What is Freedom?
Konstantin Eriksen, Guest Writer
Waking Times
Today I'd like to talk about a subject that I've been thinking about for many years and to share my current thinking on the topic: What is freedom?
The reality is that no matter how much I thought about the meaning of freedom and how much I read about it, no definition of it ever satisfied me. All were lacking in some way. So I'm going to attempt to give a short but accurate picture.
I believe that few people are truly free and I will explain this below. For the purpose of clarity I'm going to ask my readers to think of freedom in 4 general categories, with #4 being the most important by far:
1. Political and economic freedom. When people use the word "freedom," they often mean some type of political or economic freedom present in a given country at a given time. To me, this type of freedom involves living in a jurisdiction that is not occupied militarily or economically and that limits all forms of coercion against individual citizens. Personal safety, complete and absolute freedom of speech and freedom from economic tyranny are essential for true political freedom to exist. Unfortunately, after having lived in a lot of countries, I have to conclude that true, pure, political freedom is nonexistent today, that there are only degrees of freedom within a given society and that some societies have more freedom in some aspects of life and less in other aspects.
Many countries that pride themselves on being "free" are actually not free at all, for although they are not under military occupation, they are under economic occupation. Large economic interests can end up with monopoly positions in energy, finance, medicine and many other key sectors of the economy.
No matter how much theoretical freedom is built into a political system, any form of economic control through special interest groups and the financing of politicians by rich entities will ensure that the system becomes corrupt and will degenerate into some form of economic slavery or semi-slavery.
This brings me to my second point, which helps us solve some of the challenges posed by the first.
2. Personal financial freedom. This means being free from having to work for others, being free of externally imposed schedules, being free to live and not to toil. There are three key points I want to make about financial freedom.
Firstly, we must become free of useless desires for superfluous "goods and services." Think about it: How many of the things you own do you really need? How many bring you joy and happiness? In my experience, many of our purchases are actually attempts to cover up the deeper emptiness of our lives. Sometimes, getting rid of things and having a new experience is much more rewarding.
Secondly, we must be free of debt. Debt is an insidious form of slavery. It limits our options. It ties us down. We think we're "free" but our freedom is a delusion as long as we owe others for our standard of living. Generally, it is not a good idea to get into debt unless you can afford it with plenty of room to spare.
People in the USA, Ireland, Spain and other countries borrowed massive amounts of money in the preceding years. Where has that left them? Bankrupt, of course! Germans, on the other hand, have very low levels of household debt. First they save money, then they buy. So being debt-free is not a dream, it's a matter of discipline.
Thirdly, we must have the courage to act, to dare, to explore, to cut the umbilical cord and to venture out on our own. Without this, failure is assured.
3. Freedom from the social matrix. I can't stress how important this was for me. In order to be truly free, we have to be free from the influence of individual people around us and from social conventions.
I like to use the matrix metaphor: The sum total of all prevailing beliefs, conventions, memes and pieces of information floating around in a society have created a social-conceptual matrix that dominates our lives. But this matrix is false, because it is not a part of natural reality. It is man-made.
Think about it. We are born and we grow up in a specific society, with specific epistemological, ethical and political beliefs. We are immersed in this dreamworld throughout our school years and on into adulthood. But how different would each one of us be if our circumstances had been different?
I'm quite sure that if I had been born in Szechuan province or Bhuttan, I'd be different today.
Noticing all social influence and not allowing it to affect us is one of the key principles of true freedom.
4. Freedom from our own minds. This is the real essence of personal freedom. Unplugging ourselves from the mindless chatter, the traditions, the memes, the doctrines of our societies and everything that comes with them.
In the end, we internalize the sociopolitical matrix and we become it, without even noticing it. This is what is meant by the now famous phrase "Free your mind."
As I said at the beginning, I believe that very few people are truly free, and the reason is that no matter where they live, no matter how much financial or political freedom they have (or believe that they have), they are trapped by their "own" mind-thoughts, which, in the end, are not their own at all. They were all arrived at second-hand.
Free your mind – definitely not an empty phrase.

Great article. Fear and ego bind our world [your mind] together; love and forgiveness sets it [your mind] free…
I see the body as a Prison cell sometimes, so sometimes going to sleep while [fully awake] aware of vibrating on a higher frequency, liberates me, i remember the first time was both frightening and unbelievably exhilarating visiting the Land of Awe, and yet the status quo would not have me explore my own consciousness as an OBE, that is their fear not mine.
So I'll promise not to go there anymore.
Good article.
Freedom.to me there is no transparency in freedom
That about sums it up!
A monopolistic financial system is the enemy of personal freedom. A distributist financial system is ally of personal freedom. This should be obvious to anyone, yet for centuries populations have tolerated a system of centralized financial power that has given its managers control over the economic policies of society. The conclusion to be drawn is either that people are too dense to devise a financial system that will put the immense potential of modern production methods at the disposal of all citizens or that they cleave to slavery.
Your article is great and as they say "hits the nail right on the head" What confuses me at times is why so many do not choose that "Freedom" I guess that many do not understand that they do have a choice.
There is one kind of freedom that has been overlooked here, which includes all the others. That is the freedom of dependence. When Adam and Eve were first created, they had no money problems, no social problems, no food or health problems, no clothing or shelter problems, no protection problems, and lacked absolutely nothing. They were totaly dependent on their Creator for everything, and God provided for all their needs. People today can have the same kind of freedom of utter dependence on their Creator, with the same results. When we depend totally on God for everything, He has promised to provide all we need. We don't have to worry about anything, and that gives the highest sense of freedom. When the government acts to make dependence upon and obedience to God a crime and attaches the death penalty to it, we will still be free, because we know that the God we are totally dependent on will still supply everything we need, and preserve our life from the tyrants. They might take all our possessions and force us to flee, but even in the midst of being utterly cut off from human sympathy and support, there will still be that sense of utter freedom. It is His universe, and He will have the ultimate say in everything. It will be His word against all the petty thieves and murderers who pretend to run this planet, and that word has the power to speak worlds into existence. It will be a reliving of the experience of Ivan Denisovich in Solzhenitsyn's book. There will be nothing more to take, nothing more that we can be deprived of but our life. And that life is guaranteed, and nothing on this earth will be able to touch it.
What about atheists who don't believe in god. What is that dependencies on The government or each other. And no I'm not atheist

you need to take extreme measures in all fields. religion which shall become spirituality, respect all religious books because they contain light. even the cardinal sin of the talmud has some interesting ideas about demons. there is freedom in food, so seperate yoursef from gmo. seperate yourself from chemicals. disconnect from propaganda and conditioned people.there is no such thing as political freedom. all governments are chains.
In the US you are free to be either obscenely poor or obscenely rich.
Maybe interesting to read, my article: Total Reality and the Life Course Defined Reality. The link is: http://worldwidebeingfreewebsite.com/reality%2011.htm
Konstantin. In lots of ways you are right. I am someone who has no financial debt, whatsoever. I also have no need for any luxury. Books, yes, when possible. D.V.D.'s, yes, when possible. And my laptop. My only means of transportation is a bike. I live in a rental apartment. At the moment I have no job and live of my savings, which I will be able to do for another two years. I do, what I want to do. But alas, that is as far as it goes. How can I be free without political and economical freedom. Even though I can live on my savings for a few years I still have to pay taxes, the rent and so on. Especially the rent is one of the ways of legally stealing endlessly, that most people don't even realise. I have been living for 25 years in the same apartment, and I know its value of 25 years ago. I paid that already twice, but still every year the rent goes up. Can I be free of it? That would most probably mean living on the streets.
Do you now what that means? How free are you really on the streets. Free of finances, of the matrix, maybe even of your own mind due to using alcohol and/or drugs. But you are still not free of the politics and economics of the country you are in. And you are still not free of other humans, who will abuse you. And you are still not free of the survival of the fittest, the quickest and the most cunning. So, you are not free living alone in nature too.
And Ron, being totally dependent on a god is the opposite of freedom.
Adam and Eve were so dependent on their god, that when they ate without having the knowledge of the difference between right and wrong, for they had not eaten of the tree of knowledge yet, an apple from that tree, they were thrown out of that place. And not even because they ate from this apple and now did have the knowledge of right and wrong. No, because their god was afraid they would also eat from to tree of life and would become immortal like him. And you know, in a way, it is that apple which caused the start of that being "trapped by their "own" mind-thoughts, which, in the end, are not their own at all", Konstantin is talking about at the end of his article. That is what we could call the real original sin, the fact that we always are born and grow up in a certain place on Earth at a certain time and are educated until the mind thoughts of our elders and others are so deeply ingrained in our own brains, that we may call ourselves lucky if we are able to undo most of it during the rest of our lives. That is what we fight each other about as humanity every day of our lives. Not meaning disrespect to our elders and others, because they have lived with the same problem since the moment that god got angry and decided to vent, not very lovingly, his unjustified anger and especially his fear.
I know that one thing does free me more and more, though. And that is really thinking true what humans make me try to believe. Getting rid of the mind thoughts, yes. But of the ego, no!
well its good to know that so many ppl are thinking of freedom.
Freedom by itself tied with will power thats how you can get the complete picture. i can be a salve and still be free, thats to say i made the choice with no force being applied on me to make this choice.
while Konstatine has made an attempt to rationalise freedom in terms thw worl we livet he true meaning of freedom can be understood by simply understanding the difference between choice and and decision. if u dint understand then mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Need to read David Thoreau on the freedom from others and soceity. I've visited Walden's Pond & i can understand David's desire to get away from humans.
Freedom is the feeling you are free.
Very nice work! Number 4 is the key and I am so glad you touched on that idea. There is a great resource that can "free your mind" although I am sure you have a copy on your bookshelf. For those that don't, check out a used copy of The Four Agreements, by Don Miguel Riuz. You can find it at Goodwill and the local used bookstore since many want the freedom but only a warrior will fight for it.
In Peace and Liberty~
….for nothing left to lose.
most people will never be free….
Feedom is FREE, the cost comes in defending it. I found total Freedom when I recognized my direct connection to the creator. I learned to Occupy my Divinity and declared myself the Free Republic of Boblovia, a sovereign individual nation of one.

Ancient civilizations weren't free either. Wherever there are hiearchies, somebodies had to be there to support them, the lower classes, and the upholders, the police and military…which, unfortunately, wre taken from conscripts of the lower classes.
THe only real free people, were outside any civilization, those were the Tribal Peoples, anywhere. THe Chiefs had only the immediate control given by the individuals, they wre elected by Councilsa, and if they screwed up, OUT they went, right off. No waiting for the newxt elections.
There was also the case that if an individual or groups, in the Tribe disagreed with group decisions, they were free to leave, go someplace else.
What many dont realise is the importance on the collective mind/sett.
That is the very clue to the presnet "dumbing" down, people are not stupid in all sensess, but hughly and by intentt, missinformed, onc informed people change, the seep of change is resting in the ability to realy alter everything.
The first obstacle is Fear, if you dont know Fear, try this out, because this is the first test I may have flunged you into, to ignore others, to sitt down right infront of people in situations you normaly never would have done, to test you simple, selfrespect, selfdisiplin a.s.o.
The second is self sensure, conspiracy teories.
I dont bother to say the rest butt, sience is to day, just as an ex. so far ahead of what we consider "reality", that is people where tuned into this, the world would change.
This is what I found intresting:
Quantum mec. and NonLocality.
He forgott some thing that I want to induse, the duality in light, and the fact that light can be persived in two different ways, as a particle and as a wave, not both, you have to determin, beforehand what you are going to see, capice.
And secondly, the main drive is probably an pulse, 23 trillion times pr. sec. thats the clock.
Or God that runns the mascinery.
We are in that, as observatuers, we live in a world far more complexed than we think.
The life on earth is predisigned to be sett in the feil of the eaths matrix, if you like it that way, so we are sett in an Organic reality, and since our birth, slowly lost it, thure a reality forced upon us.
What would the collective mind sett be, if we all knew this, as I have writen before, this is NOT religion, but the use of Conscuisness.
Who you are, is defined by the level you are at.
The veild or what ever its caled is an mebran(force feid) like the one we our self are in, healds the inorganic side away from our sight, since we are creatures of perseption.
We belive what we see.
We become what we belive.
Energy: matter and conscuisness.
What else can bring life into cemical compounds and organic selfsustaiable comunetys as our Body, born fro a singe cell, the DNA is not important other that to build, but they them selfs are Amino acids, compounds.
In it there is a leap, a hughe one, what is it and how do it work, conscuisness is the driving force of it all.
What kind, I have no clue what so ever, but realy on expirience and learning.
"If we are to achieve things never before accomplished we must employ methods never before attempted"
― Francis Bacon
What is the difference now between living under a Dictatorship,and the way we live now? A political Dictatorship is just the same, so the answer is none. It is 2013, and some of you still cite the fairy tale of Adam and Eve as your philosophy. I stopped believing in Santa when I grew up-when will you help us by giving up your fairy tale existence? Some of you talk about "freeing the mind", but come with no instructions. Others offer Metaphysical answers,which have no value in freeing us from a government that has turned into a Dictatorship. Some cite tribes, but how is that freedom? Some babble on about light. Amino acids are the building blocks, bur how did they organize to form consciousness? We were never truly free-it is now being pointed out to us.
We have been mislead and enslaved by human beings. It's up to the human beings that are currently free to help the rest of humanity. Know how your freedoms are protected and preserved (Constitution/ Bill of Rights). Don't take the easy way out and trust that your freedoms are going to be protected by your servants in the government, because, they are not your servants. Don't submit and change what you believe about your freedoms based on what you are told by the very same humans (mainstream media) who enslaved you. You don't have to be a Conservative to love the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Live Free.
nayi tambaya amma ba a bani amsa ta dai dai ba mai yasa?
Freedom, what is it? Can there be any doubt as to what this most sought after quality of life could be ? What is freedom; freedom from what; freedom to do what ? Not everybody on this planet has the freedom to go and do as they please and even we ourselves realize that we are limited by laws, rules, regulations and ethical codes of conduct in order to live in harmony with our fellow beings.
As freedom is so valued some people seem to think it is a virtue ? Many regard it as an inalienable right to be pursued at all cost as something that is ours no matter what. Almost as if it is our right to occupy our side of the road,… but there are times when we have to share it in a responsible fashion with those who travel in the opposite direction… and that is often where our problem lies, with – " those that travel in the opposite direction"- . We can insist on our rights if we chose to but that could mean we are dead right, we and our fellow travellers.
From a purely rational viewpoint it stands to reason that freedom is many things to many people and if we are deprived of that freedom, that could be the result of living in an imperfect world. If we are mature enough in our thinking we might even equate that with the possibility that we as part of this imperfect world do inflict restrictions on our fellow beings.
With rights come responsibilities and that very often means we are not at all free to do as we like and because we have so many conflicting thoughts, interpretations and blinding pecuniary interests, governments need to make laws to keep us on the straight and narrow.
Freedom is a great concept, but invariably what means greater freedom for one person means greater restrictions for another.
The greatest area of abuse, I think, lies in the area of freedom of speech. We have all heard the saying "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me", something we still tell our children to build up their confidence. Some parents however teach the exact opposite, also in the hope it will protect their children, but potentially turns them into the bullies that the first group of parents sought protection from. Bullying is a serious offence and often has regrettable consequences, not only amongst school kids, but even amongst the bigger ones on Capital Hill. The notion that freedom of speech is a basic right is very naïve as it invariably turns into a conceived right to intimidate and abuse.
We need to realize that with freedom comes the option to make wrong choices, genuine mistakes as well as deliberate violation of the freedom given to us. Freedom in my opinion is not a virtue and what's more it is not for free, it is something we need to work at to enjoy it and share it with others. I would go as far as to say freedom can be a curse. When we talk about the word freedom it immediately conjures up another word and that is authority. When parents, teachers, individuals, governments etc. in whom authority is vested; fail to discipline, hold accountable; keep the peace; lock up criminals etc. we would certainly experience a kind of freedom, but not many of us with any common sense would want to live in a country where those conditions prevail. Laws, rules and regulations are there not only to protect us from the criminals I mentioned, but from you and me as well. In other words…..we do not handle freedom very well, especially when we think we won't be found out.
Yes at times we need the law to sort out our differences of opinion, but there is a better way. "Do unto others as you would have them do to you" and should we need specific personal advice ask the Author of this statement, as in Mat. 7:7
I wonder if I may have an even more-reduced definition of freedom for you, my fellow philosopher: Freedom is Optional. I am currently writing an essay on this… if you are interested, feel free to email me.
Hi Chris,
Having read your personal profile I have to say your interests include an astounding number of disciplines.
But one thing does really surprise me; you say your only interest is to make money.
Have you thought about the saying; " Money is a good servant but a bad master. What is that going to do to your freedom?
Freedom may well be optional but it is also conditional and it is extremely difficult to handle unless we are very well disciplined.
Regards, Jim.
Regards, Jim.
Yes, I am fascinated and deeply interested in a wide range of disciplines.
Money is not my master. Period. It's only a tool for me to trade my labor for goods. Money encourages my freedom.
You say that freedom is difficult to handle unless we are well-disciplined. But is it not discipline which establishes a man's freedom in the first place? Does a man even HAVE the option of freedom if he is undisciplined? For example if a man is a chaotic, whimsical gang member who tries to do whatever he wants without reason or rhyme, is he not a slave to that chaotic, unprincipled confusion and disorder?
How did you find my personal profile?
Regards, Chris
How did I find your profile? "The mind of Chris Speciale" on Google and you posing as Charlie Chaplin, a dead give-away.
Your question; "is it not discipline which establishes a man's freedom?"
Yes, but who has perfect discipline and therefore perfect freedom?
The answer to that you'll find in the last paragraph of my earlier comment in this series dated June 1st 2013.
Regards, Jim.
I am sorry to say that you are all misguided. Freedom is Independence and Landownership – it is personal responsibility for your life and your childrens lives. It's really that simple. Not a nation of landowners? Not free. Not independent? Not free. Not personally responsible for you and your children's life? Not free. They are all equivalent terms: Freedom = Independence = Landownership = Personal Responsibility for Your Life (and lives you create).
Terry on March 23, 2013 got it right, but people are not educated enough to understand the founding documents and their foundations – and even if they did – they will choose comfort and security over freedom – the Matrix dilemma. The most popular book at the time, which even many/most farmers studied, was Blackstone's Commentaries. The founding arose out of the Renaissance, the changing mind of Western Europeans to understand the laws of nature utilizing reason and logic (science), as opposed to living under superstitions and beliefs. Therefore, the understanding of freedom is not a notion or belief, it is science. It is what all animals have by nature. If you want freedom, learn from an animal, they know what freedom is. The problem with people is they don't want to be responsible for their lives (and their childrens) as all other animals are; they prefer the Blue Pill and the comfort and security and irresponsibility that the Matrix/dependent/enslaved way of life provides.
"We have been mislead and enslaved by human beings. It's up to the human beings that are currently free to help the rest of humanity." — truer words can't be said.
Despite the propaganda, slavery is VERY POPULAR! It's not a difficult life at all – just do what you are told! Simple enough for any idiot! Freedom on the other hand – well, you must learn to be at least as intelligent as all other lifeforms – something humanity has trouble accomplishing.
The evolution of man from Buffalo to Cattle is what humans call "progress". Mooo! And everyone is happy, unless you unfortunately have some Buffalo DNA fragments still remaining. Mooo! One buffalo is no match for a herd of cattle. So, learn to Mooo! Otherwise, I can assure you from personal experience, your life will be very very difficult (but honorable and satisfying to your soul).
EVOLUTION OF SLAVERY & DESPOTISM: Once upon a time, there was a man and woman living on the lagoon, eating coconuts and fish all day, and living a nice life on the beach. Their future had 2 possibilities: a) they keep making more and more babies and can't leave the island, and eventually they become cannibals, eating each other for food when resources become scarce; or b) they live in harmony with nature, but an organized technological foreign variety of humans visits and then destroys and plunders the natives for the resources. Now we see the 1st fundamental problem of freedom and humanity: the best life (most free) for humanity is the weakest, and the worst life (least free) is the strongest. Also, we see the principle of living within abundance, and that humans become cannibals when they cannot do this. The 2nd fundamental problem with humanity.
At least in the USA, the founders designed a system of natural law for an agrarian people that were well armed, and if you think about it, you can see a lot of wisdom in this design. It really is the epitome of the perfect design for humanity. It is the most freedom a people can have without risk of being destroyed by conquerers.
Then comes the 3rd basic problem of humanity: humans are big suckers for feminine emotional ploys which are used as tools to override rational thought for the purpose of making slaves of men in exchange for power to those desiring it. For example, it is perfectly lawful in nature for animals/people to duel, but it is easily outlawed utilizing feminine emotional tactics on the masses. "We can't just let people kill each other!" they plead, "How barbaric!" they cry. So, then the freedom to contract with others is removed by popular concensus.
Then comes "But what about the landless paupers! It's not fair for them to suffer!" However unfortunate it is for people to create children without provisioning for them, it is an aspect of freedom – but again feminine emotional ploys will be used by socialists to steal more freedom, crying "We must take from those who have, and give to those who have not! It's only human! Have a heart!", and now theft becomes moral, and humanity takes another step away from freedom to immorality and socialism – legalized plunder.
And these cycles continue until people are left with no freedom at all – except consumer freedom, the freedom to buy the jumk products that you enjoy.
So, there you have it. What freedom is, and how it is lost, and how to get it back. But humans, on average, are stupid (100IQ), so you can assure yourself that humanity will go nowhere good regardless of the deception of "technology=progress" indoctrinations. People simply don't want to be responsible for themselves and their offspring as all other animals are. Instead, they love to be irresponsible and plunder until they either begin eating each other or until a machine takes total control of humanity from which there is no escape. If you understand the machinations of the modern world, you can see all of this at work.
At this point in time, mankind is on technological life-support. Without technology, most humans on earth would starve to death. Isn't it funny how we call putting mankind on technological life-support "progress"? It's very hysterical if you think about it. Being put on life-support is "progress" So funny!
Everyone, read the book "Verse to Voice – The Space Between". It expands on these thoughts about freedom and discusses a new type of movement within the mind.

HARRISONBURG, Va. (WHSV) -- Health professionals are taking a second look at the dangers of baseball after an autopsy revealed the first major league player diagnosed with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).
CTE has been documented among pro football players, but the autopsy of former professional baseball player Ryan Freel, who took his own life a year ago, revealed the first documented case for the MLB.
The diagnosis can only be determined after death by testing brain tissue.
While the cause isn't exactly known, continued hits to the head are thought to be the cause.
Dr. Thomas Weber, the head of sports medicine with RMH said the key is teaching safe play from the start.
"First thing is having helmets that fit properly. Making sure that practices are safe, so kids don't get hit with foul balls. And feet first are going to be better than head first slides," said Weber.
Hard hitting collisions at home plate could soon be banned by Major League Baseball. Those kind of collisions are permitted at the college level, but not any earlier.

Reuters - Employer Wins Relief from U.S. Contraceptives Mandate
By Jonathan Stempel, Reuters
A divided federal appeals court has temporarily barred the U.S. government from requiring an Illinois company to obtain insurance coverage for contraceptives, as required under the 2010 healthcare overhaul, after the owners objected on religious grounds.
More than 40 lawsuits are challenging a requirement in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act that requires most for-profit companies to offer workers insurance coverage for contraceptive drugs and devices and other birth control methods.
Friday's 2-1 order by a panel of the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago in favor of Cyril and Jane Korte was the first by a federal appeals court to temporarily halt enforcement against people who said it violated their faith, said Edward White, a lawyer for the Roman Catholic couple. . . .
"Business owners who are objecting to the mandate are not objecting to people using contraceptives, but that they have to arrange for and pay for it," White, a lawyer with the American Center for Law and Justice, said in a phone interview. "The federal government shouldn't tell business owners they have to contract to buy what they see as immoral services and goods.". . .

Say what you will about Death Wish, but Charles Bronson was never boring.

Im not a "TOP CRITIC" but I agree "Charles Bronson was never boring"

Not to be rude but why do movie critics get side tracked. This is an suspense movie, it has all the right elements of a classic movie, it may not have been executed perfectly but it does what it aimed to do.The movie highlights a good point about the justice system. I think there's too many critics who are too comfortable. It's like someone rating a hip hop album who hates urban music.. it's pointless

The film is too implausible to be suspensful.

Mental Healthcare Costs for All Americans (1996-2006)
Data from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's (AHRQ's) Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) show that between 1996 and 2006 a growing number of Americans paying for mental health services and that the costs of that care steadily increased. Over this 10 year period, the number of Americans paying for mental health services increased 87.6 percent and total expenditures on mental health services increased 63.4 percent. The average cost per person for mental health services slightly decreased during this period. The year over year estimates do not take inflation into account.

Birthday dinner in Berkeley/Oakland - input please!
- m
- mielemaiale Dec 29, 2009 08:23 AM
To kick off my birthday weekend on January 15th, I am planning to have dinner with a few friends in the Berkeley/Oakland area. I know that there are plenty of threads on the subject, and indeed, I've been to most of these restaurants over the years.
But here's the thing - I actually haven't been eating out at restaurants that much in the past year, and even though I have my strong opinions and faves, I'd like to be pushed out of my comfort zone, and be surprised somewhere I haven't been in a while. Mostly, I'd like to have the dinner be extraordinary, and good value, and a good experience for all. I should note that I am food obsessed, cuisine savvy, like very good wine lists by the glass, and will eat anything. Also, small plates place are OK, as long as they are at the level of cookery of the restaurants mentioned below.
Here are the choices I'm considering:
Sea Salt (this is my default restaurant, and will probably have a great meal here, but I do go there all the time for happy hour, so am hesitant to be that unadventurous)
Riva Cucina (again, have been here often, the owners are friends, and perhaps a little too familiar for this particular dinner)
Rivoli (same as above, except I haven't been in about 3 years)
Bay Wolf (haven't been in about 3 years, was underwhelmed by everything but the duck pate the last time I went)
Lalimes (the new chef sounds exciting)
Oliveto (haven't been in forever, is this the time?)
Commis (maybe?)
Chez Panisse (haven't been downstairs since 2007)
A Cote?
Anything else exciting that I'm forgetting?
Here are the restaurants I am definitely not considering for various reasons:
Pizzaiolo (i'm in the minority, but find it overpriced and meh)
Flora (always had terrible service here, can't convince my posse to go, although I like the food)
Dona Tomas (many birthdays spent here)
Cafe Rouge (not special enough for dinner?)
We'll be about 5 people, I think. Thanks!
I would think Commis, but I'm not sure if it will meet your value criterion -- opinions seem to differ depending on how much value the diner places on their interest in what the chef is trying to do, rather then the results. I think the new menu at Lalime's would be my next choice -- did you see the post from yesterday?
I don't know if it's a high enough level of cuisine, but have you considered Bocanova?
I'd vote Commis. I did my birthday dinner there and had a wonderful meal. Service is stellar and the food is wonderful. I think the value is clearly there and having eaten there a couple of times can't quite understand the talk of small portions.
Otherwise, I always like Chez Panisse for a celebration.
À Côté can't be beat for wines by the glass.
The one other place I'd put on a list like that is Wood Tavern. Maybe Corso as well.
I think Oliveto is better than ever. Pricey but worth it.
The food at Bocanova is really good. I was surprised.
I'm curious about Lalime's, now, so I'd probably go there. I also like A Cote a lot. You could add Five to your list. My dinner there was uneven but the room is birthday-ish.
Another vote for Commis, as I had an amazing birthday dinner there a month ago. When you say something that will push your limits or surprise you, that's the first place that came to mind. Depends on your budget, though, obviously, but if you're considering Oliveto and Chez Panisse as well, I thought Commis was great bang for the buck in this price range.
The only drawback is that it's a tiny space, and I don't know if any of the tables are actually big enough for five. Anyone know what they do for larger groups there?
Otherwise, I like Wood Tavern as well.
re: abstractpoet
We had a six top there for my birthday.
For the experience and the $$ my suggestion would be the annual crab feast at the U.C. Berkeley Faculty Club. It is a phenomenal all-you-can-eat crab and seafood buffet and as much wine as anyone would want - all for $40.00 per person. You must know a member and if you're interested email me and I'll get your party in. In the meantime, go to www.berkeleyfacultyclub.com to see the facility. It will be Friday, January 15th.
So the small birthday dinner grew into a 20 person gathering, and all the restaurants I was considering no longer seemed like viable options. So I went waaaay off-course and decided to do a banquet at China Village instead.
I worked with Mr. Yao to replace items on the $238/10 ppl (which we doubled) menu to make it more vegetarian friendly. In addition to the standard cucumber appetizer and spicy beef tendon, we got a subtle and delicious yuba appetizer lightly slicked with sesame oil, and a peanut/pressed tofu appetizer. Our calamari and shrimp first course was simple and spectacular, a light garlic wine sauce fully showcasing juicy prawns and well-knifed calamari. This was followed by the only disappointing course - "dry shredded beef in special sauce." I was somehow expecting the spicy shredded beef with celery, and this version was pallid and soupy. When I shared this with our excellent waiter, he comped us a dish of the beef with celery, which became the favorite of the evening at both tables. The smoked duck with chilies was very, very good, with just the right amount of sichuan pepper offsetting the richness of the duck. I'm not a fan of sweeter meat preparations, so this version of duck was perfect for me, and a hit with the other guests. Salt and pepper crab was *excellent* with a nice hit again of sichuan pepper. The Westside Spicy Fish Soup delivered on drama, as expected, and was redolent with chili warmth, on target. The next few dishes were vegetarian - A-vegetable with fermented tofu, eggplant, and julienned potato. The comic element of the evening was the much touted "fancy" vegetarian dish - tree ear mushrooms with tofu. When it arrived, Mr. Yao said - this has pork in it, because we tried it without the pork and it didn't taste good!" Ha! Well, that meant one less dish for the vegetarian at the table. My favorite dish of the evening was the pork shoulder with perfectly cooked florets of bok choy balancing out the heat and 5 spice of the sauce. Hand-cut noodles were on the house in honor of my birthday, and the Eight Treasure rice pudding was beautiful to look at! Beer flowed throughout, we brought our own wines and champagne, but all told, including corkage, tax and tip, the bill came out to $37 per person. An amazing value, and a wonderful birthday celebration.
Now, I'm going to use the recommendations above and check out each of the restaurants you all suggested, especially Commis and Bocanova!

text: This is a well-maintained trail through meadows and forests to reach a set of mountain lakes. From the trail head, youll step onto your first wooden pathway constructed to keep your feet out of the mud. The trail will be a mix of those wooden planks and dirt and rocks. Despite what the sign at the trail head says, Fehr Lake is .43 miles away. Stay on the trail walking around the north edge of that lake before turning southeast. At 1.31 miles is a pond some people confuse for Shepard Lake. Shepard Lake is actually downhill from the pond, 1.59 miles from the trail head. (That is not what the trail head sign tells you.) You can continue on to Hoover Lake, but it is again not as close as the trail head sign tells you. The ascent back to the trail head is steep until you pass Fehr Lake. $6 (Mirror Lake access pass)

I'm not usually one to moan however I felt like giving my impression of the encounter on this occasion.
She was pretty easy, we expected to one shot her and we weren't surprised by that. I'm not fussed that some content is easy; the game has changed for the better in my opinion.
When it was announced my first thought was that it was being nostalgic for the sake of it. I'm sure some were enthralled at the prospect of doing old content again but personally I would have preferred fresh things to get my teeth into. Did it feel like doing it at 60? Did I come over all nostalgic, like an older gent reminiscing about the war? No.
I suppose for me the excitement of doing Onyxia originally came from the feel of running in with 39 other people, having to work on the encounter and the grandeur that surrounded it.
We were fine with having one shoted her, It was only a disappointment that it didn't give the feeling it used to. It's a shame really.
Deadly. Off. Topic. said...
"We were fine with having one shoted her"
I do not think that word means what you think it means.
Seriously, I think you meant, first attempt only and you killed her, cuz if you one shoted her, I'd wonder where you got Martin's Fury from.

TORONTO -- Maximiliano Urruti is the latest prospective saviour for Toronto FC.
The 22-year-old striker was officially introduced to the media Friday, ending a months-long quest to lure the talented Argentine from Newell's Old Boys in his native country to Major League Soccer.
"Finally, it all came together. The news is great news for everyone," Urruti told reporters before leaving with his new teammates for a flight to Columbus and a game against the Crew on Saturday night.
"Now it's time to get to work."
While terms of the deal between Toronto and the Argentine club were not disclosed, and neither the player nor TFC management would discuss details of what broke the logjam between the two sides, team president Kevin Payne said the youngster is signed through 2015 with club options after that.
"We hope that he's a player that can be an important player here for years to come and part of the young group that we're really trying to build around and make the nucleus of Toronto FC," Payne said of Urruti, who he and chief scout Pat Onstad first became aware of while still working for D.C. United.
Urruti will not be the club's third designated player alongside Dutch striker Danny Koevermans and fellow Argentine Matias Laba, a midfielder signed earlier this season.
Payne called Urruti "a very clean and sharp forward" who moves well, has decent size, is good on the ball and can take people on whether he plays up top of the formation or underneath.
"He's shown, when he has the opportunities, that he knows where the net is," Payne said of Urruti, who scored 14 goals in 56 matches for Newell's Old Boys. "It'll take Maxi a little bit of time to get accustomed to the league and get fully fit but we're excited about it."
Urruti began training with TFC on Wednesday and pronounced himself fit and ready to go if called upon Saturday in Columbus. But head coach Ryan Nelsen suggested that role, if any, would be small early on.
"He hasn't done much in quite a bit of time so we're going to ease him in," Nelsen said. "But, you never know."
Urruti joins a club that has had revolving door in the locker-room over its seven-year history. The tremendous turnover has seen most of those expected to have a huge impact and a long stay at TFC sent packing, including Dwayne DeRosario, Julian de Guzman, Pablo Vitti and Luis Silva.
Urruti, who said a phone conversation with Laba made him feel very comfortable about signing with Toronto, is "well aware" of TFC's past and current struggles but is excited to play and have an impact.
"I'm ready and willing to go, score goals and do what I've got to do to get the team ahead," he said.
Both Nelsen and Payne went out of their way to temper expectations on Urruti coming in and filling nets around MLS, noting achieving game fitness and adjusting to the league will take some time.
But it's clear the Reds (4-11-8) can use some scoring touch. With 21 goals in 23 matches, Toronto has the third fewest in the 19-team league, ahead of only D.C. United at 13 and the 20 scored by Chivas USA. A goalless drought of 423 minutes snapped last month is the league's second-longest in 2013.
"We've been defending well but we need to be finishing," said midfielder Bobby Convey.
Columbus (7-11-5) comes in off a 2-0 home win over the New York Red Bulls last week, which snapped a three-game losing streak. The Crew will be looking to avenge a 2-1 loss at BMO Field last month in which Toronto scored two late goals to capture its first win at their home stadium in more than a year.
Last week's 2-1 home loss to the Seattle Sounders typified the season in many respects. The Reds carried the play against one of the league's better teams but two sloppy plays defensively and an inability to capitalize on chances created at the offensive end spelled the difference in the match.
Despite the defeat, Toronto has played its best soccer of the season in recent weeks. The Reds have earned seven points from their past four matches, including the first two-game win streak in more than a year. Along the way they have looked stronger at the back and posted a pair of shutouts.
"We're improving all the time and it's about keeping on doing that," said Robert Earnshaw, TFC's leading scorer with six goals.
Earnshaw came on last week as a second-half substitute after missing three games with a hamstring injury and hit the post with what would have been the equalizing goal.

Could political anger really be on its way out?
"When politics is not saturated by crisis, the months after a presidential election generally bring a cooler climate to Washington. We've been in a hot phase since about late 2005, when anger over the Iraq War peaked, and three massive change elections followed, in 2006, 2008, and 2010. Anger has been the prevailing tone of politics since the recession began, and the failure, before the arrival of the Occupy movement, of the President, Democratic politicians, and most progressive organizations to master the politics of anger has been central to the story of the last few years. But anger is a difficult force to sustain. Whether it's left-populist anger, right-populist anger, or the anger of bankers whose bonuses are smaller than expected, it burns bright and eventually burns out."
- Mark Schmitt, "Why 2012 May Mark the End of an Era of Political Anger"

Haha The New Republic is so idiotic and centrist you guys. "Hey we wrote a whole article about how political anger is so over because we just need to fill pages I guess." You're fucking worthless.


text: Despite that dirty great come-on of a title, this South Korean curio's as much arthouse as Grindhouse. Only 60 minutes long, it still finds time to meander, with monologues, two full credit rolls (top and tail) and the constant cackling of sick, schoolgirl-schtupping teacher Dae-tong Kim. Director Gee-woong Nam's mix of woozy, neon-streaked flavour will induce both yawns and gawps.

good bread, it's meant to be short lived...
I just wanted to say it's a very good bread and to disregard reviews about lifetime. This bread packaged like this means you are meant to eat it fast, but it's much better. If you want long life sliced bread go for the other packagings.

Great bread shame it's always stale
Great bread keeps much better in the paper rather than the plastic bags which always leave the bread a bit "sweaty". By why oh why do Ocado find it impossible to deliver bread with more than one or two days life? Surely it is only poor ordering as every other supermarket manages to offer fresh bread-even the corner shops. This is one of my only bugs with Ocado who do not seem to listen to their customers at all on this!

Lovely Bread, always short dated!!
I think this is the best bread around, but I am always disappointed by a use by date 2 days ahead. I love ocado but am going to have to start getting my bread from the garage, where I can often get it dated 5 or 6 days ahead.

Worst Bread Ever.
I had a loaf delivered amongst my other groceries. But this bread was the pits. Soggy, no taste. It didn't even taste cooked. Do they steam their bread instead of oven baking? It didn't have the texture of real bread. Just a congealed mush like putty. And what scared me most was the only piece I tried - even after chewing - when trying to swallow, it lodged in my throat - I really thought I was about to choke. NEVER EVER WILL I BUY THIS BREAD AGAIN.

Great product, just not fresh.
My favourite bread by far! Just don't buy it from Ocado. Ours delivered today needs to be fully consumed by the end of tomorrow! That's going to be a struggle even for us... Will stick to getting this from our local Tesco Express.

Environment & Energy
WSP Environment & Energy was retained by an insurer to evaluate and develop environmental liability estimates for a portfolio of approximately 300 retail service stations that had been divested to a third party.
WSP reviewed the insured's remediation estimates and plans for each site, and developed a comprehensive database of the site conditions, remedial obligations, remediation status, regulatory status, and project cost estimates. A detailed evaluation of the estimates was prepared.
WSP then worked closely with an insurer, insurance broker, and the two major oil companies who had retained liabilities for the site cleanup to develop a liability transfer program that would protect not only the new owner, but also the two parties involved in the divestiture of the property portfolio.
The program provided insurance coverage of approximately $25 million in excess of an estimated cleanup expense of $50 million. The insurance program included known remediation obligations and future claims for third party cleanup, bodily injury, and property damage; the indemnity did not have a fixed time period. The insurance also provided coverage for newly discovered, pre-existing conditions, identified during the policy period.

/agree with Elwoods!
But on-topic: I agree things should be relevant (like the World Event achieves-- gotta do them while the event's going on) BUT going back to do, for example, MC past its relevance is an achievement in a way, too. Some people couldn't be bothered with going back and doing old raids because they're just that: OLD. No relevant loot, nothing special, nada zip zilch, I wave my hand at Magmadar and /yawn, he falls down, etc.
For some people, the incentive of getting an achievement is enough. A lot of people, like me, have never seen the content and *want* to just experience it, even if it's a watered down version of it. I did it at 70 with some friends: It was still challenging to a degree and, for people who were now used to flying around Outland, we had to find the nearest flight path and then ride there by ground. Plus, there's attunement! So what was originally one run and maybe two hours of romping through fiery doom is now two runs and three or more hours of romping through rocky fiery doom plus fiery doom.
If anything, the achievement that pops up at the end of the run, regardless of level, is a hat tip to those who have the dedication to go there past its relevance, whatever their reasons (or lack of reasons) might be for doing it. As much as I would like to have been there at the opening of Ahn'Qiraj or the Dark Portal on BC launch, I wasn't and I don't have that achievement. I can say hi to AQ and Blasted Lands as much as I like and still won't get it. An idea that I'm sure has been brought up many times by many people is to have a tiered system for achievements like this-- e.g. an achievement for doing it at level 60 (or below 70) with an appropriate group of peers as opposed to an achievement for just doing the instance at a higher level.

From A View To A Spread
March 10th, 2010
Denisa was asked questions about her life between photo shoots. She's a nude model with old-school style. Denisa doesn't sleep around but she could easily find a new dude every day of the week if she wanted to. All she needs to do is wear something low-cut. She's approached by men every day wherever she goes. Young, old, in-between. All ages want to ride her in the sack for an hour. But she's an old-fashioned girl. Denisa thinks there's something about her that makes her look easy although she's not sure what it is. She wants to go out on dates with respectful men, not suck off a guy right away because he pulls his cock out of his fly and tells her to open her mouth. She plays hard to get because her mother warned her about guys and what they're after. Denise says she doesn't tell guys she meets what she does because then they'd get ideas, think she's fast and loose. If they knew she took her clothes off for an American big-boob photo studio, she'd have black and blue marks all over her ass from being pawed and pinched. She's looking for Mr. Right, not Mr. Right Now, a guy who she can take orders from and depend on.

Google CEO Eric Schmidt, along with co-author UC Berkeley professor Hal Varian,, has written: "Google's Ten Golden Rules" for Newsweek on getting the most out of knowledge workers. Google's 10 Golden Rules are:
- Hire by committee
- Cater to their every need
- Pack them in
- Make coordination easy
- Eat your own dog food
- Encourage creativity
- Strive to reach consensus
- Don't be evil (Note: we knew it had to be there somewhere)
- Data drive decisions
- Communicate effectively
Obviously, the article has a bit of discussion about each rule. I'm going to take some time to analyze. More later. I also wouldn't doubt that Danny and Chris will also share some thoughts later on. Thanks to Greg Linden for the news tip (Greg also has a few thoughts from previous posts that he includes).
I would love to read other search CEO's share their golden rules. I wonder if Semel, Berkowitz, Gates/Ballmer, and even the leaders of smaller engines are already working on their lists. How do they compare.

This script is mostly for fun, people! The definition of scientist here is pretty darn broad, and anyone who works in or has worked in some kind of scientific research, or who has a degree in a scientific field or is seriously studying for one, is welcome to Memail me (my username is "Scientist") and get on the List of Scientists. Both natural and social scientists are totally valid scientists here, and it doesn't matter where you're at in your career or your education as long as you are working in your field, have worked in your field, or have serious aspirations of doing so. Citizen-scientists, engineers, and mathematicians are considered on a case-by-case basis, but will generally be considered scientists if they want to identify as such.I hope that's OK with everyone, because I like it and I'm inclined to leave it this way so if you're still unhappy I guess you'll just have to, like, adjust your perspective or something. ;-)
Bear in mind that the script makes no distinction between any of the many and varied types of scientist who are out there in the world, and that it would be very silly of you to consider anybody an automatic authority on whatever they happen to be talking about just because they have a little microscope icon next to their name. The script is meant to help facilitate that "Hey! This person is a scientist!" moment that comes up in threads from time to time when people enthuse about their field or stop by a thread to provide a little expert perspective, but is by no means an authoritative directory of who to believe on any given topic. I would love it if it helps people form connections, between scientists or between scientists and non-scientists, and maybe provides a little fun context to the occasional comment. We love you all, scientists or not!

Ironically, the Colorado Avalanche played much better hockey in Tuesday night's loss to the San Jose Sharks than they did in their dramatic Sunday night win.
For the third straight contest, overtime was needed to decide a victor, and this time the Sharks scored their overtime goal in the correct net to win the game 2-1 and tie the series at 2-2, with Game 5 scheduled for Thursday in San Jose. The overtime hero for the Sharks was Joe Pavelski, who—halfway through the extra period—managed to skate through three Avs defenders and wrist the puck into the net to give his team the much-needed win.
"I was just trying to find an opening so I could hopefully get a shot on-net," said Pavelski about his game-winner.
"[Pavelski's shot] came through some legs so it was a good shot and there's not much else to say," said Avs goalie Craig Anderson. "I think we played well tonight. We deserve a different fate, but at the same time you have to give [the Sharks] credit."
The Avs did play well, especially compared to their last performance. They skated in the neutral zone much better, won races to the puck, cleared the puck out of their defensive zone with more efficiency, and were able to build and sustain some offensive pressure of their own.
Although the Avs were once again outshot by the Sharks, they narrowed the margin to a 45-34 difference (as opposed to the glaringly lopsided 51-17 difference in Game 3). Also, the Avs blocked twice as many shots as the Sharks, landed more hits (30-22), and won the face-off battle 35-29.
"Tonight I thought we responded well," said Avs head coach Joe Sacco. "I thought we had more energy than the last game. But when it gets into overtime it just takes one good shot and that's what happened tonight."
The Avs Paul Stasny kicked off the game with a high-sticking penalty just seconds into the game. The Sharks wasted no time scoring on the power play, as the Sharks' Ryane Clowe passed the puck behind him to Dan Boyle who, from the top-left circle, slapped a rocket into the net to give the Sharks an early 1-0 lead. This was the Sharks' first lead in regulation for the series.
For Boyle it was a goal of sweet redemption, as it was his blunder that put the Game 3 win in the Avs column.
"It was nice to see Danny Boyle score right off the bat," said Sharks head coach Todd McClellan. "I think that put Game 3 to rest in his mind and probably a lot of other players' minds, and so it was a real good start for us."
Much of the first period looked like a continuation of Sunday's game, with San Jose controlling the neutral zone, winning races to the loose pucks, and absolutely dominating the action while the Avs could barely cross the Sharks' blue line. Once again the puck seemed forever stuck in the Avs defensive zone by some strange magnetic force.
Towards the end of the first period the Avs offense suddenly came to life as they brought incessant waves of pressure onto the Sharks side of the ice and launched many good shots on-net. Despite the revitalized offense, the Avs were unable to score, and they went to the locker room down 1-0.
Just over four minutes into the second period, a penalty on the Sharks' Rob Blake gave the Avs their first power play of the night, and the Avs also wasted no time taking advantage of the opportunity. In the opening seconds of the power play, Stasny won the face off in the Sharks' zone, John-Michael Liles took a slap shot from the point, and a well-positioned Stasny deflected the puck into the net to tie the game at 1-1. The goal also provided the Denver crowd with a much-needed energy boost.
The rest of the period two saw action go back and forth with each defense doing an excellent job of breaking up plays and clearing the puck to extinguish any threats. At the close of the period, the Sharks brought a surge of pressure and got off a few good shots, but Anderson was once again ready for the intensity and made one brilliant save after another to keep the game tied.
Both teams looked tentative at the start of the third stanza, with each team skating very carefully to ensure that they didn't commit the fatal game-deciding mistake. At the 13:00 mark, the Sharks took charge of the ice and brought steady offensive heat, but Anderson was willing to play hero again as he stopped each threat by making a series of great saves without allowing any rebounds.
The final minutes of regulation found the Avs in the Sharks zone launching good shots towards the net, but Sharks' goalie Evgeni Nabokov also played the role of hero by making crucial stops against the Avalanche rush. With solid defense and even better goaltending on both sides of the ice, neither team could score and for the third straight game overtime was needed to settle the issue.
The first half of the overtime period yielded good chances for each team, but once again the net-minders took turns making great saves to keep the game tied. Then, around the 10:00 of the extra session, Pevelski zipped through three Avs defenders and scored with a beautiful top-shelf goal to give the Sharks the win and to even up the series at 2-2.
"It's a best of three now, and that's all we're going after," said McClellan, who credited much of the win to the solid play of Nabokov. "Nabby made some very good saves…you could feel our bench settle down, so it was really important that Nabby performed the way he did tonight."
Anderson also played a gem of a game between the posts for the second game in a row, albeit in a loss. After Boyle scored his power play goal just one minute into the game, Anderson withstood one shark attack after another, blanking the top seeded Sharks for 59 minutes in regulation and 10 minutes of overtime to keep the Avs in the game.
"The guys have battled all series long, and tonight's no exception," said Anderson. "We battled hard all night tonight, and we did what we could. Obviously we'd like a better result, but at the end of the day, we can look ourselves in the mirror and know we gave it all.
"We just didn't get the bounce tonight. We'd like to see it the other way, but obviously that's the way it happened tonight."
"We played a good game tonight and it could've gone either way. It's playoff hockey, it's a battle," said Avs captain Adam Foote. "We're playing a heck of a series. [The Sharks] are battling hard; they've come out with their A game these last two nights, but we're competing and showing a lot of passion, showing that our young guys are fightin' them, and we're gonna keep going."
The Avs played more like a playoff team Tuesday night.
"I liked our energy," said Sacco. "I liked the way we spent more time in the offensive zone tonight, I thought we were able to sustain our fore-check and able to keep the play in their end more than we did last game. I think we're competing hard, I think our guys are really laying it on the line, and those are some positive things that you can take out of that game and moving into the next one."
Though Anderson seems to be wearing a cape and is very eager to play postseason hero for the Avalanche, if the Avs are going to have a chance to win the series they're going to need to utilize their superior skating abilities to generate offensive pressure and score goals.
"I always go back to the identity of our team: trying to use our speed, trying to play aggressive, making sure that we fore-check hard, and trying to take away time and space from the opposition," said the Avs coach. "We're just trying to go back to things we've done well in the past."
With the series tied, the pivotal Game 5 takes place Thursday night in San Jose.
"Now what we have is a best of three series," said Sacco, echoing McClellan's summation. "So I look forward to the next game."
