Reid's Shameless Remarks
Yesterday on the Senate floor, Democratic Senator Harry Reid took the doom-and-gloom sequester scare tactics to a new low. While Americans were mourning the loss of, now, eight Marines killed in a training exercise in Nevada, Harry Reid
took to the floor
of the Senate to imply that accidents such as this would happen as a result of sequestration budget cuts. Since yesterday's remarks, Senator Reid's office has started to pedal backwards saying, "In the wake of the Hawthorne tragedy, Senator Reid's thoughts are with the Marines who were killed or injured and their loved ones. The idea that Senator Reid thinks the Hawthorne tragedy has anything to do with the sequester is absurd and unsubstantiated." Harry Reid has no conscious but he set a new low by politicizing this issue. This is politics, pure and simple, even
had to report Marine leadership's belief that this was just political posturing. What's worse, President Obama won't mention anything about this because he's the leader of this demagoguery.
Leading from Behind
Can you believe that Barack Obama has been in office for more than four years and he is just now taking his first trip as president to Israel, our closest ally? Nevertheless, Obama met with Israeli President Shimon Peres earlier today where they reaffirmed the point that the greatest danger is a nuclear Iran. However many people remain skeptical that the Obama administration is truly sincere in saying that all options are on the table when it comes to preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon … something that Iran is rapidly advancing towards, despite sanctions. President Peres also stated the danger of Hezbollah supporting the Assad regime in Syria. This leads to the other top story of the day, which is the alleged chemical weapons attacks in Syria. While it is unclear at this point which side is responsible for the attacks and whether chemical weapons were in fact used, what's clear is that there is an explosive situation in Syria which will req uire the president to make some tough decisions. Let's remember that Obama himself said that the use of chemical weapons in Syria was a "
red line
." So at what point does the administration make a decision on how to address the situation in Syria, or will this just become another situation where America is leading from behind? For more on this, click
Budget Battles
Lawmakers in Washington are eager to get out of town for their Easter vacation, but not before tackling budget issues. Today the Senate will be working on extending funding for our government to get us through the rest of the fiscal year (September 30th). I've already pointed out some of the more egregious spending included in the continuing resolution, including money to build robot squirrels and to promote caviar. Once the Senate finishes work on the continuing resolution, they are expected to then move on to the budget. It's been 1421 since the Senate passed a budget resolution, but I guess you could say better late than never? The Senate Democrat budget proposal, proposed by Democrat Patty Murray, has caught a lot of flack from Republicans. Rightly so. Meanwhile, where is the president's leadership in all these budget talks? Well, he was too busy filling out his NCAA tournament brackets to have time to work on his budget. He's delayed submitting his budget until two months after the deadline, April 8th. For more on the budget trickery, check out

Skip to comments.Crystal Amulet Poses Question On Early Christianity (Denmark - 100AD)
Posted on 03/09/2007 11:37:30 AM PST by blam
9 March 2007
Crystal amulet poses question on early Christianity
An overlooked crystal amulet in the National Museum suggests new understandings about Christianity's origins in Denmark
King Harold Bluetooth brought Christianity to Denmark roughly 1100 years ago. At least that's what he declared on the Jelling Stone located in Jutland:
'King Haraldr ordered this monument made in memory of Gormr, his father, and in memory of Thyrvé, his mother; that Haraldr who won for himself all of Denmark and Norway and made the Danes Christian.'
A tiny crystal amulet in the National Museum's archives suggests something quite different though, that maybe Christianity arrived in Denmark six centuries earlier than previously believed.
Crystal ball
In 1820, a farmer found the crystal amulet in the grave of a noblewoman on the island of Funen. Together with coins and other items in the grave, archaeologists were able to date the grave to about 300 AD.
For nearly two hundred years, the amulet and other articles had been on display in the National Museum.
As part of major project to reorganise the museum's collection, however, Peter Pentz, a curator and archaeologist at the National Museum, examined the 3cm sphere of crystal and noticed that it was unlike anything found in Denmark.
Upon closer inspection, he noticed what seemed to be an upside arrow. Drawing upon his knowledge of early Christian imagery, Pentz began to wonder: could this arrow in actuality be an anchor? A sign used by early Christians?
Pentz discovered another etching on the amulet - the word ABLATHANALBA. Such a word was believed to have mystical powers in early Christian ceremonies, suggesting that its owner had a connection to early Christian beliefs.
Pentz explained that his past studies in Rome's catacombs enabled him to see the amulet in a different light.
'I'm familiar with early Christian imagery,' Pentz told Politiken newspaper. 'As I studied the ball, I recognised the connection.'
First Christian Dane
The crystal amulet says important things about the woman buried in the 4th century, at a time when Denmark was still largely populated by pagans who worshipped Thor.
But was she a Christian?
Pentz thinks it's possible. She was most likely not the typical porridge eating woman who slaved every day to carry water from the nearby well. Instead, she was of a higher class and probably wore woollen textiles dyed in strong colours.
'She could have come from south eastern Europe and been married into an aristocratic Danish family,' said Pentz.
He admits that his hypothesis takes him out on a limb. The tiny crystal ball could have changed hands many times. And maybe it belonged to somebody else and was merely placed in her grave to help her on her journey in the after world.
New interpretations
Factors nevertheless suggested the woman subscribed to an early Christian worldview with all the mysticism and talismans that included.
The residents of Funen, for example, had ties to the Black Sea and Balkans where many people converted to Christianity early on. As far back as 100AD, people in that region were becoming Christianised. By the 4th century, many Christians populated the area.
Travelling from Denmark to the region was a long journey at the time, but the residents of Funen were more adventurous than residents of Zealand.
So the chance exists that some form of trade existed between the two regions. And that a woman prescribing to an early Christian faith could have come to Denmark long before Harold Bluetooth took credit for converting the Danes to Christianity.
GGG Ping?
Denmark-Ahead of it's time.
I'm sorry, I must have dropped it there...
Another possible explanation is trade goods. There were well established trade routes between Scandinavia and the rest of Europe quite early on. Even without direct trade, goods passed from hand to hand to hand and wound up in odd corners.
It makes just as much sense for a well-born woman to receive a play-pretty from the traders as it does that she was a believer . . .
I thought I could get the connection... but I use verizon and its disabled.
Giggling hysterically....
Me thinks its great, but a little over excited combination of apples and oranges.
One is a set of historical events which marked the growth and advance of Christianity in Denmark, which, in myths, might give Harold Bluetooth more credit that he deserves. But I think the history would credit the era of Harold as marking the beginning of that large-scale religious conversion process, with or without the myths related to it.
While the artifact represents a single individual, who lived among an unknown group of individuals, of an unknown number and with unknown actual religious sentiments. I don't think that one artifact can alter the history of the general introduction of Christianity to Denmark.
Those Vikings, they got around:

cool thanks
Please FREEPMAIL me if you want on or off the
"Gods, Graves, Glyphs" PING list or GGG weekly digest
-- Archaeology/Anthropology/Ancient Cultures/Artifacts/Antiquities, etc.
Gods, Graves, Glyphs (alpha order)
I can't find anything about crystal amulets in the the gospels of the new testament, I must be missing some pages....
The Swedes are Buddhists? I never knew that.
This could be a viking traders wife. She could have come from the Mediterranean, Britian, someplace like that.
No problem.
One of many benefits of spending most of my junior high/high school years in Israel.
I thought it was Hardrada - Hard Counsel. But maybe that's my Anglo-Saxon talking.
That was basically my reaction to it as well. While the possibility of Christians arriving early in Denmark is interesting and possibly of historic significance, that doesn't automatically displace the significance of later events, at least not without additional information to demonstrate historical continuity between this find and later Danish Christianity. There were cases of Christianity appearing early in a region but not really taking root among the general populace until later. I think maybe the author of the article exaggerated the implications of the find for the sake of making the lead sound more exciting, which seems to happen a lot with archaeology articles: everyone wants to announce the discovery of the "first" something or other.
Why would this be a stretch to believe? Christianity was moving along with the Romans as they expanded their empire. St. Patrick was a Roman who had been taken in slavery by Irish raiders, then later became a priest to go back and convert the Irish. If Catholicism was in the British Isles by the 4th century, who's to say it hadn't made it's way to Denmark also? Perhaps a Catholic priest had been taken to Denmark as a prisoner by the 'Vikings' of the era, and began spreading the Faith. It's not far-fetched to consider it.
Faulty mememor and folk etymology strikes me again. Yes OE and ON are very similar.
Harald III Sigurdsson (1015 September 25, 1066), later surnamed Harald Hardråde (Old Norse: Haraldr harðráði, roughly translated as "Harald stern council" or "hard ruler")
Since I'm at it might as well correct something else, not Trygrvvson, but Harold Sigurdsson!
An even more likely explanation is that this was not of Christian origin, but Jewish. The diaspora spread far and wide, was more numerous at the time, and certainly had a longer time to get there.
Here, is a kabbalistic reference to the same time of item:
It contains the last name of Jessica Alba whether read forward or backwards. And Jessica Alba has mystical powers over me ...
Could very well be. I don't know when the Ashkenazim first formed as a group in northern Europe, but they could have been the Jews who fled the Middle East at the end of the first century AD.
My Verizon supports Bluetooth. "Thyrvé" what a beautiful name.
You don't have "The Book of New Age Bull S***?"
She may have been a Christian or not. It bears no relfection on King Harald's achievements.
The Christian Anglo-Seaxons were very clear in their references to heathen Vikings.
But the Danes as a whole were not made Christians until King Harald imposed it on all of Denmark.
There were probably individual Christians and Christian communities living in pagan territory long before Christianiy became an official religion.
Look at how long it took before Constantine made it the official religion in the Empire.
Global Warming! Global Warming! < runs around doing the Highland fling and collapses >
Tha beagan Ghaidlig agam . . . in other words there's a little Gaelic at me, enough to get me into trouble.
Was that the same book that was on sale in the Danish Mystics and Hemp Smokers book store?
It's also a palindrome if TH is replaced by the letter thorn.
Well, it was a typo in my post, it was not ABLATHANABLA, but ABLANATHANALBA http://www.lib.umich.edu/pap/magic/rb.display.html#no.4 i.e. the Gaelic part was fun, but Bravo Sierra ;-)
"It's warm that it is in Scotland."
Still untrue.
Go here , look at the bottom of the page and click on 'Genetic Markers' then look to the haplogroup column to the right and click on haplogroup N1 for your answer.
That's funny. I can't find any reference to Rosaries or crosses as amulets either. I must be missing the same pages.
Maybe Harold Hardrider rode his wife hard and she commemmorated it in writing since he couldn't read to take offense.
A more likely trade route during the early years of Christianity would be through Viking Russia and then down the rivers to Constantinople.
This route was a popular trading pattern for Nordic people in those days.
Hello friends. Haraldr harðráði in old Icelandic means Harald Hard-buttocks. Yes, you've got that right. harðráði is a perjorative in some texts for a mean ruler and just as today it is in reference to a man's hind quarters.
First remember that in the development of language "l" and "r" are liquid vowels and can replace each other. So change the Greek "l" to an "r" and you are close to abra kedabra.
Also, words of power inscribed like this were often meant so that letters were read in reverse.
That is definitely an anchor in my opinion - I have seen a number of others including one up in Deeside on Pictish Christian carvings on megaliths.
This noble woman was of extraordinary importance to have this.
I neglected to say that there would likely be a deliberate mis-spelling of the word of power so that neophytes and the unwashed could not read it.
My favorite on is Halvdan den Milde Og Matille Øysteinsøn(The Generous & Food Miserly), because it's rather baffling. His father was Øystein "Fretr" Halvdansson (the Fart), a name that is sure to bring glee to any young boy.
I think it's possible she may have been a Goth (Wulfila Bible was a 4th century translation) or possibly a Nun, who'd been collected during a raid.
I should have said you can find the perjorative use of harðráði in the Sagas. Of course, this is a rare double entendre ... the "radt" as parliament is featured in a number of northern European languages...
My bet would be on a woman the Vikings brought back during their raids through Kievan Rus' during the Viking river invasions through what is modern day Russia, Ukraine etc.
I actually took Icelandic for a semester, and my Icelandic dictionary says: "ráða (ræð; réð; ráðinn) v.t. advise; recommend; ráða e-m áð gera e-ð, advise s.o. to do s.t.; with dat. rule, govern." Nothing about bottoms anywhere.
It seems an obvious cognate with the Anglo-Saxon ræd and Middle English rede, all meaning the same thing - counsel or advice. I would think the Icelandic for the hinder parts would be a cognate of the A/S "buttuc" which means what it sounds like.
Nope. Njalsaga.

Virgin Australia wins contract to provide Rio Tinto with air services06/10/2011
Virgin Australia today confirmed that it has won part of Rio Tinto's global contract for air travel services.
One of the largest mining and resources groups in the world, Rio Tinto instigated a formal Request For Proposal (RFP) process in February 2011, engaging airlines around the world to pitch for its air travel business.
It is the first time in Virgin Australia's history that the airline has secured a preferred contractual relationship with Rio Tinto.
Virgin Australia General Manager of Sales Justin Montgomery said: "This is an outstanding achievement for our airline and we look forward to providing Rio Tinto with the best possible service. We are committed to expanding our network to further support Rio Tinto in their air travel program objectives and we will continue to look at opportunities as part of the relationship.
"Over the past year we have achieved significant progress in repositioning Virgin Australia as an airline that caters to all market segments and this has already seen us make significant gains in the government and business market. The Rio Tinto contract is one of our most important business wins yet and demonstrates that we now offer a compelling proposition for large global companies", Mr Montgomery said.
Rio Tinto Global Head of Procurement Scott Singer said: "This agreement with Virgin Australia will help us to provide greater flexibility to our travellers, particularly in highly contested markets like Western Australia where we are experiencing strong growth."

Internal MedicineYale University School of MedicineTitle: "The Role of IL-13 in the Pathogenesis of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension"Term: October 1, 2011 and will end September 30, 2013
Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a lethal disease that is caused by elevated pulmonary vascular resistance. Thus far, the underlying mechanism of PAH has not been clearly understood and there is no cure for PAH. Therefore, a better understanding of the pathogenesis of PAH is desperately needed to improve clinical outcome. Our preliminary studies demonstrated that chronic IL-13 overexpression in murine lungs, led to significant vascular remodeling and features of clinical PAH. We will further explore the mechanism of IL-13-induced pulmonary arterial hypertension in our proposed studies from which we expect to obtain novel insights regarding the pathogenesis of pulmonary hypertension.

Joey BishopActor / Comedian
Born: 3 February 1918
Died: 17 October 2007
Birthplace: The Bronx, New York
Best known as: Comedian member of the Rat Pack
Name at birth: Joseph Abraham Gottlieb
For a time in the early 1960s Joey Bishop was one of the hottest standup comedians in America. Bishop started as a vaudeville-style entertainer in Philadelphia, and by the 1950s he was doing solo standup. He began opening for Frank Sinatra and eventually became part of Sinatra's so-called Rat Pack, along with Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr. and Peter Lawford. Bishop also became a regular on television: he was a sidekick on Jack Paar's Tonight Show and from 1961-65 he had his own sitcom, The Joey Bishop Show (which co-starred Bill Bixby and Joe Besser of Three Stooges fame). From 1967-69 he hosted his own late-night talk show, also called The Joey Bishop Show, with Regis Philbin as his sidekick. The show went head-to-head with Johnny Carson for two years, until Bishop was succeeded by Dick Cavett. Though he's best known for light comedy, Bishop also had serious roles in the war films The Naked and the Dead (1958) and Delta Force (1986).

The La Sportiva Helios is a versatile trail running shoe designed for a neutral foot motion, ideal for daily training and long distance racing.
The La Sportiva Helios is a low profile and lightweight shoe that will get you from your door out onto the trails. This versatile shoe features a dynamic midsole that adapts to the surface of the ground for optimal cushioning and protection, be it smooth pavement or technical terrain. A gusseted tongue construction in the upper keeps out trail debris and delivers a great fit, while breathable and quick draining mesh keeps your foot cool and dry.
Model Number:
*See the La Sportiva Shoe Size Conversion Chart
Weight: 8.5 oz (size 42.0)
Stack Height: Heel (20mm), Forefoot (15mm)
Available Widths: D=Medium
How It Fits (based on width D)
FriXion AT is a full length lightweight and resilient outsole that is engineered for wear resistance.
Comments: In my opinion this is one of the best trail running shoes for up to 50K distance. I ran one 50-miler in Helios as well but it cushioning might not be adequate for longer distances. I've recently bought 4th pair of Helios and think will continue buying for as long as it is available. Pros: - good cushioning for such light weight shoe - great traction wet conditions and mud - low to the ground, good ground feel Cons: - occasionally a sharp rock or root may poke through if you step on it with unprotected foam part of the outsole. This hasn't been a really huge problem, but I probably wouldn't recommend Helios for rocky trails. Sizing: Buy 1/2 to 1 size up compared to most other running shoes. For example most of my running shoes are 11 or 11.5 and by Helios in size 12 (45.5).
From: Stanslav. February 7th 2015
Comments: Recently decided to try Helios based on talking to a La Sportiva representative at a race. Have been running in Cascadia 7s and 8s. Helios fit is great, very light, very comfortable and lots of breathability. Easy to lace up and get a good comfortable fit. My feet seem to have adjusted easily to the new shoe which is not always the case for me. These seem to have a much stickier grip than the Cascadia and seem to shed rocks nicely. So far I am really liking them and think they will service me well in some long upcoming races.
From: Patrick, Round Rock, Texas
Comments: Actually, there is a 2 mm LaSpEVA plate in the Helios. Maybe not a rock plate per se, but I find it easily as effective than the Pro Sense Film in the Salomons (Sense Ultra). Both are good solutions.
From: Anonymous
Comments: the Helios has been great for me so far. It has retained everything I liked about the vertical K, and fixed everything I did not like. The Helios has adequate rock protection to run fast down rocky trails (Vert K does not) and is has a normal, nicely fitting upper (Vert K has a weird socklike thing that makes it very hard to get at the laces). All this for only an ounce more weight. Right now the Helios is my main go to trail shoe.
From: Alex, Boston, MA
Comments: Orange/grey colors are a shade darker than they appear on the computer, and the outsole is grey, not white. Very light. Minimal tongue...if you like tight laces, they may dig into the top of your foot. A bit of curved heel around the backside of the ball of your heel. I'd list the arch support at minimal. The Helios certainly have more cushioning and support than other minimal shoes (NB MT110), but obviously not as much as a Montrail Mountain Masochist I or II or a Salomon XA Pro 3D Ultra II. Big toe box, but minimal lateral support for the sides of your feet...you'll be gripping to hold on when running off-camber trails. The rock plate is minimal (I am skeptical there is one). Re: sizing...I believe RW's shoefitr system may suggest sizes in the Helios that are a half size too big. If you're familiar with the Montrail Mountain Masochist II, order only a 1/2 (US) size larger in the Helios. You'll have plenty of toe room.
From: Jimmy, McGillicuddy, St. Louis, MO
Editor's Note: The La Sportiva Helios midsole does not contain a rock plate.
Comments: This is my second pair of La Sportiva's that I have tried out. The first was the Vertical K a few months back that I had tested out for a few weeks, capping off testing with a 50k. Even though the Helios has a smaller stack height overall, I find these to provide more cushioning than the Vertical K's. Upon completion of the 50k in the Vertical K's, my feet felt beat-up. Not the case with the Helios. For someone that likes ground feel with a little bit of cushioning, these have done the job thus far. A second positive of the Helios is the lack of movement that you get with your foot inside of the shoe. I purchased a size larger in both models and found that the upper material of the Helios prevents your foot from sliding around as it did in the Vertical K's, or similar movement found in the NB 1010's. I also think the sturdier upper material will prevent those random punctures that can happen on the trail from twigs, resulting in a more durable shoe. A final positive is the inclusion of the "rock plate". I haven't found flexibility to be an issue compared to the Vertical K, just that you feel even more protected on the trail. I had experienced a sharp rock or two on occasion with the Vertical K's and this does not seem to be an issue thus far in the Helios.

Financial Shiteroo Continues
March 24 2009 09:48AM
Once upon a time some turd burglar over at OilersNation.com suggested that it was very possible this economic downturn could lead to non-screwed teams being put up on the block for sale. Not because they suck, but because the owners would tire of funding their burn in a downturn. Well Nation, it's starting to happen.
"The problem is that few people are in a position to spend the money necessary to buy and operate an NHL franchise. The bigger problem is that in tough times the amount of people able to do this shrinks even further as fortunes of the rich contract. The real problem is the rich people who are still in a position to take over a troubled financial team during a crisis are probably unwilling to do so—as an NHL team isn't usually a profitable investment when you compare it to other things you can do with $200 million in your chequing account."
Heretofore, the NHL teams that have been rumored to be on the block for sale have been of the "screwed" variety. It should be no surprise that the Coyotes are losing money and are for sale. Look at them down there in a warm climate where everyone should in theory want to flock, having been forced to resort to ticket discount packages and enticing obese Americanos to los arena por los nachos unlimitato.
Still, when your owner is declaring less of a salary from his primary business enterprise than many of his players collect in a year, you can see how he may tire of footing the bill for a losing team that's shedding fans so fast you would think it is dating Chris Brown. We still maintain that the real reason we are all hearing so much about the Coyotes isn't because the team is losing way more money than usual (though by all accounts it is) but rather because ol' Uncle Jerry has had enough.
And now it seems Jerry has company in Montreal, where owner George Gillett is hiring people to look at a bunch of his assets to see if there are any investments that he can shed quickly or in a profitable manner. This is hardly declaring "I am screwed" nor is he suggesting "Les Canadiens sont hooped" but it is definitely a declaration that an NHL team isn't a sterling investment right about now.
"On Monday, a report published in La Presse indicated that Gillett has engaged four financial-analysis firms in Canada, the United States and Europe to review his entire portfolio. It includes the Canadiens, a 50-per-cent stake in England's Liverpool soccer club, the concert-promoting Gillett Entertainment Group, a NASCAR team, ski resorts, golf courses, agriculture companies and more." "Majority owner George N. Gillett Jr., the Vail, Colo., resident who has more irons in the fire than Ben Cartwright, bought 80.1 per cent of the club and its Bell (then Molson) Centre arena in a January 2001 deal estimated to be worth $275 million Canadian. Less than four months after he absolutely, even aggressively, denied any interest in selling the Canadiens, the hugely diversified Gillett might dispose of the club and its Bell Centre home should a buyer park enough zeroes in front of a decimal point."
Now this hardly means that Habs fans need to start researching a QMJHL team with which to fall in love. It is more than likely that this hullaballoo is nothing more than Gillett looking at the Dow Jones index and is thinking "I have bought a lot of really crazy shit over the years. I wonder if I can move that underwater lacrosse team I bought in Dubai last year?" Then he hires a bunch of goons to pour over his books and value his assets in this current economic climate. THEN, some Montreal reporter gets wind of it and writes a story insinuating there is a gigantic for sale sign on the Centre Molson.
Even if Gillett does decide to sell the team, the economy is still vibrant enough to transact this deal. Super rich people, while substantially poorer, are still rich. That's one of the nice things about being a multi-billionaire. You can lose a few Bs here and there and still have enough dough kicking around to say "Yeah, you know the Canadiens would look good parked in my garage next to my Lambo."
Oh Jim
Jim Ballsillie is still rich as all hell, wants an NHL team in the worst way and continues to act the highlarious fool, ensuring that if he buys a team it will be simple force of economic will. "The most recent rumour (of the Habs being for sale) had come a few weeks earlier. It was then that Waterloo, Ont.-based billionaire Jim Balsillie, co-CEO of BlackBerry parent Research in Motion, said the Canadiens were on the market. A long-time unfulfilled NHL franchise suitor, Balsillie denied making the statement, apologized to Gillett for the uproar and was spanked by the NHL for it. If he has any interest now, he'll express it invisibly."
Oh Jim. Really?
*shakes head in awe of a guy who is so rich, yet so not ready to play in the NHL sandbox where they take their secrets to the grave*
You founded RIM, Ballsillie. You know better than to talk about potential acquisitions before they are publicly for sale! Why would you continue to piss the NHL and it's owners off at every turn? We are on the precipice of an economic collapse that they will be talking about in 100 years! Sit back with your gigantic cheque book at the ready and watch people line up to sell you their squadrons. We bet we have kept more secrets than you have, Jimbo, and that ain't only because Brownlee and Gregor don't ever let us know any of the good stuff. Loose lips sink ships and in this new era snitches get stitches.
Thank heavens
Thank heavens that Grandma still needs her heart medicine and that ol Kay-Z is still ballin' out of control. Imagine how much suck and what a shock to the system it would be right now if there was a for sale sign in front of that gigantic mansion in Valleyview and several jewel encrusted Rexall pendants showed up in local pawn shops. Luckily that is not the case, or if it is the case we haven't had to hear a word about it. But we bet it isn't the case, cause Kay-Z is ballin' out of control. Yes, that is our research into the subject. In addition to that half-assed research attempt, we will wildly pledge our undying loyalty to our owner and will be stopping by Rexall later today to buy something for our crab infestation. Not because we want to lose our Rexall Reminder of the girl we tangled with after the Nation party, but because we want to do our part to make sure that Kay-Z can continue to comfortably overpay Oilers who don't deserve a lick of their inflated salaries.
Comment disclaimer - Deepoil and deepoil imitators take note:
On this day where we celebrate the fact that the Mighty Oil still have money to burn on Goats and Donair Eating Phenomenons we humbly ask you show some respect and not tell us your crazy theories about how Katz is actually Pocklington after considerable maxio-facial surgery and that he is plotting a military coup within the City limits. If you could save it for another article on another day it would be appreciated. Plus, you have beaten this issue so close to death it should be dating Chris Brown.
March 24 2009, 09:51AM
Who saw this coming!?!? Wannnnye?
March 24 2009, 09:57AM
Two more great quotes on Gillet from the article I referenced above:
1. "By Gillett's own estimate, the Canadiens were roughly his 150th acquisition, the purchase coming more than a half-century after he'd worked his first job in 1948 – picking weeds in a Racine, Wis., onion patch for his great-uncle Wally."
2. (describing his duties with the Habs)"Mostly I'm the groom who puts the oats in the pails for the horses, keeps them fresh and lively, rubs them down after we've come in from a ride"

This is why when stats nerds talk about 'HORK' being "only a $5.5 mil cap hit" have cranial rectal issues.
Some dude (albeit a rich dude) is going to write cheques next year for Shawn FLIPPIN' Horcoff totalling seven million bucks.
How long you think said rich dude is going to think the highbrow(s) that decided on that ticket are, in fact, good at their jobs? That there is REAL scratch we're talking about kiddies.

Dude, you know you're just setting us up for Deep Oil's butt lust for scandal.

March 24 2009, 10:38AM
Good news is I hget the opportunity to buy another set of Play-Off tickets tomorrow...
It's a wild world now, if I managed to lose half of my investments being an uneducated half wit, imagine how badly George Gilette is hammering his financial advisors now? Rumours have it that Celine & Rene Angeil or Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Laliberte will buy the team for some reason.
March 24 2009, 10:39AM
@ baggedmilk:
hahaha agreed. In the spirit of the article I even put in a disclaimer. Today is a day to celebrate our non broke owner and I won't have anyone bringing me down from my drug induced high. As a result I will delete any super insane stuff from deepoil and imitation deepoils. If they keep er clean though fine.

Gillette has been bankrupt twice as reported here many months ago..... burn baby burn.... the pyramid scheme is falling like a house of cards..... im lovin it - can you imagine if Rexall had 9000 season tickets and no playoff cash flow - no wonder Katz is asking for a clothing discount in these new economic times
note gillette bought his soceer team with hicks on total credit - very interesting how you can put down $100mm for the oil - borrow the other $100mm and from east coast bankers and then hope the new building can float with personal seat license money and control the $1b project for free..... with Comrade Mandel holding the info that is never to be leaked to developers.....

The Swine Flu epidemic now has pandemic status and there's an increasing level of fear mongering going on. For anyone applying a little critical thinking to all this hype, the facts simply don't add up! Widespread testing of those sickened is not happening to distinguish cases of swine flu from regular seasonal flu. It is widely known that some authorities are counting all cases of flu this year as swine flu. Some countries such as Great Britain are simply basing their swine flu numbers on an online questionnaire, when it takes laboratory testing to be sure! We are led to believe that young people are especially vulnerable, but in fact it is overwhelmingly those with already compromised immune systems that are dying from the swine flu. Rather than waiting anxiously for the availability the swine flu vaccine, rushed into production with next to no testing, and already generating major concerns about known toxic ingredients, it seems to me that we would do a lot better to work on boosting our immunity so we protect ourselves against all infectious agents that threaten our health. Here's what you can do:
Optimize your vitamin D levels. Vitamin D deficiency is the likely cause of seasonal flu viruses. Getting enough will help you fight infections of all kinds.Vitamin D is actually a hormone which is proving to be a player in multiple body functions. Get your levels tested by a reliable lab such as Lab Corp. They should be between 50-70 ng/ml. Vitamin D is widely available as inexpensive tablets. Some Anchorage clinics are offering adults a booster shot of 50,000 IU prior to daily maintenance. Doses of 50,000 IU a day for three days can also be used to treat acute infections.
Eat a wholesome diet with greens, omega 3s and vitamins. Increase your antioxidants by eating cabbage, carrots, cucumber, white onion, green apples , grapefruits, cantaloupe, and berries of all kinds – the deeper colored the better. Eat plenty of dark, leafy green vegetables and nuts such as almonds for their Vitamin E content. Blending greens with fruits in a heavy duty blender means you get more and will feel an energy boost immediately! Eat garlic regularly – it's good against infectious agents of all kinds.
Include probiotics in your diet daily. Live fermented foods like yogurt and kefir can also aid immunity, by populating your digestive tract with friendly bacteria, so that the dangerous ones that also live there don't get the upper hand and cause disease. Look for Lactobacillus acidophilus or a combination of L acidophilus and Bifidobacterium in the ingredient list, and use fresh fruit as flavoring, rather than pre-flavored products which often have a high sugar content.
Eliminate sugar and processed foods from your diet. Sugar consumption has an immediate, debilitating effect on your immune system. Beware the hidden sugar in ketchup and other processed foods.
Get plenty of good quality sleep (7 – 9 hrs each night). This is when your immune system rebuilds itself. It's a good hedge against cancer too.
Deal with stress effectively. Stress robs your body of the reserves it needs to fight infection.
Exercise regularly. Your immune system needs good circulation to perform well.
Take a high quality animal-based omega 3 oil like Krill Oil or Cod Liver Oil (flavored now available)
Wash your hands well and often. Prefer a pure, chemical-free soap to antibacterial products. Avoid touching your face if at all possible. Cough into your elbow or a tissue, and stay clear of coughing and sneezing colleagues and friends.

Forewarned is forearmed as they say, and we need to stay informed on this issue for our own health protection.

Skip to comments.Where Do Conservatives Go Now? Part 2 (Dont Get Suckered into Supporting the Republican Party)
Posted on 04/20/2012 8:09:50 AM PDT by xzins
Fourth, Remember the Difference Between Republicans and Conservatives.
Conservatives look at the endorsements Mitt Romney has garnered from such establishment figures as former President George H.W. Bush and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, and most importantly from business-as-usual Washington insiders, such as lobbyist Ed Gillespie, and they see advocates of positions they often opposed, not friends of the transformational agenda that won the Tea Party wave election of 2010.
Surveying Romneys record and agenda, and most importantly the people he is likely to bring to Washington to implement his agenda, movement conservatives see little likelihood a Romney administration will differ from a Bush administration, or a McCain administration, or a Dole or Ford administration.
This is why conservatives remain so deeply skeptical of Mitt Romneys candidacy for President. They look at his record as Governor of Massachusetts and the policies he espouses and see no commitment to the kind of transformational change the conservative movement has been working for the past 50 years to achieve.
Republican Party insiders still cant come to grips with the reality that the rebellion of the small government constitutional conservatives of the Tea Party is as much a rejection of their stewardship of the government the earmarks and massive spending and debt of the Bush years as it is a rejection of Obamacare and Obamanomics.
Lets be quite clear there is a difference between Republicans and conservatives. The goal of the Republican political party is to elect its candidates to control the levers of government power. Conservatives should not get so swept-up in the Republican Partys campaign for power, that they loose sight of the fact that the goal of the conservative movement is to hold the government to constitutional principles, no matter what political party is in power, and in the process rejuvenate our society and culture.
Fifth, Dont Get Suckered into Supporting the Republican Party.
If the difference between conservatives and Republicans is based in the conservative movements commitment to holding the government to constitutional principles, no matter which Party is in power, then one of the most important things conservatives can do is to support organizations that are committed to that same goal.
This also means declining to support organizations, including the national, state and local Republican Parties if they are not committed to holding the government to constitutional principles.
The folly of conservatives supporting the Republican National Committee, and many state Republican Party committees was made readily apparent during the presidential primary. In state after state the establishment GOP did its best to thwart the will of the grassroots conservative voters by using its power to tip the scales toward Mitt Romney to the disadvantage of the conservative candidates in the race.
In the same vein the Republican National Congressional Committee and the National Republican Senatorial Committee have become virtual incumbent protection rackets appearing to sell influence and access in return for donations to keep incumbent members of Congress in power.
Thanks in part to the ability of the new and alternative media, especially the internet, to empower grassroots activists it is now possible to bypass the establishment Republican Party. There are now dozens of sound organizations committed to constitutional conservative principles that are doing everything from training volunteers in grassroots campaign techniques to recruiting and training conservative candidates to run for Congress and their state legislatures.
Just because an organization has conservative in its name doesnt mean the organization is actually conservative especially if it is headquartered in Washington DC. Too many Washington-based organizations, even ones that began with the intention of fostering conservative government, have become part of the inside-the-Beltway Republican establishment.
Very often the best organizations to support are not the state parties and national committees, but the local groups; County Republican Committees and Tea Party organizations who share our values and are doing the hard work to elect conservative candidates to office up and down the ballot. By supporting these local organizations, which are always struggling to raise money, it is possible to know their leadership, know whether or not they share our values and determine whether they are accountable and effective.
During the Bush Hastert Frist years too many Washington-based policy organizations sold their souls for a few tickets to the White House Christmas party or a seat at the State of the Union Address. They failed in the real test of whether they were effective advocates of conservative policy holding the government to constitutional principles, no matter which Party is in power.
Dont get suckered into supporting the Republican Partys incumbent protection racket. Donate only to small government constitutional conservative organizations and committees dedicated to holding the government to constitutional principles, no matter which Party is in power, and electing small government constitutional conservatives to office. Avoid establishment Republican-oriented organizations and Party committees that dont hew to conservative principles, and work against conservative candidates and blindly support Republican incumbents even when they oppose conservative policies.
Sixth, Its the Primaries, Stupid Support Small Government, Constitutional Conservative Candidates
If 2012 is another big wave election, like 2010, but it sweeps into office the usual big-government, establishment Republicans, then we will have missed the opportunity of a lifetime.
Supporting small government, constitutional conservatives, no matter how far down the ballot they are is crucial to our long-term success, and running for any office, no matter how far down the ballot, is worthy of your efforts.
If constitutional conservatives are to govern America, we must not only elect a President and a Congress, but also city council members, school board members, state legislators, Secretaries of State, Lt. Governors, etc.
Of course, there are many good candidates already running who are with the Tea Party movement. However, the vast majority of positions on the ballot this year do not have small government constitutional conservatives running, and many will have incumbents who have not faced a contest in years.
We who want constitutional, small-government should be running candidates even when it appears they have little or no chance of victory. The mistake of assuming good candidates will emerge from the regular party process does not work most of the time because the establishment Republican Party has no real interest in the kind of transformational change sought by conservatives.
Do you really trust Party leaders like Mitch McConnell and John Boehner to build a Republican majority of small government constitutional conservatives? If we leave it to the national congressional and Party leadership to recruit the candidates we will end-up with a Congress just like them; incumbents such as Bob Bennett and establishment figures such as Charlie Crist, and Trey Grayson.
When making decisions about where to put their financial support, conservatives should remember that if the national Republican committees had their way, such now-stalwart conservative Senators as Rand Paul, Marco Rubio and Mike Lee would never have been elected.
The only time we are guaranteed to lose is when we dont compete. In todays volatile political environment, no establishment candidate is truly safe. The American people want the chance to take out the big-government, establishment politicians; put your money and your hard work directly behind those candidates who are committed to small government, constitutional principles.
So should we support the Constitution Party?
I'll be voting to remove Debbie Stabenow but only because my choices are acceptable though imperfect.
With Romney, I have yet to find one conservative ideal that doesn't need to be sacrificed for him.
I am not advocating Romney; I am advocating doing what is needed to ensure that obama is a one term president. Deal with the real and present danger now, deal with extrapolated threats when they arise.
When making your choice factor this: Which party programs, ideas and actions are closer to Karl Marx or which are closer to the Constitution. Then the choice, although sometimes difficult becomes a bit easier.
I have no reason to engage a debate with Romney supporters because they all think the same:
"Either you vote for Bullsh*t or you're going to get Chicken sh*t."
I say to Romney supporters:
"Eat Sh*t and Die!"
I haven't supported the republican party since 2006.
Only individual candidates.
If you give the RNC money it gets flushed down the RINO sewer.
Anyway, I don't need them to tell me who to support — I can decide all by myself.
I haven't given money to the GOP for longer than that. I give directly to the candidates I want in office
I received a Republican questionnaire in the mail not long ago. The survey was addressed to me, which I found odd because I'm registered as "unenrolled" in Massachusetts.
I started filling out the survey, with such answers as "Tea Party" as my political leaning and yes I would vote for Romney if forced to but not willingly.
But then it occurred to me that the survey came from the BIG GOP and not the real, conservative, local sort of Republicans. The "elites" are the ones who shoved Romney down our throats and have no apparent love for Tea Party conservative thinking. Defeating the GOP-e strikes me as nearly as important as throwing out the Dems.
So the survey was tossed in the trash, uncompleted.
Romney is going to be President. Conservatives are going to have to live with that fact, elect as many conservatives to the Congress, and hold Romney's feet to the fire.
If he is not to be the nominee in 2016, the time to find the challenger is now—not three weeks before the end of the 2016 primary season.
Conservatives should support whoever is willing to go after zer0 on his obvious ineligibility, and go after Republicans for being such complicit cowards. Conservatives will have to run their own candidates.
I know I'm in. The Repubs exist to frustrate conservatives, and I'm ready for a change. While I don't agree with every position of the USCP 100%, it's a whole lot more hospitable to conservatives than the Whigs.
Romney was never meant to defeat Obama and thusly will not. This year gives conservatives an opportunity to field-test another alternative.
The Conservative Cause is clearly served by an Obama re-election rather than a Romney win.
A Right leaning/Conservative Congress can easily remain united behind an Obama re-election....whereas the same Congress will be sliced and diced by the RINOS if Romney is in the White House.
The Powers That Be fully understand this....
I think I would prefer to see Obama facing a republican congress that has the balls to remove him for fraud and solve our current constitutional crisis, rather than vote for Mitt Romney who is the father of the individual health care mandate.
That is what I'm doing too. My congressman is first on list - here id DFW and then a conservative senator.
"I am not advocating Romney; I am advocating doing what is needed to ensure that obama is a one term president"...
Like a laser...this must be the focus for now. The dangerous boy socialist must go!
>> I havent given money to the GOP for longer than that.
You're a faster learner than I, but I figured it out eventually. :-)
Like and many others are saying, we need to institute the "Tea Party" as a political group, dump the GOPe. Period.
I don't want Obama simply defeated in the polls.
I want him prosecuted for what he has done.
Vote him out of office, and that will never happen.
I want EVERYTHING Obama has signed into law and EVERY appointment he has made voided.
Your dreaming on that one. The Republican's have no "Balls" or anything else.
Nothing and I mean nothing is going to change.
If Romney is the GOP nominee, I will no longer be a republican.
I agree 100% with your comment....oh, wait, you are my husband!!! Haa!
I also support Newt Gingrich and have a sticker on my car and a copy of his campaign issues in my purse. So when I am questioned I can give this to the person and ask which issue they do not think will work. Newt has history of success with successful leadership that made Clinton look good even though Clinton did not agree with the reforms. They worked for America!
The RNC calls us and mails us but I tell them I am a Tea Party Conservative and not interested in wasting my money to support RINOs.
Then since your goal is to advance the conservative cause, you must be intending to vote for Obama yourself.
And don't tell me I'm not conservative. I have been since most of you were born. It is ingrained in my very being. We have always been our own worst enemy.
That is not going to happen. Ever. Even if the Supreme Court somehow concluded he was inelible, which they won't, they would not undue everything he did. Believing there is even the slightest possibility of that happening is borderline delusional.
Actually, scratch "delusional".
Knock me over with a feather! 100% agreement is... unusual. Does this mean I get to sleep inside tonight? :-)
I think the Republican party has begun to understand this. However, instead of attempting to regain conservatives trust, they have decided to oppose conservative at every turn. This became readily apparent in 2010, when the likes of Rove and other party elites attempted to thwart TEA party candidacies. It has only continued with the way they insured that everyone who would be even mildly appealing to the Right, was destroyed in this primary season.
I don't accept that, though. I believe he will be the nominee, but president? How is a liberal with a leftwing record going to offer himself as a clear choice when the opponent is a Marxist? Romney simply cannot run on his record, and saying "Well, at least I'm not Obama" won't cut it. And even if he does win, you expect Boehner and the GOP-e to hold his feet to the fire? Really?? Did they ever do that with Bush?
The only thing I'm sure of, though, is that I won't have to live with the fact that I cast a vote for the abortion/homosexual lover Willard.
I have a grand idea; why don't you half-wits go out and FRAGMENT THE VOTE AGAIN so we can put this Commie POS back in office for another four years! Will that make you feel like you got even?
If you want to dump the GOPe....you should be taking OVER THE GOPe!!! Are you a Precinct Committee person? Do you go to their meetings, help elect conservative PCP's? If not, then you're just talking trash.
technically speaking, another's vote is none of yours or mine business. I can wield a pencil however.
He's dead right on this and boy did we screw the pooch.
Insulting the people you are trying to convince has never been a good way to win an argument.
On election day , I will be writing in the Tina Fey look-a-like from Alaska.
All other candidates will be Tea Party backed.
Like Michael was to Fredo, I'm done with the GOP establishment. They mean nothing to me.
If you read those surveys all the way through they are nothing but fund raising letters for the GOP-e. I've heard tales of people at the mailing address opening them, taking out the check then tossing the rest into the trash. By you throwing it out, you saved yourself cash and aggravation.
I haven't given a dime to the Neo-Whig party since Bush I.
I am in a precinct, but how will that change the higher ups? Hm?
I am in a precinct, but how will that change the higher ups? Hm?
Of course it is. If other peoples' votes weren't our business, nobody would campaign or try to convince people how to vote. And if you're going to say that it would be much better for conservatism if Obama won, then it is perfectly legitimate for others to point out that the logical conclusion of your position is for conservatives to vote for Obama, thereby advancing the cause of conservatism.
If you don't have a rebuttal to that argument, I'd suggest you check your premises.
Over the last 60 years, the GOP has controlled the White House about 60% of the time. Yet, the GOP has not significantly slowed the growth of government - which is our biggest problem. In fact, some of the most egregious big-government legislation has been passed under GOP Presidents.
So, in practice, both parties' programs are closer to Karl Marx than to the constitution.
The only edge I could give to the GOP is that a GOP President seems to appoint Supreme Court Justices that are more conservative, although that has in some cases backfired.
The test will come in June when the Supreme Court delivers its verdict on Obamacare. If the Court doesn't at least find the Obamacare mandate unconstitutional, I'll know for certain that there's not a dime's worth of difference between a GOP and a Rat presidency. If that's the case, I will certainly not vote for Romney.
A case could be made that it might be better for our country to have GOP House and an Obama Presidency. The resulting gridlock would better keep the bastards in both parties in check.
I wouldn't presume to "tell" another how to vote; a write in ballot is always perfectly acceptable, however.
Any logician should be able to clearly perceive that a Republican Congress with a Romney presidency is more damaging to the Conservative Cause than ANY alternative in the White House.
Count me in too if the Conservative party promises to withdraw all combat soldiers from wars that have not been Constitutionally formally declared by Congress. No Presidential work-arounds on UN resolutions.
So instead of saying people who do this are wrong, I want to give them something to think about. Perhaps it will help them see things a little differently.
What we have been trying hasn't worked. We slide farther left every single year. At some point this has to stop, or we lose the nation we love no matter which party is in power.
I don't find anything wrong with that argument as written, but it certainly implies a causal link that hasn't been proven. Namely, that the reason the country has slipped to the left is because conservatives or Republicans are willing to vote for the lesser of two evils. But I don't think that has anything to do with it.
The problem isn't conservatives voting for the lesser of two evils. The problem is that the horde of liberals and mushy-minded moderates all get to vote too, and they don't want the same people we do. The stark reality is that conservatives are not the majority in this country. So if we want conservatives to win Presidential elections, we have to be fortunate enough to either 1) be running against a really crummy, uncharismatic Democrat, or 2) have a truly great conservative candidate.
Unfortunately, neither of those was available to us in this campaign cycle. I don't see that as a justification to give up on opposing the greater of two evils because of the greater damage that can be done by that greater evil. And, it seems obvious to me that conservatives are certainly going to have more influence over a GOP President than a Democrat who will be pandering to his base heavily his entire second term.
Just because the President is a Republican doesn't mean conservatives can't loudly and strongly oppose his policies with which we disagree. As much of a squishy moderate as Bush was on some issues, I think most of us would agree this country would be in even worse shape if Gore of Kerry had been elected in his stead. And it does us no good if the patient dies before we can find the right doctor.
You say: "If you want to dump the GOPe....you should be taking OVER THE GOPe!!! Are you a Precinct Committee person? Do you go to their meetings, help elect conservative PCPs? If not, then youre just talking trash."
Response: "I am in a precinct, but how will that change the higher ups? Hm?"
Guess you better try getting Civics reinstituted as a subject taught in the public schools before trying to get people to understand that we are where we are because conservatives abandoned participating in the process,
As I've said before, unfortunately, in the unlikely event Romney should get the presidency, he will become the head of the Republican party and will therefore put those individuals of like minds in key positions. Just going by his past history pertaining to his conduct in and out of office, it will take decades, if ever, for the conservative movement to again gain the foothold and the power that it now has. Among vast number of conservative Republicans (I use that term advisedly) there will be such a "wailing and gnashing of teeth" lamenting how could this have happened to us and this great country of ours? My retort will be...... look in the mirror! The "Republican Establishment" is playing a successful game of rope-a-dope.
As for myself, I'll no longer vote for the lesser of two evils because evil is still evil no matter how much lipstick you put on it. My word, I've gone down the voting list from Sarah Palin to Newt and I'm going no further. I'll not vote for someone who should actually be running on the Democrat ticket as a moderate Democrat. That's how we got into this mess! Let'r rip!
So the dangerous man socialist can take his place? (Romneycare, gun grabber) I don't think so. Not a spit of difference between them and don't go saying it's about the judges. Romey put in judges that were just as liberal as the Obama picks.
I will never vote for Romney. He does not hold one value that I do. He may reluctantly claim that he is a Republican but he is no conservative.
No, but the tea party does and that's who we should be supporting, not the Republican party.

Driving a G37S and Today was my 1st snow fall with the blizzaks and I'm very impressed. Last year had Hankook V12 on my stock rims and couldn't even make it out of my parking spot, car went sideways so I had to just leave it parked. Now with the Blizzaks I'm tearing up the snow. Dunno why the guy a few comments before said they were no good cuz for me it was a success. Also forgot to mention I put like 200 extra pounds in my trunk. Not a lot but good enough to make it. I'd recommend these tires n they are Sports car approved in my book.

Had it since 2010 winter, only use it in winter times where temperature drops below 7C. Seattle from Vancouver, highway was unsalted, other cars use right lane doing 40-60kmh while left lane was unused. You can see no one has been on the left lane and I used the left lane doing approx 80-100kmh.
Tire is good for snow or ice, took the car to Whistler, no slip, grips the road just like summer time.
