|In response to Re: Copper gas line to dryer
:I have one additional point to make: an engineer with the Gas Service Co. said the copper used when my house was built 44 years ago, about, was highly superior, stronger, etc. to that made & used today in such installations. There has been something raised about when you add a shut-off valve to such copper, it can flake. The shut off valve would connect on the other side with a stainless steel connector to my dryer. I intend to buy a stainless steel braided fleline flex connector with plastic inside to hook up to the dryer on the other side of the new shut-off valve. It costs more--about $30 retail. Is this the way to go. YOU SAID IN YOUR RESPONSE TO THE ORIGINAL QUESTION THAT YOU WOULD HAVE TO SEE IT TO DETERMINE WHETHER IT WAS OK. WHY DON'T ANY OF THE PEOPLE IN MY AREA WHO DO THIS TYPE OF WORK SAY THIS? AREN'T THEY SMART ENOUGH? WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? I have a question similar to that posted. As it approaches where the gas line would go through the basement floor & up a hole to behind my new gas dryer, there is a copper gas line--it is flexible copper. It is attached on the other side of the shutoff valve in the basement, not far from where it goes through the floor to behind the gas dryer. I was told by the city engeineer that some kinds of copper are approved for gas driers. I would need to know what kind of copper it is. I have the impression from speaking with the gas service supervisor that the kind that is approved to take gas to a gas dryer is that used in refrigerators. Yet everyone is getting on the band wagon, scared to death of copper, although copper is one of the finest materials for many types of workmanship--for ex., the government was considering doing away with the copper penny, because the copper in it was much more valuable than the penny itself. (I am not comparing a penny to a house's plumbing.) I don't know how to find what kind of copper I have on this last strentch of gas line to the dryer. WOuld it be on the copper line? Some "experts" are saying Wardflex is fine--or a variation thereof--these are mainly plumbers, but not always. I fail to have that much confidence in stainless steel--which is what wardflex & its different name brands are, however, it is lined in yellow plastic. One city engineer said the black iron pipe can corrode inside. He said he thinks products like Wardflex is better. I suppose to be conservative, it would be better just to put in black iron (which my plumbing, hearing, ac specialist does not know how to cut. Yet places like Home Depot will cut it for the workman to specifications (if my "workman" will put it in. Anyway, the use of copper raises many questions because I am not convinced it is all that bad--if it is the right kind of copper. My house was custom built 40 years ago--we have had a gas dryer hooked up for some 30 years, and no problems. Still, it fhe black iron is safer, then I will try to get that done before My new dryer is hooked up. Please let us hear your expertise. : What type of joints does it have? Copper is not usually used for natural gas connections, since in some areas the gas is corrosive to copper. You may have seen brass flexible connectors used to connect water heaters, etc.. Without seeing your installation, we cannot tell if it could be a problem or not, since there are other factors that determine its appropriateness besides the material.
: : : I have about a 15 foot run of copper tubing that supplies my natural gas cloths dryer in my crawl space. It connects to the black iron pipe and appears to have been added some time ago. It is all above ground and has no sweated joints. It has never been a concern of mine but I'm selling my home and was told that some inspectors might question this. I've seen copper used before for supply of gas to water heaters. Why do some not like copper for gas lines? Does it matter if the copper is L or M?

"When you're at the end of your rope, tie a knot and hold on" ― Theodore Roosevelt
So something called a Steve Burton - a CBS reporter from Boston who has been right about some stuff in the past - went on Teh Twitterz and said that the lockout was going to end in the next couple of days. Then we get all excited and then Bill Daly comes out and says that this is absolutely false.
"I laugh because I must not cry, that is all, that is all." ― Abraham Lincoln
Remember when the NHL was in a prolonged labour dispute and it looked like the whole season might be lost and we would all be condemned to watching NFL, TV poker or worse? No, not this time we mean. The last time. Yeah that one.
A younger and sillier Wanye would watch SportsCentre (then known as SportsDesk) and would hang on every word and update. Any ray of hope - no matter how small - was seized as a massive likelihood that the ice hockey was about to return.
A lot of this had to do with the fact that we were in the midst of opening up a sports bar with buddies at the time. It's funny how the absence of hockey has an adverse impact on a brand new sports bar, but we digress.
As the weeks ticked by we got our hopes up time and time again, certain that the NHL and the NHLPA wouldn't be able to write off an entire season. And time and time again our hopes were dashed on the proverbial rocks until finally the season was cancelled.
Then there was nothing left to do but grind our teeth and cry in our slow selling beer.
"Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed." ― Alexander Pope
When Steve Burton - whoever he may be - said that he had inside information that things were looking good all of a sudden it was the first time in the 2012 Lockout that we allowed ourselves even a glimmer of hope that the season might not be written off. "He was right about Kessel back in the day" we mused after looking up who exactly Steve Burton is "perhaps lightning can strike twice."
Cue Bill Daly, smasher of dreams:
A Boston TV station reported Monday that an end to the NHL lockout could come this week, but NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly denied that the report was accurate, according to several media outlets. Players and owners are set to meet on Tuesday followed by the Board of Governors meeting on Wednesday.
Steve Burton at WBZ in Boston said talks behind closed doors have made significant progress and an announcement about an end of the lockout could come Tuesday or Wednesday. There have been no other indications that a deal is imminent, and Daly dumped cold water on the report.
Daly wrote to Patrick Caisse of TVA Sports, saying, "I'm aware of the reports making the rounds. Unfortunately, there is no truth to them." When Sarah Kwak of Sports Illustrated asked Daly if there was any morsel of truth to the WBZ report that a deal is imminent, Daly responded to Kwak by saying, "Not even a single morsel."
Not even a single morsel Bill? Not even a micron of a crumb?
"Totally without hope one cannot live. To live without hope is to cease to live. Hell is hopelessness. It is no accident that above the entrance to Dante's hell is the inscription: "Leave behind all hope, you who enter here." ― Jürgen Moltmann, Theology of Hope
It's difficult to say what a better course of action is at times like these. On the one hand you can do like Wanye Circa 2004 and have continual hope that things are going to work out for the better. The alternative is what we have seen many people doing on twitter and in the Nation poll - writing off the entire season in their mind and getting on with the business of living their lives.
It's a tough call what the better move is at this point. We are an eternal optimist - though we have been forcing ourselves to ignore specific rumours, innuendos and hints from the various talking heads - part of us still can't believe that the season is going to be entirely lost. Again.
Sure, part of that is because it also turns out that a chain of hockey blogs requires actual hockey at some point. But really we just love the ice hockey - specficly the Mighty Mighty Oilers. Have since a kid and will continue to cheer inappropriately until we are old and grey and have transferred the mania to legions of Wanye Jrs.
We can't treat it all with professional detatchment like so many in the MSM. Players are still heroes, cheering after goals is a must not like up in the dusty press box. We believe in something bigger than the players, management and owners. Something that can be hurt short term but never killed by a labour dispute.
We just want the Oilers to return to the ice regardless of their quality of play and refuse to abandon hope that it will happen this year no matter how painful those hopes being crushed may ultimately be. Those involved in both 2004 and 2012 labour disputes aren't the game. They are merely employees of us all for a short time before heading off into the sunset and being replaced by new heroes. They can't kill what we love, try as they might.
So what is your strategy? Are you clinging to hope like Lindsay Lohan as she faces down jail time and the IRS seizing her bank accounts? Or are you throwing it all away and resigning yourself to another winter sans hockey? Let it all out in the comments Nation, whether it be hopeful or hopeless. It's cheaper than therapy and in tough times like these we all need to stick together and talk it out.
There is no arena update.
December 04 2012, 03:12PM
I like the implication that you'll actually know about all the Wayne Jrs. out there. I hear you blog types are worse than NBA stars for keeping track of that sort of thing.
December 04 2012, 03:12PM
My hope was killed when the players came to the table last official set of meetings with an offer that prevented their share from ever dropping and asking for almost double the amount of "Make Whole" money the league had graciously offered them.
Like, maybe no one will notice that we arent dropping to 50/50 and are unlinking from HRR.
That offer was the equivalent of taking the season out back, Old Yeller style.
December 04 2012, 03:26PM
If TSN/Sportsnet, etc. stopped reporting on the lockout until it was over... it would be over. This endless media obsession with what Fehr had for lunch (he prefers the vital organs of kittens on multi-grain, toasted, topped with the salty tears of innocent children), or how many times Bettman scratched his nutz during the last "negotiating session" (or, rather, had Daly scratch them for him) only creates the illusion of interest. No one cares about what's NOT happening! Seriously, I would rather watch in-depth coverage of Borneo basket weaving than see one more !@#$ing animated graphic explaining the intricacies of decertification.
December 04 2012, 03:42PM
I am at the point that I HOPE the season is cancelled and the players don't see a dime of anything they were to make this year.
I want the 13 profitable teams to lose money.
The rest of the teams are actually at least breaking even. For those teams, I HOPE that fans do not come back into the half-full arenas, and they continue to lose money until people realize hockey hath no place in the desert.
Go CHL. Go KHL.
Not watching poker these days.. But playin alot more.. Football? Basketball? What are these?? only Hockey matters...... Fist i must sob then eat... then sob some more.. WAKE UP AND GET A DEAL DONE ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how much time to i need to spend with the wife anyways.. geezuz!!!
December 04 2012, 03:12PM
Awe little Wanyer, maybe watch "Rudy". That'll make you feel right as rain.
December 04 2012, 03:20PM
Won't be any hockey this year. It won't happen unless the players collectively agree to financially cut their left arms off. And that won't happen, so no hockey. The owners aren't going to let this thing end until they get every cent, every last bit of contract control that they have decided that they are going to get. The players can't accept that they won't get the owners to honor the contracts already signed or see that they have more to lose by not making a deal than making one. The owners don't care that they are screwing over the players and can't see the damage they are doing to their business(es) by simply not moving on the contract issues. Just don't ask why I hang on every shred of news every day (I do) because I don't know. The only hope I have is that I'm wrong.
December 04 2012, 03:22PM
No hockey and limited to no Wanye blogs make TB go something something...

Well... at least we can comment on pollz now.

Well... at least we can comment on pollz now.
That IS true. I remember a time when you could NOT comment on pollz on this site. Those were dark times.
Speaking of dark times, I also remember a time when Wanye forgot to renew the domain for the site and we all thought he sold out to GoDaddy.
I gave up hope months ago. I've been to a few AHL games this season, which is good.
Really, I was beginning to wonder where all my time was going, watching 70+ games on tv for the past two seasons. Now I use that time to learn piano and play Flight Simulators. But now I'm spending all of my cash on FSX addons and rudders and yokes and joysticks and throttle controls and GAH! Like a thousand bucks!
My hope was killed when the players came to the table last official set of meetings with an offer that prevented their share from ever dropping and asking for almost double the amount of "Make Whole" money the league had graciously offered them.
Like, maybe no one will notice that we arent dropping to 50/50 and are unlinking from HRR.
That offer was the equivalent of taking the season out back, Old Yeller style.
So true instead of a 50/50 year one the players were wanting a 120/0 split asking for more in contracts than the league was likely to make. What a bunch of douche bags. Of course they are spoiled rich kids now, they don't have to take responsibility for anything that's happened, can't possibly be any of their faults.

Now we have a Dallylamma contributing to the hockey world........there is a god!
Before we all lose hope, let's remember what we are dealing with. Anyone ever trying logic on a three year old who has been told they don't get all the candy in the supermarket?
That's what will be happening today except with 18 of them! I say cancel the season just to teach these brats, you can't always get what you want.
I say fug em!
December 04 2012, 05:24PM
I agree with what Archaeologuy wrote. They have thrown out percentage of HHR. Make whole was a gift from the owners and was tossed aside. Changing the ratio to 50/50 necessitates a reduction of current contracts to compensate for available revenue.
There are many players and folks here at ON that think it's OK to have socialized owners (sharing revenue) and capitalistic players. Shouldn't maybe the Crosby's of the league kick in a little to the 3/4th liners who just get by with league minimum.

Ya right! Do you think Hall was sharing his salary at the beginning of the year when he was getting paid on injured reserve?
Socialist owners and capitalist players. Owners are in it for the good of the league (profitable teams), while the players are in it for themselves. This can be seen by the regard the players have for their fellow teammates. Khabibulin and Sutton won't see another paycheque. Do youo think Horcoff cares?

Been resigned to fact no season from day 1. Dont follow the Labour news much at all. I follow OKC and Schultz/Eberle/kids but half of that is just to talk sh*t to my buddy who cheers for Anaheim.
Strangely, I dont miss it, because we're used to going so long without it. If we were a playoff team used to shorter offseasons then it would be worse I think.
December 04 2012, 09:05PM
NOT resigned. Missing Oilers hockey VERY much. I'm not an NHL fan as much as an Oilers fan. Been following the team for years. Don't give a crap about junior what's his name never will-be's. LOVE watching OILERS games at the bar. The sooner this godforsaken lockout is over the g*d d*mn better. OILERS! G*d d*mn OILERS!
And in case you guys haven't noticed, if this lockout goes on Oilers Nation is in serious jeopardy. It's the best combination of serious discussion and tom foolery *cough* Wanye *cough* on these here intarwebs.
If you guys like this site then you better be going to bed every night asking whatever deity you worship to end this horrible, horrible lockout STAT!
Finally, Wanye is a pretty fine fellow in real life and a successful businessman I'd hate to see go away. We need more guys like him around Edmonton.

I've been watching a lot of college football and most Barons games. I've thought about changing the routine to do more productive things, but then I remembered that I started watching sports and such to relax and spend time doing relatively stress-free things. So far hasn't been terrible, but now that the football regular season just ended I'm going to find something else, and I've never liked basketball much...maybe winter TV premieres? If there are hockey fans out there who have never gotten into football, I'd recommend it, though I find college more exciting than NFL for some reason.
December 05 2012, 11:23AM
Even though I am the one who knocks, I still have hope.
If you don't get that reference, Breaking Bad will help fill this current (and ultimately temporary) void, along with many other fine programs like the Walking Dead, Dexter, Curb, etc., etc. There's also the NFL, video games, hell even reading. I've also heard that it is OK (or fun even) to consume alcohol when there is no hockey game on. And of course our good friend porn is always standing by.
In short, this too shall pass. Just pretend its a really long, really cold summer! Then when they do come back enjoy the 20-game winning streak to start the season due to the Vulcan mind-meld the kids are developing down on the farm. Or at least, we can hope.
December 05 2012, 10:32PM
So they deprive me of Oilers hockey. Fine. I divert my attention to Barons, Oilkings, and a little Neftekhimik when I catch it in the morning. To tell you the truth, I was pissed when it looked like they were going to work things out. The blasted NHL was about to cannibalize my teams! They disregard my needs and desires when they start cancelling games. And then they decimate my teams, the ones that took my broken hockey heart to their tender bosoms to heal. Is there going to be an NHL season? I don't know and I don't care. There is plenty of hockey for me to get into either way. Will I watch if they come back? Of course. But first, I'm going to be mad. Then after a game or two, I'll be caught up in the drama that is our Oilers.

Patient killed caseworker before gunfight: doctor
AP July 26, 2014, 12:00 am TWN
DARBY, Pennsylvania--A doctor told police that a patient fatally shot a caseworker at their hospital complex before the doctor pulled out his own gun and exchanged fire with him and wounded him, a prosecutor said Thursday night.
Dr. Lee Silverman, a psychiatrist, was grazed in the temple during the gunfight in his office with patient Richard Plotts, according to District Attorney Jack Whelan.
Whelan identified the caseworker killed Thursday afternoon at Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital as Theresa Hunt, 53. Hunt, who was from Philadelphia, had accompanied Plotts to an appointment with Silverman at a psychiatric crisis center adjacent to the hospital in Darby, just southwest of Philadelphia, authorities said.
"When the caseworker was shot, (Silverman) crouched down behind the desk to avoid him being shot," Whelan said. "He was able to reach for his weapon, and realizing it was a life or death situation, was able to engage the defendant in the exchange of gunfire."
A struggle ensued and spilled out into the hallway, Whelan said. Another doctor and a caseworker jumped in to help Silverman and secure Plotts' weapon, he said.
The motive for the shooting remained unclear late Thursday, although Whelan said Plotts, of Upper Darby, might have had issues with the doctor over his treatment plan. However, it's unclear if that's why Silverman was armed, apparently against hospital policy.
"We do believe that there were some issues between the doctor and the patient, but whether or not he actually feared him is unclear," the prosecutor said. "From all accounts, (he) would have acted in self-defense."
Whelan said that Plotts, 49, was still in surgery Thursday evening at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, while Silverman had been treated and released. Telephone calls to the doctor's home went unanswered.
Plotts does not have a listed home phone number. Court records in Delaware County show a man of the same name and age with a lengthy criminal record, but Whelan was uncertain if they were the same person.
The hospital has a policy barring anyone except on-duty law enforcement officers from carrying weapons on its campus, a spokeswoman for the Mercy Health System said.
But Yeadon Police Chief Donald Molineux said that "without a doubt, I believe the doctor saved lives."
"Without that firearm, this guy (the patient) could have went out in the hallway and just walked down the offices until he ran out of ammunition," the chief said.
Two guns were recovered from the scene, Whelan said.
Staff members had heard loud arguing inside Silverman's office during the appointment. They opened the door and noticed the patient had a gun pointed at the doctor, so they quietly closed the door and dialed emergency services, Whelan said. Gunshots were heard a short time later, just before 2:30 p.m.
Plotts, severely wounded from several shots, emerged from the office, and another doctor and a caseworker helped wrestle him to the floor of the hallway and grabbed his weapon, Whelan said.
"They acted vigilantly. They acted bravely," he said.
The exchange of gunfire occurred on the third floor of the Wellness Center at Mercy Fitzgerald, a 204-bed community teaching hospital. Authorities said there are no surveillance cameras in the doctor's office or the waiting area outside. They also said the center had no metal detectors.
Patients waiting in the first-floor lobby reported a tense scene when police arrived and ordered everyone out. Most of the patients were elderly.
"I dozed off, and I heard the cop shouting, 'Come on, come on, get out!'" said Millicent Russell, of Lansdowne, who was waiting for a 3 p.m. appointment. "There were people with walkers and canes and stuff. All these cops were outside running here and there with these guns."

The game many of us grew up playing or watching will once again have to face one of its deepest and darkest secrets now that Graham James is back in Canada. This time around, I hope the hockey world embraces the victims and sets the stage for other victims to come forward because the hockey world will support them too.
Early Wednesday morning at the Pearson International airport in Toronto, James, the convicted sex offender and former WHL coach and Hockey News man of the year, was arrested by members of the Winnipeg Police Service. On October 13th, Winnipeg police issued a warrant for James' arrest in connection with charges of sexual assault and other life-ruining acts involving three complainants, one of which is former NHLer Theo Fleury.
When the warrant was originally issued I wondered if James would have the guts to ``Man Up`` and do the right thing. He was living in Mexico and had he chose to stay there it would have taken years to extradite him back to Canada. He could have remained in hiding and never faced the music, which based on his past history is what I thought he would do. I applaud him for returning to Canada to face his charges and finally doing the right thing.
Sexual assualt or abuse is still very much a taboo topic in society and maybe even more in hockey. Hockey, and in fact most sports, have always tried to maintain an image of toughness filled with lots of bravado and machismo. Showing weakness was, and sometimes still is, frowned upon. Unfortunately history shows that in hockey and in real life turning a blind eye to allegations or rumours of sexual abuse is the norm.
In 1996, James was arrested and charged with sexual assault against two minors. Former NHLer, Sheldon Kennedy was one of them while the other chose to remain anonymous. James plead guilty in 1997 and was sentanced to three and a half years in jail.At the time of his conviction he admitted to over 350 sexual encounters with the boys.
In 2009, it was revealed that two years earlier James was actually quietly given a pardon by the Justice System. I don't want to focus on how someone could have allowed that to happen, but the Federal Government has since said it would crack down on pardons to avoid similar situations.
The James case will re-open wounds for the victims, but unfortunately many of us prefer not to hear or read about. When James was charged in 1996 many people around him didn't believe it. They thought James, who used to be a teacher, was a great guy.
I wonder if some choose not to believe it, because they'd rather just not deal with it?
It must be very disappointing that many Canadians don't want to deal with this type of abuse and are more apt to look the other way, And yet the victims, who have already suffered tremendously are forced to find the strength and courage to face their demons head on and in this case in front of the media spotlight.
Theo Fleury has recently released a best selling book about his abuse at the hands of James and has become a spokesperson for sexual abuse.
I had Fleury on my show and asked him to explain why it took him so long to finally be able to talk about his past.
"I really needed to be ready to do this so it would have the biggest impact. I don't think it was in people's best interest to see a guy in front of reporters or talking about it in documentaries who was still broken and still breaking down and upset about what happened to him in his life. I needed to be a position of strength. I needed to be in a position where I had taken back my own power, and I think the honesty in which the book was presented reflected that."
Unfortunately many in the public don't want to hear about sexual abuse cases. We all too often turn a blind eye and the statistics show that there are severe consequences for the victims who come forward - especially males and especially in sports.
All too often people make insensitive comments like, "If he didn't like it he would have stopped it," without thinking that no one in their right mind would want to have their innocence and soul taken away. This not only discourages victims of sexual abuse to come forward, but it also creates a culture of secrecy that allows predators like Graham James to continue to commit their horrific crimes.
I have never been assaulted, so I can't truly understand how it would impact one's life and what they must go through on a day to day basis afterwards. I have however talked with many who have. The saddest part is that in most cases the reaction they receive when the unveil what happened is just as hurtful and damaging as the original abuse.
It goes without saying that hockey is more than just our national pastime here in Canada.
I don't think there is anything that unifies our nation more than our love of the sport, and that is why the hockey world needs to be front and centre in the James case. Fleury told me that during many of his book signings, many males would come up to him say thank you and then lean in close and whisper to him, "I've been there too man."
How has Fleury's life changed now that he has come forward?
"I'm now a very strong advocate for sexual abuse and sexual violence. There are lots of kids out there who, on a daily basis, are victims to pedophiles that we don't know about. I truly believe that this subject is the biggest epidemic we have on the planet. For years no one wanted to talk about and the trickle down effect that is has on people who have mental illnesses or post tramatic stress disorder is alarming. I think homelessness is a direct by product of abuse and prisons are full of guys who are angry and resentful and they want to get back at society. It is a bigger thing than people can imagine.
"I'm very comfortable now to stand out in front and try to make a difference and challenge the people in Ottawa who make the laws and the judicial system and even you guys in the media. Nine times out of ten, most media guys don't go after the perpetrator they always go after the weaker, innoncent victims of sexual abuse because it is easier. And that just reflects how completely backwards and upside down the system is.
"Now I don't care what people think about me or feel about me. Through my process I found out who I am as a person and I've found strength, courage and hope. I've realized that when I was uncomfortable at any point in my life, if I had just walked through the fear that there would be huge growth in me.
"Anybody who is thinking about going through this process I encourage them to do it, because I am such a better person today than I ever was at any other point in my life. Yes there were times when it was difficult and hard, but my entire life has been that way, so it's a matter of facing the challenges and making sure you have the support of family and friends."
As I looked into the Graham James case, I came across an incredible article by Gare Joyce. It was written in 2006, and talked about the connection surrounding the 20-year anniversary of the Swift Current Broncos bus crash that killed Trent Kresse, Scott Kruger, Chris Mantyka and Brent Ruff and along with it Graham James' original court case.
James was the coach when the Broncos' bus crashed on December 30th, 1986.
Joyce wrote how a small community turned its back on the victims of crash and those who suffered at the hands of James.
There were other lingering questions in Swift Current, questions about the man who coached the Broncos to their championship. Scott Kruger was just the first to air his doubts about Graham James' sexual orientation. Over the years, the Broncos' coach was subject to taunts from opponents and crowds across the WHL. And sometimes James' players were targeted, too. They heard chants of "Graham's bumboy."
Sheldon Kennedy had been the first of the Broncos to hear the chants. He left Swift Current after the championship season and made it to the NHL, first with Detroit, later with Boston. Kennedy had been a promising junior but a disappointment as a pro — he battled injuries and substance abuse. NHL teammates thought it strange that his coach in Swift Current stayed in contact with him and remained unusually involved in his life.
After years of whispers and innuendo, James was arrested in 1996 and charged with sexual assault against minors. Two Swift Current players would testify against him: Kennedy and another whose name is protected by a court order. Kennedy would reveal a pattern of abuse that started when he played for James in age-group hockey in Winnipeg and stretched through his time with the Broncos. And, as Kennedy would describe it, the abuse seemed to be almost in plain sight. It happened in his parents' home, even with his parents in another room. It happened in Centennial Civic Centre, when other people were around the arena. It happened in James' home in Swift Current, when he was supposed to be doing homework with the coach and would show up at his billets' home drunk and incoherent at 5 a.m.
And here lies the fault line that runs through the community.
On one side you have people like Fanner Kruger. "I hate him," she says of James. "I could kill him. It takes a lot of the joy out of what that team did in their championship season. Poor Sheldon. I always wondered what was wrong with him. I knew that he drank a lot when he was with the Broncos. I should have asked questions. Scott saw a red flag and others must have seen it, too."
Fanner knew about the taunts on the ice. She isn't alone in asking, "What if I had done something?"
But on the other side of the fault line, there are those who claim to have been blindsided by the charges against James and his subsequent conviction. The conventional wisdom in hockey holds that no one knows a team better than the trainer — a trainer moves freely between the coach's office and the dressing room and is the confidant of all. Yet Hahn says he was shocked when the Royal Canadian Mounted Police laid charges against James: "I never saw it coming, I didn't see any warning signs at all, and I was around the team more than anybody."
Says Costello: "Graham was different ways with different people. With reporters, he always had time to talk and always tried to help out. He was a very bright man and he was aware how the media could keep his image as an educator."
Like Hahn and Costello, many people in Swift say that they never imagined the coach's sordid secrets. None of them knew Kennedy better than Frank and Colleen McBain. Kennedy and Sakic were the McBains' boarders, yet the couple says there wasn't a hint of trouble. More than that, the McBains still insist that James did many good things. Colleen McBain, who was a guidance counselor at the Swift Current high school, praises James for his work with the team after the bus crash. "Graham did a great job with the boys after the accident," she says. "He conducted himself admirably. He was very strong … professional."
Even in retrospect, the McBains can't see anything strategic or sinister in James' brushing off psychological counseling for the players after the deaths of their four teammates. When it's suggested to them that perhaps James was slamming that door to protect his awful secrets, the McBains say that he was simply following the players' wishes. "The boys wanted it that way," Frank McBain says.
None of this surprises Sheldon Kennedy. The way he sees it, nothing much has changed over the years.
"The idea that Graham James got us through the bus crash is insulting," Kennedy says. "We didn't rally around him. The players rallied. He had nothing to do with it. And he kept the professional help from the team because he didn't want anyone to know he was a sexual predator — keeping out professional help was his idea, not the players'. The idea of keeping the dressing-room door closed came from him.

pretty big difference between underage boys and adult girls dont you think?
you dont think there would be an uproar if it were 15 year old girls in skimpy outfits?
~i know it would be rude of me to come right out and call you an idiot, so i will refrain from coming right out and saying it~
I have no problem being rude and calling Greg an idiot.
You're an idiot Greg if you think that a coach sexually abusing his underage players compares with "oggling" cheerleaders.
Ironic. Everyone is in a uproar about young boys being sexually violated (rightfully so), but no one has an issue with putting young girls in skimpy outfits in front of thousands of people to be oggled. How is that not also sexually violating a human being?
I'm glad you said it first.
Somehow it is ok to demonstrate to young women that the only chance they have at advancement is to wear little or no clothes.
Dan and cableguy you are incorrect to attack Greg for making the connection between the complete objectification of women and the abuse that girls suffer every day.
The comment calling for ice girls in this article demonstrated a complete lack of class and tact. The guy who made that comment is the one who deserves your ire.

Why don't you ask Theo Fleury or Sheldon Kennedy if they think what they went through compares to being a cheerleader?
@Jason Gregor
Just to be clear, I wasn't equating the two or even remotely suggesting the affects are close. My apologies if it came across that way, and I hope it doesn't distract people from the point of a very good article. I was simply trying to point out that it was ironic for someone to call for ice girls pics in an article about sexual abuse. I stand by that, but Bar Qu clearly said that better than I did.
I'm all for giving people second chances, but they also should have to live with the consequences of their actions, and if some employer won't hire them because of it, that is their fault. I know lots of employers who give people convicts a second chance, but they would like to know up front what they are dealing with.
Well, reasonable people can disagree on this, I suppose. When the James thing first flared up, I took a look for some academic research on the very question you're referring to, whether people are, generally speaking, able to set aside the conviction issue. One of the papers I came across said this:
The evidence suggests that employers discriminate against ex-offenders in the labour market. The problem is potentially serious as it involves a substantial proportion of the population, especially the male population. Since research has shown that most people with prior convictions stop offending by their late 20s or early 30s, the validity of selection based on criminal record remains questionable.
The consequences of excluding ex-offenders from the job market are serious, not only for them but for the potential victims of crime. Employment discrimination against ex-offenders reduces their attachment to the labour force, leaving them few options but to continue committing crime (Auletta, 1983). Crutchfield and Pitchford (1997, p. 93) found, in their longitudinal study of 12,000 youths, that "time out of the labour force is positively related to criminal involvement and that when workers expect their current employment to be of longer duration, they are less likely to engage in crime." Jobs provide not only a much needed income, but also extra-economic benefits such as "social status, an interpersonal context, and psychologically rewarding activities" important to the development and maintenance of social and mental wellbeing (Liker, 1982, p. 264). The evidence suggests that most ex-offenders want to turn over a new leaf and see employment as a key ingredient in going 'straight' and gaining respectability (Irwin, 1970; Liker, 1982; Meisenhelder, 1977). Ex-offenders denied employment opportunities are more likely to feel depressed and become entrapped in a "vicious cycle of self-defeating behaviours" which may involve re-engaging in illegitimate activities (Liker, 1982, p. 282). It is not surprising that research links the more frequent incidence and longer duration of unemployment to higher rates of recidivism (Rossi et 242 Helen Lam and Mark Harcourt al., 1980) and longer criminal 'careers' (Britt, 1997; Carmichael, 2000; Raphael and Winter- Ebmer, 1998; Uggen, 2000; Witte and Tauchen, 1994). From a public policy perspective, re-integrating ex-offenders into society has other benefits as well. For instance, it reduces the law enforcement costs of police, courts, and prisons and the social welfare costs of income support. Re-integrated ex-offenders not only cease to be a major drain on public resources, they also become productive contributors to the community and to the economy. Their re-integration also promises to alleviate labour shortages in low unemployment regions, expanding potential output and reducing inflationary pressures (Minehan, 1997).
If the recidivism risk is low, I'm not sure that employers should, necessarily, have a right to know about past conduct. James' case is a bit special because of the sexual aspect of it but the pardon that he got wouldn't apply for any jobs in which he'd be working with vulnerable people.
In any event, we as a society have a lot of reasons to want ex-convicts to be able to re-integrate into society and the work force. It's one thing if, by doing so, we're exposing unsuspecting people to an unacceptable level of risk but if the risk is low, then I'm not so sure that we do want that information being made available to employers.
Ironically, James might be the guy in Canadian history who has benefitted least from a pardon. I'm sure that part of the reason he was living and working in Mexico is that he's unemployable in Canada because of his notoriety. A pardon can't take that away.
Why don't you ask Theo Fleury or Sheldon Kennedy if they think what they went through compares to being a cheerleader?
Why don't you talk to some elementary students about how to properly read.
@Dan the Man
Dan the man, where do you see in Bar Qu's comment a comparison between being a cheerleader and what happened to Fleury and Kennedy? He simply states it's an objectification of women. He's stating an opinion (one I share), but doesn't even mention Fleury or Kennedy or imply any relation between the two. If you have a different opinion, feel free to state that, but there's no need to get antagonistic about a point no one is even trying to make.

That sounds like a comparison to me and Bar Qu agreed with it.
If your only point was to point out the classless comment calling for ice girls that was a strange way of phrasing it.

@Jason Gregor
And a serious question for you. If a guy gets a pardon and is at the airport and they ask if he was arrested and he said no, would the pardon erase the arrest, or would it still show up? I've never been arrested so I don't know, but would the pardon affect a person's record via airport? Just curious if you know. --------------------------------
Jason - I called the government after hearing of a Canadian that had crossed the border hundreds of times and then one day was denied entry. As I was informed, the pardon from the Canadian Government does not hold much water at the US Border.
It is completely up to the Customs Agent whether he/she decides that you can enter the US.
I have crossed the border hundreds of times without trouble since my 'mistake' in 1974 but I now carry my passport, my nexus card and a copy of my pardon but still that may not be enough. The Feds told me to contact the Department of Homeland Security and get a letter from them....haven't got around to that yet.
@Jason Gregor
Jason, just a few things:
"sympathy for James"- I never thought that you had sympathy for James.
re: expert testimony- Did the expert comment on precedence for convicted pedophiles up on new charges being provided Mexican citizenship? (sorry I missed this on the radio btw or I wouldn't have to ask)
re: "pound of flesh"- My draconian wish to have James put down like a common animal has little to do with punishing him and lots to do with: -ensuring that his previous victims can sleep knowing he's not doing this to anyone else -ensure he is not doing this to anyone else -ensure that anyone with the same sick cravings thinks twice about the consequences of acting on their impulses.
October 29 2010, 04:37PM
They are WOMEN, not girls. And they choose to do it. No one forces them. To compare looking at a women to sexually abusing a boy is so inaccurate on your point it's baffling.
You should be ashamed to suggest the longterm affects of sexual abuse is even close to oggling.
I feel compelled to offer a different perspective to this comment.
Yes, it's true that the women who choose to be ice girls do so of their own volition and based on their own motivations. The issue I have is with all of the young girls who go with their families to hockey games who don't have the same choice. When these young girls see men turning their heads to get a look at Ice Women, a superficial standard of beauty is being reinforced. Ice Women are not the only source of these standards, of course, but I'm still not sure why the management feels compelled to introduce them into a rink that is almost always sold out. While all hockey teams want to market to families that include young girls, surely they must also be aware of the dangerous body images that this can promote. It just doesn't add up, and this part of the issue isn't discussed very often.
Aside from all this, I want to thank you again for addressing this difficult subject matter. Clearly there are many different facets to the issues surrounding it and just as many opinions, and I appreciate your effort in writing about them and discussing them with us.

Get a grip. You think because you post something we have to bow down to your demands. Get a grip of yourself. Your opinion means no more than any other poster. Keep swearing and you will be banned. It isn't hard. Freedom of speech doesn't allow you to say whatever you want. Wake up.
The picture has him holding MAN OF THE YEAR in hockey news. Are you ignorant enough not to see the irony of it? That is the point.
Here's the irony Jason,Graham James needs cheerleaders now more than ever you keep applauding him, I'll get you some pompoms...
As a parent of a decent Bantam aged player I see the collective will of parents, coaches and minor hockey to continually push toward optimum development paths to create the best possible system and best possible hockey players. Part of this system requires boys to be put into situations which are not ideal for protecting the kids from this type of thng. Whether it be Junior hockey or other high level teams in their teenaged years. Hockey is not alone, but our obsession to try get our kids to the next level opens us up to all kinds of problems, this is just one. My kid will never play Midget AAA or Junior, not because he's not good enough, but because i just dont think its a healthy way to grow up.
Ironic. Everyone is in a uproar about young boys being sexually violated (rightfully so), but no one has an issue with putting young girls in skimpy outfits in front of thousands of people to be oggled. How is that not also sexually violating a human being?
Brilliant. The fact that someone, somwhere, was violated sexually should immediately preclude all sexuality, for all people, for all time.
October 29 2010, 06:40PM
Glad to see your ignorance continues to shine through. The great part about your posts is it allows everyone to see just how clueless you are. We don't have to say anything. Thanks.
...sticks and stones...so we're ok then?
October 30 2010, 06:39AM
...sticks and stones...so we're ok then?
. . . it's been over ten hours and i haven't been called ignorant more than twice, clueless or any other name since taking the esteemed gregor to task ... he failed to see that people get passionate and heated when hot button flash point filled topics are brought up. I applaud him for his threat of banishment if i don't tow the sites' line, stop disagreeing, start seeing the irony & prove myself worthy of being apart of his one way street called Oilers Nation...a place where he sucks all the fun out of Freedom of speech for me.I'd ban me too for any of that stuff. So,I guess i'm in the clear. It's pointless to hold my breath for any sort of explanation from the one [ego maniac] in charge of 'positive fridays' as to why he applauded a sexual predator for anything...if only he just admitted that he was wrong then i wouldn't even be thinking of canceling my Brass Bonanza ringtone. This probably won't actually make it to post [nazi germany] but if i thought it might I would only say...Jason...It Was Your Thread kid and you blew it! You've obviously spoken for everyone here and if no one reads or cares anything about what I post,even in this last post, i'm good with that...
i'm just glad we're OK.
@pelhem grenville
Personally I think you'd be more at home commenting on youtube videos. That's the true troll playground.
You weren't the only one to comment on the use of the word 'applaud'. However you are the only one not open enough to accept Jason's explanation.
October 31 2010, 09:12AM
Boy you can't fool me...i picked up on the cryptic sarcasm and i applaud you ...it's much better than your first approach with all the name calling Jason. You're right, I DO pay close attention. but tell me sir...the characterized word F*%K or it's cousin motherf%$ker...have these words been sanctioned and deemed swearing here? If it isn't swearing tell me why those words in disguise are used along with a plethora of other 'swears' that have their letters reversed and symbols inserted to get around the no swearing rule limply enforced here on a regular basis. Surely there must be a pardon of sorts with first offenders [me] when they omit a symbol from a bad word.
Secondly, along with swearing you say that you delete comments that include "disparaging remarks". Just so we're clear here Jason, the word 'disparage' in my world is defined as: to bring reproach upon someone...but furthermore, and here's where you apply your craft as a hybrid MSM writer radio type...to belittle or insult someone.
here's what YOU have written about me here to date with regard to my dissidence...if i'm no more important than any other poster here then why do i appear to be so in your gun sights with these belittling insulting comments?
"...it allows everyone to see just how clueless you are..."
"...your ignorance continues to shine through..."
"...You just don't seem to be able to grasp simple concepts..."
..."Again, is it that hard to figure out..."
"...Are you ignorant enough not to see the irony of it? ..."
all your words
and here's what citizen Rob posted when he came to your defense with his brand of feckless disparaging remarks...with some vague reference to YouTube comments i should make.
"...That's the true troll playground..."HUH? he droned on to me about "...you weren't the only one to comment on the use of the word 'applaud'..." good 'ol Rob was bang on about me not being the only one...because i was the first one.(getting over myself here sorry)... but you didn't go off on Rob did you Jason?...not even when he said 'he never thought you [of all people] would have "sympathy" for James'. where Rob got that from I have no idea, not me...so the dictatorship[not my word your word] works for some but not for others, that's cool
Therefore, I could call you a cyber hypocrite no? I've guessed that you are an ego maniac... you've said here "...you applauded James for finally...blahblahblah"... it's too dictatorial a concept for you to be let off the [my] hook...again your way or no way...it's lame and i still vehemently take exception and you still claim "I'm not wrong" ...it's a good thing you invited me to disagree all i want so i'm going to...ThankYou. If that's your final disappointing answer and you will not admit that it was, at the very least the wrong choice of words or even a sketchy thought process...may i suggest then
... you somehow get a telephone interview with Graham James and say to Graham James on the air, at the top of the first segment of any Jason Gregor Show on The Team 1260...say to him "I applaud you for coming back to Canada to face these charges".
Think of the ratings Jason!
@pelhem grenville
"but you didn't go off on Rob did you Jason?...not even when he said 'he never thought you [of all people] would have "sympathy" for James'."
I never said anything even close to that. Seek psychological help, troll.
Edit: Your incorrect use of quotes to identify my statement as being word for word and your creative, and ridiculously incorrect, interpretation is really sad. No wonder I couldn't recognize the text you attempted to quote as my own.

We heard you. And we listened. Then we made a great coffee … greater.
As manager of Starbucks Packaged Coffee business, I try to make sure every one of you, our customers, has a Starbucks® coffee you love to brew at home every day. When we removed Yukon Blend® from our menu last year, you told us we took away one of your favorites. Well, we are making it up to you. I am excited to share that Yukon Blend® is coming back and you should see it at your local Starbucks in early September. I am even more excited to let you know this coffee is now 100% certified organic and still 100% delicious.
Starbucks lore tells the tale of Yukon Blend® as a coffee created for one of our original customers – the captain of a fishing boat. He asked us to make a coffee blend for his crew that could stand up to the frigid mornings and long days fishing in the cold waters where the Yukon River feeds into the Bering Sea. We created Yukon Blend®: a hearty, bold, well-rounded coffee that can withstand any adventure the day might throw at you … even icy waves over the bow.
(Re)introducing Starbucks Organic Yukon Blend®. A legendary coffee as old as Starbucks itself.
Enjoy. And be ready for your day.

STAVANGER, Norway - Marie-Andrée Lessard of Ville LaSalle, Que., and Annie Martin of Sherbrooke, Que., earned two wins in qualifying on Tuesday to advance to the main draw at the seventh stop on the FIVB beach volleyball circuit.
The competition is also the second Grand Slam event with prize mone nearly doubling to $300,000 for both the men and women.
Lessard and Martin, the third-seeds in qualifying, defeated Margo Wiltens and Merel Mooren of the Netherlands 21-17, 18-21, 15-13 to advance. The Canadians opened the day with a 21-19, 21-15 victory over Elisa Cella and Valeria Rosso of Italy.
The Canadians were trailing 8-10 in the third set against the Dutch.
"Marie-Andrée made some great serves that helped us win the third,'' said Martin. ''We stayed patient and determined throughout that set even though they led most of the way. We want to keep serving hard and play aggressively throughout the tournament.''
The Canadians were one of eight teams to qualify for the 32-team main draw which starts Wednesday. The 32- squad are now split into eight pools of four for a round robin tournament. Martin and Lessard are seeded 22nd and are in a pool with number-six Chen Xue and Xi Zhang of China, number 11 Doris Schwaiger and Stefanie Schwaiger of Austria and number-27 Gioria Daniela and Giulia Momoli of Italy.
The top-team in each pool gains a berth in round of 16 while second and third place play an extra playoff round to determine the other eight teams for the round of 16.
Men's competition gets underway Wednesday. Christopher Redmann and Richard Van Huizen of Toronto are scheduled to compete in qualifying.

Cluny Cement Tile Fireplace Surround
Cluny Cement Tile Fireplace SurroundCement tiles are great way to add color and pattern to a fireplace surround. The hearth easily becomes the center of attention for the room with cement tiles.
Cement tiles are most easily adapted to new fireplace installations since you can adjust the width or height marginally to avoid cuts and maintain the pattern. Cement tiles work well for retro-fits on existing installations, too. But, make a detailed layout plan for the tiles and expect to do some cutting.
Our Classic Cluny Cement Tile comes in three 'standard' colorways:
The Classic Cluny - A cement tile in this design idea is stocked in small quantities for quick shipping on residential-size orders. This pattern can be customized with any color in our Classic Solid Color cement tile line and "strike-off samples" can be produced in a few weeks for approval or before final production. Avente offers Cement Tile Design Services, if required including virtual designs of color placement on a specific pattern.

By K.L. MCIFFUtah State Representative
Great news for rural Utah. If the Senate and Governor follow the House lead, the stream of revenue will be returned to rural counties after being upset by the creation of the Escalante Grand Staircase National Monument and the subsequent exchange of federal and state lands.
House Bill 134, sponsored by Monroe native John Mathis, received near unanimous support. I was pleased to co-sponsor, lobby, and speak in support of this bill.
Emery, Sevier, Duchesne, and Carbon will receive direct royalty payments on minerals extracted from the exchanged lands, and other counties, most notably Kane and Garfield, will be compensated for loss of federal payments in lieu of taxes on lands transferred to the state.
This is truly a "win-win." The direct benefit extends, in varying amounts, to some 27 counties and indirectly to all. Moreover, the payments will not travel to Washington and come back with strings attached, but will be made directly to the counties and be available for general county purposes.
The House passed a "trigger" bill governing abortion which will take effect if and when Roe v. Wade is modified. In the meantime we avoid spending significant sums, estimated between $3-6 million, funding both sides of a fight that we unsuccessfully pursued in the early 1990s and which currently appears unwinable.
Utah's position on this issue has been clear and consistent. There is strong sentiment to protect the unborn and to impose restraints on decisions to terminate life. Utah must remain vigilant in picking the right time and means to advance its position. A failed fight increases the level of entrenchment.
United States Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts is committed to a more unified Court. Hopefully the time will come when the Court will come together in finding a greater role for state law in dealing with what is easily the most divisive issue in America during the last nearly 40 years.

Brookfield Academy
The SMART Team project, coordinated through the Milwaukee School of Engineering, allows high school students an opportunity to learn how the atomic structure of a protein is determined by X-ray crystallography and NMR techniques. Students use the visualization software JMOL to construct a three-dimensional model of a protein. After two months of qualifying events, teams are placed with a researcher from an area university, and spend several months becoming acquainted with the mentor's research topic and constructing a protein model based on this work. Their project culminates in a formal poster and an oral presentation to demonstrate an understanding of the research. The academy's team members are Chi Aguwa, Moid Ali, Neil Chand, Anshul Dhingra, Griffin Gill, Satvir Kalsi, Zach King, Sangwoo Park and Simar Puri.
Brookfield Elementary
The fourth-grade students made 100 fleece blankets to donate to Hebron House of Waukesha.

Skip to comments.U.S. to Expand Role in Africa
Posted on 01/29/2013 6:44:52 AM PST by Pan_Yan
Military Pact With Niger Brings American Forces Closer to Conflict in Mali.
The U.S. signed an agreement Monday with the West African country of Niger that clears the way for a stepped-up American military presence on the edges of the conflict in neighboring Mali.
The U.S. and France are moving to create an intelligence hub in Niger that could include a base, near Mali's border, for American drones that could monitor al Qaeda-linked militants in Mali's vast desert north, U.S. officials said.
The moves show the extent to which the U.S. and France are girding for what could be an open-ended campaign against the militants in North and West Africa.
U.S. and French officials said they see Niger as a logical hub for intelligence-collection operations nearby in Mali, where France has deployed warplanes and ground troops to drive Islamist militants from cities and towns they have held for months. War planners say small air strips in Niger could be used as launching pads for spy missions and strikes.
The Pentagon has small numbers of personnel and equipment scattered across Africa. The largest concentration is at Camp Lemonnier, a French-U.S. base in Djibouti, used to launch drone strikes in Yemen. The base is the headquarters for a task force of 2,000 Americans.
In addition to the U.S. personnel now in Niger, about 100 were sent to the region last year to help in the hunt for the Lord's Resistance Army, a rebel militia in central Africa. Africom is based in Germany, and has personnel on the continent at regional African organizations, such as the African Union.
(Excerpt) Read more at online.wsj.com ...
I'm not sure how many other African countries we are actively militarily involved in. That's what I came up with off the top of my head.
We have a Kenyan I'd like to deploy back to Africa.
Your tax dollars at work. Meanwhile the financiers and motivators of the violent Islamic fundamentalist wave are the Wahhabi in Saudi Arabia. They operate freely and openly. They tolerate the decadent royals in return for oil money. Unless the West is prepared to deal with the source, it is wasting men and treasure in Africa.
talking heads will voice ant-colonialism, but it's enslavement, and negros in America haven't a clue
This is a GREAT idea!
Moving the seat of our central socialist government to an impoverished African nation would befit the economies of the Dark Continent.
After all the socialist government apparatus has been relocated, perhaps we could then start over here and rebuild our tattered nation.
Barack the II could truly be in his element.
Africa is a hot mess. I hope the Army docs have red up on e-bola.
Africa is the only place worse than the mideast.
There is no reason for the US troops to be in Africa.
This isn't going to work out well, either, with 0scumbag in the White Hut/Crib.
Colonialism: It is only a bad word for liberals when anyone but Obama is doing it....
Mali has one of the largest mostly unexplored sedimentary basins in the world.
Which side is the administration going to support?
In the early 80s, I spent a lot of time traveling around Africa. I spent a couple of months in Djibouti. At the time, there was no permanent US military presence there. Once a US destroyer put in to take on water at the big port there and once an ASW plane put down there for an RON. There was not even a Military Attaché there. Djibouti was run by the French military; it's the main Foreign Legion base for desert training. There were just a few waterfront bars for the French military, and a bar at the Sheraton for civilians. I can't imagine that there is much for our troops now at Camp Lemmonier to do when off duty. Once you leave the city, it looks like the dark side of the moon.
Cloward-Piven, phase II: driving the last nails.
I don't know anying about military operations but what are the ROE there? or is this a stupid question?
PS From the `You can't make this stuff up' dept.: Literally sending our troops to Timbuktu.
Yeah, leave the mid east and go get involved in Africa.
That's the ticket.
What could go wrong there?
AFRICOM, Africa Command is based out of Florida. They were in the news a few weeks ago.
It's ok to put US troops at risk in Africa since the US has absolutely no interests there.
That's interesting, when I was with DIA, they were out of Stuttgart, Germany.
CENTCOM is out of McDill (Tampa, FL)....AFRICOM is out of Stuttgart, Germany....forward elements in Task Force HOA are in Camp Lemmonier, Djibouti IIRC. 2008-09 info though....no damn telling what Obummer has done.
I used to travel a lot for business in the 70s & 80s, but that's one continent I've never visited. I can't even imagine.
Indeed not one word from the bloody whining liberals.
There isnt one square inch of that landmass that is worth even talking to. The lower 1/4th, 40 years ago, had potential, but now you can forget the whole place.
Correct, Africa was split between two commands and one was CENTCOM.
Mission creep. He gives away the ME and then wants to spend our blood and treasure in Africa?
The Chinese at least get paid.
There are some really great places in Africa - or at least there were. Top of my list is Rhodesia. I was there after they got independence, and we see how well Zimbabwe is doing. South Africa was great, as well. Today, not so much. All in all, it was a great adventure and I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
One of m-y former employees' husband was from S. Africa; his family is still there, but he came to US and got married. They were just back on family visit, and said it was still nice. I thought it had turned into a racial hellhole. They say not so where his family lives.
I passed through Jo'burg and Pretoria a few times. There are some really nice parts to both cities. From the air, the plethora o' swimming pools in Jo'burg was astounding.
This is a racist article! They should be ashamed using the "N-word" like that!
Jo'burg is where the heavily-fortified 500ac family estate it.
Nice work, if you can get it....
Niger becoming our new drone base amid a seething mass of al Qaeda forces across Africa is interesting given that we were assured so many years ago by former Ambassador to Gabon Joe Wilson that Niger was too secure to interest anyone, particularly Iraq or other yellowcake uranium-seeking folks.

Comments: Very nice handle for the money. I used it on a Shimano Curado E. I can't get the nut cover to sit flush with the handle with the stock Curado nut. I had to buy a metric nut that didn't stick out as for as the stock Curado nut. This handle is also a bit longer than a Stock Curado E handle, which I like.

I have been intrigued by true crime stories since I read "In Cold Blood" as a teenager. My crime library now stuffs two 8-foot bookcases. The saying that "truth is stranger than fiction" has proven to be factual. The vagaries of human nature defy even the most talented mystery fiction writer. Within the past few years, I've embarked on a quest to find as many famous crime locations and graves as I can, sometimes building entire vacations around them. I now have eight large photo albums filled with crime-related sites from coast to coast. My friends and family think I'm a little nutty, and maybe I am. But, for someone like me, so harmless that I capture moths that fly in the house and set them free outside, the notion that there are human beings who can plot to kill innocent people without remorse is endlessly fascinating. I enjoy contributing to Findagrave and will continue to do so, as long as there are crimes to explore. With the way the world is, I doubt I'll ever run low of material. ** ALERT!! ** I have just had a book published that will be released on 10/1/2013! It's called, "The Crime Buff's Guide To Outlaw Pennsylvania." I've written it in conjunction with best-selling true crime author, Ron Franscell. It's available now for pre-order on Amazon, B&N, and most other book-selling websites.

Yeah I thought Scott Peterson just killed his wife? I am more talking about the serial killers like Gacy Dahmer Barkowitz.
Or the seriel Killer Leatherface but his crimes were not as numerous so much as how he used womans skin as masks and other people.
do you think leather face Geins was raped by his mom or she allowed a man to rape him?
chilling to talk about too
