Why We Are Doing This
If you are reading this you are probably a tourist eager to see what to do ? or not do ? in Newport. If you are a local, then you may enjoy finding everything Newport has to offer in one convenient location.
Either way, the high season in this town offers incredible dining, nightlife, shopping and beautiful beaches. It also offers terrible service, over priced drinks, expensive covers, and stinky seaweed.
After spending a lot of time here, the four of us want to help you not make the same mistakes we did, and maybe send a message to the places that need to get their act together. So spend some time reading our reviews on restaurants, bars, hotels and things to do, or write your own if you have the inside scoop.

Notes: Plants Seedless |
Origins of Vascular Tissue.
resources are spatially separated.
soil = water and minerals but no light.
aerial = light but no water and minerals.
solved by regional specialization of plant areas.
problem = stand up straight, need support.
solution = lignin in cellular matrix; turgidity of cells helps small plants
support themselves.
problem = tranport of materials between "organs:" water and minerals must
go up (to leaves), organic compounds must go down (to roots).
answer = a looping vascular system consisting of 2 tissues: xylem (dead tube
cells carrying water and minerals up) and phloem (living cells moving
amino acids, sugars, etc. down).
Later adaptations include the seed, pollen and diploid
The oldest known vascular plants were Cooksonia.
These are not true ferns. In diploid sporophyte form, they have a Y-branching system (dichotomous). They have no true roots and leaves but upright stems have protuberances that have not vascular tissue. To anchor themselves, Psilophytes have a rhizome - a horizontal stem covered with tiny hair-like structures called rhizoids.
These first evolved 340 million years ago. In 60 million years, Lycophyta split into the woody and nonwoody plants. Sporangia are created in leaf-like structures called sporophylls. Spores become underground gametophytes for 10 or more years with no photosynthesis only nurtured by fungi. The word "homosporous" means that there is 1 spore that can be either an egg or a sperm cell. "Heterosporous" indicates there is a megaspore (female) and a microspores (male). Lycopods can be either heterosporous or homosporous.
These date all the way back to the original vascular plants. Only one genus (Equisetum) has survived, located on stream banks. Dominant form is the sporophyte; the gametophyte is only a few millimeters long (but are independent photoautotrophs). It is homosporous.
These are the most diverse in the tropic and sat beside lycopods and horsetails. Megaphylls are the webbing of separate branches growing close to each other. Microphylls are tiny leaves originating with 1 strand of vascular tissue. Most have leaves called fronds. Fronds are compound (each leaf is divided into leaflets) and grows only at the coiled tip. May sprout horizontally, but tropical ferns tend to sprout their stems vertically and frow several feet. Often the sporangia are in clusters called sori on the underside of a frond with homosporous swimming gametes.

Michigan took its first lead of the game in overtime against third ranked Kansas but the visiting Jayhawks pulled away in the extra period for a 67-to-60 win over the Wolverines yesterday at Crisler Arena. Michigan trailed by 13 in the second half before its comeback that tied the game at 51 at the end of regulation play.
Zack Novak buried a deep three to begin the overtime for Michigan but Kansas answered quickly and Marcus Morris scored five of his game-high 22 points in the O-T to keep the Jayhawks undefeated at 15-and-0. The Wolverines, who have dropped 3 of 4 since a 7-game winning streak, are now 11-and-5.
Freshman Tim Hardaway Jr. led Michigan with 19 points while sophomore Darius Morris had 16. The Wolverine's next game is Wednesday at home against second ranked Ohio State. The Buckeyes, who are 16-and-0, survived a scare at home yesterday with a 67-to-64 win over Minnesota.

I loved the views, pretty safe compare with other hikings that we have done in the states. I was very, very hot.
This is a solid 7km trek. From our base in Positano we walked up 1,000 steps just to start the walk. Be prepared and take water with you. Really stunning views from the walk. We walked from Positano to Bomerano which is a quiet little village, though I'd advise not to arrive there after lunch as everything is closed from... More
I would rate this experience a five, my wife would rate it a 1, hence the three rating since we took this together. I'll offer a summary and then some details. First, my rating is high because it is a very unique experience with some of the most spectacular views I've ever seen. But I was a Ranger qualified Infantry... More
Many stairs were involved to get to the Footpath of the Gods but they were worth it. We met more people on this leg of the hike than all the others combined. Beautiful clear, hot day.
Six of us in our late 50's into the 60's did the walk in 2.5 hours. We took a cab from Positano to Agerola to start the walk. This is the recommended direction to take rather than starting in Nocelle. We ended with lunch in Nocelle with great views of the coast to Capri and then took a SITA bus... More
This was one of the highlights of our holiday, once we had found where it could be joined in Priano. The weather was clear, but not too hot, as we climbed 1700 steps to reach the path, but ensure you take at least 1 litre of water per person, and fill up again at lunchtime. Nocello is a lovely place... More
Excelllent path with spectacular views, well maintained. It is a strenuous walk as we went from Ou B&B in Nocelle to Priano that took about 4 hours with many pleasant views and rests along the way. This walk is not to be missed if you are visiting the Amalfi coast.
It's definitely doable, go for it. You will be so happy that you did. You should be in some kind of good shape however. We walked from Positano and started up. Go and explore!
This was a hike that my husband insisted on doing. It was amazing but not for the faint of heart (or those afraid of heights like I am--haha!) Parts of the hike were quite steep requiring being on all fours and "scrambling". It took us about 3 hours. We walked from Praiano to Nocelle and I can't imagine doing it... More
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! Such an amazing hike! The beginning of the path was slightly difficult to find. We luckily ran into a hiking guide on our bus there who gave us directions. The views were outstanding. The hike itself was of moderate difficulty. There are steep drop-offs at times. My husband who is afraid of heights was freaked out a... More

The Taliban believe music is un-Islamic. Why? Hadith Qudsi 19:5: "The Prophet said that Allah commanded him to destroy all the musical instruments, idols, crosses and all the trappings of ignorance."
The Hadith Qudsi, or holy Hadith, are those in which Muhammad transmits the words of Allah, although those words are not in the Qur'an.
Muhammad also said:
(1) "Allah Mighty and Majestic sent me as a guidance and mercy to believers and commanded me to do away with musical instruments, flutes, strings, crucifixes, and the affair of the pre-Islamic period of ignorance."
(2) "On the Day of Resurrection, Allah will pour molten lead into the ears of whoever sits listening to a songstress."
(3) "Song makes hypocrisy grow in the heart as water does herbage."
(4) "This community will experience the swallowing up of some people by the earth, metamorphosis of some into animals, and being rained upon with stones." Someone asked, "When will this be, O Messenger of Allah?" and he said, "When songstresses and musical instruments appear and wine is held to be lawful."
(5) "There will be peoples of my Community who will hold fornication, silk, wine, and musical instruments to be lawful ...." -- 'Umdat al-Salik r40.0
"Let the music play: musician prays for Taliban demise," by Lehaz Ali for AFP, October 23 (thanks to James):
DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan -- Mohammad Akbar says he prays every day for the Pakistani army to crush the Taliban so he can make sweet music once more without fearing for his life."They smashed it into pieces and warned me of serious consequences if I ever played it again," said Akbar as he recalled the day two years ago that the Islamists forced him to give a recital of his rubab -- a traditional lute-like instrument that is popular in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
"I recite from the Holy Koran every morning and pray for the success of the military operation and when they are defeated I will buy another rubab," he said. [...]
Akbar looked visibly distressed as he spoke about his ordeal which started two years ago when a Taliban delegation turned up at his home, following a tip-off from one of his neighbours.
Not knowing they were from the Taliban, he served them tea, played his rubab and sang for them in his living room.
And then they grabbed the instrument and smashed it.
"It was a warning from them. I was forced to stop playing an instrument that I started playing in 1981," he said.
Pakistan has seen creeping religious conservatism over the years in parts of the northwest and in July 2007 Taliban extremists launched a bloody insurgency to impose a harsh brand of Islamic law in the Swat valley.
Memo to AFP: "religious conservatism" in the Western sense doesn't involve smashing musical instruments, blowing up music stores and murdering musicians.
They blew up hundreds of music and DVD shops in the troubled North West Frontier Province (NWFP), calling the practice against the tenets of Islam.Shop owners were forced to display the pro-Taliban material which ranged from tirades against the United States to gruesome clips of beheadings and bomb attacks.
Tears rolled down Akbar's cheeks as he talked about one of his very close friends Ahmad Shah, whom he says was executed by Taliban for playing the flute.
"They slit his throat because he ignored their warning," said Akbar.
The musician also recalled his childhood friendship with Qari Hussain, a reputed mass trainer of suicide bombers whose home town is now surrounded by the army, saying that Hussain also did not like his hobby of playing the rubab.
When he confronted Hussain, who returned to South Waziristan in 2007 after living for years in Karachi, about the Taliban's behaviour, he received an icy reply.
"I went to him to lodge complaint but he asked me to be thankful to God that they did not kill me on his request," he said....

Norton Fighter: Man Of Action
Thursday 11 October 2007 @ 8:40 am | By Ivan 'Nahu' Lozano 4 CommentsA computer virus has infected your system, oh sweet Eris! Who do you call?! Norton Fighter, of course!
Norton fighter is the newest attempt by Symantec to win ground in Japan, the masked hero goes around fighting viruses in typical Japanese superhero fashion. Even when viruses try and appear friendly with their fancy emoticons, Norton Fighter never drops his guard! Here's a video of Norton Fighter ducking it out with some viruses in Japan.
I suppose they forgot to add the part where after winning the fight Norton Fighter goes on to hog your computer and become paranoid of everything you attempt to do.
If you're not new to Dark Diamond you'll know that we are faithful believers of the first rule of marketing in Japan, that is, Cosplay Sells. We've seen it many times before. Usually its pretty girls in costume but there are exceptions to every rule.

There are
several types
of grading namely:
+ Mechanical sifting:
drum sieves, star sieves, vibrating screens, oscillating sieve machines,...
By this kind of sifting the material (ballast, trash,...) is in an intake guide introduced, where by the move of the sieve the material is sorted. The material is divided in several gradings during the cycle, it begins with the finest. The performance affects the precision of the sifting.
+ Sifting with air:
air classifier, cyclone,...
At this kind of sifting the material (material with a high dust content) is transported over the construction of the filter and is blowed with a high air flow toward the handling device of the material. Due to the air flow the fine particles are steamed out and collected in a dust bunker. By regulation of the air volume and a change of the performance, the out-sifting can be low manipulated.
+ Magnetic cleaner
magnetic separator,...
Here the material to filter is transported over a conveyor. A big electromagnet above the conveyor creates a powerful magnetic field. Through the magnetic field all hardware from the material is advanced and from the residual material choped. Between the magnet and the conveyor with material is nor a short rapid running across-conveyor which feed the sorted hardware in a own container.
Fabrication of pellets via matrixes press
Example: Fabrication feed pellets: The raw materials are first milled to a grist and after this in a dosing accurate mixed as recipe. Thereafter the feed is stocked in a "Vorpresszelle". The way of the material through the press --> holding out of the box via mixing screw - in the mixing screw the steam is added to gain the correct moisture and temperature of the material. Then the feed is chased through the expander in the actual press. Before the press the temperature and the moisture of the feed is measured and if necessary there is again steam blowed in. The expander transports the feed to the matrix. Above the matrix there are running the "Kollaräder", they are chased hydraulic on the matrix. The feed has to run through the matrix - after the matrix there are running the cutter, which amputate the pellets. A visual control by the plant operator is necessary to gain a optimal product. After the pellets have to be chilled and dryed that they don't glue. Not till then the pellets can be camped again in a mixed feed box.
Parameter near the compression
• temperature and moisture of the materials
• bore diameter of the matrix holes - they affect the strength of the pellets (e.g. 6 mm)
• speed of the cutter after the matrix - the speed define the length of the pellets
• hydraulic pressure, with them the "Kollaräder" push on the matrix
is counted among the
most importent procedural basic operations
. In the easy form are two or more components together combined and through the inserting of flow movements with the help of the stir instrument in such a way into each other distributed, that is reached a consistent composition in preferably small units of volume. There are following 4 Mixing-duties and responsibilities defined:
+ to homogenize:
Mixing of solids or into each other dissolvable liquids. Compensation of concentrate varieties or temperature varieties.
+ to suspend:
Disposing of a disperse most heavy grained solid matter in a liquid; e.g.: to create a sensation of crystals in a solution.
+ dispersing:
The concepts dispersion or rather disperse system denominate the fine arrangement of a stuff in a other. It bargains for at least two components whereupon the disperse stuff and also the medium in which is dispersed, either attached, fluid or gaseous.
+ warmness transfused:
change of warmness by the mixer barrier between mixture and cloak medium. Often also conducting of the mixed warmness.

If you have read our current content devoted to high-velocity storage kits named PC Two-9200 and PC Two-10000 SDRAM: Ultra High-Velocity Memory from Corsair and OCZ you likely realized already that the manufacturers resort to two major means for reaching ultimate velocities: raise of the memory voltage and utilize of advanced cooling results.
And if the first one is rather clear less any extra reason, this is a so easy and straight-forward evaluate, then the technologies proposed to develop heat dissipation from the memory chips give the developers few room for vision.
For example, Corsair engineers advance installing four heat-spreaders per anamnesis bore (according to their Dual Heat Exchange technology), while their colleagues from OCZ advised their own liquid-cooling arrangement alleged Xtreme Liquid Convention that allows including the anamnesis subsystem into the liquid-cooling structure.
Unfortunately, we didnt administer to pay due absorption too all accessible cooling solutions for accelerated DDR2 DIMMs accessible these days. Another anamnesis kit with commodity absolutely new onboard accustomed into our lab a little later, so we absitively to allot a abstracted commodity to it.
Now we are going to bring in to you another OCZ product belonging to the fresh Reaper HPC serial overclocker memory kit utilizing heatpipe cooling system for correct heat dissipation.
Although OCZ Reaper HPC agency cannot avowal the aforementioned ultimate frequencies as Corsair Dominator and OCZ FlexXLC families, it boasts one actual important aggressive advantage: lower price. As a result, OCZ Reaper HPC anamnesis modules are currently one of the best accelerated anamnesis solutions from the amount prospective, which absolutely attracts abundant enthusiasts attention.
In our recent's content we will inquire the possible of the top kit from OCZ Reaper HPC family proposed to function at 1150MHz and will compare its practical features against those of same results from OCZ FlexXLC and Corsair Dominator families.

And second is The Rite which I've wanted to see ever since those previews months back. I finally had my paws on The Rite thanks to Netflix but then I couldn't find anyone to watch it with me at this artist colony I've been at all month and I'm leaving tomorrow. So alone and in the deep of the night I watched The Rite in bed. Third and fourth I think is the current economic crisis in America which has been up for me in a female-related way since mid-July with the non-appointment of Elizabeth Warren to the head of the CFPB (Consumer Fraud Protection Bureau). What an idea! Right? That consumers should be protected in America! It's so amazing that this brilliant person, Elizabeth Warren, who actually knows more about bankruptcy than anyone else in the country and is not from the ruling class, decided to put her expertise to work, you know, fixing things, helping the system work—mainly by imagining how it could be (like why not create a mortgage contract that people can read!) and then knocking on doors until she got the go-ahead from the White House to form a government agency that actually oversees banks large and small and credit companies and loans to college students—an agency which will make sure that the people who do business with these companies, not other companies, but people—the CFPB is now almost ready to begin overseeing the contingency that these actual people won't get screwed again… you know, like the song. Oh, I guess I was fooled again. Elizabeth Warren takes a leave from teaching at Harvard to create this agency so naturally she is not appointed to direct it.
Which is horrifying for a number of reasons—the biggest one being that if you've been following the arc of women in power positions in relationship to the economy you'll have observed them to a one getting forced out directly or indirectly, or simply made to leave by default, and also you'll have noted that in all these situations the problem basically is that each of these women were doing a good job. An exceptional job, in fact. That's the problem.
I'm thinking about Brooksley Born at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission way back in the 90s. She wanted to regulate derivatives which she saw as being likely to make some big problems for the economy down the road but in response to this realization and that she wouldn't shut up about it they (Lawrence Summers, that whole crowd) unplugged her commission instead; I'm thinking also about Patricia Small who was in charge of the endowment at the University of California, for years, who made billions of dollars for UC and she was essentially forced out when the Regents decided to reorganize the UC treasury so she would not have the final say on how they made their investments. The Regents (who brought us Arnold, who helped dump Grey Davis, who was actually calling the White House to help him stop those power outages Enron was manipulating) wanted to make more money quicker and basically, very quickly, they broke the bank of the UC endowment with a ton of bad investments right after she left. What's up with Sheila Bair (a Republican!) who just left the FDIC, who arcanely wanted to protect home-owners, not banks, crazy! And now Elizabeth Warren. I'm sure by lumping all of these superstars together I am suggesting something essentialist about women, perhaps that women often are much more capable of doing a better job of economic planning and managing the purse strings in economic watch-doggie circles than the men who gleefully are pulling the strings around her, showing that old team spirit. When I think of team here I remember the one moment I was a substitute gym teacher in a public school in Boston and a girl was actually standing there in gym class smoking. I said put that cigarette out. She passed it to her right. I said put that cigarette out. She passed it to the right. So in effect nobody was smoking because these girls were a team. This is the kind of team I'm talking about. The problem with these individual women, the economic soothsayers I'm talking about, is that they are effective, which in itself in this world of team management is enough of a reason to get rid of them. In the case of Elizabeth Warren the good news is that she will return to Harvard and to Massachusetts and we anticipate that she will swiftly in the next election unseat the idiot truck-driving Republican Senator Scott Brown. And she will do it with such style and panache that it will be a pleasure for all of us to watch. Often the people who start things don't wind up running them and in this case in particular I think it's not always bad.
After The Social Network I felt sick. Was it the scene of the girls having coke snorted off their abs, or all the other girls who threw themselves at the inadequate boys who invented Facebook, if you believe this account, because they wanted to get girls. The film was set in a boy world emanating from Harvard and with some exceptions (Elizabeth Warren and a few others) I basically think of Harvard as the school started for and by witch-burners and that's what it remains. It is the club. I am always haunted by the line in Susan Sontag's diary: Don't say anything bad in public about anyone from Harvard. Cause then they would leave you out here, I guess. I think the people in there who are not in favor of witch-burning don't stick around long and the ones who stay are actually quite into it. Witch burning has always been the fast track to success in America. I thought The Social Network was a bad film because I simply think that no story is surrounded by nothing but itself. If it is, it isn't a story. The filmmakers seemed willing to suggest that Mark Zuckerberg was and indeed always will be a lonely nerd, but the last words we read on the vanishing film were this: Mark Zuckerberg is the youngest billionaire in the world. That's the meaning of the film, cause it's the end. The gleaming white text on black looks us right in the eye and says: good for him. Like family. The kid's smart. He's laughing all the way to the bank (to meet other men?). And meanwhile girls are idiots and fools. You think it says something else. I think it's quietly genocidal. I mean in a spiritual sense. Instead of pole dancing you can be a pleasure rug. Just lie down! The money will come.
Why did I like The Rite so much. Is film viewing pleasure patently narcissistic. I do believe that's true for a large part. I wanted to see The Rite because I miss my simple beliefs in exorcism. I believed in exorcism as a child and I also feared that I would tip unwittingly towards the side of Satan. Consuming The Rite the other night in my artist colony single bed I thought to myself quietly that perhaps I am Satan. I have lazily and simply made room for him and this is my life. Placidly evil. Eating peanuts, farting and drinking tea in bed. The role of the young priest (full of doubt but winding up somehow in Rome witnessing and later actually performing an exorcism on Anthony Hopkins, who has been making his living for a long while now being possessed and saying the most evil and spot-on shit in the world, to men, to women, to everybody, castrating the whole damn tribe of humans and don't we deserve it!) that role is played handsomely and slightly foolishly by Colin O'Donoghue. He's smug when he should be a little nervous, he plays it broadly when he should be calmed and changed by his experience, in short he is not a great actor, or is even trying, but he is the ideal character for all of us to glom onto as the stand-in for our own awkward and badly-played lives. At the end he is going home to Chicago where, the post-titles tell us, he is working as a successful exorcist today. Put these two moments together. One man is a billionaire, the other is an exorcist. What a world. By implication it seems the young seminarian has found faith. Yet his last line in the movie is "cool," delivered inexactly, which confirms The Rite as an utterly flawed and weirdly satisfying film. In the pre-titles we are told that the film was suggested by real events, so is this or is this not true? He lives? A slacker exorcist? Maybe? Now that seems to me to be unbelievably cool. And even better is the hard fact that exorcisms being performed widely across America today got to the big screen through a suggestion—that is so gentle, even feminist, well feminist-man, in its quiet way of coming to power. Is it true that today even the Catholic Church is only auditioning for its own reality. That's the implication, a very leveling one, so times they are a-changing. But through all this hoop-de-doo The Rite steadfastly claims to know about evil and this film is frank about the reality of its existence.
The Social Network is not frank about evil. It really doesn't know. Do you? Is there evil in the world. Well just watch a government divided between those who want to heap more opportunity on the rich and openly sabotage the middle class, the "working people" (is any one? Working, I mean) in America and the poor—and the poor and the working people by and large do not know their true names. Most of them except for the most frankly indigent and drug dealers will proudly call themselves middle class—isn't that in fact a big part of the problem. So bear in mind that in The Rite we learn that to destroy evil—and Satan, we must learn his name. The Catholics still have that down at least.
Here's my point. (I think this is four.) Washington is divided today between those who passionately support a widespread not-knowing in order to continue to develop and grow the greatest economic split between the haves and the have-nots in the history of our country, that's what one side has grown (not jobs but that), and the other—well they are all confused at best. Maybe a handful are asserting that we ought to more heavily tax that increasingly wealthy class (to which our Congressmen and President all belong, yay, team!) and not cut back from the legions of suffering Americans for whom the original social network—medicare, social security, education—constitute the single thing (well jobs and unions too…) that might still be keeping them from truly becoming the poor, and of course the social network directly helps the poor too.
Some people in our government think that this is probably the right thing to do—maybe even including our President but he doesn't know how or where to make his point. This is the man who came into office on a wave of charm. Where did that charming man go. Barack Obama! Come back and talk to us. The women in The Rite were not so much stupid as possessed. They're rolling on the floor and acting crazy, biting and snarling, because Satan's got a hold on them. And why not. If they acted like they knew what they were doing, or what the rest of us should do, they'd probably get fired. Better to twitch on the floor and eventually go to hell, don't you think. Least you have a job. Least you know who and where your boss is. He's not some sad little pig sitting on top of the world, shrugging and getting blown, while it blows up. Bring Satan back. His name we know.

I wish I were nearly as confident in Elizabeth Warren's chances.
Me too, she's great but I have a sneaking suspicion she's just a liberal wet dream candidate like Martin Sheen in the West Wing. We like to think smart, accomplished people who use actual sentences will win elections but they don't usually.
@LondonLee B-b-b-but it's Massachusetts!
@antarcticastartshere Ted Kennedy's old seat, to boot!
I have a sense of Martha Coakley-inspired deja vu about the whole thing. But Warren couldn't be that bad, could she?
@LondonLee Well, presumedly Warren will actually have a campaign.
An interesting little factoid you learn when studying developing economies: a vast, vast majority of people in these economies, when asked, will tell you they are "middle class." Very often, in fact, those of us in the first world would label them "mind-blowingly destitute." They are frequently still poor by their own country's standards (rapidly changing as they may be). I find it pretty interesting that it seems to be happening here as well.
@antarcticastartshere This reminds me of the chart that was going around last month about the dissonance between government program use and knowledge of government program use. It seems reasonable that you wouldn't want to attach the stigma of "poor/government program beneficiary" to yourself, but the consequence is that you're just not aware that policies that hurt the poor are policies that hurt you. It's so pernicious that I'm having a hard time believing that the whole thing wasn't cooked up by some shady Pentavirate.
@antarcticastartshere : Remember, you're always middle-class as long as there's someone poorer than you. (cf "last-place aversion")
@boyofdestiny On top of that is this article that argues that people have an inherent fear/dislike of being considered "bottom rung" and therefore counter-intuitively argue/vote against the expansion of social programs that would benefit them (e.g., expanding Medicaid eligibility will make me eligible for Medicaid, which will make me one of the "poorest people"). Combine that with the widespread belief that social mobility in the US is MUCH MUCH easier than it actually is (there's another study I don't have bookmarked that shows that it takes generations to achieve).
That chart is pretty mind-blowing (43% of recipients don't realize that UI is a government benefit????).
@Gef the Talking Mongoose JINX.
@antarcticastartshere : Ha! I'd buy you a beer but then you'd have more beer than me.
@antarcticastartshere and that people would rather give money to those above them than those below them just to ensure that they at least better off than someone.
As a longtime advocate for an Eileen Myles column here, I just want to say thanks.
Also, how are Elizabeth Warren's poll numbers, anyway? Or do I direct that question to Nate Silver.
@dntsqzthchrmn Yes. This was awesome.
This was lovely, although I disagree with a lot of it! (E.g. why aren't homeowners considered "private" owners? Is it only private ownership if a bank does it? And then also, are you cool with treating all homes as "shelter" when it's pretty clear that a bunch of them are much more than that?) But still wonderfully written and thoughtful.
Oh and The Social Network was great, basically for the reasons you hated it. I refuse to believe that the "youngest billionaire" was intended as anything other than an undermining of the entire system of goals and values that drove the characters.
@deepomega By goals and values you mean burning witches, right?
@dntsqzthchrmn Also fucking.
"the biggest one being that if you've been following the arc of women in power positions in relationship to the economy you'll have observed them to a one getting forced out directly or indirectly"
Mary Schapiro, head of the SEC?
While I liked the content of this article, reaaallllly felt it could have used some more editing. The first paragraph in particular was hard to read.
Not to completely derail the point of this post (or miss it entirely), but The Rite (which I also enjoyed despite its many flaws) was based on a book called The Rite: The Making of a Modern Exorcist. I read the book after seeing the movie and was fascinated, even though I'm not a Catholic or really religious in any way. I'd recommend it for sure — even from an outsider's point of view it poses some interesting questions about faith, etc.

Do you stand or sit while caning?
Sat Jun 2, 2012 9:58am
I'm with Katherine W. on this one. I've always been seated and used to have back issues until my brother built a lazy Susan bench that stands 10 1/2" tall. The swivel came from Rockler and can hold 750 pounds, Ha! It works for most chairs except for larger pieces which I work on on my basement shop.
There, I have a large wooden (flat) display case from an old JC Penny store. I used it for several years before raising it with 4 concrete blocks. It now stands 27" high and is 78" long and 30" wide, perfect for working while standing. When I sit to cane (which is the vast majority of the time) I sit on a small child's wooden school chair with a pillow cushion for comfort. This puts me in the perfect position to keep my back straight, thus no aches or pains.
I hope to someday graduate to the excellent holding jigs that Katerine has. I covet them, Katherine!

The Bosnian Connection Strikes Against Augsburg – Hoffenheim 2-1 Augsburg
By: Saurabh | December 21st, 2011After the disappointment against Hertha Berlin on the weekend, it was important for the team to go into the winter break on a high. A Pokal tie with Bundesliga newboys Augsburg was a great chance to do that. In the end, it was a match day which gave us little surprises. Bayern and Dortmund did their best to lose but somehow managed to squeeze past their lower league opposition, while Nürnberg lost to arch rivals Fürth and decided to attacked their fans. Typical stuff. And it was a fairly typical game from Hoffenheim too.
The match in its entirety was quite uneventful but there were moments that worried and moments that gave hope. Hoffenheim's main issue is that we play a strong first half and then fail to build on that in the second half. So when the master himself, Sejad Salihovic, smacked in that brilliant freekick, the hope was that we would push on with it and finish Augsburg off. The chances did come, but they were terribly wasted as usual. Instead, the expected Augsburg goal followed and it was very lax defending to allow Torsten Oehrl to sneak in and finish the rebound. In a way the goal coming before the half was a good thing. That allowed Stanislawski to adjust and it looked to have paid off.
It didn't take long for Salihovic to strike again. Instead of scoring from the freekick however, he provided a perfect near post ball for his compatriot, Ibisevic to squeeze in. The team was able to push on well from that but unfortunately no chances were put away. We also saw Babel pick up a knock after a clash with Callsen-Bracker and he had to be replaced by a rejuvinated Boris Vuckevic. Hopefully the injury wasn't anything severe and he was just taken off so as not to aggravate the knock.
The most interesting move of the half was actually a tactical one by Stanislawski. He took Peniel Mlapa off and brought on a much more defensive minded Daniel Williams. It ended up giving Hoffenheim much more solidarity when the eventual Augsburg assault began in the last five or so minutes. It was a very important win that ensures a spot in the quarter finals of the Pokal, where Hoffenheim lost to Energie Cottbus last season.
And as Andy Black said in the post match conference, "In the Cup, it's all or nothing." With just a handful of teams remaining, it is our one realistic chance of winning a trophy. Hopefully, the team takes the competition more seriously than it has in the past and pushes towards a much better result in this years tournament.
It is a difficult ask though, especially since we could most likely have Isaac Vorsah out until March. He picked up a three match ban after being sent off against Hertha, which is a curious decision in itself considering professional fouls only warrant a one match ban. He will also be leaving for the African Cup of Nations soon and if Ghana do get far in the tournament he won't be back until at least late January or early February. With Compper also out injured you never know if he could face a set back on his return and leave us in a very sticky situation. Even with Dietmar Hopp's chequebook firmly shut we could still bring in a player on loan. Much like with David Alaba last season, having a fresh young defender could provide great cover should we find ourselves in the worst case scenario.
Either way, as difficult as the last few months have been, we can look forward to 2012 with a lot of optimism. Sometimes we forget that this is the youngest team in the league and they need time to gain the mindset of some of their veteran teammates. The fickleness of fans does shock me though. While the team has given up easy points we aren't in any sort of real danger. All this can be corrected by a strong Rückrunde.
No more s***. All posts of this qautliy from now on

Hilltop's Katalyst Hilltop's Katalyst
We just purchased this young male at the Coastal Classic Alpaca Show where he finished second place behind the Fawn Color Champion in a "super top flight" class that had Katalyst finish stronger than the light fawn who got blue ribbons at the Big E and at Empire...finished stronger than the Royal Fawn male who was Reserve Champion at East Coast and second at the North American Show. With Snowmass genetics from both parents, our Katalyst is amazingly dense with tighly bundled fleece.
In a class of 15 light fawns at the 2008 Empire show, Katalyst finished 3rd ahead of all in his class except for two males with Championships already. He then finished second at Vermont in a competitive fawn class. Clearly his past three shows demonstrate that Katalyst is competitive with the very best fawn Champions in the ring at this time.
We think Katalyst's sire, Dreamer's Advocate, is the most stunning black male we have seen in the show ring. This is a male who won championships at three of the largest shows in the country and was the Black Color Champion at the Coastal Classic in 2004....."Dreamer's Advocate is amazingly well put together, perfectly balanced, very straight, big bone, and correct bite. All of the above make Advocate special but it is his fiber that makes him exemplary. Very long Staple, density, soft handle, big time crimp and blinding brightness. He really stands out in a crowd, he is very hard to miss! In fact the Skinners write in their description of Lot #3 for their 2005 Auction The 2004 All American Futurity was the best black male round-up at one show we have ever witnessed in the US and Advocate was determined to be the "best of the best"... winning Black Male Color Champion."
On his dam's side Hilltop's Katalyst had the legendary Snowmass Legacy Gold (now getting a $10,000 breeding fee) as his dam's sire giving him a very impressive pedigree.
This is a super dense male with wonderful character to his fleece...open it up and you will say "now that is serious crimp!" His fleece is high luster and fine at 19.3 microns.
Stud fee for 2009 is set at $2,500.

Baksheesh and Brahman: Asian Journals - Indiaby Joseph Campbell
Staff Pick An interesting portrait of Joseph Campbell early in his career, Baksheesh and Brahman is a collection of journal entries, drawings, and photographs from his trip to India in 1954, right after he finished editing Heinrich Zimmer's works on Indian art and mythology. Campbell shares the conflict he feels between his mythological perception of India and the social and political realities he finds, as well as the conflicting feelings for his home country ranging from deep pride to occasional embarrassment. This title is put out by the Joseph Campbell Foundation, whose mission is to "preserve, protect, and perpetuate Campbell's work." They continue to publish previously unavailable and out-of-print material in the series The Collected Works of Joseph Campbell. Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:This journal chronicles the disillusionment and revelation that would change the course of Joseph Campbell's life and study, and his transition from professor to counterculture icon.
Review:"Campbell interrogates his own prejudices, dismantles them and builds the foundations of what has become an influential way of thinking about the world's religions." Publishers Weekly
Book News Annotation:This volume contains an edited selection of the journal kept by Joseph Campbell, the famous writer on myth (he taught comparative religion at Sarah Lawrence College in New York until his death in 1987), while he was in India in 1954-55. An able writer, he included some personal anecdotes, but mainly used the journal to develop his theories on Indian religions and their relations with those in the West.
Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Synopsis:After ten years of intensive study of Indian art and philosophy, Joseph Campbell, at 50, finally embarked on a journey to India. Searching for the transcendent (Brahman), he found instead stark realities: growing nationalism, religious rivalry, poverty, and a prevalent culture of what he called baksheesh," or alms. This journal chronicles the disillusionment and revelation that would change the course of Campbells life and study, and his transition from professor to counterculture icon. Balancing Campbells astute explorations of mythology and history are his often amusing observations of a sometimes frustrating alien culture and his fellow Western travelers. This account also includes personal photographs, specially commissioned maps, and illustrations redrawn from Campbells own hand.

CALGARY — A third offshore Newfoundland oil discovery — the second this year — by Norway-based Statoil is good news for Calgary-based partner Husky Energy Inc.
Statoil reported Tuesday the discovery was made on the Bay du Nord prospect, located about 500 kilometres northeast of St. John's, N.L. In June, a discovery was made at the Harpoon prospect, which is located 10 kilometres from Bay du Nord.
Husky has a 35 per cent non-operating working interest in both.
"The success of Bay du Nord is the result of an ambitious and targeted drilling campaign in the Flemish Pass Basin," said Tim Dodson, Statoil Exploration executive vice-president, in a news release. "This discovery is very encouraging."
Both wells continue to be evaluated, Statoil said, adding it is developing a greater understanding of the geology and potential of the basin and plans to return to the area for further appraisal drilling.
The wells were drilled by the semi-submersible rig West Aquarius, both in approximately 1,100 metres of water.
Bay du Nord is located about 20 kilometres south of Statoil's Mizzen discovery, announced in 2010, which is estimated to hold between 100 million and 200 million barrels of oil.

I'm from the extreme south-west corner of Alabama closer to Pascagoula Mississippi than Mobile, Alabama. I am a Sophomore at the University of New Orleans where I am majoring in Urban and Regional Planning. After I graduate I plan on going to law school at the University of Alabama. Roll Tide Roll!!!!
Thanks for the LIKE
To tell the truth I have been keeping up with your articles since GG did the piece in which we were mentioned. I realized the other day that I had never officially became a fan. My favorite article though was probably the one about the types of fans, I thought it was rather funny and insightful.
Hey Cody! Just wanted to thank you for becoming a fan and was just curious as to know which piece you read to make you hit that button? :) Hope you are doing well. RTR! ~The Bama Chick~
Thanks for the Fan Vote!
Thanks for all the likes Cody! Could I get a favorite writer nod? I'll swap you, You do fine work.
Hey Cody, I have been following you for awhile and value your thoughts....
Please pray for Cameon: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/275326-cameon-shiflett-needs-our-prayers
An old series of mine that is now a new series to b/r
After the great success of my first article about the uniform numbers 1-10, I have come back with the next installment, with the best players to wear the uniform numbers 11-20. I hope you can take a look and even comment on my choices. Thanks in advance!

Water Resources Development in Developing Countries
By- D. Stephenson, UMIST, Manchester, UK
- M.S. Peterson, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ, USA
Water resources exploitation has been regarded as a way of initiating economic development in many countries. Planning concepts are now changing. Thorough environmental studies, sociological and economic studies now preceed project formulation. Justification solely on the basis of benefit cost studies is no longer sufficient for many development agencies. The broader approach is introduced in this book, but the real emphasis is on the situation in and needs of developing countries.Some of the problems experienced in building water resources in developing countries are described in this book, and methods of solution based on the limited experience of the authors, are offered. These range from use of unbiased common sense, coupled with a close understanding of people's requirements, to a comprehensive computer simulated planning model. Some types of water resources development are described in more detail. These include irrigation, hydro electric power and rural water supply. Sections on socio-economics and human resource development are also included, as well as on data collection, and project planning. Lessons from the failure of multimillion dollar projects are not hard to come by, and examples and pointers which will assist future planners are given. Attention is paid to the need for aid to include training and to stimulate local economies. However big water projects appear, they cannot escape the effects of the rest of the country's economy. Attention is also drawn to environmental problems, particularly soil erosion, often caused by water resources development. The fact that water resources development cannot be carried out by engineers only, is recognized. The input of many professions, and vast experience, is needed. Drawn on international case studies, much of the material has been presented in postgraduate courses by the authors.
Developments in Water Science
Published: March 1991
Imprint: Elsevier
...a very useful book for planners of water resources projects in Third World countries. The value of the book is that it could serve as an intermediary between those who view a project from its economic merits and those who are responsible for the technical aspects. Therefore, it makes excellent reading material for students preparing for a career in the field.

CitiClub Hotel Melbourne Guest Reviews (204)
We stayed at hotel for 3nights,our first night experience on a Sunday not was a nightmare,hardly got any sleep with a nightclub in full swing until the early hours ,the noise was amazing,even with us being on the 7th floor you could still hear it,would never stay again
Crow wrote on January 31, 2013
Parking will cost you $28.00 for every 24 hours. The drapes and curtains behind were dirty and the cords did not work to close them. The sofa had stains on it. The TV didn't work. The knob of the shower fell off in my hand when I went to use it. The towels had holes in them and they were marked. Definitely would not stay here or reccommend to anyone. There are plenty of real 4 star hotels in Melbourne to stay at but not this one.

Staff very impersonal and don't even make eye contact as you walk through reception. Nightclub next door extremely noisy until 3.30am each night, which made it impossible to sleep. When we asked to change to a room on the other side of the hotel we were told we should've known it was going to be noisy and they unsympathetically charged us an $80 upgrade fee to move for the remaining 2 nights. This meant the hotel was no longer value for money. Soap and hair blocked the plughole in the bath/shower and the taps fell off when you turned them on. Do yourselves a favour, spend the extra $20 a night and book a better hotel!
very disappointed wrote on January 29, 2013
Parking was terrible and couldn't be explained by the staff properly. They tried to charge us for things from the minibar that were not used by us (I assume from the previous guest). The main chair was broken and couldn't be sat on. There were globes blown. There were no curtains, just blinds, so daylight and nightlight flooded the room.
Brettles wrote on January 28, 2013
On arrival we found out that we had to pay $22.00 for parking over our already $155.00. for one night in a deluxe twin room. The room: TV didn't work, drapes could not close and were in need of repair and cleaning. Shower hot tap fell off into the bath as soon as I touched it. Hot water not hot at all. Towel with dirty marks and holes. Needless to say I would definitely not reccomment this hotel to anyone. There are plenty of hotel in Melbourne that would be much better for less dollars.

Many of you who followed the Ugandan blog may remember me mentioning the wonderful Mother's Union work that was going on in Ankole Diocese. This was led by a truly inspirational woman Rev Canon Phoebe Mutabazi.
Sadly Phoebe died last week. She complained of a headache at a Mother's Union meeting and died within 20 minutes. They are awaiting the post mortem report.
Phoebe was one of the most joyful people that I have ever met. Her pride, not in her own contributions, but in the successes of those mothers who had, with her support, turned their circumstances around was humbling.
Her faith in the knowledge that God loved her and the people she worked tirelessly with was an encouragement to all who met her.
I know that she will be greatly missed in the diocese, both within the organization and on the ground.
I hope you will join me in prayerfully supporting her family and colleagues and for the continuation of the inspiring work that she has left behind.
Jackie WD
On Sunday November 28th, youth and children's leaders from around the diocese descended upon St Paul's Church Chippenham for The Occasion – a unique commissioning service for those who work with children and young people in their churches.

Jensen has announced he will not return to the OHL, and will instead play in Sweden next year.
Top Shelf Prospects: Vancouver Canucks
Welcome to today's edition of "Top Shelf Prospects" – a team-by-team look at the top prospects in the NHL. As I continue my alphabetical journey, I bring you a look at the Vancouver Canucks.
As always you can find a complete listing of my previous articles here. Since we had an extensive NHL Draft preview, I will not be reviewing the players who were drafted in the 2012 draft, as there have been no games since then, and my reports on them will not have changed. What I will be doing is linking you to those articles, as well as taking a look at prospects that were acquired before this year's draft; their progress, and their chances of making the 2012-13 roster of the NHL team in question. I will also bring you one sleeper pick – a player who was either drafted in the 4th-round or later, or was an undrafted free agent signing who I pick as my darkhorse to make the NHL. For those wondering, the cut-off for what is or isn't a prospect is typically about 45-50 NHL games played or being 25 years old. These are not static rules though, as I may make some exceptions depending on the circumstances.
Zack Kassian has 48 career games (44 regular season and 4 playoff games). He was given role after being acquired in a deal for Cody Hodgson. He is Graduated.
Chris Tanev has 64 career games. He played in every Canucks playoff game last season. He is also graduated.
2012 Draft Picks Reviewed:
Brendan Gaunce
Top Prospect, Nicklas Jensen, Right Wing/Left Wing
Born Mar 6 1993 — Herning, Denmark
Height 6.03 — Weight 186 — Shoots Left
Selected by the Vancouver Canucks in round 1, #29 overall at the 2011 NHL Entry Draft
Denmark has never been known as a country that produces a lot of high end hockey talent, but that has started to change in recent years. Mikkel Boedker and Lars Eller are recent first round picks who are becoming solid NHL players. Frans Nielsen and Jannik Hansen have become a solid two way players for the New York Islanders and Vancouver Canucks respectively. And now Nicklas Jensen is yet another promising young Dane, and the third recent first round pick from the country. Clearly the hockey development in Denmark has taken a step forward. In Jensen we see a young winger has spent the last two seasons with the Oshawa Generals and as such has become accustomed to the North American game. His father Dan Jensen was a former OHL defenceman and played in the Danish pro league for years.
Despite possessing top end speed that is only slightly above average, I would still say that Jensen is a very good skater. He has quick feet with a good first step and excellent acceleration. He uses his edges well and has very good agility, and this makes him deceptively elusive in the offensive zone. His lower body strength and balance are very good and as a result Jensen is very difficult to knock off the puck.
Jensen is extremely talented. He has soft hands and good stick handling ability, he can dangle defencemen and score from in tight on goalies. With his size, he is extremely hard to move from in front of the net and can be a force in board battles. A pure sniper, Jensen has a lethal wrist shot. It is deadly accurate, extremely hard and heavy, and features an extremely good release. He also has a very good one-timer and snap shot. While goal scoring is his major strength, Jensen is also a decent playmaker off the wing.
The knock on Jensen is his consistency. There are nights he puts all the skills together and he is among the best players in the OHL. A solid two way winger who snipes goals and is responsible in his own end. Then there are nights where he could stand to show more intensity on the ice. He can start to float, stops being involved in the board battles, plays a perimeter game in the offensive zone, and is just generally not involved enough in the game. He has the skills and the size to assert himself into any OHL game, and it surely must frustrate coaches as to why it doesn't always happen. Thankfully, those nights are becoming less and less, and we've seen many young players grow past consistency issues. If Jensen can do that too, the Canucks will have a gem on their hands, a legit top 6 winger with size and skill.
Jensen is just 19 years old, if he does not make the Canucks this season he will play in Sweden in the Elitserien, and if healthy will certainly be part of Denmark's World Junior Squad again. It seems unlikely that he will be ready to crack the big squad this year, but a year playing against men may make him more ready in 2013-14.
Top Prospect #2 Jordan Schroeder, Centre/Right Wing
Born Sep 29 1990 — Prior Lake, MN
Height 5.09 — Weight 180 — Shoots Right
Selected by the Vancouver Canucks in round 1 #22 overall at the 2009 NHL Entry Draft
Jordan Schroeder was an absolute star for Team USA at the Under 18 and World Junior levels. He won a silver and bronze at the U18 level, and was part of the 2010 American Team that won the Gold. However his most impressive performance was at the 2008 World Junior Tourney were a then 17 year old Schroeder (and still 18 months shy of even being draft eligible) led the entire tournament with 7 assists. Schroeder would also play two seasons at the University of Minnesota and now has 2 full AHL seasons (plus a part of a third after leaving the NCAA) under his belt. Schroeder has shown flashes of star potential at the AHL level, and looked to final break out during the second half of this past season.
Schroeder is an extremely talented skater. He has very good top end speed and quick, fluid cuts due to solid edge work. His agility helps him to elude defenders and find his way into open areas in the offensive zone. He could use a little work on his acceleration however.
Schroeder is a talented offensive playmaker, with great hands and puck protection ability and the ability to thread a pass through a tiny opening. He has a high hockey IQ and is able to make smart plays in traffic. His wrist shot and snap shots are extremely accurate and both feature a very good release, however Schroeder could work on his velocity.
As an extremely undersized player it is no surprise that Schroeder is often out muscled in front of the net and in the corners. He certainly works hard in these areas, but his physical limitations hurt him. This applies to the defensive end of the ice as well. As a result Schroeder's future may be on the wing instead of at centre. There is simply less defensive responsibility for a RW as he will not be asked to contain an opposing forward off the cycle.
The Canucks have been very patient with Schroeder, and for good reason. While he started to break out in the AHL last season, he could still use a little more time at that level, to further develop his consistency. I expect to see him back in Chicago to start the season, but he might be a full time Canuck before the year is done, or if not this year, is likely to make the squad in 2013-14.
Sleeper Pick and Top Prospect #3, Eddie Lack, Goaltender
Born Jan 5 1988 — Norrtalje, Sweden
Height 6.04 — Weight 185 — Shoots Right, Catches Right
Signed as a free agent in April 2010
Eddie Lack is the true definition of a sleeper pick. He was a virtual unknown, and was even a backup in the Swedish Elitserien in April 2010 when he was signed by the Vancouver Canucks. However he has also shown me that he is the Canucks third best prospect (and was close to overtaking Schroeder for #2) in his two years at the AHL level. He has quite simply been one of the AHL's best goalies, and has been downright spectacular at times.
Two games in particular stand out to me from the 2011 AHL North Division Final, where Lack nearly single handedly stole the Series for the Manitoba Moose against the Hamilton Bulldogs. In the series the Moose trailed the Bulldogs 3 games to 2 heading back to Hamilton for games 6 and 7. In game 6 Lack put up a shutout as the Moose staved off elimination and forced game 7 with a 1-0 win. In game 7 Lack was outright spectacular. The Bulldogs dominated the game from start to finish and threw everything but the kitchen sink at Lack. Lack was up to the task though, stopping 55 shots and forcing 3 overtime periods before Dustin Boyd scored to give Hamilton a 2-1 win and eliminate his team. During one of the various overtime intermissions I just happened to run into Walter Gretzky on the concourse and I remember him asking me who this goalie was, and how he wasn't in the NHL. Lack would follow up that run with an impressive season for Chicago this year.
Lack is a hybrid style goalie. He is capable of playing the standup game, but is equally adept at going into the butterfly style. He has a big frame and takes up a lot of net, but he tends to play deep in his crease and doesn't cut down angles as well as he could. His quick legs and lightning quick reflexes help him to take away the bottom of the net. He also has a good glove hand that does the same for the upper part of the net. Lack has good rebound control for a young goalie, but his best asset is the quickness and agility that allow him to get into position quickly and be square for the next shot. If there is one area Lack needs to work on, it is his stickhandling, as he likes to roam, but can get in trouble by doing so.
Lack appears to be NHL ready. He is the likely backup to Corey Schneider assuming the Canucks are able to deal Roberto Luongo. If the Luongo deal continues to drag on, Lack will be back in the AHL, but he's reached a point where his skills have surpassed that league. I believe Lack will be an excellent backup goalie, and may even push Schneider in a couple more years (in much the same way Schneider has battled Luongo). He is currently a restricted free agent, however most expect that he will re-sign with the Canucks before the start of the hockey season.
*Ben Kerr Edit: Shortly after I published the article, the Canucks announced a two year deal with Eddie Lack. Details can be found by clicking here.*
While the Canucks have some decent prospects, and in addition to those named above I liked the pick of Brendan Gaunce this season, as well as the play of Kevin Connauton. Connauton is a solid Powerplay quarterback type who moves the puck very well, makes smart decisions on the Powerplay and has an excellent one timer. Overall though, the system lacks elite talent, and really doesn't have a lot of depth outside of those 5 players. As I said in talking about a potential landing spot for Shane Doan, the window for the Canucks to win with their current core is closing due to the age of the Sedins and the contracts and cap space that will be needed to keep the team together. It is imperative that the Canucks add young talent in any trade of Luongo, because the system could really use an infusion youth going forward.

ONLy if he doesnt make the Canucks Roster
what happendd to Jan Sauve?
Yann Sauve… and he stinks
Canucks just signed Lack to a two year contract extension, I am sure the Canucks will at one point lower their demands for Luongo and ship him out of town. This will free up much needed cap space and give Lack the chance to be a legitimate NHL back-up.
