Luongo Non-Trade Reax
Thomas Drance
April 03 2013 09:02PM
The big story for the Canucks at the deadline was what didn't happen. Roberto Luongo wasn't shipped out of town as many expected he might be when he was pulled off of the ice just ten minutes prior to noon Pacific Time. Luogno was emotional at a press conference afterwards even admitting that his contract "sucks." Mike Gillis was a bit more circumspect.
Let's roundup what's being said about Vancouver's inability to move their star backup goaltender elsewhere, on the other side of the jump.
Pierre LeBrun dissects the failed deal between Toronto and Vancouver:
Sources tell ESPN.com that the Canucks were willing to unload Luongo on Toronto for goalie Ben Scrivens and a pair of second-round picks in their final, final offer before the minutes ticked away.
The answer was still no by Toronto, which felt all along that no other team in the NHL was even remotely interested in Luongo and, because of that, the Canucks essentially should be giving him away....
... The failure of the Canucks and the Leafs to consummate a Luongo deal, however, will no doubt fuel bigger-picture conclusions and story lines from many.
Let's face it, Leafs GM Dave Nonis and Canucks GM Mike Gillis don't like each other, the latter replacing the former as GM in Vancouver.
Which no doubt will lead some people to wonder if Nonis all along wanted to string the Canucks along, only to leave them holding the bag on deadline day. Leafs sources vehemently denied that.
Jason Botchford gives us good reason to doubt Toronto's intentions:
The Canucks put on a big push to move him in the final hour, making several calls to the Toronto Maple Leafs. But every time they called, the Leafs changed what they were willing to give up for him. One time it was nothing but a prospect. On the next call, it was only a player. Then it was just draft picks.
In the end, the Canucks asked for backup goalie Ben Scrivens and two second-round draft picks. Toronto still said no. That offer leaked out hours later.
As if Luongo's pride hasn't taken enough of a hit.
It leaves you wondering how serious the Leafs were, and if a lot of their alleged interest in Luongo was really a put on or a long con. If it was, and they were sure to always keep the dialogue going, that's quite the emotional mudslide they dragged Luongo through.
Bruce Arthur on the impact of the cap-recapture clause (ironically known more commonly as "the Luongo rule"):
But Luongo was the potential franchise-changer for two Canadian teams, and afterwards he looked like a basset hound who had been kicked.
He's not a tragic figure, obviously, but it's easy to feel sympathetic for the guy, even if you don't follow his delightful semi-anonymous alter ego on Twitter, @strombone1. The NHL had always warned that the long-term, long-tail deals that were splashed around during the life of the last collective bargaining agreement would be subject to penalty, and Luongo is the first one to feel its effects. Under the new CBA, the team that signed and the team that trades for a long-contract player will be penalized under the salary cap if that player retires before the contract ends. Luongo's big money stops in 2018. There are four seasons left after that. Unless he plays until he's 43, the contract is going to hurt somebody.
Harrison Mooney empathizes with the unfair spot Luongo finds himself in:
But, even more frustrating was that, in the final minutes before the deadline, it looked like they had done it. Luongo was pulled from practice, leading many to assume that the long-awaited deal had finally come to fruition. Instead, it turned out no deal had been made, and as they continued negotiating, they just needed him on hand in case they needed him to waive that no-trade clause at the wire. Then it turned out they didn't.
The emotional rollercoaster was hard on Luongo. He admitted to feeling fine right up until yesterday, when it hit him that this could be it. And then, moments after he thought he was going to have to face the future, he's right back in limbo.
"I'm not disappointed in the way I have handled the situation," Luongo said at one point, and he shouldn't be. But clearly, he's disappointed in the situation, and thats fair, because this situation no longer is.
Iain Macintyre calls out Mike Gillis' asset management:
Luongo's humility and loyalty to the Canucks and Schneider have been admirable, but it was clear today how disappointed he is that any resolution is now likely months away.
The Canucks should be disappointed, too. They will likely have $5.33 million worth of their salary cap sitting on the bench as they try to win a Stanley Cup, which is a poor use of their limited resources.
With Schneider starting after signing a three-year, $12-million deal, the money spent on Luongo would have been better deployed on a couple of players to upgrade the Canucks at other positions.
Finally, Cam Tucker zooms in on Mike Gillis' post-deadline spin:
Gillis tried to downplay Luongo's comments, as well as the contract being a prohibitive factor in trade talks surrounding the goalie.
"I think that he was very emotional and I think these days are emotional for everybody," said Gillis.
"So, when you have a day like this where your whole life could be turned upside down, then you speak to you guys (media) right after, I think there's an opportunity for things to be said that in the clear light of day might not be reflective of how he really feels."
And the reasons, according to Gillis, why Luongo was not moved? "Basically, the discussions we've had, I still don't think it's as hard as people want to make it out to be," said the GM.
It's exceedingly easy to call Mike Gillis out on "bad asset management" in the wake of this year's deadline, but Macintyre's argument that the $5.33 could have been put to better use elsewhere is dumb because it ignores the fact that the $5.33 million in savings is only useful if you can spend it on other players. As far as we can tell, the Canucks were in a position to add Clowe's cap hit without having to move other players, so they had enough cap space to do whatever they wanted.
Just offloading Luongo for picks does nothing for the team this season. They're better off having a .920%+ ES goalie for like 4 or 5 games than they are having cap savings for the balance of this season, because for a team who is "fertile" now, a draft pick is useless until the summer.
When the season's over, this all changes of course because the cap crunch becomes the primary concern. Trade him for picks then, as it doesn't matter as much if can't get a roster player back. All in all, I don't think it's the asset management catastrophe that the MSM guys seem to think it is, and Gillis made a really solid move in adding Roy. The trade deadline wasn't a failure, and the Canucks are still good. The only thing they really need to add is health.
Couple of days ago, Gilman said this was our time etc/all in etc. This deal (Scrivens + picks) would weaken us in this playoff run, so it would seem Gillis was willing to make this deal to 'free' Luongo, rather than wait for the draft.
On the other hand, we have to get rid of Luongo in the off season, so from the point of view of other GMs, this was our last bit of leverage (effectively a rental for the playoffs). In the summer he has to go for whatever we can get.
the whole situation sucks ... Gillis, and everyone else, has their hands tied in this one.
A goalie with Loungo's credentials is being shopped for a questionable backup goalie and 2 second round picks?
what? ... this is not value for value - player wise or otherwise. strictly $$$
what fan/armchair GM wouldn't jump to have Loungo for that if they wanted to upgrade their netminder?
lo these many years ago most Canuck fans would have. IMHO
2 goalies will be paid ~33.5 mil over next 5 years. Regular Season Stats: 2.53 and 2.52 GAA .916 and .919 SV% .536 and .501W% Playoff Stats: 2.84 and 2.53 GAA .907 and .916 SV% .307 and .525W%
Further 1 of these goalies will need a contract extension after 5 years and itll come with a raise that I figure will be greater than 1.7mil
So can someone explain to me how Lui's contract is terrible? In 5 or even 6 years he retires (he will be 39/40). The team that gets him in this offseason would be on the hook for about 1.6-1.7mil per year penalty and the Nucks for 1.8-1.9. Ya that sucks but does anyone believe that the NHL/GMs dont know where the Cap is going and wont be able to absorb that/plan for it.
If not obvious by now but Lui is one of the goalies above and the other is Carey Price. Quick and Rinne have some better (not much) #s but they're Cap Hits and Total Salaries are higher (not to mention Quick also has a back diving contract).
So why wouldnt a team that has a prospect goalie not bring in Lui to give they're rookie the Schneider treatment (slowly bring him up as a backup and as time progress he takes over) rather than signing another young and unproven guy like Bernier or trade for Miller and his higher cap hit (albiet for only 2 years). Dont even mention Smith as Bryz has proven you can't trust a 'Yotes goalie.
I just got sick of the Bell and Rogers owned TSN and Sportsnet (what else do they own?) just doing a hatchet job of Lui and how he was untradable and that Vancouver should just give him away. Nice way to treat a guy that helped win a gold medal and has already been replaced for 2014 by Price/MAF/Ward.

The Canucks need to trade Schneider this off season.
Schneider may be the better option in net, but not by a significant amount. He's cheaper now, but when his current contract expires, chances are he will be making more than Lou. I think that he is the better of the 2, but the Canucks with Lou plus Schneider's trade value is a better team than the Canucks with Schneider plus Luo's value.
Being Lou's back up has to be one of the easiest jobs in hockey. The Canucks still have Eddie Lack in the minors. This year has been a bust for him, as he has been hurt. Lou can do what he did with Schneider, and do it with Lack too. It will give the Canucks a chance to see if Lack can live up to his potential. Lack's contract is an easily affordable $750k
Luongo is not a horrible goalie, but the rumored returns on him have been. The return on Schneider would be plenty, and I still believe that Luongo can be the goalie that wins a cup in Vancouver.

Best suggestion I've read.
You think Luongo wants to stay?
I agree about the hatchet job TSN is doing to Lui. Those Toronto homers are just trying to decrease Lui's value so Nonis can get him for next to nothing. Well it didn't work, so good luck losing, I mean playing, in the first round with your two inexperienced goalies TO. Man that will hurt....waiting that many years to get back to the playoffs only to embarass yourselves in the first round.
can't be anyworse than what the canucks did last year. president's trophy team getting knocked out in 5 games in the 1st round by the 8th seed...
If Daniel wasn't head hunted by Duncan Keith we would have won against LA. Unfortunately injuries are part of the game. Losing to the eventual Cup winner isn't bad, losing in the first round when you haven't made the playoffs in almost a decade would be hard to swallow. Thats Toronto's fate this year and that would be bad. That's my point.
why would it be hard to swallow? not making the playoffs for a decade means the team isn't very good and the year they finally make it and get bounced in the 1st shouldn't really surprise anyone in the fan base. sure they'll be mad but they really shouldn't expect to make it past the 1st round

That's how a simpleton with an agenda like you would frame it.
The educated fan is aware most results have context, such as LA having the best puck possession numbers in the league after the Johnson/Carter trade.
The reason why it would be hard to swallow is after years of mediocrity the Leafs should have rebuilt the right way. All those years of Mats kept the leafs mediocre and thus not at the head of the line for the premium draft picks. Finally he leaves and they tank. Then Burke in his infinite wisdom decides to trade two premium draft picks for Kessel, who will only lead the Leafs into more years of mediocrity. See the endless cycle? How good would the Leafs look now with Kadri,Gardiner,Seguin and Hamilton as a young core. Throw in Luongo and they could make a run to the cup in the next few years. I'm just not sure Reimer or Scrivens would make that possible. Maybe I'm wrong we'll see.
Ironically I feel more confident about Lack/Cannata as goaltenders than I do about Reimer/Scrivens. And our guys are 3rd and 4th on the depth chart! lol.
Of course this largely has to do with following the Canucks and not the Leafs but from what I've seen in the games I have watched they haven't impressed me much.
The whole Luongo saga does seem like manipulation on the part of the Toronto media. Nonis wanted his toy back and pouted when he couldn't get it. Waaaah!

In case you haven't set to rest your stipulation over whether wide leg denim pants were on the rise again, we've got you covered. Not only is this editorial proof of the trend's exponential reemergence, but it should be aesthetically fierce enough to prove that wide-leg haters have nothing to hate! In "Arizona Muse", a VOGUE China February 2011 editorial featuring Camilla Akrans and her cold, steely glare, the flare trend is dealt with at multiple lengths, in multiple cuts, colors, and attitudes. From the roomy white shorts to the borderline skater-boy style cargos, it looks like this trend is imminent (and, if we may be so bold, totally hot). In addition, she showcases some gorgeous jackets, vests, and other ways to remind the world that denim continues its reign.
See the full editorial here.

I also found the toe-strap to be a touch narrow, but I would have lived with that since there were so perfect (and at the perfect price!). The heel is also a tad thin."

2 Years From The Time I Purchased ItI bought this dryer in August of 2013, and last week it stopped working. It has been a great dryer, but to die exactly 2 years from the time of purchase is kind of fishy for me. Am hair stylist and am looking for something that I can use at list for more than two years. I can't just be spending $200 every year? That's to expensive.Sep 7, 2015Sedu Revolution 6000i Hair DryerHAIR TYPENormal Hair / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair / Relaxed Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Average For A Pricey DryerThis hair dryer was great for a while, especially for smoothing my curly hair. It's light weight, and it straightened my hair nicely and pretty quickly. BUT one day it just blew up on me -- it suddenly made a loud, awful noise that drove my cat into the dark corners of my house in sheer terror, and it began to smell like burning. Sadly, this happened exactly one week after the two year warranty expired. So, I'm concluding that the quality is not great, lacks longevity because it died after only two years of having it - and I didn't even use it every day. Previous to this, I have had long-term relationships with my blow dryers--typically lasting five or more years! So if you get this on sale, may be worth it. Otherwise, I'd look elsewhere.Dec 6, 2014Sedu Revolution 6000i Hair DryerHAIR TYPEBlonde / Normal Hair / Curly Hair

Hot & Fast....don't Let The Wattage Fool You!I just read a lukewarm review of this hair dryer on the Good Housekeeping website. They say their findings were that it makes hair less shiny. They also say it isn't very hot? I absolutely disagree!
This dryer is fairly powerful. The only good reason I can think of for the less shine experienced in the GH tests is the power. This thing blows pretty hard (though it doesn't feel like it....odd). I have had to move items from where I normally keep them because this dryer kept blowing them off. Picking up my hair clips and glasses that had blown off the ledge was getting annoying. I stood across the bathroom the other day to test the airflow on this dryer and it still managed to move stuff.
If you aren't using the right tools with this dryer, I can see how you may get sub-optimal results. I use Spornette or Chaz Dean porcupine boar bristle round brushes. They are similar. I do tend to like the Chaz Dean brushes a bit better, but they also cost more. They maintain a good grip on my hair so it doesn't blow around. The concentrator nozzle keeps the air from making the rest of my hair blow all over the place. My hair is perfectly shiny and I do not feel like it is less shiny now.
The part about the heat....How much more did you need? My scalp has been burned by steam, and I let my hair air dry for about 20 minutes and remove as much excess moisture as I can before I even turn it on, so it's not like it has a ton of water to cause tons of steam. Just to put this into perspective, I ONLY use a wooden hairbrush, not the metal kind that causes the hair to heat up more and steam while drying. I keep a concentrator nozzle on this dryer AND keep it a bit of a distance away from my hair.
I would say that despite the lower wattage of 1600W does not seem to have an adverse effect on the heat generated by this dryer. Maybe I am biased due to my loyalty to the Sedu brand, and I admit that I have only ever used one other dryer with any kind of power, the One 'n Only Brazilian Tech Keratin Dryer (BTW, also HOT and powerful. Folica totally sells the same thing with a slightly different name). Still though, I feel like Good Housekeeping made a lousy call on this one. I can't imagine that anybody who isn't a professional or doesn't have exceptionally difficult hair needs more heat than this.

Sending Back To Fix For A 2nd Time For Issues With MotorI had a T3 hairdryer for ten years before it burnt out. I have to send this Sedu in for a second time within the two year warranty to be fixed for a part that keeps coming loose in the motor. I will not buy another Sedu. I expect a hairdyer to last longer than a year at this price.Sep 27, 2014Sedu Revolution 6000i Hair DryerHAIR TYPEFine or Thin Hair

Poor Quality And So-so ResultsClaims that this product has the "latest in motor technology" producing "unrivaled power, air flow and heat" are nothing more than creative advertising. Performance and dry time are average, similar to a Blackbird. After a few months, the motor had a strange whistle when first turned on. I dropped it once and the plastic covering the filter broke.

Finally Found A Winner!!!After purchasing many other hairdryers that were even more expensive, I found the one. Tames my dry, frizzy, curly, very long hair. No need to use a flat iron anymore. Drying time cut by 1/3. Didn't expect any more than that given the length of my hair. Very happy with this purchase, and my new shiny, bouncy doo!Aug 17, 2014Sedu Revolution 6000i Hair DryerHAIR TYPELight Brown / Dry Hair / Curly Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Good But No Wao!I tried this Dryr is very gentle to the hair and it leave the hair very smooth however it does take the frizz away if you have thick hair it doesnt dry it very well , leave the hair still curly on the roots. If your hair is thin and you looking for a nice dryer that do the job this one will work but if you have resistant hair better take the 4000 i model, is the best.

Smooth TexturePurchased this because of the malfunction of the 4000i purchased previously. The 6000i seems lighter to hold. The power is rated lower, but the effectiveness of drying is good or better. Nice to have the cold button hold itself. The lint screen comes off with a little effort. Glad it is tight, because the 4000i lost it's cover. I feel safe now. Well constucted, user friendly dryer.Apr 11, 2014Sedu Revolution 6000i Texture Hair Dryer...HAIR TYPEAuburn / Thick or Coarse Hair

Seeing Is Believing. (this Is A Life Changer)After just using this blow dryer for the first time, I rushed to write this review. I can't even express how impressed I am. I've worked in the beauty biz for years and have tried everything under the sun. My 6 yr old hair dryer was dying out so did some research and gave the Sedu 6000i a try. I used all my same hair products, so the only change was using this dryer and my hair came out BEYOND AMAZING. I have naturally wavy/frizzy hair, and always felt like I needed to flat iron my ends to get them nice and smooth.
However, after using the Sedu 6000i tonight, my hair looks just as smooth and shiny as if I just flat ironed it (i use a ghd flat iron), which I have never been able to achieve, even after a salon blow-out. BONUS: it dried really fast!
In short, give this dryer a shot!!!
The only con I've noticed is it's a tad heavier than my previous dryer, but I honestly don't mind (i mean, I need to tone up my arms anyways).
If you're going to purchase this, get the combo pack that comes with the Wet Brush and some other Sedu products...only $90!!!Dec 11, 2013Sedu Revolution 6000i Hair DryerHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair

JST, Matthew 7:4–8.
4 And again, ye shall say unto them, Why is it that thou beholdest the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
5 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and canst not behold a beam in thine own eye?
6 And Jesus said unto his disciples, Beholdest thou the scribes, and the Pharisees, and the priests, and the Levites? They teach in their synagogues, but do not observe the law, nor the commandments; and all have gone out of the way, and are under sin.
7 Go thou and say unto them, Why teach ye men the law and the commandments, when ye yourselves are the children of corruption?
8 Say unto them, Ye hypocrites, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
JST, Matthew 7:9–11.
9 Go ye into the world, saying unto all, Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come nigh unto you.
10 And the mysteries of the kingdom ye shall keep within yourselves; for it is not meet to give that which is holy unto the dogs; neither cast ye your pearls unto swine, lest they trample them under their feet.
11 For the world cannot receive that which ye, yourselves, are not able to bear; wherefore ye shall not give your pearls unto them, lest they turn again and rend you.
JST, Matthew 7:12–17.
12 Say unto them, Ask of God; ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
13 For everyone that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and unto him that knocketh, it shall be opened.
14 And then said his disciples unto him, They will say unto us, We ourselves are righteous, and need not that any man should teach us. God, we know, heard Moses and some of the prophets; but us he will not hear.
15 And they will say, We have the law for our salvation, and that is sufficient for us.
16 Then Jesus answered, and said unto his disciples, Thus shall ye say unto them,
17 What man among you, having a son, and he shall be standing out, and shall say, Father, open thy house that I may come in and sup with thee, will not say, Come in, my son; for mine is thine, and thine is mine?

GRID-Arendal, UNEP and the Abidjan Convention are organising a workshop together on State of the Marine Environment (SOME) reporting. It will take place in Grand-Bassam, Côte d'Ivoire, from 31 October to 3 November 2013.
The workshop will be based on a methodology for rapid ocean assessment. It will produce a regional assessment of the status of the marine environment for the region of the Guinea Current. It will also produce national level State of the Marine Environment reports for a pilot group consisting of five states – the Republic of the Congo, Côte d'Ivoire, Gabon, Liberia and Sierra Leone.
The workshop will be held back-to-back with the regional World Ocean Assessment workshop (UN Regular Process, UNCLOS) which takes place from 28 to 30 October. The project will build capacity for marine assessments as a contribution to the World Ocean Assessment.
The participating states will be represented by minimum 3 experts: expert on marine biodiversity and habitats, expert on ecosystems and pressures, expert on socio-economic aspects. In addition, other regional experts will be present with knowledge of the marine environment of the Guinea Current, in order to develop the regional report.
State of the Marine Environment reporting is one of the focus areas of GRID-Arendal's Sustainable Seas capacity development programme.
GRID-Arendal and the Abidjan Convention have detailed the areas of cooperation in an MOU. Cooperation includes activities and projects on the delineation of the continental shelf according to Article 76 of UNCLOS, capacity building for technical, assessment and communication aspects of marine environmental and resource management, specific ecosystem-based approach to the management of vital marine ecosystems including Blue Carbon environments, support to the development, assessment, management and knowledge sharing related to sustainable tourism and integration of regional university-level educational institutions within the framework of the University of the Sea.

Observer Reporter
Go south along Sepulveda Boulevard in Culver City and eventually, where the street turns southwest, you will pass Sorrento Market. The Italian-style deli and market has just marked its 50th anniversary as a Culver City institution.
Users on web pages such as Yelp and Plus.Google give Sorrento rave reviews. A typical comment (from Jasmine Cameron on Google) "One of the best sandwiches in Culver City and the price ($5.00) is even better!"
Katherine Vera is the sister of former Culver City Mayor Albert Vera Sr., who, with Katherine's husband Santino Barriciello, founded Sorrento in November 1963. Katherine Vera spoke to the Observer about her memories of the store's origins.
"We came from Italy, my mother, my brother, and I," says Katherine Vera. Her mother had in fact, been born in the United States, later returned to Italy, and moved back to the U.S. Albert Vera drove a truck, a "portable deli" that delivered food from San Diego to San Jose.
Katherine married Santino, who worked for Columbia Pictures as a prop man.
By 1963, when Katherine had her third child, her husband and Albert decided to open an Italian grocery and deli. They kept their day jobs-Albert still drove his truck and Santino worked at the studio-but they managed to get Sorrento up and running and worked there when not busy with their day jobs.
"I used to work in the store," says Katherine Vera. "It was a family thing."
Albert Vera also purchased his first ranch, up in the Central Valley, growing olives for his market. He eventually owned a series of ranches and drove up north regularly to care for his produce. He grew between 1,200 and 1,500 tons of olives annually, using them for bottling and for making into olive oil, and sold them under the Vera Ranches label.
As the years went by, Katherine had back problems which limited her ability to work. Ursula Vera, Albert's wife, began to work at Sorrento and became a fixture at the store. While Santino continued to work in movies, Albert gave up his trucking and also began to work full-time at Sorrento.
"When Ursula became ill, I went back to working in the store for a bit. People would see me in the store and say 'Oh you're back?' and I would say 'Don't get used to it!'
"When I talked about going back to work [full-time] in the store my husband would say 'Go to a doctor. You need to go to a psychiatrist!'" jokes Katherine.
Albert Vera Sr., as is well known, became a member of the Culver City Council for 12 years and served as Mayor three times. He contributed to charities and often contributed free food for both private and city-sponsored events. He passed away in 2010, followed a year later by Ursula.
Since Albert Sr.'s death his son Albert Jr. has been running Sorrento Market. "I think he's been doing a beautiful job-I'm very very proud of my nephew," says Katherine.
Sorrento used to stay open seven days a week but it is now closed on Tuesdays because, says Katherine, Albert Jr. continues his father's work at the ranches and goes north to work on the production of freshly grown produce for the store.
In fact, Albert Jr. is kept very busy at Sorrento and that may be why there is no big event being held to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the market. To celebrate Sorrento's 50 years of supplying Culver City with yummy Italian deli meats, cheeses, sandwiches, and baklava, the appropriate thing would simply be to go down there and buy-and eat-and enjoy.
CONGRATS Sorrentos ! 50 years and still going. I have been a loyal customer for 40 years and always such a pleasant experience when I walk in the door. Now living about 2000 miles from home (Culver City) every time I go back to visit Family that's the first place I stop after arrival @ LAX. The service is great and the meats,cheese etc are incredible. So much to choose from and such a kind Family and staff. That's what makes a difference and the reason why places like this are still here today.

This randomized controlled trial (RCT) study is a small scale test of the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a brief motivational interview-style intervention. The intervention will take place in the pediatric and adult emergency departments by a trained interventionist and will follow an intervention algorithm developed by a team of dating abuse and brief intervention experts. The research design is as follows: the investigators will randomize youth ages 15-19 to one of two groups: one group who receives the intervention (N=~180), and the other which does not (N=~180). The investigators will compare changes in outcomes from baseline to 6-month follow-up for those in both groups. The investigators will be looking at outcomes including dating abuse-related knowledge, attitudes about the use of violence to resolve conflict, and dating abuse behavior (perpetration and/or victimization).
Statement of study hypothesis: Youth who receive the intervention will show improvements in dating abuse-related knowledge, attitudes and behavior that are maintained for 6 months, while those in the comparison group will show no similar change.

Less than 1 percent of Douglas County students drop out of school each year, but six Castle View High School students aim to drop that figure lower still.
They've proposed an apprenticeship program designed to keep at-risk students in high school while they learn a trade. Douglas County School District officials are working with them to make that idea a reality.
The program was inspired by the Center for Civic Education's Project Citizen, which urges middle and high school students to learn about public policymaking through projects. Its focus on empathy and critical thinking dovetailed with the goals of a sophomore-level class taught by Castle View's Michael Schneider and Christina Classen.
Six of those students, now juniors, saw a need among their peers.
"We came up with the idea of helping students that are struggling in school find a way to have success in life," student Madeline Morgan said. "These are our fellow classmates; we definitely care about them."
For at-risk students, success doesn't necessarily entail post-secondary education.
"Just because Douglas County is a prestigious school district, college is not really for everyone," student Gregory Connelly said.
"They feel like to have to make their own opportunities and find help themselves," junior Lane Steas said. "It's not offered to them, like it would be to other students."
"This is not exactly helping them be on a college track, but helping them to succeed even without a college degree," Morgan agreed. "You definitely still can be a helpful member of society without having a degree."
The students presented their idea at the spring 2013 Colorado Project Citizen contest at the Colorado Capitol, earning a second place. At the invitation of Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen, they repeated that presentation to the DCSD cabinet.
Two of the district's top officials, director of operations and maintenance Bo Bacon and chief operations officer Bill Moffitt, now are working with the student team, hoping to begin implementing the program with the 2013-14 academic year.
While students hope to rally businesses from throughout the county to offer apprenticeships, potential apprentices may not have to look far. DCSD's own employees may take them under their wings.
"Our operations and maintenance department consists of professionals that are electricians, heating and cooling (specialists), plumbers," Bacon said. "They are willing to take on this responsibility."
The Castle View effort may serve as a pilot for a future districtwide apprentice program.
Schneider and Classen are proud of and amazed by the students and their project, particularly since the class that sparked the idea has long since ended.
"I think that's what really makes these kids special," he said. "No longer are they doing something for the class. They're doing something in all truth for somebody else, because it's something they found they had a passion for."
"We want kids to find their passion, to think bigger than themselves," Classen said. "I am so incredibly proud of these kids. This is what makes teaching worthwhile."

This marks the first tournament win for You and his fifth top 10 finish. His best previous finish was 2nd place at the Coyote Classic in February of 2013. Ironically, it was also the last time he shot 69.
As a team, the Red Storm jumped from seventh place yesterday to a 3rd place finish. They shot 286 today to finish with an 878 in the 54-hole event.
British Columbia, which was third after 36 holes Monday, shot 9-under par 279, the best round of the tourney, to win by five strokes at 867. Sonoma State was second at 872 (285).
You won the tournament by one stroke over Sonoma State's Alex Marry (69=207). Montana State Billings' Brad Harrelson was third at 212 (74), with Kelly and UBC' Scott Secord (70) tied for fourth at 214.
You began the day as the leader with a one-shot advantage over Marry and Harrelson.
Helping the Red Storm make their move was Hayden Christensen (Vancouver, WA/Hockinson) (222) and Jesse Porch (Florence/Hamilton), (229) who each carded even-par 72's. Christensen finished tied for 18th and Porch tied for 39th.
Sandwiched in between the two for DSU, was Cody Wass (West Haven, UT/Fremont) (226), who shot 75 and finished tied for 27th. Skylar Schone (Washington, UT/Pine View) (230) shot a final round 73 and tied for 40th place.
The Red Storm have two weeks off before they travel to the Chico State Wildcat Invitational on Oct. 7 and 8 in Corning, Calif. at the Serviallano Links Golf Club.

Beautiful Loafers!
"Everyone should have "Blue Suede" Shoes! They are so cool looking with the "Bedazzle Stones" They do run narrow. I got the 8.5 and they kind of puckered on the sides. Maybe because I have Flat feet. But nothing shoe insoles and heel pads couldn't fix. I can still wear thin socks or go barefoot .I might go to the store and try another size but then I think they would be too small. They look good! I really like them. I'm surprise there weren't any reviews they are so cool!"

Not what I thought
"The shoe doesn't look like it does in the picture. The taupe color is darker than the picture, and the gold studs look more yellow and are a lot brighter. The style of the shoe is adorable, I just can't figure out what to wear with them with the way the colors are. Unfortunately I may have to return them..."

Love it
"I usually wear 7.5 however because this ran a bit wide I exchanged it for a 7. I should add that I do not have narrow feet. All in all, I love them. I got them in navy for myself and my mom."

Skip to comments.Hilaire Belloc: The Great and Enduring Heresy of Mohammed [Chilling Clairvoyance]
Posted on 10/18/2003 1:02:52 PM PDT by nwrep
by Hilaire Belloc
Chapter Four
The Great and Enduring Heresy of Mohammed
It might have appeared to any man watching affairs in the earlier years of the seventh century_say from 600 to 630_that only one great main assault having been made against the Church, Arianism and its derivatives, that assault having been repelled and the Faith having won its victory, it was now secure for an indefinite time.
Christendom would have to fight for its life, of course, against outward unchristian things, that is, against Paganism. The nature worshippers of the high Persian civilization to the east would attack us in arms and try to overwhelm us. The savage paganism of barbaric tribes, Scandinavian, German, Slav and Mongol, in the north and centre of Europe would also attack Christendom and try to destroy it. The populations subject to Byzantium would continue to parade heretical views as a label for their grievances. But the main effort of heresy, at least, had failed_so it seemed. Its object, the undoing of a united Catholic civilization, had been missed. The rise of no major heresy need henceforth be feared, still less the consequent disruption of Christendom.
By A.D. 630 all Gaul had long been Catholic. The last of the Arian generals and their garrisons in Italy and Spain had become orthodox. The Arian generals and garrisons of Northern Africa had been conquered by the orthodox armies of the Emperor.
It was just at this moment, a moment of apparently universal and permanent Catholicism, that there fell an unexpected blow of overwhelming magnitude and force. Islam arose_quite suddenly. It came out of the desert and overwhelmed half our civilization.
Islam_the teaching of Mohammed_conquered immediately in arms. Mohammed's Arabian converts charged into Syria and won there two great battles, the first upon the Yarmuk to the east of Palestine in the highlands above the Jordan, the second in Mesopotamia. They went on to overrun Egypt; they pushed further and further into the heart of our Christian civilization with all its grandeur of Rome. They established themselves all over Northern Africa; they raided into Asia Minor, though they did not establish themselves there as yet. They could even occasionally threaten Constantinople itself. At last, a long lifetime after their first victories in Syria, they crossed the Straits of Gibraltar into Western Europe and began to flood Spain. They even got as far as the very heart of Northern France, between Poitiers and Tours, less than a hundred years after their first victories in Syria_in A.D. 732.
They were ultimately thrust back to the Pyrenees, but they continued to hold all Spain except the mountainous north-western corner. They held all Roman Africa, including Egypt, and all Syria. They dominated the whole Mediterranean west and east: held its islands, raided and left armed settlements even on the shores of Gaul and Italy. They spread mightily throughout Hither Asia, overwhelming the Persian realm. They were an increasing menace to Constantinople. Within a hundred years, a main part of the Roman world had fallen under the power of this new and strange force from the Desert.
Such a revolution had never been. No earlier attack had been so sudden, so violent or so permanently successful. Within a score of years from the first assault in 634 the Christian Levant had gone: Syria, the cradle of the Faith, and Egypt with Alexandria, the mighty Christian See. Within a lifetime half the wealth and nearly half the territory of the Christian Roman Empire was in the hands of Mohammedan masters and officials, and the mass of the population was becoming affected more and more by this new thing.
Mohammedan government and influence had taken the place of Christian government and influence, and were on the way to making the bulk of the Mediterranean on the east and the south Mohammedan.
We are about to follow the fortunes of this extraordinary thing which still calls itself Islam, that is, "The Acceptation" of the morals and simple doctrines which Mohammed had preached.
I shall later describe the historical origin of the thing, giving the dates of its progress and the stages of its original success. I shall describe the consolidation of it, its increasing power and the threat which it remained to our civilization. It very nearly destroyed us. It kept up the battle against Christendom actively for a thousand years, and the story is by no means over; the power of Islam may at any moment re-arise.

Matilda told such Dreadful Lies,
It made one Gasp and Stretch one's Eyes;
Her Aunt, who, from her Earliest Youth,
Had kept a Strict Regard for Truth,
Attempted to Believe Matilda:
The effort very nearly killed her,
And would have done so, had not She
Discovered this Infirmity.
For once, towards the Close of Day,
Matilda, growing tired of play,
And finding she was left alone,
Went tiptoe to the Telephone
And summoned the Immediate Aid
Of London's Noble Fire-Brigade.
Within an hour the Gallant Band
Were pouring in on every hand,
From Putney, Hackney Downs, and Bow
With Courage high and Hearts aglow
They galloped, roaring through the Town,
'Matilda's House is Burning Down!'
Inspired by British Cheers and Loud
Proceeding from the Frenzied Crowd,
They ran their ladders through a score
Of windows on the Ball Room Floor;
And took Peculiar Pains to Souse
The Pictures up and down the House,
Until Matilda's Aunt succeeded
In showing them they were not needed;
And even then she had to pay
To get the Men to go away! . . . .
It happened that a few Weeks later
Her Aunt was off to the Theatre
To see that Interesting Play
The Second Mrs Tanqueray.
She had refused to take her
Niece To hear this entertaining Piece:
A Deprivation Just and Wise
To Punish her for Telling Lies.
That Night a Fire did break out -
You should have heard Matilda Shout!
You should have heard her Scream and Bawl,
And throw the window up and call
To People passing in the Street -
(The rapidly increasing Heat
Encouraging her to obtain
Their confidence) - but all in vain!
For every time She shouted 'Fire!'
They only answered 'Little Liar'!
And therefore when her Aunt returned,
Matilda, and the House, were Burned.
Other great poems and illustrations in Belloc's Cautionary Tales for Children.
Vindication for General Boykin! Amen General Boykin never be afraid to speak the truth; however, it will get you censored by the American media and the Arab Amercian Council.
NOT TRUE! You sure fell for heresy genefromjersey!
Belloc was just a
proto-tin foil wearing nut
who viewed the world in
conspiracy terms.
Today, probably, he'd be
working for LaRouche:
"Now almost forgotten, Distributism was a composite of several social and moral theories first articulated by Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874-1936) and Hilaire Belloc (1870-1953) in the pages of volume 2 of The New Age. The initial concepts arose from the four-way (and more) argument among H.G.Wells, George Bernard Shaw, Belloc and Chesterton over modernity ... That discussion, now known as "the Chesterbelloc" contoversy, helped Belloc and Chesterton develop a rationale for equitable distribution of property and restoration of worker control in commerce, agriculture, and industry. This cluster of ideas, soon called "Distributism," was based on the two mens look back, to European history, as well as their concerns about the present and the future of mass industrial society. ... As Distributism looked to the past for a model of a simpler, kinder, gentler world, it began to focus on what it saw as the abuses of international finance in causing wars, famine, and disruption in social relations. Steeped in European cultural and religious attitudes as they were, it was not a big step for some Distributists to believe in a conspiracy of international Jewish finance responsible for the social chaos caused by both capitalism and socialism. Chesterton, Belloc, Eliot and Ezra Pound were among those who succumbed to this viewpoint at various times."
[Distributism, by Carol DeBoer-Langworthy]
However, I take exception to the following comment.
"No fragment of Islam ever abandons its sacred book, its code of morals, its organized system of prayer, its simple doctrine."
I think this is not true. It's just that when a Muslim converts, he is not very vocal about it, because the Islamists will kill him if they can. And my guess is that there are a lot of Muslim's questioning the bloodthirstyness of their religion these days.
So, in a world were
we are fighting nut Muslims
who've had their beliefs
perverted for war,
you support the perversion
of Christ for the same?!
Written in 1938! I agree, General Boykin is speaking TRUTH and the Arab American Council is out to stop truth!
My prayer is that General Boykin will "keep his composure though a whole world rages...cherishes his well reasoned convictions though a whole world persecutes...speaks the truth though all others prevaricate...such a one is, of all adventurers, the bravest and the noblest." (Hebrew Prayer Book)
"for we need a mighty faith to praise HIM (The LORD of Lords, KING of Kings, Ruler of the Universe in Great Majesty - Melech in Hebrew - THE LIVING LORD GOD OF ISRAEL)when we walk among men who mock at HIS WORD; we need endless trust to be patient in the vale of tears and we must find the strength to answer HIM when HE calls us to HIS work." IT MATTERS!
The Soviets and
Khmer Rouge believed such stuff.
Civilized to you?!
We might note that the "Arian Heresy" is known as a heresy only on the word of it's opposition which won the "war".
Then, along comes Mohammed, who failed to conduct universal conquest, so his gnostic tradition became known as a different religion rather than just another Christian heresy, which it was.
And if anybody missed it, all of these guys used armed conquest to advance the cause of their respective religions, or heresies, or orthodoxies.
It's truly incredible that we will be joined later on by folks who believe that only Islam has ever used armed might to force conversions.
There has ALWAYS BEEN a physical Symbol of "Islamic Faith" in Mecca--the STONE!
Remove "The Stone," & Let's see "What's Left!!!"
The Dark Ages begin about 538 AD. It had absolutely nothing to do with the Ottoman Empire which didn't come around for another 800+ years!
In fact, the Dark Ages are so dark that we know about their "early years" from few sources. One source are ancient Irish royal annals (from which we derive our "King Arthur" stories). Another source are tree rings. The suggestion is that the weather turned very nasty for about a decade. This resulted in the death of almost everybody in Northern and Western Europe as well as the loss of all ancient knowlege. Southern Europe fared better, but "better" does not mean "well", just "better". There was general economic collapse throughout the Mediterranean, Central Asia, Western Europe (to the extent there was any economy at all), China and so on.
Some folks came out of the Dark Ages sooner than others. The Chinese, for example, survived through total collapse for a mere 300 years. Byzentium (the city itself) seems to have had total collapse for only 84 years ~ of course they ended up fairly alone in the world for a long while.
The Western Arabian peninsula seems to have begun recovery within just a few decades! We know they recovered because they had this interesting story about Mohammad and messages from God when they conquered Damascus and kicked out the decadent Persian regime. They then went on to recover as much ancient knowlege as they could, and once contact with India was made, they expanded the scope of the Indian knowledge base (which is, among other things, the number system we now use).
The Ottoman Empire did not yet exist while this recovery was going on.
Finally, about 1000 AD Western Europe recovered economically, but not socially. That's when the Age of Jihad began! Europeans had armed knights who lived under monastic orders (for a start), wore crosses into all battles, etc., etc., etc. It was truly horrible. In the end they conquered just about the whole world. Until oil was discovered in the Middle East most Western Europeans didn't care one way or the other about Islam.
You might try cruising through some of their websites concerning the matter.
They can quite readily trace their origins to Jerusalem itself, right into the Temple!
Say what??
For example, when the Britons began relocating to Brittany (to escape Anglo-Saxon barbarians then invading their homeland) they discovered that there were no people living there although this had been one of the most populated, progressive and productive regions in the Western Roman Empire.
This was a common situation throughout Northern and Western Europe. Note that the Dark Ages begin about 538! Some claim they began precisely that year, or in 535. We really don't know because they lost track of their calender at that time!
There was massive loss of records. In fact, there was massive loss of everything. Life was never the same after that time.
Did you imagine that people just forgot how to do stuff and retreated to a neolithic lifestyle?
People died in large numbers. The survivors faced a far less populated world. It took Europe half a millenium to begin to recover!
The Mohammedan temper was not tolerant. It was, on the contrary, fanatical and bloodthirsty. It felt no respect for, nor even curiosity about, those from whom it differed. It was absurdly vain of itself, regarding with contempt the high Christian culture about it. It still so regards it even today.
Millions of modern people of the white civilization_that is, the civilization of Europe and America_have forgotten all about Islam. They have never come in contact with it. they take for granted that it is decaying, and that, anyway, it is just a foreign religion which will not concern them. It is, as a fact, the most formidable and persistent enemy which our civilization has had, and may at any moment become as large a menace in the future as it has been in the past.
Still, you don't believe any of them do you? Frankly, I have my own doubts about the Rome business.
The bad work begun at the Reformation is bearing its final fruit in the dissolution of our ancestral doctrines the very structure of our society is dissolving.Like Adolf Hitler did, he ascribes communism to Jews as though it were something in their blood that would bring on conspiratorial evils to Christendom:
In the place of the old Christian enthusiasms of Europe there came, for a time, the enthusiasm for nationality, the religion of patriotism. But self-worship is not enough, and the forces which are making for the destruction of our culture, notably the Jewish Communist propaganda from Moscow, have a likelier future before them than our old-fashioned patriotism.And an early enemy of Jewish settlement in their old homelands:
There has been bloodshed under the French mandate more than once and it will be renewed[2]; while under the English mandate the forcing of an alien Jewish colony upon Palestine has raised the animosity of the native Arab population to white heat. Meanwhile a ubiquitous underground Bolshevist propaganda is working throughout Syria and North Africa continually, against the domination of Europeans over the original Mohammedan population.
I'm not sure it's all that useful. To me it seems more like an argument that some forms of tyranny need to be continued because there's an outside threat. And there were people who knew better about the Jews in the 1930s. I don't claim to understand anti-semitism, but I think it's a confluence of misunderstanding Christianity's origins in Judaism, raw xenophobia, and simple scapegoatism. It never had any merit. FDR should never have turned away the St. Louis, and it's an embarassing mark on our history that he did.
By the way, the Japanese were preaching anti-semitism (i.e. blaming "the international Jew") before and during WWII, as well.
In any case, the Belloc clearly doesn't get why the west has been so successful: it's because we've abandoned irrationalism. He blames our supposedly impending downfall (in 1939 this would have been easy) on the abandonment of tradition. This is a very anti-American, anti-modern, and superstitious. How familiar, as we hear that sort of thing today.
The west will survive the current Islamic threat without this guy's alarmist advice.

Municipal Services
Recology provides a wide range of resource recovery services to residential, commercial, and municipal customers in the Western United States.
New data shows reuse, recycling, and composting are more helpful at protecting the environment than previously known, and Recology is proud to continue to lead the industry in these service offerings.
Servicing Communities
Many local governments struggle with how to achieve their economic and environmental goals. Often they want to do more towards making the planet a livable place for future generations but don't know how.
Recology takes a practical approach to waste reduction, recycling and landfill diversion. We partner with communities to prevent at least 50% of their "waste" from going to landfills.
At Recology we find ways to make it possible for communities to do more through food scrap and yard trimming recycling, and construction and demolition debris reuse programs. With a solid history and reputation as a problem-solver, we continue launching successful, affordable, and effective residential and commercial recycling programs in communities of all sizes.
Recology also invests in infrastructure for material recovery operations so that communities can achieve their long-term sustainability objectives. We provide waste reduction consultation, recycling and reuse opportunities that expand local waste services beyond materials recovery, collection and disposal. We can help communities recover energy through anaerobic digestion and harness landfill gas as a renewable energy source.
As Recology, we are aiming not only at recovering the valuable and finite natural resources that we depend on, but also at wasting nothing. We are committed to offering these types of sustainable programs and services to the communities we service in the interest preserving the environment for all to enjoy.
Zero Waste
Until every product is designed to be reused, recycled, composted or otherwise recovered, we will not have zero waste. This is why we emphasize WASTE ZERO resource recovery practices.
To begin the journey to zero waste, every community, business and resident needs to understand what kinds of "waste" they generate. Through our customized programs, we help to reduce your costs and understand your impacts.
Contact us to find out what we can offer to your community.

The lazy final days of August mark the unofficial end of summer, but this year are also the closing of a simpler era of derivatives trading.
That's what fund managers are complaining about, the Financial Times reports, in the remaining days before the Sept. 9 implementation of section VII of the Dodd-Frank bill that will require derivative reforms for mutual and pension funds.
Here are several complaints about the process from the article (hence the British spelling), from the sheer size of the undertaking to the remaining uncertainties:
"It's a challenge," says James Wallin, a senior vice-president on the fixed-income side with AllianceBernstein. "In a way, we're simply doing what we've been doing for listed futures for years. But it's difficult moving an asset class like over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives into a new framework. If we didn't have the existing model for the futures markets to look to, things would have been even more difficult."
Lanny Schwartz, a lawyer with Davis Polk who specialises in regulatory matters, agrees: "It's astronomically difficult to comply with these rules whether you are a swaps dealer or a financial type of entity."
"We only have rules from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission so far. So we aren't able to plan or finalise what our structures are going to be," says a senior manager responsible for compliance at a Wall Street bank who asked not to be named. [Reforms do not include security-based swaps, overseen by the Securities and Exchange Commission.]
On the surface, this may seem like general whining, and there is very likely some element to that. Indeed, the original rationale for the changes was to standardize the process and make it less opaque, as well as protect investors, not unworthy goals.
Yet as the article notes, there may be some basis to the gripes, as managers say that putting more money on margin up front will eat up valuable liquid working capital on a daily basis and it may be difficult to find a cleared derivative product to pair up with more unusual risks. And in the short-term costs are likely to rise as firms move to adhere to the regulations.

Written by: Director Robert Groves
Yesterday I met with the state of Ohio Complete Count Committee in Columbus. Like all CCCs, they've taken on the job of getting the word out about the census – in this case to all the diverse groups in the state. One great idea they're pursuing involves college students, a group that is traditionally undercounted. Based on past censuses, college students sometimes a) think they're being counted in the parents' home (not the rules of the census), and b) find they're too busy to remember to complete the form. College students should be counted where they usually live, whether that's in a dormitory or off-campus housing.
The Ohio Complete Count Committee plans to use universities' email services to alert all students on the email system to complete their forms at their usual residence. This sounds like a good idea and we're hopeful it will nudge students toward participation.
The Boston census office told me about a competition among the many universities in that city to determine which school has the highest return rate of completed questionnaires. This idea also sounds promising.
Now, if we can get Mom and Dad not to feel compelled to include their college kids back at their house!

Pam Ann: One World Alliance
Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2007
This show has not yet got a description.
Older Comments
Andy Barr - 20/08/2007
A fastmoving show and completely camp. The send up of BA was so true to life to anyone who has flown with them. The bitchy character she portrayed was like a motormouth Dame Edna. Unfortunately the show was ruined by the "hilarious" Singaporean bit which which if it wasn't racism was certainly ill conceived. Sadly this was the bit that the heavily middle aged audience seemed to find the funniest. Jim Davidson at the fringe next year being "ironic" seems likely
Karl O\'Leary - 14/03/2007
Utterly hilarious - delightfully un-PC and completely camp! I loved her!

Bass Assassin Rail Worm 7" 10pk
The Bass Assassin Rail Worm features a curly tail that waves and flaps enticingly with the slightest movement or current. Texas-rig it, drop shot it, Carolina-rig it or fish it on a jig head, the Bass Assassin Rail Worm is also infused with BANG Fish Attractant. Rendered from live bait fish, BANG utilizes highly concentrated, natural oils to draw fish in and make them hold on longer. Available in a range of colors, the Bass Assassin Rail Worm is perfect for those times when you need a little more action than a standard straight tail worm can provide.

Comments: The Bass down here at Falcon Lake love this worm on a Carolina Rig. This worm also works great flipped into the heavy brush. This has become my favorite plastic worm, it works anywhere. P.S. The Catfish love it also, caught a 45 pound Blue Cat flippin the brush
