Hey guys, I've learned that Hifiman has unveiled a new flagship in-ear and noticed no talk about it whatsoever. I have no clue what to expect from them, but thought it would be good to get a thread going for them.
What do you guys think of the looks first off?
And do share whatever you know about these if you can!
(edit) It appears Fang is also releasing the RE-400, not sure how much those will be, but apparently the RE-600 will be about 500$ usd.

Have you ever wondered how the Christmas season of December can be so warm, yet January so cold? I'm not referring to physical temperatures, but to the fluctuating temperature of the heart.
The emotions and spirit of a season seem to bite the dust soon after the holidays pass by. Over-spending in December can cause financial misery in January and that misery can take on a negative expression.
There are many reasons, perhaps excuses is a better word, why human nature reverts back to an "I, Me" state of mind. Once a person has shown that they can reach out with a spirit of giving and love, then there is no excuse or reason that holds water when the unpleasant winds of January blow.
Perhaps, if the word, "love" was written on each day of the calendar, then there might be a more consistent expression of love and good cheer. Just saying.

The safety of students attending Huntington Elementary has been an ongoing concern for several years. Huntington City Council met on March 16 in a public hearing to discuss safety issues.
This public hearing was for the purpose of gathering input related to installing a parking lot area at 40 North 45 East Center, where the old maintenance shop building is located presently. The idea behind this proposal is to provide parking for faculty and staff at Huntington Elementary, and alleviate the parking and traffic congestion that is currently being felt on 100 North.
Huntington Elementary Principal Tom Baltzer stated that a major concern is the congestion in front of the school and surrounding the post office. Many near-miss accidents have happened during peak hours when parents are dropping off or picking up students. The designated drop off/pick up area is on 100 East, and many parents do not use the designated zone.
Emery County School Superintendent Kirk Sitterud stated that he appreciates Huntington City's eagerness to solve the problems surrounding the congestion. The district has studied the proposals outlined by Huntington, and the district is also investigating other possibilities, including a faculty and staff parking lot to the east of the school.
Marie Guymon Johnson stated that the area where the old maintenance shop is located will hold approximately 20 cars, and the number of cars that are parking on 100 North is twice that number. It was her opinion that the area in question is not large enough to accommodate faculty and staff parking.
Supt. Sitterud suggested forming a committee composed of Huntington City and school district personnel whose duties would be to do a hands-on study of the locations and compose a list of all possibilities. When more final proposals are reached, the findings can be brought before the council at the council meeting in April. It is Sitterud's hope that solutions will be found and be implemented before school starts in the fall. "We are more concerned with solving this problem than ever before. It has been a problem for many years and we want to solve this now," said Sitterud.
The second agenda item of the public hearing was for comments on a proposed amendment to Chapter 4 of the zoning ordinance related to mobile and manufactured homes within Huntington City. Councilman Norm Dingman explained that the current ordinance contains some vague and confusing language and this ordinance will clarify those issues.
Councilman Dingman also explained several updates proposed to be entered into the ordinance. Councilman Bob Mills raised the question of moving buildings and pointed out that the proposal contains some unclear wording. Mayor Wilson said the city's lawyer will review and clarify any questions.
One resident on hand for the public hearing stated his agreement with the portion of the ordinance concerning pre-1976 mobile homes. He stated that mobile homes constructed prior to 1976 do not meet fire or safety codes, and it is his opinion that the city is doing the right thing to eliminate those mobile homes.
The other public hearing was to gather comments from residents concerning the projects to be completed with funds from the Community Development Block Grant.
Councilperson Julie Jones stated that the equipment list that was on the initial grant application was a water fountain, eight tables, three trash receptacles, two bike racks, and several games such as volleyball and tetherball. These items may be changed in the final application depending on the comments from this public hearing. Jones said that landscaping and fencing will not be obtained from the CDBG funds in this round.
One comment from a resident was that the tables seemed to be expensive, but that they were very well made and would last many years. Mayor Jackie Wilson stated that the tables are similar to the ones at Little Bear Campground. With no additional public comment the public hearing was closed.

The Magical Time Before The Instigator Rule
Jonathan Willis
March 28 2012 10:25AM
Show any hard hit on a star player, or any cheap shot, and someone is bound to talk about the need to dump the instigator rule. They may reference the magical time before the instigator rule was implemented, generally in a 'back when men were men and rats were hunted down and killed' sort of way.
It's self-delusion, of course.
So I did a quick Google News archives search for "NHL cheap shot," confining myself to the decade prior to the stringent enforcement of the instigator rule. I got 29 pages of results, and I've found video for a bunch of them. Let's review the tape.
This is 5'9" scoring forward Brian Propp of the Philadelphia Flyers (commonly known as the "Broad Street Bullies") taking a hit from Chris Chelios in May 1989. The Flyers met Montreal in the Conference Finals, and unlike now teams dressed enforcers in the playoffs. A quick look at the Flyers roster shows a long list of tough customers, from skilled muscle like Rick Tocchet at the top down to Craig Berube and Al Secord at the bottom.
And here's Dave Brown – a 6'5" enforcer who would later ply his trade in Edmonton – crosschecking Tomas Sandstrom early in 1988-89. Sandstrom had been the New York Rangers' second-leading scorer the previous season.
I couldn't find video on the third incident – one that Sabres' head coach Rick Dudley described as a "cheap shot" on star forward Pat Lafontaine – but I've included the piece that ran in the New York Times on the incident below. It's worth noting that the Sabres had three guys with 300+ PIM that year.
And here's Montreal enforcer Chris Nilan, "playing" against the "Big, Bad" Bruins. The player he butt-ends in the face is Boston captain Rick Middleton, one of the cleanest players in the game and a long-time scorer for the Bruins (over a 1005-game NHL career spanning the 70's and 80's, Middleton recorded just 157 PIM).
Then there's this article from August 1988, entitle "NHL refuses to let brightest stars shine." The whole article is behind a pay wall, but here are two paragraphs from the free preview:
I've also included first this sucker punch and then cross-check from Wendel Clark on Slava Fetisov. The first incident was apparently unprovoked, while the second came about after Fetisov tried to take Clark out at the knees. Was Clark sending a message by hammering a star player or was Fetisov earning himself space by exacting vengeance on Clark or was Clark protecting himself from a dirty hit with a thoroughly understandable cross-check to the face before delivering the knockout blow?
Hey, some Oilers content! Here's Edmonton goon Troy Mallette elbowing Pat Lafontaine in the face shortly after Lafontaine's return from the Macoun cheap shot discussed above. Once again, keep in mind the Sabres have three guys who would collect 300+ PIM that season; Jay Wells, who pursues Mallette on the ice picked up 157 PIM in 41 games before being dealt away by Buffalo.
There's plenty of other incidents in the archives, questions about who the best cheap-shot artist in the NHL is (including a player poll with that very question), complaints about guys taking cheap shots with sticks because they wear visors, Wayne Gretzky asking the NHL to outlaw fighting, and plenty of other fun stuff. Not only did I not look past the first five pages, I've omitted a bunch of stuff.
All of this was going on before the NHL started cracking the instigator rule whip. Disrespect, hard hits on good players, and flat-out thuggery hasn't crept into the game because of the instigator rule. If anything, the NHL's cleaner today with modern-day goons in the mold of Nilan and Mallette and Brown fighting for their existence. Because here's the thing: the guys whose careers are disappearing thanks to the instigator rule are, by and large, the same guys who elbow stars in the face or feed them the butt end of a stick.
Players policing themselves doesn't work. There's a long, long, long track record proving that very thing. People who say otherwise are only fooling themselves.
I don't like the structure of this article and find it extremely misleading.
Firing the topic of cheap-shots like a shot-gun blast across all the eras of hockey without context.
First why did you neglect the 60s and early 70s? Did cheap shots happen? Sure but this was the real era when every player, as they had for decades took care of themselves. Bobby Orr, Bobby Hull, Espositio and on and on all were big men who played the game well and fought.
Hockey was simply a big man's game and it was a tough game.
Then the most pivotal moment in the history of the game. The event that changed everything. The 1972 Summit Series when the Soviets came in and literally schooled Canada on a whole new way of playing the game.
From this point the NHL started to change. No longer were smaller skilled players overlooked, no longer were all players expected to be tough and able to take care of themselves.
Skilled players started to come into the NHL in waves in the mid to late 70s and the goal scoring eras opened up, but now the enforcer came along with them, he was needed, a new kind of player that had little to no hockey skill and whose only function was to protect the star players. to deliver cheap shots if you will.
The NHL was in transition and this is when the voices to ban Fighting were correct and it made sense. When you have players who can not even play the game on the ice, an issue is at hand.
The NHL continued to evolve, helmets were made mandatory, no longer did you see players with out them eventually. Cheap shots in the past were often much worse than they are today, not better. The game has improved and gotten safer.
Of course we all know players played through concussions in the past and the latest outrage of Keith's elbow on Sedin would have not even gotten much more than a shrug in the 80s and Sedin would probably be playing through his concussion symptoms.
The game has gotten safer but the problem is still there and others are appearing.
Diving and embellishment has reached higher and higher levels and we will see even more this playoffs. Stick work is also becoming much, much more frequent and is often not even detected. Purposeful stickwork to the faces. Players are taking less responsibility for their safety by turning their backs going into the boards. The game is faster and the force of contact has much greater impact.
The game has evolved, whether you like it or not. To root out players who cheap shot might require a much more precise definition of what you mean. Putting up a bunch of videos from the old eras without even the context that elbowing used to be a 2 min penalty is not fair.
The so-called cheap shot that Keith gave Sedin was nothing more than a 2 min elbowing call in the 70s.
I don't think this article is fair because it uses the term 'cheap shots' as a blanket term across eras when its tolerance has dropped to such a low level today that elbowing is considered a cheap shot worth 20 games instead of the 2 min it was worth in the 70s.
What I see is that not much has changed over the past thirty years - do people really think that a 2 minute for instigating penalty has induced a massive change in "The Code" of hockey violence and retribution? I think what has been said already about things like OHL initiatives where reckless hits cost players a season and likely a career are far more likely to alter "The Code", as those kinds of players get rooted out earlier. But we are talking about big strong highly competitive men in highly charged atmospheres doing impulsive things and that happens in every sport. As was previously writted, suspendably offences are being committed by the Skinners and Ovechkins in the league. Instigator rule or not: impulsive injurious hits are going to happen.
March 28 2012, 05:42PM
Sorry about that, I did realize afterwards stats was a bad word to use. Bottom line is that if the opposing team has a guy that can and will beat the snot out of you if you did something out of line, you are less inclined to do so IMO.
Jason Gregor posted a great article after interviewing former NHLer Perry Berezan last friday. The following quote taken from that article and straight from the mouth of Berezan speaks volumes to this subject:
"And that whole needling, the old Oiler team, if you even looked at Gretzky the wrong way, every single player that came off that bench for the rest of the game would threaten to kill you. So that mentality that the old Oiler team had made it impossible for anyone ‑‑besides a guy like Neil Sheehy, I guess he was the biggest pest at that time for Wayne Gretzky ‑‑ but it made everyone think twice about doing something to those star players."
I do realize he specifically points out that Neil Sheehy would be unaffected by the fact that retribution would be coming, but it can't be said that the rest of the players did not take notice.
It would appear your arguement is that if you were to take Sheehy and Semenko out of the game the cheap shots would leave with them? I don't see how relevant that is. Look at the last 10 suspensions handed out: Duncan Keith, Shane Doan, Jeff Skinner, Tyler Myers, Mike Green, Zac Rinaldo, Alex Ovechkin, and Andrew Ference.
Only Rinaldo could be considered a "goon" out of that group IMO.
In the end, cheap shots are going to happen whether the goons are playing or not. This is also why I believe one of the most sought after commodities right now in the NHL is a Milan Lucic type. It just my opinion that some sort of deterence would be beneficial.
Duncan Keith got a 5 game vacation prior to the playoffs for possibly costing Vancouver a cup. He played the entire rest of the game and only received a couple of facewashes. What would have Dave Brown done? Would Keith have elbowed Sedin in the first place?
Did you read the article yesterday about the Boston Bruins' Savard injuries?
Lucic and Chara were on the ice.
Still cheap shot. And months later when he came back there was another. It did not prevent a darn thing.
The difference is this imo, in the past a cheap shot lead to a fight.
Now a cheap shot, leads to a retaliatory cheap shot. A stick to the face, a kill pass, whatever.
Player suppress the fight, drop the gloves instinct to plan to get back at the other player in what is a more dangerous way.
Take the Sedin - Keith incident. In the past Keith would have instantly dropped his gloves and Sedin would have been compelled to do the same. Little brush-up, off to the box for 5 min. End of issue.
Now Keith takes the shoulder hit to the head and suppresses the inclination to fight. He marks Sedin and will pick his moment later. Which is exactly what he did.
Imo, the stalking nature that happens now instead of the quick brush-up that could settle the affair is the issue.
The NHL has made leaps forward already in making hockey safer, the logic that was in place when the instigator rule was brought in made sense. Now as the goons leave the game, as the skill increases and GMs simply will not waste their roster space on pure enforcers it can continue to grow.
I am not sure if I agree on completely removing the instigator rule but having another look at it may be worth it.
March 28 2012, 07:13PM
You don't like the "structure" of the article because it is misleading?
Bobby Hull was 5'10", so slightly smaller than Sam Gagner. Hulking Phil Esposito topped out no bigger than Shawn Horcoff.
I'm just putting it out there, but maybe Willis' article just seems wrong to you because you don't have the right story?
March 28 2012, 07:24PM
@Jonathan Willis
As often as not, a fight serves to elevate matters, rather than settling them.
I don't think this can be said accurately based on a few examples over years of hockey where fights elevated matters. How do you know there aren't many more examples of fights ending the matter on the spot? Since these incidents typically don't make the news we can't know. It seems a bit disingenuous to use only sensationalized incidents as our entire data base.
I don't need to look at video from the old days.
The stick work back then was brutal.The oilers Green was an example.
What's happened with the equipment changes it has become roller derby.Players like Boll run at you without worrying about a charging penalty or a stick in the face.Boll doesn't care about a suspension while the skill players he runs don't want to get the stick up because they might get suspended.
The solution is the NHL to allow players to prorect themselves by raising their elbows and sticks against players who are charging them
March 28 2012, 08:07PM
When Kesler got hit by Kronwall he wanted to go, but Kronwall ran to the ref? Do you agree with that?
Do you think if your going to play a physical, borderline dirty game you shouldn't go sprinting to the ref when you make said play?
If enforcers aren't important in preventing dirty plays, even though I think they can be a deturrent, is the onus on the player receiving the hit to protect/stick up for himself?
What if the player who just took a run at you with his elbow runs to the ref after you decide to settle it? 2 minute roughing penalty?
The league shouldn't protect the Kronwall's imo, he should be accountable and realize the way he plays is going to make people act like Wendle Clark and just punch him in the head.
March 28 2012, 11:13PM
I'm basing it on my general sense from watching hockey over the years. It really doesn't seem like fights end these matters, from what I've seen.
Sure, but being "Young Willis" how many years can you possibly have been watching hockey?
As a more serious response - I'm sure you"re aware of the potential cognitive bias immediately evident in your answer. Especially when your argument is that everyone else has a cognitive bias.
@Randall Shermer
My story or perspective is not about the size as much as the fact that players or the old era would all fight. Now we have players who will not, players who skate away.
An injustice - real or imagined - can not be dealt with on the ice because many players will simply skate away. That started in the late 70s with the "protected" players bringing along their enforcers to take care of things.
1) I'm rolling video. It's hard enough to find video from the 80's, nevermind the 60's/70's. Furthermore, the 80's are a lot more recent and have more in common with today's game than earlier eras did - keep in mind the NHL was six teams until 1967, so we're not talking remotely the same thing.
2) Fetisov, in the videos above - he's the guy getting pummeled by Clark - was ripped mercilessly by Don Cherry for being an artist with his stick. Fetisov's stick work is the reason Paul Coffey started wearing a visor. He was hardly alone in this. The idea that stick work today is worse than it was in the 80's and 90's is ludicrous, particularly when presented without a shred of supporting evidence.
3) Every incident above was described as a "cheap shot" in the press at the time. I'm not making these judgement calls. The hockey media writing about them did. Regardless, your whole argument reinforces my primary point - the game is cleaner now, with an instigator rule in place, than it ever was with three enforcers per side patrolling the ice. You say the Keith elbow on Sedin was worth a 2 minute penalty in the '70s and that players played thru all sorts of terrible things - that's the whole point.
You missed my whole point.
You throw the term "cheap shot" around without context over 3 decades.
People read this article and the way you have presented your perspective is that "cheap shots" have always existed. The term has always existed, the extent of what we see on the ice has radically changed.
A purposeful elbow to Sedin is a cheap shot today, in the 70s it was a 2 min penalty.
I agree the game is overall safer now, mandatory helmets and the appearance of so many visors now may be another reason. I don't think holding the instigator rule up as the sole reason for the safer game that exists today is fair comment. There are several factors at play.
It may be part of it but it isn't the only thing. I also think fights in and of themselves are safer than "cheap shot" for "cheap shot" that we see in todays game.
I also disagree with your notion that fights serve to elevate matters rather than diffuse them. While you can certainly pull up single examples to counter me like the Moore incident, the vast majority of fights in todays game do not elevate matters, they diffuse on-ice tension and allow both teams to feel a matter is resolved.
Stating fights elevate tension rather than diffuse it ignores the vast majority of them and the vast majority of games they occur in. You are taking the small cases and presenting them as the whole.

Are you sure you're not thinking of a romanticized, "magical" past?
Dutch Reibel from all accounts I've see was a small guy who pretty much stuck to scoring. Reibel won Lady Byng and dropyourgloves.com lists only one fight. Gagner has more already. According to legendsofhockey.net one time Reibel played on a line with bruisers Howe and Terrible Ted Lindsay. dropyourgloves.com lists 47 fights in Reidel's year and the league leaders are classic allstars like Fern Flaman, Bert Olmstead, and Gust Mortson.
Its almost as if even in the good old days they had their non-fighting skill guys and some goons on patrol. But at least there weren't any cheap shots until those were invented in the 1970s.
March 29 2012, 08:24PM
Hi mom.
@ Jonathon Willis
Al Secord was a fairly skilled player who could also drop the mits to TCB. He was past his prime when he landed in Philadelphia, but I didn't think that the implication that he was even remotely equivalent to Craig Berube was all that accurate. Not the same class of player at all imo.
Propp was 'avenged' later in that series, wasn't he? Or was it a different year that Ron Hextall decided to try and murder Chelios?

Huskies fall in Craig
October 28, 2012
CRAIG – A cold Friday night up in Craig was the destination for the Battle Mountain football Huskies as it met Moffat County on the Bulldogs' Senior Night, which resulted in a 48-14 for the hosts, thanks to Bubba Ivers' three touchdowns.-
The Huskies were looking good in the first six minutes of the game as the offense was getting some first downs and making the Bulldogs punt on their first two possessions. The Bulldogs then came with a burst of energy, scoring three touchdowns in a time frame of 1:30.
Scoring for the Bulldogs was Jacob Teeter on an 11-yard run. Then, Michael Samuelson was also able to get an 11-yard run for a touchdown followed by an Ivers 44-yard score. At the end of the first quarter, the Bulldogs were dominating early 23-0.
At the start of the second quarter though the Huskies were fired up and quarterback Ben Maslan was able to connect with receiver Keenan Bowman for a 44-yard touchdown. The Huskies were on the board, trailing 23-7. Later in the second quarter, Bowman was able to pick off Ivers and get a decent return on the turnover.-
The momentum was changing for Huskies and on that interception they were in scoring territory until Maslan in turn was picked.-
The Bulldogs took advantage of that turnover and Samuelson would get a 9-yard touchdown right before the half. The score was 29-7 at the half, despite some good play by the Huskies.
The Bulldogs accounted for three touchdowns in the third quarter. Ivers shined in the second half running for a 65-yard touchdown and tossing a 40-yarder to Joe Camilletti. Also, Josh Pritchard was able to run it in for the Bulldogs on a 1-yarder.
There were still some positives for the Huskies in that third quarter because Blaize Olle had a big 41-yard run for the Huskies, and, then, in fourth quarter, he was able to get into the end zone on a 6-yard run.-
Moffat County Bulldogs (5-4 overall, and 3-4 league) faces Palisade Friday, while Battle Mountain (0-9, 0-7) will finish its season against the Glenwood Springs on the Huskies' Senior Night. Both kickoffs are at 7 p.m.

Málaga (mäˈlägä) [key], city (1990 pop. 560,495), capital of Málaga prov., S Spain, in Andalusia, on the Guadalmedina River and the Costa del Sol. Picturesquely situated on the Bay of Málaga, it is one of the best Spanish Mediterranean ports. Olives, almonds, dried fruits, Málaga wine, and iron ore are exported. Textiles and construction materials are produced. Málaga's mild climate and luxurious vegetation, as well as the beautiful beaches nearby, make it also a popular resort.
Founded (12th cent. B.C.) by the Phoenicians, the city passed to the Carthaginians, the Romans, the Visigoths, and finally (711) the Moors. It flourished from the 13th cent. as a seaport of the Moorish kingdom of Granada, until it fell to Ferdinand and Isabella in 1487. Although largely modern in aspect, the city has several historic buildings, including a cathedral begun in the 16th cent., the ruins of a Moorish alcazar, and an imposing citadel called the Gibralfaro. Picasso was born in Málaga, and there is a museum of his works.

Great pointed pump
"Bought these shoes in nude color and they are almost too beautiful to wear. I usually wear size 6.5 to 7, depends on different brand. I got size 7 because it is Pointed. It is comfortable to walk because there are lots of padding in it. The reason of 4 star instead of 5 is from my personal reason. My ankle is bigger than usual and the side of this pump is cut my ankle. I will recommend this product to a friend. Every women must have a pair of nude pointed pump in their closet. :)"

|Head Coach
|Alma Mater:
|Graduating Year:
After spending nine years working with the Columbia volleyball program in a multitude of roles, Brie Katz was promoted to Head Coach in January of 2014. She spent the previous three seasons as the Lions' Associate Head Coach and prior to that she was an assistant coach for six seasons.
During her first season on the bench in 2014, the Lions went 8-15 overall and tied for sixth in the Ivy League with a 4-10 mark against Ancient Eight opponents. She also led Columbia to the program's first victory over Penn at The Palestra and coached Bailey Springer to second-team All-Ivy Leauge honors.
In 2015, the Lions went 7-16 overall and were sixth in the Ivy League with a record of 5-9. Katz also led the team to their first win over Yale in 14 years. Senior Katarina Jovicic and Junior Cassie Wes each earned Second Team All-Ivy Honors, with Wes also capturing the Defensive Player of the Year Award.
Katz served three seasons as assistant coach of the Lions under Jon Wilson, after serving as the Acting Head Coach in 2007-08. Katz works with setters, handles on-court practice and game instruction, and assists with recruiting.
Katz, who graduated from the NCAA Women Coaches Academy in June of 2008, helped her 2007 squad earn an American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Team Academic Award. In May of 2008, she served as the assistant coach for a U.S. Collegiate team, which traveled to Europe to compete in a series of matches in Austria and Germany. The team, which included three players from the Ivy League, went 4-1.
Prior to her time at Columbia, Katz served as the setting coach for the Long Island Juniors Volleyball Club, coaching the setters on each of the six teams the club sponsors in 2004. Katz also participated in Long Island Volleyball's camps and clinics for five years, instructing players ranging from sixth grade to adult.
Katz was a four-year letterwinner at Hofstra University. She led the team to the conference tournament all four years, with the team winning the championship two times and advancing to the NCAA tournament. She was twice named first team All-Conference and first team All-Tournament and in 2000, was named American East Setter of the Year. In her senior season she was honored by the National Jewish Athletic Hall of Fame as an outstanding female athlete and was voted to the Verizon/CoSIDA Academic first team All-District.
Katz graduated cum laude from Hofstra in 2003 with a degree in business administration and finance. After graduation, Katz began working for Deloitte & Touche LLP, serving the securitization transactions team as an analyst.
Katz earned her master's in physical education and health education at Columbia's Teacher's College in May of 2007. She resides in Manhattan.

The fact that I only played it once and all the other FF games at least twice, proofs, that the quality dropped since FF-X.
And I completly agree with the bolded part in the qoute. In fact FF-XIII was the sole reason I decided to get an PS3 instead of the 360.

Philippa Perry, Grayson's wife, on looking for connections in
the exhibition Grayson Perry: The Tomb of the Unknown Craftsman
On the rare occasions when Grayson and I visit a shopping street together, his favourite place seems to be the charity shops. We go into one together and I look at everything and after about three minutes of finding nothing I long for fresh air and wait for him outside. He takes longer than me, he looks more carefully and comes out after a few more minutes with a rare book or a tweed jacket that somehow I managed to overlook. And when we take his finds back home it is as though we've always had them. They seem to have his handwriting on them.
When I saw his final selection from the British Museum this is what struck me. To me, it looked like the objects he chose could have been made by him – they had his personality already. It can be hard to know what he has made and what he has found until you look at the labels. For example, the tiny portable shrine he has chosen (Amulet with plaque, 'Tsa Tsa', Tibet 1800-99) reminds me of the one he made for the Tate gift shop in 2009 (Tate Modern Reliquary).
I asked him if 'Tsa Tsa' influenced his Tate gift shop reliquary, but no, he found it after he had made the pendant. Both these items are in the exhibition but they are not placed obviously side by side. I like this, it means that we look and let our minds make the connection; it is not done for us. This is not an exhibition to be rushed through. The more you look the more connections you can make.
Grayson won't necessarily make connections obvious: his pot 'Grumpy old God' is based on the Greek vases in the Museum but he has not included one from the Museum's collection. He asks us in a label not to look too closely for meaning. When he was selecting, he did it intuitively and he invites us to look at his selection in that way. But not looking for meaning does not mean not looking and noticing how things feels for us.
I am reminded of what Alain de Botton once said, which was something like don't go to Cambrey and look at where Proust lived with your eyes, but stay at home and look around you with Proust's eyes. If Grayson can pull out this stuff from the collection which seems so resonant of him, his style and his meanings…if objects in the Museum replicates the ages before Grayson made things – stuff that he went on to make before seeing it – then we know that not only Grayson's psyche is to be found in the British Museum, but all our psyches. We just have to take the time to look and have confidence in our personal reactions to what we see.
And I really mustn't rush outside when we visit charity shops but stay awhile to see if I too can find myself in an object there.

Do you think MH 370 will ever be found?
Hope so, for the families… but IDKReplyCancel
Yes, but that doesn't mean it will be any time soon.ReplyCancel
I doubt it. Sadly.ReplyCancel
Yes, but maybe a really long time from now. Hey, we found the Titanic!ReplyCancel
If the cargo hold wasn't full of gold, then no one will look for it after another couple months.
I think either aliens took the plane, because they need more subjects to anally probe, or the US gubment hijacked it, because they are running low on MK Ultra sex slaves to keep Congress happy. They all keep opening their veins after leaving Pelosi's office.ReplyCancel
Of course Courtney love is already on itReplyCancel
Never is a long time, but with the search starting to scale back I'm doubtful it will be any time soon. I could see where it might be found accidentally at some point. I do hope they find it for the sake of the families but also because the longer it stays missing the stranger the theories become about what happened to it.ReplyCancel
Define "found". Do "hundreds of pieces floating around and at the bottom of the ocean" count? Because that is a distinct possibility. I think they'll eventually turn up some parts, but I'm not optimistic about getting most of it. All depends on what happened, though.
My heart breaks for the families. Horrifying and heart-breaking. As bad as a deadly air crash can be, I cannot imagine the additional pain of this drawn-out event.ReplyCancel
I think it may be found eventually but I do not believe we will ever know the most important things: the WHY and exactly who changed course. It could take years like the Titanic or it could be like Amelia Earhart – her remains have not been found but it sounds like progress has been made in the last couple of years. So sad for the families.ReplyCancel
Echo what was said above about Titanic. It took us a very long time to find it, a huge boat that was broken in half but otherwise intact… and we had a pretty good idea of the area in which to look.
Since we don't know exactly what happened (every conspiracy loon and their brother appears to be an 'expert', but it's still just speculation), there's no guarantee that anything solid or larger than a placemat even returned to earth/the ocean, which is vast and deep. I don't have high hopes that we'll find anything.
I feel so badly for the families of all on board.ReplyCancel
@Eros, with all of the running in circles information, it really made a lot of the conspiracy theories quite viable.
Well except CNN's 'black hole' theory. That one, we can safely take off the table.
It will be interesting to see which Country blinks first, and ponies up with what their satellite capabilities are.
Until this happens, sadly, I dont' think we will ever find her.ReplyCancel
Yes. Probably not the whole plane, but definitely parts of it will surface…even if it's just a life vest or brochure that floats to shore. I just find the whole thing so bizarre with the technology now-a-days. Just to disappear off radar and the face of the earth without a trace.ReplyCancel
ITA Crila, someone has to know something!ReplyCancel
Sadly, this searched has been botched from the beginning. Lots of misinformation. I can't tell if that was intended or not – if not, remarkably amateurish start to this. Why not take a 777 and fly the route they believe the Malaysian airlines flight did and see where you end up (obviously not from the beginning to avoid running out of fuel)ReplyCancel
Oh, someday, poor souls …ReplyCancel
No. We probably won't find it and it doesn't matter. Between the media obsession, the conspiracy lunatics and the fake mourning of strangers, it's difficult to choose which one is more grotesque and inappropriate.ReplyCancel
I agree with JAS, pieces will be found but not any time soon.
I didn't realize how bad the currents were out that way in normal weather, let alone now that fall is coming in that area of the world. Much of that area is uncharted and avoided by boats as a rule.
Some expert was saying because it is so deep you can have layers of of currents running – it may look calm on top but you go a mile down and the current is not calm and vice versa. So I can see the debris is going to just keep getting broken down and moved and they may not really be able to fish them out of the water. The area they are looking at now is basically a volcanic ridge, the plane could have landed right inside some underwater volcano, there are a lot of underwater cliffs and crevices where the plane could be trapped or large pieces of it and it may block the black box beacon which is almost up of battery power in the best case scenario.ReplyCancel
The CIA may know what happened, they can sift through chatter etc. I do know my father said that the Americans found new "evidence" recently that supported the statement by the Malaysians that the diversion of the plane was deliberate. Anyone hear what that evidence was beyond what was already in the public domain.
But it is up to the Malaysians to divulge that information I would imagine, assuming the CIA shared it with the Malaysians. The Americans are still a bit part of this rescue effort.ReplyCancel
Big part not bit partReplyCancel
I think it will be found eventually by some private group who do this kind of search because it will be a big "find" for them.
But there is a small part of me that is more on the conspiracy side. We (and several other countries) have the technology to listen in on anything and watch the world from the sky. I think we (and some of the other countries) are purposely not divulging where it is because then they would have to give up all of their technology and it will prove to the world how much we spy on everyone (not like it's a big secret though). And an even smaller part of me still thinks that the plane is in tact somewhere hidden in a foreign country and will eventually be used in a huge terrorist attack (I don't believe any of the passengers are alive though).ReplyCancel
@Eros I think you are right – the U.S. doesn't want to disclose their full capabilities in monitoring what goes on in the world, so they drop some hints, but knowing the plane crashed they are in no hurry.
My bet is pieces wash ashore somewhere and eventually are identified as wreckage.ReplyCancel
the bomoh said the plane is trapped in the air. hes the one who found the little boy who was lost in the mountain by having them sacrafice a goat. everyone is really superstitious there, but the bomoh finds things by using his magic fishing rod.ReplyCancel
A good friend of mine (fellow actress and conspiracy theorist) sent me a link to a blog written by a woman who is convinced that the plane is located in a parallel universe … which it travelled to by way of a Bermuda Triangle-type vortex in the Indian Ocean. The blog in question has some 1,100 comments now, with contributions from many like-minded people, some expanding on what the original blogger said which prove for very interesting reading. I'm not sure I agree with this, especially now that people are talking about it being in the 1950s, and they are in the jungle with warriors with white-painted faces. It just sounds too … mythical for me.
Lisa Williamson, the UK-born famous psychic who now lives in California, intimated last week (or was it the week before?) that all would be revealed in three weeks' time. Read into that what you will. Do I think she's right? No, I think she's hoping they'll find some clues or debris within three weeks, then be proven right.
Others have speculated that the plane is in Pakistan, and the passengers have all been taken hostage. Others have agreed the plane is in Pakistan, but have said that when the plane ascended to its maximum height, all of the passengers would have died through lack of oxygen. I think this is a possibility.
Then there are those who are convinced that the plane is in Diego Garcia, where it took the precious freight. I'm not sure about that one. What, aside from batteries and people, was the plane carrying? That said, it had four key people onboard who had developed something that was awaiting patents and if they die then the money goes to one Jacob Rothschild.
I watched that flight data where there is a mystery plane on the radar that suddenly speeds off. I don't think it's strange that it turned into a questionmark before disappearing as I've seen that happen to regular planes too. So I'm not buying the 'stolen by a UFO' theory.
I personally think that something mechanical happened, at which point the pilot turned to head back to Kuala Lumpur. At that point, the cabin filled with some sort of gas that knocked everyone out, leaving the plane to fly on autopilot South, into the Indian Ocean. I believe it will be found submerged in the underwater mountains in many, many years. Or perhaps there will be a volcanic eruption underwater that will push it to the surface more quickly. I believe this plane had an issue which was worked on shortly to it being put back into service, so the problem could be linked to that.
Sadly, there are already many, many scripts in the works for this tragedy. My agent has been contacted about finding Asian actors to play the pilot and co-pilot already, so we should see quite a few movies on this in time to come.ReplyCancel
@Anon – Amelia's plane was found in 2010, but there was a coverup for some reason and the exact details were kept hidden. More recently, ancient-looking makeup items (powder case and mirror, lipstick case) were found on Nikumaroro Island, which they believed to be hers.ReplyCancel
@JoElla – that is correct; they opted not to subscribe because they were already struggling financially. Boeing kept very quiet on all of this until a week ago, when they said they believed the plane is in Pakistan.
The question keeps being asked – and nobody is responding – why not take two planes up in the air and have one go North, one go South, with that much fuel and see where they end up? (With reserves onboard to fuel up if they end up in the middle of nowhere).ReplyCancel
I appreciate your common sense approach and comments.
I think they are at Diego Garcia – passengers and crew, all alive; CIA know what's up with them.
The plane was loaded with far more beverages and food than is standard for a trip to Beijing – for example, 300 bottles of wine. There are other anomalies which have been released to the media but are not being openly reported at this time so I cannot go into them.
I believe the plane was diverted because of something to do with the passport stealers – the CIA are onto this.ReplyCancel
@stepforded can i have the link to the blog you are referring to? id love to read it. please?ReplyCancel
Sure thing – here you go:
What do you know – around 24 hours before the FDR battery is supposed to die, the Australians are going to be releasing "new" information and searching a much more precise area. My bet is they find something "just in time". The U.S. has known, and just been slowly hinting information to narrow the search.
I love the idea of some of the conspiracy theories above. My biggest doubt with the hijacking theories is that over 200 people is a large group to wrangle and manage over time. With that many people, unless you kill them all (which destroys leverage), I would think someone would claim responsibility and put the squeeze on ASAP.
It is a bit mysterious about Amelia's plane – they did find evidence, but I thought it wasn't definitive. Perhaps they don't think the idea of her living alone on a rock in the ocean for a long period of time is something people would be comfortable with. But, after Lost, Cast Away, etc., I think society would better be able to handle such news that happened so long ago.ReplyCancel

Good looking shoe, runs small
"This is a really nice looking shoe, appears well made, with a nice design. It is, however, sized down--anywhere from 1/2 to a full-size. I'll be swapping my 12s for a pair of 13s. If I can get the right size, I'll love these and wear them often."

January 30, Booths Open at 5:30 pm Castle Dale Stake Center
Booths will provide valuable emergency preparedness information to all who attend
Emergency-How well prepared are you and your family?
August 2003-power blackout struck much of northeastern United States and southern Canada. Some areas were without power for three days. The blackout was the largest loss of power in the history of the US, effecting an estimated 50 million people.
August 2003-swift moving forest fire swept through British Columbia, Canada, causing the evacuation of an estimated 30,000 people.
September 2003-a rare category five, Hurricane Isabel, churned out winds of 161 MPH before weakening on it slow path to the East Coast of the US.
October 2003-fires ravaged southern California, thousands evacuated, homes lost, etc.
Dec. 23-28, 2003-seven earthquakes, magnitude 3.0-3.8, central Utah.
An Emergency Preparedness Fair will be held Jan. 30; it is free to the public and everyone is welcome. Booths will open at 5:30 p.m. in the cultural hall of the Castle Dale Stake Center, located at 10 East Main, with information and handouts. Special presentations will begin at 6 p.m. from "The Earthquake Lady," Maralin Y. Hoff, and from Sgt. Martin Wilson of the Emery County Sheriff's Office.
Booths will be from: Utah Power, Questar, Castle Valley Special Services, Emery Telcom, Neighborhood Watch, Castle Dale City, Orangeville City, Castle Dale Elementary, Orangeville Elementary, Castle Dale Fire Department, Orangeville Fire Department, Emery Medical Center, EMTs, Castle Dale Dry Pack Cannery, meal preparation from dry pack cannery, SouthEastern Utah Health Department, Emery County Sheriff's Office, mine rescue, Utah State Extension Office, Emery County Senior Citizens, military surplus, Emery Animal Health and the Earthquake Lady.
You never know when you or a loved one will be stranded in your car. Do you know what you need in case of an emergency? Do you have a car emergency kit?
Do your children know how to handle an emergency? They are never too young to learn. What would your family do in a prolonged power outage? What would you do for heat, preparing food, storing food, etc.? Come to the Emergency Preparedness Fair to find out more. Bring your neighbors. Everyone is welcome.
Emergency? A test of personal and family preparedness. As you work through a trail, you will find resilience and resourcefulness you did not know you had. Your children will always remember how you acted and how you handled a terrible situation. Families come to the Emergency Preparedness Fair on Jan. 30 at 5:30 p.m. for important information.
Local LDS Cannery Offers Solution to Food Storage
The LDS Church maintains a dry-pack cannery in Castle Dale. Dry foods such as potato pearls, wheat, beans, flour, sugar, dry milk, and pudding mix may either be purchased there in bulk or brought in and sealed in 10# cans. This facility is available to the public. The only charge is for the product and the cans.
A recent article in the Deseret Morning News (Homeland Security for U.S. food) pointed out that the food we eat travels on average about 1300 miles. Our food supply is far more vulnerable than we realize.
Some reasons for an extended food storage are the following:
Grocery stores do not back-stock. All products are on the shelves and would be quickly depleted in an emergency.
Transportation can be interrupted by natural disasters that destroy roads or bridges, strikes or a decrease in the oil supply.
A nuclear attack or accident will cause massive deaths by starvation within the first year.
Adverse weather conditions, and plant and animal diseases can devastate our food supply.
If, for any reason, the food supply goes down, prices will go up. (During the recent eastern blackout, water was selling in some stores for $9 a gallon.)
You save money buying on sale.
There is a tremendous peace of mind in knowing that your family will not go hungry if there is a long term need.
It isn't as difficult or costly as you might suppose. For more information or to schedule an appointment call, Betty or Von Frandsen at 381-2588 or Janet or Jack Magnuson at 381-2592.
Why a 72-Hour Kit?
Disasters can happen anytime and anywhere. When disaster strikes, you may not have time to respond.
After a disaster, local officials and relief workers will be on the scene, but they cannot reach everyone. You could get help in hours, or it may take days. Would your family be prepared to cope with the emergency until help arrives?
Your family will cope best by preparing for disaster before it strikes. One way to prepare is by assembling a Disaster Supplies Kit. Once disaster hits, you won't have time to shop or search for supplies. If you've gathered supplies in advance, your family can endure an evacuation or home confinement.
In the event of a disaster, you may be without any services such as water or electricity for up to 72 hours. You must be prepared with water and food that needs no preparation to get you by until services are restored. It may also be necessary to evacuate from where you are. These supplies need to be stored in a sturdy, easy to carry container like a backpack or duffle bag.
Items that should be included in the kit include:
A three day supply of water (one gallon per person per day).
Food that won't spoil, and does not need to be cooked such as ready-to-eat canned meats, fruits and vegetables, canned juices, milk and soup (if powdered store extra water), staples - sugar, salt and pepper, high energy foods like peanut butter, jelly, crackers, granola bars, trail mix, vitamins, foods for infants, elderly persons or persons on special diets, comfort/stress foods - cookies, hard candies, sweetened cereals, lollipops, instant coffee and tea bags.
Clothing & Bedding: include at least one complete change of clothing and footwear per person, sturdy shoes or work boots; rain gear, blankets or sleeping bags, hat and gloves, thermal underwear and sunglasses.
A first aid kit that includes any prescription medications for each family member, as well as assorted sterile adhesive bandages, assorted gauze pads, hypoallergenic adhesive tape, triangular bandages, assorted sterile roll bandages, scissors, tweezers, needle, moistened towelettes, antiseptic, thermometer, tongue depres sors (2), tube of petroleum jelly or other lubricant, assorted sizes of safety pins, latex gloves (2 pair), sunscreen and insect repellant.
Extra set of car keys, credit card, or preferably cash, also some change.
Sanitation supplies: toilet paper, towelettes, soap, liquid detergent, hand sanitizer, feminine supplies, personal hygiene items, toothbrush & toothpaste, mouthwash, plastic garbage bags with ties (for personal sanitation uses), disinfectant, household chlorine bleach; towels and washcloths.
Special needs items (such as needed for infants, disabled or elderly).
Pet food, water and any pet supplies necessary.
Tools and other supplies: mess kits, or paper cups, plates and plastic utensils, emergency preparedness manual, battery operated radio, flashlight and extra batteries, non-electric can opener, utility knife, fire extinguisher, small canister ABC type, tent or tube tent, pliers, duct tape, compass, matches in a waterproof container, aluminum foil, plastic storage containers, signal flare, paper, pencil, needles, thread, medicine dropper, shut-off wrench, to turn off household gas and water, whistle; plastic sheeting and map of area (for locating shelters).
Special items: remember family members with special needs such as infants and elderly or disabled persons. For baby: formula, diapers, bottles, powdered milk, medications. For adults: heart and high blood pressure medication, insulin, prescription drugs; denture needs, contact lenses and supplies, extra eye glasses. Entertainment: games and book. Important family documents: keep these records in a waterproof, portable container; Will, insurance policies, contracts, deeds, stocks, and bonds, bank account numbers, credit card account numbers and companies. Inventory of valuable household goods and important telephone numbers. Family records (birth, marriage, death certificates).
Some other suggestions and reminders: store your kit in a convenient place known to all family members. Keep a smaller version of the Disaster Supplies Kit in the trunk of your car. Keep items in air tight plastic bags. Change your stored water supply every six months so it stays fresh. Rotate your stored food every six months. Re-think your kit and family needs at least once a year. Replace batteries, update clothes, etc. Ask your physician about storing prescription medications.
Meet with your family and discuss the types of disasters that could occur. Explain how to prepare and respond. Discuss what to do if you are advised to evacuate. And most importantly, practice what you have discussed.
Plan how your family will stay in contact if separated by a disaster. Pick two meeting places, one that is a location a safe distance from your home in case of a fire, and the other a place outside your neighborhood in case you can't return home. Choose an out-of-state friend as a "Check-in Contact" for everyone to call.
Post emergency phone numbers by every phone. Show responsible family members how and when to shut off water, gas and electricity at main switches. Install a smoke detector on every level of your home, especially near bedrooms; test monthly and change the batteries two times a year. Contact your local fire department to learn more about home fire hazards. Learn first aid and CPR. Contact your local Red Cross chapter for information and training.
Meet with your neighbors and plan how the neighborhood could work together after a disaster. Know your neighbors' skills (medical, technical). Consider how you could help neighbors who have special needs, such as elderly or disabled persons. Make plans for child care in case parents can't get home.
Remember to practice and maintain your plan.

Random Thoughts - CBA Negotiations fatigue
Kent Wilson
January 04 2013 10:43AM
Because I do this for a living and have a heavy dose of self-interest riding on the outcome, I've no doubt been more invested in the CBA negotiations than your average fan. On a broad, macro level divorced from sentiment, it's been interesting to observe the parry and thrust of each side in this labor dispute, to impute the honesty and motives of those involved, to deduce each party's competing incentives and strategies.
After the recent "blow-up" in talks and PA missives about lack of trust (met by Bettman's threats of canceling the season), though, it's grown almost impossible for me to approach this on-going miasma as a detached mental exercise. Intellectually, boredom has set in thanks to the monotonous drip-drip-drip of non-news updates, dressed up, mock outrage and PR stunts that have littered this growing fiasco. As a fan and a man whose livelihood depends on the business of NHL teams actually playing games, my dueling emotions of hope and anger have, over time, simply boiled away, leaving a kind of numb, empty apathy; like a pot of water abandoned on a burner for too long.
I will continue to follow the ebb and flow of CBA talks - I'm too invested to do otherwise - but increasingly both my curiosity as a commentator and my emotion as a fan are being displaced by a unpleasant mix of fatigue and disgust. Even as I'm aware of the complexity and ambiguity of the issues at hand and the lack of a sympathetic protagonist amongst the parties, I am nevertheless compulsively struck with an image of venal, shifty-eyed men standing over a corpse, arguing over who gets to rifle through the pockets first.
Other Stuff
- Related - Jonathan Willis shows why Bettman's "threat" to cancel the season unless a deal is reached by next Thursday is so much sound and fury.
- Related, again - A few years ago you couldn't swing a cat without hitting four hockey fans who would swear to you that Gary Bettman was the devil and responsible for everything that was wrong with hockey, both real and imaginary. I think that perception has sensibly shifted over time, but in some ways the pendulum has swung too far in the other direction. Now, it seems, Bettman is characterized as little more than a puppet dancing at the behest of the various owners - a scapegoat to absorb the fans ire and a mere cipher for hawkish rich men like Jeremy Jacobs.
I suspect the truth is somewhere between the two extremes. Bettman is assuredly the owners employee, but he's also their representation, their council. He is a major voice in the room and no doubt the guy determining significant aspects of the league's planning and strategies. He acts on behalf of the owners, and with their blessing, but that doesn't mean he's merely a pawn acting out the nefarious script of his betters.
I guess what I'm saying is $8 million per year is a lot of cheddar to pay for an impotent figurehead.
- I'm not one to wring my hands about Team Canada's performance on the world stage, so the loss to the States in the semi-finals didn't rile me that much. I'd say those who tend to get enraged or despondent when Canada doesn't quite live up to expectations at these things should consider a couple of things: that anything can happen in one-off games and that other countries are sending some pretty damn good teams of their own these days.
- Markus Granlund scored another three points recently and now shares the tournament lead in points (12) with teammate Joel Armia. Granlund has had a tough year in the sm-liiga this season, but at least he put together a nice run against his peers in the WJC.
That said, the WJC has been dubbed "the tournament of small sample size" by stats guys for a reason: observers and scouts tend to over-weight it due to it's perceived importance, but as always more results over a longer period are far more powerful and more predictive than less. So here's hoping he gets back on track in Finland once this thing is over.
- Sven Baertschi is apparently ready to get back into the Heat's line-up for their game tonight. The team could really use his offensive abilities obviously. It's somewhat disconcerting, though, that the Flames best prospect has missed time with concussion-like issues in each of the last two years though.
- Speaking of concerning health issues, John Weisbrod was on the FAN yesterday and noted Roman Cervenka is suffering from a hematoma and is isn't medically cleared to play. He hasn't skated since the end of November and there's no timetable for a return. Add in the uncertainty of the labor dispute and there's a moderate but growing chance that Feaster's KHL experiment won't ever skate in Flames colors.
- Anton Babchuk has 3 points in 31 games for Donbass in the KHL and is -9 (the worst +/- on the team). I doubt the Flames ask him to fly back over the pond, even if the NHL does return. Regular readers, I hope you'll allow this minor indulgence but...I told you so.
- Almost all of the Gaudreau shirts have been mailed or delivered. I hope those who have received their shirt(s) are enjoying them.
- You'll notice we finally have "tweet" buttons at the bottom of articles. Yay! Next up: a facebook like button.
Babchuk is also logging tonnes of minutes for his KHL squad though. Apparently they haven't figured out he's terrible yet. They must be thinking he's on a cold streak or something.
I've been mostly apathetic towards the negotiations so far, mostly because I've already decided the season is lost (I decided that as soon as they cancelled the preseason).
I dont really buy the "Bettman is useless" mantra.
Even with the lockout record, if you look at the growth and development of the game under his leadership (C$ reasons or not), his resume still looks pretty good.
-6 new franchises (a couple actually profitable, but all profitable to existing owners thanks to franchise fee) -"saved" Canadian franchises with revenue sharing (actually went to sun belt teams after dollar rebounded) -imposed a salary cap in what was the most resistant league
He also has very good reputation with the owners (he and Harley Hotchkiss were good friends).
He wins. He just won't lose. If I were the NHL, I keep Bettman. If I am having to negotiate and defend the game, I want a pitbull in my corner.
Now, I hate his "image" too, he makes my skin crawl (I assume he's perfectly pleasant and normal away from his job), but from a business standpoint, he's the NHL's guy, so we should just let it go, and accept the inevitable.

perhaps gary bettman aka dr evil versus donald the spin docta fehr shouls settle this in a no holds barred ladder match.
oh no its ollie doink jokinen the finnatic with a chair to the back of bettmans cranium.

On Babchuk, I doubt any of us will lose any sleep if he doesn't play in a Flames uniform this season. But I don't take his KHL numbers to heart.
We know he can put up 30-points in a season with dedicated PP and sheltered EV time. So his lack of point production isn't concerning. What he hasn't been able to do to this point is play defense.
Apparently he is playing in a big minutes shut down role for Donbass HC. Outside of the underwhelming stat line I have no idea how successful he has been in that role. But that experience can't hurt if he does make his way back over here.
Fair enough. In the NHL, Babchuk is what he is - a 6th defender/PP specialist at best. Thirty or so games in the KHL won't change that.
Im surprised anyone is playing Babchuk in a shut-down role at any level of pro hockey outside of the ECHL. Goes to show how coaches estimations of players can differ though. Brent Sutter wouldn't even let him near a first line last season.
If he is indeed playing big minutes in the KHL, perhaps the Flames won't have to argue with him to stay in Russia.
I'll go with the Russian coach over Brent's ability to manage and use players.

Have the other teams nicknamed his team "Dumbass" yet??
The real problem with Babchuk is the contract the Flames signed him to. $2.5 million per year for two years was lunacy, and the fault falls squarely on Feaster. Other than that, Babchuk is a bottom pair / replacement level dman with a decent shot.

Agree. Correct term to take the risk, wrong $$$
Unfortunately without NHL hockey, we can't get a better evaluation on Jay Feaster. For every bad deal, it looks like he has an equal an offsetting good deal. Maybe we just have an exactly average GM.
I was looking forward to the increased sample size to see Feaster's plan unfold (good or bad). It's easy for us to sit and be armchair quarterbacks, but we really do not know the culture in the business of hockey.
I remember when Darryl was brought in and we were all skeptical. I remember my Dad saying "who the hell is Craig Conroy". The we saw some sustained success. Call me an drunken optimist.
Despite the players having the most to lose, the NHL seems to be negotiating in bad faith.
While it may look like the NHL keeps giving more to the players, they seem to always take something away. Probably all part of negotiations, but reaching a deal means to compromise to a point where both parties can have some satisfaction.
The fact we are learning that HRR is behind hidden, or when the NHL agrees to split 50/50 they can't tell the players it's one number when it's actually completely different.
Sure the NHL and Gary are educated business guys but that doesn't give them the right to pull a fast one and deceive players into getting less than what the NHL offered.
