Skip to comments.I need some help for my nine year-old nephew diagnosed with an aggressive cancer.
Posted on 05/02/2012 10:02:21 PM PDT by proud American in Canada
My nine year-old nephew has been diagnosed with Adrenocortical carcinoma. My sister lives near Madison, Wisconsin, and is seeing a doctor there for him. He is on mitotane and probably some other drugs I'm not aware of.
Apparently the prognosis is not good, like a one-in-five chance of making it through five years. A friend of mine mentioned the Children's Hospital in Philadelphia; apparently one of the best pediatric cancer specialists works there.
My sister is doing everything, and I mean everything. Supplements, massage, Reiki therapy, in addition to everything the doctors recommend. She also has him enrolled in clinical trials.
Now, I learned today that the doctors have made three massive mistakes--mistakenly diagnosing him when he was a toddler (and had pubic hair, muscles, and was beating up his older brother). In 2005 my sister and her husband were told they had tested him for Cushing's disease (?), or some other disease, when they had not. Then the doctors took an ex-ray in 2010 and missed the tumor (the size of a cantaloupe when they took it out a month ago; it's now metatasized into his lungs, although the last round of chemo seems to have shrunk the nodules a bit.
They're going to continue chemo, etc., as long as progress is made, otherwise; they're going to let him enjoy what time he has with his friends and family.
As a trained lawyer, I am sorry, but these mistakes over the years are lawsuit material. However, that is for another day. Not now. Now, the goal is to make him one of the 20% who live.
I know there so many Freepers who are smart and educated and I'm hoping there are some doctors or researchers, people out there who understand this.
I live in another country and am extremely emotional about this; it's affecting my work and sleep, although that is not important.
When I called my dad to say goodnight tonight (he lives right next door to them), I suddenly thought: Free Republic! I must ask for their advice!
In any case, if anyone has any advice or knowledge about this, I would really appreciate hearing from you.
I'm about to commit one of the cardinal sins of FR, posting and kind of running. It's really late here and I have to go to work, but I know I won't have time tomorrow. I'll stay up for another half hour or so and then check in tomorrow.
In any case, I would appreciate your prayers.
*posting while tears are running down my face*

Prayers for your nephew!
Your nephew and family will be in my prayers. My only advice from my experiences with loved ones who had cancer is to find and go with the best hospital for this specialty you could possibly afford. Nothing less is acceptable.
May The LORD heal your nephew, and give you and your family peace, In Jesus Holy Name.
I know of Sloan Kettering in NY, Loma Linda Medical Center in So Cal and I believe that there is also a great children hospital in Houston along with the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN.
Prayers for him, his parents, and the rest of the family.
Thank you so much, all of you. You can always count on Freepers. :)
btw Ronaldus; I sure miss President Reagan but in a way I'm glad he's not here to see our current president at the helm. He would be very sad at this state of affairs. I seriously think even Clinton is concerned, as much as I couldn`t stand him when he was in office.
Thank you again. Take care, everyone. I'll stay here another few minutes then I have to get to bed for work tomorrow.
Can you get him to listen to www.copingstrategiescd.com? That will help him to become centered so that God can heal him.
Prayers for your nephew and all of you. My heart goes out to you all.
I suggest you contact Children's Hospital in Denver.
My son was 3 months old when he was diagnosed with a rare blood cancer. At the time the oldest survivor was 6. He's now 33 and well.
Prayers for a miraculous healing for your nephew.
Another suggestion: St. Jude's Children's Hospital:
Prayers up.
St. Jude's Research Hospital might be a good place to contact. Praying fir your nephew and his family.
St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital might be a good place to contact. IIRC they are in aTN.
Praying for your nephew and his family.
Thank you both! :)
btw, notpoliticallycorewrecked, for some reason your screen names is reminding me of Ezra Levant's show tonight (on Sun News, known here as 'Fox News North', because it`s conservative.) They interviewed some of those losers at "Occupy Toronto"—I guess now that the spring is here they plan more hijinks all over North America. :)
I noticed they were all well-fed, had iPods or cell phones; and not one that the host interviewed (David Menzies, I think is his name, replacing Ezra) either had a job or was looking for a job. LOL! They are wrecked, just making life difficult for everyone else who's paying their tab.
Thank you both again.
What can I say to confort you during this trial?... But I'm joining you and the rest here in prayer. I'm believing for a miraculous healing from above, in Jesus name, amen
Prayers up. Please get and read The book Knockout by Suzanne somers. http://www.amazon.com/Knockout-Interviews-Doctors-Cancer—And-Prevent/dp/0307587592/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1336023068&sr=1-3
Forget her cheesy character on Three's Company. The book isn't about or even very much by her. Each chapter is another doctor who is CURING cancer. The whole thing is an educated critique of mainstream oncology.
The back of the book is filled with MDs and specialists who are working on fighting cancer WITH AN INTACT IMMUNE SYSTEM, keeping the patient healthy, instead of trying to "kill the cancer" and destroying the patient in the process. Contact some of them that would be appropriate.
Definitely get this book and whip through it.
St. Jude, absolutely. They are pediatric cancer miracle workers. I would call them tomorrow!
They work with families of all means, too.
Julie, he has a name.
What is it?
(first name)
Theres a combination of herbs called Essiac with an extremely long history of - curing - even the worst cancers, at even the last minute (though earlier use is better). It was discovered by a nurse named Rene Caisse (Essiac is Caisse backwards) in her work with the Canadian natives in the early part of last century. They had used it for cancer for centuries.
I have seen this work a number of times to heal cancer within my own family and friends. I cant say it works every time, but it apparently works most of the time.
The main way it is debunked is by studying it with the wrong combination of herbs, or using herbs that are too old. So source is important, even though anyone can make it. I used:
Its run by a registered nurse who has dedicated her practice to making this available in the freshest form. You can either buy the herb package and cook it yourself (easy to do, just dont use aluminum and store it in dark bottles in the refrigerator). Or, you can buy the bottled tea pre-made.
It helps to avoid an acidic diet while taking it, but Essiac has worked under the worst conditions.
Best wishes and prayers to you and yours.
MD Anderson is on the cutting edge of many cancer treatments. Below is the link for the Adrenal disease treatments at MD Anderson.
proud American, you will get many prayers for your nephew and good advice too.
It is a great idea to ask here for any help you need.
I've done it for other, far less important things, and I've always gotten good help & advice.
Thank you both! :)

Thank you both again.
His name is James, James Helmuth; named after his grandfather James Kosmond, who was an awesome trial lawyer in Chicago before he got hill.
thank you for asking.
Thank you—I will call St. Jude tomorrow. :)
Thank you all so much!
You're welcome

You're right! You're reminding me of a friend I used to have when I first moved to Canada—she had breast cancer and used this Essiac—she was cancer free. I'd forgotten about that! Thank you, Talisker! I'll send my sister a bottle tomorrow.
The Mayo clinic in Rochester,MN is only a three hour drive from Madison,WI. The level of care is best I have ever known. Had my son in the children's wing of the hospital(St. Mary's) for several days. Can't recommend the Mayo organization enough. There is a reason that kings,queens, and world leaders go to Rochester.
Prayers up.
Prayers offered up. Jesus told us that the little ones on earth are always under the care of their guardian angels in heaven. Please try to hold that thought in mind as we pray for your nephew to get well.
It apparently takes at least ten days of ingesting the extract to finally pass through the blood-brain barrier.
For the initial colon cancer study, I calculated it would take more than 20 200 mg capsules for the dose that knocked out the most cells.
MD Anderson is the best cancer treatment in the nation...I would second this recommendation.
Thank you, cowboy. :)
I had the pleasure of living in Texas for a while when I was younger, and traveling through the Eastern south—there are no nicer people than Southerners. *Sheepishly hopes you're from the South; if not, I love the West, too! Lived in Colorado for ten years and loved—it broke my heart to move up here. :)
ST. JUDE'S Memphis, Tn. If anthing can be done, they are the best in the world.
Hello Julie
So sad about your young nephew.
Sounds like his mom has an ear for some 'alternative' remedies.
Not a physician - read a lot.
My thoughts:
*Cancer Treatment Centers Of America - get there!
Have sister call and chat with them. Only 5 or so around the country. Seem to deal with aggresive or impossible cancers.
*Google Dr. RALPH MOSS. He is the 'Go To' person for info. For years he has kept up with all cancer therapies, and has reports on their efficacy. He may still offer talking on phone with him - think he charges, but not expensive.
I used to get e-mail reports once a week from him.
*As for supplements, I would be taking 'MycoPhyto Complex,' capsules, by Advanced Bionutritionals. Boosts the immune system. Activates Natural Killer (NK) cells. There's other brands, but this is the one we can speak for, after stopping advancing symptoms of colds or flu - time after time. We also are thinking of possible cancer prevention, by keeping the immune system boosted. . Believe this is our 3rd year using. Our young grandkids open the capsules, and stir into apple juice! The 5 year old will stop and say "I need my Mycho Phyto!" and get it done!
*Another supplement would be 'Flora Floressence.' An herbal tea. Drink cold. Whatever the label says regarding amount daily, once there is cancer, Dr. Julian Whitaker of Newport Beach, - largest read newsletter - would have us add one more dose daily. Maybe it's adding one more ounce, and one more dose. It's not a drug - cannot hurt!
These products are not cheap, but - - -
To order MycoPhyto: 800-791-3395.
Company is in Atlanta. Product comes fast.
I think many are ordering - believe I may have talked about it before on FR! Sure people know about it from elsewhere.
Flora Floresence may be in discount vitamin stores. Regular health food stores, or go on-line and Google 'Vita Cost.' It's a discount place/catalog - used it for years.
Google 'Flora' for products.
That's plenty of info to take in. Suggest telling your sister to add one thing at a time, for a week or less, so nephew - or anyone! - is not overwhelmed!
*God Bless*
Try to quiet all your emotions and your everyday thoughts, don't have any particular expectations, and then ask God for what you can do to help your nephew or his family. You will be surprised by the answers you get.
God bless you.
Maybe Cancer Treatment Centers of America. St Jude's.
Glenn Beck had a man named John Kanzius on his radio show last week. I didn't hear it but my husband told me about it. His story sounded pretty amazing and his organization is called Kanzius Cancer Research Foundation. Website http://www.kanziuscancerresearch.com. I don't know exactly where they are at this time with the treatment but it would be worth a look.
Lots of prayers for your nephew and all his family.
I have not tried this, but there is a product online called carnivora. also on coast to coast AM there is an Italian doctor that claims all cancer comes from fungus and can be cured with baking soda?
something to read about the carnivora is from the venus fly trap plant and is supposed to wake up white cells to destroy diseases.
God bless and keep you and your family. prayers.
Okay, I'm beat. I wanted to keep up with everyone's expressions of support, but I can't anymore. I hope I didn't miss anyone. Thank you again. You all are true heroes and FRiends, that is for sure.
I will respond tomorrow. I know that there is a lot of positive energy, thanks to all of you, that is flowing towards James' way. :) God Bless you all.
Try Dr Thomas Cowan, San Francisco. He knows both AMA and eastern medical methods, and has some well informed ideas about how to get to the cause. God bless!
FYI-you've got mail.
A humble Prayer...
Thanks blackpacific (I'd love to hear the backstory on that screen name! :) ); I'm imagining some sort of weird deep sea fishing expedition. ? :)
good night.. :)
Mayo Clinic
St Judes Hospital for Children
Almighty Father, please heal Julie's nephew and make him whole, as is Thy will. Please also grant all the family needs. I ask this in the Name of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, amen.

Prettier online
"I loved this shoe online but when I received them I was less impressed. The champagne color was pretty but the bow detail looked bulky and sloppy to me and the rhinestones were kind of cheesy. The shoes were comfortable enough but I didn't wear them out so I couldn't say how they'd be all night long. Also, they're so unique that you'd likely not get much use out of them but that could be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on how how often you expect to wear your shoes. The packaging was quite nice."

"I LOVE these shoes. They are soooo gorgeous and surprisingly comfortable for a high heel. I will wear these in my sister-in-law's wedding and hope to wear them for other fancy occasions. I was impressed that the shoes came with some extra replacement jewels and extra heel tips."

Beautiful & true to size!
"I am usually 7.5 or 8. Ordered these in both 7.5 & 8 because lots of reviews I read here and else where were saying they ran small. I was even worried they 8 would be too small b/c of other reviews. They came and are beautiful! I am keeping the 7.5 and returning the 8. These shoes are a bit stiff at first, but are comfortable after a little breaking in and they are definitely true to size!!!"

Gorgeous Shoe
"This shoe is gorgeous in person. Comes with replacement jewels and heel plugs. However, it runs very small. I would recommend a half or full size larger than what you would normally order. I ordered for my wedding, looks gorgeous with my dress!"

Canada off to a good start at the Final Four tournament in MexicoNov. 07, 2013: Canada won its first match at the NORCECA Final Four men's volleyball tournament on Wednesday evening in Monterrey, Mexico. The team - comprised of athletes currently training at the national team centre in Gatineau - beat Venezuela 3-0 (25-20, 25-22, 25-18). (See NORCECA game report here.)
Canada's top scorers were Chris Voth of Winnipeg, MB, with 10 kills and one ace, and team veteran Steve Brinkman (Bowmanville, ON) with eight kills, one block and one ace. Albertan Steve Gotch had six kills, two blocks and an ace.
The competition involves Canada, Dominican Republic, Venezuela and host Mexico, competing in round-robin format until Nov. 08 to determine the finals that take place on Saturday, November 9.
''This match was the first international match for many of our players," said coach Vincent Pichette. "Guys had to manage their nerves in the first two sets - we committed many unforced errors on serving and attacking."
And it ended well for Canada: "The guys settled down and went back to basics in the third set, which allowed us to be more efficient. We'll be looking to improve against Dominican Republic… this will be a tougher challenge against experienced players.''
Today's game for Canada is at 5 pm local time, and then Friday the team plays host Mexico at 7 pm local time. This is the first event of its kind, organized by the NORCECA Volleyball Confederation and the Pan American Volleyball, and held in Gymnasium Nuevo Leon Unido of the city of Monterrey.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Here is a question posted in the latest "Ask us anything" thread over at the TESO website: -
Throughout the Elder Scrolls series, there has been enmity towards the Orsimer on the part of the Bretons and Redguard. Even though the Orsimer are a part of the Daggerfall Covenant, will we see any level of enmity towards Orsimer NPCs and Orsimer players contained in quests, quest-giver dialogue or general NPC chatter/dialogue? – By Hwrath go-Khash
A political treaty like the Daggerfall Covenant doesn't necessarily change the attitudes of the people whose leaders signed the treaty. Some people, tired of conflict between the races, have embraced the alliance, while others still regard their old antagonists with suspicion, or even open hostility.
Now the reason I post this is it has me confussed. With the way the factions are set-up so that their 3 faction PvP works, I have always disliked how they are restricting things, to get it to work. Races are locked into particular factions, factions lands locked to non factions etc. But the above answer gives me hope they understand what locking down everything does to the possibilities for the game and that perhaps they have (or at least might be considering) openning up race/faction locks to allow people to be openly hostile to factions, even if officially supported by their racial faction.
Is it just whishful thinking on my part and am I reading too much into it? Being able to create an Orc that doesn't want to help the faction and wants to openly join another faction (for example) would be so great in terms of gameplay and characterisation as well as political and PvP possibilities....your in Cyrodil, see a fellow Orc, wave a greeting....they are not part of the covenent!!!
What do you think?

I think it's all just fluff to make you buy the game. I think they didn't flesh out the important systems (combat, PVP, questing, crafting, anything really), they don't have anything to show and are keeping hype with these lore/political tidbits.
I think it's very concerning, especially knowing that the game should launch in 2013 and is closing in on beta in couple of months.
I agree the lack of any real inforamtion about the game is annoying. And while lore is good to have, at the moment they are giving us lots of lore info and nothing to build upon to use the lore.
I mean, one of the thoughts I had about a character concept was to be a Breton living in exile selling weapons to those fighting over the crown. The lore I have so far tells me there is a lot of conflict and all the background as to why people are fighting but at the moment my character concept based on the lore is potentially impossible. Another thought I had was of playing an Orc, at odds with his family who chooses to join one of the other factions because he will not serve for or along side any stinking Redguard.
Basically the lore is great but we need mechanics to build the framework for the lore to sit upon. that is why I hope they are writing things knowing that it isn't just bull. I hope they write about 'open hostility' between allied factions races and actually mean it. I hope you can play an Orc and actually fight 'against' the faction you are 'ment' to be a part of.
I hope.

You'll join the secret fourth faction, along with lawyers and other assorted vermin.
If you dont do stupid things while youre young, youll have nothing to smile about when youre old.
Good point.
In every TES game since Morrowind, you would see every race in the game enviroment and even play as every race. I reckon there was an Argonian trader in the town of Chorrol in TES 4 Oblivion. So shouldnt we also interact with NPC of different races in ESO. Being a Nord, you would maybe interact with a Redguard NPC.
Maybe you will be able to exile your character into another faction.
Fun fact : The TES games are happening in the 3rd and 4th era of the Elder Scrolls timeline. ESO is happening in the 2nd era. Maybe the racial borders were more strict back then

So So
what about the visored? I can't remember his name but he had the giant spiked club for a shikai. He's colored.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
Also, note how, like Kenpachi, we have yet to hear anything about the Captain Commander's death. In my mind, if you just lost your leader, you'd be making a teeny-tiny bit more of a big deal. Obviously Kubo is going to pull a Byakuya sort of case here and he'll miracuously be alive, appearing to "shockingly" cut Bach down with one arm and no lower body. lol Just wait, it's going to happen!
And it'd be pretty hard to argue that his powers were to alter or steal your senses, seeing as that's exactly what he did on several occassions... the only thing you could argue was that ability his zanpakuto had to rain blades. Seriously, where did that come from?
I never said or implied his zanpakuto had anything to do with his skin color.
What I said in the parentheses refers to the fact that Tousen's Zanpakuto was owned by someone else prior to him. So that means it can be argued that it is not his power therefore the logic used in the post I was responding to couldn't be applied to Tousen as an example of a character with the two traits needed to make the assumption that Zero was making.

The challenge course is designed for groups to come together in a positive environment to allow for personal and group growth. Although your day may vary depending on time and group goals, most courses consist of three sections. Field games and initiatives build the base for the day. This is followed by the more intense low course, which uses physical elements to pose group and individual problems.
The last part of the day may focus on the Alpine Tower, a 50 foot tall climbing structure that provides several exciting individual and group challenges. You can ascend the tower (you can utilize hanging elements, cargo nets, ropes, and platforms) to help you feel a sense of adventure and accomplishment.
No matter what your day may bring, setting goals is the key to taking something back to work, home or for yourself. We will talk and ask each individual to participate in evaluating each element. Remember, we are facilitators of the process. You hold the key for making the day one to remember.

Around the League - Playoff Edition - Wk 3
Jason Gregor
May 06 2010 10:26AM
The onus to produce and win in the playoffs is immense. Produce and a player will be revered amongst fans and media, but if a player can't produce in the "real" season he will be chastised mercilessly.
Has a player been ripped more -- and rightfully so -- about his lack of playoff success than Joe Thornton? No, and that's because since 1970, he along with Alex Ovechkin, Eric Lindros and Jose Theodore are the only players who have won the Hart Trophy, but not the Stanley Cup.
But has Thornton been that bad?
Lindros tallied 57 points in 53 playoff games, and led the Flyers to the Cup in 1996. Ovechkin has 20 goals and 40 points in 28 post-season games, and Jose Theodore had one incredible season, but most don't consider him one of the league's best players.
Thornton on the other hand has produced the second most points since the lockout with 510. Only Ovechkin, with 529, has scored more. Here are the rest of the top-ten point producers since the lockout.
Sidney Crosby: 506
Dany Heatley: 444
Pavel Datsyuk: 438
Ilya Kovalchuk: 437
Daniel Alfredsson: 424
Marty St. Louis: 420
Vincent Lecavalier: 414
Marc Savard: 392
Only Marc Savard hasn't played in the Cup finals, but he has 20 points in 20 playoff games, while Thornton has 61 points in 85 career games, but since the lockout he has 43 points in 50 games. Not horrible numbers, but he only has eight goals and in many games his effort left you wanting more.
However, Thornton has goals in consecutive playoff games for the first time since 2002 and his Sharks are leading the Detroit Red Wings 3-0. Suddenly Thornton has eight points in nine games, and if the Sharks win the Cup he might shed his reputation of being a post-season underachiever.
For the first 13 years of his career, people doubted if Steve Yzerman could lead his team, but with three Cups in six seasons, he went from being considered an underachiever to one of the best leaders in the history of the game.
I always thought Yzerman was a great player, but even his own team doubted him, when in February of 1996 they allegedly almost dealt him to Ottawa for Alexei Yashin. However, Jimmy Devellano didn't pull the trigger and a year later the Red Wings won the Cup.
Thornton isn't as good as Yzerman, but he is one of the league's most skilled players, and a true gentleman when you deal with him. But, up until now he's been an unable to elevate his game in the playoffs, but if the last two games are any indication he could shed that reputation.
Outside of shedding the "can't produce or win in the playoffs" label, he is also playing for enshrinement into the Hall of Fame.
Thornton has 931 points in 915 regular season games, but he'll only be 31 next season, so 1200+ career points is realistic, but if he doesn't win a Cup and can't shake his current label he might not go to the Hall.
Currently there are 14 players with 1000+ points, who didn't win a Cup who have yet to gain entrance into the Hall of Fame.
- Dave Taylor
- Bernie Nicholls
- Dino Ciccarelli
- Brian Propp
- Adam Oates
- Phil Housley
- Dale Hunter
- Brian Bellows
- Pat Verbeek
- Vincent Damphousse
- Pierre Turgeon (Eligible 2010)
- Jeromy Roenick (Eligible in 2012)
- Mats Sundin (Eligible in 2012)
- Keith Tkachuk (Eligible 2013)
Not surprising that the list of players with 1000+ points with a Cup ring who aren't in the Hall is much shorter: Bobby Smith, Steve Larmer, Dave Andreychuk and Doug Gilmour. Gilmour is a front runner to make it this year, while Andreychuk will be a maybe.
***Joe Nieuwendyk (2010 Eligible), Alex Mogilny (2010), Brendan Shanahan (2012), Theo Fleury (2012) and Sergei Federov (2013) are not in yet, but they all should get in.***
Thornton has lots on the line when it comes to securing his place amongst the NHL greats, and he needs to realize his chance of success might never be as good as this spring. Nine more wins, and you he can punch his ticket to the Hall, but if he loses he'll take another step towards a permanent seat in underachieverville.
With the lovely snow in Alberta and the consistent rain in Vancouver hopefully these ladies from sunny hockey locales will send some warm weather our way. Sara warms the hearts of Kings fans, the Stars ladies are dressed in unison and who doesn't like a Panther bikini!
- The Canadiens missed their chance to upset the Pens, by not being able to score in the 3rd period of game three. The Penguins know how to finish off an opponent, unlike the Capitals.
- I'm curious what is in the water in Boston, because Mark Recchi and Miro Satan look like they're 27 not 42 and 35 respectively. Recchi is going for his 3rd Cup, while Satan is looking to win his 2nd straight. Satan only had one goal and six points with the Pens last year, but he leads the Bruins with five goals and ten points this postseason. Satan is making Peter Chiarelli look like a genius for signing him midway through the season.
- Speaking of ageless wonders, how good did Steve Nash look yesterday as the Suns took a 2-0 series lead over the Spurs? Nash's vision on the court is incredible. He's a Hall of Famer and has to be considered top-five greatest Canadian athletes of all-time when his career is over.
- The 2010 Hall of Fame inductees haven't been announced yet, but I'm curious who will get in. Here are some of the more notable names: Alex Mogilny, Pierre Turgeon, Adam Oates, Doug Gilmour, Dave Andreychuk, Joe Nieuwendyk, Tom Barrasso, Mike Vernon, Mike Richter, Eric Lindros, Gary Suter and Andy Moog.
- Who do you think is most deserving? Keep in mind only four players can be inducted, but they don't need to induct four. I'd put Gilmour in. He's 17th all-time in scoring, won a Cup with Calgary and played hard. Adam Oates doesn't have a Cup, and that will hurt him, but he's 16th all-time in points and one of the best playmakers the game has seen. And I'd put in Mike Vernon ahead of Tom Barrasso. Barrasso only won 30+ plus games twice, while Vernon did it five times. Both have two Cups. Vernon has more wins in both the playoffs and regular season, and considering how much smaller he was, I think he did more with less. Who would you put in?
- The Oilers, Canucks and Flames probably won't have a chance to grab him, but the name I keep hearing from scouts is Ryan Johansen. The 17-year-old is 6'3" and 190, and some scouts think he'll only get bigger, stronger and better. He's projected to go 10th-13th, and the Ducks really like him.

LA wins this epic battle... although i have never wanted to be a can of Dr. Pepper so badly in my life.
May 06 2010, 10:42AM
Diet Dr.Pepper is that for Brownlee?
May 06 2010, 10:48AM
As for that Hall question I would have to think that Mogilny should be in there. He had a good on ice career 1000+ points in less then 1000games, has the cup, multiple all-star games and his defect from Russia started a trend of Russians to the NHL. He kinda has the player/builder all in one, so that is why I'd vote him in.
May 06 2010, 10:53AM
Not sure that Recchi is really a suprise he hasn't really shown that his age has hurt him during the past few seasons, but Satan is sure a suprise.
May 06 2010, 10:57AM
LA wins this epic battle... although i have never wanted to be a can of Dr. Pepper so badly in my life.
i honestly had to look multiple times to try and figure out what you were talking about.
too many distractions!!!!!!!!
I vote for Mike Vernon to be in the HOF, as much as it pains me as an Oilers fan. He had a solid career. If it took Anderson a long time to get in because of his "media relations" I would think Tom Barrasso will be inducted at 75.
I think the fatal flaw in the Habs is the depth. It would be a miracle to beat the Penguins playing 9 forwards a game. I'm impressed by Subban though. I was wondering why MAB was getting so much ice time in the first 2 games, but I see Subban has corrected that.
May 06 2010, 11:04AM
Just a point on Thornton: Ilya Kovalchuk is also on your top ten list for regular season points, but has done squat in the playoffs (when he's made them).
May 06 2010, 11:05AM
You are not an Oilers fan, that is all. tsk
May 06 2010, 11:07AM
He did quite well this year, not his fault the rest of the team didn't play 100%.
@Lisa McRitchie
Karma will come around on Tom Barrasso. Vernon wins by default. Plus Barrasso has a jerk face, he can't help being a dick. He allegedly beat up a guy in a bar & didn't want to answer questions about it...
LA wins this epic battle... although i have never wanted to be a can of Dr. Pepper so badly in my life.
I for one find the placement of the Panther quite the unintended? coincidence. Panther, part of the cat family, cat's have little cats, sometimes little cats are referred to as PUSSY cats......
I think Oates, Gilmour, Andreychuk, and Vernon would make for a good induction class. I like Nieuwendyk and Turgeon too, but don't see them as first ballot guys.
Sidebar - On that fifth Hawks goal last night did anyone else think Roberto may have pushed himself in the net. Looked like he raised his blocker and pushed off Kane. No doubt there was lots of traffic, but I don't think it was just Buff jamming him in there.
May 06 2010, 11:31AM
Garner would be so proud of you for bringing jerk face in a regular sentence!
May 06 2010, 11:53AM
It could be my hate that is blinding me, but was Burnin' Vernon ever a difference maker or was he just a good goalie with very good teams in front of him? I don't ever remember fearing Vernon like a Roy, Hasek, Brodeur, or Hextal. Did he ever make a team Canada?
I Wiki-ed it and it says he has a Conn Smythe and 5 all-star apperances, so maybe he does deserve consideration.
May 06 2010, 11:53AM
LOL....A man launching his rocket and a bunch of scantily clad girls, is this still a hockey website.
LOL....A man launching his rocket and a bunch of scantily clad girls, is this still a hockey website.
Gregor, Nation, cease and desist this ludicrous talk of things non-Oiler. Get back to the mind numbing Hall/Seguin debate!
May 06 2010, 12:50PM
I'd have to think that Joe Nieuwendyk and Doug Gilmour are guarantees for the HOF. And I agree that Vernon should be in over Barrasso.
May 06 2010, 01:07PM
You spend a whole article taking about who makes the Hall - how about equal time for who should make the Seguin?
@Senator Theo
I hear construction isn't quite complete on the Seguin the Hall has been completed for a while now... ;)
Isn't it just a little bizarre that Bob Newhart looks younger than Kim Mitchell. I never would have recognized Mitchell without his 3 foot mullet and OPP hat
May 06 2010, 01:53PM
I hear construction isn't quite complete on the Seguin the Hall has been completed for a while now... ;)
In all fairness, the Hall has had an extra year of development. It's not fair to compare where they're at right now...;)
May 06 2010, 01:54PM
That picture of Bob Newhart looks 20 years old. Is that a calculator watch he's wearing?
May 07 2010, 09:46AM

You know, that does look like a calculator watch.
Those were wicked inventions. I mean the ability to add and subtract as well as make sure you didn't miss Ninja Turtles at 4pm was a truly remarkable advancement in technology. Wayyy ahead of its time. I guess that's why they never really caught on in the mainstream.

Know Your Options
Before you set foot in a store, use the Internet to do some research. You can usually go to a manufacturer's Web site to see some, if not all, of their products. Dimensions of each item are often available, and you can also order catalogs from many sites. If you find a piece you like, search the same site for a store in your area that carries that line of furniture. Go to the store, and evaluate the quality of the line in which you're interested. You'll feel more comfortable about ordering the piece if you've seen it in person first.
Getting Inspired
Better furniture stores put a lot of effort into creating fully decorated room vignettes. These coordinated settings are designed to show the merchandise at its best, and they help you visualize how a piece could look in your home. As you make your way through the showroom, take note of background colors and how pieces are arranged. Ask yourself: "Are there elements in this grouping that would work in my home?" and "What can I learn from this room setting?" While you might not find the perfect table and chairs, you could discover the ideal shade of apricot for your walls.
You'll often pick up some creative ideas for using furniture and accessories when you visit a showroom. Maybe you see how an oversize mirror can add depth to a space. Or you could gather ideas for items to arrange above a new sofa once you get it home. Armless chairs placed side by side might suggest an interesting alternative to a love seat.
Just be sure to keep the size and scale of your rooms in mind. Furniture showrooms are usually large and spacious, and the sofa that appears to be an appropriate size at the store might be entirely too big for your sunporch.

Ben Maxwell re-signs
Robert Cleave
July 17 2011 10:21AM
The Jets added another player to the potential roster yesterday with the re-signing of former Hab farmhand Ben Maxwell. Acquired by the organization in the Brent Sopel deal, Maxwell was a RFA until inking a one year, two way deal for 715,000.
The former second round pick has never really been able to get any traction in the NHL during his three pro seasons despite compiling 142 points in 179 AHL matches. His NHL line reads 32 games played, 1 goal, 1 assist, -10, so he hasn`t exactly lit anyone one up during his cups of coffee with Montreal or Atlanta, and in all honesty he appears to be a player destined for 10th-14th forward status on a club that already seems to have about 6 or 7 of those types on the roster.
Winnipeg now has 13 forwards under contract as per CapGeek with Blake Wheeler still awaiting his arbitration hearing on August 3rd, so it's possible that the club could go to camp more or less as is, but I suspect that the organization isn't done quite yet with its summer tinkering, and if so, it's almost certain that improving the forward depth will be on the agenda. With that in mind, Maxwell's signing is, barring a major improvement on his part, as much an organizational depth move as anything else.
A one year deal seems about right for both sides, I'd say. The team is still in a state of flux, and the prospect pool is pretty shallow, so they do need bodies at all levels. From the player perspective, Maxwell needs to show more than what he's displayed thus far if he has any thought of being a NHL regular, and given that the Jets still won't be that deep up front in 11/12 even if they add a forward or two, he should get a clean shot in camp to win a full time job in the bigs. If Ben Maxwell wants to be a long term NHL player, he'll never have a better window of opportunity than this fall to make it happen.
FIST to say it
Yeah he sucks
July 18 2011, 08:21AM
Far from "sucking"
He is a pretty good AHLer decent guy to call up and maybe he breaks through this year or not

We are wanting to put a bathroom in our basement. We have a lift station already because we previously had our washer and dryer there. We've talked to a plumber about breaking up the concrete and laying the lines, tying into the existing pump. Now my brother in law comes along and says we should skip the plumber and install a false floor and lay the lines under the floor. I am unsure about this, besides I don't want the bathroom to look "added on" or amateurish, I don't want to have to step up into the bathroom What does anyone here think? Thanks!

Saracens will face either Toulon or Leicester in the Heineken Cup semis after defeating Ulster 27-16 in a clinical win on Saturday.
Saracens will take on either Toulon or Leicester in the Heineken Cup semi-finals after overcoming Ulster 27-16 in an impressive showing on Saturday.
It was an English victory built on solid defence as they displayed hunger and intelligence that in truth meant Ulster rarely threatened the whitewash until the dying embers of matters at Twickenham.
Despite coming off second best at scrum-time, Saracens were dominant in the maul and also sucked the life out of Ulster in open play as last year's finalists struggled to penetrate the wall.
Man-of-the-match was flanker Will Fraser but that prize could have gone in several directions as Steve Borthwick and Brad Barritt also shone.
Tries from Fraser and Chris Ashton added to a near-perfect day at the office for Owen Farrell to put paid to any hopes that Ulster may have had of booking a semi-final spot at the Aviva Stadium.
A tight opening saw little in the way of genuine scoring opportunities, but Farrell put Saracens on the scoreboard with a third minute penalty.
Ulster's poor kicking percentage was laid bare for all to see, as Springbok Ruan Pienaar missed two penalties before slotting his first successful kick just before the half hour.
Further penalties were traded between the sides, and at 6-6, Fraser scored the first try of the game, driving over, for the score to be awarded after referee Romain Poite went to the TMO for clarification of the score. With Farrell adding the conversion, the home side entered half-time 16-6 up, having ruthlessly taken advantage of an Ulster indiscretion.
Two more Farrell penalties, with one more for Pienaar came before Ashton added the second try for Saracens, taking the ball wide past the Ulster defensive cover, to stretch the lead to 27-9 as the game entered the final quarter. It was now a long road back for Ulster.
The game ended as Iain Henderson rounded off a great move which saw his side work the ball from one half to the other, forcing his way over after great hands along his back line.
Pienaar's conversion was the last play of the game, which now sees Saracens return to Twickenham for their semi-final match against Toulon or Leicester later in the month.
The scorers:
For Saracens:
Tries: Fraser, Ashton
Con: Farrell
Pen: Farrell 5
For Ulster:
Try: Henderson
Con: Pienaar
Pen: Pienaar 3
Saracens: 15 Alex Goode, 14 Chris Ashton, 13 Joel Tomkins, 12 Brad Barritt, 11 David Strettle, 10 Owen Farrell, 9 Richard Wigglesworth, 8 Ernst Joubert, 7 Will Fraser, 6 Kelly Brown, 5 Alistair Hargreaves, 4 Steve Borthwick (c) 3 Matt Stevens, 2 Schalk Brits, 1 Mako Vunipola.
Replacements: 16 John Smit, 17 Rhys Gill, 18 Petrus du Plessis, 19 Mouritz Botha, 20 Jackson Wray, 21 Neil de Kock, 22 Charlie Hodgson, 23 Chris Wyles.
Ulster: 15 Jared Payne, 14 Andrew Trimble, 13 Darren Cave, 12 Luke Marshall, 11 Craig Gilroy, 10 Paddy Jackson, 9 Ruan Pienaar, 8 Nick Williams, 7 Chris Henry, 6 Iain Henderson, 5 Dan Tuohy, 4 Johann Muller (c), 3 John Afoa, 2 Rory Best, 1 Tom Court.
Replacements: 16 Rob Herring, 17 Callum Black, 18 Ricky Lutton, 19 Robbie Diack, 20 Roger Wilson, 21 Paul Marshall, 22 Stuart Olding, 23 Tommy Bowe.

Nation Radio - March 3, 2012
March 03 2012 05:33PM
Sometimes we go for a much wider view here on OilersNation Radio. We invite guests who write about other teams and players from around the league. We think it makes us seem somehow more refined, more cosmopolitan...
Not this week baby. It's pretty much all Edmonton, all the time. Allan talks with a numbers of influencial Edmonton bloggers on a variety of topics including advanced stats, Ales Hemsy and the recent Gilbert trade.
This is Nation Radio.
Pat McLean of the ever popular Black Dogs Hates Skunks blog talks the Hemsky signing, Sheldon Souray, Tom Gilbert and Maple Leafs coaching.
In part two this week, David Staples of the Cult of Hockey reports from the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics conference.
Dennis King of MC79hockey drops by to discuss Hemsky's value to the Oilers, Jordan Eberle and to add his perspective to the Gilbert swap.
Dennis' blogmate Tyler "Toronto Lawyer" Dellow adds his thoughts on advanced stats, Eberle, Gilbert and Leafs coaching.
Rod Peterson, former PbP voice of the Regins Pats (and current voice of the Rough Riders) talks Marincin, the WHL and the possibility of NHL in the Sashatchewan.
Allan goes solo and shares his thoughts on defense.
The whole two hours.
All Edmonton baby!
Also: Fist!
So what you are saying.is that this.is the fist all Edmonton nation radio?
Saskatchewan Saskaquatch hockey club. One day the homeland will be deserving on a NHL team, but they need a stadium first.
March 03 2012, 07:55PM
Same day and the radio is up? Gregors wedding this weekend too is the world going to end this year?
lol. I have to say this was a very enjoyable episode. Lots of fun stuff.
It's Pedersen, not Peterson and he should be the Oilers radio play-by-play guy. He did a hell of a job doing the World Juniors.
During that advanced stats section all i was thinking was "please, id figure it out No problem"
But then i realized i was several lucky extra into the night. #powerofbeer
I enjoyed the show!
Im a little surprised everyone was against the gilbert trade but to be honest im not sure i was lookin at gilbert closely enough anyway.
My one hope is that nick brings something to the dressing room That the team needs, and that is the major bonus to bringing him in.
I must say i was proud of our fans when shultz got a good cheer the first time he handled the puck in oiler silks.
The Oilers have jumped the shark.
March 04 2012, 09:30AM
I think advanced stats can be a good tool for Oilers brass but from the segment on it sounds like there is some work to be done.
I've lost patience, I wish I could fast forward the season maybe to the year 2014 and then see where the Oilers are.
Seriously fix the streaming it always cuts out on me.
March 04 2012, 05:40PM
Seriously fix the streaming it always cuts out on me.
Seriously, fix your connection, it always works fine for me.
I can't seem to get the episodes to play. They cut out after 5 minutes or so. The podcast isn't updating in iTunes either. My connection is fine. Bummer.
To get passed the stream issue I right-clicked and saved the full mp3 of the episode. That seemed to work....
March 07 2012, 01:36PM
I can't get the episodes to play either. They start but stop after about 10 seconds.

Skip to comments.Bloomberg Making Sense: The NRA Would Defend Your Right To Own A Nuclear Cannon
Posted on 12/19/2012 9:00:46 PM PST by Tolerance Sucks Rocks
By now, if you have been paying attention to the pronouncements of Hizzoner, you know that New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg really dislikes, among many other things, guns. He also appears to have engaged in a one-man crusade to convince politicians that, if the President of the United States can be reelected without the support of the National Rifle Association, so too can the most rural Congressman or Southern Senator. The logic of that belief is debatable, but what is not debatable is the logic that the NRA would go out of their way to defend the indefensible even the personal ownership of a small cannon designed to fire nuclear-tipped artillery shells. Or, at least, so sayeth the mayor.
The U.S. Army has a rifle they call it a rifle, I would call it a cannon; its attached to the front of a tank or a moving vehicle, Bloomberg said on Tuesdays Morning Joe on MSNBC. It shoots a nuclear warhead. The NRA would say, Oh, thats a gun. And people have a right to have that.
Where is the limit here, Bloomberg asked to co-host Mika Brzezinski as she nodded sagely in resigned disapproval.
Im no expert on fire arms, but I would venture that the limit of what the NRA would defend in terms of an individuals Second Amendment rights ends several miles before nuclear cannon. But we are now deep into the hyperbole phase of national tragedy when those with axes to grind or pet projects to advance have already made their case many times over, and flail in search of new and more resonating arguments. Next, we enter the long-anticipated terrible analogy phase.
(Excerpt) Read more at mediaite.com ...
Living proof that money does not confer intelligence.
I wonder if he has ever actually been outside of NYC?
I just wish he'd leave the country and live somewhere else.
Mike Bloomberg is . . .
. . . and that's all, folks!
Nanny State PING!
Whats a Davy Crockett going for these days ... great conversation piece ... BTW Bloomberg is a "blooming idiot"
Mike Bloomberg is . . .
. . . and that's all, folks!
Nanny State PING!
at least he didn't threaten to kill anyone. yet.
The drawback of a nuclear cannon is that each one can only be used once.
The price alone is a deterrent for a nuclear cannon. Only the wealthy could afford one.
Back in DaVinci's time, only the very wealthy could afford cannons or guns.........that's why he was, among other things, a weapons designer....paid pretty well.......
At a bare minimum people should have the right to bear the same arms as those they pay to keep law & order (the police). In England the cop doesn't have a gun, and the subjects don't either. In the US our cops are acting more as a paramilitary (helicopters, armored vehicles, and such); whatever they're packing their employers (us, the taxpayers who pay them and buy their equipment) should have the right to pack as well.
Ayone who doesn't understand why a government would want to disarm its citizenry really has their head up their arse; we were born of a revolt, and have never forgotten that.
You aren't correct very often blooming idiot, but this time you hit the bullseye.
Wow. Bloomscum is not illiterate, so he knows what "arms" means. So he is using classic communist propaganda. What a shock. NOT.
BTW, I believe Letter of Marque are still good law (look it up). Of course obastard would never sign one, but if a Constitutionalist ever recaptued the White House (unlikely), wouldn't that blow this statist's gaskets...
Technically, some cannons are still lawful to build and own without federal approval.
The federal government actually borrowed civilian owned cannons back when it was just barely started.
See letters of marque and reprisal in the Constitution.
Doesn't this guy have a disaster to clean up?
Too bad that Asian fellow pushed in front of the train didn't have a cannon; he could have at least hidden under the carriage while Obama's son was ranting & raving (because everyone knows that the NYPD, which might give shoes to homeless people, won't stop them from killing you for fear of losing their badges, pensions, and freedom).
Dear Mayor Bloomberg :
There is no safer person with whom to trust a "nuclear cannon" than little ol' me. You, on the other hand, can't even be trusted with a ball point pen. You've hurt more people with your signature than have ever been killed by "nuclear cannons."
Depleted uranium is a bit beyond his comprehension.
Um, no. Cannons (nuke shells or not) are munitions. Riffles are arms. Big difference.
I assume he just wants them to be under 16oz.
As opposed to a commie, New York fag who won't defend a person's right to have a salt shaker or a Big Gulp. FUMB!
The U.S. Army has a rifle they call it a rifle, I would call it a cannon; its attached to the front of a tank or a moving vehicle,
Sorry Mikey. I think you've got the U.S. Army confused with Mikey Dukakis. I've never heard of or seen a "rifle" attached to the front of a tank. You're right. You don't know anything about firearms.
Bloomberg would make it illegal to have any rights, period, if he could, that good little commie that he is. He knows best what you need, screw thinking for yourself in his little demented world.
That is an insult to other morons! Bloomberg is several rungs further down the ladder, I think.
Have you been to London recently? The last time I visited (and this was before 9/11 here and 7/7 in London), the cops had guns and body armor.
How do you "bear" a nuclear cannon?
BTW, it would be a cold day in hell the day our mayor told me I couldn't buy a certain size soft drink with my own money! In fact, there is no way he would even try that. He would be hanged by his balls downtown on the square by people much crazier than me. We don't like being dictated to by some prissy little nanny stater.
Only if the nuclear cannon was less than 16 oz. and contained no transfat, because those kill.
Blooming idiot doesn't know that. The NRA does say that people have a right to own firearms, which was my point.
"Mike Bloomberg really dislikes, among many other things, guns."
EXCEPT the ones his body guards carry.
The founders didn't have a problem with citizens owning cannons. Those cannons are still legal to own under federal law today.
Aw horseshit Bloomberg, you coward. Let's see you dispatch your armed guards. You first, chickenshit!
I think they have a six-shooter version of the nuke cannon... for those times where just one nuke won't cut it.
Waiting to get mine until I have my concealed carry permit...
I have never, ever known anyone who wants an atomic cannon.
Many existing laws would prevent such an ownership, and these happen to be good things.
History will view Bloomberg as a combination of desperate power mania with a side-show, grifter mentality.
I'm not an expert, but a thorough brain scan could be a valuable diagnostic tool for Mister Bloomberg.
Bloomie saw an RPG once and his imagination has been running wild ever since.
No, they don't prevent it. They make it unlawful. Besides, it's easier federal time to have unlawful possession of a nuke, than to get caught with crack cocaine.
Look it up.
Laws don't prevent things. They put a price on things.
That's what happens when you base your government on the gang shakedown model.
The terms "rifle" or "cannon" are used to describe arms with rifled barrels (helical groovers inside the barrel) vs. smoothbore barrels, which are cannon.
I have seen 20-inch naval rifles (20 inch diameter, rifled bore) which many would call "cannons" and be wrong.
It is not at all uncommon for rifles to have 4" or 5" bores, and be 10+ feet in length. Some tanks mount rifles, some mount cannon.
In the beginning there were two classes of people ~ the warriors who owned everything and everybody, including all the armaments, sharp sticks, knives, garottes, whatever. The other class consisted of everybody else. They had no rights.
Over time members of the under class were taken up into the ruling class as warriors themselves ~ possibly with a rank system.
When you entered that class you had the right to 'keep arms' ~ which included armor, a warhorse, a chariot, arms bearers, folks to tend to the manufacture of weapons (black smiths, sword makers, arrow makers, bow makers, etc.) .
That wasn't the end of things. The second half is 'bear arms' and that meant you can bear arms on your behalf, the benefit of your family, for your friends, for the neighbors, for your estates, for your liege lord, or cappo di tutti cappo, or other high noble, right on up to the king. You could walk out there with your sword, spears, bows, arrows, baggage trains, helpers, weapons makers, sword bearers, war horses, and USE THEM. Plus, being a gentleman and all you had the privilege of using the king's own courts of law to settle disputes ~ and the way higher nobles, like kings, enforced their decisions was through 'force of arms'. This one little tidbit ~ right to go to court, meant you could make criminal and civil charges against others ~ testify ~ maybe participate as a judge or as a baliff! Without that right to bear arms you couldn't go to court.
Jews living in early Medieval Christian or Islamic states around the Mediterranean had no right to keep and bear arms until about the 1700s when the king of France opened the ranks of his White Coats to Jewish soldiers. Actually, Jews had no military caste from some time in the 200s until well into the 1700s ~ it had to be rebuilt little by little, a right at a time, in baby steps ~ and those folks were well aware of what the right to keep and bear arms meant.
BTW, it doesn't mean just the right to carry around a weapon ~ you could have a ship of war, you could have a chariot and war horses ~ you certainly wouldn't tote them on your back, but if you had no right to a chariot and war horses they'd probably hunt you down and slaughter you should you show up with such a thing!
Those who know their European and Middle Eastern history can read through the Constitution and pick out every last single item that was, at one time or the other, a 'privilege' of the nobility!
Those who were not nobles had no 'privilege'. With the United States of America we had a novus ordo seclorum ~ where ALL had the rights and privileges of kings and nobles ~ certainly an outcome worth rejoicing!
So, back to the 'right to keep and bear arms' ~ it's about all your rights. This one declaration means you are not a peasant, but you can go to court and use the armed might of the state to protect your interests against everyone else ~ you can serve in the army ~ you can defend yourself ~ you can protect your children from being seized and sold as slaves ~................ and you can bear arms however big they are, or however small, without questioning by any other authority. You are free.
This is not something any Democrat can ever understand, particularly not a dunderhead like Obama and his crowd.
Dear Mayor Bloomberg:
Thanks for the heads-up. If I need an organization to defend my
right to own a nuclear cannon I will keep the NRA in mind. In
the mean time can you please direct me to an organization that
will defend my right to purchase and consume a 32 oz soda?
Thanks for your post. Mark Levin was saying today he hates the term "Gun Control" - it isn't gun control - it is CITIZEN Control. Goes right with your post - thanks again, will be sharing it with my kids.
Mensa would defend Bloomingidiot's right to use his brain.
They should re-name Gun Free Zones to Free Fire Zones too.
And I know where I would point it.
This from a man who attached a full-sized room air conditioner to his limo lest he break a sweat? Really?
If we all had a davey crockett, the aliens would NEVER think of invading our planet... well at least not the north american continent....
Agreed, I think that is a good rule of thumb for the limits placed on ciilian arms ownership, the civilians should have access to the same equipment used by ANYONE in ANY goverenment agency who has the potential to interface with them.
It would also give the goverment EXTRA INCENTIVE to actually enforce posse comitatis...
Seems to me the "axe grinders" are all liberals like Dumberg, Feinswine, and Chucky Schmucky Schumer, and the biggest axe grinder of all, Barack Sheik Obama, mmmm mmmm mmmm.
They only become a threat when governments take possession of them.
"Rifles", by definition have spiral cut grooves in the barrel to impart a stabilizing spin to the projectile. Our tanks use smooth bore cannon with fin-stabilized projectiles.

Skip to comments.John McCain Attacks Conservatives
Posted on 10/11/2013 9:36:41 AM PDT by yoe
ohn McCain (R-AZ) is a hero of the Vietnam War. From everything weve been told about his harrowing experiences during his time as a Prisoner of War, he acted bravely -- heroically even -- and he should be given respect for that service to his country. Any man who is willing to lay his life on the line for his fellow citizen is worthy of our respect and admiration.
All of that being said its time for John McCain to ride off into the sunset.
John McCain is becoming ( the Democrats best weapon) in their war on the Republican Party.
For the last few weeks, Republicans and Democrats have been battling over who will be perceived as being most to blame for the government shutdown. As an Eagle Rising reader, you know that while we dont fear the shutdown as much as some, we are thoroughly in the Republican corner when it comes to who should be blamed.
The Democrat Party is fully to blame for what is happening. The Democrats, led by Harry Reid and President Obama, have refused to negotiate even a jot or tittle of the budget in an attempt to end the impasse.
You wouldnt know it by listening to John McCain....video..
(Excerpt) Read more at eaglerising.com ...
In other news; dog bites man, water is wet.
John McCain is a gutless, spineless coward. He's senile and completely unprincipled. He collaborates with the other side. Why should I care what he has to say about anything? He's a disgrace.
John McCain is the poster boy for term limits.
He can kiss my a__ __!
FUADIAF, John.
Even so John McCain is a product of the AZ electorate. If it wasnt for them he'd be out of the picture. Thanks AZ!
"John McCain Attacks Conservatives"
In other news, the sun rose in the East this morning.
Can a real American simply step on this bug, problem solved!
"John McCain (R-AZ) is a hero of the Vietnam War."
Getting several million dollars worth of fine American military war-making hardware shot out from under one's incompetent ass does not make one a "hero".
I stopped reading there.
The Hanoian Candidate
We'll see who has the last laugh when the Tea Party re-takes the House in 2014 and when obamacare totally collapses. Wait until the open enrolment period comes around at the end of October into early November. People will be outraged when they get a load of their premiums or get bumped on to the Exchange. Yes Johnny boy. We'll see who comes out the hero in all of this. I can assure you it won't be you.
Rumors are that he has had practice at it ...
What the F*** makes McCain heroic? His incompetence as a pilot was well known at the time and there were bets by some on how fast he would be shot down. He was ONE among many who were POWs; I've had contact in the past with at least 3-4 former POWs and none of them considered themselves heroic, they did consider those who fought back and didn't make it through the torture heros. His service and POW time are points in time past; it is what he has done and said since that matters. Benedict Arnold was considered to be a hero and Tim McVeigh was a decorated Gulf War veteran. Their accomplishments were points in time and do not give them any pass for what they do or say up to the present.
When the GOP calls begging for money I tell them no way in hell till they evict McCain, Graham, and other democrat moles.
Linda Grahamnesty hasn't been heard from in a while....guess he KNOWS he's in TROUBLE in SC!! GOOD!!
WTH is wrong with the people of Arizona?
Like any elative who has overstayed, John McCain has worn out his welcome.
John McCain is the perfect tool for the left, unprincipled, and half-witted, confused about priorities, unwilling to shut up, and let better men make better decisions. He can't understand how the decline of America has taken us beyond old politics, and old politicians.
That's not a news report it's his daily schedule.
Notice today that Senator McCain is carrying the water for Obama by saying on FOX that - - - defunding Obamacare is a fools mission.
Perhaps MCCAINCARE might be a better name for this Communist Box Canyon Law currently called Obamacare?
Guess the whupping that the Communist North Vietnamese prison goons gave McCain his desire to be whupped by Communist Obama. Strange - - - .
Gee I wonder if he and mac daddy have private meeting in the same bath house.
I am ashamed to say, that Grahamnesty was in the same Air Force that I was in.
It is way past time for John McCain to sit down and shutup. Better yet just retire and GTFO.
I don't think it's possible to be a hero and a traitor at the same time.
Regardless of what McCain 'might' have been over 40 years ago, today that scum of a man is a traitor.
What I can't figure out is, why didn't he win the election in 2008? So strange. Not.
Oh, I forgot, the MSM told me why. It's Bush's fault.
Come on Arizona - only you can get this guy out of office.
The Sun came up this morning, as well.
Anyone else that crashed so many airplanes would not have been flying in Vietnam Nam. The government should have charged him for the planes, Yet we have given him many honors and much money which I am not sure he is deserving of. Many men lost a lot in that war and their compensation is in no way equal to his. Nor did they seek it, they served with honor and many are still serving, just not in the military.
John McCain is old and dying and subconsciously thinks he's staving that off via the busyness involved in trying to be somebody consequential.
The truth is that he's still dying. And he's lost his way.
Crashing two planes while training and gaining experience in fleet aircraft after he got his wings...
Damaging a third plane while hot-dogging UNDER some power lines in Europe.
MOST NEW naval aviators would have been placed in formal review for flight status after losing ONE airplane
... and yet they kept him /retrained him...
...After all he was the son/grandson of exceptional naval officers ( to whom he could not hold a candle (IMO)...
.... and they sent him into combat.... again
McCain was shot down because he flying predictably in a high-threat well-defended target area-- (aka--he was an easy target).
When the SAM MISSILE ALERT alarms went off -- he pressed the attack instead of defensive maneuvering to defeat the SAM MISSILE that knocked him out of the sky.
When he ejected, did not follow his training and assume the correct posture before punching out-- suffering major physical injuries before he cleared the rails. (aka dumb@$$)
McCain should repay the taxpayers for some of the bent metal...
...THEN RESIGN FROM THE SENATE for being as much of snotty little prick as he was while on active duty.
End of rant...
Just sayin'
The establishment Pubs are going to commit suicide if they surrender now that the fight has finally started. I know for me I will never vote for a non Tea Party Pub again if they give up. I will continue to contribute to Tea Party candidates, especially in primaries against rino's.
I voted for McCain & Romney because I thought the alternative was worse, no more. Enough is enough!
Right now I'm a little discouraged, but the media lies. I'm going to wait till this all plays out to see who I want to stand with.
I heard the greatest line on Levin's show the other day...
Levin ask loudly,"Who is the John McCain of the democrat party"?
Mr. Producer answers,"John McCain".
Do you know that John McCain's mother, Roberta, is 101 and still going strong?
I fear we have many more years with McSlime blathering away.
Guess what....it's NOT the same Air Force now!
He says so.

To keep the chocolate from sinking into the cake batter, chop it finely.
If you have only one pan and a recipe calls for more cupcakes than your pan will make, cover and refrigerate the rest of the batter while baking the first batch. Cool the pan about 15 minutes, then bake the rest of the batter, adding 1 to 2 minutes to the bake time.
Try chocolate-flavored graham crackers instead of regular graham crackers for more chocolate taste.

A practical way to sort out conflicts we experience daily. This book is about understanding the human mind and personality. Why do we do what we know is bad for us yet do not do what we know is good. What the basic nature of the mind is, how it came to be in its current condition and how any defects can be corrected for it to function according to its potential rather than sputter through life.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
1) Daily quests have become an accepted part of end game content.
For me, daily quests have ruined modern MMOs. I honestly don't see why someone would want to do the same few quests every day for months on end. It's even worse when other people don't want to do anything else because they feel they have to do their dailies in order to get X reward. Don't even let me get started on the havoc these quests have on ingame economies.
2) Ganking has 0 penalties.
This is a far, far second but it annoys me to no end that someone 40-50 levels higher can sit for hours wiping any lowbie that comes into their view, just because they can without repurcussion.
PvP in MMOs...Ill play WoT if I want to shoot people
Sandboxes...I know im in the minority forum wise[. I dont want to have to "figure it out". Just show me the 10 rats I need to kill.
No matter how cynical you become, its never enough to keep up - Lily Tomlin
Things i don't like about cars:
Some of my list, in no perticular order:
Quests / Missions
Lack of full loot
No meaningful exploration
No need to work with others (its an MMO ffs)
Lack of meaningful crafting
PVP that doesnt involve PLAYER skill, but instead favors character skill or level
Lack of personal housing
Making it too easy to reach a high level of character skill or level
Lack of treasure hunting
The game holding my hand becuase I am unique, special, delicate flower with feelings that might get virtually hurt
Theres many more but I lost the desire to continue typing them all out.
ANYTHING that get much away from realistic interactions between players or between players and the world.
In GW2, you are NOT an uber hero. In fact you can choose to be from common folk or even an orphan (the human PS).

As you go through the game, you become the "go-to guy" in every order (The Durmand Priory, The Order of Whispers, and the Vigil).
What loulaki was addressing is that the "stories" MMOs now employ make every player the savior of the universe.
Player1: "YAY! I Saved the world!"
Player2: "Oh really? Cool! I did that last week. Good job!"

Personally the only modern MMORPG trend that annoys me is the idea that MMOs need to be designed in a way to attract people who don't actually like MMOs. Which to me makes about as much sense as someone trying to figure out a way to get vegetarians to eat at their steakhouse.
1. Mounts replacing travel buffs
2. Removal of buff dependencies and buff classes in the name of balance and "fairness"
3. The removal of the pure crowd controller that could lock down mobs for longer periods in the name of balance
4. Instances
5. The insane focus on balance when it comes to PvE. Back in the day some classes were OP, some were mediocre and some sucked. Now everybody has to be exactly the same. You deal poison damage, I deal frost, that guy overthere deals fire damage. We all do the same damage but in a slightly different way
6. Little to no death penalty.
I miss dependencies on buffs and classes, I miss not having a horse, turtle or dragon to ride on and I miss the wast differences between classes and their "jobs"

Fully agree with this!!!
Where's the any key?
Classes and levels
Lack of death penalty
Lack of incentive to group
'On-rails' feeling of running from zone to zone. Hell, distinct zones in general.
Meaningless city hubs / crappy excuses for 'cities'. Where do all the people live?
Weak crafting systems / in game economies.
Edit to add: the damn WoW clone cartoony atmosphere. I hate it. Stylization does have its place.. wakfu and dofus for instance. They're 'cute' on the surface. But there is a lack of gritty, realistic, dark fantasy settings imo.
BoP items
canceled items
Been bangn' since pong
I'm sure someone has already mentioned this...
-Taunting and tanking.
I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been -Wayne Gretzky
Lol, so many awesome posts... I agree bag slots and inventory is a huge disappointment, why am I limited to a number of slots regardless of if the item is a feather or an elephant egg? Shouldn't mass mean I can store more tiny items and less bigger ones? Why do I have to be penalized with lacking inventory slots? Especially on a game which has a subscription and doesn't sell me bigger backpacks, and limits the size of tailor made backpacks as well.
Why can't I just expand my bank more? Should be a great way to drain money out of the in-game economy along with mounts, right? What I'd give for inventory space...
Lack of expansion would also go with void storage/cosmetic wardrobe and other features, it all should be expanded!! It is time to let go of the past and move on with a brighter future of no more inventory constraints!! Oh, I'd love to head over to my mammoth and pack my items in some saddlebags for extra room on my personal avatar's inventory!!
There is no reason crafting is always weak and raiding is key, lack of socialization and community in mmos with groups being dead silent is a shame, apparently without camping and long 8-10 hr groups in Evequest 1 you no longer speak to people anymore. Crafters need to improve raiders equipment, this requires the no trade slot and would work like enchanting already does on WoW.
However, bind on pickup gear grinding still sucks, and most gear maybe even raid gear should be bind on account or even openly tradable... Everquest 2 already has raid gear as bind on account, which is sweet. However, below raid gear should mostly be tradable to anyone for the market economy, no trade/bind on pickup and heirloom mean that it usually is dis-enchanted/transmuted/salvaged or sold to an npc vendor...
Must we always have the same issues plaguing the industry that clones sell , and all unique games falter and fade away?
Why do you have to dismount and remount everytime you fight or gather a harvest node? It's an annoyance, and combat on mounts would be so much fun... 3-Dimensiional combat like Aion, flying mounts should do this, or at the very least not require you to dismount...
Thanks Everquest for not forcing constant wasting of time on dismounting!!
I only read the first page but...
this thread is full of awesome. Most MMOs today (as in all) suck DEEZ NUTZ so bad it is not even funny.
One COMMERCIAL fantasy MMO that didn't suck DEEZ NUTZ could get $250.00 a year from me easy. Too bad they don't wasn my cash lol.
I play Lord of Ultima. One of the few true non-carebear games out there, even if it is browser based.
I'll quickly add my drunk list of things game developers with IQs of peanuts can't figure out:
1) BoP. Ya, it is retarded.
2) Carebear death penalties.
3) Auction houses that resemble Ebay more than a medieval economy.
4) Themepark zones (mentioned 20 times already: level 1-5 here, 6-10 here, etc. etc.)
5) Instances (Battlegrounds)
6) Instances (Raids)
7) Instances (Zones, perhaps the worst immersion killer ever)
8) Bunnies dropping platemail (inspired by previous poster)
9) Quest givers asking you to kill the slutty wolves beside them
10) Repeatable quests (daily or otherwise, unless truly random, which is well, never)
11) Game altering nerfs (I should not be stronger 1 month in than 6 months later...listening Funcom? lol)
11) Pay to win (And this is coming from a F2P whale, relatively speaking)
12) EZ BREEZY PvE (Hi Tera, how are you? I should die before level 20 at least once...since I'm not very good at games)
13) Monty Haul (This isn't Torchlight every monster shouldn't drop 55 things)
14) Magical punctuation (I'll run to the question mark if you offer it to me, but don't expect me to respect the game after that)
God, I could go on for hours.
Rewards for participation. Hence, a generation of players reluctant to do anything that is not directly rewarded.
And gonna swipe Patrick Rothfuss' list, just because it's so good:
1. Prophecy. I don't ever want to read another novel about "the chosen one."
2. The helpless damsel. I've known a fair number of damsels in my day. The vast majority of them don't need saving.
3. Elves with bows who live in trees. Dwarves with axes who live in caves. It was fine when Tolkien did it, but that was 60 years ago. It's time for us to move on.
4. Brooding vampires. Any sort of vampire should probably be avoided at this point. The genre is kinda overrun.
5. Dragons. "In the game, you fight a dragon. And you know what? It was great. I was running around, getting burned by fire, worried I was going to die. It was exciting, dramatic. Then, a little while later, you fight another dragon. Then another. And another. And eventually, I'm just irritated by them. It was boring. You should never be bored fighting a dragon. When that happens, someone has really dropped the ball in terms of storytelling."
Self-pity imprisons us in the walls of our own self-absorption. The whole world shrinks down to the size of our problem, and the more we dwell on it, the smaller we are and the larger the problem seems to grow.
Female characters wearing a pasty and a leather thong that have the same AC and can take as much damage as a male character wearing full plate. Also games that have completely different looks for each sex of the same armor type (I'm looking at you WoW). A male puts on Total Coverage Chestpiece of Bulkiness and it looks like a chestpiece but you hand it to a female and it magically turns into Strip Club Time!
INB4 Sex Sells. Sex is not a be all end all folks. Lets drop our collective cocks and try logic once in a while shall we?
5 things here
-WoW style questing (short quests with big ! or ? over quest giver)
- INSTANCES my biggest thing gripe of modern day MMOs MMORPG are spose to bring the comunity together while do we teasr it appart with instances that make the game feel like a lobby co up game. what makes thing worst is that u must do these to get the best gear.
- Getting new gear every 5 minutes to replace the piece you just got from the previous quest, gear is just to abundant in todays games you dont hold onto a piece for more then a day (or a single level) without it getting replaced espiecly when leveling
-Soulbound items.
-A lack of challenge
