Hooked: Maison Martin Margiela

Maison Margiela's eyewear debut, L’Incognito, brought you sleek anonymity with its black-barred face redaction. Now the Maison brings you the Mono Lens, a highly evolved descendant of the classic aviator—or, perhaps more accurately, a car windshield you can strap to your face. The ultimate in retro futurism by way of Dada playfulness, the latest model also manages to reflect fall's armored mood, in its own perverse way. $495 at Oki-Ni, available in amber or gray.

While rumors are brewing that Haider Ackermann may be Martin Margiela's successor, sources close to the elusive Belgian insist that this is one of his elaborate hoaxes. Whatever the case, we hear the incognito king was at the Los Angeles boutique not long ago waiting on unsuspecting costumers.

The grapevine also has it that Jean Paul Gaultier’s upcoming Hermès show may be his last. Though unconfirmed, you'd be well-advised to stock up on cheeky equestrian looks, just in case. [Fashion Week Daily]

Apparently Zoolander isn't enough to dissuade models from pursing the slash-actress title. Irina Lazareanu and Agyness Deyn are both heading to a multiplex near you. As a last warning, we refer you to Cindy Crawford's infamous debut. [Grazia]

Hint Tip: Gotscho

In this era of conglomerate-sponsored art, French artist Gotscho is that rare breed, a stylish loose cannon whose take on fashion consumption has a decidedly sinister tinge. Gotscho has been putting clothes center stage in his installations since the 90s, through collaborations with Maison Martin Margiela, Yohji Yamamoto and Comme des Garçons, to name a few.

For this month's Carré Rive Gauche, an annual group show of 120 galleries (antiques and fine art) on Paris's Left Bank, gallerist Eric Allart turned his space over to Gotscho to show his dark and mysterious "Ladies First" series (through June 19). In one piece, fragments of silk slip through fitting-room doors as though the customer has dematerialized through the looking glass like a repentant shopaholic desperate to get out. Nearby, a silver rolling rack sports a dozen seemingly banal garment bags with a row of identical black pumps ready for transport, one atop the other. It's only on closer inspection that you find the bags have an embroidered burkha slit at eye level, and the shoes are fused together in a permanent state of travel readiness.

Which begs the question: does Gotscho love or hate la mode? "I'm on both sides. I'm eternally attracted yet always looking for an escape," he says. "I was shocked the first time I saw a woman wearing a burkha. I didn't understand how it was possible, but I wanted to say something about it diplomatically. A garment bag is for travel and shoes are for walking, so both are about movement. What you have here is the possibility of movement, but the reality of immobility."

For the upcoming couture shows in Paris, Bruno Frisoni, artistic director of French shoe house Roger Vivier, will unveil his own pair of Gotschoesque-fused footwear, for those who prefer to look at stilettos than wear them.

    Hooked: Ruby & Maison Martin Margiela

    Leave it to the French to transform a dowdy safety precaution, the bike helmet, into a coveted accessory. Since 1996, Ruby has been keeping fashionable noggins cozy and cushioned with its slick line of Jet Helmets. Now the culprit behind dreaded helmet hair has been reinvented into a vision straight out of Speed Racer (the original, not the crappy remake), with the added bonus that it can withstand a high-impact collision. Can you say that about your Speedy bag or gladiator sandals?

    For its latest venture, Ruby has enlisted the help of Maison Maison Margiela, which is apparently feeling extra frisky in the wake of its twentieth anniversary celebration. The result is a limited-edition carbon shell painted in Margiela's inimitable Meudon White (that familiar white coat over boots, jeans, jackets, etc. that you've doled out big bucks for), which Margiela and his studio elves at rue St. Maur have scribbled with their tiny signatures for a sublime graffiti effect. The Ruby & Maison Martin Margiela helmet promises to make your flash down the road that much more dashing. Limited to 600, available in Paris at Colette.

    Paris Men's Week: Maison Martin Margiela

    By Rebecca Voight...

    It has to be said: Martin Margiela is so full of great ideas, it's almost painful to watch. The first pain was just getting all the way to the show venue, La Maison de Métallos. The Paris cultural center is located way, way out in Paris's bohemian 11th arrondissement, which, despite the hike, is turning into a primo spot for groundbreaking fashion shows—yesterday it hosted Romain Kremer and Julius. Equipped with flashlights, Margiela's white labcoats led the audience, convened in small groups, into the theater, and there we stood as MMMs men’s collection appeared in a series of police line-ups in a narrow, glass-enclosed space. As usual, Margiela presents real clothes for men, not fashion statements.

    But what seems banal at a glance is finely styled, down to the "wine stain" print shirts and “after-party” coats. As each unusual suspect came forward, one of those twangy, insincere American telemarketing voices boomed out what they were wearing. Within minutes I was laughing out loud, and it didn’t take long for the rest of the audience to lose it as well. Some of us laughed so hard we cried. Like I said, Margiela is painfully good. This season's Incognito aviator glasses, limited-edition python shoes, suede Postcard Holder vest and jeans with a subtle “rained on” look, via print and resin applications, are sterling examples of late '70s trashy dressing, as interpreted by a tongue-in-cheek maestro.

    Paris Fashion Week: Maison Martin Margiela

    Haidee Findlay-Levin...

    When I read the article in the Herald Tribune the morning of Martin Margiela's 20th anniversary show, that this might be his last and that he was looking for a successor, I considered my own resignation from fashion. Although my departure wouldn't be nearly as dramatic or significant, if someone as inspired and inspiring as Margiela had nothing left to say, I found it hard to imagine carrying on.

    After all, how can one individual—although he only refers collectively to his Maison—come up with so many original ideas twice yearly? He is a fish that swims upstream, one of the few designers who always does things his way, whether the rest of the industry comes around to his way of thinking or not, right down to his AIDS charity T-shirt that he consistently sells even if the fight against AIDS itself has slipped out of fashion.

    Even the setting of his shows have set precedents. He has shown in the back of a pub, on buses, in dilapidated buildings and on top of tables in a dance hall. Perhaps the most genius of all was the simultaneous staging of a show in several countries, requiring no travel at all as we simultaneously witnessed the same experience. His idea long preceded live internet simulcasts.

    I remember my introduction to his clothes, that blank white label and its curious four white stitches. On one of my first fashion trips to Paris, I saw a series of clothes in a store—it might have been L’Eclaireur on Rue Rossier—and I loved each and every piece. But they had no name, no identity; they were completely anonymous. From that point on I not only used Margiela for styling jobs, but also consistently bought and wore that white label, even when friends had grown tired of his anti-aesthetic.

    I was drawn not only to the intelligence of the clothes, but to Margiela's humor and sense of irony. I also identified with the dark side of his work, which, while often macabre, can also be witty and silly. Margiela is one of the few designers who works through a concept over two seasons, sometimes even three, until he has completely explored and developed the idea, often revisiting it at an even later date. At his 10th anniversary show he presented exact pieces from the previous decade, but re-dyed them in a single color, showing the longevity of their design and how an old idea can be repackaged as new. Despite all his influence—acknowledged by Rei Kawakubo, Junya Watanabe, Yohji Yamamoto and Marc Jacobs among others—his clothes are so ahead of the game that they remain essentially timeless.

    Now looking back at two decades, this latest show began with a single large shadow cast over the runway and then opened with a singe girl in a white lab coat dress, followed by a series of looks that entered from both sides of the runway. A screen-printed scarf dress referred to his screen-printing collection, with its sequin dresses and knit sweaters that had been screened onto silk tank dresses. This time it was like a carbon rubbing on jeans and an oversized jean jacket.

    Accessories were as clever as ever, including shoes that were either too large or small, with a heel falling short of the foot or the strap extended well past the ankle but held in place with elastic. A red bag evolved and eventually draped right over the bodysuit like a cape. Newest to his repertoire is fine jewelry, which appeared as an oversized link chain on a model whose head peeked out of an oversized velvet jewelry box as the rest of the body fell out of the spotlight.

    As usual the models remained anonymous, in bodysuits and masks. There is nothing misogynistic here, just that the clothes should speak for themselves. Playing with this concept, sometimes he put a dark-skinned girl in a huge blonde afro and a white girl in a huge black afro, both of which completely covered the face. Margiela has always had a love for hair and wigs, creating vests and jackets out of the inside netting of wigs, as well as fur hats in the shape of mullets. This time wigs not only hid the face of the girls, but also cascaded as full capes.

    All birthday parties deserve a party dress and cake, and Margiela closed his show with two enormous party dresses, taking his familiar play on oversized volumes to extremes. Then a huge screen-printed garment in the shape of a tiered cake walked down the runway with the legs of two girls peeking out. When the curtain rose, Margiela was, as usual, nowhere to be seen as large silver confetti (oversized, of course) fell from above, models took their finale walk (this time with faces exposed) with the Maison team (in their customary white lab coats) and even a brass band took to the runway.

    Happy Birthday, Martin! Here's to many more.

    Paris Fashion Week: Maison Martin Margiela

    Laurent Dombrowicz...

    The man without a face but with the famous white-stitched label founded his "Maison" twenty years ago. In two decades, he and his label changed fashion in such a drastic and deep way that most young designers today describe themselves as his children. And what a birthday it was for the iconic Maison Martin Margiela on Monday; The spring show was a celebration of extreme creativity without pretension. Who else is able to present skin-tone padded overalls, a plastic-bag one-piece or wigs as a fur coat? We only hope MMM—with sunglasses and jewelry already on the market, and soon perfume—resists the need for the global domination required of its parent company, Diesel. Or, at least, it should get there in his own way. Meanwhile, we hope the Belgian will continue directing the surreal image of his namesake label. That way, trompe l’oeil, among many other triumphs, will continue to be the ticket to exciting trips to nowhere. And we love this place...

    Hint Tip: Maison Martin Margiela

    From Maison Martin Margiela...

    When Fashion Met Music Videos

    Dean Mayo Davies on the perfect harmony...

    Fashion and music have had a powerful, symbiotic relationship ever since the advent of the rebel in the 50s, when wannabe James Deans could throw on a white tee, leather jacket and immerse themselves in the newly created rock & roll lifestyle. Every subculture since—Teds, Mods—has forged itself from the meld of a unifying philosophy and a fabricated identity. After all, every army needs a uniform. In the 70s, Westwood, McLaren and the Sex Pistols collided in the ultimate blow-up of youth culture, and introduced (anti-)branding to the equation. Of course, today's tribes—bubblers, moshers, indie kids, ravers et al—have the music video, where their creations can remain as untouchable, intangible, beguiling, provocative and sexy as ever. And fashion labels haven't been slow to see the potential...

    1. The Kills: Last Day Of Magic

    This is the forthcoming release from the London-based, chain-smoking vegans VV (aka Alison Mosshart) and Hotel (aka Jamie Hince—yes, Mr. Kate Moss, in yet another link to fashion). Jamie has explained that the vengeful lyrics are about "being in a place and wanting someone who has abandoned you to be there." Thus, the setting, naturally, is Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment. Obsessives will note that Alison rocks her well-worn gold Dior Homme boots from fall/winter 05, which may or may not be the reason Jamie is fighting with her (who wouldn’t commit a little bodily harm for to get their hands on those?). In a brainy blur of leopard print, literature, black, scarves, art, tailoring and drainpipe jeans, the duo's myth is built with this video. The most alluring band in the world today, surely.

    2. Róisín Murphy: Let Me Know

    Róisín continues her persona as post-Saturday Night Fever street diva in this track from last year's Overpowered LP, strutting into a greasy-spoon cafe in a Margiela square-shouldered cape, Corto Moteldo bag and flying-saucer hat. The genius of Róisín's creative direction is the juxtaposition of a cartoonish surrealism with a more mundane daily existence, creating a tension that doesn't take itself too seriously. You'll remember her previous video featured her on the night bus wearing a Gareth Pugh foil coat with inflatable collar, while her latest video, Movie Star, is set to feature Richard Mortimer, of BoomBox fame, and performance artist Scottee.

    3. Sonic Youth: Sugar Kane

    Sonic Youth played at Marc Jacobs' fall 08 show, a true fashion moment for those who were there. They banged out Jams Run Free and Kool Thing, but it's not the first time these old friends have collaborated, not even close. Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore posed in 2003 for a Juergen Teller-shot Marc Jacobs campaign, but way back in 1993 they set their Sugar Kane video in Marc's showroom, featuring his notorious Grunge collection for Perry Ellis, the stuff of fashion folklore. The clip also marks Chloë Sevigny's first appearance on film.

    You may not think it, given his penchant for pristine white spaces, but Martin Margiela loves fragrance. To prove it, he just inked a deal (using the very quill pen in this image) with L'Oréal to create a line of unconventional perfumes for fall 2009. Watch this pristine white space.

    The third and last part of Haidee Findlay-Levin's tips for fall...

    It wasn't just the army of beautiful lips and bowl cuts that made our hearts leap at Yves Saint Laurent; it was the sharp, powerful, 80s-reminiscent tailoring, too. But here's what separates this season’s YSL and Louis Vuitton from Claude Montana and Gianfranco Ferré: the circular cutting and the curves in the jackets and skirts. In fact, some of the tulip and pod shapes we have seen at Vuitton and elsewhere this season are more Sebilla and Romeo Gigli—also from the 80s. I also noticed a variety of peplum jackets for fall. If the jacket was fitted, for the most part it had a sharp shoulder and a nipped or peplum waist, not only at Vuitton, but also at Yohji Yamamoto (left), where the peplum jutted out over long full skirts complete with a donut-rolled waist for an even fuller hip effect.

    The shoulder was the focus last season. Now it's the sleeve, such as those at Costume National that wrapped around the shoulder blade and formed a pod in the back, or those at Kenzo that draped into a cocoon shape or an origami-like envelope. We also saw sleeves originating from the neckline, as well as sleeves that separate at the back of the jacket, falling into a detached cape back, as at Véronique Branquinho and Junya Watanabe. At Lanvin, attention was paid to a single mutton sleeve—a remnant of the 80s!

    Some designers chose to embellish areas of essentially monochromatic fabrics with jet beading, feathers, ribbon, fine pleating, ruffles and pasmanterie. But there was nothing superfluous at Prada (left), where the most startling form of decoration was the heavy tablecloth lace constructed into minimal and austere silhouettes, and made further monastic by the under-layering of high-collared shirts.

    The strength in Dries Van Noten this season came not only from the mix of dramatic prints, but that these potentially romantic dresses were offset by a simple high collar. Givenchy showed extremely high-collared pleated blouses, made less romantic by their coupling with leather trousers and military jackets. I loved it best at Yves Saint Laurent, where paper-thin turtlenecks were shown under tunic dresses, but extended well beyond into fingerless gloves. One known to take proportion to its ultimate extreme, Martin Margiela raised the collar so high above the shoulders as to become a cowl that almost completely obscured girls' faces.

    Indulge in vast and unapologetic explosions of costume jewelry for fall. What we saw were statement pieces that were more sculptural than sweet or sentimental. Balenciaga contrasted latex and severe cuts with diamanté-encrusted collars, while the collars and cuffs at Yves Saint Laurent (left) consisted of Pace Rabanne-like chain mail with enormous crystal studs. At Louis Vuitton, the soft pastel palette was punctuated with heavy metal chokers and huge brooches. Lanvin ran with the trend and showed enormous Deco-geometric, mirror-glass pendants and wrist cuffs. This new form of armor added a needed toughness to clean silhouettes. The combination of heavy jewelry with extreme shoes could mean your chiropractor will be your new best friend.

    There weren’t a lot of overtly sporty references this season, so it's safe to say you can burn your velour Juicy Couture tracksuits—and please do, if you haven't already. But there was a prevalence of scuba references. Miu Miu shook off its naughty baby-doll reputation and showed a series of dark satin scuba suits complete with Esther Williams-like swim caps. Or sometimes the scuba suit morphed into a tunic dress with bright-colored cycling shorts and sports tops peeking through laser-cut, abstract versions of lace. The addition of sequins made for a wet look that worked perfectly with the scuba references Balenciaga introduced so magnificently last season. Even Rick Owens discarded his more familiar draping and embraced open zippers that circled the legs like a scuba suit that was being slowly peeled off. Upcoming Olympics aside, the news that Hussein Chalayan is the newly appointed creative director at Puma may signal a sportier trend for him next season, as well as all those he influences.

    Part two of stylist Haidee Findlay-Levin's tips for fall...

    Okay, I know I said earlier that color is back for fall. And it is, but so is black. Stop your groaning—the black dress never looked better. It was skillfully laser-cut at Balenciaga (left), skimmed the body at Sophia Kokosalaki and draped to the floor at Junya Watanabe. It was in divine Spanish lace at Givenchy and heavy tablecloth lace at Prada. The opening dress at Alexander McQueen, made from layers and layers of soft tulle, was reminiscent of a black crow, though it was hardly the only exquisitely gothic dress in the collection. The mohair-lace dress stretched over layers of tulle, like one of Degas’ ballerinas in silhouette, was especially to-die-for. But perhaps the most exquisite black dresses walked Lanvin's runway; my two favorites were a wet-look wrap dress and a one-shouldered silk satin shift with a heavy fur cuff on its one side.

    Brace yourself for black eyes this fall. And I'm not talking gobs of Amy Winehouse eyeliner, no matter how well she sang at the Fendi store launch party during Paris Fashion Week. I'm talking kohl eyes, the classic kind found at Givenchy, as well as the perfect cat eyes at Balenciaga. (When replicating, please don’t get carried away like one recent fashion show attendee who not only completely painted his face white—yes, he's male—but dons a Shirley Temple wig.) Blackened eyes do require a nude or beige mouth, like the kind found at Rick Owens, but if you have to have a layer on your lips, go all the way with ink-black glossy lips like those at Yves Saint Laurent.

    If goth isn’t your thing, choose from the endless permutations of gray seen on the runways: slate, charcoal, heather, lilac and mauve. Junya Watanabe (left) committed fully to a collection of no-color to illustrate his deft cutting and draping, taking it so far as to completely wrap the girls' heads and faces in sheer gray fabric with mini-boxes piled high on their heads, to sculptural effect.

    With the severity of cut this season, and the attention paid to minimalism and the back, the only hair to wear is a ponytail. Not the high, Blonde Ambition version, but a simple ponytail worn on the side and secured at the nape of the neck. Miu Miu even showed the ponytail peeking out of neoprene swim caps. The only other acceptable version would be a small knot or chignon, also worn low and tight. So no more Barbie hair or updos. And please no more big Oscar hair—ever!

    This has been one of the most creative seasons for pants in ages, with designers really experimenting with fullness. The best baggy pants came from Louis Vuitton, especially when slightly drop-waisted and pleated. Those in shiny black leather with a slightly pegged leg were absolutely stunning, reminiscent of that Grace Jones/Thierry Mugler/Claude Montana era. My other favorites were over at Yves Saint Laurent, shown slightly cropped and higher in the waist. Haider Ackermann pushed his baggy pants high above the knee, like puffy shorts worn over leather leggings. There were Houri trousers in velvet devoré, as well as printed chiffon versions, at John Galliano, and narrow gray flannel pant-skirts at Junya Watanabe, which ended in an extremely low crotch. Meanwhile, at both Givenchy and Alexander McQueen, pants were skinny, black and high-wasted and mostly in leather or brocade. Maison Martin Margiela went super-sexy and offered leather pants complete with zippers snaking up the back of the leg like seamed stockings. And how can we ignore his other offering, the asymmetric one-legged bodysuit in a multitude of prints?

    I know it seems passé to talk skirt lengths in this day and age, but here it is: skirt lengths will definitely drop. I'm not talking red-carpet gowns here, but floor-grazing, skinny column dresses at Sophia Kokosalaki, which save their intricate detail for the collar. There was also the black dress that opened her show, seemingly suspended by a single diagonal strap and falling well below the knee. Dries Van Noten, too, showed high-necked column dresses that ended mid-calf, just short of ankle socks and heavy strappy sandals. At Louis Vuitton there were some knee-length bell skirts, but it was all about ballerina-length dirndls that stood away from the hips, while at Lanvin (left) the length was kept just above the knee with sexy and tight hobble skirts made up of bands of horizontal ribbon.

    Fall tips from stylist Haidee Findlay-Levin (part one of three)...

    Everywhere I looked at the fall collections I saw fur, leather, skins and hides—from black fur stoles and cuffs at Lanvin to a tunic covered in camouflage tails at Louis Vuitton and a massive fur cardigan coat from Ann Demeulemeester. The prefurred color is blue from Dries Van Noten (left) or Anne Valérie Hash, but if blue isn't your thing, look no further than Marni for a dusty-pink cropped chubby. Exotic furs not for you? You can still discover your inner beast with Mongolian sheepskin sleeves from Toga or a lavender Mongolian sheepskin jacket from Ann Demeulemeester, as well as crocodile-skin dresses at Zucca and leather-front dresses and jackets at Yohji Yamamoto with the hide's raw edges still intact. Feathers, too, stalked the runways, starting with an asymmetric collar trimmed with the lightest of ostrich plumes at Haider Ackermann and ending with a slightly tougher black ostrich-feather skirt from Christian Lacroix. Meanwhile, pony skin was a favorite at Anne Valérie Hash, superbly cut into body-skimming turtlenecks and a jumpsuit variation.

    It's all about pastels for fall. My sights are set on mint green and powder blue cashmere, molten wool and duchess satin at Louis Vuitton. Choose from an exquisite bell-shaped blue skirt, a magnificently tailored jacket with perfectly rounded edges, a liquid silk blouse or a full-on, floor-length, positively regal evening gown, if you have the occasion for it. Marc Jacobs' own line, too, was full of the softest pastels. Vanessa Bruno, meanwhile, showed a variety of pastels in full Mongolian sheepskin hats combed out and looking like a well-conditioned punk hairdo. But best from her were the palest of antique pink and sage green marabou chubbies, the color and lightness of a butterfly's wings.

    Bundle up in hand-knit ruffled capelets and shrugs from Tao Comme des Garçons (left) in vivid shades of pink and violet, while contrasting them with blue mohair bloomers. Or keep it neutral in natural or black and wear one of her cake-layered cable dresses. If volumes of ruffles and cables aren't for you, indulge your punk side with the designer's multicolored mohair knit/silk-backed tunic tops or dresses. That is, if you haven't already indulged in Rodarte's wonderful colored mohair knit tops and bell skirts. Don’t stop until you have their mohair open-knit stockings, the best hosiery moment of the season.

    Laddered mohair stockings wouldn't be complete without those white or rose gold studded and spiked high heels that Christian Louboutin designed for Rodarte. They can do damage! But the next wonder of the world might just be the black leather heelless thigh-highs from Antonio Berardi, a sexy homage to artist Alan Jones, whose glass tabletops rested on the back of a girl on all fours—perhaps a safer way to wear them! I was a little surprised that Louis Vuitton showed such dangerously high wedges after last season’s more reasonable winklepicker inspiration. But on closer examination, I realized there was a sliver of light passing through some of them and that there were, in fact, skinny skyscraper in the heels. Fantastic! I also loved the strength and sculptural quality in the Brancusi-looking white heels at Miu Miu. Especially when worn in sharp contrast to the minimal clothes of the collection, they could really be one of the key accessories of fall.

    If you're more about bags than shoes, make it a clutch. I'm not just talking evening bag clutches, but huge leather envelopes from Dries Van Noten worn throughout the day. Although not as large as the house's oversized collars, Maison Martin Margiela also showed a massive clutches (left), as did Véronique Leroy in both her own collection and Leonard. These clutches, of course, were fantastic printed versions.

    The intricately printed latex dresses at Balenciaga are another way to satisfy your fetishistic side—and without dressing, predictably, in all black. Dries Van Noten's continuation of vivid and bold floral prints was big hit, particularly the pod-sleeved column dresses, although his abstract print trouser suits were also spectacular. If you prefer tiny rather than bold prints, you can't ignore his floor-length Fortuny-pleated dresses or the high-necked cap-sleeved dress completely covered in tiny printed ruffles.

Statement of Significance

Description of Historic Place

Penticton High School is comprised of two large brick schools located side by side on a 7 acre site facing Main Street between Jermyn Avenue and Eckhart Avenue in Penticton. The Ellis School is a 1912 high school in a neo-Georgian style with three two-storey bays on a raised basement. The 1921 Victorian-eclectic Shatford School, located to the north of Ellis School, is also a two-storey brick building on a raised basement. The schools are framed by a fieldstone wall and a row of mature maple trees, both of which date from around 1915.

Heritage Value

Penticton High School is an important evolving cultural landscape which tells the story of public education and civic development in Penticton since 1912. Its primary heritage values reside in the physical attributes of the school yard, and in the architecture of the Ellis and Shatford Schools.

Comprised of seven acres, this school campus is the foundation for the rich history and heritage of this site. Located at the prominent intersection of Main Street and Jermyn Avenue, it is recognized as the nucleus of the school system in Penticton. Historic maple trees and the unique stone perimeter wall establish an academic sense of place befitting the most important collection of institutional architecture in the city.

The multi-faceted architecture of this site is integral to Penticton's collective history because it reflects various periods of civic development. The 1912 Ellis School, designed by architects Bell and Constant, is valued for its unique neo-Georgian style, exceptionally detailed and well-proportioned design, and high-quality materials such as brick and stone. The contiguous Shatford School, designed in 1921 by architects Bell and Curtis, is valued because of its complementary Victorian eclectic features, sensitively designed to not overwhelm or clash with the Ellis School. The sympathetic 1970s link which physically connects the schools is also important to the heritage value of this site, as it reflects a significant period of growth in Penticton and the innovative manner in which it was met. Although much of the interiors of the two schools have been altered, their key physical aspects, which reflect their landmark status in the community, remain intact.

This historic place is a monument to the continuing evolution and development of local public education. A symbolic temple of learning, it represents the civic pride and optimism with which the City of Penticton has stimulated and encouraged generations of growth.

Character-Defining Elements

Key elements that define the heritage character of Penticton High School include:
- the crisply defined neo-Georgian architectural form of Ellis School, including its three brick bays, raised basement, Romanesque central entrance arch and arched windows above
- the high quality of brick craftsmanship on Ellis School, including the corbelled entrance arch
- the complementary Victorian eclectic design of the Shatford School
- the roof-top cupola on the Ellis School and the roof-top lantern on the Shatford School
- the sympathetic 1970s link which connects the two buildings
- the hipped roofs and deeply articulated dentil courses on both schools
- the fieldstone wall and maple trees which create a sense of place by enclosing the two schools and establishing their pre-eminence on Main Street
- the continuity of public use since 1912
- the association with the prominent architectural firms of Bell and Constant (Ellis School) and Bell and Curtis (Shatford School)
- the association with a period of economic confidence in Penticton
-the assembly hall designed to seat 500 in the Ellis School

Battle of Leipzig, Napoleon, Battle of the Nations
  • Print
  • Cite

Also known as the Battle of Nations, Leipzig was, In terms of numbers of troops engaged and amount of artillery, the biggest battle of the Napoleonic Wars. Separate but coordinated armies of Russians, Prussians, Swedes, and Austrians brought 370,000 troops and 1,384 guns to the battlefield, whereas Napoleon’s strength stood at 198,000 men with 717 guns.

The battle developed when Napoleon seized the Leipzig position, intending to divide his opponents and attack them one by one. The French almost had that chance on the first day of fighting, when the Prussian army engaged while the Army of the North, a Russo-Prusso-Swedish force under Bernadotte (a former French marshal), hung back. However, Napoleon became the victim of his own repeated changes of operational focus during this campaign.

With allied strength building up on the second day of Leipzig, Napoleon spent most of the day redeploying, while on the final day allied numbers and combat power proved simply too much. Even in withdrawal there was disaster for the French-a premature destruction of the major river bridge at Leipzig trapped the French rear guard. Casualties quoted for the battle are usually 73,000 French and 54,000 allies.

Leipzig was the first occasion on which Napoleon was clearly defeated in the field (the Austrian repulse of Napoleon at Aspern-Essling in May 1809 brought about a stalemate, not a clear victory, and its effects were soon reversed by the Battle of Wagram; French defeat in Russia in 1812 was the product of strategic factors, not an army in the field). The French Grande Armee continued its westward retreat until, in 1814, the victors closed in on Paris and Napoleon abdicated.

Women win school suffrage on March 27, 1890. Essay 469 : Printer-Friendly Format

On March 27, 1890, Governor Elisha P. Ferry signs the School Suffrage Act into law. The act enfranchises women to vote in local school district elections, but not for state or county superintendents.

In 1894, Ella Guptil won election as Clallam County Superintendent of Schools. The next year the Washington State Legislature passed a bill that legalized her position.

In 1900, seven women served as county superintendents. Julia Kennedy served as Seattle's first female superintendent of schools. Washington's public schools employed 1,033 male teachers at an average monthly salary of $42.13 and 2,288 female teachers at an average monthly salary of $34.53.

Edward F. "Ed" Koren

  • T 813.227.6655
  • T 863.499.5314

Edward F. Koren is a partner in Holland & Knight's Tampa and Lakeland offices, and serves as the leader of the firm's Private Wealth Services Group. Mr. Koren's practice is focused on wealth planning and protection for entrepreneurs and multi-generational business owners. He serves clients across the country and practices principally in the firm's Tampa and Lakeland offices. The firm's Private Wealth Services Group is the largest group of trusts and estates lawyers in the United States, with more Fellows in the American College of Trust & Estate Counsel than any other law firm in the country.

Mr. Koren is past chair of the American Bar Association's Real Property, Probate and Trust Law Section; former American College of Trust and Estate Counsel Regent and past chair of its Estate and Gift Tax Committee; and the author of Estate and Personal Financial Planning, a five-volume treatise published by Thomson West that covers planning concepts for asset accumulation and transfer throughout life and through inheritance.

He is a Florida Board Certified Wills, Trusts and Estates Lawyer and is a National Association of Estate Planners & Councils-Accredited Estate Planner® who has received the highest rating assigned by Martindale-Hubbell.

Custom-Planned Complex Structures for High-Net-Worth Families

Estate planning for high-net-worth families is both challenging and rewarding. Each family requires customized solutions, because their needs and goals are unique. A plan tailored to one family's particular source of wealth and individual familial issues will be totally inappropriate for another that has different relational challenges, business considerations or planning needs.

Mr. Koren works continually with families and their advisors to devise and implement comprehensive plans that match and adjust to each family's distinct attributes. Additionally, he often serves as a resource for the family office managers to ensure that they understand and are prepared to carry out the routine administration of the plan. These are the hallmarks of a successful planning approach for the high-net-worth family.

Planning for Entrepreneurs

The entrepreneur's approach to wealth creation reflects an appreciation of risk and reward; however, they often need encouragement to focus on longer-term issues or critical details that are required for the implementation of an appropriate estate plan. At the same time, entrepreneurs often appreciate "cutting edge" planning techniques, because they are attuned to judging their risk and reward attributes and how they will apply to their situation. A significant majority of Mr. Koren's clients are entrepreneurs, each with a different set of issues and goals, requiring specific and unique planning, often with multiple options for the client to select.

Business Succession Planning

Succession planning requires more than traditional estate planning tools. It often involves the creation of business structures, while also addressing family relationship issues that affect both current and long-range aspects of the business operation and family bonds. As with any estate plan, how assets are to be distributed and who is to administer the owner’s estate must be determined. As the advisor to owners of family businesses, Mr. Koren provides guidance on the transfer of the business to succeeding generations by raising a number of difficult issues:

  • How (or whether) the business is to continue after the owner’s death
  • How to separate and reward sweat equity from family equity
  • How to identify and train successors
  • How to deal with what may be significant liability for estate taxes

Mr. Koren knows that as an estate planner he must anticipate not only the elements affecting any business – market, economic and competitive issues, among others – but also how the interfamily relationships and related concerns impact the business.

Many planners focus only on the tax consequences when advising the family business owner on estate planning issues, but those are often resolved relatively easily by using available planning tools. Business succession planning, on the other hand, is very fact specific. With this understanding, Mr. Koren also acts as a counselor to assist the owner in the development of a plan, working with a variety of advisors who can bring their expertise on issues impacting management and ownership succession, family jealousies and rivalries, and general business concerns. This is where truly difficult issues arise, including not only the identity of the leadership of the next generation, but how to make the transfer and how to balance family issues with those affecting the business. Mr. Koren applies his experience and knowledge to design an effective succession plan to ensure that the business owner’s estate plan complements the business succession plan.

Representation of Fiduciaries

As the investment world has become more complicated, the law has evolved to recognize the new challenges. The standards by which a trustee's performance is evaluated have changed as well, so that almost every jurisdiction now has some version of the Prudent Investor Rule, by which trustees' investments are measured. Mr. Koren often works with fiduciaries to focus on the investment process that is required by the Prudent Investor Rule. In addition, as Chair of the committee of The Florida Bar that drafted Florida's Principal and Income law, he often advises trustees on the law's application to specific situations that arise during the administration of a trust.

Tax Controversies

Planning for high-net-worth families inevitably involves controversies, ranging from the valuation of assets that are the subject of transfer during life or death, to the structure and effectiveness of planning tools that may be used to implement a client's plan, and the nature and amount of various deductions, including those for charitable transfers. These controversies begin with an audit of the estate or gift tax return, which often is triggered merely by the size of the transaction or estate. Mr. Koren has handled a multitude of such audits, generally resolving them favorably for the taxpayer at the audit level. Where that is not possible, he typically is able to resolve the matter through the IRS appeals process. In the rare instances when a favorable result cannot be achieved at that level and it is necessary to resort to litigation, Mr. Koren represents clients through the litigation process – generally in the U.S. Tax Court, although refund litigation is sometimes preferable in either the U.S. District Court or the U.S. Court of Federal Claims.

Marital Agreements

All marriages terminate – either through dissolution or the death of one spouse. Often, wealthy families seek to minimize the controversies that can arise in these situations through the use of pre- or post-marital agreements. Mr. Koren has extensive experience in developing effective agreements that involve both the financial and family situation, particularly if a family business is involved where the business and tax planning aspects of these agreements are even more important. Opportunities for careful tax planning – based on each client's assets and family circumstances – can be comprehensive or limited to specific assets, such as the family business, inherited assets, or assets with special tax and business considerations, i.e., stock options and carried interest. Mr. Koren consults often with matrimonial attorneys in these circumstances to achieve tax-efficient solutions.

Mr. Koren has written numerous articles and chapters in publications pertaining to trusts, estates, individual taxation and estate planning and administration, and speaks regularly at seminars sponsored by national and regional professional organizations, including the University of Miami Heckerling Estate Planning Institute, Southern Federal Tax Institute, the American and Florida Bar Associations, the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel, ALI/ABA, PLI, the American Association of Attorney/CPAs, NYU Institute on Federal Wealth Transfer Taxation and numerous estate planning councils throughout the Southeast.

He was executive editor of the University of Florida Law Review. He served as an adjunct professor of law at the University of Florida in 1996, where he taught a graduate course in estate planning in the LL.M program, and is now serving in that role at the University of Miami, having taught a course on valuation in the LL.M. Program in Estate Planning for the past dozen years.

Schedule/Results - 4 Nations Cup

Canada 1 - CHA Midget AAA 2

Montreal, QC – Despite a strong final period and coming inches from tying the game in the dying seconds, Canada’s National Women’s Team finished on the short end of a 2-1 score to the Châteauguay Patriotes. Gillian Apps scored Canada’s only goal.

Patrick Langlois opened the scoring for Châteauguay in the opening frame, sent in alone by the Patriotes’ top scorer Maximilien Le Sieur. Langlois beat Châteauguay native Kim St-Pierre to give the midget AAA squad an early lead at 3:38.

St-Pierre made a point black save mid-way through the first, and her teammates responded with the tying goal. Caroline Ouellette (Montreal, QC/ Montreal, CWHL) left her post on defence and powered herself past a Patriotes’ defenceman, sending a centering pass to Gillian Apps (Unionville, ON/ Mississauga, CWHL) who was crashing to the net, and Apps slammed the puck past the helpless Châteauguay goaltender Patrick Spano.

The middle frame looked like it was going to be scoreless, with Châteauguay carrying most of the play. Their persistence paid off at 18:44, as a turnover led to a goal by Le Sieur. His quick wrist shot beat Charline Labonté (Boisbriand, QC/ McGill, CIS) on the glove side. At the same time, Éric Bourdon came in to replace Châteauguay starter Spano.

Canada had more chances in the third and final period, but could not find the mark. The best chance for Canada may have come on a power play, when Jayna Hefford (Kingston, ON/Brampton, CWHL) was left alone to one side of the net, but her quick shot was kicked aside by Bourdon. Then again, in the final moments, a loose puck bounced over Rebecca Johnston’s stick as she stood next to a wide open net.

Canada’s National Women’s Team will leave for Lake Placid and the 4 Nations Cup on Sunday morning. Canada opens the 2008 4 Nations Cup on Tuesday, November 4th against Finland (game time: 1:00 pm EST).

Reasons For Change

In response to my post a few days ago, I was asked to give a detailed summary on why I think it is time for Barry Trotz to be fired. Here are really the main reasons why Phillip and I feel it's time to make a change:

Barry Trotz has been the only head coach this franchise has ever known. He's been here since day 1 in 1998. In that time, the Predators have been to the post-season 5 times. They are 0 for 5 in the first round under Barry Trotz. Not once have we won the Central Division in our existence(I understand it's an incredibly difficult division to win). Basically, we've had absolutely zero success in the post-season. We've really only had 2 years where we were in the hunt for the division and we had a guy named Paul Kariya on that team(not to mention Peter Forsberg in one of the two years). The style of play is different in the post-season than it is in the regular season. Everything is faster. Trotz simply hasn't made the necessary adjustments to be successful in the post-season yet.

Everybody remembers the horror of our power-play in the first round against Chicago last year. Peter Horacheck was removed of his power-play duties and Barry Trotz took over. The Power-play is now worse than it was last year. Nashville is currently converting on the power-play at 11.1%, good for 27th in the league. That total would be worse if not for the 2 power-play goals in Minnesota when the game was already out of hand. There isn't any creativity on the power-play. It's really a very predictable and simple system to figure out. The goal seems to be to get the puck to Shea Weber and let him just rip the puck over and over again. That's really not a bad idea, but all of the other teams know what we're going to do so they take Weber's shot away. There is no flow. There really is no aggressiveness, which brings me to another point.

Many of you have been complaining about the attitude of this team, saying things like "they're not showing any heart,fire, or intensity. They don't stick up for one another. They're incredibly passive." I happen to agree with you all. Attitude is a direct result of leadership. Trotz is a conservative(not talking about politics here), calm guy. The team reflects that same passivity. There seems to be no fire and no excitement. Of course, there are great strengths to being calm. He never over-reacts to anything and he always keeps his cool. Sometimes, however, there is a need to lose your cool. There's a need to get fired up about something. If I had to speculate, I think some players would really appreciate it if Barry Trotz occasionally was not a calm person. I think they'd appreciate it if he showed some sort of emotion or intensity. However, that's just not the kind of coach he is. I think it's rubbing off on the team. They're playing passively, and aren't showing very much emotion or determination at all.

I'm going to throw out some numbers for you:

-Nashville has a .375 winning percentage when leading after the first period this year. That's the worst in the NHL.

-Nashville has a .625 winning percentage when leading after two periods this year, which is good for 29th in the NHL(Only Edmonton is worse).

-Nashville currently sits at 13th in the Western Conference with 23 points. The Preds are 6-7-2 vs. Western Conference opponents. That's not going to get it done.

The Preds cannot keep a lead. They get extremely conservative in their play, which goes directly back to the coaching staff. It's really just that time make a change. The Preds aren't playing up to their capability this year and the responsibility for that has to fall on someone. I think that someone is Barry Trotz. Once again, I think he is a phenomenal person to be around, and a very good man. But, his style of play isn't working here. I'm not an advocate of change just to change. I think there needs to be a reason behind the change. The way I see it, I think there is more than enough reason to make the change and, quite honestly, the change would've already been made in many other places.

  1. Why not replace the assistant and associate coaches first? It would bring in new ideas, take the pp from Trotz and possibly improve it, and avoid the complete chaos that follows a mid-season head coach change.

  2. I think there's going to be chaos any way you slice it. Somebody has to be held accountable for how the team is performing. I personally think it's time to make the change. Now, that doesn't mean they're going to.

  3. I agree with everything you said. Trotz and the rest of the coaching staff will not be fired as long as they are under contract. The Predators will not want to pay them not to coach, just as they don't want to pay their highest salaried players to be healthy scratches even though their lack of production screams for them to sit.

Whole Wheat Penne with Roasted Butternut Squash and Bacon

 Print Friendly and PDF

Spring is around the corner and flowers are starting to bloom. But before we all get out our barbeque grills and abandon our ovens, I urge you to roast some butternut squash and put together this pasta dish. It’s easy, delicious and full of good nutrition – from the many benefits squash contributes to all of the healthful goodness whole grains bring to the table in the Hodgson Mill Whole Wheat Penne. Besides, it has bacon in it.

  • 2 cups butternut squash, diced in 1/2 in cubes
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • sprinkle salt, coarse grain
  • 8 oz Hodgson Mill Whole Wheat Penne
  • 5 thick slices bacon, diced
  • 3 tsp garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup parmesan, grated
  • 2 Tbsp sage, chopped, fresh
  • balsamic vinegar, for drizzling

Preheat oven to 450˚F. Toss the squash with the balsamic vinegar, olive oil and coarse-grain salt on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet.  Roast for 15 to 20 minutes or until the squash is soft (but not mushy) and becoming caramelized – stirring at least once in the process.  Set aside.  Cook the pasta in a large pot of water according to the directions on the box.  Reserve one cup of the cooking water when draining the pasta.  Set aside.  Sauté the bacon in a large skillet until the fat is rendered and bacon is crisp.  Drain the bacon on a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.  Pour out all but one tablespoon of bacon drippings from the skillet and add the garlic to the pan.  Cook the garlic for a minute, being careful not to burn it. Add the roasted squash, bacon and pasta to the skillet with the garlic and toss everything together.  Add reserved cooking water, ¼ cup at a time, to the pasta mixture until it looks evenly wet – you may not need all of the water.  Warm things up on low heat if necessary.  Sprinkle the chopped sage and Parmesan cheese on top, give the dish one last toss and serve immediately.  Drizzle a little balsamic vinegar over the top of each serving if so desired.

Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger Accused of Sexual Assault

March 5, 2010 By:
Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger Accused of Sexual Assault

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has found himself at the center of another scandal. He’s just been accused of sexual assault by a young woman in Georgia.

According to TMZ, the incident occurred early this morning at a club in Milledgeville called Capitol City. The victim was reportedly sent to a nearby hospital!

Police authorities have already questioned the woman, who has since been discharged from the hospital, and are now talking to eyewitnesses. They also spoke with Ben, yet no charges have been filed.

When contacted, the Steelers rep replied, "We are gathering information on this incident - until then we have no further comment."

As you may recall, Roethlisberger is already being sued by a Reno, NV woman who claims he also assaulted her in 2008. We completely believed him over her when this happened, but now we’re not so sure! Stay tuned for more details.

Philomena Lee Makes Plea for Open Adoption Records on Capitol Hill

Philomena Lee

Irish-born Philomena Lee, whose search for the son she was forced to give up for adoption inspired the Academy Award-nominated film Philomena, went to Capitol Hill Wednesday to press for reforms that would open the records in such cases.

Lee, who is portrayed in the film by Judi Dench who also has been nominated for an Oscar — met with Missouri Democratic senator Claire McCaskill and Connecticut Democratic senator Chris Murphy to discuss the need for easily accessible adoption records. The visit follows the launch in Dublin last week of her Philomena Project, a charity that raises money to reunite Irish mothers with their children who were given to American couples in forced adoptions.

STORY: Will Weinstein's 'Philomena' Benefit From Best Picture Split?

Lee was living in a convent in Rosecrea, Ireland, when she gave birth as a single mother and was compelled to surrender her son, Anthony, who was adopted and raised by a St. Louis family. He went on to become a successful political advisor and strategist, but died as a young man. Even though mother and son had been actively seeking each other for years, they were kept apart by closed records in both countries.

“I’ve been so moved by the support we’ve gotten, both for telling our story and for bringing attention to this horrible experience that so many of us had,” said Lee. “In recent weeks and months, we’ve received an outpouring of support from across the globe, and now we’re harnessing that support to create positive change for families in Ireland and the United States.… It is my hope that every mother and child who want to be reunited are able to come together once again.”

On Saturday, Lee visited Anthony’s American gravesite for a memorial service and discussed the need for immediate action to open the records that will allow other families to be reunited.

President Obama Visits Aurora Shooting Victims, Delivers Speech and Meets Families (Video)

 White House

President Obama touched down on Sunday in a town in mourning, and spoke to a nation in shock, as he worked to provide leadership in the wake of Thursday night's deadly movie theater mass shooting.

Obama's stay in Aurora, Colorado, where 12 moviegoers were killed and 58 more injured during a midnight screening of The Dark Knight Rises, was split between efforts private and public. The president met with the families of each of the victims, and recalled his encounters during a nationally televised, ten minute speech.

"I had a chance to visit with each family, and most of the conversation was filled with memory," Obama said. "It was an opportunity for families to describe how wonderful their brother, or their son, or daughter was, and the lives that they have touched, and the dreams that they held for the future.  I confessed to them that words are always inadequate in these kinds of situations, but that my main task was to serve as a representative of the entire country and let them know that we are thinking about them at this moment and will continue to think about them each and every day, and that the awareness that not only all of America but much of the world is thinking about them might serve as some comfort."

STORY: Colorado 'Dark Knight Rises' Shooting Witnesses Describe the Attacks

He also recounted a meeting with 19-year old Allie Young and 21-year old Stephanie Davies, best friends who survived the assault thanks to fast thinking and selfless acts.

"When the gunman initially came in and threw the canisters, he threw them only a few feet away from Allie and Stephanie, who were sitting there watching the film," he recounted. "Allie stood up, seeing that she might need to do something or at least warn the other people who were there.  And she was immediately shot.  And she was shot in the neck, and it punctured a vein, and immediately she started spurting blood.

"And apparently, as she dropped down on the floor, Stephanie -- 21 years old -- had the presence of mind to drop down on the ground with her, pull her out of the aisle, place her fingers over where she -- where Allie had been wounded, and applied pressure the entire time while the gunman was still shooting," Obama continued. "Allie told Stephanie she needed to run.  Stephanie refused to go -- instead, actually, with her other hand, called 911 on her cell phone."

This is the third reaction Obama has given about the shootings; he gave an early, brief statement shortly after the news broke early Friday morning, and then addressed the nation later that day. He suspended his campaign ads through the weekend, and ordered flags be flown at half-mast until July 25.

James Holmes, the alleged gunman responsible for the massacre, is due in court on Monday.

Unique fireplace keeps Burge Hotel warm during the winter months PDF Print E-mail
Written by Holyoke Enterprise

A snow covered Burge Hotel is featured during the month of December in the Enterprise’s 125th commemorative calendar.

Originally opened in 1887 as the Sawyer House, the Burge became the Sears Hotel in 1912. The iconic “Spanish mission” exterior was added in 1918. The building wasn’t known as the Burge Hotel or the Hotel Burge until 1925-26. The hotel was owned by Mr. and Mrs. P.F. Burge, who decided to build a fireplace with the help of traveling salesmen.

The fireplace earned a spot in a column entitled “Strange as it Seems” by John Hix. The August 1931 article gave this description of the fireplace: “Traveling salesmen from all parts of the country cooperated in securing rocks and geological oddities from all over the world, with which to build the unique fireplace in the Hotel Burge, Holyoke, Colorado.

What is Home Power Saver?

Home Power Saver's primary purpose is to help you save money and reduce your bills by saving energy in your home. My focus is on cost effective measures that almost anyone can perform. When possible, calculators are provided and a cost analysis is performed to make it clear whether a specific energy or water saving project is worthwhile. In other words, my blog is about energy efficiency in a cost effective way.

On occasion I will cover less cost-effective projects and products for those that are more interested in reducing their ‘footprint’ than just saving money.

Additionally, I’ll review products that are on the market and help identify their strengths and weaknesses. Most importantly, I'll tell you if those products really work and can really save energy.  There are a lot of useful products out there, and there are also plenty of scams.

Who Is Behind Home Power Saver?

My name is Michael Hawk and I developed the idea for this site after spending years working on my house to make it as efficient as possible. I currently live in the Arizona Sonoran Desert where it is critical to have an efficient home, not just in the 110 degree summers, but also on the 20 degree winter nights. I’ve also owned homes in the midwest USA and lived in a number of other locations, providing additional insight into regional requirements for efficient homes.

I have years of experience in writing web content and love to share knowledge. I feel my experience can help bridge the gap to make these simple energy savings projects accessible to anyone. Additionally, I have a ‘real’ day job working in telecommunications as a network architect and engineer, so my only interest in this site is creating good content and providing impartial reviews of products.

What Can You Expect From Home Power Saver?

As mentioned, this site is all about energy efficiency and water efficiency. You can expect unique articles describing a number of projects that any homeowner should be able to confidently complete. I’ll review useful products, and occasionally look into future products and important news to consider. Further, I hope to create useful tools and calculators to help you make solid financial decisions before spending money on a project.

We'll cover ways to save electricity, gas, and water over the months ahead.

And please help support the site by leaving comments on posts, linking to it if you like it, and letting your friends know about it.

This site will be an evolution, and with the help of every reader, I hope to ensure it evolves with you in mind. Please feel free to contact me using the form below.

Nice review, Pickhut. I, too, bought this game, and I too nearly got cancer reading the instruction manual.

After playing it and trying and trying and trying, I just wanted to throw myself out a window. I traded the game instead for something better. I don't remember what game I traded it for, but you can imagine that almost anything would be better.

The only thing my milkshake brings to the yard is a subpoena.

Thanks, Joe.

Yeah, it was one of those games where I kept hearing was terrible, but whenever I looked at the screenshots and stuff, I kept thinking, "It can't be THAT bad." Then I played it... and couldn't believe how many things went wrong. x_X
