This restaurant with the amount of people that go there, with the amount of space they have and great location, you would think they would have better service, better coordination, better table overall set-up and just better attention to customers. I can tell you the two times I have gone there the service was lacking tremendously. I asked for water and lemon, never got the lemon. Another time, we had a small table and the waitress was attempting to place three huge plates on this small table instead of just saying; maybe I should move you to a larger table. Other time, the waitress brought the order of food and then we did not see her again till we were looking to pay the check. Additionally, usually you get bread/butter at the table when you sit down and are waiting for your order. Not here, I had to ask for it. This restaurant has such great potential just by the size of the location. But by having such poor service, I will definitely think twice before ever going back. I think any restaurant to keep its patrons needs to have good service along with good food. If they need lessons on what service looks like they should try visiting the many restaurants that are located in the city (Downtown/Midtown/Uptown) - I can give them at least 20 restaurants within a 2 block radius that can teach them how it's done. The only way a company or restaurant makes a mark is by their customer service.

Not enough lighting. Can't read the menu bcuz the words are small. The chicken I ordered was dry. It's not all that... My first & last time
Posted by Restaurant Connoisseur on 04/28/2013
El Viejo Yayo is a mediocre and VERY pricey Latin restaurant. For the price you pay here you should take a cab and go to a hole in the wall Latin restaurant in Sunset Park and pay 1/4 of the price. The beans were overly condimented and everything wasn't great. Way too pricey for the quality of food. Do yourself a favor and go else where.
Posted by A Native on 09/06/2012
Food is so delicious. Could use a little more lighting so you can read the menu. Staff is very friendly weather you speak Spanish or not.

I have been several times in the past couple months and all were great. The value is excellent, food great, service friendly and space charming. While the wine list is small, it is well selected and tasty. This is my new go to with friends and also a great place to stop by on my own too.
Posted by Anonymous on 06/13/2010
I went to this place with my girlfriend, figured we'd try something new. It sucked, the food was passable at best, the service atrocious and the atmosphere, was non-existent. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
Posted by Anonymous on 03/25/2010
This restaurant is extremely family enviroment. The food es delicious and the staff are very pleasants. If you want to have an evening of relaxation, just come to El Viejo Yayo, and you'll have a taste of the caribbean.

Zac Brown Band serves it up big and satisfies
Southwest Florida got served some chicken-fried splendor last Friday night when Zac Brown Band and pals rolled into a sold out Germain Arena. The place was abuzz, inside and out — before, during and after.
The show appetizers were in the form of a hardheaded old soul, Nic Cowan, and a firecracker named Sonia Leigh (both are signed to Zac Brown's record label). If someone told the Lakeland-born Leigh she wasn't the headliner, she must've forgotten. She and her band delivered a fiery set, including the soul'n bluesy "I Just Might" and the more up-tempo "My Name Is Money" before closing with a few rockin' bars of Led Zeppelin's "Moby Dick."
Ten minutes before Zac Brown Band took to a stage with gorgeous lighting, recorded images of him on video screens drew wild cheers. When the huge white curtain finally dropped revealing the main course, the place went nuts (that would be pecans, of course, for the Georgia-based Brown).
With their sleeves rolled up, the boys went to work and made it look like so much fun.
While Zac Brown Band may be pegged as a country band, its sound is much broader: I heard blues and bluegrass, rock and funk. They reached for the hearts with beautiful, and at times, intricate, compositions with big harmonies like "Quiet Your Mind" and "Free." And they poked funny bones with "Sic 'Em On a Chicken" and the life-is-good hit "Toes."
That the word 'Band' appears after Zac Brown is no wonder. These guys cook. Fiddler Jimmy De Martini had a smokin' bow during his solo for the clap-and-stomp-along "Whiskey's Gone." Guitarist and vocalist Clay Cook grabbed lead vocals for the first of four encores, a pristine cover of Marshall Tucker Band's "Can't You See." He tore up the guitar solo on it, too.
The band also performed a catchy new song, "The Day That I Die," from its forthcoming album. In it, Brown asserts "I hope they find me in my home with my guitar in my hands."
Brown's stage chat between songs was just enough (his music does the talking). He acknowledged that all in attendance spent some hard-earned money to get tickets for the show, adding, "Thank you for letting us do what we do."
He also extinguished a tussle in the stage left pit area with a sprinkle of Southern candor, imploring those engaged to work it out or hug it out before they get kicked out.
The dessert on this fine meal? Simply knowing that a surging artist like this will be around and giving for a long time. How sweet it is.

Glee's Becca Tobin Hints at "More Manipulation" From Kitty — Exclusive
Glee has had a lot of new additions to the cast this season, and Becca Tobin (Kitty) is among one of our breakout favorites. After all, every group of high school misfits needs a pom-pom toting antagonist. Kitty brings all the barbs, the bitchiness, and the masterful manipulation we used to rely on Quinn (Dianna Agron) and Santana (Naya Rivera) to provide... before they got all soft on us.
But after seeing the fallout from her bullying Marley (Melissa Benoist) into an eating disorder, can we expect Kitty to reform her mean girl ways? Wetpaint Entertainment Staff stole a few minutes with Becca during the Fox All-Star Party on January 8, where she gave us an exclusive peek at what's in store for Kitty in the latter half of season four.
Did you feel Kitty took a turn towards being more sympathetic? Because we're not entirely sure when that would have been.
I know. You know it's funny because at first, I was like, "Oh my God. I don't know where the turning point is," and then I realized that high school girls are like roller coasters. And there really are no turning points. It's like a pinball machine. So I think that we saw in sectionals that she felt guilty about what she did. And I hope that maybe scared her a little bit, but she's up to her usual antics in a way. And the next episode, she really slingshots back into that mean girl.
Yeah. More manipulative. It's less bullying towards Marley and more manipulation. Yeah, it was a really good time to shoot.
Are there little moments of, "What the hell did I do?"
Yes. She's being threatened. Her kingdom is being threatened, and I think that a minute of, "Oh my God, I just really screwed up and could have lost everything for the glee club" happened. But at the same time, she's a high school girl, and all the boys need to love her. And she needs to be the only person that matters and it's a popularity contest.
Did you ever look for motivation for her being the mean girl?
No. I struggled in the beginning, but it's getting easier as I get to know the character. She's very human, and I think she's not all bad. She's only 16. So what 16-year-old is pure evil? It's usually an insecurity issue or trouble at home. There's always a reason that there's so much venom inside of one person.
Do we delve into it, or is it on your shoulders to figure that out?
As of right now, it's kind of on me, but I think that these writers are incredible, and eventually, we're going to touch on it. No one's ever just mean for the sake of being mean on the show. Santana softened up. We realized she was hiding a big secret about her sexuality. So I think it was the most powerful episode. And I hope that there's something like that for Kitty.

Dyson: King was "a revolutionary and a militant and a radical"
The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. has been "romanticized," his image "frozen in the shadow of the Lincoln Memorial" on the day he delivered his famous "I Have A Dream" speech, author and intellectual
Michael Eric Dyson
told a Packard Lab audience Wednesday night.
As a result, King is often portrayed as "a toothless tiger who was able to cuddle with the best of American civic ideals and embrace, gently, the privileges of American citizenship," said Dyson, the Avalon Foundation Professor in the Humanities at the University of Pennsylvania, an ordained Baptist minister, and radio talk show host.
"And yet, Martin Luther King Jr. was a revolutionary and a militant and a radical," Dyson said.
Dyson—the author of numerous books, including
Come Hell or High Water: Hurricane Katrina and the Color of Disaster
, and the
New York Times
Is Bill Cosby Right? Or Has The Black Middle Class Lost Its Mind?
—came to Lehigh to deliver this year's Martin Luther King Day speech. He was introduced by Alta Thornton, assistant dean of multicultural affairs.
Dyson called King "an extraordinary man," and proclaimed: "Martin Luther King Jr., in my mind, is arguably the greatest American we have produced."
Unlike such great leaders as Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Benjamin Franklin, whose words and deeds inspired the nation, King "was a private citizen, with no formal political ties beyond his interest in shaping the future of a country that had promised the delivery of democracy, and yet had failed to deliver."
"Amnesia and nostalgia"
While civil rights lawyer Thurgood Marshall, who went on to become the first black Supreme Court Justice, and many other prominent black leaders at the time advocated working within the legal system, King took the civil rights movement to the streets, practicing non-violent civil disobedience.
"Amnesia and nostalgia are a lethal cocktail because we pretend now that we loved King," Dyson said. "And if we loved him so much, why is he dead?"
King was assassinated in Memphis, Tenn., on April 4, 1968.
Dyson said the only portion of King's speech delivered on Aug. 28, 1963, in front of the Lincoln Memorial that is widely known today is the line: "I have a dream … my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
Dyson referred to the famous excerpt as "34 words uttered when he was 34 years old, wrenched out of their political and ideological context and used against him to justify all manner of assault upon affirmative action, reparations, and the fundamental practice of democracy in this nation.
"Conservative brothers and sisters have suggested that King stood tooth and nail against affirmative action because he insisted that color of skin was not critical, but content of character," Dyson continued. "And yet King said that as an ideal whose time had not yet come, he saw it in anticipation of a future time, when America could embrace the noble ideals for which the country was said to exist:
E Pluribus Unum
—Out of Many, One."
Dyson noted that later that same year, after a bomb killed four girls in the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Ala., King said: "I've seen my dream turn into a nightmare."
King identified with poor
The other point that's been lost is King's unwavering commitment to the poor, Dyson said.
"What's very important is that we remember that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was so deeply and profoundly identified with poor people. He died supporting sanitation workers. He died supporting poor black men who had no other recourse but to strike because the government didn't recognize their worth.
"Martin Luther King Jr. died in Memphis, Tenn., as he spoke out against the low wages and the failure to provide benefits for black men whose only crime was that they were poor in a capitalist society. We tend to forget that now. We tend to forget that because we romanticize Dr. King ..."
Dyson exhorted those attending to "be a friend to the poor. Embrace them. Challenge economic inequality. Challenge low wages."
Jeffrey Fleisher, director of the
Joint Multicultural Program
, which co-sponsored the King Day events along with the
Office of Multicultural Affairs
, said: "I hope students heard Dr. Dyson's message about the commodification of King's message, and how it has served to drain much of the radical and revolutionary from the public discussion of King's legacy. Dyson quite rightly raised the issue of poverty, a topic which was King's focus toward the end of his life. During the MLK Faculty Roundtable, we also try to engage some of King's lesser known ideas, especially the compelling way that he understood the connection between the Vietnam war and poverty in the U.S."
This year's faculty roundtable discussion on Dr. King's writings on poverty and justice will be held at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 23 in Maginnes Hall Room 101. All members of the Lehigh community are welcome to attend.
The selections that will be discussed are available to
download online
by those who want to read them in advance.
An interfaith prayer breakfast also was held to honor King Thursday morning. Sponsored by the Office of Multicultural Affairs in the University Center, the breakfast brought together students, faculty, and staff in prayer and song.

A rupiah redenomination bill is currently being sought by the Indonesian government and it is asking the House of Representatives to start the legislation process for the bill next year.
The redenomination is an attempt to simplify currency transactions by replacing the currency with a new one. In the past, officials have mooted the idea of removing three zeros from the rupiah. For example, a Rp 1,000 note would become simply Rp 1.
Finance Minister Agus Martowardojo conveyed the plan to House Deputy Speaker Anis Matta on Friday, according to Ignatius Mulyono, chairman of the House's legislation committee.
"The House accepted the government's plans," Ignatius said. "We are now awaiting the draft to be submitted to the House."
Ignatius said that the House would discuss whether the redenomination bill could be included in the 2013 national legislation program — a list of bills that the House targets to ratify during a year.
An academic study of the bill, Ignatius said, has been completed. "With the redenomination, transactions would be simpler and faster," he said.
Bank Indonesia has introduced higher-denomination bills five times since 1964 because of inflation. That makes current daily transactions often run into the millions of rupiah.
The Rp 100,000 ($10.43) note is now the second-highest denomination banknote in the region after Vietnam's 500,000 dong note.
There are concerns, however, that the proposal could devalue the currency. But Ignatius said that the House would ensure that the government would conduct intensive socialization programs for the public should the bill be passed.
Agus said that the government and Bank Indonesia had coordinated closely to transform the redenomination idea into a workable plan.
He also added that any redenomination process would take anywhere from five to 10 years to complete.
One of the likely consequences of a redenomination is marked prevalence in the use of coins because they are worth smaller denominations.

Recipe by Samitestar
"Carrots glazed with honey with the tart addition of dried cherries. Dried cranberries can also be used. Even carrot haters like this."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

carrots, sliced
2 tablespoons
1 1/2 tablespoons
1/4 cup
dried cherries
Great recipe, but decrease the butter AND use a strong-tasting honey. Got lots of positive comments and requests for the recipe.
Start with: Good-tasting carrots. (usually large organic...baby carrots ok, too, just more casual.); Alfalfa or buckwheat honey (you'll never go back to clover or wildflower honey); Michigan cherries, craisins and cranberries are all good. Prefer no sugar or other chemicals added. (Carrots are sweet enough; just want the cherry taste.)
This recipe is for about a pound of carrots. I cut the large carrots into 2" slices then sliced them into quarters. If the carrot is really big, into six slices. They end up like mouth-size carrot sticks. Two pounds can be prepared in 10 minutes.
The less butter the better. (we hardly ever use it) The recipe "as is" feels like I'm eating butter. So at least half it. The stronger-tasting honey is more for flavor than sweetener. We LOVE this!
I love carrots, but I thought this would be a nice change from the ordinary. I used Craisins instead of dried cherries, but I still found this dish too sweet. I think next time I'll cut back on the amount of honey. Though I agree, for the carrot haters, I think this dish would appeal to them.
46 Ratings
I haven't been eating my veggies lately. Tried this recipe, very good. Used craisins and didn't have honey so used brown sugar. Yum. Also, I don't like cooked veggies so much so I just melted the butter and sugar, added the craisins. I let that cook into a sauce and just tossed the baby carrots in the sauce. Not sickening sweet at all, nice compliment to the carrots. Definitely will make again!
Normally I don't like carrots, in any form, and my husband only likes them raw. Not cooked. So we very rarely have carrots in the house, because he is the only one who eats them.
That is changing with this recipe. I am eating these as I write this--I might have to make a second batch for him when he gets home. Thanks for a great recipe!! I made it like written, came out great. I forgot, I subbed cranberries as I did not have cherries.
I tried this recipe before Christmas to see if I wanted to serve it with Christmas dinner. The carrots and flavor were delicious, but the dried cherries I bought turned out to be stale with a strange flavor. Ruined the dish. What a disappointment. No reflection on the recipe. Unfortunately good dried cherries are hard to find in small southern towns. The prepackaged ones have too much artificial junk in them and are too sweet. I bought enough to make this dish for Christmas and, sadly, had to throw them away. I hope to find some great cherries and try again. Anyone have any suggestions on how to be sure dried cherries are not too old? Thanks.
This turned out fine, and it was certainly a breeze to make. The combination of carrots, honey and cherries was a winner. Next time I'll be adding a little more honey and coarsely chopping the cherries so that every bite is packed with flavors.
Rave reviews when taking this to the pot luck, and it's so easy!
I'm always looking for a simple side dish that is also full flavored. This dish met all the criteria since it was both quick and tasty. I will make this over and over.

A reader, perhaps facetiously, commented below that Larry Wachowski's long-rumored sex change means it's now the Wachowski Siblings — or perhaps just the Wachowskis, eh?

Alan on the Technique
In Book IX of The Republic, Socrates urges us to explore our innermost thoughts and dreams as a means of gaining personal insight. The instruction is so simple it is often overlooked, because we are told simply to ponder our dreams. So, providing a dream is recalled in its entirety and in detail, it should be possible to apply the reason alone, in a non-interpretive fashion, to puzzle out the meaning of a dream to gain insight.
I have experimented on myself using this method to great benefit. The practice is simple, although it can require a lot of work, especially if you are not used to exercising understanding (and the truth is, most of us are not). The golden rule: if you still don't understand the dream, more questions are required. For instance:
- How many parts or stages are in the dream?
- Who are the players and what are their roles?
- What states of mind are in play during each event?
- What exactly is occurring, and what is your reaction?
- Are the events and your reactions reasonable?
Drawing the dream and writing down phrases used (even if not accurately recalled) and the attendant feelings is a must; most people simply do not have the capacity to puzzle out all of the elements in their mind alone. In addition to this, performing the exercise on your own can be difficult as a result of the false beliefs you might have about yourself – the message can often be obscured by it.
Last week, I introduced Duncan to the method. We began by drawing his dream and writing down its details. I continued to ask Duncan questions about the dream until a meaning came to the fore. Below is an account of the dream, followed by what Duncan felt about each of its elements. We then present the remainder of the exercise in a question-and-answer format.
The Dream
It's lunchtime. I go with friends to our usual café. The café serves curry, but that's too much for me at lunchtime. I'm sitting against the wall, and my friends get up – for the toilet, probably – when a man takes the chair opposite and tells me how much he hates me. He's sick of seeing me and my sort in the café.
I want to hit him, but he's too big. So I try to talk my way out of trouble. I flatter him, empathise; he responds at first, but isn't completely fooled: 'Don't think you can talk your way out of this,' he says, and I realise I'll probably get beaten up in a moment.
But the scene shifts. Now I'm standing in a pub carpark next to my parents' house. The man in the café and some younger friends have committed a burglary. They're making their escape across the carpark. Shaking with nerves, I dial the police on my mobile. There seems no chance the police will get here in time, but to my surprise a sergeant arrives and arrests the burglars.
'I didn't expect that to work out so well,' I'm thinking.
Reflecting on the Dream
At first, in the café, things feel familiar and comfortable. I'm happy. I don't want the curry, but I don't have to have it. There's a sense that serving curry lowers the tone of the place and attracts the wrong crowd, but I'm with my friends and the atmosphere seems okay, so I'm not troubled by this at first.
It all changes when the man comes over. He's older than me: late forties, early fifties. Cropped hair. Thick neck. Built like the proverbial brick shit-house. His hatred of me is palpable, and I know at once I can do little to change it. I want to hit him, but know he'll demolish me. I hate myself for trying to talk my way out of the situation, because this is not my genuine impulse. Instead, I'd prefer to smack him.
If my friends had stayed at the table this wouldn't have happened. If the café didn't serve curry, probably the man wouldn't have come in. But I don't blame anyone; my overriding feeling is the self-disgust at having to talk my way out rather than acting. Although I'm very skilful at talking to him, it doesn't quite work. He's not fooled. This adds weight to my feeling that trying to talk my way out is only a weak and ineffectual course of action.
Then the scene shifts, and I'm in a place I immediately recognise. My parents actually do live next door to a pub. Occasionally there's a disturbance at night, so although I'm on 'home turf' the scene in this part of the dream has the potential for violence, as well as feeling familiar and safer than the previous scene in the café.
When I see that the man has committed a burglary, I realise that now I have a 'legitimate premise'. I can now take action and call the police. But I still feel disgusted at myself, because this is obviously 'passive-aggressive'. I'm getting the police to do my dirty work without putting myself at physical risk. I've got that sick, nervous feeling as I dial, because although I've got a golden chance to get back at the man, the chances of the police arriving in time are minimal.
As it turns out, they arrive at once. There is a sensation of pride and satisfaction in the way I've managed to get things to work out: the man is taken away without me getting beaten up. But the satisfaction is still tinged heavily with disgust. I haven't acted on my genuine impulses; instead, I've simply waited for a situation to arise where he's in the wrong. Oddly, I feel somehow responsible; it's as if I've tricked him into committing the burglary and sealing his own fate purely for my convenience.
ALAN: The dream is clearly in two parts: the café scene, and the car park scene. Would you say the course of action you wish to take, but fail to, in the café scene – namely smack the guy in the face – is an appropriate course of action based on his actions, the setting, etc?
DUNCAN: It's a struggle to answer this question. It really is. Because it was my original impulse, I would say that smacking the guy is the more genuine course of action to take. It's what I wanted to do. So in that sense it's appropriate. Talking my way out of trouble isn't what I immediately wanted or thought of doing; it's a compromise with the initial impulse. But having said that, and having thought about it some more, talking my way out is definitely more realistic. And the guy is bigger than me, and we're in a public place, and there is a chance that by talking I can get out of there without any punches being thrown, so – yes, I suppose this is the appropriate thing to be doing, and the urge to smack him is something it's better that I suppress.
ALAN: In the car park scene, the bad guy has robbed a house and is then arrested. How would you describe this course of events? What does it mean that he gets arrested thanks to your actions?
DUNCAN: I'm ambivalent about the way I act in this part, and that makes it hard to wrap my head around what is objectively going on. But the course of events, I suppose, is that the bad guy has committed a crime with his mates, I call the police, and he is taken away. My perception of this chain of events is tied up with a lot of feelings about my 'responsibility' for the guy committing the crime in the first place (although there's nothing in the dream, apart from my feelin
gs, to substantiate this), and also thoughts about whether I'm acting 'genuinely' or in a cowardly way. But part of me is genuinely pleased by the outcome. So, once again it seems I've done the right thing – despite my angst – and that Justice has been served.
ALAN: So would you say that the self-disgust evident in the second scene is justified?
DUNCAN: Not now I've thought about it, no. There's nothing to support it, now that I've reflected on it.
ALAN: What does this mean regarding your self-image in the first scene, then?
DUNCAN: It's very negative, isn't it? And it seems silly now, that I should base my self-image on the extent to which I fulfil my immediate impulses – as if the most immediate impulse were always the best, which it's quite clearly not! My negative self-image has no foundation. Wow. It's good shit this, isn't it?
ALAN: Is it not very interesting that this false belief you have about yourself – which you will need to clarify shortly – is the very thing that prevents you from understanding the dream correctly? What do you think that might mean about the nature of false belief?
DUNCAN: Yes, it's very striking! Especially when you're on the receiving end, and you realise the reason you can't see properly is because you've been squinting so hard. What this says to me about false belief is that although it feels as if it's impossible to detect, it's actually right there in your face all along. I was reading about astral projection the other day, and the guy who wrote the book was saying how, on the astral plane, 'to think' becomes to act, and 'to believe' becomes to perceive. False beliefs are hidden from us when we're awake, but believing is perceiving when we're dreaming, so in dreams we get to see false beliefs in action. We see them extremely 'up close', but they can be recognised.
ALAN: If you could sum up the message of the dream – and remember, the symbols are very specific; for instance, the 'cops and robbers' scene – then what would it be?
DUNCAN: That if I'm assualted (as is likely in some form or another, from time to time, through no fault of my own) then my use of the real and effective powers that lie at my disposal to restore justice needn't be an occasion for guilt or self-disgust. How's that? Am I cured? I don't have to pay you for this, do I?
ALAN: Try harder.
DUNCAN: Aw, you knob-jockey! If you were a real analyst, you'd spend some time exploring why I called you that. All right: it means that I hate myself because I believe I deal with things really badly.
ALAN: Even though you don't. In fact, you deal with things correctly, yes? Isn't it funny that you get frustrated and angry the closer we get to attacking your cherished false belief? The next step, Dunc, is to consider the dynamics of the dream, and to look for recent examples in real life that share those dynamics. A sure-fire way of accomplishing this is to recall a time when you attempted to achieve something personally meaningful, and the problems you encountered. For now though, we'll leave it here. That's a grand please. And you called me a knob-jockey because your parents dressed you as a girl until you were fifteen.
Duncan on How the Technique Differs from Psychoanalysis
Most contemporary models of dream-analysis are based on the Freudian psychoanalytic approach, which views dreams as symbolic representations of unconscious thoughts. The Hellenic technique is superficially similar in approach to psychoanalysis – i.e. the account of the dream is collected in as much detail as possible, and then its imagery and feelings are explored. However, in psychoanalysis free association is used to relate the symbolism of the dream to the dreamer's waking life and experience. In psychoanalysis there is the assumption that our understanding of the dream is incomplete until we relate its imagery to our waking experience.
The Hellenic approach, on the other hand, assumes that the dream-imagery is in a form already perfectly amenable to understanding. Instead, the emphasis is on the emotional state of the dreamer within the dream, which supplies pointers to what is preventing the dreamer from recognising the dream's meaning.
What I found hard to grasp, when Alan worked on my dream in this way, was the idea that the Good and the True are embedded in the dream. It was hard to adapt to the non-Freudian notion that my actions could be judged on their efficacy within the dream itself, and didn't need to be looked at in relation to some hidden factor in 'my unconscious'. For instance, I was concerned with whether I was acting 'genuinely' rather than simply for the Good. Concern with 'the genuine' assumes a difference between the manifest and some other domain of truth or meaning outside the dream and my experience.
This is the crux of the difference between the Hellenic approach and psychoanalysis. Psychoanalysis assumes the dream is a true expression of only a part of the self – e.g. of the unconscious, the shadow, or some other sub-personality. From this perspective the dream is never sufficient to express its own meaning and elucidation must be sought elsewhere. In other words, within the psychoanalytic model (and other models based upon it, such as Jungian analytical psychology or Gestalt psychotherapy) an individual's dream is at best only a relative expression of the truth.

New mom on the block!
A few quick words about me, living in Bangkok, under the tiny thumb of my 13 month old daughter, fondly referred to as Moppet, whose daily exploits can be found at my blog called - what else! - Moppet Tales
And what do I do when I'm not kowtowing to Her Little Highness, or polluting the blogosphere with extravagant punctuation?
Nothing much, really. A former corporate type, who gave it all up to become a flunk to a different and far more demanding little boss, I am currently enjoying the luxuries (?!) of stay-at-home motherhood. Now of course, I will be adding 'spending time at the Club' to my list of daily activities : -)

nVidia Ge Force Cuda 310m
Hi guys,
I've just bought my new notebook, an ASUS X5DI, with a nVidia VGA (that in title of this thread).
I've installed Ubuntu KK with generic drivers enabled (i've preffered this ubuntu's version to JJ because I can obtain my resolution with KK).
I've tried to install legacy drivers from nVidia site (190.53) but when i restart i have blank screen. I've read something on forum (even on this) about edid file generated in windows environment, but even modifying xorg.conf i cannot obtain a good result. Screen is always blank and i had to format again my pc.
How cai i solve this problem? I need VGA works full because to work i use a CAD with high graphical requirements. I've bought this notebook for VGA because i believed it was perfectly supported. Please help me.
P.S. I've installed Ubuntu 32 bit version, but edid file was generated in windows 7 64 bit. Can be this the problem?

Let me say that Johnson City's newest wing joint, East Coast Wings & Grill, has shown remarkable courage in joining the highly competitive Johnson City restaurant scene. Further bravery was evidenced by their setting up shop at the down-slope end of the Kohl's parking lot.
East Coast Wings & Grill caters primarily to a young adult, young family clientele in a casual setting. Their customers are looking for a clean, well-managed and staffed restaurant serving good food at a fair price.
The dine-around bunch decided to give East Coast Wings & Grill a try one recent Friday evening. The restaurant was not busy, being about half-full when we were seated. Though the table had been cleared, I asked for another wipe down to make sure it was clean.
Our server, let's call her Ms. X, arrived shortly after the wipe down. After giving some obviously knowledgeable but brusque answers to each of our several questions about items on the menu, Ms. X was efficient, almost deliberately so in taking our orders.
This was followed by a wait of 20 minutes, enlivened by an East Coast Wings & Grill Insanity Wing Challenge at the next table. Two linebacker-sized gentlemen, one bald and one not, having first signed the Insanity Wing Challenge waiver, were being gloved by their server under the watchful eye of a management type. Once properly attired, the two linebackers were presented with a single hot wing each.
"One?" I mouthed at the management-type and got a feral smile in return.
With a crowd gathering to watch, the bald one went first. As he brought this self-inflicted rite of passage to his lips, I'd swear I saw the chicken wing raise its dukes at him. The other linebacker took courage and downed his offering at one go. Instantly, the pair were seized by coughing, gasping and gurgling as the sauce bit into their throats. While one began downing a large tea to put the fire out, his partner headed for the restroom.
"Looks like the house wins again," I said.
"T'was ever thus," said the Carnivore.
As the crowd dispersed, our orders arrived. I had chosen the California wrap-ini ($7.69) and enjoyed how the East Coast chefs had packed a tasty mix of brown rice, black beans, onions, mushrooms, two kinds of cheese and tomatoes into a flour tortilla, then grilled it perfectly. The ranch-amole dipping sauce was not to my taste, but I made do with some sour cream and pico di gallo relish.
My dining partner enjoyed her chicken 'n waffles Napoleon ($9.99). The batter and marinated chicken breast was seasoned correctly, and made a good centerpiece for the accompanying savory waffles and onion rings.
The Dieter wanted something Asian. Her choice of the Mongolian steak salad ($8.99) was just what she was looking for. I had a bite, and was pleased with the flavor combination provided by the sesame glazing on the sliced flank steak and the way the vinaigrette dressing complimented the veggies and crunchy noodles.
The Retiree enjoyed her pulled pork barbecue sliders ($8.79), noting that the tangy house barbecue sauce topping made a flavorful blend with the smoky taste of the pork. For my taste, the cole slaw could have used a squeeze of lemon.
The Carnivore was in his element with his ECW&G burger ($8.79), a half-pound of seasoned Angus beef (grilled rare, please) mopped in the hot wing sauce, topped with pepperjack cheese, lettuce, tomato and onion. He added a cup of chili ($1.99) as his side order.
I politely declined a proffered taste of his creation, picking up the sauce smell from across the table. The Carnivore just smiled and took another bite, wisps of smoke playing around his lips.
East Coast Wings & Grill offers a comprehensive menu that will please any palate. They have a good, though limited dessert menu to help put the fire out.
The long wait for our meals and other service issues we encountered were resolved when my dining partner and I made a follow-up visit a few days later. So go give East Coast Wings & Grill a try. The dine-around bunch and I found the food to be good, and the Insanity Wing Challenge "floor show" is a hoot.

Gotta Have It: A Safe and Stylish Sippy Cup
A parent's best friend may be the sippy cup, which helps children gain independence without ruining sofa or car upholstery in the process. Unfortunately recent fears about bisphenol A (BPA), a potentially harmful component in some plastics, have forced some parents to toss these no-spill pals.
Thankfully manufacturers are producing healthy alternatives to traditional polycarbonate sippy cups. One of our favorites is Innate's Me-Me Gripper stainless-steel option, designed for children 6 months and up. The BPA- and phthalate-free cup is as stylish as anything Mom or Dad would use and it won't leach harmful toxins into its contents. The ergonomic shape includes easy-to-grip handles, a wide mouth that accommodates ice cubes, and an optional replacement pop-top spout that lets the cup grow with your child. The cup is available in sweet shades of blue, pink, and green.
Innate Me-Me Gripper stainless steel sippy cup; $15; available at REI.com.

"It's up to the manager really and what he offers," Westcarr told the Express and Star.
"At the minute, I am here training but I have got to sit down with the manager. I would like to stay. Hopefully, we can sort things out sooner rather than later - you can't stick around for too long.
"I just need to wait for the manager so we can sit down and try to sort something out this week, or that's it probably."

I stumbled upon this site a few years ago and I've been using it ever since:
This site has a lot of useful information, especially in regards to weight lifting exercises. They also have a muscle directory, which lists exercises that use the muscle you select.

World Team Tennis' Finals Weekend was a grand addition to local tennis the last two summers, but it appears to be doubtful that the event will return to Family Circle Tennis Center in 2013.
"I'm pretty confident that the WTT won't be back (this year)," is the way Family Circle Cup general manager Bob Moran sizes up the immediate future relationship between the WTT and Daniel Island's Family Circle Tennis Center. "I think they (WTT) are going back to the same idea as before (Charleston) with one of their teams serving as host."
World Team Tennis commissioner Ilana Kloss hedged when questioned about the site of this summer's Finals Weekend. "Hopefully before the end of the month we'll make a decision," Kloss said.
"We are leaning toward returning to (the middle of) the summer. We tried September last year because of the Olympics."
When the WTT Finals Weekend was held here in 2011 in late July, teams came directly to Charleston at the end of the WTT's regular season. The scheduling allowed little time to locally promote the four Finals Weekend teams.
The Finals Weekend last September was held nearly two months after the WTT ended its regular season in late July.
"It's not an easy decision," Kloss said. "We are taking into consideration five or six things to base our determination on ... TV, the teams, a home-team site (such as the WTT used before coming here in 2011), having a continuous season."
No FCC exhibition
The stars of the past won't shine this April on the Family Circle Cup's semifinal Saturday night. The exhibition match featuring the likes of John McEnroe, Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova will not be held this year, according to Moran.
"I think we'll take a year off with the exhibition match," Moran said.
The primary reason for the change from the last three years is the fact the Family Circle semifinals are scheduled to be played the same day (April 6) as the Cooper River Bridge Run. Family Circle is moving its starting time that day from the usual 11 a.m. slot to 1 p.m., which means the tournament schedule could run into the early evening hours.
Rogers down under
Daniel Island's Shelby Rogers has spent much of the past week back home after playing in the qualifying tournament for the Australian Open and in qualifying for a $235,000 event in New Zealand. The 20-year-old, currently ranked 209th in the world, suffered close first-round losses in both tournaments, but should gain points to keep her goal of hitting the world's top 100 in 2013 alive.
"If you don't play, you don't get points," Rogers said before returning to the USTA training center in Boca Raton, Fla.
To what does Rogers attribute her rise of approximately 200 places in the world rankings in the last six months? "Being healthy and being able to train regularly. Before that I had injuries that hindered me," she said.
Rogers' next tournament will be in early February in a $100,000 indoor event in Midlands, Mich. She also plans to apply for entry into the Family Circle Cup.
Local junior standout Connor Clements is attending NAIA member Gwinnett College near Atlanta on a tennis scholarship after being recruited by the likes of South Carolina, LSU, Alabama and Illinois.
The former top-ranked Southern junior (No. 3 at the end of 2012) is using the small college located in Lawrenceville, Ga., where Clements' family resided before moving to Charleston to transition from virtual high school. He plans to transfer to an NCAA Division I power for his last two years of college as he continues his road to possibly one day becoming a touring pro.
Volunteer applications are now available online at familycirclecup.com for the 375 volunteers (adults and kids 11-and-over) needed for the March 30-April 7 Family Circle Cup, including 200 for the ball crew. The first meeting is scheduled for Feb. 9.

I think I'm one of the 360 owners with bad luck. I'm on my 3rd 360 right now. My other two died a painful death of RRoD. i don't recall if they found a cure yet. :(
How many times has your 360 died?

Once. In a powercut.
That being said its not the 360's fault.
I've had a few, all with different problems. My first one started locking up which eventually lead to the usual red ring hardware failure. I've had disc drives which can't read brand new game discs and I've just had to send off my current (4th) xbox 360 because the video output went all fuzzy red and green and then stopped working completely. Apparently (well, according to wikipedia) they've started doing this since mid 2007 and it's not covered by the 3 year warranty. Fortunately I've only had this particular console since October...
It's pretty bad but what can you do. At least all mine have been repaired/replaced completely free so far.

I bought my first 360 in March of last year. I ended up selling that one for various stupid reasons, but I probably dodged a bullet--it was an older model that surely would have red ringed on me at some point. The 360 I bought early this year is the latest premium model, which should be fine ("should" being a very loose word here).

my 360 red-ringed for the first time 2 weeks ago, they already sent me a replacement one though.
Back last summer my 360 got the red ring of death, I sent it off, got it back the day Bioshock was released, and within 24 hours of receiving my 360 back it died again, six hours into Bioshock.

I'm expecting my first repair back tomorrow, was one of the elite versions with the 3 red rings hardware failure
I'm on my 4th 360 now. the first 360 didn't read any discs, and the 2nd and 3rd got RRoD. the first two I sent to MS and got them repaired for free, but the 3rd crashed when I was 2/3 through GTA IV so I just went to the store and bought a new one because I couldn't wait 2-3 weeks to finish the GTA IV story.

Rick Comegy has seen enough.
Following his team's lastest loss - a 28-21 home setback to a previously winless Southern University - the Jackson State coach said changes are coming for the Tigers moving forward.
For starters, senior quarterback Dedric McDonald may get another crack at being the Tigers' starter. It was McDonald that provided JSU's offensive spark last Saturday, helping the Tigers score three touchdowns in the fourth quarter. McDonald finished the day 19-of-34 for 230 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. ...

The fact that the NHL doesn't consider shootout wins when breaking ties in the standings is hilarious to me. 46 ties have been settled already this NHL season by way of the shootout, meaning 46 points in the standings have been awarded through it, but when it comes settling ties in the standings, it's no good. If the NHL really wanted to be consistent, they'd settle ties in the standings with an emergency shootout. Or, if it's too difficult to get the two gridlocked teams together, a coin toss.
Yes, the shootout is silly and random. As multiple people have pointed out, it's a total crapshoot. But when the Canucks are bad at it, as they are so far this season, it invariably leads to all sorts of equally silly, random suggestions on how to improve their fortune. Try this guy. Try that guy. Go in fast. Go in slow. Deke. Shoot. Swap goalies.
Or, in my new favourite innovation, courtesy Jonathan McDonald of The Province, pull goalies. Not during the shotoout, of course. But in advance of it. Let's all pause to examine this head-scratcher:
The Canucks are now 2-5 in the shootout this season with, at this pace, another five to six shootout losses coming in the next seven weeks. Incredibly, they were 8-7 in the shootout last season. But let's just say, for argument's sake, that they're not particularly good at this part of the game. And let's just say, anecdotally at least, that you give them better odds of winning the overtime. You know, the Sedins and all that. So wouldn't you do anything to win the overtime? Let's just throw it out there. Just as the Canucks once revolutionized the power play with that fabulous drop pass that no longer exists, they could revolutionize overtime. When Scott Gomez got that goalie-interference penalty in overtime, the Canucks spent two minutes playing 4-on-3. What if they'd pulled Schneider? What if they'd had the balls to take that risk? It is a risk, of course. Few people know that, according to NHL rule 84.2, you can pull your goalie for an extra attacker in overtime, but if the other team scores you forfeit the point you automatically get, just for getting to overtime. It might be ballsy, even foolish, but I'd applaud that move, even just one time. That power play was intense; imagine if they'd had another guy out there. Don't laugh at the idea; it might just work.
Or… we could laugh at the idea. Sure, it could pay off, since sometimes really stupid gambles work out, such as betting on Katniss to win The Hunger Games. But why would anyone take this particular risk?
Just to review: since a shootout loss is all but a foregone conclusion, according to McDonald, the Canucks should show some balls and pull the goalie for the extra attacker if you happen to get a powerplay in overtime. Nevermind that you lose the charity point if the other team scores on you, which is now much, much easier to do, because you might score on them.
Here's rule 84.2, which I'm guessing the NHL didn't think would ever come into play, but wrote into the rulebook just in case:
84.2 Overtime – Regular-season – Extra Attacker - A team shall be allowed to pull its goalkeeper in favor of an additional skater in the overtime period. However, should that team lose the game during the time in which the goalkeeper has been removed, it would forfeit the automatic point gained in the tie at the end of regulation play, except if the goalkeeper has been removed at the call of a delayed penalty against the other team.
In effect, rather than banking the point, a necessity, especially in the gridlocked Western Conference where only 4 points separate 3rd from 11th, then trying to win another point in what is essentially a 50/50 draw, give back the point you just won in the hopes that you double down.
Listen. The Canucks aren't as bad in the shootout as we think. Yes, they're an unfortunate 2-for-7 right now, their shooters are shooting 21.7 percent (or about 15% below the league average) and their goaltenders have a pretty crummy .565 save percentage (10% below league average). But, again, a great deal of the shootout is luck. Those are some bad luck stats.
But last season, the Canucks had good luck. They won 8 of 15 shootouts, making them one of the league's top 10 teams in the skills competition. Only 7 teams had more wins, and they were one of only 11 teams with more wins than losses.
The year before featured just 10 teams with more wins than losses. This time, the Canucks were not one of them. In fact, only three teams have been above .500 in the shootout two years in a row: Pittsburgh, Colorado, and New Jersey. And before you think these teams are magical outliers, New Jersey is winless in three shootouts this year.
For the most part, the shootout is random. Some years you get good luck. Some years you don't. It's rare to get good luck two years in a row. The personnel on this team really hasn't changed. The Canucks are no better or worse than they were at the shootout last season. They're just not getting as fortunate.
And hell, even if they were as bad as some believe, pulling the goalie still wouldn't be the sensible thing to do. One of my favourite lines from Cam Charron spells this out nicely: "Even if they're a good offensive team, the weird thing about hockey is that in any given moment, with any given player on any given spot on the ice, there's no spot where a player is expected to score more than 50% of the time."
But if that's a little too nebulous, consider that, over the last two years, in 27:07 of 5-on-3 time, the Canucks have scored 6 goals, or one every 4:31. In other words, in two or fewer minutes on a 5-on-3, their chances of scoring are below 50%. Plus the Vancouver net is empty, so there's that to worry about.
In effect, rather than banking the first point and trying your luck with, say, a sub-50% shot at the second (because in this hypothetical, they're worse than average, remember), pulling the goalie means your odds of getting the two points drop below 50% anyway, and your odds of getting no points skyrocket up from 0%.
Why would anyone ever do that?Tags: Shootout, shootouts, Shootouts gonna shootout
I do not understand AV's reluctance to have the same shootout players. It is like a baseball manager
determining his closer of the day by who looked good warming up pre game. Is he so concerned about the other team watching tape and scouting his shooters or is he just nonchalant about it all because he feels it is funadamentally random and not worth any effort. It seems to me that having half a dozen or so players that know they are shoot out players would encourage them to practice the skill set needed.
I agree there should be regular shoot-out practice, and at least two of the first three shooters should be regulars. The reasons for not doing that are bit like those given for why England's soccer team doesn't practice penalty kicks, ie: it's mostly luck, and you can't replicate a game situation in practice. Needless to say England lose most of their penalty shoot-outs.
All good points. This team's chronic inability to score in the shootout speaks to AV's contempt for it. I also hate it, but recognize that in the regular season, shootout success can make the difference between making or missing the playoffs. The fact that Canuck shooters are almost all dismal for their career in the shootouts seems to reflect that they don't really practise or scout it. Indeed, the all-time NHL success percentage is about 33%, and only two Canucks with more than 3 career attempts are above that rate, Burrows (11/26 = 42%) and Lapierre (4/9 = 44%). I think Vigneault should just set aside those 2, plus perhaps 3 others like Kesler, Edler and Raymond or Higgins, and have them work a couple of hours on honing a few moves. Kesler used to be quite good, but I think he's become far too predictable.
Sure, I understand your overall thesis about not pulling the keeper in overtime here, but what I don't understand is attributing the shootout completely to luck. Sure, there is a bit of luck that occurs, but I don't understand why more teams – especially in the West – don't dedicate more time to practising skills or examining goalie tendencies during the shootout. This is regular practise at the highest level of Football where you have a penalty shootout – which is essentially a similar premise.
I know Edmonton practise the shootout (probably not the best example), but if the Canucks gave a bit more time or had some players staying back after practise to try out a few shootout moves they could possibly use, they might have an additional 3-5 points by this stage of the season.
I have not proposed pulling the goalie in OT to avoid going to the shootout. However, I do think that, given their woeful inefficiency in the shootout format, that they are more likely to win in OT than in the shootout. Consequently, in my view, the Canucks should press the issue more when in the OT. I.e., play as if you're down a goal with 5 minutes left, not as if you're tied.
Now, the Canucks' 5 on 3 record is, notably, entirely comprised of non-overtime 5 on 3′s. The overtime power play is significantly more dangerous because by that point, everyone's pretty tired, including the goalie, and there are more lanes open out there. What are the odds of scoring on an overtime 4 on 3, per minute of PP time? I bet the stats would show that those power plays result in goals more frequently than regulation 4 on 3 PP's. So I don't think they're ACTUALLY under at 50% odds if they do this.
However, rule 84.2 makes it a moot point because no one will do this and risk losing the charity point. And they shouldn't. If rule 84.2 DIDN'T exist, I could see a legitimate argument that the risk of the other team scoring on the EN is significantly less than your team scoring on the 5 on 3. But with rule 84.2, it's moot. I do not see what the point of rule 84.2 is, in light of that – wouldn't the NHL WANT to incetivize teams to go all-out to end it in OT? It makes the OT more exciting. I don't get it.
So anyway, that's what I think about the Canucks and OT. If the NHL would just be sensible and adopt a 3 point system (3 for reg win, 2 for OT win, 1 for shootout win, 0 for any loss), this wouldn't have to be discussed because the incentive would already be there.
You get one point for just getting to overtime don't you? So this:
"In effect, rather than banking the first point and trying your luck with, say, a sub-50% shot at the second (because in this hypothetical, they're worse than average, remember), pulling the goalie means your odds of getting the two points drop below 50% anyway, and your odds of getting no points skyrocket up from 0%."
is not true, if you pulled the Goalie in OT you still get 1 point. I still wouldn't do it though.
Oh ya, we should definitely pull the goalie in overtime. In fact, it would be better to pull the goalie when we don't have a power play, that way if the other team miss the net, it will be icing. It is definitely time to flip the pool – fire the whole coaching staff, bring back iron Mike, trade 1 of the sedin's and throw Kessler in with a bag of pucks as well, and punt on first down. We are half way through the season, all in boys, all in.
Wowser, you're a tough act to follow Brent!
Here's another NHL inconsistency for games that go to overtime (but not to a shootout): in the regular season the winner gets 2 points and the loser gets 1. So why not in the Stanley Cup playoffs? A team could claim the cup on three wins and two O/T losses. What a hilarious(?) insult that would be!
On a slightly more serious note: I doubt using the same shooters all the time would work. I'm pretty sure other teams don't, except for a few really good shooters, like Kane and Kovalchuk. (Hey! maybe its a K-thing, so lets always use Kassian and Kesler). And if AV really had such extreme disdain for the shootout, wouldn't he call on Henrik, Daniel and the back-up goalie?
I think in fact most teams that are successful in shootouts tend not to vary their shooters all that much. Since this article is about the scoring half of the shootout, it's best to factor out goaltending and just look at shooting percentage. For the year, 9 teams are 50% or better shooting in the shootout. 6 of those teams have a winning record, (the other 3 being .500), and of those 9, 5 have participated in at least 3 shootouts. Those 5 teams are Buffalo, St Louis, Minnesota, Edmonton and the Islanders. Buffalo, Minny and the Islanders have all employed only 3 shooters for all of their shootouts, Edmonton has used four different guys. Only the Blues have varied their shooters much, using 7 different guys, though TJ Oshie has shot in every shootout. Vigneault has used 9 guys, albeit in more different shootouts. Clearly he has his go-tos, like Burrows who has taken 6 shots and Edler with 4, but Burrows is 1/6 and Edler 1/4. I think if he had those guys practise, and picked another 1 or 2 guys who knew they would consistently be selected, they might have a little more success.
Didn't Daniel state that only 3 teams have been consistently successful in shootouts, and that they are probably lucky outliers as opposed to talented outliers?
Apply your study to 5 seasons and find the results. I'm skeptical that you'll see a pattern for success.
Did you ever hear about the situation where a soccer team scored on itself in order to win? Pretty hilarious.
I'll pile in with the 'howsabout practicing the fricking shootout' crowd. I clearly remember AV saying that it isn't something that can be practiced which is rediculous. It's a highly practicable skill. At least the likely shooters should have around 3 different moves mastered, ideally some of which look the same until part way through. That seems pretty basic to me. Finish practice with a shootout, your players will get better at it.
Also, unless I'm reading that article about how shootouts are crapshoots wrong (which is likely because by 'reading' I mean reading the first 2 paragraphs, rolling my eyes and barely skimming the rest), it basically says that because players with exceptional general (point producing) hockey skills aren't the same ones that have shootout skills, the shootout is therefor random. Huh? Maybe (I hope) I missed some better logic because that's sorely lacking in it.
"Here's rule 84.2, which I'm guessing the NHL didn't think would ever come into play, but wrote into the rulebook just in case:"
It comes into play every overtime, essentially, because it is a necessary safeguard in a system where you have nothing to lose. You already have your point, so effectively the only risk of doing absolutely *anything* you want in OT is getting scored on first… but not actually being any worse off than you already are. And surrendering a goal in this case is only an opportunity cost, which doesn't weigh nearly as heavily on the human psyche as the chance of losing something you already have (hence, "risk aversity").
It's the same reason why a player gets added to the opposition in OT if you take two penalties. (When you're already 4-on-3 and have nothing to lose in a frame where you're going to be shorthanded the rest of the way anyway, why not just take more penalties to get to the shootout?) You need a disincentive.
So if there were no disincentive against pulling the goalie, attacking teams would probably pull their goalie the first chance they got where it was worth it (maybe somewhere around the 4:00 mark of OT if they were controlling the puck) and basically get a free power play.
For the record, Canuck fans saw this rule invoked in the very first season of 3-point OT (1999-2000). The Canucks needed 2 points to keep their playoff hopes alive (I think it was the second-last game of the season), and were on pace for a tie, so they pulled the goalie about halfway through overtime, and got scored on, and so got 0 points that game.
Interestingly, had they played the game to a tie, they would have finished one point up on Anaheim and drafted after them instead of before them. (Chicago had that draft pick anyway because of the Sedin wheeling and dealin in 1999, and used it on Pavel Vorobiev).
