Extra-thin cutoff wheel maintains long lifespan
Walter Surface Technologies (WST) has introduced the Zip One extra-thin cutoff wheel. Designed for cutting thin-gauge metal, the 0.031-in. wheel is bonded with a proprietary mix of high-performance abrasives that deliver extra-cool cutting. A new technology enables an optimal grit distribution throughout the disc, the company reports.
The tool delivers precise cuts with low friction and without vibrations. High-speed cutting prevents discoloration on cuts and helps reduce postcut finishing, such as burr removal. Manufactured with an iron-free mix, the wheel will not contaminate stainless steel. According to the company, the wheel has a significantly longer lifespan compared to other true 0.031-in. wheels.

Big girl
"I love this shoe. It was the perfect navy (not too blue, not too dark). And a little hint of gold to go with my gold jewelry. I call these my "Big Girl Shoes" since these are the sexiest and highest shoes I've yet to own. The only thing is by the end of the night by foot kept sliding forward putting a lot of pressure on my pinky toes which didn't feel good by the end of the night. I may have needed a half a size smaller."

Just a few years ago, the thought of owning an emergency standby generator seemed somewhat silly and totally unnecessary. But with an aging power grid, living without electricity is all too common. Many homeowners simply cannot afford to ride out another power outage. Instead, they are installing home standby generators in record numbers to protect their families and investments. And, shopping for a standby generator online [1] can help avoid the shortages and high prices of trying to purchase ANY kind of generator when a weather event makes even portable generators hard to find and costly.
Engine Instead of Motor. Air conditioners run off electric motors, which obviously won't work during an outage. Home standby generators have engines instead. The systems can be connected to your natural gas line or liquid propane tank and generate electricity as long as fuel is supplied.
Automatic Transfer Switches. Instead of using a thermostat, standby generators use an automatic transfer switch to monitor your utility power. When it goes out, the automatic transfer switch turns on the generator - whether you're home or not - and automatically shuts it off when power is restored. Unlike portable generators, home standby generators operate automatically with no human intervention.
Whole house generators are the ideal solution because they do power the whole house. Unfortunately, they aren't cheap. For example, the smallest whole house generator [3]- a 25-kilowatt liquid-cooled generator - starts at around $7,500 for just the generator. The transfer switch isn't even included.
If you have the financial resources to power your whole house, go for it. Use the buyer's guide at www.electricgeneratorsdirect.com [1] to help find the perfect whole house generator for your needs.
If 16 circuits just aren't enough, you can install a "smart circuit" generator [5]instead. These new generators won't power your entire house, but they'll maximize the amount of electricity produced by your generator.

Should this work?
I want to let go of the servo to save battery and stop any jitter or anything.
They do stay in position when they are off.
Either way shouldn't the software be able to attach as needed? I saw a example somewhere but doesn't work for me. There isn't much more to the code.

This was Steve Tambellini moments after winning the 2012 draft lottery, and since then he's added two important pieces to what he hopes will eventually be a playoff puzzle. He took Nail Yakupov first overall on June 22nd, added Justin Schultz on July 1st and along with Jordan Eberle, Taylor Hall and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins they are the future core of the Oilers.
If the Oilers are going to be more than playoff contenders on paper, Tambellini will need to look at moving any of the other young Oiler prospects once the lockout is over.
Stockpiling prospects is imperative for any successful organization, but most won't end up playing for the Oilers, so if Tambellini can acquire proven NHL talent in exchange for a prospect or two, he needs to make that move. The question is if he will have any cap space to make a few significant moves.
When the season starts the Oiler's won't have much cap space, if any, depending on the new CBA.
Hall, Yakupov, RNH, Eberle, Ales Hemsky, Sam Gagner, Shawn Horcoff, Ryan Smyth, Ryan Jones, Eric Belanger, Ben Eager, Darcy Hordichuk and Lennart Petrell have a combined cap hit of $34,433 million.
Schultz, Ryan Whitney, Ladislav Smid, Nick Schultz, Jeff Petry, Theo Peckham, Andy Sutton and Corey Potter have a total cap hit of $18,875 million.
Devan Dubnyk and Nikolai Khabibulin are a combined $7.25 million cap hit.
Add them up and the Oilers sit at $60,558 million.
If they decide to have Magnus Paajarvi, $1,525 million, or Teemu Hartikainen's, $875,000 million cap hit, and send down a veteran forward that might add to their cap, because the new CBA might have all one-way deals count against the cap. Either way, the new CBA will determine how much cap flexibility they could have.
There have been some rumblings that the Oilers might make a big splash when the lockout ends, but I don't see how they will be able to add a big contract, unless they move a few big ones of their own. Hall and Eberle's combined cap hit this year is $4.91 million, but starting next year it jumps to $12 milllion.
The only way I see the Oilers adding a top-end player is if they move Hemsky, Horcoff or surprise everyone and move one of Eberle or Hall. Hemsky is still enticing for many teams, because he is a PROVEN top-six forward, and Horcoff's contract will be attractive to a team that needs to reach the cap floor, but pay less in actual dollars. I doubt one of the kids is moved anytime soon, but if Tambellini is going to make a major splash it will be difficult due to cap restrictions.
Looking down the road the Oilers will need to find guys to play in their bottom-six. They have enough skill in their top-two lines, although some skill with size is a definite must-have, so as they look to the future they need to find players who are good penalty killers, solid defensively and most importantly, consistent.
I find it interesting how many people want to deal Ryan Jones away because Magnus Paajarvi, Teemu Hartikainen or Tyler Pitlick need a chance. Hartikainen has size, but he doesn't skate as well as Jones and to date he doesn't shown the ability to score the gritty, plugger-type goals that Jones does. If Jones can score 13-17 goals on your third line and kill penalties, he's a solid asset. He's done that the past two years. I'd like him to crash and bang on a more consistent basis, but only Hall drew more penalties amongst top-nine forwards.
The Oilers had the 5th most PK minutes in the NHL last year, and only Horcoff had more PK minutes amongst the forwards than Jones. Jones has a decent cap hit or $1.5 million and he's scored 17 and 18 goals the past two seasons. Moving him out to make room for a young player makes no sense at this point, because I don't see any prospect who can kill penalties, go to the tough areas to score, and actually produce like Jones has.
The Oilers won't win with a lineup based solely on youth. They need some veterans. If Horcoff had a lower cap hit, he'd be the perfect complement. If Smyth was a few years younger, he'd be able to play here for another four years. They Oilers need to find versions of those two, but proven NHL players, not guys in the farm system.
When the NHL resumes, Tambellini and his staff will need to find some 26-32 year-old veterans who can help nurture the young core, and he'll need to use some of his 2nd tier youth as trade bait.
Too many people fall in love with prospects, but the harsh reality is that very few of them ever pan out. The Oilers have to start over-hyping their prospects, and then move a few of them to a team that will fall in love with their "potential."
I've read articles suggesting the Oilers might end up with five or six players from their 2010 draft playing in Edmonton. That will only happen if the Oilers continue to be a bottom feeder. If they want to take the next step, they will need to have more proven, every day NHLers, and not worry about parting with young prospects to obtain those veterans.
- The NHL and NHLPA will meet today and both sides will have some new blood in the room. The NHL is keeping it hush on which owners will be there, but maybe some fresh faces will bring some fresh ideas.
- Another Oiler, Oscar Klefbom, has suffered a serious shoulder injury. Swedish sports reporter Johan Eriksson tweeted me an update about the situation. "As I understand his shoulder got dislocated but "jumped back in" immediately. But when it got dislocated he got a fracture on the joint capsule and bleeding in the shoulder." The only good news is that he should be ready for camp next September.
- In the history of Edmonton sports the Ricky Ray trade might be 2nd worst all-time. I'm not including trades where the player asked to be traded, Pronger, or where the deal was strictly due to money, Weight, Messier, Coffey. Do you have any other trades you'd rank ahead of Ray, besides Gretzky?
I'd hope the Eskimos fans who liked the trade will realize they undervalued Ricky Ray. The move also illustrates how badly Danny Maciocia and Eric Tillman managed the Eskimos the past six years. Maciocia gave Ray virtually no supporting cast, while Tillman made an awful decision. The Eskimos can't afford to hire the wrong guy as their next GM. They need a leader, a guy who isn't afraid to make tough decisions, and a man who is very organized. Ed Hervey will be one of the four to six men to get an interview, and he's my leading candidate to land the job.
November 19 2012, 10:55AM
Man with Klefbom being injured possibly for the whole season it's as though he actually made the Oilers this year.
Also FIST!
I was really hoping you would have taken the time to speculate on some of the trade rumors circling, based on what you see as the cap predicament the team is in.
If, what Tambellini said is true, and there will be a wow trade once the lockout ends, who do you think it will be?
P.S. I also agree moving Jones is a bad idea. The guy is one of Tambellini's best acquisitions when you look at how much he produces for what he gets paid. I think you'd be hard pressed to find someone better for that role, that comes at a cheaper price in the entire NHL.
November 19 2012, 11:04AM
I hope Rick Ray wins the Grey Cup and then I hope Eric Tillman winds up as the GM in Toronto. Then people might realize what a joke the CFL is.
Just because Jones doesn't have the glitz or glamor of our Fab 5 that doesn't mean he isn't a key cog in the wheel.
Jones a 3rd/4th line winger who produces goals, decent PK, good energy, good team guy and comes at a very reasonable price. What's the down size here??
I hope if there is the "WOW" trade, it involves a D-man. We need a true horse back there. While our young D core grows. Though Weber is a 1000-1 long shot, I hate to say I'm thinking J-Bo.
I can't imagine Tillman ever getting another GM job. Unless it was Toronto and that was his plan all along, in which case it would all make sense.
I sure hope the Oilers don't botch a trade or make one that forces them to give up or be unable to resign the young guys in the future.
If Yakupov continues this pace in the KHL I believe he would be the most likely to be shipped out in a trade. I think Yakupov is going to be one of the best of the young bunch, but as of yet he isn't really part of the bunch. The Montreal rumours would appear to be the most fitting, with Galchenyuk there now. If that happened, I would like to see something like: Yakupov and Marincin for Pacioretty (sp?) and Subban. I would much rather see Yakupov as an Oiler though.
November 19 2012, 11:17AM
The way I see it the Oilers need fewer forwards and more defense. There is no legit #1 d-man on the Oil. We had Petry and Smid pulling the top pairing duties but they are 3-4 on a decent club. I hope the WOW trade brings in a defender and I'd be just fine if that trade meant that the Cap hits of Hemsky/Horcoff went and a few AHL guys like Pitlick, Teubert, Hartikainen, or even Marincin were sent the other way.
I'm pretty high on the futures of Marincin and Hartikainen, but if you are getting a legit top 2-3 defenseman then you cant just give up Horcoff and the rights to Omark.
November 19 2012, 11:20AM
Oh, and the Ryan Smyth trade ripped my heart out, so based on that alone I would have it ahead of the Ray trade. The truth is Danny Maciocia already killed most of the passion that I had for the Esks. Tillman just spit on its rotting corpse.
November 19 2012, 11:33AM
Hemsky is more valuable to the Oilers than he is to any other team. Hemsky ain't going no where. If Eberle gets injuried: where is your RW?
Gagner, a good prospect or two and 1 or 2 first round picks of the future should get the Oilers an improvement that they need.
November 19 2012, 11:39AM
@Sanaa Montana
Yakupov is a RW. After Eberle would be Yak. Without Gagner the Oilers have ???? as a 2C?
Arch said "The truth is Danny Maciocia already killed most of the passion that I had for the Esks. Tillman just spit on its rotting corpse."
Here Here
I prefer the conspiracy theory that the Esks/Tillman were paid off in order to give TO the quarterback needed to get the Argos into the 100th anniversary Grey Cup game in Toronto. :P ~~~
November 19 2012, 11:50AM
I don't consider the Pronger trade bad at all. Eberle, Smid, and Lupul is a solid haul, didn't we also get a first round pick that turned into Buffalo drafting Tyler Myers?
November 19 2012, 11:56AM
Keep Hall, Eberle, Nugent hopkins, Yakupov, Shultz. Everyone else is trade bait. Not that I don't like some of the players I didn't mention but we may have to give up something good to get something great. Love the young talent on this team but I don't like the mix of players at all in Edmonton. Not enough quality veterans and we might be the smallest team in the league. If we head into the season with almost the same group as last year plus two rookies we will be looking at another lottery pick. We should make a new rule in edmonton that we don't get too excited about prospects before they make an impact at the NHL level. I like what I see with Kleefbom but is he really that far ahead of Smid at his age?
November 19 2012, 11:57AM
I really can't see the oilers trading for anyone over a 6 million cap and has more than 3-4 years on a deal. Right now the future players I believe that need to be traded for is a number 2 center man or 2nd line LW and a top defenseman (not a defined 1-2 pairing) the rest can be signed for in free agency. I do hope in the CBA they do get rid of the rookie bonuses counting against the cap.
Didn't Andy Sutton end his season, recently (shoulder I think it was??)? So he's off the books, so to speak, and this was his final year of deal too. I really liked him... I know that in this crazy city that probably isn't the popular opinion. Personally, I'd be a little sad to see the guy done as an Oiler though (potentially his career, at this stage).
Anyways, I think the Oilers need to shore up the D and goaltending (well, who doesn't... even Lowe said the same recently). Take Potter, Whitney, Khabibulin, Dubnyk, some forward lesser prospects we have... maybe make some sort of package to improve the D / G (and no, I'm not saying all of those players.. just saying you could use a few for a multi-player deal).
Admittedly though, I'm interested to see Whitney and Schultz together though.. might rejuvenate Whitney a bit, and then our blueline looks completely different with the players we already have... especially if Peckham wakes back up.
Smid - Petry Whitney - J.Schultz Peckham - Potter/N.Schultz
Couldn't hurt to try and improve that though since there are still question marks and you're banking everything on hope that a few guys will look good.
November 19 2012, 12:04PM
@Matt Henderson
Yakupov can play RW. If there is no trade Yakupov won't be playing RW on the 3rd line.
Lets say Oilers do trade Hemsky and Eberle gets injuried: that would mean Yakupov as a rookie is your only skilled RW. As stupid as some stupids think the Oilers management is, I can't see them taking that chance.
Hall, Horcoff, Lander. Patrick Sharp? I believe the Oilers will make a big deal with a team like Chicago or San Jose for example, teams that have cap problems and sense that their time is passing or need a new direction.
I'd set my sights on Anaheim and Getzlaf. They're close to a full rebuild, he would immediately give the oilers a scary 1-2punch up the middle. Gagner, Omark, Potter and a 2nd round pick. Only if Getz agrees to an extension first.
Or Hemsky, Marincin, and a 3rd to phoenix for yandle and a late round pick.

@Jason Gregor
My bad, I was unaware of the cap situation. I was using them more of the example of teams whose time is passing with the current rosters. Anaheim would make sense as a trading partner, no?
Nashville would never do that, even if it was allowed
Bobby Ryan has no place on this team, we're already dressed to the 9 in wingers.
November 19 2012, 12:36PM
One trade I think would make sense is Hemsky for Mike Green. Green makes just over 6 million for 3 years compared to Hemsky's 2 yr at 5 million. Wash gets a top 6 RW while Edm gets a top 4 defenseman. Both coming off being injured for past few years so almost a wash in value, Edm might have to add a little bit more but not much.
As bad of GM Maciocia was he wasn't even dumb enough to trade Ricky Ray. Can't wait to see Ray put the screws to both the Stamps and the Esks on Sunday.
Oilers obviously have holes to fill but I see something like this happening! Krejci & Hemsky have been lighting up the Czech League during the lockout. Maybe the Bruins have said to the Oilers, what would it take to get Hemsky's services? I've read where the Bruins would like to have Seguin in the middle, but it's too crowded. We need to read between the lines! Maybe the Oilers have said Bergeron would look good in Oiler colors & the salaries & length of contracts are basically a trade off! This is a hockey deal no less but I could see something like this happening. Then you have the prospect of moving a smaller skilled center like Gagner to a team like the Hawks who were asking about him in times past! Just saying, but I don't think it's that far fetched!
Oh boy, what are you smoking? could you spare some? its obviously very potent...

these are lousy trades for everyone but the Oilers. this isn't HF Boards!
Re: Klefbom injury
For those who have been following the Klefbom injury, it started out as a "bruise", then progressed to a dislocated shoulder (out 4-6 weeks, but he was expected to return to SEL action by the end of November.
Now, this news that he'll be out the year.
How does this happen? Do you have any info from your source Gregor?
It's SO frustrating to see injuries mis-diagnosed like this.
November 19 2012, 01:03PM
Is PK Subban for Hemsky, Hartikainen, and Colten Teubert/Marincin a deal that might work?
Hemsky is a legit talent and Hartikainen is the guy most Oiler fans see as "The Guy the Oilers have been Missing" and the Habs need big physical forwards even more than the Oilers do. Add to that either big physical Teubert or lanky but talented Marincin and there might be a deal to be done.
$ in will likely be close to $ out. The Oilers give up two prospects that are earmarked for the pros and a player that can help MTL now.
If Oilers fans arent at all uncomfortable with giving up Harski and Teubert/Marincin then the deal is too lopsided and just garbage.
November 19 2012, 01:04PM
Good read Gregor.
My take on this is.
The Oilers won't trade - Yakupov - Schultz - Hall - RNH - Eberle
The Oilers don't have a lot of cap space to make a huge "WOW" type trade unless serious money is leaving, the don't have a lot of roster spots left unless they dump a bunch of players.
So, with that being said it makes more sense for the Oilers not to make any significant deals especially with a shorten NHL season.
I would still suggest the Oilers are a bottom 5 team and would get a significant piece without having to trade this season.
November 19 2012, 01:10PM
@Jason Gregor
That's why you trade Eberle instead.
Well no, that's not why. You trade Eberle because Yakupov will probably be better, but the thing you said helps too.
Where are all the Ricky Ray haters now?

Last heard was that he dislocated his shoulder, but the doctors missed a small fracture that was causing internal bleeding (see giant bruise) Thus they now have to go in and repair damage.

I like it. But maybe we could add two more teams, like sayyyyy Washington and Pittsburgh? I really think this trade proposal needs to have Ovechkin and Crosby heading to Edmonton.

Although I like the suggestion of trading to get someone to mentor our youth.......is this not supposed to be what Jones, Horcoff, and Smyth should be doing?
If these three are played less, my contention is that they can be good mentors. They were overplayed last year to the point where they looked spent.
Trade Hemsky and a couple of prospects but leave the fab five alone.
Tamby has never showed any creativity in trading and does not have the vision to know what to do in the trade department.
November 19 2012, 02:41PM
Appreciate the positive paragraphs on Jones -- I think he might be underrated because he skates funny and is over 23. A surprisingly versatile player that I hope will stick around and not demand (much) more than he currently makes.
November 19 2012, 03:08PM
Can we please get off the Hall to center thing. Why not Eberle? Why not Magnus? Why not Hemsky?
LW is where we have the least NHL depth. RNH and Gagner is way more depth than Hall and who ever you wanna plug in with him.
RW is the strong point. You do not move Yakupov. A natural goal scorer playing his off wing plays their for a reason. If you move one it is hemsky. He should adapt easier being a veteran and if he doesnt produce as much it is little to give up for Yaks 30 Goals.
Like Hemsky but he is the only realistic piece that can be traded. He and Gagner are the two highest values that are tradeable. One injury to Nuge and a Gagner trade has a Center Depth of
Horcoff, Belanger, Lander, Pitlick, Vande Velde
And if you think gagner plus some prospects is going to get you a bigger higher producing center ask why would a team do that, and also ask how we will afford a 60pt power center and the fab 5. Does not add up. You want a big power second center who could produce, you have to make room by moving one of the big wingers.
I've heard that marleau could be in the picture, potentially gags and MPS or a 1st/2nd rounder in return. i'd be content with that, dunno if we could handle the cap hit though. i'd also like the oil to look into a trade dealing horc+ or gags+ to tampa for lecavalier
November 19 2012, 03:36PM
We sound like the flames. Everyone wants a trade to bring in a top old player to help to try and win now, which isnt happening. Wait another year of development and push for it next year when we are legit.
Lecav, Marleau, Bowmeester,
good players but washed up and not worth their contract. The game is getting younger not older.
Let Calgary give up their future for that.
Speculate...The Luongo deal? I don't think any deal has much truth until we see what the new CBA looks like. Regardless I don't add Luongo due to his age. Oilers aren't primed to win in the next three years, and after that Luongo will be 36. No thanks.
Bouwmeester...Not sure how they can afford his cap-hit...In two years when he as UFA I'd look at him, but not now.
Haven't heard/read any others...If there are others, let me know which ones...
Ok, those are fair points on both names. However, if hypothetically there is going to be a 'wow' trade who do you think it will be and what can you see going back the other way?
I think Hemsky's trade value has gone way up since he's been playing well in the Czech league. Not to mention he has a very attractive contract. Since we have what looks to be a very capable right wing coming in from the KHL (Nail), do you think the Hemsky signing was more of an insurance policy that could turn into trade bait to plug other holes on the team?
Do you think he'd be enough to net a center with size? Or a top two D man?
I don't see Yak or Nuge going anywhere since we currently get them for nothing and if I understand your article right, we'd need to send money out if we're going to take money back in.
Finally, if the Oilers are trading out vets, won't we run into a problem of being an all around young and inexperienced team? Is that a bad thing or can the kids get it done under the leadership of Hall who plays his heart out every night.
November 19 2012, 04:07PM
Gregor, I'm pretty sure the Gretzky trade was because of money. Not in the short term, but long term it was all about $$$
Where are all the Ricky Ray haters now?
I'm not a Ricky Ray hater but I would have liked to have seen him replaced with someone almost as good and more mobile. I can't believe they thought Jyles would be the guy.
I had to PVR a game yesterday. Only had room for one. Did the BC/Calgary. Poor choice. I started watching it, then realized I wanted them both to lose. I'll be cheering for Ray and the Argo's.
I think we need to factor in an amnesty clause as well post lockout...
In other words we could factor out Horcoff assuming he'd be the likeliest buyout.
But what really gets my mind wandering are what other players might be able to be had at a much reduced cost because their teams bought them out?
Say Tampa buys out Vinny...and we scoop him up at a couple/few mill per year...wouldn't he look pretty damned sweet as our second line center?
Same with Bouwmeester or Luongo...Teams that really might see value in having the cap space and knowing that they won't be able to offload those players without taking salary back might just choose to buy them out and let them go UFA...this amnesty clause if it happens could totally change the whole league dynamic with some really good players possibly be had for bargain contracts since they're already getting paid from their buyouts.
Just a little food for thought anyways.
How would Yakupov look on the NY Islanders team? Tavares could use a shooter like Yak.The Isles could use another marquee name before they pack their bags for Brooklyn. They have Strome and Rheinhart as trade options.
The other option is Montreal.Montreal needs to be a player this off season. How would YAK look in Montreal? They have picks and the Oilers covet Subban.A problem player in Montreal.But. How good would that first unit PP look with Subban and J Shultz on the point.
If the Oilers keep Yak its just as good. The issue is that we need to look at upgrading our 2cd line center position if we do.Gagne is ok.Meh. But for the Oilers to compete they need a guy like Coutier. Someone with size and skill.
Christmas is coming.But hopefully not Louongo.
November 19 2012, 05:54PM
What if we did klefbom, pajarvi, gagner and a first (with the option to throw In horcoff so nashville can reach the cap floor without paying a lot) for weber and a center? Klefbom isn't as needed now that we have schultz, plus pajarvi still has some decent value.
November 19 2012, 06:08PM
Worse trade than Ray, hard to say but I have a close contender.
I would say when the Oilers traded Miroslav Satan to Buffalo for Barrie Moore and Craig Millar. Ended up with over 350 goals and 700 points.
He was the goal scorer the Oilers needed badly and would have been the top goal scorer on the Oilers during the rest of his career.

Wisconsin is set to hire Utah State's Gary Andersen as its football coach today, according to multiple reports.
Andersen worked wonders at Utah State, going 18-8 over the last two seasons including an 11-2 record this seasons that included a victory over Toledo in last weekend's Famous Idaho Potato Bowl.
Utah State had also become a scary foe for BCS-level competition, leading defending national champion Auburn in the 2011 season opener all the way until the final minute before falling 42-38.
He also gave Wisconsin fans an up close look at his ability as the Aggies narrowly lost 16-14 at Wisconsin on Sept. 15
On Nov. 30, Andersen released a statement through the university that he would remain at Utah State after his name had surfaced in connection to multiple openings. But that was before Bret Bielema left Wisconsin to take the job at Arkansas, opening up one of the more attractive positions in the Big Ten.
There was some speculation that athletic director Barry Alvarez, who is coaching the team in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1, would return to coaching for at least a year if he didn't get one of his primary targets.
Andersen, a native of Salt Lake City, worked at Utah as an assistant under both Urban Meyer and Kyle Whittingham before taking the Utah State job in 2009.
The Wisconsin State Journal first reported late Tuesday that Alvarez had zeroed in on Andersen

This C list celebrity has chosen money over family and has not seen her son in a very long time
. She does talk to him on the phone but doesn't want to give up the money she is making right now being with this A list celebrity.
Laura silvermanReplyCancel
Another gross oneReplyCancel
Simon's bitch/ho/golddigger sounmds rightReplyCancel
Vera, don't look. It's not getting any betterReplyCancel
Just to be different, I'll say Kelly Preston not seeing her son in Hawaii because she has her contract with John Travolta.ReplyCancel
She has a son with her husband andrew.ReplyCancel
I'm going with the Kelly Preston guess as the blind mentions phone conversations and Laura Silverman's baby in only 5 months old. I find it interesting that the bio of Kelly's ex has this statement: Kevin and his ex-wife, Kelly Preston, had no children.ReplyCancel
Fergie came to mind since we never see her with Axl (or Josh). But he's too young to be talking on the phone and it sounds like señior Meth is what's keeping her MIA. No money to be made from that mess.ReplyCancel
you couldn't exactly call Simon's SO a ladyReplyCancel
this woman is just ewwwww, she is hoping for a ring, she has a long way to goReplyCancel
I was thinking of Pam Andersons boys, but she isn't with an A list celeb right now.ReplyCancel
@beth. My guess is Simon is ready for her to find something more sparkley, and he'll take his son.
Funny, I think this woman has some dbags in her future, a decent man is not going to look her way. SHES DONE!!
FWIW. I haven't even heard that her divorce is final yet.
She's sisgusting! But I don't believe she's getting what she wants, Simon's still working his harem and she has noooo say. Prob why it's so important for her to try to look smug when they're papped. She desperately wants ppl to think she's his one and only, she can't stand that she's not.
Wonder what Pam's sons think of her escapades in Cannes and that jerk Rick Salomon. Are the boys with Dad? this summer while she flits around with the husband she is apparently not now divorcing. See DM.ReplyCancel
Simon tried to buy her off and have full custody of son but she won't give up the lifestyle for the $$ the delusional unicorn is hoping for a ring.ReplyCancel
Pam's kids are in a boarding school, and I believe they live with the grandparents during holidays.
Kelly Preston's first child was scrubbed from IMDB and Wikipedia after an anti-$cio group pointed it out. It was on both of their IMDB profiles for a very long time. The child is rumoured to be disabled and lives with Preston's mother.
Interesting spin on Lauren Silverman. The divorce decree is joint custody and Simon can't see her first son (or ever call him Dad). And she gets $3k a month in child support. There have been reports of how she deals with the custody situation sans Simon. But hey, spin it to win it!ReplyCancel
LOL she actually thinks Simon will marry herReplyCancel
Everything okay, Brenda?ReplyCancel
There was pics of her with the baby over the weekend on the DM I thinkReplyCancel
It's true, Brenda, I don't even think I realised my parent was a separate person from me until I was in my early twenties. It'll get better, ladyReplyCancel
Brenda: there is no job that is more thankless than being a parent. I have my mom hell for years like it was my job, but my parents have grown into my best friends. The same will happen for you. XoXoReplyCancel
So, is she getting paid for every day she spends at Simon's side, nightly services or what?? I just don't at all see how traveling back to the States several times a month to spend time with her eldest child is going to cause her to "give up money."
I do believe wholeheartedly that that's the excuse she's given herself for bailing, it's just that it makes roughly ZERO logical sense.ReplyCancel
No amount of money could keep me from my kids. That woman is a piece of shit. Simon should pay her off and raise the new baby himself.ReplyCancel
Tardy to the party, but Pip isn't a nasty troublemaker nor an infrequent poster.
You might be thinking of Massive Knickerbottoms.ReplyCancel
Jinx @ Pip!
I got an email from someone with a seriously gross pic, assumed it was MW.ReplyCancel
This is sad. I hope his dad is a good father, so at least he has that. It can't be good to know that your mom picked her lover/new baby daddy over you. Simon is never faithful long, so at some point she will probably go running back with her tail between her legs, begging to be back in her son's life. In the meantime, the new baby and her son don't get to grow up together. Tragic!ReplyCancel
@Tillie must be a troll.
Yes, I see the irony of my calling someone a troll. 😉ReplyCancel
guys it's not so much "giving up money" as a constant fear of being replaced if she's gone to long on other mommy duty.. the other kid.. simon doesn't stay lonely ever.. if she isn't constantly there someone younger, prettier, hungrier for it will be.ReplyCancel
My theory on why Laura Silverman won't see her 9 yo son is partly because she's not allowed to have him around Simon, but it's 90% fear that if she's gone, even for a few days, she and her new kid might quickly be forgotten or she may lose her place I. The rotation, and bye-bye lifestyles of the rich and famous. She has got to keep her finger in Simon's pie.ReplyCancel
And, as a parent, i dont care how much you hate your spouse, think if your child's welfare. "I wont be seeing mom because she's a whore who had sex with daddys friend and got pregnant with my brother, who has mom with him all the time, while for me, she literally phones it in. Dont worry i will grow up completely well adjusted with tons of love and trust for women. ". And i dont think lauren fears simon will cheat; he's already done that, its part of his lifestyle. I think she fears he will take off with the baby, as in,"Oh, mum, you're back from america? Just miseed simon and baby! Went to malta!" Followed by,"Oh mum, sorry, they left this morning for switzerland!" And on and on, until she dies of old age on an airplane to Tasmania.ReplyCancel
LOVE this so hard – Dies of old age on an airplane to Tasmania. LMAO!ReplyCancel

2013 Draft Man Crush
Posted 23 April 2013 - 05:16 PM
Every year I pick out a prospect or two that just give me boners all over the place. These are usually guys who will go in the middle rounds and tend to be less athletic guys who are just good football players. Guys that I think will be really good players for a long time. They probably won't be stars, but the guys that championship teams need.
Past man crushes have included Browns DE Jabaal Sheard, Ravens RB Bernard Pierce, I don't even know what team he's on anymore WR Jordan Shipley, Bucs MLB Mason Foster, Ravens DE Arthur Jones, Eagles WR DeSean Jackson, Bears RB Matt Forte, Ravens RB Ray Rice, and Jags RB Maurice Jones-Drew.
More or less a pretty successful list...of course I probably have selective memory about the prospects I liked that didn't turn out so hot...but let's not talk about that now. This year I've got a few players that get me all hot and bothered...here they are:
Syracuse S Sharmako Thomas (Rounds 2-3) - I love this little guy, and not just because he has the greatest name ever. He's a baller, and a few inches short of being the most physically impressible safety prospect in years. If he had those inches, he's probably a mid first rounder.
Keenan Allen WR Cal (1-2) - The only thing Allen lacks a WR prospect is elite straight line speed. He is a great route runner with a big, tall frame and excellent hands, and is surprisingly good after the catch given his lack of long speed. Some issues with recovery from a knee injury seem to be pushing his stock down, if he's still on the board at the Jets 2nd round pick and they haven't drafted a WR already I think he'd be a GREAT pick.
Datone Jones DE UCLA (1-2) - Probably not a good fit for the Jets right now, but I love this guy's game anyway. If you watch UCLA games he is always affecting the play, in so many different ways. He may never get huge accolades in the NFL, but he will help his team win lots of games.
Chase Thomas OLB Stanford (3-5) - I see Chase as a Bryan Thomas type player; fundamentally sound, sets the edge well, and provides a little pass rush as well. Played in the 3-4 in college on the exceptionally well coached Stanford teams.
Nickell Robey CB USC (3-4) - He's only 5'-7", but every time I watched a USC game he was so clearly dominant I don't understand why he isn't getting more press. He may never be more than a nickel, but in today's NFL that is still a very important position. BIG FAN of this guy.
The Tight End Depth - This isn't a particular player, but the Jets should definitely look to grab a TE in the middle-late rounds with guys like Levine Toilolo, Gavin Escobar, Joseph Fauria, etc all capable of being contributors at the next level.
Posted 23 April 2013 - 05:39 PM
A few I like: Markus Wheaton, Kevin Minter, Joseph Randle, Sharrif Floyd, Jordan Poyer and Bacarri Rambo.

Whats everyone's opinion of Kenny Stills?

Chaos, on 23 April 2013 - 10:25 PM, said:
If the draft fell something like this for the Jets I'd pee my pants.
1a - Ideally, I'd like the Jets to trade back with this or the 13th pick...but...I guess I'll go with whichever OLB pass rusher falls here. I'm honestly not a big fan of any of MIngo, Jordan, Ansah, Jones...1 or 2 of them will probably succeed....but I have no idea which one.
1b - OG Jonathon Cooper (I know jetsman05 will be upset with me, but it's mighty tempting to take one of these elite Guards at 13)
2 - WR Keenan Allen (If Allen isn't available, I wouldn't want the Jets drafting a WR here because I don't think any others are worth the pick. Perhaps go with a TE like Zach Ertz)
3 - S Sharmako Thomas (There will probably be a couple of safeties you could take here, Thomas is obviously just my personal favorite)
Whats everyone's opinion of Kenny Stills?
Touche...that is a pretty sweet name. I actually don't know much about Rambo. Tee this up to 05...and while we're at it, what do you think of Cornelius Washington? I didn't see much of Georgia this year so I don't know these guys, but I keep reading how people think Washington could be a much better pro than he was college player. He did kill the combine...
Stills doesn't have great size, or speed...and in Oklahoma's spread offense it's easy for a crafty guy like him to be successful. I think he'd have a tougher time in the pro's. If he's available in the 5th round...great pick...but not any earlier.
I've seen so much varied opinion on Wheaton, what round do you think he's going?
Yeah I think Minter is going to be good in a 3-4...good mid round pick.
You're gonna have to enlighten me on Randle.
Love Sharrif Floyd, but do you think he's more of a 4-3 DT?
Like Poyer, there are a couple good CBs that should be available around the 4th like Robert Alford, Logan Ryan, Blidi Wreh-Wilson, and my Hurricane hope Brandon McGee.

I guess I just think the Jets aren't in the position to be taking boom or bust picks right now. They need to hit with at least above average starters in the first 3 rounds in my mind. Once they've built a solid foundation they can take fliers on the Margus Hunts of the world.
Posted 24 April 2013 - 09:03 AM
HurricaneJet32, on 24 April 2013 - 09:56 AM, said:
I don't see him as any more of a risk than Ansah or Mingo and considering that those guys will be Top 10, grabbing Hunt int he 2nd is good value.
Posted 24 April 2013 - 09:09 AM
Woods has good height at 6'-0" but isn't overly bulky at 200 lbs. He didn't test particularly well in any drill at the combine, but that isn't his strength. He runs fantastic routes to any point on the field, has good hands, can create after the catch, and does all the little things to be successful.
PS - That's Robert Woods that Sharmako Thomas is picking a pass off in front of in that photo above.

I know, I know... USC QBS SUCK! LETS NEVER DRAFT A USC QB AGAIN!!!!!!
Posted 24 April 2013 - 12:51 PM
As for Washington... I never noticed him at Georgia honestly, so I can't really form much of an opinion.
God I hope we don't take a guard in the first round...

Yeah, again, I'm a little rusty on ma Bulldogs...but the worry with Williams is his ability to stick with NFL receivers. He has great size and straight line speed, but the lateral agility and quickness is lacking.
But he could be the type Rex likes...an enforcer.

Panthers win after flag picked up; official explains
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Patriots' latest loss came with a touch of controversy.
Despite an interception thrown by Tom Brady as time expired Monday night, all eyes remained on his target, Rob Gronkowski, who appeared to be held by Carolina Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly on the game's final play.
The Panthers held on to beat the Patriots, 24-20, but questions about the call, or no-call, dominated the postgame interviews.
Terrence Miles, the back judge for the officiating crew, saw contact between Kuechly and Gronkowski on the play, and immediately threw his flag. But it was picked up after a discussion with umpire Garth DeFelice and side judge Greg Meyer.
"There were two officials that came in," said referee Clete Blakeman, explaining the decision in a pool report to the media. "One was the umpire and the other one was our side judge and there was a discussion at that point as to the, in essence, the catchability of the ball due to its location.
"So it was determined at that point in time that when the primary contact occurred on the tight end that the ball, in essence, was coming in underthrown and in essence it was immediate at that point intercepted at the front end of the end zone.
"So there was a determination that, in essence, uncatchability, that the ball was intercepted at or about the same time the primary contact against the receiver occurred."
But there was no discussion on whether or not a defensive holding occurred. Blakeman said his crew, which reviewed the play immediately after the game, was confident in the call.
"Yeah, in review, yeah. I think so," he said. "I'm pleased that ... well, two situations. You never like to end the game with some controversy like that on a call, but I'm pleased that our officiating crew got together and communicated and discussed it and, ultimately, I believe we got it right. So that to me is the part that is coming away from it. I'm pleased that our crew was able to discuss it and make the call right."
Bill Belichick said he received no explanation on the call, nor did Tom Brady or Rob Gronkowski, who walked away from the play clapping expecting to get another shot at the end zone.
"He didn't say anything," Brady said. "I didn't really see the play either so I don't know whether it wads a good call or a bad call."
Brady was seen on cameras arguing with the referee as he entered the tunnel to exit the field.
"I wish it wouldn't have come down to that," Brady said. "I think there are plenty of plays we could have made. But it did, and they are going to make a call or they are not going to make a call.
"We can play better than that."
Brady was intercepted by Carolina's Robert Lester to end the game.

A benefit to help the family with medical expenses was held on Nov. 8, at the Ferron multipurpose building at the fairgrounds.
The yard sale portion of the fund raiser began at 4 p.m. with a chili and Indian fry bread dinner at 5 p.m. There was entertainment for the evening by Leather and Lace, with an auction at 7 p.m. A beautiful machine quilted quilt was donated to be raffled also. Donations are still being accepted at any Zions Bank, in Lucas' name, to help with the medical expenses.
When Lucas Giroux was born, there was no sign of anything wrong with his back. As he grew, it became evident that something was indeed wrong. His parents, Gabrielle and George, were soon to discover that Lucas had scoliosis and kyphosis. Scoliosis is curvature of the spine and kyphosis is hunch back. The more Lucas grew, the more the problems escalated.
Lucas, 17, is a senior at Emery High School this year. Although he has enough credits to graduate early, he is staying in school for the experience. He has a 4.0 grade point average and is enjoying his high school days now, and taking some college classes.
In June, Lucas had two surgeries to correct the spinal problems that were beginning to crush his internal organs. The first surgery was on June 2, with a second emergency surgery on June 3 to correct a screw placement. In the first surgery, two 2 foot rods, along with 29 screws were placed to straighten Lucas' spine. He was in the hospital for 11 days, while the medical bills mounted for the family.
Following the surgery, Lucas became four inches taller, to now stand six foot four inches.
When all was said and done, the hospital bills were $259,000. After insurance, the family has a large part to pay. The benefit has helped.

The NFL's three-game Thanksgiving lineup includes two contests featuring rivals with histories that extend back more than half a century.
Yet NFL Films only classifies one of them in the Hatfields and McCoys category.
In the latest episode of Top 10 on NFL Network — the installment in question ranked the game's best rivalries — some how, some way Washington Redskins vs. Dallas Cowboys did not make the list.
RIVALRY RENEWED: Cowboys brace for RGIII
"We know this will stoke the fires of controversy," narrator Derrin Horton says, suggesting the D.C.-Dallas battles jumped the shark after the 1970s. "This rivalry hasn't been relevant in years."
Try telling that to anyone in the Washington market, where listeners call in to local radio year round to sling arrows at America's Team.
And didn't these franchises tee it up in the 1982 NFC Championship Game? Didn't the 'Skins scabs upset a Dallas team using many of its stars during that awful chapter of the strike-interrupted 1987 season? Didn't Jimmy Johnson's 1989 squad avoid a winless season by beating the Redskins at RFK Stadium? Didn't LaVar Arrington's hit on Troy Aikman in 2000 essentially end the Hall of Fame quarterback's career?
And, yes, factor in the ill will that fueled the bitterness of the '70s, and you've got a pretty good and lasting football war.
ANOTHER LIST: USA TODAY's top five NFL rivalries
What's more outrageous about the list — and Bears-Packers and their record 183 meetings was somehow slotted seventh — is that it contains the following "feuds" in the top five: Cowboys-Steelers, Raiders-Steelers and, wait for it, Bengals-Browns. Washington-Dallas is dinged for lacking relevance for three decades, yet this triumvirate has somehow weathered the test of time?
And we know you're wondering, so here's the full rundown: 1. Eagles-Giants (which might get a bump given NFL Films' proximity to Philadelphia) 2. Steelers-Raiders 3. Jets-Patriots 4. Bengals-Browns (just wow) 5. Steelers-Cowboys 6. Steelers-Ravens 7. Packers-Bears 8. Colts-Patriots (which was exciting for all of one decade) 9. Eagles-Cowboys 10. 49ers-Cowboys.
That's right, nothing else out of the history-laden NFC North/Central and not one nod to the AFC West, whose four teams have all done battle laced with vitriol since the AFL's inception in 1960.
We love NFL Films to death. Really. Yet we have to wonder about some of their ham-handed lists and their undisclosed method of crafting them.
If the latest effort is merely an attempt to get people talking, typing and tuning in, well at least we've obliged.

Skip to comments.Padre Pio and the Mother Co-redemptrix(CATHOLIC CAUCUS)
Posted on 09/10/2007 6:18:13 AM PDT by stfassisi
Padre Pio and the Mother Co-redemptrix By Fr. Stefano Maria Manelli, F.I. Saturday, 08 September 2007 It has been written, and rightly so, that "if there is an aspect of the mystery of Mary especially fitting to the life and work of Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, it is certainly the coredemptive aspect of the person and mission of the Immaculate in Gods salvific plan of love" (1).
The mystery of Mary Coredemptrix is present in the life and writings of St. Pio of Pietrelcina at the highest levels of mystical experience which he lived out in body and soul, and of the theologia cordis transmitted by him to his spiritual children in the language of that wisdom transcending by far a language limited to the solely notional and conceptual (2).
St. Pio of Pietrelcina in the first place lived the mystery of Marian Coredemption in his exceptional mystical experience of the Passion of Christ Crucified, of which he bore the living and bleeding stigmata in his body for fifty entire years, from 1918 to 1968. He became an "imprinted reproduction of the wounds of the Lord," according to the happy expression of Pope Paul VI (3). In this exceptional mystical experience he co-immolated himself with Christ, assimilating himself in a most extensive and profound manner to the Mother Coredemptrix who immolates herself with the Son on the Cross in order to bring to pass the universal Redemption (4). It has been written that, "Padre Pio penetrated the sorrows of Mary and participated in them, mirrored them, relived them; as his soul had been a partaker in the sorrows of the Passion, so too he had the gift of participating in the sorrows of Mary" (5).
Into this area of mystical experience, however, the inexperienced are not allowed to enter nor are they in a position to speak of it. St. Bonaventure, the "Seraphic Doctor," teaches expressly that, with regard to the mystical, "those who are not experts and who do not wish to become experienced, must absolutely keep silent" (6).
What is more within the range of our intelligence, then, is the coredemptive aspect of St. Pio of Pietrelcinas active ministry. He exercised the ministry of the confessional for more than fifty years, administering the Sacrament of Reconciliation to such a vast family of penitents that Pope Paul VI called it, in yet another happy expression, a "worldwide clientele" (7). But to administer the Sacrament of forgiveness and of reconciliation between mankind and God means to operate on the same wavelength, so to speak, as Marian Coredemption. In fact, Mary Most Holy, being united with the Redeemer"under Him and with Him," as Vatican II teaches (LG 56)reconciled humanity with God through the sacrificial offering consummated on Calvary; and after Calvary she continues unceasingly to reconcile man to God with her Mediation and Distribution of all the graces of Redemption. Consequently, she is proclaimed the Mother of universal reconciliation.
The spiritual director of St. Pio of Pietrelcina, Fr. Benedict of San Marco, once told St. Pio in a letter of spiritual direction that his particular vocation was a "vocation to coredeem" by means of the daily trials, battles, sufferings, and toils coming from the exercise of his ministry. And in reference particularly to his work as a confessor, it has been accurately observed that "in the ministry of reconciliation, Padre Pio prolonged or, in a certain sense, actualized the fruitfulness of grace of Marian Coredemption which 'restores the supernatural life in souls' (LG 61). In fact, the divine grace acquired by the Redeemer and the Coredemptrix in the 'effecting' of the Redemption is here distributed and applied to every soul in need by means of the sacramental absolution given by Padre Pio to his penitents" (8).
To understand St. Pios "vocation to coredeem" better, one must also consult his writings, of primary value where he speaks of the Coredemptrix in the salvific mystery. And one recognizes immediately that his discourse is not theoretical or notional, but reflects instead the most profound and moving characteristics of the theologia cordis, of theology lived at the level of ascetical and mystical experience , one which gives a knowledge of the mystery characteristically sapiential and experiential, as St. Bonaventure explains (9).
The pages in which St. Pio speaks of the Blessed Virgin Marys sorrows are exceedingly numerous (10). In these pages the figure of Our Lady of Sorrows is present in her immense coredemptive suffering, and she is seen walking along the way to Calvary "immediately behind Jesus... burdened with her own cross" (11). A cross for Jesus, a cross for Mary. It is of value here to recall the insight of Arnold of Chartres who speaks of a double altar on Calvary: "one in the Heart of Mary, the other in the Body of Christ. Christ sacrificed His flesh, Mary her soul" (12). And St. Pio recommends to all "to keep always right behind this Blessed Mother, to walk always close to her, since there is no other road which leads to life, except the one trod by our Mother" (13).
When St. Pio wants to describe the sufferings of Our Lady of Sorrows, he finds a very valid point of reference in his very own suffering, be it moral or physical, a suffering so terrible as to dry up every tear and to petrify him in sorrow (14). For this reason in contemplating Our Ladys sorrows he can expand his soul and say: "Yes, now I understand, oh Jesus, why in admiring You Your Mother did not weep beneath the Cross" (15), because "by the excess of sorrow, she remained petrified before her crucified Son" (16); and on another page of sublime contemplation touching his own measureless sorrows and those of Our Lady, he exclaims movingly: "Now I seem to be penetrating what was the martyrdom of our most beloved Mother (...). Oh, if all people would but penetrate this martyrdom! Who could succeed in suffering with this, yes, our dear Coredemptrix? Who would refuse her the good title of Queen of Martyrs?" (17)
The words "dear Coredemptrix" express most exactly soteriological value of the Blessed Virgin Marys maternal mission in the tones of a pure theologia cordis. She coredeemed humanity by offering the divine Victim, her Son Jesus, in the bloody immolation of the Cross, and co-immolating herself with Him in order to "restore supernatural life to souls" (LG 61), became in this way our "Mother in the order of grace" (LG 1.c.) (18). She "gave birth to us in sorrows," affirms St. Pio. She is, therefore, the Mother Coredemptrix. She desires to raise her children and, what is more, to make them grow even unto the stature of Christ. She is, therefore, the Mother Mediatrix and Dispensatrix of all graces (19), always "associated with Jesus in applying the fruits of the Redemption to souls," as Fr. Melchior da Pobladura writes (20). The Coredemptrix reacquired the grace lost. The Mediatrix distributes the grace reacquired. There is an operative continuity between the Coredemption and Distribution of saving grace. And, according to the teaching of St. Pio of Pietrelcina, we should be eternally grateful to "our dear Coredemptrix" and to our "Mediatrix and Dispensatrix of all graces."
Fr. Stefano Maria Manelli, F.I., is Founder and Minister General of the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate. He is internationally known for his distinguished preaching and biblical, Mariological scholarship. His Biblical Mariology has recently appeared in English under the title: All Generations Shall Call Me Blessed.

It should also be noted that St. Pio frequently recalled Our Lady of Sorrows to his penitents in giving them the sacramental penance of reciting seven Hail Marys to Our Lady of Sorrows, "and sometimes he could not succeed in finishing the word Addolorata (Our Lady of Sorrows) without an outburst of tears!" (ibid. p. 123).

(18) The following is well stated: "As to the words 'dear Coredemptrix' it is important to verify how for Padre Pio of Pietrelcina the term Coredemptrix serves also to efficaciously explain the truth of the compassion and transfixion of Mary Most Holy in the universal work of Redemption. Here mystical theology, too, supports the usage of the term Coredemptrix, already common in Mariology and in the Church for centuries, used even by the Sovereign Pontiffs, and particularly by Pope John Paul II" (N. Castello, S.M. Manelli, work cited, pp.126-127).
(19) St. Pio himself wrote these expressions on a little memorial image for his fiftieth anniversary as a priest, calling Our Lady precisely the "most sweet Mother (mamma) of priests, Mediatrix and Dispensatrix of all graces" (reported by Ferdinando da Riese, P. Pio da Pietrelcina crocifisso senza croce, Foggia, IT 1991, p.428).

This is very helpful and confirms my 'take' on the whole co-redemption thing. I think every Xtian is called to co-redeem in some way.
Here is a few more you might enjoy.

I wish you a Blessed day!
Dear Brother,
This is a Catholic Caucus thread.
Please find an open thread and I am sure myself and others will be happy to help you.
I wish you a Blessed day!
Either post 8 (and 9) need to be removed or the thread must be opened for rebuttal. Which do you prefer?
Ok, that seems to be a bit ridiculous. A Caucus designation can be removed for now LINKING to something that is critical of another creed!?
And we just lost a Caucus thread because of such manuevers.
The earlier one that was locked because of "bad behavior"?
3. Closed threads on the Religion Forum include devotionals, prayer threads and caucuses. The header of the thread should make it obvious that the thread is closed, i.e. like a church meeting behind closed doors. Such assemblies will not be disturbed. Any challenges or ridicule will be removed. Any thread can be designated a caucus - e.g. labeled as a [Catholic Caucus] or [LDS Caucus] - provided that neither the article nor any of the posts challenge [*see footnote] or ridicule any other confession. These are safe harbors for those who are easily offended or are ill equipped to defend their own confession.

OK< my wrong interpretation.
So the interpretation is that a "post" can mean a link?? That's absurd!
Just my opinion, have the RM remove 8, 9 and the last one and keep the caucus designation.
As I said, the caucus designation is now over. It just doesn't know it yet. Wait until A Calvinist Caucus thread mentions Arminianism. I'll be there.
Did you ever notice that caucuses are the shortest of threads?
Yeah, that was the one where some were permitted to come in and trash the thread, the first such posting at #3 while there was no known reference to anything challenging anything. Then others maintained that the title alone was so inflammatory that , in essence, no rules applied. Just believing what we believe and saying so is an offense to some.
Apparently so, given some of the posts I saw on that thread.
Well, we could make our own caucus rules and post them at the top of caucus threads.
When a Catholic/Orthodox caucus thread is posted and the RM refuses to honor it for any reason, we Catholics can refuse to engage the crashers. We can pretend that they aren't there.
I can say from my view that I have not seen one of their posts which made a significant and valid point. Their posts might mislead other non-Catholics but they can't touch my faith.
Sure I know what the first reaction is, but it is part of our ecclesiology to think that schools of thought which conflict advisedly and intentionally on matters which the Catholic Church considers de fide are by definition heretical.
Further, the term Protestant is so equivocal, that it's hard to see how to use it as the name of a "Faith" or a "confession". Do we mean merely those who disagree with the Catholic understanding of the role of the See of Peter or do we mean those who hold some variety of Calvinism, or what?
If the first, then the term is synonymous (for Catholics) with heretic -- just as Catholicism is considered a bundle of heresies by Protestants.
If you add to that holding a link to be equivalent to the post, then, as I say, the Caucus designation is toast.
I'm still interested in seeing a non-Catholic caucus that was immediately swarmed by Catholics.
For that matter, I would be interested in seeing ANY non-Catholic thread, OTHER THAN THOSE WITH INFLAMMATORY TITLES (i.e. "Proof that Peter wasn't Pope", which I know has never actually been a title, but you get the idea), that has been swarmed by Catholics.
Maybe I have blinders on, but I am not aware of Catholics on this forum seeking non-Catholic threads to attack the beliefs of Protestants.
The material on a link counts. For instance, if the website from which an article is posted includes links to Jack Chick material, it will be pulled.
Likewise, on the News Forum, if the link includes pornographic material, it will be pulled.
As to consistency in the application of Religion Forum guidelines, please be advised that I was on vacation last week. The Admin Moderators on duty used their best judgment in handling the notoriously hot thread.
Moreover, we have a policy of "stare decisis" - so that moderators do not disturb actions previously taken by other moderators.
For the record, unless the title includes a direct affront the caucus will not be broken on my watch. It would take something like "Protestants are heretics [Catholic Caucus]" to fail the test.
"... we Catholics can refuse to engage the crashers."
We can try but I'm even being harrassed by FReepmail now by one of them.
See? A little touch-typing issue here.
Let me know the particulars by Freepmail - harassment via Freepmail is not allowed.
Not to be confrontational, but this isn't quite clear.
Let's say hypothetically, a Catholic write writes something and in it he mentions Jack Chick hating Catholics and has an illustration of one of Chick's publications, would that be considered a link?
Hope you had a great vacation!
Sure thing.
I suspect I know which one.
I hope the record is adequately clear here: None of this involves referring to Mary as "Redemptrix." Claims to the contrary are false.
I got a couple too. I just deleted them. They just wanted to get the last word in.
And yes, I had a great vacation! Thank you!
Why do you suppose it is that we rarely do caucuses?
I don't know about you but when I read the caucus threads I learn alot. I love reading the responses and have learned from them too. I don't often respond because most of the time I don't have a lot to add.
That makes sense to a point. However, if a Catholic apologetic is writing something about religious bigotry and happens to mention the name, it would seem a little extreme to pull it.
Then again, you're the one who makes the decisions.
Then take the second part of my post.
Yeah. That's about where I am. Usually somebody said it all and better than I can.
It is a bit extreme - but at least for now, I have determined it is necessary to disallow certain material to maintain respect on open threads.
Fair enough.
This is pretty common on threads related to Catholic topics. Comment #4 attacked us for a belief only tangentially related to what we in fact teach and scarcely related to the notion of co-redeemers or co-redemptrices.
That's why we have caucus threads. Those who disagree with us prefer disagreeing not with us but with their cleverly devised fables about what we believe. It's wearing.
Here's a few that come immediately to mind. And Gamecock posted a Protestant caucus on a pro-life topic, that I can't find the link to at this time.
REFORMATION SUNDAY (Reformed Caucus)
Why the Reformers Read the Fathers [Calvinist/Reformed Caucus thread]
Wow! Those are disgraceful. I'm embarrassed!
Geesh ,I left to go to Mass and the religion mod's around here remove links that help explain things in more detail!
Go figure! They will stop at nothing to discredit our Blessed Mother
If you'd prefer, I can restore the link and the posts following - but the thread will have to be opened for rebuttal. Or you can find similar materials which do not contrast beliefs between confessions.
And it's equally common on your side of the aisle, as well. I'll refrain from mentioning the name of the Catholic poster who posted them, but here's a sampling of earlier quotes, and the dates they were posted, from one of the Catholics on that Marian thread that was shut down over the weekend. Catholics are no more innocent of the religious flamewars here than Protestants are.
1/23: Brace thyself for the attacks of snake handlers, calvinists, "non-denoms" and others...
1/24: If you're upset that I called out the cults for what they are...sorry...but it's still an accurate depiction of the non-denoms, mormons, calvinists and other wacky cults.
2/5: Mormons...the cult that's become commonplace...so hard-up for membership that they have to resort to attempted spiritual kidnapping of the dead...
2/13: Fact is, John Calvin was an unintelligent, perverse fraud who founded a cult known as "calvinism." The Episcopal "Church" was started by an English king who could not get the Pope to accept the king's immoral ways. Luther was a disaffected, likely egomaniacal priest. Protestantism is a breakoff of mainstream Christianity that seeks to glorify the pastor more than the Lord. Presby's are some of the laziest "Christians" out there...as are all of their predestination cousins.
2/14: Would the calvinist cult members like some damnation with their heresy?
2/15: As for your post, you're also off base and reciting a continual lie of the snake handlers, calvinists and "pastor" worship folks at the Church of the Almighty Dollar.
2/21: Hey...I'm not surprised by anything the snake-handling crowd does. Their "churches" are simply shrines to the "pastors" - no theological foundation...
3/1: Why is this listed as a Catholic interest article? Why not Calvinists? They're the ones who practice the witchcraft.
3/2: You'll note that it's "Calvin" College. Again, I ask why are the activities at a cult center in the midwest relevant to Catholics?
3/4: I tell ya, this "reverend" ... is nothing more than an uneducated bumpkin. Wonder how much money he's skimming from the ship of fools attending his "church..."
3/4: You'd be stunned by how quickly these snake handlers degrade into profanity, anger and threats.
3/4: Again, a demonstration of a protestant being ignorant...
3/4: Let's have a little fun with that wackiest of prot sects, the Baptists
3/5: Being a protestant is in itself a demonstration of ignorance...
3/6: The pentacostals, "church of God" and others are simply inventions of men...designed to pump the ego and line the pockets of the "pastors." But continue donating...I'm sure your pastor is happy in his new Benz...
3/7: Martin Luther, being a relatively lazy type, deleted a good chunk of the Bible? A British king, attempting to justify his own heresy and immorality, heavily edited a version to suit his own twisted lifestyle?
3/7: Yes, if you're a born again, declared protty, then you're clear to do whatever you wish..."date" male hookers, cheat on your spouse, defraud donors of money intended for religious purposes...not that any protestant "ministers" did that or anything...
3/9: Perhaps things are different at your church - one of the, what, million protestant sects? However, the snake handling pentacostal calvinist wannabeatelevangelist "churches" here typically only use snippets.
3/14: Hell, most "Protestant" "churches" in my area are simply shrines to the ego (and pocketbook) of the "pastor."
3/28: Luther was a self-absorbed idiot...and his followers are fools...a complete bunch of utter fools.
3/28: Perhaps I'll just convert to that calvinist cult I've heard so much about.
3/31: That's the real origin of the Anglican church - born of sin and a king's ego,
I believe this thread is staying in the caucus state so I'll wait for some other opportunity to discuss Marianism.

U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter and Joe Coors, his opponent for Colorado's 7th congressional district, met for their latest debate last week where both tackled some of their opponent's allegations.
The Oct. 17 debate was moderated by Denver Post political reporter Lynn Bartels and 9NEWS political reporter Brandon Rittiman, and was broadcast on 9NEWS, and posted on the Post website.
Question one asked Coors about his investing of $40 million of family trust funds in 2002 into a bogus bond trading program that offered a 75 percent return a week.
"How do you reconcile that with touting your business skills on the campaign trail?" Bartels asked.
Coors replied that his family had a strong business record in Colorado stretching back to the 1860s. He brought up Perlmutter's support of the stimulus bill that helped fund the failed government loan to solar company Solyndra. He said it was his assistance with the FBI that helped stop the con artists, "and got those folks behind bars."
According documents filed in U.S. District Court, the firm Merrill Lynch caught the fraud and froze the account. Coors later filed a lawsuit against the firm, alleging that it should have caught on to the fraud sooner.
Question two was directed at Perlmutter, asking about a promise he made when running for Congress in 2006: That his then-wife would not lobby him or any member of the House of Representatives while he was in office.
Perlmutter's ex-wife, Deana Perlmutter, was the head of the Denver office for lobbying firm Dutko Worldwide at the time of his election in 2006. Records show that she began lobbying other members of the House of Representatives in the first half of 2007.
"My wife never lobbied me, and she still hasn't lobbied me, more than four years after we've been divorced," Perlmutter said.
The two finalized their divorce in 2008. Perlmutter has since remarried.
Rittiman asked Coors about CoorsTek's opening of a South Korean factory during his time as that country's CEO, asking if American countries should be encouraged to keep jobs in America, even if that increases cost.
"No American jobs were lost, ever," Coors said, insisting that the factory opening was more about opening Asian markets, than in lowering costs.
Perlmutter rebutted, saying CoorsTek's own shareholder reports seem to indicate the move was motivated by lower wage costs.
Question four was aimed back at Perlmutter, asking why his previous measure of support from otherwise-Republican voters seems to have eroded lately.
"Well, Joe and I live in the same neighborhood, we have the same number of friends, many of them Republican, and they may be picking Joe over me," Perlmutter said.
The fifth question of the debate asked both candidates about their stances on health-care reform. Perlmutter supported President Barack Obama's reforms. Coors said he'd work to would repeal it, saying it will increase taxes on the middle class.
Perlmutter used the question to attack his opponent about his former support of a state anti-abortion ballot measure.
"I'm a pro-life person, but let's get back to the more significant issues facing this country, like 23 million people out of work or underemployed," Coors said, calling personhood a dead issue that he would not revive.
When questioned further by the moderators about whether he would sponsor, or sign legislation in congress that would restrict women's reproductive rights, Coors said he would not.
