Skip to comments.NEW ITALIAN CATHEDRAL TO PADRE PIO DESIGNED AS FREEMASONIC TEMPLE
Posted on 07/19/2006 10:40:38 AM PDT by Youngstown
I have just received and am in the process of studying a special issue, #381 (March 2006), of the Italian religious magazine CHIESA VIVA. It is my understanding that in March 2006 this special issue was sent by the publisher/editor of Chiesa Viva, Dr. Monsignor Luigi Villa, to Catholic & 'catholic' priests, Bishops, Cardinals, as well as a selected group of Italian lay persons including members of the judiciary. This entire special issue deals with only one subject, that being the inauguration in July 2004 (construction began in 1996) of the new Cathedral dedicated to Padre Pio of San Giovanni Rotondo. The authors allege that after years of study they are now able to prove that this new church is in fact, NOT a Catholic Church, but rather a Masonic temple!
The authors (the engineer Franco Adessa) further allege that they have analyzed the complete church structure including the entry doors to the church, the altar plus the cross that hovers over it, the chapel of Adoration with the Tabernacle made out of jet black stone with the 13 plaques of silver as well as the immense stone cross that towers 40 meters over the piazza.
The authors allege that Masonic symbols are apparent everywhere. The authors allege that their special issue of Chiesa Viva has put into focus an alleged Masonic plan to DO battle with God by attempting to destroy the Catholic Church with Masonic Ecumenism. According to the authors the most devastating aspect of this blasphemy is the direct insult to the Holy Trinity and Our Lord Jesus Christ that have been symbolically displaced from the Cross and the Tabernacle and replaced by the blasphemous Masonic triple trinity and of Lucifer in person.
The authors allege that this story is one of money, power and control that go to the very top. To date news services around the world seem to be totally unaware of what has allegedly transpired in San Giovanni Rotondo, not one word has been uttered by the Vatican or other officials and millions of devotees to Saint Padre Pio are unaware and would be outraged if they ever suspected that their donations (estimated to be over $250,000,000.00 US) had been used to allegedly defame their beloved Saint!
If these allegations are in fact verified the scandal could be enormous. Millions of Catholics devoted to Padre Pio would be shocked and angry. The scandal would involve huge sums of money, the defamation of a Sainted Priest loved world wide by millions, the undermining of Faith, the undermining of the Catholic Hierarchy. It seems that officially no one in the Vatican is talking about this alleged scandal, even though a special reunion took place in San Giovanni Rotondo, on May 1 through May 6, 2006 attended by 150 Vatican experts including the Secretary of State Sodano. Ostensibly these experts converged on San Giovanni Rotondo to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the founding of the hospital (Casa di Sollievo della Sofferenza) by Padre Pio. Their meetings were open to the public during the day, however, their closed door evening meetings were allegedly dedicated to high level discussions of the Chiesa Viva special issue #381.It was subsequently reported, confidentially, that the Vatican has adopted an official solution that essentially amounts to total silence on this matter! If this is true then the allegations of Chiesa Viva may be much more than allegations and silence on the part of the Vatican is tantamount to conceding victory to Chiesa Viva. How long can this story be kept under wraps before the devotees of Padre Pio find out that they and their saint have been betrayed!?

Funding for an English translation has been secured, however, from private sources, and is now proceeding.
As background, the publisher of Chiesa Viva, Monsignor Luigi Villa, was entrusted by Padre Pio with the mission of ferreting out the Communist and Freemasonic infiltration in the Roman Catholic Church.
Monsignor Villa has been most dilligent in this effort over the past five decades and as a result at least four or five attempts have beeen made upon his life, with two of them putting him into a coma, one of which lasted for six months. He has also had every tooth in his mouth broken.
Others with whom Monsignor Villa has worked have been even more unfortunate.
gasp! The horror.... the horror.... :-)
yeeeesh that's the ugliest cross I've ever seen
Padre Pio and my great grandparents were paesani (from the same area of Italy) (although they never new each other) He knew very well the dangers of Masons--but Italy has been infested with them for a long time.
The Remnant is afraid to print an article about a Freemason takeover? Wow, I thought I'd heard everything.
It's ugly.
Okay, ugly, ping the list. This is crazy propaganda that needs refutation.
1. The main hall of the U.N. General Assembly (church proper);
2. The sketches of M.C. Escher (the cross); and
3. The opening scenes of 2001: A Space Odyssey (the chapel).
Slightly off topic - I'm not Catholic, so much of this is foreign to me. But I've heard of Padre Pio before.
And not in a good way. Apparently, in Northern Ireland, kneecapping and shooting out the elbows is so yesterday. The newest form of punishment shootings over the past couple of years involves having the victim put his hands together as if in prayer. He is then shot through both hands.
They call it the Padre Pio. As I said, I'm not Catholic, but even I must shake my head at that and wonder is there nothing sacred anymore.
One of my great-grandparents was a mason in Italy. What's wrong with the masons?
I'm no fan of Freemasons, but the days of them actually working against the Catholic Church are long over, and that was limited to a few incidents in Europe anyway. This is like an old boogie man tale.
Still, it is against Church law for a Catholic to be a Freemason. It is no longer under the penalty of excommunication, but it is still a grave sin, and the Catholic member may not receive communion.
Vatican Declaration on Freemasonry
Will do as soon as I get home!
Just looked at the pics - that is one uuuugly design. Conspiracy Ping! to read later.
3. The opening scenes of 2001: A Space Odyssey (the chapel).
You mean it looks as if it were inspired by a bunch of primitive apes smashing bones together?
I think in Italy they were far more anti-Catholic, one of reasons RCs so against them. In US Masons not anti-Catholic (today)
I think this is an interesting subject. If you can't receive communion, aren't you in effect Ex-COMMUNION-Cated?
Here's an interesting tidbit from EWTN:
"Presumably, there are few if any Christifidelis readers who are unaware that the bishop of Lincoln, Nebraska, the Most Rev. Fabian W. Bruskewitz, on March 19, 1996, using his legitimate authority to make laws which bind members of his flock, published a legislative pronouncement naming twelve organizations, membership in which was defined to be "always perilous to the Catholic Faith and most often is totally incompatible with the Catholic Faith." (Southern Nebraska Register, March 22, 1996.)
The list of organizations contained in the law includes: the Society of St. Pius X and a chapel served by its priests; three non-Catholic organizations which are openly opposed to and contemptuous of the Church's teaching on the sanctity of human life; the Freemasons and four subsidiary groups. Also named are two organizations whose inclusion is sure to cause the most controversy: Call to Action (CTA) and its Nebraska chapter, Call to Action Nebraska. The legislation went on to state: "Any Catholics in and of the Diocese of Lincoln who attain or retain membership in the above listed organizations or groups after April 15, 1996, are by that very fact () under interdict and are absolutely forbidden to receive Holy Communion. Contumacious persistence in such membership for one month following the interdict on [the] part of any such Catholics will by that very fact () cause them to be excommunicated..."
Finally, Somebody Does Something
That aside, Padre Pio would be very displeased at such a church erected in his honor.
Freemasonry's denial that there is one true religion and promotion of religious indifferentism flies in the face of the
Catholic Church's teachings.
I attended a Masonic ceremony before that was stated very explicitly. The Masons founded the Jacobin movement that triggered the Reign of Terror in the French Revolution. These so-called tolerant Freemasons were responsible for an ancestor's beheading during the French Revolution on account he was a Catholic bishop and a nobleman in 1794.
From the Catholic Encyclopedia:
They were also chiefly behind the Mexican government's persecution of the Catholic Church during the 1910s and 1920s.
For a Catholic to support Freemasonry in any way is a bit like a Jew to support the Nazis.
Ya don't think the Masons have gotten to them too, do ya?
Yikes........this is scary!!!!!
Email this directly to Msgr. Ganswein at the Vatican and he'll go directly to Pope Benedict. Do not send this to Levada at the CDF. If you do, make sure you leave town immediately or at the very least change the locks on your home. He can't be trusted.
In the meantime, take a look at this!!!! After you've done so, immediately change your FR tag. Not too many of us know about this and those who do are being tracked by the powers of evil.
Good luck and keep us posted.
Couldn't agree more.

Wow! You have some interesting family history there. That's sad about your ancestor, but yes, these things did happen and many refuse to acknowledge it today.
Ya know what is scary? It also resembles the stone at Mecca if you stretch it out.

Sorry for the LATE ping -- business travel had me away from the personal computer (again!).
To the ping list, that was directed at pravknight
Thanks for the ping, it's always fun to read the mental gyrations these twilight zone, fantasy-landers put themselves though ~ they are hilarious infants!
Thanks for the ping!
First of all, Freemasonry is NOT a religion, a religious organization, and therefore, has ALWAYS been tolerant of people who are of different religious beliefs. Of course they deny that there is one and only only one "true religion" and HOOOOOOOOOORAY for them, for that!
If your ancestor personally met Madame Guillotine, it was because he was an aristo...NOT because he was a Catholic Bishop and the Masons had NOTHING at all to do with that; unless you want to blame ALL Masons for Guillotine's invention, since he was a Mason. He was also a Catholic, BTW.
It would really help you, if you actually knew and understood factual history, before you posted. First of all, There was a JACOBITE movement, in England, which had to do with the Revolution of 1688. most Jacobite were ROMAN CATHOLIC! Though some were indeed Masons, they had NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with the French Revolution! The Jacobites wanted to restore the Stuart Monarchy to the English throne. And FYI...The Jacobite Movement was added and abetted by the Vatican and Jesuits, who the last time I looked, were part of the Catholic church.
It was these Jacobite Masons, who fled to Holland, which actually began the anti-Masonic junk, because the Dutch were troubled by them and that they were meeting to thrown a spanner in the works, with the Duke of Orange, who was then sitting on the throne of England. This then led to what I'll call "uneasiness" within the realms of some of the crowned heads of Europe and the Catholic church.
Just as there are good and bad apples in every race, religion, ethnicity, and social groups, you shouldn't blame an entire group for a few bad apples. Have there been "bad" , IRREGULAR ( which means Masons in name only and even that, not legit! )"Masonic groups"? Yes, there have been and that is exactly what was the genesis of the first Papal Bull, written by Pope Clement XIX, in 1738 based on Cardinal Corisini's input. OTOH, the original Bull WAS probably written against one or two Italian Masosnic groups. It is still questionable that it was meant for all of Freemasonry.
And to prove this point, I offer you the words of Cardinal Corisini, whose letter to the Grand Duke of Tuscany said that "Freemasonry had begun in England as an amusement or decent diversion but...has degenerated in Italy, and has become a school of ungodliness." He was BTW, referring to their habits OUTSIDE of Masonry.
Yet, it was and apparently still is, for some, the fact that Freemasonry has always espoused freedom of association, tolerance, and free speech, that drove the RCC to distraction. You just can't have any of THAT, now can we. LOL
After escaping to England, from France, a French priest, Abbe Barruel was the first, in a landslide of books and pamphlets for and against the proposition that the French Revolution was started by Masons. John Robinson was another pamphleteer, who stated that this was true. Reynold's Wrap hadn't been invented yet, but both of these men were wrapped, mummy-like, in it! Diederot had been a Mason, but Marat, Danton, and Robespierre weren't and nothing any of these men did, has anything to do with Freemasonry.
No serious historian believes that Mason started and carried out the French Revolution; not a one! This is as nutty and spurious as any Stone conspiracy movies and the blasted PORTOCOLS OF THE ELDERS OF ZION!
Your last sentence is false, disgusting, vile, libelous, and beneath contempt! You owe every single Mason, living and dead, and every member of their extended families, a public apology.
Gee dixie, I guess you were right...that history lesson had to be rewritten. :-)
You should leave FR right now....FR does NOT, in any way, shape, manner, or form, claim that there is but one "true" religion. Run away......run away.......................run from here as fast as you can. :-)
It's even worse than that, my friend.
Dangers of Masons? You better loosen your tin foil chapeau, it is really affecting your judgement.
You are seriously incorrect, but as you are also obviously a zealot, to expect a rational discussion with you would be a bridge to far.
You have my pity.
It's grounds for excommunication (as Bishop Fabian Bruskiewicz of Lincoln, Neb. did to his flock) since it goes against canon law in regards to secret societies. There have been encyclicals written about the ills of freemasonry.
Heobviously never heard the story of the Forget-Me-Not.
Sheesh! Wonder what the buzz would be if the muzzies found an S&C somewhere on their black stone ediface?
Bottom line, it's all about free-association. Some can, some can't. Proud to be a Freemason who has no such restriction.
But in truth, the muzzies are more restrictive about that. They don't excommunicate their flock -- they just axe 'em.
Ad hominem.
You should leave FR right now....FR does NOT, in any way, shape, manner, or form, claim that there is but one "true" religion. Run away......run away.......................run from here as fast as you can. :-)
Look again at what Pravknight said:
Freemasonry's denial that there is one true religion and promotion of religious indifferentism flies in the face of the Catholic Church's teachings.
If you are a Christian, then there can only be ONE true religion and you shouldn't promote indifferentism. It is Catholic teaching and we have a right as Catholics on the religion forum to voice our beliefs as others have a right to voice theirs. It's America, freedom of speech, remember? FR also promotes that.
We have a young man in my Lodge who's Grandfather wore the Forget Me Not.
Quite a story-one that does not need to be forgotten-or diminished by idiots that equate Masons to Nazis.
I don't usually respond to conspiracy loons like this "knight" because they prove that arguing with the stupid is a exercise in frustration.
But sometimes, they provoke me, and I have to respond
You should learn what an ad hominem is, before you claim someone else made one. I was responding to a mother-load of ad hominems; none of which you had any problems with. :-)
And since Freemasonry is NOT now, nor has it EVER been a religion or a religious affiliated group, but a FRATERNAL ORGANIZATION, where is your complaints against the Moose, the Rotarians, and the Elk? :-)
It is like mud-wrestling with pigs.
The ills of Freemasonry?????
Such as? Give some real ills and not any conspiracy ridden tripe wrapped in false religious trappings.
Yessir, it is
They wallow in their ingorance
Umm...nobody said that. You are jumping to conclusions.
You should learn what an ad hominem is, before you claim someone else made one. I was responding to a mother-load of ad hominems; none of which you had any problems with. :-)
Personally, I had not even addressed you when I get a ping from you stating this:
And some of you live in another, tinfoil covered, universe.Post #34
Not to mention in that post, you oh so unkindly invited me to leave FR.
Our enemies are the Isalamist killers, and if Chistians don't work very hard together, they will ultimately wipe us out.
Meanwhile, anybody who reads A WORLD LIT ONLY BY FIRE by William Manchester will through a well documented history book enlighten you that nobody, but nobody is perfect, except for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Posted on 09/07/2010 5:02:01 PM PDT by The Magical Mischief Tour
UNIONDALE, N.Y. (CBS 2) He was arrested for protecting his property and family.
But its how the Long Island man did it that police say crossed the line.
He got an AK-47 assault rifle, pulled the trigger and he ended up in jail, reports CBS 2s Pablo Guzman.
George Grier said he had to use his rifle on Sunday night to stop what he thought was going to be an invasion of his Uniondale home by a gang he thought might have been the vicious MS-13. He said the whole deal happened as he was about to drive his cousin home.
I went around and went into the house, ran upstairs and told my wife to call the police. I get the gun and I go outside and I come into the doorway and now, by this time, they are in the driveway, back here near the house. I tell them, you know, Can you please leave? Grier said.
Grier said the five men dared him to use the gun; and that their shouts brought another larger group of gang members in front of his house. He starts threatening my family, my life. Oh youre dead. Im gonna kill your family and your babies. Youre dead. So when he says that, 20 others guys come rushing around the corner. And so I fired four warning shots into the grass, Grier said.
Grier was later arrested. John Lewis is Griers attorney. What hes initially charged with A D felony reckless endangerment requires a depraved indifference to human life, creating a risk that someones going to die. Shooting into a lawn doesnt create a risk of anybody dying, Lewis said.
Grier said he knew Nassau County Police employ the hi-tech ShotSpotter technology in his area and that the shooting would bring police in minutes. Cops told Guzman he was very cooperative.
Grier also said he was afraid the gang outside his house was the dreaded MS-13. And Nassau County Police Lt. Andrew Mulraine, head of the gang unit, said MS-13 has 2,000 members in the county.
Theyre probably the most organized. They almost have a military hierarchy within the gang, so they are the most organized gang we encounter on a daily basis, Mulraine said.
You may think a person has the right to defend their home. But the law says you can only use physical force to deter physical force. Grier said he never saw anyone pull out a gun, so a court would have to decide on firing the gun.
Police determined Grier had the gun legally. He has no criminal record. And so he was not charged for the weapon. That ShotSpotter technology pinpoints where a gun has been fired within 35 feet. Police said it also detected two other shootings in nearby Roosevelt that night.
Problems with ROE?
If a free citizen cannot be allowed to possess a fully-functional AK 47, then he is not a free citizen.
I don't doubt something happened but the whole thing sounds kind of far-fetched. Seems some details were left out like why was this homeowner targeted in the first place?
You lost your country in Nov 2008 and every TV network and TV channel support him and Islam. My only hop is MS-13 decides to invade the Hamptons.
I think tea partiers should get involved in things like this.
"AK-47...When you positively, absolutely, have to kill every mutha——er in the room!" — Samuel L. Jackson from the movie "Jackie Brown."
I doubt he had an AK auto. MSM lying again.
They are already there, and have been for years now. Its just that the Southhampton and East Hampton police keep them out of the celebutards hair during the summer months.
Long Island is a mess. NY Gun laws are a mess. Shots into the ground was the problem. Don't bring it out if you ain't gonna use it.
New York has no "Castle" laws. You must retreat, even from inside your own home. The criminals, both political and judicial rule the roost. This guy will fry unless he gets real help.
Not a good case to challenge existing NY gun laws nor for the Tea Partiers to get up in arms about (pun-intended).
Like the previous poster mentioned, there has to be more to this story . . .
Christ, I wish people would think tactically.
You cannot possibly own the ground outside with multiple subjects from multiple angles. But let them come inside the house to get you, stack them in a hallway or on a staircase.
You are also much more legally covered. A guy walking up on your grass, trespassing. A guy walking into your door, home invasion and very, very hard to prosecute criminally.
Shoot up your own house, no big deal. Put rounds downrange throughout the neighborhood, bad juju.
Lay the weapon down and stand away from it with hands exposed and immediately comply with the officers instructions when they arrive. Do not run up to them, don't try to "give" the gun to them. Just put it down and stand away from it.
Give your name and address then ask to talk to your attorney and answer no questions. Make sure that you don't say anything other than I thought he/she/they were going to kill me and do NOT ELABORATE. Then just state you no longer want to speak without the benefit of an attorney.
Don't bargain or accept their sympathies or threats. Just be quiet and sit quietly until you are either booked or released.
You must get an attorney if you've shot someone. Hopefully this will never happen to any FReepers, but remember that there are people in jail and have been civilly sued because of statements made in fear, excitement, anger and relief. I am not an attorney but have had experience with police officers both good and not so good.
They have a similar problem, they have experience with the public both good and not so good.
Wait inside until they kick in the door and then shoot to kill. Go through as many wallets as you can before the police arrive.
Thats why I love Texas, you can now use deadly force in a situation like this to defend your property. Then there is still on the books the after sundown law where you can use legal force. We had a similar situation in Dallas where a good Hispanic man emptied 30 rounds into a car outside his house of gang bangers after dark. He was no-billed by the DA. Not condoning any of this just saying you have a lot more legal choices in Texas.
What does it take to defend ones property lawfully against the unlawful legally, a paintball gun?
Defending his property against miscreants and HE is the one behind the legal eight ball because of 2nd amendment hair splitting.
A disgusting show of American freedom IMO.
When ShotSpotter technology is employed in your area, you know it's probably time to move.
by the way under the law there is no such thing as a warning shot. Once you fire a gun you no longer have control of that round and its considered deadly. Something all hunters should be taught never fire unless you know what is behind your target and where a missed bullet will end up. I have not fired great shots I had at deer when I was not sure of the ability of the the bullet to go over a hill or into someplace I was not sure of. Thats why a shot gun is better in an urban attack like this. you have a lot less chance of shooting your neighbors kid in bed with a shotgun pellet than a supersonic rifle bullet.
Not to worry..........soon the police will not respond to these calls and with the rat politicians disarming the law abiding civilian population thru legislation and regulation you might as well kiss your a## goodbye
The only thing you have to do to attract attention from MS-13 is stare at one for a microsecond to long. In this case I think the cousin is the key.
A guy who say's to a man holding an AK47, you havent the nerve to shoot is one crazy gangbanger.
Well the guy got charged, but he is alive. Thanks to his weapon.
A man, protecting his wife, children, and home - after being threatened verbally with death by 20 gang members, is the one charged by the police.
This country has become a farce.
Meanwhile, the Federal Government won't enforce its own immigration laws, and sues the one state that at least attempts to find out who is even here illegally!
Good post.
In the meantime....
That's the one....
Among the places where I would never live Long Island comes immediately to mind.
Please take your courteous and valuable advice somewhere else.
That's good common sense whatever state you find yourself in.
We all know the cops won't be there if they come back and they will probably come back.
Nowhere in the article do I see the word "auto" or "automatic" used to describe the weapon.
I think you should let the bad guys get one of your kids, or your wife, before you even think about discharging your weapon. That is, if you want to avoid prosecution.
Grier said the five men dared him to use the gun; and that their shouts brought another larger group of gang members in front of his house. He starts threatening my family, my life. Oh youre dead. Im gonna kill your family and your babies. Youre dead.
Firing some warning shots into the ground under these circumstances constitutes a "Depraved indifference to human life? "
It would have been a depraved indifference to the safety of his family if Mr Lewis's had not done at least that.
Preview of coming attractions. Use of firepower against vicious MS-13 gang members is completely justified in the "castle defense" doctrine. The safe world most of us knew as children is gone completely. Now it is defend yourself with sufficient firepower to save yourself and your home from invasion.
We will be learning of these types of stories almost everywhere since our federal government has surrendered control of our borders to masses of illegal criminals invading our country. Buy an AK47 before the authorities outlaw the weapon.
My apologies...I completely mis-read your intentions.
It is I who need to sharpen up a bit. More coffee please.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with someone wanting to own one, it does not indicate terrorist or criminal tendencies.
An AK47 is full auto and so highly regulated by the feds as to be next to impossible to own.
Great advice and this is exactly what we were taught in our CHL class in TX. I even signed up with an attorney at $15 or so per month so I'll have someone to call immediately in the unlikely event this ever happens.
No problem! (I never use sarcasm tags.)
and since hes unarmed fer sure, and possibly in lock-up as well, heres hoping that he and the mrs bought his & hers rifles...or that they have some family and friends to pull watch...
Assuming this story is as it is presented in the article then, unfortunately, the smartest thing for his family would be to get out and stay somewhere else for a while. Retreat stinks but who is prepared to take on thugs like that without the man of the house and probably no serious weapons?
Don't sprain your arm patting yourself on the back. lol
Maybe he cut them off in traffic. I was making a perfectly legal right turn onto an Albuquerque boulevard one day and it conflicted with an illegal u-turn being made by the driver of a car full of gang bangers. I didn't yield to them which cut him off and forced him to hit the brakes and fall in behind my truck.
That really made them mad and they followed me several blocks taunting me to pull over. They even drove up into a parking lot parallel to the street to try and get ahead of me on the right side of me.
The house is flammable.
Wait, you meant as the home owner...
If you look too long at any of these thugs, you become a target. They will use any excuse to cause harm to another.
This man will be on Fox news within the hour.

6 Months And Nothing... Onto RogaineIve used Revivogen for 6 months and havent noticed any benefit at all. If anything, Ive continued to lose hair. I recently added Rogaine extra strength as part of my routine (Rogaine morning, Revivogen evening), and Im now switching to twice a day Rogaine (i.e., no Revivogen). May look into Propecia as well.Aug 2, 2006Steve / New York, NYC

Does Not Work For MeIve used this continuously for 4 months and there are no signs of regrowth. In fact, my hair loss has not decreased at all. Personally, Im going back to Regaine. Im not saying Revivogen is not a good product. It just did not work for me. Regaine is also greasy but at least I felt it helped me more than revivogenJul 31, 2006Marc / UK

Stopped Hair LossI used Revivogen for 5 months and my shedding has virtually stopped. I think some of my hairs are actually thicker specially over the top of my scalp. Two years of Propecia did nothing for me.Jul 23, 2006Chriss / San Francisco, CA

Revivogen Is Part Of My RoutineBeing a bartender in Miami I have to make sure I look good. Going the gym, surfing when I can and trying to eat the right foods is part of that, but they donât stop hair loss. Revivogen is part of my routine and man it has kept my hair line in check even though I keep my hair very short the hair line lets people know I am not going bald at 33. I have been using Revivogen for 7 months now and it works for me and itâs natural so I donât worry about side effects ruining my life away from the bar. A lot of other over the counter stuff simply is marketing hype, but this stuff has a real doctor behind it and they were quick to let me know about their gaurantee if I was not happy. Im happy.Jul 17, 2006Tito / Miami

Works For Me!!!I have been using revivogen for approx 4 months now and Im seeing very good results. When I first ordered it I was very skeptical however after the first month of use I began to notice less hair loss and also the appearance of tiny hairs. At first I thought I was imagining things however with continued daily use the tiny hairs are becoming thicker and longer and are now clearly visible. My fiance tells me that my hair looks thicker and fuller especially in the frontal area. One drawback is that Revivogen is very oily and kind of messy to use so I wouldnt recommend using it during the day. I usually put it on at night before I go to bed. Just wanted to share my experience with this product with everyone. I know it probably doesnt work for everyone but hey, if you are losing your hair give it a shot, it sure is working for me. Two thumbs up!!!!Jun 30, 2006B Liu

Increased Shedding.I used Revivogen for 4 months, and it only caused one thing; increased shedding. Just a few days after I quit the product, my shedding was back to normal! Another thing that was even more disappointing; Revivogen did not even answer my mails!!!!! Very unprofessional, and this has made me conclude that Revivogen is not a serious product.After doing some reading on different hairloss forums, there are some things that pop up frequently:a)Very few success stories.b)Many reports of increased shedding.c)Speculations that the ingredients "cancel" each other out (because of the "kitchen sink" approach of the product).d)The trial that Revivogen has been talking about for many years now - what happened to it?Jun 30, 2006Tommy

It Really WorksI have been using Revivogen for the past 3 years and I havent used anything better form my hair. I had tried Rogaine, Propecia, and Saw Palmetto suppliments and my hair was still falling big time. A friend of mine recommended Revivogen and although I didnt really think it would work I tired it anyways. Within three months my hair loss was stopped and I could see little hairs on my scalp that where not there before. It has been three years now and I have regrown most of my hair back. My friend who recommended Revivogen to me is having similar results. The product is reletively expensive but its really worth it.Apr 30, 2006Mike / Las Vegas, NV

Kinda OkThis product is expensive, smelly and oily.When I first started to use it it worked amazingly stopping hair loss and giving good regrowth but after 2 months this stopped and i was back to square one....i think the first 2 months were just a shock effect on the hair folicals then they became use to the solution.Its worth a try but its certainly no cure : (Feb 23, 2006Anonymous

Skip to comments.UPS Ends Grants to Boy Scouts Over Discrimination
Posted on 11/13/2012 10:53:41 AM PST by massmike
The philanthropic arm of shipping giant UPS said it will no longer give money to the Boy Scouts of America as long as the group discriminates against gays, the second major corporation to recently strip funding from the scouts. The UPS Foundation made the change Thursday after an online petition protesting its annual grants to the Boy Scouts attracted more than 80,000 signatures. UPS, based in Atlanta, follows computer chip maker Intel in withdrawing corporate support for the Boy Scouts. The UPS Foundation gave more than $85,000 to the Boy Scouts in 2011, according to its federal tax return. Federal tax returns for 2011 for Intel, the world's largest chip maker, were not immediately available. Some media reported the Santa Clara, Calif.-based company as giving hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years.
(Excerpt) Read more at abcnews.go.com ...
Our use of UPS is, most of the time, discretionary.
Hear that, UPS?
Simple response. Stop using UPS services. BOYCOTT!!!
I no longer have any use for UPS.
Didn't James Hoffa tell the UPS union-thugs to take out Republicans?
Looks like they were busy last week in PA and OH.
Screw you UPS....FedEx RULES!
The growing public acceptance of homosexual behavior is bad enough but discriminating via corporate donations against a fine organization that excludes homosexuals on a moral basis is, in my view, a very bad omen for the future of our nation. Then again, Obama was re-elected so we are definitely living in Bizzaro Land, now.
I thought FedEx was run by the unions. Or do I have that backwards?
I emailed UPS and told them how I felt. Probably won't matter, but it made me feel better.
I hate UPS. Our driver throws boxes from his truck, complains whenever we schedule a package pickup that we pay for and when we complain to the company about him the rep or supervisor admonishes us for complaining. I use Fed Ex or believe it or not U.S. Mail.
What the hell are the Boy Scouts to do? If they don't allow gay scout masters, they lose funding. If they do, the gay pedophiles in that group molest young scouts and the Boy Scouts get sued. Kinda looks like checkmate for the scouts.
FedEx is pretty anti-union. I used to work there. They had a poster up that showed that union membership was going down while their driver jobs are going up.
Done! I will no linger use UPS is ther is any other means available (FedEx, USPS, etc.)
Done! I will no longer use UPS is ther is any other means available (FedEx, USPS, etc.)
Now a days, I'm just glad I'm old.
UPS yours, UPS.
Fed Ex'ing from now on.
They say that's exactly why we don't allow queer scoutmasters. We intend to protect the scouts from the disease-ridden, boy-raping whackjobs.
UPS is dead in this house and so are my neighbors
Long Live the Boy Scouts!
Better get rid of all those bodies.
There are some companies that only ship UPS or USPS. Guess those will fail to get our bidness now. The only good thing about UPS was the drivers always gave our dog "puppy treats" when they came to the door.
I stopped giving to the United Way. That was easy.
I can stop using UPS. Even easier.
Have you opened up any of the electronics in your home to see if there is Intel inside?
Maybe not well known to the general public but UPS ships most of the guns and ammo in the US. If I have to send a rifle to an out of state gunsmith it pretty much has to go UPS. Mostly because FedEx are dicks about it and AFAIK you have to have a FFL to ship USPS. Fedex also requires ammo to be shipped adult signature required, which can be a PITA, and UPS will leave it on the porch. I much prefer UPS. So if FedEx were to loosen up their policies and target firearms and ammunition they could poach a lot of business from UPS.
There may be another aspect to be considered about these policy changes. Someone should really look into how these proposals move up through the corporate structure. When I was in Business school they had us read a story called Dodkin's Job by Jack Vance. Ostensibly it was science fiction but it is a classic about organizations, especially linkages and how they work. The main character gets riled up about a directive issued to improve efficiency and takes it upon himself to pursue what idiot promulgated such idiocy and where in the organization it originated. I won't spoil it but it views management as a vast machine and inputs from some weird places can have far reaching effects.
I mention the story because I observed in my company a couple of decades later the same sort of occurrence. I started the company, it grew rapidly and after awhile not everybody knew everybody else. These really weird policies, socially progressive and unnecessary, started to be issued. I had hired a real CEO by that time but thankfully I still had enough juice to look into it. It turns out that they were all originating from some young administrative assistant. I had her sh*tcanned and it all went away.
I think it's worth looking into because one small gay flunky in a large organization could be implementing these policies without the organization itself being aware of it.
I will also be boycotting UPS just as I have boycotted Levis for over 20 years.
I presume that UPS then also wishes to end the Girl Scouts' discrimination against male leaders taking teenaged girls camping?
The queers are out in force, emboldened by the election.
Guys, let's be more sensible about this. step back and look at the big picture. so we're going to boycott UPS because of their withdrawl of the grant. and go with company that has never gave the grant to boy scouts in the first place? because, by defination, (without any info to the contrary) isn't UPS in the same standing now with FEDEX as company that doesn't give money to boy scouts in the first place?
Well, I use USPS anyway since it is cheapter and just as fast.
Open gayness in the BSA makes me uncomfortable. Throw the openly gay boys in with a smattering of pedophyle adult leaders and you've got a scary mixture.
I'd like to see BSA and organizations like it quit taking money from large givers. BSA is probably already too big, bureaucratic and political. One could ask, if BSA accepts money from UPS, is UPS influencing BSA.
Unfortunately, I think the BSA will see it's demise before long.
I would certainly not have had my sons in scouting if I was having to worry about the possibility of sexual abuse..............
Of course I realize that it happened even when gays were not allowed to be Boy Scot leaders-—they could somehow go undetected for a while at least.
Is there one darned thing in this country that the gay/lesbian, etc etc community hasn't ruined for the rest of us?
Like all large organizations, BSA continues to need corporate charity. BSA has been reducing professional headcount for 20+ years by consolidating councils. It is a much leaner organization than it used to be. The future is bleak. More and more corporations are piling on BSA and changing their human resource department regulations for charitable giving to exclude charities which have exclusive membership policies, i.e., no open atheists or homosexuals.
The obvious question that no one so far has raised in these threads is: WTH do the BSA need corporate sponsorship for in the first place? When I was a Scout (1970s, McLean, Va.) I had my own hiking boots, tent, sleeping bag. Little else was needed. Meetings took place at a local church. Trips, e.g. the week of canoeing down the Rappahannock River, didn't cost much and were paid for by ourselves. Duh! What, can't the little sh!ts these days do that without corporate sponsorship, being made to feel like they're Michael Jordan?
I doubt I'd had a better time with an Intel or UPS logo on my boots.
However, today Richie jumped on the Boy Scouts with all four feet when reporting that UPS had dropped their donation to the Scouts because of their stand that their members be 'morally straight' in both the figurative and literally way. He said in effect he was all for not giving an money to an organization that fully supported hate and discrimination of gays.
Guess Richie could also throw most of organized religion as hate organizations like the Boy Scouts--
Now, the other half of RAGE, Greggo, a self-confessed drug addict that brags and makes fun of his continuing hijinks while doped up on Ambien sleep medication. All in good fun, of course.
Well, following on the heels of Richie's blasting the Boy Scouts for their dastardly hate, Greggo goes ballistic on the lack of hate for rivals in the NFL. This brought about by the Chicago Bears' Brian Urlacher shaking hands in apparent congratulations with a Houston Texan player over his interception return of a Jay Cutler pass for a touchdown.
Greggo could just not understand how any NFL player could not show true hate for his opponent and instead show such... such... shall we say "sportsmanship."
If one wonders why the United States is going to hell in a handbag... add sports radio in Dallas, Texas, to the mix--
Do what I'm doing. Go back to Fed Ex.
All I have to say is WTH did Boy Scouting have to do with corporate contributors? I recall my Scout Troop taking care of most of its own finances through a variety of means. We even spent some fraction of our own bucks to make sure that scouts in the troop had tents, then the amount of money to go to the summer camp(s) as well, which by today's standards, was still cheap in comparison to what plenty of kids spend annually on video games. I guess UPS meant that it wouldn't offer sponsorship money, but then again, I guess the support from organized religious congregations isn't what it used to be.

Long ride
Mileage: ~50
January mileage: 351.1
Temperature upon departure: 19
Total riding time: 8 hours, 33 minutes
Total full-tilt falls: 2
I have a little of that serene, drugged-out drowsiness going on right now ... long ride, big dinner, warm house, storm raging outside.
Today I set out just before sunrise with the intention of putting in an 8 to 10-hour ride that would mimic my attack of the Susitna 100. To do that, I had to ride on a lot of soft, rutted trails that are just punchy and slow and there's no way around it (winter riders call this stuff "mashed potatoes" ... in my case, very lumpy mashed potatoes). I rode the ice roads, open snow (about 5 inches of powder)and Caribou Lake itself. I also did a fair amont of pushing. Any food I ate, I ate while pushing. I kept my full stops to an absolute minimum, to keep my core temperature higher, and also because it's the way I deal with the muscle strain of long rides ... just keep moving, moving, moving, and there's less time for hurt.
My odometer crapped out right at the beginning of the ride, so I have no idea how far I actually went. But taking into account trail conditions, pushing hard and fast when I could on the ice roads, and overall time walking with the bike, I think guestimating my average speed at 6 mph is more than fair. Since my stopping time was almost nonexsistent, with 8.5 hours of riding, 50 miles is probably pretty close.
That's half my race distance-wise, and probably about a third of the effort required if conditions are similar or a little worse than what they were today. So I feel pretty good about the day, because I feel pretty good right now.
For all of the calculated logistics involved, today's ride was actually very enjoyable. The distance allowed me to ride out to some of the far reaches of the established snowmachine trails in the area ... windswept, frostbitten swaths of land peppered with mongrel hemlock trees and scrub brush. The snowmachiners I met out there regarded me with varied expressions ranging from subtle amusement to outright indignation. After all, a little mountain bike rolling across the open tundra is an affront to common sense. I don't deny it. My funniest encounter came as I was bombing down a steep and narrow trail. Two snowmachines stopped on the pond below to wait for me to pass. As they waited and watched, I felt compelled to let off the brakes and tear over the trail's mogels like a drunken downhill racer. It's amazing I didn't plant myself, as I did (and did quite well) a couple of times today. As I finally rolled to the safety of the pond and passed by with a hapless wave of my mitten, a little girl sitting in front of her older brother on one of the snowmachines screamed "I told you! I knew it was a girl!"
Several snowmachiners felt compelled to stop and warn me about the storm of the century headed my way. Though a light, misty snow fell most of the day (with about a 30-minute window of sunlight), the weather couldn't have been much better. I did end my ride about an hour early because the snow started to come down hard, and I was a little concerned about my Geo making the 45-minute drive home. Still ... 50 miles ain't bad. I guess I don't know that it was 50 miles. But, as Geoff said to me yesterday, "Eight hours on a bike is eight hours on a bike."

I told you you were a tough gal! I agree with George, by the way, 8 hrs under the conditions you were riding in was the equivalent of 16! To quote Georeg........."DAMN!~"ReplyDelete

I was leaving you a comment that I had posted the same exact picture of bikes and shadows on the same exact day as you (the pictures are pretty darn close), and I see Dan posted one also.

|In response to Re: Inexpensive Bathtubs
: Thanks for the info. If I go fiberglass I will still need to tile. there is a window right in the middle of the long wall of the tub and I'm not looking to remove it as part of this remodel. I've seen pictures of fiberglass tubs with tiled walls, but does it really look funny and stupid if you do that?
: This is a budget remodel to just update the bathroom. It wasn't going to be done at all except the previously installed tub drain was don't wrong and it rusted and then cracked and flooded on me. This is why I havn't considered cast iron because they seem to be at the $300+ rate. if I was going to spend that must, I'd probably get a budget whirlpool at Lowes. There is a $320 unit. but I'm not looking to get into that cost for such little use.
: : With the fiberglass units aqua glass, lasco, and sterling although some of them might be a little more expensive to purchase and install you also do not need the expense of installing an additional tile/solid surface wall surround for the shower enclosure as it is part of the fiberglass tub/shower unit. they are available in wider or deeper styles at less of a price increase. These three mfg. do not require a mortar bed(except for commercial use) but i highly recommend a mortar/plaster bed for all tubs except the cast iron. Aqua glass and lasco are most likely priced higher than you would like since you are comparing to steel tubs, but a sterling vikrell unit is a little lower in price when you consider no extra cost for shower wall surround.
: : I've used the vikrell units for most of my large rental property accounts and a few other budget jobs and everyone has been happy with them so far, no complaints and all repeat customers.
: : just remember when you buy bottom line, you get bottom line...
: : have a mortar/plaster bed put under any tub you choose (no need on cast iron), it will lengthen its life and make a much better install.
: : Good luck,

Electronic Hoo-Haaas, Real Girlz, & Men's Magazines
Dana recently caught her husband red-handed with a receipt for a vibrator. I asked my husband what a man would do with such a vibrator.
He had some theories, but then he went off on a tangent about electronic hoo-haas.
I mean in real detail.
Like they are rubber tubes.
Like some feel like mouths.
Some feel like hoo-haas and others feel like, ahem, other orifices.
Like he's done research...
Can you sense my eyebrows were raised?
He saw those eyebrows and defensively said he'd only read about them in Wired magazine.
Uh-huh! Right-o!
He said that last time when we went to see "Lars and the Real Girl."
He knew ALOT about those REAL girls.

Nice host, and really nice appartment. we enoyed our stay.
The perfect host. Gave some nice recommendations. The appartment was as described, really clean and cozy. Nice area, a park right across the road and authentic athen (not touristic)
Hoping to stay there soon again!
We spent 4 nights in the apartment of Fotis. The apartment, located in a beautiful bay with beach nearby, can relax to enjoy the sea, shops nearby, the capital 50 minutes transit! Greek life, the sun, it was great!
Recommend Vouliagmeni Lake, 3 km (5 euro) by taxi or by bus 171 or E22, a place outside the framework: http://www.limnivouliagmenis.gr/ in which the fish come tickle your feet in water at 22 ° C.
Fotis thank you! and may be soon.
Nous avons passé 4 nuits dans l'appartement de Fotis. L'appartement, situé dans une baie superbe avec plage à proximité, permet de se reposer de profiter de la mer, des commerces à proximité, la capitale à 50 minutes de transport en commun ! La vie grecque, le soleil, ce fut super !!
A recommander le lac de Vouliagmeni, à 3 km ( 5 euro) en taxi, ou par le bus 171 ou le E22, lieu hors du cadre : http://www.limnivouliagmenis.gr/ dans lequel les poissons viennent vous chatouiller les pieds dans une eau à 22°C.
Merci Fotis !! et peut être à bientôt.
Very good reception from Fotis who is very friendly and takes the time to advise and assist guests during their stay in Athens.
The apartment is nice, spacious and quiet thanks to double-glazing but the street is not noisy. Shops nearby, very convenient ...
We only stayed 2 nights but we'll definitely be back!
Très bon accueil de la part de Fotis qui est très sympathique et prend le temps de conseiller et d'aider ses hôtes pour leur séjour à Athènes.
L'appartement est bien agréable, spacieux et calme grâce aux double vitrages mais la rue n'est pas bruyante. Des commerces à proximité, très pratiques...
Nous ne sommes restés que 2 nuits mais nous reviendrons sans hésiter!
Fotis is the perfect host, there to answer all our questions and taking care of its visitors. We had a great time in Athens, the apartment was very comfortable and functional with a special mention for the balcony. We highly recommend this host and we hope to return soon.
Fotis est un hôte parfait, présent pour répondre à toutes nos questions et qui prend soin de ses visiteurs.

Nous recommandons vivement cet hôte et nous espérons revenir prochainement.
. Thanks for everything. We enjoyed our stay
here. If we decide to return someday would rent the same apartment. People in Greece it´s very friendly and the city is bery beautiful.
Spacious, comfortable and well equipped. Sunny balcony with view. Host helpful.
Appartement spacieux, confortable et bien équipé. Balcon bien exposé avec vue dégagée. Hôte serviable.
Very nice host. He gave us useful information about Athens and Varkiza.
The apartment was well located near shops, beach and public transport. We did some clearing before we used the kitchen and shower. You live between Greek families, which makes you feel home very quick.
Such a pleasant stay! Fotis was very helpful and he provided a lot of information regarding not only the neighborhood but also the top attractions in Athens.
The studio was well-maintained and everything was provided. I am a light sleeper and the double-glazed windows really helped. The location is very convenient. I would definitely stay again. 5 stars for sure!! Thank you Fotis.
Fotis was very welcoming and shared suggestions of where to go in our brief stay. Contact and meeting arrangements worked as planned. The apartment is extremely spacious and well equipped in a family friendly area with easy transport links to both central Athens and the coastal suburbs and Marinas.I would recommend this host and accommodation for both families and adult groups who want to stay in a safe accessible neighbourhood.

The Lion on the loose in my neighbourhood. True story.
Hoping a friend is OK, not heard from them today..
Merry Christmas to all...
curious for the Champions league draw tomorrow
When it seems the magic slipped away...
We find it all again on Christmas Day.
*Seeing isn't believing.Believing is seeing.*
If I'm being honest, what's on my mind is concern that a certain someone is going to start showing up here again and fill the board with random, borderline unreadable posts. :(
I love Outdoor Christmas Lights!!
If you don't like a member's posts, can you ignore them? Does this forum have a 'foe' option? On some forums that I use, you can 'foe' a member and then you don't see any of their posts. But I think posts like this one above make the forum seem like an unwelcome and cliquey place, which isn't the case in my experience. Don't we want lurkers and newbies to read posts and feel welcome to join in discussion? I don't think my posts are random or unreadable, but my paranoid side is whispering, "Is he talking about me!?"
Oh - need to check the stove!
I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas
no hes talking about me mike dislikes me alot
n my posts i have him on the off switch so i cant see his posts or replies
thats the best i can do to tolerate it here
i advise him to do the same .
i am here because i <3 christmas
And this shall be a sign unto you: Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, Lying in a manger.

GDB 63: Oilers vs Preds
Jason Gregor
March 03 2009 04:01PM
The only thing busier than the OilersNation as trade deadline approaches is me as I write a GDB while I do my show. That damn Wanye, how can I do two things at once? Oh yeah, the the Oilers play the Predators tonight too.
Liam Reddox draws in on the 1st line and Penner is slotted on the 3rd line with Cogliano and Pisani. Wow this won't upset the NATION in the least will it? I like Reddox's energy, but unless he proves me wrong I just wonder why he is there.
It is interesting, though, that yesterday Steve Ludzik said in my show "Penner's abilities don't fit on the first line. He isn't fast enough nor does he makes the quick little plays. He isn't a fit on the first line." But I will put it out to the Nation: is Reddox that much better? I guess we will see tonight. Remember the first time he replaced Hemsky on that line not Penner, so that line will have an entirely different look against the Preds. J.F Jacques is in tonight on the 4th line and Pouliot will stay on the second line. Nilsson sits again it looks like -- trade bait or dog house? Only time will tell.
I understand putting Jacques in because of size, but Pouliot over Nilsson again is perplexing. Granted Nilsson has done nothing lately, but neither has Pouliot, and in my mind Nilsson still offers more than Pouliot, especially when neither are bringing much to the ice right now.
Aaaaand Pouliot drops his man.
March 03 2009, 06:40PM
@ jeanshorts:
I take exception to that remark!
So the dope is when our second line scores, we're in good shape. All we need is for our first line to show up in the second period and we should be gold.
It's a goalfest tonight in the NHL. holy cow
March 03 2009, 07:00PM
does anybody out there have a web link to the game???
Says a desperate guy
sports web messenger should have it

@ David S: Yeah all the links have disappeared. ALL of them it's crazy. the NHL got to somebody
They must have been breaking some european thumbs....
March 03 2009, 07:10PM
Thats strange, they have the pittsburg game up.
March 03 2009, 07:15PM
That's because no one outside of Pittsburgh gives a crap about it.
March 03 2009, 07:21PM
Completely. Dominated.
How did Arnott miss that open net??
Did MacT give the first line the night off?
Penner told them they should take it easy tonight.
March 03 2009, 07:26PM
Um are we playing in the second period?
BRHL, as much as I hate to admit it MacT is gonna get a couple offers when he is done with the oil. How many coaches have been to the finals? How much did the oil have to work with other than 06' and the Katz years ahead of us. If we would have had Katz money to spend before the lockout we would have had a very competitive team under MacT.
Will you still be singing the same toon a couple of years from now when Gagner and Cogs are scoring 30 per year. The two of them are having a bad season but they will be very experienced for their age and great players in a couple years. This will have been done under T's watch.
I am not a huge supporter of MacT but he is getting a lot of fire because the pro's of the oil arnt performing. When you are getting paid to play in the highest league it is assumed that you will not need a coach to scream in your ear to get motivated. The coach is there to play the lines, set a system and steer the ship. The the players dont move the ship it doesnt matter what coach you have, they will still be motionless.
^ Uhhh...OK.
March 03 2009, 07:32PM
Good tilt. Shea Weber is a beauty. Solid work by Struds to get Weber outta there for a bit.
I keep hearing myself say "Man do we miss Visnovsky."
Haha! Sam's hair looks dryer than Gene's.
March 03 2009, 07:54PM
Is it me or does Pisani look alot faster than he used to be?
March 03 2009, 07:57PM
Thank god Rolli barely played for the first 8 years of his career. He's just reaching his prime.

They rebuilt his leg. Now it's made of titanium and powered by hydraulics. It's pretty simple science really.

Sick tic tac toe play there. That's all there is to it. No defense tonight I guess, for either team.
March 03 2009, 08:08PM
Look at all the running around there. There was four Oilers on one side of the ice. Awesome play in our own end.
AUGH!!! "Back door" goals will be our undoing.
March 03 2009, 08:11PM
@ jeanshorts: Actually that was Jacque's first NHL POINT. I'm surprised they didn't make a big deal of it.
March 03 2009, 08:12PM
The thing about watching the oilers play is you could miss two or three months of watching them play and pick up right where you left them, same guys doing the same things, with the same results. Isn't that the definition of insanity?
WHY do you not shoot Ales!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
March 03 2009, 08:14PM
@ longtimefan:
Yeah, but NEXT YEAR will be the year. We just need to give it more time. And if next year is not the year then THE YEAR AFTER THAT will be it. And so on and so forth for eternity.
March 03 2009, 08:15PM
What the hell. Did the NHL tell all the goalies to take the night off tonight?
March 03 2009, 08:16PM
F__king BRUTAL!!! And to think that this team is 2-3 players away form bieng a good team is a crock of shit. More like 7-8 players!! F Nashville
Cole! NO WAY we should be trading this guy!
Gagner - three point night.
Now if we could get some help from our first line...
March 03 2009, 08:17PM
That's not our first line?
March 03 2009, 08:17PM
And jim jones had 'em fooled with the kool-aid
Sorry. Should have said "first line".
March 03 2009, 08:19PM
Correction noted; and accepted
March 03 2009, 08:20PM
Has Reddox even played tonight? I think I saw him the first period, maybe....
March 03 2009, 08:20PM
Oh crap 2 minutes to go, I wonder who mact is gonna throw out there! Who hasn't played much tonight?
March 03 2009, 08:23PM
@ longtimefan: Penner... That's who he's gonna throw out
One point already. Mission accomplished. Now let's drive the knife in a little deeper shall we?
March 03 2009, 08:26PM
Note to self, play penner more, I'm pretty sure that is what mact was writing
March 03 2009, 08:26PM
Call my math Shaky... But if the Oilers earn the two points and Nashville gets only one... How would they end the night the way they started in the standings? Good analysis there Louie.

EAST CARBON-Our beloved, husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend, Charles Ray Hunter, age 81, passed away on March 20, 2010 after a courageous battle with a lengthy illness. He was born March 17, 1929 to Robert and Margurite Kerr Hunter in Mutual, Utah. He married Norma Tidwell Winder on April 27, 1950. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Manti LDS Temple on Feb. 26, 1977.
Charles learned the value of hard work early; he lost his mother when he was only 14 years old. Charles always held a soft spot for the little ones. He loved them and they loved him. He served his country in the Coast Guard. He worked 42 years in mining and retired from Kaiser Steel in 1991. He was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints where he served in many callings including bishop. He loved the outdoors, hunting, fishing, and gardening. Family and friends benefited from his bountiful harvests.
Charles is survived by his wife, Norma of nearly 60 years; their children: son-in-law, Elmer Haggadone of Rogers, Ark. and his two children: Wondra (Gary) Cooke, and Cash (Christy) Haggadone; Verdis (Claudia) Winder of Randolph, Utah and their four boys: Wayne (Tammy), Robert (Amy), Charley (Elizabeth), and Anthony (Lexi); Sharon (Peter) Kocum of East Carbon and their two boys: Tim Clark (Bridgette) and Cameron Kocum; Doug (Jerri) Hunter of Green River, Wyo. and their three children: April (Mark) Darrough, Brandon Hunter, and JaNell (Eric) Tanner; Rosie (Raul) Mena of East Carbon, Utah and their three children: Scott (Laurie), Bryan (Lisa), and Monica (Jake) Nyland; 41 great-grandchildren; and eight great-great-grandchildren.
Preceded in death by his parents; children: Ronnie Jean Winder, Richard Winder and Phyllis Haggadone; grandchild, Sebestian Clark; and siblings: Dale, Keith, Margurite, and Nedra Hunter.
Funeral Services will be held Saturday, March 27, 2010 at 11 a.m. at the East Carbon LDS Church.

Infertility Surgeries for Women
Depending on the cause of your infertility, surgery may be necessary to help you conceive. In most cases, major abdominal surgery has been replaced with less-invasive laparoscopic or hysteroscopic procedures to diagnose causes of infertility and correct or bypass anatomical problems. The following are some of the most common surgeries performed on women who are trying to conceive.
Hysteroscopy - During this procedure, your doctor inserts a telescope-like device through your cervix to examine your uterus for scar tissue, polyps, or fibroids. If any problems are found, your doctor may be able to correct them during the procedure.
Diagnostic laparoscopy - Laparoscopy requires only one or two small incisions near your navel and at the pubic hair line through which your doctor inserts a laparoscope to examine your abdomen, the outside of your uterus, your fallopian tubes, and bladder. This is often used to diagnose and/or treat uterine fibroids, endometriosis, ovarian cysts, and other fertility problems.
Laparotomy - Laparotomy requires a larger incision in the abdomen and is used for open exploration of the abdomen and pelvis and the most extensive surgical procedures, such as fallopian tube reconstruction, myomectomy, treatment of endometriosis, treatment of ovarian cysts, and repair or removal of hydrosalpinx. Tubal reversal - If you've previously had a tubal ligation and now would like to have children, it can be reversed with surgery. Your doctor will use laparoscopy or laparotomy to remove scar tissue and reconnect your fallopian tubes.
ART (GIFT and ZIFT) - Certain assisted reproductive technology (ART) procedures involve surgery, such as gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT) and zygote intrafallopian transfer (ZIFT). In these procedures, your doctor may use laparoscopy to place embryos (such as in ZIFT) or a mixture of sperm and egg (in GIFT) in your fallopian tubes.
Reconstructive pelvic surgery - If you were born with an improperly developed uterus, surgery may be used to correct the problem. For instance, if you were born with nonsymmetrical development of the uterus (when the two sides of the uterus don't fuse together completely, or fuse together improperly resulting in a closed-off portion called a blind horn), your doctor may use laparoscopy or hysteroscopy to repair the problem. In other instances, when a dense layer of tissue develops and effectively divides the uterus into two separate halves, hysteroscopy may be used to remove the extraneous tissue.
Laparoscopic ovarian drilling - This may be used to stimulate ovulation in women with polycystic ovary syndrome when weight loss and medication have not helped. Electrocautery or a laser is used to destroy parts of the ovaries, a practice that has been reported to restore regular ovulation cycles.
If you are faced with surgical infertility treatment, talk to your doctor about the procedure and address any questions or concerns you have. Find out how many times the surgeon has performed the particular procedure, your chances of success, any risks or possible complications, and how long your recovery time will be.

Sparta clash for Chelsea
Details of the draw for the last 32 of the Europa League.
- Related Content
Reigning European champions Chelsea will face Sparta Prague in the last 32 of the Europa League.
The Blues, who failed to make the knockout stages of the top-tier European competition, will start their bid to become only the fourth club after Juventus, Ajax and Bayern Munich to win all of the major European trophies as they bid to usurp defending champions Atletico Madrid.
Tottenham will take on Ligue 1 side Lyon, starting with a home tie on February 14, while Liverpool face Russian champions Zenit St Petersburg and Newcastle take on Ukraine's Metalist Kharkiv.
Chelsea avoided a rematch with Atletico,.who handed them a 4-1 drubbing in the Super Cup back in August, and as a seeded team will start their Europa League campaign in Prague.
Atletico drew Russian side Rubin Kazan as they bid to defend the title they won with a comprehensive 3-0 defeat of Athletic Bilbao in last year's all-Spanish final.
Liverpool travel to Zenit for their opening round of 32 match to face the Russian side who has hit the headlines this week when their largest supporters group, Landscrona, caused widespread outrage.
They posted an open letter on their website that outlined their preferred criteria for future signings at Zenit to exclude sexual minorities and non-Europeans from the playing staff.
Tottenham will play what could be one of the most hotly contested ties of the round when they face Lyon, who are a tough opponent more used to Champions League football.
Andre Villas-Boas' side could line up a last-16 meeting with Inter Milan if they can beat Lyon over two legs, and if the Serie A side can win their tie against Romania's Cluj.
It would be a much-anticipated match an evoke memories of when Gareth Bale scored a hat-trick at the San Siro for Tottenham against Inter in a match that eventually saw the north London side lose 4-3 in October 2010.
Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas believes the Europa League will be given the respect it deserves when his side face Lyon.
"Lyon is a tremendous tie for us in the sense that it gives this country, along with the Liverpool game, the chance to see wonderful Europa League fixtures being played," Villas-Boas told reporters.
"Zenit-Liverpool and Tottenham-Lyon should both be considered like Champions League fixtures so I think this is something important for the competition, for how it's seen in this country.
"The fact that we play Lyon, who are used to being in the Champions League and used to winning trophies, it's an important reference for us.
"If we want to set our targets for Champions League qualification, this is the kind of team we will face, teams with a winning mentality, full of quality players.
"In that sense I think it's excellent for the publicity of the competition in this country."
Newcastle boss Alan Pardew admitted the club's Europa League adventure in Ukraine will be a trip into the dark.
The Magpies, who were paired with Metalist Kharkiv, face a lengthy journey as well as a tough tie when the competition resumes in February.
Asked what he knew about their next opponents, Pardew said: "Not much, really.
"I do know it's a long journey, I've had a look at that, and they won their group, so it's a tough agenda for us.
"It's a tough draw in terms of travel; the opposition, I know very little about. I can't even comment on that until such time as we do some studying."
In the other games, Champions League dropouts BATE Borisov face Turkey's Fenerbahce while Spain's Levante take on Olympiacos and Dynamo Kyiv take on Ligue 1's Bordeaux in their knockout ties.
Dutch champions Ajax host Steaua Bucharest first in their round of 32 tie while Germany's Stuttgart host Genk and Bayer Leverkusen play Portugal's Benfica.
Borussia Monchengladbach face Lazio while Swiss champions Basel play Dnipro of the Ukraine, Russia's Anzhi play Hannover and Napoli take on Viktoria Plzen.

Two of rugby's long-standing heavyweights clash on Saturday as Heineken Cup holders Leinster tackle European mainstays Biarritz.
Two of rugby's long-standing giants clash at the RDS in Dubin on Saturday as Heineken Cup champions Leinster take on European mainstays Biarritz.
Despite these two heavyweights having been consistently challenging for top honours, they have not met since January 2004 and only faced off on five previous occasions. Leinster, if you believe form counts going so far back, hold the edge with three wins to Biarritz's two ahead of what is an intriguing Challenge Cup clash.
Domestically the Irish province are in a much stronger position than their opponents as they sit second, looking to seal a home semi-final with a win over the Ospreys next Friday. Biarritz's Top 14 season meanwhile is over, with them languishing in 11th, so this is their 2013/14 European ticket.
The subplot of whether this is to be Joe Schmidt's last season in charge of Leinster remains to be seen but a PRO12, Challenge Cup double would be a decent send-off for the coach, whose side was electric against Wasps on April 5. That game separated the men from the boys.
Biarritz were also exceptional, against Gloucester, in their quarter-final, winning 41-31 in a five-try showing at the tough venue that is Kingsholm. That victory was largely down to BO racing out of the blocks, with their 27-14 scoreline at the interval a warning to Leinster that they must avoid a repeat of their early effort at Adams Park when they leaked two tries to the lethal Christian Wade inside fifteen minutes. They'll know Biarritz can hold onto a lead.
Team news sees Leo Cullen lead an experienced line-up in a side which shows a number of changes from the one selected for the bonus-point victory away to Zebre last weekend.
Ian Madigan is at inside centre alongside Brian O'Driscoll, who makes his 83rd European appearance and now lies just four appearances behind second placed Shane Horgan on the all-time provincial list. Regular centre Gordon D'Arcy is ruled out due to a calf strain.
The back-row unit sees Jamie Heaslip partnering fellow Ireland internationals Shane Jennings and Kevin McLaughlin with Heaslip set to make his 163rd appearance (and his 60th in Europe) for the province. Cian Healy and Mike Ross are alongside Richardt Strauss.
Biarritz meanwhile have their two key players, Dimitri Yachvili and Imanol Harinordoqoy in their starting line-up while former Saracens tighthead Ben Broster is recalled to the XV.
Players to watch:
For Leinster: Of course this is another opportunity for British and Irish Lions contenders to state their case to head coach Warren Gatland. Brian O'Driscoll seems, if we are to believe the recent press, to have dropped down the pecking order in terms of getting the captaincy but that won't stop him giving everything for Leinster on Saturday. He is a big game player.
For Biarritz: He was impressive against Gloucester in the quarter-final and has a knack of stepping up on the European stage when BO needs him to. Dimitri Yachvili is the man we're talking about as his kicking and game management could have a big say in Dublin.
Head-to-head: Playing Ian Madigan at inside centre will be interesting and he comes up against a French international who has experience galore in the shape of Damien Traille. Madigan was a stand-out against Wasps in the quarters and remains a Lions bolter.
Prediction: This result should go the Irish side's way. Leinster by 8!
The teams:
Leinster: 15 Rob Kearney, 14 Fergus McFadden, 13 Brian O'Driscoll, 12 Ian Madigan, 11 Isa Nacewa, 10 Johnny Sexton, 9 Isaac Boss, 8 Jamie Heaslip, 7 Shane Jennings, 6 Kevin McLaughlin, 5 Devin Toner, 4 Leo Cullen, 3 Mike Ross, 2 Richardt Strauss, 1 Cian Healy.
Replacements: 16 Sean Cronin, 17 Jack McGrath, 18 Jamie Hagan, 19 Quinn Roux, 20 Rhys Ruddock, 21 John Cooney, 22 Andrew Goodman, 23 Andrew Conway.
Biarritz: 15 Marcelo Bosch, 14 Taku Ngwenya, 13 Benoît Baby, 12 Damien Traille, 11 Aled Brew, 10 Jean-Pascal Barraque, 9 Dimitri Yachvili, 8 Imanol Harinordoquy, 7 Raphael Lakafia, 6 Thibault Dubarry, 5 Pelu Taele, 4 Erik Lund, 3 Ben Broster, 2 Arnaud Heguy, 1 Thomas Synaeghel.
Replacements: 16 Benoit August, 17 Eugène Van Staden, 18 Francisco Gomez Kodela, 19 Wenceslas Lauret, 20 Mathias Marie, 21 Yann Lesgourgues, 22 Seremaïa Burotu, 23 Teddy Thomas.

Great shoe!
"I wasn't so sure about ordering these for my daughter because they are so bright and crazy looking online, but when they came in they weren't so bad! They are very light weight and all the kids at school love her shoes too haha"
