Mirecki hospitalized after beating
By Ron Knox, Eric Weslander (Contact)

Douglas County sheriffs deputies are investigating the reported beating of a Kansas University professor who gained recent notoriety for his Internet tirades against Christian fundamentalists.
Kansas University religious studies professor Paul Mirecki reported he was beaten by two men about 6:40 a.m. today on a roadside in rural Douglas County. In a series of interviews late this afternoon, Mirecki said the men who beat him were making references to the controversy that has propelled him into the headlines in recent weeks. Mirecki
I didnt know them, but Im sure they knew me, he said.
Mirecki said he was driving to breakfast when he noticed the men tailgating him in a pickup truck.
I just pulled over hoping they would pass, and then they pulled up real close behind, he said. They got out, and I made the mistake of getting out.
He said the men beat him about the upper body with their fists, and he said he thinks they struck him with a metal object. He was treated and released at Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
Im mostly shaken up, and I got some bruises and sore spots, he said.
Douglas County Sheriffs Officials are classifying the case as an aggravated battery. They wouldnt say exactly where the incident happened, citing the ongoing investigation
The sheriffs department is looking for the suspects, described as two white males between ages 30 and 40, one wearing a red visor and wool gloves, and both wearing jeans. They were last seen in a large pickup truck.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 843-TIPS or the sheriffs office at 841-0007.
Mirecki recently wrote online that he planned to teach intelligent design as mythology in an upcoming course. He wrote it would be a nice slap in the big fat face of fundamentalists.
The remarks caused an uproar, Mirecki apologized, and KU announced last week the class would be canceled.
Whatever Mirecki got wasn't bad enough.
I guess you had to see the skit to appreciate it.
Another victim of God Placemarker.
It was just an expression. Of course the libs are not in their right mind. Frankly, I'm starting to be concerned about a few on here, too.
I see where you're coming from. I tend to misunderestimate the capacity for folks to take absurd propositions and treat them seriously. If someone cannot recognize the sarcasm in those posts without the presence of an /s tag, my confidence in human communication will be minorly diminished in a major way.
Another Christian misleading for God.
Fester, I wondered if you were joking, and read the right way I don't find your original post about hiding in the bushes too dreadful. A little tasteless, but tastelessness can be the funniest thing.
The problem is that from where some of us are standing much creationist output in these threads reads like a parody, including yours. So we find it hard to tell the difference between your serious output and your humorous output. The /s tags are genuinely required.
For example when I first came across a creationist who openly approved of slavery I assumed that he was joking. It took a while for it to sink in that he was deadly serious.
For those familiar with the vehement nature displayed in your posting history, it is not too much of a stretch to assume sincerity in your recent comments on this subject.
Interesting position. Do you consider yourself to be a Christian?
Absurd propositions placemarker
LOL. Thats a new one.

Come on everybody, he wasn't badly damaged. It's time to laugh, especially for those who are particularly vitriolic.
Come on, Mamz, put your money where your mouth is for once. Post your "evidence".
I realize it was just an expression. It was just a weak attempt at humor on my part. No offense, I hope.
WWJD? Hit 'em Again, For The Love of God!
I did see the skit. The skit was funny though. Therein lies the difference. :)
There is indeed magic fruit, but generally yeast must be involved somewhere.
You're right, of course. Since the insult brigade has seen fit to take this one over like all the others, count me out of this one.
I like them both, but I think we should also add the approprite rag with them.
My first would be the Boston Hearald.
Antonello - How about the Washington Post?
HMBA (is that a Harvard MBA? - Hhhhmmmmm??) - New York Post?
Now, what rag would that come from?
My last could be from the Hamtramck News.
WorldNet Daily, without a doubt, though Agape Press might carry it too.
I like it. Maybe he should reinstall the course. The sympathy factor should increase enrollment.
I'm with you. I think this was staged for sympathy or to malign Creationists.
However... in an Islamofascist culture, this guy would have been publicly filleted for heresy. MUSLIMS BELIEVE IN CREATION. Praise God our founders believed in "Freedom" OF (not FROM) religion.
They want to create enough noise to tempt RINOs in office to shun the rightward religious--just keep screaming the same thing long enough, they hope, and they'll chip off some political support. Create enmity--win an election.
Maybe that would explain a few things...
Wonder if there'll be an interview of our victim-of-the-day on O'Reilly--Oprah?
"Who wants to take bets that this turns out to be phony?"
No bets here, either.
"described as two white males between ages 30 and 40, one wearing a red visor and wool gloves, and both wearing jeans. They were last seen in a large pickup truck."
This seems to have been lifted from the "Easy Rider" script.
Hatrack, was your grandpa a fish?
And there is a crazy deranged liberal secular humanist professor at Princeton
who advocates essentially Nazi eugenic ideas for murdering children.
Can it get much crazier than that?
These are not exactly the most emotionally well-balanced people on the planet.
Liberal secular humanists say and do VERY deranged and insane things.
Being firm in one's convictions and expressing them vehemently is one thing. Advocating, or rejoicing in, a forced molecular rearrangement of a deluded professor is another. As one who is accountable before almighty God for my attitudes and actions, I am reasonably comfortable in recognizing moral repugnancies. At the same time I am puzzled to find moral outrage on the part of those who advocate anything but almighty God as present and active in the creation. Hence I was only stooping to their level in declaring that this incident is merely "nature taking its course." Incidentally, I believe if you look at the professor's original words you will not find a sarcasm tag attached or implied.
LOL! And what the heck is a red visor??
Yeah. Wonder if there was a shotgun in the gun-rack, a hound in the truck-bed, Elvis playing on the 8-track, a Bush bumper sticker, King James Bible on the dashboard, and one of their pregnant sister/wives keeping the engine running?
I guess he (they) must mean a ball cap. Red--for red state redneck. Red pickup truck. We've got to fill all the particulars.
This thread is an embarrassment to FR.
Another Christian misleading for God.
You know it doesn't count if they lie to infidels....
"See a Christian would never act in this manner, there is a Book that defines what is acceptable and what is NOT, and this does not fit a Christian profile."
Unfortunately, this Christian has seen many a hateful Christian who do exactly this sort of thing. Even a few that would blow up abortionists in the name of Christ.
Just because they are saved means little; we're all still works in progress.

The Reds moved provisionally top of the Super Rugby table after a late penalty from Quade Cooper saw them edge the Blues 12-11.
The Reds moved provisionally top of the Super Rugby standings after a late penalty from Quade Cooper saw them edge past the Blues 12-11 on Friday.
It looked like being the New Zealand conference pace-setter's day when the second-half remained scoreless at 9-11 in favour of the hungry Blues.
However, an offence at a Reds driving maul in the 75th minute led to Wallaby fly-half outcast Cooper stepping up to seal four vital points in Brisbane.
The result leaves the Reds two points clear of the Brumbies, who play the Force on Saturday while the Blues are two above the Chiefs, who tackle the Sharks so both could drop down the ladder.
Penalties were exchanged between Cooper and Chris Noakes in the first 12 minutes as both sides traded one shot against each other in an exciting opening at Suncorp Stadium.
Cooper knocked over his second attempt three minutes later after the Blues were penalised at a ruck by South African referee Craig Joubert before debutant Albert Nikoro landed a long-range effort from 50 metres that tied things up at six apiece. It was a fair reflection of the proceedings.
The steady Cooper was on hand to make it 9-6 off the kicking tee with 29 minutes gone after Blues loosehead prop Tom McCartney was penalised for illegal scrummaging. But that only served to stir the Blues to life as sustained pressure led to centre Jackson Willison sliding over in the corner for an unconverted try. That score made it 9-11 to the Blues at the break.
The second-half was one of missed opportunities as the action remained scoreless after wing Nikoro missed from distance before Cooper shanked a simple penalty to the left.
The Blues were holding on despite being under serious pressure from the Reds while offering regular threats of their own, with Rene Ranger prominent at outside centre.
However, a late offence from Blues openside Daniel Braid coming around the side at a maul allowed Cooper to have his moment and put Ewen McKenzie's side top of the pile.
The scorers:
For Reds:
Pen: Cooper 4
For Blues:
Tries: Willison
Pen: Noakes, Nikoro
Reds: 15 Jono Lance, 14 Rod Davies, 13 Anthony Faingaa, 12 Ben Tapuai, 11 Digby Ioane, 10 Quade Cooper, 9 Will Genia, 8 Jake Schatz, 7 Liam Gill, 6 Ed Quirk, 5 James Horwill (c), 4 Rob Simmons, 3 James Slipper, 2 Saia Faingaa, 1 Ben Daley.
Replacements: 16 James Hanson, 17 Greg Holmes, 18 Ed O'Donoghue, 19 Jarrad Butler, 20 Ben Lucas, 21 Chris Feauai-Sautia, 22 Dom Shipperley.
Blues: 15 Charles Piutau, 14 Frank Halai, 13 Rene Ranger, 12 Jackson Willison, 11 Albert Nikoro, 10 Chris Noakes, 9 Piri Weepu, 8 Peter Saili, 7 Luke Braid, 6 Steven Luatua, 5 Ali Williams, 4 Culum Retallick, 3 Angus Ta'avao, 2 James Parsons, 1 Tom McCartney.
Replacements: 16 Keven Mealamu, 17 Ofa Tu'ungafasi, 18 Ronald Raaymakers, 19 Brendon O'Connor, 20 Jamison Gibson-Park, 21 Baden Kerr, 22 Francis Saili.

The Emery Spartan boys baseball team won their 2nd region contest last week with a 3-2 decision that went into extra innings. The Spartans won in the bottom of the 9th inning as the Delta pitcher walked in the winning run.
Chandler Pearson, who pitched a great game against Lehi last week, struck out 13 Rabbits in the 7 innings he worked this week. Bowie Jeffs pitched in relief the last 2 innings and picked up the victory.
Pearson started strong with 8 strikeouts in the first 3 innings. In the 6th inning, three Emery errors lead to the first Delta run as they tied up the game at 1-1. In the 7th inning, two Delta hits, a walk and an error led to another run but Emery's defense got the last out as Delta had the bases loaded. The game was now tied at 2-2.
Jeffs allowed a single to start the 9th inning before Josh Eden at 3rd base fielded a grounder and got the out at 1st base and then Eden caught a fly for the 2nd out. Jeffs then struck out the last batter on 3 pitches.
Wes Baletka singled in the 4th inning and scored on a Pearson double to left center field to give Emery its first run and the lead. Baletka singled again in the 6th inning, stole 2nd and 3rd bases and scored again on another Pearson hit.
Emery's last run came in the 9th inning. Daniel Luke opened with a walk, Chandler Tanner got aboard via an error by the first baseman that put Emery runners at 2nd and 3rd bases with no outs. Brady Larsen was intentionally walked to load the bases. Conlee Luke worked the count to 3-2 before the Delta pitcher threw another ball to walk in the winning run. Emery had won the long lasting game 3-2 and took their region record to 2-1. They play at North Sanpete on April 6 in their next contest.

William E. Stroud
Longtime Cortez resident William E. Stroud died Tuesday, Feb. 12, 2013, at his home. He had turned 86 two weeks earlier.
Known as Bill, he was born to Hugh and Beatrice Stroud on Jan. 25, 1927, in Pueblo. He grew up in Rocky Ford. His father left when Mr. Stroud was 7, and Mr. Strouds Uncle Leonard Stroud took him under his wing. Leonard Stroud was a world champion trick and fancy rider. When Mr. Stroud turned 16 and got his drivers license, he drove his uncle and Western movie star Tom Mix around, listening to Old West stories while the men competed on the summer rodeo circuit. Mr. Stroud would later spend hundreds of hours collecting photos to help improve his uncles exhibit at the Rodeo Hall of Fame.
After serving in the Merchant Marines, he went to Western State College in Gunnison and played basketball for the Mountaineers.
After graduation in 1949, he moved to Cortez as head basketball coach, also assisting in football and baseball. During his first year, he met Laura Maye Wheeler, and they were married Aug. 21, 1950, in Cortez.
In 1955, the Strouds moved to California, where Mr. Stroud was the head basketball coach at Porterville Junior College.
They returned to Cortez in 1958 and opened the Cork n Bottle liquor store. In 1960, Mr. Stroud began working to build a golf course in Cortez, which is chronicled in History of the Cortez Golf Course by Paul Glaviano. After completion of the front nine holes, he helped rehabilitate Stoner Ski Area.
In 1971, when Mr. Stroud sold the liquor store and became the golf professional at Cortez Municipal Golf Course, he worked on completing the back-nine holes. He taught many people how to play the game. He started the junior golf program and organized the first junior golf tournaments. He helped organize the first All-Indian golf tournament.
Mr. Stroud always found time to play city league basketball, playing until he was 56.
After seeing a need for flexible membrane liners to prevent polluting leakage from ponds, Mr. Stroud founded Environmental Liners Inc., in 1982. For several decades, it was an important source of employment in Cortez, with crews traveling throughout the United States for installations. He turned the operation of the business over to his son in 1987 and continued to serve on the board of directors until 1999.
In January 2012, Mr. Stroud received the Cortez Citizen of the Year award for his many contributions to the community.
Mr. Stroud was preceded in death by his wife of 59 years, Laura Stroud, in 2010.
He is survived by his son, Stuart Stroud; and two grandsons.
A celebration of life will take place during the Pinto Bean Golf Classic in August. Details will be announced at a later date.

September 20 2010 02:26PM
It is one of our favourite days here at the OilersNation. The day where we all go out on a limb and declare our Star for the upcoming season.
For the uninitiated, we started picking our favourite player and our designated whipping Goat back in 2005. We did so as a means of being able to later gloat "man, did we ever pick the best Star this year" and also be able to gleefully flay our Goat night after night, game after game without mercy or concern of "being a bad fan" during the season.
Picking your star and making him "your guy" for the year can be richly rewarding. We always think back to our buddy Lee who picked Pisani to have a breakout year back in 2006. As he tore the playoffs a new corn chute, Lee was held in equally high regard as Saint Fernando himself. With each passing goal, we would shake our heads in wonder.
Not at Pisani having an out of body experience for two months - but at our buddy who had the foresight to call it. That's the kind of glory Star pickers can get if it is done right.
Generally our Star will fold under the immense pressure of living with our fanboy endorsement and we will spend the season shaking our heads at what we were thinking back in early September. It's virtually a kiss of death.
2005-06: Chris Pronger (had great season, broke our collective hearts after)
2006-07: Ryan Smyth (traded at during the season, broke our collective hearts)
2007-08: Shawn Horcoff (lit the lamp like crazy, got hurt)
2008-09: Erik Cole (played like crap, demanded to go back to Carolina)
2009-10: Mike Comrie (led the league in preseason scoring, spent majority of the year on the shelf, signed elsewhere)
With a track record that stellar, we spent the weekend in deep, deep meditation thinking about who would be the Star for 2010. We like to go with players that aren't the obvious choice. Picking Ales Hemsky to crack the 50 point barrier takes about as much brains as calling Lindsay Lohan to be in porno within 3 years. Likewise picking Taylor Hall to have a good start to his illustrious career is equally safe. We like to find the unsung hero, the guy who is going to exceed his potential and show us all what he is made of.
Take a read of our pick and then name your own. If you are right you will be celebrated for all eternity in the pantheon of hockey geniuses. If you are wrong, well prepare for your own personal end of days.
Last year's Star picking generated some awesome drama. Horcoff boosters came out in droves as did many a Hemsky fan. Insults were traded and enemies made.
Here is a look at some of the better picks from last year:
Heh heh. Well played TB.
We respect this pick from bingofuel because he went out on a limb. But that is the risk part of "risk & reward."
The best Star call of the 2009-10 season clealy goes out to anyone who had the stones to pick Penner. The big man shook off a disastrous 2008-09 campaign and lit the lamp 32 times during the campaign. If you had told us this time last year that the Oilers would finish last in the league and yet no one would be mad at Penner we would have punched you squarely in your face for lying to us.
Not only did Victoria call Penner as her Star, she also called injuries on Khabibulin and named her the Goat for the year. This is basically a perfect game and the best combo of the 2009-10 season.
Picking Jordan Eberle - a 20 year old rookie who hasn't played a single game in the NHL - might seem like a bad idea. But on a team with more teenagers than a Justin Bieber concert, going with youth is probably the best move. We feel it is extraordinarily important that everyone understand that Jordan Eberle is going to be our boy. He's ours dammit. Go get your own Jordan Eberle. This one is all ours!
Picking the goat.
September 21 2010, 02:17AM
My star of the year is Sam Gagner. He takes the contract and the reins on the first line and shows that he can be the beating heart of this team. PP time and chemistry with the young guys earn him top spot when all is said and done.
September 21 2010, 02:20AM
Star: MPS 61 Points 78 Games
Hes big, fast, and has hands!!!!!
September 21 2010, 03:14AM
Star-Tommy Gilbert. If the end of last year was any indication of how he's going to look this year, he will be our best player, hands down. Gilbert and Whitney could put up big numbers if any of these speedy wingers learned how to catch a pass on the fly this summer(here's hoping)
September 21 2010, 04:53AM
Llike many others, I'm picking Sam Gagner as my star
September 21 2010, 05:58AM
Star player for the Oilers this year will be Linus Omark..lets just hope Tom Renney doesn't bury him on the fourth line all season, even then he'll light it up like Nobody's business. That's what I'm talking about.
September 21 2010, 06:14AM
Well, I don't comment much (at all really) but I love this site. It's pretty much the 1st place I stop in the morning for all my Oiler info!! Keep up the good work team! Being this is my 2nd post EVER on the Nation, I wanted it to be a good one but have been flip flopping immensely. I'm trying to heed Wanye's advice and not take the safe bet. I was originally going to take Whitney as I think with the repaired foot and how well he played last year before the surgery he is going to have a great year. That being said and being from O-Town, (drum roll please) I'm going to take Darth Gerber (homage to your SWvsST video Wayne). I think Gerbs was the shizzel here when he started before Crazy Ray Emery got the nod and is going to show all the nay-sayers wrong. So book it, Martin Gerber for this guy's star pick this year!
September 21 2010, 06:21AM
Ryan Whitney, At the end of the year there gonna say "should have made him captain"
September 21 2010, 06:44AM
Well, if going out on a limb is rewarded, I'm picking Cogs, this is his year to show us something.
September 21 2010, 06:48AM
Star: Eberle. He was ready to play last year, but the Oilers chose to send him back to junior (SMRT)
He's going to impress people this year.
September 21 2010, 07:55AM
star- Renney. the team will play so much better with systems, line matching and other forms of witchcraft* *as Quinn sees it
September 21 2010, 08:08AM
I am going with Andrew Cogliano He has a new attitude and I think he has learned a lot from two places What not to do from Patrick O Sullivan and what to do to be a pro from Sam wise #89 I really don't expect his points to be better than say MPS but he will endear himself to this team, city and even us on the Sphere. We are not going to have a clue where this new Andrew was hiding all this time.But we are going to love him!!! I am officially now out on a limb!!!!
September 21 2010, 08:13AM
The other player I am expecting a surprise from is the Big Mac He has dropped some weight and I bet really cranked up his cardio in an effort to be less of a liability. He will never be a man with soft hands but If I see him in more then 10 games this year and scoring 3+ goals I will consider that a great improvement. I am predicting 6 goals in 15+ games.
September 21 2010, 08:36AM
Star: Cogliano Goat: Strudwick
September 21 2010, 08:49AM
I'm going to go with the best player on the team to be the best player....Ales Hemsky.
The kid finally has some talent to play with, the possibility of 3 lines that can score, and some serious team toughness to protect him.
If he stays healthy, this is the year we find out how really good he is....
September 21 2010, 08:52AM

(* does math 82/30x6= 16 goals)
I want some of the kool-aid you're drinking brother!
September 21 2010, 09:11AM
Star = Cogliano. Renny's style and his own new-found determination will help this year.
September 21 2010, 09:17AM
Shawn Belle.
Book it.
September 21 2010, 09:24AM
Looks like I'm not the only one
Star = Gagner
September 21 2010, 09:27AM
Taylor Hall will become Andrew Cogliano's body gaurd this year. 30 goals 30 assists for Cogs and 4 fights for Taylor Hall.
September 21 2010, 09:43AM
Star - I have to go with Penner again because he has to prove last year was not a fluke.
Ender and Arch - I totally agree with you - should have been Seguin.
September 21 2010, 09:55AM
Y'see this is a guy who gets it. Some people just shoot it all way to early and save nothing for round 2*
*(fill in thats what she said later)
Note: It slays me that you hold a position of such high regard RT and yet are one of the most clutch Citizens going. I laugh heartily thinking about how some poor bastard gets a bill daily for your time on here.
Unfortunately I do work sometimes. That's why I didn't see this until today.
*rubs hands in anticipation of making his goat pick*
September 21 2010, 10:11AM
OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD!!!!!! Wanye talked to me!!!!
September 21 2010, 10:15AM
The last Canadian to be drafted 1st overall AND win the Calder - The Magnificent One.
Some greats couldn't do it (Sidney, Vinny, Jumbo Joe, Stamkos, Nash) but I think Hall has the gusto to getter done.
For that he is my STAR.
September 21 2010, 10:19AM
Star - Cogs all the way, finaly he is going back to playing with someone who can skate and will show he's a player. Goat - Horcoff, worst contract in hockey
September 21 2010, 10:40AM
Trust me*.
Mr Horcoff will get the 'C', net 20 goals, take 128,393,246 defensive zone faceoffs, mentor a pile of young kids, and finish near 0 in +/-... that's star material for a 30th place team.
* Trust me at your own risk, I chose JFJ as my star last year.
September 21 2010, 10:52AM
star- brule goat- all of our goalies
September 21 2010, 10:55AM
Star: Taylor Hall
He is the golden boy and face of the franchise. He is a star in the making in the NHL and he is the person most Oiler fans are clamoring to see. Regardless if he is outscored by Eberle and/or Paajarvi, Hall is the center of attention.
September 21 2010, 12:01PM
If MacIntyre scores 6 goals in 15 games, he'll play a lot* more then 15 games....

Like I said I am out on a limb here I agree its just a little nuts but I really expect to see him more than last year because the kids are such important assets and them getting hurt is more of a liability than loosing and having another top draft pick. As far as the Kool-aid goes if I'm looking really stupid at the end (Very likely) Well then I will have to eat more than KoolAid, Crow comes to mind or a boiled flames hat. but is that not the whole fun of it! If it was safe where is the fun in that!

My Star for 10/11 is Ryan Whitney. His experience on the back end will be a calming influence. GOILERS!!!
September 21 2010, 12:19PM
I think this is the year big Devan Dubnyk steps up and shows he was worth that #14 pick. He'll let in some bad goals but cement himself into the #1 role.
Star - Devan Dubnyk
September 21 2010, 12:30PM
Alrighty, boys and girls, I'm ready to get in on this (lil late, pardon moi). Mark my words, you've heard it here first. My star prediction for this year is the one, the only: RYAN JONES! Ya, that's right, he will have a Glencross-like year for the Oil, bringing some major peanut butter and jam to our bottom nine. Not as many goals as the "real stars" of the team, but I'm calling him to step up in a major way with some BIG goals at big times and to be a penalty-drawing machine.
***I'm also calling Hemsky to become Renney's Jagr this year and have the best season to date of his career. MPS for Calder!***
September 21 2010, 12:42PM
Dont you just hate it when there is nothing left for round TWO!!!
September 21 2010, 12:50PM
Star: Souray-Tambi-Cogs (this trio will be responsible for us getting the help we need in shutdown dman to play with and mentor Smid)
@Reijo Ruotsalainen's wicked slapper
Ummm...are you spiking your KoolAid? :)
6 goals in 15 games works out to 0.4 goals per game, and would be approximately 32 goals over the course of an 82 game schedule.
@Sheldon Oilers Fan for Life!!!
If Big Mac can average 3 goals over 10 games and not be a liability in his limited 4th line ice time he would be a 20+ goal man. Somehow I just don't see that happening, more likely he ends up with 2 goals over 15 or so games and averages close to a 10 fights over the same 15 games.
September 21 2010, 01:11PM
MAGNUS! MAGNUS! MAGNUS!.....best name ever. Star for sure.
September 21 2010, 01:18PM
Sammy Ganger. It's totally gonna be his year this year after the end of last season.
September 21 2010, 01:35PM
Star= MPS Goat= The boozin wall
September 21 2010, 01:43PM
Star = Horcoff.
He will be a determined mo'fo', own the 'C' and will stay off the shelf.
September 21 2010, 02:20PM
Star = none other than #83, Ales Hemsky. 24G, 58A for 82 points. You'll see.
September 21 2010, 03:16PM
I just can't resist picking Stortini as my star. It is not so much the soft hands and scoring prowess that makes me want to choose him, but the intangibles that he brings to the game. I predict a Dustin Byfuglien sort of season, and that my friends makes him my star.
Star Runner Up: Cogliano who will make a Penner like transformation once he joins a line that is offensively minded (of which there shall be three).
It is written.
September 21 2010, 03:26PM
Star : MPS he will be the top rookie on this team
Goat : Horcoff, one year older does not make him any faster or improve that awesome one timer.You know the one where Hempsky's beautiful passes go to die.
September 21 2010, 04:49PM
My Star will be Horcoff. He will make everyone remember why Lowe signed him to that ridiculous contract with a career year netting 74+ points and having a 55% faceoff percentage. Look out world here comes Scorecoff.
September 21 2010, 05:07PM
Star - Horcoff (though Hemsky and Cogs - yes Cogs - will also shine)
Goat - Wanye and Eberle - not really a true goat, but a guy whose year does not live up to the hype - some of it could be in the AHL.
September 21 2010, 09:01PM
Whitney will be the Star this year on his way to the captaincy.
September 22 2010, 02:06PM
Penner gets my vote for star. He has lost weight (what, no more wheat based beverages?) and that takes motivation and discipline. I expect he will put up even better numbers than last season as a result.
September 22 2010, 05:21PM
Ales Hemsky - Is healthy, has something to prove after hearing his name bounced around in trade rumours all off season and he finally has skilled players to play with.
September 22 2010, 08:36PM
Kurtis Foster. He is flying under the radar somewhat right now but I think he will surprise a lot of Oiler fans this year. He has a hard shot but more importantly his shot is very accurate. I think he will only trail Tom Gilbert in pts by a d-man at the end of the season.
Lots of great options for stars this season, but if they hope to have any success, they'll need a goalie to step up and provide consistent netminding. When (not if) Khabi goes down, I'll pick Gerber as my star to put in a Roloson-like effort to elevate this team into an 8th place contender.
But really, the real star this season is going to be the three-headed rookie monster Ebhallarvi. Can't wait - this season should be a treat...

The Action Center was the hub for 12 other food pantries to collect their share of more than 90,000 pounds of frozen food on Wednesday, May 22.
Working with Elephant Talk — a local nonprofit obtains food from grocery stores and markets and delivers it to local pantries for free — volunteers and staff at the center helped pantries like the Arvada Community Food Bank, Denver Rescue Mission and Metro CareRing stock up on frozen food including blueberries, potatoes and bacon.
"The importance of days like this is on multiple levels," said Mag Strittmatter, executive director for the center. "Elephant Talk is a wonderful provider of food for an entire network of pantries, and this is a demonstration of how collaboration is for all of us."
Randy Harris, Elephant Talk co-founder with his wife Sandy Sommers, founded the organization about five years ago, after they both saw a need for children and families who don't get enough food.
"We use big commercial refrigerated trucks, and are the primary supplier to many of the largest pantries in the metro area," Harris said. "We deliver about 50 to 80 tons of food a week, and we've spent about a half million dollars from our own pockets into the organization."
Elephant Talk has built up relationships with wholesalers and grocery stores to obtain the food they need.
According to Harris, a lot of the food Elephant Talk donates is dairy, produce and meats, which he said were severely lacking in most food donations.
As cars from various food pantries rolled up to the Action Center, workers were able to pick out which items they needed, and create pallets full of food. Then volunteers helped them load up.
Not all volunteers helping were with the Action Center, however.
Teacher Tony Hughes and several of senior students from McLain High School were on hand to help build and load pallets for organizations.
This kind of participation reinforces Strittmatter's opinion of the day.
"There is a whole tapestry of pantries and organizations willing to help, and all of this allows us to facilitate events like this so we can share the food," she said. "This is a happy, happy day for everyone."

Great shoe for spring!
"I ordered these shoes online-- so pretty in person! They are true to size and surprisingly lightweight! They fit my foot perfectly, no pinching or slipping. Great shoe, especially with a bright pedicure! My one concern, is that the heel strap has no elastic to it, so there is no give when walking-- will need to see how it breaks in over time."

Super Cute!
"I had seen these shoes in another shoe store and tried them on in a size that was too big. DSW had them in my size so I went ahead and ordered them and I'm so happy I did! I bought these for nights when I would be going out as they are a sexier shoe but still classy and comfortable! They also look great with skinny jeans."

Okay boot, not my holy grail
"This boot is not quite as chic as it looks online. The design of the boot is amazing with the higher front and lower back, which creates the same elongating effect on legs as a spanish top on real riding boots. However, I have to squeeze my calves into these which causes bunching at the ankles. I wear a size 7 shoe and my calves are almost exactly 15". It is doable for me to get these on, but not entirely pleasant.The leather is relatively thin, but also supple (though I'm not crazy about the pebbling). Also, I live in a rainy place and they squeak (the bottom of the boot against the floor) whenever they get wet. It drives me crazy."

No mmo has come close, not even DAoC. People used to group up constantly. I remember when I played in the headstart back in 04, I grouped up from level 2 onwards. People just did, all the time. There wasn't even a trinity most of the time. The ideas of the task force, and instanced missions got old after a while, but now that I think on it, it's a kind of content that all MMOs should have to some degree.
You didn't have to group in the game, but people just did. Maybe because it was faster, maybe because it was safer, maybe you wanted to show off how good your build was at decimating enemies. Other mmo's have become solo games with chat rooms. I'm late to the party, but I'm starting to feel like this genre is doomed.
Agreed. In terms of grouping and teams in MMO's, City of Heroes will always hold an incredibly high standard for doing three things, and doing these three things well.
Teams formed rapidly and people were able to meet up and go to where the action would be quickly.
Players were able to enjoy the damn game in a huge amount of the content REGARDLESS of what level their characters might be.
You actually had people role play. No, it wasn't consistent, it wasn't entirely wide spread, but name me a single other MMO that's fostered a sense of people playing with the attitude of " I AM this hero, I WILL speak as this person I've created " as much as this game did. Star Wars Galaxies had its fair share, and we saw a resurgence of it with Lord of the Rings Online. But this game helped players get into the RP part of the mmoRPG feeling in a big way.
I wish the next Supers MMO developer the very best of luck in having to be constantly compared against this one.

Not only was group combat fun, it was social! There were days when powers with long activations were the best because I could type up a quick quip without disrupting my chain! The best you get in other games is people goofing around during downtime, which isn't so great because who wants downtime?

I agree one million percent!!!
This is the ONLY game my wife liked to group in....this game had a community, it really did. It is not a bunch of @ssh@ts like WoW.
I am really shocked to hear this game is over......It was such a mainstay for me back in the day like SWG was.
I started with EQ in 2001 and then to SWG and then when they ruined SWG I was begged to try CoH. I thought it would be so stupid and dumb and I was soooo wrong. It was one of the funnest games, actually the second funnest game I ever played. (SWG, pre CU was my first funnest game).
Anyway, I really am shocked...
Do any of you remember Coyote? He was a player that the devs immortalized in the game's tutorial. He was a big fan of COH and helped a lot in testing and what not. He unfortunately died and the devs made his toon into a permanent fixture as an NPC in the tutorial. I WILL NEVER FORGET THAT!!!
What a group of incredible humanbeings.
I salute you as i whipe away a tear.......
Feel free to check out www.paragonwiki.com or www.cohtitan.com as there is a protest to save the game. There are several avenues that people are pursuing to get NCSoft to either release the Intellectual Property or to sell it off to a 3rd party willing to keep it going.
Check out those sites, write a email to one of the CEO's at NCSoft, let them know how you feel, oh and if you still have it on your system. Load it up and play. There are still tons of groups out there saving the world. If nothign else go out the the petition page and sign it.
We are heroes.
This is what we do.
Originally posted by MorpheusMJW
As a bitter SWG vet, this is the only game to match the standard of grouping, it was so good and action packed.
This. If only any new MMO could combine the depth and casual fun of these two games into one I'd be in heaven. SWG and CoH still hold my fondest MMO memories and had the best comminuties to become invested in. Hell, I even enjoyed the PvP in these two games more than any of the now mainstream MMO's, which says a lot considering their heavily unbalanced PvP. Just can't beat Bounty Hunting or Super Jumping...

|In response to Re: broken toilet flange
the lead may be able to be drilled out if the flange is set over a pipe. remove the flange and replace with a new one, caulk in the new using oakum and lead wool, tamping firmly but not hard enough to break the new flange. second choise is to use a closit bolt that has a wood screw on one end and 1/4 inch thread on the other. screw this into the floor where the old closit bolt was, not too deep now, and reset the toilet. third choise, there is a brass repair flange that can be screwed down over the existing flange, this has 1/4 inch threaded holes opposite one another for 1/4 in. threaded rod. screw in 4 in. lengths of the threaded rod, and screw this new flange to / over existing flange, reset toilet. enjoy! no more crappy mood Paul

Good for Special Occasions
"I bought these shoes probably 2 years ago. They are definitely meant for only special occasions such as formals and dances, not for a night on the town. The fabric is sturdy for light use but definitely not meant to be worn all the time. They are a good heel height, not too high. Comfortable enough for a few hours at proms or formals, but by the end of the night, your feet will be tired. They need more padding on the toes if you want to wear them ALL night,"

Bridesmaid Shoes
"These shoes look just like they appear in the picture! They are very pretty and will look good for what I have bought them for (bridesmaid shoes for wedding). They are very tall (for me), almost 4 inches and are not the most comfortable to walk in."

Indoor Grills & Panini Presses
Grilling is a classic cooking method favored by many people. Holidays, tailgating and other traditions have grilling at their core. But in inclement weather, cooks must be creative about how to get their perfectly charred delicacies. Enter the indoor grill. There are several choices to suit the needs of any grill master. For the specialist, infrared or electric-powered indoor grills focus solely on grilling the perfect burger or sausage without leaving your kitchen. For dinner parties, a stone tabletop grill can cook meat and vegetables right on the table, delighting your guests. Outdoor grills are outdoors because the process can be smoky and sometimes messy. Indoor grills use electricity or infrared technology and reduce the smoke factor sufficiently for indoor use. With precise controls and grated cook tops, the experience is just as satisfying as outdoor grilling, especially as you watch the rain or snow through the window from the comfort of your kitchen.
For those who prefer efficient, multi-functional tools, Williams-Sonoma offers combination grills. A panini press/grill combo can cook meats and vegetables on its ridged surface, but can also be closed to press a delicious panini sandwich. This a great way to showcase some artisan breads and exquisite cheeses along with your grilled meats, vegetables and specialty condiments. A grill/griddle combination with removable and changeable cooking surfaces functions as a panini maker, indoor grill and griddle. Replacement cooking surfaces allow you to swap quickly between surfaces and save the washing up for later.
If you don't have room in your kitchen for another countertop appliance, a nonstick grill pan is a good choice for you. This handy tool looks and acts like a frying pan, fitting over your stove burner, but the grooved cooking surface mimics the result of a grill. It is large enough to cook a steak or a large piece of fish while your side dish simmers in the slow cooker.
Getting creative about cooking surfaces presents so many more options than the stove burners, which are limited in size and number. An electric griddle can be a good solution. The cooking surface is large enough for an entire meal. Particularly favored by breakfast fans, you can cook meat, eggs, and pancakes all on the same surface. Cleanup is easy, and you can get on with your day. A griddle with a large surface means breakfast for everyone, ready at the same time. Extra points if the griddle is dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup. Combination griddle/grills are true champions of convenience. With these devices, you can cook the entire meal without ever turning on the oven or dirtying a pot. Some have a drip tray for easy cleanup, and a safety auto shut off for when your meal is so satisfying that you can't think about anything else. For breakfast, a griddle with two separately controlled heating elements is great for making pancakes and eggs, bacon or anything else your family could want. It's easy to clean the nonstick surface of a griddle. Breakfast is done without a lot of dirty dishes to start your day.
Think beyond the stove and oven to some of the portable cooking surfaces that can simulate the effects of your outdoor grill, or give you the convenience of a single cook top for an especially large or diverse meal. Small appliances also make great gifts for weddings or housewarming parties. Give the gift of convenience and authenticity for someone you love, or buy one for yourself. When you can have a hot breakfast from the griddle, a panini for lunch and delicious grilled meat and vegetables for dinner, indoor grills and panini presses just might become your go-to cooking surfaces.

Memories of a Pro-Life Childhood
A few times when I was in elementary school, my mom took me out of school to go to the annual pro-life march at the Minnesota state capitol. I remember waiting for a shuttle from Colonial Square in Wayzata, standing in Rexall Drug's entrance next to a woman with a sign that read, "Real Feminists are Pro-Life." At that age, I didn't know what a feminist was and remember asking my mom, but I don't think her answer made it any clearer for me. Isn't everybody for women's rights?
One particular year we were at the capitol and I remember signs that had pictures of aborted fetuses pasted to foamcore; another striking display was a grim reaper effigy being toted around by a cross made of 2x4s, which the strong winds made even more terrifying. My memory tells me that each time it was a gray, overcast January day, with exhaust-covered snow heaped upon the banks of the streets. I don't know what I was thinking of it at the time, but my recollection is that we were doing what was needed.
I remember screenings of The Silent Scream were offered in my church's basement. My parents never let me watch it. I guess I was too young to witness that strong a message. But I went to the capitol each year because it was what my mom asked of me. I would do it for her then, and I would like to say I would support her today, a little over a year since she passed away, but I cannot be sure.
My mom always called me her "Jesus-baby," a moniker my siblings still give me grief about (and perhaps now my colleagues), and an affection my mom expressed to me as late as her death bed. I'm not sure I know the entire story behind this nickname, but I do know that mom quit smoking and drinking two years before I was born and also had a born-again experience during the time when charismatic Christianity was firing up Roman Catholic parishes in the early 70's. I also know that her doctor tried to persuade her to have a hysterectomy around this time — my mother had had 5 children already. I don't know how much of this, or all of it, is what shaped my mom's views on abortion, but they do represent some of the circumstances.
I am very conflicted on where I stand on abortion. I can't say I would abide by the pro-life position if my wife and I found ourselves in a place which would be too challenging for us at some stage in our lives. I do, however, wish that there were fewer abortions, as I think it is a choice and commitment of such anguish for a woman that no one ever wants to undertake, if possible.
And so this contentious struggle continues, without much progress. Maybe I have softened due to the inevitability of maturing, though doubtful. But I can point to something Rod Dreher said on a recent SOF program that was revealing to me.
"If I were pro-choice, I would feel very strongly about it and I would find it very difficult to compromise."
What's there to do when you can't compromise and are unwilling to see the opposite perspective? When I say that I am passionate about my beliefs, I guess I am speaking theoretically. My problem is that I see both perspectives as valid, a convenient strategy my dad and I argue about that he calls situational ethics. He feels that there are absolutes in one's faith and you need to abide by those, no matter the scenario. I feel as though no decision is free from the circumstances, and it is the very apt approach to regarding hindsight or looking back on previous decisions that allow us to progress.
Perhaps that's what I am, pro-gress. But I am sure we all are.
[Editor's note: Out of the hundreds of responses we've received about abortion, many people are wrestling with same personal and societal conundrums of legalization. I encourage you to visit our map and read some, and submit you're own perspectives.]

Great shoe - seems a little small
