the fun and the informative. The screen-specific audio commentary by directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller and actor Bill Hader was clearly fun to record, as they have a great rapport that keeps the commentary lively and entertaining without sacrificing its informative qualities. There are also several featurettes about the making of the film, including "A Recipe for Success: The Making of Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs," which provides a general overview of the film's production and includes interviews with most of the film's collaborators, and "Key Ingredients: The Voices of Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs," which focuses on the film's impressive voice talent and includes interviews with Hader, Anna Farris, James Caan, Andy Samburg, Bruce Campbell, and, of course, Mr. T. Those who are especially interested in the technological side of things will enjoy the half-dozen progression reels with introductions by visual effects supervisor Rob Bredow, who shows us step by step how various shots were put together. There are also two extended scenes and two storyboarded scenes, Miranda Cosgrove's "Raining Sunshine" music video and interactive sing-a-long, and a behind-the-scenes featurette on the making of the video. For pure, ridiculous fun, the disc also includes "Flint's Food Fight" game and, my personal favorite, the interactive "Splat Mode!," which allows you to use your remote to throw various food items (pies, fried eggs, etc.) at the screen while watching the movie--a great way to unwind after a tough day. |

The Vault: Trey Canard
Friday, November 30, 2012 | 2:30 PMAfter a few trips into the Vault tracking some older riders (David Vuillemin, Jean-Michael Bayle and Chad Reed) we're turning our attention this week to a younger buck named Trey Canard. And since Trey grew up racing in the U.S., we've also tracked him through the Loretta Lynn's Vault.
Want to look up someone else? Go here for the Loretta's Vault and here for the Pro Vault.
Once again Jason Weigandt and Steve Matthes weigh in on the big moments.
2006 Loretta Lynn's 125 B Mod – 1st
Weege: Up until this point, Canard was a good amateur, often producing top five or podium rides, but getting overshadowed by perennial champions like Austin Stroupe and Nico Izzi. But 2006 marked his breakthrough year, as he landed both championships in his B classes.
Canard's win over Kyle Cunningham for this 125 B Mod title was only part of the story. His real comp was expected to come from fellow Team Green rider Stroupe, and Canard came out on top in their first moto battle. That was the confidence boost Canard needed to dominate the rest of the week. That moto really changed his career, in my opinion.
Matthes: First off, who knew we had a Vault for Loretta Lynn's? That's my first question. I'm glad we do and once again thank you to these brave souls for compiling all this crap. And my second point, who cares about Canard's results from amateurs?
Results from Loretta Lynn's 2006.
2007 Loretta's MX Lites A – 1stWeege: After his stellar 2006 in the B ranks, Factory Connection Honda signed Trey as their first amateur recruit, and he delivered all season. A Loretta's showdown against old rivals Stroupe and Izzi was looming, and the battles were incredible. Canard came out on top in both of his classes that year, earning the AMA Horizon Award.
Matthes: I have nothing to add to this. Go ask Wes Williams and Brent Stallo from Vurbmoto what they think. They like amateur stuff.
Canard made quite the SX debut in Atlanta in 2008.

Results from Loretta Lynn's 2007.
2007 Spring Creek MX Lites National – 8th
Weege: Trey's pro debut. He crashed out of moto one at Millville and tweaked his shoulder, but miraculously returned to the gate for moto two. Then he pulled the holeshot and led! He finished an impressive fourth in the moto—but his rookie success was just beginning.
Matthes: This Canard guy doesn't seem to be the real deal, he can't even finish two motos! Anyone can get lucky, holeshot and lead the moto for a while. Oh wait … guess this kid is for real. But seriously folks, just by being selected to ride for GEICO right out of amateur's should tell us he's legit. I was there that day and this was the summer of RV and Townley with a bit of Metcalfe sprinkled in. No one else was even close. Good work by Trey to get fourth.
Results from Spring Creek 2007.
2008 Atlanta/Indy/Daytona SX Lites -1st
Weege: What a supercross debut! Trey wins big while Josh Grant and Ryan Villopoto crash into each other. Suddenly the rookie has a race win and a points lead over the favorites. Then he wins again in Indy when Villopoto hooks a tuff block in a battle for the lead, and wins again in the all-time epic Daytona '08 rain race. If Trey had just retired three races into his professional supercross career, he'd have retired undefeated.
Matthes: Ah, he got lucky at the first round when the heavy hitters has problems. Wait, he won the next one also? And then in the crazy-ass mudder that was Daytona the kid went out and did it again? Oh wow, he might just be really, really good.
2008 St. Louis SX Lites – 1stWeege: This was a shot heard 'round the world. Villopoto clawed back into 250SX East title contention, setting up a winner-take-all showdown at the St. Louis finale. They battled, Villopoto took the lead, and then Canard retaliated by riding the ragged edge down the inside of a corner—they collided, Villopoto was plowed into the finish line scaffolding, and Canard went onto win the championship in his rookie season. This was high drama!
Matthes: The pressure was on the rookie. If you go back into a time machine and ask the pit insiders who was going to take the title this night, most of them would have gone with RV. But instead, in a great race, Canard did what he had to do (and I really think to this day that this was just a racing incident). It was an amazing season and because of this move, to this day, Villopoto and Canard have a bit of a frosty relationship.
Weege: I've heard that Trey was just as upset as he was happy after the race, because he didn't want to be seen as a dirty rider. C'mon, when you win the title you should be nothing but, um, what's that term? Yeah, 200 percent happy. 200 percent! Ah, I remember it like it was yesterday.
2008 Washougal MX Lites National – 23rd
Weege: Ouch. Canard's first full outdoor tour didn't start that well, but he found his groove at mid-season and started battling for podiums. He led Villopoto and Ryan Dungey for most of the second moto at Washougal, and looked set for a third-place finish until he tangled with a lapper in the waning moments. He broke his femur, and with that, his rookie season was over. The femur break also gave him a late start on the 2009 SX season, as injuries to other GEICO Honda riders forced him into the West Region. He wasn't quite ready, and he was only able to deliver one SX win all season.
Matthes: Bad deal for Trey and this break would come to haunt him later on as we know now. Scanning these race results I see a Justin Brayton on an MDK KTM250F going 23-36. What happened to JB? One spot below him is the pride of Canada Kyle Beaton. That's all I got.
2009 High Point 250 National – 10th
Weege: Trey battled for his first-ever National Motocross victory at High Point. Late in the second moto, while leading Christophe Pourcel and Ryan Dungey in a torrid battle, Canard caught a kicker and endoed on a big jump. He broke his wrist and that ended his '09 season.
Matthes: This was a heartbreak for Trey as he looked to be on the leader's pace for the first time all year and after Trey was hauled off in the ambulance, Pourcel mentioned that he was out of control and that was why he crashed. Once again, stay classy, Christophe.
Canard's 2009 season would end early at High Point.

2010 Atlanta 450 Supercross - 2nd
Weege: While battling Jake Weimer for the 2010 West 250SX title, Team Honda placed Trey on Andrew Short's CRF450R for the eastern races. He crashed out of his 450 SX debut at Indy, but holy crap did he come back in impressive fashion the next week in Atlanta, taking second. It kicked off an impressive run of five-straight podiums on the big bike.
Matthes: I remember the week before Trey pulled a massively dork loop-out while going up a dragon back and all of us wondered what Honda was thinking. But then one week later he figured it out big-time and was so impressive that you worried about how he would react jumping back down to the 250. We now have a name for that disease, it's called "Elitomac-itis".
2010 Seattle SX Lites -11th
Weege: When West 250SX returned in Seattle, Canard and Weimer were going toe-to-toe for the title. But in the second turn of the main event, Canard was actually taken down by his then-teammate Blake Wharton (it was an accident!) From last, he could only recover for 11th, and Weimer's third essentially decided the title. Also, Steve Cox interviewed Wharton a few days later for this website, and basically asked: "Blake, what were you thinking!?" in 30 different ways. He was just ruining him! I was waiting for Cox to say, "Blake, you're grounded. Go to your room." I guess you could say he was asking him the hard questions?
Matthes: "Dear Blake Wharton, I've got this, I don't need the help. Thanks though, Trey"
2010 RedBud 250 National-1st
Weege: The epic comeback begins. After a lackluster start to the 250 MX campaign, Trey puts in two solid motos at Thunder Valley in Colorado, then wins RedBud with 4-1 scores (when he crossed the line with the second-moto win, he didn't even realize he had won the overall). Suddenly Canard goes to another level and wins four overalls in a row
Matthes: Dear Weege, The Tim Ferry didn't start working with Trey until 2010 which is, you know, the year he won the 250MX title. I was just talking to Trey about this race the other day and this is really where the momentum started for him. He sort of came out of nowhere to dominate the second moto and it gave him some confidence that he can indeed win. Up until this point he had been good, but a tick off of Pourcel's pace. After this, with Ferry by his side, Canard started racking up the wins.
2010 Steel City 250 National – 1stWeege: Pourcel had the 2010 250 MX title seemingly in the bag at the Pala finale until he crashed and busted his shoulder. But Canard's win the week before at Steel City prevents anyone from saying Trey lucked into the championship. At Steel City, he and Pourcel went wheel-to-wheel in both motos, and Canard came out on top both times. It was clutch, championship-level stuff to the highest degree.
Matthes: And Canard on the podium told the ignorant fans to stop booing Pourcel which was even cooler. I remember thinking that Christophe appeared to let Trey get away in the second half of the motos and wondering if that was the smart thing to do. Trey and CP were both so great this day as they decimated the field.
In 2010, a win at Steel City helped push Canard to the championship.
Simon Cudby photo
Weege: Trey was fast right from the start of his rookie 450 Supercross season, and then in a wild race in Houston, he bested Ryan Dungey for the win by about a wheel length. He also won in Jacksonville and was right in championship contention until another femur injury ended it early.
Matthes: Big night for the sport, as the first corner claimed a ton of guys, and Kevin Windham appeared to be on his way to the win when he went down huge. Trey was there for his first ever supercross win in the 450 class. It all seemed so easy for the #41 as his ridiculous scrubs and whoop speed were just plain better than everyone else.
2011 Spring Creek 450 National – 3rdWeege: This was the race where Chad Reed famously "Chadapulted" while leading the second 450 moto. Well, it was also Canard's first-ever 450 MX National and he finished a solid third. Unfortunately, he'd break his femur again the next week while running up from at Washougal. Since then, a variety of other injuries have mostly kept Trey on the sidelines, but he'll be back to try to make more history starting at Anaheim this January.
Matthes: All the other riders should be so lucky to come back after months off and make the podium in their first outdoor race back. Lost in the championship drama and Reed's crash was Canard's solid ride but alas, it would only last for a week. See you at Anaheim!

I hope he can stay healthy...GO TC
I know alot of folks on here are not Dean Wilson fans. I first hand have seen the work the kid is putting in and I think he will be tougher than people think. Just an observation. So keep the smart shit to a minimum. I like the fact he took the nessesary time to heal and come back,most do not and thats when things are compounded when you are behind in your program and trying to jump in at full speed ... Good day all !
Trey has had more than his share of bad luck, now it is time to shake that off, go forward and be the best rider he can be. Trey needs to play it cool the first half of the season, find some Comfort and Confidence, then come on strong towards the end of the season. Canard has the talent and speed, used wisely, it should have him in the top 5 at most rounds.Trey could even win a couple of races, if lady luck leans his way....All the best to one of the Good Guys!!!!!
MrMx...Glad to see your off the disabled list and back to the keyboard, nice to have ya back!!
Hope he observed how Josh Grant came back..top 10, top 5, and comes back healthy, riding smart. Get em' Trey! The way he stayed tuff and ended up besting Pourcell, he'll do it again in time.
I dont know about all that DL stuff ... Cant make out the picture is that you and Guy Coopers bike or is that a new 2 stroke LOL Enjoy off to the races
i hope trey doesnt come out swingin going for wins the first couple rounds. We all know he has the speed to be right there with dungey and RV and reed. man i hope he stays healthy.
Canard can FLAT HAUL and is not scared to mix it up.....and he will be in the mix....he has what it takes to win......just keep that thing on its wheels and he will be trouble..........i love his riding style...Best of luck Duck......
Canard is a Top Goon-rider too. Search "canard goon riding" on youtube, He's hilarious.
Master goon rider.....lol
It is impossible to not like Trey's ethos. He wears his heart on his sleeve, and races with his heart on his front fender. He has pretty much everything you need to be a championship contender, as follows:
Short skinny kid - check
Freckles and red hair - check
Factory bike / big semi - check
Bunch of amateur titles - check
250SX title - check
250MX title - check
Past 450f race winner - check
Yep, he is blue chip material - that is for sure.
He should retire now------before he ends up hurt really bad!!!---he has the money for his true calling-----helping others!!!!!!!!

Last year, more than 100 students, staff and faculty members donated hundreds of volunteer hours to help area nonprofits located near our four campuses. This year, members of the CCRI community donated their time and talents to eight nonprofits at seven locations across the state.
The work options were many and included landscaping and yard work; painting and cleaning; organizing donations; and more. All volunteers will received a box lunch at noon and a commemorative T-shirt.
CCRI President Ray Di Pasquale overwhelmingly supports the day of service and employees are not be required to take any personal or vacation time to volunteer for this community project. However, students need to get the permission of their individual faculty instructors and faculty and staff must seek permission from department chairs or department managers.

I am having surgery in a week and a half to repair a labral tear in my hip. Is there anything I can take to prepare my body and also to help it recover? I never take any medications, so this will be new to be taking "drugs."
Thank you!

Homeopathic arnica will help keep bruising down, vitamin C (or lots of green smoothies with lemon peel and citrus fruits, etc) will keep tissue young, vibrant, and repairing itself.
Homeopathic staphysagria is the best homeopathic to prepare for and recover from surgery. HTH

Should I take the antibiotics they give me or go with the more natural approach?
RobynView February 22, 2010
No one is likely to tell you to forego drugs as there are plenty of agencies ready to jump on anyone who would dare do that.
If you do take the antibiotics, eat kefir/yogurt or take probiotics very diligently for at least 30 days afterward!

It's standard medical procedure to give a dose of anti-bitoics via your IV during surgery. Doctors do this as a precaution against infection and becasue surgery is so tramatic for the body, it's to help boos the immune system and encourage healing. I would talk to your doctor about your concerns (don't be surprised by a strong negative reaction) perhaps they will allow you to forgo them if you feel that strongly. (Not likely) I have several friends who have also used homeopathic treatment in addition to standard medicine. I would consult a naturalpathic doctor like Dr. Jones-Farley in Lehi. She's an MD who also uses homeopathy and natural medicine along with some western medicine. Your keifer and enzymes will also help with constipation which is another unpleasant side effects of the narcotics (pain meds) and anestesia (sp) Wishing you a speedy recovery!
AnonymousView February 23, 2010
Thank you everybody! I am, unfortunately, in Tennessee, so naturalpathic doctors are harder to come by.

I just had my 6th c-section (pelvic deformity, resulting from getting hit by a car, that didn't resolve with chiropractic care or OFP) and I can attest to the green smoothies helping. Green smoothies will give you the necessary vitamin C to fight infection, iron to help your blood count after blood loss, and vitamin K to help with clotting. Another thing I did was to take probiotics and garlic capsules every day for a month leading up to surgery. I also took cranberry capsules to help with bladder tone but you probably aren't concerned about that with your surgery. I was concerned about bladder injury during surgery and infection from the catheter I had to keep in for hours after surgery.

Hip Hop Genius: The Power of Nothing
Posted by johnrinker in Uncategorized, tags: burma, drawalong, genius, hip hop, innovation, michael mccarthy, resourceful, sam seidelSeveral weeks ago I wrote a post 'One Person's Trash…' about the resourcefulness of the resourceless here in Burma. I made the silly claim that developed countries like the US couldn't hold a candle to the Burmese when it comes to ingenuity in the face of want. How wrong was I?
Yesterday I came across Sam Seidel's Hip Hop Genius where he presents a brilliant 'essay' about how America's urban environments offer a kind of adversity different than I find here in Burma, but the results are the same: "a creative resourcefulness in the face of limited resources." Sam calls this 'Hip Hop Genius', and because of it the poor, urban environments of America are fertile ground for bold innovation in music, dance, art, film, photography…you name it. That Hip Hop culture has become a 'global phenomenon' is testament to the power of its genius.
As a teacher, what's particularly striking about Sam's polished, heartfelt essay is the challenge he throws down for educators to customize learning for our students like they are doing at the High School for Recording Arts in Minnesota. Equally captivating is the way in which Sam presents his essay. Michael McCathy's DRAWNALONG is such a fresh approach that I can't help but wonder what new power my students would find in writing essays given the chance to present them in this way, or in some other inventive manner. Most certainly it would encourage them to collaborate. I like this. For sure they would need to draw on their creative instincts. This is always good. And finally, they would communicate their ideas in ways that…who knows?…others will feel compelled to build on in bold, innovative ways. Now that's fresh!

Can Glowing Mice Save Us From Cancer?
By Nicole Campbell and Frank Stasio
Would you believe us if we told you that glowing mice might be the next step in saving human beings from cancer? Well, Ned Sharpless and his research team are trying to see if that very thing is possible. They have been injecting mice with the enzyme that makes fireflies glow in an effort to improve cancer treatment and detection.
Sharpless joins host Frank Stasio to discuss new breakthroughs in cancer and aging research. Ned Sharpless is a professor of medicine and genetics at the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, and the deputy cancer center director at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
