Skip to comments.Liberals Push Gay Blood in Risky Policy Change
Posted on 04/04/2010 7:24:45 AM PDT by Titus-Maximus
While the Obama Administration and its "progressive" supporters in Congress insist they want a federal health care bill to protect people from deadly diseases, liberal senators led by John Kerry (D-Mass.) and Al Franken (D-Minn.) have pressured the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) into considering lifting the ban on male homosexuals donating blood. It's a decision that could mean disease and death for many Americans, and billions of dollars in additional health care costs.
"John Kerry Supports Gay Blood" declared a column on a pro-homosexual website.
Kerry, Franken and 16 other liberal senators insist they want the blood supply to remain safe and that donated blood must undergo two "highly accurate" tests that make the risk of tainted blood entering the blood supply virtually or nearly zero.
But writer and researcher Dale O'Leary says that male homosexuals, or men who have sex with men (MSM), as the FDA describes them, "expose themselves to such a wide variety of pathogens that medical professionals can never be sure that they have a test to identify every one of them. There could even now be something lurking out there, hidden in the blood of apparently healthy men, waiting."
O'Leary, the author of One Man, One Woman, and The Gender Agenda: Redefining Equality, is writing a forthcoming report on the medical and health impact of admitting open and active homosexuals into the U.S. Armed Forces.
"Senator Kerry argues that this policy is now arcane because we have tests to determine if donated blood carries the HIV, but the problem is not the diseases we know of and have tests for but the diseases which we haven't identified as sexually transmitted and blood borne and don't have tests for," O'Leary points out.
(Excerpt) Read more at aim.org ...
Let Americans die on the altar of political correctness.
No thanks liberals, there are diseases in their blood that they have no test for. Homosexuals killed thousands of innocent people with their selfish habits and this nation is not about to risk another devastating outbreak that murders child hemophiliacs because Queer Nation is upset about the very necessary and intelligent rules.
Its interesting that Ezekiel Emanuel wants to control risky behavior IE obesity and smoking (more to come) but homosexual activity is never mentioned as risky.
But don't expect these senators to partake, should a transfusion be required at some point in time. They'll rely on their own vintage—a$$hat smackoff, Type A.
Not a problem ... —> as long as that gay blood goes ONLY to the President, his family... Democrat Senators/Congresspersons and their families... as well as the Obambi Czars and their families... and basically just any Dem elected official... and the moonbats of New England.
Both, but neither is the real root-cause.
They're malignantly evil.
Learn something new every day. (And just how do you prove you're gay?)
Hell no on this one ! Ask Ryan White what he would think of this !
I see a lucrative business for enterprising individuals: private blood banks. Probably unConstitutional.
Exempt, exempt, exempt, exempt, exempt, exempt, and basically exempt.
Assuming you are a man, I would say by having sex with another man.
"Organ grinders can keep their bodily excretions in themselves, and that includes blood!!!"
(And just how do you prove you're gay?)
Right now, blood banks rely on the honor system. They inquire at the time of donation if the prospective donor has had homosexual sex since the 1970's, among other queries.
Anyone who says "yes" is not allowed to donate.
The policy makes good sense. Besides aids, active homosexuals can be a vector for hepatitis as well as other blood borne diseases especially including those not yet identified or isolated.
I think you're on the right track.
Right there at the blood bank? Okay, I have to admit, that's proof.
Ezekiel Emanuel probably knows all about Rahm Emanuel's "weiner bump" program for the House gym lockeroom
Considering that many studies show that chunky folks actually live longer than thin or even "normal" weight people, and it becomes even more interesting. It's OK to hate fat people, but we must not criticize homosexuals.
Already in place.
Prospective surgery patients can donate pints of their own blood in the weeks prior to surgery.
I read that also. The study I read said men who are 30lbs over weight are more likely to survive a heart attack.
Everything is to be done for a leftist agenda, not what makes sense. Stop them.
Well, I see myself refusing to give blood to the blood banks if this policy is rescinded. I can never or rarely anticipate when one of my friends or loved ones will need my Type O untainted blood and they would definitely get firt crack at it.
Well, maybe not eliminate, but a lot of gay lefties think that homosexual sex is preferable because they do not reproduce. They think of heterosexuals as a form of pollution to be tolerated on a limited basis.
If something is evil, Obama is for it.
Oh, you're talking about at the blood bank? I think they use a form that asks questions and they trust the people who want to give blood to be honest.
will not that blood also have to be labeled?
This is insane. What about that super virulet HIV that was in NY and killed within days?
Does john kerry get the first transfusion?
or its an easy way to kill political enemies.
I used to have a leftist radical lesbian friend who once told me that "men should be farmed for their sperm and then exterminated".
That is a direct quote from her.
Heterosexuals are viewed as a threat by homosexuals because we see and speak out about their perversion. We don't want our children and grandchildren to be indoctrinated and molested by them.
They want us GONE.
Yep. On a previous thread on this topic, I proposed starting a business selling certified sodomite free blood, for many times the price of the politically correct, but potentially lethal stuff. Nearly every patient would pay the premium for the safe blood.
Maybe LCBT donated blood should be reserved for LGBT and progressive recipiants. Want to bet that the recipiants wouldn't complain?
There can be a window of 6-12 months between HIV infection and the test for it turning positive. Russian roulette anyone?
Political Correctness is Killing Us.
I suppose now that they got the Health Care Monstrosity rammed through, the dimwits in Congress think they know everything there is to know about health and health care. Instant experts.
As the article points out, there are a lot of things besides HIV spread through the blood, and we may not even know about some of them yet.
Not really. Anywhere will do.
I think they use a form that asks questions and they trust the people who want to give blood to be honest.
Ah! And there's the rub - so to speak. Let's say someone is NOT gay (not that there's anything wrong with that) but fill out the form checking off that they ARE gay. They'll need proof. Will pictures do?
On the flip side - if someone IS infected but says that they aren't gay? That could cause problems - no?
Next up, mandate that IV drug users, prostitutes, mega-piercers and "bug chasers" be allowed to give blood to the general population. It's their "right."
Not necessarily. I've heard of people banking their own blood, but it's very costly. (Remember the Seinfeld episode where Kramer made a 'withdrawal' to keep in his own freezer?)
That, and the accessibility to your own blood products on short notice impose obvious limits.
Such anarchists need to be charged with a federal felony, if not just outright shot. But they will, unbelievably, actually be lauded.
We need to wrest this idiotic discussion from the hands of the sodomites and put it back on a rational path. They want people to think that "gays" are being banned from donating because they are "gay", when it is merely the well-founded, rational, solidly proven risk that such behavior presents to the blood supply.
Isn't Ezekiel Emanual a homosexual himself? Or is that the other brother?

More overt, in-your-face destruction from the Donks. There is not one eensy teensy good reason for this, and a hundred clear reasons why it is very bad. The simple fact is that leftists are not dumb (well, a lot are but) - they want to destroy. Their policies are not designed this way because of stupidity, but hatred of truth and goodness.
I think you are thinking about the other brother's employer.
I am sure I read that one Emanual brother is a homosexual.
Maybe it's not the doctor "Mengele reincarnated" brother but a third one?
As soon as I hit "post" I realized what you meant...
Now I'll have to find out if there are three, I'm pretty sure there are, and they all had to take ballet.
I wonder if their parents are happy at how the little perv leftists turned out.
Well, that makes me happy. I was funny. ,-)
If all the sexual perverts were removed from DC, the population would be reduced by a huge percentage, and everyone would be better off. Except the location where the pervs were sent...
We better kick these clowns out of office in the coming elections...

By KAREN TRUMANChairperson Emery County Arts Council
As we continue our journey through Emery County in our quest to 'Revitalize the Arts in Emery County' we stop in Ferron and Emery to look at arts in the past.
Early settlers of Ferron met together frequently to participate in all kinds of recreation. Dancing was a popular diversion which took place in the bowery just west of the church, in homes, stores and later in the church. These early settlers understood the importance of joining together, enjoying each other's company and having a good time.
The early Ferron Dramatic Company was managed by Joseph Thornton, Thomas Fugate and William Worthen. They presented many productions. Most of the scenery was made by town carpenters and preserved for years. This seems to be all the information I have regarding the arts in Ferron, but I find more interest in the arts in Emery where the first plays were staged in the home of Casper Christiansen. A stage was improvised in one end of the log structure, sheets were used as curtains, and families of the settlers along the Muddy River provided the audience. Jim Fisk, who came from Mt. Pleasant, was a popular comedian and director in the period preceding 1885. In 1888 a regular dramatic association was organized under the sponsorship of the local LDS ward, with G.T. Olsen as director and many plays were produced.
In a publication of the Daughters of Utah Pioneers it tells that plays would be featured once or twice a year. Isaac Allred recalled playing five or six dramas in a single winter season. According to Allred no one individual acted as director of plays, the responsibility was accepted by various members of the dramatic company.
In 1893, Joseph J. Anderson organized a dramatic troupe and in 1900, Nephi L. Williams organized a dramatic company.
In about 1902, a brass band was organized and a dramatic company put on productions to raise the money to buy the instruments. "Brookdale Farm," "Prairie Rose," and "Ten Nights in a Barroom" were played by this group.
Music and dramatics were recognized as an important part of life by these early citizens and they worked together to provide the best entertainment, keeping positive attitudes and doing all they could to bring about feelings of happiness and well-being.
We, as an arts council hope to inspire the citizens of Emery County today to give support to the arts in our county. If you are interested in supporting the effort of the Emery County Arts Council or if you have special memories or photos of the performing arts in Emery County from the past, the Emery County Arts Council would like to hear from you. I have had a lot of positive feedback and several email responses to the last two articles.
I was happy to have a photo of the "Marshall Brothers Band" in Huntington emailed to me and to see that one of the members of that band was my grandfather.
Email responses to Karen at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 384-2896.

I'm a sports junkie and am obsessed with U.S. soccer (and soccer in general). I'm very excited to be able to cheer on the WNY Flash at Sahlen's Stadium instead of having to watch on YouTube! People often think I sound like Ellen, and I always take that as a compliment because I love comedy and have always looked up to one of the best comedians of all time.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports writer
The first draft of the new high school realignment that would take effect in the 2009 school year is out and 3-A sports is affected. Just as today, there would be 4 regions in the new 3-A alignment. Proposed to leave the 3-A ranks to the 4-A ranks would be Logan, Uintah and Ogden. Proposed to move to 3-A will be 2-A teams American Leadership Academy, Juab, Manti and Richfield.
The proposed draft would put Emery High and Carbon High in separate regions. Emery would be in a region with Delta, North Sanpete, Manti and Juab. Carbon would go with ALA, Park City, Juan Diego, Union and Wasatch.
The enrollment requirements for the new alignment would be 1-A 0-149, 2-A 150-399, 3-A 400-999, 4-A 1000-1600 and 5-A over 1600.
In the 3-A ranks, Park City has 992 students, Bear River 976 students, Ben Lomond 976 students, Wasatch 898 students and Hurricane with 905 students.
Emery would have 481 students and Carbon 796 students. Emery would be similar in number of students with all their proposed region teams. Grantsville and Richfield would be the only other two schools with less than 500 students. Grand is the only 2-A school out of 19 that has more than 300 students.
This is only a draft and probably will be altered at least four more times before the final draft is accepted on June 10 of this year.

Gillis Speaks: Hiring a Coach (Probably Tortorella) "Shouldn't take us much longer"
Thomas Drance
June 21 2013 05:13PM
To cap a zany day - one that started with Vancouver's former coach being introduced in New York and culminated with New York's former coach (and rumoured Canucks coach-elect) John Tortorella being mobbed at the airport by Vancouver sports reporters - Mike Gillis joined BMac and Taylor on the Team1040.
The Canucks General Manager avoided confirming reports that John Tortorella is his choice to be Vancouver's bench boss, but he didn't deny it outright either. Based on Gillis's non-denial, the multiple sources reporting that Tortorella is the guy, and absent reports of John Stevens rushing to Vancouver for a last minute summit with Canucks brass - I think we can say with some, but not complete, confidence that John Tortorella will be the seventeenth head coach in Canucks history. Which raises a variety of pertinent questions...
Read on past the jump.
Mike Gillis wouldn't quite confirm on Friday afternoon that John Tortorella is the next coach of the Vancouver Canucks, but he did at least hint that the drawn out process of selecting a new coach is nearing its completion. Asked specifically to confirm whether John Tortorella was the guy, Mike Gillis played coy (but not as coy as I'd expected):
I can't say at this point but John is certainly in the mix and very strong and we're going to finish off the process the way we design it initially and well it shouldn't take us much longer"
Gillis also denied that the seven week process to address the team's head coaching situation was taking to long or indicative of any type of "analysis paralysis," contending that the process "has been extremely helpful" and is "right on schedule."
On the decision to change coaches in the first place, and how this coaching change fits in with Mike Gillis's promised offseason "reset" the Canucks General Manager had this to say:
"I just felt there were certain things that needed to be changed. Alain's going to go on and be a very good coach in New York, but I felt we needed a change in direction and part of the reset - the main part of the reset I spoke about at my year ending press conference - was whether we were prepared to to have that change in voice, and we decided that we were."
"The main part of the reset" phrase struck me as very interesting and Mike Gillis elaborated on this concept further. In my view he sort of walked back the notion of any sort of significant reset taking place this summer, beyond the change behind the bench of course. Gillis essentially threw the entire weight of his reset behind the hiring of a new coach saying, "There isn't a bigger change you can actually make..." He added, "the hiring of a new coach is going to go a long way towards establishing a different voice and a different approach to how our hockey team plays."
Reading between the lines it sure sounds to me like Mike Gillis and the Canucks may spend their offseason tinkering rather than making any sort of wide ranging structural changes to the club's roster. That's not a big surprise, but the way Mike Gillis pivotted on the "reset" concept on Friday afternoon was striking (and about the only striking part of the interview beyond Gillis's non-denial of the Tortorella reports). So is replacing Vigneault with Tortorella, finding salary cap space somewhere, and inking a couple of modestly priced free agents all the "reset" the team has in store for this summer? And if that's the case, is it enough?
If they can get under the cap and find a decent 3C, that's about as much of a "reset" as can reasonably be expected from the team. Torts may shake things up for the better, he might make everything fall apart a la Keenan, or, more likely, his impact will be minimal.
Any big changes coming to this team are going to coalesce over the next few years, not months. For better or for worse, we're pretty much stuck with what we have.
Is there any way the Canucks could be trying to bring in Stevens as Tort's calming influence - the "white hat" that many in the media keep saying he'd need?
I guess what I'm asking is, is Stevens still under contract with the Kings or could the Canucks get him here as something other than a head coach?
I doubt they'd try anything as lame as trying to have two head coaches (a la the Oilers when they tried it with Quinn and Renney), but maybe your "Team of Rivals" idea is in the works with Torts as head coach with Arniel and Stevens as Associates.
Luongo, Volpatti, Aquilini, Tortorella... Italian influence on the Canucks grows. Makes you wonder why we couldn't beat the Boston thugs in the 2011 SCF with our Italian mobster culture...
I read Gillis comment exactly how you did regarding the 'reset'. He was completely bailing on it. I can't believe he thinks that changing the coach and bringing back all the same players is gonna get team past the 1st round. Unreal. Of course, it's speculation at this point. But I just have that feeling. I'd pretty much snap at that point. Hiring frackin Torts is one thing (biggest mistake he'll ever make), but keeping the same roster is a disaster.
You guys all need to chill out, we haven't even hit July and you're already complaining about everything Gillis does and doesn't do.
I thought Gillis would be an innovator. As it turns out, he does not have an eye for talent. He has struggled with trades and made some questionable signings.
We're stuck with this core thanks to all the no trade clauses he handed out. This core cannot get the job done.
I like the Torts hire. He isn't good for the long term. He will break up the country club and change the relaxed attitude. He will shake up the core and that is key. Our main guys have gotten way too comfortable and do not fear losing their jobs. They half-ass it out there and it shows; no urgency and they don't often give 100%. So, since we're not making any big moves, Torts in the next best thing.
June 21 2013, 10:12PM
Our loyal fan base jumping ship is far too premature for what may come in Sept. We can then judge the merits of what MG has promised in the closing blame game of another 1st round boot. Hypothetically speaking, more change has got to come, right? I know we all have our favorite coach's, and having Tort's probably scares most people, but look at what has happened. Out 1st round 2 years in a row, and no one took responsibility, players, or Gillis. Although I felt bad for AV he had a huge part in the failure of the no show on the ice. As I recall, our Canuck's played one or two 60 minute games all short season. So; I ask you this, if you were an owner what would you do? Yes; it resembles the days of Keenan, but we don't know until we give the guy a chance. As some of us have described our team, The Boy's From The Country Club, sitting relaxed on the bench with cocktails waiting for the game to be over. Kevin Bieska, and the twins quoting that we don't need a coach to light a fire under us. I say bring Tort's on, and bench half the team, get some of them to ask for trades, better than just Ballard sitting up in the Ivory tower alone. We deserve the Grail, and nothing less, 42 years of waiting is too long, and I am getting old and want it now, don't you? So; I decided that the disaster we are living in could very easily be changed with having a little fire on the bench. If Johnny T gets signed this weekend, I say good signing for the Canuck's.
The Sedin sisters... that's why. And they're not Italian.
You're exactly right. Torts is coming and the country club party is over. If Bieksa and Sedin like country clubs, they should go and join a real one, and leave competitive pro sports to real competitors. Even if Torts loses every single game here, it doesnt matter because the Canucks never had anything to lose.
Keenan was a slap in the face and a mirror, and folks who reside in country clubs do not like such a thing, so they got rid of him. And I'm sure the lazy country clubbers on the team will try to get torts fired too, but I look forward to seeing some of these lazy basterds getting traded...see how they like playing on another team who wont put up with excuses.
Trevor linden, Mclean, Lumme, all those country clubbers That were the real problems, Keenan traded them away and look what they accomplished after, nothing, They retired knowing that they had it soooo easy in Vancouver. Playing and losing and still getting rewarded. History is repeating itself again here. Watch out and remember, country clubbers never win anything because club members care more about comfort than competition.
no really, canucks fans are the worst haha
Get rid of the twins. They are paid to be leaders but fail to do so season after season
Loyal fan base? This is the team that has the biggest bandwagon in Canada. And you don't deserve anything, especially the cup
If Bieksa and Sedin are the ones saying they don't need a coach to fire them up, then it's safe to say they were and are the real problems with that dressing room. Last I checked, none of those guys showed up in the 7th game in the finals. It was an embarrassment for the ages. You cannot look at yourself as a real athlete when you don't even show up for the final game and then act like it's no big deal.
Goes to show you that when accountability shows up, the weak and unaccountable start crying about it. Maybe the Sedins can start a petition on why they shouldn't be blocking shots...cause it might hurt them. Boo hoo hoo.
Holy crap... what the eff is going on with comment boards here lately?! When did this site start to get the overflow from CDC and the Province commenters?
For starters, if you've actually read any of the reports over the last two days, a credible source has the Sedins pushing for the Torts hire... of course that ruins the "soft 'sisters'" narrative, so you probably read it and immediately dismissed it.
I am sick of the moronic responses on Canucks blogs. For those of you who are fans of other teams but reading these out of curiosity, these stupid comments do not represent Canucks fans in general. They're either the outspoken fringe that ruins it for the rest of us, or trolls. Most Canuck fans, and definitely most readers of this blog are intelligent people who actually think instead of just offering knee-jerk responses and tired, unfounded cliches.
The "reset" comment by Gillis stood out for me as well.
But it's not altogether suprising. What else can he do considering the situation he has created?
I'm sure he would like to make a significant roster change aside from shipping out Lou, Ballard & Roy and giving the ice time to low-medium ceiling prospects.
A coaching change is just a prayer at this point. The idea that Tortorella is going to "get more" out of these players than AV is wishful thinking.
"The Sedin sisters... "
The Nation Network wouldn't tolerate other forms of derogatory comments. Why is this still tolerated?
Totally agree with AC.
Did everybody miss the report that the Sedins asked for this? I doesn't appear like they're too worried about Tortorella changing the locker room culture.
The problem isn't the Sedins. Or goaltending or Hamhuis or Garrison...
If Torts can figure out the secondary scoring... ie, how to get Kesler to use his wingers more and not play so recklessly, or to "fix" Booth, then we should be OK.
Also, Torts might be able to motivate and get through to Kassian better, which can help any of the top 4 lines.
And finally, maybe Torts, or someone that he brings in can help Edler become more consistent.
These guys have the tools to be pretty good players and maybe a new voice does help.
AV probably lost the attention of Kesler, Booth, Edler and never had Kassian.
If Gillman can figure out the cap with some black magic, this team should be ok.
I don't think any coach can fix our core, but, I do look forward to having Torts on board. Maybe, just maybe he'll be able to light a much needed fire under some of these complacent 'nucks!
Not sure that I'd call this a true reset, and it does seem as though MG has tweaked his original definition of what he meant by a reset, but nonetheless, good starting point. Hope there's more to come.
PS. Keep Lou.
Let me play devils advocate. So what now, if folks aren't allowed to use nicknames for fun what else can't we say? Should there be a rule here were by whenever referring to a Canucks loss we can't call it a loss but a " no victory?"
Seriously guys, really? Do we really need to baby millionaires who had a chance to show their stuff in the last few years and came up short? I'm sure the Sedins were called all sorts of names by Boston, the Sedins seem to be ok with it with their play.
But fear not Canuck fans, the Hawks are showing you guys what to do against a team like Boston. Put your feet up, grab a brewsky and watch a team like the Hawks teach you guys how to dismantle Boston. If the Hawks win the cup, the Boston style of play will be dead. Chara? He's good when opponents stay away from him and avoid him, but when you play the bugger, he falls apart. This unfortunately is some thing the Canucks could not do. Time to take notes, boys.
The Sedins play the most ice time along with their mates. They are invisible in the playoffs. The results dictate the facts, the Sedins do not get a get out of jail pass just because they are nice guys off the ice.
This team for the last 2 years starting with the finals against Boston has shown they have no heart, no passion and no will to win. And with the lousy trades Gillis has made, they are even more short on grit..if there is any left. The system under AV did not work, and if what is broken is not righted, more of the same will happen.
AV is an over rated coach, and his problem is that he is as " dense" as a man can get. He will never bring a cup to NY because he's shown he has no sense of accountability in his ways, and his ducking of press after 2 humiliating play off exits concretely stamps out this fact. AV's teams play like him, without passion or resilience. Everyone saw the landslide shift in momentum starting after the Rome hit...everyone except AV. Everyone saw Luongos meltdowns and the teams...except AV. The Hawks are proving to play the Bruins all you have to do is play them by playing your game no matter what. The Canucks let everything get to them in the finals, the Rome hit, the scrums, Marchand..everything. Looking back a team that implodes like that deserves to lose.
And Boston this year will suffer the wrath of karma. Gone is Campbell, no more favorable calls by daddys new employee, Shanny. No more 7th games against Tampa with no penalties in the game. No more favorable calls. And the best part of karma is...This year the team Boston 's playing in the finals aint the Canucks.So Mark Rechi, if you are reading this, sit back and watch your team lose in the finals, especially because after your team fluked out that year, and talked trash in the summer, ei, crybaby lucic who's always running his mouth, Thornton who couldnt keep his mouth shut,and of course you Rechi and your classless mouth.. sit back Rechi and enjoy watching the Hawks expose and dismantle your team. Too bad for you the Hawks aint the Canucks. LOL. Goona so enjoy watching Lucic and Marchand sit there with that look on their faces when they watch the Hawks hoist the cup.
+1000. This year won't be Bostons year. Just like Vancouver, the mouthy Boston fans are going to taste what Van had 3 years ago, hopefully a riot in Boston to boot. They already had the fake-ass bombings, they should go for a triple crown.
Boston is tasting a lot of what they had coming. No biased calls going their way. Chara is starting to be proven ineffective by the Hawks top line.Bergeron is carted off to the hospital like Raymond was.Campbell got hurt and now his interloping father have to watch on the sidelines, so beautiful. Marchand is in his own head, unable to effect anything on a team like the Hawks, who unlike the Canucks, seem to know how to put him in his place. The bounces are not going bostons way, and if not for the lucky goal post goal in the ot, the Hawks may well be up 3-1 instead of 3-2.The look on the boston players faces says it all, ala- Cancusk in the finals.
You're right, karma has a funny way of showing up arrogance fools like the Bruins and their fans. They win one cup in how many years against the only team they could possibly beat in the finals, then they act all high and mighty and now, it's not just another first round exit...they are on the verge of the most painful of all chokes, going all the way to the finals to lose. Just like the Canucks 3 yrs ago, this would be the most fitting way the hovkey gods pay back the Boston fans, seeing their team go all the way only to choke..cruelty is always more effective when it is long and painful. Watching the Bruins suffer and tank just like the Canucks is the best thing short of a Cup here. And as far as Iam concerned, that cup Boston won will always have an * over it. Boston had all the help from the league that year to win, and if anyone disagrees, than show me all the emails of " instructions" the league sent the refs that year. Sock puppet Shanny can't even decide what is a suspendable hit or not...what a clown. The league is starting to resemble the WWE.
One thing I really missed watching over the last couple of seasons that we're going to get a nice dose of with the Fonz, is hitting. I have no idea why it left our game. We were a more intense and entertaining team when we were on the body, but totally got into passive mode with AV. Torts coached teams dish out the punishment as much as they take it. At the very least I doubt we lack intensity or push back under his watch, it's not in his make-up.
So in that respect I think the biggest part of the reset is behind us. A much needed new culture and leadership, with that prized ring to prove he's battle tested. Personally, from the day he was fired I thought he'd be the best man for the job out here, and feel lucky that Gillis got the job done. So kudos on that one.
Keep in mind it's still pretty early in the summer and our management team has made pretty good headway with what they've had on their plate. I think despite what he says to reporters, necessity dictates there will be some more eyebrow raising moves.
Really? Did you try to defend that comment by saying it's OK because it's all in good fun and the Sedins are millionaires so they should be able to take it anyways? Come on, man.
The Sedins, and all their millions, are fair game but if you can't make an argument without insulting 3+ billion people then the rest of your comment probably isn't worth much anyways.

As soon as you take the bait you're on the line. Let it pass you by and you are free to let the lesser fish fight over it.
The Sedins have been a treat as far as I'm concerned. They've given an awful lot to us over the years, and are reaping the just rewards. Find me a team that isn't questioning their stars' abilities at the end of the season and you'll probably find a champion.
That being said, it would be awfully nice to put them in a scenario where it doesn't all fall onto their shoulders. This is a team sport after all and every year it's the best team that wins...not the best players.
Yes and that is your opinion. Other don't look at the Sedin's as a treat but a disappointment. Who dies and made you the god of hockey?
Why should others baby the team just because you're overly sensitive and can't take criticism that's not even directed at you?
And yes, it is on their shoulders, they play together like peas in a pod, one wears the C and they get millions payed to them, by fans who come to the games and fork out good money for a product many do not get in return. So yes, it's on them so quit acting like they walk about water. They are anything but and all that babying is making the team even bigger babies and a bigger country club.
If the Sedin's were on the 4th line doing nothing that's one thing, but they are not. They get a tone of money and play the most minutes, it's time for them to man up, shape up or ship out. There are fans out there have no no more time for excuses and coddling.
Just curious, since this is such a big thing in your mind and we're in presently reset mode, how do you solve this problem without being insulting? Or can you?
I suspect the best way is to provide a much better palette of secondary players. Price will be a problem, we do have certain assets to give. I think the biggest issue has to do with the quality of our fringe players which has deteriorated considerably since the Finals. Kinda makes it easier to focus on our top guys and go gunning for them.
No one's saying the Sedins can't be criticized, though in my mind it's generally unfair criticisms, I think we'd all defend your right to criticize them.
The issue is that by calling them sisters, you're implying women are weak and pathetic. If that's honestly what you think, I don't think you're going to get much of anyone's time from here on out, certainly not mine. I genuinely hope this is not what you think.
As far as the hire, I've been hoping for this ever since Torts was sacked from NYR. He's genuinely entertaining in my mind. I mean, how comforting will it be after a Canucks loss to have him flying off the handle? I think it's cute the Canucks brass think they can keep him chained up. Unleash the beast, Torts!
Seriously though, it's hard the shake the idea that the team has been dogging it ever since the finals loss, especially this past season. I'm hoping that the reset is in effect the idea that they just needed a regime change in the locker room to make them feel like a new, rejuvenated team again. The Canucks did do fairly well this season without having a 2nd line, but they just couldn't hold onto anything in the playoffs. I hope Torts can motivate the lot of them.
INSULTING? when was I being insulting? I didn't call nobody here names. Are you the Sedins? Can you accept other ppls criticisms of the Canucks without having to lash out and baby them? If you want to coddle the twins than that's up to you, but don't force other folks to baby and sugar coat ugliness either. It's not a rosy world in Canuckland, last time I checked. And if it's seems acceptable to you now, it's because it was terrible back when.
Reset? The quality of your fringe players are gone because Gillis lost them to other teams signings or traded them away. nothing new here, trade the grit and the folks who helped the team get tot he finals and keep the inept core...nothing new here, move along, seen that before a dozen times. In the UFC, you lose 3 times and you're practically kicked out of the company. In business, if you lose once, you're out of business. I find it funny that if you play for the Canucks, the more you lose the more chances you get. Hmmm.. makes you think right? Does it? Or am I being " insulting" again?
I'm in total agreement with AC; this thread is full of moronic comments from a crew of mouth-breathing idiots and/or trolls. Mods, let's nuke it and start over.
It is what it is. Look, you think being called sisters is bad? You should get a micro phone on the ice and see what's said in todays game. The things said even 15 years ago would make anyone cringe. Now are we not all getting all little too PC here? This "team" needs a good long bollocking...because babying them obviously have not gotten the job done.
The canucks are more interested in " branding" then winning, the problem compounds itself more when the fans also buy into it. Let's be honest here, the Canucks have been saying they need a center, a second line, a goaltender, etc etc for a long long time. You start to wonder if that is ever true given their circumstances.
Torts will try to motivate them , yes, but what if the players are lazy and hopeless? What then? Well, I guess it's not the cores fault, it's the coaches. Enter the Canuck Cycle of Coddling again.
I think you need to get a hold of your " no one can criticize my team " rage. You need help man, seriously. It's a team of millionaires, who could care less about what you think when they have a bed of money to sleep on.
They can and better be able to take criticism, so should you buddy. If folks who have differing views are trolls then does that make you a Canuck shill? It's just a game played by wealthy players, it's entertainment, and when ppl pay for a product they don't receive, you can damn well bet they have a right to complain. If you and the Canucks cant take the heat, then get out of the kitchen, man. It's hockey, not Yoga.
Who says I was talking about you, big boy?
Yes, and no player has ever gotten in trouble for anything he's communicated while on the ice.
I mean, seriously, the fact that you're degrading half the human population is justifiable because some millionaires disconnected from society because they're famous and play a game do it?
If we all walked around acting like celebrities do, I'd kill myself.
Also, I agree, no question, I feel "branded to" way too often. I don't necessarily feel like the criticisms of most of the players are fair (i.e. they're usually one-sided and agenda driven rather than done in an attempt to be fair), but I don't think the Sedins are the problem. The Canucks haven't had much forward depth for a while. In particular, I pin that on the GM for trading away two young, developed talent in Hodgson and Grabner, both trades that I hated as soon as I heard them.
The fact that you think I'm degrading half the population tells me you are way too sensitive and chances are, way to PC for you own good. No wonder they call Vancouver a no fun city.
Yes, if rich athletes don;t preform I'd call them pond scum if it would get them to shape up and I don't care if i insult all of god's creatures living in ponds.
If I took comments as seriously as you obviously do, I'd kill myself. But alas, I'm still here. Lighten up buddy, before you get labeled as a " no fun boner buster." Or am "I now insulting all species with erect penises?
Says me, big boy. That my opinion, take it or leave it, pally.
And you do have " no one can criticize my team " rage. Chill out before you blow a lung, homie. they say that high blood pressure is a silent killer. It aint worth it , homie.

Headshots January 16th
Thomas Drance
January 16 2012 03:18PM
Headshots are a Canucks Army feature where we link to the day's freshest news, and other assorted Canucks web-goodies. If you've written a blogpost, produced a tribute video or birthed a clever .gif into existence - please e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
I've spent most of the last month criss-crossing North America, so Headshots has lapsed. But it makes its triumphant return today!
Have the Canucks played down to their opposition this season? Daniel Wagner does some digging over at Pass it to Bulis and the evidence suggests that indeed they do.
Vigneault and Ryan Kesler had a minor squabble in the press today. I assume that most fans and media are giving Vigneault the benefit of the doubt, and waiting to see whether or not this latest tactic works to motivate the team's star center before criticizing the head-coach for losing the room. That's what's happening, right?
Andy Eide finds some respectable new lodgings over at The Hockey Writers. Today marked his debut and he urged the Canucks to consider calling up Chris Tanev.
Canucks.com talks to Jannik Hansen about getting Gene Simmons' autograph. The Grantland founder attended the Canucks game last night.
Via Chloe Ezra, the many faces of Roberto Luongo:
Doug MacLean did a Doug MacLeanish thing, starting a baseless rumour about the Canucks acquiring George Parros. Here's my take on why such a transaction makes absolutely no sense.
Dani at the Benched Whale previews tomorrow's game between the Canucks and the Kings. Needless to say, she works in a healthy dose of Dustin Penner pancake jokes.
Last but not least, Gmac writes that the Canucks power-play has been deceptively poor for a while now, with the exception of the Boston game. He's absolutely right, of course.

Car parking charges at Wakehurst
Joint statement between National Trust and Kew
In a joint statement Sir Simon Jenkins, Chairman, National Trust, and Marcus Agius, Chairman, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, said:
'The National Trust and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew have been working together to find a sustainable future for Kew at Wakehurst.
'The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew currently maintains the gardens, woodlands and the Mansion at Wakehurst, in accordance with a lease from the National Trust. Despite being run efficiently and effectively, the net cost to Kew of running Wakehurst is such that we have reached a point where greater income is needed if we are to continue our outstanding horticultural standards and the wonderful visitor experience that have made Wakehurst one of the Trust's most popular properties.
'We have agreed that the best way to raise this much needed income is through the introduction of car parking charges in April 2014.'
Additional parking fee
Wakehurst Season Ticket holders, Friends of Kew and those who purchase a day ticket to enter Wakehurst will not need to pay the additional fee for car parking.
National Trust members will retain their free entry to Wakehurst, but will pay to park. Cars will cost annually from £25, £2 for the first hour, £5 for two hours and £10 per day
Group visits in minibuses and coaches will either pay the current discounted group entry rate for each passenger, or an agreed fee based on the number of paying visitors in the coach.
As well as allowing Kew to maintain the current high standards at Wakehurst, the charging model allows Kew to link directly its income to the number of visitors. This, in turn, opens the door to investing in the landscape and visitor offer.
Why we are doing this
Kew absorbs the majority of the costs of running Wakehurst and, despite doing so efficiently and effectively, we have a net deficit of £1.4m.
80% of visitors to Wakehurst are National Trust members, who access the gardens without payment to Kew. An endowment provided to the National Trust by Wakehurst's last private owner, Sir Henry Price, contributes approximately £80,000 a year to the management of the house and gardens. Consequently, Kew needs to find opportunities to raise the required income to support the gardens at Wakehurst.
For the past five years we have been working together with the National Trust to identify and evaluate different options to ensure a sustainable future for Wakehurst. We want to invest in Wakehurst and continue to offer a world class garden and nature reserve, and programme of events for our visitors. The introduction of car parking charges will help us to do this.
You can download the full business plan which sets out the reasons for the introduction of parking charges - Business plan for car parking charges.
- free entry to the gardens and Millennium Seed Bank all year round
- free car parking
- one free ticket to Kew Gardens (worth £14.50)
- two free exclusive open evenings, 10% off purchases in the Visitor Centre Shop and Plant Centre (some exclusions apply)
Your chance to ask questions
The support of our visitors is vital to our long term future and we are grateful to the huge number of people who visit the Gardens every year. That's why we want to explain the reasons for our decision and give you a chance to have your say on the change.
Richard Deverell, Director, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Andy Jackson, Director, Wakehurst, and Andy Semple, National Trust Director for London and South East, will be hosting public consultation meetings for any visitors to Wakehurst who would like to ask questions or find out any further information.
They will be taking place on the following dates and times:
Monday 17 March
Morning session: 10.30–11.30am
Afternoon session: 1–2pm
Monday 24 March
Morning session: 10.30am - fully booked
Afternoon session: 1pm - fully booked
Evening session: 7pm - very few spaces remaining
Please contact email@example.com or telephone 01444 894067 to register your interest, stating clearly which session you wish to attend.
All sessions will take place in the Dining Room in the Mansion.

Scouts help with Wreaths Across America tribute
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - Many people remember our veterans on certain holidays, but they often don't include Christmas.
But Saturday more than one hundred people paid their respects to our fallen veterans by laying a holiday wreaths on their grave stones at Mountain Home National Cemetery in Johnson City.
Wreaths Across America held wreath laying ceremonies at veterans' cemeteries across the nation.
Taps and a gun salute were also part of today's holiday tribute.
Boy Scouts packs and Girl Scout troops from across the region were given the honor of laying the wreaths at the grave sites.
"Each one of these graves represents a man or woman who has given their life and their families have had sacrifices with their lives that allow us to be free today. They are learning that so many people in our community are heroes they don't wear capes they wear camo," said Angela Jones, Pack 37 Johnson City.

Poka Dots Are Great
"I was a little worried that these shoes would not fit. My feet are a little wide, but they defiantly proved to be keepers. I wore them about 5hrs and I could have worn them longer. The heel is not to high and the fit it wonderful. So many ladies loved the style. These shoes can be worn simple or dressed up. Martini Pump defiantly has my stamp of approval."

NHL Hirings: Occasionally Imprudent
Jonathan Willis
November 19 2008 01:30PM
I don't know how many folks around this area have seen Neil Smith's (relatively) new website (with a hat-tip to Mirtle). Smith, you'll remember, was the General Manager of the New York Rangers when they broke their long-standing drought and won the Stanley Cup in 1994. He was also the GM of the New York Islanders for about two months, until he was punted aside by Charles Wang in favour of the backup goaltender. His website tells us that he is presently a scout for the Anaheim Ducks, and a television analyst on the NHL Network and elsewhere.
Smith's been writing about business and leadership in a column for the Conde Nast Portfolio, and his website has some of the articles archived. His latest has him grinding away at some familiar axes (including a very enjoyable shot at ex-Rangers coach Mike Keenan). Here is a pair of excerpts from the article:
While positions like coach and general manager are obviously critical ones, the hiring process often doesn't seem to reflect their significance. Instead, it's not uncommon to find a hire based on the idea that it's better to go with the devil you know versus the one you don't. Or ownership may have a personal bias toward a candidate that has little or nothing to do with their likely effectiveness.
In fact, in hockey generally, the vetting process more often than not comes down to a subjective decision by team executives rather than a careful examination of winning percentage, leadership ability, and consistency.
Despite the fact that Smith's preaching a self-serving message (and the amusing Mark Messier head on his website), he isn't wrong. He cites the Dallas Stars as an example, but the league is rife with them—Calgary and Florida both hired successful coaches for a job that required an entirely different skill-set, while teams like Vancouver and Tampa Bay hired player agents. Smith didn't mention his former team, but Charles Wang's decision to employ Garth Snow as General Manager has been the most bizarre GM hiring in recent memory.
Another team we could mention here is the Edmonton Oilers. Kevin Lowe, the team's first draft pick, was an assistant coach for exactly one year before being handed the head coaching assignment. A single season as head coach and the departure of Glen Sather led to his installation as General Manager. The line of Smith's about "personal bias" would certainly seem to apply here, and it's been a hallmark of the EIG's ownership. Craig MacTavish, the current coach, had three years as an assistant before being put into his current spot, but like Charlie Huddy, Craig Simpson, and countless others, he seems to have been hired primarily because of his connection to the team's glory days. The fact that he can coach was fortunate, but hardly assured.
The good news is that the Oilers seem to be moving away from this tradition. Steve Tambellini, who seems to have had a good working relationship with Lowe from their time together at Hockey Canada, was plucked from outside the organization after many years learning the ropes in various capacities with Vancouver. The new coach in Springfield, Jeff Truitt, brings a track record of success from the WHL with him, and also doesn't have a history with the Oilers. It isn't so much that it's wrong to hire people who have history with an organization; it's just wrong to hire second-tier candidates because of that history.
Stay here Jonathan...we need you!
I would say they have broken the tradition after they hire a replacement for the current oach who is not tied to the organization in any way. Tambo & Truitt are a good start - we'll have to wait to see who eventually replaces MacT before or after the season ends.
November 19 2008, 02:15PM
How come no mention of Buchberger? Doesn't jive with the good news?
The Edmonton situation is an interesting one. More than a few people and bloggers tend to harp on the good 'ole boys club here in Edmonton but it doesn't seem as blatant to me as it seems to be to others.
Assistant coaches aside, because coaches bringing in assistants that they are familiar with is not unique to MacTavish, there has only been 1 significant shift in the Oilers front office in their entire 30 years. That happened when Sather left and Lowe was hired.
MacT being promoted was a natural extension of Lowe's promotion because MacT was chosen by Lowe as an assistant prior to being GM, it was logical that the guy he chose in the first place would get the promotion.
As far as Lowe's appointment goes, the EIG didn't hide the fact that Lowe was being promoted because of who he was and not what he was. Think back to time it happened. The Oilers were still fighting the optics left behind by Pocklington and Sather was the only guy that the fans ever really knew running the team. The Oilers OFF ICE was a bigger priority than the Oilers ON ICE and the EIG never tried to hide that.
If there is any real critisism it would be the duration of their tenures, atleast form a coaching point of view, but that is an entirely different debate.
November 19 2008, 03:09PM
Bob - Rick hit the nail on the head with this comment:
...coaches bringing in assistants that they are familiar with is not unique to MacTavish
Coaches like to pick their own assistants from the stockpile of guys they know, and it makes a good deal of sense to me.
Rick - I well remember the fears that Lowe would jump ship with Sather; it was a dark time. I'm probably largely in the minority, but I think that the vast majority of times a coach is fired, it was the GM who was at fault. Switching coaches generally gives an artificial boost in performance, because players know the knives are out, but generally it isn't the coach's fault, IMO. The obvious exceptions are where the coach is blatantly against the grain: Yawney/Melrose are recent examples.
MacTavish was a little rough the first couple of years, but he's evolved into an excellent tactician, and his player development is first rate. I'm not usually a big fan of his first-quarter experiments, and he's sub-par with goaltenders and powerplays, but he's well above league average in enough areas that I'm content with him. Basically, it boils down to the fact that I'm reasonably confident a replacement would be a downgrade.
November 19 2008, 03:11PM
Oh, and to everybody: I'm not going anywhere. Wanye's got the facts correct in the post below this, but basically the fellows running this site (DJ and Wanye) have been extremely professional and easy to get along with. Any problems that come up are usually a result of me not communicating things clearly - and fortunately they're pretty patient guys.
November 19 2008, 03:16PM
"professional and easy to get along with" - take THAT parole officer.
November 19 2008, 03:33PM
KP was hired sometime ago and wasn't an "Oilers" guy. Can't dispute his improvement of the scouting and developmental group.
Olcyk was a smart hire too. Lawyer. Former consultant to the NHLPA. Young, numbers guy.
Bob Mancini was not involved with the Oilers before and is there Development Coach.
The Buchberger ascent is a head scratcher for sure, but including Tambellini, that's 4 key guys who were uniquely qualified for their roles.
With Moores, Buchburger, and Huddy all at contract end this year -- we may see some interesting change.
November 19 2008, 06:24PM
First to John Mackinnon at the Edmonton Urinal, because I know you read these blogs. Yeah, blogs, something that Canwest only recently noticed exist, hence the emphasis on them. While I write this, maybe Lenny Asper should post a blog instead of his mass emailings to staff all across the chain about what a sad life it is when you spend more money than you have.
John, I am writing this under a pseudonym, something that I am loathe to do. Remember as you pontificate to us about anonymous callers and posters that because we don't have to fear retribution we can call a spade a spade with the Oilers, unlike the majority of the local media who have been ultra easy on MacT.
Does anyone really think that Mr. K is going to have a wholesale housecleaning until he sees exactly how the organization is run, from top to bottom?
I see a major wiping of the slate coming within a year, regardless of how the Oil do. The championship tradition is a memory of what it once was. Katz didn't get to be where he is by making bad decisions in business and not learning from them.
Relax everyone, Bucky and the boys will be working elsewhere in a year.
November 19 2008, 06:39PM
Olczyk was an excellent hire, and maybe it's just me, but I get very excited when I hear words like "salary grid" coming out of Oilers head office.
Prendergast was a nice steal from Central Scouting back when the Oilers were winning cups, and his record speaks for itself. Mancini seems like another good hire.
Prendergast, Mancini, Olczyk
November 20 2008, 12:23AM
Kelly Buchberger would be one of them.
November 20 2008, 11:23AM
At the time of the hiring of Lowe and MacTavish, was there necessarily any qualified candidates who wanted to muddle along with a mediocre franchise that seemed destined to finish 7th to 10th in perpetuity?
'Offering' Rob Daum a scouting position so Bucky could be an assistant is a blatant example of Boys on the Bus helping each other. Daum was a successful university coach that could have brought fresh ideas and a different approach to the team. His value is weakened by being a scout. Bucky is a Mac T clone and oving forward I don't see that as progress.
November 20 2008, 01:11PM
Canwest Global 0.68 per share down 90% from 2007 - Oilersnation - Priceless Lets just face the fact that we are bored with a non playoff team with a coach that has been here too long - without the blip in 2006 - would MacT be here still - Lowe has a job for life with Batman until he desires to take Bettman's place back in NYC - remember the Oiler mantra - one step forward - one step back - tease the fans with some splash and dash every 2nd and 3rd game like a high school girlfriend - never let go - what could of been.... bottom line is trade the 4 or 5 non producers on this team and start over - sell Penner while you still can - we only lost multiple draft picks on this guy - we were ALL in shock and liking the fact that Burke was pissed off - it created a distraction that if we added up all of our dimes that - we could have TWO superstars on this team via free agency if we didn't settle for second best playing like 3rd and fourth liners - bottom line is I am hoping rock bottom hits so we can clean house and start with a coach that is respected by the fans - players and management - at this point - guessing who that is - is anyone's guess - as the economy cracks it will be interesting to see how many teams fold and players are looking for new homes on lower contracts - can you say Mario three times fast - he had to take the team as a creditor....
November 20 2008, 01:25PM
Shakey - What I wrote about Daum in May:
The big thing I dislike here is the rumoured Buchberger-Daum swap. If Daum is so valuable at analyzing players, bump him into a management position or keep him coaching. Beyond apprenticing Buchberger for an eventual head coaching gig, what does promoting him do? Certainly many of these ex-Oilers are quality guys with a decent skillset, but are they really the most qualified candidates out there?
November 20 2008, 04:19PM
JW -My point was, you couldn't mention all the previous assistant coaches and nepotism while not bringing up Buchberger. If Kelly was solely Mac T's choice, then it reflects poorly upon him. Guy had a good post on Kelly back in April here. The qualities Guy lists doesn't give me much hope for Buchberger ever coaching a skilled team.

What about a rear-outlet, floor-mounted toilet?
(I learned about these from this web-site; thanks!)
Since the outlet is 4" of so above the floor, this
would maintain the height advantage, correct? Must
the waste line turn downward immediately after the
flange, or could it run horizontally from that point
(with the required drop, of course)? Thanks for your
help so far. Great site!

The San Rafael Swell is the setting for Lee Nelson's newest book, "Born to Rope," which will be released soon. Dianne Butler, media specialist for San Rafael Junior High arranged for Nelson to do a presentation at the school. Nelson told the students, "I am the most read author at the Utah State Prison. One time I went there to do a presentation for 300 prisoners in blue shirts. I told them it was great to have such a captive audience. They booed. I guess that wasn't funny to them. Then I told them I felt right at home because I write books about killers, bank robbers and horse thieves and they cheered.
"I have written approximately 30 books. Most writers are avid readers. If you want to be a writer some day, you must be an avid reader. If you read a lot you will know what a good sentence is when it's time to write one. It is hard to write about a subject you know very little about. You must do your research. Research is not boring, it can be fun," said Nelson.
Nelson shared the story of how he came to shoot a buffalo from a horse. First he practiced at an arena shooting cows with blunt tip arrows. He trained two horses and after a few training sessions the horse knew what to do. Nelson said he practiced at least a 100 times until it became easy. When the horse was trained it became time to shoot a live, moving buffalo. Nelson ended up buying a buffalo for $550 from a man who raised them. They placed the buffalo in a trailer and hauled it south of Tooele. The buffalo owner warned Nelson that buffalo can outrun horses and can be very dangerous and will turn on a horse. He knew of horses that had been killed by the horns of the buffalo.
Nelson had a large group of people with him on the buffalo hunt including many children. The children were placed in a horse trailer and told not to come out. The buffalo was released and began to run up the valley. Nelson and his horse raced after the buffalo and he was able to shoot it and puncture its lung. Blood began to come out of the nose of the buffalo. It remained on its feet for 50 yards before going down. While Nelson was pursuing the buffalo the children had let themselves out of the horse trailer and were running after the horse and buffalo on foot yelling at the top of their lungs.
Nelson skinned the buffalo Indian style with an obsidian blade. Nelson said the blade worked really well. He also tried a bite of raw buffalo testicle which was a bit chewy. "I don't recommend it," said Nelson.
Nelson is also completing research for a book on Genghis Khan of Mongolia. He told about going to Mongolia and riding horses across their land. They still live much the same as they did in the days of Genghis Khan; herding animals on public lands and living in tents. The Mongolians conquered all the civilized countries and they did it American Indian style by horseback. Mongolia has a harsh climate which ages the people. They eat a lot of dairy products and their favorite drink is fermented mare's milk. "It tastes like watered down yogurt," said Nelson.
Nelson said he usually spends about two years researching a book before he begins. He begins with an outline after the research and he sorts the information in order. He begins with a rough draft where he lets the words flow to get them onto the page. He said some writers have a hard time starting because they want their work to be perfect the first time. He said a sure cure for writers block is just to get started and something will happen. One other clue he gave was to end the day's writing in the middle of a sentence or an exciting scene and it is easier to pick it up again the next day. Nelson said his favorite time to write is 6 a.m. where he can get a couple of good hours of writing in before the interruptions of the day begin. He writes for two-three hours each day, unless he is nearing the end of a book when he sometimes will write for hours.
Nelson told the group about the novel he completed for Mark Twain. Twain had a partially finished manuscript about Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer: Among the Indians. Twain didn't finish the story which stops where the kidnapped girls are found in an Indian camp. Nelson contacted Twain's Foundation and obtained permission to finish the book. Twenty percent of the royalties on the book go to the Mark Twain foundation. Nelson didn't change any of Twain's words just picked up the story where Twain left off.
Nelson said he owns a publishing company and receives approximately 1,000 manuscripts a year which he goes through searching for material to publish.
Nelson's first book was published in 1979 when he was 39 years old.

Blame it on the heat, the economy, or the summer break from school, but violent crimes in Springfield have gone up significantly in the past week. Police Sergeant John Delaney says the Springfield Police Department has received about a dozen reports of shots fired, with several incidents resulting in injuries or fatalities. Delaney says many of the recent incidents have involved what he calls "street gangs" whose members are between thirteen and twenty years old.
"They run around the streets, they scribble on walls, but they carry guns," he says. "Just last Friday, a sixteen-year-old was arrested for murder, and then a couple days later we had another sixteen-year-old with a gun near the Forest Park section who was shooting his gun off in the air. [He] thought it was amusing until he was arrested, and the gun was recovered."
Delaney adds the recent shootings have not been random.
"They are shootings where the intended victim was shot at, and the people that are doing the shooting are getting arrested."
Delaney says despite the recent violent altercations, crime on the whole – including break-ins, robberies, and assaults – has been down in the city.
Boston has also seen a surge of violence in recent weeks, including a shooting that killed three 22-year-old women and wounded another in the Dorchester neighborhood on Sunday night.

Watch Morgan Rielly's Game Three assist with Russian commentary
Cam Charron
August 13 2012 08:47PM
2012 Maple Leafs first rounder and No. 5 overall pick Morgan Rielly is in Halifax this week for Games Three and Four of the Canada-Russia challenge, the last two of the four game series designed to honour the 40th anniversary of the 1972 Summit Series. Rielly had an assist in the first game and a goal in the second, but this assist in the third game is a very pretty play.
Rielly intercepts an Anton Slepyshev breakout, dekes around Kirill Kapustin but doesn't have a lot of space or options. He sees Jonathan Huberdeau breaking to the net and fires a pass that eludes both Russian defenders. It really is a thing of beauty.
August 14 2012, 07:22AM
Wow, that goal was all Rielly.

This was a fun tour, and Viator, the booking company, and also the Segway company were great! I got there with a friend and they started teaching us to use the Segway. My friend was not able to get comfortable and aborted the tour. I still went, and thoroughly enjoyed it. And my friend was refunded half of what she paid for the trip. We both thought that was fair. I would use this company again and recommend the tour.
